"Truthiness" (FTTxJT Tue 101326 hr1) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: This is Independence from Virginia, again, first thing today, by
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Joe works at.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: A steel mill, he's damn near every day.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Leaves for work when the sun comes up, drops the.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: Kids to school and all the work.
• 0:22
  Speaker 5: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
• 0:25
  Speaker 5: he needs.
• 0:26
  Speaker 6: No wonder Joe's always smiling, he only aims.
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: To please you.
• 0:35
  Speaker 7: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:37
  Speaker 7: this morning. Were you at the rally in Youngstown last night?
• 0:45
  Speaker 7: Got frisky in the crowd there as we gather around
• 0:49
  Speaker 7: and sort through it all, try to make sense of it,
• 0:52
  Speaker 7: chop it up into easily digestible gummies. And as the
• 0:56
  Speaker 7: side effects start to kick in, and unlike a lot
• 0:59
  Speaker 7: of pharmaceuticals, Failure to serve you is not one of
• 1:02
  Speaker 7: our side effects. Have you ever noticed those ads? Not
• 1:06
  Speaker 7: to sound like Jerry Seinfeld all of a sudden. What's
• 1:10
  Speaker 7: with these pharmaceuticals? Always buried in the side effects is
• 1:18
  Speaker 7: what I can only describe as failure to do anything
• 1:21
  Speaker 7: for you. So you have depression medication whose side effects
• 1:27
  Speaker 7: include worsening depression, you know, liver or bowel distress medication
• 1:34
  Speaker 7: whose side effects include increased bowel distress. I would love
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: to have a business where failure not only is an option,
• 1:44
  Speaker 7: but can be listed as a side effect. Man, I
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: got into the wrong business. I was pretty bad in
• 1:52
  Speaker 7: science class anyway. So I probably, although marketing is a
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: big part of what goes on in pharmaceuticals, I would
• 1:59
  Speaker 7: hazard to say There are more people at AstraZeneca that
• 2:03
  Speaker 7: work in the development department than work in the pharmaceutical
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: development department. But that's just anecdotal evidence. But as I've
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: said to you before, after what's approaching 40 years of
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: doing this, I've learned one thing, that 96.3% of all
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: statistics you hear in a radio show are made up
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: on the spot. Huh?
• 2:28
  Speaker 8: Huh?
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: So as we gather, I will tell you what went
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: on last night. I'll give you my analysis of it, sure.
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: But I want to hear how it's impacting you, where
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: you are. The single most important local aspect of this
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: radio station is you. So if I don't hear from you,
• 2:45
  Speaker 7: I'm not hearing from anyone. So 434-882-4217 is the phone number.
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: And find out for yourself. At least once every couple
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: of days, I'll get a phone call from somebody saying,
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: is this really you? Yeah, I know in the age
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: of AI, we all have our AI phone answering systems, right?
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: Except for me.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: I just feel like there'll be something bad that will
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: happen if I get one of those AI phone answering systems.
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: So if you call me, even after the show is done,
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: you'll get me. They're at 434-882-4217. Our first thing's European
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: leaders have broken from the Trump administration, actually upping the
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: ante on sanctions against 1,569 Russian citizens with ties to
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: Russia's military-industrial complex. President Trump called Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: Minnesota totally crooked on Monday in his first public remarks
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: since the federal search of the Congresswoman's Washington, D.C. home,
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: though he didn't say anything more on the investigation, referring
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: people to the Justice Department. Al-Qaeda and its supporters are
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: threatening to kill Americans, including U.S. soldiers, hijack airplanes, and
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: more if the planned execution of Fort Hood murderer Nidal
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: Hassan is culminated. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula warned Monday, quote,
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: the day America makes this decision, it will have made
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: a decision to execute whoever among you falls captive to us.
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: President Trump renewed his pledge to send $ 5, 000 checks to
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: Americans if Republicans retain control of Congress in November. The
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: president cast the proposed payments as financial incentive for voters
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: in to help Republicans maintain their House and Senate majorities.
