"Hug and Release Justice System" (Monday September 8, 2025, Hour 2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:03
Speaker 1: People on both sides.
0:04
Speaker 2: Amaze your friends here in First Thing Today by Joe Thomas,
0:08
I like this guy jew.
0:10
Speaker 1: Words at steal me stem. You have a day least
0:15
for work. When the sun comes up, drops a pet
0:17
to scoop on the way. Joe is eying adder all
0:22
the treasure. Seven needs no one that Joe's smile. He
0:28
only as.
0:32
Speaker 3: Joe here hold these truths. I want to thank you
0:38
for letting us be of service to you along the
0:40
talk media network. I will tell you the news, will
0:44
chop up the news into easily digestible gummies, and then
0:48
most importantly, try to find out how it is impacting
0:51
you where you are at four three four eight eight
0:54
two four to two one seven. That's the phone number
0:58
or text message hotline. You can use it for text messaging,
1:03
because that's become a very very popular way of getting
1:07
in touch with the program, especially given the fact that morning,
1:11
I have discovered in my travels, morning is an ancient
1:14
Greek word for last minute. That's what we seem to do.
1:19
We deposit all of our last minute stuff into mourning,
1:24
and then we've got to do a way. Regardless of
1:26
which end of your day you're meeting me, in wherever
1:30
you may be. It is last minute and you're scrambling
1:33
to try to get everything done either before you head
1:36
home or you head out this morning. And we'll get
1:41
back into this story out of Charlotte, out of Chicago.
1:48
Also kind of love the You know, you guys have
1:52
no sympathy, none, whatsoever, Dear Joe. If the security and
1:59
daily plaza had been nearly as tight as it was
2:03
at the US Opened yesterday, Lyndon Johnson never would have
2:07
gotten a sniff of the presidency. I mean, I my
2:15
head spins at the thought process that that's required to
2:19
write such a text. But then again, I did read
2:23
it live on the air. But Mike, whoo, oh tough crowd.
2:27
I'm telling you, tough crowd, Oh, jef ladies. A lot
2:34
of people at the US Open not happy with President Trump.
2:38
But I've been through this. We broadcast live from Seapack,
2:42
and ever since twenty fifteen, there's been secret Service at
2:47
these Seapack events that the media has to get through.
2:51
And I've talked to the attendees who stand on the
2:54
extra long lines to get through the Secret Service checkpoints
2:59
to make sure that nobody in the room has anything
3:02
they're not supposed to have. They've become a little bit
3:05
better with the media, although I'm sure President and Trump
3:08
would like to vet the media for more than just weapons.
3:13
What are they going to say when they're there? And
3:17
I think we're going back in March of twenty six,
3:20
they're going to be in Dallas working on those arrangements.
3:23
Consumer Electronics show coming up much sooner than that. And
3:26
there's this Christmas thing in betwixt now and then and
3:29
Thanksgiving and stuff like that. We begin with our first things.
3:34
How can you talk about it until the guy inside
3:36
the radio tells you what happened. A woman is facing
3:39
felony charges after she repeatedly registered her dog to vote
3:44
in California elections actually cast a vote in the recall
3:48
election against Kevin Newsom, like that dog. Responding to criticism
3:54
that he's going to war with Chicago, President Trump told reporters,
3:59
We're not going to war. We're going to clean up
4:01
our cities. We're going to clean them up so they
4:03
don't kill five people every weekend. That's not war, that's
4:07
common sense. He also said Sunday he's ready to move
4:10
to the second stage of sanctions against Russia, remarking that
4:14
he is closer to ramping up sanctions for not just Russia,
4:19
but those who buy oil from it, as the war
4:22
in Ukraine continues to ramp up more Russian strikes. Yesterday,
4:27
President Trump's administration plans to target more businesses for immigration
4:32
enforcement after the Hyundai and LG battery facility in Georgia
4:36
was raided with hundreds of arrests. By the way, more
4:40
than three hundred of those arrested or South Korean nationals,
4:43
and the foreign minister of that allied country will come
4:47
to the United States to help secure their release. Individual
4:52
European leaders will be visiting the United States today and
4:55
tomorrow to discuss how to end the Russia Ukraine War.
4:59
Speaking reporters after returning from the US open, President Trump
5:03
said he would also speak with President Vladimir Putin soon.
5:07
Certain European leaders, Trump said, are coming over to our
5:11
country individually. After weeks of mostly negative news and commentary
5:18
regarding the National Guard deployment in Washington, it should shock
5:22
no one that fifty seven percent of Americans polled oppose
5:28
President Trump deploying the National Guard to the nation's capital.
5:31
According to CBS News and Yugo, of only forty three
5:35
percent support the decision, although some could say wow that
5:39
many still support the decision. President Trump attended the US
5:44
Open and watched Carlos Alcarez whin the title for the
5:48
second time. He was greeted by a mixture of cheers
5:51
and booze of the few people that had made it
5:53
through security into the Arthur Ashe Stadium grandstand. Maryland Governor
5:59
Wes Moore was pressed on Sunday if he's going to
6:01
run for president. He said, no, He's going to run
6:04
for reelection and serve a full term as governor. I'm
6:09
excited about what I'm going to be able to do
6:11
to the people. I mean for the people of Maryland,
6:14

