• 0:01
  Speaker 1: You would set about disrupting the class.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: By attracting attention to yourself.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Media Network by Joe Thomas. Joe works at a steel mill.
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: He's damn near every day.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: That is the name of this job.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:20
  Speaker 5: Drops the kids to school.
• 0:22
  Speaker 6: It's called Dig Me.
• 0:23
  Speaker 7: Joe has everything he dreams of.
• 0:26
  Speaker 8: All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:29
  Speaker 7: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:31
  Speaker 9: He only aims to please you.
• 0:34
  Speaker 10: Let me be your Joe.
• 0:36
  Speaker 11: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:39
  Speaker 11: this morning. I want to be your Joe. 434-882-4217. That
• 0:47
  Speaker 11: is the phone number. It's a multitasker. You can use
• 0:50
  Speaker 11: it both for phone conversations as well as for... text
• 0:57
  Speaker 11: messages because mornings are crazy. I get it. And you're
• 1:01
  Speaker 11: all of a sudden confronted with all those things that
• 1:04
  Speaker 11: you were just sure you had more time to do
• 1:08
  Speaker 11: later on. Well, guess what? Today and now is later on.
• 1:13
  Speaker 11: So get on with that. And while you're doing it,
• 1:15
  Speaker 11: if you want to just hit voice to text and
• 1:18
  Speaker 11: holler something at me, I'll holler back player and give
• 1:23
  Speaker 11: you your do this one coming in on the EPA
• 1:26
  Speaker 11: regulation changes and what it might mean to California. The
• 1:33
  Speaker 11: People's Republic of California will do what it wants, irregardless
• 1:37
  Speaker 11: of the federal government. Do you know they've actually put
• 1:43
  Speaker 11: irregardless in the dictionary now? The problem is the amount
• 1:49
  Speaker 11: of Democrats in that state that will keep those agendas
• 1:53
  Speaker 11: in place. Hopefully, Steve Hilton will get elected governor. But again,
• 1:59
  Speaker 11: you raise the point. Who is going to stand up
• 2:08
  Speaker 11: in the California General Assembly for it, against it? Just
• 2:15
  Speaker 11: like the voting regulations, the more we vote, the more
• 2:19
  Speaker 11: we permit unfettered voting for as long as you want,
• 2:24
  Speaker 11: wherever you want, just holler a name out there and
• 2:28
  Speaker 11: voice to text, we'll vote for you, whatever. The more
• 2:31
  Speaker 11: we make it, quote, easier to vote, the less voting
• 2:35
  Speaker 11: we do, the lower voter turnout is, the more you've
• 2:39
  Speaker 11: had these regulations, and the worse the job economy is,
• 2:43
  Speaker 11: the cleaner, I guess, because more people leave California, so
• 2:46
  Speaker 11: therefore the climate is cleaner then because everyone left looking
• 2:51
  Speaker 11: for work elsewhere. But lifting those regulations on a federal
• 2:58
  Speaker 11: level means people can start generating electricity where they need to,
• 3:05
  Speaker 11: and perhaps even circumvent some Do you have a civil
• 3:09
  Speaker 11: right to electricity? That's one for you. EPA, if you
• 3:13
  Speaker 11: missed the story as we started our first things, is
• 3:16
  Speaker 11: going to repeal carbon pollution standards for coal and gas-fired
• 3:20
  Speaker 11: power plants. Bloomberg News, who's obviously bent out of shape
• 3:24
  Speaker 11: about it, considering how much money the boss has spent
• 3:28
  Speaker 11: on trying to get those things passed, I'm sure will
• 3:31
  Speaker 11: have editorials to come. They're going to make the announcement
• 3:35
  Speaker 11: today at the G20 Energy Summit, in which I was
• 3:39
  Speaker 11: told the CHICOM's energy minister is like, no, we're just struggling,
• 3:44
  Speaker 11: plucky little upstart economy, just trying to make our way.
• 3:49
  Speaker 11: Of course they are, because that's how they get away
• 3:51
  Speaker 11: with it. President Trump said Sunday he will look into
• 3:55
  Speaker 11: requests from families of September 11th victims into the connection
• 4:00
  Speaker 11: that Saudi Arabia's government may have had 25 years ago.
• 4:04
  Speaker 11: 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals. Some of
• 4:10
  Speaker 11: Bin Laden, of course, the son of a wealthy Saudi
• 4:14
  Speaker 11: construction firm family, Bin Laden Construction. And the families have
• 4:20
  Speaker 11: asked the administration to declassify and release the relevant records.
