"If You Have a Manifesto..." (Thursday August 28, 2025, Hour 2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:01
Speaker 1: But there was some sort of manifesto that was time
0:04
to come out on YouTube versus.
0:05
Speaker 2: Thing today by Joe Thomas on the TNK Media network.
0:09
Speaker 1: It's been taken down and our investigators are going through that.
0:13
Speaker 3: Gewort said, steal metem.
0:15
Speaker 4: You have a day at least for work, when the
0:19
sun comes up, drops a kid to school. Joe has everything, agenda,
0:25
all the.
0:25
Speaker 5: Jases needs no one that Joe's as smile, he on
0:31
the eggs.
0:34
Speaker 6: Let them be.
0:35
Speaker 7: Joe, thank you for letting us be of service to
0:37
you this morning.
0:39
Speaker 8: I want to be Yo.
0:41
Speaker 7: Will get back to our full coverage of the shootings
0:45
and the investigation in Minnesota. Chris and east Lake sharing
0:49
the other big news story of the day here at
0:51
the UH State Policy Network Annual meetings that George Sorows
0:56
and Arabella Advisors have lost all the Bill Gates Foundation money. Christians,
1:03
So you're giving us details on how this all is
1:07
used and what losing the Gates Foundation money means for Arabella.
1:14
Speaker 9: But that is a signal to other progressive funders that
1:18
there's going to be a distancing. So in order to
1:21
now placate the Gates Foundation, some funders will stop working
1:25
with and again I'm not saying this. This is being
1:28
said by the reporter who is explaining it in the
1:30
story that now there is a distancing of other entities
1:33
from Arabella, and there's more of an open acknowledgment that
1:39
these groups are acting in ways that are designed to
1:42
or packaged as nonpartisan while actually participating in democratic advocacy.
1:49
One other thing to mention is that the no one
1:58
was really talking about this organization before twenty nineteen. There
2:01
had been some stories about the sixteen thirty fund. There
2:04
was some acknowledgment that there was many different campaigns housed
2:08
under one, but no one really was saying the name Arabella.
2:12
I think there was maybe one good media story about
2:14
them back in the day because they were a good employer.
2:17
They were sort of on one of those lists of
2:19
favorite places to work or something like that. But we
2:23
started explaining this in twenty nineteen. My boss actually wrote
2:27
a book on Arabella Advisors that.
2:30
Speaker 7: Not I have a copy of it.
2:32
Speaker 9: Not coincidentally, we just came out with the paperback version
2:37
in July, so we have it freshly updated. Obviously it's
2:40
already out of date. I'll describe the cover for you.
2:43
It's a very dark cover, and it's got three faces.
2:47
The first face is Mark Zuckerberg, the middle face, the
2:50
largest face is George Soros, and then the third faces
2:53
Bill Gates. And so now two of those three faces
2:58
has stepped away. Mark Zuckerber has changed his giving strategy altogether,
3:03
so he's giving more on signs and things like that,
3:06
and has been kind of open in his divorce from
3:09
some of these policies. But this is the second to fall.
3:16
Speaker 7: I hang on one second, Christen. Here, We've going to
3:19
get our first things out there for folks so they
3:22
know what we're talking about here. But big story Arabella
3:26
Advisors losing a big, big chunk of their moneies so
3:31
that they may be less well equipped to continue their
3:37
efforts here at the State Policy Network. There, and obviously
3:42
the shooting in Minnesota, where we are still grappling and
3:48
working on developing more details on the shooter. Young man
3:54
who reported as transgender, shot up at Catholic school as
4:01
they were having mass to celebrate the beginning of the
4:04
school year. Killed two children, wounded fourteen other children and
4:11
two adults in the shooting. Robert Westman of Richfield, Minnesota
4:16
is the shooter. He did post a manifesto which has
4:21
been taken down and as you heard the clip earlier
4:24
on being investigated by police, NATO report that all its
4:29
members were finally set this year to hit the alliance's
4:32
defense spending targets set by Donald Trump of two percent
4:36
of their country's GDP. Abigail Spanberger, Democratic candidate for governor
4:43
of Virginia, says Shield turned Virginia into a sanctuary state
4:47
by rescinding Governor Glenn Youngkin's Executive Order forty seven requiring
4:51
state and local law enforcement to cooperate with immigration and
4:56
customs enforcement. Robert F. Kennedy, Junior Health and Human Services Secretary,
5:02
announced the end of authorizations for COVID nineteen vaccines under
5:07
emergency use and the FDA's broader authorization of the shots. However,
5:15
Susan Monarez, who was announced at five point thirty Eastern
5:20
time to have been relieved of duty as the director
5:23
of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, pushed back
5:27
through her attorney, who posted social media saying when CDC
5:31
Director Monarez refused to rubber stamp unscientific, reckless directives and
5:38
fire dedicated health experts, she chose protecting.
