"Marx Always Wins that One Last Election" (FTTxJT Wed 110426 hr3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I'm more mega now make America great again than I've
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: ever been.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Music Oh, bless you for letting us be of service
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: to you on this Ted's Day as you sit there
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: agape staring at your radio saying, seriously, Joe, did you
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: not look at the election results?
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, we have all the election results. You and I
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: are waking up in a world where 55% of Californians
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: voted against a millionaire or billionaire tax, but we couldn't
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: get Texans to show up to vote for a governor.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: And that's the narrative building. That's the narrative building. But
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: it also is the reason I get up in the
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: morning with a smile because when presented with realities like
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: what would happen if we created a billionaire's tax, people,
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: even Californians, get it. And we have to realize that
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: just calling somebody a crook for six months is And
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: then expecting everyone to put that aside and vote for
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: them in November is probably also a bad business model, Texas.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: And my favorite bit is we've got a Congress race
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: where the Democrat won't let go of the race, in
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: all irony, because in 2008 he won by going to
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: court to deny servicemen and women their vote count, and
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: now is insisting that all our servicemen and women get
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: their votes counted because he's behind this time, as if
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: somehow that's going to mean something to their voter turnout,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: barely scratching 50% nationwide. Some places a little higher. South
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Carolina was a little bit over 50%, 55%, 56%. But
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: even Texas, New York's pathetic. I think it's, you know, 42%,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: something like that in New York. You had a governor's race.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: And what you don't understand, we'll get back to Ken
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Cuccinelli from the election transparency initiative, is that, you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: that apathy will be used against you. That Ken Paxton
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: may not have been perfect, but he's going to be
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: a whole lot better senator than James Tallarico. And there
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: isn't lessons to be learned. Obamacare should be the reason.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: The widow of the UnitedHealthcare CEO can come talk to
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: you about what the apathy that allowed Obamacare to get
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: passed did to her family. How about that? How about
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: we have that? Oh, is that a little harsh? I'm sorry.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Rub some dirt on it. Get your helmet and get
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: back in the game. Got a lot to do.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: The U.S.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Government didn't give you your rights, but there are a
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: bunch of people who are about to get sworn into
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: office that think that's their job. As we said, there
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: were elections yesterday, Senate projections and majorities in both the
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: House and Senate with two Senate seats undecided. 54 Democrat
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: to 44 Republican. The two seats undecided were Republican seats. Alaska,
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: right now, where I believe it is less than 1%
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: separates Dan S. Sullivan from Mary Peltola. However, neither of
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: them is near 50%, so it will be going to
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: the next round of ranked choice voting for those keeping
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: score at home. The other Dan Sullivan, the one that
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: nobody has seen in Alaska since last week, pulled 1.7%
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: of the votes. If you do the math, that would
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: have put Dan S. Sullivan as a victory. In South Carolina,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Darlene Nardone, Nee Graham, lost the seat that her brother
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: had represented for decades to Andy Andrews by 5 percentage points.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Roy Cooper won by almost... 20 points over Michael Watley
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: in North Carolina. Susan Collins has been ousted from the
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Senate by Troy Jackson. Just amongst a few, and in
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: the gubernatorial races, we mentioned Texas, Gina Hingiosa, with a seven,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: almost eight-point victory. Keisha Lance Bottoms, with a nine-point victory
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: over Rick Jackson. Amy Acton in Ohio. 52% over Vivek
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Ramaswamy with 44%. But in California, Californians said, we don't
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: want a billionaire tax to the tune of 55-45. Those
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: are just a few of the things in Michigan. Democrat
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: wins in Michigan, film at 11. But in this case,
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: it was a Democrat like Abdul El-Sayed, who was in
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: a race with Mike Rogers, but still wound up winning
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: by eight percentage points on the first thing today.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co-host of Foster and Friends
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: famed lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: word win stood for what's important now. The Lunch Pail
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Defense Foundation realizes the importance of helping others. Our foundation
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: is a nonprofit corporation that helps fund academic scholarship for
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: eligible high school students. Since 2009, the Lunch Pail Defense
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: Foundation has raised nearly $ 400, 000 and awarded over four individual scholarships.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: We also support an organ transplant program in conjunction with
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Duke University Medical Center. For information regarding corporate sponsorship or

  Speaker 11: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 11: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 12: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 11: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 11: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 11: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 11: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 11: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 11: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 11: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 8:47
  Speaker 11: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52
  Speaker 11: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57
  Speaker 11: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.

