• 0:13
  Speaker 2: including Saturday, at least.

• 0:38
  Speaker 5: Governor Morrissey, how do.
• 0:39
  Speaker 6: Is West Virginia heel? And how does it get stronger?
• 0:43
  Speaker 6: I think we do.
• 0:44
  Speaker 7: The way we do it is through prayer and by
• 0:46
  Speaker 7: sending our positive messages to the families of Andrew.
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: Of course, speaking of the remaining National Guard UH serviceman
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: who is clinging for life in a DC area hospital,
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: his compatriot succumbed to her injuries at the age of
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: twenty or Dad issued a painful and difficult statement and
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: bless him for it, because I don't know if I'd
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: be able to do such things. We'll get into what
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: is so predictable and really dispiriting as finger pointing starts
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: over all this instead of thinking about how does this
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: come about? How does somebody travel all the way across
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: the country, and you listen to the commentators, you make
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: it sound like this twenty nine year old who shot
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: and killed one National Guard service member and has grievously
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: wounded another in a broad daylight, brazen shooting the night
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: before Thanksgiving. They make it sound like he was triggered
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: because they were National Guards troops in his neighborhood he
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: didn't live. And if this was completely on the other
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: side of the country, just like the guy who shot
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: the US Healthcare CEO traveled thousands of miles to commit
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: this murder. If that doesn't tell you a lot, then
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: you need to check up from the neck up. If
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: that's not your first question saying, okay, who paid for
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: this guy's bus tickets? Did he buy them himself or
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: or was he helped Because one of the first things
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: they did with Timothy McVeigh when he blew up the
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: Murrah building in Oklahoma City was figure out who it
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: was that was helping him, who helped him rent the truck,
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: who helped him get all the fertilizer and diesel fuel,
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: And that's how they wound up getting the network down
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: and capture him and the fellow that put him up
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: to it, because there's lots and lots that goes on
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: to this, and it just to trigger you a little
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: bit further on this Saturday morning, here's a clip from
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: a public affairs program that I think speaks volumes to
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: where we are and it gives voice to the point
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: I've been making for years on this this week on.
• 3:19
  Speaker 8: People should not be politicized. People are not chess piesis
• 3:22
  Speaker 8: they deserve the benefits that they're entitled to receive.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: People should not be politicized people. And we've heard this,
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: we heard this before when the argument was people can't
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: be illegal. People have entitled entitlements born into them, not
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: God given rights entitlements. That's going to be a point
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: of some conversation on this Saturday morning across the talk
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: media network to the Saturday affiliates. Many of them have
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: been picking up the program through the holidays as well.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: And it's a blessing out the Tuna State College, Long Island,
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: all of those places that as as a matter of fact,
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: we're going to be up on Long Island, we should
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: tell the folks at JVC, maybe we stop by and
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: visit there. MacArthur A Reports studios while we're up there

• 4:23
  Speaker 5: things this morning. He is the father of West Virginia
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom, noted in a heartbreaking Facebook
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: post on Thanksgiving Day, quote, my baby girl has passed
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: to glory. If I don't talk to you for a while,
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: don't be offended. This has been a horrible tragedy. We agree.

  Speaker 5: after top immigration officials said the government must quote ensure
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: that every alien is vetted and screened to the maximum
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: degree possible. Meanwhile, W. Wasserman Schultz, Democrat congressoman from Florida,
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: suggested Friday that President Trump is to blame for the
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: death of the member of the National Guard.
• 5:20
  Speaker 9: I just think, you know, the President looks everywhere except
• 5:23
  Speaker 9: inward to blame his own policies. We need to make
• 5:27
  Speaker 9: sure that we don't have our military deployed in our cities.
• 5:31
  Speaker 9: We're law doing law handling law enforcement responsibilities, and we
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: need to make sure that we address gun violence.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: Democrat officials and commentators across the country are claiming that
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: the assignment of National Guard's troops to US cities is
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: the reason for the shooting. Meanwhile, across the country, reports
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: of pro terrorist protesters storming retail outlets carrying Palestinian flags
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: trying to block access to shop centers on Black Friday,

  Speaker 2: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: their values and what they believe in. Meda Share works too.

