• 0:10
  Speaker 3: You don't vote for kings.

  Speaker 4: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:16
  Speaker 5: Joe works at a steel mill, works damn near every day.
• 0:19
  Speaker 6: Leaves for work when the sun comes up, drops.
• 0:23
  Speaker 7: The kids to school and on the way.
• 0:26
  Speaker 8: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
• 0:29
  Speaker 8: he needs.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:34
  Speaker 9: He only aims to please you.
• 0:37
  Speaker 10: Let me be your Joe.
• 0:39
  Speaker 11: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:41
  Speaker 11: this morning.
• 0:42
  Speaker 6: I want to be your Joe.
• 0:47
  Speaker 11: Our first thing's coming up in a moment, but Josh
• 0:51
  Speaker 11: Hetzler is on with us from the Founding Freedoms Law
• 0:54
  Speaker 11: Center trying to defend sanity, it seems like. as we
• 1:00
  Speaker 11: continue to drag our country outside the Overton window and
• 1:03
  Speaker 11: toss it down to the street below. Josh, last question
• 1:07
  Speaker 11: for you. How can the listener help what you're doing there?
• 1:13
  Speaker 11: Is it contributory? Is it tips? What can people do
• 1:19
  Speaker 11: to help what you're doing at the Founding Freedoms Legal Center?
• 1:24
  Speaker 12: There's two things that everyone can do right now that
• 1:26
  Speaker 12: we really need.
• 1:27
  Speaker 10: And the first is prayer.
• 1:29
  Speaker 12: We could use tremendous prayer because we believe that this
• 1:32
  Speaker 12: is a spiritual battle. And we believe that there's wild
• 1:37
  Speaker 12: things happening in the cosmic realm right now that would
• 1:40
  Speaker 12: like to see this amendment pass and for us to fail.
• 1:43
  Speaker 10: So pray for us. And then secondly, you can go
• 1:46
  Speaker 10: to foundingfreedomslaw.org.
• 1:49
  Speaker 12: And if you want to contribute to help us continue
• 1:52
  Speaker 12: to do this without charging any of our clients, we
• 1:54
  Speaker 12: would appreciate that.
• 1:56
  Speaker 11: It's such an important thing to do right now because
• 2:00
  Speaker 11: there are so many attacks on that most amazing of
• 2:03
  Speaker 11: all documents in human history, the Bill of Rights, that
• 2:08
  Speaker 11: they keep trying, they keep coming back, but as long
• 2:11
  Speaker 11: as that document stays there, and maybe that's also a
• 2:14
  Speaker 11: big part of the midterm election, because a lot of
• 2:16
  Speaker 11: the folks on the ballot would be very pleased to
• 2:19
  Speaker 11: see a world where that document, that Bill of Rights,
• 2:24
  Speaker 11: is relegated to a museum stand in the Smithsonian. And
• 2:29
  Speaker 11: we come up with, what did President Obama call it,
• 2:32
  Speaker 11: an affirmative list of rights, things that you're supposed to
• 2:36
  Speaker 11: expect the government to do for you. So it's very
• 2:39
  Speaker 11: important that as well. Bless you, sir. Rest that voice up,
• 2:43
  Speaker 11: and hopefully we don't need your services on November 13th. Yes, absolutely.
• 2:49
  Speaker 10: Thanks for having me on. Appreciate you.
• 2:52
  Speaker 11: As always, foundingfreedomslawcenter.org.
• 2:55
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 2:57
  Speaker 11: Now it's time for our first things this morning, the
• 3:00
  Speaker 11: stories that have captivated us from around the world, in
• 3:07
  Speaker 11: the Capitol, and up your street. And cowering in the
• 3:11
  Speaker 11: corner of the alley behind your house. We begin in
• 3:16
  Speaker 11: Israel where the counting of the votes continues for the
• 3:20
  Speaker 11: Knesset elections. Again, I'm not sure where the numbers are
• 3:24
  Speaker 11: coming from, but we learned our lesson in 2000 about
• 3:27
  Speaker 11: some of this. Commentators are saying that it appears the
• 3:32
  Speaker 11: Likud party, that's Benjamin Netanyahu's, will retain a majority with
• 3:38
  Speaker 11: 53 seats in The opposition party will get 49 seats,
• 3:43
  Speaker 11: win 49 seats. And parties affiliated with Arab residents, and yes,
• 3:49
  Speaker 11: there are elected representative Arabs in Israel, make up 19
• 3:55
  Speaker 11: other seats. And what will happen is somebody will have
• 3:59
  Speaker 11: to make a deal with them to create a coalition government.
• 4:03
  Speaker 11: And many of those party races... were run on the
• 4:09
  Speaker 11: idea of getting rid of Benjamin Netanyahu. Political strategists who
• 4:14
  Speaker 11: helped get rid of New York City's traditional Democrats and
• 4:18
  Speaker 11: replace them with Zorhan Mamdani said Democratic socialists want to
• 4:22
  Speaker 11: take over the Democratic Party and ultimately elect a, well,
• 4:27
  Speaker 11: he said socialist president. I will insert the phrase another
• 4:31
  Speaker 11: socialist president in 2028. potentially Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
• 4:39
  Speaker 11: Andrew Epstein, who served as a creative director for Mamdani's campaign,
• 4:45
  Speaker 11: discussed the movement with Belgian newspaper De Chide, I think
• 4:51
  Speaker 11: that's how it's pronounced, following a series of primary victories
• 4:55
  Speaker 11: of socialist candidates in that country as well. The Milwaukee
• 5:00
  Speaker 11: Brewers have taken home the franchise's first World Series title
• 5:04
  Speaker 11: since its founding in 1969 as the Seattle Pilots. Up
• 5:09
  Speaker 11: till that point, the places in history the Brewers had
• 5:14
  Speaker 11: found themselves were often tied to comedy, both Ball Four
• 5:18
  Speaker 11: and most of Bob Euchre's comedy taking swings around the
• 5:23
  Speaker 11: Milwaukee Brewers or Seattle Pilots teams. Vice President J.D. Vance,
• 5:29
  Speaker 11: nobody's laughing now at the brewers. Vice President J.D. Vance
• 5:32
  Speaker 11: has opened a diplomatic channel with one of Iran's most
• 5:36
  Speaker 11: powerful hardliners, a letter communicating to Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of
• 5:43
  Speaker 11: Iran's Supreme National Security Council and former commander of the

