• 0:13
  Speaker 4: And we'll do it live.
• 0:15
  Speaker 5: Joe works at.
• 0:16
  Speaker 6: A steel mill. He's damn near every day. Including Saturday.
• 0:20
  Speaker 6: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:22
  Speaker 7: Drops the kids to school and all the work.
• 0:25
  Speaker 8: Joe has everything he dreamed of. All the treasures that
• 0:28
  Speaker 8: he needs.
• 0:29
  Speaker 9: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:33
  Speaker 10: He only aims to please you.
• 0:38
  Speaker 6: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 0:40
  Speaker 6: this morning. It's like having the FBI raid you right
• 0:47
  Speaker 6: before you have a big election. Isn't it ironic? Don't
• 0:53
  Speaker 6: you think? As my latest column for the Daily Signal
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: evokes the imagery of dear, sweet, retiring Alanis, You have
• 1:04
  Speaker 6: to say right before a midterm election to have your
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: most powerful Democrat turn herself in to the FBI. It's
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: a time. And the interesting thing is she's not helping herself.
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: We speak of Virginia, our flagship state's highest ranking, most
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: powerful Democrat. Apologies to Governor Spanberger. Louise Lucas. who for
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: three decades has held court in both the House and
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: the Senate, has quite a skeleton's closet, runs the Democrat
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: Party like a machine. Funny, that word pops up again. And,
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: you know, has all the law enforcement and everyone in
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: her home district wired. People are threatened.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Don't don't.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: Make a wrong turn in my neighborhood. It's like Chicago
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: all over again. And dealing in marijuana and getting marijuana
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: laws passed to make herself wealthier, she's like Virginia's own
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: Nancy Pelosi. So exciting. But that's just some of the
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: fun and frolic. Apparently, Abdul El-Sayed not only takes foreign...
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: donations to his campaign, as our friends at Project Veritas
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: or O'Keefe Media Group have proven. He takes a lot
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: of them from members, high-ranking members of the Muslim Brotherhood,
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: though he says he disavows them. And that's okay. You
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: can say you disavow something, but at what point are
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: we supposed to believe you or not believe you? I mean,
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: you know, we have to know, is this the stuff
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: we're supposed to believe, or is this just campaign rhetoric?
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: You know, boys will be boys. Anyway, it is a
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: Saturday morning, but that doesn't mean we don't have to
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: tell you what went on last night. We will certainly
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: give you our analysis of same, but there's plenty here.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: A lot of stuff they tried to sneak out the
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: alley on a Friday when they thought that you didn't
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: have to get up for work this morning. Justice Department Friday.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: ordered California election officials to identify suspected non-citizens on voter
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: rolls and set aside their mail-in ballots, warning that any
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: officials who knowingly count ballots cast by non-citizens could face
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: criminal charges themselves. Two former FBI officials are facing criminal
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: charges for allegedly making false statements to Congress during testimony
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: in the 2023 election. Testimonies are revolving around a laptop
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: that turned out to belong to President Joe Biden's son, Hunter.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: Nikki Flores, 46, former intelligence analyst, and Bradley Benvenides, 56,
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: former deputy assistant director at the counterintelligence division, appeared in
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: court in Friday in Washington, D.C., isn't it? Ironic, don't
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: you think? Ukraine's top negotiator involved in the humanitarian ceasefire
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: led by U.S. First Lady Melania Trump told the Associated
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: Press that the local ceasefire with Russia will start Tuesday,
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: allowing folks to bring aid and humanitarian assistance to Aleshky,
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: a war-divided region of the Kurshan in southern Ukraine. Meanwhile,
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says his country is ready to
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: return to the negotiating table with Russia and the United States,
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: and they expect to be in Abu Dhabi sometime in
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: the first half of November to do that. Attorney General
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: Todd Blanch, while announcing the arrest of Virginia's most powerful Democrat,
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: Senate pro tempore President Luis Lucas, was asked about the
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: Justice Department blocking states from certifying results, and he said,
