"Two Years" (Tuesday October 7, 2025, Hour 1) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:04
Speaker 1: Hundred to do list. Putting the radio on is the
0:07
first thing today.
0:11
Speaker 2: George said, steal me stem you have a day at
0:16
least for work. When the sun comes up, drops a
0:18
pet of the scood. Joey, all the treasure needs no
0:26
one that Joe's as smile, he only as.
0:32
Speaker 3: Let it be. Joe.
0:34
Speaker 4: I bless you for being on the receiving end of
0:36
this program.
0:40
Speaker 5: You often know ahead of anyone else what's going on,
0:43
and that could be daunting. I understand that when people
0:46
come up and said, you, did you hear this story
0:49
that they saw somebody retweet on a retweet on an
0:53
Instagram post, you know, days after you and I discuss
0:57
it as we'll tell you the news and then we'll
1:01
tell you what we see inside the news. But most importantly,
1:04
I want to hear how the news is impacting you
1:07
where you are at four three four eight eight two
1:10
four to two one seven. The singularly most local part
1:14
of any radio station is you, and that's what we're
1:19
all about here on first thing today. Thank you for
1:23
letting us do this for you each and every morning.
1:27
Speaker 4: Can begin.
1:39
Speaker 5: Body cam, you know, and it's amazing to me about
1:43
the second anniversary of the attack on the concert and
1:49
is that we we I don't want to say still
1:54
because it's so recent, but when Hamas releases their own
2:00
bodycam footage to show what they were doing, and we
2:08
argue whether or not it really happened. And I understand
2:17
that branding is such an important part of what I do.
2:22
And I have said this before and I have said
2:25
it again, and I don't mean it to be an homage,
2:28
but it is gobsmacking to me. The rebranding. I mean,
2:32
this is like taking McDonald's and turning it into people's,
2:37
you know, thinking it's a vegan restaurant. The rebranding campaign
2:46
that Hamas undertook over the ten or so years prior
2:51
to maybe even less, maybe five, to rebrand themselves as
2:57
a marginalized community so that they could score points with
3:02
the American left, the American progressive who all you have
3:08
to do is say you're a marginalized community and you'll
3:12
instantly have half of all Democrats supporting you. And they
3:20
do it without the stop gap procedures of saying, hold
3:25
on a second, here, when did Hamas become a marginalized community?
3:32
But they did, and I don't know what ad agency
3:36
did it. B dn O, some Chicago based ad agency
3:41
or some big time ad agency on Madison Avenue. The
3:46
guys from mad Men were called by these mad men
3:51
and said, we need you to turn us into a
3:54
marginalized community. Not a terrorist is such a dirty word.
4:00
Can you get us made into marginalized community? Two years
4:07
and we argue the point even though they share the
4:10
videos and say, look at what we did on this
4:17
Tuesday morning. Are first things this morning? President Trump talking
4:25
about the chances of using National Guards troops in Portland
4:31
despite the judges ruling that we reported to you yesterday
4:35
using the Insurrection Act.
4:37
Speaker 6: Well, it is a way to get around it. If
4:39
we don't have to use it, I wouldn't use it.
4:42
If you take a look at what's been going on
4:44
in Portland, it's been going on for a long time,
4:46
and that's insurrection. I mean that's pure insurrection. And then
4:50
you have a governor get up and say there's absolutely
4:53
nothing wrong and you see these places at burning down.
