  Speaker 1: We'll do it live.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. We'll do it live. First thing
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: And we'll do it live.
• 0:12
  Speaker 4: Joe works at a steel mill.
• 0:14
  Speaker 5: He's damn near every day.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:19
  Speaker 6: Drops a kid to school a long way.
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:30
  Speaker 7: He only aims to please you.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes. Thank you for letting me be of
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: service to you this morning. And I mean that in
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: several ways. We're going to have a story a little
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: bit later on that's going to sound self-serving. But if
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to serve myself, who else is? But
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: mainly I'm here to serve you and to make sure
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: your day gets going as best it can. Or you
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: wrap it up, depending on where you are. Feel bad
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: for my friends. We've got some great listeners in Portland
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: and in Salem. And I'm not sure why you have
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: to be the center square of why we have to
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: hear from Tonya Harding again. But apparently she's out skating again.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: 55 years old. God bless her. I mean, I have
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: a tough time climbing my stairs and she's going to
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: start skating again. Okay, you know. Be careful of your knees.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: You know, wouldn't it be ironic if she was like
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: sponsored by some orthopedic company that did knee replacements? I mean,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: you'd have to appreciate the irony in that, wouldn't you? Hello?
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Is this thing on? I want to thank you for
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: allowing us to do what we do each and every day,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: because if you don't grab your knob and turn, well,
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: nothing's going to happen anyway. to me either. We also
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: have news out of the campaign trail, President Trump visiting
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: one of our affiliate cities in Daytona Beach yesterday. And,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: you know, somebody asked me, he listens to us in
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: the mornings on the weekdays at WROD down there. And
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: it's like, how can we get, these are kind of
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: closed hole events. You know, they go out to individuals
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: who they know are going to be there. And even then,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: there are hecklers in the crowd in Daytona Beach. We'll
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: get into some of that. Also, I mentioned the awkward
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: situation going on with one of the news networks. Bridge replacement.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: In all places, the Hamptons shouldn't be worried about bridge replacements.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: But that's okay. We'll get into that as well. I mean,
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: what are we going to do? Well, you know, the
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: ferries used to be really good. And I'm going to
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: keep all my Fire Island comments. My dad had dear
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: friends who had a great house out on Fire Island.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: And we used to go out there quite frequently when
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: I was a young lad. And I've lived to tell
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: the tale. So we begin with our first things this
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: morning enough. Put up or shut up, Joe. You keep
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: telling us all these great stories you have, so begin. U.S.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Department of Justice pushed Friday for a court order to
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: isolate certain Alaskan ballots to investigate potential voter confusion, keeping
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: in mind that Alaska, thanks to the Murkowski family, uses
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: ranked choice voting to make sure that there's always somebody
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: named Murkowski that will win an election. And since that's
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: not the case, we just get as many Dan Sullivans
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: on the ballot. Speaking of Dan Sullivan, the other Dan Sullivan,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: he's gone missing. I'm not kidding. The independent candidate at
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: the center of the voter confusion allegations and whether or
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: not the Democrat candidate in the Democrat Senate committee were
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: elbow deep in recruiting Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., retired teacher,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: has disappeared. He was last seen Monday boarding a flight.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: This is Monday. It's Saturday today. He was last seen
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: on Monday on a flight from Petersburg to Anchorage, according
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: to a former student who spoke to CBS News, who
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: just realized there's an election in Alaska and there may
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: be a story up there. Meanwhile, in the Oval Office
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: before heading to Daytona Beach, President Trump welcomed home Stephen Hubbard.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: The 74-year-old retired teacher from Michigan was released after the
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Russians had arrested him for fighting as a mercenary for Ukraine.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Humanitarian convoy carrying residents from the Russian-controlled city of Oleshky
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: in Ukraine has reached the Crimean Peninsula, witnesses said Friday.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: They said the convoy of buses crossed into Crimea from
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: the Kurshan region of Ukraine. Residents began evacuating on Friday
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: as part of the relief effort brokered by First Lady
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Melania Trump and others. Department of Justice warned state election
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: officials Thursday that willfully failing to preserve federal election records
