- 0:49Speaker 6: a Monday through Friday 9 to 5 economy, they still
- 0:53Speaker 6: think that they can sneak Sally out the alley on
- 0:56Speaker 6: a Friday afternoon. Bad stories, embarrassing things, admissions of guilt
- 1:02Speaker 6: all come out on Friday afternoon. so that maybe the
- 1:08Speaker 6: world of the 1970s, when we all had honey-do lists
- 1:12Speaker 6: and we got up late on a Saturday and had
- 1:14Speaker 6: two cups of coffee and then went to the hardware store,
- 1:17Speaker 6: and the only phrase big box had anything to do

- 1:54Speaker 6: you live from the Strip. We'll probably be, definitely we're
- 1:58Speaker 6: going to be back out there in the summer for
- 2:00Speaker 6: Freedom Fest. I've already talked to the Skousens about that.
- 2:05Speaker 6: They're coming, they've got like a five-year run. It's like
- 2:08Speaker 6: a residency of libertarianism in Las Vegas. There, it's like
- 2:13Speaker 6: Jerry Seinfeld. But we may, we may also have do
- 2:18Speaker 6: the Consumer Electronics Show. That's coming up in January. As

- 2:26Speaker 6: This text message comes in. So what kind of Vegas
- 2:29Speaker 6: are you, Joe? Me, I'm the mountains around Las Vegas.
- 2:33Speaker 6: I find the mountains around Las Vegas to be stunning
- 2:36Speaker 6: in a way that I've never experienced before. I wish
- 2:40Speaker 6: the city was closer to them. But when it comes
- 2:43Speaker 6: to the hotels in Las Vegas... I'm more of a
- 2:47Speaker 6: Fremont Street guy than I am a strip guy.
- 2:49Speaker 5: I just am. I don't know.
- 2:53Speaker 6: Waking up at 2 o'clock in the morning to do
- 2:56Speaker 6: my radio show on the Eastern Seaboard and still having
- 3:00Speaker 6: rock bands playing on stage 20 stories below my room
- 3:05Speaker 6: and I can hear them is fun. I enjoy that.
- 3:09Speaker 6: That's the kind of stuff I get into. for your
- 3:12Speaker 6: mindset there. But thank you for joining the family there.
- 3:15Speaker 6: Our first things this morning, the things we're talking about, obviously,
- 3:18Speaker 6: September 11th and the 25th anniversary was marked all over
- 3:23Speaker 6: the place. Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War, said Americans must

- 3:54Speaker 6: pray for you every day and that Mamdani responded, thank you. Meanwhile,

- 4:22Speaker 6: now over and upwards of $ 20 billion. It's over $ 19
- 4:27Speaker 6: billion on its way to $ 20 billion they expect very soon.
- 4:31Speaker 6: We have worked hard to expedite claims and get money
- 4:35Speaker 6: out to the victims. Saudi Arabia yesterday shut down a
- 4:40Speaker 6: major pipeline after it was attacked by drones from Iran's

- 4:53Speaker 6: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick went on the defensive yesterday, saying
- 4:58Speaker 6: that the proposed $ 5, 000 dividend for American adults would not
- 5:02Speaker 6: be funded with taxpayer money. Instead, it would tap into
- 5:06Speaker 6: revenue they potentially would earn from a new visa program
- 5:10Speaker 6: for wealthy foreigners and gains on government-owned corporation stock. Chief
- 5:17Speaker 6: election officials from seven GOP-led states have urged the Supreme
- 5:22Speaker 6: Court to stop the Trump administration from enacting their mail-in
- 5:27Speaker 6: ballot ruling, not because they disagree with it, but because

- 5:35Speaker 6: Officials from Utah, Kentucky, North Dakota, South Dakota, Georgia, New Hampshire,
- 5:43Speaker 6: and Kansas made the filing today. to the Supreme Court.
- 5:46Speaker 6: And my old friend Rochelle Brackney, former Charlottesville police chief,
- 5:50Speaker 6: says Mississippi police have arrested a man in the death
- 5:54Speaker 6: of Tasha Fortune, the black woman found hanging from a
- 5:57Speaker 6: tree last month. Our friends at the Daily Signal put
- 6:01Speaker 6: me in their employ so that I can cover Virginia
- 6:04Speaker 6: news stories for them. Most recent piece is a sit-down
- 6:08Speaker 6: with the man who was in the U.S. Capitol building
- 6:11Speaker 6: on September 11th. 2001, representing Virginia. He was a former
- 6:16Speaker 6: senator and governor. George Allen, now head of the Young
- 6:19Speaker 6: Americans Foundation. And we sit down, we talk a little
- 6:23Speaker 6: bit about September 11th then, September 11th now, and how
- 6:28Speaker 6: we're being twisted around into our beliefs and how it's
- 6:32Speaker 6: being weaponized against us. Read all about it. We also
- 6:36Speaker 6: bring in the historical context of what happened when Thomas Jefferson,
- 6:40Speaker 6: another notable Virginian, crossed paths with radical Islam 240 years ago.
- 6:48Speaker 6: All there for you on the Virginia pages. We also
- 6:50Speaker 6: have Georgia, Texas, California, and Ohio covered like a blanket
- 6:55Speaker 6: at DailySignal.com.
- 6:57Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and Victor Davis Hanson.
- 7:02Speaker 7: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 7:07Speaker 7: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
- 7:12Speaker 7: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 7:17Speaker 7: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 7:22Speaker 7: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
- 7:27Speaker 7: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 7:31Speaker 7: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 7:35Speaker 7: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 7:38Speaker 7: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 7:41Speaker 7: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
- 7:46Speaker 7: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

