- 0:04Speaker 1: Are you for Maybe you think Vin trumps a fast
- 0:07Speaker 1: I've spoken about That's okay, okay.
- 0:12Speaker 2: We'll do it making mornings great again. But the first
- 0:15Speaker 2: thing today on the chunk media Apple, Joe Thomas.
- 0:18Speaker 3: We'll do it long, George said, steal me.
- 0:22Speaker 4: Have a day. In case you're wondering, Please for work.
- 0:25Speaker 5: When the sun comes up, drops, Joe, is everything a dream?
- 0:32Speaker 6: All the jasure say needs no one that Joe's smiled.
- 0:37Speaker 7: He on the eggs.
- 0:42Speaker 4: Joe, bless you for letting me be of service to
- 0:45Speaker 4: you this Saturday morning water marking. So you know this
- 0:50Speaker 4: isn't another recording of something that happened on Thursday. Poking
- 0:55Speaker 4: around because they still try to sneak sally through the
- 0:57Speaker 4: alley on Friday afternoons. Anything that disquieting or uncomfortable, the
- 1:02Speaker 4: elected officials try to announce it on Friday afternoon. So
- 1:06Speaker 4: it's in the lightly read remnants of Saturday newspapers. Because
- 1:11Speaker 4: you all got honeyde lists, but more and more of
- 1:14Speaker 4: you have worked the second job or the side hustle
- 1:18Speaker 4: on your honeydee list, So pardon me, why would we
- 1:24Speaker 4: be any different? You know, we had to get your
- 1:26Speaker 4: day started on Tuesday, so your day's got to get
- 1:30Speaker 4: started on Tedsday and Thursday and Saturday as well. So
- 1:34Speaker 4: here we are for you along the talk media network
- 1:37Speaker 4: blasting out of Central Virginia where we originally blasted the
- 1:41Speaker 4: whole idea that there's a governing system that can take
- 1:45Speaker 4: John Locke's words. We hold these truths to be self evident.
- 1:50Speaker 4: All men are created equal, and you are so by
- 1:53Speaker 4: dialing in telling us how the news of the day
- 1:56Speaker 4: is impacting you. For I'm fair. Is fair? First, I'll
- 1:59Speaker 4: tell you what went on last night, and then we
- 2:02Speaker 4: can discuss at four three, four eight eight, two four
- 2:05Speaker 4: to two one seven. MTG is out, I mean out
- 2:12Speaker 4: of political office. I will lay and I'm not a
- 2:16Speaker 4: gambling guy. I really am not. I lost a bet
- 2:22Speaker 4: when I was in my tween years that had me
- 2:24Speaker 4: delivering penny sabers for six months to pay it off,
- 2:29Speaker 4: and that was my life lesson in betting on things
- 2:32Speaker 4: I have no control over. But I would put a wager.
- 2:36Speaker 4: I would put odds down that you'll see her behind
- 2:40Speaker 4: a desk as a commentator on My money would be
- 2:45Speaker 4: on CNN. She's been hanging with Caitlyn Collins a lot
- 2:50Speaker 4: working on her resting smug face so she can look
- 2:53Speaker 4: like Caitlyn Collins blonde cousin, and they really need a
- 2:59Speaker 4: better looking version of Denver Riggleman, the former of Virginia
- 3:03Speaker 4: Republican and Kinsinger is just I mean, he's Kinsinger. I mean,
- 3:09Speaker 4: you might as well just start a show calling it Kinsinger.
- 3:12Speaker 4: He doesn't have to have to be on it. It
- 3:13Speaker 4: can just be uncomfortable things to listen to and to watch.
- 3:18Speaker 4: But I'm pretty sure she'll be part of the commentariat
- 3:23Speaker 4: most likely. Like I said, if I was a wagering fella,
- 3:27Speaker 4: I'd be putting it on CNN. So fear not, you'll
- 3:30Speaker 4: be hearing probably a lot more than you wanted to
- 3:33Speaker 4: from Marjorie Taylor Green in the near future. However, she
- 3:38Speaker 4: opens a reasonable can of worms. And because we're those people,
- 3:45Speaker 4: we're those people that come to Thanksgiving dinner. Yeah, I
- 3:49Speaker 4: hope your bird's thawing, and we're a vegetarian family and
- 3:52Speaker 4: I've got a big old turkey in my fridge thawing,
- 3:56Speaker 4: just because not everyone is a vegetarian in my family,
- 4:00Speaker 4: so it will be presented. But as Thanksgiving comes, we
- 4:04Speaker 4: are those people that will talk about this stuff, and
- 4:07Speaker 4: we will because it's disquieting, but it's interesting, or at
- 4:10Speaker 4: least I think I'll make it interesting. You do the same,
- 4:13Speaker 4: but our first things. Chris Mays, Arizona Attorney General, announced
- 4:18Speaker 4: Friday afternoon she's going to appeal a ruling that came
- 4:21Speaker 4: down in springtime, where in the case of eleven citizens
- 4:27Speaker 4: that had agreed to stand by as electors for the
- 4:30Speaker 4: GOP in the event that the results of Arizona's twenty
- 4:33Speaker 4: twenty presidential election were changed. She's asking the Arizona Supreme
- 4:38Speaker 4: Court to overturn the lower court ruling that came down
- 4:41Speaker 4: in May, saying that she must send the case back
- 4:44Speaker 4: to the grand jury. Why because she never read or
- 4:48Speaker 4: presented the text of the Electoral count Act of eighteen
- 4:53Speaker 4: eighty seven to the grand jurors. You think that might
- 4:56Speaker 4: have been important. We mentioned. Marjorie Taylor Green announced she
- 4:59Speaker 4: is designing her seat in Congress effective January fifth, blaming
- 5:04Speaker 4: the political industrial complex using pawn's Americans as pawns in
- 5:09Speaker 4: an endless game of division. ABC News posted on next
- 5:13Speaker 4: that they were speaking by president by phone to President
- 5:17Speaker 4: Trump and asked about Green's resignation. He said, I think
- 5:20Speaker 4: it's great news for the country. Governor Brian Kemp of
- 5:25Speaker 4: Georgia will issue a writ of election and an order
- 5:28Speaker 4: for a special election to fill her seat. The election
- 5:31Speaker 4: will happen between thirty and sixty days after Green's resignation.
