• 2:30
  Speaker 5: now is to finally, once and for all, find out
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: where Jimmy Hoffa is buried. Because we should be able
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: to just call the U.S. Geological Services and say, where
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: in New Jersey is there unusual seismic activity? Because that
• 2:47

  Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

• 8:05
  Speaker 6: optimized curcumin is one of the few bioavailable and highly
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi, I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52

  Speaker 11: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 11: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 11: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 11: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 11: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 11: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 11: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 11: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 11: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 11: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 11: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 11: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 11: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 12: Hi, everybody. I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy
• 10:01
  Speaker 12: growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
• 10:03
  Speaker 12: with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
• 10:05
  Speaker 12: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
• 10:08
  Speaker 12: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests or
• 10:11
  Speaker 12: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young.
• 10:14
  Speaker 12: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 10:17
  Speaker 12: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 10:20
  Speaker 12: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 10:22
  Speaker 12: search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: This remarkable work ethic.
• 10:25
  Speaker 12: Is shared by our best friends, the canines. We know
• 10:28
  Speaker 12: dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but because of
• 10:30
  Speaker 12: their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving work every day.
• 10:34
  Speaker 12: Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans,
• 10:37
  Speaker 12: some of whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics,
• 10:40
  Speaker 12: alerting them when there's a change in their blood chemistry.
• 10:43
  Speaker 12: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
• 10:45
  Speaker 12: contribute to society.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: And help those in need.
• 10:47
  Speaker 12: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 12: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 12: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 13: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 14: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 13: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28
  Speaker 10: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 10: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 10: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 10: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 10: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 10: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 10: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 10: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 10: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 10: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 10: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:07
  Speaker 10: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 10: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 10: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

• 12:29
  Speaker 15: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 15: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 15: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 15: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:43
  Speaker 15: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

