Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: We'll do it live.
- 0:03Speaker 2: Making mornings great again.
- 0:04Speaker 3: We'll do it live.
- 0:05Speaker 2: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 0:09Speaker 3: And we'll do it live. Joe works at the steel mill.
- 0:12Speaker 3: He's down here every day.
- 0:15Speaker 4: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
- 0:17Speaker 5: Drops the kids to school and all the work.
- 0:21Speaker 6: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
- 0:23Speaker 4: All the treasures that he needs.
- 0:25Speaker 7: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
- 0:28Speaker 8: He only aims.
- 0:29Speaker 7: To please you.
- 0:34Speaker 9: Bless you for letting me be of service to you
- 0:36Speaker 9: this Saturday morning.
- 0:39Speaker 3: I know, I know.
- 0:40Speaker 9: Paradigm shifting. Nobody wants to work on Saturday. Here I
- 0:43Speaker 9: am for you. Here I am for you because I
- 0:46Speaker 9: care that you know the real stuff. I don't care
- 0:50Speaker 9: if you follow me. I don't care if you do
- 0:53Speaker 9: what I say. I care that you know what's going
- 0:55Speaker 9: on and.
- 0:56Speaker 3: Then follow whatever the hell you want.
- 1:01Speaker 9: And, you know, we'll tell you the stories that I
- 1:03Speaker 9: think have impact. I'll tell you stories that you may
- 1:05Speaker 9: not even have heard about, but I believe have impact
- 1:09Speaker 9: in greater sense. And such is the case of the
- 1:12Speaker 9: attempted suicide, Carrot Top. Apparently attempted suicide. He's in the hospital.
- 1:20Speaker 9: Luxor canceled the show out there. And obviously, you know,
- 1:24Speaker 9: this is a breaking story. Not necessarily... you know, impactful
- 1:29Speaker 9: on you this moment. But it's a bigger question because
- 1:34Speaker 9: our kids are committing suicide at a breakneck pace. Our
- 1:41Speaker 9: soldiers are coming back from theater committing suicide at breakneck pace.
- 1:48Speaker 10: Why?
- 1:50Speaker 9: When you look around, I mean, it's one thing to
- 1:52Speaker 9: go to Darfur and those people aren't committing suicide. How
- 1:57Speaker 9: is it people in an abject— you don't see the Uyghurs
- 2:02Speaker 9: committing suicide, and this, to their chagrin, China must kill
- 2:07Speaker 9: them because we can't get them to kill themselves.
- 2:10Speaker 3: So what are we doing? What is happening?
- 2:13Speaker 9: What is Kirk Cobain and these famous people who seem
- 2:18Speaker 9: to have, or at least we would think on this
- 2:21Speaker 9: consumption end of it, everything they could want? Carrot Top
- 2:25Speaker 9: has created a brand that's gone on forever. Isn't brand
- 2:29Speaker 9: identity a big deal? Isn't that what it's all about?
- 2:34Speaker 9: Apparently not where he was. We don't know all the
- 2:38Speaker 9: details of the story, but we have a collection of
- 2:42Speaker 9: folks who have either intentionally taken their own lives or
- 2:47Speaker 9: have done the risky behaviors like James Dean or that
- 2:51Speaker 9: eventually wound up in their lives ending prematurely, maybe.
- 2:57Speaker 3: Remember, you don't get to know the time of your departure.
- 3:01Speaker 9: It's not like Harry Reid International Airport where, you know,
- 3:07Speaker 9: you look at the thing and you guess, are they
- 3:09Speaker 9: telling me the truth about when my flight is leaving
- 3:11Speaker 9: or do they just not want me to get home?
- 3:13Speaker 9: You know, he didn't make it home in time.
- 3:17Speaker 3: He didn't make his connection, did he? I mean, that
- 3:20Speaker 3: would be.
- 3:21Speaker 9: Every time I see that sign for Harry Reid Memorial Airport,
- 3:24Speaker 9: I look at the departure signs there and I'm like,
- 3:27Speaker 9: are you telling me the truth or you just want
- 3:29Speaker 9: me to miss my connection?
- 3:31Speaker 3: He didn't make his connection, did he?
- 3:34Speaker 9: President Trump announced Friday an agreement between Denmark and Greenland
- 3:38Speaker 9: and the United States. We'll pause for a moment to
- 3:41Speaker 9: allow the leftists to finish eating their crow. This was
- 3:44Speaker 9: the same deal that President Trump said he was working
- 3:47Speaker 9: on when the left went nutty on the whole idea
- 3:51Speaker 9: and went and tried to convince the Danish population of
- 3:54Speaker 9: Greenland that he was trying to come in and subjugate
- 3:58Speaker 9: them all and make them, I don't know, busboys at
- 4:00Speaker 9: some Trump casino. President Trump on Friday signed into, and
- 4:06Speaker 9: when does that mea culpa get issued? When does the
- 4:10Speaker 9: media come back to Greenland and say, we're sorry, we
- 4:13Speaker 9: were wrong? Friday, President Trump signed the bill that was
- 4:24Speaker 9: supported under Lindsey Graham's name to expand sanctions against Russia
- 4:29Speaker 9: in an effort to get the war in Ukraine ended. Meanwhile,
- 4:33Speaker 9: voting continues in Russia, their first parliamentary election since the
- 4:38Speaker 9: war began five years ago. And everyone says that once
- 4:42Speaker 9: Putin has managed to wrest a parliamentary support, he will
- 4:47Speaker 9: start to get aggressive with NATO countries. President Trump Friday
- 4:54Speaker 9: defended his decision to ban CNN, NS Now, and Politico
- 4:58Speaker 9: from the White House, saying, why would I support them?
- 5:01Speaker 9: They were bringing fake news. Federal judge blocked the creation
- 5:06Speaker 9: of the one point of the federal judge that blocked
- 5:09Speaker 9: the creation of the $ 1. 77 billion settlement between the IRS
- 5:14Speaker 9: and the Trump or Donald Trump himself personally for releasing
- 5:19Speaker 9: his tax returns publicly has been blocked again the lawsuit.
