"White House Press Corpse" (FTTxJT Tue 092226 hr1) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday from the radio program that's never had our
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: White House press credentials rescinded.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Joe works at a steel mill, works damn near every day.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know we've never had any, but still.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: he needs.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: No wonder Joe's always smiling. He only aims to please you.
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: Let me be your Joe.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Everyone wants to rain on my parade.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: I want to be your Joe.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I say this because I've become, you know, more and
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: more annoyed at the way people promote things on the Internet.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Shocking photos of Nicolas Cage, you know, it's... People are
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: astounded at the... Can we put the dictionary down? Do
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: we have, like, a list of words that trigger people
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: into clicking on your stupid-ass stories? Because I don't know
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: if you do. I grow weary of them. People astounded
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: at Hayden Panettiere photos, you know, Okay, and then you
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: go there, because sometimes you're dumb, and you fall prey
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to it, and they catch you looking the other way,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, what is that? And you realize
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: it's nothing. This is what Shakespeare meant when he wrote
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: about significant sound and fury signifying nothing. He must have
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: been a time traveler and came back to warn us
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: about the Internet. Ray, our loyal listener from our flagship city,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: is absolutely right. The problem isn't AI. It's the internet
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that AI is going to use. We need to make
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: this more intentional. We just can't be randomly barking up trees.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I received an email two or three days ago. It
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: must have been after the Saturday program because we had
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: made some point about the internet Being in your high
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: school cafeteria, sitting at a table with two or three
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: of your friends, trying to have a conversation, surrounded by
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: every single high school bully in the school, all at
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the same time. Did you want that? I can't tell
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you how many lunches I skipped or I ate at
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the Bayside High School TV studio because I just didn't
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: want to deal with With the cafeteria. And now, you know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: here we are on the internet. And that's exactly what
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: we get in our face every day. 434-882-4217 is the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: phone number. Emails come in to jtinthemorningradio at gmail.com. And
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you, my heart goes out to our listeners
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: at 1490 WGCH. If you've got to go into Manhattan
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: for the next few days. We used to call it
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Bubble Lock. when Bill Clinton was president, because Bill would
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: arrive like two days beforehand, just glad hand around the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: city and nothing moved ever. There were people that were
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: just trying to get home that the city picked up
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: for being indigent. But as the UN meetings continue, US
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: plans to reopen a couple of former Cold War era
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: military bases once the deal is signed at 1030 this morning.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: It at the U.N. for U.S. control of Greenland. French
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: President Emmanuel Macron said he had positive talks with President
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Trump about Ukraine and the Red Sea on Monday. We
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: had a long discussion about Ukraine and Russia. It was
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: a good discussion, very constructive, the French president said. A
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: federal judge on Monday refused to block the administration from
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: giving SpaceX more than 700 acres of wildlife refuge as
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: part of a land swap in Texas, saying that the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: plaintiff's request failed to prove it would worsen ecological risks
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: of the Gulf Coast region. Also at the UN meeting,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a presentation of 20 countries in the European Union calling
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: for tighter controls on artificial intelligence systems. However, the United Kingdom,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the United States, and China have all declined to sign
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the statement, which is called a call for control of
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: frontier AI models. Major television networks suspended all pool coverage
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: of President Trump Monday in protest after CNN, MSNOW, and
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Politico announced plans to sue the administration for after having
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: their press credentials revoked. The White House hit back on
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: that criticism. The administration issued this statement. The First Amendment
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: protects their right to publish. It does not entitle them
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to a hard pass, a briefing room seat, or a
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: place in the press pool. Meanwhile, former ABC News correspondent
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Terry Moran said the network shut down his report on
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: former President Joe Biden's health well before questions about his
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: fitness went mainstream. He said, quote, in late 2023 or
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: early 2024, it was pretty clear he was fading rather quickly,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Moran said. And those are some of our first things
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: here on the Talk Media Network. Your chance continues to

  Speaker 7: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation has antioxidant
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: properties and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: at least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: personal information like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: So please join me and.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 10: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 11: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 12: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 12: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 12: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 13: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 14: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 14: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28
  Speaker 15: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 15: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 15: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 15: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 15: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 15: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 15: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 15: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 15: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 15: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 15: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:07
  Speaker 15: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 15: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 15: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18
  Speaker 15: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.
