"Not Pointing Fingers" (Monday September 1, 2025, Hour 2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:02
Speaker 1: When it's really unfortunate that we have people you know,
0:06
like him speaking on this.
0:10
Speaker 2: You know, making mornings great again. First thing today talk
0:14
to Media Network by joke Joms.
0:18
Speaker 3: At least for work when the sun comes up, drops
0:21
acute to school.
0:23
Speaker 4: Think Joe has.
0:24
Speaker 5: Everything a dream do all the jos.
0:27
Speaker 3: Sudden needs.
0:29
Speaker 6: No one that Joe's smill he only as.
0:36
Speaker 7: Jack.
0:36
Speaker 8: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
0:38
this morning. I want to be and I mean labor
0:42
day morning as we are here. We do it live.
0:46
We do it live at four three four eight eight
0:49
two four two one seven, and you know, don't don't
0:52
give me more gravitytos than I deserve. It is actually
0:56
easier to do this live than to put together a
1:00
recording for you. So, I mean you can say it's
1:04
my sloth, that says Joseph finds it easier to get
1:08
up at two point thirty in the morning and do
1:10
a live radio show, then spend six hours doing a
1:13
four hour recording, which is what winds up happening. It's
1:17
a balancing act really there as we try to break
1:21
it all down for you, tell you the news, break
1:26
the news down into easily digestible gummies. And then see
1:31
how the news is impacting you where you are once
1:34
the gummies have thoroughly taken effect. There, you heard Ilhan
1:38
Omhar She puts the ill in il Han, doesn't she?
1:42
And she was on CNN State of the Union yesterday,
1:47
and this is the part that really kind of was
1:51
she said a lot of irksome things about the Bobby,
1:54
the Minneapolis murderer of it.
1:58
Speaker 1: There was someone who who came in to that school
2:03
through the window mental health support making sure communities have
2:08
threat assessment. You point out that DHS has taken away
2:14
those resources in our communities don't have that kind of support.
2:18
Speaker 8: Yeah. Great. You know, as you're talking about Seb Gorka
2:20
saying that you need mental health, Yes you do. How
2:23
far away do you want the mental health support? You see?
2:27
Her answer is it's got to come from the federal
2:29
government so that we can take Missourian's tax money or
2:33
Idahoan's tax money, tax money from San Francisco and spend
2:39
it on mental health in Minneapolis rather than just counting
2:43
on Minnesotan's This was the part that really kind of
2:48
torqued me because we know from Bobby the Minneapolis murderers manifesto.
2:55
That's getting alliterative, isn't it? That he hated everyone except Tomas.
3:03
He was very upset about the support for Israel, and
3:09
I think it was Kareem on Saturday morning during our
3:13
Saturday Morning program pointed out the irony that Tel Aviv
3:17
is the most LGBTQ friendly place in the entire region.
3:25
And I went back to the famous clip of Mahmudama
3:28
Dinijad who pointed out that they don't have so much
3:32
gay people in Iran who supports Amas. And one would
3:37
say that Bobby the Minneapolis murderer would have found an
3:42
interesting comeuppance if he had arrived in Gaza City and said,
3:48
my brother is from another mother, he said, they would
3:52
have said to him, Bobby, don't lose your head, but
3:55
come over here so you can lose your head. This
3:58
is ilhan Omar.
4:00
Speaker 1: The assistance they need, and that yes, we do alert
4:03
law enforcement, but this is not the moment to point
4:06
fingers at people. It is time for us to come together.
4:13
Speaker 8: And what has that earned us this idea that it's
4:17
not time to point fingers. Rumenate on that we're going
4:22
to do our first things here, but ruminate on that
4:25
concept that it's not time to point fingers. Brought to
4:34
you by jcsgold dot com. If you go there, you
4:38
get to see where gold and silver are. Will rattle
4:40
down some of that in a little while. But our
4:42
first things this morning begin with a blank page. Of
4:49
a sudden everything went federal judge ordered an emergency stop
4:54
to the administration's plan to send more than six hundred
4:57
unaccompanied guatemala and children back to their home country after
5:01
immigrant advocacy groups sued US District judge and I'm not
5:06
making this up. US District Judge Sparkle Sukannon, a Biden appointee,
5:11
issued the order shortly after four in the morning on Sunday.