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: is a crime punishable by up to a year in prison. Meanwhile,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: a federal judge Friday barred the Trump administration from, quote,
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: threatening election workers with criminal prosecution for counting ballots cast
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: by registered voters whom federal officials suspect are ineligible. And
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of legalese in there. Stay tuned. We
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: will unpack some of that. Justice Department is reviewing allegations
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: of election interference in Maine after surveillance footage from Lewiston
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: City Hall raised questions about whether interpreters properly directed Somali
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: voters towards Democrat candidates. Did they need that? Weren't they
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: paid to do that? Those are our first things this morning.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Our friends at JCSGold.com want to be the family answer
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: to corporate gold and silver investment firms. You know, you
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: get these on Wall Street. You know, you don't have
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: to watch The Wolf of Wall Street. Heck, I went
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: to high school with the guy. Not kidding. Bayside High School,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Jordan Belfort, Joe Thomas, and Eric Adams, class of 81.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Go Commodores. But you know what happens when you call
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: these investment companies, especially even gold and silver. and they're
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: starting to upsell you, you feel like, am I getting
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: advice or am I getting upsold? Not so with the
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Jefferson Coin Shop. JCSGold.com will help you navigate gold and silver. And, phew, man,
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: what a day for gold. Down $ 146. Let's see.
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: If something costs less, a lot less, but people are
• 7:04
  Speaker 8: actually happier with it, that sounds like something to look into.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: And that's Metashare.
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: Maybe you've heard joining MediShare can save you or your
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: family up to $ 500 a month, and that's huge, but
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: it's also true. People are just happier with it. They
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: love being part of something that reflects and promotes their
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: values and what they believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: MediShare works, too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: It's been around for 30 years now, and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: shared more than $ 7 billion of each other's bills. People
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network, so
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: MediShare Yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: of your health care, whether you're self-employed or part of
• 7:42
  Speaker 8: the gig economy, or you just want a plan that
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: you're happy with.
• 7:46
  Speaker 9: Here you go.
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: You can call right now and get a price within
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: two minutes. A very, very smart use of two minutes.
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: Here's the number you need.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: It's 855-SHARE-40. 855-S-H-A-R-E-40. 855-SHARE-40.
• 8:03
  Speaker 10: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:12
  Speaker 10: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 10: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 10: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 10: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 10: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 10: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 10: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 8:47
  Speaker 10: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52
  Speaker 10: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57
  Speaker 10: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 11: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 11: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 11: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 11: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 11: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 11: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 11: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 11: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 11: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 11: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 11: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 11: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 11: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 12: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 12: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 12: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 12: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 12: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Who work hard to provide for their young.
• 10:14
  Speaker 12: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 10:17
  Speaker 12: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 10:20
  Speaker 12: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 12: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 12: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 12: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
• 10:33
  Speaker 12: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 12: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 12: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 12: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 12: trained roles that contribute to society.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: And help those in need.
• 10:47
  Speaker 12: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 12: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 12: planet we inhabit together. Go to americanhumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 14: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 15: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 14: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 14: somebody call me a ride. Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:26
  Speaker 13: Boop!
• 11:28
  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
• 12:07
  Speaker 16: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 16: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 16: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18
  Speaker 16: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.
• 12:24
  Speaker 16: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 16: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: As a family member or friend you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: going through changes things like withdrawing drinking more or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: but help is available Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

