"Good Morning From WTF Radio!" (Saturday September 27, 2025, Hour 1) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:00
Speaker 1: We'll do it.
0:05
Speaker 2: We'll do it, making mornings great again. We'll do the
0:08
first thing today on the tunk Media Apple Thomas.
0:12
Speaker 3: We'll do it.
0:13
Speaker 4: Lin Jorge said, steal me.
0:16
Speaker 1: A day live on a Saturdays for work. When the sun.
0:20
Speaker 3: Comes up, drops a kid.
0:21
Speaker 4: Just good.
0:23
Speaker 1: It's a good stool, hard knocks, No.
0:29
Speaker 2: Wonder Joe's smile.
0:31
Speaker 5: He only as yet yet, yet, yet yet, Joe here
0:37
hold these truths.
0:40
Speaker 1: I thank you for joining us. Don't oh, don't poke
0:44
the radio, just to make sure it is no, we
0:47
are here. It is not you know some recording of
0:49
Thursday's program, uh, that we launch out here just to
0:53
get somebody to say, first thing today, we are here,
0:56
and we have got a whole bunch of stories. Now,
1:00
you know, with those in suggestion last week that we
1:04
do this program on location on Long Island, given our
1:09
fine affiliate there at Long Island News Radio, the logistics
1:13
of getting anywhere even close to the Ryder Cup was,
1:18
you know, about as easily attainable as getting a live
1:26
broadcast from the West Wing. That's because Air Force one
1:29
buzzed the courses. The American team fell behind three to one.
1:34
Thanks braz of course, the American team seems to do
1:38
that every Ryder Cup. But Bethpage Black buzzing as the
1:43
President arrived there for the golf and you knew we would.
1:49
Everyone's like, did you say, Donald Trump? Why are you
1:51
surprised that Donald Trump showed up at a major golf
1:54
tournament played in the United States, played in the New
1:58
York metro, all in the area. Yeah, but he's never
2:01
gonna win in New York. Sure as hell. Who's gonna
2:04
win in Nasau on Suffolk And he did in twenty
2:07
twenty four, So don't tell me that faster than you
2:10
can say Long Island loud majority. Good golly. So we
2:14
got that, but I have to start. And I checked
2:18
the roster of state, and there used to be it
2:22
had to be a very old station. Somebody must have
2:25
gotten politically correct and changed the call letters. But I
2:32
checked to see if there was a radio station we
2:34
could affiliate the show on called WTF. But under there
2:40
and there are plenty of whiskey tango foxtrot kind of
2:43
stories to share with you each morning, but this one
2:46
takes the cake. We're going to talk about citizenship. Amon
2:52
Blair from Texas Public Policy Foundation going to spend a
2:55
little time talking about citizenship and borders, but this one
3:03
just blows my mind. So an illegal immigrant was arrested
3:08
by US Immigration and Customs enforcement after a high speed
3:13
pursuit in Iowa. I found him on foot, used knines
3:19
to it. Okay, so this is the stuff. They put
3:22
bags on their head and they protest out there, and
3:29
they march up and down, they show up at the
3:31
detention facility. Justice for small lad, justice for Jesse or whatever.
3:36
You know, you Iowa man, notice how this guy is
3:41
an Iowa man. And we'll get further into the story
3:45
and your reaction to it. But this illegal immigrant that
3:48
fled the police and led him on a high speed chase,
3:53
was the school superintendent in Des Moines. Not even in
3:59
some little backwashed towns. The school superintendent of des Moines,
4:05
Iowa led police on a high speed chase because he
4:14
was not in the country legally. Now, let that rattle
4:18
around your bean for a little bit, because we can't
4:21
do first things today without giving you the rundown of
4:25
the first things. But let that sink in for a
4:28
little bit. This Saturday morning, as I mentioned, President Trump
4:34
on Long Island today to enjoy the Ryder Cup action.
4:40
As day two gets underway at Bethpage Black documents declassified
4:46
by FBI Directer Cash Pateel link former FBI Chief James
4:50
Comey now James Comy, who turned himself in yesterday following
4:54
his indictment to false statements made to Congress Catherine Herridge reported.
5:00
Harridge reported the indictment against Komi had been ready to go,
5:05
but the former US Attorney Eric Siebert had been blocking
5:09
or slow walking the charges. According to these documents, herriage
5:13
got Florida Attorney General James Utmeier is warning public schools
5:19
in the Sunshine State that legal action will be taken
5:23
if they block students from forming Turning Point USA chapters.
5:28
Our AG's Office of Parental Rights will take legal action
5:32
against any schools or districts that are preventing TPUSA clubs
5:36
from existing. I did not detail if there are any
5:39
specific charges of school districts in Florida that had taken
5:43
those steps. The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court
5:48
to review the constitutionality of one of their own executive
5:52
orders seeking to end birthright citizenship. Attorney General Pambondi Friday
5:58
announced the deployment of Justice Department agents to federal ice
6:03
facilities across the United States. In the wake of the
6:06
shooting of the ICE officer in Texas, President Trump announced
6:11
Friday he has ordered the declassification and release of all
6:15
government records relating to aviator Amelia Earhart, who disappeared in
6:20
nineteen thirty seven. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky was told during
6:26
the UN sidebar with President Trump that President Trump was
6:30
open to lifting restrictions on Ukraine's use of American made
6:34
long range weapons to strike inside of Russia. This is
6:38
a report in the Wall Street Journal and from those
6:41
UN meetings. Iranian President of Masoud Prajikin warned Friday that
6:46
President Trump's actions could quote set the Middle East on fire.
6:53
And those are some of our Saturday morning first things
6:56
a talk median network.
7:01
Speaker 6: 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 metas share can save you or your family up
7:13
to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but.
7:16
Speaker 2: It's also true.
7:16
Speaker 6: People are just happier with it. They love being part
7:19
of something that reflects and promotes their values and what
7:22
they believe in. Meta Share works too. It's been around
7:25
for thirty years now and members have shared more than
7:28
seven billion dollars of each other's bills. People love having
7:32
telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO networks. So yeah, really,
7:36
you can save a ton and like it better. Imagine
7:38
being happy with how you're taking care of your health care,
7:40
whether you're self employed or part of the gig economy,
7:43

