• 0:05
  Speaker 2: From Joe Thomas. It's first thing today, jew Ward said.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Steal me.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: The climate crisis is killing these for work. When the
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: sun comes up, drops a pet to scoop.

  Speaker 1: With John Kerry too, apparently that are now running around
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: saying the death, the tragic death of these eight skiers
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: in Lake Tahoe, is because of climate change, even though
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: just four days earlier, the Denver Post published and expose
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: saying skiing was going away because of climate change because
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: there wasn't enough skiing areas. Maybe they'll come up with
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: some scenario in which they say that they had to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: go skiing in this extreme locale. I don't know, because
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: because of climate change, somehow it will be the fault
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: of your internal combustion engine. At some point or another.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: It's always going to be your fault. I guess we've
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: just come to learn to accept that we can't even
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: call it gas lighting anymore because that would infer using
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: a carbon derivative. There at four three, four eight eight,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: two four to two one seven emails come into JT
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: in the Morning Radio at gmail dot com. Charles says,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: if the Iranians we were talking about Iran earlier and

• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Now they've blockaded the straits of Hormuz, Russia's now they're
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: participating in their live fire exercises. No, they're not blockading
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the straits of Hormuz. No, they said they aren't. If
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the Iranians hold elections, will they have to show an
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: ID to vote. That's like see see that's a guy
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: who's playing along at home. Thank you, Charles. I appreciate
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: that one text messages this one. Oh it's a longer
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: story about a man sexual assault. Oh look, somebody the administration,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Biden administration let go and now they're assaulting people again.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: It couldn't figure that, Joel writing in we the people
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: have been battling a satanic government. Well, I was saying
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: at the end of the last segment, is that the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: government in and of itself has this inertia that we're
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: trying to beat back on our First Things this Thursday morning.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: California and a dozen other states Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Oregon
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: all with affiliates to First Thing Today, So call your legislators,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: along with New Jersey, New York, and Washington State are
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: suing to get their money back. Hands off my handouts,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I think is the march that used to be held
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: outside of Tesla dealers. They want their clean energy product
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: grant money back. Meanwhile, a coalition of health and environmental
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: groups havebsued the EPA, challenging the rescinding of the endangerment
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: filing that gave blanket authority to whatever they decide were
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: greenhouse gases to make them for boten. A new poll
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: by the Associated Press and the Nork Polling Group says
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: that six point seven out of every ten Democrats don't
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: like their party or do like their party. It's the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: other but they say that's the lowest number of favorability
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party has had amongst Democrats, and it fell
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to that record low after the election re election of
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Steve Hilton is running second in the California
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: governor's race. He's the first human. He has seventeen percent
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: support according to a poll on by Emerson College, Leading
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the charge, who I would love to see when the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: governor's race in California is none of the above or undecided,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you choose. Twenty one percent of voters are undecided in
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the field leading the charge, and I think that's just
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a great way to do it. Seventeen percent for Hilton
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: than Eric Swallwell. Fourteen percent of of Chinese Communist Party
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: agents in California say they support Swalwell, while GOP sheriff
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Chad Bianco also has fourteen percent. Katie Porter has ten
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: nine percent for Climate fundraiser Tom Steyer, This will shock you.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: A state commissioned review of Minnesota's medicaid program says it
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: could be at risk of massive fraud as well, I'll
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: give you a moment to pull your vehicle back on
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the road. I know it can be shocking to hear

  Speaker 1: weaknesses allowed questionable billing to go undetected. Meanwhile, Cash Patel says,
• 5:42

• 5:47
  Speaker 1: didn't announce who it was yet, but he does know
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: where antifa's money is coming from. And those are some
• 5:54

• 8:13
  Speaker 5: am Doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our

