"Overton Window Washers" (Tuesday September 9, 2025, Hour 4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: That letter is so creepy and said I have its
• 0:04
  own documentary series on Netflix.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: The First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by
• 0:09
  Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas and Charlottesville Jewart.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Said steal men have a day at least for work.
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: When the sun comes up, drops.
• 0:21
  Speaker 5: A pet to school the way.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: Joe is a thing.
• 0:25
  Speaker 6: Add all the treasures.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: No one that Joe zellis.
• 0:31
  Speaker 7: Smile, he on the eggs.
• 0:33
  Speaker 8: Be Joe, thank you for letting me be of service
• 0:39
  to you this morning.
• 0:42
  Speaker 9: You know the business model. I'll tell you the news,
• 0:44
  I'll tell you what happened. We'll chop it up into
• 0:47
  easily digestible gummies. And more importantly, I want to find
• 0:51
  out how it's impacting you where you are. The singular,
• 0:54
  most important part and most local part of any radio
• 0:57
  station is you. We were just finishing up with Sherry
• 1:02
  from the Alzheimer's Association two weeks Colorado Springs, our friends
• 1:06
  at KPPF. The Walk to end Alzheimer's Colorado Springs is
• 1:12
  September twenty seventh, Greenwich, WGH.
• 1:15
  Speaker 10: Not so much.
• 1:16
  Speaker 9: You got to go to Norwalk for yours, which is
• 1:18
  the same because my grandmother lived in Greenwich and had
• 1:22
  Alzheimer's in eighteen seventy seven, seventy six at seventy five.
• 1:29
  So we'd love to see a walk in Greenwich. But yeah,
• 1:32
  you just up the pike to Norwalk and you can
• 1:35
  walk there in November.
• 1:38
  Speaker 10: So plenty of ways you can do that.
• 1:40
  Speaker 9: I want to spend a minute because we were talking
• 1:43
  about this DHS Midway Blitz that is the new enforcement.
• 1:51
  Plus the people are oh, but they were really important technicians.
• 1:55
  They're sure they weren't citizens, but they weren't. They hadn't
• 2:00
  gone through the process. The Hyundai factory folks, and the
• 2:06
  Overton window that's being used on citizenship needs more people
• 2:17
  pushing back on it. We can't allow the normalization of
• 2:23
  they're arresting your neighbors and putting them in concentration camps.
• 2:28
  That narrative that is the Overton window, that is, they're
• 2:34
  your neighbors. Why are they your neighbors? Because when they
• 2:37
  came to the country without citizenship, we gave them a
• 2:40
  place to stay in your neighborhood. But now they're your neighbors.
• 2:45
  So now they can.
• 2:46
  Speaker 10: Say, quote plausibly that your.
• 2:49
  Speaker 9: Neighbors are being rounded up and put in concentration camps,
• 2:53
  because prison is a form of a cam there's a
• 2:57
  concentrated population of people who are all there for a reason.
• 3:05
  They're but they're playing with the language. They're they're squeezing
• 3:10
  the truthiness out of these phrases. And if you don't
• 3:14
  push back, they're going to drag us through the Overton
• 3:16
  window where we're not going to have any borders. Citizenship
• 3:20
  isn't going to matter, your private property isn't going to matter.
• 3:26
  None of it is going to matter. You will not
• 3:28
  have rights. You will have, as Tim Kaine said, the
• 3:31
  rights the government gives you, and they're going to be
• 3:37
  more like privileges, and they're going to be based on
• 3:39
  what you do for the government. And then we will
• 3:45
  have lost everything that was fought for two hundred and
• 3:49
  fifty years ago because prosperity led to apathy. Because prosperity
• 4:01
  led to apathy, that's how we wind up here. That's it,
• 4:05
  that's all there is to it. It's time for our
• 4:08
  first things this morning brought to you by First Free
• 4:14
  in the Morning Coffee one two seven dot Coffee. That's
• 4:17
  the website, that's actual web web address one two seven
• 4:21
  dot Coffee, and that's where you go for your first
• 4:24
  free in the morning coffee from the one to twenty
• 4:27
  seven roastery helping an orphanage in Uganda. Federal Appeals Court
• 4:36
  said that the Democrat led states challenging the president's decision
• 4:40
  to fire twenty five thousand probationary government workers didn't have
• 4:46
  standing President Trump's approval rating. Interestingly enough, in the same
• 4:51
  poll that said fifty seven percent of Americans after inundated
• 4:57
  with negative reporting on the National Guard in Washington, d
• 5:03
  C disapproved fifty seven percent of their deployment. However, the
• 5:08
  president's job approval rating went up two percentage points. Supreme
• 5:13
  Court back President Trump's approach towards immigration reform on Monday
• 5:17
  and letting federal agents proceed with raids in southern California
• 5:22
  and in Chicago, where the Department of Homeland Security announced
• 5:26
  Operation Midway Blitz. The DHS issued a press release saying
• 5:35
  immigration and Customs enforcement operations in honor of Katie Abraham,
• 5:40
  who was killed by a drunk driving hit and.