• 4:26
  Speaker 11: I'm going to look at it when I get back,
• 4:28
  Speaker 11: President said, boarding his plane in Ireland, where He had
• 4:33
  Speaker 11: just killed the tariff on Irish whiskey and set off
• 4:38
  Speaker 11: a metaphorical car bomb by announcing that he thinks that
• 4:42
  Speaker 11: Northern Ireland should be released from Great Britain and allowed
• 4:46
  Speaker 11: to reform Ireland as one country, one island. The CEO
• 4:53
  Speaker 11: of Anthropic, Dario Amodai said that he thought the industry
• 5:00
  Speaker 11: needs to reduce the speed of its work and come
• 5:03
  Speaker 11: up with more fail-safes to rein in and make capable
• 5:09
  Speaker 11: AI models aligned with public safety and service. Otherwise, it
• 5:15
  Speaker 11: would take a swarm of AI agents six months to
• 5:19
  Speaker 11: take over the internet. Or we could just move all
• 5:23
  Speaker 11: the data centers to China and China can take over
• 5:26
  Speaker 11: the internet.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: You choose.
• 5:28
  Speaker 11: Late Sunday, U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols decided he wanted
• 5:32
  Speaker 11: to hear the name Carl Nichols mentioned in our newscast
• 5:35
  Speaker 11: and issued a redundant order that from his bench, U.S.
• 5:39
  Speaker 11: Postal Service should not implement President Trump's executive order limiting
• 5:44
  Speaker 11: mail ballots to be sent to states that had not
• 5:48
  Speaker 11: verified their voter rolls. This runs along with the Western District,
• 5:54
  Speaker 11: Eastern District of Massachusetts in Derek Talwani's ruling, which is
• 5:58
  Speaker 11: being considered by the Supreme Court as we speak. And
• 6:03
  Speaker 11: those are some of our first things.
• 6:08
  Speaker 12: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co-host of Foster and Friends
• 6:11
  Speaker 12: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
• 6:14
  Speaker 12: famed lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
• 6:17
  Speaker 12: word win stood for what's important now. The Lunch Pail
• 6:21
  Speaker 12: Defense Foundation realizes the importance of helping others. Our foundation
• 6:25
  Speaker 12: is a nonprofit corporation that helps fund academic scholarship for
• 6:29
  Speaker 12: eligible high school students. Since 2009, the Lunch Pail Defense
• 6:32
  Speaker 12: Foundation has raised nearly $ 400, 000 and awarded over 40 individual scholarships.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: We also support an.
• 6:40
  Speaker 12: Organ transplant program in conjunction with Duke University Medical Center.

• 6:54
  Speaker 12: important to win, especially when we're helping others.

  Speaker 7: school systems and lousy service? StrongTel cuts your phone bills

• 8:04
  Speaker 13: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 13: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 13: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 13: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 13: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 13: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 13: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and
• 8:36
  Speaker 13: inflammation has antioxidant properties and research suggests that curcumin can
• 8:42
  Speaker 13: prevent cancer, or at least slow the spread of cancer,
• 8:46
  Speaker 13: and in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects
• 8:51
  Speaker 13: our healthy cells, even from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help
• 8:56
  Speaker 13: you to look good, feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 14: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 14: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 14: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 14: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:17
  Speaker 14: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 14: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 14: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 14: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 14: personal information like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:38
  Speaker 14: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 14: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 14: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 14: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: but because of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: So please join me and American.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all the
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go to americanhumane.org

• 10:59
  Speaker 15: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 16: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 11: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: And now a speech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 11: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 17: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 15: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:29
  Speaker 18: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 18: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 18: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:40
  Speaker 18: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 18: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 18: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 18: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 18: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 18: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:01
  Speaker 18: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 18: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:08
  Speaker 18: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 18: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 18: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 18: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 9: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 9: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 9: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 9: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:44
  Speaker 9: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:49

  Speaker 11: we're flagship in charlottesville virginia where tso is also playing

  Speaker 11: but i said i don't want to just give tickets
• 16:30
  Speaker 11: to that show our flagship station is doing that um
• 16:36
  Speaker 11: and and i just i have to say this i
• 16:38
  Speaker 11: know i sound like a nervous nelly but the show
• 16:43
  Speaker 11: this show is giving away these tickets Don't call the
• 16:49
  Speaker 11: overworked programmers at your favorite radio station and say, hey,
• 16:54
  Speaker 11: I heard you're giving away tickets. You know, I'm sure,
• 16:58
  Speaker 11: you know, that each one of them loves the fact
• 17:01
  Speaker 11: that we're getting more ears tuning in to them. But,
• 17:05
  Speaker 11: you know, they got a lot on their plates every
• 17:08
  Speaker 11: day and especially the ones in football towns. So this
• 17:14
  Speaker 11: came in. On my complaints about the Manning family. Speaking
• 17:19
  Speaker 11: of football. Joe, what's your issue with the Manning family?
