"Do the Math. 535 People, Times 7 Vices Each..." (Monday November 17, 2025, Hour 4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:02
Speaker 1: On a need to know basis, because you need to
0:05
Speaker 1: know the first thing today.
0:07
Speaker 2: Your words to steal.
0:09
Speaker 3: Men have a day at least for work when the
0:14
Speaker 3: sun comes up, drops a kid to school of.
0:18
Speaker 4: Joy Gene all the choses seven.
0:21
Speaker 5: Needs no one that Joe's a smile.
0:25
Speaker 4: He only as.
0:30
Speaker 6: Joe.
0:31
Speaker 7: No extra charge, no grift involved. I tell you what
0:37
Speaker 7: went on yesterday. We'll even give you the analysis of
0:40
Speaker 7: what went on yesterday, free of charge. And then even
0:43
Speaker 7: beyond that, just as a bonus, you get to call
0:47
Speaker 7: in and let us know how it's impacting you where
0:50
Speaker 7: you are, no extra charge, not like the Ukrainian energy industry,
0:55
Speaker 7: where a fifteen percent up charge is just the price
0:58
Speaker 7: of knowing a guy who knows a guy.
1:01
Speaker 8: Uh.
1:01
Speaker 7: There. That's the story that has consumed much of us.
1:04
Speaker 7: But it's because of the corruptibility of us. It was
1:09
Speaker 7: what Madison understood when he tried to lay out a
1:12
Speaker 7: rule book for a Lockeyan society. We hold these truths
1:20
Speaker 7: to be self evident, that all men are created equal,
1:23
Speaker 7: and they're endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights,
1:27
Speaker 7: and that amongst those rights are life, liberty, and property technically,
1:33
Speaker 7: and that to secure these rights. This is the important
1:36
Speaker 7: bit to secure these rights. See otherwise it's anarchy. Just
1:40
Speaker 7: I'm gonna whoever has the guns wins. It's like, you know,
1:43
Speaker 7: Middle Eastern failed states. To secure these rights, to make
1:50
Speaker 7: sure that nobody takes your rights from you. Governments are
1:54
Speaker 7: instituted amongst men, deriving their just powers from the governed.
1:59
Speaker 7: But they put in restrictions knowing full well that each
2:03
Speaker 7: and every person that was going to be elected to
2:05
Speaker 7: American government would come in with some manner of pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath,
2:12
Speaker 7: or sloth, and often an unhealthy combination of multiples of
2:18
Speaker 7: those seven deadly vices. So the best way to keep
2:23
Speaker 7: those corrupting influences from crippling a free nation, you limit
2:29
Speaker 7: how much these people can do with their power. That's it,
2:34
Speaker 7: and that's all they tried to do. But with the
2:36
Speaker 7: perversion of the Commerce Clause after the Civil War, we
2:42
Speaker 7: were able to start corrupting the system. We were able
2:48
Speaker 7: to the new Dixiecrats, not the ones that wanted to
2:51
Speaker 7: protect slavery, the ones that realized, oh there was good
2:54
Speaker 7: money to be being hooked in with the government, the
3:02
Speaker 7: ones that invented cloture, and you know all the different
3:07
Speaker 7: things that go in and around filibuster. Those folks realized, oh,
3:12
Speaker 7: well if we if we read this commerce caluse this way,
3:16
Speaker 7: we can start regulating all these businesses. And then I say,
3:20
Speaker 7: I say, I say, look at me when I'm talking
3:22
Speaker 7: to your son. That's fifteen percent up front. Well, you
3:26
Speaker 7: could pay the fee of the agency later. I want
3:29
Speaker 7: my fifteen percent. Now. The story we're referencing is out
3:34
Speaker 7: of Ukraine, where apparently an old friend and business partner
3:40
Speaker 7: of President Zelensky is in trouble for embezzling one hundred
3:45
Speaker 7: million dollars from those who sought contracts with Ukraine's state
3:50
Speaker 7: owned nuclear power company. Because Ukraine Nuclear Power has never
3:55
Speaker 7: had a problem with corruption before. Tim Or Mindik, who
3:59
Speaker 7: was once business partner with Zelenski, is identified by their
4:03
Speaker 7: anti corruption watchdogs. And there's a job you can imagine
4:07
Speaker 7: the interesting sidebars of that in Ukraine as being the
4:10
Speaker 7: orchestrator of a scheme involving top officials in which he
4:15
Speaker 7: sold access to decision makers for contracts for an upprice
4:20
Speaker 7: of about fifteen percent. President Trump said Sunday while flying
4:25
Speaker 7: back from Meri Lago on air Force one that Venezuelan
4:29
Speaker 7: President Nicholas Maduro has called and said, yeah about the
4:33
Speaker 7: aircraft carrier and its strikeforce in my harbor. They want
4:37
Speaker 7: to have talks with the United States about settling this
4:42
Speaker 7: whole situation with the drug runners that the US law
4:47
Speaker 7: enforcement have connected directly to his administration. Meanwhile, US marines
4:53
Speaker 7: protecting the American Embassy in Haiti exchange gunfire with suspected
4:58
Speaker 7: gang members last week. A Marine spokesperson said, just a
5:04
Speaker 7: little over two hours ago, the Federal Aviation Administration's freight
5:09
Speaker 7: reduction emergency order expired, so all flights can go back
5:13
Speaker 7: to their normally scheduled operations following recommendations from the FAA
5:18
Speaker 7: Safety Team after seeing a remarkable recovery in the health
5:23
Speaker 7: of air traffic controls controllers who were coming back to work,
5:29
Speaker 7: President Trump said House Republicans should vote to release Jeffrey
5:33
Speaker 7: Epstein files immediately. We have nothing to hide, he said
5:38
Speaker 7: again on Air Force one, and it's time to move
5:40
Speaker 7: on from this Democrat hoax purpose traded by radical left
5:45
Speaker 7: lunatics in order to deflect from the great success of
5:48
Speaker 7: the Republican Party. And he is confirmed to the press
5:54
Speaker 7: that he is trying to decide what level of lawsuit
5:57
Speaker 7: he will file against the British Broadcasting Corporation over the
6:02
Speaker 7: Panorama broadcast that used a heavily edited version of a
6:06
Speaker 7: January sixth speech he delivered, leaving out the part where
6:11
Speaker 7: he said specifically, go and be peaceful when you go
6:14
Speaker 7: by the capitol. Five billion dollars could be the top
6:18
Speaker 7: end of that. And because we don't have enough Democrats
6:23
Speaker 7: socialist mayors, Ray Wong launched her campaign for Los Angeles
6:28
Speaker 7: mayor against incumbent Karen Dass. At Fishburn Military School, there's
6:36
Speaker 7: no hiding here. They don't believe in one size fits
6:40
Speaker 7: all education. They believe in structure, brotherhood and unlocking potential.

