"Word Crimes" (Tuesday September 23, 2025, Hour 1) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:02
Speaker 1: So be careful actink Yeah, the same words another hector.
0:06
Speaker 2: The first Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Dunk
0:09
Media Network, All natural and free of artificial intelligence.
0:14
Speaker 3: Jewort said, steal me stem. You have a day at
0:19
least for work.
0:20
Speaker 4: When the sun comes up, drops a kid to scoot
0:22
your knowledge.
0:24
Speaker 5: Joe is ey thing a dander all the treasure seven
0:28
needs no one that Joe's as smile.
0:32
Speaker 6: He on the Eggs pr Joe, here, hold these truths.
0:40
Speaker 3: I want to be Joe, and apologies if you're expecting
0:44
them to be your truths. They're not my truths either.
0:48
They're just the truths four three four eight eight two
0:52
four two one seven. That's how you get with us
0:55
because I will tell you the news, I will tell
0:57
you what I think of the news and my analysis,
0:59
but most importantly, I want to hear how it's impacting
1:02
you where you are. The single most local part of
1:05
any radio station is you. Nobody ever does promos for
1:10
that says we're number one in local listening. We serve you.
1:16
It's what we're here for. Man, That's what Jimmy Kimmel
1:19
is supposed to be here for.
1:20
Speaker 2: Too.
1:22
Speaker 3: Oh words, I'm going to put the mean in the
1:28
word meaning today, we're not going to play fair. We're
1:33
going to play honest. If that turns out to be fair, great.
1:44
Jimmy Kimmel not being on the air because his company
1:47
that he sells his television program to doesn't want him,
1:52
or didn't want him, or was considering not wanting him,
1:56
isn't censorship. It's human resources. It's programming. You don't have
2:04
a right to the American Broadcasting Corporation, and be careful
2:09
if you ask for it. You don't have a right
2:11
to Newsmax. You don't have a right to the talk
2:13
media network. You don't have a right to Joe Thomas
2:16
in the Morning. No, you have a right to speak freely.
2:21
I have a right to speak freely. I don't have
2:23
a right to be listened to. And be careful, Be
2:27
careful because just because sometimes it's somebody you agree with
2:31
doesn't mean it's not going to be weaponized later on
2:33
against you. For example, see reference number one the Patriot Act.
2:44
Words are important, more importantly the meanings of words, and
2:48
sometimes we create sloppy and yeah, I use the word sloppy.
2:52
I'm sorry if it's your feelings those slovenly amongst us. Oh,
2:57
don't say sloppy. I haven't cleaned up my sloppy use
3:06
of words leads to Marxism leads to totalitarianism. Censorship has
3:16
a specific meaning. It doesn't mean your favorite program has
3:19
been taken off the air. When Northern Exposure went away,
3:23
Janine Turner didn't go on network television talking about censorship.
3:31
And I picked Janine because she's a particularly conservative soul
3:34
and her Constituting America Group is amazing. And we can
3:41
get into that if you want to tangentize a little bit.
3:45
And yes, I'm guilty as any norm Crosby devote. Sometimes
3:49
I play with words to make an effect, maybe wink,
3:55
mispronouncify a word just to draw attention to it. Doesn't
4:00
mean I don't know what the meanings are and we're
4:02
using them intentionally, and I don't mean to be pedantic
4:06
about it. But that's what today is going to be
4:07
about quite a bit. Oh, and autism and iduprofri a cidaminifin.
4:13
As I should say, today's words are acidaminifin and censorship.
4:19
Today's program brought to you by the word censorship and
4:22
the number forty two. Our first things this morning I
4:26
heard the music. President Trump has released the results of
4:31
the Department of Health and Human Services look into what
4:34
could be causing thailand all, and they are now urging
4:37
pregnant women to avoid taking thailandol or any form of acidaminifin.
4:43
He insisted taking thailand All is not good. In an
4:46
oval office release, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.
