Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: I'm more mega now make America great again than I've
- 0:08Speaker 1: ever been.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
- 0:12Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas. Music Happy Ted's day.
- 0:36Speaker 3: It is disappointing how few voices there are in conservative
- 0:39Speaker 3: media who are protesting President Trump on any of this.
- 0:43Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, Jake, really Jake Tapper lecturing us
- 0:47Speaker 4: on how to be journalists. You mean the guy who
- 0:50Speaker 4: intentionally sat on stories of President Biden's mental decline and
- 0:58Speaker 4: then wrote a book about apologizing for it and thinks
- 1:05Speaker 4: it's all okay now. He can lecture us on what
- 1:08Speaker 4: journalistic integrity is.
- 1:10Speaker 5: You know what, Jake?
- 1:11Speaker 4: You know what President Trump should do? He should liberate
- 1:13Speaker 4: all y'all from the shackles of the White House. Because
- 1:17Speaker 4: guess what, Jake? I can cover the White House just
- 1:20Speaker 4: fine from here. And the sellout ain't worth it. And
- 1:31Speaker 4: the best part of this, and we shared a little
- 1:34Speaker 4: of it, is there is now Trump TV on YouTube.
- 1:39Speaker 4: And it is a 24-hour feed, including the White House
- 1:43Speaker 4: press briefings, of just stuff involving administration officials at any
- 1:50Speaker 4: given time. I think President Trump's announcement that Marco Rubio,
- 1:54Speaker 4: he's officially naming him National Security Adviser. was on there,
- 2:03Speaker 4: that kind of stuff. But there's a fun story that
- 2:06Speaker 4: I like to go back to when the subject of journalisms,
- 2:11Speaker 4: journalists come up. Do we have the, this is a
- 2:18Speaker 4: famous fellow talking to the American Newspaper Publishers Association some
- 2:27Speaker 4: time ago.
- 2:28Speaker 6: In 1851, New York Herald Tribune Under the sponsorship and
- 2:35Speaker 6: publishing of Horace Greeley, employed as its London correspondent, an
- 2:41Speaker 6: obscure journalist by the name of Karl Marx, we are
- 2:45Speaker 6: told that foreign correspondent Marx, stone broke, and with a
- 2:49Speaker 6: family ill and undernourished, constantly appealed to Greeley and managing
- 2:55Speaker 6: editor Charles Dana for an increase in his munificent salary
- 2:59Speaker 6: of $ 5 per installment. a salary which he and Engels
- 3:03Speaker 6: ungratefully label as the lousiest petty bourgeois cheating. But when
- 3:09Speaker 6: all his financial appeals were refused, Marx looked around for
- 3:14Speaker 6: other means of livelihood and fame, eventually terminating his relationship
- 3:18Speaker 6: with the Tribune and devoting his talents full-time to the
- 3:22Speaker 6: cause that would bequeath to the world the seeds of Leninism, Stalinism, revolution,
- 3:28Speaker 6: and the Cold War.
- 3:30Speaker 4: And never mind, Jack, the tens of millions of body
- 3:33Speaker 4: bags filled with the victims of said political movement. And
- 3:37Speaker 4: I say this, Joel writes in, a journalist is one
- 3:40Speaker 4: who has the obligation to report the news with facts
- 3:43Speaker 4: and truth. All of us have that obligation. It is
- 3:46Speaker 4: called free speech. A journalist that doesn't should be called
- 3:51Speaker 4: out for it because lying isn't protected speech, but it
- 3:57Speaker 4: is speech. And misrepresenting, leaving things out, twisting words to
- 4:05Speaker 4: benefit your narrative is what fiction authors do. I used
- 4:11Speaker 4: to have a phrase in the 17 redacted years in
- 4:15Speaker 4: my career, and we're going to try to see if
- 4:17Speaker 4: we can use it before a FedEx letter comes with
- 4:19Speaker 4: another invitation to visit a courtroom near me. But we
- 4:23Speaker 4: used to have a phrase for it. We called it factions.
- 4:27Speaker 4: where journalists would write faction, and we were supposed to
- 4:32Speaker 4: gobble it up for them, rather than just telling you
- 4:35Speaker 4: what happens. But we reward the ones who tell us
- 4:38Speaker 4: the fiction that we like to hear. We like to
- 4:42Speaker 4: have our emotions played on, and I'll get into that further.
- 4:47Speaker 4: But our first things this morning on a Ted's Day,
- 4:50Speaker 4: President Trump and apparently tweaked Iranian officials enough during his
- 4:55Speaker 4: speech to the United Nations in which he suggested he
- 4:59Speaker 4: might annihilate the nation if a deal isn't struck soon,
- 5:03Speaker 4: drove envoys from the Iranian delegation to find Steve Witkoff
- 5:08Speaker 4: and Jared Kushner, who ducked into a nearby conference room
- 5:11Speaker 4: and had a three-hour meeting. President Trump later said it
- 5:15Speaker 4: was a very good meeting, not the highest level, meaning
- 5:19Speaker 4: the Iranian officials, but it's something. Before his speech, he
- 5:23Speaker 4: signed the anticipated treaty with Denmark to include Greenland and
- 5:29Speaker 4: the United States security profile, kicking the Russians and the
- 5:34Speaker 4: Chinese out of that critical choke point, which could very
- 5:38Speaker 4: easily be a very icy version of the Strait of
- 5:41Speaker 4: Hormuz at some point. He said of the deal, it's
- 5:44Speaker 4: a tremendous day for Europe and the United States and
- 5:46Speaker 4: for everybody. And for Greenland, it's going to be incredible.
- 5:52Speaker 4: People's Republic of China Chairman Xi Jinping arrives in Washington today,
- 5:58Speaker 4: and he will meet the president at Joint Base Andrews,
- 6:01Speaker 4: where the president will go and meet the Chinese leader's plane.