Speaker 7: Every year more American adults die from vaccine preventable diseases
9:37
and from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
9:41
the one for new macccle disease can protect adults from
9:44
illnesses that can cause misdays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
9:49
New macaccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
9:53
or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
9:56
of an infection that can spread from person to person.
10:00
Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
10:04
I'm doctor Susan Reem of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
10:08
When I speak with my patients, I urge them to
10:10
get all their recommended vaccines. Now, I'm urging you to
10:13
speak with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
10:17

10:20
adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough,

11:05
you recognize them? By their clothes, their age, the way
11:10
they speak. Would you notice a sixteen year old boy
11:13
who got his first.
11:14
Speaker 1: Job Franks for spending money, but to help feed his
11:17
little sisters.
11:19
Speaker 9: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes
11:22
to bed hungry so her kids can have dinner. Or
11:25
a fourteen year old girl who signs up to every
11:27
after school.
11:28
Speaker 10: Activity not to make friends, but just to get something
11:31
to eat.
11:33
Speaker 11: Or a retiree who fell ill and.
11:35
Speaker 2: Had to choose between getting medicine or groceries.

12:05
First Amendment. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of
12:09
the press, freedom to peaceably assemble, freedom to petition the government.
12:14
Which freedom can you live without? Fortunately, the First Amendment
12:18
doesn't make you choose. It protects all five freedoms equally.

12:51
drunk driving.

