"You Can't Yell...." (Friday August 29, 2025, Hour 3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:03
Speaker 1: Basically, we don't have homosexuals.
0:06
Speaker 2: Because the first thing today on the Talk media Network
0:11
by Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas and Sherman George.
0:16
Speaker 3: Said, steal me stem day at least for work. When
0:22
the sun comes up, drops a pet of the school.
0:26
Joe has everything, a dreamer, all the needs.
0:31
Speaker 4: No one that Joe zones smiled.
0:34
Speaker 5: He only as.
0:39
Speaker 6: Joe.
0:39
Speaker 7: I'm just saying here all these truths. So the transman
0:51
in Minneapolis wanted Hamas to win. I'm not sure he
0:56
game played that through all the way. Four three four
0:59
eight two four to two one seven is the phone
1:03
number to get with us. You can also email JT
1:06
in the morning radio at gmail dot com. As we
1:10
tell you the news, and then we break down the news,
1:12
and then most importantly, I want to find out how
1:15
the news impacts.
1:16
Speaker 8: Use where you are on your street.
1:20
Speaker 7: Quick news update not necessarily news, but it is for
1:24
me and my family. It's a twenty five year tradition.
1:27
Do we spend our Christmas time and we really don't
1:31
get into the Christmas mood until we see the Trans
1:33
Siberian Orchestra in concert. And it's it's more to me,
1:37
it's personal to me. I've known now Petrelli for years
1:42
and became very close friends with Paul O'Neil.
1:46
Speaker 8: In his time.
1:47
Speaker 7: And they just announced their twenty twenty five tour and
1:51
it's neat they're coming to a bunch of places where
1:55
you're listening to this program, and I've and the idea.
2:01
I've planted the idea that whether it's November sixteenth in Youngstown, Ohio,
2:06
or Colorado Springs or Salt Lake City, Portland, Manchester, New Hampshire, Jacksonville, Florida, Orlando, Tampa,
2:15
New Orleans, Queens, New York, Newark, New Jersey, San Antonio,
2:21
or Minneapolis. God, they need this show in Minneapolis. Maybe
2:25
we'll get some tickets to give away from my friends
2:28
at night Castle and the Trans Siberian Orchestra.
2:32
Speaker 8: And it's a family tradition of mine.
2:35
Speaker 7: I know you may just beginning to know me, but
2:37
every year and my wife just can't get in the
2:40
Christmas spirit without going to see Trans Siberian Orchestra in
2:44
concert somewhere. And we've had the honor of having them
2:49
in our hometown on a few occasions where we got
2:52
to host them and then help them raise tons of money.
2:56
A dollar from every ticket sold, and I believe that
3:00
gets go on sale middle of September, and then once
3:05
the tickets are on sale, a dollar from every ticket
3:08
sold goes to a local charity. So the radio stations
3:12
that promote the shows pick a local charity and a
3:15
dollar from every ticket sold goes to benefit those charities.
3:19
It's been a couple of toy and Christmas themed charities
3:24
for me and my family and my show here in
3:28
Central Virginia. But there's some great ones coming around. So
3:32
stay tuned to this place and maybe you'll find a
3:34
chance for you to join us for the Trans Siberian
3:39
Orchestra in your town.
3:41
Speaker 8: So they go all around the place.
3:43
Speaker 7: And if you've never seen them before and you like
3:47
electric guitar and you've always had those, people say, it's
3:53
the moment the first time I heard TSO and I've
3:57
always loved Al Patrelli and his guitar playing God. Al,
4:01
you're like the guy who helped the guitar grow into its.
4:04
Speaker 8: Stature as an.
4:06
Speaker 7: Instrument on the stage with all the other martial music.
4:10
Speaker 8: It's great, it's like that moment, that transition.
4:14
Speaker 7: Are first things this morning the Shooter in Minneapolis. More
4:20
is coming out about his manifesto pure indiscriminate hate. According
4:26
to Acting US Attorney Joseph Thompson said, the kid Robert
4:31
left behind pages and pages showing hate towards Blacks, Mexicans, Christians,
4:38
and Jews. Thompson said incorrectly. In short, he appeared to
4:42
hate all of us except one community that wasn't on
4:46
that list. The Trump administration has approved eight hundred and
4:50
twenty five million dollars in arm sales to Ukraine that
4:53
will include extended range missiles and related equipment to be
4:58
boost their capability to defend their nation as Russia rained
5:04
down more missiles and drones, striking Kiev, killing at least
5:08
twenty one Yesterday, President Trump announced he will be speaking
5:13
to the UN General Assembly on September twenty third. For
5:18
our friends listening in the New York metropolitan area. He
5:20
arrives on the twenty second, and so beware of the
5:24
gridlock that always grips Manhattan when the President's in town.
