"Americans have become more obsessed with Christmas lighting than ever before. They say now you can actually see the Christmas lights from space. More people, more neighborhoods working together to expend more energy. And in a time when our infrastructures are being pushed to the limit, people are spending more and more every month when it comes to the holiday lighting. And more importantly, they're starting to put the lights out even earlier. They say in a lot of places you could see Christmas lights the day after Halloween. They even think I saw some Christmas decorations before Halloween. People are getting more obsessed with, I guess, outdoing their neighbors. Or more importantly, being Clark Griswold, you know, of the Christmas Vacation movie where it's just so obsessed with being the biggest and the brightest displays in the neighborhood. And it's not just Christmas lighting. It comes to the inflatables. It comes to things that you put lights on. It's just getting crazy. What's more interesting, though, there are ways to cut the costs for lighting. There's a way to cut the energy costs, especially with new LED bulbs. But of course, people don't want that. Bigger, brighter, more exciting, more bombastic. That's what's more important than energy and savings and cost.

Stamp Collecting (MM #4638)
"Day, The other the U .S. Postal Service announced the new stamps that were coming out, the new designs that were coming out for 2024. And it took me back to a day when, gosh, I was probably what, 12, 13 years old, I collected stamps. And I got into it pretty heavily for a brief time, but I thought, does anybody collect stamps anymore? There used to be stamp collector shops in malls, just like coin collector shops. You don't see those anymore. I don't even know if it's a thing anymore. Since the Forever stamp came out, stamps, there aren't as many of them. Prices, while they do raise, they don't look any different. The Forever stamp doesn't have a price on it, so the same stamp no matter what the price is. That was the one thing about stamps. You could have a six cent stamp, or an eight cent, or a 10 cent, or 25, or whatever we're up to now. 50, 60, I don't even know what we're paying anymore. I got my Forever stamp sitting here, and I only use one or two a month. I don't mail anything anymore. But it's interesting, a hobby that was so big and so popular for so many years. I had so many people giving me stamps and helping me out, and stamps from all around the world. It's kind of sad to me, something that was so cool and so interesting, thanks to the world we live in, isn't quite as cool as it used to be.

The Difference Between the Y2K and AI Crises
"Off the ledge because I not I am seriously freaked out I am NOT an apocalyptic guy and in the end I ultimately think that we could find a way to harness this thing but folks I think the way to stop AI is only going to be to unplug it which would basically unplug everything and you really do want to go back to little house on the prairie hey Paul I mean we can't even afford to do that we have nuclear actors now we have computers that are containing dangerous chemicals and viruses I am freaked totally out about this AI thing now here's one of the reasons I'm not going to spend a whole segment on this because I do want get to back to something that happened in the debate and PolitiFact strikes again which is amazing but the technical side of it alone scares me artificial intelligence is clearly something we were not designed to do because think about it from just a strict tactics perspective from a basic SWOT analysis you would do in business strengths weaknesses opportunities threats SWOT analysis is so simple yet it's one of the most valuable lessons you learn in business school even if you don't draw the grids you have this massive threat right? of a super intelligence just as a threat so how do you take advantage of a strength to mitigate that threat or mitigate a weakness to mitigate the threat and the thing about the threat of AI is I don't have an answer for you there because we don't have any strengths against AI we have none it's smarter than us that's the whole idea of AI why am I bringing this up again with this heavy news day because yesterday Peggy Noonan who I like her writing at the journal I get it she's not a Trump person it's okay we're allowed to have different opinions we don't have to like I don't dislike the Santis people and Haley people I believe in ideas not politicians it's fine I of get a lot complaints every time I mentioned Peggy Noonan she writes great stuff some of you know some of it I think's a little whatever oh why'd I just stop there's anybody know you pee ones Jim why'd I stop what time is it come on and you're the producer brother it's coffee time so one o 'clock hour you got to know this by yeah now man it's gonna go into book or some edit version number two the artificial intelligence Peggy Noonan wrote a piece about it last night it's a really good one she talks about AI is the y2k but it's actually real remember y2k the world's gonna end every you know enough I mean really nothing happened like it all and the y2k thing was a big deal to me because I had met Paula just before that and Paula was a computer web database developer and she was working overtime on making sure the y2k crisis didn't fit didn't affect her firm SIA where she worked Securities Industry Association at the time now SIFMA so she worked there and they fixed that the problem with AI is and you know it's funny Jim you and I just had this fight right about that fight of disagreement about it did you not say to me yesterday during the break Dan I know don't it sounds like y2k right right and this is before the Peggy Newton but she must have listened to us on the break she had like a she was beaming in ESP or something but I said to Jim and I don't know I think you thought I made a good defense the y2k crisis was describable and definable we did not allocate enough digits to compensate for the flip in the clock to the year two done everybody knew what it was okay let's fix it my wife's firm they realize they had certain systems payroll systems and others queued to a four -digit whatever three -digit or two -digit system excuse me they changed it the problem with AI in

