Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas, Jewort.
0:07
Speaker 2: Said, steal me, step me have a day at least
0:12
Speaker 2: for work. When the sun comes up, drops a kid
0:14
Speaker 2: at the school the way Joe.
0:17
Speaker 3: Has everything a gender, all the jasus out of needs.
0:22
Speaker 3: No one that Joe's as smiled he all the eggs be.
0:29
Speaker 4: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to you.
0:35
Speaker 4: More importantly is we head into Memorial Day weekend. It's
0:41
Speaker 4: important to remember the families who have lost, not just
0:48
Speaker 4: the memory of those who served our country and lay
0:51
Speaker 4: down their life for it, but the families, children, spouses
0:59
Speaker 4: who carry on and with an entirely different kind of
1:04
Speaker 4: bravery than those who met their end in the battlefield.
1:13
Speaker 4: Life of service dedicated to a country, to a concept
1:18
Speaker 4: that if there is something that undergirds I think, and
1:24
Speaker 4: if I fail at this I apologize, undergirds everything we
1:30
Speaker 4: do here is that we here in the United States,
1:38
Speaker 4: have a responsibility, in my view, to those men and
1:44
Speaker 4: women who gave their lives for this country, to make
1:50
Speaker 4: sure this country lives up to everything that they died
1:55
Speaker 4: to protect, to promote, to share with the rest of
2:02
Speaker 4: the world, to liberate, and I don't think it would
2:12
Speaker 4: be a surprise to you to realize that. I don't
2:15
Speaker 4: feel like we often do enough of that. I think
2:19
Speaker 4: the media exacerbates the problem. I think we like to
2:23
Speaker 4: focus on the negative, so we get a feeling that
2:32
Speaker 4: the country is coming apart it, it seems, when the
2:36
Speaker 4: vast majority of us are not, and the vast majority
2:40
Speaker 4: of us want us to just be able to live
2:42
Speaker 4: and let live, and to enjoy our freedoms as much
2:48
Speaker 4: as our neighbor enjoys theirs. And that's the country that
2:56
Speaker 4: all those men and women who died in defence of
3:00
Speaker 4: it or to bring it about in the first place,
3:04
Speaker 4: did it for. And we can have a barbecue. But
3:10
Speaker 4: I again, like many three day weekends, this is perhaps
3:13
Speaker 4: the grand Pappy of all the ones. I worry about
3:16
Speaker 4: us forgetting why we have a three day weekend for
3:19
Speaker 4: it on our list of first things. This morning, Republicans
3:23
Speaker 4: struggled to find the votes yesterday to dismiss legislation that
3:28
Speaker 4: would stop President Trump from being able to continue any
3:33
Speaker 4: military actions with Iran. The House had a vote scheduled
3:39
Speaker 4: on a war powers resolution sponsored by Democrats that would
3:44
Speaker 4: restrict President Trump from using any other military actions, but
3:50
Speaker 4: as the day war on, Republicans did not have the
3:52
Speaker 4: numbers to defeat it, not just because there were Republicans
3:56
Speaker 4: who were aligned against it, but there were too many
3:58
Speaker 4: who weren't there. Judge on Thursday handed down a prison
4:03
Speaker 4: sentence of forty two years to Amy Bach, who was
4:08
Speaker 4: the woman in the center square of the Feeding Our
4:12
Speaker 4: Future controversy where two hundred and fifty million dollars taxpayer
4:18
Speaker 4: money vanished into fraud in the Minneapolis community. She said
4:25
Speaker 4: after the sentence was handed down, I understand I failed.
4:29
Speaker 4: I failed the public, my family and everyone. According to
4:35
Speaker 4: the DNC internal post mortem on the twenty twenty four
4:39
Speaker 4: presidential election, Kamala Harris quote wrote off Rural America. The
4:45
Speaker 4: document's key findings were released by DNC chair Ken Martin
4:53
Speaker 4: after internal frustration in not releasing the documents. He said
4:58
Speaker 4: the report was with hell after it was presented to
5:01
Speaker 4: him because quote, it was not ready for prime time,
5:05
Speaker 4: saying that it has annotations and disclaimers that were incomplete
5:10
Speaker 4: and unsubstantiated. Alberta, Canada is going to hold a referendum
5:16
Speaker 4: in October. They determined yesterday on whether or not to
5:20
Speaker 4: hold a referendum. On secession from Canada. Danielle Smith, the
5:29
Speaker 4: premier of the area, said voters instead will be deciding
5:33
Speaker 4: whether it's time to hold a referendum, although it is
5:37
Speaker 4: unclear in media coverage that the vote will not actually
5:41
Speaker 4: cause separation at that point. People set fire to an
5:46
Speaker 4: Abolda treatment center in eastern Congo Thursday after being stopped
5:52
Speaker 4: from retrieving a body of a local man. The arson
5:56
Speaker 4: attack in Wampara reflects challenges healthful workers are finding as
6:02
Speaker 4: tragedy befalls many in the community.
