just occupy every city because of so called prime The.

Speaker 2: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
0:14
the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte Smith, George.
0:18
Speaker 1: Said, steal me stem.
0:20
Speaker 3: You have a day at least for work, when the
0:23
sun comes up, drops.
0:25

Speaker 6: He only as.
0:40
Speaker 1: Joe here hold these truths.
0:46
Speaker 7: God bless you for letting you, letting us be of
0:48
service to you each morning Talk Media Network, and whether
0:53
it be amplitude or frequency modulation, that you just bask
0:57
in the goodness this morning as you either be or
1:00
wrap up your day, I know what a cacophony it
1:03
can be, because morning is the ancient Latin word for
1:07
last minute. Everything you put off to the last minute
1:10
has to be done in the morning, either before you
1:12
finish your day or as it's getting started. So I
1:15
get it. Text messages come into four three four eight
1:18
eight two four two one seven. Brought to you our
1:22
special coverage of the State Policy Network Annual meeting here
1:26
in the French Quarter by Daily Signal Dot com I
1:30
write for him, and I'm going to be posting blogs already.
1:32
I think one coming up this morning at eleven uh.
1:35
And then the Virginia Institute for Public Policy Virginia Institute
1:40
dot org. It is what I like to refer to
1:44
as a do tank. Sure, we think, we think quite
1:46
a bit. I mean, we have a five step program
1:49
that you could eliminate sales tax in your state. There
1:52
and just looking for somebody who's running for governor to
1:55
want to pick it up. And Ray Nostein, the author
2:00
the editor of the State Policy Networks American Habits newsletter. Ray,
2:05
last question for you. I mentioned this at the onset
2:07
and I want to finish on the point. I think,
2:10
even especially with the gift that is Donald Trump, even
2:14
Democrats are realizing. You know, we watch what's California and Minnesota,
2:19
several places where even the left is starting to get
2:22
the idea of federalism and the trouble, whether it's you know,
2:27
the University of Virginia losing its budget if it continues
2:32
DEI programs, and you know, states losing funding over immigration
2:38
enforcement policies and sanctuaries, I think they're starting to realize
2:42
what federalism means, right, yeah, Joe, I.
2:45
Speaker 8: Mean that's a great point.
2:46
Speaker 1: You're exactly right.
2:47
Speaker 8: I think anytime you tie yourself to the federal government,
2:49
this isn't this is true of you know, Christian organizations
2:53
or conservative organizations that are taking federal money. Then you become,
2:57
you know, beholden to those dollars, right, And so then
3:01
you know, if you have a president or an administration
3:04
that you don't agree with, they can start mandating certain
3:06
things for your organization, and again you have to compromise
3:10
your conscience or decide do we want to stand on
3:13
principle and be dependent independent of that those federal dollars.
3:18
Speaker 7: So, can folks get your column if they go to
3:20
SPN dot org or is it an easier way to
3:23
subscribe to it?
3:24
Speaker 8: Tell you exactly, go to Americanhabits dot org. My name
3:27
is Ray Unstein. I'm the editor, and we have a
3:30
lot of articles on federalism. We have a lot of
3:33
content with interviews from state policy makers who are doing
3:36
these things that we just talked about today, Joe, about
3:39
pushing back against the federal government, but also just creating
3:43
a society and culture or self government rules and reminding
3:47
people that you know you are the master of your government,
3:51
and the people that serve you are in service to
3:53
you and your aims and your goals.
3:56
Speaker 1: Appreciate it.
3:57
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, Ray, you say stuff like that middle schooler
4:01
goes back to that Seinfeld episode. But I digress. It's
4:04
time for our first things this morning, so that we
4:07
can talk about the news.
4:09
Speaker 1: Got to know what the news is.
4:11
Speaker 7: First, President Trump did something no other president has done before.
