"Tom Drops Bombs on VA 07" (FTTxJT Tue 100626 hr3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I asked you, okay, you know, you want to
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: do nonsense, do nonsense. First thing today, by Joe Thomas
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Still sounds like.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: The art part.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: he needs. No wonder Joe's always smiling, he only.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Aims to please you. Thank you for letting me be
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: of service to you this morning. All those, all those billionaires,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: all the billionaires in their anthills, and I can't get
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: any of the ants because all the billionaires have the
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: ants in the anthill. I'm sorry, too many Saturday morning
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: cartoons and too little caffeine this morning that is generally
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: the barrier that keeps them from intertwining in front of
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: your face at 434- 882-4217. I will tell you what
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: went on last night. I'll give you the stories, and
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: then I will give you my analysis, certainly. But if
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: you have a reaction, allergic or otherwise, to it, by
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: all means, right after you call the CDC for their
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: adverse effects hotline, call me and let us know about
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: it at 434- 882-4217. That is the phone number. You
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: can also use it for text messages. Oh my gosh, howdy.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Very busy there. Hamp down on the Treasure Coast. Are
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: they going to sue, meaning Boulder, Colorado, auto manufacturers over
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: climate change too? You can make cars that are electric
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and still use fossil fuels. So what about that? And
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: then goes on to ask, isn't everyone somewhere on the
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: autism spectrum? Have a great day. Don't tell me what
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: kind of day to have. For some reason, I've got
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: into that jag. I'm being intentionally nerdy about this. Because
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Virginia has a bill that says if you're on the
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: autism spectrum, your testimony should not be admissible in court.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Like it? Dislike it? Think it creates an entire underclass
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: of people because they're supposedly not intellectually capable of knowing
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: what's going on around them sufficiently and thoroughly enough to
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: bear witness? A hundred years ago, we had very similar laws,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: only instead of autistic, the word was black. But It's
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: a different word these days. Why would it be the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: same kind of subcultural implication, right? So our first things
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: this morning, aside from Virginia trying to ban an entire
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: population of people that it may or may not have created, Dr. Frankenstein, Frankenstein,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: from bearing witness against their attackers or things that went
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: on in their world, in the world, The Strait of
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Bab el-Mandeb is open again as Saudi-led coalition troops recaptured
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the region from Iran-backed Houthi rebels who apparently were shooting
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: intercontinental ballistic missiles at people. Remember, Russia dropped off a
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: few of those for Iran. Maybe causation or correlation, you decide.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Yemeni officials say the forces have gained control of the
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: town of Dubab just north of the Strait and making
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: sure the Strait remains open for shipping. Supreme Court heard
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: arguments to begin in whether or not they will even
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: hear a case over whether a local government can sue
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: oil and gas companies in state court. The issue is Boulder,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Colorado wants to sue ExxonMobil for the costs of of, well,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of things. Some of it could be debatably
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: connected to climate change. Supreme Court decided yesterday as well
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: not to hear a challenge of a school district's ban
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: on the shirt that bore the phrase, let's go, Brandon.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: The phrase, of course, connected to a NASCAR race where
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a driver whose name was Brandon was being interviewed and
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the crowd behind the interviewer was Let's just say chanting
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: something about having intercourse with the current president at that time,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden, in which the host, in an effort to
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: save face, said, oh, they're chanting, let's go, Brandon. Judges
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: on lower courts upheld the ban, saying that its connection
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: to the profanity-laced expression is enough to allow for the ban.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Having suffered an entire day without the requisite amount of
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: attention being paid to them, Cornell students protested over people
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: they didn't know, over things that happened in a place
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: they haven't been. But they overflowed the large space in
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: front of the school's student center, waving signs saying, Justice
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: for every Jane Doe, because most of them didn't know
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the person at all that was raped at the fraternity house.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: But it was a number of years ago. And Jim Baker,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: who along with Tammy Faye built the PTL Club TV ministry,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: has passed away at 86. You know, I was telling
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you earlier about some of the stiffness that I get,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: and I was just sitting. Sometimes I have to sit
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: conch-eyed in my studio because my knee, my left knee specifically,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: if it just sits too long in a sitting position,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: And it started at CPAC because they gave us those
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: little elementary school chairs to sit at. So I was
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: sitting very low. And so my knee was in a
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: weird position ever since then. And I have to run
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: upstairs to our offices and get my bottle of the
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Mesa Verde hemp oil, the CBD oil that my wife,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I fixed her back like that. and she doesn't need
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it anymore for her back. So I'm thinking maybe if
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I do this on my knee, it'll stop hurting so
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: much there because you sit behind a microphone for a
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: while and it starts to become distracting. Go to MesaVertiHemp.com.