4:50
Kennedy Junior said Monday, the Food and Drug Administration will
4:54
issue physicians notice on the potential dangers of using acid
4:58
of minifin during pregnancy and in the process of adding
5:01
a new safety warning label. They also pointed to a
5:06
decline in the use of folic acid during pregnancy. As
5:10
I mentioned, Jimmy Kimmel's Late Night program will return to
5:14
the American Broadcasting Corporation on Tuesday. However, Sinclair has announced
5:19
that their TV stations will not carry the program. That
5:24
will be a contractual matter they'll have to take up
5:27
with Disney. The Walt Disney Company said in a statement
5:33
Monday about the return that the production was suspended quote
5:36
to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional
5:41
moment in our country. We felt some of the comments
5:45
were ill timed and thus insensitive. President Trump signed an
5:51
executive order Monday designated the group Antifa as a domestic
5:56
terrorist organization. Department of Homeland Security says Immigrations and Customs
6:02
enforcement officers in California will not comply with Governor Gavin
6:06
Newsom's mask ban quote. At a time when ice law
6:11
enforcement faces a one thousand percent increase in assaults on
6:15
their family members being docked and targeted, Governor of California
6:20
signed an unconstitutional legislation that strips law enforcement of protections
6:26
in a disgusting, diabolical fundraising and pr stunt. Secretary Trisha
6:32
mclonklin said an opposed to X, President Trump will sit
6:36
down with a Keem Jefferies and Chuck Schumer today to
6:40
discuss government funding amid a looming shutdown ahead of a
6:44
September thirtieth funding deadline. And we now find out through
6:48
a leak out of the administration that tech giant Oracle
6:52
will be the US company operating the TikTok algorithm in
6:56
the United States.
7:01

Speaker 8: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
8:07
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
8:13
I'm 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
8:51
healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

9:02
Speaker 9: 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
9:51
dot SSA dot gov. Share this information with your friends
9:56
and family.
9:58
Speaker 6: Hi, everybody, I'm Jackhannah. 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 all 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 4: Dogs keep us.
10:35
Speaker 2: Safe at airports.
10:36
Speaker 6: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
10:39
They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
10:42
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

11:00
Speaker 10: Bruh, that's buzzed. Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 11: And now a speech.
11:06
Speaker 9: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
heart and brain.
11:12
Speaker 4: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 10: 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 12: Love that guy, me too.
11:21
Speaker 13: 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 14: 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 when
12:00
you shop for a new appliance, look for the energy
12:03
Star logo and read the energy Guide label. And there
12:06
are day to day things you can do lower your
12:09
thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer, close
12:12
fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep air
12:15
filters clean. For more tips on saving money by reducing

your energy waste, check out FTC dot gov slash green,

12:29
Speaker 1: 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
12:48
at makethconnection dot net and learn how you can support
12:52
the veterans.
12:53
Speaker 15: In your life.
12:54
Speaker 1: Treatment works, recovery is possible.
13:10
Speaker 2: About hundred to do list. Putting the radio on is
13:15
the first thing today?
13:19
Speaker 16: Hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hie ye.
13:22
Speaker 9: Hi hi hi Bye bye bye bye bye good bye
13:24
bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye.
13:26
Speaker 17: Hi.
13:27
Speaker 3: Well that's awkward. I have no idea what that is. Yeah,
13:35
just get rid of that, please, whatever that was, make
13:39
it go away. No, no, no, no, don't take them.
13:42
What do you mean you have to take the computer
13:44
and make it go away. Oh goodie, it's another high
13:47
Tech Tuesday for your first Thing today by Joe Thomas.
13:51
In any event, so we're going to put the mean
13:53
in meaning today because this whole mania over Jimmy Kimmel
14:11
is becoming ludicrous. And I don't mean the rapper, and
14:17
I don't mean a state farmand or whoever insurance company
14:20
Ludacrous is hawking for these days, Jimmy Kimmel being canceled
14:33
by his network is not censorship. And you know what
14:36
I find the most infuriating in my heart, and I'm
14:42
doing everything I can to use sarcasm and satire to
14:48
point out my fury, to control it, to temper it
14:53
is that the very same people like Kamala Harris It
15:00
enacted their environmental Social governance schemes to force companies to
15:12
violate the very tenants of fiscal responsibility and governance to
15:25
their investors, to those who lend them money. By being
15:31
told that you can lose every sense somebody gives you
15:35
and claim that you were successful, you hadn't violated anyone's
15:40
trust because, according to the Environmental Social Governance rules, I
15:47
made a profit even if I lost money, because we
15:50
did good things and when your investor says, what good things, Well,
15:56
these are the things defined as good by the administration
16:00
giving money to baby harpseeal management firms and wind turbine companies,
16:06
both of which are about as effective when it comes
16:08
to me. Here is the late great Kamala Harris on
16:13
Rachel Maddow calling President Trump a tyrant because Jimmy Kimmel
16:20
was in peril of losing his television program. And I
16:24
remember this is the same woman whose administration gave us
16:29
the ESG laws.
