  Speaker 3: And we'll do it live.
• 0:09
  Speaker 4: Joe works hard to steal me up. He's damn near
• 0:12
  Speaker 4: every day. Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: Drops a kid to school and I'm away. Joe has

  Speaker 4: everything he dreamed of. All the treasures that he needs.

  Speaker 6: I want to be your Joe.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: So we gather together each Saturday morning. Well, we do
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: this every morning during the week. It's a Monday through
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Friday affair, but some of you folks only get to
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: hang out with us on the weekends, and that's fine.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Any time is a good time. And our friends at
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Long Island News Radio, as well as The Right Talk
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: for Vegas, joining the family this morning. 106.9 FM KVGQ,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: putting us on so that, you know, the folks getting
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: up at this hour in Vegas, or is it just
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: going to bed? And having done this program many, many
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: times from Las Vegas, I can tell you this time
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: of the morning, 5 a.m., is really interesting. Now, we
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: will come down to, whether it's Freedom Fest or the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Consumer Electronics Show or wherever it is, we'll get up
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: at 11 p.m., which is 2 a.m. Eastern Seaboard time,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: so I can begin preparing. And then we start the
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: show at 2 a.m. Las Vegas time. That's hopping. If
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you have to walk through one of the casinos to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: get to the conference center you're broadcasting from, that's fun.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: That's fun there. And, you know, still going when we
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: wrap up. So it's neat to be part of that
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: zeitgeist for Vegas at 106.9 FM. I remember there's a— and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: it's still there. It's next to— it used to be called Bally's.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: When we were there for Freedom Fest, I realized it's
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: got a new name now. It was the MGM for years,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and now it's been rebranded something cooler and hipper than Bally's.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And we were walking past there. And right across one
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of the side streets, this is a low slung place.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And the first time I was in Las Vegas, it
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: said $ 1 hot dogs and $ 1 beers. And I said,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that's where I'm going for lunch. And so we went down.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I had a couple of hot dogs, had a couple
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of beers. And it was all the guys who work
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and the gals who work. For the hotels and for
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the banks, Wells Fargo is a big part of Vegas.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: You forget that whole connection to Wells Fargo and the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: other parts of Vegas that don't have to do with
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Frank Sinatra and Elvis and Dice. And I guess George
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Clooney and Brad Pitt have written themselves in there a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: little bit. There as well, but very neat to be there.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And thank you for letting us be of service to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you this Saturday morning. Call us at 434-882-4217. Here are
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the stories we're getting into this morning. Two decades after U.S.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: authorities arrested Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, folks are still complaining about
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the fact that the military tribunal for his alleged masterminding
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: of the September 11, 2001 attacks will not happen until
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: early 2028, and many lawyers are still trying to get
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: him tried in a civilian court. Meanwhile, yesterday at the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: 25th anniversary ceremony in New York, an awkward moment was
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: captured on film. As mayor of New York at the time,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Rudolph Giuliani shared a handshake and some words with current
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: New York Mayor Zorhan Mamdani. Giuliani told the press that
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: he decided to shake Mamdani's hand because refusing to acknowledge
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: him would have distracted from the occasion. Pete Hegseth used
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the 25th anniversary to remind Americans that eternal vigilance is
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the price we pay for being free. You see, on
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: that day, many Americans were ignorant of the Islamist threat
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that we face. Attorney General Todd Blanch said the 9-11
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: victim compensation fund has given out almost $ 19 billion since
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: it began. As victims continue to surface, including now former
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: New York State Governor George Pataki, who said he is
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: suffering the same mesothelioma that claimed many of the folks,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: especially the firefighters who responded there. Saudi Arabia said Friday
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: it has shut down a major oil pipeline after it
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: was attacked by drones as a precautionary measure. The Iranian-backed
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Houthi rebels out of Yemen are claiming responsibility for the strike. Meanwhile,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: diesel prices, diesel fuel in the U.S., according to AAA's surveys,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: is averaging $ 6. 06 a gallon. Controversial $ 5, 000 dividend checks came
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: out of the speeches during the RNC convention. Dividends for
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: American adults. Howard Lutnick, Commerce Secretary, out explaining it yesterday,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: saying the administration would tap potential revenue from a new
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: visa program for wealthy foreigners to pay the money, saying
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that that's not tax money that's going to be used.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Those are our first things this morning. And I want
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to thank our friends at Mesa Verde Hemp. They were
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: a big help for our trip to Shanksville. My wife
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: had a fall several weeks ago, and her back's been
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: just not right since. But the CBD oil that they
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: make out at MesaVerde.com has really helped her through it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: And this studio we were using, we need a new
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: table because it's a picnic table. Meant to be sat
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: at and not stood next to. It's about foot too short,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: so my lower back is screaming at me as well.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: So find out more about what they make there at MesaVerdeHemp.com.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: And our friends at JCSGold.com have been tracking the fact
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that gold and silver are up this morning. And you
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: can find that out at JCSGold.com. Gold at $ 43. 48 and $ 0.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: 80.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Silver at $ 64. 48. At Hot Shot Secret, we listen to

