"Third Amendment" (Friday October 17, 2025, Hour 4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: This is when arrogance or dupres comes back to buy
• 0:06
  you in the rearrect.

  Speaker 2: First thing today, Hey by Joe Thomas on the Tunk
• 0:10
  Media Network, sound natural and free of artificial intelligence, Stuart.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Said, steal me stem you have a day at least.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: For work when the sun comes up, drops a kid
• 0:22
  into schools.
• 0:24
  Speaker 5: Versus Okay, okay.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: All the jes.
• 0:30
  Speaker 6: No one that Joe's allis smiled.
• 0:32
  Speaker 7: He only as creat.
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: Joe, who is my daughter in there working the production
• 0:40
  equipment this morning? It's going on here. Come on, he's
• 0:50
  talking about John Bolton. You make it sound like he's
• 0:53
  talking about yours. Truly, I know, I know, you're just
• 0:56
  trying to expose my shallow sensitivities and my thin skinnedness.
• 1:01
  Come on, I'm in broadcasting. That's one of the genetic
• 1:05
  prerequisites of being in medias, a desperate need to be
• 1:10
  loved by people you've never met before. Tell me that's
• 1:13
  not psychotic. Never mind the almost translucent thinness of our skins.
• 1:22
  My goodness, and this is a surprise to you. How
• 1:28
  come on, there are dry lake beds that are deeper
• 1:31
  than most broadcasters. I hate to say that. Well, you know,
• 1:35
  actually I don't hate saying it, but it is awkward
• 1:39
  to say because there are so many things that you
• 1:41
  need to know what's going on. That's why we do
• 1:44
  this program, so that you know what's going on, without recompense,
• 1:49
  without agenda. I mean, I have my views on why
• 1:52
  things are the way they are, and we discuss them,
• 1:55
  and I will tell you this is what I read
• 1:57
  in between the tea leaves. But for the rest of it,
• 2:02
  it's it is what happened. We're going to tell you
• 2:05
  what happened, and then you can determine, you know, what
• 2:08
  it means to you on your street as we go
• 2:10
  on through the morning. And that's just fair I you know,
• 2:15
  and I know they they like to say we're about
• 2:17
  fairness on some places, but you know, that's that's what
• 2:21
  we do here. We are ultimately the arbiters of fair
• 2:27
  and if you disagree with something I said, I got
• 2:30
  one we're going to address regarding this story about Nick
• 2:35
  Fuentes and the groupers who I warned you about post
• 2:40
  Charlie Kirk's assassination, and all these supposedly offensive texts that
• 2:47
  have been parsed out of the government records.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: JD.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: Vance and his defense the non defense turning on and
• 2:55
  now Nick Fuentes is after JD. Vans. We'll get into
• 2:58
  all that. No time I'm left for that. Right now,
• 3:01
  it's time for our first things. Can't discuss it until
• 3:05
  you hear about it, and we'll tell you what happened.
• 3:07
  Federal grand jury in Maryland, as you heard the clips
• 3:11
  on the entree of the program, have indicted John Bolton,
• 3:14
  former National security advisor in the first Trump administration, for
• 3:20
  mishandling classified information. And as we understand the charges, that
• 3:25
  mishandling means publishing them in his book and then sending
• 3:30
  them to his publisher, who, as you can imagine, did
• 3:32
  not have security clearance to read them. Senate Democrats blocked
• 3:37
  a bill that would have funded the Pentagon for a
• 3:39
  full year. The vote was fifty to forty four. John
• 3:44
  Thune admitted to reporters that since the partial government shut
• 3:48
  down began, he and Chuck Schumer have not spoken face
• 3:52
  to face. President Trump said yesterday that he's going to
• 3:56
  go and meet with President Viladimir Putin in Hungary in
• 4:00
  an effort to resolve the war in Ukraine. Last night,
• 4:04
  Russia's defense ministry said it bombed a Ukrainian gas infrastructure
• 4:09
  which supports Kiev's military operations. Voladimir Zelenski is due at
• 4:16
  the White House today for what is referred to as
• 4:19
  a working lunch. Speaking of bombing runs and Israeli air
• 4:23
  strike targeting leaders of Yemen's Huti Remebels back in August,
• 4:30
  has been confirmed to have taken out one of their
• 4:33
  top generals. Hutis have acknowledged the death in that strike
• 4:37
  of Major General Muhammad Abdul Karim al Kamari, who had
• 4:41
  been sanctioned by the United Nation over his role in
• 4:44
  the country's decade long war. India has hinted that it's
• 4:49
  going to start buying its crude oil and natural gas
• 4:52
  from US companies as it quote diversifies its energy supplies
• 4:58
  after the President said that Prime Minister Mody assured me
• 5:04
  today that they will not be buying oil from Russia.
• 5:07
  In an Oval Office press briefing yesterday, and those are
• 5:15
  our first things on this That was we're missing a page.
• 5:18
  Somebody steal my page. This is just a follow up
• 5:22
  to all right, well, I'll read this text message on
• 5:27
  our sports report, which was that Aaron Rodgers was bested
• 5:31
  by Joe Flacco for just the same second time in
• 5:34
  their long careers. The Geriatric Bowl, Ellen writes into four three,
• 5:38
  four eight eight two four to two one seven Rogers
• 5:42
  looks road hard and put up wet. Yeah, Flago looked
• 5:47
  okay except the gray and his goatee as he came
• 5:50
  running out on to the field. But you know what,
• 5:54
  bless the forty year old's forty is the new thirty
• 5:57
  or something like that on the media network.
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co host of Foster and
• 6:09
  Friends and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought
• 6:12
  the fame lunch fail to our team, it symbolized teamwork.
• 6:15
  The word win stood for what's important. Now, the Lunch