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: I don't think it's proper to make any kind of
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: conclusory statements about what's going to happen in the future
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: because I have no idea what's going to happen in
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: the future. A Utah judge Friday said, stop looking at me.
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: Why are you all looking at me? Oh, that's right.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: You want me to make a decision. He said he
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: needs more time so that hopefully all the press will
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: leave his courtroom as he determines when the trial of
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Turning Point USA
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: founder Charlie Kirk more than a year ago will take place.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: And a CIA contractor was arrested Friday for leaking top
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: secret national defense information to a romantic partner who then
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: published the material on Substack. Ian Brinksman of Washington, D.C.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: was arrested following the sting. I told you I wrote
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: for the Daily Signal, and I've got a column in
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: the pipeline about pedophile who was assigned to discuss transgender
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: issues with eight-year-olds. With the predictable results, he now faces
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: 20 charges of sexual assault on those elementary school students,
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: and now the arrests begin in a cadre of school
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: officials who knew about it and didn't do anything about it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: But also there, as we have state pages dedicated to
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: Texas and Ohio and California and Georgia. Rebecca Bice has
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: a wonderful piece on the Georgia page about how John
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: Ossoff has all of these multi-billionaire campaign contributors, and none
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: of them seem to be in Georgia. Daily Signal.
• 7:01
  Speaker 11: Let's see, if something costs less, a lot less, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 11: people are actually happier with it, that sounds like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 11: to look into.
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: And that's Metashare.
• 7:10
  Speaker 11: Maybe you've heard joining MediShare can save you or your
• 7:12
  Speaker 11: family up to $ 500 a month, and that's huge, but
• 7:16
  Speaker 11: it's also true. People are just happier with it. They
• 7:18
  Speaker 11: love being part of something that reflects and promotes their
• 7:21
  Speaker 11: values and what they believe in. MediShare works, too. It's
• 7:24
  Speaker 11: been around for 30 years now, and members have shared
• 7:27
  Speaker 11: more than $ 7 billion of each other's bills. People love
• 7:31
  Speaker 11: having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network. So, yeah, really,
• 7:36
  Speaker 11: you can save a ton and like it better. Imagine
• 7:38
  Speaker 11: being happy with how you're taking care of your health care,
• 7:41
  Speaker 11: whether you're self-employed or part of the gig economy, or
• 7:43
  Speaker 11: you just want a plan that you're happy with.
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: Here you go.
• 7:46
  Speaker 11: You can call right now and get a price within
• 7:48
  Speaker 11: two minutes. A very, very smart use of two minutes.
• 7:51
  Speaker 11: Here's the number you need.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: It's 855-SHARE-40.
• 7:53
  Speaker 12: 855-S-H-A-R-E-40.
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: 855-SHARE-40.
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 13: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 13: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 13: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 13: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 13: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 13: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 13: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 13: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 13: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 13: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 13: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 13: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 13: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 14: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 15: I'm Jack Hanna.
• 10:00
  Speaker 16: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
• 10:01
  Speaker 16: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
• 10:04
  Speaker 16: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
• 10:07
  Speaker 16: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
• 10:09
  Speaker 16: supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who work hard
• 10:13
  Speaker 16: to provide for their young, or penguins who travel up
• 10:15
  Speaker 16: to 500 miles to secure food for their families, or
• 10:18
  Speaker 16: bush babies whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
• 10:21
  Speaker 16: trees and the wild in search of fruit. This remarkable
• 10:24
  Speaker 16: work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
• 10:27
  Speaker 16: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
• 10:30
  Speaker 16: because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work
• 10:33
  Speaker 16: every day Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
• 10:36
  Speaker 16: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
• 10:39
  Speaker 16: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
• 10:42
  Speaker 16: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
• 10:45
  Speaker 16: roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:47
  Speaker 16: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 16: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 16: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.