- 8:05Speaker 7: optimized curcumin is one of the few bioavailable and highly
- 8:09Speaker 7: absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi, I'm Dr.
- 8:13Speaker 8: Mitch.
- 8:14Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 8:20Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 8:24Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 8:28Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 8:32Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 8:39Speaker 7: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 8:43Speaker 7: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 8:47Speaker 7: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 8:52Speaker 7: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

- 9:58Speaker 10: Hi, everybody.
- 9:59Speaker 11: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
- 10:01Speaker 11: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 11: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 11: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 11: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 11: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
- 10:15Speaker 11: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
- 10:17Speaker 11: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
- 10:21Speaker 11: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
- 10:23Speaker 11: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
- 10:26Speaker 11: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
- 10:30Speaker 11: but because of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving
- 10:33Speaker 11: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
- 10:36Speaker 11: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
- 10:39Speaker 11: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
- 10:42Speaker 11: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
- 10:44Speaker 11: trained roles that contribute to society.
- 10:46Speaker 5: And help those in need.
- 10:47Speaker 2: So please join me and American.

- 10:52Speaker 11: amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org

- 11:01Speaker 14: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:04Speaker 3: And now a speech.
- 11:06Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 11:10Speaker 5: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 16: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 11:15Speaker 14: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 11:18Speaker 14: somebody call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 12: Love that guy.
- 11:20Speaker 9: Me too.

