"Turnout Yer Dead!" (Monday December 08 2025, Hour 4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: This also has an impact on uh Somalis because we
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: are also taxpayers in Minnesota.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk Media Network.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: It's all natural and free of artificial intelligence.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Your steal me, step me have a day at least
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: for work when the sun comes up, drops a.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: Pet to school.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Joey is everything, a dreamer.
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: All the Joses needs no one that Joe's smile.
• 0:37
  Speaker 6: He only as pleas.
• 0:41
  Speaker 7: Let Joe, thank you for letting me be of service
• 0:44
  Speaker 7: to you this morning. Joe four three four eight eight
• 0:51
  Speaker 7: two four two one seven. That's the important digits. It's multitasker.
• 0:56
  Speaker 7: Once we tell you what went on last night and
• 0:59
  Speaker 7: you know to be, we will give you our analysis
• 1:02
  Speaker 7: of what we find in the evidence pile. But I
• 1:06
  Speaker 7: also want to hear how it's impacting you where you
• 1:08
  Speaker 7: is this morning, and what the impacts of these things are.
• 1:12
  Speaker 7: This one from Jerry, who writes in that grocery prices
• 1:17
  Speaker 7: have stabilized, they haven't gone up too much more from
• 1:20
  Speaker 7: where I've sat before, but they are still too high
• 1:24
  Speaker 7: for us. Well you know, and this goes into I
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: saw that I use here not a flaw but a feature.
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: It's an excuse used in the video game manufacture World
• 1:41
  Speaker 7: I think first quoted here in Virginia for by Bethesda
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: when they said not a flaw, but a feature when
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: stuff was glitchy in a new video game. They're like, no, no,
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: that's a feature. I guess if you say it enough.
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: But this idea that the growth and your housing are
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: too expensive, it's all pushing us to vote in favor
• 2:06
  Speaker 7: of socialism. Look at ilhan Omar, Look at Zefod mad
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: money in New York. Look at these folks who espouse
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: steal from the rich and give to the poor, even
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: though that's not a truism. Robin Hood stole from the
• 2:23
  Speaker 7: government to give back to the taxpayers. But why let
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: reality get the way of some good narrative. Come on,
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: Joe Sales, pitch with us here. But we will eventually
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: be asked to vote for Marxism. We are in little
• 2:45
  Speaker 7: bits and pieces all across the spectrum every day, and
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: it's not just in the people who purport to go
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: after these government offices. Larry's text from Last Hour regarding
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: the farm subsidy we're about to tell you about. In
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: the first things, we're being told that there are haves
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: and have nots and that that's just the way it's
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: going to be. And that's not true. It's not true
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: at all, but we won't allow it to be because
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: it's messy the other way. There will be people who
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: will do well, there will people who will lose it all.
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: But that's what free market capitalism means, is that there
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: is creative destruction. Companies that have been around a long
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: time will fail because the people who operated them forgot
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: what their mission was, and that new companies will come
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: out of the ashes of it. Great example is what
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: was denied happening when Too Big to Fail was passed
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: under George W. Bush and then the complain that we
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: don't have any small car companies making innovative products. Well,
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: you just told one of the biggest ones that despite
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: their failures, they were going to get to keep going
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: as we'll bail them out. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: was on Face the Nation talking about the Feeding our
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: Future controversy, and you know, the victims that she feels
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: like haven't really been talked about.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: In This also has an impact on Somalis because we
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: are also taxpayers in Minnesota. We also could have benefited
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: from the program and the money that was.
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: Stolen by others Somalis she leaves out. Of course, their
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: Department of Justice, even under the Biden administration, said this
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: was the largest COVID nineteen fraud screen scheme in the nation.
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: Of course, that's very spec specified number of titles on
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: the red carpet. Heading into the Kennedy Center Honors last night,
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: President Trump was asked about the possibility of getting peace
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: in between Russia and Ukraine anytime soon, and he said
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: he's a little bit disappointed that, from what he understands
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has not read the text of
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: their latest proposed peace plan. Trump said, Zelenski's top officials
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: quote love it and Russia is fine with it. However,
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: Russia has said not so fast. President Trump is reported
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: to be preparing a twelve billion dollar emergency aid package
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: for US farmers designed to cushion producers of soybean, pork,
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: and other commodities that have been constricted through retaliatory tariffs
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: on other international trading partners. Congress announced Sunday a defense
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: policy bill authorizing nine hundred and one billion dollars in
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: national security spending next year. Billions more than even Donald
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: Trump had requested, and adds four hundred million dollars in
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: military assistance to Ukraine to four percent raise for enlisted troops,
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: but a bipartisan attempt to add housing and greater expanded
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: housing for servicemen and women was left out. The Notre
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: Dame Fighting Irish are taking their football and going home.
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: They said they will not be playing in a postseason
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: bowl game after they were left out of the college
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: football playoff field. Miami was over Notre Dame. So were