Miles of Marathon Motivation With Jeannie Rice
"Tell me um about your marathon journey how many marathons have you ran so far weeks ago three weeks ago ready yeah I did that was my 131 Wow and then 30 first marathon so you know it's interesting it's a funny actually I told my friends and family when I when I reach hundreds marathon I'm gonna stop running a marathon not that I'm gonna stop running I'll stop for marathon and I'll do the half marathon and I'll continue to run so 100th math and I went to Boston again Boston is very special I guess because I was qualified night very beginning so I went there right after my hundredth marathon I'm thinking already next math and I couldn't so many I still want to do so now since then I've been 31 again 31 more so I am you know still have several math and I want to do so I you know is it easy no training is the hard part as you know anybody can train I mean you get to the starting line we can all get through it math either faster or slower but to get to that point you have to train so train for so weeks train is a tough you know I run 50 miles a week all year round either I have a marathon schedule or not so I am pretty much marathon ready whenever I want to run math and I just picked the one and then I do so 50 miles a week a pretty much six seven days a week once in a while I'll take the day off but you know my day off can be real easy one you know three four mile or none but normally six days a week I run all year round so what made you decide to go from that 5k to a marathon what was there any transition in there any like a 10k then a half or anything like that or you just went from 5k to I think I went seven weeks in a row 5k but 5k is like my speed world to me I am more you know distance runner although I do have a world record 5k I don't consider myself a fast but fast enough for my age division you know I broke the world record on 5k 10k even 1 ,500 meter and one mile this past this year I got all this world record time but marathon is the one I really you know a good at it because a marathon time when I first broke a world record when I was 75 years ago in Chicago and I broke the world record by seven minutes yeah those seven minutes the German lady had it for five years nobody broke until I did it and then I broke that year and then year later I went to Berlin marathon and I broke my own record by three minutes so I have a ten minutes in between so but there's a couple ladies are chasing of course it's fun about it we are not pro runners but you know they are chasing my record and record will be broken some sooner later just like I did this year now I'm move up to 75 and I broke 75 years old record mm -hmm so Chicago I only broke by four minutes so I mean I said only because I was hoping for seven minutes just like I did five years ago but this way I can break my own record again because I didn't run as fast as I want I plan to and I was hoping to so now next big race will be London and that's what I'm going for okay so you're going for all the world majors yes yeah yeah I don't have any marathon plan before then I do have a USATF cross -country that's only 6k 6k in December and I have a math half marathon in December Jacksonville and then in Naples in January that's a big race I go to Naples during the winter time mm -hmm I live in Cleveland Ohio during the summer but it's cold in here so I'll be heading down in a week or two to Florida and I stay there till April so but there's a big half marathon in Naples in January which I do that every year and I belong to running club down there it's a huge race people come from all over so that's my my schedule but I do a lot of 5k if it's a local 5k there is 5k I run anyway because to me that's my fun run and it's a speed work mm -hmm and I'm not really good at going to track every week like some people do I used to when I was younger and I don't do that and I still go once in a while with the friends if they want me to go I'll go but my speed work is local small races or I do on the road by doing this you know running schedule

Hear 75-Year-old Jeannie Rice's Inspiring Journey to Marathon Success
"To the show Jeannie. It's so nice to have you here. Well thank you for having me. Jeannie I read your story in runner's world so I really was excited to have you agreed to come on the show. So how did you get started in running? It's a long story but I'm gonna make it short. Like 41 years ago, it's going on 41 years already I've been running, I made a trip to my hometown Seoul, Korea and I came home a few extra pounds. I would say five six pounds because I was just traveling and visiting family and you know even every day it's like a feast right? So I am a short person I'm only 5 '1 and the five six pounds was a little I felt like I was a little chubby so I started jogging around the blocks and then I got hooked and I decided that I am pretty good at it running before you know it and I was in a five mile race in local race and then I did very well at the time I was 35 years old and I was a brand new runner I just starting to jog a couple three months and I came in fourth in my age division it was a big race actually so I thought oh if I train I guess I can run faster so that's how I got hooked so a year later I did math on 1984 1983 I start running 1984 I did my first marathon and six months later first marathon was 345 and then six months later I did 316 which qualified for Boston at the time I was only 36 years old so I did go to Boston 1985 that was my first marathon and I got hooked so I've been running since then and my children were already older a lot of people a lot of girls I would say when they start younger age we know they get married they get you know have a children's they take some time off between their pregnancy or whatever but I was already I had two boys already they were already older so I just never stopped as I've been running 41 years straight Wow and your time hasn't really changed now has it because I looked at some of your times yes you know it's interesting um a lot of people my competitor now and they used to be some of them I mean one you know particular lady and from London she was Olympian years ago she was her best time is like a 240 something but now she's running my pace 330 ish but I never was there faster so I haven't slow down much let's I'll put it that way my first marathon was a 345 and then I got better to 310 but I never went under three hour so now I slow down a little bit 1015 minutes 40 years later I'm still running 330 math that's so incredible

