modulation goodness of your favorite station that carries us and
0:54

1:53
We'll start doing drawings a little bit later on. First
1:55
shows aren't until middle of November, so we have a
1:58
little bit of time. And ask anyone who knew me
2:00
during high school, yeah, last minute is how I roll.
2:05
Speaker 2: So no, no, no, no, no, we would not do
2:08
that to you.
2:09
Speaker 6: I respect your time and your ability to make arrangements,
2:12
So why would I give you tickets on the day
2:14
before the show and then have you as I can't
2:17
get off from work or whatever it is you need
2:19
to arrange transportation whatever it may be, you can. We'll
2:24
give them plenty of time so you can make the
2:26
arrangements that you need to. As we gather this morning,
2:30
I was at vigil last night for Charlie Kirk and
2:37
it struck me and several of the folks, especially those
2:41
in the ministerial pursuits, made a point of saying this,
2:44
and I thought it was important for us to share here,
2:49
whether or not you think we're Sunrise sermon at or.
2:52
Speaker 2: Not, that these vigils are for us. The strength, you know,
3:01
anyone who.
3:06
Speaker 6: Believes all the stuff you know is generally the people
3:11
who never got to even listen to Charlie Kirk, even
3:15
if you didn't like him. And this is part and
3:16
parcel of the reason why you should read people you
3:20
disagree with. You should listen to people you disagree with,
3:23
because sometimes people will tell you things about them that
3:29
aren't true, and you need to be able to identify that.
3:37
It's one of the things we try to do here
3:39
on First Thing Today, brought to you by jcsgold dot com.
3:42
Will check in with James and see how Gold and
3:44
Silver are doing it a little bit. Democrats must recalibrate.
3:49
That's a message from Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, who is
3:54
on CNN Inside Politics Sunday. They, meaning the Democratic Party,
4:01
have forgotten one of the reasons why we lost in
4:03
twenty twenty four, who warned that they keep pushing further
4:08
and further left. He also said that Democrats have weaponized
4:12
the quote threat to democracy narrative against Trump and Republicans
4:17
while losing the argument. The actual democracy has proved elusive
4:23
for Democrats. Clearly we've lost the argument. We've really lost
4:28
our connection with American voters, Fetterman warned. Meanwhile, Utah Governor
4:35
Spencer Cox said Sunday, the killer alleged killer in Charlie
4:42
Kirk's assassination, is not cooperating with authorities. He has not
4:46
confessed he is not cooperating. However, all the people around
4:50
him are, the governor told ABC's this Week. He was
4:54
also asked about the alleged killers' conversations on the web
5:00
server discord. All we can confirm is those conversations were
5:04
definitely happening. They did not believe it was him, meaning
5:08
the other people on the discord server, until he immediately
5:12
admitted that it was him. The twenty two year old
5:16
that stands accused of murdering Turning Point USA founder Charlie
5:19
Kirk is now reported to be a romantic roommate of
5:25
a transgender man transitioning to.
5:28
Speaker 2: A woman in Utah.
5:30
Speaker 6: Officials say this individual is cooperating with investigators. A source
5:36
familiar with the investigation says there also the FBI is
5:40
investigating leftist groups in Utah to see if they had
5:44
any connection to the assailant.
5:47
Speaker 2: Turning point.
5:48
Speaker 6: USA has announced a memorial service for September twenty first
5:52
for Charlie Kirk at State Farms Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
5:58
In other news, Secretary of State Mark Rubios in Israel
6:01
today as they intensified their attacks against Northern Gaza the
6:06
IDEAF does flattening another high rise building and killing at
6:09
least twelve according to aid workers. Rubio said he is
6:13
looking forward to coming up with a way to end
6:16
the bloodshed. When the Vatican was asked if the Pope
6:20
is going to work as an intermediary between Russia and Ukraine,
6:25
he said, I'd make the distinction in terms of the
6:27
voice of the Holy See advocating for peace and the.
6:31
Speaker 2: Role as a mediator.
6:35
Speaker 6: Is your son ready for more than just the status quo?

At Fishburne Military School, they build confidence, structure, and self
6:43
respect one boy at a time in small classes with
6:46
strong role models.

