"Did Someone Say Green Energy is a Con?" (Friday September 26, 2025, Hour 1) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:02
Speaker 1: This is at the beginning of a large accountability round up.
0:06
Speaker 2: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
0:11
the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte's.
0:14
Speaker 3: Moon Jewort said, steal mem you have a day at
0:19
least for work, when the sun comes up, drops a
0:22
kid to school.
0:25
Speaker 4: Joey has everything a jan.
0:26
Speaker 5: Do all the choses needs.
0:30
Speaker 3: No one that Joe sais smiled. He only is.
0:37
Speaker 6: Joe.
0:38
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, we're here this time.
0:43
Speaker 8: You know you have one glitch one time and everyone's like,
0:48
are they are best of this morning? There's Joe doing recordings,
0:51
mailing it in. Are you Thomas?
0:53
Speaker 7: What is going on here? Well? Uh, thank you for
0:56
indulging in for all those who hung around yesterday, uh
1:00
through the massive outage here keeping us from connecting to
1:04
a month forty five flies. Look it from the sky
1:07
down Lincolntenna. I'm looking at j boy so four three
1:12
four eight eight two four two one seven if there
1:15
were things you wanted to discuss yesterday morning while we
1:19
were dealing with that, and we did get back on
1:21
the air in a little while. But like our friends
1:23
up in Lowell and such like that, they they were
1:26
sitting there thinking, well, you know this was fun when
1:28
we heard it on Tedsday. We can get with you
1:31
and share your thoughts on stuff. We won't have any
1:35
sort of germineus surcharge for you this morning. We will,
1:40
you know, indulge any conversation and really, honestly we do
1:44
that anyway. On the news of the day, obviously the
1:48
indictment of James Comey, former FBI director, leads. But there's
1:55
so much going on here, whistleblowers releasing images of hate
2:00
speech and targeting of students on college campuses. And by
2:05
the way, remember all the folks who lost their bowel
2:08
control over Donald Trump calling the green energy movement a
2:13
con It was only a couple of days ago United Nations,
2:18
after he survived the elevator gate and the traffic gate.
2:25
And I have a friend of mine, having grown up
2:28
in New York City, I have lots of friends there,
2:31
and several folks always qualified these emails when they send
2:35
them to me. Joe, I love Donald Trump, but has
2:39
he never driven around New York City when the President
2:41
comes to visit. Un Damn, I hate it when these
2:45
presidents come to the United Nations. To be fair, most
2:49
of my friends in New York, you hate the United
2:52
Nations being in New York anyway, but especially when the
2:58
US president comes, because it just makes anyone who has
3:01
to drive around New York City, which by the way
3:04
is from somebody who grew up there, dumber than a
3:07
bag of hair. Yeah, I don't understand why anyone ever
3:12
drives around the city of New York. But for those
3:16
if you remember having survived teleprompter Gate and elevator gate
3:20
and traffic gate, when the President got to the UN
3:23
and called climate change a con no, what will we do?
3:31
We have a fun story that puts the highlighter pen
3:37
on all of that going on. Raja Erdigan, who's still
3:42
you know? I understand NATO ally important to the region.
3:46
Everything else. Not a good guy, not a good and
3:50
funny moment when the President said, you want to talk
3:52
about elections, thought to this guy, kind of love ella.
3:58
When the President Trumpta says, you know what, go ahead,
4:00
What else are you going to add to me?
4:01
Speaker 9: Here?
4:03
Speaker 7: So we begin as we have to with the first things.