  Speaker 5: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and

• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Writes in listening to us, uh, there's a k h
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: F I or k h I in Sacramento, he says,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: He says, what a great idea. Let's vote none of
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the above. Where did you come up with that one?
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: It's actually I stole that one. That's a I'd love
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: to claim credit for that. And I'm not sure it's
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the first time, but it's the first time I ever read.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: The concept of none of the above winning an election
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: was in a book called The Probability Broach by an
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: author I believe he's stile alive.
• 13:57
  Speaker 13: He was.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: He was in Colorad. You know, the book takes place,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the book series takes place in Denver, but said, his
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: name is l. Neil Smith, and we were just doing
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: a promo for Freedom Fest and he used to come
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: to Freedom Fest a lot, very libertarian guy. The book
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: is about a parallel universe where the Whiskey Rebellion was
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: successful and overthrew George Washington's government and inserted basically a
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: libertarian government in its place, and all the great amazing
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: things that transpired after that. But that was the first
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: place that there's a detective. Just not to bore you
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: with a synopsis, but there's a detective trying to chase
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: a bad guy, and he winds up chasing him through
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: this portal in between the two universes. Apparently this bad
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: guy is hiding in this utopia, libertarian utopia version of
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the United States, and this detective from our world is
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: being shown the capital, which is in the geographic center
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: of the United States. It's it's you know, far away
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: from the east and the west, and there's no running
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: water or electricity in the town because they want the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: people in government to want to leave as quickly as
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: they can. So they come and they vote for on stuff,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: and then they leave. But he's walking through the halls
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: of the government building, and there's these pictures of all
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: these presidents, and this libertarian world had had Jefferson, it
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: had Lincoln, it had Kennedy, and then it had a
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: bunch of blank frames. And the detective I forget his name,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: but the character says, what's with the blank picture frames?
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: And the guide says, look down below, and it says
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: none of the above. And that's where the concept has
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: always struck me, that we should be able, we should
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: be given the choice of none of the above in
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: our congressional and our local state races. I tease our
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: friend Lawrence, who once ran for Congress from the Democratic
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Party here in Central Virginia, and in the convention that
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: he was given the nomination, he was first on the ballot,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and there was another fellow running for the nomination. He
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: finished third behind none of the above. None of the
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: above actually finished second in that race, and I always
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: tease him about, well, you know, you had that tough
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: primary struggle to beat none of the above for the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Democratic nomination here in Central Virginia. But that's where the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: idea came from. So I appreciate you listening out there
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: in California. But that race right now, you know, all oh,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: and it's because a Republican is leading, and that's why
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: it's a headline. But technically none of the above slash
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: undecided is leading in the California governor's race, which I
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: think would be an up I think it would be
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: an upsell from Gavin Newsom, don't you? I mean you
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: tell me. Doctor Clark is on the line with a question.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: On our interview, we had Susan Libel from the Susan
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: b Anthony Pro Life group about this New Orleans, this
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Louisiana girl that was coerced into an abortion, and Pam
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Bondi at al said, you don't have standing to bring
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the case.
• 17:38
  Speaker 14: With regards to the mailan abortion stuff. Yeah, the left
• 17:43
  Speaker 14: has had great success through law fair and if we
• 17:49
  Speaker 14: refuse to play by the same rule as we're going
• 17:51
  Speaker 14: to keep losing. How many bakers did they have to.
• 17:55
  Speaker 13: Go to until they got the case they could take.
• 17:58
  Speaker 14: The court probably since yes, a baker's, doesn't you think?
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: So?
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, Joe, there.
• 18:08
  Speaker 14: Need to be some lawsuits about damages from the mainland
• 18:12
  Speaker 14: abortion tills.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: But that was sort of the story started with this
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: girl from Louisiana was told by the Department of Justice
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: she didn't have standing to sue the FDA over the
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: availability of MiFi pristone in her state that considers it
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: a controlled substance and his banned abortion. She ordered it
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: from some California doctor and she was She brought it
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: and the Department of Justice said, sorry, you don't have standing.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you need to have standing, But if.
• 18:46
  Speaker 14: Is that the current Department of Justice, No, that's currents Well,
• 18:51
  Speaker 14: you know that's a red.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Flag if you if you want one, we.
• 18:55
  Speaker 14: Need another eighteen year old a shotgun headed to the DJ.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Then doctor Clark doesn't mean that. He means that rhetorically. Well,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: all right, I say you mean that rhetorically to keep
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: me from getting the phone call saying doctor Clark is yes, suborning,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: you know, insurrection.
• 19:15
  Speaker 14: And definitely with the fox. What is your name, Barian
• 19:21
  Speaker 14: the young lady that sued in New York and got
• 19:23
  Speaker 14: two million dollars for transgender Yes, yes, from the surgeon
• 19:28
  Speaker 14: and the psychiatrists. There need to be lawsuits where the
• 19:35
  Speaker 14: families of victims and mass shootings sue the psychiatrists and