• 13:11
  Speaker 2: This is Independence from Virginia. Again, first thing today by
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:21
  Speaker 15: As long as you've got a voice, don't ever stop.
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: Hi.
• 13:26
  Speaker 15: As long as you've got.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Truth, don't ever stop.
• 13:31
  Speaker 9: You're on the air.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: As long as you've got love. That's how you have
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: to roll with it.
• 13:36
  Speaker 10: What's on your mind?
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: Sure, there's judgment. But if you're judged, and I mentioned
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: earlier that I am a fan of science fiction in general. Dr.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: Clark is on the line with us. He and I
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: about the obscure science fictions that we're fans of, like
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: Callahan's Crosstime Saloon. And you guys listening to us on
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: Long Island News Radio, you ought to look up Callahan's
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: Crosstime Saloon because it supposedly existed somewhere out there by
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Tesla's big ball on the tower in Shoreham. interestingly enough,
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: by the ill-fated nuclear power plant as well, out there
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: on 25A or the Destroyer series. But of course, the
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: one that I get picked on the most for, some
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: would say, behaviorally managed by my daughter especially, is Star Trek.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: And that's okay because it's done with love. If you
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: criticize something And this is a nuance to what I
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: don't think some people get. You know, people can have
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: a wrong idea. People can't be wrong. People can have
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: a mistake. People can make a mistake. People can have
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: fallen prey to evil thoughts and intentions. But there's good
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: in all of us. This was the point of that
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: carpenter rabbi from Galilee. And just because here on the
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: devil's world, you know, we fall prey to those things,
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: we can fix ourselves if we do it with love.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: And I don't mean that kind of creepy love that
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: gets you investigated by human resources. Good morning, Dr.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Clark.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: What's on your mind this morning, sir?
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Well, at the very moment, Joe, I would say an
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: O2 deficit.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: Oh, are you working out this morning?
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I'm on a morning walk, Joe, at a wedding venue
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: in eastern Kentucky.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's beautiful out there.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's lovely. And, you know, I live on Sand
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Mountain and walk up and down it. But I'm on
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: a road. I'll take a picture of it and send
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: it to you.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: The sign says, attention, four-wheel, all-wheel drive only. Please use
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: at all times.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: I know those hills. I know those kind of hills. Oh,
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: my goodness.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: So let's see. What we've covered so far this morning
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: is Bill Vick said you can get more people to
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: come to the ballpark with circus and bad baseball than
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: you can with bad baseball.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: And Foxy Loxy has figured out that you can thump
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Chicken Little in the head with an acorn just about
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: any time you want and get things going. And I
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: haven't heard you talk about it, but I've been thinking
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: about this whole press corps at the White House.
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: We mentioned a little bit. So the president's latest eye
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: sproink in CNN is, OK, so you can be back
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: at the White House. Doesn't mean you have to ride
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: on Air Force One. So they all left for Knoxville, Tennessee.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: And and the president said, hey, CNN, find your own ride.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: So their contention is he's made it where they can't
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: do their job. And how does what he's done keep
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: them from making stuff up?
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I've asked that question from the drop
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: in this story. You know, to me, it's the most
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: exquisite prison. If you understand why the White House press
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: room was invented in the first place, you and I
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: talked about this. This was so that Richard Nixon could
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: control the out-of-control news media and that had all themselves
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: a picture of Woodward and Bernstein on their mirrors in
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: their bathrooms, and they all wanted to break the next
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: big scandal around President Checkers. So he decided, if I
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: keep them all locked in the White House, they won't
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: go off to some parking garage and talk to the
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: assistant director of the FBI anymore. So why would you
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: want that? If you're a journalist, why would you want this?
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: If you're a network, why would you want this? Except
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: that somebody is paying for that kind of coverage, because
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: I've looked at the ratings. I don't see, oh, we're
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: going to go live to our White House press correspondent
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: who's standing under a tent that the White House told
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: him to stand on or reading a statement that the
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: White House gave him, and it's his news to you, Bob.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: The ratings are abysmal. It's not like we care that
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: there's somebody who sits on dutifully like an elementary school
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: student in a room that technically was built to be
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: a pool. And I don't mean a pool of reporters.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: I mean an actual swimming pool and just listens to
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: a press secretary tell them, here's what we want you
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: to say. That's not news. And we tune out of
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: it just like it. It would be like TMZ. Let's
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: take something from the celebrity world. If TMZ all of
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: a sudden sat down in Warner Brothers Studios, or what's
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: the merger now they're all hot about? Warner Brothers and
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: Paramount are supposedly merging.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Paramount, yeah.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: And so now this media megapolis has a press corps,
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: and you will sit and we will tell you what
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: Brad Pitt is saying about the new dog AI movie
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: and why the bear doesn't look. as real as Sully
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: looks in Monsters, Inc., and we'll give you that story.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: And then you can go out and go on TV
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: and say, yes, we're here outside of Warner Brothers, Paramount,
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: Comcast Studios, and here's what they've told us. I mean,
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: this isn't journalism. And I think the American people get it.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: And as a large matter of fact, we don't care
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: about this anymore. It's also why Jimmy Kimmel ratings stunk.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: Because Jimmy Kimmel was just the spokesperson for the Disney Corporation. Hey,
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: guess what? We've got Dwayne Johnson. He's going to come
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: in and tell us about his new Disney movie coming
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: up here on Jimmy Kimmel. And then the latest recording
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: sensation from Hollywood Records is going to be on it. It's... Okay, fine.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: They're all commercials. And you know what we do with commercials, Dr.
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: Clark?
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: We tune them out. And that's what's happening to the media.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: Present company excluded.
• 20:18
  Speaker 16: The only benefit I can see from them being in
• 20:25
  Speaker 16: that press room is maybe it helps with the theater
• 20:32
  Speaker 16: and gives some credence to whatever they make up.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: I don't know. It's this faux access. You know, it's
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: like the reporters that supposedly were embedded with the soldiers
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: in Gulf One. I'm like, OK, so it might be
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: interesting to find out what's going on, but they're only
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: going to tell the audience what Storm and Norman Schwarzkopf
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: wanted them to say. Because as soon as they don't,
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: they stop being embedded. And they might stop being embedded
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: in a place where they don't have a ride back. So,
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: you know, I just, I just, I don't know. And
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: I said this earlier. I worry that there's, what do
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: we call it, Dr. Clark? Not a flaw, but a feature.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: That's what the gaming community says. It's not a flaw.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: It's a feature. It's designed to make us not trust games.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: the broadcasters, the TV stations, the radio stations, because we
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: have so much of it and the websites and the bloggers.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: You're not supposed to believe Nick Fuentes or Hassan Piker anymore.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: And what will happen is guys like James O'Keefe will
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: get sucked up in that. California just passed the, what's
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: the kid from Minneapolis? They just passed a law with
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: his name on it. You're naming bills after a 21-year-old
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: kid in California?
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: herbal supplements had no trace of the advertised herb. Don't
• 22:10

  Speaker 17: Would your car perform better with premium gas or regular?

