  Speaker 1: We have had right-wing shock jocks for years.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Joe works at a steel mill.
• 0:11
  Speaker 4: He's down here every day.
• 0:14
  Speaker 5: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:17
  Speaker 6: Drops the kids to school and all the work.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:24
  Speaker 7: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:27
  Speaker 8: He only aims to please you.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: I'll never be your joke.
• 0:33
  Speaker 9: Bless you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:35
  Speaker 9: this morning.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I want to be your joke.
• 0:39
  Speaker 9: One of them right-wing shock jocks, according to the Abby
• 0:42
  Speaker 9: Normal show on CNN. Abby Grabe, what does she call it?
• 0:48
  Speaker 10: Whatever.
• 0:49
  Speaker 9: The one that Scott used to be on, and now
• 0:53
  Speaker 9: he's off doing his own thing. Has he been named
• 0:55
  Speaker 9: press secretary yet? More press coverage of Scott Jennings' denial
• 1:01
  Speaker 9: that he's going to be press secretary than anything. Text
• 1:05
  Speaker 9: message on the subject of the argument over right-wing shock
• 1:11
  Speaker 9: jocks to 434-882-4217. And a little surprising, the location, because
• 1:24
  Speaker 9: it's Portland, but listening out on Freedom 970, Marquise writes in, Joe,
• 1:31
  Speaker 9: please don't go the way Howard Stern went. And I
• 1:36
  Speaker 9: don't mean just becoming a left-wing anti-Trump TDS loon. I
• 1:42
  Speaker 9: appreciate you. Don't hold back on that. He said, I
• 1:47
  Speaker 9: just noticed he signed a deal after spending a whole
• 1:50
  Speaker 9: summer telling his fans that He wasn't going to leave
• 1:54
  Speaker 9: the radio show, so he signs a multi-million dollar deal
• 1:58
  Speaker 9: to do one show a week. One show a week!
• 2:03
  Speaker 9: Exclamation mark. And some expletives in there that Howard might read,
• 2:09
  Speaker 9: but I'm not going to read them into the public record.
• 2:11
  Speaker 9: But Marquise, I appreciate somehow throwing me in there. But
• 2:15
  Speaker 9: you realize SiriusXM... And only the federal government is more
• 2:22
  Speaker 9: foolhardy with their money than the SiriusXM network. This is
• 2:27
  Speaker 9: why they've been through, I think, four ownership groups in
• 2:30
  Speaker 9: their existence, because they keep burning through venture capital, trying
• 2:35
  Speaker 9: to build themselves some audience. And if there's an example
• 2:43
  Speaker 9: of database marketing... failing it's the satellite first off is
• 2:48
  Speaker 9: Sirius XM because the two companies couldn't exist on their
• 2:52
  Speaker 9: own so they merged so you have no choice in
• 2:55
  Speaker 9: satellite radio and you really think Dale Earnhardt does more
• 2:59
  Speaker 9: than one day one show a week for the Dale
• 3:02
  Speaker 9: Earnhardt channel last time I checked Dale Earnhardt only does
• 3:05
  Speaker 9: a half an hour on the Dale Earnhardt channel you
• 3:09
  Speaker 9: guys are paying a fortune for it this is why
• 3:11
  Speaker 9: they struggle as you get it for free in your
• 3:13
  Speaker 9: new car and And then when the subscription is up,
• 3:15
  Speaker 9: unless they auto-renew you like so many of the thugs do,
• 3:20
  Speaker 9: then you're not renewing. Department of Homeland Security. And several
• 3:26
  Speaker 9: people have asked, why is the Department of Homeland Security
• 3:30
  Speaker 9: interested in voter fraud? Well, if non-citizens are voting in
• 3:34
  Speaker 9: our elections, I'd say that falls under the banner of
• 3:37
  Speaker 9: Homeland Security. Homeland Security offices in Washington state Wisconsin, Missouri, Georgia, California, Pennsylvania, Nevada,
• 3:47
  Speaker 9: and New York, oh, and Connecticut as well, are investigating
• 3:52
  Speaker 9: voter fraud in those states. President Trump wants Congress to
• 3:58
  Speaker 9: pass tax incentives to get Hollywood to move back to
• 4:01
  Speaker 9: the United States, stop filming all of their films in Canada.
• 4:06
  Speaker 9: Isn't that what the tariffs were for? Scott Besant in
• 4:10
  Speaker 9: North Carolina at the G20 summit told Anton Silyanov that
• 4:17
  Speaker 9: no aid will be coming from the U.S. government to
• 4:19
  Speaker 9: Russia until they end the war with Ukraine. Oil refiners
• 4:26
  Speaker 9: and fuel distributors will be at the White House today
• 4:29
  Speaker 9: to meet with President Trump on bringing down gasoline prices
• 4:33
  Speaker 9: there as 67 billion gallons of Venezuelan crude oil heads
• 4:39
  Speaker 9: to the United States to find a home in your
• 4:42
  Speaker 9: gas tank some point. John Roberts said that President Trump's
• 4:46
  Speaker 9: White House ballroom project is likely unlawful. He was able
• 4:52
  Speaker 9: to make that statement and write the dissent along with
• 4:55
  Speaker 9: the other three dissenting liberals, Ketanji, Brown, Jackson, etc., because
• 4:59
  Speaker 9: there were five conservatives on the court that said the
• 5:02
  Speaker 9: construction can proceed while the hearing process continues. goes on.
• 5:10
  Speaker 9: Secretary Dan Driscoll of the U.S. Army submitted his resignation yesterday. This,
• 5:16
  Speaker 9: according to press reports, after months of tension between the
• 5:21
  Speaker 9: Secretary of War and Driscoll over the direction of the
• 5:25
  Speaker 9: service and the ouster of senior officers. White House statement,
• 5:31
  Speaker 9: Secretary Driscoll has been highly effective in advancing President Trump's
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: agenda in to make America strong again. And President Trump
• 5:42
  Speaker 9: has suggested in a $ 25 million aid package to conservative
• 5:47
  Speaker 9: groups in Europe, $ 4 million be used to start right-wing
• 5:53
  Speaker 9: leaning media. And those are some of our first things
• 5:57