5:16
Minnesota's laws should have prevented the man accused of fatally
5:21
shooting two children and injuring more than a dozen at
5:24
Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis from obtaining a firearm, according
5:28
to House Majority whibbed Tom Emmer on Sunday, who was
5:33
on ABC News this week. Clearly this young man was
5:37
crying out for help, pointing to Minnesota's red flag laws.
5:44
Why was no one hearing him? Emmer said, Rudolph Giuliani
5:48
is recovering from a fractured vertebra and other injuries following
5:52
a rear end car crash in New Hampshire. His vehicle
5:55
was rear ended while traveling on a highway Saturday evening,
5:59
according to his security chief, Michael Ragusa, an eleven year
6:05
old boy was fatally shot in Houston after playing Ding
6:09
Dong Ditch the wrong house. The boy had been ringing
6:13
doorbells through the neighborhood as a prank. Police spokesman shay
6:18
Awisian said that officers are still investigating and had not
6:23
arrested anyone in connection with the boy's death. Andrey Yurmak,
6:28
head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, celebrated
6:32
in New York over the weekend as the Ukrainian telecom
6:37
company Kiev Star made it to the Nasdak big board
6:42
and he rang the bell to start the session. It
6:45
demonstrates that Ukraine is living, Ukraine is fighting, and Ukraine
6:49
is looking to the future. And that's our first things
6:52
on this Labor Day morning here on the Talk media network.
7:01

Speaker 9: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
8:08
Speaker 1: Yes?
8:08
Speaker 9: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
8:13
oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
8:18
to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
8:23
By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
8:28
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
8:32
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
8:36
precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
8:39
energy can go down. And you can get tingling in
8:42
your hands and feet well. Our product Ultimate nitric Oxide
8:47
can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

Speaker 12: Every year more American adults die from vaccine preventable diseases
9:37
and from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or aids. Vaccines like
9:41
the one for new maccle disease can protect adults from
9:44
illnesses that can cause misdays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
9:49
New maccle 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.
10:08
When I speak with my patients, I urge them to
10:10
get all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to
10:13
speak with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.

10:20
adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough,

Speaker 7: If you came across someone struggling with hunger. How would
11:05

12:56
Speaker 8: It's on.
13:11
Speaker 2: From the home of the First Amen today.
13:15
Speaker 21: I can all write it and we'll do it.
13:17
Speaker 9: Low damn dog.
13:18
Speaker 8: We're all afraid to speak the truth, and the more
13:20
afraid we get, the more we hate the ones who do.
13:22
You're ashamed to be American? Okay, that's cool, It's honestly,
13:25
we are all ashamed of you two dollars. So the
13:29
question is what has this concept of Now is not
13:33
the time to point fingers. What has that earned us?
13:39
Where has that delivered us? We misunderstand the whole that
13:48
he is without sin cast the first stone as much
13:53
as anything, it's led us. I believe to this Soros
14:04
Arabella advisor's driven a progressive prosecutor movement of hug and release,
14:11
so Chicago can have more dead kids in a weekend
14:16
than Minneapolis did. Didn't get any news coverage, but President
14:21
Trump brought it up because JB. Pritzker keeps saying everything's
14:25
great here. The Pope himself says, we need God to
14:30
intervene on this epidemic of arms.
14:37
Speaker 22: Pardon me, sir, excuse me, mister pontiff, sir, pardon me.
14:43
But God says I can keep in bare arms. It says,
14:46
so right here, end up Bill of Rights?
