"Online Scams" (Friday November 28 2025, Hour 4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: We'll do it making mornings great again. We'll do the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: first thing today on the Tunk Media Network. Thomas, I'll
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Thank you for joining us.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know, does anyone still get together? I mean,
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: this was always fascinating sidebar to the Thanksgiving holiday where
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: all the people who would get up at zero o'clock
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: in the morning and line up outside of the electronics
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: stores were always a big hit for toy stores as well.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: And of course with the online shopping that has faded,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: which is good because I was really getting concerned about
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: a society that would become driven to fisticuffs over a
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Tickle me Elmo doll.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: And it always dangerous.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: And I know that some of the police have been
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: telling me scammers are still out there now.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: They do it online.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: They'll find whatever the hottest toy is some you know,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Marvel Comics, Universe, whatever action figure or computer game or
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: computer system, and they'll claim that they have it for
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: you know, twenty percent of listed price and that kind
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: of thing. And it's always a chance to lose your
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: private information and get compromised, especially credit card data and
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: stuff like that. But at this point, even just getting
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: your credit card data that's not nearly as lucrative. Law
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: enforcement tells me that that just your information is more
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: valuable as database fodder than even your credit card information,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: that that only is going to get them so much money,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: as the one sheriff told me. So you know, even
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: the wealthiest person's only going to have so much that
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: they can hit their credit card for. They can make
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: millions off of selling and reselling data base information, especially
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: in the days of AI, which I was wondering about that,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: and I asked, but AI still can't get information until
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: you give it to them. And so just saying something
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: is in the cloud, doesn't you know, it doesn't mean
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: it's already corrupted, but you know it. It's out there,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: and it is corruptible, and it is gatherable and you
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: have to watch out for it. But it's it's it
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: isn't as dangerous as you know, losing your money. And
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: you know that's why everyone always tells me. Frank Abognail,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: most notable of catch me if you can, used to
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: come on the show all the time, and one of
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: the things he says is never buy anything with a
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: debit card, he said, because if you do, then you're
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: on the pay or you're on the arm for it yourself.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: If you pay with a credit card, well then you
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: know the bank is on the arm with you. Anyway,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: on this morning, we've got our first things. We must
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: give you the details, and then we can discuss, of course,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: the tragic story of the assault on the National Guards
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: troops have turned deadly as Sarah Beckstrom, twenty years old
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: out of West Virginia, died as a result of her
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: injuries suffered in the attack. The shooting attack by the
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Afghan National President Trump yesterday saying she was highly respected, young,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: magnificent person that had just passed away. Before his press conference,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: he did say that Andrew Wolf, the other guardsman, twenty
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: four years old, is still fighting for his life in DC.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: FBI director Cash Bettel said the assailants electronic devices and
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: other data ports were seized and his home and his
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: residences and Washington State and San Diego as part of
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: the investigation. The twenty nine year old apparently had served
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: with a group called NDSO three, one of five paramilitary
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: groups that the CIA ran in Afghanistan to do counter
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: terrorism missions against the Taliban, Al Qaeda and others. President
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Trump ordered a widespread review in reaction to this of
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: asylum cases approved under former President Joe Biden's administration and
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: green cards issued to citizens of nineteen countries. The second
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: largest county in the United States has established a permanent
• 4:39

• 4:50
  Speaker 3: dollars a month as guaranteed income as long as you
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: don't make more than sixty thousand. Trump administration has told

  Speaker 3: Thursday that his delegation is heading to Geneva to work
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: out formal discussion talks with the uas to bring an
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: end to the four year long war. He did say
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: on Wednesday, right before Thanksgiving, that they are open to
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: the plan as presented by President Trump. Senior Kremlin official
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: confirmed that that tweaked message that Tweaked offer is bringing
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: brought to Moscow by Steve Witkoff next week, and a
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: federal three judge panel in North Carolina rejected a challenge
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: to the redistricting maps in that count state on Wednesday,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Judges saying that the plaintiff's failed to show that the

  Speaker 7: Media Network, All natural and Free of artificial Intelligence.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: The visiting with the host of the Good for American podcast,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: former chair of the House Freedom concus. He is former
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Congressman Bob good So what you know now, you know
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: beyond that a couple of things that we and I
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: surely you know this fell under the heading of trying
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: to hide something on a holiday weekend when the judge
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: in Fulton County, Georgia dismissed the core, the cornerstone of
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: the whole Trump was trying to overthrow the twenty twenty election,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: tossed the case actually at Fanny Willis's replacement prosecutor, because
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: they had nothing on it, they had no evidence. Yet
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: they did it on Wednesday afternoon before Thanksgiving. But I
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: think people need to know this because there are still
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: people like Joey Behar out there with their platforms claiming
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: that Trumps still trying to overturn the twenty twenty election,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: and we have no cases that have proven any of
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: that to be true.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thankfully a judge who was not partisan, who was
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: not biased, recognized the lack of merits to the case
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: and did drop the case. To say, a prosecutor, not
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: a judge, who did that. And Sonnie Willis, of course
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: with her boyfriend who was billing the taxpayers for his
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: collusion with his coordination with Biden's Department of Injustice, which
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: was illegal to do, by the way, corrupt prosecutor with
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: a political agenda. Thankfully, justice has been serving it that,
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: you know, that's not the foundation of our legal system,
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: that we persecute people based on their politics, being based
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: on their political you know, persuasion. And so thankfully that
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: case has been dismissed.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Now well and in the court proceedings, and we have
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: to have faith in these things. But as these wind
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: through the courts. Now we have the Supreme Court, uh
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: and ju Justice Alito, you know, putting a pause on
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: the stop of Texas's court ordered redistricting.
