"Project Censored?" (Christmas Eve, December 24 2025, Hour 4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:02
Speaker 1: From the home of the First Amendment. First thing today.
0:26
Speaker 2: I have a question for those in the marketing world.
0:30
Speaker 2: Riddle me this.
0:33
Speaker 3: If you think attracting attention to yourself or your client's
0:38
Speaker 3: advertisement is important because it is bottom line what you do,
0:44
Speaker 3: but in doing so, it renders my technology completely useless.
0:50
Speaker 3: For you know, what seems like an interminal amount of
0:55
Speaker 3: period while we clear out all the different things that
0:59
Speaker 3: you're cce advertisement requires to tell me about whatever baked
1:04
Speaker 3: goods they're selling. Why do you think that would encourage
1:08
Speaker 3: me to buy anything from them?
1:12
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just saying the same. I mean, is
1:16
Speaker 2: being a nuisance a selling point? Now? Gosh, you know,
1:23
Speaker 2: I was just born too few years late. I just.
1:28
Speaker 3: I thought you wanted to be helpful to people, and
1:31
Speaker 3: that was the way, say. I guess being a nuisance,
1:35
Speaker 3: stopping everything to demand attention for yourself that that must work.
1:40
Speaker 2: Now, I know what works.
1:42
Speaker 3: In politics, I should codify, But I mean, just in
1:46
Speaker 3: general purpose advertising, I thought, you know, the whole idea
1:52
Speaker 3: was to make your commercials enjoyable enough to sit through
1:59
Speaker 3: the whole premise behind all the insurance companies and why
2:03
Speaker 3: nobody writes good comedy for Saturday Night Live anymore, because
2:06
Speaker 3: they're all writing absurdities for the various insurance companies to
2:11
Speaker 3: make their some somehow their insurance seem different than one another.
2:16
Speaker 3: Someday I want to see a cage match between Doug
2:21
Speaker 3: and Flow by the way Apropos of Nothing, and maybe
2:28
Speaker 3: you know a tag team the little nebish that hangs
2:33
Speaker 3: out with Flow, I forget what his name is, the
2:37
Speaker 3: unimportant non Flow in the Progressive commercial, and Limu the EMU,
2:45
Speaker 3: and let them all go at it in a big
2:47
Speaker 3: cage match.
2:48
Speaker 2: Some folding chairs.
2:50
Speaker 3: Bring Vince McMahon out from hydroponic you know, stasis wherever
2:55
Speaker 3: he is right now.
2:58
Speaker 2: That would be fun for me. If can somebody, can you.
3:01
Speaker 3: Get chat GPT to make that an animation, that'd be
3:08
Speaker 3: fun to see. I mean, if we're gonna have AI,
3:12
Speaker 3: if we're going to have artificial intelligence, let's use AI
3:16
Speaker 3: for some good's. Let's have Dug and Flow in a
3:23
Speaker 3: cage match World Wrestling Federation style with the little Guy
3:28
Speaker 3: and EMU in their corners as tag team.
3:33
Speaker 2: I think that works for me. What about you.
3:41
Speaker 3: Just nuisance advertising, Well, we're gonna hang up everything else
3:45
Speaker 3: you're gonna do, so you might as well just watch
3:47
Speaker 3: our commercial. Damn straight. I ain't gonna buy anything from you.
3:51
Speaker 3: I don't care how much I need insurance. I'll go
3:53
Speaker 3: find mine somewhere else. Our first things on this Christmas
3:57
Speaker 3: eve Day. Yeah, it's a pleasant thought on Christmas Eve.
4:00
Speaker 3: You're a birth of our Savior, and I'm annoyed at commercials.
4:04
Speaker 3: Wait to be a good example, Joe, what we said.
4:08
Speaker 3: You can either be a good example or a terrible warning.
4:12
Speaker 3: Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration's request for permission to
4:17
Speaker 3: continue deploying National Guards troops into Chicago. The Supreme Court
4:24
Speaker 3: majority ruling states, at this preliminary stage, the government has
4:28
Speaker 3: failed to identify a source of authority that would allow
4:31
Speaker 3: the military to execute Illinois law. The administration was pointing
4:38
Speaker 3: to a law that allowed the president to call into
4:43
Speaker 3: action National Guards troops to suppress rebellion, repel invasion, or
4:49
Speaker 3: if he is unable with regular forces, to execute the
4:52
Speaker 3: laws of the United States. Trump administration will begin garnishing
5:02
Speaker 3: the wages of student loan borrowers in default by starting
5:06
Speaker 3: in January. With a thousand defaulted borrowers starting to get garnishments.
