• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I'm your king.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I didn't vote for you.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: You don't vote for kings.
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:20
  Speaker 5: Joe works at.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: A steel mill.
• 0:22
  Speaker 6: He's damn near every day.
• 0:25
  Speaker 7: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:27
  Speaker 6: Drops a kid to school and on the way. Joe
• 0:30
  Speaker 6: has everything he dreamed of. All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:34
  Speaker 8: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:38
  Speaker 9: He only aims to please you.
• 0:43
  Speaker 10: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:45
  Speaker 10: this morning. Satirized for your protection, the puffed up ones
• 0:52
  Speaker 10: are getting the needle that they so puffedly deserve in
• 0:56
  Speaker 10: a program where we tell you what went on last night.
• 0:59
  Speaker 10: I will give you my analysis for sure. And as
• 1:02
  Speaker 10: many of the case, because I try to be at
• 1:04
  Speaker 10: the avant-garde of some of these things, They may not
• 1:09
  Speaker 10: be something you've heard before, so you can call and
• 1:11
  Speaker 10: knock it around with me, or if there's something else
• 1:15
  Speaker 10: that's happening to you that's impacting your world, use the
• 1:18
  Speaker 10: phone number 434-882-4217. Text messages as well to that number.
• 1:25
  Speaker 10: The better we use technology, the more likely it is
• 1:28
  Speaker 10: we can stave off the all-too-predictable wash, rinse, repeat of
• 1:36
  Speaker 10: liberty to apathy to tyranny that has unfortunately gripped humankind
• 1:43
  Speaker 10: for what, 5,000 years, 6,000 years? As long as man
• 1:52
  Speaker 10: has been out there, look at the Ten Commandments since
• 1:54
  Speaker 10: we're visiting with Father Frank. Look at the Ten Commandments.
• 2:00
  Speaker 10: Those things telling them not to lie, cheat, steal, were
• 2:07
  Speaker 10: written because people were lying, cheating, and stealing. They didn't
• 2:12
  Speaker 10: say someday there's going to be a race of people,
• 2:15
  Speaker 10: a community in a place called the United States that
• 2:17
  Speaker 10: can't help themselves from lying and cheating and stealing. No, no,
• 2:22
  Speaker 10: that's not it at all. The Israelites were guilty of
• 2:28
  Speaker 10: a lot of this. So were the Pharaohs. So God said,
• 2:33
  Speaker 10: these are the things you will not do. Even in
• 2:37
  Speaker 10: the face of people that you don't like. Juxtapose that with, say,
• 2:41
  Speaker 10: ideologies that say it's okay to lie to somebody if
• 2:45
  Speaker 10: they're in a different church than you. I mean, it's
• 2:50
  Speaker 10: one thing to battle evil. It is another whole one
• 2:54
  Speaker 10: to decide that anyone who doesn't agree with you is
• 2:57
  Speaker 10: that evil. So be careful of that. But that's how
• 3:02
  Speaker 10: we roll. or bagel, depending on what you're looking for
• 3:06
  Speaker 10: for breakfast, at 434-882-4217. Emails JT in the morning radio
• 3:13
  Speaker 10: at gmail.com. In our first things this morning, explosive expose
• 3:20
  Speaker 10: that Mary Patola, Democrat running for Alaska Senate, colluded with
• 3:27
  Speaker 10: the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and lawyers affiliated with with
• 3:32
  Speaker 10: the Democrat Party and Democrat operatives in Alaska who went
• 3:38
  Speaker 10: about a recruiting drive to find somebody named Dan Sullivan
• 3:43
  Speaker 10: to run in the race. President Trump said through a spokesperson,
• 3:52
  Speaker 10: Mary Patola and her campaign have spent months gaslighting Alaskans,
• 3:57
  Speaker 10: denying a scheme that they were running all along. Flavio
• 4:03
  Speaker 10: Bolsonaro is in the United States and has declared himself
• 4:07
  Speaker 10: the leader in exile of Brazil. Says he will lead
• 4:11
  Speaker 10: the opposition until it is safe for him and his
• 4:14
  Speaker 10: family to return to Brazil. I want to tell not
• 4:20
  Speaker 10: only my 60 million voters, but the whole Brazilian population,
• 4:25
  Speaker 10: I am their leader. Arab political parties... could have as
• 4:33
  Speaker 10: many as 19 seats in the Israeli Knesset. A fun
• 4:37
  Speaker 10: fact that I think is just coming out to some
• 4:39
  Speaker 10: people's attention now, that there are more elected Arab, democratically
• 4:45
  Speaker 10: elected Arab representatives in government in Israel than a lot
• 4:48
  Speaker 10: of the Arab nations in the Middle East. But their
• 4:52
  Speaker 10: 19 seats could cause a problem for coalition building as
• 4:56
  Speaker 10: it appears that Netanyahu's Likud party has won 53 seats
• 5:03
  Speaker 10: And the opposition party has 149, neither of which getting
• 5:08
  Speaker 10: to the 61 it takes to take leadership in the Knesset.
