"Lectures From the Shoe Closet" (Monday September 8, 2025, Hour 1) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Very fine people on both sides.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Amaze your friends here in the first Thing Today by
• 0:08
  Joe Thomas. I like this guy, but your words at steal.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Men have a day at least for work.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: When the sun comes up, drops a pet of the scood.
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: Joys all the Joss.
• 0:26
  Speaker 5: No wonder.
• 0:26
  Speaker 6: Joe's as smile, he only eggs.
• 0:33
  Speaker 7: Joe here hold these truths. Joe, thank you for letting
• 0:39
  me be of service to you. You know the gig
• 0:41
  I tell you the news, will even break the news
• 0:44
  down into easily digestible gummies. But mostly I want to
• 0:48
  hear how the news of the day is impacting you
• 0:52
  where you are on this Monday morning. I learned a
• 0:55
  life lesson over the weekend, and it's just proof that
• 0:57
  no matter how many miles on the odometer you have,
• 1:00
  you're always you should anyway, always be open to life lessons.
• 1:05
  So my wife and I were in we have this
• 1:08
  Coleman pool in our backyard, and I say that because
• 1:12
  you sound really snobbish. You were like, well, from over
• 1:16
  the pool, it's one of these and they're neat. I mean,
• 1:18
  I had never seen this. You know where it's a
• 1:21
  metal frame. You get the metal frame and you basically
• 1:24
  hang a canvas bag in it and fill it up
• 1:26
  with the water. So we're hanging out in that uh
• 1:31
  and I it was a couple of hornets going around
• 1:33
  and I swatted at one and it got down, fell
• 1:36
  in the water, and I made some sort of comment,
• 1:39
  I'll teach you for messing with the wrong guy. Well,
• 1:42
  it caught its wings and flew up under my arm,
• 1:46
  and and all of a sudden, I just feel fire
• 1:51
  as it exacted its revenge against the smart ass that
• 1:54
  smacked it into the chlorinated water, and holy cow, my
• 1:58
  entire arm, the upper part of it is swollen, and
• 2:02
  all the joints in my hand.
• 2:04
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 2:04
  Speaker 7: Luckily for me, I'm right handed, which you know is
• 2:09
  the problem because it was on my right arm that
• 2:11
  did it. Mostly lucky for me, I don't have to
• 2:14
  do anything that requires my kung fu grip.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: There.
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: The grip I need is between the ears. And so
• 2:21
  far it hasn't affected, hasn't affected, hasn't affected, hasn't affected.
• 2:26
  That this horrific story out of Charlotte is finally Sunday night,
• 2:35
  finally starting to get some traction. I can't believe this
• 2:39
  story happened as long ago as it did, and the
• 2:42
  Charlotte's Charlotte Transit Authority was able to cover it up
• 2:47
  for as long. Horrific stabbing by a guy who was
• 2:52
  maybe just be the poster child for the hug and
• 2:54
  release programs of American cities. We'll get into that and
• 2:58
  so much more for you on this Monday morning, but
• 3:02
  we must lay out the news are first things this
• 3:05
  Monday morning. Responding to criticism that he's going at war
