- 0:08appy Joe Thomas.
- 0:09Speaker 2: We'll do it long, Jewart said, steal me have a
- 0:14day at least for work.
- 0:16Speaker 3: When the sun comes up, drops a pet to scoom.
- 0:21Speaker 4: Joe has everything a jam, all the.
- 0:23Speaker 3: Treasure setday needs no one that Joe zellis smiled.
- 0:28Speaker 5: He only as let me be.
- 0:33Speaker 4: Jaf mister Thomas, there's an attorney on the phone. I
- 0:37want to be Jorks for Bill O'Reilly. Hey, you every
- 0:42letting us beg you had the idea that we're here
- 0:44live for you on a Saturday morning. Because so much
- 0:47of weekend programming, trust me, I've spent twenty five years
- 0:52programming radio stations, and so much of the weekend programming
- 0:57is not performative. I mean, and it's in the best
- 1:04cases somebody who's got some time and they do something
- 1:07live to tape. I'm fine with that because then the
- 1:10conversation is live and it's as it's happening. But there's
- 1:13so much as the expression goes sneaking sally down the alley,
- 1:19there's so much news that happens on a Friday afternoon
- 1:24after the papers go to Betty and even the blogs,
- 1:27because your life is still even for those of us
- 1:31who work on Saturdays and some of those Sundays, it's
- 1:36a little different. It's still a little different. You ruminate
- 1:39over a cup of First Free in the morning coffee,
- 1:43which I hope you're ruminating over. It's awesome and it's
- 1:46roasted to the flavor specifications of yours truly, I mean,
- 1:52gets smooth. It's like the kids said in Airplanes likes
- 1:57her coffee black, you can drink. Well, it's not all
- 2:01of what she said, but we'll leave that to those
- 2:03who want to go watch Airplane this evening Netflix. But
- 2:09since they didn't pay for that plug, I'm gonna move
- 2:11on from there. The expression the kids like to use
- 2:15these days is poor kue nolos dos. They say this
- 2:19mostly to be able to communicate with the neighbors that
- 2:23the left loves to talk about. You're taking your neighbors away,
- 2:28But it translates loosely to why can't both why can't
- 2:36you understand? And this is the thing we live in,
- 2:38this binary world, this maddening world where if you question
- 2:43how we're governing vaccines, then you must be anti vacs,
- 2:50or you could just understand that vaccines is a concept
- 2:54or a good thing. Turning them over to an insurance
- 2:57company as a way to deny care is a whole
- 3:00other one. Anyway, we'll get into that with you. Plus,
- 3:05Donald Trump made a huge cocaine bus. We'll tell you
- 3:08about it here in our First Things. I brace myself
- 3:13for what the Left's reaction will be to the Coastguard's ray.
- 3:17They seized an unprecedented forty thousand pounds of cocaine in
- 3:23the Eastern Pacific in a operation called Operation Pacific Viper.
- 3:30They even posted pictures crew members sending over a burning
- 3:34vessel rather than let it be boarded. Austin City officials
- 3:39have unveiled the city's cracker barrel esque logo redefinition as
- 3:44part of one point one million dollar rebranding project. Hey,
- 3:48the City of Austin doesn't have like a chat GPT thing.
- 3:52Could they have gone? Couldn't they have gone to fiver
- 3:55and done this for a lot less considering Austinton's city
- 4:01new logo is just a block letter and it believe,
- 4:04I believe it is one of the more common fonts
- 4:08letter A on a green background. There are three active
- 4:14cases of tuberculosis reported in Maine. The Centers for Disease
- 4:20Control and Prevention reported Tennessee has joined a coalition of
- 4:26twenty five states to file an Amika's prief with the
- 4:29US Supreme Court, urging it to strike down the State
- 4:32of Massachusetts unconstitutional firearm licensing requirements for non residents Tennessee
- 4:39and Second Amendment rights don't disappear when they visit Massachusetts.
