Latest / First Thing Today with Joe Thomas / "A Plea for the Fifth" (Tuesday December 02 2025, Hour 1)
Transcript
- 0:16Speaker 1: For you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
- 0:23Speaker 2: George said, steal metem. You have a day at least
- 0:28Speaker 2: for work. When the sun comes up, drops a pet
- 0:30Speaker 2: of the scoop. The way Joe has everything a jam
- 0:35Speaker 2: do all the treasures out and needs the one that
- 0:39Speaker 2: Joe's a smile.
- 0:41Speaker 3: He only aims.
- 0:44Speaker 4: Let him be Joe, thank you for letting us be
- 0:47Speaker 4: of service to you this morning. You know, I want
- 0:52Speaker 4: somebody at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory or the CDC or
- 0:57Speaker 4: someplace to examine the physics of time and space, because
- 1:03Speaker 4: I truly believe that there is an acceleration that happens,
- 1:06Speaker 4: and it's not when you're near a black hole or
- 1:10Speaker 4: some other sort of cosmic events, not even as you
- 1:14Speaker 4: approach the sun. There just seems to be a compression
- 1:19Speaker 4: in time. When deadlines approach, everything's going along click click click,
- 1:26Speaker 4: and then there's five am Eastern approaches. It gets click
- 1:29Speaker 4: click clicked. Where did those minutes go? It was like
- 1:32Speaker 4: ten minutes to five, like well ten minutes ago. But
- 1:37Speaker 4: I'm sure your deadlines are the same way. It's just
- 1:40Speaker 4: as soon as that deadline is near, all of a sudden,
- 1:43Speaker 4: those last few seconds go so much faster than the
- 1:47Speaker 4: normal chronograms will set up for you. But my problems notwithstanding,
- 1:53Speaker 4: here so much to get into this morning, including Christy
- 1:57Speaker 4: Nome saying that she wants a full travel ban after
- 2:02Speaker 4: meeting with Donald Trump. Now there isn't one. Press is
- 2:05Speaker 4: acting like there is one, but there isn't a travel
- 2:09Speaker 4: ban yet. But her statement certainly is incendiary. I just
- 2:18Speaker 4: met with the President. I am recommending a full travel
- 2:21Speaker 4: ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation
- 2:25Speaker 4: with killers, leeches and entitlement junkies. Gnome said, Now you know,
- 2:30Speaker 4: and here's where you know, you gotta I don't know,
- 2:33Speaker 4: you gotta sit down. And because are they, as she
- 2:38Speaker 4: stated about the killer of the National Guards troops, were
- 2:44Speaker 4: they entitlement junkies before they got here or did we
- 2:49Speaker 4: hook them on the goodies? Did we teach them how
- 2:54Speaker 4: to tap a vein and get hooked on our particular
- 2:58Speaker 4: form of ope it, Because that's that's a reasonable question
- 3:04Speaker 4: I have. And you know, so before we start saying
- 3:07Speaker 4: they came here as an entitlement junkies. Now many of them,
- 3:12Speaker 4: we've seen the reports going through these Central American deep
- 3:17Speaker 4: whole countries with announcements saying hey, come on down, US
- 3:25Speaker 4: has lots and lots of goodies for you. And so
- 3:32Speaker 4: they come, they get on the buses, they show up
- 3:35Speaker 4: at these these rest areas in the middle of Mexico
- 3:38Speaker 4: that I'm still told by people don't exist. And when
- 3:41Speaker 4: I show them the video, they're like, oh, that's Ai.
- 3:47Speaker 4: You know, I know AI when I see it. Well,
- 3:50Speaker 4: I think I do. Anyway, we're still kind of new
- 3:52Speaker 4: in the whole scenario. It's like this video that's circulating
- 3:58Speaker 4: that I'm still trying to ft of mister Rogers neighborhood
- 4:01Speaker 4: after the rfk asss andations, just you know, with the
- 4:07Speaker 4: little things like when the lips don't sync up with
- 4:10Speaker 4: the words that they're saying, and not that they are
- 4:12Speaker 4: out of sync, their lips don't appear to be making
- 4:16Speaker 4: the same word. But we'll get into all of that
- 4:19Speaker 4: coming up for you this morning. But our first things
- 4:22Speaker 4: this morning, we mentioned Christinome and her incendiary statements regarding
- 4:28Speaker 4: immigrants coming through, migrants coming through, leeches and entitlement junkies
- 4:34Speaker 4: calling on a full travelman. No announcement of any same yet.
