  Speaker 1: More, Megan, Now make America great again than I've ever been.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Banking mornings great again. First thing today on the Chunk
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Median that by show Talas.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: On this Ted's Dy, the day we celebrate the gifts
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: that God has bestowed upon you and your zealous application
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: of them to a grateful constituency. Whatever they may be, butcher,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: baker or guitar like player, it doesn't make a difference.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Figure out what it is God has gifted you to do,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and then go do it. My role is to tell
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: you what went on last night. I'll give you my
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: analysis of it, but I also want to hear how
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it's impacting you where you are. Lots of primaries and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: activities like that, so we'll get into that. But other
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: things afoot as well. The latest out of San Diego
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and what Again context and news. We're getting leaked drips
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and drabs of information from a police officer and the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: police chief that's just trying to sate the mob rather
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: than protect evidentiary gatherings. But what we're learning is horrific
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: and heroic about the heroes that confronted the shooters and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: remind us all about how rather than see something, say something,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: see something, do something is as important mindset that we're learning,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and we should because we're going to face other campaigns coming.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: But here are the first things. We begin with primaries.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Alabama Senate primary, Barry Moore leads for the Republican Party
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: with thirty nine percent of the vote, but you need
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: fifty to win outright, so he's heading to a runoff.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: They haven't been able to determine whether it's Jared Hudson
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: or Steve Marshall who will be the other candidate. They
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: are separated by just over one percentage point right now.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: In the Texas Senate primary, John Cornyn all that money
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: spent by DC Republicans on his campaign got him one
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: point two percent margin over Ken Paxton, but neither reached
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: fifty percent, so they will go to a runoff. Just
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Mono Emano Wesley Hunt pulled in thirteen percent. James Tallerico
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: easily defeated Jasmine Crockett for the Democratic nomination in Texas Georgia,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Mike Collins forty percent of the vote, and then it
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: looks like Derek Dooley, the former football coach, has thirty
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: percent of the vote, Earl Carter pulled twenty five percent.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: There will be a runoff between Cullins and Duley john
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Offsoff won the Democratic primary unopposed. When everyone is talking
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: about Kentucky's fourth congressional district, ed Gallerin the victor fifty
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: five percent of the vote to Thomas Massey's forty five
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: percent of the vote. Galleryan will post Melissa Strange Democratic
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: nominee in November. And in Georgia's Supreme Court. Despite millions
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: of dollars spent by progressives to try to win those seats,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Charles Bethel and Haah Warren held onto those seats. Now
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: into other news of the world, Bill Cassidy, a week
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: removed from his primary defeat, decided to join Senate Democrats
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to move a bill to the floor for a full
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: vote to discuss restricting President Trump's ability to continue any
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: military operations against Iran without specific permission from the US Senate.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: President Trump said Tuesday he warned that the United States
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: might strike or ran again. Day after he postponed a
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: bombardment within an hour of its beginning because Arab allies
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: said that they had been talking with the Iranian leadership
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and they wanted deal. President Trump said they need to
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: start moving and start to open new fronts of communication.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Iran's parliament, however, is going to vote on a bill
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that would make it federal law in Iran to try
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: to kill President Trump and Benjamin Netan Yahoo. The fifty
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: eight million dollar award would be authorized for anyone who
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: kills Trump and net Nyahoo. United States and Cuba held
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: talks on a one hundred million dollar aid package. According
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to Mike Hammer, US ambassador to Havana, and twenty five
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: states are suing the Department of Education over limits on
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: federal graduate student loans, saying the restrictions could worsen shortages
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: in healthcare workforce. The lawsuit filed in federal court in
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Maryland and led by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: We'll be heading for hearing shortly, and those are some
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: of our first things this Ted's morning.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Every state is home.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: To significant historic sites that tell the American story. Not
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: every site is telling that story honestly and fairly. That's
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: why the Heritage Foundation created the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: This interactive guide equips American citizens with the tools they
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: need to enjoy the sites that depict some of the
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: greatest moments at our nation's history, analyzing them for historical accuracy,
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: and provides resources for families or educators planning a visit.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: It currently covers over forty five sites in the thirteen
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: original colonies, but sites from all fifty states will be
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: added in time for citizens to celebrate America to fifty
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: this summer. From Mount Vernon to Independence Hall to Gettysburg
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: and more. Americans deserve transparency, and sites that steward our
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: history faithfully deserve our gratitude. The Heritage Guide to Historic
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: Sites invites every American to rediscover the places and stories
• 6:47

  Speaker 10: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: inflammation has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: prevent cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer,
• 8:46
  Speaker 10: and in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects
• 8:51
  Speaker 10: our healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where

  Speaker 12: Hiverybody, I'm Jack. It's always a boy growing up on
• 10:01
  Speaker 12: a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm
• 10:04
  Speaker 12: not only in alle of their beauty and kindness, but
• 10:06
  Speaker 12: also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds
• 10:09
  Speaker 12: who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who
• 10:13
  Speaker 12: work hard to provide for their young, or penguins who
• 10:15
  Speaker 12: travel up to five hundred miles to secure food for
• 10:18
  Speaker 12: their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 12: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:24
  Speaker 12: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 12: the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 12: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life
• 10:33
  Speaker 12: saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports.