5:28
Any President Jim O'Neil, Topy's deputy to Health Secretary Robert F.
5:33
Kennedy Junior, will serve as acting Director of the Centers
5:37
for Disease Control and Infection Kentucky Governor Andy Basher is
5:42
in trouble. He came under fire after workers and his
5:46
transportation cabinet blew the whistle on the fact that not
5:50
only were they giving drivers' licenses to non citizens, they
5:54
were charging two hundred dollars a license for them, and
5:59
that Wrote Island Assistant Attorney General that we played the
6:04
copcam video of saying that I'm an age, I'm an
6:08
age trying to avoid being estured out of a restaurant
6:13
in Rhode Island. Special Assistant Attorney Devin Flanagan thirty four,
6:19
who is the woman in the video, has been put
6:22
on unpaid leave for six months. And those are some
6:25
of our first things this morning the Talk Media Network.
6:29
Speaker 8: First Thing by Joe Thomas.
6:33

7:04
people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
7:07
to look into, and that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
7:10
joining metashare can save you or your family up to
7:13
five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge.
7:15
Speaker 10: But it's also true. People are just happier with it.
7:18
Speaker 9: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes their.

Speaker 14: Exercise is hard, so was maintained A healthy diet. Of course,
10:02
neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
10:08
heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
10:12
Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
10:15
few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
10:21
Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
10:24
diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
10:27
changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
10:32
because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,

13:08
Speaker 2: Sound absolutely question for you from Joe Thomas. It's first
13:15
thing today and.
13:24
Speaker 4: You take.
13:28
Speaker 8: Do you can try?
13:31
Speaker 7: Though, and sometimes it feels like you're bailing against the tide.
13:36
Speaker 8: Does that?
13:37
Speaker 7: Doesn't that tell you? The news will break down the
13:40
news into usually digestible trunks gummies. Yes, we need news gummies.
13:47
So baffled me. We've gotten to a point where everything
13:51
adult human beings need gummies in order to take I
13:55
guess since th HC seems to be the most most
14:00
common form of gummy medicine. I can draw my own conclusions,
14:06
can't you. So while we produce our news gummies for
14:11
you easily digestible, how they're impacting you on your street,
14:18
how the news stories are making you feel and think.
14:23
Difference between a liberal and a conservative is a liberal
14:27
feels and a conservative things. And it's not that we
14:31
don't have feelings. We don't make our determinations off of
14:35
what we feel. We stop until the feelings subside, and
14:39
then we think. A couple of reactions to the back
14:44
and forth I had with doctor Clark earlier over the
14:48
phrase you can't yell fire in a crowded theater, and
14:52
I appreciate these emails and text messages on this because sometimes.
14:56
Speaker 8: It is that little.
14:59
Speaker 7: Little drop that sets people off. Mark writes into JT
15:06
in the Morning Radio at gmail dot com. I had never, ever, ever, ever,
15:10
ever emphasis important, heard anyone rail against that phrase. It
15:16
drives me nuts, and thank you for being the first
15:19
person besides myself who seems to have a problem with
15:23
that statement.
15:25
Speaker 8: Then, from the text line.
15:27
Speaker 7: At four three four eight eight two four two one seven,
15:30
Sharise writes in Joe, I think you overreacted. We can't
15:36
just go around lying about things. And I think that's
15:39
what doctor Clark was saying. Sure, doctor Clark did follow
15:43
up with this, why do we care more about what
15:45
happens in a movie theater than what happens in our nation?
15:50
But I think this one is the key and and
15:53
and really it's it's an embarrassment, Maureen writes in from
16:00
he looks like she's listening up in Lowell, Maureen writes
16:04
in Joe, why when did it become insufficient to just
16:07
say thou shalt not lie? Well, Maureene, you know, and God, it's.
16:14
Speaker 8: Just a it's like a kick in the solar.