6:09
Speaker 5: Hi.
6:09
Speaker 6: This is Bud Foster, co host of Foster and Friends
6:12
Speaker 6: and former Virginia Tech football coach.
6:14
Speaker 4: When I brought the.
6:15
Speaker 6: Fame lunch fail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
6:18
Speaker 6: word win stood for what's important. Now, the Lunch Pail
6:21
Speaker 6: Defense Foundation realizes the importance of helping others. Our foundation
6:26
Speaker 6: is a nonprofit corporation that helps fund academic scholarship for
6:29
Speaker 6: eligible high school students. Since two thousand and nine, the
6:32
Speaker 6: Lunch Pail Defense Foundation is raised nearly four hundred thousand
6:36
Speaker 6: dollars and awarded over forty individual scholarships. We also support
6:40
Speaker 6: an organ transplant program in conjunction with Duke University Medical Center.
6:45
Speaker 6: For information regarding corporate sponsorship or becoming an individual supporter,
6:50
Speaker 6: log on to our site at lunch paildefense dot com.
6:53
Speaker 6: It's always been important to win, especially when we're helping others.
7:01
Speaker 7: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
7:04
Speaker 7: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
7:07
Speaker 7: to look into. And that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
7:10
Speaker 7: joining metas share can save you or your family up
7:13
Speaker 7: to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but
7:16
Speaker 7: it's also true. People are just happier with it. They
7:18
Speaker 7: love being part of something that reflects and promotes their
7:21
Speaker 7: values and what they believe in. Meda Share works too.
7:24
Speaker 7: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
7:27
Speaker 7: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
7:31
Speaker 7: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
7:35
Speaker 7: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
7:37
Speaker 7: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
7:40
Speaker 7: of your health care, whether you're self employed or part
7:42
Speaker 7: of the gig economy, or you just want to plan
7:44
Speaker 7: that you're happy with.
7:46
Speaker 4: Here you go.
7:46
Speaker 7: You can call right now and get a price within
7:48
Speaker 7: two minutes. A very very smart use of two minutes.
7:51
Speaker 7: Here's the number you need.
7:52
Speaker 8: It's eight five to five share forty eight five five
7:56
Speaker 8: share forty eight five five share.
7:59
Speaker 9: Forty Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
8:07
Speaker 9: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
8:12
Speaker 9: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
8:18
Speaker 9: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
8:22
Speaker 9: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
8:26
Speaker 9: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:31
Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:36
Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
Speaker 9: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

Speaker 11: Hi, everybody, I'm Jack Hannah. It's always a boy growing
10:01
Speaker 11: up on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
10:04
Speaker 11: I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
10:06
Speaker 11: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
10:08
Speaker 11: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
10:12
Speaker 11: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
10:15
Speaker 11: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
10:17
Speaker 11: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
10:21
Speaker 11: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
10:23
Speaker 11: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
10:25
Speaker 11: best friends, the Canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
10:29
Speaker 11: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
10:32
Speaker 11: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
10:35
Speaker 11: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
10:38
Speaker 11: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
10:41
Speaker 11: a change.
10:41
Speaker 12: In their blood chemistry.
10:43
Speaker 11: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
10:45
Speaker 11: contribute to society and help those in need. So please

11:10
Speaker 14: heart and brain.
11:12
Speaker 4: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 13: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my

11:23
Speaker 15: call for a ride when it's time to go home.

11:31
Speaker 12: costs go to heating and cooling energy efficiency isn't just
11:35

12:32
Speaker 17: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35

13:12
Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
13:17
Speaker 1: the second most famous tongue in Charlotte's Mill.
13:21
Speaker 20: As long as you're on the air, what's on your mind?
13:41
Speaker 1: Wondering you?
