"Movie Plots (or Plotz)" (FTTxJT Tue 090826 hr3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: This is Independence from Virginia, again, first thing today, by
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Joe works at a steel mill, works damn near every day.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Leaves for work when the sun comes up, drops the
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: kids to school and all the work.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: he needs. No wonder Joe's always smiling, he only aims
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: to please you.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: Bless you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: this morning.
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: 434-882-4217.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: That's the important number because you can text message to
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: it or use it as a traditional telephone. Once I've
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: told you what went on last night, and by all means,
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: I will give you my analysis of SAME. But then
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: I want to hear how it's impacting you because you
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: are the singular most important local aspect of the radio station.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: And I know that a lot of radio thinkers will
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: say it's the news, it's the traffic, it's the public
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: service and events.
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: And that kind of thing.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: It starts with you being there. And if you're not there,
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: it doesn't make a difference. And just like we were
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: talking about relationships in a business way, you know, the
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: relationships between, you know, customer service, I guess would be
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: the right word, is critical. Who is your customer? And
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: this is one of the things that we see hurting
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: the workplace today. is that the customer has moved off
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: of Main Street and has become part of Wall Street,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: and that companies are more concerned with the Wall Street
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: customer than the Main Street customer. And that's when labor
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: becomes a challenge. And we need to, and I think
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: we're bad at it, I think we need to look at,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: because we have to first do something that's horrific in
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: the minds of many, take politics out of a conversation
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: so that we can look at what was done on
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Wall Street in the 1990s to change and to take
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: away some of the firewalls that had existed prior to
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: the mid to late 90s that have led to a
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: lot of this Wall Street over abundance or over reliance
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: on Wall Street. Because making money or getting money lent
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: to you to do something is not in and of
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: itself bad. Our first things this morning, we told you
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: the story on Monday's program about the Alternative für Deutschland
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: party that won a large block, but not a majority.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: The press would like to make it seem like they've
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: just won the chancellery of Germany. They've won a bunch
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: of seats in a rural province of Germany. But it's
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: got everyone's attention because they want to rein in the
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Islamists in flux into their community. So they're being tabbed
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: as far right. Pictures of Charlottesville, you name it. Plus
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: they want Germany supporting Germany. Russia, not Ukraine. But they
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: haven't won a majority of anything, but it's got everyone
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: in Germany hot and bothered. So German Chancellor Friedrich Merz
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: addressed it yesterday in a press event, saying that his
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: state reform's are going well and are there for all people.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Of course, that's code for not necessarily the citizens, but
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: all people. Canada, at one this morning, one minute after
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: midnight this morning, began tariffing American exports into Canada 15
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: to 50 percent, depending on the product, dairy, appliances, pulp, paper, plastics. Electronics, steel,
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: and aluminum all getting tariffed. Oil prices climbed to $ 97. 93
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: yesterday as Brent crude. This after the news of a
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: reported attack on Saudi Aramco facilities. President Trump is going
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: to headline both evenings of the RNC convention for the midterms.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: New York Mayor Zorhan Mamdani announced he will be attending
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: the September 11th memorials, even though family members and former
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Mayor Giuliani are asking him not to. And Iran's state
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: media on Monday said they now have ballistic missile capabilities.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: And those are some of our first things this morning.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: You may have heard I write for the Daily Signal. Yeah,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: that's right. Me and Victor Davis Hanson. And it's the
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: one place where I can say that about me and VDH.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: But obviously you're going to the Daily Signal for Victor
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Davis Hanson's coverage, but also Tyler O'Neill and so many
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: great reporters uncovering what's going on. Our latest one, the
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: one that published over the weekend for me, is about
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: this gold rush for sales tax collections because the state government,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: and there's some stunning numbers in my column regarding how
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: much the state government takes in, and yet they still
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: need to give local government's option of a 1% sales
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: tax to help fix schools. So when the government can't
• 6:52

  Speaker 9: You were strolling along in goodwill. When just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 9: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them, nestled
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes!
• 9:15
  Speaker 10: Yes!
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 9:20
  Speaker 9: favorite form of ear candy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 11: Oh, my.
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 12: Shh!
• 9:29
  Speaker 13: Do you smell that?
• 9:30
  Speaker 14: Shh!
• 9:32
  Speaker 9: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.

  Speaker 5: And with every item.

