"The Do-Gooders" (FTTxJT Tue 092926 hr3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Any time you and I question the schemes of the do-gooders,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: we're denounced as being against their humanitarian goal.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: It's just that they know so much that isn't so.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Joe works at a steel mill.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: He's damn near every day.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:27
  Speaker 5: Drops the kids to school and on the way.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Joe has everything he dreamed of. All the treasures that
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: he needs.
• 0:34
  Speaker 6: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: He only aims to please you. Let me be your Joe.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: Questioning the schemes of the do-gooders since 25. Let me
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: be your Joe. You're on the Dog Media Network. We
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: as a program have been questioning the schemes of the
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: do-gooders Since 2003, when iHeartMedia said, Mr. Thomas, you're 40
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: years old. That's way too old to be spinning top
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: 40 records. We don't want you associated with Matchbox 20
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: and Britney Spears anymore. And they showed me the door.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: And I haven't been a DJ ever since. I found
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: a talk radio station. And the best part is when
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: there is never that meeting where somebody says, I.
• 1:24
  Speaker 7: Think you talk too much in between the records, Joe.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: You never get that in this. So many text messages
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: coming in here. This one. Are we cynical about politicians
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: or are we living in realville? We've failed to perform
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: our duties by thinking our elected officials will do the
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: work all while our elected officials are failing to perform
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: their duties. That's so true. But that's what I mean
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: when I say We are approaching our quote-unquote time for choosing.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: And I've been pulling quotes from Ronald Reagan's, Governor Reagan's
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: speech in 1964. The Great Society, the ink hadn't even
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: dried on the Great Society. Hamp in Virginia Beach picking up, no,
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Hamp on the Treasure Coast. Sorry, Hamp. Scott in Virginia
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Beach has one too. We'll get to him in a second. Hey,
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: did anyone pass that time zone bill yet? You mean
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: the one about permanent daylight savings time? No, not that.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: How about the SAVE Act? No, no.
• 2:36
  Speaker 8: No?
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Okay, let's vote for them anyway. You know, and right
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: now it is that Faustian, you know, is it better
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: than the others? Now, understand, if there's a majority of
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Senate Democrats... Not only will President Trump get impeached by
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: the House, he will be removed from office. And you
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: can put that in the bank there. As Scott in
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Virginia Beach, hey, where do all the NGOs get all
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: their money? Well, that's where Liz Truss, who was for
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: some time the prime minister of England, because, you know, England,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: they changed their prime minister position. about once every two
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: or three weeks, sort of like the way that sports
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: networks change the talk show host on your sports radio programs.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: But Liz Truss was the only one I ever heard
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: use the phrase quango, quasi non-government agency. And it's a
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: much more apt term, Scott, because they get government grant
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: money to do their good work. Our first things this morning,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: speaking of Britain, five British men were arrested near a U.S.-operated
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Air Force base, and they have been now released on bail.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: The counterterror detectives say they're investigating multiple lines of inquiry,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: but they thought it was safe to say, why don't
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: you go out and see if you can find the
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: young lady who reported you to us in the first place,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: because that couldn't go badly. Senate Majority Leader John Thune,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: flush off of successfully passing the Protect College Sports from
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: College Sports Act, said it shouldn't be paid for with
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: taxpayer dollars when queried about a series of advertisements portrayed
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: as public service announcements, which I was always taught meant
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: that they didn't cost any money to get onto the air,
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: but $ 1. 4 million has been spent buying airtime for something
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: that they call public service announcements. And in this case,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: it is trumpeting some of President Trump's accomplishments, much in
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: the way Barack Obama ran similar public service announcements, paying
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: advertising for Obamacare. And President Biden's administration ran ads saying,
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: look at how well we did with COVID. I mentioned
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: the Senate passing the bill that will protect college sports from, well,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: college sports. 77 to 22 is the final vote. We
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: give the NCAA new authority over rules that govern the NCAA.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: National Security Agency and other military intelligence operators will be
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: guarding election systems during the November midterm, Secretary of War
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Pete Hegseth said on Monday. Today is the Make America
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Healthy Again Summit. Controversial because it's sponsored by Walmart and
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: HIMSS and HERS and two AI companies.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: But Robert F.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Kennedy Jr. and J.D. Vance will speak at the event.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: And SpaceX successfully launched an orbited starship. It landed safely
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: and then turned over and burst into flames.
