  Speaker 3: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:11
  Speaker 4: Joe works at.
• 0:11
  Speaker 5: A steel mill, works damn near every day. Leaves for
• 0:16
  Speaker 5: work when the sun comes up, drops a kid to
• 0:19
  Speaker 5: school and on the way. Joe has everything he dreamed of,
• 0:23
  Speaker 5: all the treasures that he needs. No wonder Joe's always smiling,
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: he only aims.
• 0:29
  Speaker 6: To please you.
• 0:34
  Speaker 7: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:36
  Speaker 7: this morning. The radio program, first and foremost, unabashed about
• 0:43
  Speaker 7: calling itself a radio program. I know everyone's like, oh, well,
• 0:46
  Speaker 7: I do that. No, we are a radio program coming
• 0:50
  Speaker 7: to you as you bask in either amplitude or frequency
• 0:53
  Speaker 7: modulation goodness right this second or whatever it is that
• 0:58
  Speaker 7: modulates through a web stream. I'm sure something is modulating.
• 1:07
  Speaker 8: Sorry.
• 1:08
  Speaker 7: So as you do that, we bring you the stories
• 1:12
  Speaker 7: that have happened since last we chatted, stories, news that
• 1:16
  Speaker 7: happened over the weekend. I'll give you my analysis of
• 1:19
  Speaker 7: what's going on with it. You may agree with it.
• 1:21
  Speaker 7: You may not. But that's why we keep the phone
• 1:23
  Speaker 7: lines open at 434-882-7000. 4217, text messages, very popular there.
• 1:31
  Speaker 7: Andy writing in as the story of the Cornell 7
• 1:35
  Speaker 7: has dominated the nothing better to do news media over
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: the weekend. Selective enforcement, Andy writes, is a serious cultural problem. Amen, brother.
• 1:48
  Speaker 7: And I find it, one of the portions of this
• 1:51
  Speaker 7: Cornell 7 story are the hypocriticals that are all running
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: around saying, you know, we must do something about selective
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: enforcement while they're the same people that celebrated Barack Obama
• 2:06
  Speaker 7: turning marijuana possession into something that the police might or
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: might not charge you for. I don't know if it's
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: really a crime anymore. And we've been on this track
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: ever since. Well, if you've been arrested, there must be
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: a reason. Aside from breaking the law, our laws have
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: become interpretive dance rather than laws. Our laws have become,
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: what's the, there's a great leftist expression they use when they, oh,
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: this law is an expression of what kind of community
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: we want to be.
• 2:43
  Speaker 9: Huh?
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: Oh, I know what they're trying to say with comments
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: like that. We want our law enforcement to be out
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: there in creating equity. How about you just arrest people
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: for violating other people's rights? Well, we think those rights
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: are racist. We want new rights. That's the subtext of
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: this whole Cornell 7 thing, is we want new rights.
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: We want to take from the rich. As a matter
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: of fact, we want to take the rich. And they're
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: going to continue this. And they don't care who they trample.
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: And that's part of the story that is tragic to me,
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: is that they're trampling on the very woman who was
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: allegedly sexually assaulted. Our first things this morning, so we
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: may discuss. Air Force has flown out all of its
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: bombers from RAF Fairford after the Iranian-backed attempt at terrorism
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: at the event, at the facility. Seven major oil exporting
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: countries have agreed in collusion Sunday, I mean in concert,
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: as part of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries Plus.
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: That's LBG, it's like LGBTQ plus. This is OPEC plus.