• 12:53
  Speaker 5: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: This is Independence from Virginia. Again, first thing today by
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: All right, well, Roku and Instagram.
• 13:23
  Speaker 17: OnlyFans.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Hey, Joe.
• 13:52
  Speaker 13: Joe.
• 13:53
  Speaker 17: Who's your target audience with this First Thing Today program
• 13:57
  Speaker 17: you do?
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Everybody.
• 14:00
  Speaker 17: No, no, really.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: Who's your target audience? Is it affluent women, 65 and up?
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: What am I, Max Bialystock? We all have to have
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: these statistics and we all have to have our demographics
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: and we all have to narrow cast, which was not
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: what I got into this to do. So pardon me
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: if I don't get into the narrow casting that the
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: consultant class likes to get into. But I want to
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: share something with you. And I feel bad for some
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: of my friends who are caught up in this. And
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: I've been there and I've done that. I've worked for
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: big corporations. I've worked for iHeart. I've worked for Odyssey.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: And I've worked with Westwood One, CBS, whatever they're called
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: these days. Cumulus. Never for them, though. But I've had
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: those passive-aggressive ways. The memo gets circulated.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Hey!
• 15:12
  Speaker 13: Hey!
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: We've developed a brand new prep service for you that
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: makes it easy for you to prepare your morning show.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Just go on to iHeart.com slash morning prep and we'll
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: give you all the stories you need to send. And yes,
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: that counts for the news stations as well. So when
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: I saw this story, about Fox Corporation's industrial giving. Their first,
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: to be fair, I saw it at Newsmax.com. And Newsmax,
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: still salty because Fox News, forgetting that ABC and CBS
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: tried to bar them from White House coverage, turned around
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: and said, well, we're going to do it to Newsmax now.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: And there's going to be bitterness and whatnot. But this
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: is statistically accurate. And it ties into something I wrote
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: for DailySignal.com. I'm a columnist for DailySignal.com, and you can
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: read my stuff. There's some links to the stories directly
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: on my social media at SevilleJoeThomas. But my most recent
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: one is titled Lies, Damn Lies, and Polls. And polls
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: are only as good as how many news networks pick
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: them up. And this is why most polls that get
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: published are paid for by the news organization that publishes them. Really, Joe?
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: Today's edition of patently obvious. But it's not because they
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: mention it or if they mention it at all, it's
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: in the last sentence. Blowhard News paid for this poll,
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: the last line of the column, or if they mention
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: it at all on the air. It'll be quickly at
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: the beginning. Ipsos Facto Polling, in coordination with Blowhard News,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: did this poll of 212 likely voters across the country
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: and have said Donald Trump is going to be dragged
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: and drawn and quartered Tower Bridge. And it's all done,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: as I point out in the column I wrote, to manipulate,
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: to vote suppress. I compared the tactics of these push
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: pollers to the people who wrote the poll tax laws
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: of the Jim Crow era. Don't want that community voting.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: In Jim Croyer, it was the black people, and now
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: it's the conservatives, many of whom are black people again.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Funny how things go full circle, isn't it, boys and girl?
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: So anyway, so you are being inundated with narrative. You
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: are being told, don't vote for Trump because, and insert
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: because here. He said no news. You can watch Tucker
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Carlson or Candace Owens and get exactly what this is.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: And actually, Tucker Carlson is a great example of this.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Tucker Carlson apparently never believed his character. He was playing
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: a character much like Clint Eastwood plays a character or
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Michael Keaton plays a character. Does Michael Keaton run around
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: jumping across walls? fire escapes, fighting crime. No, he's an actor.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: At one point, he played Batman. Tucker Carlson is a
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: less well-trained actor, but at one point, he played a
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: conservative on television because it was his role. They're like, oh, look,
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: that's anachronistic, a young person with a bow tie playing
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: a conservative. Well, let's cast that role. And it is.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: It's casting. It's television. Television is about casting. So when
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: you see the story about Fox Corporation's political contributions. This
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: isn't Fox News. This is the parent company, Fox Media,
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Fox U, or whatever it is. No, that's their training
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: program is Fox U. I'm sorry, I forgot. Hundreds of
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: thousands of dollars in contributions, this will surprise you little,
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: to Democrat candidates and left-wing political committees in the last
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: election cycle. This according to, oh, what's the progressive site that, oh, no,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: it's the Federal Election Commission records. Fox alone gave minority
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: leader Hakeem Jeffries $ 2, 500, Ted Lieu $ 2, 500. Now, to be fair,
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: they also gave like $ 175, 000 to Republicans and Republican committees.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: They gave $ 10, 000 to the Congressional Black Caucasians, as Rush
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: used to call them. I used to laugh my ass
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: off every time I called them that, especially after they
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: told Allen West that he wasn't welcome in the Congressional
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: Black Caucus, despite being a congressman and black. And they
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: also gave $ 10, 000 to something called the New Democrat Coalition
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Action Fund. So when you see, what's her name, Zakaria
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: get filleted by Sean Hannity on Fox. And, you know,
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: she's out there. She was telling Piers Morgan how shocked
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: she was that how mean to her Sean Hannity was.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Sean Hannity is one of the nicer people you will
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: ever meet. I hate to tell you this. So is
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Brian Kilmeade. Somewhere there's a photograph in social media of
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: me and Brian Kilmeade, hey guys, showing off an autographed
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: WRCN denim jacket for our friends listening on Long Island
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: News Radio. He's a great guy. He's actually a really
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: good person. But they work for someone. So as people...
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: Big and powerful as you think Sean Hannity is, he
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: understands that that's only based on the network he's carried on. So,
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: you know, fillet up some one-week press secretary to make
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: your bona fides. and to make sure everyone looks like they're.
• 22:01