5:41
Speaker 10: The public.
5:44
Speaker 7: Over serving a political agenda for that she has been
5:47
targeted and the US Department of Agriculture is getting rid
5:52
of their DEI no longer defending a Biden administration program
5:57
that gave preferential treatment to farmers base done race or gender.

9:53
or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
9:56
of an infection that can spread from person to person.

11:19
Or a mother.

13:18
the first thing today.
13:36
Speaker 7: Still nothing new coming out of Minnesota and the shooter.
13:39
We're still trying to find out more about this manifesto
13:43
that the transgender man Robert postage before going on the
13:49
shooting spree visiting though with the other big news story
13:52
of that they Kristin Eastlick from the Capitol Research Center.
13:56
So take us for people who are like who is Joe?
14:00
Are the same people who used to tell me that
14:02
the World Economic Forum was a conspiracy theory.
14:07
Speaker 9: His democracy Alliance, which is not George Soros's Democracy Alliance
14:10
isn't a nonprofitent and of itself. It's kind of just
14:13
a convening spot where all of these big donors. It
14:17
takes At one time it was two hundred thousand dollars
14:20
dollars just to be at the table. I don't know
14:21
that price now, but it and it has some of
14:24
the biggest institutions. The big union bosses are all or
14:28
many of them are at that table.
14:30
Speaker 14: So you pay two hundred to.
14:31
Speaker 9: Be in the room.
14:32
Speaker 14: And then the.
14:35
Speaker 9: Democracy Alliance folks will figure out the campaigns and will
14:38
design the strategies to move forward on all of these issues.
14:42
Here's one of my I love this story. So in
14:45
twenty sixteen, when the Trump wins surprised everyone. Democracy Alliance
14:49
has two meetings a year. They have a spring meeting
14:51
and they have a fall meeting. And of course their
14:53
materials are put together months in advance. So with the
14:56
assumption that there was going to be a Hillary Clinton win,
14:59
they had this great, big program of information with all
15:02
of these how are we're how we're going to capture
15:05
this moment, how we're going to codify all of these things?
15:08
And so they had to do, oh no, what do
15:11
we do now. So there was this great memo written
15:13
and it talks about how in orders for us, we
15:16
clearly got it wrong. In order for us to turn
15:18
this back, we have to start civic engagement, which is
15:21
of course, uh, the euphemism for voter turnout to benefit Democrats.
15:28
That's exactly what civic engagement means. And so they took this.
15:32
They had these plans and they were going to start
15:34
up eight different groups. One was going to be focused
15:38
on certain states, one was going to be focused on Latino,
15:41
Get Out the Vote, Black Get Out the Vote, Climate
15:45
Action Fund or Climate Funding, one one for each thing,
15:49
one for each insular thing. And guess what the C
15:53
three of that organization was going to be run through
15:56
new venture fund. The C four of that entity, whatever
16:00
it is, Latino Action Fund, Latino Youth who is going
16:03
to be run out of the sixteen thirty funt So
16:05
George Soros laid out fifteen different entities that Arabella was
16:12
going to be running.
16:13
Speaker 7: And if I'm not mistaken, we've talked about Arabella before.
