Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: M question the first Thing Today by Joe Thomas on
- 0:23Speaker 1: the Tunk Media Network, All natural and free of artificial intelligence, Jewart.
- 0:29Speaker 2: Said, steal me a step.
- 0:31Speaker 3: You have a day at least for work, when the
- 0:34Speaker 3: sun comes up, drops a kid to school.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Not in the way.
- 0:39Speaker 3: Joey has everything a dream, do all the treasures and
- 0:42Speaker 3: needs no one that Joe's all smiled, he all the AIGs.
- 0:50Speaker 2: Never be Joe, thank you for letting us be of
- 0:53Speaker 2: service to you this morning.
- 0:55Speaker 4: I want to be.
- 0:57Speaker 2: Time flies when you're having fun or when you're to
- 1:00Speaker 2: make sure you're not violating any illegal orders. By the way,
- 1:03Speaker 2: quick note to a Lease Slotkin and the rest of
- 1:07Speaker 2: the congressional video makers, it's already in the oath of
- 1:14Speaker 2: a soldier in America's military. And you may not know
- 1:18Speaker 2: this that they're not bound to follow any As a
- 1:24Speaker 2: matter of fact, they're actually sworn to specifically violate and
- 1:28Speaker 2: to not follow any illegal orders. And I'm sure Eleas
- 1:34Speaker 2: Slotkin didn't know this because you know, it was fun.
- 1:37Speaker 2: We all like to make our TikTok videos, right you do?
- 1:41Speaker 2: I do? You know everyone's got you know, a little
- 1:43Speaker 2: social media. They want to get their social media swerth
- 1:47Speaker 2: on or whatever it is that they want to do,
- 1:49Speaker 2: and you know, quick hits and all that. Just just
- 1:53Speaker 2: a quick reminder because you know, if a Republican had
- 1:59Speaker 2: done something so boneheaded as to go out there and
- 2:03Speaker 2: insist somebody do something that already is part of their
- 2:08Speaker 2: oath of office, you know you absolutely can guarantee without
- 2:15Speaker 2: a shadow of a doubt that somebody in you know,
- 2:19Speaker 2: at MS now is that what they're calling themselves now,
- 2:22Speaker 2: it's MS NOW. I know that that was the whole thing,
- 2:26Speaker 2: was the rebranding and blah blah blah blah blah blah.
- 2:29Speaker 2: But you know that somebody at MS NOW would be
- 2:32Speaker 2: on that proverbially like White on Rice to call out
- 2:37Speaker 2: how oh Lork Donald Trump doesn't know anything about the
- 2:41Speaker 2: military because he didn't serve. Just just a quick note
- 2:47Speaker 2: as we begin this morning, and I'm sure this, this
- 2:49Speaker 2: whole flap that has consumed most of the oxygen out
- 2:53Speaker 2: of the newsrooms of America over the weekend, will continue
- 2:57Speaker 2: to do so on the phone today. Not that it's
- 3:00Speaker 2: not that it has you know, inappropriate place there, but
- 3:04Speaker 2: there's so much going on that we need to chronicle
- 3:09Speaker 2: for you, and we will because that's what we do here,
- 3:13Speaker 2: we tell you what went on after fulfilling that mission,
- 3:19Speaker 2: we'll analyze what we see amongst the debris field of
- 3:23Speaker 2: what went on. And then more importantly, I want to
- 3:26Speaker 2: find out how it's impacting you where you are, here
- 3:29Speaker 2: we are, and you do that at four three four
- 3:33Speaker 2: eight eight two four two one seven. Text message very
- 3:37Speaker 2: very popular because mornings are a cacophony of last minute
- 3:41Speaker 2: stuff to do everything that got put off over a weekend.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Monday morning is probably more so than anything else because
- 3:47Speaker 2: you have Saturday and Sunday's putoffs. Yeah, I'll get to
- 3:52Speaker 2: get to that a little bit. Yeah, just I'll deal
- 3:55Speaker 2: with that a little bit. Now, Monday morning is here
- 3:57Speaker 2: and that little bit is here, and you've got to
- 4:01Speaker 2: deal with some of this stuff. And if you're wrapping
- 4:03Speaker 2: up a Sunday night, same thing is true because you
- 4:07Speaker 2: know the deadline approaches, so so much going on. Let's
- 4:13Speaker 2: begin our first things. This morning, President Trump is expected
- 4:18Speaker 2: to announce a plan aimed at curbing rising health care costs.