  Speaker 6: the offshore wind industry. Moving equipment, installing turbines, transporting crews,

  Speaker 6: it's a huge opportunity, and we're proud to be a.

• 24:03
  Speaker 10: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 17: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 10: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 10: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 10: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 24:51
  Speaker 10: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

• 25:59
  Speaker 1: And now a speech. I just want to say that
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: friendship is about heart.
• 26:06

• 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 17: Me too.

  Speaker 3: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

  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
• 26:36
  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. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 16: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 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
• 26:58
  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.
• 27:09
  Speaker 16: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Play golf all day with the heads of state. If
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: they brought beer, wouldn't that be great?
• 28:24
  Speaker 10: I can't wait.
• 28:26
  Speaker 19: Well, there's an.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Awful lot of issues important to me.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Here's my campaign policy.
• 28:35
  Speaker 13: Education, arbitration, equalization, United Nations, race relations.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Classicalization.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Accusation.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: Violation.
• 28:47
  Speaker 13: Trafficking.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: Realization.
• 28:49
  Speaker 19: I'm freaking out.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: Satterized for your protection because there's one thing the puffed
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: ones dislike the most is when we point out or
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: in some cases try to deflate their puffiness there. Do
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: you know? why I didn't go to school for 20
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: years just to get in line behind people like you.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, these people, it's such an abomination on everything
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: that this country was founded on. Many, many years ago,
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: there was a book published, just strikes me as appropriate
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: to tell you this. It was a book published, an educator,
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: a teacher in, I believe it was Portland, I'm not sure.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: I have to go look. I mean, I'm talking 2006,
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: maybe 2000. No, it was probably 2007, 2008. My friend
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: Hank called me on this. Good, dear friend. He's been
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: my friend for 20 plus years, you know, through listening.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: But Hank called me on this. The young lady was
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: talking about a book she had published in which she
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: had translated the Federalist Papers into language understandable by fifth graders,
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: and to which Hank called and said, isn't that sad, Joe?
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: The Federalist Papers were written for people who had no
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: formal education in the 18th century. These were these were
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: letters to the editor sent to farmers or published so
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: that farmers would read them in their newspapers explaining the U.S.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Constitution and the Bill of Rights and what the compact
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: was all about. They were written to be read by
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: people by 18th century standards that had no education whatsoever,
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: and now we have to translate them so a fifth
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: grader can understand it? I think that may have been
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: the genesis of Jeff Foxworthy's wonderful game show, Are You
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? Because apparently the numbers may
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: be skewed the other direction. So anyway, so why is
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: it important to tell you why faux news or Fox News,
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: Fox News, Guy Fox News is paying all this money
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: to Democrats? And then, you know, Sean Hannity starts to eviscerate.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Trump staffers for nothing more than getting let go or
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: asked to resign within a week. And a lot of
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: people chalked it up to, you know, Sean is jealous
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: because Sean has wanted to be President Trump's press secretary
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: for as long as there's been a President Trump. And that,
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: you know, that's a New York thing. That may just be,
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: you know, anyone. Heck, I've been accused of wanting to
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: do that. But there's a bigger thing at hand because
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: media people love progressives. You want to know why? Because
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: progressives think like media people. Media people are desperately populist.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: We wake and bed ourselves on the idea of how
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: can I make myself more popular? What can I say?
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: that is going to make more people love me. And
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: this is what progressives do. It's what the Democrat Party
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: platform is. Every plank, if you take the varnish off
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: of it, is a piece of love me more wood. Then,
