- 0:41Speaker 2: Thank you for letting us be ourselves. No, hang on
- 0:45Speaker 2: a second. That's song lyrics. I want to thank you
- 0:48Speaker 2: for letting me be myself. Or however it's written out
- 0:53Speaker 2: phonetically there. Thank you for letting me be of service
- 0:56Speaker 2: to you this morning. Coming to you live at the
- 1:00Speaker 2: sponsorship of our friends from Big Ridge Guns and Archery.
- 1:04Speaker 2: and the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites from Shanksville, Pennsylvania,
- 1:08Speaker 2: in the Flight 93 Memorial. We're at the Visitor's Center here.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Sunrise is just starting to show some signs of life
- 1:18Speaker 2: over the eastern horizon there, so we'll get you full
- 1:22Speaker 2: coverage of everything going on here. We're going to visit
- 1:25Speaker 2: with the park chief, who's got some great things planned there.
- 1:30Speaker 2: We've got folks on the phone at 434-434.
- 1:34Speaker 9: 882-4217.
- 1:35Speaker 2: So before we get to you, how about we get
- 1:38Speaker 2: our first things out there so that everyone knows what
- 1:40Speaker 2: the heck I'm talking about this morning, and then we'll
- 1:44Speaker 2: get to you on the phones. President Trump, you heard
- 1:47Speaker 2: the clip there, addressing the midterm convention, a new idea,
- 1:53Speaker 2: said that it's been the most successful two years financially
- 1:57Speaker 2: and every other way in the history of the presidency.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Together we will turn a two-year comeback into a 250-year lead,
- 2:05Speaker 2: he told the crowd. Meanwhile, one of the U.S. senators
- 2:10Speaker 2: from where we stand right now, John Fetterman, addressed the
- 2:16Speaker 2: convention by video from western Pennsylvania. Coincidentally, rumors have it
- 2:21Speaker 2: he will be one of the folks speaking here in
- 2:23Speaker 2: Shanksville tomorrow. He said, yes, I'm a Democrat. Why am
- 2:26Speaker 2: I here talking with you today? Because, well, I'm a
- 2:29Speaker 2: common-sense Democrat. Before he headed to Dallas, President Trump did
- 2:36Speaker 2: say that it seems like oil prices will not be
- 2:38Speaker 2: coming down before the midterm elections. Right after the election,
- 2:44Speaker 2: oil prices are going to be tumbling downward, Trump said.
- 2:48Speaker 2: I think it's going to take a little bit longer
- 2:49Speaker 2: than the midterm. The administration proposed changing the national census
- 2:56Speaker 2: to include only US citizens and permanent residents, a move
- 2:59Speaker 2: that could change how much political power cities and states
- 3:03Speaker 2: with non-citizens have. President Trump also announced that he had
- 3:08Speaker 2: a phone conversation with Vladimir Putin, president of Russia. We
- 3:12Speaker 2: had a great conversation. He told reporters he wants to
- 3:15Speaker 2: make a deal with Zelensky. If Zelensky is willing to
- 3:18Speaker 2: make the deal, that would be very nice. This after
- 3:22Speaker 2: Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff visited with both men over
- 3:26Speaker 2: the weekend. The Energy Department's statistical arm has raised the
- 3:31Speaker 2: forecast on how much U.S. diesel will cost next year,
- 3:36Speaker 2: including inventories depleted. Do we know if they did this
- 3:41Speaker 2: before the Venezuela deal or what? Anyway, they say it
- 3:45Speaker 2: could average $ 4. 40 a gallon for 2027. And of course,
- 3:47Speaker 2: today is the one-year anniversary of the assassination of founder
- 3:58Speaker 2: of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk. At a speech he
- 4:02Speaker 2: was giving in Utah, the trial continues, but many stop
- 4:07Speaker 2: to remember political assassinations here on First Thing Today. First
- 4:15Speaker 2: Thing Today coming to you live from the Flight 93
- 4:19Speaker 2: Memorial here in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Today and tomorrow, special coverage
- 4:23Speaker 2: of the 25th anniversary of of the terror attacks on
- 4:27Speaker 2: our nation in 2001. All this coverage brought to you
- 4:30Speaker 2: by Big Ridge Guns and Archery. You'll hear from Jim Wood,
- 4:35Speaker 2: the owner of Big Ridge Guns, about seeing something and
- 4:38Speaker 2: doing something in a little while, and our friends from
- 4:41Speaker 2: the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites.
- 4:44Speaker 8: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
- 4:47Speaker 8: the American story. But not every site is telling that
- 4:51Speaker 8: story honestly and fairly. That's why the Heritage Foundation created
- 4:55Speaker 8: the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips
- 4:59Speaker 8: American citizens with the tools they need to enjoy the
- 5:03Speaker 8: sites that depict some of the greatest moments in our
- 5:05Speaker 8: nation's history, analyzing them for historical accuracy, and provides resources
- 5:11Speaker 8: for families or educators planning a visit. It currently covers
- 5:15Speaker 8: over 45 sites in the 13 original colonies. but sites
- 5:19Speaker 8: from all 50 states will be added in time for
- 5:22Speaker 8: citizens to celebrate America 250 this summer. From Mount Vernon
- 5:26Speaker 8: to Independence Hall to Gettysburg and more, Americans deserve transparency
- 5:31Speaker 8: and sites that steward our history faithfully deserve our gratitude.