- 4:23Speaker 2: He's urging Congress to what No, just because we were
- 4:27Speaker 2: talking about the video doesn't mean we're going to That's
- 4:29Speaker 2: not our lead story. Health care costs that is, he's
- 4:34Speaker 2: looking to send legislation back to his desk that would
- 4:38Speaker 2: prevent premium spikes under the Affordable Care Act. Now, those
- 4:42Speaker 2: premium spikes will be driven by the expiration of subsidies
- 4:46Speaker 2: that were first applied during COVID nineteen. Meanwhile, a quartet
- 4:51Speaker 2: of bipartisan House members, two Republicans and two Democrats. The
- 4:56Speaker 2: Republicans are Jeff Heard of Colorado and Don Bacon of Nebraska,
- 5:01Speaker 2: along with Tom Slosey of New York and Josh Gottheimer
- 5:05Speaker 2: of New Jersey, have a compromise bill that will extend
- 5:09Speaker 2: the subsidies two more years to give Congress more time to,
- 5:13Speaker 2: I presume, do what they haven't done over the last
- 5:16Speaker 2: four and a half years since the subsidies went into effect. Meanwhile,
- 5:22Speaker 2: former Freedom Concuss chair Bob Good told The First Thing
- 5:27Speaker 2: Today on Friday, he sees.
- 5:30Speaker 5: I think that there's enough Republicans who believe in big
- 5:33Speaker 5: government and government as the nanty provider, that they'll put
- 5:37Speaker 5: pressure on the Speaker and on the Senate leader. And
- 5:40Speaker 5: I think President Trump will also end up calling for
- 5:42Speaker 5: a deal because they're fearful about the midterms instead of
- 5:45Speaker 5: taking this opportunity to your point to actually do something
- 5:49Speaker 5: better for the American people and to get government out
- 5:53Speaker 5: of the healthcare business and eliminate subsidies and welfare in
- 5:57Speaker 5: healthcare and health insurance.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday that discussions over
- 6:03Speaker 2: the weekend in Genevas, Switzerland over ending the war in
- 6:06Speaker 2: Ukraine have entered a productive phase, claiming, quote, a tremendous
- 6:11Speaker 2: amount of progress has been made. A very good day today.
- 6:15Speaker 2: We had a very good day. I think we made
- 6:17Speaker 2: a tremendous amount of progress, even from the last time
- 6:20Speaker 2: I spoke with them. President Trump intensified his criticism of
- 6:24Speaker 2: the Democrat lawmakers led by Elish Slotkin, who last week
- 6:29Speaker 2: urged military personnel to disregard illegal orders, which they're already
- 6:36Speaker 2: sworn to do. He called them traders and said they
- 6:39Speaker 2: should be in jail right now. Vice President J. D.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Vance also took issues with this, calling it sedition and
- 6:47Speaker 2: insurrection and potentially a presidential coup. Those are some of
- 6:52Speaker 2: our Monday morning first things. So the Turkey thawing. Yet,
- 7:01Speaker 2: you know a lot.
- 7:01Speaker 6: Of times you have to choose between something high quality or.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Something that saves you money.
- 7:07Speaker 2: But what if you could get both.
- 7:08Speaker 6: Why not, especially when it comes to healthcare, and that
- 7:11Speaker 6: is meta share.
- 7:12Speaker 1: You get both.
- 7:13Speaker 6: Many families save five hundred bucks a month with meta
- 7:17Speaker 6: share and that's huge. But it's also true that people
- 7:19Speaker 6: wind up way more satisfied too, and we know this
- 7:22Speaker 6: from research of members. There's a lot they like about medshare,
- 7:25Speaker 6: but especially they love being part of something they believe in,
- 7:29Speaker 6: and metashare works too. It has for more than thirty years.
- 7:33Speaker 6: There are hundreds of thousands of members who love having telehealth.
- 7:37Speaker 1: If they need it.
- 7:38Speaker 6: They love the huge Ppo network. You could save a
- 7:40Speaker 6: ton and like it better. Imagine being happy with how
- 7:43Speaker 6: you're taking care of your health care. So if you're
- 7:46Speaker 6: self employed, or you're part of the gig economy, or
- 7:48Speaker 6: you just want a plan you're happy with, you can
- 7:50Speaker 6: call right now and get a price in two minutes.
- 7:52Speaker 6: Here's the number. Call eight five five share forty.
- 7:55Speaker 2: That's eight five five share forty. Eight five five share.
- 8:04Speaker 7: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13Speaker 7: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 7: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 7: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 7: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 7: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 7: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 7: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 7: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 10:01Speaker 4: up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 4: I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 4: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 4: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 4: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 4: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:17Speaker 4: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 4: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search

- 10:25Speaker 4: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets

- 10:32Speaker 4: perform life saving work every day.

- 10:36Speaker 4: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
- 10:39Speaker 4: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change.
- 10:42Speaker 1: In their blood chemistry.
- 10:43Speaker 4: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
- 10:45Speaker 4: contribute to society and help those in need. So please

- 13:14Speaker 1: From the home of the First Amendment, first thing today,
- 13:17Speaker 1: he would set.