16:16
Speaker 7: Plexus, isn't it? Or points near the solar plexus? Because
16:22
she's right, I mean, when did it become insufficient to
16:24
say thou shalt not lie? And by the way, anything
16:28
on this list comes with mortal damnation attached to it,
16:33
I mean, unless you can get forgiveness. This was kind
16:35
of Jesus's point, is that is, once that first lie
16:39
is told, if there's not a if there's not a
16:42
tool kit to get out of that sentence, you're just
16:48
gonna have a whole lot more lying. Because once the
16:50
first one's well, you know, this is some of the
16:53
stuff he learned in the desert with his cousin lou
17:01
So it's it's not insufficient to say thou shalt not lie.
17:07
But ever since the beginnings of indulgences, we're like, well,
17:12
but what if you lie for? And we do we
17:16
This is what we do is we create the the
17:19
extenuating circumstances, don't we? You tell me at four three
17:25
four eight a two four to two one seven. Well, Joe,
17:28
is it always necessary to tell the truth? I bet
17:32
you're the owner of talk media network. Wish this morning
17:35
would be a morning I would have picked to not
17:37
tell you the truth.
17:39
Speaker 8: Just go into the.
17:40
Speaker 7: Narrative, the handwringing, Oh tragedy, here's the phone numbers to
17:45
call for the fundraising, and we can do all that.
17:48
We can do both poor k Nolo's dose. Why can't
17:54
we do both? Why can't both be true? Why can't
17:57
you be compassionate? Remember George W. Bush, looking to distance
18:03
themselves from firebrand radio show hosts like Rush Limbaugh, etc.
18:11
Had his spin doctors create the expression of this was
18:13
a Carl Rove thing compassionate conservatism. Yeah, which gave us
18:19
things like No Child Left Behind, which gave us the
18:29
Patriot Act, compassionate conservatism, and so you know, I'm sure
18:42
they would have loved me to not push the envelope
18:46
on these things because there are people who are saying it,
18:49
and they're being ridiculed and reviled, and the keyboard warriors
18:54
somewhere writing some letter to an affiliate station. You know
18:59
how you were you stop those people from having impact.
19:03
Make sure you tell the sponsors of this program in
19:05
the radio stations you're listening to it on that you
19:09
heard them.
19:11
Speaker 8: And that.
19:17
Speaker 7: You're there because they support the radio station specifically because
19:22
you tell them that Ellen writes in Jack Nicholson's voice,
19:33
you can't.
19:34
Speaker 8: Handle the truth.
19:36
Speaker 7: Well, I mean is that the thing is that the
19:39
problem is that why we as a society invent extenuating circumstances. Well,
19:44
it really would have hurt somebody. The point I made
19:48
earlier today, compassion isn't indulgence. I could make a reasonable
19:57
sociological case as an armchair associationologist just like an armchair
20:03
quarterback is going to start having his day in the sun,
20:06
so that I.
20:07
Speaker 15: Can't believe that guy through that pass.
20:10
Speaker 8: I would have never thrown that pass. Oh, really, did
20:13
you ever play quarterback?
20:14
Speaker 1: No?
20:15
Speaker 7: But I've watched a lot of football. I've watched I've
20:18
watched a lot of life. So if i'm if I'm anything,
20:25
it is an armchair sociologist. And having watched so much
20:30
of this go on, here's here is my point of
20:33
this order, that that we have a society that rather
20:41
than say no.
20:42
Speaker 8: What you're doing is wrong.
20:44
Speaker 7: And maybe it starts when we took the Ten Commandments down,
20:47
but remember taking the Ten Commandments down started as a campaign.
20:52
Somebody had the idea, somebody already was thinking, you know,
20:57
telling kids lying is wrong might be a problem for them.
21:02
I talked to her. Her name is Margaret Downey. Margaret
21:06
Downey was the woman who fought against Judge Moore in
21:10
Alabama over the Ten Commandments. And I had her in
21:13
my studio sitting as close to me as you are
21:16
right now, and I said to her, I said, well,
21:19
let's go through the list of the ten Commandments and
21:21
find the ones that you have a problem with, and
21:23
maybe we can call the Vatican and see if we
21:26
can't have it amended somewhere. And she got all blustery
21:30
and flustery, and she said it was all about sexism,
21:33
was because the women didn't have any rights back. And
21:37
I said to her, and maybe this was that first
21:39
prescient moment I had, That was it. I said, then,
21:42
how come cove it has its own separate commandment? She said,
21:47
what do you mean? Said, well, if women were property,
21:50
you've covered it under thou shalt not steal. I mean,
21:53
if women were really property back, then coveting would be
21:56
an extraneous commandment to violate.
