• 0:06
  Speaker 1: We'll do it live.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Making mornings great again.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:12
  Speaker 4: And we'll do it live.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Did you see Zebra's new song?
• 0:16
  Speaker 5: Paul Stanley.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Do we have that? Bless you for letting me be
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: of service to you on this Saturday morning. On the
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: radio program that's unabashed about calling itself a radio program.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: That's why I love John at JVC. He loves radio
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: and gets it. Gets the fact that 96 plus percent
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: of you listen to the radio. Why would we apologize
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: for doing that and doing it with zeal? John at JVC,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: he's got Tedness. But I will tell you via this
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: radio show, while you bask in its frequency modulation or
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: amplitude modulation, Valdosta and Long Island and Las Vegas and
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Stanton and all over, we don't even have a grasp
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: on some of the places they're hearing us. Those are
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: just the ones I know about. While you bask in
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: the modulation, I will tell you what went on last night,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: and there was a prodigious amount of stuff that went
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: on last night. And then I will give you my
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: analysis of it. That's, you know, stock and trade, which
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: is better than cap and trade, by the way. But
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I want to hear how it's impacting you where you are,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the singular most important local aspect of any radio station.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: And if they don't tell you that, I'm sorry about that,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: but it is true. You are the most important local
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: aspect of your radio station, and how the news is
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: impacting you is preeminent to all other things. So we
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: have phone number, text messages, and phone calls coming to 434-882-4217.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: You can also get us through Email jtinthemorningradio at gmail.com.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: This text message comes in. I had never thought about
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the FBI being allowed to lie to the U.S. citizen,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: so why shouldn't they be allowed to lie to our
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: congressional representatives? Are you sure you're not one of these
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: FBI agents' defense attorneys? No, but you'll know who they
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: were listening to if that shows up as their defense
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: on Monday morning. Here we go with our first things.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: FBI agents I was just referring to are the two
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: that are facing criminal charges for making false statements, which
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: most people would be in trouble for. Lying to Congress
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: is also a felony charge. Although Congress lying to us isn't,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: so there's still this weird nexus that we have to
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: work our way through. But it comes from 2023 testimony
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: about Hunter Biden's laptop. Nikki Flores, 46, a former intelligence
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: analyst in charge of the Bureau's Washington field office, and
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Bradley Benavides, 56-year-old deputy assistant director at the FBI's counterintelligence division,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: were charged with those crimes. Meanwhile, the Justice Department of
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: today has ordered California election officials to identify suspected non-citizens
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: on voter rolls and set aside their mail-in ballots. They've
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: sent the list of 20,000 suspected non-citizens, and they expect
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the California election officials under threat of criminal liability to
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: make those comparisons. Ukraine's top negotiator involved in this humanitarian
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: ceasefire around Oleshky, led by U.S. First Lady Melania Trump,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: told the Associated Press that the local ceasefire with Russia
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: will begin on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Ukraine is ready to get back to the negotiating table
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: with Russia. in the beginning of November, and they expect
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to be going to Abu Dhabi, where that will be held.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Attorney General Todd Blanch was buttonholed during the announcement of
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the arrest of Virginia's most powerful Democrat-elected official, Senate President
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: pro tempore Luis Lucas, on drug smuggling, racketeering, and money
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: laundering charges. After that, not sufficient enough for a news story,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: they asked him, would the DOJ seek to block states
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: from certifying election results? And he said, so I don't
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: think it's proper to make any kind of conclusory statements
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: about what's going to happen in the future. Speaking of
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: in the future, a Utah judge got freaked out by
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: all the cameras and decided not to tell all the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: cameras when the trial of Tyler Robinson, the man accused
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: of killing Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk more than
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: a year ago would begin. Defense wants it pushed off
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: all the way till 2029. Erica Kirk would like it
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: sooner rather than later. The judge said, I can't decide
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: with all these cameras in my face. So Tony Graff
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: said that he would decide next week when that would happen.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: Trans-Siberian Orchestra, live in concert. Experience the power and magic
• 6:09

• 6:40
  Speaker 2: on swapping out a pair for Las Vegas for you
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: guys because you were not an affiliate. when we began

• 7:02
  Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
• 7:46

• 8:05
  Speaker 6: optimized curcumin is one of the few bioavailable and highly
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52

  Speaker 7: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 9: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: work every day Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 9: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more. Uh-oh,
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah? Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 10: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 11: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 10: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 12: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28
  Speaker 13: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 13: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 13: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 13: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 13: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 13: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 13: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 13: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 13: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 13: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 13: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:07
  Speaker 13: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 13: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 13: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18