• 6:07
  Speaker 9: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co-host of Foster and Friends
• 6:10
  Speaker 9: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
• 6:13
  Speaker 9: famed lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
• 6:16
  Speaker 9: word win stood for what's important now. The Lunch Pail
• 6:20

  Speaker 13: You were strolling along in goodwill. When just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 13: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them, nestled
• 9:09
  Speaker 13: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes!
• 9:15
  Speaker 14: Yes!
• 9:16
  Speaker 13: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 9:20
  Speaker 13: favorite form of ear candy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 12: Oh, my.
• 9:24
  Speaker 13: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: Shh.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Do you smell that?
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Shh.
• 9:32
  Speaker 13: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: And with every item.

  Speaker 13: You buy, you fund local job training and more.
• 9:43
  Speaker 15: So go forth.
• 9:45
  Speaker 13: Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home so much
• 9:49
  Speaker 13: good to your community.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Goodwill.
• 9:54
  Speaker 13: Bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 16: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 16: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 16: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 16: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 16: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 16: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:24
  Speaker 16: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 16: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 16: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 16: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: Eat better.
• 10:42

  Speaker 2: My name is Jim.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: I'm a veteran, and I lost both legs in Vietnam.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: My victory was proving that a disability is not a limitation.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I'm Julius. I'm a veteran.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: My victory was going from homeless to home.
• 11:03

  Speaker 19: No word in the English language is less convincing.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Then probably.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 13: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 20: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 19: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: I can probably swim.
• 12:05
  Speaker 12: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 13: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: Cannonball!
• 12:11
  Speaker 11: Cramp!
• 12:12
  Speaker 19: I have a cramp.
• 12:16
  Speaker 10: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Probably....
• 12:23
  Speaker 18: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 20: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 19: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 19: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 19: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
• 12:45
  Speaker 19: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: You know the legal drinking age is 21. You may
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: also know this law protects teens. Find out more at DontServeTeens.gov.

• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Talk radio just the way your mother used to make it.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, what a day it's unfolding to be. I want
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: to spend a couple of minutes on the restoration of rights.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: And I mean my restoration. I've had a restaurational moment
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: and I'm sad about it. because a fellow that I
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: really thought was quite good proved it. Proved it. Cemented
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: the idea that this guy is exactly what we need
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: more of in our public representations. Met him. He wanted
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: to be on the school board because he went to
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: the school, kind of like Welcome Back, Cotter, if you're
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: old enough to remember the sitcom. He went to the schools.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: He went through the school division when he was a kid. Graduated,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: went off, achieved greater degrees, became an educator himself, came
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: back home and started a ministry and said, you know what,
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: there's going to be an election. I want to run
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: for school board so I can make some of these
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: decisions and help maybe shepherd other school board members to
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: making better decisions based on ethical beliefs. And he built
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: his campaign off of this. And he has restored some
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: of my faith that was buried under the detritus of
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Harcourt Fenton Reed, the former Senate leader who said famously,
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: why doesn't somebody ask Mitt Romney about taxes?
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: I don't think he's ever paid. People have told me
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: he's never paid any taxes. You should ask him. And
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: it wasn't even that he said that. He said it
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: behind that famous lectern on the floor of the U.S.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Senate, Mr. Smith goes to hell. And when queried about
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: the fact that there was no reality at all to
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: the accusation that Mitt Romney had not paid his taxes,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Harry Reid said, well, he didn't win, did he? And
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: thus was born a generation of politicians who will say
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: anything about anyone anywhere as long as they can keep
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: them from winning.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Marxist, don't vote for MAGA.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Everything has been don't vote for. And very little is
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: ever portrayed of why I should vote for you. Well,
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: I'm not the other guy. Oh, well, that's easy enough.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: I could have figured that out. I could have saved
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: you a fortune in mailers and radio ads. I could
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: tell you weren't the other guy. But I tell you
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: the story of K.J. Washington. Because KJ got embroiled into
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: a story over the weekend that, honestly, most politicians would
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: just brush off and say, I'm sorry, it was a staffer,
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: and he's been let go, and obviously I didn't authorize
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: his statement. So somebody on his campaign, one of the volunteers,
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: and understand, this is a school board race. This is
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: a school board race in an area of the country