• 6:52

• 8:08
  Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and

  Speaker 9: I'm Jack Hannah and it's always a boy. Growing up
• 10:02
  Speaker 9: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:16

• 10:18
  Speaker 9: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:22
  Speaker 9: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
• 10:45

  Speaker 17: Hussy absolutely on a need to know basis, because you
• 13:31
  Speaker 17: need to know.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: The first thing today.
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: Four three four eight eight two four two one seven
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: is how you get to us emails come into JT
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: in the morning radio at gmail dot com. You see,
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: people don't understand why there are so many sports stations around.
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: Number one. Sports is easy. I mean the content is
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: created for you constantly. In the news business, sometimes the
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: content is stuff they don't want you to find out about,
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: like the Henry Quaar stuff or this whole made up
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: story about Glenn Youngkin ousting Christy Nome. At the end
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: of the year, and by the way, we need to
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: we need to spend some more time on that because
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: this is an every president their first year is done.
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: There are usually, if not the first year, the second year,
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: huge changes in the cabinet. So for these people like
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: Bill Krystal to say, well, Christy Nome is on her
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: way out, that may be. It may just be that
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: she's done her run, because lots of people leave, lots
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: of presidents after the first term, and the inference is
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: never especially if they're Democrats. Oh, it's never there. But sports,
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: on the other hand, I mean, there's games everywhere and
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: there's always something to talk. That's why I rail at
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: the idea of sports talk radio because I listened to
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: these folks who are doing sports talk radio and they'll
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: come on there and say, so, who's your favorite mascot
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: of your favorite sports team. Let's take calls, and they'll
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: sit there and they'll give the phone number out for
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: an hour and nobody will call because the topic they've
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: picked nobody cares about. When there's a million things going on.
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: Just lay out all the million things and let them pick.
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: Make it like a buffet line instead of no, this
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: is all we're serving here at this point, because I've
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: noticed they get worse and worse and worse out at
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: picking topics. Now, the gambling sites, the ones that are
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: all sponsored by you know this one, you know bet
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: Kings and one eight hundred slot machine and all the
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: other gambling sites that sponsor this stuff. But a couple
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: of sports related because the controversy and and yes, I
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: love this one. Joe in Oregon says, so who you got, Joe?
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: I understand that your flagship station is there in Harrisonburg,
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: and yet here you are being listened to in Eugene, Oregon.
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: So who you're rooting for? Oregon or JMU? See?
• 16:15
  Speaker 10: I like that.
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: That's fun. It's like you, Joe, I don't know what
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: you do in the Eugene area listening to kf I R.
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: You know, please help it survive. You know, I know
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: that there's been some challenges out there for it, and
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: we we hate to. You know, see a great radio
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: station with a huge signal. You know it says seven twenty.
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know it's been there forever with this
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: you know, huge signal coming out of Corvalis and I
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: you know, certainly you've got your own rivalries in there.
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: I I love the running game jmu has I just
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: feel like this kid Night that runs It's just he
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: just goes crazy every game. He's ripping off some seven
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: yard run and he gets past you. I watched to
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: play in the game against Troy. Every eight guys on
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: the defensive line for Troy had this guy bottled up
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: for maybe a yard maybe two, and and the next
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: thing you know, he's ten yards behind them because everyone
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: had crushed in on the line. They've got him bottle
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: up this and the other thing, and he's gone seventy
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: three yard touchdown run after they had him stop for
