  Speaker 2: Making mornings great again.

  Speaker 1: We'll do it live.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: First thing today.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Do it live.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: On the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: And we'll do it live.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Joe works at the steel mill. He's down here every day.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Even Saturdays. Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: Drops the kids to school and all the work.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
• 0:22
  Speaker 5: All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:24
  Speaker 6: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:27
  Speaker 7: He only aims.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: To please you. Thank you for letting me be of
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: service to you this weekend. Friends back in my home
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: base where this all started for me, Long Island News Radio.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Of course, it was WRCN, Suffolk County's pure rock and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: roll at the time, but that's okay because I still
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: know how to take listener phone calls and go on
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: longer than my consultant would let me go on for.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: But I don't have to worry about getting 12 songs
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: in an hour anymore. So it's freedom! And our new
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: friends at the Right Talk for Las Vegas, as well
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: as our flagship station here in Virginia, where the glassy-eyed
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: expression on many of your neighbors is the fact that
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: we've already started voting again. The midterms have begun. I
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: was reading a piece about mailing, you can drop off
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: your mail-in ballots in Minnesota. I don't know if our
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: station up in Minneapolis is one of the Saturday devotees
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: as well, but I know that it's begun. And probably
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: a lot sooner than a lot of people were ready
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: for it, especially in Virginia. I was talking to a
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: friend of mine here in our flagship state, and they said, well,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you got to understand, In December, we were voting on redistricting.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Remember the redistricting mania? And then by March, it was
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: into the primaries. February. And then from there, I mean,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: it was barely a month or two before we really
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: got into the teeth of this. And everyone wants to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: know about the midterms. And I was reading some coverage
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of the Russian elections. And I know our friend Bob
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: is out there in Moscow. But I was reading particularly
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a piece written by Chris Ruddy's folks out at Newsmax.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: And they are definitely portraying this. And you can see
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: in the way they're writing this that this is how
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: they're going to be covering the midterms as well. That
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: this is a push and Putin is trying to get
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: parliamentary support for more wars in Poland and strikes against NATO.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And that's why he's pushing so hard for all these
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: folks at the midterms for his first, I guess, parliamentary
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: election since the invasion. That's crazy to think about. Wasn't
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: that like a decade and a half ago when they
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: started their two week invasion into? I know it was
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: over five, though. So they haven't had a parliamentary election
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: in five years. In England, they can't go five months
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: without having a referendum on the prime minister. Anyway, our
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: first things this Saturday morning. We'll pause for a moment
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to let all of our European friends and all the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: detractors of President Trump finish swallowing their crow this morning. Good?
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Want some milk with that? Friday, an agreement between Denmark, Greenland,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and the United States was signed, strengthening U.S. security. I
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: promised myself I wasn't going to laugh as I reported this.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: The three governments said they plan to sign the deal
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: next week at the United Nations. The Danish prime minister's
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: office said the three governments will be signing there. President
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Trump also Friday signed a law sweeping sanctions on those
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: who send money to Vlad the Invader there. It is
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the bill that was passed in the name of Lindsey Graham.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: European governments are bracing, as the parliamentary elections go on
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in Russia, for continued aggressions now against NATO countries if
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin wins big support in this election. President Trump
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: on Friday defended his decision to ban MSNOW, Politico, and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: CNN from the White House. Because they're fake news, he said,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you get so tired of reading and seeing fake news,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: he told reporters in the Oval Office. Federal judge who
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: blocked the creation of $ 1. 776 billion anti-weaponization fund, as it
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: was called, this was made from the settlement when the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: IRS said to the President, okay, we released your tax
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: returns to the public illegally. What do you want? And
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: this is what President Trump said. Judge Leonie Brinkma in
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Northern Virginia said she's not done believing that this issue
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: is alive and kicking when asked to dismiss the challenges
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to it. In an interim staff report from the House
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Administration Judiciary and Oversight Committee's said ActBlue potentially allowed foreign
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: donations to American elections. That, if you're not up on
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the law, is verboten. And the Department of Justice said
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Friday of law bison.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: Experience the power and magic of the ghosts of Christmas Eve,
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: the best of TSO.

  Speaker 1: And that's MediShare.

  Speaker 8: Maybe you've heard joining MediShare can save you or your

  Speaker 8: family up to $ 500 a month, and that's huge.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: But it's also true. People are just happier with it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: their values and what they believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: MediShare works, too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: It's been around for 30 years now, and members have

• 8:03
  Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 9: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells, even
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.