- 4:43Attorney General Jonathan Scrimetti said in a statement. A Michigan
- 4:49woman has been indicted for her role in an international
- 4:53alien smuggling conspiracy which brought non citizens, including children from
- 4:58Central America, into the U the United States across the
- 5:03northern border. Grand jury charged Norma Linda Lozano of Ipsilani, Michigan,
- 5:10with one count of conspiracy to smuggle aliens and six
- 5:14counts of bringing aliens into the United States. With soft
- 5:19jobs data coming out Friday, President Trump took to social
- 5:23media to criticize too late Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell,
- 5:29saying he should have lowered rates long ago. As usual,
- 5:33he's too late. He also has floated the idea of
- 5:39who the next Federal Reserve chair might be says the
- 5:42nominees are down to three people, Kevin Hasset, Kevin Warsh
- 5:46or Christopher Waller. Do you mind if we call you Bruce,
- 5:50just to keep it clear. And HHS Secretary Robert F.
- 5:54Kennedy's apparently going to say tail and all is connected
- 5:59to the at event of the autism outbreaks in America.
- 6:03According to The Washington Post.
- 6:08Speaker 6: Hi this is Bud Foster, co host of Foster and
- 6:10Friends and former Virginia Tech football coach.
- 6:13Speaker 7: When I brought the.
- 6:14Speaker 6: Fame lunch fail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
- 6:17word win stood for what's important. Now, the Lunch Pail
- 6:21Defense Foundation realizes the importance of helping others. Our foundation
- 6:25is a nonprofit corporation that helps fund academic scholarship for
- 6:29eligible high school students. Since two thousand and nine, the
- 6:31Lunch Pail Defense Foundation is raised nearly four hundred thousand
- 6:35dollars and awarded over forty individual scholarships. We also support

- 6:53It's always been important to win, especially when we're helping others.
- 7:02Speaker 5: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas. Yes,
- 7:07actually three known gas is I I'm doctor Mitch, and
- 7:12nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
- 7:16long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood
- 7:20vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
- 7:27and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 7:31and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 7:35precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 7:38energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 7:41your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric oxide

- 8:06one of the few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products
- 8:11on the market. I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic
- 8:15diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems to be a
- 8:20perfect addition to any nutritional program. It makes sense to
- 8:25me that preventing or reducing inflammation is a key component
- 8:30to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin
- 8:34can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties, and research
- 8:40suggests that kurcumin can prevent cancer or at least slow
- 8:44the spread of cancer, and in many instances, make chemotherapy
- 8:48more effective. It protects our healthy cells even from radiation.

- 9:02Speaker 8: I'm Andrew Saul, Commission of Self Security. I'm here to
- 9:05warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 9:10Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
- 9:13will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
- 9:16personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 9:21are not from US. Real Social Security employees will never
- 9:25threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 9:29call like this, hang up. Never give the call of
- 9:33your personal information like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 9:37or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire
- 9:41transfers of prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our
- 9:46law enforcement on the Office of the Inspector General at
- 9:50OIG dot SSA dot gov. Share this information with your
- 9:55friends and family.
- 9:58Speaker 9: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah and it's always a boy.
- 10:01Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
- 10:03with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
- 10:05and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
- 10:08at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
- 10:11Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
- 10:14or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
- 10:17secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
- 10:20jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
- 10:22in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
- 10:25by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
- 10:28wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 10:32they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
- 10:35us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
- 10:37whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
- 10:41when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
- 10:43have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to
- 10:46society and help those in need. So please join me
- 10:49an American Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and
- 10:52all the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together.
- 10:55Go to American Humane dot org to learn more.
- 11:00Speaker 10: That's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 4: Oh yeah yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:05Speaker 7: And now a speech.
- 11:06Speaker 11: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 11:10art and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 4: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 11: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed.
- 11:15Speaker 4: And my brain is saying when it's time to go home.
- 11:18Speaker 7: Somebody call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 12: Love that guy, me too, know your buzzed warning signs,
- 11:23call for a ride when it's time.
- 11:24Speaker 4: To go home.
- 11:24Speaker 12: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:26Speaker 13: Who did you know that more than half our household
- 11:31energy costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't
- 11:35just good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
- 11:39One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 11:46learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
- 11:49That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
- 11:52leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
- 11:56improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
- 12:00when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
- 12:02energy Star logo and read the energy Guide label, and
- 12:06there are day to day things you can do. Lower
- 12:09your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
- 12:12close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
- 12:15air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by

- 12:29Speaker 14: As a family member or friend, you may be the
- 12:32first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
- 12:40anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
- 12:43but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
- 12:48at makethconnection dot net and learn how you can support
- 12:52the veterans.
- 12:53Speaker 9: In your life.
