"The Rackets" (Thursday October 16, 2025, Hour 3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Absolutely quick for you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: George said, steal me stem you have a day at
• 0:11
  least for work when the sun comes up, drops a pet.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: To scoom nay, Joe has.
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: Everything a gender.
• 0:19
  Speaker 5: I'll the chooses set needs no one that Joe's as smile,
• 0:24
  he only as peg.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: Let it be, Joe, thank you for letting us be
• 0:31
  of service to you this morning.
• 0:33
  Speaker 6: I want to be.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: Asking there you are in the amplitude modulation or the
• 0:38
  frequency modulation. However you do it, maybe you roll in
• 0:42
  stereo or HD four three four eight eight two four
• 0:47
  two one seven. We are HD Radio in the morning,
• 0:51
  the number one morning talk radio show based in Virginia
• 0:57
  on your radio is the statisticians always like to come
• 1:02
  up with ways that you can say you're going number one,
• 1:05
  because you never want to say you're going number two
• 1:07
  or that your show is number two, although there are
• 1:10
  plenty of people who will say that to you. We've
• 1:12
  got folks lining up want to get into both the
• 1:15
  J six stuff they exposed a John Solomon put together,
• 1:20
  as well as the admission now that they're back to
• 1:23
  talking about shutdown, that it's about the Obamacare subsidies and
• 1:27
  the collapsing American medical experiment. But first our first things,
• 1:33
  let's get these done so that you know what we're
• 1:36
  talking about. Senate Majority Leader John Thune is going to
• 1:39
  try to force Democrats into a vote on reopening what
• 1:43
  remains of the government on the Senate floor today by
• 1:46
  proposing a full year Pentagon funding bill. Virginia Senator Tim
• 1:51
  Kaine admits that it is all about the Obamacare subsidies
• 1:57
  and some assurances from President Trump.
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: People's healthcare premiums don't spike dramatically, which they are set
• 2:04
  to do by year end in Virginia and elsewhere. And second,
• 2:08
  we just want an agreement from the President that a
• 2:10
  deal is a deal. If we shake hands on a deal,
• 2:13
  that this is going to be government funding, you won't
• 2:16
  unilaterally cancel it next week.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: You gov at the behest of the economists did a
• 2:22
  poll of Americans that shows fewer people blame Republicans and
• 2:27
  more blame the Democrats for the shutdown, though the majorities
• 2:31
  still say the President and Republicans are to blame. Thirty
• 2:34
  nine percent to thirty three percent that blame the Democrats.
• 2:39
  The other twenty six or odd percent didn't notice the
• 2:43
  government was shut down anyway, one presumes, and the administration
• 2:47
  is going to withhold forty million dollars from California because
• 2:50
  it refuses to force CDL drivers to prove that they
• 2:55
  can speak the language of the country. And those are
• 2:59
  our first things that morning at four three four eight
• 3:02
  eight two four two one seven, doctor Clark hanging on
• 3:05
  the line with us, I had asked the question Kamala
• 3:08
  Harris weighing in And for those joining us in progress,
• 3:12
  here's the clip we have of Kamala Harris right before
• 3:15
  she says the dirty words, where she uh just goes
• 3:21
  goes profane on. Robert F. Kennedy Junior says, he beeped up.
• 3:25
  Speaker 8: And I can't laugh at it because like so many
• 3:30
  of you who have known people who suffer because of
• 3:36
  unknown diseases or cancers for which there are no cures
• 3:42
  or there is the beginning of, but more work that
• 3:44
  needs to be done for the cure.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: And I mused, I said, I just I wonder what
• 3:49
  it's like to be one of Kamala Harris's thoughts there
• 3:52
  in the dark forest trying to find its way to
• 3:55
  the road to hitch a ride back home. There because
• 3:59
  it's got to be a only and daunting feeling. Doctor Clark,
• 4:02
  you have some insight on how those thoughts make it
• 4:05
  out of the dark forest of Kamala Harris's frontal cortex.
• 4:10
  Speaker 9: So every several years we'll get a story about how
• 4:16
  a toddler has wandered out of the house and gotten
• 4:20
  lost in the woods. Yeah, and they'll spend days lost
• 4:26
  in the woods until finally a search party finds them.