5:12
Speaker 3: The notices will increase in scale on a month to
5:15
Speaker 3: month basis, the Department of Education said via a statement.
5:21
Speaker 3: President Trump says the US plans to keep the millions
5:24
Speaker 3: of barrels of oil and the two tankers that were
5:27
Speaker 3: seized as they tried to sneak out of Venezuela and
5:30
Speaker 3: Ports earlier this month. Maybe we'll sell it, the President said.
5:34
Speaker 3: Maybe we'll keep it, maybe we'll use it in the
5:36
Speaker 3: strategic reserves.
5:37
Speaker 2: We're keeping it. We're keeping the ships.
5:40
Speaker 3: Also, Denmark pushed back on the President's renewed interest that
5:48
Speaker 3: they say he has in Greenland after he named Louisiana
5:51
Speaker 3: Governor Jeff Landry as the administration's special envoy to the territory.
5:57
Speaker 3: They he said the Danish Foreign Minister, that is Rasmussen
6:01
Speaker 3: said in a Facebook post, President Trump's announcement about the
6:04
Speaker 3: appointment of a special envoy to Greenland, and in particular
6:09
Speaker 3: it's statements about the purpose thereby, is completely unacceptable. That's
6:14
Speaker 3: why we're now convening the US Ambassador to the Department
6:18
Speaker 3: of State for a discussion. And those are some of
6:22
Speaker 3: our first things for this Christmas Eve morning. Now we
6:28

Speaker 8: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
8:07
Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
8:13
Speaker 8: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:18
Speaker 8: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:22
Speaker 8: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:27
Speaker 8: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:32
Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:37
Speaker 8: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
Speaker 8: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
Speaker 8: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
Speaker 8: healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

Speaker 10: Hiverybody, I'm Jack. It's always a boy.
10:01
Speaker 11: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
10:03
Speaker 11: with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
10:06
Speaker 11: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
10:08
Speaker 11: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
10:11
Speaker 11: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young
10:14
Speaker 11: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
10:17
Speaker 11: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
10:20
Speaker 11: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
10:23
Speaker 11: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
10:25
Speaker 11: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
10:29
Speaker 11: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
10:32
Speaker 11: they also perform life saving work every day.
10:35
Speaker 10: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
10:36
Speaker 11: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
10:39
Speaker 11: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
10:42
Speaker 11: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
10:44
Speaker 11: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
10:47
Speaker 11: in need. So please join me an American Humane and
10:50

11:07

11:10
Speaker 9: heart and brain.
11:12
Speaker 10: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 14: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
11:15
Speaker 14: brain is saying when it's time to go home.

Speaker 2: Somebody call me a ride.
11:19
Speaker 15: Love that guy, me too.
11:21
Speaker 4: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when.
11:24

11:25
Speaker 4: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:27
Speaker 6: Who did you know that more than half our household
11:31

Speaker 1: Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
13:21
Speaker 3: On this Christmas Eve Day, I'm getting back to some
13:26
Speaker 3: of your interactions with the program because you can do
13:29
Speaker 3: it by text message, because I know what mornings are like.
13:32
Speaker 2: Even Christmas Eve Day mornings. It winds up be ves.
13:37
Speaker 2: Christmas Eve Morning.
13:43
Speaker 3: Grabs even more so for many people it's like, oh man,
13:46
Speaker 3: I gotta get.
13:47
Speaker 2: To five below. Stuff the stocking.
13:51
Speaker 3: Just remember the stocking stuffers are different than the turkey stuffers.
13:55
Speaker 2: Don't make that mistake. It's the voice of Spurts.
14:04
Speaker 3: But one of our favorite segments every month is to
14:09
Speaker 3: take a look into what's going on in the world
14:11
Speaker 3: of cancer treatment, cancer management UVA Health.
14:15
Speaker 2: And you know it's a story that still to this day.
