Buyant a more Megan now make America great again than
I've ever been.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte's.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
What it's Ted Stey Already, My goodness, where's this week going?
It's like trying to fill a Dixie hump cup with
a fire hose.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
Q Congress.

Speaker 5 (00:47):
Thomas, listen to the.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Shop, will you Daniels.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
I know, with plenty of heavy stuff to get into
this morning, including the redistricting battles in California and Virginia
and Illinois, and the President in South Korea signing deals
and getting people on board, but I want to begin
with William Daniels. Of course, the actor you pick Saint

(01:26):
Elsewhere Saved By Saved by the Bell was the one
I never watched that one, and of course his portrayal
of John Adams in the musical depiction of the Founding
of This Nation. And I like to tell folks I've
never met Thomas Jefferson, but I met the guy who

(01:49):
played him in seventeen seventy six, so I count something
in there as I live here in the shadow of Monticello. Well,
William Daniels decided to what remains of his celebrity, and
at ninety eight, God bless him. It's like my mother
in law still going at ninety eight. Although I wouldn't
publish anything my mother in law says to me in confidence.

(02:12):
William Daniels posted to Twitter yesterday saying that we performed
seventeen seventy six in the beautiful East Room where Nixon
was in the White House. He was gracious even though

(02:34):
none of us had voted for him, and then he
added the caption, the current president has ripped a piece
of history from our lives, and we mustn't take this
lightly because he doesn't elaborate what that piece of history is.
But I presume he's speaking of the Declaration of Independence,

(02:55):
and I'm not sure what. Like I said, my mother
in law's ninety eight, and I wouldn't publish anything she
put on Twitter, either, but just thought i'd share that.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
As we open this morning to what your.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Appetite for today's program four three four eight eight two
four two one seven. Our first things is I have
to tell you what went on before we can discuss
any of it. More than half the likely voters UH
in California are planning to support the redistricting ballot measure
PROP fifty survey by the Public Policy Institute of California

(03:31):
conducted by IPSOS, said fifty six percent of likely voters
plan to vote for the measure, and of that fifty
six And this is where statistics become silly, just so
they could say ninety five percent disapprove of how Trump
is handling his job. That's ninety five percent of the
fifty six percent that are going to vote for the

(03:54):
redistricting measure. But they get to say it because it's statistics.
US President and Trump met with South Korean President Lee
je mung in the city of Jungju, the final stop
on his Asia tour aimed at securing new investment deals.
He said in the speech just hours ago, the Republic
of Korea is a cherished American friend and a close ally,

(04:17):
and as we can see in this beautiful city, it's
truly one of the most remarkable nations anywhere on Earth.
German activist Naomi Seat, dubbed as the anti Greta by Europeans,
has filed for asylum in the United States, claiming she's
being politically persecuted in Germany for her political views. In

(04:39):
her petition submitted an under section two eight of the
Immigration and Nationality states that returning to Germany would expose
her to imprisonment and physical harm. The Senate GOP majority
rebuked President Trump's economic agenda as a applies to Brazilian tariffs,

(05:02):
voting against in a ceremonial vote fifty two to forty
eight against a fifty percent tariff on Brazilian imports. The
House said Speaker Johnson said, they're not going to take
up the bill. Of the five Republicans, only one's a
noted free market here, and that would be Ran Paul
of Kentucky. Mitch McConnell, who is married to Chinese shipping company,

(05:26):
Tom Tillis of North Carolina. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski
were also the Republicans that voted for the bill that
was proposed by my Senator in Virginia, Tim Kaine Zorhan Mamdanni,
Democrat nominee for New York City Mayor, is facing two
criminal referrals on illegal contributions to his campaign. According to

(05:51):
a report in The New York Post, Mam Donnie's campaign
brought in nearly thirteen thousand dollars from one hundred and
seventy donors with addresses outside the United States, and that's
a no no. Federal judge in San Francisco Tuesday indefinitely
barred the Trump administration from firing federal employees during the
government shutdown, saying that labor unions were likely to prevail

(06:15):
in their claims against the president. The Clintonee appointee, Judge
Susan Ilston, said she believes the court filing will show
the firings were illegal and an excess of authority.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
And those are our first things this.

Speaker 6 (06:32):
Winter experience the ultimate Rock Christmas tradition, Trans Siberian Orchestra
live in concert, posting The Ghost of Christmas Eve, the
best of TSO and more and more inspiring blend of rock.