  Speaker 13: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 13: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 13: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 13: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 13: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 13: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 13: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 13: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 13: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 13: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 13: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 13: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 13: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 14: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 14: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 14: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 14: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 14: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 14: who work.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Hard to provide for their young.
• 10:14
  Speaker 14: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 10:17
  Speaker 14: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 10:20
  Speaker 14: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 10:22
  Speaker 14: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
• 10:25
  Speaker 14: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs as our
• 10:28
  Speaker 14: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 10:32
  Speaker 14: they also perform life-saving work every day. Dogs keep us
• 10:35
  Speaker 14: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 10:37
  Speaker 14: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 10:41
  Speaker 14: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 10:44
  Speaker 14: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
• 10:46
  Speaker 14: and help those in need. So please join me and
• 10:49
  Speaker 14: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
• 10:52
  Speaker 14: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go
• 10:55
  Speaker 14: to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 15: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 15: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 11: Heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 15: Good thing is, he knows.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: When he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 15: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 15: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 12: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 16: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 17: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 17: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18

• 12:24
  Speaker 6: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 18: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 18: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 18: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 18: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:49
  Speaker 10: at maketheconnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
• 12:53
  Speaker 10: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
• 13:16
  Speaker 19: Nine most terrifying words in the English language are.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: I'm from the government and I'm.
• 13:21
  Speaker 14: Here to help.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: I get what you were doing there. You were trying
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: to stick a needle into me again. You forgot to
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: split them up there. That's right. But the I'm from
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: the government, I'm here to help party. That's the Republicans.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: I'm from the government and I'm here to help. That
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump wants to sit down with the Democrats and
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: work on deal making, working on legacy.
• 13:54
  Speaker 19: Maybe.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Building a party out of the folks in the middle.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Not left enough for AOC and Zorhan Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayed.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: And too far right for J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Ken Cuccinelli is on with us from the Election Transparency Initiative.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: And I know I promised you he's... He's been in
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: the Oak Ridge Boys since 1965. Let the brothers sleep
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: in a little bit. We're going to talk to the
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Oak Ridge Boys in a little bit, just kind of
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: shake off election night. And remember, there are things that
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: are eternal. As I said with our friends from jcsgold.com,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: it was the 87th Congress when they opened their doors.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: We're on the 119th or the waning hours. of it
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: since yesterday. And I appreciate Ken hanging on with us.
• 14:53
  Speaker 19: If only someone had told me this socialism thing doesn't
• 15:00
  Speaker 19: work really well. Oh, gosh, I would have done things differently.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: Where did my grandma go? But, you know, I'm serious.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: There's a heart attack, too, about this, because I think
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: that Luigi Mangione, who I normally don't name on the air,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: but I want to call him out for what he is.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: He's a murderer driven to it by Obamacare. He believed
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Obama when he said, you know, pass this and you'll
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: have health care. And then UnitedHealthcare said, well, no, you
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: have health care insurance that isn't going to cover your mom.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: And he lost his last good marble. And this is
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: what I don't believe they understand about it.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: His last good marble.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Well, it's– because I don't think you wake up in
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: the morning thinking, gee, I'm going to go on a
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: bloodthirsty murder spree. But at some point, you know– believing
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: these Democrat policies, El-Sayed and Gavin Newsom, because they're lawyers.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: They say things that we think they said, and they
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: didn't say it. And they can go and they'll go
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: to the transcript and say, you can't prove that I
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: said that. I said this, and this means that. It's
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Bill Clinton's, you don't know the definition of is, is.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: And I think the poor Americans are are going to
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: get revolutionary over it if, if they keep playing this
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: dangerous game.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:27
  Speaker 19: So that, that's, you know, always a possibility. The left
• 16:33
  Speaker 19: already has a violent wing Antifa. They're not just in
• 16:38
  Speaker 19: the United States. They're a terrorist group in France as well.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: We saw that.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: We saw that.
