"Fruit Trees" (Saturday, May 23, 2026, Hour 2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:10
Speaker 1: Making mornings great again. The first thing today on the
0:13
Speaker 1: tunk Media Apple Thomas we'll do it line.
0:17
Speaker 2: George said, steal me step every day at least for work.
0:23
Speaker 3: When the sun comes up, drops a kid.
0:25
Speaker 4: To scook the way. I think Joe has everything, a dreamer,
0:30
Speaker 4: all the.
0:30
Speaker 3: Treasures out and needs no one that Joe's smiled. He
0:35
Speaker 3: on the eggs be.
0:40
Speaker 5: Joe, thank you for letting us be of service to
0:43
Speaker 5: you in our small way. He's trying to remind us
0:49
Speaker 5: to be the country that all the men and women
0:52
Speaker 5: gave up their lives for on this and I don't
0:55
Speaker 5: mean to be pedantic about it. I think it is
0:58
Speaker 5: a real daily mission to remind ourselves because so easily
1:07
Speaker 5: we can have the things that are the fruit of America.
1:12
Speaker 5: I was drawing this illusion earlier before we went to
1:15
Speaker 5: the news, like a pick of fruit. Well, I'm gonna
1:19
Speaker 5: go with apple, because America, the United States of America,
1:25
Speaker 5: is an apple tree that has been bearing some marvelous
1:29
Speaker 5: and remarkable fruit, and fruit that people have come from
1:32
Speaker 5: around the world to enjoy. And we've become so busy
1:39
Speaker 5: enjoying the fruit of this apple tree that we've forgotten
1:44
Speaker 5: to tend to the apple tree, and I have an example.
1:53
Speaker 5: I don't want to belabor it right now because we
1:55
Speaker 5: have to get our first things. We can't discuss the
1:57
Speaker 5: news of the day on this Saturday morning without our
2:00
Speaker 5: first things. But a dear friend and a terrific businessman,
2:06
Speaker 5: but wrong to a degree, and I thought he was
2:09
Speaker 5: going to be wronger than he was, but it actually
2:12
Speaker 5: pulled the right answer out of the end. Chris Ruddy,
2:17
Speaker 5: who put together and runs Newsmax, great piece. There. We'll
2:22
Speaker 5: get into the changes at the office of the DNI,
2:26
Speaker 5: Telsy Gabbard stepping down. It's amazing to me how they
2:31
Speaker 5: can claim, oh, no, we're just not never Trump first. No, no,
2:35
Speaker 5: that's not us. We don't just hate Trump for the
2:37
Speaker 5: sake of Hay. Yet everything is about all Look, another
2:42
Speaker 5: person quit the Trump administration, as if this had anything
2:46
Speaker 5: to do with Donald Trump. Her husband has bone cancer
2:53
Speaker 5: and she's and trust me, I watched my wife turn
2:58
Speaker 5: into just a Marie Cordrille sergeant as she cared for
3:02
Speaker 5: me through my lymphoma. I can only imagine what a
3:06
Speaker 5: bone cancer diagnosis means. But the Gabbard's working on that.
3:12
Speaker 5: But somehow this is just proof that Trump's a loser again,
3:15
Speaker 5: because that's all they ever want to say about the
3:18
Speaker 5: President anyway. In the letter she posted to social media,
3:24
Speaker 5: since we'll lead our first things with that, she'll leave
3:27
Speaker 5: on June thirtieth, husband just received diagnosed with bone cancer
3:33
Speaker 5: and faces, according to her letter, major challenges in the
3:36
Speaker 5: coming weeks. President Trump said Tulsea has done an incredible
3:40
Speaker 5: job and we will miss her, but he also announced
3:43
Speaker 5: that her principal deputy, Aaron Lucas, will move into the
3:47
Speaker 5: role of DNI, albeit temporarily for now. Controversy from the
3:54
Speaker 5: US Citizenship and Immigration Services is unheard of, isn't it.
3:59
Speaker 5: They've knew policy now that says if you want to
4:01
Speaker 5: apply for a green card, you have to do it
4:05
Speaker 5: from your country of origin, except under extraordinary circumstances. Speaking
4:11
Speaker 5: of questions about countries of origin, a judge has dismissed
4:17
Speaker 5: the human smuggling case brought against Marilyn man kilmar Abrego
4:23
Speaker 5: Garcia el salvadorin National who was pulled over and arrested
4:28
Speaker 5: for human trafficking, had the case thrown out. According to
4:34
Speaker 5: US District Judge Waverley Crenshaw, the evidence before this court
4:39
Speaker 5: sadly reflects an abuse of prosecuting power granting his motion
4:45
Speaker 5: to dismiss for selective or vindictive prosecution. Did they not
4:51
Speaker 5: get the video of the state trooper pulling them over?
4:55
Speaker 5: I don't know. It must have been somehow suppressed to
5:00
Speaker 5: US and Iranian officials, both on Friday reported progress towards
5:04
Speaker 5: an agreement to end the standoff that has now replaced
5:09
Speaker 5: the conflict between the two nations. Iran demands to be
5:15
Speaker 5: allowed to continue to enrich uranium and now invoke tolls
5:24
Speaker 5: for anyone passing the Strait of Hormuz. That is a
5:28
Speaker 5: no starter for both the United States and Pakistani administrators.
5:33
Speaker 5: Pakistan's most powerful army chief was in Iran Friday to
5:37
Speaker 5: help push the diplomacy further. Kevin Worsh was sworn in
5:43
Speaker 5: as Chairman of the Federal Reserve, and the usc DC
5:48
Speaker 5: says they're actively engaged in trying to find treatments vaccines
5:53
Speaker 5: for Ebola. The outbreak, the confetti will have barely settled
6:00
Speaker 5: and the smell of expended fireworks will still be wafting
6:03
Speaker 5: through the air. As we had to Las Vegas to
6:06
Speaker 5: kick off the next two hundred and fifty years of life, liberty,
6:10
Speaker 5: and the pursuit of happiness. At freedom Fests, we are

