"Public-Private Partnerships" (Saturday August 23, 2025, Hour 2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:02
Speaker 1: We'll do it lit the first thing today. We'll do
0:04
it by Joe Thomas. I'm the chunk media at do
0:07
it Law, all natural and free of artificial intelligence.
0:10
Speaker 2: I can go alrighte it and will do it long.
0:13
Speaker 3: Jewart said, steal men have a day.
0:18
Speaker 4: At least for work.
0:19
Speaker 5: When the sun comes up, drops appear to scook the line.
0:23
Speaker 6: Joy has everything a gender, all the Joses, and needs
0:28
no one that Joe's as smile, he only as.
0:36
Speaker 7: Joe.
0:36
Speaker 4: Bless you for letting me be of service to you
0:38
this morning. I want to be here hold these truths.
0:43
Four three four eight eight two four two one seven
0:46
is the phone number. Text messages come in there as well.
0:50
It's a multitasker. You don't have to be Alton Brown
0:52
to appreciate that. And it was the most popular way
0:57
to contact the program because even on a sadday morning,
1:01
the mornings are a cacophony of stuff to do, and
1:05
even more so, and we launched this program two premises.
1:09
Number one that a lot of important stories get buried
1:13
late on a Friday because they'll make people look bad,
1:16
so they don't want people to see about it. Classically,
1:19
the Saturday newspapers remember those remember when there were newspapers
1:23
on Saturday had the lowest circulation, the news sites had
1:29
the lowest viewership. All of these things because there's other
1:33
stuff to do. I've got a honeyde list as long
1:35
as my arm, but more and more, our work week
1:39
has extended into Saturday, maybe Sunday, and we're out there
1:44
and we're hustling. So you've got to get started in
1:48
the same way you get started on a Friday. I
1:50
get it. And the kids may not have school, but
1:53
they've got some activity or another that you've got to
1:56
get them off for. Those are the two reasons behind
2:03
doing this. I was here anyway. It's in my newsroom
2:06
working on our flagship station. Like I talked to the
2:08
guys at the Talk Media Network, So do you think
2:11
anyone would be interested if we threw this out there?
2:13
And you know, w RCNA on Long Island one of
2:16
the first affiliates to sign on my home for many,
2:20
many years back in the day. So it's great to
2:22
be back on one oh three point nine FM. This
2:26
hamp in Vero Beach out on the Treasure Coast wrote
2:33
what does an agent or publisher know about classified information?
2:37
Based on the story we were talking about about the
2:39
John Bolton raid. He doesn't. And that's the point we
2:43
were playing back interview. This constitutional defense lawyer and book
2:50
publishing lawyer was talking about the raid on Bolton's home. Sure.
2:55
Always good to be with you, Aaron So and this
2:58
could my name is not Aaron literal, as you said,
3:00
if this.
3:01
Speaker 8: Search had happened five years ago, I would totally understand.
3:05
It's when it's happening that is the issue.
3:08
Speaker 4: But here's the specific concern, and is there a statute
3:11
of limitations on classified documents?
3:15
Speaker 8: Turns that he needs to have. I've represented many former
3:20
government officials up to the Secretaries of Defense, including in
3:23
the Trump administration, to have their books reviewed. When Bolton
3:28
submitted his book for review to the White House, it
3:32
was initially determined five hundred pages to be full of
3:36
voluminous amounts of classified information.
3:39
Speaker 4: So and first get to the White House.
3:42
Speaker 8: It was reviewed by Bolton's lawyer, by Bolton's literary agent,
3:47
by Bolton's publishers. Those are all unauthorized disclosures of classified information.
3:54
Speaker 4: Because they're not supposed to see it. That's your point,
3:57
hamp is, what do they know about classified information?
3:59
Speaker 9: No?
4:00
Speaker 4: John Bolton is supposed to know what has classified information
4:04
or not. That's why he got his home rated. First
4:10
things on this Saturday morning, the stories that you might
4:14
not have heard if there wasn't a live radio program
4:17
for you today. Florida going ahead with its immigration crackdowns,
4:20
even though a judge, citing environmental concerns has ordered the
4:25
alligator Alcatraz shut down, saying that they have to remove
4:30
the lights, the generators, and the fences, but they can
4:35
keep going otherwise. President Trump said that Intel has agreed
4:40
to give the US government a ten percent ownership stake
4:45
in the business Truth social posts from the President, It's
4:49
a great honor to report this great American company that
4:53
has even more incredible futures. I negotiated this deal with
5:00
noted American lip Boo Tan, the highly respected chief executive
5:05
officer of the company. I edit that a little bit
5:08
in there in the middle. The White House Friday said
5:11
it welcome to report that Canada is removing any retaliatory
5:15
tariffs on US goods as a goodwill gesture designed to
5:19
restart traded talks. The IRS is trying to get hundreds
5:25
of employees to rescind their resignation applications to fill critical vacancies.