  Speaker 6: Ford F-350 Power Stroke. I've been using Hot Shot Secret
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: EDT every day for almost three years, and I've seen

  Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
• 8:51
  Speaker 9: cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com where we help you to
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: look good, feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 10: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 10: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 10: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 10: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 11: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 12: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 12: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 12: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 12: but also their tireless work ethic.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Just look at the.
• 10:08
  Speaker 12: Birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 12: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 12: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:17
  Speaker 12: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 12: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 12: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 12: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 12: but because of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving
• 10:33
  Speaker 12: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 12: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 12: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 12: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 12: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:47
  Speaker 12: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 12: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 12: planet we inhabit together. Go to americanhumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 13: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 14: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 13: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: Heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 13: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
• 11:15
  Speaker 13: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
• 11:18
  Speaker 13: call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 15: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: protection agency.
• 12:29
  Speaker 16: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 16: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 16: going through changes.
• 12:36
  Speaker 17: Things like withdrawing, drinking.
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: More, or increased anger could be a sign of a
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: larger health concern.
• 12:43
  Speaker 17: But help is available.
• 12:46
  Speaker 18: Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories at maketheconnection.net and learn
• 12:51
  Speaker 18: how you can support the veterans in your life.
• 12:54
  Speaker 15: Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: This is Independence from Virginia. Again, first thing today by
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: You know what they say at the Guitar Center, if
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: it ain't Baroque, don't fix it. Not to, you know,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: and I'm not putting things in rear view mirrors, but
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: we live in the now, and this is one of
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the reasons I apologize sometimes to you that I don't
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: spend as much time as others do on anniversaries, commemorations, landmarks,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Certainly there are holidays for their
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: place in the here and now Christmases, Rosh Hashanahs, and Thanksgivings,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But Christmas of the mind, beginning
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: next week, and this includes you guys as well to
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a degree, I feel bad for our friends at Long
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Island News Radio, Trans-Siberian Orchestra not playing on Long Island radio,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: This year, they're going to be in Newark for their
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: New York metropolitan area show. And so I don't think
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: we have. Let me pull up my list. So last year,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: we invented something out of whole cloth because we had
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: never done a national program before. But I've been good
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: friends with the folks at Trans-Siberian Orchestra since they became orchestra.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: So I sent the folks at Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Nightcastle
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Management a list of all the places where there are
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: radio stations that carry this program. And they said, absolutely,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: let's give you tickets to all the shows where you're
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: heard because they just announced the tour dates. Now, I
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: do have to check something because now with our friends
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: in Las Vegas, we may have to tweak that, because
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I do believe they are playing Las Vegas. I just
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: have to figure out when, where there, but all kinds
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: of places, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Portland, Oregon, Salt Lake City,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: and here in our flagship city of Stanton, Charlottesville, they're
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: coming back to central Virginia for a show there, Sacramento, California, Youngstown, Ohio, Chicago, St. Augustine,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the oldest city in America, Tampa, for our friends out there.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: And I don't know who's got us on the weekend
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: schedule or not. Colorado Springs, we've got tickets for that
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: show as well. Do we know about TSO on? No,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go to those ticket broker places.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I just want to see, go to TSO's website. Don't
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: go to all those places.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: No.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: That's like, they'll get you 15 bucks just for logging
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: in there. But going off all over the place, tickets
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: went on sale for the fan club on Thursday of
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: last week. And, you know, for the rest of us,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: it's Thursday of this coming week. And so we'll have
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: tickets to give away to a whole bunch of these places.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: They kick off. in Green Bay with two shows on
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: November 19th. They're also in Council Bluffs, Iowa. They'll be
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. Find out, though, if they're doing that early
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: show for our friends at Youngstown. So we've got to
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: get on the Youngstown tickets. And how we do this
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: is we'll be giving away the tickets as the shows
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: get closer. We'll have a bunch of tickets in the
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: next week or two to give away to you before
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: you can ever buy them unless you're already a fan
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: club member. And this is just one of those things
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: that my wife and I can't get into the Christmas
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: spirit without going to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra. And we've been lucky.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: They've been in the Ripes one year. I think one
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: year the show was actually before Thanksgiving. And it still
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: worked for us. We were concerned that it was just
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: too early to get into the Christmas spirit. And we
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: went there and it worked anyway. Charleston, oh yeah, we've
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: got new friends in in West Virginia. We've got to
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: mention that too. Las Vegas, December 4th at the Michelob
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Ultra Arena. They're going to be there 7 p.m. on
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: December 4th. So, you know, we've got to mention we're
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: on in Vegas now. When we sent the list, this
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: is months ago, because these things don't happen by accident.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: It's like the Mike Tyson quote from it. You have
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: to have a plan until somebody punches you in the face.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: And then You have to be able to come up
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: with a new plan or make that other plan work
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: for it. But stay tuned. JoeThomasInTheMorning.com as a website as well.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: So if you're listening to us in Vegas right now,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: and it's going to be until next Saturday when you
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: get to hear us. By the way, we're available four

