"It's a Lie" (FTTxJT Wed 090226 hr3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I'm more mega now make America great again than I've
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: ever been.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: The blessings of a Tedstee on you and your kin.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: on the day that we set aside to talk about
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the things that make you special. The things that you
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: bring to the world that God put you here to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: do for your community. And that's why we fight this
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: egalitarian socialism because it's about taking that away from you.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: About telling you that somehow that's immoral. And it's manifesting
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: all over the place. We see it with the rise
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: of the democratic socialists of America.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: And if.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: We continue to be gaslit away from standing up against
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: this idea. It's going to win. As we continue to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: watch 40% of our electorate turn out for our elections,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: it'll win. Because all you have to do is make
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: 25% of the population abjectly poor and you win. Because
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the abjectly poor will vote for authoritarianism as long as
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: they don't have to worry about being able to get groceries.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: But the majority of us have to have to gird
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: up our loins and be brave in the face of haters,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: in the face of people who will say you don't
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: care about people. When what we're talking about, the freedoms
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that we're talking about, are the ultimate form of caring
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: about people. And the Eastern Orthodoxy versus the Western Liberty
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: is the battle line. And it includes Islam and the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Islamist totalitarianism and the Chaikom totalitarianism. And it's all dehumanizing
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: because the majority of the population are just viewed as
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: chattel for the use.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Of the dictator.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: How's your morning going? Jeez, Joe, you just went dark
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: right out of the bat. I'll tell you why. As
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the U.S. and Iran trade missile and drone strikes, Chairman
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Xi of China has arrived or will be arriving shortly
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East to play peaceman. He's going to
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Egypt to tell the Egyptian leadership that the Middle Eastern
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: countries should abandon the United States and follow China's lead
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: on their belt and road because they would be a
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: stabilizer in the region in contrast to the United States. Meanwhile,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: President Vladimir Putin of Russia saying, oh, I better be
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: seen doing something too, found Massoud Prejikian, president of Iran,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Kyrgyzstan and got
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: a photo op with him telling the press that gathered
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: that he's going to continue to fully support Iran versus
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the United States. A gathering of our own in Asheville,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: North Carolina, the group of 20 Secretary of the Treasury
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Scott Besant said that after meetings with the leaders of
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the Group of 20, he has secured, quote, significant support
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: from U.S. allies for its economic campaign against Iran. Ed
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Markey has survived yet another primary challenger to his long
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: run in the U.S. Senate. Markey, who's 80, defeated Trump.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Congressman Seth Moulton, 47, whose campaign was built around the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: idea of ending the status quo. President Trump said yesterday
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that he is going to nominate acting Navy Secretary Hung
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Kau for the job permanently. He's been serving as acting
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Navy Secretary since John Phelan departed his job. Be interesting
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to see Tim Kaine interviewing Mr. Kau since the two
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: ran against one another for the U.S.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Senate.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Some tourists previously reported missing in Nepal after the catastrophic
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: flooding have been found, and they've contacted their embassy. Many
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: of them were Australians. Death toll has risen to 1,100-plus
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: people dead, 3,900 missing. Apple has changed the name of
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Lake Ontario to Lake America in the web version of
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: its Apple Maps. Google has done the same thing. And
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the FBI has seized more than $ 560, 000 in cryptocurrency donations
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that were headed to Hamas. You may have heard that
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I write for the Daily Signal. I'm one of the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: folks covering Virginia politics. And in Virginia... One of the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: new cool kids thing is to not raise your taxes,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: but to allow someone else to raise your taxes on you.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: And that's what Virginia did in the General Assembly. They
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: gave all your local governments a chance to raise income
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: tax or a sales tax on you to put into
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: a slush fund to build stuff that may or may
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: not ever even be visible to the general public in
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the school capital budgets. 47% of Virginia's municipalities will be
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: voting on this regressive sales tax this year. And that's
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the cornerstone of my latest column coming up later today

• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,

  Speaker 8: You were strolling along in goodwill. When just past that
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them, nestled
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes!
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: Yes!
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: favorite form of ear candy.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, my.
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: Shh.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Do you smell that?
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: Shh. That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this

• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Goodwill.
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: Bring good home.
• 9:58
  Speaker 11: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:03
  Speaker 11: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:09
  Speaker 11: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:13
  Speaker 11: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:16
  Speaker 11: few lifestyle changes. including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:22
  Speaker 11: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:24
  Speaker 11: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:28
  Speaker 11: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:33
  Speaker 11: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:37
  Speaker 11: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:41
  Speaker 12: Eat better. Get moving.

  Speaker 3: My name is Jim. I'm a veteran, and I lost
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: both legs in Vietnam. My victory was proving that a
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: disability is not a limitation.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: I'm Julius.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: I'm a veteran.

  Speaker 17: No word in the English language is less convincing than probably.
• 11:53
  Speaker 16: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:55
  Speaker 16: first date?
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 11:57
  Speaker 12: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 17: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I can probably swim.
• 12:05
  Speaker 14: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:08
  Speaker 15: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Cannonball!
• 12:12
  Speaker 18: Cramp!
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, I have a cramp.
• 12:17
  Speaker 14: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 12:19
  Speaker 18: Probably.
• 12:24
  Speaker 14: Can I get a mulligan? Ready to go?
• 12:28
  Speaker 12: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:36
  Speaker 17: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 17: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 17: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
• 12:46
  Speaker 17: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 12:48
  Speaker 16: You know the legal drinking age is 21. You may
• 12:51
  Speaker 16: also know this law protects teens. Find out more at DontServeTeens.gov.