  Speaker 14: surgeons of the transgender people.
• 19:42
  Speaker 13: That do this.
• 19:43
  Speaker 14: Joe, there used to be a product called windstraw. It
• 19:47
  Speaker 14: was an anabolic steroid. Okay, Okay, Now you could have
• 19:53
  Speaker 14: a very sick dog or cat that had a protein
• 19:58
  Speaker 14: losing Mary loan of prophecy. That's real thing, not something
• 20:01
  Speaker 14: Mary Poppin's taught little children to say. Or the inability
• 20:05
  Speaker 14: to synthesize proteins. I could add six months quality of life.
• 20:10
  Speaker 14: I couldn't add six months of life, but I could
• 20:12
  Speaker 14: make the last six months a lot better because they
• 20:14
  Speaker 14: were able to synthesize protein better. Okay, that product is
• 20:19
  Speaker 14: no longer available to me because Upjohn was so afraid
• 20:27
  Speaker 14: of roid rage lawsuits. Oh, they said, you know, the
• 20:32
  Speaker 14: money we make from this.
• 20:35
  Speaker 13: Potential liability.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I appreciate, you know, and liability. I am queasy because
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: we watch folks who want to go after the gun
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: manufacturers and now the gun sellers for liability if somebody
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: does something with your gun. And I still, you know,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I just I feel like there is a place now
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: when you're talking about mental health. We have so many
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: miles to go to get this into a place where
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: we can even have a conversation where reality exists. Because
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Willowbrook Sanitarium still exists in the zeitgeist, because one flew
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Over the Cuckoo's Nest still exists in the zeitgeist. But
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: these were state mental health institutions. I think there's a

  Speaker 1: Bob and Virginia says, you know, my idea of constitutional
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: representation would lead to more jerrymanderin. I don't know how.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, certainly you would have more districts, but they'd
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: be very small, and you wouldn't you know, it'd be
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: much easier to draw them. Maybe I'll look.

  Speaker 5: Actually three known gas is hi. I'm doctor Mitch, and
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
• 22:16

