"Crime and Punishment" (Wednesday September 10, 2025, Hour 3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Fiant.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: I'm more megan now make America great again than I've
• 0:07
  ever been.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: On a need to know basis, because you need to
• 0:11
  know the first thing.
• 0:13
  Speaker 4: Today, thank you for letting me be of service to
• 0:35
  you on this Texnsday, the day we celebrate all the
• 0:39
  things that God has gifted you to be.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're not a guitar player. Maybe you're a butcher,
• 0:43
  a baker, a candlestick maker, whatever it is, figure out
• 0:50
  what it is. And if you don't know, and I
• 0:52
  said this earlier, it's morning in America, it is the
• 0:58
  day to do it. I mean, I grew up in
• 1:01
  a period where everybody in their grandmother had a self
• 1:04
  help book? Who moved my cheese? What smells like cheese?
• 1:08
  Who cut the cheese? Everybody had a self help book
• 1:14
  in my formative years. So maybe that's colored, I don't know,
• 1:18
  but gosh, it was everywhere. You really weren't anybody until
• 1:23
  you had written a self help book. And most of them,
• 1:26
  it turned out, were just autobiographies. I guess somebody in
• 1:34
  the book publishing industry said, you know, we're not really
• 1:38
  moving these autobiographies. What if we call them self help books?
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: And they flew off the shelves like mustangs or hot
• 1:48
  cakes or whatever. This text message comes in, Father Joe,
• 1:52
  great sermon this morning. See either this is the stuff
• 1:56
  that I worry about. We were just talking about the
• 2:03
  virtues that we should be promoting rather than the vices
• 2:07
  that were celebrating. And I get accused of giving a
• 2:12
  sermon on the mount. I don't want to give sermons.
• 2:15
  I'm going to have a conversation with you, you know.
• 2:21
  And but when you look at and when you listen
• 2:24
  to President Trump talk about the allowances and the indulgences,
• 2:28
  you wonder you remember fancifully, this carpenter rabbi from Galilee
• 2:34
  shows up in the biggest city in his world, ready
• 2:37
  to go to the biggest celebration in his faith, only
• 2:39
  to find out that his church is selling indulgences. So
• 2:43
  you can do whatever it is you want, and you
• 2:46
  know none will be the wiser, and you're not going
• 2:48
  to have to pay the piper for your sins, for
• 2:53
  your vices. As Don Han once wrote, you haven't been
• 3:02
  the same since you've had your little crash, But you
• 3:04
  might feel better if they give you some cash. That
• 3:07
  was what the temple was doing back in the day. Hey,
• 3:11
  real quick though, if you want to get plugged back
• 3:13
  into feeling good about the world we live in Trans
• 3:17
  Siberian Orchestra. It's what my wife and I and my
• 3:20
  three kids it said, weren't really the only things my
• 3:22
  three kids will all agree on is they call We're
• 3:25
  going to c TSM this year right now, all over
• 3:28
  the place, and for the first time we have a
• 3:30
  chance to send a whole bunch of people to see
• 3:33
  the show. No, it's not in my flagship city this year.
• 3:37
  They've been and I've hosted the show. But if you
• 3:40
  go to Joe Thomas in the Morning dot com, you
• 3:42
  can enter for your city, wherever you're listening, wherever you're consuming.
• 3:47
  First thing today you might be able to go see
• 3:50
  Trans Siberian Orchestra because I'm friends with the band. You know,
• 3:54
  you got to have high friends in low places, or
• 3:58
  maybe it's the other way around. Our first things this
• 4:01
  morning US Attorney's Office and the FBI have announced that
• 4:06
  the murderer on the light rail train in Charlotte that
• 4:10
  killed Irena Zarutzka last month is facing federal hate crime charges.
• 4:18
  Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant was in front of the Supreme
• 4:21
  Court warning them that it cost billions of dollars in
• 4:24
  refunds if they rule against President Trump's tariffs. The President
• 4:30
  himself Tuesday criticized the State of Israel's strike against Iran
• 4:36
  backed Hamas leaders who were in Cutter at the time,
• 4:39
  but added that eliminating the terror group and their control
• 4:44
  and command structure was quote a worthy goal. President Trump
• 4:49
  dined out last night. Took his motor kede to Joe's Seafood,
• 4:53
  Prime Stake and Stone Crab on Fifteenth Street. We'll see
• 4:56
  how long before that restaurant becomes the site of all
• 4:59
  the protests in DC. But he took the family out
• 5:04
  for dinner to show how safe Washington, d c. Has become.
