- 0:39Speaker 4: tells you what went on last night.
- 0:42Speaker 6: I want to be Joe.
- 0:44Speaker 4: We'll tell you how we see it playing out, but
- 0:46Speaker 4: we also want to hear how it's impacting you where
- 0:49Speaker 4: you are at four three four eight eight two four
- 0:52Speaker 4: two one seven. That's the text message line as well
- 0:56Speaker 4: as it functions as a phone number as well. Get
- 0:59Speaker 4: that coming up for you. I got to play this
- 1:02Speaker 4: clip because we were talking about Corey Booker and the
- 1:06Speaker 4: Senate will tell you about it in our First Things
- 1:09Speaker 4: coming Up. But they want to hang up the Senate
- 1:12Speaker 4: so that they can drag Marco Rubio and Pete Hegsith
- 1:16Speaker 4: in front of them to answer. There are questions about
- 1:18Speaker 4: the president's constitutional use. I hope somebody enters into the
- 1:23Speaker 4: public record. This clip from Friday's Bill Maher program.
- 1:27Speaker 8: This statement from the administration, the president had the constitutional
- 1:31Speaker 8: authority to direct the use of military force because he
- 1:33Speaker 8: could reasonably determine.
- 1:35Speaker 4: By the way he's speaking with US Senator Adam Schiff.
- 1:39Speaker 8: That's such use of force was in the national interest.
- 1:42Speaker 8: That's too vague for you. Totally vague, okay, because that's
- 1:46Speaker 8: from Obama about Libya.
- 1:48Speaker 9: Well, Obama made the argument initially that he could go
- 1:52Speaker 9: into Syria without an authorisation.
- 1:54Speaker 10: I and many others pushed back on that argument.
- 1:57Speaker 4: And we went and we checked and he didn't. But
- 1:59Speaker 4: that's ok because he was on the fly and on
- 2:03Speaker 4: the fly paper there yesterday and this you know, and
- 2:07Speaker 4: I appreciate not this, Bill Maher, because I you know,
- 2:11Speaker 4: whether or not you think he's funny or not, it's
- 2:14Speaker 4: the fact that he is, like we all should be doing,
- 2:18Speaker 4: pushing back against hypocrisy. Don't pee on my leg and
- 2:25Speaker 4: tell me that I have the bladder control problem, which
- 2:33Speaker 4: is what they're doing these days. That's their attitude is,
- 2:37Speaker 4: you know, why do you have a problem with what
- 2:39Speaker 4: we're doing? So when Barack Obama goes and utilanarily does something,
- 2:47Speaker 4: well it's okay because he's on our team. And that's
- 2:50Speaker 4: that's if you're a Democrat and you're in California, of
- 2:55Speaker 4: course that's like redundant, isn't it. But if you're there
- 2:58Speaker 4: listening to kha I Kahi, then you know, how do
- 3:04Speaker 4: you say that to Adam Schiff? Can we find out
- 3:08Speaker 4: if Adam Schiff wins minus the four hundred thousand mystery
- 3:11Speaker 4: votes at any event? Onto our first things this morning,
- 3:15Speaker 4: mailers went out to Virginia voters that have inflamed moods
- 3:21Speaker 4: in the halls of government, invoking imagery of Jim Crow
- 3:26Speaker 4: one point zero. The Speaker of the House said using
- 3:33Speaker 4: the civil rights movement as a prop is wrong. Of course,
- 3:38Speaker 4: he didn't check with Chuck Schumer before saying that the
- 3:41Speaker 4: same act is Jim Crow two point zero.
- 3:44Speaker 7: More than twenty million people would lose their right to vote.
- 3:49Speaker 4: The administration is asking the Supreme Court to clear way
- 3:52Speaker 4: for moves that could expose thousands more people to deportation.
- 3:57Speaker 4: The Justice Department wants a ruling from the High Court
- 4:01Speaker 4: that would let it move quickly and end legal protection
- 4:03Speaker 4: for migrants under the Autopen Amnesty Act that President Biden
- 4:10Speaker 4: started using in twenty twenty two. The administration has expanded
- 4:15Speaker 4: its investigation into irregularities in the twenty twenty election, with
- 4:19Speaker 4: a grand jury subpoenas seeking records related to Maricopa County, Arizona.
- 4:29Speaker 4: Republican Senate President Warren Peterson wrote on x the FBI
- 4:35Speaker 4: has the records. Any other report is fake news. Department
- 4:40Speaker 4: of Justice has reached a tentative settlement and its antitrust
- 4:43Speaker 4: lawsuit against Ticketmaster and its parent company, Live Nation. The
- 4:50Speaker 4: term sheet spells out details that Live Nation had agreed
- 4:53Speaker 4: to would let a certain portion of tickets be sold
- 4:57Speaker 4: by entities other than Ticketmaster. It would also set up
- 5:01Speaker 4: to fifty percent of tickets to be sold through any
- 5:04Speaker 4: ticketing marketplace at arenas and performance venues owned by Live Nation.