  Speaker 11: peace resolved. expanded and Brazilian president Flavio Bolsonaro presidential candidate

• 6:12
  Speaker 13: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co-host of Foster and Friends
• 6:16
  Speaker 13: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
• 6:18
  Speaker 13: famed lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
• 6:21
  Speaker 13: word win stood for what's important now. The Lunch Pail
• 6:25

  Speaker 3: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 16: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 16: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 16: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 16: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:17
  Speaker 16: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 16: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 16: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 16: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 16: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 16: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 16: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 16: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 16: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 14: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: I'm Jack Hamm.
• 10:00
  Speaker 17: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
• 10:01
  Speaker 17: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
• 10:05
  Speaker 17: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
• 10:07
  Speaker 17: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
• 10:10
  Speaker 17: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes who work hard
• 10:13
  Speaker 17: to provide for their young. Or penguins, who travel up
• 10:16
  Speaker 17: to 500 miles to secure.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Food for their families.
• 10:18
  Speaker 17: Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them to navigate
• 10:21
  Speaker 17: the trees and the wild in search of fruit. This
• 10:24
  Speaker 17: remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
• 10:28
  Speaker 17: We know dogs as our wonderful pets at home, but
• 10:30
  Speaker 17: because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work
• 10:34
  Speaker 17: every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
• 10:36
  Speaker 17: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
• 10:39
  Speaker 17: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
• 10:42
  Speaker 17: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
• 10:45
  Speaker 17: roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:48
  Speaker 17: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:51
  Speaker 17: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 17: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 18: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 15: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 14: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 19: And now a speech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 16: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 11: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 17: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 20: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 20: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 10: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:29
  Speaker 21: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 21: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 21: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 21: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 21: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 21: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 21: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 21: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 21: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:01
  Speaker 21: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 21: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:08
  Speaker 21: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 21: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 21: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18