• 4:31
  And think about how that child feels cold, tired, lonely,
• 4:37
  and afraid. That's a thought wandering through Kamala Harris's mind.
• 4:49
  Speaker 10: Doesn't know how it got there. It doesn't know where
• 4:52
  to go, It doesn't know what it's going to do.
• 4:57
  It just knows it's cold, tired, lonely, and afraid.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: I almost want to send Jim cavizl in to rescue it,
• 5:06
  don't you.
• 5:07
  Speaker 10: Oh my goodness, there you go, somebody, for goodness sake,
• 5:11
  somebody go help that thought.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: That's right, give it a ride home. Oh my goodness,
• 5:17
  doctor Clark. You know, But am I wrong?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Though?
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: And Tom Hartzell, former police chief out this way, was
• 5:26
  the one who reminded me that back in twenty ten,
• 5:29
  we were prognosticating we were predicting that Obamacare's whole mission
• 5:35
  was to crash the American marketplace healthcare system, leaving us
• 5:39
  no option but national Health Service. And it seems like
• 5:44
  here we are.
• 5:46
  Speaker 9: Let's think about it a minute, Joe.
• 5:49
  Speaker 11: Education.
• 5:50
  Speaker 9: That'd be a good thing to control if you want
• 5:52
  to control people. Yeah, food supply, Hey, control the supply
• 5:57
  of food.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: You need control people pretty easily.
• 6:00
  Speaker 9: Supply. That's important. To control media. Yeah, hey, what if
• 6:05
  we could just like embed government people in the in
• 6:09
  the newsrooms to make sure they get the story right.
• 6:11
  Speaker 10: That'd be even better.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Well, now, Denver Rigglemann told us that they don't even
• 6:15
  need to do that. They've got our metadata. They they
• 6:18
  can just surveil us and you know, and shut down
• 6:21
  the ones that are searching the wrong places. There you go.
• 6:25
  Speaker 9: Housing, you know, it'd be very nice if we could
• 6:28
  control the housing to control people, determine who gets to live.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Where or if you get a place to live. And healthcare, hmm, if.
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: The government could only be the arbiter of who gets
• 6:43
  what care, that would be a better way to control people.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Well, it sure would would. It sure would scare us
• 6:49
  into hanging under that thought of a second, It sure
• 6:51
  would scare us into doing what they wanted to, and
• 6:54
  I think the gateway drug for this, that first opioid
• 6:59
  is the subset.

  Speaker 16: You were strolling along in goodwill. When just past that
• 9:05
  mid century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them
• 9:08
  nestled in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.

  Speaker 18: Exercise is hard, so is me. Maintaining a healthy diet.
• 10:02
  Of course, neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly,
• 10:07
  type two diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a
• 10:10
  million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths
• 10:14
  are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
• 10:19
  healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about
• 10:23
  your risk for type two diabetes and heart disease, and
• 10:26
  if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The
• 10:31
  reason so many die is because not enough are willing
• 10:34
  to change. You can stop it starting right now. It's
• 10:38
  your life. Listen to your doctor, eat better, get moving,

  Speaker 1: Amaze your friends here in the first thing today by
• 13:20
  Joe Thomas.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: They call me anytime. Really don't know about that one, control, coercion, manipulation,
• 13:41
  and all these things that stand in the way of liberty.
• 13:45
  And you say, well, Joe, you can't just do whatever
• 13:49
  you want. And here was the brilliance of the Enlightenment
• 13:53
  was that they understood that if you created a system
• 13:56
  where you could do as you see fit to take
• 13:59
  care of you and your family, as long as it
• 14:02
  didn't impede somebody else's ability to do as they see
• 14:05
  fit and take care of their family, the society can function.
• 14:10
  And that you would choose of your own volition to
• 14:15
  associate with those you wish to help, work with, work for.
• 14:25
  But that's not sufficient for the technocrat. Technocrat for generations
• 14:32
  has grown into the idea that they have studied all
• 14:36
  this stuff so thoroughly that you cannot be trusted to
• 14:41
  take care of your own affairs. You're just going to
• 14:44
  make abolics of it all. So they have to come
• 14:51
  up with programs and then if you say, well, hold on,
• 14:53
  I don't want to do that, they come up with
• 14:56
  constitutional ways to do it. And most of it involves subsidy.
