0:04
Speaker 1: More Megan now making merits for great again than I've
0:08
Speaker 1: ever been.
0:09
Speaker 2: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
0:12
Speaker 2: Joe Thomas.
0:33
Speaker 1: Thank you if you're letting us be of service to
0:35
Speaker 1: you on this Tedsdy, on the day where we celebrate
0:38
Speaker 1: God's gifts to you. Why do we call it tedsdy
0:42
Speaker 1: Because if there is a person on this planet that
0:44
Speaker 1: embodies the idea of pure, unadulterated joy in doing what
0:49
Speaker 1: God has gifted them to do, it's hard pressed to
0:52
Speaker 1: find somebody other than Ted Nugender, And of course humility
0:56
Speaker 1: prohibits me picking anyone else that might be in our
0:58
Speaker 1: conversation right now. So as we celebrate God's gifts to
1:03
Speaker 1: you and your application of them to a grateful constituency
1:07
Speaker 1: who reward you thusly, therefore inoculating you against all the
1:12
Speaker 1: haters and the snowflakes that might want to try to
1:15
Speaker 1: cancel you, not saying that they won't. It's just you
1:18
Speaker 1: will be able to put a smile on and keep
1:20
Speaker 1: walking forward. Charles writes in to JT. I'm sorry, Ray
1:27
Speaker 1: rites into JT in the Morning Radio at gmail dot com.
1:31
Speaker 1: We should also note that Canadian shooting is yet another
1:34
Speaker 1: failure of gun control and noted earlier in the program,
1:39
Speaker 1: and as we still wait for more information from the police.
1:44
Speaker 1: There are states across the United States who are trying
1:48
Speaker 1: to enact draconian gun confiscations, Virginia being pre eminent amongst them,
1:55
Speaker 1: with attempts at several things that you might found find
2:00
Speaker 1: familiar in the listing of some of the laws. The
2:06
Speaker 1: National Handgun Freeze put in place in two thousand and two,
2:11
Speaker 1: an assault style ban more than two five hundred models
2:15
Speaker 1: of military style firearms prohibited for anyone to own. Licensing
2:23
Speaker 1: requires all firearms applicants to undergo background checks, twenty eight
2:27
Speaker 1: day waiting periods, and must pass the Canadian Firearms Safety Course.
2:32
Speaker 1: In classifications non restricted hunting rifles and shotguns, restricted handguns
2:38
Speaker 1: and certain rifles requiring registration and authorization permits, prohibited automatic weapons,
2:45
Speaker 1: certain semi automatic rifles, and handguns with barrels less than
2:51
Speaker 1: one hundred and five millimeters magazine capacities. That's a big
2:55
Speaker 1: one here in our flagships state of Virginia five or under.
3:00
Speaker 1: So these are all things that are already on the
3:03
Speaker 1: books in the Canadian world of gun restrictions. So for
3:08
Speaker 1: those who seek to do more of that in the
3:10
Speaker 1: United States. Yeah, it still doesn't help. It's a point
3:14
Speaker 1: we've made time and time again regarding violence and that
3:20
Speaker 1: the commandment thou shalt not murder existed long before firearms did.