  Speaker 1: want to tell them, hey, Joe's there each morning. It's
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: at 2 a.m. 2 a.m. We can chat. No extra
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: charge for the weekday program. That's right. No upcharge. It's
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: not a special Insiders Club, but for everyone, there'll be
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a place at JoeThomasInTheMorning.com for you to enter for these
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: tickets to the shows wherever our voices are heard. And
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: we'll do drawings as the shows approach. But you'll be
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: able to enter to win. We'll do a week's worth
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: of win them before you can buy them. And for
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: those on Long Island News Radio, they remember the days
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: when JT was the promotions director out there, you know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: giving away tickets to Jones Beach Amphitheater. You'll pay for
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge. So
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Carnival Barker is a funny, you know, The only time
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: my life was ever threatened for anything I had done
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: on the air, for all the political stuff, for all
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: of the political party stuff, the conservative analysts. the controversial
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: stands on things, the libertarian stands on things, the brutal
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: pursuit of the Bill of Rights, the brutal opposition to
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Barack Obama and his new Bill of Rights, rights to housing,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: rights to understanding John Locke and his You point that
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: you can't have a right to something that requires someone
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: to do services for you, that kind of thing. For
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, for my battles with the protesters and
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: the rioters here in our flagship city of Charlottesville, I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: felt nervous that my life was in peril because I
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: wasn't going along with the, quote, unite the right, because
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I made it very clear I didn't believe they were, quote,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the right people. They weren't conservatives. They were just dumpster
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: arsonists trying to make a point for themselves. But all
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: that being said, the only time my life was ever
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: seriously threatened by a listener was when they thought I
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: screwed them out of Aerosmith concert tickets. Now, granted, to
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: be fair, it is Aerosmith. But somebody said that I
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: heard their voice and then determined that I didn't want
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: to give them the tickets and hung up on them,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: which wasn't the case. But threats were made and police
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: tapping phone lines and things like that. So the things
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: that we count important that can happen to us. But
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: we still give away concert tickets, something not every talk
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: show host spends any time doing. But Trans-Siberian Orchestra is transcendental.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: And if you ever feel like you're not getting in
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the Christmas spirit or you just feel like you don't
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: groove on the commercialism and all that of the Christmas spirit,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: or maybe you're just one of those rockers that never
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: got into Mariah Carey at Christmastime. This is for you.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Just enter to win. There'll be a site up there
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: next week for us at JoeThomasInTheMorning.com and our friends at
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the Trans-Siberian Orchestra coming to a city near us.
• 22:01
  Speaker 19: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
• 22:05
  Speaker 19: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
• 22:08
  Speaker 19: at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a
• 22:11
  Speaker 19: week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes does
• 22:15
  Speaker 19: not need to be super intense. As a matter of fact,
• 22:17
  Speaker 19: it could just be you moving your body and doing
• 22:19
  Speaker 19: what you already love to do, like exercise. And a
• 22:22
  Speaker 19: stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right? It means also
• 22:26
  Speaker 19: infusing your workout routines with strength training as well. So
• 22:29
  Speaker 19: we are super excited to be launching our new plate-loaded
• 22:33