- 12:54Speaker 14: Treatment works, recovery is possible.
- 13:12Speaker 3: What do you think about being both problem?
- 13:14Speaker 1: I said Qupito that where we have to let it go.
- 13:18I'm gonna need to know basis because you need to
- 13:21know the first thing today.
- 13:23Speaker 15: As long as you got air, you're on the air.
- 13:37Speaker 4: What is that? What that red light means?
- 13:41Speaker 16: What's on your mind?
- 13:42Speaker 4: Four three, four, eight eight two four two one seven.
- 13:46That is our multitasking hotline. You can text message or
- 13:49you can call in and tell us how the news
- 13:52of the day is impacting you where you are, because
- 13:55unfortunately all the man on the street stuff done by
- 13:58the newsrooms is done with the intent of telling a
- 14:02narrative that they tell you know. I was I was
- 14:06looking at this story from the Coast Guard since healthcare,
- 14:10since since drugs seems to be a big part of
- 14:13this week's stories. So the story and I have dear
- 14:17friends who are Coastguard veterans, and you want to get
- 14:21prickly around Veterans day, leave the Coast Guard out of
- 14:23the roster of veterans. Oh boy, Coastguard seized an unprecedented
- 14:31forty thousand pounds of cocaine. Crew members standing over a
- 14:37burning vessel lest have it taken over. I was told
- 14:45by text at four three four eight eight two four
- 14:47two seven that it was the Dea that burned the boat.
- 14:53How very Cortes like of you? Then now they're going
- 14:57to have this day, he said, forty pounds in one month.
- 15:04The operation was called Operation Pacific Viper and so bad,
- 15:10so bad has things have things become in Washington that
- 15:16you don't have to go to any great lengths to
- 15:19imagine a statement like this being released by oh, I
- 15:23don't know, somebody like Virginia Senator Mark Warner or Virginia
- 15:31Senator Tim Kaine, who famously said earlier in the week
- 15:38that he was concerned about the attitude that rights came
- 15:42from God.
- 15:43Speaker 17: The notion that rights don't come from laws and don't
- 15:46come from the government, but come from the Creator. That's
- 15:50what the Iranian government believes. No, so the statement that
- 15:55our rights do not come from our laws or our
- 15:58governments is extremely trumpling.
- 16:02Speaker 4: And we can spend some time on that, but it
- 16:04is not a stretch for one to imagine on this
- 16:06Saturday morning, a statement coming from Senator Kane or Widen
- 16:14or Congresswoman Cortes along the lines of President Trump promised
- 16:25to make lives better for poor Americans, yet the actions
- 16:29of the Coastguard have made crack cocaine more expensive for
- 16:32poor Americans. Trump lied again. I can see the mid
- 16:39term ads now, and you're smirking. I see you smirking there,
- 16:44your way into mistake, Beach. I know you're smirking there,
- 16:49prepping for the Ryder Cup coming Bethpage Black, and you're
- 16:53smirking because you know, you know in your heart that
- 17:01somebody was about to write that statement. President Trump promised
- 17:05to make lives better for poor Americans. He's just making
- 17:08crack cocaine mark expensive because that's what he does every
- 17:14time something like this happens. Is this, and this is
- 17:18one of the problems with defining yourself against what you're
- 17:21against only. And I like to think that I've flown
- 17:27free from that, that, you know, the feeling that we
- 17:39can have an honest conversation because I listen to folks
- 17:43of a democratic persuasion and we both agree that poverty
- 17:47is a big issue in the country. We have different
- 17:50ideas of solutions. But you know what when I lay
- 17:53my ideas out free market economy, opportunities, well, yeah, I
- 17:59could see that. You know, some of them are died
- 18:02in the wall. TI died in the world technically, and
- 18:07they'll just say now that people are just just like
- 18:09Tim Kaine, and the idea that people, you know, don't
- 18:13have their own God given rights to pursue, the.
- 18:16Speaker 17: Notion that rights don't come from laws and don't come
- 18:20from the government, but come from the Creator. That's what
- 18:23the Iranian government.