3:25
Speaker 1: The latest for you, as police continue to go over
3:28
Speaker 1: the forensics from the scene of a horrific shooting in
3:32
Speaker 1: a high school in tumblr Ridge, British Columbia, up by
3:37
Speaker 1: the Alberta border in northeast British Columbia. Twenty five people injured,
3:43
Speaker 1: ten dead, including two at a private home that police
3:47
Speaker 1: have at least in their reports to the news media
3:50
Speaker 1: connected with the shooting. One minister from tumblr Ridge Fellowship
3:56
Speaker 1: Baptist Church, who had been ministering to families in the
3:59
Speaker 1: commune unity, implied that the victims are students. Zee said,
4:06
Speaker 1: it's not a pretty site. Families are still waiting to
4:09
Speaker 1: hear if it's their child that is deceased. A grand
4:14
Speaker 1: jury in Washington refused Tuesday to indict Democrat lawmakers in
4:18
Speaker 1: connection with a video in which they urged US military
4:22
Speaker 1: members to resist quote illegal orders. Of course, the video
4:26
Speaker 1: doesn't specify which ones those would be. Democratic governors from
4:31
Speaker 1: across the country are joining in a boycott of a
4:34
Speaker 1: National Governor's Association dinner with the President of the United
4:39
Speaker 1: States after the White House disinvited Maryland Governor Wes Moore
4:43
Speaker 1: and Colorado Governor Jared Polis from the dinner. Americans tell
4:50
Speaker 1: the Gallop Organization that about sixty percent of them have
4:54
Speaker 1: high ratings when they look forward in the next five
4:58
Speaker 1: years to how their life will be. The Gallop Organization
5:01
Speaker 1: says the fifty nine percent result is the lowest that
5:05
Speaker 1: that question has received in twenty years. Senate Majority Leader
5:10
Speaker 1: John Thune said the Republicans that are working on a
5:13
Speaker 1: second four week funding bill for the Department of Homeland
5:17
Speaker 1: Security to keep it open after Democratic leaders Sekeem Jeffreys
5:21
Speaker 1: and Chuck Schumer rejected the White House's offer of ways
5:27
Speaker 1: to keep DHS funded and work on the laws that
5:31
Speaker 1: governed them. Meanwhile, the Save Act has lost a supporter
5:35
Speaker 1: in the US. Senate Lisa Murkowski of Alaska has announced
5:39
Speaker 1: that she is joining the Democrats to oppose the idea
5:43
Speaker 1: of asking for identification, claiming that this is a federalization
5:47
Speaker 1: of elections and that she would not support it whether
5:52
Speaker 1: it was Joe Biden or Donald Trump and a person
5:55
Speaker 1: was detained for questioning in connection with the abduction of
5:58
Speaker 1: Nancy Guthrie in Tucson Reports now that that person has
6:03
Speaker 1: been released from custody, and those are our first things

Speaker 8: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
8:08
Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
8:13
Speaker 8: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:19
Speaker 8: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:23
Speaker 8: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:27
Speaker 8: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:32
Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:37
Speaker 8: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:43
Speaker 8: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
Speaker 8: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
Speaker 8: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

9:06
Speaker 9: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
9:10

9:22

9:57

10:00
Speaker 6: I'm Jack Hannah, and it's always a boy. Growing up
10:02
Speaker 6: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
10:05
Speaker 6: I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
10:07
Speaker 6: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
10:09
Speaker 6: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
10:13
Speaker 6: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
10:16
Speaker 6: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
10:18
Speaker 6: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
10:21
Speaker 6: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
10:23
Speaker 6: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
10:26
Speaker 6: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
10:30
Speaker 6: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
10:33
Speaker 6: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
10:36
Speaker 6: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
10:38
Speaker 6: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
10:42
Speaker 6: a change.
10:42
Speaker 2: In their blood chemistry.
10:43
Speaker 6: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
10:46
Speaker 6: contribute to society and help those in need. So please
10:49
Speaker 6: join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
10:52
Speaker 6: dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet.
10:54
Speaker 4: We inhabit together.
10:55
Speaker 6: Go to American Humane dot org to learn more.
11:00
Speaker 10: Uh oh brah, that's buzzed. Oh yeah yeah, he's starting
11:03
Speaker 10: with the woots.
11:06
Speaker 11: And now a speech.
11:07
Speaker 12: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:11
Speaker 12: heart and brain.
11:12
Speaker 3: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 10: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
11:16
Speaker 10: brain is saying when it's time to go home. Somebody
11:19
Speaker 10: call me a ride.
11:20
Speaker 13: Love that guy, me too.
11:22
Speaker 14: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
11:24
Speaker 14: it's time to go home.
11:25
Speaker 3: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:29
Speaker 4: Did you know that more than half our household energy
11:32
Speaker 4: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
11:36
Speaker 4: good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
11:40
Speaker 4: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
11:43
Speaker 4: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
11:47
Speaker 4: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
11:50
Speaker 4: That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
11:53
Speaker 4: leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes and
11:57
Speaker 4: improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
12:00
Speaker 4: when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
12:03
Speaker 4: energy Star logo and read the energy Guide label, and
12:07
Speaker 4: there are day to day things you can do. Lower
12:09
Speaker 4: your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
12:12
Speaker 4: close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
12:15
Speaker 4: air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by

12:30
Speaker 15: As a family member or friend, you may be the
12:33
Speaker 15: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:36
Speaker 15: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
12:41
Speaker 15: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
12:44

12:53

13:12
Speaker 2: We could tell you what six seven means. Where's the funding?