  Speaker 20: For decades, America's offshore oil industry has relied on Port Fouchon, Louisiana.
• 23:01
  Speaker 20: But now, as wind energy continues to grow, many of
• 23:05
  Speaker 20: these vessels, these companies, these people are building and servicing
• 23:09
  Speaker 20: the offshore wind industry. Moving equipment, installing turbines, transporting crews.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: It's a huge opportunity, and we're proud to be.
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: A part of that.
• 23:17
  Speaker 19: U.S.
• 23:17
  Speaker 16: Offshore Wind has already announced over $ 25 billion in infrastructure investments.

• 23:35

• 24:03
  Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 9: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 9: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: from radiation. TotalWellness.com where we help you to look good,
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.

  Speaker 10: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 25:21

• 25:29

  Speaker 7: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: May I help you, sir?
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: Two Whoppers, two Whopper Juniors, and four Coca-Cola.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: And would I have to wait long if you made
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: one Whopper with no pickle and no lettuce?
• 28:27
  Speaker 19: No, sir.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce.
• 28:30
  Speaker 16: Special orders don't upset us.
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: All we ask is that you let us serve it
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: your way.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: You know, and back in the 70s, you know, all
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: the prehistoric Beavises and buttheads, she said, hold the pickle.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: But text message from Dan who said, funniest thing I've
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: heard in weeks, the Big Mac as health food, especially
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: liked when you said that only if Pfizer got the
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: contract to make the special sauce. Well, you know. And
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: if you're missing us, joining us in progress, the point
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I was making is that this rebranding of Hamas as
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: a poor, marginalized community just trying to get a little
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: something for itself is akin to having the Big Mac
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: branded as health food. I'm Bobby Ketney, and I believe
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: you should eat these Big Macs more, at least three
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: times a day. And then would it be too far
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: to imagine that the special sauce would be contracted by Pfizer?
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Tony Fauci. I'm Tony Fauci. And the one thing I
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: will say is that the Big Mac is health food.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: It's safe and effective to help fight cholesterol. Whatever it is,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: it could be a video of Tony Fauci pleading the
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: fifth a million times. Hi, I'm Tony Fauci. The one
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: thing I will make a statement on is. Because, you know,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: thinking that Hamas are just a plucky bunch of kids
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: who are just trying to get some rights for themselves
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: is perhaps the fruit of a community that has taken
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: the Ten Commandments off our walls and we have forgotten
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: about thou shalt not murder. And never minding what they
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: do for the Muslims that live in this country that
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: don't want to cause trouble. This ignorance, there's a couple
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: of stories about our inability now, 25 years since the
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: September 11th attacks, to address the thing that drove the attacks.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: And Zutty Jasser is perhaps one of the best voices
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: in this. He says time and time again, there needs
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: A shift amongst those. And because there is no Pope,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: there is no, you've got three sects of followers of
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Muhammad that kill each other at as much of a
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: pace as they kill the infidel. Fairly, if you don't
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: believe in the Quran the way they want you to,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: you're the infidel too. And there's an American way we
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: can deal with this. And it is the reason we
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: go to Flight 93. Because you can't stop somebody from
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: believing something. We went through that in the communist witch
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: hunts of the 50s. You can't stop somebody from believing something.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: You can try to show them how they've been fooled.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: But people are allowed to believe what they can believe
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: in this country. It's just when you try to invoke
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: that on someone else, that's where the wall is. That's
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: when you have to stop. And we don't have the
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: intestinal fortitude because smart lawyers who are almost as smart
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: as the advertising executives that have rebranded Hamas as a
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: plucky little marginalized community their lawyers are more smart because
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: every time they kill somebody, their lawyer says, yes, but
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: that's what their religion says to do, so therefore your
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: religious freedom has to protect our murder. It's why they
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: want Khalid Sheikh Mohammed tried in a civilian court, so
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: that they can claim religious freedom. First Amendment protection says,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: My religion says I can kill you. Therefore, you can't