4:56
Speaker 5: Speaking to Newsmax yesterday, Senator Chunk Rashley has reported that
5:02
the Biden administration's FBI targeted eight Republican senators as part
5:08
of an election related investigation. He called it quote worse
5:12
than Watergate. In a post on social media platform x,
5:16
Grassley shared what he described was a Bureau document showing
5:21
FBI agents conducting toll record analysis form of communications metadata
5:27
review on several GOP lawnmakers, including Senators Lindsey Graham of
5:33
South Carolina, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin,
5:37
and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. The Fraternal Order of Polices
5:43
demanding that Democrat candidate for Attorney General of Virginia j
5:48
Jones withdraw from the race on the wake of the
5:52
revelations of text messages saying that he would urinate on
5:56
the grave of Republican Speaker of the House Todd Gilbert
6:01
after putting two bullets in his head. In a letter
6:05
posted on social media, the State Police Union condemned the messages,
6:09
calling them unacceptable and disqualifying for someone seeking to be
6:14
the top prosecutor. President Trump has abruptly ended his diplomatic
6:22
efforts to come to a deal with Venezuela on drug
6:26
importing with President Nicholas Maduro. Rick Rinnell, the Special envoy
6:31
who had been leading months of negotiations with the Maduro administration,
6:37
was directed last week to halt all talks and former
6:43
FBI director James Comy will not testify before the House
6:47
Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and a letter he said
6:51
he doesn't possess any knowledge related to Jeffrey Epstein's case
6:56
and those are our first.
6:57
Speaker 7: Things this morning, business owners, are you paying high phone

8:03
Speaker 8: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
8:07
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
8:13
am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:18
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:22
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:26
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:31
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:36
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

9:02
Speaker 9: I'm Andrew Saul, Commission of Self Security.
9:05
Speaker 10: I'm here to warn you about telephone scammers pretending to
9:08
be government employees. Some of these scammers may say threatening
9:12
things like you will be arrested if you don't make
9:15
payments or provide personal information. Do not fall for these tricks.
9:20
These calls are not from US. Real Social security employees
9:25
will never threaten you for information or money.
9:28
Speaker 9: If you receive a call like this, hang up.
9:32
Speaker 10: Never give the call of your personal information like your
9:35
Social Security number or bank account, or send money in
9:38
any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers, or prepaid debit cards.
9:44
Report the call to our law enforcement on the Office
9:48
of the Inspector General at OIG dot SSA dot gov.
9:53
Speaker 9: Share this information with your friends and family.
9:58
Speaker 11: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah and it's always a boy.
10:01
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
wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
10:32
they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
10:35
us safe at airports They comfort returning veterans, some of
10:37
whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
10:41
when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
10:43
have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to
10:46
society and help those in need. So please join me
10:49
an American Humane and supporting our heroic working dogs and
10:52
all the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together.
10:55
Speaker 9: Go to American Humane dot org to learn more.
11:00
Speaker 12: Bruh, that's buzzed.
11:01
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 4: And now a speech.
11:06
Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
heart and brain.
11:12
Speaker 8: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 3: 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 14: Somebody call me a ride.
11:19
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 14: 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 when
12:00
you shop for a new appliance, look for the energy
12:03
Star logo and read the energy Guide label.
12:06
Speaker 5: And there are day to day things you can do.
12:08
Speaker 17: Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,
12:12
close fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep
12:15
air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by
12:18
reducing your energy waste, check out FTC dot gov slash green,
12:24
a tip from the Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer
12:27
protection agency.
12:29
Speaker 18: As a family member or friend, you may be the
12:32
first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35
going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
12:40
anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
12:43
but help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
12:48
at makethconnection dot net and learn how you can support
12:52
the veterans in your life. Treatment works, recovery is possible.
13:09
Speaker 1: Then making Mornings Great again. First thing today on the
13:16
Dunk Media Network by Joe Thomas. Oh, information honoring.
13:20
Speaker 4: Is really quite ferocious.
13:22
Speaker 19: It's right.
13:22
Speaker 15: I have to take them lines and make them sound precocious.
13:25
Speaker 4: Plus seeing England in Congress or and mainstream out that,
13:27
so this information's.
13:29
Speaker 1: Origins are slightly less atrocious.
13:33
Speaker 8: It's how you hide a delighted lie.
13:34
Speaker 15: It's how you hide a delighted lie.