• 17:25
  Speaker 11: I just feel like they're everywhere. And maybe it's jealousy
• 17:28
  Speaker 11: because they're good. I mean, generally speaking, when you think
• 17:33
  Speaker 11: of sports figures, they have a certain milieu. You know,
• 17:39
  Speaker 11: they're a Tony Romo, you know, in terms of being
• 17:42
  Speaker 11: that kind of goofy frat boy. Just saying, man, when
• 17:48
  Speaker 11: I was playing, I got my bell rung. John Riggins,
• 17:51
  Speaker 11: these are those guys where you're paying for the color
• 17:55
  Speaker 11: of their experiences. Don Meredith, for those who are older
• 18:00
  Speaker 11: and remember Dandy Don, they weren't there to give you
• 18:04
  Speaker 11: the X's and O's and coach speak, nor were they
• 18:07
  Speaker 11: there expecting to every five minutes tell you down in distance, score,
• 18:13
  Speaker 11: and all of that. You had professional announcers who were
• 18:17
  Speaker 11: understanding how to make sure you, the listener, enjoyed a game.
• 18:23
  Speaker 11: I guess my problem with the Mannings is that they're
• 18:29
  Speaker 11: good at a lot of things that most of the
• 18:32
  Speaker 11: retired jocks aren't. And it's really Peyton. I know, I know,
• 18:39
  Speaker 11: I know. You're listening to us in Colorado Springs probably
• 18:42
  Speaker 11: thinking you love Love Peyton because he got mad because
• 18:49
  Speaker 11: somebody passed John Elway. Somebody named Kirk Cousins has more
• 18:54
  Speaker 11: touchdown passes than John Elway. How many people are out
• 18:58
  Speaker 11: there saying, can't we put seven back into a jersey
• 19:02
  Speaker 11: for one more snap and get back ahead of Kirk Cousins,
• 19:07
  Speaker 11: of all people, ahead of John Elway on the all-time list?
• 19:13
  Speaker 11: But it's just, they grasp the whole thing, the media persona. Hey,
• 19:22
  Speaker 11: watch our podcast because we're fun. And that's fine. It's
• 19:29
  Speaker 11: just a lot to deal with. How many more of
• 19:32
  Speaker 11: these Mannings are going to come out? It's almost like
• 19:35
  Speaker 11: the Jackson family, and you're waiting for the other shoe
• 19:39
  Speaker 11: to fall. You're like, They can't just all be like this.
• 19:43
  Speaker 11: You know, what was it? Osmonds? I think we had
• 19:51
  Speaker 11: a little expose thing. Didn't Marie do a little behind
• 19:57
  Speaker 11: the scenes? It didn't turn into anything. It wasn't like
• 20:00
  Speaker 11: Lance Armstrong and we discovered deep, dark secrets. But you
• 20:07
  Speaker 11: just sit there and I will be the first to
• 20:11
  Speaker 11: tell you that the American way is put you up
• 20:16
  Speaker 11: on a pedestal so we can tear you down again.
• 20:20
  Speaker 11: Last week, I never got a chance because it came
• 20:23
  Speaker 11: in late in the program. I received, where's that? Where's
• 20:27
  Speaker 11: last week's emails? An email from somebody who was getting
• 20:31
  Speaker 11: on my case about Joe Gibbs and how I always
• 20:35
  Speaker 11: pick on Michael Jordan in terms of Michael Jordan, he's
• 20:42
  Speaker 11: got a partner in Denny Hamlin who knows the racing stuff.
• 20:49
  Speaker 11: And maybe Michael Jordan has gotten to that point. Does
• 20:53
  Speaker 11: he still own the Charlotte Hornets? I don't think he
• 20:55
  Speaker 11: still owns the Charlotte Hornets. But he's found a place
• 21:01
  Speaker 11: where because he doesn't know anything about it, except for
• 21:05
  Speaker 11: the fact that it's popular and and people enjoy it,
• 21:08
  Speaker 11: and it is a team that people don't realize is
• 21:11
  Speaker 11: a team sport, that maybe because Mike doesn't know anything
• 21:15
  Speaker 11: about NASCAR makes him a good team owner. They've had success.
