• 2:07
  you have to pick the show you want to be
• 2:09
  in the drawing for, because they're going to be different
• 2:12
  ones there. This text message comes into four three, four,
• 2:17
  eight eight two four to two one seven talking about
• 2:20
  evil Joe. I'm sure you're old slash mature enough to
• 2:24
  remember Nikita Khrushchev saying that the Soviet Union would bury
• 2:29
  America from the inside. Are we seeing that happen? I've
• 2:36
  said it before and I've said it again. The first
• 2:38
  time I was exposed to the Yuri Benjamin Off interviews.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: From nineteen eighty four.
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: He talked about how the communists had infiltrated the school's
• 2:48
  three generations earlier, and you realize that while his efforts
• 2:56
  and his tactic may have been wrong, Joe McCarthy was right.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: And Edward R.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: Murrow failed all of us in his journalistic pursuit in
• 3:08
  his desperate attempt to protect his friends who had gone
• 3:13
  to Communist party meetings because Joe McCarthy was going to
• 3:16
  arrest them for that. Rather than saying, hey, let's drag
• 3:20
  their crazy idea onto the sunlight and see how it works.
• 3:23
  A political ideology that comes with body bags included, who
• 3:28
  would support that unless you were being fooled as to
• 3:31
  what its actual agenda was.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Edward R.
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: Murrow should have dragged the communists out in the light
• 3:38
  and said, we shouldn't be arresting these folks, but we
• 3:41
  should be looking really carefully at what their ideology says
• 3:45
  and stands for and what its impact is. And I've
• 3:50
  got souls in. It's in, great souls in, it's in clip.
• 3:54
  I'll get to that when we come back from break.
• 3:56
  But we can't discuss the news until I tell you
• 3:59
  the news, and then we can chop it up. Neat
• 4:02
  and poignant moment during the September eleventh, twenty fourth anniversaries
• 4:07
  in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, as the Gate A seventeen terminal sign,
• 4:13
  which had been removed because the terminal where flight ninety
• 4:17
  three had departed from has been demolished in preparation of
• 4:21
  putting a newer terminal there at Newark Airport, but that
• 4:25
  Gate A seventeen sign was saved and now is permanently
• 4:28
  part of the National Park Services Flight ninety three memorial.
• 4:34
  Donald Trump has urged supporters yesterday evening to respond peacefully
• 4:39
  to the killing of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk,
• 4:45
  as the murderer continues to be on the loose. Reports
• 4:49
  that the FBI has recovered the rifle and that they
• 4:53
  have a person of interest, they just can't find them.
• 4:57
  They do have a toll free hotline if you can
• 5:00
  help them, and you're in the Orum, Utah or anywhere
• 5:03
  you might be able to help them, call one eight
• 5:06
  hundred call FBI, or you can post videos that you
• 5:11
  may think have captured his behaviors at FBI dot gov
• 5:16
  slash Utah Valley shooting. Federal Appeals Court cleared the way
• 5:22
  on Thursday for President Trump's administration to implement a provision
• 5:27
  of the tax bill, the One Big Beautiful Bill, formerly
• 5:31
  known as that would deprive Planned Parenthood and its members
• 5:35
  of medicaid funding. The First US Circuit Court of Appeals
• 5:39
  in Boston agreed to put on hold a preliminary injunction
• 5:43
  issued in July by lower court that concluded the law
• 5:48
  likely violated the US Constitution by targeting Planned parenthoods health
• 5:53
  centers specifically as punishment. US budget deficit fell nine percent,
• 5:59
  or thirty five billion dollars from last year to three
• 6:03
  hundred and forty five billion dollars. The president's administration is
• 6:08
  pointing to the collection of the tariffs as a big
• 6:11
  part of that. The majority of a panel of Brazilian
• 6:15
  Supreme Court justices have ruled that former President Bolsonaro did
• 6:23
  attempt coup to remain in office despite an election defeat
• 6:27
  in twenty twenty two.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: This may bring.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Backlashes from those who are within his government still to
• 6:37
  this day and hold elected office there otherwise. That is
• 6:42
  our first things this morning. We are now hearing a
• 6:46
  word that Charlie Kirk's assailant is in custody. That is
• 6:50
  breaking news right now. The assailant is in custody the
• 6:54

