- 0:16Speaker 4: Leaves for work when the sun comes up, drops the
- 0:18Speaker 4: kids to school and on the way. Joe has everything
- 0:22Speaker 4: he dreamed of, all the treasures that he needs.
- 0:25Speaker 5: No wonder Joe's always smiling, he only aims to please you.
- 0:34Speaker 6: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
- 0:36Speaker 6: this morning. Don't be fooled. They're not preparing a new
- 0:45Speaker 6: Broadway revival of Les Miserables in Paris. But I love
- 0:53Speaker 6: my media brethren and sistren who try to make this
- 0:56Speaker 6: out to be just the French Revolution all over again,
- 1:01Speaker 6: the downtrodden, telling the narrative that's fraudulent because it's why
- 1:07Speaker 6: the original French Revolution lasted for 25 years and was
- 1:14Speaker 6: technically three separate French Revolutions all winding up with a
- 1:19Speaker 6: military junta taking over and marching a bunch of the 18-year-olds.
- 1:24Speaker 6: We'll give these kids something to do. We're going to
- 1:27Speaker 6: march to Moscow. That's not what's happening in Paris. Although
- 1:35Speaker 6: my brothers and sisters want to paint that picture. What's
- 1:44Speaker 6: happening in Paris is what is going to be happening
- 1:49Speaker 6: all around the world. Some 10, 15 years ago, Stories, oh,
- 1:59Speaker 6: wild conspiracy theories. Nationalists, racists, every ist you could possibly,
- 2:11Speaker 6: there was gorillas.
- 2:12Speaker 3: In the mist.
- 2:14Speaker 6: There were so many ists being thrown around about the
- 2:17Speaker 6: accusations of some strange caliphate that nobody knew anything about,
- 2:22Speaker 6: despite it being written in.
- 2:24Speaker 3: Documents all over the place. And sure, it.
- 2:37Speaker 6: Took a long time to flashpoint in a Western civilization.
- 2:45Speaker 6: But it did, and it has, and you're watching, it's 18,
- 2:50Speaker 6: we've got it coming up in the first things. But
- 2:54Speaker 6: I am sure, as Joe Thomas is my name, that
- 2:59Speaker 6: you're being hit with the narrative that, oh, this is
- 3:03Speaker 6: just the French Revolution again. These crazy, wacky French, they're
- 3:09Speaker 6: always protesting and rioting about something. No, don't let them
- 3:14Speaker 6: fool you on that. 1,800 people under arrest. Luckily for them,
- 3:21Speaker 6: this isn't Iran, where people like them would be hung
- 3:24Speaker 6: in the streets. That would be a very busy traffic
- 3:28Speaker 6: morning on the French roundabout. rioting through the area, through Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Bordeaux,
- 3:40Speaker 6: and other cities, torching buildings, smashing storefronts, reminding many people
- 3:48Speaker 6: of America come circa 2020. They battled police. More than
- 3:55Speaker 6: half a million people estimated to have protested nationwide. More
- 4:02Speaker 6: than 500 police officers and firefighters were injured, according to
- 4:07Speaker 6: the Macron government. Reports from the French government, this is
- 4:18Speaker 6: over living conditions and cost of living, when many on
- 4:24Speaker 6: the streets say this carried a far more Middle Eastern
- 4:30Speaker 6: feel to it. more of a French spring. President Trump
- 4:36Speaker 6: endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for re-election, calling him
- 4:42Speaker 6: a great warrior prime minister, writing, Bibi Netanyahu will never
- 4:48Speaker 6: let you down in a social media post addressed to
- 4:51Speaker 6: the great people of Israel. Meanwhile, here at home, the
- 4:57Speaker 6: fiscal year 2026 wrapped up with a one $ 1. 99 trillion
- 5:04Speaker 6: budget deficit. That's a 12% increase from the previous year.
- 5:10Speaker 6: As spending continued to outpace collections of taxes, soaring interest
- 5:17Speaker 6: payments on the national debt consumed a considerable portion. Federal
- 5:26Speaker 6: deficit widened from $ 1. 78 trillion to the $ 1. 99 trillion in 2026.
- 5:36Speaker 6: And Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed a summit with
- 5:40Speaker 6: President Trump and Chinese President Xi to negotiate.
- 5:45Speaker 3: An end of the four-year war with Ukraine.
- 5:47Speaker 6: Noticeably absent from the invitation was Volodymyr Zelensky, the president.
- 5:55Speaker 7: Of Ukraine.