14:18
Speaker 3: Twenty years ago I met a fella came to the
14:21
Speaker 3: Charlottesville area and there was a legend in the area.
14:24
Speaker 3: Some would say I have been around long enough to
14:27
Speaker 3: be considered in the same breath, but I don't think so.
14:30
Speaker 3: For the amount of time Dick Mountjoy had spent around
14:33
Speaker 3: the area, and when I first met him, he had
14:36
Speaker 3: just fallen prey to esophageal cancer and had had his
14:42
Speaker 3: tongue and.
14:44
Speaker 2: Larynx taken out.
14:46
Speaker 3: And if you do what I do for a living,
14:49
Speaker 3: I can't think of a more Rod Serling esque nightmare
14:54
Speaker 3: than that. And I mean it was I couldn't sleep
14:57
Speaker 3: for several nights after. I'm just thinking about it. But
15:00
Speaker 3: to join us to talk about what happens after that
15:04
Speaker 3: and you know, and how to manage it, doctor Fowler
15:09
Speaker 3: from the Cancer Center at the University of Virginia, and
15:13
Speaker 3: I appreciate it. It's how people can you know after a
15:18
Speaker 3: tracheatomy or a liarons ectomy. Certainly it is an extreme
15:23
Speaker 3: case of how to treat the cancers in the throat
15:26
Speaker 3: and head and neck. Doctor Nicole Fower, Welcome Merry Christmas evening.
15:31
Speaker 3: I know it's not a pleasant subject, but when a
15:33
Speaker 3: lot of folks deal with around Christmas time.
15:37
Speaker 17: Well, thank you so much for having me on. I
15:39
Speaker 17: really want to thank you for allowing me to have
15:43
Speaker 17: this platform to speak about and as you said, it's
15:46
Speaker 17: not a pleasant topic and hopefully not a lot of
15:50
Speaker 17: your listeners have to think about it. But when we
15:53
Speaker 17: come together with our families, one of the things that
15:56
Speaker 17: we do is we catch up. We spend all of
16:00
Speaker 17: this time talking, right, we spend all this time coming
16:03
Speaker 17: together and sharing all the stories of what we've been
16:06
Speaker 17: doing since the last time we were together. And imagine
16:11
Speaker 17: that time being isolated, not being able to talk. And
16:19
Speaker 17: that's really what happens if you have something that occurred
16:24
Speaker 17: that made you lose your voice.
16:27
Speaker 3: So what what is I mean? It sounds like technology
16:30
Speaker 3: is coming to the aid. When I met mister Mountjoy,
16:34
Speaker 3: he was using pen and paper to communicate and it
16:38
Speaker 3: had its clunks. But you know with patients, I mean,
16:41
Speaker 3: if you were if you wanted to talk to him,
16:43
Speaker 3: you wanted to talk to him, so you are patient.
16:45
Speaker 3: But so what what breakthroughs in technology are helping to
16:50
Speaker 3: this end?
16:52
Speaker 17: So the first is the phone, Right, we now carry
16:57
Speaker 17: a computer with us everywhere we go. So the smartphone
17:01
Speaker 17: has made a large advance because you can use the
17:06
Speaker 17: text to talk apps and people. Instead of having to
17:09
Speaker 17: write everything out, you can very quickly text what you're
17:13
Speaker 17: trying to say, and then the phone can talk for
17:16
Speaker 17: you what you were going to communicate.
17:20
Speaker 3: Interesting, I hadn't thought about you using that, you know,
17:25
Speaker 3: so you can. Actually that's not even something you have
17:28
Speaker 3: to teach a smartphone to do. That's not like going
17:31
Speaker 3: in and finding a bespoke app. I think a lot
17:33
Speaker 3: of phones do that automatically, don't they correct.
17:37
Speaker 17: And this isn't just our cancer patients. I mean, these
17:40
Speaker 17: are patients who have had strokes that maybe have to
17:43
Speaker 17: have a trake, or someone who had trauma a car
17:48
Speaker 17: accident that ended up having to have a trake, or
17:50
Speaker 17: an als patient, and so it's it's a much wider population.