6:39
Speaker 6: Turned out that most of our films deal with freedom,
6:42
Speaker 6: not only in the United States but all around the world,
6:46
Speaker 6: and it starts with a great film called Fulfilling the
6:49

7:02
Speaker 7: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
7:06
Speaker 8: Yes?
7:07
Speaker 7: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
7:12
Speaker 7: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
7:17
Speaker 7: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
7:21
Speaker 7: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
7:27
Speaker 7: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
7:31
Speaker 7: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
7:35
Speaker 7: precious gas and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
7:38
Speaker 7: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
7:41
Speaker 7: your hands and feet. Well, our product Ultimate nitric Oxide
7:46
Speaker 7: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

8:06
Speaker 7: one of the few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products
8:11
Speaker 7: on the market. I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic
8:15
Speaker 7: diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems to be a
8:20
Speaker 7: perfect addition to any nutritional program. It makes sense to
8:25
Speaker 7: me that preventing or reducing inflammation is a key component
8:30
Speaker 7: to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin
8:34
Speaker 7: can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties, and research
8:40
Speaker 7: suggests that kurcumin can prevent cancer or at least slow
8:44
Speaker 7: the spread of cancer, and in many instances, make chemotherapy
8:48
Speaker 7: more effective. It protects our healthy cells even from radiation.

Speaker 9: I'm Andrew Saul, Commission of Self Security. I'm here to

9:10
Speaker 9: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
9:13

9:16
Speaker 9: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
9:21
Speaker 9: are not from US. Real Social Security employees will never
9:25
Speaker 9: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
9:29
Speaker 9: call like this, hang up. Never give the call of
9:33
Speaker 9: your personal information like your Social Security number or bank account,
9:37
Speaker 9: or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire
9:41
Speaker 9: transfers of prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our
9:46
Speaker 9: law enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at
9:50

9:55
Speaker 9: friends and family.
9:58
Speaker 10: Hi, everybody, I'm Jack Hannah. It's always a boy growing
10:01
Speaker 10: up on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
10:04
Speaker 10: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
10:06
Speaker 10: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
10:08
Speaker 10: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
10:12
Speaker 10: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
10:15
Speaker 10: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
10:17
Speaker 10: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
10:21
Speaker 10: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
10:23
Speaker 10: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
10:25
Speaker 10: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
10:29
Speaker 10: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
10:32
Speaker 10: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
10:35
Speaker 10: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
10:38
Speaker 10: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
10:41
Speaker 10: a change.
10:41
Speaker 11: In their blood chemistry.
10:43
Speaker 10: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
10:45
Speaker 10: contribute to society and help those in need. So please
10:48
Speaker 10: join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
10:51
Speaker 10: dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
10:54
Speaker 10: inhabit together. Go to American Humane dot org to learn more.
11:00
Speaker 12: Br that's buzzed.
11:01
Speaker 5: Oh yeah yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 13: And now a speech.
11:06
Speaker 14: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
Speaker 14: art and brain.
11:12
Speaker 5: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 14: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
11:15
Speaker 14: brain is saying when it's time to go home.
11:18
Speaker 15: Somebody call me a ride.
11:19
Speaker 12: Love that guy me too.
11:21
Speaker 16: Know your buzzed warning signs call for a ride when
11:23
Speaker 16: it's time to go home.
11:24
Speaker 4: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:28
Speaker 11: Did you know that more than half our household energy
11:31
Speaker 11: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
11:35
Speaker 11: good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
11:39
Speaker 11: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
11:42
Speaker 11: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
11:46
Speaker 11: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
11:49
Speaker 11: That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
11:52
Speaker 11: leaks around windows and doors, check ducts for holes, and
11:56
Speaker 11: improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
12:00
Speaker 11: when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
12:02
Speaker 11: energy Star logo and read the energy guide label. And
12:06
Speaker 11: there are day to day things you can do. Lower
12:09
Speaker 11: your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
12:12

Speaker 2: As a family member or friend, you may be the
12:32
Speaker 2: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35