8:04
Speaker 9: Considered by most. Optimized curcumin is one of the few
8:07
Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
8:13
Speaker 9: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:18
Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:22
Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:26
Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:32
Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:37
Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer and
8:46
Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
Speaker 9: healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

Speaker 10: I'm Andrew Saul, Commission of Self Security. I'm here to
9:05
Speaker 10: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
9:10
Speaker 10: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
9:13
Speaker 10: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
9:17
Speaker 10: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
9:21
Speaker 10: are not from US. Real solid security employees will never
9:26
Speaker 10: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
9:29
Speaker 10: call like this, hang up. Never give the call of
9:33
Speaker 10: your personal information like your Social Security number or bank account,
9:38
Speaker 10: or send money in any form cash, gift.
9:40
Speaker 4: Cards, wire transfers, or prepaid debit cards.
9:44
Speaker 10: Report the call to our law enforcement on the Office
9:48
Speaker 10: of the Inspector General at OIG dot SSA dot gov.
9:53
Speaker 4: Share this information with your friends and family.
9:58
Speaker 11: Hirybody, I'm Jack. It's always a boy. Growing up on
10:01
Speaker 11: a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals. I'm
10:04
Speaker 11: not only in awe of their beauty and kindness, but
10:06
Speaker 11: also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds
10:09
Speaker 11: who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who
10:13
Speaker 11: work hard to provide for their young, or penguins who
10:15
Speaker 11: travel up to five hundred miles to secure food for
10:18
Speaker 11: their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them
10:21
Speaker 11: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
10:24
Speaker 11: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
10:26
Speaker 11: the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets at home,
10:30
Speaker 11: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life
10:33
Speaker 11: saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports.
10:36
Speaker 11: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
10:39
Speaker 11: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
10:42
Speaker 11: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
10:44
Speaker 11: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
10:47
Speaker 11: in need. So please join me an American Humane and
10:50
Speaker 11: supporting our heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals
10:53
Speaker 11: on this planet we inhabit together. Go to American Humane
10:56

11:01
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 13: And now a.
11:06
Speaker 14: Speech I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
Speaker 14: heart and brain.
11:12
Speaker 9: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 12: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed.
11:15
Speaker 14: And my brain is saying when it's time to go home,
11:18
Speaker 14: Somebody call me a ride.
11:19
Speaker 12: Love that guy, me too.
11:21
Speaker 15: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
11:24
Speaker 15: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:29
Speaker 6: Did you know that more than half our household energy
11:31
Speaker 6: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
11:35
Speaker 6: good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
11:39
Speaker 6: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
11:42
Speaker 6: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
11:46
Speaker 6: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
11:49
Speaker 6: That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
11:53
Speaker 6: leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
11:56
Speaker 6: improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs, say,
12:00
Speaker 6: is when you shop for a new appliance. Look for
12:02
Speaker 6: the energy Star logo and read the energy guide label.
12:06
Speaker 6: And there are day to day things you can do.
12:09
Speaker 6: Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer.
12:12
Speaker 6: Close fireplay stampers when they're not in use. And keep
12:15
Speaker 6: air filters clean. For more tips on saving money by

