"It's the Grift, Stupid" (Saturday, January 31, 2026, Hour 3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Again the first thing today the media age Thomas, well done.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: George said, steal met a day at least for work
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: when the sun comes up, drops a kid to school.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: The way Joe has everything agenda all the Joses said,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: he needs no one that Joe Zellance smiling, He only eggs.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Let her be Joe.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Thank you for letting me be of service to you.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: I want to be Joe, and I will work. From
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: the President of the United States on illegal immigration.
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: All Americans, not only in the States most heavily affected,
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Who have argued passionately.
• 1:04
  Speaker 6: That we should simply provide those who are illegally with
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: legal status, or at least ignore the laws on the books,
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: and put an end to deportation until we have better laws.
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: And often this argument is framed in moral terms. Why
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: should we punish people who are just trying to earn
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: a living. I recognize the sense of compassion that drives
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: this argument, but I believe such an indiscriminate approach would
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: be both unwise and unfair.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: To speed the deportation of illegal aliens whore arrested for
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: crimes to better identify illegal aliens in the workface, as
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: recommended by the commission headed by a former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan.
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: We are a nation of immigrants, but we.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Are also a nation of laws.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: It is wrong and ultimately self des for a nation
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: must do more to stop them.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, you thought I meant the current president of the
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: United States. But why, Joe, I hear you?
• 2:18
  Speaker 8: Now?
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: Why why play these Is it just gotcha? Is it
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: because Barack Obama and Bill Clinton are Democrats? No, it's
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: to point out that the hypocrisy is not just simply
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: about populism and wanting to be seen with the right think.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: These guys don't care about the right think.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: That.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Can we go back to Barry's clip, Little Barry Sato
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: when he talked about better laws and that kind of stuff.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: Those who were illegally with legal status, or at least
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: ignore the laws on the books and put an end
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: to deportation until.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: We have better laws. So that was what twenty ten,
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: twenty nine. One of the things that Barack Obama left
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: out of that recitation was listing a codification of what
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: those better laws might be. And since those moments, Bill Clinton,
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: that was nineteen ninety six State of the Union, Barack
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Obama two, and nobody, even in passing statements like that,
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: have specified what laws are in need of changing in
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: our immigration policies. And this is the essential concrete under
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: all of this. But we will come back to that.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: It is time for us to first tell you what
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: went on last night so that we can discuss thoroughly here.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Our first things begin with the federal government shutdown. Did
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: you notice? I know it happened at midnight this morning
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: because the Democrats and the Senate walked away from the
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: deal that they struck not days before to fund the
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: government while they discussed reworking the DHS funding. Before the
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: government shut down, the Justice Department was able to release
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: three million pages of documents, along with two thousand videos
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: and one hundred and eighty thousand images related to the
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: investigation into disgraced Democrat financier and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Deputy
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Attorney General Todd Blanche s the Department would continue these releases.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: The emails include exchanges with Elon Musk and Andrew Mountain
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Batten Windsor, the artist formerly known as Prince of York.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Nine people, including former CNN anchor Don Lemon and other journalists,
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: have been charged with violating federal laws under the KKK
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Statutes and conjection, and connection with storming of churches in Minnesota.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Earlier this month, they broke into city's church in Saint
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Paul when they found out that a local field office
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: chief for the Ice Division was serving as pastor there.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Federal judge in Washington, d C. Struck down parts of
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: the President's executive order on voter registration, saying that the
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: directive to assess citizenship is contrary, quoting to the envy
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: the National Voter Registration Act. President Donald Trump said Fridays
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: nominating Kevin Worsh to serve as the incoming chairman of
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System when
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Chairman Joel Jerome Powell's term expires in May. Federal judge
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: has refused to order pre trial release of a man
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: charged with placing pipe bombs in front of the RNC
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: and DNC headquarters on January fifth, twenty twenty one, before
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: the attacks and riots outside and inside the Capitol. Left
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: wing activists in another church setting stormed a temple on
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Long Island while Congressman Tom Swazi was speaking there. They
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: were protesting his vote in favor of continuing ICE's funding
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: in the next budget cycle. And Saudi Arabia says no

  Speaker 12: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 12: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 12: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 12: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 12: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 12: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 12: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 12: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51

• 9:58
  Speaker 14: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah. It's always a boy growing
• 10:01
  Speaker 14: up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 14: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 14: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 14: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 14: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15
  Speaker 14: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
• 10:17
  Speaker 14: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 14: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 14: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:25
  Speaker 14: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 14: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 14: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 14: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 14: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
• 10:41
  Speaker 14: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
• 10:44
  Speaker 14: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
• 10:46
  Speaker 14: help those in need. So please join me an American