- 5:11Speaker 4: It also calls for Ticketmaster to capt service fees at
- 5:15Speaker 4: those amphitheaters to fifteen percent and divest ownership of control
- 5:20Speaker 4: or control of thirteen amphitheaters, including venues in Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Syracuse,
- 5:27Speaker 4: New York, and Austin, Texas. The administration is preparing an
- 5:33Speaker 4: economic deal with Cuba that will be announced in the
- 5:36Speaker 4: next couple of weeks. Leaks to the press have said
- 5:41Speaker 4: and Cory Booker says the Senate will hold up proceedings
- 5:44Speaker 4: if they don't get answers from Marco Rubio and Pete Hexas.
- 5:48Speaker 4: On the bombardment of Iran, Benjamin net Yahoo, Prime Minister
- 5:53Speaker 4: of Israel, vowed to keep striking Iran, saying our aim
- 5:57Speaker 4: is to bring the Iranian people to cast off the
- 6:00Speaker 4: yoke of tyranny. It ultimately depends on them.

- 10:27Speaker 15: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

- 12:27Speaker 11: Hey?
- 12:27Speaker 24: Are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 12:29Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 12:30Speaker 23: I'm pretty sober.

- 13:08Speaker 3: Was the unge like the college as quick for you
- 13:13Speaker 3: from Jode Thomas. It's first thing today.
- 13:16Speaker 4: Thank you for letting us be of service. Set So
- 13:20Speaker 4: on the subject of shifty, you know California's favorite pantload.
- 13:28Speaker 4: I went and I checked this. I'm sorry that four
- 13:31Speaker 4: hundred thousand magical mystery votes would not have changed the
- 13:35Speaker 4: California Senate race because Steve Garvey found out pretty quickly
- 13:40Speaker 4: that the Dodgers went all that popular in California even
- 13:44Speaker 4: when he played there. Most people in California outside of
- 13:48Speaker 4: the Los Angeles metropolitan area hate the Dodgers as much
- 13:51Speaker 4: as most people in the East Eastern Seaboard hate the
- 13:55Speaker 4: New York Yankees off for the same reason. Let me
- 13:58Speaker 4: get to folks here. Also for our friends in Colorado, No,
- 14:04Speaker 4: Jared Poulis won by more than four hundred thousand votes,
- 14:08Speaker 4: so it wouldn't have automatically flipped that. I'm sorry. I
- 14:10Speaker 4: can't deliver good news on this to everybody. These twenty
- 14:13Speaker 4: million magical mystery votes. If if you divvy them up equally,
- 14:17Speaker 4: Police doesn't lose to Heidi Grenale, you know, anymore than
- 14:23Speaker 4: then Abigail Spanberger loses to win some seis. Let me
- 14:29Speaker 4: get to folks lining up on the phones here, Good morning,
- 14:31Speaker 4: who's this morning show? It's my Hey Mike, what's going on?
- 14:39Speaker 10: Surprisingly? I got a phone service? Well I tried calling in.
- 14:46Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
- 14:48Speaker 10: Saturday, I tried calling in. I was headed to Richmond.
- 14:52Speaker 10: I could hear the live stream live, but I can't
- 14:55Speaker 10: call and what's the same phone. It's just it's amazing
- 15:01Speaker 10: how government can muck up the good safely. Wait is
- 15:07Speaker 10: uh well, there's just so much stuff like the Virginia
- 15:14Speaker 10: Supreme Court. Uh disappointed me twice in a couple of
- 15:19Speaker 10: weeks time. Not that I was really surprised, but I
- 15:24Speaker 10: thought they would have realized the difference between politics and law. No,
- 15:29Speaker 10: they god classified it all as politics and now we're
- 15:35Speaker 10: not interfering, right.
- 15:38Speaker 4: It's it's like I said, the analogy is, you know
- 15:41Speaker 4: somebody's robbing my house, officer, will you stop them? Well,
- 15:44Speaker 4: we can't do anything until after they get out of
- 15:46Speaker 4: your house and leave with all the goodies. Like what,
- 15:50Speaker 4: but that's what they that's what they're doing. Yeah.
- 15:54Speaker 10: Uh so if the reference random succeeds, then virgendas Supreme
- 16:01Speaker 10: Court will be well.
- 16:03Speaker 11: The voters vote.
- 16:05Speaker 10: Uh well, I'm sorry, we're not differentiating between eligible and
- 16:12Speaker 10: non eligible. Were different changing between ballid stuffing and uh
- 16:19Speaker 10: people that actually showed up. Oh wait, god, I'm getting
- 16:22Speaker 10: all that.
- 16:22Speaker 11: Confuse that aren't just going.
- 16:24Speaker 10: To declare uh the uh the refrenderum on the constitution
- 16:32Speaker 10: of valid and or if it fails despite all of
- 16:37Speaker 10: that uh stuff, like a My joke is vote early,
- 16:42Speaker 10: vote often, Vote for your spouse, vote for your children,
- 16:46Speaker 10: vote for your parents, for your pets, vote for your neighbors.