- 5:58Speaker 6: Another weekend full of events, and we were everywhere. We
- 6:02Speaker 6: hosted a March Walk to End Alzheimer's on Saturday. It
- 6:06Speaker 6: was the keynote speaker at a Turning Point USA event
- 6:11Speaker 6: as well. And running around like that, you know, your
- 6:16Speaker 6: brain says, go ahead and do these things. And then
- 6:19Speaker 6: you wake up the next morning thinking, did I really
- 6:22Speaker 6: stand for that long? So our friends at Mesa Verde
- 6:27Speaker 6: Hemp have been very useful to me this weekend. Knees,
- 6:32Speaker 6: lower back, you know, just a topical application. And it really,
- 6:37Speaker 6: it's not something you can. Nobody's stopping you from doing
- 6:41Speaker 6: it every day. But it's a pain relief topically. And
- 6:47Speaker 6: it really does wonders when you overdo it or even
- 6:51Speaker 6: forget that you're overdoing it and think, well, I've done
- 6:54Speaker 6: this before. I can handle a weekend like this. We've
- 6:58Speaker 6: all said that, haven't we? MesaVerdeHemp.com.
- 7:01Speaker 8: You know, a lot of times you have to choose
- 7:03Speaker 8: between something high quality or something that saves you money.
- 7:07Speaker 3: But what if you could get both?
- 7:08Speaker 1: Why not?
- 7:09Speaker 8: Especially when it comes to health care, and that is MediShare.
- 7:12Speaker 9: You get both.
- 7:14Speaker 8: Many families save $ 500 a month with MediShare, and that's huge,
- 7:18Speaker 8: but It's also true that people wind up way more
- 7:20Speaker 8: satisfied too. We know this from research of members. There's
- 7:23Speaker 8: a lot they like about MediShare, but especially they love
- 7:27Speaker 8: being part of something they believe in. And MediShare works too.
- 7:31Speaker 8: It has for more than 30 years. There are hundreds
- 7:34Speaker 8: of thousands of members who love having telehealth if they
- 7:37Speaker 8: need it. They love the huge PPO network. You can
- 7:40Speaker 8: save a ton and like it better. Imagine being happy
- 7:43Speaker 8: with how you're taking care of your health care. So
- 7:45Speaker 8: if you're self-employed or you're part of the gig economy

- 8:03Speaker 10: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:12Speaker 10: I'm Dr.
- 8:13Speaker 11: Mitch.
- 8:14Speaker 10: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
- 8:20Speaker 10: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
- 8:24Speaker 10: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
- 8:28Speaker 10: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
- 8:32Speaker 10: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
- 8:39Speaker 10: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
- 8:43Speaker 10: least slow the spread of cancer and in many instances
- 8:47Speaker 10: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
- 8:52Speaker 10: from radiation. TotalWellness.com where we help you to look good,
- 8:57Speaker 10: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
- 9:02Speaker 12: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
- 9:05Speaker 12: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
- 9:10Speaker 12: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
- 9:13Speaker 12: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
- 9:16Speaker 12: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
- 9:21Speaker 12: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
- 9:25Speaker 12: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
- 9:29Speaker 12: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
- 9:33Speaker 12: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
- 9:37Speaker 12: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
- 9:42Speaker 12: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
- 9:46Speaker 12: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov
- 9:53Speaker 12: Share this information with your friends and family.
- 9:58Speaker 13: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy
- 10:01Speaker 13: growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
- 10:03Speaker 13: with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
- 10:05Speaker 13: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
- 10:08Speaker 3: Just look at the.
- 10:08Speaker 13: Birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 13: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
- 10:15Speaker 13: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
- 10:17Speaker 13: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
- 10:21Speaker 13: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
- 10:23Speaker 13: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
- 10:26Speaker 13: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
- 10:30Speaker 13: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
- 10:33Speaker 13: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
- 10:36Speaker 13: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
- 10:39Speaker 13: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
- 10:42Speaker 13: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
- 10:44Speaker 13: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
- 10:47Speaker 13: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
- 10:50Speaker 13: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
- 10:53Speaker 13: planet we inhabit together. Go to americanhumane.org to learn more.
- 10:59Speaker 14: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
- 11:01Speaker 8: Oh, yeah?
- 11:01Speaker 2: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:04Speaker 15: And now a speech.
- 11:06Speaker 16: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 11:10Speaker 3: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 13: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
- 11:15Speaker 14: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
- 11:18Speaker 14: somebody call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Love that guy.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Me too.
