Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Joe works at a steel mill, works damn near every day.
- 0:17Speaker 3: Leaves for work when the sun comes up, drops the
- 0:19Speaker 3: kids to school and on the way. Joe has everything
- 0:23Speaker 3: he dreamed of, all the treasures that he needs.
- 0:27Speaker 4: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
- 0:30Speaker 5: He only aims to please you.
- 0:33Speaker 6: Let me be your Joe.
- 0:35Speaker 7: Bless you for letting me be of service to you
- 0:37Speaker 7: this morning.
- 0:38Speaker 8: I want to be your Joe.
- 0:41Speaker 7: On the radio show, unabashed to call itself a radio show,
- 0:44Speaker 7: but to stay hip with the lingo, you can be
- 0:48Speaker 7: my content creators. Here's how it works. I will tell
- 0:51Speaker 7: you what went on last night. I will give you
- 0:53Speaker 7: my analysis of it, of course. But I want to
- 0:56Speaker 7: hear how it's impacting you, where you are, the singular
- 1:00Speaker 7: most important local aspect of any radio station. I don't
- 1:05Speaker 7: care where you are. It's you. That's why at 434-882-4217,
- 1:12Speaker 7: I'll take your text messages or phone calls, so the
- 1:17Speaker 7: traditional format. But I know how mornings are. The folks
- 1:20Speaker 7: who have time to call us, they're a blessing, but
- 1:24Speaker 7: most all of us are running around trying to do
- 1:26Speaker 7: all those things that we thought we had more time
- 1:28Speaker 7: for later. Now is later. So you're running around like crazy.
- 1:35Speaker 7: I get it. Holler something into voice to text and
- 1:38Speaker 7: shoot it to us at 434-882-4217, and we will read
- 1:40Speaker 7: your words into the public record. Don't worry, I don't
- 1:49Speaker 7: think it's legally binding, but that being said, it's a
- 1:56Speaker 7: busy morning of international intrigue. The Israeli election looks like
- 2:05Speaker 7: it could be decided by several Arab parties, and people
- 2:11Speaker 7: don't realize that there may be— we were talking about this
- 2:16Speaker 7: yesterday— more Arabs in elected office, more Muslims in elected
- 2:21Speaker 7: office in Israel than anywhere else in the Middle East.
- 2:25Speaker 7: And the key word there is elected. It's not like
- 2:29Speaker 7: these other countries don't have crown princes and things like that.
- 2:37Speaker 7: Russia is talking with the U.S. Iran. Apparently, J.D. Vance
- 2:43Speaker 7: is striking up a bromance with the former head of
- 2:46Speaker 7: the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Oh, yeah, and Election Day
- 2:52Speaker 7: is coming up here in the United States, the midterms,
- 2:57Speaker 7: and too close to call. And I received an email
- 2:59Speaker 7: that I want to address when we come back from
- 3:02Speaker 7: our opening salvo of first things regarding the midterms and
- 3:09Speaker 7: the perils of what awaits us But let me start
- 3:15Speaker 7: with J.D. Vance apparently opening an approved diplomatic channel with
- 3:21Speaker 7: Iran's most powerful hardliner, Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme
- 3:31Speaker 7: National Security Council and former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary
- 3:36Speaker 7: Guard Corps, has been in communications with the American vice
- 3:40Speaker 7: president to avert another round of U.S. attacks. right after
- 3:46Speaker 7: the midterms. Speaking of the midterms, Republicans have taken shots
- 3:52Speaker 7: now at Mary Pitola, the Democrat running in the race
- 4:00Speaker 7: because it has come out that her campaign colluded with
- 4:05Speaker 7: those recruiting Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. to undermine the re-election
- 4:10Speaker 7: bid of incumbent Dan Sullivan. Senator Sullivan's campaign accused Petola
- 4:22Speaker 7: of gaslighting Alaskans voters. Her senior advisors, the allegations go on,
- 4:30Speaker 7: colluded with the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, National Democrat-affiliated lawyers,
- 4:38Speaker 7: and Alaska Democrat operatives to recruit Daniel J. Sullivan Jr.
- 4:44Speaker 7: to deliberately confuse voters and then repeatedly lied about it.
- 4:52Speaker 7: Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro declared himself the leader of
- 4:57Speaker 7: Brazil's opposition Wednesday after arriving in the United States with
- 5:02Speaker 7: his family. In a defiant statement, Bolsonaro vowed to direct
- 5:08Speaker 7: Brazil's opposition from American soil, comparing his struggle to the
- 5:13Speaker 7: historic resistance movements led by Charles de Gaulle and Venezuelan
- 5:19Speaker 7: opposition leader Machado. I want to tell not only my
- 5:22Speaker 7: 60 million voters, but the Brazilian people, I am the leader.