- 16:52Speaker 10: Again trying to unless you're a Democrat and you feel.
- 16:57Speaker 4: It needs to you but uh, well yeah, I appreciate that.
- 17:03Speaker 10: So Mike, so if you're if it gets your voted down,
- 17:10Speaker 10: then what is the uh uh Supreme cargoing site. Oh
- 17:17Speaker 10: it's a new point. Now you will toss the laws
- 17:20Speaker 10: of you anyway.
- 17:21Speaker 4: Well, this is this is why I said, he's what
- 17:24Speaker 4: Mike is talking about. Is if Virginia Supreme Court was
- 17:27Speaker 4: asked to stop this vote because of five different instances
- 17:31Speaker 4: where the Democratic Party of Virginia broke laws, either federal
- 17:36Speaker 4: law or state laws regarding how this was conducted, and
- 17:40Speaker 4: the Supreme Court said, yeah, but we we have a
- 17:44Speaker 4: longstanding history of not interfering with legislative processes, and that's
- 17:50Speaker 4: ridiculous if they've clearly broken the law to do a
- 17:53Speaker 4: legislative process. This this sets up into the John Roberts
- 17:57Speaker 4: world of well, it's already been done, so we're just
- 18:00Speaker 4: we're just going to work around the edges of it.
- 18:03Speaker 4: They're not going to change it. This is why I
- 18:05Speaker 4: would like to see the Virginia the Virginia State Board
- 18:10Speaker 4: of Elections enjoined by the court to keep from releasing
- 18:15Speaker 4: the election results until we know what the Supreme Court
- 18:18Speaker 4: rules because I don't want to. I don't want the
- 18:20Speaker 4: Supreme Court to be tainted by what an election result is.
- 18:24Speaker 4: But that being said, they've already kind of let the
- 18:27Speaker 4: dog out of the dog kennel. Mic, You have a
- 18:30Speaker 4: good morning, sir. Thank you, and you Joel's online too here.
- 18:36Speaker 4: Good morning, Joel. What's going on, sir?
- 18:39Speaker 11: Good mornings.
- 18:40Speaker 4: I just wanted to ask.
- 18:42Speaker 26: I know that when planted security and ICE they do
- 18:47Speaker 26: a lot of their research they go through because the
- 18:50Speaker 26: DMVs and each state has to report a portion of
- 18:54Speaker 26: the information to the FBI and Homeland Security. And I
- 19:01Speaker 26: don't understand, you know, because there's a lot of people
- 19:04Speaker 26: that are considered illegal with the illegal entry. I wonder
- 19:10Speaker 26: what percentage of them that they're actually finding out that
- 19:14Speaker 26: they're illegal through that process. Am I making sense?
- 19:18Speaker 4: Well? You are, But there are several places where the
- 19:21Speaker 4: board of the state DMV is enjoined by the courts
- 19:26Speaker 4: from sharing that information with federal authorities because they know
- 19:31Speaker 4: what's going to happen. Uh there. It's not the same
- 19:35Speaker 4: thing as the warden of a jail calling ICE saying, Hey,
- 19:43Speaker 4: one of our inmates is about to be released and
- 19:46Speaker 4: he's got a detainer on him, but it's very close.
- 19:49Speaker 4: It's all part of what goes under the idea of
- 19:52Speaker 4: a sanctuary state is we won't we don't ask, we
- 19:56Speaker 4: won't tell.
- 19:57Speaker 26: But isn't it by those or the judiciary doing that.
- 20:04Speaker 26: I'm not trying to make it too simplistic, but aren't
- 20:08Speaker 26: they violating federal law? I mean, can't they be this barred?
- 20:12Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing. And Number One, the United States
- 20:15Speaker 4: as a concept was supposed to be simple, was supposed
- 20:18Speaker 4: to be very straightforward and not a lot of eddies
- 20:20Speaker 4: and currents running off into the hinter lands. Number Two,
- 20:24Speaker 4: Supreme Court justices in many cases, state ones especially have
- 20:29Speaker 4: that sovereign immunity that they hide behind. So especially with
- 20:36Speaker 4: a court ruling, a court can rule that a rule
- 20:40Speaker 4: is constitutional or not, or just choose not to hear
- 20:45Speaker 4: the case being brought about it, which will have its
- 20:48Speaker 4: own meaning to how the case is determined. But in
- 20:54Speaker 4: no case can they be determined to have broken the
- 20:58Speaker 4: law because they're they've been asked to rule on something
- 21:02Speaker 4: and it's abstract. Rather than saying, hey, you said, sterilizing
- 21:06Speaker 4: Virginia citizens is legal? Is constitutional? That's a horrific violation
- 21:11Speaker 4: of law. You're under arrest, you, mister Holmes, and it's
- 21:15Speaker 4: just not going to happen. So because they get to
- 21:18Speaker 4: determine what is constitutional or not, they're sort of just
- 21:22Speaker 4: given that Hall pass on. Although to be fair, impeachment
- 21:27Speaker 4: happens much more frequently to judges, mostly federal judges, than
- 21:32Speaker 4: it happens to US presidents. I think the last ten cases,
- 21:38Speaker 4: eight cases of impeachment proceedings have involved judges, federal judges mostly.
