"Doctor Strained Love" (FTTxJT Tue 092226 hr2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday from the radio program that's never had our
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: White House press credentials rescinded.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know we've never had any, but still.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Joe works at a steel mill, works damn near every day.
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: Leaves for work when the sun comes up, drops the
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: kids to school and on the way.
• 0:25
  Speaker 5: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: he needs.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: this morning. Just trying to make sense of it all.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: We'll take the news of the day, all the stuff
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: they tried to sneak out the back alley since last
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: we spoke. We'll chop it up into easily digestible gummies.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: And then once the side effects really start to take hold,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I want to hear how it is impacting you where
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: you are. It's sort of like a news journalism version
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: of the electric Kool-Aid acid tests during... No? All right.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: It seemed good in rehearsal. So we lay out all
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the things that are going on, and one of the
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: things I want to get into is this rush to AI.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: And I know that the folks.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: You know, like Chris Horner and Mark Morano have made
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a great case. And it's climate week going on in
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: New York. Because the UN is meeting, the climate zealots
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: are all out there saying, please, please kill more people
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: so they don't consume all this stuff. So the climate
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: zealots are out there and the debunkers are out there.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: And AI... is being treated very much in many ways
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: like the new climate change. But if you go back
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: even further from the world of great peril brinksmanship, AI
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: is also the new nuclear weapon. And I'll get into
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: exactly what I mean by that, but just let it rattle.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: If you're old enough to remember the Cold War, if
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you're old enough to remember SALT and SALT2 and mutually
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: assured destruction. What's going on with the world in this
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: group of 20 who have insisted that they have as
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: much AI as the rest of us was reminiscent of
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the countries that all wanted the Soviet Union and the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: United States to give up our nuclear missiles and at
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: least to a level where we had the same number
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: of nuclear missiles as they did. I'm sorry, did that
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: hurt your feelings? I'm sorry. But that's what they wanted.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: So we'll get into the everything old is new again
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: feel of that as well. UN meetings going on, 10.30
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: this morning, the deal that everyone thought was just Trump
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: going to send the Marines to into invade Greenland. And
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: what do you think about that, Greenland residents? The deal
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: will actually be signed to give the U.S. control over
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Greenland from a security standpoint. There are already stories that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: there'll be two new military bases up there, but more importantly,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: no Russia or Chinese ones anymore. Meanwhile, Monday, President Trump
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: held many meetings with foreign dignitaries like Emmanuel Macron and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Zoran Mamdani. Macron's meeting went very constructive, according to the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: French president. We talked about the situation in the Red Sea.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: It's important for global prices, then had a long discussion
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: about Ukraine and Russia. The president also met with Zorhan
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Mamdani and said that I want him to be a
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: great mayor. You have to understand, President Trump went on,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I want what's good for New York. I want what's
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: good for the country. Federal Judge Monday refused to block
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the administration from giving SpaceX 700 acres of wildlife refuge
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: in Texas. Fernando Rodriguez Jr. said that the Ecological Protection
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Group failed to prove that the transfer would worsen ecological risks.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: on the Gulf Coast. 22 leaders representing 20 countries, to
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: figure that out, plus the European Union on Monday called
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: for tighter controls on AI. Meanwhile, the United States and China,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: along with the United Kingdom, did not join the group.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: AI must remain under human direction, oversight, and control, the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: group of 20 said. It must be developed and used
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: in line with international law. Major television networks all suspended
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: their pool coverage in collusion with CNN, MSNOW, and Politico
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: because they're suing the White House over having their press
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: credentials rescinded. The White House issued this statement. The First
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Amendment protects their right to publish. It does not entitle
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: them to a hard pass. Meanwhile, Terry Moran said ABC
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: News shut down his report on Joe Biden's failing health
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: long before it became publicly known he said it happened
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: in late 2023 pretty clear biden was fading rather quickly
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: moran said moran said he was informed that abc would
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: not be following that story and an appeals court monday
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: ruled that the missouri redistricting can go forward.
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co-host of Foster and Friends
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: famed lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: word win stood for what's important now. The Lunch Pail
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: Defense Foundation realizes the importance of helping others. Our foundation
• 6:25

  Speaker 8: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: was no hassle.
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: There was no problem.
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: of such an incredible ministry.

