  Speaker 1: I'm more mega now make America great again than I've
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: ever been. Making mornings great again. First thing today on
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, the blessings of a Tedstee, whether it be through
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: amplitude or frequency modulation, you receive it, just receive it.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: If you get it, you get it. There where we
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: celebrate God's gifts to you, your zealous pursuit of them
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: in the benefit or to the benefit of a grateful
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: constituency who, of course, reward you justly. and therefore you
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: don't need to worry about the nattering nabobs of negativism.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I am Joe, and I will tell you what went
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: on last night. This is what my Tedness is. I'll
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: tell you what went on last night. I'll tell you
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: how we analyze it after we've sent it to the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: lab and it's come back in easily digestible gummies. And
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: once we've done that, I want to find out how
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: it's impacting you where you are. You can call at
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: 434-882- 4217 or text message. It's a multitasker like Scott
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: in Virginia Beach, just transitioning. Oh, we love to transition,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: don't we, Scott? I'm teasing you. I'm teasing Scott. He's
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: listened to our affiliate WTAR up until six, and now
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: he's listening to us on the stream from our flagship station.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Current media and governments love to amplify problems. I think
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: he's jumping off of the story we told you The
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Federal Communications Commission is about to crack down on broadcasters again,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: saying that's the same reason we can't do any favors
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: for small businesses, because we have to protect our political rate.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure the political rate idea was put into
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: place with the best of intentions to make sure that
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: political ads cost the least they could possibly cost. But
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: what it's done, its unintended consequence was price out the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: little guy. And it isn't even corporations. My wife and
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I don't particularly care. So we charge our advertisers $ 5
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: a unit for their advertising on our local station. And
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: guess what? Congressman Ben Klein gets to buy ads. Bert
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Misozawa can buy ads for the same amount of money.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: But now the FCC is saying, you know what? Americans
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: for prosperity should be able to get that same rate too.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: And you know what I say? It's fine. It's what
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: we charge the dry cleaner down the street too. And
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: the startup food truck and all those folks, that's what
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: we charge them. But you're right. They cause their problems. Scott,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: we're going to delve into your text a little bit,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: but I have to get our first things into the
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: air so that we can discuss all the stuff. China.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: China.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: China flexing yesterday, first off on Ukraine's Independence Day, sending
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: congratulations to President Zelensky and offering to play a strong
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: diplomatic role in ending Russia's war against Ukraine. Zelensky posted
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: on X thanking Chinese Chairman Xi for the congratulations on
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Independence Day and saying peace can be our shared achievement.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Then China flexed on the economic D-Day that Scott Besson
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: announced yesterday as sanctions weigh in on those who trade
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: with Iran. Lin Zhan, spokesman for China's foreign ministry, said
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Tuesday that Beijing will, quote, take all necessary measures to
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: firmly safeguard its own rights and interests. Runoffs yesterday in
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of primaries that had gone unresolved. Senator Darlene
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Nardone won South Carolina's Republican U.S. Senate runoff, defeating Ralph
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Norman 52.5 percent to 47.5 percent. President Trump mounted a
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: late push to get out the vote, telling South Carolinians
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: that just pretend he's on the ballot. She will face
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Democrat nominee Annie Andrews in November. Meanwhile, in Oklahoma, former
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: State Senator Mike Mazzei got an endorsement late from President
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Trump and narrowly beat State Attorney General Gentner Drummond for
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the Republican nomination to run for governor. The margin was 50.3%
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: to 49.7%. Democrat runoffs, too. Everton Blair won a special
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: election runoff to serve the remainder of of the late
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Congressman David Scott's term in Georgia's 13th congressional district. He
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: was the former chair of the Gwinnett County School Board,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: defeated Scott's daughter Marcy in the runoff. And then in
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma's Democrat U.S. Senate runoff, Nikila Jasmine Thomas defeated attorney
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and minister Jim Priest to advance in the matchup in
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: November against Republican Representative Kevin She received 60% of the vote.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: President Trump said on Tuesday the U.S. Navy has cleared
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: all mines from the international waters in the Strait of
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Hormuz and warned Iran that any attempt to mine the
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: shipping route again would draw an immediate military response. And
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: he sent the deal that he's cut with Saudi Arabia
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: to help them with their civil nuclear energy program, but only,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: he said, if they normalize relations with with Israel. And
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: those are our first things.
• 6:10

• 8:08
  Speaker 7: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 8:36

• 8:42
  Speaker 7: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,

  Speaker 9: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 9:53
  Speaker 9: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: I'm Dr.

