0:01
Speaker 1: We've got to protect our phoney golota job.
0:03
Speaker 2: Gentlemen, we must do something about this immediately, immediately, immediately.
0:08
Speaker 3: On a need to know basis, because you need to
0:11
Speaker 3: know the first thing today, jew.
0:14
Speaker 4: Ward said, steal me stem you have a day at
0:19
Speaker 4: least for work.
0:19
Speaker 1: When the sun comes up, drops a pet to scoop.
0:22
Speaker 2: They jos eying a dream do all the jas needs
0:29
Speaker 2: no one that Joe's as smiled, He only as.
0:36
Speaker 1: Joe.
0:37
Speaker 5: Bless you for letting me be of service to you
0:39
Speaker 5: this morning. The program that will tell you what went
0:44
Speaker 5: on last night. We will obviously give you our analysis
0:48
Speaker 5: of the evidence left behind at the crime scene, and
0:52
Speaker 5: then we will wait for you to tell us. Well,
0:55
Speaker 5: we won't wait around, but we will expect you to
0:57
Speaker 5: tell us how it is impacting you where you are,
1:00
Speaker 5: and your results can vary. We have no side effects
1:05
Speaker 5: warrant warning from the FDA or the USDA or even
1:09
Speaker 5: the FCC. If your results vary, you're the ones we
1:14
Speaker 5: need to hear from. If things are happening differently where
1:17
Speaker 5: you are, let us know. Because whistleblowers come in all
1:22
Speaker 5: shapes and sizes, yes, including yours. So four three, four,
1:27
Speaker 5: eight eight two four two one seven. That is the
1:30
Speaker 5: text message or phone number. It's a multitasker. We like multitaskers.
1:34
Speaker 5: Here at First Thing Today by Joe Thomas, and so
1:38
Speaker 5: you can use either of those. It's easier, I understand,
1:43
Speaker 5: to put something in text, because you could do voice
1:46
Speaker 5: to text and just hit send. We appreciate the phone
1:50
Speaker 5: calls because sometimes text messages they don't come with the
1:54
Speaker 5: full breadth of your intentions, your inferences, hones, that kind
2:01
Speaker 5: of thing that you lose sometimes when you're not hearing
2:04
Speaker 5: somebody in the first person. But you can also email
2:08
Speaker 5: to JT in the Morning Radio at gmail dot com
2:14
Speaker 5: and we will do our best to read your words
2:19
Speaker 5: with all the drama that trained Shakespearean thespian can do. Yes, yes,
2:25
Speaker 5: I've I've for a while dabbled in the idea of
2:28
Speaker 5: being a thespian, but I decided heterosexuality was the way
2:32
Speaker 5: I was going to go for it. So that being
2:35
Speaker 5: said four three four eight eight two four two one
2:38
Speaker 5: seven quick by the way, just as a warning as
2:41
Speaker 5: we get ready for our first things. This is not
2:44
Speaker 5: side effects, but there may be some warnings for pointed
2:51
Speaker 5: commentary woven into the news and not in the way
2:55
Speaker 5: that you might think. But I'm just warning you it
2:57
Speaker 5: might be there. If you have any allergic reactions to
3:04
Speaker 5: reminders that other things are going on in the world
3:07
Speaker 5: and amongst the news stories that work your feels, you
3:11
Speaker 5: may be triggered. Democratic leaders on our first thing say
3:15
Speaker 5: the proposal the White House sent them last night is
3:18
Speaker 5: quote incomplete and insufficient as they demand new restrictions from
3:23
Speaker 5: President Trump's administration on their immigration crackdown. Democratic leaders Chuck
3:29
Speaker 5: Schumer and Hakeem Jeffrey said Monday that the White House
3:33
Speaker 5: counterproposal to their demands included neither details nor legislative text.
3:40
Speaker 5: The clock is ticking as another government partial shutdown could
3:45
Speaker 5: come as early as Saturday if a deal is not struck.
3:49
Speaker 5: The Democrats demands are requirement for judicial warrants and better
3:54
Speaker 5: identification of DHS officers, while not of course asking for
4:00
Speaker 5: id to vote. The FBI is not aware of ongoing communications,
4:05
Speaker 5: they say, between Savannah Gothrie's family and the suspected kidnappers
4:10
Speaker 5: of her mother. The Today Show host mother went missing
4:15
Speaker 5: on Monday. They are currently one hundred and twenty four.
4:19
Speaker 5: By the way, other kidnapping cases that the FBI has
4:22
Speaker 5: posted that they are also investigating in the United States.