- 6:08Speaker 2: U.S.
- 6:08Speaker 4: Postal Service letter carrier from Payson, Utah, pleaded not guilty
- 6:15Speaker 4: to a felony charge of destruction or delay of mail
- 6:18Speaker 4: in a case that involves 300 mail-in ballots. that Damon
- 6:24Speaker 4: Mattai C. apparently had thrown away rather than delivering them
- 6:29Speaker 4: to the election officials that were supposed to get them.
- 6:32Speaker 4: And as I mentioned, President Trump has signed a commission
- 6:35Speaker 4: permanently making Secretary of State Marco Rubio his national security advisor.
- 6:40Speaker 4: He said at the press briefing of said announcement, when
- 6:44Speaker 4: I have a problem, I call Marco. He gets it solved.
- 6:48Speaker 4: And those are our first things this morning here along
- 6:51Speaker 4: the Talk Media Network. This is what we call the
- 6:54Speaker 4: Big Finish, compensating for something. At Hot Shot Secret, we
- 7:02Speaker 4: listen to our customers.

- 8:04Speaker 11: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 11: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 11: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 11: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
- 8:43Speaker 11: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
- 8:46Speaker 11: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
- 8:51Speaker 11: cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to

- 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 5: Hi, everybody. I'm Jack Hanna.
- 10:00Speaker 13: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
- 10:01Speaker 13: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
- 10:05Speaker 13: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
- 10:07Speaker 13: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
- 10:10Speaker 13: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes who work hard
- 10:13Speaker 13: to provide for their young. Or penguins, who travel up
- 10:16Speaker 13: to 500 miles to secure food for their families. Or
- 10:19Speaker 13: bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
- 10:21Speaker 13: trees and the wild in search of fruit.
- 10:23Speaker 5: This remarkable work.
- 10:24Speaker 13: Ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines. We
- 10:28Speaker 13: know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but because
- 10:30Speaker 13: of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving work every day.
- 10:34Speaker 13: Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans,
- 10:37Speaker 13: some of whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics,
- 10:40Speaker 13: alerting them when there's a change in their blood chemistry.
- 10:43Speaker 13: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
- 10:45Speaker 13: contribute to society and help those in need. So please
- 10:48Speaker 13: join me and American Humane in supporting our heroic working
- 10:51Speaker 13: dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
- 10:54Speaker 13: inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
- 10:57Speaker 14: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 15: Oh yeah?
- 11:01Speaker 5: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:04Speaker 16: And now a speech. I just want to say that
- 11:08Speaker 16: friendship is about heart. Heart and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 11: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 14: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
- 11:15Speaker 14: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
- 11:18Speaker 14: call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 5: Love that guy.
- 11:20Speaker 8: Me too.
- 11:21Speaker 17: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 11:23Speaker 17: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:29Speaker 9: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 11:31Speaker 9: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:35Speaker 9: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 11:39Speaker 9: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42Speaker 9: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 11:46Speaker 9: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 11:51Speaker 9: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 11:54Speaker 9: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 11:58Speaker 9: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 12:00Speaker 9: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 12:04Speaker 9: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 12:08Speaker 9: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 12:11Speaker 9: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.

- 13:17Speaker 5: One million dollars.
- 13:22Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas.
- 13:28Speaker 19: The president.
- 13:33Speaker 4: United Nations speech, a speech in which, you know, he
- 13:37Speaker 4: hit the high notes. He told the gathering about America
- 13:44Speaker 4: and where we were in the world because it's important
- 13:48Speaker 4: to the world.
- 13:49Speaker 19: It's my great honor to welcome the world to America
- 13:52Speaker 19: as we celebrate 250 years of glorious freedom and independence.
- 13:58Speaker 19: Two and a half centuries after the cause of liberty
- 14:01Speaker 19: found its home on this continent, I can report to
- 14:05Speaker 19: you with pride that America is back. And our country
- 14:10Speaker 19: is stronger today than ever before. Our economy is the
- 14:18Speaker 19: envy of the world. Our military is the most powerful
- 14:21Speaker 19: on Earth. Our technology is second to none, and we
- 14:25Speaker 19: are leading in virtually everything. Our energy is fueling the planet.
- 14:30Speaker 19: America is rising. Our nation is growing. Our power is expanding.
- 14:34Speaker 19: Our country is doing better than ever before. And our
- 14:39Speaker 19: future is very, very bright.
- 14:42Speaker 4: And as much as it was an address to the
- 14:44Speaker 4: United Nations, that was a campaign message for the midterms.
- 14:50Speaker 4: The midterm elections where your representatives, you and 800 some
- 14:55Speaker 4: odd thousand of your neighbors, will choose a small handful
- 14:59Speaker 4: of people to try to represent the things that are
- 15:03Speaker 4: going on on your street. And I juxtapose this with
- 15:09Speaker 4: this whole mania over the White House press corps email
- 15:14Speaker 4: from Terry. Stricken a little bit by what I said,
- 15:22Speaker 4: listening down in Largo. By the way, Terry, Trans-Siberian Orchestra
- 15:27Speaker 4: coming to Tampa. And we have tickets to that show.
- 15:33Speaker 4: Go online to JoeThomasInTheMorning.com. for you guys down there in St.
- 15:38Speaker 5: Pete.
- 15:40Speaker 4: Upset about my point about journalism and the White House
- 15:46Speaker 4: Press Corps. Joe, the White House Press Corps is what
- 15:54Speaker 4: gives us the chance to question the president and his agenda.