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman. A
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: lot of friends of ours on that table. They'll meet
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: again in a month, three days before the culmination of
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: the midterms, to decide whether to stick it more to
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: the Republicans or not. Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi rebels say they
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: launched ballistic missiles. Where'd they come from? And as well
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: as drones at Saudi Aramco sites in Riyadh and Kuras,
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: claiming the attacks caused major fire in response to what
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: they said were 50 Saudi-led coalition air and missile strikes
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: in Yemen over the past 12 hours. Jay Clayton is
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: now the AI czar, President Trump making that announcement over
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: the weekend, heading up a task force to coordinate federal
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: efforts to ensure that America continues to lead the world
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: in superintelligence, the president tweeted. Meanwhile, the presidential election in
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: Brazil is has not been resolved as neither Bolsonaro nor
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: Lula da Silva have reached the 50% plateau, though each
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: getting well over 50 million votes. They will run off
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: again within the next few weeks. The presidential term is
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: due to turn over on January 5th. Speaking of presidents,
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: NBC News Meet the Press asked Senator John Kennedy if
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: he would run for president. Asked if he was considering,
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: the Louisiana Republican said, Do you know the Easter Bunny? No,
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: that's what he said to Jack Smith last week. My
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: plans right now are to run for re-election, but as
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: I've said before, if I don't think I can be
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: effective in the Senate anymore, I would consider it. I
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: like his attitude on the presidency. Law enforcement is trying
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: to sort out what happened during a homecoming party event
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: in Dooley County, Georgia, as multiple people were injured and
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: two were killed in gunfire that broke out. All right,
• 6:30

• 6:34
  Speaker 7: sat down with Senate candidate, General, I'm sorry, Burt Missisawa.
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: The script moved on me, and all of a sudden
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: I was reading my lunch menus. And there are radio shows.

  Speaker 1: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
• 8:47

  Speaker 6: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
• 10:04

  Speaker 6: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,

  Speaker 12: We depend on our drinking water supply daily, but where
• 10:37
  Speaker 12: does that water come from? Your water provider encourages you

  Speaker 8: If you came across someone struggling with hunger, how would
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: you recognize them? By their clothes?
• 11:08
  Speaker 13: Their age?
• 11:09
  Speaker 14: The way they speak?
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: Would you notice a 16-year-old boy who got his first job?
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: Not for extra spending money, but to help feed his
• 11:17
  Speaker 8: little sisters.
• 11:19
  Speaker 15: Or a mother who's.
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: In between jobs and sometimes goes to bed hungry so
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: her kids can have dinner. Or a 14-year-old girl who

  Speaker 9: When might you be buzzed when you suddenly love everything?
• 12:31
  Speaker 19: You guys, I love this song. I love these nachos.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I love our kickball league.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: I love this guy.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: What's your name?
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: You know what I love?
• 12:44
  Speaker 20: A ride when it's time to head out.
• 12:46
  Speaker 9: If you see a buzzed warning sign, call for a
• 12:49
  Speaker 9: ride when it's time to go home. Buzz driving is
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: drunk driving.
• 12:52
  Speaker 16: A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 12:55
  Speaker 18: Radio.
• 12:56
  Speaker 21: It's on.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: Me?
• 13:23
  Speaker 22: What?
• 13:33
  Speaker 16: You're on the air.
• 13:41
  Speaker 20: What's on your mind?
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: And by love, of course, we mean that consensual kind
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: that's about uplifting one another, right? It's not one of those, like,
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: does this smell like Rohypnol? Bill Cosby things going on there.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: Drink tastes funny.
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: So as we gather this morning, 434-882-4217, our democracy addiction
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: becomes even more acute. And just because somebody is unlikable
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: doesn't make them guilty of things. Just because somebody is
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: a member of a fraternity doesn't make them guilty of something.
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: And that's the rush to judgment in the media's need
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: to find some proof. And this is just like COVID.
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: We need to find a vaccine because the insurance companies
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: need a way to void your coverage if you don't
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: get it. just treating you with a medicine that makes
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: you feel better, that's not sufficient because the insurance companies
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: are still going to have to pay anyway. So we
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: need to have a proof. We need something that says, look,
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: rich people are bad and they mistreat the poor and
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: the marginalized. It's the same thing that happens with Gaza.
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: Because we always, and this is human nature, we identify
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: with the marginalized. We all remember more viscerally the moments
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: where we didn't get our way. And we too easily
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: forget all the times we did. We love the sanctified
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: ground of being the aggrieved party. Some so-and-so has... screwed
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: me over. That's why things haven't turned out the way
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: I wanted it to. When reality, I mean, we just
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: went through another football weekend, you know, and the most
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: refreshing press conferences I hear, you know, is when a coach,
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: whether it's, you know, in the major league baseball playoffs or,
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: you know, Manager, what do you think about that third
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: strike call in the seventh inning? Well, I mean, we
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: were down by three runs. If we hadn't been down
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: by three runs, that third strike call wouldn't have mattered
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: one way or the other. That's perspective that we need
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: to have in our whole life. In our whole life.