- 5:25Speaker 9: There was a request from the Trump administration to drop
- 5:29Speaker 9: the lawsuit because there is no more anti-weaponization fund. But
- 5:35Speaker 9: Judge Brinkma said the issues that underlie this case are
- 5:39Speaker 9: still alive and kicking in my view. And in-person voting
- 5:46Speaker 9: has already begun. South Dakota, Minnesota, Idaho, early absentee mail-in ballots,
- 5:52Speaker 9: and Virginians went to the polls for the first time
- 5:56Speaker 9: on Friday. And those are our first things this morning.
- 6:02Speaker 9: You know, I write for the Daily Signal in our
- 6:04Speaker 9: Virginia page. There are pages dedicated to the news of Georgia, Texas, California,
- 6:12Speaker 9: and Ohio.
- 6:13Speaker 3: And you can find it at DailySignal.com.
- 6:16Speaker 9: Oh yeah, did I mention Victor Davis Hanson on a
- 6:18Speaker 9: daily basis there? Great story about Kathy Hochul on the
- 6:25Speaker 9: front page, Daniel McCarthy there. But if you go and
- 6:30Speaker 9: you check out these statewide pages, you'll get all kinds
- 6:33Speaker 9: of stuff that you may not have known has been
- 6:36Speaker 9: happening there. You can also sign up for Email newsletters
- 6:43Speaker 9: telling you in advance in your inbox each morning, most
- 6:46Speaker 9: recent piece written by me is Virginians don't fall for

- 8:04Speaker 5: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 5: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 5: I'm Dr.
- 8:13Speaker 4: Mitch.
- 8:14Speaker 5: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 8:20Speaker 5: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 8:24Speaker 5: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 8:28Speaker 5: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 8:32Speaker 5: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 8:39Speaker 5: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 8:43Speaker 5: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 8:47Speaker 5: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 8:52Speaker 5: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
- 8:57Speaker 5: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
- 9:02Speaker 12: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 9:05Speaker 12: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 9:10Speaker 12: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
- 9:13Speaker 12: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
- 9:16Speaker 12: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 9:21Speaker 12: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 9:25Speaker 12: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 9:29Speaker 12: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
- 9:33Speaker 12: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 9:37Speaker 12: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
- 9:42Speaker 12: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
- 9:46Speaker 12: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
- 9:53Speaker 12: Share this information with your friends and family.
- 9:58Speaker 13: Hi, everybody. I'm Jack Hanna.
- 10:00Speaker 14: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
- 10:01Speaker 14: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
- 10:05Speaker 14: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
- 10:07Speaker 14: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
- 10:10Speaker 14: supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who work hard
- 10:13Speaker 14: to provide for their young, or penguins who travel up
- 10:16Speaker 14: to 500 miles to secure food for their families, or
- 10:19Speaker 14: bush babies whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
- 10:21Speaker 14: trees and the wild in search of fruit. This remarkable
- 10:24Speaker 14: work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
- 10:28Speaker 14: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
- 10:30Speaker 14: because of their acute senses, They also perform life-saving work
- 10:34Speaker 14: every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
- 10:36Speaker 14: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
- 10:39Speaker 14: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
- 10:42Speaker 14: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
- 10:45Speaker 14: roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
- 10:47Speaker 14: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
- 10:50Speaker 14: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
- 10:53Speaker 14: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
- 10:59Speaker 15: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 16: Oh, yeah?
- 11:01Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:04Speaker 17: And now a speech.
- 11:06Speaker 4: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 11:10Speaker 8: Heart and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 15: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
- 11:15Speaker 15: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
- 11:18Speaker 15: call me a ride. Love that guy.
- 11:20Speaker 18: Me too.
- 11:21Speaker 4: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 11:23Speaker 4: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:26Speaker 19: Woot!

- 11:31Speaker 20: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:35Speaker 20: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 11:39Speaker 20: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42Speaker 20: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can

- 11:54Speaker 20: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 11:58Speaker 20: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a

- 13:11Speaker 2: This is Independence from Virginia. Again, First Thing Today by
- 13:17Speaker 2: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 13:19Speaker 7: There's no dark side of the moon. As a matter
- 13:25Speaker 7: of fact, it's all dark. What is it that is
- 13:29Speaker 7: not happening for us?
- 13:47Speaker 9: And there's no easy, everyone wants the punching bag, it's
- 13:51Speaker 9: social media, it's advertising, it's advertising on social media.
- 13:57Speaker 3: And there's a lot of that.
- 13:58Speaker 9: Oh, without question, a lot of the suicidal thoughts, but
- 14:01Speaker 9: I'm sure that's not what was chasing Carrot Top. And
- 14:10Speaker 9: you say, in retrospect to stories like this, you say,
- 14:14Speaker 9: this guy appears like he's got everything. What's a 17-year-old
- 14:19Speaker 9: or a 14-year-old girl who can't even get anyone to
- 14:23Speaker 9: talk to her at school, never mind on the internet,
- 14:30Speaker 9: going to use against the darkness that says, take your
- 14:34Speaker 9: own life? And this is important because we see this.
- 14:40Speaker 9: Our soldiers come back from theater. And is it the
- 14:44Speaker 9: loss of the comradeship? Is it the loss of the regulation,
- 14:50Speaker 9: the regulated days? Is it the horrors of the war
- 14:55Speaker 9: that you've seen? Is it the inclination not to talk
- 15:02Speaker 9: to someone? Because that's frequently what happens as well. Elvis,
- 15:11Speaker 9: was Elvis a slow-moving suicide? that nobody said anything about
- 15:18Speaker 9: because you don't bite the hand that feeds you. James Dean.