- 15:58Speaker 4: And how's that working? How's that working? How is it
- 16:03Speaker 4: working today? whether it be Corinne Jean-Pierre or Carolyn Levitt,
- 16:12Speaker 4: what I've noticed as an arbiter of the zeitgeist is folks,
- 16:19Speaker 4: you know, whether it be Peter Doocy or Scott, oh gosh,
- 16:25Speaker 4: I've forgotten Scott's name already. It just, you know, he's
- 16:27Speaker 4: up and comer now. They put him on CNN to
- 16:30Speaker 4: be the, token conservative. But whoever it is, they ask
- 16:40Speaker 4: a question or, you know, some left winger asks a question.
- 16:46Speaker 4: And the question is the news clip. The White House
- 16:52Speaker 4: press secretary didn't answer my question. That's the best thing
- 16:55Speaker 4: that can happen to one of these reporters who's shackled
- 16:59Speaker 4: to the White House. You don't expect the White House
- 17:03Speaker 4: press secretary to say, gosh, gee, we never thought of that.
- 17:06Speaker 4: Let me go ask the president real quick. You guys
- 17:08Speaker 4: wait here a minute. They've come out with a prepared
- 17:11Speaker 4: list of talking points, with a prepared list of things,
- 17:14Speaker 4: and that's all well and good. They're allowed to do that.
- 17:17Speaker 4: But that's not journalism. Journalism is going out and finding
- 17:20Speaker 4: a story. To Joel's text about what journalism is, journalism
- 17:25Speaker 4: is about going to find the stories that you need
- 17:28Speaker 4: to know about. Most countries give it lip service because
- 17:31Speaker 4: they know it's popular, but they really don't want people
- 17:36Speaker 4: to know what's going on. They want people to know
- 17:44Speaker 4: what they want people to know. And so that's okay.
- 17:53Speaker 4: They're allowed to do that. From the White House comes
- 17:55Speaker 4: this statement. Is that the whole story? And here's the
- 18:01Speaker 4: hard part about journalism. Does it mean anything to you? Sure,
- 18:09Speaker 4: it's fun. We can make fun of Jake Tapper. We
- 18:19Speaker 4: can bring up the fact that he completely covered up
- 18:22Speaker 4: Joe Biden's mental distress and And then made millions off
- 18:28Speaker 4: of admitting it. And yet still has his job. You
- 18:36Speaker 4: have Terry Moran. Who admitted the same thing. At least
- 18:41Speaker 4: in Terry's case. As far as I can tell from
- 18:44Speaker 4: Jake Tapper's standpoint. Jake saw it and just didn't want
- 18:47Speaker 4: to say anything about it. Because he had access. Access
- 18:55Speaker 4: being important. Terry Moran, same thing. I've got a story here, boss.
- 19:05Speaker 2: Comes in.
- 19:07Speaker 4: Hey, you know what? Joe Biden can't sit through a meeting.
- 19:10Speaker 4: He's falling asleep. He doesn't know the answers. He doesn't
- 19:14Speaker 4: know what's going on. Doesn't know who's there. I think
- 19:17Speaker 4: the president lost his marbles and isn't really governing the country.
- 19:23Speaker 4: And I'd like to do a story right up on
- 19:25Speaker 4: who is actually making the decisions.
- 19:27Speaker 2: No, no, no. We're going to sit on that.
- 19:29Speaker 1: See.
- 19:30Speaker 4: That story means something to you, because if Jake Tapper
- 19:36Speaker 4: and Terry Moran's testimony, their whistleblowing, whether self-aggrandizing or not,
- 19:43Speaker 4: is to be taken at face value, that means the people,
- 19:46Speaker 4: the person, whoever it was making the decision. in our
- 19:51Speaker 4: royal presidency, in our elected kingdom, the person calling the
- 19:58Speaker 4: shots over two dozen heavily armed police departments and private courtrooms, a.k.a.
- 20:07Speaker 2: The U.S.
- 20:07Speaker 4: Presidential cabinet, Every one of those agencies going out, punishing farmers,
- 20:16Speaker 4: fining broadcasters, restricting business loans, targeting banks, targeting the sale
- 20:30Speaker 4: of perfectly legal consumer products like firearms. Those decisions were
- 20:36Speaker 4: being made by somebody you never heard of. Maybe you
- 20:40Speaker 4: heard of her if it was Jill Biden. But what
- 20:43Speaker 4: if it was Valerie Jarrett? Valerie Jarrett was Barack Obama's
- 20:46Speaker 4: chief advisor for eight years and for the three odd
- 20:52Speaker 4: years before it became Kamala Harris's buggy to drive. Did
- 20:58Speaker 4: you vote for Valerie Jarrett to make these decisions? No,
- 21:04Speaker 4: of course you didn't. See, that would have been journalism
- 21:08Speaker 4: to tell that story. not because you wanted Joe Biden
- 21:13Speaker 4: to fail as a president, but because the American people
- 21:18Speaker 4: had been lied to, or there was information that the
- 21:22Speaker 4: American people should know. It's just like if there is
- 21:28Speaker 4: a shooting incident at an area school. Is the shooting
- 21:33Speaker 4: incident important to you right at the moment?
- 21:35Speaker 8: No.
- 21:36Speaker 4: It's what is it going to do? You can't go
- 21:38Speaker 4: around the school. If you have kids in the school,
- 21:40Speaker 4: is that Those pieces of information are important. That's journalism.
- 21:48Speaker 4: Later on, you can get into the nuances of the
- 21:51Speaker 4: other parts of the news story, but the journalism has
- 21:54Speaker 4: to be what is the importance of the story to
- 21:58Speaker 4: the reader, viewer, or listener.
- 22:01Speaker 3: Let's see if something costs less, but people are happier
- 22:05Speaker 3: with it. That sounds like something to look into. And
- 22:07Speaker 3: that is MediShare. Maybe you've heard switching to MediShare to
- 22:10Speaker 3: pay for health care can save many families up to
- 22:13Speaker 3: 500 bucks a month. And that is huge. But it's
- 22:15Speaker 3: also true that people are way more satisfied after making
- 22:18Speaker 3: the switch to the member satisfaction rate for MediShare is
- 22:22Speaker 3: double that of the typical health insurance plan.
