  Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Happy Ted's Day as we wrap up September of 2026
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: with our Tedness in full display. Thank you for letting
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: me be of service to you. The radio show that
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: tells you what went on last night and then wants
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to find out how it's impacting you, where you are. Well, yeah,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I guess we should. Since everyone is saying it's just.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: So the.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the militia, not the Iranian army,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: but the militia that was set up by the mullahs
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to protect them from the citizens of Iran. And you
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: want to talk about the weaponization of government. Come to
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Tehran with us and visit. Sunny Tehran. Beautiful this time
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of year. that this thug squad, this secret policeman's other
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: balls that guard the mullahs and no one else. So
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: they're only there to protect the council of experts and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Ayatollah Jr. in whatever closet they have him hiding in.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Sent a letter to American press saying, asking them if
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: they would run news stories telling American voters to go
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: out and vote against Donald Trump. I'm not kidding. Not kidding. Oh,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: why would I make that up to you? So while
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: they're insisting that American voters speak out against those who
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: would do things to this sweet, peace-loving community of nothing
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: more than climate activists in your name. Strike a blow
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: against him on behalf of the IRGC. It's a fun
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: world we live in, and the neat thing is you
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: and I get to chronicle it each morning here, but man,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: When I saw this story, we'll get further into it,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: but yes, the Iranian Republican Guard Corps is trying to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: sway the election of the midterms. Tom Drops Bombs was
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: on just a couple of weeks back saying, hey, the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Iranians have calendars. And I believe they look at the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: same sundial that we do. But our first things this
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Ted Steve morning, Florida is moving to bar illegal immigrants
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: from taxpayer-funded trade and career schools. Funny, one would have
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: thought there might have been a law against that on
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the books. This would expand the state's restrictions on public education.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Florida's State Board of Education approved a rule requiring applicants
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: to prove that they're U.S. citizens or lawfully in the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: country before certain post-secondary career and technical education programs become
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: available to them. U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday is allowing the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: administration to continue deporting non-citizens to countries other than their
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: own for now, while the justices consider whether the policy,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: based on the fact that these folks were seeking asylum
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: from the countries they were born in, would be legal.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: The IRS has drafted a Form 1040, their federal tax
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: return for next year, that would ask filers to check
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: yes or no to this question. At the time you
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: file your return, are you and your spouse, if filing jointly,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national, or alien lawfully authorized
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to work in the U.S.? Again... One would presume that
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: would have been already a question asked. President Trump Tuesday
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: unveiled an artificial intelligence-powered website designed to give Americans a
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: single entry point for navigating federal government information and services,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: if not indicating that the federal government has too much
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: authority and has too many tendrils into our lives already.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: You can go to america.org. and get your AI on.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Speaking of AI, leaders of several of the largest AI
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: companies visited President Trump at the White House and came
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: out with a document that is an accord on AI
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that will have companies partnering with external auditors to carry
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: out independent assessments of whether the company's AI-controlled monitoring systems
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: We're operating as intended. And those are some of our
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: first things this morning. Yes, we here on First Thing Today,

  Speaker 11: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 9:37
  Speaker 11: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 9:41
  Speaker 11: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that