"Man his background his history and I wanted you to come on the program and tell millions and millions of Americans what this is like what's happening what's happened to your family and what about the future sir well thank you mark good evening thank for you the opportunity to address your audience my son Moshe was my oldest three eight children he was also my best friend he spent 15 years in the shaldad unit which is the Israel equivalent to the Delta Force actually he trained for some time with the with the Delta Force at at the age of 33 decided to go to medical school because he was intent on helping people and healing people he was about to start his experience clinical on October 8th but October we know what happened Hamas stormed into our communities slaughtered 1200 hundred people and he immediately went back into a reservist position he had spent even during the training the medical training he had spent 80 90 days a year doing reserve duty because he was a real expert field fox he understood the battlefield very well and that's why when he went back into his reserve in the reserve unit on October 8th and organized the his soldiers prepared them for war he was actually put at the command of the point squadron which which led the division the first division to enter the northern community in in Gaza from which the Hamas terrorists would fire missiles into our cities sometimes thousands of missiles at a time and he was killed when he led the operation to discover peers tunnel peers that would lead to terrorist headquarters and to their ammunition sites it was booby trapped a very heavy booby trap and he was killed along with three of his soldiers and three were injured seriously they lost their legs so it was a great loss for me personally I think for the IDF we we had thousands of people during our shiva the mourning period for him thousands and and many of prime mr. visited us the president of Israel I say about half the cabinet because he was very very well known he was very well liked and he was a major who had mastered a so masterful reputation half my heart bleeds for my son and my best friend and half my heart is very proud that I had a son who led the battle a civilizational battle against evil and sitting here listening it's very emotional obviously I don't know you I didn't know him and I'm thinking of the great men who have to go off to war whether they really want to or not but in times like this they're called to do duty and they go and they do so without objection and then I'm thinking about the leading politicians in my country here and how they never talk about the idea of soldiers they talk never about who they are they don't show their photographs they don't talk about their backgrounds their families what they've gone through and I assume you find that incredibly disturbing

America Needs to Understand It's Role in the Middle East
"Oh my god what the heck's on going here what do you want to tell the American people about how things should go forward I think there are two points, Mark, if you'll permit me. The first thing is that America needs to understand its role. America is you know Iran calls America the great Satan yeah that's because it's great and they want to divide it so they call it the great Satan but America is great and if it departs from that role it's not only America that suffers at the end of the day it's the entire world certainly the free world certainly the people who believe in values the of Judeo -Christian ethics. America can't step back from its leadership role and when it does that as it began to do during the Obama administration you're going to have a rise of malevolent powers who are going to ultimately cause suffering for Western civilization as well. Well it's not going to stop here Israel is really the like my son was the point Israel is the point squadron for Western civilization and if we defeat Hamas then America benefits and the in Europe in Europe benefits Judeo -Christian world benefits but America has to be out in front and has to lead and it can't step back from that role. That would be my first point. The second point is we have to go back to our roots to our sources. We've kind of lost a moral compass because we've lost where we've come from. If you don't know where you come from you don't know where you're going. You've written about this extensively in the book on liberty. You always have to look back and see where do we come from? Where are our roots? roots. What do we believe in? If we confuse that we forget that. We make 1619 into 1620 or 1620 and the founding gets all confused. If you have a confused beginning then you have a very confused future. So I think it's really imperative that America understands its leadership and understands its roots and if that happens Israel will be far more appreciated than it is now. The reason why Israel is derided in so much of academia in the media is because wokeism has over taken and America's role and its history has been forgotten and confused. Very brilliantly put. How is your family coping with all this? The rest of your family is a big hole and yet your citizens of Israel this threat still looms over your family like it does the entire citizenry there. Mark, you know it's quite a move from talking about America's role to my family but I'll tell you this, you know we always have to see ourselves personally in the context of a bigger picture and a bigger picture in the context of our personal lives. You know when I got the knock on the door at 12 30 at night the two officers came to inform me that my son had fallen. I really didn't know what name they were going to say because I have

"It's Merriam -Webster's Word of the Day for May 26th. Today's word is Sapient, spelled S -A -P -I -E -N -T. Sapient is an adjective. It's a formal word that means possessing or expressing great wisdom. Here's the word used in a sentence from Town and Country magazine by Adam Gopnik. Many wise and sapient social historians have written on the American cult and invention of the weekend. It was only in the 1920s that the five -day work week began to take hold as an American innovation and only after the Second World War that it became commonplace. We human beings certainly like to think we're wise. It's a fact reflected in the scientific name we've given our species, Homo sapiens, which comes in part from the Latin word sapiens, meaning wise or intelligent. Sapient, which is basically just a fancy synonym of wise, has the same source. Both words ultimately trace to the Latin verb sapere, meaning to be wise, and also to taste. Other sapere words pepper the language as well, among them sage, as in sage advice, savant, savvy, and savor. With your Word of the Day, I'm Peter Sokolowski.

"It's Merriam -Webster's Word of the Day for May 24th. Today's word is adumbrate, also pronounced adumbrate and spelled A -D -U -M -B -R -A -T -E. Adumbrate is a verb. It's a formal verb with several meanings that all have to do with figurative shadows. It can mean to foreshadow vaguely, as in a childhood interest in ants that adumbrated a career in biology. It can mean to suggest or outline partially, as in a few sentences that adumbrate the plan. And it can mean to overshadow or obscure, as in a cheerfulness not adumbrated by difficult circumstances. Here's the word used in a sentence from Gender and Behavior. The lines adumbrate the fact that freedom was not attained on a platter of gold, but as a result of the collaborative efforts of the freedom fighters in a fierce battle with the oppressors. Don't throw shade our way if you've never crossed paths with the word adumbrate. Its shadow rarely falls across the pages of casual texts. It comes from the Latin word umbra, meaning shadow, and is usually used in academic and political writing to mean to foreshadow, as in protests that adumbrated a revolution, or to suggest or partially outline, as in a philosophy adumbrated in her early writings. Adumbrate is a definite candidate for those oft -published lists of words you should know, and its relations range from the quotidian umbrella, to the somewhat formal umbrage, to the downright obscure umbra. But it's a word worth knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt. With your Word of the Day, I'm Peter Sokolowski. Visit Merriam -Webster .com today for definitions, wordplay, and trending word lookups.

