  Speaker 3: Welcome to another Ted's Day, where we celebrate the gifts
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: God has given to you, and especially celebrate the volatile
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: performance of those gifts for a grateful constituency.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Whatever they may be.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Butcher, baker, candlestick maker, regardless guitar player, it doesn't make
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: a difference.

  Speaker 3: Charles sent us a graphic of Greta Thunberg insisting that

• 1:12
  Speaker 3: So sometimes there's coalition to be built. This tedsdy, though.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: We celebrate those gifts because understanding them and that God
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: has given you the right to perform those gifts freely
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: is the most important part of quote Americanism, if you will. Hey, uh,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: not that this has ever happened before. I know that
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: this kind of stuff is a rarity. But Donald Trump
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: may have been right. I know, you know, as everyone
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: else is losing their bowel control over his social media
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: posts regarding the death the murder of Rob and Michelle
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Reiner in their beds, as they slept. The story starts
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: to take strange turns. We'll get into it if we
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: need to. I mean, it's not heartbreaking news, but it's illuminative.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: If for nothing else, then this is what the media does.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Why do they do it? Because it works?
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Because you will, over Christmas be confronted by somebody's.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: You stand for that guy you know with your red
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: ball caps and your your you know, and he's kretting
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: and he said horrible things.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: So, as the story starts to unfold, apparently the winers,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: including Nick were as he is now officially been charged
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: with murder. We're at a party held by Conan O'Brien.

  Speaker 3: O'Brien wanted to get a horrible.

  Speaker 4: Year past him.

  Speaker 3: This was a year where he won the Mark Twain Award,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: the greatest honor that can be bestowed on a comedian,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: and he called it a horrible year.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: So you go figure out what kind of party it was.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Meanwhile, back at the ranch are first things for this
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Tedsday morning. President Donald Trump Tuesday ordered a total blockade
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: of oil tankers entering or leaving Venezuela, declaring the Maduro

  Speaker 3: to death in his Brookline, Massachusetts home. President Trump will
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: address the nation today touting his administration's achievements. Some polls
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: suggest voters are not happy with his handling of the economy,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: or at least the pace in which economic recovery is
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: starting to be felt on Main Street. Federal judge in
• 4:39

  Speaker 3: limits announced earlier in the year on who can travel
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: and emigrate to the United States. This is on top

  Speaker 3: of an expansion of fifteen countries from just last week.

  Speaker 9: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

  Speaker 11: Hi, everybody, I'm Jackhannah. It's always a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 11: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 11: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,

• 10:25
  Speaker 11: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 11: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 11: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 11: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 11: from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's