• 9:54
  Speaker 14: Goodwill.
• 9:54
  Speaker 9: Bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 15: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:03
  Speaker 15: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 15: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 15: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 15: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 15: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:24
  Speaker 15: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 15: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 15: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 15: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:41
  Speaker 16: Eat better.
• 10:42

  Speaker 22: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 17: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:19
  Speaker 8: He says he's got a deadline.
• 13:20
  Speaker 23: I go to work.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: He says there's no overtime.
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: I go to work.
• 13:24
  Speaker 24: He says there's something important that he needs right now
• 13:27
  Speaker 24: that's unspecified.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I go to work.
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: He says he knows he'll put in a long week,
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: but he's got to be in PC. Me so. He
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: needs me so.
• 13:35
  Speaker 23: I go to work.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: And rent's due next.
• 13:37
  Speaker 17: Week, so.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: So as we bask in the afterglow of Labor Day,
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Gene writes in, to JT in the morning radio at gmail.com.
• 13:49
  Speaker 17: He says, Joe, I agree with you.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: What you said at the start of the show, that
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: there's that weird feeling after labor day, like we've just
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: left from our vacation. And now we have to head home.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Is that I, I had not put my finger on
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: that feeling. I mean, you know, but I can see that.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: It's just like, this is our last night before we're
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: back to school tomorrow. And the, Because there's a long
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: period between now and Thanksgiving. So there's that kind of
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: weird society. The days are getting shorter. It's 10 degrees
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: cooler in the morning. It's gorgeous in a lot of
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: parts of the country right now. This is my time
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: of the year. Not just because I was born in September.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: But there has been some argument that that You know,
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: the time of the year you were born in equates
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: to the kind of seasons you like. I don't know
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: about all that, but I appreciate that. Yeah, as we
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: bask in the afterglow of another Labor Day, labor has
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: been the issue. And Joel was talking to us a
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: little bit about that when we headed to a break.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: But there's more going on, Joel?
• 15:08
  Speaker 10: I don't know.
• 15:08
  Speaker 20: I was going to call about something else.
• 15:10
  Speaker 17: Go ahead.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: You can call about anything you all want. What's the
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: old line from the Humphrey Bogart movies?
• 15:17
  Speaker 17: It's your dime. Start talking.
• 15:21
  Speaker 20: Well, I turn on early morning news here because all
• 15:25
  Speaker 20: I have really is live Fox. And they were showing
• 15:28
  Speaker 20: that a movie was made about Elon Musk. And I
• 15:32
  Speaker 20: got his first name is Gibney. And they asked that
• 15:37
  Speaker 20: producer or the director of the film why he did it.
• 15:41
  Speaker 20: And he said he wanted to create a unique story
• 15:45
  Speaker 20: about somebody who's complicated. And he said the power, he said,
• 15:50
  Speaker 20: and I think that the source of Elon's power comes
• 15:55
  Speaker 20: from how I should put it as in an expletive,
• 16:00
  Speaker 20: that to say this in a way, the ability to
• 16:03
  Speaker 20: speak with confidence and about the future and the ways
• 16:07
  Speaker 20: to convince people to invest in his companies It's really
• 16:10
  Speaker 20: a future rarely that is in sync with the facts
• 16:13
  Speaker 20: or evidence of remote possibilities. So that is really that
• 16:18
  Speaker 20: I discovered that is the fact that he's a genius
• 16:21
  Speaker 20: and there's nothing else that can be said about that.
• 16:25
  Speaker 20: And he opens up opportunities for people that may not
• 16:29
  Speaker 20: have necessarily had those opportunities. And on a sidebar, I
• 16:33
  Speaker 20: was going to say, thank God he bought X because
• 16:36
  Speaker 20: he Our, our, our, our constitution and our voice was
• 16:41
  Speaker 20: being diminished. And, and not that, not that we don't
• 16:45
  Speaker 20: have the power as we, the people, but just in general,
• 16:49
  Speaker 20: I mean, you can say that even having, you know,
• 16:52
  Speaker 20: you and your wife starting up this and it's been rough.
• 16:55
  Speaker 20: I know I hear it and I feel it sometimes,
• 16:58
  Speaker 20: but you know, you're not giving up.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: No, no.
• 17:02
  Speaker 20: I feel like giving up on my nursing search, but
• 17:06
  Speaker 20: I'm not going to.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Never give up on what you're put on this earth
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: to do, Joel, because there are things, and I'm not
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: saying that everything happens in isolation. I'm running short on time,
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: but your point about Elon Musk, and I haven't seen
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: about this documentary or anything, but one of the things
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: you said that this fellow pointed out was his ability
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: to convince people to invest in his company, in his idea.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: And I know there are people who are like, oh, well,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Elon Musk didn't invent PayPal.
• 17:44
  Speaker 17: There were some coders that wrote the code for him.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: But the idea of making a secure online transaction site,
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: nobody argues, came from him. And then he convinced people
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: to get money for it. And then he convinced people
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: to write the code. And I think, as you pointed out,
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: a lot of the people who wrote that code are
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: pretty prosperous these days. So, you know, it's that role
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: to play. And what is our role to play in
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: any relationship? Do you follow me?
• 18:19
  Speaker 24: Oh, I do.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, my.
• 18:22
  Speaker 20: Line is without the vision and without the drive, nothing
• 18:27
  Speaker 20: ever gets built. And I think He's rebuilt the space program.
• 18:32
  Speaker 20: He's putting a lot of education in schools. He's trying
• 18:36
  Speaker 20: to get rid of all the DEI. I wish I
• 18:39
  Speaker 20: could say the S word, but I can't.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: And some people will say, well, he's losing money. The
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: space program. Everybody loses money. In the end of the day,
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: the amount of people that still have money left over
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: at the end of their lives is minimal. There are
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: trust funds and there are inheritances and things like that,
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: the Walton family, etc. But what's the point of that
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: unless you're going to build something? Musk is one of
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: those guys who said, I'd rather have things that are
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: connected to me than a pile of cash in my backyard.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: And so good on him for that.
• 19:24
  Speaker 20: He's like the comet that's going through the solar system
• 19:28
  Speaker 20: that that we we always want to touch but and
• 19:32
  Speaker 20: and we can see it and and we have to
• 19:34
  Speaker 20: and we have to believe that that he's bringing he's
• 19:36
  Speaker 20: bringing good he's he's bringing good change.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Well and i think the comet you know reaching out
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: and touching the comet's tail gets a little weird. But
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: I get your point. Mercurial in nature and impact is important.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: And it doesn't have to be a grandiose thing like, hey,
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: I want to invent. But it's see a need, fill
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: a need. People on the internet. had reached that point
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: in internet commerce where they were grappling with hitting a
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: ceiling on their ability to do business on the internet.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: And so if he had tried to invent PayPal 20.
• 20:25
  Speaker 17: Years earlier, would it have worked? I don't know. I
• 20:28
  Speaker 17: don't think so.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: You didn't have the demand for an online secure payment
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: system prior to the launch of PayPal, and maybe some
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: of it was invented. A lot of people might have said, oh,
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: I didn't realize I needed that, but boy, it's good
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: I got it now. And now you've got Zelle and
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: all of these different ways. I think Brown Paper Bag is,
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: if I was going to start an online secure payment site,
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: I would call it brownpaperbag.com. a leap to money out
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: behind the back door in a brown paper bag. But
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: that's just the way my mind thinks. I couldn't write
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: code to save my life. But that's the thing about
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: industry is that there are the people who have the idea, hey,
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: this would be a really good idea if this, the
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: people who touch the market and they're like, this would
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: be a good thing to have. And then, you know,
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: convincing people to give them the startup money for it.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: And then going forth and doing it. And the point
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: about making money, losing money, and we talk about this
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: in my industry. I mean, I've had some pretty heavy
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: capital expenditure hits. But other than that, you know, if
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: you take that out, and I know that's an accounting game. But,
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: you know, we're earning enough to pay our bills every
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: month outside of the capital expenditure.
• 21:58
  Speaker 17: So you just try to get past those. Hey, I'm Brant,
• 22:02
  Speaker 17: and her name is Sherry.
• 22:03
  Speaker 10: Hello.
• 22:04
  Speaker 25: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 25: for because of a surgery she just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 19: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:12