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: with more professional members of the media than some major
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: metropolitan areas have. As we collect new affiliates, we have
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Chattanooga and go all the way back to the beginning
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: and Vero Beach and Treasure Coast and all points in
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: between San Antonio and Minneapolis. And I realized that there
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: are more people earning a living in some sort of
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: quote unquote journalistic pursuit in central Virginia, mostly because of
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: our proximity to Washington, D.C., and our proclivity to light
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: ourselves on fire in the town square to see if
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: anyone will pay attention to it, our desperate need for
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: the footlights. The press is all covering this story that
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Some MAGA school board candidate has been outed because his
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: campaign staffer had made unprovable statements about monies at a
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: local homeless charity that this fellow's opponent ran. She was
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: the chair of this nonprofit homeless charity, and somebody in
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: his campaign staff had made some allegations, some allusions to
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: mismanagement of those funds. And rather than just say, well,
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: the person has been fired and I don't stand by
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: what they said and they didn't clear it by me,
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: but I stand for blah, blah, blah, whatever Harry Reid
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: would have said. I believe there are more important issues
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: afoot than something a campaign staffer said in error on
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: a Friday night, whatever. No, what KJ did was step
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: out of the race. His name's on the ballot. They've
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: already started voting. He's got votes in the bank. But
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: he said, I'm not running. He said, I don't want
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: the job. If I win, I don't want the job
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: because my campaign broke a cardinal rule. And that he
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: didn't want to win a campaign based around scurrilous citizens.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: statements about his opponent. You live in a world, September 26th,
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: pardon me, September 29th, 2026, where somebody will step aside,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: step out of a political campaign and because his opponent
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: made unprovable statements or his campaign staff, somebody on his
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: staff had made unprovable statements about his opponent's ethics. And
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: I'm sad because he's not going to be on the
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: school board in this area. I'm proud that we have
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: people like that still in the world. And I want
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: there to be more of them. And I don't want
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: them to fall prey to folks zealously trying to win
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: an election that will go Harry Reid on people. And
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: I'm glad to see that when a Harry Reid type
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: situation pops up within a, you know, school boards are nonpartisan,
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: but this guy was conservative of root. He's been on
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: my program.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: I've met him.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: He's a really good guy. And I wish we had
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: him on the school board. Mostly because when faced with
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: this sort of situation, he said, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: The buck stops with me. This was somebody working for
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: my campaign. And then they made these kind of statements.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: I can't I can't accept votes that come in under
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: the allegation of this. I'm stepping out of the campaign.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: I don't want the job. If I win, I'm not
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: going to take the job. And you may have a
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: different view of that, but on this Tuesday morning, I
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: find that awfully refreshing. Heartbreaking, because in that refreshment, I
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: wish he was on the school board.
• 22:01
  Speaker 21: Hey, I'm Brant, and her name is Sherry.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 22:04
  Speaker 21: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 21: for because of a surgery she just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 12: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  Speaker 12: talk about all the time, which is?
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: MediShare.
• 22:14
  Speaker 12: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 22:15
  Speaker 21: So what was your experience like with MediShare and the
• 22:18
  Speaker 21: health care bills?
• 22:18
  Speaker 12: Honestly, Brant, seamless. And what a blessing that is. When
• 22:21
  Speaker 12: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
• 22:24
  Speaker 12: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 12: me tell you, Having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 12: call in with your need, that is just... It is refreshing. Yes,
• 22:34
  Speaker 12: that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 21: But I keep telling people, people love MediShare and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 21: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 12: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different.
• 22:46
  Speaker 12: And I mean different in a very, very good way.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: It is good different. Call now.
• 22:50
  Speaker 21: They're easy to talk to and you can get a
• 22:52
  Speaker 21: price within two minutes.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: Call 855-SHARE-40. That's 855-SHARE-40.

  Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 23:02
  Speaker 23: Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Artificial
• 23:07
  Speaker 23: intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver better
• 23:11
  Speaker 23: care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that speed up diagnoses
• 23:17
  Speaker 23: to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports veterinary teams
• 23:21
  Speaker 23: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,
• 23:27
  Speaker 23: predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease, and even streamline
• 23:32
  Speaker 23: record keeping so veterinarians can focus more on patients. But
• 23:37
  Speaker 23: as with any new technology, always keep a human in
• 23:41
  Speaker 23: the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: AI is a powerful tool.