4:26
Speaker 5: You can see that list not on the Evening News
4:29
Speaker 5: but at FBI dot gov. On the same day, Amber
4:33
Speaker 5: Glenn won Olympic gold as part of the team events.
4:36
Speaker 5: She has scrubbed her social media presence like Bad Bunny
4:40
Speaker 5: did after the Super Bowl halftime show, after criticism over
4:46
Speaker 5: her politics, her support of the LGBTQ plus community, but
4:51
Speaker 5: most importantly over use of copyrighted music without permission. Seb McKinnon,
4:57
Speaker 5: who produces music under the name clan And, took to
5:01
Speaker 5: social media questioning whether Glenn had gotten permission which he
5:06
Speaker 5: didn't find for his song The Return, which she skated
5:10
Speaker 5: to in the Olympics. He posted to acts just found
5:13
Speaker 5: out an Olympic figure skater used one of my songs
5:15
Speaker 5: without permission for their routine. It aired all over the world.
5:20
Speaker 5: What is that usual practice for the Olympics. The US
5:24
Speaker 5: Marine Corps has passed a clean financial audit for the
5:27
Speaker 5: third consecutive year. This puts it ahead over the entire
5:34
Speaker 5: War Department, which has yet to pass such a clean audit.
5:39
Speaker 5: Lawmakers tried yesterday to interview Klaane Maxwell, the girlfriend and
5:45
Speaker 5: supposed Business Operations director of Jeffrey Epstein's child trafficking and
5:51
Speaker 5: influence peddling business. She invoked her Fifth Amendment rights to
5:55
Speaker 5: avoid answering any questions that would be incriminating. She is
6:00
Speaker 5: also asking for clemency and to have her conviction overturned,
6:05
Speaker 5: and the Vatican has cleared the way for a beatification
6:08
Speaker 5: of Archbishop Fulton Sheen. This portion of First Thing Today
6:20

Speaker 7: Health considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the
8:07
Speaker 7: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
8:12
Speaker 7: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
8:18
Speaker 7: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
8:22
Speaker 7: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
8:26
Speaker 7: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:31
Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:37
Speaker 7: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
Speaker 7: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
Speaker 7: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
Speaker 7: healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

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

10:52

11:10
Speaker 12: art and brain.
11:12
Speaker 1: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 4: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my

13:54
Speaker 5: frequency modulation goodness of all of our friends, all of
13:58
Speaker 5: kme et in San Bernardino, and WTN in Stanton and Charlottesville,
14:05
Speaker 5: and WNIS and wt R in Norfolk and wherever you
14:11
Speaker 5: catch up with this my mother's hometown of Greenwich, of
14:16
Speaker 5: so many cool folks and so many cool places, KPPF
14:19
Speaker 5: and Colorado Springs. A couple of folks caught it. A
14:23
Speaker 5: couple of you are on the ball at this hour
14:27
Speaker 5: of the morning, ardently listening for that trigger warning for
14:31
Speaker 5: the allergic reaction that we were warning you of in
14:35
Speaker 5: the news. Pete writes into four three four eight eight
14:41
Speaker 5: two four two one seven, get it. Other kidnappings going on, understood,
14:48
Speaker 5: Give the FBI the win on this one here. I
14:51
Speaker 5: don't know if the FBI is trying to get the win.
14:52
Speaker 5: And I get what you're saying. This is you know,
14:56
Speaker 5: when when the Democrats are running the d I mean
15:02
Speaker 5: from the top down, not from the bottom up the
15:04
Speaker 5: way they often are, they will spare no expense for
15:09
Speaker 5: the public relations of look at us doing the cool
15:14
Speaker 5: stuff that agent Hotchner and company used to do on
15:23
Speaker 5: person of Interest or whatever shows. I know, a person
15:27
Speaker 5: of Interest was actually much more my speed than the FBI,
15:31
Speaker 5: although you know, you get into the procedurals. I understand.
15:33
Speaker 5: We like watching the procedurals, you know, whether it's monk
15:37
Speaker 5: or psych or what was the new one? High potential, right,
15:45
Speaker 5: you know, so we like the procedurals, we like watching
15:48
Speaker 5: the detectives, as Joe Jackson chronicled and one of his ditties.