• 5:42
  Speaker 10: Run illegal.
• 5:52
  Speaker 9: And that operation began yesterday in Chicago, and those are
• 5:58
  our first things. There's more that's right coming up on
• 6:02
  the end of it. No, we still have time for
• 6:04
  a story or two more. Police don't tell me. I
• 6:06
  can't tell more stories. There Sinaloa cartel, a batman esque
• 6:12
  one hundred and seventy one arrests in one raid, six
• 6:16
  hundred total in the drug running cartel, and a lawyer
• 6:20
  for the engineers at Hyundai said they were just there
• 6:24
  trying to train people. President Trump said, please follow our
• 6:28
  immigration laws. Those are our first things. At Fishburn Military School,

  Speaker 7: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 7:04
  turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: It was Medishare that came through for us and there
• 7:09
  was no hassles, there was no problem.
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 7:15
  of such an incredible ministry.
• 7:17
  Speaker 11: Meta share is a biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
• 7:21
  share each other's medical.
• 7:22
  Speaker 12: Expenses Medishare is a family, a group of people that
• 7:27
  stick with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 7:30
  Speaker 11: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years
• 7:34
  old and members have shared over eight billion dollars of
• 7:37
  each other's medical bills.
• 7:38
  Speaker 13: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 7:40
  You can focus on on supporting other people.
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: Meda Share is affordable.
• 7:45
  Speaker 11: Medishare is biblical.
• 7:46
  Speaker 14: Medashare is family.

  That's eight five five share.

  Speaker 15: 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.
• 8:31
  The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  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
• 8:50
  healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

  Speaker 16: I'm Andrew Saul, Commission of Self Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:16
  personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  are not from US. Real solid security employees will never
• 9:25
  threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  call like this, hang up. Never give the call of
• 9:33
  your personal information like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  enforcement on the Office of the Inspector General at OIG

  and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 17: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah. It's always a boy growing
• 10:01
  up on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  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
• 10:17
  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
• 10:25
  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.
• 10:34
  Speaker 10: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
• 10:36
  Speaker 17: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
• 10:38
  They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
• 10:41
  in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
• 10:44
  highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
• 10:47
  in need. So please join me an American Humane and
• 10:50
  supporting our heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals
• 10:53
  on this planet we inhabit together. Go to American Humane
• 10:56

• 11:00
  Speaker 18: That's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:05
  Speaker 18: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  heart and brain.
• 11:11
  Speaker 10: Who's with me?
• 11:12
  Speaker 18: 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 14: Love that guy, me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 12: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
• 11:23
  it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28
  Speaker 19: 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
• 11:52
  leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
• 11:56
  improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
• 12:00
  when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
• 12:02
  energy Star logo and read the energy guide label. And
• 12:06
  there are day to day things you can do. Lower
• 12:09
  your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer.
• 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 20: 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,
• 12:43

  Speaker 20: Treatment works, recovery is possible.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Amaze your friends here in First Thing Today by Joe Thomas.
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: Earlier in the program, and and sort of it led
• 13:29
  to our.
• 13:32
  Speaker 9: Discussion. It led to us discussing the Convention of States
• 13:37
  and fighting corruption in the American government in a constitutional manner,
• 13:43
  which is, don't give them any real authority and power
• 13:48
  to move money and or the business. And then you
• 13:54
  don't have corruption because there's no there's no profit mode
• 13:59
  margin for the corruption. You spend a lot of time
• 14:02
  and money to get nothing because the government can't do
• 14:05
  anything for you. So that being said, I go back
• 14:12
  to this Epstein and I don't know what the Democrats
• 14:16
  that released the picture the supposed script, I don't know.