- 5:36Speaker 8: The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites invites every American to
- 5:40Speaker 8: rediscover the places and stories that define our nation, whether
- 5:44Speaker 8: it's across the country or in your backyard. Visit historicsites.heritage.org
- 5:49Speaker 8: to start your adventure today.
- 5:52Speaker 2: And our adventures continue across the Fruited Plain here in Pennsylvania.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Joel is on the line with us at 434-882-4217. You
- 5:58Speaker 2: can text message that line. or you can call it
- 6:04Speaker 2: like Joel has. Good morning, Joel. What's going on?
- 6:07Speaker 11: Good morning, Joe. I'm so glad you're out there in
- 6:12Speaker 11: memoriam for 9-11 and for also speaking about Charlie Kirk.
- 6:20Speaker 11: I wanted to say this. There was somebody that said,
- 6:24Speaker 11: I am the way and the truth and the life,
- 6:26Speaker 11: and that's John 14-6. And that's the way I think
- 6:33Speaker 11: Charlie Kirk lived, he and his family and his wife, Erica.
- 6:37Speaker 11: And he woke up every day trying to do the
- 6:41Speaker 11: Socratic method on asking people questions about life and such
- 6:47Speaker 11: a knowledgeable person. And when, as you said, when he,
- 6:51Speaker 11: when you had him on the 12 o'clock hour and
- 6:56Speaker 11: people were like, who is this guy?
- 6:57Speaker 2: Yeah. And that's always the question.
- 7:02Speaker 10: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 7:07Speaker 10: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch. And nitric
- 7:12Speaker 10: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 7:17Speaker 10: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 7:22Speaker 10: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
- 7:27Speaker 10: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 7:31Speaker 10: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 7:35Speaker 10: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

- 9:33Speaker 13: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
- 9:37Speaker 13: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
- 9:41Speaker 13: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
- 9:44Speaker 13: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
- 9:49Speaker 13: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
- 9:53Speaker 13: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
- 9:56Speaker 13: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
- 10:00Speaker 13: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

- 10:05Speaker 13: Susan Rehm of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. When
- 10:08Speaker 13: I speak with my patients, I urge them to get
- 10:10Speaker 13: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
- 10:14Speaker 13: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
- 10:17Speaker 13: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
- 10:20Speaker 13: adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,

- 11:09Speaker 17: The way they speak?
- 11:11Speaker 9: Would you notice the 16-year-old boy who got his first job?
- 11:15Speaker 6: Not for extra spending money, but to help feed his
- 11:17Speaker 6: little sisters.
- 11:19Speaker 9: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes

- 13:18Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
- 13:34Speaker 2: We're here live. at the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
- 13:43Speaker 2: And we're here for the 25th anniversary, but Joel on
- 13:47Speaker 2: the phone with us as we headed into break there,
- 13:50Speaker 2: talking about Charlie Kirk and the one year anniversary of
- 13:55Speaker 2: his assassination as well. And believe me, the assassinations that
- 14:01Speaker 2: happened on September 11th are tied in to this. And,
- 14:08Speaker 2: you know, as I told you at the onset, I mean,
- 14:11Speaker 2: I take the Charlie Kirk story kind of personally because
- 14:14Speaker 2: it was my efforts that really started to bring him.
- 14:18Speaker 2: He had been sending his show out to some satellite receivers,
- 14:24Speaker 2: but he hadn't really made a footprint in this industry
- 14:28Speaker 2: in talk radio. But I fought for him, and I
- 14:32Speaker 2: got him onto our stations. He was very early into
- 14:35Speaker 2: his syndication. And this was my point. I didn't even
- 14:40Speaker 2: particularly care how great of a talk show host he
- 14:43Speaker 2: would be. I knew he was a good conversationalist. I
- 14:47Speaker 2: knew he could talk to people. So the rest, you know,
- 14:50Speaker 2: we can teach you how to read a clock. But
- 14:54Speaker 2: beyond that, I said, you know, here's a guy who
- 14:59Speaker 2: created a movement. How do you not acknowledge this? I mean,
- 15:02Speaker 2: we already were, you know, working on Turning Point USA
- 15:06Speaker 2: chapters in Virginia. We have one now, George Mason University,
- 15:11Speaker 2: James Madison University. Of course, he was on his way. And,
- 15:15Speaker 2: you know, somebody asked me, you know, if there are,
- 15:17Speaker 2: you know, any, you know, sadness. I said, well, you know,
- 15:20Speaker 2: there's always the sadness that a life ended sooner than
- 15:23Speaker 2: I wanted it to. But that's not my choice. I
- 15:25Speaker 2: don't get to choose when we come and go. But
- 15:28Speaker 2: we had worked on that Turning Point USA event at
- 15:32Speaker 2: Virginia Tech University that was the first one after his
- 15:36Speaker 2: assassination that was incredible. We had worked very hard at
- 15:41Speaker 2: the station that has been redacted from my life and
- 15:45Speaker 2: the group there to bring him down there because he
- 15:47Speaker 2: was on our affiliate, our co-owned station down in Blacksburg.