- 13:18Speaker 12: About disrupting the class by attracting attention to yourself.
- 13:25Speaker 1: That is the name of this job. You know, It's
- 13:27Speaker 1: called digny.
- 13:29Speaker 2: The city.
- 13:32Speaker 7: From the city you.
- 13:35Speaker 2: Know and you know this when when Alissa Slotkin, even
- 13:41Speaker 2: in the face of getting the attention she wanted when
- 13:44Speaker 2: she made the video telling military service members to I
- 13:49Speaker 2: don't know, fulfill their oath of service to the country.
- 13:53Speaker 2: But but even then she's on ABC getting the attention
- 13:58Speaker 2: she is so desperately for herself. And you can tell
- 14:02Speaker 2: right away this isn't about the military or anything else.
- 14:07Speaker 2: It's about getting her on cameras so she can say
- 14:09Speaker 2: things like who.
- 14:11Speaker 16: Ran on lowering costs for American.
- 14:14Speaker 2: And when even the anchor, when even ABC's anchor can't
- 14:26Speaker 2: allow her to just dodge the whole.
- 14:31Speaker 16: Video issue, President, who ran on lowering costs for American?
- 14:35Speaker 17: But you changed the subject with that video as well.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Sure, because it's about attracting attention to yourself and we're
- 14:45Speaker 2: not going to give her a lot of it. But listen,
- 14:48Speaker 2: listen to how nitwitted this all becomes. And here's what
- 14:53Speaker 2: White House presents. And trust me, I speak to you
- 14:56Speaker 2: from the middle of an industry where saying dance hall stuff,
- 15:01Speaker 2: making dancehall comments is what we're taught to do because
- 15:09Speaker 2: as the ultimate in radio consultants, George Carlin once told.
- 15:16Speaker 3: Us, you had set about disrupting the class by attracting
- 15:21Speaker 3: attention to yourself.
- 15:23Speaker 2: That's what it is. So believe me, I know what
- 15:25Speaker 2: I'm talking about. When I hear somebody who win pressed
- 15:29Speaker 2: or like, well, I mean, I don't have any pro
- 15:31Speaker 2: Listen to.
- 15:31Speaker 18: This Secretary Caroline Levitt said about your video.
- 15:37Speaker 19: They're suggesting Nancy that the president has given illegal orders,
- 15:41Speaker 19: which he has not. Every single order that is given
- 15:44Speaker 19: to this United States military by this commander in chief
- 15:47Speaker 19: and through this chain of command, through the Secretary of
- 15:50Speaker 19: War is lawful.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Is that an accurate statement?
- 15:53Speaker 20: So?
- 15:54Speaker 16: I think the reason we put that statement out is
- 15:56Speaker 16: because the sheer number of frankly young officers who are
- 15:59Speaker 16: coming to us saying, I just am not sure what
- 16:02Speaker 16: do I do. You know, I'm in southcom and I'm
- 16:05Speaker 16: involved in the National Guard. I'm just not sure what.
- 16:08Speaker 20: Do I do.
- 16:09Speaker 2: So now Elissa Slotkin is saying our commanding officers in
- 16:14Speaker 2: coming out of West Point or Annapolis or Colorado Springs
- 16:19Speaker 2: are stupid. So instead of saying that our commander in
- 16:25Speaker 2: chief is giving illegal orders, Alyssa Slotkin, if I'm not mistaken,
- 16:29Speaker 2: just told the nation or the ten or fifteen people
- 16:32Speaker 2: that were watching ABC News at the time that it's
- 16:35Speaker 2: not so much that the president's giving illegal orders, it's
- 16:38Speaker 2: the commanders that we graduate from our military academies are stupid.
- 16:46Speaker 18: Is that an accurate statement?
- 16:47Speaker 13: So?
- 16:48Speaker 16: I think the reason we put that statement out is
- 16:50Speaker 16: because the sheer number of frankly young officers who are
- 16:53Speaker 16: coming to us and saying, I just am not sure
- 16:56Speaker 16: what do I do. You know, I'm in southcom and
- 16:58Speaker 16: I'm involved in the National Guard. I'm just not sure
- 17:02Speaker 16: what do I do? And I think, look, you don't
- 17:05Speaker 16: have to take my word for it. We've had report
- 17:07Speaker 16: after report of legal officer JAG officers coming forward and saying, look,
- 17:11Speaker 16: I push back on this, I'm not sure that this
- 17:13Speaker 16: is legal.
- 17:14Speaker 2: So even the Army's lawyers, and trust me, I have
- 17:18Speaker 2: some close friends who are probably right now driving to
- 17:24Speaker 2: the JAG school. Because the JAG school, where all of
- 17:27Speaker 2: our judge advocate general lawyers are taught, happens to be
- 17:32Speaker 2: adjunct to the University of Virginia Law School in Charlottesville.