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: a two yard maybe he had two yards maximum. This
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: guy's electric. So I mean, that's you're you're in for
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: a treat trying to stop him. Son. Of course, my
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: friend's in you know the Big ten country look a
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: Big ten champion of Oregon. Well you you wanted them
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: in there. But I really like this text message at
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: four three four eight eight two four two one seven
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: on the subject of football, Joe. Isn't this just an
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: example of what Americans do? We want the outcome we want,
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: and if we don't get it, we'll change the rules
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: to get the outcome we want. Isn't this the same
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: thing that the Biden administration was doing to Henry quaar Oh, Frank, Frank, Frank, Frank,
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: so appreciate you texting me and there and for you
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: listening down on the Treasure Coast. But because you give
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: me this wonderful segue into I want what I want,
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: and if I don't get what I want, I'm going
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: to find a way to change the rules to get it.
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: Henry Quaar, Democrat from the San Antonio area, and points
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: to the south everything from San Antonio down to the border.
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: I guess I don't know what his district's going to
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: look like after the redistricting goes through. Discovered the end
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: of last week that he was there was the victim,
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: if you will, of an attempted setup specific who.
• 19:00
  Speaker 18: Tried to bribe you.
• 19:02
  Speaker 19: You mean Biden's DJ tried to bribe.
• 19:04
  Speaker 12: You, Yes, they did. They set up a false a
• 19:09
  Speaker 12: false company, a false account. They took out money.
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: We saw all this.
• 19:14
  Speaker 12: They took out the money. They try to use this money.
• 19:18
  Speaker 12: They talked to my DC staff. My DC staff told them, no,
• 19:22
  Speaker 12: there was nothing there. So the Biden administration they tried to.
• 19:28
  Speaker 17: And trap me and try to bribe me, and that failed.
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: So what do you think your chances are in all
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: of this? What do you what do you think your
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: chances are? If the Department of Justice is trying to
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: send up a sitting congressman from their own party. What
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: do you think your chances are? This becomes the bigger,
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: more essential problem, Frank, is this lack of faith in
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: our systems? And yes, drama sells. Why can't the drama
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: of two football teams trying to win a title suffice
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: as the drama. We have to insert new drama side drama.
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: We need to insert drama that didn't exist of its
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: own accord, because that's what we're doing here. We have
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: to have new drama. We have to. And what was
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: it that Henry Kuahar had done to anger the gods
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: of politics and the Democratic Party? Was it his position
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: that they needed to do more to shut the border down?
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: And what other things have we seen that have been
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: used as fulcrum's to get a decision. Remember Joe Biden
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: himself went to Ukraine and said, I have a basket,
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: I've got a briefcase full of money, and I'm getting
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: on the plane if you don't fire this prosecutor, the
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: one that was investigating Barisma Holdings. By the way, and
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: everyone makes it out to be his son. His son
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: was there to make sure you know that their investment
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: was well watched for, but they needed to make sure
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: the gas was flowing. It was more about the control
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: of the energy. You want a great treatise on this
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: out of pop culture most people unless they've seen the movie,
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: and many people have, and you have no idea what
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: China Town is actually about. It's about control of the
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: water supply. And you see this in the little communities. Oh,
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: we're going to go on sewer system, We're going to
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: go to change the water company. All of these things
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: that have government control involved in them and yet still
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: seem to be there to make for people. Hey, Brandt,
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: and her name is Shary I love.
• 22:05
  Speaker 20: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:07
  Speaker 20: for because of a surgery. She just went through.
• 22:10
  Speaker 18: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:12
  Speaker 18: talk about all the time, which is meda share. That
• 22:15
  Speaker 18: is right.