16:00
Speaker 5: But there's one hundred and twenty four other active kidnappings
16:04
Speaker 5: going on, and I know, I know, I'm running the
16:08
Speaker 5: risk of flying in the face of who cares, but
16:12
Speaker 5: in a world that I'm being inundated with with every
16:15
Speaker 5: day another American athlete bitching about the United States, which
16:21
Speaker 5: is funny because what they're bitching about is the United
16:24
Speaker 5: States enforcing citizenship while they represent a country in an
16:29
Speaker 5: athletic endeavor specifically dedicated to citizens of these countries competing
16:36
Speaker 5: with one another. Oh, you must control tongue of death.
16:42
Speaker 5: I know I'm going to get the Every time I
16:44
Speaker 5: get like this early in the morning, I get a
16:46
Speaker 5: text message from one of my dear friends who's like,
16:49
Speaker 5: go get the valume, Joe, you're about to pop an aneurysm.
16:58
Speaker 5: But I mean, I could be that guy and read
17:01
Speaker 5: the list of all one hundred and twenty four other
17:08
Speaker 5: current kidnappings the FBI is investigating that are getting as
17:11
Speaker 5: of the last time I checked. Outside of the very
17:14
Speaker 5: most local news stations where they're still available, and most
17:19
Speaker 5: of those cases are only in the bigger cities where
17:24
Speaker 5: you can get a local, you know, some some person
17:27
Speaker 5: from four Corners Arizona. Good luck. Sorry I misspoke. You
17:34
Speaker 5: know you want to talk about a crippling, you know
17:37
Speaker 5: problem I have. Elvis and Joe Jackson always get mixed
17:41
Speaker 5: up in my head. But one hundred and twenty four
17:45
Speaker 5: other kidnappings going on actively on the FBI's list, not
17:55
Speaker 5: even just local leos that are getting exactly zero press coverage.
18:04
Speaker 5: It's one hundred and twenty four families wondering what happened
18:08
Speaker 5: to their loved one, or perpetrators that are hoping nobody
18:12
Speaker 5: catches on to why the missing person is missing. One
18:17
Speaker 5: hundred and twenty four other investigations besides the missing mother
18:22
Speaker 5: of the Today Show host Savannah Guthrie and I get it.
18:26
Speaker 5: I understand where we in the media, We're the important ones,
18:30
Speaker 5: aren't we. You know, My mother died of COVID and
18:34
Speaker 5: nobody ever heard about it on the radio except that
18:37
Speaker 5: I took some time off to go up to New
18:39
Speaker 5: Jersey because she was in a COVID ward of some
18:42
Speaker 5: hospital and I had to basically con my way in
18:45
Speaker 5: sneak my way in. Luckily, there were some sweet nurses
18:48
Speaker 5: who let me in there to see my mother before
18:51
Speaker 5: she died having been mistreated, you know, in that club
18:58
Speaker 5: footed monkey era of COVID, where we didn't know what
19:03
Speaker 5: the hell we were doing because we couldn't treat people
19:06
Speaker 5: with medicines that were readily available. We just had to
19:09
Speaker 5: put them on ventilators and hope that they survived the night.
19:13
Speaker 5: You didn't hear about that. I could have gone on
19:15
Speaker 5: about that for weeks on end. Lord knows, it wasn't
19:19
Speaker 5: like we weren't covering the COVID nineteen stories in the
19:22
Speaker 5: first place. And as sure as he easily could have
19:25
Speaker 5: woven my mother's tail into the broadcast, Hey Savannah, how
19:32
Speaker 5: about you help bring some attention to the other one
19:36
Speaker 5: hundred and twenty four kidnappings that are going on. I know,
19:39
Speaker 5: I know there's the other, But like I said, in
19:42
Speaker 5: a world where I'm getting inundated with spoiled, rotten gymnasts
19:48
Speaker 5: and skaters and skiers and whatnot telling me what they
19:53
Speaker 5: think about what I should believe in terms of whether
19:56
Speaker 5: boys can be girls and girls can be boys. There's
19:59
Speaker 5: another kink song for you at least I know that one, right, Scott.
20:05
Speaker 5: I appreciate the heads up on the Elvis Costello. Like
20:09
Speaker 5: I said out, it's probably the era that they were
20:13
Speaker 5: both out in. I'm always mixing up Joe Jackson and
20:16
Speaker 5: Elvis Costello songs in my head, which is bad for
20:20
Speaker 5: him when you consider I'm a disc jockey, But generally
20:23
Speaker 5: in my studio I have it written down for me
20:25
Speaker 5: by someone else, because that's what we in the media
20:28
Speaker 5: really are doing. There's reading other people's stuff to you.
20:32
Speaker 5: Good morning, you're on the air with Joe. First thing
20:33
Speaker 5: this morning? Who's this? Hey?
20:36
Speaker 18: This is Moscow Bob and the Guthrie thing. Same thing
20:40
Speaker 18: with the Natalie Holly Holloway disappearance. It just goes to
20:44
Speaker 18: show we do live in a two tier system, the
20:47
Speaker 18: very wealthy that don't have to follow the law and
20:50
Speaker 18: everyone else to get screwed by the law.
20:52
Speaker 5: How does the thing? How does the Guthree thing? I'm
20:54
Speaker 5: just curious, and we'll have time. I mean, it's my show,
20:57
Speaker 5: they're my rules. I make him up. But how does
21:00
Speaker 5: how does the Guthrie I mean is certainly she's a celebrity,
21:04
Speaker 5: but I don't know. I didn't you know, go through.
21:06
Speaker 5: There may be wealthier people on this list of the
21:09
Speaker 5: you know, unspoken kidnappings going actively on the FBI. Right,
21:15
Speaker 5: is it because she's a celebrity because of who.
21:19
Speaker 18: She is and being a VIP status and having connections.
21:24
Speaker 18: That's why she's getting so much publicity. The other thing
21:28
Speaker 18: is this skater or whatever that's complaining about the other
21:32
Speaker 18: skater using her song. She should be paying him for
21:35
Speaker 18: all the promotional advertisement he did by playing her song
21:39
Speaker 18: worldwide and bringing attention to her.
21:41
Speaker 5: Well, you've got it, Flip. You know, the the artist
21:44

22:04

22:24
Speaker 20: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let

Speaker 12: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
23:06
Speaker 12: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
23:11
Speaker 12: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
23:15
Speaker 12: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
23:20
Speaker 12: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
23:25
Speaker 12: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease
23:30
Speaker 12: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
23:34
Speaker 12: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
23:40
Speaker 12: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
23:44
Speaker 12: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
23:48
Speaker 12: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
23:53
Speaker 12: center of our profession. For more information on AI and

Speaker 7: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
24:07
Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
24:12
Speaker 7: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
24:18
Speaker 7: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
24:22
Speaker 7: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
24:26
Speaker 7: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
24:31
Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:36
Speaker 7: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
24:42
Speaker 7: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
24:45
Speaker 7: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

28:38
Speaker 5: I like to say, kick the fires and light the tires.
28:41
Speaker 5: That's that's what we're all about here, uh this morning. Uh.
28:44
Speaker 5: And you know what's interesting to me is the reaction
28:47
Speaker 5: when we talk about things that aren't Trump administration. Although
28:51
Speaker 5: there's a couple of folks who are reacting to my, my,
28:54
Speaker 5: my pedanticness over the Savannah Guthrie coverage because they're hopeful
29:01
Speaker 5: that the Trump administration's Department of Justice can comport itself
29:06
Speaker 5: publicly and score some points and and look good on
29:10
Speaker 5: national television for successfully figuring out this case. That all
29:16
Speaker 5: well and good, but you know, let's let's let the
29:18
Speaker 5: case this one, Scheriz writes, And Joe, are you suggesting
29:23
Speaker 5: we have camera crews following every investigator around? That's not
29:27
Speaker 5: going to help solve any cases? A Green Cheries. That's
29:30
Speaker 5: that's why these celebrity true crime stories drive me nuts,
29:34
Speaker 5: because the kind of scrutiny they're getting. And I watched
29:37
Speaker 5: it here, look up. You probably don't remember, or maybe
29:41
Speaker 5: if you do, it's a vestige. CNN and Nancy Grace
29:45
Speaker 5: loved the Hannah Graham investigation, and I watched these you know,
29:50
Speaker 5: it was just like a gaggle I think it was.
29:53
Speaker 5: It may have been Doonesbury, It may have been bloom County.
29:58
Speaker 5: One of those cartoon panel cartoon UNEs used to depict
30:01
Speaker 5: the press as this cloud of barking dogs with microphones
30:07
Speaker 5: and cameras sticking out of it. They would just chase
30:09
Speaker 5: the congressman around and and and Mark Mark Mark. I
30:14
Speaker 5: always thought that was a great especially after watching, uh,
30:17
Speaker 5: the Hannagram investigation and how the pressure just sort of,
30:21
Speaker 5: you know, was so neatly corralled by an amazing. Uh.
30:28
Speaker 5: News Press Corps trainer Police Chief Tim Longo, UH for it.
