"Downstream" (FTTxJT Tue 082526 hr4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: We are launching an economic onslaught against Iran's financial connections
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: around the globe.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: This is Independence from Virginia, again, first thing today, by
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: he needs.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: He only aims to please you.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Let me be your judge.
• 0:41
  Speaker 6: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:43
  Speaker 6: this morning.
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: I want to be your judge.
• 0:46
  Speaker 6: What is the voodoo that you do so well? We
• 0:48
  Speaker 6: were talking about this, and I got this email from Frank,
• 0:52
  Speaker 6: who is also listening to us in Portland. Was it Freedom?
• 0:59
  Speaker 6: I don't want to misname, I don't want to deadname
• 1:01
  Speaker 6: somebody up in Portland listening to us on Freedom 970.
• 1:05
  Speaker 6: He said, Joe, isn't this supposed to be a political
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: talk show? I don't want to hear about Hayden Panettiere.
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: But it is, see, that is how the politics happens.
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: And maybe I'm just not doing the best job of
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: connecting you to that point. But this is what Andrew
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: Breitbart understood, is that politics is downstream from culture. And
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: if culture is a population of people who think someone
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: else is going to make everything happen for them, and
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: it breaks my heart that somebody with talent and the
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: ability to tell a story was typecast, if you will,
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: as a child actor and maybe didn't get any roles
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: after that. I hear you. I feel you. I have
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: a ponytail and a goatee and people look at me
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: and say, you don't look like a conservative talk show host.
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: They don't need enough jobs in rock and roll radio.
• 2:06
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: But I feel like it's important that we point to
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: the fact that it's not just about Trump and Chuck
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: Schumer and AOC and Benjamin Netanyahu and Ayatollah Jr. and
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: whatever closet he's hiding in. It starts with a population
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: that feels like somebody else has got the power to
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: screw them over. So they self-medicate. And they self-medicate either
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: with too much food, too much drink, too much drug.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: And then we truly do become a population that needs
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: somebody to do something for us. So it is political. Political.
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: It is political. It's not a dodge to say that
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: this is how the left winds up winning is by saying, see,
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: we could take care of you. We could force people
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: to hire you if you were, you know, so keep
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: people from marginalizing you as an actor or whatever it
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: might be. But that's the end game, because then they
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: control the storytelling. But there were better answers. Anyway, we
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: must get our first things. You heard Scott Besson at
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: the onset of the segment announcing the economic D-Day, talking
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: about the sanctions that any country that trades with Iran
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: will face if they continue to do so, asked why
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: that hadn't already taken effect. Besson said he wants to
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: give countries time to look at the possibilities and make
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: their own choices before being forced into it. Meanwhile, Iran's
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: finance minister, Syed Ali Madanizadeh, got corrected about that, said Tehran,
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: and I probably still didn't get it right, has already
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: prepared a two-year plan to cover their economic affairs. Speaking
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: of economic affairs, 50 House Democrats, who won't tell us
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: the cost of the war on poverty yet, want to
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: know what the cost of the war against Iran is.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: Colorado's Jason Crowe New Hampshire's Maggie Goodlander and California's Derek
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: Tran have demanded transparency from the administration. Meanwhile, the U.S.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: has formally removed Syria from its list of state sponsors
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: of terrorism. They've been there for 47 years. Deadlines to
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: apply for mail-in absentee ballots looming all across the country
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: for the November midterms U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: for the president's administration to continue to restrict access to
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: the U.S. Postal Service for mail-in ballots from states that
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: have not cleared their voter registration data against federal databases
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: to cross-check citizenship and registrations in multiple jurisdictions. California's Supreme
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: Court weighing whether to force Sheriff Chad Bianco to return
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: the 650,000 ballots he seized after accusations of miscounting in
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: the redistricting vote last year. Crews have made progress outside
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: of Reno, Nevada, in the Hawk Fire. They say it's
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: 27% contained, but it has destroyed 30 homes and has
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: displaced 100,000 who have evacuated the scene right now. Ennis
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: Cantor-Freedom and Royce White are two NBA former players who
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: have declared to be drafted in the next WNBA draft. However,
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: a source has leaked to the press that the WNBA
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: has ruled that freedom and white will not be allowed,
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: and they've declared them ineligible. Stay tuned. These are our
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: first things today here on the Talk Media Network. We're
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: going to Shanksville, Pennsylvania in just a couple of weeks'
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: time for the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: America and the place where a bunch of Americans said,
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: not on this plane. And we're going to be bringing
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: you special coverage, probably the 10th, the 11th, 12th. We'll
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: be there for quite a bit of it and special
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: coverage of it brought to you by the Heritage Guide
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: to Historic Sites. Find out more at historicsites.heritage.org. Know before
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: you go. And Big Ridge Guns and Archery, bigridgegunsandarchery at bigridgeguns.com.