- 5:36Speaker 4: More trouble for the Georgia congressional delegation as the House
- 5:40Speaker 4: of Representatives Committee on Ethics announced an investigation into Congressman
- 5:45Speaker 4: Mike Collins of Georgia and his chief of staff, Brandon Phillips.
- 5:50Speaker 4: Per statement Friday identical statements from Chairman Michael Guest of
- 5:55Speaker 4: Mississippi Republican and ranking Democrat Mark Dessler Saunier of California.
- 6:02Speaker 4: I'm sorry I should have read that before I got
- 6:04Speaker 4: to it. The Committee on Ethics has extended the matter
- 6:06Speaker 4: of regarding Representative Collins on misconduct. On October seventh, twenty
- 6:13Speaker 4: twenty five, President Donald Trump Friday evening said he was
- 6:17Speaker 4: ending deportation protections for Somali's in Minnesota effective, immediately pointing
- 6:24Speaker 4: to corruption under Minnesota Governor Tim Walls. Multiple police officers
- 6:30Speaker 4: were attacked, including one who was injured, while responding to
- 6:33Speaker 4: a shooting in Chicago Friday in which five victims were
- 6:36Speaker 4: shot The incident happened near State and Randolph around ten pm.
- 6:41Speaker 4: Alderman Brian Hopkins of the Second Ward says at least
- 6:44Speaker 4: five people were shot, and you heard the clip. Mayor
- 6:48Speaker 4: elect Zorhan Mamdani was asked if he thought President Trump
- 6:52Speaker 4: was still a fascist. Trump later said, we have more
- 6:56Speaker 4: in common than I would have thought.
- 7:01Speaker 8: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
- 7:04Speaker 8: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
- 7:07Speaker 8: to look into, and that's meta Share. Maybe you've heard
- 7:10Speaker 8: joining meta share can save you or your family up
- 7:13Speaker 8: to five hundred bucks a month, and.
- 7:15Speaker 3: That's huge, but it's also true. People are just happier
- 7:17Speaker 3: with it.
- 7:18Speaker 8: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes their.
- 7:21Speaker 3: Values and what they believe in.
- 7:23Speaker 4: Meta Share works too.
- 7:24Speaker 8: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
- 7:27Speaker 8: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
- 7:31Speaker 8: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.

- 8:03Speaker 9: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 9: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 9: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 9:58Speaker 11: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah. It's always a boy growing
- 10:01Speaker 11: up on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 11: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 11: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 11: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 11: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 11: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:17Speaker 11: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 11: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 11: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:25Speaker 11: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 11: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 11: perform life saving work every day.
- 10:34Speaker 6: Dogs keep us.
- 10:35Speaker 12: Safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 11: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
- 10:39Speaker 11: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:41Speaker 11: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44Speaker 11: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
- 10:47Speaker 11: in need. So please join me an American Humane and

- 13:18Speaker 2: From Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
- 13:21Speaker 12: Mango only pond in Game of Life. H m hmmm,
- 13:46Speaker 12: So what we do here?