• 12:24
  Speaker 15: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 15: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 16: As a family member or friend, You may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 16: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 16: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 16: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: But help is available.
• 12:46
  Speaker 16: Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories at maketheconnection.net and learn
• 12:51
  Speaker 16: how you can support the veterans in your life.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Treatment works.
• 12:56
  Speaker 16: Recovery is possible.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: This is Independence from Virginia. Again, first thing today by
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Joe Thomas on the Talk Millionaire.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: You don't really need to find out what's going on.
• 13:29
  Speaker 9: You don't really want to know just how far it's gone.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: So here we go again. And I've said this, it's
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: one of those things that people are like, oh, they
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: roll their eyes. Here goes Joe again. Because he just
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to get along well in his industry. He
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: wants people in his industry to just, you know, dislike
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: him however you like. Here he is, and I will
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: read it in its entirety with no abridgments, no stoppages,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: no little snarky comments. We'll save those for later. But
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I will read to you the entirety of the First
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, reminding you that in 1789,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: The word the press referred to the printing press and
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: had not become colloquial for the news media. Nobody used
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: the phrase the press to refer to the news media
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: in 1789. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the freedom of speech, or of the press, or of
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: petition the government for a redress of grievances. That's it.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: That's the entirety of it. Technically one run-on sentence, some colons.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Prohibiting the free exercise of religion, enforcing a government religion,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, meaning
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: the freedom to publish. And I think what's more annoying
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: to people in this story than anything else is that
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: yet again, much to the chagrin of, well, especially Republicans,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: that the Trump administration seems to grasp what the Constitution
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: says better than everyone else. This is their statement. The
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: First Amendment protects their right to publish... It does not
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: entitle them to a hard pass, briefing room seat, or
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: a place in the press pool. Me, if it was
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: me and I was the president, I wouldn't have a
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: White House press corps. I'll let that rattle in your
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: bean for a second. If I was president of the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: United States— I wouldn't have a White House press corps.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: And I understand the efficacy of it because you can
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: control the narrative. This is why the FDR, no, was it,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: or was it, who, can you find out who it
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: is that put the press room in there and closed
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the pool up? It was FDR's pool. It was a
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: swimming pool. And they put a floor in it. From
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: what I understand, the pool is still underneath it. And
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: they instituted this briefing room under the premise. And it's interesting,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: if you go into the history of the White House
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: press corps, the White House press corps was where you
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: usually sent the cub reporter. Because all you were getting
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: were press statements. You know, you might get to ask
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: a question, usually one fed to you by the editor.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: If they call on you, ask them this, because the
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: editor might know of a story they're trying to enterprise.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: But it was a bad beat. It was where you
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: sent the rookies, because the rookies just needed to kind
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: of get words in on a column. They were just
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: going to transcribe the notes as spoken by the press secretary.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: And this was why the White House established it, so
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: that they could control the narrative. Why would the press
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: want that? Why would anyone in journalism want Barack Obama
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: controlling the narrative? Corinne Jean-Pierre, the Biden administration's version of
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Baghdad Bob. You remember Baghdad Bob? Who was old enough
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: to remember Baghdad Bob? Baghdad Bob was the spokesperson for
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the Saddam Hussein administration in Iraq. And during the invasion,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: he kept going on Iraqi television telling anyone who was
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: still around, I don't know what you're talking about. There's
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: no U.S. troops surrounding Baghdad. It became so laughable. The
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: phrase Baghdad Bob has become synonymous with press hacks. who
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: just go out there and say, as far as we
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: can tell here at, insert bad act, we here at
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Monsanto don't think there's anything wrong with the glass. As
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: a matter of fact, they're a salt, and we need
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: more salt. Therefore, we need more glyphosates or whatever. They're