• 12:24
  Speaker 13: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 13: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 14: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 14: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 14: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 14: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:43
  Speaker 14: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:48
  Speaker 14: at MakeTheConnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
• 12:53
  Speaker 14: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: This is Independence from Virginia. Again, first thing today by
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: Is this a sovereign nation or just a Poland state?
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: You better look out, people.
• 13:36
  Speaker 15: I don't care who it is or where you are,
• 13:40
  Speaker 15: but if you talk to anybody for any length of time,
• 13:44
  Speaker 15: you will find that there is a pervasive attitude that if.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: You're connected, if you're well off, if you can afford
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: all the lawyers you can, the justice system will protect
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: you from criminal liabilities. And that's a dangerous thing. This
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: is where Marxism grows. This is the rotting tree trunk
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: that the particular poisonous mushroom of Marxism grows in. Because
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: as soon as you lose faith that the law enforcement
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: community is enforcing the laws blindly, as soon as the
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: mask comes off It begins to lead to authoritarianism. It
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: begins to lead to Marxism. Because we will demand some
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: tough guy come in and just start knocking heads. And
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: you listen to John Ossoff and read Rebecca Bice's column
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: in the Daily Signal Georgia pages about all the billionaires
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: that are giving money to John Ossoff. Yet he's the
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: one out there saying, I'm going to go after these
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: billionaires who think they can do whatever they want and
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: they don't have to face repercussions. Well, then why would
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: all the billionaires be giving John Ossoff money? Because he
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: will protect them. And the system as it's supposed to
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: work is you have Law enforcement done at the local level.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: So if something happens in Las Vegas, CSI Las Vegas
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: shows up and they start investigating. And then they, as
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: the policing agency, will collect the evidence and bring a
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: case to trial in Las Vegas. Then the process, if
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: it is felt that, say, you're in some small town
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: in rural Georgia like Hazard County, and you don't think
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: the Duke brothers can get a fair trial there because
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Boss Hogg owns the judges and the sheriff, well, the
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: next step is the statewide appellate panels. You may say, well,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Boss Hogg's connected there too. All right, well, then we
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: go to the federal courts. judges, our federal district judges,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: because each step further away from your local government makes
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: it harder for a well-off local resident to corrupt the problem.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: That's how it's supposed to work. And in that incarnation,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: it admits that it knows that we are failed at
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: being pure and that we will make decisions that benefit us,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: that feather our nests, and therefore not be just. Because
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: being just is very difficult. You have to listen to
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: a lot. And then just when you think you've filled
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: up of listening to a lot, you go and listen
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: to some more. And it is hard because we have
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: become democracy junkies. So our judges are afraid that if
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: they act with any jurisprudence to make sure that only
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: people who inequivocally are guilty go to prison. And remember,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: ours is a system based on the philosophy that it's
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: better that 10 guilty people go free than one innocent
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: person go to jail for January 6th.
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: What?
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Did I say that out loud? I don't smell toast.
• 18:11
  Speaker 15: Anyway.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: And that's what we've fallen from. We just want the
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: bad guys arrested. And who are the bad guys? The
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: people we don't like. Let's make Americans great again. Let's
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: stop that vindictiveness. And unfortunately, that would require people who
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: want to indict President Trump every time he turns around
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: to put that aside as well. You know what I
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: think is interesting a little bit? Just as an abstract,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Mark Warner, my senator, took to his ex-platform and said,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: you know, Louise Lucas, the state senator here that was
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: arrested for money laundering, racketeering, and drug sales charges, is
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: innocent until proven guilty. It's interesting that that same paradigm
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: didn't apply to Donald Trump when he was indicted for
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: something because that was purely indicative of why he should
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: never be allowed in public office again. What happened to
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: guilty until proven innocent? And Mark Warner is the ranking
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Isn't that fun, boys
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: and girls? Tickles your mouth when you say it. Let
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: me get to you at 434-882-4217. Find out how the
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: news of the day is impacting you. Good morning. You're
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: on the air with Joe first thing this morning. Who's this?
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: Good morning, Joe.
• 19:42
  Speaker 16: It's Kareem.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Kareem. How are you doing this Saturday morning?
• 19:48
  Speaker 16: Kind of tired. I'm still working.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: You and me both i mean that's that's part of
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: why we do this not to and i do want
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: to hear why you called but you open up a
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: perfect opportunity to make it clear that i'm not trying
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: to make other radio people look bad by being here
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: live on Saturday, while many of them appropriately, it's not
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: like I don't have a honeydew list as well. But
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: so few of us have that nine to five, Monday
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: through Friday stuff going on anymore. Saturday is just like Thursday,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: you got to get up, you got to put the
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: backpack on and get out and you know, knee pads
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: and elbow pads if they're appropriate, and get to work.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: And If it's a side hustle, it's a different thing
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: than you would do Monday through Friday, but all be
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: it the same. You're not sitting around in your slippers
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: and a bathrobe drinking your second cup of coffee with
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: time to worry about what's in the arts section of
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: the newspaper. Okay, Milwaukee won the first game of the
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: World Series. There you go. That's the sports section. Have
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: a nice day. Now get to work. that we all
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: have this now. We don't have that luxury of sitting
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: around on our duff, nor I don't think we ever
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: should have. We convinced ourselves that's the American dream, and
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: it's not. The American dream is the striving for whatever
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: you determine prosperity is. What is my definition of prosperity
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: defined by yours? No, it's completely different than what you
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: think prosperous is and that Warren Buffett thinks prosperous is
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: or John Ossoff thinks prosperous is. Of course, John, we
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: can tell it's getting lots of campaign contributions from well-heeled
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: billionaires from outside of the state of Georgia or Abdul El-Sayed,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: whose idea of prosperity is getting a lot of contributions
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: from the Muslim Brotherhood leadership and then denying that he
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: has any connection to the Muslim Brotherhood. But those are
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: just cheap shots. No extra charge since they come cheap.