• 5:08
  The President also signed an executive memorandum ordering his administration
• 5:12
  to address misleading direct to consumer drug advertising and ensure,
• 5:17
  as the President says, transparency and accuracy, especially in the
• 5:23
  parts of side effects. EU officials met with the administration
• 5:29
  yesterday to talk about perhaps levying one hundred percent tariffs
• 5:33
  on China and maybe India because they buy oil from Russia.
• 5:39
  Supreme Court paused judges order that required the administration to
• 5:44
  stop required the administration to spend billions of dollars that
• 5:50
  it didn't want to in foreign aid. The four billion
• 5:54
  was authorized in Congress on September thirtieth, and they were
• 5:58
  trying to get it spent by that deadline. The village
• 6:02
  of Croton on Hudson in ups what New Yorkers call
• 6:06
  Upstate New York has withdrawn a zoning violation against a
• 6:10
  longtime resident for displaying a flag outside of their house
• 6:14
  saying Trump is my President. And Montana is signed on
• 6:18
  with twenty seven other states in an amikas brief against
• 6:22
  Washington law limiting the sale of firearm magazines that hold
• 6:27
  more than ten rounds. And those are some of our
• 6:30

  Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
• 7:12
  oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 7:17
  to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.

  Speaker 9: You were strolling along in Goodwill when just past that
• 9:05
  mid century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them
• 9:08
  nestled in their display case, miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: Oh yes, yes, your favorite half breakfast pastry, half all
• 9:19
  day dessert food made into your favorite form of ear candy.
• 9:22

• 9:48
  home so much.
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: Good to your community. Goodwill, bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 11: Exercise is hard, so was main hating a healthy diet.
• 10:02
  Of course, neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly,
• 10:07
  type two diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a
• 10:10
  million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths
• 10:14
  are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
• 10:18
  healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about
• 10:23
  your risk for type two diabetes and heart disease, and
• 10:26
  if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The
• 10:31
  reason so many die is because not enough are willing
• 10:34
  to change. You can stop it, starting right now. It's

  Speaker 17: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:55
  first date? Sure?
• 11:57
  Speaker 18: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 9: Probably.
• 12:00

  Speaker 9: Okay, I'll tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 20: Can it ball?
• 12:12
  Speaker 16: Cramp?

  from here?
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Probably?

  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sober.
• 12:32
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm probably okay.

  Speaker 2: And it's time to stop this mad making mornings great again.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: Certain.
• 13:25
  Speaker 12: Mountain need to bring a tamble? Do I can do
• 13:34
  with the spear?
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Don't you feel like you're on a romance? Novel
• 13:42
  covers wearing old spice on a horse with Vlad the Invader.
• 13:52
  I always every time I see that picture of that
• 13:54
  famous picture of Lad the Invader shirtless on the horse,
• 13:57
  I'm like, what did they sell? They sell old spice
• 14:02
  after shave in Russia too, I mean why not? I
• 14:06
  mean product placement is product placement? And four to three
• 14:10
  These are the thoughts that keep me up at night.
• 14:12
  Joe Thomas, here at your service at four three four
• 14:16
  eight eight two four two one seven. Knowing that fancifully,
• 14:21
  I imagine the word morning came from the ancient Greek
• 14:24
  word meaning last minute, because I know how mornings are
• 14:28
  we have your text message line available as well, much easier.
• 14:33
  Just shout something at your voice to text and then
• 14:36
  hit send and we'll get it. And of course tech
• 14:39
  emails come in in written form to JT in the
• 14:44
  Morning Radio at gmail dot com. This text message, Joe,
• 14:50
  how do I enter? What am I entering for? Again, Marie,
• 14:54
  I appreciate the text and a reminder that I probably
• 14:57
  gloss past the Trans Siberian Orches announcement. Again, we have completed.
• 15:04
  And if it sounds like I'm taking great pride in
• 15:08
  saying we have completed, getting a special entered a wind
• 15:12
  page up on the website Joe Thomas in the Morning
• 15:16
  dot com, it's this stuff doesn't happen real easily for me.
• 15:21
  It's sometimes these and I'm not mister Webb savvy guy.