  Speaker 17: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
• 23:14
  Speaker 17: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:16
  Speaker 17: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: That's what you should use.
• 23:22
  Speaker 17: But there are exceptions to the rule. Many high-end or
• 23:25
  Speaker 17: luxury vehicles call for premium or higher octane fuel. And
• 23:28
  Speaker 17: the reason for this is not just due to the
• 23:30
  Speaker 17: octane rating. There are better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels.
• 23:34
  Speaker 17: Gasoline companies know, too, that vehicles that run on premium
• 23:37
  Speaker 17: won't perform as well with carbon deposits. so they pack
• 23:39
  Speaker 17: more cleaning power into their premium fuels than their regular blend.
• 23:43
  Speaker 17: If you rotate your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful,
• 23:46
  Speaker 17: you may find better performance and miles per gallon because
• 23:49
  Speaker 17: you are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.
• 23:53
  Speaker 17: Just don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them

  Speaker 6: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 18: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

  Speaker 11: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls

• 25:56
  Speaker 19: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 12: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: Heart and brain.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody.
• 26:13
  Speaker 19: Call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 13: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: Me too.
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 10: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 10: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 10: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 10: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:58
  Speaker 10: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 10: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey.
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: Well, okay.
• 28:18
  Speaker 11: Them.
• 28:18
  Speaker 13: That's Instagram.
• 28:19
  Speaker 21: Or OnlyFans.
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: And that's the thing that I wish, and the majority
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: of us, and I hate to feel like we are
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: debunking the mythos of 5% of the population, because that's
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: really where we are. I mean, we're dealing with the
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: coverage that's given to the 5% that will light themselves
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: on fire and then sit down on the interstate to
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: block traffic. And it's mostly here to act like that
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: solvent that's dropped into a puddle of oil and you
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: watch it all break up. Hopefully it's just the common
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: sense because sadly, considering our voter turnout, And I'm, uh,
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: appearing on a podcast at dailysignal.com this weekend, publishing or
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: going live, whatever they call it, we talk about voter
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: turnout and how it's easy. You do the math, drive down,
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: vote suppress, by vote depress, And then you only need
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: to fool 20% of the population. You get the 5%
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: of the zealots, and then 15% don't want to be
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: seen as against the zealots or are interested in appearing
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: under the bright lights of the TV news. So there's
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: your 20%. Wash, rinse, repeat. It's how unpopular, undemocratically supported agendas...
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: get moved along. And Dr. Clark and I were talking
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: about those press corps. That's how I write it now.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: It's C-O-R-P-S-E as the press continues to act like PR there, Clark.
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: I appreciate it.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: I know. Personal experience, Joe, I am reluctant to talk
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: to press media. And the reason that I'm reluctant to
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: talk to them is My experience, you talk to them
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: for a half an hour and they'll take two or
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: three things you've said and use it to give credence
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: to the story they wanted to tell.
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah. And that's a great point of it because
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: we're telling stories. We're supposed to be telling true stories
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: as opposed to the fiction writers who sit there and say,
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: because the difference was I start with nothing and I
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: follow the story and tell you where I'm at in
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: the story. A fiction writer says, where do I want
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: to go? What's the ending? And then I'll write the
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: stuff that'll get me to the ending. And that's what's
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: happened to journalism. Journalism now is, here's the ending I want.
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: Let me go get the sound bites I need to
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: get to that ending.
• 31:46
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: And I have not appreciated being used for that.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: And I don't think anyone does. Nick Shirley, by the way,
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I forgot the kid's name. But yeah, the
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: Stop Nick Shirley Act was just passed this week in California.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: And what it does is it makes it illegal for
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: somebody who isn't a recognized journalist to document and publish
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: online allegations and recordings of fraud involving taxpayer-funded services. Can
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: you believe the United States has a law that says
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: that now?
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can. It's unfortunate. But, you know, here's the thing.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: That's a California stop, Nick Shirley, right?
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: So while we're on California, we should make sure that
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: everybody that wants to vote Democrat thinks about the fact
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: that that if they can vote Democrats in, they'll bring
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: the gas prices down like Newsom's done for California.
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they've done such a bang-up job there, closed more refineries.
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: What is it like?