  Speaker 6: You were strolling along in goodwill. When just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them, nestled
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: Oh, yes. Yes.
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: favorite form of ear candy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: Oh, my.
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 8: Shh.
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: Do you smell that?
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: Shh.
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: That's the sugary scent of shopping success, for this is Goodwill.
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: And with every item.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: You buy, you fund local job training and more. So
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: go forth, bring home those donut earrings, and bring home.
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: So much good to your community.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Goodwill, bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 10: Exercise is hard, so is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 10: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 10: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 10: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:23
  Speaker 10: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 10: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 10: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 11: Eat better.
• 10:41

• 10:50
  Speaker 8: My name is Jim. I'm a veteran, and I lost
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: both legs in Vietnam. My victory was proving that disability
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: is not a limitation. I'm Julius. I'm a veteran.
• 11:00
  Speaker 12: My victory was going from homeless to home.
• 11:03
  Speaker 13: At DAV, we're on a mission, helping veterans of all

  Speaker 17: No word in the English language is less convincing.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Then probably.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 18: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 11: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 17: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I can probably swim.
• 12:04
  Speaker 12: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, now tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: Cannonball! Cramp! Oh, I have a cramp.
• 12:16
  Speaker 12: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Probably.
• 12:23
  Speaker 19: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 11: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 17: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 17: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 17: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
• 12:45
  Speaker 17: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 12:47
  Speaker 20: You know the legal drinking age is 21.
• 12:50

• 13:28
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the talk media network.
• 13:34
  Speaker 18: Jim Baker passes and.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: When somebody is as culturally impactful as Jim and Tammy
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Faye certainly were, it bears, and of course this has
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: brought everyone out of the woodwork from every person who
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: has used the Jessica Hahn story to quote, prove that
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: religion is bunkum. And, and, And this goes back to
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: a piece of culture that I think has led us
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: to perhaps a religious revival in this country because Gen Z,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: we had the Harris Poll, was it last week, two
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: weeks ago? Harris Poll said that of all the generations
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: still alive in the United States, Gen Z is the
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: most religious. Least religious are my people, the baby boomers,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: older than me. And you'd think, you know, at that point,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: you're starting to figure out, well, I'm going to find
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: out soon. But a lot of the reason Gen Z
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: is religious, I was talking to a demographer, is because
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: their parents weren't. The parents were the parents of the
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: generation that had been tainted by the PTL club and
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: all of the televangelism that had become such fodder for Lampoon.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: We still see it. Look at the cases being made
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: against the Falwells in Lynchburg just down the road from
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: us here at Liberty University. And it is based on
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: the same story that frequently happens because we are people.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: We are flawed, broken, corruptible, sinful people living in Satan's world.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: And we do bad things. We do things that we
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: know are wrong. It wasn't the affair with Jessica Hahn.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: It was paying her off. Just like Al Capone didn't
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: get in trouble for murder for hire. He got in
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: trouble for tax evasion. It was the hush money that
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: did Jim Baker in. And to go back to the
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: beginning of the program, if you are listening or if
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: you download the podcast, which we've, oh, I'm so proud
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: of us. We finally got caught up on the podcast
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: and and everything is in there, chapter and verse. Yesterday's
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: program is in there. This is a four-hour long exchange
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: of ideas. And if you only get an hour or
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: two of it, it is a blessing to spend the
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: time with you for whatever amount of time we have.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: But you go to joethomasinthemorning.com, pick a distribution nexus, and
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: you'll get your podcasts of those other hours that you
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: didn't hear. But at the very onset of the show,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: I realized, pose the question to you if we spent
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: as much time doing good as we spend on trying
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: to appear good if we expelled as much energy avoiding
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: doing bad things as we would spend on trying not
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: to look bad we'd be a better society And I
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: think most people would consider, you know, a fall. Tammy
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Faye stayed with him after the allegations that he had,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: this affair that he paid off Jessica Hahn for. But
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: his desperate need to appear to have not had that,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: to Avoid the bad publicity is what did him in.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: The cover-up is always worse than the crime. I mean,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: think about some of the things they did in Crossfire
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Hurricane and all the other attempts to make Donald Trump
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: look out to be a Russian puppet, a spy, a
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: secret agent man, whatever. And compare it to Howard Hunt
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: and Gordon Liddy breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: at the Watergate office complex. I mean, stop and think
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: about it. How many times have we accused Donald Trump
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: of violating the emoluments clause? And these are the same
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: people who look the other way over whitewater.