21:59
Speaker 22: Right, Hey, guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League Training for
22:04
Planet Fitness, and the American Heart Association recommends that we
22:07
all get at least one hundred and fifty minutes of
22:10
moderate aerobic activity in a week's time. But here's the
22:13
thing that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need
22:15
to be super intense. As a matter of fact, it
22:17
could just be you moving your body and doing what
22:20
you already love to do, like exercise. And a stronger
22:23
heart doesn't just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing
22:27
your workout routines with strength training as well. So we
22:30
are super excited to be launching our new plateloaded Strength
22:33
series and all of our gems it's already fitted in
22:36
seventeen hundred locations, with the goal to have all twenty
22:39
seven hundred fitted by the end of twenty twenty five.
22:43
So if you need more information, go to our website
22:45
at planetfitness dot com, or better yet, download our free
22:48
Planet Fitness app. And with convenient locations all around the
22:52
world and most of our gyms being open twenty four hours,
22:54
it's bound to be one close by you.
22:56
Speaker 23: For decades, America's offshore oil industry has relied on Portfouschaw
23:00
in Louisiana. But now as Win Energy continues to grow,
23:04
many of these vessels, these companies, these people are building
23:08
and servicing the offshore wind industry, moving equipment, installing turbines,
23:13
transporting crews. It's a huge opportunity and we're proud to
23:16
be a part of that.
23:17
Speaker 24: US Offshore Wind has already announced over twenty five billion
23:20
dollars in infrastructure investments. Learn more at cleanpower dot org,

23:26
Speaker 9: Let's see if something costs less but people are happier
23:29
with it. Maybe you've heard switching to meta share to
23:32
pay for healthcare can save the typical family five hundred
23:35
bucks a month.
23:37

24:08
Speaker 26: Yes?
24:08
Speaker 25: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
24:13
oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
24:18
to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
24:23
By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
24:28
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
24:33
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
24:36
precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
24:40
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
24:42
your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide
24:47

29:35
There has never been more games between top ten opponents
29:38
in an opening weekend than this.
29:41
Speaker 8: Who has the most at stake?
29:42
Speaker 29: Arch Manning Ohio State Miami Go ahead and pick, and
29:46
by the way, you can start to answer questions like
29:50
would you pay six hundred and ninety two dollars to
29:52
go to an Oklahoma press conference. Well that's what they're
29:55
charging fans. You can't ask questions, but you could pay
29:58
nearly seven hundred dollars to go to a press conference and.
30:01
Speaker 8: Watch a coach going, well, we're on to Cincinnati home.
30:04
So I mean, this is.
30:05
Speaker 29: So it's true. They at Oklahoma. They sold out Illinois
30:10
State for an average cost of four hundred and sixty
30:12
one dollars for the tickets. So you know, the press
30:14
conference is there, it's there. I touched on yesterday the
30:18
Cad Club nixt story. Okay, I want to play the
30:21
entire SoundBite when he was asked about it to refresh
30:25
what happened. Somebody on tigernet dot com posted the club
30:28
had gotten a car wreck and hurt his throwing arm
30:31
and throwing shoulder. His mom on the website found out
30:35
about it, called him in tears. Caiden goes what's up,
30:40
and he goes, mom, what's up? He was hanging in
30:42
the apartment.
30:43
Speaker 8: Anyway, he talked to the press.
30:45
Speaker 29: Here's the full twenty four second comment.
30:48
Speaker 30: She you know saw the post that dude or whoever
30:52
posted that was the first thing I heard of it,
30:55
and then the calls and text started coming in. But man,
30:58
just I don't know who it was, but man, just
31:00
shame on them for the pain that they had to
31:02
put people that I love through.
31:03
Speaker 1: So I'm not really interested in talk about it anymore.
31:06
Speaker 30: But you know, it was just it was a messed
31:08
up joke and I'm okay, wow.
31:11
Speaker 8: Well a great last of all time.
31:13
Speaker 2: I'm okay, I'm gonna play.
31:14
Speaker 29: So you know, and if you if you grabbed LSU
31:18
like on yesterday, you know you went to the hard Rock,
31:21
you're canceling your bet. You're you're canceling out at eighteen
31:24
dollars or whatever it is.
31:25
Speaker 8: Yeah.