30:33
Speaker 5: But but you know, you can really screw up a
30:38
Speaker 5: legal investigation if you start throwing stuff out there just
30:43
Speaker 5: because somebody who lived down the street from something. So
30:47
Speaker 5: I really worry that if there is some peril that
30:53
Speaker 5: Savannah Guthrie's mother is in, she's being put in worse
30:57
Speaker 5: peril for the coverage of it, and covering this just
31:01
Speaker 5: makes it more likely to happen. It's just like a terrorist.
31:07
Speaker 5: You give the terrorists what they want by you know,
31:10
Speaker 5: not just bags of money and a trip to Cuba,
31:14
Speaker 5: but you give them the press coverage, you're just going
31:16
Speaker 5: to get more terrorism. So there's a subtext to it. Honestly,
31:24
Speaker 5: I'm doing it to highlight the fact that we should say, hey,
31:27
Speaker 5: Savannah Guthrie's mother is still missing film addle even you know,
31:30
Speaker 5: no news here. It's sufficient. I believe it is sufficient
31:34
Speaker 5: to say we don't have anything new to tell you
31:37
Speaker 5: on this story now, on other things, but the news
31:42
Speaker 5: media these days, and it started, I believe with the
31:45
Speaker 5: Challenger because everyone was glued to their televisions over the
31:52
Speaker 5: Challenger and the teacher and all the school kids that
31:55
Speaker 5: were watching. I mean, there were heart rendering parts of
31:58
Speaker 5: the story, heart rent parts, but after the first hour,
32:10
Speaker 5: all three of them, Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, and Tom
32:14
Speaker 5: Brokaw Jess were repeating each other and it was just
32:18
Speaker 5: the same six or seven bits of information that they
32:22
Speaker 5: had repeated on a loop. And all you were really
32:26
Speaker 5: watching for was which one did a better job of saying,
32:30
Speaker 5: we don't have anything new to report to you. And
32:34
Speaker 5: I think at that point it was Rather that did
32:36
Speaker 5: a better job of packaging the same six bullet points
32:42
Speaker 5: over and over again, and we just stayed on it
32:45
Speaker 5: for hours. September eleventh, in a lot of the same way.
32:49
Speaker 5: I remember when the Red Cross called me and said,
32:51
Speaker 5: please stop encouraging blood donation drives. We're throwing the stuff
32:56
Speaker 5: out because there are no survivors. You want to talk
33:01
Speaker 5: about an act with velves smack. I mean, you're hopeful.
33:04
Speaker 5: You're watching the rescuers and the dogs and all the
33:07
Speaker 5: folks in the pile of rubble and in central in
33:10
Speaker 5: southern southern Manhattan, and you're praying that they, Hey, we
33:14
Speaker 5: found some people down here. So we were doing blood drives,
33:18
Speaker 5: but the Red Cross was throwing out hundreds of gallons
33:22
Speaker 5: of blood because they didn't need it in New York
33:26
Speaker 5: and they were using it for the people who got
33:29
Speaker 5: injured in their hometowns. But it wasn't going to New
33:32
Speaker 5: York because there were no survivors. But we couldn't say
33:36
Speaker 5: that on television. We had to keep people tuned in.
33:39
Speaker 5: Maybe there'll be survivors tonight. We'll be live from midnight
33:43
Speaker 5: until five am, and then from five am until midnight.
33:47
Speaker 5: And eventually we get worn down on the story and
33:51
Speaker 5: we stopped. You know, we're can we hear about something
33:55
Speaker 5: else anyway? I mean, this is just my feelings on this.
34:00
Speaker 5: Your results can vary. You may say you know what
34:02
Speaker 5: I want. My emotions triggered constantly by updates from TMZ
34:08
Speaker 5: and The Hollywood Reporter on the investigation into Savannah Guthrie's mom. Well,
34:14
Speaker 5: then then you should want the same coverage for the
34:16
Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty four other kidnappings that are currently
34:20
Speaker 5: on the FBI's docket. That's my view. Good morning, You're
34:24
Speaker 5: on the air with Joe. First thing this morning. Who's this, Hey, Joe,
34:28
Speaker 5: It's Clark, Morning Clark. How are you, sir? I'm good?
34:32
Speaker 21: And look, Joe, let's just be honest. The other one
34:35
Speaker 21: hundred and twenty four aren't nearly a sensation or Savannah
34:38
Speaker 21: Guthrie's mother, this balloon boy, this whole thing.
34:42
Speaker 5: How do you know that? I mean, we wouldn't know that,
34:45
Speaker 5: you know. I mean, I'm just saying, guilty is charge?
