  Speaker 1: We've cut the cost of radio listening by, hell, it
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: didn't cost anything in the first place. So let's say.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: $ 1 million.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: And call it even. First Thing Today by Joe Thomas

• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Joe works at.
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: A steel mill.
• 0:21
  Speaker 5: He's down here every day.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:26
  Speaker 6: Drops the kids to school and on the way.
• 0:29
  Speaker 7: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:34
  Speaker 8: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: He only aims to please you.
• 0:40
  Speaker 9: Let me be your Joe.
• 0:42
  Speaker 7: Bless you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:44
  Speaker 7: this morning.
• 0:45
  Speaker 10: I want to be your Joe.
• 0:48
  Speaker 7: You know what we do here. I tell you what
• 0:50
  Speaker 7: went on last night. I will certainly tell you. Just
• 0:54
  Speaker 7: try and stop me when I try to tell you
• 0:56
  Speaker 7: what my analysis of it is or concerns. And after
• 1:01
  Speaker 7: all that's said and done, the dust settles. I want
• 1:03
  Speaker 7: to hear about how it's impacting you, where you are.
• 1:08
  Speaker 7: Thank you, Kareem. That story is on the docket. Our
• 1:11
  Speaker 7: friends from the Family Foundation are coming up. And yes,
• 1:14
  Speaker 7: we're going to talk about the two-year-old that was killed
• 1:18
  Speaker 7: in the Netherlands because the family decided he was not
• 1:22
  Speaker 7: getting better from, I guess, they're claiming brain damage there.
• 1:29
  Speaker 7: He was not old enough to espouse any conservative beliefs,
• 1:32
  Speaker 7: so I don't know what the whole story is, but
• 1:35
  Speaker 7: it's in all the networks. We'll get into it. Our
• 1:38
  Speaker 7: friends from the Family Foundation trying to mount with a
• 1:41
  Speaker 7: couple of matchsticks and a bottle opener a campaign against
• 1:46
  Speaker 7: $ 3 million worth of out-of-state George Soros-trafficked, Act Blue-laundered money
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: against the lives of the unborn. And the due process.
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: And I think this goes back to something Blair pointed out.
• 2:04
  Speaker 7: What is due process? And the Democrats, along with being
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: endorsed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps yesterday, Democrats also
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: say they're against due process. They view due process as
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: an undue burden. Of course, what they want is right.
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: They're Democrats. You all voted for us. That's the premise.
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: It's not that they're ideas, but you all voted for me,
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: so therefore I have a mandate. And by you all,
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: I mean 51% of the 25% that turned out to vote.
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: And don't think that number is low. There will be
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: locales in this midterm election where voter turnout is somewhere
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: in the 30%, maybe 35 percentile. It's a shame and
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: it's sad and it It's going to lead to bad outcomes,
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: but it's real and you better brace for it because
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: it's coming. But our first things this morning. Pete Hegseth
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: dominating with a story that seven or eight that grow
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: out of his state of the force address to the
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: Marines and other soldiers and sailors at Quantico. Yesterday, it's
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: a second State of the Force address. None had ever
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: been delivered by the Secretary of War before. Six initiatives
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: were announced intended to, quote, govern the department's direction for
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: years to come. Amongst them include an Autonomous Warfare Command,
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: or Auto War Carm, development to not only accelerate the
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: development and deployment of autonomous and robotic systems through the military,
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: but establish a hierarchy in which those will be deployed.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: Pentagon officials also said that cuts will be made, as
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: Pete Hegseth has ordered, 800 flag and general officer positions
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: will be eliminated by January 1st, coming to a complete
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: 20% decrease in those positions. And Pete Hegseth announced that
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: Elon Musk, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, and Andril Industries founder
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: Palmer Luckey will co-lead an initiative to study the future
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: of warfare and forecast the solution of tomorrow's conflicts. Among
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: them is a project called Meridian, which will be tasked
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: with identifying capabilities required to achieve, quote, absolute technological dominance
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: on the next generation battlefield. The last generation's battlefield has
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: been cleared. The 12-year mission in Iraq is over as
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: the U.S. military left behind several piles of equipment, much
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: of it being reported on as if we abandoned it
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: at an entire Air Force base like we did in Afghanistan.
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: But truth be told, much of it was left with
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: trained members of the Islamic State forces. who now govern
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: the country. Story that made national headlines out of the D.C.
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: suburbs yesterday, the workplace shooting at a United Rentals came
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: to a tragic conclusion, an extra tragic conclusion, not a
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: mile or two from the broadcast studios of this program,
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: as Marvin Grant, 37-year-old assailant from Charlotte, North Carolina, was
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: fleeing the The scene of the United Rentals shooting where
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: he killed two and grievously wounded another when he was
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: confronted by Virginia State troopers just outside of Stanton, Virginia,
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: on Interstate 81, where he took his own life before
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: Virginia State police could figure out his motives. They are
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: still investigating. Awkward silence. Yes, awkward silence brought to you by,
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: I thought there was going to be something in here
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: about our friends at the Lunch Pail Foundation. No, it's
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: not so much. Well, how about I do that? Mac

