"Maybe the End of the Beginning?" (Tuesday October 14, 2025, Hour 1) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: A new coalition of proud and responsible nations is emerging.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
• 0:10
  the second most famous Thomas and Charlottesville Jewort.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Said, steal me stem a day at least for work
• 0:19
  when the sun comes up, drops.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: A pet to school.
• 0:22
  Speaker 5: Anyway, Joey has everything a gender, all the treasures, needs
• 0:29
  no one that Joe's as smile.
• 0:31
  Speaker 6: He only aids.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Let them be. Joe, bless you for letting me be
• 0:38
  of service to you this morning.
• 0:40
  Speaker 7: I want to be Yo, because of us.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: The enemies of all civilization.
• 0:46
  Speaker 8: Are in retreat.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Amen to that, and that's what it has to be.
• 0:50
  But you know what they come back retreat is not vanquishment.
• 0:55
  And I think this is something that the receiver wants
• 1:01
  to use against us, as he tried to wear Jesus down,
• 1:06
  offering him kingdoms on earth. Is that they.
• 1:12
  Speaker 9: Have all the time in the world.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: And what's really most gobsmacking to me, and I think
• 1:19
  you as well, is how much.
• 1:21
  Speaker 9: Resources they are. How do they have all those nice toys?
• 1:28
  And it's wearisome because we're out here with bailing wire
• 1:31
  and dunk tape winning and I don't know if you
• 1:40
  do better if you have better toys or not. Joe
• 1:47
  Biden famously once said in the discussion about the Second Amendment,
• 1:52
  he said, if you want to take on the US government,
• 1:54
  you better get some F fifteen's. We'll set aside the
• 1:58
  whole controversy overtraining Katari pilots to fly F fifteen's for
• 2:03
  another moment, but he said it. We've got the clip somewhere,
• 2:08
  but I don't feel the urge to play more Joe
• 2:10
  Biden on the air that needs to be played, but
• 2:13
  he said, you know, yeah, if you want to take
• 2:15
  on the US government, you better get some F fifteen's.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: And it struck me that though it sounds mean and
• 2:27
  it doesn't sound promotive, there have been an awful lot
• 2:32
  of scrappy, hard scrabble upstarts who have taken on big
• 2:38
  armies in the past, victoriously the battle to oust Britain's
• 2:48
  occupying force from the thirteen New States of these United
• 2:54
  States being pre eminent in my mind. But sadly, as
• 2:58
  we grew to the point where we had all the
• 3:02
  nice toys, we made tactical mistakes and put our young
• 3:07
  men and women in harm's way in places where their
• 3:10
  leadership wasn't ready to give them the same battle cry
• 3:15
  that those hiding in the hills and hiding in the
• 3:19
  trees and hiding in the tunnels under Southeast Asia often had.
• 3:29
  But fear not. Because the deceiver has all the nice
• 3:32
  toys doesn't mean he's going to be victorious. But it
• 3:40
  doesn't mean he's going away forever either. And that's what
• 3:45
  you have to steal yourself for. That's what faith is
• 3:49
  all about, is understanding that the battle will be back,
• 3:58
  and you just have to be ready for it. Oh
• 4:01
  so much to get into on this first thing today.
• 4:04
  I hope you enjoyed yesterday's program. I enjoyed bringing it
• 4:07
  to you, although I was exhausted by the end of
• 4:10
  it trying to go back and forth in between President
• 4:12
  and Trump's address to the KINESID Live. If you missed it,
• 4:17
  it's up on the podcast channel. You'll have to go
• 4:19
  to Joe Thomas in the Morning dot com and subscribe.
• 4:23
  You should really subscribe to one of the podcast distribution places,
• 4:27
  and it doesn't have to be iHeart or Spotify or
• 4:33
  even Apple Podcast. It could be something a little more
• 4:36
  art house like Deezer, and they'll send you a notification
• 4:41
  when We put the episodics up there for you to download,
• 4:45
  but I am taking valuable time away from our first
• 4:48
  things this morning. President Trump continued after he leughed Israel
• 4:53
  and went to Egypt, where the Egyptian president told a
• 4:57
  summit of world leaders that President Donald Trump's Me East
• 5:00
  proposal represents the last chance for peace in the region
• 5:06
  and reiterated his call for a two state solution. Former
• 5:10
  President Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln
• 5:15
  both inferred that they deserved the credit for the peace deal.
• 5:21
  On ex Biden, in the midst of his cancer treatment, said,
• 5:24
  the road to this deal was not easy. My administration
• 5:28
  worked relentlessly to bring hostages home and give relief to Palestinians.
• 5:33
  Blincoln said Trump's twenty point peace plan is good that
• 5:38
  President Trump adopted and built on the plan the Biden
• 5:41
  administration developed after months of discussion with the Arab partners.
• 5:48
  President Trump, when he's back in Washington Friday, will welcome
• 5:52
  Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski to the White House. No word
• 5:55
  on if Tomahawks will be involved, but they'll discuss how
• 5:59
  they can bring President of Vladimir Putin into the peace negotiations.
• 6:05
  Hundreds of federal employees working on mental health services, disease outbreaks,
• 6:09
  and disaster preparedness, according to their union chiefs who sent
• 6:13
  the press release out, have been laid off by the
• 6:16
  administration's mass layoffs. No word on whether they were important
• 6:21
  to those tasks, but they were working there and the
• 6:24
  federal government shut down is starting to hit the economy.
• 6:27
  According to the US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant, those are
• 6:30
  our first things at Fishburn Military School. There's no hiding here.
• 6:39

