1:04
Host of the Making the Argument podcast, Virginia elected official
1:09
who's taking a flyer at being more effective upstream from politics?
1:16
You know, the culture is upstream from politics. As Andrew
1:20
Breitbart pointed out to us this morning, as we gather
1:24
on the Saturday Network my friends back in my old
1:29
home stomping grounds of WRCN, Long Island News Radio. So
1:35
it really has touched me in ways. Somebody said, why
1:38
are you so fixated on this? I said, you know,
1:41
you don't get to go home again sometimes, and it's
1:46
such an honor to spend your time with you. And
1:48
if you really insist, it can be JT's Saturday Morning
1:53
All Requests show. Joel made requests on Friday's program, and
1:57
you got a request played. See I haven't forgotten how
1:59
to play requests for you guys out on Long Island
2:02
listening to us. At one oh three point nine, Joel
2:06
is on the phone with us. First thing this Saturday morning.
2:08
Good morning, Joel. What's going on, sir Joel? Do we
2:16
lose Joel? Oh? No, okay, we're having a phone issue
2:20
this Saturday morning. Hang on, Joel. I think my engineers
2:24
know how to fix this issue pretty quickly, and we'll
2:28
have it squared away for you in a moment. Just
2:31
give me a minute to to get this squared away
2:38
and a couple of clicks and a bop and then
2:42
we should be good to go. Here with Joel, let
2:47
me see if we got Joel back on the phone. Joel,
2:53
are you there? No, okay, So it's doing its thing here,
2:57
all right, So let's get Joel in in through the
3:01
back door here. And Joel, did we lose you completely? Yeah?
3:11
He hung up. All right, Well, call us back Joel
3:14
because we have a lot to get into this morning.
3:18
And there he is. I knew he'd call back. He's
3:21
an undaunted soul. That's our Joel there. So we're just
3:25
going to take his call this way, Joel, go ahead,
3:28
what's on your mind? So real quick?
3:30
Speaker 7: Good morning. I wanted to wish you a happy birthday
3:33
and if you have a birthday, So.
3:35
Speaker 3: Far, so good, aside from the phone system not letting
3:38
you through the front door, but that's okay. That's why
3:41
we keep side doors in the building for folks. That's
3:45
very kind of you. Yes, you are spending my birthday
3:47
with me, and I could be saying some things because
3:51
technically I was born at about ten PM ten forty three,
3:54
I believe, is what my birth certificate says, so I'm
3:57
still a few hours away from the actual moment of
4:00
my birth. But in Virginia, if they don't win the
4:03
House of Delegates, conservatives are going to have to face
4:06
a state that would allow my mother if she would
4:08
so desire, to end her pregnancy right up at this point.
4:14
And just for those who want that perspective, but I
4:17
appreciate it, my friend. How is your Saturday morning going.
4:21
Speaker 7: It's good. I'm actually in a pool right.
4:23
Speaker 3: Now, and oh nice, you'll rub it in, why don't you? Yeah,
4:29
I got you. I see you. I see what you're
4:31
doing right here. Well, get it, get some exercise. I
4:33
know you. It's how you like to relax and get
4:36
to get your exercise. Some people are out for a run,
4:39
some people go out for a swim. But I appreciate
4:42
the check in and thank you for the greeting, sir,
4:44
I appreciate it.
4:46
Speaker 7: You're welcome. You have a blessed day, and hope this
4:49
is a I always say your birthday is a New Year.
4:52
Speaker 3: So I think every day is in New year. See this,
4:55
Every morning is New Year's morning in my mind. But
4:59
that's just how I role so well.
5:02
Speaker 7: I mean, you can you can internally set your personal
5:06
goals and that's between you, yourself and and God.
5:10
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
5:11
Speaker 7: And that's that's what that's what I kind of think
5:14
of it that way.
5:15
Speaker 3: But okay, well that's that's fair. That's fair. You know,
5:18
we have our reset buttons wherever we want to keep them. Joel,
5:21
you have a good swim this morning, you too, Thank you. Right,
5:24
don't drop don't drop the phone into the pool. That
5:26
would be a bad look there. Four three four eight
5:29
A two four two one seven. We tell you the news,
5:32
and then we break down the news so that it's
5:35
easily digestible, and then ask you how it's impacting you.