- 11:21Speaker 4: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 11:23Speaker 4: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 11:28Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 11:31Speaker 17: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 11:35Speaker 17: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 11:39Speaker 17: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 11:42Speaker 17: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 11:46Speaker 17: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 11:51Speaker 17: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 11:54Speaker 17: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 11:58Speaker 17: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 12:00Speaker 17: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 12:04Speaker 17: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 12:07Speaker 17: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 12:11Speaker 17: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 12:14Speaker 17: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
- 12:18Speaker 17: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.

- 12:27Speaker 17: protection agency.
- 12:29Speaker 18: As a family member or friend, you may be the
- 12:32Speaker 18: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
- 12:35Speaker 18: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
- 12:40Speaker 18: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
- 12:43Speaker 4: But help is available.

- 13:14Speaker 1: didn't cost anything in the first place, so let's say
- 13:17Speaker 1: $ 1 million. And call it even. First Thing Today by
- 13:23Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 13:25Speaker 19: Join in the fight that will give you the right
- 13:28Speaker 19: to be free.
- 13:30Speaker 5: Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of
- 13:35Speaker 5: angry men. This is the music all the people do.
- 13:43Speaker 6: And by slaves, they mean required to pay, like, their bills.
- 13:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:55Speaker 6: Has anyone ever translated that into Farsi? And now the
- 14:02Speaker 6: touring road company of Les Miserables, appearing now in Tehran.
- 14:11Speaker 6: at the Ayatollah Theater, three shows a night. In the
- 14:20Speaker 6: name of Allah, we can kill them all, chanted one
- 14:29Speaker 6: group of rioters, protesters, you would call them. It's an
- 14:38Speaker 6: interesting juxtaposition as Saturday, American leftists held anemic, and I'm
- 14:50Speaker 6: not just saying that because I disagree with them, anemic
- 14:56Speaker 6: No Kings rallies. Why, this one from the NBC station
- 15:01Speaker 6: in the capital of the No Kings land, where Indivisible
- 15:05Speaker 6: was born, Yeah, we hold.
- 15:08Speaker 3: That ignominy as well.
- 15:14Speaker 6: One of the very organizing groups behind the No Kings
- 15:18Speaker 6: event skipped the No Kings event.
- 15:21Speaker 3: Indivisible.
- 15:22Speaker 6: Indivisible is a nationwide organization of agitators along with the
- 15:31Speaker 6: League of Women Voters. Oh, we're a non-Protestant organization except
- 15:36Speaker 6: for the No Kings rallies. They decided that they didn't
- 15:52Speaker 6: want to be part of the No Kings rallies. They said, oh,
- 15:55Speaker 6: we're doing voter turnout events.
- 15:58Speaker 3: That's kind of.
- 15:59Speaker 6: What the whole Indivisible rally on Saturday was supposed to
- 16:04Speaker 6: be about, or the No Kings rally, was to start
- 16:08Speaker 6: getting people ready because most states still have the vestiges
- 16:13Speaker 6: of long COVID and will begin voting. Virginia, half of
- 16:18Speaker 6: us have already voted already, and you guys are just
- 16:20Speaker 6: getting started?
- 16:21Speaker 9: Huh?
- 16:23Speaker 5: Nuts.
- 16:25Speaker 6: But October 24th is, in many states, the moment that
- 16:30Speaker 6: voting commences. And while we break down these news stories
- 16:34Speaker 6: of the day, they're impacting you differently wherever you are.
- 16:38Speaker 6: And the phone line, always for you to share how
- 16:42Speaker 6: the news is impacting you at 434- 882-4217. And the
- 16:49Speaker 6: story of France is eye-catching and horrific and dispiriting, but
- 16:54Speaker 6: how does it impact you? Well, through groups like Indivisible
- 17:00Speaker 6: and these No Kings protests, want to bring about an
- 17:06Speaker 6: American-style government that will drop all of the pretense and
- 17:13Speaker 6: and by pretense, I mean the Bill of Rights, and
- 17:19Speaker 6: institute a government like France has. And I think it's
- 17:24Speaker 6: important to note that the majority of coverage of what's
- 17:30Speaker 6: going on in France is driven by what they call
- 17:34Speaker 6: income inequity. These are just crazy school kids burning schools
- 17:40Speaker 6: down and churches and police stations and immolating public servants
- 17:49Speaker 6: who probably have more in common with them than anything else.
