• 0:03
  Speaker 1: The nine most terrifying words in the English language are.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Now.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: First off, it's not nine words.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: There's another part.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: To that you left out.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: Are you laughing at me? Come on now.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I'm from the government, and I'm here to help. Thank you.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Heading into Columbus Day weekend as so many of our
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: affiliate stations brace for the arrival of Hurricane Isaiah. It's
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Category 2 at the moment, trundling up the Gulf, but
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: a lot of folks, like our friends in Irwin, Tennessee,
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: are understandably with eyes twitching as the track of this
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: hurricane starts to fade Ring a familiar tone as it
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: heads up into eastern Tennessee and towards southeastern Virginia as well.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: And bracing as you should be for it, but a
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: reminder of the fact that there are still families, businesses,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: entire communities trying to square themselves up from Helene's visit.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: to their neck of the valley. So whether you're at 1580,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: the game, down in Pascagoula or on the Gulf Shores,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: listening to us on HEP 1310, St. Pete on BGS,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: you know what to do if you've been around a
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: long time. You batten down the hatches. You make sure
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: you have the supplies you need. If you're in the
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: place where you need generators, people have generators. We used
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: to talk about this all the time, preparation for hurricanes.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: And we pitched ideas sponsored by generator providers and everything.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: You get into an area, especially rural areas, people who
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: need generators already have generators. And if they don't, you
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: should be talking about maintenance of them. Those things can't
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: be disregarded. And Brace looks like Friday tonight is the
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: beginnings of it along the Gulf and then on up.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: We're expecting the rains four inches is what they're telling
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: me in central Virginia in the Shenandoah Valley. Saturday night
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: into Sunday morning and not certainly to the level or
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: the strength of Helene. So, you know, those who are
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: but it's you have to understand our friends in the
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: weather department have had a pretty quiet hurricane season so far.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: So you have to you have to at least understand
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: that they've been looking forward, chomping at a bit to
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: have something to try to instill panic about. But do
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: what you need to do. If you need to get
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: to shelter, get to shelter. I know our friends in
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: the Red Cross do tons of shelters in communities. firehouses,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: so many places that you can go. What's the story?
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I know the guy said, start doing your first things.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: The story of the guy who was facing a flood
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: and said, I'm a faithful Christian. I believe in God.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: God will take care of me. Heard a radio broadcast.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: And then a sheriff's boat comes by and says, come on,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: old timer, get in the boat. The water's rising. You
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: need to get out. And then he said, no, no,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: God will save me. And then a helicopter comes buffeted
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: around in the winds and said, come on, old timer,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: the river is flooding. You're up on your roof. Get
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: on board and we'll get you into safety. He says, no,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: God will provide. And then when he finally perishes in
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the flood, he arrives at the pearly gates, kind of annoyed.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: and says to God, I believed in you. I prayed
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: to you. I knew you would come and save me.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: He said, yeah, I sent you a radio broadcast, a
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: guy in a boat and a helicopter. What more did
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: you want me to do? Just saying, you know, you
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: know what you need to do to keep you yourself
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: and your family secure in these storms as they're coming in.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: And please look in on newbies. If you know there
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: are new people in your neighborhood that maybe haven't ridden
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: the storm out with you. Look in on them. Meanwhile,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: President Trump in Washington today will hold a ceremony in
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: honor of Christopher Columbus. School kids might say, who's that?
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Is he one of the indigenous people?
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: No.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: But he wants Italian Americans to remember all of his
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: support heading into the midterms. Just saying. Arlington County, Virginia
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: has filed a lawsuit opposing the construction of the Trump Arch,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: becoming the first governmental body to take legal action against
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: President Trump's planned monument. It filed the suit in Eastern
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: District of Virginia, saying ostensibly he's spending money he should
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: be sending to us. Firing squad execution of Nidal Malik
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Hassan will be live streamed on December 3rd, according to
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, he's the one who killed
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: 13 and injured 13 others at the base in 2009.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Administration announced Thursday it's suspending Microsoft and several other tech
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: firms from a program that allows foreign workers to apply
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: for green cards to come work at those firms. Vice
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: President J.D. Vance said that there has been too many
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: instances of fraud in their use of the program. Steve
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Ukrainian negotiators and European officials,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: or will be, pardon me, today, to present new proposals
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: aimed at breaking the stalemate in the two-week-long invasion of
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Ukraine that Russia planned that is now entering its, well,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: approaching its fifth year. And those are some of our
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: first things this morning. Make sure you have enough duct tape.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: And you have plenty of fresh water in your fridge.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: And we'll keep on the radio here on the first
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: thing today. Our friends at the Daily Signal just published
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: an expose. And really, the column I published in Daily
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Signal's Virginia page only scratches the surface of the cover-up.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: of this local school board. But we have pages along
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: with Victor Davis Hanson.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Let's see, if something costs less, a lot less, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: people are actually happier with it, that sounds like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to look into.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: And that's MediShare.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe you've heard joining MediShare can save you or your
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: family up to $ 500 a month, and that's huge.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: But it's also true.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: People are just happier with it. They love being part
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: of something that reflects and promotes their values and what
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: they believe in. MediShare works too. It's been around for
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: 30 years now and members have shared more than $ 7
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: billion of each other's bills. People love having telehealth and
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a huge nationwide PPO network. So yeah, really, you can
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: save a ton and like it better. Imagine being happy
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: with how you're taking care of your healthcare, whether you're
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: self-employed or part of the gig economy, or you just
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: want a plan that you're happy with.

  Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

  Speaker 9: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: And even death.
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 9:53
  Speaker 9: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 9:59
  Speaker 9: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: I'm Dr.

  Speaker 9: Susan Rehm of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. When
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: I speak with my patients, I urge them to get
• 10:10
  Speaker 9: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: and shingles, visit adultvaccination.org. That's www.adultvaccination.org.
• 10:33
  Speaker 10: We depend on our drinking water supply daily, but where
• 10:36
  Speaker 10: does that water come from?
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: Your water provider encourages you.
• 10:40
  Speaker 10: To get to know your local water source so together
• 10:43
  Speaker 10: we can protect and preserve it. The investments we make
• 10:46
  Speaker 10: as a community to protect our water source now ensure
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: we have a sustainable drinking water supply for the future.

  Speaker 11: If you came across someone struggling with hunger, how would
• 11:05
  Speaker 11: you recognize them?
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: By their clothes? Their age? The way they speak? Would
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: you notice a 16-year-old boy who got his first job?
• 11:14
  Speaker 12: Not for extra spending money, but to help feed his
• 11:17
  Speaker 12: little sisters.
• 11:19
  Speaker 8: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: to bed hungry so her kids can have dinner. Or
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: a 14-year-old girl who signs up to every after-school activity
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: not to make friends, but just to get something to eat.
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: Or a retiree who fell ill and.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Had to choose between getting medicine or groceries.
• 11:40
  Speaker 11: I am the one in eight Americans who struggle with hunger.
• 11:44
  Speaker 11: People you pass by every day but never knew were hungry.
• 11:48
  Speaker 13: I am hunger in America.

• 12:01
  Speaker 15: Think about this. There are five freedoms guaranteed in the
• 12:05
  Speaker 15: First Amendment. Freedom of religion. Freedom of speech. Freedom of
• 12:09
  Speaker 15: the press. Freedom to peaceably assemble. Freedom to petition the government.
• 12:14
  Speaker 15: Which freedom can you live without? Fortunately, the First Amendment
• 12:18
  Speaker 15: doesn't make you choose. It protects all five freedoms equally.