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: tell me I can't kill people. If you follow that mania.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: And we have political elected officials who they don't want
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: to address it. They don't want to get caught in
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: the morass because they live in the world of 10
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: and 15 second sound bites. And they know that if
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: they get into a legitimate conversation like you and I
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: are having, the 15 second sound bite is not going
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: to be representative of what they actually said.
• 33:24
  Speaker 22: Period.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: We'll have a look at J.D. Vance's speech from Thursday
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: night at the RNC convention. Kareem is hanging on the line,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: not driving this morning. He's put the truck in the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: parking lot and is having a cup of coffee with
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: us this morning. How are you doing this morning, sir?
• 33:43
  Speaker 22: I'm doing well, Joe. Thanks for having me on. Tell
• 33:46
  Speaker 22: you what, right now I'm thinking about Las Vegas and
• 33:50
  Speaker 22: that news station is picking up your Saturday show.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: It's an interesting town. I told the story of going
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: to this place, and I forget what it's called, but
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: it's right next to the old MGM. It used to
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: be Bally's more recently than that. It's got a new
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: name now. But there's this little, it's one story. It's
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: got a parking lot around it, and I happened to
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: see it out of my hotel room. And, you know,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: food for the hotel guests is very expensive, and I'm
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: on a budget. I'm a girl on a budget. So
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: when I saw $ 1 hot dogs and $ 1 beers, I said,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: show me the money. I can afford that. So I
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: went down and splurged at two hot dogs and two beers,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: but I was sitting with so many people, HVAC, folks
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: who worked in the casinos, food service, electricians. This bar
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: was just full of the regular people of Las Vegas,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: and it was so cool to hang out with. It
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: was years and years ago, but I was there just
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: last this past summer in the bar, restaurant, whatever is
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: still there. I think it's four dollars for a beer,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: four dollars for a hot dog. But it's still a
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: good deal for Vegas prices. But what were you thinking about?
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Do you do you get out there at all or.
• 35:09
  Speaker 22: I've been out there one time delivering cars. That's a
• 35:12
  Speaker 22: story by itself. But Joe, you're amongst real people. And
• 35:16
  Speaker 22: I'm thinking recently that we've had this, we've had several
• 35:21
  Speaker 22: blue run states that have been, self-identifying, cleaning the voter
• 35:26
  Speaker 22: rolls to a certain extent. We had two, Virginia's and
• 35:30
  Speaker 22: New Jersey, admit to having illegal immigrants, invaders, whatever you
• 35:35
  Speaker 22: want to call them, not only getting a driver's license,
• 35:38
  Speaker 22: but acknowledging that they are not citizens and then voting,
• 35:42
  Speaker 22: both states, but their numbers are only 6,600 or 6,500 each.
• 35:47
  Speaker 22: Clark County, just Clark County in April, Blue County purged 100,000
• 35:54
  Speaker 22: voters or set them aside as inactive. The state recently
• 35:58
  Speaker 22: did 400,000 names set aside. But bridge our focus on
• 36:03
  Speaker 22: Clark County and Las Vegas, that 100,000 voters they set aside,
• 36:07
  Speaker 22: the election between Harris and Trump was only decided by
• 36:11
  Speaker 22: about 30,000.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is significant. And that is moderately controversial in
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Clark County because it is one of those battleground counties
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: for this shadow workforce that I've talked about, this civil
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: war that's rekindling, the same one from 1861, this same
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: civil war over the same issue, a permanent underclass, servant
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: class that does stuff that, quote, Americans don't want to do. like,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I guess, bus tables at a casino restaurant. And they
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: always leave out the part for the rates we are
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: willing to pay for this. And maybe we're heading towards
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: a battle royale over what we pay people in this
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: country versus what the worth is to it. Do you think, Kareem?
• 37:09
  Speaker 22: Honestly, Joe, I think everybody's underpaid.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Well, excuse me. I think 99% of the population is underpaid.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing, and I always worry when government officials,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: because I don't want it to be, I want it
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: to be that one-on-one relationship. And we've talked about this,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I think the day after Labor Day we spoke about this,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: is that work is a relationship just like dating, just
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: like marriage, and we don't treat it that way. We
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: treat it like some sort of mystical, you know, like
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: arranged marriage kind of thing that the government has to
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: get involved with. And our relationships with our employers have
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: been so retarded by the government regulations and things like that.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know what half the jobs technically should pay.

