• 0:56
  Speaker 4: important local aspect of your radio station... I want to

  Speaker 4: know how it's impacting you where you are because everyone
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: else has experts. I have you. You know why I

  Speaker 4: them tell you otherwise. That smell you smell is the gaslighting.

  Speaker 4: the generation thereof are also so in favor of gaslighting
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: you into believing that all these things are causing your

  Speaker 4: on spending $ 4 million to bolster right-leaning media in Europe,

• 4:47
  Speaker 4: has issued a report saying the FBI's Catholic memo was

  Speaker 4: a grave failure and threatened First Amendment rights. The report
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: found agents relied on sweeping generalizations despite uncovering little evidence
• 5:01

  Speaker 8: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.

  Speaker 10: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  Speaker 10: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 10: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 10: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 11: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 11: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: but also their tireless work ethic.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Just look at the.
• 10:08
  Speaker 11: Birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 11: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:15
  Speaker 11: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:17
  Speaker 11: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 11: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:23
  Speaker 11: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:26
  Speaker 11: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 11: but because of their acute senses, they also perform lifesaving
• 10:33
  Speaker 11: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 11: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 11: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 11: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:44
  Speaker 11: trained roles that contribute to society.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: And help those in need.
• 10:47
  Speaker 11: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:50
  Speaker 11: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:53
  Speaker 11: planet we inhabit together. Go to americanhumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 12: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 13: And now a speech. I just want to say that
• 11:08
  Speaker 13: friendship is about heart. Heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 11: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 14: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 13: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 15: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:23
  Speaker 15: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28

• 11:31
  Speaker 16: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 16: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39

• 11:58
  Speaker 16: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a

  Speaker 17: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 17: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 17: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40