- 13:17Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 13:35Speaker 5: You know, there's a book in my head somewhere.
- 13:39Speaker 6: Once I finish writing my unauthorized autobiography, I'm going to write.
- 13:45Speaker 5: The history of.
- 13:48Speaker 6: Marxism versus liberty as told through the eyes of the
- 13:54Speaker 6: two big restaurant chains that dominated America's 60s, 70s.
- 13:59Speaker 5: And 80s and beyond.
- 14:02Speaker 6: Because, you know, it was always it was the battle
- 14:04Speaker 6: of have it your way versus you deserve a break today.
- 14:09Speaker 5: Don't work.
- 14:12Speaker 6: And it would have been a great slogan if they
- 14:14Speaker 6: were giving you free food. Notice the red and yellow
- 14:18Speaker 6: logo of the, you know, you deserve a break. You've
- 14:21Speaker 6: worked hard enough versus have it your way. You make
- 14:25Speaker 6: it yourself. You're the boss. They're getting back to it now.
- 14:32Speaker 6: I get that. But my family history in the Burger
- 14:36Speaker 6: War is notwithstanding. I said earlier that rebranding Hamas as
- 14:40Speaker 6: a marginalized community.
- 14:42Speaker 5: Is in the pantheon.
- 14:43Speaker 6: Of advertising campaigns akin to managing to get the Big
- 14:51Speaker 6: Mac turned into a health food. And Ken writes in
- 14:58Speaker 6: to 434-882-4217. Ken, I don't know, we're starting to get
- 15:03Speaker 6: a list of places you could be listening. So please,
- 15:06Speaker 6: you know, next time you text, tell me where you're selling.
- 15:09Speaker 6: He said, Joe, I can see the ads now. Hi,
- 15:12Speaker 6: I'm Tony Fauci, and I say McDonald's Big Macs are
- 15:16Speaker 6: safe and effective.
- 15:22Speaker 5: That's it.
- 15:23Speaker 6: Only if Pfizer gets the contract to make this special sauce,
- 15:28Speaker 6: then it'll work for you.
- 15:30Speaker 5: Good stuff there, my friend. Joel is on the line
- 15:33Speaker 5: with us. Good morning, Joel. Thank you for hanging on
- 15:35Speaker 5: at 434-882-4217. What's on your mind? Good morning.
- 15:41Speaker 14: Well, this isn't the topic, but so what about the
- 15:43Speaker 14: people that like the square burgers with the onions and
- 15:46Speaker 14: the holes?
- 15:47Speaker 5: Oh, belly bombs, white castles. You know, let's see.
- 15:51Speaker 6: Well, of course, our friends, our friends on Long Island
- 15:54Speaker 6: News Radio, they know there's still there's still some white
- 15:58Speaker 6: castles out there. Most people only know white castles. And
- 16:02Speaker 6: that's how they are not a white castle hamburger. They
- 16:05Speaker 6: are white castles. That way, there's no implication that there's
- 16:10Speaker 6: actually food there. But steamed with onions on it under
- 16:16Speaker 6: a fryer pan lid and then put on a dodger.
- 16:23Speaker 6: But I'll tell you, 4 o'clock in the morning, not
- 16:25Speaker 6: that anything good happens at 4 o'clock in the morning unless.
- 16:28Speaker 5: It's the beginning of your day.
- 16:31Speaker 6: That there was something about them. Them and Jack in
- 16:34Speaker 6: the Box. Remember Jack in the Box at all? Did
- 16:37Speaker 6: they ever have a Jack in the Box.
- 16:39Speaker 5: Where you were? They were the other late night stop
- 16:44Speaker 5: off point.
- 16:47Speaker 6: I don't know what the In-N-Out burgers and whatever it
- 16:50Speaker 6: all may be.
- 16:51Speaker 5: It's all there now. So what was on your mind
- 16:54Speaker 5: when you called in?
- 16:56Speaker 14: Well, I wanted to call in about the AOC Mondami.
- 17:02Speaker 5: The giggle fest they had?
- 17:04Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 17:05Speaker 14: I think the amazing thing is, I don't think that
- 17:09Speaker 14: really would have been captured in 2001, but I think
- 17:14Speaker 14: it was captured because of cell phone use and the
- 17:18Speaker 14: ability to put raw footage out there on social media.
- 17:22Speaker 6: There's also a point to this, Joel. There's an arrogance...
- 17:27Speaker 6: Amongst New York Democrats that that giggle. And when I
- 17:32Speaker 6: saw it, I'm like, this is this is what happens
- 17:34Speaker 6: when there is no opposition party, when there is no
- 17:38Speaker 6: one saying, hey, I'm going to run against your ass
- 17:42Speaker 6: for mayor or Congress. This is the attitude of people
- 17:47Speaker 6: who think that as long as they want it. Their
- 17:50Speaker 6: office is theirs because the people on the public dole
- 17:55Speaker 6: are just going to keep voting for them.
- 17:58Speaker 5: And that's what I took from that photograph is.
- 18:01Speaker 6: These are two people who couldn't care less if you
- 18:03Speaker 6: saw them laughing and joking around about, you know, and
- 18:08Speaker 6: I'm sure it was about something else. Let's give them
- 18:11Speaker 6: the benefit of the doubt that they were joking about
- 18:14Speaker 6: something that happened on TV the night before or something
- 18:18Speaker 6: some candidate said.
- 18:20Speaker 5: At a forum. Fine.
- 18:22Speaker 6: Okay, I'll give you that. Maybe they weren't joking about
- 18:24Speaker 6: the dead people after September 11th. But have some conscience
- 18:29Speaker 6: of presence. You're at a funeral. You're basically at a
- 18:34Speaker 6: memorial service for people who died and are still dying
- 18:39Speaker 6: because of this terrorist attack. And have some awareness about it.
- 18:43Speaker 6: But they don't care. They don't care, Joel. That's what
- 18:46Speaker 6: the laughing was about. They don't care because they don't
- 18:49Speaker 6: think anyone's ever going to beat them.
- 18:53Speaker 2: I agree.
- 18:53Speaker 14: And the other thing, too, is I think they thrive
- 18:56Speaker 14: on their own negative publicity because– That too. Having negative
- 19:04Speaker 14: publicity against them actually creates for the shallow minds out
- 19:09Speaker 14: there that want to see that because to them– To them,
- 19:14Speaker 14: politics or people that are in government are just kind
- 19:17Speaker 14: of shadow figures. They're used to seeing heroes or seeing
- 19:22Speaker 14: people that... Now, we saw the real heroes that were
- 19:25Speaker 14: being honored.
- 19:26Speaker 5: Sure.
- 19:26Speaker 14: And we saw the dust. We saw the pain. I
- 19:30Speaker 14: saw in between that cut, there was a man with
- 19:33Speaker 14: his head down on... It looked like one of the...
- 19:36Speaker 14: I haven't been to the memorial, but had his head
- 19:39Speaker 14: down on the granite and just praying. And there's flowers
- 19:42Speaker 14: and people all around. And the thing is, too, Joe,
- 19:45Speaker 14: back in 2001, less than 40 of the American population
- 19:50Speaker 14: had cell phones. Now, 98% of the world.
- 19:53Speaker 5: Has cell phones.
- 19:54Speaker 1: Like they said, there's like over 7.51 billion users.
- 19:56Speaker 14: And And there were probably more newspapers back then than
- 20:03Speaker 14: there are now. And stories meant more in magazines with
- 20:08Speaker 14: pictures you would look at or newspapers. But now newspapers
- 20:12Speaker 14: are just basically a lying format for the left.
- 20:18Speaker 5: Well, it's a PR form.
- 20:20Speaker 6: It's like, you know, here are the news releases from
- 20:22Speaker 6: the people who have paid us to send out their
- 20:25Speaker 6: news releases. And so this is why Americans buy so
- 20:30Speaker 6: few of them. And some of it was fueled because,
- 20:33Speaker 6: you know, you had places that had two or three
- 20:35Speaker 6: newspapers on September 12th of 2001, and they were all
- 20:41Speaker 6: trying to have an angle on the story. So what
- 20:45Speaker 6: they wound up doing was falling prey to people who
- 20:47Speaker 6: were like, hey, didn't we deserve this? Isn't this our
- 20:52Speaker 6: fault for supporting Israel? You know, isn't this and the
- 20:57Speaker 6: subtle anti-Semitism that runs in there along with it? Because
- 21:02Speaker 6: there's an important point, and I'll make this in greater
- 21:05Speaker 6: extent in a few moments. We've got the news. But
- 21:09Speaker 6: the Palestinians and what they want is a world where
- 21:13Speaker 6: they can run roughshod and have and have their way
- 21:19Speaker 6: without America interfering. They want America to leave because we
- 21:23Speaker 6: have laws that say, sure, you can be Muslim, but
- 21:27Speaker 6: you can't kill people.
- 21:28Speaker 5: Because of it. And they're like, yes, I can. It
- 21:30Speaker 5: says I can.
- 21:32Speaker 6: And they wrap themselves in free speech and religious freedom.
- 21:37Speaker 6: And we don't have the intestinal fortitude outside of you
- 21:43Speaker 6: and me and the folks listening to this show to
- 21:46Speaker 6: call them out for the fraud that that is and
- 21:48Speaker 6: the American constitutional way that we can deal with it
- 21:53Speaker 6: if we had the guts, Joel. But you have a
- 21:55Speaker 6: good morning, sir. Enjoy your weekend.
- 21:58Speaker 1: You too.

