  Speaker 3: then right as the side effects start to kick in,

• 2:37
  Speaker 3: this morning. Joel writes in, New York City is going
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: to be a cluster you-know-what this week, as mentioned. I
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: grew up in New York City, and we used to
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: have a word for it. I think it was something
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: like POTUS lock, or no, no, it was bubble lock,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: is what we used to call it. The Daily News
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: would say it's a bubble lock alert when Bill Clinton
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: was coming to town to Have everyone at the UN
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: tell him how great he was for himself. Hang on
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: the line. We'll get to you at 434-882-4217. But as promised,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: I must tell you what went on last night. Israel
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: is moving towards a re-approachment with Austria. Yes, Austria, the
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: hometown of that corporal with the little weird mustache. The
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Austrian Freedom Party leader, Herbert Kekul, apologized for Austria's role
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: in the Holocaust, strongly condemned the October 7th Hamas attacks,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: and pledged to move Austria's embassy to Jerusalem if his
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: party takes a majority. Gideon Saar, Israeli foreign minister, called
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Kegel's remarks an important and positive development. Meanwhile, Notable international
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: affairs expert Ed Sheeran, not seeking to distance himself from
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: his former opening act, Macklemore, who had stood with Gaza
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: and saying he supports terrorism across the globe. Ed Sheeran
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: said what happens in Gaza is an outrage and people
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: should be upset about it. showing solidarity with the Palestinians
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: over the Israelis. The Ku Klux Klan apparently appears in
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: a Converse ad, which I'm sure you can only find
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: on a million websites this morning. Converse basking in the
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: afterglow of perhaps a subliminal message put into an ad
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: for a new pair of Chuck 70X sneakers. showing a
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: singer named Karina wearing a skirt, and the shadows on
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: the skirt, critics say, show a white triangular shape, which
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: looks like a KKK hood. And the way she's holding
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: the sneakers apparently makes them look like the dangling feet
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: of a lynching victim. The things we spend our time with.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Ukrainian forces fired more than 1,100 drones into Russia overnight,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: bombing runs into Moscow Moscow's mayor described the wave of
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: drones as the largest ever meanwhile Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: while all this was going on said he was on
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: the phone with President Trump for talks that could quote
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: change a lot in terms of resolving the conflict that's
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: been going on for some time for more than four
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: and a half years and This will happen at the
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: UN Security Council meetings going on in New York this week.

  Speaker 8: Hi, this is Bud.

  Speaker 9: Foster, co-host of Foster and Friends and former Virginia Tech

  Speaker 9: football coach. When I brought the famed lunch pail to
• 6:15
  Speaker 9: our team, it symbolized teamwork. The word win stood for
• 6:19
  Speaker 9: what's important now. The Lunch Pail Defense Foundation realizes the

  Speaker 8: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: found that curcumin can decrease swelling, and inflammation has antioxidant
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: properties and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: at least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells, even
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 10: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:17
  Speaker 10: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 10: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: personal information like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:38
  Speaker 10: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 10: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I'm Jack Hanna.
• 10:00
  Speaker 11: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
• 10:01
  Speaker 11: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
• 10:05
  Speaker 11: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
• 10:07
  Speaker 11: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
• 10:10
  Speaker 11: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes who work hard
• 10:13
  Speaker 11: to provide for their young. Or penguins, who travel up
• 10:16
  Speaker 11: to 500 miles to secure food for their families. Or
• 10:19
  Speaker 11: bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
• 10:21
  Speaker 11: trees and the wild in search of fruit. This remarkable
• 10:24
  Speaker 11: work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
• 10:28
  Speaker 11: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
• 10:30
  Speaker 11: because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work
• 10:34
  Speaker 11: every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
• 10:36
  Speaker 11: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
• 10:39
  Speaker 11: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
• 10:42
  Speaker 11: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
• 10:45
  Speaker 11: roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:48
  Speaker 11: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 11: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 11: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 10:57
  Speaker 12: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 13: And now a speech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 14: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 12: Heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 14: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
• 11:15
  Speaker 14: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
• 11:18
  Speaker 14: call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 15: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:29
  Speaker 16: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 16: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 16: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 16: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 16: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 16: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 16: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 16: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 16: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 16: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 16: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:08
  Speaker 16: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it

• 12:32
  Speaker 17: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 17: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 17: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.