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: So.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: You know, the question that goes back in, you know,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: why do we do it? Why haven't we learned that
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: the coverup isn't worth it? And it's become even worse
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: in a world where social media is everywhere. And more
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: and more of us fall into the Jim Baker world of,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: you know, my notoriety, my popularity is, Is my stock
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: in trade? That's scary, isn't it? Think about a world
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: where my ability to make money comes from how many
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: clicks I get on my YouTube channel or how many
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: clicks I get on my Substack account or my OnlyFans.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Never mind, let's start. We had spent enough time on
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: OnlyFans yesterday. But Jim Baker would still have been ministering.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Praise the Lord Club. No, my generation was full of
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: people who thought it stood for pass the loot. It's
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: another one of those things that his cover-up opened the
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: door for the haters to and the demons to run
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: amok and demean the faith. And this is why my
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: generation is so faithless. And our kids and our grandkids,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: the Gen Zers, grew up with what my friend John
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Quisenberry calls a Jesus-size hole in their heart. And so
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: they went seeking that which their parents denied because To them,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: faith meant the PTL club. And so anyone or the diocese,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: whichever one it is that you choose, Richmond, Milwaukee, wherever,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: where bad things were being covered up, the behaviors of broken,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: fallen men should not demean you. This is the whole
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: point of Martin Luther. And believe me, I get the
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: emails about Martin Luther every time I bring up The
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: guy who said, hey, how about we print these things
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: in their native language and let them take them home
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: and read them, these Bible things. If this Bible is
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: so important, print it in their language and let them
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: take it home to read it. That heresy alone still
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: has me get emails saying, well, you know, he was
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: a pedophile, Joe. The word is still the word, though,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: and that's the thing. Hey, I'm Brant, and her name
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: is Sherry.
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: Hello.
• 22:04
  Speaker 21: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 21: for because of a surgery she just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 16: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  Speaker 16: talk about all the time, which is?
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: MediShare.
• 22:13
  Speaker 16: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 22:15
  Speaker 21: So what was your experience like with MediShare and the
• 22:17
  Speaker 21: health care bill?
• 22:18
  Speaker 16: Honestly, Brant, seamless. And what a blessing that is. When
• 22:21
  Speaker 16: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
• 22:24
  Speaker 16: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 16: me tell you, Having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 16: call in with your need, that is just... It is refreshing. Yes,
• 22:34
  Speaker 16: that's what it is.
• 22:34
  Speaker 21: But I keep telling people, people love MediShare and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 21: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 16: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different.
• 22:46
  Speaker 16: And I mean different in a very, very good way.

  Speaker 7: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 23:02
  Speaker 20: Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Artificial
• 23:07
  Speaker 20: intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver better
• 23:11
  Speaker 20: care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that speed up diagnoses
• 23:16
  Speaker 20: to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports veterinary teams
• 23:21
  Speaker 20: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,
• 23:27
  Speaker 20: predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease, and even streamline
• 23:32
  Speaker 20: record keeping so veterinarians can focus more on patients. But
• 23:37
  Speaker 20: as with any new technology, always keep a human in
• 23:40
  Speaker 20: the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare. AI is
• 23:45
  Speaker 20: a powerful tool. but not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion,
• 23:50
  Speaker 20: and judgment, which remains at the center of our profession.

  Speaker 22: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 24:08
  Speaker 22: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 24:13
  Speaker 22: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 22: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 22: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 24:28
  Speaker 22: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 24:32
  Speaker 22: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:36
  Speaker 22: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 24:39
  Speaker 22: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 24:42
  Speaker 22: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
• 24:47

• 28:52
  Speaker 8: out of 19. Well, we'd like to thank the Yankees
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: for participating.