• 16:44
  Speaker 19: And, We saw the Democrats criticizing the police whenever those
• 16:48
  Speaker 19: conflicts arose in favor of the terrorists. And so, you know,
• 16:53
  Speaker 19: the elections yesterday in El Sayed, you know, don't kid yourself, America,
• 16:58
  Speaker 19: on what that means. By the way, I mentioned National
• 17:00
  Speaker 19: Popular Vote, but who wins or is likely to win
• 17:04
  Speaker 19: the Democrat nomination in 28, of course, shifted rather dramatically
• 17:08
  Speaker 19: to the left yesterday.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.
• 17:12
  Speaker 19: With El-Sayed winning, the socialist left is going to say,
• 17:19
  Speaker 19: it's our turn. We won a swing state. We can
• 17:23
  Speaker 19: win America. Get out of the way, establishment. And a
• 17:27
  Speaker 19: lot of the usual establishment restraints will be gone. So
• 17:32
  Speaker 19: I think it's too early to predict. But I would
• 17:37
  Speaker 19: be surprised if we have someone– Like a John Ossoff
• 17:43
  Speaker 19: or Josh Shapiro. First of all, they're Jewish. So there's
• 17:47
  Speaker 19: a huge swath of the Democrat Party that that is
• 17:50
  Speaker 19: anti-Semitic and hates them. But but but on the spectrum,
• 17:55
  Speaker 19: on the on the left, they're not all the way
• 17:58
  Speaker 19: out there with the AOCs and Mamdani's and El Sayeds.
• 18:01
  Speaker 19: And so I don't think they can win the nomination
• 18:05
  Speaker 19: for that reason.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: I said something earlier, Ken Cuccinelli, election transparency initiative. And
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: my gosh, you opened up a can of worms with
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: this idea of national popular vote that we hadn't even
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: gotten into. And, you know, I'm face palming in the morning.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: You know, I love that smell. But I have to
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: ask you this because you opened just this up and
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: we suggested it earlier that the Republican Party's worst nightmare
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: is Donald Trump sitting down with the centrist, the Josh
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Shapiro's of the Democrat Party and creating some, we're from
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: the government, we're here to help party, and leaving the
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: El Sayeds and the Rand Pauls on either side of
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: the road and creating some new third party out of the, quote,
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: the Chuck Schumers of the world and the John Shapiros
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: and saying, listen, guys, all's forgiven, come in here. I
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: know it sounds crazy, but couldn't that happen? I don't
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: think so.
• 19:10
  Speaker 19: I think what's more likely to happen is the president
• 19:14
  Speaker 19: will want to do deals and we'll start to see
• 19:18
  Speaker 19: some truly left-wing compromises like amnesty, for example. And You know,
• 19:28
  Speaker 19: we'll see what the future holds. But the president has
• 19:32
  Speaker 19: already tweeted out, you know, he's called the Democrat leadership
• 19:38
  Speaker 19: and said, look, I'm ready to work with you. But
• 19:40
  Speaker 19: he used the word deals. And, you know, that word
• 19:44
  Speaker 19: worries me when he's talking to Democrats.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I think that's the Republicans' worst nightmare. is,
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: you know, Hakeem Jeffries sitting down in the Oval Office saying,
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: here's our demands, Ken. Well, thank you for... Well, that's coming.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: That's coming.
• 20:04
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: I guess what happens next is our worst nightmare. Ken,
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: God bless you, sir. It's heritage.org and then the Election
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Transparency Initiative adjunct to that. And now how am I
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: going to get a nap? I've already only got three
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: hours sleep. I was going to take a nap after
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: the show. Now you got me thinking of the national
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: popular vote. Oh, I don't know.
• 20:25
  Speaker 19: Gives you something to nightmare about.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Exactly. Thank you, sir. You're welcome. All right. It's Halloween.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: It's a Halloween a week later with Ken Cuccinelli. God
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: bless you, sir, and have a great morning.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: All right. Talk to you, Joe.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: And find them at heritage.org. National, I hadn't even, oh
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: my gosh, you know, you're thinking of, you know, socialized medicine,
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: Medicare for all, and all these campaign, that's on their literature.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: And you forget that they've been trying to do this,
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: this national popular vote. Virginia just supported it. Now you've
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: got other states with Democrat leadership. What happens if Texas
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: signs on to the National Popular Vote Compact? Kansas. Some
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: of these places that had been cornerstones of the movement
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: against this kind of thing. We're talking here about repealing
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: the 1929 Permanent Reapportionment Act. They're talking about getting rid
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: of The state boundaries, for that matter. I mean, at
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: what point do you not need states anymore? And it's interesting.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: I'm going to bring up somebody. When Larry Sabato wrote
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: his book, The Case for a New Constitution, he said
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: our country was too big for one Congress. You needed
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: four Congresses regionally. Well, you're going to need that under
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: a national popular vote. Let's see.