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: See something, do something. And our friends at jcsgold.com say
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: gold is down about $ 11 since yesterday, $ 4, 641 trading now.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: And silver is down a little bit, a couple of
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: cents to $ 68. 09.
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: was no hassles.
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: There was no problem.
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: of such an incredible ministry.
• 7:18
  Speaker 9: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: share each other's medical expenses.
• 7:23
  Speaker 10: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 7:28
  Speaker 10: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old,
• 7:35
  Speaker 9: and members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
• 7:38
  Speaker 9: medical bills.
• 7:39
  Speaker 11: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: You can focus on supporting other people.
• 7:44
  Speaker 12: Metashare is affordable.
• 7:45
  Speaker 13: Metashare is biblical.
• 7:47
  Speaker 14: Metashare is family.

• 8:04
  Speaker 13: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:08
  Speaker 13: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 13: I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:19
  Speaker 13: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:23
  Speaker 13: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:27
  Speaker 13: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 13: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 13: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
• 8:44
  Speaker 13: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 8:46
  Speaker 13: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy
• 8:52
  Speaker 13: cells even from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to
• 8:57
  Speaker 13: look good, feel good, and enjoy total wellness.

  Speaker 15: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:06
  Speaker 15: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:11
  Speaker 15: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:14
  Speaker 15: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:17
  Speaker 15: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:22
  Speaker 15: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:26
  Speaker 15: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:30
  Speaker 15: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:34
  Speaker 15: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:38
  Speaker 15: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:43
  Speaker 15: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:47
  Speaker 15: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:54
  Speaker 15: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: Hi, everybody.
• 10:00
  Speaker 16: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:02
  Speaker 16: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:05
  Speaker 16: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:07
  Speaker 16: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:09
  Speaker 16: birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:13
  Speaker 16: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:16
  Speaker 16: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:18
  Speaker 16: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 16: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:24
  Speaker 16: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:27
  Speaker 16: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:31
  Speaker 16: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
• 10:34
  Speaker 16: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:37
  Speaker 16: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 16: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 16: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:45
  Speaker 16: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:48
  Speaker 16: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:51
  Speaker 16: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:54
  Speaker 16: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 11:00
  Speaker 14: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:02
  Speaker 17: Oh, yeah?
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: And now a speech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 18: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 16: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:20
  Speaker 14: Love that guy.
• 11:21
  Speaker 19: Me too.
• 11:22
  Speaker 10: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:24
  Speaker 10: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:29
  Speaker 19: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:32
  Speaker 19: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:36
  Speaker 19: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:40
  Speaker 19: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:43
  Speaker 19: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
• 11:47
  Speaker 19: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:52
  Speaker 19: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors.
• 11:55
  Speaker 19: Check ducts for holes and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:59
  Speaker 19: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:01
  Speaker 19: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:05
  Speaker 19: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:08
  Speaker 19: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 19: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:15
  Speaker 19: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18

• 12:28
  Speaker 19: protection agency.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: at MakeTheConnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.

  Speaker 2: From the home of the First Amendment, First Thing Today.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: this morning, 434- 434-882-4217. And I'm going to say, and
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: I knew this when I was 25, but I knew
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: that I felt like there was something I should be doing.
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: I was running a restaurant. I was miserable. I was
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: drinking too much. I was eating badly. I was living badly.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: I mean, there are parts of my 23rd and 24th
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: year that I cannot recall. If I ran into somebody,
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: I remember the people, but they say, hey, remember that
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: August night? No, honestly, I don't. And I'm not shy
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: to tell you that. But then it hit me after
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: I was chasing what I thought I should have been
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: chasing and it became unreal for me that I probably
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: need to rethink what it is I wanted to do.
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: I had quit the employ of the last Burger King
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: franchisee in the New York metropolitan area. I had no
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: place else to go for that kind of work. I
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: had tried selling vacuum cleaners. And so there I was
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: sitting in a Burger King dining room where Lucky Lindbergh
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: took off, by the way, at Roosevelt Field. Lindbergh could
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: have walked there himself. It wasn't the food court at
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: the time. And I'm thinking, okay, dumbass, what do you
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: do now? And I said, didn't you always like doing
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: stories and TV and radio. And didn't.
