"In His Own (and entire) Words" (Saturday September 20, 2025, Hour 1) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:03
Speaker 1: We'll do it mornings the first thing today. The Tunk
0:07
media at Thomas.
0:09
Speaker 2: Will do it long jewort said, steal me.
0:14
Speaker 3: Have a day.
0:14
Speaker 4: But you also had people these for work.
0:16
Speaker 5: When the sun comes up, drops.
0:20
Speaker 6: That were Joe is a dream all the jers, no
0:26
one that Joe's smile.
0:28
Speaker 7: He only eggs very.
0:31
Speaker 8: Five people on both size.
0:34
Speaker 6: Joe here hold these truths.
0:39
Speaker 9: Bless you for besking in the amplitude or frequency modulation goodness,
0:44
wherever you may be stantmastic, wherever it is that you
0:48
find yourself this morning along the Tunk media network don't
0:51
have a full accounting of who's picked up the Saturday
0:54
morning live coverage of the news or will tell you
0:58
what went on Friday, and it's bill axiomatic. There's still
1:02
the order of the day amongst government officials. When you
1:07
want something unpleasant to be publicly announced, but you want
1:13
to live up to transparency, you do it on a
1:16
Friday afternoon because you figure people aren't paying attention on
1:20
Saturday morning. They're into the honey do list, they're off
1:23
to the garden center. But so many more of us
1:26
are working. This is this is almost a week work
1:29
day for so many people. I know people who live
1:34
in Suffolk County, New York, who work on Saturdays and
1:38
take off Mondays because they just don't want to deal
1:42
with the Long Island Expressway one extra time, or they
1:44
want to find a seat on the Long Island Railroad
1:47
train and not have to stand all the way from Patchog.
1:51
Speaker 8: To New York. It's true.
1:53
Speaker 9: I mean it's some of these l r R trains,
1:55
I mean, with or without striking conductors and motormen are
2:01
like a subway car without straps to hang from, and
2:08
you always got to please find a seat, please.
2:10
Speaker 8: Wear on the roof. But I digress.
2:15
Speaker 9: We begin on this Saturday morning. The famous clip and
2:19
I lived it, I loved it. I've written the posthumous
2:25
epithets about it. August twelfth, twenty seventeen became perhaps the
2:33
keystone in how this program covers Donald Trump, which is,
2:40
don't let them tell you what he said. And here's
2:44
why I say this, because right now you are being
2:48
inundated on your phones and on your laptops, and in
2:51
your Facebook feeds, and your ex and your Instagram and
2:54
everywhere you turn, you're being inundated with Donald Trump wants
3:00
the media to be made illegal. Critical news coverage of
3:04
Donald Trump should be illegal. And as soon as I
3:09
saw the headlines, they said, there's more going on here
3:13
than that, and it's and so it was one of
3:19
Donald Trump's now famous Oval Office. The two things he
3:22
does that really impressed me in version two point zero
3:27
are the air Force one hallway press conferences flying back
3:31
on Sunday evenings and this afternoon sit down in the
3:36
Oval Office. Number one. It is designed to put people
3:41
off kilter, which is good for the press. They deserve
3:45
to be off kilter as much as possible. But you
3:49
can't say brother isn't accessible. Trouble with Brother being accessible
3:55
is is they can take his words and twist them
3:58
around and make them say whatever they want to if
4:01
they excerpt them correctly. And much of what I think
4:03
he was talking about when he called the coverage of
4:07
him illegal, we'll get into that in the full depth
4:10
and breadths. Just to let's use the term inoculate you
4:15
from the feeds you're getting. But speaking of inoculations, Secretary
4:21
Robert F. Kennedy Junior a medt a bomb threat at
4:24
his Georgetown home. His Health Vaccine Advisor's Board announced Friday
4:31
they have voted to skip COVID nineteen vaccination recommendations until
4:39
this fall, instead leading the decision to individuals which changes
4:46
the HHS requirements for COVID nineteen vaccine, making it an
4:51
individual choice. Harris County, Texas Chapter of Moms for Liberty
4:56
has accused be the change SBIs. It's a left leaning
5:02
group with more than seven hundred members operating in the
5:05
Spring Branch Independent School District. That's what SBISD stands for
5:11
for publishing private data from students at Stratford High School
5:18
on the Internet, including their private addresses and email accounts,
5:25
to dos them electronically out of forming a Turning Point
5:28
USA club at their high school. They are picking up
5:33
on a story that was from last Saturday, saying that
5:37
the Turning Point USA organization is crippled by an individual
5:45
motivated interpersonal rivalry between Charlie Kirk and Nick Fointis, and
5:49
you can't bring that kind of dangerous rivalry into a
5:54
high school, proving that it's been a long time since
5:58
this group has been in high school. The share of
6:02
Republicans who see the country headed in the right direction
6:05
has fallen sharply. According to an Associated Press Nork Center poll.