- 17:56Speaker 6: So Indivisible and the League of Women Voters and the
- 17:59Speaker 6: Democratic Party that hold these No Kings rallies want a
- 18:05Speaker 6: French-style government where you are freed from your slavery of
- 18:11Speaker 6: having to pay bills. You're freed from responsibilities. New York Post,
- 18:25Speaker 6: we are witnessing something extraordinary, an intifada in the heart
- 18:30Speaker 6: of Europe. Funny cartoon was sent to me. I think
- 18:36Speaker 6: it was in the Bull Elephant. On their Sunday aggregate
- 18:42Speaker 6: of political cartoons, it's a cartoon of Benjamin Netanyahu standing
- 18:47Speaker 6: next to Emmanuel Macron. And Macron is grimacing as Netanyahu says,
- 18:53Speaker 6: we're here to help negotiate the two-state solution for France.
- 19:01Speaker 6: Everyone wants Israel to buckle under to a two-state solution.
- 19:05Speaker 6: You're going to propose the same thing. What's the Arab
- 19:12Speaker 6: word for vichy? These began, the beginnings of these French
- 19:30Speaker 6: fried protests began as college students were started speaking with
- 19:44Speaker 6: one another before France became interested in thinking free speech
- 19:52Speaker 6: to protest that they won't have jobs when they come out.
- 20:00Speaker 6: The French government panicking over this becoming a race riot
- 20:06Speaker 6: as some of the voices in the collegiate campuses were
- 20:10Speaker 6: blaming France the mass migration into France of those who
- 20:15Speaker 6: were willing to do jobs that, quote, Frenchmen don't want
- 20:19Speaker 6: to do, calling themselves a disenchanted generation. But they lost
- 20:28Speaker 6: control of that pretty quickly. Ironically, one of the most
- 20:40Speaker 6: eye-catching pieces of the terrorism in France yesterday was the
- 20:45Speaker 6: torching of the Nelson Mandela School in Western France.
- 20:54Speaker 20: $ 3. 4 million worth of damage. 78 teachers beaten or burned
- 21:06Speaker 20: trying to get better education out of them.
- 21:08Speaker 3: We'll get you. But you've burned down.
- 21:12Speaker 6: The school names. See, this is why you don't name
- 21:14Speaker 6: schools after people. I mean, it's not like it was
- 21:17Speaker 6: Robert E. Lee High School in Shenandoah County, Virginia. Heaven's sakes.
- 21:27Speaker 6: Who's this Mandela guy? What does he know about freedom, huh?
- 21:35Speaker 6: But these students lost control quickly as the Islamists encouraged
- 21:41Speaker 6: by the French government's concern that they were going to
- 21:44Speaker 6: be the target of these protests, stole them and turned
- 21:49Speaker 6: them into a French spring demands to give in or
- 21:59Speaker 6: we'll keep burning stuff down.

- 23:02Speaker 16: Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Artificial
- 23:07Speaker 16: intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver better
- 23:12Speaker 16: care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that speed up diagnoses
- 23:17Speaker 16: to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports veterinary teams
- 23:21Speaker 16: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,
- 23:27Speaker 16: predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease, and even streamline
- 23:32Speaker 16: record keeping so veterinarians can focus more on patients. As
- 23:37Speaker 16: with any new technology, always keep a human in the
- 23:41Speaker 16: loop to maintain the best pet health care. AI is
- 23:45Speaker 16: a powerful tool, but not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion,
- 23:51Speaker 16: and judgment, which remains at the center of our profession.

- 25:56Speaker 21: Oh, yeah?
- 25:57Speaker 2: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 25:59Speaker 15: And now a speech.
- 26:02Speaker 16: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
- 26:05Speaker 7: Heart and brain.
- 26:07Speaker 3: Who's with me?
- 26:08Speaker 14: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed. And my
- 26:10Speaker 14: brain is saying, when it's time to go home, somebody
- 26:13Speaker 14: call me a ride.
- 26:15Speaker 2: Love that guy.
- 26:15Speaker 5: Me too.
- 26:16Speaker 4: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
- 26:19Speaker 4: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
- 26:23Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 26:25Speaker 17: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
- 26:29Speaker 17: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
- 26:34Speaker 17: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 26:36Speaker 17: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 26:40Speaker 17: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
- 26:46Speaker 17: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
- 26:49Speaker 17: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
- 26:53Speaker 17: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
- 26:55Speaker 17: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
- 26:58Speaker 17: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
- 27:02Speaker 17: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
- 27:05Speaker 17: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
- 27:09Speaker 17: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

- 28:13Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network. Oh,
- 28:19Speaker 1: information laundering is really quite ferocious.
- 28:22Speaker 14: It's when a huckster takes some lies and makes them
- 28:24Speaker 14: sound precocious by saying.
- 28:26Speaker 1: Them in Congress or a mainstream outlet.
