  Speaker 9: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: Hi'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

• 13:17
  Speaker 1: First Thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: So, I have a question for you.
• 13:27
  Speaker 17: Do you know.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Who's behind the door? States all across the country are
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: redistricting trying to redraw their congressional districts before the mid terms,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: And we were talking about it a little bit yesterday
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: because in Virginia here are flagship state. Not only are
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: they trying, they're almost going back to the COVID era policies.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Virginia actually has our districting laws written into our constitution,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: which means it's a herculean effort to change them. That's
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: the whole reason you make something a constitutional amendment, so
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: some bunch of jackwagons can't show up and just change
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: it because they got a big bag full of money
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: from a special interest group. So it's a member of
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: the Virginia General Assembly, former congressman who has discovered what
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: they're trying to do to circumvent the difficulty to amend
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: the constitution. Well, that's not some of these states.
• 14:38
  Speaker 20: We're talking about Virginia, but Virginia matters to every other
• 14:40
  Speaker 20: state because again, this is quite illegal in Virginia because
• 14:44
  Speaker 20: the non partisan redistricting process in Virginia is toted in
• 14:48
  Speaker 20: the Virginia Constitution. And to amend the Virginia Constitution, you
• 14:52
  Speaker 20: have to have a vote of the majority of the
• 14:54
  Speaker 20: members of the General Ssembly of both chambers, and then
• 14:57
  Speaker 20: you have to have a second vote with an and
• 15:00
  Speaker 20: intervening election. Now this is intervening elections very key here.
• 15:05
  Speaker 20: So their argument is that the November fourth election would
• 15:09
  Speaker 20: be the intervening election. But when did the November fourth
• 15:12
  Speaker 20: election start show And the reason that the constitution says
• 15:15
  Speaker 20: there should be an intervening election is the voters have
• 15:18
  Speaker 20: to say and what it is that they're trying to
• 15:20
  Speaker 20: do with the constitution.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: So what they're trying to take is a what is
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: at minimum three to four year process and do it
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: in three to four months, very much like Wisconsin did
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: with its COVID regulations and changing its voting systems without
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: even taking a vote in the General Assembly, just allowed
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: the bureaucrats to change it. And rather than holding the
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: bureaucrats accountable for breaking Wisconsin's constitution, they said, now COVID,
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: as if that became the answer for everything. So who's
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: behind all this? Who's behind the machinations that have attempts
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: being made at redistricting in all these blue states like
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Ohio and Illinois, certainly California with Prop fifty Texas obviously,
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Roll Call reports that there are a bunch of states
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: already on the docket to try to do this before
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: the quote mid term elections. Some of them are Republican
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: states like Missouri, who are trying to counter Michigan. New York, Yes,
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: New York, they're looking at Kathy Hokel is trying to
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: get a redistricting done in New York to create permanent
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: and unquestionable Democrat majorities. So who's behind all this? Especially
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: in the Democrat states. Let me introduce you to the
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: architect of all of this, and he has been And
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: the best part of it is this didn't even take
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: a lot of investigation because when he left his government office.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: This is immediately what he set out to do.
• 17:32
  Speaker 21: It says that you know, when they go low, we
• 17:38
  Speaker 21: they go low, we kick.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: That is former Attorney General for the United States, the
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: man who ran the FBI, the man who taught Merrick
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Garland everything he knows, right, Eric Holder. Eric Holder is
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: the man behind the curtain in all of this. From
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: where I sit, or just a month or so ago
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: on Meet the Press.
• 18:04
  Speaker 14: I want to start off by asking you this morning.
• 18:06
  Speaker 14: The homepage of the group you lead, the National Democratic
• 18:10
  Speaker 14: Redistricting Committee, says, quote, there is no off season in redistricting.
• 18:15
  Speaker 14: Jerry Mandering poses a critical threat to our democracy. But
• 18:20
  Speaker 14: now you're arguing that Democrats are going to have to
• 18:23
  Speaker 14: use jerry mandering quote in order to save our democracy.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: So before she gets into the question and we hear
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Eric Holder's response, listen to what his own organization says
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: about moving the tables around so that the politicians can
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: choose their vote.