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: Going through this situation with our flagship station, we are
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: perilously close to a deadline with my friends, David Carr
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: and his Federal Communications Commission. And we're trying everything we
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: can to get around it. But there are plenty of
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: reasons we're in this position. So while I'd love to
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: sit here and rail about David Carr and the FCC,
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: and there are plenty of reasons to do that, this
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: isn't one of them. This isn't one of them. And
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: we need to have that kind of ability to have perspective.
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: to see the things that put us in this position.
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: You know, the discussion since we were talking about Cornell
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: 7 in the last hour, and we're going to get
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: into other things, including bombing pipelines, and where did the
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: Houthi rebels get ballistic missiles? They don't say anything in
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: Russian on the side, do they? No, that couldn't happen.
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: So there's plenty to get into on this Monday morning,
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: but on that subject, Is being at a frat party
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: consent some of the things that people have said? Well,
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: you know, and the horrific idea of doxing people that
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: are involved in this, really? Did we learn nothing from
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: the Rolling Stone, Hunter S. Thompson-esque rape on campus story
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: that turned out to be a bunch of hogwash or
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: Hogwarts or something? I mean, that's the part that we lose,
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: and this is why I said justice needs to be deliberative,
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: and it doesn't necessarily have to be something that is
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: performed as a spectator sport. Because if the police have
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: evidence that somebody might be guilty of something, tipping your
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: hand to that person might not be the best idea.
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: We have buses and trains and cars, and they might
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: try to take a flyer. That being said, as I
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: said earlier, cover-ups are generally worse at the end. The
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: problems caused by a cover-up are usually worse than it
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: would have been if you just said, yeah, this happened,
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: and we've addressed it, and the guilty parties have had
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: this happen. But we have too many people doing crisis— it' s
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: called crisis messaging— It's an industry. People in my business
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: quit broadcasting to go into crisis messaging. The fun ones
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: are the ones who host podcasts and cause the crisis
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: and then call the person who's in the midst of
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: this crisis of their public persona and said, hey, I
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: could help you out of this. You're the one who
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: put me here, Jack. Anyway, so that's that's where we
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: are in a lot of this. And I want your
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: thoughts on it as well at 434-882-4217. Family business that's
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: been around since 1961. Few news stories have come across
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: the headline pages since then. It is the Luck family
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: at jcsgold.com. There's perspective on gold and silver investing from
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: a family who's not going to be trying to upsell you.
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: They want to answer your questions. at 434-979-COIN when you
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: call them today. Good morning, James, fourth generation, James Luck.
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: How are you doing this Monday morning, sir? I'm doing well, Joe.
• 20:19
  Speaker 23: And our biggest thing at jcsgold.com is to not overcomplicate
• 20:23
  Speaker 23: investing in gold and silver and making it a bigger.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Deal than it needs to be.
• 20:29
  Speaker 23: And that's why we always tell our clients that the
• 20:32
  Speaker 23: best thing to do is to stack gold and silver
• 20:35
  Speaker 23: over time. And we can work with you to find
• 20:38
  Speaker 23: you know, what gold and silver physical product fits your budget.
• 20:41
  Speaker 23: And then to buy that once every two weeks, once
• 20:43
  Speaker 23: a month, once a quarter, whatever fits your, you know,
• 20:48
  Speaker 23: financial situation.
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: And then you just stack that over time.
• 20:52
  Speaker 23: You don't have to play the roller coaster of price
• 20:54
  Speaker 23: swings up and down. But by doing that, you can,
• 20:58
  Speaker 23: you will take advantage of the discounts naturally if you're
• 21:01
  Speaker 23: just buying on a set schedule. And right now, gold
• 21:04
  Speaker 23: and silver are in the green range. Today, popping a
• 21:07
  Speaker 23: little bit here, gold is up about half a percent,
• 21:11
  Speaker 23: up $ 17 to $ 4, 158. Silver is up over 2% in
• 21:16
  Speaker 23: the green today at $ 61.
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: 69.
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: So hopefully people have left you with a lot of orders.
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: It sounds like there were some discounts to be taken
• 21:26

• 22:04
  Speaker 24: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 24: for because of a surgery she just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: talk about all the time, which is?
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: MediShare.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:15
  Speaker 24: So what was your experience like with MediShare and the
• 22:17
  Speaker 24: health care bills?