13:44
Speaker 4: Ever since it began, there's always been a because the
13:48
Speaker 4: Left is brilliant at this stuff. It's like Joseph Goebbels
13:51
Speaker 4: has been brought back to life and is messaging for
13:54
Speaker 4: the American Marxists, which is fair. I mean the Nationalist
13:58
Speaker 4: Socialist Party of German and now you have the American
14:01
Speaker 4: Socialists Party of America. Maybe we should call them Aazis
14:08
Speaker 4: or Nazis, Dazis. Yeah, that's it, Dazis. But ever since,
14:15
Speaker 4: you know, they come up with these brilliant messaging hashtags.
14:20
Speaker 4: We used to call it the chromium pulpit, the marvel
14:27
Speaker 4: at how well they could come up with something that
14:29
Speaker 4: could be distilled down into two words on a bumper
14:33
Speaker 4: sticker or one word. My favorite is coexist in all
14:38
Speaker 4: the different religious symbols, and I remember at some point
14:43
Speaker 4: being cut off and screamed at and flipped the bird
14:47
Speaker 4: by somebody who's Subaru had a big Coexist bumper sticker
14:51
Speaker 4: on the back of it, and I thought that was
14:53
Speaker 4: just that was America. Never mind what John Mellencamp thinks
14:57
Speaker 4: America is. I just shook my head and went on
15:01
Speaker 4: with my business. But one of those messages is black
15:07
Speaker 4: Lives Matter. Of course, you know that famous BLM hashtag
15:10
Speaker 4: black Lives Matter. What do you say, Joe, how do
15:13
Speaker 4: you fight that? How do you not sound racist? When
15:16
Speaker 4: do you do it? As well? You know, the very
15:17
Speaker 4: idea of a group mattering over an individual struck me
15:22
Speaker 4: that My rebuke was always your life matters. A T
15:26
Speaker 4: shirt somewhere in my drawer it says, hashtag your life matters.
15:31
Speaker 4: Because you know, the same happens with our veteran population,
15:36
Speaker 4: our veterans, the family members of those who've lost loved
15:41
Speaker 4: ones going into this Memorial Day weekend. They're not all
15:43
Speaker 4: the same. And if there is one singular place to
15:51
Speaker 4: begin looking in my bootoo where we've lost grip on
15:55
Speaker 4: this country, it's the fact that we do this mass formation.
16:02
Speaker 4: Everyone's part of some group, and you've lost all your individuality.
16:06
Speaker 4: And I hate. I hate very little. I hate to
16:10
Speaker 4: see people have that happen to them because the individual
16:18
Speaker 4: is such an amazing gift to us all. I try
16:23
Speaker 4: to get to know them all. It's a backbreaking affair
16:27
Speaker 4: to try to meet everyone, to talk to everyone. Thanks
16:30
Speaker 4: to my friends at the Learning RX, I'm doing better
16:32
Speaker 4: at remembering them as I meet them. But we're individuals.
16:39
Speaker 4: And maybe it's because I worked for decades in an
16:42
Speaker 4: industry where the one thing I can guarantee about you
16:46
Speaker 4: is you're sitting by yourself listening to this radio program.
16:51
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter how many of you are in aggregate.
16:55
Speaker 4: You are sitting alone. It's you and me in here,
17:00
Speaker 4: and maybe somebody calls in and joins the conversation, but
17:03
Speaker 4: it's just us looking for justice. So even in a
17:10
Speaker 4: Memorial Day, we can understand that the families of those
17:13
Speaker 4: who have lost loved ones are all coming at it
17:15
Speaker 4: and dealing with it from different places. We're all in
17:21
Speaker 4: this together, but not We're not all exactly the same.
17:24
Speaker 4: And that's the beauty of America is it is an
17:27
Speaker 4: amalgamation of individuals. It's not some homologous mass that can
17:36
Speaker 4: be treated as all the same. We can't can't can't
17:41
Speaker 4: lose that or that's one of those things that all
17:44
Speaker 4: those soldiers who lost those lives will have done it
17:47
Speaker 4: in vain for Let me get to you at four
17:50
Speaker 4: three four eight eight two four two one seven. Good morning.
17:53
Speaker 4: You're on the air with Joe. First thing this morning.
17:55
Speaker 4: Who's this?
17:57
Speaker 21: Good morning, Joe. It's Karim. How are you, sir?
18:00
Speaker 4: Good Happy Friday, Kareem. I hope you have some good
18:02
Speaker 4: plans for a Memorial Day weekend.
18:05
Speaker 21: I do stay and drying by most of it.
