0:01
Speaker 1: The first thing today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk
0:04
Speaker 1: Media Network. All natural and free of artificial intelligence, your.
0:09
Speaker 2: Word said, steal me a.
0:12
Speaker 3: Day, he said, all natural.
0:14
Speaker 4: That's the work.
0:15
Speaker 5: When the sun comes up drops a.
0:17
Speaker 3: School, not oh natural.
0:19
Speaker 6: As the one that Joe's as smile, He only eggs.
0:32
Speaker 2: Joe, bless you for letting me be of service to
0:34
Speaker 2: you this morning, the.
0:37
Speaker 3: Friend of mine.
0:38
Speaker 2: Last week, we spoke about this a little bit on
0:41
Speaker 2: the Saturday morning live version of the program, which I know,
0:45
Speaker 2: you know, we get in some places that we don't
0:47
Speaker 2: get normally, and we do have a live Saturday edition
0:51
Speaker 2: of the program because, let's face it, they try to
0:53
Speaker 2: sneak sally out the alley late Friday afternoon. All the
0:57
Speaker 2: controversial stuff happens because they figure it'll be Monday morning
1:00
Speaker 2: before anyone gets a chance to talk about it or
1:03
Speaker 2: impacts anyone polls.
1:05
Speaker 3: But we get out live.
1:07
Speaker 2: On Saturday morning and chop everything up into easily digestible
1:11
Speaker 2: gummies for you. And on Saturday's program, I had just
1:14
Speaker 2: received email from a dear, dear friend and an absolutely
1:18
Speaker 2: really good consultant. And if you know my attitude generally
1:22
Speaker 2: on consultants, you know if I give somebody credit for
1:26
Speaker 2: being a good one, it's because he's more than just
1:28
Speaker 2: somebody who takes your wristwatch and charges you to find
1:31
Speaker 2: out what time it was. He said to me, you know,
1:34
Speaker 2: you should consider having psychiatrists or psychologists do a regular
1:39
Speaker 2: feature on your program to help people through the traumatic
1:44
Speaker 2: brain injury of listening to NonStop politics all the time.
1:48
Speaker 2: And I said to him, I said, yep, I don't
1:50
Speaker 2: think I do NonStop politics. And I showed him several
1:54
Speaker 2: of the emails I get from people saying I don't
1:56
Speaker 2: give a damn about this talk about the president. And
1:59
Speaker 2: he's like, well, that's good if you can, if you
2:01
Speaker 2: can row against that tide and not always talk about politics.
2:05
Speaker 2: So you know, but I think I think there are
2:08
Speaker 2: political connections to things, but more importantly, what is down
2:13
Speaker 2: what is upstream from politics? I mean, if there is
2:16
Speaker 2: the ultimate programming consultant of this show, it's Andrew Breitbart.
2:22
Speaker 2: Culture is upstream from politics, and our.
2:25
Speaker 3: Inability to.
2:28
Speaker 2: Understand thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor,
2:31
Speaker 2: thou shalt not murder. Those things are bigger than g
2:35
Speaker 2: I wonder who's going to win the delegates race in
2:38
Speaker 2: November because they come and they go and if we
2:43
Speaker 2: sell our souls to you know, just oh.
2:46
Speaker 3: We got to win. My team won.
2:47
Speaker 7: Yay.
2:48
Speaker 2: It's like all the people and I don't mean to
2:51
Speaker 2: pick on Yankee fans, especially our friends listening at WGH
2:55
Speaker 2: and Greenwich, but you know all the Yankee fans that
2:59
Speaker 2: were up in arms about Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire
3:04
Speaker 2: and jose Canseco until what was the name Alex Rodriguez
3:09
Speaker 2: got caught up this in a steroid scandal of his
3:11
Speaker 2: own and then they're like, well he was just you know,
3:14
Speaker 2: it was a creature of his time. And you know,
3:17
Speaker 2: either you're okay with it or you're not. Just not
3:20
Speaker 2: win it helps your team win. Gas pumps, boy, it
3:25
Speaker 2: just traveled, drove ten hours to New York, has stopped
3:28
Speaker 2: a few times for gas and according to Chris Wright,
3:32
Speaker 2: who was a guest of CNN State of the Union
3:35
Speaker 2: Sunday morning, he said he thinks gas prices have likely
3:39
Speaker 2: peaked they're going to start coming down. He did say
3:42
Speaker 2: it's possible that on average, the price per cowan will
3:46
Speaker 2: be under three dollars by the end of the year.
3:48
Speaker 2: He said it could be until twenty twenty seven. However,
3:53
Speaker 2: no states yet in the Union, especially the Democrat ones
3:56
Speaker 2: who talk about affordability, have offered to spend their gasoline
4:01
Speaker 2: taxes during this crisis, Concerns grew on Monday that the
4:06
Speaker 2: ceasefire might come apart after an Iranian cargo ship tried
4:11
Speaker 2: to run the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
4:14
Speaker 2: A marine expeditionary unit had to be deployed to board
4:19
Speaker 2: the ship. Munition was shot through the engine, disabling it.