• 6:43

  Speaker 11: Strong Talil, considered by most optimized curcumin is one of
• 8:07
  the few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
• 8:12
  I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
• 8:18
  our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
• 8:22
  any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
• 8:26
  or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

  Speaker 8: Hi, everybody, I'm Jackhannah and it's always a boy. Growing
• 10:01
  up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15
  who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
• 10:17
  for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:25
  best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
• 10:41
  a change.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: In their blood chemistry.
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
• 10:45
  contribute to society and help those in need. So please
• 10:48
  join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
• 10:51
  dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
• 10:54
  inhabit together. Go to American Humane dot org to learn more.

  Speaker 9: Bruh, that's buzzed. Oh yeah yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:05
  Speaker 13: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 14: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  art and brain who's with me.
• 11:13
  Speaker 15: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
• 11:15
  brain is saying when it's time to go home.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 16: Love that guy, me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
• 11:23
  it's time to go home.
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:28
  Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35

  Speaker 18: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40
  anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
• 12:44
  but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

• 12:54
  Speaker 18: Treatment works recovery is possible.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: On a need to know basis, because you need to
• 13:15
  know the first thing today.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: As a son of the Highlands, myself heraldically anyway, I
• 13:45
  mean both of my families. I mean my grandmother's family
• 13:49
  has been in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia since the
• 13:55
  eighteenth century. So it's not like I got off the
• 13:58
  boat like my father and mother in law did from Scotland.
• 14:02
  But I always appreciate it and I remember the day.
• 14:04
  On this fourteenth day of October, you'll notice a lot
• 14:07
  of your friends wearing red. Maybe you haven't caught on,
• 14:11
  or you didn't get the email, or you're trying to
• 14:13
  go email free for a while. It's kind of like
• 14:20
  the electronic version of going gluten free. But today it
• 14:26
  would have been Charlie Kirk's birthday, and so you'll find
• 14:32
  a lot of folks. This particular email stuck out yesterday,
• 14:36
  came in after the show. Mary writes in, I've got
• 14:42
  an invitation shoe from my local political party who's holding
• 14:46
  a Charlie Kirk event. I believe this is the third
• 14:49
  one they've held since the assassination. How many of these
• 14:54
  are going to go on? It seems like there's an
• 14:57
  awful lot of this happening and not a lot of
• 14:59
  this Charlie wanted happening. Well, you know, you got have
• 15:03
  to understand, Mary, that that grieving takes a lot, and
• 15:08
  when there's a loss, and and some of grieving and
• 15:12
  I'm going to say the quiet part out loud is
• 15:15
  for those who didn't know, or didn't acknowledge, or didn't
• 15:19
  or feel in some way that they didn't do enough.
• 15:24
  So you have to you have to empathize with that feeling.
• 15:28
  And but yeah, there are events all over the place
• 15:33
  that will be held today to again, but I hope
• 15:37
  that they're all driven by Charlie's spirit. Of let's do something,
• 15:43
  let's be the change makers. And I say this as
• 15:47
  somebody who was a very early adopter working in a
• 15:50
  lot of my career has been bounced, whether now it's
• 15:54
  Corvallis and Charlottesville and Harrisonburg and all these cool college
• 15:58
  towns where we're on provo that I was always aware
• 16:09
  of the impact of Turning Point USA, and I was
• 16:13
  always just impressed because in radio, one of the things
• 16:17
  they always have to they drill into your head. If
• 16:19
  you run radio stations, you always have to bring in
• 16:22
  new listeners, young listeners. You have to keep the audience
• 16:25
  from graying out. Is what the expression in the radio
• 16:29
  consultancy world is. You have to bring in new young people.
• 16:33
  And for a very very long time, it was feeling
• 16:36
  like the conservative movement, the progressives were just going to
• 16:41
  run out the clock on the Conservatives. They were getting older,
• 16:46
  and the Reagan Republicans were aging out to be gentle
• 16:55
  with the way you say it. So then December of
• 17:00
  twenty twenty one happens and Rush Limbaugh passes away, and
• 17:05
  I think, you know, a lot of the schisms that
• 17:09
  we'll get into in a moment over conservatism are going
• 17:17
  on because there wasn't an oracle, if you will, he
• 17:23
  would jokingly call himself that. But there's no one spot
• 17:30
  to go. I suggest you go to Kirkcenter dot org
• 17:33
  and read it in its original form. This is where
• 17:36
  Rush learned it from. It's where Buckley learned it from.
• 17:39
  It's where Reagan learned it from. Russell Kirk, not Charlie. Kirk.
• 17:47
  Kirkcenter dot org has nothing. Well, Charlie loved Russell Kirk.
• 17:52
  No relation, of course. But when that happened, I found out,
