"Taboo You" (FTTxJT Wed 102826 hr2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:03
Speaker 1: I'm more mega now make America great again than I've
0:08
Speaker 1: ever been. Making mornings great again. First thing today on
0:12
Speaker 1: the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
0:35
Speaker 2: Oh, the blessings of a Ted's Day upon you and
0:38
Speaker 2: your kin. 434-882-4217. Appreciate all the folks who gather with
0:46
Speaker 2: us and reacting to our coverage of this controversy in Chicago.
0:51
Speaker 2: Our friends up at CGO and JOL out there covering
0:57
Speaker 2: the Chicagoland's on the issue of whether the Catholic diocese
1:03
Speaker 2: should honor a guy who has given bags of money
1:07
Speaker 2: to Planned Parenthood and the Democrats that write the laws
1:12
Speaker 2: that allow more and more permissive abortion behavior. And this one, particularly,
1:22
Speaker 2: we were talking in the last hour, if you're joining
1:24
Speaker 2: us in progress, Cliff Notes version, I said a lot
1:30
Speaker 2: of times the Catholic Church does this in order to
1:33
Speaker 2: fill more pews. And it's like the tail wags the
1:39
Speaker 2: dog rather than the church leading its followers to righteousness.
1:45
Speaker 2: They are letting democratic faith. Let's use that phrase. The
1:50
Speaker 2: progressives love to talk about democratic capitalism and democratic this
1:55
Speaker 2: and democratic that and democratic the other thing. What about
1:58
Speaker 2: democratic faith? I want lots of people in my church,
2:04
Speaker 2: so therefore I will tell them the gospel they want
2:08
Speaker 2: to hear. We'll take out the parts of the Bible
2:13
Speaker 2: they don't like. Leviticus, tear it out. Rather than leaning
2:22
Speaker 2: into it and saying, let's have an honest conversation about it,
2:26
Speaker 2: and Dean writes in, listening to us this morning on
2:30
Speaker 2: WJOL out of Joliet, says, Joe, are you going to
2:36
Speaker 2: tell me you've never chosen a topic or left a
2:40
Speaker 2: topic out of your show because it might have driven
2:43
Speaker 2: away listeners? I used to, especially when I was doing
2:49
Speaker 2: music radio, Dean, all the time. And then I was
2:53
Speaker 2: taught a premise by a famous morning show, And really
2:59
Speaker 2: just a program consultant who worked with me and this
3:06
Speaker 2: other guy you may have heard of, Jimmy, oh yeah, Kimmel,
3:10
Speaker 2: when he used to do radio out of Phoenix. And
3:14
Speaker 2: the premise is you develop a character and he takes
3:18
Speaker 2: like a sitcom view of it. You know, Kramer and
3:22
Speaker 2: George Costanza were different characters and you wouldn't write stories Where,
3:30
Speaker 2: you know, Costanza was a get rich quick scheme guy
3:33
Speaker 2: because that's Kramer's role. So everything had to run through
3:38
Speaker 2: your character filter. Explains a lot about the way the
3:43
Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel show is written, by the way. But I
3:47
Speaker 2: found that if and he said, I'm not asking you
3:50
Speaker 2: to create one. I'm asking you to figure out your
3:52
Speaker 2: authentic character. And Kimmel, I'm not sure I believe that
3:56
Speaker 2: it is his authentic character. But he said, I want
4:00
Speaker 2: you to figure out what your authentic character is, and
4:03
Speaker 2: then everything you do on your show should run through that.
4:08
Speaker 2: And it was liberating. I was working up in Buffalo
4:10
Speaker 2: at the time. Did we ever nail down that Buffalo affiliate?
4:13
Speaker 2: Somebody should. There was some folks that wanted to bring
4:17
Speaker 2: me back to Buffalo. We had a great time there.
4:21
Speaker 2: Cut way too short, September 11th, and that kind of thing.
4:25
Speaker 2: Corporations as well. but there's a chance we get back
4:29
Speaker 2: on and I love Buffalo so much that once I
4:36
Speaker 2: realized just filter out the stuff that isn't you, it
4:40
Speaker 2: becomes really easy to do a great radio show because it's,
4:45
Speaker 2: it's you, it's, it's me. And then you bring your
4:48
Speaker 2: character to a Dean, which is a good question because
4:52
Speaker 2: a lot of people in my industry, we do, we,
4:55
Speaker 2: We obfuscate. We change our narratives to get more people
5:01
Speaker 2: to tune in. And you know what I've learned, though, Dean?
5:04
Speaker 2: The more I changed what I said or left things
5:07
Speaker 2: out that I didn't believe, the fewer people listen. So
5:13
Speaker 2: there you go. That's your parable. And probably the same
5:16
Speaker 2: would go with any business endeavor there. Our first things
5:22
Speaker 2: this morning, Knesset Elections. Right now, exit polls have Prime
5:27
Speaker 2: Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's party bloc with the most seats, that
5:34
Speaker 2: with along with former military chief Gadi Eisenkot, who's got
5:39
Speaker 2: a party running against Netanyahu's bloc. But the two of
5:46
Speaker 2: them together, which has always been Netanyahu's strength in Israeli elections,
5:50
Speaker 2: is building a bloc. They also say he could partner
5:53
Speaker 2: with Arab-led parties, which people don't realize. More elected Arabs
5:59
Speaker 2: in representative offices inside Israel than outside of it. Federal
6:05
Speaker 2: Election Commission was hacked into yesterday, shut down their web-facing systems.