5:30
This Federal News Network is obtained an email sent out
5:35
by David Trainer, acting IRS Human Capital Officer, saying mission
5:41
critical roles have surfaced amid the layoffs and buyouts. Vice
5:45
President j d Vance said the administration is in the
5:48
early stages of this investigation into John Bolton, but said
5:52
it was not politically driven. The Justice Department released hours
5:57
of interviews between Federal prosecutor and Todd Blanche and Glaine Maxwell,
6:04
the co conspirator in the Jeffrey Epstein horrors. She specifically
6:11
said she never witnessed President Trump doing anything inappropriate with anyone,
6:16
but does claim that they were there at the startup
6:19
of the Clinton Foundation, and Lyle Menendez, along with Eric Menendez,
6:24
were both denied parole at the end of last week.
6:27
And those are our first things this Saturday morning, all
6:32
brought to you by the Jefferson Coinshop jcsgold dot com. Sure,
6:37
invest in gold, but invest with a family, a family
6:41
that will talk to you about where you are. It's
6:43
not just about making a quote of commissions. Silver is
6:47
about to crack thirty nine dollars an ounce. I know
6:49
this because I went to jcsgold dot com. Their price board,
6:54
it's up seventy five cents today to thirty eight dollars
6:56
and ninety one cents. Gold is at thirty three seventy
7:00
thirty three.
7:02
Speaker 2: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
7:07
actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
7:12
oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
7:17
to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
7:21
By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
7:27
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
7:31
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
7:35
precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
7:38
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
7:41
your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric oxide
7:46
can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go
7:50
to total Wellness dot com. That's total wellness dot com
7:54
where we are helping you to look good, feel good,
7:57
and enjoy total wellness. Considered by most, Optimized curcumin is
8:06
one of the few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products
8:11
on the market. I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic
8:15
diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems to be a
8:20
perfect addition to any nutritional program. It makes sense to
8:25
me that preventing or reducing inflammation is a key component
8:30
to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin
8:34
can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties, and research
8:40
suggests that kurcumin can prevent cancer or at least slow
8:44
the spread of cancer, and in many instances, make chemotherapy
8:48
more effective. It protects our healthy cells even from radiation.

9:02
Speaker 10: I'm Andrew Saul, Commission of Self Security. I'm here to
9:05
warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
9:10
Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
9:13
will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
9:16
personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
9:21
are not from US. Real Social Security employees will never
9:25
threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
9:29
call like this, hang up. Never give the call of
9:33
your personal information like your social Security number or bank account,
9:37
or send money in any form cash gift cards, wire
9:41
transfers of prepaid debit cards. Report the call. To our
9:46
law enforcement arm the Office of the Inspector General at
9:50
OIG dot SSA dot gov. Share this information with your
9:55
friends and family.
9:58
Speaker 11: Hi everybody, I'm Jackhannah and it's always a boy. Growing
10:01
up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
10:04
I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
10:06
but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
10:08
birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
10:12
who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
10:15
who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
10:17
for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
10:21
them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
10:23
of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
10:25
best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
10:29
at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
10:32
perform life saving work every day.
10:34
Speaker 12: Dogs keep us.
10:35
Speaker 11: Safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
10:37
suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
10:41
there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
10:44
a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
10:46
and help those in need. So please join me an
10:49
American Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and all
10:52
the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go
10:55
to American Humane dot org to learn more.
11:00
Speaker 13: Bruh, that's buzzed.
11:01
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 11: And now a speech.
11:06
Speaker 3: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
art and brain.
11:12
Speaker 4: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 7: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
11:15
brain is saying when it's time to go home, Somebody
11:18
call me a ride.
11:19
Speaker 13: Love that guy, me too.
11:21
Speaker 14: Know your buzzed warning signs call for a ride when
11:23
it's time to go home.