13:08
Speaker 2: Established Making Mornings great again First Thing Today on the
13:15
Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
13:22
Speaker 3: Stick around for a second. I've got details as they
13:26
established themselves and put down roots, and how you could
13:31
win tickets from me to see Trans Siberian Orchestra in
13:36
your town. About fifteen cities that are served by First
13:42
Thing today by Joe Thomas. Are also going to be
13:45
served by the Trans Siberian Orchestra with their Christmas I
13:49
think it's Ghosts of Christmas Eve and other stories coming
13:54
up starting middle of November, including Youngstown and Salt Lake
13:58
City and all over the play. So stick around we'll
14:01
have details on that. But for heirst, we're gonna check
14:05
in with our friend James Luck at the jcsgold dot
14:09
com where he is the fourth generation proprietor gold and
14:13
Silver and all that. Boy, we left off in some
14:16
rarefied air on Friday. James, first and foremost, how was
14:18
your weekend?
14:21
Speaker 15: Weekend was great, Joe. It was nice and relaxing, spent
14:23
a lot of great time with family and preparing to
14:26
ship out a lot of silver shipments. This morning, it
14:30
looks like it's going to be another busy one.
14:32
Speaker 3: Oh well, that's good way. We like it when our
14:34
sponsors are busy. And so, you know, how are gold
14:38
and silver trading this morning? I know they were, you know,
14:42
eye popping lands on Friday.
14:47
Speaker 15: It continues and I don't see and it's slowing down,
14:50
you know, And I feel like it's a little unfair
14:52
being the fourth generation, and I get to see gold
14:56
sitting so many all time highs, I do you feel
14:59
like it's it's a crazy time to be alive.
15:01
Speaker 16: The gold is over six thirty six hundred dollars seventeen
15:07
dollars up thirty dollars overnight, almost one percent in the
15:11
green silver is up to three quarters of a percent
15:16
to forty two dollars and.
15:19
Speaker 3: Thirty two cents.
15:20
Speaker 15: So we will see here silver continues. But you know
15:23
the point is that we always tell our clients is
15:27
just always always buy, always stacked. Sometimes you buy when
15:31
it's cheap, sometimes when you buy when it's up. But
15:33
the point is that always building your gold and silver
15:37
position so then you are ready for when it climbs
15:41
over time. And you can see that at jcscold dot
15:43
com at our charts page, you can see how gold
15:46
and silver climb over time. And just always purchase, you know,
15:51
once every two weeks, once a month, you get your
15:53
allotment of gold and silver, so you can be prepared well.
15:56
Speaker 3: And this is why it's important to talk to a
15:58
family that's doing this, so that you know it's not
16:01
like somebody's got a quota on their clipboard and they're
16:04
working for some big las Vegas, Big Base Bank just
16:07
saying no, I'm this is a family who wants to
16:10
help you navigate from where you are. So you get
16:13
with these folks and you say, hey, listen, this is
16:15
what I make a week. How much gold do you
16:18
think I can get? Or silver? And James and his
16:21
family and their staff at jcsgold dot com are there
16:25
to help you. Call them ten am Eastern daylight time
16:29
at four three four nine seven nine coin. It's the
16:33
phone number. You can go check them out right now
16:35
at jcsgold dot com. James, you have an awesome morning, man.
16:39
This is like, this is like calling and asking about bitcoin.
16:43
I think bitcoins struggling compared to gold and silver these days.
16:46
This is awesome, absolutely, Joe, thanks all right. Four three
16:51
four eight eight two four two one seven. That's how
16:54
you get to us. So I mentioned Trans Siberian Orchestra,
16:57
So what's we have a pair of tickets thanks to
16:59
the band for all those cities that they're going to
17:04
be appearing in that I also appear in, Like I said,
17:07
Youngstown and Belmont, New York and those kind of places
17:12
where we will you don't have to, I mean, if
17:16
you're listening to us in Elmira, New York, and you
17:18
want to drive down to Newark to see him. Enter
17:21
to win for those tickets. So we're going to set
17:22
it up at our website, Joe Thomas in the Morning
17:26
dot Com a special link for you to enter to win.
17:29
Just tell us where you're listening. You know, say hi, whatever,
17:32
you know, be nice, you know, name, rank, serial number.
17:36
That's about all I need. But if you want to
17:38
say hey, and you know, we appreciate that because basically
17:41
I'm shallow and desperate, so I want to hear from you,
17:45
and we'll do drawings as they get closer. Like before,
17:49
I mentioned our friends in Colorado Springs on KPPF that