• 21:20
  Speaker 11: They've hired good people and let them do their things,
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: unlike basketball where Mike, as a head coach, was just like,
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: why don't you just do what I did? Why don't
• 21:28
  Speaker 11: you steal the ball and run down and take off
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: from the foul line and windmill dunk on somebody, posterize them?
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: Because I can't.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: It's easy.
• 21:39
  Speaker 11: Let me show you. So, yes, I will give credit
• 21:44
  Speaker 11: where credit's due. You know, Denny Hamlin, Michael Jordan doing well.
• 21:47
  Speaker 11: But I'm just saying Coach Gibbs in winning Super Bowls
• 21:51
  Speaker 11: and NASCAR championships has shown leadership in that way. And
• 21:56
  Speaker 11: I guess begrudgingly, you know, Peyton Manning especially have to
• 21:59
  Speaker 11: give him some credit where.
• 22:01
  Speaker 19: Hey, I'm Brant, and her name is Sherry.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 22:04
  Speaker 19: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 19: for because of a surgery she just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 20: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  Speaker 20: talk about all the time, which is?
• 22:13
  Speaker 19: MediShare.
• 22:14
  Speaker 20: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:15
  Speaker 19: So what was your experience like with MediShare and the
• 22:17
  Speaker 19: health care bills?
• 22:18
  Speaker 20: Honestly, Brant, seamless. And what a blessing that is. When
• 22:21
  Speaker 20: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
• 22:24
  Speaker 20: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 20: me tell you, Having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 20: call in with your need, that is just.
• 22:33
  Speaker 16: It is refreshing.
• 22:33
  Speaker 20: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 19: What I keep telling people, people love MediShare, and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 19: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 20: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different,
• 22:46
  Speaker 20: and I mean different in a very, very good way.
• 22:48
  Speaker 11: It is good different. Call now.

  Speaker 21: Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Artificial
• 23:07
  Speaker 21: intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver better
• 23:11
  Speaker 21: care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that speed up diagnoses
• 23:17
  Speaker 21: to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports veterinary teams
• 23:21
  Speaker 21: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,
• 23:27
  Speaker 21: predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease, and even streamline
• 23:32
  Speaker 21: record keeping so veterinarians can focus more on patients. But
• 23:37
  Speaker 21: as with any new technology, always keep a human in
• 23:40
  Speaker 21: the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare. AI is
• 23:45
  Speaker 21: a powerful tool, but not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion,
• 23:51
  Speaker 21: and judgment. which remains at the center of our profession.

  Speaker 13: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 13: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 13: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, Our
• 24:18
  Speaker 13: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  Speaker 13: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  Speaker 13: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 13: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 13: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent
• 24:42
  Speaker 13: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer. and
• 24:45
  Speaker 13: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

  Speaker 3: Here is the sound of thousands of sad questions.
• 28:15
  Speaker 24: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the.
• 28:18
  Speaker 13: Talk Media Network.
• 28:19
  Speaker 10: The shaking from his Cadillac.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: He went cruising down the river.
• 28:24
  Speaker 24: The boys and boys are standing.
• 28:26
  Speaker 10: On the baby and the grill. It shall be the.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Night.
• 28:37
  Speaker 11: So problems in Saudi Arabia. President Trump says that he
• 28:43
  Speaker 11: is going to look into releasing. Hold it. Tell you.
• 28:48
  Speaker 11: Tell me if you haven't felt this deja vu before.
