"About False Idols" (Friday, December 26 2025, Hour 4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you all this question.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: We're supposed to leave at the Bertie Sanders an alec
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Alexandri Coscio QUOTEXT on.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Your to do list, putting the radio on is the
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: first thing today, Jewort.
• 0:12
  Speaker 4: Said, steal me step.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: You have a day at least for work.
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: When the sun comes up, drops a kid.
• 0:19
  Speaker 5: Just good night.
• 0:22
  Speaker 6: Joe has a thing agenda all the JERSU sees.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: No one that Joe's smiled.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: He on the eggs, Joe, thank you for letting us
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: be of service to you this morning. I want to
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: be Joe four three four eight eight two four two
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: one seven. We'll tell you the news of the day,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the stuff that's happened since last you checked, because you
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: know you've been busy or sleeping, and while you get
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: your day started or wrapped up, we will tell you
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: what we see in the evidence behind in the debris field.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: But we also want to hear what it's doing to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you where you are, because these things trickle down and
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: you're at the end of the trickle. That one needs
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to be rewritten. That didn't sound right coming out of
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: my mouth. So a couple of follow ups on texts
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: that came in earlier I was asked earlier we referred
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to the FCC chief as crampis. Second text from Maureen says,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: are you referring to Brendan Carr or Joe Biden's FCC chief,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Brendan Carr, who seems to think that the government has
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: given me permission to do this and they can take
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: it away. And Brendan Carr, unfortunately, is playing the role
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: of everything that is wrong with the American government right now,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and it's what led to all the shutdowns during COVID.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: It is the license mentality. It is the license tyranny,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the tyranny of the licensure. You need a license for you? Yeah,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you've got a storefront here you DELI Okay, do you
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: have a license for that there? Mister Smith? What do
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I need a license for? Well, you know, the radio
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: station needs a license to go on the air. We
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: can tell it what it can say and what it
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: can't say. We want to tell you what kind of
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: sandwiches you can make and what kind you can't, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: who you serve and who you don't serve. Why wouldn't
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that be good business for me? Well, we just don't
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: trust you to do it good business style. So we're
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: gonna regulate you, and unfortunately he works for you. And
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: he could easily brending Carr's attitude towards the Federal Communications Commission,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: could easily fool you that he was a Biden holdover.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: And I hate to say it about somebody in the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Trump administration, but this guy is, perhaps, given his position,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the most dangerous man in the Trump administration. And he's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: doing it for the laudable reasons of wanting to go
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: after people who have spent all their time and energy
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: going after and trying to hurt Donald Trump's political career
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and everything else. That's not the job of the FCC.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Number one, number two. They're failing. Let them fail, don't
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: turn them into an attacked marginalized class. Don't let these
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: don't let these leftists rebrand themselves as marginalized communities. Let
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: them fail on their own accord. That's the other part
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of why I called him Crampis, And Crampis is just
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the Christmas bad guy. I said, if Donald Trump is
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Santa Claus, then Brendan Carus crampis. But anyway, thank you
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: for the check up on my neck.
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: Up.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: There are first things this morning we were talking about
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and Bob going on with us, but the attacks in Nigeria,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: President Trump said were decisive and a warning that further
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: attacks would follow if violence against Christians would continue. The
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: United States launched a powerful, deadly strike against ISIS terrorists
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: scum in northwest Nigeria. He wrote to truth Social They've
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: been targeting and viciously killing primarily innocent Christians at levels
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: not seen for many years, even centuries. President Vladimir Zelenski
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of Ukraine said Thursday he spent Christmas Day with Steve
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Witkoff and Jared Kushner discussing substantive details of the ongoing
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: work on a potential peace deal with Russia. Meanwhile, Russian
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: forces appear close to being pushed out of the northeastern
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Ukrainian city of Kripyanks, with just less than a dozen
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: pro Kremlin soldiers still there, many of them mercenaries. The
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: storm system that brought heavy rains to southern California may
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: have moved on, but the soaked land are still teetering
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: on mudslides, which are often a theme in the end
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: of the year. In Southern California's Lake Tahoe, flooding in
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that area, residents were told to be ready to evacuate
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the town of right Wood, about eighty miles northeast of
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles, because of threatened mudslide. The US economy grew
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: at four point three percent annual pace in the third quarter,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: mark to get the strongest growth in two years. According
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to new government data release, the nation's output of goods
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and services between July and September outstripped the forecast of
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: three percent growth. According to economists, the latest figure released
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: by the Commerce Department reflects a healthy jump from the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: second quarter's growth of three point eight percent. Ten Democratic senders,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: many of them from the listening areas of this program,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: like Tim Kaine of Virginia, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Jeff Merkley of Oregon, pend a letter to the President
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: complaining that he's recalled thirty diplomats from their ambassadorial posts,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: saying they've put the United States in great threat to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: our national security because these ambassadors are not at their station.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: to look into. And that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: joining metashare can save you or your family up to
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: five hundred bucks a month.