"It's merriam Webster's word of the day for me first. Today's word is beltane spelled capital B E L tn E, beltane is a noun. It refers to the Celtic May Day festival. Here's the word used in a sentence by Helen a Berger in the St. Louis post dispatch. A yearly cycle of rituals known as sabat, celebrate the beginning and height of each of the four seasons of the northern hemisphere, each ritual encourages participants to celebrate the changes the season's bring to nature and to reflect on how those changes are mirrored in their own lives. For example, at beltane, which takes place on May 1st, at the height of spring, Wiccans celebrate fertility in both the earth and in people's lives. The rituals are constructed to not only celebrate the season, but to put the participant in direct contact with the divine. To the ancient celts, May Day marked the start of summer, and a critical time when the boundaries between the human and Supernatural worlds were removed, requiring that people take special measures to protect themselves against enchantments. The beltane fire festival originated in a summer ritual, in which cattle were herded between two huge bonfires to protect them from evil and disease. The word beltane has been used in English since the 15th century, but the earliest known instance of the word in print, as well as the description of that summer ritual, is from 500 years earlier. It appears in an Irish glossary commonly attributed to cormac, a king and bishop, who lived in the south of Ireland near the end of the first millennium.

Dolorous is an adjective. It means causing marked by or expressing misery or grief. Here's the word used in a sentence from The Guardian by Malcolm Jack. Having haunted arenas longer than some ghosts haunt cathedrals, the cure have their lives sound down to a towering tea, feather like guitar filigrees land like hammers, Dolores synth string drones, rumble from the deep. Robert Smith's ageless yearning and yelping vocals, his lyrics steeped in suburban ennui and true love against the big bad world, are the voice of the eternal moody teen. If you've ever studied a romance language, you've likely run into words related to the Latin dolore, meaning pain or grief. Indeed, Spanish French Italian Portuguese and Romanian all referred to pain using descendants of Dolores. English which, despite its many latinate terms, is categorized as a Germanic language, has Dolores to thank for Dolores. When the word first appeared, it was linked to physical pain, as the British surgeon John bannister wrote in 1578, no medicine may prevail till the same dolorous tooth be plucked up by the roots. The causing pain sense of dolorous coexisted with the sorrowful sense for centuries, but to the dollar perhaps of some, its use is now rare. With your word of the day I'm Peter sokolovsky.

"Let's merriam Webster's word of the day for March 31st. Today's word is recused, spelled RE, C USE, recused as a verb. It means to disqualify oneself as judge in a particular case. More broadly, it can also mean to remove oneself from participation to avoid a conflict of interest. Here's the word used in a sentence from The Boston Globe by Robert Barnes and Anne E marmo. The court's profile has only increased as a new majority has moved rapidly on a range of polarizing issues. That has also increased scrutiny on the justices, the activities of their spouses, and when the courts members should recuse themselves from cases. If you ever find yourself accused of refusing to recuse yourself, look on the bright side, you may be in a legal predicament, but you've also got a great occasion to learn some etymology. The words accuse and recuse. Not only share space in the vocabulary of the courtroom, they both ultimately trace back to the Latin word causa, meaning legal case, reason or cause. The current legal use of recused means to disqualify oneself as a judge didn't settle into frequent use until the 1800s. Broader application soon followed, and you can now recuse yourself from such things as debates and decisions as well as court cases. If you're word of the day, I'm Peter sokolovsky.

"It's merriam Webster's word of the day for March 6th. Today's word is vindicate spelled VIN DIC ATE vindicate is a verb. It means to show that someone is not guilty. It can also mean to show that someone or something that has been criticized or doubted is correct, true or reasonable. Here's the word used in a sentence from The Washington Post by Elizabeth Nelson. Describing Webb pierce's there stands the glass from 1953, Bob Dylan extrapolates the sad song into something remorselessly bleak. The song's narrator must justify and vindicate his entire being. He's been betrayed by politicians back home, forsaken, and double crossed. It's hard not to marvel at the rich history of the word vindicate. Vindicate which has been used in English since at least the mid 16th century comes from a form of the Latin verb vindi carre, meaning to set free avenge or lay claim to. Vin dicare in turn comes from vindex, a noun meaning claimant or avenger. Truly vindex has proven to be an Incredible Hulk of a word progenitor over the centuries, other descendants of this avenger assembled in English include the word avenge itself, with revenge, vengeance, vendetta, and vindictive as well.