17:58
Speaker 17: But what happens is that patients don't necessarily want that
18:02
Speaker 17: robotic voice, right. I mean now nowadays, I literally had
18:08
Speaker 17: my phone the other day ask if it wanted to
18:10
Speaker 17: give me directions in the sound of Santa, so you
18:13
Speaker 17: know we can have it, right, I mean.
18:17
Speaker 3: They're getting a little too conversational. My wife had had
18:20
Speaker 3: heard GPS say, Okay, after the next corner, you're going
18:24
Speaker 3: to turn right. I mean, this is a little too
18:26
Speaker 3: much like they're sitting in the car with you.
18:30
Speaker 17: It's a little crazy. I don't necessarily need Santa riding
18:34
Speaker 17: in the car with me.
18:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, but well get the point. I guess if you can,
18:38
Speaker 2: you can't, right, you know, bunny.
18:41
Speaker 17: But for these patients, what if they wanted their own voice?
18:46
Speaker 14: Right?
18:46
Speaker 17: What if?
18:47
Speaker 5: So?
18:48
Speaker 2: What's what?
18:48
Speaker 17: The latest technology, which I think is so powerful, is
18:53
Speaker 17: if you have voice recordings of your own voice prior
18:57
Speaker 17: to when whatever happened to you. So if it is cancer,
19:01
Speaker 17: we want voice recordings from before you had your cancer,
19:05
Speaker 17: so that they were normal voice recordings.
19:07
Speaker 10: You can actually.
19:08
Speaker 17: Send it in and and now you can have your
19:12
Speaker 17: own voice be what's reading the text messages?
19:16
Speaker 2: Oh that's that's all.
19:18
Speaker 3: I don't know if that would be weird or not,
19:22
Speaker 3: but I know how it would be liberating for somebody
19:25
Speaker 3: who couldn't speak on their own.
19:28
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and it's not.
19:31
Speaker 17: I mean it may never be perfect. We all know
19:33
Speaker 17: how you know, it can mistake the words.
19:37
Speaker 3: I kind of hope that it's never perfect because because
19:41
Speaker 3: if it's never perfect, who will know if there's been
19:43
Speaker 3: a bloodless coup on this radio show. I mean, there's
19:47
Speaker 3: decades worth of recordings of my voice. And the next
19:50
Speaker 3: thing they know, I find out my daughter is running
19:52
Speaker 3: the show and I'm tied up in a basement somewhere.
19:56
Speaker 3: But you know, so the the but the point is
20:00
Speaker 3: that as a liberating tool, this can be powerful. You
20:06
Speaker 3: talk about I guess the human interface modes or uh,
20:10
Speaker 3: you know, a smartphone. You have to be able to
20:13
Speaker 3: type in obviously on it, but can you use other
20:16
Speaker 3: technology to enter.
20:19
Speaker 2: The text? You want these technologies to speak.
20:23
Speaker 17: Yeah, So if you have a patient, for example, who
20:28
Speaker 17: has als or you know, who is really on able
20:35
Speaker 17: to communicate in any other way, you can do this
20:38
Speaker 17: on a computer, you can do this. I have patients
20:41
Speaker 17: who will write out not using their computer, you know,
20:46
Speaker 17: not using their phone, but on a computer, app on,
20:50
Speaker 17: you know, on any form of technology, and they'll provide
20:54
Speaker 17: me with what they want for their whole visit. You know,
20:57
Speaker 17: here's the questions that they have, here's everything kind of predetermined.
21:03
Speaker 17: And then when they come in, they hit play and
21:06
Speaker 17: it plays for me the dialogue. Now we're then able
21:09
Speaker 17: to have a conversation that's much shorter off of what
21:14
Speaker 17: they've already pre come up with, but it saves that
21:19
Speaker 17: time of the initial Here's how I'm doing?
21:22
Speaker 2: Right?
21:23
Speaker 17: It's almost like when you go to your famili's and
21:25
Speaker 17: everyone the very first question out of everyone's mouse, that's
21:28

22:00
Speaker 18: Be looking forward for let's see if something costs less
22:03
Speaker 18: but people are happier with it, that sounds like something
22:06
Speaker 18: to look into, and that is meta share. Maybe you've
22:09
Speaker 18: heard switching to meta share to pay for healthcare can
22:11
Speaker 18: save many families up to five hundred bucks a month,
22:14
Speaker 18: and that is huge, but it's also true that people
22:16
Speaker 18: are way more satisfied after making the switch too. The
22:19
Speaker 18: members satisfaction rate for Meta share is double that of
22:23
Speaker 18: the typical health insurance plan. Double Meta Share works too.