  Speaker 17: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 18: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 17: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 19: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 19: somebody call me a ride. Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

• 11:31
  Speaker 20: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just

• 12:32
  Speaker 21: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35

• 13:11
  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: You know, I have a phrase and I use it
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: and people don't catch it all the time. They're like,
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: did he just, what does that mean? Because we often
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: use the word multifaceted to be a good thing. It's
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: a multifaceted approach to breaking the speed of light barrier.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: That kind of thing. But if you break down the
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: meanings of the parts, it means having many faces. And
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: so I found myself struggling with some of these folks,
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: whether they be in office or trying to be, to
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: feel satisfied when I call them two-faced. Because it seems insufficient,
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: doesn't it? When you've got Abdul El-Sayed saying, I have
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: nothing to do with the Muslim Brotherhood, and I will
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: gladly agree that I disavow any of them. And then
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: you look at his campaign contributions, and it's full of
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: high-ranking Muslim Brotherhood leaders. It's not saying they can't contribute unless,
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: of course, they're overseas, and James O'Keefe and the O'Keefe
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: Media Group exposed that this week and got a campaign
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: worker fired. But nobody else in the press bothered to
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: ask Abdullah. They all want to know about the Muslim Brotherhood.
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: And now we have campaign contribution rolls full of high-ranking
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: Muslim Brotherhood members and leaders, Washington Free Beacon, going through
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: the documents. Donors include former spokesman for the Brotherhood's official
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: political party in Egypt. Huh, I thought you weren't supposed
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: to take contributions from overseas. Now, he may have flown
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: into the United States, dropped it off at a post
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: office box, but I think the law says foreign citizens. So,
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: hypocrite number one, multifaceted, Abdul El-Sayed, John Ossoff, hypocrite number two,
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: of course, doing the Bernie Sanders, I'm going to go
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: after the millionaires and billionaires to a crowd of people
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: who aren't. Gee, and they cheered. 39 billionaires have donated
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: to Ossoff's race. against Congressman Mike Collins, and that's just
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: between July and September. Since then, he has added eight
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: new billionaire donors, with each one giving the maximum contribution
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: to his campaign. And why would they do this? Why
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: would billionaires, if he's on the stump saying, I'm going
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: to go after these people, why would they give him money?
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: Does he seem ardent about it? You tell me, Valdosta.
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: Our new friends down there, 105.9. Tell me. Tell me
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: that John Ossoff isn't a hypocrite. Now, you may not
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: love Mike Collins, and this is part of the fractious
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: Georgia primary that left know, a lot of Georgia Republicans
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: getting ready to do what conversationally a lot of Virginia
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: Republicans feel like doing— staying home, staying home. And part of
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: it is, unfortunately, on us, we expect elected officials to
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: fix our problems for us. We expect elected officials to
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: get rid of the industry of abortion. That's not going
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: to happen. I'll do the hard work of trying to
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: convince young people not to have unplanned pregnancies, but man
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: cannot be made good by law. As a matter of fact,
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: history hath shown that man is actually more apt to
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: write laws to help suborn his badness. See the case
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: of the gambling and drug-selling impresario of Louise, I was
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: born in the wrong state, Lucas, who really runs her
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: business more like somebody that we'd be talking about on 106.9
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: out of Las Vegas. making sure that casinos go into
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: her district so that her friends can profit from them,
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: making sure that she gets the weed-selling licenses. So obviously
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: Nancy Pelosi is the avatar for this kind of behavior.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm sure.
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: you put this kind of power into the hands of people,
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: they are going to be corrupted. Look at our seven
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: and seven list, as Kareem calls it. Seven up, seven down.
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: Is that better? The seven vices and the seven virtues.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: And you understand that Madison, this is why Madison was
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: right and Alexander Hamilton was wrong. I mean, Alexander Hamilton,
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: for the sake of our conversation this Saturday morning, was
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: wrong pretty much every time he opened his cake hole.
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: And I'm sorry he has a wonderful Broadway play, but
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: a couple of things, a couple of myths we need
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: to dispel. Number one, Alexander Hamilton, as far as I
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: can tell, did not have a good singing voice. Number two,
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: Alexander Hamilton did not rap. Number three, Alexander Hamilton, though
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: born in the Bahamas, was as white as a sheet,
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: white as the sheets that are worn on the Dixiecrats
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: just before they appear on camera to talk about how
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: they'll go after the billionaires and millionaires and are ready
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: to look after the black community. And by look after,
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: they mean not let them achieve anything on their own,
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: but make sure that two or three of their more
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: well-heeled residents have access to make friends, as it were.
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: Here's a little walking around money is what it used
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: to be.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Called.
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: So Madison knew that if you gave power to a
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: room full of people, they walk into that room with
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: and greed and lust and sloth and wrath and pride
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: and much more likely to indulge those because that's what
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: we do. We are more likely to fall prey here
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: walking through the devil's domain to our lesser angels. You
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: don't have to be a member of the Clinton family
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: family foundation to understand that. Each one has a counterbalancing
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: virtue of prudence, faith, good works, concord, sobriety, patience, and humility.
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: But they're harder to do.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes does
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: not need to be super intense. As a matter of fact,
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: it could just be you moving your body and doing
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: what you already love to do, like exercise. And a
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right? It means also
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: infusing your workout routines with strength training as well. So
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: we are super excited to be launching our new plate-loaded
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: strength series in all of our gyms. It's already fitted
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: in 1,700 locations with the goal to have all 2,700
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: fitted by the end of 2025. So if you need
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: more information, go to our website at planetfitness.com or better yet,