  Speaker 10: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
• 7:21
  Speaker 10: share each other's medical expenses.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 7:30
  Speaker 10: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old,
• 7:35
  Speaker 10: and members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
• 7:38
  Speaker 10: medical bills.
• 7:38
  Speaker 11: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 7:41
  Speaker 11: You can focus on supporting other people.
• 7:43
  Speaker 12: MediShare is affordable.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: MediShare is biblical.

• 8:03
  Speaker 14: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 8:08
  Speaker 14: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 8:13
  Speaker 14: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 8:18
  Speaker 14: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 8:23
  Speaker 14: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 8:28
  Speaker 14: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 8:32
  Speaker 14: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 8:36
  Speaker 14: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 8:39
  Speaker 14: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 8:42
  Speaker 14: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
• 8:47
  Speaker 14: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

• 9:33
  Speaker 16: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 9:37
  Speaker 16: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 9:41
  Speaker 16: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 9:44
  Speaker 16: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 9:49
  Speaker 16: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 9:53
  Speaker 16: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 9:56
  Speaker 16: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 10:00
  Speaker 16: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
• 10:04
  Speaker 17: I'm Dr.
• 10:05
  Speaker 16: Susan Rehm of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. When
• 10:08
  Speaker 16: I speak with my patients, I urge them to get
• 10:10
  Speaker 16: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
• 10:14
  Speaker 16: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 10:17
  Speaker 16: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
• 10:20
  Speaker 16: adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,
• 10:24
  Speaker 16: and shingles, visit adultvaccination.org. That's www.adultvaccination.org.

• 10:43
  Speaker 18: we can protect and preserve it. The investments we make

  Speaker 18: how would you recognize them?
• 11:07
  Speaker 19: By their clothes, their age, the way they speak?
• 11:11
  Speaker 18: Would you notice a 16-year-old boy who got his first job?
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Not for extra spending money, but to help feed his
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: little sisters.