18:09
Speaker 4: I go to work.
18:11
Speaker 21: I bless your heart. I'm thankful you do.
18:13
Speaker 22: I'll call in tomorrow as well and say hello. Just
18:16
Speaker 22: want to hit a few different points. We no longer
18:19
Speaker 22: at least my understanding is have a tomb of the
18:21
Speaker 22: unknown soldier because due to our DNA testing, no one
18:26
Speaker 22: will go unnoticed. So I just wanted to see read
18:30
Speaker 22: from the internet. Since we have no unknown soldiers, we
18:34
Speaker 22: might as well know who those who are more we
18:38
Speaker 22: memorialize are. Ashley Brook Pruitt March twelfth, twenty sixteen, Sorry
18:46
Speaker 22: twenty twenty six from Margetown, Kentucky. I've sent you the
18:50
Speaker 22: link to the website of that's our official list of
18:53
Speaker 22: casualties so we can memorialize them and it wouldn't hurt.
18:58
Speaker 21: For us to know who their names.
19:00
Speaker 4: Official list of casualties casualties from what, from Iran.
19:04
Speaker 21: Everything Everything.
19:06
Speaker 4: There's more than one person on the list of casualties
19:09
Speaker 4: from Everything.
19:11
Speaker 22: Yes, yes, she's the most recent edition on that website.
19:15
Speaker 4: Oh okay, all right, I see what you're saying.
19:16
Speaker 21: Okay, yes, so the bless her soul.
19:23
Speaker 22: So there are some local news that you went over
19:26
Speaker 22: that I thought was very interesting and Grinny, you've got
19:31
Speaker 22: four hours to cover and there's only there's a whole lot.
19:33
Speaker 21: You can only choose so much.
19:34
Speaker 22: But I'm one of the things that there was a
19:37
Speaker 22: local news item where a toddler died, likely from staying
19:41
Speaker 22: in a hot car too long.
19:43
Speaker 21: That's season, yep, that's the charges. Now her forty two
19:47
Speaker 21: hot I'm sending her. It could be a little boy,
19:49
Speaker 21: little girl. I don't know it, but.
19:52
Speaker 22: Her forty two year old mother didn't neglect her because
19:55
Speaker 22: she went out drinking at the bar.
19:57
Speaker 21: She was at work. Is that?
19:59
Speaker 22: Did I hear the news correctly? She left in the
20:01
Speaker 22: car while ways at work and right, yes, right, okay,
20:06
Speaker 22: that's that's regrettable. That's awful and honestly, a forty having
20:12
Speaker 22: a toddler in your forties is no small matter. It's
20:16
Speaker 22: that that is something that hopefully changes in policy, not
20:19
Speaker 22: policy or the government says you're forced to do this,
20:21
Speaker 22: but certain concessions may be made by employers in the future, hopefully.
20:27
Speaker 22: Thanks crossed. Going on to that that lady who was
20:29
Speaker 22: sent us to forty two years, forty two and forty two.
20:33
Speaker 22: That's always the answer, isn't it, Joe, forty two years
20:36
Speaker 22: for fraudulently received coordinating two hundred and fifty million dollars
20:43
Speaker 22: in government funds in Minnesota.
20:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Minneapolis case, the fraud and the community that
20:51
Speaker 4: was sending the money back overseas. Yeah. That that that
20:54
Speaker 4: lady who earlier this week had said that she had
20:59
Speaker 4: told Ilhan Omar and other federal and state officials. Tim Walls.
21:06
Speaker 22: Just for comparison, Bernie Mattoff got sentenced to one hundred
21:09
Speaker 22: and fifty years for sixty five billion dollars worth of fraud.
21:16
Speaker 21: Just want to throw that out there, But just lady
21:18
Speaker 21: is likely going to die in.
21:19

22:13

22:15

24:31
Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:36

24:41

28:26
Speaker 4: Pardon, but you can call me Joe. See, those are
28:29
Speaker 4: those moments where you know we're not artificially intelligent generated
28:35
Speaker 4: AI would not have a guy just trying to get
28:38
Speaker 4: a swallow of first free in the morning coffee down
28:42
Speaker 4: right as the bumper music aim to close it A
28:47
Speaker 4: weird biology. I'd love to know the biology of why
28:50
Speaker 4: if you choke on some fluid that you've misswallowed. Swallowing
28:56
Speaker 4: more water actually helps do that anyway. But I want
28:59
Speaker 4: to pick up on something. So Kareem brought up a
29:03
Speaker 4: story out of Fredericksburg, Virginia of a baby perished during
29:10
Speaker 4: the heat snap we had in the middle of the week.
