  Speaker 1: We'll do it live.

  Speaker 2: First thing today. Do it live. On the Talk Media
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll do it live.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Joe works hard to steal me up. Stands near every day.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:18
  Speaker 5: Drops a kid to school.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Yes, this is us live. Everything he dreamed of.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:26
  Speaker 6: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:29
  Speaker 7: He only aims.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Let me think about this a second or two.
• 0:35
  Speaker 8: Most everyone else isn't going to get a chance to
• 0:37
  Speaker 8: talk about this. Not until tomorrow when they come back
• 0:42
  Speaker 8: from the long weekend.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Which we've all earned.
• 0:46
  Speaker 8: Breaking rocks, we're out there doing it. So other folks,
• 0:52
  Speaker 8: other commentators will all have to try to digest the
• 0:56
  Speaker 8: weekend of peace, the Columbus Day Massacre. where the press
• 1:02
  Speaker 8: and the leftists, both in the Republican and Democratic Party,
• 1:06
  Speaker 8: were served up a big pile of barbecue crow over Russia, Ukraine, Iran,
• 1:17
  Speaker 8: you name it. It was fried up. President Trump there
• 1:21
  Speaker 8: at the barbecue grill, grilling up crow after crow after
• 1:26
  Speaker 8: crow for Danang Dick Blumenthal and Lisa Murkowski and Mark Warner.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: And Adam Schiff and Amy Klobuchar.
• 1:41
  Speaker 8: And everyone else that was endorsed for re-election by the
• 1:45
  Speaker 8: Islamic Republican Revolutionary Guard Corps. You know, the ones that
• 1:51
  Speaker 8: killed dissidents in the streets. Imagine what they're going to
• 1:53
  Speaker 8: do with us. If they get into power, you think
• 1:56
  Speaker 8: Merrick Garland is going to seem like a friend to
• 1:59
  Speaker 8: the conservative. Joel had another thought for us. Thank you
• 2:02
  Speaker 8: for hanging on, sir.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I still have one more question. No, no, that's, that's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: an extra $ 10. All right. All right. I'll let you
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: go on this one.
• 2:10
  Speaker 9: Go ahead.
• 2:11
  Speaker 10: It's for Dr.
• 2:12
  Speaker 11: Clark.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: You never, we never finished the controversy of where.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Does Appalachia start? Is it in Alabama or Georgia? Come on.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Appalachia is everywhere. you are Appalachia. I am Appalachia. Appalachia.
• 2:26
  Speaker 8: See, this is what Beth Macy running for Congress wanted.
• 2:31
  Speaker 8: She has set her up saying, well, never mind this
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: hillbilly elegy of J.D.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Vance. I am Appalachia. That's the thing.
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: They want us segregating ourselves. It's amazing to me, these
• 2:46
  Speaker 8: segregationists in the Democrat Party, they don't care about America
• 2:51
  Speaker 8: as long as they can silo us off and say
• 2:55
  Speaker 8: all those, and you talked about the beta test in COVID.
• 2:58
  Speaker 8: That was what was tested is how easily could we
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: convince you that your neighbors are your enemy? Because if
• 3:06
  Speaker 8: you believe your neighbors are your enemy, if your neighbors
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: are out to kill you with the machine gun that
• 3:11
  Speaker 8: is their mouthful of COVID germs, then we can convince
• 3:15
  Speaker 8: you of anything. And that separation is the long COVID
• 3:20
  Speaker 8: infection that we have to fix. My point is, it's
• 3:25
  Speaker 8: not that everybody should have a trophy, but America should
• 3:28
  Speaker 8: be first.
• 3:30
  Speaker 10: It is.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: As individuals within the country.
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: And I think you're seeing this in Trump's international policies
• 3:37
  Speaker 8: as well. You're seeing that he's saying, you know, listening
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: to Russia puts America first. Listening to Iran puts America first.
• 3:49
  Speaker 8: And to not realize that is a mistake.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Anyway, I've got to run, Joel. You have a great morning, sir.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: You too.
• 3:57
  Speaker 8: In our first things this morning, six senators, most of
• 4:01
  Speaker 8: the usual suspects, Tom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, all
• 4:05
  Speaker 8: complaining about getting diesel from Russia to try to make
• 4:09
  Speaker 8: gas prices come down some. They are saying that you
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: didn't ask first or whatever it is that's got them
• 4:15
  Speaker 8: bad out of shape, said we should immediately give the
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: oil back. Meanwhile, President Trump says it looks like at
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: very least there's an energy ceasefire where Russia and Ukraine
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: will stop hitting people's energy generation and distribution networks. Zelensky
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: said on X, we've discussed the energy ceasefire and we
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: back it up. Meanwhile, President Trump has pushed further towards
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: a ceasefire in Toto. and said that given the way
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: the war has gone on, perhaps Vladimir Zelensky needs to go.
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: This brought this response from Zelensky on ABC's This Week.
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: Please tell Putin, give us two months, 60 days of
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: total ceasefire, and we will organize elections. The administration also
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: told Zelensky that if you hit any more diesel-fueled distribution
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: networks as they had Friday, they imperil Ukraine's receipt of
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: NATO-backed U.S. weapons delivered to their war effort. Saudi Arabia
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: extended the closure of Riyadh's main international airport as Houthi
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: rebels using Russian missiles handed to them by Iran, just saying,
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: killed 12 people and wounded more than 300. Pope Leo's
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: had a tough go. He found a nodule in his
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: lungs not long after the Chicago White Sox were ousted
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: from the playoffs. This is far more serious, though the
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: papal news media says it was detected at a very
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: early stage and is localized and he's headed for surgery.
• 6:06