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: Mr.
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: Friedman tell you to do radio instead of television? Well,
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: let me try that. And so the point I was
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: making about culturally, we've allowed a society of people like
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: Billy Joel singing, they're waiting for somebody to tell us
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: what to do. And this is exactly what the Marxist
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: wants us to be, is that person who says, hey,
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: This seems like a lucrative career. How many people right now,
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: how many 40-year-olds and 50-year-olds have still paying their college
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: loans back because they were told, get some master's of
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: business administration degree and you're going to make tons of money?
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: And now they're a middle manager, maybe a teller at
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: a bank with an MBA because it's the best business
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: adjunct job they can get. We'll get back to Tom
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: dropping bombs in a moment. He had to go reload
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: his site. I want to ask him about this Iran thing,
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: but let me get to Joel, who is hanging on
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: the line with us at 434-882-4217. How are you doing
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: this morning, sir? Good morning, Joe.
• 15:58
  Speaker 20: I'm doing okay.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: Hang on one second. I apparently didn't have you in
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: the system there, so that is my fault. That's not
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: your fault. You couldn't have done that for yourself, but
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: I appreciate it. So what's on your mind?
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 16:14
  Speaker 20: Well, I just wanted to say this. These negotiations and
• 16:19
  Speaker 20: everything behind the scenes, there's 53, 54 Muslim nations, right?
• 16:25
  Speaker 20: You have Britain, Great Britain, or England. You have Germany.
• 16:30
  Speaker 20: You have Austria. You have Sweden. You have other countries
• 16:34
  Speaker 20: that are kind of being overwhelmed and Islamified, and we
• 16:39
  Speaker 20: have parts of America that's happening too, but The bottom
• 16:43
  Speaker 20: line is, negotiating with Pakistan, which is a nuclear power,
• 16:49
  Speaker 20: they harbored Osama bin Laden. They have different groups in there,
• 16:55
  Speaker 20: and Afghanistan's at the border, and Syria, they just gave
• 17:00
  Speaker 20: up the terrorist list. But the leader was actually an
• 17:06
  Speaker 20: ISIS leader, too.
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 20: You know, we talk about the Bible, we talk about
• 17:11
  Speaker 20: the 12 apostles, and there were murders and thieves of them.
• 17:14
  Speaker 20: But I'm not comparing the ISIS leader to any of that.
• 17:18
  Speaker 20: But President Trump has a hard way of negotiating. He's
• 17:21
  Speaker 20: battling the Democrats. He's battling internal forces within his own party.
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: Well, that's why I thought it was funny, you know,
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: after sending Jared Kushner to deal with Hamas and sending
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: Jared Kushner to deal with Iran. Then he sits him
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: down with Hakeem Jeffries. I'm like, well, there you go.
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: Now he's finished the Troika here. But, you know, you
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: bring up a couple of things, and here is where, again, Breitbart,
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: Andrew Breitbart, was so brilliant and damned the people who
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: did him in. I agree. And I know, and some
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: of them are still out there on the stage, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: some of them, you know, I just... Anyway, the people
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: who stole his magazine from him, his news site from him,
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: and did him in for it, that his point about
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: culture or politics being downstream from culture, and until the
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: conservatives realize that, we're going to continue to struggle politically.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: Because culturally, if you feel bereft of purpose, if you
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: feel bereft of of even anyone having any inkling of
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: care about you, you're going to fall prey to people
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: who will come in to manipulate you. Think about, I mean,
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: you talk about Muslim, these imams that they come in,
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: but this was going on in the 60s as well.
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: We were encouraging folks, imams going into prisons to sit
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: down with the black community and say, listen, There's a
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: better way, a way of peace, a way of that.
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: And the black theology, the Muslim Brotherhood, a lot of
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: that got its roots back in the 60s under Malcolm
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: X because we didn't realize that it says in their text,
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: lie to the infidel. He's the infidel. Why should you
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: care if you tell the truth to him? Biblically, we're
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: told to tell the truth even to Lucifer himself because
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: telling the truth is more important than beating Lucifer. Because
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: if you keep telling the truth, you have, in fact,
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: beaten Lucifer. But putting the theology down for a moment,
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: the issue is that we have allowed culturally this vacuum,
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: this faith, this terrorist mentality. ideology, this radicalist ideology, there
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: really is Marxism just wrapped in different raiments, has been
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: able to sneak into our hearts because we've been waiting
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: for somebody to tell us what we're supposed to be doing.