- 15:23Speaker 9: I mean, never mind the other, I mean, the obvious
- 15:26Speaker 9: ones like Kurt Cobain. John Lennon's career suicide when he
- 15:33Speaker 9: broke up the Beatles. I still wonder if the internet, YouTube,
- 15:40Speaker 9: and the ability to publish songs and distribute them outside
- 15:44Speaker 9: of the record industry existed what kind of career John
- 15:48Speaker 9: Lennon would have had after the Beatles. But was John
- 15:53Speaker 9: Lennon's music good after the Beatles? He had some hits,
- 15:57Speaker 9: so did Paul McCartney. But did the friction of having
- 16:00Speaker 9: to write with one another and get the whole band
- 16:03Speaker 9: on board to it make it better? I say it does.
- 16:08Speaker 9: I say having to answer for stuff makes you better.
- 16:12Speaker 9: Being responsible, knowing that you're connected to other people. What
- 16:18Speaker 9: you do, and believe me, our flagship radio station has
- 16:21Speaker 9: undergone some of the worst year you could possibly have.
- 16:26Speaker 9: It's been knocked off the air. We lost our transmitter tower.
- 16:31Speaker 9: Then our computer systems have gone. And yet, I know
- 16:39Speaker 9: that we need to keep working because there are people
- 16:42Speaker 9: I'm responsible to. Starting with you and the network and
- 16:50Speaker 9: what do we do and how do we do what
- 16:53Speaker 9: we do and how do we make sure that the
- 16:55Speaker 9: electric bill gets paid and all of those mundanities.
- 16:58Speaker 3: But then you go.
- 16:59Speaker 9: Beyond that into somebody who's done something creative, who's established
- 17:04Speaker 9: something creative.
- 17:06Speaker 3: Whether it be a business or software or anything. And
- 17:09Speaker 3: then it's then what?
- 17:11Speaker 9: I see this all the time in stories about Silicon Valley.
- 17:16Speaker 9: Somebody writes a software app, creates it on their own,
- 17:22Speaker 9: sells it for a big bag of cash, and then
- 17:24Speaker 9: is absolutely horrifically depressed for the rest of their lives
- 17:28Speaker 9: because they're 30 years old, and now what? Okay, Michelangelo,
- 17:33Speaker 9: you've painted the Sistine Chapel. What's next? And there's a pressure.
- 17:41Speaker 9: Each one of these programs is a treasure for me.
- 17:44Speaker 9: When it's done, I have a, We keep notes on
- 17:47Speaker 9: what we did. And I was like, God, this was
- 17:49Speaker 9: a great show. And the next one was a great show.
- 17:52Speaker 9: And we post them. But do I think about them
- 17:54Speaker 9: after that? I have people telling me you should blow
- 17:57Speaker 9: your own horn about things you do more. I'm like,
- 18:00Speaker 9: I'm worried about what I'm doing tomorrow. I'm not worried
- 18:02Speaker 9: about what I did yesterday. Social media, we talked about
- 18:09Speaker 9: this with Ray. The old internet where there had to
- 18:12Speaker 9: be some intentionality. of where you went and who you
- 18:16Speaker 9: visited with. We compared it to school where you're in
- 18:24Speaker 9: the cafeteria at a lunch table with some of your friends,
- 18:28Speaker 9: two or three of your friends, and everyone else. And
- 18:33Speaker 9: so you're having a private conversation. Then some jack-off from
- 18:37Speaker 9: the chess club comes over and starts bullying you. I
- 18:43Speaker 9: use the chess club because, you know, who expects the
- 18:46Speaker 9: guy from the chess club to come bully you? It
- 18:48Speaker 9: would have been easy for me to say the star
- 18:51Speaker 9: quarterback from the football team. But some bully comes over
- 18:55Speaker 9: and starts pushing you around because you're trying to have
- 18:57Speaker 9: a conversation in the midst of everyone.
- 19:01Speaker 3: Well, I mean, that's not healthy.
- 19:08Speaker 9: And so I worry a little bit about what this
- 19:11Speaker 9: generation is going to be like when they're 60 and
- 19:14Speaker 9: 70 years old.
- 19:16Speaker 3: But you see these issues with people who.
- 19:19Speaker 9: Seemingly have everything and want to give it all up
- 19:23Speaker 9: and want to end it all.
- 19:25Speaker 3: You say, well, why would they do that?
- 19:27Speaker 9: Probably because it isn't turned out the way they wanted
- 19:30Speaker 9: it to. And that's a commonality I hear a lot
- 19:34Speaker 9: with suicide prevention folks. If there is a common thread,
- 19:43Speaker 9: and it's a small common thread, it's not huge, but
- 19:46Speaker 9: it's that things haven't worked out the.
- 19:48Speaker 3: Way you want.
- 19:50Speaker 9: Them to, hoped they would, imagined they would. Maybe you
- 19:57Speaker 9: got everything you asked for and it sucked. There are
- 20:04Speaker 9: Aesop's fables about that. Clark is famous for talking about
- 20:10Speaker 9: Henny Penny and Chicken Little, but there are lots of
- 20:13Speaker 9: the grim fairy tales dedicated to getting everything you wanted.
- 20:24Speaker 9: This is where morality comes in. This is where grounding this,
- 20:28Speaker 9: and I'm not saying don't achieve things, but the people
- 20:31Speaker 9: who achieve things, Kurt Cobain, famous story, never wanted Nirvana
- 20:37Speaker 9: to be a huge success multi-platinum success. It was like
- 20:41Speaker 9: an albatross on his back because now, hey, you've got
- 20:45Speaker 9: to do your next album or your album after that.
- 20:49Speaker 3: Well, hang on.
- 20:50Speaker 9: I mean, it took me 20 years to write the
- 20:52Speaker 9: first album. Now you want the next one in 20 months?
