  Speaker 2: Joe works at a steel mill, he's damn near every day.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Leased for work when the sun comes up, drops a
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: kid to school and on the way.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that

  Speaker 4: he needs. No wonder Joe's always smiling.

  Speaker 3: He only aims to please you.
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: Let me be your Joe.
• 0:38
  Speaker 6: Thank you so much for letting me be of service
• 0:40
  Speaker 6: to you.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: I want to be your Joe.
• 0:44
  Speaker 6: And I know people say stuff like that all the time,
• 0:48
  Speaker 6: and it's what we do here. It's why we get
• 0:51
  Speaker 6: up at this hour to help you start your day
• 0:55
  Speaker 6: or wrap it up with a better grasp on what's
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: going on because we'll go in and dig around and
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: all the platitudes that the investigative TV shows say, we're
• 1:06
  Speaker 6: going to go inside the headlines and give you the
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: analysis that you want into it. But more importantly than that,
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: you have impact as well. The news of the day
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: is doing things to you where you are and you're
• 1:23
  Speaker 6: the most important local aspect of the radio station. So,
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: You have to tell us how it's impacting you, where
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: you are. And you do that by calling in the
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: traditional fashion, 434-882-4217. You can also use that phone number
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: for text messages, most popular way, because mornings are crazy.
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: Whether you're wrapping up a night or kicking off a
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: new day, it is the time that everything seems to manifest.
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: All that stuff that you thought you had tons of
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: time for, Later on. Well, now is, as they say,
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: later on. You didn't realize it was. Oh, my gosh.
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: Is now now later on? Yep. Now is officially later on.
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: So you can join in that way. You can also
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: send an email to JT in the morning radio. at gmail.com.
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: Appreciate folks. There's just only so many screens I can
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: have open at a moment. I know folks like, but
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: why don't you just have a rolling web stream of
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: folks making comments and things like that. And that has
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: some efficacy. I tend to find that it devolves pretty
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: quickly into somebody calling somebody else a Nazi. But that's
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: just the internet for you because we love our anonymity.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: Our anonymity gives us opportunities to say things to one
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: another we wouldn't say if we were sitting next to
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: each other on a park bench. And maybe you would.
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: Maybe you would. And that's why you have a tough
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: time finding a lunch date. But we'll get into all
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: of that this morning as we get in. Here are, though,
• 3:06

  Speaker 6: to $ 48, an extension on spending through December 11th to
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: keep it away from the elections but leave a looming
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: government shutdown just in time for Christmas. U.S. military is
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: looking into a report out of Iran that a missile
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: strike at a home in southern Iran where dozens of
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: people were gathered for a wedding, killing two women and
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: two children. Central Command said they are looking into the
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: report of the strike in Cusatstak, a town along the
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: Strait of Hormuz. Federal Judge Wednesday blocked the administration from
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: enforcing new executive orders limiting the number of people eligible
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: for birthright citizenship. The U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman in Greenbelt, Maryland,
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: issued the preliminary injunction at the request of immigrants' rights
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: advocates who had last year secured a ruling blocking the
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: administration from enforcing its birthright citizenship curtailment. At the G20
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: summit yesterday, a meeting hosted by the Commerce Department and
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: the White House Office for Science and Technology Policy, tech

  Speaker 6: executives and the administration press leaders from the G20 countries
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: to embrace a lighter regulatory approach regarding artificial intelligence, saying
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: that excessive restrictions would slow innovation and limit the technology's
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: economic potential, like it does with everything. The nation's roughly
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: $ 40 trillion federal debt, meaning more than, must be brought
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: under control. That is from Treasury Secretary Scott Besant. But
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: he insisted that the broader U.S. economy remains strong and
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: economic growth appears to be accelerating. Russian attacks overnight and
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: during the early daylight hours this morning killed two civilians

  Speaker 6: and wounded six in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro,

  Speaker 6: local officials said, while the Kiev and Odessa regions bore
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: the brunt of Moscow's latest strikes. President Trump vowed Wednesday
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: to campaign aggressively for Republican candidates ahead of the midterms,
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: having a dinner for candidates in closely held seats, telling them,
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: I'm with you 100% all the way to November. And