- 17:39Speaker 2: So all the people, apparently the lawyers that we're teaching
- 17:44Speaker 2: how to conduct military law. Because it is separate as
- 17:50Speaker 2: driven by our Bill of Rights, there is a different
- 17:54Speaker 2: definition of justice within the military services. Those judge Advocate
- 18:01Speaker 2: general officers Alyssa Slotkin has also put forth now are also.
- 18:07Speaker 16: Stupid, and I think, look, you don't have to take
- 18:10Speaker 16: my word for it.
- 18:11Speaker 2: We've had but I'm going to expect you to report after.
- 18:14Speaker 16: Report of legal officer JAG officers coming forward and saying, look,
- 18:18Speaker 16: I push back on this. I'm not sure that this.
- 18:20Speaker 1: Is legal.
- 18:22Speaker 2: Because I only went to law school and then extra
- 18:27Speaker 2: law school and then more law school, and I'm not
- 18:31Speaker 2: sure it's Oh god, it's just, oh my goodness, I
- 18:37Speaker 2: just had to have a Walter Cronkite moment. I just
- 18:40Speaker 2: took my glasses off and threw him on my counter.
- 18:44Speaker 2: It just and I want to stop giving her attention
- 18:49Speaker 2: for this, And honestly, I wish the President would have
- 18:53Speaker 2: just said, this is just somebody who's just so attention
- 18:57Speaker 2: starved that she's going to say something Dancehall, say something
- 19:06Speaker 2: completely egregious for one simple reason attracting attention to yourself.
- 19:15Speaker 2: So let's stop. I know you probably want to talk
- 19:18Speaker 2: about it, and I understand that, and I'm not going
- 19:21Speaker 2: to deny you the opportunity to talk about it, but
- 19:24Speaker 2: I'm done talking about it. There's so much more going
- 19:28Speaker 2: on here in the world in local I mean, just
- 19:34Speaker 2: a couple of things, you know, and silly stuff. But
- 19:37Speaker 2: we continue while these guys in Washington are distracting us.
- 19:48Speaker 2: You know, more of your tax money is being spent
- 19:50Speaker 2: on things like, you know, payoffs to downtown businesses. There's
- 19:55Speaker 2: a Colorado Springs story. I saw more of these tax
- 20:02Speaker 2: increment financing scams. Commissioner of the NFL putting the last,
- 20:08Speaker 2: you know, quote unquote ceremonially putting the last steel beam.
- 20:12Speaker 2: I doubt Roger Goodell's ever laid pipe or or or
- 20:18Speaker 2: steel girders for that matter, but you know, Roger Goodell
- 20:22Speaker 2: in Tennessee putting the last in building a beautiful new
- 20:28Speaker 2: stadium for a one in six football team. Look at
- 20:31Speaker 2: the palace we're building for this one and six football
- 20:34Speaker 2: team that might lose to the University of Georgia if
- 20:37Speaker 2: it played it. They said, oh, look at all we're
- 20:40Speaker 2: gonna get. We're gonna we probably will have a super
- 20:43Speaker 2: Bowl here in Nashville. Well, you know, does Nashville need
- 20:47Speaker 2: the Super Bowl? I mean, you know, can you imagine
- 20:52Speaker 2: a bunch of a week or two weeks worth of
- 20:54Speaker 2: NFL football fans trying to squeeze in, and amongst all
- 20:58Speaker 2: the bridal parties that are they're filling up the vans
- 21:02Speaker 2: full of you know, the glass sided vans that drive
- 21:05Speaker 2: up and down Nashville drunk bridesmaids. It's not just me.
- 21:13Speaker 2: I saw the there was a comedy special I saw
- 21:19Speaker 2: last night, brand New one and talking about Nashville and
- 21:24Speaker 2: the buses full of bridesmaids. But you know, all of
- 21:28Speaker 2: this taxpayer spending. This is where your money is going

- 23:06Speaker 22: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
- 23:11Speaker 22: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
- 23:16Speaker 22: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
- 23:20Speaker 22: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
- 23:25Speaker 22: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
- 23:31Speaker 22: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
- 23:35Speaker 22: on patients, but, as with any new technology, always keep
- 23:40Speaker 22: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
- 23:44Speaker 22: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for

- 24:07Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 24:12Speaker 7: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 7: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 7: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 7: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 7: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 7: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 7: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:19Speaker 2: Today, Tucker Carlson out there trying to launder his reputation
- 28:34Speaker 2: in this flap that is still a conflagration, as only
- 28:38Speaker 2: these dumpster arsonists can do. You know these people who
- 28:44Speaker 2: say the most egregious racist things, and then you throw
- 28:50Speaker 2: a bunch of reasonable stuff as if they went to
- 28:53Speaker 2: the library and say, can I get a bunch of
- 28:55Speaker 2: reasonable conservative points because I'm about to say something racist
- 28:59Speaker 2: and anti Semitic and I want some cover. So Tucker
- 29:04Speaker 2: Carlson out on everybody else's podcast but his own, trying
- 29:07Speaker 2: to launder his reputation. Then he goes and hosts Marjorie
- 29:11Speaker 2: Taylor Green, who says.