But i'm also very proud and my wife was of the breakfast club bitches charleen. Please tell me. Why was i your donkey of the day. Well don't you today. For thursday june third goes to fox news. Talk cost and tucker carlson Often wonder if god truly did everything. I mean i know god is god and i always trust god to god and i give all glory to god all the time but maybe just maybe he regulated somebody creating duties to others and when he did that. Some things were made on his watch that he wasn't aware of i mean. How do you explain things like you know. Rats poisonous snakes. Bali to and tucker. Carlson look all about free speech. Even though i know speeches and frieda cost of everything that comes out of your mouth. 'cause and his paying the price this morning because of the backlash he is receiving a regardless of what he had to say about kovic safety measures. Basically what some establishments in industries doing regards regards to people being vaccinated and non-vaccinated not for me to put any sauce on it. Let's just sit back and enjoy the sounds of one of the best young comics in the game. Today talk across much. Everybody agreed that segregation was the worst thing. This country ever did forcing certain categories as citizens into separate lesser accommodations. Barring them from public places treating them like lepers or untouchables. That was completely immoral and wrong. We were told that a lot and most of us strongly agree. It was wrong so imagine her confusion today looking at across the country the very same people literally the very same who just the other day told us that segregation was immoral are now enforcing segregation. Should we be surprised. Probably not but we still are just this morning. The new york times informed us that unless you can prove you have taken the injection that the democratic party demands you take. You are no longer permitted in bars. Comedy clubs even some dance competitions in the state of new york. You're too dirty to appear in public. You're not welcome near normal. People want to watch the nba playoffs in person. You had better be vaccine to do that. Otherwise in new york knicks will bar you from madison square garden. You can still go see a baseball game. If you want to be warned you'll be sitting in your own roped off section marinating in your shame with the other disobedient bad people medical. Jim crow has come to america. We still have water fountains the unvaccinated would have separate ones. Let's unpack this is my therapist would say By the way stop calling for tucker to be cancelled. Because of his opinion. I watched tucker. He amuses me. I don't want my entertainment taken away. But i shall aggressively disagree. Okay where do we begin number one when he says everybody when he says everybody agreed that the worst thing to happen in this country who is everybody. See when older white men say everybody. They're not thinking about anyone other than themselves. Okay just goes back to. When i sat down and wrote the constitution and declaration of independence and whatever other documents. They may when they founded this country. There was no diversity at any of those planning sessions. Okay nope that's why black people didn't have rights. Women didn't have rights. When you hear all white men say everybody they just talking amongst themselves okay. We the people liberty and justice for all lies big old white mill lies okay. Who is everybody. I would love to argue with everybody. Everybody being the white man in regards to segregation being the worst thing that happened in this country. Okay this is why you can't ban to sixteen nineteen project from schools because people like coffee need that knowledge because if you think segregation was the worst thing that ever happened in this country then you have never heard of slavery not to mention how about go. Talk to the three surviving members of the greenwood community mother fletcher and Uncle red van ellison a mother. Randall is what they call. They may have some thoughts on what the worst thing that ever happened in this country. But let's talk segregation. I'm on record saying segregation was a great concept that was poorly executed because it should have been based on behavior not race. I mean let's sit here and act like you know we all don't self segregate certain people places and things you don't wanna be around okay Don't want around you. And you have a various amounts of reasons as wide a problem with segregation was that it was strictly based on the color of one's skin and nothing bass wrong as dr martin luther king junior once said judge people by the content of their character. Not the color of their skin not to mention segregation. Wasn't a matter of choice. Okay at one point. It was the at all right. The enforced separation of different. Racial groups in a country community are establishment is just are wrong. Now ask yourself. What does the history of racial segregation in america have to do with two thousand twenty one kovic safety measures. If you guessed not a devil damn thing for five hundred. Alex you are correct. I mean holy false equivalency white man right see this is what's so frustrating about the country. We live in the important. Things are talked about in stupid ways in the media. This is what keeps compensations from that. Moving forward okay. I've said this a million times. And i'll say a million more. Wightman like tucker. Carlson are simply not used to being told what to do. They're not used to being held accountable. And accountability feels like oppression when you not use to being held accountable. We have to stop letting people like tucker carlson co op language because they make words meaningless so we can't use them against them. How can you have a serious conversation about racial segregation in this country when causing the saying segregation is simply based on whether someone chooses to be vaccinated vaccinated. I never had a choice to be black. How do you have more empathy for people who choose not to get vaccines and you do for people who got discriminated against. Because they didn't have a choice on what race. God chose them to be not to mention in regard to the segregation. In certain places. You wouldn't want black people regardless of what shot. They had a nice so knock it off. Okay see this is what happens when you know. We ended up having to completely separate conversations over the same phrase. It's not an accident. Tucker causing isn't a dummy he just plays one on tv and law twenty one of the forty eight laws of power play player sucker to catch a sucker seem dumb in your mark. This is what guys like took a causing do baby. It's not an accident as part of a propaganda and misinformation campaign waged by the right and it works as long as they keep folk stuck on stupid distracted in debating about not since like kovic safety measures being medical jim crow. Okay this has nothing to do with anything except white men like cost. And i wanted to be held accountable and i wanted to be told what to do. And like i said accountability like oppression. When you're not used to being held accountable. It's also amazing to me how to descendants of colonizers are now trying to co op oppression. Tucker you will never know what racial segregation feels like. I've never felt it like our folks during the civil rights there. I did but i guarantee if you talk to folks who lived through that they would laugh at you call and kovic safety measures medical jim crow. We need more than sixteen nineteen project in schools because some people like talking causing a really trying to revise history. The difference between kovic safety measures and racial segregation. To me simply choice. You can choose to get the vaccine. You could choose not to. You can't choose race. I don't care what. Rachel dole's all says you can't choose your race. Okay tucker you know that though since we just throwing things out there to get a conversation going tucker if there was a vaccine that caused us to actually speak truth to power and there was a vaccine that actually caused everyone in the world the treat each other as equals and eliminate vision amongst people. Would you take tucker probably not because it would cure all the things you profit off of. Please let kathy griffin give. Tucker cost the biggest. Please give this giant male. The biggest he all right. Well thank you for that donkey of the day when we come back. Doggy today is brought to you by the law. Office of michael s limits off. Don't be a donkey.

