"Mandating is Wrong....no, the Other Kind" (Friday October 3, 2025, Hour 1) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I've always felt the.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Nine most terrifying words in the English language.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Are making mornings great again. First thing today on the
• 0:11
  Talk Media Network by Joe Jalas.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Stewart said, steal me. I'm from the government and I'm
• 0:19
  here to help the work.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: When the sun comes up, drops a pet.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: You were clarifying all theses needs.
• 0:30
  Speaker 5: The one that Joe's as smiled he on the eggs.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Bless you for basking in the modulation goodness, whether it
• 0:43
  be amplitude, frequency, or whatever the hell it is that
• 0:46
  modulates when you listen online wherever you are. I appreciate
• 0:51
  it taking me along with you, and to be of service.
• 0:54
  We tell you the news, we'll tell you what we
• 0:57
  think of the news and how we analyze it, tea
• 1:00
  leaves we're reading, and then most importantly, I want to
• 1:03
  hear how it is impacting you where you are by
• 1:07
  text message or phone call to four three four eight
• 1:10
  eight two four to two one seven. Bob in Oregon
• 1:15
  already sent me some and you know, Bob, just just
• 1:18
  as an fyi. And I don't know if you do
• 1:21
  this intentionally, but some of these you just give me
• 1:23
  a smile as you look dauntingly at a pile of
• 1:27
  things that you're like, how do I sort this? This
• 1:30
  one from Isaiah five point twenty. First we overlook evil,
• 1:35
  then we permit evil, Then we legalize evil, Then we
• 1:38
  promote evil, then we celebrate evil. Then we persecute those
• 1:42
  who still call it evil. Woe unto them who call
• 1:48
  evil good and good evil. It is the the land
• 1:53
  we're living in. You know, it's amazing that you know
• 1:56
  these words five thousand years old, two thousand years old,
• 2:01
  they still hold true. And this is one of the
• 2:03
  things that an experience leads you to to an understanding
• 2:08
  that we aren't inventing new stuff. And that's one of
• 2:11
  the things I really feel bad about folks who get
• 2:14
  all bent out of shape about some of the things
• 2:17
  going on in the world. We haven't invented this. And
• 2:21
  if we sit down and do that one thing that
• 2:23
  we've learned from history we don't do, which is learned
• 2:27
  from history, we might find ourselves in a position better
• 2:32
  suited to deal with some of this stuff. It doesn't
• 2:38
  that strike you as well. I don't know how many
• 2:40
  miles are on eurodometer, particularly, but and this was not
• 2:44
  something It took me a very long time to realize
• 2:48
  at some point the data points just keep adding up
• 2:54
  and you say, hmm, I'm starting to sense a pattern.
• 2:58
  You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to sense the pattern,
• 3:01
  do you. You know, you can see it pretty quickly as
• 3:06
  you walk through your day. Anyway, we have plenty to
• 3:09
  get into this morning, as the sun, as we are told,
• 3:13
  is predicted to be coming up in the same spot
• 3:16
  in the sky in the east in about two hours
• 3:19
  time eastern seaboard. So the shutdown hasn't had all the
• 3:22
  effects that you might get the impact if you watch
• 3:26
  some of the cable news channels, you know. And that's
• 3:30
  the thing that I think panics guys like Chuck Schumer
• 3:35
  the most is as David Lee Roth, the noted prophet,
• 3:39
  once saying, life goes on without me. Government shutdown is
• 3:44
  likely to continue into next week. Senate majority leader John
• 3:48
  Thune said yesterday it is unlikely the Senate will be
• 3:51
  voting over the weekend. He said that they'll have a
• 3:54
  fourth chance today to open the government, and if that fails,
• 3:58
  we'll give them the weekend to think about it. We're
• 4:02
  putting senators into time out now. GUARDI your roman consider
• 4:06
  their ramifications of your actions. A White House memo titled
• 4:12
  a Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education came out
• 4:16
  of the White House yesterday to nine elite universities, detailing
• 4:21
  a series of things the schools can do to receive
• 4:24
  preferential treatment in receiving federal funds. The policies include capping
• 4:30
  international undergrad enrollment at fifteen percent, banning the use of
• 4:34
  race or sex in hiring and admissions. We already did that,
• 4:40
  but okay, and defining genders based on biology. California Governor
• 4:45
  Gavin Newsom's surprising no one reacted immediately and sent out
• 4:49
  this message to California higher education institutions. Quote. If any
• 4:54
  California university signed this radical agreement, they'll lose billion in
• 5:00
  state funding, including cal grants instantly. The President said he
• 5:07
  plans to use some of the tariff receipts from imports
• 5:11
  to aid US soybean farmers hurt by the fallout on
• 5:15
  US China trade fights. United Nations data shows the breakdown
• 5:20
  and aid delivery to Gaza. Only nineteen percent of UN
• 5:24
  humanitarian trunks have reached the war torn area of the
• 5:28
  Middle East. The administration is questioning the UN's ability to
• 5:32
  manage relief in the area. The Department of Energy said
• 5:36
  Wednesday night it's canceling two hundred and twenty three clean
• 5:40
  energy projects tied to the Biden administration. They say it
• 5:44
  saves taxpayers more than seven point five billion dollars. The
• 5:48
  agency terminated three hundred and twenty one financial awards as
• 5:52
  well connected to projects after a thorough review. The DOE
• 5:57
  says the project's a didn't advance US energy needs, be
• 6:01
  weren't economically viable, and see offered no return to taxpayers.
• 6:06
  Vladimir Putin was at the Black Sea resort of Sohochi
• 6:12
  and said he is looking for a full scale restoration
• 6:16
  of relations with the United States, and those are some
• 6:20
  of our first things on this Friday morning. Here I

