"Moving in Stereo(type)" (Friday August 29, 2025, Hour 4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:03
Speaker 1: Jess behind.
0:05
Speaker 2: We don't have homosexuals because the first thing today on
0:10
the talk media network by Joe Thomas, the second most
0:14
famous Thomas and Charlotte Sis.
0:16
Speaker 3: Your words at steal me stem.
0:19
Speaker 4: You have a day at least for work when the
0:22
sun comes up, drops a pet to school.
0:26
Speaker 1: Joey has everything a gender, all the jasure.
0:32
Speaker 5: No one that Joe's as smile.
0:34
Speaker 6: He only is.
0:38
Speaker 1: Your Joe.
0:39
Speaker 5: Bless you for letting me be of service to you.
0:44
Speaker 3: Four three four eight eight four two one seven. We
0:49
will take the news. We will tell you the news.
0:52
Speaker 5: Then we'll have the news stories pressed into easily digestible gummies.
0:57
And then after you've relaxed a little bit. No, there's
1:01
nothing else in those coumpanies. Why do you ask? Then
1:04
we can weigh in on how the news is impacting
1:08
you where you are, and so much going on there.
1:12
Of course, that famous clip from Mahmud Almadenijad as the
1:16
manifesto of the shooter in Minneapolis appears to be very
1:21
much pro Hamas and anti everyone else, and more heartbreaking
1:28
even than it was before. When you see that, you say,
1:32
you know what their attitude is towards homosexuality and certainly
1:38
transgenderism and the tragedy of the two dead children, the
1:47
fourteen fourteen injured children or clinging to their health and
1:54
what will forever be a mark in their lives. You stop,
2:01
and you remember when this kind of stuff caused mirth
2:07
out of the feeling that maybe if we made a
2:10
point about how silly it would be to support an
2:14
ideology that wouldn't support you back.
2:18
Speaker 3: And you take.
2:19
Speaker 5: Issue with a society that supposedly is not supporting you
2:22
back enough sufficiently as you are. And we can only
2:27
presuppose because his mother has hired a lawyer, a criminal
2:35
defense lawyer, and there was no good in this story
2:43
except for the heroic efforts of those who saved kids,
2:46
and the heroic efforts of the doctors that are administering
2:52
to those kids to bring them better, and hopefully the
2:56
parents and the church leaders that helped.
2:58
Speaker 3: Them get past this.
3:01
Speaker 5: And at some point, you know, realize the malpractice that
3:06
is conducted by people like the Milwaukee or the Minnesota
3:11
Minneapolis mayor calling out weapons of war and magazine size
3:17
and when all the time it's the idea that you
3:22
have a right to do as you see fit. And
3:24
certainly you know live and let live is a belief structure.
3:31
But if I don't acknowledge your and this becomes the
3:34
crisis of you know, does the government give you rights?
3:38
What are the rights the government gives you? If you
3:40
have a right to a job, and I don't want
3:43
to hire you because in my business I don't think
3:45
you're going to help my business grow. Can I be
3:47
in trouble just because I didn't give you a job?
3:50
Because you have a right to a job. This is
3:56
one of the reasons. It's a very nuanced and abstract
3:58
and when I rail against all these people want to
4:00
say I have a right to healthcare, I have a
4:03
right to this, I have a right to the other things,
4:07
and giving up I guess in exchange the other rights,
4:13
perhaps they've grown pass a. It's like Prince Harry and
4:18
Meghan Markel. You know, nobody cares anymore. Okay, fine, we
4:22
talked about you a lot for a while at the beginning,
4:24
but moving on, moving on, So we give you those
4:32
first things and then we'll have the stories pressed into
4:35
easily digestible gummies for you, and then I want to
4:38
hear how they're impacting you. US Attorney for the Minneapolis
4:43
Area says that going through Robert, the shooter in Minneapolis
4:50
says the writings were filled with hatred towards multiple groups.
4:54
Speaker 3: Blacks, Mexicans, Christians, and Jews.
4:57
Speaker 5: In short, he says, somewhat in act acurately, the shooter
5:01
appeared to hate.
5:02
Speaker 3: All of us, not all of us.
5:06
Speaker 5: The Trump administration approved eight hundred and twenty five million
5:09
dollars in arms sales to Ukraine, including extended range missiles.
5:14
This as the peace efforts between the US and Russia
5:18
and Ukraine appeared to have stalled. Russia launched one of
5:23
its largest assaults on the capital of Ukraine yesterday. Waves
5:28
of missiles and drones struck Kiev, killing at least twenty
5:31
one people injuring fifty others. President Trump will go to
5:39
the United Nations September twenty third, is when he is
5:41
scheduled to speak. Jim O'Neill, top Security Top deputy to
5:48
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior will serve as acting
5:52
director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Israeli
5:58
forces carried out a series of reikes and raids near
6:01
Damascus on Tuesday and Wednesday. According to reports from Syrian
6:05
Media RB personnel on a field tour near javal Manea,
6:11
outside the town of Al Kishwa, about six miles south
6:15
of Damascus, discovered monitoring devices allegedly placed there by Israeli troops,
6:23
and Kentucky Governor Andy Basher was under fire because not
6:28
only was his state giving drivers' licenses to non citizens,
6:34
a whistleblower says they were being paid. It's nothing in
6:41
the release right now regarding who was paying the two
6:45
hundred dollars each for a license, but they were being
6:48
paid for Those are some of our first things on
6:52
this Friday morning here on the talk media network Big Finish.
7:01
Speaker 7: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
7:04
people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
7:07
to look into.
7:09
Speaker 8: And that's meta share.
7:10
Speaker 7: Maybe you've heard joining metashare can save you or your
7:12
family up to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge,
7:15
but it's also true. People are just happier with it.
7:18
They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
7:21
their values and what they believe in.
7:23
Speaker 8: Meda Share works too.
7:24
Speaker 7: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
7:27
shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
7:31
People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
7:35
So yeah, really you can save a ton and like
7:37
it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
7:40
of your health care, whether you're self employed or part
7:42
of the gig economy, or you just want to plan
7:45
that you're happy with.