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: The Justice Department announced charges against 16 individuals in election-related
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: fraud cases nationwide on Monday, including allegations of voting by non-citizens,
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: fraudulent voter registration, voting multiple times, and trying to cast
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: a ballot on behalf of deceased persons. Department of Homeland
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: Security says New York City has refused to honor more
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: than 16,000 immigration and custom enforcement detainers since the start
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: of the Trump administration. The detainers request that authorities told
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: illegal aliens for up to 48 hours beyond their scheduled
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: release so ICE can take custody of them. The Kimberly
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: Guilfoyle controversy continues to wind as she strikes back Her
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: attorneys say that rather than receiving improper payments, her text
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: messages to the Kentucky attorney were trying to collect money
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: owed for legitimate work performed before she entered the diplomatic service.
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: And those are some of our first things this morning.
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: I don't know if you know this or not. I
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: write for the Daily Signal. I cover Virginia news for them,
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: our flagship state. There we have got a great team
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: of folks covering Virginia news, and I'm amongst them. We
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: also have teams covering Ohio, Georgia, Texas, California. California is fun.
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: We have team meetings, and I listen to the folks
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: in California and say, gosh, I thought Virginia was crazy.
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: And they're chasing all kinds of stuff, pollution and corruption,
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: which is technically, I guess, pollution if you think about it,
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: all at DailySignal.com. And, oh, yes, by the way, Victor
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: Davis Hanson on a daily basis at DailySignal.com. First thing today,
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: supported by jcsgold.com. Sure, talk radio shows have gold sponsors,
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: but this is a family business that wants to give
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: you advice not based on what their quota is for
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: that day. Gold is up $ 16 this morning. I know
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: that because I went to JCS.
• 7:01

• 7:05
  Speaker 9: school systems and lousy service? Strongtel cuts your phone bills

  Speaker 4: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation has antioxidant
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: properties and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: at least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells, even
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 10: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: warn you about telephone scammers, pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 10: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 10: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: personal information like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 10: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I'm Jack Hanna.
• 10:00
  Speaker 11: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
• 10:01
  Speaker 11: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
• 10:05
  Speaker 11: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
• 10:07
  Speaker 11: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
• 10:10
  Speaker 11: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes who work hard
• 10:13
  Speaker 11: to provide for their young. Or penguins, who travel up
• 10:16
  Speaker 11: to 500 miles to secure food for their families. Or
• 10:19
  Speaker 11: bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
• 10:21
  Speaker 11: trees and the wild in search of fruit. This remarkable
• 10:24
  Speaker 11: work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
• 10:28
  Speaker 11: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
• 10:30
  Speaker 11: because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work
• 10:34
  Speaker 11: every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
• 10:36
  Speaker 11: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
• 10:39
  Speaker 11: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
• 10:42
  Speaker 11: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
• 10:45
  Speaker 11: roles that contribute to society.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: And help those in need.
• 10:47
  Speaker 11: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 11: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 11: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 12: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 13: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 11: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 14: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 14: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 12: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 15: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28
  Speaker 16: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 16: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 16: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 16: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 16: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 16: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 16: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 16: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 16: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 16: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 16: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:07
  Speaker 16: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 16: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 16: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18
  Speaker 16: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.
• 12:24
  Speaker 16: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission.
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: at MakeTheConnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:19
  Speaker 17: Hey, hey, hey.
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: Just say, you know, I'm just showing you my hooves.
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: That's all. Just bring in the equine. Say, no, it's
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: just showing you, you know, eventually I'm going to evolve
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: a hoof here and I'm just, you know, don't want
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: to get it shooed. You know, that could become a
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: whole new fashion thing in the world of these spanners
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: and nose rings and all this. You know, just somebody
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: putting a horseshoe on the, tip of their middle finger.
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: And no, you know, people wouldn't like, what the hell
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: is that? I said, well, I'm just getting prepared for
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: when this is how I need to run.
• 14:04
  Speaker 15: So, uh, I have.
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: No, don't, don't even try to make sense of it all.