4:14
Voted to relieve a governor from the Federal Reserve. Sent
4:19
a letter to Lisa Cook. You are hereby removed from
4:22
your position on the Board of Governors, effective immediately. Illinois
4:26
Governor JB. Pritzker, fancying himself a twenty to twenty eight
4:30
presidential candidate, called President Trump a want to be dictator
4:34
and an arrogant little man for suggesting that National Guards
4:37
troops be deployed to help support the police fighting crime
4:42
in Chicago. More than half of all registered voters, however,
4:46
Pritzker should look at this. According to a survey done
4:49
by the Harris Group at the behest of the Harvard
4:53
Center for American Political Studies, has determined that more than
4:57
half of all registered voters fifty four percent, including twenty
5:02
eight percent of all Democrats support President Trump's actions to
5:09
fight crime in Washington, DC furtherover within the survey. Forty
5:16
seven percent of Independence support it, and fifty one percent
5:20
said the moves would make Washington safer again, with twenty
5:23
eight percent of Democrats answering that way. Federal judge is
5:29
holding Kilmar Garcia in Virginia because his defense attorneys say
5:34
he hasn't had his day in court yet. South Korean
5:38
President Lie Je mung has proposed a meeting between President
5:41
Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong un that they
5:44
would host in South Korea as part of a regional forum.
5:49
The administration may seek to rename the Department of Defense.
5:54
This based on a question asked of Donald Trump, who
5:57
then mused to the reporter, why why are we defense?
6:02
It used to be called the Department of War and
6:04
it sounded much stronger. Of course, the headline then became
6:08
Trump to rename Pentagon. Speaking of renaming Cracker Barrel, the
6:15
business that inflamed everyone and it took the cracker Barrel
6:19
off of its logo could have done a better job,
6:22
according to the CEO and explaining their new logo after
6:26
receiving much negative reports from it. A promise to our guests,
6:32
the restaurant chain acknowledged the negative reaction. Virginia's two candidates
6:38
for governor, confronted about the redistrictings in Texas and California
6:44
and now the court ruling in Utah, have both stated
6:47
that neither of them are interested in redrawing Virginia's congressional districts.
6:52
Both Winsome Earl Sears and Abigail Spanberger said they had
6:56
no such interest in doing either of those things, and
6:58
those are our firsts.

Speaker 12: Exercise is hard, so was maintain a healthy diet. Of course,
10:03
neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
10:08
heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
10:12
Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
10:15
few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
10:21
Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
10:24
diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
10:27
changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
10:32
because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
10:36
starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor,

Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
13:16
Speaker 1: And that's the cemnation or just opponent state you better
13:25
look out people.
13:28
Speaker 9: Lauren gets too.
13:29
Speaker 1: Lay good question. Eric.
13:32
Speaker 7: A great song, by the way, if you wondered if
13:36
Eric Clapton still had it. Of course you never hear
13:38
the song on the radio except on this program. It's
13:41
from twenty twenty two, an album he did with Van
13:45
Morrison against the COVID lockdowns.
13:48
Speaker 1: God bless you Eric.
13:49
Speaker 7: I was never a huge Eric Clapton fan until he
13:52
did that record with Van Morrison about the COVID lockdowns.
13:56
And all my friends in corporate radio were told told
14:00
by you know I this and QUM that and all
14:04
these different corporate owners get rid of all of your
14:07
Clepton songs.
14:09
Speaker 1: He's a COVID denier.
14:11
Speaker 7: Yeah, everyone's got to have a label, right, Terry writes
14:15
into four three four eight eight two four two one
14:19
seven or text line.
14:20
Speaker 1: You can call it as well. I mean you heard
14:22
Clark do it as well.
14:25
Speaker 7: But writes in Joey saw your picture on social media
14:28
of the studio you're using in New Orleans. I like
14:31
the phrase morning at the improv. You definitely need a
14:34
Joe Thomas in the morning Neon sign behind you, and
14:40
you're definitely funnier than most of the comedians these days.
14:43
Dot dot dot, wait for it, dot dot dot. That's
14:47
not saying much about you, but more about what the
14:50
state of comedy is these days.
14:52
Speaker 1: Nice.
14:53
Speaker 7: I appreciate that very much, so speaking of comedy, you know,
14:58
sort of comedy adjacent. Then we'll get to you on
15:00
the phones in a second. But doctor Clark brought this up.
15:06
The the slogan on Virginia's state flag is sixth semper tyrannus,
15:12
thus unto tyrants, and we were talking about other, you know,
15:16
ways to do the phrase, and I tweaked it a
15:20
little bit for you. You were talking about the return
15:25
to the tyrants. And by the way, if you wonder
15:28
where the word comes from, the Latin for the return
15:33
of the tyrants is reddit tyrannorum reddit tyrannorum, as in,
15:42
you know, I don't know if that's where the Internet site.
