"(Not So) Sweet Home, Chicago" (Saturday September 20, 2025, Hour 3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:02
Speaker 1: We'll do it mornings. Great again, we'll do the first
0:05
thing today the tunk media. All right, Joe Thomas, we'll
0:09
do it. Line jewort said, steal me have a day.
0:14
Speaker 2: But you also had people these for work.
0:16
Speaker 3: When the sun comes up drops a peeto school that were.
0:23
Speaker 4: All the je.
0:26
Speaker 2: No one that Joe's as smile.
0:28
Speaker 5: He only very five people on both side.
0:33
Speaker 2: Joe here hold these truths. Even on a Saturday morning.
0:40
We'll break down the news for you. We'll chop it
0:42
up into easily digestible gummies, and then really want to
0:47
find out how it's impacting you. Where you are this
0:51
morning at four three four eight eight two four two
0:55
one seven. That's the phone number. You can text message
0:58
to it, or you can call in and kind an
1:02
email that throws back to the old home. You can
1:05
make a request if you want, if you feel like
1:07
that reminds you of the last time. And I didn't
1:11
believe it. There was a dear friend. I was become
1:13
a dear friend. If we were at a Randy Jackson
1:16
shows doing an acoustics show and my wife and I
1:19
were there, it was by Lake ron Konkoma, and somebody
1:25
behind us said, is that JT from RCN twenty years.
1:31
I don't think I sound that unusual. But who am
1:34
I to judge? Oh yeah, that's right. That's what you've
1:38
hired me to do, is sit here and judge what's
1:41
going on. We can reconvene on the president and whether
1:47
or not he's going to send the FCC out to
1:50
round up all the people who disagree with him on
1:53
free speech or not. And of course, within this there's
1:55
the story of the US attorney from the Western District
1:58
of Virginia who has resigned. Hasn't said anything about it.
2:04
It's the second used attorney from Virginia to resign, and
2:10
the press is saying it's over stuff Donald Trump told
2:14
him to do that he didn't do. Now. I don't
2:16
know the whole story, but I do know that there
2:19
are lawyers who don't like taking other lawyers to court.
2:25
And this is over the Letitia James prosecutions and whether
2:29
or not she defrauded the bank. And it is a
2:34
charge that is specifically and ironically not something she's contested,
2:42
whether she did it or not. But I think the
2:45
irony of the Letitia James case is that this is
2:48
exactly what she claimed. Donald Trump did as well. Now,
2:51
whether this US attorney from what eastern District of Virginia
2:58
is one of those folks who just doesn't like prosecuting
3:00
other attorneys and that's why the President wanted them. Actually,
3:04
from the press conference yesterday, I said, I want I
3:07
want the guy gone. Is he sending the Justice Department?
3:11
That's what the press is saying. And this is where
3:15
sometimes it becomes frustrating, because the President says things, and
3:19
then the press and because they might be as doctor
3:22
Clark and I were talking about earlier, sometimes just spitballing
3:28
that kind of thing. And again based on the question
3:32
allowing the left to go out and make their own narrative.
3:35
But I want to get this story out into your
3:38
craw for a moment. This is the mayor of Chicago,
3:44
pretty big city, fifty four shootings on just Labor Day weekend,
3:49
talking about law enforcement.
3:52
Speaker 6: The fact of the matter is we are driving bidence
3:54
down on this city and we're using every single resource
3:57
that's available to US jails and in nusration and law
4:01
enforcement is a sickness that has not led to safe communities.
4:07
Speaker 2: We're going to do the first things here. In a second,
4:10
I just want that statement to rattle around in your
4:12
bean for a little while. That the mayor of Chicago
4:16
said that law enforcement is a sickness. And that's not
4:25
somebody who wants to be mayor of Chicago. That is
4:28
the Mayor of Chicago. First things this morning. The stories
4:33
they don't want you talking about because they wouldn't have
4:35
done them on a Friday afternoon, and they didn't realize
4:39
that you and I were going to be here talking
4:41
about it. Harris County, Texas chapter of Moms for Liberty
4:47
has brought a case and brought outed the left wing
4:52
group be the Change tied to the Spring Branch Independent
4:56
School District who publish private social media addresses and accounts
5:01
of students high school students in Stratford High School so
5:06
that their community would assault them online fill their inboxes
5:12
with messages to get them to stop forming a Turning
5:16
Point USA club at the Spring Branch Independent School District's
5:22
Stratford High School. Moms for Liberty said on a post
5:26
of acts, these are kids. It's reprehensible when asked about
5:34
why the media seems to go help bent to characterize
5:39
Donald Trump as a fascist or a Nazi or some way,
5:43
shape or form going to clamp down on the Bill
5:45
of Rights, it's because it works. The share of Republicans
5:49
who have been polled by the Associated Press NORK Center
5:53
for Public Affairs that say the country is headed in
5:55
the right direction is just about fifty two two percent
6:00
in the latest survey, down from seventy percent. In June,
6:06
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior's Vaccine Advisory Board announced
6:10
that they would not be issuing recommendations for or against
6:14
COVID nineteen vaccinations until this fall, instead of leaving the
6:19
decisions up to individuals to choose whether they wanted the
6:25
clot JOT or not. AHHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior
6:29
meanwhile was dealing with a bomb threat that had been
6:32
called in to his house. Federal Judge Friday bloc President
6:37
Trump's administration from disfavoring, in other words, taking money away
6:42
from arts organizations promoting gender ideology. The Judge Will Smith
6:48
in Providence, Rhode Island, said it was a violation of
6:51
free speech protections under the Bill of Rights. Those are