  Speaker 13: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them nestled
• 9:09
  Speaker 13: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.

• 9:57
  Speaker 16: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:03
  Speaker 16: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 16: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 16: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 16: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 16: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:24
  Speaker 16: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 16: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 16: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 16: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Eat better. Get moving.

  Speaker 9: I can probably swim.

  Speaker 6: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 13: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 19: Cannonball!

• 12:26
  Speaker 6: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 24: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 12:32
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 19: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 19: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 19: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

  Speaker 24: Here is the sound of thousands of snares quaking.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Tonk Media Network.
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 13:17
  Speaker 16: It was like lightning.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Everybody was frightening.
• 13:18
  Speaker 18: And the music was soothing.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: And they all started grooving.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And the man in the back.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: Said, if you want to talk, can you.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Turn it to a ballroom?
• 13:33
  Speaker 11: And the girl in the corner said, boy, I.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Want to want you to turn it to a ballroom.
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: So Joe basking in the frequency modulation of our flagship station.
• 13:46
  Speaker 9: By the way, I thought about this and I left
• 13:48
  Speaker 9: it out of the news story. A 91-year-old man just
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: finished hiking the Appalachian Trail. And I thought about this
• 13:56
  Speaker 9: because about two-thirds of the way from Georgia to Maine,
• 14:02
  Speaker 9: you walk right past a cluster of transmitter towers. It's
• 14:05
  Speaker 9: probably not the first one. but you're in the Blue
• 14:08
  Speaker 9: Ridge Mountains, and one of their transmitters is mine. There's
• 14:13
  Speaker 9: actually a park bench there. I'm thinking, you really want
• 14:16
  Speaker 9: to sit and have a picnic basking in the RF?
• 14:20
  Speaker 9: It's one thing to be on the receiving end of
• 14:22
  Speaker 9: the frequency modulation, but the RF radiation right next to
• 14:26
  Speaker 9: the transmitter, probably 91 years old. Bless his heart. But Joe,
• 14:32
  Speaker 9: listening to us on 101.1 FM, FM in central Virginia
• 14:37
  Speaker 9: asks by text at 434-882-4217, why not call it the
• 14:43
  Speaker 9: Barack Obama ballroom? Bless your heart, Joe. I don't know
• 14:48
  Speaker 9: if you teed me up for this intentionally or not,
• 14:51
  Speaker 9: but since we're talking about shock jocks, this gives me
• 14:53
  Speaker 9: an opportunity to explain why I think President Trump should
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: call the ballroom to be where the East Wing was,
• 15:02
  Speaker 9: the Lyndon Johnson Memorial Ballroom. See, Richard Nixon wasn't the
• 15:07
  Speaker 9: only person to record phone calls in the Oval Office.
• 15:11
  Speaker 9: And you've heard of Hager Slacks, right? Well, John Hager,
• 15:17
  Speaker 9: one of the Hagers, the patriarch of the Hager family
• 15:21
  Speaker 9: in the slack-making business, slackers, if you would, was so
• 15:27
  Speaker 9: popular in the early 60s with the vice president and
• 15:33
  Speaker 9: then president, that he called him from the Oval Office.
• 15:36
  Speaker 9: This is President Lyndon Johnson and I think it's John
• 15:41
  Speaker 9: Hager of the Hager Slack Company.
• 15:43
  Speaker 22: I need about a half an inch too tight in
• 15:47
  Speaker 22: the waist. Do you recall the back thighs?
• 15:50
  Speaker 14: I just wanted to really get them right for you. No,
• 15:53
  Speaker 14: I don't know.
• 15:53
  Speaker 22: You all just guessed at them. I think so, but
• 15:55
  Speaker 22: wouldn't you have the measurements there?
• 15:57
  Speaker 25: No, I don't know.
• 15:59
  Speaker 22: The pockets, when you sit down in a chair, the
• 16:02
  Speaker 22: knife and your money comes out. So I needed at
• 16:04
  Speaker 22: least another inch in the pockets. All right.
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 16:08
  Speaker 22: Now, another thing, the crotch down where your butts hang
• 16:12
  Speaker 22: is always a little too tight. So when you make
• 16:14
  Speaker 22: them up, give me an inch that I can let
• 16:17
  Speaker 22: out there.
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: So, you see, that's why I think President Trump should
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: call it the Lyndon Johnson Memorial Ballroom. once they're done
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: making it. Maybe John Roberts would have voted in favor
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: of it there. Don't look at me that way. Yeah, sure, fine.
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: Use the phrase shock jock. Matt wants to talk about
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: that at 434-882-4217 as well. Matt, good morning, sir.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: How are you doing?
• 16:44
  Speaker 17: Well, I'm surviving.
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: Good deal, good deal.
• 16:49
  Speaker 17: What I think of when I hear These people scream
• 16:53
  Speaker 17: about right wing shock jocks. Back when Harry Truman was
• 16:59
  Speaker 17: running for president, the guy shouted to him from the crowd,
• 17:04
  Speaker 17: give him hell, Harry, to which he responded. I just
• 17:10
  Speaker 17: tell them the truth and they think it's hell. Um,
• 17:17
  Speaker 17: With so many of these left-wing talking heads, and if
• 17:24
  Speaker 17: they're going to call me right-wing, I'll call them left-wing,