6:10
Speaker 2: The staff is tight-lipped about it, but are admitting that
6:15
Speaker 2: they are working diligently to get it up and running.
6:20
Speaker 2: First cargo ship of Venezuelan crude under the deal between
6:23
Speaker 2: the U.S. and NABAP unloaded in Texas yesterday. It's going
6:28
Speaker 2: to be sold by the U.S. government to refineries run
6:31
Speaker 2: by ExxonMobil and Venezuelan-owned Citgo Propolium. Preposterous. Petroleum. Did you
6:45
Speaker 2: brew me tea? Is this like herbal tea instead of
6:48
Speaker 2: coffee here? What are we doing here? And a State
6:52
Speaker 2: Department official says that they've offered visas to the family
6:55
Speaker 2: of Flavio Bolsonaro. Not that they say he needs to
6:59
Speaker 2: leave Brazil, but if he does.
7:01
Speaker 3: You know, it's true.
7:02
Speaker 4: Difficult times have a way.
7:03
Speaker 2: Of focusing us.
7:05
Speaker 4: We have to think about what matters most when it
7:07
Speaker 4: comes to our spending, our health care. This is why
7:10
Speaker 4: so many people are joining MediShare right now. MediShare is
7:14
Speaker 4: a trusted way to save up to 50% on your
7:17
Speaker 4: monthly health care costs. More than 400,000 people have already
7:20
Speaker 4: made the switch. It's pretty obvious why, especially now during
7:24
Speaker 4: this challenging season with healthcare costs and out-of-pocket expenses going up,
7:29
Speaker 4: MediShare can save you a lot of money. The typical
7:31
Speaker 4: family saves $ 500 a month.
7:34
Speaker 2: MediShare works, too.
7:35
Speaker 4: It's been around for 30 years. Members have shared more
7:38
Speaker 4: than $ 5 billion of each other's bills. There are different
7:41
Speaker 4: options to choose from to fit your budget. I'll give
7:44
Speaker 4: you the number here in a second. And if you call,
7:46
Speaker 4: you can get a price within two minutes. Maybe now
7:49
Speaker 4: is the perfect time to make the switch and start saving.
7:52
Speaker 2: Here you go. Call 855-SHARE-40.
7:55
Speaker 4: That's 855-S-H-A-R-E-40.
7:59
Speaker 2: 855-SHARE-40.
8:03
Speaker 5: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
8:07
Speaker 6: Yes.
8:08
Speaker 5: Actually, three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr.
8:12
Speaker 7: Mitch.
8:13
Speaker 5: And nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all
8:17
Speaker 5: day long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the
8:21
Speaker 5: blood vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased,
8:26
Speaker 5: bringing blood, oxygen, and nutrients to every part of your body.
8:31
Speaker 5: Both age and poor diet can lead to a loss
8:35
Speaker 5: of this precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can
8:39
Speaker 5: go up, energy can go down, and you can get
8:41
Speaker 5: tingling in your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate
8:46
Speaker 5: Nitric Oxide, can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide.

9:33
Speaker 9: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
9:37
Speaker 9: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
9:41
Speaker 9: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
9:44
Speaker 9: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
9:48
Speaker 9: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
9:53
Speaker 9: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
9:56
Speaker 9: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
10:00
Speaker 9: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
10:04
Speaker 6: I'm Dr.
10:05
Speaker 9: Susan Rehm of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. When
10:08
Speaker 9: I speak with my patients, I urge them to get
10:10
Speaker 9: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
10:14
Speaker 9: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
10:17
Speaker 9: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
10:20
Speaker 9: adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,
10:24
Speaker 9: and shingles, visit adultvaccination.org. That's www.adultvaccination.org.

Speaker 10: We depend on our drinking water supply daily, but where
10:37
Speaker 10: does that water come from? Your water provider encourages you
10:40
Speaker 10: to get to know your local water source so together
10:43
Speaker 10: we can protect and preserve it. The investments we make
10:46
Speaker 10: as a community to protect our water source now ensure
10:49
Speaker 10: we have a sustainable drinking water supply for the future.

Speaker 11: If you came across someone struggling with hunger, how would
11:05
Speaker 11: you recognize them?
11:07
Speaker 7: By their clothes?
11:08
Speaker 3: Their age?
11:09
Speaker 2: The way they speak?
11:11
Speaker 11: Would you notice a 16-year-old boy who got his first job?
11:14
Speaker 12: Not for extra spending money, but to help feed his
11:17
Speaker 12: little sisters.
11:19
Speaker 11: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes
11:22
Speaker 11: to bed hungry so her kids can have dinner. Or
11:25
Speaker 11: a 14-year-old girl who signs up to every after-school activity
11:29
Speaker 11: not to make friends, but just to get something to eat.
11:33
Speaker 12: Or a retiree who fell ill and had.
11:35
Speaker 1: To choose between getting medicine or groceries.
11:40
Speaker 13: I am the one in.
11:41
Speaker 11: Eight Americans who struggle with hunger. People you pass by
11:45
Speaker 11: every day but never knew were hungry.