• 7:01
  Speaker 7: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
• 7:04
  people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
• 7:07
  to look into. And that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
• 7:10
  joining metashare can save you or your family up to
• 7:13
  five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but it's
• 7:16
  also true. People are just happier with it. They love

  being part of something that reflects and promotes their values
• 7:22
  and what they believe in. Meda Share works too. It's
• 7:25

  Speaker 9: Forty considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
• 8:07
  few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
• 8:12
  I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
• 8:18
  our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
• 8:22
  any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
• 8:26
  or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  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

  Speaker 2: Hirybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: I'm Jack and it's always a boy. Growing up on
• 10:01
  a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm
• 10:04
  not only in alle of their beauty and kindness, but
• 10:06
  also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds
• 10:09
  who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who
• 10:13
  work hard to provide for their young, or penguins who
• 10:15
  travel up to five hundred miles to secure food for
• 10:18
  their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:24
  This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:27
  the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  but because of their acute senses, they also perform life
• 10:33
  saving work every day.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
• 10:36
  Speaker 11: 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

  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:05
  Speaker 13: And now a speech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 14: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  art and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
• 11:15

  Speaker 19: I'm interested in change it us.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: But I'm indicating.
• 13:09
  Speaker 17: To amaze your friends here in First Thing Today by
• 13:15
  Joe Thomas.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: Okay, here's the latest for you on this. We don't
• 13:21
  have names or anything attached. As a matter of fact,
• 13:23
  right now, only Fox has this. President Apparently their whistleblower
• 13:29
  on this was President Trump who brought this news from
• 13:33
  the FBI director Cash Patel, who told the President he
• 13:38
  was on his way to be on Fox and Friends
• 13:42
  that police have arrested a suspect in the assassination of
• 13:47
  Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. Investigators had recovered, as
• 13:57
  we reported to earlier, high power old action rifle along
• 14:02
  the route the suspect was believed to have used. They
• 14:06
  had some door camera, some ring camera video. But President
• 14:14
  Trump on Fox News this morning saying they do have
• 14:17
  a suspect in custody. Now, as the story has borne out,
• 14:27
  this has happened a couple of times already in this
• 14:31
  so we don't know what, you know, how much of
• 14:35
  it is actually going to wind up being. They've arrested
• 14:39
  two folks already and let them go either as obstructionists.
• 14:45
  Which I find interesting is is if somebody had acted
• 14:51
  as an obstruction to justice? Is this a can conspiracy?
• 15:00
  Was there an organization to this? Requires you know more
• 15:07
  than that, but that's all we have right now.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Is the.
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: Is the story that there is somebody supposedly in custody
• 15:20
  now in Utah. There's stories circulating the internet that this
• 15:27
  was somebody who went to Utah Valley University and that
• 15:33
  had actually interacted with the Turning Point USA founder last
• 15:42
  year at an event in the same spot and had
• 15:55
  been treated, you know, if it's the same person, had
• 15:57
  been treated remarkably well. Actually had been told by the
• 16:01
  host that he had he had actually answered his question
• 16:04
  he had, I think we had to do with Kamala
• 16:07
  Harris and her qualifications to be president, and if it
• 16:12
  is the same fellow, the fellow had said, Charlie said, simply,
• 16:16
  you know what has she done that would qualify her
• 16:19
  to be president?
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: And he said that she had.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: Used her office as Attorney General in California to cut
• 16:29
  prescription drug costs at the consumer level. And he said,
• 16:34
  you know what, You're right, that is something she did.
• 16:38
  Congratulates you've got something.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: The second question is is that worthy of voting for
• 16:42
  her for president?
