  Speaker 6: And we'll do it live.
• 0:11
  Speaker 7: Joe works at a steel mill.
• 0:13
  Speaker 8: Works damn near every day.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Even Saturdays.

  Speaker 12: He only aims to please you.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Thank you for letting me be of service to you.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Here's how we do things. I will tell you what
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: they tried to sneak out the back door on a
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Friday afternoon thinking everyone's sleeping in today.
• 0:50
  Speaker 13: Wrong.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Because it's not like Saturdays 50 years ago where, you know,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: get the paper, leisurely cup of coffee. a honey-do list
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: at the big box store. No, no, no, no, no.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: We go to work. We go to work because we
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: got to pay the bills. And so bills to be paid,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: we are up and we are paying attention. I'll tell
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: you what they did last night. I will tell you
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: my analysis of it. Certainly, that's my quid for your
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: pro quo. And then you tell me how it's impacting
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: you where you are. The most important part locally of
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: your radio station is you. And if they don't tell
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: you that, you've got to tend your relationships. That's the
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: thing about relationships. You must tend them. And I never
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: learned that from my dad when I could have easily,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: just by example. I mean, my dad would go take
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: meetings that didn't seem to make any sense to me whatsoever.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And he would go and we'd, all right, they made
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: some sense because most of them were in a pub
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: somewhere or a restaurant and whatever. I got that enjoyable
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: part of hanging out with him. But then every time
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: dad needed something, all he had to do was start
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: making phone calls because he would go in and he
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: would visit people. And there was no onus about coming
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: by to visit. He would just, hey, how you doing?
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Your wife, my kids, whatever. But they would kibitz. They'd
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: talk about the Mets or whatever else was on their mind.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: And they would go about their way, and I would
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: sit there and say, Dad, what was that all about?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: He says, just visiting with a friend. But then if
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: he needed something, they were putting an event together, he
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: could call him and say, hey, Tom, I need some stuff.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: And they were there. It wasn't like he was getting
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: it for free, but there's an effort and an enthusiasm
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: to working together when the relationships are tended. And that's
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: what we do here. We tend relationships each morning at 434-882-4217. So,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the list of things they tried to sneak out the
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: alley on a Friday afternoon. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Judge Indira
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Talwani in Boston issued a 14-day temporary restraining order. blocking
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the U.S. Postal Service from enforcing President Trump's executive order
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: on mail ballots, mailing postal ballots. We can't say mail ballots,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: anything you want to identify as, we have to send
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you a ballot. Apparently, the administration Friday afternoon has appealed
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: that ruling. Democratic National Committee, so sure they're going to
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: win all their elections in the midterms, has now started
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: a special division within the DNC of at least eight
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: lawyers standing by to sue. Litigating department has been established.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: The in-house legal shop is led by Dan Freeman, who
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: spent 15 years as a trial attorney before joining the DNC,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: along with Ken Martin. The Trump administration is taking steps
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: to limit an Egyptian bank's operations in the United Arab Emirates.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: accusing the financial institution of serving as an economic lifeline
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: to Iran's leadership in violation of the economic D-Day proposals
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and plans. President Trump Friday also said U.S. has entered
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: an agreement with Venezuela to take control of 65 billion
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: barrels of South American country's oil reserves. A social media
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: post on Truth Social announced the agreement. Secretary of State
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Marco Rubio said that it creates stable reserves and low-cost
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: oil in our hemisphere, and for the Venezuelan people, it
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: brings nearly $ 100 billion in private investment, supports thousands of
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: high-paying jobs in the Venezuelan economy. Meanwhile, our economy's boss,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Kevin Warsh, the Federal Reserve Chair, said Friday that inflation
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: is still too high and suggested the central bank might
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: have to raise interest rates in the coming months to
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: bring it down. A military judge has ruled that the
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: September 11th mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's 2007 confession to FBI
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: agents was involuntary and therefore cannot be used. Air Force
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Lieutenant Colonel Michael Sharma had earlier in the week announced
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: that the trial would be in 2028. The judge overseeing
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the military commission at Guantanamo Bay also ruled that statements
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Muhammad made during the subsequent FBI investigations are also inadmissible.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: And those are some of our first things on this
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Saturday morning. Hi, this is Bud.
• 6:08
  Speaker 14: Foster, co-host of Foster and Friends and former Virginia Tech
• 6:11
  Speaker 14: football coach. When I brought the famed lunch pail to
• 6:14
  Speaker 14: our team, it symbolized teamwork. The word win stood for
• 6:17
  Speaker 14: what's important now. The Lunch Pail Defense Foundation realizes the
• 6:22
  Speaker 14: importance of helping others. Our foundation is a nonprofit corporation
• 6:26
  Speaker 14: that helps fund academic scholarship for eligible high school students.
• 6:30
  Speaker 14: Since 2009, the Lunch Pail Defense Foundation has raised nearly $ 400, 000
• 6:33
  Speaker 14: and awarded over 40 individual scholarships. We also support an
• 6:39
  Speaker 14: organ transplant program in conjunction with Duke University Medical Center.
• 6:43
  Speaker 14: For information regarding corporate sponsorship or becoming an individual supporter,
• 6:48
  Speaker 14: log on to our site at lunchpaledefense.com. It's always been
• 6:53
  Speaker 14: important to win, especially when we're helping others.
• 7:01
  Speaker 15: Let's see, if something costs less, a lot less, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 15: people are actually happier with it, That sounds like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 15: to look into.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: And that's MediShare.
• 7:10
  Speaker 15: Maybe you've heard joining MediShare can save you or your
• 7:12
  Speaker 15: family up to 500 bucks a month. And that's huge,
• 7:15
  Speaker 15: but it's also true.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: People are just happier with it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 15: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
• 7:21
  Speaker 15: their values and what they believe in. MediShare works too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 15: It's been around for 30 years now and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 15: shared more than $ 7 billion of each other's bills. People
• 7:31
  Speaker 15: love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network. So MediShare, Yeah, really,
• 7:36
  Speaker 15: you can save a ton and like it better. Imagine
• 7:38
  Speaker 15: being happy with how you're taking care of your health care,
• 7:41
  Speaker 15: whether you're self-employed or part of the gig economy, or
• 7:43
  Speaker 15: you just want a plan that you're happy with.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Here you go.
• 7:46