4:25
Speaker 2: And now the US has control and command of the vessel,
4:29
Speaker 2: and everyone is panicking that this is going to be
4:32
Speaker 2: an instance where Iran will retaliate in kind. President Trump,
4:37
Speaker 2: for his part, took a post on social media and
4:40
Speaker 2: said they need to take the deal, meaning the Iranians
4:43
Speaker 2: or the whole country will get blown up. He sent
4:47
Speaker 2: emissaries back to Pakistan for another round of talks, but
4:50
Speaker 2: Iran adamantly said they are not sending anyone to these talks. Sunday,
4:56
Speaker 2: President Trump signed a ten day extension of Section seven
5:00
Speaker 2: two of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. This is the
5:03
Speaker 2: act they used to create the Steel dossier and Russian collusion,
5:07
Speaker 2: but now President Trump wants to keep it around the House.
5:11
Speaker 2: Republican leaders failed to get a five year rewrite or
5:14
Speaker 2: at least an eighteen month renewal, over concerns over whether
5:19
Speaker 2: or not government agents need to have a warrant to
5:22
Speaker 2: look into your Internet and telephone use. Meanwhile, the National
5:26
Speaker 2: Security Agency, according to a whistleblower in Axios, is using Claude.
5:32
Speaker 2: That is anthropics artificial intelligence tool. The sources told Axios
5:37
Speaker 2: they don't know what they're using it for. It's called
5:40
Speaker 2: Mytho's preview. But other government agencies use programs like this
5:46
Speaker 2: to test their systems for vulnerability.
5:49
Speaker 3: Joe didn't.
5:50
Speaker 2: Geneva was sworn in on Monday as Special Counsel to
5:54
Speaker 2: the Attorney General of Florida, and he will be leading
5:56
Speaker 2: the Russia collusion hoax investigation. A grand jury was impaneled
6:01
Speaker 2: in January. And those are some of our first things

Speaker 2: happening in some of these African countries, especially as they

6:56

Speaker 4: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
8:07
Speaker 4: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
8:13
Speaker 4: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:18
Speaker 4: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:22
Speaker 4: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:26
Speaker 4: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:32
Speaker 4: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:37
Speaker 4: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
Speaker 4: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
Speaker 4: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
Speaker 4: healthy cells even from radiation Total Wellness dot com, where

Speaker 11: I'm Andrew Saul, Commission of Self Security. I'm here to
9:05
Speaker 11: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
9:10
Speaker 11: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
9:13
Speaker 11: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
9:17
Speaker 11: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
9:21
Speaker 11: are not from US. Real solid security employees will never
9:26
Speaker 11: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
9:29
Speaker 11: call like this, hang up. Never give the call of
9:33
Speaker 11: your personal information like your social Security number or bank account,
9:38
Speaker 11: or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
9:42
Speaker 11: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
9:46
Speaker 11: enforcement on the Office of the Inspector General at OIG
9:51
Speaker 11: dot SSA dot gov. Share this information with your friends
9:56
Speaker 11: and family.
9:58
Speaker 5: Hiverybody, I'm Jack and it's always a boy.
10:01
Speaker 12: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
10:03
Speaker 12: with animals. I'm not only in all of their beauty
10:06
Speaker 12: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
10:08
Speaker 12: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests. Or
10:11
Speaker 12: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
10:14
Speaker 12: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
10:17
Speaker 12: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
10:20
Speaker 12: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
10:23
Speaker 12: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
10:25
Speaker 12: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
10:29
Speaker 12: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
10:32
Speaker 12: they also perform life saving work every day.
10:34
Speaker 5: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
10:36
Speaker 12: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
10:39
Speaker 12: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
10:42
Speaker 12: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
10:44
Speaker 12: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
10:47
Speaker 12: in need. So please join me an American Humane and
10:50
Speaker 12: supporting our heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals
10:53
Speaker 12: on this planet we inhabit together.
10:55
Speaker 5: Go to American Humane dot org to learn more.
11:00
Speaker 13: Oh brah, that's buzzed.
11:01
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 13: And now a speech.
11:07
Speaker 14: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
Speaker 14: art and brain.
11:12
Speaker 5: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 13: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
11:15
Speaker 13: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, Somebody
11:18
Speaker 13: call me a ride.
11:19
Speaker 15: Love that guy, me too.
11:21
Speaker 7: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
11:24
Speaker 7: it's time to go home.
11:25
Speaker 5: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:29
Speaker 8: Did you know that more than half our household energy
11:31
Speaker 8: costs go to.
11:32
Speaker 9: Heating and cooling.
11:34
Speaker 8: Energy efficiency isn't just good for the environment, It means
11:37
Speaker 8: lower utility bills too. One way to reduce your energy
11:41
Speaker 8: waste is a home energy assessment. Your utility company can help,
11:46
Speaker 8: or you can learn how to do it yourself at
11:47
Speaker 8: energysavers dot gov. That's energysavers dot gov.
11:51
Speaker 9: You'll learn to look for.
11:52
Speaker 8: Air leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes,
11:56
Speaker 8: and improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs
12:00
Speaker 8: is when you shop.