17:53
show is. The show is November sixteenth, so with enough
17:58
time for you to make the arrangements necessary, probably by
18:02
the end of October, we'll be doing the drawings on
18:05
this which should make you absolutely sick of hearing me
18:09
promote the contest. But I don't want anyone to say, hey,
18:12
I didn't here, Oh I'm sorry, I was away, I
18:14
was deployed, or whatever I didn't hear. So that's how
18:17
we'll do it there. But certainly by the middle or
18:21
end of October will have begun doing all the giveaways
18:25
for this little by little. Like I said, Youngstown, Ohio
18:28
one of the first shows on the tour Colorado Spring,
18:31
so we'll do those earlier. Then we will say Minneapolis, Minnesota,
18:36
which is I think December twenty eighth, I'm tempted to say,
18:43
And there's a town that could use itself, and you
18:45
trans Siberian dot Org is where you go and see
18:49
the whole tour schedule there for yourself. And I will
18:52
promise that at some point in the next few weeks
18:55
or so, tickets I believe go on sale at the
18:58
end of this week for fan club members and then
19:01
after that to the general public through Live Nation, and
19:05
we'll have some of the folks from the band on
19:07
the program to chat about Trans Siberian Orchestra. And if
19:11
you have never been, may I endorse? May I endorse
19:15
a show that is, without question the kickoff of the
19:19
Christmas season for me and my family. My wife calls
19:23
it quasi religious. You feel like you've been to just
19:28
this house. There are some churches that are more singing
19:31
oriented than others. Is this is like, you know, singing
19:36
and some pyrotechnics and some fireworks and stuff. Like that,
19:40
but it's still it feels like you've just gone to
19:44
a great revival meeting there to get plugged into the
19:50
spirit there at trans Siberian dot org. To the emails
19:56
JT in the Morning radio at gmail dot com, Joe,
20:01
don't victim shame. Jasmine Crockett is a very important person.
20:05
Therefore she needs to have very important things like an
20:08
entire dedicated shoe closet. L Ol, can't believe she's doing
20:14
a poverty riff from her shoe closet. I didn't believe
20:18
it until I went and looked at the screen caps
20:21
of this podcast. Thank you for doing this, because I
20:24
never would have seen the podcast because the last thing
20:26
in the world I would do, aside from perhaps having
20:29
nails stuck into my eyes, is subscribed to Jasmine Crockett's podcasts.
20:35
But you know this is a text message text message.
20:38
Did Jasmine say anything about eating cake during her podcast?
20:42
Referring to Marie Antoinette, who was famously told that the
20:46
French citizens were revolting because they didn't have any bread,
20:51
to which her response apocryphally is well, then let them
20:55
eat cake. Well, actually, I think it's historically it's noted
20:59
as more likely. You know, why don't they eat cake?
21:05
And it's become ostensibly the label you slap on a
21:10
disconnected public leader, if you will. I hate that term.
21:18
Sometimes this applied to these people. They're supposed to be
21:20
our representatives. And I don't have a shoe closet. I'm lucky.
21:24
I have a shoe rack. I have two pairs of shoes,
21:27
a pair of sneakers and a pair of dress shoes.
21:30
And yes, my wife has more shoes than I do,
21:32
but she doesn't have a closet dedicated to it. I mean,
21:37
I had to work a shoehorn deal to get my
21:39
suit jackets in our closet. But that's okay, that's just
21:42
a guy thing. But please, you know, somebody needs to
21:48
have a consultant stop and say doing a screed about
21:52
how poverty and theft because of poverty should be forgiven.
21:56
You shouldn't do it from inside your shoe closet.
22:01
Speaker 17: Hey Brandt, And her name is Shary.
22:03
Speaker 18: I love.
22:04
Speaker 17: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
22:06
for because of a surgery. She just went through.
22:09
Speaker 19: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
22:11
talk about all the time, which.
22:13
Speaker 1: Is meta share that is right.
22:14
Speaker 17: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
22:17
and healthcare ability?
22:18
Speaker 19: Honestly, brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
22:21
you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
22:24
members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
22:27
me tell you, having people pray with you when you
22:30
call in with your need that is just refreshing. Yes,
22:34
that's what it is.
22:35
Speaker 3: What I keep telling people.
22:36
Speaker 17: People love meta share and they love saving money. The
22:39
typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
22:42