16:16
Kristen is on Eastlick from the Capitol Research Center. But
16:21
one of the things I remember us talking about in
16:24
our discussions about Arabella is that by the gravity of
16:29
the amount of money they have, they're attracting all the quote,
16:34
best and brightest. This is where the Jedi ready to
16:38
go over to the dark side goes to These are
16:41
the guys who can make the Internet sing. And I
16:45
was watching this during two thousand and eight, the emails
16:48
that I was getting from Barack Obama, and I knew
16:52
they weren't coming from Barack Obama, but maybe eighty percent
16:55
of the populations like, oh my gosh, Barack Obama emailed me. Yeah,
16:59
and that it works and they're still doing And that's
17:03
that's really one of the other sides of Arabella is
17:06
the brain trust.
17:08
Speaker 9: So one of the interesting things in the outcome of
17:11
this election is that more people actually understand there's other
17:15
like Ezra Cline even has had commentary on this, that
17:18
what happens is there is a nonprofit industrial complex, and
17:23
so you've got people who serve in an administration who
17:25
then need to have a job, and this nonprofit complex
17:29
will employ them, and they're now building a resume, they're
17:32
building up some wealth, they're doing they're running the Center
17:36
for American Progress like near A Tandon did. And then
17:39
when the their people are back in the administration, they
17:42
come back out and build it up with a whole
17:45
new set of new, younger people doing those things. So
17:48
it is really a works program. A lot of this
17:50
nonprofit world is a works program for political operatives, political actors.
17:58
They are in there and they just they just wrote
18:00
it's talk about a revolving door with lobbyists. This is
18:04
basically a revolving door with NGOs and with NGO leadership.
18:08
And so that's why it could be argued that this
18:10
is right to start pulling the thread on these NGOs,
18:14
stop the federal funding going into them. Changing that. I
18:17
mean you, I don't know if you've heard about this,
18:19
but a bunch of foundations came to rescue NPR, which
18:23
it makes it makes you question, well, shouldn't you have
18:26
been doing that in the first place, like it's been.
18:29
Speaker 7: A long time. Yeah, And that's the thing that you
18:33
look at why some of these foundations, some of the foundations,
18:37
like I said, I think they're laundering great Grandpa's you know, reputation,
18:42
but some of them are currently active organizations. What is
18:49
their angle? And then you look at you know, the
18:51
trial lawyers and the insurance industry. You know, and these
18:56
union the pensions if you have pensions in a union,
19:00
and that's where a lot oh man, So they want
19:04
something for this investment too, don't they.
19:08
Speaker 9: Well, one good thing. I mean, I'm so happy that
19:11
you're talking about this, and I'm gonna hijack this to
19:13
help us. So we actually run a website called influence
19:17
Watch where we try to do a profile on many
19:20
many of the actors. Most of it is organizations, but
19:24
we do a lot of individuals too, the people whose
19:26
money went into the organization or the people who run
19:30
it and are going in and out of government.
19:32
Speaker 7: You know, somebody found me on influence Watch because I'm
19:36
on the board of a group called Government Accountability and Oversight,
19:39
and they're like, hey, I thought there's only one after
19:41
left wingers. I'm like, no, influence Watch means whoever's in
19:45
the space of working.
19:48
Speaker 9: You know, in policy, we want to have both sides
19:50
because you know, there are a lot of things that
19:52
are said about the group people in this room that
19:55
have either been that are incorrect or have been mistress.
19:59
So we try to get very even handed. We try
20:02
to source from sort of the center right and the
20:05
center left, all through the spectrum all through the spectrum,
20:09
and it is more important for us to have objective
20:12
information out there than for us to say help one
20:15
side or the other. And what we do is we
20:17
have a lot of the people in this room are
20:20
on influence. Watch two people are like, well, there are
20:22
more people on the left than the right, and I'm like, yes,
20:25
that is because there are more organizations on the left
20:28
and on the right.
20:29
Speaker 7: More people need web design than that kind of thing.
20:32
And you know, to be fair, somebody might be sitting
20:34
there saying, well, it sounds just like what the State
20:37
Policy Network does. Yeah, but we're doing it out in
20:40
front of everybody. I don't recall anyone saying, hey, I'm
20:42
going to be broadcasting live from the Arabella Annual Conference.