  Speaker 7: McDonald's sports reports are brought to you by the Lunch

  Speaker 7: to The team would write the word win on the
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: lunch pail for the obvious football reasons, but it has
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: come to stand for what's important now. On a football field,
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: it means the next play. In school, it means getting
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: a scholarship.
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: For veterans concerned about their alcohol or drug use, seeking
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: help can be the first step toward recovery.

  Speaker 2: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
• 8:51

• 9:05
  Speaker 11: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 11: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 11: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:17
  Speaker 11: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21

  Speaker 11: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,

• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: I'm Jack Hanna.
• 10:00
  Speaker 12: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
• 10:01
  Speaker 12: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
• 10:05
  Speaker 12: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
• 10:07
  Speaker 12: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
• 10:10
  Speaker 12: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes.
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: Who work hard to provide for their young.
• 10:14
  Speaker 12: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 10:17
  Speaker 12: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 10:20
  Speaker 12: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 10:23
  Speaker 12: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
• 10:25
  Speaker 12: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
• 10:29
  Speaker 12: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 10:32
  Speaker 12: they also perform life-saving work every day. Dogs keep us
• 10:35
  Speaker 12: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 10:38
  Speaker 12: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 10:41
  Speaker 12: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 10:44
  Speaker 12: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
• 10:46
  Speaker 12: and help those in need. So please join me and
• 10:49
  Speaker 12: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
• 10:52
  Speaker 12: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go

  Speaker 13: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 14: Oh, yeah?
• 11:01
  Speaker 15: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 16: And now a speech. I just want to say that
• 11:08
  Speaker 16: friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 10: somebody call me a ride. Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 16: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:26
  Speaker 14: Boop!
• 11:29
  Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 17: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 17: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 17: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 17: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 17: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:51
  Speaker 17: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:54
  Speaker 17: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:58
  Speaker 17: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:00
  Speaker 17: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 17: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:08
  Speaker 17: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 17: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:14
  Speaker 17: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18

• 12:29
  Speaker 18: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 18: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 18: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  Speaker 18: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:44
  Speaker 18: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:49
  Speaker 18: at maketheconnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
• 12:53
  Speaker 18: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.