• 15:27
  So I'm in there and I'm trying to create a
• 15:29
  form so you can enter the wind to see my
• 15:32
  Christmas tradition as well in your hometown, whether it's Youngstown,
• 15:37
  Ohio or Colorado Springs. So you gotta go if you
• 15:43
  haven't gone before. But if you go to Joe Thomas
• 15:46
  in the Morning dot com, there's a little link in
• 15:48
  the top bar. It says Trans Siberian Orchestra contest and
• 15:52
  it's just a form and it'll ask you to click
• 15:55
  which show you want to be entered to win to
• 15:57
  go see because there are fourteen shows that are in
• 16:02
  cities served by First Thing Today by Joe Thomas. I
• 16:06
  wish there were more of it. They're not playing Fairbanks.
• 16:09
  But if you're in Fairbanks and you're listening and you
• 16:11
  want to head down to Portland, we do have Portland tickets,
• 16:15
  so you just put down the one you want to travel.
• 16:17
  Expenses are on you. We just got the tickets to
• 16:21
  the shows there. But if you go there, just enter
• 16:24
  its name address, you know, social Security number. Stop No
• 16:29
  I'm kidding, No, no, no, no no. That was teasing. That
• 16:32
  was teasing. That was having some fun at the expense
• 16:34
  of the Internet writ large. But that's how you do it,
• 16:38
  and it's what you do there. So another story we
• 16:41
  haven't spent nearly enough time on. Remember the fake electors
• 16:46
  Donald Trump's attempt to steal the twenty twenty election, right,
• 16:51
  So the fake electors that he had, he had fake
• 16:56
  electors in let's see, it was Michigan and Louisiana, Missouri,
• 17:04
  I believe. But the Michigan case that was the one
• 17:08
  Gretchen Whitmer is fake electors? Well, first off, they're not.
• 17:13
  They were constitutionally permitted. Any presidential campaign is allowed to
• 17:19
  choose electors, even if at the end of election night
• 17:23
  they don't have two hundred and seventy Electoral College votes,
• 17:27
  just in case things change. Why in two thousand al
• 17:33
  Gore had electors chosen for Florida even though it took
• 17:37
  weeks and weeks and weeks of Supreme Court. Were they
• 17:41
  fake electors? And if your longtime user of this program,
• 17:45
  a habitual user of the morning medication, then you've heard
• 17:49
  me say that before. As it was happening in twenty twenty,
• 17:54
  we were saying, hold on a second. Here did John
• 17:57
  Fitzgerald Kennedy's Hawaiian electors where they called fake electors as well.
• 18:05
  I mean, just call a spade a spade, right, Michigan
• 18:11
  judge dismissed all charges, dismissed all charges against the fake electors.
• 18:20
  But even then, even even news organizations like Newsmax and
• 18:29
  perhaps they were just reprinting an Associated Press screed, but
• 18:33
  this is how they were dismissed all charges against Republicans
• 18:37
  who claimed to be presidential electors for Donald Trump in
• 18:41
  twenty twenty, so if you can't even get it out
• 18:46
  of Newsmax. Sometimes their ruling was based that prosecutors failed
• 18:52
  to show that these people intended to defraud anyone. And
• 18:57
  I think this is an enormous part of this. I
• 19:01
  might be pedantic about it, but fake electors certainly sounds
• 19:08
  like con men and shysters to me, doesn't it if
• 19:11
  you've been branded fake electors trying to defraud the American
• 19:18
  people of their democracy, their democratsy why Joe Biden won
• 19:26
  that race fair and square with seven million votes never
• 19:29
  seen before? Seven scenes Since it's like a Tim Laheye novel?
• 19:36
  Where did they all go? Were they taken? Where they
• 19:38
  called home? Twenty was twenty twenty the ear of the tribulation,
• 19:46
  and those seven million souls just vanished because they were
• 19:49
  the righteous ones. The rest of us are here just
• 19:54
  trying to figure out can we fly the plane? Hey?
• 19:58
  We still have? Tim Daily failed to show that these
• 20:06
  people intended to defraud anyone. Fifty four A District Court
• 20:20
  judge Kristen Simmons said from the bench, and I quote,
• 20:26
  this is a fraud case and you have to prove intent.
• 20:32
  I don't believe that there's any evidence sufficient to prove intent.