• 17:28
  Speaker 17: they exist to be offended. And anytime somebody gets on
• 17:36
  Speaker 17: the radio and starts talking about conservative principles, they react
• 17:43
  Speaker 17: like vampires splashed with holy water.
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: You aren't wrong. That's why they have to marginalize. Oh,
• 17:52
  Speaker 9: you're wingers. You're out there on the fringes. And the
• 17:57
  Speaker 9: point I was making earlier of Russell Kirk, you know,
• 18:01
  Speaker 9: in his treatise that sort of sets sets the tone
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: for American conservatism is that conservatism is actually the absence
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: of ideology, that that each instance is viewed in its
• 18:16
  Speaker 9: own way. and its own impact on the community so
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: that you can at one point say, hey, should the
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: FCC do this or should the Securities and Exchange Commission
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: do it or should some of these agencies even exist?
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: Because if you're ideological, then you're going to be pigeonholed
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: into whatever box that ideology came out of.
• 18:44
  Speaker 17: Well, I remember when there was all these ructions over
• 18:51
  Speaker 17: gay marriage and the Supreme Court was making a ruling
• 18:59
  Speaker 17: on gay marriage. I remember thinking to myself, I've read
• 19:05
  Speaker 17: the Constitution. There's nothing in there about marriage. Yep.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Want to know why?
• 19:15
  Speaker 17: What is the Supreme Court getting involved with this?
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: As a matter of fact, actually, you know, the sanctity
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: and the sacrament of marriage is part of the First Amendment.
• 19:31
  Speaker 9: Because if you left marriage to the churches, well, then
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: the First Amendment prohibits the government from prohibiting the free
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: exercise of shame, correct? If I'm not mischaracterizing it.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: Well, there you go.
• 19:48
  Speaker 15: Answered.
• 19:49
  Speaker 9: You and me, we could be Supreme Court justices. The
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: new game show, are you smarter than a Supreme Court justice?
• 19:58
  Speaker 17: Well, there are times when I agree with Dr. Clark
• 20:07
  Speaker 17: on John Roberts and is there someone who could rid
• 20:11
  Speaker 17: me of this meddlesome justice?
• 20:16
  Speaker 9: I remember when W, and I think you were listening
• 20:19
  Speaker 9: to this radio program or its earlier iterations in that
• 20:23
  Speaker 9: 20-year blackness that I'm not allowed to.
• 20:28
  Speaker 17: Is this when you were on the station that shall
• 20:30
  Speaker 17: not be named?
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: Exactly, that whole redacted part of my resume. He was
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: appointed by President Bush... to be Supreme Court Chief Justice.
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: And I'm like, what? You can't just do that. And
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: apparently you can, because now we're stuck with him for
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: Lord only knows how long.
• 20:54
  Speaker 17: Yeah, well, I mean, and this is typical of Washington.
• 20:58
  Speaker 17: It's like, okay, whose turn is it now to have
• 21:01
  Speaker 17: this job?
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah, well.
• 21:03
  Speaker 17: And to be fair, this is this is how we
• 21:06
  Speaker 17: ended up with presidential candidates like Bob Dole. And Bob
• 21:11
  Speaker 17: Dole wasn't the worst of them, but it was just, hey,
• 21:14
  Speaker 17: let's nominate Bob. It's his turn.
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: John Howard Dean and then Michael Dukakis. Oh, the list
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: goes on. It's over and over again. Maybe this is
• 21:28
  Speaker 9: what Joe Biden meant when he said Barack Obama was storybook. Anyway,
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: good to catch up with you, Matt. Thank you, sir,
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: and you have an awesome morning.
• 21:37
  Speaker 22: All right.
• 21:38
  Speaker 17: You take care, Joe. Bye.
• 21:41
  Speaker 22: 434-882-4217.
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: The pockets, when you sit down in a chair, the
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: knife and your money comes out, so I need at
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: least another inch in the pockets.
• 21:50
  Speaker 17: All right.
• 21:51
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 21:52
  Speaker 22: Now, another thing, the crotch down where your butts hang
• 21:56
  Speaker 22: is always a little too tight. So when you make
• 21:59
  Speaker 22: them up, give me a.
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: Hey, I'm Brant, and her name is Sherry.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: for because of a surgery she just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 25: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:12
  Speaker 25: talk about all the time, which is?
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: MediShare.
• 22:14
  Speaker 25: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: So what was your experience like with MediShare and the
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: health care bills?
• 22:18
  Speaker 25: Honestly, Brant, seamless. And what a blessing that is. When
• 22:21
  Speaker 25: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
• 22:24
  Speaker 25: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 25: me tell you, Having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 25: call in with your need, that is just.
• 22:33
  Speaker 14: It is refreshing.
• 22:34
  Speaker 25: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: What I keep telling people, people love MediShare and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 25: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different.
• 22:46
  Speaker 25: And I mean different in a very, very good way.
• 22:48

  Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Artificial
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver better
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that speed up diagnoses
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports veterinary teams
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease, and even streamline
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: record keeping so veterinarians can focus more on patients. But
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: as with any new technology, always keep a human in
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare. AI is
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: a powerful tool. but not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion,
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: and judgment, which remains at the center of our profession.

  Speaker 20: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 24:09
  Speaker 20: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch. And nitric
• 24:14
  Speaker 20: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 20: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 20: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 24:28
  Speaker 20: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 24:33
  Speaker 20: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:36
  Speaker 20: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 24:39
  Speaker 20: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 24:42
  Speaker 20: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
• 24:47

  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: I'm going to head to the sports room where luckily
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: for Mac, he wasn't listening in queue to our last segment.
• 28:29
  Speaker 9: because he might be rethinking his position with us there.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: But anyway.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: What happened? Whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 28:37
  Speaker 9: You can't leave that one. No, it's the Supreme Court
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: ruling on President Trump's construction of a new ballroom, and
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: my suggestion that it be named in honor of Lyndon Johnson.
• 28:47
  Speaker 9: And I just got a text message. It says, and
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: the award for worst editing job in radio goes to
• 28:54
  Speaker 9: Joe Thomas. Did you actually intend to edit out any
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: of the word? Uh, there, well, you know, you heard
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: the N and the TZ. What else do you need
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: me to take out?
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. Have you seen the AI film of
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: him playing a blues guitar and singing a blues song?
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: No, I haven't.
• 29:16
  Speaker 14: Oh, it is.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: I've got it. I'll find it tomorrow. It's called Fake
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: News Blues, and it is so good.
• 29:23
  Speaker 9: Lyndon Johnson, really?
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: I'll save it until tomorrow. I'll tell you what. I've
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: got it. I've got the audio. I'll save it for tomorrow.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: It's precious. There's a lot of funny stuff going on.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: They they put him in the Seinfeld episodes.
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: And they've got the actual stuff. I mean, it's just,
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: I said, anyway, it's really good.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: What are the Cubs drinking in Chicago?
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: What do you think they're drinking?
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: The Cubs went, the Cubs hit in the month of August,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: 62 homers. All right. That's second only to the 2019 Yankees.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: And last night, They hit nine against the Brewers.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Nine home runs. Alex Bregman hit three. His second three-dinger
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: game of the month. That's only happened six other times,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: so he was the seventh. And Andrew Vaughn, the first
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: baseman from Milwaukee, he pitched the last two innings throwing
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: church league. He gave up seven earned runs, three homers,
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: nine hits.
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: That in practice.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, it was crazy.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Anyway, for the Cubs fans, and I know there are many,
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: I know you're having fun. Okay, Texas Longhorns head coach
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Steve Sarkeesian joining the list. The long list of coaches
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: not holding back now when it comes to this upcoming
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: roster thing. I'm just trying to stay on top of
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: the story. A lot of the comments are becoming repetitious,
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: and I apologize for that. But the way he brushed
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: over his SEC brethren from Baton Rouge yesterday, it's just great,
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: great stuff. He said yesterday that programs that are bringing
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: in players who spend time in NFL training camps is
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: morally wrong.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: These players on all of our rosters, not just ours,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: have been working for nine months for this moment on Saturday,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: which then will lead into the next five to six months.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: The fact that somebody out there is going to take
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: a player off of an NFL roster and tell somebody
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: who's been doing it for nine months, go kick rocks,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: That doesn't sit well with me.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: I think that's wrong.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: That morally is wrong. So I think our presidents, ADs,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: and chancellors got it right, and we'll support it, and
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: we'll fall in line.
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: I like the cruise ship banging the lectern part of there.
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: So if Vince Young calls and says, hey, I think
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: I still have some eligibility left. And I, you know,
• 31:44
  Speaker 9: I drank too much, you know, whatever they.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Used to call it.
• 31:48
  Speaker 9: Well, they used to call it something juice, go juice
• 31:52
  Speaker 9: or something like that. It was like cough syrup and
• 31:55
  Speaker 9: vodka and Gatorade.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 31:58
  Speaker 9: It ruined his career. So maybe he wants to come back,
• 32:01
  Speaker 9: you know, live the glory days. Vince Young wouldn't get
• 32:06
  Speaker 9: a start at quarterback over any of the Manning family.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this is, I mean, it's just Thursday. I can't
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: wait till Thursday. And I, I, I wish I may
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: court TV is going to have it. I don't know.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: I should look it up, but I can't wait. I
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: can't wait for this.
• 32:21
  Speaker 9: So, Oh yeah.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: With the, yeah. With the sec versus the judge in,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: in Baton Rouge. I just can't wait to see what happens.
• 32:28
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: A very disturbing story. Now I'll put on a whole
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: nother face show because what I watched this morning and
