"Rights are Balanced by Responsibilities" (Wednesday September 17, 2025, Hour 2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:02
Speaker 1: Now the sensors who have slurred the meaning of the words, We.
0:09
Speaker 2: The people are making mornings great again. First thing today
0:13
on the Chunk Media Network by Joe Thomas, Well to.
0:36
Speaker 3: Do a constitution Ted's d where we celebrate not only
0:41
the essential truth that God has endowed you, not just
0:44
with unalienable rights, and of course the counterbalancing responsibilities. We
0:49
always forget to talk about that because well, it's a
0:53
doggy downer, isn't it. Well that the conversation got dark
0:57
all of a sudden, Joe, didn't it? As well as
1:00
the gifts and talents that God has bestowed upon you
1:04
and me and a guy across the street. Yeah, I
1:07
know you don't like the way he cuts his lawn,
1:09
But so we all have these gifts and talents, and
1:13
it's imperative to us in a free society to school
1:16
up and how to apply them to your community. And
1:20
if you don't know what they are, if you don't
1:22
know what you're gifted to do, I have some simple
1:26
tests and things, but mostly it's to sit down and
1:29
talk to four or five of your closest friends. They
1:33
may even be family members. And once you do that
1:39
and you apply those gifts and talents on a daily basis.
1:42
You don't have to worry about the cancel culture. I
1:44
mean they'll be there, they'll be you nipping at your heels,
1:49
but you don't have to worry about them. We were
1:51
talking in the last segment about this lawsuit in Montana
1:56
where some kids have been convinced by a lawyer that
1:59
they're money from the Open Society Foundation. Alex Soro somewhere
2:04
is involved with sending money through a pass through and
2:08
laundering it so it can go to this lawyer to
2:10
represent twenty two twenty somethings in this suit, saying that
2:16
allowing fossil fuel vehicles to continue to operate is depriving
2:22
our clients of their constitutional rights, and it is that definition.
2:29
I want to spend a quick second, if we have
2:31
time before our first things must commence, to talk about
2:35
the way they redefine the word right, because they've taken
2:40
the word privilege and have conscrewed it.
2:47
Speaker 4: For the norm Crosby fans with the word right.
2:54
Speaker 3: So if you can drive around because we have a
2:59
society that allows you the prosperity to buy a car,
3:02
all of a sudden, that becomes a right, a right
3:04
to and This goes back to that discussion we had
3:07
about my dear Senator Tim Kaine has statements on the
3:11
Senate Committee deis that rights come from government. This is
3:18
that perversion where they only parse a little bit of
3:21
what John Locke said. John Locke said that governments aka
3:26
Constitution day are instituted to secure the rights. So Tim Kain,
3:34
in his moderate defense, is taking a very narrow definition
3:39
of that that if the government doesn't defend your rights,
3:42
then they have technically taken them away, and if they
3:45
do defend them, then they have granted them. But here's
3:49
something else Locke said about rights and a free society.
3:55
That a free society cannot conscript someone else into your services.
4:02
So you can't have the right to a house or
4:06
a place to live, because that would require the servitude
4:10
of somebody to build it for you.
4:12
Speaker 4: So, for everyone who.
4:13
Speaker 3: Thinks they're talking the enlightenment and getting their enlightenment on
4:18
talking about how we're going to develop all these rights
4:22
and we're going to give people the right to housing
4:25
and the right to medical care and all this other stuff,
4:27
these are not rights because they require somebody to do
4:31
something for you. Now I'm required to tell you the news.
4:35
But that's by my agreement with my employer, and quite honestly,
4:39
it's just good form because how can we discuss the
4:42
news if we don't tell you what the news is. First,
4:45
here's the story you're not hearing. Department of Justice sued
4:48
Oregon and Maine over what they call the failure to
4:53
provide information regarding voter list maintenance procedures and electronic copies
4:58
of statewide.
4:59
Speaker 4: Voter red stration list g a state like.