6:10
They only see about half the GOPC the nation on
6:14
the right course. That's down from seventy percent in June.
6:18
Actual numbers fifty three percent. President Trump also got a
6:24
loss in court as a federal judge blocked his administration
6:28
or disfavoring arts programs for funding for gender ideology campaigns.
6:36
At Fishburn Military School, there's no hiding here. They don't
6:40
believe in one size fits all education. They believe in structure,
6:44
brotherhood and unlocking potential. Whether your son needs to discover
6:49
his strengths, build confidence, or gain leadership skills, Fishburn helps
6:53
young men stand tall and stay true. There's still time
6:58
to apply for fall Visit fish dot org.
7:01
Speaker 10: 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. And that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
7:10
joining meta share can save you or your family up
7:13
to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but
7:16
it's also true.
7:16
Speaker 3: People are just happier with it.
7:18
Speaker 10: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
7:21
their values and what they believe in. Meta Share works too.
7:24
It's been around for thirty years now and members have
7:27
shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
7:31
People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
7:34
So yeah, really you can save a ton and like
7:37
it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
7:39
of your health care, whether you're self employed or part
7:42
of the gig economy, or you just want to plan
7:44
that you're happy with.

Speaker 11: Forty Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
8:07
few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
8:12
I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
8:18
our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
8:22
any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
8:26
or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:31
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:36
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer and
8:46
in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:50
healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

Speaker 4: Hi, everybody, I'm Jack Hannah and it's always a boy.
10:01
Speaker 13: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
10:03
with animals. I'm not only in alle of their beauty
10:05
and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
10:08
at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
10:11
Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
10:14
or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
10:17
secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
10:20
jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
10:22
in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
10:25
by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
10:28
a wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
10:32
they also perform life saving work every day.
10:34
Speaker 4: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
10:36
Speaker 13: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
10:38
They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change.
10:41
Speaker 4: In their blood chemistry.
10:43
Speaker 13: 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.

11:01
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 14: And now a speech.
11:06
Speaker 2: I just want to say that Friendship is about heart,
11:10
art and brain.
11:11
Speaker 4: Who's with me?
11:12
Speaker 14: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
11:15
brain is saying when it's time to go home. Somebody
11:18

Speaker 15: Love that guy, me too.
11:21
Speaker 16: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
11:23
it's time to go home.
11:24
Speaker 4: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:28
Speaker 17: Did you know that more than half our household energy
11:31
costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
11:35
good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
11:39
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
11:42
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
11:46
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
11:49
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
11:52
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
11:56
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
12:00
when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
12:02
energy Star logo and read the energy guide label. And
12:06
there are day to day things you can do. Lower
12:09
your thermostat and winter and raise it in the summer,
12:11
close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
12:15
air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by

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

13:11
Speaker 1: Question First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by
13:15
Joe Thomas.
13:17
Speaker 3: You don't mean that, what's.
13:19
Speaker 7: Doing You don't really want to know, Just.
13:27
Speaker 17: Jill.
13:32
Speaker 9: In the world of the infomercial replacing the evening newscast,
13:38
you know, there used to be a rule that if
13:41
you were running an infomercial, there used to have to
13:44
be a little graphic at the bottom that said paid advertisement.