• 28:56
  Speaker 14: Wow.
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: Three errors in the first inning. Hey, that's a way
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: to keep your head in the game. I granted it.
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: You know, I go back to high school. I never
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: forget Valley High School. It was a rich high school
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: in Des Moines. In fact, that's where, well, Kalen played
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: for Dowling, but Valley was... Speaker 1 6,000. Speaker 2 6,000.
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: Speaker 1 6,000.
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: Speaker 2 6,000. Speaker 1 6,000. Speaker 2 6,000. Speaker
• 29:16
  Speaker 8: 1 6,000. Speaker 2 6,000.

  Speaker 2: Speaker 1 6,000.
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: Speaker 2 6,000.

  Speaker 2: Speaker 1 6,000. Speaker 2 6,000.
• 29:18
  Speaker 19: Speaker 2 6,000.

  Speaker 8: 2 6,000. Speaker 2 6,000. Speaker 2 6,000. Speaker 2 6,000.
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: Speaker 2 6,000. Speaker 2 6,000. Speaker 2 for the infield,
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: not the outfield, just for the infield. And it was like, we,
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: you know, our team had 21 errors or something, you know,
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: they couldn't handle that. And that, you know, that's what
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: Tampa needs, you know, new I'm not, I'm not making
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: excuses for the Yankees. They have not been good. And
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: Cam Schlittler was not good last night. So anyway, he
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: gave up four runs, six hits game three tomorrow night
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: in the Bronx. Now the, the stat that, that blew
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: me away as far as the And I looked it up.
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: In Cleveland, the White Sox took a 2-0 lead. They
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: won 4-3. So Chicago goes back to the Windy City,
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: and they are one win from moving on for the
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: first time in 21 years. Okay? I believe that. But
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: it's been 1906 since the Sox have clinched a series
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: at home. Was it that long?
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Holy cow.
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: I got to double check that, but that's what.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: I want to be your shoeless Joe. Yeah, exactly.
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: So anyway, the playoffs will move on. All right. Yesterday,
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: Alex Ovechkin made it clear that he is stepping down
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: from the world of hockey following this season. He turned
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: 41 September 17th. He will finish his 22nd season in
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: the league. Well, it took me a little while to
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: edit this.
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry. Oh, God.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Ghost in the machine.
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: No, that's fine. It took, uh, so it took me
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: a little while to edit this because, um, uh, he
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: spoke in the locker room, very, very low key. Uh,
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: he should have been miked by whoever was shooting this,
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: but he was not. So they had a boom mic
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: and it was, you know, it's pretty low, but I
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: think you'll be able to hear it anyway. He addressed
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: his team and, uh, it took him about, let's see,
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: I think I had 15 seconds, but it took him
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: about 60 to say this anyway.
• 31:11
  Speaker 18: This is going to be my last year. Um, uh,
• 31:14
  Speaker 18: like I'm pretty sure it's, uh, For me, for my family,
• 31:17
  Speaker 18: it's very important for you guys to know first. It's sad.
• 31:20
  Speaker 18: 82 games left. Let's make a playoffs. Let's have fun
• 31:25
  Speaker 18: and enjoy the moment.
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: Yep, there you go. So this season, Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: joined Gordie Howe, Alex DelVecchio, Stan Mikita, and Steve Yuzerman
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: as the only players in NHL history to play 22
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: seasons with one franchise.
• 31:41
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I know.
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: When Ovechkin made his season debut October 2nd, In Carolina,
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: he surpassed Walter Johnson, 21 seasons with the Washington Senators,
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: as the longest tenured athlete in the history. of Washington, D.C.
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: professional sports. So there you go.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: And to be fair, I mean, Washington, D.C. has a
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: tough time keeping sports teams for 20 years consecutively.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly. So 11 goals shy of passing Wayne Gretzky
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: for the most combined goals, regular season and playoffs. He
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: set the single season mark last year. Fourth shy of
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: passing Nicholas Backstrom for the most assists. In franchise history.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: I didn't know this. If he gets like a few
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: goals and assists, he might reach 14th on the all-time
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: list in points scored. He's the number one goal scorer,
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: but he's 14th in the list in total points?
