Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Absolute quit for you from Joe Thomas.
- 0:05Speaker 2: It's first thing today.
- 0:06Speaker 3: Your words that steal me stem you every day, at
- 0:12least for work when the sun comes up, drops a
- 0:14pet to school, then joys everything a jen do all
- 0:19the choses seven needs.
- 0:22Speaker 4: No one that Joe saw is smile.
- 0:24Speaker 5: He only as clee.
- 0:29Speaker 6: Joe.
- 0:30Speaker 2: Here hold these truths. I want to be No one's
- 0:35mart self evident over there. No no, no, no, mister Biden.
- 0:39Not the ones by your corvette. Those are marked evidence. Uh.
- 0:42I know it's very similar for you, sir. Thank you
- 0:45for hanging out with me this morning at four three
- 0:49four eight eight two four two one seven. The radio
- 0:52program that tells you what went on, tells you what
- 0:55we see in between the lines about what went on,
- 0:58but mostly want to hear from you about how it's
- 1:00impacting you where you are. My favorite meme so far
- 1:06circulating the interwebs, or at least the interwebs of the
- 1:09people that the algorithm says I should be listening to
- 1:13and don't kids yourself. That's you know, if you open
- 1:16your internet browser, it already is doing its AI things,
- 1:19saying this is who they should see. And sometimes I
- 1:24think it's also sending you stuff it thinks you should
- 1:27see because we need to tunk you off the ledge.
- 1:30So watch out. Always double triple source things, go back in,
- 1:38go back in and say this is especially when it's
- 1:41in these aggregators. I mean, anyone who lives near any
- 1:47swamp land knows anything with gator in the name is
- 1:51to be watched carefully, at very least. Not saying they
- 1:57shouldn't be there. I'm not saying they should be eradicated,
- 1:59but any thing with are in the name, I think
- 2:01you should be careful around. So you know, you open
- 2:05my edge or Firefox even does it. Now remember remember
- 2:11the good old days, if you're old enough to remember
- 2:14nets Netscape. That was the duck duck goal of the
- 2:23early days of the interwebs, when you wanted to Oh,
- 2:27these folks they're they're like alternative lifestyle folks. They're they're
- 2:33out there hippie. You know. They don't let you gather cookies.
- 2:36They don't they don't even eat cookies. They're so gluten free.
- 2:41It's gluten free internet shopping here this morning. No cookies,
- 2:46no baked goods at all required for listening to first
- 2:50Thing today. Shut down mania. Now that the dust is
- 2:53settling off the Middle East, Pea Steel, It's back to
- 2:57open the government on me. So we must get our
- 3:01first things this morning, and it is shut down Mania.
- 3:08Senate Majority Leader John Thune is looking to back the
- 3:12Democrats into a corner by bringing a full year Pentagon
- 3:17funding bill, separate from a budget bill, but basically what
- 3:24would have been the Defense Appropriation Bill to the Senate
- 3:27floor today. Thune is hoping that doing so will force
- 3:32the Democrats to take action and at very least be
- 3:35able to be tarred and feather with their inability to
- 3:41fund the national defense, and then perhaps pushing them towards
- 3:47an end to what is now into our third week
- 3:50of the partial government shutdown. But my favorite meme, as
- 3:54I was saying to you a moment ago, is the
- 3:56one that's circulating from the Babylon b Democrats swear to
- 4:04keep the government shut down until someone notices. Virginia Senator
- 4:10Tim Kaine says that Obamacare subsidies from the White House,
- 4:16though he wouldn't call them that, and a guarantee from
- 4:19President Trump is what's needed to get the deal done.