  Speaker 14: For decades, America's offshore oil industry has relied on Port Fouchon, Louisiana.
• 23:01
  Speaker 14: But now, as wind energy continues to grow, many of
• 23:05
  Speaker 14: these vessels, these companies, these people are building and servicing
• 23:09
  Speaker 14: the offshore wind industry. Moving equipment, installing turbines, transporting crews,
• 23:14
  Speaker 14: it's a huge opportunity, and we're proud.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: To be a part of that.
• 23:17
  Speaker 16: U.S.

  Speaker 23: Offshore Wind has already announced over $ 25 billion in infrastructure investments.

  Speaker 7: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

  Speaker 13: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 25:13
  Speaker 13: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 25:17
  Speaker 13: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 25:21
  Speaker 13: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never

  Speaker 17: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 25:56
  Speaker 15: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 18: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Heart and brain.
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 23: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 19: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:13
  Speaker 19: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 17: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 18: Me too.
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:23
  Speaker 20: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:26
  Speaker 20: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:30
  Speaker 20: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 20: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:36
  Speaker 20: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 20: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 20: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors.
• 26:49
  Speaker 20: Check ducts for holes and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 20: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 20: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:58
  Speaker 20: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 20: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 20: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 20: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 22: a brother like you.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Lucky?
• 27:40
  Speaker 10: Caring for my brother is far from easy. But he's

  Speaker 10: a part of me, like my arms and legs, so
• 27:45
  Speaker 10: I'll be his. No time for tired. Nothing can disable