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: And that's huge, but it's also true. People are just
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: happier with it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: their values.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And what they believe in. Meda Share works too.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO networks.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: of your health care, whether you're self employed or part
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: of the gig economy, or you just want to plan

  Speaker 8: It's eight five to five share forty eight five five
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: share forty eight five five share.
• 7:59
  Speaker 9: Forty Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:27
  Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 9: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

  Speaker 2: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe

  Speaker 3: Absolutely Good quit First thing Today on the Talk Media
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Network by Joe Thomas.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Catching up with the host of the Good for America podcast,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: former Chair of the House Freedom Concuss and Congressman Bob Good.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Bob I wanted to ask you background in finance and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: working on Wall Street before entering academia at Liberty University
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: and then obviously onto Congress. The GDP numbers, Bob stunningstof
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: four was at four point three percent higher than the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: economists predicted. Does this deal a problem for the Democrats
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: who are all in now having watched span Berger and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I'm forgetting the new Jersey governor elect's name, Mikey Cheryl
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Cheryl right on, who ran on you know, it's the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: economy stupid. They ran on things cost more, and it's
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: sure it may be our fault, but things cost more
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and they ran on it. But if the economy is
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: turning around like this, it could be a problem for
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: them in the midterms, couldn't it.
• 14:37
  Speaker 17: Bob Hopefully so, I think that Trump's policies that worked
• 14:43
  Speaker 17: well in his first one are going to show even
• 14:46
  Speaker 17: more impact in twenty twenty six. His policies of cutting
• 14:51
  Speaker 17: regulations massively, of reducing taxes or at least keeping tax
• 14:55
  Speaker 17: cuts in place and implementing some new tax cuts. His
• 14:58
  Speaker 17: insistence on fair t rate so that we can have
• 15:01
  Speaker 17: free trade, His emphasis on affordable, reliable energy and getting
• 15:05
  Speaker 17: that going in which impacts so much of the economy.
• 15:08
  Speaker 17: It's going to have a strong impact, I believe, and
• 15:10
  Speaker 17: it's already started to have some impact. Where he does
• 15:12
  Speaker 17: need to make a difference. That's a worse issue from
• 15:15
  Speaker 17: his first term because of the debt having almost double
• 15:17
  Speaker 17: since the start of his first term. Is the spending
• 15:20
  Speaker 17: and the debt and we are spending more than we
• 15:23
  Speaker 17: were a year ago. That has got to be changed
• 15:26
  Speaker 17: because of the fact that it's caused that's combating his
• 15:30
  Speaker 17: efforts on the inflation side and the interest rates for
• 15:33
  Speaker 17: the bondholders and the investors of the debt. If they
• 15:36
  Speaker 17: don't see us being serious about addressing the debt, then
• 15:39
  Speaker 17: it's going to hold back some of the economic economic
• 15:41
  Speaker 17: impact for the American people. So he's got to pursue
• 15:45
  Speaker 17: less spending and reduction in spending and force Congress to
• 15:49
  Speaker 17: do so.
• 15:49
  Speaker 18: And he has not led in that area yet.
• 15:51
  Speaker 19: I hope that he will in.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Twenty six Dominion Bob. Last question for you, Dominion Energy.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Virginia's largest energy company, Utility, is suing the Trump administration
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: because he's stopped the money flowing to these heavily subsidized
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: wind farms off the Atlantic coast in a bunch of
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: different states and in Virginia, Dominion says it could cost
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Virginia eight payers millions and millions of dollars with these delays.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: And I'm reading the suit saying, well, that's presuming you
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: keep building the things. How about you stop building the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: things because they were a bad idea in the first place,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: and move on to something else. And isn't this a
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: great example of what happens when the government tries to
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: get in where a business decision should have been made,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Because Dominion never would have done this fools errand out
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: in the Atlantic Ocean, if Ralph Northam, the previous governor,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: hadn't forced them to.