• 13:11
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I just pulled this one. I just got off the
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: phone with Randy listening in Cleveland, Tennessee this morning, listening
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: to us at 1340 AM. and talking about President Trump
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: being mischaracterized for his statements last week on gas prices.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: He says, what people who complain about high fuel prices
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: should remember, Democrats, with the rats highlighted, wanted to have
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: 100% renewable energy use in 10 years. And this was
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: how they justified the $ 5 gas prices during the Biden administration.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: There was no war. We weren't trying to stop the
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: international support of terrorism. Randy, you were spot on. And
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: I appreciate you down there. And Tennessee is one of
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: my favorite states. My wife and I drove through there.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: We broadcasted from Memphis. And there's a town that when
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: even the Democrats in Memphis love Donald Trump for the
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: help he's given, it tells you something. But, uh, you know,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: my first thing my wife said, as soon as we
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: passed through Bristol and we stopped for the obligatory pictures
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: where Virginia and, and, and Tennessee meet there, um, she said,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: we were about two hours into the drive. She said,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: you know, the sides of the road, they're really clean here.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: So it well kept cool state, uh, enjoyed Memphis. Uh,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: what's the sisters. Was it three sisters, the donut place actually, uh,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Is that it? I can't remember off the top of
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: my head. It was something sisters make these incredible. They're
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: not actually donuts. They're pastries. They just look like donuts.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: And they're just layer after layer of pastry dough, like
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: phyllo dough, all piled together until it's like donut size.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: And all kinds of great flavors. We brought some bacon,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: maple bacon home to my son. But we got some
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: of these donuts and we sat and we had them
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: on the steps of the Parthenon in Nashville at Vanderbilt University.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: And if you ever want to feel like you're standing
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: outside the Parthenon, it's remarkable. I guess it was World's
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Fair and they built it for the World's Fair and
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: it's just there on the campus of Vanderbilt University. Yeah,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: we did. We did the grand old We actually, first
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: place we went was the original Grand Ole Opry Theater.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: And then we went out to the Gaylord Resort slash
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Grand Ole Opry Theater. Holy moly. I thought the Gaylord
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Resort here in Washington, D.C. was expansive. Ain't nothing there,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: but I appreciate you listening in Tennessee. But you're right.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: This was always the agenda was to drive up gas prices.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: And the dirty secret in this is that gasoline... is
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: so inexpensive to make, regardless of the value of our U.S.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: dollar and all of that. The maddening thing for all
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: these fossil fuel haters is that it is incredibly inexpensive
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: to work with. It's almost miraculous. When you look at
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: all the things you can make from a barrel of
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: crude oil, whether it be the shell of your laptop computer,
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: parts for a jet engine, or gasoline for your car.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: And sometimes in multiple senses, because when you refine it,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: you can get multiple parts out of it. Bunker fuel.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Tell me there isn't a ship out there that isn't
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: running around on the waste byproduct of oil refinement.
• 17:28
  Speaker 18: And.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: May I point out, Randy, I don't know how many
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: miles you have on your odometer, one of the climate
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: alarmist points was peak oil. Remember, this was we're going
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: to be out of oil by 2000, that there's not
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: going to be any more oil. There are still oil
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: fields that engineers are baffled as to why they're still
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: generating oil. And sure, some do go dry, but some
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: haven't yet. These deposits continue, never mind what we've learned