• 15:06
  You don't want to do that, but what if we
• 15:07
  pay for it? And one of our favorite characters on
• 15:17
  our little morning sitcom here is Eric Hoffer, the philosopher
• 15:22
  of the sociologists that observed that humanities cycle through the
• 15:29
  institutions generally goes need, creative idea to address the need.
• 15:37
  Movement in order to get that need met, business now
• 15:44
  established to meet that need, and racket now to sustain
• 15:49
  the business more than those who needed the service. And
• 15:54
  we do it time and time and time again. So
• 15:57
  this whole brinksmanship for the government shutdown and the Obamacare subsidy,
• 16:04
  it's just the most recent one.
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: It's people's healthcare premiums don't spike dramatically, which they are
• 16:09
  set to do by year end.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: And it's a Virginia Senator Tim Kaine admitting it. They
• 16:16
  set up a scenario where they were paying for stuff
• 16:19
  that they wanted you to do. Why did they want
• 16:22
  you to do it? Because insurance companies were getting weary
• 16:26
  of all the payouts and they started subsidizing COVID, especially
• 16:30
  because now we had been attacked by this bioweapon, and
• 16:34
  insurance companies were getting hammered with all this requests insurance
• 16:39
  and the cities to the hospitals for treating COVID patients
• 16:50
  because they didn't want to. They didn't want to. It
• 16:53
  was becoming too expensive, prohibitively expensive. And that's why I
• 17:04
  warned that Obamacare was doomed to crash the healthcare system,
• 17:08
  the marketplace healthcare system where somebody says, you know what,
• 17:12
  I want to be a doctor. I want to heal people.
• 17:14
  I want to give them readily available medicines and medications
• 17:17
  and treatments so that they can become well again if
• 17:20
  they become afflicted with some disease. It's a pretty simple ecology.
• 17:27
  And that's part of the problem that I have with
• 17:28
  this is I'm just the nimrod who went to New
• 17:31
  York City public schools during the bankruptcy years of the seventies,
• 17:37
  and I see this, you see it. But these multiple
• 17:43
  degree holding post hole diggers are out there pretending like
• 17:49
  they have no idea. Really, I had no idea this
• 17:53
  was going on. Shocked, shocked they are to hear. And
• 18:01
  so in order to where the Constitution doesn't provide authority
• 18:08
  to make you do something, they will subsidize it. And
• 18:16
  I warned of this Max coming up in a little
• 18:18
  bit with his sports notebook. Wednesdays are always kind of
• 18:23
  Wednesdays and Thursdays, this midweek period where it's press conferences
• 18:27
  and injury reports and who's the next coach of what.
• 18:32
  But we've talked about this in the past well, all
• 18:34
  this name image likeness stuff going on in college campuses
• 18:38
  athletically at the point the advertising revenue that's supporting these
• 18:48
  name image likeness deals is going to go away, and
• 18:51
  they're going to go to the government. Universities like Oregon
• 18:55
  and Virginia and Southern California will go to their governors
• 18:59
  and they'll say, you need to help us out because
• 19:03
  we have no money except for our endowment, but that's
• 19:06
  for other things. Don't look at our endowment. And we're
• 19:14
  going to wind up bailing out all these big universities
• 19:17
  because they've got athletic bills. And is somebody going to
• 19:21
  have the guts to say no. Past history indicates the
• 19:25
  answer is no, they're not. They're going to say, I
• 19:28
  went to the school and it was so important that
• 19:30
  our football team was so good on TV, and we
• 19:34
  need to keep that going because that's America. We're selling
• 19:41
  ourselves out to the trappings of America rather than the
• 19:45
  things that created those trappings. Where the American government, like
• 19:52
  the Grange, is trying to steal Christmas because it believes
• 19:56
  Christmas is the babbles and Bengals and barrels of who
• 20:01
  hash rather than the spirit of liberty and love and
• 20:06
  self determination, and damn them for it. They believe they're
• 20:13
  doing kindness. I've told you about this documentary before, and
• 20:16
  I'm going to tell you again. Dang it. It's a
• 20:20
  documentary called Poverty Ink. The poster for it has a
• 20:28
  shipping container falling on the falling from the sky on someone.