• 16:45
  Speaker 17: Yes, no question about. Tell me what the government has subsidized,
• 16:49
  Speaker 17: government has gotten involved with which has made things better.
• 16:52
  Speaker 17: It certainly hasn't on energy. And we ought to stop
• 16:55
  Speaker 17: throwing good money after bad a wasting money on these
• 16:58
  Speaker 17: wind and so these un affordable and reliable energy projects
• 17:01
  Speaker 17: which will never be the answer. And one of the
• 17:05
  Speaker 17: big things we need to do is not allow the
• 17:07
  Speaker 17: utility providers the energy to pass on to rate payers
• 17:12
  Speaker 17: the higher cost of wind and solar renewable energy, even
• 17:16
  Speaker 17: if the incentives are no longer in place. If they
• 17:18
  Speaker 17: can pass on the cost of producing this less efficient,
• 17:22
  Speaker 17: less affordable, less reliable energy under the rate payers. They
• 17:26
  Speaker 17: can do that under government pressure and make us have
• 17:28
  Speaker 17: to pay for it, and they're going to continue to
• 17:30
  Speaker 17: do it even without the government incentives. So President Trump
• 17:34
  Speaker 17: is right to cut it off, and they'll continue to
• 17:36
  Speaker 17: pursue that.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, and as you point it out, I mean,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: if we continue to do this, of course, the electric
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: utilities can just blame the data centers because that seems
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: to be the villain everyone wants to bring out there. Bob, So,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: what's coming up this week on the Good for America podcasts?
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Are you looking forward into twenty twenty six? And he
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: knews about twenty twenty six, he says at the microphone.
• 18:02
  Speaker 19: Yeah, we will do a special New Year's podcast next
• 18:05
  Speaker 19: week where we will talk about the new year, the
• 18:08
  Speaker 19: things that I would like to see for the new year,
• 18:10
  Speaker 19: and just kind of reflect on our practices in terms
• 18:14
  Speaker 19: of setting goals and priorities for the new year and
• 18:16
  Speaker 19: each of our lives.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate it, sir. Good for America dot Org

• 18:30
  Speaker 1: new year. We'll talk to you next year.
• 18:33
  Speaker 17: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year at four three four.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Eight eight two four two one seven. That's our phone number.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Also multitasking through text messaging. There this one, we were
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: talking about american Ism and what is american Ism and
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: nationalism based on the Bill of Rights. I don't have
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: a problem with nash as it if it's a nation
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: built on the Bill of Rights. But I'm going to
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: bring that other list of ten things, and there's a
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: forgotten kind of like in the way I look at
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the Third Amendment of the US Constitution as a forgotten one,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: a misunderstood one. The ten commandments there there are the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: obvious ones. Thou shalt not bare fal sweatness against your neighbor,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: shall not covet Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: commit adultery, Thou shalt not murder, Honor your father and mother,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: keep the Sabbath day holy. This is where you start
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: to get the progressives like two people what to do everything?
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: All right? So this is where if you get into
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: a progressive conversation about the Ten Commandments, They start right
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: off with it, you shall have no other God before me.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Well that's a little pushy. What about the Jewish God? Less,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I'm a check the same god. Remember one thing about
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Christianity Islam. And only you know these are At the
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: time in the Middle East, these were the only monotheistic
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: religions on the planet, certainly in that portion of the planet.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Everyone else said, Oh, this is the god of fertility,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and this is the god of sleep, and this is
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: the god of radio. And that would be Joe, by
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: the way, the god of radio. That would make myself laugh.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: The second one, though, the images, the false idols, And
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: that's the You shall not make for yourself a carved
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: image any likeness of anything that is in heaven above,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: or that is in the earth beneath, or that is
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: in the water under the earth. You shall not bow
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: your God, am a jealous god, visiting the iniquity of
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: thousands to those who love me, and keep me my
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: commandments harsh stuff and misunderstood and it has to do
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: with nationalism. I'll explain why in a second. We got
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: news coming up here.