4:07
Can't discuss the news until I tell you what the
4:10
news is. FBI director former James Comey indicted criminal charges
4:15
of false statements and obstruction Thursday. The President's pursuit of
4:22
justice within the government is only just ramping up. Officials
4:26
say school districts in New York City, Chicago, and Fairfax County,
4:31
Virginia could lose more than twenty four million dollars in
4:34
federal funds in the next fiscal year. After missing the
4:38
administration's deadline to address civil rights violations, the President signed
4:44
an executive order Thursday declaring that his plan to sell
4:48
TikTok's US operations to US and global investors will meet
4:53
the requirements of the twenty twenty four law that says
4:56
the video app will be banned unless the Chinese owners
5:00
Byte Dance sell it. Leaks earlier this week said Oracle
5:06
is the one that's leading the charge to operate the
5:10
app in the United States. The President, as I said,
5:15
met with rajab Ertigan at the White House, signaling that
5:19
the United States might lift the ban on sales of
5:22
F thirty five fighter jets to Turkey after they had
5:26
purchased other jets from Russia. President Trump was asked during
5:31
the signing of several executive orders about Israeli officials suggesting
5:37
that their government could seize control of at least some
5:40
part of the West Bank. He said, quote, I will
5:43
not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. I will
5:45
not allow it. It's not going to happen. Alan Greenspan,
5:50
Ben Bernanke, and Janet Yellen were among top economic officials
5:55
in front of the Supreme Court Thursday, petitioning to allow
5:59
Lisa Cook to remain as Central Bank Governor for now.
6:04
The Ivanpa solar facility in California's Mohave Desert, once hailed
6:09
as a renewable energy breakthrough, is shutting down twenty years
6:14
ahead of schedule and after killing tens of thousands of
6:18
birds and failing to meet electricity output goals. It was
6:22
once the largest solar plant in the world, built on
6:25
three thousand, four hundred and seventy one acres of public land,
6:29
including three four hundred and fifty nine foot power towers
6:33
and more than one hundred and seventy three heliostat mirrors.
6:37
I have seen it in our broadcast from Palm Springs.
6:40
It is impressive and the blades weren't turning one inch.
6:45
US credit card dat has reached a record high more
6:48
than one point two trillion dollars during the second quarter
6:52
of the year, and those for this Friday morning. Are
6:55
some of our first things now we can discuss.
7:01
Speaker 10: You know, It's true, difficult times have a way of
7:04
focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
7:07
when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is
7:09
why so many people are joining meta share right now.
7:13
Metashare is a trusted way to save up to fifty
7:16
percent on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred
7:19
thousand people have already made the switch. It's pretty obvious why,
7:23
especially now during this challenging season with health care costs
7:27
and out of pocket expenses going up. Metas share can save.
7:30
Speaker 11: You a lot of money.
7:31
Speaker 10: The typical family saves five hundred dollars a month. Medashare
7:35
works too. It's been around for thirty years. Members have
7:38
shared more than five billion dollars of each other's bills.
7:41
There are different options to choose from to fit your budget.
7:44
I'll give you the number here in a second, and
7:45
if you call, you can get a price within two minutes.
7:48
Maybe now it is the perfect time to make the
7:50
switch and start saving. Here you go call eight five
7:54
five share forty. That's eight five five share forty eight
7:59
five five share forty.
8:04
Speaker 12: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
8:07
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
8:13
am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:18
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:22
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:26
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:32
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:37
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

Speaker 13: I'm Andrews Saul, Commission of Self Security. I'm here to
9:05

9:17
personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
9:21
are not from US. Real solid security employees will never

threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
9:29
call like this, hang up. Never give the call of

9:38
or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers,

9:58
Speaker 9: Hiverybody, I'm Jack and it's always a boy. Growing up
10:01
on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
10:04
I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
10:06
but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
10:09
birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
10:12
who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
10:15
who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
10:18
for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
10:21
them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
10:23
of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
10:26
best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
10:29
at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
10:32
perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
10:35
at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
10:38
from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
10:41
a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
10:44
variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
10:46
help those in need. So please join me an American
10:49
Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and all the
10:52
amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together.

11:00
Speaker 6: Oh, Braha's buzzed.
11:01
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 14: And now a speech.
11:07
Speaker 12: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
art and brain.