13:15
Speaker 2: That first thing? Today? By Joe Thomas on the Tonk
13:19
Speaker 2: Media Network.
13:31
Speaker 1: Bats grants, fever, no no tiki, no shoti There four
13:37
Speaker 1: three four eighty two four two one seven.
13:41
Speaker 16: Uh.
13:42
Speaker 1: We mentioned this FAA and I've been trying to get
13:44
Speaker 1: details more Over, Veronica Escobar, US congressperson who represents the
13:52
Speaker 1: El Paso area, says, this is an unprecedented move to
13:57
Speaker 1: shut down El Paso's airspace for ten days. From my
14:01
Speaker 1: office and I have been able to gather overnight and
14:03
Speaker 1: early this morning, there's no immediate threat to the community
14:07
Speaker 1: or surrounding areas. We have urged THEAA to lift the
14:11
Speaker 1: flight restrictions placed on the l Paso area. I will
14:15
Speaker 1: continue to make information public as I learn it. The
14:20
Speaker 1: FAA last night halted all flights in and out of
14:25
Speaker 1: l Passo for ten days for special security reasons. State
14:32
Speaker 1: and local officials seem to have been upbraided by it,
14:35
Speaker 1: having not expected the order to come, but still no
14:45
Speaker 1: details as to what these special security reasons are. And
14:50
Speaker 1: of course you know how human nature loves a vacuum.
14:54
Speaker 1: So now it's the president is coming there. If the
14:56
Speaker 1: president is coming there, you don't need to close the
14:58
Speaker 1: airspace for twenty days. Generally, if Air Force one is
15:06
Speaker 1: flying in somewhere, yes you will have airspace restrictions, but
15:10
Speaker 1: they're the day of So what is going on in
15:13
Speaker 1: l Paso that requires all airspace to be cleared, because
15:18
Speaker 1: that's the key. It's not what's going on in the
15:21
Speaker 1: air over l Passo, it's what's going on on the ground.
15:25
Speaker 1: Who is in l Passo that you don't want is
15:32
Speaker 1: el Chopo there? Who is in El Paso that they
15:37
Speaker 1: want the airspace cleared to quote protect? I was reading
15:47
Speaker 1: one blog post, which is always, oh, it's invigorating to
15:51
Speaker 1: read some of these things, and nobody on four Chan
15:54
Speaker 1: for you this morning. Can't can't have a debate that
15:57
Speaker 1: devolves into everyone being a Nazi. One poster is questioning
16:04
Speaker 1: whether or not this is so that drones can't get
16:08
Speaker 1: footage of massive immigrations and customs enforcement operations going on
16:15
Speaker 1: in the area. There are these other things, they're called
16:21
Speaker 1: cell phones. I mean, I'm just saying that, you know,
16:25
Speaker 1: the idea that just shutting the airspace down, to me,
16:28
Speaker 1: it leans towards the area of there's somebody in El
16:34
Speaker 1: Paso and that is going to be there for the
16:38
Speaker 1: next ten days, perhaps for a hearing, perhaps for transfer
16:49
Speaker 1: who is coming into El Paso, maybe from Mexico. These
16:55
Speaker 1: are the things that would lead to me to believe
16:58
Speaker 1: this is what the federal it is on about regarding
17:03
Speaker 1: El Paso. Also on the docket of things that you
17:09
Speaker 1: are not getting any airtime because of the shooting in
17:16
Speaker 1: British Columbia and the insistence that you can't be told, hey,
17:22
Speaker 1: nothing new here, will come back to it if something
17:25
Speaker 1: new happens. They're investigating how ten people were shot killed,
17:31
Speaker 1: twenty five others injured, and the shooter took their own
17:34
Speaker 1: life as they often do so. Lisa Murkowski, our friends
17:41
Speaker 1: at kfar up there, Oh so proud you are she is,
17:45
Speaker 1: announced yesterday that she is voting against the Save Act.
17:52
Speaker 1: In a statement she posted on Acts, Murkowski said that
17:57
Speaker 1: Republicans were in opposing democratic election reforms in twenty twenty
18:03
Speaker 1: one precisely because they would have federalized elections. She argued
18:08
Speaker 1: that proposals like the same Act now do the same,
18:12
Speaker 1: undermining states constitutional authority to regulate the administration of federal elections.