- 28:28Speaker 19: So disinformation's origins are slightly less atrocious.
- 28:33Speaker 1: It's how you hide a little lie.
- 28:35Speaker 6: You know, it's really easy, too, when you have the
- 28:38Speaker 6: press secretariat of the increasingly irrelevant national news media. on
- 28:49Speaker 6: your side. Oh, these wacky students. We go live to
- 28:58Speaker 6: our analyst in Britain, who's safe there for now, to
- 29:04Speaker 6: tell us how these student protests became so violent. Well,
- 29:09Speaker 6: you have to understand, Bob, it's really, poverty is really
- 29:12Speaker 6: a big issue. It's none of, none of what's going
- 29:18Speaker 6: on in France. For years, years, I tell you, I say,
- 29:26Speaker 6: I say, look at me when I'm talking to you, boy.
- 29:28Speaker 3: I was about as sharp as a bowling ball.
- 29:35Speaker 6: For years, we've been saying that radical Islam is condescending.
- 29:42Speaker 6: in different clothes. Nazism arrived in the Middle East with
- 29:55Speaker 6: an attempt to kill what Jews they could find there.
- 30:00Speaker 6: unabashedly taking pictures with Islamist leaders saying, well, you don't
- 30:07Speaker 6: like the West and we don't like the West, especially
- 30:09Speaker 6: the Jewish ones.
- 30:10Speaker 3: So, you know, let's be partners. And we beat Hitler.
- 30:16Speaker 6: We didn't stop to think, what are we going to
- 30:19Speaker 6: do with these people in around the Mediterranean? We thought
- 30:24Speaker 6: it was Rommel that was going to be the problem.
- 30:30Speaker 3: Turns out there were more desert rats than we knew.
- 30:38Speaker 6: And I will be careful because, again, there are those
- 30:43Speaker 6: who argue my short-sightedness, my inability to be honest with you,
- 30:50Speaker 6: or my capitulation to the idea, because there are many
- 30:53Speaker 6: who hold the idea, that.
- 30:57Speaker 3: Muslims in the United.
- 30:59Speaker 6: States are just sleepers waiting to be activated like what
- 31:04Speaker 6: happened in Paris, and that's dangerous. Unless somebody steps up
- 31:12Speaker 6: and says, no, that's not us, and joins the movement
- 31:16Speaker 6: to prove they're not, it's becoming harder and harder to
- 31:20Speaker 6: bail against that tide. Zudi Jasser, we've reached out to
- 31:27Speaker 6: him to see if he'll join us this week. President
- 31:36Speaker 6: and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy has.
- 31:39Speaker 3: Been outspoken.
- 31:42Speaker 6: About the fact that the Muslim community, without a papacy,
- 31:47Speaker 6: without a central church, as a matter of fact, secularly,
- 31:52Speaker 6: at least three different ideological churches within what we would
- 31:58Speaker 6: consider Islam. But the American Islamic community needs to stand
- 32:06Speaker 6: up and say, that's not us, because it's becoming very
- 32:10Speaker 6: hard to hold the storm drain from overflowing. This is
- 32:30Speaker 6: a group, La France Unbowed, La France Insoumise. I'm doing
- 32:39Speaker 6: a bad job. I never took French, which means I'm
- 32:42Speaker 6: about as well qualified to speak French as I am
- 32:46Speaker 6: to speak Spanish, and I took that for three years
- 32:48Speaker 6: in high school. But this group, France Unbowed, is the
- 32:57Speaker 6: Democratic Socialist Party of the United States, come France. As
- 33:04Speaker 6: Islamists bear their socialist agendas, Ballybagayako is France's version of
- 33:14Speaker 6: Zorhan Mamdani, a city within the Parisian Saint-Denis or Saint-Denis
- 33:29Speaker 6: he is the mayor of it and said when being
- 33:34Speaker 6: questioned about the burning and the killing and the beatings
- 33:37Speaker 6: and the arrestings violence can sometimes be legitimate.
- 33:46Speaker 3: More of the.
- 33:47Speaker 6: LFI that's their acronym Le France Insoumise another LFI protester
- 33:59Speaker 6: was telling the crowd to set the Elie's Palace on
- 34:04Speaker 6: fire to burn the office of the president. Elie say,
- 34:12Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I see it out of context with the
- 34:24Speaker 6: The communists have, again, as they did, if you want
- 34:30Speaker 6: to draw a parallel to the first French Revolution, there
- 34:36Speaker 6: were shadowy figures in the background who wanted to become
- 34:40Speaker 6: the authoritarian king of France. Ironically, happening on a weekend
- 34:46Speaker 6: where America is saying we don't want kings, in France
- 34:49Speaker 6: they want maybe a, maybe an Ayatollah. Interestingly, France was
- 34:56Speaker 6: where the Ayatollah had to hide out after the Shah
- 35:02Speaker 6: exiled him in the 50s before returning to Iran in 76.
- 35:10Speaker 6: I don't know where he'd hide now. Where can we
- 35:15Speaker 6: go into exile? They don't want us to. They want
- 35:18Speaker 6: us to go into exile in the ground. Disgruntled, often
- 35:29Speaker 6: foreign descended. That's a funny phrase to hear from the
- 35:32Speaker 6: news media. Young people are used as a grunt army
- 35:37Speaker 6: against Western values, writes one report in the New York Post. Well,
- 35:42Speaker 6: that's what was being done in France. 230 years ago.
- 35:51Speaker 6: Because Robespierre had convinced them that if he became king,
- 35:56Speaker 6: they'd be free. And all that really happened was that
- 36:00Speaker 6: when he became king, he became king. And the problem
- 36:05Speaker 6: was the French discovered, hey, we can do this again.
- 36:08Speaker 6: And they went back and found where they put the
- 36:10Speaker 6: pitchforks and torches and did it again. And then again
- 36:16Speaker 6: after that. And somewhat to a manner of almost expected humor,
- 36:23Speaker 6: French unions protest all the time, hold traffic stoppages, block highways.
- 36:30Speaker 6: Any of this sound familiar here in the United States?
- 36:33Speaker 6: The yellow vest crowd. But when you're burning the Nelson
- 36:41Speaker 6: Mandela school, you're not being ideological. And of course, this
- 36:47Speaker 6: is mob rule. Anyway, mob rule is what happens when this,
- 36:52Speaker 6: but these protests months ago started to talk about getting organized.
- 36:57Speaker 6: And that's when the Islamists, this is when the Intifada
- 37:02Speaker 6: moved in and said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're all
- 37:06Speaker 6: for bringing down the French government. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Macron
- 37:09Speaker 6: is a puppet of Trump's, as I saw one sign.
- 37:19Speaker 6: And this coalition of the damned is coming soon to
- 37:22Speaker 6: a theater near you and a city hall and a,
- 37:26Speaker 6: public library and coffee shops. And yes, there is kindling
- 37:36Speaker 6: at the bottom of the forest that allows this conflagration
- 37:40Speaker 6: to catch root. And unfortunately, conservatives in America have done
- 37:47Speaker 6: such a piss-poor job of dealing with the economy that
- 37:51Speaker 6: they're the ones who are handing the can of gasoline.
- 37:54Speaker 14: To According to a new report from Discovery Education, 92%
- 38:05Speaker 14: of students say that engaging lessons makes school more fun,
- 38:08Speaker 14: and more than 90% of educators said engagement is critical
- 38:11Speaker 14: for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning, but
- 38:15Speaker 14: gaps remain about how to achieve, measure, and sustain students'
- 38:19Speaker 14: interest in the classroom. Although 63% of students agreed that
- 38:23Speaker 14: students are highly engaged in school, only 45% of teachers
- 38:27Speaker 14: and 51% of principals surveyed agreed with the same statement.
- 38:31Speaker 14: Educators disagreed on the top indicators of engagement. 72% of
- 38:36Speaker 14: teachers said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of
- 38:40Speaker 14: student engagement, while 54% of superintendents rate performing well on
- 38:44Speaker 14: assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two-thirds of students
- 38:49Speaker 14: said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
- 38:52Speaker 14: yet fewer than half of teachers report using AI themselves
- 38:55Speaker 14: to complete tasks. Visit discoveryeducation.com to learn more and view

- 41:02Speaker 15: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
- 41:08Speaker 15: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 41:12Speaker 15: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 41:15Speaker 15: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 41:21Speaker 15: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 41:24Speaker 15: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 41:27Speaker 15: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 41:32Speaker 15: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
- 41:36Speaker 15: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

- 44:10Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:17Speaker 5: We don't want to wait.
- 44:25Speaker 3: It's a simple concept.
- 44:26Speaker 6: You have the right to do as you see fit
- 44:28Speaker 6: until it impacts somebody else's right to do as they
- 44:31Speaker 6: see fit. And for all the people who hand-ring and
- 44:37Speaker 6: teeth-nash over, I don't know how we resolve this, it's
- 44:42Speaker 6: really simple. And if you fail in that pursuit, we
- 44:47Speaker 6: put you in prisons. And it's not because of your religion.
- 44:52Speaker 6: It's because you infringed on someone else's rights. The trouble
- 44:58Speaker 6: with the American society is that we've forgotten that, or
- 45:03Speaker 6: we find that to be inappropriate or too simple. We
- 45:09Speaker 6: need to do more than that. We've established we can
- 45:13Speaker 6: do that. Now we need to do other things. And
- 45:17Speaker 6: we've forgotten how to do the things that we were
- 45:19Speaker 6: tasked to do, which is protect each other's rights and
- 45:24Speaker 6: punish the people that transgress them.
- 45:28Speaker 3: And that's what.
- 45:29Speaker 6: Needs to be the narrative as America, the United States especially,
- 45:36Speaker 6: and perhaps our neighbors to the north, America Light, a
- 45:40Speaker 6: third less calories than your regular United States, and fresh
- 45:46Speaker 6: maple scent. especially in the streets of Quebec, can brace
- 45:52Speaker 6: for some of the same stuff because it's about dominion
- 46:03Speaker 6: is the word. I'm not the old dominion like Virginia,
- 46:06Speaker 6: but dominion nonetheless. We can't convince you, nor do we
- 46:12Speaker 6: have the patience to convince you, so we're going to
- 46:16Speaker 6: either scare you into compliance, because that says faith, or
- 46:21Speaker 6: kill you and then scare your descendants into compliance. And
- 46:30Speaker 6: that's what's happening on the streets of Paris. Kareem is
- 46:33Speaker 6: on the line with us at 434-882-4217, as you can
- 46:34Speaker 6: as well. Text message is Coming in by the droves
- 46:42Speaker 6: as well, people reacting to how this is all playing
- 46:45Speaker 6: out on their streets. And are they concerned if it's
- 46:48Speaker 6: going to play out on their streets? And plenty of
- 46:51Speaker 6: other things going on this morning.
- 46:53Speaker 3: Good morning, Kareem. What's on your mind, sir?
- 46:56Speaker 2: Good morning, Joe. I'll tell you what, there's a whole
- 46:58Speaker 2: lot to pull from. So I'll just start with my
- 47:01Speaker 2: favorite Mandela quote. With the necklace, we will overcome. That's
- 47:07Speaker 2: not from Nelson. That was from Mrs.
- 47:08Speaker 3: Mandela.
- 47:09Speaker 2: And if anybody wants to know what the necklace is,
- 47:13Speaker 2: go ahead.
- 47:14Speaker 3: No, no, it's Winnie.
- 47:15Speaker 6: And people forget Winnie Mandela's role in the whole Mandela effect,
- 47:21Speaker 6: if you will, on the world because he's just a
- 47:25Speaker 6: guy in jail if it isn't for her ability to
- 47:29Speaker 6: get the story out to the West because there were
- 47:33Speaker 6: other political dissidents who, Just none had the network around
- 47:37Speaker 6: them to get the story out there the way Winnie
- 47:41Speaker 6: was able to do while Nelson was in prison.
- 47:46Speaker 2: Network and fortitude to get things done. Prison changed Nelson.
- 47:52Speaker 2: It made him more patient. Before he went there, he
- 47:54Speaker 2: had a gun and he used it. The necklace that
- 47:57Speaker 2: Winnie was talking about is the tire that they would
- 48:00Speaker 2: soak in gasoline and set around the neck of the
- 48:03Speaker 2: person who was against them. So these fires in Paris,
- 48:07Speaker 2: these protests across France and in other locations across the world,
- 48:13Speaker 2: this is not new. This has been going on for decades.
- 48:16Speaker 2: Whenever somebody is wanting to hold on power, protesters are
- 48:19Speaker 2: usually how they jostle it loose. Napoleon, what he fired
- 48:24Speaker 2: on the protesters after the reign of terror, after Rose Pierre,
- 48:28Speaker 2: he fired on protesters. Those protesters were wanting to reestablish
- 48:31Speaker 2: their royalties. They wanted, oh, things are tough now. We
- 48:36Speaker 2: need to put the king back in charge. Well, after
- 48:40Speaker 2: things got settled, I'll put it that way. It took decades,
- 48:43Speaker 2: but things finally got settled from the Louies to, well,
- 48:47Speaker 2: what we have now, anyway.
- 48:49Speaker 3: The Screwys. That's what they are.
- 48:53Speaker 2: But, Joe, looking at us, my focus is us. Every day, America.
- 48:58Speaker 2: America first.
- 48:59Speaker 3: But NTG.
- 49:01Speaker 2: Impeach, try to impeach Mayorkas. The borders were wide open.
- 49:07Speaker 2: When you elect a government, you know, they say federal
- 49:10Speaker 2: government protection. First thing is the federal borders and the
- 49:14Speaker 2: doors are wide open. And right now, Greg Bovino has
- 49:17Speaker 2: been saying for years he believes there's 100 million illegal immigrants.
- 49:20Speaker 2: aliens in the U.S. I watched some of that 60
- 49:24Speaker 2: Minutes Leslie Stahl did with our civil rights and talking about, well,
- 49:29Speaker 2: there's only so few people who have already been prosecuted
- 49:31Speaker 2: for illegally voting. We have states that are still resisting,
- 49:35Speaker 2: still resisting showing our voter rolls to the federal government
- 49:38Speaker 2: so they can check the data. But even they admit
- 49:41Speaker 2: they have thousands of illegal aliens on the voter rolls.
- 49:46Speaker 2: These protests that you see about, oh, we don't think
- 49:49Speaker 2: we're going to have jobs. I can't tell you how–
- 49:53Speaker 2: if you have a younger youth force that wants to
- 49:56Speaker 2: get out and work compared to what we're talking about
- 49:58Speaker 2: here in the U.S., tell you what– Motivation is something else.
- 50:04Speaker 2: I don't know how many teenagers want to have jobs
- 50:06Speaker 2: coming out of high school here. They're too busy stuck
- 50:08Speaker 2: at home playing video games.
- 50:09Speaker 6: Well, it's not even that they want jobs or not.
- 50:12Speaker 6: It's they want jobs that they envision. They want lucrative jobs.
- 50:18Speaker 6: They want to be well off. They want to be
- 50:22Speaker 6: free from being afraid of making their mortgage payment or
- 50:26Speaker 6: their rent payment. And this is where the Marxists and
- 50:29Speaker 6: the Islamists who wrap themselves in Marxist clothing or perhaps
- 50:34Speaker 6: more aptly put the other way around, you know, come
- 50:38Speaker 6: in and say, we'll free you from those shackles, if
- 50:44Speaker 6: you will. And let's not forget that, you know, a
- 50:47Speaker 6: lot of what happened after Nelson Mandela became president of
- 50:52Speaker 6: South Africa was was Marxist, was collectivist. And a lot
- 50:57Speaker 6: of the seeds that were planted into what you're watching now,
- 51:00Speaker 6: which is the government taking people's property from them, was
- 51:04Speaker 6: born of that. But there's also a seed that comes
- 51:07Speaker 6: from the authoritarianism of even a French government that pretends
- 51:12Speaker 6: to be a Western democracy. This is what you can
- 51:17Speaker 6: expect if you play games about being like a democracy,
- 51:23Speaker 6: because eventually people are going to believe that they can
- 51:26Speaker 6: change things by voting, and if they don't, that's when
- 51:29Speaker 6: the necklaces come out.
- 51:32Speaker 2: Joe, right? Just two points. One, to boast for what
- 51:34Speaker 2: you just said, and then to boast for what you
- 51:36Speaker 2: said about here. Macron and Le Pen, people were going
- 51:42Speaker 2: to vote for her, but they threw her in jail,
- 51:45Speaker 2: and they postponed. Macron has been playing games to stay empowered.
- 51:50Speaker 2: And his time's coming up. But the voting of France,
- 51:56Speaker 2: they knew when they arrested her that the votes didn't matter.
- 51:58Speaker 2: So now you're seeing the results of that. But here
- 52:00Speaker 2: in America, it's not the kids that got to worry
- 52:02Speaker 2: about their mortgage. Mortgage foreclosures have got to spike as
- 52:06Speaker 2: long as auto loans, their car repossessions. Joe, if you
- 52:10Speaker 2: look for jobs that are openings, collection specialists are the
- 52:14Speaker 2: big ones. Joe, have a great day, and thanks for
- 52:15Speaker 2: taking my call.
- 52:16Speaker 3: Not a problem. Hey, Mr.
- 52:17Speaker 6: Thomas, you're pretty good on the phones. Would you like
- 52:19Speaker 6: to work for 1-800-GOT-DEBT? Because it is. And then, you know,
- 52:26Speaker 6: what's become of the debt that we have, we are
- 52:30Speaker 6: now blaming the government. We're now blaming the bankers. Funny,
- 52:34Speaker 6: there was a country in Europe near France, as a
- 52:37Speaker 6: matter of fact, wound up invading France over banks and debt.
- 52:43Speaker 3: Oh, what was their name? It started with a G.
- 52:48Speaker 3: I can't remember now.