  Speaker 9: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
• 7:04
  people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
• 7:07
  to look into. And that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
• 7:10
  joining metashare can save you or your family up to
• 7:13
  five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but it's
• 7:16
  also true. People are just happier with it. They love

  being part of something that reflects and promotes their values
• 7:22
  and what they believe in. Meda Share works too. It's
• 7:24

• 8:04
  Speaker 10: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 8:13
  am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

  Speaker 11: 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
• 9:17
  personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  are not from US real Social Security employees will never
• 9:26
  threaten you for information or money.
• 9:28
  Speaker 12: If you receive a call like this, hang up.
• 9:32
  Speaker 11: Never give the call of your personal information like your
• 9:35
  social Security number or bank account, or send money in
• 9:39
  any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers, or prepaid debit cards.
• 9:44
  Report the call to our law enforcement on the Office
• 9:48
  of the Inspector General at OIG dot SSA dot gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 12: Share this information with your friends and family. Hiverybody, I'm Jack.
• 10:00
  Speaker 13: It's always a boy growing up on a farm in Tennessee,
• 10:03
  I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I'm not only in awe of.
• 10:05
  Speaker 13: Their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
• 10:08
  Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
• 10:11
  or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
• 10:14
  or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
• 10:17
  secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
• 10:20
  jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
• 10:22
  in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
• 10:25
  by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
• 10:29
  wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 10:32
  they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
• 10:35
  us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
• 10:37
  whom suffer from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
• 10:41
  when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
• 10:44
  have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to
• 10:46
  society and help those in need. So please join me
• 10:49
  an American Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and
• 10:52
  all the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together.

  Speaker 14: Oh bruh, that's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:05
  Speaker 9: And now a speech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 15: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 16: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 15: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
• 11:15
  brain is saying when it's time to go home.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 14: Love that guy, me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
• 11:24
  it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:29
  Speaker 17: 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

• 11:53
  leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
• 11:56
  improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
• 12:00
  when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
• 12:02
  energy Star logo and read the energy Guide label, and
• 12:06
  there are day to day things you can do. Lower
• 12:09
  your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,

  Speaker 4: 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,
• 12:44
  but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