• 17:59
  like many people didn't know, Charlie was doing radio at
• 18:03
  a radio program and I was one of the early
• 18:05
  adopters to his radio program. And he joined me for
• 18:09
  a little while and I said, hey, taken over noontime.
• 18:12
  Here's the keys. No pressure.
• 18:15
  Speaker 19: Well, you know, pressure shows the man is what the
• 18:18
  old expression is. So I hope I can live up
• 18:20
  to it. But I appreciate the words, and I love Charlotteville,
• 18:24
  and I love that part of the world. So honored
• 18:26
  to be able to speak to everyone every day.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: So you know, we got talking about Jefferson and the
• 18:32
  importance of the founders and all, well, thank you.
• 18:35
  Speaker 19: I appreciate that we do have a great group at
• 18:37
  University of Virginia. And I'm a big Thomas Jefferson fan,
• 18:40
  and I'm not afraid to say that because I actually
• 18:42
  know my history of Jefferson. I'm like the people that
• 18:44
  want to remove him from our society. He was a
• 18:48
  brilliant man and any sort of moral shortcomings he had
• 18:52
  were actually a lot more nuanced than people would realize. However,
• 18:54
  I did not come here to talk about that, but
• 18:57
  more broadly, yes, what we're doing at Turning Point USA
• 19:00
  trying to educate and inspire, activate and train the next
• 19:03
  generation to stand boldly and with courage against this kind
• 19:07
  of cultural onslaught, know their history, know why they believe
• 19:11
  what they believe, be able to articulate why America is
• 19:14
  the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of
• 19:16
  the world, and then also hopefully be persuasive to their peers.
• 19:20
  And so that's what we do every single day. And
• 19:22
  we've been in the radio space just about ten months now,
• 19:25
  about two years in the podcast space. And as you mentioned,
• 19:28
  Rush was a good friend. We did a lot of
• 19:30
  things together. He spoke at multiple of our events. And
• 19:33
  there is no replacing Russia INBA. All there is is
• 19:35
  hopefully continuing what he started. Well, that's a phenomenal compliment,
• 19:40
  and thank you. I don't know what to say except
• 19:43
  that I agree with your analysis of that's what Rush
• 19:46
  meant to me. And I've gotten into this because I
• 19:49
  was listening to Russian the suburbs of Chicago on station
• 19:53
  eight ninety WLS on the dial. I used to listen
• 19:55
  to him at lunch. It was not Eastern time. It
• 19:58
  would be let me think about this, yeah, two, that's right.
• 20:01
  I used to listen to him in his third hour
• 20:03
  in my lunch break in high school because he was
• 20:04
  the only one that gave me the confidence and the
• 20:07
  clarity on how to fight for conservative value.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: And there's messages in that. And that's my sit down
• 20:13
  with Charlie. And you're going to run into a lot
• 20:15
  of people. I have demurred from a lot of you know, folks,
• 20:19
  I've gone to a lot of events since the assassination
• 20:22
  of Charlie Kirk. I haven't spoken except in passing at
• 20:27
  a Convention of States. It meant that I was invited
• 20:31
  to speak at right after his assassination. But you hear
• 20:35
  in there this is what we do every day. It's
• 20:38
  breaking down the news. I mean, you're going to know
• 20:41
  what's going on in the world, but fear not the
• 20:47
  idea that there are tangible right and wrong directions in
• 20:54
  all of this stuff, and much of what we do
• 20:57
  here is based on that and always has been, is
• 21:00
  to show you that it's not so hard to come
• 21:05
  up with the right answers. And a lot of your
• 21:08
  elected officials and I used to really get queasy about
• 21:14
  talking about elected officials, but I understand that John Locke,
• 21:18
  who invented the whole concept of liberty, government and human independence,
• 21:26
  and Jefferson, his avatar into the government space, said very
• 21:31
  clearly to secure these rights, governments are instituted amongst men,
• 21:36
  deriving their just powers from the government. Well that's the
• 21:39
  door the deceiver is used to get into our world,
• 21:43
  because well, you got to have to have government here,
• 21:45
  let me see what I can do for you, and
• 21:47
  they buy us out and we have to be bold
• 21:50
  against it. Much much going on, but just a quick
• 21:53
  note on the Charlie Kirk birthday today and wear some
• 21:59
  red for Charlie hey Brandt. And her name is Shary
• 22:03
  I love.
• 22:04
  Speaker 20: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  for because of a surgery she just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 21: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  talk about all the time, which.
• 22:13
  Speaker 20: Is meta share.
• 22:14
  Speaker 21: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 20: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
• 22:17
  and healthcare ability?
• 22:18
  Speaker 21: Honestly, brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
• 22:21
  you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
• 22:24
  members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  me tell you, having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  call in with your need that is.
• 22:32
  Speaker 20: Just yes, refreshing.
• 22:34
  Speaker 21: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: What I keep telling people.
• 22:36
  Speaker 20: People love meda share and they love saving money. The
• 22:39
  typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 21: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
• 22:46
  and I mean different in a very very good way.
• 22:48
  Speaker 20: It is good different.