  Speaker 10: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 10: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 10: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 10: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 11: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 12: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 12: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 12: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 12: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 12: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 12: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 12: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:17
  Speaker 12: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 12: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 12: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 12: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 12: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
• 10:33
  Speaker 12: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 12: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 12: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 12: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 12: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:47
  Speaker 12: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 12: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 12: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 14: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 14: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 15: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 11: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:26
  Speaker 13: Boop!
• 11:28
  Speaker 16: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 16: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 16: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39

• 12:32
  Speaker 17: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35

• 13:16
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the talk media network.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: This is where the DJ talks.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Don't say anything.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Okay. Is that, is that me? Am I supposed to
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: be a long time since I've had any D's to J.
• 13:35
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 13:36
  Speaker 18: Good day and welcome to our single. I'm Bob McKenzie
• 13:39
  Speaker 18: and this is my brother Doug.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Beauty. Would you like, would you like to broil that?
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: So there was a radio program. I distinctly remember. I
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: listened to it every morning back in the, Oh, Donald
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Trump's going to invade Greenland. And of course, it's fun
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: because everything has to be a Tom Clancy novel, doesn't it?
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: President Trump said very clearly, and I heard him, I
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: baffled why other people in my business didn't hear him,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: that he was concerned in the fact that Russia and
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: China had a foothold here On the American side of
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the globe, when it came to the new shipping lanes
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: around the North Pole, there's more and more shipping lanes,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: better technology, whatever the reason. Al Gore has melted the
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: northern ice cap, whatever it may have been. There are
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: more navigable waters there. north of America. And so having
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: a Space Force base there, and we'll get into Space
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Force in a little while. Having a Space Force base
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: in Greenland is one thing, but President Trump said we
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: need to get Russia and China out of Greenland so
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: they can't do what Iran is doing to the Strait
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: of Hormuz. saying, hey, these are our territorial waters because
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: we've got thus and such and these and the other
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: thing there and you can't. But everyone wanted to make, oh,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Trump just wants to annex Greenland. He makes it the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: 51st state. He's going to have a casino there. And
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: there was no real depth to it. It was all
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the punchlines and the caricatures of President Trump that have
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: been around since Russia, Russia, Russia. And that scent that
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: you smelled was the rosemary that they used to dress
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: the crow in as they fry it for everyone to
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: suck on this morning. Would you like a drumstick? I'll
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: get some letters saying, you know, crow is endangered and
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: you need to, you know, PETA will be after you
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: for going after crows. I've got one that lives in
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the tree out in front of my house. My wife
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: loves having crows. I'm not sure I know exactly why
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: having crows is good, but apparently it's a good omen.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Having Michael Sheen and David Tennant would
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: be a good omen for me as well as the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: obscure British, quote, comedies for 500 Alex. But as you
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: chow down on your breakfast crow this morning, because the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Danish president has confirmed— I mean, this isn't Trump just bloviating,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: as they like to say he is, to the press corps, braggadocio, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Mr. President,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: are you going to tear down the Kennedy Center? No,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I'm going to move it to Greenland. I mean, why not?
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: So the agreement, the arrangement gives the United States, quote,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: called it an infinite life deal with no cost to
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Washington and barred U.S. adversaries from basing troops or making
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: sensitive investments in the semi-autonomous Danish territory. without U.S. approval.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Sounds kind of like
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: what he said he was going to do in the
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: first flight, don't you think? How many times do we
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: have to do this? How many times are people going
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: to call me and say, that's it, Joe. Trump's going
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: to annex Greenland. We're going to send troops into Greenland.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: And I would have to talk people off the ledge.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: And then I would get accused of being a sycophant,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: a Trumpist. The president posted to social media the administration
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: would immediately begin developing a large military presence on the island.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Danish prime minister's office said the three governments are expected
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: to sign the deal at the UN Security Council meetings
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: next week. And the Venezuela and the Abraham Accords and
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia and Syria. And we're out of Iraq. Did
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: you see that last week? We pulled out of Iraq.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: So we're done there. I just, I know it's my job.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: But I want to work forward. I don't want to
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: spend inordinate amounts of time because you know how I
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: loathe to say, I told you so. It's just, it's
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: like nails on the chalkboard to me every time you
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: force me, you force me, you give me no choice
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: but to say, I.
• 19:47
  Speaker 11: Told you so.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: So last week also, since we're talking about the space
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: coast-to-coast base on Greenland, the story broke that an official
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: with the administration was on one of the Sunday talkers
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and admitted there was a weapon in space. that U.S.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: had defensive capabilities in space. And like the runner in
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: that High Rocks race, the Democrats, and by the way,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: that photograph of the runner in that High Rocks race,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: she has forfeited her win. And I was looking at
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: what this race is supposed to depict. I don't see
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: what her grounds are for forfeiting. And I'd like to
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: know what the sanctioning body is saying for forcing her to,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: it seems like this race is supposed to drive you
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: to the point where you lose bowel control. And so
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: she lost bowel control. It's not like she, you know,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: just as a tangent, they make it sound like the
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: reason she won is because she pooed herself. There's no
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: other runner anywhere near her. It's not like she was
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: having explosive diarrhea. And everyone who was running behind her
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: stopped and fell to the ground and went, like something
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: out of a James Bond movie. But that's how the
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: press is portraying it. And now she's been forced to
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: give it up. But anyway, when the admission came from
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: an administration official that there are some weapon platforms in space,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: like the runner in the High Rocks race, the left
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: immediately lost what remained of its bowel control, filled its
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: colostomy bag, busted through its adult diaper. And we're going
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: to have to fix this one again next.
• 22:01
  Speaker 18: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
• 22:04
  Speaker 18: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
• 22:08
  Speaker 18: at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a
• 22:11
  Speaker 18: week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes does
• 22:15
  Speaker 18: not need to be super intense. As a matter of fact,
• 22:17
  Speaker 18: it could just be you moving your body and doing
• 22:19
  Speaker 18: what you already love to do, like exercise. And a
• 22:22
  Speaker 18: stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right? It means also