- 5:28Speaker 7: Israel's Arab parties may make up 19 seats in the
- 5:35Speaker 7: Knesset when the election results are announced next week. The
- 5:41Speaker 7: turnout among Arab voters in the Jewish state make up
- 5:46Speaker 7: 20% of the population, but their turnout numbers were 80%,
- 5:52Speaker 7: far outstripping many others in the Knesset parliamentary elections. And
- 5:57Speaker 7: those are some of our first things. Congratulations to the
- 6:02Speaker 7: Milwaukee Brewers as well, winning the World Series. The folks at.

- 6:57Speaker 7: shows intersect the tour in many places. Joe Thomas.
- 7:01Speaker 4: You know, it's true. Difficult times have a way of
- 7:04Speaker 4: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
- 7:07Speaker 4: when it comes to our spending, our health care. This
- 7:09Speaker 4: is why so many people are joining MediShare right now.
- 7:13Speaker 4: MediShare is a trusted way to save up to 50%
- 7:16Speaker 4: on your monthly health care costs. More than 400,000 people
- 7:20Speaker 4: have already made the switch. It's pretty obvious why, especially
- 7:24Speaker 4: now during this challenging season with health care costs and
- 7:27Speaker 4: out-of-pocket expenses going up. MediShare can save you a lot
- 7:30Speaker 4: of money. The typical family saves $ 500 a month.

- 8:03Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 9: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
- 8:43Speaker 9: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
- 8:46Speaker 9: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
- 8:51Speaker 9: cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to
- 8:57Speaker 9: look good, feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
- 9:02Speaker 10: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 9:05Speaker 10: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 9:10Speaker 10: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
- 9:13Speaker 10: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
- 9:16Speaker 10: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 9:21Speaker 10: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 9:25Speaker 10: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 9:29Speaker 10: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
- 9:33Speaker 10: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 9:37Speaker 10: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
- 9:42Speaker 10: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
- 9:46Speaker 10: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
- 9:53Speaker 10: Share this information with your friends and family.
- 9:58Speaker 6: Hi, everybody.
- 9:59Speaker 11: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
- 10:01Speaker 11: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 11: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 11: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 11: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 11: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
- 10:15Speaker 11: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
- 10:17Speaker 11: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
- 10:21Speaker 11: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
- 10:23Speaker 11: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
- 10:26Speaker 11: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
- 10:30Speaker 11: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
- 10:33Speaker 11: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
- 10:36Speaker 11: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
- 10:39Speaker 11: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
- 10:42Speaker 11: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
- 10:44Speaker 11: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
- 10:47Speaker 11: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
- 10:50Speaker 11: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
- 10:53Speaker 11: planet we inhabit together. Go to americanhumane.org to learn more.
- 10:59Speaker 7: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 6: Oh, yeah?
- 11:01Speaker 7: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:04Speaker 12: And now a speech.
- 11:06Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 11:10Speaker 14: Heart and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 7: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 11: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 11:15Speaker 15: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 11:18Speaker 15: somebody call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 4: Love that guy.
- 11:20Speaker 13: Me too.
- 11:21Speaker 6: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 11:23Speaker 6: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:28Speaker 16: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 11:31Speaker 16: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:35Speaker 16: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 11:39Speaker 16: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42Speaker 16: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 11:46Speaker 16: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 11:51Speaker 16: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 11:54Speaker 16: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 11:58Speaker 16: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 12:00Speaker 16: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 12:04Speaker 16: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 12:07Speaker 16: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 12:11Speaker 16: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 12:14Speaker 16: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

- 12:29Speaker 5: As a family member or friend, you may be the
- 12:32Speaker 5: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35Speaker 5: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
- 12:40Speaker 5: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.

- 13:02Speaker 1: The sound of thousands of Making mornings great again. First
- 13:18Speaker 1: thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 13:22Speaker 12: For the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence
- 13:26Speaker 12: and the 37 who signed the Constitution.
- 13:28Speaker 7: And here's to you, Mr.
- 13:30Speaker 3: Jefferson.
- 13:31Speaker 14: We all miss.
- 13:32Speaker 1: You more than you will know.
- 13:36Speaker 3: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 13:38Speaker 7: God bless you, please, Mr. Madison. Heaven help these fools
- 13:44Speaker 7: that legislate. So I received an email yesterday to JTInTheMorningRadio
- 13:55Speaker 7: at gmail.com and I wanted to bring it to the
- 14:01Speaker 7: program today because I think it puts its finger on
- 14:06Speaker 7: what a lot of people I know are thinking and feeling,
- 14:10Speaker 7: especially as, I mean, gosh, yesterday did every pollster ever
- 14:15Speaker 7: Decide yesterday was the day to put out their final countdown.