Speaker 10: 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
8:45
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:50
healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

Speaker 11: 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 Social 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
9:41
transfers of prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our
9:46
law enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at
9:50
OIG dot SSA dot gov. Share this information with your
9:55
friends and family.
9:58
Speaker 12: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah and it's always a boy.
10:01
Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
10:03
with animals.
10:04
Speaker 1: I'm not only in awe of.
10:05
Speaker 12: Their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
10:08
Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
10:11
or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
10:14
or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
10:17
secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
10:20
jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
10:22
in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
10:25
by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
10:28
wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
10:32
they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
10:35
us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
10:37
whom suffer from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
10:41
when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
10:43
have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to
10:46
society and help those in need. So please join me
10:49
an American Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and
10:52
all the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together.

11:00
Speaker 13: That's buzzed.
11:01
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 5: And now a speech.
11:06
Speaker 14: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
heart and brain.
11:11
Speaker 2: Who's with me?
11:12
Speaker 13: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
11:15
brain is saying when it's time to go home. Somebody
11:18
call me a ride.
11:19
Speaker 15: Love that guy, me too, know your buzzed warning signs,
11:22
call for a ride when it's time to go home.
11:24
Speaker 1: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:26
Speaker 7: Who did you know that more than half our household
11:31
energy costs go.
11:32
Speaker 2: To heating and cooling.
11:34
Speaker 7: Energy efficiency isn't just good for the environment, It means
11:37
lower utility bills too. One way to reduce your energy
11:41
waste is a home energy assessment. Your utility company can help,
11:45
or you can learn how to do it yourself at
11:47
energysavers dot gov. That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to
11:52
look for air leaks around windows and doors, check ducks
11:55
for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time to cut
11:59
energy costs is in your shop for a new appliance.
12:02
Look for the energy Star logo and read the energy
12:04
guide label. And there are day to day things you
12:07
can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
12:11
in the summer, close fireplay stampers when they're not in use,
12:14
and keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
12:18
money by reducing your energy waste, check out FTC dot

Speaker 16: 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
but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
12:48