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: And the fellow said, well, no, but.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: Was in the video sadly and interestingly treated with the
• 16:52
  utmost respect of somebody.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: He was turned out to be wrong.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: And maybe, as we look into the black mirror that
• 16:59
  is the Internet, this is the problem.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Is nobody wants to be wrong.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: Nobody loves the idea that you got some date wrong
• 17:08
  or you had the I think there was an instance
• 17:14
  earlier this month that I had the Trojans and the
• 17:17
  Greeks mixed up in the Trojan Horse story, not out
• 17:21
  of the theme of sneaking somebody into your opponent's stronghold.
• 17:28
  That that part, I get. It was just who was
• 17:31
  in the horse and who wasn't. I was riffing and
• 17:35
  it was off the top of my head and somebody
• 17:37
  called me on it, and you get, you know, your
• 17:40
  endorphins go up a little bit when somebody said, hey,
• 17:43
  by the way, you were wrong about that. And I
• 17:47
  don't know if that's what they preyed upon or if
• 17:50
  that's just simmered on this guy. It wasn't one of
• 17:53
  these viral moments that everyone saw that still to this
• 18:01
  day circulating the Internet. No, it was a I looked
• 18:05
  at it, I said, oh, well, okay, it's not like
• 18:07
  Turning Point. USA played the clip every day if you
• 18:12
  opened their website, it was on some promo reel.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: So I don't understand.
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: But then again, I have a pretty good grip on
• 18:20
  all of my marbles, so I can't say I would
• 18:28
  I would know what it would look like in general
• 18:38
  at all anyway to make me drop my last good marble.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: I just don't.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: I have no frame of reference into that. But at
• 18:48
  four three, four, eight eight two four two one in seven,
• 18:52
  at least you know what we know. And that's the
• 18:54
  hard part about this kind of stuff is you have
• 18:57
  a flash point. September eleventh was another great example of it.
• 19:03
  We suspended my morning show. We were kind of a
• 19:06
  shock chock light show. We did stuff, We did events,
• 19:12
  We went out and did promotions. We used to on
• 19:15
  Secretary's Day we would dash a bunch of off. We
• 19:19
  give secretaries a baseball bat and let them bash up
• 19:22
  a computer or something indicative of their work, give them
• 19:27
  free food and stuff like that. That's the kind of
• 19:29
  stuff that my morning show was at that time. And
• 19:35
  don't start sending me emails saying, yeah, Joe, why don't
• 19:38
  you go back to that? So what happened on September eleventh,
• 19:44
  two thousand and one. Is we said, the newsroom takes over,
• 19:49
  this is a news story. So we my partner and
• 19:52
  I we went out and just started doing man on
• 19:55
  the street stuff, you know, not heavy journalism, but like, hey,
• 19:59
  how are you feeling? What are you doing a lot
• 20:01
  of promotion, a lot of blood drives, and I remember
• 20:04
  being kicked in the solar plexus. You want to talk
• 20:06
  about when is it time to move on from a
• 20:10
  news story. I was told we were called by the
• 20:14
  American Red Cross branch in Erie County, New York and
• 20:20
  asked us to please stop promoting these blood drives. Everyone
• 20:23
  was holding a blood drive somewhere. Everyone was hosting, and
• 20:26
  there were lines of people at the blood bank. And
• 20:30
  I remember the young lady coming on the program when
• 20:34
  we used the story, and we went to our boss
• 20:39
  and said, I think it's time for us to start
• 20:41
  playing music again.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Because there was no news.
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: It was a pile of rubble and it was just
• 20:47
  cameras all pointing at this pile of rubble, and none
• 20:52
  of the TV networks were able to say, we're going
• 20:55
  to go back to regular programming and we will cut
• 20:58
  in if anything happens they couldn't do it because they
• 21:03
  believed that you needed to constantly be staring at the screen. Again,
• 21:09
  it's two thousand and one. The internet wasn't what it
• 21:12
  is now, but there were internet sites and things like that.
• 21:18
  I think there was a webcam you could watch the pile,
• 21:22
  as they called it. But this is always that period
• 21:28
  whereas the story becomes very dull and you rehash it
• 21:34
  or you move on and you talk about other things.
• 21:38
  Bob and Farmville's on whether we're going to talk about
• 21:40
  some of those other things, like, oh, hey, you know
• 21:43
  the government runs out of money on September thirtieth. Oh,
• 21:46
  it's CR time and let's talk about CR i S
• 21:53
  Christmas time with TSL. We'll get into all that coming
• 21:58
  up for you after the news.
• 22:01
  Speaker 20: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage. National League training for Planet