• 22:00

• 22:13
  Speaker 7: that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: just be you moving your body and doing what you
• 22:20

• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you all this question.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: We're supposed to leave at Bertie Sanders and Alec Alexandria
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: A conscio QUOTEXT on.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Your to do list. Putting the radio on is the
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: first thing today?
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Amen to that? Four three, four eight eight two four
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: two one seven. There's a frightening thought turning the keys over.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: So we left off for the news, and there's a
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: lot of other stuff, a lot of other ground we
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: need to cover.
• 28:36
  Speaker 18: Afore the clock wears us thin cruel mistress, cold hoted
• 28:41
  Speaker 18: old that rules the knot, robs of moanings from our flight.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know that. So got fanciful with it. Found
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: finally found that poem. Uh, and it seemed applicable this morning.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: But we were talking about four also idols and nationalism,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: and unfortunately what winds up happening with nationalism is that
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: it becomes that craven image that the Ten Commandments warns about,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: that we wind up worshiping instead of what God has
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: put upon us. You follow me at all on that.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I may be as crazy as a bag of hair,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: And I, unlike many, I have actually seen a bag
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: of hair. I have a bag of hair somewhere at
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: my house, so I can attest to how a bag
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: of hair is. But when we when we fall prey
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: to nationalism, and like I said, just conceptually, the idea
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: of a nation built on the Bill of Rights in
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: the US Constitution, I'm all for that nation. I'm a
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: nationalist for that. But what we've done, and this feeds
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: into something else that I sense all the time that
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: happens to us, is we fall in love with the
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: trappings of those things. I've taught to theologians, theologians men
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: with colors who have made the case that our treatment
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: of the church violates that second second commandment. That we've
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: become so so interested in cellar in the church. It's
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: not about what the church is a building dedicated to do.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: And and the priest that was telling me this, minister,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, my wife always corrects me. It's different faiths.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: But had just come back from Cuba. He came from
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Cuba where he was visiting these illegal, although ignored Christian
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: get togethers, people's backyards and no churches. It's Cuba, but
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: a barroom in a hotel, a backyard in some rural town.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: These are becoming the churches. These are becoming the altars
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: of the Christian faith that is blossoming under what remains
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: of Castro's communism. It's the same thing that Lee's school
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: and used to do. Lee School and a great Chinese
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: liberty Chinese freedom activists who would go to China under
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: the auspices of doing catering events. I guess they want
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: to send out for American all right, So it was stop, Yes,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: it was an easy shot. But I so Lee would,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: you know, get this catering gig in China and she
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: would fly there from the United States. And then while
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: she was there, she drop off all these Bibles for
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: people to take home with them. So we as people
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: fall prey to the idolatry of the thing that we see.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: A fun example, you know, I like to play when
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Captain Kirk reads the premble to the Constitution. The whole
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: episode is built around a society that views the Constitution
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: like a holy document that only chiefs can see. That's
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: the danger in nationalism, is that nationalism leads to that
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: idolatry of thing. It's how Caesar and the following emperors
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: of Rome they kept the trappings, they kept the well
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: to torture the Grinch analogy just a little bit further.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: They kept they made sure everyone had the honkers and
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: snazzers and who hash and the toe tinglers and whatever
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: else it was that the Grinch stole. They made damn
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: sure nobody stole them. That every year the appropriate time,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: they all got put up in the town square. So
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: you knew we were celebrating the thing. And that's the thing.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: We're celebrating the thing, not the stuff that made the thing.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: And in America we fall in prey to that too,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: we celebrate the thing, not the stuff that makes the thing.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: We have pro business politicians who are anything but capitalists,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: and then we have young people who say capitalism sucks.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: How would you even know, No way you could know.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: There's nothing capitalist about this society right now, aside from
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: the idolatry of it, aside from the craven images. And
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: it's a hard heart, oh it is brutal. But you know,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: one day we were talking about how We talk about
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: some of these things as if they are are precious.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Main Street, the downtown shopping district, the entertainment, the theater section, whatever,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Little Italy, Chinatown. None of these things are America. They
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: all wind up getting woven into America. America is a
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: free country based on your opportunity to follow whatever it
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: is you want, provided you don't harm anyone else's opportunity
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: to do what they want. And all the machinations of government,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: from property taxes to property assessments, to licensed sure for business,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: all of it eats away at that, and we shrug
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: and we accept it. I've read to you the Declaration
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: of Independence, passage in the you know, several lines after
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: we hold these truths, et cetera, et cetera, Jefferson Wrights,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: almost noting, almost predicting where we were headed. Prudence indeed
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: will dictate that governments long established should not be changed
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: for light and transient causes. And accordingly, all experience has
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: to which they are accustomed. But when a long train
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object. Evinces
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: a design to reduce them under absolute despotism. It is
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: their right, it is their duty, to throw off such
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: government and to provide new guards for their future security.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: That he was afraid, even the American government we would
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: fall prey to the same thing that everyone else had
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: fallen prey to. Is the worship of the symbol. One
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: of the premises they used to pass the ultra racist
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: nineteen twenty nine Act for Permanent Apportionment that cap the
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: size of the House of Representatives was that we didn't
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: want to add more wings onto the US Capitol Building.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Why it's the Capitol Building is no, it's a building.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: It is a building. It's a building where special stuff
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: is supposed to happen, But it is a building. We
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: can meet in any building. If it's the meetings of
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: our congress people, it's Congress.