• 20:38
  And I've taught to the filmmakers they was sought out
• 20:41
  to show all the great things about all these global agendas,
• 20:46
  all these global initiatives to end hunger, end poverty and
• 20:50
  starvation and health deserts, you name it, only to get
• 20:57
  a quarter of the way into filming when they realized
• 20:59
  what they were running into, time and time again is
• 21:02
  people whose lives had been made worse by the aid industry.
• 21:08
  Big aid is what they called it in the movie.
• 21:11
  It's a great movie, but this is what Hoffer talks about.
• 21:14
  The movement has become a racket, and a racket means
• 21:18
  we need to we need to figure out a way
• 21:20
  to keep the business going rather than care for the customers.
• 21:25
  The operation of the business is more important than the
• 21:29
  customers that the business is there to serve. And Democrats
• 21:34
  are particularly guilty of this because they many of them anyway.
• 21:38
  The aocs believe you start a business because they never
• 21:42
  have in order to create jobs. It's not why you
• 21:46
  create a business. That's a side effect of creating a business.
• 21:49
  You create a business to serve a need a government
• 21:54
  lifelong government office holders have no clue what that means.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Let's see, if something costs less but people are happier
• 22:05
  with it, that sounds like something to look into, and
• 22:07
  that is meta share. Maybe you've heard switching to metas
• 22:10
  share to pay for healthcare can save many families up
• 22:13
  to five hundred bucks a month, and that is huge.
• 22:15
  But it's also true that people are way more satisfied
• 22:18
  after making the switch too. The members satisfaction rate for
• 22:21
  meta share is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Double.
• 22:26

• 28:56
  Speaker 22: That.
• 28:57
  Speaker 11: Yesterday we were talking about the non disclosure thing and uh,
• 29:02
  Bud Foster and I recorded Foster and Friends for this weekend,
• 29:04
  which is pretty good. And uh spend a lot of
• 29:08
  time on the committee. And but I, I asked, But
• 29:10
  I said, so when is the committee getting together?
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: He goes, I don't know.
• 29:15
  Speaker 11: I go, okay, so you're starting the non disclosure like
• 29:18
  not even telling me when the committee is meeting?
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: Right, So he did slowly let me.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Know a couple of things.
• 29:23
  Speaker 11: But yeah, but I told but that I would of
• 29:25
  course honor the n d A.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: And that's that's what you know.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: It would be a funny bit to do. Just say
• 29:32
  here were you know, you remember those mister Jaws music
• 29:35
  are like, yeahs are and their little song clips or whatever.
• 29:39
  Just you know, so uh so, bud, So what's the committee?
• 29:42
  Speaker 19: Like?
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Who else is on it? And then crickets? The sound
• 29:45
  of crickets? Okay, how about this one? You know, just
• 29:49
  do like five minutes.
• 29:50
  Speaker 11: Who's on who's on your list?
• 29:52
  Speaker 16: You know?
• 29:53
  Speaker 11: Uh? And I told him I would honor.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: Uh, I don't honor everything, you know.
• 29:58
  Speaker 11: And there's so many things I could tell you that
• 30:00
  he told me that I get, you know, I just
• 30:02
  don't want to get it.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: Welcome to my world, Welcome to my world. I got
• 30:05
  people texting me background on stories and they're like.
• 30:08
  Speaker 11: But you can't say anything. You can't say that's right.
• 30:10
  But I thought i'd let you in on you didn't
• 30:12
  get that story. Yeah, one story I can't talk about.
• 30:15
  Fifty six year old Terry Smith is not a household
• 30:18
  name except in Happy Valley. Of course, he's the new
• 30:21
  interim coach for the Nitney Lions, not even being mentioned
• 30:23
  as a possible candidate for the head coaching job. This week,
• 30:27
  Penn State will play Iowa. Now, Terry Smith was fired
• 30:29
  as a high school assistant coach. He knows the drill
• 30:32
  from his days at Hempfield High School. He coached at
• 30:35
  Ducane before moving to Gateway. These are all names that
• 30:38
  Joe knows. Of course, he has been on the Nitney
• 30:40
  Lions staff since twenty fourteen. Now, this week has been
• 30:43
  about circling the wagons all right, lifting spirits, managing the process.