15:44
I have to imagine whoever launched the Internet posting board
15:49
you knew something about Latin there. But another phrase that
15:53
I think is even more applicable for today's world of democracy,
15:58
or as Ray likes to call it, curancy. We are
16:02
the tyrants, and the Latin translation for that is no
16:07
Sooness Tarranni, that's the new slogan for states like Virginia
16:12
and New York, and we all want to vote. We
16:15
want to have a vote on whether you can open
16:17
a business. We want to have a vote on whether
16:19
you can keep bees in your yard. We want to
16:21
have a vote on what you put on your property.
16:23
We want to have a vote on how big your
16:25
property is. All of this so, actually, I think the
16:29
Latin for us now is no sumus tyranny. We are
16:33
the tyrants. Good morning, you're on the air first thing
16:36
this morning with Joe Thomas.
16:37
Speaker 1: Who's this?
16:40
Speaker 25: I mean it's John Rezach. I'm calling from Oregon.
16:44
Speaker 1: Hey, how are you.
16:47
Speaker 20: I'm good.
16:48
Speaker 26: I was hoping you could touch on the Odot story
16:51
that you ran yesterday morning.
16:54
Speaker 7: About the funding of I'm trying to go back to
16:58
in my memory. Yeah, we were talking about the Department
17:00
of Transportation and how it has burned through its capital wastefully,
17:08
as they always do, and now they have a big
17:10
hole in their budget and they want to go back
17:13
for more car tax. I think it's more car tax, right,
17:16
is what they're trying to hit you with.
17:20
Speaker 25: Yeah, that I'm not sure about.
17:21
Speaker 26: There are a couple of the things that were left
17:23
out of the story.
17:24
Speaker 25: I don't know if that was because.
17:26
Speaker 26: That fellow named John hadn't been around long enough or not.
17:33
I've lived in Oregon for over fifty years, almost fifty years,
17:41
sort of four years that I lived in Montana when
17:44
Governor Barbara Roberts passed a cigarette tax used specifically for
17:53
O DOOT funding.
17:54
Speaker 7: Well, you're telling about John Charles. John Charles is the
17:58
I guess the CEO or press president of the Cascade Foundation,
18:02
which is a conservative group from Oregon, one of the
18:06
participants here in the State Policy network there. And I
18:10
know we didn't spend a ton of time on the
18:12
issues with ODON, and most of it is because I
18:15
know the problems we have here in Virginia, and he
18:18
sort of brought it up as a comparison. He said,
18:21
you know, you have some of the same problems in
18:23
Virginia and OSS. What has happened is they keep trying
18:27
to come up with new ways. First they tax you
18:30
on the purchase of your car, then they tax you
18:32
on the gas you use in the car. Then they
18:35
taxed you every year for the ownership of the car.
18:38
And then when after much taxpayer funded promotion, we started
18:44
buying electric cars, they ran out of gas or they
18:47
started to see a decline in gas taxes, so they
18:50
wanted to increase the taxes specifically paid by electric car
18:55
owners there to fund it. And it never seemed to
18:58
be enough, and they were always you know, playing fast
19:01
and loose with where the money was going. Then they
19:03
wanted to do a miles driven tax where they would
19:07
put a tracking device on your car and every mile
19:10
you drove on Virginia roads you would be billed, you know,
19:14
a percentage. It was every possible way they could stick
19:17
their hand in your pocket.
19:19
Speaker 1: So, so catch us up.
19:20
Speaker 7: Then what did John leave out of the odont story
19:23
that you felt like was left out?
19:26
Speaker 26: Well, the the cigarette tax was passed specifically to pay
19:30
for the roads, and everybody supposedly voted for it in
19:34
that mail in ballot that's not.
19:38
Speaker 25: Now known fraud.
19:39
Speaker 4: Mm hm.
19:42
Speaker 26: Well, the same governor, Barbara Roberts, moved to Oregon and
19:46
she did the same exact thing here.
19:49
Speaker 7: Oh so she was the Montana governor and did this
19:51
and then came and did the same thing in Oregon.
19:55
Speaker 26: She became the governor here in Oregon. Yes, and she
19:58
did the same exact thing. Gosh, and when that started
20:01
running low on funds, they passed the marijuana initiative and
20:06
then there's the sand.