12:52
the veterans.
12:53
Speaker 12: In your life.
12:54
Speaker 16: Treatment works, recovery is possible.
13:12
Speaker 1: For you. From Joe Thomas, It's first thing today.
13:25
Speaker 2: I don't know where you found this graphic, but it's there.
13:27
Fun AI is fun. Sometimes somebody has found or has
13:39
got the chat GPT or Chuck GPT something to generate
13:44
the front of what And I didn't realize there was
13:46
a stereotype for strip clubs. But the window has neon.
13:51
It says live news radio in the same way it
13:54
would say live nude, et cetera, et cetera. Four three,
13:58
four eight eight two four two one seven. This email,
14:01
Hey Joe, you're coming out to Long Island to broadcast
14:04
from the Ryder Cup. I hadn't thought about it. Weill
14:07
be on Long Island coming up in December for the
14:12
Trans Siberian Orchestra concert in Belmont. My family tradition, we
14:19
always go every year. That's how we get into Christmas spirit.
14:22
And it actually gives me an opportunity to do a
14:25
shameless self promotion. We are, thanks to our friendship with
14:28
the Trans Siberian Orchestra, able to give away some tickets
14:33
to a selection of these shows shows where first thing today,
14:39
the weekday edition and the weekend edition coincide with the
14:43
Trans Siberian Orchestra tour. So whether you live on Long
14:47
Island and want to go to the Belmont show, no,
14:51
And we thought about it because they're doing the casino
14:54
in Connecticut too, And I know there's the high speed
14:56
ferry from Port Jeff and you can get out there.
15:00
There was at Orient. Where do they do the high
15:02
speed ferry from Orient or Port Jeff. But there's a
15:06
high speed ferry to get you to Connecticut and up
15:08
to the casinos to separate you from your take home pay.
15:12
And that's all well and good, But you always said
15:15
bell monsells straightforward. I'm not sure it could be a
15:18
horse race as to which is easier to get to
15:20
along the l Ie or the Clearview Expressway and cross Bronx. However,
15:25
you're getting to Belmont Racetrack. But the IBS arena there, Yeah, Ubs, sorry,
15:34
arena there. You know, why would you name an arena
15:38
after irritable bell syndrome unless you're a long suffering Islander fan.
15:43
But wherever it may be, you enter at Joe Thomas
15:48
in the morning dot com, pick the place you live
15:52
nearest to one of their shows and we'll start doing drawings.
15:54
The tour begins on November sixteenth, I'm saying off the
16:00
top of my head, and tickets have been on sale,
16:03
but you get him through Live ma Nation or go
16:05
to trans Dash Siberian dot com and please please no
16:12
more transphobic emails about this. That's enough. But no, we're
16:16
probably not going to come out and broadcast from the
16:18
Ryder Cup. Although my brother in law has been known
16:21
to be that guy, one of those guys that spends
16:24
the night just to play back. But actually my brother
16:26
in law has for years. We should we should find
16:29
out if my brother in law is actually going to
16:30
be a marshal. Sometimes he has the time to be
16:33
a marshal for these events at Bethpage Black, but not
16:39
sure if he is or isn't Their free speech, Janis
16:45
writes in two four, three, four eight eight, two four
16:48
to two one seven. How does this judge in Rhode
16:52
Island think that cutting funding for something is a violation
16:58
of free speech? Well, because that's the narrative that they've
17:02
created they see. This is why I call it gas lighting,
17:07
is that over time they have worn down our defense
17:12
mechanism from thinking that getting government money to subsidize something
17:18
is making it free. And when I point out that
17:23
the Marxist in America will campaign for freedom the same
17:30
way a conservative will, only for different things. See, they
17:34
on the left want you to be free from things
17:38
they want you to be free from student costs. They
17:42
want you to be free from rent, free from grocery bills,
17:47
free from cell phone bills. They want to free you
17:52
from those chains, those shackles. Well, a conservative obviously wants
18:02
you to be free to achieve the things your gifts
18:05
and talents would want you to do. But over time,
18:10
even judges like this one, and I don't know how
18:15
cunning the linguist was for the arts organizations, their lawyer
18:19
probably made a pretty good case that without the federal funding,
18:23
these art programs couldn't go on anymore. Therefore, you would
18:27
be silencing speech by taking away other people's money that
18:31
had never been asked whether they wanted to give the
18:33
money to that organization or not. It's the same argument
18:37
that they use for taxpayer money going to plan in parenthood.