• 28:51
  Speaker 11: He's got a list somewhere of all the people who
• 28:55
  Speaker 11: are on the Saudi jet to. No, not on the south,
• 28:58
  Speaker 11: not on the jet, but. I made the crack earlier
• 29:04
  Speaker 11: to some chagrin from you. Really? You had to drag
• 29:08
  Speaker 11: Pam Bondi into this? You said that President Trump, as
• 29:13
  Speaker 11: he was announcing that when he got back from Ireland,
• 29:16
  Speaker 11: he would look into releasing any information the government had
• 29:20
  Speaker 11: on Saudi Arabia's involvement or connection to September 11th and
• 29:26
  Speaker 11: the 25th anniversary of the terror attacks. I happen to
• 29:31
  Speaker 11: feel the urge. to say, and somewhere Pam Bondi, for
• 29:35
  Speaker 11: no particular reason, said, I've got it right here on
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: my desk. Tongue out of cheek, though, we know a
• 29:44
  Speaker 11: lot of the Saudi involvement because, again, lost in history,
• 29:52
  Speaker 11: down the Mandela effect. This begins in Operation Desert Storm,
• 30:03
  Speaker 11: when Iraq invaded Kuwait because they had the temerity to
• 30:11
  Speaker 11: ask for their money back. So you can see Kuwait
• 30:16
  Speaker 11: had lent a whole bunch of money to Iraq so
• 30:21
  Speaker 11: that they could conduct operations against Iran. Because it was expensive,
• 30:29
  Speaker 11: because the Americans were not just giving them F-16s and
• 30:33
  Speaker 11: missile launchers. So Saddam Hussein got a letter from the
• 30:40
  Speaker 11: Kuwaiti bank saying, hey, when can we expect the first
• 30:44
  Speaker 11: payments on this loan we gave you for all this
• 30:48
  Speaker 11: war activity? And Saddam Hussein responded something akin to, hey,
• 30:58
  Speaker 11: I'll send some of my boys down tomorrow with your
• 31:02
  Speaker 11: first installment. And committed truly one of the world's grandest
• 31:08
  Speaker 11: bank robberies. They sent a bunch of conscripts in to
• 31:13
  Speaker 11: guard the corners while the Republican Guard emptied out the
• 31:19
  Speaker 11: bank accounts of everybody in Kuwait. took all their money
• 31:25
  Speaker 11: and left when the Americans and the allied forces arrived.
• 31:30
  Speaker 11: So the leadership hightailed it back across the Iraqi border,
• 31:36
  Speaker 11: leaving conscripts there to say, oh, Maz, I surrender. So
• 31:40
  Speaker 11: he thought it was great. And he's like, oh, these Iraqis,
• 31:43
  Speaker 11: they just surrender as soon as you show up. Storm
• 31:46
  Speaker 11: and Norman arrived and they all surrendered because they were
• 31:50
  Speaker 11: political prisoners who had been told to stand there with
• 31:53
  Speaker 11: a rifle. We learned that later after we tried to
• 31:59
  Speaker 11: invade Iraq and ran into the real army. So this
• 32:05
  Speaker 11: bank robbery takes place in Kuwait and President Herbert Walker Bush,
• 32:11
  Speaker 11: George Herbert Walker Bush, gets together a coalition of countries
• 32:16
  Speaker 11: from around the world. It was like Independence Day, you
• 32:22
  Speaker 11: had Israeli and Arab pilots flying in the same sorties.
• 32:29
  Speaker 11: And therein lies the problem. See, the airstrip that all
• 32:34
  Speaker 11: of those flights were taking off from was in Saudi Arabia.
• 32:39
  Speaker 11: And there were only really two companies on the planet
• 32:43
  Speaker 11: you could call on to build something as big as
• 32:46
  Speaker 11: an airfield. One was named Halliburton, and for obvious reasons,
• 32:52
  Speaker 11: the Bush administration didn't want to call on them. A
• 32:57
  Speaker 11: lot of questions. Dick Cheney hanging around saying, how Halliburton
• 33:03
  Speaker 11: can build that? So they asked the Saudi company, Bin
• 33:12
  Speaker 11: Laden Construction, to build the airstrip. There's a young fellow
• 33:18
  Speaker 11: from Not necessarily, you know, the Peyton Manning of the
• 33:24
  Speaker 11: Bin Laden clan. More like the Cooper Manning. So, get
• 33:33
  Speaker 11: all the attention. So, this young fellow, Osama Bin Laden,
• 33:38
  Speaker 11: was told by his dad to go oversee some of
• 33:42
  Speaker 11: the project. And that included, you know, watching Israeli pilots.
• 33:47
  Speaker 22: Wow.
• 33:48
  Speaker 11: Israeli pilots on Saudi soil. EGADS. And this set him
• 33:56
  Speaker 11: off badly. And he decided that America and Saudi Arabia
• 34:01
  Speaker 11: and everyone who was complicit in this offense as to
• 34:05
  Speaker 11: have the holiest of holy infidels on Saudi sanctified soil.
• 34:17
  Speaker 11: And that's how you get to the bombing of the
• 34:23
  Speaker 11: World Trade Center in 1994. That's how you get to
• 34:29
  Speaker 11: the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. So is the
• 34:38
  Speaker 11: Saudi government responsible? The story is that somewhere, George W. Bush,
• 34:46
  Speaker 11: the son of the previous George H. W. Bush, called
• 34:50
  Speaker 11: the patriarch of the bin Laden family to tell them
• 34:55
  Speaker 11: something had happened with all these Saudi nationals and you
• 34:58
  Speaker 11: better get the rest of the Saudi royal family out
• 35:01
  Speaker 11: of the country. So we're kind of pissed. So what
• 35:09
  Speaker 11: will you find? And what's the over-under? Will you know
• 35:13
  Speaker 11: definitively Jeffrey Epstein was doing with all of those high-ranking
• 35:20
  Speaker 11: officials indulging themselves in some human trafficking on Epstein's island?