- 14:21Speaker 7: It was Gallup. It was Rasmussen. Everybody had a poll
- 14:26Speaker 7: out yesterday. Except that one phony baloney polling company in
- 14:35Speaker 7: Michigan that is subject of my latest column at DailySignal.com.
- 14:41Speaker 7: I don't think it's published yet. Don't go running for
- 14:43Speaker 7: it just yet. but it'll be up there shortly today. So,
- 14:54Speaker 7: Mark wrote in eloquently, I think, putting voice to this
- 15:02Speaker 7: angst that conservatives are feeling because everyone is telling them
- 15:12Speaker 7: that it's a lost cause and that the Democrats are
- 15:17Speaker 7: going to sweep. And what did Kareem write in yesterday?
- 15:21Speaker 7: He thinks the Democrats are going to have 250 seats
- 15:24Speaker 7: in the house. And that the feeling is that's it.
- 15:32Speaker 7: We're done. People are searching for immigration law in Argentina.
- 15:40Speaker 7: I mean, it's, it's bad. I'm not going to sugarcoat
- 15:47Speaker 7: the way people are feeling about next week. And some
- 15:52Speaker 7: of you, I understand the defense mechanism. You expect the worst.
- 15:57Speaker 7: That way, if it is the worst, you are at
- 16:00Speaker 7: least comforted in the knowledge that you are right. I
- 16:04Speaker 7: guess that works for you. But Mark writes in and says, Joe,
- 16:11Speaker 7: I don't know what we're going to do. If the
- 16:17Speaker 7: Democrats take power, they'll impeach Trump, they'll have the Senate,
- 16:21Speaker 7: so they'll remove him from office. I don't know how
- 16:27Speaker 7: they'll go after J.D. Vance, but I'm not 100% sure
- 16:32Speaker 7: he wouldn't start going along just to say he got
- 16:35Speaker 7: things done. And they're going to start taking away our
- 16:44Speaker 7: gun rights, forcing me to care for people who I
- 16:50Speaker 7: have no interest in caring for, nor are doing anything
- 16:53Speaker 7: for me except taking my tax money, supporting crime expansion
- 17:03Speaker 7: within my city. I don't know where I'm going to go.
- 17:06Speaker 7: They're not going to let me defend my property with
- 17:09Speaker 7: my second amendment anymore. Many of my friends, Joe, think
- 17:15Speaker 7: this is going to be worse than even the media
- 17:18Speaker 7: is laying it out to look like. And that's certainly
- 17:23Speaker 7: I would never lie to you and say that that's impossible.
- 17:28Speaker 7: That all this, you know, I don't know, it's two points.
- 17:32Speaker 7: And then the Democrats and all their machinations and Mottola
- 17:36Speaker 7: up in Alaska getting the phony. And she's the one
- 17:40Speaker 7: who got the phony, Dan Sullivan. He's a real Dan Sullivan.
- 17:43Speaker 7: But But a couple of things to take to the bank, Mark,
- 17:53Speaker 7: and anyone who feels like Mark, and you may feel
- 17:55Speaker 7: worse than Mark. Mark just seems to be wondering what
- 18:02Speaker 7: happens starting Wednesday or even maybe January of the following
- 18:07Speaker 7: year when these folks take office. Number one, as I
- 18:12Speaker 7: said to you last November, give money away. to these
- 18:20Speaker 7: nonprofit legal firms like the Founding Freedoms Legal Center. Josh
- 18:24Speaker 7: Hertzler is going to join us from that group that's
- 18:28Speaker 7: affiliated with the Family Foundation, goes out and fights for life.
- 18:34Speaker 7: There's free speech legal firms, Second Amendment legal firms that
- 18:40Speaker 7: take these cases pro bono so you don't get bankrupted
- 18:44Speaker 7: because you know how the authoritarians... Because I don't like
- 18:49Speaker 7: assigning progressive Marxism to a party because I believe there
- 18:56Speaker 7: are a lot of Fabian socialists in the Republican Party
- 19:00Speaker 7: as well. The Fabus, of course, the Roman general who
- 19:06Speaker 7: invented the political philosophy of infiltration. Rather than battle your army,
- 19:15Speaker 7: I'll send many of my citizens into your country. have
- 19:20Speaker 7: them dress up and act up like your citizens, get
- 19:24Speaker 7: positions of authority, and now I'm in authority because I
- 19:27Speaker 7: have all the string pullers. Sound familiar? I bet the
- 19:35Speaker 7: French understand Fabus now. Fabus.
- 19:39Speaker 17: Sorry.