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: telling you what the organization wants you to hear. Why
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: is not having access to a White House press conference—
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: that you could quite honestly just get an email from.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Trump's saving these news media outlets a fortune. Maybe that's
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: why the protest is going on, because the reporters realize,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: like happens during government shutdowns, we can get along without them.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: That's the panic in the White House press corps, is
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: that they will realize pretty soon that this was an
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: imminently replaceable position in the newsroom. And that's why they're
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: all soiling their underpants, because their position is basically that
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: is a transcribing secretary for the White House. Maybe they
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: don't even realize the newsrooms look upon them as nothing
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: more than a conduit. We go live now, so, you know, oh,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: and we'll give you a spot on the South Lawn
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: so you can have the White House in the background
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: when we throw it to you on the network. And
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: of course, like I said, the Rick Wilsons of the
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: world and the Mike Pence's of the world, they hate
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: the fact that it seems like the Trump administration, the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Trump administration, has a better grasp on what the U.S.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Constitution and the Bill of Rights says. But if it
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: was me, I wouldn't even have a press corps. Just
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I'd reopen the pool. I'd have a big event. I'd
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: have a pool party, a little, you know, some pool
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: volleyball or something like that. Hey, look, we've got a
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: pool here in the White House now. West Wing staffers
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: each get a, you know, an hour to swim some laps.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Let the press corps find the news stories out where
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: they will. Hey, I'm Brant, and her name is Sherry.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 22:04
  Speaker 17: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 17: for because of a surgery she just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 18: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  Speaker 18: talk about all the time, which is?
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: MediShare.
• 22:13
  Speaker 18: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:15
  Speaker 17: So what was your experience like with MediShare and the
• 22:17
  Speaker 17: health care bill?
• 22:18
  Speaker 18: Honestly, Brant, seamless. And what a blessing that is. When
• 22:21
  Speaker 18: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
• 22:24
  Speaker 18: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 18: me tell you, Having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 18: call in with your need, that is just.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: It is refreshing.
• 22:33
  Speaker 18: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:34
  Speaker 17: But I keep telling people, people love MediShare and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 17: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 18: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different.
• 22:46
  Speaker 18: And I mean different in a very, very good way.

  Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 23:02
  Speaker 19: Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Artificial
• 23:07
  Speaker 19: intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver better
• 23:11
  Speaker 19: care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that speed up diagnoses
• 23:16
  Speaker 19: to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports veterinary teams
• 23:21
  Speaker 19: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,
• 23:27
  Speaker 19: predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease, and even streamline
• 23:32
  Speaker 19: record keeping so veterinarians can focus more on patients. But
• 23:37
  Speaker 19: as with any new technology, always keep a human in
• 23:40
  Speaker 19: the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare. AI is
• 23:45
  Speaker 19: a powerful tool. but not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion,
• 23:50
  Speaker 19: and judgment, which remains at the center of our profession.

• 24:07
  Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin.

• 24:12
  Speaker 7: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 20: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer. or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,

  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: The Talk Media Network.
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: Hey, hey, hey.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Substack.
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: Oh, you mean Instagram.
• 28:27
  Speaker 16: That's it.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I swear the White House press corps is nothing more
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: than the TMZ newsroom for ugly people. And Kareem sent
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: me a little link to, I guess this was from
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the George Bush, George W. Bush Presidential Library in the
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: history of the White House press. press briefing room. And
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: I love irony like this. Kareem's actually on the phone
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: with us. Kareem, I love irony like this. I love
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: the irony of the fact that it was Richard Milhouse
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Nixon that put the White House press room in where
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: it is right now. No president until Donald Trump came
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: along was more reviled and assaulted and chased around by
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: the press than I don't know, maybe he put it
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: in there thinking he'd win them over by giving them
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: a room to work in. But I just love the idea.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: of the fact that it was Nixon who put the
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: White House press briefing room in there specifically probably to
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: control the narrative. I am not a crook and things
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: like that. How are you doing this morning, sir?