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: because people like George Soros and Michael Bloomberg have tons
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: of money, They also invest in these media companies and
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: these media programs to help tell their story. Not your story,
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: their story, their story. And it's funny, the more they
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: yell about cronyism and emoluments clauses, nobody ever asked Michael
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: Bloomberg how does a guy who basically runs a newspaper
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: and an online news service based mostly or supposedly around
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: business become as wealthy as you are. How'd that happen?
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump, Donald Trump can't buy a box of tissues
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: at Costco without calling it a violation of the emoluments clause.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: So why is it important? Go to my column and
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: I'm going to paraphrase a little bit of it here,
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: but dailysignal.com and it's called Lies, Damn Lies and Polling.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: And it talks about how they parse and they slice.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: And this really is a master's class. I had several
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: people retweet and, you know, people in the Charlottesville area
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: calling it great. Where were you when my previous employer
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: was running me out of town on a rail and
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: several stacks of indictments? But the use of these.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: Polls and the predictions is because we have a natural
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: inclination to want advice. Don't you? I mean, one of
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: the reasons I think that so many of you call
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: the JCSgold.com folks is because I've made it clear they're
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: not trying to upsell you something. And there's nothing wrong
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: with upselling. I'm not some Marxist who said that, but
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: just understand they're not giving you advice. They're upselling you.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: They're giving you advice that benefits them, not you. You
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: know it. You understand it. You become inoculated. Am I
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: allowed to use that word or is Pfizer copyrighted it?
• 35:16
  Speaker 9: Anyway. Anyway.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: So my point being is if you go to my column,
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: it breaks down how Larry Sabato can tell you that
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: it's one of the most notable folks. This is his
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: time of year. It's like Christmas for Larry Sabato. The
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: Center for Politics, the crystal ball. At one point, he
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: picked 433 out of 435 congressional races in a row.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: But then you say, well, what do you mean pick them?
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: And you look into what his own statistical outcomes are.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: And the Center for Politics, as chronicled in research done
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: about his website and other prognosticators— says that when he
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: says I have a 90-plus percent success rate, he's lying.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: He has a 90% success rate with the 20 or
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: 30 or so polls that everyone knows. You know, Ted Cruz,
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: you know, whatever. And you tie that in, as my
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: column does, with this story out of Michigan where Wedgwood Polls,
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: in what they called after the fact, oh, we were
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: just experimenting, ended the campaign of Mallory McMorrow so that
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: Abdul El-Sayed could be the Democrat primary winner. You see
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: what they do. And my column points out Marquette University
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: research that said it favors Democrats if there's a low
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: voter turnout. So when they go on the stump and say,
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: We want everyone to go out and vote. They mean
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: everyone who's going to vote for them. And so when
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: you see these news agencies and their campaign contributions, either
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: it be direct or tacit, they're part and parcel part
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: of this. When you look at Larry Sabato's success rate
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: of his predictions, only about 60%. That might make his
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: advice a little bit more Likely for you to say, oh, okay, well,
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's one guy's opinion. Because mostly because polls
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: are begun with a theory, who's most motivated to vote. Oh,
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: I saw a lot of no Kings rallies going on.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: So I think the Democrats are really paid to go
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: out and be activists.
• 38:02
  Speaker 10: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44
• 38:05
  Speaker 10: herbal supplements had no trace of the advertised herb. Don't
• 38:10
  Speaker 10: let that happen to you.

  Speaker 18: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 18: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them, nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 18: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.

• 40:15
  Speaker 13: Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 18: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your

  Speaker 18: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.