- 21:46Speaker 4: So I hope that answers your question. You just have
- 21:48Speaker 4: to get somebody who's willing to bring those impeachment proceedings.
- 21:52Speaker 26: Yeah, it seems like that's the biggest part of what's
- 21:56Speaker 26: holding back.
- 21:57Speaker 4: You mean, finding somebody with guts. Yeah, that is no.

- 23:06Speaker 5: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
- 23:11Speaker 5: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
- 23:16Speaker 5: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
- 23:20Speaker 5: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
- 23:25Speaker 5: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
- 23:31Speaker 5: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
- 23:35Speaker 5: on patients, but as with any new technology, always keep
- 23:40Speaker 5: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
- 23:44Speaker 5: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
- 23:48Speaker 5: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
- 23:53Speaker 5: center of our profession. For more information on AI and

- 28:25Speaker 4: the dan Patrick School of Sportscasting where he is the
- 28:28Speaker 4: program director at full Sale University. To opine and way
- 28:32Speaker 4: in decades of covering it all and how many kids
- 28:38Speaker 4: you know? And I went to a school not unlike
- 28:40Speaker 4: the dan Patrick School of Broadcasting. How many kids can
- 28:44Speaker 4: you tell at the onset are going to go somewhere?
- 28:49Speaker 4: And I mean we know right away, really we know
- 28:52Speaker 4: right away. Yeah.
- 28:54Speaker 9: Now, like going back to Northwest Missouri, when I walked
- 28:57Speaker 9: in in the fallow seventy one, the director of broadcasting
- 28:59Speaker 9: wrong looked at me and went, no, no shot. So
- 29:03Speaker 9: I get you know, I get that, but a lot
- 29:05Speaker 9: of it changes it.
- 29:06Speaker 4: It really depends.
- 29:07Speaker 9: But we know, we know pretty much in our classes,
- 29:09Speaker 9: and I have the the whole curriculum, which I don't
- 29:12Speaker 9: know how many classes it is total. They go twenty
- 29:14Speaker 9: four months or they go extended twenty eight months. I'm
- 29:18Speaker 9: month four as far as the you know, the curriculum,
- 29:22Speaker 9: Dan Patrick curriculum, not not counting all the general of
- 29:26Speaker 9: the math and the science and stuff they got to
- 29:28Speaker 9: get through.

- 29:44Speaker 4: mess and and and they couldn't get me out of Strafford,
- 29:47Speaker 4: Connecticut fast enough.
- 29:50Speaker 9: And you know, it's definitely attitude, because kids can change
- 29:54Speaker 9: if they work at it.
- 29:55Speaker 4: We preach every day, practice, Okay.
- 29:58Speaker 9: I remember, as I said, I go back into my
- 30:00Speaker 9: days not to get in a whole big thing here,
- 30:02Speaker 9: but I would practice in a mirror constantly. My buddy
- 30:06Speaker 9: and I would fake commercials. We would practice play by play.
- 30:10Speaker 9: We sat in the stands in the rain with a
- 30:12Speaker 9: cassette machine doing Maryville and Mound City football.
- 30:17Speaker 4: On a Friday night in Missouri.
- 30:19Speaker 9: So I but these kids don't they don't know practice,
- 30:24Speaker 9: they don't know reps, you know, to get better. But well,

- 31:31Speaker 9: TV and what they want to expose and whatever. Well,
- 31:33Speaker 9: now JT is a free agent and he's he's working
- 31:38Speaker 9: through what to wear when he plays golf.
- 31:41Speaker 4: It's harder.
- 31:42Speaker 34: Like I mean, my wife will tell you, like I

- 32:41Speaker 9: are forecast during tournament week, well, Justin Thomas's week's half full.
- 32:47Speaker 34: You see a chance of storms and it's aw. You know,
- 32:49Speaker 34: you look at the weather today for the rest of
- 32:51Speaker 34: the week, and Thursday is gonna be a rain out.
- 32:54Speaker 34: I'm like, no, it's not like it's gonna get better.
- 32:56Speaker 2: It's gonna be fine.
- 32:56Speaker 4: Like it's there's yeah, there's a chance of rain.
- 32:58Speaker 34: But but that being said, yes, I'll look at the weather,
- 33:01Speaker 34: probably in advance, more so for packing purposes. I'll look
- 33:05Speaker 34: at weather and like, yeah, as I said, I got
- 33:07Speaker 34: seven or six options. So yeah, it sounds like what
- 33:10Speaker 34: everyone has the best there you go.