  Speaker 5: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our

  Speaker 5: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any

• 24:31
  Speaker 5: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

  Speaker 1: On this Thursday morning, emails come into JT in the

  Speaker 1: Morning Radio at gmail dot com. First Thing Today, and
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: in case you didn't know, February is Pediatric Dental Health Month,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: and to talk a little bit about what's going on.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: And I want some credit. I want some credit for
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: dealing with my performance anxiety here because I never liked
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: going to the dentist when I was a kid. Uh,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: and I think I'm having some flashbacks to that doctor.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Thomas Eisen Uh is on with us at Donter eisen
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: How are you, sir, Jude?
• 29:03
  Speaker 20: And I'm sorry to hear that you're having flashbacks, but
• 29:07
  Speaker 20: as a pediatric gainists. We just like to have fun
• 29:09
  Speaker 20: and as they say, it's mere child's plate, so we'll have.
• 29:12
  Speaker 13: A good time.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and it is a
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: different science than adult dentistry. You're dealing with often, you know,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: you're obviously dealing with the preliminary teeth and that kind
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: of thing. What are you seeing? Are we getting better?
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, I remember when I was a kid, I
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: always was afraid of coming back with a cavity here
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: or there. Are we getting better at fighting cavities in
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: our kids?
• 29:41
  Speaker 20: You know, Joe, We're getting a little better. But cavities
• 29:44
  Speaker 20: are still the number one most chronic childhood disease. It
• 29:48
  Speaker 20: is more common five times more than asthma, and so
• 29:52
  Speaker 20: that's one that most people think of. But dental carries
• 29:54
  Speaker 20: is the most prevalent dental disease or most prevalent disease
• 29:58
  Speaker 20: for children.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, So when when you look at what's going on,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: you know, with the prevalence of this, is it habits,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: is it technology? Is it a little bit of both?
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: What is bringing this on? What is uh and what
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: can be done to you know, do a better job
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: of keeping kids teeth healthy?
• 30:23
  Speaker 20: Sure, so, cavities are a totally preventable disease. We know
• 30:28
  Speaker 20: that if we can get a child into their pediatric
• 30:31
  Speaker 20: dental office, and the American Academy of Pediatric Industry recommends
• 30:35
  Speaker 20: having that first dill visit by the age one birthday,
• 30:39
  Speaker 20: we know if we see a child when the teeth
• 30:41
  Speaker 20: are healthy, we can help the parents establish healthy habits
• 30:44
  Speaker 20: and prevent that child from having cavities and to have
• 30:47
  Speaker 20: a long term healthy mouth.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: And again, I you know, so is it habits? Do
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: we need to have better habits? Flossing, brushing your bright
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: kind of toothbrushes? I see the TV adds all the
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: time saying use this one, use that one, use the
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: other thing. You know, what is it? A kid needs
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: to do better at when it comes to taking care
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: of their teeth.
• 31:15
  Speaker 20: So let's just begin with the basics. You know, to
• 31:18
  Speaker 20: have healthy teeth, we have to have nice clean teeth,
• 31:20
  Speaker 20: and that means brushing the teeth. We want to use
• 31:23
  Speaker 20: a soft toothbrush, and we want to have the parents
• 31:25
  Speaker 20: brushing the children's teeth twice a day, once in the morning,
• 31:29
  Speaker 20: once at bedtime for two minutes each right, and that
• 31:33
  Speaker 20: will remove the food and plack off the teeth and
• 31:35
  Speaker 20: help keep the teeth healthy. And then we also at
• 31:37
  Speaker 20: least once a day want to floss in between the
• 31:39
  Speaker 20: teeth because that cleans the spaces in between that the
• 31:42
  Speaker 20: toothbrush can't reach. Then the second thing that we have
• 31:46
  Speaker 20: to do is we need to look at what the
• 31:48
  Speaker 20: child is eating and drinking. The dietis wide also affects cavities.
• 31:52
  Speaker 20: Germs in the mouth, takes takes sugars and carbs and
• 31:56
  Speaker 20: foods that we eat and drink, and it turns that
• 31:58
  Speaker 20: into acid. And that acid sitting on the teeth is
• 32:01
  Speaker 20: what eats away the tooth and causes the whole or
• 32:04
  Speaker 20: the cavity. So parents need to choose good, healthy snacks,
• 32:07
  Speaker 20: think of whole fruit and cheese as snacks, and start
• 32:11
  Speaker 20: avoiding juices and things that have lots of sugar added
• 32:15
  Speaker 20: to them, such as fruit roll ups or maybe even
• 32:18
  Speaker 20: granola bars. Those things tend to be high in sugar.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: That's interesting, I never heard anyone talk about it that way,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: is that the sugar is causing the cavities because of
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: the acids that they create in the mouth. Are there
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: other things? And when you talk about whole foods, obviously
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: you know, snacks, little veggie slices, things like that, et cetera.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: There does that continue into adulthood? Doctor Eyesin absolutely, we.
• 32:48
  Speaker 20: Know that if you have cavities in childhood, you are
• 32:51
  Speaker 20: much more likely to have cavities in adulthood. So if
• 32:54
  Speaker 20: we can prevent that and establish as good oral health
• 32:56
  Speaker 20: habits early in life, that's a long term benefit to you.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: I'm curious, and I know it's it may be controversial,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: and if it is, please just say that's more controversial
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: than I feel like talking about this morning. But the