- 29:12Speaker 17: This, since I've become a member of Congress, since twenty
- 29:16Speaker 17: twenty one, we have voted on twenty two resolutions for Israel,
- 29:21Speaker 17: twenty two of them. We never vote on resolutions proclaiming
- 29:26Speaker 17: great things about America.
- 29:28Speaker 2: You mean, aside from the Declaration of Independence in the
- 29:31Speaker 2: US Constitution, And the last time I checked, there's still
- 29:35Speaker 2: in effect. Right, there's a continuing resolution on the floor
- 29:39Speaker 2: regarding the Bill of Rights. Correct. And I'm trying to
- 29:46Speaker 2: prep you because I know if you have been invited
- 29:50Speaker 2: to any family gatherings for Thanksgiving, this is the stuff
- 29:53Speaker 2: and it will inevitably be the people who will tell
- 29:57Speaker 2: you during little Facebook group chats play the Thanksgiving affair.
- 30:03Speaker 18: I just want to make sure we don't have any
- 30:05Speaker 18: political fights, all right, this year. It's taking me this
- 30:10Speaker 18: long just to get the mashed potatoes and the marshmallows
- 30:14Speaker 18: and the yams off the wall from last year.
- 30:19Speaker 2: And inevitably aren't they, without question, they're the ones who
- 30:23Speaker 2: bring up something.
- 30:25Speaker 18: What about Marjorie Taylor Grant Ha, Mister Concervo, ha, do
- 30:29Speaker 18: you say to her?
- 30:33Speaker 2: And in The trouble with all this is this attracting
- 30:37Speaker 2: your attention to yourself. Stuff distracts from real things, like Okay,
- 30:43Speaker 2: you want to have a debate about something. And part
- 30:46Speaker 2: of our society is being driven into this mania by
- 30:51Speaker 2: this idea that if you allow somebody to have a
- 30:54Speaker 2: differing opinion than you do, you have somehow adopted that
- 30:58Speaker 2: opinion of your own. Is the government too big? Yeah?
- 31:09Speaker 2: Is the spending too big?
- 31:11Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 31:13Speaker 2: Is sometimes going into the wrong pockets? Yeah? Like this
- 31:18Speaker 2: Phoenix TV anchor Cockraage, did you see this story? I mean,
- 31:24Speaker 2: she was convicted back in the summer, but she just
- 31:27Speaker 2: got sentenced to ten years in Gilaine Maxwell's cell, but
- 31:35Speaker 2: she's doing her Orange is the new Black thing in
- 31:38Speaker 2: the same prison slash spa that Gallayne Maxwell is in
- 31:44Speaker 2: because she was part of a multimillion dollar fraud scheme
- 31:48Speaker 2: revolving around COVID nineteen, because she had fraudulently and helped
- 31:56Speaker 2: fraudulently file documents to get COVID money and successfully too,
- 32:11Speaker 2: I believe. According to federal prosecutors, Hockridge and her husband,
- 32:15Speaker 2: Nathan Reese obtained over three hundred thousand dollars in payroll
- 32:21Speaker 2: protection program loans for themselves, including one application that falsely
- 32:26Speaker 2: claimed that he was a veteran and an African American.
- 32:31Speaker 2: The coupleles Scottsdale, Arizona based fintech firm Blue Acorn, which
- 32:38Speaker 2: they co founded and twenty twenty processed over twelve point
- 32:42Speaker 2: five billion dollars in paycheck protection loans and somewhere between
- 32:47Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty million and three hundred million going
- 32:50Speaker 2: to the company's ownership, including Honkreage. Blue Acorn promoted their
- 32:57Speaker 2: services as helping businesses get paycheck Protection Plan loans, and
- 33:08Speaker 2: within her defense, it was a commission not necessarily a
- 33:12Speaker 2: fraudulent loan that they were getting. And then of course
- 33:16Speaker 2: documents came out that said, you know, they actually were
- 33:18Speaker 2: trying to get pay paycheck protection plan loans and I
- 33:21Speaker 2: don't know if your business was turned down. One of
- 33:24Speaker 2: the business I was working for was turned down for
- 33:27Speaker 2: a paycheck Protection Plan loan. I was going to lose
- 33:30Speaker 2: my job under over COVID because a legitimate company trying
- 33:36Speaker 2: to deliver news to its community apparently either and I'm
- 33:42Speaker 2: not working with these folks anymore, so I have to,
- 33:45Speaker 2: you know, be careful of how I present this somehow
- 33:48Speaker 2: managed to fail to get the second round of paycheck
- 33:52Speaker 2: Protection Plan loans. I'm not sure how you know. All
- 33:57Speaker 2: I know is I was told, hey, lay officers are
- 34:00Speaker 2: coming if we don't get a paycheck Protection Plan loan.