- 22:25Speaker 2: Double.
- 22:25Speaker 3: MediShare works too. It's been around for 30 years. Members
- 22:28Speaker 3: have shared more than $ 5 billion of each other's bills.
- 22:32Speaker 3: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
- 22:35Speaker 3: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
- 22:37Speaker 3: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
- 22:40Speaker 3: of your healthcare.
- 22:41Speaker 5: So if you're.
- 22:41Speaker 3: Self-employed or part of the gig economy, or you just

- 24:03Speaker 11: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 11: I'm Dr.
- 24:13Speaker 5: Mitch.
- 24:14Speaker 11: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 24:19Speaker 11: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 24:24Speaker 11: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 24:28Speaker 11: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 24:32Speaker 11: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 24:39Speaker 11: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
- 24:43Speaker 11: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
- 24:46Speaker 11: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 24:52Speaker 11: from radiation. TotalWellness.com where we help you to look good,

- 25:53Speaker 14: Uh oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Oh yeah?
- 25:57Speaker 5: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 25:59Speaker 15: And now a speech.
- 26:02Speaker 7: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 26:06Speaker 11: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 26:08Speaker 14: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
- 26:11Speaker 14: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
- 26:14Speaker 14: call me a ride.
- 26:15Speaker 5: Love that guy.
- 26:16Speaker 20: Me too.
- 26:17Speaker 17: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 26:19Speaker 17: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 26:23Speaker 9: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 26:26Speaker 9: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 26:30Speaker 9: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills too.
- 26:34Speaker 9: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 26:36Speaker 9: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
- 26:40Speaker 9: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 26:46Speaker 9: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 26:49Speaker 9: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 26:53Speaker 9: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 26:55Speaker 9: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 26:59Speaker 9: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 27:02Speaker 9: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 27:05Speaker 9: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 27:09Speaker 9: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

- 28:13Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 28:18Speaker 4: On this Ted's day, you know, a lot was made
- 28:20Speaker 4: of the U.N. Security Council meeting going on in New York.
- 28:25Speaker 4: But at the same time, it was climate week because,
- 28:27Speaker 4: you know, buttonholing the rent seeking or the people who
- 28:31Speaker 4: pay the rent seekers is what they do there. And
- 28:35Speaker 4: to keep a magnifying glass on the climate zealots who are,
- 28:39Speaker 4: to be fair, desperate. They're losing ground. I mean, it
- 28:44Speaker 4: looked like for a while they were the leader in
- 28:47Speaker 4: the clubhouse to be the next global pandemic like COVID-19
- 28:51Speaker 4: that would be used by the authoritarians to shut us
- 28:54Speaker 4: all down, keep us in our houses, make us afraid
- 28:57Speaker 4: of our neighbors for the very filth they spew out
- 29:00Speaker 4: into the air. And next thing you know, all along
- 29:03Speaker 4: comes AI and nobody wants to be afraid of climate
- 29:07Speaker 4: change anymore. They all want to be afraid of artificial intelligence.
- 29:10Speaker 4: And it was pointed out to me that they're using
- 29:14Speaker 4: the same rhetoric. It's like they've scratched out the word
- 29:17Speaker 4: climate change and wrote in artificial intelligence. But they're still
- 29:22Speaker 4: out there. And I mean out there. Mark Marano, founder
- 29:25Speaker 4: of the Climate Depot with CFAC, the Committee for a
- 29:28Speaker 4: Constructive Tomorrow, is on the Newsmakers Line with us live
- 29:32Speaker 4: from the Climate Zealots March on New York City. Good morning, Mark.
- 29:37Speaker 4: How are you doing?
- 29:39Speaker 8: Thank you, Joe.
- 29:40Speaker 5: Yes, I'm in New York City all week, actually.
- 29:43Speaker 1: And you're exactly right on a couple points there, is
- 29:48Speaker 1: that AI has changed the entire climate debate in two
- 29:54Speaker 1: important ways. The most important is that the climate billionaires
- 30:00Speaker 1: who used to fund climate change, the Jeff Bezos, the
- 30:03Speaker 1: Bill Gates.
- 30:05Speaker 5: The Michael Bloomberg, they've all moved on.
- 30:11Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg, they're now funding AI data centers. They're now
- 30:16Speaker 1: funding nuclear power plants. They're now funding natural gas plants
- 30:19Speaker 1: to power their AI.
- 30:21Speaker 5: And so what's happened is, The climate.
- 30:25Speaker 1: Activists have lost a lot of that billionaire-funded push, so
- 30:30Speaker 1: they're now turning AI, the climate actors are turning AI
- 30:33Speaker 1: into the next doomsday scenario, and that's exactly what we're seeing.
- 30:38Speaker 1: The same rhetoric they used about climate change is now
- 30:42Speaker 1: on AI. End times, apocalyptic, we're all going to die,
- 30:46Speaker 1: it's going to kill us. It's the same rhetoric, and
- 30:50Speaker 1: it's all designed to do exactly what COVID fears did.
- 30:53Speaker 1: force us to make decisions without using our rational side
- 30:57Speaker 1: because they want everything to be fear-driven.
- 30:59Speaker 5: And that's where we are right now.
- 31:01Speaker 4: So how did it go? I mean, are people confused
- 31:05Speaker 4: by it in Climate Week or are they fired up
- 31:07Speaker 4: about it? I mean, I know I disagree with them,
- 31:09Speaker 4: but are they dispirited because they feel like they missed
- 31:14Speaker 4: their window or are they fired up to maybe find
- 31:18Speaker 4: a new way to do some rent-seeking?