- 23:10Speaker 21: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
- 23:14Speaker 21: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
- 23:16Speaker 21: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
- 23:20Speaker 5: That's what you should use.
- 23:22Speaker 21: But there are exceptions to the rule. Many high-end or
- 23:25Speaker 21: luxury vehicles call for premium or higher octane fuel. And
- 23:28Speaker 21: the reason for this is not just due to the
- 23:30Speaker 21: octane rating. There are better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels.
- 23:34Speaker 21: Gasoline companies know, too, that vehicles that run on premium
- 23:37Speaker 21: won't perform as well with carbon deposits, so they pack
- 23:39Speaker 21: more cleaning power into their premium fuels than their regular blend.
- 23:43Speaker 21: If you rotate your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful,
- 23:46Speaker 21: you may find better performance and miles per gallon because
- 23:49Speaker 21: you are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.
- 23:53Speaker 21: Just don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them
- 23:55Speaker 21: anytime soon. With your automotive prescription, I'm Ron Anany and
- 23:58Speaker 21: the Car Doctor. See you next time.
- 24:03Speaker 7: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 7: I'm Dr.
- 24:13Speaker 20: Mitch.
- 24:14Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 24:19Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 24:23Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 24:28Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 24:32Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 24:39Speaker 7: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 24:43Speaker 7: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 24:46Speaker 7: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 24:51Speaker 7: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

- 25:56Speaker 20: Oh, yeah?
- 25:57Speaker 14: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 25:59Speaker 3: And now a speech.
- 26:02Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 26:05Speaker 5: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 26:08Speaker 11: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 26:10Speaker 14: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 26:13Speaker 14: somebody call me a ride.
- 26:15Speaker 12: Love that guy.
- 26:16Speaker 3: Me too.
- 26:16Speaker 17: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 26:19Speaker 17: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

- 26:25Speaker 18: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 26:29Speaker 18: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 26:34Speaker 18: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 26:36Speaker 18: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 26:40Speaker 18: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 26:46Speaker 18: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 26:49Speaker 18: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 26:53Speaker 18: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 26:55Speaker 18: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 26:58Speaker 18: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 27:02Speaker 18: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 27:05Speaker 18: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 27:09Speaker 18: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