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Department of Health and Human Services has started a research
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: project into fluoride in the water. Many of the communities
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: around here in Central Virginia have taken the fluoride out
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: of their municipal drinking water. Is that something that we
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: thought was a good idea but didn't turn out to
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: be as good as the possible challenges that created?
• 33:38
  Speaker 20: Well, I have serious concerns about removal of fluoride from
• 33:41
  Speaker 20: community water. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry believes that
• 33:45
  Speaker 20: community water fluoridation is both safe and beneficial. Okay, fluoride
• 33:51
  Speaker 20: Fluoride is the single most cost effective manner of preventing cavities.
• 33:56
  Speaker 20: And we know that through early and long term use
• 33:58
  Speaker 20: of fluoride, we can reduce dental costs by up to
• 34:02
  Speaker 20: fifty percent.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Wow, I didn't realize that much. Now. Is it getting
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: it through the water, because I know most of the
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: toothpaste have fluoride in them. Is it both combined? Is
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: one sufficient if you don't have florid in the water,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: but you're brushing with fluoridated toothpaste. Is that okay? You know,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: because there are a lot of people now living in
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: communities without it.
• 34:29
  Speaker 20: Sure, so we know that having it in your community
• 34:34
  Speaker 20: water is affects everybody across the spectrum. They have that benefit.
• 34:39
  Speaker 20: Not everybody may have access to toothpaste, but we do
• 34:42
  Speaker 20: recommend using a fluoridated toothpaste and we want to, as
• 34:46
  Speaker 20: I said, use that twice a day. If you're living
• 34:49
  Speaker 20: in an area that doesn't have fluoridated water, then your
• 34:53
  Speaker 20: child is going to be at greater risk and you
• 34:55
  Speaker 20: need to have a discussion with your pediatric dentists about
• 34:58
  Speaker 20: other methods of obtaining flow right to help keep those
• 35:01
  Speaker 20: teeth nice and strong. You know, obviously you're used to
• 35:04
  Speaker 20: that fluoride application in the dental office where the dentist
• 35:08
  Speaker 20: applies that to the teeth, and we have lots of
• 35:11
  Speaker 20: new products that are out there that have different flavors,
• 35:14
  Speaker 20: different tastes, and it's really an enjoyable experience.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, doctor Aison, I appreciate your visit with us with
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry taking a look at
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: it and this whole month. What kind of stuff is
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: going on this month to draw attention to the issue.
• 35:32
  Speaker 20: But you know, we're doing things like this where we're
• 35:35
  Speaker 20: getting out and trying to communicate to the public and
• 35:39
  Speaker 20: to focus that interest on children's dental health and encouraging
• 35:43
  Speaker 20: people to take their child to the dentist, get them
• 35:45
  Speaker 20: in and be seen before they have problems. If you
• 35:49
  Speaker 20: wait until the child is having pain or discomfort to
• 35:51
  Speaker 20: get into the office, then it's a much more complicated procedure.
• 35:55
  Speaker 20: No towns of prevent is worth a pound of cure
• 35:58
  Speaker 20: and you know, a total lge of information at you.
• 36:01
  Speaker 20: But if you're looking for additional information, I recommend the
• 36:04
  Speaker 20: AAPD website my Children's Teeth dot org. Okay, that is
• 36:09
  Speaker 20: my Children's Teeth dot org.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Well, doctor Eisen, thank you so much for your visit
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: this morning and happy pediatric dentists a month and to
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: enjoy the celebrations.
• 36:20
  Speaker 20: Absolutely, we'll be celebrating all that long.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Four three, four eight eight two four two one seven.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: That is the phone number of emails coming to JT
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: in the Morning Radio at gmail dot com. Who that's
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: a big question. Bob in Virginia is texting me his
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: thoughts on a constitutional size of government. I'm p I
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: presume he listened to our discussion with Mark Meckler from
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: the Convention of States Project. I still, you know, and
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: I've got to go through some of his points. It's
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: flowing out. He's you know, it's like he's a lawyer
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: or something. Then uh, this Andy, right, it's in ranked
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: choice voting an interesting idea. No, no, it's not. But
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: what they do in California is sort of like an
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: everybody up on the pool table things. So it's not
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: really ranked choice voting. It's runoff voting, and that one's
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: not I mean, they do it New Orleans, Louisiana as well,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: where everyone everyone's on the ballot the first pass and
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: then if nobody gets to fifty percent, then they drop
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: off the bottom of it. It's sort of like the
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: way if you ever went to a nominating convention, they
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: do it. And the problem was COVID forced the Republican
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Party of Virginia to adopt a type of ranked choice
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: voting so that the votes could be counted in the
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: way you would count a convention, where after the first
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: ballot you would get everyone back and you'd vote again.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: You couldn't necessarily do that, but it was open the door.