14:50
Speaker 8: Unless you're telling me that that's wrong. What has this
14:54
fascination with the idea of not pointing the finger, not
14:58
saying hey, the said that he was mad because the
15:04
US supports Israel, and he supports a mass He hates
15:09
Jews and Christians, blacks, Latinos, whites, but supports a moss.
15:18
And if we don't point the finger, then, of course
15:21
then it just gets worse, doesn't it. If on the
15:27
beginnings of August twenty seventeen, I didn't say there were
15:31
people who were trying to start a dumpster fire in
15:34
my hometown, but Joe, they're white guys who are supporting Trump. No,
15:39
they're white guys who support David Duke. They're white guys
15:42
that think Jewish people and Black people are inferior to them.
15:46
I have no time for that, and I will point
15:49
my fingers at them. I have the fingers and I'm
15:51
not afraid to point them. And the Muslim community needs
15:56
to do the same thing in the United States and say,
15:59
get out of my nameighborhood. Get out of my neighborhood
16:04
people who want to kill people, because if you want
16:06
to live in the United States, you need to get
16:08
out of my neighborhood and go find someplace else, because
16:11
in my neighborhood, we don't murder people. Because the murderous
16:20
white supremacists who support David Duke have their own twisted
16:25
beliefs coming from Biblical text, just as much as they
16:32
twist the teachings of the Qoran to their own perversions
16:38
that allowed them to come to this country and say, oh,
16:42
if I have Sharia law and believe it or not,
16:45
Minneapolis has Sharia courts running parallel and subverting US justice.
16:55
No time to point fingers the hell you say, get
16:58
to the phones of four to three, four eight eight
17:00
two four, two, one seven, and I knew it. I
17:03
just knew somebody out there had heard the name Remo
17:07
Williams before.
17:11
Speaker 23: Now, based on the Destroyer novel series that sold over
17:15
thirty million copies, America's favorite tough guy comes to the screen.
17:23
Speaker 2: In a movie big enough to hold.
17:26
Speaker 23: Him, Remo Williams.
17:32
Speaker 8: The Adventure begins, and they actually turned it into a
17:35
TV series as well. Briefly there didn't get the run
17:40
it should have received. The you know, I guess books
17:44
don't translate as well. The books even took a shot
17:46
at the movie after a bit. If you've never read
17:50
the ultimate and pulp superhero stuff there, and would you
17:56
believe that doctor Clark has read as many of them
18:00
as I have, Doctor Clark. Now now I feel so
18:03
much more kindred that I wasn't the only one consuming
18:05
these things often in the in an evening's worth of reading.
18:10
Speaker 17: Joe, there ought to be a book just of chinisms.
18:14
Speaker 8: Chun is the best. So Chun is the master of Sinanju,
18:18
which is the sun source of all martial arts uh
18:22
and uh, and the ultimate assassin. He can kill you
18:26
without ever anyone knowing that you were killed. Just look
18:31
like an accident. And that's why Remo became this government
18:34
agent who worked under the eleventh commandment, thou shalt not
18:39
get away with it.
18:40
Speaker 24: Clark and my absolute, my absolute favorite tinism.
18:45
Speaker 8: They've gone to a pool.
18:46
Speaker 24: Hall, so remoking good information, he goes in the back,
18:50
leaves Chin out on the floor. Chu ends up taking
18:54
everything that the local pool hustler has, and after he's
18:59
completely fleet, seem the pool hustler says, who are you anyways,
19:04
seems like I should have heard.
19:05
Speaker 17: Of you, And Chun said, perhaps in your life you
19:09
have heard.
19:11
Speaker 24: But no matter how good you are, there will always
19:14
be someone better. The guys said, yeah, I've heard that.
19:18
Chun said, I am that person, the one that will
19:21
always be better.