7:56
share forty eight five five share.
7:59
Speaker 9: Forty Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
8:07
few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
8:12
I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
8:18
our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
8:22
any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
8:26
or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:32
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:37
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

10:01
a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
10:04
Speaker 3: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and.
10:06
Speaker 12: Kindness, but also their tireless work ethic just look at
10:09
the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss
10:12
foxes who work hard to provide for their young, or
10:14
penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to secure
10:17
food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump
10:20
allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
10:23
search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
10:25
our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful
10:29
pets at home, but because of their acute senses, they
10:32
also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us
10:35
safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
10:38
suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
10:41
there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
10:44
a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
10:46
and help those in need. So please join me an

11:01
Speaker 3: Oh yeah yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 13: And now a speech.
11:07
Speaker 10: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
heart and brain.

11:21
Speaker 16: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
11:24
it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:26
Speaker 17: Who did you know that more than half our household
11:31
energy costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't
11:35
just 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.
11:49
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
11:53
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
11:56
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs, say,
12:00
is when you shop for a new appliance. Look for
12:02
the energy Star logo and read the energy guide label.
12:06
And there are day to day things you can do.
12:09
Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
12:12
close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep

air filters clean. For more tips on saving money, by

Speaker 4: As a family member or friend, you may be the
12:32
first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35