16:35
Speaker 18: For our democracy for the importance of sustaining democratic institutions.
16:42
Speaker 3: There's at least she is honest about it being about
16:45
democrat institutions. She should have said democratic party institutions, the
16:50
institutions that have been taken over by our party. But
16:53
I digress, Madame Vice.
16:56
Speaker 4: President, those titans of industry.
17:00
Speaker 18: Would be guardrails for our democracy for the importance of
17:06
sustaining democratic institutions.
17:10
Speaker 3: And understand a little bit for those who might be
17:12
considering her for twenty twenty eight, this is, first off,
17:17
who's at Julia Louis Dreyfuss, without intention had been doing
17:22
this amazing Kamal Harris impression as a vacuous knitwit all
17:27
of a sudden elevated into the role of vice president.
17:30
And I'm sorry, I mean she has the wits of
17:36
a knit I'm trying to be very specific with the
17:41
words I choose. Oh, certainly she has degrees, and she has,
17:46
but she is literally a vacuous vessel for policy handed
17:53
to her and memorized and recited on que This is why,
17:57
after she's had a few cocktails, she can reach be
18:00
fun to listen to. But notice what this front runner
18:10
of the Democratic brand says about business. These are the
18:14
same people that believe businesses start to create jobs because
18:20
for a politician, that's all they care about. Oh, a
18:23
new business is coming to town and they're going to
18:25
create five jobs. That's not why the business is there.
18:28
The business is theirs because some need supposedly unless they're
18:34
getting an enormous government kickback.
18:37
Speaker 11: And one by one by one, they have been silent.
18:45
They have been you know, yes, I use the word feckless.
18:50
Speaker 3: Just like they were when they were told you can
18:53
lose money now as long as you invest in things
18:57
like offshore wind turbine projects. Your electric utility is perhaps
19:04
one of the worst criminals in this misrepresentation because not
19:10
only does it impact the investors in their company, but
19:13
it impacts you, the rate payers, because long before they
19:16
turn to their investors and say, yeah, we lost all
19:19
the money, but ESG, they'll tell the rate payers that A.
19:25
You need to pay more and b you can't use
19:27
your electricity anymore either except in the hours we tell
19:31
you it's okay. Feckless kamala is new word today, feckless.
19:46
So part of my frustration in this old Jimmy Kimmel brewhaha,
19:50
is that these are the same people that are out
19:54
there vacating their lower intestines into their pants over companies
20:01
supposedly allegedly being cowed by the administration to run their
20:09
companies in a way that might be counterproductive to their investors, employees,
20:15
and customers. And they were the same people who insisted
20:20
that these companies do that under the banner of environmental
20:24
social governance. But if the talk media network this afternoon
20:35
called me and said we're not carrying your morning program anymore,
20:39
that's not censorship. I would appreciate it if you were
20:43
upset about it. And I feel like even the new
20:47
folks who have come to the program have a certain
20:50
appreciation for what we do because.
20:53
Speaker 2: I don't care.
20:54
Speaker 3: I don't care about corporations, I don't care about businesses.
20:58
I care about the businesses that give us money to
21:02
run their commercials because I want to put them in
21:04
a good light and have as many people listening as possible. So,
21:08
in my mind, the way to get the most people
21:10
listening is to tell them the truth. People like the truth.
21:16
I know it hasn't been popular for a long time
21:19
in many of the circles, but if you get down
21:22
onto main street, people generally like the truth. It's a
21:26
good business model. It's not really a publicity stunt to
21:31
tell the truth, although I think some people think it is.
21:37
It's not censorship. It's a business deciding whether it does
21:41
or doesn't want a particular product on its shelf. My
21:46
wife has this happen all the time at Trader Joe's.
21:49
Her favorite products almost immediately get discontinued. That's not censorship,
21:57
that's just making a business choice.