19:24
Speaker 8: So Korean uh and and uh and so so beautifully
19:29
racist towards every other Asian race as well. It's maybe
19:34
that's half the trouble is I mean, they they bear
19:37
no holds barred on on playing to stereotype. But it
19:42
was good. Good to you. Now, I feel like I
19:45
understand why you grock what I get into every now
19:48
and then.
19:49
Speaker 15: Uh.
19:50
Speaker 8: But anyway, so if you have time and you can
19:53
find them, you might be able to enjoy some of
19:56
the it's the Destroyer series, what like one hundred and
20:01
change of them, Doctor Cark.
20:03
Speaker 17: At least one hundred and sixty eight or something. I
20:05
go up pretty high. I've got him. I've got them
20:09
all minus maybe two.
20:11
Speaker 8: And interesting sidebar, I didn't get to talk to one
20:15
of the authors, Warren Murphy, who took a turn writing
20:20
the Lethal Weapon movies and Wow and and I think
20:26
he wrote Lethal Weapon two, and he said he really
20:30
They brought him in. They wanted him to write on
20:32
the first one. Richard Donner wanted him to help on
20:35
the first Lethal Weapon because they felt like the relationship
20:40
between Riggs and Murtaw was going to be important to
20:43
you know, the movie, as much as the relationship between
20:47
Remo and Chun would be. And he wanted it to
20:49
work on that kind of you know, there you go,
20:52
I don't trust you, but I trust you sort of level.
20:56
So he I think he wrote two of the first
21:00
three Lethal Weapon movies. And so that was my chance
21:04
to get to meet him as he was doing previews
21:07
and interviews to promote the movie. And it's there, so
21:12
you know, any you're you're all staring at your radio saying,
21:15
who cares? Well, go go if you've read the and
21:19
there are so many millions of copies sold, they can't
21:22
have all been sold to me and doctor Clark. So
21:26
somebody else out there has read the Destroyer series and
21:29
probably wondered why you have all the things we keep
21:32
rehashing in Hollywood. We can't make this movie again. Really,
21:35
we can't reboot this a little bit, and maybe there's
21:38
a point to that. So I say this all with
21:41
the bottom of the hour news coming up? Can you
21:43
hang on with us, because I'm sure you had an
21:44
actual point to talk about.
21:46
Speaker 17: I do, and you can. Somebody got me the entire
21:50
series on a phone drive, Joe.
21:52
Speaker 8: Oh, there you go, so just plug and play. There
21:55
you go.
21:55
Speaker 21: I like that.
21:56
Speaker 8: Hang on one second four three four eight eight two
21:58
four two one seven. Hey, Brandt, And her name is
22:03
Shay I love.
22:04
Speaker 25: She's a friend of mine who we were just praying
22:06
for because of a surgery she just went through.
22:09
Speaker 26: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
22:12
talk about all the time, which is meta share. That
22:14
is right.
22:14
Speaker 25: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
22:17
and health care ability?
22:18
Speaker 26: 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, that is just refreshing. Yes,
22:34
that's what it is.
22:35
Speaker 8: I keep telling people.
22:36
Speaker 25: People love meda Share and they love saving money. Typical
22:40
family can save five hundred dollars a month.
22:42
Speaker 26: I am very thankful for Meta Share. It is so different,
22:46
and I mean different in a very very good way.
22:48
Speaker 25: It is good different call now. They're easy to talk
22:51
to and you can get a price within two minutes.
22:53
Call eight five five share forty. That's eight five five
22:56
s h a r E forty eight five five share.
23:01
Speaker 27: Hi.
23:02
Speaker 28: 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

Speaker 31: Today, we have some breaking news this morning. A massive
28:21
earthquake has rocked eastern Afghanistan. The death toll is climbing.
28:26
In fact, there's more than eight hundred people reported dead already.