11:24
Speaker 12: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:28
Speaker 15: Did you know that more than half our household energy
11:31
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
11:35
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
11:39
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
11:42
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
11:46
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
11:49
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
11:52
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
11:56
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs when
12:00
you shop for a new appliance, look for the energy
12:03
Star logo and read the Energy Guide label, and there
12:06
are day to day things you can do. Lower your
12:09
thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer, close
12:12
fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep air
12:15
filters clean. For more tips on saving money by reducing
12:19
your energy waste, check out FTC dot gov slash green,
12:24
a tip from the Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer
12:27
protection agency.
12:29
Speaker 16: As a family member or friend, you may be the
12:32
first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35
going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
12:40
anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
12:43
but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
12:48
at makethconnection dot net and learn how you can support
12:52
the veterans.
12:53
Speaker 12: In your life.
12:54
Speaker 16: Treatment works, recovery is possible.
13:12
Speaker 1: Amaze your friends here in First Thing Today by Joe Thomas,
13:23
you know it was.
13:25
Speaker 4: The retail ecosystem is an interesting one. So downtown areas
13:31
start to get congested with people. The growing area and
13:35
the businesses complain because people can't get there because it's
13:40
what's the old yogi barrel line. Nobody goes there. It's
13:44
too crowded, and so they start to come up with
13:49
parking issues. The downtown shopping area Main Street becomes too congested.
13:57
The municipal government won't let you park most of the places.
14:01
So shopping centers started to be built in the forties
14:06
and fifties, and then somewhere in the sixties, somebody said, yeah,
14:10
but some of these places it gets really cold, so
14:15
maybe if we built the shopping center with a roof
14:18
over it, it would be even better. And the malls
14:21
began to be built. I think the first malls were
14:23
actually in the fifties, and so the mall became the thing.
14:32
It became almost an avatar for the seventies, and by
14:38
the two thousands most of them were growing sadly empty.
14:42
A few of them had a cracker barrel in it,
14:44
and those will be caught soon. And what do you
14:49
do with these derelict malls? How do you try to
14:55
part them out? I know one mall manager who was
14:58
trying to offer super discount rents. They had cut a
15:04
deal with the county where their property rents were going
15:08
to be based on their revenue, and they would have
15:10
to obviously show the documents to the county and say
15:14
this is what we were able to make from the rent.
15:18
It's a tough deal to make because then do you
15:20
discount just to discount so you pay less taxes, or
15:23
do you try to find a sweet spot where the
15:26
businesses are out there and COVID You know, I talk
15:29
about an economic case of long COVID and the lockdowns
15:33
that were obviously unconstitutional and unnecessary and trial run at
15:40
dictatorial fascism American style, where we just have to get
15:45
you to agree to it, unlike all the other types
15:49
of dictatorships where everyone agreed to it and then realized
15:53
how bad they had been gaslight But these malls, really
15:58
the death knell came with COVID who after being scared
16:04
the begibbers out of them unnecessarily and I believe criminally
16:09
by the authorities that did it. Andy. I mean, oh,
16:15
look at all these seniors dying because we sent all
16:18
the COVID nineteen patients to the retirement communities with the
16:21
one group that had the worst comorbidities. I can't imagine
16:26
why that would happen. Ah, we were paying the bill
16:30
for most of these old folks anyways, and get them
16:32
off the medicare roster. But the malls, and I was
16:39
reading this piece on the Green Acres mall, I mean
16:41
it was one of the big ones. Growing up in
16:43
Queen's Roosevelt Field or Green Acres. That was ah, that
16:48
was the place, you know, it was food and shopping
16:52
and your girlfriend wanted to go there. And here in
16:58
Charlottesville we had a mall that I mean had been
17:01
dead since two thousand and seven, long before COVID was
17:06
hanging on to Jcpenny.
17:10
Speaker 7: J C.
17:11
Speaker 4: Penny finally pulled out and they turned the J. C.
17:14
Penny into the motor pool for the county Police and
17:17
Fire Department. And I mean that they gutted the JC
17:21
Penny and put lifts and repair bays in there so
17:24
they can maintain their fire trucks in this big, cavernous building.
17:32
You're talking about Green Acres and taking a tax hit
17:37
in the area. Of course you're going to take a
17:40
tax hit in the area. They didn't tell you that. See,
17:45
this is where the elected officials really commit malpractice. Let
17:51
it close, somebody will buy it, somebody will do something
17:56
with it. It's acres and upon acres of prime real estate,
18:02
even subprime real estate in some areas, but it's acres
18:05
and acres of it. Let somebody who wants to build apartments.