  Speaker 1: We didn't make talk radio. We made it better. First
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: Have you ever heard the expression Pandora's box? And it's
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: not where you get some jewelry. I know that there
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: are modern parlances about it. But what it's about is
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: opening up society to things that it doesn't know how
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: to handle or isn't prepared for. I think the phrase
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: has been bandied about a little bit in all this
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: discussion about artificial intelligence. But we're going to talk a
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: little bit about the organic kind of intelligence. Our friends
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: from the Family Foundation are battling in a way that
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: probably is only equitable to the George Washington's army fighting
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: the amassed armies of King George III. Three million dollars
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: plus in the war chest of the abortionists. And like
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: a couple of bucks and some paper clips in the
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: coffers of the grassroots. Yet they keep asking for more
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: money from the abortion lobby because they know that all
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: the king's horses and all the king's dollars don't change
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: what really is going.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: On in the world.
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: And it's a true testament to the grassroots. Dr. Christina
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: Francis is on with us. She is one of about
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: 200 medical professionals that will be holding an event with
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: the Family Foundation today. on Friday at Richmond's Capitol building
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: there in the heart of the General Assembly. Dr. Francis,
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: thank you for taking some time out with us this morning.
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: And moreover, thank you for fighting for our unborn kids
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: and their due process.
• 15:23
  Speaker 15: Absolutely. Thanks so much for having me on, Joe.
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: So we were just talking about this story, horrific story
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: out of the Netherlands, obviously different constitutions there, different beliefs
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: on you know, who is a citizen and who has
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: the defense of the government, but a two-year-old. And I
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: bring this up simply because we've spent a lot of
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: time talking about the unintended consequences, that Pandora's box that's
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: going to be open with the constitutional amendments and the
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: ambiguity in them over the ability to end another human
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: life as a form and function of government and medicine.
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: The two-year-old child, I guess the doctor determined they were
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: severely mentally ill, and so they killed him, euthanized him,
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: or as one of my listeners called it, retroactively aborted him. Dr. Francis,
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: isn't this exactly everything we were warning about happening in
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: through the course of decades of discussing abortion law.
• 16:33
  Speaker 15: Yeah, well, you know, I think that slippery slope argument
• 16:37
  Speaker 15: is often.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Doctor? Doctor?
• 16:44
  Speaker 15: Can you hear me?
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm sorry. You said it is often, and then
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: you were gone. It was like somebody planned it.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, sorry about that.
• 16:53
  Speaker 17: It is often.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no.
• 16:55
  Speaker 15: That's right. That slippery slope argument oftentimes does come true.
• 16:59
  Speaker 15: And as you stated, you know, policies that maybe people
• 17:03
  Speaker 15: think are very limited oftentimes.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, dear.
• 17:11
  Speaker 15: Oh, dear.
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: This is not good. She's important. We're going to tell
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: you what.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Is she back?
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: I'm just going to call her right back on, on
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: her line. Um, see if we can't get a better
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: connection there because it's just not good. Uh, this morning,
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: it almost intentional. It would be like, huh? Well, there's
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: a conversation we don't want everyone hearing. I know it's