• 18:42
  Speaker 14: It's no off season in redistricting.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: That's from his own website. I went in check.
• 18:50
  Speaker 21: Well, there's no question that jerry mandering is a threat
• 18:52
  Speaker 21: to our democracy. It allows politicians to pick their voters.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: We ought to know that's what we're doing. I'm sorry,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: I didn't mean to interrupt you. To Attorney General, I
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: don't want your minions to start an investigation onto this program.
• 19:05
  Speaker 21: As opposed to citizens choosing their representatives. But we are
• 19:08
  Speaker 21: now in a situation where we find ourselves where authoritarian
• 19:12
  Speaker 21: moves are being made by the White House through various states,
• 19:15
  Speaker 21: Texas most prominent among them, and there has to be
• 19:17
  Speaker 21: a response to that. What I've said is that we
• 19:20
  Speaker 21: have to protect our democracy now if we ultimately want
• 19:24
  Speaker 21: to be able to save it.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: So and again, in the Joe Thomas in the Morning
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Field Guide to the American Left, if you flip to
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: the English to Leftist Leftist to English translation section, when
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: you hear the word democracy, they're mispronouncing it. What they
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: mean is democratsy, which means we all vote for the
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: democrats we want, and they go and take the money
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: from the special interest groups that they're aligned with.
• 19:51
  Speaker 21: So taking the reasonable steps that have been proposed in California,
• 19:55
  Speaker 21: I think it makes a great deal of sense in
• 19:58
  Speaker 21: this moment, a temporary way in which to respond to
• 20:01
  Speaker 21: that which is happening in Texas, with the thought that
• 20:04
  Speaker 21: after this crisis has passed, we get back to the
• 20:07
  Speaker 21: fight against gerrymandering by anybody.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Now there's some historical context to statements like that. Can
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: we go back to that very chilling bit right there
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: of Eric.
• 20:19
  Speaker 21: Holder, protect our democracy now if we ultimately want to
• 20:22
  Speaker 21: be able to save it, and so taking the reasonable
• 20:25
  Speaker 21: steps that have been proposed in California, I think it
• 20:29
  Speaker 21: makes a great deal of sense in this moment, a
• 20:31
  Speaker 21: temporary way in which to respond to that which is
• 20:34
  Speaker 21: happening in Texas, with the thought that after this crisis
• 20:37
  Speaker 21: has passed, we get back to the fight against gerrymandering
• 20:41
  Speaker 21: by anybody.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: So a couple of famous leaders in the world have
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: used rhetoric similar to that. I was trying to wash
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: that audio recording through an English to Latin translator because
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: one of the earliest proponents of governance like that was
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Julius Caesar. Oh, the Gauls, Gaulls are dangerous, existential threat
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: to our democracy. I need dictatorial powers to protect us.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: And then there was another fellow that I always get
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: in trouble when I invoked, but after he became Chancellor
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: of Germany in the nineteen thirties, these measures were also
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: asked of the German people and the German governant, especially
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: after some crazy bunch of radicals went holding mostly peaceful
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: protests to the Jewish businesses of Berlin on Krystal Knocht.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: That's who's behind all of this redistrict.
• 22:01
  Speaker 22: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League Training for Planet
• 22:04
  Speaker 22: Fitness and the American Heart Association recommends that we all
• 22:07
  Speaker 22: get at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate
• 22:10
  Speaker 22: aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the thing
• 22:13
  Speaker 22: that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
• 22:15
  Speaker 22: be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could
• 22:18
  Speaker 22: just be you moving your body and doing what you
• 22:20
  Speaker 22: already love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart
• 22:23
  Speaker 22: doesn't just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your
• 22:27
  Speaker 22: workout routines with strength training as well. So we are

  Speaker 9: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,

  Speaker 9: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our

  Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any

  Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or

• 24:31
  Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent

  Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and

  Speaker 1: Quickly on a need to know basis, because you need
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: to know the first thing today.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: So here's the issue, because they're all trying to ignore
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: their laws.
