"Thou Shall Not Murder" (FTTxJT Fri 100226 hr2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: This is Independence from Virginia, again, first thing today, by
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Joe works at.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: The steel mill, he's damn near every day.
• 0:14
  Speaker 4: Leaves for work when the sun comes up, drops the
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: kids to school and on the way. Joe has everything
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: he dreamed of, all the treasures that he needs.
• 0:25
  Speaker 5: No wonder Joe's always smiling, he only aims to please you.
• 0:32
  Speaker 6: Let me be your Joe.
• 0:34
  Speaker 7: God bless you for letting me be of service to.
• 0:40
  Speaker 8: You.
• 0:41
  Speaker 7: I want to be your Joe.
• 0:43
  Speaker 9: 434-882-4217.
• 0:44
  Speaker 7: That is the phone number. Emails come in to jtinthemorningradio
• 0:48
  Speaker 7: at gmail.com. You can also use that phone number for
• 0:52
  Speaker 7: text messages. Very popular. And this one is a great...
• 0:57
  Speaker 7: And it's coming... up from Tennessee, and our friends WGOW
• 1:02
  Speaker 7: in Chattanooga just joining in to the party this morning. Obviously,
• 1:06
  Speaker 7: the Krista Pike story has been there, but we've got
• 1:10
  Speaker 7: a lot of other stuff. Apparently, the government has determined
• 1:13
  Speaker 7: what the cost of government is. I know they use
• 1:16
  Speaker 7: the word socialism, but this many years removed from the
• 1:20
  Speaker 7: great society, how can you tell the difference?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: What?
• 1:24
  Speaker 8: I get it.
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: But what if, I get it, what if Kamala Harris
• 1:32
  Speaker 7: was president? Please, that keeps me up at night. But
• 1:36
  Speaker 7: this text message on the subject of Krista Pike, we're
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: talking about capital punishment in abstract, and whether or not,
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: and this is one of the ones the left loves
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: to use to divide the conservatives, because there are ardent
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: Christian conservatives that are deeply amongst the anti-death penalty mindset
• 2:04
  Speaker 7: and believe me the left in the media is going
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: to make hay out of this case specifically to divide
• 2:13
  Speaker 7: the conservative movement because it's all about elections to them
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: and that's the email Tony writes in but Joe didn't
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: the voters of Tennessee vote for capital punishment how can
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: you question what they decided electorally Well, I think it's
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: more they chose officials, elected representatives who passed laws that
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: created the death penalty within the state. But be careful.
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: This is what the left wants. Everything is up for
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: a vote. Who gets stoned to death and who doesn't?
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: Let's take a vote. And that's a dangerous Pandora's box
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: to open. From where I sit. But your point is
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: well taken. Why argue with the voters of Tennessee? Didn't
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: they decide they wanted the death penalty? Is it theirs
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: to decide electorally? That's a question. Our first things, obviously
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: the issue, she still remains in medical care in a
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: hospital after the botched, if you want to use that term,
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: but a failed two attempts at lethal injection. Krista Pike
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: is receiving life-saving care, according to her lawyer, Randy Pivey.
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: Krista is alive right now. We don't have a sense
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: of her prognosis or how much update on her health
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: at the moment. Meanwhile, in other stories, U.S. is calling
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: on its European allies to open their global diesel reserves
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: while discussing on this side of the pond whether to
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: restrict exports of diesel fuel in an attempt to lower
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: the prices. Scott Besson said in a post on social media,
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: our European partners should accelerate delivery on their existing commitments
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: and make additional supplies available to address ongoing disruptions. White
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: House Council of Economic Advisers said Thursday that they've done
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: a report, 92 pages long, about half the size of
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: the usual congressional legislation these days, that if the Democratic
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: Socialists of America imposed all of their agenda points, it
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: would impose a $ 49 trillion net fiscal burden on the
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: United States for the next decade. Department of Justice says
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: that they've averaged more than a case a day against
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: non-citizens accused of illegal voting, according to a report in
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: The Washington Times. Judge on Thursday overturned the administration's decision
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: to fire court-appointed top U.S. prosecutor Roger Rogoff, who was
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: fired an hour after appointed by 17 active and senior
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: judges in the Western District of Washington. He sued to
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: have his firing overturned. Supreme Court agreed Thursday to hear
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: an immigration case which could determine the future of catch
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: and release. The case, Roney, acting director v. Barbosa da Cunha,
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: involves whether a federal immigration law requires the government to
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: detain non-citizen immigrants who are in the United States while
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: their removal proceedings are pending. September's employment report arrives today,
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: and the Federal Reserve is watching carefully to see what
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: impact their rate hike had. And the Pentagon has doubled
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: hostile fire pay to $ 450 a month, first pay raise
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: in years for our servicemen.
• 6:08
  Speaker 10: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co-host of Foster and Friends
• 6:11
  Speaker 10: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
• 6:14
  Speaker 10: famed lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
• 6:17
  Speaker 10: word win stood for what's important now. The Lunch Pail