18:42
It's the funding that allows the free speech to happen.
18:47
And ironically, these are the same zelots that will say
18:51
Donald Trump can't shut down Jimmy Kimmel. Well, Donald Trump
18:55
didn't shut down Jimmy Kimmel, and we need to let
18:57
go of this. Kimmel's pr agent is loving this stuff.
19:04
Even Ted Cruz fell prey to it. So Brendan Carr
19:10
was asked if there was anything the FCC would do
19:16
two broadcast affiliates of the Jimmy Kimmel program, and he
19:22
said that if what Jimmy Kimmel said was proven to
19:26
be libelous, then they could face fines. Of course, the
19:30
narrative became Brendan Carr says the FCC will go after
19:34
Jimmy Kimmel affiliates, which wasn't true at all. Well, every
19:40
third word was pulled out of Commission Share Carr's statement,
19:45
but even grabbed Ted Cruz, who on his podcast said,
19:50
if the government gets in the business of saying we
19:53
don't like what you the media have said, we're going
19:55
to bang you from the airwaves if you don't say
19:58
what we like. That will be bad for conservatives. Won't
20:02
just be bad for conservatives, Ted, It'll be bad for everyone.
20:06
But that's see what Ted Cruz just said. There is
20:09
what happens when you become a shill, and you become
20:13
a shill for a political party or for political ideology,
20:16
and you have to say, hey, Joe, you're a manager
20:19
of a burger king, which do you prefer the whopper
20:22
or the Big Mac? The Whopper because the whoppers allows
20:27
you to have it your way. Full disclosure. I used
20:32
to be a burger king manager in a previous life.
20:36
Bayside Queen's right there in Northern Boulevards still there. The
20:40
one in Floral Park has gone. But that wasn't my fault.
20:46
That's the difference. That's how the left can say they're
20:49
fighting for freedom the same way the right does, because
20:52
the right gets it wrong just as much. And then
20:55
you have these inequivocally easy moments when the Chicago mayor,
21:02
the Chicago mayor says this, and this isn't just like
21:06
the President. I'll play you his whole state.
21:08
Speaker 6: The fact of the matter is we are driving bidence
21:10
down in this city, and we're using every single resource
21:13
that's available to us. Jails and incarceration and law enforcement
21:18
is a sickness that has not led to safe communities.
21:22
Speaker 2: That's it. That's not me parsing him. That is the entirety.
21:26
That is the video of the mayor of the third
21:29
largest city in the United States of America saying that
21:33
police and law enforcement is a sickness and it's probably
21:43
just like zorhand mad money. In New York. At some
21:47
point they figure I'm not going to lose reelection. I'm safe.
21:53
It's Chicago, so I can say whatever I want. God
21:56
bless him because he has outed better than anyone else could.
22:00
What the left.
22:01
Speaker 5: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League training for Planet
22:04
Fitness and the American Heart Association recommends that we all
22:07
get at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate
22:10
aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the thing
22:13
that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
22:15
be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could
22:18
just be you moving your body and doing what you
22:20
already love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart
22:23
doesn't just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your
22:26
workout routines with strength training as well. So we are
22:30
super excited to be launching our new plateloaded Strength series
22:34
and all of our gems. It's already fitted in seventeen
22:37
hundred locations, with the goal to have all twenty seven
22:40
hundred fitted by the end of twenty twenty five. So
22:43
if you need more information, go to our website at
22:45
planetfitness dot com, or, better yet, download our free Planet
22:49
Fitness app and with convenient locations all around the world,
22:52
and most of our gyms being open twenty four hours,
22:54
it's bound to be one close by you.
22:56
Speaker 4: For decades, America's offshore oil industry has relied on Portfouchaw
23:00
in Louisiana.
23:01
Speaker 2: But now as.
23:03
Speaker 4: Win Energy continues to grow, many of these vessels, these companies,
23:07
these people are building and servicing the offshore wind industry.
23:11
Speaker 8: Move in equipment, installing turbines, transporting crews.
23:14
Speaker 4: It's a huge opportunity and we're proud to be a
23:16
part of that.
23:17
Speaker 13: US Offshore Wind has already announced over twenty five billion
23:20
dollars in infrastructure investments. Learn more at cleanpower dot org,

