"Fear and Loathing in Montana" (Tuesday November 04, 2025, Hour 4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I hope a dog on a need to know basis,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: because you need to know the first thing today.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Your rage, George said, steal me.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: A day at least for work.
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: When the sun comes up, drops a kid to scoot.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: The election day, you know, a dream all the jus
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: needs no wonder Joe's smile.
• 0:32
  Speaker 5: He only as Joe.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: I have one question for you on this election day. No,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not that question. This question.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Pretty serious? Why so serious?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, why so serious? Why the rage? Why is
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: it such a rage to get an elected office that's
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: simply supposed to defend our rights? Well, it's how much
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: money is attached to it, how much kickback is attached
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: to it. Because there are people who want to manage life.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: And one hundred years ago there was a movement that's
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: probably more like one hundred and fifty years ago, was
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: born a movement called the technocrats. The technocrats felt like
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: America was too disorganized of a society and it needed
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: some put together. Some serious people with serious education like
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Woodrow Wilson needed to come along and organize America or
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: organize for America. They and they insisted, and there was
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: a context to this that they didn't speak about public,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: even though that in the late eighteen hundreds, it was
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: much more politically correct to say that you you were
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: doing this to protect these poor savages that had just
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: been cut loose from their protected class status as slaves.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: On these Hawaii pu says slave like it's a bad
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: thing now, son, Why they had three meals a day
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: and they had a roof over their head. Now you
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: cut them loose, You Northerners think you didne did something
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: good for these folks. We're gonna have to organize these
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: people and make sure they don't get get themselves in trouble.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: That was the that was the mantra of the technocrat movement.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: That's why the King of the Technocrats, Woodrow Wilson, so
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: proudly screened a movie like Birth of a Nation at
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: the White House. Because you know this idea of being free, Well,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: you can't let well, I say, I say, son, you
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: cannot let just everyone be free. They'd be starting to
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: vote for things that I have, and they started passing
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: things like the Permanent Reapportionment Act, which leads us to
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: where we are in Virginia. Still cannot get an answer
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: as to what happened at the hearings yesterday, and so
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: we are waiting to hear about redistricting in California, and
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: redistricting in Illinois, and redistricting in New York, and redistricting
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: in Virginia, and in some cases violating the very constitutional
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: documents just to get to an end. That's why so serious,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: because there's big money to be made in this, and
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: you say, well, how's that. Because once you organize society,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: you can direct people into spending their money that you've
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: gifted them through your large ass. You've reached into the
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: wallet right there next to your large ass, and you've
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: given them money to spend on the things that you
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: want them to spend things on. And you can direct commerce.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: That's the power. That's why so serious, at least from
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: where we said, because we'll tell you what went on
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: in the world, and then we'll ask you to tell
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: us how it's impacting you where you are. White House
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: launched a website that details one hundred and fifty illegal
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: immigrants who received Medicaid benefits illegally. The website has aimed
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: at spotlighting what the Democrats demands are regarding reopening the
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: federal government. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said he'll be a
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: president at the Supreme Court hearings, which are going on
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: even despite being told that the government's shut down over
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: the president's tariffs. Democrats are out pacing Republicans in campaign
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: ads spending, which means if you know a Democrat campaign consultant,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: they're making big money right now. Don't let them ask
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: you to pay for dinner. Fifty million dollars spend in
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Virginia by the Democrat over twenty five million spent by
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: her Republican. In New Jersey it's sixty one million to
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: forty one million, and the Republicans have been outspent in
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Pennsylvania Supreme Court races four to one. And most of this,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: by the way, is starting to move to digital broadcast
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: rather than being spent on traditional broadcast radio and television.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Google has pulled down for the time being its artificial
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: intelligence machine GEMMA, after Senator Marsha Blackburn reported to them
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: that there was a false sexual misconduct claim posted by
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: their Google CEO, Sundar Pashai. And Blackburn said the model
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: falsely alleged she had been accused of rape during the
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: nineteen eighty seven campaign, citing nonexistent evidence and those are
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: some of your first things. While Donald Trump endorsed Andrew

• 8:08
  Speaker 2: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

  Speaker 1: On a need to know basis, because you need to
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: know the first thing today.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I was asked a couple of weeks ago why I
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: don't use this song as one of our bumper songs,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: says he. It seems obvious, doesn't it. I don't know
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: I try to. I try to avoid the obvious when possible,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: as you could probably tell, and oft we cut a
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: path that way to avoid the obvious, mostly because it
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: is where they want us to go. The harder somebody
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: is pushing you to go to the obvious, the more
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: you want to be going the other way. Visiting with
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Philip Whittaker, the author of the new book it's called
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Common Sense, Removing the Stink from Government. And appreciate the
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: title of a Philip, and I appreciate you giving us
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: some more of your time so in your work and
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: give us a little bit of background of how you
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: come to, you know, do this, and and you know
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: how you came to you know, be somebody who you
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: know is kind of laying out the groundwork for what
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: we should at this point in human evolution take, you know,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: as as muscle memory. But sadly here we are needing
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: to be re taught how to have a conversation.