Speaker 21: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
23:06
Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
23:11
better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
23:16
up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
23:20
veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
23:25
personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
23:31
and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
23:34
on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
23:40
a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
23:44
AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
23:48
your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
23:53
center of our profession. For more information on AI and
23:57

29:19
McDonald working out a lot after a busy weekend of Sportsmac,
29:23
what are you cooking on for us?
29:24
Speaker 25: Good morning, Joe. Here are the stories we are following
29:27
on this Monday. The Washington Commanders held the Giants to
29:30
three points total in two trips inside the five and
29:33
won the opener twenty one to six, despite being sacked
29:36
three times. QB Jayden Daniels was nineteen of thirty for
29:40
two thirty three in a score and along the way,
29:43
proud of the defense.
29:44
Speaker 1: It's all they gonna get a win. But we played sloppy,
29:47
you know, not a tar standard. But that's Week one
29:49
so we'll continue to learn from this. But it's always
29:51
better to learn from a win.
29:52
Speaker 9: Man.
29:52
Speaker 1: They showed up. They had it down.
29:54
Speaker 9: Like I said, we played sloppy, not a tar standard,
29:56
but we'll learn from that.
29:57
Speaker 1: But I'm glad how to decoon play.
29:59
Speaker 25: Behind Aaron Ryan, the Steelers escaped the Jets, winning thirty
30:02
four to thirty two. The forty one year old through
30:05
four touchdown passes and was twenty two of thirty for
30:07
two forty four. Well, recap.
30:13
Speaker 3: Mac. We lose Mac. Okay, they said, we lost Mac
30:21
somewhere alone, the ethereum there, all right, Well, hope make
30:25
sure we have his studio linked up again when we
30:28
go to him for his notebook in an hour. So
30:33
the hug and release stories, and I wanted to follow up.
30:35
Doctor Clark brought up a story that happened on Saturday.
30:39
We were, you know, and just stunning that August twenty second.
30:45
This horrific stabbing on the light rail line. And don't
30:48
blame light rail and don't blame the screwdriver you know
30:53
or whatever it was. This lunatic used to stab the
30:56
Ukrainian girl refugee working in a pizza park, Ted Wrights
31:06
in do we have common sense screwdriver control on the
31:09
docket in North Carolina? But this is what happens with
31:14
these hug and release programs. The murderer in North Carolina
31:18
had been arrested at least a half a dozen times
31:22
over the last ten years, including felony, larceny, robbery with
31:28
a dangerous weapon, the young lady. And this is the
31:34
amazing thing. So as of right now, there are two
31:39
go fund me accounts. I think it's go fund me.
31:43
One of the fundraisings as one for Carlos Brown's legal
31:50
fees and one for the arrangements to inter and to
31:56
give final resting on to Irena Zarutska, the Ukrainian who
32:08
had fled to this country. And the murderer's got more
32:13
money in his go fund myself account. Go fund yourself.
32:20
That's the world we're in. More people have given money
32:23
to de Carlos Brown to defend himself on the first
32:28
degree murder charge than have given money to help Irena
32:33
Zarutzka get a final resting place. No word on whether
32:41
the Charlotte Hornets have a statement because he has a
32:44
giant Charlotte Hornets logo tattooed on his chest. The video
32:50
is stunning, but doctor Clark brought this story up and
32:52
I wanted to give a follow up. He said veterinarian
32:57
in Auburn had been stabbed to death on Saturday. It's
33:02
a doctor Julie Shunell. I think how it's pronounced, doctor
33:06
Julie Schunell. It's a professor at the University War Eagle.
33:14
They have arrested a twenty eight year old Harold Rashad
33:18
Dabney and police say that it looks like she was
33:23
killed in the midst of a carjacking at the park
33:26
where she had gone to walk her dog. Her body
33:30
was found in the park, stabbed to death, and I
33:35
love police speak, so in the police statement, prosecutors said
33:43
that she was dead due to wounds caused by a
33:47
sharp object, possibly a knife. Wow Keesel Park was where
33:54
she was walking her dog, where apparently she did regularly,
33:59
but no word on Dabney's career in crime. He was
34:08
arrested early Sunday morning. The homicide investigation remains active, but
34:17
the Auburn Police Department is mum about any previous instances
34:21
with this Dabney fella. They are charging him with multiple
34:31
felonies because it appears to have been happening during a
34:36
car jacking. Meanwhile, people are out there. I love this
34:44
interaction with President Trump on his way to the US
34:46
Open is confronted by some ABC News, CBS, CBN News
34:57
has the gaggle of press people waiting on the sidewalk
35:02
to harangue President Trump. And you can't necessarily hear all
35:05
of the reporter, but President Trump is priceless six inches
35:09
from the reporter's face, staring her right in the eyes when.
35:12
Speaker 1: He says, you.
35:18
Speaker 25: Say that, that's take news.
35:21
Speaker 20: Listen, be quiet, listen.
35:23
Speaker 25: You don't listen.
35:24
Speaker 3: You never listen.
35:25
Speaker 1: That's why you're second gray.
35:27
Speaker 3: My gosh, you know. And everyone said, oh, he's he's
35:31
staring her right in the face, touching her shoulder like
35:34
a father would say to a daughter, you're being fake news.
35:38
I mean, the body language of paternalism is so fascinating
35:45
because I honestly believe he's trying to get her to realize,
35:49
Oh crap, I am. But then he goes on to
35:51
say about the premise of going to war. He had
35:54
posted a graphic to his social media platform with a
35:58
big early police officer Chicago, Chicagoopolis. It was basically apocalypse
36:08
but Chicagopolis, no coke, PEPSI. But then said this, We're.
36:14
Speaker 2: Not going to war.
36:15
Speaker 10: We're going to clean up our city.
36:16
Speaker 15: We're going to clean them up.
36:17
Speaker 4: So they don't kill five people every weekend.
36:20
Speaker 10: That's not war, that's common sense.
36:25
Speaker 3: And the National Guard and I pointed out this story
36:29
in the First Things after seventy or eighty percent of
36:35
all the news coverage and ninety five percent of all
36:37
the commentary outside of conservative talk radio has been negative
36:43
about President Trump using the National Guard in Washington, DC,
36:48
and depending on whether you're a half full or half
36:51
empty person, fifty seven percent. According to a CBS you
36:57
gov poll, fifty seven percent of respondents said they had
37:00
a negative view of the President's use of National Guard.
37:04
And I stopped and I thought about it. I said,
37:06
hold it. They only got to fifty seven percent after
37:11
weeks and weeks of unending negative with the exception of you,
37:16
me and Scott Jennings doing everything we can to bail
37:21
against this and to let common sense rain and that
37:25
the National Guard is there supporting the police so the
37:29
police can do the job that they're there to do
37:31
and not have to worry about all the other stuff.
37:38
I was actually at first, I'm like, oh my gosh.
37:40
Of course, a majority of Americans. But if you think
37:44
about the time and effort put into the narrative spinning,
37:49
it's actually pretty cool that it's only fifty seven percent
37:53
against the idea of using the National Guard to help
37:56
your local law enforcement out enforce the laws.
38:01
Speaker 17: Life can change so abruptly.
38:04
Speaker 10: Just ask Paul.
38:05
Speaker 17: He's a hard working entrepreneur, he's young, he's got a
38:08
young family, suddenly, though, he develops a rare medical condition
38:11
where he lost the use of both of his arms.
38:14
Speaker 14: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer, type,
38:17
couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold my son,
38:19
who was about a month old.
38:20
Speaker 17: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
38:23
but they're so thankful that they're members of metas Share.
38:27
Speaker 14: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does medicare
38:30
really work? I'm living proof that it works. My four
38:33
children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
38:36
have been healed, are living proof that Menashare works. Just
38:40
knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
38:42
are going to be taken care of when we have
38:44
some type of medical problem, that is such a huge
38:46
blessing to us.
38:47
Speaker 17: It could be a huge blessing to you to people
38:50
save so much and love being part of meta share.