- 28:11Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 28:17Speaker 6: You know, and our friend Mac had some great points
- 28:20Speaker 6: about September 11th. He shared with us, and I want
- 28:23Speaker 6: to get to that, but a man who travels the
- 28:27Speaker 6: highways and byways in the origins, in the footsteps of
- 28:32Speaker 6: those who created country music, roots music, old-timey, whatever you
- 28:37Speaker 6: want to call it, a troubadour of the first degrees,
- 28:41Speaker 6: my old friend Benny Dodd. who's dropped in out the
- 28:45Speaker 6: sky for us this morning at 434-882-4217. Happy Saturday morning, Benny.
- 28:52Speaker 6: I'm surprised you're not sleeping off a late-night gig playing
- 28:54Speaker 6: for people last night.
- 28:56Speaker 1: No, I didn't play last night.
- 29:00Speaker 20: I got to go today at Saunders Orchard, play with
- 29:03Speaker 20: a friend of mine, Keith Bradley.
- 29:05Speaker 1: We're doing a little thing up there today. Yeah, but
- 29:09Speaker 1: I've been doing okay.
- 29:10Speaker 20: Been staying, playing as much as I want to.
- 29:13Speaker 22: Good.
- 29:14Speaker 1: Filling in with everybody.
- 29:17Speaker 20: I just got a whole lot of stuff to talk to,
- 29:19Speaker 20: but it would take me a long time. Some stuff
- 29:23Speaker 20: that I've just found out that I want to talk
- 29:27Speaker 20: and maybe get your.
- 29:29Speaker 5: Input on it. Yeah, go ahead. Throw it out at me.
- 29:33Speaker 20: Well, I could say when you get back to Manzani
- 29:37Speaker 20: and AOC, they.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Like I say, they're the elite.
- 29:43Speaker 20: But moving on, if bringing this back, this anniversary back
- 29:50Speaker 20: and all that stuff, don't fire up people in the
- 29:55Speaker 20: Republican base.
- 29:56Speaker 5: I don't know what would.
- 29:57Speaker 20: I know. And I'm telling you that midterm convention was
- 30:05Speaker 20: spot on, too.
- 30:07Speaker 1: That was brilliant. I don't know who came up with that.
- 30:10Speaker 6: Well, it's controversy because a lot of the old guard,
- 30:13Speaker 6: you know, the traditionalists said, oh, I didn't like that.
- 30:17Speaker 6: I don't think, you know, and it was too much about,
- 30:19Speaker 6: you know, Trump. You know, right now, a lot of Americans,
- 30:24Speaker 6: you know, are looking at, the Trump administration and looking
- 30:29Speaker 6: at Congress and the Congress people are anonymous to them
- 30:33Speaker 6: and they know who Trump is. So the political consultant said,
- 30:38Speaker 6: if you want to win the midterm with a bunch
- 30:40Speaker 6: of guys named Joe, no offense to guys named Joe,
- 30:45Speaker 6: president company included.
- 30:48Speaker 5: You're going to need to weigh in on all these.
- 30:50Speaker 6: And I think the president did this convention as a
- 30:55Speaker 6: way to the one thing, he was going to do
- 31:00Speaker 6: rallies in all these places. I think he realizes that
- 31:04Speaker 6: he doesn't have time to go and hold rallies in
- 31:06Speaker 6: all these places, nor does he have the money. So
- 31:09Speaker 6: he's going to try to consolidate this into a way where,
- 31:13Speaker 6: you know, your congressional candidate, now, you know, you in
- 31:17Speaker 6: the Shenandoah Valley, your candidate, Ben Klein, you know, he's
- 31:22Speaker 6: got a best-selling author, Beth Macy, who wrote Dope Sick,
- 31:26Speaker 6: And part of the reason she's a scary candidate, I mean,
- 31:29Speaker 6: Ben wins that district by 30 points usually. But Beth
- 31:33Speaker 6: Macy is famous. And there are a lot of conservatives
- 31:37Speaker 6: that like what she did by outing the pharmaceutical industry
- 31:42Speaker 6: and how it was getting people hooked on opioids. And
- 31:46Speaker 6: so I think she's a candidate they think can peel
- 31:50Speaker 6: away some conservatives who are anti the pharmaceutical industry. And
- 31:57Speaker 6: vote against Ben Kline, and I think that's one of
- 31:59Speaker 6: the things the RNC is afraid of, Benny.
- 32:03Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
- 32:06Speaker 20: I don't trust anybody but John Fetterman.
- 32:12Speaker 5: You like John.
- 32:13Speaker 1: I like John.
- 32:15Speaker 20: He's not totally agreeance with everything, but he gets it.
- 32:21Speaker 5: Well, he said something, because he talked at the RNC.
- 32:23Speaker 6: He was talking about the other senator, McCormick, introduced him.
- 32:32Speaker 6: But he says, I'm not going to join the Republican
- 32:35Speaker 6: Party because I have pro-choice beliefs. But if you ask
- 32:40Speaker 6: him about his pro-choice beliefs— It's not this stuff that
- 32:44Speaker 6: Virginia is thinking of doing with abortions all the way
- 32:47Speaker 6: up to the moment the baby's being born and stuff
- 32:50Speaker 6: like that.
- 32:51Speaker 20: No.
- 32:52Speaker 5: So that's important.
- 32:54Speaker 1: Another thing that really gets me is.
- 32:58Speaker 20: These drive-by media places, they're having– and they– in the
- 33:05Speaker 20: tank– for the communists like Mazzami and all of them once.
- 33:10Speaker 1: Sure. But yet they.
- 33:12Speaker 20: Have these shows, you know, interviewing these people about 9-1-1.
- 33:21Speaker 1: And all the people that died.
- 33:23Speaker 20: But on the other hand, it just seems like it's
- 33:26Speaker 20: hypocritical for me to those to be interviews.
- 33:30Speaker 1: Here they are. Most of the ones that did the.
- 33:33Speaker 20: Interviews, they, you know, they would, try to trash Trump
- 33:37Speaker 20: as they all try to do.
- 33:39Speaker 1: But, you know, yeah.