34:48
Speaker 21: I mean, I don't have doctor or I'm glad you asked, Joe.
34:52
Speaker 21: The way I know is the mainstream media decides what
34:57
Speaker 21: the news is, and.
34:59
Speaker 5: They've decided this is the news. Okay, so.
35:07
Speaker 21: That's the mainstream media would have decided to tell them
35:09
Speaker 21: about or tell us about it. But it's not nearly
35:12
Speaker 21: a sensational interesting so we don't need to know about that.
35:17
Speaker 21: Fair enough tell us what the news is. They decide
35:21
Speaker 21: what the news will be.
35:23
Speaker 5: They tell us the stories they think we want to hear.
35:25
Speaker 5: I think is more the case.
35:26
Speaker 21: But yeah, I think, yeah, you know, yeah, if it
35:32
Speaker 21: does not fit, they will omit when it comes to
35:35
Speaker 21: crafting narrative.
35:36
Speaker 5: It's it's true. I appreciate the point of order on that,
35:40
Speaker 5: Doctor Clark. Anything else going on, well.
35:44
Speaker 24: You know.
35:47
Speaker 5: Me sent to me by a leftist last night. You
35:51
Speaker 5: have left.
35:54
Speaker 21: I have a leftist friend, Joe, and it's very important
35:57
Speaker 21: that you have one if you don't cultivate one, because
35:59
Speaker 21: you know exactly what left this leadership is most worried
36:05
Speaker 21: about by what your leftist friend has been currently agitated
36:10
Speaker 21: by the agit proplet about Okay, but anyway, Yeah, it
36:16
Speaker 21: was all about, uh, what percentage of the people that
36:21
Speaker 21: have been afforded were actually violent criminals and whatnot. Do
36:24
Speaker 21: you remember when Barry called us bitter clingers, Joe, Oh, yeah,
36:29
Speaker 21: because we were resolute in our faith and we weren't
36:32
Speaker 21: giving our firearms up.
36:33
Speaker 5: Yep.
36:35
Speaker 21: The lefts are bitter clingers right now, Joe. They are
36:39
Speaker 21: bitterly clinging to their illegals and their fraud and their
36:44
Speaker 21: vote manipulation.
36:46
Speaker 5: Hey, we all have to have our theologies, don't we.
36:51
Speaker 21: WHOA We have ours and our creator and they have
36:55
Speaker 21: theirs in the state. If that's where you're going.
36:57
Speaker 5: Well, I'm just saying these these are their texts said
37:00
Speaker 5: of a Bible. Uh. They they have you know, Sololensky's
37:04
Speaker 5: rules for radicals instead of charity. They have government funding,
37:11
Speaker 5: they have government bureaucracy. I mean, these are the things
37:14
Speaker 5: that are their church. I know you've compared it to
37:17
Speaker 5: a cult in the past, but I look at it
37:20
Speaker 5: as quasi religious in their blind suggest Yeah. No, it
37:26
Speaker 5: is their religion. That's there's no two ways about that.
37:30
Speaker 21: Their place of worship is an abortion clinic, and you
37:33
Speaker 21: will not go there and disturb their.
37:35
Speaker 5: Services, their sacrifices. They're good stuff, doctor Clark. Oh my god. Yeah,
37:41
Speaker 5: and we're gonna get I'm gonna get emails about that too.
37:43
Speaker 5: But good stuff, doctor Clark. You keep you keep cultivating

44:45
Speaker 5: there it is. One of my dearest friends is a
44:48
Speaker 5: huge Elvis Costello fan. And he'll give me grief about
44:51
Speaker 5: that later on. He always says, the other one from
44:55
Speaker 5: Tupelo is the other Elvis. Uh, they're on this first
44:59
Speaker 5: thing today. And apologies, I don't know how to say
45:02
Speaker 5: I'm sorry in Russian, but Bob was hanging on the
45:07
Speaker 5: line when we all got caught up in the reverie
45:09
Speaker 5: and went to Clark's call. Before we finished up with Bob,
45:13
Speaker 5: you had something else to add to your comments before Bob,
45:18
Speaker 5: what was it with the Olympics?
45:20
Speaker 18: Any United States citizen that decides to compete for another
45:26
Speaker 18: nation under their flag should lose their citizenship and have
45:30
Speaker 18: to go to that country because obviously they don't respect
45:33
Speaker 18: the United States.