20:47
This stuff has been and a lot of it. I
20:50
remember christ in the first time you and I talked
20:52
about this, you know, I got people saying this is
20:55
ghost chasing, this is you know. I actually had somebody
20:59
send me a role of in foil because we were oh,
21:02
the scary, because that was George Soros's first defense was
21:07
I'm not I'm just an old old guy. I'm not
21:11
doing all these scary things. And like all these other
21:14
conspiracy theories. We like to use the phrase around my
21:18
radio show. We're not conspiracy theorists, we're conspiracy analysts, and
21:23
which is what you've been. You can steal that at
21:25
the Capitol Research because you guys do such a great
21:28
job of connecting. You know, you see those procedural detective
21:32
shows with the bulletin board with the red string. That's
21:36
that's what I imagine. Yet, Yeah, exactly, that's what I see
21:40
when I imagine Kristen and all the folks at the
21:42
Capital Research thank you for saying that.
21:44
Speaker 9: Thank you for saying that. We thank you for doing
21:45
We we just really enjoy explaining this world to people
21:49
so that they can grasp it.
21:52
Speaker 7: Yeah, and we need that grasp and we need a
21:55
handle on it. Kristen again, Capitalresearch dot Org.

Speaker 3: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
23:14
is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
23:17
owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
23:21
That's what you should use, But there are exceptions to
23:23
the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
23:26
premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
23:29
is not just due to the octane rating. There are
23:31
better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too.
23:35
The vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
23:38
with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
23:41
their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
23:44
your fuel choices around, say every third tank full, you
23:47
may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
23:50
are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.
23:53
Just don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them

28:15
Media Network. All natural and free of artificial intelligence.
28:29
Speaker 23: Even if it seems daunting, Right, what's on your mind?
28:36
Speaker 7: Because sometimes I like with the George Soros and the
28:39
Arabella stuff, Kristen, We've been talking about this for years. Years,
28:45
We've been going on and people like, no, that's not
28:47
what's happening. He's just a doddering old hotelier. I remember
28:52
the first time I heard George Soros's name. There was
28:55
a story it was during the Obama administration. Well no,
29:00
it was actually during the Obama campaign, and he gave
29:03
one hundred dollars bonuses to every one of his employees
29:06
at all of his resorts, and in the one hundred
29:10
dollars bonus was a note saying, I really appreciate all
29:13
the work that you did. This is for you to
29:15
use as you see fit. However, we really would like
29:19
to see this young man, Barack Obama elected president. So
29:23
if you could see it in your heart to give
29:25
up to fifty dollars of this to that, we would
29:28
greatly appreciate it. And the money flooded in. You want
29:34
to talk about money laundering. No, he gave it to
29:37
and and the way he wrote it, we had the
29:39
note and everything. The way he noted wrote it was
29:43
so lawyered up as to avoid any implication. He didn't
29:50
say you had to, He just said he would really
29:54
appreciate it. Oh, so dark, it's so dark. He was
29:59
talking about darkest before the dawn. George Soros is the
30:03
darkness before the dawn. But we've been talking about it
30:06
for years. And oh your tinfoil hat, No, Joe, you're
30:10
just grasping at straws and just a sweet old man
30:14
who wants to take over the world and make it
30:18
in the image of the Czech Republic, he grew up
30:20
and just you know, oh have a Tito's right for that.
30:26
We'll get back into what we know now of the
30:30
Minnesota shooting and the transgender man whose manifesto is in
30:36
custody of the police. He took the easy way out
30:40
and killed himself after killing two children and wounding fourteen others.
30:46
Two adults also wounded. But first I want to find
30:49
out how gold and silver is doing. Hey, James, how
30:52
are you doing this morning? James lonckover at the Jefferson
30:55
Coinschop online at jcsgold dot com. James, this news about
31:02
George Soros and Arabella and the Gates Foundation pulling their
31:06
money out of it. Did that have any impact on
31:09
gold and silver this morning? Yeah?
31:12
Speaker 24: So gold is even so far today, but silver has
31:16
moved overnight. Silver is up one percent to thirty eight
31:19
dollars and ninety five cents knocking door forty dollars, which
31:24
is what you and I are both looking for.