• 28:22
  Speaker 6: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: on this Saturday morning. And as we gather around the
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: reality of it all. not trying to sell the.
• 28:32
  Speaker 11: Six men who signed the declaration of it.
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: Just trying to make sense of it all this time.
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: The Constitution you know the left likes to call it
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: an experiment.
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: I would posit that if it is an experiment, as
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: our friends on the left like to call it, the
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: experiment was into human nature to prove inequivocally that if
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: you give humans authority over other humans, they will be corrupted.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: Lifting our seven deadly sins and our seven profound vices
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: out of the realm of theory and into proven truth.
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: scientifically tested fact. That's what we've watched play out. That's
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: the FBI and their investigators hooking a brother up. Now,
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: I don't know why they would want to cover for
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: Hunter Biden unless they felt like their jobs. And understand
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: the hierarchy at a place like the FBI, two officers,
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: high-ranking assistant directors, lying to Congress about the Hunter Biden
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: laptop and what they knew about it. Why would they
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: do that? Because their careers were hooked to the caboose
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: of somebody whose career was hooked to the caboose of
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: somebody in Joe Biden's political party. That's why. I'm sorry,
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: I'd love to make it about statecraft and Russia collusion. No, no,
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: it's about I need to keep my career moving forward
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: so I will do what my benefactor tells me to do.
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: I'd love to give it more of a John LeCair twist,
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: but that's unfortunately why I don't write espionage thrillers, because
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: they'd be like five pages long.
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: Dr.
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: Clark's on the line with us at 434-882-4217. Good morning, John.
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Clark. How are you doing this morning, sir?
• 30:58
  Speaker 12: So I'm all good.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: You hang on to that writing espionage story for just
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: a minute, okay?
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 31:03
  Speaker 12: Now, Joe, for decades, the vast majority of what we.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Get on television and movies is just remakes and reprisals.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: You know, you can go back as far as the Munsters.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: When the Addams Family got to be a big deal,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: they got Mosher and Conley to reprise Leave It to
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Beaver scripts.
• 31:26
  Speaker 12: And come up with the Munsters.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: So it's just over and over. Now, here's the thing.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: You've got this Louise Lucas thing going on. And what
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: has it been?
• 31:37
  Speaker 12: 20 years?
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: HBO had the wire where machine politics and drug dealing
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: was a thing.
• 31:46
  Speaker 12: You've got a Reese cup of that right here.
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: It's really true. We could, we could, you know, Andre
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: Brower was just awesome in that. I mean, I'm, I'm
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: a guilty pleasure kind of procedural guy. And, yeah, The
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: Wire was. I was not one of those people who
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: was a devotee at first. And then I watched it.
• 32:09
  Speaker 12: Well, I saw it years later.
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, me too.
• 32:13
  Speaker 12: In Louise Lucas. It's all there.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: It's all there. You're right.
• 32:17
  Speaker 12: Yes, you've got Stringer Bell and Prop Joe rolled into one.
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: That's right. But this is the thing, though. You give
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: that kind of power to people. You make everything right
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: by law, but only by law. This is what you're
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: going to get. And that's why I said that about
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: this great experiment that the left talks about. It's a
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: human nature experiment. We have now proven inequivocally that we
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: as a group cannot be trusted to organize the lives
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: of other people without winding up being absolutely crestfallingly corrupted.
• 32:58
  Speaker 12: Well, the corruption's there. Now, here's the big question.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Did somebody start out to be a drug dealer and
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: figured out a whole different business model? Or did they
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: just kind of fall into it when she got old
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: enough to not be able to avoid being greedy?
• 33:16
  Speaker 12: I don't know.
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, she did vote in favor of the
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: loosening of regulations, you know, the beginnings of the peripheral
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: industry and her dispensaries, if you want to call them that.
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: She called them that. They were not allowed to sell marijuana.
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: They could sell CBD oil, which, hell, I have CBD
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: oil clients on this station. But they started to play
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: in the funny business area. Remember, several years ago, she
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: threw all of her staff under the bus at her
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: dispensary because they caught her selling, I think it was
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: Lucky Charms. They made Lucky Charms into these, like, honey-dipped
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: energy bars laced with actual THC.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: If she threw her old staff under the bus, we've
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: got Marlo Stanfield rolled.
• 34:12
  Speaker 12: Into it now. So it's just more and more.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Now, Joe, write a pilot, take it to HBO, and
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: you're in.
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: I don't know. Isn't it Netflix? Isn't Netflix the new
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: HBO for that kind of stuff?
• 34:31
  Speaker 12: I don't know. You know.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: What I do see is we never get it made
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: because they're incredibly politically motivated with all this stuff, and
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: it does not reflect well.
• 34:41
  Speaker 12: It'd be trying to get FBI to go along with
• 34:45
  Speaker 12: you on it or something.
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I actually was reading a thing about even House
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: of Cards. The folks at Netflix went to the authors
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: of House of Cards and said, couldn't you make which
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: was Underwood in the United States, couldn't you make Frank
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: Underwood a Republican? And they said, no, the point is
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: that this is both people. This is both groups. And
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: Netflix had pause about making House of Cards because it
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: didn't do the standard Hollywood, Democrats, sanctified, everybody's Jed Bartlett. versus, yeah,
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: they're just as devious. I asked somebody, who was it?
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: I think it was before we were distributed more nationally,
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: but I think it was, oh, it was our friend
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: Tom Drops Bombs. So now you hear him, he's got
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: the YouTube channel, he's in the Virginia. But he had
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: been elected to Congress right about the time House of
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: Cards came out. And I think it was him. And
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: I asked him on the air, in front of everybody,
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: I said, is Washington, D.C. more West Wing or House
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: of Cards? And he said, oh, without question. He said,
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: at very least, House of Cards may not take it
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: far enough. And that's the corruption. That's what I mean
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: is these folks, look at K Street. Go ask somebody
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: what the rent for $ 1 small office on K Street
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: in Washington, D.C., costs. It's where all the lobbyists are.
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: So they pay big money to be walking distance to
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: the U.S. Capitol, and they go in there, and it's
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: just cash flow. The untouchables would be sitting there for
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: months trying to find Al Capone's guys meeting with the
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: wrong people. You don't have to do that in Washington.
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: You just watch them walk down the street past the
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: Phoenix Park Hotel.
• 37:02
  Speaker 12: Now we've got.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Another show, Joe. You had the untouchables back in the day.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Now we could have a show about D.C.
• 37:11
  Speaker 12: Politicians and call it the touchables.
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: Well, that's only the pages. I was thinking the unscrutables. Well,
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: I'm talking, you know, they.
• 37:21
  Speaker 12: Were untouchables because they couldn't be bought, right? Right.
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: Well, these are these are the touchables.
• 37:29
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: And you can touch them.
• 37:31
  Speaker 12: You just need the right lobbyists with the right amount
• 37:33
  Speaker 12: of money.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: And, you know, the distressing thing to me, Joe, is
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: how little they sell us out for.
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: Maybe that's a good point. We should be a little
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: saltier about, you know, how easy it is for them
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: to sell out their representation now. for a few shekels
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: and a walk on the beach somewhere, maybe a cruise
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: to the Bahamas once in a while on this Saturday morning.