  Speaker 12: People are just happier with it.

  Speaker 11: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes their.
• 7:21

  Speaker 13: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 8:08
  Speaker 13: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 8:13
  Speaker 13: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 8:18
  Speaker 13: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 8:23
  Speaker 13: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 8:28
  Speaker 13: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 8:32
  Speaker 13: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 8:36
  Speaker 13: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 8:39
  Speaker 13: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 8:42
  Speaker 13: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,

  Speaker 15: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 9:37
  Speaker 15: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 9:41
  Speaker 15: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 9:44
  Speaker 15: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 9:49
  Speaker 15: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 9:53
  Speaker 15: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 9:56
  Speaker 15: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 9:59
  Speaker 15: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

• 10:14
  Speaker 15: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 10:17
  Speaker 15: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for

• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: Here's to the beauty of the stars. Here's to the
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: travelers on the open road. Here's to the soldiers of
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: the bitter war. Here's to the wall that bears their names.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: Here's to you, my little loves, with blessings from above
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: none of the day.
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: I drink your health this morning. There are many things afoot,
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: but this story, and I want to read a text message.
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: Joel's hanging on the line with us, called in a
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: little bit ago, but I don't want to jump back
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: to his point. But Ellen, I think, gains the essence
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: of what I'm getting at with the issue of capital punishment.
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: And again, I remind you, The leftists, the Marxists, the
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: democratic socialists of America, they want to use issues like this,
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: these kind of wedge issues, to make conservatives not show
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: up to vote for things like, oh, question one, which
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: will criminalize crisis pregnancy centers, and give them the authority
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: to have euthanasia as they see fit and to have
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: this European style. Well, the kid's a couple of years old.
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: He's not turning out to be anything. And then the
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: subject of life, we need to look at it at
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: both ends. And this Krista Pike story out of Tennessee
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: is brought it to the fore. And I think Ellen
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: breaks up the essence of this. The woman Pike had
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: a tortured life and did a horrible thing that took
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: another person's life and traumatized others. That said, she spent
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: all her adult life in prison, expecting to be executed
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: and submitted to it. To all intents and purposes, she
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: was executed. Let her sentence be commuted to life in
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: prison instead. God must think she still has something to
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: offer still. And Ellen, to your point, I think it's
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: this conversation. I think it is, you know, in the
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: fullness of it, And I don't disagree with people's urgent
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: need to say the depraved indifference that Larry mentioned in
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: a text earlier. I mean, my God, the woman at
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: some point. And it's all of our responsibilities. This goes
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: back even to the essence of what I say about abortion.
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: I want to make unplanned or unwanted pregnancies an unheard
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: of thing. I want us to be great again. where
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: we're growing up not wanting to have an unwanted pregnancy,
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: where every pregnancy is precious, where every pregnancy is entered
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: into with the full intent of this is going to
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: be the most special thing ever. That a parent understands
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: that the most important thing they're going to do for
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: 17 or 18 years is instill points to their children
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: that hitting somebody in the head with a giant rock
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: is a bad thing. And there will be other rules,
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: but that might be one of them that you put
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: into the rule book there. Hamp, down on the Treasure Coast,
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: so Pike just did their best to kill her and
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: now receiving life-saving care. How does that make any sense?