• 14:22
  It looked like a set list from a band. You know,
• 14:25
  it's supposedly a script that Donald Trump had printed on
• 14:30
  a silhouette, a badly drawn silhouette.
• 14:33
  Speaker 10: By the way of a woman's body.
• 14:37
  Speaker 9: And if that Donald Trump thinks a woman's body looks
• 14:40
  like he needs to see them more frequently.
• 14:43
  Speaker 10: But that Meanings said, it just it puzzles me.
• 14:47
  Speaker 9: And I made this comparison earlier, and it tweaked Jerry
• 14:52
  in Lowell, who said, Joe, did I just hear you?
• 14:55
  Compare Dan Bungino to Ken Starr. First, ken Starr nailed
• 15:01
  Bill Clinton to the cross, So what's wrong with what
• 15:04
  Dan Bongino's doing?
• 15:07
  Speaker 10: Said?
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: My worry is, see ken Starr didn't.
• 15:09
  Speaker 10: Nail Donald Bill Clinton.
• 15:13
  Speaker 9: Ken Starr nailed Bill Clinton on something that he could,
• 15:18
  but he couldn't nail Donald Trump for Whitewater. So he
• 15:24
  went after the Blue Dress, and I think he got
• 15:27
  so distracted by the Blue Dress and Monica Lewinsky that
• 15:32
  he forgot about Whitewater. Because Whitewater becoming difficult thanks to
• 15:37
  Vince Foster's untimely demise, and we'll call it that for
• 15:42
  the sake of debate. Who doesn't get shot walking through
• 15:47
  a DC area park? I mean really, Oh, I'm sorry,
• 15:53
  you know, by himself. Yeah, he was, you know, took
• 15:55
  it as sure, it took himself out because he couldn't
• 15:59
  stand the pain of what he had shredded at the
• 16:02
  Rose Law Firm. And so my concern is that the
• 16:07
  Epstein case is going to go the same route that
• 16:10
  we're going to go after things that we shouldn't be
• 16:13
  going after. Show me the decisions. One of the things
• 16:16
  that just annoys me about this Epstein case is the
• 16:20
  presumption that we wouldn't support Israel if Jeffrey Epstein hadn't
• 16:24
  been taking teenage girls to his island to get American
• 16:29
  government officials to support Israel. Is that really what you think?
• 16:36
  Then I've got a mischaracterization of what most people think.
• 16:39
  Let me get to you at four three, four eight
• 16:41
  eight two four to two one seven, Good morning, You're
• 16:44
  on the air, first thing today by Joe Thomas.
• 16:46
  Speaker 10: Who's this? Joe?
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: This is ill Mustachio, the Great, the Great, Forgotten c
• 16:55
  Grade wrestler Il Mustachio Imo.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: You can find me at Ill Mustachio on X. I
• 17:03
  wanted to talk about the Overton Windows shift that you
• 17:06
  were discussing on immigration about ten minutes ago, and joint
• 17:10
  out that Virginia right now is where that battlefield is.
• 17:14
  I know you're nationally syndicated. We're talking to Hartford, we're
• 17:18
  talking on the West coast. But this, this Overton window
• 17:20
  fight is in Virginia. Abigail Spanberger, a former woman or congresswoman,
• 17:26
  endorsed literally not making this up by both James Comy
• 17:31
  and and Brenner. I was soon to be indicted endorsing duo.
• 17:37
  She has announced that her first act as governor in
• 17:40
  Virginia will be to repeal Governor Youngkin's order to cooperate
• 17:45
  and make essentially Virginia a sanctuary state. Right, so, Virginia
• 17:49
  has lurched back to the right a smidge and Glenn
• 17:53
  Youngkins done a great job as governor, and he's cooperating
• 17:56
  with the Trump administration as they seek to deport criminal,
• 17:59
  ill illegal aliens. But I repeat myself in the phrases
• 18:03
  criminal and illegal and spam. Burger's idea is, hey, let
• 18:08
  me push more votes out by telling people the first
• 18:11
  thing I'll do is recind the executive order to cooperate
• 18:14
  in the deportation of criminal illegal aliens. Now, there's this
• 18:19
  wag the dog thing going on in Virginia where everybody's
• 18:21
  telling us that winsome Seers can't win, that winsom Seiers
• 18:25
  will not become the first African American female governor. Joe
• 18:28
  for your listeners, not in Virginia. The dust up recently
• 18:31
  has been a Spanburger supporter who said, if transgenders can't
• 18:35
  use your bathrooms, blacks can't.