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Wow.
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: He's 12 points shy of 1,700 career points and 25
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: games shy of 1,600 career points. games. So anyway, you
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: got to give it. All right. I thought that yesterday
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: when James Franklin was holding his press conference at Virginia
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: tech and Tony Elliott, same thing, Eric losing yesterday was
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: not overreaction Monday, but it was, you know, put the
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: wheels back on the bus Monday, you know, trying to
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: figure out, see tech travels to Cal and well, well,
• 33:10
  Speaker 8: James Franklin spent a good part of his press conference
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: talking about how they're going to get their, why they're
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: leaving early, you know, all the different things. He did
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: get the question about people didn't want to talk about
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: the field goal that we talked about, didn't really want
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: to get into the rules, and did you call conference office?
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: Nobody asked him, did you call the conference office? Now,
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: why no one asked him? He's not saying whether he
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: did or he didn't. Now, maybe he didn't because he
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: said it is what it is and there's nothing he
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: could do about it. But he did say, and this
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: sounds like every losing press conference overreaction Monday, as James
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: Franklin said, well, you got to deal with psych. You
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: got to deal with psyches.
• 33:50
  Speaker 24: Whether it's a quarterback who throws some interceptions or whether
• 33:53
  Speaker 24: it was a kicker or.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Any position that has a game that they would love
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: to have.
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: A redo over. or they're not pleased.
• 34:02
  Speaker 24: With how they played or felt like they had some
• 34:05
  Speaker 24: significant plays that they're not happy with, then, yeah, there's
• 34:10
  Speaker 24: an aspect of that that we've got to work through.
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: All right. So, anyway, Coach Elston is saying, well, we've
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: got to deal with this and we've got to deal
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: with that and so on and so forth. So, anyway,
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: as they move forward. Okay, this came to light. I'm
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: calling up the soundbite. This came to light the other day.
• 34:28
  Speaker 8: John Calipari, you know, of course, basketball is right around
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: the corner. John Calipari has been very, very vocal about,
• 34:34
  Speaker 8: you know, he said, what was it? He said he
• 34:38
  Speaker 8: had a player that his NIL money was going towards
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: child support. And, you know, there's just a lot of
• 34:45
  Speaker 8: conversations with. Well, John Calipari opened the door the other day.
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: The reason I keep up with Arkansas is because of
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: Hunter Urechek. Now, I'm not name dropping, but Hunter has
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: been a longtime friend. And it's not like we talk
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: every day. We don't. Hunter Urechek has done an outstanding
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: job as an athletic director. Coastal Carolina, went to Houston,
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: and now he's at Arkansas. So, with all that being said,
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: Calipari had some things going. to talk about regarding name
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: image likeness. You'll like this.
• 35:14
  Speaker 18: I'll say this.
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: I probably shouldn't. Nine of my players. I'm going to
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: say this. I probably shouldn't. Nine of my players make
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: more than my assistants.
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: So I forgot I had that front on the file.
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: Nine of his players make more money. Than his assistants.
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: You think there could be any? Could there be an issue?
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: And the other three make more than all my staff.
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: And we are not one of the highest payers. We're
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: just not. Then you could say, what about you? I've
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: been doing it 40 years. Started as a volunteer two
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: years as a part-time assistant. And I've kind of done
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: okay at different programs.
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: So, yeah, they're paying. So they're saying, well, they're not
• 36:05
  Speaker 8: making more than me. After all, I have been in
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: this for 40 years, you know, and I've done kind
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: of okay. Anyway, I'm going to cut this up. I'm
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: going to cut it up and have a little more
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: for you.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, nine players. This is just going to get nuttier.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: I said, you know, let's just, as I've said before,
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: and I'll say it again, Take the Band-Aid off. It's,
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: you know, just hire players. They're a marketing department. It's,
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: you know, the school athletic, you know, sports marketing division.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: We've hired, you know, this way Aaron Rodgers can go
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: play at Cal again and spare Pittsburgh the ignominy of
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: another season. And, you know, and just, you know, it's
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: about marketing your school. It's about getting your school on TV.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: James Madison University is running. rough shot over everyone in
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: the league more than they have in the years when
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: they have shown up on national television. And nobody's paying
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: any attention. These guys are like, well, Krispy Kreme has
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: given me, you know, 50 bucks, you know, and it's
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: just ludicrous. Just, you know, I don't know. You know,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: the networks are done. Their business model has gone the
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: way of the dinosaur industry. Every team has their own
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: YouTube channel now.