7:59
Speaker 3: Forty Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
8:07
few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
8:13
I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:18
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:22
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:26
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:31
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and
8:35
inflammation has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can
8:41
prevent cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer,
8:45
and in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects
8:50
our healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com

Speaker 5: Hi, everybody, I'm Jack Hannah and it's always a boy
10:01
growing up on a farm in Tennessee.
10:02
Speaker 4: I've been fascinated with animals.
10:04
Speaker 5: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
10:06
but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
10:08
birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
10:12
who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
10:15
who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
10:17
for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
10:21
them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
10:23
of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
10:25
best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
10:29
at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
10:32
perform life saving work every day.
10:34
Speaker 4: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
10:36
Speaker 5: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
10:39
They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change.
10:41
Speaker 4: In their blood chemistry.
10:43
Speaker 5: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
10:45
contribute to society and help those in need. So please
10:48
join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
10:51
dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
10:54
inhabit together.

11:01
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 5: And now a speech.
11:06
Speaker 11: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
art and brain.
11:12
Speaker 4: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 12: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed.
11:15

Speaker 7: Know your buzzed warning signs, Call for a ride when
11:23
it's time to go home.
11:24
Speaker 4: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:28

11:31
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
11:35
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
11:39
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
11:42
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
11:46
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.

11:52
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and

12:29
Speaker 15: As a family member or friend, you may be the
12:32
first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35
going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
12:40
anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
12:43
Speaker 16: But help is available.