11:48
Speaker 5: I am hunger in America.
11:51

12:05
Speaker 14: First Amendment. Freedom of religion. Freedom of speech. Freedom of
12:09
Speaker 14: the press. Freedom to peaceably assemble. Freedom to petition the government.
12:14
Speaker 14: Which freedom can you live without? Fortunately, the First Amendment
12:18

Speaker 12: When might you be buzzed when you suddenly love everything?
12:31
Speaker 12: You guys, I love this song.
12:34
Speaker 3: I love these nachos. I love our kickball league.
12:40
Speaker 15: I love this guy.
12:42
Speaker 1: What's your name?
12:43
Speaker 2: You know what I love?
12:44
Speaker 3: A ride when it's time to head out.
12:46
Speaker 12: If you see a buzzed warning sign, call for a
12:49
Speaker 12: ride when it's time to go home. Buzz driving is
12:51
Speaker 12: drunk driving. A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council.
12:55
Speaker 6: Radio. It's on.
13:16
Speaker 1: We could tell you what 6-7 means, but where's the
13:18
Speaker 1: fine line? First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the
13:22
Speaker 1: Talk Media Network.
13:23
Speaker 14: See him on the radio.
13:27
Speaker 10: See him on the news, see him on the TV,
13:30
Speaker 10: hands in the woods.
13:31
Speaker 15: Welcome to his nightmare, he's been through the mill.
13:39
Speaker 2: Thank you for letting me be of service to you. Oh,
13:42
Speaker 2: and now, you know, you see, you open yourself up
13:45
Speaker 2: to this kind of stuff and nobody believes you. And
13:49
Speaker 2: it's I think it's a testament to my industry. And
13:53
Speaker 2: I think the news industry in general, nobody believes you.
13:57
Speaker 2: This is why the numbers go down. Nobody believes you.
14:00
Speaker 2: You're selling something. You're always selling something. And at some point,
14:05
Speaker 2: you know, you say, well, do you believe in anything?
14:09
Speaker 2: And I can only do what I do. You live
14:12
Speaker 2: in this moment and you go from there and you
14:15
Speaker 2: hope that the aggregate starts to build up a body
14:17
Speaker 2: of work that proves it to you. I would never
14:21
Speaker 2: ask you to believe something just because. That's just not
14:26
Speaker 2: how I roll. But listen long enough. We'll make more.
14:32
Speaker 2: That's fine. We're not going anywhere. I'm my own boss.
14:37
Speaker 2: It's not like I'm going to call myself into my
14:39
Speaker 2: office and say, Joe, that segment you did on the
14:43
Speaker 2: Chicago Archdiocese just was too far in there. And on
14:48
Speaker 2: top of it, you compared the child molestation case to
14:52
Speaker 2: a diocese. The Catholics aren't going to be happy with you, Joe.
14:57
Speaker 2: I'm telling the truth, and I want the truth to
15:00
Speaker 2: set us all free. That's all it comes down to.
15:02
Speaker 2: It's the same thing. It's the same application I make
15:05
Speaker 2: to our advertisers. I mean, I haven't actually bought anything
15:09
Speaker 2: from Dr. Mitch, but he's an advertiser with my network,
15:12
Speaker 2: and I find my network people to be people of
15:15
Speaker 2: good character. So I have to at least presume, having
15:20
Speaker 2: never bought any blood gas-producing stuff from Dr. Mitch, he
15:26
Speaker 2: seems to be on board. I eat plenty of beets
15:29
Speaker 2: on my own. I don't need beet gummies anymore. And
15:33
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. I just eat piles of beets. Yes,
15:36
Speaker 2: I do. I actually do enjoy the flavor of earth there.
15:41
Speaker 2: So I use the stuff I sell. I go to see.
15:44
Speaker 2: I don't sit there and say, well, yeah, go see
15:47
Speaker 2: Trans-Siberian Orchestra because I hear they're really good. I'll hawk
15:52
Speaker 2: their concerts because I think they're life-changing experiences. And I
15:57
Speaker 2: know they have been for me. Your results can vary,
16:00
Speaker 2: but the letters I received after last year's promotion seemed
16:04
Speaker 2: to be indicative that people who had never seen them
16:06
Speaker 2: before felt that way. Jefferson Coin Shop, jcsgold.com. Same is true.
16:13
Speaker 2: I'll go in there and buy and sell gold as
16:15
Speaker 2: much as I can there. The more advertisers like Trans-Siberian Orchestra,
16:21
Speaker 2: the more gold I can buy from jcsgold.com there. James
16:25
Speaker 2: Luck is on the phone shaking his head. I can
16:28
Speaker 2: hear him right now saying, what have I gotten myself into?
16:31
Speaker 2: But James, of course, is the fourth generation of a
16:34
Speaker 2: family that isn't interested in upselling you. They're interested in
16:38
Speaker 2: making sure you have a great experience in the gold
16:41
Speaker 2: and silver investing world. Good morning, James. How are you, sir?
16:45
Speaker 6: I'm doing well, Joe.
16:46
Speaker 16: And, you know, when you were in the showroom the
16:48
Speaker 16: other day, I think people ended up being more excited
16:51
Speaker 16: to talk to you than to talk about gold and silver.