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: not conspiracy theory. It's pattern recognition, recognition. Uh, Dr. Francis,
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: are you back with us?
• 17:45
  Speaker 15: I am. Can you hear me this way?
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah. We just, uh, Sometimes just things don't work. You know,
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: our technology has become so good there. So, again, we
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: were talking about the slippery slope that we wind up
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: going on and we wind up in positions where I
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: just don't think we're capable of realizing the ramifications of
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: what we're doing.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 18:09
  Speaker 15: Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, and I was starting to say, just
• 18:13
  Speaker 15: as a little bit of background to understand where I'm
• 18:15
  Speaker 15: coming from, I'm a board certified OBGYN and have taken
• 18:19
  Speaker 15: care of women and their babies for over 20 years
• 18:22
  Speaker 15: now and also lead the American Association of Pro-Life OBGYNs.
• 18:27
  Speaker 15: And we have helped support a group, as you said,
• 18:31
  Speaker 15: of nearly 200 women. physicians and other medical professionals in
• 18:35
  Speaker 15: Virginia come together to form the Virginia Medical Professionals for
• 18:38
  Speaker 15: Women's Safety, who are talking about this potential slippery slope
• 18:44
  Speaker 15: and really expansive and dangerous constitutional amendment that is on
• 18:49
  Speaker 15: the ballot here in Virginia in November. And as you said,
• 18:54
  Speaker 15: you know, I think much like euthanasia laws in some
• 18:58
  Speaker 15: states here in this country, as well as in countries
• 19:01
  Speaker 15: like the Netherlands, They're worded very vaguely and people think, oh,
• 19:05
  Speaker 15: there's a limited scope of this, you know, that it's
• 19:08
  Speaker 15: going to be limited only to the most extreme circumstances.
• 19:12
  Speaker 15: But what we see in practice then is that it
• 19:14
  Speaker 15: becomes very expansive, as you mentioned, that even a two-year-old
• 19:17
  Speaker 15: could be killed. which, of course, is horrendous and not
• 19:20
  Speaker 15: consistent with good health care at all. And that's exactly
• 19:23
  Speaker 15: what's going on with this proposed constitutional amendment here in Virginia,
• 19:28
  Speaker 15: where the wording is so it just seems so common sense,
• 19:33
  Speaker 15: I think, to many people. And it seems very limited.
• 19:37
  Speaker 15: You know, they use things like protecting the freedom for
• 19:40
  Speaker 15: people to make personal decisions and protecting doctors and nurses
• 19:44
  Speaker 15: from being punished for taking care of patients. But what
• 19:48
  Speaker 15: we know is that that actually will lead to abortion
• 19:53
  Speaker 15: for any reason, essentially, through all nine months of pregnancy.
• 19:56
  Speaker 15: And it will lead to doctors and other even unlicensed
• 20:02
  Speaker 15: people doing abortions who cause severe harm to women being
• 20:06
  Speaker 15: protected from any repercussions whatsoever.
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: Meanwhile, and I see it the other direction, Dr. Francis,
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: I'd like your thought on this. It criminalizes the idea
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: of crisis pregnancy centers. So if a girl comes in
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: and says, I want an abortion, and somebody says, have
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: you thought this through? bam, you're in violation of medical
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: law in Virginia for even suggesting that there are alternatives
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: in these cases.
• 20:33
  Speaker 15: Yeah, well, you know, and this is something that I
• 20:35
  Speaker 15: think is really important to point out because that wouldn't
• 20:38
  Speaker 15: necessarily be apparent to people right away. But one of
• 20:42
  Speaker 15: the provisions, exactly, one of the provisions in this amendment
• 20:45
  Speaker 15: is that an individual's right to reproductive freedom, which it's
• 20:50
  Speaker 15: very important that it says individual because that could even
• 20:53
  Speaker 15: apply to a minor. So a young girl, her quote-unquote
• 20:57
  Speaker 15: right to, you know, again, reproductive freedom or abortion is,
• 21:02
  Speaker 15: cannot be directly or indirectly denied, burdened, or infringed upon.
• 21:07
  Speaker 15: And that's really the key language. So anyone that says
• 21:11
  Speaker 15: to her, as you said, if she goes to a
• 21:12
  Speaker 15: pregnancy center and the pregnancy center says, let's take a minute,
• 21:16
  Speaker 15: let's talk through this. You know, I want to make
• 21:18
  Speaker 15: sure you really understand and have you thought about alternatives
• 21:21
  Speaker 15: to abortion? under this new law, if this is adopted
• 21:25
  Speaker 15: into the state constitution, theoretically, a prosecutor in Virginia could
• 21:30
  Speaker 15: go after a pregnancy center by saying, you've infringed or
• 21:33
  Speaker 15: delayed her decision to have an abortion. And so because
• 21:37
  Speaker 15: of that, then we can come after you. And people
• 21:41
  Speaker 15: might think that we're fear-mongering when we say things like this,
• 21:45
  Speaker 15: but I would say the benefit that voters in Virginia
• 21:48
  Speaker 15: have is this is not theoretical anymore. We've seen what's
• 21:51
  Speaker 15: happened in other states. that have adopted very similar constitutional
• 21:57
  Speaker 15: amendments where.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Dr.