20:07
Speaker 1: Tax on the marijuana sales.
20:13
Speaker 26: Yeah, well, the taxes are probably being funneled into that
20:19
whole O DOT thing. Once did money dried out on
20:22
the cigarette tax, they had to go for other things.
20:25
Speaker 1: So does Oregon.
20:26
Speaker 7: And you may not know. I don't know. I don't
20:28
know myself. I'm asking because I don't know. But in Virginia,
20:31
the department, especially the Department of Transportation is in a silo.
20:35
You know, it can't go and get money from some
20:37
other part of the state budget. It has to be
20:40
you know, all its money's come from specifically targeted things.
20:43
Do you know if they do that in Oregon with
20:45
the budget is that you know, you have to pay
20:48
your own bills.
20:51
Speaker 25: I believe they do.
20:52
Speaker 26: Yeah, they're One of the other things that I wanted
20:58
to bring up was that there are doing it on
21:01
the gambling as well. The lottery dollars are going for
21:05
O DOT funding. Really, and there's there is not casinos everywhere, well,
21:16
there is that north towards Portland and Salem that area,
21:22
but here in Kalamuth Falls you can go to a
21:26
store and there will be machines there that you can
21:30
do that. Gambling and there's superble Parrot, Yellow Flamingo.
21:36
Speaker 7: Yeah, the games of chance. And it's always a cash
21:40
crab though. I mean, you talk about sin taxes, you know,
21:43
marijuana was this we're coming up on our news here.
21:45
I appreciate it, you know, and checking in from there
21:49
and filling in some of the gaps in the story
21:52
of the Department of Transportation, and there's always a handout
21:55
and it's always we all voted for it. Now you

Speaker 20: Hi.
23:01
Speaker 29: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
23:06
Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
23:11
better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
23:16
up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
23:20
veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
23:25
personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
23:31
and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
23:34
on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
23:40
a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
23:44
AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
23:48
your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
23:53
center of our profession. For more information on AI and
23:57

28:23
scribbled down there. It's a weird time, Mac. I mean,
28:27
you got all these things just getting ready to get
28:29
started here. It's college football, high school football, you know,
28:34
the US Open. Every little cafe, every Beignet shop in
28:40
New Orleans had the tennis matches on, and I'm like,
28:43
I'm trying to follow it, Like.
28:44
Speaker 1: I don't know where's the Williams. No Williams sisters anywhere
28:49
in here? Can I get up? Yeah? Yesterday? And it's
28:52
funny because I didn't have time this morning. The other
28:54
update to get in the US Open. But American Francis
28:57
Tiafa won in three SATs, Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton advanced,
29:01
and Carlos Alcoraz buzzed his beautiful hair. I wish he'd
29:04
send it to me. Uh, he's getting teased about his haircut.
29:07
The women's side, Madison Keys was upset. So with all
29:09
that going on, and I didn't get a chance yesterday.
29:11
Talk about Sunday because in the third set, Benjamin Bonse
29:15
was serving for the match when a photographer walked on
29:18
the court. Okay, what Bonzi's first serve missed, but umpire
29:22
Greg allen's Worth ruled that the photographer's delay should result
29:26
and Bonzi having his first serve back, and then Medvedev,
29:29
who is a you know, he's an alley little guy. Anyway,
29:33
went crazy. This is how the full listen listen to
29:35
the chair umpire with it. Wait, please not now, get
29:38
off the court. Please. It's like a photographer had just
29:44
cart someone to the.
29:45
Speaker 8: Court, ladies and gentleman because of the delay caused by an.
29:48
Speaker 7: Outside getting the first served.
29:53
Speaker 1: So Medvedev then just got the crowd into it, wanted
29:56
everybody to boo, and they were still booing. He rescued
29:59
himself from med point at that time. He got the
30:02
crowd up and there were all kinds of delays and anyway,
30:06
Bonzi went on to win. So selku Akar was the
30:10
freelance photographer and he told the reporters that he liked
30:14
see they pulled his credential and said he can't come back.
30:18
And he said he likened his punishment to a lynching.
30:24
Speaker 7: Everything's lynching now, okay, speaking of somebody who can't get in.