Speaker 5: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
39:08
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
39:13
I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation. Our
39:19
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
39:23
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
39:27
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
39:32
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
39:37
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
39:43
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
39:46
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
39:51
healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

Speaker 27: Hid Jack Hannah and It's always a boy. Growing up
41:02
on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
41:05
I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
41:07
but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
41:09
birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
41:13
who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
41:15
who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
41:18
for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
41:21
them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
41:23
of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
41:26
best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
41:30
at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
41:33
perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
41:36
at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
41:38
from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
41:42
a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
41:44
variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
41:47
help those in need. So please join me an American
41:50
Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and all the
41:53
amazing animals on this planet.

42:05
Speaker 11: And now a speech.
42:07
Speaker 12: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
42:11
art and brain.
42:12
Speaker 1: Who's with me?
42:13
Speaker 12: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
42:16
brain is saying when it's time to go home, Somebody
42:19
call me a ride.
42:20
Speaker 22: Love that guy, me too.
42:21
Speaker 13: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
42:24
it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
42:29
Speaker 18: Did you know that more than half our household energy
42:32
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
42:36
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
42:40
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
42:43
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
42:46
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
42:50
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
42:53
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
42:56
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
43:00
when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
43:03
energy Star logo and read the energy guide label, and
43:07
there are day to day things you can do. Lower
43:09
your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
43:12
close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
43:15
air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by