13:36
Speaker 5: So I text messages and phone calls whatever you want
13:40
to do on the news of the day. And we've
13:42
got so much to get well. I act like having
13:46
a target rich environment would be an unusual thing, including
13:52
the New York dumbass who saw a fire and said, oh,
13:57
I have a way to distract from Jay Jones. I
14:02
want to get into that please. You know, because on
14:05
this anniversary, hamas President Trump saying closer, do we have
14:10
the clip for President on the possibility of a peace
14:14
deal in the Middle East?
14:20
Speaker 6: Well, I think we're getting very close. And you know,
14:23
it's been going on for There are those that say
14:26
three thousand years, let's say a couple of hundred years. Okay,
14:28
let's say a few centuries. But it's you know, many,
14:32
many years. It's been going on forever, and I think
14:35
we're very, very close to having a deal. We have
14:37
all of the Arab nations, we have all of the
14:39
Muslim nations, we have many, many just I mean, the
14:43
world is in favor of having this deal done. It's
14:45
a very specific deal, and it will bring peace to
14:49
the Middle East beyond Gaza. It'll bring peace to the
14:52
Middle East, and I think there's a lot of good
14:54
will being shown now. It's pretty amazing. Actually, if we
14:58
pull this one off, we've so.
15:02
Speaker 5: This text message came in during the commercial break, Terry
15:07
who says, how does the climate denier, vax anti vaxxer sorry,
15:14
sit there and not admit that this was an all
15:17
an IDF setup to be a premise to get the
15:21
world support for the genocide of the Palestinians using my
15:31
position on mandates regarding vaccines and the fraudileent science used
15:42
to con you out of billions and billions of dollars
15:45
into corporate pockets. And Terry, I don't know how you,
15:49
as an ardent progressive, it seems, by what you're saying here,
15:55
support the wealth transfer of billions of taxpayer dollars into
16:00
corporation pockets. But that's okay. We can discuss climate denialism later.
16:06
Your question about the IDF setup to gain world support
16:13
for genocide, which is the phrase that pays amongst those
16:18
who support the terrorists. I'm sorry the marginalized community, and
16:26
I'll give it the benefit of answering your question. Many
16:31
people in my industry would read your text and do
16:34
that with it and never read it, but yours is
16:37
a very commonly held feeling, so I do want to
16:41
address it that if that was the premise, Israel is
16:52
a bunch of well almost as dumbassy and as the
16:56
New York congressman that said that it was Trump's fault
16:59
that some judges house burned down, even though the fire
17:02
department said it was an accident and it was not arson.
17:08
Because if Israel's plan was to get worldwide support for
17:15
the genocide of the Palestinians, they're pretty dumb. If that
17:20
was the case, I know your your premise is that
17:23
this machiavellian maneuver was all concocted in the background to
17:28
create this this ground swell of world support for their
17:33
eradication of those that live and work in Israel with them.
17:38
But that's okay. We can leave that out as an
17:41
inconvenient truth as well. Let's see how I got the
17:44
climate denihilism back in here. You see, I'm working. I'm
17:50
working here. But if the premise, which which I hear
17:55
a lot, and I'm not going to deny that it
17:58
isn't out. There is a theory that the eye if
18:00
did this as a setup so that Israel would have
18:04
worldwide support for it. How's that working? If this was
18:10
their plan, It's been such an abject failure. It's like
18:14
the Chicago Bears plan to make the playoffs again. I mean,
18:19
how many times are we going to do the same
18:21
thing over and over again for our friends in Evanston?
18:25
I apologize, I needed Okay, the New York Jets, how
18:29
about that always going to trigger somebody? I mean forever
18:38
it was Dan Snyder and the Washington don't call them
18:42
the Redskins anymore. But I mean, in the history of
18:49
bad planning, if your premise is true, this is one
18:55
of the most galactically poorly thought out plans ever, and
19:03
yet you're ascribing it this dire conspiracy theory that's on
19:14
the same power of those people who have forgotten watching
19:18
was it? Tran Tan the architect of the World Trade
19:22
Center Towers, who I watched in nineteen seventy six explain
19:27
how they built the World Trade Center Towers so that
19:30
when they had to be demolished, they would come straight down.