  Speaker 9: Susan Rehm of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. When
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: I speak with my patients, I urge them to get
• 10:10
  Speaker 9: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,

  Speaker 11: We depend on our drinking water supply daily, but where

• 10:43

  Speaker 6: If you came across someone struggling with hunger, how would
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: you recognize them? By their clothes? Their age? The way
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: they speak? Would you notice the 16-year-old boy who.
• 11:13
  Speaker 10: Got his first job?
• 11:15
  Speaker 12: Not for extra spending money, but to help feed his
• 11:17
  Speaker 12: little sisters.
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: to bed hungry so her kids can have dinner. Or
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: a 14-year-old girl who signs up to every after-school activity
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: not to make friends, but just to get something to eat.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: Or a retiree who fell ill and.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Had to choose between getting medicine or groceries.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: I am the one in eight Americans who struggle with hunger.
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: People you pass by every day but never knew were hungry.
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: I am hunger in America.

• 12:02
  Speaker 12: Think about this. There are five freedoms guaranteed in the
• 12:05
  Speaker 12: First Amendment. Freedom of religion. Freedom of speech. Freedom of
• 12:09
  Speaker 12: the press. Freedom to peaceably assemble. Freedom to petition the government.
• 12:14
  Speaker 12: Which freedom can you live without? Fortunately, the First Amendment
• 12:18
  Speaker 12: doesn't make you choose. It protects all five freedoms equally.