31:26
Speaker 29: So so with all the talk about all the games,
31:28
you know, the Ohio State Texas game and LSU Clemson
31:31
and Notre Dame Miami and all the big stuff, there's
31:34
two two, there's two must seats for.
31:36
Speaker 8: Me this week Sunday Monday.
31:38
Speaker 29: Now there'll be some good you know, the Calves I'm
31:40
interested in, Chandler Morris, you know, there's a lot of
31:43
that's in my notebook. But the Beamer Bowl. Yeah, the
31:45
Beamer Bowl. Virginia Tech in South Carolina. They used to
31:48
play a lot, right after Frank Beemer arrived in Blacksburg
31:51
and some guy named Bud Foster when they were building
31:53
the Hokies, Tech lost four to five in the series
31:57
at that time twentieth Meeting Sunday. The series had a
32:00
run between eighty six and ninety one. I think they
32:03
played like twenty times. But you can bet and Bred
32:06
Prye has not made a big deal out of it,
32:09
Shane Biemer. They're trying to Frank is going to do
32:11
the prayer in the Virginia Tech locker room, so I
32:15
don't know if he and he's not doing the South
32:16
Carolina locker room. Shane goes, Dad, you can just stay
32:19
over there.
32:20
Speaker 8: I guess. Yeah.
32:21
Speaker 29: Anyway, Shane Biemer said, yeah, this is a big deal.
32:25
Speaker 31: These two teams used to play every year, and my
32:28
dad became the head coach at Virginia Tech in nineteen
32:30
eighty seven and then South Carolina went into the SEC
32:32
and Virginia Tech went into the old Big East Conference.
32:36
Thought then, as a kid growing up, these were two
32:38
teams that needed to play every year, and it's crazy
32:41
that we haven't in so long. But it will be
32:43
exciting to play against a team that we have a
32:45
history with as well and a good football team.
32:47
Speaker 15: Yeah.
32:48
Speaker 8: So it's the a FLAC preseason kickoff. It'll be at
32:50
the Mercedes been Stadium.
32:51
Speaker 29: And again, say what you want about, you know, everything
32:55
that's happening in college football. Before I go to this
32:58
one story about Bill Belichick, I'll shift gears here. Coco
33:01
Goff had a very emotional night last night in her win.
33:07
She lost the first set because she was struggling or
33:09
serve and she went to the sideline and just cried,
33:12
just weeped. And then Coco GoF got it together one
33:14
of the last two sets and battled through and I
33:17
mean she was shaking, you know.
33:19
Speaker 8: So anyway, Goodwin.
33:21
Speaker 7: I worry about you know, you've covered a lot of
33:24
sports Mac in your day, and I worry about some
33:28
of these kids in these sports like tennis and gymnastics.
33:33
You know, I just I watch them and they get
33:35
to a point. I think Serena was like this at
33:38
one point. They reach a point if they're lucky, you know,
33:42
in their early twenties, where you know, something snaps and
33:45
they realize that, you know, it isn't that critical ideal
33:51
that if they missed the floor routine or something, and
33:55
then they go on to happy and probably very productive careers.
33:58
But some of them they don't figure it out until
34:00
they're in their forties and fifties, and they think, my gonsha,
34:03
you know, all these years, I'll tell you what.
34:04
Speaker 29: I'm gonna do for you one day, because Gordy would
34:07
love to do it. Gordi Hirschheiser, who I teach with,
34:09
who's the brother of Oral Hirschheiser, and he is he
34:12
has coached Mannage trained kids at ten, eleven, twelve years old.
34:17
And you talk about dealing with parents, He's got some
34:20
of the greatest stories about parents saying, you know, calling
34:25
Gordy for dinner and then talking about what college would
34:29
be perfect for my son at fourteen and fifteen years old,
34:32
you know. And so the stories of the little league
34:35
parents and the softball parents is said, I'm fascinated. I
34:40
open a cold one for Gordy and I and we
34:42
sit and I'm just amazed at the stories. All of
34:47
the baseball moms, the divorced moms. That's a whole nother book.
34:51
And you know, I tell you all the time, I go, Okay,
34:54
we got to pro we gotta do this book.
34:56
Speaker 8: This would be great, all right, But he a book
34:58
that will be done.