• 20:06
  Speaker 20: Well, what I'm saying is as far as negotiating A
• 20:11
  Speaker 20: lot of these other leaders that have been in positions
• 20:15
  Speaker 20: that presidents have avoided it because they're calling them enemies. Well, okay,
• 20:21
  Speaker 20: how do you sit down and at least negotiate? Well,
• 20:24
  Speaker 20: he's exposing all these other countries, even European countries, that
• 20:29
  Speaker 20: don't want to support their own security, that don't want
• 20:32
  Speaker 20: to have actual open communication and try to talk and
• 20:37
  Speaker 20: be normal, have normal conversations. So he's trying to legitimize
• 20:43
  Speaker 20: communication again, whether he's bombastic about it or not.
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: But you hear it in the contrarians. They're like, he's
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: talking to North Korea. Well, of course they exist. They exist.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: To ignore them is stupid. But we were told that
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: Joe Biden was the adult and he understood world issues.
• 21:00
  Speaker 20: Trump doesn't ignore people.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: Iran and hadn't been ignoring Iran. He understands. But you
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: know what must rankle the people like the Bushies and
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: the Cheneys is this is what George Bush told us
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: he was going to do in 2002 when he declared
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: war on terrorism. He said, we're going to go find
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: the state sponsors of terrorism. This is what Trump's doing,
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: you know, 25 years later. And I think that's what's
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: got him so mad. Last thought, Joel.
• 21:33
  Speaker 20: Well, the point was July 13th, 2024, when he stood
• 21:39
  Speaker 20: up after being shot, almost killed, and everybody else was
• 21:42
  Speaker 20: still naysaying.
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: Of course, that's what they have to do because it's
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: not about that to them. It's about winning political arguments.

  Speaker 22: have an evacuation plan mapped out in advance. know where
• 23:26
  Speaker 22: you're going to go, and how you're going to get there. Next,
• 23:30
  Speaker 22: put together a pet emergency kit with several days food, medicine,

  Speaker 13: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 13: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:13
  Speaker 13: I'm Dr.
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 13: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:20
  Speaker 13: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:24
  Speaker 13: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:29
  Speaker 13: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:33
  Speaker 13: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 13: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 24:44
  Speaker 13: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 24:47
  Speaker 13: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah?
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: And now a speech.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: Heart and brain.
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: Who's with me?
• 26:09
  Speaker 9: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 26:11
  Speaker 12: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 26:14
  Speaker 12: somebody call me a ride.
• 26:15
  Speaker 14: Love that guy.
• 26:17
  Speaker 19: Me too.
• 26:17
  Speaker 10: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 26:20
  Speaker 10: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 26:24
  Speaker 19: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 26:26
  Speaker 19: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:30
  Speaker 19: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills too.
• 26:35
  Speaker 19: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:37
  Speaker 19: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
• 26:41
  Speaker 19: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 26:47
  Speaker 19: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 26:50
  Speaker 19: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 26:54
  Speaker 19: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 26:56
  Speaker 19: new appliance. Look for the ENERGY STAR logo and read
• 26:59
  Speaker 19: the ENERGY GUIDE label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 27:03
  Speaker 19: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 27:06
  Speaker 19: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in
• 27:09
  Speaker 19: use and keep air filters clean. For more tips on

  Speaker 2: Here at First Thing Today by Joe Thomas.
• 28:17
  Speaker 21: Word to your moms, I came to drop bombs. I
• 28:19
  Speaker 21: got more rhymes than the Bible's got songs.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: And just like the prodigal.
• 28:22
  Speaker 11: Son, I've returned.
• 28:23
  Speaker 16: I came to get down.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: I came to get down.
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: So get out your seat and jump around.
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: Jump around. Jump around. Tom drops bombs on YouTube and
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: then Facebook. He's got Delegate Tom Garrett. So many social
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: media platforms.
• 28:36
  Speaker 10: X.com.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: As well, Delegate Tom Garrett there. Tom, I want to pivot.
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: Thank you for talking kind of the essence of left v.
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: But now I want to ask you about Economic D-Day.
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: You've been over there as special guest of Al Jazeera,
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: talking about the American side. What about this idea of
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: Economic D-Day? And do you think it'll have the desired
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: effect against Iran?