31:27
Speaker 7: Here is big news for.
31:29
Speaker 24: Twenty twenty five, so hopefully we get there soon. And
31:32
but gold is flot so far three thousand, three hundred
31:34
and ninety six dollars. But really the story is sober
31:38
like we've been saying for the past couple of weeks,
31:40
undervalue compared to gold and really a great buy at
31:43
the moment, and you can find those prices at jcscold
31:46
dot com.
31:47
Speaker 7: Well, and really, you know, with silver being that great
31:50
value but also valuable in a lot of other ways
31:52
than just currency, right, James, that's right.
31:56
Speaker 24: I was talking with the client yesterday that silver really
31:59
is used industrially.
32:00
Speaker 7: It's using electric.
32:01
Speaker 24: Cars, solar panels, you know, all of these microchips that
32:05
are being made and that are going to be made
32:08
for this AI revolution. Of course silver is going to
32:11
get used up, which really is a bullcase for that
32:16
where the price needs to reflect that and it should
32:19
here soon and it could be kind of violent.
32:21
Speaker 7: Well, and get with a family that can help you
32:23
navigate these tumultuous waters, because that's what they surely are
32:28
at jcsgold dot com and or call them after ten
32:33
am Eastern at four three four nine seven nine Coin.
32:36
You have a great morning, James. Thanks showing.
32:39
Speaker 1: But if other than saying again that there was some
32:42
sort of manifesto that was time to come out on YouTube,
32:46
it's been taken down and our investigators are going through
32:49
that to try and develop a motive from that. Additionally,
32:52
there are these three search warrants is happening in residential locations,
32:57
and we may very well, you know, find more information
33:00
or writings that could give some sense to that, but
33:02
we don't have that now.
33:04
Speaker 7: As see, that's Chief O'Hara. Batman. Fans will smile a
33:09
little bit in the midst of these horrors that yes,
33:11
there is a city in America with the Chief O'Hara.
33:14
Speaker 9: Uh.
33:14
Speaker 7: There, that's Minneapolis Police chief again, Brian O'Hara giving an update.
33:21
The manifesto, according to one FBI source, was written in cyrillic,
33:28
which is an interesting nod to Eastern Europe. It goes
33:37
back I think tenth century. That's center again. These are
33:42
these are leaks and puddles around the police have the
33:50
manifesto taken off Minnesota Police officer Rich Stannic The manifesto
34:04
along with the cartridge, which again we pointed out, had
34:09
the phrase kill Donald Trump on it, adding together to
34:15
give you a flavor of why we don't know a
34:18
lot about this young man hamp down on the Treasure
34:24
Coast rights into four three, four eight eight two four
34:27
two one seven if gender dysphoria is still listed in
34:31
the DSM. How did the kid in Minnesota buy guns? Well,
34:37
we don't know if these guns were purchased legally. They
34:42
haven't said any of that yet. There are other videos
34:52
that are now appearing on the internet, and half the
34:57
Minneapolis police seems to be tasked with trying to pull
35:01
these videos down. Robert Westman taking his own life at
35:07
the end of the spree that killed two children, wounded
35:11
fourteen others. And you bring up a good point, though,
35:20
Hamp about mental health, and we dance around this. Clark
35:30
earlier in a call mentioned the word asylum, and we
35:35
have this societal aversion to asylum to mental health facilities,
35:42
partially because of the impact of stories like One Flew
35:45
Over the Cuckoo's Nest Heeraldo Rivera's debut in National shock
35:56
journalism when he went undercover inside Willowbrook Sanitarium in New
36:03
York City. The horrific conditions, but a quick node and
36:07
people have made this case in the past. That's not
36:10
the conditions as they always were, and in every place.