• 14:53
  Speaker 18: Mm hmm. Well, I have spent most of my belt
• 14:57
  Speaker 18: career in in the vocations that have put me dealing
• 15:03
  Speaker 18: with people and managing, not managing, but at least trying
• 15:07
  Speaker 18: to help people in situation. I was a church pastor
• 15:09
  Speaker 18: for twenty three years and then I've worked in public
• 15:13
  Speaker 18: policy and consulting in those kinds of things since then,
• 15:17
  Speaker 18: and it always irked me a little bit when we
• 15:21
  Speaker 18: would hear, particularly in ministry, well, you know, churches can't
• 15:25
  Speaker 18: talk about this. We don't discuss politics or religion and
• 15:30
  Speaker 18: civil conversations. And I'm thinking, you know, why is that
• 15:36
  Speaker 18: for me? For me as as a Christian And this
• 15:39
  Speaker 18: is where probably well you'll start getting some hate mail
• 15:43
  Speaker 18: when I say this, but for me as a follower
• 15:49
  Speaker 18: of Christ, I believe that my faith should direct every
• 15:53
  Speaker 18: area of my life. Well that and I think, okay,
• 15:58
  Speaker 18: if that's true, then that's going to include the political environment.
• 16:04
  Speaker 18: I should be guided by those same principles whatever I'm doing.
• 16:08
  Speaker 18: And so I don't see a separation there between secular
• 16:12
  Speaker 18: and sacred, because I want my faith to be to
• 16:16
  Speaker 18: guide me and I think it should be that way.
• 16:19
  Speaker 18: I mean, the scriptures are full of people who were
• 16:24
  Speaker 18: faithful followers of their of their faith basically, and still
• 16:31
  Speaker 18: we're active in the political arena. You can go only
• 16:36
  Speaker 18: back to the Book of Exodus with Moses petitioning Pharah
• 16:40
  Speaker 18: for freedom of worship. Uh Daniel working in a in
• 16:43
  Speaker 18: a pagan realm in Babylon. Uh as a minister under
• 16:49
  Speaker 18: under King Abcnazar. So and it goes on and on.
• 16:52
  Speaker 18: Paul petition Caesar for Uh, you know, to a relief
• 16:57
  Speaker 18: after he was persecuted, and he said, I'm going to
• 16:59
  Speaker 18: appeal to Caesar. And again.
• 17:01
  Speaker 15: So there's.
• 17:04
  Speaker 18: Our forebearers.
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: If you will.
• 17:07
  Speaker 18: Understood that faith directions everything we do.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Well and thinking, Philip, I hang on to that a second,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: because I think you know that that is John Locke's
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: basic belief is that God has given us these rights
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: and it is on to the government to protect them,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: not pretend they give them to us. And that's why
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: we work on these election days and out there rallying.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: If you can hang on with us a moment joining
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: us from the campaign trail in Virginia is one of
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: my folks, one of my favorite folks, friend of mine,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: and it could be the next Lieutenant governor of Virginia
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: is John Reid. John. It's it's final get out the
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: vote day, it's making final arguments. How you doing this morning?
• 17:51
  Speaker 19: Oh, I'm great man. We've been up for hours, traveling
• 17:54
  Speaker 19: all over the place. I think I've got twelve more
• 17:56
  Speaker 19: precincts to visit before I finally get back to Raiko
• 18:00
  Speaker 19: County for what I hope will be a big victory
• 18:03
  Speaker 19: party tonight. And just you know, it's all dependent on
• 18:06
  Speaker 19: who turns out, who shows up today, and I hope
• 18:09
  Speaker 19: that Republican voters, conservative voters and independents who are fed
• 18:14
  Speaker 19: up with the partisanship and the nastiness and the threats
• 18:18
  Speaker 19: of violence are going to say enough of this, Let's
• 18:21
  Speaker 19: get responsible people in charge.