Speaker 11: At the Cursed Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the
13:15
Chunk Media Network, All natural and free of artificial intelligence.
13:30
Speaker 5: He is a former congressman and he is also the
13:35
head of the Good for America Podcast, host of the
13:38
Good for America Podcast, former chair of the Freedom Concuss
13:43
Bob Good Bob Obviously, the tragedy in Minnesota. Again, another shooting,
13:50
and again it's about magazine size, it's about weapons of
13:54
war and all of this, rather than you know a
13:57
kid that had reached adulthood with some real broken parts
14:02
in them. And I know you're a deep man with
14:04
deep faith, and I've said this through the morning is that,
14:08
you know, indulgence is not the same thing as compassion,
14:13
and maybe that's one of the problems we have in society,
14:16
is that we've mixed the two of them up too much.
14:20
Speaker 18: Well, I think I think that's true. And obviously our
14:24
thoughts in prayer, despite what democrats and electus media does,
14:27
go out to the families and the victims who are
14:30
recovering the families of the children who were lost. It
14:34
just tells me once again, we need a hearden our schools.
14:37
We need rapid response teams in the schools of those
14:41
who are trained, who desire to be trained, and armed
14:44
in the school who are concealed carry our teachers, administrators
14:47
and so forth. You know, these these gun free zones
14:51
that our schools are supposed to be obviously proved that
14:53
does not work. And then we also need to look
14:56
at our children and what's going on in our culture,
15:00
which is reflected in these shootings. But you know, it
15:03
needs to be spoken that there's something wrong with a
15:05
person who thinks they are a different sex, wants to
15:07
be a different sex. We need to show compassion and
15:10
try to help them realize God makes no mistakes. They
15:13
were created perfectly male or female, all thirty trillion of
15:17
their cells, or either x X or x Y and
15:20
case nothing you can can do about that, or yy
15:23
and x Y nothing you can do about that. And
15:27
you know you've got you've had this going back to
15:29
twenty eighteen, Aberdeen, Maryland, twenty nineteen Highlands Ranch, the Stem
15:34
School there, twenty twenty two you had the Colorado Springs
15:38
night Club, and twenty three you had the Nashville School
15:41
and then this one just two days ago, all perpetrated
15:45
by trans individuals who are obviously troubled, tortured souls. We
15:51
need to look at what's happening in our schools and
15:53
our culture that's encouraging this, this confusion, this this for
15:56
you and our children.
15:57
Speaker 5: Well, and that's right here, we see it. You know,
16:00
we're one of the battlegrounds here in our home of
16:04
schools saying you know, we won't tell the parents if
16:06
the child says that they're having these issues, and they'll
16:10
encourage it rather than say, well, let's talk about why
16:13
you have such a deep hatred for who you are biologically.
16:19
Speaker 18: Yes, Governor Youngkin was right four years ago to say, hey,
16:22
we're not going to do that without permission from the parents.
16:24
I'll say, once again, he should have went even further
16:26
and said, we're not going to do it in our
16:28
schools period. We're not going to treat a children child
16:31
as a sex other than their God given, God created biology.
16:35
That the science we're going to follow the science of that.
16:37
We're not going to encourage or reinforce that even if
16:40
parents want us to. I mean, you do the right thing.
16:43
Speaker 3: In the schools.
16:44
Speaker 18: But it is a growing problem in our country, and
16:48
it's it's advanced by a radical leftist agenda that's anti family,
16:52
anti god, anti morality, and it's showing up in our
16:56
culture and impact on our society.
16:58
Speaker 5: Well, I know it's College of Football. We can it's
17:00
tough to segue from one to another. But as we
17:02
say goodbye this morning, Bob, Liberty Flames tonight or tomorrow
17:07
night is their kickoff.
17:09
Speaker 18: Mar four o'clock they'll host Maine in their season opener,
17:13
and excited to see the new Flames on the grid iron.
17:15
Speaker 5: Well it's a you know, Bob is if you want
17:17
to talk football with Bob, or wrestling or anything else,
17:20
I'll talk Liberty Flames with him. And Bob, you have
17:23
a wonderful weekend. I hope the flames do well. Uh
17:27
and uh and we'll talk to you again next week.
17:30
Speaker 18: Thank you, Joe, God bless you my friends.
17:32
Speaker 5: In four thirty four eight eight two for two one
17:34
seven is you do that as well? And we're all
17:38
the same. I mean, that's kind of the point of
17:40
saying Bob in Farmville and it's not. I know there's
17:46