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: They did their best to kill her and now they're
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: giving her life-saving care. Well, you know, and Hamp, I
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: think I see your point here is if the government
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: couldn't kill her, how are they going to save her?
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: But this becomes a very, very divisive issue amongst conservatives,
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: many of whom are ardently Christian and are full in
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: the belief that life is only for God to take.
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: And this is why I brought up David Berkowitz, who has,
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: by all testimony of corrections, wardens and such in New
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: York State, has brought many people to Jesus through his ministry. Yes,
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: he killed many of them on the streets of New
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: York City in the summer of Sam. But I think
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: the story is that once freed from the power of Lucifer,
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: he was able to realize what he had done. Yeah,
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: he asked for parole. It's his right to. He doesn't
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: get it. He doesn't get out. But while he's there,
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: he helps other people who are in the grips of
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: Satan break free and get right with Jesus and with God.
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: So I think Ellen's point is perhaps more eloquently than
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: even I was able to say it. We're here, and
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: we have to remember, I think, and again, my friend
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: John Quisenberry will always say, you know, put his head
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: in his hands when he hears me waxing or Joe Varoxa.
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: Joe Varoxa actually does prison ministry in our local jails here.
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: They shake their head when I wax theological. But we
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: are in Lucifer's domain. When people ask me, you know,
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: how can God let bad things happen? Right down here,
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: this is where The deceiver runs things. We're going through
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: his crucible and trying to do right while the world
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: is trying to make us do wrong. And that's the
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: hard bit about being alive, is that everything around you
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: wants you to do wrong. Every single thing is designed
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: by Lucifer himself, not the good looking British actor that
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: you saw on Fox television the fire and brimstone the
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: guy who wants your immortal soul the guy who wants
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: you to fail in the simplest of scriptures and become
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: his for time in memoriam that's the battle we're fighting
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: He was down at that riverside in Tennessee, and he
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: was probably in the home of Krista McPike for the
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: 17 years prior to that. And we're taught that those
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: who have wronged other people should have some punishment for
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: it and and if you steal from someone there is
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: punishments and we've all you know agreed on and that's
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: the borderline the the tightrope that we have to walk
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: as uh earlier text said didn't the voters of tennessee
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: vote in the death penalty as as a law yeah
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: they did can the voters of minnesota vote to close
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: your business Can the voters of Minnesota or can the
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: voters of Southern California and San Bernardino, can they vote
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: to close your business because they don't like you? Because
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: the left, the same people who are driven by Lou
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: Cipher himself, one of the great character names. If you've
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: never seen the movie Angel Heart, it's worth it just
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: for I know he's a hot mess and he's probably
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: possessed by Lucifer himself, but De Niro's depiction of Lucifer
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: in Angel Heart is frightening at best, but a great
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: way to come up with an earthly name for this hatred.
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: But he's always after us to make the wrong decisions.
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: He's always asking us to forget that which we should remember.

• 29:09
  Speaker 7: you're thinking about it, the Lord knows you're inundated with
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: ads everywhere. from these big chains saying, call our operators
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: standing by, mostly in the United States, and none of
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: them certainly under any commitment to upsell you on anything.

• 30:01
  Speaker 7: anyone who calls at 434-979-COIN, James. But I know you
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: do it anyway. So how are you doing this Friday morning?
• 30:10
  Speaker 12: I'm doing well, Joe.