• 20:41
  Now I'm not a lawyer, but I know a bunch
• 20:43
  of them. The prosecutors alleged the group signed documents falsely
• 20:51
  claiming to be Michigan's duly chosen electors. Apparently there's not
• 20:56
  evidence that they were falsely declaring themselves electors, because, as
• 21:02
  I was told, what they signed was an agreement that
• 21:05
  if the President was to have found to have been
• 21:08
  victorious in Michigan's election, they would then serve as his electors.
• 21:15
  For it entirely different, entirely different than what you were
• 21:21
  told by ninety five percent of the press. And again,
• 21:25
  I feel like we're relitigating these stuff. But it's the
• 21:28
  it's the end of that. Now, what about the malicious prosecution?
• 21:33
  Do you go after? Is it Nessel? Is the the
• 21:37
  attorney general that brought all these charges, Dana and Nessel?
• 21:42
  Do you go after their office? Do you go after
• 21:45
  Gretchen Whitner? Maybe this is why Gretchen Whittner has been
• 21:48
  hanging around with DJT so much, got a cozy up
• 21:52
  because you know, maybe maybe she needs to run as
• 21:55
  a Republican. Maybe she's trying to get her bona fides
• 21:58
  for a cabinet position. Who knows.
• 22:02

• 23:22
  exceptions to the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles
• 23:26
  call for premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason
• 23:29
  for this is not just due to the octane rating.
• 23:31
  There are better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline
• 23:35
  companies know too. The vehicles that run on premium won't
• 23:37
  perform as well with carbon deposits, so they pack more
• 23:40
  cleaning power into their premium fuels than their regular blend.
• 23:43
  If you rotate your fuel choices around say every third
• 23:46
  tank full, you may find better performance and miles per
• 23:49
  gallon because you are cleaning your engine and fuel system
• 23:52
  while you drive. Just don't tell your mechanic you're trying
• 23:54
  to replace them anytime soon with your automotive prescription. I'm

  Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
• 24:08
  Speaker 20: Yes?
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch. And nitric
• 24:14
  oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long

• 28:49
  So these are weird days. I was looking at sports
• 28:51
  and I'm like, I don't know, is the Nationals game?
• 28:54
  You know?
• 28:56
  Speaker 12: What's what's in down for me?
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 28:58
  Speaker 12: It's just like it never left, like ever since in
• 29:00
  nineteen eighty.
• 29:01
  Speaker 27: It's broken down to me and the Monday overreaction, the
• 29:05
  Tuesday pressers, the Wednesday fallout after all the press conferences.
• 29:10
  That's where we lay in today, Patter and I apologize,
• 29:14
  but that's what's going to happen because Wednesday's normally fallout
• 29:16
  day for the first year of the subject one. For
• 29:20
  the first year of EA Sports College football, released in
• 29:22
  twenty twenty four, EA Sports offered players a flat six
• 29:27
  hundred dollars fee and a free copy of the game.
• 29:30
  The college kids received no royalties.
• 29:32
  Speaker 12: Gee, that's too bad. The contract also included.
• 29:34
  Speaker 27: An opt out clause allowing players to pull out of
• 29:37
  the game if they got a better offer from another
• 29:39
  video company. I don't know who that would be, unless
• 29:42
  that Asteroids is coming back for next year's game. EA
• 29:46
  is offering players fifteen hundred and still no royalties as
• 29:49
  they did for twenty twenty five, but notably, EA deleted
• 29:52
  the opt out clause. Now one team the very powerful organization.
• 29:57
  They're the commercial rights holder in arm of eight players
• 30:00
  associations and tens of thousands of college athletes.
• 30:03
  Speaker 12: If you go to the website, it's pretty impressive.
• 30:05
  Speaker 27: But they have a multi year contract with EA, and
• 30:08
  because one team doesn't have a college athlete union to
• 30:13
  work with, the company serves as a lason to connect
• 30:16
  players with EA.
• 30:17
  Speaker 12: But does not negotiate.
• 30:18
  Speaker 27: What I'm saying is so the whole mess of the
• 30:21
  words that I just gave you is the fact that
• 30:24
  they're trying to work out a solid deal for a
• 30:27
  video game. You know now that you just need to
• 30:29
  get involved with something else. Okay, Ryan Day, Now we'll
• 30:33
  get into more serious stuff. Ohio State coach Ryan Day
• 30:36
  said yesterday, as I said tuesday press conferences, you got
• 30:39
  to love them, that he's not a fan of the
• 30:41
  proposal that would bring major changes to the transfer portal windows.