• 5:13
  Speaker 10: Russia is having conversations with the Trump administration for sanction relief.
• 5:22
  Speaker 10: This in the wake of the humanitarian pause in fighting
• 5:25
  Speaker 10: brokered by Melania Trump. Yuri Ushakov, President Vladimir Putin's top
• 5:31
  Speaker 10: foreign policy advisor, said to TASS, Russia's state news agency.
• 5:36
  Speaker 10: Such a conversation is taking place, and it's been going
• 5:40
  Speaker 10: on for some time. A political strategist who helped elect
• 5:45
  Speaker 10: Zorhan Mamdani to New York mayor said Democratic socialists want
• 5:49
  Speaker 10: to take over the Democratic Party and ultimately elect a
• 5:53
  Speaker 10: socialist president. I would insert the phrase another socialist president.

  Speaker 15: You were strolling along in goodwill. When just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 15: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them, nestled
• 9:08
  Speaker 15: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes!
• 9:15
  Speaker 11: Yes!
• 9:16
  Speaker 15: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 9:20
  Speaker 15: favorite form of ear candy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, my.
• 9:24
  Speaker 15: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 9: Shh!
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Do you smell that?
• 9:30
  Speaker 16: Shh!
• 9:32
  Speaker 15: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: And with every item.

  Speaker 19: Goodwill.
• 9:54
  Speaker 15: Bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 20: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 20: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 20: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 20: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 20: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 20: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:24
  Speaker 20: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 20: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 20: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 20: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Eat better. Get moving.

  Speaker 6: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 17: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: We'll probably stay together.

  Speaker 17: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 24: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I can probably swim.
• 12:04
  Speaker 12: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 17: Cannonball!
• 12:11
  Speaker 11: Cramp!
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: I have a cramp.

  Speaker 3: Probably.
• 12:23
  Speaker 25: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 24: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 24: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 24: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

  Speaker 4: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 13:25
  Speaker 10: On this Thursday morning, thank you for letting us be
• 13:28
  Speaker 10: of service to you as we break down the news
• 13:33
  Speaker 10: of the day and get where you need to go.
• 13:35
  Speaker 10: Sometimes it's beyond, you know, elections and things like that.
• 13:40
  Speaker 10: First thing today, and we talk about our Caring Beyond
• 13:45
  Speaker 10: Cancer campaign. segments, and there are so many different types,
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: and it's something that I've made a point of for
• 13:52
  Speaker 10: probably 30 years, that cancer isn't one thing. It may
• 13:57
  Speaker 10: be a common manifestation, but each one is different. Each
• 14:01
  Speaker 10: one does different things, and each one begins in different ways,
• 14:04
  Speaker 10: and we're going to talk a little bit about bladder
• 14:07
  Speaker 10: cancer right now with Ray and Joanne Page, who are
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: here to talk a little bit about their journey into
• 14:18
  Speaker 10: fighting bladder cancer. Ray, Joanne, how are you this morning?
• 14:22
  Speaker 10: Take us into first how you come to this journey
• 14:26
  Speaker 10: regarding bladder cancer.
• 14:31
  Speaker 26: Well, I had frequent urination, and Joanne being a nurse
• 14:36
  Speaker 26: kept harping on me to go see my urologist. So,
• 14:40
  Speaker 26: of course, I made the appointment. I went to my
• 14:42
  Speaker 26: urologist thinking it was... something to do with my prostate.
• 14:46
  Speaker 26: And after the first exam, he scheduled a cystoscope to
• 14:51
  Speaker 26: go in and look in my bladder and see what
• 14:53
  Speaker 26: else was going on and found that I had two tumors.
• 14:58
  Speaker 26: One was very small on the top of my bladder
• 15:01
  Speaker 26: and the other one near my prostate was very large,
• 15:04
  Speaker 26: causing the volume of urine I could hold was very
• 15:09
  Speaker 26: small because of the fact that these tumors were in there.
• 15:12
  Speaker 26: And so after he told me that I had bladder cancer,
• 15:16
  Speaker 26: then I started a treatment on BCG, which is the
• 15:21
  Speaker 26: gold standard for treating bladder cancer. And it's inserted in
• 15:26
  Speaker 26: through a catheter into your bladder. It stays in your
• 15:29
  Speaker 26: bladder for a couple hours, and then you urinate it out,
• 15:32
  Speaker 26: and then you do it again for six weeks straight.
• 15:36
  Speaker 26: Then after that, they do another scope. Every single time
• 15:39
  Speaker 26: I had the BCG treatment, the scope showed new evidence
• 15:44
  Speaker 26: of tumors. So they had to be removed through a TURP.