  Speaker 5: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Products on the market.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation has antioxidant
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: properties and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: at least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells, even
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57

• 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

  Speaker 14: personal information like your Social Security number or bank account
• 9:37
  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 1: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 15: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 15: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 15: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 15: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 15: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 15: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 15: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:18
  Speaker 15: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 15: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 15: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 15: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 15: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
• 10:33
  Speaker 15: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 15: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 15: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 15: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 15: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:48
  Speaker 15: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 15: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 15: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 16: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 15: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 16: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 16: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 8: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 17: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  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.
• 11:39
  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
• 12:00
  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: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 18: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 19: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 19: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 19: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 19: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:44
  Speaker 19: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:49
  Speaker 19: at maketheconnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans

• 13:12
  Speaker 2: News and analysis now without artificial colors. First thing today
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: by Joe Thomas on the talk media network.
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: So where is your thought on James Tallarico's missing? His
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: election day is a month. Now, Tallarico will fix that with,
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: you know, more liberal abortion, you know, Milford Pristone on
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: demand and.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: That kind of thing. So he's already working on that.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Or is he? That's what he said. But what do
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you make of... And there is.
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: See, I look at these stories and say, okay, there
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: is a bunch of things that all can be true
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: at the same time. Because flu, anyone who grew up
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: during the Cold War understands flu is code for his
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: last good marble fell out of his hand and we
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: have him in a hospital. Because you can then technically
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: say he's in this facility for treatment of something called
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: And so, you know, the Nick Sorter and Rain, is
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: it Reen or Rain? Rain, a mocker reports that hospital
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: employees had told them he was at the Lindner Center
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: for Hope, a psychiatric short-term treatment facility near Cincinnati, Ohio.
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: And by near Cincinnati, I mean Kentucky, which interestingly enough,
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: neither in Texas.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: Why if somebody like James Tallarico is all about public
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: health care, wasn't he seeking health care in public? You
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: ask that question, but you say, what kind of breakdown
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: would somebody have?
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And it's not.
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: About whether somebody's appropriate or not to represent you in
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: the U.S. Senate. It's It's what kind of things would
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: lend them to be manipulated so that they're not representing you.
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: They're representing people who know things about them. And that's
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: the bigger point of this. The same thing I said
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: about Clinton is Ken Starr failed us miserably because the
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: left managed to make him quit. He tried to quit
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: and they dragged him back in. Because it was just
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: going to completely collapse. And they made it all about
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: the blue dress. So much so. That Bill Clinton's official portrait.
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: In the hall of portraits. Of US presidents. Includes a
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: female figure. With a blue dress on in it. When
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: it wasn't the point all along. And I was just
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: a rock and roll disc jockey. And I could tell you.
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: I'm like what happened to. The impeaching his testimony. Because
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: the point of. catching Bill Clinton in a lie was
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: not to catch the fact that the president was having
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: a side hustle with one of his interns. It was
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: that he had a casual relationship with the truth. Because
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: much of the case about Whitewater, which was the case