• 22:01
  Speaker 21: If something costs less, but people are happier with it,
• 22:05
  Speaker 21: that sounds like something to look into. And that is MediShare.
• 22:08
  Speaker 21: Maybe you've heard switching to MediShare to pay for health
• 22:11
  Speaker 21: care can save many families up to 500 bucks a month.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: And that is huge.
• 22:15
  Speaker 21: But it's also true that people are way more satisfied
• 22:17
  Speaker 21: after making the switch to the member satisfaction rate for
• 22:21
  Speaker 21: MediShare is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Double.
• 22:25
  Speaker 21: MediShare works too. It's been around for 30 years. Members
• 22:28
  Speaker 21: have shared more than $ 5 billion of each other's bills.
• 22:31
  Speaker 21: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
• 22:35
  Speaker 21: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Like it better.
• 22:38

  Speaker 11: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 11: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 11: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 11: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:24
  Speaker 11: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 11: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 11: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation has antioxidant
• 24:38
  Speaker 11: properties and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or
• 24:43
  Speaker 11: at least slow the spread of cancer and in many
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells

• 25:56
  Speaker 23: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 24: And now a speech. I just want to say that
• 26:04
  Speaker 24: friendship is about heart.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 15: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
• 26:11
  Speaker 15: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
• 26:14
  Speaker 15: call me a ride. Love that guy.

• 26:26
  Speaker 6: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09

  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: And don't forget the bat scratch fever was a bio
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: weapon designed to attack Obamacare. Vaccine, and now I've got
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: some more. Bad scratch fever. Because the Wuhan Institute of Virology, yeah,
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: under the guise of protections in the Uniform Code of Conduct,
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: it doesn't make you dead. It makes you grievously ill.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: But it's a bioweapon designed around an economy that had
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: convinced its voters that that having health care insurance was
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: the same thing as having health care. And then the
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: insurance companies started watching all of us show up at
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: emergency rooms with COVID. And they went to the government
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: and said, please make this stop. We can't afford it.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: One of the earliest stories in COVID was what was
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: happening to the health care insurance company's stocks because they
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: were hemorrhaging, medical parlance intentional, money to pay people. whose
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: policy said they could go into the hospital for this illness.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: They were trying to find ways to make COVID outside
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: of the purview of health care insurance. They were trying
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: to come up with everything and anything. And that's where
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: vaccines come from. Because now if you get COVID, and
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: you haven't had the prescribed regimen of vaccines, they can
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: say no. Because that's what we did. And that's why
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: we said no ivermectin for you. Because if we said
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: ivermectin for you, the health insurance companies would have to
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: pay for the hospitalization stay. It isn't about the cost
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: of the ivermectin. That's $ 1. 380 to them. It's the hospitalization
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: stay that gets you to the ivermectin. It's the emergency
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: room visit that they have to pay for. Those were
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: the things that was bankrupting them when half the country
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: showed up at emergency rooms. The lies they tell us
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: and the fact that enough of us believe them. Andy
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: is on the line with us at 434-882-4217. Good morning, sir.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: How are you doing today?
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Doing great.
• 30:56
  Speaker 23: I set my alarm for 452 so I can catch
• 31:01
  Speaker 23: 100% of your show.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Well, I appreciate that, sir.
• 31:04
  Speaker 23: You know, having Cooch on is good. He's a good dude. Ethical, moral,
• 31:11
  Speaker 23: and he's seen both the best and the worst of government,
• 31:15
  Speaker 23: I'm sure.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Well, he ran AFL. Remember, when he ran for governor,
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: he offended the Republican Party establishment. It wasn't his turn.
• 31:26
  Speaker 23: And, you know, we also had the Chinese voting systems, too.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's a.
• 31:31
  Speaker 23: Stack deck against it. So anyway, getting rid of these
• 31:35
  Speaker 23: chemtrails is still a focus. We have gotten rid of
• 31:39
  Speaker 23: the Chinese voting systems, at least right here in Florida.
• 31:42
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: Which it seems like you did OK in the election.