• 18:38
  Speaker 10: Use my water fountains. Oh, we about it.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's where we are. I actually thought Republicans
• 18:45
  said defeated the segregationist in Virginia back in the sixties.
• 18:49
  But apparently what's old is new in the Democrat Party.
• 18:52
  And if you want to shift that over to the
• 18:53
  window back, no matter where you are in the country,
• 18:56
  reach out and try to help the winsome Seers or
• 18:58
  governor campaign to really. Spanberger's big announcement recently was, Hey,
• 19:03
  the first thing I'm gonna do is stop co operating
• 19:05
  with Donald Trump as he seeks to deport criminal illegal aliens. Yep, yes,
• 19:13
  more wisdom and wit to be found at Gil Mustachio.
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: On X Well and here's Il Mustachio.
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: One of the things we pointed out on this program
• 19:22
  is Gary is not Gary Johnson.
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: Robert Johnson.
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: Robert Johnson, the founder of Black Entertainment Television, dropped five
• 19:31
  hundred thousand large into a Winsome series campaign, and finally
• 19:36
  there was some yeast to help the Doe rise and
• 19:41
  she's starting to get money in the coffers. I don't
• 19:45
  think it's too late. It was September twenty eighth when
• 19:48
  Terry mccaulliffe said, I don't think parents have any right
• 19:50
  to tell the schools what they can teach. That was
• 19:53
  only fourteen words. The son that Abigail Spanberger's supporter held
• 19:58
  was fifteen words. I used to think that a picture
• 20:02
  was worth a thousand words, but I'm going to take
• 20:04
  the fifteen words and the over and I think it's
• 20:08
  got people waking up to what's actually going on here.
• 20:12
  But the point about being a sanctuary, and everyone's, oh,
• 20:16
  we're not a sanctuary.
• 20:17
  Speaker 10: We have no law that says but if you.
• 20:19
  Speaker 9: Have a policy that says you will not turn over
• 20:22
  a non citizen to Ice when he comes into your custody,
• 20:27
  or you will not cooperate with ICE when they say
• 20:30
  we have reasonable, we have reason to believe there are
• 20:33
  non citizens here. Then you've become a sanctuary, whether you
• 20:37
  have a law that says we are a sanctuary city
• 20:40
  or not. Which is the silly third grade games the
• 20:43
  left likes to play.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Well, you can win a lot of debates when you
• 20:47
  get to control the lexicon, but the most basic truth
• 20:51
  is that there is no law without law enforcements. So
• 20:55
  no matter what laws are on the books, if they're
• 20:58
  not enforced, then there is no rule of law. And again,
• 21:02
  if you want to push back against that Overton window,
• 21:06
  help win some seers, because I think frankly that if
• 21:08
  we can message this to the vast majority of common
• 21:11
  sensical voters, that we win. And the problem is that
• 21:15
  whin someon's going to get outspent. And that's okay, right,
• 21:18
  Donald Trump was outspent three to one. We just got
• 21:21
  to hang in the pocket, hang close because we have
• 21:23
  a better message, and our message is written in truth,
• 21:25
  which of course you can find at ill Mustachio on X.
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: I was gonna say, and as I've said to gatherings
• 21:34
  that have been crazy enough to bring me to speak
• 21:37
  to them. It is quite permissible because there are plenty
• 21:40
  of people who say that the GOP ticket in Virginia,
• 21:43
  just like the GOP ticket in New Jersey, is not
• 21:46
  cut from central casting. Look at the things you will
• 21:50
  be voting against if you support them, because I think
• 21:53
  in this case, if that's the problem, then look at
• 21:57
  what you should be voting against.