Speaker 8: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes?
8:09
Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
8:14
oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
8:19
to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
8:23
By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood oxygen
8:29
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
8:33
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
8:37
precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
8:40
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
8:43
your hands and feet. Well. Our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide,
8:48
can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

Speaker 10: Every year more American adults die from vaccine preventable diseases
9:38
and from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
9:42
the one for new maccle disease can protect adults from
9:45
illnesses that can cause misdays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
9:50
New maccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
9:54
or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
9:57
of an infection that can spread from person to person.
10:00
Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
10:05
I'm doctor Susan Reem of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
10:09
When I speak with my patients, I urge them to
10:10
get all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to
10:14
speak with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.

10:21
adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough,

13:39
Speaker 6: Amanda that you got to cancel her.
13:44
Speaker 2: And they did something.
13:47
Speaker 6: They did over that song, that song, of all the
13:51
people in all of Christendom, they managed to find a
13:54
way to try to cancel Dolly Parton because she dared
13:58
to say, Oh, I don't know, hustle for yourself.
14:02
Speaker 2: Oh that's white supremacy. Dog whistling.
14:06
Speaker 6: If this doesn't indicate the mania of this agenda, I
14:11
don't know what does. But we just lay it all
14:14
out for you and let you make your own choice.
14:16
That's the difference. At four three four eight eight two
14:20
four two one seven. How is the news of the

day impacting you?

Good morning, James, how are you doing this morning?
14:39
Speaker 19: I'm joll Well, Joe and Golden's are holding strong so
14:44
far starting the week.
14:46
Speaker 2: Gold is just about three dollars.
14:48
Speaker 19: It's at three thousand, six hundred and forty five dollars
14:51
so far, just above even but still holding at high levels.
14:56
And Silver the same story. It's at forty two dollars
15:00
twenty five cents its of moments, so still holding near highs.
15:04
Speaker 6: That is, it's been a busy weekend, I'm sure of folks.
15:07
If you go online to JCS Gold, that's it's JC
15:14