12:00
Speaker 3: For a new appliance.
12:02
Speaker 8: Look for the energy Star logo and read the energy
12:05
Speaker 8: guide label. And there are day to day things you
12:08
Speaker 8: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
12:11
Speaker 8: in the summer, close fireplay stampers when they're not in use,
12:14
Speaker 8: and keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
12:18
Speaker 8: money by reducing your energy waste, check out FTC dot

Speaker 8: gov slash green a tip from the Federal Trade Commission,
12:26
Speaker 8: the nation's consumer protection agency.
12:29
Speaker 16: As a family member or friend, you may be the
12:32
Speaker 16: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35
Speaker 16: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
12:40
Speaker 16: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
12:44
Speaker 17: But help is available.
12:46
Speaker 16: Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories at makethconnection dot net
12:51
Speaker 16: and learn how you can support the veterans.
12:53
Speaker 18: In your life.
12:54
Speaker 16: Treatment works, recovery is possible.
13:12
Speaker 1: We've cut the cost of radio listening. By all, it
13:16
Speaker 1: didn't cost anything in the first place, so let's say
13:18
Speaker 1: one million dollars call it First Thing Today by Joe
13:25
Speaker 1: Thomas on the top.
13:26
Speaker 19: Me, No, not in a creepy way of.
13:42
Speaker 2: Like you would hold a talisman or something. And I'm
13:48
Speaker 2: not really looking in your eyes either. I mean, Eric Carman,
13:51
Speaker 2: can only you know, stretch the metaphor so far. I mean,
13:55
Speaker 2: I know there are people who put a little piece
13:56
Speaker 2: of paper over the radio speakers when I'm on, but
13:59
Speaker 2: I really and don't turn the radio around on the
14:03
Speaker 2: nightstand either.
14:04
Speaker 3: I mean, that's just that's wrong. What am I with
14:08
Speaker 3: the NSA?
14:08
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, I'm using anthropic and claud to
14:12
Speaker 2: go through your personal documents and get back into that
14:17
Speaker 2: in a moment. But this email from a Gene who
14:21
Speaker 2: writes in on the subject. We were just talking about
14:23
Speaker 2: the suggestion that, as a talk radio show that sometimes
14:29
Speaker 2: brings up politics, that we should have regular visits by
14:32
Speaker 2: a psychotherapist. He said, Joe, I have been in therapy,
14:37
Speaker 2: and some of it has been with good therapists, some
14:40
Speaker 2: of it has been with bad therapists. But generally speaking,
14:44
Speaker 2: the best therapy I ever get is if somebody is
14:46
Speaker 2: nice to me at the drive through at the coffee
14:48
Speaker 2: shop I go to. So just keep being positive about life.
14:54
Speaker 2: It's better than all the therapy in the world. Well,
14:57
Speaker 2: I appreciate that, Gene, and thank you, sir, mostly because
15:00
Speaker 2: you know, I'm a shallow as the next puddle, and
15:03
Speaker 2: I just like it when people say nice things about us.
15:07
Speaker 2: But truth be told, I mean, you hit a nail
15:09
Speaker 2: on the head. It's a lot of our stress and
15:13
Speaker 2: our strain in our world. Is man's own inhumanity to
15:17
Speaker 2: their fellow man, isn't it. I mean, from where I'm sitting,
15:22
Speaker 2: it really feels like, Gosh, if we just weren't horrible
15:25
Speaker 2: to each other, and for what for a bunch of
15:28
Speaker 2: politicians who couldn't care less about you individually. Have you
15:32
Speaker 2: ever had that conversation where you go up to your
15:35
Speaker 2: very most favoritist politician say hi, mister congressman, I'm Joe
15:40
Speaker 2: and I volunteered sixty four hours for your campaign. Is like,
15:44
Speaker 2: that's great, kid, I got to go meet with these
15:46
Speaker 2: guys in here in the dining room a little bit.
15:49
Speaker 2: How can I say, I really thank you for all
15:51
Speaker 2: your Here's a sticker You're like, you know, meeting your
15:56
Speaker 2: heroes is not all it's cracked up to be. Sometimes.
16:00
Speaker 2: My friend John Read on with us. John Read, the
16:04
Speaker 2: host of the podcast Read Revolution, was candidate nearly one
16:08
Speaker 2: Virginia's lieutenant gubernatorial race, despite having everyone in his political
16:13
Speaker 2: party against him, and I want to get into that
16:16
Speaker 2: with him in a little bit here. John, I appreciate
16:21
Speaker 2: you hanging on with us. We're talking about the looming deadline,
16:25
Speaker 2: what I like to call election culmination day, when the
16:29
Speaker 2: voting finally ends in Virginia after forty five days. But
16:35
Speaker 2: I wrote a column and you may have seen it, John.
16:37
Speaker 2: It's at Daily Signal dot com, and it's about Virginia's
16:43
Speaker 2: problem with this redistricting and how they should take a
16:47
Speaker 2: key from Maryland who voted no, And I'm going to
16:52
Speaker 2: say voted no because that's one of the slogans is
16:55
Speaker 2: and this raised so Maryland. Looking at what Eric Holder
16:59
Speaker 2: and Baraco Obama wanted to do with politics in America,
17:05
Speaker 2: was it sixty four.