5:02
Speaker 3: Oregon not complying with a federal order to turn over
5:06
its voter lists. Strange that as election day approaches on
5:13
especially a local elections, the Help America Vote Act, the
5:16
Civil Rights Act, and the National Voter Registration Act are
5:20
all cited as these states being in violation of President
5:25
Trump in Great Britain today for a second state visit.
5:29
The press calls it unprecedented. The UK government rolled out
5:33
the red carpet for the President and First Lady Milania Trump.
5:37
King Charles the Third will host Windsor Castle, a banquet
5:41
and a carriage ride on Wednesday through the streets of
5:44
London before the President meets with Prime Minister Keir Starmer
5:48
on Thursday, and reports are they're going to sign a
5:51
treaty to help develop more nuclear energy generation in the UK.
5:57
Prosecutors officially filed charges of aggravated murder against Tyler Robinson,
6:03
the suspect, and the shooting death of Turning Point USA
6:05
founder Charlie Kirk and said they will see the death penalty. Meanwhile,
6:11
FBI Director Cash Pttel told Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday that
6:15
investigators are pursuing more than twenty individuals connected with the
6:20
online chat room of the suspected shooter, and the suspect
6:25
is currently under special round the clock watch, according to
6:30
the sheriff, because of mental health concerns based on statements
6:35
he made before his arrest. Founder of the Sundance Film
6:39
Festival and star of notable movies like all the Presidents
6:42
meant Barefoot in the Park and Butch Cassidy and The
6:45
Sundance Kid, Robert Redford died Tuesday at his home in
6:48
Utah at the age of eighty nine.

8:08
Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
8:13
oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long

your hands and feet. Well. Our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide,

9:37
and from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
9:41
the one for new macccle disease can protect adults from
9:44
illnesses that can cause misdays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
9:49
New macaccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
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.
10:00
Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
10:04
I'm doctor Susan Reem of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.

First Amendment. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of
12:09
the press, freedom to peaceably assemble, freedom to petition the government,
12:14
which freedom can you live without. Fortunately, the First Amendment

13:00
Speaker 2: H First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by
13:17
Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas and Charlottesville.
13:27
Speaker 4: How you feel, isn't it? Sometimes?
13:29
Speaker 18: Especially if you're out west with us you knew to
13:36
the program, We're like, are we talking about alien abduction?
13:43
Speaker 4: That something even worse?
13:56
Speaker 3: On this constitutional teds They celebrated two hundred and thirty
14:00
eight years of the US Constitution. First must check in
14:05
with the currency the coin of the realm, even two
14:08
hundred and thirty eight years ago, gold and silver. James
14:11
Luck with Jcsgold dot com. Good morning, James, Happy Constitution Day.
14:16
How are you, sir, Thanks Joe.
14:19
Speaker 19: I'm doing well, and you're right.
14:21
Speaker 20: Gold and silver have been.
14:24
Speaker 21: Historically the basic of money through you know, government after government,
14:31
empire after empire, the rise and fall of countries and
14:34
has always been based on gold, especially and silver.
14:39
Speaker 20: And they had a record setting day yesterday, got all
14:42
the way up to seven hundred dollars briefly. It has
14:45
since dropped back slightly. It's down twenty two dollars to
14:49
three thousand, six hundred and sixty seven dollars at the moment,
14:52
down about a half percent.
14:54
Speaker 22: Silver has stipped below forty two dollars. It's a forty
14:58
one forty five far down about two and a half percent.
15:03
So it feels like a little bit of a large
15:05
dip in silver.
15:06
Speaker 20: But remember, if you go to jcschool dot com, you
15:09
can see our charts there and you can see that
15:11
forty one dollars for silver is still very high. And
15:14
this is a healthy little pullback on our way to
15:17
fifty dollars.
15:18
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, I don't know what would keep you
15:20
away from the radio for that long, especially being on
15:22
American Forces Radio Network. But if you let's just say
15:26
we're deployed for a year and you came back and
15:29
you put on the radio set hold on, did he
15:30
say forty or twenty dollars announce? Because I mean we
15:34
were talking at one point of struggling to crack twenty
15:36
dollars announce, James, not all that long ago either. So
15:40
if you got a discount, get a discount and stack
15:44
some silver.