• 13:09
  Speaker 1: We have had right-wing shock jocks for years.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: See, there's a difference in the word. You hear right-wing,
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: you think conservative. And there's a difference. And I'm going
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: to pick this next. for a moment and then delve
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: into some of the things the president did yesterday afternoon
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: because they have friends of mine uptight about conservative principles
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: and giving money to Hollywood and people like that and
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: rightfully so and the concept that it's America not not
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Americans You know, I've made the case that over time,
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: conservatives wear down because of the zeal of the Alinsky left.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: Because eventually everybody needs something and it becomes easier to
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: get it from somebody who can collect money or the
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: people giving the money go to prison. See, it's hard
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: to ask somebody for money without the threat of going
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: to prison unless you give it to us. Add to
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: that the upside of being able to print your own anyway,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: and you see why it's good to be the king.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: And if you wonder what conservative means, not right-wing. Right-wing
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: is Nick Fuente's... left-wing is Hasan Piker, right-wing is Laura Loomer,
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: left-wing is the Young Turks. Not so much the Young Caicos,
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: but the Turks. Right-wing, left-wing is ideological. And if you
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: go back to the essence of conservatism, and conservatism Western
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: conservative thought begins with a fellow named Edmund Burke, not
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: even an American, an Irishman, representing Belfast, yes, that Belfast,
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: in the British House of Commons, back before the Troubles.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: And Edmund Burke received this document from the American colonies
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: called the Declaration of Independence, after which he read it
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: and said to his fellows in the House of Commons,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: I think this guy's got us buttoned up. I'm sorry,
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: I don't do a very good Irish accent, so I'm
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: not going to offend. And he tried at that moment
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: to defend gin up enough support to accept the American
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: colonies' demands to be allowed to be self-governing without sending
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: ships and guns because he said it was what was
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: right for the British culture, for the British civilization to
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: not fight this war. And in that moment, conservatism was
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: born because it was more important to Edmund Burke that
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: the British way of governing survive rather than just get
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: a momentary win for the king. That the British, especially
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: post Magna Carta, and we understand we're 625 years past
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: the enactment of Magna Carta. at this point. But he
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: said that because we have rule of law even over
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: the king, and impressed he was that Jefferson grasped the
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: fact that the king was bound by law. And from that,
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: some 200 years later, a fellow named Russell Kirk writes
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: a book called The Conservative Mind. And it's a series
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: of analyses of folks who look to conserve the Western civilization,
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: the civilization that gave us the Enlightenment and gave us
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: the advancements of science, the civilization that had allowed us,
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: as the Skousen fellow wrote, take that 5,000-year leap. What? No, Cousin's.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: The Freedom Fest people, they're cousins. Right. So, Russell Kirk
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: becomes sort of the standard bearer of what conservatism is.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Counselor to Presidents Reagan, even Bush I to a degree.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: And This was the 50s when he starts this idea
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: that there is a conservative principle at work. And the
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: thing is, and you can go to kirkcenter.org. It's the
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Russell Kirk Center. It's in Michigan. What is it with Michigan?
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, Michigan gives us Hillsdale College, the Kirk Center,
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: and yet Also, El-Sayed. Kirk's definition of conservatism is not
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: a political ideology, but actually the opposite. It's a, as
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: he puts it, a body of sentiments rooted in preservation
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: of the moral order, cultural continuity, and prudence. This is
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: why people like Martin Luther King Jr. and his very
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: clear statement live up to the words you wrote down
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: on paper. was a conservative thinker. He believed in the
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: United States and believed in what they wrote. It just
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: felt like people had forgotten or were too racist to
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: realize what their words actually meant and the beauty of them.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: and that if you lived up to the words you
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: wrote down on paper... Conservatism, as Russell Kirk argued, is
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: actually the negation of ideology. Conservatism is anti-ideology. Conservatism looks
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: at each instance and says, what preserves... the order of society.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: And that's why when you talk about Laura Loomer or
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Hassan Piker or all the political people that chase their clickbait,
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: you're looking at ideology. And I'm, yeah, sure. Okay, fine.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you this in a passive-aggressive way of claiming
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: that that's the moral high ground that this program exists on.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Because when we break down the stories of the day,
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: are there tax incentives for Hollywood? Yeah, I'd rather see
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: them go away. Are there aid programs that could go
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: to Russia? Sure, I'd like to see them examined more
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: thoroughly than just say, end the war and we'll start
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: sending you money again. And that is what Scott Besson said.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: The press isn't arguing that point because they claim that
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: in a half an hour's time on the evening news,
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: they don't have enough time to tell you all the nuance.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: But that is if you're wondering, boys and girls, what
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: conservatism is versus right-wingery or left-wingery for that matter. Hey,
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: I'm Brant, and her name is Sherry.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Hello.

  Speaker 19: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 19: for because of a surgery she just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 20: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  Speaker 20: talk about all the time, which is?

  Speaker 4: MediShare.
• 22:13
  Speaker 20: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 19: Yeah, so what was your experience like with MediShare and
• 22:17
  Speaker 19: the healthcare bill?
• 22:18
  Speaker 20: Honestly, Brant, seamless, and what a blessing that is. When
• 22:21
  Speaker 20: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
• 22:24
  Speaker 20: members shared my expenses, there were zero problems, and let
• 22:27
  Speaker 20: me tell you, Having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 20: call in with your need, that is just... It is refreshing. Yes,
• 22:34
  Speaker 20: that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 19: What I keep telling people, people love MediShare, and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 19: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 20: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different,
• 22:46
  Speaker 20: and I mean different in a very, very good way.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: It is good different. Call now.

• 23:07
  Speaker 5: intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver better
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that speed up diagnoses
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports veterinary teams
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease, and even streamline
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: record keeping so veterinarians can focus more on patients. But
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: as with any new technology, always keep a human in
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.

  Speaker 8: I'm Dr.