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Honestly, Brant, seamless. And what a blessing that is. When
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: me tell you, Having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: call in with your need, that is just... It is refreshing. Yes,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 24: What I keep telling people, people love MediShare, and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 24: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: and I mean different in a very, very good way.

  Speaker 25: Hi, I'm Dr. Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary
• 23:04
  Speaker 25: Medical Association. Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping
• 23:10
  Speaker 25: veterinarians deliver better care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that
• 23:15
  Speaker 25: speed up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI
• 23:20
  Speaker 25: supports veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to
• 23:24
  Speaker 25: develop personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:30
  Speaker 25: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
• 23:34
  Speaker 25: on patients. But as with any new technology, always keep
• 23:40
  Speaker 25: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
• 23:44
  Speaker 25: AI is a powerful tool. but not a replacement for
• 23:47
  Speaker 25: your veterinarian's expertise, compassion, and judgment, which remains at the
• 23:53
  Speaker 25: center of our profession. For more information on AI and

  Speaker 3: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the 12th.
• 28:26
  Speaker 28: Hey, hey, hey, hey.
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: Be careful of that. Bite the hand that feeds you.
• 28:39
  Speaker 23: Just remember that it's a grand illusion.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: Deep inside we're all the same.
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: We all are the folks you need to be very
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: careful of because most of us were the ones that
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: weren't very popular in school. So therefore, we've decided now
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: we're important media people and we're flogging ourselves over the
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: idea that we are now telling you what to think.
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: And it's embarrassing because, sure, I remember when I was
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: that guy. And you could still say I'm engaging in
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: some passive aggressive attempt to do that. But honest to goodness,
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: I just want you to know what's going on. So
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: you're not being manipulated. This email from Teresa, who says, Joe,
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: why shouldn't we be looking into how these resources. guys'
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: kids are living off their entitlement? I say that you
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: shouldn't be allowed to wind up with that kind of
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: largesse to be major contributors. I think we have a
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: problem with income disparity in this country, don't you? I
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: think that there are people who have become too poor
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: and have struggled getting out of that poverty. But I
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: can point to things a lot more directly than the
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: existence of well-off people. And the danger, Teresa, when you
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: talk about well-off people is who gets to define what
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: well-off means? Who gets to write that law? Is it
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: another one of these moments of democracy junkiness where we
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: all get stoned on the idea of voting? I don't
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: like Joe Thomas. He owns a radio station. He says
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: things that make me uncomfortable, make me think. I don't
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: want that. I want somebody who's to talk about sports
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: in the morning. Okay, and so you vote me off
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: the island. We've become this giant societal version of the
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: last five minutes of every Survivor episode. We all want
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: to get in our tribal council and see whose tiki
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: torch gets snuffed out. And that's dangerous. That's how Robespierre
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: lost his head. I mean, first he lost his head,
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: then he actually lost his head.
• 31:05
  Speaker 28: There.
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: John is on the phone down on the Treasure Coast.
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: I don't know if he's walking the beach this morning
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: or not. Last time we spoke to him, he was.
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: Good morning, John. How are you doing this morning, my man?
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: I'm still vertical. All right. I like that one, especially
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: at this hour of the morning. So what's on your mind?
• 31:24
  Speaker 28: Yes, I'm a retired disabled veteran, and I– I've been
• 31:30
  Speaker 28: calling these different gold purveyors, trying to get on a
• 31:35
  Speaker 28: monthly basis to pay a certain amount and buy a
• 31:40
  Speaker 28: certain amount of silver automatically every month. But I've been
• 31:44
  Speaker 28: blocked because I don't own a computer. And it seems
• 31:47
  Speaker 28: as though you have to own a computer or go
• 31:50
  Speaker 28: online in order to do that.
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: Really?
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: Is that true?
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: I don't know. Each company has their own processes. I'd
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: like to think that there should be people involved. Have
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: you tried talking to JCS Gold? I mean, I don't
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: want to turn this into an extra commercial for them,
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: but I know that they're there every day between 10
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: and 4 Eastern. Again, what is their phone number?
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: 434.
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: This is great. We should give you a commission on this, John.
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: 434- Nine, nine, seven, nine.
• 32:28
  Speaker 13: Nine, nine.
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: No, no, no. Nine, seven, nine.
