- 0:06today on the Tunk median Age Thomas.
- 0:10Speaker 2: We'll do it long, Jewort said, steal me even Saturdays
- 0:16at least for work.
- 0:17Speaker 3: When the sun comes up drops a pet school has
- 0:22everything all the new one that Joe's as smith.
- 0:29Speaker 4: He only eggs.
- 0:34Speaker 5: Joe here, hold these truths. The one's march self evident,
- 0:41not not your truths. By the way, very funny video.
- 0:44It's too long and so it's new ones. It has
- 0:47to be watched. It's a vignette, very very funny video
- 0:52produced by the Babylon b Uh. You know the master
- 0:57class programs. Everyone's got one. It's like the next step
- 1:01off of Ted Talks. They do a video Satan presents Masterclass.
- 1:10It's it's very very good and no, I understand we
- 1:16have a whole hour here, but we've got a lot
- 1:18of things to hit on, including the assault and some
- 1:22reaction to stuff we said earlier at four three four
- 1:26eight eight two four two one seven. That's the phone number.
- 1:29Text messages as well. Much easier for folks who are
- 1:33struggling with the cacophony of last minute preparations for things
- 1:38like the northeaster.
- 1:39Speaker 2: That's going to mess with your weekend.
- 1:41Speaker 5: And you know, one of the reasons we do weekends
- 1:43is that you're working on the weekend just as much
- 1:46as everyone else. Most of us can't afford to take
- 1:50a you know, two day weekend, never mind a three
- 1:53day Columbus Day weekend.
- 1:54Speaker 6: Well is that that?
- 1:58Speaker 2: Yeah, happy Columbus Day weekend. It was always interesting.
- 2:01Speaker 5: See, when we lived on Long Island, the Columbus Day
- 2:06was not a big deal. But we we went south
- 2:09a little bit to Ocean City, Maryland, Columbus Day was
- 2:11a big deal. And all the restaurant owners hated Columbus
- 2:16Day because there were still folks coming to the beach
- 2:21Columbus Day weekend. It was like that last gasp before
- 2:25you know you shut your summer house down, or your
- 2:28your condo or whatever. We used to have big We
- 2:31had international championship boat racing on Columbus Day weekends. It
- 2:38was always a big deal. And I think Myrtle Beach
- 2:41the same thing. Hyennas the Hampton's. Other resort communities I've
- 2:47lived in not so much. Not so much for the
- 2:51Columbus Day weekend and nor'easters like Long Island's getting hit
- 2:55with our part and parcel of that. The weather comes
- 3:00a little bit more brutal on Long Island when all
- 3:04that comes about and these nor'easters start coming in and gosh,
- 3:10you know, I'm sure some meteorologist has named this one
- 3:13that's coming in thirty degrees rain sleet. And I used
- 3:19to think that there was nothing rougher than being out
- 3:22in the Hamptons in a nor'easter. And then I moved
- 3:25to Hyennas, and I think October's in Hyennas are just
- 3:29as bad as about.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Any northeaster you're going to face on Long Island. I
- 3:33don't know what it is.
- 3:34Speaker 5: And it's like somebody throws a light switch and Hyannis
- 3:39goes from being this vacation getaway to being just another
- 3:43coastal New England town right right after Labor Day, right
- 3:48after they have the big parties celebrating all the tourists
- 3:51leaving to another one. You know, I said, do you
- 3:53realize they pay like eighty percent of your bills? Yeah,
- 3:56but I'm glad they're gone.
- 3:58Speaker 2: It's a new one there for our folks listening up
- 4:02in Lowell.
- 4:03Speaker 5: They'll get that, but let me get our first things
- 4:06out here, as we delve further in and further up.
- 4:10Unions always a good thing to lead off the news.