15:15
Speaker 2: It's not.
15:16
Speaker 6: People try to spell it out and they say I
15:18
talk too fast, James.
15:19
Speaker 2: I don't know, but that's.
15:23
Speaker 6: That you go there, you can find all sorts of
15:25
different ways to invest in gold and silver. But the
15:28
most important part about the Jefferson Coin Shop is the
15:31
conversation you can have with a family member who's been
15:34
doing this for four generations. And James, you guys talk
15:38
to folks starting at ten a m. Eastern at four
15:41
three four nine seine coin and people I'm sure come
15:45
from all different positions economically looking to get some gold
15:51
and silver in their portfolio, don't they.
15:54
Speaker 19: That's exactly right, Joe, and we have a lot of
15:56
people that call us that they've never bogged old or
15:59
silver before. They're new to it, but they know that
16:02
they want to own some. They want to have a
16:05
hedge against uh, you know, inflation. They want to have
16:09
a hedge against a falling dollar in value and the.
16:13
Speaker 20: Money doesn't go as far as it used to.
16:15
Speaker 19: And they said, what do I do about that year?
16:16
About gold and silver?
16:18
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
16:18
Speaker 19: Anything about it. And we love having those conversations and
16:22
figuring out exactly what the right vulliding products are for them.
16:25
Speaker 6: Well, you keep doing it, jcsgold dot Com. James is
16:28
going to be busy today. I'm sure with gold and
16:31
silver and rarefied air. So get on it, dog on
16:35
it and we'll talk to you in the morning.
16:38
Speaker 2: That's great, thanks Joe.
16:39
Speaker 6: Jcsgold dot com is the website for them there four
16:45
three four eight eight two four two one seven. It's
16:48
a multitasker. Joel uses it for a test tests. Wow,
16:55
holy cow, I need another sip of my first free
16:59
in the morning coffee, he says, almost like that. Stumble
17:04
was a planned promotional moment. First free in the morning
17:08
coffee available at one two seven Roasters supporting both an
17:13
orphanage and a school in Uganda. With your support one
17:16
two seven Roasters. A ministry turned well, that spun into
17:22
a coffee roasttery. They're still doing ministry as well. Joel
17:25
asks at four three four eight eight two four two
17:28
one seven. Please ask doctor Clark's not on the line
17:34
anymore with us, but I'm sure he's out there. How
17:36
can you believe in God if you're a communist? I
17:40
presume Joel isn't asking me or doctor Clark. Because we
17:43
do believe in God and we don't believe in communism,
17:46
why not call it blind sheepism? See, Joel, here's the problem.
17:51
See that would be an honest depiction of what's going on.
17:54
And as I said from the onset, Marx's, whether it
18:01
be nationalists, socialism or global socialism.
18:05
Speaker 2: Requires deceit.
18:08
Speaker 6: You can't tell people that we're going to take your
18:11
grandmother to the gulag if you don't meet your factory quota.
18:20
We're not going to take you to a mental institution
18:23
for reprogramming if we catch you saying to somebody that
18:27
the Supreme Soviet was in some way wrong or in
18:33
some way perhaps not the best governing system. Ever, he
18:39
finishes up by saying, the Chinese and Russians are loving this,
18:43
and the Islamists don't forget radical Islam adopted Marxism, actually
18:51
adopted fascism because it was an easy fit. But the Nazis, yeah,
18:57
those same Nazis. These are the folks who stand for
18:59
palace and by the way, they want a two state solution.
19:03
The same folks, the same hypocrites, and America's governance and
19:07
America's commentariat that support the Islamist terrorists. Forget that during
19:16
World War Two, in support of Romel in the Desert,
19:23
the Nazis sat down with all the Islamic country leaders
19:29
and said we like the way you do things here.
19:33
It's not exactly how we do it in Germany, but
19:36
we want to support what you do because you know
19:38
this area better than we do. And these people want
19:42
your women to take their covers off, they want your
19:45
men to walk around and do it as they please,
19:49
shave their beards if they like these Americans, they want
19:56
to ruin your cultural purity and sang the swan song
20:01
of the Nationalist Socialist Party. So if you wonder guilt
20:05
by association, if you will, But the same folks who.
20:10
Speaker 2: Believe in.
20:13
Speaker 6: LGBTQ for hamas and that kind of stuff, are also
20:21
the ones who support nationalist socialism. Yeah, perhaps globalist socialism.
20:26
And that's the battle royale, But even within the Democratic
20:30
Party brand is that it's right now the battle for
20:35
the hearts and minds, the battle for who will be
20:40
the supreme Soviet, the battle over who is the one
20:49
that's going to do all the collecting and obviously keeping
20:54
their fair share of it and then doling out the
20:57
little bits left to the left.
21:01
Speaker 2: That's the battle right now.
21:02
Speaker 6: That is the battle because they're the ones who are
21:07
warring it out. They're using you and me as street urchins.
21:12
Speaker 2: In the battle and all through it.
21:19
Speaker 6: It's the Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, James Madison owned slaves.
21:25
All of this is to make you forget the things
21:29
that America did, which is create more freedom than ever
21:36
before anywhere on the planet. So when they come to
21:46
you and say, but people are poor, yeah, they were
21:50
poor when we started this Marxist march. How is that
21:53
working out for us so far? And that's what Charlie
21:56
Kirk was doing. And that's why Charlie Kirk had to
21:58
be ended because he was a Brandt.
22:03
Speaker 2: And her name is Shary I Love.
22:05
Speaker 21: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
22:07
for because of a surgery.
22:09
Speaker 2: She just went through.
22:10
Speaker 22: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
22:12
talk about all the time, which.
22:14
Speaker 2: Is meta share.
22:14
Speaker 1: That is right.
22:15
Speaker 21: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
22:18
and health care ability?
22:19
Speaker 22: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
22:22
you're already nervous about a health issue which I was,
22:25
members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
22:28
me tell you, having people pray with you when you
22:31
call in with your need that is just refreshing.
22:34
Speaker 7: Yes, that's what it is.
22:36
Speaker 21: I keep telling people people love meta share and they
22:39
loves saving money. The typical family can save five hundred
22:42
dollars a month.
22:43
Speaker 22: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
22:47
and I mean different in a very very good way.
22:49
Speaker 2: It is good different Call now.
22:51
Speaker 21: They're easy to talk to and you can get a
22:52
price within two minutes. Call eight five to five Share forty.
22:56
That's eight five five s h a r E forty
22:59

23:02
Speaker 4: Hi.
23:02
Speaker 23: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
23:07
Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
23:12
better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
23:16
up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
23:21
veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
23:26