17:10
Speaker 7: No?
17:10
Speaker 3: I'm mixing to the numbers. A thirty four out of forty.
17:13
Speaker 2: Seven seats in Maryland Senate are held by Democrats and
17:17
Speaker 2: they couldn't get the bill to allow them to redraw
17:21
Speaker 2: their districts out of a subcommittee.
17:25
Speaker 3: I mean, that's brilliant.
17:26
Speaker 2: That shows you that some people can check their partisan
17:30
Speaker 2: at the door. And just because Eric Holder wants you
17:33
Speaker 2: to do something doesn't mean you have to do it.
17:35
Speaker 2: And bless them for it. Having lived in Maryland at
17:39
Speaker 2: one point in my life Ocean Pines down the Ocean
17:41
Speaker 2: Han in Ocean City, I was pleased to see Maryland
17:45
Speaker 2: do that.
17:45
Speaker 3: John.
17:46
Speaker 2: Is that an example for the rest of the country
17:49
Speaker 2: because we still have court cases, we still have the
17:51
Speaker 2: possibility of Florida doing their as a Missouri and what's
17:54
Speaker 2: going to happen in several other places. Maryland just voted no.
18:00
Speaker 20: I really hope that people are paying attention to what's happening.
18:02
Speaker 20: I mean, Maryland's in trouble. Maryland's got a lot of
18:05
Speaker 20: issues financially right now. You know, they've got a really photogenic,
18:09
Speaker 20: kind of energetic young governor, and so the Democrats are
18:14
Speaker 20: all excited about that. And he's African American, so that
18:17
Speaker 20: you know, it's their wet dream that he's in that role.
18:20
Speaker 20: But the state is in trouble, and maybe there is
18:24
Speaker 20: some realization that they're about to really face some severe
18:29
Speaker 20: economic problems going forward, and that's tempering their enthusiasm. But
18:34
Speaker 20: not so in Virginia, where you've had good Republican stewardship
18:38
Speaker 20: for at least the last four years. And we are
18:40
Speaker 20: obligated to balance our budget here doesn't mean anything, because
18:44
Speaker 20: once the federal government, with thirty nine trillion dollars in debt,
18:47
Speaker 20: can't pump money into the pipeline, Virginia's budget is not balanced.
18:53
Speaker 9: No one wants to talk about that.
18:54
Speaker 20: I think I'm the only statewide politician who regularly discusses
19:00
Speaker 20: the very very real possibility that we're all insolvent as
19:06
Speaker 20: soon as the federal government goes under but in Virginia,
19:10
Speaker 20: you know, Democrats are drunk with power.
19:12
Speaker 9: You know, they've won by fifteen points of the.
19:14
Speaker 20: Governor's race, and they think that that translates to the
19:20
Speaker 20: people saying do whatever you want.
19:22
Speaker 9: You can tell us one thing.
19:24
Speaker 20: During the election, as candidate, span Berger said she wasn't
19:27
Speaker 20: going to do this, but then two months later she
19:30
Speaker 20: announces she's the first thing she's going to do when
19:32
Speaker 20: she gets in office. The only thing that gives me
19:35
Speaker 20: hope is that her numbers are crashing because people are
19:40
Speaker 20: have seen the fifty one tax increases that she and
19:43
Speaker 20: the Democrats proposed, and they are resentful here in Virginia.
19:48
Speaker 20: Politicians who lie directly to your face during the campaign
19:53
Speaker 20: and then change their mind as soon as they win.
19:56
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, at least give it six months, lady.
20:00
Speaker 2: So John reid On was John, where's your podcast?
20:04

Speaker 2: While I was sitting there wincing in aches and pains
21:10
Speaker 2: of trying to dance at a sweet sixteen party with
21:14
Speaker 2: sixteen year olds and trying to keep up with them
21:17
Speaker 2: and paying the price as I should my deserved comeuppins,
21:21
Speaker 2: I was doing our logistics for July eighth when we
21:25
Speaker 2: had to lost wages Nevada for Freedomfest twenty twenty six.
21:31

22:01
Speaker 21: If something costs less but people are happier with it,
22:05
Speaker 21: that sounds like something to look into, and that is
22:08
Speaker 21: meta Share. Maybe you've heard switching to meta share to
22:10
Speaker 21: pay for healthcare can save many families up to five
22:13
Speaker 21: hundred bucks a month, and that is huge, But it's
22:15
Speaker 21: also true that people are way more satisfied after making
22:18
Speaker 21: the switch too. The members satisfaction rate for meta share
22:22
Speaker 21: is double that of the typical health insurance plan. Double
22:25
Speaker 21: Metashare works too. It's been around for thirty years. Members
22:28
Speaker 21: have shared more than five billion dollars of each other's bills.

24:06
Speaker 4: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
24:12
Speaker 4: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
24:18

24:31
Speaker 4: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
28:20
Speaker 1: the second most Famous Thomas and Charlott's.