- 31:22Speaker 5: Well, I think they're going to be looking for new ways.
- 31:24Speaker 1: We were at the Jacob Javits Center last night walking around.
- 31:28Speaker 5: This was a lot of the green tech people.
- 31:30Speaker 1: We saw actually Extinction Rebellion people out on the sidewalk.
- 31:33Speaker 1: And I think what's happening is they're trying to deal
- 31:38Speaker 1: with this big, massive shift. When you have Larry Fink
- 31:41Speaker 1: of BlackRock say solar.
- 31:43Speaker 5: And wind can't power A.I., because you need.
- 31:47Speaker 1: Actual dispatchable power like fossil fuels, that sends a signal
- 31:52Speaker 1: to the entire financial system, to university systems, that the
- 31:57Speaker 1: climate movement is essentially kaput as we knew it.
- 32:01Speaker 5: And so now they're freaking out. And that's why they
- 32:04Speaker 5: shift to AI, because that's the new thing, the new boogeyman.
- 32:08Speaker 5: And so they're putting all their energy into it. We're
- 32:10Speaker 5: going over to.
- 32:12Speaker 1: I'm speaking tomorrow at NYU at a sustainable development event.
- 32:15Speaker 1: The organizer didn't realize my website's Climate Depot. It was
- 32:19Speaker 1: a neutral enough name that I got– we asked if
- 32:23Speaker 1: I could be on a panel, and they said yes,
- 32:24Speaker 1: and then later realized who I was and said they
- 32:27Speaker 1: were going to honor free speech.
- 32:28Speaker 5: So that's tomorrow morning.
- 32:30Speaker 1: We'll see how– and that's going to be about how–
- 32:33Speaker 1: in education, the panel title is how do we get–
- 32:37Speaker 1: train young climate activists from kindergarten, basically, to university.
- 32:42Speaker 5: And that's what they're talking about.
- 32:43Speaker 1: And I'm going to go up there and say, stop
- 32:46Speaker 1: brainwashing the kids.
- 32:47Speaker 4: Yeah, that's really, I mean, fear mongering. And I see it,
- 32:51Speaker 4: you know, the fear mongering that these doom scrollers are
- 32:55Speaker 4: all about, which is AI is going to replace us all.
- 32:59Speaker 4: It's the same thing. This is, well, the rising water
- 33:02Speaker 4: is going to drown us all. Now it's AI is
- 33:04Speaker 4: going to replace us all. I don't know which is preferable.
- 33:08Speaker 4: I think I nearly drowned once, and I don't want
- 33:11Speaker 4: to ever do that again. So I imagine being replaced
- 33:14Speaker 4: by AI would be less painful anyway than being drowned.
- 33:20Speaker 4: But why do they need this? Is it because all
- 33:25Speaker 4: of us react so well to our emotional banjos being
- 33:30Speaker 4: picked that that's how they can most easily get our
- 33:34Speaker 4: money out of our pockets, Mark?
- 33:37Speaker 5: This is a very simple concept, and it goes as
- 33:41Speaker 5: old as human civilization. The idea is if you want to.
- 33:47Speaker 1: Implement policies which you know are not going to be popular,
- 33:52Speaker 1: you have a very simple way around the policies, and
- 33:55Speaker 1: that is to instill fear, instill ridiculous deadlines, to get
- 34:00Speaker 1: the population so worked up in a frenzied state that
- 34:04Speaker 1: that they'll go along with policies they otherwise would never
- 34:07Speaker 1: even consider in rational moments. And if you go back
- 34:11Speaker 1: throughout history, I'm talking thousands of years, emergency decrees, declaring emergencies, panics,
- 34:18Speaker 1: have all been used to implement large-scale advancements of big
- 34:23Speaker 1: government policies. And specifically, you could even say things like
- 34:27Speaker 1: war on terror was overdone after 9-11 because it created
- 34:31Speaker 1: the surveillance state.
- 34:32Speaker 5: Look at COVID. You had death tolls that were going
- 34:35Speaker 5: to be exceeding the Spanish death toll, billions dead, the
- 34:38Speaker 5: black population.
- 34:39Speaker 1: Plague we have to lock down we have to have
- 34:41Speaker 1: vaccine mandates we have to cancel surgeries we have to
- 34:45Speaker 1: cancel weddings and funerals.
- 34:46Speaker 5: Stay at home orders this is what the science demands you're.
- 34:49Speaker 1: A grim All of that could not have been possible
- 34:53Speaker 1: without absolute panic and fear. And that's why climate activists
- 34:57Speaker 1: in 2020 were like, if we can lock down and
- 34:59Speaker 1: shut down the world for a virus, we should have
- 35:01Speaker 1: done this for climate years ago. So they were looking
- 35:03Speaker 1: at it in a jealous way, like, geez, I wish
- 35:06Speaker 1: we could have been promoting the virus instead.
- 35:08Speaker 5: And so that's what we're doing now.
- 35:09Speaker 1: That's exactly what they did in climate, exactly what they
- 35:12Speaker 1: did in COVID, exactly what they're doing now with AI.
- 35:15Speaker 5: And it works. By the way, it works.
- 35:17Speaker 1: This is how you get people in a panic state,
- 35:20Speaker 1: particularly young people. Now, I'm not rah-rah AI in the
- 35:25Speaker 1: sense that I do think we need local control. You
- 35:28Speaker 1: have to be careful about Pentagon military industrial complex. You
- 35:32Speaker 1: have to be careful about a surveillance state. There's all
- 35:34Speaker 1: kinds of controls and safeguards. I think they should be using.
- 35:37Speaker 5: Their own energy. They should be recycling water.
- 35:39Speaker 1: And those are things you can do rationally from a
- 35:42Speaker 1: government regulatory standpoint and and have local autonomy and control.