• 23:46
  Speaker 23: But not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion, and judgment,
• 23:52
  Speaker 23: which remains at the center of our profession. For more

  Speaker 24: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 24:08
  Speaker 24: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 24:13
  Speaker 24: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 24: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 24: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 24:28
  Speaker 24: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 24:33
  Speaker 24: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:36
  Speaker 24: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 24:39
  Speaker 24: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 24:42
  Speaker 24: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
• 24:47
  Speaker 24: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

  Speaker 14: Radio.
• 27:56
  Speaker 15: It's on.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: Thank you for letting us do what we do. And
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: it is time for our sports director, Mac McDonald, to
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: open his notebook. He is traveling. He was up here
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: raising a ton of money for scholarship funds. We'll find
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: out how that went from him tomorrow. But he's left
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: us some musings from him. His notebook this morning. There
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: be baseball.
• 28:38
  Speaker 26: MLB's second season begins today with four wildcard games. The
• 28:41
  Speaker 26: Braves entertain the Phillies at 2. The White Sox are
• 28:44
  Speaker 26: in Houston for game one at 5 o'clock. The Red
• 28:47
  Speaker 26: Sox and Yankees take over at 8. And the Cubs
• 28:50
  Speaker 26: and Padres wrap up the day at 10 p.m. from
• 28:52
  Speaker 26: San Diego. Philadelphia lost four straight games and pushed its
• 28:55
  Speaker 26: wildcard chase to the final day, nearly blowing a six-and-a-half
• 29:00
  Speaker 26: game lead over Arizona. Multiple outlets described the week as
• 29:03
  Speaker 26: a living hell and near meltdown, but the club's response,
• 29:07
  Speaker 26: capped by a 7-3 win over Tampa Bay, was relief
• 29:10
  Speaker 26: for their skipper, Don Mattingly.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: At the end of the day, you gotta get in.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: And I think as we get in, it's like a relief.
• 29:18
  Speaker 27: I'm sure a lot of people say our pitching is
• 29:20
  Speaker 27: not set up, and it's not.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: But you've got to do what you've got to do
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: to get in.
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: And at this point, you've got to do what you've
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: got to do to move forward.
• 29:29
  Speaker 26: The WNBA playoffs began Sunday, and the Las Vegas Aces
• 29:33
  Speaker 26: were more than impressive. The defending champs rolled to a
• 29:36
  Speaker 26: 102-85 win in Game 1 of the opener against the Indians.
• 29:40
  Speaker 14: Fever.
• 29:41
  Speaker 26: Asia Wilson finished with 38, 16 boards, 4 blocks, 2 assists,
• 29:44
  Speaker 26: and 2 steals. She became the first player in any
• 29:49
  Speaker 26: WNBA game, regular season or postseason, to record 35 and
• 29:54
  Speaker 26: 15 boards while shooting 75% from the floor.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: I don't take a minute on.
• 29:59
  Speaker 15: This court for granted.
• 29:59
  Speaker 20: So when I come out, I try to be the
• 30:01
  Speaker 20: best that I can be and allow my teammates.
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: To do themselves as well and allow them to be
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: the best.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: So it's my job.
• 30:06
  Speaker 12: I'm going to continue to do it at a high
• 30:08
  Speaker 12: level always.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: And then we go.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: As much as we go.
• 30:12
  Speaker 26: New York, Atlanta, and Golden State took game ones. Vegas
• 30:15
  Speaker 26: is in Indiana tonight. Minnesota will play in the Big Apple.
• 30:19
  Speaker 26: That's our sports update for this hour.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Brother Mac. Appreciate it. Travel safely there. Just
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: had hang on a second here. That's interesting. Where that went, too, appreciate.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: But sorry, Mac was just detailing for us the Can
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: you check and see where the switch was not thrown there?
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: You're detailing some of the WNBA doings. And yet again,
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: all this, I have to chuckle, Mac, all this chatter
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: about the Indiana fever. And every time I hear a
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: story about the Indiana fever and I look at the
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: box score and the story is about Caitlin or Sophie
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: or whatever. And it's like, oh, yeah, and the fever
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: lost by five. Growing up in New York, you look
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: for those things. Well, Keith Hernandez did this, this, and this.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: The Mets lost by eight.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: There.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: Hey, thanks to our friends in Irwin, Tennessee, just south
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: of Johnson City in the Tri-City areas of Bristol. And
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: I feel for them. Just hearing a little bit about
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: their story. It was one of those places Hurricane Helene
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: destroyed their entire broadcast facilities. Knocked down their tower and
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: destroyed their studios. They rebuilt, got back on the air.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: And I feel such a kinship for these folks. Was
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: it Jet? Jet Broadcasting? Because we're about to do the
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: same thing. I'm meeting right after the program today. I'm
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: meeting our electric utility. Is it NextEra yet or is
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: it Dominion still?