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: where Bill and Hillary Clinton and their friends, the McDougals,
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: were using Bill's position as governor to make themselves money.
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: And I don't care what party you're in. At any
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: given moment, Democrats and Republicans alike will tell me that
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: using your office to make money, and Eugene Yevigny Vindman.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Is a great example of it.
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: He voted against a law that would prohibit Congress people
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: from making money based on the knowledge they gained as
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: a member of Congress. And then wrote an identical bill
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: and said, look at what I've made. So having a
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: casual relationship to the truth is, I don't know, one
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: of the, one of the prerequisites of this, you know,
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: how easily can you make something that isn't your belief,
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: your belief, or at least sound like it. And that's
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: why you see these folks who have drinking problems and
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: drug problems and almost seem borderline self-destructive sometimes. Dear friend
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: of mine who survived the crucible of American political governmental representation.
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: I remember visiting him. He had been in U.S. Congress
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: less than a year. And I said, you look tired, Robert.
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: And he said, Joe, this place is just wearing because
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: nobody ever gets anywhere. Yet everyone seems to get whatever
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: they want. And we just try to figure out how
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: we're going to pay for it later. And I've always
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: remembered that, that.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: You're performing in a role.
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: And I think there are people that just can't handle that.
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: And I think there are things that if this story
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: about Tallarico winding up in a mental facility is are true,
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: that he had some sort of mental breakdown, the strain
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: of keeping up an act for that long will do
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: that to you. I was thinking about this with a dear,
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: one of my oldest friends from my childhood, wonderful deacon
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: of his Catholic church, terrific human being, has said to
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: his brother on frequent occasions, having listened to our show online,
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: he can listen on 1490 WGCH now in that part
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: of Queens. That's got to be an act because Joe
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: doesn't believe those things that he says on the radio.
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: To which I responded with tongue in cheek, when was
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: I ever that good of an actor? But we were
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: talking about this at dinner last night. Next March will
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: mark the 40th anniversary of the first day I collected
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: a paycheck to do a radio show.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: 40 years.
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: And sure, some of it has been playing hot hits.
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: Some of it has been playing Hard Rock, some of
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: it has been doing talk news and analysis. And it's
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: been a constant growth. But it's always been me. The
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: only time I failed miserably in my career was when
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: I wasn't being me. I was trying to be somebody's character.
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: Flying a plane with the words, we don't do stuff
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: like that around here. That's not the way we do
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: things here. And I tried to conform because it was
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: a job and it was miserable and I was drinking
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: too much and I wasn't pleasant to be around. All
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: the things that, you know, it seems to be manifesting
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: with James Tallarico. So what things are he espousing? What
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: beliefs are he espousing that he doesn't believe in? What
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: parts of the act have made him go crazy, have
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: made him snap, have made him break under the yoke
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: of carrying a character that he doesn't believe in because
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: I want to know what he really believes in. And
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: maybe that was the problem. Maybe that's why he needed
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: a checkup from the neck up because he was getting
• 21:50
  Speaker 8: ready to tell people what he really believed in and
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: his political handlers couldn't handle that because it's hard enough
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: to get Texans to vote for a vegan metrosexual as
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: it is.
• 22:01
  Speaker 13: Hey, I'm Brant, and her name is Sherry.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Hello.
• 22:04
  Speaker 13: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 13: 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 1: MediShare.
• 22:13
  Speaker 20: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 13: Yeah, so what was your experience like with MediShare and
• 22:17
  Speaker 13: the healthcare bill?
• 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... It is refreshing. Yes,
• 22:34
  Speaker 20: that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 13: But I keep telling people, people love MediShare and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 13: 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 1: It is good different. Call now.