  Speaker 3: A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: We've cut the cost of radio listening by, hell, it
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: didn't cost anything in the first place. So let's say.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: One million dollars.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: So pause it with me. And it was as I
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: was listening to some of these folks, all these countries
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: signing off on this. We need to tamp down artificial intelligence.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: It started to sound like a lot of the nuclear control,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: the nuclear missile reduction salt to people. Back in the 70s,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the no nuke people and all of that. Because it was,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: to me anyway, and you tell me if you differ
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: on this, but the striking sound I heard was, we
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: want the same amount of AI that Russia or China
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: and the United States have. Which is all that most
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: of the significant sound and fury regarding the nuclear missile
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: crisis controls were about, Pakistan and India and the European
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: countries all wanted fewer missiles in the hands of the U.S.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and Russia, Soviet Union, so that they were a bigger deal. So,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: you know, when you see a lineup of handpicked leaders
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: from the World Economic Forum like Fred Mertz and his
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: wife Ethel, Art Carney from Canada, Tony Albanese from The Sopranos,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Ursula von der Leyen from a Bond movie, leaders of Kenya, Singapore,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: South Africa, Spain, all there at the behest of China, really.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: They all drove the Belt and Road to get there. Bahrain, Turkey,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the Emirates, all signing off on this thing, it's because
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: they want to have as much AI as the U.S.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: and China. So what they want is U.S. and China
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: to agree that they'll only have so much control over
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: AI and everyone else can have it. And here's why
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I draw the comparison, because one bad actor with as
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: much AI capability as China or the United States would
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: have could really start some ruckus, the same way a
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: rogue nation with a missile, North Korea, could start some
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: trouble if we didn't know that the Soviet Union and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: the United States were pretty well assured not to be
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: shooting missiles at one another, because there wouldn't be much
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: left of either country after it started. But these small
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: countries were like, yeah, but we could cause a ruckus
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: if we had as many missiles as they did. And
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the AI is much in the same way. You know,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: some well-done terroristic AI could cause quite a ruckus if
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: China and the United States were not the dominant players
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: in it. Because then, you know, the United States, and
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: if you don't think we have red phones on, you know, today,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, the president, has access to Beijing more frequently
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: than when Chairman Xi visits New York for the UN meetings.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: If we need to, we can call it, is this you?
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: And we can call it the deep state, whatever you will.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: But this call for control of frontier AI models just
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: reminded me so much of the, in a lot of cases,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the same countries stumping around saying, We want the Soviet
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Union and the United States to dismantle all of their
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: missiles so that we'll have as many missiles as they.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: That was the unspoken part. Anyway, our friend James Luck,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Jefferson Coin Shop, his family's been around since before the
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Bay of Pigs doing gold and silver investment. 1961 is
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: when they opened their doors to folks, and now you
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: can visit them online at jcsgold.com. Pretty good experience there.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: In the world of gold and silver investing, James, you
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: guys have seen a lot of these U.N. meetings and
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of these stomping of feet and standing behind
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: podiums demanding somebody must do something about this immediately, immediately, immediately,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: haven't you?
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: That's exactly right, Joe.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: We really have seen it all over the years.
• 18:14
  Speaker 9: And we've been here along for the ride of the
• 18:17
  Speaker 9: roller coaster of gold and silver prices. But, you know,
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: the main thing is that when you zoom out, you
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: see that that roller coaster trends up over time. Gold
• 18:25
  Speaker 9: and silver, if you zoom out to a multi-year graph,
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: you can see that even though it has ups and
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: down days and weeks and months, it does trend up
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: over time because it all has to due with the
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: shrinking value of the dollar. And growing inflation increases the
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: value of gold and silver, just like real estate or
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: any other commodity like that. Gold is down just slightly today,
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: a slight discount here, down just a third of a
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: percent to $ 4, 330. Silver is down just about half of
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: a percent here this morning to $ 65.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: 57.
• 19:05
  Speaker 9: And that's why we always tell our clients to just
• 19:08
  Speaker 9: buy your allotted amount once every two weeks, once a month,
• 19:12
  Speaker 9: whatever your budget allows. That way you don't have to
• 19:15
  Speaker 9: try to play the game of when to get in
• 19:18
  Speaker 9: the optimal time. Just buy your allotted amount and stack
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: silver over time. Sometimes you're going to get a discount
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: and you can take advantage of that.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: And that's the experience I was trying to bring out
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: to you is that long view, that ability to look
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: beyond the horizon. is very important in any kind of investment,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: but certainly something like gold and silver, where it's, what
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: do you call it, stacking silver, where you're buying this
• 19:44

  Speaker 1: build on it and to build a foundation of it.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Right?

  Speaker 20: Yeah, I just want to work. I haven't been working
• 21:13
  Speaker 20: and no money coming in. But I wanted to bring
• 21:15
  Speaker 20: this up real quick. You know, people talk about, and
• 21:20
  Speaker 20: I'm not an anti-UN, but I'm very frustrated with it.
• 21:24
  Speaker 20: But I'm watching it today and they're talking about, Kenya's
• 21:29
  Speaker 20: talking about multilateral cooperation.
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: And I think.
• 21:34
  Speaker 20: I understand why a lot of these nations want to
• 21:37
  Speaker 20: be in the U.N.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Because for peace and to try to– I just want
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: to get all this out. I know you're wanting to
• 21:47

• 28:25
  Speaker 12: You don't really need to find out what's going on.
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: You don't really want to.
• 28:31
  Speaker 23: Know just how far it's gone.
• 28:34