  With record heat, wildfires, and hurricanes forecast this summer, how
• 23:10
  do we keep our pets safe? No matter where we live,
• 23:14
  the potential for natural or man made disasters is a possibility,
• 23:18
  so preparation is key. First, make sure to have an
• 23:22
  evacuation plan mapped out in advance. Know where you're going
• 23:25
  to go and how you're going to get there. Next,
• 23:29
  put together a pet emergency kit with several days food, medicine,
• 23:34
  a first aid kit, and other essential items. Make sure
• 23:37
  your pets are microchipped with updated contact information in case
• 23:41
  you get separated, and be sure to have your pets
• 23:44
  vaccination and medical records, plus contact info for your vet

  Speaker 15: 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

  Speaker 2: The First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by
• 28:15
  Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte's.
• 28:25
  Speaker 9: Actually his name is Ill Mustachio, noted. Uh, you know
• 28:29
  International Wrestling Superstar uh and uh and political gad fly
• 28:36
  as well.
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: The X feed is Ill Mustachio.
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: Uh there, but you know Musta.
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: Can I call you Stash just for short, you know,
• 28:47
  pick up on what I was saying about being okay?
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: Uh?
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: If if you're if your ticket didn't look like what
• 28:54
  the ticket is, whether it's New Jersey or Virginia or whatever.
• 28:58
  Speaker 10: If you're if the ticket you're looking.
• 28:59
  Speaker 9: At isn't right out of your own central casting, vote
• 29:04
  for the things you're against, which are seminal.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Right, and and to pick a fight with the host.
• 29:12
  I do think this Republican ticket in Virginia is in
• 29:14
  fact cut from central casting. Jason Marys is the is
• 29:18
  the Yeah is the son of a Cuban immigrant who
• 29:20
  came after communistism defendant descended on Cuba. Winsom Seiars is
• 29:24
  a legal immigrant of color, a black woman who would
• 29:28
  be the first black female governor in the United States history.
• 29:31
  And and and you've got an openly gay but rock
• 29:34
  solid conservative running for lieutenant governor. So I mean this
• 29:37
  this is a ticket that looks like America. This is
• 29:40
  all the Democrats talking points sort of turned against them. Meanwhile,
• 29:44
  the Democrats have gone back to their segregationist roots from
• 29:47
  the from the from the Jim Crow era. I mean,
• 29:50
  Virginia's one to watch right now because certainly the state
• 29:53
  leans Democrat. But boy are beating their brains out with
• 29:57
  the truth.
• 29:58
  Speaker 9: Well and and I think when confront with it, I
• 30:00
  think they're not. I think there's plenty of Democrats who
• 30:03
  would support guys like Chad Peterson back in the day
• 30:07
  who are just not on board with the crazy reparationist,
• 30:11
  open border kind of stuff that's going on here. Ill Mustachio,
• 30:16
  And you weren't going against the host. I agree with you.
• 30:19
  I'm just speaking to what too many of my listeners
• 30:23
  have said about why they won't vote in the twenty
• 30:28
  twenty five gubernatorial race in Virginia because they wanted someone
• 30:33
  else to run for governor. They wanted someone else to
• 30:37
  run for attorney general. They wanted somebody who wasn't gay
• 30:41
  running for lieutenant governor. And I'm sorry, I'm going to
• 30:44
  call it out for what it is, and if it
• 30:46
  makes you disquiet, I'm using the Overton window. I'm going
• 30:50
  to drag you back towards a place where you say,
• 30:53
  hold on a second. Here, the lieutenant governor candidate of
• 30:56
  the Democratic Party makes ilhan Omar look like, you know,
• 31:02
  pick a pick a good kind of center center right
• 31:06
  Republican John Cornyn or something.
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: Uh. She is.
• 31:11
  Speaker 9: She is as far left as can be. But people
• 31:13
  are going to allow her to become lieutenant governor because
• 31:18
  that the Republican conservative who worked not just at the
• 31:22
  Reagan Library but for Ronald Reagan himself is insufficiently conservative
• 31:28
  for you. That's the part that frustrates me, and I'm
• 31:30
  going to say it out loud because i want people to,
• 31:33
  you know, kind of get that aqua velva moment.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Ill Mustagio, Well, the beatings will continue until morale I
• 31:40
  proves right. I mean, the the I'm taking my ball
• 31:43
  and going home crowd is the reason we lose a
• 31:46
  lot of elections. And while I'm piling on the metaphor,
• 31:50
  I don't think we should let the perfect be the
• 31:52
  enemy of the good. And again, such wisdom can be
• 31:55
  found at Il Mustachio on X.