45:02
And I want to take a moment away from the
45:05
bad and talk about the New Saints, especially this acutest
45:15
kid fifteen years old diagnosed with leukemia and was dead
45:23
in days, but had become an avatar of the what
45:33
do they call him, God's influencer? And I mean, if
45:36
you're going to go online and you're going to create online,
45:40
you know, do something good with it, don't just sit there.
45:43
And so much of the internet as consumed what we
45:46
were talking earlier about, you know, only fans pages and
45:52
TikTok and all this stuff. I mean, it's gee, why
45:56
she got so many followers. I can see two reasons
45:58
why she's got so many followers. But this kid used
46:09
his tech savvy became a cuter computer whiz, you know
46:13
early and as you know, as so many kids do.
46:15
It's a savant like almost, but I mean understanding computers
46:19
because they were always there. Created a website so that
46:27
people could look up miracles recognized by the church, sprint,
46:37
you know, and online talking about prayer and adherence Catholic religion,
46:45
and was canonized Sunday. It's the first quote millennial saint
46:57
and the Pope in his process. Apparently there's now a
47:08
Chicago school attached to Blessed Blessed Carlo Acutis Parish. So
47:14
there's already a school and a church parish in Chicago,
47:18
the Pope's hometown in his name. The naysayers, of course, said, wow,
47:30
this is just the Vatican trying to pump itself up
47:34
to the younger generation. But there there there, and there
47:41
was debate about real miracles and you know what would
47:45
be you know, a fair consideration. But the canonization, from
47:48
what I understand, was fairly not unanimous. But it was
47:55
a route and if nothing else, it's an example of
48:04
what can happen. We blame the things. This text message
48:09
here about the stabbing in Charlotte on the light rail train. Joe,
48:15
why don't we outlaw knives and screwdrivers along with guns?
48:18
Then nobody would get killed, right of course. And you
48:22
know England's done that. The Scottish girls who were arrested
48:27
for defending themselves with blade weapons, which are no no
48:38
anyone who's seen Clockwork Orange Doc Martin's are going to
48:42
be banned soon because we as a society, regardless of
48:52
your religion, want to blame the inanimate object. We want
48:58
to blame the internet for all the horrific things that
49:01
go on on the Internet, all the bullying, and all
49:04
the pornography, and all of the detestable, horrible things that
49:09
are all the character assassination that goes on. It's not
49:12
the Internet's fault. Oh yeah, it's fun if you can
49:16
blame al Gore for it. The Internet is just a thing.
49:20
It's an inanimate object that becomes animated when we start
49:24
doing things with it. And I think this was Acutess's point,
49:28
was that the Internet is not inherently good or bad.
49:31
It's the person on the keyboard that makes it that way.
49:36
And that's a message that you cannot deny. The firearm
49:45
is it eighty? I think it's approaching eighty percent of
49:49
all firearms discharges are done in a defensive way. According
49:54
to statistics recorded by law enforcement. And that's just the
49:57
ones recorded by law enforcement. We get the news stories
50:02
of the drive by shooting or some gang banger who
50:05
uses stolen gun, or then you know, you get Chuck
50:09
Schumer and talking about ghost guns. Was it a ghost
50:12
screwdriver in the guy's hand and the train? Why was
50:18
he walking around with a screwdriver or something to stab
50:21
this poor girl in the neck with on August twenty second.
50:26
By the way, the point of my order is in this,
50:30
how long did the Chicago or the part of me
50:32
not Chicago. We're thinking Chicago because of Trump and National
50:37
Guard might go there. But how long did the Charlotte
50:42
police sit on this until newsrooms started to bang on
50:46
the door because newsrooms were getting emails from friends of
50:51
the girl saying do you know about this? Just like
50:55
doctor Clark called on this radio program, I didn't know
50:57
about the murdered vet terinary professor in Auburn. Doctor Clark said, hey,
51:04
did you hear about what doug and found out? They've
51:07
made an arrest. Don't know how many times he's been arrested.
51:14
But as a society, we've found ourselves comforting ourselves in
51:18
the idea that we can inoculate ourselves from guilt for
51:24
the horrible things we do because we can blame the
51:27
internet for it, or the antidepressants, or the caffeine or
51:35
you name it.
51:35
Speaker 15: What is the.
51:38
Speaker 3: Number of things that we're blaming for Man's inhumanity to
51:43
man is becoming stunning? And this was really what this
51:46
kid Acutest was saying all this time on the internet.
51:55
And you know whether or not you think that the church,
51:59
the Church creation after his death in two thousand and six,
52:03
or not the message. And this becomes part of why
52:06
I look at people who debunk or try to say, oh,
52:10
he's not the message? Is the point to me? Not
52:14
you know who it is or what they're saying, and
52:18
did the Acutest is? Is the amount of people, the
52:21
amount of twenty somethings flocking to the Catholic Church a
52:25
miracle And that's what a lot of people are pointing to.
52:32
But you you tell me four three four eight eight
52:37
two four two one seven coming up on our news.
52:39
So we're gonna have to ask you to hang on
52:41
for a moment. Who's this? This is Bob from Moscow.
52:45
All right, Bob, hang on a second. We'll get to
52:47
you straight out the news, straight out of Compton.
52:51

53:24
old and members have shared over eight billion dollars of
53:27
each other's medical bills.