  Speaker 18: Much good to your community. Goodwill, bring good home.

  Speaker 20: Exercise is hard, so is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 20: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 20: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 20: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 20: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 20: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 20: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 20: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 20: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 20: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

• 43:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 14: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  Speaker 14: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42
  Speaker 14: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: Let us sit upon the ground and tell scary stories
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: of the death of kings.
• 44:37
  Speaker 12: So on this All Hallows Eve, and a reminder, you know,
• 44:39
  Speaker 12: I was telling you to a Christian friend of mine
• 44:41
  Speaker 12: who unfortunately misunderstands.
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: That there is a holiday underneath all the Batman costumes
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: and SpongeBob get-ups. And it's a time that we honor
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: those that trod the soil before us. Our relatives, our elders,
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: those that have taught us everything we need to know.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: At some point in the program, I'll tell you what
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: my traditional costume has always been and why everyone got
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: it wrong. And I was just too oblivious to pop
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: culture to understand why. Because I'm sometimes just like that.
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: But that's how you get this, all from me.
• 45:42
  Speaker 10: Dr.
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: Clark's on the line. He would like to participate as
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: we sit on the ground and tell scary stories of
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: the death of kings. Good morning, Clark. Happy Halloween.
• 45:55
  Speaker 17: So people like scary stories on Halloween, Joe, Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, Freddy,
• 46:02
  Speaker 17: Michael Myers, and Jason.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: Sit back and listen to a.
• 46:06
  Speaker 17: Story more horrifying than anything Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley, or
• 46:11
  Speaker 17: Clive Cussler could have ever imagined.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 46:16
  Speaker 17: It was in the time of the midterm. Bogus polls,
• 46:21
  Speaker 17: medialized communist agitprop, and just plain sloth lowered voter participation
• 46:28
  Speaker 17: sufficiently to allow Democrats to gain the control of the House.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 46:33
  Speaker 17: It became the House of Horror.
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: The DSA.
• 46:39
  Speaker 17: The deceptive socialist abominations were soon running things. Too radical
• 46:49
  Speaker 17: for Hakeem Jeffries. Too horrifying for the angry grasshopper man,
• 46:53
  Speaker 17: James Carville.
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: Brains. Silver Bullets.
• 47:00
  Speaker 17: Garlic Garland's crucifixes won't protect you. If you stay home,
• 47:05
  Speaker 17: this will be theater near you. Don't find out how
• 47:11
  Speaker 17: many biscuits it takes to win an election. If you know,
• 47:15
  Speaker 17: you know. If you don't, that's on you.
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: Very scary. Very scary indeed. We may have to save
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: that and make it a Halloween tradition. You must be
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: very popular around the campgrounds in Alabama.
• 47:35
  Speaker 17: There you go. So what about the biscuit story, Joe?
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: Did you see that? I have it here on the pile.
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: I haven't gotten into it yet. It's in the triage
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: room waiting to be sorted through.
• 47:50
  Speaker 17: How many biscuits does it take to win an election
• 47:53
  Speaker 17: is what I want.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: To know.
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Are we talking about who was the
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: South Carolina chef that got in trouble because, well, she
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: was a white woman from South Carolina.
• 48:06
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: Her show was brought to you on the Food Network
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: by Land O'Lakes. Just more butter, more butter, more butter.
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: You couldn't have enough butter. And if you didn't have butter,
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: lard would suffice. Oh, I can't remember her name. She's
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: still around. She and her kids have a bunch of restaurants,
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: I believe, around Savannah. But, you know, are we talking
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: herb biscuits, which are mostly butter and a little flour
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: just to hold the butter together? Or are we talking
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: like the stuff they put out at the all-you-can-eat buffet
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: at the— Howard Johnson's I stayed at at CPAC.
• 48:50
  Speaker 17: Yeah, no, I'm talking about the felon Beagle Mix that
• 48:53
  Speaker 17: died five years ago that now has the right to vote.
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: But this is the amazing thing that, you know, every
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: time one of these stories comes up, And we're told, oh,