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Now, we just yesterday had a court rule in favor
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: of North Carolina's redistricting maps. I still think there are
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: bigger problems and subsistent problems that lead to this rearranging
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: the deck chairs. But it's interesting to see that all
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: these redistricting situations in the red states are challenged and
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: then you're dismissed out of hat.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Yes, Republicans are just trying to catch up with what
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: Democrats have been doing for decades. You got California's already
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: forty three to nine, Will Texas is only twenty five
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: to twelve. Obviously, Republicans have not effectively successfully redistrict on
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: a high partian base in Texas like they have in California.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: New England is twenty one to zero. You know, you've
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: got states like Maine in New Hampshire which have near
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: fifty percent Republican voting population, but yet no congress members
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: from all of New England. Illinois is fourteen to three,
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Oregon is five to one, Washington is eight to two.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: New York's already did it last year last term with
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Kathy Hochel in registrict out three Republican congressional members. So
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Republicans need to unapologetically catch up for that. It's legal
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: unless it's race based, and there's no evidence that it's
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: race based in Texas. The other states need to not
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: apologize for it. Wield the power to draw districts and
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: a partisan basis when you have the power to do so,
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: because Democrats have been doing it for decades and you
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: can't unilaterally disarmed.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Speaking of Congress people, your compatriot from Congress, Eric Swallwell,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: has announced he's running for governor of California, and once
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: everyone to be able to vote with their phones. Did
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: you hear that story and what's your reaction to the
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: idea of voting with your phone?
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Bob?
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Democrats recognize that if they make it easy to cheat
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: in the voting process, they will come out ahead. Why
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: else would anyone want no security, no standards, no controls,
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: unless you want it to make it easy for folks
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: to cheat. And so Democrats continue to reveal who they
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: are when it comes to election standards and why they
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: want to make it easy for folks to be to
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: cheat the voting process because I know that they will
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: do better. They're better at cheating at elections than Republicans are,
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: that's for sure.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: So what's coming up this week and the Good for
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: America Podcast, Bob.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Well, we will undoubtedly visit the sad situation in DC,
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: what took place, and a question about who we led
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: into our country over these last previous now four years
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: now the last five years, if you will, before President
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Trump shut down the border, and we'll continue to look
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: at the spending crisis that we're going to face by
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: the end of January and what republic need to do
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: in addressing healthcare as well as the depth.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Will you please that Mike Johnson stood up and told
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: the President, no, we're not just going to extend Obamacare
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: subsidies for two more years just to get a deal done.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm glad that the Republicans haven't done it yet.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: I haven't concluded that Mike Johnson's not going to do
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: whatever the President tells him to do. And I am
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: concerned about Republicans making a bad deal when it comes
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: to Obamacare as they face a bit charms.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Well, you have a great weekend, sir, enjoy the family
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: and the recipes for leftover food and stuffing, sandwiches and
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: whatever else is on the menu, and we appreciate it
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: as always, and we'll talk to you again next week.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you. My friend my dad used to do that.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: And the sad thing is, you know, there's so many
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: stuffing recipes that include, you know, sausage or shrimp. I've
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: seen crab in there, so many different stuffing recipes. By
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: the way, you should cook it all separately. Pre seeing
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: it was a public surface message brought to you by
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: the emergency room doctors and nurses. We've seen too many cases.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Where it wasn't.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: But my mother's was simply bread and vegetables. There was
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: no meat in the stuffing that my mother used to make.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: It was just kind of basic breadcrumbs and vegetables. And
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: yet my father would still make sandwiches out of it,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: and I would look at them as a dad. It's
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: a bread sandwich. It's like, yeah, whatever, it's good. So
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: you know what your.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Traditions is your traditions.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: As we gather for this morning, and I appreciate more
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: folks being out there and tuning in for the stories,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: I wanted to go back a couple of reactions to
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: the question about Chicago and well, Cook County and this
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: this living wage, this permanent wage program, Terry writes in
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: to four three four eight eight two four two one
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: seven Terry, where is the money coming from, Joe, Well,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: it's coming from the rich people of Chicago. They've allowed,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: through regulation and restriction, gentrification of your neighborhood. So there
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: are people in Cook County that make a lot of
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: money and they have become the pinata that the Cook
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: County versions of Bernie Sanders are going out thereafter. And
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: what will happen, as we've seen happen before, is they
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: will leave and then Cook County will be left like