19:37
That's okay, I mean, the premise in George Bush's mistakes
19:43
after that are clear, and we go through them. But
19:48
if Israel's plan was to kill a lot of their
19:51
own citizens or suborn the killing of a lot of
19:54
their own citizens to gain world support for an ethnic
20:02
cleansing of the Kaza Strip, that hasn't worked out so
20:09
well for them. So it's apparently not so brilliant of
20:13
a plan, Joel writes in Terry ignores all the innocens
20:19
slaughtered on ten seven twenty three. Ask and I don't
20:24
know gender. Terry is one of those names, Joel, So
20:27
he says, ask if she likes that happening in their
20:30
house or their neighborhood. I don't know, Joel. The question
20:37
is a reasonable one, because I'm watching more and more
20:41
people who are okay with doing violence against people that
20:47
they disagree with. See the text messages of Virginia's Attorney
20:52
General candidate Jay Jones. Simply because he didn't he didn't
20:58
have a great time in his two years the Virginia
21:01
General Assembly with Todd Gilbert as the Speaker of the
21:05
House and a Republican majority. So he decided all Republicans
21:10
deserve to be shot. And there's a deeper subtext to
21:14
the power of the Attorney General's office that I wrote
21:18
what I think is one of my best pieces for
21:21
the Daily Signal there it's still on the editor's desk.
21:25
We'll get into that on this second anniversary of the
21:30
invasion and the murders of israelis doing nothing more than
21:34
enjoying a concert. Email Joe, what about the civil rights
21:44
movement of the sixties? That violence was not by Martin
21:49
Luther King Junior, by those who sought to steal authority
21:53
from this And we hope for Jesse Jackson's recoveries in
21:57
the hospital those folks who sought it power afterward.
22:01
Speaker 20: And Brandt And her name is Shary I love. She's
22:04
a friend of mine whom we were just praying for
22:07
because of a surgery. She just went through.
22:09
Speaker 19: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
22:11
talk about all the time, which is meta share.
22:14
Speaker 15: That is right.
22:14
Speaker 20: Yeah, So what was your experience like with Meta Share
22:17
and healthcare.
22:18
Speaker 19: Ability honestly brandt seamless and what a blessing that is.
22:21
When you're already nervous about a health issue which I was,
22:24
members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
22:27
me tell you, having people pray.
22:29
Speaker 21: With you when you call in with your need, that
22:32
is just refreshing.
22:34
Speaker 19: Yes, that's what it is.
22:34
Speaker 20: What I keep telling people. People love meta share and
22:38
they love saving money. The typical family can save five
22:41
hundred dollars a month.
22:42
Speaker 19: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
22:46
and I mean different in a very very good way.
22:48
Speaker 9: It is good different.
22:49
Speaker 5: Call now.
22:50
Speaker 20: They're easy to talk to and you can get a
22:51
price within two minutes. Call eight five five Share forty.
22:55
That's eight five five s h a r E forty
22:58
eight five five share.
23:01
Speaker 7: Hi.
23:01
Speaker 22: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
23:06
Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
23:11
better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
23:15
up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
23:20
veterinary teams in exciting ways.
23:23
Speaker 9: We're using AI to.
23:24
Speaker 22: Develop personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
23:30
and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians.
23:33
Speaker 5: Can focus more on patients.
23:36
Speaker 22: But, as with any new technology, always keep a human
23:40
in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare. AI
23:45
is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for your
23:48
veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the center
23:53
of our profession. For more information on AI and veterinary medicine,

Speaker 1: Amaze your friends here in First Thing Today by Joe Thomas.