  Speaker 6: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
• 7:04
  people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
• 7:07
  to look into.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: And that's meta share.
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: Maybe you've heard joining metashare can save you or your
• 7:12
  family up to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge,
• 7:15
  But it's also true. People are just happier with it.
• 7:18
  They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
• 7:21
  their values and what they believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Meda Share works too.
• 7:24

  Speaker 7: Forty Considered by most optimized Curcumin is one of the
• 8:07
  few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
• 8:12
  II im doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
• 8:18
  our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
• 8:22
  any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
• 8:26
  or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:50
  healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

  Speaker 8: 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 2: Dogs keep us.
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: Safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans. Some of whom
• 10:37
  suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 10:41
  there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 10:43
  a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
• 10:46
  and help those in need. So please join me an
• 10:49

• 10:52

  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:05
  Speaker 10: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 11: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 11: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
• 11:15
  brain is saying when it's time to go home.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 9: Love that guy, me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 12: Know your buzzed warning signs call for a ride when
• 11:23
  it's time to go home.

  Speaker 4: Buzz driving is drunk driving. Did you know that more
• 11:29
  than half our household energy costs go to heating and cooling.
• 11:34
  Energy efficiency isn't just good for the environment, It means

  lower utility bills too. One way to reduce your energy
• 11:41
  waste is a home energy assessment. Your utility company can help,
• 11:45
  or you can learn how to do it yourself at

• 11:52
  look for air leaks around windows and doors, check ducks
• 11:55
  for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time to cut

  Speaker 13: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  first to notice when a veteran you love has been

• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Hundred to do lists. Putting the radio on is the
• 13:15
  first thing today.
• 13:20
  Speaker 12: Will come adead when you will say.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: What they say.
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: When the incomes out.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Without me.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the fear. Right now, you got AOC and
• 13:41
  Chuck Schumer trying to find relevance, and in to their credit,
• 13:46
  they have developed quite a relationship with the news media.
• 13:50
  And by relationship, I mean paying for time slots and
• 13:54
  things like that, you know, indirectly. It is not direct commerce.
• 13:59
  This is more hand in glove. Hey, I've got friends
• 14:02
  who've got friends. We can get you access. Wouldn't you
• 14:06
  like to have the Senate Majority leader or minority leader
• 14:10
  depending on what year it is, on speed dial available
• 14:16
  to you just like that. Oh yeah, no. Access is
• 14:20
  their currency. And I think what they're panicked about Folkhuntas
• 14:30
  melting down on CBS is that they're starting to feel
• 14:33
  like their ratings success isn't what it used to be.
• 14:38
  And the TV networks are saying, home, We're really not
• 14:42
  seeing a lot of ratings here out of this, and
• 14:45
  the ad revenues drying up because some of these pharmaceutical
• 14:48
  companies are joining MAGA and as the philosopher Scooby Doo
• 14:56
  once said, rot roll so shut down day three sunrise Still,
• 15:04
  you know, appears right now all indications. Polling data from
• 15:08
  Emerson College says that most Americans expect to see the
• 15:13
  sunrise in the east, although there's twelve percent of Democrats
• 15:17
  who insist that the sun isn't going to rise at
• 15:20
  all because it's been swallowed up in global warming. Bob's
• 15:24
  on the line in Moscow, Bob, did the sunrise in
• 15:26
  the east where you were, Yes.
• 15:30
  Speaker 15: It did because we all believe in Gotten where Christianity
• 15:34
  and Muslims here and we all live together.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: You know, it's a little like Superman's bizarro world where
• 15:43
  you were telling us yesterday a text message about the
• 15:46
  privacy protections in Russia and that we're developing networks of
• 15:52
  you know, door bell cams that the police can access.
• 15:57
  Listener Jerry said, said, isn't it bizarre how the roles
• 16:03
  seem to be flipping a little bit? But I don't know,
• 16:05
  is it window dressing? Is it really that much better
• 16:09
  in Russia in terms of personal liberty and privacy?
• 16:15
  Speaker 15: In a roundabout way, yes, I feel sick. I can
• 16:21
  go out, I can go out and walk the street,
• 16:23
  and I'm not afraid of someone getting in my face
• 16:26
  and beating the crap out of me because I'm pro.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Trump, even if you're pro I mean, as an American,
• 16:35
  you know, just walk in the streets as a US citizen,
• 16:38
  you know there on a visa, you're okay.
• 16:42
  Speaker 15: Yes, I've had no problems. Every once in a while
• 16:46
  get stopped in the metro asking for my documents. But
• 16:49
  that's just normal that everyone gets stopped. And it's just
• 16:56
  if you you know, because I'm American. Not so much now.
• 17:00
  It was earlier when it first moved to Russia. But
• 17:03
  it's really strange. It's not just Russia, it's all of
• 17:06
  Europe too. I mean Europe has Europe and Russia have
• 17:11
  more privacy rights than what the United States.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Has, Or do they and I hate to say it
• 17:21
  this way, are they role playing privacy? Do they say
• 17:25
  there is privacy and Americans just we have more watchdogs
• 17:30
  whistle blowing when when privacy is being broached.
• 17:36
  Speaker 15: Well, it's it's all the same about privacy. I mean,
• 17:40
  there's no difference anywhere in the world. The government everyone
• 17:45
  knows everything about everyone, period. You know that. I know
• 17:49
  that that's been for decades. The difference is you have
• 17:53
  more privacies as far as if you can, if you're
• 17:57
  arrested if you know, you can't even in new things.
• 18:02