34:59
Speaker 29: I'm going to this story because you're gonna love it
35:02
and you're gonna want to comment. Bill Belichick, of course,
35:04
will coach against TCU Monday night. It'll wrap up the
35:07
college football weekend. Love it, Love every part of it. House,
35:11
carolinea' gonna play well. His company TCE Rights Management LLC,
35:16
managed by his girlfriend Jordan Hudson Right, has filed a
35:20
trademark for the term prep yourself you might want to
35:24
pull over on the side of the road. They have
35:26
filed for a trademark called gold Digger. It'll be jewelry.
35:32
It'll be used on jewelry and teachings, a bid to
35:36
monetize the negative connotations surrounding their relationship. Yes, the application
35:44
is filed by the same company that also filed trademarks
35:47
for the terms like chapel bill and no days off.
35:51
Aims to profit from scrutiny over Hudson's rolling a couple
35:54
of days difference, And of course I would think that
35:56
they will somehow do the AI drawing of them on
35:59
the beach and he's holding her like a cheerleader at
36:02
seventy four years old. So when I saw this story, yesterday,
36:07
I said, I'm just saving it for Friday because Joe.
36:10
I have to see Joe's face because we people probably
36:14
know that we do so, and I can see Joe
36:16
every morning. So look for the gold Digger sign coming
36:20
to jewelry at K's or wherever you.
36:23
Speaker 7: You know, this might surprise you, but you know, habitual users.
36:29
Speaker 8: Of this program may not surprise them. I love that
36:33
is not the best.
36:34
Speaker 7: I love leaning in when people lean into stuff and
36:38
they're like, okay, so you think I'm a gold digger.
36:40
Speaker 8: All right, I'm going to go with it.
36:42
Speaker 7: You're gonna have to pay me twenty bucks every time
36:44
you call me one with a good friend of.
36:46
Speaker 29: Mine in Charlottesville named Chick Thompson who taught me a
36:48
long time ago about being creative.
36:50
Speaker 8: You think the opposite.
36:51
Speaker 29: Jerry Seinfeld had the great one where George had to
36:54
think opposite day and he went up to the girl
36:56
at the who was Michelle Pfeiffer's sister by the way,
37:00
and went up to the counter and said, my name
37:03
is George.
37:04
Speaker 8: I have no job. I'm bald and i have no job.
37:07
And she goes hi thinking the opposite. So anyway, I agree.
37:13
I think when you can be creative.
37:15
Speaker 29: And say, you know, we're just gonna wrap it up
37:17
this way, then yeah, it's gonna go with it.
37:19
Speaker 8: Just like the kid that told me.
37:20
Speaker 29: He goes in true story, he goes, I'm not gonna
37:24
get my assignment in this week Prof. I'm really I'm
37:27
really sorry, but I was stuck in an elevator all weekend. Now,
37:30
if you can come up with that excuse, you can
37:33
probably make it.
37:34
Speaker 8: In the business. Right.
37:36
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's a theme running through this program, Mac, but
37:39
we don't have time to belabor it here.
37:41
Speaker 8: But there's a theme running through this program today.
37:43
Speaker 26: There is.
37:44
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I have a good couple of days.

Speaker 18: Every year more American adults die from vaccine preventable diseases
40:37
and from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or aids. Vaccines like
40:42
the one for new maccle disease can protect adults from
40:44
illnesses that can cause misdays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
40:49
New maccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
40:53
or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
40:57
of an infection that can spread from person to person.
41:00
Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
41:04
I'm doctor Susan Reem of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
41:08
When I speak with my patients, I urge them to
41:10
get all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to
41:14
speak with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.

First Amendment. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of
43:10
the press, freedom to peaceably assemble, freedom to petition the government?
43:14
Which freedom can you live without? Fortunately, the First Amendment
43:19
doesn't make you choose. It protects all five freedoms equally.

good Now, the host of the Good.
44:40
Speaker 8: For America podcast. Good morning, Bob. How are you?
44:43
Speaker 7: We call them Bob and Farmville, just to you know,
44:46
keep us all on the same level.
44:47
Speaker 26: How are you doing, sir, Good morning, Joe doing well?
44:50
Hope you are my.
44:51
Speaker 7: Friend absolutely, you know, heading into a labor day weekend
44:56
and I'm looking around the highways in our neck of
44:59
the woods and things. H have we started taking four
45:02
day weekends?
45:03
Speaker 8: Well?
45:03
Speaker 7: How soon before somebody starts mandating four day weekends for
45:06
these things because it seems like everyone's checked out already.