  Speaker 21: Hi, I'm Dr. Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary
• 23:04
  Speaker 21: Medical Association. Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping
• 23:10
  Speaker 21: veterinarians deliver better care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that
• 23:15
  Speaker 21: speed up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI
• 23:20
  Speaker 21: supports veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to
• 23:24
  Speaker 21: develop personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:30
  Speaker 21: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
• 23:34
  Speaker 21: on patients.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: But as with.
• 23:37
  Speaker 21: Any new technology, always keep a human in the loop
• 23:41
  Speaker 21: to maintain the.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Best pet healthcare. AI is a powerful tool.
• 23:46
  Speaker 21: But not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion, and judgment,

  Speaker 5: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin.

  Speaker 1: Products on the market.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer. or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells, even

• 26:34
  Speaker 18: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home

• 27:02
  Speaker 18: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 18: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.

• 28:13
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the talk media network.
• 28:17
  Speaker 10: They all laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: world was round. They all laughed when Edison recorded sound.
• 28:28
  Speaker 10: They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother when they
• 28:31
  Speaker 10: said that man could fly. They told Marconi wireless was
• 28:35
  Speaker 10: a phony. It's the same old cry. They laughed at
• 28:38
  Speaker 10: me wanting you.
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: So as we gather each morning and explore, and there's
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: a subtext to why they don't want Columbus dead. And
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: I know they like to talk about, oh, he's the
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: exploiter in chief.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: He started the whole expansion.
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: The Europeans came and took all the land from the
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: people that arrived here from Siberia and took all the land.
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: And or Samoa. I've seen some interesting things that Southern
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: California was settled by the Pacific Islanders. And who might
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: have been there first. And there are signs of battles
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: and weapons and things like that. So maybe there were
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: people there first. And we lose ourselves in this because
• 29:35
  Speaker 8: we want to live in the past, not in the now.
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: The now, they're busy with their own things, their own
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: agendas for the now, so they want you talking about
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: the then. But also, exploration means discovering. Exploration means finding things.
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: Exploration means discovering that there is some $ 5 pill or less,
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: $ 1 pill in our pharmacopoeia that kills this virus. And
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: then discovering quickly that that's a quick way to get
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: yourself on the ruination docket. Columbus didn't accept.
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: The standard operating procedure Columbus didn't accept the fact that
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: there was only one way to India so he said
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: let's go find out and does that mean everyone who
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: came after him was a good guy no because we
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: were still an unfinished product. We still hadn't, and I
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: don't think we still have, reached the point where we
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: understand that though the people we've arrived on their home
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: turf live differently than us, it works for them. Columbus
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: was one of the forebearers of a generation of Europeans who,
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: that insisted that if you didn't live like Europeans, you
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: were unintelligent, uncivilized, uncouth, unaware, uncapable. Even to the point
• 31:49
  Speaker 8: of saying to somebody like Alexander Hamilton, You can't be
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: the head of the Bank of England. You can't even
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: be part of the Bank of England because you were
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: born to English parents in the Bahamas, an English protectorate.
• 32:03
  Speaker 8: That's how racist they were, and they had no problem
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: using people who lived differently than they did as cheap labor,
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: as farm animals almost. And we haven't gotten a ton
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: better from what we know, but this is part and
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: parcel of why they don't want you talking about Columbus.
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: Because Columbus would indicate that you can go discover something,
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: and if you go discover something, you might discover that
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: we've been pretty bad to people, and there are specific
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: traits to the ones who dismiss entire swaths of a
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: population as being unfair. not unnecessary, unqualified for that role
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: or for that position in society. Look at what's happening
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: in India right now. Do you think that that just started?
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: India is the last vestiges of this strictured, structured British colonialism.