So there's been a lot of public debate. So why did they. Why did the fda move forward. They published a pretty detailed explanation of their thinking and it was notable for what it did not do. It never tries to argue. That studies have shown that actually works to preserve. Someone's thinking memory instead. It focuses on what has been shown for sure which is that the drug can remove plaque from the brain and they argue that a drug that can remove plaque is reasonably likely to slow down the disease even though the studies so far have not confirmed that the other point the fda was that there is no other treatment for this disabling fatal disease that affects six million people in the us. So they said that justifies giving edgy home. Something called accelerated approval. What that means in practical terms is that the drugs maker have to conduct another study after the product is already on the market so we not to at above but just say more about the reaction to the fda decision a lot of love a lot of hate and not any small amount of celebration among investors. Who think at your home is gonna make a lot of money. I spoke with. Dr richard hoda. She's the director of the national institute on aging. And he did not he did not directly question the fda's decision but he did suggest that drugs to remove amyloid may be kind of a dead end scientifically so he says the nih is and especially his agency is more interested in other kinds of treatment. These days people working feel regard amyloid as one component to the underlying disease. But not the only one of the nih supported francophiles. It's only a minority in fact that are currently targeting amyloid. Another reason the h. Is looking elsewhere. Is that there have been large. Clinical trials of a couple of dozen amyloid drugs in the past twenty years or so and until do home. They all feel to help patients. So who's supporting the fda decision. Well doctors who treat alzheimer's patients many of them have been very supportive. There's also been strong support from patient groups. I talked with harry johns. He's the ceo of the alzheimer's association and he told me they see as this small first step. You know much like the first drugs for some other diseases. Hypertension hiv aids not perfect treatments but have stimulated other investments. That then become so important to advancing the cause part of what he's arguing there. I should explain. Is that many people. Think approving a drug like abdu how might encourage the development of other drugs but pharmaceutical companies have become pretty wary about trying to cure alzheimer's. So maybe not. I mean this drug is also very expensive. Right is part of what is concerning people very expensive the drug's makers biogen as say the drug alone will cost fifty six thousand dollars a year and of course of course patients will have to take it for many years also. They're likely to be other costs because it's administered in a medical setting so it's expensive and medicare is going to have to really think about whether it wants to cover this treatment.

"My life just seems to happen and we're not trying to be a black cloud. That's not my point. My point is just mathematically forecasting predict. And if the bad thing doesn't happen you've got the money. It didn't go anywhere but you can't go buy a bass boat with it. Then you gotta use it for that. Absolutely so if for some reason she decides to calm down without being Slapped into next week with an attorney which may be what has to happen I mean sometimes you just have to stand up and fight. You know forward rather than backward. And i don't know i don't know the particulars are such your situation. I'm not an attorney But i you know i. There is a benefit to going after. Offensively -ly some of these people that misbehave using the court systems. Well and this is not working for your five times in. This is not working so we can't try something else fifth round or whatever it is you know i never suggest i mean very very solemness suggests someone pick a fight right but sometimes you have to finish one yeah In order to you know in order for it to be over. Yeah it's not gonna be over until you finish it. I mean you've got to punch until march and punch and punch till it's over and You know standard and just you know and the problem being a fight. It doesn't just hurt the person that you're hitting it hurt you. When you're hitting your your physically renovate your hands or get damaged. You know You know boxers come out managed on you know. there's no no one gets out of these things unscathed. There's not like there's one guy does all the hitting in one guy. Doesn't you know everybody gets it. But the thing is if you're going to go through all that at least stick in it long enough to win where you don't have to fear this year and just absolutely defeat the evil foe and you have to take on that persona of doing that as very difficult so it's a motionless because you can hear their emotional drain on him. Oh my gosh like this just never going to be the ex wife. But you're never going away. Just go away of people power. Just go away just go. Go live your life over there somewhere. Just go away. You know but they can't seem to do it so they it's not just a financial drain. It's just that emotional intelligence headaches strain on your marriage your kid. It's it's you know in your go from Being angry to sad to back and forth. And i. I'm just i'm so sorry. Yeah sorry you've been through that and and and it you know it's the problem is it's dealing both the emotion spirit and the money from your future with your current wife right. That's the problem. You're taking your eyes off a good things that could be done instead. You have to deal with this crap and this fight and Been there myself. No how it is not an divorce situation but in other situations and you've just got to you just have to The bad actors. They have to be punished. And you know you don't have any way around it You know i. I don't set out to be sheriff. Andy but But we'll finish it you know if you're going to pick a fight and that's that's that's where i'm coming from because i've been in those situations in sadly in legal battles where you have to become the aggressor rather than even though you didn't start the fight in order to stop it and that's how it works.