11:12
Speaker 11: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 6: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
11:15
brain is saying when it's time to go home. Somebody
11:18
call me a ride.
11:19
Speaker 15: Love that guy, me too.
11:21
Speaker 3: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
11:24
it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:29
Speaker 16: Did you know that more than half our household energy
11:31
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
11:35
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
11:39
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
11:42
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
11:46
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
11:49
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
11:53
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
11:56
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs, say,
12:00
is when you shop for a new appliance. Look for
12:02
the energy Star logo and read the energy guide label.
12:06
And there are day to day things you can do.
12:09
Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
12:12
close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
12:15
air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by

Speaker 17: As a family member or friend, you may be the
12:32
first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35
going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
12:40
anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
12:44
but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

13:12
Speaker 2: Hundred to do list putting the radio on? Is the
13:15
first thing today?
13:18
Speaker 7: Is this a sovereignation or just a polling state? You men,
13:27
look out people or against jule No more cows. We
13:33
don't want cows anymore.
13:34
Speaker 2: I guess they want to kill all the cows.
13:35
Speaker 9: It's the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.
13:40
Speaker 13: Oh.
13:41
Speaker 7: I love this story because I've seen this Mohave Desert
13:44
monstrosity driving back to Ontario Airport when we were broadcasting
13:51
from Freedom Fast out Palm Spring. So you go, if
13:54
you're going out to is it Joshua Tree? And I'm
13:59
not even a big U two fan, but yeah, you're
14:02
out there and it's Joshua Tree, and you say, all right,
14:04
we have to see it. So on our way to
14:06
way out of Palm Springs we went to Joshua Tree
14:08
to see well, Joshua Trees, and it's pretty much it's
14:13
not quite at the level of Plymouth Rock and our
14:17
friends in Lowell. You know what I'm talking about. When
14:19
you when you get to Plymouth Rock, you're expecting something
14:22
a little bit more impressive. But on our way back,
14:26
I'm like, look at this monstrosity of wind turbines and
14:30
solar panels, and my wife was the one who pointed
14:35
out not a single one of the wind turbines was turning.
14:39
A couple of them were pretty badly damaged from the
14:43
colossal oil where the bearings when the bearings go on
14:46
those wind turbines. It's dramatic closing twenty years ahead of
14:53
schedule having failed to meet anything. But you all vacate
15:00
your lower intestines when the President dared to say that
15:03
in front of the United Nations. Really favorite story of
15:07
the day this morning, Bob in Moscow is on the
15:11
line with us at four three four eight eight two
15:13
four to two one seven. Good morning, Bob. You're up
15:15
early this morning. No, I guess it's probably like lunchtime
15:19
for you there. How is it lunch time here?
15:23
Speaker 5: So?
15:24
Speaker 18: Hey, you know how many taxpayer dollars went into the
15:28
pockets of CEOs and executives of boards with a Mohave
15:34
desert escapade.
15:36
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, the price tag. Let me see, I've
15:38
got the price tag from the Department of Interior here. Yeah,
15:44
hang on a second. Here, I had the price tag
15:46
here a second ago. And that's the credit card debt story.
15:50
Where's the hobby Desert? It just it stuck out like
15:53
a sore thumb to me. Uh, it's multiple billions of
15:58
dollars in this buggoboo two here, it is two point
16:02
two billion dollars of pork on this on this monstrosity
16:08
that we know of.
16:09
Speaker 18: That doesn't include all the under the table handouts that
16:12
went to politicians to get it passed. Oh yeah, And
16:16
speaking on well, going on this subject, you know, with
16:20
all the Ukrainian drone strikes on the gasoline infrastructure here
16:25
in Russia on different parts, what's that gonna do to
16:30
the price of gasoline and oil for all of Europe.
16:35
Speaker 7: Well, it's one of the issues President Trump was talking
16:38
about that at the un is that he needs or
16:43
he's hoping to get everyone back on the same page.