  Speaker 21: At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
• 38:04
  Speaker 21: problems in their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 13: For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 21: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  Speaker 21: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
• 38:14
  Speaker 21: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
• 38:17
  Speaker 21: Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
• 38:20
  Speaker 21: seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.
• 38:24
  Speaker 21: Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in
• 38:27
  Speaker 21: particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of
• 38:30
  Speaker 21: your diesel particulate filter. Using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three
• 38:34
  Speaker 21: percent less DPF regenerations. The six and one Diesel Extreme
• 38:39
  Speaker 21: formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on the market,
• 38:43
  Speaker 21: lubricity enhancer, water demulsifier, rust and corrosion inhibitors, and a
• 38:48
  Speaker 21: fuel stabilizer.

• 41:03
  Speaker 19: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 19: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.

• 41:24
  Speaker 19: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  Speaker 19: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

  Speaker 2: Quit for you. From Joe Thomas it's first thing today.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Is this a sovereignation.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Or just opposing state?
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: You met the out people or gets too? How do
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: you silence people if the law isn't on your side.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: You make it untenable for them to speak, because if
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: they speak, they'll be misquoted, they'll be miss uh memorialized.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Uh there, and there are epithets that are thrown around
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: are We were just talking about the guy on the
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: newsmaker's line with us earlier, I think about an hour
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: hour and a half ago. He is the host of
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: the documentary that's never been published yet. Exile now member
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: the Virginia General Assembly, the same assembly that was being
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: scolded by Patrick Henry. And I bring up Patrick Henry
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: because I don't believe since Patrick Henry scolded the Virginia
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: General Assembly and has given me liberty or give me
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: death speech, have they been scolded by somebody as eloquent
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: as Tom Garrett. Millions upon millions of views have been
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: watching his for speech from all around the country saying gosh,
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: where are our delegates like that? Tom'm good to hear
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: from you again, my friend, how are you doing?
• 45:32
  Speaker 13: Last?
• 45:34
  Speaker 16: So backstory is that I'm an alcoholic sober for eight years,
• 45:39
  Speaker 16: by the grace of God, period full stop. I served
• 45:42
  Speaker 16: in Congress and the State Senate, and I didn't touch
• 45:45
  Speaker 16: as many people in either of those offices as I
• 45:48
  Speaker 16: have in the last two weeks in the Virginia House
• 45:50
  Speaker 16: of Delegates. So that's got to be God. But here's
• 45:54
  Speaker 16: where I am. I've failed so much that I am
• 45:57
  Speaker 16: no longer afraid to fail. And I know, no matter
• 46:00
  Speaker 16: what they do to me, if they Charlie Kirk me,
• 46:03
  Speaker 16: that I know where I'm going. And so I am
• 46:05
  Speaker 16: absolutely positively fearless because what do I have to fear?
• 46:09
  Speaker 16: And I have decided that the only way to defeat
• 46:12
  Speaker 16: the lies of the left is to tell the truth
• 46:14
  Speaker 16: as boldly as they lie.
• 46:16
  Speaker 13: Now they have silence studs.
• 46:18
  Speaker 16: It is so terrifying that members aren't willing to say
• 46:22
  Speaker 16: things that are patently true, like I don't know boys
• 46:24
  Speaker 16: can't have babies, right, I'm not afraid to say that
• 46:28
  Speaker 16: because it's true. Right, So, and that's the threshold lie.
• 46:32
  Speaker 16: By the way, we don't have enough time for this.
• 46:33
  Speaker 16: Once they get you to say that out loud, that gotcha,
• 46:36
  Speaker 16: and it's over. You'll accept anything. So here's where we are.
• 46:40
  Speaker 16: I was just dissecting the phrase Christian nationalists after the
• 46:44
  Speaker 16: latest darling of the left who's running out for Congress
• 46:48
  Speaker 16: out in Texas, was on like Colberic and was talking