  Speaker 7: Frazes, hang on to that thought a second.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

  Speaker 2: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any

  Speaker 2: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in

  Speaker 3: Oh yeah?

  Speaker 15: Yeah, he's starting with the woots. And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 16: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.

  Speaker 4: Who's with me?

• 26:30
  Speaker 17: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 17: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:36
  Speaker 17: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 17: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:46
  Speaker 17: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:49
  Speaker 17: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:53
  Speaker 17: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:55
  Speaker 17: new appliance. Look for the ENERGY STAR logo and read
• 26:59
  Speaker 17: the ENERGY GUIDE label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:02
  Speaker 17: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  Speaker 17: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in
• 27:08
  Speaker 17: use and keep air filters clean. For more tips on

  Speaker 1: Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: Visiting with Dr. Christina Francis, part of an event going
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: on with The Family Foundation, who's really, this is David
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: versus Goliath when it comes to abortion and the abortionists,
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: the constitutional amendments coming soon to a state near you.
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: You were mentioning in the last segment, Dr. Francis, how
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: many other states have adopted things like this. And I
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: think more to come. in the years and months to follow.
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: I know you're not a politician, you're an OBGYN dedicated to,
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: talk about the other OBGYNs before we go too much further,
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: you know, that are part of this, because you're the
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: ones who have been sworn to, you know, care for
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: your patient. You know, and I remember all three of
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: my kids, it's two patients really you're caring for, aren't you?
• 29:29
  Speaker 17: Yeah, absolutely.
• 29:30
  Speaker 15: In fact, that's one of our mottos at APLOG is
• 29:33
  Speaker 15: that when we're caring for pregnant women, we're taking care
• 29:35
  Speaker 15: of two patients at once. And our responsibility is to
• 29:39
  Speaker 15: both of those patients. And we do that and we
• 29:42
  Speaker 15: do it well without needing to intentionally end the life
• 29:46
  Speaker 15: of our pre-born patients, our fetal patients. Yeah, we are
• 29:50
  Speaker 15: so happy. As you mentioned, our Virginia coalition has nearly
• 29:54
  Speaker 15: 200 medical professionals. And on Friday, we are hosting a
• 30:00
  Speaker 15: press conference, as you said, at the General Assembly. And
• 30:03
  Speaker 15: people will be able to hear from two maternal fetal
• 30:06
  Speaker 15: medicine specialists. So these are doctors that care for high-risk
• 30:10
  Speaker 15: pregnancies day in and day out. So if anybody was
• 30:13
  Speaker 15: going to get up there and say that this constitutional
• 30:15
  Speaker 15: amendment was was medically necessary, it would be them. But
• 30:18
  Speaker 15: in fact, what they're going to say is, no, this
• 30:20
  Speaker 15: is not medically necessary and it's dangerous for our patients.
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: What time is this going on? And I know the
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: Family Foundation has a very good Facebook page and they've
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: web streamed a lot of things for those who are
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: just trying to steal to this before it hits them
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: in their states. Dr. Francis, do you know either of those? Yeah.
• 30:41
  Speaker 15: Yes, absolutely. So the press conference will start at 11 a.m.
• 30:44
  Speaker 15: Eastern Time, and it will actually be live streamed on
• 30:49
  Speaker 15: APLOG Action's Twitter page. So it's A-A-P-L-O-G Action, and there
• 30:56
  Speaker 15: will be a live stream available at 11 a.m. And
• 30:58
  Speaker 15: I do encourage, you know, people in other states could listen,
• 31:01
  Speaker 15: but I especially encourage listeners. people who are going to
• 31:03
  Speaker 15: be voting in the state of Virginia to tune into
• 31:06
  Speaker 15: that so that they can hear the medical realities, not
• 31:09
  Speaker 15: only so that they know to vote no, but so
• 31:11
  Speaker 15: that they can talk about these issues with their friends
• 31:13
  Speaker 15: and family here in Virginia.
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: So I want to go back to that point you
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: were making. I just had to run a moment there.
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: So go back to what you're saying about other states
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: have already done this. It's not theory. It's not, well,
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: could this happen or not? if you get the right
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: series of events, talk about what you were just saying
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: about this already being something that happens around the country.
• 31:41
  Speaker 15: Yeah, absolutely. Well, so Virginia's, this proposed constitutional amendment was
• 31:46
  Speaker 15: written by the same national groups that are writing these
• 31:49
  Speaker 15: amendments for other states. And we've seen states like Missouri, Michigan, Ohio,
• 31:55
  Speaker 15: that have passed these constitutional amendments and shrined abortion through
• 31:58
  Speaker 15: all nine months of pregnancy with no You know, no
• 32:02
  Speaker 15: ability to block that in their state constitution. And what
• 32:05
  Speaker 15: we've seen is as soon as that's adopted into the constitution,
• 32:09
  Speaker 15: pro-abortion groups have come in and sued the state over
• 32:12
  Speaker 15: every single one of their safety provisions, even common sense
• 32:16
  Speaker 15: safety regulations, you know, things that require abortion facilities to
• 32:20
  Speaker 15: be inspected and be held to the same standards as
• 32:23
  Speaker 15: other outpatient medical facilities.
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: Shocking stuff.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: So is there another aspect of this interfering portion of this?
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: And by the way, if you read what's on the ballot,
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: it really bears little resemblance to all this stuff that
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: is in this amendment to— and a listener brought this up— it' s
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: an amendment to Virginia's Constitution— in the due process clause.
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: And I think that's important because I think they're admitting
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: that this life deserves due process. So we must amend
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: the due process law to keep this life from getting
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: due process in its defense. But also it could, you know,
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: if you told a parent that some 15 year old