• 10:36
  Speaker 12: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
• 10:39
  Speaker 12: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
• 10:42
  Speaker 12: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
• 10:44
  Speaker 12: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those

• 11:03
  Speaker 13: the woots.
• 11:05
  Speaker 12: And now a speech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: art and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 13: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
• 11:15
  Speaker 13: brain is saying when it's time to go home. Somebody
• 11:18
  Speaker 13: call me a ride.

  Speaker 14: Love that guy, me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 15: Know your buzzed warning signs, Call for a ride when

  Speaker 2: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Midnight Cruise on the Loos.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: This was reading an interesting email here email, and I'm
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: going to read it because it makes you think for
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: a minute, and that's never a bad thing. Bob writes
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: in Joe, I heard you speaking earlier this month about
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: how many faiths have had to work on various parts
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: tenants of their scripture in order to make it work
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: in an American mythos and some of that had been
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: going on even prior to that. Reformations, catechisms, etc. Go
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: through the history of various religions. And your point was
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: that the Islamic faith needs to purge itself of some
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: of these things that are used to inflame violent behavior
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: against those who don't agree with you as an answer
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: to that problem. And I agree with that as well.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: What if, Bob writes, and he writes in parentheses, I
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: know you're probably not going to read this on the air,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: but see that's usually a guarantee that I'm going to
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: read it on the earth. Don't challenge me, Bob. He
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: goes on to say, says, what if instances like we're
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: appearing to see have happened in San Diego? Are that
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: motivation to the Islamic leaders in the United States to
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: say we need to tamp down our rhetoric. Why is
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: it always conservatives and Republicans that need to look at
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: our rhetoric. We need to look at our Second Amendment,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: We need to look at our Fifth Amendment and find
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: out ways that we were wrong the colonialists, right, Yeah,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: those who have taken that isn't there. So I get
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: what your point is, Bob, And unfortunately, I would love
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: to say we are judicious enough to do that, but
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: generally we work in a world where violence begats violence,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and it's just going to say, well, if you're going
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: to do that, now I'm going to and it just
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: ramps up, it ratchets up. I'd love to talk more
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: with folks like Zudi Jasser in the American Islamic Forum
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: for Democracy and say, I mean, how does this square?
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Because it's appearing through again incontextual releasings of the police, leaking,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: police officers, Hey, I know something, did you see the kids?