• 30:49
  I just love saying those three words. Terry Smith was
• 30:51
  brutally honest with the media yesterday saying, yeah, this is
• 30:55
  this has been a gut check with our guys, not
• 30:58
  so much about football, but about he goes the.
• 31:00
  Speaker 26: Most important thing that the messages that I've gotten all
• 31:04
  week is take care of the guys in the locker room.
• 31:06
  You gotta win them back, you gotta you know, pick
• 31:09
  their spirits up. And you know, it's so much more
• 31:12
  than just the game. You know, like, yeah, we got
• 31:15
  to prepare for Iowa, but I have to get these
• 31:18
  guys emotionally ready to go play.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: A football game.
• 31:21
  Speaker 11: Yeah, he said, just been in meetings all week, you know,
• 31:24
  doing doing the other thing. And he told his team, look,
• 31:27
  in this sport, it's okay to punish the guy across
• 31:30
  from you.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Go ahead and unleash the lion.
• 31:33
  Speaker 11: He didn't say that I did because Pearl Jim I
• 31:36
  just had to, you know, Yeah, Jam references.
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I know.
• 31:39
  Speaker 11: At least anyway, The New York Next thought that their
• 31:43
  roster was set and then former UVA player Malcolm Brognan
• 31:48
  was a piece to their puzzle to become the another
• 31:51
  sixth man on an NBA roster. Well, Malcolm retired yesterday.
• 31:55
  He was the thirty sixth pick overall in twenty sixteen.
• 31:59
  The Atlanta Navy had a stellar career in Charlottesville. Twenty
• 32:03
  sixteen ACC Player of the Year, three time first Team
• 32:06
  All Conference, two time Defensive Player of the Year, and
• 32:10
  his number fifteen was retired by the Wahoos. He started
• 32:13
  one hundred and nine of the one hundred thirty four
• 32:15
  games that he appeared in in the orangin Blue. In
• 32:17
  his final year at UVA, he averaged eighteen a game
• 32:20
  with thirty seven straight starts. Now I tell you that
• 32:23
  to tell you this. In the NBA he logged four
• 32:26
  hundred and sixty three games over his nine years. He
• 32:30
  started only two ninety six. But you know what, it
• 32:33
  was never about ego with Malcolm Brognen. It was always
• 32:36
  about the team and being unselfish. That's why I tied
• 32:39
  Terry Smith and Brogden together today. His best year came
• 32:43
  in twenty twenty one with the Pacers, when he averaged
• 32:46
  twenty one a game and started all fifty six games
• 32:49
  he played in. In twenty eighteen nineteen, he started the
• 32:53
  sixty four games he played in with the Bucks. Anyway,
• 32:56
  former Cavalier Malcolm Brognen he stunned the Knicks because in
• 32:59
  all these time, you know, the talking kid said, well,
• 33:01
  you know what's happening. Well, he just said, that's it.
• 33:05
  I'm going to retire. He hasn't held a formal press
• 33:08
  conference yet, but he knew at an early age it
• 33:11
  was all it was going to be all be all
• 33:12
  about the ego if you wanted to be sixth Man
• 33:15
  of the Year in the NBA, just being.
• 33:18
  Speaker 27: Being aggressive, all of this, you know in between the
• 33:20
  lines as a mindset, and for me, it's about keeping
• 33:22
  my mind right, staying positive. You know, coming off the bench,
• 33:25
  it can be a challenge sometimes to be honest, having
• 33:27
  a career where you start your whole career, then you
• 33:29
  come off the bench. There nights where you got to
• 33:32
  suck it up and you're not going to score as
• 33:34
  much or you're not going to play as much. But
• 33:36
  that's what you know, I think makes a great team
• 33:38
  having guys that are able to do that, guys that
• 33:40
  are able to sacrifice, because it's not me sacrificing every
• 33:42
  night every night. It's a different guy.
• 33:44
  Speaker 11: This was a team guy and certainly will be embraced
• 33:47
  by the Ryan Odoms staff in Charlottesvield.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: Well now the former you know, he was the.
• 33:52
  Speaker 11: Twenty sixteen ACC Player of the Years I told you.