• 8:07
  Speaker 12: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 12: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 12: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 12: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 12: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 12: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 12: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51

  Speaker 1: The First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Dunk
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Media Network. All natural and free of artificial than.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: Televis Boy, you're a fellow man.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: We're not good for anybody. Shop the Promise Land when
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: everything comes Eason, you.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: Just told out, I know what you're gonna say. You're
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: gonna say j T. Come on, man, you're better than this.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: This is what leftists always say to me. You're better
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: than this, aren't you? How do you know that? What
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: is that aspirational? Do you want me to be better
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: than than this? And of course I speak of being
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: triggered in the right way by the opening of a
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: public affairs radio program, and just it's not so much
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: that I was shocked to do hear it. It's just
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: so clearly enunciated the thing that has driven me crazy
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: for decades.
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: This week on people should not be politicized. People are
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: not chess piesis they deserve the benefits that they're entitled
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: to receive.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: This is I mean, if you want to sum up
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: the American left and perhaps even the global left, that's it,
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: one sentence right there. Activist. Yes, she's an activist. She's
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: an open borders activist. And as Christians, we believe that
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: all men are created equal and endowed by our Father
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: with unalienable rights, not privileges, responsibilities. Faithful people believe that
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: we have responsibilities to our community. We don't have entitlements
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: from our community. But this is the gray area. I'm
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: not even sure it's gray. This is more charcoal this
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: area where they live and breed this idea that we
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: should have open borders. And what they do is they
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: pervert Locke's philosophy and given governmental haft. By Thomas Jefferson,
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: a fella, I know a little bit about living here
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: in the Charlottesville area. When Jefferson takes Locke almost word
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: for word, they couldn't use property because at that point
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: they were still fighting over whether people could be property.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: But when they wrote, we hold these truths to be
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: self evident, that all men are created equal, and that
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights,
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: amongst them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: to secure these rights, this is the part activists like
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: this always forget. They stop at the life, liberty, pursuit
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: of happiness. They pretend the rest of the statement, the
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: preamble doesn't exist. That to secure these rights, governments are
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: instituted among men, deriving the just powers from the governed.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: That is the That is the punchline, which insists that
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: there be citizenship that you have, that you are part
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: of this covenant, that you have agreed to do your part.
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: And I know I'm just, I'm being pedantic about this one.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: Lady's statement, she's she's just trying to get her clickbait on.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: But I haven't heard such an eloquent simples. We got
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: to save this one because it is it's it's such
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: a brevity of words. She sums up the whole American
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: left and beyond just immigration policy policy. On this Saturday morning,
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: we see who's out there at four three four eight
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: eight two four two one seven. If you're just catching
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: the program, you're like, what the heck is this is
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: he live on a Saturday? Doesn't he know all the
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: cool talk show hosts takes Saturday off and not when
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: all this stuff happens Friday afternoon and you're out there working,
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Why wouldn't we be out here working. That's the business
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: model on Saturdays. But in general, the business model of
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: the program is I'll tell you what went on, I'll
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: tell you what I think about what went on, but
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: mostly I'll want to see hear how it's impacting you

• 18:45
  Speaker 5: appreciates our encouragement of you, and he hopes that you
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: find your calling soon. Actually, another listener pointed out that
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of independent nursing war out there, home
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: nursing programs, and not even just on your own, but
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: like companies that do home visits and that kind of thing.
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: And I hadn't even thought about it, but especially in
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: the elder care world where a lot of folks are
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: you know, they're they're they're trying to care for their
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: loved ones and and things like that. I know we
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: hire somebody, a dear friend of mine, but she has