• 37:28
  Speaker 8: Well, the great thing about it is, too, now because
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: of the negotiation, they're trying to figure out with the
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: committee and Rich Clark, and we had this last week.
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: We talked about it. They want to go to 24.
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: By December 1, 24 teams in the playoffs, and that's
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: going to– we'll talk more about that when we have
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: more time.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: But you're right, Joe. This is so bad. The money
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: is going to go away, and they're going to come
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: after us, the taxpayers, to bail them out. That's this
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: whole protect college sports from themselves.
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: Happy Tuesday. Protect college sports.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, from themselves.

  Speaker 25: Hi, it's Mark Falter, host of the Financial Fitness Show.
• 38:05
  Speaker 25: I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
• 38:08
  Speaker 25: penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately
• 38:13
  Speaker 25: for most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case.
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 38:16
  Speaker 25: Because most people spend more time planning next weekend's getaway
• 38:21
  Speaker 25: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less in taxes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 25: My financial fitness team has put together some materials that
• 38:27
  Speaker 25: I know are going to help you. It's the tax
• 38:29
  Speaker 25: savings kit. Tax savings kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
• 38:35
  Speaker 25: top 10 ways to pay less in taxes, and an
• 38:37
  Speaker 25: investor's guide to taxes. Now, how do you get it? Simple.

  Speaker 22: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 39:09
  Speaker 22: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 22: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 22: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 22: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 39:28
  Speaker 22: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 39:33
  Speaker 22: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 22: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 39:40
  Speaker 22: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 39:42
  Speaker 22: your hands and feet. Well, our products, Ultimate Nitric Oxide

  Speaker 26: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:37
  Speaker 26: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 26: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 26: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 26: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 26: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 26: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 41:00
  Speaker 26: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

  Speaker 1: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: His name is Tom Drops Bombs. He actually has a
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: given Christian name, but we call him Tom Drops Bombs,
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: and that's what they call him on YouTube as well. Facebook,
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: it's a little bit more straight-laced there. He is Delegate
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Tom Garrett on Facebook for the followers. They're here to
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: drop bombs with us this morning. How you doing, my
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: brother from another mother?
• 44:54
  Speaker 19: Dude, I'm doing well.
• 44:56
  Speaker 18: How are you?
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Excellent, as always. And the blessings upon your face, they be. Tom, yesterday,
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: and I want to apologize because you were telling me
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: kind of what you wanted to get into this morning.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: And I want to apologize for any perceived lack of
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: enthusiasm because you were telling me a very important story.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: But the story is of a politician that was disingenuous.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: And I'm sorry. I'm like, really? And we're surprised why?
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: But I guess each one has their own path of
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: disingenuity that they have to follow. You're going to love
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: this story, by the way, because it involves a celebrity,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: you know, one of one of the one of the
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: whistleblowing brothers of legend and the Trump one administration. But, Tom,
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: this is this is this is fun and frolic in
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: four part harmony, man. Great story.
• 45:56
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 45:56
  Speaker 19: Born in the former Soviet Union, a former member of
• 45:59
  Speaker 19: the United States intelligence community.
• 46:01
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 46:03
  Speaker 19: You don't call me Evgeny Eugene Finman. You know, everybody
• 46:08
  Speaker 19: in their life, everybody in their life will run, but
• 46:12
  Speaker 19: not everyone will run like Usain Bolt. And politicians tend
• 46:15
  Speaker 19: to do things that are less than genuine at times.
• 46:19
  Speaker 19: And I know that's a shock to your listening audience,
• 46:21
  Speaker 19: but this guy really Olympic gold medal level. So let
• 46:25
  Speaker 19: me walk you through this.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: Now, he's a member of Congress now, for those who
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: only remember him you know, walking down the hall and
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: hearing from a friend who heard it from another guy
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: who heard a phone conversation that Trump may have talked to.
• 46:39
  Speaker 18: Zelensky.