  Speaker 1: Danny writes in to 434-882-4217 over the White House press
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: corps' march out, I guess, walk out protest over a
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: few of their brethren losing White House press credentials. He
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: writes in, I used to work for a college football
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: team in their athletic information department, and we were constantly
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: calling newspapers to and pulling the credentials of reporters we
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: didn't like the way they covered the team. We had
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: a play-by-play team that we employed. Call them your press secretary.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: And then if you wanted access to the press box
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: to cover the game, never mind the field, you had
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: to continue to keep up approval of the university because
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: your job was to tell the story the university wanted
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: you to tell. It sounds like that's what's going on
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: at the White House. And I agree with you, Joe.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: We spend too much time talking about the president and
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: not enough time talking about Congress. Parentheses. Maybe that's because
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: they don't ever do anything. And now you sound like
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: our friend Hamp down in Treasure Coast. there, Danny, but
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the email or the text message on that one.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Joel was hanging on the line. He was just getting
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: ramped up. He's been watching the UN Bubba Fest. We
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: used to call it Bubba Lock. That was what we
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: called traffic back in the day in New York when
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Bill Clinton would come and all of his security entourage
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: would turn the city of New York into a parking
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: lot every time he came to visit. It was headlines
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: of the paper, Bubba Lock for Monday. I'm not sure
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: if it's Trump-lock or what, but New Yorkers flinch a
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: lot when the U.N. holds these General Assembly meetings. As
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: a matter of fact, there's a front page of Newsmax,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Emmanuel Macron walking around in the middle of the street,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: literally jaywalking. I wanted to see a New York City
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: police officer come up to him and say, pardon me, sir,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: pardon me, qu'est-ce que c'est jaywalking? Here's a $ 50 ticket.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Show up at one police plaza Thursday of next week
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: for your arraignment. But he's just wandering the streets as if,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: you know, they own the freaking joint. And they wonder
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: why we get annoyed with their attendance there. So anyway,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: you were ramped up about something else regarding the U.N.,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: so I'm glad you held on to it. What was it?
• 31:23
  Speaker 20: Man, Joe, it's bad for us ADDers because now I
• 31:25
  Speaker 20: have to go in other directions. But no, I'm just kidding.
• 31:28
  Speaker 20: But it's about multilateralism and cooperation. Yet to me, like
• 31:36
  Speaker 20: I said, I believe there was a valid reason for
• 31:39
  Speaker 20: the UN and there's a current for it. But the current,
• 31:43
  Speaker 20: a lot of times the UN tries to undertow to
• 31:46
  Speaker 20: what the US does. And I think they also try
• 31:51
  Speaker 20: to copy what Hollywood has portrayed America. And then there's
• 31:57
  Speaker 20: a sense of American foundation that we have. We like
• 32:00
  Speaker 20: certain things to eat. So all those things have come
• 32:04
  Speaker 20: into play with a lot of countries because they're interested
• 32:06
  Speaker 20: in it because they don't have the freedoms that our
• 32:10
  Speaker 20: founding fathers fought for. And the main thing is our constitution.
• 32:15
  Speaker 20: And yet these governments are trying to set these multilateral
• 32:19
  Speaker 20: forces to act as if they're paralleling our constitution. And
• 32:28
  Speaker 20: they're at a format where they're at a freedom to speak,
• 32:31
  Speaker 20: probably where they can't do it in their own country.
• 32:35
  Speaker 20: But if they go back to that country, they're going
• 32:37
  Speaker 20: to face the wrath of the speech that they had
• 32:41
  Speaker 20: at the UN. So there's all these contradictions. And there's
• 32:49
  Speaker 20: countries that still have slavery. And they're talking about you know, Palestine,
• 32:56
  Speaker 20: and they're talking about freedom for others, and they're murdering
• 33:00
  Speaker 20: their own people, and they're talking about other countries that
• 33:05
  Speaker 20: are saying that they're apartheid. And so it's just a
• 33:11
  Speaker 20: big mess to me. And I think the biggest thing
• 33:16
  Speaker 20: that's going to happen today, or when it happens, is
• 33:19
  Speaker 20: when President Trump gets on there and speaks. Because he's
• 33:25
  Speaker 20: a voice that has open thought, and a lot of
• 33:29
