- 0:36Speaker 1: It's the same thing, isn't it. Well, no, I don't
- 0:42mean you and me, but in your world it must
- 0:45be very similar to mine, where you sit there and say, oh, yes,
- 0:48you have a good night's sleep. You wake up, you
- 0:51feel refreshed, the coffee bruise you. You sit down, you say,
- 0:57we got tons of time, we're running early, everything is
- 1:00going great. And then if somebody says, hey it's time
- 1:03to go, what where did so Welcome into a Friday
- 1:08morning where Believe me when I say that I fancifully
- 1:11feel like the word morning derives from some ancient Greek
- 1:16word for very last minute. I am living the pain
- 1:22with you, player, but thank you for letting us be
- 1:25of service to you on this Friday morning where there's
- 1:28so much good. This is a fire hose Friday, without question,
- 1:32let's not forget our contest where now a week into
- 1:37ticket sales for Tryan Siberian Orchestra, my friends who kick
- 1:41off the Christmas season for me and millions of others
- 1:45every year. And if you've never you should. And now
- 1:48with the radio network and our friends at Talk Media
- 1:52Network distributing us to so many places, we have about
- 1:56fourteen cities where this show is heard and Trans Siberian
- 2:01Orchestra is playing, so they've given us tickets to those shows.
- 2:05And if you'd like to go to one of them
- 2:07and you're listening, go online to the website Joe Thomas
- 2:11in the Morning dot com and then there'll be a form.
- 2:15You see the link on the banner, click it, enter
- 2:19the form. We'll start doing drawings as the tour gets closer.
- 2:22I think they kick off in Youngstown, Wyoh there, Colorado
- 2:28Springs KPPF. That's kind of the early shows, so we'll
- 2:32be hitting those shows early on here on First Thing
- 2:35Today by Joe Thomas. And thanks again, as I mentioned,
- 2:40for allowing us to get into your life this morning
- 2:44and try to make sense of it all while you
- 2:46try to deal with all the last minute because that's
- 2:50where we all find ourselves this morning. So a couple
- 2:54of quick questions here, Can we stop with the Charlie Kirk.
- 2:59Can we declare a Charlie Kirk moratorium on people, both
- 3:03both as sailing and associating. I'm getting weary, almost as weary.
- 3:10And it's very difficult to be as weary as I
- 3:12am with the people who are a sailing Charlie Kirk,
- 3:19because if we on the conservative analysts side of the
- 3:25spectrum waited four days and started a sailing George Floyd,
- 3:31for example, we'd all be in prison somewhere. None of
- 3:38us would have jobs. And stop whining and vacating your
- 3:42lower intestine over Jimmy Kimmel. The president didn't fire him,
- 3:47the government didn't fire him. A private company fired him.
- 3:50I've been fired lots of times, and it happens. You
- 3:55bring disrepute to a company, and that's what they can
- 4:00do to you. But I'll tell you these folks, there's
- 4:04just almost as much weariness for those who are trying
- 4:07to fluff their own reputation by telling you how much
- 4:12they loved Charlie Kirk. Now that's wonderful. Let's move on.
- 4:19Let's look at legacy. Let's look at what's going on,
- 4:23because this norm busting event is going to turn bad,
- 4:28just like September eleventh did. Horse Cooper said it on
- 4:31this program, But we must get into our fire hose.
- 4:35Friday of first things, alliterative as we may be. This
- 4:41Sunday is the memorial service for Charlie Kirk in Arizona
- 4:46at the Cardinals football field, and the Secret Service has
- 4:49taking the lead in securing the stadium in Glendale, Arizona,
- 4:54because President Trump and Vice President Vance will both be there.
- 4:59The US Senate has passed a resolution declaring October fourteenth
- 5:03as Charlie Kirk National Day of Remembrance, that is his birthday.
- 5:09Turning point, USA has unanimously elected his widow, Erica as
- 5:13its new chief executive officer and Chairman of the Board,
- 5:18and according to reports, Walt Disney executives will be meeting
- 5:22with Jimmy Kimmel to discuss the future of the program
- 5:25he produces for them. According to Bloomberg, House Republicans blocked
- 5:29an effort by Congressman Roe Khana of California to subpoena
- 5:34FCC Commission Chair Brendan Carr over comments he made about
- 5:39affiliates not airing the program. Senate Republicans confirmed forty eight
- 5:44of President Trump's nominees, including Jonathan Morrison, new administrator of
- 5:49the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the US Ambassador
- 5:54to Greece now Kimberly Guilfoyle. US Supreme Court Thursday scheduled
- 5:59oral arguments for the day after election culmination day this year.