- 15:52Speaker 2: So there's a lot going on in the Charlie Kirk
- 15:56Speaker 2: story But the most important thing is that it's– I
- 16:00Speaker 2: connected it, Joel, and your thought on this, to the
- 16:03Speaker 2: idea of political assassination. It's I can't get you to
- 16:08Speaker 2: agree with me, so I'm just going to kill you. And,
- 16:11Speaker 2: you know, I think it begins September 11th, but it
- 16:13Speaker 2: continues through the Charlie Kirk assassination. What do you think?
- 16:18Speaker 11: I agree with you. And the biggest thing is people
- 16:22Speaker 11: can hear things, but when you actually listen– then that
- 16:26Speaker 11: message gets through. And I think the message got through
- 16:30Speaker 11: because a lot of people don't like to hear the truth.
- 16:33Speaker 11: And I'm not saying that Charlie Kirk was Jesus, but
- 16:38Speaker 11: he was trying to proclaim the message of Jesus. And
- 16:41Speaker 11: that I think is what is lacking with, I mean,
- 16:44Speaker 11: I have to, I have to go back in my
- 16:46Speaker 11: faith every day because I'm struggling with a lot of things.
- 16:50Speaker 11: I mean, I was twice, I'm twice. No, it's not
- 16:52Speaker 11: about me. It's about everybody in this country. And this
- 16:57Speaker 11: country was founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs.
- 17:00Speaker 2: Well, and Joel, you know, and I appreciate it. And
- 17:03Speaker 2: you're part of it. And I know that there's the theology,
- 17:05Speaker 2: because Charlie Kirk was unabashed in his faith, and he
- 17:10Speaker 2: proclaimed it freely and openly. But one of the things
- 17:14Speaker 2: he would do is he would bring leaders in other
- 17:17Speaker 2: faiths onto his program or into his podcasts, specifically to
- 17:23Speaker 2: see where You know, where they were and what they
- 17:27Speaker 2: were doing is out of just curiosity. Because remember, when
- 17:35Speaker 2: Jesus ministered to the world, it's not like Jesus arrived
- 17:39Speaker 2: and everyone became Christian. And we forget this part of
- 17:43Speaker 2: the process of going from town to town on foot.
- 17:51Speaker 2: ministering to people, talking to people. And then after the crucifixion,
- 17:57Speaker 2: people who were showed very clearly what the Romans were
- 18:02Speaker 2: going to do to you if you kept proclaiming this
- 18:05Speaker 2: Jesus fella. All the way up to throwing you into
- 18:11Speaker 2: an arena with hungry lions. But it was person to person.
- 18:20Speaker 2: It was mano y mano. That's how it was done,
- 18:25Speaker 2: and that's how it still has to be done. You
- 18:28Speaker 2: and me, we're having a conversation here. And Joel, I
- 18:31Speaker 2: appreciate it. Joel was having the conversation with you. I'm
- 18:37Speaker 2: trying to tell you what's going on here in Shanksville.
- 18:39Speaker 2: The sun is coming up and orientating us to where
- 18:43Speaker 2: I was 25 years ago, and now I see we're
- 18:46Speaker 2: right up behind the wall of names. which follows the
- 18:51Speaker 2: track of the flight into the woods here. And it's
- 18:56Speaker 2: an old strip mine. It was derelict for some time.
- 19:03Speaker 2: But the story is an individual story.
- 19:10Speaker 20: It's courage.
- 19:11Speaker 2: It's doing the right thing, even despite the fact that
- 19:16Speaker 2: it might come with cost. What is the cost of
- 19:20Speaker 2: doing the right thing? What is the cost of doing
- 19:23Speaker 2: the wrong thing? And what Lucifer, and as I said,
- 19:28Speaker 2: we've sort of entered this world where Lucifer has been
- 19:32Speaker 2: able to get a rewrite into his history. Can I
- 19:36Speaker 2: just do a little bit here as the sun is rising?
- 19:38Speaker 2: I'm walking out, and yeah, now I see where we
- 19:42Speaker 2: are in relation to where the plane crash happened. here
- 19:47Speaker 2: in Shanksville, and we're, yeah, maybe you were. a quarter
- 19:50Speaker 2: of a mile from where we were 20 years ago
- 19:53Speaker 2: which was just a field but this it's an old
- 19:55Speaker 2: strip mine just a bowl on the side you know
- 19:59Speaker 2: in amongst a million other former mining locations in Pennsylvania
- 20:04Speaker 2: in western Pennsylvania and just on the other side of
- 20:09Speaker 2: the Ridge from it is an elementary school. Do you
- 20:13Speaker 2: ever hear that on any of the news coverage? That
- 20:16Speaker 2: if divine intervention didn't have the passengers and the stewardesses
- 20:25Speaker 2: of Flight 93 assault, when they did, if they waited
- 20:29Speaker 2: 30 more seconds, look at what the crash of the
- 20:36Speaker 2: Amazon Prime plane, What 30 seconds can do. If they
- 20:41Speaker 2: debated for 30 more seconds before they did what they did.