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: My wife's been married to me for three decades and
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: she just says, okay, yeah, whatever, Joe. This is why
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: my kids are pretty sure they're never going to know
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: if I start to slip into dementia. My daughter thinks
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: my last good marble could have already fallen out of
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: my hands. But then again, she chose to live in Philadelphia,
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: so I don't know what it is. So did you
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: go to the rally yesterday? So folks listening at my 1570,
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: I bet some of you went to this rally yesterday.
• 14:47
  Speaker 11: I want to thank you very much, John, and hello
• 14:49
  Speaker 11: to Youngstown, a special place.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: We won this thing by so much in Youngstown, all
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: over the state.
• 14:56
  Speaker 11: We had the highest vote in the history of Ohio politics.
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: Out there stumping away four candidates, Vivek Ramaswamy and Husted,
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: and doing some campaign work, and Right now, the left
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: is having a fit over trying to decide where the camp...
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: Because there used to be, and I've known a lot
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: of political types in my life, I mean, there were
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: structures and rules about what was considered campaign activity and
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: what was not, what you could do, especially if you
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: were the president, but even if you were a member
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: of Congress or.
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: A governor, you know, where, who could come in? Oh,
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: you can't come into this office. You're your campaign staff.
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: And this is our congressional office and those firewalls and things.
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: I think a lot of Americans were, or a lot
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: of American politicians were using, um, those rules to fool
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: Americans and, and especially in their districts. Because there's an
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: old expression in politics, the power of the incumbency. Because
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: the incumbent in office, whether it's a senator or president, governor,
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: is going to get news coverage because there are activities
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: that demand being covered by the news. For a great example.
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: Bruce Blakeman, running for governor of New York, got a
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: ton of media coverage over the last few months or
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: so because of weather-related issues that took place in his
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: district where he is county executive in Nassau County. And
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: a lot of people are pointing to that, to why
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: his polls are closing the gap against Kathy Hochul, because
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: two months ago there was a poll released that said
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: Bruce Blakeman was within four percentage points of beating Kathy
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: Hochul for governor of New York, even though 47% of
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: New Yorkers had never heard of him. I guess enough
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: people had heard of Kathy Hochul, so they're like, yeah,
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: who's the other guy? I don't care. I'm just going to.
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: I don't care what letters after his name. He could
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: be in the FU party. I don't care. And that's
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: New Yorkers, by the way. Grew up there. My hometown
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: is New York City. Queens, technically. Not far from where
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: President Trump grew up. He's about 10 years my senior.
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: But it doesn't matter. Political party doesn't matter if they
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: feel like you're screwing up. They'll vote for the other guy,
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: even if they don't have no idea who the other
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: guy is. And some of the mayors of New York
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: have proven that pretty carefully. I don't care. I'm just
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: voting for the other guy. Oh, my God, the other
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: guy is 10 times worse. In any event, the power
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: of the incumbency means that you're going to get news
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: coverage if you're the county executive of Nassau County and
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: something happens on a pier in you know, there's a
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: collapse of a pier or hurricane strikes, you're going to
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: be on the news because it's your job to administer
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: the government of that office. But where is that line?
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: These rallies have the left going crazy. these $ 5, 000 checks
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: have the left and the right going crazy. He's given
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: up any degree of coyness. He's saying straight out, if
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: Republicans retain control of the House and Senate, you're going
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: to get a dividend check. Now, How is this the left?
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: This is not because he can't do that.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: He's campaigning.
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: And some of the leftists have given up even trying
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: to argue the fact that they may or may not
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: be a violation of campaign laws. And this is the
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: part where, you know, the question was asked whether, you know,
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: it was possible. And the president just kept talking about it.
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: And eventually either one of two things is going to happen.
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: They will file suit saying you can't do that and
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: he would stop. or as is the case, they go
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: find some other reason to complain about it and he
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: keeps doing it. The president built the idea on the
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: idea of a company handing out cash distributions to its shareholders.