  Speaker 2: It's 855-SHARE-40. 855-S-H-A-R-E-40. 855-SHARE-40.
• 8:04
  Speaker 16: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 16: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 16: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 16: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 16: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 16: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 16: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 16: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 16: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer and
• 8:46
  Speaker 16: in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 16: healthy cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com where we help you

  Speaker 13: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 13: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 13: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 13: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 13: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 13: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 13: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 13: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 13: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 13: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 13: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 13: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov
• 9:53
  Speaker 13: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 17: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 17: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 17: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 17: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 17: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 17: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 17: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:18
  Speaker 17: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 17: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 17: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 17: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 17: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
• 10:33
  Speaker 17: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 17: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 17: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 17: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 17: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:48
  Speaker 17: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 17: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 17: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 16: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 17: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 18: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 19: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 11: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 11: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:26
  Speaker 12: Woo!
• 11:29
  Speaker 20: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 20: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 20: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 20: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 20: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can

• 11:54
  Speaker 20: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 20: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 20: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 20: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:08
  Speaker 20: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it

  Speaker 21: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35

  Speaker 4: Soldiers On your to-do list, putting the radio on is
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: the first thing today.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: this morning. Turn it up. Don't worry about the neighbors.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: They need to hear it, too.
• 13:28
  Speaker 16: All across America, talk radio and the voices of freedom.
• 13:33
  Speaker 12: Hi.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Don't stop.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Don't stop sharing. Don't stop laughing. Don't stop caring. I
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: want to talk to your manager.
• 13:42
  Speaker 17: As long as you've got a voice, don't ever stop.
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: Make our freedom shine longer.
• 13:53
  Speaker 21: Spread the love all around.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Build our friendships much stronger. And make every moment profound.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Or at least, you know, bombastic. If you can't be profound,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: be bombastic. That's what they teach you at the Connecticut
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: School of Broadcasting. It's not actually, but it sounds funny
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: when you say it. Anyway, 434-882-4217. That's the multitasking hotline.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: You can call it. You can text message to it.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Don't try to use it as a dessert topping, though. Well,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: that was awkward. That really gets quite messy. Is that
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: an editorial comment?
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: There.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I want to begin with something, and I get it,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: and we will be reaching out to the progenitor of
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: it because one of our great affiliates is KPPF Power
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Talk 1040 out of Colorado Springs, and Colorado Springs congressman,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: has introduced a piece of legislation that I understand completely
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: why you would do it. But I don't know if you— me,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I'm all about the ramifications. But a bill was introduced
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Friday in the U.S. House of Representatives by Jeff Crank,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Republican congressman from Colorado Springs. The measure condemns and denounces
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: socialism in all of its forms. Jeff, as somebody who
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: would be serving in the same caucuses that you would be,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: or at least be in the same meetings, I would,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: if I was a representative, say, of the 5th Congressional
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: District in Virginia, where I live, what? No, McGuire isn't
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: freaking out that I just announced a problem. It's a hypothetical.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: John gets that. I'm not saying I'm running against him.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Lord knows everyone else says somebody is. He's got enough
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: trouble with Perriello. May I? Thank you. If I were
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: in one of Jeff Crank's caucuses, I would put my
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: arm around him and say, Jeff, I fully support this
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: if you mean everything that begins with any legislation tied