- 18:24Speaker 4: Believes, can we get the clip of Mahmud Ahmed Nijad
- 18:29because I know that he spoke eloquently about the rights
- 18:32of gay people in Tehran. I mean, they certainly have
- 18:37a right to pursue gravity until of course the abrupt
- 18:40stop at the end. No, we have no gay people
- 18:44in Iran, not at least not anymore. And you know,
- 18:49and that statement partially because this program flags from Virginia,
- 18:55and we just watched Tim Kaine yet again get six
- 18:58more years of representation in Virginia. And you know, like
- 19:07good co conspirators, folks like Elizabeth Warren had to get
- 19:11involved in the Kennedy hearings, and even you know, folks
- 19:16like Tom Brosso who said, we need to get this
- 19:22stink off of Senator Kine. We need to be crazier
- 19:25than he was. But I wrote a piece for the
- 19:28Daily Signal. I'm a columnist for them there. It's my
- 19:32one way of saying that I have something in common
- 19:34with Victor Davis Hansen. And the column I wrote was
- 19:39titled my working title was Daddy, where do Rights Come From?
- 19:45They thought that was a probably too cute by half,
- 19:47so they came up with a much more traditional and
- 19:51explanatory title, and it is clearer to those who just
- 19:55are skimming the interwebs looking for stuff, But it talks
- 19:58about John Locke. Do you ever hear of John Locke?
- 20:02If you under if you've ever heard the phrase the Enlightenment,
- 20:05or perhaps you've heard of Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson is
- 20:08one of the biggest students of John Locke. John Locke
- 20:14is as much as Russell Kirk and his research into
- 20:25folks like Edmund Burke and their career, you know, and
- 20:27Cincinnatus and these other folks. In his book The Conservative Mind,
- 20:33Edmund Burke being the mp that said, hey, this Jefferson
- 20:37fellow seems to have us dead to rights on the
- 20:40abuses and usurpations of the king. John Locke is really
- 20:46the source of this thought process that every human being,
- 20:51whether or not their government currently recognizes it or not,
- 20:56is born with rights. It's a Judeo Christian ethic that
- 21:00goes may Monde's and all the way back to Aristotle.
- 21:07And as I was writing the piece, that dawned on
- 21:10me that Cain's belief actually comes from John Locke as well.
- 21:15Because John Locke is the source of Jefferson's point in
- 21:19the Declaration of Independence that to secure these rights, governments
- 21:23are institute are amongst men. So Cain's perversion is he's
- 21:27just excerpting that bit of John Locke. He's taken that
- 21:31little bit of John Locke's philosophy, and in his belief
- 21:35is that if the government doesn't defend the rights, see
- 21:38what Massachusetts is trying to do with gun ownership, then
- 21:43they don't exist. And that's how the government gives and
- 21:46takes away rights. But as I point out in the column,
- 21:51citizens have the rights, have rights without government. Government has
- 21:55no existence without the citizen.
- 22:01Speaker 5: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent

- 23:10Speaker 18: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
- 23:14is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
- 23:16owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
- 23:20That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
- 23:23the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
- 23:26premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
- 23:29is not just due to the octane rating. There are
- 23:31better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too.
- 23:35The vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
- 23:37with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
- 23:40their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
- 23:44your fuel choices around say every third tank full. You
- 23:46may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
- 23:50are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.

- 24:03Speaker 5: Considered by most. Optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:41cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 26:54when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
- 26:57energy star logo and read the energy guide label, and
- 27:00there are day to day things you can do. Lower
- 27:03your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,

- 28:08Speaker 1: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
- 28:15Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas in Charlottesville.
- 28:19Speaker 19: By Oh yes, wait a minute, disupposed, way waity disupposed?
- 28:30Speaker 4: So how long ago was it? Was it six months ago?
- 28:32Or was it like three days ago? President Trump set
- 28:35the world on fire, started a brush fire by saying
- 28:38that Colorado or we have some great affiliates on the
- 28:41weekday shows. Don't know if you're picking me up in
- 28:43Colorado Springs or Fort Collins on the weekends, but I
- 28:47know we're on on Long Island. Long Island News Radio
- 28:51and the story of the Mailman US Postal Services News
- 28:57twelve US Postal Service and arrested for stealing mail in
- 29:02Wanta which is, by the way, how you know somebody
- 29:06has at least lived on Long Island. They pronounce it correctly,
- 29:09just like Stanton, US Postal Service employee facing multiple charges
- 29:14for stealing mail in Wanta. According to police, authorities responded
- 29:18to the post office just before two thirty pm on Thursday.