  A lot of things in Russia they black out the
• 18:04
  people's faces in Europe too.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah you were saying that yesterday, right right.
• 18:11
  Speaker 15: Yeah, But I mean it's just simple. It's just simple
• 18:13
  things like if you're in walking with a protest and
• 18:17
  if they do a close up on some of their
• 18:19
  interest in the nine Times on at ten, will black
• 18:22
  out everyone else's face.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Right, it's targeted. Now, It's it's an interesting word. And
• 18:28
  here's one of the things that people forget in the
• 18:30
  United States. Fourth Amendment, which a lot of folks you know,
• 18:34
  will go online and say Fourth Amendment violation or whatever.
• 18:38
  Fourth Amendment does not say the government cannot surveil you
• 18:41
  or search your house. It just lays out a specific
• 18:45
  series of checks and balances over that, the steps that
• 18:50
  they have to go through. First. Our problem right now
• 18:53
  is judges have become just rubber stamps on the stuff,
• 18:56
  and it's like, oh, okay, you don't like the guy,
• 18:59
  all right, go ahead, starts house. We've watched this with
• 19:02
  the PHISA courts. PISA courts had what a ninety four
• 19:05
  percent approval writing on all warrants issued to them. And
• 19:08
  this was the most important backstop against our privacy because
• 19:13
  you're talking about using the CIA and the mass industry
• 19:18
  of intelligence gathering against Americans, and judges were just like, okay,
• 19:23
  when's lunch. You know, It's like a character in a
• 19:25
  mel Brooks movie.
• 19:28
  Speaker 15: And that's one thing I've learned, not just about in Russia,
• 19:30
  but many of the European countries. They still have the
• 19:35
  checks and balances, you don't, you know, if they want
• 19:38
  to go into your house or anything else, they have
• 19:42
  to have actual cause. And I believe, you know, in permission.
• 19:49
  I guess you like what our search warrants are you have?
• 19:53
  You know, they're so documented in Russia and many of
• 19:57
  the European countries compared to the over the misuse in
• 20:01
  the United States that's been going on for.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: A long time. Well, I appreciate it there.
• 20:06
  Speaker 15: But hey, one thing what I wanted to ask you
• 20:10
  about is, you know, I wanted to address Gavin Newsom
• 20:14
  vaccine Waters meltdown about the healthcare. My simple solution is
• 20:19
  my simple solution is they all say everyone should have healthcare.
• 20:24
  I agree with them. Every government employee, period should be
• 20:30
  only be allowed to have the basic coverage of the Obamacare,
• 20:34
  because that's what Nancy COOLSI and Chuck Schumer said. Sign it.
• 20:38
  You can read it later, but just sign it so
• 20:40
  we can go home.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 20:42
  Speaker 15: So if it's such a perfect healthcare I, as a
• 20:45
  US citizen, demand that every federal employee, including government officials,
• 20:53
  all have Obamacare. The only people that should be allowed
• 20:56
  to use the military hospitals are are veterans, not the
• 21:01
  veterans wives, the veterans.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: It would open up a lot of beds and stuff. Bob,
• 21:06
  you enjoy your afternoon. Hey, you have a great day's
• 21:11
  start us with you? Uh four three four eight eight
• 21:14
  two four two one seven. You know. And there is
• 21:18
  a certain amount of misunderstanding about privacy in the United States,
• 21:22
  And I bring this up sometimes the Fourth Amendment doesn't
• 21:25
  say the government can't search your house. And what our
• 21:28
  problem right now should be targeted on judges who are
• 21:32
  too lax in what they determine is probable cause. I mean,
• 21:41
  it's one of a myriad of things, but this for
• 21:44
  this particular moment in time, that's what we'll say. One
• 21:47
  of the things we would like to see better. I
• 21:49
  think we need more court room space in general, because
• 21:53
  it takes too long to get your day in court
• 21:56
  for your due process to play out.
• 21:58
  Speaker 16: Anyway, 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
• 22:26
  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.