  Speaker 13: For decades, America's offshore oil industry has relied on Port Fouchon, Louisiana.
• 23:01
  Speaker 13: But now, as wind energy continues to grow, many of
• 23:05
  Speaker 13: these vessels, these companies, these people are building and servicing
• 23:09
  Speaker 13: the offshore wind industry. Moving equipment, installing turbines, transporting crews,
• 23:14
  Speaker 13: it's a huge opportunity, and we're proud to.
• 23:16
  Speaker 11: Be a part of that. U.S.
• 23:17
  Speaker 19: Offshore wind has already announced over $ 25 billion in infrastructure investments.

  Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 9: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation... Our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 9: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: least slow the spread of cancer. and in many instances,
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 24:57

  Speaker 10: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 25:10
  Speaker 10: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 25:13
  Speaker 10: will be arrested, if you don't make payments or provide
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 25:21
  Speaker 10: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 25:26
  Speaker 10: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 25:29
  Speaker 10: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 25:33
  Speaker 10: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 25:38
  Speaker 10: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 25:43
  Speaker 10: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 25:46

  Speaker 15: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 25:57
  Speaker 19: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: Heart and brain.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 14: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:13
  Speaker 14: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 15: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Me too.
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:23
  Speaker 16: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:26
  Speaker 16: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:30
  Speaker 16: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 16: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:37
  Speaker 16: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 16: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 16: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 16: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 16: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 16: new appliance. Look for the ENERGY STAR logo and read
• 26:59
  Speaker 16: the ENERGY GUIDE label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 16: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 16: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 16: and keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

• 27:37
  Speaker 4: a brother like you.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Lucky.
• 27:40
  Speaker 14: Caring for my brother is far from easy. But he's
• 27:43
  Speaker 14: a part of me, like my arms and legs, so
• 27:45
  Speaker 14: I'll be his. No time for tired. Nothing can disable
• 27:49
  Speaker 14: this love. He needs me, but I'm the lucky one,