  Speaker 4: First thing today, TEDSDA morning.
• 13:20

• 13:23
  Speaker 3: you at four three four eight eight two four to
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: two one seven. It's multitasking. You can text message to it,
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: you can call into it, whatever you feel like, whatever
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: is easiest for you. This is plug and play. Really,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: we work off of a simplicity model. The harder it
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: is for you to do it doesn't help us. This
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: is the whole point of radio. We do everything and
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: let you just enjoy the product. And we have a
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: podcast channel, which, yes, we are aware. We are aware
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: that yesterday's program has not gone live to the podcas
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: cast channel yet.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: For those who subscribe.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: And Spotify and iHeart podcasts and Apple podcasts and all
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: of those, you have not received your little notification saying
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: new episodes are arriving there there, they haven't gone live.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: We got called away. We had agreed to go to a.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Function yesterday with doctor Robert Malone, mRNA, Doctor Robert Malone
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: but it was about homesteading. And I want to spend
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: just thirty seconds on this because people are like, well,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: that's the one I want to go see Robert Malone
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: for I wanted to hear him talk about you know,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: cy War's new book or you know the mRNA and COVID,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: and I want to hear about Tony Fauci. And but
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: you see, you see he was talking a lot about
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: another friend of mine from here in central Virginia and
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: a great farmer, Joel Salatin, who every year hosts the
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Rogue Farming Conference and it is an amazing sherpa in
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: the world. Use that native guide if you will in
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: the world of circumventing onerous, ridiculous government regulations regarding farming.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: As we approach one hundred years since the Farm Bill
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: was enacted, and fewer and fewer people farm. Just like
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: the War on poverty, government starts doing something and you know,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: we get more people who don't do it. You know,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: we're going to eradicate poverty with this government program, and
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: now we have four times as many poor people. We're
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: going to help those small family farmers with the Farm Bill,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: and now we have fewer and fewer small family farms.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: So, but they.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Were talking about homesteading, which the government is freaking out about.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Homesteading is second on most local goverman's hit list after Airbnb's.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Because it's the temerity of you or me to think
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: that we can do something ourselves, make food and sell it.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: You know Virginia some years ago, remember the Virginia House
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: of Delegates called me and we were doing a legislative update.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: It's like January, February. They were in the middle of
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: the legislative session. He says, Joe, it looks like my
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: bill to allow farmers to sell the products from their
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: farm on their farms is going to pass. And I
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: sat there for a moment, and I didn't mean for
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: the pause to be as pregnant as it was.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Of course, you never do, surprise. Remember we met three
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: or six weeks ago.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: That's what the thought said to me the pause, And
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: I said, Rob, why do we need a law that
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: says a farmer can sell the fruits of his own
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: farm on his own.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Far He goes, oh, no, you can't. You know you
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: have to.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: So even in states that gave us things like the
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: US Constitution and the Middle of Rights, a farmer would
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: have to find a middleman of pharmacy benefits manager, if
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: you will, and then go through them in order to
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: sell you something.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Because government says.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: So that's the kind of thing that doctor Malone is
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: really working on right now, along with Joel Salatin and
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: the MAHA movement, make America healthy again, getting us back
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: and away from things. And I had a wonderful conversation
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: a young lady was talking about statin drugs, and I said, yeah,
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: you have to understand how the statin drug mania got started.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: So you know, in the seventies, we were discovering people
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: with clots in their blood vessels, which is bad, and
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: those clots were made of clusters all build up, which
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: is bad. So the doctors of the time said, hey, leeches, No, No,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: that was much older. Leeches were much longer, longer ago,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: and far be it from me to compare statin drugs
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: to leeches or blood letting. But what they did is
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: they said, well, we need to get rid of that cholesterol,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: so we need a drug that will break up that
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: cholesterol so it doesn't build up. What they didn't realize
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: is the cholesterol build ups were on scar tissue inside
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: of your blood vessel that had been caused by inflammatory
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: toxins that had caused your blood vessels to swell up.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: And then when they the swelling went down, which hopefully
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: it does, it.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Left scar tissue.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: And that scar tissue, much like scale inside of a pipe,
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: was catching even low levels of cholesterol, even in people
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: with normal, healthy amounts of cholesterol. And you need cholesterol.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: It keeps your brain function. That's the go in between
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: your ears is mostly cholesterol. And this is the stuff
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Malone was talking about yesterday. So long story made longer.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: That's why there's no podcasts live yet, because we were
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: up there with doctor Robert Malone, the founder of the mRNA,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: the whole you know, and certainly center square in the
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: fight against the clock shot and again government medicine in
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: the way of regular medicine. But even in the case
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: of regular medicine, I wasn't assailing the doctors that said, hey,
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: we need statin drugs. I wasn't even inferring that they were,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: you know, there from the pharmaceutical industry. I think it's
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: a correlation, not a causation. I think the pharmaceutical industry said, oh,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: howay this is you have to take these forever. Ah,
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: we have guaranteed bottom line support here, and that's their business,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: their businesses to make the money to pay the doctors
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: who figured out the drugs. But at some point you
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: have to say, well, hold on a second, here, we're
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: actually causing six or seven other problems because of the
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: fix of the first problem, which we've now discovered isn't
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: even the same problem we thought it was. And the
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: sciences settled stuff did not first appear on the scene
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: with sars Cove two. Ask you know, as as the
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: heretics that were killed because they thought the world was round,
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: asked Galileo about the sciences settled. But even here in America,
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: you know, well, the science said, and this addiction to precedent,
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Well we've done this before, so we must do this again.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: And this inability and I really feel that I don't
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: know if tort reform fixes this or not, but I
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: have a few thoughts on why people can never admit
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: they might have been wrong or not even wrong in error.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: In years gone by.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, you know what, in the seventies, we thought it
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: was the cholesterol's fault that the cholesterol built up in
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: the blood vessels. Now we know it isn't so, and
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: somebody will sue someone else saying, but you would put
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: my dad on statin drugs or whatever. And we need
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: to wrangle in that because until we can wrangle in that,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: and I think breaking up big companies and allowing them
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: to be small companies again might be a good start
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: in that direction, along with some tort reform. But until
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: we can get past that fear of some civil action
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: that's going to come from something that we discovered we
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: were in error about, we're never going to fix our errors.

  Speaker 9: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.

  Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,

  Speaker 9: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation. Our

  Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any

• 24:31
  Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

  Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and

  Speaker 2: know the first thing today.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: All right, you know, if you want to see a
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: conflagration and kill it and grill it. Cookbook is actually
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: a really good cookbook, says the vegetarian.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: In this conversation. Conversation, but it is. It's a good cookbook. Uh,
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: but I think is it still whack Master?
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: It's it's it was at one time sold through the
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: whack Master catalog, which is Ted's own bow hunting website.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: It used to be anyway, But that's Conan and O'Brien
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: and our.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Our oracle for this, tedsdy at a rare conflagration between
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: the two and proof though you know, you can find
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: a way to not have to discuss politics in it
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: and cold and O'Brien and I bring this up because
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: I think it's important to this and again you're going
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: to be confronted with all of this. So this is
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: in a lot of ways a vaccine clinic. See what
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: I did there, a vaccine clinic designed to inoculate you
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: as the Christmas party season begins. And in the light
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: of Donald Trump's social media post that was you know,
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: filled with Trump derangement, derangement syndrome we get it. Trump
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: derangement exists, and you know, seeing it in every corner might.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Put people off. I get that.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Is that your reason to derail an entire agenda of
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: trying to get our economy back in the value of
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: our dollars back?
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: No, absolutely not.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: But there is a greater percentage chance this morning than
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: there was yesterday morning that maybe, maybe, just maybe Donald
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Trump knew something when he posted that social media report
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: on the death of Rob Reiner and his wife, who
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump knew. Donald Trump paid her to do the
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: photo work on the cover art for Art of the Deal.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: You talk about a probably sold more copies than the
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Kill It and Grille a cookbook. So people that don
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: knew individually had been murdered in their beds, and he
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: said that it was over Trump derangement syndrome. Now the
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: backstory is now starting to come out that the Reiners
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: were at Conan O'Brien's house for a party to put
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: behind them a very difficult year. Now understand, Conan O'Brien
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: just won this year the highest award that could be
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: given to a comedian, the Mark Twain Award. I watched
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: the special It's Funny and by the end, you're like, Okay,
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: I get it. You know you don't want me watching
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: because you don't think I deserve to.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: Have your kind of humor.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Him and Adam Sandler are taking shots at Trump musically.
• 31:44
  Speaker 13: And.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: All well and good. I mean up to that point.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, there were some very funny bits on it.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: The Mark Twain Award is the highest honor a comedian
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: can receive, and yet Conan O'Brien wanted to have a
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: party to put this difficult year behind him, and that
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: speaks volumes to an attitude and one that we try
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: to analyze here. I mean, in our radio checkup from
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: the neck up, I mean the idea that somebody's office
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: is going.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: To ruin your life.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Now, there are existentially true things that can happen if
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: authoritarian government comes in and closes your business down per
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: se because of a virus that we paid for to
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: be developed. Is all of a sudden running rampant killing
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: elderly people too early, sparing the insurance industry a lot
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: of coverage from COVID nineteen, but still insisting that they
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: get subsidy from COVID nineteen. So I'm just saying that
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: as you gather with me on this teds D morning,
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: there is a greater chance percentage wise Bally's and MGM
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: grand and your draft Kings app will take a slightly
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: smaller number on whether or not Donald Trump may have
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: actually been right when he said that the fight between
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: Nick and Rob Reiner was over Trump. Now, that's not
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: discounting Nick's drug abuse and what I understand and the