• 33:55
  Drafted by the Bucks, he was in the round two,
• 33:58
  thirty sixth overall. He had a cup of coffee with
• 34:01
  the Wizards, signed a one year deal with the Knicks.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: Was important.
• 34:04
  Speaker 11: So he had five NBA teams in nine NBA seasons.
• 34:09
  So and uh, you know, anyway, he was Rookie of
• 34:11
  the Year in twenty seventeen, sixth.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Man of the Year.
• 34:14
  Speaker 11: Only two NBA players have been have won both those
• 34:19
  awards and Macolm Brogden.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: I always remember the Bucks GM at the time saying,
• 34:24
  you know, drafting him was like drafting a five year veteran.
• 34:27
  He was like better than some because because he had
• 34:29
  one of the four year starter at UVA. But I
• 34:32
  mean Tony Bennett's system of lockdown defense. I mean that's
• 34:36
  that's why when he won Defensive Player of the Year.
• 34:38
  Speaker 11: I mean it was like, yeah, dull, Yeah, absolutely, it
• 34:41
  was a lock So I think, you know, and you wonder.
• 34:45
  You know, sometimes your body talks to you. Other times
• 34:48
  you're just not You're just not in it. Uh maybe
• 34:51
  New York didn't feel good. You never know, and he
• 34:53
  may you know later on hold an official press comments
• 34:56
  or talk to people on why you know, there'll be
• 34:58
  a lot of talk shows and people, you know, I
• 35:00
  wouldn't be surprised. Ticky Barber, who's still doing you know,
• 35:02
  the fan We'll grab Malcolm Brogden too.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: It kevlar and I'm a kid from New York and
• 35:09
  I remember I think it was the University of Virginia
• 35:12
  baseball team's first trip to Omaha and the College World
• 35:17
  Series and my best friend in the world called me
• 35:20
  middle of the week, He's like, hey, I didn't know
• 35:23
  college had baseball teams and they had their own World Series.
• 35:26
  I said, what do you mean? He said, Oh, you
• 35:28
  were in this pub in Brooklyn and this team was
• 35:31
  on and it said Virginia on their shirts. And I
• 35:34
  had no idea what league is this? And they said,
• 35:37
  it's the College World Series. Because and I did some
• 35:41
  statistical now says the largest population of University of Virginia
• 35:46
  alumni or in New York City. I guess the law
• 35:49
  school feeds that a little bit. So I figured he
• 35:52
  would have been a huge star in New York with
• 35:54
  all those UVA fans unless they forgot that he played
• 35:57
  there or something.
• 35:58
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 35:58
  Speaker 11: No, he did released brogue. That did release the statement,
• 36:01
  of course, and you know, why not use social media?
• 36:04
  He said, Uh, I officially begin my transition out of
• 36:07
  the game of basketball. I have proudly given my mind, body,
• 36:11
  and spirit to the game in the last few decades
• 36:13
  with the mini sacrifices it took, I have received so
• 36:16
  many awards. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
• 36:18
  to all who have helped me with a place.
• 36:20
  Speaker 27: In my journey.
• 36:21
  Speaker 11: So anyway, he did, you know, he did, you know,
• 36:23
  go with the statement and and uh and stand up
• 36:25
  and do that so well tonight the uh and I've
• 36:28
  been mentioning it in our headlines and stuff. The Icy
• 36:30
  Hot Bowl with Flacco and Aaron Rodgers, uh uh with
• 36:35
  the lineman Cam Crawford. He's the one who stepped forward
• 36:38
  and said, hey, this is the Icy Hot Bull. And
• 36:41
  and the memes and the social media have been great
• 36:44
  with this, you know, everything from uh you know, uh
• 36:48
  South Park to the old guys on the bench and
• 36:51
  and uh, the Simpsons and I mean it's so.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: I'm sure the Muppets. The two guys were Waldorf and
• 36:57
  Storia or whatever his name was.