- 4:13With unions representing federal workers even better, are now asking
- 4:17a judge to stop Russell Vote and the Department of
- 4:22Office of Management and Budget from laying off thousands of
- 4:26people vote posted on x the riffs have begun referring
- 4:33to reductions in force. Four thousand federal employees already getting
- 4:40pink slips. Israel declared cease fire at noon local nine
- 4:47Greenwich meantime, and the shooting ended and the troops started
- 4:52heading home, and Gaza residents started to return to what
- 4:58may remain of where they to live before they took
- 5:01up support of Hamas. So now the next steps will
- 5:05begin and the news coverage will certainly begin of people
- 5:09coming back to blown up homes. President Trump is expected
- 5:13to travel to Israel Monday morning to address the Kanesset
- 5:17and meet with freed hostages. While he's there, John Bolton
- 5:22may be facing criminal charges. Justice Department is mulling whither
- 5:26or not to go to a grand jury to have
- 5:29the charges elevated, or by just filing a court complaint.
- 5:36President Trump said he's going to place an additional one
- 5:39hundred percent tax on Chinese imports starting November first, if
- 5:44new deals regarding the export controls on rare earth minerals
- 5:49aren't renegotiated with the communist country. No, Donald Trump did
- 5:56not win the Nobel Peace Prize, but the person who did,
- 6:00Maria Korea. Corina Machado of Venezuelan's opposition party said the
- 6:10award is a tribute to Donald Trump and as a
- 6:15immense recognition of the struggle that all Venezuelan's face is
- 6:21an impetus to conclude our task to conquer the authoritarians
- 6:27of the Maduro regime. President Trump is in exceptional health,
- 6:32according to his doctors at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

- 8:04Speaker 11: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 10:01up on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:17for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:25best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 10:35at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 10:38from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 10:41a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 10:44variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
- 10:46help those in need. So please join me an American
- 10:49Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and all the
- 10:52amazing animals on this planet.
- 10:54Speaker 2: We inhabit together. Go to American Humane dot org to

- 11:05Speaker 15: And now a speech.
- 11:06Speaker 16: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 11:10heart and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 6: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
- 11:15brain is saying when it's time to go home.
- 11:18Speaker 2: Somebody call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 15: Love that guy, me too.
- 11:21Speaker 17: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
- 11:23it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

- 12:32first to notice when a veteran you love has been

- 13:13Speaker 1: Amaze your friends here in the First Thing Today by
- 13:16Joe Thomas.
- 13:38Speaker 5: So, there's only one way for a free society, and
- 13:43it's long before you and I ever walked the stage.
- 13:52The enemies of individual liberty the proponents, if you will,
- 13:58of authoritarian started stamping around and slamming their shoes on lecterns,
- 14:06insisting that this United States experiment of individual opportunity individual
- 14:15management must.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Be done in with.
- 14:17Speaker 5: And since then we've watched our industries become centralized, our
- 14:20governments become centralized, our education system becomes centralized and genericized
- 14:28and homogenized. And yet here we sit still trying desperately
- 14:37to spread the word, a word that resonates with seventy
- 14:40five percent of Americans. As the COVID lockdowns happened and
- 14:45the gleeful authoritarians giggled to themselves, Haha, we've finally done it.
- 14:51We've scared them into submission. People started seeing, hold it,
- 14:56you're teaching my kid what now? And it blew up
- 15:00in their face. And maybe that was always the message
- 15:05the Warner brothers who are trying to send us with
- 15:08the road Runner and the Wile e Coyote, was that
- 15:13all the machinations of all those who seek to do
- 15:17you in will blow up in their fates. If all
- 15:21you're trying to do is get on with your getting on,
- 15:29and if you're righteous, your liberties are not given to
- 15:33you by a Republican governor of your state.
- 15:38Speaker 2: But they're secured by them. And for everyone says they
- 15:41have to be political, it doesn't have to be political.
- 15:44You just need to elect people who swear to secure
- 15:47your god given rights. And that's the battle royale. That's
- 15:52the battle royale. When you.
- 15:56Speaker 5: Governor hokel wants to give you new rights, mom, Donnie
- 16:01wants to give you new rights. And all the media
- 16:06is so desperately trying to drag the half dead corpse
- 16:11of Andrew Cuomo across the mayoral finish line to win
- 16:16an office his dad could never win, even despite Andy's
- 16:22you know, offensive whisper campaigns, spray painted on the walls
- 16:28of subway cars in New York City, vote Cuomo not
- 16:34insert derogatory word about gay men that rhymes with Cuomo
- 16:41credited to Andrew. So when Andrew, when it came out
- 16:46that Andrew Cromo was getting a little grab astic in
- 16:48the governor's office, I'm.