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: found this morning and, um, A four-year starter at Duke, former.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: Kyle Singler is in trouble mentally. He followed a series
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: of Instagram and ex-posts regarding his life and Coach K,
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: the former Piston coach. And OKC Forward has taken a
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: turn that many players and coaches in the NBA are very,
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: very concerned about. All right, to back up a little bit,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: he had a domestic abuse arrest in 2025 in October.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: He was arrested in Haskell County, Oklahoma, charged with domestic
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: abuse assault. Deputies responded to a 9-11 call. He grabbed
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: his girlfriend by the head, shoved her to the ground
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: in front of a young kid. Now, previous distress. In
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: late 2024, he shared a rambling video stating he fears
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: for his life every day. It prompted public alarm from
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: former teammates and the Players Association regarding his mental health. Well, now,
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: last week, five days ago, he posted an Instagram take,
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: and I'm going to play it for you. I've edited it.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: It's a little longer.
• 33:36
  Speaker 14: He looks.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Disheveled is not strong enough. He looks very strung out,
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: very distressed. Not the Kyle Singler that people remember even
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: in the NBA, but apparently with Duke. He walks around
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: his apartment with this video, just walks around in a circle.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: I'm going to play you the audio. As I said,
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: I touched it up a little bit. But it's pretty disturbing.
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: Cutting my power off.
• 34:12
  Speaker 17: Breaking into my house.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Stealing money.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Ruining my life.
• 34:18
  Speaker 22: Reached out to Coach K.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: And all he did is sit me on the bench.
• 34:23
  Speaker 17: Thanks, man.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Is that what we're doing at school? Sending people down?
• 34:26
  Speaker 17: Teaching them up?
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Cool beans, man.
• 34:30
  Speaker 17: Well, I have more to say and I need this
• 34:33
  Speaker 17: message to go out.
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: Coach, where you at?
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Helping my brother out. Thought we were on the same team, man. Yeah,
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: so he sends that to, you know, talking about Coach
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: K and said that he's not getting the help that
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: he wants. He made $ 22 million in his NBA career.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: He was out of the league by age 29, and
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: we really hadn't heard much from him in recent years,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: but now he has resurfaced. These posts have shown up on...
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: On YouTube, they're all over Instagram and X.
• 34:59
  Speaker 9: Has anyone done a welfare check on this kid?
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's the thing. So he thinks that people
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: are out to kill him. He says his power's been
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: shut off. He said he's had break-ins. People are coming
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: in to steal his money. And it's just an absolute alarming.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: And especially when the, you know, when you've got social
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: media and to release these videos, it's just a very,
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: very disturbing episode with the guy who was a four-year
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: starter at Duke. And he was, you know, he was
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: part of their 2010 championship and he, you know, he's been...
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: But now, all of a sudden, he has taken his turn.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: And right now, it is not good. So hopefully, and
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: just thousands of posts, really thousands of posts, people get
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: him help, find help.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 35:44
  Speaker 9: I mean, has Coach K said anything?
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: You know, and the thing is, knowing Coach K the
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: way I know Coach K, he would definitely not play
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: that through the press or the media or content. You know,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: that's going to be all... And I would bet that
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: he is making some phone calls because that, you know,
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: we all know that the Duke family is pretty tight, right? So,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: you know, the Duke basketball family. So I think, yeah,
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: there's definitely.
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: They still talk to Christian Leitner. So, I mean, you know.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: He was named the NCAA Tournament's Most Outstanding Player during
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: that run, that 2011 NBA draft. He was in the
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: second round 33rd. Excuse me.
• 36:27
  Speaker 9: I mean, that's notable. I mean, the second round NBA
• 36:30
  Speaker 9: draft choice is considerable. And you said, you know, OKC,
• 36:36
  Speaker 9: you know, my worry is, is this kid another one
• 36:40
  Speaker 9: of these stories of, you know, 22 million and he
• 36:43
  Speaker 9: doesn't have two nickels to rub together anymore? You know,
• 36:47
  Speaker 9: we talk about I just made light of Vince Young's situation,
• 36:50
  Speaker 9: but he's another, you know, how many of these guys
• 36:54
  Speaker 9: wind up?
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 36:55
  Speaker 9: You know, faster than, you know, the latest state lottery
• 36:59
  Speaker 9: winner wind up with no money.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: All right. I'm going to close with this today. We
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: got a little bit of time. Will somebody grab Angel
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: Reese and teach her her media, give her some media training.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: She needs it in the worst way, the worst way.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: The last two postgame interviews I've heard, she's dropped the
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: S4 letter bomb during the interview. Oh, we played like,
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: you know, fill in the blank. Well, now a postgame
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: interview talking about one of her teammates and the debut
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: of the dream. She goes, her energy, I told her
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: first shot was going to hit like crack. You know,
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: somebody has to get Angel Reese and say, Angel, this
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: is a radio. This is a television. This is a microphone.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: You know, hey, Angel.
• 37:45
  Speaker 9: Maybe she needs to meet the kid from Duke and say, listen,
• 37:50
  Speaker 9: these moments are going to be gone pretty soon.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Pretty soon. Anyway, I hope we have a happier Tuesday
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: than I've had this morning.
• 37:58
  Speaker 9: Good stuff, though.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Thank you.