• 22:18
  Speaker 25: health care bill?
• 22:18
  Speaker 19: Honestly, Brant, seamless. And what a blessing that is. When
• 22:21
  Speaker 19: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
• 22:24
  Speaker 19: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 19: me tell you, Having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 19: call in with your need, that is just.
• 22:33
  Speaker 13: It is refreshing.
• 22:34
  Speaker 19: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 25: But I keep telling people, people love MediShare and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 25: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 19: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different.
• 22:46
  Speaker 19: And I mean different in a very, very good way.

  Speaker 3: Hi, I'm Dr. Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Medical Association. Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: veterinarians deliver better care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: speed up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: supports veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: develop personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: on patients. But as with any new technology, always keep
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
• 23:44
  Speaker 17: AI is a powerful tool.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: But not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion, and judgment,

  Speaker 26: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 24:09
  Speaker 26: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 24:14
  Speaker 26: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 26: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 26: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 24:28
  Speaker 26: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 24:33
  Speaker 26: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:36
  Speaker 26: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 24:40
  Speaker 26: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 24:42
  Speaker 26: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,

• 28:23
  Speaker 4: um is is it's so apolitical no no that's not
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: it it was something else it's it's that there are
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: things that are axiomatic like if if you turn the
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: ball over four times and allow your opponent to run
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: up 600 yards of total offense, it's.
• 28:39
  Speaker 17: Pretty well predictable that you're going to lose.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: Until Southern Methodist, maybe it's the Methodist part. Somebody had