  Speaker 5: I think you might be able to find some seasoned
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: citizens in Florida. Joel, I'm not sure, but maybe that's
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: an avenue if you haven't thought about it. I mean,
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: I get it. A lot of people in my business,
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: they all think that they have to work for I
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: this or Cume that or some some big corporation until
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: they find out that they were laid off, you know,
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: six months shy of retirement. Sorry, sucks to be you.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: And in hospitals of the same way, everyone thinks, Oh,
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: if I'm in the medical profession, I better go work
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: for a hospital. Be creative. Think about some of these,
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: you know, small independent operators. No I have.
• 20:15
  Speaker 22: I've interviewed for certain things. No good home care. I
• 20:18
  Speaker 22: can't homecare. I can't do. I'm highly allergic to cats.
• 20:21
  Speaker 22: I like them and dogs. But anyway, anyway, I wanted
• 20:25
  Speaker 22: to bring this up. So there's three hundred and forty
• 20:27
  Speaker 22: two hostillion people in America. We have what about four
• 20:34
  Speaker 22: hundred and thirty five serving in Congress, and maybe about
• 20:38
  Speaker 22: what one hundred senators, about five hundred and thirty five altogether,
• 20:41
  Speaker 22: and then the president and then the vice president and
• 20:46
  Speaker 22: then Secretary of State, we have the Supreme Court, what none,
• 20:51
  Speaker 22: and then and then there's laws in the books, and
• 20:55
  Speaker 22: there's statutes and all that. And then we have the military,
• 20:59
  Speaker 22: so military active Reserve. I think there's about two million,
• 21:04
  Speaker 22: three hundred and something.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: It's about one of the population. Last time I saw.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well what I read was not to correct.
• 21:13
  Speaker 22: I mean recently I just read, but it was like
• 21:15
  Speaker 22: zero point four percent of the population is serving in America.
• 21:20
  Speaker 22: And we have people in America that just disrespect the military,
• 21:25
  Speaker 22: they disrespect the police, and they think they can say
• 21:29
  Speaker 22: and do whatever they want. Now, we do have First
• 21:32
  Speaker 22: Amendment rights, but there's there's certain rights that aren't guarded.
• 21:38
  Speaker 22: Like inciting violence.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: That's not a right. That's that's not a right, that's
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: a crime. You have a right, you know. We we
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: guarantee your right to peaceably assemble. That's the right, and
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: that's what the people are forgetting. And you're right though,
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: I mean, but you know, we have to protect your rights,
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: not your indulgences.

  Speaker 18: that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
• 22:15
  Speaker 18: be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could

• 24:31
  Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

  Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:42
  Speaker 12: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and