12:40

Speaker 2: Treatment works, recovery is possible.
13:10
Speaker 11: The sounds.
13:13
Speaker 1: On a need to know basis, because you need to
13:16
Speaker 1: know the first thing.
13:18
Speaker 8: Todays come to so.
13:39
Speaker 5: Whole Monday through Friday and live on Saturday so that
13:43
Speaker 5: they can't sneak sally out the alley. Uh, there is
13:47
Speaker 5: so much going on. I want to get this part
13:51
Speaker 5: in though I think this is actually very well done.
13:54
Speaker 5: The headline doesn't belie what's in there. There's a headline
13:58
Speaker 5: on Newsmax Ruddy. It's under their opinion stuff Ruddy. Trump's
14:03
Speaker 5: economics are economic numbers are strong, so what's the problem.
14:09
Speaker 5: And I opened the article out of fear that this
14:12
Speaker 5: was going to be another one of those look Wall
14:14
Speaker 5: Street's way up pieces, And there's some of that in there,
14:23
Speaker 5: because the Marxist is taking the idea that if Wall
14:27
Speaker 5: Street is doing well, you're not despite how many of
14:31
Speaker 5: our four to oh one case and retirement plans are
14:33
Speaker 5: in there, and that most of the people we work
14:39
Speaker 5: for are involved in there. So if you get hammered
14:42
Speaker 5: or you'll jump up and down because Wall Street took
14:45
Speaker 5: a big dive and then you walk in Monday morning
14:48
Speaker 5: to a pink slip, well, you know, you had your fun,
14:52
Speaker 5: you rode your ride. But one of the things in
14:57
Speaker 5: the article that I jumped out, you know, is it's
14:59
Speaker 5: actually more of an article about how the left uses
15:04
Speaker 5: that third entry in the pantheon of deceptions. You have lies,
15:12
Speaker 5: damn lies and statistics. And the column he writes brings
15:19
Speaker 5: up an ABC Washington Post polls showing President Trump at
15:23
Speaker 5: just thirty seven percent approval. And I wish more people
15:27
Speaker 5: would try to do this, and we do this when
15:29
Speaker 5: polls come out. Polls are about changing your ideas of
15:34
Speaker 5: what's going on in the world. It's not about giving
15:36
Speaker 5: you a thumbnail sketch of what's going on. It's trying
15:40
Speaker 5: to make you think something. And that's the problem with polling. Now.
15:45
Speaker 5: Polling has been a sales pitch. It's like getting the
15:50
Speaker 5: FDA approval to put organic on your loaf of bread.
15:59
Speaker 5: So Chris Ready Wrights the number said Trump had a
16:03
Speaker 5: thirty seven percent approval rating. This ABC Amazon Times poll.
16:10
Speaker 5: Huh yeah, this is what I called the Washington Post.
16:13
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, You're right. I should be more clear.
16:20
Speaker 5: So what Chris did is he took the cross tabs.
16:24
Speaker 5: You can get most ethical polling operations. You can look
16:28
Speaker 5: at the cross tabs there, and so he did. He
16:32
Speaker 5: downloaded them all and sent them over to John McLaughlin
16:37
Speaker 5: And in the numbers, John McLachlin pointed out only thirty
16:41
Speaker 5: five only thirty five percent of the people surveyed by
16:46
Speaker 5: the Washington Post and the American broad Corping castration had
16:54
Speaker 5: been a Trump voter. Now that's interesting because if President
17:03
Speaker 5: Trump has a thirty seven percent approval rating and only
17:06
Speaker 5: thirty five percent of the people who were surveyed even
17:10
Speaker 5: voted for Donald Trump, that actually says Donald Trump's approval
17:14
Speaker 5: rating has gone up, not down. If you want to
17:19
Speaker 5: play with statistics, and you know, aside from the hair
17:23
Speaker 5: on your palms and going blind, thirty five percent out
17:29
Speaker 5: of one hundred. So if you're polling, let's say you
17:35
Speaker 5: want to get a survey of a marketplace and twenty
17:43
Speaker 5: percent of your population are vegetarians, and your poll does
17:53