• 38:05
  Speaker 10: I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
• 38:08
  Speaker 10: penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately,
• 38:13
  Speaker 10: for most hardworking Americans, This just isn't the case.
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 38:17
  Speaker 10: Because most people spend more time planning next weekend's getaway
• 38:21
  Speaker 10: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less in taxes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 10: My financial fitness team has put together some materials that
• 38:27
  Speaker 10: I know are going to help you. It's the tax

  Speaker 20: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 39:09
  Speaker 20: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 20: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 20: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 20: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 39:28
  Speaker 20: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 39:33
  Speaker 20: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 20: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 39:40
  Speaker 20: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 39:42
  Speaker 20: your hands and feet. Well, our products Ultimate nitric oxide
• 39:47

  Speaker 24: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:38
  Speaker 24: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 24: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 24: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 24: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 24: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 24: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 41:00
  Speaker 24: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

• 41:10
  Speaker 24: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
• 41:14
  Speaker 24: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 41:18
  Speaker 24: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for

• 42:06
  Speaker 8: you recognize them?
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: By their clothes, their age, the way they speak? Would
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: you notice a 16-year-old boy who got his first.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Job, not for extra spending money, but to help feed
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: his little sisters?
• 42:19
  Speaker 8: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes
• 42:22
  Speaker 8: to bed hungry so her kids can have dinner?
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: Or a 14-year-old girl who signs up to every after-school
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: activity not to make friends but just to get something
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: to eat. Or a retiree who fell ill and had.

  Speaker 8: I am the one in eight Americans who struggle with hunger.

  Speaker 21: Freedom of religion. Freedom of speech. Freedom of the press.

  Speaker 3: You guys, I love this song. I love these nachos.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: I love our kickball league. I love this guy. What's
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: your name? You know what I love? A ride when
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: it's time to head out.
• 43:47

