- 0:01Speaker 1: Science and more mega now make America great again than
- 0:06Speaker 1: I've ever been. Making mornings great again. First thing today
- 0:10Speaker 1: on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 0:33Speaker 2: On a tense day morning, a blessings of all the
- 0:36Speaker 2: things God has gifted you to do and your voracious
- 0:40Speaker 2: application of them to your community who will, of course,
- 0:43Speaker 2: reward you justly and therefore you don't need to worry
- 0:47Speaker 2: about what they say about you on Instagram or 4chan
- 0:51Speaker 2: or Reddit. I mean, theoretically speaking. I don't know if
- 0:55Speaker 2: people are talking about you on Reddit or if that's
- 0:57Speaker 2: something you've coveted at all. A couple of text messages
- 1:01Speaker 2: and emails came in after our segment on blood cancers.
- 1:06Speaker 2: And it was really, I apologize if it was a
- 1:08Speaker 2: little weird, but I haven't talked to Dr. Portel in
- 1:12Speaker 2: 12 years. We finished the treatment and, you know, funny
- 1:16Speaker 2: side story if it's funny or not. My insurance only
- 1:21Speaker 2: covered two PET scans. And we were at the end
- 1:25Speaker 2: of what he considered to be the run because it
- 1:28Speaker 2: was such an unusual case of lymphoma. He wasn't 100%
- 1:31Speaker 2: sure from a CT scan if it was all gone
- 1:35Speaker 2: or not. And he said, I don't want to do
- 1:38Speaker 2: a PET scan and then find out that there's still
- 1:41Speaker 2: some cancer in there. Do you mind going three more months?
- 1:46Speaker 2: And I said, sure. He's like, really? You don't want
- 1:49Speaker 2: to think about it? Our relationship began. He showed me
- 1:52Speaker 2: that PET scan. And he said, do you have any
- 1:54Speaker 2: other questions? And I said, sure. Is there a chair
- 1:58Speaker 2: open downstairs, meaning the infusion room? And he said, usually
- 2:01Speaker 2: people want to think it over a little bit. What's
- 2:03Speaker 2: to think about? I've got the sun in my groin
- 2:07Speaker 2: area and I want to get it down to a
- 2:10Speaker 2: normal size again. And literally, I had a lymph gland
- 2:15Speaker 2: outside my skin. That's how weird a case of lymphoma
- 2:20Speaker 2: I had or how dumb I was. People said, well,
- 2:23Speaker 2: do you know what? Was it stage four or stage three?
- 2:26Speaker 2: I said, I don't know. The lymph gland was outside.
- 2:29Speaker 2: I don't know if there are grades of that. Seeley,
- 2:33Speaker 2: our friend from Mesa Verde Hemp, he said, I imagine
- 2:37Speaker 2: surviving cancer changes your outlook on the world regarding CBD
- 2:41Speaker 2: and cancer. Medicare started a program where oncologists buy CBD
- 2:46Speaker 2: oil and give it to their patients. Interesting that cancer
- 2:49Speaker 2: is the first disease they pointed out. CBD treatments at?
- 2:53Speaker 2: I know several people, breast cancer is another one that
- 2:58Speaker 2: the cannabinoid there, never mind. I mean, you start to
- 3:01Speaker 2: get these prescriptions for the wacky tobacco in the first place.
- 3:10Speaker 2: But I know the CBD oil and several of my
- 3:13Speaker 2: friends undergoing breast cancer treatments say it's just been a
- 3:17Speaker 2: godsend for the side effects and things like that. So
- 3:21Speaker 2: it's good to see that they're doing that. I didn't
- 3:23Speaker 2: have that. I was on a vegan diet at the
- 3:26Speaker 2: time with a sugar restriction that had me down under
- 3:30Speaker 2: 15 grams of sugar a day, which is half an orange,
- 3:35Speaker 2: by the way, in case you're keeping score at home.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Go look at anything that has any amount of sugar
- 3:40Speaker 2: in it, even the healthy stuff, and see if you
- 3:43Speaker 2: could live at under 15 grams of sugar a day. Oh,
- 3:47Speaker 2: I lost a lot of weight. Oh, yes, I did. Anyway,
- 3:50Speaker 2: onwards into our first things, drones and missiles trading between
- 3:55Speaker 2: the U.S. and Iran, U.S. shooting missiles at Iran, Iran
- 4:00Speaker 2: sending drones into friends of the United States like Kuwait
- 4:04Speaker 2: and Bahrain. Meanwhile, China is in Egypt saying, I'll fix
- 4:09Speaker 2: it soon. He's meeting with Egyptian leaders to say that
- 4:14Speaker 2: China is ready to step in as a stabilizer. Vladimir Putin,
- 4:21Speaker 2: seeing Chairman Xi cozying up to the Egyptians, had to
- 4:25Speaker 2: make sure his name was mentioned in this battle and
- 4:28Speaker 2: sought out Massoud Prezhikian at the Kyrgyzstan-Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting,
- 4:37Speaker 2: got a photo op with him and then told the
- 4:40Speaker 2: press that Moscow is there behind Tehran as they need. Meanwhile,
- 4:47Speaker 2: another meeting of another bunch of minds, including some Russians,
- 4:51Speaker 2: in Asheville, North Carolina. The group of 20, according to
- 4:55Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, the administration has secured significant support,
- 5:01Speaker 2: his words, from U.S. allies towards the economic D-Day battle
- 5:06Speaker 2: with the Iranians. FBI has seized more than $ 560, 000 in
- 5:09Speaker 2: cryptocurrency donations intended for Hamas, the Justice Department said Tuesday.
- 5:17Speaker 2: In addition to seizing the cryptocurrency, the department said it
- 5:21Speaker 2: had taken control of website domains and communication platform used
- 5:26Speaker 2: for fundraising to those sites. Jeanine Pirro said, My message
- 5:32Speaker 2: to Hamas is clear. Your networks are not secure. Your
- 5:35Speaker 2: crypto is ours. Apple has its third new head in
- 5:41Speaker 2: its company history. as John Ternus took command after Tim
- 5:47Speaker 2: Cook's 15-year run, growing the company to a $ 4. 6 trillion organization. However,
- 5:54Speaker 2: it is lagging behind the world of artificial intelligence, and
- 5:58Speaker 2: Ternus said that will be part of his focus. Apparently also,
- 6:02Speaker 2: it meant changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake
- 6:07Speaker 2: America in the web version of Apple Maps. Google had
- 6:11Speaker 2: done the same just a day earlier. And those are
- 6:15Speaker 2: some of our first things this morning. We're heading to Shanksville,
- 6:20Speaker 2: Pennsylvania in less than 10 days for broadcasts from the
- 6:28Speaker 2: Flight 93 museum there and full coverage of the 25th
- 6:33Speaker 2: anniversary of the terror attacks on this nation and an
- 6:37Speaker 2: airplane full of patriots who said, not on this plane.
- 6:41Speaker 2: and made the ultimate sacrifice, never once being able to
- 6:44Speaker 2: put down on paper, we pledge our lives, our fortunes,
- 6:47Speaker 2: and our sacred honor. But their actions told us that.