Speaker 3: heart but also not take lightly those things that do
29:41
Speaker 3: transpire in front of us. Kareem wrote incorrectly pointing out
29:46
Speaker 3: and my apologies for this, that technically Ruby Ridge, you know,
29:52
Speaker 3: and I always do this, so you know, late ninety
29:56
Speaker 3: two is Ruby Ridge, that's still Bush. But Waco, and
30:04
Speaker 3: to be fair, Waco was much more about child endangerment.
30:07
Speaker 3: That was their premise when they went into Waco and
30:10
Speaker 3: burned down the Branch Davidians, was to spare the children because.
30:15
Speaker 2: There were allegations.
30:17
Speaker 3: I remember the story, you know, of the Branch Davidian
30:20
Speaker 3: compound in nineteen ninety three. It was on the air
30:23
Speaker 3: doing it, you know, trying to trying to fit stories
30:26
Speaker 3: like that into a hot hits shock jock radio show.
30:33
Speaker 3: I vaguely remember somebody doing a bit about a raid
30:38
Speaker 3: on Joe's house. I mean, you know, until it went sideways,
30:42
Speaker 3: you know, that's you know, it was fun in games
30:45
Speaker 3: because we were like, why are they what's a what's
30:48
Speaker 3: a Davidian? What's oh? And you know you're getting the
30:53
Speaker 3: phone calls about Seventh Day Adventists and this side and
30:57
Speaker 3: that side, and I was just trying to be a
30:59
Speaker 3: shock jocket the time. And I think at some point
31:02
Speaker 3: we had you know, I didn't come in, and it
31:06
Speaker 3: was because the FBI had surrounded my house because I
31:11
Speaker 3: had something, you know, my behavior was weird enough, and
31:15
Speaker 3: they decided that I was endangering my kids. And then
31:18
Speaker 3: of course when the shooting started in the burning.
31:20
Speaker 2: I mean, we.
31:21
Speaker 3: Shelved all that because you know, taste. But the point
31:28
Speaker 3: remains that, you know, in the in the case of
31:31
Speaker 3: let's hear two allegations of child abuse coming into the
31:36
Speaker 3: same FBI headed up by the same Attorney general, and
31:43
Speaker 3: one is ignored and one isn't. I mean capital I isn't.
31:51
Speaker 3: And then you see the pictures of the president, the
31:55
Speaker 3: boss of the Attorney general in the hot tub with
31:58
Speaker 3: the guy who's out. Allegations were being made in nineteen
32:03
Speaker 3: ninety six about this, and this is a bigger issue.
32:08
Speaker 2: Than oh you tagged Bill Clinton in it. Well, we
32:11
Speaker 2: tagged Donald.
32:12
Speaker 3: Trump and it it's if you're a politician you find
32:19
Speaker 3: out one of your big campaign fundraisers was running a
32:27
Speaker 3: Ponzi scheme?
32:28
Speaker 2: What do you do?
32:29
Speaker 3: Do you help them stay out of trouble. That's certainly,
32:34
Speaker 3: you know, a Christian belief, as you help your brother out,
32:40
Speaker 3: or do you at least be honest about it, because
32:42
Speaker 3: what is help.
32:46
Speaker 2: At the end of the day, what is really help
32:48
Speaker 2: is help allowing somebody to ignore the problem, or is
32:53
Speaker 2: help making somebody face up to it and fix their
32:59
Speaker 2: errant way? Good morning, you're on the air with Joe Thomas.
33:05
Speaker 23: First thing this morning, Good morning triggered a little something
33:10
Speaker 23: at eight forty this morning. I'm not sure what it was.
33:14
Speaker 23: I'm not so anyway, early Merry Christmas to you guys.
33:22
Speaker 23: I'm glad that Joel's feeling a little better.
33:25
Speaker 2: Well, we all, I think we all need that sometimes.
33:28
Speaker 23: So the the other thing that I find interesting is
33:34
Speaker 23: the LaVoi Finicum case, which was very very much like
33:41
Speaker 23: Ruby Riggs and the Branch Davidian things.
33:45
Speaker 2: And this is just you know, overreached.
33:48
Speaker 23: By our federal government. Well it need to help out
33:52
Speaker 23: his you know, his friend who hit you know, been
33:59
Speaker 23: just not the renters' rightsn't been there for years. And
34:04
Speaker 23: when the federal government sisted, oh no, the line's going
34:07
Speaker 23: to go over here. And and Finnicum's wife is still alive,
34:13
Speaker 23: and I remember going to the first red pill the
34:17
Speaker 23: dude too well, actually Joel Joel our neighbor there south
34:22
Speaker 23: and was there, but Lord Monkton was there and he
34:26
Speaker 23: was actually appointed out the uh the error in the
34:31
Speaker 23: uh information that had been used to create this this
34:37
Speaker 23: false narrative about the global warming if you will.
34:41
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that was always Lord Monkton was one of
34:44
Speaker 3: the great truth tellers in that that what they were
34:50
Speaker 3: using that were also using it to steal your property
34:53
Speaker 3: rights as if they needed other premises. But I guess
34:57
Speaker 3: they decided they had worn out. Uh you know what
35:00
Speaker 3: did what did they use in the pink houses?
35:05
Speaker 14: Uh?
35:05
Speaker 3: They they Oh, it was for higher tax collections so
35:10
Speaker 3: the city could make more tax money in Connecticut, so
35:14
Speaker 3: they could they took her house from her so they
35:16
Speaker 3: could sell it, sell the property to a developer. Uh,
35:20
Speaker 3: and these kind of things. I mean, it's just amazing
35:22
Speaker 3: to think of the things that we've allowed. And sometimes
35:27
Speaker 3: it's just simply out of the idea of well, it's
35:29
Speaker 3: going to happen to the other guy, not me, and
35:32
Speaker 3: and when it does happen to you, it's the classic
35:35
Speaker 3: you know, there there was no one left to stand
35:37
Speaker 3: up for me.
35:39
Speaker 23: Well, the Chimney tax is one of my favorites. That
35:43
Speaker 23: when I I went to the London for the only time,
35:49
Speaker 23: and I remember doing a little diggings because I had
35:53
Speaker 23: some could they call middle Vengers, I think, But it
35:57
Speaker 23: turns out the Horde Chapel, my last name is spelled
35:59
Speaker 23: h Or before Chapel, is actually part of Dalton Abbey's
36:04
Speaker 23: really like said, they were going to church and I
36:09
Speaker 23: had reached out, probably.
36:10
Speaker 2: Gonna get some residuals out of this.
36:12
Speaker 3: I mean that sounds like some investable property there, and
36:15
Speaker 3: it's a Doubton Abbey is a going thing that's bigger
36:18
Speaker 3: than Game of Thrones these days.
36:21
Speaker 23: Well, eighteen twenty seven was the last time he for
36:25
Speaker 23: from my line, you know, actually lived in England. Uh,
36:28
Speaker 23: most of us left and there were only two of
36:30
Speaker 23: us that came to America and one of them ended
36:34
Speaker 23: up marrying a triplet, and Triplet was the dude too,
36:39
Speaker 23: was with Washington when they came up. Oh yeah, through
36:43
Speaker 23: South Carolina and Virginia, right, and all that's coming up soon.
36:47

36:51
Speaker 23: archives too. There's there's also an amazing painter that I've
36:56
Speaker 23: become aware of.
36:57
Speaker 7: Here.
36:58
Speaker 23: I don't represent him or anything, but I was told
37:01
Speaker 23: that there's a great maritime paint that has a lot
37:04
Speaker 23: of the stuff in the Navil Academy. Thing that's was
37:08
Speaker 23: his interest was tweaked when some other friend of mine
37:11
Speaker 23: used to run a gowery here mostly maritime. Thanks and
37:16
Speaker 23: became aware that. You know, he came for a quick
37:18
Speaker 23: art tour at my house and he was kind of
37:21
Speaker 23: moved by things. I said, you know, seventeen eighty one

41:03
Speaker 13: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
41:08
Speaker 13: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
41:12
Speaker 13: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
41:15
Speaker 13: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
41:22
Speaker 13: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
41:24
Speaker 13: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
41:28
Speaker 13: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

Speaker 1: The First Amendment. First thing today.