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: And this is one of the reasons it's popular is
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: He's talking to you like you're a shareholder in the
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: United States. For the first time, somebody is acknowledging the
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: amount of money you give to the United States government,
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: and you're still the owner of it. More heresy committed
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: by this guy that I still say befuddles all the
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: traditionalists when it comes to political performance is. But they're
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: not saying he can't do it. That's the fun thing,
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: is that first they're like, I guess he can. Because
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: what he's promising is that if the Republicans retain control
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: of Congress, taxes and those sorts of things generate more
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: revenue for the government, which will give them the opportunity
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: to send out, quote, dividends. His defense has often been,
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: What happened to all the other incentive programs under Obama?
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: Remember shovel-ready jobs and all these things that were brokered
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: through organizations that took their cut? Grant programs and things
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: like that that made six-figure salaries for people who administered
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: them but never got to you. Hey, I'm Brant, and
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: her name is Sherry.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Hello.
• 22:04
  Speaker 17: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 17: for because of a surgery she just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 18: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  Speaker 18: talk about all the time, which is?
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: MediShare.
• 22:13
  Speaker 18: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:15
  Speaker 17: So what was your experience like with MediShare and the
• 22:17
  Speaker 17: health care bills?
• 22:18
  Speaker 18: Honestly, Brant, seamless. And what a blessing that is when
• 22:21
  Speaker 18: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:24
  Speaker 18: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 18: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 18: call in with your need, that is just.
• 22:33
  Speaker 14: It is refreshing.
• 22:33
  Speaker 18: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 17: What I keep telling people, people love MediShare and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 17: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 18: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different,
• 22:46
  Speaker 18: and I mean different in a very, very good way.
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: It is good different. Call now.

  Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Artificial
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: intelligence is everywhere. and now it's helping veterinarians deliver better
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that speed up diagnoses
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports veterinary teams
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease, and even streamline
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: record-keeping so veterinarians can focus more on patients. But As
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: with any new technology, always keep a human in the
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: loop to maintain the best pet healthcare. AI is a
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: powerful tool, but not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion,
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: and judgment, which remains at the center of our profession.

  Speaker 4: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells, even
• 24:51

  Speaker 19: Oh, yeah?
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 25:59
  Speaker 15: And now a speech. I just want to say that
• 26:03
  Speaker 15: friendship is about heart. Heart and brain.
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: Who's with me?
• 26:08
  Speaker 11: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 14: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:13
  Speaker 14: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: Love that guy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 15: Me too.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:23
  Speaker 16: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:25
  Speaker 16: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:29
  Speaker 16: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 16: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:36
  Speaker 16: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 16: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 16: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 16: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulations. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 16: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 16: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:58
  Speaker 16: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 16: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 16: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 16: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:18
  Speaker 11: Magna Carta, Bill of Rights, the Constitution, what's it worth?
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: You know they're going to grind us down until it
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: really hurts.
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: There's a fine line when we report on stuff that
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: you have to be very careful because often the intent
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: of exposing something is designed to make you lose faith.
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: And it's a natural reaction when you find out about
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: corruption to lose faith in the system rather than say, well,
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: hold it, the system caught the corruption, so maybe there's
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: something to it. Such is the case of the Department
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: of Justice, 16 people, election-related cases reported voting by non-citizens,
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: fraudulent voter registration, multiple voting attempts, casting ballots on behalf
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: of dead people. The cases cross federal judicial districts and
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: and involve violations both during the 2022 and 2024 elections,
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: as well as charges involving illegally obtaining U.S. citizenship and
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: making false statements on voter registration forms. And you say, well, Joe,
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: come on, that's 16 people. That's 16 fewer people who
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: will do it again. It's also 16 people who remember
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: at one point we were told this isn't happening. They
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: keep moving the goal line on it. This isn't happening.
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: It happens in an insignificant amount of time. Big bureaucracies
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: are going to be, you know, there are going to
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: be people who fall through the cracks. Not sufficient to
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: change the election. Okay, maybe sufficient to change the election.