- 13:47Speaker 4: What you you? You've expected less? When Marjorie Taylor Green
- 13:52Speaker 4: says we're all just pawns. I'm not gonna go get
- 13:55Speaker 4: my mango clipping. It's so the Marjorie Taylor Green esoterica,
- 14:04Speaker 4: It really is. It's but it's going to be a
- 14:07Speaker 4: consuming esoterica. It is going to be the thing that
- 14:12Speaker 4: the people around you are going to want to talk
- 14:14Speaker 4: to you about, especially if they know who you voted
- 14:17Speaker 4: for for president in twenty twenty four, twenty twenty twenty sixteen,
- 14:22Speaker 4: even and especially if you have friends who voted for
- 14:29Speaker 4: someone else for president, They're going to be in your
- 14:32Speaker 4: face about, oh, Marjorie Taylor Green, what about that? Mister
- 14:36Speaker 4: Maga man and Marjorie Taylor Green has staked out a
- 14:40Speaker 4: claim of popularity on being the voice of MAGA, claiming
- 14:45Speaker 4: that Donald Trump has abandoned MAGA because he acknowledges that
- 14:49Speaker 4: other countries on the planet exist and that somehow that
- 14:52Speaker 4: wasn't part of making America great again. I worry about
- 14:57Speaker 4: her that she's been co opted by the the factions,
- 15:02Speaker 4: the dumpster arsonists like Nick Fuentes and Charlottesville's arsonist of
- 15:09Speaker 4: twenty seventeen, all working for David Duke to make America
- 15:14Speaker 4: white again. And I don't know if she necessarily understands
- 15:19Speaker 4: that or if she's just chasing the clickbait, because you know,
- 15:24Speaker 4: the trouble with politicians, the trouble with elected officials, it
- 15:27Speaker 4: has been my personal experience, is that with rare exceptions,
- 15:32Speaker 4: they're chasing popularity and have really no idea what the
- 15:36Speaker 4: plan is, so they they truly become like cats chasing
- 15:41Speaker 4: a laser pointer whatever appears to be popular at the moment.
- 15:45Speaker 4: Over there whoa woo with claws out most of the time,
- 15:57Speaker 4: And I wish it was with deeper purpose, but it's
- 16:00Speaker 4: just to be in office. It is my precious. Tom Garrett,
- 16:04Speaker 4: former congressman now member of Virginia's House, has told me
- 16:09Speaker 4: on numerous occasions. That button, that lapel pin, which is
- 16:14Speaker 4: by the way, changes every Congress, so that there's it's
- 16:17Speaker 4: their security pass. I mean, that is their lanyard to
- 16:21Speaker 4: get into the house. That's how you get into the
- 16:25Speaker 4: Capitol building. You have one of those precious pins on
- 16:29Speaker 4: your blouse or hanging in a necklace like Marjorie Taylor
- 16:32Speaker 4: Green usually does, or in your lapel and they treat
- 16:37Speaker 4: it like Gollum treated the one ring Nie Pressous. And
- 16:47Speaker 4: that's what it's all about. It's being there, because being
- 16:50Speaker 4: there means you're important enough to have people contribute money
- 16:54Speaker 4: to And it's not even about having or collecting the money.
- 17:00Speaker 4: I mean, at some point Nancy Pelosi and her husband
- 17:03Speaker 4: Paul have enough money to pay for his medical expenses
- 17:06Speaker 4: when some guy comes to them, Hey, hey, we know
- 17:09Speaker 4: just about as much about the guy that attacked Paul
- 17:12Speaker 4: Pelosi as we do about the guy who shot at
- 17:15Speaker 4: the president. Funny that, but it's about the power to
- 17:22Speaker 4: move money to other people. That's what the precious is about,
- 17:27Speaker 4: the power to move money to other people. And so
- 17:35Speaker 4: Marjorie Taylor Green making this, do we have the clip?
- 17:38Speaker 4: You know it's we're a news program. We probably should
- 17:41Speaker 4: play her statement, at least some of it until you know,
- 17:44Speaker 4: I feel my breakfast getting you know. But this is
- 17:46Speaker 4: her statement yesterday.
- 17:48Speaker 15: Corporate and global interests remain Washington sweethearts, American jobs. Hi everyone,
- 17:55Speaker 15: I've always represented the common American man and woman as
- 17:58Speaker 15: a member of the House of Representatives, which is why
- 18:00Speaker 15: I've always been despised in Washington, DC and just.
- 18:04Speaker 4: Never fit in which, by the way, I want to
- 18:08Speaker 4: call Bovine excrement on from the get go. One of
- 18:12Speaker 4: the few people that has remained friends with me post
- 18:15Speaker 4: office ex officio is somebody who she went to war
- 18:20Speaker 4: with just a couple of years ago, was just on
- 18:25Speaker 4: the program yesterday. I wish I had known she was
- 18:27Speaker 4: going to quit yesterday. I would have asked former Congressman
- 18:31Speaker 4: Bob Good about it, because she tossed him under the
- 18:36Speaker 4: boss from the House Freedom Caucus. The first group she
- 18:40Speaker 4: left was the House Freedom Caucus because she sided with
- 18:44Speaker 4: Kevin McCarthy, Speaker of the House, hitched her wagon to
- 18:47Speaker 4: the wrong guy. Is short term wrong guy. I mean
- 18:52Speaker 4: he's now an FOT, a friend of Trump's, an advisor,
- 18:59Speaker 4: a contributor to primary campaigns to oust people from Congress.
- 19:03Speaker 4: But Kevin McCarthy, Speaker of the House at the time.
- 19:06Speaker 4: His one big ally if you remember back to the
- 19:09Speaker 4: time when there was a battle over who was going
- 19:12Speaker 4: to be speaker, because the rules of the House said
- 19:15Speaker 4: that you could have a vote of no confidence with
- 19:18Speaker 4: the speaker, and the House Freedom Concuss Andy Biggs and
- 19:22Speaker 4: Chip Roy and Bob Good, who was chair at the time,
- 19:28Speaker 4: brought the issue to the form, said we don't believe
- 19:31Speaker 4: that Kevin McCarthy should be Speaker of the House. And
- 19:36Speaker 4: Marjorie Taylor Green was the first and loudest and most notable,
- 19:42Speaker 4: not just because she's better looking than Kevin McCarthy or
- 19:45Speaker 4: Andy Biggs, but you know, not necessarily your taste, I
- 19:49Speaker 4: get it, but you got to be objective about this stuff.
- 19:52Speaker 4: But also that she was a House Freedom Concaus Volumus
- 19:57Speaker 4: member who turned on them and said, no, I'm with
- 20:00Speaker 4: Kevin McCarthy. And I said, even then, I said, that's
- 20:02Speaker 4: a political move. I mean, that's house of cards one
- 20:05Speaker 4: oh one. I believe Kevin McCarthy is going to be
- 20:08Speaker 4: more powerful in the long run, so I'm going to
- 20:13Speaker 4: hitch my wagon to Kevin McCarthy. And that's a bigger
- 20:18Speaker 4: abandonment than Donald Trump, because Kevin McCarthy advises Donald Trump.
- 20:23Speaker 4: Kevin McCarthy told Donald Trump to endorse Bob Good's opponent
- 20:28Speaker 4: in Virginia's congressional race that he was running in, and
- 20:31Speaker 4: he did, and Bob lost, and Kevin McCarthy, I will
- 20:36Speaker 4: be most assured, has turned on Marjorie Taylor Green. Now,
- 20:43Speaker 4: what was the line from Animal House Otters. Uncle's car
- 20:50Speaker 4: is ruined in the garage and d Day is looking
- 20:53Speaker 4: at parts he can cut off of it and flounder. Yeah,
- 21:01Speaker 4: it was flounder, not others. Flounder. You beeped up. You
- 21:06Speaker 4: trusted us. And that's Marjorie's biggest problem. She's hitching her
- 21:11Speaker 4: wagons to other people rather than doing her own thing
- 21:14Speaker 4: and flying her own plane, which is always my consult
- 21:18Speaker 4: to people. Fly your own damn plane.
- 21:21Speaker 15: Corporate and global interests remain Washington's sweethearts. Americans are used
- 21:27Speaker 15: by the political industrial complex of both political parties election
- 21:31Speaker 15: cycle after election cycle in order to elect whichever side
- 21:35Speaker 15: can convince Americans to hate the other side more.
- 21:38Speaker 4: Now, she's not wrong in this. I mean there's squeezing
- 21:41Speaker 4: some truthiness out.
- 21:42Speaker 15: Of hers and the results are always the same no
- 21:45Speaker 15: matter which way the political pendulum swings, Republican or Democrat,

- 24:07Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 24:12Speaker 9: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:11Speaker 2: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
- 28:14Speaker 2: Joe Thomas, as.
- 28:18Speaker 6: Long as you got.
- 28:22Speaker 4: How I am.
- 28:28Speaker 15: On the air, what's on your mind?
- 28:35Speaker 4: And here's what makes us different. Somebody asked me, you
- 28:38Speaker 4: know what a most special about your show that we
- 28:41Speaker 4: should put you on. You know so and so is
- 28:43Speaker 4: on this mega network and Zone SOEs on this mega network.
- 28:47Speaker 4: I'm not here for kissing took us. I mean, I
- 28:52Speaker 4: respect and and you know, I am honored by the
- 28:55Speaker 4: association of the people who own this network. But I
- 29:00Speaker 4: you know, if they called me tomorrow and said, you
- 29:02Speaker 4: know it was fun, I'll miss you. But you know,
- 29:09Speaker 4: I'm not going to change who we are or the
- 29:12Speaker 4: analysis that we make into the news because it's about
- 29:15Speaker 4: you and so to bash as somebody would has already
- 29:21Speaker 4: accused me of Marjorie Taylor Green for a decision, while
- 29:25Speaker 4: her decision and her speech that she gave yesterday recorded,
- 29:30Speaker 4: of course, is disingenuous in many parts. There are truthy
- 29:35Speaker 4: bits that we need to examine, and one of them
- 29:39Speaker 4: is what is maga? But there's other stories and we
- 29:43Speaker 4: can get into that. You can dial in smiling and
- 29:46Speaker 4: dial in at four three, four eight eight two four
- 29:50Speaker 4: two one seven. Text messages as well, like this one
- 29:53Speaker 4: Marjorie Taylor Green not sure what she was ever fighting for.
- 29:56Speaker 4: Instead of being a representative of her constituents, she has
- 30:00Speaker 4: to read from cards. This one, I've got Marjorie Taylor
- 30:07Speaker 4: Green as having already inked deal for Morning with Marjorie
- 30:11Speaker 4: on MSNBC The Today Show. Trump is a misogynist pig.