• 3:10
  with Chicago, President Trump Sunday denied the reports he's threatening to.
• 3:16
  He said, We're not going to war. We're going to
• 3:18
  clean up the city. We're going to clean them up.
• 3:21
  We don't so that they don't wind up with five
• 3:24
  dead people every weekend. That's not war, that's common sense.
• 3:29
  He also, on the tarmac with reporters after coming back
• 3:32
  from the US Open defended Robert F. Kennedy Junior, said
• 3:36
  he didn't always agree with all of his decisions. He said, quote,
• 3:39
  he's a different kind of guy. He's got a lot
• 3:41
  of good ideas, but he's also got a lot of ideas.
• 3:45
  He said, he's also ready to move on to the
• 3:47
  second stage of sanctioning Russia because of their continued bombardment
• 3:53
  of Ukraine. He said he's ramping up sanctions against Moscow
• 3:58
  or its oil purchasers. The administration plans to target more
• 4:03
  businesses for immigration enforcement violations after the raid on the
• 4:08
  Hyundai and LG facility in Georgia led to hundreds of arrests.
• 4:13
  Tom Homan, head of the ICE and Border Guards, said
• 4:18
  no one hires an illegal alien out of the goodness
• 4:21
  of their heart. They hire them because they can work harder,
• 4:24
  pay them less, undercut the competition that hires US citizens
• 4:28
  as their employees. Meanwhile, South Korea's foreign minister will come
• 4:33
  to the United States today to help secure the return
• 4:36
  of those hundreds of Korean nationals who were detained in Georgia.
• 4:41
  Four hundred and seventy five people, more than three hundred
• 4:43
  of them are South Korean nationals who were illegally working
• 4:48
  in the battery plant. President Trump said Sunday that individual
• 4:52
  European leaders will be coming to the United States today
• 4:55
  and tomorrow to resolve or to come up with a
• 4:58
  plan to resolve the U Russia Ukrainian War. After weeks
• 5:03
  of mostly negative news and commentary regarding the National Guard
• 5:07
  deployment in Washington, d C. A poll surprisingly to no
• 5:10
  one says that fifty seven percent of Americans oppose using
• 5:15
  the National Guard. In Washington, d C. President Trump attended
• 5:19
  the US Open Sunday and was met with a smattering
• 5:23
  of some cheers and some boos from a mostly empty
• 5:27
  stadium because there was a long line to get through
• 5:30
  the heightened security because of the President's visit. Maryland Governor
• 5:35
  Wes Moore was on NBC's Meet the Press and was
• 5:38
  pressed if he was running for president. He said he
• 5:43
  is looking forward to being re elected governor in twenty
• 5:45
  twenty six, and then when pressed, Moore said, I'm going
• 5:48
  to be serving a full term. I'm excited about re election.
• 5:52
  I'm excited of what we're going to be able to do.
• 5:54
  And a California woman is facing felony charges after illegally
• 5:58
  registering and then her dog to vote in at least
• 6:02
  one election.
• 6:07
  Speaker 9: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co host of Foster and
• 6:10
  Friends and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought
• 6:13
  the fame lunch Fail to our team, it symbolized teamwork.
• 6:16
  The word win stood for what's important. Now, the Lunch
• 6:20