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: And a lot of it is driven by people who've
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: gone to social media because you know these people, these suspects.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Once you know who the suspect is, it's pretty easy
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: to go find their social media stuff, especially on places
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: like the Wayback Machine, and find what they've been posting,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: who they've been talking about. This what is it called
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the legacy of taran or whatever? Nonsense? But it's not
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: nonsense because you're dealing with, first and foremost, a virus
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: worse than the ebola. The virus that we're infected with
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: is purposelesssness. That's a purposelessness. Yeah, I think I got
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: that right. We are bereft of purpose. The whole point
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: of Tedsday is to say, God has put you here
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: with a purpose, what is it? But we've isolated and
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: siloed ourselves off, just as I've warned about in the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: days of your Bob, And then we start to feel like, oh,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: you know, nobody likes me, all right, these people seem
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: to like me. And what happens, and this happens in
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: real life too, is the drug gangs, the organized crime gangs,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: people who just want your kid to be a horn
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: in their game, prey upon them, say hey, come join us,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: we'll be your friends. And the Internet is full of
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: these places because the anonymity that these people feel like
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: they have runs so deep. These groups that horrific discussions
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: about children, and then they go out and go find
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: children and they don't have to do Oh I was
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: just on the internet. We were just joking. The kid
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: killed himself because we know he couldn't take a joke.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: And none of it is the fault of any of
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: these inanimate objects computers, cell phones, anything like that. We
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: are the broken ones. We need to fix our brokenness.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: And as much as we get mad when you know
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: a violent, adherent to Mohammed puts on a dynamite vest
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: or grabs some firearms and shoots up a school in
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the name of Allah. Some group of folks who are
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: ill equipped to fit in on their own, or feel
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: that they don't have what is necessary prerequisites to go on,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: they get into their chat rooms and start to well, okay,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: and they love them because they're foot soldiers. It's a
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: recruiting drive. And you know, so what we're learning about
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: in San Diego is nothing new, and it's not anyone's
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: fault but ours, because if they're our seventeen year olds
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: who don't feel like they have a purpose, that's a failure.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: And I understand a lot of folks are saying his
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: mom did good work by calling the police when she
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: thought there'd be trouble. The question remains, though, why did
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: mom think there'd be trouble? And where was Dad? And
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I've got a guess coming up, A couple of them
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: coming up in a little bit here to discuss parenting
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: in an abstract in one case, the importance of parenting
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: and what we don't what we don't set up for
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: one another. So we'll get into that coming up. Because
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: our tax code and our actual piles of legal hoarding
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: that we do. We keep piling new laws on to
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: try to enact social adherents, and we make our society
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: worse each and every time we pile a new one on. There.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Let me get to you at four three four eight
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: eight two four two one seven. Good morning. You're on
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the air with Joe First thing this morning. Who's this?

• 29:28
  Speaker 22: And yeah, I did recently write a book called Love
• 29:32
  Speaker 22: and Go. Twelve Powerful Truths for a blessed life. But
• 29:35
  Speaker 22: for a little backdrop, I'm also CEO of a business
• 29:39
  Speaker 22: called Kelly Benefits and we're in the group insurance benefit.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, uh, and I didn't I didn't know that. But
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I'm curious about then, even more so, how how you
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: found yourself with pen in hand writing this book? Was it,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: you know, looking back on it was? Was it one
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: of those things where this book has been bubbling under
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: you for many years and you finally realized it.
• 30:03
  Speaker 17: Yeah, you know.
• 30:04
  Speaker 22: So, I'm in my early sixties, at the age of twenty,
• 30:07
  Speaker 22: I had a spiritual awakening at Cornell University.
• 30:10
  Speaker 17: I'd like to say, we're my faith.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Rank I lost his cell No, I'm right here, okay, yeah, yeah,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: And you know Cornell and my family are well acquainted
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: with others. What happened in Ithaca and New York that
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: awoke in your faith? Yeah?
• 30:34
  Speaker 17: Well, I was a student athlete.
• 30:36
  Speaker 22: I was playing football, lacrosse, and sport had kind of
• 30:40
  Speaker 22: gone from being a game to a god little g
• 30:43
  Speaker 22: God like an idol. And God allowed some injuries and
• 30:46
  Speaker 22: some challenges with coaches to get my attention. Then, as
• 30:49
  Speaker 22: God often does, he puts people in our lives at
• 30:51
  Speaker 22: different times and put an All American wrestler and a
• 30:55
  Speaker 22: football teammate who began to talk to me about what
• 30:58
  Speaker 22: it means to have a personal relationship with God.
• 31:00
  Speaker 17: And I'd said, you know, I've got a little religion.
• 31:03
  Speaker 17: You know, I kind of believed in God.
• 31:05
  Speaker 22: I just did not understand the concept of a personal
• 31:07
  Speaker 22: relationship with God or a surrendered life to God. And
• 31:11
  Speaker 22: God allowed some things to come to a head my
• 31:13
  Speaker 22: sophomore year.
• 31:14
  Speaker 17: Actually, one day, in the middle of the cross.
• 31:15
  Speaker 22: Practice, cried out, and I feel like that day I
• 31:18
  Speaker 22: went from having a little relationship to having a person
• 31:21
  Speaker 22: or a little religion to having a personal relationship with
• 31:23
  Speaker 22: God as I cried out to him and asked Jesus
• 31:26
  Speaker 22: Christ to come into my life. And you know, over
• 31:29
  Speaker 22: the next forty years, I became an avid note taker.