• 30:21
  Speaker 27: into physical gold and silver. We know it's not going
• 30:24
  Speaker 27: to be the entire portfolio, but we do recommend that
• 30:27
  Speaker 27: it's about 10% or a fraction. It's just a piece
• 30:30
  Speaker 27: of the puzzle of the overall picture of your investment
• 30:34
  Speaker 27: to fight inflation and to fight against the shrinking dollar.
• 30:38
  Speaker 23: Gold and silver are just at even so far this morning,

  Speaker 23: that they've been working on all week. Gold is at $ 4, 178,
• 30:50
  Speaker 23: and silver is at $ 61, like I said, even so
• 30:55
  Speaker 23: far in the day.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: I just have that feeling. I mean, I start to
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: sense this pent-up spike coming. I don't know why. Just
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: after doing this with you, As many years as you
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: and I have been talking and talking about gold and
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: silver prices, Lord only knows, I remember when silver was
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: like 20 bucks an ounce. But I just feel like
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: we've been hovering at this plateau for so long that
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: at some point something's going to give. Maybe it's the
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: jobs report today. I don't know. But you, with the
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: radio on, you can check JCS Gold anytime, but call

  Speaker 7: 434-979-COIN. That is our number.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: 882-4217.
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: He went and got himself a cup of coffee. Joel
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: was on the line with us and wanted to talk
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: about this Krista Pike situation and so many eddies and
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: currents in it. But just a quick reminder on behalf
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: of this program and the programming philosophy of it. We
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: want people to vote against this horrific abortion amendment in Virginia.
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: There's so much within the actual language that would add
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: more fuel to the ability of the government to take lives.
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: And I'm just on the side of life there, Joel,
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: and I appreciate it. I really am praying for you
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: to get this gig with the emergency care place. I
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: know you've worked for some notable health care folks in
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: the past, but these folks sound like a good emergency
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: care bunch of doctors out there in Arizona.
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 33:25
  Speaker 28: And Virginia is a whole other story with the board
• 33:28
  Speaker 28: of rectors.
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: Hey, don't talk about body parts like that. Oh, you
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: said rectors. I'm sorry. Anyway, so what else is on
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: your mind this morning, sir?
• 33:42
  Speaker 28: Well, I mean, throughout at least our Christian history, it
• 33:45
  Speaker 28: all has to do with the bite of the apple,
• 33:49
  Speaker 28: doesn't it?
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: Take us back. I mean, yes, I think a lot
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: of our problem is when Adam and Eve fell from
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: God's grace. But there's also, you know, there are some
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: folks who say, you know, humanity is the fruit of
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: that moment because the things we have accomplished are you know,
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: have been from our free will, which was what we
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: exerted and, you know, and accepted our punishment for.
• 34:21
  Speaker 28: And, you know, one thing, Jim, when I was little,
• 34:24
  Speaker 28: I was one of those, I guess I was one
• 34:25
  Speaker 28: of those little three or four year old weird kids
• 34:27
  Speaker 28: that kept asking, why dad, why dad?
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: Never say that was weird, by the way. I endorse
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: that kind of behavior in every child.
• 34:38
  Speaker 28: Yeah, because I said, Dad, I said, but they just
• 34:43
  Speaker 28: stole this, or they didn't really. He goes, well, sin
• 34:47
  Speaker 28: is sin. He goes, it's man that tries to define
• 34:50
  Speaker 28: what the sin is, and God has already put that
• 34:52
  Speaker 28: in the Ten Commandments. Because you never know. Let's say somebody,
• 34:57
  Speaker 28: even though we know we can trace the apple back
• 34:59
  Speaker 28: to Adam and Eve, but let's say somebody stole an
• 35:03
  Speaker 28: apple off an apple cart, and this is back in,
• 35:06
  Speaker 28: let's say, 1900s. And that person gets accused of stealing it.
• 35:11
  Speaker 28: And the marketeer goes, they get the guy or the
• 35:15
  Speaker 28: girl or whatever, and they beat the crap out of
• 35:18
  Speaker 28: them and they die. And their death is based off
• 35:22
  Speaker 28: of stealing an apple.
• 35:24
  Speaker 27: They go, well, it was.
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: Just an apple.
• 35:26
  Speaker 28: Then you have two things going on. You have somebody
• 35:29
  Speaker 28: out of anger. Instead of just saying, hey, you were hungry.
• 35:35
  Speaker 28: You can just come over and ask me and I
• 35:37
  Speaker 28: forgive you. So, I mean, it's horrible to think of
• 35:40
  Speaker 28: all these crimes and things like that and hideous things.
• 35:43
  Speaker 28: But if we're not going to, and I'm not saying
• 35:47
  Speaker 28: this for the heinous things that people do, but who
• 35:50
  Speaker 28: are we to say we can forgive people? And then
• 35:54
  Speaker 28: we ask for forgiveness of God and we go, well, God,
• 35:57
  Speaker 28: it was just an apple. He goes, I'm sorry, you're
• 35:59
  Speaker 28: going to hell because you stole an apple.
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: Well, thou shalt not steal. And I think this becomes...
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: One of the important things about what is man's place
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: in justice, because if you just say it is God's
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: judgment finally over our sins, there has to be, in
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: order to have a civil society, a legal system, what's
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: the expression, render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, If
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: you wrong one of your neighbors, there has to be
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: some sort of toolkit so that you have order, because
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: you have to know that you're going to be punished
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: municipally if you violate someone's rights, just as much as
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: you know that it's a mortal sin. Because remember, Jesus
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: told us that he died for our sins. So is
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: David Berkowitz, to go back to my example— Is he,
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: in the eyes of God, forgiven because he has repented
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: his sins and now is ministering and has received that
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: which we tell each other we're able to receive? Now,
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: he's still bearing the yoke of his municipal... his community punishment.
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: He's in jail and he's going to stay in jail.
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: But there are lives that he may have saved through
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: his prison ministry. This becomes the point of whose life
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: is it? Was Krista Pike the agent of Satan when
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: she killed the girl by the river? And is this
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: making us a better person?
• 38:02
  Speaker 13: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44
• 38:05

  Speaker 13: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:07
  Speaker 13: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13
  Speaker 13: I'm Dr.
• 39:14
  Speaker 14: Mitch.
• 39:14
  Speaker 13: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 39:20
  Speaker 13: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 39:24
  Speaker 13: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 39:29
  Speaker 13: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 39:33
  Speaker 13: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 39:39
  Speaker 13: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
• 39:44
  Speaker 13: least slow the spread of cancer and in many instances
• 39:47
  Speaker 13: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

  Speaker 8: Hi, everybody.
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: I'm Jack Hanna.
• 41:00
  Speaker 29: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
• 41:02
  Speaker 29: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
• 41:05
  Speaker 29: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
• 41:07
  Speaker 29: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
• 41:10
  Speaker 29: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes.
• 41:13
  Speaker 8: Who work hard to provide for their young.
• 41:14
  Speaker 29: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 41:18
  Speaker 29: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 41:21
  Speaker 29: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 41:23
  Speaker 29: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
• 41:26
  Speaker 29: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
• 41:29
  Speaker 29: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 41:32
  Speaker 29: they also perform lifesaving work every day. Dogs keep us
• 41:35
  Speaker 29: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 41:38
  Speaker 29: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 41:41
  Speaker 29: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 41:44
  Speaker 29: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: And help those in need.
• 41:48
  Speaker 29: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 41:51
  Speaker 29: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 41:53
  Speaker 29: planet we inhabit together. Go to americanhumane.org to learn more.

  Speaker 17: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 42:01
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah?
• 42:02
  Speaker 28: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 19: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 42:10
  Speaker 8: Heart and brain.
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 29: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 42:15
  Speaker 19: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 42:18
  Speaker 19: somebody call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: Love that guy.
• 42:20
  Speaker 8: Me too.
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 42:29
  Speaker 30: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 42:31
  Speaker 30: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 42:35
  Speaker 30: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 30: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:42
  Speaker 30: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 42:46
  Speaker 30: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 42:52
  Speaker 30: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 42:55
  Speaker 30: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 42:59
  Speaker 30: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 43:01
  Speaker 30: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 43:04
  Speaker 30: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 43:08
  Speaker 30: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 43:11
  Speaker 30: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 43:15
  Speaker 30: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 43:18
  Speaker 30: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.

  Speaker 30: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
• 43:27
  Speaker 30: protection agency.
• 43:30
  Speaker 31: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 43:33
  Speaker 31: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 43:35
  Speaker 31: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 43:41
  Speaker 31: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: But help is available.
• 43:46
  Speaker 31: Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories at maketheconnection.net and learn
• 43:51
  Speaker 31: how you can support the veterans in your life. Treatment works.
• 43:56
  Speaker 31: Recovery is possible.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 44:26
  Speaker 7: It is time, and we can come back to the
• 44:29
  Speaker 7: conversation about the, you know, and I cannot say this enough.
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: The left, the Marxists, the Spanbergers of the world want
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: to use this as a wedge issue to divide conservatives.
• 44:51
  Speaker 7: But if you think about this is all the more
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: reason to get out and vote for issue one, ballot
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: question one, we are defending life. But they will use,
• 45:04
  Speaker 7: whether they say that which God means for good. So
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: please don't let it disparage you or dispirit you if
• 45:13
  Speaker 7: we're discussing controversial stuff here on the radio. Let's pull
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: out a couple of names from the entries. We have
• 45:21
  Speaker 7: Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets. All across the nation. And we're going
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: to do two drawings here. One for the network show
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: and one for our flagship station out of Charlottesville where
• 45:35
  Speaker 7: we have two simultaneous giveaways going on. The first one
• 45:41
  Speaker 7: from the national show audience here. Paul Giordano wants to
• 45:47
  Speaker 7: go to the Tampa, Florida show. Appreciate you listening. I
• 45:51
  Speaker 7: guess WBGS down there. in St. Pete. Appreciate it. But Paul,
• 45:56
  Speaker 7: thank you for entering for that. And now from the
• 46:01
  Speaker 7: pile of folks who want to go to the Charlottesville one,
• 46:06
  Speaker 7: I feel for you. I feel for you. Mary Craft,
• 46:11
  Speaker 7: whose email is vacubfan. It's a tough time to be
• 46:15
  Speaker 7: a cub fan this morning or these last couple of
• 46:19
  Speaker 7: days anyway. But congratulations, you've got a pair of tickets
• 46:22
  Speaker 7: to the Charlottesville, Virginia show on December 16th. Enter to win.
• 46:27
  Speaker 7: If you're just hearing about it and you're saying, what's
• 46:29
  Speaker 7: going on? Go to JoeThomasInTheMorning.com. One of the key races,
• 46:35
  Speaker 7: and nobody is talking about this race nationally because they
• 46:39
  Speaker 7: just assume, because everyone sees Mark Warner's ex-account and his
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: bank account, that he's got this sewn up. Bert Missisawa.
• 46:47
  Speaker 7: General Burt, as we like to call him around the Commonwealth,
• 46:50
  Speaker 7: is running for the U.S.
• 46:52
  Speaker 8: Senate.
• 46:52
  Speaker 7: And I'm on record saying that I think this is
• 46:54
  Speaker 7: going to be one of those stories come middle of
• 46:58
  Speaker 7: November that CNN and all these folks are going to
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: be trying to get a handle on. Burt is on
• 47:04
  Speaker 7: the newsmaker's line with us. Burt, congratulations on launching into
• 47:09
  Speaker 7: this campaign. And thank you for all the assistance you've
• 47:11
  Speaker 7: been to President Trump. over the years how has the
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: campaign uh trail been treating you uh so far.
• 47:19
  Speaker 24: It's been wonderful it's been wonderful uh you know the
• 47:22
  Speaker 24: people of virginia and they're you know from the very
• 47:26
  Speaker 24: different parts of the state the southwest and the southeast
• 47:29
  Speaker 24: and northern virginia and out in the west uh the
• 47:32
  Speaker 24: shenandoah and appalachia area we we've loved it i mean
• 47:35
  Speaker 24: it's been uh It's been tough with all the traveling
• 47:39
  Speaker 24: and we do feel the gas prices. That's really pinching
• 47:42
  Speaker 24: our wallet as well.
• 47:42
  Speaker 8: So we empathize with people.
• 47:45
  Speaker 24: But we're getting a lot of energy just from going
• 47:47
  Speaker 24: out and talking to people. I mean, just over the
• 47:49
  Speaker 24: past few days, we were in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and
• 47:53
  Speaker 24: at the State Fair at Doswell. And, you know, we've
• 47:57
  Speaker 24: got plans to continue traveling. So we're getting a lot
• 48:00
  Speaker 24: of energy from it. And I do sense something in
• 48:03
  Speaker 24: the air. I don't know how to put a finger
• 48:05
  Speaker 24: on it.
• 48:05
  Speaker 8: It's maybe.
• 48:06
  Speaker 24: hard to put an objective metric on it. But like
• 48:09
  Speaker 24: I said, I think we're going to surprise people.
• 48:11
  Speaker 7: Well, and you mentioned the Virginia Beach area. I think
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: that that area is key. When you look at Glenn Youngkin,
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: Winsome Sears, and Jason Meares' victory for the executive branch,
• 48:24
  Speaker 7: that was the key. They picked up percentages all across
• 48:28
  Speaker 7: the Commonwealth, but being able to carry that area of
• 48:33
  Speaker 7: the state that flip-flops from time to time because there's
• 48:36
  Speaker 7: some very, very conservative people down there and a great
• 48:39
  Speaker 7: military community. Is that one of the things you want
• 48:43
  Speaker 7: to target is getting a high turnout, but also really
• 48:47
  Speaker 7: working on some of these areas like Hampton Roads that
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: could go either way?
• 48:54
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Joe, thanks for bringing that up. Number one, I'm
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: from Hampton Roads.
• 48:57
  Speaker 24: I grew up there. I'm from Hampton. My family first
• 48:59
  Speaker 24: moved there in 1966. They settled there after my dad
• 49:03
  Speaker 24: retired in the mid-70s, and my brothers are still down there.
• 49:06
  Speaker 8: And so I've been down there a lot. They know
• 49:08
  Speaker 8: me fairly well, and I know that area well.
• 49:11
  Speaker 24: It's got the highest concentration of operational military anywhere in
• 49:13
  Speaker 24: the nation, by the way.
• 49:15
  Speaker 8: And so we talk about Iran. We talk about the
• 49:17
  Speaker 8: nuclear weapon. I have to remind people.
• 49:20
  Speaker 24: You know, nobody wants Iran to get a nuclear capability,
• 49:23
  Speaker 24: but if they did get it and we didn't really
• 49:25
  Speaker 24: have a strong leader in the White House, Virginia would
• 49:28
  Speaker 24: be very, very high on their target list. Not only
• 49:30
  Speaker 24: Northern Virginia, where we have a lot of our national institutions,
• 49:34
  Speaker 24: both intelligent military, but Hampton Roads, you know, we got
• 49:38
  Speaker 24: the Norfolk Naval Base, the largest one in the world.
• 49:40
  Speaker 24: We've got Langley Air Force Base, which is the four-star
• 49:43
  Speaker 24: command of all of our fighter jets.
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: And our SEAL teams are down there.
• 49:47
  Speaker 24: I can go on and on because there's such a
• 49:49
  Speaker 24: high concentration of our military capabilities.
• 49:53
  Speaker 7: So as a military advisor to President Trump, and I
• 50:00
  Speaker 7: have to ask, with Secretary Hegseth's State of the Force
• 50:07
  Speaker 7: speech and the discussion of both the capabilities of our
• 50:14
  Speaker 7: autonomous force, but just the idea of trying to put
• 50:19
  Speaker 7: together a brain trust to look at what the future
• 50:23
  Speaker 7: of national defense is going to look like. What was
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: your reaction to Secretary Hegseth's State of the Force address
• 50:32
  Speaker 7: earlier this week?
• 50:36
  Speaker 24: Well, I think that Secretary Hexeth, he's been there, what,
• 50:39
  Speaker 24: about a year and a half now, a little bit more.
• 50:42
  Speaker 24: And he kind of came in as a demolition team,
• 50:44
  Speaker 24: you know, if you're going to try to build.
• 50:45
  Speaker 8: A new building.
• 50:47
  Speaker 24: You know, it says he kind of went in there
• 50:49
  Speaker 24: and he had to undo a lot of things that
• 50:51
  Speaker 24: had been building up, not only over the last two
• 50:53
  Speaker 24: Democrat administrations of Biden and Obama, but even farther back.
• 50:58
  Speaker 24: We've kind of lost sight of the fact that the
• 51:00
  Speaker 24: military is there to fight and win our wars. We're
• 51:04
  Speaker 24: also there to deter anybody. from messing with us and,
• 51:07
  Speaker 24: you know, whether we're overseas or at home. And I
• 51:10
  Speaker 24: think we just bloat in our defense function. And so
• 51:15
  Speaker 24: the latest thing is I know he's looking at new
• 51:17
  Speaker 24: innovative ways of going about business.
• 51:19
  Speaker 8: I've been advocating.
• 51:20
  Speaker 24: For a very long time about, you know, starting to
• 51:23
  Speaker 24: shift to unmanned platforms because unmanned platforms cost about three
• 51:27
  Speaker 24: and a half times on average more than manned platforms.
• 51:29
  Speaker 8: When you add in all the safety features.
• 51:31
  Speaker 24: And ergonomics and things like that, If I'm correct, I
• 51:36
  Speaker 24: think he's looking at getting Newt Gingrich on board and
• 51:39
  Speaker 24: some other folks that have some background. What we're seeing
• 51:45
  Speaker 24: right now in Ukraine and both in the Strait of
• 51:47
  Speaker 24: Hormuz is that these unmanned aerial vehicles are carrying a
• 51:53
  Speaker 24: lot of the war right now. They're being very effective.
• 51:56
  Speaker 24: You can build and deploy them so cheaply. It's a very,
• 52:00
  Speaker 24: very asymmetric way for us to fight because You know,
• 52:04
  Speaker 24: one example is we had that downed F-15E in Iran.
• 52:09
  Speaker 8: And when you include the cost of that airplane, it
• 52:12
  Speaker 8: was like $ 100 million.
• 52:14
  Speaker 24: And then the cost of the rescue, it was about
• 52:17
  Speaker 24: $ 500 million that we had to spend in order to
• 52:22
  Speaker 24: extract the pilots. And, you know, what did Iran spend? Well,
• 52:26
  Speaker 24: I mean, these drones, they might cost, you know, maybe
• 52:29
  Speaker 24: only $ 100, 000. So I think the writing is on the wall.
• 52:31
  Speaker 24: We need to really look at how we can going
• 52:33
  Speaker 24: man to air, land, and sea. And I think we
• 52:37
  Speaker 24: just need to look very closely at what's going on
• 52:39
  Speaker 24: right now and learn some lessons from it.
• 52:41
  Speaker 7: Bert Mizuzawa on with us. Morning for Senate from Virginia.
• 52:45
  Speaker 7: What's the expression? The old commercial, rescued American pilot, priceless.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:55
  Speaker 26: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
• 52:58
  Speaker 26: weightlifting champion.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I'm Sam. I'm a veteran.
• 53:02
  Speaker 19: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
• 53:04
  Speaker 19: of and supporting my family.
• 53:06
  Speaker 9: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
• 53:09
  Speaker 9: of their lives.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: I'm a veteran.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: My victory was going from homeless to home.
• 53:14
  Speaker 9: At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get
• 53:17
  Speaker 9: the benefits they've earned.
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: I'm a veteran, and my victory was finishing my education.
• 53:23
  Speaker 9: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support.
• 53:27
  Speaker 7: For victories great and small.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: My victory was proving that disability is not a limitation.
• 53:33
  Speaker 26: My victory was getting my service dog a new best friend.
• 53:36
  Speaker 9: We help more than a million veterans every year as
• 53:38
  Speaker 9: they face and conquer their challenges.
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: My victory is being able to be there for my family.
• 53:43
  Speaker 9: When America's veterans win, we all win. Help us support
• 53:47
  Speaker 9: more victories for veterans.