• 7:01
  Speaker 10: You know, a lot of times you have to choose
• 7:03
  between something high quality or something that saves you money.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: But what if you could get both?
• 7:08
  Speaker 10: Why not, especially when it comes to healthcare, and that
• 7:11
  is meta share.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: You get both.
• 7:13
  Speaker 10: Many families save five hundred bucks a month with meta
• 7:17
  share and that's huge. But it's also true that people
• 7:19
  wind up way more satisfied too, and we know this
• 7:21
  from research of members. There's a lot they like about Medicare,
• 7:25
  but especially they love being part of something they believe in,
• 7:29
  and Medashare works too. It has for more than thirty years.

  Speaker 11: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  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 12: Hi, everybody, I'm Jack Hannah. 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.
• 10:34
  Speaker 13: Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans,
• 10:37
  some of whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics,
• 10:40
  alerting them when there's a change in their blood chemistry.
• 10:43
  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.

  Speaker 14: Bruh, that's buzzed.

  Speaker 15: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 16: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  art and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 14: Who's with me? Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed,
• 11:15
  and my brain is saying when it's time to go home, somebody.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 17: Love that guy, me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 18: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
• 11:23
  it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

• 12:32
  first to notice when a veteran you love has been

  Speaker 2: The first thing today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk
• 13:15
  Media Network, All natural and free of artificial intelligences, seam.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: We're not going to war.
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: We're going to clean up our city.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: We're going to clean them up so they don't kill
• 13:46
  five people every weekend. That's not war, that's common sense.
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: As the President yesterday on this way to the US Open,
• 13:55
  you know what's impressive with that. So so he's walking
• 13:58
  out of the White House ready to go to Marine one,
• 14:02
  and you know, you hear a lot about you know,
• 14:05
  his bombass with the reporters and fake news, and they
• 14:08
  go back to the very beginning of.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: That how job.
• 14:14
  Speaker 21: When you say that, Joy's sake, listen, be quiet, listen,
• 14:20
  you don't listen, You never listening.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: That's why you're second ray.
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: Now if you're you can't see the video because this
• 14:27
  is radio. But he's staring right into her eyes. This
• 14:33
  isn't one of those where he's twenty feet away making
• 14:36
  a He is twelve inches maximum from the reporter, looking
• 14:42
  her right in the eyes, right in the face. And
• 14:45
  I think this is one of the things that infuriates
• 14:48
  the press is there's no intimidation factor in the president.
• 14:54
  But again, this is all based on a tweet. He
• 14:57
  made a graphic of a police officer standing in front
• 15:01
  of a burning city and regarding, you know, coming to
• 15:05
  save Chicago, and.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: We're not going to war.
• 15:08
  Speaker 12: We're going to clean up our city.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: We're going to clean them up so they.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: Don't kill five people every weekend. That's not war, that's
• 15:14
  common sense.
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: Kareem rights into four three four eight eight two four
• 15:20
  two one seven should remind you. That's the number text
• 15:24
  messages as well as phone calls either or I know
• 15:28
  how mornings are Chicago, Kareem Rights, Chicago can clean themselves,
• 15:34
  give them back their guns and train them to shoot.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Farward.
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: That to Governor Princeker please, you know. And Chicago is
• 15:42
  one of the most gun restrictive places outside of Washington,
• 15:47
  d C. Where your ability to defend yourself has been
• 15:52
  stepped in front of by the government who says, don't worry,