  Speaker 17: For decades, America's offshore oil industry has relied on Port
• 23:00
  Fouchaw 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 be.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: A part of that.
• 23:17

• 23:20

  Speaker 7: 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
• 24:50
  healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

  Speaker 4: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 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 label. 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
• 27:09
  air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by

  Speaker 23: Gentlemen, we must do something about this immediately, immediately, immediately.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: On a need to know basis, because you need to
• 28:21
  know the first thing today.
• 28:25
  Speaker 10: Men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: You know mandating is a problem in America.
• 28:33
  Speaker 15: Way to be on a ship with men across the CEO.
• 28:36
  We don't know where to will land or when, but
• 28:38
  it's great to be with men.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: No, no, you misunderstood. I meant amid the other kind
• 28:43
  of mandating, like like mandating things to happen. Andy in
• 28:48
  Florida is just at an event with doctor Potto, who
• 28:53
  was part of the movement to stop medical mandating. And
• 29:00
  if you think about one of the concepts, the governmental concepts,
• 29:04
  as we have time here, since it's mostly well partially
• 29:10
  a little bit shut down, while we have some time,
• 29:18
  think about the idea of mandating a behavior and is
• 29:24
  that something that you find in the US Constitution, the
• 29:35
  Bill of Rights or are they prohibitions? And as I
• 29:43
  bring this up. I'm struck by a statement then Illinois
• 29:48
  Senator Barack h Obama made on I think it was
• 29:52
  two thousand and five. It was fresh off of his
• 29:57
  tour de force address to the twenty four Democratic National Convention.
• 30:05
  Everyone knew he was a rising star, and everyone said,
• 30:10
  this guy's got it going on. So National Public Radio
• 30:14
  with your tax dollars says, let's do a campaign piece
• 30:18
  for him and have him sit down with us. And
• 30:20
  one of the hosts said, well, you're a constitutional expert,
• 30:23
  of course testifying for the witness, You're a constitutional expert
• 30:28
  and a professor in the Constitution, So tell us what
• 30:32
  do you think is wrong with it? And young Barry
• 30:37
  Setero the very beginning of his political career, before he
• 30:41
  had folks like David Axelrod to say don't say that.
• 30:46
  Before he had folks like Eric Holder saying don't let
• 30:49
  anyone know he said that said to the host, well,
• 30:56
  I believe the Constitution's biggest weakness is that it doesn't
• 31:00
  tell you what the government's supposed to do for you.
• 31:06
  The words just sort of lingered there, like a Methodist
• 31:10
  emission in church. And some folks, I think the Washington
• 31:16
  or Washington Examiner. This radio program, you played quite a
• 31:19
  bit of hay with that, and then next thing, you know,
• 31:24
  he's President of the United States. When did that happen?
• 31:29
  You know, it was like, you know, he barely got
• 31:31
  into the Senate, cast a bunch of president votes, and
• 31:34
  then he was president. But that's the thing about the Constitution.
• 31:41
  It's not a series of mandates. It's not a you
• 31:45
  must do this, and you must do that, and you
• 31:47
  must do the other thing. So when you mandate somebody
• 31:53
  does something, it is by its essence unconstitutional. Now you
• 31:58
  can say it's don't democratic. We all voted to make
• 32:03
  you do this. This was why we weren't a pure democracy,
• 32:09
  because if you go by the pure democratic principles, I'm sorry,
• 32:15
  democrazi principles, then whoever shows up, just get a majority
• 32:24
  of them to vote and we can make you do
• 32:26
  what we say. So, if twenty five people show up
• 32:29
  at a city council meeting and they want you to
• 32:31
  have to shut your business down because it's democrazy, we
• 32:37
  all took a vote. You got to shut your business down.
• 32:40
  Why because we don't like it and it violates our
• 32:44