sponsored by the American Clean Power Association.
23:26
Speaker 17: Let's see if something costs less but people are happier
23:29
with it. Maybe you've heard switching to meta share to
23:32
pay for healthcare can save the typical family five hundred
23:35
bucks a month. You can save a ton and like
23:38
it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
23:40
of your health care. Whether you're self employed or part
23:43

Speaker 10: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
24:07
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
24:12
am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
24:18
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
24:22
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
24:26
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
24:31
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:36
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
24:42
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
24:45
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
24:50
healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

26:15
Speaker 20: Love that guy, me too.

Speaker 7: 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, and there
27:01
are day to day things you can do. Lower your
27:03
thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer, close
27:07
fireplace stampers when they're not in use, and keep air
27:09
filters clean. For more tips on saving money by reducing

28:11
Speaker 1: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
28:15
Joe Thomas.
28:27
Speaker 2: Four three four eight eight two four two one seven
28:31
is the Multitasking Technology Line. Because it's a telephone, you're
28:36
sure you can have a conversation, but even a Saturday morning,
28:39
the cacophony is loud of things you've got to get done.
28:43
I still fancifully think that the roots of the word
28:48
morning find their way back to some ancient Greek word
28:52
that means last minute, because that's what we do with mornings.
28:56
It is a repository of all the things. And yeah,
28:59
I know too much Norm Crosby when I was a kid.
29:04
Speaker 8: So the.
29:06
Speaker 2: Chicago Mayor and his statement about jails and we.
29:15
Speaker 6: Are driving bidens down in this city.
29:17
Speaker 2: Now, this was after a weekend in which what was
29:20
the total, fifty four people were shot and seven killed
29:24
just over Labor Day weekend. So I'm going to say
29:28
we're driving down crime because it was much worse than
29:31
that before.
29:31
Speaker 6: They were using every single resource that's available to us
29:35
except jails and incarceration, and law enforcement is a sickness
29:40
that has not led to safe communities.
29:47
Speaker 2: Now. His premise is because Chicago still doesn't have safe
29:51
communities and they still have law enforcement, ipso facto one
29:57
must lead to the other. It's more correlation than causation.
30:03
But this is what the reparational Marxists believes. That you
30:09
shouldn't own property, and if you do own property, it's
30:12
because you've stolen it, you have it inappropriately instead of
30:18
somebody else who needs it. And always the case when
30:21
these things happen that it's the poorest who suffered the mostest.
30:26
The story out of Chicago of the nurse who couldn't
30:31
get to work because she was carjacked and couldn't afford
30:36
a new car, and the prosecutor said they weren't going
30:39
to bring charges because the guy just needed a car.
30:43
This is survival crime. But the woman nearly lost her
30:48
job at the hospital she worked at because you couldn't
30:53
get to work, and they said, well, if you can't
30:55
get here, you can't work. Here. She wasn't wealthy. But
31:02
that's how these progressive prosecutors look at it. They say, Oh, well,
31:06
you have a car and this guy doesn't, so he
31:09
has a right to steal it. You have a house
31:12
and this guy doesn't, so he has a right to
31:14
steal it. Where does it end? Because understand, this is
31:20
about private property ownership and having a rule book that
31:27
says you can't take that. So what this guy is
31:34
talking about is a world without laws. Brandon Johnson is
31:42
his name. He's the mayor of Chicago, and what he's
31:45
talking about is a world without property, a world where
31:50
you have what you have by government assignment. This is
31:55
your place, and if you violate the government'sization, then you
32:01
will go to jail. There will still be jails, And
32:03
all these folks who think there won't be jails or
32:06
something like that, they're fooling themselves as well. But this
32:16
Mayor Johnson, because maybe he's certainly the violence in his
32:24
city is untenable, but under the belief that he's not
32:30
going to get bounced out of office for saying this,
32:37
What would it say to you if you ran a
32:39
business in Chicago, If you ran a business in Chicago,
32:44
if you owned a business selling cars, and you have
32:46
cars on your lot, and the mayor says, we're not