  Speaker 16: When might you be buzzed when you suddenly love everything?
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: You guys, I love this song. I love these nachos.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: I love our kickball league.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: I love this guy.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: What's your name?
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: You know what I love?
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: A ride when it's time to head out.
• 12:46
  Speaker 16: If you see a buzzed warning sign, call for a
• 12:49
  Speaker 16: ride when it's time to go home. Buzz driving is
• 12:51
  Speaker 16: drunk driving. A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: Radio.
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: It's on.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 13:31
  Speaker 12: I motored away and steered straight ahead.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: For the weatherman said, there's a storm front coming.
• 13:40
  Speaker 17: Moon and nickel.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: Whitewater running. The pressure is low.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Star front coming.
• 13:50
  Speaker 17: Moon and nickel.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: Star front coming.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: That's your small craft warning here at 434-882-4217 as you
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: run around checking all the hatches to make sure they
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: are battened down and Googling what exactly it means to
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: be battened down. Wherever you are in your process, don't
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: leave stuff to the last minute. That's the thing that's
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: most important. With storms bearing down, like I said, whether
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: it's the Gulf Coast and Gulf Shores and Mississippi, Pascagoula
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: on the game, look for the people who have lived
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: there a long time and follow what they do because
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: they know. And I know that we have a proclivity
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: to look at anything a government official tells us with
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: a certain tilt to our head. but there are evacuation
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: zones because there need to be evacuation zones. Joel writes
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: a great point about the wind is the bigger deal.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: This Cat 2 is where Isaiah is at the moment. Now,
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: like I said, this thing is planning, and I remember Helene,
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: because we talked to our friend Matt down in Fort Myers,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: who said the issue was the storm surge, was the flood,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: you know, the amount of water that was being displaced there.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: and deposited, and Matt said to us on this program,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: live from Fort Myers in the middle of Helene, at
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: that point, he said, this thing has got a lot
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: of rain in it. Remember, Helene was a massive storm
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: with a lot of rain in it. So only a
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: cat two, but a big ass storm is what Isaiah says.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: And that's why folks like Erwin Tennessee and our EMB
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: friends out there are, you know, their eyes might be
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: twitchy a little bit because, I mean, they've just finished
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: getting back on the air and the community still trying
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: to find somebody from FEMA in a lot of cases
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: to answer a phone call is still kind of shaking
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: off Helene. So hopefully, you know, lessons learned, whatever, you know,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: infrastructure stronger. But Joel's point about the wind is really important,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: and I'll circle it back because having gone through super
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: storm Sandy, couldn't call her a hurricane. She wasn't, but
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: devastated some houses that shouldn't have been there in the
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: first place along the Jersey coast and cost you and
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: me a lot of money to fix them. When they
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: shouldn't have. And I'll get into that because there are–
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: and for everyone who looks at zoners and planners, planning
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: commission meetings and that kind of whatnot, with the understandable
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: ire that often comes from watching democratic capitalism take place. Yeah,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: the ten of us are here to speak out against
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: the planned Airbnb on our block. And it's just sometimes–
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: NIMBYism on the march. But there are points where, you know,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: zoning planning shouldn't be lampooned. And unfortunately, our elected officials
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: commit malpractice. Let's just put it that way in their
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: administration of things and then cause us to work around
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: smart zoning and smart scaling and smart planning, which all
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: left to the devastation of the Jersey coast. Um, in Sandy. Um,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: and I think, I think most of the folks along
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: the Gulf coast are smarter than that, but we'll get
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: into that. James, our friend, James getting ready for a
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: big Columbus day weekend, any Columbus themed coins, uh, at
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: JCS gold.com James.
• 17:46
  Speaker 17: Yeah, that's a good question, Joe. No, we don't have
• 17:49
  Speaker 17: any Columbus-themed coins on the website at the moment.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: No Spanish doubloons found. Captain Jack comes back from... We
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: have friends down on the Treasure Coast and they're always
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: finding something off the Vero Beach coast there. Maybe we
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: should call them and see if they've got any Spanish
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: coins of the realm. Of course, Columbus didn't even come
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: to United States proper. He was in the Bahamas like
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: so many others of us in October. Maybe that's why
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: we celebrate it in October, because we're all trying to
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: book flights to an all-inclusive resort somewhere down there in
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: the islands to celebrate Columbus's weekend there. But I know
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: you've got a long weekend there. What are you guys
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: expecting from gold and silver this week?
• 18:40
  Speaker 17: That is kind of a funny point, though. I will
• 18:42
  Speaker 17: point out, buying Spanish shipwrecked gold might be kind of ironic.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: That's right. We're having a big sale on Spanish coins,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: just like Queen Isabella gave to Columbus. People do find
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: these things all the time. There are so many shipwrecks
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: that are unexplored. I guess it's big business, especially down
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: there on the East coast of Florida, you know, looking
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: for shipwrecks and, you know, the black Pearl and, and,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: and Davy Jones locker is probably full of Spanish coins.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.