- 19:40Speaker 7: But Fabian socialism, the London School of Economics, is that
- 19:46Speaker 7: your money isn't yours. Your property isn't yours. You're rights
- 19:50Speaker 7: are not yours until the government says so. And I
- 19:57Speaker 7: have dear friends who point to a lot of the
- 20:02Speaker 7: problems in the United States and say, Joe, where is
- 20:06Speaker 7: your evidence that What Jefferson and Madison and all those
- 20:10Speaker 7: people put together is even workable, never mind sane. And
- 20:17Speaker 7: it appears that the majority of Americans want nothing to
- 20:20Speaker 7: do with that kind of frightening liberty. And I get it.
- 20:26Speaker 7: I get that, too. I understand the facts, not an
- 20:29Speaker 7: evidence counselor who says Americans can be self-governing.
- 20:34Speaker 17: I do. I do.
- 20:36Speaker 7: I don't think we've asked them to be in a while. But, Mark,
- 20:43Speaker 7: take heart in a couple of things. Number one, we
- 20:49Speaker 7: need a better class of folks who want to hold
- 20:54Speaker 7: these offices. I think we're still going through a recalibration process.
- 21:05Speaker 7: You look at what happened in Alaska. Anyone who's going
- 21:09Speaker 7: to go through that kind of developmental fraud to win
- 21:15Speaker 7: a political office are exactly the last kind of people
- 21:19Speaker 7: you want anywhere near a political office of any authority.
- 21:23Speaker 7: And I will also point out that Madison didn't give
- 21:28Speaker 7: the federal government this kind of authority over any incurrent
- 21:33Speaker 7: of life. But that being said, do you think for
- 21:37Speaker 7: a minute that if the Republicans hold the House and Senate,
- 21:43Speaker 7: that the progressives are just going to leave, move to
- 21:49Speaker 7: Brazil where Bolsonaro left? Not going to happen. They're going
- 21:53Speaker 7: to keep doing what they do, whether they have a
- 21:56Speaker 7: majority in Congress or not.
- 22:02Speaker 9: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 22:07Speaker 9: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
- 22:12Speaker 9: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 22:17Speaker 9: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 22:21Speaker 9: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
- 22:27Speaker 9: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 22:31Speaker 9: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 22:34Speaker 9: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 22:38Speaker 9: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 22:41Speaker 9: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
- 22:46Speaker 9: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

- 24:07Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin.
- 24:10Speaker 1: Products on the market.
- 24:12Speaker 9: Hi, I'm Dr.
- 24:13Speaker 17: Mitch.
- 24:14Speaker 9: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 24:19Speaker 9: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 24:23Speaker 9: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 24:28Speaker 9: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 24:32Speaker 9: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 24:39Speaker 9: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 24:43Speaker 9: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 24:46Speaker 9: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 24:51Speaker 9: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

- 25:54Speaker 18: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 25:56Speaker 12: Oh, yeah?
- 25:57Speaker 7: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 25:59Speaker 4: And now a speech.
- 26:02Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 26:05Speaker 13: Heart and brain.
- 26:07Speaker 7: Who's with me?
- 26:08Speaker 11: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 26:10Speaker 15: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 26:13Speaker 15: somebody call me a ride.
- 26:15Speaker 4: Love that guy.
- 26:16Speaker 13: Me too.
- 26:16Speaker 6: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 26:19Speaker 6: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 26:23Speaker 16: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 26:25Speaker 16: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 26:29Speaker 16: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 26:34Speaker 16: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 26:36Speaker 16: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 26:40Speaker 16: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 26:46Speaker 16: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 26:49Speaker 16: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 26:53Speaker 16: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 26:55Speaker 16: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 26:58Speaker 16: the Energy Guide label.
- 27:00Speaker 7: And there are.
- 27:01Speaker 16: Day-to-day things you can do. Lower your thermostat in winter
- 27:05Speaker 16: and raise it in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when
- 27:08Speaker 16: they're not in use. And keep air filters clean. For
- 27:11Speaker 16: more tips on saving money by reducing your energy waste,

- 28:12Speaker 1: We didn't make talk radio. We made it better. First
- 28:16Speaker 1: Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 28:31Speaker 7: It's how you gotta be. And why I wanted to
- 28:40Speaker 7: bring Mark's email up is because there is a faulty
- 28:45Speaker 7: premise that if conservatives win, progressives go poof. There's this,
- 28:52Speaker 7: I don't know if it's too many times we watched
- 28:59Speaker 7: the Wizard of Oz, and we think that just throwing
- 29:02Speaker 7: a bucket of water on communists make them go away.
- 29:08Speaker 7: How long ago was it that Khrushchev warned Americans that
- 29:14Speaker 7: the communists were going to take over the country from
- 29:18Speaker 7: the inside? That's, what, 40, 60 years ago. But communists don't,
- 29:31Speaker 7: you know, don't, or for a better phrase, not don't,
- 29:35Speaker 7: but aren't in any sort of rush. Some of them are,
- 29:39Speaker 7: and they're the ones. ones who grab the pitchforks and torches.