• 32:33
  Speaker 28: Nine, seven, nine. Got it.
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: Two, six, four, six.
• 32:39
  Speaker 28: Two, six, four, six.
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: Which spells out the word coin if you're, if you
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: forget or whatever, but they get there at 10 o'clock.
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: Give them a call. I don't know. I don't know
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: if there are, best practices to doing that. There are
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: reasons sometimes computers have stuck their busy body nose into
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: our world. One of them even in this world. So
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: like we're giving away these tickets to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: and somebody asked me about a week or so ago
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: if we were doing call in to win. And I said,
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: I've stopped doing that. And they said, well, why did
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: you stop because that's like a traditional rage, call her 10,
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: you know. It's because so many people listen online, like
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: you're listening to 105.7 down there in Vero, so you're
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: hearing us, you know, live. But if somebody's listening to
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: the web stream like Andy over in Sarasota, he's actually
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: listening to us 15 to 20 seconds, maybe even as
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: much as 30 seconds behind when we actually say, so
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: if I said call now, he's not hearing call now
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: until 20 people have called before him. So we found
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: that there's an inequity to doing it in that way
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: because of computers. But I have to think that if
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: you set up an account with people that you could
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: automatically do that. It may have to do with bank
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: accounts and things like that. Again, I don't know enough
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: about the business. But I do know that if I
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: needed to get a question answered, I'd call James or
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: his family, you know, and they'd be able to answer
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: that for you.
• 34:27
  Speaker 28: Thank you so much, Joe.
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: No, it's my pleasure. Anything else on your mind this morning?
• 34:34
  Speaker 28: No, that's it. Other than to say you have a wonderful,
• 34:37
  Speaker 28: informative show, and I really deeply enjoy it every day.
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: Well, we enjoy having you down there in Vero. So
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: you have a good morning, sir. God bless. You too.
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: Ciao. Bye-bye. 434-882-4217. Another satisfied customer. And I'm sure I'll
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: get a text message saying, oh, I'm sure that was
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: just a setup. Because we have this distrust. And this
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: goes back to, if you're joining us in progress, last
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: hour Kareem called and it is deeply distrustful of the
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: public presentations. And I don't think that's a problem. I
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: grew up in a city that's known for our ability
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: to distrust what somebody says to us. I think that's
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: the Latin translation of our state motto is, yeah, right.
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: Says you, pal. But one of the first things, you know,
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: I always judge information by, and I'm always going to
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: look for second, third, fourth sources on things, is what
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: is the speaker? What is the delivery of this information
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: trying to do? And if there's a subtitle, oh, hey,
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: I wanted you to know about this, whatever it is. Oh,
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: by the way, you can order it at my website. Oh,
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: so you were telling me that to get me to
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: buy it, which is okay. Don't pretend like you've given
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: me news and then try to upsell me something. That's
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: the part where I start to get salty with you.
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: We're coming up on a spot here where we have
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: to pay our bills. You know, the Mumford T Firefly,
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: suck it from the sky, downlink Antoni. Don't fly up
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: there for frizz. Did you see the story that the
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: Enterprise or whatever it's called, Starship, went up there and
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: just It was like a spray gun with Starlink satellites,
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: just like spraying like hundreds of Starlink satellites out there.
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: I know the Starship only managed to go about three
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: quarters of the way up to its predicted altitude and
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: then landed. And I like the news story. And then
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: the Starship landed safely in the ocean and then burst
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: into flames. I'm sorry, I I don't count that as
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: safely landing in the ocean, but then again, I don't
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: work for Elon Musk either. If he's interested, 434-882-4217. Elon,
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: is that you?
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: No, this is Clark. Go shamelessly monetize the forum and
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: then come back to me.
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: All right, yes, because the lions don't get fed for
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: free here in the forum. 434-882-4217 for your dining and
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: dancing questions. Pleasure. Emails come in to JTInTheMorningRadio at gmail.com.
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: And we haven't even scratched the surface. This Cornell 7 thing,
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: but there's more on Krista Pike. The Digger movie has
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: failed miserably, which I think may be a good thing.
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: The shootout in Georgia.
• 38:01
  Speaker 24: Life can change so abruptly.
• 38:04
  Speaker 10: Just ask Paul.
• 38:05
  Speaker 24: He's a hardworking entrepreneur.