  Speaker 21: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 21: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: at MakeTheConnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 13:19
  Speaker 15: As long as you've got.
• 13:22
  Speaker 22: A voice to hear.
• 13:25
  Speaker 11: Yeah, not me.
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: You're on the air.
• 13:36
  Speaker 15: What's on your mind?
• 13:41
  Speaker 11: It is, you know, the secret to it, if we're
• 13:44
  Speaker 11: ever going to do this, we have to talk with
• 13:46
  Speaker 11: each other, including people you don't agree with. And this
• 13:50
  Speaker 11: is the part that I really, when we talk about
• 13:54
  Speaker 11: It's not a new civil war. It's the same old one.
• 13:59
  Speaker 11: You hear people talk about the communists, the MAGAists. We're
• 14:09
  Speaker 11: Americans who should be about pursuing our dreams. What we've
• 14:15
  Speaker 11: allowed to have happen is somebody has sold us a
• 14:18
  Speaker 11: bill of goods like Hamas is a marginalized community or
• 14:25
  Speaker 11: A Big Mac is health food. And we've bought into
• 14:31
  Speaker 11: this because it satisfies an idea, a need in ourselves.
• 14:39
  Speaker 11: And we have to remember that you have rights and
• 14:41
  Speaker 11: I have rights and your rights cannot infringe on mine.
• 14:45
  Speaker 11: It's really simple. I mean, Jarrah, how do you deal
• 14:47
  Speaker 11: with Sharia law? It's not constitutional. You can't do it.
• 14:51
  Speaker 11: But religious freedom... I'm sorry, my right to individual rights
• 14:57
  Speaker 11: trumps your idea of religious freedom, because if your idea
• 15:02
  Speaker 11: of religious freedom imposes your religion on me, nope, that
• 15:07
  Speaker 11: can't do it. Can't do it constitutionally. Thanks for playing.
• 15:10
  Speaker 11: Have a nice day. Go find a country to live
• 15:12
  Speaker 11: in where that's permissible. How hard was that? How hard
• 15:16
  Speaker 11: is it? And I don't mean to diminish the intellectual
• 15:20
  Speaker 11: capabilities of our elected officials. How hard was it to
• 15:24
  Speaker 11: say that? And was it said without compassion? Was it
• 15:28
  Speaker 11: said without concern for the fact that you might want
• 15:31
  Speaker 11: to follow Sharia law? Don't mean I've got to. Don't
• 15:34
  Speaker 11: mean you need courtrooms in my city that I could
• 15:37
  Speaker 11: be dragged into if I don't comply with Sharia law.
• 15:40
  Speaker 11: This is what we were talking about with the abortion.
• 15:43
  Speaker 11: If I don't give.
• 15:45
  Speaker 11: And think of the extrapolation. If I don't pay for
• 15:48
  Speaker 11: someone's abortion, have I denied them access to it? Because
• 15:52
  Speaker 11: it becomes a taxing law, too. Watch out for all
• 15:55
  Speaker 11: this stuff. Watch out for all this stuff. Dr. Clark
• 16:00
  Speaker 11: is on the line with us from the Huntsville area
• 16:03
  Speaker 11: of Alabama at 434-882-4217. Good morning, Clark. How are things
• 16:09
  Speaker 11: in northern Alabama this morning?
• 16:12
  Speaker 14: It's a bright day, Joe. Bright day.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: So you briefly mentioned the Alaskan perfidy. The New York
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Times is covering this, Joe.
• 16:27
  Speaker 11: In what way? I haven't seen the Times since I
• 16:30
  Speaker 11: moved out of my parents' house.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I had to pay to read the article, but
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I read the article on the article because I'm not
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: going to pay to read the article. So, yeah, no,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: they're reporting this as massive fraud. where two Dan Sullivans
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: were put on the ballot.
• 16:50
  Speaker 14: Really?
• 16:50
  Speaker 11: So they're saying.
• 16:53
  Speaker 14: Oh, really?
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Now, I know two things for certain when I learned
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: that the New York Times is reporting this. One, they're
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: absolutely certain that the effort is doomed to failure because
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: if they thought there was any chance of success, they
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: would do as they did with the 2020 election and
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: give it full cover.
• 17:15
  Speaker 14: Number two, the evidence.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Of the perfidy is pervasive, and it's about to come
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: out everywhere, and all they wanted to do was get
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: out front because if there was any chance of covering
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: this up again, they would have given it full cover. Now, Joe,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: do you recall the brilliant Steve Martin retelling of the