- 4:38Speaker 4: President Trump held TNKS Monday with advisors. According to a
- 4:42Speaker 4: report from the White House that is built on putting
- 4:46Speaker 4: pressure on Venezuelan's government to oust Nicholas Medoro. Meanwhile, Russia
- 4:56Speaker 4: has begun evacuating citizens from Venezuela. Announcements across Russian media
- 5:03Speaker 4: that visitors and residents and citizens that are in the
- 5:09Speaker 4: South American country should get out. The Association of Tour
- 5:15Speaker 4: Operators in Russia confirmed the press that flights are being
- 5:19Speaker 4: organized to remove Russians at haste from Venezuela. Department of
- 5:25Speaker 4: Energy Monday announced one hundred and thirty four million dollars
- 5:29Speaker 4: in funding opportunities to help drill for and mind for
- 5:34Speaker 4: rare earth elements in the United States. The minerals are
- 5:37Speaker 4: essential for electric motors, defense systems, digital screens, as well
- 5:44Speaker 4: as batteries. President Trump released his MRI that was part
- 5:50Speaker 4: of his annual physical last month. No abnormalities were reported,
- 5:56Speaker 4: and he says in the White House Office confirms that
- 5:59Speaker 4: the President remains in excellent health. According to White House
- 6:03Speaker 4: physician Sean Barbara Barbara Bella, just too many bees in there.
- 6:11Speaker 4: I was about to say, Barbarella, that's a movie. First.
- 6:15Speaker 4: Lady Milania Trump has unveiled the twenty twenty five White
- 6:18Speaker 4: House Christmas theme Home is Where the Heart Is. It's
- 6:22Speaker 4: a presentation that shares personal reflection, national pride, and warm
- 6:27Speaker 4: celebrations of the American spirit. The White House says President
- 6:32Speaker 4: Trump celebrated a historic opportunity on Monday for peace and
- 6:36Speaker 4: stability in the Middle East, as Syria has announced that
- 6:41Speaker 4: they're moving towards getting their sanctions lifted by the US
- 6:46Speaker 4: and after his trial yesterday, Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin
- 6:50Speaker 4: Netanyahu reportedly called the President to let him know how
- 6:54Speaker 4: it went. And those are some of our first things
- 6:56Speaker 4: this Tuesday morning.

- 8:04Speaker 3: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 3: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 3: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 3: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 3: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 3: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 3: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 3: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 3: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 3: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 3: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 9:58Speaker 7: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah and it's always a boy.
- 10:01Speaker 7: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
- 10:03Speaker 7: with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
- 10:05Speaker 7: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
- 10:08Speaker 7: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
- 10:11Speaker 7: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
- 10:14Speaker 7: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
- 10:17Speaker 7: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
- 10:20Speaker 7: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
- 10:22Speaker 7: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
- 10:25Speaker 7: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
- 10:28Speaker 7: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 10:32Speaker 7: they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
- 10:35Speaker 7: us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
- 10:37Speaker 7: whom suffer from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
- 10:41Speaker 7: when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
- 10:43Speaker 7: have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to
- 10:46Speaker 7: society and help those in need. So please join me
- 10:49Speaker 7: an American Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and
- 10:52Speaker 7: all the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together.

- 11:00Speaker 8: Bruh, that's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:05Speaker 9: And now a speech.
- 11:06Speaker 10: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 11:10Speaker 10: heart and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 4: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 8: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
- 11:15Speaker 8: brain is saying when it's time to go home. Somebody
- 11:18Speaker 8: call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 11: Love that guy, me.
- 11:21Speaker 12: Too, know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride.
- 11:23Speaker 12: When it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

- 11:31Speaker 13: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:35Speaker 13: good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.

- 13:09Speaker 16: Sounds absolutely the first thing today on the talk media
- 13:14Speaker 16: network by Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas in Charlottesville. Amen,
- 13:30Speaker 16: that is it.
- 13:35Speaker 4: Bob listening out in Portland this morning, sent me another
- 13:38Speaker 4: great graphic, sends me memes in the morning, kind of
- 13:42Speaker 4: you know set, the set where his mindset is. Conformity
- 13:47Speaker 4: is doing what everyone else is doing, regardless regardless of
- 13:51Speaker 4: what is right. Biblical obedience is doing what is right
- 13:54Speaker 4: regardless of what everyone else is doing. What's the hard
- 14:00Speaker 4: thing to do is fly in the face of oncoming traffic.
- 14:05Speaker 4: Don't you think when you when you see everyone else,
- 14:11Speaker 4: all of your friends doing something, and you, I just
- 14:15Speaker 4: don't think, do you have? This is really the test
- 14:20Speaker 4: of courage. Can you fly in the face of conformity?