16:54
Speaker 2: It's weird because that happens to be a dear friend
16:58
Speaker 2: of ours. James knows him as well. A fellow named
17:00
Speaker 2: Toby runs a pawn shop, different kind of pawn shop.
17:05
Speaker 2: You're not not like you see on reality TV. And
17:10
Speaker 2: I've bought firearms there and I was there buying a
17:13
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day firearm for my wife. Yes, that's what I said.
17:17
Speaker 11: And.
17:19
Speaker 2: Six people wound up, hey, Joe, you're here. And then
17:22
Speaker 2: somebody called somebody and said, hey, Joe's over at Toby's.
17:26
Speaker 2: I'm like, come on, guys. It's fun. I don't blanch
17:30
Speaker 2: for them, but my wife rues any schedules we have
17:36
Speaker 2: to keep out and about. So we were at a
17:38
Speaker 2: Turning Point USA event, and we had to get somewhere
17:42
Speaker 2: later in the afternoon. And she kept trying to hut
17:45
Speaker 2: me out of the place, but I kept talking to
17:48
Speaker 2: other people. I'm horrible that way. I can't keep a schedule.
17:53
Speaker 2: I could never get elected to office because these people
17:56
Speaker 2: are on such a tight schedule. Their handlers would just
18:00
Speaker 2: knock me out with some chloroform and throw me into
18:04
Speaker 2: the car to get me to the next event. It
18:06
Speaker 2: would be so bad. But I appreciate that. That's very nice.
18:09
Speaker 2: I love you guys because you're always busy with folks
18:12
Speaker 2: saying– either with a bag of coins they're trying to
18:15
Speaker 2: find out, is this worth anything, or coming in to
18:19
Speaker 2: add to their stack of silver as well. How are
18:22
Speaker 2: gold and silver doing this morning, James?
18:25
Speaker 16: Yeah, gold and silver really rallied yesterday after we spoke,
18:29
Speaker 16: and it's pulling back a little bit today. Gold is
18:32
Speaker 16: back above $ 4, 000, currently down about a third of a percent,
18:35
Speaker 16: down $ 13, but it's holding tight at $ 4, 047 today. It
18:41
Speaker 16: had a really brief dip below $ 4, 000 yesterday and yesterday morning,
18:45
Speaker 16: like I said, rallied from there. Similar story for silver.
18:49
Speaker 16: Silver popped a little bit yesterday, giving back some of
18:52
Speaker 16: it so far down about 1.25% to $ 53.
18:54
Speaker 12: 66.
18:54
Speaker 16: And those ups and downs, they're not really big swings, though.
19:02
Speaker 2: Like you see some of these tech stocks that as
19:05
Speaker 2: soon as China says they're doing something with chips, you know,
19:10
Speaker 2: the tech stocks will drop 100%. It's crazy the rollercoaster
19:15
Speaker 2: they go on. Yeah, absolutely.
19:18
Speaker 16: Gold and silver really have calmed down. You know, the
19:21
Speaker 16: beginning of the year, we were seeing much larger swings
19:24
Speaker 16: in the price movement for gold and silver, which is not,
19:28
Speaker 16: you know, historically typical for gold and silver. They're usually
19:31
Speaker 16: very steady price movements, and that has started to calm
19:35
Speaker 16: down here. throughout the summer and now into the fall,
19:39
Speaker 16: the metals really have stabilized and really gotten back to
19:42
Speaker 16: their normal, you know, chopping to their channel, gradual moves, plateaus, breakouts,
19:47
Speaker 16: uh that sort of thing which really creates a perfect
19:50
Speaker 16: opportunity for people to stack gold and silver and to
19:53
Speaker 16: buy uh consistently on their budgeted amount and and.
19:58
Speaker 2: That's the key that's all i was saying about you
20:00
Speaker 2: guys is you're not trying to say hey don't you
20:03
Speaker 2: have five dollars more somewhere um because i know people
20:06
Speaker 2: who you know that's that's that uh mindset is, you know,
20:10
Speaker 2: if you have a dollar, I want that dollar. It's
20:13
Speaker 2: rather than, you know, you'd like somebody to say, hey,
20:16
Speaker 2: I've been doing great with this and let's keep it
20:19
Speaker 2: up because that lasts longer. You know, and I dragged
20:22
Speaker 2: you into this because there's an argument going on in
20:26
Speaker 2: our Chicagoland listeners. There's a pro-life group that's mad at
20:32
Speaker 2: the Catholic archdiocese because they're giving an award to somebody
20:36
Speaker 2: who has given a lot of money, not just to
20:39
Speaker 2: Democrats who support Planned Parenthood, but to Planned Parenthood itself.
20:42
Speaker 2: So there's this whole argument about it. You don't have
20:46
Speaker 2: to capitulate what you believe in in order to have
20:51
Speaker 2: an honest conversation with somebody or to have a conversation
20:55
Speaker 2: with somebody where they are. I mean, somebody could come
20:58
Speaker 2: into JCSgold.com, I presume, and say, I don't believe this
21:02
Speaker 2: gold and silver stuff is real. I don't know. I
21:04
Speaker 2: can't imagine how that purpose would grip somebody, but I'm
21:08
Speaker 2: sure they could. And you guys would take them through
21:10
Speaker 2: it step by step and close whatever conspiracy theories had
21:16
Speaker 2: gripped them. And that's of credit to you and your kin, James.