• 46:50
  Speaker 16: about Christian nationalists.
• 46:52
  Speaker 13: I am curious, right.
• 46:54
  Speaker 16: I know they hate patriotism and I know they hate Christians,
• 46:58
  Speaker 16: so they got the two for here by controlling the lexicon.
• 47:01
  Speaker 16: No Republican will talk about Christian nationalism because they don't
• 47:04
  Speaker 16: want to be called one.
• 47:05
  Speaker 13: Call me whatever you want. I want to know.
• 47:07
  Speaker 16: Am I allowed to be a Christian but not love
• 47:09
  Speaker 16: my country? Or am I allowed to love my country
• 47:12
  Speaker 16: but not be a Christian? Because if I do both,
• 47:14
  Speaker 16: somehow I'm bad?
• 47:15
  Speaker 13: Right? And if you say I'm a nationalist, they.
• 47:18
  Speaker 16: Go because they control the lexicon, and they control the
• 47:23
  Speaker 16: lexicon because we allow them to.
• 47:25
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and I'm done with it, right. I mean.
• 47:31
  Speaker 16: You can imagine God knows the truth. I know the truth,
• 47:34
  Speaker 16: and maybe one other person and God will sort it
• 47:36
  Speaker 16: all out, not me. So here we go, guys. We
• 47:39
  Speaker 16: must tell the truth as boldly as they lie. You
• 47:42
  Speaker 16: meet them with love, not hate, and you tell them
• 47:45
  Speaker 16: I'm sorry if you disagree with me, but this is
• 47:47
  Speaker 16: what I believe to be true, and it's not bad.
• 47:50
  Speaker 16: If you love God and America, that is a virtue
• 47:54
  Speaker 16: times two, not a sin. So if somebody needs to
• 47:58
  Speaker 16: say it, Joe, you say this sort of thing, I
• 48:00
  Speaker 16: think that that the city elders are saying that. I
• 48:02
  Speaker 16: hope that you get City Elders chapters all across America
• 48:05
  Speaker 16: based on this stuff that's being said on your show.
• 48:07
  Speaker 13: I hope so too.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: What part of it is because they don't want moral people.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: They want a moral people, people who think that if
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: we get a vote, we can change what morality is. Ah,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: we all voted Thursday night on on those moral codes
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: are yours? And we've changed a few of them because
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: they just don't work well.
• 48:28
  Speaker 16: Moral relativism, it's an oxymoron because morality isn't relative.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Right. But here's the thing about national and I always
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: love it when they throw the word nationalist around, Well,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: tell me what nation are you speaking If you're speaking
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: of a nation you found it And defending a bill
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: of rights that defends my right to speak, to gather
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: with who I want, to own property, to be defended
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: in court publicly, to have my vote defended, to have
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: my property defended, then I'm all for that nation. If
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: you're talking about it tyrannical regime that hides rest people
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: and throws them in jail for the rest of their
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: lives or or for five years without ever giving them
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: a trial. I'm against that nation. You know, you have
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: to define what your nation is. This is why I
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: get in trouble about the Second Amendment. You know, if
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: somebody asked me earlier, what do we have to do
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: to support the Iranian uprising? I said, the Second Amendment.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: You know, make sure they all have guns, and then
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: the Iranian you know, secret police won't be the only
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: ones armed. It's the reason we have the Second Amendment.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you can't do that. And I think
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: I've I've faced the same kind of rebuke you have. Tom.
• 49:41
  Speaker 13: Yeah, well, but let him rebuke you.
• 49:42
  Speaker 16: Right, you can judge a man as well by his
• 49:44
  Speaker 16: enemies as his friends.
• 49:45
  Speaker 13: Set my late father. So listen, I'm gonna do the
• 49:49
  Speaker 13: shameless plug. Can you hear me?
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 49:53
  Speaker 16: Yeah, I'll do the shameless plug. Dell get Tom Garrett
• 49:56
  Speaker 16: on Facebook. Please follow delt Garrett on Twitter. Please follow.
• 50:01
  Speaker 13: We got a.
• 50:01