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: I think diesel is more than $ 8 a gallon there.
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah. Considering all the seaports there and all the
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: trucking that has to go on.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: There, Well, at some point in time, Donald Trump is
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: going to have to make a deal with Mexico to
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: put a seaport south of California so we can bring
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: stuff into the country because California is going to be
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: a problem with that at some point in time. Well,
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: they already are.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: Well, this is the best defense against Mexico invading and
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: trying to get California back because every time they do
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: something like this, Mexico becomes less likely to want California back.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, why would they want it back?
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: For what?
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: It's actually bring down the standard of living in Mexico. Anyway, sir,
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: I must run. You have a good morning. Enjoy the wedding,
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: and we'll talk to you again soon.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Keep doing it.
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: Hey, our friend Mac, you know, he promised me he
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: was going to do a piece on this Save College
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: Sports From Themselves Act. And he did, to his credit,
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: sat down with somebody who knows a little bit, the
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: son of the former head coach of the Washington Redskins
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: and former U.S. Senator. So he's seen it from both sides,
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: college quarterback George Allen. Thank you, Joe, and good morning.
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: Happy Friday.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: The U.S.
• 34:27
  Speaker 22: Senate is moving toward a final vote on the Protect
• 34:30
  Speaker 22: College Sports Act after clearing multiple procedural hurdles this month.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: And, of course, they can't get the Save America Act.
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: But anyway, Matt, go ahead.
• 34:38
  Speaker 22: The first vote passed 74-24 to limit debate and advance
• 34:43
  Speaker 22: consideration of the Protect College Sports Act. The second vote
• 34:47
  Speaker 22: passed 77-22 to move the bill forward in the Senate.
• 34:51
  Speaker 22: The latest procedural vote passed 70-21 to clear a cloture
• 34:56
  Speaker 22: motion on a substitute amendment. teeing up a final chamber
• 35:00
  Speaker 22: vote so as far as the house status is concerned
• 35:03
  Speaker 22: the u s house of representatives is in recess until
• 35:05
  Speaker 22: november ninth meaning any house vote will occur post senate
• 35:10
  Speaker 22: passage former virginia governor and senator george allen has long
• 35:14
  Speaker 22: been a proponent of fairness in college athletics His background
• 35:17
  Speaker 22: of being a UVA quarterback, his legendary father coaching the Redskins, and,
• 35:21
  Speaker 22: of course, his push for Virginia Tech to be a
• 35:24
  Speaker 22: member of the ACC exemplifies his personal feelings on major
• 35:29
  Speaker 22: sports issues. So, with the Protect College Sports Act, the
• 35:33
  Speaker 22: senator explained to Bud Foster and yours truly, what happens next?
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: Well, it's the amendment process.
• 35:39
  Speaker 18: What happens next will be amendments. There are people, there
• 35:44
  Speaker 18: are senators... who don't like the bill as drafted or
• 35:48
  Speaker 18: would like to see modifications or some other aspects, provisions
• 35:52
  Speaker 18: put into it. But at least they said, all right,
• 35:56
  Speaker 18: let's at least have a debate, which is helpful. And
• 35:59
  Speaker 18: so at the end of that, usually with a bill
• 36:02
  Speaker 18: like this or a lot of legislation is that, is
• 36:05
  Speaker 18: there more good than bad? Or do you have to
• 36:08
  Speaker 18: hold your nose and vote for it? Or it's just,
• 36:10
  Speaker 18: it's too distasteful that even if you do like a
• 36:13
  Speaker 18: provision or two, You just think the overall bill is
• 36:16
  Speaker 18: too bad and you vote against it.
• 36:18
  Speaker 22: Senator Allen is in favor of football players being paid,
• 36:21
  Speaker 22: considering what the Power 4 programs bring to the table.
• 36:25
  Speaker 22: He thinks it's only fair considering coaches and their contracts.
• 36:29
  Speaker 18: I think especially football players ought to be paid. They're
• 36:33
  Speaker 18: risking their health. They're making literally tens, if not hundreds
• 36:39
  Speaker 18: of millions of dollars for athletic programs, and football is
• 36:43
  Speaker 18: a business. Athletics is a business.
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: And here is a point that Mac and I have
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: talked about this frequently. If this is simply a way
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: to market your university, then dispense with using your students
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: to do it. Hire the best football players you can,
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: the same way you hire the best professors that you can,
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: so that if you're Cornell and you want people to
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: come there and study engineering, maybe they didn't get into MIT,
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: you say, we've got, you know, outside of MIT, we
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: have the best engineering school in the country. Or UVA
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: says we have the best public engineering school in the
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: country or whatever the sell point is. So you're using
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: the fact that you've hired the best engineers or the
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: best business managers or whatever it is that you want
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: to sell, movie makers or then just hire the best
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: football players. I'm sure Cal would love to have Aaron
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: Rodgers back for a few years. Probably more so than
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: the Pittsburgh Steelers do. But if you're not going to
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: count scholarship as pay... Can.
• 38:01
  Speaker 21: You believe with all the recent violent protests, looting, and destruction,
• 38:06
  Speaker 21: some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing the police?
• 38:11
  Speaker 21: At a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of
• 38:14
  Speaker 21: police the most, some elected officials would rather create.
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: More chaos by playing politics.
• 38:19
  Speaker 21: If you're sick of elected officials caving in to demands
• 38:22
  Speaker 21: of the radical left, you're not alone. It's time we
• 38:26
  Speaker 21: stand up and declare our support for local police. The
• 38:30