• 28:50
  Speaker 26: These are like the these smash and grab robbing gangs
• 28:58
  Speaker 26: that roam the streets of these progressive prosecutors' cities.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: These legislators have decided the laws don't apply to them.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: So New York State Kathy Hoka would have to get
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: a two third vote in both the Assembly and the
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Senate to approve a congressional map submitted by an independent
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: redistricting commission. We have seen how those go. In Virginia.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: We tried a nonpartisan redistricting commission until they were all
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: appointed by partisans and nothing ever came of it. Luckily,
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: the constitutional amendment we passed in Virginia had a poisoned
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: pill in it that if that failed, if the non
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: partisan commission failed, then it became the purview of our
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court to appoint two special Masters, one Democrat, one Republican,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: and they draw the maps. That's it. And in order
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: to change that it takes almost three, if not four
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: years to do. You have to pass legislation. Then you
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: have to wait for an election to occur for the
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: seats in the General Assembly, not just any election, at
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: least the House of Delegates has to stand for election
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: and then bring it, then bring it up again in
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: the next General Assembly session, and if it passes, then
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: then it has to go to the voters. So what
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: they're trying to do in Virginia is pass it right now.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: They're all going into a special session on Monday. They're
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: trying to pass it on Monday or Tuesday. Claim that
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: November fourth election is the intervening election. Go back to
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: what Garrett said, Even though the voting started on September nineteenth,
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: we have a forty five day early voting window. Nearly
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: half of Virginia's votes have already been cast or are
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: going to be cast before we ever get to what
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: I call election culmination day on November fourth, But because
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: that's a special provision because of COVID, they're claiming that
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: that's just early voting. That's going to be the challenge
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: is proving that November fourth isn't election day, it's election
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: culmination day. And here's the funny thing, here's the punchline.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: The Democratic Party of Virginia was the one that pushed
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: for this constitutional amendment in the first place, as the
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party in New York was the one who pushed
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: for this independent redistricting commission. But Kathy Hokel is looking
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: to circumvent that just the way Speaker Don Scott is
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: trying to in Virginia. According to the New York State Constitution,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: a redistricting map shall remain in force until the effective
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: date of the next ill enacted map based upon the
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: subsequent federal descential census, meaning it's tied in the New
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: York Constitution to the descennial census unless modified pursuant to
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: a court order, which means Kathy Hulkel needs a court
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: order to redraw the map. So there has to be
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: a lawsuit claiming that there is somebody who's had their
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: voting rights infringed by the by the current districting it
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: make any sense to you, because this is where Eric
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Holder comes in. Because Eric Holder has been the patron
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: saint of law fair since he first set foot into
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: the Attorney General's office, and maybe before then, but certainly
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: once he learned what he could do with the investigative
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: powers of the AG's office, he has been drunk with
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: that power ever since. And he's been using it since
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: he stepped down from that position to work on these
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: redistricting scams and how to violate law. Shrug and walk
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: away from it. Good morning. You're on the air with
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Joe Thomas. First thing this Saturday morning. Who's this Hey, Joe,
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: It's Clark. Good morning, Clark House, Alabama. This morning.
• 33:40
  Speaker 24: It's beautiful, Chris forty seven degrees where I am right now.
• 33:46
  Speaker 24: Expect you to warm up a little bit.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Though, very cool pun intend Yeah, there you go.
• 33:53
  Speaker 24: Oh I got a question for you, Joe, h oh.
• 33:59
  Speaker 24: What kind of people take desperate measures? Desperate people, desperate people.
• 34:08
  Speaker 27: And this whole thing reeks of desperation.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Oh sure it does. I mean, that's what the Delegate
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Garrett said yesterday, because they smell the tea.