- 29:43Speaker 7: But most of them get what Fabus was teaching. And
- 29:47Speaker 7: they're quite happy to erode individual rights and liberties, just,
- 29:53Speaker 7: you know, as time permits, while banking a good paycheck
- 29:58Speaker 7: and living high on the hog, because high party officials
- 30:02Speaker 7: in communist countries always have the best lives. So, you know,
- 30:07Speaker 7: the folks who work so very hard to, you know,
- 30:10Speaker 7: get into those positions of authority, yeah, we'll give them
- 30:14Speaker 7: someplace nice to live, a little dacha by, you know,
- 30:17Speaker 7: the Black Sea or something. And you say, well, why
- 30:24Speaker 7: would you want to fight that show? It sounds pretty good.
- 30:29Speaker 7: Because it always ends in people being sent to gulags.
- 30:33Speaker 7: So I'm not in support of anything that requires you
- 30:36Speaker 7: to be sent to a gulag if you don't go
- 30:42Speaker 7: along with the party line. And I'm not the only
- 30:46Speaker 7: one who feels that way. That's why communist governments always
- 30:50Speaker 7: wind up ending in bloodshed. The blood of patriots. must
- 30:58Speaker 7: renew this battle for liberty. Do we have to? Isn't
- 31:04Speaker 7: there something better for liberty people can do than have
- 31:08Speaker 7: to die? But communists, once they have power, they're going
- 31:12Speaker 7: to want to hold on to it. The things we
- 31:17Speaker 7: need to be careful about if the progressives win is
- 31:21Speaker 7: their feeling that this might be their only shot and
- 31:25Speaker 7: that they're going to do a here, Johnny, hold my
- 31:27Speaker 7: beer legislative campaign. Joel's on the line with us at 434-882-4217,
- 31:37Speaker 7: so I am not discounting Mark's trepidations. I have more
- 31:41Speaker 7: faith in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, and
- 31:45Speaker 7: I have more faith in people who think that being
- 31:50Speaker 7: a Democrat is cool until they finally show their true
- 31:54Speaker 7: colors and will welcome them back into the conservative constitutionalist
- 31:59Speaker 7: movement and we'll win back the power that we should
- 32:04Speaker 7: have in this country at We the People. Anyway, Joel,
- 32:09Speaker 7: thank you for hanging on the line. What's on your
- 32:11Speaker 7: mind this morning?
- 32:13Speaker 17: Good morning, Joe.
- 32:14Speaker 15: It's just so frustrating the things we hear with Republicans
- 32:20Speaker 15: or so-called conservatives, because where's your faith?
- 32:23Speaker 17: And you got to look at it like this.
- 32:26Speaker 15: Let's say we do lose the House of Representatives or
- 32:30Speaker 15: the Senate or both, right? We have up until, I mean,
- 32:34Speaker 15: that would be really horrible, but we have up until
- 32:37Speaker 15: January to pass the Save Act to get bills that
- 32:42Speaker 15: have already come through Congress that are sitting on the
- 32:44Speaker 15: Senate's floor right now that could go into law. And
- 32:48Speaker 15: then after January, there's nothing that whatever party comes in
- 32:54Speaker 15: can do with it because it's law unless... the Supreme
- 32:57Speaker 15: Court finds those laws not acceptable with the Constitution.
- 33:04Speaker 7: Which would be a stretch, but I get what you're saying.
- 33:07Speaker 7: John Roberts could come around and rewrite some of them
- 33:11Speaker 7: to change them because he's shown a proclivity for that.
- 33:15Speaker 15: But everybody throws their hands in. I mean, we're in
- 33:19Speaker 15: control right now. I mean, barely in control as far
- 33:22Speaker 15: as we, the Republicans. I mean, look what happened when
- 33:26Speaker 15: When Barack Obama had the Obama bill.
- 33:28Speaker 17: Or whatever the whatever that was originally called.
- 33:32Speaker 15: And then John McCain came in and everybody's like, oh, well,
- 33:36Speaker 15: you know, we never got past. It's like stop being
- 33:39Speaker 15: complacent with your thoughts and be, you know, go out
- 33:42Speaker 15: in your communities and activate and tell people to vote.
- 33:46Speaker 17: There's still time.
- 33:47Speaker 7: It's a weird kind of populism that cripples these elected officials, Joel.
- 33:53Speaker 7: It's not even a popular populism. It's populism amongst the
- 33:57Speaker 7: 45% that they're counting on to turn out for the election.