44:41
Speaker 3: On this Christmas even day, I was just sent an
44:44
Speaker 3: interesting piece.
44:45
Speaker 2: Obviously caught up in the holiday season.
44:47
Speaker 3: One of our local weeklies has got a cover article
44:51
Speaker 3: about this organization called Project Censored, and it triggered me
44:56
Speaker 3: because it's the graphics or hysterical.
45:03
Speaker 2: But you go to their.
45:03
Speaker 3: Website, and their website is intense and obviously very expensive,
45:09
Speaker 3: and a lot of people spend a lot of time
45:11
Speaker 3: on it, and obviously these are very well funded people.
45:15
Speaker 3: And last I tried from a couple of different technologies,
45:19
Speaker 3: and curiously enough wasn't stopped from going there.
45:25
Speaker 2: Doc.
45:29
Speaker 3: I just it struck me that if you're project censored,
45:33
Speaker 3: then what good is your business model if you're not
45:36
Speaker 3: being censored? Right, my research man John Suttz saw it.
45:43
Speaker 3: So one of the clickthroughs on this group's web page
45:48
Speaker 3: is how to identify.
45:56
Speaker 2: False information? And there's a checklist.
46:00
Speaker 3: So, because I'm that guy, I've checked the checklist as
46:03
Speaker 3: the check authority is an editor or editorial board listed?
46:09
Speaker 3: Any ads or are the ads disguised? Any code of
46:14
Speaker 3: ethics present for the organization or group, Any conflict of
46:19
Speaker 3: interests stated, Any disclosure statements available, notice available meaning somebody
46:26
Speaker 3: else may have published them, biographical information present, Any credentials,
46:31
Speaker 3: expertise and or affiliations listed. So what were Thomas Payn's
46:40
Speaker 3: because I believe he was he wasn't a journalists He
46:50
Speaker 3: wrote common sense? And what was his qualifications?
46:55
Speaker 2: Huh?
46:57
Speaker 3: And anyways, branding or a logo present on the site
47:02
Speaker 3: or the source, if a website or a blog, what's
47:06
Speaker 3: the domain name? For example dot gov, dot org, dot
47:10
Speaker 3: info dot com. If a website, blog or other source
47:15
Speaker 3: for example, YouTube, is there an about us section?
47:19
Speaker 2: Who created or authored the material?
47:22
Speaker 3: And none of these, None of these I lampooned a
47:25
Speaker 3: little bit because it's this idea of this is conspiratorial,
47:30
Speaker 3: and maybe it should be, you know, more widely reversed
47:33
Speaker 3: that you should even for something that you agree with,
47:37
Speaker 3: like kareem asking, you know, because I jumped. I was
47:40
Speaker 3: going through the other day and we were looking to say, look,
47:42
Speaker 3: you know, and I knew about the branch Davidians and
47:46
Speaker 3: I knew they were on Clinton's watch, and so when
47:49
Speaker 3: we saw the story, and then I said, oh my gosh,
47:51
Speaker 3: Ruby Ridge too because I saw ninety two. And it's
47:55
Speaker 3: just because I connect Clinton to nineteen ninety two. But
47:59
Speaker 3: that was the year he got to like that. He
48:01
Speaker 3: wasn't in office yet, but you gotta chat. Is if
48:09
Speaker 3: information including photos and memes are posted, shared, or retweeted,
48:15
Speaker 3: is there any attempt for the Center to fact check,
48:18
Speaker 3: track down sources, and validate claims? Is an explanation of
48:23
Speaker 3: their fact checking method and or trust indicators provided by
48:27
Speaker 3: the fact checker.
48:29
Speaker 2: And then in the.