22:01
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm Brandt and her name is Shary.
22:03
Speaker 7: I love.
22:04
Speaker 17: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
22:06
for because of a surgery. She just went through.
22:09
Speaker 19: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
22:11
talk about all the time, which.
22:13
Speaker 2: Is meta share.
22:14
Speaker 4: That is right.
22:14
Speaker 17: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
22:17
and healthcare ability?
22:18
Speaker 19: Honestly, brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
22:21
you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
22:24
members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
22:27
me tell you, having people pray with you when you
22:30
call in with your need that.
22:32
Speaker 17: Is just refreshing.
22:34
Speaker 7: Yes, that's what it is.
22:35
Speaker 17: What I keep telling people. People love meta share and
22:38
they love saving money. The typical family can save five
22:41
hundred dollars a month.
22:42
Speaker 19: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
22:46
and I mean different in a very very good way.
22:48
Speaker 17: It is good different.
22:49
Speaker 2: Call now.
22:50
Speaker 17: They're easy to talk to and you can get a
22:51
price within two minutes. Call eight five five share forty.
22:55
That's eight five five s h a r E forty
22:58
eight five five share.
23:01
Speaker 7: Hi.
23:01
Speaker 20: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
23:06
Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
23:11
better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
23:15
up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
23:20
veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
23:25
personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
23:30
and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
23:34
on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
23:40
a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
23:44
AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
23:47
your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
23:53
center of our profession. For more information on AI and
23:56

25:58
the woots.
26:00
Speaker 4: And now a speech.
26:02
Speaker 20: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
26:06
art and brain.
26:07
Speaker 4: Who's with me?
26:08
Speaker 10: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed and my
26:11
brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody.
26:14
Speaker 2: Call me a ride.
26:15
Speaker 4: Love that guy, me too.
26:16
Speaker 13: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
26:19
it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
26:23
Speaker 14: Did you know that more than half our household energy
26:26
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
26:30
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
26:34
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
26:36
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
26:40
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
26:44
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
26:47
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
26:50
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
26:54
when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
26:57
energy star logo and read the energy guide later. And
27:01
there are day to day things you can do. Lower
27:03
your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
27:06
close fireplace stampers when they're not in use, and keep
27:09
air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by

Speaker 2: Lucky.

27:45
I'll be his no time, fort tired, nothing can disable
27:49

28:18
Speaker 8: I think I can sum up the show for you
28:20
with one word nothing nothing Nothing.
28:29
Speaker 2: What does that mean?
28:30
Speaker 20: The show is about.
28:33
Speaker 3: Nothing and that's what life is. It probably should have
28:40
been a warning colax into us that one of the
28:42
most wildly popular television show started for remarkably vacuous characters,
28:50
and it's decline in the ratings started when the one
28:55
person that seemed to grasp how vacuous his friends were.
28:59
It was red and to become just as vacuous as
29:02
they were, Is it any wonder somebody like Kamala Harris
29:08
winds up being vice president within a few million votes.
29:12
Thank god for a few million votes of being president.
29:23
The idea of content always bothered me. And like I said,
29:30
this is Pedantics Tuesday. We're going to be tough on
29:34
words because people are being very sloppy with words, words
29:37
like censorship and free speech. And there's a text message
29:45
that came in during the news break at the bottom
29:47
of the hour from Loreen, who listens to us on
29:52
k ET in San Bernardino. She says, I hope they
29:56
don't take you off and then Korea then and the
30:01
Louise Louise and Stanton said, you'd still do your local show,
30:05
wouldn't you? Well, yeah I would. I'd still do my
30:07
local show. One of the reasons I bought a radio
30:10
station was so I can't get fired. I hope. I mean,
30:13
technically my wife is fifty one percent owner. I imagine
30:18
I'd have bigger problems if my wife decided to fire me,
30:22
but my flagship station, I'd still get up every morning
30:25
and do a radio program still serve my listeners wherever
30:29
they might be. But my point about the talk media network,
30:34
Jimmy Kimmel can stand in his basement and do jokes
30:38
till you know, Norm McDonald's ghost comes down and tears
30:42
him down the stairway. Norm McDonald, by the way, proved
30:48
that his last comedy special was shot in the stairway
30:52
of his house with like blankets hanging around him. It
30:55
was brilliant. So this gnashing of teeth over the censorship
31:08
of Jimmy Kimmel is has It's so prevalent right now
31:14
that I have to spend this morning spring protest, retardant
31:22
foam all over it because they've got people say, oh,
31:25
it's raised me. I've got good servers, Ted Cruz and
31:29
people like that. Ted, take five minutes and call Brandon
31:33
Carr and say what did you actually say? Because Brandon
31:36
Carr's comments were, as it was reported, mostly reported of
31:41
the reporter's question over ABC and Jimmy Kimmel and Sinclair
31:46
Broadcasting and oh my gosh. You know, the most unhappy
31:57
person in all of this is Howard Stern, because he
31:59
orchestrated a two month long publicity stunt to get you
32:03
tuning back into his god awful whiney cry baby radio show.