  Speaker 8: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,

  Speaker 2: the second most famous Thomas in Charlottesville.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: There's something wrong with the world today.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it is. Something's wrong with our eyes.
• 28:31

  Speaker 4: the day, you can share how it's impacting you where

  Speaker 4: you are. And there are stories today is just overwhelming
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: with some of them. $ 4 million aid program to bolster media,
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: conservative media in Europe. And understand, conservatism in Europe, any
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: European country, is different than it is in the United States.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: And the danger, and I'm going to pass this along
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: knowing full well that there are family members of President
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: Trump that own a winery in our flagship area, just saying.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: if anyone can get a message through. The warning here
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: is the more far away you are from someone, the
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: less likely you are to know their whole scheme. And
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: I say this as somebody who was confronted with a
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: group that insisted their name was... Unite the right. You
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: may remember the riots in Charlottesville in 2017, and these
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: folks were insisting that they were the right wing.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: We have had right wing shock jocks for years.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: Not conservative, but because the media is sloppy, they said
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: the right wing equals conservative. It's like we're taking some
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: SAT test. right-wing is to conservative as communist is to.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: And I remember meeting with these folks because I had
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: never heard of them before. And I thought of myself
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: as a conservative leader in my community. I'm like, how
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: did I not know about these folks? And then I
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: met them and I realized why I had never heard
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: of them before is because they had just been invented.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: And their ambition was to create a dumpster fire to
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: make themselves popular. They were the prehistoric versions of either
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: Hasan Piker or Nick Fuentes, you choose. They weren't looking
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: to do anything more than to gain notoriety. There's another
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: song lyric from somewhere, notoriety got all mixed up with fame.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: So I went about my business trying to tell my
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: listener that they shouldn't fall prey to this stuff. that
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: if change needs to be happening, it's going to need
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: to be change within the rule of law, not the
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: rule of riot. But a lot of people were caught
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: up in the fact that they used the phrase right,
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: so therefore they must be conservative, and if I'm conservative,
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: ipso facto into it, I must therefore support them. I
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: didn't fall prey to it because I got to know them,
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: but the danger of President Trump sending this money to
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: European conservatives is you're going to wind up giving money
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: to people whose message is going to blow up in
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: your face. So don't do it. I know you're just
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: planning on doing it. And I don't want to get
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: the emails from Youngstown, Ohio. And believe me, I appreciate
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: you guys listening. And I get why, you know, my
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: 1570 is burning up with people saying, hold on a
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: second here. Didn't you guys rail when? Yeah, I did.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: And I will again. When Barack Obama and Joe Biden
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: did the same thing in Ukraine? You may have heard
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: of Ukraine, right? It's this little area, it's along the
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: water and it's got some seaports and some natural minerals
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: and things like that. There's a war going on there.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: You might have heard. It used to be in all
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: the papers. We're busy with other stuff now, so we
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: hardly talk about it anymore. But the Obama administration didn't
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: even send money to the media. They sent money to
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: secret policemen's balls and said, here, we want you to
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: just Disenfranchise entire residents. You know, these are the same people.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: Do we have the Spanberger clip still from yesterday? These
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: are the same people who now will tell you voting