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: to the Great Society. Right? I mean, I could force
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: him to go all the way back to 1933 and
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: make work and all of that. I mean, we could
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: take this bill and unwind Social Security. We could save
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Social Security by ceasing the requests we're making against it.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: I heard an ad. I guess it was on one
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: of the sports games. It was one of these, you know,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: call us and we'll do the work for you for
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: an upcharge. You know the ones. hey, we will file
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: your business license application with the state for $ 150, for
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: just $ 150 when the application costs $ 25. But we'll do
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: it for you for $ 150. Let's just love these people.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: But it was one of those ads. It was about
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: applying for Social Security benefits if you're not 65 but
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: have been declared permanently disabled. And I get it. You're
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: looking for some way to make ends meet, but let's
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: get into the realities of it. Therefore, there's a bigger
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: and bigger population of Americans under the age of 65
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: who are getting Social Security benefits. Let's not even begin
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: to talk about the non-citizens that the Biden administration decided
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: should be getting Social Security benefits. So just Social Security alone,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: we could save by ceasing it. Pull the plug. It's
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: in hospice. I know, you're freaking out. Joe, whoa! Most
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: of us get the fact that Social Security is supposed
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: to be a stipend on top of whatever you've saved
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: for retirement. Unfortunately, all the baby boomers were so busy
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: having free love at Yazger's farm in the back of
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: a VW microbus, nobody thought to save anything. So now
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: we have this population of octogenarians and no money in
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: the bank. 434-882-4217. Though I would put my arm around
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Jeff Crank and say, you know, Jeff, I fully support this.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Let's go back to all the stuff Lyndon Johnson started
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: to put in under the Great Society, because everything that
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: begins there is American socialism. I am fully down with
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: the boogie down when it comes to denouncing socialism. It's
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: the only political form along with its adjunct follow-up, which
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: is Marxism. Communism, it's the only political ideology that comes
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: with body bags sold separately. Hundreds. We talk about the 40,000
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Iranians that have been hung in public squares because they
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: did what you're probably going to do at some point
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: this morning and call or text a radio program complaining
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: about the government. Hell, I'm here complaining about the government.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: If we were in Tehran right now, there'd already be
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: folks hutting towards my door. But why would you support,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: why shouldn't we be denouncing socialism? And I get it.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: It's symbolism as the march of democratic socialism is going around.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Mike Johnson's out there making speeches against the socialists, the
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: democratic socialists. There's a pensioner who gets Social Security listening
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: on Long Island News Radio this morning, I think online.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I don't think where she's, if I know where she's living,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: she doesn't get 103. Well, I don't know. It's been
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: a long time since I've rock and rolled. They're at 103.9
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: FM on Long Island, but she's listening there and she says,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: much more money than 65 plus gets, more than double.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: She's talking about the, folks who get aid under Social Security,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: and then we hand-wring, and, oh, Social Security has gone bankrupt.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Because we're playing with it like it's—because it's discretionary to
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: the government. The government can say, hey, here's a group
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: of people we want to subsidize, so let's give them
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Social Security money. Did they— well, define, deserve it. That's what
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: they do. So Jeff, Bobby, and we'll reach out to
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: him since we have great affiliate in Colorado Springs. I
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: want to give him a chance to talk to his
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: home folks via this program. I'm all for it. Let's
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: start with the great society and we'll start unwinding all
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: of the socialism starting there.
• 22:01
  Speaker 12: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
• 22:05
  Speaker 12: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
• 22:08
  Speaker 12: at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a
• 22:12
  Speaker 12: week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes does
• 22:15
  Speaker 12: not need to be super intense. As a matter of fact,
• 22:17
  Speaker 12: it could just be you moving your body and doing
• 22:20
  Speaker 12: what you already love.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: To do, like exercise.
• 22:22
  Speaker 12: And a stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right? It
• 22:25
  Speaker 12: means also infusing your workout routines with strength training as well.