- 14:27Speaker 4: And it was what America was built around. Permitting, encouraging
- 14:36Speaker 4: because our own inborn weaknesses will lead us to conformity
- 14:45Speaker 4: self defeating. And it's that it's that feeling that, oh,
- 14:51Speaker 4: I just want to sit down for a minute. That's
- 14:54Speaker 4: that's the feeling you get when you're driven by that
- 14:58Speaker 4: kind of conformity, when you just feel like, I just
- 15:03Speaker 4: need to sit down? Can I just need because it's
- 15:08Speaker 4: wearisome to constantly feel like you're putting aside the things
- 15:13Speaker 4: that you think and no Ah right, And this is
- 15:15Speaker 4: why the moral underpinning of each individual citizen is America
- 15:24Speaker 4: three hundred plus million individuals with gifts and talents, all different,
- 15:30Speaker 4: sometimes choosing to work together, sometimes choosing not to. It
- 15:34Speaker 4: doesn't there's no organization to it, nor should there be. However,
- 15:41Speaker 4: there are those who say no, no, no. The rest
- 15:43Speaker 4: of the world does it another way, and we choose.
- 15:47Speaker 4: I mean, this is the point of the United States,
- 15:50Speaker 4: is that we choose to associate with who we want to.
- 15:54Speaker 4: We don't do it because the government ordered us to.
- 15:58Speaker 4: We don't do it because we're paid to. Where we
- 16:02Speaker 4: do it because these are the people we want to.
- 16:04Speaker 4: This is what led to the American exceptionalist economy of
- 16:09Speaker 4: the fifties. We chose who we wanted to work for,
- 16:12Speaker 4: and if we didn't like them, We went and chose
- 16:15Speaker 4: to work for someone else. Little by little, we sell
- 16:19Speaker 4: this out for conformity, for ease of operation. You know,
- 16:27Speaker 4: a lot of times it's just it's easier at the moment,
- 16:31Speaker 4: at the moment of the decision, which can be so
- 16:40Speaker 4: fleeting you wouldn't even know it's happening. It's not one
- 16:43Speaker 4: of those you got to report. Now you have to
- 16:45Speaker 4: pour through it and make a decision. Oh what am
- 16:47Speaker 4: I doing here? It really truly is the blink of
- 16:54Speaker 4: an eye, and you don't know sometimes that you're even
- 16:58Speaker 4: making that. What does Horace Cooper call it us on
- 17:03Speaker 4: a societal level, a norm busting decision? But life is
- 17:13Speaker 4: replete with those norm busting decisions, those crossroads, and sometimes
- 17:19Speaker 4: they don't even look like big crossroads. Well, this one's
- 17:22Speaker 4: a little bit over to the left of that. It
- 17:24Speaker 4: doesn't seem like all that big of a deal. But
- 17:27Speaker 4: until you go miles and miles down and you realize
- 17:29Speaker 4: how much different of a location you're in. This is
- 17:33Speaker 4: where the morality of our underpinnings have to be. This
- 17:36Speaker 4: is where when Christy Nomes says that she doesn't want
- 17:40Speaker 4: entitlement junkies coming into her country as Department of Homeland
- 17:45Speaker 4: Security Secretary. And I will again allow for the fact
- 17:50Speaker 4: that though I'm certainly a fan of her governance of
- 17:54Speaker 4: the South Dakota and her administration of the Department of
- 18:00Speaker 4: Homeland Security to this point, I still argue whether the
- 18:04Speaker 4: office itself was an appropriate constitutional construct. That's here, and
- 18:10Speaker 4: as Jefferson told us, we will grow accustomed to those
- 18:16Speaker 4: things that we don't want to change. That way, you
- 18:20Speaker 4: never want to question it, especially when it's one of
- 18:23Speaker 4: our people. When it's Janet Napolitano saying that conservative talk
- 18:27Speaker 4: radio and veterans are the most dangerous thing to homeland security. Hmmm.
- 18:34Speaker 4: I kind of felt bad, didn't it, Especially if you're
- 18:37Speaker 4: a veteran or a talk radio show host. We're supposed
- 18:44Speaker 4: to welcome in people, obviously who want to be in
- 18:47Speaker 4: this country. And this goes back to something we spoke
- 18:49Speaker 4: about yesterday, and we broke into a little bit of
- 18:53Speaker 4: this where we talk about the essential attack on quote
- 19:02Speaker 4: our way of life. But how hard do we vet
- 19:07Speaker 4: that phrase? How hard do we look at what our
- 19:10Speaker 4: way of life, what it means, what is our way
- 19:20Speaker 4: of life? Because our way of life is supposed to
- 19:27Speaker 4: be if I want to do something, find some people
- 19:30Speaker 4: that want to do it with me.
- 19:32Speaker 8: And we go do it.