13:11
Speaker 2: First thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
13:20
Speaker 1: Hey You're joining us? Is what? Donald? That's w t
13:23
F Radio. And Demoin on the school lunch menu jail food.
14:00
You know, how does a how does an illegal immigrant?
14:03
How does a non citizen? And this is a bigger
14:08
abstract than just the gobsmacking puzzlement that has to come
14:15
from the idea that a car chase, high speed car
14:17
chase in Iowa followed by a canine search through the woods.
14:24
That's the school superintendent of a major American city. I mean,
14:34
this isn't like and I know there are people listening
14:37
in the New York metropolitan area who are like, you
14:39
did you just called Des Moines, Iowa, a major American city, Joe.
14:45
But it is. It's a top one hundred market. It's
14:49
it's biggest city in that area. It's it's not the
14:59
villa village of way way On in some rural part
15:03
of West Virginia. This is a major American city. Their
15:08
school superintendent that apparently had gone through all of the
15:16
paperwork vetting process to qualify to be a school teacher,
15:26
then school administrator, then school superintendent. Never mind the four
15:32
postgraduate degrees his entree into the United States. It's not
15:36
like this guy snuck across the US border in the
15:39
back of a tractor trailer. He was here on a
15:42
student visa in nineteen ninety nine and just stayed. Remember
15:49
there was an incident in two thousand and one you
15:52
may have heard of with a bunch of people who
15:54
just stayed when their visas expired, crashed some airplanes. You
16:01
may have heard the story. I'm reading this and they're
16:07
defending that he filled out all the I nine require
16:11
documents to get employed by the school. He was a
16:15
school superintendent, and he had been in law enforcement's hands
16:19
for a gun possession charge in twenty twenty two in Erie, Pennsylvania,
16:26
where he was pulled over by state troopers and had
16:30
a firearm unlicensed firearm. How many different times I remember
16:37
who was president in twenty twenty two? How many different
16:40
times do you ignore? Now this guy had four postgraduate degrees.
16:43
I'm not telling you that this guy is a fentanyl
16:46
dealer on the corner, and God bless him for wanting
16:51
to be in the United States. But how does a
16:54
guy with four obviously he didn't have four postgraduate degrees
16:59
when he came here in nineteen ninety nine. Why is
17:02
this guy not trying to be a citizen. That's the
17:05
question that's eating the back part of my reptilian portion
17:09
of my brain. Let me see what it's doing to you.
17:13
At four three four eight eight two four two one seven,
17:16
Good morning, You're on the air with Joe Thomas. First
17:18
thing this morning. Who's this? Good morning, Joe, It's Joel.
17:22
Hey Joel, have you Saturday?
17:24
Speaker 13: Happy Saturday?
17:27
Speaker 9: Wow?
17:28
Speaker 13: We could ask the same question about il r Omar
17:31
and and her and her squad. I mean, you know
17:35
about asking her to be a citizen. That's another story.
17:38
Speaker 1: Well, no, she married her relative of some dodgy nature
17:42
brother cousin, you know twice third one once removed who
17:46
knows how many times he removed it. But uh, yeah,
17:49
some you know, familiar marriages to get into the country
17:53
and the thing. And and I've never I've never been
17:56
the guy. And you can bear testimony to this. You
17:58
you've been an habitual you sort of this program for
18:01
a long time that I will not be the one
18:07
to sit here and say we don't need to look