  Speaker 18: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 18: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 18: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:14
  Speaker 15: Oh, yes!
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 18: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:20
  Speaker 18: favorite form of ear candy.
• 40:22
  Speaker 20: Oh, my.
• 40:24
  Speaker 18: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Shh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 18: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:38
  Speaker 18: And with every item you buy, you fund local job
• 40:41
  Speaker 18: training and more. So go forth, bring home those donut earrings,

  Speaker 18: and bring home so.
• 40:49
  Speaker 24: Much good to your community.

  Speaker 23: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 23: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 23: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 23: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 23: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 23: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 23: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 23: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 23: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 23: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41
  Speaker 18: Eat better.

  Speaker 1: Sure.

  Speaker 10: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.

  Speaker 6: I can probably swim.

  Speaker 9: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 43:29
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 19: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  Speaker 19: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42
  Speaker 19: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

• 44:13
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: The FBI. Starring James Comey as Agent 8647. You know,
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: you're right, Clark.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Everything is like recycled TV stuff.
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: And I don't know, people who know me will laugh
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: and say, I should sit down and take you up
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: on that offer of writing that TV treatment. I don't
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: know if I have the time or not, but you
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: would certainly have a role in it. But it does
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: seem like that. I mean, how many times, you know,
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: outside of like, I don't think there was ever a
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: West Wing episode of white powder being found in the
• 45:08
  Speaker 6: White House. But I mean, there were instances where I
• 45:10
  Speaker 6: was like, really, guys, can you just why don't you
• 45:13
  Speaker 6: just get Martin Sheen, who honestly, if you talk to him,
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: thinks he was the president. And you think Charlie's the
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: one with a marbles issue. I mean, I've watched Martin
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: Sheen appear at various things. I mean, it's like he's
• 45:28
  Speaker 6: got a seal that he puts on the podium in
• 45:31
  Speaker 6: front of you. I've got to have a room for
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: my security detail. You were not actually the president, Martin,
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: any more than.
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: Anyway, the hypocrites, though, that fill this place are supposed
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: to be ex-checked by law enforcement. Now, this issue with
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: the two FBI agents... And this is going to be
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: an interesting test of FBI ethics because FBI, Federal Bureau
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: of Investigation, in their marching orders, are allowed to lie
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: to you. And this is a really interesting confluence of
• 46:19
  Speaker 6: whether or not facing your representatives, they're allowed to lie.
• 46:26
  Speaker 6: They stand for accused of lying to Congress. But is Congress,
• 46:35
  Speaker 6: by abstract, just an extension of you? And they're allowed
• 46:40
  Speaker 6: to lie to you. So when Nikki Flores and Bradley
• 46:44
  Speaker 6: Benavides lied to Congress, was it just the same way
• 46:51
  Speaker 6: they would lie to you to elicit a confession about
• 46:54
  Speaker 6: something they had no evidence about? Because certainly you're not
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: allowed to lie to the FBI. But the FBI is
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: allowed to lie to you. Just like the Virginia State
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: Police are allowed to take all of your personal property
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: and never give it back to you. Because, and this
• 47:16
  Speaker 6: is elected officials who voted for the law defending it saying, well,
• 47:21
  Speaker 6: you would just use the proceeds from the liquidation of
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: those assets to hire defense attorneys. In this country, on
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: our 250th anniversary, there are laws that are specifically designed
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: to keep you from being able to sell your property
• 47:41