• 15:47
  Speaker 26: And then once they're removed, you start the treatment over again.
• 15:52
  Speaker 26: And I did that unsuccessfully for a number of months.
• 15:56
  Speaker 26: And towards the end of my treatment with BCG wasn't
• 16:02
  Speaker 26: working and I became unresponsive, they found five tumors. So
• 16:06
  Speaker 26: they decided it would be best to do a partial
• 16:09
  Speaker 26: cystectomy and they went in and sliced off a portion
• 16:15
  Speaker 26: of my bladder to take all five tumors out. After
• 16:19
  Speaker 26: they did that, I went to another round of BCG
• 16:22
  Speaker 26: and found out that I had two lesions that were cancerous,
• 16:26
  Speaker 26: and then we talked about bladder removal. And after we
• 16:30
  Speaker 26: started the discussion of bladder removal, it was brought to
• 16:36
  Speaker 26: my attention that there was a new program drug at
• 16:40
  Speaker 26: that time, which was Inlexo. And this was in November
• 16:43
  Speaker 26: of 25. And I started on Inlexo in January of 26.
• 16:50
  Speaker 26: And the beauty of Inlexo is that, and this is
• 16:53
  Speaker 26: how Joanne and I made this decision, was that we
• 16:58
  Speaker 26: looked into it. We were very skeptical of everything because
• 17:03
  Speaker 26: nothing had worked for me. And so at that point,
• 17:06
  Speaker 26: we went on the web and looked into Nlexo. And
• 17:11
  Speaker 26: through discussions with my care team, it was determined that
• 17:15
  Speaker 26: when they do Nlexo, they put the Nlexo in through
• 17:17
  Speaker 26: a catheter, and it forms a prectal inside of your bladder,
• 17:22
  Speaker 26: and it releases medicine over a three-week period. And after
• 17:27
  Speaker 26: that three-week period, they go back in with the scope,
• 17:30
  Speaker 26: to take it back out. Well, when they go in
• 17:32
  Speaker 26: with the scope, they can see all around your bladder,
• 17:35
  Speaker 26: just see if there's any new tumors forming. And so
• 17:38
  Speaker 26: we decided that that would be the correct way to
• 17:40
  Speaker 26: vote for us because my cancer was so highly reoccurring.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 17:44
  Speaker 26: And so when we had it, it made perfect sense
• 17:48
  Speaker 26: that every three weeks we would know if something was happening.
• 17:52
  Speaker 10: Right. Talk about the, the, the, I don't want to
• 17:58
  Speaker 10: call it, you know, your mental state, but I think,
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: you know, cancer care requires positive thinking as much as anything.
• 18:09
  Speaker 10: Did at least this help you begin a positive attitude
• 18:14
  Speaker 10: towards the possibility of beating this?
• 18:19
  Speaker 26: Well, I'm going to tell you, in the beginning, I
• 18:22
  Speaker 26: was very scared. I.
• 18:26
  Speaker 26: I didn't know anybody who ever had bladder cancer. I
• 18:29
  Speaker 26: always never talked about men just don't talk about any weight. Um,
• 18:34
  Speaker 26: it's just one of those things. So, I mean, it
• 18:36
  Speaker 26: was a lot of, uh, looking into things. It was
• 18:39
  Speaker 26: a lot of fright. It was a lot of, um, um,
• 18:42
  Speaker 26: definitely depression kicks in. I'm, you know, you're like, Oh
• 18:45
  Speaker 26: my God, you know, what are you going to do
• 18:46
  Speaker 26: with this? And what, you know, how are you going
• 18:48
  Speaker 26: to treat this? Am I going to ever get better?
• 18:51
  Speaker 26: And that was one of the biggest issues with, um,
• 18:54
  Speaker 26: you know, having bladder cancer and dealing with it. But
• 18:56
  Speaker 26: then when I got in Lexo, we could kind of
• 18:59
  Speaker 26: see that there was a new light because of the
• 19:02
  Speaker 26: fact that I wasn't getting any new tumors.
• 19:08
  Speaker 10: So how does, Joanne, how does this work? You know,
• 19:12
  Speaker 10: how does it make it different from traditional treatments that
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: Ray had been going through?
• 19:20
  Speaker 16: Yeah, so the standard of care, if you will, for
• 19:23
  Speaker 16: bladder cancer hasn't been changed really for a very, very
• 19:27
  Speaker 16: long time. And BCG, which is a form of tuberculin
• 19:33
  Speaker 16: to help your body, they put it in your bladder
• 19:37
  Speaker 16: and your body tries to fight the cancer.
• 19:41
  Speaker 28: So, you know, having the opportunity to look at Naloxone,
• 19:50
  Speaker 28: a drug that I was familiar with.