  Speaker 2: Talk radio just the way your mother used to make it.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:18
  Speaker 20: Space, the final frontier.
• 28:27
  Speaker 16: These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: Its five-year mission, to explore.
• 28:33
  Speaker 16: Strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations.
• 28:39
  Speaker 20: To boldly go where no man has gone before.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: You remember when Donald Trump announced the start of Space Force,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: and it got so bad that even Steve Carell signed
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: on to do a very ponderous sitcom based on his
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: command of Space Force. I think even Ed Begley Jr.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: was involved in this. And even then, I said, you
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: guys don't understand what Jack Kennedy was saying about space
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: back in 1962.
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: And the first wave of nuclear power.
• 29:19
  Speaker 21: And this generation does not intend to founder in the
• 29:23
  Speaker 21: backwash of the coming age of space.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: We mean to be a part of it.
• 29:28
  Speaker 21: We mean to lead it.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: This is the famous Rice University speech that nobody plays
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the important bits of when they talk about weapons above
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: the Earth's orbit.
• 29:41
  Speaker 21: For the eyes of the world now look into space,
• 29:45
  Speaker 21: to the moon and to the planets beyond. And we
• 29:50
  Speaker 21: have vowed that we shall not see it governed by
• 29:55
  Speaker 21: a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: And that's the key. And how do you do that?
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: And he goes on later in the speech to draw
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: more analogous relationships to our U.S. Navy.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: U.S.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Navy has guns.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: U.S.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Navy has missiles.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: U.S.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Navy has fighter jets. And so to say that we
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have weapons in space is like saying we shouldn't
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: have weapons in the oceans. We don't have weapons in
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: the ocean to make people do what we want. We
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: have weapons in the ocean so that when the Somalis
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: get frisky or that Iran tries to bomb a ship
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: full of oil going through the Strait of Hormuz, we
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: can do something about it, and then the ship can
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: go on its way. Same deal in space. I love
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: this one It blew my mind. Fox News goes gets CSIS.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: That's the Center for Space Independent something or another. And
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: they got him and they said, we have coming up
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: next an expert on the weapons that the U.S. has
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: in space. I'm like, oh, well, that's that seems interesting. Interesting.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Let me let me see what it is that they
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: have in space. So this Swope character. The U.S.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: Doesn't have a history of talking about space weapons like this.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, OK, so we don't have a history
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: about it, mainly probably because we don't want. China to
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: know what we have. Clayton Swope continues.
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: We don't know what has been developed in the past
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: or any kind of focus in areas.
• 31:37
  Speaker 16: It's really anybody's guess what type of weapon we're talking about.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: At this point, I throw something at my computer monitor
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: and say, what the hell are you doing on my
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: television then? We've got an expert. You know what? I've
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: got an expert. Kareem's on the line. Kareem has got
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: about as much expertise as Clayton Swope as to what
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: weapons we have in space. Vis-a-vis none. Yet Fox News
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: insisted on putting on Clayton Swope and telling me, oh,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: stay tuned through the commercial break. We've got an expert
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: telling us what weapons are in space. And the first
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: thing he says, I have no idea. Oh, my God.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: It's just. This is why there's no good comedy on
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: television anymore, because television is comedy. Thank you for hanging
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: on the line, Kareem. How are you doing this Saturday morning? Joe,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I'm doing very well. I hit the gym.
• 32:31
  Speaker 22: But first, I'd like to applaud and thank Common Ground
• 32:34
  Speaker 22: for the hospitality yesterday.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: And thank you again for letting me stop in and
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: have a cup of coffee. It's nice meeting people in person.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: There's no point in going to these things if you
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: want to sit there and say, leave me alone. I
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: don't like talking to people. Then don't go to these things.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: So it was good to see you. Good to meet
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: you in person. So what's on your mind this morning?