16:47
See Trump's this guy. And some will say it's Pollyannic
16:50
for him to think in terms of, well, if we
16:53
could all just do business together, we wouldn't be shooting
16:56
at each other. But that's you know, that's thousands of
16:59
years ofhilosophy behind that, and you know, and kind of
17:03
the Abraham Accords were a little bit like that. Because
17:05
you're at Israel and four or five major Arab nations
17:09
like Saudi Arabia and Jordan all working together on the
17:12
Abraham Accords.
17:13
Speaker 18: Here listening to what I'm trying to say. So, like,
17:17
right now, the price of gasoline in Germany is about
17:22
seven euros a gallon.
17:24
Speaker 7: Wow, okay, and Russia.
17:29
Speaker 18: Supplies a fair amount of that oil and gas to there.
17:33
So if the Russian stops in which they have stopped now,
17:38
are proposing to stop exports for the rest of the
17:41
year because of all the infrastructures, so that their own
17:45
country has the oil. So if they stop the oil exportation,
17:51
so that means where's the oil going to come from?
17:54
Come to Europe? And you know the all that's exported,
17:57
you know, seventy almost eighty percent of the oil that's
18:00
that that has been leaving Russia goes to China and India.
18:04
Speaker 4: And what does India do.
18:05
Speaker 18: They turn around and sell it for normal rates and
18:08
that's how they're profiting. So the United States is actually
18:12
getting oil from Russia, but it's through India, which in
18:17
turns south of back to the United States. Right, And
18:19
that's you eliminate I'm sorry, but if you live, if
18:24
you eliminate twelve percent, okay, that means US oil producers
18:30
are going to have to start sending oil gasoline from
18:34
the United States to Europe so they have fuel for
18:41
the winter and the cars and machines. What does that
18:43
mean to the prices in the United States.
18:46
Speaker 7: Well, and this is one of the things that some
18:49
of the you know, the what's the word I want
18:53
to use, not peace neck But but then ido, the
19:00
anti war zelots that you know, just you know, want
19:03
to roll over and let this all be over with,
19:06
are trying to point out is that Trump is making
19:09
gas more expensive by allowing Ukraine to do this. That's
19:14
exactly the point that they're making, Bob. But you know,
19:18
the other the other groups are saying that Trump is
19:22
allowing Ukraine to do this to make money for American
19:26
gas and oil explorers in South Dakota and places like
19:31
that Pennsylvania. Uh, so that we sell more over there
19:35
and therefore lowering the price here uh in the United States.
19:40
But in either events, this.
19:44
Speaker 18: Actual to the opposity fall economics. If the supply, if
19:48
the demand remains the same United States and the supply
19:52
goes down because they're exporting that by simple economics means
19:57
the price and gas will go up.
19:58
Speaker 7: Well, but they're trying and they're still trying to get more.
20:01
Hang on, you know, there's still more production to be made.
20:05
We haven't even reached some of the levels that we
20:08
had during Trump one point zero in some of the
20:12
oil fields and shale fields there. So there's still production
20:15
to be made. Go ahead, right, But what what company.
20:22
Speaker 18: Is benefiting the most out of the situation?
20:29
Speaker 7: The answer British Petroleum.
20:32
Speaker 18: I don't know, think of Hunter Biden. What company was.
20:38
Speaker 7: Works?
20:41
Speaker 18: You've got it. Parisma is making billions of dollars in
20:46
process right now because of what's going on.
20:49
Speaker 7: You got to understand the as of those guys, the
20:52
Nazis and the azof Battalion are expensive. I mean they
20:55
you know, those mercenaries, they don't come cheap, he says.
21:00
But the thing is right.
21:02
Speaker 18: But the thing is is that's where Hunter Biden is
21:04
still getting all his money to be able to do
21:06
what he's doing. If he supposedly doesn't have the high
21:10
income and network is supposedly so bad, and they don't
21:12
have the finances, how is he able to pay for
21:16
all the security in the traveling he does. He's still
21:21
getting kickbacks from from Barisma.