- 16:49Speaker 2: Like, gee, couldn't we have known? And ignorance is bliss right.
- 16:59Speaker 5: The press, still trying to drag the half dead carcass
- 17:03of his campaign for mayor across the finish line, keeps saying,
- 17:06look at how much Andrew Cuomo has gained on Zohann
- 17:09mom Donnie, and he's still like twenty points behind him
- 17:14instead of thirty points behind him in polls. Because the
- 17:19people left in New York City can't afford stuff, so
- 17:24they fall prey to the siren song of a Marxist
- 17:27who comes in and says, you have the right to
- 17:29be free of rent concerns, you have a right to
- 17:33be free of grocery concerns.
- 17:36Speaker 2: What do I have to do to get into the
- 17:38government grocery store? Zohan? I mean Zohan.
- 17:42Speaker 5: Zohan was the Adam Sandler character. And can the government
- 17:52deny me access to the grocery store? And once you've
- 17:57established that as a civil right, if I'm hungry, can
- 18:00I sue? See this is what they're doing. So instead
- 18:05of swearing to secure your God given rights, they're trying
- 18:10to create fanciful new ones. Based on what I was
- 18:13pointing out earlier about the Great Society, Lyndon Johnson's masterpiece
- 18:24established that he was the hero of the black community
- 18:29because he was going to give you free stuff. He
- 18:32was going to free you from the plantation of having
- 18:35to go to work and maybe strike or lose your job.
- 18:39Because the company moved. He was going to free you
- 18:43from all these things with government programs. You weren't going
- 18:46to have to keep your deadbeat husband around. And the
- 18:53Republicans didn't mount a big enough challenge. And the argument
- 18:58in some cases is they didn't want to. I think
- 19:02it's simpler than that. I don't think they realized how
- 19:07prevalent it was going to be then, and it's even
- 19:10worse now. Remember we have four times as many people
- 19:14on Long Island and in Massachusetts and in Virginia living
- 19:18below the poverty level as we did when Lyndon Johnson
- 19:22gave his first Great Society Speech. Not a flaw but
- 19:26a feature. That population is now more and more likely
- 19:31going to vote for a Zorhan Mamdanni because they want
- 19:37to be freed from the responsibility of paying rent that
- 19:42they can't paign.
- 19:42Speaker 2: It was a News twelve story right here. News twelve.
- 19:46Long Island used to have no it was fifty five.
- 19:49We used to have.
- 19:50Speaker 5: My old GM used to run fifty five and the
- 19:52sales manager over there TV fifty five. I think they're
- 19:55still on the air. This story the price of housing
- 20:01rentals increasing on Long Island. Long Island housing Partnership another
- 20:05one of these organizations that makes their directorate lots of
- 20:08money and doesn't really do anything that you think they
- 20:11would say, but they're a partnership. Long Island Housing Partnership
- 20:15says rents are going up between five to seven percent
- 20:19annually on Long Island. Hey, good job, Long Island Housing Partnership.
- 20:23One can only wonder what they'd be going up if
- 20:25you didn't exist. I'm sorry, don't mean to be mean spirited,
- 20:28but I have groups like this, and I've dealt with
- 20:30groups like this.
- 20:31Speaker 2: All the time.
- 20:32Speaker 5: Because I will admit that housing costs or a problem.
- 20:36A lot of conservatives won't even get into the ring
- 20:38of this. And this was why I said I wish
- 20:41Reagan had run against Lyndon Johnson in sixty four, because
- 20:46he would have beaten him, and we would have had
- 20:49a world of an entirely different timber. We wouldn't have
- 20:53had to wait sixteen years for the Reagan presidency. We
- 21:00wouldn't have had to have developed the Great Society. We
- 21:03would have stopped the Great Society before it even began,
- 21:06because those increases and rents are fruit of the Great Society.