My wife and i became involved in a multi level marketing business. Since then i find. I found out how deceptive this company is in their business practices. I don't want to waste any more money on these products but my wife is so brainwashed. I don't know if she will exit this fake dream. It may come down to her choosing this business over me and our children. What should i do. i sing. Brother take a breath relax. There's a way more going on here than multilevel marketing. Anthony you're speechless. I don't say here bro. here's why i don't know i don't know too much information that say i mean that's a heavy statement and said it. Your wife would choose. There's there's multi level marketing company over. You like how we need some more information see. Why is he filled that way. Because i agree with you your wife is going to choose a mlm over ewing. Your children bigger problems. This is not about the mlm. It's about something else that the militias covering In so i would suggest that this guy gives your show a call. 'cause we need some more. We need some more questions just with what we've got here bradley. What should you do. I don't even. I don't even like we're talking about your wife what you should do right now. Bradley go find someone talked to. Yeah all right. Gre- go find a professional. Talk to and say i'm about to leave. Take my kids go to war over my kids because my wife wants to sell avon tupperware whatever. The mlm businesses. Mary kay she wants to to do. a stay at home business and i'm out and i want to take our kids away. There's something way bigger going on here bradley but you ever find yourself up against a line here. That says i'm about to be out of here. Stop which before you jump go could talk to somebody talk to somebody and footed listeners. I i wanna make schubert. We're clear because you name your name. A couple of. We're not calling those scams. 'cause i there are some solid. Mlm companies out there that That i think are are good but there there are a lot of them out. There that are that are bad then. I've had the opportunity to speak at some of them But I do agree that some of them do brainwash do do mislead. But then there are several of them out there. That are good. And if you're willing to put into work and you get stuff for people. Yeah you can really do it You know i have family. That does you know like a mary. Kay and so You know our respect them. But then there's some out there that lord jesus i run from. I don't know enough about them. Yeah yeah i feel. I feel not just wanna make sure that that we said that because i don't want someone to think. Oh he said no. No no. I'm not anybody trying to more put. Look get bradley to look in the mirror if you're gonna walk out on your family over your wife's participation in a work from home business yeah. There's something bigger going a much bigger. I they need therapy. They need help And correct me if i'm wrong. John is this even a conversation that they should start by themselves. Should they literally go to counseling in walk through that the honesty and transparency with a third party guiding him through this journey or should they try on their own so when so this is a good breakdown for the listener. When i look at something like this. And i see language like i found out how deceptive. I don't wanna waste right. He's got exit. This fake dream right. He's angry yep he's angry. Yeah in the last thing a marriage or friendship or a boss and employee they need someone to go. Try to have a relationship conversation. When they're pissed off right. So i want him to do is go. Sit with somebody by himself by himself. Angers good here is not a bad thing. Anger just point you in the direction of something you care about. Yeah it's good. Yeah but when it changes your language when it makes you get short of breath when it makes you get reiji and rage anger trapped right so when it makes you start wanting to start having fantasies about grabbing your kids and getting out of here you need to go sit down with somebody learn how to exhale and then have hard conversation with with your wife. Universe s okay. Let's say right there. Let's talk about the importance of therapy.

Josh how are you dave. Deployer the guy opinion he You guys doing great man. How can we Hey so i'm Started listening to this show. Maybe about two months ago so still relatively new to the process working to the baby steps On one step one right now More or less my my career. I have a job that pays relatively well. But i'm just not really happy. I did feel like god called me to do what. I'm doing at the time when i got the job. But it's kind of been a very difficult process I trying to figure out how to work in possibly looking for an alternate job into the baby stuff pearl jam. I guess my question and not shelf. You mean changed jobs while you're working baby steps right. Okay what do you make now right now. I'm i make about fifty a year fit five zero. Yes fifty thousand and you're how old twenty seven. What do you do. I'm a bio medical technician. So i i Repair dialysis equipment. And what what would you change to. That kind of becomes a little bit of a the thing like so i'm very social person and i very much so enjoy speaking with people and The kind of work. That i do now is very socially isolating so it I guess the the the adventures of doesn't bring joy to my heart to do what i'm doing now even nine on helping people so i wanna find something to invest in others. And i'm ready broad Personal person pretty broad. Yeah i don't know where you put it that resume in right now. You you gotta be intentional. And and it doesn't sound like you're being attention. Oh so No i don't think is a good opportunity is a good time for you to change careers. Now let's say this year need to go through. Ken coleman process right. Yeah and once you do that and you identify. I wanna work doing. I want to be one of those whatever that is or something that has these components to it whatever. That is a little more than just. I don't wanna work with machines. I wanna work with people. I get that. That's the but that does that leaves. The entire world opened that you could do. There's a lot of stuff you can do out there that that with that as your guidelines. So you're gonna get more clarity on where you're going number one and you can do that while you're working to get out of debt and once you know what that is then. We got to figure out what that pays. Now here's the deal if it pays fifty thousand dollars a year or more and you can land the job. It doesn't harm your debt snowball. at all. As a matter of fact it helps it for you to make the move if it pays thirty thousand dollars a year and you make fifty. Now now we stop and think about it maybe. Not but if it's a lateral or up move why wouldn't you. Yeah a lot of the jobs that i've been looking at would be a not not as high of an income. Do you know why because you don't have clarified. You haven't set a goal. You've just kind of generally went. I want outta here. Who's hiring well. Who's hiring entry level. Always so we need to have a little bit better clarity on your career path and this might take six months for you to lend a better job but but you're not gonna die in six months. I mean you're just you just need to see some human beings is all you're saying and you'll get there. You're gonna be fine what we don't want to sign up for ten years of doing this and doing nothing about it right right but ten months ten months you can survive while you find the right clarity But now. I don't want your moving down. I matter of fact even if you were out of bed and you just call to went. I think i want to be happy. Good move up. That's that makes you happier if they if you've found something paid one hundred thousand with people involved you'd be lot happier much. Yeah so let's do that. I mean why do we have to make the assumption that in order to be happy we have to make less. Money generally works the other way around by the way. But you know what. Dave this younger generation really. They will prefer happiness over making good but they're not independent not on the same spectrum. Unhappy are happy does not mean broke. It's not it doesn't mean you have to make less to be happy that is true. You don't you don't have to do that. You you can just find a different way to do the thing that makes you happy that the society will pay you for. I'm not saying money makes you happy but one hundred thousand is a lot easier to work with than thirty absolutely which it trust me. I'm talking about this on my show. Now it's just it can run coleman this the time i wanna i wanna have work that has meaning and great so get some work that has meaning help a whole bunch of people and get paid a lot is actually you know. I have worked as meaning. I'm doing pretty good meat and we're helping a lot of people so it's you know you don't have to be broke to be happy that our work for a which by the way is not a biblical construct. That is an irs. Guideline every nonprofit is profitable or they closed. They go broke. It's an accounting entry. It's not a holiness factor. There's no such thing you can't you know i'll guarantee you man the the The doctor that you go see is in and brings healing to. Your life is as much a ministry. Is your preacher. So good i mean. It's just that's the work is worship when done with the right motives and when you're serving and helping people so This this idea that you have to work for some entity to be holy. No it's the work you do and how you do it in the spirit you do it with and by the way if you up a whole bunch of people as our friend says they will give you certificates of radiation with presidents faces on them our love that rabbi daniel happen in the book thou shall prosper. One of our buddy says at all the time. Yeah so it's a great question. It's a great question so what we want to do in your case. Josh is attack the construct that you're dealing with which made you call and say i think i need to make less to be happy and should i do that on the debt snowball. No you shouldn't you should go make more and be happy. And then you don't even have to ask the question. Yeah i grants go to ken. Coleman dot com download some of his materials.