21:23
Speaker 7: I thought he had finished his Barisma run when he
21:26
signed on with the Chinese Communist Bank. But I'll have
21:29
to I'll have to go dig up my Hunter Biden
21:31
files on that. But at the end of the day,
21:36
thirty seconds here, I've got I want to stick the
21:38
landing here on this. And the end of the day,
21:40
both sides promised they weren't going to target you know,
21:43
energy infrastructure, and I guess by that they meant they
21:47
were only going to target energy infrastructure.
21:51
Speaker 4: You have a great Russia.
21:55
Speaker 18: Has to Russia's packed the infrastructure of Ukraine because that's.
22:02
Speaker 12: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
22:07
actually three known gas is I I'm doctor Mitch, and
22:12
nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
22:16
long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood
22:20
vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood,
22:26
oxygen and nutrients to every part of your body. Both
22:31
age and poor diet can lead to a loss of
22:34
this precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
22:38
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
22:41
your hands and feet. Well, our product, ultimate nitric oxide,
22:46
can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

24:03
Speaker 12: Considered by most optimized, curcumin is one of the few
24:07
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
24:12
am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
24:18
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
24:22
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
24:26
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
24:31
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:36
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
24:42
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
24:45
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
24:50
healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

29:53
We've got time. It's only you know, approaching the end
29:56
of September, so probably about mid October we'll start doing
29:59
some drawing from the collected entries at Joe Thomas in
30:03
the Morning dot com. We're going to jump back to
30:07
the Komy indictment for a moment on this, because everyone's
30:14
trying to make hay out of all of this, and
30:18
I appreciate all the folks who have sent me that
30:20
wonderful mashup video of him and Hillary Clinton. No ethical
30:25
prosecutor would bring such a case. And I'm not sure
30:30
if your tongue's in cheek when you say that or not,
30:33
but this is important because if the FBI can be
30:38
weaponized and go back to yesterday's program, and I know
30:42
that if this is the only time you have for us.
30:45
You had Wednesday's program yesterday, but we were back by
30:48
six six Eastern on Thursday morning and we got into
30:53
the return of talking at Turning Point USA here in
30:59
Virginia at Virginia attack and the kid spouting off about
31:03
the Department of Justice.
31:06
Speaker 1: Seventy percent of conservatives seventy percent of all violence against
31:10
politics as conservatives or.
31:12
Speaker 7: Whatever nonsense he was spewing because it was from a
31:16
an act Blue email sent to him, and we pulled
31:22
the Department of Justice report he was referencing, and it
31:25
was in the comparison between the right wing zelots like
31:32
Unite the Right and those guys, and who's the other group, well,
31:39
a kind of like the asof Battalion, These closed borders,
31:44
un American Jews will not replace US crowd if you
31:50
call those if you accepted those are right wingers, which
31:53
they're not. I don't accept that premise. Then yeah, they said,
31:57
you know, seventy seventy percent of the crimes compared to
32:02
Islamist terrorists, and this is what an Attorney general like
32:07
James Comey can do. That was a Merrit Garland report
32:10
that was being used to make it look like you
32:12
and me, we're dangerous. Go back to Janet Neapolitano, Secretary
32:18
of Homeland Security under Barack Obama, saying that conservative talk
32:23
radio retired military members, these are the most dangerous and
32:28
volatile threats to domestic terrorism. And that's an important legal
32:34
word too, domestic terrorism, because that's the homegrown, that's the
32:39
Timothy McVeigh stuff. And he was and you have to
32:45
trail back Timothy McVeigh to Ruby Ridge to Waco, or
32:49
to Waco and then Ruby Ridge. So all of that
32:53
going on there as well. And this is what they
32:55
draw the parallels. And when they say right wing violence there,
32:59
let me get to you you on the phones at
33:01
four three four eight eight two four two one seven, uh,
33:05
knowing that we still have folks who want to open borders.