28:12
Speaker 3: The first thing today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk
28:16
Media Network.
28:17
Speaker 6: I don't know if you've ever had this happen to you.
28:19
Were trying to trace down a ghost in the machine.
28:23
As we work our technology, there's a ghost mouse that appears,
28:28
a ghost mouse icon that appears and insists on trying
28:33
to fight me for control. We've tried to figure out
28:37
we've signed out of internet connections, so there's no it
28:41
doesn't appear to be exploits being done by anyone else.
28:45
But apologies, we've just completely restarted the entire studio during
28:50
the news at the bottom of the hour there. But
28:53
if you've ever run into this, it's just I've been
28:55
reading up on it. Apparently it's according to the tech
28:59
people I've talk to, it's like a driver update or
29:02
something like that, but just appears like.
29:04
Speaker 2: This then literally will take over the computer.
29:10
Speaker 6: And you know, and insists that whatever I want to do,
29:14
whether it be, and we've unplugged the mice, and we've
29:18
changed the mouse, changed the batteries, it still remains there
29:22
even if we're just working off the touch pad, and
29:26
it's just in one of those you know, shame on
29:28
you for relying on technology, mister Thomas, and you sit
29:33
there and say, gosh, this is where Opus the penguin
29:36
used to demand a dandelion prag there. But I don't
29:39
know if that's ever happened to you before, but it
29:42
is just maddening as all get out to have happen
29:46
to us.
29:46
Speaker 2: But that's okay. We're you know, we move forward.
29:49
Speaker 6: We're happy, happy warriors that we get to do what
29:52
we do with you. Our connection to you through Talk
29:55
Media Network has been working just fine. It remains unimpeded
29:59
by unless this mouse decides to all of a sudden
30:07
go and shut off our connection. Yeah, that's my biggest
30:11
concern is right now. What it does is it just
30:15
kind of lingers there and starts clicking things that you
30:18
don't want it to, and so our job is to
30:21
keep it away from other programs, keep taskbar from doing things.
30:26
And that's the worst part of this is that this
30:28
ghost mouse just hovers right over the taskbar.
30:32
Speaker 2: I'll stop it now. I hear, I hear the mac
30:35
cult saying.
30:36
Speaker 6: Well, if you had a mac Joe, stuff like this
30:39
wouldn't happen.
30:40
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, other stuff would happen there. Sea Fact, our.
30:45
Speaker 6: Friends at the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow have worked
30:51
very closely with Sea Fact and a Turning Point USA.
30:56
Speaker 2: Folks. They do a lot of youth movement at.
30:58
Speaker 6: Craig Rucker of Sea Fact, thank you for taking a
31:02
little time out and talking about your interactions and your
31:05
work with Charlie Kirk at Turning Point USA and the
31:09
importance of a youth movement.
31:10
Speaker 2: How are you doing, sir, Well.
31:12
Speaker 20: Always a pleasure beyond Joe and yeah, I was a
31:16
little more of a festive event. You and I were
31:19
out of New Orleans with the State Policy Network, but
31:21
boy crushed down the reality with this news. Yeah. Charlie
31:25
organization and Charlie himself was very supportive of what we do,
31:31
and we, of course were very supportive of what they do.
31:35
We have a collegiate's arm that works with young people
31:38
at Sea Fact, and our staff works very closely with
31:42
Turning Point. We often co sponsor events together are part
31:48
of their conferences. We've brought speakers there. We've also I
31:52
myself had a tour of their facility in Phoenix, Arizona
31:56
when I was there a little over a year ago
31:58
that their staff took me through. So, as I say,
32:01
we have been working with them for years. They're a
32:03
great organization. Charlie has been supportive. And this hit is
32:07
like a lead balloon, you know, I mean it was
32:09
really it was a punch to the gut. We could
32:12
not believe that the left has become this unhinged. That
32:17
and I guess we should have saw it coming. They
32:19
did it with Trump, you see it with death threats.
32:23
We get them not infrequently, we blow them off. But
32:26
I'll tell you this much, we're not going to blow
32:27
them off quite as much as we used to based
32:29
on what just happened.
32:31
Speaker 6: Craig, I want to ask you know, as a movement director,
32:36
as somebody who has built ground swell and grassroots, A
32:41
dear friend of mine, he's transitioning from politician to pundit.
32:48
He is leaving the elected office that he helds in
32:51
Virginia to take on full time sort of a commentariat
32:54
role with his own podcast. His name is Nick Fretis,
32:59
and he posted the day of the shooting he said, listen,
33:04
don't be kidded by anyone who tells you why Charlie
33:09
Kirk had to be shot.
33:10
Speaker 2: It was because he was effective, and.
33:14
Speaker 6: You've turned his facility, you've worked with him, you've been
33:16
effective as well. It appears yet again, although it's what's
33:23
interesting to me is is the shootings in Minneapolis, also
33:27
conducted by left wing activists who were upset that things
33:33
hadn't gone fast enough for them. These are almost tantrum
33:39
like from where I sit, from people who can't bear
33:44
to hear a differing viewpoint, never mind consider it, even
33:49
though that was exactly what Charlie was doing. And something
33:52
that I know that you do frequently with c fact
33:55
is just lay out what's there, layout what's there, and
33:58
then see it and then discus. I'm not going to
34:01
tell you what to believe. I'm just going to tell
34:02