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Joe, I'm doing much better now.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: I just passed through D.C. And tell you what, the traffic,
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: bless their hearts, on the south side, it's still lined up.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Hang on there a second there. You may have passed
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: through the bowels of traffic there by the inner colon
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: of Washington, D.C., but I don't know if everyone heard you.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: But thank you for that link on the on the
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Richard Nixon history with the White House press room. And
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: as if to make my point, Nixon wanted to control
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: this out-of-control news media that was after him day in
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: and day out. So what does he do? He says,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: sit here and I'll tell you what the story is
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: and you go print it. And that's what it's turned into.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: It really has. And I wouldn't have any of them.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: I would just say no press corps. Go get your
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: stories wherever you want. You want an interview? Call the
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: press secretary and see if you can get a range one.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Ask some questions. We'll be glad to answer your questions.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: We're just not going to be sitting here twice a
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: day for some dog and pony show. Anyway, what's on
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: your mind this morning?
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Joe, two things. First, let me add some meaty nuggets
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: of historical fact that isn't usually well known. So Eisenhower's VP,
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: Richard Nixon, was going to run for president and did.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: Eisenhower– there's a book about his hidden hand presidency. He
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: was very much a behind-the-scenes guy as being the general
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: he was, but he was also very big on image
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: as president. officers usually are. In fact, when officers take
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: their photos in the uniform, some of them have double-sided
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: tape to make sure their uniform fits just right.
• 31:43
  Speaker 12: Sure.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: Eisenhower was good friends with Robert Montgomery. If anybody was
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: a fan of Bewitched back in the 70s, I know
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: I am, his daughter, Elizabeth Montgomery, was Samantha. Anyway, Robert
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: was known for being very particular about his style and wardrobe.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Didn't use a wallet because it messed up the lines
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: of his suit. He was Eisenhower's image consultant, and Eisenhower
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: strongly recommended that Richard Nixon use him for his upcoming
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: election in 1960 versus JFK. Now, Joe, most people probably
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: know this, but it may be forgotten. Photogenetically, JFK was
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: a little bit more appealing to the masses than Richard
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: Nixon was. And Nixon lost. But after that, Nixon went
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: on a tour, and one of the things he did
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: was he paid attention to De Gaulle in France. De
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: Gaulle would only give one press briefing a year, and
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: it was whatever he wanted to talk about. He took that,
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: and he missed it with the image consulting, and so
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: that's why the press room was there. It's kind of
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: like when you go to the mattresses, the same mentality
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: is keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. That
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: press pull is a tool. And if you leave them
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: to go on their own tangents, it gets worse. And
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: my guessing is it's about to get very.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Ugly these next couple of months.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: In fact, the last thing I say before I depart.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: It has been rumored that Trump has said not enough
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: Republicans are on TV protecting him. So it may be
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: a circling the limousines moment.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Anyway, Joe, have a great day.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: Thanks for taking my call.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: No problem circling the limousines. They are armor plated. But
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: this is my point about the press corps. It is
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: there to tell the story the White House once told.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Why would you want to be that if you're a journalist,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: if you're truly a journalist and not just somebody who
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: was looking to score clickbait on the internet, if you
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: are truly looking to go and find stories that no
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: one's seen before, to find out the truth of something
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: going on, like why your electric bills are higher aside
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: from blaming the data centers on it, if you want
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: to find the real stories, you want to go dig
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: and you want to talk to more people than just
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: the guy who comes out there and says, Yeah, from
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: the Committee of Concerned Scientists, we think data centers are Satan.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: And walks away.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: And everyone.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: If you've ever seen... Probably more people have seen the
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: film adaptation than have gone to Broadway. Maybe you've seen
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: it on a touring company visit. It's certainly out there
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: a lot. The Broadway musical Chicago. There's a beautiful scene
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: about how The lawyer manipulates the press into tainting the
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: jury pool into already believing that she was just some
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: girl who was being attacked by a guy. So they, quote,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: both reached for the gun. And then she killed him.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: And the musical number is all the members of the press,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the photographers, and the reporters all starting to sing in unison,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both reached for
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: the gun. Come up with a story that touches, and
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: this is, as Kareem pointed out, they all have image consultants,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: they all have social media managers, they all have script writers.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: The good ones are the ones, just like in broadcast
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: television or radio the good ones tap into what's really
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: happening the good ones are the ones who are aware
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: of the zeitgeist and can tap into something into it
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: that's what makes a Seinfeld a hit and Ellen DeGeneres
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: is these friends of mine not that nothing to do
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: with whether Jerry was heterosexual and she wasn't it had
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: to do with the fact that her show didn't touch
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: people where they were while Seinfeld carried archetypes of people like,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I know him, he's my buddy. You know, you got
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: to touch people and not in the way that's going
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: to get you indicted.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Congressman, just saying. If you do that, you know, the
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: successful politicians, the Barack Obamas, the Bill Clintons, the Ronald Reagans,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: and yes, the George W. Bushes are the ones who
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: successfully touch and resonate with voters, congresspeople that win over
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: and over again. Mitch McConnell, for our friends down hometown
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: radio in Danville, I'm sure some of you sit there
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: and say, how do we keep sending Mitch McConnell back?