"An npr investigation has found that pharmacists. Working for walmart tried for years to raise the alarm about the company's sale of highly addictive opioids. walmart says it broke no laws and acted responsibly. The company faces lawsuits including a complaint. By the justice department. Walmart has been an npr underwriter which we cover like other company and npr addiction correspondent. Brian man has the story to understand. The rule pharmacists and pharmacy chains like walmart played in the opioid crisis. It helps to look at one walmart. Customer a woman named christina dine. She was in her twenties when a doctor ohio prescribed her. Large doses of powerful opioids at the highest. I was prescribed three thirty milligram. Oxy code on a day with two fifteen milligram. Koto kind of thrown in there for quote unquote breakthrough pain. Dine had been diagnosed with bositis painful but not the sort of ailment were a highly addictive narcotic is generally recommended under federal law after a doctor writes the prescription especially one like dines that poses a serious risk of addiction. The pharmacist is also required to play an important gatekeeper role. It's a big part of their job to make sure powerful drugs are only dispensed when there's a legitimate medical purpose dine. Says she had her. Opioid prescriptions filled repeatedly for two years at a number of pharmacies including her local walmart. No one warned her about the danger. I never once had a pharmacist or any other pharmacy staff question. It questioned me. Ask me any questions whatsoever. Dine became addicted to pain pills and later heroin. This was twenty twelve and at first she didn't realize she was part of an opioid epidemic. Already killing tens of thousands of people year by the time dine fell into addiction. Walmart was doing business shipping. Hundreds of millions of opioid pills every year to its chain of pharmacies. The country a shawnee sheeran is a pharmacist. Who saw this happening in walmart. Stores where he worked in rural michigan. He says there were often lines of people. When the store opened waiting to buy opioids i see that bishops. Fifteen to twenty are already lined up to get their prescriptions. Filled cheering told npr. He saw things that scared people who looked healthy. We're getting a lot of pain pills. They were traveling hundreds of miles to fill their prescriptions at his walmart store when he tried to call doctors to find out what was happening. He often couldn't get them on the phone. He was so troubled. He sent warnings to walmart's corporate headquarters in arkansas. So i send the email to walmart executive levels. And i explain them that. Their large number of controlled substance and the narcotics dispensed not for genuine purpose. Which are for distribution on the street. Cheering says nothing happened to fix the problem. And that made him angry so he kept trying warning warnings managers at walmart. Pharmacies seemed to be feeding a black market for opioid pills. They told me. Do not reach out to the da or do not. Call the police if you're going to do so your employment. Going to be terminated immediately records show sheer did contact local police and the drug enforcement administration. He was suspended by walmart. And later fired. He sued the company under a federal whistleblower. Statute a case still pending. Npr tried to ask wal mart about this. The company declined repeated interview requests and didn't respond to a list. Detailed questions it turns out sheeran wasn't the only pharmacist. Raising alarms internal company documents made public in lawsuits against walmart. Show pharmacists all over. The country kept warning. Company executives about opioids and about pill mill doctors sending patients to walmart. There was no oversight from a top of out the over dispensing of controlled substances. This is a pharmacist. Who worked for walmart in the south. Who says he left a couple of years ago voluntarily take another job. Npr agreed not to use his name because he fears a family member. Still employed by walmart. Could face retribution. He says walmart pharmacies kept doing business with doctors. Even when there were clear signs. Things weren't right. They were primary care doctors. They weren't like paint management doctors. They weren't oncologists and they were prescribing. Large amounts of opiates now again as part of their gatekeeper role. All pharmacists have the authority to reject suspicious. Prescriptions and walmart points out in public statements. This does happen at its pharmacies but as walmart shipped and sold hundreds of millions of pills a year industry experts in the pharmacists. Npr interviewed said. There was enormous pressure at walmart to say yes to dispense opioid pills quickly. You know they the walmart didn't make it so that it was easy for you to say no or to do the right thing. Another thing. we've learned from court documents filed in lawsuits against walmart. Is that pharmacists. Weren't the only ones raising alarms. Federal regulators also kept telling walmart it system for managing opioids and keeping patients. Safe wasn't good enough under pressure from the. Da walmart signed an agreement.