33:08
I will say it this way. Let us dis la
33:10
radio de jose in Now my Spanish has completely failed me.
33:17
I forget what in the morning is in Spanish? Good morning?
33:20
Who's this, Hola? It's Clark Orka Nolo's does what's going on? Clark?
33:29
Speaker 4: Well, let's see you were talking about what is it?
33:34
The right wing violence and everything.
33:35
Speaker 14: Yeah, here's the thing, Joe, to the consumers of agit prop,
33:43
the sufferers of agit consumption mm hm.
33:47
Speaker 7: And by the way, if you, if you, if you,
33:49
if you consume too much of that, do you get ajita?
33:55
Speaker 4: I think it can cause ajit eurysms.
33:58
Speaker 7: Anyway, I'm sorry to interrupt from that was one of
34:01
my father's favorite that you're giving me ajada.
34:04
Speaker 14: So you know, if it's in the Atlantic, if it's
34:10
up at Bloomberg News, if they see it at any
34:16
of those outlets, they could not believe it more fervently.
34:22
Speaker 4: Then if it came from a burning bush.
34:28
Speaker 14: No, but it is, I mean, and that's what we
34:31
have to understand that Joe obvious lies and I think
34:35
the down they know their lies, but they can't accept
34:38
it their lies, because then they would have to accept
34:41
everything else that their belief system is based.
34:45
Speaker 4: On is a lie, and they can't do that.
34:48
Speaker 7: Well, it's it's the beliefs of the cult is built
34:51
around the idea of there are people, and this is
34:55
sort of you know, correlation or causation. I think causing.
35:00
The Great Society has quadrupled the number of people who
35:03
live under the poverty level. So now you go to
35:06
the people who have middle class incomes, the few that
35:10
remain and say, we're going to blame you for everything
35:14
these people are suffering unless you give us more money
35:17
and you help and you go on these campaigns. So
35:20
they it's like this eighteen year old of Virginia Tech.
35:23
He's thirteen years in a school system that says Caucasian
35:27
males are the oppressors and you must give you know,
35:32
fairness and equity to people. So of course he's going
35:35
to grow up thinking, ah, yeah, why Trump is evil?
35:40
Speaker 4: His entire conscience existence. He was groomed for that moment, Joe.
35:46
And here's the thing now, I was listening.
35:52
Speaker 14: I believe it was the Necessity talking the other day
35:56
and mentioned existential threats.
36:01
Speaker 4: As I see it right now.
36:04
Speaker 14: America, our way of life, the West, we face three
36:09
existential threats to chaecoms.
36:11
Speaker 4: That's one.
36:13
Speaker 14: Now, they want influence on our work part of the world.
36:16
They want total control of their side.
36:20
Speaker 4: Then you have the globalists.
36:24
Speaker 14: And they want total control of our side of the
36:27
world and influence on the other side. And then you
36:30
have the Islamo fascists and they want the whole marble. Now,
36:36
the globalists are using the Islamo fascists to advance their
36:40
agenda right now.
36:43
Speaker 4: But the thing is this in America, MAGA.
36:48
Speaker 14: Started out as a slogan, but it's taken root and
36:55
it's spreading over seas, and the globalists see this, and
37:01
the wicked witch wasn't happy when Dorothy said the bucket
37:04
of water on her.
37:05
Speaker 4: Oh no, And the golobalists are not going to go quietly.
37:11
Speaker 14: Yeah, and you're of agit prop, Well, the consumers of
37:16
agit prop have never been more agitated than they are
37:20
right now.
37:21
Speaker 7: Well, we've got to break here, and I just want
37:24
to stick a point in here, because I think it
37:27
brings home the point in one of the things that
37:30
the purveyors of agit proper doing. Doctor Clark is trying to,
37:34
like they did with the Tea Party, destroy MAGA from
37:38
within by creating this narrative of what MAGA is versus
37:43
simply making Because again, what if I said for decades,
37:47
don't let things get achromized. Once we make you know,
37:51
an acronym out of something, we lose the definition of
37:56
make America great again, which was a slogan of Ronald Reagan.

Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
44:16
Media Network by Joe Thomas.
44:19
Speaker 4: Of political violence is committed by Republicans. Okay, look it up.
44:23
Speaker 7: That's the OJA just pulled it.
44:25
Speaker 19: The o J d OJ just pulled it from their website.
44:47
Speaker 1: So is there Riddle me this batman, Riddle me this
44:50
caped crusader. Is there a political ideology that begins by
44:57
insisting that in order for the few to gain dominion
45:02
over the many, that there has to be the seeds
45:05
of social discord between the classes. I mean, I'm not
45:11
I know the answer, and I'm pretty sure you know
45:14
the answer. I'm pretty sure doctor Clark knows the answer.
45:16
Was on with us right as we are heading to
45:19
the break. Is there is there a I know our
45:22
political ideology begins. We hold these truths to be self evident.
45:26
All men are created equal.
45:27
Speaker 7: But I recall there was one political ideology that started
45:32
with the idea of you must foment class war in
45:36
order to bring on the Great Revolution. You recall something
45:40
like that, Clark.
45:43
Speaker 14: So the seeds of tyranny can only take root in
45:47
chaotic soil, Joe.
45:50
Speaker 4: And if it's not chaotic, they have to make it chaotic.
45:54
Speaker 7: Yep. Well, as you've said before, if.
45:56
Speaker 4: An't white around and white for chaos to happen.
45:59
Speaker 7: If it's agitate, then there must be an agitator. If
46:02
it's coordinated, there must be a coordinator.
46:07
Speaker 14: So you know where we are now is the left
46:10
still enjoys control of the vast majority of the mainstream media,
46:14
but there's alternative media available, and more and more people
46:22
are rejecting the ideology of the left, and their ability
46:25
to influence people with the mainstream media is diminishing. So
46:31
as they see their overall numbers of supporters dropped, they
46:36
have to generate more agitation and consternation in the supporters
46:41
they have left. And I think that trend's going to continue,
46:47
and the violence that we're seeing, this type of an iceberg,
46:52
it's going to get worse.
46:54
Speaker 4: You know, this business of constantly calling.
46:57
Speaker 14: The right Nazis and let's see, oh, the vast majority
47:01
of the violence is from the right.
47:04
Speaker 4: As long as they get to define who the right is.
47:07
I guess they can make that work with their followers.
47:10
Speaker 7: Well, it was the word games I was talking about yesterday, Uh,
47:13
doctor Clark, which is, you know, they they invent the statistic.
47:17
This is why it's lies, damn lies and statistics because
47:21
the thing about statistics is you get to define, you know,
47:24
with major League Baseball statistics. Oh you know, he gets
47:28
more hits on Sunday afternoons on day games than anyone
47:32
else in major League Baseball, Bob. And it's all about,
47:35
you know, in its most innocuous form, it's all about
47:38
finding a way to say your number one. But in
47:40
its darkest path, you see the definitions of discord being
47:45
sewed rather than just being hey, you know, you and
47:48
I both say poverty is bad. Here's my idea to
47:52
fix it. Let's hear yours. Which was what was making
47:55
Charlie Kirk if you know, not to you know, sound
47:58
like we're repeating ourselves, repeating ourselves, repeating ourselves. That's what
48:03
made Charlie so effective. And I feel for this young
48:06
kid because I think if he had brought the same
48:09
rhetoric to Charlie Kirk, Charlie's empathy and Charlie's ability to say,
48:15
I see where you're coming from and have that empathy
48:19
for the thirteen years of indoctrination that led that kid
48:23
to Virginia, tex campus, he might have been saved. Rather
48:28
than getting into, you know, a battle with a prosecutor
48:34
trying to win the final argument before a jury, which
48:37
I mean, I understand that's Megan Kelly's shtick and that's
48:41
what she does, but I don't think it fulfills Charlie's mission,
48:45
which was to reach into that young man's heart find
48:48
the things that he wants, which sounds like, you know,
48:51
not to have Donald Trump be president. Okay, beyond that,
48:54
what do you want? And that was Charlie's gift was
48:58
to get past the oh, you hate Joe Biden and
49:01
I hate Donald Trump or whatever, and get past that
49:05
and find the humanity within. That's that's what I think
49:09
his gift was. Like that other guy who died in
49:13
his early thirties a couple of thousand years.
49:15
Speaker 14: Ago, Yeah, you got to be able to keep in
49:19
mind the other person's perspective in point of view if
49:22
you're going to ever be able to exert influence.
49:25
Speaker 7: I don't know.
49:25
Speaker 4: Maybe Megan ought to reach some Dell Carnegie.
49:29
Speaker 7: Well, she's a good prosecutor, though, I mean, and you know,
49:31
one of the things I felt like and you probably
49:34
get this too.
49:36
Speaker 4: To your way of thinking in a courtroom. So there
49:39
you go.
49:40
Speaker 7: And it's very wearisome to me. And my business people
49:43
will do this all the time. They'll come up and
49:45
it's like I'm being you know, grilled on the witness stand,
49:50
and it's wearisome. It's wearisome. After a while, I don't
49:53
want to feel like I'm I'm you know, being grilled
49:57
for discordant testimony or something. I just want to go
50:02
about my life.
50:04
Speaker 4: There you go.
50:05
Speaker 14: So you know, back to terms. Now, the left is
50:09
constantly using what Nazi and Hitler Joe do a little
50:16
bit of reading and research, and let's talk sometime next
50:21
week about where we find differences with democratic socialists and
50:28
national socialists.
50:31
Speaker 7: Okay, I mean, I think we could do it now,
50:33
but I'm running out of time here, so I.
50:36
Speaker 4: Think it would take some time to do.
50:38
Speaker 14: And there's going to be a lot of crickets if
50:42
we're trying to find differences.
50:45
Speaker 7: Oh, I know, I know. It's just a it's a
50:47
boundary thing, really, is what it comes down to is
50:49
who's where do you find the other people's money that
50:52
you're going to go use? There? Good stuff, doctor Clark,
50:55
have a great weekend. If I don't talk to you
50:57
tomorrow morning on our special Saturday morning edition of the program.
51:02
Speaker 4: I'd love to be there, all right.
51:04
Speaker 7: Four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
51:07
He mentioned Hitler, and you remember a day when that
51:12
was a no, no, don't mention Hitler on the radio.
51:15
This email comes in from Sharise who said, Joe, I
51:18
saw your picture on the radio station I receive your
51:22
program on on their website. I saw it right after
51:26
I saw that Alex Jones has grown what he's calling
51:29
a toothbrush mustache parentheses Hitler mustache. I see you have
51:34
your Vladimir Lenin go tea? Did you grow that? In solidary? Charis.
51:39
I've had this go tea since I was twenty five,
51:43
and I will confess to you that wasn't yesterday. This
51:47
go tea was dark brown when it was first grown.
51:51
So I've had this go tee when it was cool.
51:53
I've had this go tea when it wasn't cool. Uh,
51:56
And I keep waiting around for it to come back
51:59
and Ike says, Joe, can you play the song? Can
52:02
you play the song? Now that we're indicting James Comy.
52:05
So here we go as we head to the News
52:07
Morning Computer.

52:17
Speaker 13: One emails, fifty two email chains have been determined to
52:23
contain classified information.
52:25
Speaker 22: What difference and this point does it make those chains
52:28
top secret?
52:29
Speaker 13: Thirty six of those chains secret and contained confidential information?
52:35
Speaker 3: And what difference?
52:36
Speaker 15: And this point does say everything?
52:38
Speaker 12: I was admitted there was no fall, no regulations.
52:42
Speaker 16: Secret Drake Clinton.