  Speaker 1: Hi.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
• 23:06
  Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
• 23:11
  better care for pets from AI assisted radiographs that speed
• 23:15
  up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
• 23:20
  veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
• 23:25
  personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:30
  and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
• 23:34
  on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
• 23:40
  a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
• 23:44
  AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
• 23:48
  your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
• 23:53
  center of our profession. For more information on AI and
• 23:56

  Speaker 11: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 24:12
  am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  The Maeoclinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:42
  cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 24:45
  in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 24:50
  healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

• 25:58
  the woots.
• 26:00
  Speaker 13: And now a speech.
• 26:02
  Speaker 14: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 26:06
  heart and brain.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Who's with me.
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:10
  Speaker 15: And my brain is saying when it's time to go home.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: Somebody call me a ride.

  Speaker 16: Love that guy, me too.
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when

• 26:28
  Speaker 17: Energy efficiency isn't just good for the environment, It means
• 26:31
  lower utility bills too. One way to reduce your energy
• 26:35
  waste is a home energy assessment. Your utility company can help,
• 26:40
  or you can learn how to do it yourself at
• 26:42
  energysavers dot gov. That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to
• 26:46
  look for air leaks around windows and doors, check ducks
• 26:49
  for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time to cut
• 26:53
  energy costs is when you shop for a new appliance.
• 26:56
  Look for the energy star logo and read the energy
• 26:59
  guide later. And there are day to day things you
• 27:02
  can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:05
  in the summer, close fireplace stampers when they're not in use,
• 27:09
  and keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 27:12

  he's lucky to have.

  Speaker 22: A brother like you.

  Speaker 3: Lucky.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: Caring for my brother is far from easy, but he's

  I'll be his no time.