32:51
going to punish the bad guys for stealing the cars
32:53
off your lot. I think this is a clarion call
32:57
to the world that Chicago is now the wild wild West.
33:01
You want it, take it, We're not going to do
33:04
anything about it. You don't like somebody, shoot him because
33:09
we won't punish you for it.
33:12
Speaker 6: And we're using every single resource that's available to us.
33:15
Jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness that
33:20
has not led to safe communities.
33:24
Speaker 2: So if law enforcement is a sickness, and pardon me
33:27
for being linguistic with this, then the laws themselves must
33:33
be a sickness. And when they talk about democracy, this
33:41
is what we push back is democratsy. It's the idea
33:47
that everyone shares. It's what Charlie Kirk was unprogramming when
33:52
he would get college kids that had gone through you know,
33:57
fourteen years of it's about bareness. I know your mommy
34:03
worked very hard to buy those crayons, Joe, but you
34:06
have to share because that's fair. No, no, no, Joe.
34:12
You can't just share with him because he's your friend,
34:14
you have to share with him who hits you the
34:16
last hour, because that's fair. That's the narrative that feeds
34:28
this infection, the artery that gives it this tumor. It's blood.
34:42
And since the advent of the Great Society, we have
34:48
four times as many people living under the poverty level
34:52
as we did before the Great Society began. So Mayor
34:59
Johnson Chicago has a willing audience to listen to his
35:06
craziness because they're sitting there saying, Jesus, I don't have anything.
35:16
So they start to fall prey to it, and more
35:18
and more people become corrupted by this idea that the
35:24
government is going to make me prosperous because they sort
35:32
of said so, this is how they play with sloppy language. Again,
35:38
free speech. You have a right to speak. And what
35:41
happens is these marketing directors for all of these politicians
35:47
tell them what to say so that they can't really
35:49
be held to it. But it sounds like we're saying,
35:53
we're going to help you out.
35:57
Speaker 9: Far in your time.
35:59
Speaker 3: We have the opportunity to move not only towards the
36:02
rich society and the powerful society, but upward to the
36:08
Great society. The great society rests on abundance and liberty
36:14
for all.
36:15
Speaker 6: The fact of the matter is, we are driving in
36:17
this city, but we're using every single resource that's.
36:20
Speaker 1: Available to us.
36:22
Speaker 6: Jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness that
36:26
has not led to safe communities.
36:28
Speaker 2: No, poverty is the sickness that has not led to
36:31
safe communities. The take from the makers and give to
36:37
the takers. Aid programs, the American style soft core Marxism
36:46
that Lyndon Johnson brought in sixty years ago is why
36:49
your city has in some cases, and I think the
36:52
abstract is four times as many poor people nationwide, but
36:56
there are places like New York and Chicago and law
37:00
Los Angeles where that percentage is eight or ten times
37:04
as many poor people as they had in nineteen sixty four.
37:09
And it makes it good for the Marxists because the
37:11
Marxists can now have a target rich environment full of people.
37:18
And in some places like New York, it makes it
37:20
doubly good because they also happen to be Jewish, so
37:23
we can point and say, hey, the Jews have a
37:27
lot of money, go get them, because that's never been
37:32
done before. But we're the Nazis. This is why I
37:37
don't buy there. You're the Nazis when they're the ones
37:40
saying the Jews are the ones who are doing all
37:42
the bad things in our society and have all the money.
37:45
That's why we need to do something about it. I mean,
37:49
the only thing we haven't done is suggest to the
37:51
Jewish communities that we have safe camps for them to
37:54
go to to get away from the violence that Mayor
37:58
Johnson is allowing to happen in Chicago.
38:00
Speaker 13: Yet in twenty twenty four, the American Heart Association celebrates
38:04
one hundred years of life saving service as the world's
38:07
leading nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health. Heart
38:11
disease still kills more people in the United States each
38:14
year than all types of cancer combined, but more than
38:17
half of Americans are unaware of this fact, according to
38:20
a recent Harris Pole survey conducted for the American Heart Association. However,
38:25
the majority of heart disease is preventable. New research has
38:28
improved the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease and
38:32
its risk factors. Efforts led by the American Heart Association
38:35
have reduced deaths from heart disease by half over the
38:38
past century and helped people with heart disease live longer
38:41
and more productive lives while managing their condition and risk factors.