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: came to the school nurse and said, I need some Mifepristone,
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: if the parent is informed, That school nurse goes to
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: jail under this.
• 33:25
  Speaker 15: Well, you know, again, I think anything is possible because
• 33:29
  Speaker 15: of how protected anyone who aids or assists someone in
• 33:35
  Speaker 15: obtaining an abortion becomes under this new, if this is
• 33:40
  Speaker 15: adopted into the Constitution. And so, you know, yes, school
• 33:43
  Speaker 15: nurses who maybe do this without a parent's knowledge or
• 33:48
  Speaker 15: maybe tell a parent, then they could come under legal penalty.
• 33:53
  Speaker 15: Or if they do it without the parents' knowledge, they
• 33:56
  Speaker 15: would be protected, you know, if they assist a minor
• 33:59
  Speaker 15: in obtaining an abortion or potentially an abuser who, you know,
• 34:04
  Speaker 15: quote unquote, assist someone in getting an abortion could potentially
• 34:07
  Speaker 15: be protected. So this is very dangerous, you know, and
• 34:11
  Speaker 15: I think the important thing to point out, too, is that.
• 34:14
  Speaker 15: regardless of where someone stands on the issue of abortion,
• 34:19
  Speaker 15: everyone should be opposed to this amendment because it is
• 34:21
  Speaker 15: so dangerous for our patients. It completely eliminates health and
• 34:26
  Speaker 15: safety standards and it enshrines it into the Constitution, which
• 34:30
  Speaker 15: means it becomes very, very difficult to walk back in
• 34:34
  Speaker 15: the future as opposed to a law. If someone isn't
• 34:37
  Speaker 15: happy with the law in Virginia, there's a much easier
• 34:40
  Speaker 15: path for getting that change than if this becomes enshrined
• 34:43
  Speaker 15: in the state constitution.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Dr.
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: Christina Francis, one of the 200-odd medical professionals taking part
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: in the Family Foundation event at the Virginia Capitol tomorrow.
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: I wanted to ask, though, from somebody who does this,
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: I've always told my kids, if you can't tell us
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: what's going on, odds are it shouldn't be going on.
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: The way that the language is written on the ballot
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: bearing so little comparison to what's on the actual amendment,
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: doesn't that tell people right away that they're trying to
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: hide something? The fact that they wouldn't display the amendment
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: at the polling places like they were supposed to for
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: 60 days before voting began and that kind of thing,
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: isn't that indicative of the fact that they know that
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: they're pulling a fast one on the community? Well, yes.
• 35:38
  Speaker 15: I mean, I think it absolutely is shameful that they
• 35:42
  Speaker 15: know that if they put their true agenda out there,
• 35:44
  Speaker 15: which is they want a baby to be able to
• 35:47
  Speaker 15: be killed through an abortion. through all nine months of
• 35:50
  Speaker 15: pregnancy for any reason that voters wouldn't vote for that.
• 35:53
  Speaker 15: And so instead they put this very vague euphemistic language
• 35:59
  Speaker 15: on the ballot. And, you know, it's really important that
• 36:02
  Speaker 15: voters are informed before they go to the polls and
• 36:05
  Speaker 15: really important that people know that they need to vote
• 36:08
  Speaker 15: no on question one, when they go to the polls,
• 36:10
  Speaker 15: either in November or if they're doing early voting to
• 36:13
  Speaker 15: ensure that they vote no on to ensure that Virginia
• 36:17
  Speaker 15: women and children are protected and to ensure that Virginia
• 36:21
  Speaker 15: doesn't become even more of an abortion destination state for
• 36:24
  Speaker 15: even higher risk abortions.
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: That's a great point. I mean, it's not like we
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: don't have abortions going on here. As a matter of fact,
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: I think there was a 60 percent spike in one
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: quarter of this past year because of all the other
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: states coming up with more common sense laws than Virginia has.
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: So it's not like we've closed all the Planned Parenthoods
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: around here.
• 36:46
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:47
  Speaker 15: Actually, Virginia's current abortion laws are very permissive, you know,
• 36:50
  Speaker 15: allowing for abortion for any reason through 27 weeks of pregnancy. So,
• 36:55
  Speaker 15: you know, there is zero reason other than the fact
• 36:58
  Speaker 15: that the abortion industry is playing political games right now
• 37:01
  Speaker 15: with women's lives and with children's lives. There's zero reason
• 37:05
  Speaker 15: why this needs to be put into the Virginia Constitution. Again,
• 37:09
  Speaker 15: even for people who support abortion, quote unquote, rights, because.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Doctor? Oh dear.
• 37:19
  Speaker 7: See what you can do about getting a, but you know,
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: her point, well made. What is an abortion right? And
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: maybe we get back, we'll find out. But because that's
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: a big part of this unpacking. And we had a
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: debate earlier in the week about populism. And especially as
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: the Technology has advanced. We were talking about AI. We
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: were talking about drone armies. What about the idea that
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: you no longer have to go to an abortionist for
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: an abortion, thanks to Milfa Pristone?
• 38:01
  Speaker 19: At Hot Shot Secret, we share the science behind common
• 38:04
  Speaker 19: diesel problems and their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: For example, diesel fuel cetane levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 19: In many states, the cetane rating in diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  Speaker 19: 42 to 45. Most diesel engines operate more efficiently with
• 38:15
  Speaker 19: a cetane rating of 48 to 50. One treatment of
• 38:18
  Speaker 19: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your cetane seven points,
• 38:21
  Speaker 19: increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts. Due to a
• 38:25
  Speaker 19: cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons and particulate matter in
• 38:28
  Speaker 19: your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of your diesel particulate filter.
• 38:32
  Speaker 19: Using Diesel Extreme generates 83% less DPF regenerations. The 6-in-1
• 38:38
  Speaker 19: Diesel Extreme formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on
• 38:42
  Speaker 19: the market. Lubricity enhancer, water demulsifier, rust and corrosion inhibitors,
• 38:47
  Speaker 19: and a fuel stabilizer.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme is available nationwide at truck stops,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: fine farm and auto stores, and online at hotshotsecret.com. Hot