  Speaker 2: A hundred to do list. Putting the radio on is
• 28:14
  the first thing today.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Amen to that. You know. I don't always read emails,
• 28:29
  but when I do, they usual sound like a dose
• 28:32
  Eki's commercial. He's the boy, He's the most. I don't
• 28:36
  know what would I be the most anyway. I don't
• 28:39
  think I'm the most interesting man on the in the world,
• 28:42
  but I'm certainly far from the most confused man in
• 28:46
  the world. A couple of emails I wanted to get to,
• 28:51
  and I'm going to read this one mostly because it
• 28:55
  takes a pot shot at me, and it's fair because
• 28:59
  I think that we all need to have needles stuck
• 29:02
  at us and and therefore keep ourselves honest. Steve writes
• 29:17
  in last week Joe Thomas quote, beware people who try
• 29:23
  to associate themselves with Charlie Kirk. Joe Thomas this week quote,
• 29:28
  listen to me associate myself with Charlie Kirk, hypocrite. So
• 29:34
  there you go. Do you agree? Do you agree? Was
• 29:37
  I doing the same thing Candice Owens and Nick Foyantes
• 29:40
  are doing. I don't think so, but that's a point
• 29:45
  that's open to debate. I certainly don't mind sitting down
• 29:49
  and raging on that if that's where you sit. Also
• 29:53
  got this great email after the program yesterday, and I
• 29:57
  wanted to address it because in this particular window, because
• 30:03
  this is where we are. We have some friends in
• 30:08
  Virginia Beach wtar out there. Joe Brenda writes in I
• 30:13
  live in Virginia Beach. For decades, the military has trained
• 30:16
  folks from all over the world as a spouse of
• 30:18
  a retired military person and a disabled veteran myself. I've
• 30:22
  seen these foreign military members on all three of the
• 30:26
  bases in my area. Training cutter is paying for the
• 30:29
  new barracks and whatever else is needed, and when they leave,
• 30:33
  the barracks and all other facilities remain here for us
• 30:36
  to use. Sounds like a good deal to me. Sidebar,
• 30:39
  I have Fox and Friends playing in the background. I
• 30:42
  just saw a huge American flag smiling emoji. I just
• 30:46
  found your show a month ago, and I am really
• 30:49
  enjoying it. Thanks for all you do. The word smithing
• 30:55
  as the words smithing bad place. My email trunk your
• 31:00
  sentence in the middle of the phrase wordsmithing. Well, I
• 31:04
  appreciate that, Brenda. So you see, I said, have to
• 31:07
  have balance because I'm shallow and desperate. But she was
• 31:13
  talking about the story of the Katari Air Force pilots
• 31:17
  being trained and this Laurel Lomer stuff where she's insisting
• 31:21
  that she's now going to trash anything. President Trump touches
• 31:26
  pointes is on the same rant because they've decided that
• 31:31
  they've stopped being coy about feeding this frenzy of Christian nationalism,
• 31:39
  and it's the very thing. And I know it's a
• 31:42
  minority of people, but I stood amongst them and tried
• 31:46
  to chronicle what was going on here in Charlottesville. When
• 31:52
  the riots happened in twenty seventeen, you had David Duke
• 31:56
  and his minions marching amongst us, talking about blood and
• 32:02
  soil and all of this, and I said, God, this
• 32:05
  is not America. And you know they were there marching,
• 32:14
  and I just I don't like giving fodder to these folks.
• 32:19
  Laura Lumer is saying that she'll never vote for anyone
• 32:22
  President Trump endorses in twenty twenty six. She's just not
• 32:25
  going to vote. Okay, that's your right, and I'm not
• 32:31
  going to call you out for that. But she's doing
• 32:33
  it because she claims that Katari pilots training in Idaho
• 32:40
  is the establishment of Muslim bases in the country, and
• 32:44
  that she, in her rant, I mean, goes on about
• 32:48
  outlawing Islam in the United States. And I don't know
• 32:53
  where you fit on that. I know that she visits
• 32:57
  the White House regularly and Donald Trump has always considered
• 33:00
  her an advisor. I think the left wing press overplays
• 33:05
  how much she has there, But in this one, I
• 33:09
  can't help but point out that she's wrong. As much
• 33:13
  as I can call out Joe Biden or Anthony Blincoln
• 33:16
  for being wrong, I have to be able to call out,
• 33:22
  supposedly the people on your own team. And as I
• 33:24
  learned in twenty seventeen, Brenda, there are people who will
• 33:28
  try to tell the rest of the world they're on
• 33:30
  your team, often specifically to make your team look bad.
• 33:38
  And I worry about those people a lot. They felt
• 33:42
  like half of twenty seventeen and half of twenty eighteen
• 33:46
  in my life was spent explaining that the quote unite
• 33:50
  the right movement was neither a unifying or the right.
• 33:55
  The phrase I finally settled on, as they could call
• 33:57
  themselves unite the unicorns, doesn't make it any more true