28:35
Speaker 2: John Reid on with us Read Revolution podcast host my
28:39
Speaker 2: favorite over the weekend.
28:41
Speaker 3: Uh, it's just you.
28:42
Speaker 2: You can't open technology right now without getting ads. Jerry
28:46
Speaker 2: in Minneapolis confessed that even on his smartphone in Minneapolis,
28:52
Speaker 2: Minnesota getting ads for our redistricting and John, I think
28:56
Speaker 2: your point was well taken. They're just looking for money
28:58
Speaker 2: from anyone they can. And just three percent of all
29:03
Speaker 2: the money raised for the Vote Yes campaign coming from
29:07
Speaker 2: inside of Virginia, which kind of tells you who they're
29:11
Speaker 2: trying to woo here and what they're trying to do.
29:14
Speaker 2: They don't care about you. What did I say earlier
29:16
Speaker 2: about politicians? You go and you find that politician you
29:19
Speaker 2: were such a big fan of, and I cannot tell
29:22
Speaker 2: you even I, boy, that was pampas sounding even I
29:28
Speaker 2: somebody with some gravitas in the world, And I.
29:31
Speaker 3: Don't think it's appropriate. I think you as a voter is.
29:36
Speaker 2: More esteemed position than I as talk radio show hosts.
29:40
Speaker 2: But most elected officials and very much like Hollywood actors
29:45
Speaker 2: and sports figures, did you care about you?
29:53
Speaker 3: Great? Powerful about this.
29:55
Speaker 2: A friend of mine was in an airport one time
29:58
Speaker 2: and was getting bumped off of an airplane and it
30:02
Speaker 2: was because somebody had come in and bought up a
30:04
Speaker 2: whole block of seats and it was being you know,
30:07
Speaker 2: pushed off, and well, we'll try to get you out
30:09
Speaker 2: in the morning. And all of a sudden a voice
30:11
Speaker 2: from behind it was like, Hey, Hey, what are you doing? Hey,
30:14
Speaker 2: no way, this guy's gotta get on this plane. If
30:16
Speaker 2: he don't get on this plane, we don't get on
30:18
Speaker 2: this plane. It was Billy Joel, whose band and road
30:22
Speaker 2: crew were the reason my friend had been bumped off
30:25
Speaker 2: of this flight, and he went postal on this airline clerk.
30:29
Speaker 2: Poor Soulis was saying, you know, no more seats at
30:31
Speaker 2: the end, and Billy Joel's took up for this guy.
30:35
Speaker 2: I get to meet Billy Joel later as a member
30:37
Speaker 2: of the media. Couldn't be a bigger jerk to me
30:41
Speaker 2: because I was, you know, a pilot fish at best,
30:46
Speaker 2: some sort of lecherous hangar on parasite otherwise. I mean
30:51
Speaker 2: that's the way I felt. I love I grew up
30:54
Speaker 2: loving Billy Joel music, but I mean he was he
30:56
Speaker 2: was a complete ass hat to me. And maybe I
31:00
Speaker 2: deserved it, maybe just by my association in the press,
31:03
Speaker 2: I deserved it. But this email comes in on one
31:08
Speaker 2: of the ads. One are the local Republican committees. John
31:12
Speaker 2: had published this ad of Governor Spanberger lighting a match
31:18
Speaker 2: inside a barn and burning down the barn, pouring gasoline
31:22
Speaker 2: on a pile of hay and I love this. The
31:26
Speaker 2: reactions online, oh, that's just artificial intelligence generating that, And
31:34
Speaker 2: I wanted to respond to say, really, what was your
31:37
Speaker 2: first clue, Abigail Spanberger inside a barn that's on fire?
31:41
Speaker 3: You know, you know what?
31:43
Speaker 1: You know?
31:43
Speaker 20: What's not AI generated is plummeting poll numbers and the
31:48
Speaker 20: dissension within the Democrat party. I mean, these people win
31:52
Speaker 20: and then they start tearing each other up. And I
31:55
Speaker 20: have to tell you there's a racial component to it.
31:58
Speaker 20: You have a lot of American leadership and Democrat and
32:01
Speaker 20: the Democrat leadership of Virginia. I mean, we've got a
32:04
Speaker 20: drug dealer, former drug dealers, spent seven years in the
32:07
Speaker 20: federal prison who is now the Speaker of the House
32:10
Speaker 20: of Delegates in Virginia.
32:11
Speaker 9: What a shameful situation.
32:13
Speaker 20: For the Commonwealth, and he and his comrades in the
32:19
Speaker 20: Senate are going after the white lady.
32:23
Speaker 9: It is.
32:24
Speaker 20: If I didn't love Virginia so much, and if I
32:26
Speaker 20: didn't care, it would be amusing to watch. But I'm
32:28
Speaker 20: sickened by it.
32:29
Speaker 2: Well you look at you. You're talking about inner party politics.
32:32
Speaker 2: I mean a lot of this has to do with
32:34
Speaker 2: the tragedy that wound up unfolding in Annandale on Thursday.