13:51
You know, when Billy Mays was out there, the late
13:54
great Billy Mays, pitching his oxy clean like you couldn't
13:59
tell it was a commercial for oxy clean. But considering
14:05
the amount of money that the political action committees and
14:09
the agendaized businesses spend on buying up evening newscasts, sponsoring,
14:20
and therefore.
14:24
Speaker 8: Exerting let's just see editorial leans. I'm not telling you
14:30
what to say.
14:31
Speaker 9: I'm just saying it would make me much happier if
14:33
you said it this way. The very thing that as
14:41
much as I bashed Edward R. Murrow for his colossal
14:44
failure with Joe McCarthy and the communists, he was right
14:50
when he battled Bill Paley back in the day in
14:55
the same office building where I'm sure i'd fancifully like
14:58
to imagine that Stephen Albert found out he was getting
15:01
his ass fired, that the news needed to be independent.
15:10
Sure it had at the time, and in most cases
15:13
through television history. The most viewers radio talk radio of
15:22
all types when you lump in even NPR, but talk
15:27
radio is the most popular format of radio of all types,
15:34
whether it be you know, Howard Stern kind of talk
15:37
or what you and I are doing here.
15:38
Speaker 8: Which is a hybrid of the.
15:40
Speaker 9: Serious newsman on NPR with most things from this side
15:45
of the aisle considered. So all the different variants of
15:50
news and discussion, radio is the most dominant form because
15:55
it is the most profitable form because you are the
15:59
most ardent listeners. I remember in the days when I
16:03
was on one oh three point nine on Long Island,
16:05
back in the old days when it was a rock station,
16:08
we actually had people who would go and yell at
16:14
other radio stations during if they were doing an appearance
16:18
at one of our businesses or in our territory. It
16:23
was like, all right, all right, I understand. It was
16:26
very proprietary. This was my station. And talk radio has
16:31
replaced kind of rock radio or even country radio. The
16:35
bifurcation of all these formats has sort of diluted that
16:39
passion for this is my station. So in the infomercial
16:47
days of television, the narrative, the political action committees and
16:52
the K Street lobby driven industries want is Trump bad
16:58
because Trump cutting into our wallet. It's like the mayor
17:04
said to Harvey Dent, everyone whose wallet is about to
17:07
get lighter is going to be.
17:08
Speaker 8: Coming for you.
17:10
Speaker 9: So, as I played the clip at the onset of
17:13
the program. Ever since twenty seventeen, it has become abundantly
17:17
clear to me that they will take a semi sentence
17:20
of barely a sentence fragment of what Donald Trump.
17:23
Speaker 8: Says, and they will tell you what he meant. Why.
17:27
Speaker 9: During the campaign in twenty sixteen, they invented the phrase
17:31
dog whistle so they could tell you what Donald Trump
17:34
said even if he didn't say it, and it still
17:38
continues today. Thus the stories of the president and whither
17:43
he wants to make speech illegal. So this is the
17:50
president's full statement, including the question, which is often the
17:54
most important part, because it's the case with Donald Trump,
17:59
that question usually becomes the answer. Unfortunately.
18:04
Speaker 8: Yeah.
18:05
Speaker 19: To follow up by Charlie Kirk, There's been a lot
18:06
of talk about free speech this week.
18:09
Speaker 5: Do you see a difference between cancel.
18:11
Speaker 6: Culture and consequence culture?
18:14
Speaker 5: I'm in your questions a little trick question.
18:17
Speaker 9: I like, I'm a thank you, mister President for pointing
18:20
out the trick question, but go ahead.
18:22
Speaker 5: Very strong person for free speech.
18:25
Speaker 20: At the same time, when you have networks that where
18:30
I won an election like in Counties, I guess it's
18:33
two thousand, six hundred to five hundred and twenty five,
18:36
it's called landside a landslide times too, when you have
18:40
that kind of that level of popularity or voter support
18:43
as I did in the last election, and yet ninety
18:47
seven and ninety four percent. Different numbers, you see different
18:51
numbers with different stats. But ninety seven, ninety four, ninety five,
18:57
ninety six percent of the people are against me in
19:02
the sense of the newscasts are against me the stories,
19:07
and ninety they said ninety seven percent bad, so they
19:10
gave me ninety seven.