  Speaker 17: And we do from time to time, we will have
• 19:21
  Speaker 17: some shipwrecked, coins, silver or gold, uh, we've had in
• 19:25
  Speaker 17: the past, uh, and, and.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: We will put them up on jcsgold.com.
• 19:29
  Speaker 17: Um, and they're certified, uh, by PCGS and NGC, you know,
• 19:33
  Speaker 17: officially certified and authenticated, uh, coins found from the shipwreck, uh,
• 19:38
  Speaker 17: which is pretty cool. It usually comes with a whole
• 19:40
  Speaker 17: information packet, uh, you know, about the ship and about
• 19:43
  Speaker 17: the wreck and the discovery, which is pretty cool. So
• 19:45
  Speaker 17: check out jcsgold.com, uh, for when we have some of
• 19:49
  Speaker 17: those unique items in stock.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Very cool so are you guys you know because next
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: week i think the fed meets again and there's rumblings
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: and grumblings about another rate increase i know gold and
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: silver were on sale yesterday morning are they still on
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: sale or people you know grabbing some before the the
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: rate increase next week.
• 20:08
  Speaker 17: Yeah, gold and silver are feeling a little bit of
• 20:10
  Speaker 17: a bounce so far this Friday. Gold is up 1.25%,
• 20:12
  Speaker 17: up $ 52 to $ 4, 185. Silver is up almost 2%, so
• 20:14
  Speaker 17: really bouncing from its support level yesterday, got all the
• 20:16
  Speaker 17: way down to the high $ 58 level, and then really
• 20:17
  Speaker 17: bounced back here where it's $ 60.
• 20:19
  Speaker 18: 37 on silver.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: It's busy times, but you can go as long as
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: you have electricity and Internet service. You can go online
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: to jcsgold.com, whatever the hurricanes may do. It would be
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: interesting to find out on Tuesday or even Monday morning
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: that the Shenandoah Valley got hit harder than, say, Pascagoula, Alabama.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: from the Mississippi. What am I doing? I must have
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: hit my head on the way in. But if there's
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: flooding and all sorts of power outages here in the
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Shenandoah Valley and Gulf Shores, Mississippi is fine. I'll have
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: to shake my head because we're probably less prepared for it,
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: but we are supposed to get some of this storm
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: front all the way up here, which has everyone reminiscing
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: about Helene and how far inland she came as well.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: So we'll keep an eye on that, James. You guys
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: stay good over the weekend. Family business, you know, it's
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: not a big corporation. So when I say you guys
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: stay safe over the weekend, I mean James and his mom,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: his pop, his brother, and the whole family business there
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: at jcsgold.com. Absolutely.
• 21:50
  Speaker 17: We will be enjoying the long weekend, but paying attention
• 21:55
  Speaker 17: to the weather out there, and we're prepared for it.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, Joe. And you be prepared as well at JCS Gold. Hey, guys.

• 22:05

• 22:08
  Speaker 19: least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a week's time.
• 22:12
  Speaker 19: But here's the thing, that 150 minutes does not need
• 22:15
  Speaker 19: to be super intense. As a matter of fact, it
• 22:17
  Speaker 19: could just be you moving your body and doing what
• 22:20
  Speaker 19: you already love to do, like exercise. And a stronger
• 22:23
  Speaker 19: heart doesn't just mean cardio, right? It means also infusing
• 22:26
  Speaker 19: your workout routines with strength training as well. So we
• 22:30
  Speaker 19: are super excited to be launching our new plate-loaded strength

  Speaker 5: Don't stop talking.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Don't stop sharing. Don't stop laughing. Don't stop caring. I
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: want to talk to your manager.
• 28:40
  Speaker 17: As long as you've got a voice, don't ever stop.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: That's going to happen.