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: about fracturing and things that have made Russia, for the
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: most part, an exporter of oil. Thank you, Ukraine, for
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: hitting a refinery, by the way, because we don't have
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: enough of those. The one thing the world can't have,
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: and Randy, maybe you've heard me say this, the slogan
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: instead of drill, baby, drill should be refine, baby, refine.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: But every state has closed numerous oil refineries as if
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: we're trying to get Bruce Springsteen's approval down the road
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: from the refinery. California, what do they have, three refineries
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: that they've shut down? So as you said, there are
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: so much reality to what's going on with the price
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: of gas. Never minding the taxes that are collected, both
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: federally and on a state level. I think there was
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: a small chain in New Jersey that said they were
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: going to eat the gas tax and the state wouldn't
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: let them because the state has to put a stamp
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: on the meters in the gasoline pumps. I forget what
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: it was. It was a smaller chain. It wasn't like
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: ExxonMobil or anyone. But they said, we will eat the tax.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: We'll pay the tax for our customers. And the state said, no,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: you can't. Why should you care where the tax money
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: comes from if it isn't a political adjustment? If a
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: gas station says, I will eat the sales tax in
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: order to sell gasoline for 40 or 50 cents less
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: a gallon, even though the states, all these ones with
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: all these affordable jockey governors like New Jersey and Virginia
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: and Pennsylvania, What was it, about three months that Shapiro
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: lifted the gas tax and put it right back? Here,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: you'll love this one. In Virginia, they've never offered the
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: idea of suspending the gas tax, not even for one minute.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: And now the Department of Transportation, whose budget is basically
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: collected through these gas taxes, is saying, well, we don't
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: have enough money. We need more money from the government.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Government took in $ 40 billion in a quarter. I'm sorry,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: in a year. Their last quarter, they were up 14%.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: They're turning their pockets out, saying we don't have enough.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Do we need to know what happened to all that
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Venezuelan oil? Where is that?
• 21:02
  Speaker 12: Sure.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: But the backlog is at the refinery. That's what we're
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: not doing. We're not refining the oil. And that's why
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: the Strait of Hormuz is still in play. A cause, ironically,
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: the place to get your oil refined is is in
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia, and so we need to sail into our
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Strait of Hormuz to get our oil refined, even if
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: we drilled it here in Pennsylvania or Texas or anything
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: like that. So anyway, Randy, thank you for calling from Cleveland, Tennessee.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Discover a new affiliate out there. I always like that.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: That's always fun for me. Cleveland rocks, doesn't it?
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Hey, I'm Brant, and her name is Sherry.
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: Hello.
• 22:04
  Speaker 19: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 19: for because of a surgery she just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 20: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  Speaker 20: talk about all the time, which is?
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: MediShare.
• 22:14
  Speaker 20: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:15
  Speaker 19: So what was your experience like with MediShare and the
• 22:17
  Speaker 19: health care bills?
• 22:18
  Speaker 20: Honestly, Brant, seamless. And what a blessing that is when
• 22:21
  Speaker 20: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was.
• 22:24
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 22:24
  Speaker 20: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 20: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 20: call in with your need, that is just.
• 22:33
  Speaker 21: It is refreshing.
• 22:33
  Speaker 20: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 19: But I keep telling people, people love MediShare and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 19: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 20: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different,
• 22:46
  Speaker 20: and I mean different in a very, very good way.
• 22:48
  Speaker 19: It is good different.

  Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Artificial
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: intelligence is everywhere. and now it's helping veterinarians deliver better
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that speed up diagnoses
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports veterinary teams
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease, and even streamline
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: record-keeping so veterinarians can focus more on patients. But As
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: with any new technology, always keep a human in the
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: loop to maintain the best pet health care. AI is
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: a powerful tool, but not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion,
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: and judgment, which remains at the center of our profession.

  Speaker 8: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 12: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

  Speaker 21: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 14: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:13
  Speaker 14: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 15: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: Me too.

  Speaker 16: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:26
  Speaker 16: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:30
  Speaker 16: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 16: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:37
  Speaker 16: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 16: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov.

• 26:49
  Speaker 16: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 16: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 16: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:59
  Speaker 16: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 16: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 16: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.

  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Tonk Media Network.
• 28:15
  Speaker 17: You're a bad, bad man in the service of a
• 28:18
  Speaker 17: vengeful God.
• 28:21
  Speaker 24: As long as you've got a voice, don't ever stop.
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: Hi. As long as you've got truth, don't ever stop.
• 28:31
  Speaker 22: You're on the air.
• 28:32
  Speaker 21: As long as you've got love.
• 28:36
  Speaker 13: What's on your mind?
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: Tell me what's on your mind.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: What isn't on our mind? We have infinite wisdoms, and
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: somehow we've allowed ourselves to be gaslit into believing that
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: we don't have the intellectual heft to manage our own lives,
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: never mind everyone else's. And earlier we were kind of
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: talking about depression and the causes. We've had some notable
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: public suicides. celebrities, even unintentional ones, consumption through drug addiction,
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Cindy Crawford's kid, Sunday night comes to mind. And we
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: were talking about how we ground ourselves. And I mentioned
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: the Ten Commandments, thus the West Wing clip of the
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: vengeful God, Joe, how can you purport to support an
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: ideology that speaks so thoroughly about vengeance? I am a
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: loving and caring God who will take out vengeance on
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: your ass? Question mark, writes Steve. So the message in
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: that commandment, the second commandment about craven image is, about
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: carvings of things and images and depictions of things and
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: purporting them to be false gods, if you insist on
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: not taking it literally, is about humility. Because we had
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: people who were creating themselves into God, and that's what
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: we're doing now. where we've become so secular in our
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: pursuit that we've forgotten that there are more important things.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: And through that, and Steve, this is where I will
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: take it away from theology, from that theology, the wellspring
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: of care for thy neighbor, love thy neighbor as you
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: love yourself. The same Marxist that will tell you not
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: to read those Ten Commandments, keep wheeling out love thy neighbor.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: and brothers keeper and throwing them in my face. You
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: can't selectively parse through scripture and have it both ways.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Because yes, we're supposed to look after our brothers and
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: make sure they're okay. But that doesn't mean who we
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: voted for. That doesn't mean, well, I meant to join
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: a charitable organization. The United Way was calling me the
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: Salvation Army. Tomorrow night, I'm I'm hosting, I think, like
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: my 20th annual Salvation Army telethon with my friend Dan
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: from a local CBS station. These are the people who
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: are they're not looking for the government to do it.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: They're not counting on whoever their congressperson is to do
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: their good work for them. Those are the craven images
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: of today. Vote for me and I'll do good stuff
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: in your name. And it's a lie. Just as much
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: as it's a lie to make you think that you
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: can't understand these things or that you can't understand how
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: the U.S. government works. We got this. You know, that
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: should be our slogan. We decided that earlier in the program.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: United States of America, you got this. That should be
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: the slogan. Yes, in God we trust isn't going anywhere.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: But just for a bumper sticker's sake, the United States