• 23:02
  Speaker 9: But now, as wind energy continues to grow, many of
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: these vessels, these companies, these people are building and servicing
• 23:09
  Speaker 9: the offshore wind industry. Moving equipment, installing turbines, transporting crews, it's.
• 23:14
  Speaker 11: A huge opportunity, and we're proud to be a part
• 23:17
  Speaker 11: of that.
• 23:17

  Speaker 16: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 16: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 16: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 16: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  Speaker 16: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  Speaker 16: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 16: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 16: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
• 24:43
  Speaker 16: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 24:46
  Speaker 16: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
• 24:51

  Speaker 2: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 25:57
  Speaker 12: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Heart and brain.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 22: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 19: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: Somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 18: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Me too.
• 26:17
  Speaker 11: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 11: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:23
  Speaker 20: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:26
  Speaker 20: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:30
  Speaker 20: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 20: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:37
  Speaker 20: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:41
  Speaker 20: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 20: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 20: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 20: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 20: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:59
  Speaker 20: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 20: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 20: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 20: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

• 28:26
  Speaker 4: on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:27
  Speaker 20: Turn the radio up.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Hold that.
• 28:32
  Speaker 10: Sweet sound.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Hold that clown who's never let me go.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: The snuggliest conservative talk radio you're going to get anywhere. Actually,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: I started crazy, but it makes it easier. Don't turn
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: the radio around. I didn't mean to make it weird
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: there this Saturday morning. You know, I promised you that
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: we would, and I certainly had hoped that somebody, and
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: this may be indicative of what's going on in the
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: empire state, um, Because I'm sure Kathy Hochul is polling
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: like crazy. And I don't mean in that weird way
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: where you need to bring singles. I'm sorry, this is
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: going to take a little bit to get that image
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: out of my head. Anyway, so Kathy Hochul, I figured
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: after the tornadoes of a week and a half ago
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: and Bruce Blakeman getting on all the TVs across all
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: of New York for at least three consecutive days would
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: cut into the 47% of the voters in New York
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: who had never heard of him. Because when 47% of
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: New York voters had never heard of Bruce Blakeman, he
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: was still within four percentage points of beating Kathy Hochul,
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: the first governor in history to ostensibly lose to none
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: of the above. So I told you last Saturday, I said, well,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: we'll come back, we'll get you, and there'll be fresh
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: polling data. And apparently nobody in New York is interested
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: in polling the urgency of New Yorkers regarding, oh, the governor,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: And I think that in alone tells the story. If
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: they don't want to know, if Kathy Hochul isn't out
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: there having the New York Daily News commission a poll
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: or the Poughkeepsie Journal, they know. They know, Snuffy knows,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: that now people have seen Bruce Blakeman and they're like, oh,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: that's the guy running against, I like him. He handled
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: the tornado. which, you know, for most New Yorkers, even
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: if it is, you know, a lake effect snowstorm off
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: of Lake America. Come on, you don't think somebody in
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Connecticut listening at 1490 WGCH doesn't think it should be
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: called the Connecticut Sound? You know, don't you think anyone
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: at Bionis Point isn't sitting there saying, hey, why is
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: this called the Long Island Sound? Why isn't it called
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: the Connecticut Sound? It's a reasonable question. There's not as
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: much shipping going through it as the Strait of Hormuz,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: but you start to get the point. I mean, Connecticut
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: and Long Island people sort of had that same relationship
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: that Iranians and Oman have. Kidding.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Mehre.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: But you can imagine when Lake of America affects snow,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: buries Syracuse and Buffalo and Rochester under five, six feet
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: of snow, that Governor Bruce Blakeman might be able to