• 28:50

• 28:52
  Speaker 17: Oh, my goodness.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: Mac McDonald is here with us for sports this morning.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: That game last night, huh?
• 28:58
  Speaker 17: What a mess.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: And that's where commissioners are.
• 29:02
  Speaker 24: As I wrote for next hour, ACC officials, Florida Power
• 29:08
  Speaker 24: and Light, Tallahassee Utilities, they were trying to save everybody.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: The barbecue stands, the scoreboards.
• 29:13
  Speaker 17: Everything was a mess.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: You would have thought that the Rolling Stones were in there.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: But they didn't start until like 11 o'clock Eastern.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: No, it was 9.15 Eastern. Yeah, it was 915.
• 29:25
  Speaker 28: Oh, okay.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: So when I read the news story, I thought it
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: was 915 local in.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: Well, the East Coast. Yeah, it was. The game was
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: supposed to start at 735. It got underway at 915.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: Not bad.
• 29:38
  Speaker 18: Huh?
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: You know, hour and 40.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: It's only Florida. I mean, what could happen in Florida
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: in two hours?
• 29:44
  Speaker 24: Our electricity was fine, you know, but anyway, it was
• 29:49
  Speaker 24: a mess. Well, so, and speaking of messes and speaking
• 29:53
  Speaker 24: on the, and pardon this joke, on the heels of
• 29:56
  Speaker 24: an investigation in Chapel Hill.
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: All right. I had to say it.
• 30:01
  Speaker 24: Bill Belichick, it was a great press conference yesterday.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: Great to the tunes that Bill Belichick returns to. It's
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: on to East Tennessee.
• 30:12
  Speaker 24: So this investigation, in case you've been under a rock
• 30:15
  Speaker 24: or on vacation in the Bahamas, having a good time.
• 30:19
  Speaker 24: GM Michael Lombardi was let go. It includes his son,
• 30:25
  Speaker 24: Steve Belichick, who was coaching drug use and proper relationships.
• 30:29
  Speaker 24: His son is on medical leave. Lombardi got fired, but
• 30:32
  Speaker 24: he's still getting paid. And so now this investigation, which
• 30:36
  Speaker 24: has expanded, when Bill was asked the question yesterday, do
• 30:40
  Speaker 24: you have a culture of compliance here? with your football program.
• 30:45
  Speaker 24: And Bill said, totally. The university, with the internal investigation,
• 30:48
  Speaker 24: there was a complaint from a former employee. And during
• 30:51
  Speaker 24: that time, Mike Lombardi, the GM, making about a million
• 30:54
  Speaker 24: and a half, was Belichick's first hire for the Tar
• 30:57
  Speaker 24: Heels after being placed on administrative leave July 27th.
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: So, and he's, let's just, he's still getting paid. Okay.
• 31:04
  Speaker 24: So both Lombardi and C. Belichick have been questioned by
• 31:08
  Speaker 24: lawyers and And now Bill, Bill, Coach Belichick, of course,
• 31:12
  Speaker 24: has been questioned and he is complying. But it was
• 31:14
  Speaker 24: just the it was the press conference tone that Bill
• 31:17
  Speaker 24: Belichick can handle better than anybody. Joe loves it. So
• 31:20
  Speaker 24: that's one of the reasons I bring it to the table.
• 31:22
  Speaker 24: So as he said yesterday, he said, I can't comment,
• 31:26
  Speaker 24: you know.
• 31:27
  Speaker 17: Build a culture of compliance.
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: You know, do you feel what the investigation, whatever he goes?
• 31:31
  Speaker 11: Nope.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: It's on to East Tennessee.
• 31:33
  Speaker 12: Yeah, we're focused on, you know, getting off to a
• 31:35
  Speaker 12: good start at home and, you know, playing competing well
• 31:38
  Speaker 12: against ETSU. You know, we had a good game to
• 31:40
  Speaker 12: build on from last week, but that's over. And so
• 31:42
  Speaker 12: now we're on to week two.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 31:44
  Speaker 24: So then when, you know, they, they, for 13 minutes
• 31:46
  Speaker 24: in this press conference yesterday, and I've, I've listened to
• 31:49
  Speaker 24: the whole thing this morning, you.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: Know, Everyone's responsible.
• 31:53
  Speaker 24: So Belichick started to slip out little things here in
• 31:56
  Speaker 24: the press conference saying, OK, look, we know what's going on.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: We know about the investigation.
• 32:01
  Speaker 12: Obviously, everybody's responsible, including me, you know, for doing things properly.
• 32:06
  Speaker 12: And we intend to do that.
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: OK, and to do that. And here was the not
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: the shocker. But here's what he said.
• 32:13
  Speaker 17: He said, look, look.
• 32:16
  Speaker 24: You know, Steve is on medical leave. I can't talk
• 32:18
  Speaker 24: about that. I know you want me to say something.
• 32:20
  Speaker 24: We're not going to talk about that. So Belichick said
• 32:22
  Speaker 24: in the end, we want to run the program the
• 32:24
  Speaker 24: very best way. And if there's things we need to correct,
• 32:27
  Speaker 24: we're going to correct.
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: It's that simple.
• 32:28
  Speaker 24: Now, he said somebody asked him about the relationship with
• 32:31
  Speaker 24: the with the Carolina, you know.
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: AD and officials and president and whatever and and. Bill says, hey,
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: things are good.
• 32:39
  Speaker 12: So I have an ongoing, obviously, relationship communication with the university. And,
• 32:42
  Speaker 12: you know, they've been very supportive. They've got a great
• 32:45
  Speaker 12: working relationship with those people. So, you know, in the end, look,
• 32:49
  Speaker 12: we want to run the program in the very best way.
• 32:52
  Speaker 12: And if there's things we need to do to correct it,
• 32:54
  Speaker 12: then we'll obviously do them.
• 32:56
  Speaker 17: There you go.
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: So anyway, lawyers hired as part of the investigation.
• 33:01
  Speaker 24: Well, they're looking at reports of the sexual relationship between
• 33:04
  Speaker 24: a female recruiting staff member and at least one player
• 33:07
  Speaker 24: along with one between assistant coaches and the recruiting staff.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: Like, you know, the guys that are 12 hours a day.