41:23
your risk for type two diabetes and heart disease, and
41:26
if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The

45:09
Jimmy Kimmel famously mocked Leno on The Tonight Show in
45:13
twenty ten, when Jay was sixty. Leno had been host
45:16
for eighteen years. Kimmel has been hosting for over twenty
45:21
years now and turns fifty eight in November. Jimmy Kimmel
45:24
is a hypocritical coward. Well, most of them are. And
45:28
remember Jimmy Kimmel was, most people will say, kindly sold
45:35
out to Disney to be the late night infomercial for
45:41
everything Disney owned. Remember Disney is the corporation that invented
45:49
synergy as a business model. We'll own all these things
45:55
rather than having to cut deals with all these places.
45:59
So instead of trying to get a record company to
46:02
produce the soundtrack to our next movie, We'll just buy
46:07
a record company, Hollywood Records. Instead of paying a TV
46:14
network to promote our movies, how about we just buy
46:18
the TV network. So, you know, most of Kimmel's quote
46:24
guests were always somebody who's who had a new show
46:28
on Hulu or ABC or a movie coming out. Dwayne
46:32
Johnson on Tonight's show, how did he get him? Hey, Dwayne,
46:36
what are you up to? Well, Disney's got a new
46:38
movie of mine coming out, No Disney, how did he
46:44
book him? I mean that was where it was. It
46:46
was an infomercial for all things Disney. And maybe Disney
46:53
wants to sell some stuff to President Trump's supporters. I
46:56
don't know, but it's they're a private company and they
46:59
have the right to fire somebody or discontinue their contract
47:04
with somebody, and it's a dangerous, dangerous place. Do we
47:08
have a Horace Cooper, the great jurist Horace Cooper from
47:12
the Black Conservative Network Project twenty one was on the
47:15
show Tuesday morning. You can go find his podcast there.
47:19
I'm just going to play an excerpt from it where
47:22
he warned what the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination could
47:26
lead to.
47:26
Speaker 24: Greatest gift that they gave us was this idea that
47:31
we were going.