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: handle it okay. Since something that never happens, like a
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: tornado ripping up a whole beachfront area down the street
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: from his house, he seemed to be pretty well equipped
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: to marshal the herd. So I was curious, and I
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: think that the lack of a poll in New York...
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've got everything here. I've got... I can
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: tell you, talk about just since we gathered last week,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: I've got, what, three polls about the Texas governor's race,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: four polls about the Pennsylvania governor's race, and three... three
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: about the Connecticut governor's race and un gots, as we
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: used to say in Brooklyn, regarding the New York governor's race.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: That's just amazing to me. I can even get into
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: polls about the Massachusetts governor's race or Rhode Island. Whoever,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: you know, whoever has the shortest conviction sheet is probably
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: going to be the governor of Rhode Island, right? That's
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: how it works, right? It's not if you've served time.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: It's how you've served your time in Rhode Island. Let
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: me get to you on this Saturday morning at 434-882-4217.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Good morning. You're on the air with Joe. Who's this?
• 33:44
  Speaker 19: Hey, good morning, Joe.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: It's Joel. Hi, good morning, Joel. How are you? Let
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: me see here. Let me see here. Like I said,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: I've got all these polls, all these gubernatorial polls, and
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: I know at least two of them were Arizona polls.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: where you is at, and here it is. Well, I
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: was going to tell you good news here, but apparently
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Hobbs is between 6 and 16 points averaging in these
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: polls ahead of Andy Biggs there. Andy Biggs, of course,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: not suffering with that lack of notoriety that Bruce Blakeman
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: has there. What's the feel amongst the folks you know?
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Does Andy Biggs have a chance? I think he's brilliant.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: I've got one of the rare national figures that I've
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: had a chance to meet and talk to. I think
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: he's awesome. But they love Katie Hobbs.
• 34:42
  Speaker 12: Why?
• 34:43
  Speaker 19: I don't know. I have a twin sister here, so
• 34:50
  Speaker 19: I can't really talk about her. because she's on the
• 34:54
  Speaker 19: opposite end.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: I hate to say that. Well, I hope you can
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: talk about something.
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: Well, no, no.
• 35:02
  Speaker 19: But I mean, as far as my opinion, I know
• 35:07
  Speaker 19: a little bit about what he's trying to do, and
• 35:09
  Speaker 19: I think he's pretty good. But then again, I think
• 35:13
  Speaker 19: you need to appeal more to the present day. You
• 35:16
  Speaker 19: need to appeal more to the younger people. And I
• 35:19
  Speaker 19: think Katie Hobbs is... And I'm not a supporter of her,
• 35:23
  Speaker 19: but her commercials are what I've seen and advertising.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Is she running a lot of that? Does she have
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: a lot of ads running? You know, like, yeah, I mean, she, she.
• 35:33
  Speaker 19: She shows that she's, she's worked some blue collar jobs
• 35:38
  Speaker 19: and she's there kind of like, kind of like trying
• 35:41
  Speaker 19: to represent, uh, and she's for the wall, you know,
• 35:43
  Speaker 19: for Arizona, but I'm, I'm still in, my heart is
• 35:46
  Speaker 19: still in Florida with Byron Donald. So I, I mean,
• 35:49
  Speaker 19: I hope, I hope, uh andy biggs i mean whatever
• 35:52
  Speaker 19: i can do to support him i'll do but i
• 35:55
  Speaker 19: wanted to call about this can i i want to
• 35:57
  Speaker 19: make this quick because i know everybody wants to get
• 35:59
  Speaker 19: their calling and you don't really have that much time
• 36:01
  Speaker 19: on saturday.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Listen to you you know unlike so many other people
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: what's that line was the movie uh ghostbusters we're ready
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: to believe you uh go ahead what's on your mind
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: i think I don't know.
• 36:15
  Speaker 19: I heard the tease that I like the person that
• 36:19
  Speaker 19: you have doing the deep voice of the person doing
• 36:24
  Speaker 19: the national news teases.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: But I like.
• 36:30
  Speaker 19: Anya Presley, the bald-headed lady from the senator.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Ayanna, yeah.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: Ayanna.
• 36:39
  Speaker 19: I mean, she's such a knucklehead, but... I like what
• 36:42
  Speaker 19: she said that it's so stupid that the Confederacy is
• 36:46
  Speaker 19: still alive and that's all MAGA. I mean, first of all,
• 36:50
  Speaker 19: she belongs. But first of all, she belongs to a
• 36:53
  Speaker 19: party that was that was the endorser of all the
• 36:57
  Speaker 19: Confederacy and slavery.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Well, that's why they want to take it all down.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: They want to take it all down because these were
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: all Democrats. All these, you know, all these people, you know,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: they just took more statues down here in Richmond, Virginia.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: which was the capital of the Confederacy and Jefferson Davis
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: was a Democrat.
• 37:15
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 37:15
  Speaker 19: I mean, it's just, it, I don't, I don't know,
• 37:18
  Speaker 19: but I don't know what, where, I mean, I know
• 37:21
  Speaker 19: she's trying to appeal to the short brains, the people
• 37:24