- 4:24Speaker 7: People's healthcare premiums don't spike dramatically, which they are set
- 4:28to do by year end in Virginia and elsewhere. And second,
- 4:32we just want an agreement from the President that a
- 4:34deal is a deal. If we shake hands on a
- 4:35deal that this is going to be government funding, you
- 4:39won't unilaterally cancel it next week.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Americans are still more likely to blame the GOP than
- 4:47Democrats for the government shutdown, partial though it may be
- 4:51the uke of Economist. Poll just released shows, however, the
- 4:55gap is narrowing, only six points separate the attitude towards
- 5:00each party. Thirty nine percent of those surveyed blame the
- 5:05President and Republicans for the shutdown. Thirty three percent now
- 5:10blame Chuck Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Democrats
- 5:13in Congress. The administration is planning on with holding forty
- 5:19million dollars from California over what it is saying as
- 5:31a refusal to enforce English language requirements for trucker's Transportation
- 5:36Secretary Sean Duffy said the move is coming after the
- 5:40investigation that found the illegal immigrant truck driver Hajender Singh
- 5:45killed three people after making an illegal U turn and
- 5:49not being able to speak the language. And those are
- 5:53some of our first things on this Thursday morning on
- 5:56the talk media network.
- 6:02Speaker 6: Hi.
- 6:02Speaker 8: This is Bud Foster, co host of Foster and Friends
- 6:05and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
- 6:07fame lunch fail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
- 6:11word win stood for what's important. Now, the Lunch Pail
- 6:14Defense Foundation realizes the importance of helping others. Foundation is
- 6:19a nonprofit corporation that helps fund academic scholarship for eligible
- 6:23high school students.
- 6:24Speaker 2: It's two thousand and nine.
- 6:25Speaker 8: Lunch paild Foundation is raised nearly four hundred dollars in
- 6:31over forty individual scholarships.
- 6:33Speaker 2: We also support an.
- 6:34Speaker 8: Organ transplant program in conjunction with Duke University Medical Center.
- 6:38For information regarding corporate sponsorship or becoming an individual supporter,
- 6:43log on to our site at lunch Paildefense dot com.
- 6:47It's always been important to win, especially when we're helping others.
- 6:55Speaker 2: This portion of First Thing Today also brought to you
- 6:57by First Free in the Morning Coffee.
- 7:01Speaker 9: You know, it's true, difficult times have a way of
- 7:03focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
- 7:07when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is
- 7:09why so many people are joining Meta Share right now.
- 7:13Metashare is a trusted way to save up to fifty
- 7:16percent on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred
- 7:19thousand people have already made the switch. It's pretty obvious why,
- 7:23especially now during this challenging season with health care costs
- 7:27and out of pocket expenses. Going up meta share can
- 7:29save you a lot of money. The typical family saves
- 7:32five hundred dollars a month. Medashare works too. It's been
- 7:36around for thirty years. Members have shared more than five
- 7:39billion dollars of each other's bills. There are different options
- 7:42to choose from to fit your budget. I'll give you
- 7:44the number here in a second, and if you call,
- 7:46you can get a price within two minutes. Maybe now
- 7:49is the perfect time to make the switch and start saving.
- 7:52Here you go call eight five five share forty. That's
- 7:55eight five five shre forty. Eight five five share.
- 8:03Speaker 6: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 10:01Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
- 10:03with animals. I'm not only in all of their beauty
- 10:05and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
- 10:08at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
- 10:11Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
- 10:14or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
- 10:17secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
- 10:20jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
- 10:22in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
- 10:25by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
- 10:28a wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 10:32they also perform life saving work every day.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 11: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
- 10:39They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:41in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
- 10:47in need. So Please join me an American Humane and
- 10:50supporting our heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals
- 10:53on this planet we inhabit together. Go to American Humane

- 11:01Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:05Speaker 12: And now a speech.
- 11:06Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 11:10art and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 12: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
- 11:15brain is saying when it's time to go home, Somebody

- 11:23it's time to go home.
- 11:24Speaker 5: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:28Speaker 16: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 11:31costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just

- 11:39One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can

- 11:56and improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs.
- 12:00When you shop for a new appliance, look for the
- 12:02energy Star logo and read the Energy Guide label, and
- 12:06there are day to day things you can do. Lower
- 12:09your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
- 12:12close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep

- 12:32first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
- 12:40anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,

- 13:11Speaker 1: From the home of the First Amendment. First thing today.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Hey you for letting us be of service to you.
- 13:19There may be and I don't know if it's my
- 13:24technology providers here at our studios have been cutting trees
- 13:28down like their I don't know, trying to get there.