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Because there's something in the way he communicates with Kentuckians
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: that And maybe they figure, well, we've got Rand Paul
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: on one side, we'll have Mitch McConnell on the other.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: It's like having a Democrat and a Republican. So the
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: politician wants to tell their story. J.D. Vance on Newsmax
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: last night. Do we have time before the break? Just
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: a quick clip of J.D. Vance talking to Newsmax. Go
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: to a friendly... a friendly place during the UN meetings.
• 37:20
  Speaker 10: I'd say the message is two very simple things.
• 37:22
  Speaker 23: First of all, don't give power to the crazy people
• 37:25
  Speaker 23: who started these problems in the first place. If you're
• 37:27
  Speaker 23: frustrated about high prices, you have every reason to be frustrated.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: All right, JD, that's not simple. Simple was the first sentence.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: I get it. But again, they're grappling for the 10-word answer.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Don't give power back to the crazy people. That's a
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: good line. The United States of America, you've got this.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: That's a good line. It means something. It's not deep,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't tell the whole story, but it touches.
• 38:00
  Speaker 24: Hi, it's Mark Falter, host of the Financial Fitness Show.
• 38:05
  Speaker 24: I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
• 38:08
  Speaker 24: penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately,
• 38:13
  Speaker 24: for most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case.
• 38:16
  Speaker 19: Why?
• 38:17
  Speaker 24: Because most people spend more time planning next weekend's getaway
• 38:21
  Speaker 24: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less in taxes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 24: My financial fitness team has put together some materials that
• 38:27
  Speaker 24: I know are going to help you. It's the tax
• 38:29
  Speaker 24: savings kit. Tax savings kit includes three things. Free tax analysis,
• 38:35
  Speaker 24: top 10 ways to pay less in taxes, and an
• 38:37
  Speaker 24: investor's guide to taxes.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Now, how do you get it? Simple.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: 866-764-2635.
• 38:42
  Speaker 24: Again, 866- That's 764-2635. I'm Mark Falter. This is Financial Fitness,
• 38:54

• 39:02
  Speaker 13: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
• 39:05
  Speaker 13: feels like even a family road trip is taking a risk.
• 39:08
  Speaker 13: We don't want the feeling of being unprotected and vulnerable.
• 39:11
  Speaker 13: We found GetCCL.com. GetCCL.com gave us the help we needed
• 39:16
  Speaker 13: to apply for a legal concealed carry permit that's recognized
• 39:20
  Speaker 13: in over half of the country. GetCCL.com simplifies the process
• 39:24
  Speaker 13: to apply and it's all online. We used their free
• 39:27
  Speaker 13: qualification process to answer a few questions. and applied for
• 39:30
  Speaker 13: our permit right from home. Thanks to reciprocity laws between states,
• 39:34
  Speaker 13: when you're issued a New Hampshire concealed carry permit, you
• 39:37
  Speaker 13: can legally carry in any state that recognizes your New
• 39:40

  Speaker 25: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 25: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them, nestled
• 40:08
  Speaker 25: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:13
  Speaker 9: Oh, yes!