  Speaker 16: the Federal Trade Commission.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: From the home of the First Amendment, First Thing Today.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: That is Ted's D-Morning. Save this one for the A-Block.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Why do I call it that? It's a silly thing
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: radio people do. Supposedly the most important part of any
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: morning show is right around now on the eastern seaboard.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: And if you've ever listened for any amount of time,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: this is usually when the big star guests or the
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: recording of the big star guests shows up. Because big
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: star guests don't show up at 720 Eastern Daylight Time.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Or this is when the big cash giveaway is. But
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I wanted to save this naysayer, if you will, for
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: this segment. Because I got a couple of emails saying,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: does nobody disagree with you, Joe? That this is a
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: concern and shouldn't we be more worried about things like, oh,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the price of gas right now? Well, you see, that's
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: what the Eastern totalitarian wants you worried about the immediate
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: because they'll come in and say, I can fix that.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Look at my magic. I have a magic little red
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: book and I can fix your issues for you right away.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: They don't want you looking at the bigger picture. They
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: don't want you saying, hey, who's behind that door? So
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the question is raised by Dan, who's been listening to
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: us so far down in Provo on 1400. He said,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: poverty is a real issue, Joe. And you're trivializing it
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: like it's a political game. These are people who are
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: starving or at least significantly suffering under food insecurity. This
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: is Hunger Action Month, and you're acting like hunger is
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a state of mind or something people choose to do. Well,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, interestingly enough, a dear friend
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: of mine, is a spokesperson and one of the movers
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: and shakers at our local food bank, part of Feeding America,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and we do a ton of work. Don't believe me?
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Les will be joining us a little while to talk
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: about National Hunger Month with the Feeding America folks. Because
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: conservatives have to be in the midst of the answers.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: And I don't know about the food banks in Provo.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Presume you have them. It's a fairly religiously rooted city,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: so I would imagine there are food pantries and food
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: banks and soup kitchens and things like that to work
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: on that aspect of poverty. One of my favorite groups,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, in 20 days, just under
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: three weeks, I'll be doing a telethon emceeing a telethon,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: and we've been doing it for decades plus, for the
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Salvation Army. And who roll up their sleeves and try
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: to turn people's lives around. Just because you need a
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: room for the night and a hot meal, that's not
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: the end of it. That's the manifestation of it. And
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: So the point we're trying to make about poverty is
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the fact that it's a bigger deal, and you do
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: need folks like the Salvation Army and the Feeding America
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: folks and their network of food banks with their sleeves
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: rolled up doing the work of helping people get out
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: of this cycle of poverty. And some of it is
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: driven by our indulgences. And more and more of our
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: elected officials are out there saying, hey, you know what?
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Let's put casino games on people's phones. Allow for that.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Where is Lee McGowan on that kind of predatory capitalism?
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Up in Canada, where she's from, they love their casinos.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: legalize this drug, legalize that drug. Stop kids from finding
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: out that there is a better way to start a
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: family than to just jump in the backseat and feel
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: good for a few minutes and then have a baby
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: that you're going to have to do something with. Oh,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: the left has their answers. But the key to me
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: is that it's a lie. And this is something Dr.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Clark and I debate about because Dr. Clark is taking
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: it on a much more pedantic level. He knows that Marxism, Maoism,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: is there to centralize power with a small group of decision-makers.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: As I said, it's the smiling face on dictatorship. And
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Mao took it a step further and he said, hey,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I can make this Chinese-style totalitarianism pretty quickly. To me, though,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: and he's right.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Dr.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Clark is absolutely right when he says that this is
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: about centralizing power and therefore money distribution to the chosen ones.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: But the lie they tell you is that it's going
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: to equalize everything. There's going to be this mystic equity
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: that's going to come from this Eastern totalitarianism.
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: We have got to a place where we have deregulated
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: everything so much that only a certain handful of people
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: are actually succeeding in this version of capitalism.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: And think about how disingenuous that statement is or how
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: dumb you have to be to believe it. A deregulated
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: market means anyone can participate. And then she says that
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: the fruit of this deregulated market is only a few
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: people can participate. I mean, I understand Canadian public schools
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: and whatnot. Tall, blonde hair, blue eyes, you know, master
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: race type. I can understand she went to the head
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: of the class without a lot of questions, right? So,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: you know, she becomes the pitchman for the authoritarians. But
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the gag is, and do we have the clip of
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Bejmanoff saying, you know, the punchline at the end of
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: all of this is that we don't have the client. But,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: you know, he points out the fact that all these folks,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: all these folks like Lee McGowan, who think they're going
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: to be in power when Maoism takes over the United States,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: are going to find themselves up against a wall with
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: a blindfold on. Because the people they're working for, whether
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: wittingly or not, are not going to give them any authority.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: You're just one of our useful, let's use the word, tool.
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44
• 22:06

  Speaker 19: Would your car perform better with premium gas or regular?

  Speaker 19: What do octane ratings mean? I'm Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor,

• 23:11
  Speaker 19: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
• 23:14
  Speaker 19: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:17
  Speaker 19: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
• 23:21
  Speaker 20: That's what you should use.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: But there are.
• 23:23
  Speaker 19: Exceptions to the rule. Many high-end or luxury vehicles call
• 23:26
  Speaker 19: for premium or higher octane fuel. And the reason for
• 23:29
  Speaker 19: this is not just due to the octane rating. There
• 23:32
  Speaker 19: are better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know, too,
• 23:36
  Speaker 19: that vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
• 23:38
  Speaker 19: with carbon deposits. so they pack more cleaning power into
• 23:41
  Speaker 19: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
• 23:44
  Speaker 19: your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful, you may
• 23:48
  Speaker 19: find better performance and miles per gallon because you are
• 23:51
  Speaker 19: cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive. Just
• 23:54
  Speaker 19: don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them anytime soon.

  Speaker 19: See you next time.