• 38:07
  Speaker 19: He's young.
• 38:07
  Speaker 24: He's got a young family. Suddenly, though, he develops a
• 38:10
  Speaker 24: rare medical condition where he lost the use of both
• 38:13
  Speaker 24: of his arms.
• 38:14
  Speaker 27: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer,
• 38:16
  Speaker 27: couldn't type, couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold
• 38:18
  Speaker 27: my son, who was about a month old.
• 38:20
  Speaker 24: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
• 38:23
  Speaker 24: but they're so thankful that they're members of MediShare.
• 38:27
  Speaker 27: I think if someone asked me like, Hey, does MediShare
• 38:30
  Speaker 27: really work? I'm living proof that it works. My four
• 38:33
  Speaker 27: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
• 38:36
  Speaker 27: have been healed, are living proof that MediShare works. Just
• 38:40
  Speaker 27: knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
• 38:42
  Speaker 27: are going to be taken care of when we have
• 38:44
  Speaker 27: some type of medical problem, that is such a huge
• 38:46
  Speaker 27: blessing to us.
• 38:47
  Speaker 24: It could be a huge blessing to you, too. People
• 38:50
  Speaker 24: save so much and love being part of MediShare.

  Speaker 1: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer and
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: healthy cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you

  Speaker 13: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 40:06
  Speaker 13: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 40:10
  Speaker 13: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 40:13
  Speaker 13: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 40:17
  Speaker 13: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 40:22
  Speaker 13: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 40:26
  Speaker 13: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 40:29
  Speaker 13: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 40:33
  Speaker 13: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 40:38
  Speaker 13: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 40:43
  Speaker 13: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 40:46
  Speaker 13: enforcement arm the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
• 40:54
  Speaker 13: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 40:59
  Speaker 21: Hi, everybody.
• 40:59
  Speaker 22: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 41:01
  Speaker 22: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 41:05
  Speaker 22: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 41:06
  Speaker 22: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 41:09
  Speaker 22: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes.
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: Who work hard to provide for their young.
• 41:14
  Speaker 22: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 41:18
  Speaker 22: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 41:21
  Speaker 22: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 41:23
  Speaker 22: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
• 41:26
  Speaker 22: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
• 41:29
  Speaker 22: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 41:32
  Speaker 22: they also perform life-saving work every day. Dogs keep us
• 41:35
  Speaker 22: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 41:38
  Speaker 22: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 41:41
  Speaker 22: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 41:44
  Speaker 22: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
• 41:47
  Speaker 22: and help those in need. So please join me and
• 41:49
  Speaker 22: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
• 41:52
  Speaker 22: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go
• 41:55

• 41:59
  Speaker 18: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 42:01
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah?
• 42:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 42:04
  Speaker 17: And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 18: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Heart and brain.
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 27: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 42:15
  Speaker 18: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 42:18
  Speaker 18: somebody call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 16: Love that guy.
• 42:21
  Speaker 18: Me too.
• 42:21
  Speaker 9: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 42:24
  Speaker 9: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 42:29
  Speaker 14: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 42:31
  Speaker 14: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 42:35
  Speaker 14: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 14: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:42
  Speaker 14: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 42:46
  Speaker 14: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 42:52
  Speaker 14: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 42:55
  Speaker 14: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulations. Another time
• 42:59
  Speaker 14: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 43:01
  Speaker 14: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 43:04
  Speaker 14: the Energy Guide label.
• 43:06
  Speaker 7: And there are.
• 43:07
  Speaker 14: Day-to-day things you can do. Lower your thermostat in winter
• 43:11
  Speaker 14: and raise it in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when
• 43:14
  Speaker 14: they're not in use. And keep air filters clean. For
• 43:17
  Speaker 14: more tips on saving money by reducing your energy waste,

  Speaker 15: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 43:33
  Speaker 15: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 43:35
  Speaker 15: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 43:41
  Speaker 15: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 43:44
  Speaker 15: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 43:49
  Speaker 15: at maketheconnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
• 43:53
  Speaker 15: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: This is Independence from Virginia, again. First thing today by
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:36
  Speaker 20: I'm just.