  Speaker 17: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
• 23:14
  Speaker 17: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:16
  Speaker 17: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
• 23:20
  Speaker 17: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
• 23:23
  Speaker 17: the rule. Many high-end or luxury vehicles call for premium
• 23:26
  Speaker 17: or higher octane fuel. And the reason for this is
• 23:29
  Speaker 17: not just due to the octane rating. There are better
• 23:31
  Speaker 17: fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know, too,
• 23:35
  Speaker 17: that vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
• 23:38
  Speaker 17: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
• 23:40
  Speaker 17: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
• 23:44
  Speaker 17: your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful, you may
• 23:47
  Speaker 17: find better performance and miles per gallon because you are
• 23:50
  Speaker 17: cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive. Just
• 23:53
  Speaker 17: don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them anytime soon.

  Speaker 6: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells, even

  Speaker 7: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 25:46

  Speaker 10: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 25:56
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 12: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 10: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 13: Me too.
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:23
  Speaker 13: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:25
  Speaker 13: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:29
  Speaker 13: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 13: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:36
  Speaker 13: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 13: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 13: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors.
• 26:49
  Speaker 13: Check ducts for holes and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 13: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 13: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:58
  Speaker 13: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 13: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 13: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 13: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 2: Lucky?
• 27:39
  Speaker 19: Caring for my brother is far from easy. But he's