32:07
Says whiney cry baby in the morning, old Jewish man
32:14
yelling get off my lawn to anyone who might disagree
32:19
with him. But the only person left to get on
32:22
Howard Stearn's program is Rob Reiner. I don't know if
32:24
you saw the interchange between Bill Maher and Rob Reiner.
32:28
Rob Reiner is like, you can't have a conversation with
32:31
somebody unless you agree on the facts first. So Rob
32:34
Reiner apparently has a And it's a shame because I
32:37
was really looking forward to seeing how bad potentially the
32:42
spinal tap reboot is, and I probably will anyway, because
32:49
despite Rob Reiner, I enjoyed the first one. But they're
33:03
debating whether you can debate with somebody you disagree with,
33:07
and they were arguing it over the murder of the
33:10
one person who was actually publicly celebratingly doing that, handing
33:18
his microphone to people who disagreed with him. On the
33:22
life of a baby, the importance of family, the science
33:28
of gender, you name it, need to Charlie Kirk would say, here,
33:32
take this microphone. Talk for five minutes. And there were
33:36
people who during the time before he was assassinated who
33:40
didn't like it because they said he's giving gravity to
33:44
these ideas. Ignoring the fact that people have insane ideas
33:52
only promotes the insane idea, and the people with insane ideas,
34:00
I want you to ignore them so that they can
34:03
go around and collect supporters for their insane ideas. It's
34:09
not censorship. It's not a violation of the First Amendment.
34:17
I read the First Amendment? Do I need to do
34:20
it again? I mean, at some point, I'd like to
34:26
think we know what the First Amendment says, and there's
34:33
nothing in there about the Jimmy Kimmel Show or ABC.
34:43
But it's okay. I mean, you know, perhaps we need
34:46
to re enter the First Amendment into the public dialogue
34:50
since everyone in the news media is out there flogging
34:52
away about it's censorship and it's a violation of the
34:55
First Amendment. So your honors, may I please the Court
34:59
by entering into evidence people's Exhibit one A. The First
35:04
Amendment of the US Constitution. Congress shall make no law
35:11
respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,
35:17
or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press
35:20
or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble
35:23
and petition the government for a redress of grievances. Has
35:29
any I now ask the Court for your judgment. Has
35:34
any of that happened? Have any of those things happened?
35:43
And just for the sake of jurisprudence, I will remind
35:48
the court that in seventeen eighty nine the phrase of
35:51
the press meant of the printing press, as in to publish.
36:00
So you're a freedom of speech or the freedom to
36:03
publish or the right to gather shall not be abridged.
36:11
Did the government do that? And for those who all
36:15
of a sudden seem to think that Disney is a
36:22
hand puppet of Donald Trump, really, I mean, that's just
36:33
boggling my mind to think that this much of the
36:37
population can think that Disney, the Walt Disney Corporation, the
36:46
House of Mouse, is bending the need of Donald Trump.
36:54
Hang on, Ron DeSantis's online too, would like to have
36:56
a word with you about your perspectives. Don't buy this stuff,
37:04
and they're counting on you being too busy to delve
37:08
into it. That's why I'm trying to do it for
37:10
you here at four three, four eight eight two four,
37:13
two one seven, so that you can get on your
37:17
day and that you can be relatively immune to this machination,
37:34
because it's a dangerous machination. It's going to drive us
37:39
down authoritarianism. These are the same people who when Barack
37:44
Obama said, well, certainly allow licensed journalists to protect their sources.