- 19:33Speaker 4: Now, it's become fill out a form, wait for the
- 19:37Speaker 4: government to say I'm permitted to maybe go to some meetings,
- 19:40Speaker 4: file some documents with the local government, and go in
- 19:44Speaker 4: front of a bunch of neighbors who you may or
- 19:46Speaker 4: may not like, they may or may not like you,
- 19:51Speaker 4: and they get to decide whether you can go about
- 19:54Speaker 4: and do the thing you want to do. These are
- 19:58Speaker 4: the things that we try to fix, just not necessarily
- 20:04Speaker 4: by what we discuss here on the show, but the
- 20:07Speaker 4: fact that we discuss it on the show, that we
- 20:10Speaker 4: lay it out before you, and it is happening right now. Well,
- 20:15Speaker 4: most of your boards and commissions aren't meeting right now.
- 20:18Speaker 4: But these decisions, these rules, the ten thousand Commandments, as
- 20:23Speaker 4: our friend Wayne Cruz at the Competitive Enterprise Institute calls them.
- 20:30Speaker 4: And if you've never looked up Wayne Cruise's work in
- 20:32Speaker 4: the ten Thousand Commandments, you don't. You need to know
- 20:37Speaker 4: this stuff, because this is what drives most of what
- 20:40Speaker 4: we are talking about here, This idea that it's a
- 20:44Speaker 4: permit class now, that you need to get a permit
- 20:47Speaker 4: from your neighbors, and they talk about democratic capitalism like
- 20:53Speaker 4: it's a good thing. Democratic capitalism is just four wolves
- 20:58Speaker 4: and three sheep taking a vote at the local planning
- 21:02Speaker 4: commission to decide what kind of restaurant to allow on
- 21:06Speaker 4: the downtown mall. Will it be Falaffel or will it
- 21:10Speaker 4: be lamb? And guess what? Guess what? We have a
- 21:17Speaker 4: rule here about majority rules, and guess what. It's not
- 21:20Speaker 4: going to be Falafful. Thanks for playing. That's what democratic
- 21:26Speaker 4: capitalism is. I don't like you, so I don't want
- 21:29Speaker 4: you to be able to do the stuff you want
- 21:31Speaker 4: to do. And it's shameful because that's not what made
- 21:36Speaker 4: America great in the first place. You should be able
- 21:43Speaker 4: to go up and get your friends together and do
- 21:46Speaker 4: what you need to do. But we don't want to
- 21:48Speaker 4: allow that because there'll be too many Apple carts turned
- 21:53Speaker 4: over competition. And I haven't given a lot of money
- 21:57Speaker 4: to somebody's campaign just to have somebody open up down
- 22:00Speaker 4: the Blocky Brandt and.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Her name is Shary I love.
- 22:04Speaker 17: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
- 22:06Speaker 17: for because of a surgery.
- 22:08Speaker 4: She just went through.
- 22:09Speaker 18: Yes, and I am very happy about something. You actually
- 22:11Speaker 18: talk about all the time, which.
- 22:13Speaker 4: Is meta share.
- 22:14Speaker 9: That is right.
- 22:14Speaker 17: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
- 22:17Speaker 17: and health care ability?
- 22:18Speaker 18: Honestly brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
- 22:21Speaker 18: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
- 22:24Speaker 18: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
- 22:27Speaker 18: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
- 22:30Speaker 18: call in with your need that is just refreshing. Yes,
- 22:34Speaker 18: that's what it is.
- 22:35Speaker 17: I keep telling people. People love meta share and they
- 22:38Speaker 17: love saving money. The typical family can save five hundred
- 22:41Speaker 17: dollars a month.
- 22:42Speaker 18: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
- 22:46Speaker 18: and I mean different in a very very good way.
- 22:48Speaker 17: It is good different Call now. They're easy to talk
- 22:51Speaker 17: to and you can get a price within two minutes.
- 22:53Speaker 17: Call eight five five share forty. That's eight five five

- 23:06Speaker 19: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
- 23:11Speaker 19: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
- 23:15Speaker 19: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
- 23:20Speaker 19: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
- 23:25Speaker 19: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
- 23:30Speaker 19: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians.
- 23:33Speaker 4: Can focus more on patients.
- 23:36Speaker 19: But, as with any new technology, always keep a human
- 23:40Speaker 19: in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare. AI
- 23:45Speaker 19: is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for your
- 23:48Speaker 19: veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the center
- 23:53Speaker 19: of our profession. For more information on AI and veterinary medicine,

- 24:07Speaker 3: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 24:12Speaker 3: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 3: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 3: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 3: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 3: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 3: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 3: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer and
- 24:45Speaker 3: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:12Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 28:17Speaker 1: As long as.
- 28:27Speaker 9: You're on the air, what's on your mind?