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: And look at what they managed to do to a
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: beautiful country like South Africa with its problems and by
• 33:30
  Speaker 8: promoting apartheid as long as they did, even the momentary
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: burst of Nelson Mandela on the scene didn't change the
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: fact that reparations were going to come due.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Not appropriate.
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: Nothing to do with what's happening today. And it's all
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: a self-aggrandizing scheme just like the woman that ran Black
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: Lives Matter made millions and millions of dollars for herself.
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: Nice work if you can get it. Because as Chris
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: Horner has said many times, rent seeking, the process of
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: looking for the government to pay you for things that
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: you want to do on your own is the world's
• 34:23
  Speaker 8: second oldest profession after And it's very similar to prostitution,
• 34:32
  Speaker 8: perhaps without the walk of shame the next morning. And
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: this ties into Tallarico because we're looking for, and you
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: have to watch for, corruptibility. Ironically, this is what they
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: keep saying about Ken Paxton in Texas, is.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: That he's corrupt.
• 34:52
  Speaker 10: Correct.
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: That he's beholden to people, he's going to wind up
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: not going along. And a lot of this is being
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: said by Republicans. He's on the take. What if it's Tallarico?
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: And what if it's not? Because Tallarico has moderated a lot.
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: His wife is an activist, a government health care activist
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: and lobbyist for single payer. What if moderating his positions
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: on these things had just gotten to the point of
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: being too much? And he snapped because he'd come home
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: from the campaign trail and there's his wife on the
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: other pillow giving him grief about moderating on health care
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: and single payer and Bernie Sanders said this, and Bernie
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: Sanders said that, and Zorhan Mamdani is doing this, then
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: why can't you be more like these guys? I'm just saying,
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: what are the reasons? And then what does that indicate
• 36:06
  Speaker 8: in the Texas Senate race? Maybe it was the Islamic
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: Revolutionary Guard Corps saying, vote Democrat, or words to that.
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: Vote for anyone, really. because he endorsed Lisa Murkowski as well,
• 36:24
  Speaker 8: vote for anyone that would not allow Trump to keep
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: doing what he's doing. Funny, President Perzikian hanging out with
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: President Putin, who's now said, we're ready to come to
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: the table. And I got this email from Mary, who
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: heard us talking earlier about exposing the world to.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Americanism.
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: When you expose the world to what it is to
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: be a free market, capitalism loving American, free to do
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: as you please, as long as you don't harm someone else.
• 37:05
  Speaker 8: And it's a really, this is what makes me so
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: frustrated is it's such a simple concept. But what about corruption, Joe? Well,
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: you're not supposed to give other people control of your life.
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: So therefore, corruption's handled. There's no reason to corrupt somebody
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: in government. They can't do anything for anyone. But as
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: soon as you start giving them the power to do things, well,
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: then you're going to get what you're going to get.
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: We can fix it all. We have to make Americans
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: great again. which is pretty straightforward because I think when
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: confronted with the reality, we all say, oh, these things
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: are obvious, and maybe Tallarico didn't see that, and that's
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: where he snapped.
• 38:01
  Speaker 13: Life can change so fast. Abruptly, just ask Paul. He's
• 38:05
  Speaker 13: a hardworking entrepreneur. He's young. He's got a young family. Suddenly, though,
• 38:09
  Speaker 13: he develops a rare medical condition where he lost the
• 38:12
  Speaker 13: use of both of his arms.
• 38:14
  Speaker 23: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer,
• 38:16
  Speaker 23: couldn't type, couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold
• 38:18
  Speaker 23: my son, who was about a month old.
• 38:20
  Speaker 13: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
• 38:23
  Speaker 13: but they're so thankful that they're members of MediShare.
• 38:27
  Speaker 23: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does MediShare
• 38:29
  Speaker 23: really work? I'm living proof that it works. My four
• 38:33
  Speaker 23: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
• 38:36
  Speaker 23: have been healed, are living proof that MediShare works. Just
• 38:39
  Speaker 23: knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
• 38:42
  Speaker 23: are going to be taken care of when we have
• 38:44
  Speaker 23: some type of medical problem, that is such a huge