- 34:06Speaker 2: So Hockridge is one of these folks who's out there
- 34:12Speaker 2: literally stealing from the government. We told you Friday, more
- 34:17Speaker 2: people stealing from the government because they create these big bureaucracies.
- 34:22Speaker 2: These big bureaucracies are not good at the minutia. They're
- 34:31Speaker 2: seeing a million pieces of paper and ask professors Cloward
- 34:37Speaker 2: and Piven, you want to collapse a system, overwhelm it.
- 34:44Speaker 2: So all these big bureaucracies, the Affordable Care Act subsidies
- 34:49Speaker 2: that we were talking about in the first things this morning,
- 34:56Speaker 2: that are are rife with fraud all over the place,
- 35:00Speaker 2: and yet we continue to give them. We continue to
- 35:03Speaker 2: give them to people. Why because we're Freddy scared of saying, hey, maybe, oh,
- 35:11Speaker 2: do we have the Tennessee story about the guy. I mean,
- 35:16Speaker 2: we've grown so casual. As long as we beep it out,
- 35:18Speaker 2: the guy can express bovine excrement on the evening news.
- 35:22Speaker 2: At least in Tennessee they can. We'll get to that
- 35:24Speaker 2: in a moment. We've got folks on the line here
- 35:27Speaker 2: at four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
- 35:30Speaker 2: You're on with Joe Thomas. First thing this morning. Who's this?
- 35:34Speaker 26: Good morning, Joe.
- 35:35Speaker 1: It's Joel.
- 35:36Speaker 2: Hey, Joel, Happy Monday. What's going on?
- 35:38Speaker 26: Happy Monday? I wanted to bring this up. I saw
- 35:41Speaker 26: an article about Wyoming. One of the sheriffs he works alongside.
- 35:48Speaker 26: I guess with the Wyoming Uh, I guess DMV. I
- 35:54Speaker 26: don't know what it is for trucks, but but they
- 35:57Speaker 26: actually pulled over one hundred and thirty three trucks, you know,
- 36:00Speaker 26: step because I guess, you know, going through the way
- 36:03Speaker 26: stations and all that. And I've never been to Wyoming
- 36:06Speaker 26: and heard it's beautiful.
- 36:08Speaker 1: But out of that one.
- 36:10Speaker 26: Hundred and thirty three, forty of them were illegal aliens
- 36:14Speaker 26: and couldn't even couldn't even most of them couldn't even
- 36:17Speaker 26: speak English. They didn't even have proper driving documentation even
- 36:23Speaker 26: to drive, and yet they were operating an eighty or
- 36:26Speaker 26: one hundred thousand pounds vehicle and.
- 36:29Speaker 1: Is this is this what?
- 36:31Speaker 12: And so that's that's.
- 36:32Speaker 26: Thirty percent of the driving force that was going that
- 36:36Speaker 26: they had just stopped, and that I guess in that
- 36:38Speaker 26: part of Wyoming, But this is all over America, and
- 36:44Speaker 26: and I don't know why there's an objection to bringing
- 36:48Speaker 26: safety back. That's like closing the borders, making sure people
- 36:52Speaker 26: are qualified to do what they're supposed to do. Yet
- 36:56Speaker 26: we have people that are in our government that aren't
- 36:58Speaker 26: qualified to be doing what they's supposed to do. They're
- 37:01Speaker 26: just there as a figurehead elected by it. Probably I
- 37:05Speaker 26: would say ignorant public the things because they opened their
- 37:10Speaker 26: pie hole and spew out words, but they're not proving
- 37:13Speaker 26: themselves with with their position. I mean, most of them.
- 37:18Speaker 26: But I just wanted to bring that up because what
- 37:20Speaker 26: if that were you on the operating table or somebody
- 37:23Speaker 26: in the operating table they go, well, you know, I
- 37:27Speaker 26: just today I became a doctor.
- 37:29Speaker 2: Well I don't know. I mean, you know, I'm not
- 37:31Speaker 2: going to conflate being a doctor to being a tractor
- 37:33Speaker 2: trailer driver. But you know, you can get killed pretty
- 37:36Speaker 2: easily by the efforts of a tractor trailer driver. We
- 37:39Speaker 2: saw that in Florida. We see California. Do you see
- 37:43Speaker 2: the stunning number of people in California that are you know,
- 37:46Speaker 2: that have you know, seventeen seventeen million people you know
- 37:53Speaker 2: with with fake documentation getting CDL licenses. I mean, it's
- 38:00Speaker 2: just amazing.