45:34
Speaker 5: Well, you know, there's a lot of things. There's a
45:36
Speaker 5: lot of things that will cost you your US citizenship,
45:39
Speaker 5: and I don't know if that is one of them,
45:41
Speaker 5: but I know that you know, going and living in
45:45
Speaker 5: and taking up with paying taxes to there are a
45:48
Speaker 5: lot of things that will trigger a loss of citizenship
45:52
Speaker 5: in the United States? Which one is there? Is there
45:56
Speaker 5: one that I know that the skiers out there whining
45:59
Speaker 5: about the US and all, I don't like everything in
46:02
Speaker 5: my country, you know, I'm not really proud of it,
46:03
Speaker 5: you know, and Trump called him a loser and all
46:06
Speaker 5: that and that, you know, caught headlines. But is there
46:09
Speaker 5: a US citizen skating or skiing or playing hockey for
46:14
Speaker 5: a different country skating?
46:17
Speaker 18: Yes, there's an American speed skater that went to Russia
46:22
Speaker 18: and skated the last Olympics for the Russian Olympic team
46:25
Speaker 18: and won a medal because he couldn't because of his DADUS,
46:33
Speaker 18: because he wasn't rich and didn't have the context, he
46:36
Speaker 18: could never make the US team.
46:38
Speaker 5: Interesting, I didn't know that story. I mean the Olympics.
46:41
Speaker 18: You know, the same thing with Lindsay vond. The only
46:45
Speaker 18: reason she's on the Olympic team is because who she is.
46:48
Speaker 18: She didn't have to compete to win, because she was hurt.
46:51
Speaker 18: They put this old ex professional athlete on the team
46:58
Speaker 18: because of her name and her popularity.
47:01
Speaker 5: To get attention.
47:03
Speaker 18: Well, yeah, it was not qualified.
47:05
Speaker 5: So the whole arc here, Bob is getting attention for
47:09
Speaker 5: media people that's what this is is. I will tell
47:12
Speaker 5: you the Savannah Guph three story because you'll click through
47:14
Speaker 5: onto my sub stack for it. You will will put
47:18
Speaker 5: Lindsay Vaughn in the Olympics because it makes people tune
47:20
Speaker 5: into NBC.
47:23
Speaker 18: Yeah, and some other poor girl that trained all her life,
47:26
Speaker 18: that's in her twenties, that team in seconds in the
47:30
Speaker 18: United States Ski Trial lost her spots to lindyvon because
47:35
Speaker 18: don had her knee injury. And you know she wasn't
47:39
Speaker 18: one hundred percent coming back after that knee injury. You
47:42
Speaker 18: don't come back that best to be able to ski
47:44
Speaker 18: downhill with all the stress on your knees right now.
47:49
Speaker 5: And I understand that, and you know, and maybe that's
47:52
Speaker 5: half the problem. We're not sufficiently excited about the drama
47:56
Speaker 5: that could take place or mechanically in an athletic event
48:02
Speaker 5: where some guy you've never heard of comes out of
48:05
Speaker 5: nowhere and wins a gold medal and whatever it is
48:09
Speaker 5: which is supposed to be the point.
48:12
Speaker 18: Yeah, No different than the NBA basketball players going and
48:15
Speaker 18: playing on the Olympic team. What a joke.
48:19
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, because we lost because we did such a
48:22
Speaker 5: good job teaching the rest of the world how to
48:24
Speaker 5: play basketball. That we got our lunch taken from us.
48:30
Speaker 18: That's because the rest of the world has caught up
48:31
Speaker 18: to the United States and basketball.
48:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, well that's that's basketball's own fault, is that they
48:37
Speaker 5: went and taught the world how to play basketball.
48:41
Speaker 18: Same thing with women's soccers. The women's soccers is going
48:43
Speaker 18: to have a difficult time ever point the strip.
48:47
Speaker 5: They did before.
48:48
Speaker 18: When the last string of players that they went to
48:51
Speaker 18: the Olympics, it wasn't because they were so good. It
48:55
Speaker 18: was because they're the only team that had money in sponsors.
48:58
Speaker 18: Same thing with women's hockey when when the Tackey Perst
49:01
Speaker 18: started out, it was always Canada the United States winning
49:04
Speaker 18: all the medals. Now there's other teams winning because competition
49:08
Speaker 18: is equaled out.
49:09
Speaker 5: Well, there's an argument to be made. And I would
49:12
Speaker 5: want to become sports talk radio. Bob and I appreciate
49:15
Speaker 5: it as always calling it in from Moscow, and I
49:17
Speaker 5: can't I don't know if he means this. While he
49:20
Speaker 5: was talking, I was looking it up. Apparently there's a
49:23
Speaker 5: South Korean named Victor On who skated in twenty fourteen
49:30
Speaker 5: and sochy they won multiple golds. But he had actually
49:35
Speaker 5: rejected the US program. He was a South Korean short
49:39
Speaker 5: ta track skater and I'm just catching the star here.