• 30:45
  And this makes totally sense, total, total sense. The NC
• 30:49
  two A announced last week that the FBS Overside Committee
• 30:53
  voted to move the winner transfer portal from December to January,
• 30:57
  shifting to a ten day period that would start on
• 31:00
  January second. Okay, I realize, and they're getting rid of
• 31:03
  the spring window, which I know they want to help coaches.
• 31:06
  But Ryan Day yesterday this press conference made all kinds
• 31:09
  of sense, saying, how do you if you're in the playoff,
• 31:13
  how do you shift things to January?
• 31:15
  Speaker 12: Ohio State coach Ryan Day.
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: For teams that are playing in the playoffs are expected to,
• 31:22
  you know, make the decisions and sign their upcoming players
• 31:25
  while they're still getting ready to play for games. It
• 31:28
  doesn't make any sense to me. I know, the calendar
• 31:30
  is funky, you know. I know that the Big Ten
• 31:32
  and Antony Petiti's been working hard because he doesn't believe
• 31:34
  it either, and neither of the coaches in the Big Ten.
• 31:37
  We've had a lot of long discussions about that and
• 31:39
  try to work through the different windows, but I don't
• 31:42
  agree with it being in January.
• 31:43
  Speaker 27: Yeah, and I'm glad that they're you know, they're they're
• 31:45
  getting rid of the spring window, which makes all kinds
• 31:47
  of sense too, because you can have a player on
• 31:49
  your board, go through spring practice and then.
• 31:52
  Speaker 12: Go, you know what, I think I want to go
• 31:54
  to Bemiji State. So anyway, why.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Don't they just mac Why don't they just do what
• 31:58
  the NFL does. Each month is a different thing, you know,
• 32:01
  each month has got it?
• 32:04
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Joe, because that makes too much sense.
• 32:07
  Speaker 27: You know, we were starting to get to the contract
• 32:10
  phase of all this and paying the player.
• 32:12
  Speaker 12: So anyway, all right.
• 32:14
  Speaker 27: Hulu's new series, Chad Powers, begins with a couple of
• 32:18
  episodes at the end of the month after we go
• 32:20
  through the Ryder Cup. Now Hulu hasn't had a hits
• 32:23
  and since Handman's tail Or, Handmaide's tail Or.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Whatever, Hey, we like only murderers in the building. My
• 32:30
  wife and I are very excited. The season premiere was
• 32:33
  this week and we're gonna watch. Oh, okay, I.
• 32:35
  Speaker 12: Know it's good. It's all right. Well, Glenn Powell who.
• 32:39
  Speaker 27: Produced you know, is produced by who else? Eli and
• 32:42
  Peyton Manning. Remember Eli, he tried out with the Penn
• 32:45
  State team a couple of years ago. As Chad Powers,
• 32:47
  put on the Missus doubt Fire's wig and everything. Well,
• 32:50
  Powell now is the new Matthew McConaughey. He's a Texas fan,
• 32:54
  you know, he's he's just a good looking guy. He
• 32:58
  appeared in Top Gun, Maverick and Well long before he
• 33:01
  was taking Tom Cruise's advice, hanging out with Eli whatever.
• 33:05
  He was exchanging coaching services for free housing. So he
• 33:10
  was coaching Hollywood people's kids in sports and basketball whatever.
• 33:14
  That's when he first moved to bel Air in LA.
• 33:17
  But now he had talked to Peyton and Eli and said,
• 33:20
  you know what, let's let's do it a Chad Powers
• 33:23
  where he's a college football player and it's got all
• 33:27
  this college football field, it's got Reece Davids, it's got
• 33:29
  Kirk Herb Street doing the game and so on, and
• 33:31
  now he wants to play football. He puts on the
• 33:33
  makeup a little taste because the trailer is pretty good.
• 33:38
  There's a reason, Georgia, it's gonna win a tap in
• 33:41
  Tip Brook was holiday.
• 33:43
  Speaker 20: Thinking it's tight for you to move on?
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Is this one problem?
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Dad?
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not done with football.
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: Jam and last name.
• 33:59
  Speaker 21: This isn't just this, This pack Dame Jed, why don't
• 34:01
  you remind the game the viewers where you're from West Virginia.