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: but we've already certified it, so kiss my.
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: And that's usually the devolution of their argument. It starts with,
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: that's not happening, to that's not happening a lot, to
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: that's not happening enough to change the election, to, okay,
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: but we've already certified it, so there's nothing we can do.
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: And one of the things you'll never hear is, here's
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: what we're going to do to make sure this doesn't
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: happen again. We'll go back to the electronic voting machines
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: that were told, oh, no, well, there's not even a
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: modem inside this. They can't go online until they were
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: discovered that they had a Bluetooth connection that did connect
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: them to a modem that was somewhere else. So they
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: were being truthy. So I love the phrase. I hate
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: the fact that it's connected to Stephen Colbert, but truthiness
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: is such a perfect description for what these people engage in.
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: They will say, there's no modem in the voting machine,
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: so it can't go online. And most Americans think, well, okay,
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: that sounds like, can I get another coffee, Marge? That
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: sounds reasonable to me. I guess I don't need to
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: worry about people Connecting to our voting machines from other places.
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: And then when it was caught, they said, well, that
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: was just so that we could download the data so
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: that we could have election results faster. Oh, my goodness.
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: It's like raising a 13-year-old. You said you were going
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: to be home at 11. Well, I started to come
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: home at 11, but the buses were late and the.
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: That's why I come up with the phrase, I love
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: the smell of facepalm in the morning. Because you do.
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: You just, you say, but it's always a lawyer and
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: it's always trying to find the truthiness. It's always, well,
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: we didn't do anything illegal. When we told you there
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: was no voter fraud, there was no proof of voter fraud.
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: There was insignificant proof of voter fraud. There was only
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: proof of an insignificant amount of voter fraud. The proof
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: of voter fraud doesn't change the election. Even if the
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: voter fraud did, we've already certified it, so it doesn't matter.
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: And that is your daisy chain of, especially in the
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: case of voter fraud, how the excuse machine works. And
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: it's always a lawyer. Who's vetted the, can't be charged
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: with anything. We can't, it can't be held. No, we
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: never told you that. You thought maybe you heard us
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: say you told us that, but we didn't actually tell
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: you that. So we can't be.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: We're not violating any laws.
• 33:47
  Speaker 14: Avoiding prosecution isn't the standard that I was shooting for.
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: But that's what you get. That's what you get. We
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: didn't tell you the truth, but we didn't tell you
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: a lie either. I was watching a comic the other day,
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: and his bit was testifying. Oh, it was Louis C.K.
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: Don't judge. Don't judge. I grew up with an awful
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: lot of people like Louis C.K., And he would say,
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: so why do I have to say I swear to
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: He's like, how many different kinds of truth are there?
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: But there are, and I hate to be pedantic about it.
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: And lawyers, if you ever have to give testimony, have
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: probably coached you, never answer more than the question was asked.
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: Do you know what time it is?
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: Tactical and legal avoidance is a skill. It's taught to
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: people when they're about to go testify in front of
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: either a representative body or a legal jury, grand jury,
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: jury of their peers. You're told, you know, don't answer
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: more than you're asked. Don't offer information. Even if in conversation,
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: somebody says to you, do you know what time it is?
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: You go, Oh, yeah, it's 541. That's not what you
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: were asked. You were asked if you knew what time
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: it was. Do you know President Trump? Yeah, I voted
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: for him. Well, no, that's not what you were asked.
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: You were asked, do you know of him? Do you
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: listen to the radio in the morning? Well, yeah, I
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: listened to First Thing Today with Joe Thompson. No, that's
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: not the question. The question is, do you? Yes, I do.