  Speaker 16: Make our freedom shine longer.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: Spread the love of God.
• 28:54
  Speaker 18: I did not.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: As much as possible and sometimes the profundity is not
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: as obvious as it could be um sometimes we're too
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: cute by half uh and that's why i expect for
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: you to call me and keep me in my lane
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: at four three four eight eight two four two one
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: seven trying to make sense of it all i would
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: I opened this can of worms and we got talking
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: with James about gold and silver and Spanish doubloons and
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: things like that on this disingenuous people's weekend or Columbus
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: Day weekend, whichever you prefer. But I didn't finish my
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: point about zoning and why zoning and planning has a
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: place and And this is, if you're a habitual user
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: of this program, you know, nothing is a one or
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: a zero to me. Yeah, we love to rail about
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: when the Planning Commission takes a vote on whether, you know,
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: a hotel should be built or a coffee shop or,
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: And it becomes exemplar of that old expression, you know,
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: four wolves and three sheep take a vote on what
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: to have for lunch. And it becomes like that. Or
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: in a better example, four wolves and three sheep on
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: the planning commission take a vote on whether to permit
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: a falafel shop or a souvlaki stand in downtown. It'll
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: be economic development. says the wolf. Think of the tourism dollars,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: says Wolf, too. But there is a place, and as
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: our friends in Greenwich coming in on 1490 WGCH can attest,
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: my grandfather, William H. Crawford, wrote a lot of the
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: zoning laws up that way. And I don't even know
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: if you're still following him or not, but one of
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: the things that I remember him talking about is that
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: it's not about... what the house looks like. It's what
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: it's designed to withstand if you have a community, especially
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: a coastal one. And we saw this manifest during Sandy,
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: where these four-story McMansions built on the beach in New
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Jersey with giant panes of glass, all understandable because you've
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: got this ocean front and you want to be able
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: to see it. So these three- and four-story buildings have
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: been built on the top of some one-story bungalow, fishing
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: village home that was there originally, and it was all
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: done with loopholes. Well, we kept the structural walls of
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: the original structure, so, Your Honor, the zoning commission has
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: no say on what my client does with this property.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: And then what wound up happening is the insurance companies
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: turned to the federal government. Remember Barack Obama? shaking hands
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: with Chris Christie on the tarmac in Newark Airport, big
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: hugs all around, you know, sort of portending what would
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: happen with Chris Christie in the years to come. But,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: you know, hugging and saying, don't worry, the federal government
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: will bail out the insurance, the homeowners insurances that were,
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: you know, saying, oh, I'm sorry, you're covered, you're not
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: covered for this kind of stuff. Because the those one-story
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: bungalows that were all along the coast of New Jersey
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: were built that way because storms happen. You know, you
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: don't get, you know, think about California, you know, of
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: all the places to think about good planning and zoning.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: You know, think about how many three and four and
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: five magnitude earthquake tremblers that have happened in California just
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: in the few years that this show has existed on
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: a nationwide footprint. And our friends out there came at
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: in San Bernardino or up at KAHI in Sacramento, you
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: can attest. And then think about those five magnitude earthquakes
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: in Argentina that knock an entire city onto the ground.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Never mind what happens when there's an earthquake in Haiti
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: and they just have stacked cinder blocks on top of
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: each other, if they can find cinder blocks, and all
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: the buildings come crashing down. There's a great group called
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: the Building Goodness Foundation that goes out there and actually
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: tries to use structural engineering best practices when they go
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: to Haiti to try to help after the next round
