  Speaker 8: did say before this change of heart in Tehran that
• 3:40
  Speaker 8: he felt like the two countries were very close to

  Speaker 8: a deal. He also had stern words for Israel through
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: social media, as he posted, Israel will not be bombing
• 3:50
  Speaker 8: Lebanon any longer. They are prohibited from doing so by

  Speaker 8: the USA.
• 3:55
  Speaker 9: Enough is enough.
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: The Trump administration Friday renewed a waiver allowing countries to
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: buy sanctioned Russian oil already in tankers for about a month.

  Speaker 10: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
• 5:55
  Speaker 10: the American story, but not every site is telling that
• 5:58
  Speaker 10: story honestly and fairly. That's why the Heritage Foundation created
• 6:02
  Speaker 10: the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips
• 6:06
  Speaker 10: American citizens with the tools they need to enjoy the
• 6:10
  Speaker 10: sites that depict some of the greatest moments in our
• 6:13
  Speaker 10: nation's history, analyzing them for historical accuracy, and provides resources
• 6:18
  Speaker 10: for families or educators planning a visit. It currently covers
• 6:22
  Speaker 10: over forty five sites in the thirteen original colonies, but
• 6:26
  Speaker 10: sites from all fifty states will be added in time
• 6:29
  Speaker 10: for citizens to celebrate America to fifty this summer. From

  Speaker 11: You know it's true, difficult times have a way of
• 7:03
  Speaker 11: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
• 7:07
  Speaker 11: when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is
• 7:09
  Speaker 11: why so many people are joining meta share right now.
• 7:13
  Speaker 11: Metashare is a trusted way to save up to fifty
• 7:16
  Speaker 11: percent on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred
• 7:19
  Speaker 11: thousand people have already made the switch. It's pretty obvious why,
• 7:23
  Speaker 11: especially now during this challenging season with health care costs
• 7:27
  Speaker 11: and out of pocket expenses going up. Metashare can save
• 7:29
  Speaker 11: you a lot of money. The typical family saves five
• 7:33
  Speaker 11: hundred dollars a month. Medashare works too. It's been around
• 7:36
  Speaker 11: for thirty years. Members have shared more than five billion

  Speaker 7: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51

  Speaker 17: You.