  Fitness and the American Heart Association recommends that we all

• 22:18
  just be you moving your body and doing what you
• 22:20
  already love to do like exercise, and a stronger heart

• 24:07
  bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  I'm 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

  Speaker 17: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: So, we have a you know, the story out of
• 28:23
  Utah where the shooter has or a suspect I should
• 28:30
  say suspected shooter is in custody this morning. And the
• 28:36
  president was actually the one that made the announcement on
• 28:40
  Fox and Friends this morning, and I think we're getting
• 28:44
  the clip of that.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not seeing it anywhere else.
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: So obviously the President, as.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: You know, don't. We don't have the clip of it.
• 28:56
  We don't have cable service. You know. This is what
• 28:59
  you get when you don't.
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: Is this like ESPN where you have to pay thirty
• 29:03
  five dollars so you can watch five minutes worth of programming? Yeah,
• 29:07
  well I can take care of at least telling you
• 29:10
  the details of the story, and that is it is somebody,
• 29:17
  according to the President, that was friends with the shooter.
• 29:28
  That's that turned him in. According to the story I'm
• 29:34
  getting now, he said on the Fox and Friends visits,
• 29:38
  the high degree of certainty that Kirk's assailant had been shot.
• 29:50
  So apparently somebody had known the fella and then turned
• 29:58
  him in. So that's good news at least to that point.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: And he's he has not deceased.
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: This text message from Terry said, don't put him in
• 30:10
  the same cell as Jeffrey Epstein. Oh, Terry, I appreciate
• 30:15
  the texts four three four eight A two four two
• 30:19
  one seven is the phone number there to join in
• 30:23
  with us at there but that's the breaking news as
• 30:27
  of right now. They do have a suspect in custody
• 30:33
  for the shooting of Charlie Kirk this morning, and so
• 30:38
  we'll see where that comes out to and what manifests,
• 30:43
  and then how much more we learn about this.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: As the story progresses. The world you used to live in.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: Number one, the courts just upheld the president's Medicare restriction
• 31:00
  on abortions and planned parenthood, stopping the Medicaid money from
• 31:04
  going to plan parenthood. But also September thirtieth is coming.
• 31:09
  What do you hear about a deal? Is it just
• 31:11
  another cr Are we kicking the can down the road?
• 31:14
  How much more money are they going to spend? You
• 31:18
  choose which one you want to talk about first.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: Well, there's only seven legislative days where Congress is in
• 31:25
  a session between now and the funding expiration. Oh my god,
• 31:29
  September only going to be there seven more days, and
• 31:34
  even that, four of those days will be part days,
• 31:37
  maybe you know, just the evenings on the days they
• 31:40
  come into Washington, just the morning on the days they
• 31:43
  leave Washington.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: So really three full legislative days. That's horrible.
• 31:47
  Speaker 16: Jo.
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: They're not even pretending that they're going to pass individual
• 31:51
  spending bills. The only question is what kind of an extension,
• 31:56
  what kind of a continuing resolution or CR, will be
• 32:00
  added to it. There's been talk of ear marks, of
• 32:03
  adding ear marks. You know, the founders, they gave the
• 32:07
  purpose of the government for the federal government, and the
• 32:09
  Congress was for the to protect the gent, provide for
• 32:12
  the general welfare, and that general meant for the entire country,
• 32:15
  not individual projects, local projects for specific groups or specific
• 32:21
  elected officials. But they're talking about doing ear marks again,
• 32:25
  adding them to the CR, and the CR in and
• 32:31
  of itself keeps in place once again Democrat spending levels
• 32:35
  and policies from when Biden Pelosisumer had full control of government.
• 32:38
  They've just got extended through the last years when the
• 32:41
  Republicans control of the House in the first half of
• 32:43
  this year, but they're talking about doing that again, and
• 32:47
  we're spending more money than we were a year ago.
• 32:50
  The Republicans are on track to run on forty trillion
• 32:53
  in debt in the mid terms and forty five trillion
• 32:57
  by the end of Trump's term. Republicans are not addressing
• 32:59
  the fiscal crisis.
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: And it looks like they're going to whistle right up
• 33:03
  to the you know, and then just robber stamp another
• 33:06
  you mentioned pork and I I was in a district
• 33:10
  event and somebody was talking about, oh, there are some
• 33:12
  projects coming to the district, some big investment projects. I
• 33:16
  can't talk about them yet, claiming you know, that Congress
• 33:20
  had some credit for businesses starting up, and it really
• 33:23
  seemed like that's the master class and how we've become
• 33:26
  so broken is that businesses won't start unless the US
• 33:30
  government bucks up somehow and sends some pork their way.
• 33:35
  Is that Is that what you saw while you were there?
• 33:38
  And one of the reasons you're so you know anti pork.
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: Well, one of the lies of many members of Congress
• 33:46
  is that they have anything to do with what happens
• 33:48
  on the local or the state level that they represent.
• 33:51
  Speaker 23: You know, they are the federal representative for that particular
• 33:54
  district or that particular state, and they vote on federal policy,
• 33:59
  unless they are a liberal Republican or a Democrat that
• 34:02
  tries to bring home again spending projects back to their
• 34:05
  district to help them get re elected by spending money
• 34:08
  in the district. So the best that the Congress can
• 34:12
  and should do is to create a climate or to
• 34:14
  facilitate an atmosphere where businesses can thrive and flourish with
• 34:18
  low taxes, less regulation, less government inferenced cheap plentiful energy.
• 34:24
  That is the lifeblood of a whole business and.
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: Commerce and commercial activity in our country. And frankly, get
• 34:31
  the heck out of the way and let the businesses
• 34:33
  do what they need to do without government barriers and obstruction.
• 34:37
  That's what the best that government can do, and that's
• 34:39
  what government should do, certainly at the federal level.
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: Well, and the last question about the Medicaid money to
• 34:45
  Plan Parenthood, are you pleased to hear that at least
• 34:50
  through the court system, they're not going to allow taxpayer
• 34:53
  money to go to this abortionist.
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: Yes, obviously on pro life as you know, and I
• 34:59
  don't think any tax dollars ought to be funding abortion.
• 35:01
  It's long past time where we've defunded Planned Parenthood. But
• 35:05
  sadly in the Big Bill they only defunded it for
• 35:08
  a year ultimately, and that funding is restored after a
• 35:11
  year unless send something changes. It's only for a year.
• 35:14
  The Senate dialed it back to just a year after
• 35:16
  the House had banned it for ten years or permanent
• 35:18
  perhaps the Senate dial it back just to a year plus.
• 35:21
  There's other funding for abortion outside of Medicaid. They also
• 35:25
  come through the Children's Health Insurance program, and.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: There's other there's other fact for abortion as well.
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: It's not just in Medicaid.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: Partial, it was only partial elimination and it's only for
• 35:37
  one year.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: CHIP is funding abortions so that we don't have children that.
• 35:43
  I'm sorry. I can't go on after that. I just
• 35:46
  I'm going to have to hang up the microphone.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: After that.
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: The Children's Health Network is funding the death of babies.
• 35:54