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: It's a late night. It's 11 o'clock. I'm in my office.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: I'll just make a phone call.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: You've got to appreciate, though, you know, in a world
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: where pretty much anything is allowable in collegiate sports recruiting,
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: that we're still finding ways to break rules.
• 33:29
  Speaker 17: I like this. You know, somewhere Rick Pitino is like,
• 33:33
  Speaker 17: I told you. I told you.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Although with Patino, it's more like, I told you.
• 33:39
  Speaker 17: You start to sound like that waitress at Dunkin' Donuts.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: No, it's great. It's, you know, so. That's Chapel Hill
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: with everything happening.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's like 100,000 times more words than Bill
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: Belichick used to give in New England.
• 33:57
  Speaker 26: Oh, I know.
• 33:58
  Speaker 17: I know. He was waxy.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: It was like Will Rogers compared to traditional Steve Belichick.
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: We can't be in a better news cycle. We've got to.
• 34:08
  Speaker 24: The Patriots in Seattle playing tomorrow night. Who scheduled a
• 34:12
  Speaker 24: Super Bowl? You didn't have to schedule a Super Bowl
• 34:16
  Speaker 24: rematch in game one.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: They do now.
• 34:18
  Speaker 17: They like to do that.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: Tua Tagovailoa is going to be a starter.
• 34:23
  Speaker 14: Where?
• 34:24
  Speaker 10: Where?
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: For Atlanta. Phoenix is on some injured list.
• 34:31
  Speaker 24: Mike Vrabel and the Diana Rossini story is continuing to surface.
• 34:37
  Speaker 24: You've got Tom Brady addressing his broadcast career.
• 34:42
  Speaker 17: Tony Romo somewhere in rehab.
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: There's just so.
• 34:46
  Speaker 24: Much out there that's that's happening with, you know, you
• 34:49
  Speaker 24: have college and pro and it's this is a great time.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: You work with the next generation. You and I have
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: talked at some length and we've avoided the subject. And
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: some people who follow the program regularly are when are
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: you going to talk about your boy, Tony Romo? Because
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: they know that I have expressed that of the of
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: the right. analysts that are out there. As much as
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: I didn't like Tony Romo as a quarterback, I kind
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: of like him as an analyst, and he's on suspension
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: and the DUI and everything else. One wonders, will he
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: be the same guy when he comes back?
• 35:27
  Speaker 17: I hope he is.
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: I hope he's still candid, and I hope he's still
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: able to speak his mind, because I think that's what
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: made him refreshing, was.
• 35:37
  Speaker 24: Yeah, when he stood in court, sorry to interrupt you,
• 35:39
  Speaker 24: but when he stood up in court, he admitted, yeah,
• 35:42
  Speaker 24: I was wrong.
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: And then he always went back to, look, I had
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: severe back injury. You know, same with Tiger.
• 35:47
  Speaker 24: I had severe back troubles from playing football. And yeah,
• 35:52
  Speaker 24: I had an open container of probably a beer that
• 35:55
  Speaker 24: was in his cup holder. And then he said, you know,
• 35:58
  Speaker 24: so it was, I knew I was caught. I knew
• 36:01
  Speaker 24: it was a done deal. And so with all that, though,
• 36:06
  Speaker 24: Get ready, get ready for this. Cause this is a,
• 36:08
  Speaker 24: this is what makes, so the women's world cup basketball
• 36:12
  Speaker 24: teams playing in this FIBA tournament.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 36:14
  Speaker 24: Brianna Stewart is, you know, she's been playing great. Caitlin
• 36:18
  Speaker 24: is part of this and you got angel Reese and
• 36:20
  Speaker 24: you got page Beckers, the two players who were either
• 36:24
  Speaker 24: really jealous of Caitlin, but now, but now angel Reese is,
• 36:29
  Speaker 24: is supporting Caitlin, fist-pumping threes, enjoying it. And Paige Beckers
• 36:35
  Speaker 24: and Caitlin are lovey-dovey in pregame warm-ups. They're stretching together.
• 36:39
  Speaker 24: They're working together.
• 36:40
  Speaker 17: They're holding hands. It's funny what happens. Maybe there's all
• 36:43
  Speaker 17: right with the world.
• 36:44
  Speaker 24: Maybe the whole world will start to say, maybe there
• 36:46
  Speaker 24: can be peace. Maybe we can look at some of
• 36:51
  Speaker 24: the other countries and.
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: Go, maybe we can create a little peace. Little piece here.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: So, yes, because Isaiah Thompson, Isaiah Thomas was considered a
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: really good teammate on Team USA. And, you know, until
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: he put the Detroit jersey back on, then he was
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: a killer again.
• 37:09
  Speaker 29: Well, they they still say the greatest the greatest Olympic
• 37:15
  Speaker 29: team basketball game ever was one that was never filmed
• 37:19
  Speaker 29: when Jordan and Magic were getting into it.
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: And I mean, it was a it was trash.
• 37:24
  Speaker 17: Oh, it was the first practices.
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: You can't stop me. Nobody's going to stop me. Yeah,
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: that's still the little stories are. Or legendary.
• 37:34
  Speaker 17: Larry Bird has talked about that.
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: He's just like, and I'm sure somebody's got it somewhere
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: and it'll be released as the last 30 for 30
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: before ESPN shuts the lights out.
• 37:47
  Speaker 17: Anyway, but a busy week.
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll have more tomorrow. It's a good day. But
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: we'll see you tomorrow morning.

  Speaker 17: We're on East Tennessee State. A lot of film to
• 37:56
  Speaker 17: watch on East Tennessee State. See you soon.

  Speaker 10: Hi, it's Mark Falter, host of the Financial Fitness Show.
• 38:05
  Speaker 10: I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
• 38:08
  Speaker 10: penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately,
• 38:13
  Speaker 10: for most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 38:17
  Speaker 10: Because most people spend more time planning next weekend's getaway
• 38:21
  Speaker 10: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less in taxes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 10: My financial fitness team has put together some materials that
• 38:27
  Speaker 10: I know are going to help you. It's the tax
• 38:29
  Speaker 10: savings kit. Tax savings kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: top 10 ways to pay less in taxes, and an
• 38:38
  Speaker 10: investor's guide to taxes. Now, how do you get it?
• 38:41
  Speaker 17: Simple.

• 39:04
  Speaker 26: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 39:09
  Speaker 26: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 26: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 26: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 26: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 39:28
  Speaker 26: and nutrients back every part of your body. Both age
• 39:33
  Speaker 26: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 26: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 39:40
  Speaker 26: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 39:42
  Speaker 26: your hands and feet. Well, our products Ultimate nitric oxide
• 39:47
  Speaker 26: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

  Speaker 30: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:38
  Speaker 30: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 30: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 30: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:50
  Speaker 30: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 30: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 30: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 41:00
  Speaker 30: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

• 41:10
  Speaker 30: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
• 41:14
  Speaker 30: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 41:18
  Speaker 30: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for