18:10
at how people get citizenship. But gosh, oh man, this
18:15
guy manages to collect four postgraduate degrees. You'd think he
18:19
would have figured out how to become a citizen. So
18:22
it leads me to wonder, why did this gun in
18:25
national not want to be a citizen.
18:29
Speaker 13: Well, let's let's correlate a story too. Let's correlate not
18:33
I mean, I hope this makes sense. Let's correlate dearborn Michigan. Right,
18:38
I've seen postings on Facebook where they're they're allowing broadcast
18:45
at like four point thirty or five am until eight
18:48
o'clock the morning prayers. And there's other people in that
18:52
area that you know, Sharia and Muslim prayers to be
18:57
to be broadcast over over loud speakers and if anybody
19:02
complains about it. We saw that one citizen complain about that.
19:07
Then you know the mayor of Dearborn denouncing him, saying
19:12
he can leave, he can just get out of the area,
19:14
get out of the country. And he's he's an American citizen.
19:18
And then and the mayor was was a Muslim, and
19:22
and and everybody who is everybody who is a citizen
19:25
in America is treating being treated like dirt. And and
19:30
my my question is why are we letting things happen.
19:35
I don't mean be restrictive of freedom the speech, but
19:38
like you said, this guy didn't get he was supposedly vetted.
19:41
What did they vet him on toilet paper? I mean,
19:44
I mean who who who did the vetting? There's Homeland Security, right,
19:49
there's there's uh, there's the State Department who issues no.
19:53
Speaker 1: No, this was this was the Des Moines schools. You
19:56
know when they were hiring him, they they did.
19:58
Speaker 13: The So I'm saying they check that documentation. You know that,
20:04
and and and like you said, like you said, I
20:07
know there's you. I think you've talked about it with veterans,
20:11
American veterans who were in the Korean War, you know,
20:14
older people, and when they went to go get a weapon,
20:17
they had a felony, you know, from stupid some stupid
20:20
thing they did when they were younger, and they could
20:22
never get you know, gun. And but this guy made
20:25
it all the way through.
20:27
Speaker 1: Well, and it's what we choose to know. We you know,
20:30
we can choose to look or we can choose to
20:32
look away. And I think this is a great case
20:34
of we chose to look away. Now, like I said,
20:37
I'm not saying this guy is a fentanyl dealer. But
20:40
you know, citizenship comes with the responsibility. So you're saying,
20:44
the man that's making all of the decisions to administer
20:47
the Des Moines schools is not a citizen of the
20:52
United States. Therefore, isn't you know, tied to the things
20:58
that make citizenship important. What is this teaching the des
21:02
Moines students? And I've checked the Des Moines register and
21:05
all those there doesn't seem to be public outrage about this.
21:11
Speaker 13: It seems like, as you said, before we got to
21:14
get rid of the sloth in America people. As you
21:18
said too, you you talked about like, you know, government
21:22
starts at the PTA, it starts with schools, it starts
21:25
with local government. But I wonder if people are I
21:30
wonder if people are COVID tired. You know, they're like, oh,
21:33
I don't want to get involved. We had to fight that.
21:35
We're just going to lay back. We're going to hide.
21:37
Speaker 18: Now.
21:37
Speaker 1: That's that's what the Marxists. You want you to believe.
21:40
That's that's what their goal. They come well funded and
21:44
very patient with you know, reams and reams of supporters.