• 40:14
  Speaker 26: Yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 13: Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 25: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:20
  Speaker 25: favorite form of ear candy.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, my.
• 40:24
  Speaker 25: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:27
  Speaker 26: Shh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 25: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:38
  Speaker 25: And with every item you buy, you fund local job
• 40:41
  Speaker 25: training and more. So go forth, bring home those donut earrings,
• 40:48
  Speaker 25: and bring home so.
• 40:49
  Speaker 10: Much good to your community.
• 40:53
  Speaker 25: Goodwill, bring good home.
• 40:57
  Speaker 22: Exercise is hard, so is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:02
  Speaker 22: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 22: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 22: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 22: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 22: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:23
  Speaker 22: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 22: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 22: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 22: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:40
  Speaker 25: Eat better.
• 41:41

• 43:39
  Speaker 28: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:41

  Speaker 2: First thing today, by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: You will know. Whoa, whoa, whoa. God bless you, please, Mr. Madison.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: Heaven help these fools that legislate.
• 44:30
  Speaker 10: Rights away.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: Our rights away.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: There's another sidebar to why I.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: I pay little attention to who's in the White House
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: press corps. I really couldn't care less whether they've had
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: their credentials pulled or not. And some of it is
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: the fact that I do what they do and I
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: have to go out and get stories. And I have
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: all sorts of friends and all sorts of press agencies.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Many of them did what I did until they got, quote,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: a real job, which is part of the problem with
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: the journalism today is I would. hazard to say at
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: very least a plurality of all journalists, whether they be
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: doing a Substack page or a video blog on YouTube,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: they're all trying to get hired as press secretary for
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: some organization, whether it's a quango, an actual government agency,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: or a non-profit of some other ilk. They're trying to
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: impress somebody that they can tell a story. They can
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: touch the people they need to touch, whether it's contributors
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: or voters or whatever. And that's what they want to
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: do when they grow up. But there's a subtext, and
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: you've probably heard me talk about how our political life
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: has turned into this metaphorical battle of Bannockburn, you know,
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: where the Republicans line up at the top of one
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: hill and the Democrats line up at the top of
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: another hill and we run after each other with claymores
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: and broadswords and axes and arrows and we're all just
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: hacking away to get our guy elected king.
• 46:29
  Speaker 9: Would you be willing to trade all the days from
• 46:32
  Speaker 9: this day to that For one chance, just one chance,
• 46:37
  Speaker 9: to come back here and tell our enemies that they
• 46:41
  Speaker 9: may take our lives, but they'll never take our.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Freedom! We're killing each other to make somebody a four-year
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: or eight-year king. They have their knights of the round table,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: their cabinet, Each cabinet office has a police department, heavily
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: armed police department, and a court system all their own.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Look up administrative courts if you don't believe me. And
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying Barack Obama had them, Joe Biden hadn't.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump has them. And you say, well, that's good
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: because he's my king. I like him. Okay. Is J.D.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Vance going to be, you know, the Next in line
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: to be that king is again.
• 47:39
  Speaker 10: While they're focused on the good as well. So the message,
• 47:42
  Speaker 10: if you could, in a word.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: It's on Newsmax last night from the U.N. meetings in
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: New York.
• 47:47
  Speaker 10: It's critical season. I'd say the message is two very
• 47:50
  Speaker 10: simple things.
• 47:51
  Speaker 23: First of all, don't give power to the crazy people
• 47:53
  Speaker 23: who started these problems in the first place. If you're
• 47:55
  Speaker 23: frustrated about high prices, you have every reason to be
• 47:58
  Speaker 23: frustrated by high prices. If you're frustrated by the fact
• 48:00
  Speaker 23: that crime is higher than it should be, you have
• 48:02
  Speaker 23: every reason.
• 48:03
  Speaker 10: But we got the crime rate at the lowest level
• 48:05
  Speaker 10: in 126 years.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Now, this is J.D. Vance telling you the simple answer.