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: And I appreciate you letting the shaving reference go. Buy
• 32:00
  Ill mustachio. How many inches is?
• 32:03
  Speaker 10: Hold on?
• 32:03
  Speaker 9: Let me phrase this question carefully. How do you measure
• 32:07
  the size of a mustache? I guess I've never really
• 32:10
  asked anyone how do you how do you measure a
• 32:12
  man's mustache?
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: The mustache infect is the measure of the man. But
• 32:18
  by the way, the poll at Ill Mustache Olnex right
• 32:21
  now is Yukon and Cornelius super cool because a strapped
• 32:26
  with a gat b outstanding knowledge of bumbles orse or
• 32:32
  s amazing mustache. So you can you can go and
• 32:36
  vote on what makes Yukon and Cornelius as cool as
• 32:40
  he is. Joe, you are the best in the nation
• 32:43
  in this timeslot at what you do, and I hope
• 32:46
  that you will continue to grow and I appreciate you
• 32:48
  entertaining your mustachio. Folks, we can shift the Overton window
• 32:52
  right here in Virginia. No matter what state you're in,
• 32:55
  this is the fight that will lead us into the
• 32:57
  twenty twenty six midterms.
• 32:59
  Speaker 9: Jennis just wrote in I know what you look like, Joe.
• 33:02
  If he is ill mustachio, you must be the gray coat.
• 33:06
  So I guess that's our tag team, Ill Mustachio and
• 33:09
  the Greycoat. There and we'll take on all comers into
• 33:13
  the turnbuggled brother, and I'll talk to you soon.
• 33:17
  Speaker 10: I'd bless Joe.
• 33:21
  Speaker 9: Quick catch up. We're working hard this morning at getting
• 33:26
  the It's complex. I've never handled a contest like this
• 33:34
  where we've done multiple ticket giveaways in multiple cities.
• 33:40
  Speaker 10: At multiple times.
• 33:42
  Speaker 9: Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets go on sale this week for
• 33:46
  their Ghosts of Christmas Eve twenty twenty five tour.
• 33:51
  Speaker 10: Joel Hochstro from the band.
• 33:53
  Speaker 9: Is going to be joining us Friday morning on the
• 33:56
  program to talk about the new tour and back from European.
• 34:00
  I did a European tour and stuff like that. That
• 34:03
  being said, where we are carried on stations in I
• 34:08
  think fifteen different places where Trans Siberian Orchestra will be
• 34:12
  performing and obviously on different dates.
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: So whether it's Youngstown or Ohio or.
• 34:21
  Speaker 10: I think it's is it.
• 34:24
  Speaker 9: Do we have an as Aurora, Colorado?
• 34:27
  Speaker 10: No, it's Colorado's strings.
• 34:29
  Speaker 9: So I think every place from Youngstown to Aurora we
• 34:34
  have tickets. So we have to set up this website
• 34:37
  so that you can enter for the show you want
• 34:39
  to go see on the station that you listen to
• 34:43
  and I'm not going to judge.
• 34:44
  Speaker 10: I mean, if you're.
• 34:44
  Speaker 9: In Lowell, Massachusetts, but you have friends in Daytona enter
• 34:49
  for the Daytona Show, if you're going to be down
• 34:51
  there for it, I know snowbirds, I know people who
• 34:54
  will leave Elmira, Corning for you know, Alabama for the
• 35:00
  or time. You know, it's an understandable process there.
• 35:04
  Speaker 10: But we were setting up for that more reaction.
• 35:11
  Speaker 9: The question I had regarding the size of our government,
• 35:26
  Rey writes in our nation is way too big to
• 35:28
  be administered centrally. Can anyone point to anything that is
• 35:32
  well run out of Washington? The argument against the Convention
• 35:35
  of States is that we're such a big country we need.
• 35:38
  Speaker 10: A big government. But he Ray's right.