• 12:31
  Speaker 15: You guys, I love this song.
• 12:34
  Speaker 16: I love these nachos. I love our kickball league.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I love this guy.
• 12:42
  Speaker 16: What's your name? You know what I love? A ride
• 12:45
  Speaker 16: when it's time to head out.
• 12:46
  Speaker 14: If you see a buzzed warning sign, call for a
• 12:49
  Speaker 14: ride when it's time to go home.
• 12:50
  Speaker 16: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: We've cut the cost of radio listening by, hell, it
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: didn't cost anything in the first place, so let's say
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: $ 1 million. And call it even. First Thing Today by
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Sure, when we make it free for all, it'll never
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: be more expensive, right? And so Scott's text... on this
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: FCC rule that I'm sure at the time, congressmen were like,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: you know, we could cut the cost of political campaigns
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: if we just didn't, you know, require broadcasters to give
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: us the lowest rate they charge anyone else. And I'm
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: sure their idea was justified, at least in their addled minds,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: having spent too much time drinking the D.C. tap water.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: But what it did was it actually screwed all the
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: small businesses because broadcasters decided, hey, it's easy money to,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: you know, when the campaign consultant who's, by the way,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: being paid on a percentage of the ad buy goes
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: out and just starts buying ads. Well, let's make sure
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: we're getting the most we can get rather than making
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: sure that Congress people and senators and governors get the
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: get the lowest rate. They screwed all the people that
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: would have been getting those low rates to promote the
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: start of their food truck or their delicatessen or their
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: guitar business on a Ted's D. And they were told,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: we're sorry, our rate is a hard line at $ 100
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: a commercial. Well, I can't afford that. I only have $ 100. Well,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: sorry about that, but we have to protect our political rate,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: which is what has happened. The The consequence of this
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: regulation is that broadcasters now will set their political rate
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: as their absolute minimum. You can't go below that. And
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: they'll set it at a high level because they know
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: that when Congressman What's-His-Face shows up with his campaign consultant
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: getting paid on a percentage of the ad buy, they
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: want to make big ad buys. And you want to
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: be on the receiving end of those big ad buys.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: And you don't want to be charging them $ 5 a commercial.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: So the little guy gets screwed by regulations. Scott's text
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: message to that point was exactly to that point. It's always,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: you know, they love, meaning the media and governments, they
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: get into the chorus of something needs to be done.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: They rarely solve the problem, but they swear they will
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: fix the next one. And that's, you know, just like
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: the voting. We've watched voting decline. Voter turnout has declined
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: every year since we've been falling all over ourselves to, quote,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: make it easier.
• 16:09
  Speaker 17: Right?
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Forty-five days of early voting in Virginia, two weeks here,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: one week there, mail-in voting all over the place, don't
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: even have to leave your house. Pretty soon there's going
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: to be an X account that you can vote on.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: And every time we turn around, there's lower and lower
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: voter turnout. But I tell you, one of the things
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: that is really busy, and I can bear testimony, as
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I do anyway, but I went into jcsgold.com world headquarters yesterday.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I wanted to say hi to James Luck in person,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: and I couldn't do it. because his mom and dad
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: said he was, what was it? Frank Sinatra was in
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: that movie, Cinderfella, where it was basically they took Cinderella
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: and flipped it over on, you know, and Frank Sinatra
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: was Cinderella. James had to finish all the packing of
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: all the orders that had to be sent out before
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: he could go to the ball yesterday. So I didn't
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: get a chance to say hello to him in person
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: at jcsgold.com headquarters there, James. So good morning. I'm sorry
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I missed you yesterday.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: That's okay.
• 17:22
  Speaker 18: I wish that someone would have told me and I
• 17:24
  Speaker 18: could have gotten a break and maybe even gotten a
• 17:27
  Speaker 18: glass of water.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: They apparently weren't into the whole idea of giving James