29:15
Speaker 4: Temperatures got up into the mid nineties, which was great.
29:19
Speaker 4: You know, my wife loves that, she is missus heat miser.
29:24
Speaker 4: She loves the warmer the better. But it reminds and
29:31
Speaker 4: I think, I don't want to presume, but I think
29:34
Speaker 4: where Kareem was going was that the young lady, forty
29:38
Speaker 4: two year old woman who's child it was, had gone
29:42
Speaker 4: into work and left the child in the vehicle and
29:49
Speaker 4: it was an infancy. And again under the auspices of
30:01
Speaker 4: where it's not everything is the same and everything every
30:04
Speaker 4: instance is unique and hashtag your life matters. We make decisions,
30:13
Speaker 4: we make choices, we make compromises on things that we
30:18
Speaker 4: need to do. You have to work, you need to
30:21
Speaker 4: make the money to take care of your family, and
30:33
Speaker 4: we need to be a team about it. We need
30:36
Speaker 4: to be a self associating team, all pulling on the
30:42
Speaker 4: oars in the same place. This is what family is about.
30:47
Speaker 4: We don't know the details of, but too frequently these
30:51
Speaker 4: are instances where the forty two year old was trying
30:56
Speaker 4: to get work done while also being left with no
31:01
Speaker 4: choice but to take care of her child as well,
31:05
Speaker 4: and trying to come up with a way to do both.
31:12
Speaker 4: And I think it's important for you and me to
31:15
Speaker 4: acknowledge that this is a reality. This isn't some you know,
31:19
Speaker 4: make believing this is another one of those poverty instances
31:24
Speaker 4: where the Marxists left will come running in saying, see,
31:30
Speaker 4: this is why we need to have universal taxpayer funded
31:34
Speaker 4: childcare from the birth to the you know, the moment
31:39
Speaker 4: they joined the government run schools. And there are better answers,
31:49
Speaker 4: but I think it begins with understanding the gravity of family.
31:57
Speaker 4: We have an ironically named organization called Planned Parenthood. Unfortunately,
32:03
Speaker 4: what they do has very little to do with parenthood
32:07
Speaker 4: outside of avoiding it, which is okay. If you don't
32:11
Speaker 4: want to be a parent, or you're not ready to
32:13
Speaker 4: be a parent, then don't be a parent. There are
32:17
Speaker 4: biological things that humans do with one another that make babies,
32:23
Speaker 4: and we need to be as judicious as we are
32:30
Speaker 4: in our beliefs that we need to take care of
32:32
Speaker 4: them in how we come about making them. I think
32:38
Speaker 4: that as a society we need to instill more gravity
32:45
Speaker 4: into the process. I think is the best way to
32:48
Speaker 4: say that without getting overly descriptive, and that both parties
32:55
Speaker 4: involved in making a baby. Guys need to do our part.
33:03
Speaker 4: How many times I've looked after our kids. My wife's worked.
33:09
Speaker 4: My wife would go after I was done with the
33:11
Speaker 4: morning stuff. And it's an upside of working in the
33:14
Speaker 4: hours I do. Kids aren't up. Teamwork makes the dream work.
33:24
Speaker 4: Is that wonderful, hackneyed expression, But it's true about parenting
33:29
Speaker 4: and about child rearing and what's heartbreaking beyond just the
33:33
Speaker 4: tragedy of a baby that lost its life way too soon.
33:43
Speaker 4: That's not a good phrase. I hate that phrase. It's
33:46
Speaker 4: another one of those hackneyed expressions that we in radio
33:48
Speaker 4: are taught to express. Because only God knows the dates
33:55
Speaker 4: of our departures, we can presume that the baby wasn't
33:59
Speaker 4: supposed to leave yet, but God gets to decide that.
34:03
Speaker 4: And maybe God decided this baby had to leave now
34:08
Speaker 4: so that we could have that discussion of making better families,
34:13
Speaker 4: so that there's a team to look after and raise
34:17
Speaker 4: the kids. Now it's not left to one person who's
34:20
Speaker 4: got to work and raise the kids and everything else.
34:24
Speaker 4: We're doing too many things in isolation from one another,
34:28
Speaker 4: where we're leaving each other out of the equation too frequently.