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: story of Santa Poco?
• 17:42
  Speaker 14: The Three Amigos.
• 17:43
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah. I didn't know it as that. I just
• 17:46
  Speaker 11: knew the Three Amigos, yeah.
• 17:48
  Speaker 14: Yes, yes.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: So, El Guapo and his band are coming for Santa Poco.
• 17:53
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: And they have to have some kind of strategy. Certainly,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: there must be something you're good at.
• 18:01
  Speaker 14: We can sew. You can sew. If only we'd known
• 18:05
  Speaker 14: this sooner.
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: Joe! Joe!
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: The Alaskan Senate race, the Democrats used the Santa Poco gambit.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: They put multiple three amigos in the race.
• 18:20
  Speaker 14: That was their strategy.
• 18:21
  Speaker 11: Three amigos everywhere.
• 18:22
  Speaker 14: He's over there with my phone. No, he's over there.
• 18:27
  Speaker 11: Well, you know, but if the New York Times is
• 18:30
  Speaker 11: covering this as the fraud against voters that it is,
• 18:35
  Speaker 11: As you rightfully point out, that means the Times is
• 18:39
  Speaker 11: not on board with this woman and her attempt to
• 18:42
  Speaker 11: win the Senate seat there, nor do they think this
• 18:45
  Speaker 11: goes on.
• 18:45
  Speaker 14: No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. I
• 18:47
  Speaker 14: don't agree with that. Okay.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: They're not on board with her failure to win the
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Senate seat. If it had worked, they'd have given it
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: full cover.
• 18:56
  Speaker 14: Okay.
• 18:58
  Speaker 11: I'll give it that. But so now here we are.
• 19:00
  Speaker 11: They believe she's going to lose. I read the Cook
• 19:03
  Speaker 11: report that said it's a toss-up. But I think I
• 19:07
  Speaker 11: believe the fact that the the ship is losing some
• 19:10
  Speaker 11: of its rats right now more than I believe the
• 19:14
  Speaker 11: Cook report.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: So here's the thing. When they try to get it right.
• 19:22
  Speaker 14: And that's very, very rare.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: But when they try to get it right, you can
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: figure five plus to the Republicans from whatever they're telling you.
• 19:31
  Speaker 14: So it's interesting. That's just the way it works.
• 19:35
  Speaker 11: So you take Lisa Murkowski and her statement where.
• 19:39
  Speaker 14: Oh, I don't want to take her anywhere, but go ahead.
• 19:43
  Speaker 11: She comes from a very wealthy family of elected officials.
• 19:46
  Speaker 14: You can't buy me love.
• 19:49
  Speaker 11: She can rent it for a few hours, I guess. No, no, no.
• 19:54
  Speaker 11: So Lisa Murkowski says that her constituents are such backwoods
• 20:01
  Speaker 11: buffoons they can't get ID to vote. And then James
• 20:07
  Speaker 11: O'Keefe goes to the island where she said these people
• 20:10
  Speaker 11: can't get ID to vote. And there's buildings and running
• 20:14
  Speaker 11: water and indoor plumbing. And guess what? A place to
• 20:18
  Speaker 11: get identification like a municipal office building. Funny, that courthouse
• 20:24
  Speaker 11: and the whole thing. It's like modern 21st century America.
• 20:28
  Speaker 14: Wait, wait, wait.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I'm going to allow for a possibility here, Joe.
• 20:34
  Speaker 11: What's that?
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: James O'Keefe went to where her constituents live. Has Lisa
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Murkowski ever done that?
• 20:41
  Speaker 11: That's a good point. I made the case that maybe
• 20:43
  Speaker 11: the last time she was there when she inherited the
• 20:46
  Speaker 11: Senate seat from daddy, that was the case. But either
• 20:51
  Speaker 11: or could be true. And then you've got this woman
• 20:56
  Speaker 11: who wants to be her partner in the Senate. And
• 21:00
  Speaker 11: she has taken that and said, oh, no, I think
• 21:03
  Speaker 11: they're so much dumber than that. that we're going to
• 21:06
  Speaker 11: put a Dan Sullivan on the ballot that isn't the
• 21:09
  Speaker 11: same Dan Sullivan, and they're going to not look for
• 21:13
  Speaker 11: the R next to their name on the ballot. I mean,
• 21:17
  Speaker 11: I would be up in arms against all these people
• 21:19
  Speaker 11: for continuing to call them stupid.
• 21:23
  Speaker 14: Yes, yes. Now, in unrelated news, Well, hang on.
• 21:29
  Speaker 11: I got it from Huggy Bear.
• 21:31
  Speaker 14: Hang on.
• 21:31
  Speaker 11: Before you give me Huggy Bear's report, unrelated news is
• 21:34
  Speaker 11: going to have to wait for a moment because we
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: have related news. And I doubt in the 20 seconds
• 21:39
  Speaker 11: before the freight train known as the bottom of the