19:12
Speaker 5: They'll take a great story and they'll make it bad. See,
19:17
I think that's really illegal. Personally.
19:20
Speaker 20: You can't take you can't have a free airwaves. You're
19:23
getting free airwaves from the United States government and you
19:26
can't have that.
19:27
Speaker 5: And say, and somebody that just won an election.
19:31
Speaker 21: And I had to go through this story of the election,
19:33
I think it's a miracle that I can win when
19:36
ninety seven percent of the stories on the networks are
19:40
bad or whatever it may be.
19:42
Speaker 5: Whether it's eighty nine, it doesn't matter. It's a tremendous number.
19:46
You know it. You report it all the time and
19:47
it changes.
19:49
Speaker 20: But when you have that kind of a negative reporting,
19:52
fake negative reporter, when they take a great story and
19:55
they make it into a bad story.
19:57
Speaker 5: Constantly, that's what they do.
19:59
Speaker 20: Look minutes took Kamala's answer and they threw it out
20:03
and they gave her a different answer so that she
20:05
sounded competent when things like that happened. George Slapadopolis from
20:11
your network, right, George Slapadopolos had to pay sixteen million
20:15
dollars to me because of what he said, and that's ABC.
20:20
You had to pay more than that. Your network had
20:24
to pay more than that. So I think it's very sad,
20:29
but I think that reporting has to be at least accurate,
20:34
at least accurate.
20:35
Speaker 5: To an extent.
20:37
Speaker 9: So there's your president's statement. Now there is one point
20:41
in there I'd like to nuance for the President. The
20:43
Federal Communication Commission guarantees your space in the airwaves, protects it.
20:50
It's your deed to it, the same way the registrar's
20:57
office or the county clerk's office records your deed for
21:02
your property under your house. Since the broadcast television or
21:08
radio station doesn't have physical property outside of where the
21:12
transmitter tower is, and don't ask me about that these days,
21:17
the Federal Communication Commission allows you to file a deed
21:21
with them that you're going to use one h three
21:24
point nine FM broadcasting from an old drive in radio
21:28
station drive in movie theater in Riverhead and nobody else
21:33
can use that in the area that the FCC lays out.
21:38
So the FCC doesn't give you the land, they guarantee
21:42
that it's not going to be used by somebody else.
21:45
You're not going to get some squatter showing up there.
21:47
But now you've heard the president's full statement. We've got
21:50
the news at the bottom of the hour here, so
21:52
we can get onto other stuff maybe, or we can
21:56
dig into how they're mischaracterizing the president yet again for
22:00
what he said.
22:01
Speaker 22: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League Training for Planet Fitness,
22:04
and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
22:07
at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate aerobic
22:10
activity in a week's time. But here's the thing that
22:13
one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to be
22:15
super intense. As a matter of fact, it could just
22:18
be you moving your body and doing what you already
22:20
love to do, like exercise. And a stronger heart doesn't
22:23
just mean cardio, right, it means also infusing your workout
22:27
routines with strength training as well. So we are super
22:30
excited to be launching our new plateloaded Strength series and
22:34
all of our gems. It's already fitted in seventeen hundred locations,
22:38
with the goal to have all twenty seven hundred fitted
22:40
by the end of twenty twenty five.

22:51
Speaker 22: All around the world and most of our gyms being
22:53
open twenty four hours, it's bound to be one close
22:55
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 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
24:42
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
24:45
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
24:50
healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot Com where

28:35
one seven, go ahead, prove us right.
28:39
Speaker 8: We're here live.
28:40
Speaker 9: We're breaking down the news that they tried to sneak
28:43
out the Friday back door old days when people actually
28:48
had Saturday and Sunday off. There wasn't so many people
28:53
listening to Saturday morning radio, and they weren't buying Saturday
28:56
morning's newspapers, so all the stuff that you didn't want
28:59
people to talk about came out on Friday afternoon, and
29:03
lucky for us on this program, they.