37:52
But if you're not a licensed journalist, that's why I
37:54
think we should have a government license for journalists and
37:57
then we'll certainly protect your sources then, but not unlicensed one.

38:05
I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
38:08
penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately,
38:13
for most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case.
38:16
Why because most people spend more time planning next weekends
38:20
getaway than trying to ensure they're going to pay less
38:23
than taxes. My Financial Fitness team has put together some
38:26
materials that I know are going to help you. It's
38:28
the Tax Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit includes three things,

Of course, neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly,
41:07
type two diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a
41:10
million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths
41:14
are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
41:18
healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about
41:23
your risk for type two diabetes and heart disease, and
41:26
if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication. Listen. The
41:31
reason so many die is because not enough are willing
41:34
to change. You can stop it, starting right now. It's

Speaker 17: Akatas loving you?
44:28
Speaker 2: You actually.
44:36
Speaker 5: And it's not that everything's one hundred percent understood or known.
44:40
But I think we've made a lot of strides.
44:44
Speaker 2: I wish it was not a long time ago.
44:47
Speaker 5: Today, we're delighted to be joined by America's top medical
44:51
and public health professionals as we announced historic steps to
44:54
confront the crisis of autism. Horrible, horrible crisis.
45:01
Speaker 3: And so the President, along with doctor Oz and RFK
45:04
Junior at his side, made the announcement that was sort
45:08
of leaked by r FK Junior at the cabinet meeting
45:12
before that.
45:13
Speaker 16: Is the.
45:16
Speaker 3: Cocktail of things that are leading our children down this
45:22
path into contracting autism. And this seems like, you know, okay,
45:31
so we're not doing the Jimmy Kimmel stuff anymore, Joe.
45:35
But there's an ism in all of this is this
45:42
is combating scientism. As with Jimmy Kimmel, we were combating linguitism. Linguistism.
45:52
These isms are going to kill us. These legal adjacent
46:03
discussions of censorship or these science adjacent conversations about big business.
46:10
And you can't say, Tylan all is bad for babies.
46:14
Think of all the jobs it will cost. And we've
46:21
talked about scientism on this this is when you begin
46:28
with the answer. That's scientism. Doctor Robert Malone told us
46:32
all about this when it comes to his mRNA research
46:37
and how it got pirated by the government officials and CDC.
46:44
Scientism is defined as starting with the answer and then
46:49
coming up with equations that equal the answer, just like
47:00
political scientism starts with I want everyone to push to
47:08
get Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. So what's the equation.
47:11
We can use censorship, not censorship, but we're going to
47:16
use censorship because it seems censorship. Like back to the
47:24
President and his announcement yesterday, I.
47:27
Speaker 5: Want to thank the man who brought this issue to
47:31
the forefront of American politics along with me, and we
47:36
actually met in my office. Is it like twenty years ago, Bobby,
47:41
it's probably twenty years ago in New York. I was
47:43
a developer, as you probably heard, and I always had
47:46
very strong feelings about autism and how it happened and
47:49
where it came from. And he and I, I don't know,
47:54
the word got out, and I wouldn't say that people
47:58
were very understanding of where we were were. But it's
48:00
turning out that we understood a lot more than a
48:03
lot of people who studied it. We think, and I
48:08
say we think because I don't think they were really
48:10
letting the public know.
48:11
Speaker 16: What they knew.
48:13
Speaker 5: Thanks as well to the Director of the National Institute
48:16
of Health, doctor j Badacaria, FDA Commissioner doctor Martin mccairy.
48:21
Speaker 2: These are great people.
48:23
Speaker 5: Administrator of the Centers for Medicine and Medicaid Services, doctor Memodaz,
48:29
and Acting Assistant Secretary of HHS, doctor Dorothy Think.
48:34
Speaker 2: So, thank you all. Thank you Dorothy very much.
48:37
Speaker 5: The meteoric rise in autism is among the most alarming
48:41
public health developments in history.
48:44
Speaker 2: There's never been anything like this.
48:47
Speaker 5: Just a few decades ago, one in ten thousand children
48:50
had autism.
48:51
Speaker 2: So that's not a long time.