Speaker 8 (07:01):
For veterans concerned about their alcohol or drug use, seeking
help can be the first step toward recovery. Doctor Joseph Liberto,
national Mental Health Director for Substance Use Disorders with the
US Department of Veterans Affairs has more.

Speaker 9 (07:16):
May is Mental Health Month and VA is committed to
letting every veteran know that help is available. Substance use
disorder can harm your physical and mental health, but it
can be treated. There are thousands of veterans in recovery.

Speaker 8 (07:30):
VAS Today i Am campaign highlights real stories from veterans
describing how treatment, support and resources help them improve their
mental health and their lives.

Speaker 9 (07:41):

Speaker 10 (08:03):
Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi'm
doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized
curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program.

(08:24):
It makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation
is a key component to our overall health. The Mayo
Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation has
antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent cancer
or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in

(08:46):
many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where we
help you to look good, feel good, and enjoy total wellness.

Speaker 11 (09:02):
I'm Andrew Saul, Commission of Self Security. I'm here to
warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
are not from US. Real solid security employees will never

(09:25):
threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
call like this, hang up. Never give the call of
your personal information like your Social Security number or bank account,
or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law

(09:46):
enforcement on the Office of the Inspector General at OIG
dot SSA dot gov. Share this information with your friends
and family.

Speaker 12 (09:58):
Hi, everybody, I'm Jack Hannah and it's always a boy
growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
with animals.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
I'm not only in all of their.

Speaker 12 (10:05):
Beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just
look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are

(10:28):
wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
when there's a change.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
In their blood chemistry.

Speaker 12 (10:43):
Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
contribute to society and help those in need. So please
join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
inhabit together. Go to American Humane dot org to learn more.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
Bruh that's buzzed.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.

Speaker 13 (11:05):
And now a speech.

Speaker 14 (11:06):
I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
art and brain.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
Who's with me?

Speaker 14 (11:13):
Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
brain is saying when it's time to go home.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Somebody call me a ride.

Speaker 5 (11:19):
Love that guy, me too.

Speaker 8 (11:21):
Know your buzzed warning signs, Call for a ride when
it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

Speaker 15 (11:28):
Did you know that more than half our household energy
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.

(11:49):
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs when
you shop for a new appliance, look for the energy
Star logo and read the energy guide label. And there
are day to day things you can do. Lower your
thermostat and winter and raise it in the summer, close

(12:12):
fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep air
filters clean. For more tips on saving money by reducing
your energy waste, check out FTC dot gov slash green,
a tip from the Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer
protection agency.

Speaker 16 (12:29):
As a family member or friend, you may be the
first to notice when a veteran you love has been
going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
at makethconnection dot net and learn how you can support

(12:52):
the veterans.

Speaker 16 (12:54):
Treatment works, recovery is possible.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
With the Sounds hundred to do list. Putting the radio
on is the first thing today.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
And Ted Steve Morning, where we celebrate the gifts that
God has given to you in the regal and enthusiastic
application of those gifts to a grateful constituency who rewards
you justly.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
And you can't go wrong doing that.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
And people misunderstandify it's not about playing guitar. It's about
whatever it is God has gifted you to do, and
that's one of the problems in American society. We're always
looking at the grass in our neighbor's yard. We always
wish as one of the seven vices. Gotta be careful

(13:56):
of that emails. This one just came in. You met
Ken Howard? How did that happen? No, Ken Howard was
considered that big of a deal, to be fair.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
You know, it was.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Back when he was doing that TV show The White Shadow.
He had to come home, I think was was it?
Lloyd Bridges played his dad. Somebody another famous actor played
his father, but his home was in Queens, New York,
and they used to They used my high school baside
high school is the exterior shots of his high school.
And they filmed some of the exterior shots of his

(14:34):
dad's house about two blocks from where I grew up there.
So we all went over and they were doing, you know,
kind of doing makeup and everything. He was very nice,
very nice. So, like I said, never met Thomas Jefferson,
but I've met Ken Howard, so I guess that close now.
William Daniels never met William Daniels, and at ninety eight
sounds a little curmudgeonally, I'd like to ask William Daniels

(14:56):
if he has all his marbles, and like I said,
my mother other than law could post to Twitter as well.
At ninety eight, I wouldn't necessarily take any of it
to the bank. But what parts of the Declaration of
Independence which you seem to be alluding to, since you
did seventeen seventy six and it is conveniently coming up
on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the actual declaration,

(15:19):
what parts of that has he rent asunder from you?
Just curious about that. Bob's on the phone from Moscow.
I'm curious, Bob, do you think they're going to celebrate
the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of
America in Moscow at all?