• 34:16
  Speaker 10: Now.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: I had made the case earlier in the week, Barack
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Obama is coming to Virginia to campaign for the Democrat goversor.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump announced he's going to New Jersey to campaign
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: for a hold a rally for Jack Chattarelli, which has
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: got everyone in Virginia ben out of shape because they're
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: still sure that he wants Virginia's Republicans to lose because
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: they didn't all support him. Because everyone likes to insert
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: pettiness into Donald Trump. I haven't seen it on display.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: He likes who he likes, and he especially endorses people
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: who he thinks have a chance to win. I don't
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: think he believes that win some series has a chance
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: to win in Virginia because he hasn't seen the polls
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: that apparently the Democrat have seen. Because they're panicking. They're panicking.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: They're bringing in the big guns Barack Obama. They're dropping
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: the mother of all campaigners, the Moak, onto this campaign
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: because they smell defeat in the face of victory.
• 35:17
  Speaker 24: So who would have thought that a corporal of Marines
• 35:20
  Speaker 24: could end up vice president?
• 35:23
  Speaker 27: Who would have thought that wins?
• 35:24
  Speaker 24: Some sayers could have won the lieutenant governor's or ice
• 35:28
  Speaker 24: before she did it.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Joe, I imagine you know, the Marine commandant would have said,
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: don't stand in the way of any marine when they
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: want to do something.
• 35:39
  Speaker 24: There's nothing a Marine Corps corporal cannot accomplish.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: That's true anyway, I appreciate that. Is that spoken as
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: to somebody who has reached that rank himself.
• 35:53
  Speaker 24: Well, I got out as a sergeant, but what I
• 35:56
  Speaker 24: became a corporal. It was told to me by a
• 36:00
  Speaker 24: sergeant that there was absolutely nothing the corporal of Marines
• 36:04
  Speaker 24: could not accomplish.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: There you go. Well, good oohrah to you and your
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: brethren and sister and in that. But yeah, Barack Obama
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: gonna come to Virginia to campaign against the black woman
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: immigrant from Jamaica. But that's the world we live in.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: For the for the white CIA agent suburban.
• 36:25
  Speaker 27: How's it going to sell that? Let's see, I don't know.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: If Abigail Spanberger has any of Hillary Clinton's DNA, she'll
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: get her ethnic on. She'll be like, yo, what up?
• 36:37
  Speaker 27: Gee?
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: I know it sounds just as bad when I said
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: put the ebonics down. Joe.
• 36:47
  Speaker 27: You know the best thing there is Joe.
• 36:51
  Speaker 24: Hillary has as much street cred as Barack.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Does, perhaps more. I mean, her husband's office wasn't Harlem for.
• 37:00
  Speaker 27: So you did grow up here. Here's the thing you
• 37:02
  Speaker 27: should never.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: Grew up in the Chicago suburbs. Yeah, what do I
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: need not to see?
• 37:06
  Speaker 24: Yeah, here's the thing you should never ever forget. When
• 37:10
  Speaker 24: Barack Obama was talking about how good it was that
• 37:16
  Speaker 24: Social Security had not been put into the stock market,
• 37:20
  Speaker 24: and then the stock market.
• 37:21
  Speaker 27: Had taken a dip, Yeah, watched his chest.
• 37:26
  Speaker 24: And he said, aren't you glad your social Security is
• 37:30
  Speaker 24: in the stock market? Now, grabbed his chest, looked up
• 37:34
  Speaker 24: at this guy and said, you'd be like Fred Sandford.
• 37:37
  Speaker 24: I'm coming to see you weazy. Now, there is not
• 37:44
  Speaker 24: a black person that grew up in America in the
• 37:49
  Speaker 24: seventies that could mix up Fred Sandford and George Jefferson.

• 44:21
  Speaker 29: Doctor Doctor didn't the news.
• 44:24
  Speaker 8: I gotta caves loving you.