• 9:53
  Speaker 11: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example

• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: It's a dirty radio trick, isn't it? Although I can't
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: say testimonially if Senator Kennedy was... grilling me like you
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: don't know Jack Smith. I can't swear that Ted Nugent
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: never performed with Vince Vance and the Valiants. But I mean, certainly,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: you know, two out of our three musical accompanists in
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: this segment are already members of the New Orleans slash
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Louisiana Music Hall of Fame, so rock on, and our
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: friends at WGSO down there loving them. But herein lies
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: a great point. Terry writes in, listening to us this
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: morning in, is that Chicago? I guess it is, Evanston, Illinois.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: A tough day for, I guess, you know, it's an upside-downside. See,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: this is what happens when the Pope is a White
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Sox fan, is the Cubs get blanked badly in San Diego.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Does San Diego even make the playoffs? When did that happen?
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I thought San Diego was behind everyone. They got their
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: swerve on, and the Cubs took it on the chin.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: The White Sox, they've got the Pope on their rope,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: so be careful of the Southsiders there. But Terry writes in, Joe,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: what the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps needs. I think it's
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Islamic Revolutionary, whatever, the IRGC. What they really need is
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a good political action committee. Any of the Democrat Party
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: PACs not doing anything right now? Does George Soros have
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Ayatollah Jr. 's number? I'll bet you, I'll bet you
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: George can call. Of all the people who can call
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Ayatollah Jr. in whatever closet they have him securely protected
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: in right now, hidden away, hidden away so that the
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: bombers and the missile launchers can't target him. Wherever he is,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he has phone service, at very least, you know,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Starlink or something like that. And they were able to
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: call George Soros. I mean, he's funding Abdul El-Sayed's campaign.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Why not, right? How much of a stretch further would
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: it be? Get to more of your texts here. Plenty
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: to get into on this Ted's Day morning. But our
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: friends at jcsgold.com. Gold, silver is still kind of at
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: that plateau. Last time I checked at jcsgold.com. But here's
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the important point. And I missed this earlier in the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: ad we did for them. This is a family business,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: unlike all these other places with quotas and call sheets
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: and bosses overlooking you and whatnot, shareholders and whatnot. This
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: is a family. You can talk to all of them
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: if you want. Call 434-979-COIN. James, our friend on the
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: phone here, is usually busy. packing boxes, the Luck family's
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: version of Cinderella. But he is here for us now
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: to tell us how gold and silver are doing. Good morning, James.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: How are you, sir?
• 16:59
  Speaker 21: I'm doing well, Joe. And gold and silver are mixed
• 17:02
  Speaker 21: so far this morning. Both metals still trying to find
• 17:05
  Speaker 21: some support. Gold is just in the green, about two-tenths
• 17:10
  Speaker 21: of a percent, up about $ 6 to $ 4, 000. one hundred
• 17:13
  Speaker 21: and eighty eight dollars, trying to see if it can
• 17:16
  Speaker 21: get above forty two hundred and stay there and really
• 17:20
  Speaker 21: find some support here. Silver is down about one percent
• 17:24
  Speaker 21: to sixty dollars and eighty eight cents, really finding support
• 17:28
  Speaker 21: there at that sixty dollar level and which a lot
• 17:31
  Speaker 21: of our clients are seeing. This is a great buying
• 17:33
  Speaker 21: opportunity in silver because the prospects for silver hasn't hasn't
• 17:37
  Speaker 21: changed over the past six months over the summer. silver
• 17:41
  Speaker 21: is still in high, high demand and the price is
• 17:44
  Speaker 21: at a discount. A lot of people are taking advantage
• 17:45
  Speaker 21: of that.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: A listener pointed out yesterday after we spoke, because I
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: think I had mentioned the pound sterling had been for
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: probably a century or more, had been the just accepted
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: exchange currency prior to World War II, and was asked
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: if that meant it was backed by silver, if not gold.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: And I said, I believe that it was the point
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: was that they they were their economy was based on
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: a silver certificate, even more so than gold, showing the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: importance of that particular precious metal. Right, James?
• 18:21
  Speaker 21: That's exactly right. Yeah, that used to be backed by
• 18:24
  Speaker 21: by silver, the pound sterling there. Many, many years ago.
• 18:29
  Speaker 21: And then, of course, the dollar took over dominance basically
• 18:34
  Speaker 21: when everything stopped being backed by.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Everything was bombed to the Stone Age. We're going to
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: party like it's 1699. There was some Mort Sahl's joke.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I forget the German joke. Von Braun, Werner Von Braun's
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: autobiography is I Shoot for the Stars. And Mort Sahl's
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: joke was, yeah, but sometimes I hit London. And so, yeah,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: and he understood, you know, and actually there was a
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: point because of the strength of silver, James, if I'm
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: not mistaken, about a year, maybe two years ago, where
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the British pound on the global currency market was stronger
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: than the U.S. dollar was. And I thought that was
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: notable because everyone talks about all these other– the yuan
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: and the ruble and whatnot. But here's the old pound
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: sterling note coming back and actually having a little strength
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: post-Brexit and all that. So those things are interesting to
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: keep an eye on. And one of those things that
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: you chart at jcsgold.com, it's not just gold, silver but gold,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: silver versus currencies and things like that, right?
• 19:54
  Speaker 21: Yeah, that's exactly right. And you can see there that
• 19:57
  Speaker 21: gold and silver compared to the Dow or the S
• 20:01
  Speaker 21: & P or even the price of oil. And you
• 20:03
  Speaker 21: can zoom out and really see how those trends have
• 20:06
  Speaker 21: taken shape over the past couple of years, especially the
• 20:10