• 31:47
  Speaker 23: You know, and I think DeSantis has left us with
• 31:52
  Speaker 23: the money follows the child. And these are all, you know,
• 31:56
  Speaker 23: just reasons for people to move to Florida. You know,
• 32:00
  Speaker 23: whether you're the great-grandparents of, like, 47 kids or you're
• 32:05
  Speaker 23: just wanting a place where, you know, you have the
• 32:10
  Speaker 23: free choice for, you know, things like education, not abortion
• 32:16
  Speaker 23: on demand.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: Well, it's good stuff.
• 32:19
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 32:21
  Speaker 23: And so just tell everybody to keep their chins up.
• 32:24
  Speaker 20: Oh, yeah.
• 32:25
  Speaker 23: I did miss my– I missed one shot out of
• 32:29
  Speaker 23: 25 at the NCAA basketball camp. And that was back
• 32:35
  Speaker 23: when Tommy Burleson was in the stands. We weren't playing
• 32:39
  Speaker 23: against him. But remember, that's Jordan's number two.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. That's true. That's true. Good to hear from you, Andy.
• 32:46
  Speaker 23: Yeah, you just keep– everybody just keep their chins up.
• 32:50
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 32:50
  Speaker 23: Return to– Institutional money and never on a payroll.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: And we have it written down, unlike other times when
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Liberty was one and nobody wrote down how we were
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: organizing it. We've written it down. So if we need,
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: we can grab it, go send somebody in and grab
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: the Constitution. We have enough printed versions of it. And
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: go find someplace else that wants it. I mean, if
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: the United States doesn't want it, I know there are
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: plenty of places that would. I used to think Texas
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: was one of them. But too many people from California
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: wound up moving in there, Andy. Good stuff, my friend.
• 33:25
  Speaker 23: You're totally right about that demographic shift out of California.
• 33:31
  Speaker 23: And so they really have California-ized all these things.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah. That Crockett lady's nuts.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Jasmine?
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know if she's still in.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: No, she's not. She's not nuts. Tallarico is more appropriate
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: for cocktail party usage than Jasmine is there.
• 33:49
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: There are legends that are legends because people say they're legends,
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: and then there are just legends that nobody has to
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: talk about. And the Oak Ridge boys are in the
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: latter category. And joining us is William Lee Golden. William,
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: is that okay? Bill, you tell me how you'd like
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: me to address you.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: Sir is fine.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, William Lee Golden here. Yeah. I sang baritone with
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: the Oak Ridge Boys. I'm a harmony singer, basically.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: Well, I.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: We're excited about this new album we got to talk
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: to you about here.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: What, after all these years, keeps you going in with
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: new material and wanting to do new projects?
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Well, it's the fact of just loving to sing and
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: loving to harmonize with the Oak Ridge Boys.
• 34:49
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: It's a thrill every day to get on stage. I mean,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: and every day, the older we get, the more we
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: realize just how special every situation is and every opportunity is.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Because life keeps slipping away. And in the past three years,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: we've lost two of our singing partners. Joe Monzo, he
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: suffered with ALS and was struggling for the last two
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: or three years. He was on the road with us.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: And we lost him three years ago. And then Richard Sturbin,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: our bass singer, it's almost two years ago that we,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: right after Joe passed, well, then Richard started coming down with,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: he'd come down with pancreatic cancer.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: That's a bad one.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. And so he's been struggling with that and
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: having to go through treatments for that for the past,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: year and a half now. And so he's not been
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: out with us, but we got these two young bass
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: singers that helped us last year and this year. And
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: so Aaron Lee McCune is our new bass singer. He's
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: one of the hottest young bass singers that I've ever heard.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: He was out singing with Bailey and Vincent. He'd been
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: helping With the Oak Ridge boys, when Richard stepped off
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: of a curb and tore his Achilles tendon, we called
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Aaron to come in and fill in for Richard.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: So he was familiar.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he knows all of our material and has known
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: it for years. And Richard had to miss a show
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: occasionally here and there for family reasons. And we would
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: always call Aaron Lee McCombs.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: You know, William Lee Golden on with us, and it
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: is the Oak Ridge Boys, and they've got a brand
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: new album out. And that's amazing to me. I mean,
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: since the beginnings of this group, still doing music and
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: putting it out there. And I wanted to play a
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: little of it, some of the things. And I think
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: this one, especially here, as we have a lot of folks,
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: struggling through a post-election scene, might want to hear a
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: little bit of the Oak Ridge Boys and one of
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: their new releases. It is called How Great Thou Art.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: O Lord, my.
• 37:23
  Speaker 27: God, When I in awesome wonder consider all the worlds
• 37:53
  Speaker 27: thy hands have made.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: Oh man, yeah, we need to hear this this morning.
• 38:01
  Speaker 15: In 2024. The American Heart Association celebrates 100 years of
• 38:05
  Speaker 15: life-saving service as the world's leading non-profit organization focused on
• 38:09
  Speaker 15: heart and brain health. Heart disease still kills more people
• 38:13
  Speaker 15: in the United States each year than all types of
• 38:15
  Speaker 15: cancer combined, but more than half of Americans are unaware
• 38:18
  Speaker 15: of this fact, according to a recent Harris Poll survey
• 38:21
  Speaker 15: conducted for the American Heart Association. However, the majority of
• 38:25
  Speaker 15: heart disease is preventable. New research has improved the prevention, diagnosis,
• 38:30
  Speaker 15: and treatment of heart disease and its risk factors. Efforts
• 38:33
  Speaker 15: led by the American Heart Association have reduced deaths from
• 38:36
  Speaker 15: heart disease by half over the past century and helped
• 38:39
  Speaker 15: people with heart disease live longer and more productive lives
• 38:42
  Speaker 15: while managing their condition and risk factors. To learn more

  Speaker 24: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 24: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them, nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 24: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:13
  Speaker 19: Oh, yes! Yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 8: Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 24: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:20
  Speaker 24: favorite form of ear candy.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, my.
• 40:24
  Speaker 24: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 16: Shh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 24: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:38
  Speaker 24: And with every item you buy, you fund local job
• 40:41
  Speaker 24: training and more.
• 40:43
  Speaker 7: So go forth.
• 40:45
  Speaker 24: Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home so much
• 40:49
  Speaker 24: good to your community.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: Goodwill.
• 40:54
  Speaker 24: Bring good home.
• 40:57
  Speaker 29: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 29: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 29: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 29: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 29: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 29: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 29: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 29: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 29: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 29: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41
  Speaker 25: Eat better.

  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: Thank you for joining us on this Ted's D morning show.
• 44:35
  Speaker 19: 434-882-4217.
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: That is our phone number. Wrapping up. I have to
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: sleep with the lights on after talking to Ken. Somebody's
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: going to be watching us. And, you know, it's funny
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: when they start to talk about all the things they
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: railed about, surveillance state and all that, and they start
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: to double down on it. This one coming in after
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: listening this morning text message, it finally hit me. It
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: took another 150 years, but the Confederacy may have won
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: in the end. I'm glad you got that because it's
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: something we point out quite frequently that all of these things,
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: the Permanent Reapportionment Act, the voting for senators, all of
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: these things were put in place by the Dixiecrats. And
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: they were allowed to happen by northern elites who wanted
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: to be seen in the Lincolnian sort of, oh, we're
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: reaching out and we're going to be a big tent,
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: big family again. So they appeased the southern Dixiecrats with
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: things like filibuster so that they could get their way
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: even if they didn't hold sway. It was all a game.
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: Many of the senators from the southern states had been
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: senators in the U.S. Senate before the Civil War. So
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: it was a lot of, hey, you remember me, I'm
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: your buddy. It's not a new Civil War we're heading towards.
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: It's the same one we had before. Some of the
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: roles are different. The permanent underclass of servants are slightly
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: less brown skinned. And we pay them a few shekels.
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: We don't have to house them, though. And they clean
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: up our dishes and they take care of our babies.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: But they're no better than the slaves were 150 years ago.
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: And that may wind up being how they, as Ken
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: pointed out, things like mass amnesty and things like that.
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: William Lee Golden, you know, there are few things in
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: the world that that are as timeless as Elvira, a
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: new record out. Some of the stuff is just incredible.
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: This one, you guys have a version of Lean On Me,
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: which I wanted to play. It's controversial. No, let's do
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: Lean On Me, and then we'll get back to William
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: Lee Golden, who's on the phone with us this morning.
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: This is the Oak Ridge Boys. and lean on me,
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: as only it could be done.