- 34:02Speaker 7: So it's almost like anti-populism. We'll do what gets us
- 34:06Speaker 7: mentioned nicely by the elites in the news media, and
- 34:09Speaker 7: we'll go out and we'll drive down voter turnout so
- 34:14Speaker 7: there's a smaller percentage of population that we have to
- 34:17Speaker 7: worry about voting for our sorry carcasses. But that's what
- 34:21Speaker 7: it is now. It's this bizarro.
- 34:27Speaker 7: This bizarro populism where it's not designed to be popular
- 34:32Speaker 7: amongst everybody, which I think your ability to pursue your
- 34:37Speaker 7: own happiness. We're going to talk to these folks from
- 34:40Speaker 7: the Property Rights Institute. It's a new group out there
- 34:44Speaker 7: trying to push for better understanding of the cornerstone of liberty,
- 34:50Speaker 7: which is your right to be sovereign on your land.
- 34:54Speaker 7: And their first battle is with data centers, of course.
- 34:59Speaker 7: But they're ardent folks, and defending our property rights ownership
- 35:04Speaker 7: is still one of the more important things. While we've
- 35:08Speaker 7: been vigorously defending our Second Amendment rights and our First
- 35:14Speaker 7: Amendment rights and our Third and Fourth Amendment rights, what
- 35:18Speaker 7: we haven't noticed is we've been signing away our Fifth
- 35:22Speaker 7: Amendment rights. not the Tony take the fifth, leave the
- 35:26Speaker 7: cannolis Fauci kind of Fifth Amendment rights. I'm talking about
- 35:30Speaker 7: the part of the Fifth Amendment that guarantees you that
- 35:33Speaker 7: your property is yours and it can't be taken from
- 35:36Speaker 7: you by the government without due process and just compensation.
- 35:42Speaker 7: And we're losing that, especially through local and state taxes.
- 35:49Speaker 7: You know, you're a tenant farmer in most counties and
- 35:53Speaker 7: You know, we're jealous of Andy and some of the
- 35:55Speaker 7: folks who live in Florida where that's not necessarily the case.
- 36:00Speaker 7: But most states, if you own land, the state or
- 36:04Speaker 7: the county you live in acts like, yeah, you're just
- 36:07Speaker 7: renting it from us. Because if you don't do what
- 36:09Speaker 7: we say, we're going to come and kick you off
- 36:11Speaker 7: of it.
- 36:13Speaker 17: Well, that's a big fight in Florida.
- 36:14Speaker 15: It's actually issue three. And Governor DeSantis has been talking about,
- 36:18Speaker 15: even though I'm not living there, I don't own property,
- 36:20Speaker 15: but That is a big fight. But I wanted to
- 36:22Speaker 15: say this real quick, too. We own the White House.
- 36:25Speaker 15: We own the Capitol. We own all that property. It's we,
- 36:28Speaker 15: the people, the president. And just get out there and
- 36:32Speaker 15: get people to vote.
- 36:34Speaker 1: Right.
- 36:34Speaker 7: Well, and this is what I mean. If we fail
- 36:37Speaker 7: at getting more than 50 percent, and I'd like to,
- 36:39Speaker 7: you know, if we can get enough conservatives to vote
- 36:44Speaker 7: and they don't want to vote for John Thune because
- 36:46Speaker 7: of things like you mentioned, the SAVE Act and all
- 36:49Speaker 7: of that. But we can have the conversation with these
- 36:53Speaker 7: folks more easily anyway than we could with Hakeem Jeffries
- 36:58Speaker 7: and Chuck Schumer. So we've got to remember that the
- 37:04Speaker 7: Democrats are fine with incrementalism. Republicans need to learn to
- 37:09Speaker 7: make or conservatives need to make incrementalism work for them
- 37:14Speaker 7: as well and start dragging people through our own Overton windows.
- 37:18Speaker 7: But bless you, Joel. I appreciate it, sir. You have
- 37:20Speaker 7: a good morning. You have a good day, too. Thanks, Joe.
- 37:27Speaker 7: 434-882-4217 is how y'all do it. And that's what we
- 37:31Speaker 7: say down here. Although most folks in, like, Georgia look
- 37:35Speaker 7: at Virginia as just another Rust Belt northern state, especially
- 37:41Speaker 7: these days. And it's hard to argue against them. Of course, unabashedly,

- 40:02Speaker 13: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
- 40:05Speaker 13: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
- 40:09Speaker 13: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
- 40:13Speaker 1: Oh, yes!

- 40:57Speaker 20: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 41:02Speaker 20: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
- 41:08Speaker 20: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 41:12Speaker 20: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 41:15Speaker 20: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 41:21Speaker 20: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 41:24Speaker 20: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:27Speaker 20: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:32Speaker 20: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
- 41:36Speaker 20: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

- 43:30Speaker 4: pretty sober.
- 43:32Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:35Speaker 4: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking

- 44:12Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:16Speaker 7: That's me. That's what we're doing here. Do our thing.
- 44:46Speaker 7: Change yours, mine. And we interact with each other. It
- 44:51Speaker 7: is my true belief that as we bump around like
- 44:57Speaker 7: that much dark matter in the universe, even just a
- 45:02Speaker 7: moment has impact. What do they call it? Oh, the
- 45:08Speaker 7: butterfly effect. Even the littlest interaction. So, you know, let's
- 45:13Speaker 7: have impact. Let's make the moments count. Each morning, I
- 45:19Speaker 7: ran into a young lady a couple of weeks back.
- 45:23Speaker 7: And she asked me, who did my Dolly Parton impression
- 45:28Speaker 7: on that re-entry music? I said, no, that's not an impression.
- 45:33Speaker 7: That's Dolly. And she said, I've never heard that song before.
- 45:37Speaker 7: And she said, I've heard 9 to 5. When did
- 45:39Speaker 7: she remake? She said she remade it for a TV commercial.
- 45:44Speaker 7: She said, no, she didn't. The legend of Dolly, you know,
- 45:48Speaker 7: at some point, you know, Dollywood will be, you know,
- 45:52Speaker 7: a nonprofit, you know, children's camp. And people are like, oh,
- 45:57Speaker 7: you mean it was actually a theme park at one point?
- 46:01Speaker 7: We all have our legends remade for us at some point,
- 46:04Speaker 7: hopefully for the better. Kareem is on the line with
- 46:07Speaker 7: us at 434-882-4217, masticating in Knoxville, Tennessee. Speaking of Dolly,
- 46:15Speaker 7: not too far from Sevierville there, where Dollywood is. So
- 46:21Speaker 7: you're heading south this morning, this beautiful part, some great
- 46:25Speaker 7: affiliates out there in Tennessee now as we learn more
- 46:30Speaker 7: and more about where and who's picking us up there
- 46:34Speaker 7: in Chattanooga and along the Tennessee Valley in Irwin as well.
- 46:42Speaker 7: So we appreciate all those folks who get it in
- 46:46Speaker 7: the morning. So what's on your mind this morning?
- 46:49Speaker 3: Oh, Joe, there's a lot, but I'm by chance headed
- 46:53Speaker 3: towards Chattanooga.
- 46:54Speaker 17: So what's the number on that station?
- 46:56Speaker 7: If you can let me know. 1150, 1150 WGOW AM.
- 47:04Speaker 3: I will tune in, 1150 WGOW AM.
- 47:07Speaker 17: Thanks for sharing that with me, Joe.
- 47:09Speaker 7: No problem. Beautiful city. I love that city.
- 47:13Speaker 17: It is.
- 47:14Speaker 3: Joe, there's a lot to go on, but I'm thinking
- 47:18Speaker 3: that this is my prognosis. Of course, that and, you know,
- 47:22Speaker 3: two dollars will get you half a cup of coffee.
- 47:24Speaker 17: But you're kind, Joe.
- 47:29Speaker 3: My thinking is if it's now people, of course, everybody
- 47:33Speaker 3: can call their friends and y'all can carpool.
- 47:35Speaker 17: To the y'all can vote early. You don't have to
- 47:38Speaker 17: wait till Tuesday. It's a whole season in Virginia anywhere
- 47:42Speaker 17: in the nation.
- 47:42Speaker 3: That's one of the benefits of having election seasons. You
- 47:45Speaker 3: can vote as early as you can. Just like in Arkansas,
- 47:48Speaker 3: it's vote early and vote often. They don't ask too
- 47:51Speaker 3: many questions. So as you're looking, if Democrats come in
- 47:58Speaker 3: and they come in with the numbers that I think
- 48:00Speaker 3: that they'll be coming in with, we're not looking at
- 48:02Speaker 3: Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker. We're not looking at Chuck Schumer
- 48:07Speaker 3: as Senate Majority Leader. What we are looking at, though,
- 48:11Speaker 3: is essentially a phoenix rising from the ashes.
- 48:15Speaker 17: Now, with Republicans, from some.
- 48:18Speaker 3: Studies that— one study more than the other— Republicans don't change leadership
- 48:25Speaker 3: in primaries. They change it in a general election because
- 48:28Speaker 3: it's the Democrats that are forcing it out.
- 48:31Speaker 17: Of the office.
- 48:32Speaker 3: So we can look at this as, for the last
- 48:34Speaker 3: two years— I' m sorry, Joel was right— We are in charge— I
- 48:39Speaker 3: say we— conservatives. Republicans were in charge for the past two years,
- 48:44Speaker 3: and this is what we're at now. Those conservatives who
- 48:48Speaker 3: got to be in leadership— We've.
- 48:52Speaker 17: Been waiting for them to do something, anything. Save that.