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: And I hope I will be one of the people
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: they pick.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Well, and John, you've done morning radio for years. You
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: know the polls, and you know that the public policy
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: polling will generally tell you demographically Virginians when they're asked
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: to identify, and we don't register by party affiliation, but
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: about thirty eight percent of us identify as Democrats, thirty
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: three percent of us identify as Republicans, and the other
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: the other third ardently say oh, I'm not either a party,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: I'm independent. And so there's such a huge swing. That's why,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: you know, people don't understand how the same state they
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: can routinely, you know, vote Tim Kain into their Senate representation,
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: can vote for Glenn Youngkin because there's a there's at
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: least a third of the population that where's that independence
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: like a badge of honor?
• 19:12
  Speaker 19: Yeah, you know, this will also be a little bit
• 19:15
  Speaker 19: of a litmus test about money in virgin You know,
• 19:18
  Speaker 19: my opponent, Gozala Hashmi has been funded to the tune
• 19:21
  Speaker 19: of eight and a half million dollars, and I kept thinking,
• 19:24
  Speaker 19: where the heck is this money coming from. And it's
• 19:26
  Speaker 19: from the same radical socialists and radical Islamists who were funding.
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: Mom Danni in New York City.
• 19:35
  Speaker 19: I mean, we put two and two together, started checking
• 19:38
  Speaker 19: the receipts and it's it's these super packs that are
• 19:42
  Speaker 19: funneling money to her campaign. And she's one of the
• 19:45
  Speaker 19: two radicals that they're pushing this year.
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: Of course, he loves to be in front of the camera.
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: She is been in hiding. I've gotten shot, no money,
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: so yeah, yeah, she just shot.
• 19:56
  Speaker 19: She's she's trying to sneak in there and let other
• 19:59
  Speaker 19: people buy the seat for her. Whereas I put over
• 20:01
  Speaker 19: one hundred thousand miles in my car and I do
• 20:04
  Speaker 19: media every single day and talk to anybody who wants
• 20:06
  Speaker 19: to talk to me, even if the questions are going
• 20:08
  Speaker 19: to be tough. I hope Virginians won't let out of
• 20:11
  Speaker 19: state money purchase this seat.
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: For a radical. I think it's really clear.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Well, a friend of mine was of course asked for
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Nomani who unearthed all the all this dark money and
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: I mean super and I'm not even talking about we
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: don't know. I mean this is these are these are
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: dollars coming from dark places for the Mom, Donnie and
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Hashmi campaigns and funding these packs. It's all money laundering, John,
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: I mean it is like, oh, all these you know,
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: questionable people give money to the pack or send it
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: to Act Blue and then it gets cleansed like you
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: know the old fifties and the money laundering schemes there.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: What is what is the mood uh there now? Post
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Obama trying to bless you know the left campaign on Saturday?
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Are people fired up about what was being said?
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 21:04
  Speaker 19: Yeah, Republicans are fired up. And you know it's odd
• 21:07
  Speaker 19: the Democrats have been so excited that Obama came. Look,
• 21:10
  Speaker 19: I worked for Ronald Reagan after he left the White House.
• 21:13
  Speaker 19: People love to come see the former president. That is
• 21:16
  Speaker 19: not a surprise. But what the Democrats haven't counted on
• 21:19
  Speaker 19: is Obama may motivate some of their base. But it
• 21:23
  Speaker 19: also motivates Republicans to.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Say, we have better turn out because.
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: We remember what we were dealing with.
• 21:32
  Speaker 19: Then, we saw the start of the radicalism taking over
• 21:35
  Speaker 19: our federal government, and we don't want that to happen
• 21:38
  Speaker 19: in Richmond and in Virginia and with Jay Jones's really disgusting,
• 21:44
  Speaker 19: very worrisome texts about killing people in order to make
• 21:48
  Speaker 19: them change their political opinion.