• 21:46
  Speaker 11: an effort to not be Wile E. Coyote in this
• 21:49
  Speaker 11: particular scenario, I'm going to step off the railroad tracks
• 21:53
  Speaker 11: and go neep, beep. And we'll come right back and
• 21:56
  Speaker 11: find out what this unrelated matter is that....
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch. And nitric
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 22:41

  Speaker 3: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

• 25:57
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 14: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 23: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:06
  Speaker 19: Heart and brain.
• 26:07
  Speaker 11: Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 17: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 10: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: Me too.

• 26:19
  Speaker 8: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:23
  Speaker 21: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:26
  Speaker 21: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:30
  Speaker 21: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 21: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:37
  Speaker 21: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 21: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 21: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 21: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 21: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 21: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:59
  Speaker 21: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 21: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 21: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 21: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 14: Lucky?

  Speaker 9: I'll be his. No time for tired. Nothing can disable

  Speaker 4: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 28:32
  Speaker 11: See that there? It was just a few minutes to
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: consider the repercussions of your actions there. It's one of
• 28:40
  Speaker 11: those moments they used to have in broadcasting where they
• 28:43
  Speaker 11: would have a 30-second insert into the program and it
• 28:47
  Speaker 11: would say, what would life be like without radio? And
• 28:51
  Speaker 11: then there'd be silence. And then the announcer would come
• 28:54
  Speaker 11: back and say, not very much fun, is it? Sorry
• 28:57
  Speaker 11: about that there. Dr. Clark, when we headed into the
• 29:01
  Speaker 11: news or actually stepped out of the way of the
• 29:02
  Speaker 11: news for a moment, had a second matter he wanted
• 29:06
  Speaker 11: to bring up on the agenda. So we took a vote.
• 29:09
  Speaker 11: I seconded it and it was passed overwhelmingly. So now
• 29:14
  Speaker 11: what was that second matter you wanted to insert on
• 29:17
  Speaker 11: the agenda this morning?
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Well, if we're going to make it one second matter,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: we'll just call it the rooster huggy bear updates.
• 29:25
  Speaker 14: OK, rooster.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: From Rooster, I have it that Belcenaro has escaped the clutches.
• 29:33
  Speaker 14: Of the evil Brazilian lizard judge and for.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Has made it to the United States.
• 29:42
  Speaker 11: Yeah, we had that in our news there, but I
• 29:45
  Speaker 11: appreciate it.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Have we confirmed that he's here? Because, like, when I
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: last saw it, it was, like, still.
• 29:51
  Speaker 14: Some rooster info.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: And from Huggy Bear, the Paris riots, Joe?
• 29:57
  Speaker 14: Uh-huh.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Coordinated and paid for by Neville Roy Singham.
• 30:04
  Speaker 14: Really?
• 30:04
  Speaker 11: That's a name I haven't heard in at least a year.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Well, that's because he's hiding out in Shanghai working for
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: his Chinese masters.
• 30:14
  Speaker 14: So, here's the question I.
• 30:16
  Speaker 11: Have, Joe.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: If, in fact, Neville Roy, the commie boy, or Xi
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Jinping's boy, however you want to look at it, is
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: behind the Paris riots... Who financed the Summer of Love?
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Who was coordinating that? Because if it appears coordinated, you
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: know somebody coordinated it.
• 30:38
  Speaker 11: No, that's absolutely right. And, you know, we have traced
• 30:42
  Speaker 11: some of the money back from the Summer of Love
• 30:45
  Speaker 11: to the Open Society Foundation and George Soros. And the folks,
• 30:51
  Speaker 11: Tom Perriello was running it at the time. Now he
• 30:54
  Speaker 11: wants to go back in Congress and have an even
• 30:56
  Speaker 11: bigger pile of money. than George has to throw around.
• 31:00
  Speaker 11: But here is the.
• 31:05
  Speaker 14: Issue.
• 31:05
  Speaker 11: We're seeing it with the data center push. We had
• 31:09
  Speaker 11: to push off. I have a great guy. He's got
• 31:13
  Speaker 11: a new organization that's fighting for the ability to have
• 31:16
  Speaker 11: and keep the data centers in the United States. And
• 31:21
  Speaker 11: we're going to talk to him. I rearranged the schedule
• 31:24
  Speaker 11: a little bit so we could visit with him tomorrow.
• 31:27
  Speaker 11: about this push for property rights and your right to
• 31:31
  Speaker 11: do with as you see fit on your property. But
• 31:35
  Speaker 11: this is all, you know, Chai Comm learning at the
• 31:40
  Speaker 11: hands of the Soviet Union. Oh, if we need America
• 31:43
  Speaker 11: to do something, what we need to do is instead
• 31:46
  Speaker 11: of spending trillions of dollars on an army, spend millions
• 31:50
  Speaker 11: of dollars on, you know, activist groups and mailers and
• 31:55
  Speaker 11: some Internet ads. And we'll get the Americans. Yeah. Americans
• 31:59
  Speaker 11: will agree with us without us having to ever go
• 32:02
  Speaker 11: to war.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: So Joe, you know, the meme we see on a