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: you know, what does it begin? It begins with there
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: is no voter fraud and we have the most secure
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: elections ever. And then it becomes, well, OK, there was. some,
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: but it certainly wasn't enough to change the vote. And
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: there's like, oh, well, that's just college kids pulling a prank.
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: I was like the time guy got his dog registered
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: to vote in California and gleefully publicized that the dog
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: had successfully voted twice before anyone at the State Board
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: of Elections caught him on it.
• 49:46
  Speaker 17: Well, my favorite part of that whole story was Biscuit's
• 49:52
  Speaker 17: owner said Biscuit was a good girl, and he didn't
• 49:55
  Speaker 17: believe she was ever a felon.
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: And can you charge a different breed? I mean, do
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: you have to have a special prison... for, you know,
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: voters like that. I mean, it's possible. But this is,
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: you know, I said this, you know, my dear friend
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: Angelina Delphine, and I don't know what our Saturday roster is.
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: I don't know if KMET carries us out there in
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: San Bernardino or if we're on KFIR in Sacramento like
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: we normally are during the week. But she writes for
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: the Daily Signal, as do I, and she covers California politics.
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: And on Monday's pitch meeting, you know, when we're all
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: gathered in a Zoom meeting to tell the editors, here's
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: what we're working on. She held up five ballots that
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: had all been mailed to her address to different people's names. Now, obviously,
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: you know, signing something with somebody else's name is a felony.
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: Using the U.S. mail to commit a felony is another felony.
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: So and then I believe there's more statutes involved with
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: casting a ballot for someone else without their permission. So
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: if you can set aside those felonies, you know, it's
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: a pretty easy gig to to go out and get
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: a vote cast.
• 51:21
  Speaker 17: So in baseball, Joe, what's a balk?
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: So when the pitcher doesn't stop thoroughly before throwing the pitch.
• 51:32
  Speaker 17: I would say it's anything the umpire says it is.
• 51:36
  Speaker 17: Because that's pretty much what a balk is. I mean,
• 51:39
  Speaker 17: that's how well it's defined. So we live in a
• 51:42
  Speaker 17: time now where a felony is pretty much anything you
• 51:49
  Speaker 17: can get a judge to say it is at this
• 51:51
  Speaker 17: point in time. And so long as you got the Bosebergs,
• 51:57
  Speaker 17: You commit all the felonies you want. No, that's not
• 52:01
  Speaker 17: a felony. No, that's not a felony. Well, it's good
• 52:05
  Speaker 17: to control the prosecutors, too. I guess Soros had money
• 52:09
  Speaker 17: well spent.
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: Well, this is another thing like, you know, Alexander Hamilton's
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: implied powers. It's these it's judicial. And I'll have I'll
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: have folks who have worked as commonwealth attorneys tell me
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: that prosecutorial discretion is an important tool. and I don't
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: argue with their zealousness for being able to tell somebody, hey,
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: tell me who the big boss is, and I won't
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: charge you with this. But I think at some point
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: this has gone too far, and we wind up with
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: prosecutors who are like, yeah, I just don't feel like
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: charging this guy with a felony for having his dog
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: registered to vote. My name is Bobby.
• 52:52
  Speaker 14: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:55
  Speaker 14: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
• 52:58
  Speaker 14: weightlifting champion.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: I'm Sam. I'm a veteran.
• 53:02
  Speaker 13: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
• 53:04
  Speaker 13: of and supporting my family.
• 53:06
  Speaker 9: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
• 53:09
  Speaker 9: of their lives.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: I'm a veteran.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: My victory was going from homeless to home.
• 53:14
  Speaker 9: At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get
• 53:17
  Speaker 9: the benefits they've earned.
• 53:19
  Speaker 20: I'm a veteran, and my victory was finishing my education.
• 53:23
  Speaker 9: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support.
• 53:27
  Speaker 9: for victories great and small.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: My victory was proving that disability is not a limitation.

  Speaker 20: My victory was getting my service dog a new best friend.
• 53:36
  Speaker 9: We help more than a million veterans every year as
• 53:38
  Speaker 9: they face and conquer their challenges.
• 53:40