  Speaker 1: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, one another one of them morning radio voices, but
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: running for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, John Reid. We were
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: talking about, you know, the radical you know, and and
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: really you know, violent nature of what is happening out
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: on you know, and I really feel that like there's
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: some darkness to it, you know, John, I want to
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: tie this in. You have a story that we've been
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: covering this morning, which you know, came out of Montana,
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: where a I guess Helena city official left a message
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: for Senator she wishing his death, wishing a painful death,
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: wishing infertility and and and all sorts of nasty things
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: on his life, of pocks, on his life in every
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: possible way, just simply for his vote on the one Great,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Big Beautiful Bill Act or whatever it wound up being called.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: This is, you know again, go back to let your
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: rage fuel you. It's indicative of more going on here
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: than just Hey, my party has different ideas on how
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: to do healthcare. There's there's darkness afoot in your opponents.
• 29:42
  Speaker 19: And it should worry everybody, even if you are an
• 29:45
  Speaker 19: old school Democrat. This new attitude of open hostility and
• 29:50
  Speaker 19: violence which has been on display for a while. I mean,
• 29:54
  Speaker 19: it's part of my normal remarks to people is that
• 29:56
  Speaker 19: you know, I was on the radio Enrichment when people
• 29:59
  Speaker 19: we being abused in the city of Richmond, sometimes black
• 30:03
  Speaker 19: families burned out and abused by white people who claimed
• 30:08
  Speaker 19: they were standing up for black lives. And the hypocrisy
• 30:12
  Speaker 19: and the irony and the twisted sickness of that apparently
• 30:16
  Speaker 19: didn't resonate with people. Well, I'm not going to let
• 30:18
  Speaker 19: that stand. I'm going to stand up for everybody that
• 30:20
  Speaker 19: I get an opportunity to speak on behalf of in
• 30:23
  Speaker 19: the state. It's why I think you want someone who's
• 30:25
  Speaker 19: mainstream and responsible like me, instead of a leftist radical
• 30:31
  Speaker 19: like Azawa Hashmian. You know, somebody said to me, oh,
• 30:33
  Speaker 19: you're being mean saying she's a radical. I think she
• 30:36
  Speaker 19: would own that. She says she's the leader of the
• 30:39
  Speaker 19: progressive movement. She's very proud of it, so I'm sorry,
• 30:42
  Speaker 19: I'm not.
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: Going to sugarcoat it. She's one of the people pushing this.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Stuff well, and as somebody who works in the public
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: sphere as long as I have, I mean, and you
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: and I are cut from the same bolt of fabric.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: I think John, from the standpoint of we don't shy
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: away from things like poverty being a real issue. Conservatives,
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: I think, for too long said oh, we don't talk
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: about that because it's a winner for the progressives. It's real,
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: and we have better answers in a free market, capitalist
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: society towards fighting poverty real generationally anyway, John, and I
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: think that's the nice change on our side is that
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: we have politicians, maybe inspired by Trump, but You've always
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: been this guy to say, hey, I get it, people
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: can't afford healthcare. We need to have answers for it,
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: and not shy away from those.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:33
  Speaker 19: The problem is that the government solution that is the
• 31:37
  Speaker 19: default position of the Democrat Party generally makes things.
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: Worse, not better.
• 31:43
  Speaker 19: Obamacare, I think I keep hearing about what a great
• 31:46
  Speaker 19: success it is, and then everyone complains that the premiums
• 31:50
  Speaker 19: are going up and they can't get in to see
• 31:51
  Speaker 19: the doctor, and you know, I don't know. Maybe you're
• 31:53
  Speaker 19: an illegal alien and you're showing up and you get
• 31:56
  Speaker 19: to use the emergency room as your doctor care. You
• 31:59
  Speaker 19: might be in a better situation, but I'm not. I mean,
• 32:02
  Speaker 19: I'm fifty four. My healthcare arrangement was much better when
• 32:05
  Speaker 19: I was in my twenties. Now I sit at home
• 32:08
  Speaker 19: suffering when I've got the flu because I don't want
• 32:10
  Speaker 19: to pay the the out of pocket expense and I
• 32:14
  Speaker 19: probably can't get an appointment. So, you know, the things
• 32:16
  Speaker 19: that the Democrats come up with generally make things worse
• 32:19
  Speaker 19: instead of actually solving the problem. And I'm sorry. I
• 32:23
  Speaker 19: don't give people credit for good intentions and bad results.