- 20:46Speaker 2: That plane crashes, yes. It doesn't land in the Capitol
- 20:51Speaker 2: building or the White House, wherever it was headed. But
- 20:54Speaker 2: it lands on an elementary school full of kids. It
- 20:57Speaker 2: was 945 or so. And think about how redoubly horrific
- 21:07Speaker 2: that would have been. So somewhere, somebody said, now, go now.
- 21:12Speaker 2: And they went now, saving hundreds and hundreds of children's lives.
- 21:21Speaker 2: And if you don't see the divine in that, then
- 21:25Speaker 2: you don't understand how your decision-making process works. And this
- 21:32Speaker 2: was one of the things that Charlie Kirk talked about,
- 21:34Speaker 2: is that In order to proclaim truth, and I'm not
- 21:39Speaker 2: talking about who you go to church with or anything
- 21:41Speaker 2: like that. I'm talking about who manipulates you, who is
- 21:45Speaker 2: trying to get you to do the things they want
- 21:47Speaker 2: you to do. Well, that requires an individual conversation. That's

- 23:10Speaker 5: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
- 23:14Speaker 5: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
- 23:17Speaker 5: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
- 23:21Speaker 5: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
- 23:23Speaker 5: the rule. Many high-end or luxury vehicles call for premium
- 23:26Speaker 5: or higher octane fuel. And the reason for this is
- 23:29Speaker 5: not just due to the octane rating. There are better
- 23:31Speaker 5: fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know, too,
- 23:35Speaker 5: that vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
- 23:38Speaker 5: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
- 23:41Speaker 5: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
- 23:44Speaker 5: your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful, you may
- 23:47Speaker 5: find better performance and miles per gallon because you are
- 23:50Speaker 5: cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive. Just
- 23:53Speaker 5: don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them anytime soon.
- 23:56Speaker 5: With your automotive prescription, I'm Ron Anany and the Car Doctor.

- 28:12Speaker 3: News and analysis, now without artificial colors. First thing today,
- 28:17Speaker 3: by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 28:20Speaker 2: Party people!
- 28:20Speaker 13: Yeah!
- 28:27Speaker 2: Yeah, the party people gathering in Dallas here live for you.
- 28:32Speaker 2: And just a side note, this is for fun, nothing else,
- 28:36Speaker 2: but I received, I did a quick check, 17 different
- 28:44Speaker 2: invitations with varying degrees. And if you want something, just
- 28:50Speaker 2: say no. Say no a bunch of times, and people
- 28:53Speaker 2: will just keep upping the ante. Do you want a suite?
- 28:58Speaker 2: We'll give you a spot. We'll give you a live feed.
- 29:02Speaker 2: What do you want? Come down to Dallas. Come down
- 29:04Speaker 2: to Dallas, Joe. Come down to Dallas and cover the RNC.
- 29:07Speaker 2: And I'm not saying they were desperate. They were just
- 29:09Speaker 2: trying to make sure that the media coverage was there
- 29:12Speaker 2: because it was a new thing. And that's fair, infer
- 29:15Speaker 2: what you will. But they were trying desperately to get
- 29:17Speaker 2: shows like this one to come down to Dallas to
- 29:20Speaker 2: cover the RNC convention. And, I mean, if it wasn't
- 29:26Speaker 2: on September 9th and 10th, we had already started this
- 29:31Speaker 2: because I remembered– In 2006, when we were here for
- 29:37Speaker 2: the fifth anniversary, how long of a process it was
- 29:40Speaker 2: to get approval from the state parks people. And you're
- 29:45Speaker 2: dealing with a bureaucracy that is built off of wait,
- 29:50Speaker 2: then hurry up. And so we had to get our
- 29:53Speaker 2: bids in to broadcast from here. months and months and
- 29:58Speaker 2: months before President Trump ever announced that the RNC would
- 30:01Speaker 2: be holding a midterm primary. So sorry, guys. Sorry, not sorry.
- 30:06Speaker 2: We were already committed to being here. And we drove
- 30:10Speaker 2: up yesterday and we're here in Shanksville. The sun is rising.
- 30:15Speaker 2: It's a misty morning as you can, you know, the
- 30:20Speaker 2: wall of names right behind us here at the visitor
- 30:23Speaker 2: center and it tracks down to the crash site. which
- 30:26Speaker 2: is commemorated with a boulder right at the tree line,
- 30:30Speaker 2: because you really can't tell anymore because, well, it's trees.
- 30:33Speaker 2: They grow back. So there's commemorations, and there's a walking trail.