• 48:10
  Speaker 29: After the Democrats got it at record levels, we've got
• 48:12
  Speaker 29: inflation now finally under control after the Democrats got it
• 48:16
  Speaker 29: to its highest level in 48 years. And so I
• 48:18
  Speaker 29: think for us, the message is we've made a lot
• 48:21
  Speaker 29: of progress, but we've got to make more progress over
• 48:23
  Speaker 29: the next couple of years. Reinvest, double down on the
• 48:28
  Speaker 29: political people who have done right by the country over
• 48:31
  Speaker 29: the past 18 months.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Don't reelect us king and consort. And believe me, you
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: look at who they're going to be running against. You
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: listen to some of these congressional candidates. And J.D. Vance
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: isn't wrong, but he should have stopped it. Don't give
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: power back to crazy. And whether it's crazy driven by
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Trump derangement syndrome or this insistence that they need to
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: remind people that they can't get along without them because
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: way too many people over the last 10 years have
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: been waking up to the fact that you're not going
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: to help me so I can do it myself. That's
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: why the socialists are having some success because they can
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: touchstone into the failures of the Democrat promises as much
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: as Republicans seem unwilling to do. Why did Zorhan Mamdani
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: beat the field in New York? Because the Republican... didn't
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: talk about the Democrat failures as eloquently as Zorhan Mamdani did. Simple.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: Bottom line. It had nothing to do with the Guardian Angels.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Curtis Lee was a perfectly fine person, does a really
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: decent job, though, like Sean Hannity, is interesting, more interesting
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: to me when he's got somebody to talk with and
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: not just doing ersatz PR for someone. But that's just
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: my opinion, and it's worth the nickel you spend on
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: getting it. But Curtis Sliwa didn't talk to the New
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: Yorkers' frustrations with the Democrat promises and their failures. Zorhan
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Mamdani did. You know what he said? I'm going to
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: just burn the whole thing down and get you free stuff.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to dance around and play patty cake
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: with the fact that you're poor. You're poor, and it's
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: because some greedy bastard is getting rich off of you. Sure,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: it's a lie, but it's a lie that touches people
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: who are trying to decide whether to pay their electric
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: bill or buy groceries. And I'm not saying there aren't
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: things that people can do to buy groceries and pay
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: their electric bills because I think we waste so much
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: of our money and time and food and so much
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: in this country. We would be so much wealthier if
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: we just didn't waste as much as we do. But
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: the White House press corps feeds this royal presidency. There's
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: a press installation in the Senate office building, second tier.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: If you go up on the second floor, there's a
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: big balcony that surrounds the atrium right into the entrance.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: And there are camera placements for every major news network.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: And if you go in there, this is the halls
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: of your government. We the people send these congressional representatives.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: And it's empty. There's no press corps sitting around waiting
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: for Senator Adam Schiff to walk by and give a
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: statement or Rand Paul. They have to go call them
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: and say, hey, can we do a stand-up here? We
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: are unbalanced in our coverage of our triumvirate government. We
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: cover one part of it and barely cover the second
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: only when they're issuing controversial rulings, and the other ones,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: it's like we want a quick hit piece on someone.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: They treat him like a king.
• 52:51
  Speaker 20: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:54
  Speaker 20: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 10: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
• 52:59
  Speaker 10: was no hassles.
• 53:00
  Speaker 24: There was no problem.
• 53:01
  Speaker 20: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:05
  Speaker 20: of such an incredible ministry.
• 53:07
  Speaker 27: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
• 53:11
  Speaker 27: share each other's medical expenses.
• 53:13
  Speaker 14: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 53:17
  Speaker 14: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 53:20
  Speaker 27: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old.
• 53:25
  Speaker 27: And members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
• 53:27
  Speaker 27: medical bills.
• 53:28
  Speaker 10: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 53:30
  Speaker 10: You can focus on supporting other people. MediShare is affordable.
• 53:34
  Speaker 27: MediShare is biblical.
• 53:36
  Speaker 13: MediShare is family.
• 53:37