• 44:34
  Speaker 16: So.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: Earlier in the week, Senate Majority Leader John Thune took
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: a bunch of Republicans into the cloakroom to discuss what
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: to do about healthcare after the government shutdown ended, and
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: there was much concerned. I spoke with some House watchers
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: that this was an indication they were going to cave
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: on Obamacare subsidies, the ones that were instituted during COVID
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: or under the cover of COVID to prop up a
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: scheme that was at a breakneck pace accomplishing everything that
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: was designed to do, which was to crash the private
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: medical system in the United States, to turn every hospital
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: doctor and nurse into a government employee that you are
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: guaranteed to the work product of. Then I saw doctor
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: mehmet Oz. Now he's saying that that's not the case
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: that the that he and the President have a fix
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: for Obamacare. Let's listen to doctor Oz for a moment.
• 45:48
  Speaker 14: So how would you assess the impact right now on seniors?
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: Ria Bartiroma s the impact of this. I didn't want
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: this part of it. I don't want this is this.
• 45:57
  Speaker 31: Protectary We have metanism ensure that programs that are vital
• 46:02
  Speaker 31: to the state for all Americans.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: Everyone says this, he's reading from the same script left
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: behind by DHS people from years the.
• 46:12
  Speaker 18: Year to year congressional action.
• 46:13
  Speaker 31: So we're in open enrollment right now, by the way,
• 46:15
  Speaker 31: So if you're over the age of sixty five or
• 46:17
  Speaker 31: on Medicare for other reasons, this is a month and
• 46:20
  Speaker 31: a half time you've got to go in there and
• 46:22
  Speaker 31: take a fresh look at your benefit.
• 46:23
  Speaker 18: So that's all fun.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: So there's a paid for a segment on Maria Barbaromo's show.
• 46:27
  Speaker 31: Be able to direct funds in a way that makes
• 46:29
  Speaker 31: the system accurate. But the bigger reality is if half
• 46:32
  Speaker 31: your people aren't at work, you can't do the broader
• 46:35
  Speaker 31: planning required to run a healthcare system. We doll out
• 46:37
  Speaker 31: about one point seven trillion dollars a year.
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: You're not supposed to be running the healthcare system. Memit,
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: I mean i'd rather he then, Oh, I don't know
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: just about anybody in the Biden or Obama administration, but
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: nobody in the government is supposed to be running the
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: healthcare system, even to the minor level that we do anyway,
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: Doc Dras continues.
• 46:58
  Speaker 18: From Medicare and Medicaid.
• 47:00
  Speaker 31: We need people actually working at at all levels, from
• 47:02
  Speaker 31: actuaries to insurance experts. The folks who understand budgets to
• 47:06
  Speaker 31: know people who work on deliberating whether you deserve a
• 47:08
  Speaker 31: service or not.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: Just think about that. So government employee like going to
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: the DMV, just like we warned you at the establishment
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, government employee
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: doesn't care one lick about you deciding whether you get
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: healthcare or not. I mean, even Paul Krugman back in
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: twenty ten admitted it.
• 47:29
  Speaker 31: So do the quality control the run a system that large,
• 47:32
  Speaker 31: and to hold it hostage over desires that are unclear
• 47:36
  Speaker 31: is concerning to me. I don't say unclear only because
• 47:39
  Speaker 31: if you actually look at what the Democrats are claiming
• 47:41
  Speaker 31: they want, like a repeal of the One Big Beautiful Bill,
• 47:44
  Speaker 31: do they really want to do that do they really
• 47:46
  Speaker 31: want to repeal a law that says you cannot use
• 47:48
  Speaker 31: federal tax dollars to pay for illegal immigrants to get
• 47:51
  Speaker 31: healthcare In the states that want to do that, we
• 47:54
  Speaker 31: actually went back because we've been you know, they've been
• 47:56
  Speaker 31: accusations by the Democrats, and that's not really a thing
• 47:59
  Speaker 31: that money and the federal governments not going to legal immigrants. Readjusted,
• 48:02
  Speaker 31: in the last few months, in a few states that
• 48:05
  Speaker 31: we've examined less than half a dozen, we've identified more
• 48:08
  Speaker 31: than a truly i'll try more than a billion dollars
• 48:10
  Speaker 31: with a bee, more than a billion dollars of money
• 48:13
  Speaker 31: federal tax dollars that have gone to illegal immigrants.