  community standards and our twenty five year, comprehensive plan, and
• 32:51
  all these things that we've allowed to be normalized into
• 32:55
  our society. It's like Bob's text message he sent us
• 33:00
  out of Portland, brilliant point. First you overlook evil, then
• 33:13
  you permit evil, then you legalize evil, then you promote evil,
• 33:17
  then you celebrate evil. Then you persecute those who still
• 33:22
  call it evil. And mandates are that. Mandates are mob rule.
• 33:29
  Mandates are we all took a vote, and here's what
• 33:31
  you have to do, because we all voted fifth, while
• 33:34
  fifty one percent of us decided you have to do
• 33:37
  what we say. And that's why it's patently an American,
• 33:44
  whether it's a vaccine mandate or and sometimes it's in
• 33:50
  the telling of the story. So most of my kids,
• 33:58
  my oldest had some inoculations during his life, but after
• 34:06
  a bout of toxic cinevitis, my kids have gotten their
• 34:11
  immunities the old fashioned way. Just telling you that for
• 34:16
  a basis of the conversation. You can call me and say.
• 34:19
  Speaker 19: You're one that am nut clusters, ain't you You're out
• 34:22
  there spreading your disease and you're typhoid Mary, and all
• 34:26
  the other things that they say about people who say, hey, listen,
• 34:29
  I've chosen, but you would be surprised to realize that
• 34:33
  in most places if you go in prought prior to
• 34:37
  COVID and said I have.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: I'm filing for an exemption. Okay, fill out the forms here.
• 34:46
  As some places have requirements like if your kid gets sick,
• 34:50
  that you prove that they're better before they come back,
• 34:52
  and stuff like that, doctor's notes and things like that.
• 34:56
  And I have plenty of doctors, you know, pediatricians and
• 35:00
  like that, and they're there pre COVID, and they're underground
• 35:04
  now because we developed this mandate mania. You must do
• 35:10
  these things. Let me see your vaccine cards. The same
• 35:14
  people who promoted vaccine cards are the ones that vacate
• 35:19
  their bowels at the suggestion of photo identification to vote.
• 35:26
  As one of the great American hypocrisies. So just look
• 35:34
  at these things, and you know, we can discuss the
• 35:37
  other mandating later, but just understand that when you look
• 35:43
  at all the things that have been shut down, understand
• 35:46
  the first one is the idea of mandating. And on
• 35:50
  the subject of shutdown, and this is a muse that
• 35:53
  I was also struck with some years ago. There was
• 35:55
  a member of the Virginia House of Delegates and one
• 36:03
  of the oldest elected representative bodies on the planet Earth,
• 36:07
  been going for over four hundred years that Virginia and
• 36:20
  California and Illinois and Texas and all these places could
• 36:24
  be there the answer to the financial woes of the
• 36:28
  United States. And here's what I gather from this. So
• 36:30
  there was a fellow delegate to the General Assembly, Bob Marshall,
• 36:34
  who once suggested that Virginia minted its own currency, and
• 36:39
  it was immediately roundhouse around, oh, that's unconstitutionally, you can't have.
• 36:47
  But he was talking about some semblance of a Virginia coin.
• 36:54
  Now you have bitcoins for Miami, Florida. Miami Florida has
• 36:59
  its own bitcoin. Bitcoin has opened the door to all
• 37:04
  sorts of individual municipal currencies. But with most of these
• 37:14
  states having balanced budget amendments and many of them having
• 37:17
  rainy day funds, if the US Treasury fails in its
• 37:21
  ability to get its house in order and the debt
• 37:24
  is coming down right now, we've got quite a few
• 37:27
  things coming and working better, clawing back billions of dollars
• 37:33
  in green money and stuff like that. But the states
• 37:37
  who were the original constructors of the US Treasury could
• 37:42
  come back into play into that. We've got folks ringing
• 37:45
  in and a break looming in the headlights. Good morning,
• 37:48
  who's this?
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: Hey Clark?
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Hey Clark. We've got about ten seconds, so I have
• 37:55
  just enough time to say, Well, find out what Clark
• 37:57
  has to say to us? Next done, first thing today.