18:11
Every one of these places, including Long Island, is screaming
18:16
about affordability of housing. We're gonna have a lady coming
18:19
up here, as did a great piece of research at
18:22
the Mercadas Center on housing. I know George Mason University
18:27
is the latest one to get smacked for DEI. Mercadas
18:31
Center is an awesome part of George Mason University. And
18:34
it's offensive to me that somebody is sanctified in American
18:38
history as George Mason would have a university behaving the
18:40
way it is. But that's just for the public record.
18:47
But housing is, Oh, we don't have enough housing, all right.
18:50
We have these giant empty shopping malls. Tear them down.
18:52
Put housing up there. You don't even have to do.
18:56
Let homebuilders, let apartment house builders homestead it. But the
19:02
business has lost money. Is it the government's fault if
19:07
a business lost money? Because here's the danger in this.
19:10
Every time a government tries to help out and kick
19:15
back and do these deals where they'll help finance the
19:18
reconstruction of the renovation of one of these malls. You're technically,
19:23
as I sit not. I always like to say, I'm
19:26
not a lawyer. I just know a lot of them.
19:29
The last year of my life, I've known way more
19:32
of them, and I've actually had to work with them,
19:35
not just interview them, actually go get digested by the
19:39
legal system. But I believe that as I read the
19:43
law that's accepting liability. If you've given money to this
19:49
shopping mall, you are, from where I'm sitting, accepting the
19:52
liability for the fact that they are closing, that they
19:55
don't have any shops in there anymore. And did you
20:01
vote for your county supervisors to accept that liability. I mean,
20:07
technically it's partially your fault. You didn't go to the
20:10
mall anymore. You ordered it online and then you said, well,
20:15
why am I picking up the tab to keep the
20:17
mall get redeveloped. Well, maybe Amazon should kick in. They've
20:27
got to go find the money somewhere. Banks don't have it,
20:31
and they're not willing to give it to an industry
20:33
that's going under everywhere shopping malls, so they go to
20:38
the one place that there's money, and they drag out
20:42
statistics that say, look at how many people work at
20:45
the mall, look at the history. It's a historic landmark.
20:49
All of a sudden will take down a statue to
20:51
a Confederate general, but will claim that a mall is
20:54
a historic landmark. Crazy world, and we're up in the morning.
21:03
Most of us aren't drunk still, but that's what's happening.
21:10
And every time it happens, they claim that, you know,
21:13
by doing these tax schemes, whether it's pilot programs or
21:18
tax income in financing or whatever it is, they always
21:21
sell it to the voters by saying somewhere down in
21:24
the future, it will pay for itself. And they never
21:28
explain how that will work. And there's a reason they
21:32
don't explain how that will work, because it never happens
21:36
that way. Beware this stuff. Let them. It's just like
21:44
GM when the government bought a share of them and
21:48
then complain that there weren't enough auto factories out there
21:51
to make ev vehicles. I don't know. There would have
21:54
been a bunch of them available if GM had gone
21:56
under bargain basement discount prices.
22:01
Speaker 2: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent

23:10
Speaker 6: 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
23:16
owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call
23:20
for that's what you should use, but there are exceptions
23:23
to the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call
23:26
for premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for
23:29
this is not just due to the octane rating. There
23:31
are better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies
23:35
know too, the vehicles that run on premium won't perform
23:37
as well with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning
23:40
power into their premium fuels than their regular blend. If
23:43
you rotate your fuel choices around say every third tank full,
23:46
you may find better performance and miles per gallon because
23:49
you are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.
23:53
Just don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them
23:55
anytime soon with your automotive prescription. I'm ronin Ay in
23:58
the car, doctor seex time.
24:03
Speaker 2: Considered by most. Optimized curcumin is one of the few
24:07
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
24:12
I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
24:18
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
24:22

24:26
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.

The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent

in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

Speaker 1: Mornings great again. First Thing Today on the Tunk Median
28:16
Edyword by Joe Thomas Man.
28:24
Speaker 2: We're not anybody.
28:28
Speaker 4: Shot right right? Ask any mother who lost their daughter.
28:39
Speaker 12: Things you just told.