- 30:17Speaker 4: She's entered the transfer portal. Oh, there's a college football
- 30:20Speaker 4: fan and it might be more lucrative. I mean, George
- 30:25Speaker 4: snuffle up Against could have stayed in politics, but ABC said,
- 30:29Speaker 4: how about we make you are since Sunday Morning anchor,
- 30:32Speaker 4: And I'll bet you George snuffle up Against makes more
- 30:35Speaker 4: money in a week doing what is it ABC This Morning?
- 30:40Speaker 4: Now he's you know, the Charles Gibson replacement whatever, you know,
- 30:45Speaker 4: handing off lines to former football players like Michael Strahan.
- 30:52Speaker 4: But I'm sure he makes more money, if that's all
- 30:55Speaker 4: you're chasing, in a week, than he did as speech
- 30:58Speaker 4: writer for Bill Clinton, despite the fact that it was
- 31:03Speaker 4: Bill Clinton's speeches that overturned an entire political party. I mean,
- 31:08Speaker 4: if you would go back and look at the war
- 31:10Speaker 4: Room movie, not not the not the Steve Bannon Show,
- 31:15Speaker 4: but the documentary on Bill Clinton's campaign, his insurgency, you
- 31:20Speaker 4: can watch Primary Colors too. That's a fun kind of
- 31:25Speaker 4: fictionalization of it. I mean, they throw a few people together,
- 31:29Speaker 4: but Billy Bob Thornton as James Carville is priceless in
- 31:33Speaker 4: that movie. In Travolta as Clinton, and how I forget
- 31:39Speaker 4: the actress's name used to be married to. Kenneth Bronna
- 31:42Speaker 4: as Hillary was just you know, great in that fictionalization
- 31:48Speaker 4: of the primary. But that being said, if you go
- 31:54Speaker 4: back and look at the documentary that that gives us
- 31:56Speaker 4: the phrase, it's the economist stupid. You see how these
- 32:02Speaker 4: young Turks where the phrase comes from, snuffle up against
- 32:07Speaker 4: and Terry mccauliffe, and you know, James Carville all came
- 32:14Speaker 4: together and said, well, they told us we can't win
- 32:17Speaker 4: because we're rubes from the sticks. Let's let's go give
- 32:21Speaker 4: him a great big ruben to eat. So that's but again,
- 32:28Speaker 4: it's about money, Clinton, and that whole tree is about
- 32:31Speaker 4: being close to a place where you can move money.
- 32:34Speaker 4: Whitewater is a great example of this, and kids, if
- 32:38Speaker 4: you don't know what Whitewater is, Whitewater is more important
- 32:42Speaker 4: than blue dress, although Republicans became more fixated with blue
- 32:46Speaker 4: Dress than Whitewater. Whitewater was where the governor of Arkansas
- 32:51Speaker 4: used his position and his authority and the bureaucracy at
- 32:55Speaker 4: his beck and call to make money for himself and
- 32:58Speaker 4: his friends, the McDougall's. But that's enough with that, so
- 33:01Speaker 4: we'll get to Oh, my wife just texted in she's
- 33:05Speaker 4: up early this morning. Emma Thompson was the one who
- 33:08Speaker 4: played Missus Stanton in the movie Primary Colors. Thank you, sweetee,
- 33:13Speaker 4: I love you. Uh did new Yuro up this early? Now?
- 33:17Speaker 4: I got to watch myself. Now the pressure's on, let
- 33:20Speaker 4: me get to you. I'm gonna I'm gonna hide behind
- 33:22Speaker 4: the callers now if I know my wife's listening. Good morning,
- 33:24Speaker 4: You're on the air first thing this morning with Joe Thomas.
- 33:26Speaker 4: Who's this?
- 33:28Speaker 12: Hey Joe?
- 33:28Speaker 4: Good morning, Hey Joel. How are you doing, my friend?
- 33:32Speaker 22: I'm okay, I'm still job hunt. It's I'm pretty dawn.
- 33:36Speaker 12: I don't know.
- 33:37Speaker 22: Everybody's excited about Thanksgiving and Christmas.
- 33:39Speaker 4: Well, now hang on a second here, you know, so
- 33:42Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm gonna put my Tony Robbins teeth in
- 33:45Speaker 4: for a second here, hang on. Ah, Okay, now, And
- 33:50Speaker 4: I know you called about something else, and we can
- 33:52Speaker 4: talk about that in a minute. But but this is
- 33:54Speaker 4: for everybody, not just you, Joel. You know, how you
- 33:59Speaker 4: feel is a self fulfilling prophecy. So if you go
- 34:04Speaker 4: into an interview and I have done this before, you know,
- 34:09Speaker 4: not expecting to you know, get the job or be liked,
- 34:14Speaker 4: or you know, not feeling like you deserve that job,
- 34:18Speaker 4: You're not going to get it. And and and I'm
- 34:20Speaker 4: not saying this to be mean. I'm saying this the
- 34:22Speaker 4: way you know, a cool cousin would would tell, you know,
- 34:26Speaker 4: a family member at Thanksgiving dinner, you've got to go
- 34:30Speaker 4: in say damn it, I am the best nurse for
- 34:32Speaker 4: this job. I'm going to save more lives. I'm going
- 34:35Speaker 4: to you know, make the hospital more esteemed in the community.