15:44
Speaker 4: That's that's what I would do.
15:46
Speaker 3: But again I'm saying, call folks like James and his
15:50
family business there, mom and pop, and you know, it's
15:54
a mom and pop operation, just like my flagship station
15:56
and Thomas Media LLC writ large.
16:00
Speaker 4: But to talk to their staff. I actually saw.
16:03
Speaker 3: One of your team the other day with his little
16:05
baby out at one of the Charlie Kirk vigils. James,
16:10
it was great. It's a beautiful baby too. I hope
16:13
you're taking good care of these folks because I know
16:15
they've been with you a long time, so you must.
16:17
Speaker 20: Be absolutely And you're right. It is a family business,
16:22
you know, And that's why we have the care and
16:24
attention to every order that goes out because it really
16:27
doesn't matter to us.
16:28
Speaker 4: We aren't salespeople.
16:30
Speaker 20: We really are just trying to provide gold and silver
16:33
to as many people as possible at the best price
16:36
that we can so then they can participate and diversifind
16:39
their portfolio in the fight against inflation. And we're a small,
16:44
you know, family business, but we have a reach all
16:46
across the country which is really great.
16:48
Speaker 3: Jcsgold dot com. James, you have a great morning, sir.
16:52
Speaker 1: You too, Joe.
16:53
Speaker 3: Thanks, and Bob in Moscow was hanging on the line.
16:56
But I want to stick this in this Border of
16:59
Protection Act in between James call and Bob's is that
17:05
we made this statement earlier in the program that your rights,
17:11
like vices, come with something counterbalancing. Rights come with responsibilities.
17:17
That's how you create balance. Liberties do not, Thus the
17:21
expression taking liberties rights come with responsibilities. If you have
17:26
free speech, you have a responsibility to speak truthfully that
17:30
kind of thing. If you have the right to defend yourself,
17:33
you don't have the right to use that defense mechanism
17:37
as an offensive weapon.
17:39
Speaker 4: Those are the That's what I'm.
17:40
Speaker 3: Talking about with that kind of couple of text messages
17:43
about that point here on Constitution Day, Bob, good morning, sir.
17:47
Happy Happy Constitution Day. In Moscow hold, it says he's calling.
17:53
We have him on hold. All right, so we have
17:55
Bob twice here, according to my phone, we have we
17:58
have Bob on hold and Bob on the line. Good morning, Bob.
18:02
I think this is you, unless there's somebody else calling
18:04
get from Moscow?
18:06
Speaker 4: How are you today?
18:09
Speaker 1: Do me good? On my end, we got cut up.
18:12
But what I'm going to say is we need to
18:15
stop these frivolous lawsuits and go to a torte law
18:19
like I think England had, where if you sue me
18:23
for something stupid, if I win, you have to pay
18:28
me not only my lawyer fees, but what you were
18:31
suing me for.
18:32
Speaker 3: Do you ever want to go into a room and
18:33
find the Democrats in the room, Bob? And you know
18:37
sometimes you go into a cocktail party and you want
18:39
to find out who the Democrats are, start talking about
18:41
tort reform and every day.
18:44
Speaker 19: Oh that's on American. You can't have to why that
18:48
would infringe your right to petition and that it is
18:52
like almost an allergic reaction amongst especially Democratic Party members
18:58
who are office hold.
19:00
Speaker 3: They lose bawel control, they vacate their lower intestines. If
19:05
you merely suggest tort reform, especially like what you just suggested.
19:09
Speaker 4: There, because they loser pays. It's just simple, it's loser pays.
19:15
Speaker 3: So there's a court costs, there's lawyer fees, and if
19:18
you bring the suit and lose, you got to pay
19:20
the guy who had to defend himself.
19:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, not only court costs, but time off of work
19:27
and everything else. But the other thing is all these
19:31
ambulance chasers like Ben Crump, all these would be out
19:35
of business.
19:36
Speaker 3: Right and apply it the other way too, if the
19:40
government brings action against you. And Virginia has a protection
19:45
for private property taking is one of those restrictions. After Kilo,
19:50
after pink Houses, and the Susette Kilo case where Connecticut,
19:54
Connecticut or.
19:55
Speaker 4: Rhode Island, I can't remember whether it was.
19:57
Speaker 3: I think it was Connecticut, New London, Connecticut took her
20:00
home so that they could build more expensive homes to
20:04
create more tax revenue, claiming that that was under the
20:08
constitution a public benefit. And so we tightened up the
20:12
language here in Virginia as many states did, to say
20:15
public use. But even then we added a codicil on
20:19
that that if you have to fight the government for
20:23
against their takings and win, the state has to pay
20:28
all your legal fees and everything else. So I think
20:30
it has to apply to governments as well. So if
20:32
government brings legal action against you and you prevail, the
20:37
government has to pay for your legal costs, and that
20:41
would restrict in my view, Bob, this what do they
20:45
call it? Process? Becoming the punishment society we live in.
20:49
Speaker 4: What do you think.
20:52
Speaker 1: I think would be awesome? The other thing, also, if
20:55
the lawyer loses his case, the lawyer loses his license
21:00
is suspended for one year automatically, ooh ooh, nothing else.
21:07
Because these lawyers are the ones that are taking advantage
21:10
of some of these poor people, these people that have
21:13
just gone through a hard time, and they're using them.
21:16
So let's make the lawyers responsible for their actions because
21:20
they know darn well what to're bringing to court. They're
21:23
trying just to get a settlement out of court from
21:26
a company. So if you take their license away, they'll
21:30
stop doing it.
21:31
Speaker 3: I like that, Hey, before I run to the news here,
21:34
Bob House, Constitution Day in Moscow celebrated. Are their parades
21:38
in Red Square or anything before the US constitutions?
21:41
Speaker 1: Actually they don't have Constitution Day, but last weekend they
21:46
had their annual marches for Christianity and the Orthodox Church
21:51
throughout Russia. I mean you had tens of thousands of
21:54
people walking the streets in Moscow with you with Russian
22:01
Hey Brandt.
22:02
Speaker 2: And her name is Shary.
22:03
Speaker 23: I love.
22:04
Speaker 24: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
22:06
for because of a surgery. She just went through.
22:09
Speaker 25: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
22:12
talk about all the time, which.
22:13
Speaker 24: Is meta share.
22:14
Speaker 25: That is right.
22:14
Speaker 24: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
22:17
and healthcare ability?
22:18
Speaker 25: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is when
22:21
you're already nervous about a health issue which I was.
22:24
Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
22:27
me tell you, having people pray with you when you
22:31
call in with your need.
22:32
Speaker 26: That is just refreshing.
22:34
Speaker 25: Yes, that's what it is.
22:35
Speaker 4: What I keep telling people.
22:36

Speaker 27: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
23:06
Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
23:11
better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
23:16
up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
23:20
veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
23:25
personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
23:31
and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
23:35
on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
23:40
a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
23:44
AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
23:48
your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
23:53
center of our profession. For more information on AI and
23:57

Speaker 4: A message from FEMA and the couple you did your
28:02
bob No.
28:08
Speaker 2: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
28:15
Joe Thomas.
28:31
Speaker 3: Tadnesday morning, and Bob was on the line, was just
28:34
telling us right as we're heading to the news break
28:36
about of these religious ceremonies all going on around Moscow.
28:41
Maybe not for the US Constitution, but for Christianity. You
28:45
didn't see that during the Soviet Union, did your Bob?
28:48
Speaker 1: No? And it was all peaceful. It's just like when
28:52
the Muslims have their Ramadan, they have peaceful marches, they
28:57
have no one bothers them, no one bothers them and
29:00
three part which celebrates the end of World War two
29:03
when they're praying on the last day Ramadan. So why
29:07
can't it work in a so called bad country, in
29:11
an art country? If you tried doing that, you'd be shot.
29:14
Speaker 4: Or at least arrested. And now we're back to the
29:17
tort reform. Thank you, Bob. You have a good morning,
29:20
sir hey By.
29:22
Speaker 3: And I know it was rhetorical, but the question is,
29:25
and it's because of these cunning linguists, most of them
29:29
with some sort of legal degree, and a burgeoning population
29:34
of our jurists are law degree holders. Never even go
29:40
into a bar, never mind try to pass the bar.
29:43
They're studying law so that they can weaponize the law.
29:47
They work in these shadowy rooms. Some of them are
29:50
like these folks that Michael Bloomberg hires for his nonprofit,
29:56
his in viro lobby. Maybe Bloomberg's the one behind this
29:59
man a lawsuit, but they are the ones who go
30:04
out there and say I know the law. They don't
30:06
ever have to practice the law. What their job is
30:09
to do is to go and create law that fits
30:13
within the package and then finding what's the phrase, judge shop,
30:20
to find some support for these ministrations. And that's how
30:28
you wind up with this so Bob so in Moscow.
30:31
I presume that if somebody was to cause violence in
30:35
the square while during a Ramadan ceremony, it's going to
30:40
be pretty bad for them in the judicial system. I mean,
30:44
just ask Britney Griner how his I mean, her experience
30:49
in the Russian penal system was no, I said, penal,
30:54
not penile.
30:56
Speaker 4: Stop.
31:00
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's just one of those Internet things. So
31:09
how is the Russian judicial system able to keep people
31:14
from blowing people up? Because there are punishments, because if
31:19
you violate somebody else's rights, and I'm sure the Russian constitution,
31:25
the Russian Federation's constitution has things that you're allowed to do.
31:30
See Tim Kaine's view on the government giving you rights.
31:33
So the Russian Federation, I'm sure their constitution says we
31:37
will protect your rights to do certain things. Therefore they've
31:42
given you these rights, and if you violate somebody's rights,
31:47
you're going to jail.
31:49
Speaker 4: But we hear we.
31:50
Speaker 3: Have these cunning linguists, these cloud scapers who who want
31:54
to cause ambiguity? Is this really? And I'm sure Charlie
32:02
Kirk's assassins defense attorney is out there saying, well, he
32:06
didn't mean to kill him, He meant to scare him
32:10
or something like that, or he was not mentally sound.
32:14
And Charlie Kirk is to blame because you're already hearing it.
32:18
I mean the moratorium on people. I know we have
32:21
the story in First Things one hundred one hundred Texas
32:25
teachers might lose their license. Joe Scarborough yesterday saying this,
32:30
Charlie Kirk would have hated this war on free speech.
32:34
Who's and Joe Scarborough ought to know he held an elected
32:38
office for a while that if an employer fires somebody
32:44
because they say something that causes the enterprise disrepute, they
32:55
can fire them. I mean now in the post union world,
33:02
that can be a little dodgy. You see where New
33:06
York City has an entire school that is staffed with
33:11
staffers who have been removed from actual classroom education because
33:17
of bad behaviors, but.
33:20
Speaker 4: The union protected them so they couldn't lose their job.
33:23
Speaker 3: They just have to go file paperwork at this school office.
33:32
Because we find it more and more difficult in this country, Bob,
33:37
to punish people for transgressing each other's rights, because we've
33:43
developed this excuse economy. Everything is excusable now everything comes
33:53
with mitigating circumstances. My client assassinated Charlie Kirk because he
33:59
likes transgender man and Charlie Kirk doesn't. Sorry, that's not
34:04
a well he was crazy because of it. I mean,
34:07
the world is going to be for what was I
34:10
always forget? And it's famous, I mean famous character from
34:17
the book and then the movie One flew oh gosh,
34:20
and it's what's one of those names you should know
34:23
off the top of your head, but the oh gosh,
34:30
And somebody's gonna text it to me in a second.