• 15:55
  we'll take care of it. And the sad thing about Chicago,
• 15:59
  given their history with guys like al Capone.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Is they believe it.
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: They believe that the government can take care of them
• 16:08
  and protect them faster than you can say, elliot ness, no,
• 16:12
  you can when seconds matter, and I mean this sincerely,
• 16:17
  and this is from law enforcement officers have told me
• 16:22
  that when seconds matter, they are at best minutes away
• 16:26
  because they can't be everywhere. We don't have that kind
• 16:30
  of state, We don't have that kind of government that
• 16:34
  allows there to be a police officer patrolling every corner
• 16:39
  like they do in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, because you
• 16:43
  know they and they're soldiers. You think National Guard, No, no, no, no,
• 16:53
  police are on patrol. And if you're blessed to be
• 16:56
  lucky enough to be in a place where they happen
• 16:59
  to be at that moment, sure they'll be there in seconds.
• 17:04
  But in most cases, the call's got to go out,
• 17:07
  then the call's got to be received, then the call's
• 17:10
  got to be acknowledged, and then the police officers need
• 17:12
  to high tail it to wherever the call is saying
• 17:14
  there's trouble. It's a lot of time for trouble to happen.
• 17:18
  Look at what happened on the Charlotte light rail on
• 17:23
  August twenty second. You want to talk about an operation,
• 17:29
  a city clamping down on something. And it wasn't until
• 17:36
  friends of the young lady who was murdered in insaneness
• 17:44
  on the Chicago train while she rode the subway home
• 17:48
  or the light rail, whatever they call it in Charlotte,
• 17:52
  Kay just gets up and starts stabbing her in the neck.
• 17:59
  And I won't even begin to start talking about the
• 18:01
  folks who are sitting in the seat across the aisle
• 18:04
  from her, who just sat there, because at some point
• 18:09
  you have to accept a that there's immense fear of
• 18:15
  some insane person just stabbing somebody with what I imagined
• 18:18
  was a screwdriver. You can't really tell from the surveillance
• 18:21
  photo Arena Zarutska it's a Ukrainian refugee. The murderer who's
• 18:37
  blessedly in custody to Carlos Brown, has been in and
• 18:43
  out of jail in Charlotte for more than ten years,
• 18:48
  fell any larceny, robbery with a dangerous weapon, making threats
• 18:53
  against other citizens. Members of Charlotte City Council expressed concern
• 19:05
  about her murder and violence in the city's transit system.
• 19:09
  This isn't about the transit system but the police. You know,
• 19:12
  they'll make it out to be. This is about somebody
• 19:15
  who is seriously troubled, who repeatedly said either a I
• 19:25
  have a real tenuous grasp on reality or I have
• 19:31
  a real strong grasp on I don't give a crap
• 19:34
  about anyone else. Apparently a Charlotte Hornets fan as well,
• 19:45
  because he's got a big tattoo and is just under
• 19:48
  his Adam's Apple of a Charlotte Hornet's logo. Wonder how
• 19:53
  they feel about that. I know how I felt when
• 19:57
  a guy was purp walked out of a bar wearing
• 20:00
  one the radio station I was working at, teacher, I'm like,
• 20:03
  oh no, and then we had to we had hell
• 20:05
  to pay over that. You can hear the video footage
• 20:14
  shows the guy looking over her shoulder as she's text messaging. Now,
• 20:21
  I don't know if that's what triggered this guy or
• 20:24
  his last good marble just fell out or he didn't
• 20:28
  like skinny white girls. But the amount of times that
• 20:36
  this fellow had been in custody of the Charlotte Police
• 20:40
  Department and their hug and release programs. City councilors are
• 20:49
  expressing concern, where's the where's the district attorney? Where this
• 20:59
  fellow has been in and out of jail and out
• 21:02
  on bail and who knows how many times there was
• 21:05
  an opportunity at first? And understand this sounds crass, you know,
• 21:10
  and like I'm just being one of those guys. But
• 21:14
  the first time he offended, we were told that our
• 21:21
  penal system is supposed to be rehabilitative. We're told that
• 21:27
  our jails are supposed to be places to get healed,
• 21:32
  not just drop people and leave them. Well, where was
• 21:37
  that effort with this fellow, and if he was supposed
• 21:44
  to be in the story? I mean, like I said,
• 21:46
  this is August twenty second when this happened. Just offensive
• 21:50
  to me that the city could sit on this. And
• 21:52
  it wasn't until the girl's friends said, hey, do you
• 21:55
  know what happened to this girl? That the videos started
• 21:58
  to surface fromgo or.
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: Charlotte business owners, are you paying high phone bills for

  Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
• 23:11
  better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
• 23:16
  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,
• 23:31
  and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Can focus more on patients.
• 23:36
  Speaker 16: But, as with any new technology, always keep a human
• 23:41
  in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare. AI
• 23:45
  is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for your

  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 Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:41
  cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer and
• 24:45
  in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

  healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

  Speaker 14: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my

  call me a ride.

  Speaker 15: Love that guy, me too.

• 26:25
  costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
• 26:29
  good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
• 26:34
  One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 26:36
  energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 26:40
  learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
• 26:43
  That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
• 26:47
  leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
• 26:50
  improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
• 26:54
  when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
• 26:57
  energy Star logo and read the Energy Guide labor and
• 27:00
  there are day to day things you can do. Lower
• 27:03
  your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
• 27:06
  close fireplace stampers when they're not in use, and keep

  Speaker 2: In the First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the
• 28:15
  Talk Media Network, take.
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: So Jasmine Crockett over at the end of last week
• 28:31
  on her podcast called Grounded. Perhaps that's because it's what
• 28:37
  her dad told her.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: She is now I don't know.
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: Said quote there is a direct link between poverty and
• 28:44
  susceptibility to having to engage in certain things. This sounds
• 28:53
  like Ilhan Omar saying that on September eleventh, two thousand
• 28:57
  and one, some people did some things, there are crimes
• 29:04
  that are committed. Crockett went on from what appears to
• 29:07
  be her shoe closet. By the way, Jazz, I know
• 29:14
  you're a big fan, so I'm just saying this to
• 29:17
  you as a kindred soul. And by that I mean
• 29:23
  you with blood that I presume is red just like mine.
• 29:28
  I mean you might be a reptilian. I don't know
• 29:31
  at this hour of the morning. Who can tell, but Jazz,
• 29:36
  if you're going to do a podcast.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: About poverty from the inside of your shoe closet, I.
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: Mean, today's Emmelda Marco's award winner is Jasmine Crockett, congresswoman
• 29:59
  from Austin Tech. I mean, dude, can you pick a
• 30:03
  different spot than your shoe closet with what I can do?
• 30:08
  Just in the camera shot, there's five shelves full of shoes. Now,
• 30:16
  before you call and start yelling at me saying you
• 30:18
  don't understand, Joe.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: You're a guy.
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: I am married to a woman, and yes, the woman
• 30:24
  I'm married to has multiple pairs of shoes, But my
• 30:28
  wife is also not hosting a podcast about poverty.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: I'm just sorry.
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: You know, if Donald Trump did some podcast about poverty
• 30:42
  while eating with gold gilded forks off of a silver platter,
• 30:49
  eating your prime rib being served to him by a butler.
• 30:53
  I would call him out for being just a little
• 30:55
  bit tone deaf as well. But please, Jack says, God
• 31:00
  is my witness, don't do a podcast about poverty from
• 31:06
  inside of your shoe closet. Melda Marcos is spinning in
• 31:14
  her grave. Jasmine lost her district. She's probably teasing an
• 31:19
  only Fans career soon. Yike's tough crowd.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: I tell you a tough crowd out there on the
• 31:26
  tweets four three.
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: Four eight eight two four two one seven if if
• 31:31
  you're like me and willfully ignorant of what only fans mean,
• 31:37
  Every four or five years, the Internet it reinvents its
• 31:41
  ability to be, you know, like a porn magazine. And
• 31:47
  that's that's now. What only fans apparently is is a page,
• 31:51
  you know, where you go for dirty pictures of people.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: The only dirty picture I know of Jasmine Crockett is
• 31:59
  her brain scan. But seriously so, her point, albeit very
• 32:09
  seriously distracted because she made it from inside for shoe closet.
• 32:15
  Her point about poverty causing crime. So this is the
• 32:22
  root of the Progressive prosecutor movement. It's a concept that
• 32:30
  came up, unsurprisingly in the sixties called survival crime, where
• 32:38
  you shouldn't arrest the guy for shoplifting because he's poor
• 32:42
  and doesn't have the flat screen TV scene taking out
• 32:47
  of the front of a storefront window during some mostly
• 32:51
  peaceful protest down the street. Looting is understandable because looting
• 32:59