5:39
This morning, our first things. Erica Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk,
5:46
spoke directly to the nation, posted a seventeen minute message
5:49
in which he said, evildoers responsible for my husband's assassination
5:55
have unleashed a movement more powerful than they can imagine.
6:00
President of Utah Valley University said the beauty of community
6:03
has shown through after the grievous act of violence that
6:06
rocked the campus in the assassination of Charlie Kirk earlier
6:10
this week. The suspect was arrested, according to authorities late
6:15
Thursday evening, but it wasn't announced until a press conference
6:19
on Friday morning. Tyler Robinson, twenty two year old, had
6:26
apparent according to family members been begun battling with them
6:29
at the dinner table over Charlie Kirk's politics, although they
6:33
didn't say which side, and that's an important part of
6:38
the narrative going forward, and we'll delve into that further.
6:41
Federal Appeals Court said the administration can end legal protections
6:45
for four hundred and thirty thousand migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua,
6:50
and Venezuela, and the EPA is ending greenhouse gas reporting requirements.
6:56
Those are some of our Saturday morning first things.
7:01
Speaker 8: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
7:04
people are actually happier with it, that sounds like something
7:07
to look into. And that's meta Share. Maybe you've heard
7:10
joining metas share can save you or your family up
7:13
to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but
7:16
it's also true. People are just happier with it. They
7:18
love being part of something that reflects and promotes their
7:21
values and what they believe in. Meta share works too.
7:24
It's been around for thirty years now and members have
7:27
shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
7:31
People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
7:34
So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
7:37
it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
7:39
of your health care, whether you're self employed or part
7:42
of the gig economy, or you just want to plan
7:44
that you're happy with.
7:46
Speaker 9: Here you go.
7:46
Speaker 8: You can call right now and get a price within
7:48
two minutes. A very very smart use of two minutes.
7:51
Here's the number you need.
7:52
Speaker 10: It's eight five to five share forty eight five five
7:55
share forty eight five five share.
7:59
Speaker 5: Forty Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
8:07
few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
8:12
I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
8:18
our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
8:22
any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
8:26
or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:31
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:36
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot Com where

9:05

9:16
personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
9:21
are not from US. Real solid security employees will never
9:25
threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
9:29
call like this, hang up. Never give the call of

9:58
Speaker 11: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah and it's always a boy.
10:01
Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
10:03
with animals. I'm not only in alle of their beauty
10:05
and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
10:08
at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
10:11
Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
10:14
or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
10:17
secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
10:20
jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
10:22
in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
10:25
by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
10:28
wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
10:32
they also perform life saving work every day.
10:34
Speaker 12: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
10:36
Speaker 11: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
10:39
They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change.
10:41
Speaker 12: In their blood chemistry.
10:43
Speaker 11: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
10:45
contribute to society and help those in need. So please
10:48
join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
10:51
dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
10:54
inhabit together. Go to American Humane dot org to learn more.
11:00
Speaker 13: Bruh, that's buzzed.
11:01
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 14: And now a speech.
11:06
Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
art and brain.
11:12
Speaker 3: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 15: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
11:15
brain is saying when it's time to go home, somebody
11:18
call me a ride.
11:19
Speaker 12: Love that guy, me too.
11:21
Speaker 16: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
11:23
it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:28
Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
11:31
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
11:35
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
11:39
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
11:42
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
11:46
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
11:49
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
11:52
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
11:56
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs when
12:00
you shop for a new appliance, look for the energy
12:03
Star logo and read the energy guide label. And there
12:06
are day to day things you can do. Lower your
12:09
thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer, close
12:12
fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep air
12:15
filters clean. For more tips on saving money by reducing

12:29
Speaker 18: As a family member or friend, you may be the
12:32
first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35
going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
12:40
anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
12:43
but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

13:11
Speaker 1: From the home of the First Amendment, First thing today.
13:15
Speaker 19: Stop blowing down Hell and the snow, the ball headed door, heir.
13:25
Speaker 3: Nor time on the FLA. You know it was never
13:32
a huge semi hagar guy, but you.
13:34
Speaker 2: Know a seven still last ten years. All the free
13:48
behind us now, good times, very old.
13:53
Speaker 3: Good takes that Merle Haggard's biscuit behind us now on
14:00
A certainly posted that to his Instagram account, and like
14:14
I said, you know, part of it was I was
14:17
a huge van Halen guy. And then when Dave left,
14:21
I was like, dude, well you can't have van Halen.
14:24
I mean, even though it's the guy's name, and so
14:28
there was always that, like, I don't know, Sammy replaced him.
14:32
It's like the It's like when your mom marries a
14:36
new husband. You know, it's just not It might be
14:39
a very perfectly it might even be a better guy,
14:41
but it's like it's not the original. But bless you
14:45
Sammy for that tribute to Charlie Kirk. There jihad it's
14:54
not just for Islamists anymore. And I say this for
15:00
those who didn't hear over the past week and the
15:04
Kirk assassination on September tenth, put in juxtaposition some interesting
15:11
moments and flash points and doing what I do and
15:18
being in the public eye the way I am. Certainly
15:21
not to the level that Charlie was. No massive movement
15:25
of college students, although I have my fair share of
15:28
kids who say they grew up listening to me as
15:31
their dad drove to work, and now they're conservative thought
15:35
leaders in their communities, which is an honor, but certainly
15:38
not to the level I would never but somebody who
15:42
has had my life threatened. Of course. The most grievous
15:50
instance was when the Riverhead police had to guard the
15:53
studios of one to three point nine because somebody said
15:58
I screwed them out of Aerosmith tickets at Jones Beach,
16:01
which I mean in the pantheon of things that you
16:04
can get bent out of shape for. But I told
16:15
the story September eleventh of this week that on the
16:22
fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks, I was broadcasting live
16:29
from Shanksville, Pennsylvania and the crash site. The Great Rick
16:36
Santorum was my co host for the event. It was terrific.
16:40
We were getting phone calls from all over the place.
16:42
People pleased, and certainly fifth anniversary, I was notable. They
16:49
had begun the fundraising to build what is now in
16:52
even more touching memorial, as they've added the gate a
16:56
seventeen sign from Newark Airport, where the flight Flight ninety
17:01
three had originated from. But while we were there doing
17:05
the broadcast, my wife and young children were accostan because
17:11
they were there and because they were supporting their husband
17:14
who was broadcasting there and supporting a government that they
17:17
found to be offensive. These were not Islamists. This was
17:24
not Al Qaeda. The people that told my ten year
17:29
old son that he was going to Hell regardless of
17:33
whatever he would do with his life because his father
17:37
was there supporting a country that allowed people to be gay.
17:44
The people, the jie Hottists that confronted my wife and
17:47
young children at that point were the Westboro Baptists. And
17:53
I say this because there is so much vagueness around
17:59
the assailant, the murderer, who, aside from the news coverage,
18:05
will remain nameless. As far as I'm concerned, I'd give
18:08
these people no notoriety. But some of the messages that
18:15
were scratched and etched into the cartridges have led the
18:25
led to the question, especially chow Bella expressions tied to
18:33
the followers of Nick Foyntes. And so I was reading
18:43
these coverages, and as with all this stuff, I dig
18:46
six seven, eight nine layers into it to see what's
18:50
going on there. But I can't shake the point that
18:52
the only other time I ever felt concerned about my
18:56
well being as a public figure was in the i'mmer
19:00
of twenty seventeen building up to the riots in what
19:03
is now part of our flagship neighborhoods Charlottesville, Virginia, back
19:11
before Charlottesville was an epithet a hashtag meaning race riot.
19:20
Because I wouldn't capitulate with the people who were building
19:26
the bonfire, the dumpster fire that they were about to
19:29
make in my hometown, because I had investigated them, and
19:33
I didn't believe them. I didn't believe in what they
19:36
stood for. I didn't believe. I saw enough of the
19:40
racism that was actually in there, and the xenophobia that
19:45
was in there, and I said, this is not American.
19:49
You can say you're against Black Lives Matter, doesn't mean
19:52
you're for what I'm for. They supported Jefferson only because
19:58
the ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter seemed to be against Jefferson,
20:02
and the leftists on UVa's campus did it. They were
20:05
only pro Jefferson because they were against the people who
20:09
wanted to take him down. In a brightly lit accounting
20:16
of the things Thomas Jefferson believed, they didn't believe a
20:19
single part of it, and so I didn't support them.
20:22
And then I was confirmed on that fateful Saturday of
20:26
August twelfth, twenty seventeen, when David Duke walked past me,
20:32
I said, Ah, now I know who is behind here.
20:34
I could never figure out who was pulling the strings
20:37
and paying the bills. And then I saw David Duke
20:39
walking past with Dick Spencer and our little local hand
20:45
puppet that was doing all the paperwork filings for them.
20:51
Another one who's not going to get any run from me,
20:53
And he didn't then either, and this made them violently
20:58
angry at me when as the screaming match on the
21:01
radio program I was doing, I was infringing on his
21:04
free speech rights because I wasn't promoting his dubious event.
21:13
So we're going to delve into this question of is
21:16
it Nick Fuentes and his followers, if you will, I
21:21
hate this idea that people have foul. I bless you
21:24
for being a listener, because things that the authorities are
21:29
saying about becoming more political doesn't indicate which direction politically.
21:42
And Nick fointes himself perhaps casts the most damning bit
21:47
of evidence. And we'll get into that when we come
21:49
back from the news at half past on this Saturday
21:51
morning live, so that they don't sneak this stuff past
21:55
you and it's become old news by the time the
21:58
talk shows reconvene on Monday. Not us.
22:01
Speaker 20: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League training for Planet Fitness,
22:04
and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
22:08
at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate aerobic
22:10
activity in a week's time. But here's the thing. That
22:13
one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to be
22:15
super intense. As a matter of fact, it could just
22:18
be you moving your body and doing what you already
22:20
love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart doesn't
22:24
just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your workout
22:27
routines with strength training as well. So we are super
22:30
excited to be launching our new plateloaded Strength series and
22:34
all of our gems. It's already fitted in seventeen hundred locations,
22:38
with the goal to have all twenty seven hundred fitted
22:40
by the end of twenty twenty five. So if you
22:43
need more information, go to our website at planetfitness dot
22:46
com or better yet, download our free Planet Fitness app.
22:49
Speaker 3: And with convenient locations.
22:51
Speaker 20: All around the world and most of our gyms being
22:53
open twenty four hours, it's bound to be one close
22:56
by you.
22:56
Speaker 21: For decades, America's offshore oil industry has relied on import
23:00
fouschaw in Louisiana, but now as Win Energy continues to grow,
23:04
many of these vessels, these companies, these people are building
23:08
and servicing the offshore wind industry, moving equipment, installing turbines,
23:13
transporting crews. It's a huge opportunity, and we're proud to be.
23:16
Speaker 3: A part of that.
23:17
Speaker 14: US Offshore wind has already announced over twenty five billion
23:20
dollars in infrastructure investments.

23:26
Speaker 8: Let's see if something costs less but people are happier
23:29
with it. Maybe you've heard switching to meta share to
23:32
pay for healthcare can save the typical family five hundred
23:35
bucks a month. You can save a ton and like
23:38
it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
23:40
of your health care. Whether you're self employed or part
23:43
of the gig economy, or you just want to plan

Speaker 5: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
24:07
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
24:12
am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
24:18
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
24:22
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
24:26
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
24:31
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:36
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
24:42
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
24:45
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
24:50
healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

26:26
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
26:30
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
26:34
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
26:37
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
26:41
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
26:44
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
26:47
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
26:51
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
26:54
when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
26:57
energy Star logo and read the energy guide label and
27:01
there are day to day things you can do. Lower
27:03
your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,

28:12
Speaker 1: The First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by
28:15
Joe Thomas, Do we have the clip of Erica.
28:22
Speaker 12: The evildoers.
28:25
Speaker 23: Responsible for my husband's assassination?
28:29
Speaker 12: I have no idea what they have done.