• 32:27
  Speaker 19: I give people credit when you get good results.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: Well, I know that last time you were on with US,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I had a listener in Florida say, can we clone
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: him like a million times and get him to run
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: for every office? They appreciate your view of that. I
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: appreciate the fact that on election day you can still laugh.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: And that's what we really appreciate. John Reid, it's John
• 32:49

  Speaker 19: my heart is and that's what I'll do.

  Speaker 3: and the elders would sit with the young people, the
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: young students, and argue. And it was fascinating once the
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: film of this room full of people having passionate arguments
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: about scripture, you know, and in the most deeply held
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: parts of that community. But it was so that the
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: young people could learn from the elders, you know, what
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: does this mean? And the elders knew that, oh, this
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: is what the young people are questioning. Let's make sure
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: we're right on that. You know, you mentioned earlier that
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: you know, we were told don't talk about politics or religion.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately you're on talk radio and that's ninety nine percent
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: of our programming these days. And I don't think I
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: do it with diminishment for anyone. I want to hear
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: from everybody about that, but that idea that we can
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: argue about something and use that debate for education rather
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: than like a football game, and there's going to be
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: a victor and a vanquished at the end.
• 36:44
  Speaker 18: Right, right, And I think that if you look back
• 36:47
  Speaker 18: to the founding era, certainly in particular of the Constitutional
• 36:54
  Speaker 18: Convention of seventeen eighty seven, those men who went into
• 36:58
  Speaker 18: that convention disagreed on almost every policy issue there was,
• 37:06
  Speaker 18: and that's why they didn't get anywhere for a long time.
• 37:08
  Speaker 18: But they finally were able to come to understand, let's
• 37:12
  Speaker 18: talk about the principles that drive our differing opinions. And
• 37:18
  Speaker 18: that's what they agreed on, and that's why we have
• 37:20
  Speaker 18: a constitution that lays the framework for self governance and
• 37:26
  Speaker 18: limits the operation of government to protect the freedoms of
• 37:32
  Speaker 18: the people that had never been done before, nothing like
• 37:36
  Speaker 18: these United States had ever been done before.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, you're so right. And just the premise of protecting
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: the freedom of religion rather than saying, this is the
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: King's religion and you all have to go to his
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: church there and the battle of it ever since. And
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: I guess maybe sometimes it's too simple just to protect
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: all those God given rights. We want to invent our own.

  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk Media Network.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: Still email comes into JT in the Morning Radio at
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: gmail dot com. Teresa asking, listening down there in Saint Augustine, Joe,
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: what makes you and doctor Clark think that the lady
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: from Helena, Montana is the victim of agit prop? That
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: seems very dismissive. Why can't you she like you, hold
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: these beliefs very closely to her heart? Fairly, he said,
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: especially after spending a good bit of the last hour,
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: you know, with a fellow talking about how to have
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: a conversation. And you can't just dismiss somebody as the
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: victim of agit prop. But listen to what because it's
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: talking points. It's the same thing I was pointing out
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: with Focahontas yesterday and Colleen Mastow and Mark Warner, they
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: were all singing from the same choir book. They all
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: mysteriously had the same thing to say that Donald Trump
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: has to tell the Republicans what to do, and they
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: won't do anything without it. So I want to hear
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: And this is a story you may may or may
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: not have heard. Tim Sheehy, Senator from Montana, or received
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: this voicemail from a I'm told I'm corrected she is
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: a candidate for city manager in Helena, Montana.
• 45:56
  Speaker 26: Hi, this is Haley. I'm a constituent in Helena, Monta
• 46:00
  Speaker 26: and I just wanted to let you know that you
• 46:02
  Speaker 26: are the most insufferable kind of calendar thief. You just
• 46:06
  Speaker 26: stripped away healthcare for seventeen million Americans.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: Because that right there is a talking point. Teresa stripped
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: away healthcare for seventeen million Americans. They nuanced that after
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: the fact and made it seventeen million people's that's the
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: illegal population that was going to lose healthcare because we
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: weren't going to pay for it anymore because they weren't citizens.