- 21:13Apartment buildings forty six units oh, forty six whole units.
- 21:17That's what fifty sixty people. But each building costs tens
- 21:26of thousands of dollars even before you put the first
- 21:29shovel in the ground. And why do those costs come
- 21:32in there? Because of the cost of compliance, everything that
- 21:37a builder has.
- 21:38Speaker 2: To do and pay and grease the skids.
- 21:41Speaker 5: Of before they even put a shovel into the ground
- 21:44to build housing units.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Not a flaw but a feature.
- 21:49Speaker 5: So when finally they ask you to vote for a
- 21:51zorhand mad money, you go, you know what, I can't
- 21:56pay my rent.
- 21:58Speaker 2: I'm going to go for the communist. Hey guys, I'm

- 28:21the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte Smith.
- 28:29Speaker 2: High wait what, oh yeah, So what do they do
- 28:48with Joe? Why do these people sign in?
- 28:50Speaker 5: Well, the very wealthy, the Gates is and that kind
- 28:53of thing, and the Pritzkers and all those folks sign
- 28:56into this because it's a protection racket. Protect the money,
- 29:00because in capitalism, all it takes is the next generation
- 29:05of Pritzkers to come along, and the family fortune is
- 29:08pift So you sign up with the Marxists, who promise
- 29:17that if you keep you know, the money flowing and
- 29:19make sure that they have what they need in the
- 29:22Marxist conference, that you keep the power, you keep the position,
- 29:30and that's the secret sauce to it is is. And
- 29:34then you convince those that four times as many poor
- 29:38people as we had in nineteen sixty four. You convince
- 29:44those people that the business owners, the middle class, the bourgeoisie,
- 29:50they're the rich that are keeping them enslaved. It's the
- 29:55same story. I'd love to tell you that Zohan mad
- 29:59Money and Bernie Sanders invented this. They're just derivatives. They're
- 30:07doing an act that was first written in the thirties.
- 30:17So don't fall for this idea that they're inventing something new.
- 30:21But the one thing that they're not telling you is
- 30:23the one thing that Maria Corina Machano knows is that
- 30:30communism comes with body bags. And who would support a political,
- 30:37a governmental function that includes killing your country men and women.
- 30:45Maria Corina Machano is the actual winner of the Nobel
- 30:50Peace Prize and despite what the press is saying. The
- 30:53President called and congratulated her, and she dedicated the award.
- 30:58Speaker 2: To the President.
- 31:04Speaker 5: And you get weary sometimes in the world of Donald
- 31:07Trump trying to correct people who are out selling the
- 31:11wrong story to this, to anything he does, because they
- 31:16want to sell their story. Vente Venezuela, the group she leads,
- 31:23appeals to the principles of Democrats and Republicans and breaks
- 31:27from the traditional argument between left and right. It describes
- 31:31itself as centrist liberal. However, analysts describe it as center
- 31:35right because they use the word liberal in its original form,
- 31:41meaning based in liberty. The party's ideologies consist of classical liberalism,
- 31:49especially economically the conservatism of Russell Kirk, where change only
- 31:57comes through thorough vetting through the community. Economic liberalism, meaning
- 32:04that you can keep what you earned.
- 32:09Speaker 2: And use it as you see fit.
- 32:12Speaker 5: It's amazing South America is becoming the bigger hotbed of
- 32:15this idea. This is why what's going on in Argentina
- 32:19is so big. We just sent twenty billion dollars to
- 32:24help prop up the Mili government because the Marxists want
- 32:32to get the country back. There was money that they
- 32:34had promised to earn. People don't cry for me Argentina.
- 32:40You're supposed to be immortal.
- 32:43Speaker 2: This is the last gasps of this.
- 32:47Speaker 5: They're desperately trying to win the mid term elections in
- 32:51Argentina to undo the power of a president Milli and
- 32:55his conservative parties were trying to bring free market capitalism
- 33:00back to it. We'd like some of this to come
- 33:02to the United States because I would like to see
- 33:04some free market capitalism here. Everyone said, yeah, I mean
- 33:08capitalism doesn't work well, crony capitalism, sure as hell doesn't work.