28:34
Speaker 3: I can't imagine the courage it takes to get there
28:44
and be able to calmly. And there's a piece to
28:53
that that I think many of you know, but we
28:58
all have to know. And there's a reason I'm going
29:01
to entertain this idea that these gropers of Nick Foyntes's
29:16
because I confronted it with the supposed, the alleged the
29:20
fakers called the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. I
29:25
faced it head on. I had security people teaching me
29:30
where to park at the radio station so that I
29:33
could be situationally aware how to harden the offices, because
29:41
there was a real concern that these people, not the
29:43
Black Lives Matter or Antifa, although I got eye face
29:47
full of pepper spray from them too, that there was
29:53
a real feeling that the people who were putting together
29:56
the Unite the Right, because I wasn't going along with it,
30:03
couldn't take it. And and the psychosis can be understand
30:08
understood if you look at the amassment of media on
30:14
the left and you say, well, hold on, we need
30:16
an amassment of the media on the right. But to
30:19
conserve what America is to not allow the terrorists to
30:26
make us like them. You have to understand that people
30:29
have different viewpoints, and that their rights only end when
30:36
they infringe on your rights. And if you infer your
30:39
right to dominion over speech or thought, we're going to
30:46
have a problem. And if your belief is that your
30:53
right is to have a racially pure country, we're going
30:58
to have a problem. And so when I discovered all
31:00
this about the people who alleged, and one of the
31:03
most frustrating things about twenty seventeen for me was that
31:06
I was continually being asked to defend the actions of
31:10
people who purported to be conservative when their ideas were
31:16
anything but American conservatism. And Erica Kirk's statements, and the
31:28
statements of the governor and the head of the state
31:32
police and the prosecutors in this case about becoming politically
31:37
active but not really necessarily, and the politicians, the ones,
31:41
the elected officials, the governor Cox of Utah staying away
31:46
from the which side of the politics leaves this gate
31:51
open for me to entertain this thought, this rumbling that
31:58
Chile Bella and all these other tropes are nods to
32:03
memes used by these gropers and then, as if to
32:17
prove the point, Nick Fointes takes to rumble and says this.
32:25
Speaker 12: This is a very delicate situation.
32:28
Speaker 3: All right, dude, So when you say stuff like that,
32:32
and he says more, but right off the drop, if
32:38
you can't say this is horrific, terrible, anethema to all
32:45
the things I stand for, then then you're saying something else.
32:51
You just are.
32:54
Speaker 12: This is a very delicate situation.
32:56
Speaker 3: Oh, you say it again, just to make sure you're
32:58
very clear that you're not saying this was bad. If
33:02
you can't say what happened at Utah Valley University was bad.
33:07
Speaker 12: But he goes on, I fear that this is set
33:10
off a chain.
33:11
Speaker 3: Reaction, again not saying it, And then as he glances
33:20
off camera to collect his thoughts from the teleprompter.
33:23
Speaker 22: I pray to God there is no further violence. I
33:26
pray to God, and so do we all. But then
33:33
nobody else has hurt as a result of this. I
33:35
hope that it stops here.
33:37
Speaker 3: Why are you so adamant that you say this, Nick.
33:41
Speaker 12: It should stop here To all of my followers. If
33:46
you take up arms, I disavow you. I disown you
33:50
in the strongest possible terms. I that is not what
33:55
we are about.
33:58
Speaker 3: And you needed to say this. I didn't need to
34:01
go on the air on September eleventh, in and amongst
34:05
our recollections of the twenty four years that have passed
34:10
since the terrorist attacks of September eleventh, two thousand and one,
34:14
and say this was a sensitive time. I didn't need
34:22
to tell my listeners don't take up arms. Why did
34:27
you feel the need to do that? Nick? I was
34:30
ready to give you the benefit of the doubt, despite
34:33
all the anecdotal evidence in my experiences that lead me
34:37
to give some at least enough to make a pile saying, okay,
34:43
was he a leftist? Or was he one of these gropers?
34:49
Was he like the Jason Kessler's Oh gosh, I said
34:53
his name, dang, and now he's going to appear. Was
34:56
he like the Dick Spencer's and the David Dukes in
34:59
Charlotte's Nick, someone who claims to know everything about Charlottesville
35:06
though he wasn't there. Someone who believes in what America
35:14
stands for, which is we are all created equal or not?