  Speaker 6: the jury in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial Wednesday told
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: the judge for the second time it is deadlocked and
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: cannot reach a verdict.
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: the American story. But not every site is telling that
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: story honestly and fairly. That's why the Heritage Foundation created
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: American citizens with the tools they need to enjoy the
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: sites that depict some of the greatest moments in our
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: nation's history, analyzing them for historical accuracy, and provides resources
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: for families or educators planning a visit. It currently covers
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: over 45 sites in the 13 original colonies, but sites
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: from all 50 states will be added in time for
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: citizens to celebrate America 250 this summer. From Mount Vernon
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: to Independence Hall to Gettysburg and more, Americans deserve transparency
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: and sites that steward our history faithfully deserve our gratitude.
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites invites every American to
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: rediscover the places and stories that define our nation, whether
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: it's across the country or in your backyard. Visit historicsites.heritage.org.

• 7:01
  Speaker 8: You know, it's true.
• 7:02

• 7:05
  Speaker 3: to think about what matters most when it comes to
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: our spending, our healthcare. This is why so many people

• 8:03
  Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin.
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: Products on the market.
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 9: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, Our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 9: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: least slow the spread of cancer. and in many instances,
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells, even
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: 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 1: 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 12: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 12: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:17
  Speaker 12: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 12: to navigate the trees and the wild in 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 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 13: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 14: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 15: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 14: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: Heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 13: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28
  Speaker 10: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 10: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 10: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 10: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 10: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 10: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 10: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 10: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 10: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 10: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 10: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:07
  Speaker 10: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 10: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 10: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18

• 12:24
  Speaker 10: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 10: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 16: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 16: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 16: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 16: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:43
  Speaker 16: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:48
  Speaker 16: at maketheconnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
• 12:53
  Speaker 16: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: Haters gotta hate. This is the part that I think
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: really speaks to the Marxist authoritarians and not just the
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: Democratic Socialists of America. Because ideologically, we can point to
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: all the body bags filled with dissidents and say, you
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: understand that as a dissident in this country, you're allowed
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: to not just be celebrated, but often we give you
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: your own program. Whereas most other countries, you find yourself
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: facing a wall with a blindfold on or standing in
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: front of a, noose. So I apologize to you sometimes
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: because I find great puzzlement in how this works, but
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: you have to understand why this goes on, because you
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: face it as much as I do, which is this narrative,
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: this idea that you have to be with me or
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: you're against me, and there's no middle ground. The those
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: who hate America say that we have to meet in
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: the middle, but they won't listen to you once you
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: get to the middle, and now they have just dragged
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: you closer to their side. I mean, it is how
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: the Overton window works. We say something crazy, you respond
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: to it and say, God, that's crazy, but we've got
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: you talking about it. Now it's been entered into the
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: public domain. And the more you talk about it, the
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: more we win. I mean, it's the, you know, the
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: minor attracted persons and stuff like that. Is it a
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: lot of people? Is it even 1% of the population?
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: I doubt it. So I don't feel it is an
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: urgency for us to give it a lot of oxygen
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: here because that's what they want. That's how the Overton