  Speaker 8: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.

  Speaker 20: Exercise is hard, so is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:02
  Speaker 20: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 20: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 20: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 20: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 20: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:23
  Speaker 20: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 20: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 20: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 20: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 19: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking

  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas.
• 44:18
  Speaker 15: On the news.
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's it. I know that sound. It sounds like
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: Chicken Little.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: The sky is falling, the sky is falling.
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: A little boy saying, wolf, wolf, I see a wolf.
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: Satirized for your protection, it is first thing today. I
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: appreciate you joining us. I tell you what went on
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: last night. We all have roles to play. And then
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: I ask you to tell me how the news of
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: the day went. is impacting you where you are. Because
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: like the pharmaceutical companies will tell you right after all
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: the side effects that say, you know, for example, the
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: depression medication whose side effects might include increased depression. Oh,
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: to be in a business where failure is just considered
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: a side effect. I can't imagine how failing at what
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: I would do would just be a side effect. But
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: I'm sure some corporate bean counter would tell me. Good morning.
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: You're on the air with Joe. Who's this?
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Joe.
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: It's Joel. Good morning, Joel. How are you doing in
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: the high desert?
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: I'm doing okay.
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: I'm doing okay.
• 45:52
  Speaker 24: I'm trying to keep my head up with everything.
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: You know what you should do? Considering you live in
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: the high desert of Arizona, you should become like one
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: of those UFO spotters. You know, you could probably get
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: yourself a late night, you know, overnight radio show. All
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: the folks who are, you know, had been doing that
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: are aging out. And just, you know, start going, you know,
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: now half, gosh, the White House keeps releasing UFO files
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: every couple of weeks. It's salad days for the UFO
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: watchers out there. You know, just, you know, you love radio.
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: So just get on the radio and start doing overnight,
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: you know, UFO spotting.
• 46:32
  Speaker 24: Interesting, interesting topic. Maybe I'll, we can talk later because I,
• 46:36
  Speaker 24: I still listen to a Fort Myers station.
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to, you know, name all that stuff, but.
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: That's all right. We're all in this together. I mean,
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: if I, if I was one of those people that,
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: you know, feared a name, you know, how many times
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: have I talked about, you know, Imus or Howard Stern
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: or Rush Limbaugh? It's like, you know, because believe it, Joel,
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: there are people in my business who don't mention anyone
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: else in the business. lest you think, oh, maybe he's
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: better than I am. You've got to have some faith
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: in yourself. You've got to know what's important. I'm not
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: going to lose my wife and kids if somebody turns
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: the radio to something else. I might have to go
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: work in a drive-thru. There was a really funny line
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: early on when Howard Stern still did five days a
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: week and went on broadcast transmission. He was doing this
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: bit with his agent that it It's kind of reminiscent
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: to what he went through this past summer where he
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: dragged all the TMZ media through this whole SiriusXM deal.
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: But I remember the guy who was playing, it might
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: have been Jackie the Joke Man Martling or whoever it was,
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: was playing his agent on the phone with him saying, Howard,
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: if you keep this up, the only microphone you're ever
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: going to talk into is in the drive-thru of a
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: Burger King. And at the time I was working in
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: the drive-thru at a Burger King and all of my friends...
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: All of my friends call me and say, you should earn.
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: Howard's going to take your job from you. Anyway, regardless
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: of that, it's our misrepresentations of your world there. What's
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: on your mind? Well, I mean, we've all.
• 48:17
  Speaker 24: Been through our physical things and we've had medical issues.
• 48:21
  Speaker 24: I mean, and I like the conversation you had with Dr.
