"Massie-Formation-Psychosis" (Monday, May 25, 2026, Hour 1) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:02
Speaker 1: We'll do it making mornings great again. We'll do the
0:04
Speaker 1: first thing today on the Tunk Media Act right show, Thomas.
0:09
Speaker 2: We'll do it.
0:09
Speaker 3: Line Jewort said, steal me including Memorial Day. Please for work.
0:16
Speaker 4: When the sun comes up, drops a pet of the school.
0:22
Speaker 4: All the jas needs no one that Joss smile.
0:28
Speaker 5: He only is.
0:33
Speaker 6: Joe.
0:33
Speaker 3: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
0:35
Speaker 3: this morning. Those who get it get it. Those who
0:41
Speaker 3: are joining us because holidays bring time. But to your
0:45
Speaker 3: station loves the fact that we bring live uh analysis
0:50
Speaker 3: of the news, breakdown of the news, and actually reportage
0:53
Speaker 3: of the news to you so it is available to
0:56
Speaker 3: you on days like this. It's very cool to be
0:58
Speaker 3: back in my old stopping grounds of State College, Pennsylvania.
1:03
Speaker 3: Here from Central Virginia and Charlottesville. We were hoping the
1:08
Speaker 3: Nettney Lyons might have made an appearance at the lacrosse
1:11
Speaker 3: Final four, but then again, we were also hoping that
1:14
Speaker 3: the University of Virginia might appear in the lacrosse Final four.
1:18
Speaker 3: And well, penn State made it further than UVA did.
1:22
Speaker 3: They're awkward having Memorial Day to all, and I say
1:27
Speaker 3: happy in the sense that we need to celebrate the
1:32
Speaker 3: sacrifices made by the families who have lost loved ones
1:36
Speaker 3: in military service, as well as celebrate that sacrifice in
1:41
Speaker 3: and of itself. And one of the things that I
1:44
Speaker 3: find happiest is reports from the Veterans Affairs Administration that
1:48
Speaker 3: they're having record number increases, record increases in the number
1:53
Speaker 3: of veterans who are seeking counseling in regards to the
2:00
Speaker 3: the lost feelings, the feelings, all the different pain feelings.
2:03
Speaker 3: You can't just put one label on it. So many
2:06
Speaker 3: different directions bring them to seek a conversation with a
2:10
Speaker 3: professional about how they're feeling and about the pain that
2:13
Speaker 3: they're suffering under. And this is all in an effort
2:16
Speaker 3: to stend the most horrific statistic out there, which is
2:21
Speaker 3: the suicide rate amongst veterans, hopefully coming down from the
2:28
Speaker 3: apex of twenty two veterans taking their own lives and
2:33
Speaker 3: joining those And I think it was appropriate President Trump
2:37
Speaker 3: acknowledging that those who lose that battle, their last battle,
2:42
Speaker 3: should not be dismissed on a Memorial Day. And I
2:46
Speaker 3: think that's very appropriate because these are battles that are
2:49
Speaker 3: still going on and we need to be there for
2:52
Speaker 3: the men and women who volunteer to serve our nation
2:56
Speaker 3: and to defend our liberties, and then it's on us
3:00
Speaker 3: to make sure that we're acknowledging those liberties and treating
3:04
Speaker 3: them well also. So we begin with our first things
3:08
Speaker 3: this morning. And it appears a deal is in the
3:15
Speaker 3: works for an end of hostilities in Iran. Marco Rubio
3:20
Speaker 3: speaking from India.
3:24
Speaker 7: Anything knew, any run We're still work in progress. As
3:29
Speaker 7: I said, you know, we thought we might have some
3:32
Speaker 7: news last night, maybe today. I wouldn't read too much
3:34
Speaker 7: into it. It takes a little while to hear back. So
3:36
Speaker 7: we have what I think is a pretty solid thing
3:38
Speaker 7: on the table in terms of their ability to open
3:41
Speaker 7: up the Straits, get the Straits open, enter into a
3:44
Speaker 7: very real, significant, time limited negotiation on the nuclear matters,
3:48
Speaker 7: and hopefully we can pull it off. It has a
3:50
Speaker 7: lot of support in the Gulf, has a lot of
3:52
Speaker 7: support globally. Every country that we've walked through it understands
3:55
Speaker 7: it is not just very reasonable, but it's the right
3:57
Speaker 7: thing for the world to get done.
4:00
Speaker 3: And Trump said on Sunday the deal has been largely
4:03
Speaker 3: negotiated and they hope to have an address to the
4:06
Speaker 3: nation tonight at nine. Iran's supreme leader, Mabach Kameni, is
4:12
Speaker 3: reportedly hiding in a secret location and can only be
4:15
Speaker 3: reached through a network of couriers. What Mark or Rubio
4:19
Speaker 3: was explaining there designed as CBS News is reporting to
4:23
Speaker 3: conceal his whereabouts. The RFA Line Bay is a British
4:30
Speaker 3: mind sweeper and it's stocked. They're ready to begin mind
4:34
Speaker 3: clearing missions in the Strait of horror moves. President Trump
4:38
Speaker 3: has said allies have not been doing more to support
4:41
Speaker 3: the effort to get the straight open, but the British
4:44
Speaker 3: stand ready to begin the operations to clear the mines.
4:48
Speaker 3: A bystander who was struck by gunfire effort a man
4:51
Speaker 3: fired on to a checkpoint outside of the White House
4:54
Speaker 3: and was fatally killed by fatally shot by US Secret
4:58
Speaker 3: Service officers, remains in serious but stable condition on Sunday.