  Speaker 1: believe me just because I say so. So wistfully thinking
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: as we were talking to James about Terry's comment that
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: what the IRGC needs is a good political action committee.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: What would that ad sound like? In a world.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Where the needs of the few have been ignored by
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the many. One man stands in the way.
• 21:18

• 22:07
  Speaker 7: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: And here we come. So 434-882-4217, the impacts of today's
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: news and any day's news can be heard and dissected here.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: All voices disagree with me or not. This one kind
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: of on an abstract, not specifically off of one of
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: our stories here, but to a degree. You know, when
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: the IRGC is out there trying to influence our elections like,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: you know, some George Soros pack. Everything short of a
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: campaign ad. In a world where religious freedom is being challenged,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: where our ability to stone women in the town square
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: is being infringed, where our ability to hang dissidents on
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Main Street is being challenged, where our ability to punish
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: the infidel has been challenged, you can change the course.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Vote no. Vote against any radicals that believe that Israel
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: is an appropriate state. Vote against any candidates that support
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: the Jewish community. Vote in favor of the Enlightened Vote
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: in favor of those who tell women to stop tempting
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: us with their looks. Vote yes for those who would
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: seek to keep education only in the hands of a few.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Vote no against any of Donald Trump's candidates this November.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: The preceding was paid for by the IRGC PAC. and
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: the get the Ayatollah out of the closet fund. But
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: in that world, this question I think does bear some point.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: It came in a couple of days ago and I
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: held on to it because I thought it was a
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: good conversation point because it's a reminder that I fail
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: you sometimes. Because there are talk show hosts that drive
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: me crazy because they seem like
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: But here's why. So at
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: one point, I mentioned the fact that as a commonly
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: held point on this program, that this is not a
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: new war with Iran. This is perhaps the oldest war
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: in American history, a war that began with the Barbary pirates,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: the Barbary corsairs, depending on whose spin you're reading. And
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Jenny writes in, I heard you mention that this is
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: a war that's been going on for 240 years. Joe,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: just a quick point. You may not know this, that
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: the Barbary pirates were sailing out of Tripoli, which is
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: not in Iran. Well, Terry, I appreciate that. And Jenny,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you looking out. But the point I was
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: making is that they were radical Islamists. They were radical
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Islamists then. and they're radical Islamists now. So they may
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: have moved their nexus of evil, but their radical use
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: of theology to authorize the murder of innocent people, and again,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: this goes back, you know, their political action committee paid
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: for by the IRGC PAC. Their political action committee, the
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: people who wrote these letters to the Associated Press and
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: the New York Times, who will all gleefully publish them
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: on the same pages they published the Unabomber's manifesto, is
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: the same attitude. We can do this to you because
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: you are not of the body. You have not met
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Landrieu yet. for our Star Trek fans. You are the infidel.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: We can kill you. We can steal from you. They've
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: just moved from Tripoli to Tehran. That was the point
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I was making, just for clarity's sake, and I don't
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: want to belabor because we do say it frequently there.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: So lots more to get into. We're going to head
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: back to You Don't Know Jack Smith for those who