Speaker 15 (15:35):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Probably will, because there's a huge number of Russian and
American expats, you know, so it's part of culture. You know,
they solved in all the Muscleim holidays because it's a
part of the culture. So one thing I'm answering your
first question, what about seventeen seventy six. He's referring to

(15:58):
how the Democratic hardy right now is causing an insurrection
by shutting down the United States of America and not
allowing it to reopen. That's what he's referring to.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
Oh, but he says this president, so he's he's if
that's what he's referring to, he's blaming Donald Trump for that.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
No, No, he's saying this president, Donald Trump is just
like George Washington. He was defending America from the evil people,
the Democratic Party, who is shut down America, trying to
cause an insurrection to keep it their monarchy, the monarchy

(16:41):
of the Democratic Party.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
There are a lot of people in seventeen seventy six,
you know, one of the points of Patrick Henry's give
me Liberty or give me Death speech is he was
trying to convince the Virginia General Assembly to sign off
on revolution. And because it was it was very it
was like and even at best. I've seen some analysis

(17:05):
that say that the vox popular of the American colonials
was about thirty three thirty three thirty three or maybe
forty forty twenty, with that twenty percent in the middle
really trying to you know, going to be the ones
that would decide, you know, which side they were on,
and the more things like stamp acts and stuff like that.
George King, George pushed that twenty percent into the side

(17:29):
of revolt.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Right, But what I was actually talking about when you
said about Mandani and him getting donations from outside the
United States, Huh, Well, what about what about all these
other donors to the parties that are donating money to
charitable to different companies, different folds that are outside the

(17:54):
money outside the United States, like George Sorels and all
these people. Isn't that the thing that.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
Well, and it's one.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Of the they're circumventing the law.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Right, it's well, or you use my phrase money laundering,
because what they do, and this is where groups like
Act Blue, which was the fundraising folks behind Barack Obama's
two thousand and eight campaign. Act Blue takes money from wherever.
It's just a website. It's like giving money to PayPal

(18:26):
or I can not PayPal, but go go fund myself
and stuff like that, and you give them the money
and then they give the money to these campaigns. Look
at the the Prop fifty campaign money. For all this
money that Prop fifties campaign has in California, most of

(18:47):
it came through Act Blue as contributions, So we don't
know where those came from.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Well, that's my question, can the Justice Department do an
investigation of the conglomerate, these non charity, these charities, whatever
the case, and if they're receiving money from overseas, then
they cannot donate to any political campaign because they're basically

(19:16):
taking foreign donations to determine an election.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
That would be a great thing for them to look
into it. It should be something they're looking into because
these money laundering groups, you take this money from lord
knows where and then they make the contribution and that's
the part that this is how it skirts election law.
Now you have to be careful. This is like nuclear

(19:40):
waste because you know, we have the Supreme Court ruling
in I just had them and you said something, and
it's scampered away. The ruling on money in the campaign's
corporate money, citizens United. That's that's the one. It snuck

(20:04):
out back from behind the door where it was hiding.
But you have the Citizens United ruling that says money
is tata amount to speech. And this is where you
know you have to be very careful, and first you
have to have a buttoned up investigation into these groups
and say, okay, you cannot accept money from overseas if

(20:26):
that money is going, but it becomes one of those
how do you how do you firewall this? And you
have to make it so they have to open their
books to election transparency groups and the Department of Justice constantly,
because otherwise you'll never know.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
You know, Oh, hold it, they're not looking. This is
just a you.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
Know, like George Soros did with the prosecutors. Oh this
is a small race. Nobody's paying attention to it. We
can buy all these prosecutors and create social justice warriors.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
Out of them.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yep. And the judges that are making these rules against
the National Guard and troops coming in basically are cutting
their own throats because say something draftic like a George
Floyd incident happens again during the Trump administration. Donald Trump
could just come up and say, well, I can't send

(21:23):
troops in to help you anymore in California or Portland
because the judge says I'm not allowed to do that.
So until the Supreme you go through the process and
get the Supreme Court to say it's okay for me
to do it, you guys are just going to have
to suffer.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Yeah, good stuff, Bob, I appreciate it. My friend, he's
going coming up. Eric Trump is going to visit with us.

Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes?
Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen

(22:27):
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide

With out First thing today on the Talk Media Network
by Joe Thomas.

Speaker 21 (28:21):
Certain Time Mountain, need to bring the table, do the
visit I can do.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
I mean ted sty to you as we wrap October.

Speaker 15 (28:44):
The speed.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
You still dress up for Halloween as an arbiter of
pop culture here in the center square of it all.
I feel like there's less and less. I mean, there's
more and more trunk and treats, churches and community groups
doing trunk or treats, and those sort of centralized things
kind of borne out of the shopping center trick or

(29:11):
treating and the shopping mall stuff. But there's there are
a growing number of neighborhoods that say, don't trick or
treat here. I mean, especially if you live in a
homeowners association. I mean, if you're still in a place
where kids go door to door with friends and mom
and dad curious about it, let us know. I mean,

(29:34):
not that I'm going to be coming there in my
Arthur Dent costume, but you never know, Doctor Clark on
the line with us. So much to get into this morning.
We haven't barely scratched the surface, but I've apparently torked
a bunch of folks with my commentary on William Daniels.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
Of all things, I mean, we.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
Play we spend a lot of time talking about John
Adams on this program. Rarely do we talk about the
guy who played John Adams, or at least the one
in the first musical about the founding of our nation.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
Good morning, Clark. What's going on with you, sir?

Speaker 22 (30:05):
Well, let's see, I don't know. Yes, I dressed for Halloween,
but then again, I dress for every day. I don't
have any specific and aked days.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
So all right, all right, I got it, I got it.
All right, choose your words more carefully, Joe. Okay, there
you go.

Speaker 22 (30:24):
Hey, I'll give you a quick one on that. Talking
to when I was in the Marine Corps, guy that
had been on the drill field. Yeah, and he said,
you have to be very careful about what's tell people.
They had a commander's inspection coming up, and in the
Marine Corps there will be no hair on your face

(30:46):
in the terms of whistards, hair out of your ears,
et cetera, et cetera. So he's explaining this to the
recruits and he said, look, if it's hair and it's
on your face, shave it off.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
All right.

Speaker 22 (30:59):
He's going down the line.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
I'm looking at the recruits.

Speaker 22 (31:01):
He steps in front of one of them.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
This guy has no eyebrows. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
I was gonna say, it sounds like somebody's gonna share,
gonna go the whole Uh was it?

Speaker 4 (31:12):
Marilyn Manson looked.

Speaker 22 (31:15):
Yeah, so you know, just insert gunnery Sergeant Hartman from
Full Metal Jacket language.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
Have you done, sir?

Speaker 22 (31:25):
The drilling Sturtner said, of it was hair on the
private's face. To save it off, Sir, I said, well.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
What do you do? Gunny?

Speaker 1 (31:33):
He said, Garrett? What could I do?

Speaker 22 (31:35):
I told him to do it. You just gotta be
very careful about what you tell people to do. So anyway, Hey,
have you seen AOC at the Montdamie Rally.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
I've seen some clips of it. Yeah, they shows up
in my feet.

Speaker 22 (31:53):
I am not familiar enough, but when she starts bouncing around,
I swear, Joe, I'm either channel In Grover or Elmo
from Sesame Street. Now I'm not sure which one it is.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Given her age, Given her age, I'm going to say Elmo.
If she was our age, I'd say it's Grover. It's
one of the other.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
Now, and are they related?

Speaker 3 (32:21):
Now there's a DNA test I'd like to see is
Grover genetically related to Is Grover like his dad?

Speaker 4 (32:28):
His uncle?

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Mom?

Speaker 4 (32:30):
I guess we know.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
We never really found out if Grover was male or female,
and given the way the Corporation for Public Public Broadcasting
as he could have been both at the same time, Hey,
did you see this speaking of the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting NPR is now apparently a threatening to sue the
Corporation for Public Broadcasting for quote caving into or to

(32:55):
the Trump administration.

Speaker 19 (32:58):
Huh.

Speaker 22 (33:00):
Now the other thing, just very briefly, this autopen referral.

Speaker 19 (33:07):
Have you looked at that.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
Autopen referral? I mean, I know the investigation.