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: zefad mad money in New York looking for ways to
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: tax people.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: For stuff they don't do.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: In the city or the county but is adjunct to it.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, the creativity of the modern tax er is amazing.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: They will find ways to tax you if you just
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: are associated with the city, if you work with a company.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: For a great example. It's a very minor one. But
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: in Albemarle County, Virginia, it's the county around Charlottesville, much
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: of the way Cook County is around Chicago.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: They have very.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Restrictive business operation licensing and very expensive, very restrictive. So
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of businesses have moved out of the county
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: and into surrounding counties. So what the county decided to
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: do was they they've been asking the General Assembly here
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: in Virginia for permission to create a tax on anyone
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: who does business in the county, even if the business
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: isn't based in the county. If you serve customers from
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: that county, you'll be taxed for it. That's how they're
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: going to be paying for it, terry, by taxing people
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: who aren't even involved.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Coke County.

• 22:13
  Speaker 18: that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
• 22:15
  Speaker 18: be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could

• 24:31
  Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

  Speaker 22: Could I say, I'm a little pleas sweet.
• 28:40
  Speaker 14: We gotta go in and visit the.
• 28:44
  Speaker 9: We gotta go in and visit the bank.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta have to go visit the penguin, because
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: the penguin's gonna have to start. And believe me, Chicago
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: or Cook County will find a way to tax churches.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: So if the penguin thinks she's safe, Jake and Elwood
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: are going to have to mobilize. We found it here
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: in Charlottesville, where running short of money to pay for
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: the fact that they had created a completely imbalanced economy
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: with no economic opportunity for anyone, they started creating environmental taxes,
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: which were into a fungible account that they could spend
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: on anything. But these environmental taxes included things like impervious
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: surface fees. It colloquially became known as the rain tax.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: But if you had a paved area, including a roof,
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: if you had an area that was not bare soil
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: on your property, you're getting taxed on it for having
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: an impervious surface. And it was all supposed to be
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: about the environment, but it went into a fungible account
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: that the county could use for what ever. And yes,
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: that included taxes on churches.
• 30:06
  Speaker 14: We got to go in and visit the bank.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: So Cook County, when you you know Terry's text earlier,
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: it is just where is Cook County going to get
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: the money for this permanent And by the way, nothing
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: more dehumanizing the than the idea of permanent guaranteed income. No,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: it's only five hundred dollars a month. Now you start
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: getting cost of living increases. Then you know, once the
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Pandora's box is open, what's to stop somebody from marching
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: in and saying, but your honor might and follow me on.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: This go through section eight housing.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: And you know, as somebody who's got subsidized apartment, you
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: earn a little bit too much bo you're out. So
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: if you start to count on that five hundred dollars
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: a month, maybe you get lucky and you find some
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: five hundred dollars a month basement apartment that's casually associated
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: with housing regulations in your in your city. I chuckle
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: because when I was twenty years old, that was kind
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: of what you went out looking for, was like a
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: five hundred dollars a month basement apartment, you know, one room,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: you know that was your your styling. You actually had
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: electric service of your own were well, you were able
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: to get a phone line in there. That's great. You're
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: you're you're living the life. So, yeah, I don't know
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: what is it fifteen hundred dollars a month now, So this,
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: this guaranteed wage doesn't even come close to paying your rent.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: So I don't know what they think they're doing except
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: getting themselves re elected.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I'm a man of the people. I'm here to save
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: the people. No, you're not.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: You're here to save your job. So Cook County has
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: finally done it. It's part of the Cook County Promise
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: guaranteed income program.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: You must be eighteen years of older be a resident.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: And we had this Bob.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Bob, who's a native of Chicago, caught this and don't chuckle.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: Evanston and Joliet Jake out there listening to us, will
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: wjol and Joliet I hear you, but you're chuckling saying,
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: look at how crazy Cook County is. They will find
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: a way. This was my point in the last segment,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: they will find a way if all the businesses that
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: remain in Cook County move into Joliet or move into Evanstone,
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: move their headquarters out of Cook County because of the
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: crazy taxes that have to engage to pay for stuff
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: like this. They'll still come and get you because if
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: you have customers or they'll enact a congestion charge, So
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: if you drive in Cook County, you'll have to pay
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: them a congestion fee. That's another way they go and
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: get businesses that move out of high tax areas, high
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: regulation areas, high kickback areas, and they move out to
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: neighboring counties. Now, what you do is if you conduct