• 38:10
  Speaker 13: heart and brain health. Heart disease still kills more people
• 38:13
  Speaker 13: in the United States each year than all types of
• 38:15
  Speaker 13: cancer combined, but more than half of Americans are unaware
• 38:18
  Speaker 13: of this fact, according to a recent Harris Poll survey
• 38:21
  Speaker 13: conducted for the American Heart Association. However, the majority of
• 38:25
  Speaker 13: heart disease is preventable. New research has improved the prevention, diagnosis,
• 38:30
  Speaker 13: and treatment of heart disease and its risk factors. Efforts
• 38:33
  Speaker 13: led by the American Heart Association have reduced deaths from
• 38:36
  Speaker 13: heart disease by half over the past century. and helped
• 38:39

  Speaker 16: Exercise is hard, so is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 16: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 16: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 16: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 16: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:22
  Speaker 16: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 16: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  Speaker 16: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:33
  Speaker 16: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,

  Speaker 2: Talk Media Network.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Is that how you feel? Is that what's going on?
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Because it seems like, and this is the dangerous world
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: that the AOCs and the Bernie Sanders traffic in. This
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: is the This is the place where they're making their hay,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: is the idea that nobody cares about you, as if
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: someone else is supposed to do that. And we've allowed
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: our business community, through regulation, to get smaller and smaller,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: so there are fewer and fewer choices. I've said this before,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: and I'll say it again. If we could save a
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: fortune in government aid money, To the working poor. What
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: are they called? Alice now. Asset limited. Employed. Income constrained.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Asset limited. Income constrained. Employed. Alice. Alice don't live here
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: no more. And I understand it. I get it.
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: But.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: The target is the small business owner who's already being
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: targeted by the regulations that are squeezing them out in
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: exchange for the big corporations who love the regulations. More regulations,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: the better. They just fold them in. They've got a
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: whole division designed to deal with them. But if you
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: take the Marxists... answer, which is screw them. They don't
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: care about me. You know why they don't care about you?
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: They don't have to. It's the same reason Zorhan Mandani
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: and AOC can share a belly laugh at the 9-11
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: ceremonies yesterday. They know they don't need to care about
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: you because there's no loss in it if they do.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Because that's just what we get motivated by. We get
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: motivated by making sure our self-interests are looked out for. You, me,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: The people you work for, they all have them. And
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: the bigger the corporations, the more likely it is that
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: a large number of Americans work for people who, A,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: don't know why they do what they do. Therefore, they
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: can't inspire people to do what they do for them.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: This is one of the reasons the office was such
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: a runaway hit, both in England and in the United States.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Because these were people who had no idea what they
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: were doing, why they were doing it. I could walk
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: into the paper company in Scranton, Pennsylvania, wearing my Joe
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Biden pin, and straighten that company up in five seconds.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: You know why you do what you do? Because people
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: need paper.
• 47:40
  Speaker 22: Huh?
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: It's just crazy. Kareem was on the phone. You got
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: me triggered there, Kareem.
• 47:49
  Speaker 22: Joe, I agree with you, and I can't tell you
• 47:51
  Speaker 22: how long, how many decades I have agreed to that
• 47:54
  Speaker 22: very point. I treat work like an intimate relationship. And
• 47:59
  Speaker 22: just like you said, arranged marriage. It's not what you know, it's.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Who you know.
• 48:05
  Speaker 22: You go through an employer, you've been there for 30 years.
• 48:07
  Speaker 22: You can go through the ranks up to a certain point.
• 48:10
  Speaker 22: You can get an increase in pay and salary. But
• 48:13
  Speaker 22: if you leave and then come back with more experience,
• 48:15
  Speaker 22: you get a higher, typically a higher rate. They don't
• 48:18
  Speaker 22: Adjust your age to go with your experience through the
• 48:20
  Speaker 22: company or faithfulness. But I do agree, Joe, people don't
• 48:25
  Speaker 22: treat it like a shit.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: It's you know, but it's an interesting point that you
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: talk about when you because you're describing a relationship that
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: is not holistic. You know, I'm just going through the ranks.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm climbing the corporate ladder or whatever. That's not