• 13:11
  Speaker 18: But you also had people that were very five people
• 13:16
  on buz zide.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: On your to do list. Putting the radio on is
• 13:20
  the first thing today, you know.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: It's interesting to me, and I've got some emails. Bob
• 13:45
  will be coming back with us in just a little
• 13:47
  bit as well. It's interesting to me that, Oh, make
• 13:53
  sure I don't forget. I want to ask him about
• 13:55
  the Denver Riggleman stuff when he comes back at the
• 13:58
  baft of the news. Okay, I don't want to forget
• 14:02
  to ask him about this January sixth stuff. But I
• 14:06
  find it interesting that all the folks that bowed scrape
• 14:10
  over taking down civil war memorials and statues and that
• 14:15
  kind of thing seem to be the ones who are
• 14:18
  the most hell bent at fomenting a civil war, and
• 14:25
  a real one of French Revolution style civil war, not
• 14:28
  an invasion of a sovereign country by another who you know,
• 14:34
  one country had used law and said we no longer
• 14:38
  recognize your authority over us, very similar to what we
• 14:41
  did in seventeen seventy six, and then seeing all of
• 14:45
  their tax revenue vanish, the other nation invaded saying oh no, no, no, no, no, no,
• 14:52
  And yes, the cessation was over slavery. And yes, the
• 14:58
  Convention of States had pride several times to convene a
• 15:05
  Convention of States to deal with slavery. And yes, there
• 15:08
  was a constitutional amendment promoted that was quickly caught by
• 15:13
  the Dixie Kratz as the setup that it was remember
• 15:19
  famously that Lincoln was going to sign, and which is
• 15:25
  again misunderstanding history, but that Lincoln was fine with a
• 15:30
  constitutional amendment elevating slavery to a constitutionally protected right, but
• 15:37
  only in certain states, only in states where it was
• 15:40
  grandfathered in. Well, the several states that that applied to
• 15:46
  realized they could do a nose count. They knew that
• 15:49
  we were quickly on our way to becoming forty fifty
• 15:53
  states and they were going to be outnumbered, and that
• 15:57
  amendment would be voted down faster than you can say prohibition.
• 16:06
  So they didn't go for that, and they succeeded all
• 16:08
  of that. So the race baiting of the Civil War.
• 16:14
  Donald Trump again asked in the discussions in the Oval
• 16:19
  Office yesterday about this arch that he wants to build
• 16:23
  and other things he was talking about.
• 16:25
  Speaker 16: Or if you said you're having a war.
• 16:27
  Speaker 18: I think they have a good reason not to build
• 16:29
  it again. You know, they were building the Washington Monument.
• 16:32
  Then they stopped and you could see where they stopped
• 16:34
  because they showed us a little.
• 16:36
  Speaker 12: Different color when you get up to the middle.
• 16:38
  Speaker 18: But anyway, they stopped here, and then they were in
• 16:42
  nineteen oh two they were going to put a statue
• 16:44
  of Roberty Lee.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Would have been okay with the name.
• 16:48
  Speaker 12: A lot of people would have liked it, would have
• 16:50
  been okay with the name.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: And everyone's lost their bawel control because they're getting their
• 16:55
  twenty seventeen on. Why do they have to get their
• 16:57
  twenty seventeen on? That was the year of the riots
• 17:00
  here in our flagship city of Charlottesville, and all the
• 17:04
  riots across America, mostly peaceful ones, right, it was mostly
• 17:10
  peaceful when they sprayed me in the face with pepper
• 17:12
  spray repeatedly for reporting on what was going. But but
• 17:18
  in and amongst this comes this story of the tweets
• 17:22
  that from various members of what they call the Young Republicans,
• 17:30
  and the Young Republicans is actually a group of college students.
• 17:35
  So they may be and there is no vetting as
• 17:45
  they parse through chains of text messages involving White House staffers.
• 17:56
  Smithy writes in to JT and The Morning Radio, it
• 18:01
  doesn't help that politico cut up the messages to suit
• 18:04
  their needs. A screenshot of the Hitler post on X
• 18:08
  from the Young Republicans is the first one that political shows.
• 18:13
  The second one is the entire thread, and in it
• 18:21
  it shows the string of conversation that's basically talking about
• 18:25
  vice chairs of various state parties. And I think there's
• 18:31
  a bigger thing, Smithy in this then, which is the
• 18:35
  Republican structure within the party of how these committees decide things.
• 18:42
  Who does what within the committees? Who It begins one
• 18:50
  of the participants ad, the one that makes the Hitler
• 18:54
  no ad leads to had some back and forth with
• 18:58
  the vice chair in Michigan current chair. There is a
• 19:00
  deer in headlights. We have a call Wednesday, and these
• 19:04
  political parties that love their calls. Oh, these are such
• 19:10
  such black holes of productivity. Everyone sits around and they
• 19:15
  all do zoom now. So everyone's sitting in their office
• 19:18
  on their laptop and they just everyone it's just all,
• 19:23
  this is what I want. This is what I want,
• 19:25
  This is what I want. This is what I want.
• 19:26
  This is what the bylaws say about what I want.
• 19:29
  And then PG, in the conversation says, many agree, I
• 19:36
  presume about the deer in the headlights and the Michigan
• 19:40
  Party chair, he did say, my delegates, I will bring
• 19:45
  a vote for the most right wing person. Pg's response
• 19:50
  is great, I love Hitler and and there they went.
• 19:57
  And that was the conversation that GO picked up on.
• 20:01
  Now here's the thing and Smithy, I don't know if
• 20:04
  you heard earlier, we were talking about this and how
• 20:07
  the left, through sites like Politico, etc. Are trying to
• 20:14
  get their twenty seventeen on it. It was my point
• 20:17
  that they're doing this because they are berefed of any
• 20:20
  other plan. The best they can do is go back
• 20:23
  and say, hey, what worked in twenty seventeen, Let's get
• 20:28
  some white supremacists out there. Enter Nick Twenttes and nearly
• 20:37
  said Fretis. Nick Fredis is a whole lot different who
• 20:41
  actually goes on to his little video cast and tells
• 20:45
  his sycophants, his acolytes whatever, don't write this stuff down.
• 20:53
  So apparently it's okay to believe it, but just don't
• 20:56
  write it down so you can get caught because that's
• 20:59
  exactly what the left does with their political you know,
• 21:02
  just don't do it. Invent your own website, start your
• 21:04
  own website. That'll be fine. And they're going to use
• 21:12
  folks like this guy. Fointees and his groupers already seen
• 21:18
  trying to take over the narrative after Charlie Kirk's assassination.
• 21:23
  They were the ones out there saying Charlie Kirk had
• 21:26
  you know, it was Israel that had shot Charlie Kirk
• 21:29
  and all of that. Smithy. These people are, you know,
• 21:33
  are not necessarily good for the Republican Party because just
• 21:37
  like the leaders of the Unite the Reich rally that
• 21:40
  took over Charlottesville and dominated an entire year of my
• 21:44
  life because I was trying to explain to people there
• 21:47
  was nothing conservative about them. These are just people who
• 21:51
  want a place at the table that they aren't entitled to,
• 21:55
  they haven't earned. They just want it because they're the loudest.
• 22:01
  Speaker 19: Hey, guys, I'm Teddy Savage. National League Training for Planet
• 22:04
  Fitness and the American Heart Association recommends that we all
• 22:07
  get at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate
• 22:10
  aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the thing
• 22:13
  that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
• 22:15
  be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could
• 22:18
  just be you moving your body and doing what you
• 22:20
  already love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart
• 22:23
  doesn't just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your
• 22:27
  workout routines with strength training as well. So we are
• 22:30
  super excited to be launching our new plateloaded Strength series
• 22:34