32:39
Speaker 2: You know, justin Fairfax was you know, one of the
32:41
Speaker 2: front runners, but Terry mccauliffe wanted another shot at being governor.
32:46
Speaker 2: So you know, the Democrats tore down a fellow Democrat
32:50
Speaker 2: and you know use sex charges that would you know
32:53
Speaker 2: make Eric Swollwell, look, you know, like Larry Flint comparatively,
32:58
Speaker 2: and yet you know, in that day in twenty twenty,
33:01
Speaker 2: it was that was enough to bring down a candidate,
33:04
Speaker 2: and they'd had no compunction about tearing down one of
33:06
Speaker 2: their own and leading to this horrific murder suicide.
33:10
Speaker 9: And it seems like it wasn't true.
33:13
Speaker 20: You know, the guy never was never went to court,
33:17
Speaker 20: he was never charged with anything.
33:19
Speaker 9: This was just a total political hit job.
33:22
Speaker 20: And you know what, what's really shocking to me, Joe,
33:26
Speaker 20: I have seen.
33:28
Speaker 9: And maybe I've missed it, so correct me if I'm.
33:30
Speaker 20: Wrong, but I have seen not one Democrat pause to say,
33:36
Speaker 20: perhaps this is too far. We destroyed a man in
33:39
Speaker 20: his life. And I'm just telling you you wouldn't have
33:43
Speaker 20: had a murder suicide, which is inexcusable.
33:46
Speaker 9: Don't get me wrong, I mean, there's no excuse SMT.
33:48
Speaker 9: I agree that you wouldn't.
33:49
Speaker 20: Have had it had this. Had the Democrats not done
33:52
Speaker 20: this to one of their own people, a prominent black man,
33:56
Speaker 20: had they not lynched him in the streets aiguratively seven
34:02
Speaker 20: years ago, you wouldn't have had this tragedy. And they
34:04
Speaker 20: should be ashamed of their behavior, but they'll do it
34:08
Speaker 20: to a black man in their own party.
34:10
Speaker 9: Guess what they'll do to you.
34:12
Speaker 2: That's the biggest you vote. No, I don't want that
34:15
Speaker 2: to do is get John Reid look for the read
34:18
Speaker 2: Revolution where podcasts are distributed. And by the way, on
34:21
Speaker 2: that subject, John, thank you so much for your time
34:25
Speaker 2: this morning. Search first thing Today by Joe Thomas on
34:29
Speaker 2: the same podcast distributors.
34:31
Speaker 3: We post the show.
34:32
Speaker 2: Hour by hour as a podcast and then we banned it.
34:36
Speaker 2: So well, all right for you listening in farm country.
34:40
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean the same thing as what you do
34:41
Speaker 2: to a sheep.
34:44
Speaker 3: But yeah, we put track a track list.
34:46
Speaker 2: Okay, you know, back in the day of LPs it
34:49
Speaker 2: was banded for easy playback. But the things that mean
34:56
Speaker 2: one thing in a city that mean another thing in
34:59
Speaker 2: the country. So the track list is on there so
35:02
Speaker 2: you can jump ahead. If you want to listen to
35:04
Speaker 2: our spots with John, you can get I guess what
35:07
Speaker 2: would this be our four of the program when we
35:10
Speaker 2: post it up to Spotify and I heart know what. Yeah,
35:15
Speaker 2: I heard podcasts and Apple podcasts and all of that stuff.
35:20
Speaker 2: A couple other things on the Russia collusion investigation, Joe,
35:27
Speaker 2: I heard you mentioned that cash Pattel insists there are
35:30
Speaker 2: going to be indictments coming. So are these going to
35:33
Speaker 2: be low level folks who really had no import to it,
35:38
Speaker 2: or are we actually going to see folks like Strock
35:42
Speaker 2: and Page in a purp walk?
35:46
Speaker 3: You see, because the media has.
35:48
Speaker 2: Made Strock and Page celebrities in the Russia collusion media
35:56
Speaker 2: frenzy over Donald Trump isn't appropriate here. They are exactly
36:01
Speaker 2: who's going to wind up in the purp walk because
36:08
Speaker 2: they are expendable.
36:09
Speaker 1: You know.
36:10
Speaker 2: Obviously James Comey isn't going to be doing a purp walk.
36:19
Speaker 2: Cash Bettel on with Sunday Morning Futures.
36:24
Speaker 26: I think, Jake, every time I see President Trump, he
36:27
Speaker 26: says this repeatedly, that the election was rigged in twenty twenty.
36:30
Speaker 26: I mean, he says it all the time. We all
36:32
Speaker 26: know that, and it's almost getting lost because he says
36:35
Speaker 26: it's so much. You've been at the FBI now fourteen months.
36:37
Speaker 26: Have you done anything about that? And do you have
36:39
Speaker 26: anything to tell us about that?
36:43
Speaker 27: Absolutely, Maria. Look, I've been with the President nearly since
36:46
Speaker 27: day one on this. As as I told you earlier,
36:48
Speaker 27: I was the one that led the effort with folks
36:50
Speaker 27: like Trey Goudi, Johnny Ratcliffe, and Devin Nunas to expose
36:53
Speaker 27: the corruption that tried to thwart President Trump's first presidential
36:57
Speaker 27: election run. And we saw the five of these there
37:00
Speaker 27: and I lived through it, and the media came at
37:01
Speaker 27: me then too. That just shows you that when you're
37:04
Speaker 27: over the target, you keep pumbling the target because the
37:06
Speaker 27: media is going to try and pummel you. We are
37:08
Speaker 27: not going to take this and have not taken this
37:10
Speaker 27: laying down. We did already indict former Director Comy, and
37:14
Speaker 27: that's going through the judicial process. But we also at
37:17
Speaker 27: this FBI, even though we uncovered what we uncovered back
37:20
Speaker 27: in the House Intel days, I had to come in
37:21
Speaker 27: here and find rooms that they hid from the world.
37:23
Speaker 27: I had to come in here and find access on
37:25
Speaker 27: our computer systems in restricted and prohibited case files that
37:28
Speaker 27: they purposely put in places for no one to see
37:30
Speaker 27: and find. We have found all this information. We are
37:33
Speaker 27: working with our Department of Justice partners, and I am
37:35
Speaker 27: never going to let this go because they not only
37:38
Speaker 27: have personally attacked the presidency of the United States and
37:40
Speaker 27: President Trump, but they tried to thwart our elections and
37:43
Speaker 27: rig the entire system.
37:45
Speaker 2: And key to that is that even discussing it, you're
37:49
Speaker 2: going to be blamed for trying to ruin Americans' confidence
37:54
Speaker 2: in elections when this is exactly what I believe any way,
37:59
Speaker 2: we're trying to fike.

38:17
Speaker 22: of Americans are unaware of this fact, according to a
38:20
Speaker 22: recent Harris Pole survey conducted for the American Heart Association. However,
38:25
Speaker 22: the majority of heart disease is preventable. New research has
38:28
Speaker 22: improved the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease and
38:32
Speaker 22: its risk factors. Efforts led by the American Heart Association
38:35
Speaker 22: have reduced deaths from heart disease by half over the

44:12
Speaker 1: News and Analysis Now without artificial colors. The first thing
44:16
Speaker 1: today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk Media Network, And that.
44:31
Speaker 2: Is what happens when the cult of Marxism comes marching
44:35
Speaker 2: down your street. Because you know you're told, oh, this
44:38
Speaker 2: is about fairness.
44:39
Speaker 3: Is this about equity? How many times have you heard this?
44:44
Speaker 2: It's about equity, it's about and you think, oh, equity,
44:48
Speaker 2: we're about equity, and know we're about equality in the
44:52
Speaker 2: United States, not equity. Equity is an end product, is
44:57
Speaker 2: a result. Equality is a.
45:00
Speaker 3: A lifestyle, if you will.
45:05
Speaker 2: And so those who have become part of the cult
45:08
Speaker 2: of Marxism because they think it's about fairness and equity
45:16
Speaker 2: when it's not. There was the very thing Virginians are
45:19
Speaker 2: going to vote for tomorrow. Has fairness in a law,
45:24
Speaker 2: a law that talks about fairness. If this isn't something
45:29
Speaker 2: regardless of who you think should lead the have the
45:32
Speaker 2: most seats in the House of Representatives, any place that
45:35
Speaker 2: can write fairness as ambiguous a legal theme as fairness.
45:45
Speaker 2: This is the same point I've made when people talk
45:48
Speaker 2: about you have a right to housing, you have a
45:51
Speaker 2: right to a living wage, you have a right to healthcare.
45:56
Speaker 3: No you don't.
45:57
Speaker 2: John Locke said it eloquently three hundred years ago. You
46:05
Speaker 2: cannot establish a right for something that requires somebody else
46:10
Speaker 2: to perform a service for you. It's just not possible.
46:14
Speaker 2: That's called slavery. You do not have a right to
46:19
Speaker 2: have somebody serve you, whether it's building you a domicile,
46:24
Speaker 2: maintaining you a domicile, growing food for you, giving you
46:29
Speaker 2: a job, and even if you do, the concept is
46:33
Speaker 2: hard to think of. Imagine what enforcing that right would
46:37
Speaker 2: look like. I wanted to work at the radio station,
46:42
Speaker 2: but they had this guy on, Joe Thomas, and he's
46:45
Speaker 2: infringed on my right to do morning talk radio.
46:51
Speaker 3: What if you went and.
46:53
Speaker 2: Arrested your favorite radio station because they programmed talk music
46:59
Speaker 2: talk shows rather than your favorite music. Do you have
47:02
Speaker 2: a right to be able to hear your favorite music?
47:08
Speaker 2: So when you role play that out, when you game
47:11
Speaker 2: plan it out, you realize how crazy it is. And
47:14
Speaker 2: that's how you wind up in this cult of Marxism
47:17
Speaker 2: because it sounds nice. They're very good at writing the
47:20
Speaker 2: things that sound nice that have very little to do
47:23
Speaker 2: with the outcome. One of my friends who's worked overseas
47:27
Speaker 2: in genocide, not committing it, but trying to bring attention
47:32
Speaker 2: to genocide and ethnic cleansing over the years, is pointed out,
47:38
Speaker 2: the only thing that's guaranteed about Marxism is the body count.