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: What?
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: Why are you shaking your head at me? No, they
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: haven't had the merge. That's right. Because the politicians have
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: to have their say as to whether two companies can merge.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: But I'm meeting the electric company today to run the
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: line to my resurrected transmitter. We've done the unthinkable as well.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: And Mark, I appreciate you guys down there in Irwin
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: because we are looking forward We had an affiliate for
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: years in Las Vegas, and the big corporation was told
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: that the property under their AM transmitter tower was going
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: to be sold. And they're like, you know what, just
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: take the station off the air. And this is the
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: corporate attitude about you. See, these guys in Irwin, they
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: love you and they need to serve you. Would it
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: have been easier just to say, hey, no, not to them.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: They need to be on the air. And, you know,
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: we're facing the same thing here in our flagship city
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: of Stanton. I've been off the air. I actually just
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: had my lawyer call me and say, you know, if
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: you're not on the air by October 20th, you're not
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: coming back. It's been almost a year that our main post,
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: tent post AM has been off. Our FMs have been
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: on simulcasting through authorization, but, uh, It'll be something, you know,
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: trenches must be dug and power lines must be laid.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: But it'll be nice to see electricity running through the
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: new site. And, you know, Congress passed that AM radio
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: in every car bill. And I think it's a little
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: bit indicative of what we're pointing out here. There are
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: immutable selling points of AM radio that are better than
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: FM radio. And the ability to go a bazillion miles
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: is one of them. You know, there was a flirtation
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: with digital AM for a while. But what they realized,
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: AM broadcasters realized that unlike traditional AM radio that, you know,
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: you can put on the start dial writing after sunset
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: and find radio stations from 20 states away and things
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: like that. The digital broadcasts were not allowing for that.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: Your signal ended where your signal ended, so they didn't
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: like digital. But it's about reaching everywhere. FM stations don't
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: get into buildings very well, especially post-technology. You know, the
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: more high-tech the building, the harder it is to get
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: an FM signal in there. AM, getting in there. We're
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: getting in there like the U.S. Marine Expeditionary Force were
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: getting in there. And AM has been the original social
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: media connecting farmers in the middle of nowhere to the
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: town that's a two-hour drive away, but it's where they
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: sell their milk. You know, that's what we do here. And,
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: you know, sure, yeah, we're going to have some discussions
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: about whether a campaign ad or not. But I was
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: approached by a political campaign that shall remain nameless about
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: our political rates on my flagship station. And I said,
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: they're five bucks. And they said, no, they're not. Because
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: they're used to people saying, oh, yeah, our political rate
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: is $ 100.
• 36:05
  Speaker 14: This is.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: This is what I was saying about needing all these
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: sponsors for the Maha convention today. Because these convention centers,
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: I've gone to them. You want internet service at a booth,
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: at a convention center? You are paying $ 250 per day.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: Per day! So if it's a three-day conference, you're paying $ 250.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: $ 250 per day. Now, to be fair, that was Las Vegas.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: But you would think just in volume alone, Las Vegas
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: could be a little bit more cost-considerate. But I mentioned
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: these people, the room space, the staff, the catering, the warehousing,
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: the shipping, the hotel rooms. These things are expensive. And broadcasters,
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: we do the same thing. This is the whole Trump PSAs.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: And they say, well, we're just doing what Obama did
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: with his PSAs and Biden did with his. They're not
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: a PSA if you're charging for them. And I know
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: because people will say thus and such, oh, the United
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: Way has a big you know, ad budget. And it
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: infuriates me that they need to have a big ad
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: budget because we should be helping the United Way because
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: they're doing good work in the community, not because they're
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: paying us to. I want to spare that time for
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: the auto repair shop and the bookstore and those places
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: that are commercial operations and even so be inexpensive.
• 38:02
  Speaker 15: Hi, it's Mark Falter, host of the Financial Fitness Show.
• 38:05
  Speaker 15: I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
• 38:08
  Speaker 15: penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately,
• 38:13
  Speaker 15: for most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case.