34:35
Speaker 4: And I know it doesn't happen to everybody, but it's
34:37
Speaker 4: a reminder of that gravity. We haven't even brushed the
34:45
Speaker 4: surface over the J six weaponization fund. Apparently that's become
34:50
Speaker 4: controversial in the same group amongst the same group of
34:54
Speaker 4: quote elected representatives that found it too controversial to say, hey,
34:59
Speaker 4: only you citizens should get on the voter rolls haven't
35:02
Speaker 4: gone there yet. But let me see who's on the
35:04
Speaker 4: phone first at four three four eight eight two four
35:07
Speaker 4: two one seven, Good morning, you're on the air with Joe.
35:09
Speaker 4: First thing this morning. Who's this?
35:12
Speaker 28: Hey, this is Moscow Bob. And you're absolutely right what
35:16
Speaker 28: you're talking about with parents be putting being put in
35:20
Speaker 28: difficult situations. But this also ties into like you're saying,
35:27
Speaker 28: God chooses when it's your turn. You can be at
35:30
Speaker 28: the best hospital with the best cardiac doctors and the
35:33
Speaker 28: best cardiac surgeon that God says it's time. Even the
35:38
Speaker 28: best tactics won't save your life.
35:40
Speaker 4: Well, look at what happened with the NASCAR driver, forty
35:43
Speaker 4: one year old Kyle Busch was from what I understand,
35:47
Speaker 4: well there.
35:49
Speaker 28: I'm waiting to see more about it because my question is,
35:54
Speaker 28: is one was the doctor and was here? Where was
35:59
Speaker 28: NASCAR ware of his medical situation before the race he
36:04
Speaker 28: even got into And why was he allowed to take
36:09
Speaker 28: an injection during a race and continue to drive Because
36:15
Speaker 28: isn't that technically if he's that medically sick, isn't he
36:19
Speaker 28: putting the other drivers at risk?
36:21
Speaker 4: Let me throw kind of you before people are saying,
36:24
Speaker 4: what's he talking about? There's audio from the most recent
36:28
Speaker 4: Cup Series race in Watkins, Glenn where apparently he was
36:31
Speaker 4: suffering a sinus infection. According to the team uh and
36:35
Speaker 4: he said to his crew chief, when when I get
36:38
Speaker 4: out of the car, I tell the doctor I need
36:40
Speaker 4: a shot. It wasn't during the race. He said it
36:43
Speaker 4: during the race, but he didn't get the shot during
36:46
Speaker 4: the race. But we don't know what the cool But
36:49
Speaker 4: the point I was making about medical care is I mean,
36:52
Speaker 4: this guy is is this team's you know, one of
36:57
Speaker 4: the team's moneymakers, and he's cared for and has died
37:00
Speaker 4: and and has people looking after him at the highest level.
37:05
Speaker 4: And so that was I was just musing that as
37:09
Speaker 4: an example of your point that it doesn't have to
37:11
Speaker 4: be just a poor person that can die tragically.
37:16
Speaker 28: But my hope and the point is, okay, because of
37:22
Speaker 28: who he was and with the healthcare he has and
37:25
Speaker 28: the test he has available to him, the question I
37:31
Speaker 28: have is, was this medical condition to the point where
37:35
Speaker 28: he should not mascars should have never allowed him or
37:38
Speaker 28: his doctor should have never allowed him to drive.
37:41
Speaker 4: Well, we don't know that. Yeah, that's going to have
37:43
Speaker 4: to be determined, because you know, these guys are hurtling around.
37:46
Speaker 4: He was in a simulator apparently according to what I'm
37:49
Speaker 4: told there. But but again the point is, you don't
37:53
Speaker 4: know when it is that your your time is up
37:57
Speaker 4: and and but my time is upright, he hang on.
38:02
Speaker 9: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent

44:10
Speaker 1: Absolute the first thing today on the Median Network by
44:15
Speaker 1: Show Thomas.
44:18
Speaker 4: I get leave this. You know, we spent so little
44:21
Speaker 4: time on Karen Bass yesterday and her statement that now,
44:29
Speaker 4: all of a sudden because all these hotels in Los
44:32
Speaker 4: Angeles are closing because they were about to bark on
44:38
Speaker 4: another one of the here hold my beer moments in California,
44:44
Speaker 4: they were going to force hotels to pay the most
44:51
Speaker 4: entry level position in the hotel thirty dollars an hour.