people who you know, well, there's you know, what do
17:49
we use the phrase the honorable, the honorable Robert good,
17:54
you know, the honorable, And that's that's all well and
17:57
good because we associate that phrase with a title or position.
18:02
But what if you were dishonorable, what if you weren't
18:05
on you in Bob's case, that's not true. But yeah,
18:09
we're all the concept of America was not built on
18:14
estimable and honor. You know, we're all supposed to be honorable, right,
18:19
I mean, I know it sounds pedantic. Oh Joe, here
18:23
he goes again. You look just like my kids when
18:26
they when your eyes roll like that. Bob out in
18:30
Oregon sent me some more of the the memes that
18:34
I love that when he sends them to me here,
18:38
and I liked this one. While there's a couple of them.
18:41
I liked some of them. I don't know if it's
18:43
polite company for Breakfast to read it, but I don't
18:46
bother arguing with anyone on the left anymore. The level
18:50
of willful ignorance and delusion is just exhausting. I feel you, player,
18:55
I feel you. I've said this half a decade ago.
18:59
I was getting weary of this feeling that every conversation
19:05
was a competition, that there had to be a winner
19:10
and a loser, that I was having a conversation with
19:13
a defense attorney that was deposing a witness.
19:19
Speaker 3: And I don't relish those things.
19:23
Speaker 5: I have testified under oath in court, and you know
19:27
it's not pleasant to feel that level of stress to
19:31
make sure that you're always telling the truth. I have
19:33
been interviewed by federal employees to whom that if I
19:39
misremembered something and wanted to correct it later, I could
19:42
spend ten to twenty eleven worth, or at least five
19:45
to ten in Woolworth for my crime. No note to
19:53
the script writers, that joke doesn't land anymore. It's been
19:57
twenty five years since anyone's ever heard of a Woolworth.
20:01
I mean, it was funny when Graucho said it, But
20:04
you know, outside of maybe there's a building that says
20:06
h W Woolworth on the front of him, and you
20:09
want to hear go to Woolworth's. I mean, they were
20:12
the original discount. They were a Walmart before they were
20:16
was a Walmart minus the campaign that we need to
20:21
do something to stop Walmart. Nobody ever had a campaign
20:26
that said we need to stop the Woolworth Company from
20:29
taking over. Because everything's a campaign now, and that's part
20:34
of why we have these weary because you're trying to
20:40
win the campaign. The campaign should be just to see
20:47
the sunrise and see the sunset and do the best
20:49
you can for the people who you choose to do
20:52
with them. And that's America. With apologies to John Cougar,
20:57
whose song's great on my nerves almost constantly. The only
21:04
one I get, the only one I like is when
21:06
the walls come crumbling down, because I think he's taken
21:08
a shot at himself and celebrity in general.
21:12
Speaker 3: I mean pink houses.
21:14
Speaker 5: And you know, he's one of those people that think,
21:17
you know, the government's job is to make sure we
21:20
all have the same which is funny considering how wealthy
21:23
he is and how massive the you know, and even
21:26
farmers in Indiana rail against Cougar like he a he
21:30
does live aid or farm a farm ad is what
21:33
he does.
21:33
Speaker 3: And they they.
21:34
Speaker 5: That charity has a horrible pass through grate for farmers
21:38
who are looking for help with their mortgages and things
21:41
like that.
21:41
Speaker 3: Anyway, so.
21:44
Speaker 5: Hip deep in hypocrisy this morning, how's those gummies? We
21:48
break up the news and to fight sized gummies and
21:50
help you digest them, and you tell me how they
21:53
impact you at four three four eight eight two four
21:55
two one seven brought to you by First Free in
21:58
the Morning Coffee.
22:01
Speaker 6: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League training for Planet
22:04
Fitness and the American Heart Association recommends that we all
22:07
get at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate
22:10
aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the thing
22:13
that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
22:15
be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could
22:18
just be you moving your body and doing what you
22:20
already love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart
22:23
doesn't just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your
22:27
workout routines with strength training as well, So we are
22:30
super excited to be launching our new plateloaded Strength series
22:34
and all of our gems. It's already fitted in seventeen
22:37
hundred locations, with the goal to have all twenty seven
22:40
hundred fitted by the end of twenty twenty five. So