  happens in poor neighborhoods and people need five or six
• 33:02
  pairs of nikes to sell. On Etsy Dallas, she cites
• 33:13
  Dallas County District Attorney John Cruzotte or cruiseau Cluse, who
• 33:20
  who indicated that his office would avoid prosecuting low level
• 33:24
  theft cases involving necessities like food, diaper, or baby formula,
• 33:29
  which of course you used to make drugs with. Crockett
• 33:34
  defended the approach, although she did say Cruiseae probably should
• 33:40
  not have said it out loud, meaning that she's at
• 33:45
  least grasped that you shouldn't say, we're not arresting people
• 33:48
  for stealing stuff from you. This is what happened in
• 33:51
  San Francisco, you know it, Ksfo. This is how you
• 33:55
  wound up, albeit still a Democrat, a much more lawn order,
• 34:00
  oriented district attorney, even the mayor again not denying that
• 34:06
  they're still Democrats, baby steps, but they the city finally
• 34:17
  said enough is too much. We need somebody who's going
• 34:21
  to do something about this. Businesses were leaving because they couldn't.
• 34:26
  There's really here's the Lieutenant governor of the Commonwealth of
• 34:30
  Virginia responding to her opponents, saying that the first thing
• 34:36
  she was going to do when elected to office was
• 34:41
  going to rescind Governor Youenkin's order to cooperate with Immigrations
• 34:49
  and Customs enforcements.
• 34:50
  Speaker 24: Without safety and security, businesses aren't going to come because
• 34:53
  their inventories aren't safe, and our children aren't safe. They
• 34:57
  can't walk the streets. So our first job is necessarily
• 35:00
  to concentrate on that. And that's why we're not going
• 35:02
  to be a sanctuary city for criminals.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: We're legally here now.
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: The current governor, who's term limited out, Glenn Youngkin, said this,
• 35:10
  and the minute she has to say things, people recognize
• 35:13
  who she is. Just like this, Oh, chief's out of
• 35:15
  context there, boys. He's talking about a former congresswoman and
• 35:20
  CIA case officer, Abigail Spanberger and her attempts to brand
• 35:26
  herself as a moderate.
• 35:29
  Speaker 25: Being portrayed as a moderate, and the presents herself packaged
• 35:33
  as a moderate because she hasn't said anything yet, and
• 35:35
  the minute she has to say things, people recognize who
• 35:38
  she is, just like this most recent comment, whereas the
• 35:41
  first thing she's going to do on the job is
• 35:42
  undo my executive order to collaborate with the federal government
• 35:46
  in order to put bad guys behind bars.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: And you say, well, you know he's poor.
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: Well, we have four times as many people living under
• 35:58
  the poverty line as we did at the very beginning
• 36:01
  of the Great Society, that great society that was supposed
• 36:07
  to guarantee all of us prosperity. No, not freedom and prosperity,
• 36:12
  but equity and inclusion. Sixty years sixty years since LBJ
• 36:23
  said this, far in your time, we have the opportunity
• 36:29
  to move not only towards the rich.
• 36:30
  Speaker 12: Society and the powerful society, but upward to the Great Society.
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: See what he should have said is away from the
• 36:39
  rich society and powerful society to the great society, meaning
• 36:44
  we're all greatly poor. The Great Society rests on abundance
• 36:49
  and liberty for all, and in nobody at the time
• 36:53
  except for Barry Goldwater called him out as a Marxist,
• 37:00
  called him out for that. That very premise drove Ronald
• 37:04
  Reagan out of the Democratic Party. And since then, since then,
• 37:09
  by a percentage of population, we have four times as
• 37:14
  many people living below the poverty level as we did
• 37:18
  at that moment, four times. And then we have the
• 37:23
  district attorneys who say it's a survival crime. Is that
• 37:27
  what happened on the Charlotte light rail train was that
• 37:30
  a survival crime? Was he just mad that the Ukrainian
• 37:33
  refugee had a smartphone and he didn't. Was he mad
• 37:38
  because she had a job at a pizza place and
• 37:40
  he didn't, Or was he just mad because the justice
• 37:47
  system failed at the first inkling of him being a
• 37:51
  problem in society, not trying to get him the help
• 37:54
  that they claim is what our judicial system is supposed
• 37:58
  to be set.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Up to do.
• 38:01
  Speaker 15: According to a new report from Discovery Education, ninety two
• 38:04
  percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
• 38:08
  and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
• 38:11
  critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
• 38:15
  but gaps remain about how to achieve measure and sustain
• 38:18
  student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
• 38:22
  students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
• 38:26
  forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
• 38:28
  principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
• 38:33
  the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
• 38:37
  said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
• 38:44
  assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
• 38:48
  students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
• 38:52
  yet fewer than half of teachers report using AI themselves
• 38:55
  to complete tasks. Visit Discovery Education dot com to learn