28:44
Speaker 4: Ye I've got my Biden phone, I've got my Biden
28:47
Medicaid car, and I've got my driver's license. Ask that
28:50
family of three in Florida got run over by a
28:53
tractor trailer by somebody who we're not even sure it
28:56
has a driver's license for a truck. Listened. The citizen
29:01
doesn't speak the language, but he's driving a tractor trailer
29:04
around Florida. A you know what could go wrong? It's
29:08
consideration for your fellow man. These are people. You're rounding
29:12
up people, putting them in concentration camps. No, we're arresting
29:18
people who have committed a crime and putting them in jails. Oh,
29:22
I'm sorry, did you vacate your bellels? Clean up on
29:27
Aisle five? Oh it's a sanctuary Saturday too. All sorts
29:33
of various things all piling together into it. Of course,
29:39
the lead is the judge saying that because of environmental concerns,
29:48
and this is the interesting So the left will go
29:51
out and portray this as a rebuke of the immigration crackdown,
29:56
when all it was was a smart lawyer from the
29:59
left saying hmm, we don't have a legal leg to
30:02
stand on on the deportations and this is the thing
30:06
you should take away from this. The judge's ruling is
30:09
on environmental concerns and to Ron DeSantis' discredit in Florida,
30:16
it picked bad lawyers, as I could have argued against
30:20
that premise. And I haven't out like like I said
30:27
in the last segment, outside of a disproportionate amount of
30:30
friends who are lawyers. I am no lawyer. But the
30:35
smart leftist lawyer went out there and said, but it's
30:37
the ever, it's it's my gosh, this is such protected wilderness.
30:44
This is a Florida treasure. It was already a facility
30:48
their though it's not like they built the facility. They
30:52
expanded its security protocols and everything. But they said, no,
30:58
you can have you can the prisoners there. And I
31:01
thought this was an interesting thing. She never said, the judge,
31:04
Kathleen Williams, never said you can't have the prisoners there.
31:08
She just said you can't have lights, generators and fences
31:14
based on the environmental concerns. Meanwhile, a judge has ruled
31:30
that the patron saint of underage girls kill Maar Saint
31:35
Kilmar the Magnificent kill Maar Abrego Garcia can go free,
31:41
while he's awaiting trial on human smuggling charges. And again
31:46
the leftists out there, oh Kilmar's wait, and the rights like,
31:49
oh my god. I mean, he's in house custody though
31:54
he is a house arrest, but he can go to work.
31:57
He's not a citizen. Where's he working? Can I ask
32:01
you that the ruling says he can go home so
32:03
he can go to work? Where's he working? Not citizen,
32:07
not visa holder? Can he claim more human trafficking as
32:13
his work. I have to drive back into Tennessee because
32:17
I've got work to do there. These farm hands aren't
32:23
going to move themselves down to Georgia. Can only leave
32:28
the home for religious services and other approved activities. Do
32:33
we have a list for what those approved activities are?
32:40
For work? It's not This is the stuff that I mean.
32:45
I get the fact that you're educated to the point
32:47
of being stupid. But you're giving him a release from
32:53
incarceration so he can go to work when he's not
32:56
a citizen of the United States. Were you just wearing
33:02
a Democratic Party pin on your robes? Your honor? Also
33:08
another clown and gown ruled Friday, the Trump administration cannot
33:14
deny federal funds going to Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles
33:19
and thirty other cities in the suit because of their
33:26
sanctuary city status. Funny enough, some of them, while they
33:31
were quietly joining this lawsuit, we're telling their local newspapers
33:35
where a sanctuary city. I don't know what you're talking about,
33:41
William Auric of San Francisco. I'll pause for you to
33:46
make the Macaulay Conka shocked face. I'm home alone block
33:54
the administration from cutting off or conditioning the use of
33:57
federal funds in these sanctuary jurisdictions, adding them to a
34:07
previous list of cities that he was protecting the funding
34:10
for under the claim that one is not by its
34:14
nature connected to the other, that the funds in question
34:18
were not originally applied to the cities with any condition
34:26
at the moment of their granting on immigration policy. Very targeted.