Speaker 5: not depict the population that way, you're coming up with
17:57
Speaker 5: bad numbers. We used to compliaty. There's a great company
18:03
Speaker 5: in terms of what it had been about, Nielsen, and
18:08
Speaker 5: it's a hard job to try to figure out who's
18:10
Speaker 5: listening to the radio because we don't charge people to
18:13
Speaker 5: do this. Arbitron was their name before that, and then
18:18
Speaker 5: Nielsen bought Arbitron, and there are other companies that do
18:21
Speaker 5: a better job with it. Bridge Bridge Rating Services and
18:25
Speaker 5: stuff do a very nice job because they do it
18:27
Speaker 5: in a more personal manner. But radio is driven by ratings,
18:32
Speaker 5: just like television is. Well, it wouldn't make any sense
18:39
Speaker 5: if you surveyed, say Charlottesville, Virginia, or Suffolk County, New York,
18:47
Speaker 5: and your population of your survey didn't match the population
18:52
Speaker 5: of your community. The demographics have to match. And one
18:58
Speaker 5: of the reasons I haven't used Nielsen ratings in a
19:03
Speaker 5: decade or more is that they started doing very very
19:06
Speaker 5: small sample sizes. I mean, you read these polls anyway,
19:12
Speaker 5: and the poll says, you know, four thousand likely voters
19:18
Speaker 5: were polled in New York State out of what twenty
19:21
Speaker 5: million actual voters, tough to get a statistical match on
19:28
Speaker 5: the demographics, and you start to talk to these people
19:32
Speaker 5: about the mathematical machinations they go through to come up
19:37
Speaker 5: with a way to make it look like at the
19:40
Speaker 5: end of the survey, talking to six hundred people in
19:44
Speaker 5: a population of three million is going to give some
19:48
Speaker 5: indicative response. But I just thought it stood out that
19:53
Speaker 5: a lot of people have seen that ABC story Trump's
19:56
Speaker 5: approval rating thirty seven percent, but in the poll only
19:59
Speaker 5: three thirty five percent of the population were Trump voters
20:04
Speaker 5: in the first place, and he got what fifty two
20:07
Speaker 5: percent of the vote? So how do you do that?
20:11
Speaker 5: How do you even square that? Which tells me something
20:17
Speaker 5: all else about this Washington Post poll thanks to Chris
20:21
Speaker 5: Ruddy's efforts with John McLaughlin putting John McLaughlin on this
20:27
Speaker 5: task is I bet they do have a pole that
20:31
Speaker 5: shows the responses of a fifty to fifty split Trump
20:35
Speaker 5: voters versus Kamala Harris voters, and that they didn't like
20:40
Speaker 5: the numbers so they started leaving out. Because you think statistics,
20:45
Speaker 5: especially polling statistics, is a science, it's it is a
20:51
Speaker 5: scientific pursuit that is based on art art. It is
20:57
Speaker 5: truly imagination. So a bunch of people at the beginning
21:01
Speaker 5: of any poll sit down in a room and say, so,
21:05
Speaker 5: what's the enthusiasm in the Republican Party, And then they
21:12
Speaker 5: base their poll on what they believe the enthusiasm is
21:17
Speaker 5: going to be in each political party, and that colors
21:21
Speaker 5: how many Democrats versus Republicans. So their determination that the
21:26
Speaker 5: start of this Amazon Times ABC poll was Republicans are
21:32
Speaker 5: dispirited and downhearted. So we're only going to ask thirty
21:36
Speaker 5: five percent of Trump voters because they are all depressed
21:40
Speaker 5: and downtrodden after a year's worth of negative publicity. By
21:46
Speaker 5: the way, one of my favorite parts of the DNC
21:50
Speaker 5: autopsy of the twenty twenty four results was that they
21:54
Speaker 5: didn't bring up enough of Trump's negatives. Really.
22:01
Speaker 7: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent
22:04
Speaker 7: of forty four herbal supplements had no trace of the
22:08
Speaker 7: advertised herb. Don't let that happen to you, Hi, this