  Speaker 5: On this Saturday morning. When we ran to the news
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: at half past Joel was in there.
• 28:41
  Speaker 16: You know.
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: We were talking about this activist that I just caught
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: wind of. And she's not alone, she's she's one of multitude. Boy,
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: and the more liberal your area, the more of them
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: there are there are, and some of them even make
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: it onto news desks and anchored desks this week on.
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: People should not be politicized.
• 29:02
  Speaker 25: People are not chess pieces.
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: People should not be politicized. They're not, but that's what
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: they make it out to be. They make it out
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: that these are, you know, just chess pieces to be
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: moved around Bongo, just pawned in game of life. Anyway, Joel,
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: I appreciate you hanging on through the news break there
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: finish your thought for us on the Saturday morning. What
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: what we're getting at.
• 29:27
  Speaker 22: I think they are rights, but they're not rights. They're
• 29:31
  Speaker 22: actually promoting hate speech and violence. And and these are
• 29:35
  Speaker 22: people that are actually in positions of you know, oracle position,
• 29:40
  Speaker 22: I mean, you know oracle positions where they where they
• 29:43
  Speaker 22: seek and the representative of government and and and they
• 29:48
  Speaker 22: have to be examples of the Constitution, not just for themselves,
• 29:54
  Speaker 22: but the Constitution and that thing that's what's for that's
• 29:59
  Speaker 22: what's forgotten.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: In the American I mean, I don't know if it's forgotten.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: It's ignored for sure by people.
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: You know, well, I think it's willful. I don't even
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: think it's it's such a matter of like, oops, I forgot. Uh,
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: it's willful ignorance that they ignore these boundaries because they
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: want to be the king. They you know what it
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: was Mel Brookes line, it's good to be the king,
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: and it is. And that's what these folks covet. They
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: covet the power, they covet the authority to move money
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: around that play like they're all venture capitalists on Shark
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: Tank and look at Oh, I can get your business
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: this money, and I can get your business that money in,
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: and I can get you this for your family. And
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: and it's it's a corrupted, corrosive weakness that all humans have.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: We all fall prey to it and and we have
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: to battle it just like any other of our vices there.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: But when it a mass is into these groups. This
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: is why the checks and balances system was designed by
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: Madison and the Constitutional Congress was to not allow one
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: group of these people to become overtly powerful and start
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: to hand out indulgences. Because now, I think what you're sensing,
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: and I think you're right, is that we we've become
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: this entitlement addicted society.
• 31:28
  Speaker 22: I think there's this. I think the big one of
• 31:31
  Speaker 22: the big issues with that too is as like you said,
• 31:35
  Speaker 22: there's willful you know, wilful neglect on memory. And then
• 31:40
  Speaker 22: there's also a lack of civics that are that are taught.
• 31:44
  Speaker 22: I mean a lot of these a lot of these
• 31:46
  Speaker 22: people in government don't even know the civics of America,
• 31:50
  Speaker 22: the history.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: Or they think that it's worthy of being ignored. There
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: are some who you know, will actively say, no, we
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: must ignore that because thus and such, you know, because
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: they couldn't, you know, get slavery taken out in the
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: Declaration of Independence. Everything that followed is corrupted. And that's
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: not Christian, That is not Christians at all.
• 32:11
  Speaker 22: I'm sorry, I'm gonnarupt, But you know, I wonder if
• 32:14
  Speaker 22: any I wonder if they actually like put somebody on
• 32:17
  Speaker 22: the spot and read them the the.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: You know, the test for citizenship if they can pass.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, no, are you kidding. I've seen some
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: service years ago. Years ago, some folks did that and
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: gave some you know, college freshmen the citizens Ship test
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: for new citizens and all of them failed or you know,