- 33:12Speaker 4: It sounds like Bill Murray. I think it said, at
- 33:15Speaker 4: least to the world hard shop keeacher. I don't think
- 33:17Speaker 4: the heavy stuff is due for quite some time.
- 33:19Speaker 9: Won the TPC in twenty one. He made ten million
- 33:22Speaker 9: last year, one win, four top fives, eight top tens.
- 33:25Speaker 9: Justin Thomas renformed to get back. But he's taking you know,
- 33:28Speaker 9: he's working through the back.
- 33:29Speaker 4: Thing, and it's just you know, very you know, ginger, ginger.
- 33:34Speaker 9: Poor Jimmy Cassella, who went back into the hospital because
- 33:37Speaker 9: his back surgery became my good buddy, former spotter. He
- 33:40Speaker 9: became the incision for his and I don't think it
- 33:45Speaker 9: was a microdissect me, but it was. But he had
- 33:47Speaker 9: rods put in his back and everything fusion. He had
- 33:50Speaker 9: to go back in because the incision was infected. So
- 33:54Speaker 9: he is back in the UVA hospital, going through, going
- 33:57Speaker 9: through everything.
- 33:58Speaker 4: Right, I got a guy coming up about that. I
- 34:00Speaker 4: turn it on.
- 34:01Speaker 9: I was working yesterday and getting ready for but and
- 34:04Speaker 9: I are going to record Foster and Friends today, and
- 34:07Speaker 9: I was working through some stuff.
- 34:09Speaker 4: I turned on.
- 34:10Speaker 9: Yukon had a twenty six point lead at halftime for.
- 34:14Speaker 4: Vilenova and the Women's Big East Championship.
- 34:16Speaker 9: I know we talked Geno a lot, but I think
- 34:19Speaker 9: ninety fifty.
- 34:21Speaker 4: One was the final lumber going over.
- 34:23Speaker 9: I didn't look at the line, but the Huskies are
- 34:25Speaker 9: thirty four to oh and they will enter the NCAA
- 34:28Speaker 9: Tournament undefeated for the eleventh time. It's only been done
- 34:32Speaker 9: ten other times from ten other schools, Yukon's nine and
- 34:35Speaker 9: eleven eleven times. They go into the NCAA Tournament undefeated.
- 34:39Speaker 9: Do you think he's gonna survive? And now he's I
- 34:43Speaker 9: think he's trying to grow a goatee. He's sporting the
- 34:45Speaker 9: silver look glasses. You know, yeah, Gino's looking good. The
- 34:50Speaker 9: West Coast finalist set for the men, Santa Clara beat
- 34:54Speaker 9: Saint Mary's the Zags when we meet the broncost tonight.
- 34:56Speaker 9: They beat Oregon State, which sounds weird. West Coast Conference
- 34:59Speaker 9: in Oregon State. Now the NCAA Tournament not until Sunday.
- 35:04Speaker 9: Of course, the pairings will be on Sunday, but the
- 35:06Speaker 9: tournament games today, full slate of you know, a ton
- 35:09Speaker 9: of games. Virginia Tack will play today, wake Forth plays tonight,
- 35:14Speaker 9: and twenty four tournament games on tap today.
- 35:17Speaker 4: So it is just get ready for the basketball explosion
- 35:20Speaker 4: because it is here. And what happened to women's basketball
- 35:23Speaker 4: because for a long time things were getting way more competitive.
- 35:27Speaker 4: So like when Gino first took over Yukon, it was
- 35:29Speaker 4: him and Pat Summit and basically until Tennessee played Yukon,
- 35:34Speaker 4: the games were going to be what was the final
- 35:36Speaker 4: score yesterday, eighty ninety fifty one. All right, most it
- 35:41Speaker 4: was because there was just a handful of schools that
- 35:44Speaker 4: were that much further ahead, and they were getting the
- 35:48Speaker 4: great athletes. So the best female basketball players all wanted
- 35:53Speaker 4: to go. But I mean, for a while it was
- 35:55Speaker 4: Notre Dame was in there. And of course you got
- 35:58Speaker 4: South Carolina now in there.
- 36:00Speaker 9: But you know, there's a there's a handful. I mean,
- 36:03Speaker 9: the tournament gonna be fair. I mean, but South Carolina
- 36:05Speaker 9: could be by Texas. Texas has got a great chance
- 36:07Speaker 9: to grab a number one seed. I mean, don State
- 36:09Speaker 9: I got beat on Sunday in the SEC final. So
- 36:13Speaker 9: and it's again, it's gonna be fairly I think, fairly competitive.
- 36:16Speaker 4: Happened you know in our flagship James Madison nil? Yeah,
- 36:22Speaker 4: I guess yeah, jamu jam you one last. Yeah that's forty.
- 36:26Speaker 4: But it's nil. So even in the women's game. That's
- 36:30Speaker 4: what's impacting. This is yeah, follow the rams, you got it. Yeah,
- 36:34Speaker 4: it's still until we get a grasp of.
- 36:36Speaker 9: A boy or boy there are a lot of people
- 36:39Speaker 9: uh jumping, and that's one of the things that Bud
- 36:41Speaker 9: and I are going to talk about this week is
- 36:43Speaker 9: because the congressional hearings.
- 36:45Speaker 4: Nick Saban I tild I mentioned it yesterday. Nick Saban
- 36:48Speaker 4: was brilliant, brilliant.
- 36:50Speaker 9: Let's please make it just somebody wave a wand and go.
- 36:54Speaker 9: You're now the NCAA executive director, the head of football
- 36:57Speaker 9: that had a why don't.
- 36:59Speaker 4: We just take O Thomas's idea? Start treating the college
- 37:03Speaker 4: athlete like a professor. You know, he can stay as
- 37:06Speaker 4: long as you want. You know, you know what, you know,
- 37:08Speaker 4: realize how close you are to that. You I mean
- 37:10Speaker 4: you mentioned it like I know, but you realize how
- 37:13Speaker 4: close you are to being correct. Really, I mean I'm
- 37:18Speaker 4: fine with that. I mean, if a school has a
- 37:20Speaker 4: good quarterback and you know he's there, I mean, you
- 37:23Speaker 4: don't make the professor remarticulate. You know, you don't say
- 37:27Speaker 4: to a professor you only have so many years of
- 37:29Speaker 4: eligibility to teach politics at the University of Virginia. You know,
- 37:34Speaker 4: I know there are people who might vote for that,
- 37:36Speaker 4: but you know why, it's so okay.
- 37:39Speaker 9: Max Crosby gets a three year deal with the Ravens
- 37:41Speaker 9: Chandler Morris. It's a seven year deal with UVA.
- 37:44Speaker 4: But you know what, and then have club teams club
- 37:47Speaker 4: teams for the student athletes, and maybe you know and
- 37:50Speaker 4: then the neat story on ABC's college Football Game of
- 37:53Speaker 4: the Week is, oh, and look, here's a walk on
- 37:56Speaker 4: from the club football team. Who's now the kicker for UVA?
- 38:00Speaker 4: You know.
- 38:02Speaker 11: Hi?
- 38:02Speaker 23: It's Mark Falter, hosts of the Financial Fitness Show. I
- 38:05Speaker 23: strongly believe that no one should ever pay one penny
- 38:08Speaker 23: more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately, for
- 38:13Speaker 23: most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case. Why
- 38:17Speaker 23: because most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway
- 38:21Speaker 23: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less than taxes.
- 38:24Speaker 23: My Financial Fitness team has put together some materials that
- 38:27Speaker 23: I know are going to help you. It's the Tax
- 38:29Speaker 23: Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
- 38:35Speaker 23: top ten ways to pay less than taxes, and an
- 38:38Speaker 23: investor's guide to taxes. Now, how do you get it? Simple?
- 38:42Speaker 23: Eight six six seven six four two six three five
- 38:46Speaker 23: and eight sixty six seven six four two six three five.
- 38:52Speaker 23: I'm Mark Falter. This is Financial Fitness making personal finance profitable.
- 39:04Speaker 25: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
- 39:08Speaker 6: Yes?
- 39:09Speaker 25: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric

- 44:09Speaker 3: The First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by
- 44:15Speaker 3: Joe Thomas, doctor doctor News.
- 44:19Speaker 29: I got a.
- 44:22Speaker 4: You know, we were talking about Justin Thomas and his
- 44:26Speaker 4: back surgery coming back to the MAC. Was talking about
- 44:29Speaker 4: coming to the TPC trying to get back in the
- 44:31Speaker 4: golf game. I remember when I HEARDing it at my disc.
- 44:34Speaker 4: It was the eighties, which was like the Dark Ages.
- 44:37Speaker 4: Doctor Mark Frankel is out of Naples, Florida, where he
- 44:40Speaker 4: has got a brand new procedure called sem Life or
- 44:44Speaker 4: sem Lyft that's going to get rid of rods and
- 44:48Speaker 4: pins and all of that for spinal fusion surgery, which
- 44:53Speaker 4: is a huge deal. Doctor Frankel, I appreciate you taking
- 44:57Speaker 4: a couple of minutes out with us. So tell is
- 45:00Speaker 4: how we go about this breakthrough you made.
- 45:03Speaker 2: Yeah, so I lumbar spinal fusion. It's sort of a
- 45:06Speaker 2: two step procedure, a traditional one. So step one is
- 45:09Speaker 2: you put a spacer in the disk space, and that
- 45:12Speaker 2: spacer untinches the nerves, but it doesn't hold anything still.
- 45:16Speaker 2: And so step two is you make a big incision
- 45:18Speaker 2: and you put in screws and you connect them with rods,
- 45:21Speaker 2: and that holds everything still while the bone grows through
- 45:23Speaker 2: the spacer.
- 45:24Speaker 7: I invented something that I call a stem list stem
- 45:27Speaker 7: like cement, and so I do step one the same way.