• 46:40
  Speaker 19: He's part of the Adam Schiff. I have stunning and
• 46:44
  Speaker 19: compelling proof of Russia collusion that we still haven't seen, right?
• 46:49
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 46:49
  Speaker 19: So, but he's literally part of that subset. They know
• 46:52
  Speaker 19: each other, they're buddies. So in July of 2026, Republicans
• 46:59
  Speaker 19: have a bill before Congress that would ban members of
• 47:02
  Speaker 19: Congress from using information that they gleaned from their committee
• 47:05
  Speaker 19: assignments to invest in stocks and enrich themselves.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, good idea.
• 47:10
  Speaker 19: Republicans voted unanimously to pass this bill. 13 Democrats joined them,
• 47:15
  Speaker 19: 77% of whom were in swing districts. Now, what this
• 47:18
  Speaker 19: tells us is that apparently Republicans care about corruption in Washington,
• 47:22
  Speaker 19: but Democrats don't, or Democrats think their voters are too
• 47:25
  Speaker 19: dumb to actually do the research. So all the Republicans
• 47:28
  Speaker 19: vote for a bill to stop members from insider trading,
• 47:31
  Speaker 19: and 13 Democrats joined them. It passes the House. Don't worry,
• 47:34
  Speaker 19: it's not passing the Senate. But who votes against that bill?
• 47:38
  Speaker 19: Don't call me. You've got me. Eugene Vindman votes against
• 47:42
  Speaker 19: that bill. But he's got an opponent, Doug Oliphant in
• 47:46
  Speaker 19: Virginia's 7th District. Go find Doug Oliphant, who's just diagnosed
• 47:49
  Speaker 19: with cancer and will press on and continue the race. Army,
• 47:53
  Speaker 19: I think Ranger, Colonel, super good candidate. He's got an opponent.
• 47:58
  Speaker 19: And so Vindman's consultant, I presume, says, oh, it probably
• 48:01
  Speaker 19: looks bad that you voted to allow Democrats to continue
• 48:04
  Speaker 19: to do their insider trading. That could hurt you in
• 48:07
  Speaker 19: the campaign. And you voted against that bill. So not
• 48:10
  Speaker 19: to be bothered by facts and truth. Vindman says, I
• 48:15
  Speaker 19: now literally from July to August, I now oppose Vindman.
• 48:19
  Speaker 19: members of Congress trading on insider information. And I oppose
• 48:23
  Speaker 19: it so much that I'm going to file a bill
• 48:26
  Speaker 19: to stop it. So August 31st, that is about 40
• 48:29
  Speaker 19: days after he voted against it, he filed the very
• 48:32
  Speaker 19: same bill. Now, October the 2nd, 2026, now he filed
• 48:38
  Speaker 19: that bill 19 days before early voting started in Virginia.
• 48:43
  Speaker 19: So 40 days after he voted against it, 19 days
• 48:45
  Speaker 19: before early voting starts. Now, fast forward two weeks later,
• 48:49
  Speaker 19: And he releases a TV ad that says there are
• 48:52
  Speaker 19: two Wall Streets, one in Washington, New York, where Washington
• 48:56
  Speaker 19: insiders take information to enrich themselves, and another here in
• 48:59
  Speaker 19: Stafford County, Virginia. And I'm all about Stafford County. I
• 49:03
  Speaker 19: have never seen anything like it. And he looks at
• 49:06
  Speaker 19: the camera and says, if you reelect me, I will
• 49:09
  Speaker 19: work to ban Washington Congress people from insider trading. So
• 49:14
  Speaker 19: the timeline is July 21st votes against it. August 31st
• 49:17
  Speaker 19: submits the exact same bill he just won. against. 19
• 49:22
  Speaker 19: days before early voting, and then runs a TV ad saying,
• 49:25
  Speaker 19: look how much I oppose this. I'm going to carry
• 49:27
  Speaker 19: a bill to stop it. I've never seen it. Like
• 49:30
  Speaker 19: I said, we will all at some point in our
• 49:31
  Speaker 19: lives run, but not everyone will run like Usain Bolt.