Speaker 22 (33:17):
They want everything that he did looked into, and they
want the doctor checked out. So if they keep checking
things out, we're liable to find out that there was
massive fraud the night the toilet overflowed in Georgia.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
No, we'd never find that out.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
We'll investigate it, you know, and will campaign and we'll
fundraise on investigating it, but we won't actually find anything.
And if we do, we'll we'll redact it saying you know,
the the you know, come up with some legal ease
reason to not say it that for the sanctity of

(33:53):
the Coalition for the Betterment of America, you know, in
the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our country. Uh,
we're not, you know, we're sealing this indictment because it'll
cause mass disruption and we can't have that security. Yeah,
national security exactly, protect our phony beloity jobs.

Speaker 22 (34:16):
The last thing, there's an American Thinker article that was
put up yesterday evening, and you know Smallwell has come
out and said that don't even think about running in
twenty twenty eight if you won't make the announcement that
she'll take a wrecking ball to what the new East

(34:38):
wing or ballroom or whatever.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
Yeah, I saw something about that. So so they're gonna
We're gonna spend millions of dollars building a ballroom on
the east side of the White House and the next
president is just going to tear it down.

Speaker 11 (34:54):
Well, now, wait a.

Speaker 22 (34:54):
Minute, that's not the statement, though, Joe, this is going
to be the statement. Maga make America Great Again? Is
not a slogan for Donald Trump policy. It's it's you know,
everything he's doing is designed to improve things for who

(35:18):
the American people. Right now, what the Democrats want to
do as soon as they get in the power is
take a wrecking ball to everything that's been done to
improve the lives of American people.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
Oh so it's a metaphor, yes, I see, like kind
of like playing Lyndon Johnson talking to his tailor about
loose fitting pants is a metaphor for needing a new,
shiny ballroom on the east wing of the White House.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
I guess.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
It's wordplay. Gotta gotta play with our words. If not,
especially if you're not having a naked day.

Speaker 22 (36:03):
No, no naked days, Joe, get you in trouble.

Speaker 4 (36:07):
Oh good stuff.

Speaker 22 (36:08):
I'll tell you what. You go out and trick or
treat without dressing for Halloween and see how that goes
for you.

Speaker 4 (36:15):
Oh no, I have a very so.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
My costume is Arthur Dent from the book series The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, famously rescued from the destruction
of Earth wearing nothing but his pajamas and a bathrobe
and carrying a book that says, don't panic on it.
So you wander around enough neighborhoods with small children wearing

(36:38):
nothing but a bathrobe and pajama pants and carrying a
book that says, don't panic on it, there will be
law enforcement called in to just ask you a few questions.
I guarantee it.

Speaker 22 (36:52):
You say Arthur Dent, and I channel Harvey Dent two
faces from Batman.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
We all have our literary.

Speaker 22 (37:01):
My John Anderson had a hit called Swinging.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
So there you go.

Speaker 18 (38:01):
At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
problems in their solutions.

Speaker 7 (38:06):
For example, diesel fuel setane levels.

Speaker 18 (38:08):

forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
Treatment of hot Shot Secret diesel extreme will raise your
seatane seven points, increase fuel economy and improve cold starts.
Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in
particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of

(38:30):
your diesel particulate filter. Using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three
percent less DPF regenerations. The six and one Diesel Extreme
formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on the market,
lubricity enhancer, water demulsifier, rust and corrosion inhibitors, and a

You were strolling along in Goodwill when just past that
mid century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them
nestled in their display case, miniature donut earrings. Oh yes, yes,
your favorite half breakfast pastry, half all day dessert food
made into your favorite form of ear candy. Oh my,

good to your community. Goodwill bring good home.

Speaker 13 (40:57):
Exercise is hard, so is mad to a healthy diet.
Of course, neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly,
type two diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a
million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths
are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,

(41:18):
healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about
your risk for type two diabetes and heart disease, and
if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The
reason so many die is because not enough are willing
to change. You can stop it, starting right now. It's
your life. Listen to your doctor, eat better, get moving,

Speaker 19 (43:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (43:30):
I'm pretty sober.

Speaker 10 (43:32):
Yeah, I'm probably okay.

Speaker 20 (43:35):
Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking

Speaker 2 (44:11):
The first thing today by Joe Thomas on the Trunk
Media Network, all natural and free of artificial intelligence.

Speaker 4 (44:29):
Thank you joining us this morning.