36:17
The last time we brought up Willowbrook, I was sent
36:20
an email from somebody saying, you know, that was an
36:22
extreme case, and it was the State of New York
36:25
running it. What did you expect? I mean, it's a
36:29
fair cop to say to say that, you know, if
36:34
you're asking the State of New York to run something
36:39
and then you're going to feign surprise when it's pear
36:43
shaped at the other end. But we don't. We don't
36:47
have hospitals for those who have mental trouble. And part
36:52
of it is we don't know what cured looks like,
36:55
but we do know that medicated, We do know what
36:57
medicated looks like. And it doesn't appear that this Robert
37:05
Eastlake was on any sort of medafic Westman Way at Eastlake,
37:14
Kristen east Lick and Robert Westman east West JD. Souther
37:18
coming up in the music rotation. But you know, we
37:25
will medicate our people who are suffering mental health issues
37:32
until they stopped taking their medication. And what we've discovered
37:36
is that the mental health situations that we ought prescribed
37:40
the medications for often reappear worse and more acute than
37:46
they were before. So I still think, you know, we
37:49
need to be looking at and not dismissing just because
37:53
Jack Nicholson did a movie about bad conditions or people
37:57
who are trying to rip off the mental health can situation.
38:01
Speaker 25: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting,
38:05
and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
38:09
the police. At a time when America's neighborhoods need the
38:13
protection of police the most, some elected officials would rather
38:17
create more chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of
38:20
elected officials caving in to demands of the radical left,

Speaker 11: Considered by most optimized, curcumin is one of the few
39:08
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
39:13
I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation. Our
39:18
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
39:23
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
39:27
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
39:32
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
39:37
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
39:42
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
39:46
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
39:51
healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

Speaker 6: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
41:04
with animals. I'm not only in all of their beauty
41:06
and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
41:09
at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
41:12
Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
41:15
or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
41:17
secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
41:20
jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
41:23
in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
41:26
by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
41:29
wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
41:32
they also perform life saving work every day.
41:35
Speaker 7: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
41:36
Speaker 6: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
41:39

42:31
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
42:35
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.

43:00
when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
43:03
energy Star logo and read the energy guide label, and

44:59
the other actual elected and office holding people when they
45:07
talk about doing violence and punching back and pushing back.
45:18
This is Garcia out of California, and I I like
45:25
the translation. I don't need to hear her, but so crack.
45:28
Speaker 14: The code on?
45:29
Speaker 7: Is that translation into look more like social media posting
45:33
like Mike Wallace than anyone else? Can we get this?
45:36
Speaker 10: Fine?
45:38
Speaker 7: Well? I think first, I think you're absolutely right.
45:40
Speaker 25: I mean, people are energized, and it's TEXTA is going
45:42
to punch California is gonna punch back harder.
45:45
Speaker 7: And so when a transgender guy goes out, and you're right,
45:50
A couple of folks said the police chief did say
45:54
that the guns were purchased legally, so hamp's right. I mean,
45:57
if the guy is suffering and this is we don't
46:00
want to treat things like gender dysphoria as a mental
46:08
health thing because now I can't buy guns. Soldiers coming
46:17
back with PTSD don't want to get treatment, feeding the
46:22
twenty two suicides a day amongst our veterans because they're
46:27
afraid of the scarlet letter that they don't know if
46:31
they can ever get rid of. We don't have a
46:34
mental health court the way we have drug courts, where
46:38
you can go in and have your day in court.
46:42
If somebody waves a red flag on you, it's arrest first.
46:47
It's confiscate first, ask questions later, guilty until proven innocent,
46:54
as it is frequently in the administrative courts of Washington, DC.
47:05
And you say, well, how do we do it right?
47:07
We do it with compassion, We do it with honesty.