  Speaker 5: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

  Speaker 1: is what they call practice for the Orlando NBA team.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: He is our sports director. He is Mac McDonald. Good morning, Mac.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: How are you, sir?
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Well, good morning.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Happy Wednesday, midweek. Tomorrow, early, the judge decides what's going
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: to happen.
• 28:39
  Speaker 10: I said I was going to try to stay away
• 28:41
  Speaker 10: from the story earlier.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: But now Dabo Sweeney.
• 28:46
  Speaker 23: Comes to the table, and I should have realized that
• 28:49
  Speaker 23: Tuesday is his press conference day, and that a guy
• 28:52
  Speaker 23: who wins a couple of natties, nine Atlantic Coast Conference titles,
• 28:57
  Speaker 23: he can hold court and say almost anything he wants
• 28:59
  Speaker 23: to do.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: See, the Tigers, let's back up a little bit of
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: history here.
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: Clemson has not been, you know, overly involved in the portal,
• 29:07
  Speaker 10: and Sweeney has been very, you know, he's been criticized
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: for it. This year, they had about 11 transfers come in,
• 29:16
  Speaker 10: and now in the 2026 cycle, but they just had
• 29:20
  Speaker 10: around three or fewer per year, you know, compared to
• 29:23
  Speaker 10: how everybody else is building their roster. Well, of course,
• 29:27
  Speaker 10: he got the question about... you know, what's happening at LSU.
• 29:31
  Speaker 10: They play at seven 30, in Baton Rouge Saturday night,
• 29:36
  Speaker 10: you know, Brooke Garth.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: Brooks, Colin Baton Rouge, all the music will be there.
• 29:40
  Speaker 10: The people will be this atmosphere. I, I'd almost, it's
• 29:44
  Speaker 10: almost worth like a plane.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: Ticket to go, to go to the game.
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: But anyway, Dabo held court yesterday and used all the
• 29:51
  Speaker 10: words in, Even tried a little humor, and he went
• 29:57
  Speaker 10: after the program in college football.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: And what are we thinking in college football?
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Grab some popcorn, kids.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. Just sit back and enjoy. Turn it up
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: if you'd like to.
• 30:08
  Speaker 24: I just keep my energy and my focus on football.
• 30:12
  Speaker 24: and my energy on the things that I control and
• 30:15
  Speaker 24: the things that matter, and.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: That's these kids here and our team.
• 30:17
  Speaker 24: But, you know, all that outside stuff, I mean, we
• 30:19
  Speaker 24: just kind of, no pun intended, we just stay.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: In our lane, you know, here at Clemson. Try to.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Every now and then somebody will ram into us.
• 30:28
  Speaker 24: But we try to just kind of handle our business here.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: Somebody gave him that line or he worked on it
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: all morning. It was the gym dance moment. We just
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: try to stay in our lane, no pun intended. Yeah, right, Dan.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: You're talking to us, okay?
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: So with that came, all right, let's take on the
• 30:45
  Speaker 10: whole system here and explain everything.
• 30:48
  Speaker 24: You know, we have no rules. There's no governance. I mean,
• 30:51
  Speaker 24: it's a joke. There's zero rules. And when you enforce rules,
• 30:56
  Speaker 24: somebody just goes and finds a judge to say, no,
• 30:58
  Speaker 24: you can't enforce that rule. So never did I think
• 31:01
  Speaker 24: I'd be living in an era like this, but that's
• 31:03
  Speaker 24: where we are.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: Oh, this is just way too much fun. I wish
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: I had a sports talk show today. Wait, I got
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: 10 minutes with Joe all over the country. So that's
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: a good thing. All right.
• 31:12
  Speaker 10: So now, I mean, it went further. This is another source.
• 31:17
  Speaker 10: So you'll hear just a little bit different in the audio.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: I really didn't have to explain that. However.
• 31:22