29:05
Speaker 8: Still try to do that.
29:07
Speaker 9: They still try to sneak the sally out the alley
29:11
so that you don't have time to hear the guy in.
29:14
Speaker 8: The radio say does this piss you off?
29:20
Speaker 9: And one of our great friends is jcsgold dot com.
29:24
I tell you you know gold and silver investing, of course,
29:28
but do it with a family, not a call center,
29:31
not one of those places where it's at Please wait
29:33
for the next available personal family business jcsgold dot com.
29:38
I can go there right now and tell you Gold
29:41
is up forty dollars and thirty six cents to three thousand,
29:45
six hundred and eighty five dollars in a couple of
29:47
cents per ounce. Silver is at forty three. It was
29:53
thirty something last Saturday morning. It's up a dollar twenty
29:56
six again since yesterday. James Luck, of course, the fourth
30:01
generation owner of jcscold dot com, looking forward to next week.
30:05
Speaker 27: Right, next week might be another major breakout week for silver.
30:10
Speaker 8: All right, well, but this is what you want.
30:12
Speaker 9: This, You want this insight so that when you say, hey,
30:16
I don't know what should I should I be buying more.
30:18
I mean the price goes down, should I buy more?
30:20
Should I sell? And this is the advice that you
30:23
can get. Plus, there are really neat ways if you
30:26
go online during the weekend to take a look at
30:28
JCS Gold of ways to stack silver instead of just
30:32
buying a bar, which is in itself its own statement,
30:36
but some very cool commemoratives coins, collectible coins, ancient coins,
30:42
james right all there on the website.
30:46
Speaker 19: Absolutely, we have lots of great options for people who
30:49
want to invest in silver, which is about ninety percent
30:54
of our clients and customers these days.
30:57
Speaker 27: And there we have all sorts of commemorative coins put
31:01
out by the US Ment UH that commemorate the Marines,
31:05
commemorate the police force, you know, all sorts of different
31:08
options there at.
31:09
Speaker 5: Jasuscold dot com.
31:10
Speaker 7: So go check that.
31:11
Speaker 8: Out, UH.
31:12
Speaker 27: And and you know, and the story we always say
31:16
is that it's just about not really the price movements
31:18
of silver, but it's just the stacking of silver. It's
31:21
the vine once a week, once every two weeks, getting
31:24
your allotment of silver, that you can just build that
31:27
silver portfolio over time and you can be ready for
31:30
for breakouts like this.
31:32
Speaker 12: UH.
31:32
Speaker 8: And then Hopefully we never need it.
31:34
Speaker 27: Hopefully we don't need to fight inflation, but you have
31:36
it in case you do.
31:37
Speaker 9: And of course then you trigger my inner middle school
31:40
earn it says I want silver for my part.
31:44
Speaker 8: Uh. Anyway, thank you James for that.
31:47
Speaker 9: Jcsgol dot com is where you go to get them.
31:51
Speaker 8: So the question you ask, why do they do it? JT?
32:02
Why do they do it?
32:03
Speaker 9: It was my friend Tom Garrett, former congressman. Now, remember
32:07
the oldest representative elective body on the planet, the Virginia
32:12
General Assembly, once told me.
32:14
Speaker 8: He said, JT. They do it because it works. Story here. Polls.
32:19
Of course, polls are worth the paper they're printed on.
32:22
Speaker 9: But news Week, Newsweek is the one that this is
32:28
a Newsweek situation. Here Newsweek is saying that I can't
32:36
get it open. Now the story the headline after spending
32:41
ten minutes on why don't just buy the headlines?
32:43
Speaker 8: JT. Kind of a bad look. Can't get it open.
32:46
Speaker 9: But polls, and they may have pulled the story down
32:48
already some poll probably This ABC nork Pole, in one
32:55
of the lower echelon questions, says that President Trump's approval
33:00
rating amongst women is the lowest ever why do they
33:06
constantly do this stuff because it works, because they're trying
33:09
to get a party to win. And the interesting thing
33:13
is if you and they blame people like me for this,
33:21
they say, well, it's because of Joe Thomas or Rush
33:24
Limbaugh that we do this. Really because analyzing a news
33:30
story and calling it out for the buncom that it
33:33
is is trying to get a party to win. I mean,
33:37
they're is ostensibly a PR firm if you have a
33:41
TV camera, and I think a lot of people have
33:44
grown weary of the podcast world. I've seen some flagging numbers,
33:49
some flatlining numbers on podcasts and things like that. Quick note,
33:54
you can pick up all the episodes of this program
33:58
as podcast at Thomas in the Morning dot com and
34:02
actually on Joe Thomas in the Morning dot com. You
34:05
can pick and choose amongst the podcast distributors like Apple
34:09
Podcasts or Spotify or iHeart, and they'll send it to
34:13
you directly when we post each episode, and it's hour
34:17
by hour, so you're just it's for the folks who
34:19
don't get all the hours of the program. Why on
34:22
weekdays and for you guys Onthing Long Island. Yeah, we
34:26
do this every day, four hours a day.
34:29
Speaker 8: What does he do for four hours a day?
34:32
Speaker 9: I mean, I remember when he used to do requests
34:34
at lunchtime. But man, man, four hours of this. Why
34:41
do they do it? They do it because it works.
34:44
The more they say it, the more it detracts from
34:46
people's support of Donald Trump, the more they say Donald
34:49
Trump wants to go to Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz reacted
34:52
to it. I'd like to think Ted Cruz less likely
34:59
to fall prey to this, But maybe it's because I
35:02
was here in Charlottesville. Our flagship is the Central Virginia
35:06
Area Stanton to Charlottesville, and I was there at the
35:10
corner of Fourth and Market Street on August twelfth, and
35:13
I did run into the very fine people on both sides.
35:17
Hawk Knewsome, who has unfortunately sold himself out to keeping
35:22
his cushy job as president of Black Lives Matter, but
35:25
at the time was actually an open minded individual who
35:28
spoke at Trump rallies in favor of Donald Trump and
35:35
saved me from a brutal beating that I was going
35:38
to get and probably the wholeheartedly you know, didn't deserve
35:44
because one of his fellows and Black Lives Matter bumped
35:47
into me and ironically decided I must be a racist
35:50
because of the color.
35:51
Speaker 8: Of my skin. Hawk knowing me, stepped in and said, no,
35:57
I know this guy. He's cool.
35:59
Speaker 9: So I can speak testimonially all my listeners that had
36:02
been catfished into that August twelfth, twenty seventeen. David Duke rally,
36:07
thinking it was somehow a free speech rally rather than
36:10
round up the Jews rally, came to me in the
36:17
midst of the pepper spray and said, what's going on?
36:19
So I can tell you when the President said there
36:22
were very fine people on both sides of August twelfth,
36:25
twenty seventeen, he was right, and if you listen to
36:28
his whole statement, you realize he is right.
36:30
Speaker 8: And that's why every.
36:31
Speaker 9: Time I see a situation like this where people are like, oh,
36:34
the president says.
36:37
Speaker 8: News media is illegal and we should so.
36:41
Speaker 9: Ted Cruz again, somebody I like to apply some gravity
36:46
to on his podcast, said that warnings about the government
36:52
getting into the business of saying we don't like what
36:55
you the media have said. We're going to ban you
36:57
from the airwaves if you don't say what we like
37:01
will end up bad for conservatives.
37:03
Speaker 8: Now, he was reacting to.
37:06
Speaker 9: FCC Commissioner car suggesting that they wouldn't think unkindly of
37:14
affiliates of ABC dropping Jimmy Kimmel's program, and suggested that
37:22
they might even investigate local license holders for carrying Jimmy
37:27
Kimmel's program if it was proven that he engaged in
37:31
hate speech. Again, a whole lot more going on in
37:33
Brending Carr's statement than just we're going to target stations
37:37
that carry ABC because words have meanings. Play in with
37:42
your words, go blind, playing with your words too much.
37:46
But they are like a worry stone to me, and
37:50
they're very important, and we'll get into it. We have
37:52
a break coming up, but I want to get into
37:55
why they play with the words and try to use
37:57
words that you think means something and don't.
38:02

Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk Media Network,
44:16
all natural and free of artificial intelligence.
44:19
Speaker 9: To me, well, because it's what we do in the
44:29
news narrative business, in the infomercial business. Billy Mays was
44:35
never going to tell you that oxi clean was easily
44:38
recreated at home a little baking soda. No, Billy May's
44:43
would never do that, because his job was to sell
44:46
you oxy clean. If McDonald's is sponsoring your news, paying
44:56
for your news, even if it's a pass through like
45:01
Ronald McDonald House Charities or something, and there's a big
45:04
story that there was a drug raid at the McDonald's
45:09
in your town and that the manager and the owner
45:14
and all the drive through cashiers were selling crack through
45:18
the window. And as a former fast food manager, I
45:22
will tell you that is not as fanciful an idea
45:24
as you might think. Do you report it? News is
45:31
brought to you by McDonald's. I'm loving it, mostly because
45:35
I'm high on crack. And you know, if you think
45:39
about it, you know, crack like weed, gives you the munchies.
45:43
Speaker 8: I'm told. Okay, give me.
45:47
Speaker 9: Eighteen French fries in the rock, you know, brought to
45:52
you by Charlie Sheen's documentary.
45:54
Speaker 8: Now the.
45:58
Speaker 9: This is why you don't corrupt the news. And to
46:03
be fair, I understand news reporters got to eat. News
46:08
radio stations need to pay the electric bill. So there's
46:13
a tradition to commerce. And here's here's why they do it.
46:18
Because the traditional style of broadcast sponsorship, like if you
46:23
hear me do an ad for jcsgold dot com, I
46:30
presume you understand that they have compensated me in some way,
46:34
shape or form for that spot. And if you have
46:37
a friend who has a gold or silver business, don't
46:40
take umbrage. These folks have said, hey, can you pitch
46:43
my business? And here's the upside to it is it's
46:47
a family business.
46:48
Speaker 8: Okay, so this is what we do. We do it.
46:50
Speaker 9: Upside to it. But if I did a whole show
46:56
about gold and silver investing, always kept alluding to ways
47:08
to stack silver and gold and kind of thing, and
47:11
the whole show was just about gold and silver investing.
47:14
Sports radio is corrupted by this with the money that
47:19
comes from these casinos for sports book and all that.
47:22
Right now, I can't even listen to sports radio anymore.
47:26
It's all about sports book. I mean, I was never
47:31
an enormous fan of sports talk, but I used to
47:35
dig a Jim Rome or a Dan Patrick show every
47:38
now and then. But now it's all you know, what's
47:41
the spread, who's got who won the fantasy team.
47:44
Speaker 8: It's all about gambling. Okay, so that's the thing. But
47:48
it's all.
47:49
Speaker 9: Brought to you by MGM's Sports Book. And so when
47:52
the guy does an hour on sports betting, and it's
47:56
brought to you by MGM Sportsbook, that's what you're getting
47:59
in your evening newscasts.
48:03
Speaker 8: The packs are paying these newsrooms.
48:11
Speaker 9: To make sure that Donald Trump and his ilk, that's
48:14
the most important part of it, don't win any more
48:17
of these damn elections. This has been problematic for us.
48:21
It's cost us billions of dollars in taxpayer money that
48:25
we were spending on our own stuff.
48:26
Speaker 8: Damn it.
48:29
Speaker 9: And the same anger that manifested in the assassination of
48:32
Charlie Kirk now now's a week and a half ago,
48:36
because they had spent trillions of dollars in doctrinating kids
48:42
from the moment they got into daycare, government funded Joe
48:46
Biden daycare through kDa twelve all the way up to
48:49
the halls of academia and higher education, and along comes
48:55
this damned Charlie Kirk guy and his turning Point in
48:58
USA and D programs these kids. We've spent trillions of
49:02
dollars programming these kids.
49:04
Speaker 8: And it was like.