- 35:46Speaker 1: But the idea of just sheer panic, we're all going
- 35:49Speaker 1: to die, robots are going to take over, it's going
- 35:51Speaker 1: to be the end of humanity, that's not rational, and
- 35:53Speaker 1: that's designed to get us to go along with policies
- 35:56Speaker 1: we otherwise never would consider.
- 35:58Speaker 4: You know, what's interesting, too, is the data center developers
- 36:02Speaker 4: have told me this on this program. We don't want
- 36:05Speaker 4: to impact the community. We don't want to be blamed
- 36:08Speaker 4: for this. They're trying to fight back, and they have
- 36:11Speaker 4: nary any people in their corner They've become the bad
- 36:15Speaker 4: guy of the Republicans and the Democrats. Mark Morano is
- 36:19Speaker 4: on with us from the Climate Depot. Does that make
- 36:23Speaker 4: this replacement for climate change more dire? Because it seems
- 36:27Speaker 4: to have found a way to tap into Republicans and
- 36:30Speaker 4: Democrats to go after AI and data centers and that
- 36:34Speaker 4: kind of thing?
- 36:36Speaker 5: Oh, yes. Remember, Joe, I said this works. Oh, absolutely.
- 36:38Speaker 5: This is a very effective campaign against AI.
- 36:42Speaker 6: Now.
- 36:43Speaker 5: Here's where they have, I guess you'd say, tailwinds at
- 36:46Speaker 5: their back, the anti-AI. And here's why.
- 36:48Speaker 1: And these are very important reasons. Number one is just general,
- 36:53Speaker 1: not in my backyard. You could get the most pro-coal,
- 36:56Speaker 1: the most pro-fossil fuel, the most pro-solar or wind, no
- 37:00Speaker 1: matter what form of energy, no matter what ideological side.
- 37:03Speaker 1: And you start bringing it in your local community. You
- 37:05Speaker 1: bring it that it affects your backyard or your.
- 37:08Speaker 5: Line of sight. The famous one was the Kennedy family
- 37:11Speaker 5: and what's the– Hyena sport, yeah.
- 37:18Speaker 1: They didn't want offshore wind after voting and campaigning for
- 37:21Speaker 1: solar and wind, all that. So not in my backyard
- 37:25Speaker 1: is incredibly bipartisan. It's incredibly– whether you're high income, low income.
- 37:31Speaker 1: I've done stories on environmental racism and poor communities who
- 37:34Speaker 1: claim they're being targeted because they're poor.
- 37:36Speaker 5: You can do stories.
- 37:37Speaker 1: And so that's not a big issue. So they're riding
- 37:39Speaker 1: that wave. They're also riding the ugly architecture wave. I mean,
- 37:44Speaker 1: these buildings look, let's be honest, AI data center looks
- 37:47Speaker 1: like a Soviet era building from Joseph Stalin's time in
- 37:50Speaker 1: the Soviet Union. They are ugly, windowless cement buildings.
- 37:53Speaker 5: No one wants that. Then you have the power of demand.
- 37:56Speaker 1: Then you have the water, which all these are solvable,
- 37:58Speaker 1: but these are big issues.
- 38:01Speaker 14: In 2024, the American Heart Association celebrates 100 years of
- 38:05Speaker 14: life-saving service as the world's leading nonprofit organization focused on
- 38:09Speaker 14: heart and brain health. Heart disease still kills more people
- 38:13Speaker 14: in the United States each year than all types of
- 38:15Speaker 14: cancer combined, but more than half of Americans are unaware
- 38:18Speaker 14: of this fact, according to a recent Harris Poll survey
- 38:21Speaker 14: conducted for the American Heart Association. However, the majority of
- 38:25Speaker 14: heart disease is preventable. New research has improved the prevention, diagnosis,
- 38:30Speaker 14: and treatment of heart disease and its risk factors. Efforts
- 38:33Speaker 14: led by the American Heart Association have reduced deaths from
- 38:36Speaker 14: heart disease by half over the past century. and helped
- 38:39Speaker 14: people with heart disease live longer and more productive lives
- 38:42Speaker 14: while managing their condition and risk factors. To learn more

- 40:57Speaker 15: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 41:03Speaker 15: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
- 41:08Speaker 15: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 41:12Speaker 15: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 41:15Speaker 15: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 41:22Speaker 15: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 41:24Speaker 15: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:28Speaker 15: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:33Speaker 15: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
- 41:36Speaker 15: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

- 42:55Speaker 21: first date?
- 42:56Speaker 1: Sure.
- 42:57Speaker 13: We'll probably stay together.
- 42:58Speaker 5: Probably?
- 42:59Speaker 22: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
- 43:03Speaker 23: I can probably swim.
- 43:05Speaker 5: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
- 43:07Speaker 7: Okay, don't tell me what to do. Cannonball!

- 43:24Speaker 21: Can I get a mulligan?
- 43:26Speaker 5: Ready to go?
- 43:27Speaker 21: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 43:29Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
- 43:32Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:35Speaker 23: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 43:39Speaker 23: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
- 43:42Speaker 23: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

- 44:16Speaker 2: didn't cost anything in the first place. So let's say.
- 44:18Speaker 1: $ 1 million.
- 44:23Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the talk media network.
- 44:27Speaker 4: We're here on this Ted's D morning getting ready to
- 44:32Speaker 4: wrap up festivities, visiting with Mark Marano of the Climate
- 44:37Speaker 4: Depot and CFAC Committee for Constructive Tomorrow. One of the
- 44:44Speaker 4: things you were mentioning... You know, all these states that
- 44:48Speaker 4: are trying to move against data centers. Mark, here's a
- 44:53Speaker 4: here's a thought. And, you know, I want your thought
- 44:57Speaker 4: on this. You know, what what should the voters in
- 45:00Speaker 4: these states like Virginia that have big state elections be
- 45:03Speaker 4: looking for?