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: have texted me saying, did you see the hearings? Did
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: you know Jack Smith was on? Yeah, we know. We
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: spent a We spent a good deal of time on
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: the subject earlier, and we'll get back to some of
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the fun and frolic. Folks lining up just outside want
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: to get down here at the Love Shack this morning.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Good morning. Who's this?
• 34:02
  Speaker 27: Hey, this is Moscow Bob.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Hey, Bob. Hang on the line. I've got line one here,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: and I just wanted to get you. You're just ringing
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: in here, so let me get line one. Good morning.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: You're on the air first thing this morning with Joe.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Who's this?
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: Hey, Joe.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: It's Clark.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: What's going on, Clark? What's on your mind?
• 34:20
  Speaker 12: Well, first things first. That's the way you like to
• 34:23
  Speaker 12: do it.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it's a good name for a show,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: don't you think?
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 34:28
  Speaker 12: We needed somebody from the Charlie Daniels band at J6, Joe.
• 34:32
  Speaker 9: Why is that?
• 34:34
  Speaker 12: They could have gone, let's see. You may not know it,
• 34:38
  Speaker 12: but these men are spies. They're agents for the FBI.
• 34:42
  Speaker 12: Sit down to infiltrate the MAGA plan. they may look dumb,
• 34:47
  Speaker 12: but that's just a disguise. They're masterminds in the ways
• 34:50
  Speaker 12: of espionage. They're friends of them pink-headed shrieking hags. They've
• 34:57
  Speaker 12: even got commie flags tattooed on the inside of their
• 35:00
  Speaker 12: upper thighs.
• 35:02
  Speaker 22: Wow.
• 35:02
  Speaker 12: So that would have been a way to go with that.
• 35:07
  Speaker 20: You know, on the phone.
• 35:08
  Speaker 12: Calls with Jack Smith, that's not cool. But what disturbs
• 35:12
  Speaker 12: me more than that, Joe, is at least 4,782 checks
• 35:21
  Speaker 12: written by mainly small donor contributors to Donald Trump. He
• 35:28
  Speaker 12: had that in his, they got that. And I don't know,
• 35:32
  Speaker 12: did you send Donald Trump a campaign contribution? Because if
• 35:35
  Speaker 12: you did, Jack Smith was in your bank account.
• 35:39
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: And people wonder what I mean by weaponization of government.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I was just asked about the fund, and if it
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: wasn't set up, what was the text message? I don't
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: want to misquote the text message on the question, but here,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: hang on one second here. Okay, so this was the text.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm mistaken. The $ 1. 776 billion settlement was
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: for damages to Donald J.
• 36:11
  Speaker 22: Trump.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: No, he was going to get way more than that.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: He said in lieu of giving him personal settlements, set
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: up this fund and make it open to anyone. And
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: this is the thing people forget is the weaponization of
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: government fund was not just for J6 people or for
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Michael Cohen or for Vinnie Goombatz in the administration, some
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: low-level lackey. This was for anyone. If you're a part
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: of the Southern Poverty Law Center and decided that the
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: government was surveilling you inappropriately, you could have tapped into
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: this fund.
• 36:50
  Speaker 12: And the irony there is they were inappropriately surveilling for
• 36:54
  Speaker 12: the government.
• 36:55
  Speaker 22: Isn't that funny?
• 36:56
  Speaker 25: Yeah.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, when the government believes its existence is
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: more important than your freedoms, that's what you're going to get.
• 37:05
  Speaker 12: So, you know, when they could not successfully get Donald Trump,
• 37:10
  Speaker 12: They just go for the support base.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 37:12
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: That's classic. I mean, that is classic. You know, we
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: can't get you because we have nothing on you, but
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: we can make everyone stop supporting you because nobody wants
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: a dossier at the FBI headquarters. Well, make the process
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: the punishment. Anyway, Dr. Clark, I appreciate it, sir. You
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: have an awesome morning down there. How's the chestnut trees going?
• 37:37
  Speaker 12: You know, I measured one the other day. I got
• 37:39
  Speaker 12: a 10-footer in less than a year, Joe.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Good deal.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Good deal.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: It's a good part of Alabama for chestnut trees then,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: I guess. And let me know when the first harvests
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: come there this morning. We'll find out what Bob in

  Speaker 7: Hi, I'm Dr.

  Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 39:24
  Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is

  Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 39:33

• 40:13
  Speaker 16: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 40:17
  Speaker 16: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 40:21

• 40:29
  Speaker 16: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 40:33
  Speaker 16: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 40:38
  Speaker 16: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,

  Speaker 16: enforcement arm the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
• 40:54
  Speaker 16: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Hi, everybody.
• 40:59
  Speaker 26: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 41:01
  Speaker 26: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 41:05
  Speaker 26: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 41:06
  Speaker 26: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 41:09
  Speaker 26: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Who work hard to provide for their young.
• 41:14
  Speaker 26: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 41:18
  Speaker 26: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 41:21
  Speaker 26: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 41:23
  Speaker 26: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
• 41:26
  Speaker 26: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
• 41:29
  Speaker 26: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 41:32
  Speaker 26: they also perform life-saving work every day. Dogs keep us
• 41:35
  Speaker 26: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 41:38
  Speaker 26: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 41:41
  Speaker 26: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 41:44
  Speaker 26: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
• 41:47
  Speaker 26: and help those in need. So please join me and
• 41:49
  Speaker 26: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
• 41:52
  Speaker 26: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go
• 41:55
  Speaker 26: to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.

  Speaker 19: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 42:01
  Speaker 25: Oh, yeah?
• 42:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 42:04
  Speaker 20: And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 19: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 15: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 42:15
  Speaker 19: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 8: Love that guy.
• 42:21
  Speaker 9: Me too.
• 42:21
  Speaker 17: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 42:24
  Speaker 17: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 42:29
  Speaker 28: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 42:31
  Speaker 28: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 42:35
  Speaker 28: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 28: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:42
  Speaker 28: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 42:46
  Speaker 28: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 42:52
  Speaker 28: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 42:55
  Speaker 28: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 42:59
  Speaker 28: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 43:01
  Speaker 28: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 43:04
  Speaker 28: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 43:08
  Speaker 28: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 43:11
  Speaker 28: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 43:15
  Speaker 28: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:26
  Speaker 22: They're back.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Hope he didn't have comorbidities.
• 44:50
  Speaker 9: That's right.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: If that's scratch fever, don't go to the wet market.
• 44:59
  Speaker 25: Is it really safe and is it really effective?
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Well, we are.
• 45:03
  Speaker 22: We are.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: We are. We have all the stickers. all the advertising
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: stickers that you can pay the U S government for,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: you know, grade a farm, fresh half baked, you know,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: all the, the, the things that you look for organic, uh,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: mostly grass fed. No, no, that would be, there were
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: times in my life where I felt like I was
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: mostly grass fed, but it wasn't legal. Then, uh, just
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: saw a story. Speaking of a grass fed, uh, guy, um,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: was in prison for life for killing a guy, paying
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: to have a guy killed. They owed $ 60, 000 to in
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: drug deals. Apparently at one point, a bunch of 19
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: year olds were the drug kingpins of Northern Virginia. And
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: I've read the whole story about how he just got
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: out of prison because his partner in the drug gang
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: recanted his story that he had been asked to and
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: paid to knock off this other conspirator there. And his
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: statement upon walking out, he said, I just want to
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: get on with my life because I was in jail
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: for doing something you can buy in the store now,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: because he was selling weed. And yeah, but we didn't
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: grandfather the weed laws in. If it was illegal when
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: you did it, it's still illegal. You still broke the law.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: And this is the moral equivalencies that make me chuckle
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: sometimes is that we will say, well, it's legal now. Yeah,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: but it was against the law when you did it.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: And we've lost the ability to have, I think, honest
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: conversations about breaking the law as it stands. And I
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: think a lot of it is fairly that the government