• 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
  nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:42
  cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 24:45
  in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 24:50
  healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

  leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
• 26:51
  improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
• 26:54
  when you shop for a new appliance look for the

  join us for my family's Christmas tradition. We kick off
• 28:38
  every Christmas season with a trip to see the Trans
• 28:41
  Siberian Orchestra and concert. And I didn't even know. I
• 28:47
  knew the guys who were founding the band and it
• 28:49
  was neat uh And it's a great treat. And especially
• 28:53
  now with the advent of First Thing Today by Joe Thomas,
• 28:57
  there are so many cities where they are going to
• 28:59
  play and we are listened to. So we're going to
• 29:03
  take the opportunity to thank you for listening to us

• 29:24
  We start Monday morning. I know we were going to
• 29:26
  start this week, didn't but we're going to start Monday morning.
• 29:30
  We wanted to make sure we matched up with the
• 29:32
  latest lists of where we're being listened to, and you
• 29:38
  can enter when there's a list of cities that we're
• 29:42
  heard in on the entry form, go there to Joe
• 29:45
  Thomas in the morning dot com and entered win. We,
• 29:49
  like I said, we start doing drawings Monday morning. Here
• 29:53
  on the first thing today, former Chair of the House
• 29:56
  Freedom Concus hosts now of the Good for America podcast,
• 30:02
  was joining us, and just as before we went to
• 30:05
  the news, at the top of the hour, we were
• 30:07
  talking about.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Tacking up Buddy GNOSSI.
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: Yes, the Schumer shut down is everyone likes to call it.
• 30:18
  But as I remember the poll a you gov poll,
• 30:21
  thirty nine percent blame Republicans, thirty three percent blame the Democrats,
• 30:30
  and the other twenty eight percent hadn't realized the government
• 30:33
  had shut down yet. But Bob, I wanted to ask you,
• 30:36
  you know, you talked to folks and you have many
• 30:38
  compatriots still from the Freedom Caucus. What is it you
• 30:42
  hear regarding getting out of this shutdown? Partially? Even though
• 30:47
  though it may be what do you got?
• 30:50
  Speaker 24: Well, it doesn't seem to be nearing an end. And
• 30:54
  I think that there's probably some credibility to the speculation
• 30:57
  at the Democrat leadership to get through this No King's
• 31:01
  protest without having the Democrat radical most radical elements of
• 31:06
  the Democrat base turning on them for making a deal
• 31:09
  with Republicans to open the government or making a deal
• 31:12
  with Trout that they need this image of standing up
• 31:15
  and fighting, if you will, going into these protests that
• 31:18
  are apparently going to take place across the country. However,
• 31:21
  I think Republicans ought to just capitalize on it and
• 31:24
  try to break the Democrats politically and not give in.
• 31:28
  I do worry about promises or a deal being made
• 31:31
  to extend the Obamacare subsidies the presidents might do that.
• 31:36
  I'm concerned that liberal modern Republicans will fight for that,
• 31:40
  and that a deal may be in the coming to
• 31:42
  that effect. I certainly hope not. But I think that
• 31:45
  John Dunne is wise to make Democrats vote against either
• 31:49
  try to get them to vote pay the military, or
• 31:52
  let Democrats be revealed for who they are by refusing
• 31:55
  to vote to pay the military.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: Well, and you mentioned the Obamacare sub cities, I said
• 32:01
  in two thousand and nine. In twenty ten, obviously not
• 32:04
  being allowed to read the bill because they hadn't voted
• 32:06
  for it yet, but it seemed to me that everything
• 32:11
  I was learning about the patient protection and affordable care
• 32:14
  it seemed to be that it was designed to collapse
• 32:17
  the free market healthcare system and leave us no choice.
• 32:21
  But single payer government, did you see the same thing.
• 32:23
  I guess absolutely.
• 32:26
  Speaker 24: It was designed to destroy.
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: Employer provided healthcare.
• 32:28
  Speaker 24: Democrats measure success by how many people are dependent upon
• 32:32
  the government. That's how they measure. How many people they
• 32:34
  get on food stamps, how many people they get on welfare,
• 32:36
  how many they get people they get on Medicaid, how
• 32:38
  many people they get on cash welfare, whatever it might be.
• 32:41
  And Obamacare, Obamacare has made insurance worse. Obambacare has made
• 32:45
  insurance more expensive. There's a reason why no one will
• 32:48
  buy it without tax subsidies paid for federal subsidies paid
• 32:52
  for by your tax dollars. And there's a reason why
• 32:54
  it needs to be propped up or would collapse under
• 32:56
  its own way. Almost every Republican voted against Obamacare. Republicans
• 33:01
  cannot be in a posician to extend Obamacare. Let it
• 33:03
  die on the vine. Let these and frankly, these subsidies expire,
• 33:07
  these enhanced subsidies that came in during COVID, they would
• 33:09
  still be available, just not as much government provided healthcare.
• 33:14
  People would have to pay a slightly larger share of
• 33:17