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: Trying to get clear with the Canadian broadcasters here. Required
• 44:48
  Speaker 7: number of Canadian minutes. No tariffs. Our friends up in
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: Sandpoint and all the transmissions that go head over north
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: of the border. Is that Alberta?
• 45:02
  Speaker 14: Alberta?
• 45:03
  Speaker 7: I think it's the Alberta border. It might be British
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: Columbia there, but it's Alberta. That could be state number 51.
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: It's a pretty big one, though. Texas might have something
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: to say. At least we'd be able to replace Texas
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: with a conservative state if it were to be. At 434-882-4217, well,
• 45:21
  Speaker 7: they're working so hard to be a good leftist these days.
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: work so hard to turn Texas blue only to have
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: us admit Alberta into the union and, and, and make,
• 45:36
  Speaker 7: you know, give that like twice as many electoral votes
• 45:38
  Speaker 7: or something like that. That would be, that would just
• 45:41
  Speaker 7: be cruel and unusual punishment. But that's the, those, those
• 45:45
  Speaker 7: are the people, the activists, the ones that want a
• 45:48
  Speaker 7: new set of rights. They want to write to your money.
• 45:51
  Speaker 7: And Teresa's email from earlier is indicative. It's, it's, you know, sure.
• 45:57
  Speaker 7: Are there people who you would feel like have more
• 46:00
  Speaker 7: money than they need? Okay. But remember when, I think
• 46:06
  Speaker 7: it was the Clinton administration and the luxury yacht tax,
• 46:10
  Speaker 7: and there was an entire town, coastal town in North Carolina,
• 46:14
  Speaker 7: that ostensibly went Bethlehem on us. The whole town dried
• 46:20
  Speaker 7: up because the whole town's industry was was building ships,
• 46:24
  Speaker 7: building boats. So when they taxed the luxury yachts and
• 46:29
  Speaker 7: the luxury yacht builders went out of business, a lot
• 46:34
  Speaker 7: of blue-collar middle-class families actually bore the brunt of that.
• 46:39
  Speaker 7: So there's always consequences, I guess, is what it is.
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: It's nice to say. It's populist. It's one of the
• 46:46
  Speaker 7: reasons we try to be popularer. but we don't do
• 46:50
  Speaker 7: it by being populist on the first thing today by
• 46:54
  Speaker 7: Joe Thomas. Clark was hanging on the line while we
• 46:57
  Speaker 7: paid some of our bills there. Thank you for hanging
• 46:59
  Speaker 7: on Clark. What's on your mind this morning, sir?
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: Well, if we got all into, if you limit how
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: much money I can make, you're going to limit how
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: much I work would be a good topic. But if
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: we do that, we won't get to the Cornell eight,
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: which after this conversation, you're going to refer to them
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: as Joe.
• 47:16
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: All right. Now, The young lady had, by her account,
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: had 10 alcoholic beverages before she went to the frat house, correct?
• 47:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I did see that in the story, that she
• 47:31
  Speaker 7: arrived at the party several sheets to the wind, as
• 47:36
  Speaker 7: we used to call it.
• 47:38
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: Now, if she had gotten into an automobile... and killed
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: seven people in a drunk driving accident, would the establishment
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: where she can send the 10 alcoholic beverages be held
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: in some way accountable?
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, they would.
• 47:54
  Speaker 7: We know this.
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: We don't have to speculate. It's happened multiple times.
• 47:57
  Speaker 7: Yes, it is in the law.
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: Okay. So if she can send these alcoholic beverages at
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: her sorority and then left there after 10 alcoholic beverages,
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: the sorority bears some responsibility for what happened. Thing number one.
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: Thing number two. During the orgy, what do you call
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: participants in an orgy, Joe? I don't even know. Let's
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: call them orgians, okay?
• 48:25
  Speaker 7: Orgasmatrons.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: Sometimes, yes. Orgasmes. I don't know. Anyway, at some time
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: during this debacle, she stopped the orgy. So they could
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: check on one of the unconscious orgiastics. Because he was
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: unconscious and she was concerned that he wasn't breathing. By definition, Joe,
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: she was the most responsible person there. She was an
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: equal participant. This is all about Georgetta Floyd. And we
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: can't call it the Cornell 7. It's the Cornell 8.
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: Because she was a willing participant. And here's the last thing.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: If she was too drunk to consent, then weren't they too...