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: A lot of things. I'll try to stay focused on Denmark.
• 32:57
  Speaker 22: The people of Greenland– I'm sorry. Denmark themselves are having
• 33:01
  Speaker 22: an issue with layoffs and migrant violence.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: As is much of Europe. As is much of Europe.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Those videos don't lie, Joe.
• 33:12
  Speaker 22: As we look at the energy prices going up, And
• 33:16
  Speaker 22: they have pledged to Greenland. The EU has pledged to
• 33:18
  Speaker 22: Greenland to double the amount of money that they already
• 33:21
  Speaker 22: pay them to financial assistance starting in 2028. Joe, that's
• 33:27
  Speaker 22: like writing a check from– well, I'll let you fill
• 33:30
  Speaker 22: in the blank of whoever you want to write that
• 33:31
  Speaker 22: check from, but it's going to be rubber. It's going
• 33:33
  Speaker 22: to bounce pretty high. We do need to spread out
• 33:37
  Speaker 22: our censors. But we desperately need icebreakers to get over
• 33:41
  Speaker 22: that northern route. And we actually have to contract with
• 33:44
  Speaker 22: Europe to build– right now I think we have seven
• 33:47
  Speaker 22: or five. They're going to build the first two over there,
• 33:50
  Speaker 22: and we're going to send some of our people there
• 33:51
  Speaker 22: to learn how to do it. And then they're going
• 33:53
  Speaker 22: to come over here, the Europeans and the people that
• 33:56
  Speaker 22: we sent over there to get trained, and build the
• 33:58
  Speaker 22: others of that contract. Joe, it's nice that Donald Trump
• 34:03
  Speaker 22: has made a deal with EU and Denmark. But the
• 34:07
  Speaker 22: people of Greenland themselves have voted consistently for independence. But
• 34:11
  Speaker 22: bless their hearts, they voted last time not to get
• 34:15
  Speaker 22: independence fast, but to gradually get independent, Joe.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: So I do think it's a boon. Go ahead. Do
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: you know who the only other person is that's talked
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: about an independent Greenland in this whole conversation?
• 34:31
  Speaker 21: Who is it, Joe?
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Donald J.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Trump.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: He's the one who said it from the get-go. He said,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: of course they should be free. They should have the
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: most wonderful, you know, whatever, how he does. But yeah,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: he talked about this from the drop, that Greenland should
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: be its own country.
• 34:52
  Speaker 22: And he also said he would not put a Trump
• 34:54
  Speaker 22: Tower casino right on their property.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: I remember that tweet clearly. That's right. Can you imagine
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: that waterfront? You know, the Arctic Circle up there and,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: you know, come, you know, it's a waterfront property. And,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: you know, there are tourist trips up to that neck
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: of the woods. You get north of, what is it,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: the 45th degrees and you start to get into the
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: serious cold. But there are people who take trips up
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: there and they have tours and you walk out on
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: the glaciers and pretend you're a character in an Al
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Gore movie. It's great. It's awesome. But you're right about
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: the icebreakers, still need them, still need boats. But the
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: big point was China and Russia had bases that were
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: ostensibly in the kind of place they could get straight
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: of Hormuz-like on that passage. And this was what Trump
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: wanted to stop from the get-go, was that the Russian
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: and Chinese bases on the north part of Greenland had
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: got to go. And that's all this was ever about.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: And I feel bad for the people of Greenland who
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: were so gaslit by the American media coming there and saying,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump wants to take over your country. We have
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: a message for Donald Trump. And whatever the Danish word
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: for up yours is, and I'm sure somebody will look
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: it up for me, but that was basically what happened.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden it's like, wait, what?
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: They're waking up in Greenland saying, hold it, what just happened?
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: And I feel for the Danish ministers there because they're
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: going to be rioted against. They're going to be like U.S.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court justices. They're going to be out in front
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: of their houses. They're going to be burning them in
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: effigy because for months now, the Europeans have allowed this
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: vilification of whatever was going on. And this is the
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: fruit of it. This is what winds up happening. It's
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: fun and games while you... gather your quick hits on
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: the press, but there are real-life manifestations after you all leave.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: This is why the phrase drive-by media was so brilliant.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: They came in, they machined-gunned the entire community in Greenland
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: and left, and now a deal actually is struck, and
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it's going to be hugely controversial.
• 37:25
  Speaker 22: It will be, especially constructing the bases that we'll need
• 37:27