  Speaker 7: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 20: Shh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 7: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: And with every item you buy, you fund local job

  Speaker 7: training and more. So go forth, bring home those donut earrings,
• 40:48
  Speaker 7: and bring home so much good to your community. Goodwill,
• 40:55
  Speaker 7: bring good home.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: Exercise is hard, so is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41

• 43:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 27: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  Speaker 27: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42
  Speaker 27: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

  Speaker 2: We didn't make talk radio. We made it better. First
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:26
  Speaker 9: 73 men sailed up from the San Francisco Bay. Rolled
• 44:33
  Speaker 9: off of their ship and here's what they had to say.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: Where's the cheeseburgers?
• 44:40
  Speaker 9: Calling everyone to ride along to another shore. We can
• 44:49
  Speaker 9: laugh our lives away and be free once more.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes. The hippie call.
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: And I'm bringing this up not just because of the
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: kind of Colombian arc that leads it, but Kareem sent
• 45:06
  Speaker 8: this to me. The World Democracy Index is out, and U.S.
• 45:13
  Speaker 8: is fifth worst, most disliked.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Nation.
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: Top five are number one most unpopular countries, according to
• 45:27
  Speaker 8: this Democracy Perception Index. And understand, they're not talking about democracy.
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: They're talking about perception. This is a media survey. Why
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: do they do it? Because it works. So, number one
• 45:42
  Speaker 8: on the hit parade, Israel, followed by North Korea, Afghanistan, Iran,
• 45:55
  Speaker 8: and the U.S. Now, it's important to understand who the
• 46:00
  Speaker 8: top of the list is. the most well-regarded countries, Switzerland, Canada, Japan, Sweden, Italy.
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: And there's a reason, there's a commonality to all these
• 46:19
  Speaker 8: things because it's live-action role-play.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: It's freedom-ish. It's freedom-adjacent.
• 46:33
  Speaker 8: It's the ultimate manifestation of you didn't build that, but
• 46:41
  Speaker 8: for the time being, you can use it. These are
• 46:43
  Speaker 8: all the countries that are the fruit of this World
• 46:49
  Speaker 8: Economic Forum agenda of you will own nothing and you
• 46:54
  Speaker 8: will love it. You'll own nothing. This was an actual
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: video produced by the World Economic Forum promoting the idea
• 47:07
  Speaker 8: of owning nothing, owning nothing, and being happy. There's a
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: common phrase out there, make 1984 fiction again. And there
• 47:27
  Speaker 8: are those who study comparative literature, and there is always
• 47:34
  Speaker 8: this idea of like, well, which is it going to be,
• 47:36
  Speaker 8: 1984 or Brave New World?
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: And I read a.
• 47:39
  Speaker 8: Piece a couple of years ago that said that it's
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: not one or the other. It's Brave New World precedes 1984.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: 1984.
• 47:55
  Speaker 8: So first we all kind of get into this hippie
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: world where everything is taken care of us and we
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: just do the things that we need to do as
• 48:05
  Speaker 8: they are assigned to us and we're happy. And then
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: inevitably some dissatisfaction starts and that's when you wind up
• 48:15
  Speaker 8: in the world of 1984 and perhaps even Fahrenheit 451.
• 48:30