21:22
Speaker 2: So keep doing what you're doing at jcsgold.com, and we'll
21:25
Speaker 2: talk to you again tomorrow morning.
21:28
Speaker 16: That sounds great.
21:29
Speaker 6: I appreciate that, Joe. Thank you.

Speaker 11: 434-882-4217.
21:32
Speaker 2: In the moment here, it's something I tell my kids
21:37
Speaker 2: all the time. You want to associate with people who
21:40
Speaker 2: either force you to be the best version of yourself,
21:43
Speaker 2: help you be the best version of yourself, and in
21:45
Speaker 2: a small percentage of the people you associate with, you
21:49
Speaker 2: should be that person. And that's a holistic approach. crew
21:54
Speaker 2: of people if you can develop it. I'm not saying
21:57
Speaker 2: there's a plan or, you know, something you can put
22:00
Speaker 2: on indeed.
22:02
Speaker 5: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
22:07
Speaker 5: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
22:12
Speaker 5: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
22:17
Speaker 5: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
22:21
Speaker 5: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
22:27
Speaker 5: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
22:31
Speaker 5: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
22:35
Speaker 5: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
22:38
Speaker 5: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
22:41
Speaker 5: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
22:46

27:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
27:33
Speaker 20: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
27:37

28:14
Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
28:20
Speaker 9: There was trouble in the east, worry.
28:21
Speaker 14: In the west, and we're walking, tumbling down.
28:23
Speaker 3: Shifting the sand, walking to the madman, haven't.
28:28
Speaker 9: Heard a sound.
28:29
Speaker 14: You don't have to worry.
28:32
Speaker 2: Help is on the way.
28:35
Speaker 9: We don't need nothing.
28:48
Speaker 2: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
28:51
Speaker 2: this morning, 434-882-4217. That's the multitasker hotline, text messages, and
29:00
Speaker 2: or phone calls. I'll tell you what went on, and
29:04
Speaker 2: I'll give you my analysis of it, but you, you, you,
29:08
Speaker 2: I tell you, you, you have your own views on it, and.
29:15
Speaker 2: Like Andy writes in, connecting moral and competent people. And
29:21
Speaker 2: I think that even those who have fallen, see, I'm
29:25
Speaker 2: a big forgiveness guy. Maybe not so much forgetness, but
29:29
Speaker 2: too many lawyers sometimes to worry about forgetness, but definitely forgiveness.
29:36
Speaker 2: And to make... several emails have come in calling BS
29:42
Speaker 2: on my statements about righteousness and my analysis is my
29:47
Speaker 2: analysis right, wrong, or indifferent, but it's mine. It's not
29:53
Speaker 2: something that I've received from the Republican Party or, you know, hey,
29:58
Speaker 2: I need you to push this so that we can.
30:03
Speaker 2: I believe in the U.S. Constitution. I believe in the
30:07
Speaker 2: Bill of Rights. I believe that if Hakeem Jeffries and AOC,
30:12
Speaker 2: like Kareem suggests, he thinks the House is going to
30:16
Speaker 2: be 250 seats of Democrats. I believe wholeheartedly that they
30:23
Speaker 2: will make grievous mistakes that will render their party unelectable.
30:34
Speaker 2: Because I believe that the first attempt they make at
30:38
Speaker 2: trying to eliminate the U.S. Constitution, they will lose so badly.
30:44
Speaker 2: And don't think they haven't talked about it in rooms
30:49
Speaker 2: where they don't let people like you and me Well, you.
30:53
Speaker 2: I've been sometimes in those rooms, and you'd be stunned
30:56
Speaker 2: to hear what they talk about. You know, yak, claps
31:02
Speaker 2: on the ground. Oh, it knocked me out. Just the
31:08
Speaker 2: stench alone of the rotten, fetid ideas. But I believe
31:18
Speaker 2: that the Bill of Rights will win no matter who's
31:22
Speaker 2: trying and that maybe we have to battle it out
31:26
Speaker 2: for the Bill of Rights. Is there a more important
31:29
Speaker 2: thing to battle it out for? Because, you know, and
31:38
Speaker 2: I spend so much time putting out forest fires of
31:43
Speaker 2: misinterpretations often driven by people who are out there trying
31:49
Speaker 2: to sales pitch you something. I've got some infomercial, and
31:59
Speaker 2: I'm going to sell you this idea, whether it's about
32:02
Speaker 2: investments or liberty. One of the worst things we can
32:10
Speaker 2: do is expect the government to make us good. We
32:15
Speaker 2: have to be good so the government can be good.
32:18
Speaker 2: Expecting a government that we choose to then pass laws
32:23
Speaker 2: to make us behave better is a fool's errand. You
32:27
Speaker 2: don't have to be Socrates to figure that out. No,
32:36
Speaker 2: you don't. You don't have to be John Locke to
32:38
Speaker 2: figure it out. Man cannot be made good by law.
32:42
Speaker 2: Man has to be made good by himself. As I said,
32:48
Speaker 2: you know, if you say, well, how would you manage
32:51
Speaker 2: the abortion discussion, Joe, and not drive away half your audience?
32:55
Speaker 2: I'd say, listen, I get it. So where's the email?