  Speaker 15: Bruh, that's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 10: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  Speaker 10: heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 16: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
• 11:15
  Speaker 16: brain is saying when it's time to go home. Somebody

• 11:31
  Speaker 9: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
• 11:39
  Speaker 9: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home

  Speaker 9: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46

  Speaker 9: leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
• 11:56
  Speaker 9: improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
• 12:00
  Speaker 9: when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: energy Star logo and read the energy guide label. And
• 12:06
  Speaker 9: there are day to day things you can do. Lower
• 12:09
  Speaker 9: your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,

  Speaker 18: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 18: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 18: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased

  Speaker 1: We won't tell your HR director, but we might post
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: it to your grinder profile. First thing today by Joe
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: You're.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: You're willing to sacridake?
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Here's the again, the point and and thank goodness that
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: in the maelstrom of all this, rather than firing Christy Nome,
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: President Trump has reiterated, and as has she, that the
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: point of all of this is to get to the
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: bottom of where do money go? And what fascinates me
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: to a small degree after doing this so long it's
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: hard to pretend that it surprises me, is that the
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: very people who are in the streets, these indivisibilists in
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Minneapolis and are protesting and are now outside the state
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: capitol because Tim Waltz talked to Donald trumpet dom Oman,
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, that you're supposedly the people who support
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: the idea of government assistance for people in need, correct,
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't want to mischaracterize anybody. So given,
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: why are you supporting and marching in defensive people who
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: took eight billion dollars out of the hands of people
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: in this country that needed it. I mean, I have
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: a difficult time when a Republican is caught voting for
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: a big tax increase or you know, nine billion dollars
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: in pork programs as attached to this budget deal. Yet
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: you seem to be able to turn this on and
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: off with some strange mental acuity that I don't possess.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know how to pretend I'm somebody different or
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: set aside things that I stood for. So if you're
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: in favor of government assistance for people, why are you
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: defending the people who stole that money, or at very
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: least running a distraction op that has people looking the
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: other way. And you're storming churches. I mean, let's stop
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: for a second, then look at yourself. You are storming
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: a temple to attack one of the people speaking at
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: this temple. I received this text message, Maureen says, Joe,
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: you posted a picture of the klu Klux Klan on
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: your social media saying we used to have people that
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: stormed the churches. We used to have people that stormed
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: the temples too, And she sent me a picture of
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: a bunch of Nazi soldiers marching. So you're aligning yourself
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: in behavioral sense with the klu klux Klan and the
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Nationalist Socialist Party of Germany. Did you think this through?
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: I don't care if you think you should be the
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: government should be taking from the rich and giving to
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: the poor in some adult misunderstanding of what the Robin
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Hood story was. I get that. I get the fact
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: that you feel like people need help and you don't
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: feel the urge to do it, but you will vote
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: for somebody who says they will. I get that. I
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: understand that. Well, that sounded mean spirited, that sounded hell,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: you know, I can't help it. How you know something
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: I say impacts you. But what you're doing is actually
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: defend and running cover for the people who stole billions
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: of those dollars that could have been helping the people
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: that you every day tell me you want to help.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: That's what I don't get. As much as there's other
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: hypocrisies and the well, you know, they're members of our
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: community or their residents here, or they're the permanent underclass.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: When we come back. I do want to address Ray's email,
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: but I want to address it in front of everybody,
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: because Ray questions my posit that the Civil War that
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: so many people on the left and the right keep
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: talking about on their social media and their substacks and
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: their cable news hits. I don't know we're heading towards
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: the Civil War. No, We've just watched the old one
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: get reinflamed and just you know, as an abstract for
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: setting it up. You know, at my point of it
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: is that we're looking at the development of a permanent
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: underclass designed to work in servitude of the elites. It's
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: what they were fighting about in and I expected more
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: pushback because I flag this show from Virginia. I'm forty
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: five minutes away from the capital of the Confederacy. I
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: understand that I'll be the first one to tell you
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: the North invaded the South because tax revenues went through
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: the floor, because the South wear the prosperous tax generating states,
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: much like Canada's Battle over Alberta. Alberta generates a lot
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: of the money the Canadian government uses to fund all
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: the social programs for people who are probably mailing it
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: to Somalia. Two And when the South seceded from the
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: North in the first iteration of the same civil war
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: we're facing now over slavery. Yes, it's left because it
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: wanted to keep the slave population. The Dixiecrats wanted to
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: defend this permanent under class, this permanent servant class, and
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: some of them have defended it under property rights.
• 20:36
  Speaker 17: Some of it.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: We're defending it saying it's a kindness, much in the
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: same way we hear people saying, but you know, these
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: folks were protecting them as a kindness. Busting the tables
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: at our favorite cafe so we don't have to pay
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: so much for our pannini is a kindness, Ray writes
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: in for one thing, the illegals were not brought here
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: in chains. They can do and leave when they choose,
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: and when thrown out, will often return illegally. In fact,
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: the current situation is much more like the immigration we
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: had during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when large
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: numbers of peasants from Eastern and Southern Europe flooded through
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: Ellis Island. These East Europeans did not form a permanent underclass.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: They or their children quickly moved up from common laborers
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: into skilled labor And we'll get into this when the
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: whole crowd is back, because Ray listens in Central Virginia.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: But the difference is ellis Island unless you're comparing, unless
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: you're making the Joe Biden Asylum app the same as
• 21:59