  Speaker 20: our own people within this country don't like his open thought,
• 33:32
  Speaker 20: but yet he's standing on the Constitution and trying to
• 33:35
  Speaker 20: distribute free thought.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a couple of things in what you said there.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Number one, they don't like Trump because Trump is pushing America.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: And the UN, and I don't think its original intent
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: was this, but It has become a lowest common denominator proprietor.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: We all have to live down to the median of
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: standards rather than elevate everyone else. They look at our
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: free speech. I mean, look at the reaction J.D. Vance
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: had when he called out Europe for their free speech abilities.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: And they didn't need to get outraged. All they had
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: to do is say, we don't believe in that here.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: They don't have the intestinal fortitude to say to their people,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: we don't believe in your right to speak freely. They
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: want to pretend like you have it, but within reason here.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: And so the UN has always been crippled by this
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: lowest common denominator. People, you've heard me talk about this before, Joel,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: because I've said it before. People talk about world governance,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the World Economic Forum and all these global governances and
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing. If somebody said, we're going to
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: govern the globe under the U.S. Constitution and the Bill
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: of Rights, we'll change a couple of words to make
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: it applicable across the globe.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: U.S.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Constitution, we will set up a government this way and
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: we will have councils this way. and you will all
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: send representatives this way, and the people will choose their representatives,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: and they will have these powers, and that this Bill
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: of Rights will apply to everyone on the planet Earth.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I'd be fine with a one-world government, as long as
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: it's that. Any other form of government I have no
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: time for because it's just authoritarianism. run amok. And the
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: problem with the UN is it has dragged us down
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: to the lowest common denominator. We look, you know, we
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: view our citizens the same way some of these European
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: countries do, as necessary evils, as tenant farmers in some
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: 15th century duchy. No, we are free people endowed by
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: our creator. We believe that. We want the rest of
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: the world to believe that. But unfortunately, because there's way
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: more of them and only one of us, we give
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: into it. That's why we've forgotten a lot of our
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: constitutional principles in this effort to be more like everyone else.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: It'd be like, you know, moving into a Christian neighborhood
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: and you're Jewish, and then all of a sudden you
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: stop going to temple and because you want to be
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: seen going to church on Sunday. So you just, you
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: give up who you are so that you can get
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: along with everyone else. I just don't see that as
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: an American thing. But it's part of what I think
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: gets people frustrated about the UN is it emasculates the
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: United States as well. It's a, sure, we love the U.S. money,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: but we sure hate having to listen to the U.S.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: go on about their, oh, their rights and, oh, their
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: freedoms and, oh, their, First off, I'd love the world
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: to live up to our Constitution, but right now our
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: bigger problem, Joel, is getting the United States to live
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: up to its Constitution.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: I agree with you.
• 37:15
  Speaker 20: And one thing I want to say real quick, and
• 37:17
  Speaker 20: then I'll get off. The thing I love about America
• 37:21
  Speaker 20: is the difference in dialectically the words that we make,
• 37:27
  Speaker 20: independent businesses, restaurants, food, like different places to visit, you know,
• 37:35