you what the facts are and you can make up
34:05
your own mind. But it just doesn't seem like that's
34:08
sitting well with folks.
34:11
Speaker 20: No, And it's a shame because I remember in America
34:13
that was that way where you could have a civil discourse.
34:17
You know, famously Tip O'Neil and Ronald Reagan.
34:20
Speaker 2: Oh sure, I'll go after.
34:22
Speaker 20: Together during the day and have him have cocktails at
34:25
night together. So that's the America that you know, I
34:29
think needs to be returned. You know. Interesting, on the
34:32
same day that Charlie Kirk got shot doing the campus event,
34:35
I know, we at c fact, we're doing a similar
34:37
one in Rice University in Houston. We had a number
34:41
of our students protesting Michael Mann are doing a demonstration.
34:44
Now Michael Mann is a now climate up the renown climate,
34:48
a farmist and uh he's the student. Yes, well, he
34:54
was speaking at Rice University. But we politely went out
34:57
demanded the debate. We say, just asking them questions, you know,
35:02
as to why he wants to censor the science. Will
35:05
he come out and debate. This is the type of
35:07
thing that we think is within civil discourse. Our students
35:11
were respectful, they were doing chance, but doing it orderly
35:15
in the sense that you know, in the proper place
35:18
you've got you know, permission, and the police allowed them
35:21
to do that. And then just a few hours later
35:24
the opposite happens, you know, in Utah. I think this
35:29
is something you're seeing the left do more and more.
35:31
It started with kind of silencing their opponents on social media,
35:36
and the censorship of going against anything they have to
35:39
say is like screened out. You saw it also with
35:43
the then going after the political leaders and trying to
35:47
arrest them, and it's done internationally. You've got Bulls and
35:50
Arrow now they want to put in jail. You've got
35:52
Star Cozy in France that they wanted to put in jail.
35:55
You have Trump they tried to put in jail. And
35:58
so this is a natural aggression of dehumanizing your opposition.
36:03
And now we see assassination attempts. We saw that during
36:08
that George floydge when anybody wore a Mega had in Chicago,
36:12
they were taking their life in their hands, as some
36:14
people were just pulling out guns and shooting them. So
36:16
the attempt on President Trump's life we saw the same
36:20
thing now with Charlie Kirk. The progression on the radical
36:25
left is to dehumanize and now even assassination is not
36:30
beyond the pail for some of them.
36:32
Speaker 6: Well, because I just truly believe that at some point,
36:35
and this goes back to my point about what Nick
36:36
said about his effectiveness is you know, you consider what
36:42
was it Bejminov said about you know, decades, you know,
36:45
three generations, even in nineteen eighty four, had been working
36:49
on the indoctrination of the American school and this school student,
36:59
and that through that, you almost you can almost understand
37:08
that if they've spent that much time in treasure in
37:10
doctrinating these twenty year olds, only to have Charlie Kirk
37:19
come along and in a few minutes in a socratic discussion.
37:25
Speaker 2: Undo decades worth of programming, I get.
37:29
Speaker 6: I almost can understand if I had put that much
37:33
effort into convincing people to say, listen to my radio show,
37:37
and somebody came along and in five seconds was able
37:41
to make him say Joe who it would it would
37:44
bother me pretty substantially there. So Craig I appreciated Craig
37:50
Rucker Committee for a constructive tomorrow. Running up on a
37:56
break here, hang on the line.
37:57
Speaker 2: We'll get to you at four three four eight eight
37:59
two four two seven next.
38:02
Speaker 21: Life can change so abruptly.
38:05
Speaker 2: Just ask Paul.
38:06
Speaker 21: He's a hard working entrepreneur, he's young, he's got a
38:09
young family. Suddenly, though, he develops a rare medical condition
38:12
where he lost the use of both of his arms.
38:15
Speaker 18: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer, type,
38:18
couldn't use a mouse, I could not hold my son,
38:19
who was about a month old.
38:21
Speaker 21: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
38:24
but they're so thankful that they're members of meta Share.
38:28
Speaker 18: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does medicare
38:30
really were I'm living proof that it works. My four
38:34
children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
38:37
have been healed, are living proof that Menashare works. Just
38:40
knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
38:43
are going to be taken care of when we have
38:45
some type of medical problem, that is such a huge
38:47
blessing to us.
38:48
Speaker 21: It could be a huge blessing to you to people
38:51
save so much and love being part of meta share.
38:53
Call now eight five five share forty. That's eight five
38:57
five share four zero eight five five share forty.
39:05
Speaker 8: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
39:08
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
39:14
am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
39:19
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
39:23
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
39:27
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
39:33
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
39:38
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
39:43
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
39:47
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
39:52
healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