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: of America, you got this. Because that was the point
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: of this country 239 years ago when they sat down
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: and wrote the Constitution and 238 years ago when they
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: did the Bill of Rights, finally, to seal the deal,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: was you got this. Good morning. You're on the air
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: with Joe. First thing this morning, who's this?
• 32:52
  Speaker 12: And I'm still trying to save our little republic.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Hey, Andy, how are you doing, sir? You know, one day,
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: one person at a time.
• 33:01
  Speaker 12: Yeah, no, I mean, it's good stuff. The, you know,
• 33:04
  Speaker 12: just returning to constitutional money, never running a payroll and.
• 33:11
  Speaker 12: becoming really good at something. In my spare time, I've
• 33:16
  Speaker 12: developed both photography skills and woodworking skills. I've never monetized
• 33:25
  Speaker 12: any of those things, but I have helped a lot
• 33:28
  Speaker 12: of people get started in their own businesses. I think
• 33:33
  Speaker 12: probably with the one that I'm most proud of, I'm
• 33:38
  Speaker 12: talking within 20 minutes to try and talk him off
• 33:42
  Speaker 12: the cliff. He is somebody who tried to ruin the
• 33:46
  Speaker 12: inside of his business, but he's also hung up with
• 33:53
  Speaker 12: about $ 2. 5 million worth of debt relating to a commercial. No,
• 33:59
  Speaker 12: it's a commercial property. And I told him to, somebody
• 34:04
  Speaker 12: wanted to, you know, in these little globalist pieces of excrement,
• 34:09
  Speaker 12: just have to, you know, get off this guy because he's,
• 34:13
  Speaker 12: you know, he's done nothing but good in his life.
• 34:16
  Speaker 12: I mean, he's like, he's done, oh.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: And people wonder, you know, this story. this story is
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: indicative of why people in this country have lost faith
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: in it because one of the cornerstones, Andy, isn't it life, liberty,
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: and property? It's the due process.
• 34:34
  Speaker 12: And the right to defend it. Right, exactly.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: But when the government acts like it's their property and
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: they're just letting you squat on it is when we
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: start to get a little salty.
• 34:47
  Speaker 12: Well, you know, this is the Marine who.
• 34:51
  Speaker 12: He wasn't in a wartime, but he's surrounded by three
• 34:56
  Speaker 12: of probably the most liberal people in all of Idaho,
• 35:01
  Speaker 12: if you can imagine, like in Boise.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: And you've got to work hard to find a liberal
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: in Idaho.
• 35:09
  Speaker 12: Oh, no, I'm serious. The first time I went out
• 35:13
  Speaker 12: and visited him, I had phoned out to Salt Lake
• 35:17
  Speaker 12: to have dinner with the lady, and And it wasn't
• 35:20
  Speaker 12: somebody I would want to spend any more time with.
• 35:23
  Speaker 12: And so I called Robert and I said, I'm down
• 35:24
  Speaker 12: here in Salt Lake. He said, well, come on up here.
• 35:28
  Speaker 12: It's only five hours. And so I drove up there
• 35:32
  Speaker 12: and I had met his wife because I helped the
• 35:36
  Speaker 12: two of them start the striping business. And I used
• 35:39
  Speaker 12: to feed and work on the East Coast. And so
• 35:44
  Speaker 12: I knew, you know, just knew her, but I'd never
• 35:47
  Speaker 12: met the kids. It was hilarious. They're sitting here in flesh.
• 35:55
  Speaker 12: They're probably 19 and 17. The 17-year-old is like a
• 36:02
  Speaker 12: drop-dead bombshell. The one that's older, the firstborn, is just
• 36:08
  Speaker 12: as funny a human being as I've ever been around.
• 36:12
  Speaker 12: They were dressed up to go to one of these...
• 36:15
  Speaker 12: Who's the little lady that you know, has concerts, married
• 36:19
  Speaker 12: the football player.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, Taylor Swift. So they're, they were going, yeah.
• 36:23
  Speaker 12: They were, you know, dressed to go to one of
• 36:26
  Speaker 12: those things. And so Robert and I went out to
• 36:29
  Speaker 12: dinner and he, he said, let's call you. And I said, well,
• 36:36
  Speaker 12: I said, you can either call me Mr. Hoard or Grandy.
• 36:41
  Speaker 12: And I said, Brandy it is.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: So tell me more about, before we run out of time,
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: I want to find out, how are they coming after
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: his property? I mean, is it a tax thing?
• 36:53
  Speaker 12: They're jerking him around. I mean, they have– he has–
• 36:57
  Speaker 12: I think he has a million-dollar note. And, you know,
• 37:01
  Speaker 12: this property is on– it's on the market for about 3.2.
• 37:05
  Speaker 12: It's probably worth 10 percent or 20 percent more than that.
• 37:09
  Speaker 12: But this town council, like adjacent property, they wanted to–
• 37:18
  Speaker 12: They don't do it in Charlottesville anymore, but remember the
• 37:22
  Speaker 12: Albemarle County?
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, when they want to annex. They want to annex.
• 37:27
  Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: More tax money out there.
• 37:32
  Speaker 12: And they've got some apartments and stuff around the property
• 37:37
  Speaker 12: that weren't there initially.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: I'm running up on a break. Finish up for me, Andy,
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: as we're coming up on a break here.
• 37:48
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it's just it's just incredible to see the year
• 37:51
  Speaker 12: and I'm guiding him through this. I'm going to go
• 37:53
  Speaker 12: buy the property for 10 percent more. And but he's
• 37:57
  Speaker 12: going to pledge the.
• 38:01
  Speaker 19: Life can change so fast. Abruptly, just ask Paul. He's
• 38:05
  Speaker 19: a hardworking entrepreneur.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: He's young.
• 38:07
  Speaker 19: He's got a young family. Suddenly, though, he develops a
• 38:10
  Speaker 19: rare medical condition where he lost the use of both
• 38:13
  Speaker 19: of his arms.
• 38:14
  Speaker 14: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer,
• 38:16
  Speaker 14: couldn't type, couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold
• 38:18
  Speaker 14: my son, who was about a month old.
• 38:20
  Speaker 19: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
• 38:23
  Speaker 19: but they're so thankful that they're members of MediShare.
• 38:27
  Speaker 14: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does MediShare
• 38:30
  Speaker 14: really work? I'm living proof that it works. My four
• 38:33
  Speaker 14: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
• 38:36
  Speaker 14: have been healed, are living proof that MediShare works. Just
• 38:40