  be depressed. We have so many people who can't see
• 44:40
  a fat man standing beside a thin one without coming
• 44:42
  to the conclusion the fat man got that way by
• 44:44
  taking advantage of the thin one. So they're going to
• 44:47
  solve all the problems of human misery through government and
• 44:50
  government planning. Well, now we've government planning and welfare had
• 44:55
  the answer, and they've had almost thirty years of it.
• 44:58
  Shouldn't we expect government to read the score to us
• 45:01
  once in a while. Shouldn't they be telling us about
• 45:04
  the decline each year in the number of people needing help?
• 45:07
  The reduction in the need for public housing. But the
• 45:10
  reverse is true. Each year the need grows greater, the
• 45:13
  program grows greater. We were told four years ago that
• 45:17
  seventeen million people went to bed hungry each night. Well,
• 45:20
  that was probably true, they were all on a diet.
• 45:24
  But now we're told that nine point three million families
• 45:27
  in this country are poverty stricken on the basis of
• 45:29
  earning less than three thousand dollars a year. Welfare spending
• 45:33
  ten times greater than it was in the dark depths
• 45:35
  of the depression. We're spending forty five billion dollars on welfare. Now,
• 45:41
  do a little arithmetic and you'll find that if we
• 45:43
  divided the forty five billion dollars up equally among those
• 45:46
  nine million poor families, we'd be able to give each
• 45:48
  family forty six hundred dollars a year. And this, added
• 45:52
  to their present income, should eliminate poverty.
• 45:57
  Speaker 7: For your dancing and dining pleasure. That also a speech
• 46:00
  given sixty years ago. The time for choosing it was
• 46:04
  a Goldwater campaign event, Ronald Reagan announcing that he had
• 46:08
  left the Democratic Party, where he had won the gubernatorial
• 46:11
  race in California, and was now going to support Barry Goldwater, who,
• 46:16
  by the way, my son was sharing with me. Somebody
• 46:18
  did one of these internet based surveys and it said
• 46:22
  who would you vote for in these bunch of presidential races?
• 46:25
  And it went back through time a couple of interesting ones,
• 46:29
  and it's more of a thought piece on how history
• 46:32
  regards people. The Bull Moose Party, Teddy Roosevelt would have
• 46:36
  won instead of losing. Woodrow Wilson would have lost his
• 46:41
  presidential run. Barry Goldwater would have beaten LBJ in nineteen
• 46:48
  sixty four. Some interesting points in that. But I did
• 46:54
  that arithmetic just last year, maybe it was two years ago.
• 46:58
  I did the very same arithmetic. I went to the
• 47:00
  federal budget, found out what they were spending on welfare programs,
• 47:05
  and divided it by the number of Americans that live
• 47:08
  below the poverty level. And you know what, the arithmetic
• 47:12
  pencils out just like it did in nineteen sixty four.
• 47:15
  If we just took the money and sent it to
• 47:17
  the poor people, they wouldn't be poor people anymore. But
• 47:21
  then again, we'd have a bunch of unemployed bureaucrats there.
• 47:24
  But Jasmine Crockett from her palatial shoe closet is telling
• 47:28
  us that you should allow people to steal things because
• 47:32
  they're poor. Doctor Clark on the line with us at
• 47:35
  four three four eight eight two four two one seven
• 47:38
  to presume that's what it sounded like when I gave
• 47:40
  him a quick hey I got and doctor Clark, am
• 47:43
  I correct?
• 47:43
  Speaker 9: Is that you?
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: It's me?
• 47:47
  Speaker 7: At least you know that not everyone seems to know
• 47:50
  who they are these days. But what's on your mind?
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: I'm quite sure of who I am. Well, you know
• 47:57
  talking about you did the arithmetic, Joe, which you didn't
• 48:01
  add in was administrative profits.
• 48:04
  Speaker 7: Oh sure, no, I understand that.
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: I know that's where that comes in. Now, Joe, how
• 48:11
  many people listening got the kung fu grip reference? How
• 48:15
  many people know that the unpopularity of the Vietnam War
• 48:19
  Cosmattel to change GI Joe from a military guide to
• 48:24