  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: And you're the battles wage on battles all over the place.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: And I brought the text message came in earlier this
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: morning asking about story we had yesterday morning.
• 45:19
  Speaker 23: Uh.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Vladimir Zelensky just before Christmas suggested that he would be
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: open to the idea if both if if Russia would
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: abandon the Dawn Boss and that whole region crime in
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: all that, and then his troops would leave and then
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: there would be this demilitarized free economy zone there. And
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I was asked, kind of, how would that work, who
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: would pay for it? Who would be the police there?
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: And of course the obvious answer is us would do it,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: of course. And then you know, showing the master negotiator
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: Zelenski is he took to his Christmas message to say
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: that he hopes Vladimir Putin perishes. So, uh, you know,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: piece piece in our time. I don't know Bob's hit Moscow. First,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you, Bob, how is everything going
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: with the bombing and the killing of those police officers?
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: What's happening with that? I mean, the press has sort
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: of dropped the story. It was a big story yesterday
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: and then the press was like, oh, look a shiny object,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: let's go look at that. Uh, and they, you know,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: no follow up on it or anything. What's happened anything
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: in Moscow? Police about it?
• 46:32
  Speaker 27: Or I haven't heard I haven't heard anything about it. Okay, wow,
• 46:36
  Speaker 27: so something about nothing or if it is, they're still investigating,
• 46:41
  Speaker 27: and when we know more what's going on? Well, No,
• 46:45
  Speaker 27: it's like when the when the bombing was at Crocus,
• 46:49
  Speaker 27: that was all over news. That was major terrorism, and
• 46:52
  Speaker 27: that was new. This I haven't heard much of anything
• 46:56
  Speaker 27: because I'm assuming it's a non event. It sort of
• 47:00
  Speaker 27: probably like a shooting of police officers in America.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, they said it was a pipe bomb, and the
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: first official said he blamed Ukraine for it. So I
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: thought it might be a big deal, and that's why
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: I was surprised to not see it.
• 47:13
  Speaker 27: But who knows, pipe I'm killing two police officers like
• 47:19
  Speaker 27: an ambush killing, you know, two National guardsman like kid,
• 47:26
  Speaker 27: you know that story disappeared in America, the two National
• 47:28
  Speaker 27: guardsmens that were killed in Washington.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: We're trying to not let it, but yeah, I see
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: what you're getting at. So anyway, what do you see
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: to the phone this morning? Good to hear from me.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: I hope you had a good Christmas, although I guess
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: in Russia, Russian Orthodox Christmas is coming up.
• 47:42
  Speaker 27: Yep, it's coming up. But my Christmas it was wonderful.
• 47:46
  Speaker 27: God answered my prayers. We had a snowstorm yesterday, had
• 47:51
  Speaker 27: a white Christmas.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Very nice, very nice.
• 47:54
  Speaker 27: So I looked, the kids are out, the kids are
• 47:57
  Speaker 27: out with their parents and the little football and basketball courts.
• 48:02
  Speaker 27: They're building a gigantic s nomad.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Nice. All right, Well there you go, say, there's there's
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: there's the symbols of Christmas are everywhere, and so what's up.