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: is a God-given right to anyone who's here at the moment.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh yeah. Abigail Spanberger at the march to
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: make Martin Luther King's corpse spin in his grave. march
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: to make Al Sharpton relevant again, the very agenda that
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: diminishes the power of the black vote, they're standing and saying,
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: the vote is the most important thing for people who
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: are in our community to be able to cast. Oh,
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: interesting how you avoided the word citizen. However, In Ukraine,
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: entire groups of citizens were not allowed to vote in
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: the presidential election that preceded the ascension of a late-night
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: TV host named Volodymyr Zelensky. So be careful with this.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: I don't think if there's a conservative movement in Europe,
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: they should be able to do their own business. Somewhere
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: Al Franken is sitting there saying, see, I told you.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: And part of my consult against this is because it
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: makes the case for nut clusters like Al Franken, who's
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: never been funny, even when he was a writer for
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: Saturday Night Live, he and his partner Davis would come
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: out and that would be your signal to go get
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: another beer from the fridge because the commercials were more
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: entertaining than the Franken and Davis show. I think the
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: Franken and Davis show in the late 70s invented the
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: word cringe. But Al Franken's argument all the time when
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: he was creating Air America, not the movie with Robert
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: Downey Jr. and Mel Gibson, but the radio network was
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: that we needed to come up with a an opposition
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: voice to Rush Limbaugh and Joe Thomas and all these
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: conservo fascists who were obviously just being propped up by
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: the Reaganites and the Bushies and all these folks. I've
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: never gotten any money from them. I can't speak for Rush,
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: but we were popular because people who wanted to hear
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: their local news on their radios generally were politically conservative.
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: So those of us who analyzed the news in a
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: conservative way, had conversations about film and sports in a conservative,
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: through a conservative prism, were successful. We had more listeners,
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: so radio stations put more of us on because more
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: people liked it. But not to Al Franken. Al Franken
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: said there must be some secret cabal that's just buying
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: up all this airtime. Well, because of the way the
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: media is characterizing this $ 4 million grant program within $ 25
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: million for civil society groups, I will tell you first
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: and foremost, save the $ 25 million. I know it sounds
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: like a drop in the bucket when we're $ 40 trillion
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: in debt, but this is $ 25 million we don't need
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: to spend. Say nice things about them on your social
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: media platform. Guess what? It will do as much for
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: a conservative cause in Greece or Germany or France if
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: you post on Truth Social that you really like this guy.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: Have them up to the White House. It happened with
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: Jerry Adams. Bill Clinton basically brought peace to the troubles
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: between the IRA and the British government by weighing in
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: And sitting down with Jerry Adams, Jerry Shin Feinfeld, as
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: I like to call him. But what is it with
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: the Protestants? Anyway, so beware this stuff.
• 38:02
  Speaker 21: Hi, it's Mark Falter, host of the Financial Fitness Show.
• 38:05
  Speaker 21: I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
• 38:08
  Speaker 21: penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately
• 38:13
  Speaker 21: for most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case.
• 38:16
  Speaker 14: Why?
• 38:16
  Speaker 21: Because most people spend more time planning next weekend's getaway
• 38:21
  Speaker 21: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less in taxes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 21: My financial fitness team has put together some materials that
• 38:27
  Speaker 21: I know are going to help you. It's the tax
• 38:29
  Speaker 21: savings kit. Tax savings kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
• 38:35
  Speaker 21: top 10 ways to pay less in taxes, and an
• 38:38
  Speaker 21: investor's guide to taxes.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: Now, how do you get it? Simple. 866-764-2635.