Speaker 3 (44:30):
And the King of the Apples in Central Virginia. He's
also the son of the president. No laptops, however, he
is Eric at Trump and he's joining us this morning.
Thank you very much, Eric for joining us, inviting us
out to the sidery to take a look around. Yeah,

(44:51):
people don't know that part of the Trump but king
of the apples here in Virginia.

Speaker 24 (44:57):
It's good to have you back. I never thought i'd
be King of the apple. We planted about sixteen thousand
apple trees that Trump Winery, Trump Sidery, so I guess
that makes us king of the apple.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
Now that'll do it for you. How has the sidery
division and if you don't know. The Trump family purchased
this winery with ten years ago, yeah, a little bit
over at closer to fifteen years ago. And it's become
the largest winery on the East coast the United States.
And we started a cider two years ago when we planted,
as I said, close to sixteen thousand apple trees. People
love the winery, people love the cider. Were distributed in

(45:28):
forty two states, I think seven or eight countries around
the world. Again, the largest winery east the Mississippi River.
And we've won every award. We won San Francisco last year.
I mean, we've absolutely done great. But people love the wine,
people love the cider, and people just love the property. Well,
and I've told you this before when you were in Charlottesville,
aside from trying to get the tour of my studios
first free coffee bar, but the Trump Winery, the tasting room,

(45:51):
the sidery, it is absolutely stunning. It's all the best
abuse of Virginia as well. And I'm not saying that
just because Eric's taller than I am and I'm intimidated.
So you know you're here, it's the first year of
the apples and and you've been having folks in the
community come up and do apple picking here as well.
How is that going?

Speaker 24 (46:11):
So what's more all American than apple picking?

Speaker 11 (46:14):
Right?

Speaker 24 (46:14):
And we have one of the siders is called Donny
apple Seed. We're having a lot of fun with you.
We have a passionate patriot we're thinking about and there
are general managers can kill me for saying this, but
we're thinking about impeachment. So it will be all it'll
be an apple slider, but it'll be you know, peach bass.
But so we're thinking about calling it. And we've got
a red, white and blueberry v fun with the siders.
But honestly, they're delicious. They're they're made the same way
that we make our sparkling lines. They're the best thing

(46:37):
you'll ever taste. They're they're they're they're amazing. And the
whole property is incredible. And the hotel is I mean,
you can't even get into the hotel. It's you know,
very small. We only have fourteen rooms and people book
it up literally months in advance, and it's it's been
so so incredible, this whole property.

Speaker 3 (46:50):
Travel guides have called the album Martle House, which is
their hotel here. One of the best destination bed and
breakfast inns in the nation. So again, nothing Trump does
is done halfway. You told me that when you guys
took over the winery here, Eric, I have to ask though,
growing up in New York City, like I, did you
know there's parts of Upstate New York which we all

(47:12):
in New York City, we called Upstate New York Westchester
where there was apple picking. Please tell me there are
some instances where you and your dad went apple picking
up in you know, upstate New York.

Speaker 24 (47:24):
And it's still a tradition when my kids, doll, I
take them. I try and take them every year. And
I said, what's a better what's a better tradition? And
now in Virginia they're actually doing apple picking a little
bit different. We obviously have incredible apple trees, but they're
also we're taking a lot of the apple trees and
putting them on trellis a similar way to what you
do with wine.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
Wow.

Speaker 24 (47:40):
And what it does is for small kids, it makes
it a lot easier. They're actually able to go and
pick the apple versus trying to climb to the top
of a tree. And and so you get better yields,
you get better apples, you get better rietals, and so
you know we've really you know, we we have pink
Lady apples. We have I mean there's thirty different ridles
and apples. People come out here, they have the greatest time,
and the food is absolutely exceptional.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
Of course, now you have to take secret Service protection
with you. It's not as easy as go walk. I'm
going to segue into you've just released your new book
under Siege. They talk about this look inside the family you, Lara.
You know, everyone knows you and Don Junior in the
whole family, probably more than a lot of presidents. Your

(48:22):
family has been part of the affair. What was when
did you finally say somebody needs to write all this down.