• 27:45
  Speaker 19: I'll be his. No time for tired. Nothing can disable

  Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:22
  Speaker 11: That's me.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: That's right. That's what we're doing here on Saturday.
• 28:54
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: So technically on Saturday, it's six to nine. But but
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: you get the point. The reason we do this on
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Saturday is, as I said to Kareem before the news break,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: is because we're working. You're working. Why wouldn't you have
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: the morning show to tell you that, you know, the
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: things that are going on? Because they're still trying to
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: sneak all this stuff out on Friday afternoons, thinking that
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: you're not going to be reading the paper. They still
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: think you read the paper of all things. Anyway, so
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: I sort of hijacked Kareem's phone call for my own agenda,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: because it's my radio program, so it's not really a
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: crime for that. It's sort of like the way the
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: FBI lies to citizens because they're allowed to but that
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: being said held on to him so what did bring
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: you to the phone.
• 29:53
  Speaker 16: Well Joe again there's a lot to pull from and
• 29:56
  Speaker 16: I Honestly, I think they're– if I'm not mistaken, Ossoff
• 30:02
  Speaker 16: and Siad, if they want, they– is there a standing
• 30:05
  Speaker 16: invitation for them to come on and talk to you?
• 30:07
  Speaker 13: Sure.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 30:09
  Speaker 16: That's different from other places. Joe, again, you talk to anybody,
• 30:14
  Speaker 16: and you're welcome. But, Joe, there's a lot that really
• 30:18
  Speaker 16: came to mind as far as billionaires and Ossoff in Georgia.
• 30:22
  Speaker 19: Mm-hmm.
• 30:25
  Speaker 16: He's really getting some traction, I'll tell you what. And honestly,
• 30:28
  Speaker 16: I would love to see him and Brandon Gill on
• 30:31
  Speaker 16: a stage debating each other, just because I missed that
• 30:34
  Speaker 16: Futurama episode where they had Jack Johnson and John Jackson.
• 30:38
  Speaker 16: And I think that would be a nice little set
• 30:40
  Speaker 16: up in real life.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Boy, we are really, this is like, you know, this
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: radio program brought to you by old TV shows, brought
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: to you by Turner Classic TV. It's funny, you, Dr. Garg,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: everyone's talking about classic TV shows this morning. To bolster Dr.
• 30:57
  Speaker 16: Clark's point, it hit even closer to home with The Wire.
• 31:02
  Speaker 16: Larry Young, who Clay Davis in The Wire was based on.
• 31:08
  Speaker 20: Really?
• 31:08
  Speaker 16: And he even made an appearance, yes, the one, the
• 31:11
  Speaker 16: state senator from Maryland who got tossed out for corruption.
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 31:14
  Speaker 16: And he even made an appearance on a later season
• 31:17
  Speaker 16: as a radio host talking to the guy that his
• 31:19
  Speaker 16: character was based on.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: So it... That's fun.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: So when Dr.
• 31:25
  Speaker 16: Clark mentioned that, I was like, oh, he's going to
• 31:26
  Speaker 16: bring it up.
• 31:27
  Speaker 12: No, he didn't.
• 31:28
  Speaker 16: So I wanted to call and get that in too.
• 31:31
  Speaker 16: But Joe, there's a lot of discontent with how things
• 31:37
  Speaker 16: are looking. It looks like the Republicans may not lose
• 31:40
  Speaker 16: as much of the Senate as first feared. So that
• 31:43
  Speaker 16: means that Trump won't be impeached immediately.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: That's a good thing for him.
• 31:49
  Speaker 16: Downside is, For me, Moody's looked at France, and I
• 31:54
  Speaker 16: called yesterday and I said they got that $ 700 billion deficit.
• 31:58
  Speaker 16: They got to sell $ 340 billion worth of bonds this year, which,
• 32:03
  Speaker 16: you know, it's a fire sale, and I don't think
• 32:06
  Speaker 16: they can get it done. Moody's looked at France and said,
• 32:09
  Speaker 16: we're not downgrading their credit.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Joe?
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: That's good news for us in France. France.
• 32:16
  Speaker 16: It is good news for France, but the last time
• 32:18
  Speaker 16: I heard them doing something like that, it was after
• 32:21
  Speaker 16: the fact, and it was in 2008. So, because Moody's
• 32:25
  Speaker 16: apologized for, oh, we're sorry we didn't do that.
• 32:28
  Speaker 11: Go ahead.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Actually, I want to couch my statement because that was
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: a knee-jerk reaction. It is actually bad for the French
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: residents because, you know, the only time these people are
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: going to wake up and smell the urine is when
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: they can't go borrow more money. So when Moody's does this,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: it's actually just like, the best friend of the alcoholic saying,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: I think you're just depressed. Let's go have a beer.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: And they're just enabling. So truth be told, I hate
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: it when these places just keep getting AAA bond scores
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: because at some point, first off, the AAA bond score
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: probably doesn't mean all that anymore, but it just keeps
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: these governments borrowing more and more and more stuff.
• 33:16