• 19:52
  Speaker 16: I am a nurse. The concept was delivering that medication
• 19:58
  Speaker 16: directly to the bladder, which I liked.
• 20:03
  Speaker 28: It made sense.
• 20:04
  Speaker 16: To Ray and I. Um, and when we looked at
• 20:08
  Speaker 16: the others and we compared it to, and lack so
• 20:12
  Speaker 16: for us, it was, um, it.
• 20:16
  Speaker 28: Was an obvious choice for us to do that one.
• 20:20
  Speaker 10: Well, certainly it seemed like the other stuff wasn't, uh,
• 20:23
  Speaker 10: you know, it would work for a second and it
• 20:25
  Speaker 10: actually seemed like it was making it more prevalent, uh,
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: not less. Is that one of the things Joanne about
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: cancer that I've noticed is that it, it, evolves even
• 20:37
  Speaker 10: beyond you know what we're able to do and even
• 20:40
  Speaker 10: beyond each individual case of it that as we battle
• 20:46
  Speaker 10: it it grows you know the ones that survive are
• 20:50
  Speaker 10: the ones that figure out almost evolutionarily okay well this
• 20:54
  Speaker 10: is what they're doing to kill us so let's figure
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: out a way to avoid that and we need to
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: constantly be updating our our tactics, I guess, or our
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: weaponry against cancer?
• 21:10
  Speaker 29: Yeah, it was, it's been actually, to me personally, I
• 21:15
  Speaker 29: think this is an ingenious way of delivering, um, the treatment, um,
• 21:22
  Speaker 29: because it is.
• 21:24
  Speaker 28: Slowly released over, uh, three weeks. Um, uh, And then
• 21:29
  Speaker 28: you get a week off and then you do it
• 21:31
  Speaker 28: another for three weeks.
• 21:32
  Speaker 16: You do that eight times. Wow.
• 21:36
  Speaker 28: That's a set of eyes looking inside your bladder and
• 21:40
  Speaker 28: saying no tumor.
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that is amazing what we're able to do now,
• 21:45

  Speaker 4: Talk Media Network.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Thank you for joining us.
• 28:22
  Speaker 10: Time to hit the hole and run for daylight. Or
• 28:27
  Speaker 10: hit the daylight and run for a hole.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
• 28:29
  Speaker 10: Something like that. It's the sports phrases. We leave to
• 28:33
  Speaker 10: our sports director, Mac McDonald. Do you have a special class?
• 28:38
  Speaker 16: This is.
• 28:42
  Speaker 10: This is, do you have a special clash class in
• 28:45
  Speaker 10: sports cliches, you know, hit the hole, you know, look
• 28:49
  Speaker 10: for the open man. You know, I know we, I.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Have a day, I have a day where I talk
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: or 10 minutes of a class where I say, if
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: you're going to use a cliche, don't screw it up.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Like I hear a lot of, I hear a lot
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: of analysts saying, And even some play-by-play guys that say, hey,
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: we can't put the horse in front of the cart.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: That's just water under the boat. That's just water under
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: the boat. Don't put all your eggs in one bucket.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: So when I hear these cliches that are just ripped
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: to shreds, I cringe, and I tell them, if you're
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: going to use one, use it subtly like, okay, you
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: know it's old, and treat it that. way, and get
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: it right. When I first met, real quick story, and
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: we'll get into Pat Murphy. Real quick story. My wife
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: and I began to date. She's from Belgium, was learning English.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: She was taking an English class so she could be
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: a nurse in Florida.
• 29:54
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Because she had to take the TOEFL, you know, English
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: second language and all this stuff. So anyway, I found
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: out early that people who live in Belgium who speak
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: French really don't. And this probably goes for all of Europe.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: They don't understand cliches. So one of the very first
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: times when I said to my wife, babe, don't worry
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: about it. It's just water under the bridge. And she goes,
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: what bridge? You know, they don't speak in cliches like
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: we do. I mean, you know, America language is just
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: full of, you know, cliches.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: With all that being said.
• 30:30
  Speaker 10: It's like your boss there and his co-conspiratorial video he
• 30:36
  Speaker 10: did for Funny or Die with Hank Azaria, you know,
• 30:40
  Speaker 10: movie cliches and all that other stuff to spice up.
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: But then you have games like last night in the
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: Major League Baseball World Series where that don't need spicing
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: up too much at all.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: You might hear, if you listened, I don't know, to
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: 50 baseball games over the summer, start to finish on,
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: let's just say, radio or TV, either one. If you listen,
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: you might hear the phrase, a can of corn twice.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: So the tools of ignorance. Now, I have a quiz
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: where students don't understand what the golden sombrero is. You know,
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: they don't understand, you know, little baseball intricacies. But anyway,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: what I do understand is that Pat Murphy is one
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: special guy. So from fatherhood and backyard sports to training
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: to be a boxer when he grew up in Syracuse,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: he thinks that his grit and work ethic came from
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: working in a gym as a major influence. He loves
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Bruce Springsteen. He loves rock and roll. Um, and he,
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: you know, his passion for coaching extends far past the
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: major leagues. He works with the young guys, like a
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: guy like Cooper Pratt, 22 years old. He's probably still
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: celebrating with a box.