- 21:00Speaker 9: It is a responsibility because now you have contracts that
- 21:03Speaker 9: you have to pay off and people who are being
- 21:05Speaker 9: paid by you and you have bandmates that are expecting
- 21:08Speaker 9: you to do things. So a big part of the
- 21:11Speaker 9: Kurt Cobain story. And it wasn't like he wasn't writing
- 21:16Speaker 9: the music he wanted to write. He just didn't want
- 21:18Speaker 9: to have to do it. He wanted to, you know,
- 21:22Speaker 9: you know, I've written songs already. I'm just going to
- 21:24Speaker 9: go play those. No, we need 10 more. I don't
- 21:27Speaker 9: want to write 10 more. I want to play these
- 21:29Speaker 9: 10 that I wrote and they're very special.
- 21:33Speaker 3: What do you want? What are you expecting to get?
- 21:36Speaker 9: These are some of the things that are common in
- 21:40Speaker 9: the conversations about people who attempt to take their own
- 21:44Speaker 9: lives is that what are you expecting out of this?
- 21:49Speaker 9: What do you want out of it? And what does
- 21:53Speaker 9: that look like? What does the game play out to
- 21:56Speaker 9: be like at the end?
- 22:01Speaker 16: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
- 22:05Speaker 16: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
- 22:08Speaker 16: at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a
- 22:12Speaker 16: week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes does
- 22:15Speaker 16: not need to be super intense. As a matter of fact,
- 22:17Speaker 16: it could just be you moving your body and doing
- 22:20Speaker 16: what you already love to do, like exercise. And a
- 22:22Speaker 16: stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right? It means also
- 22:26Speaker 16: infusing your workout routines with strength training as well. So
- 22:29Speaker 16: we are super excited to be launching our new plate-loaded
- 22:33Speaker 16: strength series in all of our gyms. It's already fitted
- 22:36Speaker 16: in 1,700 locations with the goal to have all 2,700
- 22:40Speaker 16: fitted by the end of 2025.
- 22:43Speaker 3: So if you need more information, go.
- 22:44Speaker 16: To our website at planetfitness.com or better yet, download our
- 22:48Speaker 16: free Planet Fitness app. And with convenient locations all around
- 22:52Speaker 16: the world and most of our gyms being open 24 hours,

- 22:56Speaker 22: For decades, America's offshore oil industry has relied on Port Fouchon, Louisiana.
- 23:02Speaker 22: But now, as wind energy continues to grow, many of
- 23:05Speaker 22: these vessels, these companies, these people are building and servicing
- 23:09Speaker 22: the offshore wind industry. Moving equipment, installing turbines, transporting crews,
- 23:14Speaker 22: it's a huge opportunity, and we're proud to be a
- 23:16Speaker 22: part of that.
- 23:17Speaker 7: U.S.
- 23:18Speaker 19: Offshore wind has already announced over $ 25 billion in infrastructure investments.

- 24:03Speaker 5: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 5: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 5: I'm Dr.
- 24:13Speaker 10: Mitch.
- 24:14Speaker 5: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 24:19Speaker 5: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 24:24Speaker 5: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 24:28Speaker 5: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 24:32Speaker 5: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 24:39Speaker 5: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer. or at
- 24:43Speaker 5: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
- 24:46Speaker 5: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells, even
- 24:52Speaker 5: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

- 25:02Speaker 12: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 25:05Speaker 12: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 25:10Speaker 12: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
- 25:13Speaker 12: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
- 25:17Speaker 12: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 25:21Speaker 12: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 25:26Speaker 12: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 25:29Speaker 12: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
- 25:33Speaker 12: personal information like your Social Security number or bank account
- 25:38Speaker 12: or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers.
- 25:43Speaker 13: Or prepaid debit cards.
- 25:45Speaker 12: Report the call to our law enforcement arm, the Office
- 25:48Speaker 12: of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
- 25:55Speaker 15: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 25:57Speaker 16: Oh, yeah?
- 25:57Speaker 3: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 25:59Speaker 17: And now a speech.
- 26:02Speaker 4: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 26:06Speaker 8: Heart and brain.
- 26:07Speaker 3: Who's with me?
- 26:08Speaker 15: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
- 26:11Speaker 15: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
- 26:14Speaker 15: call me a ride.
- 26:15Speaker 13: Love that guy.
- 26:16Speaker 8: Me too.
- 26:17Speaker 4: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 26:19Speaker 4: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 26:23Speaker 20: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 26:26Speaker 20: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 26:30Speaker 20: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 26:34Speaker 20: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 26:37Speaker 20: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 26:40Speaker 20: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 26:46Speaker 20: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 26:49Speaker 20: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 26:53Speaker 20: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 26:55Speaker 20: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 26:59Speaker 20: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 27:02Speaker 20: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 27:05Speaker 20: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 27:09Speaker 20: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
- 27:12Speaker 20: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.

- 27:37Speaker 17: a brother like you.
- 27:39Speaker 10: Lucky?
- 27:40Speaker 24: Caring for my brother is far from easy. But he's
- 27:43Speaker 24: a part of me, like my arms and legs, so
- 27:45Speaker 24: I'll be his. No time for tired. Nothing can disable
- 27:49Speaker 24: this love. He needs me, but I'm the lucky one,
- 27:52Speaker 24: even though I need help now and then.

- 28:12Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 28:17Speaker 21: Space, a final frontier.
- 28:19Speaker 3: You know, it was dangerous out there.
- 28:26Speaker 18: Starship Enterprise.
- 28:29Speaker 3: Out on the frontier.
- 28:30Speaker 18: It's a five-year mission to explore strange new worlds, to
- 28:33Speaker 18: seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go
- 28:38Speaker 18: where no man has gone before.
- 28:40Speaker 16: And.
- 28:42Speaker 9: The issue has always been the weapons in space. Oh,
- 28:46Speaker 9: Star Trek was, we're on a mission of peace, but
- 28:48Speaker 9: I have photon torpedoes and phasers and I'm not afraid
- 28:51Speaker 9: to use them. Why? Because even peaceful people are going
- 28:55Speaker 9: to get attacked. And earlier in the program, I played
- 29:01Speaker 9: for you the Jack Kennedy speech.