34:41
So we sit here and on a Saturday morning, because
34:48
you wouldn't have heard about it by the time Sunday
34:50
came around. It would have been very difficult to find
34:52
a way to shoehorn in these three stories. Because I'm
34:55
sure today and tomorrow will be another couple of fire
34:59
hose out of the Trump administration, even flying back from
35:04
Mary Lago. But what we see is law fair at
35:13
its best. And you tell me where they find the
35:19
loopholes in the law, and lawfair really goes even deeper
35:23
than that. So they get elected, these law fair legal
35:28
degree holders that never practice law. They don't bother trying
35:32
to pass the bar. They only want to know the
35:34
law so they can weaponize the law. And they get
35:38
into the New York General Assembly, or even better, they
35:42
get into a lobbying position at the New York General Assembly,
35:46
or the Virginia General Assembly, or Texas or California, you
35:50
name it, and they specifically write the loopholes that then
35:57
six months later, convenient, isn't this loophole? Because they realized
36:06
ten years ago it was much easier to write the
36:09
loopholes in advance than hope you can find one. But
36:17
there they go, doing it again, and the killmar story again.
36:22
Bless the folks who purport conservatism in the media and
36:27
report on same to you. He's not free. But how
36:34
addled a nitwitth do you have to be to give
36:37
somebody who's not a US citizen release on the premise
36:41
that they be able to go to work. They're not
36:44
supposed to be working.
36:45
Speaker 19: Here must recenter Joe, find your six pack chakra, find
36:55
your DPAC chakra. OM I mean, this is where I
37:00
really feel like I have to control fists of death
37:04
because it's just so crazy.
37:06
Speaker 4: And you know what that statement will get somebody to
37:09
say our conservative talk show host was on w RCN
37:13
radio and supporting political violence. When I've got these people
37:18
talking about see a maga, shoot a maga on tip
37:23
Did you not hear that story? I don't know if
37:25
you got that story over the week. I don't want
37:26
to bore you if you did this. TikTok To has
37:30
started a program called see a Maga, Shoot a Maga
37:36
because she seems to think that that's what the Second
37:40
Amendment is for. Do we have it real quick before
37:44
we have to run to break?
37:46
Speaker 7: Here?
37:47
Speaker 4: Is real quick? Ten seconds, I guess.
37:50
Speaker 20: So I would like to start a new movement called
37:52
Magaga because people like that respond to fear and terror.
37:59

38:05
and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
38:09

diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle

changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

44:41
but what why not cover yourselves? But we are fired
44:46
up and it's over the You know, Texas has brought
44:50
this back and we spent a good bit of time
44:54
on the Weekday program on this that this is a
44:58
self inflicted wound. What Texas is doing with their congressional
45:03
districts and what California is doing with theirs and now
45:12
this unjiggering America or whatever it is. They have some
45:19
qut name for it in California, and Gavin Newsom is
45:30
going is you know you can't open your smartphone app
45:33
and by the way. I don't know who's managing all
45:37
this AI, But why am I getting ads?
45:40
Speaker 9: What?
45:41
Speaker 4: In anything that I've searched for? And I tend to
45:44
be you know, I do try to be you know,
45:50
all over the place when I search for things on
45:53
my smartphone. But why why am I getting ads for
45:56
Gavin Newsom's fundraising for his redistricting plan that has to
46:02
go to the Virginia vote, the California voters. Why am
46:05
I getting that? What in my search history says I'm
46:08
going to give money to Gavin Newso.
46:11
Speaker 25: Thank you, a speaker, to all of the leaders that
46:13
are settled here today, thank you for standing job, thank
46:17
you for your faith and devotion to this larger cause,
46:20
democracy that I think should united all of us.
46:22
Speaker 4: For going and remember in the Joe Thomas in the
46:25
Morning Field Guide to the American Left, the section on pronunciation.
46:30
When you hear somebody like Gavin Newsom say that word,
46:33
he means democratsy, meaning the policies that will protect our
46:39
elected majorities in these places like California. A friend of
46:45
mine wrote in on Friday to JT in the Morning
46:49
Radio at gmail dot com. He said, Joe, if California
46:53
has to redistrict itself to protect the Democratic majority. That's
46:58
pretty sad that they just want to make it such
47:01
a souperer majority. I think they want to go from
47:05
forty six out of fifty three to forty eight out
47:08
of fifty three seats. I remember they used to have
47:12
fifty six, now it's fifty three. I mean, they're hemorrhaging
47:16
population in general. But the reason these redistricting votes happen
47:26
generally right after a census DESSI annual census, is that
47:31
we get a feeling. We were supposed to say, Okay,
47:33
let's find out how many people are here, and then
47:35
we'll figure out how many congressional seats we are. And
47:39
for all the folks who went out there in twenty
47:42
nineteen and twenty twenty pre COVID and started honking on
47:46
about how Thomas Jefferson was a racist, therefore, we need
47:49
to get rid of the racist documents that underpin our country.