5:03
Speaker 3: Is it possible to have written something backwards and inside
5:07
Speaker 3: out at the same time? Can send this bank to editorial,
5:11
Speaker 3: the Secret Service said. The bystander, who has not been identified,
5:14
Speaker 3: suffered a gunshot wound described as not life threatening. It
5:18
Speaker 3: was also not clear how he was shot. The twenty
5:22
Speaker 3: one year old was approaching the White House armed and
5:25
Speaker 3: began shooting towards the Secret Service checkpoint, and that damaged
5:31
Speaker 3: chemical tank in southern California cracked over the weekend. Fifty
5:35
Speaker 3: thousand residents of Garden Grove have been evacuated. Fire officials
5:40
Speaker 3: sent a team in overnight. Still no news on whether
5:43
Speaker 3: the pressure in the tank has been relieved. And those
5:47
Speaker 3: are some of our first things this Memorial Day morning.
5:51
Speaker 8: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
5:54
Speaker 8: the American story, but not every site is telling that
5:58
Speaker 8: story honestly and fairly. That's why the Heritage Foundation created
6:02
Speaker 8: the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips
6:06
Speaker 8: American citizens with the tools they need to enjoy the
6:10
Speaker 8: sites that depict some of the greatest moments at our
6:12
Speaker 8: nation's history, analyzing them for historical accuracy, and provides resources
6:18
Speaker 8: for families or educators.
6:20
Speaker 9: Planning a visit.
6:21
Speaker 8: It currently covers over forty five sites in the thirteen
6:24
Speaker 8: original colonies, but sites from all fifty states will be
6:28
Speaker 8: added in time for citizens to celebrate America to fifty
6:31
Speaker 8: this summer. From Mount Vernon to Independence Hall to Gettysburg
6:35
Speaker 8: and more, Americans deserve transparency and sites that steward our
6:40
Speaker 8: history faithfully deserve our gratitude. The Heritage Guide to Historic
6:44
Speaker 8: Sites invites every American to rediscover the places and stories
6:49
Speaker 8: that define our nation, whether it's across the country or
6:52
Speaker 8: in your backyard. Visit Historic Sites dot Heritage dot org

7:01
Speaker 5: You know a lot of times you have to choose
7:03
Speaker 5: between something high quality or.
7:05
Speaker 10: Something that saves you money.
7:07
Speaker 3: But what if you could get both? Why not?
7:09
Speaker 5: Especially when it comes to healthcare, and that is meta Share.
7:12
Speaker 1: You get both.
7:14
Speaker 5: Many families save five hundred bucks a month with meta
7:17
Speaker 5: Share and that's huge. But it's also true that people
7:19
Speaker 5: wind up way more satisfied too, and we know this
7:22
Speaker 5: from research of members. There's a lot they like about
7:25
Speaker 5: meta Share, but especially they love being part of something
7:28
Speaker 5: they believe in. And meta Share works too.
7:31
Speaker 11: It has for more.
7:32
Speaker 5: Than thirty years. There are hundreds of thousands of members
7:36
Speaker 5: who love having telehealth if they need it. They love
7:38
Speaker 5: the huge Ppo network. You can save a ton and
7:41
Speaker 5: like it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking
7:44
Speaker 5: care of your health care. So if you're self employed,
7:47
Speaker 5: or you're part of the gig economy, or you just
7:49
Speaker 5: want a plan you're happy with, you can call right
7:51
Speaker 5: now and get a price in two minutes. Here's the number,
7:53
Speaker 5: call eight five five share forty. That's eight five five
7:56
Speaker 5: share forty eight five five share.
8:04
Speaker 6: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
8:07
Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
8:13
Speaker 6: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:18
Speaker 6: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:22
Speaker 6: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:26
Speaker 6: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:31
Speaker 6: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:36
Speaker 6: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
Speaker 6: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
Speaker 6: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
Speaker 6: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

Speaker 13: Hi everybody, I'm Jackhannah. It's always a boy growing up
10:01
Speaker 13: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
10:04
Speaker 1: I'm not only in awe of.
10:05
Speaker 13: Their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
10:08
Speaker 13: Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
10:11
Speaker 13: or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
10:14
Speaker 13: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
10:17
Speaker 13: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
10:20
Speaker 13: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
10:22
Speaker 13: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
10:25
Speaker 13: by our best friends the canines. We know dogs are
10:28
Speaker 13: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
10:32
Speaker 13: they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
10:35
Speaker 13: us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
10:37
Speaker 13: whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
10:41
Speaker 13: when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
10:43
Speaker 13: have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to
10:46
Speaker 13: society and help those in need. So please join me
10:49
Speaker 13: an American Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and
10:52
Speaker 13: all the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together.

Speaker 14: Bruh, that's buzzed.
11:01
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 15: And now a speech.
11:06
Speaker 2: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
Speaker 2: heart and brain.
11:12
Speaker 3: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 16: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
11:15
Speaker 16: brain is saying when it's time to go home.
11:18
Speaker 2: Somebody call me a ride.
11:19
Speaker 17: Love that guy, Me too, know your buzzed warning signs,
11:23
Speaker 17: call for a ride when it's time to go home.
11:25
Speaker 11: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:29
Speaker 18: Did you know that more than half our household energy
11:31
Speaker 18: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
11:35
Speaker 18: good for the environment, it means lower utility bills too.