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: window works, is that you get your opposition talking about
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: the crazy stuff that's way further beyond anything you want.
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: And by the time people, quote, meet you in the middle,
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: you're exactly where they wanted you to be. And so.
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: When the news media goes barking down the road like
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: a herd of dogs after something whether it's Jeffrey Epstein
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: or some Hollywood type or an Iranian or you pick
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: your topic area and they'll find something way out there
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: And then they'll drag you into their mad dimension. And
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: what really should be the answer, and unfortunately with these programs,
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: they're hours and hours long. This one is four. So
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: we go on rather than saying, that's dumb as a
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: bag of hair.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: Next.
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: Ted Cruz has weighed in. And we told you this
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: story when it first became a report. I think the
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: first place we read it was Politico. You have to
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: be careful with Politico. It is Washington, D.C. 's version
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: of TMZ in a lot of cases. If you're a
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: Washington staffer that's been paid by your political party overlords,
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: to get your member of Congress or Senate in trouble
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: because they're not coming along, you go to Politico and
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: they say, and it goes right into the newspaper. Congressman
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: so-and-so has violated blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's how
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: they do it. It's, And it gets clicks, which is
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: all that Politico cares about. So when I first saw
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: the story about the CHICOMs paying for all the campaigning
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: that's being done against data centers, I said, I'm going
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: to stick a pin in this. I find it interesting
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: and it's not new. Remember, the Soviet Union spent more
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: money on the American anti-war movement than they did sending
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: to the North Vietnamese Army at the time. But now
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: Ted Cruz, so it begins at Politico, then Hill picks
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: up the story. And I'm thinking, OK, well, now some
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: people have done something somewhere, sometime. to say yeah there's
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: something to this and I had been looking around into
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: it in my role with the Daily Signal and we
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: wrote a piece about it then the New York Post
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: picked it up and I go oh okay well it's
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: got a right lean but it's liable for slander if
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: they publish something that's not true So now I'm starting
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: to feel more comfortable in my position that the CHICOMs
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: are paying for most of the data center opposition. Then
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: it goes into the New York Times. And as much
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: as you complain about the old gray lady and her
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: absolutely almost cartoon-like left-leaning They also have lawyers, and they
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: don't publish things unless they are confident. And I grow
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: in confidence. It's that band of brothers kind of thing.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: So I've published something in the Daily Signal about it.
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: And now Ted Cruz has weighed in on it. In
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: his podcast, Cruz said the battle over data centers has
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: rapidly evolved from a local development issue into a major
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: national security concern. I would argue with Ted that it's
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: always been a major national security concern masquerading as a
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: local development issue, because this is what the CHICOMs are
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: very good at. They will come in and buy a
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: farm next to an army base or an air force base.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: And nobody in the planning commission you know, thinks anything
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: of it because they're just going to, oh yes, this
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: is the high, high strung company out of Uzbekistan. Um,
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: and they, they're into soybean production and they're, so we
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: sold our farm to the high strung corporation out of China. And,
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: Nobody thinks anything of it until people are like, well,
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: hold it. They're not growing any soybeans there. And now
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: it's still there. They're already there. They're set up using
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: our private property protections to shield themselves. So they love
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: to pretend these things are local issues when they're national
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: security issues. I'd like to thank Ted Cruz and the
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: Senate for finally realizing that they're paying for all these
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: people to go around and say, that data centers are
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: a grave blight on the community.
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:34
  Speaker 9: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in

  Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 9: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: a key component of to our overall health. The Mayo
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
• 24:50

• 25:56
  Speaker 18: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 18: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 19: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:05
  Speaker 19: Heart and brain.
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody.
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: Call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 13: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 19: Me too.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 10: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 10: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 10: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 10: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:58
  Speaker 10: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 10: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 6: Lucky?

  Speaker 21: Caring for my brother is far from easy. But he's

  Speaker 18: Hey, hey, hey.
• 28:16
  Speaker 21: You mean YouTube and Substack?
• 28:17
  Speaker 16: AI generated, too.
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: You know what I'm hopeful for? Skepticism. Skepticism is what
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: gives me hope each morning. I wake up, well, sure,
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: there's a cup of this. That's for you, Celie. No,
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: it's not his CBD oil. I don't put that in
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: my coffee, but I'll take it on my own orally.
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: But he just hates it when I take a drink
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: of my beverage of choice. But, you know, sure, that
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: plays a role. But skepticism is what fires me up
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: in the morning. I know enough 20-somethings who don't believe
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: a damn thing that they're told out of hat. And
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: I love that. They may be the greatest American generation
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: because they just don't believe everything they're told.
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: So there are always going to be some who do.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: And there are going to be some who don't have
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: time to go and investigate everything. This is where, you know, media,
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: the news business was supposed to live, was supposed to
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: be like, all right, you guys are busy. Some guy
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: shows up at a local elementary school and then shoots himself.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: Nobody is asking why. We'll figure it out.
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: Or not.
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: Unfortunately, sometimes the case is like, oh, well, let's just
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: carry the banner school shooting and not ask. Okay, so
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: the guy forced his way into the school, went to
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: the library, shot at a staffer, and then killed himself.
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: And we think this has to do with the school.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: It didn't go to the school. Never had been in
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: the school. Never had been in the school division. These
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: are the questions that we're supposed to be asking for
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: you so that your skepticism can be sated. Because we
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: all should have skepticism. And this skeptic generation is going to,
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: not septic. I think that was a previous generation was
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: the septic. but the skeptic generation, I'm very hopeful for
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: what they can do. And several folks, off of the
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: point I made about Ted Cruz finally getting on with
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: the idea that the CHICOMs are paying for all the
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: anti-data center stuff, Marsha writes in to 434-882-4217, What does
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: it benefit China to have us go after the data centers, Joe?
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: I don't understand. I thought they profited from the data centers. Well,
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: to a degree. I mean, they make a lot of
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: the parts and whatnot, and that is without question part
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: of it. And I appreciate you listening to us on
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: 930 The Answer. But they want the data centers there.
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: They have some of them. They want all of them.
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: They want to control the data. You know why? Because
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: that will be better than being the reserve currency of
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: the world. See, right now, America is the reserve currency
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: of the world, and we have the majority of the
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: data going through us. And here's why I defend data centers.
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: I would rather have the data centers here, and understand
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: that I was branded a Luddite years and years ago
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: by a dear friend of mine, Chris Schoenwald, because he
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: felt like I didn't grasp technology as much as he did.
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: He didn't look around and realize that he grasped technology
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: to a degree that most other people didn't, and that
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: I was just not as far along as he was.
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: I love technology. I love the opportunities and the things
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: that you can do and the The places you can
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: press it and say, can I do this with this now?
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: And maybe I can make this happen with this thing
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: right now. Just you and me together bouncing off the
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: Mumford T Firefly, suck it from the sky, downlink antennae.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: And our friends, you know, Lori up in Aurora, Colorado,
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: making sure all the little flashy lights keep being flashy lights.