30:30
Speaker 1: Dave Portnoy, who was with Barstool Sports run not with,
30:33
but he owns and runs, is barred from this Saturday's
30:37
Ohio State Texas game when they kick off the season.
30:40
The report caught the attention of many around college football,
30:44
including former Michigan Wolverine's assistant coach Connor Stallions. Stallions went
30:50
to social media and said, quote, do you need tickets? Nice?
30:56
How good is that? I love it because you know,
30:59
of course Stallions the whole uh, you know, the whole,
31:02
the sign stealing game anyway, and he got an eight
31:06
year you know, show cous winner.
31:07
Speaker 2: All right.
31:08
Speaker 1: So Sunday in baseball, Miami beats Toronto five to three.
31:12
No big deal, no big deal. You know, Toronto's in
31:15
the mix, of course, Miami is not. Tyler Phillips collected
31:19
his second save of the year. Okay, he threw thirty
31:21
two pitches. Now. He made his MLB debut with the
31:25
Phillies last year. He was a starter. His era was
31:29
six point eighty seven across eight appearance. Naturally, Philly said, well,
31:34
you're done. Phillips was inconsistent over the first part this year,
31:38
but he has found some momentum. Okay, So he posted
31:41
an five to ninety RA across eight appearances in July
31:45
and he's had a pretty good August two. So apparently
31:48
he felt even though he was a sixteenth round draft
31:52
choice in the twenty fifteen MLB draft, even though he
31:55
is not, you know, highly perceived, you know, perceived as
31:58
this great reliever or he signed with one hundred and
32:02
sixty thousand dollars signing bonus at that time coming out
32:06
of the State College of Florida Manatee. Sarah Hotbed of
32:11
Baseball that, yeah, Tyler Phillips apparently feels, you know, a
32:16
little that he could conduct an interview this way. So
32:20
they go down to the field reporter and this was
32:23
Tyler Phillips.
32:25
Speaker 31: All right, Jack, thank you very much. Tyle you through
32:27
thirty two pitches yesterday. When did you know you were
32:30
going in tonight? When they called down and you are
32:33
ready to go?
32:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm ready.
32:34
Speaker 1: I don't like hitters.
32:35
Speaker 31: How did you get through that ninth? How long does
32:39
it take? You to cool down.
32:40
Speaker 2: After a win.
32:41
Speaker 1: I never cooled down.
32:42
Speaker 31: Yeah, how important was it for your team to get
32:44
this win?
32:45
Speaker 28: Today?
32:45
Speaker 1: It's big.
32:46
Speaker 2: I mean everyone's big.
32:46
Speaker 1: That's why. I mean, it doesn't matter what the what
32:48
the record is. Everyone's big.
32:50
Speaker 9: That's what we're here for it to try to win
32:51
the game.
32:51
Speaker 1: At least John Rocker Junior, it's cool. I don't I
32:55
don't like hitters. I don't want to do this. I'm
32:57
not gonna I don't like hitters. Yeah, that's gonna be
33:00
the bumper sticker. I don't like hitters. I mean he should,
33:06
he should. Just you know, can you see him at
33:08
a restaurant? I want number four and I want mustard
33:10
on it and I want you know, I don't like hitters.
33:13
I don't like this restaurant, but I do like anyway.
33:15
I just it caught my It caught my eye. Today
33:18
tomorrow we were talking about decisions and things are gonna happen,
33:21
and I did the the the whole uh uh mac
33:25
Minette on you know, decisions and how or maybe it
33:28
was yesterday I talked about it everything runs together, but
33:30
talking about Keik and Bradley and how decisions go. Yeah,
33:33
it was yesterday. And so with all that being said,
33:36
so tomorrow at eleven o'clock is when Keegan's gonna make
33:38
his uh, you know, his captain's picks, which uh and
33:42
Keith and Bradley who was snubbed I think it was
33:44
just a year ago, No, I mean the last Ryder
33:47
Cup and when he got snubbed. You know, it's the
33:49
hardest call for any captain to make. Keegan had a
33:53
you know, a great year a couple of years ago
33:55
and he got snubbed to go play in Paris, and
33:58
so that means, okay, so now he's the captain. The
34:01
big decision is, and we talked about this yesterday, is
34:03
whether he's going to pick himself to be a playing captain.