28:30
Speaker 8: And that's right at the Afghanistan Pakistan border where the
28:35
six point zero magnitude earthquake has struck that area, and
28:42
cruis are out there frantically trying to rescue as many
28:47
people as they can. Wasn't it ilhan Omar who described
28:51
nine to eleven as merely some people did something? Charles asks, yes,
28:56
you recall correctly. It was just some time that some
29:00
people did something there and no angels died on September eleventh,
29:06
Like the angels who were killed by the Islamist murderer
29:11
Bobby the Minneapolis murderer, doctor Clark actually had some point
29:16
to make, and so he held on to him. I'm
29:18
sorry about going on about books there, doctor Clark, but
29:21
sometimes just fun overwhelms the moment. What did you come
29:25
to the phone to talk about?
29:28
Speaker 24: Well, some books ought to be going on about, so anyway,
29:32
hugging release m hm. Now you wrote you got to
29:36
give George Soorrows some credit. Joe, how could you possibly
29:41
do more damage to our country for less money than
29:44
what he did by buying prosecutors.
29:46
Speaker 8: I'm telling you it was the costco shop of terrorism.
29:53
Speaker 24: Well, my understanding is he's got at least five hundred
29:56
k invested in your gignatorial race.
29:59
Speaker 17: I'll let you guess which.
30:01
Speaker 24: CIA operative task of infiltrating Virginia politics that went too well.
30:06
Speaker 8: But that came. But that five hundred k came right
30:09
after Robert Johnson, not the blues singer, but the founder
30:14
of Black Entertainment Television, drops five hundred thousand dollars into
30:17
the Republican coffers after the racist photograph circulated after last
30:24
week's Arlington School Board meeting. Hey, Winsome, if trans can't
30:30
use my bathroom, you can't use my water fountain. And
30:35
the tepid response from the Democrats on that should be
30:39
telling as well. There is that picture worth a thousand
30:42
words or five hundred thousand dollars, doctor Clark, I don't.
30:47
Speaker 24: Know, depends on who publishes what about it? Hey talking
30:53
about the Democrats and they're talking points the mini Manglers manifesto.
31:00
Speaker 8: Right, Bobby, which which.
31:04
Speaker 24: Progressive or Democrat talking point was left out of their joke?
31:08
Speaker 17: Can you name it? They're all in there.
31:14
Speaker 8: It's true. I mean it could have been written by
31:16
the DNC if you think about it, except the part
31:19
about actually killing.
31:22
Speaker 2: Ah.
31:24
Speaker 8: Yes, they stopped short. They stop short of that. You know,
31:28
they say things like Trump has to be stopped at
31:31
all costs, and can I ask you a question? Because
31:34
you you you seem to be of a similar mind.
31:36
Here is this why we never learned more about the
31:40
Butler shooter? Probably m I mean it was just the
31:46
New York somebody. Somebody leaked the manifesto, Bobby's manifesto to
31:50
the New York Post. Uh. And then you know the
31:53
police chief who had to sit there, Chief O'Hara saying,
31:56
I don't have any idea what he was his motive was,
31:59
except for the manif Festo that went on at length
32:02
about what his motive was, you know, And and so
32:06
we just didn't have that leak out of Butler, Pennsylvania.
32:12
Speaker 17: So you got the doj U huh has what is it?
32:16
The Department of Public Affairs?
32:20
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's what they call it.
32:22
Speaker 24: And they have to show up and determine what the
32:24
narrative is before anybody says anything. And then we know
32:28
the media's position on narrative, Joe, if it does not fit,
32:34
they will omit.
32:38
Speaker 8: Thank you Johnny cochrane for that one. Yeah, but that
32:41
is that is the plan, generally speaking, is if it
32:46
don't fit, we must omit.
32:49
Speaker 17: Yeah.
32:49
Speaker 24: So I think that's why we don't know a lot
32:52
of stuff about a lot of things.
32:56
Speaker 17: Maybe you and I know it, but everybody else.
32:59
Speaker 8: And here's the point, you know, we will point these
33:01
things out. And you know how I loathe to say
33:04
we told you so, but six months a year from now,
33:08
when we finally find out, you know, maybe a Republican
33:11
gets elected governor of Pennsylvania in twenty twenty six. They're
33:14
listening to us this morning in Altoona and State College.