33:00
Speaker 2: Came in during the news at the top of the hour. Oh,
33:06
Speaker 2: here it is. Here it is. Gene writes in. Spelled
33:11
Speaker 2: like a female gene, by the way. So I'm going
33:14
Speaker 2: to presume you're a distaff part of our audience. Gene
33:20
Speaker 2: writes in, Joe, you really shouldn't talk about abortion too
33:24
Speaker 2: much because as a male, you really don't have a
33:28
Speaker 2: say in what I should be able to do with
33:32
Speaker 2: my body. And that's a common, you tell me. 434-882-4217.
33:40
Speaker 2: Don't screen my calls. Go right on the air with
33:43
Speaker 2: me and you tell me if that's not a common...
33:46
Speaker 2: I mean, the words have changed a little bit, but
33:47
Speaker 2: that is the most common point of view. And Gene,
33:54
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you what I've told people, countless
33:57
Speaker 2: people over my career. In order to create the scenario
34:03
Speaker 2: in which a woman would need an abortion... there's going
34:09
Speaker 2: to be at least one guy involved. I mean, we
34:13
Speaker 2: haven't talked about Cornell for a while, but there's going
34:17
Speaker 2: to be at least one male involved in the creation
34:21
Speaker 2: of the thing that needs to be aborted, if you
34:24
Speaker 2: think it that way. Me, I call it a baby.
34:29
Speaker 2: And Gene, I'm not inferring, just I know what you're
34:32
Speaker 2: getting at is that men talking about abortion is hypocritical
34:35
Speaker 2: because we don't have to go through it. And I
34:41
Speaker 2: understand the mindset of that. But a man is involved
34:46
Speaker 2: and has been involved. And I would argue the beginning
34:51
Speaker 2: of our problem is we have too many men that
34:55
Speaker 2: believe that it's their right to have sex. And I'm
34:59
Speaker 2: not against sex either. But sex is a beautiful consecration
35:05
Speaker 2: designed to create an even greater beauty, a child. And
35:12
Speaker 2: it doesn't work. I mean, it's one of the most
35:14
Speaker 2: inefficient processes because the human body and its own ability
35:19
Speaker 2: to defend itself and survive on its own will do
35:26
Speaker 2: everything within its power to kill these invading cells. It's
35:36
Speaker 2: why the most miraculous thing, I think, in human history
35:41
Speaker 2: Biology is the placenta.
35:44
Speaker 6: Sorry.
35:45
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Were you having breakfast? I didn't mean to
35:49
Speaker 2: interrupt your breakfast there. But I mean, think about what
35:52
Speaker 2: the survival rate of babies would be impossible because the
35:59
Speaker 2: human body is designed to kill anything that is not
36:03
Speaker 2: genetically itself. And I've said this before, much to the
36:12
Speaker 2: chagrin of my pro-life supporters, and we're going to talk
36:16
Speaker 2: to the folks from the Family Foundation coming up, and
36:20
Speaker 2: they get me on this. Because I'm not, I don't
36:23
Speaker 2: say I'm pro-abortion, but I want to beat it the
36:26
Speaker 2: old-fashioned way. I want to eliminate the concept of unwanted pregnancies.
36:33
Speaker 3: What?
36:34
Speaker 2: How would you do that? by first off getting a
36:37
Speaker 2: better class of men who don't think, you know, just
36:40
Speaker 2: jumping in the sack is a good idea. It's what
36:43
Speaker 2: you do at the end of a date. It's a
36:47
Speaker 2: much more important process than that.
36:48
Speaker 6: Yeah.
36:49
Speaker 2: It's fun. It's incredibly fun, but it's, it's, it's designed
36:58
Speaker 2: to do something far more important than just entertain you
37:01
Speaker 2: for four or five minutes. six or seven if you
37:06
Speaker 2: think of some baseball stats. I'm sorry, that was for
37:11
Speaker 2: all you ladies who are smirking right now. That's why
37:14
Speaker 2: I threw that one in there for it. And as
37:16
Speaker 2: far as the abortion goes, a lot of it comes
37:19
Speaker 2: down to a woman feeling abandoned by the person she
37:24
Speaker 2: engaged in Congress with. So that's how I want to
37:29
Speaker 2: beat abortion. Do I want it just banned? How do
37:34
Speaker 2: you do that? How do you do that? Explain to
37:39
Speaker 2: me how you say that this is a ban. You
37:48
Speaker 2: want to see it done? Give each baby a proxy
37:52
Speaker 2: vote and you will have a land rush of politicians
37:57
Speaker 2: out there trying to protect those unborn babies because now
38:00
Speaker 2: they're attention.
38:02
Speaker 5: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44

Speaker 5: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
39:07
Speaker 5: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
39:13
Speaker 5: I'm Dr.
39:14
Speaker 22: Mitch.
39:15
Speaker 5: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
39:20
Speaker 5: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
39:24
Speaker 5: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
39:29
Speaker 5: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
39:33
Speaker 5: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
39:39
Speaker 5: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
39:44
Speaker 5: least slow the spread of cancer and in many instances
39:47
Speaker 5: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
39:52

Speaker 3: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hanna.