  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:16
  Speaker 22: Word to your moms, I came to drop bombs. I
• 44:18
  Speaker 22: got more rhymes than the Bible's got songs. And just
• 44:20
  Speaker 22: like the prodigal son, I've returned. I came to get down,
• 44:23
  Speaker 22: I came to get down. So get out your seat
• 44:26
  Speaker 22: and jump around.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Jump around.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: Mark wrote in a couple of weeks ago and I
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: forgot to get to it last week.
• 44:35
  Speaker 17: He said, I love that.
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: House of Pain song. I didn't remember it having guitars
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: in it. Then I discovered that what you're playing is
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: what they call in the interwebs a mashup.
• 44:47
  Speaker 17: I had never heard of these things. Thanks, Joe. Now
• 44:49
  Speaker 17: I'm addicted to them. I know they are. Some of
• 44:52
  Speaker 17: them are really, really bad.
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: And the trouble with the mashup industry is that there
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: are ones that just sound like such a good idea
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: and it doesn't work for anything.
• 45:08
  Speaker 17: And then there are ones like that one.
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: It's just like, you know, gee, did Slash go into
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: the studio with House of Pain and record some guitar
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: licks for it or whatnot?
• 45:16
  Speaker 17: No, some work, some don't.
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: But of course, that means our Bombardier, Tom Drops Bombs
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: on YouTube is where you find them. Or Machine Gun Kelly,
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: which is what they're starting to call him around the
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: Commonwealth of Virginia, is with his delegate, Tom Garrett.
• 45:32
  Speaker 17: How are you doing, Tom?
• 45:35
  Speaker 11: I think I briefly dated Machine Gun Kelly, and she's
• 45:37
  Speaker 11: a nice lady. We ended on good terms, but very, very,
• 45:43
  Speaker 11: very nice lady.
• 45:44
  Speaker 17: Very good. I like that.
• 45:45
  Speaker 11: I'm well. How are you this Labor Day extended weekend?
• 45:51
  Speaker 11: I know you're not working today.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 45:53
  Speaker 17: People are listening.
• 45:54
  Speaker 11: To the Dolphins, but you're live, no less.
• 45:57
  Speaker 17: Yeah, it's been great.
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: I wanted to ask you, though, about labor, because our governor,
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: who's still trying to resurrect her image to continue to
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: get herself mentioned on a national platform, is out there.
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: She made a Labor Day address, which I didn't think
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: was formatic for a Virginia governor or governor in general
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: to make a Labor Day address. But again, this is
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: image resuscitation, talking about all these regulations that she's placed
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: on the job market, that even the Weldon Cooper Center
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: at the University of Virginia said is going to cost
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: us tens of thousands of jobs over the next half
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: a dozen years or so. She's talking about how this
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: is great for employees. Is this the sad state of
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: labor these days where, sure, we have laws that protect you.
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: You don't have a job for us to protect you in,
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: but you can rest assured that we have something.
• 47:03
  Speaker 11: It's sort of the government inserting itself into the role
• 47:07
  Speaker 11: of the supreme being. And I mean, I really think that,
• 47:10
  Speaker 11: and I can flesh it out, but that's a business
• 47:13
  Speaker 11: model for the left. Whatever you don't want to do
• 47:16
  Speaker 11: will get done for you. Whatever you don't have, we'll
• 47:18
  Speaker 11: take from someone else and give to you. Whatever needs
• 47:22
  Speaker 11: you have, we'll meet. I was speaking with someone close
• 47:25
  Speaker 11: to you this weekend, and we were talking about the
• 47:28
  Speaker 11: liberal conservative split between rural and urban areas. And I said, well,
• 47:31
  Speaker 11: I think, and this is just Tom's sort of logical analysis,
• 47:36
  Speaker 11: that when you become accustomed to things like the government
• 47:39
  Speaker 11: picking up your trash and the government cleaning your streets
• 47:42
  Speaker 11: and the government mowing the lawns in the common area,
• 47:45
  Speaker 11: that you naturally go, well, this is the responsibility of
• 47:49
  Speaker 11: the government. But the founders gave us something different. where
• 47:52
  Speaker 11: there were strictly enumerated powers at the federal level, and
• 47:55
  Speaker 11: then it flowed down from there. And the theory was
• 47:58
  Speaker 11: that different states would have greater and lesser responsibilities from
• 48:01
  Speaker 11: the government, that thinking people would then see what worked
• 48:04
  Speaker 11: and what didn't, and then whatever worked would be what
• 48:07
  Speaker 11: people adopted. That's not necessarily how it's played out. But yeah,
• 48:11
  Speaker 11: this is just the government inserting itself into the role
• 48:14
  Speaker 11: of supreme and all-capable provider. And I can go deeper
• 48:19
  Speaker 11: if you want.
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, but as an abstract, we've spent a
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: little bit of this program talking about the organic economy
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: of a relationship.
• 48:29
  Speaker 17: I've got an idea. You want to help me build
• 48:31
  Speaker 17: my idea. Okay.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: For every widget I sell, I'll give you this much
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: of it, you know, for your efforts in helping me
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: make it. On a grand scale, sort of how Elon Musk, quote,
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: invented PayPal, whether he wrote the code for it or not,
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: he's the one who said, hey, wouldn't it be great
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: if we had a way to pay for stuff online