• 49:34
  Speaker 19: And Washington politicians will all at some point perhaps be disingenuous,
• 49:39
  Speaker 19: but nobody does it as low as don't call me Evgeny,
• 49:42
  Speaker 19: born in the former Soviet Union, Vindman. Who was preceded
• 49:45
  Speaker 19: in the 7th District of Virginia in Congress by somebody named, oh, gosh, Joe,
• 49:50
  Speaker 19: help me here.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: Abby Normal, right.
• 49:53
  Speaker 19: Oh, my gosh.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: So, and as my confession portends, at first I was not, oh, wait,
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: hold it, you know, dog chases cat, congressman lies. But
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: you're right. This is Olympic level tomfoolery.
• 50:12
  Speaker 8: And it is.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: What he's hoping for that the 40% voter turnout that
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: the seventh congressional district will see, um, 20% of them
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: will be like, yeah, yeah. Bernie Sanders, man, he's, he's
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: trying to inoculate himself unless there was some visitation in the,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: you know, house office building that his office is in.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: And Jesus himself came and put his hand on your
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: big knees head and said, you, you are wrong. Um,
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: I which I don't think I think we would have
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: heard about a celestial visit at the congressional office complex.
• 50:50
  Speaker 19: First of all, the Democrats believe in Jesus. So that's
• 50:54
  Speaker 19: not true. I was speaking to a wonderful Democrat friend.
• 50:57
  Speaker 19: And I mean that. And she said, you have a
• 51:00
  Speaker 19: complex poison pill that Republicans have in there that caused
• 51:03
  Speaker 19: him to vote against. And the answer is none. Thirteen
• 51:05
  Speaker 19: Democrats voted. voted for it, again, I think it's noteworthy
• 51:10
  Speaker 19: that 77% of them were in districts that leave Republican that.
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: They have to hold.
• 51:15
  Speaker 19: But no, there was no poison pill. It was a
• 51:18
  Speaker 19: clean bill. And, you know, it was a bad idea
• 51:22
  Speaker 19: in July. It was such a good idea in August
• 51:24
  Speaker 19: that he put in the exact same bill he just
• 51:27
  Speaker 19: voted against. But here's the kicker. He ran a TV
• 51:30
  Speaker 19: ad saying, I'm the guy who'll stop Washington insiders from
• 51:34
  Speaker 19: benefiting from.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: Isn't that the problem with being, I mean, there's a
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: lot of upside of being an incumbent. I was talking
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: to Bert Misazawa, who's running for the U.S. Senate against
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Mark Warner, who was actually part of the Washington administration,
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: I believe, or maybe Lincoln.
• 51:51
  Speaker 8: I'm not sure.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: He's been around a while. You know, he's got all
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: these promises of things he's going to fix in Washington
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: after having, you know, served for 18 years in in Congress.
• 52:03
  Speaker 19: Yeah, the two terms come. He promised a blood oath,
• 52:08
  Speaker 19: did Mark Warner, that he was going to serve two
• 52:09
  Speaker 19: terms and walk off into the sunset with his ill-begotten gains.
• 52:13
  Speaker 19: from the cable telecommunications industry that would be illegal had
• 52:17
  Speaker 19: he done them today. But I digress, and he's running
• 52:20
  Speaker 19: for his fourth term. So it announced to me what
• 52:22
  Speaker 19: it's easy to say all politicians lie. I did serve
• 52:24
  Speaker 19: two years in Washington, and I would challenge you to
• 52:27
  Speaker 19: find something I said I was going to try to
• 52:29
  Speaker 19: do that I didn't.
• 52:29
  Speaker 8: Try to do.
• 52:30
  Speaker 19: I mean it. I mean, I'd love to know what
• 52:32
  Speaker 19: it is because I don't.
• 52:33
  Speaker 8: Know what it is.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: Well, but there's also the difference because you were smart
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: enough to say, I'm going to try to do that.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: where other people said, I'm going to go fight for you.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: And then, you know, people have their own definitions of
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: what a fight looks like if you're going to.
• 52:51
  Speaker 27: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:54
  Speaker 27: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: It was MediShare that came through for us and there
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: was no hassles.
• 53:00
  Speaker 8: There was no problem.
• 53:02
  Speaker 27: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:05
  Speaker 27: of such an incredible ministry.
• 53:07
  Speaker 15: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
• 53:11
  Speaker 15: share each other's medical expenses.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 53:20