• 36:59
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it's been great, it's been great. So Uh anyway,
• 37:03
  they're they're gonna play tonight. So that is the uh
• 37:05
  the game, and of course they get they get turned
• 37:08
  off for the weekend.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: I don't think they've faced each other all that. Obviously,
• 37:11
  quarterback doesn't play quarterback. But because Flacco was and they
• 37:15
  mentioned how how many different teams think you maybe have
• 37:19
  mentioned it? How many his career has been all in
• 37:21
  this AFC North between Baltimore and Cleveland and now Cincinnati.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Uh and uh and uh.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: But Rogers being in the NFC. I don't know how
• 37:31
  many times these two guys faced each other. Yeah, you
• 37:34
  know what, that's a good quest. I'm sorry I didn't
• 37:35
  look that up. I'm sure the numbers are very big,
• 37:38
  you know.
• 37:38
  Speaker 11: Yeah, but uh no, anyway, I'll mention that tomorrow, so
• 37:43
  I'll do my homework. Thank you, professor. Uh but that's
• 37:47
  you know, normally those are questions I asked myself. But
• 37:49
  you're right, I didn't nowhere did I you know, did
• 37:52
  I read that? But it's a big val agree game too,
• 37:54
  So you have a terrific Thursday.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: I'll see you tomorrow morning, bright and early.

  Speaker 28: In twenty twenty four, the American Heart Association celebrates one
• 38:05
  hundred years of life saving service as the world's leading
• 38:08
  nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health. Heart disease
• 38:12
  still kills more people in the United States each year
• 38:15
  than all types of cancer combined, but more than half
• 38:17
  of Americans are unaware of this fact, according to a
• 38:20
  recent Harris Pole survey conducted for the American Heart Association. However,
• 38:25
  the majority of heart disease is preventable. New research has
• 38:28
  improved the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease and
• 38:32
  its risk factors. Efforts led by the American Heart Association
• 38:35
  have reduced deaths from heart disease by half over the
• 38:38
  past century and helped people with heart disease live longer
• 38:41
  and more productive lives while managing their condition and risk factors.

  Speaker 29: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine preventable diseases
• 40:37
  than from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
• 40:42
  the one for newmic coccle disease can protect adults from
• 40:44
  illnesses that can cause mistays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:50
  New macccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  of an infection that can spread from person to person.

  Speaker 4: So John's Sloman reported yesterday just thenews dot com, and
• 44:52
  it's sort of goodness. This guy brothers should be the
• 44:56
  director of the FBI or or maybe attorney general. Maybe
• 45:02
  you know, maybe Cash can be attorney general and John
• 45:06
  Solomon can be the director of the FBI. Because they
• 45:09
  caught out through their investigation an old friend who had
• 45:16
  at one point been you know, part of us. And then,
• 45:19
  like so many of Batman's villains turned into a life
• 45:24
  of daring crime against the Cape Crusaders. The rig'lar Denver
• 45:31
  Wriggleman caught on his own braggadocia bragging about all the
• 45:41
  stuff he did for the January sixth Commission, including telling
• 45:46
  them who and how to write the subpoenas for the
• 45:50
  information that they had already. And that becomes the problem
• 45:55
  is is how would Denver Riggleman, According to the John
• 45:58
  Solomon piece, how would Denver Riggleman know the specifics of
• 46:04
  how a subpoena should be written to then allow for
• 46:09
  the data that they had already collected to be entered
• 46:13
  as evidence. And this is something that Kinsinger, according to
• 46:18
  the report, is part of as well, is that they
• 46:29
  had had the data from all this surveillance and so
• 46:35
  what Denver did and this is his Oh he would
• 46:38
  you know, if you want to get bored to tears
• 46:40
  and hear about the intelligence community, go to Denver Riggleman's
• 46:44
  wife's distillery, and you know, if he's there backslapping and
• 46:48
  glad handing as he's great at, ask him about intelligence
• 46:56
  gathering and metadata and all. He'll just go on, oh
• 47:02
  you think philibuster, He puts the bust in philibuster, and
• 47:08
  so he goes on in his book about all the
• 47:10
  metadata that he had collected, and then John Solomon gets
• 47:21
  Adam Kinsinger on the hook for admitting that they had
• 47:24
  all this stuff and then he was leaking it to
• 47:29
  the FBI so that the FBI could be going out
• 47:34
  and using that information to target people in the government.