• 13:41
  Speaker 5: There.
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: I had this conversation and it might have been road
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: weariness or the wine.
• 13:46
  Speaker 9: Or whatever it was.
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: Once we finally got here for this, just an abstract,
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: just a thought process. We have rights of passage in
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: the world. Apropol nothing, it's just a thought for you
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: to ruminate on, or you cull in or text into
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: But we have rights of passage in our society. We
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: bake them in, whether it's a bar slash bot mitzvah
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: or communion, confirmation, and then sweet sixteens and there's sort
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: of this acceptance that you are now in the adult class.
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: You're you're part of the grown ups. You're you're no
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: longer treated as a child. But maybe, just maybe we
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: need to investigate a process prior to sweet sixteens, like
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: bar mitzvahs and communions where we got to attend some classes,
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: got to take a test. We want to find out
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: if you're really ready, oh you know, and that you
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: think that there should be a litmus test. I mean,
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: just if you're going to transition from a protected class
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: children into the unprotected adult world where you wind up
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: all of a sudden being responsible for your actions.
• 15:14
  Speaker 9: I just to just throw it out there.
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: Just seems to me that if all these other societal organizations, yes,
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: I know we call them religions, Joe, you know, whether
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: it be you know, like I said, a bar or
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: a bot mitzvah or a communion or confirmation, you know,
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: there's there's.
• 15:34
  Speaker 21: A process, there's some classes, there's tests.
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: The adults say, sure, they've they've they've demonstrated a certain
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: grasp of what adulthood means and what what that should
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: look like and I know, I know, forty years we've
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: been trundling down this path of secularism where that's you
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: know that subject and I can hear the keyboard warriors. Now,
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: are you telling me that you want Kathy Hokel the governor,
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: you want Abigail Spanberger, you want Gavin Newsom writing some No,
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: I certainly don't want the state doing it, but just societally,
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: I mean, if we're going to celebrate this transition into
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: adulthood that seems to be along the lines of what
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: these sweet sixteen parties are. It's like, Okay, you're starting
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: to become an adult here, celebrate this. And I'm not
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: even sure the history of this kind of celebration, but
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: just is it wrong to say, can we sit down
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: for a few minutes and have a chat about whether
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: you're ready to be an adult in the world? Now,
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: my particular niece present company. Absolutely she's ready to be
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: an adult in the world. She's more ready than a
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: lot of members of the US House of Representatives are
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: to be an adult in the world. But that's just saying.
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: It's just you know, as I as I wander the
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: wasteland of seeing some of these you know, bank breaking
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: celebrations of this passage into adulthood. Don't you think there
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: should be some process for it? Anyway, on onto a process.
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: We were talking about this earlier on and I brought
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: up good old Danang Dick Blumenthal, Viva viva Dnang Dick Blumenthal,
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: whose expert in what illegal war looks like. And it's
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: interesting because a lot of the Democrats, it's that, you know,
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: like Elise Slacken and Mark Kelly, who took part in
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: that you have the right to and really the sworn
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: oath to disobey illegal orderacory.
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: But that trust is at risk.
• 18:13
  Speaker 17: This administration is pitting our uniform military.
• 18:16
  Speaker 15: And intelligence community professionals against American citizens.
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: They're they're the ones pitting the intelligence community who's the
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: one that wants FAISA? And you know, they're all out
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: there making their case that you know, oh no, no,
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: we want And I think Danang Dick Blumenthal's comments on
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: this are particularly pointed because remember he told you he
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: was in Vietnam when he wasn't, so he sure certainly
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: should know, you know, what an illegal war looks like.
• 18:47
  Speaker 16: The troops are in no way to blame for this
• 18:52
  Speaker 16: illegal war.
• 18:53
  Speaker 14: The responsibility is solely and simply on the part of
• 18:58
  Speaker 14: the President and his immediate.
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: Henchman Henchman henchman so having not served in Vietnam the
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: way he told us to Danang Dick weighing in on
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: what an illegal war looks like me personally, And they're
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: all circling the corpse of the political career of who
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: I presume will be the next Republican Senator from Pennsylvania,
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: John Fetterman, or perhaps the first independent senator from a
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: conservative standpoint. Ye, And we disagree on a lot of things,
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: but this is Fetterman on it.
• 19:35
  Speaker 20: None of this has been illegal. Every single president and
• 19:39
  Speaker 20: now we're forty eight days into it, and none of
• 19:42
  Speaker 20: this has been illegal. Every single president in those forty
• 19:46
  Speaker 20: seven years have effectively dealt with the Iranian nuclear problem
• 19:52
  Speaker 20: and the danger.
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: By ignoring it, by bribing them, by handling it the
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: way a lot of people, they're sixteen year olds here.
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: If I give you some money, will you stop causing
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: me problems? And that's our public policy now on Iran,
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: and it has been for forty eight years, truthfully, and
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: again I suggest you go back to the podcasts that
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: we posted on April thirteenth, which for those keeping scores.
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: Thomas Jefferson's birthday, you posted a podcast that goes back
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: to Thomas Jefferson's history with the Barbary Pirates in the
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: day having met with the emissaries of the Barbary Pirates
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: who were kidnapping and killing American sailors. We had done
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: nothing to them, but they said, no, you're not an Islamist,
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: so we get to kill you because we say so.
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: He read the Quran, and he met with the leaders
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: of the Barbary Pirates, and Thomas Jefferson himself said and wrote,
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: we might need to deal with this with the war
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: that was seventeen eighty six.
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: He wrote that, and where have.
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: We been since then? Where have we gone since then?
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: Forty three years ago the American embassy in Beirut was
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: blown up? Where have we gone since then? Thank you
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: Clark Burrah. How many Americans, whether it's Beirut or in
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: ships in the Mediterranean, just in the past year or two,
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: have been blown up or have been grievously injured by
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: missiles and bombs placed by Hesbela and Hamas at the
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: behest of the Iranian regime. How many times have they
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: held the Strait of Hormuz hostage, and now you know
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: we see exactly what they meant by doing that. Fetterman's right.
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: Every president has dealt with him the way most you
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: know pop fathers deal with sixteen years rolls.
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: Yes?