  Speaker 20: and that's what makes it, but when it changes to,
• 37:40
  Speaker 20: but when it changes and everything's supposed to look like
• 37:43
  Speaker 20: one thing, I mean, in the sense of keeping like
• 37:48
  Speaker 20: restaurants changing to one, then it really bothers me.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it should. It should bother everybody.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: All we say to America is be true to what
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: you said on paper.
• 38:03
  Speaker 12: Hi, I'm Mark Falter with the Financial Fitness Show. Have
• 38:07
  Speaker 12: you been keeping up on the Big Beautiful Bill? If
• 38:12
  Speaker 12: you are over the age of 60, everything you thought
• 38:16
  Speaker 12: you knew about taxes and tax preparation has just done
• 38:21
  Speaker 12: a big shift. So if you want to get more
• 38:24
  Speaker 12: information on how the Big Beautiful Bill applies to you,
• 38:30
  Speaker 12: I welcome you to call and ask for the Tax
• 38:33
  Speaker 12: Reform Kit. It's got several things in it pertaining to
• 38:36
  Speaker 12: your taxes. A booklet titled Take Charge of Your Taxes,
• 38:40
  Speaker 12: Tax Strategies, several things.
• 38:42
  Speaker 24: In it, 866-764-2635.
• 38:42
  Speaker 25: Again, 866-764-2635.
• 38:43
  Speaker 12: The Tax Reform Kit, again, 866-764-2635.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Again, 866-764-2635.
• 39:04
  Speaker 14: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:07
  Speaker 14: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13
  Speaker 14: I'm Dr.
• 39:14
  Speaker 15: Mitch.
• 39:15
  Speaker 14: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 39:20
  Speaker 14: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 39:24
  Speaker 14: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 39:29
  Speaker 14: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 39:33
  Speaker 14: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 39:39
  Speaker 14: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
• 39:44
  Speaker 14: least slow the spread of cancer and in many instances
• 39:47
  Speaker 14: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 39:52
  Speaker 14: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 39:58
  Speaker 14: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 40:02
  Speaker 24: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 40:06
  Speaker 24: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 40:10
  Speaker 24: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 40:13
  Speaker 24: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 40:17
  Speaker 24: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 40:21
  Speaker 24: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 40:26
  Speaker 24: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 40:29
  Speaker 24: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 40:33
  Speaker 24: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 40:38
  Speaker 24: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 40:43
  Speaker 24: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 40:46
  Speaker 24: enforcement arm the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
• 40:54
  Speaker 24: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 40:59
  Speaker 9: Hi, everybody.
• 40:59
  Speaker 26: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 41:01
  Speaker 26: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 41:05
  Speaker 26: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 41:06
  Speaker 26: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 41:09
  Speaker 26: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Who work hard to provide for their young.
• 41:14
  Speaker 26: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 41:18
  Speaker 26: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 41:21
  Speaker 26: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 41:23
  Speaker 26: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
• 41:26
  Speaker 26: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
• 41:29
  Speaker 26: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 41:32
  Speaker 26: they also perform life-saving work every day.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Dogs keep us.
• 41:35
  Speaker 26: Safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 41:38
  Speaker 26: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 41:41
  Speaker 26: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 41:44
  Speaker 26: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: And help those in need.
• 41:48
  Speaker 26: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 41:51
  Speaker 26: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 41:53
  Speaker 26: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 41:59
  Speaker 21: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah?
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 42:04
  Speaker 10: And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 21: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 10: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 42:15
  Speaker 21: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 42:18
  Speaker 21: somebody call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 13: Love that guy.
• 42:20
  Speaker 22: Me too.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 42:29
  Speaker 25: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 42:31
  Speaker 25: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 42:35
  Speaker 25: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 25: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:42
  Speaker 25: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 42:46
  Speaker 25: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 42:52
  Speaker 25: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 42:55
  Speaker 25: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 42:59
  Speaker 25: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 43:01
  Speaker 25: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 43:04
  Speaker 25: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 43:08
  Speaker 25: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 43:11
  Speaker 25: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 43:15
  Speaker 25: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