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: is writing too many laws, again, referencing Harvey Silverglate's marvelous book,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: Three Felonies a Day. But that's something we can fix.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: We just need better Congress to do that, starting with
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: the repeal of the 1929 Permanent Reapportionment Act. And I
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: should get Democrat support for this because Democrats tell me
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: about how they're all anti-racist. I should call Ibram Kendi
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: and say, hey, Ibram, remember me? I was the guy
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: who was a pain in your ass when you came
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: down to shoot a promo video in Charlottesville and 11
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: of my neighbors all went, you're so great. I'm sorry
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: about being racist. And I said, no. Should call him
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: and say, listen, help me get rid of this 1929
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: permanent reapportionment act. And here's why. You want to talk
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: about racism, Harry? I mean, Ibram. Anyway, Bob was on
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: the phone with us at 434-882-4217. Back in the old days,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: this was an expensive call from Russia. Thanks for holding, Bob.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: What's on your mind, sir?
• 48:16
  Speaker 27: Hey, my question for you is, all these Iranians that
• 48:19
  Speaker 27: are in this country, in America, for political asylum that
• 48:26
  Speaker 27: were out-demanded, for the Ayatollah, shouldn't every one of them, asylum,
• 48:32
  Speaker 27: be revoked and send them back?
• 48:34
  Speaker 22: Because they're praising and cheering for the Ayatollah.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: The oppressor? Where did you see a protest in favor
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: of the Ayatollah?
• 48:48
  Speaker 22: I think all over the United States there's been some
• 48:51
  Speaker 22: inner protests of that. Not just now, but over the
• 48:55
  Speaker 22: past years.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: I'll have to check because, I mean, if they sought
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: asylum from persecution in Iran and now they're saying, but
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: we love the Ayatollah, they've hit their head or something
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: or they're off their meds. But, yeah, I have not
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: seen that. There may be Iranians who are patriotic. for,
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: as many of these protests are paid for and organized
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: by people to make it seem like Iranians. I mean,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: I ran into a bunch of them when we were
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: down at CPAC in Texas. There are Iranians that are
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: on many different sides as to what should come after
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: the Ayatollah, but I have not seen anyone out there
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: saying Ayatollah Jr. needs to come out of the closet. Or,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, wherever he's hiding.
• 49:51
  Speaker 22: Yeah, the closet's the best place, you might say. No,
• 49:57
  Speaker 22: there's that anti-American and all the terrorists, and we don't
• 50:02
  Speaker 22: know who's gotten into our country, the cells that are
• 50:06
  Speaker 22: in our country, and That's what I'm curious about. If
• 50:11
  Speaker 22: Homeland Security or the FBI are looking into those that
• 50:15
  Speaker 22: are here that might demonstrate on the college campuses when
• 50:18
  Speaker 22: all those protests were going on, that's involving their asylum.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: Right. That's a great point, Bob. I will poke into
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: that because, like I said, I had not seen that.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean it hasn't happened.
• 50:35
  Speaker 28: Right.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: All right. Okay.
• 50:36
  Speaker 22: Hey, have a great day.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: You too, sir. Bye-bye.
• 50:43
  Speaker 18: In Iran, we don't have homosexuals like in your country.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Of course, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is in prison right now. And
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: I wonder if being in Iranian prison and you're the
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: former president, do you have the same issue with dropping
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: the soap? that you would anyway i mean he this
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: was columbia university what was it um 2007 he said.
• 51:13
  Speaker 18: This we don't have homosexuals like in your.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Country they have they have this fatal case of gravity
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: poisoning uh in our country anyway four three four hey
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: you know what if you can't Yes, it's a cheap shot.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: We're paying a lot for gas, so you know what?
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: We have to look for cheap shots somewhere because we're paying...
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: It's expensive gasoline, so the shots become cheaper. I don't know.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: He never came on to me, but I mean, that's
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: the story out of, you know, wherever they've got Ayatollah Jr.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: held up is that, you know... What was the film? Braveheart. Braveheart,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: where Longshank's son is... not of the procreating mindset. And
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: then Longshanks goes Iranian on him, throws him out of
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: a window, throws his boyfriend out the window, doesn't he?
• 52:18
  Speaker 8: Trouble with Scottsville is it's full of Scots.

• 52:28