  will be talking about the threat of China and a
• 36:16

  Speaker 6: Emails come into JT in the morning radio at gmail
• 36:31

• 36:35
  at nine Eastern time, so in about what is that
• 36:42
  eighteen minutes or so, there will be a press conference
• 36:48
  where they'll give as much detail as they can regarding
• 36:52
  the capture of this assailant. I have said with a
• 36:57
  brigadier general in the National Guard, and I said, man,
• 37:02
  that was a heck of a shot. He goes, are
• 37:03
  you kidding? He said, He said, if if one of
• 37:06
  my marksmen did that, I'd have bounced him down two ranks.
• 37:11
  He said, it was a horrible shot. He said Kirk
• 37:16
  was as unlucky as President Trump was lucky. That you know,
• 37:23
  nobody who shoots nobody apparently right, And I'm not trying
• 37:28
  to be shock jock here, but he said, nobody aims
• 37:31
  for the neck. It's the smallest part of the anatomy.
• 37:34
  So this guy either was aiming for the torso and
• 37:38
  missed badly up or was aiming for the head and
• 37:42
  missed badly down.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: And so he said, no, this was not a good shot.
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: It just was a lucky bad luck for conservatives shot
• 37:52
  there and bad luck for the Kirk family. But he said,
• 37:57
  this guy is not a great marksman.