• 29:06
  Speaker 23: So, I spent 12 days doing commentary with a prominent
• 29:11
  Speaker 23: Middle Eastern network not long ago. I know this issue
• 29:14
  Speaker 23: very well. I worked on the JCPOA. I used to
• 29:16
  Speaker 23: call it JCPOA. Under the Trump administration back in 17
• 29:21
  Speaker 23: on the Foreign Affairs Committee, the Iranians have four things
• 29:24
  Speaker 23: going for them. The Iranians have four things going for them.
• 29:27
  Speaker 23: They've got an incredible willingness to let their own population
• 29:30
  Speaker 23: suffer because the people calling the shots aren't the ones
• 29:32
  Speaker 23: doing the suffering, and they just don't care about their people.
• 29:35
  Speaker 23: The second thing they have is they have an incredible
• 29:37
  Speaker 23: willingness to strike out at their name. which is unparalleled
• 29:41
  Speaker 23: in modern history. There are fewer Arab states that haven't
• 29:44
  Speaker 23: been attacked by Iran in the last six months than
• 29:46
  Speaker 23: there are that have. By a significant margin, it's.
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: About two to one.
• 29:49
  Speaker 23: So they will hurt people around them with impunity. That's
• 29:53
  Speaker 23: thing two that they have going for them, the mullahs
• 29:55
  Speaker 23: and the IRGC. The third thing they have going for
• 29:58
  Speaker 23: them is an uncanny ability to tell the most mind-numbing
• 30:02
  Speaker 23: lies and a complicit international media because they lean left
• 30:05
  Speaker 23: and anything that hurts Trump, they think helps them. The
• 30:08
  Speaker 23: enemy of my enemy is my friend.
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: That's thing three.
• 30:10
  Speaker 23: And the geography of the story of the four moose, right?
• 30:13
  Speaker 23: We can do something about the first three. But there
• 30:17
  Speaker 23: needs to ultimately be regime change in Iran, which I
• 30:19
  Speaker 23: don't like saying because we eight of the last 25 years.
• 30:25
  Speaker 23: And so that regime change in Iran must be led
• 30:28
  Speaker 23: by Iranians. Now, they murdered probably they murdered probably 45
• 30:33
  Speaker 23: or 50,000 of their own population this calendar year. Numbers
• 30:38
  Speaker 23: vary from the acknowledged 4,000 or so that the regime
• 30:41
  Speaker 23: admits that they killed because they were terrorists, according to
• 30:43
  Speaker 23: the regime, all the way up to the mid-50,000s if
• 30:47
  Speaker 23: you look at dissident and exile groups. But let's take
• 30:52
  Speaker 23: a 90-million-person population and then 50,000 and then make it
• 30:57
  Speaker 23: an American-sized population.
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: That would be the equivalent of the U.S.
• 31:00
  Speaker 23: Government systemically murdering a fifth of a million Americans in
• 31:04
  Speaker 23: six months.
• 31:05
  Speaker 10: Geez.
• 31:05
  Speaker 23: When you have a revolution, you need leaders, right? You
• 31:08
  Speaker 23: need people who will stand up and walk into that
• 31:11
  Speaker 23: hail of bullets, literally and metaphorically. And they called the
• 31:15
  Speaker 23: leaders in January and February before this thing kicked off.
• 31:18
  Speaker 23: So all the Patrick Henry's and all the Paul Revere's
• 31:22
  Speaker 23: and all the John Hancock's were murdered by their government
• 31:26
  Speaker 23: this year. And we're wondering why they're not mobilizing.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: And then Trump.
• 31:31
  Speaker 23: Sort of got on the Kurds because we were trying
• 31:33
  Speaker 23: to filter weapons in, which actually helped a lot with
• 31:35
  Speaker 23: that because there's not a group of Kurds. There are
• 31:38
  Speaker 23: multiple groups of Kurds with divergent interests based on geography
• 31:42
  Speaker 23: and political affiliation.
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: And they said, well, they took the weapons. I don't
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: blame them. I mean, it's a rough neighborhood, right?
• 31:49
  Speaker 23: So they didn't take them, not the youth, and they
• 31:53
  Speaker 23: just decided they were going to use them when they
• 31:54
  Speaker 23: wanted to.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: But I think the.
• 31:56
  Speaker 23: Economic pressure is designed to create a suffering, unfortunately, with
• 32:01
  Speaker 23: a non-lethal suffering amongst the population that might motivate that
• 32:05
  Speaker 23: next generation of Patrick Henrys or John Hancocks or whomever. But,
• 32:10
  Speaker 23: I mean, again, just imagine that 200,000 Americans had been
• 32:14
  Speaker 23: murdered this year by our government. And then ask yourself
• 32:17
  Speaker 23: how many people will be showing up at the protest.