  Speaker 6: to hire a defense lawyer. With apologies to the late
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: Martin Luther King Jr., somewhere I read that your right
• 47:57
  Speaker 6: to defend yourself Was God given? Was God given? And
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: maybe this falls under the Tim Kaine, if I choose
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: not to defend those rights, then I've taken them away
• 48:09
  Speaker 6: from you. Which is a perversion of John Locke's original
• 48:21
  Speaker 6: theorem on where your rights come from. Because in his theorem,
• 48:35
  Speaker 6: Locke says, you also need then a government that will
• 48:43
  Speaker 6: defend those rights. But a Nigerian has the same God-given
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: rights you and I have. They just don't live in
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: a country that has committed themselves to that over there. Oh,
• 48:55
  Speaker 6: there I go again. Well, Martin Luther King Jr. said
• 48:58
  Speaker 6: some good stuff. So pardon me for nicking it every
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: now and then. And you have to believe that because
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: if you don't, then you're going to fall prey to
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: the authoritarians because you believe that you're the one that
• 49:30
  Speaker 6: gives the rights. John Ossoff, Abdul El-Sayed, those folks believe
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: that your rights come from government. Tim Kaine thinks your
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: rights come from government.
• 49:44
  Speaker 24: Opening comments, and I asked to get a copy of
• 49:47
  Speaker 24: them so I could read them and make sure I
• 49:48
  Speaker 24: quoted them correctly. You state, and this is a quote
• 49:52
  Speaker 24: from Secretary Rubio, our rights come from God, our creator,
• 49:56
  Speaker 24: not from our laws, not from our government. I find
• 50:00
  Speaker 24: that very, very troubling.
• 50:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I bet you do.
• 50:02
  Speaker 24: I'm a devout person. I was a missionary in Honduras.
• 50:05
  Speaker 24: We've got other devout folks in this room.
• 50:07
  Speaker 6: Notice he doesn't say the word Catholic anymore.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: Christian, Jewish, Muslim, American.
• 50:12
  Speaker 6: Catholic.
• 50:13
  Speaker 24: The notion that rights don't come from laws and don't
• 50:17
  Speaker 24: come from the government, but come from the creator, that's
• 50:21
  Speaker 24: what the Iranian government believes. It's a theocratic regime that
• 50:25
  Speaker 24: bases its rule on Shia law.
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: You mean like several cities in Michigan and a big
• 50:34
  Speaker 6: swath of Minnesota, Tim? You're talking about Dearborn, Michigan? And
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: there's a difference between acknowledging, by the way, just for
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: the keyboard warriors, there's a difference, profound one, difference between
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: understanding that every single human being born on this planet
• 51:00
  Speaker 6: has God-given rights and that it is on their government
• 51:04
  Speaker 6: to defend them and it is on them to make
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: sure their government defends them. And if your government isn't
• 51:10
  Speaker 6: defending them, If there's anyone listening to American Forces Radio
• 51:16
  Speaker 6: within the boundaries of Iran this morning, or I guess
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: this afternoon where you are, understand that, yes, God has
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: bestowed upon you the rights, all the same rights that
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: an American has. Free speech, well, Americans are supposed to have.
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: But it's your responsibility, just like God says, I will
• 51:40
  Speaker 6: provide a garden, but I ain't shoveling it for you.
• 51:45
  Speaker 6: I'm not planting the seeds. You're going to need to
• 51:47
  Speaker 6: do that. You need to refresh your government for one
• 51:54
  Speaker 6: that will defend your rights. And I say this if we're,
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: like I said, American Forces Radio, I don't know, but
• 52:00
  Speaker 6: I mean, this is what brought down the Soviet Union
• 52:03
  Speaker 6: was enough people in the Soviet Union saying, hold it.
• 52:09
  Speaker 6: How is it Billy Joel was able to write all
• 52:11
  Speaker 6: those songs? Did the government write them for him? Did
• 52:14
  Speaker 6: the government order him? And then when they discovered freedom, well,
• 52:18
  Speaker 6: it wasn't long before the wall came down. Walls are
• 52:23
  Speaker 6: funny that way. So these FBI thugs lying to Congress,
• 52:32
  Speaker 6: I believe their defense is going to be, well, they're
• 52:34
  Speaker 6: just the people's representatives and we're allowed to lie to
• 52:38
  Speaker 6: the people. So why were we not allowed to lie
• 52:42
  Speaker 6: to their representatives when we went to Congress? It would
• 52:45
  Speaker 6: be the same thing as sitting in a room with
• 52:48
  Speaker 6: you telling you, oh yeah, we have you dead to rights.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: My name is Bobby.
• 52:52
  Speaker 20: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:55
  Speaker 14: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
• 52:58
  Speaker 14: weightlifting champion.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: I'm Sam. I'm a veteran.