47:53
The nineteen twenty nine Permanent Reapportionment Act should have been
47:57
first on your list. I know you're a HIPOC because
48:01
you're not talking about the singular most blatantly racist document.
48:05
It was written by congress people who said they were
48:09
concerned with the growing black populations of freed slaves in
48:14
the South and that they were going to get more congressions.
48:17
So you're using this this corruption of American jurisprudence, and
48:24
now we're just one hundred years later, we're still rearranging
48:29
the deck chairs rather than saying, hey, we have three
48:33
times as many people as we did then, any of
48:36
them black and brown, as Joy Reid would like to say.
48:41
But eighty five percent of all the counties in America
48:44
voted Republican in twenty twenty four. That's why they don't
48:48
want to have a more thoroughly representative congressional map with yes,
48:54
more congress people there. And the funny thing is the
49:03
president has majorities right now in the House and Senate,
49:06
and he still faces people like Chuck Grassley who will
49:13
oppose nominations, the nominations of different agency heads and subheads.
49:33
They hold them up because they're taking away our energy subsidies.
49:40
We've got to be green. We've got to be green. Hey,
49:45
I promised you this. Emily Hamilton talked to me earlier
49:49
in the week. We were talking about housing in college
49:51
towns like Hempstead or Charlottesville or Harrisonburg and why housing
49:59
gets so damn expensive there.
50:01
Speaker 26: Yeah, you raise a great point. There's really a relationship
50:07
between college towns and historic nimbiism. It's not just Charlottesville,
50:14
but places like Boulder, Colorado, or Ann Arbor really see
50:21
housing affordability problems out of proportion to what they need.
50:26
I think in large part because those college professors have
50:30
played a big role in what I would call misguided environmentalism,
50:36
arguing that you know, building more housing in those college
50:41
towns is going to make the environment worse, whereas what
50:46
we really see is that these policies are just causing
50:49
huge commutes and poor quality of life for people who
50:55
are going to continue working there, regardless of whether or
51:00
not adequate housing is allowed to be built. Luckily, we
51:05
are are seeing some changes in Charlottesville and other university
51:11
towns where I think the common wisdom among professors is
51:19
changing to recognize that this nimbiism has actually caused serious problems,
51:26
and so hopefully in the coming years we'll start seeing
51:30
it being easier to build housing for people of all
51:34
income levels in some of those college towns.
51:38
Speaker 4: And part of it, part of it, and will be
51:40
it for me after slagging Gavin Newsom, but he wasn't
51:43
governor when Prop thirteen was put in there. So much
51:46
of this is driven off of what we're seeing on
51:48
Long Island with Green Acres mall. From what we see
51:52
when the Nimbies come out in Harrisonburg or Charlottesville or
51:57
you know, down Jacksonville. They don't want affordable housing in
52:02
their neighborhood because that brings down property values. It's this
52:09
backdoor hand in glove Marxism that says, my property values
52:14
are imperative to you, So I'm going to report you
52:17
to the Pollit Bureau if you're making my property values lower.
52:25
So this is why I said, you know, why are
52:27
we worried about reopening a mall. Let's tear it down
52:31
and build affordable housing there and begin by making sure
52:36
that the build is affordable so that you know, somebody
52:40
will build an apartment for somebody who's making forty or
52:43
fifty thousand dollars a year. Then maybe teachers can stay
52:46
on Long Island at least in Charlottesville, they can move
52:49
to the next county up.
52:51
Speaker 24: 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 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 expenses. Going up Medashare
53:19
can save you a lot of money. The typical family
53:22
saves five hundred dollars a month. Medashare works too. It's
53:26
been around for thirty years. Members have shared more than
53:28
five billion dollars of.
53:30
Speaker 4: Each other's bills.
53:31
Speaker 24: There are different options to choose from to fit your budget.
53:33
I'll give you the number here in a second, and
53:35
if you call, you can get a price within two minutes.
53:38
Maybe now is the perfect time to make the switch
53:41
and start saving.
53:42
Speaker 12: Here you go call eight five five share forty.
53:45
Speaker 24: That's eight five five share forty, eight five five share
53:50
forty