- 13:31Michael palin on. They must have hurt us the other
- 13:34day talking about lumberjacks because they've been outside behind our
- 13:37studios just cutting everything down. And I don't know for sure,
- 13:46but our connections and our connectivity was good beforehand and
- 13:53not so much now. So I don't know. If somebody said, hey,
- 13:56black wire, I don't know. Is a look important. I
- 13:59don't know. Bob didn't shock me when I cut through it.
- 14:03But you may or may not be having issues getting
- 14:06through to us at four three four eight eight two
- 14:09four to two one seven vocally. But I am receiving
- 14:14texts like Bob. Send us a text out there from Oregon,
- 14:19Joel as well, send us some text messages. I like Bob.
- 14:24Bob's this morning. His meme common sense is like deodorant,
- 14:28The people who need it most never use it. As
- 14:32I like that one, Bob. I may have to make
- 14:33that my profile picture there. Joel sent this one. American
- 14:41students are allocated three dollars a day for school lunches.
- 14:45Members of Congress claim an average of sixty eight dollars
- 14:48per meal reimbursement. Maybe it's time to get them to
- 14:52pay for their own lunch. There you go, shut down humor,
- 14:56and Gallo's humor is, as I've said before, in my
- 15:01view as an armchair sociologist, a Monday morning sociologist, if
- 15:08you will, Gallo's humor, I think is one of the
- 15:12true signs of civilization, and it helps us compartmentalize those
- 15:18things that are problem creating in our lives, whether it's
- 15:24a challenge you have at work or at home, coming
- 15:29up with a joke about it, and especially if it's
- 15:32self effacing usually can go a long way. And I'm
- 15:35not trying to I don't mean being disingenuous about it,
- 15:38but I think it helps us process. Speaking of processing
- 15:45like the digestive system of human or perhaps a large
- 15:52varmint of some kind. California has excreted a glock ban
- 15:58and the National Rifle Association has now filed a suit
- 16:04about it. The bill is Assembly Bill, or if you will,
- 16:09for our friends in California and Sacramento and ass Bill
- 16:18twelve eleven twenty seven banning blocks and glock platform pistols.
- 16:26Let me read to you some of this existing law
- 16:30prohibits any person from selling, leasing, or transferring any firearm
- 16:34arm unless the person is licensed as a firearm dealer
- 16:37et cetera, et cetera. This bill would prohibit a licensed
- 16:41firearm dealer from selling, offering for sale, exchanging, give transfer,
- 16:45or deliver any semi automatic machine gun convertible pistol a
- 16:51special except as specified for these purposes. The bill would
- 16:55define machine gun convertible pistol as any semi automatic pistol
- 17:00with cruciform trigger bars that can be readily converted as specified,
- 17:06and pistol converter as any device or instanment. And you
- 17:10know how laws are they just you almost have to
- 17:12make gallows humor out of it. But all the trigger
- 17:19words in there that pun intended to ban the sale
- 17:31of blocks. The National Rifles Association has filed a suit
- 17:40to have this block California. Californian Danielle James is the
- 17:47plaintiff in the suit being pushed by the n RA
- 17:55has sued Attorney General Rob Banta in the Southern District,
- 18:00California over the law. The trouble with this is is
- 18:04if it hasn't gone into a fact yet, a judge
- 18:06is going to throw it off based on the fact
- 18:09that she hasn't been punished by it yet. Poway Weapons
- 18:20and Gear, a firearms retailer, also is co defendant in
- 18:28the lawsuit. Our message to Governor Newsom, writes the National
- 18:34Rifle Association attorneys. Our message to Governor Newsom is simple,
- 18:38we will see you in court. John Comerford Executive Director,
- 18:44Gavin Newsom and his gang of progressive politicians in California
- 18:49are continuing their crusade against constitutional rights. But remember this
- 18:54is and our dear friend Tim Kane explain this to
- 19:01us in his words several months ago, that they actually
- 19:07believe that they are following the Enlightenment the same way
- 19:11Jefferson did. They just only read the part of John
- 19:15Locke that says to secure these rights, governments are instituted
- 19:20amongst men, deriving their just powers from the governed. So
- 19:27they only read that part. They don't read the whole
- 19:29bit in the Enlightenment about what those rights are. They
- 19:33want to invent their own. And I can hear their
- 19:40argument now, well, we're not saying you can't defend yourself.
- 19:43We're not saying you can't own firearms. You just can't
- 19:45own this particular kind. And this is a gateway that's
- 19:51going to be a huge precedent. Like I said, I
- 19:54believe that the initial suit is going to be tossed
- 20:02simply because nobody's actually been punished by it, yet nobody
- 20:06has suffered under it. If I know, these progressive clowns
- 20:10and gowns, but it's the quiet part out loud. It
- 20:20is the gun ban. It is the gun that's the problem,
- 20:24not the person using it, not the person who's trying
- 20:28to stop somebody who's broken into their house. We just
- 20:30had a case of this here in our flagship city.
- 20:36A very very popular teacher was gunned down by a
- 20:39home invasion and was able, though wounded by the insane
- 20:45person who apparently went into some sort of ritualistic invasion
- 20:55of a local cavern and then went out and just
- 20:58invaded this house like he was Charles Manson incarnate Squeaky
- 21:02Frome enacting some scene from Once upon a Time in Hollywood.
- 21:08Invades this couple's home, just goes shooting. They had no
- 21:11connection to them, but the husband was able to get
- 21:15his gun. Even with Virginia's restrictions on how you store
- 21:20it and where it is, he was able to get it.
- 21:22I think he had a thumbprint, so it was quickly opened,
- 21:26the gun safe, got it, shot the guy down in
- 21:29the yard. People the hand ringing do gooders out there's
- 21:33and he was already outside the house. It was on
- 21:35his property still, and he was fleeing, and he had
- 21:38just shot the guy's wife dead and wounded him. But
- 21:47this is the kind of stuff that Gavin Newsom and
- 21:50the great grandchildren of the check your Iron at the
- 21:54town Line crowd that really was the Old West wanted
- 21:58to enact.
- 22:02Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
- 22:06Speaker 18: Yes?
- 22:07Speaker 6: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
- 22:12oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 22:17to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 22:21By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
- 22:27and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 22:31and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 22:35precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 22:38energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 22:41your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide,
- 22:46can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

- 28:11Speaker 1: The first Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk
- 28:15Media Network all natural and free of artificial intelligence.
- 28:20Speaker 4: And I can't I can't laugh at it because, like
- 28:23so many of you who have known people who suffer, doctor.
- 28:29Speaker 23: Doctor the news, I gotta artificial intelligence.
- 28:36Speaker 2: Do I see what you did to that?
- 28:41Speaker 4: Because of unknown diseases or cancers for which there are
- 28:46no cures or there is the beginning of but more
- 28:49work that needs to be done for the cure. What
- 28:53they are doing to push misinformation and lies at the
- 28:58highest level of government, it's criminal and people will die
- 29:03because of what they're doing.
- 29:05Speaker 14: I can't laugh about that.
- 29:06Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
- 29:08Speaker 2: And then she says, it's well, what she said we
- 29:13can't say on the radio. But after a couple of,
- 29:16you know, highballs, I'm sure you'd say it's beeped up too.
- 29:23It's a good day when you have Kamala Harris to
- 29:25wheel out on stage, don't you out there trying to
- 29:28get her twenty twenty eight on.
- 29:31Speaker 15: You?
- 29:31Speaker 2: It certainly seemed like she had been trying to hit
- 29:35the caffeine before she hit the stage. Not the Johnny
- 29:39Walker Healthcare and HHS. And this is the crowd. Remember,
- 29:47this is the follow of the science crowd that says
- 29:52you can't treat a disease, you only have to inoculate
- 29:58yourself from it. And if you get it anyway, oh, well,
- 30:03I want to pull Tim Kain's clip out here, because
- 30:08people don't realize what they're saying about Obamacare in this
- 30:15government shutdown mania. Tim Kain talking about, you know what
- 30:19has to happen in order to get the government open again.
- 30:26Speaker 7: People's healthcare premiums don't spike dramatically, which they are said
- 30:29to do.
- 30:31Speaker 2: Because of Obamacare, covid Era subsidies that are going to
- 30:36expire at the end of the year, and as much
- 30:39a friend of mine said, well, how is this different
- 30:42than the tax cuts that we're going to expire, when well, okay,
- 30:46so one is a tax cut, one is a tax hike.
- 30:49One is an admission that Obamacare was, as our friend
- 30:53Tom pointed out, as I said in twenty ten, designed
- 30:59to crack the system. I wasn't the only one. I'm
- 31:04not claiming that I had some sort of nostradamus like Prescians,
- 31:10but in twenty ten, we were warning you that Obamacare's
- 31:16whole design was to collapse the system, to drive insurance
- 31:21companies out, to leave in huge swaths of the country
- 31:26only the federally mandated options available, subsidized with enormous copeys.
- 31:38I have a dear friend who I think makes like
- 31:42five hundred and six hundred dollars a week and she
- 31:44hasn't eight thousand dollars copey or she has health insurance.
- 31:48Can't use it because unless she's in, you know, with
- 31:52a broken arm, she's not going to come close to
- 31:55the copey. Nor can she afford eight grand out of pocket.
- 32:01But she has insurance, which was the con we were
- 32:04calling out about Obamacare. Let it die. Bring in doctor Kravorkian. Now, please, kids,
- 32:14go look up doctor Cavorkian if you don't know who
- 32:18doctor death is. He was the king of assisted suicide
- 32:23before that became part of Obamacare. Oh, I mean, we
- 32:26call it advisability of care panels. But holy macmuley, I mean,
- 32:34and Kamala Harris go after Robert F. Kennedy Junior and
- 32:38the Department of Health and Human Services for spreading misinformation
- 32:45from the crowd who said we can't treat a disease
- 32:49with readily available medicine to make people well again. What
- 32:55the hell is the medical community there for if not
- 32:59to treat people with readily available medicines to make them
- 33:03well again. I mean, you know, woebe And it's amazing
- 33:07to me. Men and women come back from grief injuries.
- 33:12What do we do with these battlefield hospitals, these mash units,
- 33:17when when a soldier comes in wounded, we're like, let's
- 33:20check his copay, Let's let's see if he's all up
- 33:23to date on Oh he didn't get an vaccination for
- 33:26that RPG wound. I'm afraid we can't cover it's or
- 33:32we will alert your nextative kin for you. That is
- 33:34part of the service. This is the crowd that, when
- 33:39you know a disease comes out because they're on the
- 33:42side of the insurance companies and I'm not. I'm not
- 33:45in there with the US healthcare assassin. I'm just saying
- 33:49that pork nolos dose. Why can't both be true? Why
- 33:55can't the US health insurance industry be complicit in Obamacare?
- 34:00Remember they were all in on it. Everyone was saying, yeah, Obamacare, Yeah,
- 34:05affordable care I yeah, And it was to many commentators
- 34:10credit They saw that, well, they're guaranteed a whole bunch
- 34:13of new clients, But they were also guaranteed a a
- 34:20position that gave them this authority to cancel, to manipulate,
- 34:25to manage people's health care insurance in ways that people
- 34:30I don't think realized was going on. So as they
- 34:34turn around and actually, oh, I don't know, start to
- 34:36need their health insurance, they can't get their health insurance
- 34:42because they don't they haven't spent enough for the copay.
- 34:45They didn't follow all the procedures. And that's where the
- 34:49vax stuff comes in. And that's where all this stuff
- 34:52starts to come in with vaccine mandates and things like that,
- 34:56because we need you to have checked off all the
- 34:59box is in the protocol, so that if you haven't
- 35:06checked off all the boxes in the protocol, then we
- 35:10can deny you service because you didn't follow the rules.
- 35:14It's like you know when Charlie Bucket and Grandpa get
- 35:17to Willy Wonka and say did we win? You took
- 35:21fizzy lifting drinks, you lose. And that's what the insurance
- 35:25companies were told by Barack Obama. And the deal was listen,
- 35:33you do this and then we'll get you out of
- 35:36the business. And health insurance companies. It's a cash flow
- 35:41biz for health insurance. But most insurance companies would love
- 35:47to get out of this industry because it's high cost,
- 35:54low margin stuff. They'd rather go back to flow at progressive,
- 36:00you know, protecting your home and auto stuff that doesn't
- 36:03go around too much, and if it does, generally speaking,
- 36:08there's a replacement value, and it's fairly tangible, and it's knowable,
- 36:12and the actuarials can figure out the amortization of the
- 36:19derivatives of the you know how they all talk in
- 36:23this code, but the bean counters that the insurance companies
- 36:28would love. This is why so many of the insurance
- 36:31companies out there have gotten out of the healthcare marketplace,
- 36:36because it costs them a fortune to do it. Well,
- 36:42apparently I was wrong about our phone line. So that's
- 36:44good news. Good morning. You're on the air with Joe Thomas.
- 36:47First thing this morning. Who's this?
- 36:49Speaker 7: Good morning?

- 36:54I'm okay.
- 36:54Speaker 19: I just wanted to add to your Obamacare. In two thousand,
- 37:00in I think it's like middle twenty seventeen, one had
- 37:04to file my taxes. That the tax preparer, he was
- 37:10off Jack's Beach in Florida. Here he went over, everything
- 37:14is do you have health coverage? And I said, no,
- 37:17sirr I don't. I said, I've been out maybe two months.
- 37:20And then I have to wait for the new job
- 37:23to kick in. And he goes, well, I'm sorry to
- 37:26tell you this. You have a tax penalty. And I
- 37:28said what's that for. He goes, well, that refund that
- 37:31you were supposed to get the whatever, it was like
- 37:34a fourteen hundred dollars, We're gonna have to take about
- 37:39six hundred dollars of it because you didn't pay for
- 37:41any health coverage.
- 37:43Speaker 2: Well, this is the John Roberts penalty. Hang on this.
- 37:47This was when John Roberts determined that Congress was allowed
- 37:51to tax you if you didn't do something, and that
- 37:55became the Obamacare penalty, which was, if you don't buy insurance,
- 38:00we're going to tax you.

- 44:13Speaker 2: First thing today, h Yes, paging doctor Fauci to the
- 44:40doctor's lounge. Bad, bad, bad scene. Joel was on the
- 44:46line with us when we went to break. You were
- 44:48telling us, and Joel is a member of the healthcare
- 44:51industry as a nurse. But you know, even you ran
- 44:54across it, right Joel, And.
- 44:56Speaker 19: I told him, I said, and he understood, was like
- 45:00me talking to you, like being in a room where
- 45:02it was all like hard walls, you know, those soft
- 45:06absorbing for sale, and it was like the echo chamber.
- 45:09And he goes, as I understand that is. I've had
- 45:12other clients come in here with the same situation. I said, well,
- 45:15it's not like I've not applied for healthcare, so my
- 45:19job doesn't It doesn't come up until sixty days. So
- 45:22that'll put me now into four months of you know,
- 45:25the two months of the new year. He's, well, hope
- 45:27hopefully with President you know Trump in office, that was
- 45:31right when he you know, started his term. He goes,
- 45:36it's going to be eliminated because it's been found that
- 45:39it's considered a tax burden versus actually funding, I mean
- 45:45actually for individual funding for your healthcare was considered taking
- 45:49taxes out of people that maybe didn't even need it,
- 45:52which he was talking about like the younger people that you.
- 45:55Speaker 2: Know they could do so. So that's what it was.
- 45:59Speaker 19: And all the stuff with the government, why does it
- 46:03congress in the Senate they have a completely different health system.
- 46:08Why can't we buy into theirs.
- 46:11Speaker 2: Or why can't they share an hours or why won't
- 46:14they share an hours? And that's the problem is you're
- 46:17really seeing this Marxist schism that you know is well
- 46:21where the special people, where the pullet borrow. We are,
- 46:25you know, we were the party leadership, and that's why
- 46:28we have the nice house with the real car and
- 46:31the health insurance and doctors to treat us. You have
- 46:34a clinic that I don't think was mopped in the
- 46:37last six months. And that's the con job of it
- 46:40is is that we were told in twenty ten, get
- 46:44them health insurance, and the Svengali trick was to create
- 46:50this false equivalency between health insurance and health care. And
- 46:58I watched them over and over again just oh yes,
- 47:01oh yes, oh yes. They reached for the gun. Oh yes,
- 47:04oh yes, Oh yes, you've got health care insurance. Hell yes,
- 47:08oh yes, you've got health care insurance. Hell yes. And
- 47:11and you were being fooled. And I kept trying to
- 47:14tell people you're being fooled. Yet there are too many
- 47:18Republicans were scared of being you know, pilloried as against
- 47:22caring for Grandma.
- 47:23Speaker 19: I guess, And here we are, And God rest his soul.
- 47:27John McCain, you know he was a war hero, but
- 47:30he was he was. He was not a hero to
- 47:33me for Americans that that have to he burned us
- 47:37and effectless Republicans that never got this bill, you never
- 47:42got through Obamacare rescinded right, Well, Paul, why where are
- 47:47they now when the government shut down they should be
- 47:50trying to close out Obamacare.
- 47:53Speaker 2: Well, and some of them, I have a wonderful tale
- 47:55of where some of them when some of them went
- 47:56and took positions on the January sixth Commission. And wait
- 47:59till I tell you about the fun and frolic of
- 48:01the January sixth Commission. And a dear old friend of
- 48:04mine might be wearing an orange jumpsuit because he has
- 48:07fall guy written all over him. Yeah, our friend the
- 48:11wrig'lar is back, but I'll get into that in the moment. Joel,
- 48:14you have a blessed morning.
- 48:15Speaker 19: Sir, Thanks you too, Joe, thank you for taking a call.
- 48:19Speaker 2: Well, thank you for making it. I was worried about
- 48:21our phone systems this morning with what appears to be
- 48:24a cut line somewhere. So FBI digging into this controversy
- 48:30over but before the FBI can get there, John Solomons
- 48:36all through the Biden administration as well. John Solomon has
- 48:39had this lockdown. John Solomon was the one who told
- 48:42you about Bearisma holdings. John Solomon was the one who
- 48:46told you about the laptop and what was on it.
- 48:49John Solomon has been the one that's that uncovered the
- 48:53Russia collusion. This guy, you know, Blessed Cash Betel, Blessed
- 48:57Dan Bongino. All well, and good President Trump really did
- 49:02us a disservice by not putting him in charge of
- 49:09the John Solomon as FBI director, because John Solomon should
- 49:14should be at some point in the next three years
- 49:17FBI director. Because the guy gets it. So John Solomon
- 49:21just the news yesterday going into the senators that were
- 49:27surveilled by the FBI, all under the premise of J
- 49:31six congressionalis is from just the news, Solomon writing, congressional
- 49:37investigators collected us stunning thirty million lines of phone data. Now,
- 49:42I don't know how many minutes you know that is
- 49:46or anything, but this is about surveillance. This is about
- 49:50the Patriot Act. This is about all of that thirty
- 49:54million lines of phone data, mapping contacts between conservatives and
- 49:59the Trump Whitehouse US, all in the name of investigating
- 50:02January sixth. It was a massive dragnet that raises civil
- 50:07liberty concerns. John Solomon writes about the lack of limits
- 50:11on the ability of lawmakers to snoop on american's phone call.
- 50:14And of course this is going back to Adam Kinsinger
- 50:18and Liz Cheney and the J six commission. But it
- 50:22involves a dear old friend of mine, former Virginia congressman
- 50:26and chief investigator for the J six commission, A guy
- 50:30who has fall guy written all over him in this
- 50:34Denver Riggleman. Because John Solomon's report goes in to say.
- 50:39In a post Wednesday on Substack, Kinsinger confirmed he had
- 50:44the conversation with the FBI in December of twenty twenty three,
- 50:47telling agents about the data that Wriggleman had collected, but
- 50:52said that he believed the collection of phone records was
- 50:55old news because the congressional subpoenas were public. Like Congress
- 51:01used lawful subpoenas to obtain phone metadata in twenty twenty one,