44:58
Speaker 4: Still not enough to live on in Los Ane, by
45:00
Speaker 4: the way, but the hotels can't make ends meet based
45:07
Speaker 4: on the taxes they have to pay to Los Angeles
45:10
Speaker 4: for having hotels face. So they were starting to close,
45:13
Speaker 4: big chains, little indies. They're all just getting ready to close.
45:19
Speaker 4: And Karen Bass, facing a crisis of not having enough
45:22
Speaker 4: hotel rooms for the Olympic Games, said, uh, we're gonna
45:27
Speaker 4: say we're gonna pause this roll out of the thirty
45:30
Speaker 4: dollars wage. How about that, please don't close. And I
45:38
Speaker 4: know we had some fun with the idea of glamp sites.
45:41
Speaker 4: Glamping is a thing that you basically pitch fancy you know,
45:47
Speaker 4: nineteenth century style euro tents, you know, like the rich
45:51
Speaker 4: upper class of Britain used to tour Africa in and then
45:57
Speaker 4: you know, you charge a lot of money for the
45:58
Speaker 4: rich people to go stay in these tents. I'm thinking
46:01
Speaker 4: LA has lots of tense space and just rend out
46:06
Speaker 4: few of those tents. Yeah, you might have to fumigate
46:09
Speaker 4: them a little bit, but this is another example. Sounds
46:13
Speaker 4: Oh wasn't great. We're gonna give you all more money,
46:16
Speaker 4: still not enough to live on. Oh and by the way,
46:19
Speaker 4: now you're out of a job. So now are you
46:21
Speaker 4: not getting thirty dollars an hour? You're getting when gods
46:24
Speaker 4: per hour? Can we finally have an adult conversation about this?
46:30
Speaker 4: I like this text message and we'll get to you
46:32
Speaker 4: on the phone. Text message from Terry who writes in
46:36
Speaker 4: You know, sometimes I think, Joe, you sound like a
46:39
Speaker 4: real leftist when you say things like maybe God's plan
46:43
Speaker 4: for the baby was to have us start this conversation.
46:46
Speaker 4: Then I listened to what you're saying about the conversation
46:49
Speaker 4: and I realized, oh my gosh, you can actually start
46:52
Speaker 4: from that point and have a conservative thought. Yes, that's
46:55
Speaker 4: the thing. The thing I was saying earlier in the
46:57
Speaker 4: show Terry is that the left doesn't say implausible things
47:02
Speaker 4: most of the time. They don't bring up implausible issues.
47:06
Speaker 4: It's their solutions to them, like Karen Bass and a
47:09
Speaker 4: thirty dollars an hour wage. How about you make it
47:13
Speaker 4: less expensive to live in Los Angeles and then whatever
47:18
Speaker 4: the hell you make working as a bus boy at
47:21
Speaker 4: the Marriott Bonvoy would be sufficient. Let me get to
47:28
Speaker 4: you at four three four eight eight two four two
47:30
Speaker 4: one seven. Join us on our ride this Friday morning
47:33
Speaker 4: into Memorial Day weekend. Good morning here? Who's this? Hey
47:37
Speaker 4: is Clark? Hey Clark? How are you, sir? I'm good Joe.
47:42
Speaker 5: Yesterday morning you were on the cusp the very verge
47:51
Speaker 5: of unprecedented talk radio breakthrough, never been done before, and.
47:58
Speaker 4: Then I screwed it up somehow snatch defeat from the
48:01
Speaker 4: jazz of victory? Is that what you're saying.
48:04
Speaker 21: You did not seize the moment.
48:07
Speaker 5: You had two callers, both of them I could kind
48:10
Speaker 5: of hear.
48:11
Speaker 4: At the same time.
48:13
Speaker 31: You could have let the two of them have a
48:15
Speaker 31: conversation while you wanted to get a cup of coffee
48:18
Speaker 31: unmoderated by a consummate radio professional, and just see what happens.