34:06
Hasn't happens in sixty three. Anyway, his quolte was he
34:09
warned that a few guys that think they're going to
34:11
be on the team are not going to be, you know,
34:15
so and because when all the you know, these certain
34:17
players think okay, but you know, and it's one of
34:22
the hardest things to do. But anyway, eleven o'clock looking
34:24
forward to that, that'll be tomorrow and I'll be here. Yeah,
34:27
we are going to be joined by tomorrow, we are
34:30
going to be joined by Bud Foster for those around
34:33
the country wide, great great defensive coordinators really of all
34:37
time with Frank Beamer. Staff's been thirty eight years with Frank.
34:40
He played at Murray State with Frank. Yeah, and and
34:42
Frank put.
34:43
Speaker 7: A lot of guys into the We had a lot
34:45
of guys playing on Sunday and a lot of them
34:48
have yellow jackets now too.
34:50
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the great thing about and with the height,
34:52
the great thing about Bud is that and Joe talks
34:55
about it every morning. Graciously the lunch Paal Foundation, which
35:00
is the Lunch Pail Defense Foundation, which raises money for
35:02
scholarships for kids who are deserving who may not be
35:05
able to go to college. And Bud's foundation is ridiculously rich,
35:10
so many people get behind him, and so the lunch
35:12
pail has stayed in the forefront of a mantra that
35:17
used to be somebody on the defense got to carry
35:19
a lunch pail. It has win written on It became
35:22
our logo for the podcast and radio show. It became
35:25
what's important now?
35:27
Speaker 7: And you know so anyway, well, and the message to me,
35:30
the lunch pail has always been blue collar, you know
35:33
we're here collar.
35:34
Speaker 1: They would take grass, Yeah, they would take grass. And
35:37
if you heard Tom Sherman, Sherman says that that lunch
35:40
pail should be a truck with all the games that
35:42
Virginia Tech won on the road. And you know, Florida
35:44
State has a cemetery, you know with big wins, and
35:48
they plant the grass in the cemetery with a headstone
35:51
on a wind that you know, well that course hasn't
35:54
happened in a couple of years in Tallahassey, But I
35:56
mean it just it makes a lot of sense. So
35:58
Bud Buds Foundation has just some really smart people on it.
36:03
And someone reached out to bo Jangles. Like the Win
36:08
vodka that's being produced by the River City Distillery in Radford,
36:14
and they give a dollar for every bottle of this
36:17
vodka that's sold called Win Vodka, and it's got the
36:21
lunch pail on the label. Well, now bo Jangles is
36:24
putting together an oversized lunch pail box for a tailgate pack.
36:29
That money now goes to the foundation, and Bud's in
36:33
this great commercial where he's walking on the field and
36:36
the lunch pail was a big part of our foundation.
36:38
You know, the lunch pail was a big part of
36:40
what we did. And I'm so We've become such good friends.
36:45
From first meeting in four we've become such good friends
36:48
that I'm so happy for him. And I don't know
36:50
why the ACC network has not picked him up yet.
36:54
I still think they will. He's an assistant to where Babcock.
36:57
He raises money, but is the hope. But if you
37:01
walk around and I've done it the last two years,
37:03
if you walk around Blacksburg or the stadium with but hey,
37:08
but but.
37:11
Speaker 7: And part of Bud's thing was always identifying me. You know, sure, okay,
37:14
Bruce Smith helps you be a great defensive coordinator, but
37:18
you know you got to go find a Bruce Smith
37:19
and coach him up. And you know there's every high
37:22
school has a Bruce Smith on him, you know, at
37:25
some point or another.
37:27
Speaker 1: And if people missed the interview Saturday, it was Tom
37:29
Sherman who was asked by Terry Holland to interview Bud
37:32
for the head coaching job in two thousand when when
37:35
Al grow ended up getting a job, so they went
37:37
to Fredericksburg and Tom, you know, joked about it and
37:39
he goes, I wish they would have hired you. Who
37:42
knows what would have changed. It's a great story for anyway.
37:45
But I'll be here tomorrow. I'm excited about it. So
37:47
we don't do it often.
37:48
Speaker 7: College football previewed? Does he have a top ten? Play football?
37:52
That's exactly right, good stuff. Mac will talk to you
37:54
in the morning seeing the Morning Lunch Paildefense dot Org.