  Speaker 7: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:06
  Speaker 7: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 18: Yes!
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:21
  Speaker 7: favorite form of ear candy.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, my.
• 40:24
  Speaker 7: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 7: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: And with every item you buy, you fund local job

  Speaker 1: Goodwill.

  Speaker 7: Bring good home.
• 40:58
  Speaker 19: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 19: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 19: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 19: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 19: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:22
  Speaker 19: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 19: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  Speaker 19: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:33
  Speaker 19: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:37
  Speaker 19: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: Eat better.

  Speaker 3: Cramp! Oh, I have a cramp.

  Speaker 5: I can probably hit the green from here.

  Speaker 1: Probably. Ready to go?
• 43:27
  Speaker 20: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm probably okay. Probably okay isn't okay, especially when

  Speaker 2: I'm afraid of the Russians. I can't sleep at night.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: So afraid of the Russians. Afraid we've got to fight.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: So I was reading this. This is my favorite bit,
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: is when they start laying the seeds for comparative shopping.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: We're back to Russia, Russia, Russia again. We're back to
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Transfire or whatever it is, Hurricane. Trump is just Putin's puppet.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: I'm going to read to you a news story written
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: about the Russian elections going on this week. European governments
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: are bracing. News story carries no reference to which European
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: countries or how they're bracing, but back to the story.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: New European governments are bracing for a possible escalation by
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: Russian President Vladimir Putin following Russia's parliamentary elections, with Western
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: intelligence officials warning that Moscow is preparing the groundwork for, again,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: without reference, new troop mobilizations that could intensify attacks against
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: NATO countries. The UK Telegraph reported Friday, the story goes on,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: that Western intelligence officials, again, not referencing which country's intelligence,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: just somebody aligned with the West, could be Turkey, I
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: don't know if I can Western intelligence officials believe Russia
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: is laying the administrative groundwork for what one source described.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: One person called the newsroom and said, yeah, I was
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: watching Russia today, and this is what I think is
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: going on. You should log into this. One source described
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: as a possible stealth mobilization after the three-day parliamentary elections
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: conclude Sunday. What we are seeing is administrative preparations to
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: make it possible to do it. Translation means somebody's made
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: a plan to have a meeting to make a plan
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: for something. If that is the decision, the intelligence source
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: told the telegraph. That's so good. But tell me this
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: isn't also what the left-wing media in the United States
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: is saying about Donald Trump and our midterms. Donald Trump
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: is getting, you know, a power base together and the
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: campaigners who are out there against Republicans are out there saying, oh,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: Trump just wants more sycophants. Just yes men to rubber
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: stamp all of his forever wars. which, I mean, we
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: just pulled our last troops out of Iraq. Nobody covered that,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: did they? I think we mentioned it on this program
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: a little bit. So they're saying, you know, Putin's trying
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: to win the parliamentary elections, resoundingly, I guess, so that
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: he has this mandate to take his shirt off and
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: ride a horse into Ukraine himself. to finally put down
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: the resistance, just like Trump wants to win the midterms
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: so he can arrest and jail all of his opponents.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: The laughable bit of this is that these are the
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: same people who And understand, this is World Economic Forum-driven slop,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: because they want Ukraine. They want Ukraine in the same
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: way the U.S. wanted Greenland. Three words, rare earth minerals.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: These countries are battlegrounds, whether they be economic or kinetic,
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: because of the stuff underneath them. The sad thing is
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: that the people don't benefit as much as they should,
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: as much as they would under capitalism. But I'll fight
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: that battle at another point because I like this country.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Before we start worrying about whether Iran or Turkey can
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: benefit with a free market, how about we try us
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: benefiting with a free market? What's truly fascinating to me
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: about the Russian, quote, elections is that these are the
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: first ones since the war took place. And thus, again,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: you see the narrative, oh, Trump's going to suspend Russia
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: Everything is going to be Trump's going to suspend. Trump
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: is going to suspend the elections. I mean, we're September
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: 19th and he hasn't yet. I mean, is he waiting
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: for November 1st to cancel the elections? This is going
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: to be salty people who filled out their ballots. But
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: this is that hypothetical stuff that, to be fair, tripped
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: them all up in Greenland as well. Didn't trip me up.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Not because I want to be special or anything. Just
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: want to tell you that, sure, some of these stories
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: sound like we're taking a victory lap for Donald Trump,
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing. I don't know what happened in this,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: but we are finding more and more news stories about
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: suicide attempts, celebrity suicides, Hayden Panettiere reports now leaking out
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: of the medical examiner about fentanyl. A reminder that if
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: you're not supposed to be taking pain meds prescribed by
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: your doctor, buying them from some guy... who says he
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: knows how to get them from some guy, is playing
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: Russian roulette. And now we're finding out this from Las Vegas.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Carrot Top, who's been doing a residency down there in
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: Vegas for a while now, apparently tried to commit suicide
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: and is in the hospital. Luxor announced. And you say, well,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: what does he have to— you know, you don't know, and,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: you know, you can certainly make hypotheses that, you know,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: he's been somewhat typecast. And I know that there are
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of performers who don't like being typecast. But
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: we all can learn from that. I mean, you know,
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: who are we and what are we doing? Some say
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: that residency in Vegas did serious damage to Elvis. But
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: you had the colonel telling him he couldn't go to
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: Europe and tour because the colonel couldn't go to Europe
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: and tour. Who are you and what are you bringing
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: to the table? And we don't know. But so frequently, isolation,
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: even amongst a group of people. I mean, I'm sure
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: Carrot Top had a staff. people around him who were
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: keeping calendars and whatnot. But you still, I mean, sometimes
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: that's the worst kind of isolation that you find yourself in,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: surrounded by people.
• 52:51
  Speaker 11: My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my
• 52:54
  Speaker 11: leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:55
  Speaker 13: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
• 52:58
  Speaker 13: weightlifting champion.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I'm Sam.
• 53:01
  Speaker 11: I'm a veteran.
• 53:02
  Speaker 20: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
• 53:04
  Speaker 20: of and supporting my family.

• 53:11
  Speaker 1: My victory was going from homeless to home.