22:08
at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate aerobic
22:10
activity in a week's time. But here's the thing that

22:15
super intense. As a matter of fact, it could just
22:18
be you, moving your body and doing what you already
22:20
love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart doesn't
22:24
just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your workout
22:27
routines with strength training as well. So we are super
22:30
excited to be launching our new plateloaded Strength series and

all of our gems. It's already fitted in seventeen hundred locations,

fouschaw in Louisiana, But now as Win Energy continues to grow,

23:08
and servicing the offshore wind industry, moving equipment.

23:29
with it. Maybe you've heard switching to meta share to
23:32

23:35
bucks a month. You can save a ton and like
23:38

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

and email. Thanks for the heads up.
28:24
Speaker 3: All across America talk radio and the voices of freedom.
28:30
Speaker 1: Don't stop talking, don't Danny write to in this is
28:33
Joe w TF radio couldn't be in Des Moines there
28:36
on the other side of the Mississippi God, so it
28:42
would be k W T F.
28:45
Speaker 3: Make up.
28:51
Speaker 1: Is it unfair to say.
28:55
Speaker 4: Yoe moment profile?
28:59
Speaker 1: The Shumading Rivers School District should check and make sure
29:03
their school superintendent is Oh, I don't know a citizen
29:06
this morning?
29:07
Speaker 16: Howa together?
29:14
Speaker 9: Oh?
29:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, as long as you know, we understand. And
29:19
I've got a great clip here from you from this
29:22
story that I know there's lots going on as Rand
29:27
says Trump's going to set the world on fire, and
29:30
Zolensky says Trump said he'll allow him to shoot missiles
29:34
into Moscow. Well, he's open to the idea anyway. But
29:42
this story of the illegal and again the phrase, I'm
29:49
not one of the handwringers. The man's been breaking the
29:52
law since whenever his student visa expired after nineteen ninety nine,
29:58
and visa over I was told was one of those
30:02
things that the Department of Homeland Security was going to address,
30:07
because that's what Mohammad Atta and all of his boys
30:13
used to stay in the United States. They got a
30:16
visa and then they just stayed when they had expired.
30:21
They're like, I'm not leaving. I've got airplanes to crash.
30:27
How many kids have gone through the school division in
30:30
Des Moines, Iowa. So here's the press conference yesterday, and
30:36
I was checking, was partially checking to see if there
30:41
was a WTF radio. Danny was right, But yeah, it is.
30:45
They are all in the K. They're all K. There's
30:48
no k WTF either, and they're all corporate, So you're
30:52
not even you're probably not even going to hear this
30:54
story outside of maybe one or two that might have
30:57
it in a local news blurb, and then it'll be
31:00
Here are what parents are saying about how great the
31:03
school superintendent was and why he shouldn't have been arrested.
31:06
Next on most things considered, all the rest of them,
31:10
they're too busy talking about you know, Trump and the
31:13
US Open Ryder Cup. And I'm you know, and I
31:17
say that, you know, I understand Talk Media Network as
31:20
a company as well, but we kind of pride ourselves
31:23
on being here for you, not them. But here is
31:29
here is des Moines breaking into afternoon news coverage on
31:36
there's a Channel eight in Des Moines to to answer
31:45
the question, this is this is my favorite headline. And
31:48
this is a k c c I Des Moines channel
31:52
eight eyeball news, I mean CBS. Who is doctor Ian Roberts,
31:59
de Mooin superintendent arrested by immigration officials? Well being the
32:05
your local TV station, I'd imagine you ran a story
32:08
on him when he got hired. Maybe. And again, this
32:12
is not some suburban Iowa school district out in the
32:16
farm countries outside, you know, amongst the cornfields and the
32:21
ethanol factories. This is the city of Des Moines school superintendent,
32:28
chased through the woods, chased down the roads by ice agents.
32:34
Imagine that he must have known that he wasn't supposed
32:37
to be here, even after collecting four doctorate degrees and
32:42
getting hired as the school superintendent of des Moines. This
32:46
is this is how it played out yesterday afternoon.