• 47:29
  Speaker 30: Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we all
• 47:38
  Speaker 30: have sorrow. But if we are wise, we know that.
• 47:48
  Speaker 8: There's always tomorrow.
• 47:56
  Speaker 16: When you're not strong and I'll be your friend, I'll
• 48:03
  Speaker 16: help you carry on.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: You feel somewhere, don't you?
• 48:09
  Speaker 16: It won't be long till I'm gonna need somebody to
• 48:17
  Speaker 16: lean on.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Lean on.
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: And, you know, William, you were talking about the young
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: kids who are coming in there and they're bass singing
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: and your admiration for them as well. Even, you know,
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: though it's part of one of the most seminal songs
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: in American history, really, Elvira. And, you know, even though
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: it's just one little tiny piece, of a whole body
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: of work. I appreciate you taking some time out with
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: us this morning.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: When the Oak Ridge Boys cut Elvira, our producer wanted
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: to make it different. He wanted it to be the
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: high lead singer and then to have the bass singer
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: do the step-out lines on the oom-pah-pah-mow-mow.
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: It's goosebumps every time I hear it. William Lee Golden
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: is on with us. Talk about the lead, I guess,
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: the lead track from the new album. It's called Live Forever.
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: Is there something autobiographical in it? Or I guess there
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: must be in everything you guys do. But certainly as
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: country music hall of famers that you are, it's pretty
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: well rest assured that the phrase Oak Ridge Boys will
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: live forever.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a song that Billy Joe Shaver wrote, thankfully,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: before he passed. But he and his son wrote this,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: and they're both gone now. But it's a great song.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: I've loved the song with Billy Joe Shaver singing it.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: When we got ready to do this, Dave Cobb is
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: our producer. Dave produces Chris Stapleton. And the Red Clay
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Strays and new groups that have went into all the awards.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: But this is the sixth album that Dave Cobb has
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: produced for the Oak Ridge Boys. And on this album,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: he got Anderson East to kind of help co-produce it.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: We recorded this in Anderson East's studio there in West Nashville.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: Anderson played on it and was in there running the board.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: We were all in one room recording. his studio is
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: where all the instruments were around in there. And he
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: had the mic set up with us and nice chairs
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: to sit there with the mic. But yeah, it was
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: a mostly relaxed recording that we've done. Wow. And we
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: wanted to go back and we did a couple of
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: great old classic gospel songs, How Great Thou Art.
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: I think those will be important. I think they'll be
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: really important to people.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: And then we did, Dave Cobb wanted me to sing
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: Bridge Over Troubled Water. And you got Dwayne Allen to
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: sing Stardust. You got Ben James, young Ben James, singing
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: You Are So Beautiful. And Ben also sang Lean On Me,
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: our young tenor singer. But These young guys, it's been
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: so exciting to get out and tour with now. They
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: make us forget how old we are.
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: And to the tour begins Oak Ridge Boys. On tour,
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: William Lee Golden. And look for them. They're all over
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: the place. This is that cut. Live forever before we've
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: got to go here this morning.
• 52:00
  Speaker 20: I'm gonna live forever I'm gonna cross that river I'm
• 52:06
  Speaker 20: gonna catch tomorrow now You're gonna wanna hold me Just
• 52:14
  Speaker 20: like I've always told you You're gonna miss me when
• 52:19
  Speaker 20: I'm gone Nobody here will ever find me.
• 52:28
  Speaker 10: I will always be around.
• 52:33
  Speaker 20: Just like the songs I leave behind me.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: I'm going to live forever now.
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, isn't that a beautiful thought? Anyway, William Lee, thank
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: you so much. Oak Ridge Boys.
• 52:51
  Speaker 15: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  Speaker 15: compression of spinal nerves, according to Dr. Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  Speaker 15: California-based chiropractor with more than 30 years of experience. This
• 53:01
  Speaker 15: compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury, or
• 53:05
  Speaker 15: simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:09
  Speaker 15: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:12
  Speaker 15: the neck and back, Dr. Fisher explains. His inventions, the
• 53:16
  Speaker 15: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device,
• 53:20
  Speaker 15: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:24
  Speaker 15: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction Devices are
• 53:27
  Speaker 15: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:30
  Speaker 15: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:33
  Speaker 15: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:36
  Speaker 15: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home.
• 53:38
  Speaker 7: And Dr.
• 53:39