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: a break in getting the orders shipped out. But that's
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: what families do. I mean, I'm sure they gave you
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: a hard time about it at dinner. But James' mom
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: and dad and his brother, they all chatted with me
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: for a little bit. And they kept telling me, oh,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: James is busy packing up all the stuff. that people
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: have ordered at jcsgold.com. So at least it made me
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: feel good that you guys are busy there.
• 17:56
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Next time, Joe, demand a proof of life. Well, I
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: get a photograph. It's like, look, here's James. We took
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: this picture in his office chair. So how are gold
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: and silver doing this morning?
• 18:12
  Speaker 18: They're having a little bit of a pullback this morning.
• 18:14
  Speaker 18: Kind of the same way they started yesterday morning, but
• 18:17
  Speaker 18: then they ended up climbing throughout the day. We're at
• 18:19
  Speaker 18: the same level today. A little bit of a breather
• 18:24
  Speaker 18: here on this breakout run. Gold is down about three-quarters
• 18:28
  Speaker 18: of a percent, down $ 40 to $ 4, 618.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Silver is down just a tenth of a percent to $ 68.
• 18:30
  Speaker 14: 56.
• 18:30
  Speaker 18: A lot of people are seeing this as, you know,
• 18:32
  Speaker 18: that The great little breather, a great time to buy,
• 18:43
  Speaker 18: to get in on the breakout, but still not at
• 18:47
  Speaker 18: the breakout prices necessarily. But like we always say, it's
• 18:51
  Speaker 18: not something that you can really time the highs and
• 18:54
  Speaker 18: the lows perfectly on the roller coaster. You just buy
• 18:58
  Speaker 18: when your budget allows. You set up once every two weeks,
• 19:01
  Speaker 18: once a month, so you can stack gold and silver.
• 19:04
  Speaker 18: Sometimes you get it at the little bit cheaper price
• 19:06
  Speaker 18: on the correction. Other times you buy into the breakout.
• 19:08
  Speaker 18: But ultimately, you're building your position over time.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: This is why I say get your advice from somebody
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: who's not trying to make a quota. As a matter
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: of fact, who's trying to keep up with what's coming in,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: never mind making a quota or upselling or anything. When
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: you go online, jcsgold.com, or if you call them after
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: 10 Eastern at 434-979-7000. Coin, make sure you say hi
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: to James and find out if he's got any free
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: time to chat with you. But everyone there, it's not
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: just James. Everyone there gives great advice. And we kid
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: because we care, James. You have a great morning, sir. Thanks, Joe.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: You too. You too. 434-979-COIN for jcsgold.com. Clark is on
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: the line. Oh, please, don't let me forget. I want
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: to talk about this coal company in West Virginia. that
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: has figured it out. And I'm sure it's to the
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: chagrin of all the greenies and nothing, nothing makes me
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: happier than to give chagrin to the greenies there. But what? No,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: is it Cheshire chagrin? Now you see you're working too
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: hard for that. Clark, good morning, sir. How are you
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: doing this morning?
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Joe, I couldn't be better. My arteries have made gases
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: while I was doing plate-loaded fitness and listening to Joe
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Thomas tell me the first thing.
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the way you should start your day. So
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Well, let's see. Your Palo Alto story got me thinking.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: If you're joining us in progress, a Palo Alto high
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: school took a field trip to a mosque so that
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: they could participate in all of the ceremonies and get
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: their own hijabs, and they can't get real jobs, but
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: they can get hijabs. And they all took home a
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: copy of the Quran for themselves. And I just was wondering,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: what would happen if somebody said, hey, let's do the
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: same thing to a Catholic church? What would the hue
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: and cry sound like?
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: It would be a hue and a cry, and there'd
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: be chagrin, so there you go.
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: Now, here's the thing.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Joe, we as conservatives We have to be intellectually honest,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: especially with ourselves.
• 21:25
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Remember when the poop map came out, San Francisco, et cetera,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: et cetera?
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, don't go down this street because it's, yeah. I remember.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I was judgmental, Joe. I was. These people are defecating
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: in the street, and I was judgmental. I had a
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: conversation via text. To the person in California yesterday.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Uh-oh. And they've upbraided you because of that? I'm almost
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: afraid to hear what they were saying to you, Dr.
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: Clark.
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,