  Speaker 13: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 13: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 13: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes! Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 13: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your

• 40:25
  Speaker 13: have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:27
  Speaker 19: Shh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 13: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:38
  Speaker 13: And with every item you buy, you fund local job
• 40:41
  Speaker 13: training and more. So go forth... Bring home those donut

  Speaker 13: earrings and bring home so much good to your community. Goodwill.
• 40:54
  Speaker 13: Bring good home.
• 40:57
  Speaker 24: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 24: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 24: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 24: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 24: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 24: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 24: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 24: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 24: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 24: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41

  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 22: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  Speaker 22: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42
  Speaker 22: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

  Speaker 9: Overtime Saturday night at Daytona to win the Coke Zero.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: So the conviction came down in the Tupac case. And,
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: you know, at some point, you know, there's that feeling of, OK.
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: So Dwayne Davis has been found guilty. First degree murder.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: And there was it's hard to culturally depict fairly the
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: the battle between East Coast, West Coast, Tupac, Biggie. And
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to try to because the Caucasian continues
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: to ooze out of your radio right now. But understanding
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: it culturally, whether you listen to the music or not,
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: is about the tearing apart of the urban life and
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: what Jefferson warned us about big cities in the first place.
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: And it's why capitalism only works when there's morality in
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: the same way democracy or freedom only works if there's morality.
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: Because the rap industry was born of capitalism. Because popularity
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: amongst people speaking to their... If you were listening last
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: year when we were at Freedom Fest, we flew into
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: Ontario Airport outside of Los Angeles. And we were walking
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: over to the shuttle bus to take us to Arizona
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: to pick up our rental car, what it felt like anyway.
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: And while we were waiting at the shuttle bus stop,
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: a fellow drove by. And the rap song that he
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: was talking about was about how the government had failed
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: his community. The language was saltier. But I looked at
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: my wife and said, I agree with that song 100%.
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: We should tap into the zeitgeist that has written that song,
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: that has caused that song to be popular. This guy
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: was driving by and he was blasting this song about
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: how the government and their promises had failed his community.
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: So these are the things that conservatives should be going
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: into and saying, yes, yes, we've been saying this all along.
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: So there's always going to be a musical style that
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: taps into the vox populi, and you can't ignore it.
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: But what wound up happening is that the success of
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: rap music started to become harder and harder to figure out,
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: so it became more about the personality and not about
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: the listener. It's just, where's the clip of Laura, whatever
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: her face is, from CNN? The difference between a conservative
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: talk show host and And what did she call us?
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: We have had right-wing shock jocks for years.
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: There's conservative analysts who work in the radio and shock jocks.
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: There are artists who write songs like this one I
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: heard about government failing the inner city through their promises
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: of utopia. And the gun battles, East Coast, West Coast, and,
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: you know, I can't listen because you're... Then don't. But
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: the battles became gunfights. And the death of one of
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: your rivals, because they were being convinced by leftists in
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: their community... That if somebody was buying Biggie's new CD,
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: that was money they weren't selling or spending on two packs.
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: It's the same global economic mind that drives the World
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: Economic Forum. If you have a dollar, it's because you've
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: stolen it as the birthright of someone else. You've exploited
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: someone else to get your money. It's really there. You
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: should be just giving away whatever it is you do
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: for the grace of being able to say, I gave
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: it away. And I know a lot of folks, you know,
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: especially the Zoomer boomers who were out there, sit there
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: and they'd look down their nose because, well, you know,
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: at Yazgir's Farm, this sort of thing, it was all
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: about love. Did you ever see the list? It was
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: just published somewhere. I think Rolling Stone, somebody had the
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: price list for the acts and who made what at Woodstock.
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: You do understand that the who got paid The Grateful
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: Dead got paid for playing Woodstock. It was maybe two
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: weeks ago. And it stunned me how little The Grateful
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: Dead got paid. Jimi Hendrix was paid $ 18, 000. $ 18, 000. CCR, $ 15, 000.
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: The Who, $ 10, 000. Joe Cocker made $ 1, 300. Now, he probably
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: made a lot more because he became wildly famous from that.
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: Bob Dylan got $ 10, 000.
• 51:03
  Speaker 8: $ 10, 000.
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: Grateful Dead, I think, got $ 10, 000 for appearing at Woodstock. Oh, sure,
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: you thought it was free, but this is why Michael
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: Lang left Bethel, New York, without paying his tab, because
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: half the crowd broke through the gates and got the
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: concert for free. The bands had to be paid. The
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: bands had to be paid, so they paid the bands
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: and skipped out on paying for all the police and
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: everyone else that had to be there. So the idea
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: that there's commerce in music, don't look down your nose, boomers,
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: at Tupac and his murder, which there was a culmination
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: of the trial now, and there's a But this is
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: what happens when the leftist agenda of mercantilism, that there's
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: a finite amount of money, and that if you have some,
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: then you've wrested it from some other more worthy person
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: than you. It's a lie, and it's also a lie
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: that winds up.
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: Costing people their lives at the end of the day
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: because they believe it and they start killing people. Well, yeah,
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: but first you have to make it.
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: You have.
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: To earn them and then you can give them away.
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: Live like no one else.
• 52:51
  Speaker 26: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:54
  Speaker 26: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: was no hassles. There was no problem.
• 53:02
  Speaker 26: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:05
  Speaker 26: of such an incredible ministry.

  Speaker 12: With you through the hardest times of your life. MediShare

  Speaker 12: isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old.
• 53:25
  Speaker 12: and members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
• 53:27
  Speaker 12: medical bills.
• 53:28
  Speaker 24: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: You can focus in on supporting other people.
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: MediShare is affordable.
• 53:35