• 34:02
  that too secure these rights governments are instituted among men.
• 34:06
  Polls statewide races always get the attention after a presidential race.
• 34:11
  New Jersey and Virginia flat foot ties in latest polls
• 34:16
  with just weeks to go before election. Today, in Virginia,
• 34:19
  we're already voting. John Reid is running for lieutenant governor
• 34:24
  and is tied with Gazala Hashmi for that position. You
• 34:28
  think the squad is bad, good, morning, John, How are you,
• 34:31
  my friend? Good morning. I'm glad to talk to you.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: I would warn against joining the campaign trail as a
• 34:37
  candidate the ugliness of this man. At some point I'll
• 34:41
  sit down with you and tell you, I mean, it
• 34:42
  has just been brutal and nasty and much worse than
• 34:48
  I ever expected. And you and I both have been
• 34:50
  around politics are our whole lives. And I hate to
• 34:55
  tell you that because I don't want to scare off
• 34:56
  good people who want to do the right thing and
• 34:59
  run for office and represent the people. But we've got
• 35:02
  a real problem in this state with some nasty, horrible
• 35:06
  people who will cut your throat. And it's one reason
• 35:09
  I pray to God I can win, because I got
• 35:11
  to push back against these horrible people.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Well, I think one of the things that your victory
• 35:15
  will prove is that it doesn't work. And as our
• 35:19
  mutual friend Tom Garrett is like to say, why do
• 35:23
  they do it? JT? From behind that giant, crazy mustache
• 35:27
  of his, Why do they do it? JT? Because it works?
• 35:30
  And He's right, they do it because it's easier to
• 35:34
  campaign against something than it is for something. So if
• 35:37
  I say, don't vote for him, he's thus and such.
• 35:41
  It's much easier for me to rile up a crowd
• 35:45
  than they vote for me. And here's all the great
• 35:47
  things I'm going to do. And your campaign has always
• 35:50
  been built on that. So that's one of the aside
• 35:53
  from because keeping Gotzala Hashmi away from any levers of
• 35:57
  power is good by me. I mean, she's dangerous in
• 36:00
  the General Assembly, but Beyondria.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Today is day one eight where she has refused to debate.
• 36:07
  One hundred and eighteen days since she became the nominee,
• 36:11
  and she has refused to do one joint appearance, not
• 36:14
  one debate. The few press conferences that she's had have
• 36:19
  been RSVP only, so her own staff got to pick
• 36:23
  who was in the room. I mean, I don't understand
• 36:25
  why the press in Virginia, which isn't, you know, a
• 36:29
  nothing group, why they are willing to be treated this way?
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: What is up with that? That's crazy? Well, I have
• 36:35
  a feeling we're going to get a bunch of Jake
• 36:37
  Tapper moments afterwards where they try to launder their reputation
• 36:42
  by saying, well, we knew all along, you know, try
• 36:46
  to retell history, John, but talk about debates, you know,
• 36:53
  The immediate reaction of the Winsome Sears Abigail Spanberger debate
• 36:58
  was Oh, gosh, she's being so aggressive. I don't know.
• 37:01
  And I talked to a lot of ladies that are
• 37:04
  friends of mine that were I don't know, but I'll
• 37:07
  tell you something. You know. The base, the Republican base
• 37:11
  was like, finally, and I feel like they're rising to
• 37:15
  the challenge now. After seeing her hold Abigail Spanberger to
• 37:19
  task almost to the point of I thought Spanberger was
• 37:22
  going to blow her top. She was looking so tense
• 37:25
  about trying to control herself, blow.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Her top or have a meltdown, you know, Abigail Spanberger.
• 37:33
  And I think I can say this. You know, I'm
• 37:35
  not a jerk, but she can be. She was really
• 37:40
  horrible when she was running against Dave Bratt for Congress.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: She was my congresswoman for a while.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: And you know, one of the things that I have
• 37:48
  to warn people about is thuggery, people who use awful
• 37:54
  techniques and kind of abusive attitudes in order to get
• 37:58
  what they want.
• 38:02
  Speaker 23: Hi, it's Mark Falter, hosts of The Financial Fitness Show.
• 38:05
  I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
• 38:08
  penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately,
• 38:13
  for most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case.
• 38:16
  Why because most people spend more time planning next weekends
• 38:20
  getaway than trying to ensure they're going to pay less
• 38:23
  than taxes. My financial fitness team has put together some
• 38:26
  materials that I know are going to help you. It's