49:07
Speaker 9: That character from Now you see Meet the hypnotist, Woody
49:12
Harrelson's character just grabs you, looks at you, said sleep
49:15
and you sleep. I'm just like, yeah, that doesn't really
49:18
happen in hypnotism, but it seemed it was metaphorically what
49:22
Charlie Kirk was doing to these zombies that had been
49:26
programmed over fourteen years of public education. They come along,
49:31
they meet Charlie Kirk and the rest of the Turning
49:33
Point USA. And let me address that real quick before
49:36
we get back into the point of what is being
49:38
said about Donald Trump and.
49:40
Speaker 8: The public airwaves, because.
49:42
Speaker 9: The narrative they want to sell. Actually, you know what, Joel,
49:45
I'm going to get to your text in a moment
49:47
because it has a reference to Charlie Kirk, and I
49:49
don't want to digress off the point of why they're
49:53
doing this idea that Trump is coming after the public airwaves,
50:00
and hey, you know what, to be completely fair, do
50:04
I wish Donald Trump was smoother before he just held
50:12
cart It's a double edged sword because then you don't
50:16
get the candor that he gives you. If he's Barack Obama,
50:20
then he's just reading off of Barack Obama's teleprompter. Remember
50:24
back the good old days when we used to have
50:27
ex accounts titled Barack Obama's teleprompter. I think there's a
50:33
new one out that's called Joe Biden's auto pen because
50:38
you got you have to satirize these people, and so
50:42
do I wish sometimes Donald Trump would, you know, not
50:45
just riff off the top of his head. Sure, because
50:49
sometimes he says things like the government gives you these airwaves.
50:55
It's just like kind of like Tim kainsaying, government gives
50:58
us the rights. They are there to guarantee that nobody
51:04
comes and steals my airwaves for any of the stations,
51:08
whether it be twelve forty one oh one one and
51:11
ninety eight nine and Stanton and Waynesboro and Croze or
51:17
one oh three point nine in Suffolk County or wherever
51:20
you're being heard.
51:21
Speaker 8: I don't know.
51:22
Speaker 9: We found out we're on in four corners, coldest part
51:25
of the country. Four corners. My gosh, I don't know
51:28
if we're on on Saturday mornings there, but I do
51:30
know those two places have us on Saturday mornings.
51:36
Speaker 8: And that nobody can come along and steal that. It's
51:38
your deed. It's your deed that says these are your airwaves.
51:43
Speaker 9: It's just like if you had a storefront, you had
51:46
a lease, or you purchased a building at a storefront address,
51:49
you couldn't walk in and find somebody had broken into
51:52
the store and now is selling your groceries or your
51:56
shirts or your hats or whatever it is and taking
51:59
all the money. But people misunderstand this stuff because we
52:05
don't lay out the words. The words are so important,
52:09
and we play with words that have multiple meanings, and
52:13
all the newsrooms love those triple and quadruple meaning words. No,
52:19
Donald Trump is not going to come after free speech
52:23
through the public airwaves and start taking people down because
52:27
but if you slander somebody, there are recompense for it.
52:31
And this is what he's talking about when he's talking
52:33
about things being illegal. You can't just go out there
52:37
and say Donald Trump is a sexist without proof. But
52:41
they do, and that's why he was pointing out all
52:43
those lawsuits that got settled in his favor, because people
52:47
were saying things that they had no proof ever happened.
52:51
Speaker 8: My name is Bobby.
52:52
Speaker 26: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
52:55
My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
52:58
weightlifting champion.
53:00
Speaker 7: I'm Sam.
53:00
Speaker 1: I'm a veteran.
53:01
Speaker 26: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
53:04
of and supporting my family.
53:05
Speaker 16: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
53:09
of their lives.
53:10
Speaker 4: I'm a veteran.
53:11
Speaker 2: My victory was going from homeless to all.
53:14
Speaker 16: At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get
53:17
the benefits they've earned.
53:19
Speaker 24: 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 4: My victory was proving that disability is not a limitation.
53:33
Speaker 24: 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.
53:40
Speaker 7: My victory is being able to be there for my family.
53:43
Speaker 16: When America's veterans win, we all win.
53:46
Speaker 8: Help us support more victories for veterans.