  Speaker 13: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 13: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 13: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 13: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:21
  Speaker 13: favorite form of ear candy.
• 40:23
  Speaker 12: Oh, my.
• 40:24
  Speaker 13: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 22: Shh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 13: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: And with every item you buy, you fund local job.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Training and more.
• 40:44
  Speaker 13: So go forth... Bring home those donut earrings. And bring
• 40:49
  Speaker 13: home so much good to your community.
• 40:54
  Speaker 9: Goodwill.
• 40:55
  Speaker 13: Bring good home.
• 40:57
  Speaker 21: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 21: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 21: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 21: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 21: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 21: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 21: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  Speaker 21: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 21: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 21: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41

  Speaker 7: Sure. We'll probably stay together.

  Speaker 2: Probably?

  Speaker 23: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.

  Speaker 20: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.

  Speaker 22: Cannonball!

• 43:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 22: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  Speaker 22: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42
  Speaker 22: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the talk media network.
• 44:23
  Speaker 24: You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
• 44:29
  Speaker 24: If you choose not to decide, you still have made
• 44:33
  Speaker 24: a choice. You can choose from phantom fields and kingdoms
• 44:38
  Speaker 24: that concur.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: Wait, what?
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: I will choose a backlash here. I will choose free will.
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: Perversion all over the place. And honestly, you picked the
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: wrong bumper music for this particular... Because we're going to
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: talk about property. We're going to talk about property ownership.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: And if this is actually the cornerstone, the FCC, your
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: local planning commission, your deed assessor, there are... I received
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: this text during the break. Good morning, Joe. Thank you
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: for all you do coming out of our flagship city
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: here in central Virginia. Don't have your name. I'm sorry.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: But coming out of Stanton, Virginia or Charlottesville could be.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: It's my understanding that a deed does not mean one
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: owns a property. It actually is more like a lifetime
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: lease that can be passed down or sold. The land
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: belongs to the government. As you know, if you think
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: you own your property, try not paying the taxes. Everything
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: else you own that requires taxes, like your car, does
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: not get taken from you when you don't pay the
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: taxes because you actually own that. The next step to
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: owning your property is filing with the Department of Agriculture
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: for a land patent if, granted to you, you actually
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: own your property. It's one of the many bait and
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: switches hidden in the paperwork generations ago. Well, and the
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: bait and switch part is so important because Andy brought
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: up this friend of his in Utah. And I don't know,
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: he said it was north of Salt Lake. So I
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: know we're still on our friends in Provo this morning
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: on KIXR 1400, Voice of the Valley. You know, we
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: were last hour, we were on K-Talk in Salt Lake.
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: And we also have friends in St.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: George.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: KDXU. But each state has its different manipulations on this.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: But yes, the state, by our acquiescence, has inserted itself,
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: just like the FCC has inserted itself, into a regulatory
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: capture over your property. I've said this before, if you
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: want to really understand what democratic socialism looks like, Go
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: to a planning commission meeting when homestay is on the agenda.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: Go to a planning commission meeting when somebody has a
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: by-right plan to build an apartment complex and the neighbors
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: don't want it. Go to a planning commission meeting when
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: affordable housing is on the plan and the neighbors don't
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: want it. There's an acronym, goes just by the way
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: it's spoken. The initials are N-I-M-B-Y, not in my backyard. NIMBYism, NIMBYs.
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: NIMBYs want affordable housing, not in my backyard. NIMBYs want
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: affordable energy, just not in my backyard. NIMBYs want high-speed
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: data just not in my backyard. And it's interesting because
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: it is an offshoot of my property rights. It's saying
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: you can't make me have a data center next door
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: to my property. Why not? And understand, again, for our