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: maybe one percent past. And it's it really it's pathetic.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: But you used to have to pass something like that
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: just to get your high school diploma.
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: That's that makes sense. I mean, that's and they should.
• 32:56
  Speaker 22: They should also able to understand what the parts of
• 33:03
  Speaker 22: the Constitution are too, right, especially when they're especially when
• 33:08
  Speaker 22: they're vocalizing what they think is part of the Constitution.
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: Well, that's what we try to do here. And sometimes
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: I get in trouble because, oh, my gosh, show you're
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: going on about the commerce caluse again, and some of
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: it has been mendela out of us. You know, we think,
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: you know, because it sounds nice to say, you know,
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: we're going to give you this. Oh it says right there,
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare. And no,
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: it doesn't say we're going to give you welfare. It
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: says to promote the general welfare, just like in the
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: Constitution is seventeen eighty nine Press didn't mean news media
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: and oh my friend's sister. Ah right, yeah, got yet. Yeah,
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry. You call me a turncoat, call me all
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: the names you want to come up with. When the
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: First Amendment, which was originally going to be the Third Amendment,
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: guaranteed freedom of the press, it meant the freedom to publish,
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: which includes your substack account. And the beauty of things
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: like the Bill of Rights is that it was so
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: well written to take into account for future technology. You
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: are guaranteed the right to publish, regardless of how you
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: do that publication. You know, one of the things that
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: we forget, and this is similar to the way when
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: we talk about the seven deadly vices, we always forget
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: that there are seven virtues that counterbalance and cancel them out,
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: like diligence and chastity and honesty. Each one of those
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: rights comes with a counterbalancing responsibility. You have the right
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: to publish. You don't have the right to defame. You
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: have the right to gather and peaceably petition for a
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: redress of your grievances. Not what we've been seeing on
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: the streets and the pro hamas protesters on the streets
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: of places like New York City. Here do you clip again?
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: You know, by the way, what do we want justice?
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: These are a bunch of Caucasian middle aged men and
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: women demanding justice for people that would blow them up
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: as soon as they'd have tea with them. And you know,
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: if you watch the video of the this is from
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: Zara's department store in New York City, it's all the
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: same folks. They've changed their shirts. It used to be
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: living wage now, then it was Black Lives Matter. Now
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: it's justice for Hamas, or justice for Gaza, or Jewish
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: Senior Citizens, for God for Hamas, LGBTQ for Hamas, And
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: still I will be on my deathbed saying one of
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: the most brilliant instances in modern American advertising was how
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: in the hell did Hamas manage to find a way
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: to get themselves rebranded as a marginalized community. The left
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: must have just been desperate looking for some new group
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: to come to the aid of Like knights and white satin, Well,
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: they're more like knights under white sheets, but there's some
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: white involved in it. The sheet they're hiding under the
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: skin that they're hiding under the sheet, something is white
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: in there, and so they get their protest on and
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: try to disrupt, try to cause violence against shoppers. They're
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: swinging This video from Stockton, California, somebody's swinging a Hamas
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: flag around in the store. They're protesting because they don't
• 37:43