41:02
Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
41:04
with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
41:07
and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
41:09
at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
41:12
Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
41:15
or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
41:18
secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
41:21
jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
41:24
in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
41:26
by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
41:30
wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
41:33
they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
41:36
us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
41:38
whom suffer from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
41:42
when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
41:45
have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to
41:47
society and help those in need, so please join me

42:14
Speaker 14: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed.

Speaker 15: Did you know that more than half our household energy
42:32
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
42:36
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
42:40
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
42:43
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
42:47
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
42:50
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
42:54
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
42:57
improve your insulation. Another time cut energy costs is when
43:01
you shop for a new appliance, look for the energy
43:04
Star logo and read the energy Guide label, and there
43:07
are day to day things you can do. Lower your
43:10
thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer, close

Speaker 2: This works.
45:03
Speaker 1: Well, that's because it's the Russian connection.
45:05
Speaker 6: Oh okay, So this isn't a Russian bot farm doing
45:09
this to me?
45:11
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no. So my question is I would
45:15
love to be this guy's attorney, defense attorney, not for
45:20
the fact to get them off, but to use his
45:24
defense for psychiatric reasons, saying, well, because of what Chuck
45:30
Schumer said that we should get in gorsts his face,
45:32
we need to get into the Gorsies his face for
45:35
what next, Team Waters said, get in their face, don't
45:38
let them live. For what AOC said, Well, what Jasmine
45:41
Crackett said, they indactrinated me into life. That I should
45:46
fear these people and they need to get rid of
45:49
them to protect our country. So I was doing it
45:52
based on what they said to defend our country. How
45:55
would the Justice Department handle it? Because if I was
45:58
his defense attorney, I would subpoena all those guys, including
46:02
Nancy Pelosi, and get them under oh, and start asking questions.
46:08
Speaker 25: You know.
46:08
Speaker 2: It's a great point.
46:10
Speaker 6: And obviously you and I don't cot into the idea
46:13
of the devil made me do it, because we believe
46:17
in personal responsibility. But this is gosh ever since twenty sixteen,
46:23
and you know, and to be fair, I can't even
46:25
blame Donald Trump's election on this, bob, because it goes
46:30
back even further. Remember, he's not my president. In two
46:33
thousand when George Bush won, Oh, he's not my president,
46:38
you know, and all of that, you know, went along
46:42
and if you questioned a Barack Obama policy, you were
46:45
a racist because you must.
46:47
Speaker 2: Only be doing it because he's a black man.
46:52
Speaker 1: But this is their psychology, this is their psyche. They
46:57
are no different than what Joseph Dollan did to the Russians.
47:03
And anyone that says that wrong doesn't understand history and
47:08
that's what's going on now that the Democratic Party be
47:10
left under George Sorels, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Jesse Jackson
47:17
have implemented so much hate towards other people that you
47:21
need to kill them and get rid of them. And
47:24
that's what's finally coming forward to tuition. That's what's happening now.
47:29
They've said it so much, there's enough people out there
47:32
that are acting at it.
47:35
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's the dangerous thing, you know. And I
47:37
harkened back to this last week. We were talking to
47:40
Michael Harrison from Talkers magazine about Charlie Kirk and radio
47:46
and how really, you know, they coincided when he took
47:49
Turning Point USA.
47:51