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: securely and got some coders to agree to go along
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: with them? And this is what I feel like, pardon
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: the use of the phrase, but I mean it in
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: its literal definition, retarding the growth of any economy, the
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: more steps that have to happen in between it. So
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: it's not like, hey, I got an idea for a
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: better mousetrap. Let me go find some people who want
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: to invest in my idea and some people who want
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: to help me build the idea and then we'll go
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: with that. Now it's, hey, I've got an idea for
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: a better mousetrap. Let me go to the government and
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: the government's going to hold a hearing and then maybe
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: the other mousetrap manufacturers will have a moment where they
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: get to say something and then The people who live
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: around where I'm going to manufacture the mousetrap are going
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: to have a say and whether they like me or not.
• 49:44
  Speaker 17: And then my.
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: Social media is– you hear what– the government's incursion into
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: this is retarding our ability to have a great and
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: vibrant American exceptionalist economy.
• 49:56
  Speaker 11: You're allowed to say it's retarding it because Trump's in.
• 49:58
  Speaker 17: The White House.
• 49:59
  Speaker 11: Oh, OK.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:00
  Speaker 11: So, yeah, we go basal and then we go right
• 50:03
  Speaker 11: back to the high road. So I want to go back.
• 50:05
  Speaker 11: I agree with just about everything you said.
• 50:07
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 50:08
  Speaker 11: There's a scene in the movie with Rodney Dangerfield from
• 50:10
  Speaker 11: the 80s where he's gone back– I think it's called
• 50:12
  Speaker 11: Back to School– where he's gone back to college. And
• 50:15
  Speaker 11: he's an older, successful, but very blue-collar-type business person. And
• 50:20
  Speaker 11: the professor says, we're going to talk about how things
• 50:24
  Speaker 11: are done in our economy. And Rodney Dangerfield goes, well,
• 50:27
  Speaker 11: first you've got to pay off the council member. Then
• 50:29
  Speaker 11: you've got to consider who might– And the professor gets upset,
• 50:34
  Speaker 11: but the essence of humor is the scintilla of truth.
• 50:37
  Speaker 11: So I'm going to go back to the government inserting
• 50:39
  Speaker 11: itself into the role of God because as I watch
• 50:42
  Speaker 11: our society spiral outward from that which was envisioned, and
• 50:46
  Speaker 11: I think every time we're on, we reference the Adams
• 50:48
  Speaker 11: quote where he says our constitution, and I'm paraphrasing, is
• 50:51
  Speaker 11: suitable wholly and exclusively for moral and religious people and
• 50:54
  Speaker 11: for all others.
• 50:54
  Speaker 28: It's entirely inadequate.
• 50:56
  Speaker 17: I'm paraphrasing.
• 50:57
  Speaker 11: But the left now, James Tallarico embodies this. is sort
• 51:02
  Speaker 11: of co-opting faith. So you can't extract, and faith is
• 51:05
  Speaker 11: uncomfortable because it demands accountability if there is truth and falsehood,
• 51:10
  Speaker 11: if there's good and bad and dark and light. And
• 51:14
  Speaker 11: the left is saying, well, Jesus was the original communist
• 51:16
  Speaker 11: because in Acts and the early church, everybody sort of
• 51:19
  Speaker 11: threw in. Well, they didn't throw in and stop working.
• 51:22
  Speaker 11: They threw in because they were entirely committed. And, you know,
• 51:25
  Speaker 11: I go to a church where they don't pass an
• 51:26
  Speaker 11: offering plate. There's a box in the corner. If you
• 51:28
  Speaker 11: want to put something in it, then please do. But
• 51:31
  Speaker 11: compelled giving isn't giving. It's theft, right? So you're supposed
• 51:34
  Speaker 11: to give with a cheerful heart because you want to.
• 51:37
  Speaker 11: And then Paul writes in Thessalonians, if anyone will not work,
• 51:40
  Speaker 11: neither shall he eat. So there you go. And if
• 51:44
  Speaker 11: you take that in context, there was a lot going on.
• 51:46
  Speaker 11: But one of the things that was going on where
• 51:48
  Speaker 11: people in Thessaloniki, northern eastern Greece, had stopped working, it was,
• 51:54
  Speaker 11: did they think that Jesus' return was imminent? Well, maybe,
• 51:58
  Speaker 11: and that's okay. But Then they stopped working because they
• 52:03
  Speaker 11: thought that it was going to happen imminently, and then
• 52:05
  Speaker 11: the idle people relied on others for food and started
• 52:08
  Speaker 11: causing trouble. And Paul said, look, nobody knows the minute
• 52:13
  Speaker 11: or the hour, but in the meantime, you've got to
• 52:15
  Speaker 11: take care of yourself. And what the government's promising in
• 52:18
  Speaker 11: the form of Spanberger's resurrection tour, pun intended— is that
• 52:22
  Speaker 11: they're going to provide for everything. And if those evil
• 52:24
  Speaker 11: job creators don't give you what you want, don't worry,
• 52:27
  Speaker 11: because Governor Karen's going to extract it for you and
• 52:30
  Speaker 11: lay it at your feet in exchange for continued fealty
• 52:32
  Speaker 11: in the form of votes. And it's, I mean, again,
• 52:36
  Speaker 11: I don't begrudge anybody their success. I don't even need
• 52:38
  Speaker 11: that much. I just want to be left alone, which
• 52:41
  Speaker 11: I think is sort of the American ethos.
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: I think it is, too. Just make sure nobody messes
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: with my stuff. Tom drops bombs with us.
• 52:51
  Speaker 28: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:55
  Speaker 28: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 14: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
• 53:00
  Speaker 14: was no hassles.
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: There was no problem.
• 53:02
  Speaker 28: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:05
  Speaker 28: of such an incredible ministry.
• 53:07
  Speaker 16: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
• 53:11
  Speaker 16: share each other's medical expenses.
• 53:13
  Speaker 21: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 53:17
  Speaker 21: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 53:20