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: a transaction regarding somebody in Cook County, maybe you're a plumber,
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: a butcher, a baker, a candlestick maker, it doesn't matter.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: You move outside. Particularly interesting because they go after broadcasters
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: because they have viewers and or listeners within the county. Therefore,
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: they're trying to creatively come up with ways to tax
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: our broadcasts into these high tax areas, is including, but
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: not being limited to, removing the tax exemption for radio
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: broadcast advertising. So you know, let's say you know, the
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: company that makes the beat pills or whatever that sponsors
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: the network. That's a tax exemption to that. You want
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: to you want a nice tax exempt you know support,
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: call me. You can be a sponsor of this wonderful
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: program like our friends at the lunch Pail Foundation or
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: jcsgold dot com. That's I mean, that's a tax exempt thing.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: And every couple of years, especially when progressives get in charge,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: they try to take that away. But there's always ways
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: they can get their hand in your pocket. Even if
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: you think, well, I'll just move out of Cook County, well, no,
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: they'll still get you because you're guaranteed you're going to
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: have customers in Cook County, and they'll get you for
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: serving a customer in Cook County. There'll be a service
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: charge for every customer that you have in Cook County.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: And trust me, you will soon not have customers in
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: Cook County. And then what will happen is Cook County
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: will establish some Department of Social Services where you can
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: hire a plumber or an electrician from a government menu
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: of It'll be just like Obamacare. You'll have a list
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: of designated Cook County operators of all these different services.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: And eventually they'll all leave the business because you'll be
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: doing work for free, just like medicare doctors. And then
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: the county will just send out one of their public
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: works truck to check your plumbing or your gas hook
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: up or your you know, electric service.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: It's where we're.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: All being hurted to because it makes sense. Once once
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: you've started the floggings, you can't stop until morale improves.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Look at Canada and what they're suffering. Come Mark Carney.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: I have to fight the inclination to refer to him
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: as Art Carnee. He's not nearly as funny as Art
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Carne was, but Mark Carney the premiere of Canada. This
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: trade situation with the United States. There are you know,
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: seventy five percent of their exports come to the United States.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: And now what's he going to do? Is he going
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: to start?
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: You have to sell it to Spain or France or England. Heck,
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: you're part of England. Are you selling your steel to them?
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you?
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: And is it good? Bad or and different?

• 37:08
  Speaker 3: tax revenue, and these governments become addicted to it. I
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: was talking about this Saturday morning we're going to have
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: a special guest on from the Mercada Center. We're going
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: to talk about this addiction to spending. It's written a
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: piece about starving the government. Cutting the government taxes doesn't
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: actually reduce the government right now, because the government just
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: prints more money. So you cut the taxes because that
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: makes you popular, and you increase the spending because that
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: makes you popular, and we get more and more trillion
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: dollars in debt. Bob Good who is just not with
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: this chronicle time and time again. It's not a taxation problem.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: Even in bad economies that we've been in, we generate.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Trillions of dollars in tax collections. It's suspend.

  Speaker 2: You take on the intelligence community. They have six ways
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: from someday of getting back at you.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: Jerry writes in Joe, thanks goodness you're there on Thursday morning.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: Spent my Thanksgiving listening to you.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: I appreciate you actually being there live because a lot
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: of these stories wouldn't have.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: Gotten any air whatsoever.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: Who knows what will still be on the table by Monday,
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: when my other favorite talk show hosts get back to work.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: He it brings back a point I made on Thursday's program.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: He said, have you ever have you heard.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: Anything about what our vaunted congressional leaders with intelligence background
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: have to say about the assailiant assailant you mentioned specifically
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: Abigail Spanberger. I see that she's just been elected governor
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: of your state. Certainly she's had a statement to make
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: about the CIA agent that shot at the National Guard troops.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: Nothing from Elise Slatkin either. No, And that's the problem is,
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, all of these intel folks like
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: you know, well you Mark Kelly was a Navy guy
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: and an astronaut vaunted you know, I noticed he was
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: an astronaut until he needed to be a Navy guy again,
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: all the folks who participated in that Defy Illegal Orders video,
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: especially you know the eat Crow or whatever his name is,
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: the just crickets out of their office. When it comes
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: to now this CIA, I would call him asset.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: And you know why he shot up.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: Into this crowd of National Guard soldiers killing one now
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: and he's in custody. He was injured, but not seriously
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: and he's in custody and they have his electronic devices
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: now cash Betel says, But yeah, crickets from these intel
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: leaders when it comes to these assets, you know, is it?