- 48:55Speaker 17: They could have passed the Save Act months ago, but
- 48:57Speaker 17: like I said, they.
- 48:58Speaker 3: Spent $ 100 million in Texas alone just to make sure
- 49:02Speaker 3: that Paxton would lose to John Cornyn, and Paxton made
- 49:06Speaker 3: that offer. I will drop out of the race if
- 49:08Speaker 3: y'all vote on the Save Act now. And, of course,
- 49:12Speaker 3: they haven't. So what I look at is that AI bubble.
- 49:17Speaker 3: When the Democrats, if they sweep in with the numbers,
- 49:19Speaker 3: I think, they are, that AI bubble will burst, and
- 49:24Speaker 3: they'll let those companies go bankrupt.
- 49:26Speaker 17: They remember too big to fail.
- 49:28Speaker 3: And the people that are coming in will say, no, no,
- 49:30Speaker 3: you're going to fail now.
- 49:31Speaker 17: You're not going to take us with it. So that's
- 49:33Speaker 17: going to happen. And I think they're going to leave Trump.
- 49:35Speaker 17: They'll impeach him. But I believe that they will leave him.
- 49:39Speaker 3: As president because they want Trump to continue doing what
- 49:45Speaker 3: he's doing.
- 49:46Speaker 17: They don't want J.D. in charge.
- 49:48Speaker 7: Well, I think they also learned the more they assail
- 49:51Speaker 7: Trump in any way, shape or form, the more popular
- 49:55Speaker 7: he becomes. So I think they're just going to come
- 49:58Speaker 7: in there and throw a bunch of burning bags of
- 50:03Speaker 7: excrement on the White House desk. or at the Cheesecake Factory,
- 50:08Speaker 7: as Barack Obama calls it, and just keep saying, while
- 50:13Speaker 7: we're trying, he keeps vetoing us and use that as
- 50:16Speaker 7: a premise to get a Democrat elected president.
- 50:21Speaker 17: Just like abortion.
- 50:23Speaker 3: They could have made a federal law, but it's better
- 50:25Speaker 3: to just fundraise every cycle of leaving abortion as a
- 50:30Speaker 3: Supreme Court decision. Two things, then I'll let go, Joe.
- 50:34Speaker 3: First one is Supreme Court They did allow some things
- 50:40Speaker 3: to go in. They killed affirmative action, which I think
- 50:43Speaker 3: is going to have– already you're seeing echoes of that impact.
- 50:48Speaker 3: And it's very interesting going forward what's going to happen
- 50:51Speaker 3: from that. The last thing is Israel has about 10
- 50:55Speaker 3: million people and.
- 50:56Speaker 17: They're still counting votes. So Brazil has 120 million votes.
- 51:01Speaker 17: They counted that in four hours.
- 51:03Speaker 7: Oh, I know. I know.
- 51:05Speaker 3: And there may be rumors of the White House sending
- 51:09Speaker 3: a delegation over to help Israel with the government, because
- 51:12Speaker 3: I've said it before, a lot of our elected leaders now,
- 51:16Speaker 3: they feel that Israel is part of the U.S., and
- 51:19Speaker 3: at least.
- 51:19Speaker 17: That's who they pledge allegiance to. Anyway, Joe, thanks for
- 51:22Speaker 17: taking my call. Have a great day.
- 51:23Speaker 7: I don't have a problem helping the only Western enclave
- 51:28Speaker 7: in that place, because As the U.S. helps Israel more,
- 51:32Speaker 7: the Arab nations become less problem than they were. And
- 51:37Speaker 7: you look at where we were in 2006 versus where
- 51:42Speaker 7: we are in 2026, and I think you'll see that
- 51:46Speaker 7: difference there. You mentioned the Supreme Court, and there is,
- 51:49Speaker 7: not to come 180 degrees on what I was counseling
- 51:53Speaker 7: Mark off of his email a half of an hour ago,
- 51:58Speaker 7: There is a concern of conservative justices retiring. If the
- 52:06Speaker 7: midterms go the wrong way, does Clarence Thomas hang on
- 52:17Speaker 7: for two more years, or does he step down, retire,
- 52:23Speaker 7: but then Trump is going to be forced to pick
- 52:29Speaker 7: a middle-of-the-road John Roberts type because the Senate, if he
- 52:34Speaker 7: doesn't have a majority in it, is going to have
- 52:37Speaker 7: to have an approval process. They'll basically tell Trump, here
- 52:42Speaker 7: are the Republican-sided jurists that we would approve for the
- 52:49Speaker 7: Supreme Court, and it changes it dramatically.
- 52:51Speaker 18: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
- 52:54Speaker 18: feels like even a family road trip is taking a risk.
- 52:57Speaker 18: We don't want the feeling of being unprotected and vulnerable.