- 8:04Speaker 7: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 7: I'm Dr.
- 8:13Speaker 8: Mitch.
- 8:14Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 8:20Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 8:24Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 8:28Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 8:33Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 8:39Speaker 7: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 8:43Speaker 7: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 8:47Speaker 7: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 8:52Speaker 7: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

- 9:02Speaker 9: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 9:05Speaker 9: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 9:10Speaker 9: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you

- 9:17Speaker 9: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 9:21Speaker 9: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never

- 9:33Speaker 9: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,

- 9:46Speaker 9: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
- 9:53Speaker 9: Share this information with your friends and family.
- 9:59Speaker 10: Hi, everybody.
- 9:59Speaker 2: I'm Jack Hanson.
- 10:00Speaker 11: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
- 10:02Speaker 11: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
- 10:05Speaker 11: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
- 10:07Speaker 11: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
- 10:10Speaker 11: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes who work hard
- 10:13Speaker 11: to provide for their young. Or penguins, who travel up
- 10:16Speaker 11: to 500 miles to secure food for their families. Or
- 10:19Speaker 11: bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
- 10:22Speaker 11: trees and.
- 10:22Speaker 2: The wild in search of fruit.
- 10:24Speaker 11: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
- 10:27Speaker 11: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
- 10:30Speaker 11: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
- 10:33Speaker 11: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
- 10:36Speaker 11: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
- 10:39Speaker 11: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
- 10:42Speaker 11: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
- 10:45Speaker 11: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
- 10:48Speaker 1: So please join me and.
- 10:49Speaker 11: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
- 10:52Speaker 11: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go
- 10:55Speaker 11: to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
- 10:59Speaker 12: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 13: Oh, yeah?
- 11:02Speaker 14: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:04Speaker 15: And now a speech.
- 11:07Speaker 16: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
- 11:15Speaker 12: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
- 11:18Speaker 12: call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 17: Love that guy.
- 11:20Speaker 16: Me too.
- 11:21Speaker 18: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 11:24Speaker 18: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:29Speaker 3: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 11:31Speaker 3: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:35Speaker 3: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 11:40Speaker 3: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42Speaker 3: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 11:46Speaker 3: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 11:51Speaker 3: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 11:54Speaker 3: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 11:58Speaker 3: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 12:01Speaker 3: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 12:04Speaker 3: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 12:08Speaker 3: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 12:11Speaker 3: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 12:14Speaker 3: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