  Speaker 2: On your to-do list, putting the radio on is the
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: first thing today.
• 44:30
  Speaker 9: He drops bombs. That's what you look him up for
• 44:34
  Speaker 9: on YouTube. The channel is Tom Drops Bombs there. And
• 44:40
  Speaker 9: an aficionado growing up in the hood. I believe it's
• 44:45
  Speaker 9: the Cuckoo Holly Hill. He knows it better. But I mean,
• 44:50
  Speaker 9: you're really... understands the urban lifestyle. Tom Garrett is on
• 44:55
  Speaker 9: with us.
• 44:56
  Speaker 14: Come on now. It's the Bumpus, Inez, Hollygrove, Cuckoo, Quad Cities, Metroplex.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 45:02
  Speaker 9: So you understand the urban lingo, and you understand Tupac
• 45:07
  Speaker 9: and Biggie and East Coast, West Coast, and all of that,
• 45:11
  Speaker 9: which I think helps you represent your community in Virginia's house,
• 45:16
  Speaker 9: especially in.
• 45:18
  Speaker 14: Two-pack where I grew up was a guy that didn't
• 45:21
  Speaker 14: have enough beagles.
• 45:25
  Speaker 9: That's all we got left now. Two-pack didn't have enough beagles.
• 45:34
  Speaker 9: All right. So I wanted to ask you about this.
• 45:39
  Speaker 14: I got one dog short of a two-pack.
• 45:44
  Speaker 9: And they let you guys go out in the woods
• 45:45
  Speaker 9: with firearms, right?
• 45:47
  Speaker 22: Okay.
• 45:48
  Speaker 26: All right.
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 45:50
  Speaker 14: I mean, there went Darwinism right there. If there were
• 45:53
  Speaker 14: anything to it, I wouldn't be talking to you right now.
• 45:55
  Speaker 9: This is why man invented orange vests. So a federal
• 46:01
  Speaker 9: federal judge ruled. And I know this is all the
• 46:06
  Speaker 9: cool kids on the left love to go and go
• 46:08
  Speaker 9: to their no kings protests. And no ICE, no kings,
• 46:13
  Speaker 9: no law at all kind of chanting.
• 46:15
  Speaker 14: They ought to just call them no constitution protests. If
• 46:17
  Speaker 14: they called them no constitution protests, then they'd be even happier.
• 46:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's true. Well, and because anarchy is what they want,
• 46:24
  Speaker 9: because that'll give the authoritarians all the ammunition they need,
• 46:28
  Speaker 9: pun intended. So a judge has ruled against these protest governments,
• 46:35
  Speaker 9: these counties and cities saying, we're not going to interact
• 46:40
  Speaker 9: with ICE. You know, because we've had it in this area,
• 46:44
  Speaker 9: Greene County's sheriff is in trouble about it and a
• 46:48
  Speaker 9: bunch of other ones because their politicians are like, we're
• 46:51
  Speaker 9: not going to corroborate with ICE and the governor and
• 46:54
  Speaker 9: that kind of thing.
• 46:55
  Speaker 14: No, what... Yeah, what the federal judge did, and this
• 46:58
  Speaker 14: is why that pesky old constitution got in the way again,
• 47:01
  Speaker 14: and they should be worried, given my Tupac knowledge or
• 47:05
  Speaker 14: lack thereof, that I was right. Because what the federal
• 47:10
  Speaker 14: judge said was the law that they passed that bars
• 47:13
  Speaker 14: interaction between localities and– ICE is unconstitutional and violates your
• 47:20
  Speaker 14: constitutional rights on a number of levels, including your right
• 47:22
  Speaker 14: to contract, because these localities have had historically the right
• 47:26
  Speaker 14: to contract with the federal government to do these sorts
• 47:28
  Speaker 14: of things. And even though we're a Dillon Rule state,
• 47:32
  Speaker 14: that they've gone a little bit too far there. But
• 47:35
  Speaker 14: the funny thing is, Joe, I think I stood up
• 47:39
  Speaker 14: and said this very clearly, and I was not alone.
• 47:42
  Speaker 14: There were other people saying, You can't do that. Hey, guys,
• 47:45
  Speaker 14: you can't do that. So what we have here and
• 47:47
  Speaker 14: the other thing that's cascading down, and I don't know
• 47:49
  Speaker 14: if you all talked about it on your show yet,
• 47:51
  Speaker 14: is the additional cost to the illegal ballot referendum that
• 47:55
  Speaker 14: they held just keep piling up. You know, the county
• 48:00
  Speaker 14: I'm sitting in, I think, spent about $ 70, 000 or beyond
• 48:04
  Speaker 14: what they were budgeted for Election Day itself. And, you know,
• 48:08
  Speaker 14: the state reimbursed them a fraction of that. And every
• 48:12
  Speaker 14: county in the state is coming in. If we're going
• 48:14
  Speaker 14: to grab a number out of thin air, it's something
• 48:16
  Speaker 14: like 20 to 25 percent of reimbursement. Now, the state
• 48:20
  Speaker 14: will not tell you that they wasted that money in
• 48:23
  Speaker 14: their unconstitutional power grab. But it's the same thing here.
• 48:26
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 48:26
  Speaker 14: I mean, I've never and this is not hyperbolic. I
• 48:28
  Speaker 14: have never seen any attorney general of any state in
• 48:32
  Speaker 14: any party get. routinely defeated in court again and again
• 48:37
  Speaker 14: and again so many times any governor beat routinely proven
• 48:41
  Speaker 14: wrong in her policy initiatives that people told her she
• 48:45
  Speaker 14: couldn't do again and again and again and there's a
• 48:48
  Speaker 14: price tag right there are millions upon millions of taxpayer
• 48:51
  Speaker 14: dollars being wasted to defend things that, you know, a
• 48:54
  Speaker 14: guy who thinks that a two-pack means somebody's only got
• 48:57
  Speaker 14: two beagles knew were wrong in January.
• 49:00
  Speaker 9: Well, this is something because their excuse seems to be
• 49:03
  Speaker 9: this is politicized. This is Trump's Department of Justice. This
• 49:08
  Speaker 9: is Trump's FBI. They have done what Alinsky said. You
• 49:14
  Speaker 9: personalize and then you polarize. But the rulings are are
• 49:20
  Speaker 9: not based on, well, Donald Trump told me, they're based