  Speaker 12: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:13
  Speaker 12: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 12: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  Speaker 12: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or

  Speaker 12: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:42
  Speaker 12: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 24:46
  Speaker 12: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

• 28:34
  Speaker 4: Wait what now? Hang on? Excuse me? Oh, j I
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: received an email. It's down in the pile. It's down
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: in the I have. I have what we call an
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: archaeological filing system. Uh, each week is about an inch
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: on the pot. So it's the email about poverty inc. Anyway,
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: I brought up the concept of kindness that can kill
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: last week. I forget exactly the context that we got. Yeah,
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: this is the one, Jerry queried. He heard me in
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: an interview. We were talking to somebody and I brought
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: up poverty Inc. A film, a documentary. Gosh, it's got
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: to be ten years old now, but it's about the
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: poverty industry, and I remember talking to the filmmaker about it,
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: and he said that the original pitch for the documentary
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: was We're going to go out and do a promotional
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: piece saying, look at how great we you know, the
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: great things we are doing with our altruism. And it
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: became quickly apparent that he was wrong in his premise
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: heading into the filming of this documentary, rather than doing
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: what most documentarians do, which is saying, well, the money
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: is supposed to pay for this, see documentarianism. I will
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: begin with the end of our story, and I will
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: get a documentary that tells the tale. That's called fiction.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: George Lucas does that. George Lucas says, we need to
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: get to a place where Anakin and ben Kenobi are
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: battling on the lava planet. So I need three movies
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: that get us there. Oh that's what documentarianism is. We
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: need to tell you how great the federal government is.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: So let's write a documentary that tells that story. Okay,
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: here's money. So the documentary is all about all these
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: different places where ourtempts to beat the what did Reagan
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: called them in sixty fourth the do gooders? So in
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: the attempts to be these do gooders. We've made things
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: worse Africa, in the Caribbean, South America, you name it,
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: even to the point of getting Bono in this documentary.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: In this documentary, you will watch Bono. What's his name?
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Hewitt?
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Is it Christopher Hewitt, the lead singer of you two,
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Mister Forgive the Debt Guy turn on his own Forgive
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: the Debt idea. He actually gets Bill Clinton to reverse
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: course in this dome. Well, the film doesn't do it.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: The film chronicles this one uh tech genius from Africa,
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: and it's brilliant stuff. So wonderful is this documentary? It
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: won Best in Show at the Libertarian Film Festival known
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: as Anthem, held every year in conjunction with Freedom Fest.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: Are we going back there again? I mean they were
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: in Vegas again in July? Yes, because nothing says fun
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: and frolic like July in Las Vegas. Well, get ready
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: to feel like we don't feel what one hundred and
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: twenty degrees feels like again? But Freedom Fest every year
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: the Scouson's put together. A part of it is the
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: Anthem Film Festival Great Films, and it won Best in
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: Show at the Anthem Libertarian Film Festival, and it won
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: Best in Show at sun Dance, the Liberal you know,
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: Robert Redford Film Festival. That's how good this documentary is.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: So I would suggest you find it. Is it on Netflix?
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: It's bad pro cast form for me to be searching
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: my Netflix account to see if it's on there. Somebody
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: look and see if it's out there on it. But
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: kindness that kills was the point I was getting to
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: regarding Minneapolis. Yes, but even the homelessness, as so much
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: of the country is still gripped in sub zero temperatures,
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: and churches are overwhelmed in trying to open their sanctuaries
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: for the indigent the homeless, and every newscast is full
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: of some political honk calling them the unhoused m M.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: And this is one of the truly most orwelly in
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: terms of a phrase, the unhoused, because the implication of
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: the and it's so subtle. Yes, they don't have a house.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: Who's doing is that? See when you say somebody is unfed, well,
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: somebody was supposed to feed them. If they're unhoused, whose
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: fault is it they don't have housing, Well, it's obviously
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: not theirs. They were there to be housed, and they
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: haven't been housed. The implication, the inference, is that it's
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: somebody else's job to house them. That's not the way
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: it's supposed to work. And that's how you wind up
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: with more unhoused because the grift is that we keep
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: some for ourselves. And this goes back to Minneapolis because
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: these aid agencies that were sending all the money overseas,
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: nobody checked into them. Go back to the City Journal
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: story we told you about earlier in the week, whistle blower.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: We still have the story on our saved files. So
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: is City Journals sat down with a whistle blower that
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: was in the well redundant to say, in the Democrat
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: administration of Minnesota's government, but you know, was there, saw
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: what was going on and called attention to it, only
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: to find themselves under rebuke for pointing out such things.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: They they found there was one instance in the City
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: Journal piece they talk about staffer had awarded a one
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: million dollar annual contract to somebody that no longer worked
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: at the Department of Health Services. I mean, just for
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: a second put your brain around that, and it appears
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: that they were involuntarily dismissed from the DHS and then
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: comes come back and get a one million dollar annual contract.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: Then this happens a lot. And even in private business,
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: we're eliminating your department, mister Thomas, but we will hire
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: you back as a contractor. It happens in broadcasting. We're
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: going to fire you as our morning show, mister Thomas,
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: but we'll bring you back as a contractor. You can
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: put your show on. Anybody will even sue you to
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: make you look good. I don't think that my former
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: boss has sued me to make me look good, but
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: good on you anyway. But these these trafficking organizations take
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: their skim off the top. So if you send a
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: dollar to Washington, the best case scenario is that forty
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: cents comes back to whatever street it was you were
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: hoping it went to, and sixty percent upwards of seventy
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: five percent, depending on the organization and how many bureaucracies
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: it has to go through, is taken in the skim.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: If you will in the administrative costs of overseeing these groups,
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, my god, the Clinton Family Foundation has a
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: better path through rate. And if you actually judge the
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: federal and state governments of the United States on was it.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: Nonprofit navigator is the one that gives you the score ABC,
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: based mostly on how much of the dollars that are
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: given to the organization actually get to the people that
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: the organization says they're supposed to be helping. It's stunning,
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: and that's why they don't want to stop it, because
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: the grift is incredible. And these are people. These are
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: not people making twenty bucks an hour. These are people
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: who make high six figure salaries doing this stuff.