- 34:39Speaker 4: And and you're you're going to be six inches taller
- 34:42Speaker 4: and a better dancer for hiring me, darn it. And
- 34:45Speaker 4: if you can get me and I'm not and I'm
- 34:48Speaker 4: not saying you necessarily after being beat up the way
- 34:50Speaker 4: you have been. And I know a little bit about
- 34:52Speaker 4: Joel's background and the medical profession, uh and how COVID
- 34:56Speaker 4: and you know, DEI and all that stuff has done
- 34:59Speaker 4: him dirty. But I'm saying you can't let that become you.
- 35:04Speaker 4: You have to. You have to even if you fake
- 35:07Speaker 4: it till you make it, you have to go in
- 35:11Speaker 4: saying darn it, I am the best person. And if
- 35:14Speaker 4: you don't hire me, well then I'm better off not
- 35:16Speaker 4: working for you, because you're obviously not very smart. You
- 35:19Speaker 4: have to have that belief. You have to because if
- 35:22Speaker 4: you don't believe that, the person on the other side
- 35:25Speaker 4: of the HR desk is never going to believe you either.
- 35:29Speaker 4: And that's not just for you, Joel, that's for anyone
- 35:32Speaker 4: anyone doing anything. If you don't believe you can do it,
- 35:35Speaker 4: you're not gonna And I'm not saying belief is the
- 35:38Speaker 4: only thing you have to have, because there's plenty of
- 35:40Speaker 4: people who believe they can do what they want to
- 35:43Speaker 4: do and they don't the first time out. But without it, you're,
- 35:48Speaker 4: what's the expression, You're behind the eight ball and you're
- 35:51Speaker 4: never going to get out in front of it. So anyway,
- 35:53Speaker 4: I'm just as somebody who hears from you a lot,
- 35:56Speaker 4: and I hear it in your voice. I want you
- 35:58Speaker 4: to understand, your intellect is great, your your your empathy
- 36:04Speaker 4: is great. And and any hospital that's too dumb to
- 36:09Speaker 4: hire you, or any any medical facility, anyone who does
- 36:12Speaker 4: medical care in Florida that isn't smart enough to see
- 36:15Speaker 4: that is is loser is run by you know, Humera
- 36:21Speaker 4: Loser Incorporated. But you have to believe that too. You
- 36:25Speaker 4: have to believe that before you can convince anyone else
- 36:29Speaker 4: to Anyway, soapbox away, Tony Robbins teeth out, uh, And
- 36:33Speaker 4: I know you called about other stuff, but I just
- 36:36Speaker 4: I felt like, you know, everyone needs that, and it's
- 36:40Speaker 4: not just you. Everyone needs to hear that sometimes.
- 36:43Speaker 22: Well, thank you, I appreciate it. I went in yesterday,
- 36:46Speaker 22: I was pretty confident, but I just I don't know,
- 36:50Speaker 22: if it's good where they go. Well, we still have
- 36:53Speaker 22: a few other people to interview and thanksgivings coming up
- 36:57Speaker 22: that maybe at the end of the week or the first.
- 37:00Speaker 4: Yeah, that's hard.
- 37:01Speaker 22: I think this is going on three months and I
- 37:03Speaker 22: know I don't even have unemployment coming in.
- 37:06Speaker 4: Well, but you know, that statement is sort of a
- 37:08Speaker 4: pat statement there. Most human resources places, if they're a
- 37:13Speaker 4: big organization, are not going to hire you on the spot.
- 37:16Speaker 4: The only places I've ever been hired on the spot
- 37:19Speaker 4: are smaller radio groups, you know, usually a mom and
- 37:23Speaker 4: pop kind of like the one my wife and I own.
- 37:25Speaker 4: We hire people kind of on the spot. If we
- 37:28Speaker 4: like you, we hire you and say, yeah, you're hired.
- 37:30Speaker 4: Let's let's do this brutus because we ain't new to this.
- 37:34Speaker 4: But the bigger, the bigger organizations they have they have
- 37:37Speaker 4: meetings and they have hierarchies and all that stuff. But
- 37:41Speaker 4: you know, sometimes it's just a matter of being creative.
- 37:46Speaker 4: And I and I mentioned this. Florida does not have
- 37:48Speaker 4: a shortage of nurses, but there are states near Georgia.
- 37:52Speaker 4: Go live in Marjorie Taylor Greens District. They need they
- 37:54Speaker 4: need nurses like crazy up in the peach state there.
- 37:58Speaker 4: But wherever you'll find it, you will, but you gotta believe.

- 41:08Speaker 14: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 41:12Speaker 14: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a

- 41:24Speaker 14: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:28Speaker 14: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

- 44:14Speaker 2: Question First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by
- 44:19Speaker 2: Joe Thomas.
- 44:20Speaker 4: Hey, when we ran to commercial Joel, I was, you know,
- 44:23Speaker 4: just I'm sorry to get all Tony Robbins on you there.