35:21
Because on September twelfth of two thousand and one, I
35:25
said to my listeners. I didn't say. I didn't have
35:28
to say don't take up arms, although there were plenty
35:30
of people on my phones, and I wasn't even doing
35:33
conservative talk radio. I was spinning tunes Star one oh
35:39
two point five in Buffalo, New York. And people were
35:44
calling and saying, we need to round up all of
35:46
the Muslims, and I said, no, we don't. If we do,
35:51
then we need to round up all the Western New Yorkers.
35:53
Because Timothy McVeigh was from Buffalo. That stopped him pretty cold. Said,
35:58
if you're gonna everyone for this, this is why I said.
36:02
And I opened the segment by saying, jihad, it's not
36:06
just for Islamists anymore. Jihad is a holy war, a
36:11
war that will not permit the existence of anyone but
36:15
those who are battling for it. A holy war is
36:20
to cleanse the society from any of the unbelievers, anyone
36:27
who does not follow your dogmatic beliefs. Fun fact for
36:33
this Saturday morning, what group do the Islamists kill in
36:41
greater numbers than any other group? You would imagine Jews? Right,
36:47
Your first guest might be Jews, maybe Christians, Americans, no
36:52
other Muslims. Adherence to other sects within. It would be
36:57
like if Thetherans were out there car bombing Baptist churches.
37:06
That's what happens inside that they're jihad And just because
37:11
somebody like Nick Fuent has put some Make America Great
37:14
hat on, just like Dick Spencer and David Duke put on,
37:17
it doesn't mean that you're anti Donald Trump. If you
37:21
say they're wrong. They're the fakers, They're the Charlatans. They're
37:29
the ones who are without the ability to create something
37:34
of their own, like Charlie Kirk did in his Turning
37:37
Point USA and somebody who on his platforms called them
37:45
out for their myopic, un American belief in all men
37:50
being created. E cool. So yeah, I will make a
37:55
pile and keep an eye on this Groyper story because
37:58
I think there may be some there there.

million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths

healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about
41:23
your risk for type two diabetes and heart disease, and
41:26
if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The
41:31

44:37
Speaker 6: For the kilsels.
44:47
Speaker 3: So in two thousand and one, albeit a music host
44:52
and a shock jock, still and I was evolving. I
44:55
had and I think two thousand and one went a
44:59
long way to words ending my career as a shock
45:03
jock rock and roll radio guy. But one of the
45:08
points we were making, and it was not just me,
45:12
I sought out help and those who understood terrorism, not
45:18
just Islamist terrorism, but terrorism. Terrorism is shooting somebody in
45:25
front of you. Terrorism is beating somebody mercilessly. Terrorism takes
45:33
many forms. The idea is to get you to change,
45:38
not out of debate or convincement, but out of fear survival.
45:46
And in two thousand and one it became ardently important
45:53
for me to continue the campaign of we don't beat
45:57
the terrorists by becoming like the terrorists. And it strikes
46:09
me here twenty four years later, in the wake of
46:13
the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the very real possibility
46:17
in my mind, and your results can vary. I mean
46:19
we are not, you know, dogmatic that way. If you
46:22
have a differing viewpoint, if you say, well, Nick Foydes
46:25
loves Donald Trump's you can't say anything bad about him,
46:28
I would beg to differ. But it's an understandable belief
46:33
that since everyone else seems marshaled against the Trump administration,
46:38
you know, we can't. We can't say the guy who
46:42
thinks that only Caucasians should live here might not be
46:46
one of us, not an American, not an American conservative.
46:53
And the left and this supposed right, and I say
46:58
it's supposed because they're really the left. This is what
47:03
everyone was saying. Oh, I've got columnists in Virginia here saying, see, hey,
47:08
this guy was mega. This guy was a follower of
47:12
Nick foind Is. This guy was a right winger. No,
47:15
anyone who believes the stuff Nick foinds is a left
47:18
wing fascist Nazi. Anyway, he's a nationalist socialist. That's what
47:24
the Unite the Right people were said. The right isn't socialist.