• 32:19
  Speaker 23: So that's what's going on over there.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: I know somebody is in the midst of writing a
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: September 11th text to me right now because haters got
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: to hate. But, Tom, so you think the economic pressure,
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: the one side of the economic pressure, though, The Soviet
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: Union fell under our economic pressure because we had things
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: like Voice of America. Is the American message getting to
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: the Iranian population the same way that rock and roll
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: was getting into the Soviet Union?
• 32:50
  Speaker 23: Yeah, they blacked out the Internet for three of the
• 32:53
  Speaker 23: last six months.
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: It's been off.
• 32:55
  Speaker 23: Don't quote me on numbers, but I'm in the ballpark.
• 32:58
  Speaker 23: Elon is enabling Starlink over Iran. I know the Iranians
• 33:03
  Speaker 23: attend it, but that's a wonderful thing. The Iranians know
• 33:07
  Speaker 23: their regime lies, but it's very difficult to get the truth.
• 33:12
  Speaker 23: And they'll jail you and kill you for doing stuff
• 33:14
  Speaker 23: like trying to figure out what the news is saying.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 33:17
  Speaker 23: You know, extreme right-leaning States like France, right? I mean,
• 33:20
  Speaker 23: it's not even American stuff that'll get you in trouble
• 33:22
  Speaker 23: over there.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: It's so there is no FOIA there.
• 33:26
  Speaker 23: This is the same reason we started trying to focus
• 33:29
  Speaker 23: on messaging and social media this year.
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: You, you won't get.
• 33:32
  Speaker 23: Hearts and minds until you get eyes and ears. So
• 33:34
  Speaker 23: there's just a lot. And here's the end game for the,
• 33:36
  Speaker 23: for the IRGC.
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: You're not dumb.
• 33:38
  Speaker 23: They're evil. The two are not mutually exclusive, but they
• 33:41
  Speaker 23: don't guarantee one another either.
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: Um, they won.
• 33:51
  Speaker 23: And so that's the thing, is that they don't care
• 33:53
  Speaker 23: how much their people suffer between now and the beginning
• 33:55
  Speaker 23: of November. If gas prices are high and the midterms
• 33:59
  Speaker 23: are lost by the Republican Party, the next two years
• 34:01
  Speaker 23: will be spent with impeachment hearings and all sorts of trumped-up,
• 34:06
  Speaker 23: unintended stuff that half the country wants to believe, right?
• 34:10
  Speaker 23: So it'll be true to them. But yeah, I mean, look, dude,
• 34:15
  Speaker 23: None of this matters, and yet it matters so much.
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: And I mean that in the metaphysical, right? I mean,
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: I'm doing everything I.
• 34:21
  Speaker 23: Can do to make the world and tomorrow the best
• 34:23
  Speaker 23: I can, understanding that I'm not even here for here.
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: I'm here for there. So I'm afraid to fail.
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: Well, that's the way you got to do it, Tom.
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: We got to run Tom Drops Bombs on YouTube, Delegate
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: Tom Garrett on Facebook, and Lord knows wherever else you
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: find them. If there's an OnlyFans page, don't tell me
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: about it. But, Tom, you have a great morning, sir.
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: I feel sorry for your bride right now. God bless you, Joe.

  Speaker 23: A bunch of machine guns, go to Delegate Tom Garrett
• 34:53
  Speaker 23: on Facebook.
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: I remember the first time I fired a. 50 cal. Like, oh,
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: this is too good. The secret is the scope and
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: the care of the weapon, too, as well. Citing there,
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: Tom has told me I shoot like a girl, as
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: in I listen to instructions and I do what I'm told.
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: So I'm not sure what that means, guys. But maybe
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: holding your Glock sideways isn't how it's supposed to be done.
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: I don't think that was a training manual. I don't
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: think Grand Theft Auto was a training video, just saying.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: So onwards into, I've just received so many texts. This
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: one from Bob in Esmond, Virginia, sent me this whole
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: piece about Gramsci's cultural politics about the hegemony. And he
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: talks about the dominant group makes its own worldview look
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: like common sense to everyone else. People accept the social
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: order as natural instead of questioning it, the role in
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: civil society. But here's the thing, and this is where
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: the United States and our founding was different. See, the
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: Enlightenment thinkers were saw the individual as being able to
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: create their own, quote, groups. And there wasn't going to
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: be a dominant group because nobody had the authority to
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: tell you what you could do or what you couldn't
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: do as long as it didn't impact you, your neighbor.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: So if you wanted to drink moonshine every night, Until
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: it infects your work, it's not going to affect anyone else.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: If it infects your work, then you're going to lose
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: your job. And then you turn to the state. You say, well,
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: the state needs to support me because I have this problem.