34:34
It's like Melvin or something. But the character Jack Nicholson
34:37
played and one flew over the cuckoo's nest. So you know,
34:40
he's in there in the insane asylum because his lawyer
34:44
convinced them that if he was crazy, or if he
34:46
convinced the court he was crazy, he'd get off on
34:48
whatever crime he had been charged with committing and ends
34:58
up losing his mind. I mean literally a big chunk
35:01
of it. But the the excuse industry, the indulgences that
35:13
we ask for are all over the place, and everything
35:17
is now explainable, and oh, well, my client was insane,
35:22
so you can't punish him for murder because he obviously
35:27
was too crazy to understand thou shalt not commit murder.
35:30
So you have to, you know, give him three hots
35:32
and a cot for the rest of his life and say,
35:34
oh ohen, we don't have insane asylums anymore, so we
35:37
need special you know, outpatient And in the last time
35:45
I saw that David Berkowitz aka son of Sam, petition
35:49
for release. He was using some of the precedent of
35:52
some of the folks who were not prosecuted for violent offenses, saying,
35:57
why am I being unjustly persecuted for something that isn't
36:01
even necessarily a misdemeanor any minds. I'm stretching it. I
36:07
don't think people are being charged with misdemeanors for shooting
36:10
people in their.
36:11
Speaker 4: Cars, but Berkowitz's defenses.
36:14
Speaker 3: There's a lot of people who aren't being charged with
36:16
murder for doing worse stuff than he did. That's what
36:21
we have to get our head back on. Good Morning,
36:23
You're on the air, first thing with Joe Thomas.
36:25
Speaker 4: Who's this Good Morning? Joe's Joel? Hey Joel, how are
36:29
you this morning? Sir?
36:32
Speaker 26: Well, I'm okay. I got a lot going on, but
36:34
the program's not about me.
36:36
Speaker 2: It's about well.
36:37
Speaker 3: But the program is about all of us, and the
36:41
Lord gives us nothing we cannot handle, so I'm to
36:44
remember that.
36:45
Speaker 4: Thank you.
36:48
Speaker 26: I was at church yesterday. I've been trying to go
36:50
every day since I'm going through my stuff, but I
36:56
heard a great word logos and it means reason or
37:01
or or or divine word of God. There's you know,
37:04
different interpretations, but basically meaning reason and divine word of God.
37:09
And I don't think I mean, I I know in
37:13
my heart that Charlie Kirk wasn't killed just because of
37:17
what he what he was doing. As far as for America,
37:21
he was he was killed for what he was doing
37:23
for God, and then through America his his word, his
37:26
word through Jesus, and how he tried to live his life.
37:31
And I believe it's it's it's not just about good
37:35
or evil, it's about the truth. And of course truth
37:38
and love come from God, the real truth. And I
37:42
remember a few years ago I said something, and I
37:45
do I know you recorded it, but I said, where
37:46
are we going to go with the truth? Where are
37:48
we going with the truth in this country?
37:50
Speaker 10: No?
37:50
Speaker 3: I had that That was a great question because it's
37:53
you know, it's our programming philosophy.
37:55
Speaker 4: Where are we going to go with it? Where are
37:56
we going to go for the truth? In place?
38:00
Speaker 24: Never mind, life can change so abruptly.
38:04
Speaker 4: Just ask Paul.
38:05
Speaker 24: He's a hardworking entrepreneur, he's young, he's got a young family. Suddenly, though,
38:09
he develops a rare medical condition where he lost the
38:12
use of both of his arms.
38:14
Speaker 17: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer,
38:16
couldn't type, couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold
38:18
my son, who was about a month old.
38:20
Speaker 24: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
38:23
but they're so thankful that they're members of Meta Share.
38:27
Speaker 17: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does medicare
38:30
really work? I'm living proof that it works. My four
38:33
children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
38:36
have been healed, are living proof that menashare works. Just
38:40
knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
38:42
are going to be taken care of when we have
38:44
some type of medical problem, that is such a huge
38:46
blessing to us.