- 12:29Speaker 19: As a family member or friend, you may be the
- 12:32Speaker 19: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35Speaker 19: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
- 12:40Speaker 19: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
- 12:44Speaker 19: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
- 12:49Speaker 19: at maketheconnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
- 12:53Speaker 19: in your life. treatment works. Recovery is possible.
- 13:21Speaker 2: It doesn't feel that way this year.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Because you need to know the first thing today.
- 13:28Speaker 2: First thing today, Joe Thomas and Taylor Walker is, I mean,
- 13:34Speaker 2: I almost feel, you know, I used to get these
- 13:38Speaker 2: feelings in high school, you know, when I'd meet somebody
- 13:40Speaker 2: who was so much smarter than I was, especially if
- 13:43Speaker 2: they were female. She's got multiple degrees in physical education, nutritional,
- 13:50Speaker 2: life coaching, and also then happens to be a professional
- 13:55Speaker 2: dancer on top of it, too. So no showing off, Taylor,
- 13:59Speaker 2: and thanks for visiting with us. As kids are getting
- 14:02Speaker 2: back to school, is it important for, and my confession
- 14:08Speaker 2: was really sort of as an entree to this, that
- 14:12Speaker 2: things that appear like they're a high achievement shouldn't dissuade
- 14:17Speaker 2: somebody from talking to each other and feeling like, oh,
- 14:21Speaker 2: I could never say anything to that person because they've
- 14:24Speaker 2: done so much or they achieved so much?
- 14:28Speaker 20: I think more than anything, where your heart lies is
- 14:32Speaker 20: how you connect with each other. So just by speaking,
- 14:34Speaker 20: it doesn't matter what your resume looks like. I think
- 14:37Speaker 20: kindness up front is the foremost important thing. Well, you
- 14:41Speaker 20: would have been.
- 14:44Speaker 2: Nice to me in high school. I can tell. Absolutely.
- 14:47Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 14:48Speaker 2: But you're you're you're also you're unique because when you
- 14:52Speaker 2: talk about fitness, it's not just, you know, body mass index,
- 14:57Speaker 2: you know, musculature and all that. You're talking about a
- 15:00Speaker 2: big picture capital F fitness.
- 15:04Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 15:04Speaker 20: I always say that weight loss is just a byproduct
- 15:07Speaker 20: of moving your body. There are so many benefits from
- 15:10Speaker 20: mental health. It's not just about the physical, but physical
- 15:13Speaker 20: equals longevity. So whether I have a 70-year-old woman or
- 15:17Speaker 20: I'm training a teenager, that always rings true. And I
- 15:21Speaker 20: think when you are investing in your quality movement, especially
- 15:24Speaker 20: after I became a mother, was one of the most
- 15:26Speaker 20: humbling experiences of my life. after you become a parent
- 15:31Speaker 20: and whether you're working with a wide range of clients,
- 15:34Speaker 20: movement is just beneficial, mind, body, and soul. It is
- 15:37Speaker 20: definitely not just about what you look like in the mirror.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Well, you'll appreciate this. I know you're from New Jersey.
- 15:42Speaker 2: There was an offensive lineman for the New York Jets
- 15:46Speaker 2: once came back from an injury and he was being interviewed.
- 15:50Speaker 2: And the reporter said, I don't think I've ever seen
- 15:52Speaker 2: you look like this. He said, yeah, I spent most
- 15:55Speaker 2: of my rehab chasing my five-year-old around And I decided
- 15:58Speaker 2: after a bit, I would just do whatever my five-year-old did.
- 16:02Speaker 2: And it was the toughest workouts of my life because
- 16:06Speaker 2: chasing a kid around is great activity, isn't it?
- 16:09Speaker 20: It's definitely. And I have to be honest with you.
- 16:11Speaker 20: My dad was actually a wide receiver for the New
- 16:13Speaker 20: York Jets. So I myself was raised similarly. And I
- 16:18Speaker 20: think it just lends itself to show it doesn't matter
- 16:20Speaker 20: how high of a stage you're on. Fitness is important.
- 16:23Speaker 20: And you just model that behavior. But he was always
- 16:25Speaker 20: kind first.
- 16:27Speaker 2: So I'm going to show my nerdiness here. It's not
- 16:29Speaker 2: Wesley Walker, is it?
- 16:31Speaker 14: It sure is.
- 16:33Speaker 18: Oh, wow.
- 16:33Speaker 2: You know, my dad, if he was still around, he'd
- 16:35Speaker 2: be like, you talked to Wesley Walker's daughter, the good
- 16:38Speaker 2: old days in New Jersey. But anyway, Taylor, I appreciate
- 16:43Speaker 2: your time. Talk about this VIBE program and what on
- 16:47Speaker 2: this subject Old Navy is up to.
- 16:52Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, if you.
- 16:52Speaker 20: Look good, you feel good. And I think that lends
- 16:55Speaker 20: itself to just being confident. And confidence is so important,
- 16:59Speaker 20: especially for our youth, right? So Old Baby really brings
- 17:03Speaker 20: the best trends, but at quality pieces that your kids
- 17:06Speaker 20: will actually want to wear. And what's more important for
- 17:08Speaker 20: our families right now is it's at an incredible price point.