  Speaker 6: You were strolling along in Goodwill when just past that
• 40:05
  mid century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them
• 40:08
  nestled in their display case, miniature donut earrings. Oh yes, yes,
• 40:16

• 40:20
  made into your favorite form of ear candy. Oh my,

  Speaker 13: Exercise is hard, so was main hating a healthy diet.
• 41:02
  Of course, neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly,
• 41:07
  type two diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a
• 41:10
  million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths
• 41:14
  are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
• 41:18
  healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about
• 41:23
  your risk for type two diabetes and heart disease, and
• 41:26
  if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The
• 41:31
  reason so many die is because not enough are willing
• 41:34
  to change. You can stop it, starting right now. It's

  Speaker 3: I have a cramp?
• 43:16
  Speaker 17: I can probably hit the green from here?
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: Probably?
• 43:23
  Speaker 17: Can I get a Mulligan.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: Ready to go?
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: Hey?
• 43:27
  Speaker 22: Are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 43:30
  Speaker 23: I'm pretty sober.
• 43:32
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab a car
• 43:42
  or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving, A message

• 44:16
  Speaker 2: One hundred to do list. Putting the radio on is
• 44:19
  the first thing today.
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: May for letting us be of service to you. John
• 44:22
  Reid visiting with US. Polls in both New Jersey and
• 44:26
  Virginia have climbed to statistical ties with just weeks to go.
• 44:33
  In Virginia, we are still actually voting. We started voting
• 44:37
  weeks and weeks and weeks ago. What do you as
• 44:41
  somebody who's worked for Ronald Reagan? I mean not at
• 44:44
  Reagan's ranch. No, you worked with Ronald Reagan, sat with
• 44:48
  him and talked with him. And you must have been
• 44:52
  ten at the time, John, because you're so much younger
• 44:54
  than I am. George Allen and all those worked overseas.
• 45:00
  What is your view as to why these polls have
• 45:05
  tightened up? Is it simply the text messages from Jay
• 45:08
  Jones talking about shooting political opponents or what's happening.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: The Democrats are collapsing, and it's because they're wrong on
• 45:16
  the issues. I mean, they're the ones pushing boys and
• 45:19
  girls' sports. They're the ones putting my mother in jeopardy
• 45:23
  when she goes to the spa or goes to the
• 45:27
  doctor's office, and they say that a man can be
• 45:30
  in her bathroom, even if it's some sicko who's been
• 45:34
  arrested a bunch of times.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: For perversion.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is not normal behavior. And they're on
• 45:41
  the wrong side of the issue. They are always for
• 45:44
  hired taxes. They never are really on the side of
• 45:47
  the workers. I think people are beginning to wake up
• 45:49
  to that. And then you get the Jay Jones texts.
• 45:55
  You realize this is the party that is acting in
• 45:59
  a way that motivates the crazies to go out and
• 46:02
  harm other people. We knew that though, you and I did,
• 46:06
  because we talked about it back in twenty twenty. Those
• 46:08
  weren't Republicans who were out in the streets. Nope, you know,
• 46:13
  those were radicals out in the streets pulling down statues,
• 46:18
  you know, not voting, not going to the city council,
• 46:20
  and voting to take statues down, pulling down statues with ropes.
• 46:24
  They were the ones of fire bombing buildings. And then
• 46:27
  they try to come back and act like that wasn't them.
• 46:30
  Hell no, I know exactly who it was. We saw
• 46:32
  it in twenty twenty. You're the ones for motivating the
• 46:36
  political assassination attempts. You're the ones that are motivating people
• 46:40
  to issue threats to try to kill me for running
• 46:44
  for lieutenant govern Excuse me, I kind of take that personally.
• 46:47
  If you disagree with me on public policy, fine, I
• 46:50
  can handle that. But now I've spent the last seven
• 46:53
  months worried about getting a bullet in my head, and
• 46:56
  I resent it. Well, I will tell you I think
• 46:59
  of Virginia are tired of this stuff. They want responsible
• 47:02
  leaders who will disagree appropriately, who will express their opinion
• 47:07
  without tap dancing around it. Let's be candid with each other,
• 47:11
  but won't advance a violent mindset. And the Democrats are
• 47:16
  on the wrong side of everything and it deserves they
• 47:19
  deserve the collapse they're seeing.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: Let me tap into the old broadcaster there, the newsman,
• 47:26
  the lights come on, The anchor says, you know, the
• 47:30
  IFB says ten seconds to air the radio red light
• 47:35
  goes on, John, because I think this is symptomatic of
• 47:39
  a government that has gained and I think Glenn Youngkin
• 47:42
  and win some series have been working in Jason Ars
• 47:44
  about getting rid of these levers of power. I joked
• 47:48
  about letting Gazal Hashmi near the levers of power any
• 47:51
  closer than she is. But Virginia's government holds a lot
• 47:55
  of power. We learned that under Ralph Northam's shutdowns. And
• 48:01
  I think you're seeing this kind of attitude about and
• 48:05
  it goes away if we take that kind of power away,
• 48:08
  because then it doesn't become I have to put two
• 48:11
  bullets in Todd Gilbert's head because we can disagree, but
• 48:16
  at the end of the day, it's just about defending
• 48:18