• 49:23
  Speaker 9: on what it's, as Martin Luther King said, what you
• 49:26
  Speaker 9: wrote down on paper.
• 49:28
  Speaker 14: Yeah, it's the Pesky constitution. So there are no King's rallies,
• 49:32
  Speaker 14: really are no constitution rallies. There are videos coming out now,
• 49:35
  Speaker 14: particularly of Democrat Socialists of America, In public, out loud, saying, well,
• 49:39
  Speaker 14: what we've got to do is get rid of the Constitution,
• 49:41
  Speaker 14: and then we can institute a utopia amongst mankind.
• 49:45
  Speaker 17: Oh, yeah.
• 49:45
  Speaker 14: Or whatever the heck the DSA calls it, trans kind,
• 49:48
  Speaker 14: or I don't know. Yeah, that doesn't work. c.s lewis
• 49:52
  Speaker 14: was exactly correct when he said man cannot be made
• 49:54
  Speaker 14: good by law and so too was adams and john
• 49:57
  Speaker 14: joe you could finish the quote yeah right that our
• 49:59
  Speaker 14: constitution is wholly adequate for moral and religious people and
• 50:02
  Speaker 14: entirely inadequate for any other paraphrased yeah no so these
• 50:06
  Speaker 14: guys they know everything you know nothing and as soon
• 50:08
  Speaker 14: as you know what's socialism anyway socialism is just a
• 50:11
  Speaker 14: word for communism before they take your guns away So.
• 50:15
  Speaker 9: Let's not forget communism. Marx really just put a smiley
• 50:19
  Speaker 9: face on authoritarian dictatorship. He said, well, these dictators fail
• 50:23
  Speaker 9: because it's you know, it seems like it's just them
• 50:26
  Speaker 9: against the world. He said, what if we made people
• 50:29
  Speaker 9: feel like they had a say in the dictatorship and
• 50:32
  Speaker 9: then and then they'd win?
• 50:36
  Speaker 14: You got it. So it's how you package the lie, right? Oh,
• 50:39
  Speaker 14: we're going to make everything good, everything fair. You got
• 50:42
  Speaker 14: to trust us to do it. And you got to
• 50:43
  Speaker 14: trust us so much that you really wish everything, including
• 50:47
  Speaker 14: your private privacy, your right to defend yourself and your family.
• 50:52
  Speaker 9: And you can vote for it. And we'll ask you
• 50:54
  Speaker 9: to vote in favor of it.
• 50:56
  Speaker 14: It's eerily similar to you will own nothing and you
• 50:58
  Speaker 14: will be happy, right? Which was a recurring sentiment a year.
• 51:01
  Speaker 8: Or two ago. Yeah.
• 51:03
  Speaker 9: Well, and that's, but that's the thing. And we were
• 51:05
  Speaker 9: actually talking about Marks and Engels, Florida, just the Department
• 51:10
  Speaker 9: of Transportation has just said, you know, capitulating to pop culture.
• 51:15
  Speaker 9: And I know you and I disagree about flock cameras
• 51:18
  Speaker 9: there in an abstract. I think we, you know, at
• 51:21
  Speaker 9: the end of the day, we agree that, you know,
• 51:23
  Speaker 9: people shouldn't be surveilled. And the fix may be how
• 51:26
  Speaker 9: we disagree about it. But Florida banned the flock cameras.
• 51:30
  Speaker 9: Their Department of Transportation said we're going to stop using it.
• 51:33
  Speaker 9: And I said, you know, this is like blaming the
• 51:36
  Speaker 9: printing press because Marx and Engels were able to print
• 51:41
  Speaker 9: a communist manifesto that's killed how many hundreds of millions
• 51:44
  Speaker 9: of people over its existence as a political dogma, Tom?
• 51:50
  Speaker 14: Yeah, well, but let me ask you this, because now
• 51:52
  Speaker 14: I'm confused and I did a good job of not
• 51:54
  Speaker 14: interrupting you for a change. Hats it to Elaine. And
• 51:58
  Speaker 14: you know who she is, even if your listeners don't.
• 52:00
  Speaker 14: She said I interrupted you. Do you do you like
• 52:04
  Speaker 14: flock cameras?
• 52:06
  Speaker 9: They're cameras. I mean, they exist. It's it's what the
• 52:09
  Speaker 9: people do with them. It's the morality of the people
• 52:11
  Speaker 9: who operate them. And we have a constitution that dictates
• 52:15
  Speaker 9: how you can do it. I said this to a
• 52:17
  Speaker 9: fellow the other day. I want law enforcement to have
• 52:20
  Speaker 9: to get a warrant every time they look at any
• 52:22
  Speaker 9: footage from a flock camera. And the guy's like, oh,
• 52:25
  Speaker 9: that couldn't work. I said, well, then guess what? There'll
• 52:28
  Speaker 9: be a lot less law enforcement officers looking at flock
• 52:31
  Speaker 9: cameras because they don't want to go through the process
• 52:33
  Speaker 9: of getting a warrant. I hold the Fourth Amendment above
• 52:36
  Speaker 9: everything else. And so, you know, and that's just my
• 52:40
  Speaker 9: particular pedantic view of flock cameras. Technology is technology. It's
• 52:45
  Speaker 9: going to exist. And I won't hang on to that
• 52:48
  Speaker 9: thought one second there.
• 52:51
  Speaker 29: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:55
  Speaker 29: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 19: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
• 53:00
  Speaker 19: was no hassle.
• 53:01
  Speaker 14: There was no problem.
• 53:02
  Speaker 29: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:05
  Speaker 29: of such an incredible ministry.
• 53:07
  Speaker 30: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
• 53:11
  Speaker 30: share each other's medical expenses.
• 53:13
  Speaker 28: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick.
• 53:17
  Speaker 6: With you through the hardest times of your life.
• 53:20
  Speaker 30: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old,
• 53:25
  Speaker 30: and members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
• 53:28
  Speaker 30: medical bills.
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: You can focus in on supporting other people.
• 53:33
  Speaker 6: MediShare is affordable.
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: MediShare is biblical. MediShare is family.
• 53:37

• 53:40
  Speaker 30: your health care and support your family when you need it.