• 43:33
  Speaker 19: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 43:35
  Speaker 19: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 43:41
  Speaker 19: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.

• 44:11
  Speaker 2: First thing today by joe thomas on the talk media
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: network so.
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: So not to be.
• 44:24
  Speaker 19: Combative or intentionally debative, but Joel was somewhat.
• 44:32
  Speaker 9: I mean, just moderately.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: It is still summer.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Because there are the keyboard warriors that will be saying,
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas this morning said it was fall, and it
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: wasn't fall yet. Just because haters gotta hate. But 8.04 p.m.,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: just as I'm finishing tonight, we do an annual tradition. Although,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: because there's 20 years redacted from my career that I
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: can't mention, I guess technically it's only the third annual tradition.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: co-hosting of a telethon here in our flagship city for
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: the Salvation Army. And Salvation Army, what do you do?
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: And I do tons both in our flagship city and
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: the redacted city of my career because these are the
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: folks that are putting the work in. We talked yesterday
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: about mental health in regards to several stories over the
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: weekend of either suicide or consumption by drugs that have
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: led to deaths, which are, you know, I think in
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of ways, falling prey to a mental illness
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: as well, addiction. And believe me, I have, I have
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: an addictive personality. So you know it, you fight it.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: It's sort of like how I fight my sloth. Um,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: But the Salvation Army is unique, and it's because of
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: its mission, and its mission is to help you right yourself.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: It's not just a homeless shelter. It's not just a
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: soup kitchen. It's an organization that says, come in here.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: We'll get you centered again. We'll pray. You can sit
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: and just keep your eyes closed while we pray or not,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: but we're going to pray. We're going to talk about
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: right and wrong. We're going to talk about the rules
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: of society and the way you're supposed to behave and
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: principles that you can find pretty easy. We got a book.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: We have a rule book if you're looking for it.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: If you don't, they're not going to, but the Salvation
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Army puts the work in on healing the person rather
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: than just filling their belly. And so the The telethon
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: is 7 p.m. until 8 p.m. Last year we raised,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: I think we went over $ 200, 000 in a night. And
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: we do it for, it's an hour. We're on the
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: air for an hour and we raised $ 200, 000 last year
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: for the Salvation Army. So, you know, of course, you
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: know what goals wind up looking like. Oh, we're going
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: to have to do 250 or something this year. I
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: don't even know what the goal is. but we always
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: simulcast it on our flagship station. I co-host it with
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: our CBS affiliate here and my friend Dan Schutte. We've
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: been doing it for, gosh, like I said, there's this
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: 20-year period of my life that has been redacted by
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: court order, so there you are. But I distinctly remember it.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Your call, just as a tangent, random access memory here,
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: the eternal sunshine of a spotless mind It's an obscure,
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: I think, the kid from The Hobbit was in it
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: and Jim Carrey. And basically they've come up with technology
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: that you can zap memories from your mind. They go
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: in there and they target where the memories are and
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: they shoot little lasers at them and it's like playing
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: some video game. It was an interesting movie about pain
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: and and about how pain can often define you and
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: make you who you are and make you do good,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: it's not always a negative emotion. But I'm not supposed
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: to remember 20 years of my life unless I want
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: to get hauled back into court again. This is the
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: trouble with dismissed without prejudice. There's this thing hanging there.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: If they can ever scrape together the money for the lawyers,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll get a FedEx package. But We have
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: raised millions of dollars for our local branch of the
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Salvation Army, and you should look into them as well.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: We talk about all these issues with mental health. and
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: that's a place where you can do it. Email on
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: the subject of the royal presidency. We talked about this
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: is a tangent to the press corps story, that having
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: a dedicated White House press corps, it becomes easy to
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: for the newsrooms of America to just go live to
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: the White House. Johnny Apple, Johnny Adams Apple is standing
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: on the South Lawn ready to give us a live
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: report from today's. And it's so much much ado about nothing.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, it used to be if you had an actuality,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: which is a clip of a newsmaker during your news,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: it was the newsmaker, not somebody who saw the newsmaker.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: And then I'm going to I am live at the
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: White House doing what you're standing on a lawn. Can't
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: the guy at the desk read what you heard at
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: the White House press briefing? But Jerry. Listening to us
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: in Chicago on WCGO, and I appreciate that, Jerry, by
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: the way, Chicago is one of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra shows
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: that we're giving tickets away to go to Joe Thomas
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: in the morning. But let me get to Jerry's email.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: All of the Florida stations. We got, I think, two
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: shows in different spots in Florida. BGS, our station down
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: in St. Petersburg. And then we're not... Foy is next hour, right? 102.1
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: in St. Augustine. But Treasure Coast, WTTB. You guys get on.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: There are shows across Florida. JoeThomasInTheMorning.com. But Jerry's email.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Said, maybe it's what we want, Joe, if we keep
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: voting for more and more power into the White House
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: and less and less in Congress. Isn't that the will
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: of the people? Is it the will of the people, Jerry?
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: Think about the people you know who are frustrated with
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: your congressional representation. Are they frustrated because they've done the
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: wrong things or because they haven't done anything? And that's
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: the problem is that it's not that the president per
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: se has taken these powers from Congress. Congress has abdicated them.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: They're more than willing because half of Congress can use
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: the president as a punching bag because he's the enemy.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: And that goes whether it's a Democrat or a Republican.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: And the other side, well, honestly, they can do the
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: same thing. And they do. Build their gravitas by going
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: after the king. Meanwhile, the king's knights of the roundtable
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: go out amongst the society. This is what the Loper
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: decision was about in the Supreme Court, is that these
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: agencies were just getting a blank check.
• 52:29
  Speaker 24: Well.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: This bill, and this is where your congresspeople come in, Jerry.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: Congresspeople will say, I am going to clean up Lake Michigan,
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: and I'm tasking the EPA to do it. No specifics
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: on how that's going to work. He's just giving the
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: EPA a blank check to, quote, clean up the Chesapeake
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Bay or Lake Michigan or Lake America, you name it.
• 52:54
  Speaker 12: Hi, I'm Mark Falter with the Financial Fitness Show. Have
• 52:58