  Speaker 16: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  Speaker 16: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 16: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes!
• 40:15
  Speaker 7: Yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 16: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your

  Speaker 16: favorite form of ear candy.
• 40:23
  Speaker 8: Oh, my.
• 40:24
  Speaker 16: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 15: Shh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 16: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:38
  Speaker 16: And with every item you buy, you fund local job
• 40:41
  Speaker 16: training and more. So go forth. Bring home those donut earrings.
• 40:48
  Speaker 16: And bring home so much good to your community.
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: Goodwill.
• 40:55
  Speaker 16: Bring good home.
• 40:57
  Speaker 14: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 14: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 14: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 14: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 14: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:21
  Speaker 14: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 14: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:27
  Speaker 14: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:32
  Speaker 14: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:36
  Speaker 14: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41
  Speaker 16: Eat better.

  Speaker 1: This is Independence from Virginia, again, first thing today, by
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:21
  Speaker 14: It's what we're going to call it these days.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Well, actually, it will now.
• 44:34
  Speaker 7: That's all you should do. You know, the same ad
• 44:37
  Speaker 7: agency that rebranded Hamas as a misunderstood, marginalized community should
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: be tasked with rebranding pregnancy as just a bad case
• 44:50
  Speaker 7: of loving you. Wouldn't it be so much easier to
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: pass these baby-killing laws if we just viewed pregnancy as
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: a virus that men give women? It's a sexually transmitted disease,
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: why we cure those all the time. I know I'm
• 45:11
  Speaker 7: being salacious about this, but when you look at what's the,
• 45:18
  Speaker 7: I mean, the total is right now about 3 million
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: to three quarters of a million in the coffers of
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: the people who want to take away an unborn baby's
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: due process. And again, I will always give credit where
• 45:34
  Speaker 7: credit's due. Our alert listener, Blair, and the world needs
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: more alerts, Blair. He is alert without question, was the
• 45:44
  Speaker 7: one that realized that this amendment amends the portion of
• 45:47
  Speaker 7: the Constitution regarding due process of law. What other things
• 45:52
  Speaker 7: do Democrats who support this legislation want to take due
• 45:58
  Speaker 7: process away from? What other Would you amend the Constitution
• 46:04
  Speaker 7: to eliminate their due process? But it would be certainly
• 46:14
  Speaker 7: much more understandable if we just called it a bad
• 46:18
  Speaker 7: case of loving you. Hey, doctor, I, you know, this guy,
• 46:24
  Speaker 7: and now I feel like I have a bad case
• 46:26
  Speaker 7: of loving him. You got a pill for that? Yes,
• 46:29
  Speaker 7: we do. We have new Milfa Pristone. I'm sorry. There's
• 46:33
  Speaker 7: no L. I'm sorry. You're right. There's no L.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: It's Miff.
• 46:37
  Speaker 7: Miffa Pristone. And the best part is it's covered under Obamacare.
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: And we're making it egregious. Ellen, and I want to
• 46:55
  Speaker 7: give some background. So Ellen just sent me a story
• 46:58
  Speaker 7: by text. regarding a Canadian discussion in 2013. 2013, Canada
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: or America light, a third less calories in your irregular America.