• 35:41
  Speaker 9: The Constitution said that really congressional districts should be no
• 35:46
  more than thirty thousand people. And I know what that
• 35:50
  would look like. I know what arena you would have
• 35:52
  to fill. The Trans Siberian Orchestra would fill that arena
• 35:56
  and give a lot of money to charity. But each
• 36:02
  congressional district is seven hundred thousand people. How well listened
• 36:07
  to do you think you are? And if you listen
• 36:10
  to a lot of protests, what's the common theme people
• 36:15
  aren't hearing us. Hello, McFly. This is the point that
• 36:21
  we've been making all along is you break it up
• 36:24
  into smaller, bite sized chunks by number one, limiting how
• 36:28
  much Congress can do anyway.
• 36:31
  Speaker 10: And that's the corruption that started.
• 36:33
  Speaker 9: In the reconstruction the premise of oh well we broke it,
• 36:37
  will buy it. And the Marshall Plan was sort of
• 36:41
  a build out of the same idea, but the idea
• 36:46
  that the federal government would collect taxes from all over
• 36:50
  the country and then spend it on projects in specific places.
• 36:55
  That's where the corruption lays root. That's like, oh, well,
• 37:02
  I know what we could do with some of this money,
• 37:04
  and then the pork industry begins, not the Chikom owned
• 37:09
  and operated Smithfield Foods, but I mean government pork. Well,
• 37:15
  you need me to vote for this bill in committee.
• 37:17
  And I need a butterfly conservancy in my home district
• 37:21
  because it'll create four jobs, mostly for friends of mine.
• 37:26
  Or I need a highway built. Why do you think
• 37:30
  Interstate ninety nine in between somewhere near Altoona, Pennsylvania and
• 37:36
  somewhere near State College, Pennsylvania, is called the Bud Shuster Highway.
• 37:42
  It wasn't because Bud Schuster. It was because he was
• 37:46
  the longest standing senior member of the Transportation Committee, and
• 37:52
  then his son somehow inherited that seat when he ran
• 37:56
  for his dad's seat, and say that's the corruption.
• 38:03

  Speaker 10: Stats writes in.

  Speaker 9: Stats writes into JT in the Morning radio at gmail
• 44:35
  dot com. Fresh from reading the free Press, I'm not
• 44:39
  sure if it's the Detroit Free Press. There's several different
• 44:43
  free press websites out there. Have not listened recently to podcasts.
• 44:49
  Curious whether you mentioned the August twenty second murder of
• 44:52
  Ukrainian immigrant Arena Zaruska by Di Carlos Brown all Stats.
• 45:00
  We spent a good bit of yesterday morning's program between
• 45:03
  that and Jasmine Crockett her what is now quickly becoming
• 45:10
  known as her Shoe closet referendums on poverty and crime.
• 45:19
  But yes, we did, and we also pointed out that
• 45:22
  at the time of yesterday's program, de Carlos Brown had
• 45:25
  more money in a GoFundMe account set up for his
• 45:29
  legal defense than Irena had in the GoFundMe account for
• 45:36
  her final internment expenses. I don't know how that makes
• 45:42
  you feel. I know how it makes me feel. Today's
• 45:48
  Free Press has four in my opinion posts on how
• 45:54
  this murder has played out not in the media, and
• 45:56
  what it means for our public spaces, permissiveness, freedom and safety.
• 46:01
  Stats goes on to right curious as I walk around
• 46:04
  our downtown mall each morning, whether any listeners have done
• 46:08
  so in the last three or four years to notice
• 46:11
  how our flagship city of Charlottesville has seeded the public
• 46:14
  spaces to the homeless, the mentally ill, and people simply
• 46:18
  wandering around. It's not just Charlottesville, my hometown of New
• 46:23
  York City. I mean pick the downtown area Brooklyn, Manhattan,
• 46:30
  Oregon is a mess. San Francisco is the first one
• 46:33
  that seems to have gone past the tipping point where
• 46:37
  they started to elect albeit Democrats, but democrats who promise
• 46:42
  to clean up the streets and bring businesses back. So
• 46:47
  proof that even a broken record can be right once
• 46:50
  in a while. Open up our downtown areas to the homeless,
• 46:57
  mentally ill, and people simply wandering around eye others as
• 47:00
  potential marks for money or worse. And here's the problem
• 47:08
  is that we are hung up on this idea that
• 47:16
  we can't put somebody and it's the fault of public institutions.