- 29:05Speaker 3: That nobody remembers.
- 29:06Speaker 9: He's out there saying, you know, we're going out on
- 29:09Speaker 9: this ocean and And our job is to defend it.
- 29:19Speaker 9: And Trump, one of Trump administration officials leaked, if you will,
- 29:24Speaker 9: or slipped of a tongue that there were weapons in space.
- 29:29Speaker 9: Of course there are weapons in space. That's how you
- 29:34Speaker 9: defend an ocean. But along with that, yesterday, the Department
- 29:41Speaker 9: of War released more UFO files, including a program that
- 29:49Speaker 9: they discussed sending scientists to try to figure out how
- 29:52Speaker 9: to make a warp drive. Report known as the Advanced
- 29:59Speaker 9: Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program. Sound like weapons in space?
- 30:09Speaker 3: Sure.
- 30:10Speaker 9: And that's what JFK told us we needed to have.
- 30:13Speaker 13: Knowledge and understanding.
- 30:16Speaker 25: Yet the vows of this nation can only be fulfilled
- 30:22Speaker 25: if we in this nation are first. and therefore we
- 30:26Speaker 25: intend to be first.
- 30:30Speaker 9: And we were, and space had to be sheriffed by
- 30:34Speaker 9: some of them.
- 30:35Speaker 25: In short, our leadership in science and industry, our hopes
- 30:40Speaker 25: for peace and security, our obligations to ourselves as well
- 30:45Speaker 25: as others, all require us to make this effort to
- 30:50Speaker 25: solve these mysteries.
- 30:52Speaker 13: To solve them for the good of all men.
- 30:54Speaker 25: And to become the world's leading space-faring nation. We set
- 31:00Speaker 25: sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge
- 31:04Speaker 25: to be gained and new rights to be won, and
- 31:08Speaker 25: they must be won and used for the progress of
- 31:12Speaker 25: all people. The first waves of the Industrial Revolution, the
- 31:17Speaker 25: first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of
- 31:21Speaker 25: nuclear power And this generation does not intend to founder
- 31:26Speaker 25: in the backwash of the coming age of space.
- 31:30Speaker 5: We mean to be a part of it.
- 31:32Speaker 25: We mean to lead it.
- 31:35Speaker 3: And why so?
- 31:36Speaker 9: Because he viewed, as it is, a sea that has
- 31:40Speaker 9: peril on it and that you need to have weapons
- 31:43Speaker 9: to defend yourself.
- 31:44Speaker 25: For the eyes of the world, now look into space,
- 31:49Speaker 25: to the moon and to the planets beyond. And we
- 31:53Speaker 25: have vowed that we shall not see it governed by
- 31:58Speaker 25: a hostile flag of conquest.
- 32:01Speaker 9: So, of course, we have weapons in space. That's how
- 32:04Speaker 9: you defend sailors and explorers. You defend explorers with guns.
- 32:12Speaker 9: So this Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program, Defense Intelligence Agency,
- 32:20Speaker 9: Established in 2008. Who was president in 2008? Barack Hussein Obama.
- 32:28Speaker 9: So Barack Obama, Barry Cetero to his childhood friends, wanted
- 32:34Speaker 9: the DIA to study aerospace threats decades into the future.
- 32:42Speaker 9: They stopped doing it in 2012.
- 32:43Speaker 3: Funny that.
- 32:46Speaker 9: One document describes the goals of the program and requirements
- 32:50Speaker 9: for contractors who work on it. One aspect of the
- 32:53Speaker 9: future threat environment involves advanced aerospace weapons systems applications. The
- 32:59Speaker 9: objective of this program is to understand the physics and
- 33:02Speaker 9: engineering of these applications as they apply to the foreign
- 33:07Speaker 9: threat out to the far term, i.e. now through the
- 33:12Speaker 9: year 2050. So these documents all talk about how the
- 33:20Speaker 9: Obama administration wanted weapons.
- 33:26Speaker 3: In space.
- 33:30Speaker 9: So stop with all the, oh, Trump's just got space bombers.
- 33:35Speaker 9: And he actually developed a department of the Pentagon specifically
- 33:43Speaker 9: to deal with this. So large had it become. Just like, oh,
- 33:49Speaker 9: and where is our space for space?
- 33:52Speaker 3: Greenland.
- 33:57Speaker 9: Pause again so the leftists can continue to eat their
- 34:00Speaker 9: crow over this Greenland stuff. But I want to know
- 34:04Speaker 9: when the news media is going to go back to
- 34:06Speaker 9: Greenland and start fixing what they created in an effort
- 34:12Speaker 9: to come up with hit pieces on Donald Trump. Because
- 34:21Speaker 9: they've been there for six months, eight months, saying, Donald
- 34:24Speaker 9: Trump's going to take over and make you bust tables
- 34:27Speaker 9: at his new golf course.
- 34:31Speaker 3: Which wasn't true. As a matter of fact, here's a
- 34:33Speaker 3: great one.
- 34:34Speaker 9: Charles writes into JTInTheMorningRadio at gmail.com. As usual, Trump is
- 34:40Speaker 9: playing three-dimensional chess while the Democrats and other socialists are
- 34:45Speaker 9: playing crazy eights. But what about the Danish leadership that
- 34:55Speaker 9: knew this was going on?
- 34:57Speaker 3: They knew.
- 35:00Speaker 9: They allowed the American media to go out there and
- 35:03Speaker 9: cast this aspersion about them. I hazard to imagine what
- 35:08Speaker 9: the Danish prime minister's office is like or their ambassadors
- 35:14Speaker 9: or whatever the postings are. It must look like Scott,
- 35:18Speaker 9: not Scott, Clarence Thomas's house after a Supreme Court ruling,
- 35:27Speaker 9: all these folks, Brett Kavanaugh's house. Everyone's out there, hey, hey, ho, ho,
- 35:34Speaker 9: insert whatever it is, got to go. When are we
- 35:40Speaker 9: going out back to the Greenland and say, hey, listen,
- 35:44Speaker 9: you know, all that stuff the media told you, was
- 35:47Speaker 9: a lie. And we told you it was a lie
- 35:49Speaker 9: when it was being told to you. And you said, no,
- 35:52Speaker 9: Trump bad. Our Danish leadership will look out for us.
- 35:56Speaker 9: And that's the bigger peril is the salted earth that
- 36:01Speaker 9: Danish leadership and the Greenland government are now facing because
- 36:05Speaker 9: the American media went there, drove in, shot up a
- 36:09Speaker 9: bunch of liquor stores, and then drove away like every
- 36:13Speaker 9: other drive-by gang. And so why should they care? Why
- 36:27Speaker 9: should they care? They just came to get the story.
- 36:29Speaker 9: And if there was no story, which there wasn't, they
- 36:33Speaker 9: had to make one, which meant going into pubs and
- 36:36Speaker 9: going into coffee shops and saying, Donald Trump wants to
- 36:39Speaker 9: turn Greenland into his newest golf course. What do you
- 36:42Speaker 9: say to Donald Trump? And then they'd leave and all
- 36:46Speaker 9: these Danes would sit there and say, yeah, Donald Trump
- 36:49Speaker 9: wants to turn us into a casino and it was
- 36:53Speaker 9: never the case at ever but it made a good
- 36:56Speaker 9: news story or a good story let's just say we
- 37:01Speaker 9: need the world to be more news and less story
- 37:08Speaker 9: but how do you how do you put this genie
- 37:10Speaker 9: back in the bottle when the Greenland residents wake up
- 37:13Speaker 9: and they're like wait what we sold a what we
- 37:17Speaker 9: signed a deal with orange guy Space Force. Oh, what
- 37:26Speaker 9: a joke is Space Force. He wants Star Trek or whatever. No,
- 37:30Speaker 9: we already had it. Barack Obama documents from 2008 talking
- 37:36Speaker 9: about weapons in space. Just tell the flipping truth to people.
- 37:43Speaker 9: Then we can go on and talk about, I don't know,
- 37:45Speaker 9: NCAA football. Ted Cruz wants to do that more than
- 37:49Speaker 9: he wants to pass the Save America Act. So, you know,
- 37:53Speaker 9: if we if we can handle all the other stuff. Oh,
- 37:56Speaker 9: that's not fair, Joe. He's a Republican. What are you
- 37:59Speaker 9: working for, James Tallarico?
- 38:01Speaker 15: In 2024, the American Heart Association celebrates 100 years of
- 38:06Speaker 15: lifesaving service as the world's leading nonprofit organization focused on
- 38:10Speaker 15: heart and brain health. Heart disease still kills more people
- 38:13Speaker 15: in the United States each year than all types of
- 38:15Speaker 15: cancer combined. But more than half of Americans are unaware
- 38:18Speaker 15: of this fact. according to a recent Harris Poll survey
- 38:22Speaker 15: conducted for the American Heart Association. However, the majority of
- 38:25Speaker 15: heart disease is preventable. New research has improved the prevention, diagnosis,
- 38:30Speaker 15: and treatment of heart disease and its risk factors. Efforts
- 38:33Speaker 15: led by the American Heart Association have reduced deaths from
- 38:36Speaker 15: heart disease by half over the past century and helped
- 38:39Speaker 15: people with heart disease live longer and more productive lives
- 38:42Speaker 15: while managing their condition and risk factors. To learn more

- 41:12Speaker 19: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 41:15Speaker 19: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 41:22Speaker 19: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 41:24Speaker 19: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:28Speaker 19: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:33Speaker 19: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,

- 42:56Speaker 8: Sure.
- 42:57Speaker 4: We'll probably stay together.
- 42:59Speaker 9: Probably?
- 42:59Speaker 24: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
- 43:03Speaker 3: I can probably swim.
- 43:05Speaker 8: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
- 43:08Speaker 3: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
- 43:09Speaker 8: Cannonball!
- 43:12Speaker 10: Cramp!
- 43:13Speaker 6: Oh, I have a cramp.
- 43:16Speaker 17: I can probably hit the green from here.
- 43:19Speaker 3: Probably.
- 43:24Speaker 20: Can I get a mulligan?
- 43:25Speaker 3: Ready to go?
- 43:27Speaker 13: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 43:29Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
- 43:32Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:35Speaker 9: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 43:39Speaker 9: and driving.
- 43:40Speaker 3: If you're drinking, call a cab, a car, or a friend.
- 43:43Speaker 3: Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message brought to you
- 43:46Speaker 3: by NHTSA and the Ad Council.

- 44:12Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:17Speaker 7: That you don't understand yourself.
- 44:29Speaker 9: So this Al Sayed fellow out of Michigan said, I
- 44:33Speaker 9: want to get money out of politics and then immediately
- 44:36Speaker 9: went to George Soros' house for a fundraiser. I was
- 44:40Speaker 9: invited to come on to Newsmax for that. And actually,
- 44:46Speaker 9: I'm not sure if it was a debate or not,
- 44:48Speaker 9: but it was me and former Senator Scott Brown yesterday.
- 44:55Speaker 26: We begin this hour with Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed,
- 45:00Speaker 26: who will reportedly attend a fundraiser at the West Hollywood
- 45:03Speaker 26: home of billionaire George Soros' nephew later this month. Jeffrey
- 45:07Speaker 26: Soros is slated to host a meet and greet alongside
- 45:10Speaker 26: former Obama advisors and other Hollywood figures. Now, each guest
- 45:14Speaker 26: can reportedly donate roughly $ 57, 000 to Abdul for the Michigan
- 45:19Speaker 26: Victory Fund, and it's not yet clear if George Soros
- 45:22Speaker 26: himself will be in attendance. Hello and welcome to a
- 45:25Speaker 26: brand new hour of National Report. I'm Chris Alenzo.
- 45:27Speaker 11: And I'm Kyle Lauder in for Edie Hill this morning.
- 45:29Speaker 11: The out-of-state big money fundraiser comes as Al-Sayed has repeatedly
- 45:34Speaker 11: criticized the influence of corporations and billionaires in politics and
- 45:39Speaker 11: is campaigning on getting, quote, money out of politics.
- 45:43Speaker 3: Take a listen.
- 45:45Speaker 13: My priority is money out of politics, money in your pocket,
- 45:47Speaker 13: Medicare for all.
- 45:48Speaker 11: Work to get money out of politics.
- 45:50Speaker 14: But if you believe that we've got to get money
- 45:52Speaker 14: out of politics so that our politicians actually work for us,
- 45:55Speaker 14: then I hope that I can earn your support.
- 45:59Speaker 26: Scott Brown is a former Massachusetts senator and former New
- 46:02Speaker 26: Hampshire Senate candidate. And Joe Thomas is a morning radio
- 46:06Speaker 26: show host with the Talk Media Network and a columnist
- 46:08Speaker 26: with The Daily Signal. Good morning, gentlemen.
- 46:10Speaker 13: Good to have you.
- 46:11Speaker 26: So you heard it here from the horse's mouth, Scott,
- 46:14Speaker 26: in terms of getting money out of politics. But yet
- 46:18Speaker 26: he is partnering with George Soros. So explain that to us.
- 46:22Speaker 13: Well, listen, it's not a surprise to me.
- 46:25Speaker 27: I mean, we know that Soros is basically using That
- 46:28Speaker 27: money to influence politics around the world, not only in
- 46:31Speaker 27: the United States. And to say he's getting big money
- 46:34Speaker 27: or corporate money or billionaire money out of politics is laughable,
- 46:38Speaker 27: especially with someone like Soros.
- 46:40Speaker 13: This is a guy that supports the far, far left
- 46:43Speaker 13: DSA agenda, i.e.
- 46:45Speaker 3: Soros.
- 46:46Speaker 27: And this person, Al-Said, running is basically that model, Medicare
- 46:51Speaker 27: for all, abolish ICE, blah, blah, blah.
- 46:53Speaker 13: I mean, we all know the drill.
- 46:54Speaker 27: I think, obviously, that it's going to be close, but
- 46:58Speaker 27: I still think that Mike Rogers wins this race.
- 47:01Speaker 11: It just reeks of hypocrisy. So George Soros worth an
- 47:04Speaker 11: estimated $ 8. 6 billion. His super PAC has already reportedly contributed
- 47:09Speaker 11: nearly $ 37 million.
- 47:12Speaker 13: To other political committees.
- 47:14Speaker 11: This midterm cycle in 2024, he contributed nearly $ 60 million. So, Joe,
- 47:19Speaker 11: is this really money out of politics here?
- 47:22Speaker 3: No, absolutely not.
- 47:24Speaker 9: It was probably one of the most Marxist things I've
- 47:26Speaker 9: heard these democratic socialists say so far this election cycle.
- 47:30Speaker 9: And by the way, not to correct the host, but
- 47:32Speaker 9: you had 180 degrees the other end of the horse is.
- 47:37Speaker 13: Where that came from. Good one. I like that.
- 47:40Speaker 9: But this is what the Soviet Union did. The Politburo
- 47:44Speaker 9: picked your candidates and then you were told... A and B,
- 47:48Speaker 9: but it really made no difference. It was just who
- 47:52Speaker 9: the party selected, who the government selected for you. Are
- 47:56Speaker 9: there expensive campaigns?
- 47:58Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 47:59Speaker 9: Scott knows them. He won in Massachusetts. If anyone knows
- 48:03Speaker 9: how a Republican can win in a blue state, it's Scott.
- 48:07Speaker 9: And sometimes you have to spend money. I think the
- 48:10Speaker 9: Supreme Court ruling on political action committees getting the same
- 48:13Speaker 9: political rate as candidates actually damages small businesses. But at
- 48:19Speaker 9: least it's trying to address how much money is spent
- 48:22Speaker 9: in these campaigns. But I'd suggest maybe pointing to the
- 48:26Speaker 9: consultants that charge for the ad buys. based on a
- 48:30Speaker 9: percentage of how much money they spend. But any candidate
- 48:33Speaker 9: will tell you the mailers, the franking is one of
- 48:36Speaker 9: the most expensive things they do.
- 48:39Speaker 3: But that's their choice. You choose to run the campaign
- 48:42Speaker 3: you want to.
- 48:44Speaker 9: And there have been insurgent races all over the country
- 48:47Speaker 9: that have overwhelmed. Glenn Youngkin here in Virginia, he had
- 48:51Speaker 9: way less money than Terry McAuliffe It did. And Terry
- 48:56Speaker 9: could have had more. All he had to do was
- 48:57Speaker 9: call Uncle George for another donation. But Glenn Youngkin won.
- 49:02Speaker 13: You can do it.
- 49:03Speaker 3: It's it sure is hard work. But, you know, we
- 49:05Speaker 3: make more shoe leather. Wear it out.
- 49:07Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 49:07Speaker 26: And fifty seven thousand dollars a ticket. That screams affordability
- 49:11Speaker 26: for sure. As he's talking about it.
- 49:14Speaker 3: I didn't get my invite.
- 49:15Speaker 8: I'm sorry.
- 49:16Speaker 13: Sorry, guys.
- 49:16Speaker 26: I didn't get my invite either. I'm sure it's going
- 49:18Speaker 26: to be star-studded as well. But his opponent, Mike Rogers,
- 49:22Speaker 26: his campaign releasing this statement, quote, Abdul El-Sayed raising dark
- 49:27Speaker 26: Soros money in California after begging Chuck Schumer for money
- 49:30Speaker 26: in D.C. is the least surprising thing he's done all cycle.
- 49:33Speaker 26: That's what a con man does, saying one thing and
- 49:37Speaker 26: doing another. Michiganders can't trust this guy. Will voters see
- 49:40Speaker 26: through this, though? That's the real question. El-Sayed's campaign, Scott,
- 49:44Speaker 26: they're firing back with their own statement saying this. Abdul
- 49:47Speaker 26: is the only candidate in this race running to get
- 49:50Speaker 26: money out of politics. Again, here we see it. And
- 49:53Speaker 26: we'll fight to end Citizens United to ensure that our
- 49:55Speaker 26: democracy is working for the people, not billionaires. But Scott,
- 49:59Speaker 26: you do have to give it up to El-Sayed in
- 50:01Speaker 26: terms of how he's played this, how he is now
- 50:04Speaker 26: switching to make this a national race, because we are
- 50:07Speaker 26: pretty much talking about him every single day here in
- 50:10Speaker 26: the mainstream media. So, I mean, do you think that
- 50:13Speaker 26: he is playing this right? He is trying to expand
- 50:16Speaker 26: his appeal and also distance himself from people like Hassan Piker,
- 50:19Speaker 26: really also creating a grassroots efforts.
- 50:23Speaker 13: Well, he can't distance himself. I mean, it's already there.
- 50:26Speaker 13: He's anti-Semitic.
- 50:27Speaker 27: He's basically wants to give away everything for free, getting big,
- 50:31Speaker 27: dark money out of politics.
- 50:32Speaker 13: I mean, it's laughable.
- 50:34Speaker 27: Bottom line is the Democrats will do anything, anything and
- 50:38Speaker 27: support anyone if they have a chance to take over
- 50:41Speaker 27: the House and the Senate. They want to basically go
- 50:43Speaker 27: and stack the Supreme Court. We know what they want
- 50:46Speaker 27: to do. They want to abolish ICE. They want to
- 50:48Speaker 27: make sure that Medicare for all. I mean, who's going
- 50:51Speaker 27: to pay for all this stuff?
- 50:52Speaker 7: They're going to.
- 50:53Speaker 27: Bankrupt the country even more. We need some level-headed people there.
- 50:57Speaker 27: I know Mike Rogers, full disclosure, I've given him a check.
- 51:00Speaker 27: I think he's very qualified, and I think Michigan would
- 51:03Speaker 27: do great to have someone like him there with the
- 51:05Speaker 27: experience and knowledge to basically steady the ship. This guy,
- 51:09Speaker 27: Ronnie El-Sayed, he's got no experience in this field. And
- 51:12Speaker 27: he basically wants to give everything away. I mean, that's
- 51:15Speaker 27: completely upside down.
- 51:16Speaker 11: Yeah, Joe, this is probably the race of the midterms,
- 51:18Speaker 11: maybe this in Texas. So ultimately, where do you see
- 51:21Speaker 11: Michigan going?
- 51:22Speaker 9: I think it's amazing that we're even talking about a
- 51:25Speaker 9: Republican out of Michigan, and it's a great sign. It
- 51:29Speaker 9: reminds me of when Scott won in Massachusetts. It gives
- 51:32Speaker 9: hope in states, purple states like Virginia. We're facing constitutional
- 51:36Speaker 9: amendments codifying abortion and making criminal anyone who might say,
- 51:41Speaker 9: maybe you shouldn't have an abortion. And in that case,
- 51:44Speaker 9: we checked the funding, $ 2. 8 million for Vote Yes. in
- 51:49Speaker 9: the abortion amendment, and we can't find out who gave it. Oh,
- 51:53Speaker 9: it's all small dollar. It all came through ActBlue, one
- 51:56Speaker 9: of the great money laundering schemes in politics. This was
- 51:59Speaker 9: the old Obama fundraising machine, and now it's ActBlue, and
- 52:05Speaker 9: George Soros gives millions of dollars to it, and it
- 52:07Speaker 9: goes out little bits at a time. It's a great
- 52:10Speaker 9: way to hide money and act like you've taken money
- 52:13Speaker 9: out of politics.
- 52:14Speaker 11: Yeah, great discussion, guys. Scott Brown, Joe Thomas, thank you, gentlemen.
- 52:19Speaker 9: So I want to thank the guys for having us
- 52:21Speaker 9: on Newsmax, and we'll go back. But this is the
- 52:24Speaker 9: pinata that they want to talk about. Instead of the
- 52:27Speaker 9: Save America Act, you get proportional congressional representations. Guess what
- 52:33Speaker 9: you get out of politics? I'll leave you with that
- 52:36Speaker 9: to think about it. Monday morning, 5 a.m., we'll be
- 52:38Speaker 9: here with you, whether you like it or not. So
- 52:40Speaker 9: you might as well like it. Join in. We'll be
- 52:43Speaker 9: here for you. Until then, Joe Thomas here. So long,
- 52:46Speaker 9: and thanks for all the fish. And don't forget to
- 52:49Speaker 9: enter for TSO tickets online.
- 52:51Speaker 15: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
- 52:53Speaker 15: compression of spinal nerves. According to Dr. Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
- 52:57Speaker 15: California-based chiropractor with more than 30 years of experience, this
- 53:01Speaker 15: compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury, or
- 53:05Speaker 15: simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
- 53:09Speaker 15: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
- 53:12Speaker 15: the neck and back, Dr. Fisher explains. His inventions, the
- 53:16Speaker 15: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device,
- 53:20Speaker 15: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
- 53:24Speaker 15: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction Devices are
- 53:27Speaker 15: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
- 53:30Speaker 15: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
- 53:33Speaker 15: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
- 53:36Speaker 15: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home.
- 53:38Speaker 8: And Dr.
- 53:39Speaker 15: Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos and detailed instructions.