  Speaker 1: From the home of the First Amendment. First thing today.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: News rolled up on us at the end of our...
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: We were talking with Dr. Clark about an interaction he had.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Gene.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Tanks in listening to us on 1490 WGCH out of
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: my mom's hometown. He says, was Clark getting attacked by
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: leftists because he calls into the radio show? I don't know.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, Clark. But so what was the
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: guy on with you about? What was he?
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: A picture at the fuel pump. They'd gotten 25 gallons
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: of diesel fuel, and it was well over $ 200.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Now, they were upset because Trump. And I went on
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: to explain that, you know, your fuel costs that much
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: because of leftist policies.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: But I got to thinking about it, Joe. You know,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: we would never think of making fun of of a
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: mentally challenged person because they didn't do well on a
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: standardized test. We wouldn't think of it. And here I
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: was being judgmental because Californians poop in the street. Joe,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: they live in a perpetual state of overwhelming rectal challenge.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: They are so full of agitprop crap, they can't help it.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: It's just got to come out.
• 30:00
  Speaker 10: It's not their fault.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: It's just got to come out somewhere.
• 30:05
  Speaker 10: They're caught short constantly.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: They're that full of their own crap.
• 30:10
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: And I think it's a biological imperative that it's going
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: to have to come out when it comes out.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: I was wrong. I was judgmental. And for this, I apologize. Now,
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: did you look at the SCOTUS decision on the Postal
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Service thing?
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: About the mail-in ballots that you can't use the U.S.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Postal Service until you've verified your voter rolls with the
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: federal government.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:39
  Speaker 15: Six to three, Joe.
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: You know what that tells me?
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Three of the Supremes decided that the Postal Service, who
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: is tasked with ensuring that the mail.
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: Is not used for fraud.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: was not allowed to ensure that there was no fraud.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: That's so well said. But that's, again, where we can't
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: define things. Remember, one of those three can't define what
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: a woman is. So she's obviously going to step down
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: at some point to take over as the WNBA commissioner there.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Good stuff, Dr.
• 31:22
  Speaker 15: Clark.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. I got this one. Kareem, part of
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: the research team here at First Thing Today, sent me
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: a clip of the old Mike Douglas TV show. Now,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Mike Douglas used to do an afternoon talk show. I
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: presume it was live. I used to watch it when
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: it was the 70s and 80s. So you had Johnny
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Carson on at 11 at night. You had, I think, Sally, Jesse, Raphael, and.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Who was the guy? Phil Donahue in the early part
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: of the day. This is pre-Oprah. Oprah was just a
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: reporter for Baltimore television at the time. And you had
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Mike Douglas, who was on Happy Hour. And he would
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: get a lot of music. He liked a lot of
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: musical guests and folks like that. And the text message
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: that Kareem sent me is, The Tedness of Dolly Parton
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: is confirmed.
• 32:23
  Speaker 17: He was with us because he had never done a
• 32:25
  Speaker 17: talk show, and he's back with us, and now he's
• 32:27
  Speaker 17: going to perform.
• 32:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah, a little boogie-woogie with the band.
• 32:30
  Speaker 16: Are we in on this?
• 32:31
  Speaker 22: Yeah, a little kids and all the girls can sing.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Dolly, we'll all, we'll all, Susan.
• 32:35
  Speaker 20: Traditional.
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 32:36
  Speaker 10: Go, man.
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: Go, man.
• 32:52
  Speaker 22: Dolly's got a microphone.
• 32:56
  Speaker 11: In this bit, and I don't know if she's going
• 32:59
  Speaker 11: to sing or not in it, but there she is.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: It's a.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: 1980s iteration of Dolly Parton. If Dolly sings at any one,
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: you know, lift this, lift this, and we can use
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: it as a bumper today. But it just, you know,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: shows you appreciate. And Ted, I don't know how you
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: do it. See, my hair does what Ted's does.
• 33:38
  Speaker 9: Oh, Mike Douglas sings.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe we will lift this for a bumper.
• 33:42
  Speaker 15: Oh!
• 34:04
  Speaker 23: This is posted by the way uh to ted nugent's
• 34:16
  Speaker 23: own uh feed so we're gonna have to lift that
• 34:18
  Speaker 23: now uh is that susan anton singing with her as
• 34:21
  Speaker 23: well um but uh you know now we got dolly
• 34:24
  Speaker 23: singing with ted on.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: A ted's d um So I appreciate it, Kareem. You
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: get a free pass to call whenever you want now
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: to first thing today at 434-882-4217. What? Well, I know
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: they can call anytime, but it sounds better if I
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: say that he's got a special pass to call. I
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: know it's made up. Most things in life are made up.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: I'm going to increase the price of this by 100%
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: and then give you a 50% discount. So I want
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: to bridge the gap here to this story that I
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: think it's important to make sure that people see this.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: So a company out of West Virginia has.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Started.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: using coal, West Virginia, good bit of coal underneath West Virginia.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: The country, the company is called Frontier Us. And it's, they've,
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: they've apparently got $ 2. 1 trillion in market capitalization. Because instead
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: of burning coal, what they've done is they've mined the coal.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: They've dug the coal out, which is still there under
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: West Virginia. It's still there under a lot of Virginia,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: in case you're listening. And they've created a technology that
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: separates the coal into six different individual parts, including jet fuel,
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: diesel fuel, pure hydrogen. Now, that's a fuel cell filling thing, too.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: And we were told one of the reasons the hydrogen
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: fuel cell vehicles were not efficient was that it took
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of energy input to separate the hydrogen out
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: of the decomposing wastes in, say, a landfill. Because to me,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: you know, the idea is you turn our landfills into
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: oil fields, you just suck the hydrogen out of there.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: But I'm told... that in order to do that in
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: a pure form, it would cost a lot of money.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: But apparently this Frontieris, in their breaking down of the
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: coal that they've been mining out from under West Virginia,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: can get hydrogen. So I love the hydrogen fuel cell
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: stuff because the byproduct is water vapor, which right after
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: hydrogen fuel cell vehicles started to become discussed, The green
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: agenda people announced, oh, you know what else is a pollutant?
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Water vapor. Oh, yeah, no, it's dangerous pollutant right there
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: with carbon dioxide. So the worst thing you can do
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: is run your humidifier while you're talking or breathing, for
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: that matter, because the greenies say that water vapor and
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: the very exhalations of humans are the most dire things.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: of pollutants on the world. So you know what, Frontierists,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: just go back to burning the coal because we're much
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: more dangerous than all the coal-fired power plants might be.