• 37:36
  Speaker 19: And then I like how she framed it. She said, oh,
• 37:39
  Speaker 19: it's the conservative platform, the anti-freedom fascist agenda, dismantling diversity. No,
• 37:46
  Speaker 19: what they're doing is dismantling. We're trying to figure out
• 37:50
  Speaker 19: where the money is going, who it's going to. Besides,
• 37:54
  Speaker 19: you opened up the gate for your slavery, your slaves,
• 37:59
  Speaker 19: your undocumented people.

  Speaker 3: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:14

  Speaker 22: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 22: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 22: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 22: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 22: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:22
  Speaker 22: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 22: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  Speaker 22: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:33
  Speaker 22: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:37
  Speaker 22: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: Eat better.

  Speaker 4: For you from Joe Thomas, it's first thing today.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Hey, you know, America got a little bit saner this week. Um,
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: And I know why now. I realized it was I
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: hear the bumper music playing in my head. Meghan Markle
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: is back in England. She and Prince Ginger are back there.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: Is he still, you know, is he the royal formerly
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: known as Prince now? Him and his uncle. but back
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: in the... Oh, and the funny thing is, you read
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: any British press, this is.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know how this is considered a big deal.
• 45:12
  Speaker 19: It's kind of like when I was watching Sharpton... you know,
• 45:16
  Speaker 19: a guy.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: And you forced yourself to watch him. Oh my gosh.
• 45:19
  Speaker 21: No, no, no.
• 45:20
  Speaker 19: I watched the, I watched the broadcast from the freedom movement,
• 45:23
  Speaker 19: you know, the 63, I can only watch about five
• 45:26
  Speaker 19: or 10 minutes. Cause it had Bernie on it and stuff, but,
• 45:29
  Speaker 19: but Sharpton gets on there. And I heard that when
• 45:32
  Speaker 19: he was doing his preaching in New York, that he
• 45:35
  Speaker 19: actually got paid under pay, you know, And he got
• 45:39
  Speaker 19: paid like $ 850, 000 that secretly disappeared.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: And so all these Democrats. There's a great video somewhere.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: So I can't remember if it's Mike or Mark. There's
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: a Taibbi does some great investigative journalism right now. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: But his dad, when I was your age, was an
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: investigative reporter as well for NBC Channel 4 in New York.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: And during the whole Tawana Brawley case, He did this
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: wonderful report, Chuck Scarborough and Sue Simmons throw it to
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: Mike Taibbi outside of Al Sharpton's church. And it's all
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: fenced up and all plywood over the windows. And it's
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: been closed for multiple years. All the weeds are growing.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: And Mike Taibbi, the opening line, what you see behind me, Chuck,
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: is Al Sharpton's church, at least as listed on his
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: license to be a minister. Oh, it was beautiful. I'm like,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: what a con man that was. But, yes, and still
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: to this day. And I won't– this is more than
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: I choose to talk about Al Sharpton. I know. Until
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: he pays Tawana Broly's legal fees because he made himself
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: very wealthy and then left, knowing that she was lying,
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: promoting the fact that he knew she was lying and
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: kept dragging it out and dragging it out. And now,
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: you know, two New York State troopers won a state
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: because he took his own life because of the ruination
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: that he and she brought on him. But they all
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: won judgments against Tawana Brawley. And she's a nurse like
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: you are. Now she works at a retirement community, believe
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: it or not, in the Richmond area. And she can't
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: pay this money to these families. I mean, yes, she lied.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: But Al Sharpton made himself a wealthy man. by promulgating
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: her lie and rode out of town saying, not my problem,
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: and has been sitting on his fat rumpus ever since.
• 47:44
  Speaker 19: It's so funny when I see him, and I don't
• 47:46
  Speaker 19: usually make fun of people, but, man, you know, he
• 47:50
  Speaker 19: lost so much weight that his head, like, sticks out
• 47:53
  Speaker 19: like a giant raisin on a pole.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: He's the fuzzy end of the lollipop without question. Anyway, Joel,
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: I'll talk to you later, my friend.
• 48:03
  Speaker 19: All right, thanks.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: All right. 434-882-4217, the multitasker, so that once I've told
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: you what went on. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: get caught. He mentioned Al Sharpton. It's like one of
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: those Niagara Falls. Slowly I turn. I can't help myself.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: The guy is such a hate profiteer, and he just
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: is one of these critters that I can't help. getting
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: fixated on trying to drive out of our American yard.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: Good morning. You're on the air with Joe. First thing
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: this morning, who's this? Hey, Joe, it's Clark. Morning, Clark.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: How are you doing in Alabama? Man, it's a good day.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Full moon going down, full sun coming up.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: Got it going on. Was this one of the special