45:11
Speaker 26: Well some of our European socialist friends that are ahead
45:15
of us on things like three day weekends and four
45:18
day work weeks, and that's obviously what the Democrat Party
45:20
would like to do. Hey Joe, on the subject of labor,
45:23
this just popped in my head. I want to give
45:25
credit and shout out to President Trump for attacking the
45:28
ability of federal unions for those that have a national
45:34
security part of their mission. They're not going to be
45:36
able to collect, to organize or bargain against the American
45:40
tax payer if they have a national security mission. So
45:45
great job by President Trump and announcing that yesterday.
45:48
Speaker 8: It's a nuanced part of it.
45:49
Speaker 7: But it goes back to whether it's apocryphal or not
45:53
that the FDR warning that unlike other labor unions, there's
45:59
the idea that the US government couldn't go out of business,
46:02
so we can just keep asking for.
46:04
Speaker 8: More money, more money, more money.
46:07
Speaker 7: And do less, less, less and less. And we've seen that.
46:10
I think that's a big portion of the budget issues
46:13
you always brought up when you were in the House,
46:15
and I think continue to bomb right.
46:18
Speaker 26: Well, I suppose that's true. If you don't care about
46:21
the inflationary cost, or the affordability cost, or the interest
46:25
rate cost on the American people from just spending and
46:28
printing money, then I suppose FDR might have been true
46:32
to that effect. I think it has been demonstrated by
46:35
unfortunate consequence of history and where we are with the
46:38
consequence of our dad that that is certainly not the case.
46:40
But I don't believe that. I believe that Congress should
46:43
take action to frankly ban unions for federal employees. Generally,
46:49
why should employees be able to negotiate and bargain against
46:53
the American taxpayer. It's a privilege to be a federal employee.
46:57
It's a privilege to work for the government. To have
46:59
this curing and benefits that they have. They sure shouldn't
47:02
be able to, you know, to strike or to take
47:05
other mechanisms to try to hold the timer and tax
47:09
pay over the barrel. And good for President Trump to
47:11
restrict that for at least those that are connected to
47:13
agencies with national security interest.
47:15
Speaker 7: Well, and to pivot to one of the most daunting
47:20
I think in our society labor unions considering their power
47:26
is the teachers union.
47:27
Speaker 8: We just move.
47:28
Speaker 7: We were down at the State Policy Network annual meeting
47:31
with all these policy groups from all the fifty states,
47:34
and to a man, woman and child, they were all
47:37
talking about teachers unions and the dangers of them and
47:42
you know, doing more against them. I think there was
47:44
court ruling, lower court ruling about teachers unions and what
47:49
they can do within schools, restricting management of the schools.
47:54
But that's on the ballot in November here in our
47:58
flagship state of Virginia, Bob, because one of the candidates
48:02
will be all for getting rid of the right to
48:04
work status and ushering in labor unions all across the
48:08
certainly the government spectum in Virginia.
48:12
Speaker 26: Yes, it's good. Labor unions are operating the interests that
48:16
are contrary to the students and the best of the
48:18
students that are operating in the interests of the unions
48:21
for that matter, not even really in the interests of teachers.
48:24
And you just all you had to do was look
48:25
at what happened during COVID and all the actions that
48:27
were taken at the behest of the national teachers Unions
48:30
that were contrary to the best interests of children, but absolutely,
48:33
Abigail Spenberger is anti right to work. She is pro
48:37
union to the extreme. She and all you have to
48:39
do is look at the pro Act HR two that
48:43
she voted for in twenty twenty one. That it would
48:45
have eliminated right to work across the country and would
48:48
have forced unions into every workplace across the country, would
48:52
have forced you to pay union dues and force you
48:55
to join a union irrespective of your views on the subject,
48:58
and would have continued to allow labor units to spend
49:00
your your union dues for political purposes to advance their Democrat, leftist,
49:05
radical Abigail Spenberger agenda.
49:07
Speaker 7: Well, and that's one of the things that people are finding.
49:09
And I think that was the ruling I was trying
49:11
to remember when you said a triggered the memory is
49:14
that now rule you cannot have your union dues used
49:18
for political and they and they get around it with
49:20
the five oh one c fours and the packs and
49:24
and it really is coerced political activity if you look
49:29
at it, even close up, I mean they don't have
49:31
to squint and back up to see it.