- 29:23Office staff informed them that forty year old Daniel Schultz
- 29:27had mail that did not belong to him in the
- 29:29back seat of his car. Officers also found a bag
- 29:32containing a white substance that appeared to be cocaine. Schultz
- 29:37is set to appear in front of a judge today,
- 29:42and regardless of what happens to mister Schultz, I want
- 29:51to go back to President Trump's statements on mail in
- 29:55balloting for a moment. I say he pointed out Colorado
- 30:00was got all male in balloting, so does Oregon. Well,
- 30:03you have more great affiliates there Portland. And oh, don't
- 30:09don't let me forget before the break is over about
- 30:11Trans Siberian Orchestra. Okay, big news, big news that I forgot.
- 30:16We're an hour and a half into the show and
- 30:17I forgot bad bad form anyway, So President singles out
- 30:22Colorado for being all male in balloting, so's Oregon and
- 30:28Colorado's Secretary of State Griswold said.
- 30:32Speaker 22: This, we're in conversations with our attorneys to make sure
- 30:37we're defending Colorado's elections. Look, mail ballots are secure. They
- 30:41cannot be hacked because they're a piece of paper.
- 30:45Speaker 4: That might wind up in a postman's back seat being
- 30:50driven around with his cocaine. The only secure way to
- 30:57have a democracy. She goes on to compare him to dictate,
- 31:00because that's what you have to do if you're a leftist.
- 31:02Speaker 22: That is increasingly more important as Trump has made our
- 31:05elections less secure since taking office again, he's disbanded much
- 31:10of the federal government's work on countering foreign disinformation, and
- 31:13its obviously taking cues about democracy from a dictator.
- 31:21Speaker 4: Oh it is, you know, it's the classic hits. I mean,
- 31:24this is why there are so many radio stations that
- 31:26won't play new artists. Like when Zebra comes out with
- 31:30their new record. Do you think you know any rock
- 31:33radio station on Long Island would play it? No, it's
- 31:39got to play you know whatever Atlanta, Georgia, or you know,
- 31:44San Antonio, Texas tells you is in the playlist. I
- 31:50would certainly play it. We've asked Randy and Guy and
- 31:53Felix to join us fifty years and a new album.
- 31:59But it's news. It's the news format of classic hits.
- 32:04Jenny Griswold, Secretary of State for Colorado, obviously doesn't make
- 32:08a lot of national news appearances. So dragged out there,
- 32:12she ran to the scripts pre prepared by oh, the
- 32:16Arabella advisors and such, and just you know, download one
- 32:19of the templates and say, all right, Trump is a
- 32:21dictator because he's made things last safe by dismantling the apparatus.
- 32:26That the only secure way, and debate this with me.
- 32:33Debate this point because it sounds weird when you say it.
- 32:38I admit it sounds weird when it rattles around my
- 32:41spacious cranium and comes out my mouth. But it's the truth.
- 32:50The only way to operate a democratic republic and defend
- 32:57the individual's right to vote is that if we all
- 33:01vote secretly in public, so that and understand the premise.
- 33:09So we don't want to see your ballot, but we
- 33:13want to see you cast it. And it's not for
- 33:17a lack of trust of you, it's a lack of
- 33:19trust of them. We don't trust them to coerce you,
- 33:25to bribe you, to shake you down for your support,
- 33:30lest you continue to get harangued. This is the problem
- 33:33with vote harvesting, ballot harvesting, all this stuff or people.
- 33:38And most states have some buffer zone where you're not
- 33:42allowed to quote politic some states it's bigger than others.
- 33:47I know when I was growing up in Queens PS
- 33:50forty one, you weren't allowed in the building. You were
- 33:56outside the wrought iron fence. That was the closest you
- 33:59could have any of the politicians. You walk through the
- 34:02playground whatever. Virginia it's something like one hundred feet, but
- 34:07again you're outside of the building. The building considered the
- 34:11polling place. And so the political campaigns, hey, here's a
- 34:16sample ballot.
- 34:17Speaker 3: Come in a sample ballot.
- 34:19Speaker 4: Want a sample ballot? All those people, And I've done that.