37:59
Speaker 21: By the way, Hi, it's Mark Falter, hosts of the
38:03
Financial Fitness Show. I strongly believe that no one should
38:07
ever pay one penny more in taxes than they are
38:10
legally obligated. Unfortunately, for most hard working Americans, this just
38:16
isn't the case. Why because most people spend more time
38:19
planning next weekends getaway than trying to ensure they're going
38:23
to pay less than taxes. My Financial Fitness team has
38:26
put together some materials that I know are going to
38:28
help you. It's the Tax Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit
38:31
includes three things, free tax analysis, top ten ways to
38:36
pay less than taxes, and an investor's guide to taxes.
38:40

Speaker 32: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine preventable diseases
40:37
than from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
40:42
the one for new macccle disease can protect adults from
40:44
illnesses that can cause mistays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
40:49
New macccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
40:53
or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
40:57
of an infection that can spread from person to person.
41:00
Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
41:04
I'm doctor Susan Reem of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
41:08
When I speak with my patients, I urge them to
41:10
get all their recommended vaccines. Now, I'm urging you to
41:14
speak with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
41:17

Speaker 7: Our friends from the Alzheimer's Association checking in with us
44:21
this morning, poigning for me today, Brooke Gil the folks
44:29
at alz dot org, and the walks getting closer September,
44:34
some of the early ones actually in August as well.
44:37
Speaker 1: But you know, Brooke, how are you this morning?
44:40
Speaker 25: I'm great? How are you?
44:42
Speaker 7: I'm in an interesting place and I you know, and
44:46
anyone who's you know, a semi habitual user of the
44:49
program knows that my mother in law is I mean,
44:52
she's about to trip the odometer with you know, three
44:56
digits and she's still and she's getting closer and closer
44:59
to one hundred years old and as healthy as a horse,
45:03
but has descended seriously into dementia. And my wife is
45:08
up caring for her right now. But she's been taking
45:11
her out Apparently she loves like race walking around grocery stores.
45:16
You give her a grocery cart and she's just off
45:18
like you know, a speed walker. And she's been having
45:23
great nights with her. And exer is exercise a big
45:29
part of you know, managing Alzheimer's from you know, what
45:33
you guys know at the Alzheimer's Association, because it really
45:36
seems like my wife getting my mother in law out,
45:40
even if it's just to the grocery store for an
45:42
hour of walking around the produce section with a shopping guard.
45:45
Even if they're not shopping, it seems to just brighten
45:49
her up. And and is it the blood flow?
45:52
Speaker 1: You tell me, it's a couple of things.
45:56
Speaker 25: So one thing is is that people with dementia, I
45:59
think sometimes we think we just set them in a
46:01
room and leave them alone. But you don't want to
46:03
do that. First of all, keeping them up and moving,
46:05
keep them socialized, making sure that they are getting nutrition
46:09
and stuff. That all helps the progression of this disease.
46:12
It may not fix it, but it will help slow
46:15
it down a bit. So keeping up those healthy habits
46:18
is good for them and throughout the process of the disease.
46:22
And you might have to adjust it according to what
46:24
they have the ability to do, but it's good for them.
46:27
Other pieces, they still want to feel like they have
46:31
tasks to do, they have things to do. They have
46:35
to get up and move and do things. So a
46:37
lot of times taking them out to the grocery store,
46:39
give them a grocery card, even if they just pretend
46:41
that they're grocery shopping, makes them feel like they have
46:44
something to accomplish, something to do, somewhere to go, and
46:49
that's important sometimes for people with dementia. You know, having
46:52
a routine, making sure that they stay active all helps
46:55
with their activity level, their sleep at night, making sure
46:59
they're actor during day so that it can sleep at night.
47:02
All those things are helpful with people with dementia.
47:04
Speaker 7: Well, you mentioned you know, it's interesting because that's very
47:07
much what my mother in law, you know, give her
47:09
some laundry to fold. Because you may not remember specifics,
47:13
but you remember you're supposed to be doing something. There's
47:16
this innate feeling like I should be doing something, even
47:20
if you don't you know, conceptualize who I am anymore,
47:24
you know that there's something you should be doing in it.
47:26
Speaker 1: And it seems like that's the case.
47:27
Speaker 4: Broke.