• 48:13
  Speaker 27: Yeah, let's gets a puppet of the United States. He's
• 48:16
  Speaker 27: saying exactly what the United States wants them to. There's
• 48:19
  Speaker 27: no way Russia is going to give up those regions
• 48:23
  Speaker 27: or have a demilitarized zone when it's going to be
• 48:26
  Speaker 27: run by natal That's what started this whole crap in
• 48:29
  Speaker 27: the beginning was the United States in turning overturning the
• 48:33
  Speaker 27: Ukraine War and NATO encouraging into Ukraine. And that's what
• 48:38
  Speaker 27: this whole war was about. RuSHA will never let that happen.
• 48:42
  Speaker 27: Now here's my question. Let's say they go with it,
• 48:46
  Speaker 27: and let's say it's not gonna be the United States
• 48:49
  Speaker 27: or NATO watching it. China in turn, you're going to
• 48:52
  Speaker 27: take control of the region. What would the United States?
• 48:55
  Speaker 27: What would the United States say?
• 48:57
  Speaker 7: Then?
• 48:57
  Speaker 27: Would they go for it?
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Throw Iran into that governing cabal? Yeah, I agree,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: it's that's that's the devil in the details of this.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: It sounds like a nice idea.
• 49:11
  Speaker 27: No, it's not a nice idea. So lit he just
• 49:13
  Speaker 27: talking out is behind because he knows it will never happen,
• 49:16
  Speaker 27: and he's trying to make himself look good, especially with
• 49:19
  Speaker 27: the comedy made about a hope. Putin. Guys, well, if
• 49:23
  Speaker 27: you come right down to it, who's responsible for this
• 49:26
  Speaker 27: war to begin with? It's not Russia, It's not Ukraine.
• 49:30
  Speaker 27: It's the United States is the one that started this
• 49:32
  Speaker 27: with the overthrow via the CIA covertly in Ukraine, overthrowing
• 49:39
  Speaker 27: the government. Well, overthrow, there's consequences.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Well, but all right, so we're here in the now.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: That wasn't Donald Trump doing that? So Donald Trump and
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Wikoff and Kushner and these folks are trying to get
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: an end to this, what you know, aside from giving
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Russia everything at once, which and I think I may
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: be the old person who will accept and present Russia's
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: argument is, in a nutshell, we were fooled. Yeltsin was
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: an idiot. We should never have agreed to let Ukraine go.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: We don't recognize their sovereignty. And I know that's it's
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: a crass depiction of it, but basically that's been Putin's stand,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: is that I don't recognize Ukraine's government because I don't
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: think Ukraine should have been independent of Russia in the
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: first place. Okay, but we're here now. Can we get
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: back to a process where we discuss these things like
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: mensches at least.
• 50:36
  Speaker 27: Well, the process is going to be the only thing
• 50:39
  Speaker 27: that's ever going to be possible is Russia gets what
• 50:42
  Speaker 27: they want. Period. Also, no one's mentioned about Poland. Poland
• 50:47
  Speaker 27: wants their territory that Ukraine took from them back. They
• 50:51
  Speaker 27: want their territory, and I think it's Luhansk where leave
• 50:55
  Speaker 27: is that's actually part of territory. They want that back
• 51:01
  Speaker 27: at the end of the war too.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: And how did that one was that part of what
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: Russia had kind of invaded after World War two.
• 51:11
  Speaker 27: I don't know if it's after World War two or
• 51:14
  Speaker 27: if it's what because Ukraine or whatever the case was,
• 51:18
  Speaker 27: But somehow that part that used to be Polish territory
• 51:23
  Speaker 27: became maybe it was from World War two. It became
• 51:26
  Speaker 27: part of Russia. The Russia, you know, the Soviet Union
• 51:31
  Speaker 27: became was incorporated as part of Ukraine. So when Ukraine
• 51:39
  Speaker 27: was a state of the Russian government, that's basically what happened.
• 51:44
  Speaker 27: And now that all this is going on, Poland is
• 51:47
  Speaker 27: also watching their territory back. So whatever deal happened, they're
• 51:52
  Speaker 27: going to see Poland getting their territory back too. So
• 51:55
  Speaker 27: they're gonna not only they're gonna lose part of their territories,
• 51:59
  Speaker 27: which he's going to give up up, the Leave area,
• 52:01
  Speaker 27: the Luhansk area back to its frightful owner based on history.
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: All right, well you know, and that's something I didn't
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: know about that part of it. Good to hear from
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: me and my friend. I'm glad it's a white Christmas
• 52:14