Speaker 19: To be a republic where people were persuaded with regard
47:37

Speaker 24: Those that stuffed him out.
47:53
Speaker 14: I said this just recently the day of the shooting

48:04
called cancel culture, the so.
48:06
Speaker 19: If we don't like you, we must turn you off.
48:11
That group is going to come to regret what has
48:16
ended up happening. And I pledged then, as I repeat now,
48:21
I will be a champion for free speech. I am
48:25
honored to stand shoulder to shoulder with Charlie Kirk and
48:30
say free speech is important and it is a value
48:36
that we must be willing to die for. But I
48:39
also said that.
48:41
Speaker 24: I fear that the norm busting event of such a
48:47
such a thing as this assassination will come with consequences.
48:52
I commented that COVID had really really devastating.
48:58
Speaker 19: Effects, particular on the loss of life.
49:02
Speaker 14: But after a few years we turned.
49:05
Speaker 25: Back and became America again. But you know what, after
49:08
September eleventh, we were changed permanently. And I wonder, are
49:15
we now going to get a new round of online
49:20
monitoring of.
49:23
Speaker 19: The ability to surveil so that if you go to
49:28
a ballgame.
49:30
Speaker 25: All of the people who attend will have to pass
49:34
facial recognitions.
49:36
Speaker 2: These are true concerns given what we know about the
49:40
Patriot Act, and I think conservatives need to understand it
49:44
isn't even theoretical. So we enact the Patriot Act under
49:47
President Bush, and then all of a sudden Barack Obama
49:50
gets a hold of it and we have crossfire, hurricane.
49:55
It's not even theory anymore. It's actually happened. So we
50:04
have to be very careful of how we react to this.
50:07
And this is what this is part and parcel of
50:10
why the left is playing so hard on this statement
50:14
the President made yesterday about the press coverage he gets,
50:21
because they want to separate you from him anyway they can.
50:30
Speaker 26: Ninety six percent of the people are against me in
50:35
the sense of the newscasts are against me.
50:38
Speaker 2: And again, you know, could this have been smoother if
50:41
Barack Obama had been reading off of his teleprompter. Sure,
50:50
there are Republican friends of mine saying, well, he said
50:53
it was about him. It's personal with it. He is
50:58
the policy.
50:59
Speaker 26: The stories and ninety they said ninety seven percent bad,
51:04
so they gave me ninety seven. They'll take a great
51:06
story and they'll make it bad. See, I think that's
51:12
really illegal personally.
51:13
Speaker 2: Well, and it depends on how you make it bad.
51:16
If you lie about it, if you if you violate
51:19
somebody's rights by lying about them, then sure it's illegal.
51:22
Speaker 26: And somebody that just won an election and I had
51:25
to go through the story of the election, I think
51:27
it's a miracle that I can win when ninety seven
51:30
percent of the stories on the networks are bad or
51:35
whatever it may be. Whether it's eighty nine, it doesn't matter.
51:37
It's a tremendous number.
51:39
Speaker 1: You know it.
51:40
Speaker 26: You report it all the time and it changes. But
51:42
when you have that kind of a negative reporting, fake
51:46
negative rebody, when they take a great story and they
51:49
make it into a bad story constantly, that's what they do.
51:53
Look sixty minutes took Kamala's answer and they threw it
51:57
out and they gave her a different answer, so.
51:59
Speaker 2: That the danger is just like the terrorist threat, is
52:03
what policy does this turn into? But the President didn't
52:07
say he was going to send Brendan Carr and the
52:10
FCC after anyone. Brendan Carr didn't actually say he was
52:14
going to target ABC affiliates. The question was are you
52:19
going to try to punish ABC affiliates? And he said,
52:22
if anyone breaks the law of the FCC, we will
52:26
go after them. But the question became the answer is
52:29
is always the case because they want you to take
52:33
that Trump sign out of your yard or the Republican
52:36
congressman that you have out there. Why do they do it? JT?
52:42
Because it works. Thank you for spending your Saturday morning
52:46
with us until Monday, so long, and thanks for all
52:49
the fish.

Speaker 13: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
52:53
compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
52:57
California based chiropractor with more than thirty years of experience,
53:01
this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
53:05
or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
53:09
and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
53:12
the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
53:16
Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
53:20
safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
53:24
the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
53:27
designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
53:30
back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
53:33
with the use of a release strap. The devices are
53:36
convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home,
53:38
and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos
53:42
and detailed instructions. For more information, visit Fishertraction dot com