  Speaker 9: Yeah I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42
  or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving. A message

  Speaker 10: Somebody that shows recognizes even a little tilt of the
• 44:14
  head which nobody else.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Would do for you. From Joe Thomas, it's first thing today.
• 44:20
  Speaker 11: And somebody who was very close to him said turned
• 44:23
  him in. And that happens when you had some of
• 44:25
  those good shots.
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: Somebody is going to say, whether it's a parent or whatever.
• 44:29
  Speaker 13: I'd rather not say right now.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: They're going to announce it today.
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: Sometimes I'll be in about ten minutes, there'll be a
• 44:35
  press conference from Utah nine am Eastern. The assailant, the shooter,
• 44:43
  and well, finally, hopefully and so many like Terry's text message,
• 44:48
  you know, don't put them in Jeffrey Epstein's cell.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: And the same with Butler.
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: Whatever happened to the kid from Butler, Pennsylvania?
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Why is there no information? What don't we know?
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: And why do we need to know? I'm going to
• 45:03
  ask you that one just as an abstract. Is it
• 45:07
  something that's going to change your day?
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: We talk about this sometimes in terms of you being
• 45:15
  the most local part of your radio station. Certainly if
• 45:24
  you live Salt Lake City or Provo, where you know
• 45:27
  they're carrying this, it's nice to know the guy's in
• 45:30
  custody is not going to show up in your backyard.
• 45:34
  Doesn't seem like he was intent on going after anyone
• 45:37
  but Charlie Kirk.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: But beyond that, now we need to know why people
• 45:48
  did things.
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: What if the president, What if the FBI director decides
• 45:56
  that saying, oh you know what, just just like we
• 45:59
  learned with the fellow who shot up the congressional GOP
• 46:06
  softball team nearly killed Steve Scalise, just like we learned
• 46:13
  that he had been a Bernie Sanders supporter.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: You write, you read these things.
• 46:22
  Speaker 6: It comes back to an important point that we made
• 46:25
  earlier in the program about opinion and dominion and.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: That what we've.
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: Allowed ourselves to be gasolt into is into a world
• 46:39
  where if I allow you to have a different opinion
• 46:47
  than me, that's the same as me capitulating to your opinion.
• 46:53
  I got talked to a Marxist. Anytime I have dear
• 46:56
  friends who are Democrats that believe the government should be
• 46:58
  helping poor people, ask them and bless the ones who
• 47:02
  are honest with me. I said, so, do you believe
• 47:05
  people can't take care of themselves?
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: And they say, yeah, I don't. Okay, I mean I
• 47:10
  can roll with that. My heart breaks that you're so cold.
• 47:15
  Speaker 6: About somebody's ability to take care of themselves that you
• 47:18
  don't see that they could. But we can work on
• 47:22
  that more importantly, Just like if a kid comes in
• 47:25
  and said, I hate my body, I want to be
• 47:27
  a girl, I'm not going to worry about the I
• 47:30
  want to be a girl part as much as I
• 47:32
  am I hate my body, or I hate myself or
• 47:35
  I hate who I am, because that's the broken part
• 47:39
  believing in Marxism. We all have things that we believe in,
• 47:43
  and do you believe in the thoroughness of it? Where
• 47:46
  some people will have to be arrested and taken out
• 47:48
  of the society thrown in prisons. I mentioned this text
• 47:57
  message and I wanted to get back to it. Of
• 48:00
  course I didn't this one, Dave writes in the shooter
• 48:04
  was most likely aiming at the center mass. When you're