Speaker 17: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
23:14
Speaker 17: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
23:16
Speaker 17: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
23:20
Speaker 17: That's what you should use, But there are exceptions to
23:23
Speaker 17: the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
23:26
Speaker 17: premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
23:29
Speaker 17: is not just due to the octane rating. There are
23:31
Speaker 17: better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too.
23:35
Speaker 17: The vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
23:37
Speaker 17: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
23:40
Speaker 17: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
23:44
Speaker 17: your fuel choices around say every third tank full, you
23:46
Speaker 17: may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
23:50
Speaker 17: are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.

24:07
Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
24:12
Speaker 7: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
24:18
Speaker 7: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
24:22
Speaker 7: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
24:26
Speaker 7: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
24:31
Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:36
Speaker 7: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
24:41
Speaker 7: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
24:45
Speaker 7: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

28:16
Speaker 5: So you have this text message this morning. Ardent listener
28:21
Speaker 5: has been for many years out here in our flagship
28:25
Speaker 5: area of Charlottesville, Virginia. And he says, Joe, I know
28:28
Speaker 5: that you're a racist from the old school, big smiley
28:32
Speaker 5: face in the text. Yes, yes, I've always referred to
28:36
Speaker 5: myself as an Ardent racist, even growing up in New
28:40
Speaker 5: York as a racist. We would go out to Francis
28:42
Speaker 5: Lewis Boulevard and race Oh I know, yeah, No, I
28:47
Speaker 5: understand that the word doesn't necessarily mean that. But I'm
28:50
Speaker 5: a race fan, I'm a motorsports fan, and Mac Yesterday
28:55
Speaker 5: if you go to the podcast channel, has a great
28:58
Speaker 5: piece on the tragedy the passing Kyle Busch at forty
29:03
Speaker 5: one there and man Richard Childress Racing just announced they're
29:08
Speaker 5: going to retire his car number until Brexton Bush is
29:12
Speaker 5: ready to drive it. Because they did this is a
29:16
Speaker 5: you know, because Dale Earnhardt Senior drove for them and
29:18
Speaker 5: lost his life at Daytona and they retired his car
29:22
Speaker 5: number until Richard Childress's son was ready to drive for it,
29:26
Speaker 5: and so it just a tragic scene. But the text
29:31
Speaker 5: goes on to say, what do you think was in
29:34
Speaker 5: the shot he asked his team to give him in
29:38
Speaker 5: Watkins Glen And why do I have this sneaking suspicion
29:43
Speaker 5: It has something to do with how he got grievously
29:46
Speaker 5: ill very quickly this week that's possible again, you know,
29:52
Speaker 5: this is only marginally something that you know, we need
29:59
Speaker 5: to as a public discourse because the family is grieving obviously,
30:04
Speaker 5: and she's got eleven year old son and folks who
30:08
Speaker 5: are dealing with stuff bigger than what caused it. But
30:14
Speaker 5: if there is a medical practice afoot that would bring
30:18
Speaker 5: on such a dramatic case of what sounds like just
30:22
Speaker 5: a horrific respiratory disease an affliction, because there are reports
30:29
Speaker 5: people you know, in the nine to one one centers
30:32
Speaker 5: reporting to Reuters, and and I could read it all
30:35
Speaker 5: to you. I mean, it's all out there, because you know,
30:38
Speaker 5: the internet is a place full of place people trying
30:41
Speaker 5: to get attention for themselves. Family family hasn't released any information,
30:46
Speaker 5: but I guess the Chevy Test Center that he was
30:50
Speaker 5: at the day before he passed away said he needed
30:53
Speaker 5: a nine to one one call. Now Reuters has the
30:56
Speaker 5: nine one one call coughing up blood and is obviously
31:00
Speaker 5: the signs of acute respiratory situation, pulmonary situation. You know,
31:09
Speaker 5: your Mike, your your question, your text is not inapt,
31:13
Speaker 5: but as a public matter of discourse, is this a
31:16
Speaker 5: commonly manifesting medical procedure that he received? Is this something
31:23
Speaker 5: that could happen to you and me if we show
31:26
Speaker 5: up at our emergency room with the about of sinusitis,
31:31
Speaker 5: which is what I've told He was suffering headaches and
31:35
Speaker 5: you know, and just problems with inner ear pressure and
31:38
Speaker 5: things like that. What was in the shot? That's a
31:41
Speaker 5: that's a reasonable question and one that I hope is
31:44
Speaker 5: being asked by somebody. And it might not be anything.
31:48
Speaker 5: It might be a Matthew Perry situation, you know, where
31:55
Speaker 5: where it was something he shouldn't have been taking, or
31:58
Speaker 5: you know that kind of stuff. You don't know, and
32:02
Speaker 5: that's there are reasons to want to know, and you
32:05
Speaker 5: have to want that tightrope because just voyeurism isn't a
32:09
Speaker 5: sufficient reason to want to know. It's it's is there
32:13
Speaker 5: a public health issue? Here? Are these things that are
32:16
Speaker 5: being done to other people, like the clot shot, you know,
32:20
Speaker 5: and all the teenagers that were dropping dead at track
32:23
Speaker 5: meets and football practices, and all of the mortuary operators
32:28
Speaker 5: who are reporting these bizarre blood clots as they tried
32:31
Speaker 5: to embalm recent recently deceased patients. Those are reasonable conversations.
32:38
Speaker 5: Like I said, that's that's the kind of thing I'm
32:40
Speaker 5: watching for in this Mike, So I appreciate the text.
32:43
Speaker 5: Kareem is online two for us here this morning. Kareem,
32:47
Speaker 5: thank you for joining us on this Saturday morning. What
32:50
Speaker 5: is on your mind?
32:53
Speaker 20: Thank Honestly, you've got a rich and fertile field to
32:57
Speaker 20: pull from.
32:58
Speaker 5: Going back and by the way, I realized I was
33:00
Speaker 5: listening backs posting podcasts to this, I realized, you're kind
33:03
Speaker 5: of saying, I'm spreading the manure pretty thick, is what
33:06