- 38:01Speaker 23: According to a new report from Discovery Education, ninety two
- 38:04Speaker 23: percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
- 38:08Speaker 23: and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
- 38:11Speaker 23: critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
- 38:15Speaker 23: but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
- 38:18Speaker 23: student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
- 38:22Speaker 23: students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
- 38:26Speaker 23: forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
- 38:28Speaker 23: principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
- 38:33Speaker 23: the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
- 38:37Speaker 23: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
- 38:41Speaker 23: while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
- 38:44Speaker 23: assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
- 38:49Speaker 23: students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
- 38:52Speaker 23: yet fewer than half of teachers report using AI themselves
- 38:55Speaker 23: to complete tasks. Visit Discovery education dot com to learn

- 43:23Speaker 2: Can I get a mulligan ready to go?

- 43:29Speaker 15: Yeah?
- 43:30Speaker 2: I'm pretty sober.
- 43:32Speaker 18: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:35Speaker 2: Probably okay.

- 44:12Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
- 44:17Speaker 1: the second most famous Thomas and Charlottesville.
- 44:21Speaker 20: Eras in the Union, Chicago, New York featured in its
- 44:26Speaker 20: own the Same Street.
- 44:35Speaker 2: Here we are and tomorrow.
- 44:39Speaker 29: She is too closed, New Beaumont, at least Greenwich, Connecticut.
- 44:49Speaker 2: You're on the first Thing Today, Joel we were ran
- 44:54Speaker 2: up against a break there talking about these truckers without
- 44:58Speaker 2: documentation in a the fact that you met on this.
- 45:02Speaker 2: I appreciate you hanging on their Joel Forrest, but your point,
- 45:06Speaker 2: I mean, it's about carrying.
- 45:09Speaker 26: I'm voting too. I mean, look at voting to you.
- 45:12Speaker 2: I mean, once you've let them drive a tractor trailer,
- 45:14Speaker 2: how much more dangerous could voting be. I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
- 45:18Speaker 2: I'm just saying.
- 45:20Speaker 26: It's all about qualifications and making sure you have the documentary.
- 45:25Speaker 2: No, Joel, Joel, It's about caring, it's about carrying. These
- 45:31Speaker 2: are people, well you know, and people want to be
- 45:35Speaker 2: you know people, and you've got to give them the
- 45:37Speaker 2: right to follow their dreams, like driving a tractor trailer.
- 45:42Speaker 2: You know, you you if you wanted to drive a
- 45:45Speaker 2: tractor trailer, you've got to get a company to sponsor
- 45:47Speaker 2: you and put you through their training program, and then
- 45:50Speaker 2: you have to work for that company for a bunch
- 45:52Speaker 2: of years, usually somewhere around seven years. But that's not
- 45:55Speaker 2: indentured servitude. They've taught you how to drive a tractor trailer,
- 45:59Speaker 2: and then you can lead to go try to find
- 46:00Speaker 2: a job at another company that was called by your
- 46:03Speaker 2: previous company to say, hey, don't hire this this ingreat.
- 46:08Speaker 2: He just took all of our training and now wants
- 46:10Speaker 2: to come work for you at your a dewey pile.
- 46:14Speaker 26: I mean, it seems like we have all this technology right,
- 46:18Speaker 26: and and things just seem like theyk the more. It
- 46:22Speaker 26: seems like the more technology we have, the less we know.
- 46:26Speaker 2: Well, because we're counting on the technology to know it
- 46:29Speaker 2: for us, I'll enter at least slotkin back into the
- 46:35Speaker 2: discussion for that, Joel. It's crazy, you know, but we're
- 46:39Speaker 2: counting on technology to care for us, or just as
- 46:41Speaker 2: much as we're counting on politicians to care for us,
- 46:45Speaker 2: and they're not capable of it, because it's not I mean,
- 46:49Speaker 2: it's it's a fool's Errand to say a politician is
- 46:52Speaker 2: going to care about us because they're just there to
- 46:55Speaker 2: care for their election. That's their job is to keep
- 46:59Speaker 2: getting elected so they can move money around. I mean,
- 47:03Speaker 2: it wasn't originally their job, but it's grown into that.
- 47:06Speaker 2: And and part of that is to convince you that
- 47:08Speaker 2: by voting for them, you've done good. You've you've voted
- 47:13Speaker 2: for me, and that's your public service. You can go
- 47:15Speaker 2: now back to watching the NFL game tonight, and feel
- 47:19Speaker 2: good that you've done a public service by sending Senator
- 47:21Speaker 2: to what's his face back to the US Senate.