28:29
Speaker 5: So we come, folks lined up on the phones, and
28:32
I want to go back on a clip we had
28:35
about Israel and it's placed in the world. But I
28:39
understand one quick thing about where I come to from this.
28:42
This is a battle between East versus West, and President
28:46
Trump's position in this is one that has done in
28:50
many many other presidents previous, and it may bring him,
28:54
you know, into the same retirement community in the sheep
29:00
of international politics. But his approach has always been refreshing
29:07
in and of the fact that he approached dealing with
29:11
the Arab world and Israel as a trading opportunity, and
29:18
so unlike peace deals, which you crumble up as quickly
29:24
as you can crumble up some text message you don't
29:26
want to read, or your producer would say, don't read
29:29
that one. Whatever it may be. They do, They come,
29:35
and they go, and they rebrand themselves as marginalized communities,
29:39
and so on and so forth down the line. I
29:41
know this because you have the gay community supporting a
29:47
political organization that will kill them as. Last week there
29:52
was a video we never used it, so wonderful video
29:55
from I think just the news. Guy was interviewing a
29:59
college co ed I presume lesbian because she was talking
30:04
about LGBTQ for Hamas, and he said to her, bless
30:10
him for having those ISID. You know they're going to
30:12
kill you because they don't believe in your lifestyle. And
30:16
she said, that's okay because they've been oppressed. After I
30:23
finished cleaning my jaw up off the floor, but I said,
30:26
this is the gas lighting. This is this is how
30:29
far the gas lighting has gone. People will commit their
30:32
own version of you know, I guess it's not suicide
30:38
if you hand yourself over to a group that swears
30:41
to kill you simply because you're gay. But it's it's
30:46
your life, right. Bob's on the phone in Moscow said
30:51
he wanted to talk about something to do with guns. Bob,
30:54
go ahead, you have the floor.
30:57
Speaker 25: Yes, with gun laws. We have that one candidate that's
31:02
running for office that fantasized about killing another congressman, his
31:07
wife and families. Right, does he own a gun? And
31:11
if yes, why so because technically he needs psychiatric help
31:16
from the medical community. Because anyone that is visitizing about
31:20
killing someone should not own a gun and should not
31:23
be able to access a gun. Therefore, any security detail
31:28
that he has should not allow to carry arms for
31:32
fear that he may get a hold of a gun
31:34
and kill an innocent little child.
31:38
Speaker 5: Interesting red flag call on it, Yes, you know, because
31:43
there's there's harm potentially there and we need authorities to
31:47
come in just the way the progressives want red flags
31:51
to be used. This guy has supported dangerous rhetoric. We
31:55
better send in the cops and get his guns away
31:58
from him. If he owns any, I don't don't know
32:00
if he does or not.
32:01
Speaker 11: Not well.
32:03
Speaker 25: But the point is is he threatened someone. He's fantasized
32:07
about killing someone that is psychotic. So therefore they need
32:13
to know one if he owns a gun. If he
32:16
owns a gun, he should immediately have that gun and
32:19
any access to guns taken away from him to save
32:24
all the Progressives and Democrats because he's the one that's
32:28
going to go.
32:28
Speaker 5: Out and kill them, right. I mean, he's obviously a
32:31
danger to himself and others. It's a great point, Bob.
32:34
I appreciate it, my friend.
32:37
Speaker 25: They have a great day.
32:40
Speaker 5: And I mentioned earlier I wrote a piece about this
32:44
that details one of the real troubling things. We'll get
32:46
into it when we come back from break. Yesterday we
32:50
got a chance to sit down member of the Delegation
32:55
to Congress of the Armed Forces Committee that the Department
32:59
the Government Oversight Committee as well, John McGuire, Virginia Congressman
33:05
that doesn't fantasize about killing political opponents. He told us
33:11
about his visit just earlier this year to Israel, this week.
33:19
Speaker 26: Of August in Israel, and I went into the West
33:22
Bank and I saw videos, videos made by those Hamas
33:27
terror that came into Israel on October seventh, twenty twenty three,
33:33
their own videos, and it was unspeakable evil.
33:36
Speaker 27: They would get teenage kids to log into their Facebook
33:39
live and then kill them in front of their audience
33:41
and laugh while they were video in it. They would
33:44
shoot teenagers in the back while they were running and
33:47
just I mean, just terrible. I mean they would cut
33:50
body parts off and play soccer with them on this
33:53
Noova field and laugh. I can't, I can't. I don't
33:56
know what they're gonna do. I certainly want peace, but
33:58
when I see these universities yelling free Palestine, they don't
34:03
even know what Palestine is. They don't know where it is.
34:05
I don't know if it's Palestinian, Jews, Muslims, or Christians.
34:10
Speaker 5: It's unspeakable even what they have.
34:12
Speaker 27: And you know they talk about border walls. I've been
34:14
to our border wall in Arizona a couple of months ago,
34:17
and it's like one vertical wall of these metal beams.
34:22
But you want to google the border wall between Egypt
34:27
and Gaza, it's like six walls in a row. Because
34:30
they know how dangerous those people are, and when they
34:33
were committing these terrible acts, there's too many people are
34:36
so there. They were celebrating in the streets how many
34:40
Jews they killed, you.
34:42
Speaker 5: Know, And John brought up a good point, and that
34:44
was late in yesterday's program. You can listen to the
34:47
whole interview in the podcast channel distributed through Spotify, Apple Podcasts,
34:54
you name it Audible. iHeart Deezer. I get myself going
35:00
down this listen. I don't want to leave anyone out.
35:02
But if you go to Joe Thomas in the Morning
35:04
dot com, there's a list of menu of the ones
35:07
you can choose from whichever one you particularly like. No,
35:13
Disney Plus isn't one of them. I don't know. Maybe
35:17
Disney Plus bought one of them. I don't know. That
35:21
wouldn't be beyond them. But he brings up the Arab
35:26
world's view of groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, and outside
35:31
of places like Syria where they bring him in Afghanistan
35:35
bring them in to be their military for hire. They're
35:41
state police for hire, just like Venezuela uses MS thirteen.
35:47
Is there ersatz military. We saw what happened in Egypt
35:54
during the Arab Spring. President Obama musing a in the
35:59
most frightening contexts, musing that Hosny Mobarik's ability to shut
36:04
down the Internet was something he would really wish he
36:08
had an oval office, and nobody cared about that. President
36:16
of the United States mused that he really would like
36:18
to be What if Donald Trump mused that he would
36:21
really enjoy shutting the Internet down. You think they'd bring
36:26
that up on Chris Hayes talk about that a little
36:29
bit on m message. You think, yeah. But along with that,
36:35
Obama supported the Arab Spring, and within months the Egyptians
36:43
were uprising again against it because they realized what authoritarianism
36:48
was coming along with it. It was as bad as
36:51
the French revolutions were. This text comes in, asks Sweden
37:00
in Germany, how happy they are to have the refugees.
37:04
Look at the crimes there and they've taken over entire cities,
37:08
because there's and we've talked with you, and we really
37:12
should get Zudi Jasser back on in here the American
37:16
Islamic Forum for Democracy, because I have dear friends Muslim
37:21
who are very concerned that people are seeing Hamas as
37:28
them and we have to be careful of going that
37:34
route as well. And this is why I always harken
37:40
back to the simplest premise thou shalt not murder. You
37:45
can disagree, you can go to a different church than me,
37:47
you can whatever. You You don't have a right to
37:50
kill me because we disagree on something. You've got a
37:57
seat by the fire and brimstone if you try. Hi.
38:02
Speaker 14: It's Mark Falter, hosts of the Financial Fitness Show. I
38:05
strongly believe that no one should ever pay one penny
38:08
more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately, for
38:13
most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case. Why
38:17
because most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway
38:21
than trying to ensure they're going to pay less than taxes.
38:24
My Financial Fitness team has put together some materials that
38:27
I know are going to help you. It's the Tax
38:29
Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
38:35
top ten ways to pay less than taxes, and an

Speaker 15: You were strolling along in Goodwill when just past that
40:05
mid century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them
40:08
nestled in their display case, miniature donut earrings. Oh yes, yes,
40:16

40:20
made into your favorite form of ear candy. Oh my,
40:24

Speaker 28: That's the sugary center of shopping success, for this is goodwill,

And with every item you buy, you fund local job
40:41

40:47
earrings and bring home.
40:49
Speaker 15: So much good to your community. Goodwill, bring good home.
40:57
Speaker 23: Exercise is hard, so was mad to a healthy diet.
41:02
Of course, neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly,
41:07
type two diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a
41:10
million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths
41:14
are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
41:18
healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about
41:23
your risk for type two diabetes and heart disease, and
41:26
if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The
41:30
reason so many die is because not enough are willing
41:34
to change. You can stop it, starting right now. It's
41:38
your life. Listen to your doctor, eat better, get moving,

45:27
This email comes in uh and it says, Joe, I've
45:33
noted over the last few months that I've been listening
45:36
to your program that your music seems to have some
45:40
intentionality to it. What was the point of the superstition?
45:45
Are you saying the Islamic faith is a superstition? No,
45:50
Marxism is. Islamic faith is not a superstition. Marxism is,
45:58
and unfortunately one has been co opted by the other.
46:04
It began with the nationalist Socialists and Rommel and the
46:08
rest of his Desert brigade coming down and getting with
46:11
the King of Palestine saying, hey, you know what, we're
46:17
trying to round up all the Jews you want to help,
46:21
And ever since then, even you know, once Hitler took
46:24
the basement way out, they were sort of left like, well,
46:28
you know, we have all this stuff and we're all
46:30
this encouragement to kill Jews, and then they went and
46:34
stuck a Jewish state here. Damn Marxism, authoritarianism. That's the
46:46
superstition that I was getting at there, and apologies for that,
46:50
but thanks for playing along at home. I mean, I
46:52
looking out for you paying attention there. I told you.
46:56
I've written a couple of pieces. They haven't published yet,
46:58
and I don't necessarily want him to be out of order,
47:01
but one's about these school board candidates and the violence
47:05
they purport at Daily Signal dot com. And another is
47:11
and apparently some of the stuff I say needs to
47:14
go through legal a little bit more than you know.
47:16
But this is a piece that I just filed yesterday,
47:22
and it goes into the reason not just for the
47:26
political oh the Democrat loss, but the real darkness that
47:33
could descend sort of along the line of what Bob
47:36
was getting at in his phone call. So I filed
47:39
this story. Much has already been written regarding the case
47:43
of Jay Jones, Democratic Party candidate for the job of
47:46
being Virginia's Attorney General, Joe Thomas Wright. Our addition to
47:51
the volumes concerns the job that he wants, a position
47:55
in artfully referred to as the Commonwealth's top cop, spearheading
48:01
investigations and acting on behalf of the Virginia tax payers.
48:06
The job can wield enormous power for good or ill.
48:11
A short tangent to explain why mister Jones' interest in
48:15
relieving himselves on Republican leaders like Todd Gilbert's graves and
48:19
choosing to shoot Gilbert if faced with the choice between Hitler,
48:23
Polpot and the former Virginia Speaker of the House. Several
48:27
years ago, a group called the Government Accountability and Oversight.
48:32
You find them at govoverside dot org published a report
48:36
titled law Enforcement for Rent. That report is also available
48:41
at govoverside dot org. The report details what they discovered
48:46
in their investigation into attorneys that were being offered to
48:50
various attorneys general to quote investigate groups that fund climate deniers.
48:58
In general, it shows that the Office of Attorney General
49:01
has the very real power to target enemies. The texts
49:06
that were given to the National Review by Delegate Carrie
49:09
Coiner detail a man that could be driven to such
49:12
hatreds simply because he felt the GOP leader's condolences on
49:17
the passing of Democratic Delegate Joe Johnson were disingenuous bringing
49:24
Jones to right, if those guys die before me, I
49:26
will go to their funerals and urinate another word for
49:32
urinate on their graves, so as to send them out
49:36
a wash in something. When Coyner responds to him and
49:43
says please stop, he says, damn, these were supposed to
49:46
go to Mark. We don't know what Mark this refers to,
49:50
but he continues to make the comment about shooting Gilbert
49:53
over Hitler and Pollpot. According to the National Review piece,
49:58
Jones called Coiner and a explain that quote, public policy
50:02
only changes when policymakers feel pain themselves, such as they
50:07
felt by parents when their children die from gun violence.
50:12
So you see it's not just oh, I was drunk
50:14
and I posted something. He calls the other delegate and
50:18
explains why he said it. Current Speaker Don Scott condemned
50:26
the text via statement, but says we have to be
50:29
mature in our thinking about how we vote. We can't
50:32
get distracted because they want us to get distracted by
50:36
the text, messages here or something else. Stay focused. Other
50:41
Virginia Democrat leaders like Louise Lucas wrote, Jay must take
50:46
accountability for his actions, but we will not allow this
50:49
moment to distract from the urgent fight we have for
50:53
Virginia's future. The word of the day must be distracted.
50:59
What of the future? Is it a stretch to hearken
51:03
back to what the government accountability an oversight report found
51:07
was attempted during Mark Herring's two terms. Also a Democrat,
51:13
and imagine that an enemy's list written by the Southern
51:16
Poverty Law Center, Greenpeace, or any Soros group like Open
51:20
Society filled with organizations like the Family Foundation, the Virginia
51:25
Education Opportunity Alliance, or Moms for Liberty to be targeted
51:29
by an age that imagines such behavior just because he
51:33
disagrees with someone's opinion. Faster than you can say, crossfire, hurricane,
51:39
people's homes could be the subject of raids at the
51:42
crack of dawn, or cell tower pings could be used
51:45
to build rico cases against political opposition. Yes, all right,
51:50
I know both those things have happened already. That's the point.
51:54
The authoritarians already know. How many people, even some Democrat
51:59
writers like Chris Graham of the Augusta Free Press, are
52:02
insisting that Jones is disqualified because of what he said.
52:06
Though what he thinks about people, he disagrees with politically,
52:11
coupled with the punitive power of the Attorney General's office
52:15
is what should disqualify him to Virginians. And these are
52:20
all bona phides. I mean, this is the enemies list
52:24
Bloomberg's paid for lawyers. In some states like Massachusetts still
52:30
have these Bloomberg funded climate lawyers working under the massthead
52:35
of your state attorney's general going out after people who
52:41
give money to political groups, dark money, if you will, whatever.
52:48
This is why J. Jones is dangerous.
52:51
Speaker 29: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
52:54
turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
52:57
Speaker 6: It was Metishet that came through for us and there
52:59
was there's no hassles, there was no problem.
53:02
Speaker 29: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
53:05
of such an incredible ministry.
53:07
Speaker 21: Meta Share is a Biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
53:11
share each other's medical expenses.
53:13
Speaker 16: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
53:17
with you through the hardest times of your life.
53:20
Speaker 21: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years
53:24
old and members have shared over eight billion dollars of
53:27
each other's medical bills.
53:28
Speaker 9: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
53:31
You can focus on on supporting other people.
53:33
Speaker 21: Medashare is affordable, Medishare is biblical.
53:36
Speaker 12: Medishare is family.
53:37
Speaker 21: Join thousands of Christians who can help you save on
53:40
your healthcare and support your family when you need it.
53:43
Call eight five five share forty eight five five share forty.
53:48
That's eight five to five share forty