  Speaker 16: Hi, everybody.
• 40:59
  Speaker 24: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 41:02
  Speaker 24: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 41:05
  Speaker 24: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 41:07
  Speaker 24: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 41:09
  Speaker 24: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes,
• 41:13
  Speaker 24: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 41:16
  Speaker 24: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 41:18
  Speaker 24: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 41:21
  Speaker 24: to navigate the trees.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: And the wild in search of fruit.
• 41:24
  Speaker 24: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 41:27
  Speaker 24: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 41:30
  Speaker 24: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
• 41:34
  Speaker 24: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 41:36
  Speaker 24: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 41:39
  Speaker 24: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 41:42
  Speaker 24: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 41:45
  Speaker 24: trained roles that contribute to society and help.
• 41:47
  Speaker 16: Those in need.
• 41:48
  Speaker 24: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 41:51
  Speaker 24: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this

• 42:07
  Speaker 12: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 42:11
  Speaker 12: Heart and brain.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 42:15
  Speaker 12: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 42:18
  Speaker 12: somebody call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 19: Love that guy.
• 42:21

• 43:04
  Speaker 17: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 43:08

  Speaker 17: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.

  Speaker 1: News and analysis now without artificial colors First Thing Today
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure what all that was. It was a
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: little off-putting there. Voices in my head there. A couple
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: of reactions to the gas story. Joe, doesn't this fly
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: in the face of your point regarding regulation? So Frontieris,
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: if I understand it correctly, because the government is cracked
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: down on using coal in our power plants, has found
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: something else to do with it. This seems to belie
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: your argument that government regulations just make things worse. I
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: can see how you would get to that point, because
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Frontieris then said, well, if I'm not allowed to, or
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: we're not allowed to sell coal to the electric companies anymore,
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: who can we sell it to? And I would argue
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: that this is a failure of the government regulations because
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: what they didn't do is they went after the end
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: user rather than the beginning of it. If the government
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: truly wanted to do something with coal, they would have
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: banned the extraction of it, and then Frontierist would have
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: been completely out, making things worse. But understand, your electric
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: bills are higher because... they can't use coal. And I
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: don't know what the pencil out, the ROI is. I
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: know that they've got a $ 2. 1 trillion capitalization of this
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: market that they've created for all of this stuff. And
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: it's not created. I mean, people needed hydrogen and they
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: needed all this stuff. They were apparently able to make
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: diesel fuel out of it, which would be good for
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Clark's friend in California who's paying $ 8 a gallon for diesel.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: And I know it's expensive, but you know what? This
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: is such an easy fix because Rudolph Diesel intended his
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: engines to run on anything, literally anything a farmer could
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: come up that had the ability to burn. Not even
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: really well. I mean, if he just had rendered fat,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: from butchering your chickens or your hogs. You could get
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: it into a tank and pump it into your engine.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: It would run your tractor. That was the point of
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: the diesel engine. And we've lost all that because people
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: wanted to sell, by the way, byproducts of kerosene distillation.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: They were like, you know, we have this stuff left
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: over and Well, I don't know what to do with it.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Maybe we could force, and again, go back to what
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: we said about Dolly Parton never calling Al Gore to
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: try to shut down or regulate Nashville, never called Fred
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Thompson and said, hey, Fred, can you put some regulations?
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: The Shania Twain woman is cutting into my record sales. However,
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: the folks who are distilling the kerosene wanted to create
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: a market for this byproduct of it. And they're like, hey,
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: how about you tell farmers they've got to use this stuff?
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: And it was cheap at the time. It was a byproduct.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: And so farmers started using this diesel fuel byproduct of