- 33:42Speaker 5: And Trump wasn't even around. You know, Trump was, he
- 33:45Speaker 5: was just a guy in New York at the time. Exactly.
- 33:49Speaker 6: You know, he didn't have anything connected to this.
- 33:52Speaker 5: He did not.
- 33:55Speaker 6: One of the things, though, that's, I don't know if
- 33:58Speaker 6: you saw this story or not, so Jimmy Kimmel booked
- 34:03Speaker 6: James Tallarico, the Texas Senate candidate.
- 34:06Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 34:07Speaker 6: And now he's sitting there saying, oh, the FCC is
- 34:10Speaker 6: making me take that interview and put it on YouTube
- 34:13Speaker 6: only because the FCC is coming after us.
- 34:17Speaker 5: I've got a dirty little secret.
- 34:19Speaker 6: It was ABC that told him, don't you dare put
- 34:22Speaker 6: that on the TV show unless you want to also
- 34:25Speaker 6: have Ken Paxton on. running against him because they're going
- 34:30Speaker 6: to come after us for.
- 34:35Speaker 5: Manipulating. It's like a free campaign ad.
- 34:41Speaker 20: I know.
- 34:41Speaker 1: Yeah, he's scary, man.
- 34:45Speaker 20: Now he's backpedaling everything like they always try to do
- 34:49Speaker 20: and try to act like he's moderate, but he's far
- 34:53Speaker 20: from it, man, all the stuff he said.
- 34:55Speaker 1: And then Like I was saying, I saw a thing
- 34:59Speaker 1: on there last night. They was interviewing.
- 35:03Speaker 20: It was a program called Daughters of 9-1-1. And they
- 35:07Speaker 20: still haven't tried that.
- 35:11Speaker 1: Guy, Sheikh Mohammed, you know, the mastermind behind it.
- 35:15Speaker 6: It's not going to happen until 28 now, the military tribunals.
- 35:21Speaker 25: Yeah.
- 35:22Speaker 6: Endangering. What do you hear? You're in these coffee shops.
- 35:27Speaker 6: You're going to these wineries. I mean, you're just there
- 35:29Speaker 6: on a stage with folks. What is the average person?
- 35:33Speaker 20: I don't really talk a lot of it because a
- 35:36Speaker 20: lot of places I go, they're totally— It's from the
- 35:41Speaker 20: musical thing. They're totally opposite what I do.
- 35:44Speaker 6: So you get a sense that the people who are
- 35:47Speaker 6: going to these wineries and these coffee shops are leftists
- 35:51Speaker 6: or they just don't want to talk about it or.
- 35:53Speaker 1: You don't know. You don't know who they are. Some
- 35:57Speaker 1: of them will really surprise you.
- 35:59Speaker 20: Yeah.
- 36:00Speaker 5: Like this one.
- 36:02Speaker 20: This there's a lot of people like saves a lot
- 36:05Speaker 20: of people I play with. But I would not, you know,
- 36:08Speaker 20: talk politics with them because I know they're exactly the
- 36:12Speaker 20: opposite of me.
- 36:13Speaker 5: Right.
- 36:14Speaker 20: That this one friend that I know that lives in
- 36:17Speaker 20: Canada and to look at her, you would think that
- 36:21Speaker 20: she would be a leftist.
- 36:23Speaker 1: But no, she's not.
- 36:25Speaker 20: She's totally like against the vaccine and everything. And me,
- 36:29Speaker 20: I've been against that, too.
- 36:31Speaker 1: I never got it.
- 36:32Speaker 5: You know, so I was the ones. That's why you're
- 36:35Speaker 5: still with us. Hey, Benny, I've got to run, my friend.
- 36:37Speaker 5: It's so good to catch up with you. Thank you,
- 36:39Speaker 5: my friend.
- 36:40Speaker 1: I could talk to you all day, buddy.
- 36:42Speaker 6: Well, that's my gift. That's why they put me behind
- 36:45Speaker 6: the microphone, because people can talk to me all day.
- 36:47Speaker 5: I appreciate it. God bless you, sir.
- 36:49Speaker 1: I'm a Valley guy just like you right now.
- 36:51Speaker 5: Amen to that. All right, brother.
- 36:54Speaker 6: John Denver was singing about us. I just don't think it.
- 36:58Speaker 6: And a real quick point to what Benny was saying earlier.
- 37:01Speaker 6: about all these folks who are pitching the Marxist, and
- 37:05Speaker 6: really the Islamist ideal is Marxism as well, this from
- 37:10Speaker 6: the heart of the KGB in Russia.
- 37:12Speaker 13: Your leftists in the United States, all these professors and
- 37:16Speaker 13: all these beautiful civil rights defenders, they are instrumental in
- 37:21Speaker 13: the process of the subversion only to destabilize the nation.
- 37:27Speaker 13: When their job is completed, They are not needed anymore.
- 37:31Speaker 13: They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned,
- 37:35Speaker 13: when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power, obviously they
- 37:39Speaker 13: get offended. They think that they will come to power.
- 37:42Speaker 13: That will never happen, of course. They will be lined
- 37:44Speaker 13: up against the wall and shot.
- 37:47Speaker 6: I'm just looking out for you. So when I criticize
- 37:49Speaker 6: Jimmy Kimmel, I'm actually trying to help him. I don't
- 37:52Speaker 6: want Jimmy Kimmel lined up against a wall and shot.
- 37:55Speaker 6: I don't... I don't think they realize it, so I'm
- 37:58Speaker 6: hoping that maybe our words can help them.
- 38:01Speaker 26: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting,
- 38:05Speaker 26: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
- 38:09Speaker 26: the police? At a time when America's neighborhoods need the
- 38:13Speaker 26: protection of police the most, some elected officials would rather create.
- 38:17Speaker 5: More chaos by playing politics.
- 38:19Speaker 26: If you're sick of elected officials caving in to demands
- 38:22Speaker 26: of the radical left, you're not alone. It's time we
- 38:26Speaker 26: stand up and declare our support for local police. The