47:45
Speaker 2: Marx rights in the onset of his manifesto that there
47:50
Speaker 2: are going to be people who don't agree and they
47:55
Speaker 2: will have to be removed from the community. Now, in
47:59
Speaker 2: some cases, those who are considered to be a degree
48:02
Speaker 2: of useful, they only go to a re education camp.
48:08
Speaker 2: But many, many of them, ask Chairman Umpapa, mao, mao,
48:12
Speaker 2: just get killed. And that's why when we bring up
48:17
Speaker 2: the political efforts like we did just a few minutes ago,
48:22
Speaker 2: that manifested in the horrific tragedy of a man killing
48:27
Speaker 2: himself and his wife. Not even the sad thing is
48:31
Speaker 2: this tragedy the justin Fairfax story four to one site
48:39
Speaker 2: searches four to one more coverage than this horrific story
48:46
Speaker 2: out of Shreveport, which was to me far more horrific.
48:54
Speaker 2: But it didn't involve somebody who had served in the government.
48:58
Speaker 2: This Elkins guy, I don't think he ever served in
49:01
Speaker 2: the city council or was a Democratic Party leader or anything.
49:05
Speaker 2: He's just something went crazy with him and he went
49:08
Speaker 2: on a shooting sphere. He spoke shot to adults and
49:13
Speaker 2: was it now eleven kids and one of the kids
49:20
Speaker 2: luckily escaped. Client jumped off the roof of a building,
49:24
Speaker 2: injured themselves in the escape but escaped, God bless him.
49:27
Speaker 2: That's going to be a that's going to be a
49:31
Speaker 2: bit of PTSD that you know, you can't say that
49:35
Speaker 2: it isn't born of reality. This email Teresa jt in
49:45
Speaker 2: the Morning Radio at gmail dot com. I never heard
49:48
Speaker 2: of IBB again before this weekend. What what was the
49:51
Speaker 2: story about? Well, fear and loathing on the campaign trail.
49:56
Speaker 2: It was basically an attempt by gonzo journalists Hunter S.
50:02
Speaker 2: Thompson to find out who was copying his stuff. So
50:10
Speaker 2: he was assigned.
50:13
Speaker 3: To cover.
50:17
Speaker 2: The political campaigns and in doing so found himself more
50:26
Speaker 2: and more frequently getting his his stories because he would
50:31
Speaker 2: go talk to people. He would he would do the
50:41
Speaker 2: actual journalism Gonza. They called it gonzo journalism because he
50:47
Speaker 2: would go and actually talk to people. But he decided
50:54
Speaker 2: just to test this out, he decided to invent and
51:03
Speaker 2: immigain addiction. And so they invented this addiction to ib
51:17
Speaker 2: again that Hunter S. Thompson wrote in his piece that
51:21
Speaker 2: McGovern was crippled with this I again addiction, and they started, really,
51:25
Speaker 2: I mean, the candidate was being followed around.
51:28
Speaker 3: Oh tell us about your IB again addiction.
51:31
Speaker 2: He's like, what the hell is ib again and there
51:34
Speaker 2: it is in the Oval office. Yes, I guess it
51:36
Speaker 2: was Friday President signing an executive order part of his
51:40
Speaker 2: right to try campaigns. Uh there, But you know, it
51:45
Speaker 2: is what it is, you know, And there are therapy
51:49
Speaker 2: people say, oh, you know, it's opi it's it's opioid addiction.
51:53
Speaker 3: All of that. I don't know. I think there's a
51:55
Speaker 3: lot of it that.
51:58
Speaker 2: You know, we we push off because we use it
52:01
Speaker 2: long inside because I got yep. Yeah, for everyone who wonders,
52:10
Speaker 2: wonder if this is an anthem or not. Now on
52:14
Speaker 2: the side, this is not celebrating for twenty is it.
52:23
Speaker 13: You know?
52:23
Speaker 2: You could blay your afromn all you want, because I'm
52:28
Speaker 2: yeah exactly. So you celebrate your four twenties however you want,
52:33
Speaker 2: but don't forget there are medicinal things that we deny
52:35
Speaker 2: ourselves as well as just and we will reconvene on
52:47
Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, five Eastern. So long and thanks for all
52:50
Speaker 2: the fish.
52:51
Speaker 22: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
52:53
Speaker 22: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
52:57
Speaker 22: California based chiropractor with more than three years of experience,
53:01
Speaker 22: this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
53:05
Speaker 22: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
53:09
Speaker 22: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
53:12
Speaker 22: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
53:16
Speaker 22: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
53:20
Speaker 22: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
53:24
Speaker 22: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
53:27
Speaker 22: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
53:30
Speaker 22: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
53:33
Speaker 22: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
53:36
Speaker 22: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home,
53:38
Speaker 22: and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos