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: weekly basis, the guy's walking with the girl, but he
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: turns to look at the other girl and the girl
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: he's walking with is looking at him.
• 32:13
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 32:14
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 32:14
  Speaker 11: I've seen it.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Guy right now is climate change. And, uh, AI is
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: what the guy's looking at right now. It's just, That
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: script has flipped.
• 32:28
  Speaker 11: Well, and you've got to remember that that script is
• 32:32
  Speaker 11: all about getting the attention of the COVID-19 shutdown. So
• 32:36
  Speaker 11: the guy, if you want to put a label on him,
• 32:39
  Speaker 11: is authoritarian shutdowns of your country because AI. And the
• 32:45
  Speaker 11: best part about AI that they've learned now, and this
• 32:48
  Speaker 11: is why AI is going to win over gun violence
• 32:51
  Speaker 11: and climate change, is that AI will require you to
• 32:54
  Speaker 11: shut your damn computer off. So that was what they
• 32:58
  Speaker 11: learned in COVID was, sure, we've kept them all locked
• 33:02
  Speaker 11: in their basement, and most of what they're hearing is
• 33:05
  Speaker 11: that their neighbors are trying to kill them, but damn it,
• 33:08
  Speaker 11: they still have access to the internet. So too many
• 33:11
  Speaker 11: of them are getting other thoughts, other testimony, and in
• 33:16
  Speaker 11: many cases, the truth, heaven forbid. So they've got to
• 33:21
  Speaker 11: come up with the next pandemic that will have us
• 33:24
  Speaker 11: locked in our houses, but without the Internet. So that's
• 33:28
  Speaker 11: why AI is going to win that battle if we
• 33:31
  Speaker 11: don't win it first.
• 33:34
  Speaker 14: Well, that's a yes. That's what it's all about. Joe,
• 33:37
  Speaker 14: I got to hop.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: I strongly suggest all the listeners, after Joe's show is over,
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: go research the revolution in Santa Poco and study on
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: how it relates to the Alaskans.
• 33:51
  Speaker 14: Attempt to steal an election.
• 33:53
  Speaker 11: Or just watch Three Amigos.
• 33:57
  Speaker 14: Hey, do you think.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Mary Patella was telling her staff, so, so as the
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: very wind?
• 34:04
  Speaker 11: I think so. I think so. And if she could
• 34:07
  Speaker 11: have sewn up more candidates named Dan Sullivan, we could
• 34:10
  Speaker 11: have had an entire.
• 34:12
  Speaker 14: They tried to do that.
• 34:14
  Speaker 10: It's in the article.
• 34:15
  Speaker 14: Yes, yes.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: They had a guy come from the Midwest and went
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: and drank beers with everybody named S.
• 34:23
  Speaker 14: Holden in the state trying to get them in it.
• 34:25
  Speaker 16: Right.
• 34:26
  Speaker 11: No, it's a recruiting process. It's like getting a kid
• 34:29
  Speaker 11: to sign for the Crimson Tide. You got to go
• 34:32
  Speaker 11: and sit in the living room.
• 34:35
  Speaker 14: Well, my goodness.
• 34:38
  Speaker 11: I'm picking on him because he went to Auburn. Anyway, Clark,
• 34:42
  Speaker 11: I will talk to you soon, my friend. Do well.
• 34:45
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 34:45
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 34:45
  Speaker 11: Take care of the animals. They're 434-882-4217. I know that
• 34:55
  Speaker 11: a lot of what we talk about is about people
• 34:58
  Speaker 11: trying to fool you, but there's a step before the
• 35:02
  Speaker 11: foolie begins. The step before the foolie begins is to
• 35:08
  Speaker 11: get you convinced that democratic process, democracy, is the only
• 35:14
  Speaker 11: way to decide anything. where the six wolves and five
• 35:22
  Speaker 11: sheep will vote on what's, you know, kind of restaurant
• 35:25
  Speaker 11: to permit downtown, and we'll call that democratic capitalism, where,
• 35:31
  Speaker 11: you know, 10 people from adjoining communities can vote against
• 35:35
  Speaker 11: an Airbnb because somebody might drive past their house.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: The.
• 35:48
  Speaker 11: This fixation with democratic process, I was thinking about it
• 35:54
  Speaker 11: the other day. If you think about the early days
• 35:57
  Speaker 11: of the internet, what was always on the internet? What
• 36:01
  Speaker 11: was so much fun? Some people still engage in it.
• 36:06
  Speaker 11: Those instant polls. I think you can still go on
• 36:12
  Speaker 11: Facebook and say, I want to start a poll. And
• 36:19
  Speaker 11: there was a joke years ago about voting and that
• 36:23
  Speaker 11: there had been suggestions that we use the Internet for voting.
• 36:27
  Speaker 11: And the point was made then, well, then Britney Spears
• 36:30
  Speaker 11: is going to be elected president if we allow the
• 36:33
  Speaker 11: Internet to vote. And everyone was righteously indignant about that.
• 36:38
  Speaker 11: Are you saying people who go online are dumb? But
• 36:46
  Speaker 11: what we're heading towards is this mania regarding voting for everything.
• 36:57
  Speaker 11: And then the step that precedes that is the government
• 37:00
  Speaker 11: assuming authority over everything. So now the government, of which members,
• 37:06
  Speaker 11: most members are elected members, controls all this money that
• 37:15
  Speaker 11: you need for your business or you want for your
• 37:17
  Speaker 11: business or the electrical grid that you need for your business.
• 37:23
  Speaker 11: So the government controls all that. So we need to
• 37:29
  Speaker 11: vote for everything because we the people, right? See, that's
• 37:33
  Speaker 11: where the Marxist wins. Our mania regarding democratic process applied
• 37:43
  Speaker 11: to everything. We didn't get a say in that. Well,
• 37:46
  Speaker 11: maybe you're not supposed to have a say in everything.
• 37:49
  Speaker 11: We're not supposed to have 10 people deciding because they're
• 37:53
  Speaker 11: the ones who showed up. Because that's how you lose democracy,
• 37:58
  Speaker 11: not how you save it.

  Speaker 6: At Hot Shot Secret, we share the science behind common
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: diesel problems and their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 14: For example, diesel fuel cetane levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: In many states, the cetane rating in diesel fuel is
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: 42 to 45. Most diesel engines operate more efficiently with
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: a cetane rating of 48 to 50. One treatment of
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your cetane seven points,
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts. Due to a
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons and particulate matter in
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of your diesel particulate filter.
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: Using Diesel Extreme generates 83% less DPF regenerations. The 6-in-1
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: Diesel Extreme formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: the market, lubricity enhancer, water demulsifier, rust and corrosion inhibitors,
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: and a fuel stabilizer.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme is available nationwide at truck stops,

  Speaker 19: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 19: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 19: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 18: Yes.
• 40:16
  Speaker 19: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:20
  Speaker 19: favorite form of ear candy.
• 40:23
  Speaker 14: Oh, my.
• 40:24
  Speaker 19: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 10: Shh. Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 19: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:38
  Speaker 11: And with every item.
• 40:39
  Speaker 19: You buy, you fund local job training and more.
• 40:44
  Speaker 22: So go forth.
• 40:45
  Speaker 19: Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home so much
• 40:49
  Speaker 19: good to your community.
• 40:54
  Speaker 11: Goodwill.
• 40:55
  Speaker 19: Bring good home.
• 40:57
  Speaker 24: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 24: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 24: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 24: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 24: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 24: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 24: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 24: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 24: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 24: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41

  Speaker 19: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 43:32
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 20: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  Speaker 20: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42
  Speaker 20: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

  Speaker 4: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the talk media network.
• 44:27
  Speaker 11: That was weird. A prompt right there. I don't know
• 44:34
  Speaker 11: what that was. Can we get the, there we go.
• 44:38
  Speaker 11: Bumper is interrupt us. I think we need to give
• 44:44
  Speaker 11: away another pair of these tickets. A reminder, we have
• 44:48
  Speaker 11: tickets to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra in your city where
• 44:54
  Speaker 11: our show intersects with their 30th anniversary tour. And so
• 45:00
  Speaker 11: I want to thank all the folks at Live Nation, Nightcastle,
• 45:04
  Speaker 11: for hooking us up with all these tickets and giving
• 45:07
  Speaker 11: you the opportunity to join me and my family and
• 45:11
  Speaker 11: our family tradition. We're going to the show uh, in Charlottesville, Virginia,
• 45:16
  Speaker 11: our flagship city, but they're coming to all sorts of places.
• 45:20
  Speaker 11: And let's, uh, reach into the bag of all the
• 45:22
  Speaker 11: folks who have entered already. Very easy to enter, go
• 45:25
  Speaker 11: online to Joe Thomas in the morning.com. And I cannot
• 45:28
  Speaker 11: stress this enough. Um, this is not, not, not to
• 45:33
  Speaker 11: impugn or infringe or in bellish. Um, but I don't
• 45:39
  Speaker 11: want people hassling the station management. Um, This is through
• 45:45
  Speaker 11: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas alone. And so if
• 45:48
  Speaker 11: you want to ask any questions about the shows, you
• 45:51
  Speaker 11: call me at 434-882-4217. But let's see who we've got here.
• 45:58
  Speaker 11: Patricia Giordano wants to go to the Tampa, Florida show.
• 46:04
  Speaker 11: That is on December 20th. And we have so many tickets.
• 46:07
  Speaker 11: So all these shows. But you have to go to JoeThomasInTheMorning.com
• 46:12
  Speaker 11: and they will give you the list. Father Frank Pavone,
• 46:16
  Speaker 11: Priests for Life, a new campaign of 501c4 so they
• 46:20
  Speaker 11: can campaign a little bit and do some get out
• 46:23
  Speaker 11: the vote stuff. But that was really the key is
• 46:26
  Speaker 11: getting out the vote on these constitutional amendments and even
• 46:31
  Speaker 11: the congressional races and remembering how far we've come in
• 46:36
  Speaker 11: restoring constitutional liberty.
• 46:39
  Speaker 20: Yeah, yeah.
• 46:40
  Speaker 10: It wouldn't happen without a Republican Congress.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: So that's one of the many motives that we should
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: have to say, hey, listen, let's do this. You know,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: if we believe in the agenda, it has nothing to
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: do with liking President Trump. It has to do with
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: the agenda that unites us all as an American first movement.
• 46:58
  Speaker 11: Well, and that's the thing. I mean, you look at
• 47:00
  Speaker 11: some of these things in the chilling subtexts of these
• 47:04
  Speaker 11: abortion amendments and the gay marriage amendments aren't even about
• 47:08
  Speaker 11: whether we agree with Leviticus or not. It's criminalizing dissent.
• 47:16
  Speaker 11: It is anathema to everything. When the founding fathers inserted
• 47:22
  Speaker 11: and made sure there couldn't be a state religion, this
• 47:26
  Speaker 11: abortionist movement is becoming— a congressionally mandated religion. And if
• 47:31
  Speaker 11: you dissent from it, you could be criminally charged if
• 47:35
  Speaker 11: you don't participate. I made the joke two days ago, Frank,
• 47:39
  Speaker 11: just extrapolating it to its extreme. I said, you know,
• 47:43
  Speaker 11: it could be, you know, if a guy doesn't go
• 47:45
  Speaker 11: home and sleep with a girl, he could be arrested
• 47:47
  Speaker 11: for denying her her right to an abortion. And I
• 47:51
  Speaker 11: know that sounds crazy, but if you read the law,
• 47:54
  Speaker 11: Anyone who does anything to deny a woman's right to
• 47:58
  Speaker 11: an abortion can be criminally charged. Anyone who does anything
• 48:02
  Speaker 11: to deny a same-sex couple the right to the sacrament
• 48:10
  Speaker 11: of marriage can be arrested. Crisis pregnancy centers and adoption
• 48:19
  Speaker 11: companies and things like that could all wind up being
• 48:22
  Speaker 11: criminal enterprises.
• 48:24
  Speaker 10: This is such an important point.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Let me articulate it this way for Virginia voters who
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: are wondering about this amendment. Friends, this is not a
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: choice between abortion being legal in Virginia or abortion being
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: banned in Virginia. That's not what the vote is on
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: this amendment.
• 48:41
  Speaker 10: The vote is a choice between the following.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Can the people of Virginia, through their elected representatives, set
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: abortion policy, whichever way they want, Or are we going
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: to abandon the consensus that has emerged both in Virginia
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: and across America for decades that while and if abortion
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: is legal, there should be certain reasonable regulations and restrictions.
• 49:07
  Speaker 10: Late-term abortion.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: There should be parental involvement when it's a minor.
• 49:11
  Speaker 10: Taxpayers should not be forced to fund it.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: And safety regulations on the clinics, promotion of alternatives to
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: abortion if that mother wants them, should be permitted.
• 49:22
  Speaker 10: What this amendment does is it does not permit.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: It throws out the window all those reasonable regulations and
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: restrictions that we as a people and through our courts
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: and through our laws have agreed for decades are reasonable
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: and favorable.
• 49:38
  Speaker 10: So that's the choice. It's not between legal or illegal.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: It's between reasonable regulations or unlimited abortion delivered by express
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: train on a silver platter.
• 49:49
  Speaker 10: Without anybody interfering. I want it and I want it now.
• 49:53
  Speaker 10: That's the notion behind these amendments.
• 49:55
  Speaker 11: And it targets such a small percentage of the population,
• 50:00
  Speaker 11: and yet we play like it is a mandate. We
• 50:04
  Speaker 11: play like it is, you know, the next free speech issue.
• 50:10
  Speaker 11: And I think that that has created a really dangerous
• 50:15
  Speaker 11: place where this kind of radical thought is going to become,
• 50:19
  Speaker 11: you know, what's the next agenda? Reparations or... mandated health
• 50:25
  Speaker 11: care records? You know, what's the thing that's going to
• 50:28
  Speaker 11: come up for another one of these constitutional amendments, Frank?
• 50:33
  Speaker 11: Because it all winds back to what you and I
• 50:36
  Speaker 11: have talked about is that expression, you know, as I
• 50:40
  Speaker 11: call it, if you're going to be self-governing, you need
• 50:42
  Speaker 11: to be self-governing. But it's that blockage, the Ten Commandments
• 50:48
  Speaker 11: have been driven from the town square.
• 50:52
  Speaker 14: Right, right.
• 50:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: And whether it's any one of these intersecting issues, can't
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: we work this out through robust public debate and the
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: legislative process? This is what the abortion industry and also
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: the transgender community.
• 51:09
  Speaker 10: Fanatics are afraid of.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: They're afraid when people really delve and sit down and
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: think about the issues, talk about them substantively, or have
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: a legislative process by which these things are debated.
• 51:20
  Speaker 10: There are hearings. There's a flexible timetable. There are amendments.
• 51:24
  Speaker 10: People can be lobbied. People can change their minds.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: That's so different from taking one election season and voting
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: on a paragraph that doesn't even accurately convey what's being
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: voted on.
• 51:38
  Speaker 10: I call it snapshot voting.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, how many people are going to be reading
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: this amendment for the very first time when they're about
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: to fill in that little circle on the ballot? No,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: we deserve, this issue deserves better, robust public debate. And
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: I think the other side is afraid of that public
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: debate because they know that we win.
• 51:56
  Speaker 11: Right, exactly. There's a good reason they don't want to
• 51:59
  Speaker 11: have a robust public debate on it. Father Frank, Where
• 52:03
  Speaker 11: can people get that video? You said you guys have
• 52:05
  Speaker 11: started a 501C3?
• 52:09
  Speaker 10: Yes, a C4. ProLifeVote.com. Yeah, ProLifeVote.com.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: Great video and downloadable flyers showing the contrast for America,
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: the contrast for Virginia that we face in this election.
• 52:22
  Speaker 11: Well, thank you, Father Frank. Father Frank Pavone, Priests for Life.
• 52:26
  Speaker 11: You know, we've got to get this right because they're
• 52:28
  Speaker 11: trying to gaslight us into thinking it is what it isn't.
• 52:32
  Speaker 11: Sven Gali like there. And thank you for helping me
• 52:35
  Speaker 11: shed the light on it. Thank you for being there
• 52:37
  Speaker 11: to have the light shed upon. And I'm going to
• 52:40
  Speaker 11: get one of those tape brushes to brush off the
• 52:43
  Speaker 11: shedding now. Until tomorrow, I am Joe Thomas. So long.
• 52:47
  Speaker 11: Thanks for all the fish.