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: the kerosene distillation into their tractors because it was readily
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: available and cheap. They didn't have to go through the
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: time of rendering down all the fat out of the
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: butcherings of their farm livestock. They just went to the thing,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: got it. It was pennies, pennies, and it was affordable.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: That's the marketplace. But it was an oil baron who
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: wanted to sell diesel fuel. And he put his thumb
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: on the scales. Good morning. You're on the air with Joe.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: First thing this morning, who's this?
• 48:34
  Speaker 10: Morning, Joe. It's Kareem. I'm cashing in my chips.
• 48:39
  Speaker 13: No, no.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: You have a lifetime supply of calls now. I've made
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: them up. I've made this benefit up so you can
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: call every day, which you do anyway, but that's okay.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: It's cool. I really appreciated finding that video on the
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: Ted Nugent feed. I hadn't had a chance to go
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: to Ted's ex-account. and see anything there, but he posted
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: this video of him with Dolly Parton singing with him
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: on the old Mike Douglas show, and Kareem, thank you
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: for finding it. So what else is on your mind
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: this morning?
• 49:12
  Speaker 10: Glad I could share, and thank you for playing it. Joe,
• 49:16
  Speaker 10: there's a lot to pull from. I want to focus
• 49:18
  Speaker 10: on this FCC contemplation.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 49:22
  Speaker 10: And I'm going to throw a wrench in the monkey works.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 49:26
  Speaker 10: Or a monkey wrench in the works. Who knows what
• 49:28
  Speaker 10: it is?
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: Spanner in the works. How about that?
• 49:30
  Speaker 10: Oh, boy, aren't you technical. Good job. So looking at Joe... Honestly,
• 49:39
  Speaker 10: I see farmers markets announcements as– it is free market,
• 49:44
  Speaker 10: which I think is fantastic, but also as a public
• 49:46
  Speaker 10: service announcement. Now, granted, this is going into the weeds
• 49:51
  Speaker 10: a little bit, but I'll zoom back out to the
• 49:53
  Speaker 10: big picture or at least a big part of the picture.
• 49:56
  Speaker 10: You could even do– I'm not saying you as in you,
• 49:59
  Speaker 10: Joe Thomas and WTON. Our flagship season. shout out to
• 50:05
  Speaker 10: the trifecta of whatever those three places.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Are Larry Curley and Moe Virginia so you can do
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: interviews with local entrepreneurs or even let's say city elder
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: type people who just want to get the word out.
• 50:24
  Speaker 10: And that could be separate from an advertisement but keeping it.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: Simple this is where the FC if I charge somebody
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: for it That goes on to my record regarding what
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: the advertising rates are. We have people who offer to
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: buy blocks of time for commercials, but the FCC for
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: their political rates, and this is something, I'm sure it
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: was for the best intentions. I'm sure politicians presented it
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: to the Vox Populi as a way to bring down
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: the costs of these campaigns. so that more people could
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: be involved. And what they just did was instead of
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: bringing down the cost of campaigns, they increased the costs
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: of advertising, especially on these corporations who, you know, see
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: this as an abstract. They're not looking at it from
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: the Stanton, Virginia farmer's market. So what they've done, the
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: unintended consequence is they've made these corporations, Or they've set
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: up the scenario, I should say. The corporations don't have
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: to do it. But they set a floor for advertising.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: So if you want to buy a commercial, it's $ 50, $ 100,
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: whatever they feel like the political rate should be. And
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: the rest of you, too bad. We're going to upcharge
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: the politicians and pass the savings along to our shareholders?
• 51:58
  Speaker 10: Just like they passed on those tariff-free funds?
• 52:00
  Speaker 17: Yes.
• 52:01
  Speaker 10: If we're looking at that, two quick points, hopefully cut
• 52:05
  Speaker 10: out before the news does. One, the first, just bless
• 52:09
  Speaker 10: Dolly Parton's soul, but she was the fourth in line
• 52:13
  Speaker 10: of what, 11 or 12 children? And if she can't
• 52:16
  Speaker 10: learn to work with others, especially with all those personalities
• 52:19
  Speaker 10: in that small log cabin or whatever type of house
• 52:22
  Speaker 10: you want to call it, then surely she can learn
• 52:25
  Speaker 10: how to work and coexist with people in Nashville, especially
• 52:28
  Speaker 10: the Shania Twains. Now, Taylor Swift, she's got one sibling.
• 52:32
  Speaker 10: It's a younger brother, so bless her heart. Anyway, I'm
• 52:36
  Speaker 10: not even excited about that. But I think it's good
• 52:39
  Speaker 10: that the SEC would allow the price to come down
• 52:42
  Speaker 10: for groups who would not otherwise be heard in election season.
• 52:46
  Speaker 10: And I do think that foreign-funded groups need to pay
• 52:50
  Speaker 10: the full rate.
• 52:51
  Speaker 19: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
• 52:54
  Speaker 19: feels like even a family road trip is taking a risk.
• 52:57
  Speaker 19: We don't want the feeling of being unprotected and vulnerable.