- 33:12And I would have told you that from the institution
- 33:15of it. And go back to what Horace Cooper told
- 33:20us about these these norm busting events. Right after Charlie
- 33:29Kirk was assassinated, Horace Cooper of Project twenty one was
- 33:32on with us and he told us about norm busting
- 33:37events like September eleventh, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the
- 33:42assassination of Jack Kennedy, the housing bubble bursts, the dot
- 33:54com bubble bursts. These are norm busting events that are
- 34:02used to convince you and me to vote in favor
- 34:06of people who say we will march on the Capitol
- 34:09and take the money that was taken from you, and
- 34:11a lot of people mischaracterizing what Robinhood did. Robinhood was
- 34:20taking from the government and giving back to the taxpayers.
- 34:32So when they talk about the price of housing like this,
- 34:35Long Island Housing Partnership increase in rents year over year
- 34:40between five to seven percent, more than one hundred dollars
- 34:45a month in rent going up, and a lot of
- 34:51it is neighborhoods. More and more neighborhoods start doing this,
- 34:55not in my backyard planning, where it becomes are conially
- 35:00impossible to even consider building something affordable.
- 35:06Speaker 2: You can't.
- 35:06Speaker 5: I mean, my wife and I when we were first married,
- 35:09rented a basement apartment in Port Jeff's Station.
- 35:14Speaker 2: I presume that such a domicile is illegal. Now, so
- 35:26what are you doing?
- 35:27Speaker 5: You're because people say, well, they have they have people
- 35:32living in their basement. Oh okay, And your problem with
- 35:39that is what, Well, they shouldn't be there? Why because
- 35:46it brings my property values down? Aha, And we strike gold.
- 35:51You finally push hard enough in the socoatic method and
- 35:55you finally strike gold. The gold that tells you what
- 36:02really is important to you is your property value as
- 36:05it should be but because the government has all of
- 36:08a sudden decided that in a passive aggressive way to
- 36:11get you to pay more school taxes than you think
- 36:14you should, and to hide how much your school taxes
- 36:19are impacting you, they do this horrific plan of taxing
- 36:25your property values.
- 36:27Speaker 2: To pay for the schools.
- 36:28Speaker 5: And every year the schools get worse and the property
- 36:31values go up, and you get less and less of
- 36:39it because your government takes more and more of it.
- 36:44Retirees being forced out of their homes simply because they
- 36:48can't afford it anymore because they're on a fixed income,
- 36:51and they keep increasing the taxes. This is why, of
- 36:57all places, I mean Prop thirteen in California was a
- 37:00great idea. How often do you hear a show like
- 37:03this say something was a great idea when it came
- 37:06from California. Don't base people's property taxes on some mysterious assessment,
- 37:13because that drives people to say, not in my backyard.
- 37:20Base your property taxes. If you must tax property, and
- 37:24rather than just send out a municipal bill saying, hey,
- 37:27here's what Bay Shore needs from you for our taxes,
- 37:31here's what the State of New York needs from you
- 37:34for taxes. Here's what Suffolk County needs for you from taxes,
- 37:39and here's what we need it for. Rather than doing that,
- 37:43I mean, who, what heresy is this?
- 37:45Speaker 2: You speak.
- 37:49Speaker 5: Bury it in this passive aggressive Oh, your property values
- 37:52they're up, but that means your property tax that they're
- 37:55growing up too, which means I don't want somebody that
- 37:57might drag down my property taxes, and neither does the government.

- 44:11Speaker 1: Question for you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today,
- 44:26so we'll finish up.
- 44:28Speaker 2: So this week we had in the press still, you know,
- 44:32circling around the two.