  Speaker 16: Joe, and it gets even better.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Here's the last bit.
• 33:19
  Speaker 16: I know I'm throwing– Throw it.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Throw it.
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 33:25
  Speaker 16: Right now, one of the left candidates who is gaining
• 33:28
  Speaker 16: popularity has said that we can just cancel our national debt,
• 33:31
  Speaker 16: not the privately held debt that people buy, but the
• 33:35
  Speaker 16: debt to itself, kind of like our national debt is
• 33:37
  Speaker 16: our debt to ourselves, canceling it outright.
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: He's not wrong. But by the way, quick note, he
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: probably also said that he's there to defend Social Security.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: So what does that do to Social Security? Since the
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Social Security Fund is the largest holder of sovereign U.S. debt,
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: even larger than China. China's the largest foreign investor. But
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: we owe ourselves more money than anything else out there.
• 34:11
  Speaker 16: So it makes me think these billionaires that are backing
• 34:13
  Speaker 16: us off, what's their end game that they're looking at? Anyway, Joe,
• 34:16
  Speaker 16: thanks for taking my call. Have a great day.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: You too. And that's a good question because billionaires don't
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: become billionaires by not having a plan.
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: Do I really look like a guy with a plan?
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: A little bit anyway. And that's the truth of the
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Social Security. And this is when everything started to come
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: off the rails was in the 70s. when the federal
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: government discovered that the Social Security Administration could buy bonds
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: from the federal government. And that became a lot easier
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: to finance things than actually going to the taxpayers and saying, hey,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: can we have more money for this stuff? This was
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: shortly after Nixon pulled the gold standard out at the
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: urging of Congress. Let's not forget, we're You know, Nixon
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: executed it. But this was, let's see, we were still
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: 20 years shy of the first Republican majority since World
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: War II. So it had been 30 years since Republicans
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: had any majority voice in Congress when Richard Nixon was
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: buttonholed by leadership, perhaps even over the Watergate stuff. to
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: pull us out of the gold standard because they couldn't
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: come up with a budget. They couldn't come up with
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: a budget because Lyndon Johnson had committed us to the
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: great society. So Nixon doesn't pull us off the gold
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: standard if Lyndon Johnson doesn't start the great society. You
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: see how it's correlation, causation. And then in the midst
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: of that, we had, you know, war We were in
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Vietnam and other places we weren't supposed to talk about
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: being into. I have friends of mine who didn't serve
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: in Laos, Cambodia, that kind of place. But that cost money.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: So they learned, much like Alexander Hamilton convinced George Washington
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: that rather than just asking the American citizens, the newly
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: formed American citizens, to pay for the soldiers that helped
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: them win that independence, it would be better than to
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: hide the taxes we needed to raise on excises like
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: the sale of liquor. Thus, the Whiskey Rebellion. Hamilton is
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: a fascinating cat, only revered founding father with a rebellion
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: that he caused. And I don't mean like lead, like
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: shays or anything like that. I mean, straight up, they revolted.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: We hadn't been a country for five minutes, and they're
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: up in arms because Hamilton said, you know what? You
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: guys make whiskey. We're going to tax the whiskey and
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: take that money and pay for the soldiers. And ever
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: since then, government keeps trying to hide their funding streams.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: And actually, though our portion of this, it's not an
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: American politician that's calling for canceling the debt. It's Jean-Luc
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Mélenchon or Mélenchon or Melancholy and the infinite sadness. He's
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: a French— he' s, by French standards— far left he said chuck
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: it in the fire just say we're not paying it
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: come and make us you know they used to do
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: that in france.
• 38:01
  Speaker 20: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests looting
• 38:05