- 17:12Speaker 20: So really this year we're getting into fun, and the
- 17:15Speaker 20: vibe is all about different things. Denim is really becoming
- 17:19Speaker 20: a staple. It always has been a great item to
- 17:22Speaker 20: kind of transition us from summer into fall that we
- 17:25Speaker 20: know is coming here in the Northeast. But they really
- 17:29Speaker 20: carry everything that your kids would want. If they want
- 17:31Speaker 20: to follow a certain trend, there's low-rise, baggy cargo styles.
- 17:36Speaker 20: Everything is really fashionable but super comfy, and it's going
- 17:40Speaker 20: to lend themselves once again to just feel confident in
- 17:43Speaker 20: what they're wearing and about themselves. Some trends that we're
- 17:47Speaker 20: seeing at Old Navy this year, there's a lot of fleece,
- 17:50Speaker 20: 90s style. That was the generation I was raised in.
- 17:53Speaker 20: There's also that PJ-inspired trend that's alive and well, saggy
- 17:57Speaker 20: fleece pants.
- 18:00Speaker 4: Hello?
- 18:00Speaker 18: Hello?
- 18:02Speaker 20: But a fourth comfortable so the kids can be really
- 18:04Speaker 20: comfortable in their skin and what they're wearing to school.
- 18:07Speaker 2: And it's interesting because I just was talking to somebody
- 18:12Speaker 2: in this area of Virginia, our flagship area. Kids have
- 18:16Speaker 2: been in school for about a week, but that's a
- 18:17Speaker 2: good point of view from a parent because you get
- 18:21Speaker 2: a yardstick. Maybe what was fashionable at the end of
- 18:24Speaker 2: the school here in June has changed, so a kid
- 18:27Speaker 2: might be thinking, now I'm out of step. So you
- 18:31Speaker 2: want to kind of go in and say, okay, let's debrief.
- 18:35Speaker 2: You've been at school for a week. Not just how
- 18:37Speaker 2: are your classes going, but do you need shirts, pants,
- 18:41Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, shoes?
- 18:44Speaker 20: All of it, right? And that's a lot for parents.
- 18:47Speaker 20: And that's why I think Old Navy really brings to
- 18:50Speaker 20: the forefront is something that these children can go into
- 18:53Speaker 20: the store, the parents can go into the store and
- 18:55Speaker 20: really feel good about what they're purchasing for their kids.
- 18:58Speaker 20: But there is one thing, especially as a trainer and
- 19:00Speaker 20: as a mom, that I love. Hello? So, basically, if
- 19:09Speaker 20: you're a sometimes mover, they're going out for recess.
- 19:14Speaker 2: Taylor, I'm sorry. I lost you there. You were saying
- 19:17Speaker 2: one of the most important things, and then this cell connection,
- 19:21Speaker 2: your phone dropped out. Yeah, I hear you now. Taylor?
- 19:26Speaker 4: Taylor?
- 19:27Speaker 20: Can you hear me?
- 19:28Speaker 2: Yes, I can hear you now. Can you? So jump
- 19:31Speaker 2: back to what you were saying, one of the most
- 19:33Speaker 2: important things, and then the phone cut out. It's like
- 19:36Speaker 2: they wait for those moments when somebody says, and the
- 19:38Speaker 2: most important thing, and then the phone goes out. It's
- 19:40Speaker 2: like that scene from Ocean's Eleven. But go back.
- 19:46Speaker 14: You got it.
- 19:46Speaker 20: So I would say one of the most important things
- 19:49Speaker 20: for our children, is really their ability to move. So
- 19:52Speaker 20: something that Old Navy does really well is their active wear.
- 19:54Speaker 20: So it doesn't matter if they're running around and doing
- 19:56Speaker 20: monkey bars at recess or they're going to PE class,
- 19:59Speaker 20: Old Navy is some of the best. They have a
- 20:02Speaker 20: ton of options in store. They have a different line.
- 20:04Speaker 20: So we have Bounce, Studio Smooth, Power Soft, and Dynamic
- 20:08Speaker 20: Lee Style. So they're promise you there's going to be
- 20:10Speaker 20: something for every mover. And then last but not least,
- 20:14Speaker 20: Old Navy really does a variety of knits and sweaters
- 20:18Speaker 20: for fall because those chilly temps are coming. And all
- 20:21Speaker 20: of these are those perfect items to round out your
- 20:23Speaker 20: back to school looks and make sure that our kids
- 20:25Speaker 20: are heading into the school year feeling confident, whether it's
- 20:28Speaker 20: graphics on tees or their new favorite score, whatever it is,
- 20:32Speaker 20: we're hoping that Old Navy can outfit them and really
- 20:35Speaker 20: boost their confidence this school year.
- 20:37Speaker 2: That's great. It sounds like a great deal. It's neat
- 20:40Speaker 2: to meet you. I've seen some of your work. I
- 20:42Speaker 2: did not know the connection. But then again, with a
- 20:45Speaker 2: name like Thomas, who can tell who you're related to
- 20:49Speaker 2: or Walker or something like that? So neat trip down
- 20:54Speaker 2: memory lane for me as well. And you have a
- 20:57Speaker 2: wonderful day. And how old are your kids? It can't
- 21:00Speaker 2: be more than like three or four.
- 21:02Speaker 20: They're actually five and eight. I feel like I'm now
- 21:05Speaker 20: what I can call a seasoned mom, but they're wonderful
- 21:08Speaker 20: and they love old baby.
- 21:09Speaker 2: Well, that's it. You go shopping with them and thank
- 21:12Speaker 2: you for the testimony here at Taylor Walker. And we'll
- 21:16Speaker 2: talk to you again very soon.

- 21:34Speaker 2: whole life. And, you know, I don't know why. It
- 21:37Speaker 2: was just, you know, the way he he decided he

- 22:05Speaker 1: That sounds like something to look into.
- 22:07Speaker 21: And that is MediShare. Maybe you've heard switching to MediShare
- 22:10Speaker 21: to pay for health care can save many families up
- 22:12Speaker 21: to 500 bucks a month.
- 22:14Speaker 2: And that is huge.
- 22:15Speaker 21: But it's also true that people are way more satisfied
- 22:18Speaker 21: after making the switch to the member satisfaction rate for
- 22:21Speaker 21: MediShare is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Double.
- 22:25Speaker 21: MediShare works too. It's been around for 30 years. Members

- 24:03Speaker 7: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 7: I'm Dr.
- 24:13Speaker 4: Mitch.
- 24:14Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 24:20Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 24:24Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 24:28Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 24:32Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 24:39Speaker 7: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 24:43Speaker 7: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 24:47Speaker 7: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 24:52Speaker 7: from radiation. TotalWellness.com where we help you to look good,

- 25:57Speaker 15: Oh, yeah?
- 25:57Speaker 22: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 25:59Speaker 16: And now a speech.
- 26:02Speaker 6: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 26:06Speaker 2: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 26:08Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
- 26:11Speaker 12: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
- 26:14Speaker 12: call me a ride.
- 26:15Speaker 17: Love that guy.
- 26:16Speaker 16: Me too.
- 26:17Speaker 18: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when

- 26:30Speaker 3: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills too.
- 26:34Speaker 3: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home

- 26:49Speaker 3: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 26:53Speaker 3: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 26:55Speaker 3: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 26:59Speaker 3: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 27:02Speaker 3: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 27:05Speaker 3: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.

- 28:52Speaker 2: We read Celie's. And then this one, Joel wrote in
- 29:00Speaker 2: monoclonal treatment. And I hope I'm pronouncing that right.
- 29:06Speaker 4: Gene.
- 29:07Speaker 2: Targeting cancer treatment and CRISPR. There's so many things, and
- 29:17Speaker 2: this is another one of those places where AI can
- 29:20Speaker 2: be a benefit, is sorting through medical treatments and clinical
- 29:26Speaker 2: trials that it would take a team of research analysts
- 29:32Speaker 2: a decade to go through. AI can sort through all
- 29:36Speaker 2: of it and find commonalities and all of a sudden
- 29:38Speaker 2: find a connection. that might actually lead to more breakthroughs. If, again, AI,
- 29:45Speaker 2: like any inanimate object, has got to be managed by
- 29:50Speaker 2: ethical people. Capitalism doesn't work if we're unethical. AI won't
- 29:57Speaker 2: work if we're unethical. Democracy, our American republic doesn't work
- 30:02Speaker 2: unless we're ethical. And I want to ask you again,
- 30:05Speaker 2: this is where the narrative has gone. This is how
- 30:07Speaker 2: you lose the narrative. The narrative. Because we talked about
- 30:35Speaker 2: how conservatives, after a while, start to become liberal. We
- 30:48Speaker 2: even made the point that by the end of his
- 30:54Speaker 2: days there in Arizona— Barry Goldwater had become, you know,
- 30:59Speaker 2: Barry Goldwater made Barry Sotero, a.k.a. Barack Obama, look conservative.
- 31:07Speaker 2: Because after a time you decide maybe the fight's just
- 31:10Speaker 2: not in you anymore. You listen to Marjorie Taylor Greene,
- 31:19Speaker 2: who is one of the best at using parliamentary procedure.
- 31:27Speaker 2: to advance conservative principles, even when the conservatives weren't in
- 31:32Speaker 2: the majority, has given up on it because it doesn't
- 31:36Speaker 2: benefit her to be a conservative anymore. She'd rather delve
- 31:41Speaker 2: into the cronyist America. And this lurks outside of every door.
- 31:51Speaker 2: And I was approached by somebody who's heard me in
- 31:54Speaker 2: the past say Can you point to someplace our immigration
- 32:01Speaker 2: system is broken? And then we can begin the discussion
- 32:11Speaker 2: as to how do we fix it. You can't fix
- 32:15Speaker 2: something until you know what's broken. It was like my
- 32:17Speaker 2: conversation with Dr. Portell. He couldn't fix my lymphoma until
- 32:27Speaker 2: he diagnosed my lymphoma. So you can't fix something until
- 32:34Speaker 2: you know what's wrong with it. So I've said for
- 32:36Speaker 2: years now, show me where America's immigration system is broken.
- 32:43Speaker 2: And this ties in Virginia's Governor Spanberger at the March
- 32:47Speaker 2: for Free Stuff. What was the march called? Was the
- 32:51Speaker 2: March for Marxism or something like that?
- 32:56Speaker 10: The 75th governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
- 32:59Speaker 2: Oh, boy, does their time.
- 33:01Speaker 10: Returned home and simply wanted the dignity of being able
- 33:06Speaker 10: to fully participate in our democracy. The right to vote
- 33:11Speaker 10: is about more than a ballot. It's about whether we
- 33:14Speaker 10: believe that every person should have a voice in our democracy.
- 33:17Speaker 2: And I do every person. We play that ad nauseum
- 33:23Speaker 2: on Monday's program. And I'm not going to subject you
- 33:26Speaker 2: to too much more of it. Otherwise, you'll probably need
- 33:28Speaker 2: some of Sealy's CBD oil. By the way, MesaBirdieHemp.com. Presence.
- 33:40Speaker 2: You should have a vote because you're here. And this
- 33:43Speaker 2: was sent to me by a listener, Terry, who said, Joe,
- 33:46Speaker 2: you asked if there was.
- 33:49Speaker 2: Something broken in America's immigration system. I just saw a
- 33:54Speaker 2: piece with this lawyer who says there is. Take a
- 33:57Speaker 2: look at what he says. So he's written a book.
- 34:04Speaker 2: It's called A Common Sense Plant. And if you're going
- 34:07Speaker 2: to write a book and title it A Common Sense Anything,
- 34:13Speaker 2: I am immediately going to believe you're a Marxist plant.
- 34:17Speaker 2: I don't care what you say. You could have every
- 34:19Speaker 2: book ever written by Russell Kirk sitting on a bookshelf
- 34:22Speaker 2: behind you. Doesn't mean you read them or believed them.
- 34:29Speaker 2: Fixing Immigration in America is the full title of his book.
- 34:33Speaker 2: A Common Sense Plan for Immigration Reform. And I thought, okay, well,
- 34:39Speaker 2: here's a guy who may be at least trying to
- 34:41Speaker 2: point to something that is wrong. Do you know what
- 34:46Speaker 2: he says is wrong? His name is Coughlin. The central
- 34:58Speaker 2: problem with America's immigration system is that the law itself
- 35:03Speaker 2: can prevent people who have lived and worked in the
- 35:06Speaker 2: United States for decades from obtaining legal status. That's one
- 35:12Speaker 2: of those phrases the left loves. Even when they want
- 35:16Speaker 2: to follow the rules. And I was suggested that I
- 35:22Speaker 2: invite him on the program. I don't know if I
- 35:24Speaker 2: could make it five minutes with him. Even when they
- 35:29Speaker 2: want to follow the rules now, as opposed to the
- 35:33Speaker 2: decades earlier when they broke them. You know, so Mr. Coughlin,
- 35:38Speaker 2: as well-meaning as he is as an immigration attorney, and
- 35:42Speaker 2: I wonder how much, you know, La Raza and these
- 35:46Speaker 2: places pay this guy. But he still hasn't shown me
- 35:54Speaker 2: why the folks who wanted to emigrate to this country
- 35:59Speaker 2: and snuck in against the law, broke the law, couldn't
- 36:04Speaker 2: have applied legally the first time. He goes on to
- 36:16Speaker 2: write millions of. long-term immigrant residents are already living in
- 36:23Speaker 2: our communities. Ah, here's the answer then. So if somebody
- 36:28Speaker 2: steals my car and they have it for more than
- 36:31Speaker 2: a month, it's theirs? If I go away on vacation
- 36:35Speaker 2: and I come back and find somebody living in my house,
- 36:38Speaker 2: it's theirs? I know, in Florida, that was what was happening.
- 36:43Speaker 2: I understand that there are states that have bad squatters
- 36:48Speaker 2: laws but that's what you're saying is if I steal
- 36:52Speaker 2: something from you and do it long enough I should
- 36:56Speaker 2: just be allowed to go does that count for murder
- 37:05Speaker 2: if I've murdered somebody in the 60s and I've gotten
- 37:10Speaker 2: away with it to this point I should be able
- 37:15Speaker 2: to cop a walk I shouldn't get punished for it.
- 37:22Speaker 2: But this is what happens. This is being promoted as
- 37:25Speaker 2: a conservative answer to our immigration issue. Does that sound
- 37:33Speaker 2: at all conservative to you? Of course not. But because
- 37:37Speaker 2: the guy presents himself as a conservative immigration attorney, apparently
- 37:45Speaker 2: shows like this one are gobbling this guy's biosolids up
- 37:49Speaker 2: like crazy. I'm sorry, I have a few questions for
- 37:58Speaker 2: the author before he comes on this program.
- 38:01Speaker 12: In 2024, the American Heart Association celebrates 100 years of