• 47:25
  I'm not going to argue this. Because nobody wanted to
• 47:28
  do mental health care. Nobody wanted to do it, so
• 47:33
  the public, the state government started doing it. The state
• 47:36
  government started running the asylums, and in the fifties and sixties,
• 47:46
  the asylums, just like the asylums in the Soviet Union,
• 47:51
  became deposit grounds of people we just didn't want to
• 47:54
  deal with, and so they became hellholes of depression. They
• 48:10
  became hellholes of dispiritment and decay and decline. Flash pointing
• 48:18
  on Heraldo Rivera's seminal piece after whistleblowers called him to
• 48:23
  Willowbrook Sanitarium in Staten Island and the horrors of people
• 48:30
  just sitting around naked in their human wastes because nobody
• 48:35
  wanted to clean it up. Because there's varying degrees of
• 48:42
  what people need for help, treatment is their treatment. And
• 48:47
  then you go all the way up to a Rosemary Kennedy,
• 48:50
  JFK's elder sister, RFK Junior's aunt who was lobotomized, who
• 49:00
  for most and this is a family that gathered a
• 49:03
  lot of news coverage even before JFK was president, and
• 49:08
  Rosemary Kennedy, by all accounts, was nothing more than a
• 49:12
  brassy broad who would tell you straight to your face
• 49:15
  what they thought you were doing wrong, g Irish from
• 49:21
  the backstreets of Boston where dad was a bootlegger. Can't
• 49:25
  imagine how she got like that. They had her committed
• 49:29
  because they said she had a mental health condition. Then
• 49:34
  they had her lobotomized, and that's on their record. Their
• 49:39
  sins are their sins. Was she really? We don't know,
• 49:43
  But we as a society, because of these stories, don't
• 49:46
  want to treat or help people who are going through crisis.
• 49:51
  And part of it is because we don't have a
• 49:53
  well established judicial system. We have no faith in our
• 49:59
  current judicial system, never mind one that might be there
• 50:03
  for a mental health court. I've talked about this with
• 50:05
  former commonwealth's attorneys aka district attorneys. You've heard of drug
• 50:11
  court where somebody who's caught drug possessions things like that
• 50:18
  can serve their sentence getting clean and proving their sobriety
• 50:26
  and their liberty from the drugs and have their sentences
• 50:32
  overturned based on that conduct. But we have no mental
• 50:37
  health court. We don't have a mental health court where
• 50:40
  if somebody calls a red flag or a what do
• 50:44
  they call it, a welfare check on Joe Thomas, I
• 50:50
  was listening to Joe Thomas, and I think he needs
• 50:52
  a welfare check.
• 50:53
  Speaker 10: He compared Dan Bongino to Ken Starr. Next thing, you.
• 50:59
  Speaker 9: Know, because most laws in most states require mandatory incarceration,
• 51:09
  and we treat it like incarceration and observation in places
• 51:14
  where there are no people to do the observation stats
• 51:19
  that they wind up there for forty eight hours. Now
• 51:21
  they're angry and perhaps having a difficult time holding onto
• 51:25
  their marbles. And this guy in Charlotte had been what
• 51:30
  six times in ten years, arrested for various assaults and
• 51:35
  robberies and threatens, and nobody got him help because the
• 51:41
  catch and release system, the hug and release system of
• 51:44
  justice and most of these blue cities is such that
• 51:48
  we don't want to judge, we mischaracterize the passage judged,
• 51:52
  not lest ye be judged. Doesn't mean you can't judge people,
• 52:00
  and it doesn't mean there aren't societal norms that if
• 52:02
  you're not behaving within the society has a right to say,
• 52:07
  there is everything, all right. This is how you wind
• 52:09
  up with Bobby the Minneapolis murderer, who was in grievous
• 52:16
  pain over his own body dysphoria at least, if not
• 52:20
  other issues, and rather than deal with it, he was
• 52:30
  let go saying it's not you know, it's not a problem,
• 52:33
  it's a quirk, it's a character trait. Until it took
• 52:37
  the lives of two kids, or in this case, this
• 52:41
  guy took the life of the Ukrainian girl. We have
• 52:44
  to get it right and we'll try again tomorrow morning.
• 52:47
  So long and thanks for all the fish.