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry, not 20, 23. So three years ago, not
• 47:38
  Speaker 7: 13 years ago. Teresa Wright in an op-ed says minors
• 47:45
  Speaker 7: should be eligible for assisted dying according to a parliamentary committee.
• 47:54
  Speaker 7: Parliamentary authorized committee over their MAID program. That's medical assistance
• 48:03
  Speaker 7: in dying. is what it stands for. Isn't that nice?
• 48:08
  Speaker 7: Send in the MAID committee hearing heard from some 500 people,
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: 150 people, 350 briefs on whether or not the MAID
• 48:24
  Speaker 7: program in Canada should be expanded to include children. We
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: like to refer to this on this program as postpartum abortion.
• 48:39
  Speaker 7: But the only places Canada did not adopt it, Canada
• 48:43
  Speaker 7: does not have postpartum abortion.
• 48:48
  Speaker 8: Yet.
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: But a committee of the actual government, people who were
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: elected to represent, albeit Bob and Doug McKenzie, but they
• 48:59
  Speaker 7: were elected by them. And these folks down here They
• 49:07
  Speaker 7: love to talk about them democracy. So they were voted
• 49:13
  Speaker 7: in by Bob and Doug McKenzie to represent them up
• 49:17
  Speaker 7: in the great white north. And they said, hey, let's
• 49:19
  Speaker 7: think about this. Should we? And you have to understand
• 49:23
  Speaker 7: how the Overton window works. How many people, and hopefully
• 49:30
  Speaker 7: it's not a lot in your world, but how many
• 49:32
  Speaker 7: people in your world in the last four years have
• 49:35
  Speaker 7: discussed minor attracted persons? How many people before, say you
• 49:42
  Speaker 7: heard the name Jeffrey Epstein, had ever discussed minor attracted
• 49:48
  Speaker 7: persons with you prior to the beginnings of the Epstein saga?
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: Hmm?
• 49:56
  Speaker 7: If you're anything like me, hardly any. I mean, we
• 50:00
  Speaker 7: would discuss pedophiles. And that's how the Overton window works.
• 50:11
  Speaker 7: We drag something absolutely insane into the town square, plop
• 50:18
  Speaker 7: it on somebody's desk, put the seal of whatever state
• 50:22
  Speaker 7: you're in on it, ka-chunk, and then have thoughtful discussion
• 50:28
  Speaker 7: about the insanity. And sure, the first time we discuss
• 50:33
  Speaker 7: the insanity, it's dismissed as, well... certainly something we should
• 50:39
  Speaker 7: discuss later. But it's not dismissed as insanity. It's dismissed
• 50:46
  Speaker 7: as maybe something we're just not ready for yet. And
• 50:50
  Speaker 7: that's how the Overton window works. Conservatives can do it too.
• 50:59
  Speaker 7: I try to do it when I talk about how
• 51:01
  Speaker 7: I would like to fight abortion, which is, and the idea,
• 51:05
  Speaker 7: the concept of of unwanted pregnancies. What a horrific thing
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: to think of. I mean, almost as horrific to think
• 51:13
  Speaker 7: of as medically assisted suicide for young children. Of course,
• 51:21
  Speaker 7: they would have to have parental consent, according to the
• 51:23
  Speaker 7: Canadian committees. I did look up, just because I was,
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: you know, I think I looked this up mostly because
• 51:37
  Speaker 7: I stop sometimes and look at car accidents. So under
• 51:46
  Speaker 7: that same rubbernecking, I was curious. Lord knows why. Belgium
• 51:52
  Speaker 7: and the Netherlands are the only places. Thus the story
• 51:55
  Speaker 7: from just the other day where the two-year-old was killed
• 51:59
  Speaker 7: because his parents said he was brain damaged. I guess
• 52:02
  Speaker 7: a doctor or two must have agreed. And we're participating
• 52:12
  Speaker 7: in this Overton window by even discussing the insanity of this.
• 52:21
  Speaker 7: That anyone who even thinks about this kind of thing
• 52:25
  Speaker 7: should have a padded room and no sharp objects, utensil restrictions.
• 52:36
  Speaker 7: Because the next thing you know, there will be a case.
• 52:38
  Speaker 7: Somebody in the activist community that wants to do this. Anyway,
• 52:45
  Speaker 7: it's time for me to roll out of here until
• 52:47
  Speaker 7: tomorrow morning at five. So long and thanks for all
• 52:50