- 45:03Speaker 1: Well, I think they should be looking for rational plans,
- 45:09Speaker 1: thought and reasonable regulations again. making the AI data centers
- 45:14Speaker 1: use their own power, recycle their water. They have new
- 45:16Speaker 1: technology where they can do it. You want to put
- 45:18Speaker 1: in guideposts. You want to have architectural.
- 45:21Speaker 5: You want local control.
- 45:23Speaker 4: A lot of the things, that's what zoning boards generally do.
- 45:26Speaker 5: It's like, hey, we want to put in a.
- 45:28Speaker 4: Shopping center here. Well, we have a two-lane road. That's
- 45:31Speaker 4: not sufficient. There is kind of what you're talking about there.
- 45:37Speaker 4: So in the climate world, as we look at this,
- 45:46Speaker 4: is this jealousy of the new climate, the new agenda,
- 45:51Speaker 4: which is AI, going to drive AI or drive the
- 45:58Speaker 4: climate movement people, the Al Gores, to something more desperate,
- 46:02Speaker 4: do you think?
- 46:05Speaker 1: I think we're going to see the increasing trend to
- 46:08Speaker 1: AI doomsterism, for lack of a better word. And I
- 46:11Speaker 1: think they're going to just go all in on sort
- 46:14Speaker 1: of this anti-technology fear of the future.
- 46:18Speaker 5: And they're going to go full throttle on that in
- 46:20Speaker 5: the short term.
- 46:21Speaker 1: In the long term, they're hopeful that these midterms, which
- 46:24Speaker 1: it looks likely there's going to be big Democrat gains
- 46:27Speaker 1: to the extent, it's always unclear.
- 46:29Speaker 5: But if there's a big sort of repudiation or big gain.
- 46:33Speaker 1: By Democrats, then they're going to say this validates our
- 46:36Speaker 1: AI opposition and this validates the regeneration.
- 46:39Speaker 5: Of the climate movement.
- 46:40Speaker 1: And so you have now in Congress a whole DSA
- 46:44Speaker 1: grand of Democrats.
- 46:45Speaker 5: And remember, this is not your father's Democrat Socialist America. No, no, no, no, no.
- 46:50Speaker 1: The AOC version looks mild by comparison. They actually explicitly
- 46:54Speaker 1: banned Soviet-style Marxists and communists from entering and participating until 2025.
- 47:00Speaker 1: Now they've welcomed them in.
- 47:02Speaker 5: So this is a much more radical brand. they are
- 47:06Speaker 5: going to be.
- 47:08Speaker 1: Pushing the Green New Deal 2.0, and they're going to
- 47:10Speaker 1: claim they have a mandate now from the midterms. And
- 47:13Speaker 1: AOC has all but announced she's running for president. And
- 47:16Speaker 1: by the way, given our world today and actually the
- 47:19Speaker 1: path that Donald Trump has laid for non-traditional candidates, I
- 47:22Speaker 1: do not doubt for one second that AOC could get
- 47:25Speaker 1: the nomination and be elected president in 2028.
- 47:28Speaker 5: I really don't.
- 47:30Speaker 1: And I think people who dismiss her are wrong. I
- 47:32Speaker 1: think That is where this could be headed. They're looking
- 47:36Speaker 1: for a total.
- 47:38Speaker 5: Midterm repudiation.
- 47:40Speaker 8: Yes. Yeah.
- 47:41Speaker 1: And I think they're just looking for a resurrection. And
- 47:44Speaker 1: they're looking at AI as an opportunity to ride that.
- 47:47Speaker 1: They think they've tapped into this not-in-my-backyard sentiment.
- 47:50Speaker 5: And they want to broaden that out. So we're going to.
- 47:52Speaker 1: Turn this into anti-AI, anti-climate agenda.
- 47:56Speaker 8: And I think.
- 47:58Speaker 5: We will see where this goes right now. And this
- 48:00Speaker 5: is a, it's a very, again, it's a time of change.
- 48:02Speaker 5: I can't even really predict. I've never, I've been watching
- 48:05Speaker 5: this for 25 years.
- 48:05Speaker 4: I think that makes a lot of sense though, is,
- 48:08Speaker 4: is okay. We've been abandoned by all the people who
- 48:10Speaker 4: give us money for the AI movement. Let's go, let's
- 48:15Speaker 4: turn on them and let's make them the, like you said,
- 48:17Speaker 4: you were telling me in the break, Al Gore going
- 48:20Speaker 4: after Bill Gates, you know, there's a video you'd love
- 48:23Speaker 4: to see. But, but in this case, what scares me,
- 48:27Speaker 4: is you have the security Republicans, the privacy Republicans, the
- 48:32Speaker 4: Rand Pauls, myself included. I've said in controversy, I want
- 48:38Speaker 4: AI data centers in the United States so that they
- 48:42Speaker 4: are living in the world of the Fourth Amendment and
- 48:44Speaker 4: the Third Amendment. I don't want them in China. Even
- 48:48Speaker 4: if they don't behave well here in the United States,
- 48:50Speaker 4: I have a courtroom I can bring them into.
- 48:52Speaker 5: In China- Excellent point.
- 48:54Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
- 48:55Speaker 4: But you have security Republicans- who will pick up on
- 48:59Speaker 4: the banner of, oh, surveillance state, and join in with
- 49:03Speaker 4: people like AOC and create this Baptist and bootleggers coalition. Mark,
- 49:09Speaker 4: should that scare us as well?
- 49:12Speaker 1: Well, it's always good to have the Thomas Massys, the
- 49:15Speaker 1: Rand Pauls, the Ron Pauls worrying about surveillance state and
- 49:19Speaker 1: bringing those issues up. Yeah, I I don't think that's
- 49:21Speaker 1: worrisome because they're not. I think that's always an important point.