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: of earthquakes and or hurricanes devastate a corrupt or inept.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: I have Haitian friends who have said that the best
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: times in Haiti are when the government's inept and the
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: worst times are when the government's corrupt. So you wash, rinse, repeat.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: But the housing is built like crap. And these giant
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: mega mansions along the Jersey Shore were built inappropriately for
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: a coastal beachfront because storms happen. Sure, it had been
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: 100 years since a storm had come to the New
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: Jersey coastline. So I guess it's like Dave Ramsey says,
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: the amount of times you can do something wrong without
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: it bearing recompense. is standard operating procedure. But the folks
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: along the Gulf Coast, they know how to build houses.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: If you've seen somebody... building some McMansion and Culp Shores,
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: then they're going to be calling their insurance company because
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: you build for what your area is going to be.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: California builds to handle five magnitude earthquakes. Louisa County doesn't.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: So when Louisa County had a five magnitude earthquake, half
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: the school fell down and people needed to rebuild the school.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: That's here in central Virginia. Yeah, we had a five-magnitude earthquake,
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: and people were like, well, my God, you know the
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: one thing that was built to handle that? The nuclear
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: power plant that was almost right at the epicenter of it.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Completely fine. Take that, Chernobyl. We'll see your Pripyat and
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: raise you a bumpus. Kareem is on the line at 434-882-4217,
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: and I'm not sure anyone's ever compared bumpus Virginia to Pripyat, Ukraine,
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: But mark the date down as the first time that happened. Kareem,
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: how are you doing this morning?
• 35:09
  Speaker 26: Doing pretty well, Joe. Currently admiring the New York City skyline.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: She is beautiful, you know, until you get down in
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: the middle of it. And then there can be some
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: ugly places. So call me before you go down any
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: of the side roads, okay?
• 35:23
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: We'll do, Joe.
• 35:26
  Speaker 26: Currently navigating New Jersey, so it's funny how timely that
• 35:32
  Speaker 26: Hurricane Sandy story is. But Joe, I had a friend
• 35:35
  Speaker 26: when I was in college, one of the colleges I
• 35:38
  Speaker 26: attended anyway, from Jamaica, and the houses there are built
• 35:41
  Speaker 26: out of concrete. And tell you what, my neighbors downstairs,
• 35:45
  Speaker 26: they'd love if that was the case. They'd have to
• 35:48
  Speaker 26: stop begging on the ceiling when I step around too loudly.
• 35:51
  Speaker 26: But But, Joe, this infrastructure talk has reminded me that
• 35:56
  Speaker 26: four days ago, reports came out that the Saudi Aramco head,
• 36:00
  Speaker 26: for people who don't know, Saudi Aramco is, when you
• 36:03
  Speaker 26: talk about oil and you think about Saudi Arabia, Saudi
• 36:06
  Speaker 26: Aramco is it.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: That's it. Don't get no bigger.
• 36:09
  Speaker 26: He said it's going to be about two years before
• 36:12
  Speaker 26: they get back up to where they were before.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: With the pipeline?
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: With the pipeline or with the refining?
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: All of it.
• 36:20
  Speaker 18: All of it.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: That pipeline. You see, here's the thing. Hang on to that.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: Because the first day it was hit by the drone,
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: they said it'll be two weeks. And that wasn't the U.S.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: That was the Saudis. So I take a lot of
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: that with a grain of salt. They want us to
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: believe that their refining issues have been curtailed. This is
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: why the new campaign in the United States should be refine, baby, refine.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: We don't do it. For some reason, too many Bruce
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Springsteen songs made refineries seem like bad things. But we've
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: got to refine.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: Our own oil.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: We produce plenty of it. They just relaxed some of
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: the drilling restrictions in Alaska. Our friends at KFAR can
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: mention that. God, he's just like a savant this morning
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: mentioning his affiliates. But we just relaxed some of the
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: drilling regulations in Alaska. But yeah, it's great. But we
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: still have to send our oil overseas to get refined
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: too frequently and in too great a quantity, and that's
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: adding to the cost. Refine, baby, refine, Kareem.
• 37:30
  Speaker 26: Joe, I agree. The more things we can do for
• 37:32
  Speaker 26: ourselves here versus sitting out elsewhere, the better it is.
• 37:36
  Speaker 26: Even though it may cost us a little bit more,
• 37:38
  Speaker 26: it's money that's staying here versus going overseas.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Joe, just the.
• 37:44
  Speaker 26: Saudis, that 700-mile pipeline needs 13 pumping stations. to send across.
• 37:50
  Speaker 26: And right now, four of them have been knocked out
• 37:52
  Speaker 26: of commission. But Joe, that Indian refinery that we were
• 37:57
  Speaker 26: signed a deal for that was going to be built
• 38:00
  Speaker 26: around the Gulf.
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44
• 38:05