33:17
What he got, who you got? Who's coming? Because you know,
33:22
Shapiro and going to do it. Even even though these people,
33:25
these unhinged loans are showing up at the governor's mansion,
33:29
he's still, you know, he's still trying to ride that
33:32
train to the presidency or at very least vice presidency
33:36
in twenty twenty eight. But you know who's it. Maybe
33:39
a Republican gets elected governor of Pennsylvania and releases what
33:43
the state police have on the Butler shooter. But you know,
33:49
we can we can see the points of order. We
33:52
recall because we were live as it was happening that
33:56
you know, oh well, these are his parents and they're
33:58
both social works. Whatever happened to that whole, You know,
34:00
I would have been curious to see. You know what,
34:03
the social workers and the folks who we claim from
34:07
the American left are the folks who we want to
34:10
send in to these troubling situations. We don't want to
34:13
send armed police, military style clothing with military style weapons
34:20
into a sensitive situation. We need to send social workers. Okay,
34:24
so here are two social workers whose kid on the
34:27
hot tin roof took a pot shot at the president
34:30
and killed a firefighter. You know, can we know a
34:34
little bit about this? Is there something you're concerned with
34:38
us finding out?
34:40
Speaker 24: Well, it's going to be real interesting to find out
34:42
about Bobby's mommy and daddy if we ever get to.
34:46
Speaker 8: Well, she lawyered up pretty quickly and dad lives somewhere else,
34:50
which you know, again, stereotypes begins somewhere and for the CIA,
34:57
I understand, really I haven't seen that one word on
35:02
the internet. Well, I don't know. The internet can be
35:05
one of those. Remember, the internet was also saying that
35:08
Donald Trump was deceased for.
35:13
Speaker 17: Rooster heard from Huggy Bear that that was the deal.
35:18
Speaker 8: All right, Well, keep an eye on the sparrow and
35:21
we'll talk to you later, doctor Clark, all right for
35:25
three four eight A two four two one seven, it's
35:28
not conspiracy theory, it's conspiracy analysis there and and it's
35:34
just asking the questions. It's just asking the questions because
35:44
the more authority a government wants to try to take,
35:48
the more it's imperative that the citizens ask why. So
35:53
when ilhan Omar says now is not the time to
35:56
point fingers would be right in saying, gos g isn't
36:02
every time something like this happens not the time to
36:05
point fingers. And each time we fail to point fingers,
36:12
whether it be through an Arabella Advisor's sponsored prosecutor doing
36:18
a hug and release program saying what, we just don't
36:22
want more people in prison. So not convicting more people
36:25
will lead to a decline in crime, which they all
36:29
seem to be pointing to, as President Trump says, crimes
36:34
on the increase. Well, you know, we don't have any Look,
36:37
our convictions are down. All of our convictions have gone down. Yeah,
36:42
because that's you not working to convict the people that
36:49
have transgressed your all. Yeah, Matt is back on the
36:54
line with us this morning. What's going on, Matt, Oh,
36:59
I was.
37:01
Speaker 15: Jilhan Omart is becoming, in my mind, the new Chuck
37:05
Schumer as far as things triggering me.
37:08
Speaker 8: She's don't tell her that because she's got a long
37:11
life ahead of her. I mean, she's got at least
37:13
forty fifty years before she looks like Chuck Schumer. But
37:16
she could get there certainly the case. You know, I
37:20
apologies for triggering you, but.
37:23
Speaker 15: The question I have. The question I have is whose
37:28
finger are we not pointing on this?
37:31
Speaker 8: Well, we have a choice on more fingers, which one
37:34
of our four fingers should we be pointing.
37:40
Speaker 15: With something like this? The left says, oh, be real,
37:44
We've got to ban guns. And it's the sort of
37:48
thing where, in all deference to the Pope, not all
37:53
guns are offensive.