41:00
Speaker 23: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
41:02
Speaker 23: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
41:05
Speaker 23: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
41:07
Speaker 23: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
41:10
Speaker 23: supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who work hard
41:13
Speaker 23: to provide for their young, or penguins who travel up
41:16
Speaker 23: to 500 miles to secure food for their families, or
41:19
Speaker 23: bush babies whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
41:22
Speaker 23: trees and the wild in search of fruit. This remarkable
41:24
Speaker 23: work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
41:28
Speaker 23: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
41:30
Speaker 23: because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work
41:34
Speaker 23: every day Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
41:37
Speaker 23: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
41:39
Speaker 23: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
41:42
Speaker 23: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
41:45
Speaker 23: roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
41:48

Speaker 14: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
42:01
Speaker 24: Oh, yeah?
42:02
Speaker 12: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
42:04
Speaker 17: And now a speech.
42:07
Speaker 14: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
42:10
Speaker 6: Heart and brain.
42:12
Speaker 3: Who's with me?
42:13
Speaker 14: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
42:15
Speaker 14: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
42:18
Speaker 14: call me a ride.
42:20
Speaker 18: Love that guy.
42:21
Speaker 14: Me too.
42:21
Speaker 12: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
42:24
Speaker 12: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
42:29
Speaker 21: Did you know that more than half our household energy
42:31
Speaker 21: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
42:35
Speaker 21: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
42:40
Speaker 21: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
42:42
Speaker 21: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
42:46
Speaker 21: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.

Speaker 21: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
42:55
Speaker 21: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
42:59
Speaker 21: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
43:01
Speaker 21: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
43:04
Speaker 21: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
43:08
Speaker 21: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
43:11
Speaker 21: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
43:15
Speaker 21: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

Speaker 7: As a family member or friend, you may be the
43:33
Speaker 7: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
43:35
Speaker 7: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
43:41
Speaker 7: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
43:44
Speaker 7: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
44:46
Speaker 2: The Democrat caucus. Oh, especially if you go the way
44:56
Speaker 2: France has gone and understand France. And there's a lot
45:00
Speaker 2: of folks who are drawing the the comparisons, the parallels
45:04
Speaker 2: to the way a lot of places like theoretically speaking,
45:08
Speaker 2: let's pick some imaginary city like Dearborn, Michigan. Sorry. And
45:16
Speaker 2: look at how they behave. And you'll see a great
45:21
Speaker 2: example of what I'm saying about inability to have an
45:24
Speaker 2: honest conversation. So when the Islamists say freedom of religion,
45:30
Speaker 2: we go.
45:31
Speaker 6: Okay, do what you want.
45:33
Speaker 2: No, no, that's not right. That's not, and it's a perversion,
45:38
Speaker 2: but they use the bumper sticker slogan, freedom of religion
45:42
Speaker 2: to hide all the other stuff. And you need You
45:48
Speaker 2: need to clang when you walk down the hallways, women too.
45:52
Speaker 2: You got to have the brass set to honestly and
45:55
Speaker 2: with empathy, not just sit there and say, you're a terrorist,
45:58
Speaker 2: get out of here. But to say you want freedom
46:01
Speaker 2: of religion, this is what it means and this is
46:04
Speaker 2: how it works. That you don't have the right to
46:08
Speaker 2: infringe someone else's rights. Kareem is on the line. at
46:15
Speaker 2: 434-882-4217 with thought as well. And thank you for joining us, Kareem.
46:20
Speaker 2: What's on your mind?
46:23
Speaker 6: Joe, there's a lot there.
46:24
Speaker 24: Unfortunately, I'm keeping a hand to my ear so that
46:27
Speaker 24: all the thoughts don't fall out when I tilt sideways.
46:31
Speaker 6: Oh, thank you. Thank you. Tip your waitress while you're here.
46:34
Speaker 24: Joe, looking back at abortion and family, and I look
46:40
Speaker 24: to the Old Testament as far as history as far
46:44
Speaker 24: as social relationships and even social contracts. And when it
46:49
Speaker 24: comes to abortions being a result of promiscuity among people
46:55
Speaker 24: who don't want responsibility, I'm pro-life, 100% pro-life.
47:01
Speaker 6: But we can't eradicate that behavior from humans.
47:04
Speaker 24: And honestly, once that, so to speak, apple got bitten,
47:11
Speaker 24: It wasn't to be filtered out.
47:15
Speaker 6: It was just you have to be stronger and smarter.
47:20
Speaker 2: But this is what I mean about the church versus
47:24
Speaker 2: the faith. So the church you rely on to be
47:28
Speaker 2: a house of the faith and to expand and to
47:33
Speaker 2: testify for the faith. And we're talking about this Archdiocese
47:39
Speaker 2: of Chicago church. bestowing this Catholic Archdiocese Award on a
47:43
Speaker 2: guy who's given a lot of money to not just
47:45
Speaker 2: Democrat candidates who have promoted pro-abortion stands, but also Planned
47:54
Speaker 2: Parenthood itself. And I mentioned the populism of it. I mean,
48:00
Speaker 2: faster than you can say Pope Leo, you can draw
48:04
Speaker 2: a comparison to his favorite baseball team. So, you know,
48:07
Speaker 2: the Chicago White Sox are going to try to sign
48:10
Speaker 2: Tarek Skubal during the offseason. And I'm not comparing Tarek
48:15
Speaker 2: Skubal to abortion, but capitulating or backing off the Catholic
48:22
Speaker 2: stand on life is one of the ways they draw
48:26
Speaker 2: more fans into the arena. And I just don't know
48:30
Speaker 2: if you give up the things that make you that
48:35
Speaker 2: made the arena in the first place. I don't know
48:38
Speaker 2: how that actually works out. I understand the mindset and
48:41
Speaker 2: I understand how it corrupts people, but it doesn't work
48:46
Speaker 2: in the long run. You give up who you are
48:48
Speaker 2: in an effort to get to make more friends. Has
48:51
Speaker 2: that ever actually made you more friends, Kareem? And if
48:54
Speaker 2: it has, have they at the end of the day
48:56
Speaker 2: been real friends?