  Speaker 6: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: I'm Dr.
• 39:14
  Speaker 21: Mitch.
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation has antioxidant
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: properties and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: at least slow the spread of cancer and in many
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells

• 40:59
  Speaker 18: Hi, everybody.
• 40:59
  Speaker 28: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 41:01
  Speaker 28: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 41:04
  Speaker 28: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 41:06
  Speaker 28: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 41:09
  Speaker 28: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: Who work hard to provide for their young.
• 41:14
  Speaker 28: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 41:17
  Speaker 28: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 41:21
  Speaker 28: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 41:23
  Speaker 28: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
• 41:26
  Speaker 28: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
• 41:29
  Speaker 28: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 41:32
  Speaker 28: they also perform lifesaving work every day. Dogs keep us
• 41:35
  Speaker 28: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 41:38
  Speaker 28: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 41:41
  Speaker 28: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 41:44
  Speaker 28: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
• 41:46
  Speaker 28: and help those in need. So please join me and
• 41:49
  Speaker 28: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
• 41:52
  Speaker 28: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go
• 41:55

  Speaker 8: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 42:01
  Speaker 17: Oh yeah?
• 42:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he's starting with the woots. And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: Heart and brain.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 8: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 42:15
  Speaker 15: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 42:18
  Speaker 15: somebody call me a ride.
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: Love that guy.
• 42:21
  Speaker 8: Me too.
• 42:21
  Speaker 16: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 42:24
  Speaker 16: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 42:29
  Speaker 24: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 42:31
  Speaker 24: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 42:35
  Speaker 24: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 24: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:42
  Speaker 24: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 42:46
  Speaker 24: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 42:52
  Speaker 24: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 42:55
  Speaker 24: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 42:59
  Speaker 24: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 43:01
  Speaker 24: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 43:04
  Speaker 24: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 43:08
  Speaker 24: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 43:11
  Speaker 24: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 43:15
  Speaker 24: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 43:18
  Speaker 24: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.

• 43:30
  Speaker 12: As a family member or friend, You may be the
• 43:32
  Speaker 12: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 43:35
  Speaker 12: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 43:41
  Speaker 12: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 43:44
  Speaker 8: But help is available.
• 43:46
  Speaker 12: Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories at MakeTheConnection.net and learn
• 43:51
  Speaker 12: how you can support the veterans in your life.