Speaker 5: you're saying.
33:08
Speaker 20: You plant a lot of seas, a lot of area,
33:10
Speaker 20: and then you fertilize and make sure which honestly, this year,
33:13
Speaker 20: because we have that no uh lesson urea coming out
33:16
Speaker 20: of the Middle East, we need all the fertilizer we
33:18
Speaker 20: can get.
33:19
Speaker 5: Uh, well said well saved.
33:23
Speaker 20: Going back to this, Kevin Hartnett, bless his soul and
33:26
Speaker 20: his family. I hope they I hope they have comfort
33:29
Speaker 20: in the morning time.
33:30
Speaker 9: Uh.
33:32
Speaker 20: We can look to the NFL. You know, we typically
33:34
Speaker 20: we assume that they're all breathing oxygen when they go
33:37
Speaker 20: back to the sidelines, and if the camera stays on
33:39
Speaker 20: them a little bit longer than usual, you will see
33:42
Speaker 20: some guys collapse. As soon as they get to the sideline.
33:45
Speaker 20: They collapse. Then they had to pick up, be helped
33:48
Speaker 20: up by staff and deposit on the bench. These guys,
33:52
Speaker 20: they're all all immediately and that nothing afterwards. That's that's uh,
33:56
Speaker 20: you know, They're not endurance runners. These are These are
33:58
Speaker 20: high and type players. But they have other inhalibles besides
34:03
Speaker 20: that ninety five percent oxygen which helps to clear out
34:05
Speaker 20: the lactic acid. I forgot the name, but it got
34:09
Speaker 20: some notoriety about ten or so years ago. But as
34:12
Speaker 20: far as an injection, Jesse, the Body of Ventura. He
34:16
Speaker 20: got his name from another wrestler. I forget that gentleman's name,
34:21
Speaker 20: but I don't know why I forgot him, because he's
34:23
Speaker 20: such a notable person. He passed on a couple of
34:25
Speaker 20: years ago as well. He was in the World Strongest
34:28
Speaker 20: Man in competition. And there was a long time great
34:31
Speaker 20: who would disappear for some time and come back refresh.
34:35
Speaker 20: When I say this pit for some time, maybe forty
34:37
Speaker 20: five minutes, maybe an hour. And this guy who was
34:40
Speaker 20: the wrestler had dealt with some substances that were known
34:44
Speaker 20: to increase performances across a variety of ranges. And so
34:49
Speaker 20: the person interviewing said, Okay, when he appeared, do you
34:52
Speaker 20: think he went and took some cocaine? He goes, no, no,
34:53
Speaker 20: because cocaine doesn't refresh you like that. It just wakes
34:56
Speaker 20: you up. It doesn't make you stronger.
34:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, the search is full of that. I mean Mike Schmidt.
35:02
Speaker 5: The Hall of Fame Third Basement for the Phillies talks about,
35:05
Speaker 5: you know, the Reds and the Greens in the seventies,
35:08
Speaker 5: the barbituates that you know were commonplace in locker rooms.
35:13
Speaker 5: Then you get into the Mark McGuire and the Barry
35:16
Speaker 5: Bonds and the clear and those rather than just stimulants
35:20
Speaker 5: like what was happening in the seventies, because these guys
35:24
Speaker 5: were still living the Mickey Mantle life. So they'd be
35:26
Speaker 5: out until three o'clock in the morning and then show
35:28
Speaker 5: up for batting practice at ten and you know, hey,
35:31
Speaker 5: can I I think John Riggins, I literally, I don't
35:35
Speaker 5: spit take a lot. I was driving along and John
35:37
Speaker 5: Riggins was doing the Washington Redskins pregame show back when
35:41
Speaker 5: they could still be called that, and the Redskins were like,
35:44
Speaker 5: were living up to the nickname the Dead Skins. And
35:47
Speaker 5: they were I think they were four and twelve or
35:51
Speaker 5: they were four and eleven, about to play their sixteenth
35:54
Speaker 5: game of the season, and the host asked a reasonable question.
35:58
Speaker 5: I had a couple of players, and I forget the guy,
36:00
Speaker 5: but Riggins was one of them, and they said, so
36:02
Speaker 5: what do you guys do to get motivated for a
36:05
Speaker 5: game like this? And the one guy said, Oh, it's
36:09
Speaker 5: about pride and you're you know, it's about the logo
36:12
Speaker 5: on your uniform, and it's about your team and the
36:15
Speaker 5: guys and the fox all with you and all the
36:17
Speaker 5: tropes that you're taught to say. Riggins pauses, big pregnant pause.
36:23
Speaker 5: He goes, I don't know, Bob, I'd be heading to
36:25
Speaker 5: the medicine cabinet if it was me, and I just
36:28
Speaker 5: I spit coffee all over my windshield. I was just
36:31
Speaker 5: I was gobsmacked. And the host paused for what felt
36:37
Speaker 5: like five minutes before he said, Hey, let's go to break.
36:40
Speaker 5: We'll be right back on the Washington Redskins pregame show here.
36:43
Speaker 5: And I just because that's what was happening in the
36:47
Speaker 5: seventies and then the eighties. It was about muscle recovery,
36:51
Speaker 5: because that's what all the clear and all the human
36:54
Speaker 5: growth hormones were were, so that you didn't have that day.
36:58
Speaker 5: If you've ever lifted weights, you know, you do arms
37:04
Speaker 5: and the next day your arms feel like, you know,
37:06
Speaker 5: you're soaking them in acid because there's so much pain.
37:09
Speaker 5: You talk about the lacted acid, because what you're doing
37:12
Speaker 5: is you're stretching the muscle tissue and it's you know,
37:17
Speaker 5: scarring up and the build up of muscle is actually
37:20
Speaker 5: through scarring and healing, making the muscles bigger. And you
37:25
Speaker 5: can't do that every day unless you take stuff like
37:28
Speaker 5: this clear and all the andro and all the things
37:32
Speaker 5: that they were taking in baseball. And I think one
37:35
Speaker 5: of the most famous cases is Lyle Mattuzac with the
37:39
Speaker 5: Oakland Raiders football team, who was literally, you know, the
37:46
Speaker 5: verge of insanity, and I think it was I have
37:50
Speaker 5: to check the details. I got to break here. Hang
37:52
Speaker 5: on a second, I'll get I'll get the details on
37:54
Speaker 5: what happened to twos because of the roid rage that
37:59
Speaker 5: he was getting. Un can you.
38:01
Speaker 21: Believe with all the recent violent protests, looting, and destruction,
38:06
Speaker 21: some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing the police.
38:11
Speaker 21: At a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of
38:14
Speaker 21: police the most, some elected officials would rather create more
38:17
Speaker 21: chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of elected officials
38:21