• 38:17
  Speaker 15: of Americans are unaware of this fact, according to a
• 38:20
  Speaker 15: recent Harris Pole survey conducted for the American Heart Association. However,
• 38:25

  Speaker 5: Accidental hero who stays abruptly seized threat and reversed it.
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: To me.
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: So the premise, of course, is that the civil war
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: actually ended.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: And I received an amazingly well thought out well and
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: so many of your emails are as well. But Ray,
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: I have known for years he listens to us in
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: Central Virginia and has always been a voice. And I've
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: always had people, you know, either politically or social who
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: will shoot me an email when they hear me out
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: on a limb, just sometimes just to say are you
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: really sure you want to say that? And raise one
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: of those people. Ray calls in every now and then
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: at four three four eight A two four two one
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: seven And at this point and again understanding that I
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: figured I would receive some more pushback over the idea
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: that this is just the same civil war that we
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: thought ended in Appomattox, Virginia years ago, even under the premise,
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: even under the premise that it's a new one. All
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: the column inches on substack and all the minutes on
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: all the poorly watched cable TV shows before we finished.
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: I want to do it. Brendan Carthing. Uh, he's out
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: there trying to launder his image, and I don't know
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: if he heard us or somebody told him of us.
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: But Ray writes in, because my premise on the fact
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: that this isn't a new civil war, it's the same
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: old civil war, is that the participants all seem to
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: be the same political parties and they're still fighting for
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: the same thing, tax revenue and a permanent underclass of servants.
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: But Ray writes in, this is all quoting him here
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: unless I say otherwise. The comparison you make between slavery
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: during the Antebellum period and our current gray economy based
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: on illegal aliens today does not work. For one thing,
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: the illegals are not brought here in change. They can do,
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: can and do leave when they choose, and when thrown out,
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: they often return illegally. Before you yell at me, I'm
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: not including here the problem of human trafficking, which is
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: different but parallel. So what do you think, guys think
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: of me? I would yell at you right, I'm reading
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: your email. In fact, the current situation is much more
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: like the immigration we had during the late nineteenth and
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: early twentieth centuries, when large numbers of peasants from Eastern
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: and Southern Europe flooded through Ellis Island. These East Europeans
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: did not form a permanent underclass. They or their children
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: quickly moved up from common laborers into skilled labor, small businesses,
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: and the professions. And they are plenty of signs of
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: the current influx of Hispanics, etc. Will do Likewise, Every
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: society and every economy have unskilled jobs that need doing,
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: and generally there are people to do them who have
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: not fitted themselves for anything better, people who are willing
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: to start off at the bottom and work their way up.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: We though, bad through bad social policies, have rendered these
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: people in our societies so inept physically or psychologically that
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: they are unfitted. You implied that it is simply a
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: matter of offering a reasonable wage. I don't think I did,
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: but I'll get back to that in a second. It
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: would be fascinating to see how much you would have
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: to offer Americans to pick vegetables, lawyers, or football wages.
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: I expect if we are going to allow in cheap
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: third world labor. We would probably be better off socially
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: if we went back to raising our own children, cleaning
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: our own houses, and growing our own vegetables, and enduring
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: much higher housing costs. New York tenements. Anyone cheers right,
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: and cheers to you. I said, well, well laid out
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: in a couple of points I want to make in