47:28
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. There.
47:30
Speaker 7: So, what's cooking at the Alzheimer's Association, and I know
47:33
we have walks coming up. You mentioned something about some
47:38
virtual stuff going on as well.
47:41
Speaker 25: Yeah, absolutely so, I mean we're just talking about basically
47:44
what we were just talking about was supporting kind of
47:46
independence in our person with dementia, and that is one
47:50
of the classes that we teach in our Empowered Caregiver series.
47:53
So every kind of fall, spring, summer, we're trying to
47:58
make sure that we have at least one a virtual
48:00
version of that empowerment series happening at least in our
48:04
chapter to make sure that people who can't maybe get
48:07
away from the home or or maybe they can do
48:10
it on their work lunch break can join us for
48:13
these sessions and learn about you know, how do I
48:15
keep my person independence possible? How do I let them
48:19
take a shower without me having to do everything for them?
48:22
What's things that they can do that I can maybe
48:25
assist them in doing, but not completely do it for
48:28
them so that they feel like they can stay active
48:30
and participating. And as a caregiver, it takes a little
48:35
bit off your plate too, that you don't have to
48:37
start from the very beginning doing everything for them. So
48:40
that's just one example of one of the caregiver family
48:43
caregiver education classes that we teach.
48:47
Speaker 7: An adresses and people can You don't have to be
48:50
in place for it. You can tune in and join
48:53
in virtually for it. You know, I look at my
48:57
mother in law and she's obviously regretting. I'm not sure
49:00
sure how Alzheimer's works, But it seems like you go
49:03
backwards in time and she's becoming more and more like
49:06
a young child. Uh and and even bordering on infancy
49:11
in some in some ways shapes and forms there.
49:14
Speaker 1: And I often wonder, you know, now, with.
49:16
Speaker 7: Our digital age, what are today's adults going to be
49:19
like as we start to if we start maybe you know, Knockwood,
49:22
we find a cure before then, you know, our digital age,
49:26
are we going to start looking for our PlayStation controllers?
49:29
Speaker 1: Are we going to have? You know, are we going
49:31
to need to.
49:31
Speaker 7: Make sure that our elder care facilities have things that
49:34
look like video games that were like where is my thing?
49:37
Where's where's my tablet? Where's my where's my video game?
49:42
Do you think about that?
49:44
Speaker 1: Ever?
49:46
Speaker 25: I did?
49:46
Speaker 26: Well?
49:46
Speaker 25: I always think about, you know, what is the music
49:48
they're going to be playing in nursing home when I'm
49:50
there right what kind of it's It may be Elvis
49:53
and stuff now, but you know who's who's my favorite band?
49:56
And who might be who might they be playing?
49:58
Speaker 1: I'm many without cats.
50:02
Speaker 25: You know, as generations come through, things change, but certainly
50:06
right now this disease is staying the same until we
50:09
find a cure, but we're working on it, and we
50:12
are showing progress and prevention with healthy living and habits
50:16
and things that we've talked about with our US Pointer study,
50:18
and hopefully, you know, we were working on bringing those
50:21
things to our community so they can be useful to
50:24
people actually in the community, so out of the lab
50:27
into people's lives.
50:28
Speaker 7: Well, and you mentioned we were talking about the walks
50:31
to end Alzheimer's. Some of them are starting very early.
50:33
What's the earliest one here in our flagship area of Virginia.
50:36
I know, I was just looking a where our friends
50:38
listening to kfar in Fairbanks. That's September twentieth, you know,
50:44
is September is a lot of them.
50:45
Speaker 1: October is a few of them. Are any starting in August?
50:50
Speaker 25: No, I don't think we've been in our area starting
50:52
in August. I think our earliest is Greata Augusta, and
50:55
that starts in September, late September, So that's our first year.
50:59
We go all the way through to November. First through
51:01
here you're a second sorry through in our chapter, but
51:03
there are chapters you've already started in August across our
51:07
national coverage. So if there's a walk nearby you. I
51:11
promise you that they are ready to get Oh yeah.
51:14

Augusta Walk as well, and some great if you've never been,
51:35

51:39
the space, and and also ways you can be involved
51:44

51:48
can find all of that going on there. We've got
51:51
our Treasure Coast of Luisia, Velusia November first, and then
51:58