- 6:04In a case challenging the legality of Donald Trump's global tariffs,
- 6:09United States veto to UN Security Council resolution demanding an
- 6:13immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages,
- 6:18saying the effort did not go far enough in condemning
- 6:21Hamas President. Trump in England said he is seeking to
- 6:26reclaim control of Bagram Airfield, which was left to the
- 6:29Afghan government of the Taliban, Calling it a little breaking news,
- 6:34he said he's linking the move to leverage over China.
- 6:37We're trying to get it back because they, meaning the Taliban,
- 6:41needs things from US. US Vaccine Advisory Panel appointed by
- 6:47Robert F. Kennedy Junior, voted to remove the CDC recommendations
- 6:53that allow the use of combined measles, mumps, rubella varcella
- 6:57vaccines in children under four.
- 7:01Speaker 8: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
- 7:04people are actually happier with it.
- 7:06Speaker 9: That sounds like something to look into. And that's meta share.
- 7:10Speaker 8: Maybe you've heard joining meta share can save you or
- 7:12your family up to five hundred bucks a month, and.
- 7:15Speaker 9: That's huge, but it's also true. People are just happier
- 7:17with it.
- 7:18Speaker 8: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
- 7:21their values and what they believe in.
- 7:23Speaker 9: Meta share works too.
- 7:24Speaker 8: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
- 7:27shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
- 7:31People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.

- 7:37it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
- 7:39of your health care, whether you're self employed or part
- 7:42of the gig economy, or you just want to plan

- 7:59Speaker 6: Forty considered by most optimized Curcumin is one of the
- 8:07few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
- 8:12I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
- 8:18our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
- 8:22any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
- 8:26or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:50healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 10:01Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
- 10:03with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 2: I'm not only in awe of.
- 10:05Speaker 11: Their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
- 10:08Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
- 10:11or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
- 10:14or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
- 10:17secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
- 10:20jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
- 10:22in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
- 10:25by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
- 10:28wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 10:32they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
- 10:35us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
- 10:37whom suffer from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
- 10:41when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
- 10:43have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to
- 10:46society and help those in need. So please join me

- 13:24Speaker 2: Making Mornings great again? First thing today on the Tom
- 13:28Vinion Network by Joe Thomas.
- 13:30Speaker 1: My rock and roll bad.
- 13:33Speaker 7: You just gotten now that I have bad, I'm just
- 13:37time Richard and my.
- 13:38Speaker 9: Big brother Bob.
- 13:41Speaker 4: He's got a haircut, he's got a real Yeah.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Sorry, Jimmy.
- 13:47Speaker 10: Job, you're at me.
- 13:51Speaker 16: Stop.
- 13:51Speaker 1: You know you and I share Randy Lane as a
- 13:54coach in our background.
- 13:56Speaker 7: But I'm not falling for it.
- 14:07Speaker 1: The people who are out there nashing teeth and I'm sorry, Tucker,
- 14:11You're wrong. The government isn't doing this the thing and
- 14:18so getting lost in the Jimmy Kimmel part of this story.
- 14:23Oh we need already resolutions. Floor of the Horse House.
- 14:31What did Horace Cooper, the great jurist from Project twenty
- 14:34one tell us on Monday Mornings program about the beer?
- 14:39Speaker 16: That's the norm busting event of such a such a
- 14:44thing as this assassination will.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Come with consequences already regulations on free speech. The House
- 14:52wants to pass laws that will create free speech protections.
- 14:57Let's ask the college campuses how that's And I.
- 15:01Speaker 16: Wonder, are we now going to get a new round
- 15:05of online monitoring.
- 15:08Speaker 17: Of the ability to surveil so that if you go
- 15:15to a ballgame.
- 15:17Speaker 16: All of the people who attend will have to pass
- 15:21facial recognition. These are the kinds of things that when
- 15:26you see really consequently events happen, they have an effect
- 15:33on the.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Society, and the government will be quick to swoop in
- 15:37what I refer to derisively, and admittedly derisively because they
- 15:42deserve my derision. Podium jockeys, the ones who will ride
- 15:46their podium in like some sort of crazed government witch
- 15:53a little dogtail. Now fly in on their broom like
- 15:59podiums and PLoP themselves in front of TV cameras and
- 16:03proclaim how they're going to do all these things to
- 16:07protect your free speech, and you will guaran damn to you.