  Speaker 16: do you do you or someone.
• 50:06
  Speaker 13: You know suffer from U O I U I can no.
• 50:10
  Speaker 13: I'll just I'm not gonna ruin it.
• 50:11
  Speaker 16: UI is useful idiocy, and we're gonna tell people how
• 50:14
  Speaker 16: they can cure UI in themselves or people that they know.
• 50:19
  Speaker 16: The whole theory is that in order to win hearts
• 50:20
  Speaker 16: and minds, you got to get eyes and ears, guys,
• 50:22
  Speaker 16: So you need to follow W. T On and Joe
• 50:24
  Speaker 16: Thomas Again, I'd be grateful if you'd follow Delegate Tom
• 50:28
  Speaker 16: Garrett on Facebook and Delty Garrett on Twitter. My personal
• 50:31
  Speaker 16: YouTube is Tom drops Poms on YouTube. That one's still
• 50:34
  Speaker 16: sort of under construction. But we will band together and
• 50:37
  Speaker 16: if we tell the truth as boldly as they lie,
• 50:41
  Speaker 16: then we can save America. And if we don't, that's
• 50:44
  Speaker 16: okay too. I know how this ends. I'm I'm confident
• 50:47
  Speaker 16: in where I'm going, despite the fact that i'm, you know,
• 50:50
  Speaker 16: a horrible fallen center. God loves me and I'm doing
• 50:53
  Speaker 16: everything I can to amplify and glorifying work for him.
• 50:56
  Speaker 16: And so despite myself, like King David who had a
• 50:59
  Speaker 16: man murdered so he could have his wife, or the
• 51:02
  Speaker 16: Apostle Paul, who was the chief persecutor and then became
• 51:05
  Speaker 16: the author of the last two thirds of the Bible.
• 51:08
  Speaker 16: You know, I mean, this is an awesome God I
• 51:10
  Speaker 16: serve and with him I am absolutely fearless, and you.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Should be too, well, you know, amen, I feel like
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: it's the only thing left to say, and the most
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: important thing is this is exactly what Andrew Breitbart was
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: pushing before Steve Bannon got him pushed out at Breitbart.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: This is upstream from politics. This is culture. This is
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: right and wrong is different than legal and illegal. Am
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: I am I overstating burg?
• 51:38
  Speaker 16: This is Edmund Burgh right, all that is necessary for
• 51:41
  Speaker 16: evil to triumph. And they've towed us, they have cowed
• 51:45
  Speaker 16: us into silence. I'm not a transphobe. I'm not an islamophobe.
• 51:49
  Speaker 16: I love my neighbor, period full stop. But I will
• 51:53
  Speaker 16: not cease in saying that which I believe is right
• 51:56
  Speaker 16: and working to help human beings red and yellow, black
• 51:59
  Speaker 16: and white, of all fates whatever. I love them. But
• 52:02
  Speaker 16: but me lying or remaining silence doesn't help them.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Well, you said that in one of your floor speeches.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: Is that, and I think you've said it on this
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: program as well. The left has no problem lying, and
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: the right has you know too much fear to tell
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: the truth.
• 52:17
  Speaker 13: Not me.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well you know that you win.
• 52:22
  Speaker 16: They're gonna I'm gonna get accused of something in the
• 52:24
  Speaker 16: next six months because we're kicking too much butt.
• 52:26
  Speaker 13: But God will get me through that too. Amen, not
• 52:29
  Speaker 13: afraid of this anymore. I'm not afraid of this anymore.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll post the links as well on our social media.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Bless you, sir, you have a great Thursday.
• 52:38
  Speaker 16: Joe, God bless you for everything you do. I'm so
• 52:40
  Speaker 16: delighted and grateful. You're my friend.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Amen to that brother, you and me both and for you.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: Thank you for listening until tomorrow morning. I am Joe Thomas,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: so long and thanks for all the fish.

  Speaker 22: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
• 52:54
  Speaker 22: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