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: drunk to form intent? Are we just going to make drunkenness,
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: you're not responsible? Matter of fact, from now on, you
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: kill somebody drunk driving, you were too drunk to form intent,
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: you're not responsible.
• 49:32
  Speaker 7: Well, that's part of, there is a subtext to this,
• 49:35
  Speaker 7: eight or nine moving parts in what you just said.
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: But the first about it is intent and responsibility. And
• 49:44
  Speaker 7: the point I was making about this whole story is
• 49:47
  Speaker 7: that justice had been gone through in some way, shape,
• 49:52
  Speaker 7: or form, not to obviously her liking, so she's sued,
• 49:57
  Speaker 7: but to assign a special prosecutor to to say, let's
• 50:04
  Speaker 7: look at why. Kathy Hochul is, well, aside from just
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: being an abomination who's probably going to lose an election
• 50:16
  Speaker 7: to a guy that half the state doesn't even know
• 50:18
  Speaker 7: who he is, but they're going to vote for him anyway.
• 50:22
  Speaker 7: And that's polling data saying that 47% of New Yorkers
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: don't know who Bruce Blakeman is, yet he's within four
• 50:30
  Speaker 7: points of Kathy Hochul. in their race for governor. That's stunning.
• 50:35
  Speaker 7: So she's, she's playing this populist card trying to, you know,
• 50:40
  Speaker 7: shore up her phony baloney job. And this is the
• 50:46
  Speaker 7: part of this that I find most distasteful. It's not
• 50:49
  Speaker 7: about getting justice. It's not about fixing a broken system.
• 50:52
  Speaker 7: It's about keeping Kathy Hochul as governor of New York
• 50:57
  Speaker 7: so she can hand out pork to her friends. And it's,
• 51:01
  Speaker 7: It's going to besmirch some innocent people, whether it be
• 51:06
  Speaker 7: the sorority that had the party where she had 10
• 51:11
  Speaker 7: alcoholic beverages or the fraternity where the orgy happened or
• 51:17
  Speaker 7: any of these things is detestable on its face to
• 51:22
  Speaker 7: me because it's being manipulated for purely a political reason.
• 51:27
  Speaker 7: And her party is the party that wrote Title IX
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: and insisted that part of Title IX include the insistence
• 51:35
  Speaker 7: that Cornell University do the investigation, not the– was it–
• 51:43
  Speaker 7: it's not– well, Ithaca City Police or the county commonwealth's
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: attorney or district attorney or anything like that?
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: Well– At least they didn't turn it over to the
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: park police.
• 51:58
  Speaker 7: I guess we can count our blessings for that.
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: What Kathy Hochul did was just announce that the whole
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: thing was rigged by appointing Leticia James. So there's that. And,
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: you know, at the risk of offending Otter from Animal House,
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: if this is an indictment of anything, Joe, it's of
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: the fraternity and sorority systems.
• 52:23
  Speaker 7: Well, there is that, and there is a reason. This
• 52:25
  Speaker 7: went on when we had the phony baloney gonzo journalist
• 52:29
  Speaker 7: Hunter S. Thompson award-winning bunch of hogwash called a rape
• 52:35
  Speaker 7: on campus in Rolling Stone magazine. As we got into
• 52:39
  Speaker 7: what is the efficacy of the fraternity and sorority system
• 52:45
  Speaker 7: on our American campuses and has it outlived its usefulness?
• 52:51
  Speaker 21: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:55
  Speaker 21: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: was no hassles. There was no problem.
• 53:02
  Speaker 21: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:05
  Speaker 21: of such an incredible ministry.
• 53:07
  Speaker 17: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
• 53:11
  Speaker 17: share each other's medical expenses.
• 53:13
  Speaker 9: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick.
• 53:17
  Speaker 14: With you through the hardest times of your life.
• 53:20
  Speaker 17: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old,
• 53:25
  Speaker 17: and members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
• 53:27
  Speaker 17: medical bills.
• 53:28
  Speaker 23: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: You can focus on supporting other people.
• 53:33
  Speaker 18: MediShare is affordable.
• 53:35
  Speaker 17: MediShare is biblical.
• 53:36
  Speaker 26: MediShare is family.
• 53:37
  Speaker 17: Join thousands of Christians who can help you save on
• 53:40
  Speaker 17: your health care and support your family when you need it.