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: And that tactical avoidance of saying anything is maddening, and
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: it is one of the reasons that, truth be told,
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: every time somebody comes out and has a stack of
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: papers or a folder in their hands and they stand
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: behind a lectern, and you usually know it's coming if
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: they're standing behind a podium in front of microphones and cameras,
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: you know something is going to hurt in your backside
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: area Because once they get behind that podium, they're going
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: to start telling you about how they've done something that's
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: going to fix something for you. And what they really
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: should be saying is that they have done something that
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: will fix something so that they don't wind up getting
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: in trouble for something else later. All these laws, every
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: single one of these laws that are passed are replete
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: with loopholes that allow people who have hired their truthiness
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: consultants to duck out the back door. Well, I didn't
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: commit voter fraud because I don't know how old you are,
• 37:09
  Speaker 7: but I'm sure if you have any miles on your odometer,
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: you've been told this phrase, ignorance of the law is
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: no excuse. Now it is. Now lawyers use it all
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: the time because laws have become so intentionally opaque so
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: as to even know whether you're breaking the law or not.
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: Is immovable.
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: It really depends on how much you want to pay
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: for that lawyer. You got 50 bucks, you might go
• 37:47
  Speaker 7: to jail. Got 500 bucks an hour, you're probably going
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: to find the loophole. And this is where the legal
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: profession is afraid of artificial intelligence. You can search the
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: precedents now and maybe find them yourself.
• 38:02
  Speaker 14: Hi, it's Mark Falter, host of the Financial Fitness Show.
• 38:05
  Speaker 14: I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
• 38:08
  Speaker 14: penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately
• 38:13
  Speaker 14: for most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case.
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 38:17
  Speaker 14: Because most people spend more time planning next weekend's getaway
• 38:21
  Speaker 14: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less in taxes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 14: My financial fitness team has put together some materials that
• 38:27
  Speaker 14: I know are going to help you. It's the tax
• 38:29
  Speaker 14: savings kit. Tax savings kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
• 38:35
  Speaker 14: top 10 ways to pay less in taxes, and an
• 38:37
  Speaker 14: investor's guide to taxes. Now, how do you get it?
• 38:41
  Speaker 16: Simple.
• 38:42
  Speaker 20: 866-764-2635. Again, 866-764-2635.

  Speaker 14: I'm Mark Falter. This is Financial Fitness, making personal finance profitable.
• 39:02
  Speaker 12: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
• 39:05
  Speaker 12: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
• 39:07
  Speaker 12: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
• 39:10
  Speaker 12: and vulnerable. We found GetCCL.com. GetCCL.com gave us the help
• 39:16
  Speaker 12: we needed to apply for a legal concealed carry permit
• 39:19
  Speaker 12: that's recognized in over half of the country. GetCCL.com simplifies
• 39:24
  Speaker 12: the process to apply and it's all online. We used
• 39:27
  Speaker 12: their free qualification process to answer a few questions. and
• 39:30
  Speaker 12: applied for our permit right from home. Thanks to reciprocity
• 39:33
  Speaker 12: laws between states, when you're issued a New Hampshire concealed
• 39:36
  Speaker 12: carry permit, you can legally carry in any state that
• 39:39

  Speaker 15: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 15: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 15: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:13
  Speaker 16: Oh, yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 12: Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 15: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:20
  Speaker 15: favorite form of ear candy. Oh, my. Those bejeweled sprinkles
• 40:25
  Speaker 15: have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: Shhh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 15: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: And with every item.
• 40:39
  Speaker 15: You buy, you fund local job training and more. So

  Speaker 13: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 13: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 13: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 13: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 13: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 13: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 13: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 13: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 13: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 13: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41

  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35

• 44:31
  Speaker 5: But you might feel better if they gave you some
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: cash The more I think about it, old Billy was
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: right Let's kill all the lawyers, kill them tonight You
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: don't wanna work, you wanna live like a king But
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: the big bad world doesn't owe you a thing Get
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: over it, get over it If you don't wanna play,
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: then you might as well fit Get over it, get
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: over it.
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: A reminder, when Shakespeare wrote that scene, the speaker was
• 45:04
  Speaker 7: trying to bring on chaos so that he could take over.