Speaker 15: You were strolling along in Goodwill when just past that
40:05

40:57
Speaker 13: Exercise is hard, so is maintained a healthy diet. Of course,
41:03
Speaker 13: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, Type two
41:07
Speaker 13: diabetes heart disease and stroke kill nearly a million people
41:11
Speaker 13: a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable
41:15
Speaker 13: with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating,
41:19
Speaker 13: and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about your risk
41:23
Speaker 13: for type two diabetes and heart disease, and if your
41:26
Speaker 13: doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The reason so
41:31
Speaker 13: many die is because not enough are willing to change.

44:35
Speaker 5: details for you? Matuzak had an enlarged heart and was

Speaker 5: on medication which he overdosed on regarding that, but the
44:46
Speaker 5: enlarged heart was then tracked back to steroid use and
44:52
Speaker 5: then he was also part of that Reds and Greens,
44:55
Speaker 5: uh you know era in sports as well. So plenty
44:59
Speaker 5: of things that these folks do to entertain us, uh
45:04
Speaker 5: kareem you, whether it's you know, the the athletes or
45:08
Speaker 5: even these you know folks like Matthew Perry and the
45:11
Speaker 5: other folks who wind up falling prey to the whole
45:15
Speaker 5: laugh clown laugh story, which is as old as Esop's fables.
45:19
Speaker 5: You know what else on your mind?
45:20
Speaker 17: Oh?
45:22
Speaker 20: Oh, so Joe, every time I talked to Y'll learned
45:24
Speaker 20: so much Matthew Perry Ron Williams. But going back to statistics,
45:29
Speaker 20: that famous Mark Twain quote that you or Mark Twain
45:32
Speaker 20: saying that you quoted, if I'm not mistaken, one hundred
45:35
Speaker 20: percent of manga and this was on CNN, so you
45:38
Speaker 20: know it was true. Uh, one hundred percent of manga
45:41
Speaker 20: supported this, Aaron, whatever you want to call it, uh, bombardment, bombardment,
45:47
Speaker 20: that that's a good term bombardment.
45:50
Speaker 2: Uh.
45:50
Speaker 20: The I'm just to be curious if they revisited that
45:55
Speaker 20: and asked those same people again. But as far as
45:57
Speaker 20: pauland goes, I'm a big fan of the big data pole.
46:01
Speaker 20: Richard Barris b a r I s. He puts out
46:05
Speaker 20: all of his tabs. He puts a cross tabs out
46:07
Speaker 20: and he has he will live stream and go through
46:11
Speaker 20: the minutia of his work every almost rutly every day,
46:15
Speaker 20: but multiple times a week for sure. And Joe, you're
46:20
Speaker 20: right when you look those cross tabs and you're like, well,
46:22
Speaker 20: Billy for this ABC Washington was ABC in Washington Post.
46:26
Speaker 20: Is that he did this recent one, Yes, sir, when
46:29
Speaker 20: they spot the thirty five percent of actual Trump he
46:32
Speaker 20: ran three times. It's not like they couldn't find somebody
46:35
Speaker 20: to fill.
46:36
Speaker 5: That gap exactly. But that's what I said. They decided
46:40
Speaker 5: that Trump voters don't like him anymore, so we're not
46:42
Speaker 5: going to ask them.
46:44
Speaker 24: Yea.
46:45
Speaker 20: Honestly, when you stop having a conversation with the people
46:48
Speaker 20: you disagree with, you've fenced. This isn't a this isn't
46:52
Speaker 20: a good fences make good neighbors thing. This is a
46:54
Speaker 20: Waldorf community. And you if you don't have any resources
46:59
Speaker 20: going through, you're.
47:00
Speaker 5: Essentially going your own jail sale.
47:02
Speaker 25: Yeah.
47:02
Speaker 20: But anyway, Joe, have it great Saturday, and thank you
47:04
Speaker 20: for taking my call at all.
47:05
Speaker 5: Kareem, you have a great morning too. Thanks for making
47:07
Speaker 5: it four three, four eight eight two for two seven.
47:11
Speaker 5: You do the same house of the news of the
47:13
Speaker 5: day impacting you where you are. Doctor Clark is on
47:16
Speaker 5: the line from Alabama. Good morning, doctor Clark. How are
47:18
Speaker 5: you doing this Saturday morning? Now?
47:21
Speaker 24: I'm great, Joe. I'll stop for the yard sale.
47:24
Speaker 25: It's Memorial Day weekend, and I kind of know what
47:27
Speaker 25: that's about.
47:29
Speaker 5: You lose, you lose friends, uh, And I always you
47:32
Speaker 5: know people, you know, it runs hot and cold. If
47:34
Speaker 5: I talk to a veteran that I know and I say,
47:37
Speaker 5: you know, how are you doing this? Memorial Day. It's
47:39
Speaker 5: not my holiday, but you you know, if you've served
47:42
Speaker 5: long enough, you know somebody who's on the wall somewhere
47:46
Speaker 5: for Memorial Day. So it impacts everyone.
47:50
Speaker 25: The guy that took my place in Bay it got
47:52
Speaker 25: blown up. Oh gosh, picture him on my wall.
47:57
Speaker 24: His dad is.
48:00
Speaker 25: Not really able to communicate very well anymore. I think
48:03
Speaker 25: it's all timer's or something like it. Yeah, so there's
48:08
Speaker 25: a lot there.
48:10
Speaker 24: This Katie Tour woman who is all in the news.
48:14
Speaker 25: Right now, or at least the pundits on our side
48:18
Speaker 25: talking about her poor understanding of the declaration and where
48:22
Speaker 25: are right.
48:22
Speaker 5: You were talking about the ms MS now host that. Yeah,
48:27
Speaker 5: it was gobsmacked about it. Yeah, and that actually happened.
48:32
Speaker 5: I think that happened last week or over the weekend.
48:35
Speaker 5: It was like a weekend panel show she was hosting.
48:38
Speaker 24: And oh, you can find something on it pretty quickly.