37:57
Speaker 8: No, without question, and that's one of the reasons we
37:59
God gave us the right to bear arms.
38:02
Speaker 20: Hi.
38:02
Speaker 11: It's Mark Falter, hosts the Financial Fitness Show. I strongly
38:05
believe that no one should ever pay one penny more
38:09
in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately, for most
38:14
hard working Americans, this just isn't the case. Why because
38:17
most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway than
38:21
trying to ensure they're going to pay less than taxes.
38:24
My Financial Fitness team has put together some materials that
38:27
I know are going to help you. It's the Tax
38:29
Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit includes three things, free tax analysis,

39:04
Speaker 9: 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
39:19
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: Hi, it's always a boy. Growing up on a farm
41:02
in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
41:05
in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
41:07
tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
41:10
supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who work hard
41:13
to provide for their young, or penguins who travel up
41:16
to five hundred miles to secure food for their families,
41:19
or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them to navigate
41:22
the trees and the wild in search of fruit. This
41:24
remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
41:28
We know dogs are wonderful pets at home, but because
41:31
of their acute senses. They also perform life saving work
41:34
every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
41:37
returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
41:39
with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
41:42
blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
41:45
roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
41:48

42:05
Speaker 14: And now a speech.
42:07
Speaker 16: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
42:11
art and brain.
42:12
Speaker 8: Who's with me?
42:13
Speaker 16: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my

brain is saying when it's time to go home.
42:18

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

42:53
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
42:56
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy is when
43:00
you shop for a new appliance. Look for the energy
43:03

44:42
Speaker 8: Just steer right into the red flags. Uh and Matt
44:47
great points on it. But yeah, so you had something else.
44:51
You were triggered by the Pontiff and his h what
44:55
did the Pope call it on Sunday? The epidemic of
44:59
the pandemic of arms.
45:02
Speaker 15: We needs to understand is that the inanimate object is
45:07
not the issue. Never is the evil intent with which
45:11
it is used by certain people.
45:14
Speaker 8: Yeah, but that's the thing we've lost in this society.
45:17
We blame the computer for the hateful things that know,
45:20
awful things that happen on the internet. We blame the
45:22
camera for the pornography. We blame the telephone for the whistleblower.
45:31
Speaker 15: You know, we.
45:33
Speaker 8: Cannot bring ourselves to blame each other for the things
45:37
that we do unless your name is Donald Trump, and
45:40
then you're the sun source of all things that have
45:43
gone blamed him for everything, exactly, the one human that
45:47
they'll blame for things.
45:50
Speaker 15: I mean, with all of this, and we talk about
45:54
these red flag laws. It's like, Okay, he shouldn't have
45:59
been able to get a go because he was mentally disturbed.
46:02
Well what's his mental disturbment? Well, no, we're not going
46:06
to talk about.
46:07
Speaker 8: That, right, but apparently there was there was some gender
46:12
well you know, but there was some interaction with mental
46:15
health care personnel who said that his body dysphoria was
46:22
was acute and problematic. And it was according to the
46:27
reports that I'm getting out of Minnesota is that it
46:29
was his mother who said, no, that's not true, and
46:33
she she interceded and said that those things were made up.
46:39
Speaker 15: Well, I mean, if if he has some mental illness,
46:47
treat the mental illness. What we do these days is, oh,
46:52
he's mentally ill, so make sure he doesn't get near
46:55
the guns. And that's it.
46:59
Speaker 8: But that's partially why, you know, and this is a
47:03
real Pandora's box, because when you talk about red flag laws,
47:09
there's an equal number of people who are concerned that
47:12
just somebody who doesn't like, oh I heard Matt on
47:15
the radio, let's call a red flag in on him.
47:18
The amount of swatting that goes on, you know, because
47:22
unfortunately another one of them damn commandments we're hell bent
47:27
to bear false witness against our neighbors plenty of times too.