• 22:18
  Speaker 20: and healthcare ability?
• 22:19
  Speaker 18: Honestly, Brandt, seamless and what a blessing that is when
• 22:22
  Speaker 18: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was.
• 22:25
  Speaker 18: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:28
  Speaker 18: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
• 22:31
  Speaker 18: call in with your need that.
• 22:33
  Speaker 20: Is just refreshing.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: What I keep telling people.
• 22:37
  Speaker 20: People love meda share and they love saving money. The
• 22:40
  Speaker 20: typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
• 22:43
  Speaker 18: I am very thankful for Meta Share. It is so different,
• 22:47
  Speaker 18: and I mean different in a very very good way.

  Speaker 21: Hi.

  Speaker 22: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
• 23:07
  Speaker 22: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
• 23:12
  Speaker 22: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
• 23:16
  Speaker 22: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
• 23:21
  Speaker 22: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
• 23:26
  Speaker 22: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:31
  Speaker 22: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
• 23:35
  Speaker 22: on patients. But as with any new technology, always keep
• 23:41
  Speaker 22: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
• 23:45
  Speaker 22: AI is a powerful tool but not a replacement for
• 23:48
  Speaker 22: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
• 23:54
  Speaker 22: center of our profession. For more information on AI and

  Speaker 6: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 24:51

  Speaker 2: Question First Thing today on the Talk Media Network by
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Joe Thomas.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: Long distance Information. Give me Memphis, Tennessee. Help me find
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: the party trying to get in touch with me. She
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: could not leave a number, but I know please the
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: call the Smikle took the messy January.
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: Matt had a question for us on the subject of Tennessee. Matt,
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: what do you got for ever?
• 28:49
  Speaker 25: Well, I have heard all sorts of commentary on the
• 28:53
  Speaker 25: radio recently about this congressional election that they had in Memphis, and.
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: Well, the Republican won and the Democrat lost by a
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: whole bunch of votes, but out proponed.
• 29:07
  Speaker 25: Well, I mean I keep hearing you know, well, Jaez,
• 29:10
  Speaker 25: when Trump rian in that district, he got twenty two
• 29:13
  Speaker 25: percent of the vote, and this guy only got you know,
• 29:16
  Speaker 25: an eight percent margin, and this and that The one
• 29:19
  Speaker 25: thing I have not heard is what the percentage of
• 29:24
  Speaker 25: turnout was, because this is not just an off year election.
• 29:32
  Speaker 25: This is a completely out of cycle election.
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: Right right following another one.
• 29:39
  Speaker 25: Yeah, and I would be curious to know how many
• 29:44
  Speaker 25: people actually turned out to vote of those who are
• 29:49
  Speaker 25: eligible to vote.
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: Well, i'll tell you what you've put me to task. Then,
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: as a good editing managing editor of our backpage or
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: you know, the Daily Fish Wrapper, I will go and
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: effort that for you. Matt.
• 30:07
  Speaker 25: Okay, I would appreciate that before is it. I think
• 30:10
  Speaker 25: that's a point that needs to be brought out. We're
• 30:13
  Speaker 25: talking about a real odd timing for an election.
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: As Jimmy Olsen would once say to his editor, you want,
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: mister white, so you ask and the research department, with
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: apologies to Eddie and Scottsville, who usually likes to ask, here, Matt,
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: is your answer. Turnout in the Tennessee US House special
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: election down seventy five percent because in most of pointing
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: two across both parties primaries. This from Adam Friedman in
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: the Tennessee Lookout or is it look Out? I don't
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: know something like that, So Friedman rights across both parties primaries,
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: sixty seven thousand votes were cast last month, compared to
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: three hundred and thirty thousand and twenty twenty four. Their
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: turnout of thirty one thousand nearly matched the Republicans of
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: thirty six thousand. But where that's what you're seeing and
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: both parties had it, it's between seventy five and eighty
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: five percent down in the in this special election where
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: Van Epps cruise, I mean eight point victory is an
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: eight point victory. And you know what's interesting, Matt, is
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: you're getting gas lit out of this idea that the
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: fact that it was only an eight point victory was
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: somehow of victory for the Democrat turnout down seventy five
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: percent from even the primaries, which we're down. So it
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: just shows you that this is why this echo chamber,
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: even before AI started playing a role. Now AI has
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: made the echo chamber even more virulent because what happens
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: now is you will have actual stories where the headline
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: has absolutely nothing to do with what's inside the story
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: outside of thematically, it's a question. Often they pose these
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: as questions, is Trump guilty of treason? Question mark? But
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: what AI sees is Trump guilty treason. And so if
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: you ask your search engines, which are all now driven
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: by AI, is Trump guilty of treason? You'll get yes,
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: it appears that Donald Trump is guilty of treason. And
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: that's only you need when you've got turnout down seventy
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: five percent, So you're talking about maybe thirty percent of