- 30:39Speaker 2: We're going to talk with Stephen Clark, who is the
- 30:43Speaker 2: park ranger. No, there's lots of park rangers. Get my
- 30:48Speaker 2: picnic basket. I'm sorry, I can't say Park Ranger without
- 30:52Speaker 2: thinking of Yogi and Boo Boo. I'm sorry, just call
- 30:55Speaker 2: me a name if you must. But I want to
- 30:58Speaker 2: spend a moment or two on this RNC convention. And
- 31:00Speaker 2: my guy, you know, and you remember 2009 or so,
- 31:07Speaker 2: around the country, billboards stopped popping up, started popping up
- 31:13Speaker 2: on highways. 2010, certainly I think some of the Tea
- 31:16Speaker 2: Party groups were putting up these billboards with George Bush,
- 31:20Speaker 2: George W. Bush on them, and the slogan, Miss me yet? Well,
- 31:26Speaker 2: in Virginia, our flagship state, boy, we miss this fellow,
- 31:29Speaker 2: but he was on Fox Live from the convention talking about,
- 31:34Speaker 2: I think, a guy that I think they're spending too
- 31:37Speaker 2: much time on. I wish they wouldn't spend so much
- 31:41Speaker 2: time on James Tallarico, but Governor Youngkin made a great
- 31:45Speaker 2: point about Democrat candidates for office writ large.
- 31:54Speaker 16: Listen, this is representative of what we've seen from so
- 31:57Speaker 16: many Democrat candidates. They're working so hard to convince people
- 32:01Speaker 16: they're moderate and they're not. There are no moderate Democrats
- 32:05Speaker 16: left today. We saw it in Virginia that as soon
- 32:08Speaker 16: as Abigail Spanberger won and started to actually govern, she
- 32:12Speaker 16: moved far left and violated a lot of the promises
- 32:15Speaker 16: that she had made while she was campaigning. So all
- 32:18Speaker 16: he's trying to do is convince people that he believes
- 32:20Speaker 16: something that he doesn't believe. He is a far left
- 32:23Speaker 16: liberal candidate and Texans are going to figure this out
- 32:26Speaker 16: and they're going to make sure that they have someone
- 32:28Speaker 16: who represents Texas in the Senate and not Tallarico.
- 32:32Speaker 2: You know, but as I said, and you tell me
- 32:34Speaker 2: if I'm wrong at 434-882-4217, the phone line we keep
- 32:39Speaker 2: open because of the news of the day obviously has
- 32:41Speaker 2: impact on you. So I want to know how that
- 32:44Speaker 2: rolls for you. But I think they're spending too much
- 32:48Speaker 2: time on this guy. I think that This is exactly
- 32:54Speaker 2: what Tallarico's campaign wants, is they want everyone, you know,
- 32:59Speaker 2: what's the expression? Keep his name out your mouth is
- 33:03Speaker 2: what you should be doing, and just talk about your accomplishments.
- 33:06Speaker 2: It's one of the things that I think Americans grow
- 33:08Speaker 2: weary of the campaign world anyway, is that we're spending
- 33:13Speaker 2: too much time talking about the other guy. Tell me
- 33:16Speaker 2: what you're going to do. He's in trouble with telling
- 33:20Speaker 2: me what you're going to do is, then you actually
- 33:23Speaker 2: have to live up to it. But a beautiful morning.
- 33:25Speaker 2: I'm walking out here away from my broadcast desk here
- 33:29Speaker 2: in a little bit, and it's just a stunning morning.
- 33:32Speaker 2: We're going to try to get out, and we have
- 33:35Speaker 2: the cordless ready. But I want to get out and
- 33:40Speaker 2: get at least some photographs. I think some have already
- 33:42Speaker 2: been posted on our social media here in Shanksville. But
- 33:47Speaker 2: the extremists, Governor Youngkin talking about the extremes, And how
- 33:52Speaker 2: these politicians are now really violating everything they stood for
- 34:00Speaker 2: by telling extreme stories. They want most people, they want
- 34:05Speaker 2: the press to call them moderates, middle of the road, whatever,
- 34:08Speaker 2: because that's where most of us are. How many times
- 34:12Speaker 2: have I told you that? That 75 to 85% of
- 34:16Speaker 2: America agrees about everything. We don't need, but you can't
- 34:21Speaker 2: win a campaign.
- 34:21Speaker 20: Saying, yeah, we're going to just protect your rights and
- 34:26Speaker 20: make sure that nobody takes your stuff. That just, we've
- 34:31Speaker 20: lost the ability to get fired up over just protect
- 34:35Speaker 20: our rights. I remember the old days of the taxed
- 34:39Speaker 20: enough already parties.