• 35:27
  Speaker 11: Or will you know what the Saudis had in terms
• 35:30
  Speaker 11: of either knowledge or involvement into September 11th? Do you
• 35:38
  Speaker 11: think you're going to find a piece of paper that
• 35:40
  Speaker 11: says the Saudi Intelligence Committee Yet we keep looking the
• 35:50
  Speaker 11: other way to cough every time Turkey violates more of
• 35:54
  Speaker 11: its citizens' human rights. There are allies, too. Oh, I know.
• 35:59
  Speaker 11: They're in NATO. They're special allies. Saudi Arabia is facing
• 36:07
  Speaker 11: a huge demographic problem because they are getting young and poor.
• 36:19
  Speaker 11: keeping in mind that this is a kingdom, not a
• 36:23
  Speaker 11: constitutional republic. This research done by Anton Ibal, demographics research,
• 36:39
  Speaker 11: the kingdom has a young population that is growing quickly.
• 36:42
  Speaker 11: Many graduates still lack the skills that private companies require
• 36:47
  Speaker 11: despite improvements in education. Public sector employment is more attractive
• 36:54
  Speaker 11: and currently dominates the economy. Working for the royal family,
• 37:02
  Speaker 11: I guess, is the better gig than working for a
• 37:05
  Speaker 11: startup that isn't starting up. That's going to be the
• 37:12
  Speaker 11: fruit of their Arab autumn. It was the fruit of
• 37:18
  Speaker 11: Egypt's Arab spring. where the Islamists killed other Muslims so
• 37:26
  Speaker 11: that they could take over. Because like they did on
• 37:33
  Speaker 11: September 11th, and as I said, this is the new
• 37:43
  Speaker 11: normal of, I don't like you, I disagree with you,
• 37:48
  Speaker 11: so I'm going to assassinate you. And for the squeamish
• 37:52
  Speaker 11: among us, they engage in character assassination, not physical assassination.
• 38:01
  Speaker 19: Life can change so fast. Abruptly, just ask Paul. He's
• 38:05
  Speaker 19: a hardworking entrepreneur.
• 38:07
  Speaker 11: He's young.
• 38:07
  Speaker 19: He's got a young family. Suddenly, though, he develops a
• 38:10
  Speaker 19: rare medical condition where he lost the use of both
• 38:13
  Speaker 19: of his arms.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: couldn't type, couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: my son, who was about a month old.
• 38:20
  Speaker 19: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
• 38:23
  Speaker 19: but they're so thankful that they're members of MediShare.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does MediShare
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: really work? I'm living proof that it works. My four
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: have been healed, are living proof that MediShare works. Just
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: are going to be taken care of when we have
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: some type of medical problem, that is such a huge
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: blessing to us.

  Speaker 2: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them, nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 8: Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: favorite form of ear candy.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, my.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 9: Shh. Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: And with every item you buy, you fund local job.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Training and more.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: So go forth. Bring home those donut earrings and bring
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: home so much good to your community.
• 40:54
  Speaker 11: Goodwill.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Bring good home.
• 40:58
  Speaker 17: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 17: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 17: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 17: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 17: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:22
  Speaker 17: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 17: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  Speaker 17: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:33
  Speaker 17: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 17: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Eat better.

  Speaker 25: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,

  Speaker 11: For now, we're in the wilderness, and I'm glad we
• 45:25
  Speaker 11: had our Jim Wood chat to get in on our
• 45:29
  Speaker 11: local station, but I know that folks who are listening
• 45:33
  Speaker 11: on the network, we were off the bird for a
• 45:35
  Speaker 11: little while, so we'll get everybody in here before we
• 45:37
  Speaker 11: have to go. Kareem, good morning, sir. How are you doing?
• 45:43
  Speaker 11: I'm doing fine. Well, you know, we... Traffic was pretty bad.
• 45:49
  Speaker 11: I don't know if you were in northern Virginia, but
• 45:51
  Speaker 11: it was pretty bad existentially on this day 25 years ago.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 45:58
  Speaker 16: I remember hearing about the NSA being a traffic jam
• 46:03
  Speaker 16: as they were told to evacuate on that day. It's
• 46:08
  Speaker 16: funny the orders that go out on that day or
• 46:11
  Speaker 16: that went out.