• 31:56
  Speaker 10: Every box score Pratt had like two hits and two RBIs.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: He had six straight. Yeah, he had six straight, you know,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: during and that hadn't been done since 2013. Anyway, with
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: all that being said, when I'm going through all this
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: stuff today, I said, you know, I don't you know,
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: I don't like to do just postgame and what a
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: great team and what a great performance and we love
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: our fans, you know, okay, I get that. What I
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: try to go. So what did I discover? somebody else
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: who believes in the process you're gonna love now he's
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: got a different spin on it but pat murphy it's
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: the same same thing here's skipper pat murphy milwaukee brewers
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: like a lot of.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: Things we say right i just say where is a
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: waste of time my kids say in the prayer at
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: night help me to remember that where is a waste
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: of time because that's thinking about the future You know
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: what I mean?
• 32:46
  Speaker 9: You got to stay in the now.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Think about the now.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: And if you get yourself caught up in the future,
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: it can go either way.
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: And you could rack your brain doing things. You just
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: kind of prepare it for today and be aware of
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: what it means for tomorrow.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: So can you hear him in the clubhouse saying, guys,
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: all right, we got beat. We didn't sweep. All right.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Don't worry about the future. Worry about today. You know,
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: you got it. And I tell my I tell our
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: students this all the time. You know, I don't think
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: they get it. I ask them day one. What do
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: you want to be? Where do you want to be?
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: If I could wave a magic wand, where do you
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: want to be? And they say, oh, I want to be. Yeah,
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: I want to be at ESPN. I want to work
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: for the Seattle Seahawks or whatever it might be. And
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: I tell them, OK, great goal is as Nick Saban says.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Great goal. That's an outcome, but you'd better worry about
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: getting better today. You know, I tried to, I don't
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: think it sinks in. I think we all spend, but
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: we all, we all do it. We all think about it.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: I try to tell my wife all the time. She goes,
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: you know, I don't know where we're going on vacation
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: next summer, next summer, next summer. I'm trying to get
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: through Thursday.
• 33:51
  Speaker 14: Tell me about next summer, but you know, it's interesting that,
• 33:56
  Speaker 14: you know, Murph has to, remind baseball players that because
• 34:00
  Speaker 14: that is you know when you talk about Saban in
• 34:03
  Speaker 14: the process and all of that um I get having
• 34:06
  Speaker 14: to tell a football player that baseball is a game
• 34:09
  Speaker 14: that's built on that yeah okay you know you flub the.
• 34:12
  Speaker 10: Fly ball you're gonna come out you're you're Bryce Harper
• 34:15
  Speaker 10: and you hit a three run home run um yeah.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so true, Joe. And so many times in
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: our regular business lives, not to get on a whole
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: big thing here, is that we don't do that enough.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: You know, we'll just be crazy about a mistake that
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: we made for, you know, and especially golf is the
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: same way. You hear the guys in the boring, boring
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: golf interviews that we always hear because, oh, I... I
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: took it one shot at a time and my breathing
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: was pretty good and I followed my process and I
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: won the tournament. You know, it's, it is, it's, it's really,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: it's talk about cliches. I know it's a cliche one
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: day at a time, one shot at a time, one,
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: you know, but if you, if you worry about the
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: double bogey on four, then you, you know, you screwed up.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Last night. And with all that being said, Ernie Johnson,
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: who has been an institution for close to 40 years,
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: in broadcasting. He does the Inside the NBA with Shaq
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: and Charles and Kenny Smith.
• 35:19
  Speaker 10: He used to do a lot of radio, too, in
• 35:21
  Speaker 10: the NCAA tournament.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Just an institution. In fact, he's got a production company
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: now called 32 Bowties, which is really because he's one
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: of the few bowtie guys. He had heart bypass surgery
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: 14 months ago. Well, anyway, he's a Hall of Famer,
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: and he will retire as host of Inside the NBA.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: He's 70 years old, and yesterday he posted a social
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: media video and said that he would continue to work,
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: including coverage of the NCAA tournament and some stuff with CBS.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: But his goodbye, I don't have the whole thing. I
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: cut it down a little bit. You can find the video.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: I think he speaks for a couple of minutes. But anyway,
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: Ernie Johnson saying goodbye, but hey, gone but not forgotten.