- 45:31Speaker 7: I put a spacer in the disk space through a
- 45:33Speaker 7: small incision but then instead of making any real incision
- 45:36Speaker 7: on your back and cutting through any muscle, I just
- 45:39Speaker 7: cement the spacer in place.
- 45:41Speaker 4: Interesting, that's like, that's like home depot meets the hospital there.
- 45:47Speaker 4: That's what made you think of that. That's fascinating.
- 45:53Speaker 19: Yeah.
- 45:53Speaker 11: Thanks.
- 45:53Speaker 7: So I'm in Naples, Florida, where we have a lot
- 45:56Speaker 7: of osteoporotic bones because the average age here is higher,
- 46:00Speaker 7: and so for folks who get fractures in osteoporotic bone,
- 46:03Speaker 7: we commonly use this bone cement. And you know, we've
- 46:05Speaker 7: been using that stuff in human since the nineteen fifties
- 46:08Speaker 7: and it's safe, and it's very strong, and it's reliable.
- 46:13Speaker 7: And I've spent a long amount of time looking for
- 46:15Speaker 7: a way to get those spacers to stay in place
- 46:19Speaker 7: without having to having to kind of torture people with
- 46:22Speaker 7: these big incisions in their back. And after a lot
- 46:25Speaker 7: of kind of iterations and evolution, this is sort of
- 46:29Speaker 7: where we landed.
- 46:30Speaker 4: Is there a flexibility issue that is beyond what you
- 46:34Speaker 4: would have with the pins and screws.
- 46:38Speaker 7: That's a great question, and it gets sort of technical.
- 46:43Speaker 7: The answer is that the stiffness would be the same.
- 46:47Speaker 11: As a regular lumbar fusion.
- 46:49Speaker 7: Okay, but early data looks like that stiffness is going
- 46:53Speaker 7: to put less stress on the level above and below
- 46:56Speaker 7: compared to patients.
- 46:57Speaker 11: With rods and screws.
- 46:58Speaker 4: That's good.
- 46:59Speaker 11: And there's some other a data out there. Oh yeah,
- 47:01Speaker 11: there's some other data out there that sort of supports
- 47:03Speaker 11: that conclusion.
- 47:05Speaker 7: But hopefully what that means in the long term, and
- 47:07Speaker 7: what I've seen so far in my patients is that
- 47:09Speaker 7: you're less likely to develop a jacent segment disease and
- 47:12Speaker 7: need to go back for a vision surgery for that.
- 47:15Speaker 4: And that's what you've been seeing a lot is folks.
- 47:17Speaker 4: You know, if they get it in their fifties, then
- 47:19Speaker 4: by the time they're in their what is the shelf
- 47:22Speaker 4: life on this? I mean, how soon after somebody, let's
- 47:24Speaker 4: just say, as a lumbar fusion in the in their fifties,
- 47:31Speaker 4: how soon are they back with more problems? The what's
- 47:35Speaker 4: the aging on it?
- 47:36Speaker 11: Oh? Yeah, it varies wildly patient to patient.
- 47:40Speaker 7: I've seen folks come back thirty years later with no
- 47:43Speaker 7: issues at all, and I've seen patients come back three
- 47:45Speaker 7: or four months later and need a revision surgery.
- 47:48Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. So I guess that you know, we're
- 47:49Speaker 4: all different.
- 47:52Speaker 11: Yeah, it gets to be really unsatisfying.
- 47:55Speaker 7: And the unfortunate kind of truth that you learn is
- 47:58Speaker 7: that the traditional way of doing things is it's really
- 48:01Speaker 7: sort of not the most reliable surgery, and we kind
- 48:04Speaker 7: of all deserve to be doing better for our patients.
- 48:07Speaker 7: Is are better and we should be doing better for
- 48:09Speaker 7: our patients. And that's that's where the motivation for.
- 48:12Speaker 11: This really came from.
- 48:13Speaker 7: Is guy kind of sick of torturing people?
- 48:16Speaker 4: Where do people find out more about? Is sem lift.
- 48:21Speaker 7: Yeahem lift so sem like cement lifts, lumbar inner body
- 48:26Speaker 7: fusion so sem lift dot com, ce m l dot com.
- 48:30Speaker 11: Can you know the goal of the surgery is I'm sorry.
- 48:34Speaker 4: No, no, no, The goal of the surgery is, oh, yeah.
- 48:37Speaker 7: The goal of the surgery is it's like a more
- 48:40Speaker 7: minimally invasive approach to a lumbar fusion. If it doesn't
- 48:43Speaker 7: work for whatever reason, it doesn't burn any bridges and
- 48:47Speaker 7: so that the kind of bail out there would be
- 48:51Speaker 7: rods and screws, which if you're someone who already needs
- 48:53Speaker 7: a lumbar fusion, that's your only other option.
- 48:57Speaker 11: So trying this first doesn't burn any break I've done
- 49:01Speaker 11: about one hundred and thirty patients to date, and of
- 49:04Speaker 11: those one hundred and thirty, only two have gone on
- 49:07Speaker 11: to New Bronzing's crews so far.