48:43
Speaker 25: Now here's the thing, I, unlike miss Tour, apparently have
48:48
Speaker 25: read the Declaration of Independence of time or two.
48:52
Speaker 24: But there's a sticking point.
48:54
Speaker 25: For me right now, Joe and everything you've talked about
48:57
Speaker 25: this morning.
49:00
Speaker 24: And dowed by.
49:02
Speaker 25: Our creator with certain unalienable rights. You know, if I
49:09
Speaker 25: got to Talvi Jefferson, I'd probably go Mandy, but tinking
49:12
Speaker 25: from the Princess Bride. There.
49:15
Speaker 24: You keep using that word. What does that word mean.
49:16
Speaker 24: I don't think it means what you think it means, because.
49:21
Speaker 25: If those rights were in fact unalienable, Joe, we would
49:26
Speaker 25: not have to institute governments to protect them.
49:29
Speaker 24: And here's the thing. Freedom's not free. The cause of
49:34
Speaker 24: freedom is very dear, and the tree needs to be
49:38
Speaker 24: watered from time to time. And if we get to
49:41
Speaker 24: the point where.
49:42
Speaker 25: We lack the courage or the will to water the tree,
49:47
Speaker 25: the tree will die. And there's always someone that would
49:52
Speaker 25: like to alienable us from those rights.
49:54
Speaker 5: Well, you know, here's the thing. So I think the
49:58
Speaker 5: use of the word inalienable right no is important because
50:02
Speaker 5: it implies a legal status on it that if you
50:06
Speaker 5: alienate me from my rights, you have in that effort
50:10
Speaker 5: committed a crime, you know, crime, civil rights, whatever statute
50:17
Speaker 5: you want to put it under. By putting it in
50:21
Speaker 5: that category of inalienable, that anything that takes away my property,
50:26
Speaker 5: that takes away my freedom to do as I see
50:30
Speaker 5: fits say the things associated with the people is criminal
50:34
Speaker 5: by its design. And then to lay out and this
50:39
Speaker 5: was the controversy over the Bill of Rights. So James
50:43
Speaker 5: Madison didn't include that list of those unalienable rights the
50:49
Speaker 5: way the Virginia Constitution does. Virginia Constitution. You know, they
50:54
Speaker 5: patterned the Bill of Rights after the Article one of
50:57
Speaker 5: the Virginia Constitution. Ours in Virginia are not amendments. It
51:02
Speaker 5: is Article one of the Constitution. The right to bear arms,
51:05
Speaker 5: the free speech, the free association. That kind of thing
51:08
Speaker 5: is all baked into the cake. We didn't have to
51:11
Speaker 5: put it on as icing after the fact. The Madison's
51:15
Speaker 5: point of it was that in his effort to not
51:18
Speaker 5: allow this to become an authoritarian government, he understood that
51:23
Speaker 5: there were already at that point interpretations of John Locke's theory.
51:28
Speaker 5: John Locke's theory is the one that that's based on.
51:31
Speaker 5: It's John Locke's theory that all men are created equal
51:35
Speaker 5: and endowed by and if I may be pedantic for
51:37
Speaker 5: a moment, endowed by their creator, with certain inalienable rights.
51:44
Speaker 5: And that's one of the most important words in human history,
51:47
Speaker 5: I believe. But we can visit that later. Having said that,
51:54
Speaker 5: having said that, as a governing function, he understood that
51:59
Speaker 5: there would be people like Tim Kaine who would come
52:02
Speaker 5: along and say well, And at that point there were
52:05
Speaker 5: already people saying, well, therefore, if the government chooses not
52:10
Speaker 5: to defend that right, it doesn't exist. So therefore the
52:14
Speaker 5: government does grant the rights. It was their interpretive dance.
52:20
Speaker 5: That's why the word inalienable is so important, because a
52:24
Speaker 5: government that chooses not to defend those God given rights
52:29
Speaker 5: has committed a crime against humanity prima facia. And I'm
52:33
Speaker 5: not a lawyer. I just know way too many of them, Clark,
52:38
Speaker 5: But that's to me the importance of that word. That
52:41
Speaker 5: word implies that any government, like Tim Kaine says, that
52:45
Speaker 5: chooses not to defend one of those rights has committed
52:49
Speaker 5: a crime. You know. It's true.
52:52
Speaker 18: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
52:55
Speaker 18: to think about what matters most when it comes to
52:57
Speaker 18: our spending our healthcare. This is why so many people
53:00
Speaker 18: are joining meta share right now. Metas Share is a
53:04
Speaker 18: trusted way to save up to fifty percent on your
53:07
Speaker 18: monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred thousand people have
53:10
Speaker 18: already made the switch. It's pretty obvious why too, especially
53:14
Speaker 18: now during this challenging season with healthcare costs and out
53:17
Speaker 18: of pocket expenses. Going up meta share can save you
53:20
Speaker 18: a lot of money. The typical family saves five hundred
53:23
Speaker 18: dollars a month.
53:24
Speaker 4: Medashare works too.
53:26
Speaker 18: It's been around for thirty years. Members have shared more
53:28
Speaker 18: than five billion dollars of each other's bills. There are
53:31
Speaker 18: different options to choose from to fit your budget. I'll
53:34
Speaker 18: give you the number here in a second, and if
53:35
Speaker 18: you call, you can get a price within two minutes.
53:38
Speaker 18: Maybe now is the perfect time to make the switch
53:41
Speaker 18: and start saving.
53:42
Speaker 5: Here you go call eight five five share forty. That's
53:45
Speaker 5: eight five five shre forty. Eight five five share forty