- 34:41Speaker 2: And by the way, that's what T stood for. For
- 34:45Speaker 2: those who don't know, T was an acronym. And I
- 34:48Speaker 2: say it that way because a lot of people think
- 34:50Speaker 2: Tea Party meant we just wanted to reenact the Boston
- 34:53Speaker 2: Tea Party. That was a media construct. That was Anderson
- 34:57Speaker 2: Cooper telling us disgusting things about his sex life. That
- 35:01Speaker 2: was cartoons drawn in the New York Times of tea
- 35:07Speaker 2: partiers that we were all. some bug-eyed crazies who wanted
- 35:12Speaker 2: to reenact the Boston Tea Party. And it was successful because,
- 35:21Speaker 2: you know what? It made people not want to join
- 35:24Speaker 2: our group, which was simply on the idea of taxed
- 35:28Speaker 2: enough already. You've got billions of dollars. The column I
- 35:33Speaker 2: just wrote for DailySignal.com about the sales taxes they want
- 35:37Speaker 2: to enact here in our flagship state of Virginia. Local
- 35:40Speaker 2: sales taxes, local governments able to pile sales taxes on
- 35:44Speaker 2: just because they get the giggles out of it because
- 35:47Speaker 2: it's more money. And the punchline of the article is
- 35:50Speaker 2: how large Virginia's tax collections are. Just like your state's
- 35:54Speaker 2: tax collection, billions of dollars in taxes collected. Why do
- 35:59Speaker 2: you need to pass another tax to build schools? Next
- 36:04Speaker 2: thing you know, you're going to say, hey, we want
- 36:06Speaker 2: to have a local sales tax to pay the police.
- 36:10Speaker 2: Or raise money for the sheriff's department. Guys, at what
- 36:18Speaker 2: point had you stopped being responsible for that?
- 36:20Speaker 20: We're going to have a special tax for your water system.
- 36:24Speaker 2: Hey, didn't we all vote to agree to let you
- 36:27Speaker 2: do that? When did that stop being your responsibility out
- 36:32Speaker 2: of the tax money we've already given you? And that's
- 36:35Speaker 2: the problem with politicians right now is there's no fire
- 36:40Speaker 2: right now for people to just get up on the
- 36:43Speaker 2: podium and say, yeah, if you're like me, we're going
- 36:45Speaker 2: to just protect your rights and make sure that anyone
- 36:48Speaker 2: who violates your rights goes to jail. Thank you very much.
- 36:50Speaker 2: Vote for me. I think that would be a winning campaign, though.
- 36:58Speaker 2: I think the majority of Americans, Democrats and Republicans, would
- 37:02Speaker 2: be fine with that. The problem is guys like Tallarico
- 37:06Speaker 2: and Perriello and all the other LOs are out there
- 37:13Speaker 2: trying to invent rights, invent entitlements, and call them rights.
- 37:24Speaker 2: And so when they go radical, it pushes the Republicans
- 37:28Speaker 2: to go radical, farther to the right, farther to calling
- 37:32Speaker 2: them out. And President Trump does that daily. And what
- 37:39Speaker 2: it does at the end of the day, it succeeds
- 37:43Speaker 2: to divide us even more. I was wearing a Youngkin
- 37:47Speaker 2: t-shirt when I checked into the hotel last night here
- 37:50Speaker 2: in Shanksville or Somerset, Pennsylvania, and a guy gave me
- 37:54Speaker 2: a cross-eyed look about it. Obviously not a Republican. Oops.
- 38:01Speaker 25: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting,
- 38:05Speaker 25: and destruction, Some areas are considering either defunding or.
- 38:09Speaker 2: Abolishing the police.
- 38:11Speaker 25: At a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of
- 38:14Speaker 25: police the most, some elected officials would rather create more
- 38:17Speaker 25: chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of elected officials
- 38:21Speaker 25: caving in to demands of the radical left, you're not alone.
- 38:25Speaker 25: It's time we stand up and declare our support for
- 38:28Speaker 25: local police. The majority of police officers are important partners
- 38:32Speaker 25: in protecting our God-given rights. If you prefer freedom over chaos,

- 39:04Speaker 10: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 39:08Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 39:13Speaker 10: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 39:19Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 39:23Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 39:27Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 39:32Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 39:37Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
- 39:43Speaker 10: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
- 39:46Speaker 10: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
- 39:51Speaker 10: cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to

- 40:59Speaker 2: Hi, everybody.
- 40:59Speaker 1: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
- 41:02Speaker 1: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 41:05Speaker 1: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 41:07Speaker 1: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 41:09Speaker 1: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes.
- 41:13Speaker 2: Who work hard to provide for their young.
- 41:15Speaker 1: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
- 41:18Speaker 1: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
- 41:21Speaker 1: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
- 41:23Speaker 1: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
- 41:26Speaker 1: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
- 41:29Speaker 1: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 41:32Speaker 1: they also perform lifesaving work every day. Dogs keep us
- 41:35Speaker 1: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
- 41:38Speaker 1: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
- 41:41Speaker 1: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
- 41:44Speaker 1: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
- 41:47Speaker 1: and help those in need. So please join me and
- 41:49Speaker 1: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
- 41:52Speaker 1: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go

- 42:13Speaker 4: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
- 42:16Speaker 4: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
- 42:18Speaker 4: call me a ride.
- 42:20Speaker 18: Love that guy.
- 42:21Speaker 13: Me too.