• 31:32
  Speaker 22: Whenever I heard a message.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Frank, oh gosh, it's doing it again. There's somebody working
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: on the cell phone towers out there in Ithaca. Or
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: is he calling from Maryland? You know they So you're
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: you're taking notes whenever you heard these messages, Frank, and
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I'm trying to boost the gain on
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: you as much as we can uhor a boost the
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: game and on the comms, you know. And yeah, I
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: read in your bio your member Fellowship of Christian Athletes
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: and certainly a fired up bunch. They are as well
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: and a larger group than I think anyone realizes there
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: talk about that journey, Frank.
• 32:19
  Speaker 22: Yeah, Joe, and I'm actually calling in from Baltimore, Maryland,
• 32:22
  Speaker 22: are where our corporate headquarters is. I'll be heading back
• 32:25
  Speaker 22: up to Cornell this weekend. Our youngest of four will
• 32:28
  Speaker 22: graduate from Cornell as well.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Congrats.
• 32:30
  Speaker 22: Yeah, yeah, but yeah, so I've been in a number
• 32:33
  Speaker 22: of involved in some ministries. One is FC a Fellowship
• 32:36
  Speaker 22: of Christian Athletes and you know, back to the title
• 32:40
  Speaker 22: of my book, Love and Go, like FCA is a
• 32:42
  Speaker 22: love and go ministry.
• 32:43
  Speaker 17: You know, love is about the.
• 32:45
  Speaker 22: Great commandment, love God with all your heart's, soul, mind
• 32:48
  Speaker 22: and strength. You know, I like to say, love God completely, others, compassionately,
• 32:52
  Speaker 22: yourself correctly, and then go and make disciples, go and
• 32:55
  Speaker 22: share God's love and truth and word.
• 32:57
  Speaker 17: Indeed, so.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: You know we're gonna have to, you know, I think
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: at some point we just need to try to get
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: a better connection to Frank, there is you know, I
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: know how Baltimore is. They're still working on I think
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: land lines there in Baltimore. But let's see if we
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: can't get a better connection to Frank, because you know,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: what he's talking about is what we're facing. I mean,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: in the wake of San Diego and all the other
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: places where our immorality has filled the gaps of our lives. Frank,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: and we got you back, yes, Okay, I just want
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: to see if we couldn't find a better connection starlink
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: or sky net or somebody needs to connect us. So
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: you talk about now you know how this now manifests
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: in the book and and bearing testimony to you know,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: morality and and having a positive impact on people going forward.
• 34:01
  Speaker 22: Yeah, Well, I share twelve powerful truths that I've learned
• 34:06
  Speaker 22: over my sixty physical years forty spiritual years.
• 34:10
  Speaker 17: And that I think are practical and relevant. Each chapter
• 34:13
  Speaker 17: has a truth.
• 34:14
  Speaker 22: Statement, a scripture, some stories, and then kind of ends
• 34:18
  Speaker 22: with a little simple prayer and some questions for reflection.
• 34:21
  Speaker 22: So it's a great book for individuals to do together,
• 34:24
  Speaker 22: you know, maybe partnered up or in a small group,
• 34:27
  Speaker 22: and it's about applying God's truth, you know, like the
• 34:30
  Speaker 22: power of God's worth the Bible.
• 34:31
  Speaker 17: The power of praise is the title of a chapter.
• 34:34
  Speaker 22: There's a scripture that says God in habits the praise
• 34:36
  Speaker 22: of his people. And what does that mean? What does
• 34:38
  Speaker 22: that look like in your family and your business in life?
• 34:42
  Speaker 22: You know the power of prayer and what is prayer?
• 34:45
  Speaker 22: You know, I'd grown up kind of reciting formal prayers,
• 34:49
  Speaker 22: but didn't understand the prayers really minute by minute, daily
• 34:52
  Speaker 22: communication with God, ay.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Your actions right as much as anything. It's it is
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: the uh. It is that you know. It isn't just
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: that formal forgive me Father kind of stuff that is
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: standard in many ways. It is everything you do is
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: a prayer and a message. Frank, if I'm reading you correctly,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: am I.
• 35:19
  Speaker 17: Yeah?
• 35:19
  Speaker 22: I mean I mean prayers, communication with God. And we
• 35:23
  Speaker 22: can do that quietly. And you know, one thing I
• 35:25
  Speaker 22: learned is we can pray and talk with God anywhere, anytime.
• 35:29
  Speaker 22: It doesn't have to be in a religious setting. It's
• 35:31
  Speaker 22: all about a relationship.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: And I've said on this program many times Frank, that
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: you know, in order for us to be self governing,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: we need to be looks at notes self governing. And
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: that was the point of the Constitution, was trusting us
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: to understand our responsibility to one another. Do you feel
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: like gosh o man in Baltimore. It's got to be tough,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: but you know, man's inhumanity to man has been on
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: the march for a while now. And is it your
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: hope that your book does something towards stemming that tide?
• 36:05
  Speaker 17: Yeah, it is. And you know, I'm very involved in Baltimore.
• 36:08
  Speaker 22: There's one of the chapters again on the power of prayer.
• 36:12
  Speaker 22: In Baltimore, we've established a prayer circle movement.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: We watched it happen during the riots in Charlottesville. One
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: of my dear friends who does some work with FCA
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: down here, but John Cousenberry and the works with the
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: city elders here actually runs a chapter. But he started
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: a program in the middle of the riots in Charlottesville
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: in August of twenty seventeen. It was fascinating to watch
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: how it really did part the seas. Frank, where's the
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: best place for people who get your book?
• 36:47
  Speaker 17: Yeah?
• 36:48

  Speaker 13: its risk factors. Efforts led by the American Heart Association
• 38:35

• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us on this Ted Steve morning.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: We started out and I want to go back to
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: this because post primary is a lot of say, oh,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Tommy Massey's gone, what are we going to do? John
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Cornyon institutional memory and you know this is this is
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: unfortunately what we've become now. We are a rule. We
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: are allowing ourselves, through the cult of personality and and
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: visual media to become affected by this cult of personality
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: where it is the man or the woman and not
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: the law. I want to elect John oss Off because
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: he's going to go fix all my problems for me.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: I want to elect John Cornyon because he's going to
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: go fix all my problems for me. This time. I'm sorry,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: couldn't help myself. And this is not what it's supposed
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: to be. This is what I was talking about when
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: I talk about this legislative hoarding. We just kind of
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: write stuff we were talking about this last week.
• 45:22
  Speaker 20: The the.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Idea that if you engage in something that's already illegal,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: obstruction of justice will come up with new things to
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: charge you with, like domestic terrorism, which you know, I'm
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: friends with the guy who's proposing the bill, and I
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: get why. But domestic terrorism already is against the law,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: and so is obstructing of justice. Is see what I mean.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: But it's it's legislative hoarding, where we're adding more things
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: to where we don't need them. We already have them.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Good morning, You're on the air with Joe. First thing
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: this morning. Who's this, Hey, Joe.
• 46:11
  Speaker 17: It's Joel.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: I had to double dip today. It's Joel's Joel. Now, okay,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: go ahead, real quick.
• 46:17
  Speaker 24: I just wanted to say this so COVID gave us
• 46:21
  Speaker 24: the simulation lab, and now AI that is being incorporated
• 46:27
  Speaker 24: in our a lot of our daily.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Joel, I'm not sure. I wanted to ask him what
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: the simulation lab is? I get here, I get I
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: get the concept of what a simulation lab is. Uh,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: but I've never heard its specifically used. What do you
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: mean COVID gave us the simulation lab? Well?
• 46:52
  Speaker 18: Are you are you believing what you're actually hearing and seeing?
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: Is it real?
• 46:58
  Speaker 18: Is it factual?
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Because us? Well, okay, I get what you're saying there, Joel,
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: And and I see what your point is is that
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: we have to be able to.
• 47:13
  Speaker 18: Give now we have a right?
• 47:15
  Speaker 17: I mean, yeah, yeah, AI, is that real or fake?
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: Well, but this is where this is where we have
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: to be raising kids. And I think again going to
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: intentionalities that we you know, we have kids who don't
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: engage in the Socratic method. They're not out there questioning
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: all the answers. They're just accepting the answers because we
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: have made their upbringing answer driven. It's it's result oriented
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: rather than process oriented. You know. And I'm not talking
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: about your common core math where if you look like
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: you have the equation right, I'll give you some points
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: we can debate that. I'm saying that, you know, in
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: the world of history, mystery, you name it, the people
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: who question the answers are the ones that will lead.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: And we need to be We need our kids to
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: question everything because if they don't, they're gonna wind up
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: being sheep herded into an apatois.
• 48:19
  Speaker 18: Have you ever brought your the station out to like
• 48:21
  Speaker 18: a high school, like an auditorium and say, hey, I
• 48:25
  Speaker 18: mean you know, and have them do a format like
• 48:29
  Speaker 18: an open like an a town hall meeting.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Well, I know that sounds nice in concept, they don't
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: work well in practice. They're bad radio. In the first place,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: nobody nobody has denied access to call in. It's the
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: same thing. You know, there's some radio shows that go
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: to a pub on Friday, as if you know, Friday
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: happy hour still means anything in the zeitgeist, and they're like, oh,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: we're going to drink beer and talk politics. I'm like, well,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: you know, I've done that in pubs my whole life.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: As soon as the light go on and the microphones
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: come out, people don't want to talk. That's one of
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: the magic of radio is that you know, you can
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: call in and yeah, some of it is the seed
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: DNA of the internet, where it's not anonymous.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: It's like, uh.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Kareem earlier was asking you had heard you mentioned one
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: phone call you were struggling to find a job, and
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: I gave him a quick synopsis of the fact that
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: you had gone someplace where they needed more people who
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: do what you do and you're working again, which is
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: just an economic truth there. But yeah, we know one another,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: we look out for one another. The person who's sitting
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: with the radio on listening to us like, they sound
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: like nice people. I can hang out with these folks,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: and that's the whole gig. It's to lay out some
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: information for you, and if you have a question of it,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: you can question those answers. And I find those auditorium
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: groups generally, you know, are not the best way to
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: have somebody feel empowered to ask something that might not
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: fit the common denominator, you know what I'm saying. So
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: you generally wind up with kids staring at you for
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: four hours and that's kind of awkward too, But I
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: get what you mean is to get people involved. And
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: I just saw some statistics in one of my trade
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: papers that said talk radio and news radio is booming
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: with people twenty five to thirty five, and it's a
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: demographic we use in radio because and I don't know
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: if it's the Charlie Kirk effect, not just because he
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: had a radio show, but because he's engaging people in
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: conversation or some of these other young guys who are
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: out there questioning all the answers. But that's what young
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: people need to be doing, and it's not you know,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Kentucky has had congressional districts as long as they've existed
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: as a state. Thomas Massey has only been representing them
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: for a while, and he questioned answers very well. The
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: political parties, All of this stuff needs to be questioned
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: and how did we get here, why are we here?
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: What purpose is it doing? Because that's that's how we're
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: going to keep the authoritarians at bay. And Joel, do
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: we lose them again.
• 51:32
  Speaker 18: Then yeah, it helps. It helps him visualize a picture
• 51:39
  Speaker 18: while they're talking to somebody on the radio too well.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: But also it's it's even listen. I have found in
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: my limited experience with humans, that is, you know, thirty
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: forty years of interacting with them and raising three of
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: my own, that it's it's not a special skill to
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: be able to smell the bovine excrement. Most people, you know,
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: when they start asking why, there's a pretty good reason
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: because something just doesn't pencil out for them, you know
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: what I mean.
• 52:10
  Speaker 18: Yeah, exactly, it may it may trigger something or like
• 52:14
  Speaker 18: or want more, you know, want more, understanding.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: Exactly good stuff, Joel, Thank you, sir, well asked and
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: never never deny yourself the opportunity to ask a question.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: That's why we have the phone number. You can find
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: the podcast of all of it up online at any
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: of the distribution networks. Look for a first thing today
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Life coming until tomorrow morning, five Easter and I am
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas, So long and thanks for all the fish.
• 52:51
  Speaker 13: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  Speaker 13: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  Speaker 13: California based chiropractor with more than three years of experience,
• 53:01
  Speaker 13: this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
• 53:05
  Speaker 13: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:09
  Speaker 13: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:12
  Speaker 13: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
• 53:16
  Speaker 13: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
• 53:20
  Speaker 13: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:24
  Speaker 13: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
• 53:27
  Speaker 13: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:30
  Speaker 13: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:33
  Speaker 13: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:36
  Speaker 13: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home,
• 53:38
  Speaker 13: and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos
• 53:42