49:34
Speaker 26: Bob, Yeah, absolutely, unions have long outlived their usefulness in
49:40
this country. We have labor laws, of course, long held,
49:44
long established labor laws to protect abuse of employees in
49:48
the workplace. And now we have employers that are trying
49:51
to obviously retrain and attract their employees. They want to
49:54
have healthy, happy, productive, satisfied employees that you help help
49:59
them accomplished their mission. There's not us against them mentality
50:02
between management or ownership. UH and the and the rank
50:06
and file employee. They the employees should be incentivized to
50:10
you know, ascend into management, not to look at management
50:12
as the enemy, as the unions would have them do.
50:14
Speaker 8: Yeah, as they always do. UH to that. You know.
50:18
Speaker 7: Another thing that pomped up here is the idea of sanctuary.
50:22
And you have been to the southern border so many times, Bob,
50:26
the idea of you know, looking the other way when
50:30
you know non citizens are involved. We've watched what's happened
50:35
in the first eight months of the Trump administration. Uh
50:39
And and also on the ballot, she said yesterday that
50:43
she'd get rid of the executive order mandating that police
50:47
work with ice when it comes to enforcing citizenship laws.
50:53
Speaker 26: That's consistent with the fact that Abigail Spenberger has was
50:56
all in on the Biden border invasion. She never sent
51:00
against it, she never resisted. As a matter of fact,
51:02
she voted with Biden, Bevelosi and AOC and Maxine Waters
51:06
and Adam Shift during her six years in Congress. She
51:09
was extreme on the border invasion. She wanted to allow
51:12
as many illegals into the country or help them into
51:14
the country as quickly as they could, with no restrictions,
51:17
no vetting. And we're suffering the consequence with the rising
51:21
with the violent crime in our country that President Trump
51:24
is trying to address as he has shut down the border.
51:26
And yes, she wants to make Virginia a sanctuary state
51:30
and to rescind Governor Younkin's efforts to have local law
51:33
enforcement cooperate with federal ice and federal immigration authority.
51:39
Speaker 7: I know that, you know, redistricting as far as Congress
51:42
is concerned has been a hot topic, not so much
51:45
in Virginia.
51:46
Speaker 8: Both candidates at all.
51:47
Speaker 7: I would have to look, you know, they had the
51:50
kind of backdoor answer to it. You had a pretty
51:53
diverse district from a college town all the way to
51:56
some of the reddest parts of the state. What would
51:59
you see do you think Virginia whatever, do the like
52:01
California style redistrict thing.
52:04
Speaker 26: I don't think Virginia will be able to do it
52:07
just because of.
52:09
Speaker 8: Virginia.
52:10
Speaker 26: I'm not a student of the Virginia law on it,
52:12
but I don't think Virginia law permits them to just
52:15
decide to go ahead and just do it at a
52:16
whim like some of these other states do. Every state
52:18
is different, and the Constitution gave the authority to the
52:21
state legislatures to regulate elections, said Congress could override them,
52:26
but it gives the immedia authority to the state legislatures.
52:30
Not hearing any talk about that in Virginia or any
52:32
threats to do so in Virginia. I think the Supreme
52:35
Court United States, when the Bipartisan Commission failed, got it
52:37
pretty did a better job. I think the districts make
52:40
more sense now than they did before they were redrawn
52:43
for the redrawn twenty one. For the twenty two elections.
52:46
Speaker 7: I drew controversy because I said the same things when
52:49
they were drawn.
52:51
Speaker 15: My name is Bobby.
52:52
Speaker 19: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
52:55
Speaker 2: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
52:58
weightlifting champion.
53:00
Speaker 4: I'm Sam I'm a veteran.
53:02
Speaker 3: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
53:04
of and supporting my family.
53:06
Speaker 16: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
53:09
of their lives.
53:10
Speaker 2: I'm a veteran.
53:11
Speaker 8: My victory was going from homeless to all.
53:14
Speaker 16: At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get
53:18
the benefits they've earned.
53:19
Speaker 3: I'm a veteran, and my victory was finishing my education.
53:23
Speaker 16: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support
53:27
for victories great and small.
53:29
Speaker 15: My victory was proving that disability is not a limitation.
53:33
Speaker 14: My victory was getting my service dog and new best friend.
53:36
Speaker 16: We help more than a million veterans every year as
53:38
they face and conquer their challenges.
53:41
Speaker 13: My victory is being able to be there for my family.
53:44