- 44:27Speaker 4: You know the secret asking to getting good answers is
- 44:30Speaker 4: asking good questions. I get it, and I feel you know,
- 44:32Speaker 4: I'm not picking on Tony specifically a couple of text messages.
- 44:36Speaker 4: You know, he's a friend of drums. You know, he's
- 44:39Speaker 4: just the avatar of that industry. I grew up in
- 44:42Speaker 4: the eighties. Eighty five percent of all the bookstores in
- 44:47Speaker 4: my twenties and my formative teens were full of self
- 44:52Speaker 4: help books. Seven behaviors of highly effective digestive systems and
- 45:00Speaker 4: who cut the cheese? And Tony Robbins was everywhere he
- 45:03Speaker 4: was on TV more than the televangelists were, for heaven's sake.
- 45:07Speaker 4: But Joel, thank you for hanging on the line. And
- 45:09Speaker 4: so what was it you actually called about?
- 45:14Speaker 22: Okay, thanks, I appreciate it. Anyways, I wanted to bring
- 45:17Speaker 22: this up. I wanted to bring this up, and I
- 45:20Speaker 22: don't know, you know, I talked about brand loyalty, and
- 45:23Speaker 22: I talked about how how a representative, a congressman or
- 45:28Speaker 22: congresswoman or a senator should be part of their constituency.
- 45:33Speaker 22: And I know you've talked about having more more in
- 45:36Speaker 22: there to represent the population, but you're you're that one person. Okay,
- 45:41Speaker 22: we don't have that change, but you're that one person
- 45:44Speaker 22: that's supposed to be part of that representation. And I
- 45:47Speaker 22: would say, probably about and this goes for both sides,
- 45:50Speaker 22: about maybe seventy five percent of the people in there
- 45:54Speaker 22: are more worried about themselves getting re elected than doing
- 45:58Speaker 22: their job. And it's disgusting. And there's a lot of
- 46:03Speaker 22: people that like, well, that's what you're supposed to do
- 46:06Speaker 22: when you're in your job. But no, what you're supposed
- 46:09Speaker 22: to do is you're not handling your own money. You're
- 46:12Speaker 22: handling the people's money. I mean, look at let's go
- 46:16Speaker 22: to Minnesota, right, And I'm not trying to be add
- 46:19Speaker 22: but all these people in Minnesota and goofball. Tim Walls
- 46:26Speaker 22: knew about where this money is going to. Now is
- 46:28Speaker 22: he going to be liable for that? Is a governor
- 46:31Speaker 22: and any of those people that were connected to that,
- 46:34Speaker 22: because that's federal those are federal funds.
- 46:37Speaker 4: Well, and there is a law and I go back
- 46:40Speaker 4: to when Michael Mann first drew up his hockey stick
- 46:43Speaker 4: graft and made it the cornerstone of climate change. There's
- 46:48Speaker 4: a pretty good idea that he did it at the
- 46:50Speaker 4: University of Virginia if he didn't take that research and
- 46:54Speaker 4: do it at the University of Penn State University in
- 46:57Speaker 4: State College, both institutions. I know a lot of people
- 47:00Speaker 4: at There's a little law that the Attorney General of Virginia,
- 47:05Speaker 4: Ken Couchinelli, once tried to you know, investigate. It was
- 47:09Speaker 4: called the Fraud Against Taxpayers Act. Have you ever heard
- 47:12Speaker 4: of it?
- 47:14Speaker 12: Oh?
- 47:14Speaker 22: I haven't, but it sounds like it's pretty legit.
- 47:16Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's one of those laws that exists
- 47:19Speaker 4: for this very reason. If you're out there, you know,
- 47:22Speaker 4: passing money through to you know, and it doesn't matter
- 47:25Speaker 4: which side you're passing it to iff and Lord only
- 47:28Speaker 4: knows the press. If you caught, you know, government money
- 47:31Speaker 4: going to Americans for prosperity, you'd never hear the end
- 47:36Speaker 4: of it. But you watch this money go to Black
- 47:38Speaker 4: Lives Matter or Act Blue, or teachers unions, the ANYA
- 47:44Speaker 4: and these kind of things. I mean, this money laundering
- 47:47Speaker 4: in the worst sort of way. But it's also, as
- 47:49Speaker 4: you said, fraud against taxpayers.
- 47:52Speaker 22: And the other part of it, Joe, is as you
- 47:54Speaker 22: have these rogue judges that are going around that are
- 47:59Speaker 22: that are interpreting law instead of actually, you know, to
- 48:03Speaker 22: their own benefit, instead of actually applying the application of
- 48:07Speaker 22: what the law represents. And and and I don't know
- 48:10Speaker 22: if I'm saying that correctly in illegal manner. Well, but
- 48:13Speaker 22: but they're but they're not, they're not. They're doing it
- 48:16Speaker 22: as as a subjective opinion instead of opinion based off
- 48:20Speaker 22: of that statute.
- 48:22Speaker 4: Yes, and they're doing it because they want to be
- 48:25Speaker 4: the one, as I said, you know, at the controls,
- 48:28Speaker 4: at the tiller of where the money is getting moved
- 48:31Speaker 4: to and and people say, well, the system's broken, Joe.