32:48
Speaker 17: We're breaking into programming to bring you breaking news. The
32:51
one public school superintendent, doctor Ian Roberts, has been arrested
32:55
by ice and.
32:56
Speaker 6: Right now to way public school officials are giving an update.
32:59
Speaker 10: They're holding a press common let's listen in.
33:02
Speaker 22: Because of the legal complexities of this situation, we're unfortunately
33:09
not going to be taking any questions following their remarks.
33:13
We know you likely have questions, no doubt, but we
33:19
asked you to bear with us and we won't be
33:21
able to address further questions at this time.
33:25
Speaker 1: Now you may say, well, I feel bad for this guy,
33:28
he's in a bad spot. Well, no, the bad spot
33:31
was when you were trying to find out if this
33:34
guy should be the school superintendent.
33:36
Speaker 22: But it gets better, and so with that, I'll turn
33:39
this over to our school board chair, Jackie Norris.
33:47
Speaker 23: Good afternoon, on behalf of the Des Moines Public School community.
33:51
I want to provide an update from district leadership and
33:54
the board on the current situation unfolding with our superintendent,
33:59
doctor E. Roberts. Before we begin, it seems fitting to
34:04
take a page out of doctor Robert's book.
34:07
Speaker 1: Oh now he's got he's a published author now too.
34:13
Nobody asked him at the publishing house. Hey you know
34:16
who do we? What's your what's your social Security number?
34:20
Ian first question I would ask an employee is hey
34:25
can I get your social Security number?
34:27
Speaker 21: Oh?
34:27
Speaker 1: That reminds me. We've got to send the guy our company,
34:30
I know, so that they can we can get paid
34:32
for some No, it's a business thing, but at some
34:37
point this Roberts fellow had to provide, Oh, I don't know,
34:41
at least a social Security number, but anyway, it gets better.
34:45
Speaker 23: And ask the community to engage in radical empathy.
34:49
Speaker 1: What that's that's what doctor Ian Roberts contribution to the Sociyes,
34:57
radical empathy. I know Ibram Kennedy isn't sweating to have
35:04
his book knock him off the shelves, but radical empathy
35:09
seems appropriate for somebody who's been breaking the law since
35:13
probably two thousand and one.
35:15
Speaker 23: As we work through the situation.
35:17
Speaker 1: Together, work through the situation, it's like it's like they
35:23
found out that the school has lead paint and they're
35:26
going to have to close a whole school. What the
35:29
situation that your school superintendent was just chased through the
35:33
woods by canines because he's not a citizen that situation.
35:39
Speaker 23: Radical empathy is the recognition that we can disagree and
35:44
still empathize with each other.
35:46
Speaker 1: And that's when the glass breaks. That's when it was
35:49
when you know, in case of emergency, break the glass.
35:52
All right, disagree about what citizenship? Oh and like I said,
35:59
I understand and I don't understand that we're not talking
36:02
about a fentanyl dealer and for that, you may say,
36:09
but Joe, then why do we care. It's not a
36:11
fentanyl dealer. He's just educating generations and generations of our children.
36:18
Maybe they can become ventanyl dealers someday. I'm sorry, too far,
36:24
that's too late. Now it's out there. Some alpha centaurian
36:29
is going to get that audio and go, whoa, he
36:32
went out there, didn't he? That escalated in a hurry?
36:38
It's the broadcast hero. Ron Burgundy would have said that
36:43
escalated in hurry. And there's so much going on. I
36:47
want to get into the OMG. So we have w
36:50
t TF and OMG k OMG radio here and we
36:55
checked it and then of the stations in Des Moines
36:58
carry the show. So sorry, they'll have to get it
37:02
on podcasts. We'll hashtag everything and they'll get it. Who
37:05
is this jackass talk media network guy? Thank god we
37:10
all have big corporate radio. I love the smell of
37:21
face palm in the morning. The school superintendent, not a citizen.
37:33
Joel just writes in what are we disagreeing about laws?
37:37
And abiding by them? I just you just sit there
37:45
and you have to shake your head and say, this
37:49
is the fruit of this tree. We planted where you
37:53
know radical empathy and maybe we should take a page
37:57
from this illegals book Radical Empathy. That's how we got here.