- 34:23I've done it, and I've thanked both Republicans and Democrats
- 34:26who have done it, because it's a it's it's I
- 34:29don't know, it's it's kind of like being the guy
- 34:32with the spinning pizza sign on the corner of South
- 34:35Oyster Bay Road and the Lye Service Road. You kind
- 34:41of feel like one of those. You know, you would
- 34:42be better if we got one of those blow up
- 34:44little wavy guys vote vote GOP or put a Shaguavara
- 34:52T shirt on it, and then the obvious party affiliation
- 34:55then would be But you vote secretly so we don't
- 35:00see your ballot. Nobody can see your ballot. You go
- 35:04into a little booth there, but you do it in
- 35:07public so that we all know that you were not coerced,
- 35:12and that somebody who would try to coerce you is
- 35:15less likely to do it because you're in view of
- 35:18your neighbors. And unfortunately, because that's a nuanced thing that
- 35:26you can't just say in a five or one hundred
- 35:29and fifty word character tweet. Luckily, you and I have
- 35:33three hours every Saturday morning, four hours if you turn
- 35:36it during the weekdays. Oh, I'll have time to get
- 35:43into this bull crap. We have all the time in
- 35:46the world. And if this isn't the most essential thing,
- 35:49and the leftists are not wrong when they tell us
- 35:52it is the most important thing, they want you to
- 35:54be looking the Oh, it's the vote, and this is
- 35:59connecttion did to the idea that we're rounding up our
- 36:04neighbors and putting them in concentration camps. Remember that lunacy
- 36:08that was a few weeks ago. That's more classic news.
- 36:12One of the one of the nut clusters on that
- 36:15CNN show, Scott Jennings and the Looney Bin of what
- 36:20I was like five loons in Scott Jennings, bless him
- 36:24for it. I've been that guy. I was that guy.
- 36:27There's video at cbsnews dot com of me finding myself
- 36:33very alone in a room full of twelve others Charlotte's
- 36:37villains and doctor Ibram X Kendy, and I was the
- 36:41only one willing to debate him on his crazy racist
- 36:45policies and call him out for it. All the people
- 36:50that were supposed to be backing me up, Oh, we've
- 36:52got some conservatives and some liberals. Once the lights went on,
- 36:57it was like, well, yeah, I understand the racism is No,
- 37:01he was racist. It's hard to do, it's hard to
- 37:05fly in the face of convention. But do you protect
- 37:10somebody's vote. For all these people that we're trying to
- 37:13protect the black vote, then have them show up so
- 37:16that we know that no politician or some politician's minion
- 37:23is banging on their doors saying I'm just here to
- 37:26collect your ballots, sir, and I have If you're not registered,
- 37:30I can register you right here, sir. Because A we
- 37:35know this is going on. B. I believe that is
- 37:38thoroughly in violation of most states politicking laws because the
- 37:44polling place is standing right in front of the guy
- 37:46who is being harangued about signing up the vote. You
- 37:51vote secretly in public so that you know you're was
- 37:57dropped into the government's hands and we know you weren't coerced.
- 38:01Speaker 23: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting,
- 38:05and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding.
- 38:08Speaker 4: Or abolishing the police.
- 38:11Speaker 23: At a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of
- 38:14police the most, some elected officials would rather create more
- 38:17chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of elected officials
- 38:21caving in to demands of the radical left, you're not alone.

- 44:25Speaker 4: See you let me down? How I was. I felt
- 44:31like John Belushi and Animal House. You were supposed to
- 44:33stop me, so I had time to do tell you
- 44:36the news of TSO and the pantheon of great Long
- 44:46Island rock and rollers. How is Al Petrolie not considered
- 44:49one of the great guitar players of all time? For
- 44:51this stuff?
- 44:56Speaker 13: So?
- 44:56Speaker 4: Uh? Last week I told you that you know TSO
- 44:58had announced their winter Christmas tour and is the sweltering
- 45:03summer heat comes back? We've had false fall and now
- 45:06we're getting summer to the electric boogaloo. It's good to
- 45:13think of things like Christmas and the TSO Christmas Tour.
- 45:16Tickets go on sale in about nine days if you're
- 45:20a member of their club and all that and whatnot.
- 45:23Bots during the week intervening you and me on a
- 45:27Saturday morning, my friends at Trans Hiberian Orchestra have agreed
- 45:32to get me tickets the radio stations you're hearing me on.
- 45:37And I was saying this because I know what will happen.
- 45:40You will call the radio station you're hearing this program
- 45:43on and say, I hear you are. This is Joe
- 45:46Thomas and his radio program. First thing today Because of
- 45:52my personal relationship with Trans Siberian Orchestra, and we went
- 45:55and I sent them an email with all the cities
- 45:58that my show is carried in and that they're performing in.