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: So the idea of killing all the lawyers was in
• 45:13
  Speaker 7: order to take away your rights and protections. But there
• 45:23
  Speaker 7: are days where you grow frustrated because it seems like
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: the government full of lawyers is writing laws to create
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: more loopholes for people to hide misdeeds in. Well, I
• 45:38
  Speaker 7: wasn't breaking any laws by taking the money. It was just... And,
• 45:47
  Speaker 7: you know, it's fascinating. You watch grift become... as long
• 45:53
  Speaker 7: as you write something into the organizational document that allows
• 45:57
  Speaker 7: for the grift, then grift becomes legal. And the key
• 46:05
  Speaker 7: to this is they want you to vote in favor
• 46:10
  Speaker 7: of tossing the system out. They need you to vote
• 46:16
  Speaker 7: in favor of tossing the system out. They don't want
• 46:20
  Speaker 7: you to realize... that this is so far removed from what, quote,
• 46:24
  Speaker 7: the system is. So they know that there is a
• 46:30
  Speaker 7: pile of legislation built up on top of the US
• 46:34
  Speaker 7: Constitution and the Bill of Rights that makes our government
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: look like a hoarder house. We just keep piling stuff
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: in there. We brought it home from the store, Joe,
• 46:46
  Speaker 7: and I'm gonna put it right here. Well, where am
• 46:50
  Speaker 7: I going to sit now? You sit on top of it.
• 46:52
  Speaker 7: I don't care. We look like some of those houses
• 46:57
  Speaker 7: on the TV show, right? They're like, holy cow, how
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: do you let this happen? But that's what our government
• 47:05
  Speaker 7: looks like. We just keep bringing more legislation home from
• 47:11
  Speaker 7: the store or finding it on the side of the
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: road or wherever it comes from, and we just stick
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: it in our home. our country. We pile it up.
• 47:22
  Speaker 7: And what the people who want us to get rid
• 47:25
  Speaker 7: of the system want you to look at this, look
• 47:28
  Speaker 7: at this hoarder house and say, just burn it. I
• 47:35
  Speaker 7: don't want to try to clean it. Just burn it.
• 47:39
  Speaker 7: That's what they want you to do. And how many
• 47:41
  Speaker 7: times have you watched, and I know you've watched, everyone's
• 47:44
  Speaker 7: watched these hoarder shows just a little bit. It's a
• 47:48
  Speaker 7: guilty pleasure. You're And most of us do it for
• 47:52
  Speaker 7: some sort of self-affirmation. Be honest with me. I'm your buddy.
• 47:56
  Speaker 7: I'm your pal. It's just you and me talking here.
• 48:01
  Speaker 7: You've watched it so that you can look around your
• 48:04
  Speaker 7: house and go, I'm not that bad.
• 48:07
  Speaker 14: Wow.
• 48:08
  Speaker 7: I'm going to go clean the men's room. But that's
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: what our government has become. And they want it that way.
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: They want you to look at the American government and say,
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: just bulldoze it. I'll vote in favor of it. Democratically.
• 48:33
  Speaker 7: We watch every attempt on the Bill of Rights. Much
• 48:38
  Speaker 7: of the CHICOM-funded debate over data centers and flock cameras
• 48:42
  Speaker 7: is are about privacy in the Fourth and Third Amendments.
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: Little by little, we continue to be asked to vote
• 48:52
  Speaker 7: against these amendments. At some point, somebody's just going to
• 48:56
  Speaker 7: get the intestinal fortitude to say, you know what? These
• 49:00
  Speaker 7: restrictions on the government aren't helping keeping people safe. We
• 49:09
  Speaker 7: need a proactive list of rights that Americans expect from
• 49:13
  Speaker 7: their government. Look at what we talked about yesterday. At
• 49:15
  Speaker 7: the end of yesterday's program, there's a government... perception index
• 49:22
  Speaker 7: which tracks which governments are the most popular and which
• 49:26
  Speaker 7: governments are most reviled. Israel is the most reviled country
• 49:31
  Speaker 7: on the planet. America, the United States, finishes fifth behind Iran.