  Speaker 10: So Dabo went further into what he.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: Did this summer as far as preparing for the season.
• 31:30
  Speaker 24: Been spending these last week or so studying the Browns
• 31:33
  Speaker 24: and the Cowboys and the Saints and the Bucs, trying
• 31:37
  Speaker 24: to get ready. I actually got to go watch practice
• 31:39
  Speaker 24: early June for the Browns, so I'm probably going to
• 31:42
  Speaker 24: get turned in for tampering.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I wish I'd have known. I'd have
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: paid a little more attention.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's too good. Now, you know every Cleveland sports
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: talk host. Is Dabo on the short list? Dabo over
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: the head coaching job?
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. With Todd Monick.
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: But here's some of the back story to that, too,
• 32:04
  Speaker 10: if you remember. it was Ole Miss who poached the
• 32:08
  Speaker 10: kid who came from Cal.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: The linebacker.
• 32:11
  Speaker 10: I can't remember his name, of course, in this case,
• 32:13
  Speaker 10: meaning he sat in class for a week and then
• 32:17
  Speaker 10: opened his phone during class, and Ole Miss said, we
• 32:20
  Speaker 10: want you, we'll pay you X, and he leaves Clemson.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: He packs his car, and of course, you know, and then, Dabo.
• 32:28
  Speaker 10: Turns in Ole Miss and nothing really happened.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: There's no real life penalties or anything. So that's just
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: where we are. And I just thought... And when I heard.
• 32:39
  Speaker 10: So anyway, from a social media standpoint, just to explain
• 32:44
  Speaker 10: my day and my thought process for each morning, I
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: get up about 5.30 or so and try to get
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: stuff ready.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: But last night, I really... I went outside for a while.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: It was a beautiful night. Took a drive, you know,
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: down by the beach. We looked at the ocean a
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: little bit, you know. But then when I started to watch.
• 33:05
  Speaker 10: Instagram, and the social media posts from Dabo, I went, oh.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: This is so good. I had the.
• 33:12
  Speaker 10: Godfather on in the background, MGM Plus. I'm watching the
• 33:16
  Speaker 10: original godfather, and.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: I go, the Dabo thing, that replaces what I'm doing.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: So anyway, I post it and put it in my email.
• 33:25
  Speaker 10: So I send it to my email so I'll have
• 33:27
  Speaker 10: it in the morning, and I cut it up this
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: morning because it's just.
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: You know, it's priceless.
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: And just because now LSU is a 10 point favorite.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: They have played. It's a it's a was a two
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: year contract home and home.
• 33:40
  Speaker 10: Last year, LSU won in in Clemson 1710.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: And so this will be the sixth overall meeting. You know,
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: who cares?
• 33:49
  Speaker 10: But when I'm like, God, the LSU fans are going
• 33:54
  Speaker 10: to just and especially, especially if the judge, you know,
• 34:00
  Speaker 10: stands behind the SEC and says, hey, these guys can't play.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: You know, go ahead.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Well, what has happened to the idea of contracting? You know,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: when was the moment we decided that contracts, you know,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, I was sued by, you know, a
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: company that shall remain nameless. And I've had. 17 years
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: of my career redacted.
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: How did you and I contract? How did you and