- 42:21Speaker 6: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 42:24Speaker 6: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

- 44:12Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:17Speaker 16: I know I said I know you. I know you
- 44:22Speaker 16: know it's true.
- 44:24Speaker 17: I've got to put the phone down.
- 44:26Speaker 2: And do what we gotta do.
- 44:29Speaker 8: One's standing in the highway, two.
- 44:32Speaker 12: More at the door.
- 44:33Speaker 2: We've got to get inside there before they kill someone.
- 44:39Speaker 17: Time to hide.
- 44:47Speaker 2: Coming to you live from the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville,
- 44:52Speaker 2: brought to you by Big Ridge Guns and Archery and
- 44:55Speaker 2: the Heritage Guide to Historical Sites. Stephen Clark is the
- 45:00Speaker 2: chief ranger here at the Flight 93 Memorial, as he
- 45:05Speaker 2: is also over four other sites in western Pennsylvania. But Stephen,
- 45:10Speaker 2: thank you for allowing us here and The beauty, now
- 45:13Speaker 2: that the sun is rising, of this facility is just
- 45:18Speaker 2: stunning and I think imminently poetic to what went on
- 45:26Speaker 2: here 25 years ago tomorrow.
- 45:30Speaker 23: Joe, you're 100% right. When you look back on 9-11,
- 45:36Speaker 23: I was working as the chief ranger in the U.S.
- 45:39Speaker 7: Virgin Islands at a national park there.
- 45:42Speaker 23: And I remember it as if it were yesterday, you know,
- 45:44Speaker 23: and that first plane went in at 846. You know,
- 45:48Speaker 23: I think all of us who have that memory can recall, okay,
- 45:53Speaker 23: maybe it was some type of a medical emergency with
- 45:57Speaker 23: a pilot on the Hudson or whatever it is and
- 45:59Speaker 23: veered off. But when that second plane hit that second
- 46:02Speaker 23: tower at 903, we all knew.
- 46:04Speaker 7: This was no accident.
- 46:06Speaker 23: And if I may just kind of share with your listeners,
- 46:10Speaker 23: at that point, Flight 93 had taken off from Newark
- 46:15Speaker 23: Airport at 8.42. And so, as I mentioned, at 8.46,
- 46:20Speaker 23: just four minutes after takeoff, and Flight 93 was literally
- 46:24Speaker 23: taking off due north. And both Jason Dahl, the pilot,
- 46:28Speaker 23: the captain, and Leroy Homer, the first officer, they were
- 46:31Speaker 23: looking straight at.
- 46:32Speaker 7: Those two towers.
- 46:33Speaker 23: But then they veered west. Yeah, it's incredible. And then,
- 46:37Speaker 23: of course, they veered west. to go out to their destination,
- 46:40Speaker 23: that being San Francisco. So again, the first plane at 846,
- 46:45Speaker 23: the second plane at 903, and then the four terrorists
- 46:49Speaker 23: all seated in first class at 928 took over control
- 46:54Speaker 23: of that airplane and in essence murdered the pilots. It's
- 47:00Speaker 23: believed also they murdered a flight attendant as well as
- 47:03Speaker 23: a first class passenger. And then the terrorist pilot got
- 47:09Speaker 23: control of the aircraft, and he got on the microphone,
- 47:11Speaker 23: and he said, we're going back to the airport.
- 47:14Speaker 7: They met our demands. Go to the back of the plane.
- 47:16Speaker 23: And so if we can just envision you being one
- 47:20Speaker 23: of those individuals, so now you're at the back of
- 47:22Speaker 23: the plane. And what's so remarkable about these 40 heroes, Joe,
- 47:27Speaker 23: and I don't use that term lightly. But these individuals
- 47:31Speaker 23: truly did understand exactly what was happening in the moment.
- 47:36Speaker 23: And then they started to make phone calls. So 13
- 47:40Speaker 23: people made a total of 37 phone calls to ascertain
- 47:45Speaker 23: in real time what was happening. And they were able
- 47:48Speaker 23: to give information to loved ones as well as 911
- 47:52Speaker 23: operators about what they were witnessing in the back of
- 47:55Speaker 23: that plane. with the Al Qaeda terrorists in first class
- 47:58Speaker 23: and the two in the cockpit. But then, Joe, when
- 48:01Speaker 23: they learned in real time that American Airlines Flight 77
- 48:07Speaker 23: struck the Pentagon, again, at that 937 timeframe, that's when
- 48:12Speaker 23: they looked at each other, complete strangers, virtual strangers, and
- 48:16Speaker 23: they said, we're not going back to any airport.
- 48:18Speaker 7: And they did what some people take for granted. They
- 48:22Speaker 7: took a vote.
- 48:23Speaker 23: They literally took a vote and said, we have to
- 48:25Speaker 23: do something. We're not going back to any airport. And
- 48:28Speaker 23: that's exactly what they did. And so they came together,
- 48:32Speaker 23: flight attendants boiling water to throw in pitchers, to throw
- 48:35Speaker 23: at the terrorists as they knew they were going to
- 48:37Speaker 23: go up through that center aisle or using seat cushions
- 48:41Speaker 23: as shields and so forth. And, you know, Todd Beamer.