47:31
Speaker 15: And let us and let us not forget that we
47:34
spent that the Soviet Union spent a lot of time
47:38
putting dissidents in mental institutions, because well, they're dissidents, right,
47:45
They have to be insane to be dissidents.
47:47
Speaker 8: Right, don't they understand how great things are? Good stuff, Matt,
47:50
good questions is always.
47:53
Speaker 15: Okay. One other point, if I may go ahead, the
47:58
I was reading on one of these articles about Ilhan
48:02
and Gorka, and their complaint was made that the federal
48:07
government had cut funds that were going to the Minneapolis
48:13
Department or the Minnesota Department of Mental Health, and so
48:19
they were blaming the federal government for this, and I
48:23
was thinking, it's the Minnesota Department of Mental Health. Why
48:30
should the government be paying money to Theoda Department of
48:36
Mental Health?
48:37
Speaker 8: And if it's so important to Minnesota's buck up. And
48:41
if it's not, you know, what's you know, where is
48:43
the governor and mayor with their priorities? Yeah, exactly. I
48:50
appreciate it, Matt. Thank you for checking in on it.
48:53
If you missed the story of the Pope in his
48:56
address on Sunday. This is what he said addressing the shooting,
49:03
you know, the murders of Bobby the murderer in Minneapolis.
49:07
Speaker 35: Our prayers for the victims of the tragic shooting during
49:11
a school mass in the American state of Minnesota. We
49:17
include in our prayers the countless children killed and injured
49:21
every day around the world. Let us plead God to
49:26
stop the pandemic of arms large and small, which infects our.
49:31
Speaker 8: World and anyone else. Okay, I get it, you know,
49:37
your left winger or whatever. But you know, I'm sorry.
49:40
There's there's these ten rules that insist that if you
49:46
break them, like thou shalt not murder? And is it
49:55
too much to ask the Leader of the Catholic Church
49:58
to remind us that thou shall not murder is one
50:01
of the ten commandments? Have we fallen so far off
50:07
of the beam that we can't even have the Leader
50:15
of the Catholic Church point out that murder was a
50:19
problem five thousand years ago, long before firearms wherever created.
50:27
If there's a pandemic, your holiness of arms, it's a
50:34
pandemic of people who have forgotten that God said you
50:41
have a right to keep in bare arms, and you
50:44
shall not commit murder or bellotpoor false witness against thy neighbor,
50:51
or steel you know, covet thy neighbor's wife. And I'm
50:59
not being too cute by half to point out that
51:02
so much of this has can track back to when
51:08
we stop displaying the Ten Commandments. I mean, gosh, when
51:11
we stopped displaying the Ten Commandments. II think it had
51:15
been ten years or more since the last time a
51:19
teacher had even referred to the Ten Commandments hanging on
51:22
the wall of the school. We're just there. You're going
51:27
to tell me your English teacher ever pointed to them?
51:32
Did your math teacher ever bring up the Ten Commandments
51:35
on the wall? Before Judge Moore lost his battle with
51:39
Margaret Downey in the Free Thought Society? And look at
51:44
what the free thought has wrought. Not that you don't
51:48
have individual rights, but we've grown so intolerant of anyone
51:55
else's And when somebody is found to have a mental illness,
52:05
we don't want to treat them. We feel like it's
52:09
victim shaming and things like that, and it's just going
52:14
to lead to more death and more death, and it
52:21
will give the authoritarians all of the ammunition pun intended
52:26
that they need when they come along and say, listen,
52:30
all this stuff got to go. Can't have this bill
52:33
of rights anymore. You obviously let's start. You know, you
52:38
can't have free speech, can't have privacy, can't have arms,
52:46
don't deserve a right to a speedy trial. None of
52:49
that got to go, all of it.
52:51
Speaker 3: 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 8: It was Medicie that came through for us.