• 47:39
  So we had limited our scope of the outrage over
• 47:43
  January sixth to the warrantless pinging of cell phone towers
• 47:49
  to collect data on who was there, whose cell phone
• 47:53
  was there. I guess if you wanted to really get
• 47:55
  a good defense attorney, Ah, your honor, you don't know
• 47:58
  my client was there. His cell phone was certain maybe there,
• 48:01
  but just the ping of a cell phone tower doesn't
• 48:04
  mean my client was there. And that was the outrage
• 48:14
  that I think most people still rightfully feel great about
• 48:17
  because it's about targeting average American citizens. So when you
• 48:23
  hear about Lindsey Graham and all these other senators that
• 48:27
  were targeted by Denver Riggelmann for surveillance, well, actually you
• 48:32
  know he surveiled them and then told adding Adam Kinsinger
• 48:35
  what to write subpoenas for. So then you know, the
• 48:41
  data that Denver already had could be made righteous. Mike Davis,
• 48:53
  in the John Solomon piece at Just the News, former
• 48:57
  top lawyer for the Senate Judiciary Committee, founder of the
• 49:02
  Article three project, which is about constitutional courts, not the
• 49:07
  administrative courts that we've told you about in the past,
• 49:10
  said to Just the News the revelations of the FBI
• 49:15
  in the FBI memo could prompt legal challenges that would
• 49:19
  reign in congressional oversight over many things. This episode, he writes,
• 49:27
  will test the limits of congressional immunity afforded by the
• 49:31
  Constitution's Speech and debate clause, and whether that affords protection
• 49:39
  to members of Congress. Article one, Section six of the
• 49:45
  US Constitution says, the Senators and Representatives shall receive a
• 49:49
  compensation for their services, to be ascertained by law and
• 49:53
  paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall,
• 49:57
  in all cases except treason, felony, and each of the peace,
• 50:01
  be privileged from arrest during their attendance at session of
• 50:06
  their respective houses, and in going to and returning from
• 50:10
  the same, and for any speech or debate in either house.
• 50:14
  They shall not be questioned in any other place, And
• 50:19
  that was very specific, and that part of that is
• 50:21
  in the Constitution because under the Articles of Confederation, if
• 50:27
  you were the governor of North Carolina and you wanted
• 50:31
  the Continental Congress to do something to help your state,
• 50:36
  often you would come up with a warrant to arrest
• 50:43
  and or investigate thoroughly hold for investigation the delegation from
• 50:49
  Georgia that might oppose your view, and you would detain
• 50:55
  them until after the Congress was over. This would have
• 50:58
  this happened frequently during the Articles of Confederation time. It's like, well,
• 51:02
  I know George is going to vote against this, so
• 51:05
  when their delegation gets to our border, have the sheriff
• 51:08
  waiting for them actually happen. But what that's come to
• 51:15
  mean is this broader, modern American get out of jail
• 51:20
  free card for members of Congress and their powers that
• 51:29
  I think if you had a good lawyer, you could
• 51:32
  argue in some of these things. You know, speech on
• 51:35
  the floor, but does that include all speech? Does you
• 51:38
  know the congressman's speech and fur the floor is somewhere
• 51:42
  with them at all times? Are they only privileged privileged
• 51:49
  against arrest during session? And when they go home? Can
• 51:54
  they be arrested for that, but much of what they're
• 52:02
  talking about is technically legal, and this is what the
• 52:07
  Congress needs to be addressing when they finally get back
• 52:10
  to work. Although I've watched several hearings go on, sure
• 52:13
  looks like they're a congressman. There a law that reigns
• 52:19
  in this power. I know they're trying. I know they're
• 52:22
  trying to do it, but the Senate sixty vote firewall
• 52:28
  has been problematic for them because they've got Republicans who
• 52:33
  like having this kind of power. I think it should
• 52:37
  be bipartisan, especially now with folks like Hakeem Jeffries and
• 52:42
  Chuck Schumer concerned of being targeted by the administration for
• 52:47
  punitive whatever it is they're being punished for.
• 52:51
  Speaker 28: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  California based chiropractor with more than thirty years of experience,
• 53:01
  this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
• 53:05
  or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:09
  and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:13
  the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
• 53:17
  Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
• 53:20
  safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:24
  the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
• 53:28
  designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:30
  back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:33
  with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:36
  convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home,
• 53:39
  and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos