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: Clark, but I wanted to say this, too.
• 48:29
  Speaker 24: Part of the media has obligation. And I don't mean
• 48:33
  Speaker 24: obligation in the sense that they have to always be correct.
• 48:39
  Speaker 24: But the obligation is if I go to a physician
• 48:42
  Speaker 24: or I don't have any pets, but let's say I
• 48:44
  Speaker 24: go to Dr. Clark and he goes, oh, your cat
• 48:47
  Speaker 24: is dying of feline leukemia.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: And it's not.
• 48:51
  Speaker 24: But he's just saying that so he can make money.
• 48:57
  Speaker 24: Or so he can misrepresent the diagnosis. I'm not saying
• 49:01
  Speaker 24: that the reporters have a diagnosis, but they have an obligation.
• 49:06
  Speaker 24: And what they're doing is they're throwing stories just to
• 49:11
  Speaker 24: fit their narrative, and the narrative may be a political narrative. Now,
• 49:16
  Speaker 24: what President Trump could do is he could– could have
• 49:20
  Speaker 24: them come into certain situations, and I don't mean do
• 49:23
  Speaker 24: it as a trap, but he could open up the
• 49:26
  Speaker 24: door to where, hey, The only way they could get
• 49:29
  Speaker 24: out of that door is by doing things through their
• 49:32
  Speaker 24: obligation and doing it truthful.
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 49:35
  Speaker 24: What I'm saying is it's almost like a Venus flytrap,
• 49:39
  Speaker 24: but not trapping them, but making them obligate their story.
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, here's the thing. The First Amendment does that.
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: So the First Amendment works in concert with libel and
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: slander laws. I have the right to say what I want.
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: If it turns out that I was slandering, say you.
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: And this happens to people in my industry all the time,
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: especially in music radio, because, you know, music radio is
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: full of these folks who think making fun of other
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: people is humor. And, you know, I'm satirized behavior. Fine. But,
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: you know, we're all just freaking carbon bags of carbon
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: and water. So, you know, ease up on like it being. Well,
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: he's just, I've worked with people like this. There was
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: a guy in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. His job was basically watching
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: a parking lot. The guy paid him a few shilling.
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: He was 80 or some odd years old. He had
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: seen more things than anyone would care to ask, but
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: no one cared to ask. He just sounded kind of
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: goofy and like all the elevators weren't all going to
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: the top. So when I got to Lancaster, and this
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: is a top 40 station, so, you know, big humor, right?
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: We're shock jock morning shows. This host that I was
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: supposed to work with, her idea of high humor was calling,
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: I can't even, it was like Charlie the parking lot guy,
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: and making fun of him. Not even like asking him, hey,
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: who do you got in the football game this weekend?
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: And listen, or what do you think of the governor?
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: She'd just call, And ask him, you know, the most
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: inane questions and then make fun of the fact that
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: he didn't know the answer or he didn't know what
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: time it was. I'm like, that's just making fun of
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: a person. And you don't know what their story is.
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: Maybe he was in a war and he had TBI
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: or whatever it is. And so, you know, we can
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: criticize people for how they behave in making mistakes because
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: that's how you get better. If you say, hey, maybe
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: that wasn't the best choice. And you say, OK, maybe
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: you should do that differently. That's different than just making
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: fun of your accent or your hair or the hump
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: in your back or whatever it is that they make
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: fun of you for. You know that because that's but
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: that's where a lot of people in this industry have
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: gotten to. And especially covering President Trump. I think he
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: does that to a degree. Those those afternoons in the
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: Oval Office where he just sits there. with everybody in
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: the press in the Oval Office. Yeah, nobody, no president
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: does that. And I think that was sort of the
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: root of how he was upset about Caitlin Collins and
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: some of these folks and how they were reporting on
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: those afternoon teas in the Oval Office, Joel. But it's
• 52:40
  Speaker 5: a great point. I mean, just bring him in and say,
• 52:42
  Speaker 5: you know, here, you know, here's the story. Let's see
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: how you do with it.
• 52:46
  Speaker 15: See?
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: See how many, it's like the game of telephone, see
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: how many permutations it goes through. You know, it's true.
• 52:52
  Speaker 23: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
• 52:55
  Speaker 23: to think about what matters most when it comes to
• 52:57
  Speaker 23: our spending, our healthcare. This is why so many people
• 53:00
  Speaker 23: are joining MediShare right now. MediShare is a trusted way
• 53:05
  Speaker 23: to save up to 50% on your monthly healthcare costs.