Speaker 24 (48:29):
Yeah, well, you know they tried. They tried everything they
could to And you've known me for a long time.
You know many of the things that they put us through.
But they peached my father twice. They made up the
dirty dossiers, they made up the Russia hoax. They took
us off the ballots of Maine in Colorado. They threw
us off of Instagram and Facebook and Twitter and YouTube
everything you can possibly imagine. They raided our home, they
raided mar Lago, they raided the Lania's closet. They I

(48:52):
became the most opoenid person in American history. I've never
kind of speeding tickets shoe, and I became the most
opainted person in American history for doing absolutely not. I never
had a laptop from hell, you know. I never had
any of those bad habits that that other people have had.
And yet I became a person who was used as
a pinata, right because I happened to run the company.
They indicted my father ninety one times. Every single one
of them we've overturned. They did everything they could to

(49:14):
bankrupt us, to try and destroy our company, to try
and destroy our family, to try and break up our family,
to try and silence our voice, to try and gag
order us. As we were all gag ordered in every
court and every jurisdiction across this country. And I had
to write it all down. And then they tried to
kill my father, Butler the first time, and then they
tried to kill him this second time. And then they
just killed a very good friend of mine, Charlie Kirk.

(49:35):
And that's what it was. It was a siege. It
was a coordinated effort to destroy us in any way
shape because they didn't want our voice, they didn't want
us to stand on a stage. They hated who we were,
and they would do anything they possibly could. And Joe,
it's amazing. I mean, I've spent a lot of time
talking about fake media in the book, and I happened
to win number one on the New York Times. And
this wasn't the great irony of this, But this wasn't

(49:55):
just by like a little amount, right, I mean, I
won by you know, or one hundred thousand books on
New York Times. It was a decisive I never thought
I'd be the number one, number one author in the
country right now. This was not you know, I'm a
real estate guy. This is what I do. I do hospitality.
You see the best of what I do every single day.
But somebody had to tell the story about the crookedness.

(50:16):
And the book has been so unbelievable. Is he's successful.
It's been Amazon number one constantly for the last you know,
three weeks, and incredibly proud of it. I mean, it
was just very honest, very raw, no holding back. Probably
will ruffle some feathers, but those feathers needed to be ruffled.

Speaker 3 (50:32):
And his pop writes the forward to the book, as well,
get it for your Christmas gift, giving a guide. How
do you think just you know we're here, you and
I talked to folks Eric Trump's own with us. You know,
it's only been nine months of Trump two point zero.
I mean there's still three years left of this. What's

(50:53):
going to be left in the tank?

Speaker 24 (50:55):
Well, you'll have a lot left in the tank because
the guy's just I don't mean his energy, but yeah,
I mean he's unbelieve I did Joe. I constantly say,
you throw so much lead in the air that the
other side they don't know what to do with it,
Like they can't counter narrative. Meaning by the time they
try and start formulating their own narrative and getting all
their foot soldiers online, He's seven steps past them and
they have to counter.

Speaker 7 (51:13):
Right.

Speaker 24 (51:14):
That was yesterday's news. And I mean, listen, he's got
piece in the Middle East, he solved seven wars. Look
at our economy right now, biggest tax cuts in the
history of this nation. You see what he's doing with
energy prices. Energy prices are coming down in massive ways.
I mean it's look what he's doing with fentanyl. I
mean never before that, I think you're gonna have a
politicole party in this country that was going to fight
a president who wanted to take out drug boats, those

(51:35):
drug boats carrying fentanyl, who are literally poisoning our children.
I have four friends who have lost kids to fentanyl,
four who have, and we all do. I'm sure you
have friends I have, and pretty much everybody listening to
us right now. And you see these Democrats and they're saying,
they're saying they buil a boat that's carrying enough ventanyl
to poison ten thousand people. You know, how dare you
take out on the drug cartels? And my father's keeping

(51:56):
this world safe, He's keeping this country safe, he's keeping
our borders safe. He's the strongest economy, he's putting America
first again. He's leading the world in every And look
at the reception he gets he's over in Asia right now.
Look at the reception he has over an as no
president has. You know, Obama would go to Asia, go
to China. They wouldn't even bring staircase up air Force one.
He would go down like the little kids stairs on
like the base of Air Force one. It's so refreshing

(52:19):
to see America's winning on every front and and I
couldn't be more proud of him.

Speaker 3 (52:23):
Yeah, Eric Trump was The book is called Under Siege
New York Times bestseller and that's you know. They love
looking at that on the book review pages.

Speaker 4 (52:32):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
Trump Winery dot Com trumps Sidary dot com as well.