49:43
Speaker 5: You pequed my curiosity on it, so we went looking.
49:48
Speaker 5: But I think part of it was South Korea didn't
49:51
Speaker 5: have a short track speed scout. My Mother's God, that's
49:57
Speaker 5: two times this hour we mentioned my mother. Talk about
50:00
Speaker 5: my mother, but she was a huge speed skating fan.
50:05
Speaker 5: That was her thing, considering she grew up the same
50:08
Speaker 5: town as Dorothy Hamill. And that's my favorite sporting irony
50:12
Speaker 5: is the very pond where Dorothy Hamill learned to skate.
50:15
Speaker 5: And you're listening to us on WGH. Go to Miyanas
50:19
Speaker 5: Park and the middle of winter like it is now
50:22
Speaker 5: and there's orange they were two three years ago orange barrels.
50:27
Speaker 5: They are saying no skating allowed on the very pond
50:30
Speaker 5: that's named Dorothy Hamil pond because that's where she learned
50:34
Speaker 5: to skate. But she can't skate there anymore. These are
50:37
Speaker 5: the things that the authoritarians have done to us over time.
50:42
Speaker 5: And there was a point when Lindsey Vaughn was just
50:45
Speaker 5: some you know, twenty something on a skiing teap and
50:51
Speaker 5: nobody knew who she was, and she wins and you're like, oh, wow,
50:55
Speaker 5: she's great, But there's a a societal argument over whether
51:03
Speaker 5: you should forcibly break up dynasties. Are dynasties good? Was
51:11
Speaker 5: it good for NASCAR when Jimmy Johnson won seven titles?
51:15
Speaker 5: Was it good for NASCAR when Dale Earnard won seven titles?
51:18
Speaker 5: Or Richard Petty? Was it good for baseball when the
51:21
Speaker 5: Yankees or the Dodgers were always in the World Series
51:24
Speaker 5: or are always in the World Series? Because you know
51:32
Speaker 5: this idea of we can see you know you can't
51:34
Speaker 5: have money, you can have money. I mean, all these
51:37
Speaker 5: athletic endeavors try to equalize the playing field, and I
51:43
Speaker 5: think there's a part of me that believes this opens
51:46
Speaker 5: the door into the idea of why can't women play
51:48
Speaker 5: baseball on the college baseball team or the pros? And
51:56
Speaker 5: as a meritocracy, you say, okay, well try out, try
52:00
Speaker 5: out with them. I've seen some of these girls pitching softball.
52:05
Speaker 5: You know, they're bringing a baseball at one hundred miles
52:07
Speaker 5: an hour. Sure they're throwing it underhand, but who cares.
52:12
Speaker 5: There's nothing in the baseball rule book that says you
52:14
Speaker 5: have to throw it overhand. Ask kent to Culvey. That's
52:18
Speaker 5: for you guys in Youngstown, Ohio. But it's you know,
52:27
Speaker 5: I think in part of it if to summation, ladies
52:30
Speaker 5: and gentlemen of the jury, and my summation is that it's,
52:34
Speaker 5: you know, we're watching theater, and the more they're trying
52:38
Speaker 5: to contrive the theater, the less we are compelled by
52:42
Speaker 5: the theater. Sure, sometimes improv falls flat on its face,
52:48
Speaker 5: but a lot of times it's really good.
52:51
Speaker 24: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
52:55
Speaker 24: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
52:57
Speaker 21: It was metashere that came through for us, and there's
53:00
Speaker 21: no hassles, there was no problem.
53:02
Speaker 24: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
53:05
Speaker 24: of such an incredible ministry.
53:07
Speaker 26: Meta Share is a Biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
53:11
Speaker 26: share each other's medical expenses.
53:13
Speaker 14: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
53:17
Speaker 14: with you through the hardest times of your life.
53:20
Speaker 26: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years old,
53:25
Speaker 26: and members have shared over eight billion dollars of each
53:27
Speaker 26: other's medical bills.
53:28
Speaker 10: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance,
53:31
Speaker 10: you can focus on on supporting other people.
53:33
Speaker 26: Meta share is affordable, Medishare is Biblical.
53:36
Speaker 10: Medishare is family.
53:37
Speaker 26: Join thousands of Christians who can help you save on
53:40