  people's rights. It's not about trafficking money, trafficking power, trafficking influence.
• 48:25
  And I think that's what feeds some of this am
• 48:27
  I crazy. I think you're correct. There's a great deal
• 48:32
  of authority.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: And if the Democrats get the governors off, because they
• 48:35
  already have the Senate, it's in twenty one to nineteen.
• 48:38
  That's one reason all the people who have told me, oh,
• 48:41
  it doesn't really matter who's lieutenant governor. Are you kidding me?
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: It's twenty one p.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: Nineteen. They're gonna be tiede votes. Do you want Gazala
• 48:49
  hash to me the radical leftist in there casting those
• 48:53
  tide votes, breaking those ties because she's gonna go the
• 48:56
  wrong way and she's going to torpedo Virginia. Plus, I
• 49:00
  got news for you. You're going to have a radical
• 49:02
  leftist as governor in four years because Kazalahshmi is going
• 49:07
  to go get all of her friends from across the country.
• 49:09
  You know there'll be all these stories about the first
• 49:11
  Muslim governor in America. You know she will capitalize on
• 49:16
  that and there will be millions and millions and millions
• 49:19
  of dollars. So the people who blow off the lieutenant
• 49:22
  governor's race, you better be sure that you are prepared
• 49:25
  to accept a radical lady like Kazala Hashmi as governor
• 49:30
  in four years if you don't take steps and go
• 49:34
  vote to stop this craziness now. And you know right
• 49:38
  to work is on the ballot. If we lose right
• 49:41
  to work, all these jobs that Governor Youngkin has brought in,
• 49:44
  Governor Allen, Governor McDonald and all the Governor Gilmour all
• 49:47
  the Republican governors have been very successful at using that
• 49:52
  right to work clause to bring in jobs. That's going
• 49:55
  to go away. Will have abortion tourism in Virginia. That's
• 50:00
  I mean, that's sick to me, but that's what you'll have.
• 50:03
  You'll have Virginia will become a stop on the abortion
• 50:07
  tourism train stop.
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: It's going to become mecca on it. John Reid, ruting
• 50:12
  for Lieutenant governor giving us a look, you know, and
• 50:15
  as you said, you know, if it was somebody like
• 50:18
  Zudi Jasser the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, I wouldn't
• 50:21
  have a problem David Ramadan any of these folks, even
• 50:25
  though he you know, abandoned the Republican Party because he
• 50:29
  is apparently easily manipulated into believing Donald Trump hates Muslims.
• 50:33
  But you know, how can we those with the radios on.
• 50:37
  I know, we've got friends in Hampton Roads who was
• 50:40
  just reading Brenda's email out there spread the word and
• 50:45
  you know, three weeks to go to election day. Well,
• 50:48
  here's one of the things I'm telling people.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: Seriously, if I win, everybody has tried to screw me over. Okay,
• 50:57
  so it's a big stick in the face to a
• 51:01
  lot of the people who have tried to starve me
• 51:03
  of money. I mean, Gazala has got almost five million
• 51:06
  bucks and I've raised over the year, if we're lucky,
• 51:10
  a little over a million total total.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: And I'm and I'm you know, I'm just.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Getting up every morning at four am, and I'm working
• 51:17
  really hard, you know, eighteen nineteen twenty hours a day.
• 51:20
  That's how I hope I'm gonna win. And you know,
• 51:24
  all the political consultants say that's not enough. John, You've
• 51:27
  got to have money. You've got to I guess we're
• 51:28
  gonna find out. But if you if you want to
• 51:31
  stick it to the people who think that money is
• 51:34
  the only thing that matters, send me a you don't
• 51:37
  even have send me a lot.
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: It's John Reid for Virginia r E. I D.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: John Read for Virginia dot com. And then please do
• 51:44
  the old fashioned thing. Talk to the people you go
• 51:46
  to church with, talk to the people you work with,
• 51:49
  and say, I heard this guy on the radio.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: He makes sense.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: He's not reading from a script. He tells us exactly
• 51:56
  what he thinks. I promise you I'm not gonna change
• 52:01
  this is who I am. I've been this way for
• 52:03
  thirty years and people either love it or they hate it,
• 52:05
  and I'm willing.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: To accept be to one.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: Will be a responsible lieutenant governor for you, and I'll
• 52:11
  stand up for your rights even when you disagree with me.
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate it, John, I appreciate your visit for
• 52:17
  our friends in New Jersey. You know, again, a little
• 52:20
  bit different there where it's a ticket. But Jack Chandarelli
• 52:24
  is flat foot tie there with Mikey Cheryl despite her attacks,
• 52:30
  and I think that's blowing back into her face because
• 52:33
  a lot of people are pointing out that the things
• 52:35
  she blamed Channarelli for were things that the Biden administration
• 52:39
  had been looking for. But you have a great morning, John,
• 52:42
  thank you for visiting with us, and we'll get back
• 52:45
  to you after the top of the hour. On this
• 52:48
  first thing today by Joe Thomas on The Talk.

• 52:55
  turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: It was Medichet that came through for us, and there's
• 53:00
  no hassles, there was no problem.

  Speaker 25: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:05