- 28:40Speaker 4: Yeah, of course I've triggered you now and I didn't
- 28:42Speaker 4: mean to do that so early into the program. This
- 28:45Speaker 4: idea of what is our way of life? Because it's
- 28:51Speaker 4: it's a subtext of half of the commentary you hear.
- 28:55Speaker 4: We must defend our way of life?
- 28:57Speaker 5: What is that?
- 29:00Speaker 4: It's live and let live at its essence it is
- 29:07Speaker 4: you can take care of yourself to the best of
- 29:10Speaker 4: your ability, as long as you don't infringe on somebody
- 29:14Speaker 4: else's rights. And here's where the nanny steak gets tripped
- 29:17Speaker 4: up in this. But Joe, how do you and I
- 29:23Speaker 4: have a very arcane view of property. You have a
- 29:28Speaker 4: right to your property. Fifth Amendment guarantees that the government
- 29:34Speaker 4: cannot take your property nationally or locally without your consent
- 29:41Speaker 4: after proving its need. Read the Fifth Amendment. Fifth Amendment
- 29:47Speaker 4: isn't just you know something you plead in court so
- 29:53Speaker 4: that you don't have to self incriminate yourself. I mean,
- 29:57Speaker 4: it's in there. That's part of it, and it's what
- 30:05Speaker 4: everyone seems to know. But the Fifth Amendment also protects
- 30:14Speaker 4: your right to own property. And this is where I
- 30:25Speaker 4: think the sixteenth Amendment falls prey to its own hubris,
- 30:37Speaker 4: because the Sixteenth Amendment one hundred and fifty years afterwards.
- 30:41Speaker 4: So here's the Fifth Amendment for the sake of the
- 30:44Speaker 4: public record. First, no person shall be held to answer
- 30:48Speaker 4: for capital or otherwise infamous crimes, unless on presentment or
- 30:53Speaker 4: indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in
- 30:56Speaker 4: the land or naval forces are in the militia when
- 30:59Speaker 4: in actual service or in time of war or public danger.
- 31:03Speaker 4: Nor shall any person be subject to the same offense
- 31:07Speaker 4: twice put in jeopardy of life or limb. Nor shall
- 31:11Speaker 4: be compelled, in any criminal case to be a witness
- 31:14Speaker 4: against himself. That's the most popular part of pleading the fifth.
- 31:20Speaker 4: Nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due
- 31:25Speaker 4: process of law. Nor shall private property be taken for
- 31:29Speaker 4: public use without just compensation. So what is property is
- 31:36Speaker 4: your income, not your property. And they get around it
- 31:43Speaker 4: because of withholding taxes. I've been told by scholars that
- 31:47Speaker 4: the way they skirt this little proviso is by saying, well,
- 31:53Speaker 4: we take it from you before you actually take possession
- 31:56Speaker 4: of it. It's an agreement with your employer that you
- 32:00Speaker 4: shall pay this tax on your income. And if you
- 32:10Speaker 4: work for yourself, then they're coming after you anyway, because
- 32:13Speaker 4: they still say that it's theirs before it gets to
- 32:16Speaker 4: be yours. My argument has always been and I'm a
- 32:20Speaker 4: weirdo again. Go back to Bob's meme that he sent
- 32:23Speaker 4: to us earlier in the program, will you fly in
- 32:26Speaker 4: the face of conformity? I'm a weirdo even in amongst
- 32:29Speaker 4: the group of conservatives that generally call me friend, because
- 32:33Speaker 4: I maintain very ardently that once the work has been
- 32:38Speaker 4: completed for the compensation, it's already mine if somebody doesn't
- 32:47Speaker 4: pay me, And this is one of the premises that
- 32:50Speaker 4: I make for this. If someone doesn't pay me, I
- 32:54Speaker 4: can take them to court because I've done the work
- 32:56Speaker 4: and they haven't paid me for it. Therefore, there's already
- 33:00Speaker 4: the precedent that, having done the work, do for the compensation.
- 33:06Speaker 4: The compensation is already my property, and by not giving
- 33:10Speaker 4: it to me, you're withholding my property from me. You
- 33:15Speaker 4: see what I get at. And so this idea of
- 33:19Speaker 4: private property under cuts the nanny state. Going back to
- 33:25Speaker 4: what Christy Noms said about entitlement junkies coming into the country,
- 33:31Speaker 4: I mean, we have homegrown entitlement junkies too. But you
- 33:35Speaker 4: get that fixed by putting the government back into the
- 33:40Speaker 4: case where in order to take my property, nor shall
- 33:48Speaker 4: private property be taken for public use without just compensation.
- 33:53Speaker 4: There it is right in black and white. It's actually
- 33:57Speaker 4: black and kind of yellowy parchment in color. But it's
- 34:01Speaker 4: the point remaining that is the rule of law in
- 34:08Speaker 4: this country. Now, if you come and make your case
- 34:14Speaker 4: that you need my taxes for public use. There needs
- 34:18Speaker 4: to be just compensation, says so right here in the
- 34:21Speaker 4: Fifth Amendment, what's the just compensation? What am I getting
- 34:27Speaker 4: in exchange for the property that I have earned? I'm
- 34:32Speaker 4: getting police protection, I'm getting the court systems to protect
- 34:38Speaker 4: my property against somebody who will violate my rights. Certainly
- 34:44Speaker 4: getting a school division, which you know a majority of
- 34:48Speaker 4: my neighbors have agreed that they want funded by it.
- 34:54Speaker 4: We certainly on a national scale, have an Army, Navy,
- 34:57Speaker 4: Air Force, Marine Corps attached to the Baby Coast Guard.
- 35:05Speaker 4: So there are things that I'm compensated with in exchange
- 35:10Speaker 4: for my property. But where is my just compensation? If
- 35:17Speaker 4: you say, well, we're going to take this money and
- 35:20Speaker 4: give it to someone who like the folks in Cook County, Illinois,
- 35:26Speaker 4: make sixty thousand dollars a year, But that's not sufficient
- 35:29Speaker 4: to rent a room in a house. Well, what if
- 35:33Speaker 4: I want to rent a room? Oh, you're not permitted
- 35:35Speaker 4: to rent a room because we have residency standards and
- 35:38Speaker 4: you can't just rent a room to someone. What do
- 35:42Speaker 4: you mean I can't? And many people my age, you know,
- 35:46Speaker 4: you know, forty fifty sixty. Remember a day when you
- 35:53Speaker 4: could rent a basement apartment. Can't do that most cities
- 35:57Speaker 4: in America now you can't just close off. I mean,
- 36:00Speaker 4: in one apartment I lived in, the door wasn't even
- 36:03Speaker 4: necessarily closed. It was just bolted from the other side.
- 36:07Speaker 4: It wasn't even a separate You could walk up the
- 36:10Speaker 4: basement stairs, knock on the door. They had to let
- 36:13Speaker 4: you in. You couldn't just walk into it. You're not
- 36:16Speaker 4: allowed to do that anymore, even if there's water and
- 36:19Speaker 4: shower and all the other things that of basement apartments,
- 36:23Speaker 4: you know, obviously just out of human decency, would have
- 36:26Speaker 4: if you want somebody to pay you for it. So
- 36:32Speaker 4: then we begin this track down the nanny state. What
- 36:36Speaker 4: is my just compensation? If you're taking my money to
- 36:39Speaker 4: give to Planned Parenthood, where is my just compensation for
- 36:43Speaker 4: that takings? So you can rein in just the nanny
- 36:49Speaker 4: states simply by applying the Fifth Amendment. I brought this
- 36:53Speaker 4: up during COVID. I said, you want to close my business,
- 36:56Speaker 4: that's taking my property. What's my just compensation. They didn't
- 37:03Speaker 4: want to get into that because that would have restricted
- 37:06Speaker 4: how long they could have kept the shutdown going. Because
- 37:10Speaker 4: there was only so much money. So is my just
- 37:16Speaker 4: compensation what I would normally make in my business? Okay,
- 37:20Speaker 4: here's the last three years worth of income statements. You're
- 37:25Speaker 4: going to refill those every month. Yeah, I didn't think
- 37:29Speaker 4: you wanted to close my business down. Did you see?
- 37:32Speaker 4: Their constitution ends the COVID shutdowns too. But they want
- 37:38Speaker 4: to pretend like that's not there, because wow, the Fifth Amendment,
- 37:41Speaker 4: that's about not incriminating yourself. It's also about protecting my
- 37:45Speaker 4: property rights. And that's one of the secrets that they
- 37:50Speaker 4: want to have us forget in our way of life,
- 37:53Speaker 4: which is private property ownership, and it is quickly being
- 37:58Speaker 4: devolved away from our kids. It's mentality.
- 38:02Speaker 21: Hi, it's Mark Falter, hosts of the Financial Fitness Show.
- 38:05Speaker 21: I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
- 38:08Speaker 21: penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately,
- 38:13Speaker 21: for most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case.
- 38:16Speaker 21: Why because most people spend more time planning next weekends
- 38:20Speaker 21: getaway than trying to ensure they're going to pay less
- 38:23Speaker 21: than taxes. My Financial Fitness team has put together some
- 38:26Speaker 21: materials that I know are going to help you. It's
- 38:28Speaker 21: the Tax Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit includes three things,

- 45:31Speaker 4: taxpayer money to terrorist organizations like Al Shabab through the
- 45:39Speaker 4: COVID payouts. And this is what I was saying about.
- 45:44Speaker 4: How you stop this entitlement junkie situation is you stop
- 45:49Speaker 4: taking people's money before they ever touch it. You have
- 45:53Speaker 4: to go to them and make the case each and
- 45:55Speaker 4: every year. But Joe, that would slow the process down. Yeah,
- 46:00Speaker 4: you think, give me a specific list of the things
- 46:05Speaker 4: you're taking my private property to use for, like giving
- 46:09Speaker 4: to this COVID aid program. Okay, who's watching it? Can
- 46:12Speaker 4: I give the money myself? If I give the money
- 46:15Speaker 4: myself to somebody who's out of work because of COVID,
- 46:18Speaker 4: can I have that deducted from what you want to
- 46:21Speaker 4: take from me at the US Treasury? Because this kind
- 46:26Speaker 4: of bureaucracy is exactly what allows people like al Shabab
- 46:31Speaker 4: to use our quote unquote kindness. And I put it
- 46:34Speaker 4: in air quotes simply because it's not actually kindness, it's
- 46:42Speaker 4: what passes for governmental kindness. And oh, well, you know,
- 46:48Speaker 4: we're trillions of dollars in debt. Show why should you
- 46:51Speaker 4: worry about a billion dollars going to I don't know
- 46:54Speaker 4: what has al Schabab done with that money. Maybe we
- 46:58Speaker 4: should go ask al Shabab if, like Planned Parenthood, they
- 47:02Speaker 4: promise not to use the US government money that they
- 47:05Speaker 4: stole from Minnesota for terrorist activities like buying the Sea
- 47:09Speaker 4: four that they'll strap to a baby fill a baby
- 47:14Speaker 4: carriage up with. Maybe they'll just pay their electric bill
- 47:17Speaker 4: with it, because that's what Planned Parenthood tells us they're doing.
- 47:21Speaker 4: This is what I mean about decentralizing. It's not just
- 47:26Speaker 4: about shrink the swamp. It's about putting us back in
- 47:29Speaker 4: control of our private property. Good morning, you're on the
- 47:34Speaker 4: air with Joe. First thing this Tuesday morning. Who's this, hey, Joel.
- 47:41Speaker 4: We couldn't hear you there for a second, Buddy, I
- 47:44Speaker 4: think you said, this is Joel. Okay, now we've got
- 47:46Speaker 4: the wires uncrossed. How are you this morning? I'm okay.
- 47:51Speaker 24: I'm praying for you all. I know you're getting snow
- 47:54Speaker 24: and ice and no, we're.
- 47:55Speaker 4: Getting cold rain. We're getting cold rain. Schools are closed anyway.
- 48:00Speaker 4: But we're getting cold rain right now, and it is.
- 48:02Speaker 4: It's right in freezing, so you've got the culverts and
- 48:05Speaker 4: everything else that will freeze over. But I was telling
- 48:08Speaker 4: a friend who works for the network head end up
- 48:11Speaker 4: in Colorado, where they know it snow, looks like I said,
- 48:15Speaker 4: you have to understand though. Our roads around here in
- 48:18Speaker 4: central Virginia, I swear to goodness we're designed by people
- 48:23Speaker 4: who just followed the goat paths into the woods and said,
- 48:27Speaker 4: I just pave it over. It's kind of worn down
- 48:29Speaker 4: anyway because they wind and twist in ways. I'm not
- 48:33Speaker 4: comfortable on most of the roads in Central Virginia with buses,
- 48:37Speaker 4: school buses on them in sunny, seventy five degree weather,
- 48:41Speaker 4: never mind when there's a chance that it ice is over.
- 48:44Speaker 4: So I'm fine with being more judicious about where we
- 48:48Speaker 4: send our school buses. But my gosh, we don't have
- 48:51Speaker 4: a lot of straight lines in Central Virginia, not like
- 48:54Speaker 4: they do where they get, you know, six seven feet
- 48:57Speaker 4: of snow at a time. So yeah, a lot of
- 49:00Speaker 4: schools closed or delayed openings anyway through it is supposed
- 49:04Speaker 4: to pass through. I have from what I'm told it was,
- 49:07Speaker 4: it is snow year in the DC area, where the
- 49:12Speaker 4: snow jobs happen anytime of year. But I appreciate your
- 49:15Speaker 4: thoughts for it, but yeah, it's it's not serious right now.
- 49:19Speaker 4: It's just a cold rain, which, like I said, can
- 49:21Speaker 4: freeze in some of the spots.
- 49:24Speaker 24: Yeah, they are windy roads. But I wanted to bring
- 49:27Speaker 24: this up because when I think of things too, what
- 49:30Speaker 24: you're talking about. You're talking about Fifth Amendment, but also
- 49:35Speaker 24: I call think certain things fuzzy laws, right, and then
- 49:39Speaker 24: you have president I don't mean our president, but the
- 49:43Speaker 24: president making executive orders which are kind of hard to
- 49:47Speaker 24: those to me are kind of in the fuzzy area too.
- 49:51Speaker 24: But then I guess it was April sixth, nineteen thirty
- 49:56Speaker 24: three there was a president that wanted the started taking
- 50:00Speaker 24: gold from people because because apparently during that time that
- 50:08Speaker 24: they I guess he felt he did it under an
- 50:11Speaker 24: executive order because of I guess there was a trade
- 50:18Speaker 24: the problem with countries that were had been worrying countries.
- 50:22Speaker 24: But I could be wrong.
- 50:23Speaker 26: I don't know, but was a FDR, right, right, I
- 50:28Speaker 26: didn't want to bring that up yet, but but so
- 50:31Speaker 26: that's FDR and then right, And the other thing I
- 50:34Speaker 26: wanted to say too, is when I lived in Virginia.
- 50:37Speaker 24: Your cars get taxed, and of course I don't know.
- 50:40Speaker 24: I didn't have a house, but my car was at
- 50:43Speaker 24: that time when I was thirteen fourteen years old, and
- 50:46Speaker 24: they're taxing and so so if you don't pay your taxes,
- 50:49Speaker 24: can they come and repossess your car? Just like your house?
- 50:52Speaker 24: I mean, can they put your house? So when do
- 50:55Speaker 24: you really own your property or or is it really
- 50:58Speaker 24: your property in one of those states?
- 51:00Speaker 4: I mean it is because there are court proceedings that
- 51:03Speaker 4: have to you know, entail, so you have somebody in
- 51:06Speaker 4: the state or the city or the county. Who that's
- 51:08Speaker 4: going to claim you didn't pay your taxes is going
- 51:10Speaker 4: to have to go before a judge who they went
- 51:13Speaker 4: out to lunch with earlier in the day and prove
- 51:16Speaker 4: to them that you didn't pay your taxes. So there
- 51:19Speaker 4: is still a process. They can't just come and said, yeah,
- 51:22Speaker 4: we said we didn't you didn't pay your taxes, give
- 51:24Speaker 4: us your property yet. But the process has been slimmed
- 51:30Speaker 4: down a lot for efficiency's sake, and it is a
- 51:36Speaker 4: hand in every pocket you can possibly every time you
- 51:39Speaker 4: think of a different pocket to put your money in,
- 51:42Speaker 4: they come up with a way to put it in there,
- 51:44Speaker 4: rather than just coming to you and say, Joel, here
- 51:48Speaker 4: is what we need to take your private property. This
- 51:51Speaker 4: was my point about the Fifth Amendment. Fifth Amendment says
- 51:54Speaker 4: very clearly you cannot be deprived of property without just compensation.
- 52:00Speaker 4: And so therefore, if a government official says I need
- 52:04Speaker 4: your taxes your private property from your income, I get
- 52:10Speaker 4: to say, what are you doing with it? Because that's
- 52:13Speaker 4: my compensation. My compensation is paying for the Commonwealth's Attorney
- 52:17Speaker 4: or DA's office, paying for the police department, or funding
- 52:21Speaker 4: the sheriff's department, those sorts of things. I'm like, hey,
- 52:24Speaker 4: you know what, Okay, let's check that off. How much
- 52:27Speaker 4: do you need from me for the sheriff? How much
- 52:29Speaker 4: do you need from me? Make it like a girl
- 52:32Speaker 4: scout cookie drive. How many somosas do you need? How
- 52:36Speaker 4: many hohs do you need? You know, and truly do
- 52:41Speaker 4: it that way. I know people think, oh, well, it's silly, Joe,
- 52:43Speaker 4: You're just being goofy. But I'm trying to make the
- 52:47Speaker 4: point as absurdly as possible for everyone.
- 52:51Speaker 27: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 52:55Speaker 27: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 52:57Speaker 4: It was Medicare that came through force. There's no hassles,
- 53:00Speaker 4: there was no problem.
- 53:02Speaker 27: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
- 53:05Speaker 27: of such an incredible ministry.
- 53:07Speaker 23: Meta Share is a biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
- 53:11Speaker 23: share each other's medical expenses.
- 53:13Speaker 12: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
- 53:17Speaker 12: with you through the hardest times of your life.
- 53:20Speaker 23: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years old,
- 53:25Speaker 23: and members have shared over eight billion dollars of each
- 53:27Speaker 23: other's medical bills.
- 53:28Speaker 1: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
- 53:31Speaker 16: You can focus on on supporting other people.
- 53:33Speaker 4: Medashare is affordable.