18:20
Speaker 1: Once again, I do not support these efforts, the senator wrote,
18:24
Speaker 1: making these moral equivalencies on Tuesday. Not only does the
18:28
Speaker 1: US Constitution clearly provide states the authority to regulate the time, places,
18:34
Speaker 1: and manner of holding federal elections, but one size fits
18:38
Speaker 1: all mandates from Washington, DC seldom work in places like Alaska.
18:44
Speaker 1: Do you tell me you're listening there?
18:46
Speaker 2: Kfar?
18:47
Speaker 1: Is she right? Four three four eight eight two four
18:53
Speaker 1: to two one seven. I know you guys like texting me,
18:56
Speaker 1: and that's cool. You can text to that number as
18:58
Speaker 1: well if you're busy there in Fairbanks. But I know
19:03
Speaker 1: so proud you often are of Lisa Murkowski's mischaracterization. So
19:08
Speaker 1: let's go specifically into her moral equivalencies between the things
19:15
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden was trying to do with election law
19:20
Speaker 1: and what the Save Act is saying. The Save Act says,
19:24
Speaker 1: and this is the part that's got everyone twirked, that
19:28
Speaker 1: you have to show photo ID to get on the
19:33
Speaker 1: voter rolls. You heard my buddy Kenny. He thought you
19:38
Speaker 1: couldn't actually show up and vote if you didn't show
19:42
Speaker 1: your photo ID, which isn't the case. But to get
19:45
Speaker 1: on the voter role, to register to vote, you needed
19:50
Speaker 1: to prove you're a citizen. Now it is, as Lesta,
19:56
Speaker 1: I sure understands within federal law to set those kinds
19:59
Speaker 1: of standards for I don't know, citizenship. So if you
20:05
Speaker 1: wrote a federal law like the Save Act that said
20:09
Speaker 1: in order to vote in the United States, you need
20:12
Speaker 1: to in order to get on the voter rolls of
20:15
Speaker 1: any of these states. In the United States, federal law
20:19
Speaker 1: requires to protect the and.
20:22
Speaker 2: This is so.
20:25
Speaker 1: Must control fists of fury to protect the rights of
20:31
Speaker 1: the registered voting citizens of a community. You have to
20:37
Speaker 1: have proof of identity and citizenship to get on the
20:42
Speaker 1: voter rolls. Because this isn't about restricting somebody getting on
20:48
Speaker 1: the voter rolls. It's about protecting the right to vote
20:52
Speaker 1: of those who are already on the voter rolls. And
20:56
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, why do you and I have to be
20:59
Speaker 1: the only people who see that? I mean, it is
21:00
Speaker 1: face poulm in the morning. Hey John Thune, you seem
21:03
Speaker 1: like a smart fellow. Can you come out and say that, Hey,
21:06
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz, can you come out and say that this
21:11
Speaker 1: law is simply there as federal law is supposed to do,
21:14
Speaker 1: to create a protection to protect people's rights, your right
21:18
Speaker 1: to vote and your right to have your vote counted
21:23
Speaker 1: and not diluted by somebody who's not a citizen. Voting
21:26
Speaker 1: anyway is within the purview of the federal government. Because
21:35
Speaker 1: as you know, we were just discussing, you know, with
21:39
Speaker 1: whether it's Governor Wallace or the massive resistance in Virginia
21:43
Speaker 1: or all the other places that Democrats tried to close
21:46
Speaker 1: the schools because of white federal law saying you couldn't
21:55
Speaker 1: do that. And I'm sure Senator Mkowski remembers the moments.
22:00
Speaker 1: She's got a few miles.
22:02
Speaker 14: Let's see.
22:02
Speaker 17: If something costs less but people are happier with it,
22:06
Speaker 17: that sounds like something to look into, and that is
22:08
Speaker 17: meta Share. Maybe you've heard switching to meta share to
22:11
Speaker 17: pay for healthcare can save many families up to five
22:14
Speaker 17: hundred bucks a month, and that is huge. But it's
22:16

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. I
24:13
Speaker 8: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
24:18
Speaker 8: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
24:23
Speaker 8: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
24:27
Speaker 8: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
24:32
Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:37
Speaker 8: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
24:42
Speaker 8: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
24:46
Speaker 8: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
24:51

Speaker 1: to you. Just say I want to know when these
29:15
Speaker 1: new things post, and then you can get them automatically
29:19
Speaker 1: for you. They're also a reminder five point thirty Eastern,
29:23
Speaker 1: I'm going to be on Newsmax talking about the craziness
29:28
Speaker 1: and probably the gun grabs they're going to try to
29:31
Speaker 1: make here in Virginia as part of the Todd Starns
29:33
Speaker 1: Show later this evening. So I hope you can consult
29:39
Speaker 1: your local listings, as they say. So remember Lisa Murkowski
29:43
Speaker 1: is pointing out, and yes, we are aware of the
29:45
Speaker 1: shooting in British Columbia. There's just nothing new to report yet.