Speaker 2: And put it on the radio every day.
47:53
Speaker 6: And I was one of the early adopters as a programmer,
47:57
you know, you know, even when his own network couldn't
47:59
have came less if you put his show on the air.
48:03
And and was he the greatest broadcaster, I don't think so.
48:06
I mean, he had his he was more interested in
48:12
talking to people than making pronouncements and those kind of things.
48:17
And he was very good at talking with people. And
48:19
you could tell that this was going to be his superpower,
48:24
his ability to sit down and talk with somebody and
48:28
talk them off this ledge. And it started kind of
48:31
just he would go to universities and hold these town
48:34
halls and people would get up and say, but what
48:37
about gay rights or whatever, or you know, whatever it
48:41
might wind up being, and he would debate it and
48:45
always seem to come out ahead. And this is sort
48:47
of the seed of this tour he was on making
48:51
this formatic point. And that's I think the mania that
48:55
these folks on the left go through is that their
48:58
ideas don't they don't hold up under the simplest of scrutinies,
49:04
and decades worth of indoctrination come falling apart simply with
49:08
a little socratic discussion.
49:13
Speaker 1: Yes, And that's what scares me is that this just
49:18
isn't the start of things to come. This is something
49:22
that's gonna advance and gets is the best way to
49:25
put it, and get worse and worse because they, and
49:30
what his wife said, they've unleashed because now what's gonna happen,
49:36
Who's going to be next, Who's going to do what next?
49:39
They've left it to nature, And the problem is right
49:44
now people are set up with what's going on, you know,
49:50
in general, so how they're can affect the United States.
49:54
And you talk about like what you know about Russia
49:57
and everything else. Russia's what happened as an attack on Christianity.
50:03
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, And and this is what they they'll they'll do
50:07
whatever they can to.
50:10
Speaker 2: Obscure what's really going on.
50:12
Speaker 6: And this is this is actually part and parcel of
50:14
why communism always winds up in bloodshed because eventually people
50:19
catch on to what's going on, and then they then
50:23
they get salty about it, and then the troops have
50:25
to come in.
50:28
Speaker 1: Yes, and in this person was assassinated just because he.
50:32
Speaker 2: Loves God well and and other.
50:36
Speaker 1: Enforce his ideals on anyone like what the left and
50:40
the LGBTQ communities to it. He loved God and he
50:44
just preached what he felt. He didn't say you had
50:47
to be like me, He just gave it as an alternative.
50:52
Speaker 6: No, absolutely, And that's uh that you well, And and
50:56
also one of the things that we have to member
51:00
is that, uh, is that what you know, the hypocrisy
51:07
of the folks who are complaining about losing their jobs
51:14
because of their you know, celebrations of the assassination of
51:19
a human being are the same ones who.
51:21
Speaker 2: Wanted people like you or me, if we wore an.
51:24
Speaker 6: Eagle or an American flag on our T shirt to
51:27
be fired because we were engaging in hate speech or racism.
51:34
Speaker 1: And think about this, the federal employees that are complaining
51:38
about getting fired for what they're saying and speaking out
51:41
against their boss. Hey, I worked for major companies such
51:45
as Walmart. If I spoke out like these people are
51:48
smoking up, fired right on the spots, right, and no
51:55
one in the Superior card would not say that they'd
51:57
have to give me my job back. So why is
52:00
the Superior court or federal district court intervening on their behalf?
52:05
They spoke out against their employer, which is aroundable treason
52:12
against your employer.
52:14
Speaker 6: Right right, and at very least, at very least, it
52:17
brings disrepute onto your employer and therefore makes it harder
52:20
for your employer to perhaps you know, uh, you know,
52:25
profit and to do the business.
52:27
Speaker 2: Bob, good stuff, my friend.
52:30
Speaker 20: They have a great day.
52:31
Speaker 1: It's beautiful here today in Moscow.
52:34
Speaker 2: Thank you, sir.

Will continue behind the scenes trying to repair what's going
52:44
on in the Studio is the first Thing Today by
52:46
Joe Thomas.
52:47
Speaker 2: You know, so far, so good. I guess.
52:52
Speaker 24: A few years ago my youngest son had something minor
52:55
turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
52:58
Speaker 2: It was metashere that came through and there was no hassles,
53:01