- 48:35Speaker 4: The system never considered a federal government that had this
- 48:39Speaker 4: kind of money laundering potential. I guess we should have.
- 48:44Speaker 4: If there was a blind spot, they should have put
- 48:46Speaker 4: tighter controls in it, more clarity in the commerce clause,
- 48:51Speaker 4: which is really the the the essential corruption is that
- 48:55Speaker 4: they believe the Commerce Clause gives them the authority to
- 48:58Speaker 4: regulate all of these things because the definition of regulate
- 49:02Speaker 4: has become different. And if I'm holding the regulator and
- 49:06Speaker 4: you want to be deregulated, give me a little money
- 49:08Speaker 4: and I'll let you through a little bit more. It's
- 49:12Speaker 4: it's human nature, and that's why we have to take
- 49:15Speaker 4: the corruptibility out of it.
- 49:19Speaker 22: And we talk about vetting people who are coming in
- 49:22Speaker 22: Jesus country that are non citizens, But why don't we
- 49:25Speaker 22: vet our congressmen and congresswomen and senators before they become
- 49:31Speaker 22: in that position.
- 49:32Speaker 4: Well, we try to, and you know, and I will
- 49:35Speaker 4: defend I mean a lot of these folks, and I
- 49:38Speaker 4: have changed over time, Joel. I used to be one
- 49:41Speaker 4: of those guys that said, I don't care about character,
- 49:43Speaker 4: I want to talk about record. You know because every
- 49:47Speaker 4: greasy snake oil salesman comes under the campaign saying I
- 49:51Speaker 4: don't want to make this about personality. I want to
- 49:53Speaker 4: make this about my record. No, because your record isn't
- 49:58Speaker 4: the one who's sitting in the dark Congression in a
- 50:00Speaker 4: office being buttonholed by some special interest group from K Street.
- 50:05Speaker 4: You're And this is why when President Trump says he
- 50:07Speaker 4: wants term limits, I want term limits on these career politicians,
- 50:13Speaker 4: like the other guy from Georgia that's in trouble with
- 50:17Speaker 4: the House Ethics Committee, a an oxymoronic group if there
- 50:20Speaker 4: is one. It's like the Senate Intelligence Committee. But this guy,
- 50:25Speaker 4: Mike Collins and his it's his chief of staff, really
- 50:28Speaker 4: Brandon Phillips. But who knows? Did you vote? If you're
- 50:32Speaker 4: in Georgia for Brandon Phillips, who knew who he was?
- 50:36Speaker 4: But he he may bring your congressman down because he's
- 50:39Speaker 4: you know, he was playing fast and loose with truth. Uh.
- 50:42Speaker 4: And if and if you get if you get dragged
- 50:44Speaker 4: in front of the House Ethics Committee, man, you've got
- 50:47Speaker 4: to have done something pretty egregious to embarrass some people. Anyway, Joel,
- 50:51Speaker 4: hang in there, my friend, you know, and think about
- 50:54Speaker 4: what I said, because I mean this is I've had
- 50:57Speaker 4: my plenty my fair share of job interviews.
- 51:03Speaker 22: Thanks Jo, I appreciate it.
- 51:04Speaker 4: And you as well. The same goes for you if
- 51:08Speaker 4: you're in that position, because we all have those moments
- 51:10Speaker 4: that kind of feeling like, oh, what am I going
- 51:12Speaker 4: to do today? Son's going to come up in a
- 51:15Speaker 4: couple of minutes. It actually is, my gosh, seven o'clock
- 51:19Speaker 4: already Eastern seaboard. Time we come back. I want to
- 51:23Speaker 4: talk about, speaking of judges, I'm going to tell you
- 51:26Speaker 4: the story of a smart judge, a good judge, judge
- 51:28Speaker 4: who did what they were supposed to do in Arizona.
- 51:35Speaker 4: And they're screaming, yelling about this. But Brandon Phillips is
- 51:39Speaker 4: the chief of staff of this Collins guy, and you
- 51:43Speaker 4: know he's been around the block a bunch of times,
- 51:47Speaker 4: and so he made apparently a phony blooney AI generated
- 51:51Speaker 4: ad defaming Jack oss Off, the Senator, because Collins wants
- 51:56Speaker 4: to run against him. If if you can't find enough
- 52:01Speaker 4: actual footage of Jack ass Off misrepresenting the people of Georgia,
- 52:07Speaker 4: I mean, my goodness, how how lazy does somebody? I mean,
- 52:11Speaker 4: this guy, Brandon Phillips's chief of staff needs to go
- 52:14Speaker 4: simply for egregious sloth. Because you know as much as
- 52:22Speaker 4: you know, the senators from Georgia are hot messes. You
- 52:30Speaker 4: have plenty of material just in the statements Jack os
- 52:33Speaker 4: Off has made as senator to use against him in
- 52:38Speaker 4: campaign ads. You don't need to use AI generated the nonsense,
- 52:44Speaker 4: and he needs to be punished just to stop this
- 52:47Speaker 4: AI generated nonsense of no other reason.
- 52:51Speaker 6: My name is Bobby.