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: friends listening to us on 1490 WGCH, my grandfather wrote
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: a lot of the zoning laws for the Greenwich area.
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: And I used to go out on site walks with
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: him because he and the other zoning commissioners wouldn't just
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: look at a presentation and some PowerPoint. They would actually,
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: on a Saturday morning, go out and walk sites. I
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: don't know if it was my grandfather's insistence or not,
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: but they didn't seem to like it very much. A
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: little four-year-old Joe Thomas said, could catch on that the
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: other people were not thrilled with my grandfather for making
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: them go out and walk some property. I just thought
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: it was cool. So I'm not against saying infrastructure management
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: is not an important thing. You don't want to have
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: all the buildings on one end of the road, for example,
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: or something on a two-lane blacktop that needs four lanes
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: of traffic. You need to have those discussions. I like
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: the way Pennsylvania does it. If you're going to build
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: a whole bunch of houses on a piece of property,
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: you need to widen the roads. You need to make
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: sure there's access. And I don't see why that would
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: be a problem. It helps the residents of your property
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: get in and out. And then the Department of Transportation
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: takes over management of it. But you want to build
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: that property? Build out the roads for it. But a deed,
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: so the FCC, just like your clerk of courts, is
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: supposed to register your deed as a protection. Your deed
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: is supposed to work as an authorized document saying, we
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: have on record that Joseph Thomas owns this piece of
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: property in Palmyra, Virginia. The FCC has a document that says,
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: Thomas Media LLC owns transmitters on these frequencies in Stanton, Waynesboro, Charlottesville,
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: and Harrisonburg. And nobody else shall be able to use
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: that property because it's already purchased and owned by someone else.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: Now the Marxists, they don't like that. They don't like
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: that and they're always looking for some new way to
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: collect money. And you're right. Absolutely right. This is an
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: abomination of property ownership. It is one of the core
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: principles of this country and it needs to be fixed.
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: But we have allowed it to happen. Sometimes because we
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: didn't want the winery next door to start having weddings
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: or we didn't want the lady down the road with
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: the nice house with some property under it to build
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: some guest houses and start the Airbnb. Or we didn't
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: want somebody to build one and two bedroom apartments at
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: the end of our block because our neighborhood surely needs
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: affordable housing, just not in my backyard. And part of
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: it is ironically driven by by the fact that the
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: government collects taxes on your property anyway, because the government
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: always wants your property value to go up so that
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: it gets more money without ever having to raise taxes,
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: because that's always bad policy, right? So they fall prey
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: to this, protect my property values by not letting somebody
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: build a data center, even though they're permitted to where
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: they are. And remember, the data center movement is being
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: funded by the CHICOMs anyway. But that's a whole other
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: can of fish that we don't have time to get into.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it. It's great to meet, realize, and find
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: out that we're on in Cleveland, Tennessee. Love that. I'm
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: Joe Thomas. Until tomorrow, so long, and thanks for all
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: the fish.
• 52:51
  Speaker 26: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:54
  Speaker 26: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: was no hassles.
• 53:00
  Speaker 12: There was no problem.
• 53:02
  Speaker 26: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:05
  Speaker 26: of such an incredible ministry.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: share each other's medical expenses.
• 53:13
  Speaker 7: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 53:17
  Speaker 7: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: And members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: medical bills.
• 53:28
  Speaker 12: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 53:30
  Speaker 19: You can focus on supporting other people.
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: MediShare is affordable.
• 53:35
  Speaker 8: MediShare is biblical.
• 53:36
  Speaker 15: MediShare is family.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: Join thousands of Christians who can help you save on
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: your health care and support your family when you need it.