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: investigators are saying, the reason he wasn't charged right away
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: was having a severe DT incident in the hospital. Open
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: that happens as well. It's not discounting any of the
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: other parts. But just so you know, before the holiday
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: parties and the Christmas parties begin and he start seeing
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: be like, yeah, you guy, come here, where about what
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: do you say about this Trump guy? And we we
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: got text messages about it yesterday, And I'll still say
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: that I don't If I had the control of President
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Trump's social media posts before they went out, I'd say,
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: do you really want to go there? And if he did,
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: he did, that's okay. Now, speaking of the Affordable Care
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: Act under real news, way, Joe, don't segue away from
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: esoterica and start talking about real news. Mike Johnson using
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: the power that the Speaker of the House Gets has
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: said there is no vote coming up on any of
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: the compromise plans. You know where two hundred Democrats and
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: three Republicans call it bipartisan to bring a vote to
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: the House floor this week and the next week is Christmas,
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: then the expiration of the Affordable Care Act premium subsidies,
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: can we can we make sure that we put premium
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: subsidies because it's this isn't a this is the money
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: that you've paid in taxes, or more appropriately, your grandkids
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: are going to pay in taxes being given to people
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: so they can give it to an insurance company who
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: has increased your premiums because a virus that we paid
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: to have created in China was what let loose amongst
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: our population, and they started going to the hospital, and
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, the insurance companies started saying, well,
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: by the rules of our medical insurance, you know, every
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: time you use our medical insurance, your rates are going
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: to go up. People's rates. We're giving them nose bleeds.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: And believe me, during COVID liquid coming out of your nose,
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: whether it be blood or lets, as Virginia's governor called them,
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: not a good thing. So we started giving you money
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: from the government to give to the insurance companies, who
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: then said, well, hell, if you're just going to subsidize it,
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: let's raise the premiums even more so. Mike Johnson said
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: that they will vote next Wednesday on what he called
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: a consensus healthcare package without an Affordable Care Act subsidy included.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: It's still ridiculous because it follows the premise that the
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: government can get involved in your healthcare and.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: Somehow it's going to be better.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: And of course, if you troll the marketplaces enough, you'll
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: find some family that was able to get Grandma the
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: double bypass she needed because they had the insurance that
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: they wouldn't have had other wise if they didn't have
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. But the lion's
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: share of Americans are not benefiting from this Affordable Care Act.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Here fifteen years later. You'd think, after fifteen years, what
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: did Ronald Reagan say back? You'd think, after all these years,
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: they'd read the score to us. But with a political
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: party that declared war on poverty sixty years ago, and
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: we have four times as many poor people, thus the
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: need for the Affordable Care Act? What do you think
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: is going to happen? I mean, really, don't hold your
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: breath because that's bad for you too, unless you have COVID.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: And then hold your breath because we don't want you
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: just running through your neighborhood killing people like your character
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: in that Queen song. Another one bites the dust.
• 38:01
  Speaker 14: At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
• 38:04
  Speaker 14: problems in their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 14: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  Speaker 14: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
• 38:14
  Speaker 14: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
• 38:17
  Speaker 14: Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
• 38:20
  Speaker 14: seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.
• 38:24
  Speaker 14: Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in
• 38:27
  Speaker 14: particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of
• 38:30
  Speaker 14: your diesel particulate filter. Using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three
• 38:34
  Speaker 14: percent less DPF regenerations. The six and one Diesel Extreme
• 38:38
  Speaker 14: formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on the market,
• 38:43
  Speaker 14: lubricity enhancer, water demulsifier, rust and corrosion inhibitors, and a
• 38:47
  Speaker 14: fuel stabilizer. Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme is available in