11:39
Speaker 18: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
11:42
Speaker 18: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
11:46
Speaker 18: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
11:49
Speaker 18: That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
11:53
Speaker 18: leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
11:56
Speaker 18: improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
12:00
Speaker 18: when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
12:02
Speaker 18: energy Star logo and read the energy guide label, and
12:06
Speaker 18: there are day to day things you can do. Lower
12:09
Speaker 18: your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
12:12
Speaker 18: close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
12:15
Speaker 18: air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by

12:29
Speaker 19: As a family member or friend, you may be the
12:32
Speaker 19: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35
Speaker 19: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
12:40
Speaker 19: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
12:44
Speaker 19: but help is available Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

12:54
Speaker 19: Treatment works, recovery is possible.
13:14
Speaker 1: From the home of the First Amendment. First thing today,
13:18
Speaker 1: information honoring.
13:20
Speaker 3: Is really quite ferocious.
13:21
Speaker 2: It's right.
13:22
Speaker 14: I have to take them line and make them sound
13:23
Speaker 14: precocious for seeing.
13:25
Speaker 1: England in Congress or and mainstream out that.
13:27
Speaker 14: So this information's origins are slightly less atrocious.
13:32
Speaker 3: It's how you hide a delighted lie.
13:34
Speaker 9: It's how you hide a delighted lie.
13:35
Speaker 3: Absolutely it is, and sometimes it isn't even about hiding it.
13:39
Speaker 3: It's making it seem like you're hearing the truth. That's
13:42
Speaker 3: the perhaps most dire part of the gas lighting that
13:47
Speaker 3: we've been suffering the last ten years or so. We've
13:50
Speaker 3: learned that instead of lying, we engage in what I
13:54
Speaker 3: have to credit the source whoever did the graphics for
13:57
Speaker 3: the old Stephen Colbert show on Comedy Central that you know,
14:03
Speaker 3: the one where he was aping Bill O'Reilly mocking if
14:07
Speaker 3: you will, I say aping, because Bill O'Reilly called him
14:11
Speaker 3: out on it and showed up on the show and said,
14:14
Speaker 3: I understand you're doing a news show. Here and it
14:17
Speaker 3: was brilliant. It's a master's class, and I had to
14:21
Speaker 3: deal with somebody who's mocking you show up and say
14:23
Speaker 3: do it to my face, and that's that takes something.
14:28
Speaker 3: Trust me, I've been called out on it, and usually
14:31
Speaker 3: I come through in the clutch. I am that guy
14:34
Speaker 3: who will look at you and if I've called you
14:37
Speaker 3: a terrorist and you confront me about it, I'll say
14:43
Speaker 3: it to your face. As a matter of fact. One
14:44
Speaker 3: instance of it, we were in trouble, if you will,
14:48
Speaker 3: with the local school board chair because you know, typical
14:52
Speaker 3: school board budget negotiations. They claimed, oh, we're going to
14:57
Speaker 3: work on savings and savings and all this, and then
15:00
Speaker 3: showed up for the budget negotiations and said, yeah, we're
15:04
Speaker 3: going to have to cut all your kids teachers if
15:06
Speaker 3: they don't give us more money. And all the parents
15:08
Speaker 3: were there and matching t shirts. You know how school
15:11
Speaker 3: board meetings go, and I just felt like it was
15:14
Speaker 3: some of the most patently terroristic negotiating tactics I had
15:19
Speaker 3: ever seen. You know, we have your children, these are
15:22
Speaker 3: our demands. And I said so on the air. About
15:26
Speaker 3: a week later, I run into the fella and he says, hey,
15:29
Speaker 3: I understand you call me a terrorist. If you're going
15:32
Speaker 3: to call me a terrorist, do it to my face.
15:34
Speaker 3: I looked at him. I said, you're a terrorist. He
15:38
Speaker 3: looked at me. He goes, why won't you have me
15:40
Speaker 3: on the air to call me that? I said, because
15:42
Speaker 3: I don't feel like giving you any more of my airtime.
15:45
Speaker 3: It's bad enough I have to talk about you. Well,
15:48
Speaker 3: I'm going to let you come on the air now.
15:49
Speaker 3: He goes, you owe it to the people. I said,
15:51
Speaker 3: you want to come on the air, I'm going to
15:53
Speaker 3: call you a terrorist to your face as well, on
15:55
Speaker 3: the air. And he did, I mean to his credit,
15:59
Speaker 3: And I said, is it not terroristic to say we're
16:02
Speaker 3: holding your children's favorite teachers hostage? So I'm not somebody
16:07
Speaker 3: who blanches from that kind of stuff. But here is
16:13
Speaker 3: an instance where I'm going to be classified with all
16:16
Speaker 3: the all the people who are against Tommy Massey because
16:23
Speaker 3: Tommy Massey's against Trump on things. And I'm disappointed in
16:28
Speaker 3: Thomas Massey not because he stood up against Trump. It's
16:32
Speaker 3: because it's why he did it. The I don't know,
16:38
Speaker 3: it's more of a disappointment that, of all the hills
16:41
Speaker 3: he could have opposed Donald Trump on he chose some
16:44
Speaker 3: of the most sadly disingenuous and you know, pyrrhic things
16:51
Speaker 3: like like Epstein. He was on NBC. Welker asked him
16:56
Speaker 3: about will you name more names, and he said, sure,
16:59
Speaker 3: I'm going to go on the floor and just start
17:01
Speaker 3: naming names. You know, most horrific thing. Why don't you
17:04
Speaker 3: just start doing that to other criminal investigations in Kentucky's
17:09
Speaker 3: fourth Tom, because we're already dealing with the new McCarthyism.
17:16
Speaker 3: If your name is ever, you could have catered an
17:19
Speaker 3: event paid for by the Epstein group, and you're done.
17:24
Speaker 3: You're done. It is the new scarlet lettering. If you
17:27
Speaker 3: are in some way, shape or form, if you had
17:30
Speaker 3: your parking validated by the Epstein organization, you're done. And
17:36
Speaker 3: that's why it's dangerous for him to weaponize things. This
17:39
Speaker 3: is a little bit of what he said yesterday on NBC.
17:42
Speaker 3: G I director to do the right thing. The next
17:44
Speaker 3: ones who take.
17:45
Speaker 17: Those seats are obligated by law to release the files
17:48
Speaker 17: that these individuals are not releasing.
17:50
Speaker 3: Now, what are those files going to say? And this
17:59
Speaker 3: is what I'm talking about, this truthiness that Colbert introduced
18:03
Speaker 3: me to this word. And I love the word truthiness
18:06
Speaker 3: because you can put truth in a way that it's
18:10
Speaker 3: a lie. Now, I mean it's brilliant, dark, but brilliant,
18:16
Speaker 3: this truthiness of I want the names released, Okay, can
18:19
Speaker 3: you share the context of those names, because just rattling
18:24
Speaker 3: off a list of names of people whose names show
18:27
Speaker 3: up in documents in a criminal investigation is dangerous. It
18:33
Speaker 3: gets people killed, It gets people ruined for no reason.
18:41
Speaker 3: I mean, I did a search of the ex Epstein
18:44
Speaker 3: documents just because I wondered to see if Joe Thomas
18:47
Speaker 3: showed up. There's two instances they're not me. But that
18:51
Speaker 3: doesn't mean some hater on a keyboard warrior screed isn't
18:56
Speaker 3: going to say Joe Thomas and the Talk Media Network
18:59
Speaker 3: shows up up in the Epstein files. Because it is
19:04
Speaker 3: the new McCarthyism. And what's being done in this pursuit
19:09
Speaker 3: of truthiness is to obscure the real question. No offense
19:17
Speaker 3: to Congressoman Massey, who I for ninety percent of everything
19:21
Speaker 3: he's ever stood for love. I say that if you
19:27
Speaker 3: go back to the very first iteration of the documentary
19:31
Speaker 3: The Swamp, it's Matt Gates, Tommy Massey, Ken Buck and
19:39
Speaker 3: Tom Garrett all members of the US House of Representatives
19:43
Speaker 3: at the time, and they're holding a master's class and
19:47
Speaker 3: blowing the whistle on horrific things that are being done
19:51
Speaker 3: that you don't realize that emasculate your representation. Where's that
19:56
Speaker 3: Thomas Massey. Where's the Thomas Massey that came out and said, hey,
20:01
Speaker 3: they're charging me tens of thousands of dollars per quarter
20:05
Speaker 3: to keep a seat on a committee that helps people
20:08
Speaker 3: in my district. And of the other seats on these committees,
20:14
Speaker 3: they're all bought and paid for by contributors. Where's that
20:18
Speaker 3: Thomas Massey. We know where Matt Gates is. He was
20:24
Speaker 3: run out of town by the political leaders of his party.
20:28
Speaker 3: We know what's happened to Ken Buck, and we know
20:30
Speaker 3: what's happened to Tom Garrett. Interesting now Tom Garrett is
20:34
Speaker 3: having a renaissance and he's going to join us, specifically
20:38
Speaker 3: because there's Nazis marching around in an area that I
20:44
Speaker 3: think is going to cause some problems. And he and
20:46
Speaker 3: I share concerns about the appearance of a front full
20:54
Speaker 3: of Nazis in Norfolk, Virginia, marching around the beach. Now,
21:02
Speaker 3: if you know Norfolk, Virginia is center square for the
21:11
Speaker 3: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the United States because
21:15
Speaker 3: the tall ships are all going to leave out from
21:18
Speaker 3: there on their way to New York Harbor. And we've
21:23
Speaker 3: already have curfews because groups of you know, neighborhood youth
21:31
Speaker 3: if you will, have been doing these takeover pop up
21:34
Speaker 3: events on the beach, which has caused the Norfolk City
21:39
Speaker 3: Council to enact curfews and lockdown so you can't go
21:42
Speaker 3: on the beach after I think it's ten o'clock at night,
21:45
Speaker 3: something along those lines. So now those Nazis have shown
21:49
Speaker 3: up there in Illinois Nazis.
21:54
Speaker 1: I hate Illinois Nazis.
21:55
Speaker 3: And they're so reminiscent of the Charlottesville riots of twenty seventeen.

24:07
Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
24:12
Speaker 6: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
24:18

24:31
Speaker 6: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:36

24:42

Speaker 11: Illinois Nazis, I Hate.
28:21
Speaker 1: Nazis First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by
28:25
Speaker 1: Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas in Charlottesville.
28:33
Speaker 3: Foreboding is a feeling that I try to control because
28:38
Speaker 3: I don't want to be chicken little running around saying
28:42
Speaker 3: the sky is falling all the time, because eventually the
28:44
Speaker 3: sky will fall, and I need you listening for that,
28:50
Speaker 3: because that's my job here is to let you know
28:55
Speaker 3: our analysis of the news and certainly to get your
29:00
Speaker 3: feel as to how it's impacting you where you are,
29:04
Speaker 3: and that's how we roll here. And years and years ago,
29:08
Speaker 3: I had a very bad feeling about a group that
29:11
Speaker 3: was gathering in our flagship city, Charlottesville, because they wanted
29:15
Speaker 3: to hold all these anti well these rallies against a
29:21
Speaker 3: city council member, and I thought it was because he
29:25
Speaker 3: was ambulance chasing Democrat who was just using whatever news
29:32
Speaker 3: story suited his narrative to get himself notoriety. No, it
29:37
Speaker 3: turned out it was because he was a black man
29:39
Speaker 3: and they couldn't cotton. That didn't take me along, and
29:44
Speaker 3: I tried my desperate best to keep people in my
29:48
Speaker 3: listening audience from attending this group's rally on August twelfth,
29:52
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen, in Charlottesville. Hopefully, their behavior on August's eleventh,
30:00
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen, in Charlottesville, when they marched across the grounds
30:03
Speaker 3: of the University of Virginia, making it impossible for me
30:06
Speaker 3: to buy citronella torches for a year, proved my point.
30:13
Speaker 3: And it's a little bit of an awkward situation because
30:16
Speaker 3: it was a horrific weekend that weekend of August twelfth
30:20
Speaker 3: of twenty seventeen. But I had the gratification of knowing
30:23
Speaker 3: that I had been right all along, that they were
30:28
Speaker 3: not the right. You could have called them unite the Unicorns,
30:31
Speaker 3: and it would have been nearly as accurate as calling
30:34
Speaker 3: them Unite the Right. But like all viruses, they will
30:39
Speaker 3: come back. And there's concerning video and photographs from some
30:45
Speaker 3: left wing quote journalists in Norfolk, depicting a group of
30:53
Speaker 3: uniformly clad, face mask wearing, Confederate flag wielding and Nazi
31:01
Speaker 3: symbol wearing group marching out onto the beach supposedly in
31:06
Speaker 3: opposition to the curfews and the lockdowns there. And a
31:12
Speaker 3: fellow who was part of an intelligence briefing that told
31:16
Speaker 3: us dire things about those fakers from twenty seventeen is
31:20
Speaker 3: on the phone with us because I think his insight
31:23
Speaker 3: into what happened then, along with what's happening now in
31:26
Speaker 3: Norfolk as we approached the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary,
31:30
Speaker 3: I share his trepidations. He is former congressman. Just was
31:35
Speaker 3: talking about you, Tom. I don't know if you were listening,
31:37
Speaker 3: Tom Garrett. I was listing off all the people who
31:40
Speaker 3: took part in that very first Swamp documentary and how
31:43
Speaker 3: funny enough, they all got done in by their party eventually,
31:47
Speaker 3: including Thomas Massey. And you were the first ken Buck
31:51
Speaker 3: and filmmaker.
31:53
Speaker 9: Yeah, filmmaker actually went out of his way to find
31:56
Speaker 9: people who he thought weren't free thinkers.
32:00
Speaker 3: And you got taught or a lesson about that, right.
32:04
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, you know some things are dangerous thinking for
32:07
Speaker 9: yourself is parently one of them. I usually try to
32:10
Speaker 9: interject humored to kind of get as near so that
32:14
Speaker 9: we can win hearts and minds. There's nothing funny about
32:17
Speaker 9: what we're talking about now, complex that I don't want
32:20
Speaker 9: to any thing.
32:23
Speaker 3: So backstory of it, Yeah, backstory is, you know, after
32:27
Speaker 3: the riots in Charlottesville of twenty seventeen that took the
32:30
Speaker 3: life of an activist and two state troopers, you came
32:34
Speaker 3: on my program and detailed intelligence briefings that gave you
32:39
Speaker 3: details as to who was supporting these people. So you
32:45
Speaker 3: just flash back to that for a moment so that
32:47
Speaker 3: we have that context.
32:49
Speaker 9: Well, the extent that I was able to not end
32:52
Speaker 9: up in an orange jump suit. Yeah, and there's some
32:57
Speaker 9: more that's come to life recently with the revelation that
33:00
Speaker 9: the Southern Poverty Southern Organization it was just publicly pledged
33:04
Speaker 9: to fight racism and the like, was actually funding just
33:11
Speaker 9: defounder essentially the driver of those quote unquote United and
33:15
Speaker 9: r rowleies. But we knew at the time, Joe and
33:17
Speaker 9: you were one of the people who were that was
33:18
Speaker 9: on the cutting edge of this, that this quote unquote
33:21
Speaker 9: right wing leader had previously been in the I believe
33:26
Speaker 9: Staunton Augusta Democrat Committee and was a big part of
33:29
Speaker 9: the Occupy Wall Street movement, right yep, So something steamed
33:33
Speaker 9: a little bit rotten there. But you also touched on
33:36
Speaker 9: the Confederate flag imagery. There was that they were defending
33:41
Speaker 9: culture because there was a Confederate statue that was controversial
33:44
Speaker 9: in Charlottesville area.
33:45
Speaker 3: At the time.
33:47
Speaker 9: But if you recall, and this is like buried to
33:50
Speaker 9: the headlines, there was a special edition Nike shoe at
33:53
Speaker 9: the time that displayed the Betsy Ross flagged the thirteen
33:56
Speaker 9: star flag. Yes, well, guess what they had at the
34:00
Speaker 9: Virginia Beach rally recently alongside their Confederate flag of their
34:06
Speaker 9: neo Nazi imagery. Of course they had that thirteen star flag.
34:10
Speaker 9: Dating myself, I can date myself to this extent that
34:15
Speaker 9: I can tell you that that flag instead, I'm sorry.
34:18
Speaker 9: In nineteen seventy six at the bisonety Ah, I was
34:20
Speaker 9: a little child. That flight was a rallying point of unity,
34:24
Speaker 9: not for white America, but for America period, full stop.
34:27
Speaker 9: And one of the first instances of black history before
34:31
Speaker 9: my history was a big thing in the public school
34:34
Speaker 9: system was learning. I can name one person. It was
34:37
Speaker 9: killed at the Boston massacre right Christmas addicts. And the
34:41
Speaker 9: point of telling is that the shipyard worker and was
34:44
Speaker 9: railing against taxation with that representation was black. Was that
34:50
Speaker 9: we weren't even from a spoonamount of many one. But
34:54
Speaker 9: what's going on here, it would appear in what's going
34:56
Speaker 9: on there, it's an effort to undermine Erica. In our nation,
35:01
Speaker 9: it's institutions and those things that unite us and to
35:05
Speaker 9: focus on those things that divide us. So let's take
35:08
Speaker 9: the same recipe that they had in twenty seventeen in Charlottesville,
35:13
Speaker 9: and that is such community with a controversy, and the
35:17
Speaker 9: controversy of Virginia Beach, as many of your listeners have discussed,
35:21
Speaker 9: is that if they they've perfused that have been allegedly
35:24
Speaker 9: racist and targeted at minority youth. These minority youth have
35:27
Speaker 9: had a generation of education that's told them that they
35:31
Speaker 9: can't succeed well and succeed at central because America is
35:33
Speaker 9: inherently racist. So these are young people. And I remember
35:37
Speaker 9: being a young man who've got a lot of energy,
35:39
Speaker 9: a lot of anger, and you know, when I was young,
35:41
Speaker 9: an old school for a final BM w I do
35:44
Speaker 9: now and the people that they've been told are holding
35:47
Speaker 9: them down. These are white folks, you know, the far
35:50
Speaker 9: on top of that, these neo Nazi agitators. It's literally
35:55
Speaker 9: the same people, right, not all the same people, but
35:58
Speaker 9: the name of the group, which I choose not to
36:00
Speaker 9: name on the air first roared, it's showing up on
36:03
Speaker 9: Virginia Beach. Now, we're showed up at Charlesville in twenty seventeen.
36:06
Speaker 9: You can't script this stuff. So now you have all
36:09
Speaker 9: the elements of the Color Revolution. But here's where it
36:11
Speaker 9: gets far worse. America to fifty, the tour and fiftieth
36:16
Speaker 9: anniversary of our Declaration of Independence has among its epicenters
36:22
Speaker 9: the Hampton Roads area in Virginia, and July fourth, just
36:26
Speaker 9: as you saw tall ships pull it in New York
36:28
Speaker 9: Harbor in nineteen seventy six, you will see those tall
36:32
Speaker 9: ships moving right past the ocean front of Virginia Beach
36:35
Speaker 9: into the Port of Norfolk.
36:38
Speaker 3: They have to do.
36:38
Speaker 9: The eyes of the world will very intentionally be focused
36:42
Speaker 9: visa be the Administration Iran. They kind of like they're
36:44
Speaker 9: using the administration's publicity activities to celebrate America's to earn
36:48
Speaker 9: fiftieth birthday to bring light upon just how horrible this
36:54
Speaker 9: would be. There argument in that mine our nation is
36:56
Speaker 9: and how they used to be fundamental transferation. So you know,
36:59
Speaker 9: you got curfew is that have been some of them's
37:02
Speaker 9: targeted at African American youths in the community that's got
37:05
Speaker 9: a history of summertime violence. You've got agitators who have
37:10
Speaker 9: whose actions have led to the death of at least
37:12
Speaker 9: one person and arguably three as you know to the
37:14
Speaker 9: two troopers who were killed in the helicopter accident. And
37:18
Speaker 9: you've got the eyes of the world focused on a
37:20
Speaker 9: region that's had several times violence that passed over various circumstances.
37:26
Speaker 9: Now it's still on top of that the number twenty
37:30
Speaker 9: one different I believe Second Amendment violations, I would argue
37:35
Speaker 9: voiced the fun Virginia all at once, many of which
37:37
Speaker 9: I believe sincerely. The people who carry the bills and
37:41
Speaker 9: past the bills know will fail that they know they fly.
37:44
Speaker 9: There's a commune, correct, It's it's it's looked how much
37:49
Speaker 9: weak are right. It's like it's like being.
37:51
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, Tom, hang on to that thought.
37:52
Speaker 3: So you've set up the scene let's deliver the body
37:56
Speaker 3: blow in a moment. Here, first thing today. If you're
37:59
Speaker 3: in the Hampton Dads area, give.
38:00
Speaker 16: Us a According to a new report from Discovery Education,
38:04
Speaker 16: ninety two percent of students say that engaging lessons make
38:07
Speaker 16: school more fun, and more than ninety percent of educators
38:10
Speaker 16: said engagement is critical for student achievement. Student engagement is
38:14
Speaker 16: essential for learning, but gaps remain about how to achieve,
38:17
Speaker 16: measure and sustain student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty
38:21
Speaker 16: three percent of students agreed that students are highly engaged
38:25
Speaker 16: in school, only forty five percent of teachers and fifty
38:28
Speaker 16: one percent of principles surveyed agreed with the same statement.
38:32
Speaker 16: Educators disagreed on the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two
38:36
Speaker 16: percent of teachers said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest
38:39
Speaker 16: indicator of student engagement, while fifty four percent of superintendents
38:43
Speaker 16: rate performing well on assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also,
38:48
Speaker 16: two thirds of students said they believed that AI could
38:50
Speaker 16: help them learn faster, yet fewer than half of teachers
38:53
Speaker 16: report using AI themselves to complete tasks. Visit Discovery education

Speaker 10: You were strolling along in Goodwill when just past that
40:05

Speaker 15: Exercise is hard, so was made. Hating a healthy diet,
41:02
Speaker 15: Of course, neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly,
41:07
Speaker 15: type two diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a
41:10
Speaker 15: million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths
41:14
Speaker 15: are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
41:18
Speaker 15: healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about
41:23
Speaker 15: your risk for type two diabetes and heart disease, and
41:26
Speaker 15: if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The
41:31
Speaker 15: reason so many die is because not enough are willing
41:34
Speaker 15: to change. You can stop it, starting right now. It's
41:38

Speaker 2: Very this is why it's insane, but also kind of
44:14
Speaker 2: funny in a weird way.
44:15
Speaker 7: Whenever people are like, oh, I bet you're getting paid
44:17
Speaker 7: by the Cuban government.
44:18
Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk Media Network.
44:22
Speaker 7: Bro they don't have money, Like, what money do they
44:26
Speaker 7: have to give me money?
44:27
Speaker 12: You know what?
44:27
Speaker 2: I mean.
44:33
Speaker 3: It's called China. Hassan as who's behind the door China.
44:45
Speaker 3: You know when they say Cuba is paying you, they
44:47
Speaker 3: mean passing through. It was just a funny clip, and
44:49
Speaker 3: how many people had Hassan Piker in the polymarket betting
44:55
Speaker 3: pool as to who would show up with clips On
44:57
Speaker 3: this morning's First Thing Today program, Huh made yourself some scratch?
45:02
Speaker 3: I bet you. We're on with former member of the
45:05
Speaker 3: US House of Representatives now Virginia delegate, sharing my concerns
45:10
Speaker 3: of imagery that is reminiscent of twenty seventeen now getting
45:15
Speaker 3: swirling around our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary as some
45:20
Speaker 3: of the same groups are starting to bubble. I guess
45:22
Speaker 3: they're all back from the Ukraine where they went to
45:25
Speaker 3: hang out with the azof Battalion right after burning up
45:30
Speaker 3: my city and turning it into a dumpster fire. Tom
45:34
Speaker 3: Garrett host of the Tom Drops Bombs video podcast on
45:39
Speaker 3: YouTube and subscribe there. I understand there's a new one
45:44
Speaker 3: where controversy swirls around his shotgun esthetic or activities, but
45:52
Speaker 3: that may you'll have to go and tune in for that.
45:55
Speaker 3: But Tom, I want to get back to the point
45:56
Speaker 3: of the order, as Hassan Piker was trying to say, Well, dude,
46:00
Speaker 3: I was Cuba paying for me with what money? With
46:02
Speaker 3: China's money? As you discovered, as Intel was told to you,
46:07
Speaker 3: the Russians were feeding the fire of twenty seventeen on
46:13
Speaker 3: both sides to make people mad from the Black Lives
46:17
Speaker 3: Matter side and to incite the unite the right people
46:22
Speaker 3: you brought up, as have I now the expose of
46:27
Speaker 3: the Southern Poverty Law Center paying the transportation director for
46:33
Speaker 3: the twenty seventeen riots in Charlottesville, and then their connection
46:38
Speaker 3: to federal law enforcement at the Biden administration. So where
46:47
Speaker 3: is this going? What dark places that we've learned about
46:51
Speaker 3: in the past six months to a year are further
46:55
Speaker 3: behind these curtains.
46:58
Speaker 9: Well, and I don't like to be a shaking little die.
47:02
Speaker 9: I don't think I've ever done anything like this on
47:04
Speaker 9: air with you, but I would submit that our enemies,
47:09
Speaker 9: geopolitically and globally are alto aware of the fact that
47:16
Speaker 9: in the conventional conflict, the United States is unrivaled. Right,
47:20
Speaker 9: we are without parallel, And so you know, I think
47:25
Speaker 9: Sun sou famously said, when the barbarians are killing each other,
47:29
Speaker 9: let them the goal. Then if they cannot defeat us
47:31
Speaker 9: in the conventional military scenario, we to defeat us unconventionally. Now,
47:36
Speaker 9: the most conventional form of unconventional warfare is when you
47:40
Speaker 9: can turn your enemy against itself, when you can create
47:42
Speaker 9: a color revolution, when you can control the way people
47:46
Speaker 9: think and act without the people knowing that you're controlling them,
47:49
Speaker 9: and then that can get an outcome, and that the
47:52
Speaker 9: outcome may be, I don't know, you know, regime change.
47:55
Speaker 3: Right.
47:55
Speaker 9: So you've got all the elements here. You've got a
47:57
Speaker 9: group of young people who are energetic, a lot of testosterone,
48:01
Speaker 9: and that you know, when I was eighteen, I was,
48:03
Speaker 9: like I said, a little bit more lacking and good judgment.
48:08
Speaker 9: And this group of young people will actually have been
48:10
Speaker 9: told that they're systemically oppressed. They've been told this by
48:13
Speaker 9: the education system repeatedly. You've got the two and fiftieth
48:17
Speaker 9: anniversary of our nation in which they tell us is
48:19
Speaker 9: about it. I think that's a jasmine. Crockett recently said
48:23
Speaker 9: everything that America's ever built was built in the blood,
48:25
Speaker 9: sweat and backs of black people. Right now, you've got
48:28
Speaker 9: a government that's cracked down on these young people. The
48:31
Speaker 9: vast majority of whom aren't, like you know, out doing
48:33
Speaker 9: terrible things, and so they feel unduly oppressed. Now you've
48:37
Speaker 9: got a catalysts that were as uniforms and literally is
48:41
Speaker 9: the same group of people from Charlos Hill twenty seventeen.
48:44
Speaker 9: You get the eyes of the nation on a visa people.
48:47
Speaker 3: Well, let's go into that a second, Timmy, I.
48:49
Speaker 9: Know, you tell me what happens next.
48:51
Speaker 3: Well, you know, and here you know.
48:53
Speaker 9: On July fourth, twenty twenty six in Hampton Roads. I'm
48:57
Speaker 9: I'm fearful that if these folks who are driving this
49:00
Speaker 9: because he's on free Thinkers, these are lendings on both
49:02
Speaker 9: sides of the got easily idiots on either the spectrum here,
49:08
Speaker 9: and so you know, the result obviously being to change
49:13
Speaker 9: fundamentally transform not my words, there's America.
49:17
Speaker 3: Yeah right, well get and by our hand I mean
49:19
Speaker 3: that's the thing is they they will convince us to
49:22
Speaker 3: vote in favor of changing it because of the systemic
49:26
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. And I see this group, you know,
49:29
Speaker 3: this neo Nazi group out there, and I've been trying
49:32
Speaker 3: to find some details on their marches in Norfolk and
49:36
Speaker 3: Virginia Beach mainly and it seems to be because there
49:39
Speaker 3: are people protesting the curfews that they say are targeting
49:45
Speaker 3: the black community. So here come the twenty seventeen era
49:51
Speaker 3: Nazis back there to again say, you know, our blood,
49:55
Speaker 3: our soil. Is that what they're you know, are they
49:58
Speaker 3: using this as the premise they you know, they're setting
50:00
Speaker 3: up both groups and then on July fourth will look
50:04
Speaker 3: so bad or before?
50:05
Speaker 9: Premise is that? I think the premise is that they're
50:07
Speaker 9: there because now this is so disgusting. I don't even
50:10
Speaker 9: like contemplating it. That they're there because they're showing whose
50:13
Speaker 9: two or fifty great they this really is, and that
50:15
Speaker 9: they have the power to control these unruly mobs, et cetera.
50:19
Speaker 9: I don't know, right they don't. I have no idea
50:22
Speaker 9: what these clowns are thinking, and frankly, I don't think
50:24
Speaker 9: they're thinking. I think, sadly, based on what I've learned
50:27
Speaker 9: about some of the people who participated in twenty seventeen,
50:30
Speaker 9: this is a group of people who have no sense
50:32
Speaker 9: of belonging whatsoever, who want to be a part of something,
50:35
Speaker 9: and then they're led by a smaller cabal who have
50:38
Speaker 9: no core values but instead want to be perceived themselves
50:42
Speaker 9: and be perceived as powerful and relevant, right, I mean,
50:44
Speaker 9: these are just pathetic clowns on the fringes of society.
50:49
Speaker 3: Well, and that's a big point because I've said this before.
50:52
Speaker 3: I mean, we're talking about five percent of our population,
50:55
Speaker 3: maybe ten with the two groups added together. This isn't
51:00
Speaker 3: fifty joe, right.
51:03
Speaker 9: I mean, there's eight point seven million people in Virginia alone,
51:07
Speaker 9: and they can cobble together like eighteen pencil night d
51:11
Speaker 9: work suit, wear a fake pardon me, fake ass uniform
51:16
Speaker 9: around and throw up horrendously offensive Nazi type gestures like
51:22
Speaker 9: I mean, I don't know. Plus what we do know? Again,
51:26
Speaker 9: I wish this were hyperbolic, you know, but we do
51:29
Speaker 9: know that SBOC was paying these people right through intermediaries.
51:33
Speaker 9: We know it, right, And so yeah, well and again,
51:38
Speaker 9: when you see eighteen people standing in a pseudo military
51:41
Speaker 9: formation in one spot, eighteen looks like a lot of people.
51:45
Speaker 3: Well yeah, it does. But I think the sense is
51:48
Speaker 3: that this is the first step. This is my fear
51:51
Speaker 3: is that this is the first step towards something that
51:54
Speaker 3: is either going to ruin our Independence Day celebration or
51:59
Speaker 3: use our Independence Day celebration as you said as a
52:02
Speaker 3: folk room to make us change who we've been for
52:05
Speaker 3: these two hundred and fifty years, because we have failed
52:08
Speaker 3: in some places and succeeded in others. Tom, I appreciate
52:12
Speaker 3: here inside.
52:13
Speaker 9: Problem right, freedom to succeed implicitly includes freedom to fail.
52:17
Speaker 9: And they just can't stand that. And then they missed
52:19
Speaker 9: the tenth commandment. Deuts out not kind of it. So
52:22
Speaker 9: they want to destroy the systems. They can replace it,
52:24
Speaker 9: but they haven't acknowledged that no one's ever replaced the
52:27
Speaker 9: system with anything better.
52:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so well said. And for our friends who
52:31
Speaker 3: are you know? I just got a text message saying, dude,
52:33
Speaker 3: it's Memorial Day. You got like one person listening right