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: moons that was like, you know, orange moon or orange man.
• 48:56
  Speaker 7: Moon or something?
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The night before last, there was an eclipse there.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Right, right. That's right. So like in a Catholic school,
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: you can't see the moons.
• 49:08
  Speaker 7: There you go.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: So what's on your mind? Well, okay.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Not to contradict Joel, but maybe put a finer point.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Ayanna Pressley.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: When you listen to what she.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: Says, AOC, when we listen to what she says, Elhan Omar,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: all the way back to Sheila Jackson Lee, perhaps, or
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: even further. Because we have common sense, we listen to
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: what they say and we think, well, that's just stupid.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: But it's not stupid, Joe. It ruins.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: Their base, and it keeps getting them elected.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, sure. Because they're talking to people who they've gaslit
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: into believing that Ayanna Pressley or AOC or these folks
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: are the only way out of whatever issues they have.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: They've created this. That's why when this— and I started this all,
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: if you're joining us in progress— A guy who represents
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: one of our affiliate areas, Colorado Springs, has introduced a
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: bill to denigrate or disavow socialism and all its manifestations.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: And I said, great, let's start with the Great Society
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: movement and all the legislation and all the government programs
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: that were started under the Great Society, which really was
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: the beginning of America's socialist government. And this started to
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: snowball off of that. But they created the problem. The
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: Great Society created four times as many poor people as
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: there were before the Great Society was started. So they
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: go back to this multitudes that they've created of people
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: who can't pay their bills and say, I'll go get
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: the money from so-and-so. It's not you. It's not me.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: It's the guy behind the tree.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: So solving problems does not keep you in power, Joe.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: Creating problems keeps you in power. Now, here's the thing.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: What Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, AOC, the Great Society, they're
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: selling the lie.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: Now, you made the statement.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: I think it was on Socialism. But maybe it was
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Marxism in general, the only form of government that comes
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: with a.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: Supply of body bags.
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: That is by necessity, Joe. They wouldn't kill so many
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: people if they didn't have to.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: It says so in the opening paragraphs of his manifesto.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: Some people won't go along with this, and they'll have
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: to be removed from the society.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Okay. Look, you have to send a certain number of
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: people to gulags on a regular basis. You have to break.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: a certain number of people at the Ministry of Love
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: and return them to society. You have to have a
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: certain number of beheadings. You have to have a certain
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: number of people.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Beaten in the street, et cetera, et cetera.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: Or people may begin to openly question the lie. And
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: if people question the lie, the lie cannot survive. So
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: the violence is necessary for the.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: Lie to exist. Yeah, why would they issue all those
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: truncheons to, you know, government officials if they weren't there
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: to use them, Dr. Clark? But that's the thing, is
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: why would anyone support a government that requires violence to
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: keep its power? You know, I know, I understand, you know,
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: we used to support mobsters and the Cosa Nostra because
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: we were afraid of getting beaten up.
• 52:51
  Speaker 7: My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my
• 52:54
  Speaker 7: leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:55
  Speaker 9: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
• 52:58
  Speaker 9: weightlifting champion.
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: I'm Sam. I'm a veteran.
• 53:02
  Speaker 12: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
• 53:04
  Speaker 12: of and supporting my family.
• 53:06
  Speaker 10: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
• 53:09

  Speaker 7: I'm a veteran.
• 53:11
  Speaker 11: My victory was going from homeless to home.
• 53:14
  Speaker 10: At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get
• 53:17
  Speaker 10: the benefits they've earned.
• 53:19

• 53:23
  Speaker 10: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support
• 53:27
  Speaker 10: for victories great and small.
• 53:29
  Speaker 7: My victory was proving that disability is not a limitation.
• 53:33
  Speaker 22: My victory was getting my service dog a new best friend.
• 53:36
  Speaker 10: We help more than a million veterans every year as
• 53:38
  Speaker 10: they face and conquer their challenges.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: My victory is being able to be there for my family.