  Speaker 20: mid century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them

  Speaker 22: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two 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.
• 41:21
  Speaker 22: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
• 41:24
  Speaker 22: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 22: changes or medication. Listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 22: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop

  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: This email comes in from Terry, says Joe, what if
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: it wasn't Nick?
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: That is the MAGA supporter.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: What if it was Rob or his wife? See, now
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: there you go again. There you go thinking, you know
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: what kind of trouble that gets you in at the
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: Christmas party? Doesn't it right? There's no there's no inference,
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: certainly by the body of work.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: You would just.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: Gas that Rob Reiner isn't going to go out there
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: and say nice things about Donald Trump and his wife Michelle.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: Though she had worked.
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: For him, doesn't necessarily mean she liked him. She took
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: the job doing the cover work for Art of the Deal.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: But what if in the midst of this conan O'Brien,
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: let's get this terrible year in which I won the
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: Mark Twain Award as the Greatest Comic of the Year.
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: You know, it's a horrible year for me. Let's get
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: it behind us. What if Rob Reiner or Michelle Reiner said, hey,
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: you know, this thing that Donald Trump did actually isn't
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: all that bad, huh, And it inflamed some argument with
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: a young fellow who had been raised around Conservatives are
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: cloven hooved devils. It's an interesting point, Terry, thank you
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: for sharing it with us. My buddy Jason is on
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: the phone with us at four three, four eight eight,
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: two four seven. Good morning, Jason, How are you doing
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: this morning.
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: I'm doing just great, Joe, Greetings from the socialist enclave
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: of Charlisville, attempting to save our democracy.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, Jason holds the official title of, I believe,
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: the last Republican holding office in the Charlottesville area. He
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: was on the school board for some time trying to
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: fail against it.
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, technically conservative.
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: That's right, the school board, right exactly as you were sharing.
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: As you were sharing the nonsense about the Affordable Care Act,
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: it reminded me very much of the scheme of the
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: pelgrants the college education, where the money was ripe for
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: the taking and the colleges just went rampant and they raised,
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: you know, tuition rates every year upon every year by
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: an astronomical amount. And now college education is practically unaffordable
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: because the government got involved. I think that was the
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: Affordable Education.
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: Act might as well have been.
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you know, ls are strikingly awful.
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: What was it?
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: Reagan said, if you if you want, if you want
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: to get more of something subsidized it there's.
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: A whole list.
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: It's it's if if you want, if something. Oh, it's
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: if something moves, tax it, if it stops moving, subsidize it.
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: And then went into the closest thing to immortality as
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: a government program. And that's what this has become is.
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: You know, And and I'll.
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: Give the benefit of the doubt it's a Christmas season
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: to the fact that the intention may have been good.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: But at some point this goes back to what I
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: was saying about stat drugs. If in the light of
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: new information, we can't as a society say, you know what,
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: twenty years ago, we were wrong about something and we
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: need to change course because we were wrong. We saw things,
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: we didn't have all the information sun guide in our eyes.
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: Whatever the reason, but we are so colossally uncapable of
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: revisiting things. You know, Conservatives like you and me, Jason,
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: we talk about laws having expiration dates. Can you imagine
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: any manner of Virginia or US Code expiring and having
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: to have a new batch of elected officials debated.
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: Oh, they would.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: Hate such a thing. They just want Oh, yeah, that's fine.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: It's always been a crime, is always going to be
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: a crime.
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: Whatever. We're never going to look at new evidence for
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: it now.
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: Oh absolutely, if we had that. Imagine, imagine how liberty
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: could grow in this nation. Oh my gosh, you know
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: we could we could look at the wisdom of the
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: past and say, oh, that was a good idea. No,
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: these were other terrible ideas.
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: Let's not bring that right, you know.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: And if the science was settled, Remember there was actually
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: science not all that long ago, maybe one hundred years ago,
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: that said black people and white people were intellectually different,
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: and that the black people were intellectually incapable of the
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: same kind of pursuits. I mean, the science was settled.
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: This is what these people run on is the whole
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: science is settled things. So you wanted to change that.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: What's changed in your viewpoint, But that's the subsidy thing
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: is insane. And I'm no economist. But if you detach,
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: I know, you make figures and metal work and things
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: like that as your job, Jason, if the government all
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden said to you, the figures that
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: you cast are no longer going to you know, have
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: to worry about whether or not consumers can pay for them.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: We're going to send every American five hundred dollars to
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: buy you know, statues and things like that from you. Well,
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: now you know you don't need to worry about what
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: it costs you. You can mark them up like crazy exactly.
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: And what I see happening with that is then I
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: would lose the drive, the initiative, the exceptionalism to create
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: awesome things because I can just sit back and collect
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: the paycheck. Why be innovative?
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: Right, you don't even need to get new customers because
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: the old ones are just going to keep using their
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: government grant to give you the money that you need
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: to keep the lights on and pad your expense account
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: a little bit. You're right, that's a whole other side
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: of the subsidy thing. That is the d incentivization of
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: all these various things. Indeed, indeed, well you have a
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: great Christmas, Jason. It's good to catch up with you,
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: my friend. I'm glad you're still out there and you
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: keep listening and we'll keep talking.
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: Uh, what's what's the comedian?
• 51:13
  Speaker 21: Oh?
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: Ron White? You watched the comedian Ron White. He's very funny,
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: very well. He's a little rude and a lot of
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: jokes about alcohol and drugs, which is interesting because now
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: he is I'm curious to see what his new routine
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: is going to be because he's gone through I guess
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: he had a horrific medical incident. Now he's dry, he's
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: dried out, he's gone through rehab and he's recovering himself
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: to that. But one of his comedy specials was if
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: you stop listening, I'll stop talking, and that was It
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: always reminded me of my business model. If you all
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: stop listening, I don't know what's going to happen to me.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: So you have a great morning, in a great Christmas
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: and we'll talk to you again very soon.
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: Thank you you saying true story.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, one of the very last conservatives to hold
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: an elected office in the Charlottesville area. Now, I mean,
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: I don't even know what considered conservative anymore, but they're
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: there even before the all the nuttiness started with the
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: school boards. Four three four eight eight two four two
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: one seven. That's the phone number. Oh, I'm getting a
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: text message. We did have a Commonwealth's attorney there for
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: a while as well. I'm Tim good good point. I'm
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: not sure how the timelines overlap, but they're pretty consistently close,
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: uh there, So yeah, it happens. You know, people look
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: the other way, and the conservative message as I've said,
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: resonates with seventy percent of the population if you let it.
• 52:51
  Speaker 18: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
• 52:54
  Speaker 18: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
• 52:56
  Speaker 18: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
• 52:59
  Speaker 18: and ululnerable. We found get CCL dot com. Get CCL