  an adventurer, and he had to have a kung fu grip.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's true.
• 48:30
  Speaker 7: G I Joe did stop being a soldier for a
• 48:32
  very very long time. I think Juck Norris brought him back.
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: But here's the thing I think it was. Joel Hodgson
• 48:40
  said about MST three K. Not everybody will get it,
• 48:44
  but the right people will get it. So there's that, Joe.
• 48:51
  We got to figure out how to petition the government
• 48:54
  for a grant for well, I guess that's the heart
• 49:00
  a tracker sitting on a tracker. Okay, this weekend a
• 49:06
  lot of time to threak. I think with just several
• 49:11
  million dollars worth of government funding, we could conclusively prove
• 49:18
  that COVID boosters caused trunk arrangement syndrome.
• 49:22
  Speaker 7: Joe, Oh, you want to connect tds to the boosters.
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: Yes, the more jabs people have had, the more tds they.
• 49:33
  Speaker 7: Have interesting, interesting then, you know, And here's the scientific method.
• 49:38
  In my mind, though socratically, I have to ask, then,
• 49:41
  where did the tds come from before the COVID jabs existed?
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: Commye ajut prop. It's a, it's a. It's a. It's
• 49:52
  a commensal relationship. Without the commye ajut prop, the JAB
• 49:58
  probably would not cause the TDS.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: Well, it's it's you know.
• 50:02
  Speaker 7: Think about this right, here's here's your response to that.
• 50:05
  Blood clots causing massive coronary failure existed before the COVID jabs.
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: Too much higher incidents. So yeah, I'm quite sure Joe,
• 50:17
  that we can settle the science way much more than
• 50:22
  CO two causes global warming house.
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: I don't know if we want to use that comparison,
• 50:28
  doctor Garxon, that one's kind of out the window too.
• 50:30
  But I get your I get your point on that.
• 50:34
  But yeah, there's got to be a medical reason for
• 50:37
  Trump arrangement syndrome. I think it's more likely the fact
• 50:42
  that brother just don't give a crap, and people don't
• 50:45
  like people who don't care what they think. I mean,
• 50:48
  you know, I I care what people think, and I
• 50:50
  think Donald Trump does. It's not going to impact them
• 50:53
  so seriously as people would like it to.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: And and this is the.
• 50:58
  Speaker 7: TDS is really to me an offshoot of our siloing
• 51:02
  in social media, where we all want to become an influencer.
• 51:06
  We all insist that everything we say has to get
• 51:09
  a thumbs up or a smiley face, and that if
• 51:12
  you disagree with me, then I can unfriend you and
• 51:15
  kick you off the island. That's really I think the
• 51:19
  societal roots of trumped arrangement syndrome.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: Don't you.
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: Probably so hey, quick question? You know there was a
• 51:32
  veterinarian that had been an Auburn University, probably the premier
• 51:39
  small room and a veterinarian in the southeast. Okay at
• 51:42
  one time, okay, she had retired and was stabbed to
• 51:48
  death in a dog park just outside of Auburn. And
• 51:57
  this first you've heard about it. Who determines what gets
• 52:03
  in the news and what does how come one vital
• 52:08
  stabbing is national news and another just another statistic?
• 52:17
  Speaker 21: Why?
• 52:18
  Speaker 7: Well you know, are you talking about the North Carolina
• 52:21
  subway stabbing, the Charlotte light rail stabbing? And when did
• 52:24
  this Auburn stabbing take place?
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: I want to say Friday or Saturday that discovered the body?
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, yeah, I did not know.
• 52:34
  Speaker 7: It starts with what do the police report? And like
• 52:37
  I said, in North Carolina And we only have ten
• 52:39
  seconds left here, so I'm going to try to stick
• 52:42
  the landing doctor Clark in North Carolina. It only came
• 52:44
  to light when friends of the victims started to make
• 52:48
  a ruckus about it.
• 52:51