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: Stay away from backstory and fact choys and what.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Part West Virginia. So if you go west in West
• 34:11
  Virginia's the West is the West system the West of Virginia.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 34:15
  Speaker 27: So now he's he's saying he's from West Virginia. He's
• 34:20
  mocking the people in West Virginia are not going to
• 34:24
  be happy about this at all because he looks like
• 34:26
  a dummy, he talks like a dummy, but yet he's
• 34:29
  a heck up a quarterback. And he goes to take
• 34:31
  his helmet off and the wig comes off, and the
• 34:33
  coach goes, what is this?
• 34:35
  Speaker 12: So it's going to have its moments anyway.
• 34:38
  Speaker 27: September thirtieth, I'm going to probably tune in for a
• 34:40
  couple and see if it gets boring. But uh, you know,
• 34:43
  Glenn Powell was in a ten Days. It was a
• 34:46
  Steve Nash executive produced podcast where Powell Hoop plays Danny Miles.
• 34:50
  He's signed with the seventy six ers. Yes, it was
• 34:54
  a ten day contract. So anyway, Glenn Powell looked for
• 34:57
  it at a at a TV.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Streaming of us near you.
• 35:00
  Speaker 27: Man Lu has it coming up on September thirtieth, so
• 35:03
  it should be pretty good. But yeah, and he even
• 35:06
  refers to missus doubtfire. He's a missus doubtfire sign and
• 35:10
  he goes, you know, I could do that. I could
• 35:11
  be missus doubt fire. But I watched the trailer today.
• 35:15
  I hadn't seen the trailer, but I roared, roared and
• 35:18
  roared at the Eli Manning Chad powers thing with Penn.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Stew if they use this as a vehicle to send
• 35:25
  up the lunacy of name, image likeness, and I think.
• 35:29
  Speaker 12: It's a lot to be said about that.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, then I will give the Mannings perhaps
• 35:34
  an iota of the gravitas they think they deserve. You know,
• 35:39
  whether arch Manning can throw or not, is you know,
• 35:42
  a whole other thing. We do we have any any
• 35:45
  you know, news on arch Manning's painful arm or by
• 35:49
  the way, that's Sarkisian clip. That's Sarkisian clip. I don't
• 35:54
  have video of you guys go into the bathroom, so
• 35:56
  I don't know what kind of faces.
• 35:59
  Speaker 12: That's good.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: That's the clip of the morning I've saved that that's
• 36:02
  as good as some of the stuff Donald Trump said
• 36:04
  in the Oval Office.
• 36:05
  Speaker 27: Yeah, I look for and as you well know, because
• 36:07
  you and I've been together for a number of years,
• 36:09
  you know, I look for the best sound bites I
• 36:11
  can find, and especially now since you are gracious enough
• 36:14
  to give me this segment where we have a little
• 36:17
  time and we're not rushed by you know, two minutes
• 36:20
  and twelve second sound bites we have.
• 36:22
  Speaker 12: This is perfect because we get advanced. And I love
• 36:25
  because that's what I said Tuesday.
• 36:27
  Speaker 27: And I'm not done because now I'm going to go
• 36:29
  through three or four different press conferences. You know, Dabo
• 36:33
  Sweeney now keep sired off some stuff yesterday and he's
• 36:39
  you know, he's using phrases the rat pois. He used
• 36:43
  the phrase rat poison now and the color of Nick Saban.
• 36:45
  I can't wait to see how he used it. But
• 36:49
  people and like Oklahoma, and I forgot to mention this
• 36:53
  last week. You know, Oklahoma is charging fans six hundred dollars.
• 36:58
  I think that's the price to go sit in on
• 37:00
  a press conference.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Yes, you told me.
• 37:03
  Speaker 12: They have it in the football meeting room at Oklahoma.
• 37:05
  We're charging people six hundred dollars.
• 37:07
  Speaker 27: I heard this writer on the talk show yesterday saying, well,
• 37:10
  I looked around. There's some people there. If they're crazy enough,
• 37:13
  they want to see a press conference, which sometimes can
• 37:16
  be the most boring. You know, well, we got a
• 37:18
  left tackle. You know it needs Will Holp and you know, yeah, actually,
• 37:21
  you know they're a good tea.
• 37:22
  Speaker 12: You know, if you want to sit through a Bill Belichick.
• 37:24
  Speaker 27: I don't know if Carolina, if Jordan Hudson now is
• 37:26
  going to get involved in that where she starts signing
• 37:29
  a people to come to a Belichick press conference, but
• 37:31
  you might as well watch two flies fish because.
• 37:33
  Speaker 12: It's going to be ridiculous. Well no, then, but Oklahoma's
• 37:37
  doing it. They're selling them for six hundred bucks.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: You know what if somebody's gonna pay it, But you
• 37:42
  know that's gonna be r You know, now if you
• 37:45
  if you buy your seat license and then you know
• 37:47
  in advance and you get special access and all the
• 37:50
  kind of all the tech game anyway, and world just
• 37:52
  keeps spinning.
• 37:53
  Speaker 12: That's the best part.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: And here we are, we're doing this for Freemac. What
• 37:57
  does that say about you and me?
• 37:59
  Speaker 12: All right?
• 38:01
  Speaker 19: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests looting
• 38:05
  and destruction. Some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
• 38:10
  the police. At a time when America's neighborhoods need the
• 38:13
  protection of police the most, some elected officials would rather create.
• 38:17
  Speaker 28: More chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of elected
• 38:21
  officials caving in to demands of the radical left, you're
• 38:24
  not alone. It's time we stand up and declare our
• 38:28

  That is our phone number. Emails come into JT in
• 44:42
  the Morning Radio at gmail dot com. How you do that? Uh?
• 44:47
  They are a couple of emails here that this one
• 44:52
  I thought was particularly notable about my insistence on covering
• 44:56
  the fake electors story, said Joe. You're the guy that
• 45:00
  would insist on reading the story about the guy whose
• 45:04
  indictment was vacated from page seven of a newspaper, aren't you.
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and maybe I am that guy. Maybe I am
• 45:13
  the guy who the indictment always makes the front page
• 45:17
  and the exoneration always shows up in with the horoscopes
• 45:21
  and the lottery numbers on page twenty one. Oh, it
• 45:24
  was the case against Joe Thomas was dismissed. The purp
• 45:29
  walk always makes use to anyway. Now we don't have
• 45:32
  purp walks anymore, So what's the difference. Unless you're, you know,
• 45:35
  like Roger Stone or General Flynn, then you get a
• 45:40
  purple walk. And it's all Our problem with the justice
• 45:44
  system is that there's no purp walks anymore. So I
• 45:48
  appreciate you pointing that out, Kerrie. And then Mark writes
• 45:53
  in listening to us up on cap Up and Lowell says,
• 46:00
  mister Thomas, I believe your point on our justice system
• 46:05
  is wrong. We need our police to keep us safe.
• 46:09
  And this is what President Trump is doing. He's keeping
• 46:12
  us safe. And the Left is losing their mind because
• 46:16
  they're afraid of the police catching them. What Donald Trump
• 46:21
  is doing and since twenty fifteen, and keeping in mind
• 46:27
  that I grew up in New York City, don't hold
• 46:31
  it against me. I'm not saying that's not a confession
• 46:33
  or anything. But I grew up in New York City,
• 46:35
  and I grew up in the seventies. I grew up
• 46:39
  in a city that looked like the exterior shots of
• 46:43
  The Joker movie, the one you know with de Niro
• 46:50
  in it is the talk show host and everything. If
• 46:53
  you ever, if you go back and watch that, the
• 46:57
  exterior shots of Gotham City from that movie is my childhood.
• 47:02
  That's that's the New York City of my childhood. Piles
• 47:06
  of trash, sanitation workers, strikes, blue flu Guardian Angels, Curtis
• 47:15
  Lee when he was young and could do the kung
• 47:20
  fu stuff to fight crime. This was the world I
• 47:25
  grew up in. And Donald Trump. Donald Trump came along
• 47:28
  in the late seventies and said, I want to build
• 47:31
  this building. It's going to be beautiful, I should we
• 47:34
  should get her and does that great Trump impression. But
• 47:39
  this is what it came on to you. All I
• 47:41
  wanted could because the city of New York wanted nothing
• 47:44
  to do with him. He wasn't one of those guys
• 47:47
  permitted to build in Manhattan. You had people who you know,
• 47:51
  greased the right skids, and you were a Manhattan builder.
• 47:54
  He was a queen's builder. Oh build the garden apartments,
• 47:57
  mister Trump, just like your dad did. He wanted to
• 48:00
  build skyrises, you know, the Trump Tower, and so he
• 48:05
  bought some property and wanted to build on it, and
• 48:07
  the city council was in his way, and he said,
• 48:10
  he said, all I want to do is I want
• 48:11
  to hire about five thousand great, hardworking New Yorkers and
• 48:15
  we're going to build this beautiful building. It's going to
• 48:17
  be the most beautiful. And he won the day in
• 48:20
  the press. He won the press over because at that
• 48:24
  point the press was looking around to be populist, and
• 48:27
  the people were in New York were poor. We were
• 48:30
  just hard on the heels of Ford to New York
• 48:33
  City dropped dead headline which didn't quote funny enough, funny
• 48:39
  enough that that headline in the New York Daily News
• 48:42
  wasn't actually a quote from Gerald Ford. And now Donald
• 48:45
  Trump is a president who keeps getting misquoted in the press.
• 48:50
  But here was a guy wanted to love on New York,
• 48:54
  just like he wants to love on America. And he
• 48:57
  was of the press at the time. They loved him.
• 49:07
  They couldn't get enough of him. And so now he's
• 49:11
  out there he's saying I want to send National Guards
• 49:14
  troops and they're like, oh, he's creating like the green
• 49:17
  zone in bag Dad. No, he's providing support back up
• 49:22
  to the police officers who are understaffed. The story that
• 49:27
  nary got any air out of Washington, DC is that
• 49:30
  there were police officers pulling one hundred hours weeks filling
• 49:36
  out paperwork and doing all the things that are required
• 49:39
  in a justice system, because once you arrest somebody for
• 49:43
  a crime and you've collected the evidence, there's paperwork that
• 49:46
  has to go into that evidence. You can't just throw
• 49:49
  it into a box in the basement. That's like how
• 49:52
  they do it in Chicago. What evidence here on I
• 49:55
  don't recall seeing any evidence of this so called alleged crime.
• 50:04
  So the logistical support of the National Guard has been
• 50:08
  priceless to the DC police, who are the ones out
• 50:11
  there policing and coming soon maybe to show a land
• 50:18
  of the lost, because in the Charlotte case and in
• 50:24
  the Auburn, Alabama case, these are people who were in custody.
• 50:28
  It's Parkland, Florida all over again, people who were known
• 50:32
  to law enforcement and all these habeas corpus junkies who
• 50:38
  forget that first crime has to happen. But to your
• 50:44
  question about keeping the cities safe, one of the problems
• 50:48
  that the left seems to be having is that President
• 50:51
  Trump isn't blockading streets and stopping people from walking downtown
• 50:57
  or anything like that. They'd love that, they'd love a
• 51:00
  where are your papers moment, but that's not again, not
• 51:05
  the reality of what's happening with Donald Trump, like twenty
• 51:08
  seventeen in Charlottesville, our flagship city, not what's actually happening.
• 51:16
  And this version of Donald Trump, not the one that
• 51:20
  was in office from twenty seventeen to twenty twenty one.
• 51:23
  But this one just goes forward, isn't concerned with and
• 51:32
  he's very much like the Donald Trump of my childhood.
• 51:35
  I'm going to do it. I'm going to say what
• 51:36
  I want. If the press wants to hate me for it,
• 51:38
  they can hate me for it. If the press wants
• 51:40
  to love me for it, you know, that's fine too.
• 51:44
  He wasn't going to wait around for them. He took
• 51:46
  his message to the streets. But remember, in the American
• 51:50
  judicial system, crime has to be attempted before it can
• 51:54
  be punished. At very least in most cases, crime actually
• 51:58
  has to be committed. And so you know, having those
• 52:07
  police officers freed up to be there to respond to
• 52:10
  a crime because part of the timing, as we were
• 52:14
  talking earlier about when seconds matter, police are minutes away.
• 52:19
  But one of the important things is is if there
• 52:22
  is enough police to get to the crime scene quickly
• 52:26
  and police it for evidence, there's less chance that that
• 52:30
  evidence gets corrupted or stolen or made vanish anyway. So
• 52:38
  you still want to have all of that available to you.
• 52:44
  Policing is a very important part of it. But you
• 52:46
  can't stop crime until you punish the ones who do
• 52:49
  the crimes. You know, It's true.
• 52:52
  Speaker 18: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
• 52:55
  to think about what matters most when it comes to
• 52:57
  our spending our healthcare. This is why so many people
• 53:00