- 49:24Speaker 5: And your point is incredibly important.
- 49:27Speaker 1: As much as we distrust– no, by the way, the
- 49:30Speaker 1: big thing I didn't mention is there is a genuine distrust,
- 49:32Speaker 1: a bigger distrust probably among conservatives and Republicans.
- 49:36Speaker 5: Of big tech than among Democrats, which is also driving
- 49:39Speaker 5: Republican opposition to this. But the point you make is
- 49:42Speaker 5: very important.
- 49:44Speaker 1: Even if your number one issue is worried about surveillance
- 49:47Speaker 1: and monitoring and a sort of big brother state, you
- 49:51Speaker 1: want data centers in the U.S. more than the EU
- 49:54Speaker 1: or more obviously than China or anywhere else because we
- 49:56Speaker 1: have the best ability to control, regulate, and roll back
- 50:00Speaker 1: if they get out of control. And that is a
- 50:02Speaker 1: very solid argument to make about why the U.S. should
- 50:06Speaker 1: continue to be the leader in AI development.
- 50:08Speaker 4: Well, I hope you enjoyed your week in New York.
- 50:10Speaker 4: It certainly has been a different climate week in New
- 50:13Speaker 4: York than you've covered before, Mark Marano at CBAT.
- 50:16Speaker 5: It is. It's confusing me. I'm confused. I'm still trying
- 50:19Speaker 5: to figure out what they're doing.
- 50:21Speaker 4: The equilibrium is out there for you and always great
- 50:25Speaker 4: to catch up with you as well. What else are
- 50:28Speaker 4: you working on? Can we get Climate Hustle 3 out
- 50:32Speaker 4: of this morass?
- 50:33Speaker 20: Yes.
- 50:36Speaker 5: I don't know. Yeah, yeah.
- 50:39Speaker 1: Climate Hustle 3, the AI heretic or something like that.
- 50:44Speaker 1: I'm getting ready for a trip to Turkey for the
- 50:47Speaker 1: next UN climate summit, which will be pivotal because it'll
- 50:50Speaker 1: be after the midterms and we'll.
- 50:51Speaker 5: See how the UN reacts. That'll be coming up in
- 50:54Speaker 5: about a month.
- 50:55Speaker 4: You reminded me of something. So now President Trump has
- 50:58Speaker 4: signed this deal about Greenland, right? You saw that. And
- 51:01Speaker 4: all the same folks who claim that Kyoto is the
- 51:05Speaker 4: law of the globe are insisting that the Senate needs
- 51:09Speaker 4: to sign off on this deal. I'm like, hold on
- 51:11Speaker 4: a second here. You bow to Kyoto, which the Senate
- 51:15Speaker 4: never even voted on. But now you're insisting that the
- 51:20Speaker 4: Senate have final approval over Greenland. I love that kind
- 51:25Speaker 4: of hypocrisy. Or as I like to say, I love
- 51:28Speaker 4: the smell of face palm in the morning. I mean,
- 51:31Speaker 4: you can't make this stuff up, can you, Mark?
- 51:34Speaker 5: No.
- 51:34Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 51:34Speaker 5: It's like when it's convenient, of course, we don't need
- 51:37Speaker 5: no stinking ratification. And now it's like we know this
- 51:40Speaker 5: is not.
- 51:40Speaker 1: This is not valid unless it's ratification. I wish they
- 51:43Speaker 1: had said that back in 2015 with the U.N.
- 51:46Speaker 5: Paris pact.
- 51:46Speaker 1: But by the way, that's one big thing Trump is
- 51:49Speaker 1: doing incredibly well is getting us out of this U.N.
- 51:53Speaker 1: underlying 1992 climate treaty. He's getting us out of the
- 51:57Speaker 1: endangerment finding with the EPA. So the next president, if
- 52:00Speaker 1: it is Gavin Newsom or AOC, is going to have
- 52:02Speaker 1: a hard time reinstating all this.
- 52:04Speaker 4: God bless you, sir. Thank you for the hopeful news
- 52:06Speaker 4: at the end there. Mark Morano is cfact.org. And you
- 52:10Speaker 4: have a great morning, sir.
- 52:12Speaker 5: All right. Thanks a lot. Thanks, sir.
- 52:14Speaker 2: Appreciate it.
- 52:14Speaker 4: Coming to us from Climate Week in New York City
- 52:19Speaker 4: this morning. I appreciate you guys joining in with us
- 52:22Speaker 4: as well at 434-882-4217. We will get this stuff up online.
- 52:28Speaker 4: I know we're behind a little bit there, but we
- 52:31Speaker 4: are working on it behind the scenes to– get everything
- 52:34Speaker 4: caught up in the podcast channels there. We ran into
- 52:37Speaker 4: a problem with monetization and all.
- 52:46Speaker 15: That.
- 52:47Speaker 4: So tomorrow, so long, and thanks for all the fish.
- 52:51Speaker 14: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
- 52:53Speaker 14: compression of spinal nerves, according to Dr. Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
- 52:57Speaker 14: California-based chiropractor with more than 30 years of experience. This
- 53:01Speaker 14: compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury, or
- 53:05Speaker 14: simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
- 53:09Speaker 14: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
- 53:12Speaker 14: the neck and back, Dr. Fisher explains. His inventions, the
- 53:16Speaker 14: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device,
- 53:20Speaker 14: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
- 53:24Speaker 14: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
- 53:27Speaker 14: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
- 53:30Speaker 14: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
- 53:33Speaker 14: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
- 53:36Speaker 14: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home.
- 53:38Speaker 2: And Dr.
- 53:39Speaker 14: Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos and detailed instructions.