- 40:57Speaker 16: Exercise is hard, so is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 41:03Speaker 16: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
- 41:08Speaker 16: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 41:12Speaker 16: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 41:15Speaker 16: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 41:21Speaker 16: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 41:24Speaker 16: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:27Speaker 16: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:32Speaker 16: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
- 41:36Speaker 16: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

- 44:22Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:26Speaker 5: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
- 44:28Speaker 6: I mentioned our man Mac, and I know that people
- 44:32Speaker 6: think that, you know, Hollywood, I don't know if you
- 44:35Speaker 6: saw this, TMZ held a master's class on how to be,
- 44:39Speaker 6: you know, bad, I don't know if bad is the
- 44:43Speaker 6: right word because they get rewarded by writing salacious about
- 44:46Speaker 6: and for writing salacious headlines because it gets clicks. But
- 44:50Speaker 6: they wrote headlines that were completely misrepresentative over this documentary
- 44:55Speaker 6: they did over the fifth airplane. And I thought about it.
- 44:59Speaker 6: Mac yesterday talked about the fifth airplane and a dear
- 45:03Speaker 6: friend of his in mind. Well, an acquaintance of mine
- 45:06Speaker 6: and a friend of his that was there. On the
- 45:10Speaker 6: fifth plane. So it's not like it doesn't exist, but
- 45:14Speaker 6: we'll get into the TMZ story in a little bit.
- 45:17Speaker 6: But our sportsman Mac, you know, on the impact of
- 45:20Speaker 6: sports in September 11th.
- 45:22Speaker 28: All right, the Mets and the Yankees, of course, New York,
- 45:24Speaker 28: play a vital role and really a couple of great
- 45:28Speaker 28: stories to tell because the return to Shea Stadium, Major
- 45:32Speaker 28: League Baseball paused play following the attacks on September 11, 2001,
- 45:38Speaker 28: but 10 days later then, September 21, the Mets hosted
- 45:41Speaker 28: the Braves at Shea Stadium in New York's first major
- 45:45Speaker 28: professional sporting event that made the return. The crowd was filled,
- 45:48Speaker 28: you know, police officers, firefighters, rescue workers.
- 45:51Speaker 13: I mean, it was.
- 45:52Speaker 28: You know, it was that kind of event.
- 45:53Speaker 6: And people, you know, and Mac, just for context, so
- 45:57Speaker 6: Shea Stadium, they couldn't have played baseball because that was where.
- 46:01Speaker 5: Everyone, that was the base of operations.
- 46:04Speaker 6: They said, we need a big space for this operation
- 46:07Speaker 6: in downtown Manhattan. So they took over the parking lot
- 46:09Speaker 6: and the field was for, you know, services, medical services.
- 46:14Speaker 5: The stadium was full for those days.
- 46:17Speaker 28: Yeah, but so then they finally, you know, trailing 2-1
- 46:21Speaker 28: in the eighth inning on that night, catcher Mike Piazza,
- 46:24Speaker 28: the dramatic two-run homer that just lit up the Mets crowd.
- 46:29Speaker 5: Lopez wants it away.
- 46:31Speaker 1: And it's hit deep to left center.
- 46:33Speaker 5: Andrew Jones on the run.
- 46:34Speaker 1: This one has a chance.
- 46:37Speaker 2: Cold run by Piazza.
- 46:39Speaker 1: And the Mets lead 3-2.
- 46:43Speaker 5: Take a look at this. He's got as much power
- 46:46Speaker 5: as anybody. He's got the arms extended.
- 46:49Speaker 8: A long home run.
- 46:52Speaker 6: And a curtain call.
- 46:53Speaker 28: Yeah, and a curtain call, of course, on that special night.
- 46:57Speaker 28: And Bobby Valentine continued the, you know, and players like
- 47:00Speaker 28: John Franco, Al Leiter. Todd Zeal, they participated in recovery
- 47:04Speaker 28: and relief efforts, and they were using modified police cars
- 47:10Speaker 28: to shuttle supplies, as you were talking about, to Shea
- 47:12Speaker 28: Stadium to Ground Zero days immediately following. But the organization
- 47:16Speaker 28: now maintains the the tradition of visiting local New York
- 47:20Speaker 28: firehouses ahead of.
- 47:21Speaker 5: The anniversary, of course.
- 47:22Speaker 28: So, well, during the 2001 World Series then in October,
- 47:27Speaker 28: it was President George Bush who threw out the first
- 47:29Speaker 28: pitch of the game there. It was the first of
- 47:31Speaker 28: the series to be played at Yankee Stadium against the
- 47:34Speaker 28: arizona diamondbacks now the great part about that is is
- 47:38Speaker 28: that he was wearing a bulletproof vest and he is
- 47:41Speaker 28: in the locker he's down and he's in the tunnel
- 47:43Speaker 28: with derrick jeter and derrick jeter had a little bit
- 47:46Speaker 28: had a little message uh for president bush.
- 47:49Speaker 20: For tonight's ceremonial first pitch and please welcome the president
- 47:57Speaker 20: of the united states.
- 47:58Speaker 5: Bob shepard.
- 48:01Speaker 22: I saw him down in the tunnel as they showed
- 48:03Speaker 22: there prior to the game, and he was warming up,
- 48:05Speaker 22: and he was asking me whether or not he should throw.
- 48:07Speaker 5: From the mound.
- 48:08Speaker 2: I said, you have to throw from the mound. I mean,
- 48:09Speaker 2: it's Yankee Stadium.
- 48:11Speaker 22: And then when I was walking out, I turned back