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: So at the time she left the message, and this
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: was right after the vote on the One Big Beautiful
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: Bill Act came in, And from what I understand, there's
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: now a police Yeah, because first thing was when this
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: hit I think it was Fox News had this. I'm
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: like on a second year. She made this phone call
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: months ago and people are just finding out about it
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: on election day. That seems curious, So I bet it.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: Apparently there's some sort of police you know, there was
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: a police investigation into it, and that's why it didn't
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: get out as a story before because she makes some
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: pretty specific things about dangers and attempts on the senator's
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: life and that kind of thing. But that very moment
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: right there, she's been told this is what the One
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: Big Beautiful Bill Act does, and these overly large bills
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: to be fair that both sides. They write these seven
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: eight hundred page bills, and most of those pages are
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: filled with cross references to other seven or eight hundred
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: page long pieces of legislation. It's what our friend Wayne
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: Cruz at the Competitive Enterprise Institute calls the ten thousand Commandments.
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: So nobody sees all of the impact. You know, each
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: congress person has a staff of a dozen going through
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: the bill. You take chapter one, you take chapter two,
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: you take chapter three, just to go through it all.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: They talk about having twenty four hours before a bill
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: has to go to a vote. So when we said
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: that she's the victim of agit prop, it's because she
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: read from you know, the talking point at the time.
• 48:40
  Speaker 26: Sief, you just stripped away healthcare for seventeen million Americans.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: Because that was the statement on it all. And then
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: she goes on to get.
• 48:50
  Speaker 26: Oh, and I hope you're really proud of that. I
• 48:52
  Speaker 26: hope that what day you get pancreatic cancer and it
• 48:55
  Speaker 26: spreads throughout your body so fast that they can't even
• 48:58
  Speaker 26: treat you for it. I hope that you die in
• 49:00
  Speaker 26: the street like a dog. I one day you're gonna
• 49:06
  Speaker 26: live to regret this. I hope that your children never
• 49:10
  Speaker 26: forgive you. I hope that you are infertile.
• 49:12
  Speaker 27: I hope you never managed to a You are the
• 49:16
  Speaker 27: worst piece of ever ever ever had the misfortune of
• 49:22
  Speaker 27: looking at.
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, gross, those aren't necessarily talking points. That's where she
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: lets her that's where she lets her flag unfurl. And
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: you know why we've been playing with tongue in cheek
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: a little bit on why so serious? But it's because
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: there is big money behind these campaigns. And if you
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: want that big money, and I'm not dismissing the fact
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: that some folks get into this. Oh, I see poverty
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: and I want to do something about poverty. And when
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: we talk about the fact that people who vote for
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: it are trying to take the easy way out, it's
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: not because they're slothful. It's because somebody has engaged all
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: of our We all have innate sloth. We all want
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: to take the easiest possible path to a solution. So
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: sloth doesn't always bring about bad You know, sometimes finding
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: the most simple and cost effective and immediate path to
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: a resolution of something is a good thing. Often it's not.
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: But they go after you and say, well, you know,
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: you could try to feed people every day and not
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: make the kind of impact that I a us Sonata say,
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: I say, look at me when I'm talking to your boy.
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: That was a joke this on and so you say, wow, yeah,
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: I could. I could feed just if I vote for
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: Congressman whosey, what's it's I can feed millions of people,
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: and I can sleep well at night knowing that my
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: vote is my public service, my vote is my virtue signal,
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: and it makes it worse every time. This is why
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: we brought up the Great Society earlier in the program,
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: because the the the great society is what feeds this
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: this idea that there's there's somebody who's hiding the money
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: that you need or the freedom that you have that
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: you need.
• 51:33
  Speaker 28: In your time, we have the opportunity to move not
• 51:37
  Speaker 28: only towards the rich society and the powerful society, but
• 51:43
  Speaker 28: upward to the great society.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: Warning sirens should have gone off.
• 51:47
  Speaker 28: A great society rests on abundance and liberty for all.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: And and you know, almost immediately a Democrat in Lyndon
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: Johnson's own party quit and started going out and arguing
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: ag against that kind of Marxism. His name was Ronald
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: Wilson Reagan because as he said during his time for
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: choosing speech, do a little arithmetic, and all of the
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: do gooders, and you know, you wonder fancifully because Goldwater
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: versus LBJ was it wasn't good. Well, what would have
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: happened if Reagan had run against LBJ? Do you think
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: he stood a better chance or would he have just
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: lost and then been discarded to the ash heap of history.
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: I posited this several weeks ago, and I was told, Joe,
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: you're crazy. Reagan would have lost to LBJ and we
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: never would have had him again. Who knows, but until
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: tomorrow morning when we go through the election results. So
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: long and thanks for all the fish.
• 52:55