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: Going through that has made me treasure even more. Every
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: second with my amazing wife of 44 years, Cheryl Ann,
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: and being Poppy to our five grandchildren. Just to be clear,
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: I'm not retiring. I'm just cutting back. This is by
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: no means the end. It's just the turning of the page.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: I just want to say thanks for your loyalty, your love,
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: your support, and on this day, for your understanding.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: He was talking about when, he goes, when prep started
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: to bother me and to be a chore, it used
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: to never be a chore, and I get it. But
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: with the hard thing, and when you get to that point,
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: and I think that's why... You know, every day I
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: walk in, I speak into my wife and being a nurse,
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: wash your hands. All right, let's say, you know, what's
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: your blood pressure? I fit, you know, we're going to
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: the gym today. You know, it's like this driving, this
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: little voice in my ear goes, oh, no, no, no, no, no.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: You bought Breyers ice cream. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: You're going to eat organic pears today. You know, so
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: we all have to, we all have to kind of
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: watch it, but it's kind of neat that we have
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: people like Pat Murphy who, And Ernie Johnson, especially in
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: the sports world, who can wax poetically. And, you know,
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: your Nick Saban. And, again, repeating ourselves, if you have
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: not seen or taken a deep dive into this Saban
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: six-part series, it is a wonderful, wonderful documentary. It's just, yeah,
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: it's pretty good stuff. So you need to, you know,
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: take a watch. It's that simple.
• 37:33
  Speaker 10: But also a reminder, and a reminder to the bosses
• 37:36
  Speaker 10: out there, embrace pat murphy because your your employees are
• 37:41
  Speaker 10: going to have mistakes your employees are going to but
• 37:44
  Speaker 10: you know one of the things that propagates this kind
• 37:47
  Speaker 10: of funk that people you know they spiral into is
• 37:50
  Speaker 10: the idea that their boss is never going to forgive
• 37:53
  Speaker 10: them or forget uh that that happened and uh yeah
• 37:56
  Speaker 10: that's an important thing good stuff mac always all right man.

  Speaker 13: organization focused on heart and brain health. Heart disease still
• 38:12
  Speaker 13: kills more people in the United States each year than
• 38:15
  Speaker 13: all types of cancer combined, but more than half of
• 38:17
  Speaker 13: Americans are unaware of this fact, according to a recent
• 38:20
  Speaker 13: Harris Poll survey conducted for the American Heart Association. However,
• 38:25
  Speaker 13: the majority of heart disease is preventable. New research has
• 38:28
  Speaker 13: improved the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease and
• 38:32
  Speaker 13: its risk factors. Efforts led by the American Heart Association
• 38:35
  Speaker 13: have reduced deaths from heart disease by half over the
• 38:38
  Speaker 13: past century and helped people with heart disease live longer
• 38:41
  Speaker 13: and more productive lives while managing their condition and risk factors.

  Speaker 31: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:37
  Speaker 31: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 31: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 31: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:48
  Speaker 31: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 31: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 31: of an infection that can spread from person to person.

  Speaker 4: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 44:18
  Speaker 18: Breaking the law.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: Breaking the law.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Breaking the law.
• 44:22
  Speaker 9: Breaking the law.
• 44:23
  Speaker 10: So what you're going to be doing, and I believe
• 44:25
  Speaker 10: they really are using the precedent of Obamacare as they
• 44:31
  Speaker 10: craft some of this new legislation where it's darkly brilliant,
• 44:37
  Speaker 10: the idea that, you know, this is the law and
• 44:41
  Speaker 10: failure to comply or in some way, shape or form,
• 44:46
  Speaker 10: failure to assist someone can be criminalized. And I see
• 44:52
  Speaker 10: a dangerous precedent. We're talking about abortion amendments, legislations going
• 44:57
  Speaker 10: on across the country. Virginia is square one in it.
• 45:01
  Speaker 10: I believe wholeheartedly that if they get this stuff passed in, quote,
• 45:05
  Speaker 10: purple Virginia, The Lord knows what they'll try to pass
• 45:10
  Speaker 10: in Illinois or California there. But it criminalizes dissent. If
• 45:16
  Speaker 10: you don't participate in this excreble commerce like abortion, you
• 45:21
  Speaker 10: will be punished. And I draw the direct line back
• 45:26
  Speaker 10: to Obamacare, where we taxed you, fined you for not
• 45:30
  Speaker 10: buying a consumer product. Can you imagine a bill that said,
• 45:34
  Speaker 10: If you don't buy a gun, we're going to tax
• 45:37
  Speaker 10: you 200 extra dollars every year for not buying a
• 45:40
  Speaker 10: firearm because we have to hire more police to protect you.
• 45:44
  Speaker 10: I could write the bill right now. Is it constitutional?