Speaker 9: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
24:07
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
24:12
I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
24:18
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
24:22
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
24:26
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
24:31
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:36
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
24:42
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
24:45
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
24:50
healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

26:08

call me a ride.
26:15

Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
26:26
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
26:30
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.

One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
26:37
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
26:41
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.

That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
26:47
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
26:51
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
26:54
when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
26:57
energy Star logo and read the energy guide label. And
27:01
there are day to day things you can do. Lower
27:03
your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,

Four three four eight eight two four two one seven

text messages, phone calls. It's a multitasker because, let's face it,
28:28
there's just not enough hands to go around without it,
28:35
tech centers and all of that development.
28:39
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, it is still the
28:41
simple truth.
28:45
Speaker 5: And one of the things that I think has been
28:47
a devastating problem is that we don't we don't go
28:53
looking for the advice of those who went before. I
28:56
didn't for a long time, and there was a point
29:03
in American history where bad things happened. Let me see
29:12
if I can say this without offending anyone like that
29:16
should be my worry, right And well, you let me
29:22
circle back here a second and go back to the
29:25
on set you've heard me use the expression stereotypes are.
29:31
Speaker 3: In existence for a reason? Correct? Sure?
29:35
Speaker 5: Is every deli owner or is every convenience? You know,
29:42
let's ask Joe Biden. You know who owns all the
29:45
seven elevens and dunkin Donuts is in Delaware? You remember
29:50
the famous clip you.
29:51
Speaker 3: Can't go into a store does without hearing an Indian accent.
30:01
The problem.
30:10
Speaker 5: Begins when these stereotypes, which are born in a real place.
30:15
So if something becomes a stereotype, it's imperative on those
30:22
who observe and try to maintain the social order, conservatives
30:28
to look at that and not look the other way.
30:32
And this is going to sound controversial, and I'm not
30:36
saying it just to be controversial, because the tribute to
30:44
those who have done horrific and terrific things for us,
30:49
for our liberty cannot be underappreciated. That you said, hang on,
31:00
I saying first free in the morning. Coffee here, pardon me,
31:06
a piece of the breakfast went in the wrong place.
31:13
But when the American soldiers, yeah, pardon me that when
31:26
the European soldiers came back and the Pacific soldiers came back.
31:34
And I've seen it myself that when those soldiers came back,
31:54
they had seen unspeakable horrors, and we.
31:58
Speaker 3: Did very little win.
32:09
Speaker 5: The pain that they were suffering with and trying to
32:14
understand how they came back, and some were wonderfully able
32:21
to look at the prosperity and the peace and the
32:25
beauty that was the United States that they came home
32:29
to from the destruction that was Europe or Japan, carrying
32:37
the baggage of all the compatriots that they in many
32:41
cases didn't come home with because they died in combat.
32:48
And so they they have this pain, and we did
32:52
a very bad job, I think, and understanding that that
32:55
was okay to have that pain, and that there were