47:30
The right in America is anything but socialist. So you're
47:35
still correct, to say these were leftists, whether it turns
47:39
out to be the gropers or the AOC and the
47:45
dark stains on society that have been disemboweling their hatred
47:50
on that black mirror we call social media. But we've
47:57
become like the radical Islamists. It strikes me that we
48:05
are killing each other over our political or our ideological differences,
48:12
just like they do. We've become like them purity tests
48:20
and if you're not going to the place I go,
48:22
then that's what they do. This was what we were
48:28
hoping to fight, but we've become like they are. So
48:33
the terrorists from September eleventh on up are winning. And
48:40
that makes me mad. That makes me angry and frustrated
48:44
and redoubling of my efforts to fight this kind of
48:49
disease of hatred, the kind of disease that rots you
48:57
from the inside out. And I know you're sitting there saying,
49:01
come on, Joe, I need to get my Saturday started.
49:03
Holy cow, can you bring the yuks? Can you make
49:06
fun of somebody?
49:07
Speaker 25: Please?
49:09
Speaker 3: And we will. There's plenty of people to make fun of,
49:12
and some of it is these folks, like the fakers
49:17
that claim conservatism when they're anything bond. They deserve all
49:28
the lampooning they can get because they, like all the
49:32
other fascist left wingers, can't stand it when they're not
49:38
taken grievously seriously, and I might as a human, my
49:45
heart breaks for them because there's something broken in their souls,
49:48
just like this guy on the rooftop, something broken in
49:52
his soul, his last good marble fell out, just like
49:54
the guy in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the stabbing of
49:59
Arenaszoru and all the callous souls that killed in cold
50:07
blood all the other nights, to paraphrase, red buttons and
50:13
never got a dinner, never got a vigil. Maybe in
50:20
their neighborhood, ten or twelve people gather, but there are
50:25
vigils all across the country for Charlie Kirk, and many
50:30
of them, realizing that it seems a little awkward, have
50:34
included Arena Zarutska. I hope we raise money all these
50:40
vigils that have been called for Charlie Kirk and Arena Zarutska.
50:45
Can we pass the hat for her final resting bills
50:51
because the guy who killed her has got more money
50:54
in his GoFundMe account. How do you make like I said,
51:01
the social media is a black mirror into our souls.
51:05
You know what. It's a sports weekend too, and our
51:08
buddy Mac McDonald from the Dan Patrick School of Sportscasting
51:13
and our sports director laid out a little bit of
51:15
the weekend for sith going on.
51:17
Speaker 26: I mean not that you know, you got Georgia Tennessee,
51:19
and you got you know, the Virginia game, which is
51:21
going to be you know, very dramatic with uh, you know,
51:25
the strong game and you know, honoring the football guys
51:29
that were you know that were killed three years ago.
51:32
And then but Virginia Tech and Old Dominion. This was
51:34
interesting because.
51:35
Speaker 3: Back in July.
51:38
Speaker 26: They they reworked a seven game contract. Doctor wood Seeley,
51:42
who's the athletic director at Old Dominion, used to be
51:44
at UVA of course and a good friend. They renegotiated
51:47
a seven game series following an original thirteen game contract
51:51
which was put together in twenty twelve. So Old Dominion
51:54
is going to play in Blacksburg in twenty five, twenty
51:56
six and thirty Well games in Norfolk scheduled for twenty seven,
52:00
twenty nine and thirty one have been canceled. So undoubtedly
52:04
all the working you know in Blacksburg where Brent Price
52:07
is why do we.
52:08
Speaker 3: Go to Norfolk and w Babcock then cuts the deal?
52:11
Here's it?
52:11
Speaker 26: So wood Seedy says, Okay, we'll agree to this contract
52:16
and play our games. But your basketball team has got
52:19
to cut a deal with the men's basketball team and
52:22
have it no later than twenty twenty seven to twenty eight.
52:24
So what is taking the basketball team at Old Dominion
52:28
using it as a chip to be able to you know,
52:31
to put together a you know, to make sure the
52:33
football series stays alive. So let you stop back the
52:36
little history lesson and followed by Brent Pry knowing how
52:39
tough this team can be. Yeah, it was three years
52:43
ago in Nuffolk, second down inside the one I get
52:48
it is Watson this time he is it for.
52:51
Speaker 25: My name is Bobby.
52:52
Speaker 12: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
52:55
Speaker 4: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
52:58
weightlifting champion.
53:00