48:59
Speaker 6: Joe, I'm an introvert.
49:01
Speaker 24: And as far as friends, I know, yeah, you're the
49:06
Speaker 24: guy who lives in isolation on a truck. But I'm
49:10
Speaker 24: looking at Old Testament stories such as.
49:12
Speaker 6: Judah and Tamar.
49:14
Speaker 24: People can look it up in the Bible as far
49:15
Speaker 24: as what the details are.
49:17
Speaker 6: But essentially, Judah was a widower. who made a deal
49:20
Speaker 6: with Tamar, who was the widow of one of his sons.
49:24
Speaker 24: And looking at populism and religion in the state, we
49:28
Speaker 24: look at the age of consent. Mexico, our neighbor to
49:32
Speaker 24: the south, the age of consent varies from 12 to
49:36
Speaker 24: 15 in some states, but federally it's 18. We look
49:39
Speaker 24: at Israel, where I assume, now I don't know, you
49:42
Speaker 24: haven't said it, I didn't ask, but the guy receiving
49:45
Speaker 24: the reward is Jewish. That may or may not mean
49:47
Speaker 24: he gives support to Israel. Not all Jews live in Israel.
49:50
Speaker 24: Not all Jews support Israel.
49:53
Speaker 2: Especially the Democrat ones.
49:56
Speaker 24: Democrat, which is two out of three Jews in America
50:00
Speaker 24: vote Democrat. Two out of three. That's standard every year.
50:04
Speaker 24: So if you're looking at that, As you can see,
50:07
Speaker 24: Israel is 16. There's a huge push to make it
50:10
Speaker 24: 18 everywhere.
50:11
Speaker 6: That's not religion.
50:12
Speaker 24: That's not even populism.
50:15
Speaker 6: That's control. That's a culture of defining control. And, Joe,
50:19
Speaker 6: I look at.
50:20
Speaker 24: Limiting or legislating human behavior to be another form of control.
50:26
Speaker 24: And the church is being opened. Catholicism, this may be controversial.
50:31
Speaker 24: Catholicism is a universal religion for some. because it incorporates
50:36
Speaker 24: a lot of what was rejected by earlier, but in
50:40
Speaker 24: a mean of.
50:41
Speaker 6: Forging bonds and connecting with other people. So these awards
50:46
Speaker 6: to people who.
50:46
Speaker 24: Have some parts of their personality that are rejected completely
50:52
Speaker 24: by the masses of a certain religion is building a bridge.
50:56
Speaker 24: Just like when the Apostle Paul said, when you have
50:58
Speaker 24: to feast, it doesn't always have to.
51:00
Speaker 6: Be with Christians that you have a feast. You can
51:03
Speaker 6: actually celebrate good things with other people.
51:05
Speaker 2: Joe, thank you for taking my call.
51:08
Speaker 1: Not at all.
51:09
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that this goes to the more common
51:13
Speaker 2: trope I hear about compromise. And compromise is one of
51:17
Speaker 2: those words the salesman uses when he's selling you an
51:20
Speaker 2: Overton window. Can't we just discuss minor attracted persons? Can't
51:27
Speaker 2: we just, you know, in 1427, the age of consent
51:28
Speaker 2: was 12 and And you start to normalize these conversations
51:36
Speaker 2: and you look at what we want to defend and
51:40
Speaker 2: why should we want to defend it. That's the part where,
51:44
Speaker 2: you know, it's not dogma. It's actually peeling back the
51:48
Speaker 2: onion's skin and looking at what's going on underneath. Or
51:54
Speaker 2: maybe avocado is a better example since you brought up Mexico.
51:59
Speaker 2: But you peel the avocado skin off before you can
52:02
Speaker 2: really tell whether it's in good shape to eat. And
52:07
Speaker 2: that's where we are as a society. We're the tail
52:13
Speaker 2: that's wagging the dog. We want to vote on everything.
52:17
Speaker 2: And sometimes there are truisms like a human life needs
52:21
Speaker 2: to be protected and nurtured. And that includes educated and
52:25
Speaker 2: brought up into being a good adult. And all those
52:29
Speaker 2: things that happens to 99% of the kids in the world,
52:32
Speaker 2: it's the 1% that either get aborted or wind up
52:36
Speaker 2: in a bad situation that we need to do something about.
52:40
Speaker 2: And I think that the political world fails us in that.
52:44
Speaker 2: But anyway, drive safe, sir, and you have a good morning.
52:47
Speaker 6: Well, dude, thank you for taking my call. Have a
52:50
Speaker 6: great day.
52:51
Speaker 18: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
52:54
Speaker 18: feels like even a family road trip is taking a risk.