- 16:10And as I sit here today twenty two minutes after
- 16:14the hour five am Eastern time on September nineteenth, mark
- 16:20me down. None of these things will do anything more
- 16:24than quell free speech, monitor free speech, license speech, license journalism.
- 16:33This is what Rocanna and the rest of the keem
- 16:37Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, this is what they want. This
- 16:42is the gambit. Saul Olinsky, one oh one, don't let
- 16:53a crisis go to waste. What we've watched happen in
- 16:57the last five to seven years. Is hey, instead of
- 17:01waiting for a crisis, how about we start one. So
- 17:06when you look at the twenty or so people, Cash
- 17:09Patel says they're investigating. And you notice, right as Pam
- 17:16Bondi gets flack for saying that she wants to Hate
- 17:24Speech Commission within the Department of Justice, all of a
- 17:28sudden you're getting stories to the friendly media's waving red
- 17:35flags about Cash Patel and his authority within the FBI
- 17:41that Pam Bondi has no confidence in Cash Pattel. Well,
- 17:45that tells me a lot about Cash Pattel. Then, because
- 17:49you know, we've moved this red flag out of my
- 17:51way here, my friends in Florida can tell you all
- 17:53about her. Reactionary are the useful idiots of the authoritarians.
- 18:07So the reactionaries are out there speaking all the right things.
- 18:11And I'm not telling you not to be upset that
- 18:14Charlie Kirk was assassinated in front of thousands of people.
- 18:18That's why I called it terrorism. The morning we first
- 18:22convened after the assassination, I said, this is terrorism. How
- 18:27can you call it that? You know, pambody called it that.
- 18:30But she called it that for a different reason. She
- 18:32called it that because that comes with legal ramifications. I
- 18:36called it that because it's the damn what it is.
- 18:39It's meant to terrorize us, and it's meant to let
- 18:43us have Well, she's Donald Trump's attorney general, so it
- 18:46must be okay to No, it's not okay. It's never
- 18:52okay to let the government regulate any of this stuff.
- 18:55Shall not be infringed. Forwards. Forwards have kept Americans mostly
- 19:07free for two hundred and thirty eight years, shall not
- 19:12be infringed. How much simpler is the concept? And yeah,
- 19:19people are allowed to say dumb, hateful things full of misinformation,
- 19:24and guess what, they get to be fired. They get
- 19:27to be fired or have their production company kicked out.
- 19:31Because Jimmy Kimmel is different than Stephen Colbert. Stephen Colbert
- 19:36was an employee of CBS. Jimmy Kimmel actually produces his
- 19:40show and sells it to ABC. It's a different deal.
- 19:47So when Jimmy has lower ratings than Stephen Colbert even did,
- 19:57he can produce the show all he wants. ABC doesn't
- 19:59have to take it. And I can't believe I'm sitting
- 20:02here sounding like I'm defending the American broad corping castration.
- 20:06But the House of Mouse is not wrong in this.
- 20:11They're allowed to fire someone. And this is the even
- 20:15more dangerous subculture that's festering in this. And yeah, I
- 20:22am angry about this because I mean, oh, Jimmy Kimbble,
- 20:25it's free speech. No, Jimmy Kimmel's allowed to be fired.
- 20:29Rub dirt on it. Get back in the game. If
- 20:31you want to say something, go find somebody that'll hire
- 20:34you to say it. Don't sit here and tell me
- 20:36that the government is quelling free speech. I've been fired
- 20:44by plenty of people, and guess what. They've fired me
- 20:46for all the same reasons. They were protecting their company.
- 20:50Their company was more important than me. Great some people.
- 20:53It's cost them tens of thousands of dollars within minutes.
- 20:58And then they sued me, which is their right to
- 21:01do as well. They fired me, and believe me, I
- 21:04have a judge transcript of a judge saying to former
- 21:08employers of mine, you fired him, then you lost money,
- 21:11Yet you want me to punish him for this? Loved
- 21:15when judges testify for you, But guess what they can
- 21:22fire me? It wasn't a violation of the First Amendment
- 21:26that I got fired from a radio job. Suck it up, Jimmy,
- 21:32suck it up all the people. Oh, it's a free
- 21:34speech We need a government regulation. Go ask the college
- 21:38campus people that Charlie Kirk spoke to on a daily
- 21:41basis about free speech regulations and free speech zones that
- 21:46they said. Asked the folks at fire dot org about
- 21:49free speech zones regulated by the college administration and the
- 21:55student council. You have to get permission, but you gotta
- 21:58have free speech once we've given you permission to.

- 26:23Speaker 15: Did you know that more than half our household energy
- 26:25costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
- 26:29good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
- 26:34One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
- 26:36energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
- 26:40learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
- 26:43That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
- 26:47leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
- 26:50improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
- 26:54when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
- 26:57energy Star logo and read the energy guide label. And
- 27:00there are day to day things you can do. Lower
- 27:03your thermostat and winter and raise it in the summer,
- 27:06close fireplace stampers when they're not in use, and keep
- 27:09air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by

- 28:30Speaker 7: Be game.
- 28:45Speaker 1: Dangerous, dangerous, volatile scenarios. And and this text message Joe,
- 28:53I'm still grieving over Charlie. We haven't even watched the
- 28:57memorial and you're saying, stop feeling pain over what happened
- 29:03to Charlie Kirk. No, I'm not telling you too. I
- 29:06am mad about the fakers and the takers and the
- 29:11obvious skaters who want to come in cozy up to
- 29:15you in your grief and hold your hands and sell
- 29:18you some insurance policy. These are the people I'm mad
- 29:21about right now, and I feel like it's imperative on
- 29:25people like me to call them out for what they're doing.
- 29:29They're trying to gravy train themselves onto this tragedy, and
- 29:34it infuriates me because many of them do what I do,
- 29:39so therefore, guilt by association. I've been asked for years.
- 29:42I've done this several decades. Now, Oh, aren't you happy
- 29:46when you're competing? Radio stations suffer?
- 29:49Speaker 7: Hell no.
- 29:54Speaker 1: When somebody who does what I do fails in the
- 29:59ser us of their listeners, or is caught misrepresenting their
- 30:04service to their listeners or straight up conning their listeners,
- 30:09it ruins it for so many of us because we
- 30:14all live with the pos on our house. So every
- 30:18time some broadcaster like Jimmy Kimmel says something that gets
- 30:22his ass fired and then claims that the guy, oh,
- 30:25we need a free speech listen. You have a right
- 30:28to speak, you don't have a right to be listened to.
- 30:32Get over it. Jimmy Kimmel does not have a right
- 30:36to be listened to anymore than Joe Thomas in the
- 30:40morning does and it's a responsibility to you that we're
- 30:46supposed to be remembering. And eighty five percent of the
- 30:51United States live in counties that support Donald Trump. And
- 30:57so if you spend your whole night bashing Donald trum to,
- 31:01even if it's sixty percent of the country, you're sort
- 31:04of doing a disservice to your advertisers. You're telling sixty
- 31:09percent of the country, I don't want you listening, I
- 31:12don't want you tuning in. That doesn't sound like it's
- 31:15very helpful to your advertisers. Now, if you're like some
- 31:19of the major news network programs, it's not what you're
- 31:22there for. You're there to be the promotional activity or
- 31:27like Billy May's selling some oxy clean. So what you're
- 31:33doing this portion of CNN Newsnight brought to you by
- 31:37Big Pharma, So they don't care if they have any
- 31:42viewers because they've cast the check from Big Pharma. And
- 31:46now Big Farmer's decided, or Big Big Breakfast Cereal or
- 31:50Big ag or whoever it is that's paying for the
- 31:53program has decided. You know, I'm not getting my I'm
- 32:02not getting any return on investment from this. You don't
- 32:06have a right to a job. And that's the dangerous
- 32:09paradigm we're setting here, is that somewhere there's a bunch
- 32:13of people in Congress that are trying to create the
- 32:15lattice work that will build the Marxist mentality that you
- 32:20have a right to somebody hiring you. I mean, I've
- 32:24said billion. If I said there was a billion MP
- 32:28three's cassette tapes and CDs with applications for jobs with
- 32:34my name on it out there, I think I'm under
- 32:36selling it. Over a thirty plus year radio career, I've
- 32:41applied for a lot of jobs I didn't get, and
- 32:43I go stomping off to my congressman saying I have
- 32:46a rate to a job. Jimmy Kimmel has no right
- 32:49to a job. So let's stop pretending that this is
- 32:52a free speech case. This is an employer telling his
- 32:55employee to don't let the door hit him with a
- 32:58good lord split him. But you're if people are making
- 33:03it out to be a right to work kind of thing,
- 33:07be very careful because that then you will be required
- 33:11to hire people, and if you don't, you'll be violating
- 33:14their rights, and all of a sudden you're going to
- 33:16prison for a long time for civil rights violations because
- 33:20we've invented new rights, the Tim Kaine paradigm, government inventing
- 33:25rights like the right to a place to live. So
- 33:28I rented to this guy, Well did you rent to
- 33:30the other guy too? Well, I don't have a place
- 33:32for the other guy, So oh, you better build one,
- 33:35because they have a right to a house and they
- 33:37want to live where you are. But people are going
- 33:41to be going to prison left and right. Joe Stalin's
- 33:44going to have nothing on the US government if we're
- 33:46not careful. And Tucker Carlson, I'm sorry you're wrong. You're
- 33:51still butt hurt because Fox fired your ass too, And
- 33:55I'm sorry. I caught no time for left wingers or
- 34:00right wingers who hand nash and claim that somehow they
- 34:03have a right to be listened to. I don't have
- 34:06time for it, and you don't have time for it.
- 34:09Four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
- 34:11Good morning.
- 34:12Speaker 7: Who's this?
- 34:14Speaker 21: Hey? This is Moscow, Bob Joe, And you're absolutely totally
- 34:18wrong this time.
- 34:19Speaker 1: Okay, that's fine. I can accept that. Way about about how.
- 34:24Speaker 21: About Kimmel, because you're missing the bigger point. He's one
- 34:29of the privileged VIPs, the ones who are in the
- 34:33ind gang and the left, and so she's not allowed
- 34:36to be fired. You know, he was these wolf privileged
- 34:39guys that gets a participant ribbon soil.
- 34:42Speaker 1: You can't get rid of him. Oh I see, so
- 34:45I'm wrong with tongue in cheek. Yeah, you know, because
- 34:51I will accept if somebody says I don't agree with you.
- 34:54Speaker 7: I was.
- 34:54Speaker 1: I was at a ranked choice voting event that sounds
- 34:57like a page turner, doesn't it, with the former Attorney
- 35:00General of the Commonwealth of Virginia and a former delegate
- 35:04on opposite sides of it, and both of them had
- 35:08moments to say, Joe, I think you're wrong about that.
- 35:10So you know, I will accept those consults occasion. But
- 35:14now I get what you're saying. Well, yeah, but he is.
- 35:17This is the elitism. But there's a deeper, darker side
- 35:21to this. Oh well, he'll get a show. Netflix will
- 35:25throw some money at him, because apparently they have a
- 35:27pile of money like Heath Ledger and they're going to
- 35:30burn it in a warehouse. But the bigger implication is
- 35:35the idea that there is some right to have a
- 35:38job and that you cannot fire somebody. And this is
- 35:42a bigger This is like Horace Cooper is telling you
- 35:44about this tipping point.
- 35:48Speaker 21: Can I give you two great examples, Sure, Chris Pomo
- 35:52for what he did during COVID and you'll killed cause
- 35:56death and laughed and made a big joke about it.
- 35:59And so of your big overtime supposedly Catholic god searing people,
- 36:05you are making him found out to be like a
- 36:07god again and that everyone should give him everything you want. No,
- 36:10Chris Clomo should then squad out of the business and
- 36:13have him start back at ground one, just like all
- 36:16those other people. We don't have privileged friends in the
- 36:20networks and in the business world. They can get me
- 36:23into a better job. It's who you know and know
- 36:25you know. But yet they're making him up being what
- 36:28about Andrew Culomo. Andrew Coloma should be in jail for
- 36:31causing the death of all those elderly senior citizens that
- 36:34he sent back out.
- 36:36Speaker 7: Right, you're mixing up.
- 36:37Speaker 1: You're mixing up too quiet, hang on real quick, I
- 36:39just want to create. So you're mixing up the Colmo brothers.
- 36:43There's Andrew who's Mario Junior? And Fredo who is Chris
- 36:48so Chris is the media guy, and Andrew is his
- 36:51brother the governor.
- 36:52Speaker 21: No, no, but both terms stit together. The same thing
- 36:55with Kimmel. It's all because of who they know. They're
- 36:58Democrats and they're the VIP condition. They don't have to
- 37:02work to what they get. They're given it. Whereas you
- 37:06had to bust your butts to get where you're at.
- 37:08You didn't have anyone opening up the doors, giving you
- 37:10gifts and putting you in high places just because you
- 37:15had the connections.
- 37:16Speaker 1: To the powers to be well. And I appreciate that,
- 37:18but it trickles down and more. It's not just about
- 37:21media people. But let's take your business as a paradigm.
- 37:24So let's say somebody comes in and says I want
- 37:28ivermectin and you get it for them, and you're working
- 37:31for CVS, and CVS says that's verboten and they fire
- 37:36you for it. They're allowed to do that, but we're
- 37:38also you know, the country is allowed to know that
- 37:41CBS is against people getting a treatment for COVID nineteen
- 37:46that's readily available and not considered an illegal product. So
- 37:51you know, it's a balancing act because it's there is
- 37:54right and wrong and legal and not legal, and sometimes
- 37:59the two don't necess necessarily meet.
- 38:02Speaker 6: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent

- 44:32I'm so afraid of the Russians.
- 44:36Speaker 23: Afraid.
- 44:36Speaker 1: We've got friend Bob in Moscow is on with us,
- 44:41and Bob I appreciate you. Know we were talking about
- 44:44the right to work. Uh, there's a phrase we're in.
- 44:48Our flagship state is a right to work state, which
- 44:51means your ad will you can You have to be
- 44:58able to work, whether you join a union or not.
- 45:02It's not the same as you have a right to
- 45:04a job, which is where we're going with this. There's
- 45:09a subtext to this, never mind, there's the obvious fear
- 45:14of the free speech regulations will give you free speech
- 45:19as long as you meet these criteria. We've seen this.
- 45:23It is already happening on college campuses where you have
- 45:26quote free speech zones, and these free speech zones and
- 45:31the use of them are regulated by generally a division
- 45:37of the student council. So you have to go ask
- 45:41the student council for permission to use the free speech zone,
- 45:45otherwise your free speech can be verboten. So that's the
- 45:51obvious problem with this whole Jimmy Kimmel, and it's all
- 45:57based on whether you say something horrific and horrible and
- 46:01whether you should be allowed to We're going to visit
- 46:03with the great Nick Fredis, host of the Making the
- 46:06Argument podcast. Millions of followers, even Joe Rogan listens to
- 46:12Nick Fredis's podcast. He's coming up in a little bit.
- 46:15We're going to talk about it happening right here and
- 46:18amongst elected officials, because you know, in four days time
- 46:25we were told it's now we've now gone on too
- 46:28long in our grieving over our Charlie Kirk. And that's
- 46:33that's not what we were told about George Floyd or
- 46:35John Lewis. Let's you know, let's take it out of
- 46:38maybe a criminal and make it just John Lewis. What
- 46:41was the was sixty day long morning period for John Lewis.
- 46:46We had moments of silence and moments of recognition for
- 46:50John Lewis. He laid in state in the US capital.
- 46:55Huh interesting that and Charlie Kirk gets four days and
- 47:00we're told we've gone on too long. Anyway, Bob, the
- 47:02point I was making about pharmacies is, you know, if
- 47:06you if you sold somebody some ivermechtin that you had
- 47:09on the shelf and your pharmacy fired you, that's within
- 47:12their rights, but it's also within the rights of the
- 47:15world to know that, you know, a particular pharmacy chain
- 47:18doesn't want you to treat an illness, which is what
- 47:22ABC is reacting to. It's just the way the marketplace
- 47:25is supposed to work, right.
- 47:27Speaker 21: Right, and certain professions are considered at will employees, which
- 47:31means they can be fired at any time for any reason,
- 47:36and pharmacists fit into that category. You're an at will employee.
- 47:40Sure so doctors medicare you know the other thing getting
- 47:44back to Robert F. Kennedy said in the vaccine, he's
- 47:48absolutely rights. There's no reason you need to have all
- 47:51those vaccines in one shot. Put the responsibility and the
- 47:55parents to bring your kid in at the appropriate you know,
- 47:59time span and get.
- 48:01Speaker 1: Each shot exactly like Dona.
- 48:03Speaker 21: All the problems we're having.
- 48:05Speaker 1: Well and and this was and everyone's lost their collective
- 48:08battle control over this one as well, because they're out
- 48:11there saying he's making everyone unsafe, and he's doing you know,
- 48:16he's he has uh as as his commission was tasked
- 48:20to do. Come up and look and they say, well,
- 48:22you know, perhaps hitting a four year old or a
- 48:25three year old with all these shots all at once
- 48:28might not be a great idea for him, That's all
- 48:30they're saying. And and they don't trust parents enough. This
- 48:35is the technocrat mindset, is that we must tell you
- 48:39what to do, otherwise you're just going to make a
- 48:41bollocks of the whole thing.
- 48:44Speaker 21: Doesn't that sound like communism?
- 48:46Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 48:46Speaker 1: Yeah, you think you think now you know, now you're
- 48:50you're playing. Now you're playing with gas and now here's
- 48:54what I mean to play more.
- 48:55Speaker 21: Yet, look at what Democrats came up with their proposals,
- 49:01the government running and the spending. This the reblic Republicans
- 49:05should jump all over under their what it's about their
- 49:10number one thing, we must return our foreign aid and
- 49:14get back to getting other countries more money instead of
- 49:17taking care of our own. And the second thing I
- 49:20think that the Republicans should say. John should say, hey,
- 49:23great idea, We're going to add in what you want
- 49:25with Obamacare. And once the bills passed and the President
- 49:29signs it, every person in the government will be put
- 49:32on Obamacare. And let's see how fast they reel back
- 49:36their demand.
- 49:38Speaker 1: It was always the case with Obamacare. Hey, you're going
- 49:41to be on it. Oh no, I have the Senate
- 49:43of a healthcare plan I don't need. Yeah, that was
- 49:46always the case.
- 49:48Speaker 21: I can't afford to be on it because yes, because
- 49:51my income level now being retired, I get it for free.
- 49:55But I have a six thousand dollars deductible.
- 49:58Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, cow. Yeah it's free. It's free as
- 50:02long as it's some you know, enormous bill.
- 50:06Speaker 21: Yes, that's not what you're telling people. Yes, you can
- 50:10get to health care for free, but your deductible starts
- 50:13at six thousand dollars and it doesn't even after that
- 50:16cover all the treatments.
- 50:18Speaker 1: This is why they lost on Obamacare over the time,
- 50:20because people started waking up and realizing it.
- 50:23Speaker 21: Bob, why do you think I'm overseas because even if
- 50:27I lived in Germany, I can get better health care
- 50:29in Germany than in the United States for less.
- 50:32Speaker 1: Money's And again, ironically, because they're open more open minded
- 50:37about new treatments and finding ways to find new ways
- 50:41to treat illness rather than just pretend we're preventing them,
- 50:46which is all a give back to the insurance industry.
- 50:49Always good stuff, my friend, you have an awesome day,
- 50:52and maybe we'll touch him run well, we'll be here
- 50:55tomorrow morning. We'll be here tomorrow morning. If you're up early.
- 50:58Speaker 21: Maybe I may, but it might be sleeping at that time.
- 51:02Speaker 1: Good for you. I'll talk to you later, my friend, have.
- 51:06Speaker 16: A good day. Bye.
- 51:08Speaker 1: We give you the news and we want to find
- 51:10out how it's impacting you. And yes, we work on Saturday.
- 51:14Why because so do you. We have a few affiliates
- 51:18for the new Saturday Morning version. The first thing today
- 51:22if your station isn't one of them. Nice please, you know,
- 51:25don't be mean. Nobody's infringing free speech. This isn't a
- 51:30Jimmy Kimmel situation. If they want live discussion of the
- 51:35news of the day on a Saturday morning, which we provide,
- 51:40that's you know, we're all down with the boogie down.
- 51:44But nobody has a right to be listened to. Nobody
- 51:47has a right to a job. Now, employers have a
- 51:52responsibility not to fire you simply, oh, because of the
- 51:55color of your skin. But beware this reaction to public
- 52:07people losing their jobs school teachers. If you bring disrepute
- 52:16to your employer, they can fire you. In the same
- 52:23school teachers, I'm getting some emails about them. You go Florida, Texas,
- 52:28and Virginia looking into their credentials. These are the same
- 52:34ones who are punishing kids because they had an American
- 52:37flag on their shirt. So apparently it's punishing speech only
- 52:44of a certain timber and that's un American activities.