  Speaker 14: Are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 43:29
  Speaker 20: Yeah?
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sober.
• 43:32
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 21: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 43:39
  and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 43:42
  or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving. A message

  Speaker 1: How question amaze your friends here in First Thing Today
• 44:15
  by Joe Thomas.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting me be of service to you Saturday.
• 44:20
  After we're finished with you on the Saturday edition of
• 44:23
  the program. This is gonna be my honor to master
• 44:28
  the ceremonies for in Alzheimer's Walk, and the walk season
• 44:32
  is going on all across the area. Fairbanks was a
• 44:36
  few weeks back San Antonio, same Treasure Coast coming up
• 44:40
  on November one, all sorts of places, Jacksonville, Saint Augustine,
• 44:47
  November ninth hours here in the Greater Augusta area. I
• 44:53
  always like it when you can say greater because you
• 44:55
  know who decides that, did we did? We all vote
• 44:58
  on that, mister. But if you I bring this up
• 45:03
  because Mike texts and said, hey, Joe, can you come
• 45:08
  to our Alzheimer's Walk, it sounds like you're pretty passionate
• 45:12
  about the stuff. Evanston North Shore. Probably it was just
• 45:17
  a couple of weeks ago, but Joliet and all these
• 45:21
  things going on where you're walking. Sure, I mean, if
• 45:29
  you want me to, let's let's have a chat about it.
• 45:32
  It's it is an important thing for you to find
• 45:35
  out about. And if you haven't been part of the walk,
• 45:38
  there's plenty of ways you can help out al z
• 45:41
  dot org slash walk to find yours where you is
• 45:47
  this morning, Doctor Clark was hanging on the line with
• 45:50
  us right before we headed to break. Doctor Clark, I
• 45:53
  appreciate it, sir. What's on your mind? Sir?
• 45:56
  Speaker 23: Well, we'll get into what's on my mind in a second.
• 45:59
  But you triggered me with the photo I D thing.
• 46:04
  You know, I think we could make everybody happy.
• 46:08
  Speaker 21: Just another benefit of the chip.
• 46:10
  Speaker 23: A child program, just a common sense program to make
• 46:15
  sure that we can locate missing children. But make no mistake,
• 46:20
  it would be a universal chip thing.
• 46:22
  Speaker 22: Sure you wouldn't have to carry a photo I DJO
• 46:25
  that can just read your chips.
• 46:27
  Speaker 23: Matter of fact, we know where you voted, we know
• 46:30
  when you voted. Probably figure out a way to know
• 46:34
  how you voted.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: Hmmm. That way, if you voted wrong, you.
• 46:39
  Speaker 23: Could get some remedial instruction.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: Or if you voted wrong, you could have your vote cured.
• 46:47
  I mean that we invented that during COVID too. We
• 46:51
  think this guy voted wrong. Can we carry his ballot? Sure, gohead,
• 46:55
  carry his ballot.
• 46:57
  Speaker 23: There you go.
• 46:58
  Speaker 22: So you're talking about democracy this morning, and we briefly
• 47:05
  discussed the other day that.
• 47:09
  Speaker 23: National Socialist German ORCERS party was contracted by some people
• 47:14
  to Nazi, which apparently Nazis didn't appreciate.
• 47:19
  Speaker 22: But anyway, I keep working on coming up with.
• 47:25
  Speaker 23: A good term for the Democrats socialists dotsy, I don't know,
• 47:31
  dem z, I don't know now Krotzy Joe think about it.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: Crotzy if Nazi.
• 47:40
  Speaker 24: If Nazi is in a z I, Yeah, Crozi would
• 47:45
  be c our As, I.
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't it be? Well, yes, I see what you doing
• 48:00
  it here? Yeah? They And I see the the image
• 48:03
  right now, that stylized image of Alexander occasional cortex on
• 48:08
  the posters right now, Join the krazy Party. Yeah, that goes.
• 48:17
  Speaker 22: Sig Alex, Sig Alex, sig Alex.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know it was sig Sorrows or well, yeah,
• 48:27
  I mean, you know, fascism comes to those who want it.
• 48:31
  Speaker 22: Uh.
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: And and as long as we all vote, I mean
• 48:33
  that's really the important thing, uh, is that you know,
• 48:36
  if we've all voted for it, then then who are
• 48:39
  we to judge? Right, all of your neighbors or at least,
• 48:42
  you know, fifty percent of your neighbors that showed up.
• 48:46
  Speaker 22: If everybody had a chip, it'd be hard to have
• 48:51
  one hundred and twenty percent of votes cast.
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: That'd be difficult. Well yeah, but you could also find
• 48:59
  all those folks who did vote and proxy for them.
• 49:02
  So and that's and that's a core function of Charles
• 49:05
  Donson's liquid democracy is that you could sell your vote.
• 49:11
  So there's some commerce to it. It's like it's like data.
• 49:15
  You could proxy your vote and maybe even make a
• 49:18
  few bucks. Like if you need a tank of gas
• 49:21
  and you didn't really feel like voting, you could proxy
• 49:25
  to somebody who has twenty bucks for gas and uh.
• 49:28
  And then even beyond that, if you don't achieve one
• 49:32
  hundred percent of the glory glorified voter turnout, well we
• 49:38
  can probably do something about that by curing your ballots,
• 49:43
  by making sure that your uncast ballot is uh is
• 49:50
  cleared up.
• 49:52
  Speaker 22: Changing subjects a lot, have you been paying attention to
• 50:00
  the mid decade census adjustment thing?
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean outside of the way they're using it
• 50:08
  to redistrict a lot of these states.
• 50:12
  Speaker 22: Yeah, Well, if the Donaldman is to pull that off, wow,
• 50:23
  well this is how many seats do the Kronzis automatically lose.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. I mean, I can make the
• 50:32
  Kronzis or the Krozis lose a bunch of seats just
• 50:37
  by getting to constitutional proportionality. If we can overturn the
• 50:43
  Permanent Reapportionment Act that the racist Dixiecrats got passed in
• 50:49
  nineteen twenty nine, then all those eighty five percent of
• 50:54
  all the counties in America that voted Republican in twenty
• 50:58
  twenty four, all for the most part, have their own
• 51:02
  congress person or two or three of them combined. I mean,
• 51:06
  you would triple the congressional majority of a Republican one
• 51:11
  of the reasons Democrats don't want it. But that was
• 51:14
  one of the reasons we had the kind of you know,
• 51:20
  representation laid out in the Constitution. There you go, good stuff,
• 51:27
  doctor Clark. Enjoy. Maybe we talk to you Saturday morning,
• 51:30
  maybe not, but if not, have a great weekend. Hope
• 51:34
  to see you then. All right, peace and for those wondering,
• 51:38
  go look at the Original Bill of Rights. The Original
• 51:44
  Bill of Rights, the First Amendment lays out specifically how
• 51:52
  the Congress was going to be apportioned, and I'm going
• 52:01
  from memory, I believe it's fifty thousand, maximum fifty thousand
• 52:05
  citizens per congress person. That was what the Framers, George Mason, etc.
• 52:11
  Thought the most important thing to guarantee, to guarantee the
• 52:16
  security of the republic based on democratic principles, was to
• 52:21
  make sure that the US House of Representatives was representing
• 52:24
  a small amount of people as possible each So ruminate
• 52:34
  on that for a little bit more. Walk to end
• 52:37
  Alzheimer's provo. It's October eleventh. There's a week and a half.
• 52:43
  There's a little over a week from there. Lots of them.

• 52:48
  Alzheimer's associations. My name is Bobby.

  Speaker 3: My victory was proving that disability is not a limitation.