  Speaker 12: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 12: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 12: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 14: Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 12: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:20
  Speaker 12: favorite form of ear candy. Oh, my. Those bejeweled sprinkles
• 40:25
  Speaker 12: have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: Shh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 14: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 12: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:38
  Speaker 12: And with every item you buy, you fund local job
• 40:41
  Speaker 12: training and more. So go forth. Bring home those donut earrings.
• 40:48
  Speaker 12: And bring home so much.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Good to your community. Goodwill.
• 40:54
  Speaker 12: Bring good home.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41
  Speaker 18: Eat better.
• 41:42

  Speaker 12: Sure.

  Speaker 19: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.

  Speaker 2: I can probably swim. Uh, you should wait 30 minutes. Okay,

  Speaker 2: don't tell me what to do.

  Speaker 2: Probably.

  Speaker 18: Can I get a mulligan?

  Speaker 2: Ready to go?
• 43:27
  Speaker 10: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay. Probably okay
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking and driving.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: If you're drinking, call a cab, a car, or a friend.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message brought to you

  Speaker 1: We could tell you what 6-7 means.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: Where's the point of that? First thing today by Joe
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:21
  Speaker 11: For in your time, we have the opportunity to move
• 44:25
  Speaker 11: not only toward the rich society and the powerful society,
• 44:31
  Speaker 11: but upward to the great society. The Great Society rests
• 44:36
  Speaker 11: on abundance and liberty for all.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: You should have known it was a lie right then.
• 44:40
  Speaker 11: It demands an end to poverty and racial injustice.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: So how's that working for us? Oh, Joe, you're just
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: because he's a Democrat. No, he was a liar. He
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: was he was a con man. This was designed. We
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: have the recordings from his White House phone calls. He
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: knew it wouldn't work. Sergeant Shriver. you know, one of
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: the surviving Kennedys was put in charge of this and
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: said to Lyndon Johnson on the phone, and Lyndon, you know,
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: this isn't going to work. And Lyndon Johnson's response was,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: I don't care if you think it's going to work
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: or not. I just want to know you're going to
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: do it. It was about quelling the uprisings behind Martin
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. It was about creating
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: a plantation population in the black communities. He was just
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: like the progenitors of the Permanent Reapportionment Act of 1929,
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: racist to the core. looking to find new and inventive
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: ways to keep the black population down. And we know
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: this not because we like or dislike Democrats or Texans
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: or vice presidents. We know this for its after effect.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: So that was 60 years ago. 1964. 1964. And as
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan said, not months after this plan was put
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: forth before Congress, nobody ever reads the score.
• 46:40
  Speaker 11: But upward to the Great Society. The Great Society rests
• 46:46
  Speaker 11: on abundance and liberty for all.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: How are we doing on that?
• 46:50
  Speaker 11: It demands an end to poverty and racial injustice.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: And we now know that When they say things like that,
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: what they mean is it demands injustice.
• 47:05
  Speaker 11: It demands an end to poverty.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: And by an end, we mean an increasing of poverty.
• 47:12
  Speaker 11: And racial injustice.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: And more racial injustice. Because how could my political party
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: come into your black community that's continuing to be impoverished
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: and claim any sort of mandate if you don't believe
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: that we're the ones who are here to help you
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: and some shadowy figure other than us is the reason
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: that your poverty continues to get existentially worse. And The
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: dark magic in this was it was going to make
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: more people poor, so therefore the poor people would start
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: to think, well, maybe I'm middle class now. But just
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: like Louise Lucas, Virginia's top Democrat, in the Portsmouth area,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: it's just up from Norfolk and Virginia Beach and all that,
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: sort of in that crescent in between Richmond and Norfolk
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: that often is blue. It's not really a crescent as
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: much as it's a hammer and sickle. But Louise Lucas
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: has represented this community for over three decades. We were
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: talking about this yesterday morning on the program. Three decades
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: of representation. And the poverty is worse now. The racial
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: inequities are greater. So why are we still doing it?
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: The exodus of black votes to Donald Trump's campaign is
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: an indication that maybe if you get the brass set
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: to call the lie out, he wants to end these
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: aid programs. Okay, tell me what these aid programs have done.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: They send money to people to do what? You love Snap?
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: hey guess what you know what you have to do
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: to get your snap card or even to use your
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: snap card show a photo ID you mean poor minorities
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: have to have a photo ID to get their snap
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: How do the illegals get their snap? With fake IDs?
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: Just like they get their votes? You know, it's just,
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: you feel like sometimes, and this is just confessional, you
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: feel like a broken record, broken record, broken record. And
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: then you realize so few people use records that the
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: reference means very little. And I cannot, for the life
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: of me, although I have been confronted with the horrific
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: sound of a skipping compact disc. But I would never
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: try to make it sound like I knew what a greased,
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: scratched compact disc sounded like. So I run home to mama.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: But the debt comes from that great society, ours, the
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: United States. Now, France... And understand, when he says he's
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: far left, he's Marxist. He was one of those folks
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: that saw the panzers coming in, and he's like, oh, good. Nationalists, socialists,
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: who could be against that? Saying that France can just
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: cancel their debt is using a Greek paradigm, because that's
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: kind of what Greece did. Remember when Greece was in
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: huge economic trouble? Well, remember when they first came to
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: be noticed as teetering on the position of dragging the
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: European Union down? So the European Union said, we'll bail
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: you out. We'll take over your financial and business management.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: So Greece basically allowed itself to be invaded by Germany again.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: This time, Germany was able to not have to spend
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: all the money on panzers. So is that what France
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: is talking about? Unilaterally canceling its debt and turning its
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: financial operations over to Germany? I mean, maybe as we
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: get into 2026, it has been long enough ago that
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: we don't have that many World War II veterans anymore.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: So we can suggest letting Germany take over France again.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: And what would the economic D-Day look like? Hold it.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: There's a phrase there. Didn't Donald Trump talk about an
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: economic D-Day? I mean, do we have to find a
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: metaphor for a beachhead? Or do we just find a
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: Swiss bank in Normandy and use that? It's an interesting thought,
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: but that's how we all wind up in this debt.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: You know, it's true.
• 52:52
  Speaker 21: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
• 52:55
  Speaker 21: to think about what matters most when it comes to
• 52:57
  Speaker 21: our spending, our health care. This is why so many
• 53:00