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: I contract? You said, well, we'll take care of things.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: We'd like to have you back. I went, okay. Yeah.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: But then, you know, but then these guys can just say,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: you know what? I want to go to this school.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: So I'm tearing up my contract. Why does it seem like,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: and believe me, I don't promote the idea of two-tiered,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: you know, justice lightly. But when people can break contracts,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: it's simple. You sign a contract to play ball for
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: a school. You can't leave until you've negotiated your way out.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: That contract has value. Somebody can't just come and take
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: my house unless they're from the state tax collectors, but
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: that's a different story. But some guy can't walk off
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: the street and take my house saying, Yeah, I left
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: my house. I didn't like it anymore, so I'm coming
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: in here to take yours. That's against the law. You know,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: the one thing I asked the FCC to do is
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: protect my broadcast frequencies. Simple. Just, you know, protect the contracts.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: But we've ignored them. We're like, oh, that's not freedom.
• 35:40
  Speaker 10: Well, the whole thing has, you know, migrated to remember
• 35:45
  Speaker 10: the fax machines and the kids during signing day, you know,
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: turning in their Their letter of intent, you know, which
• 35:52
  Speaker 10: was the original letter of intent.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Which actually meant something.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: It did. It did.
• 35:57
  Speaker 10: So now when, you know, the kids love the press
• 36:01
  Speaker 10: conference at the high school in the gym with the
• 36:03
  Speaker 10: four different hats.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: And then, you know, they pick the hat.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: LeBron James.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: Well, now they're going to have to put probably... let's
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: see this hat first year, then I'm going to transfer
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: to this school.
• 36:14
  Speaker 10: So I'm going to, I'm going to put four hats
• 36:16
  Speaker 10: on the, on the table. And, uh, but that's so,
• 36:20
  Speaker 10: so now to predict and Friday morning, we'll know. Cause the, the,
• 36:25
  Speaker 10: I think it's 11 AM tomorrow in Baton Rouge, the
• 36:27
  Speaker 10: judge is going to speak and try to put things
• 36:29
  Speaker 10: together regarding what's going to happen. And I, um, if
• 36:32
  Speaker 10: I had to pick, um, the judge is going to
• 36:36
  Speaker 10: take on the SEC and they're going to stand behind
• 36:39
  Speaker 10: their decision and the kids will be playing. Now, I
• 36:42
  Speaker 10: saw somebody put together a very professionally produced video yesterday of,
• 36:50
  Speaker 10: maybe I can grab some of the audio, but an
• 36:52
  Speaker 10: LSU girl going around giving a tour of the campus
• 36:56
  Speaker 10: to Daquan Wright. It was somebody playing Daquan Wright who
• 37:01
  Speaker 10: was getting his meal card and going to the library.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: And it was just... It just, you know, it was
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: going on and on.
• 37:11
  Speaker 10: About how LSU is such a special place and why
• 37:13
  Speaker 10: would you not want to be here and so on
• 37:15
  Speaker 10: and so forth. So anyway, oh, and then it had
• 37:18
  Speaker 10: Daquan Wright playing against these kids that were, you know,
• 37:21
  Speaker 10: he's just killing them.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: 15 years old, right? Yeah.
• 37:23
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was precious. So anyway, with that, my week
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: couldn't get any better.
• 37:30
  Speaker 10: My Belgium nurse gets home tonight from Discover Airlines on
• 37:34
  Speaker 10: an 11-hour flight.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: By the way, when he says that, he means his wife,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: who is a nurse.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: Yes, wife, my nurse.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Not like you went on Amazon.com and ordered a Belgium nurse.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: She didn't come in the portal.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: I actually....
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: Anyway, have a great Wednesday.
• 37:50