  Speaker 18: when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
• 26:57

• 27:03

  Speaker 3: I'm telling any first thing today by Joe Thomas on
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: the Talk Media Network.
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: So the emails come in on our discussion, you know,
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: and It's always the fun. It's the trivia that that
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: brings out the best in the school yard, doesn't it?
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: This one, Joe, when the hormones kick in adulthood begins?
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: What were you a writer for the Clinton administration?
• 28:51
  Speaker 17: Is?
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: That sounds like a defense for President Clinton there, But
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: like Secretary Kennedy, that's a bizarre piece of testimony from
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: facing off with a member of the Senate who made
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: the case. Do we have the full clip of it?
• 29:13
  Speaker 22: There is medical degree and you have no formal medical training.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Of the twenty six h Secretary is medical my time?
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: It's my time, And then of course goes into the
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: whole jack of I'm reclaiming my time, you know, And
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: only in a congressional hearing can you have somebody ask
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: a question and then when somebody is trying to answer it,
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: you say, I don't accept that. I want my time back.
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: You know, we can make five minutes, ten minutes if
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: you want, because once you answer the question, I want
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: my time back to ask it again. And she went to, oh,
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: this is one of the most puzzling little bits of legislation,
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: and I've been trying to vet this statement here in
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: Senator Kennedy's testimony yesterday.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Because it doesn't make any phrase means, and I.
• 30:06
  Speaker 22: Never reparented or parented, I should say a black have
• 30:10
  Speaker 22: you ever reparented or parented? I should say a black child.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what that phrase means.
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: And I don't yes or no answer I do.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to answer something that I didn't say.
• 30:24
  Speaker 22: You absolutely said it.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I'd like to hear the recording. So because it doesn't
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: make any I don't even.
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: Know at times.
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: So the premise is that somewhere along the line, somewhere
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: Robert F. Kennedy Junior said that black kids get put
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: on these antidepressants like Benzo's and become violent, and that they,
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: you know, they should be reparented because of the loss
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: of childhood time in these medications. And the argument is
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: he's not a doctor, and he has no you know,
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: anything about medicine. Probably has studied the medical outcomes of
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: treatments more than a lot of the doctors out there.
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: I will just say that much for him. But hamp
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: writes in from Vero Beach, I wonder what Dick Cheney's
• 31:19
  Speaker 8: cardiologists would think of non medical congresswomen writing about statins
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: and other medical Well, that's the Kennedy hearings. It's all
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: about non doctors. Woman's not a doctor interrogating him about,
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: you know, whether or not people have ill effects of
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: these antidepressants. And to be fair, this is why this
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: whole interchange with Robert F. Kennedy juniors, why we fail
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: at having a reasonable conversation and why people don't trust
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: the government about mental health care.
• 32:01
  Speaker 22: Have you ever reparented or parented I should say, a
• 32:05
  Speaker 22: black child.
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: Well, I mean, you know what the idea that a
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: black child is different than a white child. What did
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: Joe Biden say black kids are just as capable of
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: succeeding as rich kids something like that, poor kids? No,
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: it was poor kids are just as capable of achieving
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: something as white kids. Godle love Joe Biden. We can't
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: have a reasonable conversation about mental health care in this
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: country because you've got posturing pontificates behind Senate pins that
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: make ridiculous statements that immediately dismiss any discussion about the
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: impact of antidepressants on a teenager under the idea of
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: your just being a racist and you have no medical
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: degree in a statement as RFK Junior said at the
• 33:09
  Speaker 8: very end, he doesn't even recall stating and he has
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: no idea.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: About it, an I don't know at times.
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: So immediately we have now urinated all over the barbecue
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: pit of a reasonable conversation that needs to be had
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: about how are we treating people who depressed are having
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: anger issues. We just went through this here in Virginia
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: just a day ago, the story of an esteemed member
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: of the Democratic Party in a murder suicide, high ranking
• 34:02
  Speaker 8: reached the level of being Lieutenant Governor of the Commonwealth
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: of Virginia. His life for whatever reasons, you know, certainly
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: publicly some peccadillos, some Clinton esque misdoings, undid his political world.
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: But that was five years ago. So was that just
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: festering to the point where he shot his soon to
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: be ex wife and then took his own life rather
• 34:32
  Speaker 8: than go on with life in the world. How do
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: you get to a point where you're making that kind
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: of decision And I'm not even making political hay out
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: of it. This is human life wasted, two of them
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: because our decision tree has been corrupted, corroded, collapsed all
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: right up being alliterative, and you know, we we don't
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: have honest conversations because everyone thinks it has to be
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: a governmental solution. And this whole interchange with Robert F.
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: Kennedy Jr. About black kids and Andy Deepressants is why
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: nobody trusts anyone to talk about mental health care.
• 35:22
  Speaker 22: Have you ever reparented or parented? I should say a
• 35:26
  Speaker 22: black child.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what that phrase means. And I
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: just a yes or no answer.
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: Yes or no. I don't even know what you're talking about,
• 35:35
  Speaker 8: You crazy person. Just because you have a Senate pin
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: doesn't mean you're not insane. Wow, it's not insane. It's
• 35:43
  Speaker 8: just posturing and it and it impedes our ability to
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: get to real answers for real people in real pain.
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: And that's more infuriating than anything else. I don't care
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: if she's a Democrat and he's a Democrat or it
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: used to be. And probably his biggest crime is he
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: used to be a Democrat and now he's not, and
• 36:06
  Speaker 8: that makes them really salty about him. It's bad enough
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: you're in the Trump administration used to be a Democrat.
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: How dare you You've given Trump our secret handshake on
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: our decoder ring codes? But there are real questions that
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: have to be answered, and you and I know it.
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: And I was going to go into this point because
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: I was consulted yesterday as I was driving down here
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: for this party. Consultant friend of mine said you should
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: consider having a weekly feature with a psychiatrist. Apparently this
• 36:49
  Speaker 8: is something a lot of politically oriented talk shows do
• 36:53
  Speaker 8: now is they bring in a headshrinker. We use that
• 36:58
  Speaker 8: phrase anymore, only for Aboriginal tribes. Okay, but you know,
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: a psychiatrist to deal with listeners who are feeling stressed
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: out about politics. I don't think this program needs that
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: because I don't think we just sit here and talk
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: politics all the time outside of how the politicians misdeeds
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: impact your life. And I hope we're not depressing you.
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: But I was told that. You know, if you tell me,
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: should we have a psychiatrist on every week to help
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: do mass therapy? And can mass therapy even work? Because
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: that was my question. I mean, I understand that group
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: therapy has been a thing, you know, faster than you
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: can say Bob Newhart Show, But you know, group therapy
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: only gets you to a point. It helps people kind
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: of open doors, but it's not real medical treatment. That's
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: like saying walking into the emergency room and saying who
• 37:54
  Speaker 8: hurts in their leg and who hurts in their ribs?
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: And who hurts between their ears and then calling that
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: a diagnosis.
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: of forty four herbal supplements had no trace of the
• 38:08

  Speaker 3: In that first thing today on the Talk Media Network
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: by Joe Thomas.
• 45:00
  Speaker 8: The emails kind of says it all. I don't want
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: the government determining who's crazy or not. Ask Joseph Stalin
• 45:08
  Speaker 8: if that's a good idea. Of course, this is essentially
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: why you know this. This whole Senate hearing on RFK is
• 45:19
  Speaker 8: you know, insane, as Senator Sewell goes after him, and.
• 45:24
  Speaker 22: You have no formal medical training.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: Of the twenty six secretaries.
• 45:34
  Speaker 22: Medical my time, and I say to the chairman, I
• 45:38
  Speaker 22: want to reclaim.
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: My time, because you know you dare to answer my question.
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: They're during it. And the question is do you know
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: what is your statement on this on whether or not
• 45:51
  Speaker 8: you know there are issues with antidepressants, and so these
• 46:01
  Speaker 8: gotcha moments are all you know if you have an
• 46:03
  Speaker 8: honest conversation about what happens to people on antidepressants, and
• 46:08
  Speaker 8: all of a sudden you're no longer able to discuss
• 46:10
  Speaker 8: this stuff and there's no one answer.
• 46:13
  Speaker 9: This is like.
• 46:13
  Speaker 8: Saying I have an answer for homelessness. Homelessness comes from
• 46:17
  Speaker 8: a million places. Some of it's mental health, some of
• 46:20
  Speaker 8: it isn't, but a lot of it, and I would
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: argue the lion's share of it comes from the idea
• 46:31
  Speaker 8: that somebody else has done someone wrong and that the
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: society is failing, whether it's you know, you've fallen into
• 46:43
  Speaker 8: a crack and you can't get out and you're looking
• 46:47
  Speaker 8: for because politicians will make the warrantless statement that they
• 46:51
  Speaker 8: can help you, and the idea that there is a
• 46:59
  Speaker 8: one size fit's all moment. I mean, just for an
• 47:03
  Speaker 8: abstract one portion of the mental health conversation is regarding
• 47:08
  Speaker 8: violence and violent people with violent tendencies and they get
• 47:15
  Speaker 8: prescribed something to deal with their violent tendencies and it
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: makes them feel, you know, less violent, but it also
• 47:21
  Speaker 8: makes them feel horrible, so they stop taking the drugs
• 47:25
  Speaker 8: and then they go kill a bunch of people because
• 47:28
  Speaker 8: the voices come back in their heads. And that's happened
• 47:31
  Speaker 8: in dozens of instances where somebody has stopped taking their
• 47:38
  Speaker 8: medications and then you know, become violent because that's what
• 47:42
  Speaker 8: the medications were stopping them from being. But was it
• 47:45
  Speaker 8: healing them. The whole mental health industry in the United
• 47:51
  Speaker 8: States right now is predicated on treating symptoms, not healing
• 47:57
  Speaker 8: the injury. In the psychiatric world and the psychological world,
• 48:06
  Speaker 8: you know, it has fumbled the ball on this as well,
• 48:08
  Speaker 8: because there is a much more holistic approach to it.
• 48:12
  Speaker 8: But we don't want to deal with that anymore anymore
• 48:16
  Speaker 8: than we want taxpayer dollars going to chiropractors because they
• 48:20
  Speaker 8: can't prove you know, some you know double blind test.
• 48:24
  Speaker 8: You can't go and say, well, in this double blind
• 48:30
  Speaker 8: survey of placebo plus et cetera, et cetera. This is proven,
• 48:35
  Speaker 8: so psychiatry and psychology kind of fall by the wayside
• 48:39
  Speaker 8: in the world of mental health treatment. Also, because it
• 48:43
  Speaker 8: doesn't have an end. You can't say, well, you need
• 48:47
  Speaker 8: to see this guy for six weeks, and then the
• 48:50
  Speaker 8: government says, okay, we'll pay for it for six weeks.
• 48:53
  Speaker 8: But what if six weeks you haven't you addressed what
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: is causing it. I've taught to psychological profess who have
• 49:00
  Speaker 8: told me that six weeks or three months or four
• 49:03
  Speaker 8: month is almost impossible to even get to the root
• 49:07
  Speaker 8: of what's causing it. This is like meatball surgery, only
• 49:10
  Speaker 8: in your head. And Robert F. Kennedy Junior has been
• 49:17
  Speaker 8: one of those foremost advocates against it. Quick note, does
• 49:22
  Speaker 8: anyone know this? Dean writes in to JT in the
• 49:26
  Speaker 8: Morning Radio at gmail dot com. Does anyone know what
• 49:29
  Speaker 8: the esteemed senator has received from the pharmaceutical industry in
• 49:33
  Speaker 8: the way of campaign contributions and this unfortunately, you will
• 49:42
  Speaker 8: probably find some reasonable amount of contributions, whether it be
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: from Astrozeneka or Pfizer or whatever. But that doesn't change
• 49:58
  Speaker 8: the fact that she is now on re asking. You know,
• 50:01
  Speaker 8: if you don't think these medications are helping their symptom relief.
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: That's like saying, I'm taking a pain reliever or an
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: opioid for my shoulder injury. And how many of those
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: people wind up on fentanyl addicted to fentanyl because that's
• 50:17
  Speaker 8: there they lose their prescription for the pain medication and
• 50:23
  Speaker 8: then have to find some other way to deal with it.
• 50:31
  Speaker 8: All of this stuff is well, it's it's pop psychiatry
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: made worse because it's being dealt with by politicians. And
• 50:42
  Speaker 8: we need to get all of that out of the landscape.
• 50:45
  Speaker 8: And this is one of the points I've made about Willowbrook.
• 50:49
  Speaker 8: And you know, aside from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: Geraldo Rivera's expose on the Willowbrook Sanitarium in New York
• 50:59
  Speaker 8: is a lot of the reason we can't deal with
• 51:02
  Speaker 8: because the state is still trying to do this. Because
• 51:06
  Speaker 8: politicians want to be seen as the answer men and
• 51:09
  Speaker 8: the answer women. They can't help themselves. That's their particular addiction,
• 51:15
  Speaker 8: aside to others that they may have and carry with
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: them along with it. Their main addiction is their addiction
• 51:21
  Speaker 8: to being the answer man or the answer woman. To
• 51:25
  Speaker 8: be fair, it impacts my industry.
• 51:27
  Speaker 9: A lot too.
• 51:28
  Speaker 8: How many people who do what I do insist that
• 51:31
  Speaker 8: they are the answer? I know the question. The question
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: is what is making people make anti social choices? What
• 51:41
  Speaker 8: has caused this kind of harm in their decision making software?
• 51:47
  Speaker 8: What virus has gotten in there? And as a society
• 51:54
  Speaker 8: we need to reach out for that because there are
• 51:56
  Speaker 8: societal norms. Going back to what I was saying about,
• 51:59
  Speaker 8: you know, our mitzvahs and communions and these rights of passage,
• 52:06
  Speaker 8: learning what is right and wrong. How many kids have
• 52:08
  Speaker 8: grown up feral for the most part in the last
• 52:15
  Speaker 8: twenty years, grown up without anyone telling them this is
• 52:18
  Speaker 8: what's right and wrong because their parents have smoked a
• 52:21
  Speaker 8: little too much granola and think there is no right
• 52:24
  Speaker 8: and wrong and call me by my first name, don't
• 52:27
  Speaker 8: call me mom, call me yeah, and come on, folks.
• 52:31
  Speaker 8: Kids are growing up looking for answers, and then we
• 52:34
  Speaker 8: don't give them any. And then we say, well, maybe
• 52:36
  Speaker 8: some zoloft will help because they're depressed or they're anxious
• 52:40
  Speaker 8: because they don't know the answers in a world that
• 52:42
  Speaker 8: seems more and more cacophonally demanding that they come up
• 52:46
  Speaker 8: with answers for it seems like a place we might
• 52:50
  Speaker 8: want to start.
• 52:51
  Speaker 13: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
• 52:54
  Speaker 13: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
• 52:56
  Speaker 13: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected andulnerable.