• 38:16
  Speaker 23: Why?
• 38:17
  Speaker 15: Because most people spend more time planning next weekend's getaway
• 38:21
  Speaker 15: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less in taxes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 15: My financial fitness team has put together some materials that
• 38:27
  Speaker 15: I know are going to help you. It's the tax
• 38:29

  Speaker 24: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 39:09
  Speaker 24: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 24: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 24: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 24: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 39:28
  Speaker 24: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 39:33
  Speaker 24: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 24: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 39:40
  Speaker 24: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 39:42
  Speaker 24: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric oxide
• 39:47
  Speaker 24: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

  Speaker 20: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:37
  Speaker 20: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 20: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 20: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 20: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 20: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 20: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 41:00
  Speaker 20: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Or creation or confiscation of private property or business to
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: impose socialism on a person, what does.
• 44:34
  Speaker 26: It mean whether you hold a deed to deal with
• 44:36
  Speaker 26: the title of your business or property if the government
• 44:39
  Speaker 26: holds the power of life and death over that business
• 44:42
  Speaker 26: or property?
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: And such machinery already exists. The government can find some
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: charge to bring against any concern it chooses to prosecute.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: And that is where we are. How many of you
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: have talked to me in the past about You know,
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: if I can lose my property because I don't pay
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: my taxes, is it really my property? And, you know,
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: a lot of folks say, well, you know, you got
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: to pay your taxes. Sure, but why do I lose
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: my property if I don't? See, this is the thing
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: is this is to me anyway. An indication of somebody
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: that understands they have no moral authority to just demand
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: that I pay money to them. But not having that authority,
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: then they have to come up with new ways and
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: fear mongering and scare tactics. I wanted to take a
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: quick moment here. Kareem's hanging on the line. We got Dr.
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: Clark on the line as well. But I lost a
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: listener the other day, and not in the traditional way
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: where I said something that was abridged too far. But
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: one of the dearest people, and she was a great
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: fan of the program. I don't think, you know, she
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: was listening when no one else was. But my dear
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: friend Lois passed away, went to hang with. Jesus over
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: the weekend and the world was a better place for
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: her and a better place for the people that she touched. And,
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: you know, I miss her just knowing that she's not there,
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: you know, shaking her head at something I said, but
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: I know somewhere she is. And I'll always keep that
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: in mind. We love you, Lois, and we miss you.
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: And this is why it's great to have younger people
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: like Kareem who listen and are nearly close to that
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: checkout time in the sky there. Kareem, thank you for
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: hanging on the line. What's on your mind this morning, sir?
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: By the way, thank you for the offer. I've got
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: a wonderful guy who's coming out and helping dig the
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: ditch from Dominion Energy. And his job is mostly going
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: to be when he hits the sedimentary rock, which is
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: a little like heavy metal. only I can't hear it
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: until the digger has to pull it out of the ground,
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: and the jackhammers have to come out. It's all fun
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: and games until the jackhammers come out. So what's on
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: your mind this morning?
• 47:27
  Speaker 27: Well, first, my condolences to Lois' family. I'll try to
• 47:32
  Speaker 27: pick up what stock I can, shaking my head to
• 47:34
  Speaker 27: what you say.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: But the.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: A few things.
• 47:40
  Speaker 27: Now, I'm busy today, of course. I can't catch the
• 47:43
  Speaker 27: entire broadcast. But I did catch that Marine Expeditionary Force mention.
• 47:50
  Speaker 27: And going off that, has there been that much news
• 47:54
  Speaker 27: about the complete pullout on September 30th of coalition forces
• 47:59
  Speaker 27: in Iraq?
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: I reported on that story, I'm pretty sure it was
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: in last week's First things, maybe Monday, maybe Tuesday of
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: last week when it was announced that it was going
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: to happen, I was mentioning the Marine Expeditionary Forces in
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: reference to making sure that somebody got somewhere. I forget
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: what the exact reference was, but it was about not
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: being denied a presence somewhere. and that you were going
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: to get where you needed to go like the Marine
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: Expeditionary Forces will there. No fair. No fair asking me
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: to remember something I said like three minutes ago. So
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: you're really dirty pool. My apologies.