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: That technology didn't exist a hundred years ago. And so,
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: you know, our technology is not something to be feared.
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: It is just a thing. You know, it was a
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: technological advancement once, black powder. You know, it was another
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: technological advancement, rifling of a musket barrel to increase accuracy
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: of your shot. Loading the black powder into the round
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: so that you don't have to spend as much time reloading.
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: And as I've always found it interesting, the gun grabbers,
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: they don't want to ban black powder in bullets. I
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: shouldn't say anything. They might get an idea like, oh,
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: that's an idea. Make everything muzzle loaded again. Oh, that'll
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: slow these SOBs down because that's what it's all about.
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: It's about magazine capacity and all this stuff. Technology is
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: going to always advance. Cameras exist. So pretending like we
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: can ban cameras from existence is stupid. I'm sorry, Florida
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: and all the other states that are running to ban cameras, Virginia,
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: several Virginia municipalities going to ban cameras from being used.
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: The Constitution accepted and embraced the idea that there was
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: going to be technological advancement, and therefore here are the
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: guardrails for its use in a free society. Yes, AI
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: was factored into the Bill of Rights, so were flock cameras.
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: You can't bury your head in the sand electorally and
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: pretend technology doesn't exist. So look at the founding documents
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: of this nation and apply them thoroughly and vigorously to
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: all new technology. Like I said, don't like flock cameras?
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: I'm fine with that. I don't like surveillance either. So
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: make it so that every time you look at a
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: piece of imagery from a flock camera, you have to
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: go before a judge and get a warrant. But there
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: are flock cameras. It doesn't matter. I mean, you might
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: want to pass an ordinance saying that the city can't
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: own the flock cameras or the police department can't own
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: the flock cameras. I'm fine with that. I don't see
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: why the government has to put them up there. But
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: if you want to see them, you got to go
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: get a warrant. You see how the Constitution and the
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: Bill of Rights actually takes these things into effect if
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: we allow it to. Now, we, the carbon-based life forms,
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: we like to be lazy. That's the word for it, lazy.
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: It's a four-letter word as well. And it is a
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: cuss word. We like to be lazy. We like to
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: take the easy way out. Well, the police own the
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: flock cameras, so the police don't have to get a
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: warrant to look at their own flock cameras.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: Ah!
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: So we've seen the problem. It's not the camera. It's
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: the human being that uses it. The corrupt authoritarian police
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: officers who are more interested in an arrest record or
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: a conviction rate for their Commonwealth's attorney or district attorneys
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: than they are in actually making sure bad guys get
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: caught and good guys get protected. Kareem's on the line
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: with us at 434-882-4217. Good morning, Kareem. How are you
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: doing this morning, sir?
• 36:37
  Speaker 15: Good morning, Joe. I'm trying to stay dry in Pennsylvania
• 36:40
  Speaker 15: at the moment.
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: I hope that means it's raining, but I probably don't
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: want to know if it's not.
• 36:48
  Speaker 15: Don't worry.
• 36:49
  Speaker 17: I will try not to incriminate myself more than I
• 36:53
  Speaker 17: usually do.
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: Fair enough.
• 36:54
  Speaker 15: No, it is raining, Joe.
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: So what's... As you live the Eddie Rabbit song and
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: hear the windshield wipers flapping, what's going on?
• 37:05
  Speaker 17: Well, I do love a rainy night. Honestly, Joe, again,
• 37:09
  Speaker 17: you plant a pretty good field with so many seeds.
• 37:12
  Speaker 17: I was listening to Antonin Scalia and Stephen.
• 37:17
  Speaker 15: Breyer have a discussion in Arizona. It was on YouTube.
• 37:20
  Speaker 15: YouTube is fantastic.
• 37:22
  Speaker 17: About some of the, just what you're talking about in
• 37:25
  Speaker 17: the Constitution. And they mentioned a court case where thermal cameras,
• 37:30
  Speaker 17: which didn't need a warrant at the time, the police
• 37:34
  Speaker 17: could just use a thermal camera to look inside your
• 37:36
  Speaker 17: home to search for who was growing marijuana because of
• 37:40
  Speaker 17: heat lamp signatures.
• 37:41
  Speaker 15: Oh, yeah.
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: I remember that, yeah.
• 37:44
  Speaker 17: In the UK, they just fly over the house, and
• 37:46
  Speaker 17: which houses don't have snow, well, they've got a lot
• 37:48
  Speaker 17: of output. But their agreement was you do need a
• 37:53
  Speaker 17: warrant because it's invasive.
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: Exactly. But that's the thing, and I'm glad to hear
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: Breyer agree with it.
• 38:02
  Speaker 9: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44

  Speaker 19: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 19: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 19: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 13: Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 19: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:20
  Speaker 19: favorite form of ear candy. Oh, my. Those bejeweled sprinkles
• 40:25
  Speaker 19: have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: Shh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 19: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 40:38
  Speaker 8: And with every item.
• 40:39
  Speaker 19: You buy, you fund local job training and more.
• 40:43
  Speaker 8: So go forth.
• 40:45
  Speaker 19: Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home so much
• 40:49
  Speaker 19: good to your community.
• 40:54
  Speaker 14: Goodwill.
• 40:54
  Speaker 19: Bring good home.
• 40:57
  Speaker 18: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 18: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 18: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 18: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 18: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 18: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 18: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 18: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 18: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 18: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41
  Speaker 20: Eat better.
• 41:42

  Speaker 20: first date?
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: We'll probably stay together.
• 42:58
  Speaker 15: Probably?
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: I can probably swim.
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 43:07
  Speaker 19: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: Cannonball!
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Cramp! I have a cramp.
• 43:16
  Speaker 14: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: Probably.
• 43:23
  Speaker 10: Can I get a mulligan?
• 43:26
  Speaker 17: Ready to go?
• 43:27
  Speaker 13: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 44:21
  Speaker 16: Well, I love a rainy night.
• 44:23
  Speaker 19: I love a rainy night.
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: I love to hear the thunder.
• 44:27
  Speaker 19: Watch the lightning when it lights up the sky.
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: Sure, you, Kareem, live in the Eddie Rabbit life. Driving
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: in the rain in PA.
• 44:36
  Speaker 16: All right.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Eddie.
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: Okay. Okay, Eddie, we get it. Can we get Eddie
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: a biscuit, please?
• 44:43
  Speaker 7: Thank you.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: Kareem, I was going to tell you about technology and
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: how the Constitution already had all of this kind of
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: factored into it. And you were mentioning Scalia and Breyer
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: on YouTube somewhere. And you're right. I want to pick
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: up on a little thing you just dropped in in
• 45:06
  Speaker 6: the last segment, that YouTube can be a wonderful place.
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: I laugh at the fact that the most popular YouTube
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: channels and the most lucrative ones are generally the shot
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: of two guys playing some first-person shooter game, but that
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: speaks more to us. That's more of a mirror into
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: us than it is anything else. And have we heard yet,
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: before we go back to Kareem on the phone, because
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: I think it's September 5th or 9th, X is rejiggering
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: how they pay their content creators... Still one of my
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: favorite lines in modern movie making when the guy introduces
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: his girlfriend. He said, she's an aspiring content creator. Well,
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: that's the kind of movie it is. It was the
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: Will Ferrell, The Hawk. Molly Shannon is his estranged wife
• 46:07
  Speaker 6: and Will Ferrell's son introduces his girlfriend. She's an aspiring
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: content creator. Molly Shannon looks and goes, what the hell
• 46:15
  Speaker 6: is that? But it is, that's what it is. You know,
• 46:19
  Speaker 6: I'm an aspiring disc jockey. Does that mean you're a waiter?
• 46:25
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 46:25
  Speaker 6: As a matter of fact, it did mean I was
• 46:27
  Speaker 6: a waiter while I was, I'm an out of work actor. Oh, well,
• 46:31
  Speaker 6: bar back or waiting tables, bus boy, mainly, um, waiting,
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: waiting for, waiting for the big director to come in
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: and I can impress him with how I clear his plates. So, um,
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: You had mentioned YouTube being this great space, and I'm
• 46:50
  Speaker 6: looking for the Scalia-Briar back and forth on data centers
• 46:55
  Speaker 6: and the Constitution. I find it heartening that Briar and
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: Scalia agreed on the fact that the Constitution addresses this.
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: To me, anyway, Kareem.
• 47:05
  Speaker 15: It's funny how much Briar did agree. I thought, oh,
• 47:08
  Speaker 15: he's just a liberal.
• 47:10
  Speaker 17: It's funny, 30 years later, this conversation was over 10
• 47:14
  Speaker 17: years ago, but Going back from what liberals were said
• 47:17
  Speaker 17: to be 30 years from now, or 30 years back then, now,
• 47:22
  Speaker 17: you're right, that Overton window has shifted quite a bit.
• 47:25
  Speaker 17: But let's say there's flock cameras. Let's say they're a
• 47:27
  Speaker 17: public tool, just like water, electricity. Then, honestly, everybody should
• 47:31
  Speaker 17: have access to it, not just the police. So think
• 47:35
  Speaker 17: of it as a 24-7 security camera.
• 47:37
  Speaker 15: I mean, you've got your Ring camera.
• 47:38
  Speaker 17: You have access to your own files on that Ring camera,
• 47:41
  Speaker 17: except the company has access to everybody's files.
• 47:44
  Speaker 15: Well, if it's a public.
• 47:46
  Speaker 17: It should be a public utility where everybody has access
• 47:48
  Speaker 17: to all because it's just outside and you don't.
• 47:50
  Speaker 15: Need those extra warrants for them. It should be just
• 47:53
  Speaker 15: like water and electricity.
• 47:55
  Speaker 17: Setting that aside, going with these data centers, I think
• 47:59
  Speaker 17: that should also be the case.
• 48:02
  Speaker 15: Libraries.
• 48:03
  Speaker 17: Before there are data centers, we have libraries, and those
• 48:05
  Speaker 17: are publicly.
• 48:07
  Speaker 15: Accessible, and that's where the information is stored.
• 48:11
  Speaker 17: And I do think that once Pandora's box is open,
• 48:16
  Speaker 17: It should be open for everybody, not just for– now,
• 48:18
  Speaker 17: this is the downside. We do have corporations that have
• 48:22
  Speaker 17: nefarious actions all over. Profit is profit, and the love
• 48:27
  Speaker 17: of money, that's a bad thing to begin with. So
• 48:30
  Speaker 17: I do think there are restraints that need to occur,
• 48:33
  Speaker 17: but if that Pandora's box is open, it should be
• 48:35
  Speaker 17: open for everybody.
• 48:36
  Speaker 15: Anyway, Joe, have a great day. Thanks for taking my call.
• 48:38
  Speaker 6: You planted a field of your own there, Kareem. Thank you, sir.
• 48:41
  Speaker 6: Stay dry. Let's go back to yesterday's program. Let's jump
• 48:46
  Speaker 6: into our TARDIS. Remember yesterday, we spent an inordinate amount
• 48:52
  Speaker 6: of time on a crazy blonde, blue-eyed master racer from Canada.
• 49:00
  Speaker 6: Leah McGowan on CNN let loose from the constraints of
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: having to actually have Scott Jennings on the other side
• 49:10
  Speaker 6: of the table. She's just been getting her Reich wing
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: on there and just marching through it, was discussing capitalism.
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: And we wanted to bring her out into the sunlight
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: because sunlight disinfects us from crazy ideas like McGowan's.
• 49:31
  Speaker 22: And unfortunately, capitalism is not working like that anymore for
• 49:33
  Speaker 22: most of the country. We have got to a place
• 49:35
  Speaker 22: where we have deregulated everything so much that only a
• 49:38
  Speaker 22: certain handful of people are actually succeeding in this version
• 49:42
  Speaker 22: of capitalism.
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: So you understand the insanity that she just said, because
• 49:48
  Speaker 6: we don't have regulations on the market, only a few
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: people can succeed. And that's because they're involved with the government.
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: So this is what happens when you're reading, you know,
• 50:01
  Speaker 6: because Chinese does not translate to English idiomatically in the
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: same way. So you can't just run some script written
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: for you in Beijing and hit it through chat GTP's
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: English translator and, you know, make any sense. I mean,
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: she's or she's unfortunately living down to the blonde stereotypes.
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: But she goes on because nobody's stopping her from this immolation.
• 50:33
  Speaker 22: We have gone from laissez-faire capitalism to like a predatory capitalism.
• 50:38
  Speaker 22: And where we are right now, and I've said this
• 50:39
  Speaker 22: a million times, is like when you play Monopoly and
• 50:42
  Speaker 22: somebody has all of the hotels on the whole board,
• 50:45
  Speaker 22: and it doesn't matter if you're playing the game right.
• 50:46
  Speaker 22: It doesn't matter if you're doing what you're supposed to do.
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: Which, by the way, getting hotels on the whole board
• 50:51
  Speaker 6: is how you play the game right, you nip. Must
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: control tongue of fire.
• 50:57
  Speaker 22: No matter if you get the education, if you get
• 50:59
  Speaker 22: the job, you are still always going to lose.
• 51:01
  Speaker 6: Well, first off, capitalism isn't a win-lose thing. Cronyism is
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: a win-lose thing. And this is where, you know, so
• 51:10
  Speaker 6: profit motive, the love of money. Now there's greed. Greed
• 51:15
  Speaker 6: is a vice. But wanting to make money is not
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: a vice. Wanting to be paid for what you do
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: is not a vice. And unfortunately, folks like Leah McGowan
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: get on TV enough to where the Vox Populi, you
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: hear the drumbeat so often, you figure this is the
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: rhythm of the world and you go along with it.
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: And shows like this, bless us, we are such a
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: small blip on the radar of mass media consumption, and
• 51:49
  Speaker 6: yet half the country gets what we're saying, which means
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: we're way closer to the truth than pretty blonde, blue-eyed,
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: chi-com spokesperson Lee McGowan. Have we allowed cronyism to corrupt
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: our economy? Yes. Can we fix it?
• 52:15
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 52:16
  Speaker 6: Do we need leaders with intestinal fortitude to start deregulating?
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: As long as we've got Aryan spokespeople of the Chi-Com movement,
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: where's David Bowie when, oh, my little China girl. That
• 52:31
  Speaker 6: should be Leah McGowan's walk-up music. Oh, my little China girl.
• 52:38
  Speaker 6: As long as they're dividing us along this idea that
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: the corporations are the enemy of We're going to allow
• 52:46
  Speaker 6: it because it's a comforting thought and we can't allow
• 52:49
  Speaker 6: the comfort.
• 52:51
  Speaker 13: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
• 52:54
  Speaker 13: feels like even a family road trip is taking a risk.
• 52:57
  Speaker 13: We don't want the feeling of being unprotected and vulnerable.