- 48:13Speaker 22: and looked at him, and I said, hey, don't bounce.
- 48:15Speaker 5: There's no fool you if you bounce.
- 48:17Speaker 2: And he went out there and threw a perfect strike.
- 48:20Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 48:20Speaker 28: And it was so such an iconic, you know, time
- 48:24Speaker 28: and message and everything and the way it was, you know,
- 48:27Speaker 28: just celebrated.
- 48:28Speaker 9: Oh, yes.
- 48:28Speaker 28: Security officials believe that really, you know, it was a
- 48:32Speaker 28: more secure location for the president did not pose the
- 48:34Speaker 28: same security concerns that there was talk about Bush thing
- 48:37Speaker 28: going to Arizona. The first game of the World Series,
- 48:41Speaker 28: instead of waiting until game three, but a lot of
- 48:44Speaker 28: people in the White House stepped in and said, not
- 48:46Speaker 28: so fast, George. No, let's just stay home. We'll wait
- 48:50Speaker 28: for the Yankees and the series to return.
- 48:52Speaker 6: Well, I think politically, you know, doing it in New
- 48:54Speaker 6: York City is, you know, one thing. If the Pirates
- 48:58Speaker 6: had been in the World Series, that would have been
- 49:00Speaker 6: worth it for the price of admission, too.
- 49:03Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. So anyway, on this day, we all have memories.
- 49:08Speaker 28: We all have what was happening. I was in the
- 49:11Speaker 28: newsroom immediately calling the people that I had in my phone,
- 49:15Speaker 28: mostly Virginia athletes who were working in New York.
- 49:18Speaker 5: The one that comes to mind was Willie Dersh.
- 49:21Speaker 28: Willie was a guard that played for Pete Gillen during
- 49:24Speaker 28: that era, and Willie was actually working close to Ground Zero. Remember,
- 49:30Speaker 28: we got him on the phone and we talked to him,
- 49:32Speaker 28: but just watching the newsroom react and how everybody really
- 49:36Speaker 28: around the country reacted was Um, there is a wonderful
- 49:40Speaker 28: story that, uh, and Bob Rotella won't mind me telling
- 49:43Speaker 28: you because he will not talk about it. And I
- 49:45Speaker 28: heard it just days after on the golf channel. And
- 49:48Speaker 28: Bob said it would be the last time that he
- 49:50Speaker 28: ever talks about it. But Bob was actually on a, well,
- 49:53Speaker 28: I had, I'd have to count the planes, but there
- 49:54Speaker 28: was a plane leaving Dallas. Bob had an appointment to
- 49:57Speaker 28: go speak at Pepsi Cola. I think it was Pepsi
- 50:00Speaker 28: in on the West coast and had a speech planned.
- 50:03Speaker 5: And he was on the plane that was.
- 50:05Speaker 28: Getting ready, which would have been number five and was
- 50:08Speaker 28: headed for the Capitol. And they they got the terrorists
- 50:12Speaker 28: off the plane in time before it took off after
- 50:16Speaker 28: because it was kind of the last plane in order.
- 50:19Speaker 28: And Bob Rotella caught a cab and, you know, got
- 50:22Speaker 28: back to.
- 50:22Speaker 6: So it's our sports director, Mac McDonald, from yesterday's program.
- 50:26Speaker 6: We were live in Shanksville from Chicago. the Flight 93 memorial.
- 50:31Speaker 6: We'll get into this TMZ documentary, which turns out to
- 50:37Speaker 6: be a big nothing burger, and I'm going to make
- 50:39Speaker 6: clear how it's such a big nothing burger, despite the
- 50:43Speaker 6: headlines that pimp it. So the TMZ folks exposing the
- 50:53Speaker 6: 9-11 cover-up. What it turns out to be, and by
- 50:57Speaker 6: the way, 21 minutes into a 40-minute documentary, you finally
- 51:03Speaker 6: find out what the cover-up is. Is the flight crew
- 51:06Speaker 6: from that plane that Bob Rotella was on, was interviewed
- 51:13Speaker 6: by the FBI the next day and asked them about
- 51:16Speaker 6: open floor compartments.
- 51:20Speaker 25: Did tell them that I felt there were some suspicious
- 51:23Speaker 25: people on the airplane. It's easy. and I pointed out
- 51:28Speaker 25: exactly the four people in first class and two gentlemen
- 51:34Speaker 25: in business, but the one that had the T-shirt on
- 51:37Speaker 25: that had uncontrollable perspiration. I did tell them that.
- 51:47Speaker 10: The first thing they asked me was why the floor
- 51:50Speaker 10: hatches were open on the airplane. I know there was
- 51:53Speaker 10: a hatch in the floor forward of my seat, At
- 51:57Speaker 10: door one left. I know that hatch led down to
- 52:02Speaker 10: the electronics. for the cockpit and the hatch is big
- 52:08Speaker 10: enough for a large person to work down in there.
- 52:11Speaker 10: About 20 minutes after we left, the agents saw something
- 52:14Speaker 10: funny going.
- 52:15Speaker 8: On on the inside of the aircraft and they'd had
- 52:18Speaker 8: somebody board the aircraft and they found the hatches open
- 52:21Speaker 8: in the floors. If the hatches were open, the people
- 52:24Speaker 8: could not have gotten off the aircraft because the hatches
- 52:26Speaker 8: were just too big to get around. They had to
- 52:30Speaker 8: be opened after everyone had gone off the aircraft.
- 52:35Speaker 6: So the controversy, the cover-up or whatever, is that these folks,
- 52:39Speaker 6: the flight crew from this last, the fifth plane, have
- 52:43Speaker 6: never been told what the FBI found out about those hatches.
- 52:51Speaker 5: You know, it's true.
- 52:52Speaker 27: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
- 52:55Speaker 27: to think about what matters most when it comes to