48:27
Speaker 4: I've hung out in enough pubs to understand there's not
48:29
Speaker 4: a long enough delay to make sure the salty language
48:34
Speaker 4: doesn't get into ears that don't want to hear salty
48:36
Speaker 4: language at this hour of the morning. And not that
48:39
Speaker 4: I distrust any of you to say untoward things. It just, yes,
48:46
Speaker 4: is conversation amongst groups of people really good to have,
48:50
Speaker 4: and I love having them. They're not great radio, as
48:54
Speaker 4: a matter of fact, because radio is an individual and
48:58
Speaker 4: I don't want to please I don't want to bore
48:59
Speaker 4: you with it stuff. This is just why certain things
49:02
Speaker 4: work certain ways on radio. To you and me, Clark,
49:07
Speaker 4: we are hanging out with one person who's got their
49:10
Speaker 4: radio on, who isn't in the conversation. You start adding
49:13
Speaker 4: too many people to that it becomes cacophonous and hard
49:19
Speaker 4: to listen to. That's why you listen to these morning
49:23
Speaker 4: Zoo shows. There's like sixteen people in the studio all
49:27
Speaker 4: at once.
49:28
Speaker 21: I never yeah, okay, I've never heard that.
49:30
Speaker 4: Well, it's hard because I used to have to quarterback
49:32
Speaker 4: one of those things, and you'd have your co host
49:37
Speaker 4: and the sports guy and the traffic person, and then
49:41
Speaker 4: the news person would come in, and everyone has and
49:44
Speaker 4: you're really sitting there pointing to the people. You talk next,
49:49
Speaker 4: you talk next, hang on, you talk next, and you
49:51
Speaker 4: spend your whole day just traffic copping so that there's
49:55
Speaker 4: never an instance of too many people talking at once,
49:59
Speaker 4: because you really have I have to respect the person
50:01
Speaker 4: who's listening and that they need to gobble into what's
50:06
Speaker 4: going on. Uh there.
50:08
Speaker 5: So that's cogent line of thought put forth.
50:12
Speaker 4: It's just right. So there is method to my madness.
50:18
Speaker 4: As a famous radio consultant one said, so what is
50:21
Speaker 4: on your mind before we run into the news here
50:23
Speaker 4: at six?
50:25
Speaker 5: I'm just fascinated with the Republicans coming out against the
50:31
Speaker 5: weaponization compensation fund. You know, our senators that are against
50:37
Speaker 5: this all voted for five hundred thousand dollars to them
50:45
Speaker 5: for every time Jack Smith, I legally accessed any of
50:49
Speaker 5: the senator stuff. And you know, now I do disagree
50:54
Speaker 5: with something about this weaponization compensation. We get to that
50:57
Speaker 5: and have a second. But you know, it's one thing
51:02
Speaker 5: when American citizens are the target of weaponization. I guess
51:06
Speaker 5: it's an entirely different one when senators are subjected to it.
51:11
Speaker 4: Well, you know, and I do. I looked into this.
51:13
Speaker 4: There is some devil in the detail stuff that I
51:16
Speaker 4: can't disagree with. But don't just throw the baby out
51:21
Speaker 4: with the bathwater, you know, because of this, and I
51:25
Speaker 4: think some of it is a you know, they're trying
51:28
Speaker 4: to get things. All of this stuff is is commerce.
51:31
Speaker 4: They're like, hey, I want something out of there, you
51:33
Speaker 4: want my vote? What do you what are you going
51:34
Speaker 4: to give me?
51:36
Speaker 24: And uh?
51:37
Speaker 4: And they're using the premise of some of the language
51:39
Speaker 4: being vague as to how it would and when, what
51:43
Speaker 4: would qualify. But it also highlights to me, Clark, the
51:47
Speaker 4: fact that there's not everyone in the government who's against weaponization,
51:51
Speaker 4: just weaponization against them.
51:53
Speaker 21: Who's who's this weaponize against?
51:55
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, we might want to use some of this
51:58
Speaker 4: apparatus at some point, you know. And that's and that's
52:01
Speaker 4: always been the hang up is is the more we
52:04
Speaker 4: give the government that it can do, uh, the more
52:07
Speaker 4: it's going to do and the more it's going to
52:09
Speaker 4: boil down to protecting itself, uh, for you know, it's
52:15
Speaker 4: and and painting its own picture and and and defending
52:20
Speaker 4: its own place. Because nothing is in a vacuum. Everything happens,
52:26
Speaker 4: uh because somebody wants it to. And this all rolls
52:30
Speaker 4: back to I hate to make it sound so simple,
52:33
Speaker 4: but the government of the United States currently has authority
52:37
Speaker 4: over so many things that it has no constitutional backing
52:42
Speaker 4: for that authority that they have to, you know, work
52:47
Speaker 4: on forcing people to accept that authority. My name is Bobby.
52:52
Speaker 16: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
52:55