- 48:47Speaker 23: was speaking with Lisa Jefferson. He elected to call 911
- 48:50Speaker 23: and got an air phone operator in Chicago, Lisa Jefferson.
- 48:54Speaker 23: So Todd's talking to Lisa, tell my wife.
- 48:57Speaker 7: That I love her. Can you say the Lord's prayer?
- 49:00Speaker 7: They did.
- 49:02Speaker 23: And then finally at 9.57, he said, I gotta go,
- 49:06Speaker 23: we're getting ready to do something. And she goes, Todd,
- 49:09Speaker 23: don't hang up. And he placed the phone down on
- 49:11Speaker 23: the seat cushion. And that's when she literally heard him say, okay,
- 49:15Speaker 23: is everybody ready?
- 49:17Speaker 7: Let's roll.
- 49:17Speaker 23: And again, yeah, yeah, that was at 9.57, not by
- 49:23Speaker 23: Navy SEALs or Army Rangers or SWAT team, just regular
- 49:27Speaker 23: people like you and me just going to work, going
- 49:29Speaker 23: to a meeting, going to hike out Yosemite. And for
- 49:33Speaker 23: the next six minutes between 9.57 and 10.03 when Flight
- 49:35Speaker 23: 93 crashed, It was really the first counter-assault on terrorism
- 49:42Speaker 23: by civilians.
- 49:43Speaker 26: This is true.
- 49:45Speaker 23: It is, and I think that's why you and so
- 49:48Speaker 23: many around the world look at these people on this
- 49:51Speaker 23: plane as saving countless lives because it was but 18
- 49:55Speaker 23: minutes flying time from Washington, D.C., it's likely target the
- 50:00Speaker 23: United States Capitol building, the Dome. And both the House
- 50:05Speaker 23: and the Senate were there, roughly 4,500 employees, thousands of
- 50:09Speaker 23: visitors on a beautiful Tuesday morning. So, Joe, and I
- 50:14Speaker 23: also want to make sure that it's not as if
- 50:17Speaker 23: the people on the other three planes didn't have the
- 50:20Speaker 23: courage to act.
- 50:21Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 50:22Speaker 7: Sir, they just didn't have the time.
- 50:26Speaker 23: And these individuals on 93, 33 passengers, five flight attendants
- 50:31Speaker 23: and two pilots, they did. And yet they said, I'm
- 50:36Speaker 23: not going to leave my life to fate by these individuals,
- 50:41Speaker 23: these terrorists.
- 50:42Speaker 7: And they tried to fight back and go.
- 50:44Speaker 23: Home at the end of the day and hug their
- 50:46Speaker 23: kids and and be with their families. So that's what
- 50:50Speaker 23: makes this story so extraordinary.
- 50:52Speaker 2: Steve Clark is on with us. He is the chief
- 50:56Speaker 2: ranger for the Flight 93 Memorial here in Shanksville, where
- 51:00Speaker 2: we are, Steve, and we really so much appreciate your hospitality.
- 51:06Speaker 2: There's TV here, there's radio here, and this is a
- 51:08Speaker 2: day before. This is a day in advance. Tomorrow is
- 51:13Speaker 2: going to be wild here. The hotelier that we're staying
- 51:17Speaker 2: with After he got over my Glenn Youngkin t-shirt, he
- 51:21Speaker 2: gave me a quick rundown. My wife went into a
- 51:24Speaker 2: Turkey Hill convenience store next door to the hotel, and
- 51:28Speaker 2: the guy says, oh, town is packed. He said, I'm
- 51:31Speaker 2: amazed you've got a hotel room in town. Everything is booked.
- 51:35Speaker 2: Everything is full, all the Airbnbs. So there's a lot
- 51:39Speaker 2: of folks here in western Pennsylvania. Somerset is the nearest
- 51:44Speaker 2: town of note, Shanksville. where the crash site is, and
- 51:49Speaker 2: just an incredible, and my wife is snapping pictures while
- 51:53Speaker 2: you and I chat of the wall of names. She's
- 51:56Speaker 2: up to get some shots of the Tower of Voices,
- 52:00Speaker 2: maybe even some video of that, as it is a
- 52:03Speaker 2: little bit of a breezy morning here in western Pennsylvania.
- 52:07Speaker 2: We bring all this to you thanks to our friends

- 52:18Speaker 2: friends at Big Ridge Guns and Archery, you see something,
- 52:21Speaker 2: do something. As Steve just was laying out there, these
- 52:25Speaker 2: folks said, we know. And I think, Steve, what you
- 52:28Speaker 2: said at the end, the other flights, they just didn't
- 52:31Speaker 2: have the information yet of what had happened. They didn't
- 52:36Speaker 2: know because everyone at that point, what was the world
- 52:38Speaker 2: in 2000, 2001? When somebody hijacks your plane, you You
- 52:43Speaker 2: go to Havana or wherever they want to go, and
- 52:46Speaker 2: then you rescue the plane and the passengers. You know,