  Speaker 5: three four eighty two four two one seven is our
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: phone number. Thanksgiving weekend and one are the subtexts that
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: I think we lose sometimes with all the Black Friday
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: and Small Business Saturday, and by all means you know,
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: the supporters of this program or small businesses, so make
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: sure you don't forget that. But the gratitude that was
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: at the root of the first Thanksgivings, which was the
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: gratitude of pure survival, not even thankful for friends or
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: thankful for you know, my family, or just pure survival.
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: And it's with that a really interesting book that hits
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: home to me, having you know, my grandfather consumed by
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: his fifth heart attack at about the age of fifty five.
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: My father eventually succumbing to heart disease even though he
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: was acutely aware of it, I guess is aware as
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: somebody who worked in restaurants in the sixties and seventies
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: could be aware of it or cognizant of it. The
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: miracle man William Breemeyer is the author of it. In
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: a subtitle of the Remarkable True Account of Faith, Healing
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: and Restoration in the Face of Impossible odds, Bill, thank
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: you very much for taking some time out with us.
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: This book is available Amazon and and places like that.
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: I guess let's set true.
• 46:19
  Speaker 21: Not in the stories yet, probably will be soon.
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: Okay, well, you know looking forward to it and you
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: can find it. Do you keep a website for it or.
• 46:30
  Speaker 21: Not yet? That's being created, but it's not up and
• 46:33
  Speaker 21: running yet.
• 46:34
  Speaker 5: So then there there are no spoilers for me to
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: give away. I can just ask you anything then pretty much. So,
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: so take us on this story. This is about you know, uh,
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: as I understand it from your publicist. You you received
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: a heart transplant and and that's when the story begins
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: or is that you know, in the midpoint of the story,
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: tell us tell us this situation that you wound up
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: eating a heart transplant.
• 47:01
  Speaker 21: In that's more than midpoint. Let me start at the beginning.
• 47:05
  Speaker 21: January first, twenty eighteen, I had my first heart attack.
• 47:11
  Speaker 21: Had only been retired for a few months. I was
• 47:15
  Speaker 21: completely plugged on the left artery, left side artery, and
• 47:21
  Speaker 21: got to the hospital just in time. They shipped me
• 47:25
  Speaker 21: to another hospital downtown Grand Rapids, and they did four stents.
• 47:29
  Speaker 21: They put four stance in me. I had quite a
• 47:32
  Speaker 21: few complications, pretty serious. I was in the hospital for
• 47:36
  Speaker 21: twelve days and when I was discharged, my prognosis wasn't good.
• 47:43
  Speaker 21: They said I was likely to repeat or to continue
• 47:47
  Speaker 21: to have heart conditions. So I determined that I was
• 47:52
  Speaker 21: going to do a much better job of staying healthy.
• 47:55
  Speaker 21: I had just quit smoking. I started to eat a
• 47:58
  Speaker 21: healthier diet and go to the gym three times a week,
• 48:03
  Speaker 21: and it really helped for six six full years before
• 48:09
  Speaker 21: I got the RSV virus in twenty twenty three, just
• 48:14
  Speaker 21: before Thanksgiving. It lasted all the way past New Year's
• 48:19
  Speaker 21: and it caused three main additional problems. I went from
• 48:24
  Speaker 21: having one minor heart heart a rhythm excuse me that
• 48:28
  Speaker 21: was easily treatable, to three hearted rhythmiess. So my heart
• 48:32
  Speaker 21: was like a V eight engine running on three four cylinders.
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: Oh gosh if that.
• 48:37
  Speaker 21: And I also got congestive heart heart failure stage four.
• 48:42
  Speaker 21: I was putting on a lot of fluid because my
• 48:44
  Speaker 21: heart wasn't pumping properly, and my right side artery was
• 48:49
  Speaker 21: nearly completely blocked. Those were all all caused by RSV,
• 48:54
  Speaker 21: and so I had three more stints put in. They
• 48:57
  Speaker 21: tried numerous medications in the devices they were They were
• 49:02
  Speaker 21: going to put a a pacer in me, which is
• 49:06
  Speaker 21: a combination pace maker slash defibrillator or an oblation procedure.
• 49:13
  Speaker 21: When I finally got a call based on an echo
• 49:15
  Speaker 21: cardiogram just before that was supposed to happen, and they
• 49:19
  Speaker 21: determined that my heart had deteriorated so much they couldn't
• 49:22
  Speaker 21: use either one of those devices, and I ended up
• 49:26
  Speaker 21: in the hospital.
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: Gosh, Now, what was your mindset at this point? Was
• 49:33
  Speaker 5: you know, you said you had just retired. I imagine
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: you had plans for this retirement that didn't involve all
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: this time in the hospital. What was your mindset at
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: this point?
• 49:46
  Speaker 21: I'm, you know, just a man of faith, and I
• 49:48
  Speaker 21: totally believe that, you know, God was gonna you know,
• 49:51
  Speaker 21: he was in control. So I was, I was going
• 49:53
  Speaker 21: to heal, It's going to get better. And so for
• 49:56
  Speaker 21: those six additional years, I lived a fairly normal life,
• 50:01
  Speaker 21: do a lot of volunteer work, especially at the Kalamazoo
• 50:03
  Speaker 21: Air Zoo in Kalamzoo, Michigan, where we where we restore
• 50:07
  Speaker 21: old World War two naval aircraft that came out of
• 50:10
  Speaker 21: Lake Michigan when we did carrier training during World War Two. Yeah,
• 50:15
  Speaker 21: and so I was literally finishing up an eleven year project,
• 50:20
  Speaker 21: an FM two Wildcat had been cut in half. It
• 50:24
  Speaker 21: had an engine failure on takeoff, went right over the
• 50:27
  Speaker 21: front of the carrier because the pilot couldn't stop in time,
• 50:29
  Speaker 21: and it went right through one of the side paddle
• 50:32
  Speaker 21: wheels on this giant converted passenger ship that was steam driven.
• 50:37
  Speaker 21: Cut it right in half, and so we spent eleven
• 50:40
  Speaker 21: years literally rebuilding it and making it look just like new.
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: Wow it is you remind me of my buddy Gary,
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: who does you know? It actually performs and makes, you know,
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: recreations of nose art for folks, And it's a brilliant
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: Bill Breemeyer. And the story is just you know one,
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: as he says, of faith. Hang on a bit, Bill,
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: I want to talk a little bit more about what
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: comes next. We have folks on the line here, Doctor

• 51:38
  Speaker 5: like hell, but saved my life. I don't I can't recall.