• 45:47
  Speaker 10: I think not. Better suited to answer that is our
• 45:49
  Speaker 10: friend Josh Hertzler from the Founding Freedoms Law Center, adjunct
• 45:55
  Speaker 10: to the Family Foundation, and he's getting ready for a
• 45:57
  Speaker 10: November 13th date. in Daswell County in front of a
• 46:02
  Speaker 10: judge on this abortion amendment. Josh, thank you so much, sir.
• 46:06
  Speaker 10: How are you doing this Thursday morning?
• 46:10
  Speaker 30: I'm doing well, Jim.
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: Thanks for having me. Always good to be with you.
• 46:13
  Speaker 10: Well, you know, we need more people like you. I
• 46:15
  Speaker 10: was telling folks this because with the midterms looming and
• 46:19
  Speaker 10: a lot of the doom scrolling that's got people feeling down,
• 46:23
  Speaker 10: I'm like, listen, if you really are that worried, don't
• 46:25
  Speaker 10: give money to political parties. Give money to groups like
• 46:29
  Speaker 10: Founding Freedoms Law Center and some of the Second Amendment
• 46:31
  Speaker 10: groups and the Fourth Amendment privacy groups that go into
• 46:36
  Speaker 10: court with people pro bono to help them protect their
• 46:41
  Speaker 10: rights because the Bill of Rights is still there. And
• 46:44
  Speaker 10: we just need to go in, roll up our sleeves
• 46:48
  Speaker 10: and bear out these cases. And you're one of the
• 46:51
  Speaker 10: best at it, Josh, if you don't mind me saying so.
• 46:55
  Speaker 10: So what happens... on November 13th, and is it determinant,
• 47:01
  Speaker 10: and I don't want to dissuade people from voting against
• 47:04
  Speaker 10: this constitutional amendment, but win, lose, or draw, you're.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: Still in court on the 13th?
• 47:13
  Speaker 30: Well, if the amendment passes on November 3rd, then we
• 47:17
  Speaker 30: will be in court. If it doesn't pass, there will
• 47:19
  Speaker 30: be no reason to try to overturn it because there's
• 47:21
  Speaker 30: nothing to overturn.
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: But, you know.
• 47:25
  Speaker 30: We anticipate that it could pass, so we're going to
• 47:28
  Speaker 30: be in court November 13th, and we're going to be
• 47:30
  Speaker 30: asking the court to issue an injunction to stop it.
• 47:37
  Speaker 30: We're very hopeful we'll win because we we have the
• 47:40
  Speaker 30: same judge that overturned the redistricting amendment earlier this year.
• 47:44
  Speaker 30: And he did so on similar grounds that we're arguing
• 47:49
  Speaker 30: over in this amendment. So I don't want to I
• 47:51
  Speaker 30: couldn't say what a judge will do. Every case is
• 47:54
  Speaker 30: a little bit different. But, you know, we're very optimistic.
• 47:59
  Speaker 30: that the law is on our side and that this
• 48:02
  Speaker 30: judge understands that. And the thing about what we're doing is,
• 48:07
  Speaker 30: since we're asking for a preliminary injunction, whichever side loses
• 48:11
  Speaker 30: a preliminary injunction, they have 15 days to appeal it
• 48:15
  Speaker 30: to the Virginia Supreme Court. It goes straight past the
• 48:18
  Speaker 30: Court of Appeals. It goes directly to the Supreme Court.
• 48:21
  Speaker 30: So In that we ultimately see this case going to
• 48:26
  Speaker 30: the Virginia Supreme Court, it's better that it get there sooner.
• 48:29
  Speaker 30: And so what we're doing is aiming to do that.
• 48:33
  Speaker 10: So you say similar to the redistricting, you were able
• 48:38
  Speaker 10: to get that overturned ostensibly on process, that they had
• 48:43
  Speaker 10: violated the legally laid out process for how laws are
• 48:49
  Speaker 10: supposed to be passed six ways from Sunday.
• 48:51
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 48:52
  Speaker 10: Are you bringing up, I guess, the fact that what's
• 48:56
  Speaker 10: on the ballot bears little resemblance to what's actually in
• 48:59
  Speaker 10: the amendment itself, that they didn't post the amendments? I
• 49:02
  Speaker 10: couldn't find the amendment in my polling place to show
• 49:06
  Speaker 10: it to my wife even when we voted last week.
• 49:10
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 49:11
  Speaker 30: Well, we've got a procedural claim and then we've got
• 49:14
  Speaker 30: a deceptive ballot language claim. And those were both at
• 49:18
  Speaker 30: issue in the redistricting campaign. and they're coming up again.
• 49:21
  Speaker 30: So there wasn't a proper posting by court clerks on
• 49:25
  Speaker 30: the courthouse doors of any of the courthouses across the Commonwealth.
• 49:30
  Speaker 30: And that might seem like a small thing, but when
• 49:33
  Speaker 30: you're amending the Constitution, a very significant thing, the courts
• 49:38
  Speaker 30: have traditionally– had held to strict compliance with procedural requirements.
• 49:46
  Speaker 30: And so if you skip a step, then you got
• 49:49
  Speaker 30: to go back and do it again and do it right.
• 49:51
  Speaker 30: And so it's about the rule of law. But then secondly,
• 49:54
  Speaker 30: you know, we saw with the redistricting amendment how deceptive
• 49:57
  Speaker 30: that ballot was, restoring fairness.
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: To elections, right?
• 50:02
  Speaker 27: Yeah.
• 50:04
  Speaker 30: Well, we think the legislature has done it again. And
• 50:07
  Speaker 30: when you read the ballot language about the abortion amendment,
• 50:10
  Speaker 30: you wouldn't know that it does a lot of the
• 50:13
  Speaker 30: terrible things that it does. And it doesn't even, for example,
• 50:17
  Speaker 30: state what the right is. It doesn't say anything about
• 50:20
  Speaker 30: fundamental right to reproductive freedom, which is precisely the right
• 50:23
  Speaker 30: that's in the language. So it's got big problems. And
• 50:28
  Speaker 30: we're hoping that this judge will agree with us that
• 50:31
  Speaker 30: it's unconstitutionally deceptive.
• 50:34
  Speaker 10: Josh Hetzler is on with us from Founding Freedoms Law Center.
• 50:37
  Speaker 10: We need to get you some herbal tea because I
• 50:40
  Speaker 10: don't want your voice worn out. I'm not going to
• 50:42
  Speaker 10: wear it out on you because we need you in
• 50:44
  Speaker 10: full song on November 13th if we don't vote it down.
• 50:50
  Speaker 10: And it seems like, you know, given the midterm elections,
• 50:54
  Speaker 10: that Virginia may see a good turnout because of these amendments.
• 51:00
  Speaker 10: And I saw a banner and it was an interesting one.
• 51:03
  Speaker 10: It said abortion is already legal in Virginia because that's
• 51:07
  Speaker 10: one of the things that's deceptive in this language is
• 51:10
  Speaker 10: it's making it sound like it's a case between, you know,
• 51:14
  Speaker 10: should we have abortion or not? And that's not what's
• 51:17
  Speaker 10: being decided.
• 51:20
  Speaker 30: That's exactly right. Virginia already has very permissive laws on abortion.
• 51:24
  Speaker 30: The question is whether we're going to allow there to
• 51:27
  Speaker 30: be no limits ever for any reason and no safety standards.
• 51:31
  Speaker 30: And then this amendment is more than just about abortion.
• 51:35
  Speaker 30: It's about issues of minors having sex and parental rights.
• 51:41
  Speaker 30: And it's about reproductive technologies and whether we can ever
• 51:48
  Speaker 30: regulate the types of things that we're doing with embryos
• 51:51
  Speaker 30: that we're creating in labs. And whether we can make
• 51:54
  Speaker 30: designer babies and control surrogacy, it's everything. And you're not
• 52:00
  Speaker 30: hearing that. And I think if people realized the scope
• 52:03
  Speaker 30: of this, they would be shocked. And I think they
• 52:06
  Speaker 30: would vote no.
• 52:08
  Speaker 10: And I think it's, you know, I drew ridiculous because
• 52:12
  Speaker 10: it's what I do because I'm a radio host, Josh.
• 52:15
  Speaker 10: But I said, you know, you could extrapolate this if
• 52:18
  Speaker 10: you wanted to. If a guy doesn't go home with
• 52:22
  Speaker 10: a girl and sleep with her, is he denying her
• 52:25
  Speaker 10: her constitutional right to an abortion? And I know that's
• 52:29
  Speaker 10: a ridiculous extrapolation on what's going on here. But when
• 52:33
  Speaker 10: you look at what could happen to crisis pregnancy centers
• 52:36
  Speaker 10: and potentially even adoption programs and organizations, it doesn't become
• 52:43
  Speaker 10: too hard to see that they're criminalizing dissent, both here
• 52:47
  Speaker 10: and in the United States.
• 52:51
  Speaker 13: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  Speaker 13: compression of spinal nerves, according to Dr. Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  Speaker 13: California-based chiropractor with more than 30 years of experience. This
• 53:01
  Speaker 13: compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury, or
• 53:05
  Speaker 13: simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:09
  Speaker 13: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:12
  Speaker 13: the neck and back, Dr. Fisher explains. His inventions, the
• 53:16
  Speaker 13: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device,
• 53:20
  Speaker 13: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:24
  Speaker 13: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction Devices are
• 53:27
  Speaker 13: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:30
  Speaker 13: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:33
  Speaker 13: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:36
  Speaker 13: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home.
• 53:38