48:30
Speaker 3: Message section, and he specialized technical language, used double speak,
48:38
Speaker 3: use of metaphors. Can you determine perspective? For example, I
48:43
Speaker 3: know believe, I believe this first person opinion? Does the
48:48
Speaker 3: language appeal to the mind of emotions? Like, how do
48:51
Speaker 3: you judge that I can read something completely scientific and
48:56
Speaker 3: have an emotional reaction to it. We just did a
48:59
Speaker 3: segment about digital technology helping people who have had tracheotomies,
49:05
Speaker 3: and I had an emotional reaction to it. You know why,
49:08
Speaker 3: because I know somebody who used to do what I
49:12
Speaker 3: do and had his voice cut out. I've watched too
49:19
Speaker 3: much Rod Serling, too much Twilight Zone. Oh man, It's
49:26
Speaker 3: just it's a fascinating, fun little romp into understanding the.
49:32
Speaker 2: Media state is here.
49:37
Speaker 3: The State of the Free Press twenty twenty six, the
49:41
Speaker 3: fiftieth anniversary edition. So you're going to tell me this
49:45
Speaker 3: Project Censored has been doing this. Oh hey, John, if
49:51
Speaker 3: you're listening, John Subman, the cover that they're using for
49:57
Speaker 3: the Ceville Weekly is is nicked right from Project Censored website,
50:03
Speaker 3: so they didn't even create the art graphic for it.
50:09
Speaker 3: Fiftieth So you've been doing this since nineteen seventy six,
50:14
Speaker 3: and understand what's changed since nineteen seventy six, Things like
50:20
Speaker 3: Freedom of Information Act laws that didn't exist or were
50:25
Speaker 3: only just starting to be fleshed out in nineteen seventy six.
50:33
Speaker 3: Jimmy Carter was elected president in nineteen seventy six. And
50:41
Speaker 3: you're saying that you know people were being censored then,
50:44
Speaker 3: We had like four sources of information then and three
50:49
Speaker 3: of the more TV networks for if you count PBS.
50:55
Speaker 3: But that's the government. So I presume Project Censored is
50:59
Speaker 3: against public broadcasting.
51:02
Speaker 2: I presume it's just a.
51:07
Speaker 3: Funny outtake heading into a Christmas and I hope you
51:12
Speaker 3: and yours are together and take heart into the original
51:15
Speaker 3: point of this program, which is connect connect with someone.
51:21
Speaker 3: They're coming anyway. I mean, we share these stories with
51:25
Speaker 3: you not because Laura Lumer needs more notoriety, but because
51:30
Speaker 3: somebody who's going to be at your house for Christmas
51:33
Speaker 3: is going to throw it at you. If they know
51:35
Speaker 3: you listen to programs like this one, they're gonna throw
51:39
Speaker 3: this Project Censored stuff at you. They might they might
51:42
Speaker 3: even give you a copy of it for Christmas. Say, well,
51:46
Speaker 3: you listen to conservative talk radio. We know the Trump
51:50
Speaker 3: administration sends them all their talking points first thing in
51:53
Speaker 3: the morning.
51:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's what happened.
52:02
Speaker 3: So I hope you have some time with family and friends,
52:06
Speaker 3: and you get together with everyone and that the people
52:09
Speaker 3: are who you want to be around. But even the
52:11
Speaker 3: people who you've loved for years, you can reach out
52:14
Speaker 3: to and touch base with and be together with and
52:18
Speaker 3: perhaps find all those eighty percent of things that you
52:21
Speaker 3: agree on and just remember you know when getting when
52:26
Speaker 3: arriving at their most important destination in their campaign, Jesus's
52:32
Speaker 3: minions ran off to find the elected official and he said,
52:35
Speaker 3: I want to hang out with the woman everyone has shunned.
52:40
Speaker 3: That's the message. We'll celebrate the kid's birthday tomorrow morning.
52:46
Speaker 3: Until then, I'm Joe Thomas, Talk Media Network. So long
52:49
Speaker 3: and thanks for all the fish.
52:51
Speaker 12: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
52:53
Speaker 12: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
52:57
Speaker 12: California based chiropractor with more than three years of experience,
53:01
Speaker 12: this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
53:05
Speaker 12: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
53:09
Speaker 12: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
53:12
Speaker 12: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions the
53:16
Speaker 12: Fisher Traction neck device and Fisher Traction Low Back device
53:20
Speaker 12: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
53:24
Speaker 12: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
53:27
Speaker 12: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
53:30
Speaker 12: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
53:33
Speaker 12: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
53:36
Speaker 12: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your
53:38
Speaker 12: home and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful
53:41