Media networth all natural and free of artificial intelligence.
44:27
Speaker 1: I hear you, I hear you. Text message This one
44:30
for Maureen Joe. Obviously this fellow wanted to be an
44:35
American citizen. Why would he go through all those efforts
44:39
for postgraduate degrees? Published author, educator? Can't you tell he
44:45
wanted to be here? I'm not denying any of that.
44:51
He is a man of accomplishment, But the one thing
44:57
he didn't accomplish was becoming a citizen of the United States.
45:02
Now my mother in law is a British national, well
45:07
she's a Scottish national because they get prickly about that,
45:10
but her green card identifies her native country as the
45:18
United Kingdom. She never became a citizen. She came here
45:22
in the fifties. It's the nineteen fifties, and her reasoning
45:28
was she never felt that she was smart enough to
45:31
pass the test, so she just, you know, out of fear,
45:37
never took it. I don't think that's going to be
45:40
this guy's excuse. What is it? And this is where
45:47
people failed the investigative process. And that's why I want
45:50
to pivot at some point from WTTF to OMG. That is,
45:55
as in O'Keeffe media group on the saturate, with so
46:00
much going on, Trump at Bethpage Black and can anyone
46:06
get off of Long Island? Is everyone telecommuting because there's
46:10
just this giant security clog from the north shore to
46:16
the south shore along where Beth Page is. I'm sorry, honey,
46:22
I can't get back home from Manhattan. Everything's closed because
46:25
of the golf tournament. But the question that has to
46:33
be answered, and I'm poking around looking to see if
46:36
anyone's asked it. I can't be that unique in this
46:39
can I Because I mean I put the pathetic in empathetic.
46:43
I understand radical empathy. I understand understanding. But why why
46:56
would this person capable of all all this accomplishment not
47:01
want to be a citizen. We have Guyana nationals become
47:09
citizens all the time. I've been in the presence of
47:12
them here at Thomas Jefferson's home at Monticello. We've talked
47:22
to them. They're amazingly passionate people looking for freedom. So
47:32
why is this guy not one of them? What is
47:36
it he's hiding from. Came to this country in nineteen
47:41
ninety nine, so I was born in seventy three, so
47:46
you do the math. Came as a sixteen year old.
47:53
Now pardon me, this is why Joe doesn't teach math.
47:56
Came as a twenty six year old. So what happened
47:58
in the twenty six years prior to his emigrating to
48:05
the United States? Something bad enough to make him run
48:12
into the woods after leading police on a high speed
48:18
card chase. So obviously the guy is aware. He's got things,
48:23
skeletons in his closet. I think guy was an Olympiic athlete,
48:30
a champion in his field. You don't think even that
48:34
would be worth something to come to this country. What
48:39
was it in his background that he didn't believe he
48:42
could shake? Or were there things he just didn't know
48:54
or didn't want us to know about why he came
48:58
to this country in nineteen ninety nine, Because you know,
49:05
these are the things that while the school board, superintendent
49:09
and all this other dribbledey gook about radical empathy and
49:16
we're all going to stand together as the community and.
49:19
Speaker 23: The respect of others humanity, This concept will be essential
49:25
as we wait to learn.
49:26
Speaker 1: More respect for others who, of course, everyone is endowed
49:31
by their creator with God given rights, but in order
49:35
to find that government that swears to protect them, you
49:40
need to be a citizen of that government. I find
49:44
it ironic the school board member. The slogan of Des
49:53
Moines Public Schools is become the best you. Here's a
50:00
ironic slogan for a school division who's superintendent wasn't even
50:06
a citizen. And again I'm saying, the guy's a man
50:10
of accomplishment, certainly, and I'm not taking that away from him.
50:16
That just even in greater degree, makes me curious. Let's
50:23
call it curious. And I know curiosity is less than empathetic,
50:32
but that's also the deep underpinning rhetoric of the open
50:37
Border's crowd, the ones that go on TV and say
50:44
they're rounding up your neighbors and putting them in concentration camps.
50:50
Forget which one of the nitwits that sits there with
50:53
Scott Jennings every morning, C and N. It's Scott and
50:57
the five Dribbling Buffum. I'm sorry, I'm sure they're very
51:03
nice people, but I can't just read from here. If
51:08
the show doesn't have any ratings, maybe you need to
51:10
get a different scriptwriter. They're coming into our neighborhoods and
51:16
taking our neighbors. Yeah, who aren't citizens? Just and and
51:24
I understand wanting to get out of beep whole countries.
51:27
Remember remember everyone vacated their lower intestines when President Trump
51:32
called some of these countries that during his first term.
51:37
So I understand wanting to get away from a beep
51:39
the whole country and come to the United States. I
51:45
get all of that. Why don't you tell some of
51:49
the All right, here's a here's a text message Joe,
51:52
as its possible, he always intended to but things got
51:55
out of hand and snowballed. I don't know. I mean,
52:00
I could accept that of some guy who was running
52:03
a convenience store, or you know, even to the point
52:06
of owning a plumbing company or whatever. But whose Social
52:11
Security number did he use the first time he applied
52:15
for a job. According to the Iowa Public Schools Division,
52:21
he filled out all the required paper work in twenty
52:26
twenty two when he was hired under the Biden immigration policies.
52:35
So hey, we didn't bring any rules here. We did
52:38
everything we were asked to do. He filled out the forms.
52:40
And remember some of these are federal forms, so lying
52:44
on a federal form, and let's not forget Joel reminds
52:47
us in hamp and Hampton and Treasure Coast the gun Pozze.