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: And this is the point I've made about how we
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: allow this stuff to happen. If we are ever going
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: to retake the management of this here particular dairy barn,
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: we need to remember that our name is on the deed.
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: I was asked if I worked for Thomas Media. I said,
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: you sent me the email to Joe Thomas. And like, oh, yes,
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: I work here. I am here. I am the here.
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: And that's not ego. That is understanding what you do
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: and your role and what it is you're good at doing.
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: And then you don't have this idea. And I find
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: it funny that this Marxist hated the fascist. Of course,
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: because the fascist was commanding everything. The Marxist realized as
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: long as the fascist was around, His idea of democratic
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: fascism was never going to take hold, but you need
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: one to create the next.
• 38:02

• 40:06
  Speaker 18: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 40:09
  Speaker 18: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:14
  Speaker 17: Oh, yes!

• 40:58
  Speaker 11: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 11: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:09
  Speaker 11: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:13
  Speaker 11: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:16
  Speaker 11: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:22
  Speaker 11: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 11: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  Speaker 11: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:33
  Speaker 11: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:37
  Speaker 11: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.

  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,

• 44:32
  Speaker 2: We could tell you what 6-7 means. Where's the fun
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: in that? First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: Talk Media Network.
• 44:39
  Speaker 16: If you think about it, what Lenin did or.
• 44:44
  Speaker 19: What Marx did was create democratic fascism.
• 45:04
  Speaker 6: Understanding that democracy from the moment the Greeks inflicted it
• 45:08
  Speaker 6: upon themselves to their demise is the way that mob
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: rule puts a smiley face on things. And so, you know,
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: while you had Mussolini and Hitler and all these folks
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: being fascists with tanks and machine guns, Marx was realizing
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: that it's much easier to do it at a ballot
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: box than Ask Fidel Castro. Ask Vladimir Putin. Marxism at
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: the ballot box is the smiling face of it. Let
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: me get to so many texts and emails in here.
• 45:45
  Speaker 6: Let me get this one. Interesting phrase. They don't speak
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: to the young. I've pondered how some young people seem
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: to appreciate listening to older people and perhaps those folks
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: are old souls. Therefore, These young folks are less inclined
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: to be progressive. You see, and here's the thing. And
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: I don't think enough people realize this, especially in this
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: day and age of so much... I mean, paper is
• 46:17
  Speaker 6: cheap now. I mean that to say we can all
• 46:22
  Speaker 6: have a pamphlet. We can all be Thomas Paine if
• 46:25
  Speaker 6: we want to. But here's the thing is there's a
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: point in communication... where you have to realize that the
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: message is only a small part of it. Yes, it's
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: the first part that you need to have as a message,
• 46:41
  Speaker 6: but you have to understand who the audience is and
• 46:44
  Speaker 6: not necessarily tailor it for the audience, but understand what
• 46:48
  Speaker 6: is it the audience is interested in. If they're 22
• 46:53
  Speaker 6: years old and they can't find a good paying job,
• 46:56
  Speaker 6: that's going to be where they're joining you. They're joining
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: you at that point in their life. So if you
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: make sure your message is talking to the person who's
• 47:06
  Speaker 6: having a tough time finding a job, you will get
• 47:10
  Speaker 6: their eyes and ears. So it's not about old young,
• 47:16
  Speaker 6: because I think young people, just like women, are less
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: likely to listen to other women in media. They're just not.
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: And that's not sexist. That's research. Women don't like the
• 47:34
  Speaker 6: tone of other women's voices. I mean, this is focus
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: groups sitting in a room, you know, reading the same
• 47:41
  Speaker 6: weather forecast. Which one did you prefer? Well, the guy.
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: I don't know why. The female voice tonality is so
• 47:50
  Speaker 6: much better than the males. It cuts through clutter. We
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: hear it better. It works at a frequency. It's just
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: a better voice. And it's not something I can get
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: just by saying, I want to be a female announcer.
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: You're not going to get it. I don't care how
• 48:10
  Speaker 6: much surgery they do to my neck. I've got to
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: wind up sounding like this, which isn't good for anybody.