• 49:38
  Speaker 7: Iran is still more reviled on the world stage than
• 49:42
  Speaker 7: we are. I think Russia was in the top five
• 49:51
  Speaker 7: as well. But the top five most well-thought-of countries are
• 49:55
  Speaker 7: all these World Economic Forum enclaves like Sweden and Norway,
• 50:03
  Speaker 7: where we'll give you whatever you need You're not going
• 50:07
  Speaker 7: to have any rights to do anything free, but who cares?
• 50:11
  Speaker 7: You really need all that stuff. When was the last
• 50:14
  Speaker 7: time you needed free speech? You don't say anything controversial.
• 50:20
  Speaker 7: Do you really need somebody to protect your right to speak?
• 50:23
  Speaker 7: All you're doing is posting pictures of your lunch on Facebook.
• 50:28
  Speaker 7: You don't need free speech for that. We won't take
• 50:34
  Speaker 7: away your right to post your lunch pictures. provided you
• 50:38
  Speaker 7: buy the lunch that the Food and Drug Administration has
• 50:41
  Speaker 7: told you you should be buying.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: What?
• 50:46
  Speaker 7: No, you didn't hear me say that. No, no, no. No,
• 50:48
  Speaker 7: go ahead. You don't need the First Amendment to post
• 50:51
  Speaker 7: lunch pictures as long as you buy the lunch the
• 50:54
  Speaker 7: Food and Drug Administration tells you to buy.
• 50:57
  Speaker 9: What?
• 50:57
  Speaker 7: No, no, you didn't. No, I just... That was for
• 51:01
  Speaker 7: the lawyers. That was not for you to hear. I
• 51:04
  Speaker 7: was just explaining it to the to the lawyers that
• 51:06
  Speaker 7: you're going to need when we arrest you for posting
• 51:09
  Speaker 7: something that you shouldn't have been eating on Facebook. Would
• 51:14
  Speaker 7: they really do that? Do you need to write a
• 51:20
  Speaker 7: science fiction novel to think of a world where your
• 51:23
  Speaker 7: social credit score goes down if you post a picture
• 51:27
  Speaker 7: of a bunch of homegrown vegetables on a plate that
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: you've cooked up and have avoided purchasing anything cleared by
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: the U.S. Department of Agriculture in your grocery store. You
• 51:40
  Speaker 7: haven't engaged in any other commerce except for, I don't know,
• 51:44
  Speaker 7: buying the seeds and buying the soil and buying the
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: tools to make the soil arable. And then you post
• 51:56
  Speaker 7: a picture, look, the chickens that I pay to feed
• 52:01
  Speaker 7: have made eggs, and now I'm eating the eggs on
• 52:03
  Speaker 7: some sauteed vegetables along with them. I don't know. You
• 52:07
  Speaker 7: haven't bought any of that from USDA subsidized businesses. We're
• 52:13
  Speaker 7: going to knock down your social credit score. But I
• 52:16
  Speaker 7: have free speech rights. No, you have the right to
• 52:19
  Speaker 7: go on Facebook. We have the right to punish you
• 52:22
  Speaker 7: if you go on Facebook and say wrong thing. I mean,
• 52:26
  Speaker 7: things that we did. That sounds too Orwellian. Don't use
• 52:29
  Speaker 7: that word. People still know who the hell Orwell was.
• 52:36
  Speaker 7: Has Pfizer finished the Soma trials yet? It's a Brave
• 52:43
  Speaker 7: New World reference, in case you hadn't read it. No,
• 52:48
  Speaker 7: you don't need the Bill of Rights, but it's still there.
• 52:50
  Speaker 7: Let's go get it out.
• 52:51
  Speaker 19: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:54
  Speaker 19: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 18: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
• 52:59
  Speaker 18: was no hassles.
• 53:00
  Speaker 16: There was no problem.

  Speaker 19: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:05

• 53:11
  Speaker 21: share each other's medical expenses.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 53:20
  Speaker 21: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old.
• 53:25
  Speaker 21: And members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
• 53:27
  Speaker 21: medical bills.
• 53:28
  Speaker 9: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 53:30