- 47:25Speaker 26: And now people are using AI to I guess, talk
- 47:28Speaker 26: to Jesus instead of actually talking to Jesus.
- 47:32Speaker 2: I don't know what AI you're looking at, Joel, But
- 47:35Speaker 2: the AI that I have seen, likely they're talking to
- 47:39Speaker 2: the more likely they're talking to the other guy than Jesus.
- 47:43Speaker 2: Clarks hanging on the line with us as well this
- 47:45Speaker 2: morning at four three, four eight eight two four to
- 47:48Speaker 2: two one seven. What's going on, Doc, Well, let's see.
- 47:53Speaker 28: I think we're gonna have to change Marjorie's name after
- 47:57Speaker 28: this little bit right here.
- 47:58Speaker 2: Joe, Okay, so.
- 48:03Speaker 28: This is a principal thing. She's resigning, that's what she says.
- 48:08Speaker 28: She's a principal person. When is she leaving? Effective day?
- 48:12Speaker 28: When is she leaving?
- 48:13Speaker 17: Joe?
- 48:14Speaker 2: January fifth?
- 48:16Speaker 28: Why January the fifth?
- 48:19Speaker 2: I believe it has swearing in implications. And it's.
- 48:27Speaker 28: Remember when Navan Johnson walking out on Bernadette Peters. I
- 48:34Speaker 28: don't need you, I don't need anybody. I don't need anything.
- 48:38Speaker 2: Except this battle game.
- 48:41Speaker 28: Now Marjorie is walking out, and she says, I'm principal,
- 48:47Speaker 28: I resign. I won't be here under these conditions. I
- 48:52Speaker 28: don't need you. I don't need anything. I need this pension.
- 48:58Speaker 2: Oh that's right, you know. Another year into her about that's. Oh, yes,
- 49:02Speaker 2: you're right, because you and they changed the rule so
- 49:07Speaker 2: that you didn't get a full pension after just one term.
- 49:10Speaker 2: But it's still you're right. It's the pension implications.
- 49:16Speaker 28: She's Marjorine Navan Jackson Taylor Green.
- 49:20Speaker 2: From now on, Joe, Marjorie Naven Green, I don't need anybody.
- 49:26Speaker 28: I need this pension. I need to SMBC gig.
- 49:30Speaker 30: But other than that, I don't need anything.
- 49:34Speaker 2: Well, you know, if you can't stand on principle, what
- 49:37Speaker 2: can you fall for?
- 49:39Speaker 12: James Tomy?
- 49:41Speaker 2: You know what he thought, Joe, that he was the
- 49:45Speaker 2: king of the world.
- 49:45Speaker 28: The prosecutor would bring charges against them.
- 49:49Speaker 30: Yep, well I guess he missed underestimated what reasonable prosecutors
- 49:59Speaker 30: would do.
- 50:00Speaker 2: Truth.
- 50:04Speaker 28: You know, if I had skills, i'd just like I
- 50:07Speaker 28: have to edit Steve Martin and the walking out saying.
- 50:12Speaker 2: Well, you know, James Comy and his family, are we done?
- 50:16Speaker 2: By the way, can we get a quick check. Are
- 50:18Speaker 2: we done purging James Comy's family members from the Department
- 50:22Speaker 2: of Justice and the fbion. I mean, every time I
- 50:25Speaker 2: turn around, there's another James Komy story. It's coupled with
- 50:28Speaker 2: and James Comy's third cousin is quit the Department of Justice.
- 50:32Speaker 2: I mean, how many Komy family members? You know, we're
- 50:35Speaker 2: working for the federal government. My god, it was like
- 50:38Speaker 2: he had his own personal Thanksgiving dinner.
- 50:43Speaker 28: The incestuousness of all of it. Remember the number of
- 50:48Speaker 28: Black Rock people that were in the precinity of the
- 50:53Speaker 28: auto pen. Oh yeah, maybe they controlled the auto tick.
- 51:00Speaker 24: Oh no, No.
- 51:05Speaker 28: I saw where the FBI had determined that the shooter
- 51:11Speaker 28: acted alone, and it occurred to me that this was
- 51:14Speaker 28: the same FBI the promulgated cross Fire Hurricane. So I
- 51:21Speaker 28: don't know what to think.
- 51:22Speaker 2: I believe that I saw a piece that said fifty
- 51:25Speaker 2: intelligence analysts all said that they agreed that the kid
- 51:31Speaker 2: and butler acted alone. So they they read it on
- 51:34Speaker 2: a laptop somewhere.
- 51:37Speaker 28: Well, James Cummy wasn't so tied up, you'd have had
- 51:40Speaker 28: fifty one of them.
- 51:42Speaker 2: Good stuff, Doctor Clark, You have a great morning, sir.