29:51
Speaker 1: Twenty five injured, ten killed in this attack in British
29:56
Speaker 1: Columbia at a high school. Two of the deceased were
30:00
Speaker 1: in a private home. So right now we don't know
30:07
Speaker 1: a whole lot more. It's five o'clock in the morning there,
30:10
Speaker 1: so they're still doing there, or four o'clock in the
30:13
Speaker 1: morning there, they're still doing their investigations there. But so
30:17
Speaker 1: back to this Save Act issue and Lisa Murkowski claiming,
30:21
Speaker 1: while we pushed back against Joe Biden's voter takeovers, well, no, see,
30:28
Speaker 1: he wanted to take vot voter and expand it into everything.
30:33
Speaker 1: Executive order called for federal agencies to promote voter registration
30:37
Speaker 1: and participation quote consistent with applicable law. So if you,
30:48
Speaker 1: let's say you were going in for your SNAP benefits
30:51
Speaker 1: or applying for SNAP benefits, they would say to you, hey,
30:54
Speaker 1: your voter, you're registered. And the circumvention was that these
30:59
Speaker 1: places are not required to check for citizenship for that
31:04
Speaker 1: although many of the mask for ID. Ironically, before you
31:08
Speaker 1: get where you need to go. Andy is hanging on
31:11
Speaker 1: the line with us at four three four eight h
31:14
Speaker 1: where I went somewhere I'm breaking up. Andy's on the
31:20
Speaker 1: line with us at four three four eight eight two
31:22
Speaker 1: four to two one seven. Good morning, Andy, what's going on?
31:26
Speaker 18: Oh, just in a lot of crazy gun grabbing stuff
31:30
Speaker 18: and kind of the less wing to the left.
31:33
Speaker 1: Well, but the Canadian story, I think the Canadian story
31:37
Speaker 1: again highlights, unfortunately through the blood of the innocence, that
31:43
Speaker 1: a country that is probably less gun restrictive than Virginia
31:49
Speaker 1: would be if all these laws pass and any of
31:52
Speaker 1: these other gun grabs that are watching going on. Uh,
31:55
Speaker 1: they're trying to do some in Colorado as well as
31:58
Speaker 1: Illinois more gun restrictions. But you know, Canada has as
32:04
Speaker 1: some of the most restrictive gun ownership laws, and yet
32:07
Speaker 1: somebody was able to do this horrific stuff.
32:09
Speaker 2: With the gun.
32:10
Speaker 1: So the conceit, the lie that they're telling is that
32:14
Speaker 1: by passing these laws, we're going to stop these horrific
32:17
Speaker 1: acts from taking place.
32:20
Speaker 18: Well, that's just it. And the other thing is that
32:24
Speaker 18: people like Antifa when they moved into Virginia, specifically Charlottesville.
32:30
Speaker 18: They were, you know, doing like qualifications for their concealed
32:36
Speaker 18: carry permits out at the Rivanna Gun Club.
32:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you know when.
32:41
Speaker 18: This one dude had, you know, bought these things, he'd
32:44
Speaker 18: never fired a weapon before, and he's like in the Rivanna,
32:48
Speaker 18: a little gun club there as that was one of
32:51
Speaker 18: the places where you could pass your test, and so
32:55
Speaker 18: there the other guy didn't even want to show up
32:57
Speaker 18: because you know, unless so you know, they were going
33:01
Speaker 18: to do the active shooting at that moment. It's kind
33:04
Speaker 18: of crazy, but that that those people are weal, I
33:07
Speaker 18: mean are regal and UH. I was just sitting across
33:12
Speaker 18: the desk from uh an attorney yesterday about I left
33:18
Speaker 18: undone in Charlotteton. I mentioned Antifa moving in and he
33:26
Speaker 18: was like, they're not that much of a problem.
33:27
Speaker 1: And I was like, dude, they're not that much of
33:33
Speaker 1: a problem. Well, you know, here's you know it did, didn't.
33:36
Speaker 18: I photographed the people, said the lady right there at
33:40
Speaker 18: the what used to be Lee Park. Just you know,
33:43
Speaker 18: it's probably four days before this stuff. That three days
33:47
Speaker 18: before you know, I left him went to UH in
33:51
Speaker 18: northwestern Arkansas to go hang out with you know, Alice.
33:56
Speaker 1: Walton the rest.
34:01
Speaker 18: She's got this incredible art collection and that she put together.
34:04
Speaker 18: You know, they're a little nutty, more.
34:06
Speaker 1: Than ninety seven cents, I'm sure, but it'll be. But
34:10
Speaker 1: here's the thing, you know, and this goes back to
34:12
Speaker 1: Trump's very fine people. So there was a young lady
34:15
Speaker 1: part of Antifa who was in charlottesvillet the riots saw
34:20
Speaker 1: that I was there trying to cover the event, and
34:22
Speaker 1: I'm video and I'm live streaming and sending it back
34:25
Speaker 1: to the radio station so it can broadcast at all.
34:28
Speaker 1: And I take a face full of pepper spray and
34:32
Speaker 1: I can't see anything. And she hands me a bottle
34:35
Speaker 1: of milk and she says, like, pour this on your eyes.
34:39
Speaker 1: It'll help. And she was right. She didn't have to be.
34:41
Speaker 1: She didn't know me from a hole in the wall.
34:43
Speaker 1: She knew I wasn't in Antifa though, And and then
34:48
Speaker 1: I was about to get into a fistfight with one
34:50
Speaker 1: of the Black Lives Matter kids, and the president of
34:53
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter himself, because he had come to know me,
34:57
Speaker 1: grabbed him and said no, he's he's not a racist.
35:01
Speaker 1: And I said, thank you, hawk, I mean, you know,
35:03
Speaker 1: for you know, not thinking just the white guy as
35:05
Speaker 1: a racist. Uh, they're as crazy as those times were.
35:10
Speaker 1: But that's the same thing that's still being suborn now
35:13
Speaker 1: and they're doing it in the same way. And it's
35:16
Speaker 1: these moreover now with AI, the bots that take what
35:21
Speaker 1: you say and you know, reimagine them, recycle them, send
35:26
Speaker 1: them back at you create this digital echo chamber and
35:30
Speaker 1: it and it creates the mania that I think drives
35:34
Speaker 1: a lot of kids off the deep end sometimes.
35:39
Speaker 18: Well, Andrea Douglas and a lot of loftri and Castine
35:44
Speaker 18: were both instrumental in getting the statues like pulled out
35:49
Speaker 18: of there. Yet on the eastern side about Moral County.
35:54
Speaker 1: Well now we see why. Now, now we see why
35:56
Speaker 1: they wanted us to take down all the Civil War
35:59
Speaker 1: monuments from the nineteenth century because it's about to reinflame.
36:03
Speaker 1: It's the same players, it's the same issues, uh, and
36:06
Speaker 1: we're we're just gonna have a Civil War re enactment,
36:09
Speaker 1: only this time it's not going to have blanks in
36:12
Speaker 1: the guns, and the battle lines are going to be
36:16
Speaker 1: in a lot of different places than just the border
36:18
Speaker 1: between Pennsylvania and Maryland.
36:22
Speaker 18: One of the things that we used to do before
36:25
Speaker 18: signing off on their little exams, and that was I
36:29
Speaker 18: have neither or I'm basically saying that I didn't lie
36:34
Speaker 18: cheater steel and that was that was something you know,
36:39
Speaker 18: Uba used to have like a single sanction, and I
36:44
Speaker 18: don't know if that still is part of the culture there,
36:48
Speaker 18: but yeah, it's one of those things that you.
36:52
Speaker 1: Know, this is what the person we were, we were
36:56
Speaker 1: talking about those commandments and that first one honor thy
37:00
Speaker 1: Lord God above all else. You know, people think, oh,
37:03
Speaker 1: you're just trying to force people into the Catholic Church.
37:05
Speaker 1: It's it's a humility reminder because we will give them
37:09
Speaker 1: the chance put ourselves ahead. Uh, and because we think
37:13
Speaker 1: we're so darn smart.
37:16
Speaker 18: I haven't visited the locker room that I helped pay
37:21
Speaker 18: for back in Virginia. But you know, Tony Bannon's can
37:24
Speaker 18: of be you know, honored with the floor, even though
37:28
Speaker 18: he really just you know, it's not about him. He
37:32
Speaker 18: quit because of all this nonsense going on with it.
37:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm hopeful that they, well I'm hopeful that
37:41
Speaker 1: he and several of these other folks like Nick uh
37:45
Speaker 1: oh gosh, Nick from Alabama, Nick Saban can come together
37:51
Speaker 1: and form a coalition to try to fix some of this,
37:54

44:12
Speaker 2: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
44:17
Speaker 2: the second most famous Thomas in Charlottesville.
44:25
Speaker 1: So we wrap things up this Ted's the morning. I
44:29
Speaker 1: appreciate your visits and just checking back in with our
44:43
Speaker 1: folks in British Columbia. The latest again going through but
44:48
Speaker 1: I know it's causing us all.
44:49
Speaker 20: To There are some moments I don't know what that was,
44:54
Speaker 20: the governor, provincial governor talking about hugging your kids and
45:00
Speaker 20: and saying a prayer and all the things that the
45:02
Speaker 20: American life.
45:03
Speaker 1: Tells you you're not supposed to do. The latest is
45:08
Speaker 1: so it's nine people, not ten, six inside the tumblr
45:13
Speaker 1: Ridge High School secondary school in northeast British Columbia. Two
45:20
Speaker 1: more found in a home nearby, which police believed to
45:24
Speaker 1: be connected to the shooting, and then the assailant who
45:29
Speaker 1: was found dead. She was dead from a self inflicted injury.
45:34
Speaker 1: The press has stopped referring to her as a female,
45:38
Speaker 1: though for the first twelve hours a woman walked in
45:42
Speaker 1: to the school with brown hair and a dress was
45:46
Speaker 1: the first report to British Columbia police, but now reports
45:51
Speaker 1: official reports through the press are a person a shooter.
45:59
Speaker 1: The The police spokesperson just earlier said they have identified
46:04
Speaker 1: the shooter, but said they will quote struggle to ever
46:10
Speaker 1: determine a motive for what has become the deadliest school shooting.
46:14
Speaker 1: The press rights in Canadian history, and that again warning
46:22
Speaker 1: flags to those who were like, well, what the hell
46:24
Speaker 1: is going on? Here in a country that is more
46:29
Speaker 1: restrictive on gun possession than any of the states, even
46:33
Speaker 1: New York, New Jersey. Virginia's trying with its gun laws.
46:43
Speaker 1: One student told the press, it felt like I was
46:46
Speaker 1: somewhere that I had only seen across a television. They've
46:50
Speaker 1: locked themselves into a lot of heroic children. High school
46:54
Speaker 1: children reacted and barricaded their classrooms when things started to
47:01
Speaker 1: go bad in the halls rather than panicking, and they
47:05
Speaker 1: should be lauded for their bravery and their clear headedness
47:10
Speaker 1: in the face of such things that no high school
47:13
Speaker 1: kids should ever think about. Was about one twenty local
47:17
Speaker 1: time the alert was issued. Residents of the small town
47:24
Speaker 1: were under shelter in place orders until about five point
47:29
Speaker 1: forty five pm Pacific. They have not released any more
47:37
Speaker 1: information about the assailants, including their age, citing privacy and
47:42
Speaker 1: a need to confirm and notify family first. And the
47:50
Speaker 1: trouble with this time and this instance is again it's
47:54
Speaker 1: another one of these instances where it the the news
48:02
Speaker 1: worthiness of it is really specifically for the Pacific Northwest.
48:07
Speaker 1: That which we are left to collect up here in
48:11
Speaker 1: the aftermath are about the things that people will say
48:15
Speaker 1: in our halls of government in the state capitals and
48:22
Speaker 1: talk about more gun laws as if that's going to help.
48:29
Speaker 1: And if the issue of school security comes up, there'll
48:33
Speaker 1: be people who will rail against it, saying that I
48:36
Speaker 1: don't want my kids feeling like they're going to school
48:39
Speaker 1: in a prison. Always hear it every time, especially in
48:44
Speaker 1: these rural and small town, exurban and rural schools. Where
48:51
Speaker 1: I moved out here so I didn't have to face
48:53
Speaker 1: all these troubles that they face in the big cities.