• 48:51
  Speaker 27: I'm paying too much attention to politics. Apparently it's rubbing
• 48:54
  Speaker 27: off in a bad way. But that's a huge contrast
• 48:57
  Speaker 27: right there because people– Biden's approval rating– Took that sharp
• 49:03
  Speaker 27: turn when people started seeing the live feed of all
• 49:07
  Speaker 27: those poor guys.
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, in Afghanistan.
• 49:14
  Speaker 27: Afghanistan, yes. They were trying to get the last flight
• 49:17
  Speaker 27: out like it was Vietnam.
• 49:19
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: Sir.
• 49:20
  Speaker 27: 13 dead Marines, rest their souls. But that between how smooth,
• 49:25
  Speaker 27: I'm saying it smooth right now, knock on wood, that
• 49:28
  Speaker 27: everything goes according to as it's been going, aside from
• 49:32
  Speaker 27: the Iranian troubles. But if we can close that deal
• 49:37
  Speaker 27: smoothly as it should have been, as it should– Afghanistan
• 49:40
  Speaker 27: should have been, that would be a huge feather in
• 49:43
  Speaker 27: Trump's cap. And I'd be shouting that from the mountaintops
• 49:46
  Speaker 27: if I were him. That would be a PSA that
• 49:48
  Speaker 27: people probably shouldn't complain about.
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: Public service messages, yes. And I don't know. If you
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: hear something as a public service announcement, don't you presume
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: that the broadcaster is airing it out of the goodness
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: of their heart and their concern for their community?
• 50:05
  Speaker 27: That shouldn't be the case, but honestly, these corporations, you
• 50:08
  Speaker 27: saw what they did to Vegas. That used to be
• 50:10
  Speaker 27: a place you'd get comped, you'd get a cheap buffet.
• 50:12
  Speaker 27: They wanted you to come and visit. Now they want
• 50:15
  Speaker 27: you to come and get a co-signer for what you're
• 50:17
  Speaker 27: about to spend.
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: Well, you know what? But that's also indicative of an
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: economy where that expendable cash has become fewer, each dollar
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: becomes fewer and farther between. This is why the ad
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: rates on my station, the story I was telling, and
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: I didn't stick the landing on it, the politician was
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: surprised that I didn't inflate my ad rates because in
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: my mind, in pursuit of higher political advertising money, too
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: many of the people I've associated with, although good people otherwise,
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: would overcharge the local business in an effort to, you know,
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: fluff up their political rates or would come up with
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: these dog and pony show routines to lower the actual
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: cost to the client while still, quote, protecting their political rate.
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: I don't have that kind of time to worry about that. So,
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: you know, I tell businesses, five bucks, five bucks, you
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: can get as many commercials as you want. Because frequency works,
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: whether it's a realtor or a car dealer or a politician.
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: Give me five bucks and I'll give you a commercial.
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: And we'll air it and we'll share it with people
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: who I think we do a good job of being
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: interesting enough to keep you around for it. But that's
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: the nature of all economies. What is it worth to you?
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: Las Vegas, there's a story, and we're going to connect
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: it to Danville, Virginia, one of my columns for The
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: Daily Signal. Danville, Virginia is sweating because Caesars, Caesars Entertainment,
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: was just purchased by some foreign entity that assumed $ 11. 7
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: billion in indebtedness. I don't know if that's, you know,
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: the comedian that they hired to do their ads, if
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: it's his salary or what. But these casinos are hemorrhaging cash.
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: And I think some of it is like you pointed out, Kareem.
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: Everything is like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas. Beep, you pay me.
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: And that's fine. Commerce is commerce. But what are we
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: doing for that money? What service are we providing for
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: that money? It's the same thing, employment. We talked about
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: this yesterday. Everyone wants more dollars per hour.
• 52:51
  Speaker 28: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:55
  Speaker 28: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 27: It was MediShare that came through for us and there
• 53:00
  Speaker 27: was no hassles. There was no problem.
• 53:02
  Speaker 28: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:05
  Speaker 28: of such an incredible ministry.
• 53:07
  Speaker 18: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
• 53:11
  Speaker 18: share each other's medical expenses.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 53:20
  Speaker 18: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old.
• 53:25
  Speaker 18: And members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
• 53:27
  Speaker 18: medical bills.
• 53:28
  Speaker 27: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: You can focus in on supporting other people.
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: MediShare is affordable.
• 53:35
  Speaker 24: MediShare is biblical.
• 53:36
  Speaker 11: MediShare is family.