- 38:13Speaker 12: in the United States each year than all types of

- 38:18Speaker 12: of this fact, according to a recent Harris Poll survey
- 38:21Speaker 12: conducted for the American Heart Association. However, the majority of

- 41:24Speaker 15: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:28Speaker 15: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:33Speaker 15: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
- 41:36Speaker 15: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
- 41:41Speaker 23: Eat better.

- 41:50Speaker 2: My name is Jim. I'm a veteran, and I lost
- 41:53Speaker 2: both legs in Vietnam. My victory was proving that a
- 41:56Speaker 2: disability is not a limitation.
- 41:58Speaker 1: I'm Julius.
- 41:59Speaker 2: I'm a veteran.
- 42:00Speaker 1: My victory was going from homeless to home.

- 42:52Speaker 23: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
- 42:55Speaker 23: first date?
- 42:56Speaker 5: Sure. We'll probably stay together.
- 42:58Speaker 6: Probably?
- 42:59Speaker 22: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
- 43:03Speaker 2: I can probably swim.
- 43:05Speaker 22: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
- 43:08Speaker 2: Okay, don't tell me what to do.

- 43:24Speaker 23: Can I get a mulligan?
- 43:26Speaker 1: Ready to go?
- 43:27Speaker 23: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 43:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:35Speaker 22: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking

- 44:12Speaker 1: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 44:21Speaker 2: Ah, it's Ted's day morning. Thank you for letting me
- 44:24Speaker 2: be of service to you. I appreciate everyone's attention.
- 44:29Speaker 1: I'm coming home.
- 44:32Speaker 20: Just leave the lights on.
- 44:36Speaker 2: I like this one from Jack, who is listening W.G.O.W.A.M.
- 44:41Speaker 2: down in Chattanooga. He says, Joe, these guys make me crazy.
- 44:46Speaker 2: They show up with the most liberal ideas, yet they
- 44:50Speaker 2: hang the name conservative around their neck. Can there be
- 44:53Speaker 2: some sort of lawsuit? like truth in advertising kind of thing.
- 44:58Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 44:59Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe we could go after them the way deceptive labeling.
- 45:03Speaker 2: You know, you go after these breakfast cereals that say
- 45:06Speaker 2: healthy on it when it's just a pile of sugar
- 45:10Speaker 2: or something like that. Maybe. Maybe that's a way to
- 45:12Speaker 2: do it. But understand, he's doing it to sell his book.
- 45:15Speaker 2: So he wants to get on the Abbey Normal show
- 45:18Speaker 2: on CNN or on The View or something like that.
- 45:22Speaker 2: So he'll send his book to all these shows saying,
- 45:27Speaker 2: interview a conservative lawyer about immigration reform. They'll leave it.
- 45:31Speaker 2: We go, Oh, this guy's great. And he's conservative and
- 45:34Speaker 2: he's making our case for us. So yeah, you're of
- 45:37Speaker 2: every right to be frustrated with this guy. Um, who's
- 45:40Speaker 2: out there pitching this woo, uh, for it. Uh, but
- 45:44Speaker 2: that's what they do now. And it's not even like
- 45:46Speaker 2: he's trying to, he's, it's not like what's her face. Um, uh,
- 45:53Speaker 2: Not Rose McGowan, Lee McGowan, you know, who was out
- 45:59Speaker 2: there trying to, you know, get herself, you know, read
- 46:02Speaker 2: from the script at the CHICOM Center. Do we still
- 46:05Speaker 2: have the McGowan clip on capitalism being broken?
- 46:09Speaker 3: Many years.
- 46:10Speaker 8: Yes, and unfortunately capitalism is not working like that anymore
- 46:13Speaker 8: for most of the country. We have got to a
- 46:15Speaker 8: place where we have deregulated everything so much that only
- 46:18Speaker 8: a certain handful of people are actually succeeding in this
- 46:21Speaker 8: version of capitalism.
- 46:23Speaker 2: And I would still like somebody who has studied even
- 46:26Speaker 2: the high school level economics to say how making something
- 46:30Speaker 2: unregulated concentrates the power in the hands of a few.
- 46:34Speaker 8: We have gone from laissez-faire capitalism to like a predatory capitalism.
- 46:38Speaker 2: Predatory capitalism. So if I have a farm and I
- 46:42Speaker 2: sell you some watermelon, I'm preying upon you. That's her idea.
- 46:46Speaker 8: And where we are right now, and I've said this
- 46:48Speaker 8: a million times, is like when you play Monopoly and
- 46:51Speaker 8: somebody has all of the hotels on the whole board,
- 46:53Speaker 8: and it doesn't matter if you're playing the game right.
- 46:55Speaker 8: It doesn't matter if you're doing what you're supposed to do.
- 46:56Speaker 8: It doesn't matter if you get the education. If you
- 46:58Speaker 8: get the job, you are still always going to lose.
- 47:01Speaker 2: Always going to lose. Like economics is a win and
- 47:05Speaker 2: a loss thing. First off, They paid for those hotels,
- 47:08Speaker 2: which means they worked for those hotels. They got the
- 47:11Speaker 2: money for those hotels. And there's nothing in the game
- 47:18Speaker 2: of Monopoly that says if you have an education, you
- 47:20Speaker 2: get more dice tosses or something like that. Her analogy
- 47:26Speaker 2: is just awful. But then again, that's what you get
- 47:28Speaker 2: when your script is written in Beijing. They don't understand
- 47:31Speaker 2: the idiom, I guess. We get to you at 434-882-4217,
- 47:37Speaker 2: wrapping things nice and snugly up this morning. Who's this?
- 47:40Speaker 14: It's Andy. Just wanted to just let you know that
- 47:45Speaker 14: we're out here fighting for you.
- 47:47Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you know, this is the thing, but
- 47:48Speaker 2: you understand economics better than anyone I know because you've
- 47:52Speaker 2: signed the front of a paycheck, but you're also hardcore.
- 47:56Speaker 2: And I mean, to the core of Liberal economics.
- 48:01Speaker 14: The rules of probably 16 different states and never once knowingly,
- 48:08Speaker 14: and I say that knowingly, just violated whatever rules there were.
- 48:14Speaker 14: I was a rule follower in the various states.
- 48:17Speaker 2: But is there anything?
- 48:19Speaker 14: Some states are really dependent upon sales tax, for instance.
- 48:23Speaker 4: Okay.
- 48:24Speaker 14: And there are people I will go and pick up, like, posts, like,
- 48:29Speaker 14: things that.
- 48:32Speaker 2: For building your tracks. There are people who don't want to.
- 48:35Speaker 18: Well, no, no.
- 48:35Speaker 14: I'm talking about now.
- 48:37Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
- 48:38Speaker 14: I'm a pretty serious art collector. And I will go