• 48:21
  Speaker 6: Joe in Crozet, listening to us on 101.1 FM, our
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: affiliate out of Charlottesville in Crozet, Joe, it's a damn
• 48:29
  Speaker 6: good thing we figured out how to make fire. If
• 48:32
  Speaker 6: we had not, most of us would not be here.
• 48:34
  Speaker 6: We would have froze to death during the Ice Age
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: or starved to death. Remember, fire also gave us the
• 48:41
  Speaker 6: opportunity to cook, therefore cure, therefore smoke meat so that
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: our hunts lasted longer, fed more people. Fire also gave
• 48:54
  Speaker 6: us the opportunity to create fertility. where fertility hadn't existed,
• 48:58
  Speaker 6: burn the wood around, it creates a certain amount of
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: acidity for the soil to grow. Some of the first
• 49:08
  Speaker 6: fertilizer came from fire. He's hearkening back to a story
• 49:14
  Speaker 6: I told that is indicative to what the radicals within
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: the green movement, these are the useful souls that the
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: profiteers are using to make money for themselves, the people
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: who actually believe that fire is the worst thing that
• 49:29
  Speaker 6: ever happened to the planet, that mankind being able to
• 49:33
  Speaker 6: harness fire It was the worst ever because now we
• 49:38
  Speaker 6: have become what we were never genetically intended to be,
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: which is the apex predator. That argument falls short when
• 49:46
  Speaker 6: you point out intellect. We have the ability to reason.
• 49:52
  Speaker 6: We have the ability to create tactic. And yes, there
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: are herds of some animals that will show tactical abilities
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: to a degree, but until the lion figures out the
• 50:08
  Speaker 6: tactic and then that's out the window and they can't
• 50:10
  Speaker 6: think of a new one. This one, Susan writes in,
• 50:17
  Speaker 6: if you teach your child to be independent, they will
• 50:20
  Speaker 6: never be controlled by anyone.
• 50:22
  Speaker 7: Amen.
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: Susan, you are absolutely 100% correct in that. The most
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: important thing you can teach your child is to think independently,
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: to ask the questions. people who have had dinner with
• 50:37
  Speaker 6: my family say, God, Joe, your kids are brutal to you. Well, yeah,
• 50:41
  Speaker 6: that's the way I want it. I don't want my
• 50:43
  Speaker 6: daughter or either of my sons just accepting the stuff
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: that comes out of my mouth as gospel. I want
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: them to challenge me on it. I don't know what
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: made me think of this, except for the fact of
• 50:56
  Speaker 6: young people and old people arguing. There's a wonderful video.
• 51:00
  Speaker 6: It was a documentary about I believe it was about
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: this ultra-conservative biblical school in Israel somewhere. And I wouldn't
• 51:15
  Speaker 6: say Jerusalem, but they teach the Bible by arguing about
• 51:21
  Speaker 6: the Bible, the Old Testament. And the young scholars will
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: sit there with the professors. And this is almost what
• 51:31
  Speaker 6: Thomas Jefferson had in mind when he set up the
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: University of Virginia, that he wanted the professors and the
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: students interacting with one another, questioning. So students would say,
• 51:43
  Speaker 6: the thing you said about Marxism, and questioning those dogmas.
• 51:49
  Speaker 6: But I was watching this video, and it's just fascinating.
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: These young people, and it's all in Hebrew, so I
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: didn't understand, but there was an ardence, a passion, and
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: the young people pounding the book and saying, no, this
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: is what I believe in. This is what this says.
• 52:04
  Speaker 6: And the older guy's kind of sitting there waiting until
• 52:06
  Speaker 6: he yells himself out. And then he goes, no. And
• 52:09
  Speaker 6: then he turns the book around and says this and
• 52:11
  Speaker 6: this and this and this. And if the young person
• 52:14
  Speaker 6: still has rejoinder, that's good. Nobody is punished for having
• 52:18
  Speaker 6: a rejoinder or a counter discussion. It was how the
• 52:23
  Speaker 6: Old Testament was being taught, was through arguing about it. Oh,
• 52:28
  Speaker 6: it was brilliant. Just absolutely flipping brilliant. But that does
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: it for us at this point in time. We will
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: reconvene when 5 Eastern Daylight Time hits the shores of
• 52:41
  Speaker 6: Tomorrow morning, I am Joe Thomas. This is the Talk
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: Media Network. Until that time, so long, and thanks for
• 52:48
  Speaker 6: all the fish.