  Speaker 1: Or abolishing the police?
• 38:11
  Speaker 15: At a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of

• 39:10
  Speaker 5: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 39:43

• 40:38
  Speaker 7: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:43
  Speaker 7: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:46
  Speaker 7: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 7: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: of an infection that can spread from person to person.

• 44:17
  Speaker 1: This is just what the doctor ordered. More than a
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: decade ago, this program, this segment of my program, was
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: invented as I was undergoing treatment for lymphoma. And I
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: started to meet all these people who you never hear
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: about in cancer treatments. The folks who work, as a
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: phrase I invented, was in-between infusions. or radiations, I get it.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Not everyone's getting an infusion. But it all began with
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: the fellow who's on the phone with us, who is
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: here to talk about blood cancers and National Blood Cancer
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: Awareness Month, but he is my oncologist. And for the
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: first time in 12 years, I think we've had a
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: chance to speak to one another, and I've been profoundly
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: grateful to him ever since.
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: Dr.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Craig Portell Dr. Portel, it's so good to have a
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: conversation with you again. How are you doing, sir?
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: With you also.
• 45:17
  Speaker 9: Thanks for inviting us on.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: So how have the last 12 years been? Treat any
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: interesting patients? See any other lymph glands that had broken
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: the skin?
• 45:24
  Speaker 9: You know, lymphomas always surprise me. So, you know, I
• 45:30
  Speaker 9: always get something new. So always something different.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, it's been good, though.
• 45:35
  Speaker 9: UVA has, of course, grown substantially in that time frame.
• 45:39
  Speaker 9: And we continue to make successes with new treatments and things.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I know that it took them quite a while
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: to figure out what it was. And I'm sure 12
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: years ago, the PET scan was the state of the art.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure there are new things now. But I
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: remember sitting in your office and looking at the results
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: of my PET scan. And you showed me this glowing
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: planet that was in my abdomen. And I remember you
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: said to me, you see the little black dot next
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: to it? And I said, yeah. He said, That's the
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: other lymph gland on its root. And that's how I
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: know what it is now. And I thought, you know,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: this is the reason we invest in technology, because otherwise
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: who knew how long it would have been before people
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: could have figured out what it was that I had.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: It was a rare form of lymphoma. Talk about the
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: technology that has made it easier for you to help
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: patients quicker, doctor.
• 46:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah, so sometimes it is a little bit, it's still
• 46:38
  Speaker 9: a little bit challenging to find the right diagnosis, and
• 46:42
  Speaker 9: I think sometimes it depends on, you know, how much
• 46:44
  Speaker 9: tissue we get and biopsy materials themselves. We are getting
• 46:50
  Speaker 9: a little bit better at some of our tests in
• 46:53
  Speaker 9: the blood, though, doing both molecular, so like mutational testing,
• 47:00
  Speaker 9: and we can.
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, no, no.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Don't lose Dr. Portel now. It's been 12 years, 12
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: years since I talked to him. Don't lose his call there. Um,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: so you were talking about some of the things, you know,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: blood tests and molecular, um, you know, so, so now
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: you can kind of start to test the blood and
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: see if there's a blood cancer going on there. I
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: guess that kind of makes sense.
• 47:26
  Speaker 9: It's not really that great at diagnosing. It's more great
• 47:29
  Speaker 9: at monitoring, to be honest with you. Um, So less
• 47:32
  Speaker 9: about the diagnosis and more about monitoring after treatment or
• 47:36
  Speaker 9: kind of decide is the disease still there or not,
• 47:38
  Speaker 9: those types of things.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: What are, and I know this is one of those
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: daunting things, until this manifestation of my own lymphoma happened,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: as I understand it, and we've done a few of
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: these segments about Blood Cancer Awareness Month, it really is
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: not something new. you're going to get a symptom of, Dr. Portel,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: unless you're really being ardently careful about it.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: Am I right?
• 48:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's not one of those things that, you know,