48:53
Speaker 5: And I've always heard, you know, they say a few,
48:56
but I think it's a lot.
48:58
Speaker 2: Less time than that.
49:00
Speaker 5: It used to be one in twenty thousand, then one
49:03
in ten thousand, and I would say that's probably eighteen
49:07
years ago, and now it's one in thirty one. But
49:13
in some areas it's much worse than that, if you
49:15
can believe it. One in thirty one, and I gave
49:19
numbers yesterday for boys, it's one in twelve. I was
49:22
told that's in California where they have a for some reason,
49:26
a more severe problem.
49:28
Speaker 3: And there's a bunch of different factors to this, and certainly,
49:31
and the reason this resonates is twenty five years ago
49:37
first became aware that kids were becoming aware and it's truth.
49:44
Great fellow Doug Smith up in Buffalo, New York, I
49:47
met his son, his wife testified before Congress about what
49:51
was happening getting these super doses of vaccines all at once,
49:56
where we as kids would get you know, all right,
49:59
this time for measles, shot whatever, and then come back
50:02
next week for a different one. And one of the
50:07
things I was told by multiple physicians at the time
50:12
when I, as a broadcaster, said hey, what's going on here?
50:16
You know no other agenda. I was doing music radio
50:22
for heaven's sake, but it seemed like an issue, and
50:27
a lot of my listeners thought it was an issue.
50:29
So in between Matchbox twenty and Britney Spears songs, we
50:33
would drop in some conversations with some doctors, and to
50:39
a man, they all said that if there is a
50:42
correlation between vaccines and autism, it's because of the weakened
50:48
immune system of some of the babies, and I thought
50:52
that was a little bit victim shaming, like it's your
50:55
baby's fault. But statistically was born out and we can
51:02
spend a lot more time on this because as much
51:04
as the Jimmy Kimmel's stuff has got most of the headlines,
51:08
this is a big deal. From where I said, and
51:13
at my peril, you you may decide otherwise.
51:16
Speaker 2: I want to hear more about Jimmy kill Joe.
51:19
Speaker 3: I'm turning out and finding somebody who's got some yucks
51:21
about Jimmy Kimmel and the Man Show and some embarrassing
51:25
videos of him in underpants or something, and that's okay.
51:30
We can do that as well. At four three four
51:33
eight eight two four two one seven. But at the
51:35
time nineteen ninety nine, two thousand, it seemed like they
51:42
were making some excuse that some babies had weaker immune
51:47
systems so that when they were hit with this mega
51:51
dose of vaccines they would have this horrific adverse reaction
51:56
in their brains. But I stuck a pin in that
52:04
and kept it on a bulletin board in my head.
52:06
And as Robert F. Kennedy Junior said this last month,
52:09
I told you this. I said, now it's starting to
52:12
see I'm seeing this this correlation that they didn't apparently
52:20
want to go into before, because I did ask to
52:22
in nineteen ninety nine two thousand. I said, so, what's
52:25
making these kids immunes?
52:28
Speaker 4: It?
52:28
Speaker 3: Well, it's just genetics, Joe. And the reason I dropped
52:32
it is because these were eugenesis. These were the people
52:35
who said that, well, it's just because we have too
52:38
many people on the planet and our gene pool is
52:41
getting diluted. And they started to scare me with some
52:45
of the stuff that they were talking about, and so
52:48
I dropped the issue to not give them a platform.
52:51
Speaker 16: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
52:55
turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
52:57
Speaker 3: It was meticet that came through for us.
53:00
Speaker 2: There's no hassles, there was no problem.
53:02
Speaker 16: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
53:05
of such an incredible ministry.
53:07
Speaker 15: Meta Share is a biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
53:11
share each other's medical expenses.
53:13
Speaker 13: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
53:17
with you through the hardest times of your life.
53:20
Speaker 15: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years old,
53:25
and members have shared over eight billion dollars of each
53:27
other's medical bills.
53:28
Speaker 7: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
53:31
Speaker 4: You can focus on on supporting other people.
53:33
Speaker 15: Meda Share is affordable, Medishare is biblical.
53:36
Speaker 12: Medishare is family.
53:37
Speaker 15: Join thousands of Christians who can help you save on
53:40
your healthcare and support your family when you need it.