47:11
We do it with the opportunity where if somebody is
47:15
having a mental health issue, and that includes self loathing
47:20
and gender dysphoria, gender dysphoria a form of self loathing,
47:32
it's a harm to themselves and it's this is the
47:38
thing that drives me crazy. And actually John Reid has
47:41
talked about this with us. It's not the same thing
47:45
as being gay, and they're lumped together in this alphabet
47:52
soup of LGTBQ plus AI whatever. They're lumped together in
48:00
these groups of similarities but no actual connection. And it's
48:12
so that the Marxist of the authoritarians, the big government
48:16
types can turn around and point and say, you can't
48:21
say that so and so has a mental health disease,
48:24
because then you're saying all these other people that are
48:26
identified in this mass group of people, all with the
48:30
same alphabet, are also suffering a mental health crisis. They're not,
48:40
and that's not what's being said. But this becomes the
48:43
premise of this goofy debate style that they have, which
48:49
is bluster and accuse and name call and then walk
48:57
away and say we won that debate. Had nothing to
49:00
say over us calling them racist, big at homophobes, because
49:06
of course, how do you say, no, we're not. It's
49:10
like the old joke. So, mister senator, are you still
49:14
sleeping with your secretary? No, I'm not, well how long
49:18
were you? Manna? And so we need to get this
49:27
right because supposedly the follow of the science crowd says
49:33
that we have all these brilliant doctors, we have all
49:35
these maybe we should ask Makhmud Ahmadinijan how he got
49:40
rid of all the gay people in Iran. I'm not suggesting,
49:46
but when you combine people who are already suffering a
49:51
gender dysphoria, self loathing of any manifestation, then you tell
49:56
them it's okay, it's what makes you special, which is
50:00
a lie. What makes you special is far deeper inside.
50:06
And then somebody comes along and says, well, I'm not
50:08
going to let you play girls volleyball or you go
50:13
swim against girls because you're biologically a male. And then
50:18
you find the kid deceased at his own hands outside
50:22
of a Catholic church and school where his mother worked.
50:28
We had a shooting here in the Charlottesville area, manifested
50:34
by somebody who had meant a history of mental health issues,
50:38
but then had been called into his employer for an
50:42
emergency meeting after he had called in sick that day,
50:46
and then he went on a shooting spree. And of
50:48
course the lawyers for the employer, well, it's a personnel matter,
50:53
and it's a private personnel matter. So you can't find
50:59
as the police called them, uncooperative, circling the wagons, trying
51:04
to hide from blame. Meanwhile, there's dead people. You don't
51:09
have to be a character in an m Night Shyamalan
51:13
movie to see dead people. And they continue to pile
51:22
up while we ignore this volatile combination of people who
51:28
are struggling with holding on to their last good marble,
51:36
denying them treatment under this idea that the mental health
51:41
condition that they're suffering under makes them special. Therefore it
51:45
doesn't need to be treated. It needs to be celebrated.
51:48
You need to have a day of your own. I mean,
51:51
it's so insane that if this was nineteen seventy seven,
51:57
we'd be telling David Berkowitz that instead of a Jaell,
52:00
he should have a day. You know, the men who
52:02
talk to dogs day, that's what we need. We need
52:06
men who talk to dogs week. Acknowledge that these are special.
52:11
We'll call it Doctor Doolittle week. The men who hear
52:15
dogs telling them what to do. That's what makes them special.
52:20
And we had too many people anyway, so they should
52:23
And the teenagers snogging in the front seat of a car,
52:26
why you know, they are asking for it. That's where
52:30
we are right now. That's where we are. And we
52:34
have people on TV and in the internet space saying
52:40
do violence against Donald Trump and his supporters because they're
52:44
keeping you from being special for the pain and suffering
52:48
that you're going through.
52:51
Speaker 29: You know, it's true. Difficult times have a way of
52:53
focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
52:57
when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is
52:59
why so oh many people are joining meta share right now.
53:03
Metashare is a trusted way to save up to fifty
53:06
percent on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred
53:09
thousand people have already made the switch. It's pretty obvious
53:12
why too, especially now during this challenging season with health
53:16
care costs and out of pocket.
53:18
Speaker 10: Expenses going up.
53:19
Speaker 29: Metashare can save you a lot of money. The typical
53:22
family saves five hundred dollars a month. Medashare works too.
53:26
Speaker 10: It's been around for thirty years.
53:27
Speaker 29: Members have shared more than five billion dollars of each
53:30
other's bills. There are different options to choose from to
53:33
fit your budget. I'll give you the number here in
53:35
a second, and if you call, you can get a
53:37
price within two minutes. Maybe now is the perfect time
53:40
to make the switch and start saving. Here you go
53:43
call eight five five share forty. That's eight five five
53:46
share forty eight five five share, forty