  their own. And it was massively expanded to people that
• 33:20
  are not under the poverty level far above the profity
• 33:23
  level by Joe Biden and Republicans cannot make a deal
• 33:26
  and portray the voters, portray the American people by making
• 33:29
  a deal to keep a taxpayer provided obambacare What.
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: Do you hear within this? The story within the story
• 33:35
  is that Mike Johnson is facing his own, you know,
• 33:40
  speaker battle based on the rules as you helped Shepherd
• 33:45
  in at the Freedom concus There are people saying Johnson
• 33:48
  doesn't survive this as Speaker of the House, even if
• 33:50
  the Republicans may. Oh, I guess the Republicans are going
• 33:53
  to maintain the majority into next year. But what do
• 33:56
  you hear about that from friends like you know, Chip
• 33:59
  Roy and the folks still there at the Freedom Concass.
• 34:02
  Is there a move to oust him?
• 34:04
  Speaker 24: I don't think so. I don't think Johnson has a
• 34:07
  lot of respect and a lot of support Trump Trump
• 34:11
  is the one who determines Johnson's face. As long as
• 34:14
  President Trump supports Johnson, Republicans will fall online and continue
• 34:17
  to support Johnson. If President Trump were to call for
• 34:20
  Johnson to be replaced, he would absolutely be replaced. In
• 34:24
  my view. So it's all about President Trump. I think
• 34:26
  Johnson was in danger last November after the elections of
• 34:29
  continue to serve as speaker. I think there would have
• 34:31
  been a contest if President Trump had not expressed his
• 34:34
  support for Johnson. Johnson continues to comply and to whatever
• 34:40
  President Trump wants, and as long as he does that,
• 34:42
  I think they'll stay a.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: Speakable Speaking of folks who are turning on the president,
• 34:47
  I know that the left wing media is making a
• 34:50
  lot of Hey, Nicole Wallace gleefully reporting on how Joe
• 34:54
  Rogan and Marjorie Taylor Green have lost their stomach for
• 34:58
  deporting non citizens back to the countries they're in. Heard
• 35:02
  it come up in the AG's debate. Oh there, I'd
• 35:05
  stand up to the president taking people out of our
• 35:08
  community in a Jones didn't say citizens. What do you
• 35:12
  make of that, Bob? You know some of these players.
• 35:16
  Is this just you know why the Democrats continue to
• 35:20
  play this narrative that they're just people trying to get
• 35:23
  along and you're taking them and throwing them in concentration camps.
• 35:29
  Speaker 24: When someone comes to this country illegal, the first act
• 35:32
  on our soil is to break our laws. We are
• 35:34
  a nation of laws. We are a nation of lawful,
• 35:37
  legal immigration where people pledge their allegiance to our country
• 35:40
  and renounce their allegiance to any other country, and they
• 35:44
  take a citizenship test, and they learn about our constitution,
• 35:48
  about our laws and our principles and so forth. And
• 35:51
  it's a wonderful thing to allow people who earn their
• 35:54
  citizenship and desire to become part of this country to
• 35:56
  make us stronger and better. To do that, however, we
• 35:59
  ought to in my view, follow through and deport everyone
• 36:03
  who is here illegally, make them apply for citizenship to
• 36:06
  a lawful, lawful men methods, and a better in place
• 36:10
  for us as the most generous country in the world
• 36:13
  and when it comes to immigration. But President Trump and
• 36:16
  his team should follow through, and Republicans ought to support that.
• 36:20
  And you know, it's always disappointed mean when I hear
• 36:22
  Republicans and there are some who don't believe in that
• 36:24
  and don't really want us to follow through do that.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: It's just I think it's not the face, you know
• 36:28
  from that great movie documentary Blazing Saddles, where you're not
• 36:32
  the face you know, go ahead, hit me, just not
• 36:35
  in the face Bob last question. And I'm pretty sure
• 36:39
  I know which road you're going to choose here. Just
• 36:42
  the news yesterday, I guess the day before yesterday released
• 36:45
  an expose showing that your predecessor in Congress, Denver Riggleman,
• 36:52
  had illegally surveilled lots of American citizens, not just members
• 36:57
  of the Senate. And the timeline born out in his
• 37:01
  book and what Adam Kinsinger is tweeted about have connected
• 37:05
  all the dots on this. Do you have thoughts on
• 37:07
  this or are you going to take the high road?
• 37:09
  Speaker 24: Well, I just would say that we want the same
• 37:12
  things that we talked about earlier in this conversation. We
• 37:15
  want truth, we want justice. We want everybody held accountable
• 37:18
  if people have broken the law, that ought to be
• 37:20
  held accountable. To do that, our First Amendment protections are
• 37:23
  Fifth Amendment and Fourth Amendment protections matter, and if the
• 37:28
  folks have violated those, they ought to be held accountable.
• 37:31
  And I hope that federal law enforcement will look into
• 37:34
  it accordingly and bring justice based on the.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: Law and actually considering you know, the Amendments. I'll even
• 37:40
  throw the Third Amendment in there to keep Denver Riggleman
• 37:44
  and the soldiers of the government intelligence apparatus out of
• 37:48
  my home without my permission. Bob, God bless you, sir.

  Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a

  few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.

  Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
• 41:24
  diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

  Speaker 1: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 42:55
  first date?
• 42:56
  Speaker 22: Sure?
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: We'll probably stay together.
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: Probably, it's been twenty three minutes since I ate I
• 43:03
  can probably swim.
• 43:05
  Speaker 22: You should wait thirty minutes. Okay, I'll tell.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Me what to do.
• 43:09

  Speaker 2: It was the sound the first Thing today by Joe
• 44:13
  Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:15
  Speaker 9: But I'm afraid of the Russians.
• 44:19
  Speaker 24: I can't sleep at night.
• 44:23
  Speaker 16: I'm so afraid of the Russians.
• 44:26
  Speaker 22: Afraid we've got to fight.
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: So understand how the deal works. If you never read
• 44:32
  Art of the Deal, or you never watched the Apprentice,
• 44:35
  I mean, however it may be, Or if you've never
• 44:38
  been that guy, uh, and you walk in as I've been,
• 44:43
  and I have to confess I'm the I'm the guy
• 44:46
  who believes that the merits alone are enough. I just,
• 44:55
  you know, finished a legal battle based on the idea
• 44:58
  that I was knit or naive, let's go with naive
• 45:03
  enough to believe that just presenting a good idea should
• 45:07
  be sufficient to come to an agreement to put a
• 45:14
  process together without going into the gory details. But anyway,
• 45:19
  so my naivete on deal making sometimes is driven. I
• 45:26
  do understand that sometimes you have to make somebody see
• 45:31
  the benefits of them first, because in marketing, which anyone
• 45:40
  is in, if you're a butcher, a baker, a candlestick maker,
• 45:43
  at some point you need to make somebody know that
• 45:46
  you are there, regardless butcher, baker, senior caretaker, whatever. You
• 45:54
  need to let people know that you do the voodoo
• 45:57
  that you do. So you have to mark. You have
• 46:00
  to go and tell somebody, hey, I'm here. I can
• 46:03
  take care of your mom, your dad, whatever, I'll walk
• 46:09
  your dogs, I'll clean up after your dogs. I mean
• 46:13
  there are all sorts of companies. I mean there are
• 46:14
  actual companies that will come out and clean up your
• 46:17
  dog's pooh for you. And those companies are popping up
• 46:23
  like crazy given the government layoffs, but correlation, I'm not sure.
• 46:32
  But this deal with Russia. All of a sudden, Vlad
• 46:36
  the Invaders flying to Hungary to meet with President Trump
• 46:42
  again and pardon the Milania Trump moment. Yeah, he says
• 46:49
  this to you don on the phone and then goes
• 46:52
  and bombs an energy plant in Kiev. But I believe
• 47:01
  if there is any righteousness to Vlad the Invaders saying sure,
• 47:05
  let's go meet in Hungary, what the leader of Hungary
• 47:10
  is calling an island of peace. It'll be interesting to
• 47:15
  see what happens when Putin flies over countries that are
• 47:19
  signatories to the World Court. Do they try to bring
• 47:23
  his plane down? Does the American Air Force fly shotgun
• 47:28
  to keep that from happening. But this starts with the
• 47:36
  deal in Israel because now Russia. You have to Sometimes
• 47:43
  when there's not enough of a market, or you're inventing
• 47:45
  something that's never happened before, like cola, you have to
• 47:51
  create a market for it. You have to make people
• 47:56
  want something that they never knew they wanted. And I
• 48:03
  think Trump has been doing that, taking away Vlad the
• 48:10
  Invaders buddies one by one, Saudi Arabia in this peace