• 48:16
  Speaker 18: We're actually calling that money.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: Here's to love and together anyway, So you know, Memodas
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: then goes on to talk about what their plan is
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: for fixing the patient protection and affordable caring and and
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: see this is the question, though, is what are what
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: is the plan? Are they going to just try to
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: write it out and make it better? This is what
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: the president said, is he wanted to make it better?
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: And is that even possible? And you know, doctor Oz
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: pressed about it.
• 48:49
  Speaker 31: About empowering individuals patients, the viewers right now to become
• 48:54
  Speaker 31: world experts on their bodies and take proactive steps. But
• 48:57
  Speaker 31: drive seventy percent of all health care expenditures are chronic
• 49:00
  Speaker 31: illnesses which we do have control over. Obesity, by the
• 49:03
  Speaker 31: be is the number one reason that our healthcare expenses
• 49:06
  Speaker 31: are increasing so much faster than other countries. Our obcity
• 49:09
  Speaker 31: rate in America is almost twice as much of that
• 49:12
  Speaker 31: of Europe. We're probably ten times more of that of Japan.
• 49:14
  Speaker 31: So obviously obese population develops hypertension, diabetes, a whole slew
• 49:20
  Speaker 31: of downstream illnesses like heart attacks and dementia and kidney
• 49:22
  Speaker 31: failure that are expensive to manage. So we are digitizing
• 49:26
  Speaker 31: the healthcare system. The tech transformation of healthcare, which every
• 49:29
  Speaker 31: major tech company is engaged in, is opening up wonderful opportunities.
• 49:33
  Speaker 18: But this takes people and planning.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: Now to unpack a little of that. All of your
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: medical history hashtag hippa has now been digitized and is
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: uploaded for secure storage on the internet. Let's ask Amazon
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: Web Services how that goes. And I'm not trying to
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: be critical of the Trump administration, but what the Trump
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: administration again is falling prey to is this idea that
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: making a bad thing less bad is preferable than getting
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: rid of it, because there are congress people, what was
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: it a famous apocryphal to a degree statement that Larry
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: Larry Kudlow made or somebody made to Trump in the
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: first term Trump one point zero, he asked about Obamacare
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: and he was told that's a second term thing. We
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: don't want to do that to our congressional leaders because
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: they're too I don't know thin skin to go out
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: and explain why all of the things that are going
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: wrong in our healthcare system right now can take their
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: cue right from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: It's why they had to enact the Obamacare subsidies. And
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: the fear that a lot of conservatives have side from
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: this rom com that's playing out between Laura Lumer and
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: Nick Fointes, who I don't know who would play Laura
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: Lumer in this Maybe the girl from My Big Fat
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: Greek Wedding, But I definitely want John Cusack playing Nick
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: Fointes in this rom com because you know they're just
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: going to wind up getting married at some point. But
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: besides that, the thing that consumes people is the idea
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: that in order to win the mid terms, the President
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: will give in and we will wind up with single
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: payer healthcare, which was exactly what Obamacare was designed to do.
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: And the two things that I draw on. Number one,
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: the President said during his first term, Hey, any one
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: of those thirteen repeal and replace bills would be fine
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: with me until Paul Ryan and the Republicans in the House.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: He stood in the way of all of them. And
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: when a member of the Republican caucus tried to bring
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: one of the repeal and replace bills to the floor
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: through discharge petition, the President himself dressed him down in
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: the Oval office. So I don't truly believe that the
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: President Obama wants a President Trump. Oh boy, doctor Freud
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: to the studio, please. President Trump wants to get rid
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: of Obamacare. I think he wants to try to fix
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: it and make it better, and by better I mean
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: less horrific. But it's all going to wind up in
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: the same place. Bernie Care, single payer British Health Services,
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: single payer government healthcare.
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: My name is Bobby.