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: the voters in that congressional district turned out to vote, well, no,
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: sixty that's you know, tiny. So you're talking about sixty
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: seven thousand people voting compared to three hundred and thirty thousand,
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: and in a congressional district that's in excess of seven
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: hundred thousand people. Even in twenty twenty four, when three
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: hundred and thirty thousand people showed up in this seventh district,
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: that's still less than fifty percent. So of course they
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: just need to play in the margins. If they get
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: you to just just a little bit, one person stays home,
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: two people stay home, you're starting to add up to
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: real money. And it's all about being on those committees.
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: It's all about moving the money to where it once.
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: It's all about the nine hundred billion dollar defense spending
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: bill and four hundred million dollars that are going to
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: get laundered through the Ukraine into back into a defense
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: bill that probably didn't even authorize that much money for
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: defense spending. Because what we'll do is we'll sell our
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: out of data equipment quote out of date made last
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: year or the year before to NATO. NATO will then
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: sell it to Ukraine, and NATO will use that money
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: to buy it from us from our manufacturers. So it's
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: this big kind of hand in glove thing that it does.
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: Is it national defense? There are those and by the way,
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: part of that seventh district, Matt, notably Waynesboro, Tennessee. So
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: let me get to you. Andy is on the phone
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: and Clarksville, so before you take that last ep, so
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: no more Memphis, Tennessee. When we discussed the seventh district
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: in Tennessee, it's the monkeys from here on out. Just
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: make a note of it in the program notes. I
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: don't know if it'll ever come up again. But Andy
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: is on the phone in Florida this morning. Andy, how
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: are you doing today, sir jo.
• 35:17
  Speaker 26: I've set my alarm for four point fifty two this
• 35:20
  Speaker 26: morning to make sure that I didn't miss anything. But
• 35:23
  Speaker 26: I did get a couple of texts from neighbor and
• 35:27
  Speaker 26: a good friend down here.
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: I'm going to start with the Larry Birds like story.
• 35:32
  Speaker 26: He turned sixty nine today, so we should all big
• 35:36
  Speaker 26: do a big shout out to the former basketball great
• 35:41
  Speaker 26: who was the king of the trash talk.
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, it's a white men, and white men might
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: not be able to jump, but they can short mouth
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: off in there.
• 35:51
  Speaker 25: Yeah.
• 35:52
  Speaker 26: Absolutely, And I'm a huge Larry Bird fan. They call
• 35:57
  Speaker 26: me in the auction house around here Larry Bit because
• 36:00
  Speaker 26: I will buy the whole.
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: Auction if I can.
• 36:03
  Speaker 26: A lot of the stuff that comes through this prominent
• 36:06
  Speaker 26: place is so you know, someone for five cents on
• 36:09
  Speaker 26: the dollar, because people either don't know what it is
• 36:13
  Speaker 26: or they're like unloading things of value.
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: They sure, Yeah, I mean it's why auctions are so
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: popular and yard sales and all of that stuff. So
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: why that American Pickers show was such a big hit
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: and that kind of stuff.
• 36:26
  Speaker 26: My other neighbor up the street who did He didn't
• 36:29
  Speaker 26: own the company, but he had fifteen thousand people working
• 36:33
  Speaker 26: internationally making clean room filters, and he was a pretty
• 36:40
  Speaker 26: significant athlete himself. But he has a nephew who I
• 36:44
  Speaker 26: learned at one point is a. It's like a decathlete,
• 36:49
  Speaker 26: but he's like specializing in college or the heptathlete. Okay,
• 36:55
  Speaker 26: And he sent that over to me this morning and
• 36:58
  Speaker 26: told me that takes continues to make these incredible like
• 37:02
  Speaker 26: best of it for like his whole career.
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 37:05
  Speaker 26: But he's an honest, white, hard working kid. He's over
• 37:10
  Speaker 26: at Slippery Rock, which is in the at least in
• 37:15
  Speaker 26: this in the state of Pennsylvania.
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 37:19
  Speaker 26: And so I've been following this kid since he was
• 37:22
  Speaker 26: I think about fourteen, and he's in college now. It's
• 37:25
  Speaker 26: kind of fun to you having built track and field facilities.
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, talk about it. Let me ask you,
• 37:32
  Speaker 7: you know, Andy, you know, because you've built, you've put
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: so much of your time and effort into building these
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: sporting facilities. I want to ask you about that because
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: we're talking, you know, all this consumption, talking about the
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: college football playoffs and all of that. I mean, the
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: I think they're called the Olympic sports. Basically any sport
• 37:51
  Speaker 7: that's not baseball, basketball, or hockey gets lumped into these
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: this category. But what about those sports and their titles?
• 38:02
  Speaker 20: Life can change so abruptly, Just ask Paul. He's a
• 38:06
  Speaker 20: hardworking entrepreneur, he's young, he's got a young family. Suddenly, though,
• 38:10
  Speaker 20: he develops a rare medical condition where he lost the
• 38:13
  Speaker 20: use of both of his arms.
• 38:15
  Speaker 11: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a
• 38:17
  Speaker 11: computer type, couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold
• 38:19
  Speaker 11: my son, who was about a month old.
• 38:21
  Speaker 20: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
• 38:24

• 44:44
  Speaker 7: know about the importance of all these other athletic endeavors,
• 44:48
  Speaker 7: and you know what they mean. This goes into Title
• 44:51

• 44:54
  Speaker 7: you know we're all talking about Oh, it's the NC
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: Double A, it's football it's basketball. But these these non
• 45:03
  Speaker 7: these non revenue sports, I think is what they call them.
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: A lot of kids get a lot of education based
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: on their participation.
• 45:11
  Speaker 26: Andy, Right, Well, what's interesting for me having built these
• 45:16
  Speaker 26: things at facilities and mostly I did build one in
• 45:21
  Speaker 26: large stay football field at the Greenboro Hotel. It had
• 45:26
  Speaker 26: been used, you know, so, I mean just the only
• 45:29
  Speaker 26: one I ever did. But you know it's I was
• 45:33
  Speaker 26: talking to somebody significance in our industry. Oh not lawyer Ago.
• 45:38
  Speaker 26: He said, well, god, that's that's significant. So that's the
• 45:42
  Speaker 26: only one you ever did, and that was yep. And so,
• 45:45
  Speaker 26: but I had access to Olympic quality products.
• 45:49

  Speaker 26: shooting and things like that. And I actually have in
• 46:10
  Speaker 26: my archives. I actually have a nineteen thirty six Olympics.
• 46:16
  Speaker 26: It's like the best of And there was this black
• 46:19
  Speaker 26: kid who turns out to be Jesse Owens turned out
• 46:23
  Speaker 26: a white kid who was a German dude, and how
• 46:26
  Speaker 26: I was like that looked like Andy and Mark. You know,

  Speaker 26: I had a black teammate when we played basketball together,
• 46:34
  Speaker 26: never had a class together at the Catholic school there.