• 48:16
  deal with Egypt, with Israel India now going to start
• 48:26
  buying oil from US, our companies rather than the Russian Federation.
• 48:36
  He's losing friends in the world, he's losing revenue streams
• 48:42
  in the world. Now, all of a sudden, he's like,
• 48:45
  you know what, I might need to have peace in
• 48:47
  this thing. We might need to wrap this up. That's
• 48:54
  how you do this. When somebody doesn't believe they need
• 48:57
  your product, whether it be a vaccine or a bottle
• 49:03
  of cola or a preservative whose name is longer than
• 49:09
  my forearm, you have to convince them that they have
• 49:13
  a need for it. You have to say to them, hey,
• 49:20
  you may not know it, but you need this stuff.
• 49:22
  And when they say as they will logically say no,
• 49:26
  I don't, I've never needed it. Come on, have taste
• 49:30
  this coke. You see it, you feel a little happier. Yeah,
• 49:36
  that's our slogan is have a coke and a smile.
• 49:39
  Didn't think you needed that, but you know, somewhere around
• 49:43
  two three o'clock in the afternoon, you need a little
• 49:45
  bottle of soda, you know, pick you up for the
• 49:48
  rest of the day. You didn't know you needed all
• 49:53
  these vaccinations, but man, there's viruses flying out there from labs,
• 49:58
  you know, manufactured by men, so you better be protected
• 50:02
  from it because we've now created that. I'm sorry laying
• 50:08
  on too many layers probably, but putin it seems like
• 50:13
  has now reached a point where he's like, all right, now,
• 50:16
  Saudi Arabia is gone, India is gone. Maybe we should meet,
• 50:20
  maybe we should talk. And then what happens to Iran?
• 50:26
  Because Iran is the one with no one left to
• 50:30
  dance with.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: Me.
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: Yes, technically they're in the same room as communists China,
• 50:38
  but they're really dancing with North Korea, and North Korea
• 50:43
  is just you know, the BFF of China. So you know,
• 50:52
  all right, I'll pass the message along to my buddy China.
• 50:59
  This text me, what do you mean about the Third Amendment? Joe,
• 51:02
  I don't get it. Third Amendment says you can't station
• 51:08
  soldiers in your house without permission of without your permission.
• 51:16
  This was written because one of the things that happened
• 51:20
  when King George decided he didn't want to give up
• 51:22
  the colonies and that they were acting in an un
• 51:26
  British way, cutting their own deals, doing their own stuff,
• 51:30
  is he sent soldiers to live with the colonials under
• 51:34
  the premise of well, you know that are we're going
• 51:37
  to have to take a lot more in taxes to
• 51:39
  build barracks. So these left tenants would go and stay
• 51:43
  in a guest room and report back the next morning
• 51:47
  as to any conversations he heard, any people he saw
• 51:52
  coming and going. So the US framers, when they put
• 51:56
  together the Bill of Wright, said, we going to need
• 51:58
  to make sure that that doesn't happen. But in case
• 52:03
  it needs to happen, you have to give permission. And
• 52:07
  this is where the Denver Riggelmann story interacts in it
• 52:10
  is he's got thirty trillion lines of code, the thirty
• 52:14
  million lines of code that he's collected without your permission,
• 52:19
  from your phones, from your homes, surveilling you in your
• 52:26
  homes without your permission. Tacitly. Yes, by hitting I accept
• 52:31
  on any number of smartphone apps or computer programs, you're
• 52:35
  giving them technically permission. Saturday morning, we kick it off
• 52:41
  at six. I hope you join us wherever you are.
• 52:44
  If you don't get it, ask your station to carry
• 52:46
  us on Saturday. I'm Joe Song and thanks for all
• 52:49
  the fish.