- 48:41Speaker 14: to places and I won't do business with an entity
- 48:46Speaker 14: that doesn't collect the sales tax. And the people in these,
- 48:51Speaker 14: like the auction places and the warehouses, they're all trying
- 48:56Speaker 14: to avoid tax.
- 48:58Speaker 2: Oh, I see what you're saying. They're liberals, but they
- 49:01Speaker 2: want to avoid taxes. That's funny, isn't it? Not really.
- 49:05Speaker 14: I mean, they're pseudo-communists, I guess. You know, Florida does
- 49:14Speaker 14: use the sales tax and a little bit of real
- 49:17Speaker 14: estate tax. There's no income. tax here. Wyoming is an
- 49:23Speaker 14: interesting case, too. And what they have is no corporate tax.
- 49:30Speaker 2: Either, which is kind of an interesting thing.
- 49:33Speaker 14: But, you know, they'll make it up in whatever way.
- 49:38Speaker 2: I mean, this is why I say to me the
- 49:41Speaker 2: only form of transparent taxation is if I receive an
- 49:45Speaker 2: invoice from the state and the city that I live
- 49:48Speaker 2: in and the federal government once. It doesn't even have
- 49:51Speaker 2: to be once a month. Once a quarter saying here
- 49:54Speaker 2: is your contribution to the federal government based on this.
- 49:59Speaker 2: Because I think the 16th Amendment violates the 5th on
- 50:02Speaker 2: its face. Nobody wants to take that case up. I
- 50:07Speaker 2: don't have a problem with the government needing taxes to
- 50:10Speaker 2: do its business. It's just like the Fifth Amendment says,
- 50:13Speaker 2: in order for me to give up my property, my money,
- 50:17Speaker 2: I need due process. You need to tell me what
- 50:21Speaker 2: you need this for and let me get through the
- 50:25Speaker 2: process of figuring out whether I want to give it
- 50:27Speaker 2: to you or not.
- 50:30Speaker 14: You're exactly right. And it's... You know, I've been thinking about, like,
- 50:35Speaker 14: spending some time in Kentucky, but the rules or the
- 50:41Speaker 14: laws up there are so, like, anti-Tennessee and anti-Florida.
- 50:49Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. It's crazy.
- 50:51Speaker 14: They have a lot of these unions that are still involved.
- 50:55Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
- 50:56Speaker 14: I mean, seriously, unions, that kind of stuff. You know,
- 51:00Speaker 14: and it's like, you know, and so... I have a
- 51:06Speaker 14: lot of Kentucky-centric fine art, for instance. And I'm going
- 51:13Speaker 14: to do sort of a variation of loans and whatnot
- 51:17Speaker 14: and gifts to kind of balance out the tax aspects
- 51:21Speaker 14: of things, which are enormous if you leverage them properly.
- 51:28Speaker 2: Right. I understand that. Go school up.
- 51:33Speaker 14: On some kind of trade, if you will. I mean,
- 51:38Speaker 14: you have one son that was a baker and became
- 51:42Speaker 14: an auto mechanic, right? I mean, he's got serious skills
- 51:48Speaker 14: that will.
- 51:49Speaker 2: Always be sold for something. And he understands how steam
- 51:54Speaker 2: generators work, which is going to be key for me
- 51:56Speaker 2: when the EMP fires. I've got to run, Andy, but
- 52:00Speaker 2: our time is running short here.
- 52:02Speaker 14: Hey, we're, you know, just keep doing it.
- 52:04Speaker 2: I appreciate it, sir.
- 52:05Speaker 14: I set my alarm for 4.52 every morning.
- 52:07Speaker 2: Well, I'm sure early to bed, early arise, just like
- 52:10Speaker 2: Ben Franklin said.
- 52:12Speaker 9: Wow.
- 52:12Speaker 14: I mean, it's the only reason I get up is
- 52:14Speaker 14: because that's when you're on.
- 52:16Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate it, sir. And I'm here for you guys.
- 52:19Speaker 2: So the last point is... If you stop aiding a
- 52:24Speaker 2: bunch of murderers who sit now in Kremlin and whom
- 52:27Speaker 2: President Reagan respectfully calls government.
- 52:32Speaker 2: That's what it is. We will do it again tomorrow,
- 52:43Speaker 2: 5 Eastern, another Ted's D in the books. I'm Joe Thomas.
- 52:47Speaker 2: So long and thanks for all the fish.
- 52:51Speaker 12: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
- 52:53Speaker 12: compression of spinal nerves, according to Dr. Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
- 52:57Speaker 12: California-based chiropractor with more than 30 years of experience. This
- 53:01Speaker 12: compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury, or
- 53:05Speaker 12: simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
- 53:09Speaker 12: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
- 53:12Speaker 12: the neck and back, Dr. Fisher explains. His inventions, the
- 53:16Speaker 12: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device,
- 53:20Speaker 12: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
- 53:24Speaker 12: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
- 53:27Speaker 12: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
- 53:30Speaker 12: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
- 53:33Speaker 12: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
- 53:36Speaker 12: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home.
- 53:38Speaker 17: And Dr.
- 53:39Speaker 12: Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos and detailed instructions.