• 48:07
  shooting downhill, you have to aim low. Well, if he
• 48:11
  even had the thought of that there, and did he
• 48:15
  have a scope? He didn't have a scope two hundred yards.
• 48:18
  I mean I've shot more than one hundred yards and
• 48:22
  two hundred yards with a scope. This quote, I think
• 48:27
  is important about the idea of dominion versus opinion, and
• 48:32
  that if somebody has a differing opinion than me, that's okay.
• 48:38
  You don't get to enact it on me. And when
• 48:40
  it becomes public policy, that's when I push back. When
• 48:44
  you tell me I can't have a business because your
• 48:46
  opinion is that we shouldn't have conservative talk radio, or
• 48:51
  your opinion is that the radio station. I'm picking on
• 48:55
  radio because it's the milieu I know the best, or
• 48:57
  I know some restaurant as well. Let's just say, your friends,
• 49:01
  I wanted to open a Souvlocki restaurant, vegan suvlaki. Let's
• 49:07
  just pick something crazy Joe's vegan, Joe's vegetarian souvlocke, you
• 49:12
  gotta have cheese and the yogurt sauce, Joe's vegetarian souvlaki.
• 49:17
  And you have a friend who you know, maybe your Greek,
• 49:20
  maybe your family's Greek. You have a friend who has
• 49:23
  a traditional souvlaki restaurant in town. And you go to
• 49:27
  the Planning Commission and say, I just wrote an ordinance
• 49:31
  that says city council has to give final approval to
• 49:34
  any new business licensing, and they're like, business, oh yeah,
• 49:40
  we also passed all businesses have to get a city
• 49:43
  council license as well, Like, oh, okay, seems like an
• 49:47
  odd thing to want to do, but you want to
• 49:48
  make extra work for yourself.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: And then a month later I.
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: Show up saying hey, I'm about to open my vegetarian
• 49:54
  souvlaki stand and they're like, all right, well, here's the forum.
• 49:59
  It's a new thing. City council has got to approve it.
• 50:01
  And I'm like, hold it. The city manager's brother runs
• 50:05
  the suvlaki place in town. I'm not going to get
• 50:07
  approved for this. That's when your opinion becomes dominion. When
• 50:14
  you take my tax money and give it to something
• 50:16
  like planned parenthood that I wouldn't give it to myself.
• 50:19
  That's your opinion has become dominion over me. But let
• 50:24
  me leave you with this. On this Friday, don't forget Saturday.
• 50:27
  We have a Saturday show I think so far. It's
• 50:31
  WRCN on Long Island, a WTN and Stanford Stanton. But
• 50:36
  you pick us up live on Saturday break Down. The
• 50:39
  news obviously have full coverage of the arrest of the shooter,
• 50:43
  but this was sent to me. When violence bursts onto
• 50:48
  the peaceful human condition, its face is flush with self assurance.
• 50:54
  It displays on its banner and proclaims, I am violence,
• 50:59
  make way, step, I will crush you. But violence ages
• 51:03
  swiftly a few years pass and is no longer sure
• 51:07
  of itself to prop itself up to appear decent, it
• 51:11
  will without fail call forth its ally lies, for violence
• 51:16
  has nothing to cover itself with but lies and lies
• 51:20
  can only persist through violence. And it is not every day,
• 51:25
  and not on every shoulder that violence brings down its
• 51:28
  heavy hand. It demands of us only a submission to
• 51:31
  the lies and a daily participation in deceit. And this
• 51:36
  suffices as our fealty. You have God gift given gifts,
• 51:46
  You have God given rights, you have God given responsibilities.
• 51:51
  Everyone forgets that, just like we forget that our seven
• 51:55
  grievous vices come with seven profound virtues. Talk about the
• 52:00
  seven virtues, not the seven vices. All your rights come
• 52:06
  with responsibilities. They are God given rights. Therefore they are
• 52:09
  God given responsibilities, including, but not limited to, thou shalt
• 52:18
  not murder. Just because you think somebody is poor and
• 52:25
  should have the government help doesn't make it dominion over me.
• 52:30
  And that's what democracy becomes, mob rule, tyranny of the minority,
• 52:41
  or as we like to call it here, democratsy until
• 52:45
  Saturday or Monday. So long and thanks for all the fish.
• 52:51