- 44:34Speaker 5: Big statewide races as little as they can because President
- 44:40Trump doesn't allow them to. Because peace in the Middle East,
- 44:44because Nobel Peace Prize, because all sorts of things that
- 44:49contribute to the fire hose that comes out of the
- 44:52White House press room. So a lot of people that
- 44:55would normally be ensconced in places like New Jersey and
- 44:58Virginia covering the gubernatorial races there ain't there. And so
- 45:06I have a master's class here in you know how
- 45:09the left and the right goes about dragging stories out
- 45:14into the public view that a lot of people hasn't
- 45:17seen or is my friend Nick freydis likes to say.
- 45:19Speaker 4: Well, Democrat AG candidate Jay Jones got caught with some
- 45:22text messages where he was apparently fantasizing about murdering the
- 45:25former Republican Speaker of the House, Todd Gilbert. But you
- 45:28know what, maybe it was all just a bad joke
- 45:30made over a private text. Oh no, no, it turns
- 45:33out it got worse. Turns out Jay was busy wishing
- 45:35death upon Todd's small children and the hopes that that
- 45:38would change Todd's mind with respective policy positions. But you
- 45:42know what, maybe maybe now Jay feels really really bad
- 45:45about all that and has delivered a heartfelt apology.
- 45:47Speaker 2: Nope, no, no, no heartfelt apology here.
- 45:50Speaker 4: He made some little rambling statement about being regretful about it,
- 45:53and then went into how the real victim is him
- 45:56because these text messages were released in the middle of
- 45:58his campaign and it's harmful to his campaign. Well, I
- 46:02guess we know what we can expect next, Democrats lining
- 46:06up to tell us all how Republicans need to tone
- 46:08down our rhetoric so they'll stop wishing death upon our children.
- 46:13Speaker 2: And that's really happening.
- 46:14Speaker 5: But so that subject wasn't coming up in the Virginia
- 46:19gubernatorial debate, and win some earl sears the great Lieutenant
- 46:23governor here in Virginia, as a Marine is wont to do,
- 46:27kept bringing it up until finally the moderators asked the
- 46:31Democrat Abigail Spanberger to speak about it.
- 46:35Speaker 15: Comments that J.
- 46:36Speaker 26: Jones made are absolutely abhorrent. I denounced them when I
- 46:41learned of them, and I will denounce them every opportunity
- 46:45I get.
- 46:46Speaker 5: I denounced them when I heard about them, plus twenty
- 46:49four hours more.
- 46:50Speaker 26: We're all running our individual races. I believe my opponent
- 46:52has said that about I'm lieutenant governor.
- 46:55Speaker 9: I'm wondering why my opponent won't say beyond it abhorrent and.
- 47:01Speaker 2: Disgusting CBS sex political acc So.
- 47:06Speaker 5: Because the moderators were not bringing up the subject, she
- 47:12did and people are saying, oh, but she was mean
- 47:14about it. She kept interrupting because they weren't asking and
- 47:17they were letting her Spanburger just sort of filibuster. Now
- 47:23you take that and compare it to the New Jersey
- 47:28gubernatorial debate, is this is how a Democrat does something
- 47:37that they think will tag their opponent.
- 47:40Speaker 24: The national unemployment rate is a little bit over four percents.
- 47:42Speaker 2: You got the whole clibb. Do we have time for
- 47:45the whole club.
- 47:45Speaker 7: Certainty around hiring or concerns about tariffs, inflation and AI So.
- 47:50Speaker 2: You hear the question is about business and business community, and.
- 47:59Speaker 21: I work because I think our kids deserve better. I
- 48:02think bioids were safe, and we're.
- 48:06Speaker 2: Going to switch it pretty drastically here.
- 48:09Speaker 13: Both of you have been critical about the high cost
- 48:11of electricity in New Jersey.
- 48:13Speaker 2: I would like you to tell us specifically, and all.
- 48:15Speaker 5: Of you you don't have the clip is the clip
- 48:18where she accuses him of killing all kinds of kids is.
- 48:21Speaker 11: One example of blue collar, middle class jobs.
- 48:24Speaker 23: They're not coming to New Jersey as long as we
- 48:26have the highest property taxes in the nation, high s
- 48:27electricity rates.
- 48:28Speaker 1: I'll make New.