32:58
ways to deal with those people fought specifically to have
33:03
the prosperity and the freedom that we.
33:06
Speaker 3: Had and that it was not a waste or anything
33:11
like that.
33:15
Speaker 5: And then their kids they came home and they had kids,
33:18
lots of kids. Thus the phrase the baby boom. And
33:23
again I'm saying because stereotypes exist for a reason. The
33:28
stereotype of the relationship between those baby boomers and their parents.
33:35
The World War Two soldiers, the greatest generation, freed the world.
33:41
I don't know if we're paying back that sacrifice the
33:43
way we should, But that relationship between those teenagers who
33:51
were going to grow up to be our elder statesman
33:55
of twenty twenty five and twenty twenty four, those Baby
34:00
Boomers that were going to grow up and dominate culture
34:04
the way that few generations have. When they went to
34:08
their parents and said, hey, I'm having trouble in school. Hey,
34:12
so you know this kid is picking on me. Hey,
34:14
I'm having trouble too frequently, the response.
34:18
Speaker 3: Was, you don't know anything.
34:20
Speaker 5: When I was your age, I was in the ardenne
34:24
holding my buddy as he was dying, So don't give
34:27
me your problems.
34:29
Speaker 3: Not an untrue statement, Not an untrue statement.
34:32
Speaker 5: So many of their parents when they were teenagers were
34:36
not worried about who was asking them to the prom
34:39
or you know that somebody picked on them in gym
34:42
class and that relationship stereotypical, yes, but stereotypes are born
34:54
in real soil. Leads us to the Woodstock Music and
35:03
Arts Festival, hate Ashbury, the Summer of Love, Altamont Disco,
35:13
and all the things that have the Bonfire of the
35:17
vanities Thomas Wolfe did again, stereotypes, But stereotypes.
35:21
Speaker 3: Are born of real things.
35:26
Speaker 5: It's been my experience that just because something is a
35:29
stereotype doesn't mean it didn't.
35:31
Speaker 3: Really happen a lot. As a matter of fact, quite
35:34
the opposite.
35:37
Speaker 5: So this generation, the generation of Robert Westman, are not
35:42
the first generation of kids to struggle to get a good.
35:46
Speaker 3: Answer on the pain and suffering that they are going through.
35:51
Speaker 5: The trouble is the first generation that didn't get a
35:53
good answer when they were going through the teen angsts
35:57
in the United States are the ones who are still
36:00
learning everything. And as an armchair sociologist, you look and
36:09
you watch these connections societally, and we have to get better.
36:15
We have to understand that just because it might seem
36:18
trivial to you. My dad, my dad, when I came
36:21
home with trouble. He never told me to shut up
36:23
because when he was my age, he was in a
36:26
Japanese freaking prison camp.
36:29
Speaker 3: Never, never, once.
36:30
Speaker 5: I didn't even know he had been in a Japanese
36:32
prison camp until my aunt told me. And I was
36:36
like fifteen, which was about the age he was when
36:38
he was in a Japanese prison camp. Never once said
36:42
to me my problems were irrelevant because they paled in
36:46
the comparison to his. And it's God's blessing to me
36:51
that my parents had their own issues. Thus my own issues,
36:56
hopefully they're displayed for an entertaining turn for like you.
37:07
I don't know if I use the phrase to be
37:09
honest and I apologize. Karen is ranting, ranting on me
37:15
about that. I feel annoyed when people begin a statement
37:18
with to be honest.
37:19
Speaker 3: Did I say that, you're right?
37:21
Speaker 5: I find that phrase to be if I'm generally speaking,
37:26
when I hear people say that, I'm pretty sure what
37:29
comes next, isn't. That's usually my feeling. When I hear
37:33
somebody say, let me be honest with you, that's the
37:38
warning flag that the bovine excrement is about to start flowing.
37:43
And I apologize if in the onset of the segment.
37:46
I used it and it was poor craft work on
37:51
my part. But we need to have better answers. When
37:54
teenagers and tweens and preteens are having trouble, that's the
37:59
important time time.

45:04
of the Christmas season dropped yesterday.
45:07
Speaker 5: As my friends in the Trans Siberian Orchestra and radio
45:10
people use that phrase too much. My actual friends in
45:14
the Trans Siberian Orchestra dropped the schedule of their twenty
45:22
twenty five tour, and for the first time I started
45:26
looking around besides just my own, myopic little place, and
45:32
looked around and were we found I think about fourteen
45:35
places where they're going to be in concert, and you
45:39
and I get to spend our mornings together. And so
45:44
I'm hoping I've presented a proposal to the folks who
45:48
run the band for my friends, the business side of it,
45:52
to maybe make it possible to give away some tickets
45:55
to the shows in Portland and Youngstown, Ohio, and yeah,
46:03
I know you're there, or for the folks up in Lowell, Massachusetts,
46:07
Manchester show there all over the place, Tampa, Orlando. You
46:15

46:28
There a couple of notes about parenting, child relationships and
46:34
the reason we bring this up because that question was
46:37
asked Maurice asked, she said, and what was the reason
46:41
for that whole rant about parenting because it's how we
46:46
wind up in Minneapolis on Wednesday. I don't know if
46:51
it's correlation or causation, but Robert's mother has hired. The
46:58
first thing she did upon finding out that the newspeople
47:02
calling her were calling her because it was her child,
47:07
she hired a lawyer. Probably not a dumb thing to do,
47:11
but it's a curious reaction, and it's not victim shaming.
47:19
It's trying to prevent this again. There was a there's
47:23
a wonderful group here in our flagship city. We had
47:28
a spate of slow, slow moving tragedies. So often these
47:36
tragedies are flash points and then everyone's kind of left
47:39
there trying to get their equilibrium back after the flashbang.
47:45
But in our flagship city of Charlottesville, long before we
47:48
got known as the place that white supremacists come for
47:51
the David Duke reunions that some college girls, we started
48:01
to become known as a place where college girls were
48:03
going missing. Turned out it was the same guy making
48:06
them go missing, and he's gone away forever. And through
48:11
the work of an amazing police department and police chief
48:13
that dealt with the gathering hordes that the parents of
48:24
one of these co eds. Morgan Harrington started a group
48:27
called Save the Next Girl. I thought it was a
48:32
brilliant start, you know, and I never discussed politics or
48:35
anything like that, but I thought, because their pain isn't
48:39
going to go away, the fact that their daughter was
48:41
murdered by this guy, Jesse Matthew Junior isn't going to
48:45
be changed by anything.
48:47
Speaker 3: So they do as they go out and try to
48:49
help young ladies, especially.
48:52
Speaker 5: Be protected and aware and not get themselves into positions
48:57
where they could fall prey to predators like this Jesse
49:00
at guy.
49:01
Speaker 3: And I thought it was a so.
49:05
Speaker 5: Well grounded approach. And that's what we're doing here today,
49:09
is we're we're laying bare this manifesto of this this
49:14
guy is you know, his support of Hamas. Is it
49:23
the sum total of his manifesto? No, but considering he
49:27
hates everyone else, even the US attorney says he seems
49:30
to hate everyone, Well, no, he doesn't hate Hamas.
49:36
Speaker 3: And I think that's important.
49:44
Speaker 5: That the that that we're doing this to save the
49:48
Next School, that that maybe somewhere there's a parent who
49:54
here is this program and their tween comes to them
49:57
and says, oh, I can't believe, you know, my my
50:00
friends are teasing me because I still like, you know,
50:04
Mack an artist. I don't know who the artists are.
50:07
Taylor Swift. I guess she's the easiest one. And all
50:10
my friends don't like Taylor Swift anymore because she got
50:13
engaged and I'm upset. Don't dismiss their pains as mundane
50:19
as they may seem to a thirty year old. To
50:22
an eleven year old, those are the seeds that start
50:26
to fester, and it's how you deal with those that's
50:31
the daunting, fear, fearful moments that even as a parent
50:38
of thirty year olds, I have twenty five year olds
50:43
who have trouble at work and they're like, I'm a
50:46
complete failure, and no you're not. And sure enough, you
50:50
ride that tumultuous period you're like.
50:53
Speaker 3: Oh no, I'm not.
50:55
Speaker 5: One last one, last call, as it were. Let me
50:58
see who's on the line of four three four eight
51:01
eight two four two one seven. Good morning, you're on
51:03
with Joe Thomas, first thing this morning?
51:05
Speaker 3: Who's this? Helloo? Did we miss a call anyway? All right?
51:15
Speaker 18: So?
51:16
Speaker 5: Uh no and I didn't so uh, Cara writes in
51:22
text message. So sorry, do you misunderstood I was speaking
51:27
about society at large. Okay, So okay, so she wants
51:31
me to clarify that, uh that I miss I misidentified
51:40
her intent with the text. She was just frustrated with
51:44
the vox popular ie using frames to be honest. Well,
51:47
and I'm sure Carrie, you're you're inundated with it in
51:52
the news in Oregon especially, but right now with these
51:57
with the horrors of what's going on in Minnesota, and
52:00
they're all.
52:08
Speaker 18: That you.
52:10
Speaker 5: Have to present yourself honestly all the time. But when
52:18
your kids, no matter how old they are, come to
52:20
you and they're having a problem, you're the one that's
52:24
supposed to.
52:24
Speaker 3: Be dealing with it.
52:26
Speaker 5: And if you think the schools are there to help
52:29
you deal with them. Maybe as help, sure, as a resource, sure,
52:32
But if you expect the schools to deal with your
52:36
kids problems for you, this is how you wind up
52:40
in places like Minneapolis did anyway, So till tomorrow morning, Saturday, Yes, Saturday,
52:47
So long and thanks for all the fish.
52:51