- 49:08Speaker 4: That's a pretty good percentage. But I'm not with the FDA,
- 49:12Speaker 4: but I know people. But just you know, I'm that
- 49:17Speaker 4: guy at the cocktail party that any medical professional let
- 49:20Speaker 4: tries to avoid because I'm like, hey, doc, it hurts
- 49:22Speaker 4: when I but I'm going to ask you a question
- 49:25Speaker 4: that's tangential to it. I come to know, and I
- 49:31Speaker 4: was weird because I was just horribly inflexible as a kid.
- 49:34Speaker 4: So when I was when I HEARDing it in my disk,
- 49:37Speaker 4: I was twenty five, and which my orthopedis said, is unusual,
- 49:42Speaker 4: an unusual age. But as we age, as we live longer,
- 49:46Speaker 4: I mean I talk to insurance people who tell me
- 49:48Speaker 4: that they have actual arial tables that go out to
- 49:51Speaker 4: one hundred and thirty, one hundred and forty on that
- 49:54Speaker 4: possibility that we could live that long. As we live
- 49:57Speaker 4: longer as a rule, is this becoming more prevalent that
- 50:01Speaker 4: the back just I don't know whares out after a bit.
- 50:06Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I mean you know, you can kind of
- 50:09Speaker 7: think that the whole spine like like a car, and
- 50:12Speaker 7: by the time you get to sixty or seventy, it's
- 50:15Speaker 7: a car with hundreds of thousands of miles on it. Yeah,
- 50:18Speaker 7: you know, just kind of looking at an MRI a
- 50:20Speaker 7: quick glance, I can pretty roughly tell you within I
- 50:24Speaker 7: don't know, five or ten years, how old somebody is.
- 50:28Speaker 7: And so as you get older, you're certainly much more
- 50:30Speaker 7: likely to end up needing surgery or to have bad
- 50:34Speaker 7: problems if these degenerator changes really accumulate.
- 50:37Speaker 4: And not that I want you to cut into your
- 50:38Speaker 4: future business, but are there I mean, there's so many
- 50:41Speaker 4: ads about you know, this supplement, that supplement and it
- 50:45Speaker 4: helps this, and it helps that. Are there lifestyle things
- 50:48Speaker 4: that people can do to keep their discs that that
- 50:53Speaker 4: cartilage in between all of the because it seems to
- 50:57Speaker 4: me that's what brings somebody to your office stock. Is
- 51:01Speaker 4: that the cartilage you know, like in my case, herniate's
- 51:04Speaker 4: or just wears away. Are there things we can do
- 51:07Speaker 4: to keep that cartilage healthy?
- 51:11Speaker 11: You know, there's things we can avoid.
- 51:14Speaker 7: So any crazy stresses on the spine, deadlifting squat thrusts, you.
- 51:20Speaker 11: Know, the spine is not designed to.
- 51:22Speaker 7: Lift hundreds of extra pounds.
- 51:24Speaker 11: Things things like that are obvious no goes. Golf certainly, certainly.
- 51:28Speaker 7: Play to take this toll on the spine, but as
- 51:32Speaker 7: far as kind of things we can do to actively
- 51:36Speaker 7: decrease the likelihood of running into issues in the future,
- 51:39Speaker 7: that's a there's not a lot of things that fall
- 51:41Speaker 7: in that category unfortunately.
- 51:43Speaker 4: Okay, I was just saying, you know, that's not very
- 51:45Speaker 4: popular in Naples to tell people don't golf either, So.
- 51:51Speaker 11: Yes, that's that's good.
- 51:53Speaker 7: Part of my goal most of the time is how
- 51:55Speaker 7: quick can I get your back out there playing with
- 51:56Speaker 7: your friends.
- 51:57Speaker 4: You know, I'm sure that's just what the doctor wants
- 52:00Speaker 4: to hear. Yeah, that's very good. Well doctor Frankel again,
- 52:05Speaker 4: you know it's it's sem lift sem c E M
- 52:11Speaker 4: l I F dot com.
- 52:14Speaker 11: Yeah, that's right.
- 52:15Speaker 7: And if if your listeners go on there, there's a
- 52:18Speaker 7: little contact form they can fill out if they'd like
- 52:20Speaker 7: some more information or to see if they're a candidate.
- 52:24Speaker 7: A lot of folks who have already had a lumbar
- 52:26Speaker 7: fusion surgery recommended to them by a spine surgeon and.
- 52:29Speaker 11: End up being a candidate.
- 52:30Speaker 7: But it really is on a case by case stays it, well,
- 52:33Speaker 7: I appreciate it.
- 52:35Speaker 4: It sounds like I appreciate your time.
- 52:37Speaker 11: Thanks, thanks so much.
- 52:38Speaker 4: And you have a great day. And if you see
- 52:40Speaker 4: the doctor at home depot, he's just stocking up for