  Speaker 2: We didn't make talk radio. We made it better. First
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: This one, Yvonne, listening to us up in Salem, reminds
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: of the early 60s. Native Oregonians still know it as
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: the Columbus Day Storm. There is argument to this day
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: what type of storm it was, having lived through it.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: I'm in the tornado camp. So, and I appreciate that reminder.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, storms happen, and this has been frustrating to
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: a lot of the the weather chasers and the folks
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: who rely on weather forecasts to be their clickbait, it's
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: been quiet. And we were into the letter I and,
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: you know, the 9th of October before we, you know,
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: we've had our first East Coast hurricane. And even that's
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: Gulf Coast, really. And that's where folks in the valley are.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: are a little nervous keeping an eye on it. Hopefully
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: lessons learned from Helene have been brought to bear, I
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: guess is the right way to say it there, that
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: the things, infrastructural changes and things like that that needed
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: to be done in the fix-up. Now, Kareem was on
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: the phone with us as we headed into break and
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: we were talking about infrastructure here at our weekly visit
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: with our friends at the City Elders. If you don't
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: have a City Elders chapter where you are, and you
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: can look it up at cityelders.org, if you don't, and
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: they're in eight states, I think it may be nine
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: states now, born out of Oklahoma, dominating Virginia right now.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: And this controversy that I wrote about And again, this
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: is the second column we've written about the mess, the
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: cover-up that's going on in the Central Virginia School District,
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: which ironically, for a community that loves its media attention,
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: they don't want the media covering this story so much
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: right now. Why is that? Well, you better read my
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: column at dailysignal.com. city elders, a big reason that this
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: story came to light in their efforts behind getting a
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: man of faith and a man of conservative principles on
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: the school board to out this kind of stuff. But Kareem,
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: you were saying something about infrastructure and of course we
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: were talking about why you build things in certain ways
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: to handle certain things, why floodplains are floodplains and believe me,
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: at some point If the river through your town hasn't
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: crested its floodplain in 20 years, somebody in the planning
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: commission is thinking, oh, we could build some affordable housing
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: down there. We call that the Ninth Ward Plan right there. Oh,
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: we'll build some dikes, some protective barriers there to make
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: sure the affordable housing we build on the floodplain isn't,
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: you know, we call it the Ninth Ward Plan. But anyway... Kareem,
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: thank you for hanging on.
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: What happened?
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: Go ahead. I didn't catch what you said. The Indian
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: refinery that we built around the Gulf?
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: That we are going to build around the Gulf.
• 47:53
  Speaker 26: That's going to be about five years before it starts producing.
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: Sure, sure. I mean, that's the problem with these projects. Oh,
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: we're going to build a new power plant. Well, in
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: five years, that'll be great. And just like with the
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: SAVE Act, sure, we're not going to get the SAVE
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: Act in time for the 2026 elections, but let's try
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: it for the 2027 elections. How about that?
• 48:13
  Speaker 26: And Joe, I think we can do it. I think
• 48:15
  Speaker 26: we can warp speed our industrial base, but we have
• 48:18
  Speaker 26: to start training the people.
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: To do it now.
• 48:20
  Speaker 26: Anyway, Joe, thanks for taking my call.
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: Have a great weekend. Absolutely. And the thing about the
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: United States is a lot of that infrastructure is still
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: here because we've just shut it down. Like Virginia has
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: three power plants that have been shuttered within the last
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: two or three years. So if you need electricity, I
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: know where the switch is. Maybe we need to dust
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: some file cabinets, but we need to get these suckers
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: up and running again. And that's the problem that we
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: have and what the do-gooders will say. But we passed
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: a law. We passed a law. Well, we can unpass
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: a law. So in Virginia, it's the Clean Virginia 2030 Act. Okay,
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: repeal it. The governor is going to be here. You
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: may actually, of all things, get to hear me throw
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: down with Governor Spanberger next week. There's a big economic
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: development event going on not far from us here. A
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: lot of mucky mucks, a lot of left wingers. going
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: to talk about how you know our government spending is
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: going to make your economic development it should be the
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: the subheading of the economic development event you didn't build
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: that nor are you going to, apparently. But we don't
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: need to build new power plants. We need to fire
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: up the ones that we've only just recently closed. California
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: is facing the same thing because, I know this, because
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: California's law is Virginia's law. We just said, hey, can
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: we use that? We signed an economic disarmament deal with
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: California so that we could be the California of the
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: East Coast. And to be fair, I mean, you folks
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: in San Bernardino, you're sitting there looking at some of
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: the stuff Virginia is trying to pass, thinking you're nuts.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: People in California tell me all the time that California
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: gets a bad rap, that the land of fruits and
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: nuts is Virginia. And then they'll point to some website
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: talking about the great peanuts that we grow here in Virginia.
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: And we do. And we have the spotted lanternflies to
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: prove that we have the fruits as well. So Virginia
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: is quickly becoming the East Coast home of the fruits
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: and nuts. Mostly grapes, because we like our winery just
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: as much as our friends in the Napa Valley do.
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: And don't even start me on the awards we've won,
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: mostly since this fellow named Trump bought a winery here
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: in central Virginia. Did you know that? Did you know
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: it's really Eric and Lara that own the winery, but
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: Don shows up every now and then when he needs
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: to host a fundraiser. Big bed and breakfast. If you
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: ever want or if you're coming to visit our flagship city,
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: and I know Dr. Clark talked about looking behind the curtain,
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: but if you ever come to visit our flagship city, Monticello,
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: and sure, you can come and look around. We have
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: great wineries, Trump Winery, and the Albemarle House is considered
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: one of the top five inns in the country by,
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: I think it's Michelin. I'm not sure if they consider
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: it just an inn or a bed and breakfast, but
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: the Albemarle House is part of the Trump Winery complex here,
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: and it is I'm not supposed to talk about them
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: because they try to keep a low profile, but I
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: just cannot tell you how. I mean, the view from
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: the winery and the tasting rooms are beautiful. The food
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: is amazing, and the wine is first class. They've got
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: a great vintner there who makes it, and I don't
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: know how often Eric and Lara are here. I see
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: Lara on TV a lot. Doesn't mean anything. She could
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: be doing it from the winery here in central Virginia.
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: But they run a great ship. And Kerry Woolard, who
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: really is the day-to-day operations person, ran President Trump's campaign
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: here in Virginia. But running the winery is her gift
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: to so many folks. So, yeah, whether it's wine, grapes,
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: or peanuts, Virginia is challenging California for at least one
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: coast's land of fruits and nuts. We'll come back to you.
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: Our city elders Friday morning. First thing today, if you
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: don't have a City Elders, start one.
• 52:51
  Speaker 18: My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my
• 52:54
  Speaker 18: 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 8: I'm Sam.
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: I'm a veteran.
• 53:02
  Speaker 15: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
• 53:04
  Speaker 15: of and supporting my family.
• 53:06
  Speaker 25: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
• 53:09
  Speaker 25: of their lives.
• 53:10
  Speaker 18: I'm a veteran.
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: My victory was going from homeless to home.
• 53:14
  Speaker 25: At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get
• 53:17
  Speaker 25: the benefits they've earned.
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: I'm a veteran, and my victory was finishing my education.
• 53:23
  Speaker 25: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support.