• 46:11
  Speaker 11: Well, we didn't know where any more planes were. I mean,
• 46:15
  Speaker 11: that was part of the problem was We were trying
• 46:17
  Speaker 11: to get airplanes that were still two or three, even
• 46:20
  Speaker 11: after Flight 93 had crashed here in Shanksville, where we are,
• 46:24
  Speaker 11: that would take hours for us to finally get everyone
• 46:29
  Speaker 11: on the ground.
• 46:30
  Speaker 16: 4,000 flights a day, Joe. That is a lot to control.
• 46:35
  Speaker 11: Our Monday morning back to it. I mentioned this on Saturday.
• 46:39
  Speaker 11: We ran into some neat folks, and I wanted to
• 46:42
  Speaker 11: give them a little run for you guys today. as
• 46:45
  Speaker 11: well as some folks who were running a neat operation
• 46:51
  Speaker 11: just as we were leaving the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville.
• 46:57
  Speaker 11: And we pull out onto the highway, and there's a
• 46:58
  Speaker 11: big green sign saying 9-11 Heroes Memorial. And we pulled
• 47:05
  Speaker 11: in there and confronted with 7,000 flags. Joe Thomas here at.
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: The Flight 93 Memorial, within the footprint of it, I'm
• 47:15
  Speaker 6: going to say it that way, because as Flight 93
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: came crashing down 25 years ago, I'm not sure what
• 47:21
  Speaker 6: was here.
• 47:22
  Speaker 11: I imagine it was trees and a forest. We're in
• 47:26
  Speaker 11: Patriot Park, which is across the road from the Flight
• 47:30
  Speaker 11: 93 National Park Service Memorial. We were driving out, and
• 47:35
  Speaker 11: I just saw a sign that said 7,000 flags, and
• 47:38
  Speaker 11: my wife loves a flag display, as do I. So
• 47:41
  Speaker 11: we pulled in. Randy Musser is, I'm told, the brains
• 47:45
  Speaker 11: behind it. Now, that's usually what somebody says to make
• 47:48
  Speaker 11: somebody blush. But, Randy, thank you for taking a minute
• 47:51
  Speaker 11: with us here this very somber 25th anniversary. Tell us
• 47:56
  Speaker 11: about the park.
• 47:57
  Speaker 6: Well, the park, as you said, we thought about how
• 48:01
  Speaker 6: we could use this land to honor our veterans and
• 48:04
  Speaker 6: those who have fought the global war on terrorism. And
• 48:07
  Speaker 6: I had an idea, but it took a whole bunch
• 48:10
  Speaker 6: of help and people and donors and volunteers to bring
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: everything to fruition. We could not do it without all
• 48:17
  Speaker 6: of that help.
• 48:19
  Speaker 11: So you had an idea to do this, and it
• 48:22
  Speaker 11: seems like it picks up with the global war on terror.
• 48:25
  Speaker 11: That's about 2002. President Bush says we're going to go
• 48:28
  Speaker 11: find the state sponsors of terrorism, and it continues. Your
• 48:33
  Speaker 11: wife just told me before we started talking that there
• 48:35
  Speaker 11: are new flags just added for Epic Fury and those
• 48:38
  Speaker 11: who have lost their lives there. How many total flags
• 48:42
  Speaker 11: are here, Randy?
• 48:43
  Speaker 6: We have 7,091 flags. That's the total number of U.S.
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: service members who have died since the events of 9-11.
• 48:52
  Speaker 11: It's a stunning field.
• 48:53
  Speaker 6: I wish this was television because I'd love to show
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: you what it looks like.
• 48:59
  Speaker 11: How long did it take to start to build this out?
• 49:04
  Speaker 6: Did you get immediate local support from Somerset County and
• 49:08
  Speaker 6: folks like that? Yes, once we came up with the
• 49:11
  Speaker 6: concept and said, okay, let's get something going for the
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: 20th anniversary. So this is now our fifth year, but it...
• 49:20
  Speaker 6: you know, you wondered if you could draw the support
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: you needed. And it was a $ 50, 000, $ 60, 000 effort just
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: to get it opened up, get roads built and everything.
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: And that just, I mean, materialized out of thin air.
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: I mean, just the donors that just supported us.
• 49:34
  Speaker 16: All those years later.
• 49:35
  Speaker 11: Yes, yes.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: So.