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: And this is the postulate for you? And this colors
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: my questions when I ask these people this stuff.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: Is this a case of.
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: Training an attack dog and then forgetting and having a
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: turn on you? This this happens frequently when people train
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: attack dogs and the attack dog turns on them. We've
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: seen this with our proxy wars in grand political aspects,
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: where you know, we'll go in and we'll give the
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: Mohajedeen all sorts of money he chooses intentionally, so we'll give.
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I believe that was actually
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: the subject of one of the piers.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: It was Pierce Brosnan.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: I think it was one of the Pierce Prosenant Bond
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: movies where he was in Afghanistan helping the Mohajedeen. Really
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: double O m wants to talk to you about what
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: happened after that. Of course, the Mohajedeen rebranded themselves as
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: the Al Kaita. Not quite as smart as Hamas branding
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: themselves as a marginalized community, but it was perhaps the
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: first attempt at laundering their image. It is all these
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: vaunted intelligence officers that were so quick to go on
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: x and Instagram and make this video about violating illegal orders.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, you know, you're allowed to just become
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: so quiet. And yes, we brought that up yesterday intentionally.
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: I wanted to point out that we've got these intel now.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: They're in political office.
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: Where's the chairman of the intelligence community, of the ranking
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: member of the intelligence community, my own Mark Warner, where's
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: his statement on this asset of the CIA shooting these
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: National Guards troops?
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: Just you know, why not?
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: You know, you tell us that you've got all this
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: gravitas in the intelligence community, and now we have somebody
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: who had been you know, worked by the CIA.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: CIA asset.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: Bob Good was just telling us, you know, they went
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: on the tour of these bases, and supposedly all these
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: translators couldn't speak English, So what the hell are you translating?
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: Huh?
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: So the I think President Trump is right to reinvestigate
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: some of these folks. Maybe you'll find out all these
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: orders and these writs for these Afghan nationals, who are
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: you know, written with the auto pen anyway, and this
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: email from Maurice who come writes in from Evanston. He says,
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: thanks for mentioning the Chicago story. I appreciate it because
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: we all laugh about Cook County here much in the
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: way I'm sure it sounds like you guys laugh about Charlottesville.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: We laugh until we cry. But here's a question for you.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: What about this lawsuit? I saw Lindsey Graham's still saying
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: he's going to sue over Arctic frost and the surveillance
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: of these senators. You mentioned January sixth in your coverage
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: of the Fulton County election case being tossed out.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: But here we go again.
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: They're surveilling members of Congress. Keep in mind they were
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: surveilling Jim Jordan a year before January sixth. This Arctic
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: frost stuff goes beyond there. And here's my point.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: You're not.
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: You're not going to see criminal prosecutions because for some reason,
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: our legal community immediately says, oh, it's politicized. As soon
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: as somebody hangs Republican or Democrat around their neck, investigating
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: to see if they did anything wrong, goes away becau
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: because oh it's political. Now that's great. I mean John
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: Gotty should have figured this out. He should have just
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: run for you know, Brooklyn City council member, you know,
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: the benson Hurst representative on the city council. Yeah, I
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: after decades of woiking with the ute in benson Heist,
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: I want to serve on the city council.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: And I want my.
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: Lawyer here, Bruce Cutler is going to explain to you
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: how any of these persecutions by mister Jiulani is simply
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: politically motivated because.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: I am a Democrat.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: You know, he just completely missed the opportunity to get
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: out of jail free. Just say well, I'm a Democrat,
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: he's the Republican, So he's doing this for political reason,
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: and that's all.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: You're not going to have criminals, so.
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: You have to be able to I believe go after
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: these people civilly, And yes, that means US senators are
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: going to be suing the US government because the US
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: government allowed these rogue agents to do it. Now, and
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: I believe me, I know more about the civil tort
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: proceedings than i'd like to. Then what the government then
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: has to go do is go after their employees for
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: the money that it cost them.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: In this suit.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: But the government they were working for the US government
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: when they were conducting Arctic frosts, so the US government
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: does need to be on the hook of for it.
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I am
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: Joe Thomas. We will be here Saturday morning, hopefully you
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: will as well, and back at it Monday. Until then,