- 48:29Speaker 23: Jersey a better place to business, grow the economy, create jobs,
- 48:32and get that unemployment number down.
- 48:33Speaker 21: Congresswoman, you know, my opponent likes to talk a lot
- 48:36about being a businessman, But I think what New Jersey
- 48:39doesn't know is much about his business. How he made
- 48:41his millions by working with some of the worst offenders
- 48:45and saying that opioids were safe, putting out propaganda, publishing
- 48:49their propaganda. Well tens of thousands of New Jersey insted.
- 48:53And as if that wasn't enough, then he was paid
- 48:56to develop an app so that people who are addicted
- 48:59could more easily get access to opioids.
- 49:02Speaker 5: So, and what that's called is telling a story. And
- 49:07Chattarelli's response, I think is interesting.
- 49:10Speaker 21: And so as he made millions, as these opioid companies
- 49:14made billions, do you hear the class tens of thousands
- 49:17of New Jersey and died.
- 49:19Speaker 18: Mister.
- 49:20Speaker 2: First of all, shame on you. Second of all, shame
- 49:25on you, sir, Shame on you.
- 49:29Speaker 5: So the question is and and here a lot of
- 49:33people heard the thing and said, well, what the hell
- 49:36is this all about. He ran a publishing company, Galen Publishing,
- 49:40did a lot of medical journals, and a lot of
- 49:42those medical journals talk about the application of opioids and
- 49:47physical therapy to treat that which used to be orthopedic surgeries.
- 49:54This is all part of Obamacare, which by the way,
- 49:57Mikey Cheryl's campaign.
- 50:00Speaker 2: Was part of.
- 50:00Speaker 5: But aside from the Obamacare side of it, this all
- 50:05began in twenty twenty one when the Biden administration said,
- 50:09we need a way to get people to their doctors
- 50:16without them going to their doctors because COVID. So the
- 50:21app that she talks about being created was created at
- 50:24the request of the government to try to come up
- 50:27with a way that people could talk to their doctors
- 50:32without having to go into their offices. And it was
- 50:36her political party that went out looking for this app.
- 50:39I mean, if you really want to tag him for something,
- 50:41tag him for making a smartphone app. At the behest
- 50:45of the Biden administration. Now he is suing her for
- 50:52those misleading statements. But that's how a Democrat comes in
- 51:00with the stories that nobody was bringing up because they
- 51:03were making them up. Instead of insisting that the moderators
- 51:07pay attention to a story that everyone knew about but
- 51:10nobody was asking about, they come up with.
- 51:14Speaker 2: A partial truth.
- 51:16Speaker 5: And I guess at some point, you and me, we
- 51:19become used to the partial truths, the half truths, the innuendos.
- 51:27Are opioids dangerous when they're abused, yes, when they're over prescribed, yes,
- 51:38But when you have health insurance providers dodging the necessity
- 51:42for a surgery because the Obamacare's advisability of care panels
- 51:47have determined that people of a certain age don't qualify
- 51:51for those kind of coverages, and insurance companies can deny
- 51:54those claims, you've got to come up with something to
- 51:56do for them. So you come up with pain management
- 51:59technics involving pain medication and physical therapy. And then we
- 52:07pat ourselves on the back and say, look, a non
- 52:09surgical solution. And then people start getting addicted to opioids
- 52:19because they are very addictive. I remember the first time
- 52:21this is long before the opioid crisis. First time I
- 52:24ever took codeine tylanol, I'd thrown out a disc in
- 52:29my back. And then I took the muscle relaxer that
- 52:32the doctor prescribement. I went, whoa, Nelly, I said, Doc,
- 52:37I'm fixed. He goes, no, you're not. You just think
- 52:39you're fixed because you've forgotten the pain. Anyway, it's time
- 52:43for us to go Monday morning. We're here for Columbus Day.
- 52:46Oopsie said it so long and thanks for all the fish.
- 52:51Speaker 14: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the

- 53:01this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
- 53:05or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
- 53:09and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
- 53:12the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions, the

- 53:33with the use of a release strap. The devices are
- 53:36convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your
- 53:38home and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful