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: the essence of work. The essence of employment is, I believe,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: in whatever company X does. And therefore, I want to
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: help company X do that. And when it becomes just
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: I'm a number on a piece of paper, that's when
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: we've lost a piece of this. And the American business
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: landscape is just as much to blame. I mean, it's
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: not one side or another. And I think that we
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: need to fix this organically. as much as we need
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: to just make sure people make more money. And when
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: you talk about, you know, that it's not what you know,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: it's who you know. One of the problems in our
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: world right now, I don't disagree with that statement. I
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: think there's nothing wrong with that statement. No better people.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: When each one of my kids have hit me with
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: that statement, I'm sure you've said it too. Yeah.
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: So no better people. No people that will make you better.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: No people that will be in places. And guess what?
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: There's no magic formula for it. There's no book you
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: can get at Barnes and Noble. There's no name tag.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: They don't walk around saying a person who's better for you.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of folks who have invested a
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: lot of time in their careers only to find out
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: the person they were trying to climb the ladder with
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: was now on the outs. And they didn't cultivate enough
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: flexibility in their relationships. So all of a sudden it
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: became a problem for them because they had hitched their
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: wagon to one person. You need to know people. Know everybody.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: If somebody's working in the world, there's no reason. Do
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: you want to know how I met one of the
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: main drivers behind Thomas Media, aside from obviously me and
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: my wife? Doing charity golf tournaments, helping support the sheriff's department,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: supporting things. I had no idea. And then one day
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: he said, you want to do this? Sure, here, do this.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: I didn't politic for it. I didn't go out and
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: try to curry favor. You just do good work. There's
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: no mathematical equation to how long it takes. It takes
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: how long it takes. And I'm sorry if that sounds like.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: But it just is what it is. There is no...
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: And maybe that's part of the problem, is we've decided
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: that maybe there's a magic formula, some book, some, you know,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: seven habits of highly wealthy people or, you know, who
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: cut my cheese or whatever it may be. Anyway, I
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: appreciate it, my friend, and thank you for the call.
• 51:55
  Speaker 22: Especially when you have a big, large business. We can
• 51:58
  Speaker 22: look at an example of ECW Wrestling. They were not
• 52:01
  Speaker 22: getting paid by on-demand pay-per-view, and the CEO of on-demand
• 52:05
  Speaker 22: pay-per-view told ECW, I know you're in financial troubles, and
• 52:09
  Speaker 22: I'm withholding it. And you can go look at Paul
• 52:12
  Speaker 22: Heyman's multiple interviews on this topic, especially if that was
• 52:17
  Speaker 22: a large business with a lot of trustees. It's just
• 52:20
  Speaker 22: helping to tip or nudge the small business into bankruptcy. Joe,
• 52:24
  Speaker 22: thank you for taking my call.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: You have a great day. Always thoughtful. You have a
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: good morning, Kareem.
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: Thanks.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: And thank you for joining us. Hamp out on the
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Treasure Coast this morning. Joe in Crozet says, keep the
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Valium closed. I don't feel particularly hyped up. Yesterday, I
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: was a little wound up. Yesterday, as the Mike Tyson yee,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: you get punched in the face. But we had a
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: plan until Monday. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
• 52:51
  Speaker 13: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  Speaker 13: compression of spinal nerves, according to Dr. Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  Speaker 13: California-based chiropractor with more than 30 years of experience. This
• 53:01
  Speaker 13: compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury, or
• 53:05
  Speaker 13: simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:09
  Speaker 13: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:12
  Speaker 13: the neck and back, Dr. Fisher explains. His inventions, the
• 53:16
  Speaker 13: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device,
• 53:20
  Speaker 13: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:24
  Speaker 13: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
• 53:27
  Speaker 13: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:30
  Speaker 13: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:33
  Speaker 13: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:36
  Speaker 13: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home.
• 53:38