• 48:07
  Speaker 9: we think there's such a thing as catching it early,
• 48:10
  Speaker 9: these different syndromes, different cancers. And it can present in
• 48:17
  Speaker 9: multitude of ways. Like I say, I'm never really surprised
• 48:20
  Speaker 9: at what a blood cancer can do. So it's... you know,
• 48:26
  Speaker 9: being mindful about your body and talking with your doctor
• 48:29
  Speaker 9: about how best to figure out what these symptoms may be.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: When you do finally, you know, start to get treatment,
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: has the treatments changed? I know, you know, we did
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: a traditional infusion run, you know, but have there become
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: new ways of treating blood cancers? I guess that even
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: includes bone marrow, doesn't it, Dr.
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: Portell?
• 48:55
  Speaker 9: That's right.
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 48:56
  Speaker 9: Blood cancers are, you know, cancers of the bone marrow,
• 48:58
  Speaker 9: the lymph nodes, sometimes even the bones, really cancers of
• 49:04
  Speaker 9: the cells of the immune system. And yeah, there are
• 49:07
  Speaker 9: newer ways to treat blood cancers. We have more targeted agents.
• 49:12
  Speaker 9: I think in general, we're moving away from some chemotherapy
• 49:16
  Speaker 9: in some instances. Chemotherapy is still very very, very helpful
• 49:21
  Speaker 9: in many instances, though. So we are trying to peel
• 49:25
  Speaker 9: back the toxicity and treat the cancers more specifically than
• 49:30
  Speaker 9: rather just the chemotherapy, the toxic chemotherapy that we tend
• 49:34
  Speaker 9: to think of. Now, don't get me wrong. Chemotherapy can
• 49:37
  Speaker 9: still be very, very helpful.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Well, I make this comparison politically to different agendas. I said,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: you know, in the right amount, it saves lives. Too
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: much of it, not so much. You're going to have
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: a different outcome there.
• 49:52
  Speaker 9: Absolutely correct.
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: Dr.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Craig Portell on with us now. He works with UVA.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: What do people across the world, since last we talked,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: a lot more people tuning into the program. Are there ways,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: I know the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is a wonderful
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: organization that I did a lot for after you finished
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: with me. Are there best places to go to help out,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: to find out more about blood cancers?
• 50:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah, so the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is certainly a
• 50:23
  Speaker 9: great place. They actually changed their name to the Blood
• 50:25
  Speaker 9: Cancer United. Oh, really?
• 50:26
  Speaker 24: Yeah, yeah.
• 50:30
  Speaker 9: Each individual type of blood cancer usually has their own
• 50:36
  Speaker 9: group associated with it, like lymphoma has lymphoma research foundation.
• 50:39
  Speaker 9: There's a disease called myelodysplastic syndrome that has an MDS foundation.
• 50:44
  Speaker 9: There's various different foundations. that are fairly easy to find
• 50:47
  Speaker 9: online and are very good and very supportive of patient advocacy,
• 50:53
  Speaker 9: patient education, and do a lot of really good things
• 50:59
  Speaker 9: for our patients.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: And I imagine, I know that lymphoma has a bad
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: history of recurrence, and we've got some really dramatic, you know,
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: a friend of mine had undergone the, I think it's
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: called T-cell transplants where they basically reboot your immune system
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: and he wound up, you know, 10 years, you know,
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: without a lymphoma, um, reemergence, um, have we made even
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: more strides in making these blood cancers less recurrent?
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: Uh, yes.
• 51:35
  Speaker 9: So, uh, for, you know, lymphomas, um, like you, like
• 51:39
  Speaker 9: you mentioned, there's these T cell, uh, immunotherapies, um, In leukemias,
• 51:45
  Speaker 9: we're doing less of the very big chemotherapy and more
• 51:48
  Speaker 9: targeted agents. In myeloma, we're starting to utilize some of
• 51:51
  Speaker 9: these T-cell activating drugs. And we're kind of moving, you know,
• 51:58
  Speaker 9: at some point, I think we're going to move away
• 52:00
  Speaker 9: from doing the cellular therapy where we take the T-cells
• 52:05
  Speaker 9: out and genetically modify them to just giving an immunotherapy
• 52:10
  Speaker 9: drug to activate those T-cells in the body.
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: Interesting.
• 52:14
  Speaker 9: So that can become less toxic and hopefully just as effective.
• 52:19
  Speaker 9: You know, I think that's the new, you know, like
• 52:23
  Speaker 9: you said, there are new things coming out all the time.
• 52:26
  Speaker 9: And what we did 10 years ago is certainly different
• 52:29
  Speaker 9: than what we're doing now.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you for what you did 10 plus years
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: ago for me, Dr.
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: Craig Portel.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: It is Blood Cancer Awareness Month. He's with UVA. Find your,
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: what's the, it's the Blood Cancer United is the group now?
• 52:45
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 52:46
  Speaker 9: Leukemia and Lymphoma Society changed their name to Blood Cancer United.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: Have a great morning, sir. Thank you.
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: You know, it's true.
• 52:52
  Speaker 25: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
• 52:56
  Speaker 25: to think about what matters most when it comes to
• 52:58
  Speaker 25: our spending, our health care. This is why so many