38:47
Speaker 24: It could be a huge blessing to you to people
38:50
save so much and love being part of meta share.

39:04
Speaker 6: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
39:08
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
39:13
am 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 32: 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 33: Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans,
41:37
some of whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics,
41:40
alerting them when there's a change in their blood chemistry.
41:43

42:13
Speaker 17: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my

42:18
call me a ride.
42:20
Speaker 13: Love that guy, me too.

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.
42:40
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home

energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
42:46
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.

That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
42:53
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
42:56
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
43:00
when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
43:03
energy Star logo and read the energy guide label. And
43:06
there are day to day things you can do. Lower

What what has happened is we have defined, We've come
45:16
up with this new American phrase, your truth. And that's
45:20
I think the underpinnings of what we were just talking about,
45:22
which is, well, I should be allowed to do this
45:25
because in my world, this is what I see and
45:29
and that's where we're coming apart. That's where Bob and
45:32
Moscow see such a different world than what he left
45:35
behind in the United States.
45:38
Speaker 26: Right and the whole. And I agree, and there is
45:41
a point to individuality. But then the individuality in America
45:46
is through our with our union of our belief and God,
45:51
our Judeo Christian beliefs, and our freedom that are inalienable
45:56
rights which can't be taken away if you believe in God,
45:59
but also our strength and our voice. And why why
46:03
was the why was the First Amendment the first the
46:06
most important part of the you know that.
46:10
Speaker 4: Our Bill of rights? Why why is it.
46:12
Speaker 26: The most important you know part of our first Amendment rights?
46:16
Speaker 3: Well, because it's the essence by which a free society operates.
46:19
I mean technically, in the first draft of the Bill
46:22
of Rights. It wasn't the first one, but it is
46:26
pre eminent amongst all our ability to speak freely. But
46:29
the important thing, and this is where my truth stuff
46:33
comes out in a free society, your rights and when
46:38
they infringe somebody else's rights. And that's where all these
46:42
you know, justice prosecutors. While he stole because he doesn't
46:46
have enough, well, no, his right to steal ends at
46:50
my right to have my property protected. And that's what
46:53
these leftists and this is what Charlie Kirk was dragging
46:56
out into the sunlight.
46:57
Speaker 4: This is the essence of what they want to tear
46:59
it down, is.
47:00
Speaker 3: The ability of your rights rather than your privileges. You
47:04
want to have a place to live, and we have
47:07
too many people who are ready to sign off on
47:10
the idea of I don't need free speech, I need
47:13
a place to live. And that's a bad place, Joel,
47:18
a very bad place.
47:20
Speaker 26: I agree. And like you said, you know a few
47:23
days ago or last week, it all has to do
47:25
with dominion, doesn't it.
47:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I don't mean the electric utility either. It
47:30
has to you know, who that's true. See now, then
47:33
now you're smiling. That's going to pick up your day.
47:36
Joel hanging there, my friend. And there's always it's always
47:41
darkest before the dawn or something like that, President Reagan said,
47:46
And as the last time I checked, the sunrises in
47:49
the same place, even in Florida, you know, much to Disney's.
47:53
You know, Disney, I'm sure would love to have the
47:55
sunrise where they wanted to, but they haven't quite figured
47:58
that out yet. But enjoy your Flora morning, my friend.
48:02
Speaker 4: Thank you, Joe, thanks for everything, not at all.
48:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd call him Florida man, but there's a bad
48:07
implication in that phrase. And we've got a bunch of
48:11
Florida men. They interact with the program. You know, it's
48:14
hamp Or John down on the Treasure Coast, and Andy
48:18
up in Sarasota and all the folks Tampa. And by
48:21
the way, on the subject, oh Florida. Before we go
48:25
back to text message, Well, if that wasn't the first Amendment,
48:30
what was with a screencap of the first episode of
48:33
The West Wing. Now, I'm not debating what the first
48:36
commandment is. The first the first Amendment wasn't at all, right,
48:41
TSO contest. Go online to Joe Thomas in the Morning
48:44
dot com. We have tickets to all these TSO shows
48:48
Trans Siberian Orchestra in your cities where you're receiving this program,
48:54
like Tampa and Jacksonville and or Orlando. All right, So,
48:58
the original Bill of Rights as sent to the States
49:03
for ratification, tell me the world wouldn't be a different
49:07
place if this particular amendment had made it through not ratified. Actually,
49:18
the first two proposed amendments restrictions on the government, didn't
49:23
get ratified. The second one didn't get ratified until nineteen
49:27
ninety two. The first one, as applied after the first
49:34
enumeration required by the first Article of the Constitution, there
49:39
shall be one representative for every thirty thousand, until the
49:43
number shall amount to one hundred, after which the proportion
49:48
shall be so regulated by Congress that there shall be
49:52
not less than one hundred and not less than one
49:56
hundred representatives, nor less than one representative for every forty
50:00
thousand persons, until the number of representatives reaches two hundred,
50:05
after which the proportion shall be regulated by Congress that
50:08
there shall not be less than two hundred representatives, nor
50:12
more than one representative for every fifty thousand persons. I
50:17
was the first, that was the first proposed amendment on
50:21
this Constitution day. Bill of Rights Day is until December.
50:27
Trust me, I've read the Bill of Rights out loud
50:30
in a public performance and frozen my first amendments off.
50:37
So I know that Bill of Rights Day is until December.
50:40
But you imagine a world where it was would be
50:44
a constitutional requirement that your congressmen only represent fifty thousand people.
50:51
You know what the average congressional district now houses in
50:54
terms of population, seven hundred and ten thousand. Some states
51:00
are more, some states or less. But you know the
51:04
average congressional district is in access of seven hundred thousand people.
51:12
Would Ronald Reagan say, do a little arithmetic. And that
51:20
also applies to our courtrooms as well. It also applies
51:23
to the electoral college. But by the original first Amendment
51:38
to the Constitution, we are one fourteenth diluted in terms
51:44
of our representation in Congress. So imagine a Congress with
51:54
six thousand members. You think it would be easily corrupted
51:59
by George Soros and for my friends on the left,
52:02
the Koch Foundation. You think Americans for prosperity any more
52:08
than the American Teachers Union could wield as much power
52:11
over a congress of six thousand people.
52:15
Speaker 4: That's how large the country's grown.
52:17
Speaker 3: Now there are the Larry Sabados of the world that
52:19
would portend that you couldn't have one congress of six
52:23
thousand people. So then we would have to be regional
52:26
the southeast, the southwest, the northwest, the northeast, the Middle
52:31
States call it the flyover district. And then they would
52:37
have their regional congresses, and then we're no better than
52:41
the European Union at that point. That was the original
52:46
first Amendment. I won't tell you what the original second
52:48
one was.
52:49
Speaker 4: Yet.
52:51
Speaker 23: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
52:55
turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
52:57
Speaker 24: It was metisrt that came through force.
53:00
Speaker 1: There was no hassles, there was no problem.
53:02
Speaker 23: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
53:05
of such an incredible ministry.
53:07
Speaker 14: Meta share is a biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
53:11
share each other's medical expenses.
53:13
Speaker 11: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
53:17
with you through the hardest times of your life.
53:20
Speaker 14: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years old,
53:25
and members have shared over eight billion dollars of each
53:27
other's medical bills.
53:28
Speaker 2: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
53:31
Speaker 11: You can focus on on supporting other people.
53:33
Speaker 14: Medashare is affordable, Medishare is biblical.
53:36
Speaker 13: Medashare is family.
53:37
Speaker 14: Join thousands of Christians who can help you save on
53:40
your healthcare and support your family when you need it.
53:43
Call eight five five share forty eight five five share forty.
53:48
That's eight five to five share forty