- 46:02So I'm getting from TSO this show specifically, again not
- 46:06the radio station you're listening to me on, but this
- 46:09show specifically will be getting tickets to give away to
- 46:14the shows that are in areas served by this by TSO.
- 46:26And that includes here on Long Island, where you guys
- 46:28are listening the show in Queens at Belmont Racetrack, the
- 46:33IBS Arena there, and and if you're listening to us
- 46:39and you're like, Okay, but I want to go to
- 46:41the show in Manchester, New Hampshire, you enter for that.
- 46:45I just tied these to the geographic location of our
- 46:49affiliate stations like Youngstown, Ohio, and Colorado Springs and Salt
- 46:54Lake City and Portland and Manchester, New Hampshire and Jacksonville, Florida,
- 46:59and Orlando and Tampa, Florida. You think they like us
- 47:02in Florida, New Orleans, Newark, New Jersey, if you feel
- 47:07like driving to Newark and you've got good car security,
- 47:09find us. We figured that would connect to our friends
- 47:12in Greenwich, Connecticut, San Antonio, Minneapolis. Oh Man, they need
- 47:19a TSO show in Minneapolis, don't they Anyway, So we've
- 47:23secured tickets to each one of those shows, and we're
- 47:25going to make it easy enough to enter. Not yet,
- 47:29not yet, calm down. I know the rock radio world
- 47:33is well them before you can buy them, but you know,
- 47:35it takes a little bit for us to put together
- 47:37all the lattice works so that it's fair and people
- 47:40can enter. We're going to use and utilize our social
- 47:43media plus the Joe Thomas in the Morning website to
- 47:47be the trafficker, if you will, of these entries. But
- 47:53I did want to share that since last Saturday we
- 47:55were just talking about the shows that were coming up.
- 47:58Think Belmont it's December ninetheenth, Newark it's December twentieth. I
- 48:05think this tour Kits kicks off our affiliate yoh and
- 48:08Youngstown on November sixteenth, So it's coming up and they're
- 48:18going to start selling tickets. Like I said, you usually
- 48:22mid September. We're going to have friends from the band
- 48:26on and maybe maybe we can go to al into
- 48:29coming back and being on an interview with me. I
- 48:32told everyone I said, it's so cool. We're back on.
- 48:34And it was in the studios of WRCN, which is
- 48:37of course now known as Long Island News Radio, but
- 48:40they're in the one oh three point nine studios in Riverhead.
- 48:44Al said, Hey, I'm going off for a little while.
- 48:46We're going to do this Christmas thing. We're like, okay,
- 48:50Al whatever, And I'm sorry, and I know, you know,
- 48:53he's a friend of mine and it's just neat to say.
- 48:57But you know, like I said, how does how does
- 49:00somebody who can do this with an electric guitar and
- 49:04not get considered one of the This is a piece
- 49:11that's usually left for harpsichord or something. Yeah, I'm sorry,
- 49:16there's just something wrong with that. There's there's no justice. Well,
- 49:19it's the same justice that befell Rush when they were
- 49:23kept out of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Anyway,
- 49:26it's had each week each weekday morning, my friend Mac
- 49:30McDonald sits down and talks sports with us. And one
- 49:33of the things that was big this week was obviously
- 49:36the open to the college football season, and with the
- 49:39battles in the Big ten Penn State, I saw a
- 49:44lot of picks. Now the Penn State's gonna win it
- 49:46all really hard though, really hard. My heart goes out
- 49:50to the Penn State fans in you know, Happy Valley.
- 49:53You know they were forced to root for the Ohio
- 49:55State University. I mean, that's that's hurtful stuff.
- 50:00Speaker 24: Oh and flooded and social media was flooded with AI
- 50:03takes with Arch Manning and Sarqis. I mean, the AI
- 50:07takes are really funny, but you got to make sure
- 50:11you watch it.
- 50:12Speaker 4: It's pretty funny, all right.
- 50:13Speaker 24: The Hurricanes got their first win over an AP Top
- 50:16ten team in eight years, and it does snap an
- 50:18eight game losing streak against AP Top ten opponents. Now
- 50:21a little bit about Carson Beck and why was he
- 50:24so emotional during his postgame interview. Well, an interesting move