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: You know, there's a need for us to honor the
• 49:41
  Speaker 6: men and women who keep us safe and free, the
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: members of our armed forces.
• 49:46
  Speaker 11: So there is a drop box at the entrance. If
• 49:49
  Speaker 11: you come to Somerset, you come to the Flight 93 Memorial,
• 49:53
  Speaker 11: which you should, come and visit this park because it
• 49:56
  Speaker 11: is absolutely as stunning as what's done at the crash site.
• 50:03
  Speaker 11: This is a reminder of what came after to me that,
• 50:07
  Speaker 11: As you said, or maybe it was your wife, it
• 50:11
  Speaker 11: began with the 40 passengers on Flight 93. They were
• 50:15
  Speaker 11: the first combatants to take up arms against terror.
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: And the 7,091 flags since there, and still going, Randy.
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: How do people support you? It's a 501c3, right? Yes,
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: we're a 501c3. We have a website, patriotparkfoundation.org. We currently
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: are raising funds for our Phase 2, which will be
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: a set of memorial walls, which will have the names
• 50:41
  Speaker 6: of all the 7,091 and room for additional if we need,
• 50:46
  Speaker 6: which we hope we won't. But it'll have their name
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: and their age at the time of death.
• 50:51
  Speaker 11: For the listeners of my flagship station in Charlottesville, this
• 50:55
  Speaker 11: is very reminiscent of the— we' re home to the world's oldest—
• 51:00
  Speaker 11: municipal Vietnam Memorial, the Dogwood Vietnam Memorial. And I know
• 51:05
  Speaker 11: the volunteers that do quite a bit of work to
• 51:07
  Speaker 11: make sure each plaque of every service member from the
• 51:10
  Speaker 11: area that lost their lives in the Vietnam conflicts are
• 51:15
  Speaker 11: memorialized there. This is very similar to the feeling I get.
• 51:20
  Speaker 11: There are storyboards all around here, Randy.
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: So when people come, it's not just a field full
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: of flags.
• 51:27
  Speaker 11: There are stories.
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: There's all sorts of folks and volunteers to talk to. Yes,
• 51:31
  Speaker 6: we have, you know, the flag display. But to complement that,
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: we have a couple books that have all the names
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: of the fallen. So if you know someone, you can
• 51:40
  Speaker 6: look that name up and take a picture and share
• 51:43
  Speaker 6: that with their loved ones. We have a place to
• 51:45
  Speaker 6: let comments and We have numerous storyboards. This is about
• 51:49
  Speaker 6: more than just local folks. This is about everyone who
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: served throughout the whole country. And we've just added a
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: new interactive kiosk. So if you come from out of
• 51:59
  Speaker 6: state and you want to look up the fallen from
• 52:02
  Speaker 6: your locale, you can put in your state and you
• 52:05
  Speaker 6: can put in your county or city and all of
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: the fallen from that area.
• 52:10
  Speaker 11: So Randy spent a good deal of time with us.
• 52:13
  Speaker 11: It's a beautiful, if you check out our Social media page,
• 52:17
  Speaker 11: Seville Joe Thomas. You can see pictures of this field
• 52:24
  Speaker 11: and the sculptures within it and all the work they've
• 52:26
  Speaker 11: done on this. It's right across the street from the
• 52:29
  Speaker 11: Flight 93 Memorial, and it's worth a second stop if
• 52:33
  Speaker 11: you're visiting Shanksville, Pennsylvania. So I appreciate Randy and all
• 52:38
  Speaker 11: his folks. PatriotParkFoundation.org is where you visit them if you
• 52:42
  Speaker 11: want to help. For me, we'll fire it up again
• 52:45
  Speaker 11: tomorrow morning at five. Until then, Joe Thomas, so long
• 52:48
  Speaker 11: and thanks for all the fish.
• 52:51
  Speaker 8: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:55
  Speaker 8: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 10: It was MediShare that came through for us and there
• 53:00
  Speaker 10: was no hassles.
• 53:01
  Speaker 18: There was no problem.
• 53:02
  Speaker 8: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:05
  Speaker 8: of such an incredible ministry.
• 53:07
  Speaker 24: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
• 53:11
  Speaker 24: share each other's medical expenses.
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 53:20
  Speaker 24: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old.
• 53:25
  Speaker 24: And members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
• 53:27
  Speaker 24: medical bills.
• 53:28
  Speaker 17: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: You can focus on supporting other people.
• 53:33
  Speaker 11: MediShare is affordable.
• 53:35
  Speaker 13: MediShare is biblical.
• 53:36
  Speaker 15: MediShare is family.