  Speaker 8: Because how could you possibly be against the people who
• 48:33
  Speaker 8: are giving you everything? And here's the thing about that.
• 48:37
  Speaker 8: Can we go back to the blue cheer for a
• 48:40
  Speaker 8: moment and talk about it?
• 48:42
  Speaker 19: There it is.
• 48:43
  Speaker 9: There it is right there.
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: Be free once more.
• 48:46
  Speaker 6: What are you?
• 48:47
  Speaker 9: Young fellow with the hair colored yellow.
• 49:00
  Speaker 8: What exactly are you not free to do? You're a
• 49:06
  Speaker 8: moderately famous or at least well-regarded rock singer. You and
• 49:13
  Speaker 8: the rest of blues image pull into town and the
• 49:17
  Speaker 8: groupies line up and who knows what happens after the show.
• 49:22
  Speaker 8: You're just going to go out there and ride, Captain,
• 49:24
  Speaker 8: ride all the way to the bank. So what are
• 49:26
  Speaker 8: you not free to do? Oh, that's right. You have
• 49:30
  Speaker 8: to get up in the morning and go make money
• 49:33
  Speaker 8: so that you can pay for things. And that's it.
• 49:38
  Speaker 8: That's the siren song of the World Economic Forum. All
• 49:42
  Speaker 8: of us excess consumers are going to be herded into
• 49:47
  Speaker 8: places where we will be told what it is we
• 49:50
  Speaker 8: can do, when we can do it, and in exchange,
• 49:58
  Speaker 8: they will provide domicile. It is what China is doing currently.
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: Go to the factory when we tell you to. And
• 50:08
  Speaker 8: there is a reasonable argument that our cronyist world of
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: no choices or diminishing, dwindling choices of employ rather than
• 50:20
  Speaker 8: and growing costs because the government and its brilliance have
• 50:32
  Speaker 8: determined that They can decide what you should deserve better
• 50:40
  Speaker 8: than you should. Management of resources. We only have so
• 50:45
  Speaker 8: many places to live, but we should make sure you
• 50:48
  Speaker 8: all have one. And that's what these places like, you know,
• 50:52
  Speaker 8: you look at the top of this. And these are
• 50:58
  Speaker 8: all these world economic.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: Canada.
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: Canada.
• 51:02
  Speaker 8: Carney is the Alexander Hamilton of the 21st century. He
• 51:08
  Speaker 8: was the head of the Bank of Canada. Then he
• 51:11
  Speaker 8: was the head of the Bank of England, all the
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: while being an up-and-coming golden boy of the World Economic Forum.
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: And there is a reasonable voice that'll come in and say,
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: but Joe, we don't really own anything anyway, because when
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: we pass away, it's not ours anymore. We're That's not
• 51:39
  Speaker 8: the point. The point is sovereignty in the now. Do
• 51:45
  Speaker 8: you want to be free to live as you want,
• 51:47
  Speaker 8: or do you want to be free from obligation? And
• 51:51
  Speaker 8: that's the secret. That's the leftist and the con game
• 51:55
  Speaker 8: they play when Bernie Sanders, I'm here to make sure
• 51:59
  Speaker 8: you're all free. Oh, well, he's talking about freedom. His
• 52:03
  Speaker 8: freedom means freedom from responsibility. Freedom from.
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: Want.
• 52:14
  Speaker 8: Freedom from desire. And it will fail. It fails every time.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: I know Dr.
• 52:21
  Speaker 8: Clark says communism always succeeds. It always succeeds to do
• 52:26
  Speaker 8: what its promoters want. It never succeeds in delivering what
• 52:31
  Speaker 8: the citizens that helped get them there were expecting. Do
• 52:38
  Speaker 8: we have to go through this cycle of tyranny again?
• 52:41
  Speaker 8: Have a great Columbus Day. Enjoy the day. And until tomorrow,
• 52:47
  Speaker 8: so long. And thanks for all the fish.
• 52:51
  Speaker 11: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:54
  Speaker 11: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 13: It was MediShare that came through for us. And there
• 52:59
  Speaker 13: was no hassles.
• 53:00
  Speaker 8: There was no problem.