48:57
Speaker 1: Police officers patrolling the halls of inner city schools and
49:02
Speaker 1: metal detectors, and people move out to these beautiful I mean,
49:05
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the pictures of Tumblr Ridge, British Columbia,
49:09
Speaker 1: and is beautiful. It is in many ways reminiscent of
49:15
Speaker 1: western Albemarle County where we live, and eastern Augusta County
49:19
Speaker 1: and Blue Ridge Mountains rising up above some beautiful homes
49:24
Speaker 1: Waynesboro and Croze for those who are listening to us
49:28
Speaker 1: on our flagship station. And so understandably people move out
49:36
Speaker 1: to these places to get away from the trouble of
49:38
Speaker 1: the big cities. But what they miss and Jefferson Thomas
49:43
Speaker 1: Jefferson warned that, And I'm paraphrasing, but I think I'm
49:47
Speaker 1: pretty close to quoting Jefferson when he warned against quote
49:51
Speaker 1: piling on one another, as in big European cities, we
49:56
Speaker 1: will be susceptible to the same corruption as these big
50:02
Speaker 1: European cities, because you corrupt by thinking that somebody you know. Oh,
50:11
Speaker 1: and there's an anonymity in big cities, and I can
50:14
Speaker 1: blend into the crowd and so on and so forth.
50:17
Speaker 1: But what often winds up happening is those who are
50:21
Speaker 1: truly in trouble and in need are isolated in these places.
50:28
Speaker 1: They get isolated in these places, and then who do
50:32
Speaker 1: they turn to? Koreem asks. They disappeared the suicide note
50:41
Speaker 1: and social media. Yeah, they scrubbed that too, from early
50:45
Speaker 1: reports that they had found social media accounts tied to
50:48
Speaker 1: the assailant. Like I said, they've even scrubbed the gender
50:52
Speaker 1: of the assailant. When we came on the air four
50:56
Speaker 1: hours ago, it was there was still reporting that it
50:59
Speaker 1: was a woman, a female, and now it is just
51:05
Speaker 1: a person. So there are reorganizations of evidence and there's
51:15
Speaker 1: not going to be a criminal proceeding, and this becomes
51:17
Speaker 1: part and parcel of this is is that the secrecy
51:22
Speaker 1: involved in this, especially when the Assilian assailant has ended
51:27
Speaker 1: their own lives, becomes more of a battle of okay,
51:34
Speaker 1: what do we do next? How did we and where
51:38
Speaker 1: did we? And how did this person come to the
51:40
Speaker 1: point in their lives young lives. It seems like that
51:44
Speaker 1: this was the right answer, that whatever the issues were
51:48
Speaker 1: that were facing them, this was the right answer. And
51:52
Speaker 1: we exacerbate this these days in our Munchausien attempts to
51:57
Speaker 1: make kids who are expressing pain and suffering psychological pain
52:04
Speaker 1: and suffering, especially when it comes to their identities, when
52:08
Speaker 1: we tell them that there's nothing wrong and that the
52:11
Speaker 1: pain is real, and they're like, what do you mean
52:13
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong? And too often we see these instances
52:17
Speaker 1: where that pain remains real. And I don't know if
52:20
Speaker 1: that's the case in this one, but frequently we are
52:24
Speaker 1: ignoring the pain and suffering of our kids and our
52:28
Speaker 1: teens who have real issues, and instead of rather just saying, oh,
52:34
Speaker 1: will this is something we can make a political statement about,
52:37
Speaker 1: we should try to help them. I'm coming, I am Joe,
52:44
Speaker 1: and it is time for us to go until tomorrow
52:46
Speaker 1: morning at five, So long and thanks for all the fish.
52:52
Speaker 10: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
52:54
Speaker 10: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
52:58
Speaker 10: California based chiropractor with more than thirty years of experience,
53:02
Speaker 10: this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
53:05
Speaker 10: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
53:10
Speaker 10: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
53:13
Speaker 10: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
53:17
Speaker 10: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
53:21
Speaker 10: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
53:25
Speaker 10: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
53:28
Speaker 10: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
53:30
Speaker 10: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
53:34
Speaker 10: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
53:36
Speaker 10: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home,
53:39
Speaker 10: and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos
53:42