• 46:41
  Speaker 26: tuck the nuns into letting him over and he ended
• 46:44
  Speaker 26: up doing He got a full ride to Missouri and
• 46:47
  Speaker 26: did four years there and had had said something stupid
• 46:52
  Speaker 26: in front of the media and the coach and ended up,
• 46:58
  Speaker 26: you know, not playing at all just because of something
• 47:02
  Speaker 26: that he had said about something that he shouldn't have
• 47:04
  Speaker 26: said about. Well, would it happen in his recruiting visits.
• 47:08

• 47:13
  Speaker 26: history degree from Missouri.
• 47:15
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, and you know that's that's powerting. That's

  Speaker 7: what I mean, though, is these kids get opportunities to
• 47:21
  Speaker 7: go and get a scholarship to a school that might
• 47:25
  Speaker 7: might have been a reach school otherwise.
• 47:28

  Speaker 7: Morning Radio at gmail dot com. Joe, can you go
• 48:03
  Speaker 7: back a ways because I was driving in and I
• 48:05
  Speaker 7: did not get a chance to comment at the moment.
• 48:09
  Speaker 7: But you played Paul Stanley's comments about getting the Kennedy
• 48:13
  Speaker 7: Center Honors for Kiss, and it was struck by something.
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: Always a big Kiss fan. But can you go back
• 48:21
  Speaker 7: and answer a question for me after you play Paul
• 48:24
  Speaker 7: Stanley's comments again? So this was on the red carpet
• 48:30
  Speaker 7: last night, and I only brought it up because having
• 48:34
  Speaker 7: grown up in Queen's and gone to an elementary school
• 48:37
  Speaker 7: just down the road from where he and Jean were
• 48:40
  Speaker 7: substitute teachers for a while while they were getting the
• 48:43
  Speaker 7: band together, you know, and went through grew up in
• 48:46
  Speaker 7: the era of Kiss and the makeup on, the makeup off,
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: the makeup back on again. I thought, Kennedy Center Honors
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: if you had gone back and said that nineteen eighty
• 48:56
  Speaker 7: to me, no.
• 48:58
  Speaker 31: Way honor the idea that my mother fled Germany to
• 49:06
  Speaker 31: avoid the concentration camps with our despare and came to America,
• 49:13
  Speaker 31: saw the Statue of Liberty, saw the American Flag. Had
• 49:16
  Speaker 31: parents who didn't abuse the system, but used the system
• 49:20
  Speaker 31: to help elevate their children to what they didn't have.
• 49:25
  Speaker 31: My father the same.
• 49:27
  Speaker 7: He said, Okay, after you've played the club, I'd like
• 49:30
  Speaker 7: your answer to this. Since they both seemed to Geene
• 49:33
  Speaker 7: Simmons and Paul Stanley, I believe, you know, wave the
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: Jewish aspect of their background. Why in the world was
• 49:40
  Speaker 7: their band logo the SS logo at the mike? I
• 49:48
  Speaker 7: don't know the answer to that, but you know, I
• 49:51
  Speaker 7: see where you were going with that. I appreciate the question.
• 49:55
  Speaker 7: That's why I brought it back up for you as well. Yes,
• 49:59
  Speaker 7: the kiss the kiss logo with the two s's with
• 50:03
  Speaker 7: the SS at the end for some of our group.
• 50:07
  Speaker 7: But you know what, maybe that's why. Maybe it was
• 50:09
  Speaker 7: done with some irony, Maybe it was done to bring
• 50:13
  Speaker 7: a point out and to keep people talking about the SS,
• 50:17
  Speaker 7: or maybe they were just being punks at the time.
• 50:20
  Speaker 7: I mean, they're smart, Alex in their own way. Having
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: met them briefly during one of their tours. I can
• 50:28
  Speaker 7: tell you that they guard their input. If they don't
• 50:34
  Speaker 7: feel like adding to your show, they won't. They'll let
• 50:36
  Speaker 7: the other band members do their talking for you. But
• 50:42
  Speaker 7: you know it's Kennedy Center honor. Is a Kennedy Center
• 50:45
  Speaker 7: honor to it, along with Sylvester Stallone who knew right to.

  Speaker 7: prison camp for the war. This this part and parcel
• 52:24
  Speaker 7: of it. I think is notable both to the fact

  Speaker 7: was the first war we could broadcast back to the troops.
• 52:35