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: here first and foremost, I am saying that the economy
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: is skewed. And when I talk about wages, and I
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: talk about what wages drive, think about who go chaves
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: When he mandated multitudes larger and higher wages in Venezuela
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: upon ascending to the presidency, and it immediately made all
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: the prices go up, so he had to institute price controls,
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: Thus the food riots and everything else that came about
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: from that. I'm not saying that you should pay somebody
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: to clean your house the same wage that you pay
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: a lawyer. But we need to as an economy get
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: back to where we can make that determination as to
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: what is the value of that work. If the most
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: successful restaurant in your town is clean and the bathrooms
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: are beautiful, think of Bucke's versus some back of the
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: road poorly maintained rest stop with what is you know
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: traditionally stereotypically referred to as a gas station bathroom versus BUCkies,
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: which apparently they sell the idea that their bathrooms are immaculate.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: They have a guy who makes living way cleaning the bathrooms,
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: and they figure out a way to make the money
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: to pay him elsewhere. They don't charge you to use
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: the bathroom or any of the other things that a
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: lot of the Unionists would insist. That would have to
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: be the answer. It's a value equation, and when we
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: mandate wages, we take that value equation out. But I
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: also want to go back to your point about the
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: European immigrants of the nineteenth and twentieth century. The key
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: difference is Ellis Island. Ellis Island was an immigration facility,
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: and there were plenty of people who were turned down
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: for that immigration. My mother in law came through that
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: immigration process in the sixties, still there, and her best
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: friend who was going to immigrate with her, was turned
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: down because she had had tubercul My wife remembers exist
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: factly what ailment she had had years and years prior,
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: but she didn't qualify medically because she had had this disease,
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: so you had to have a sponsor and you had
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: to go. And it was the development of things like
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: you know, the the Irish gangs of New York or
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: the Italian gangs of New York. And yes, a lot
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: of them morphed into legit businesses and created legit money.
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: See Joe Kennedy and his sons Jack and Teddy and Bobby.
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: And they generated wealth, and they expanded out, and they
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: did assimilate, and they did grow into it. But that's
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: not what's happening here, because these folks, unless you're comparing
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden's smartphone app of asylum dot Com to Ellis Island,
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: those immigrants of the nineteenth and twentieth century were coming
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: in based on the law of the land and complying
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: with the laws of the land and then saying, well,
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: you know, they don't allow people to drink, so it
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: will make alcoholic arm or they'll allow people to gamble,
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: so we'll sell them gambling, you know, and they created
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: a criminal element of that time that became other issues.
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: See the Rico statutes that I rail against sometimes with
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: great email rate. Thank you that you first being here
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: with us until Monday morning at five, So long, thanks
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: for all the fish.

  Speaker 15: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:54
  Speaker 15: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:58
  Speaker 15: California based chiropractor with more more than thirty years of experience,
• 53:02
  Speaker 15: this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
• 53:05
  Speaker 15: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:10
  Speaker 15: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:13
  Speaker 15: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
• 53:17
  Speaker 15: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
• 53:21
  Speaker 15: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:24
  Speaker 15: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
• 53:28
  Speaker 15: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:30
  Speaker 15: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:34
  Speaker 15: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:36
  Speaker 15: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home,
• 53:39
  Speaker 15: and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos
• 53:42
  Speaker 15: and detailed instructions. For more information, visit Fishertraction dot com.