Speaker 3: As a family member or friend, you may be the
12:32
Speaker 3: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35
Speaker 3: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
12:40
Speaker 3: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
12:44

12:54
Speaker 2: Treatment works, recovery is possible on.
13:12
Speaker 1: A need to know basis, because you need to know
13:16
Speaker 1: the first thing today.
13:18
Speaker 8: Oh yes, wait a minute, is supposed.
13:21
Speaker 7: Ah yes, yeah, like the post office so much? It
13:28
Speaker 7: was in the Constitution, Yeah, sure was in there. Not
13:31
Speaker 7: what you think Commerce Clause. Congress shall have power to
13:37
Speaker 7: regulate commerce, commerce with foreign nations and among the several states,
13:42
Speaker 7: and with the Indian tribes. That's it about a bing
13:45
Speaker 7: bauda boom. What could possibly go wrong? And remember in
13:50
Speaker 7: the eighteenth century the phrase regulate meant to keep regular,
13:58
Speaker 7: to make sure that anyone was punished for irregularities in
14:04
Speaker 7: their commerce. So, and this was happening under the Articles
14:08
Speaker 7: of Confederation, Virginia might restrict use of the roads passing
14:17
Speaker 7: through Virginia to Maryland to North Carolina. Furniture manufacturers, we're
14:26
Speaker 7: not sure about insect infestations in their furniture, so we're
14:31
Speaker 7: restricting these until we have a chance to examine them
14:34
Speaker 7: by disassembling all the furniture and taking it apart and
14:37
Speaker 7: examining it through wood grinders mostly now. And it wasn't
14:42
Speaker 7: as extreme as that, but they were. If if your
14:45
Speaker 7: state made cotton and the state just to the south
14:49
Speaker 7: of you made cotton, you would tariff the state below you.
14:55
Speaker 7: You'd call it tolls whatever you would on the road.
14:59
Speaker 7: So the common close. When we finally realized the Article
15:02
Speaker 7: of Confederation weren't working, this was put in to say, yes,
15:06
Speaker 7: the federal government will arbitrade whether or not. Regular order
15:11
Speaker 7: was not being done between the states when it came
15:13
Speaker 7: to trade. But what it became perverted as an opportunity
15:23
Speaker 7: to control commerce, and that's what we have to get back.
15:29
Speaker 7: Guess what, they never got rid of the commerce clause.
15:31
Speaker 7: It's still there. So if we just go back to
15:33
Speaker 7: its original definition, we could shut down sixty percent of
15:38
Speaker 7: the federal bureaucracy right now. It's why they wrote in
15:44
Speaker 7: And if you wonder how I know they believed that
15:47
Speaker 7: five hundred and thirty five potential representatives and senators were
15:52
Speaker 7: all coming in wired with seven deadly vices. Look no
15:58
Speaker 7: further than Article five of the US Constitution, which was
16:01
Speaker 7: the Convention of States, the Amendments to the Constitution, that
16:06
Speaker 7: the States themselves would be able to call for a
16:09
Speaker 7: convention to amend the Constitution itself if if enough of
16:17
Speaker 7: them voted to do it. But they they did it
16:19
Speaker 7: based on the idea that they knew we would fall
16:24
Speaker 7: prey to this three four eight eight two four two
16:28
Speaker 7: one seven. So before we smugly sit there and say, oh,
16:31
Speaker 7: look corrupt Ukraine. Ah haha, that kind of griff never
16:35
Speaker 7: goes on here in the United States. Bull bovine excrement.
16:40
Speaker 7: It's all I have to say to that. Andy is online.
16:44
Speaker 7: We got Andy here online one at four three four
16:47
Speaker 7: eight eight two four two one seven down Florida way.
16:49
Speaker 7: How are you doing, Andy? How was your weekend?
16:52
Speaker 17: Yeah?
16:53
Speaker 18: It was great.
16:53
Speaker 19: I didn't get invited to Terry Crawley's son's wedding, but
16:58
Speaker 19: I'm sure they had a great time down there in Farmville.
17:01
Speaker 19: We have some other friends there in Farmville as well.
17:05
Speaker 19: I wanted to just circle back a couple of things
17:10
Speaker 19: that I've learned from listening to your radio station. In
17:13
Speaker 19: one is this Magnolia Rose great group.
17:19
Speaker 7: Yeah, Magnolia Rose works to help girls out of the
17:22
Speaker 7: human trafficking slavery, right.
17:25
Speaker 19: And the lady was talking about actually her day job
17:29
Speaker 19: is working inside the Sheriff's department as a victim's advocate.
17:37
Speaker 7: I guess, yeah, exactly.
17:39
Speaker 1: Yeah.
17:40
Speaker 19: I was actually assigned one of those in Albemarle County
17:45
Speaker 19: when I had to contact multiple times, you know, and
17:49
Speaker 19: that nobody's ever done anything about the crazy stuff that
17:52
Speaker 19: happened to me. But the defunding chemtrails is another thing
17:59
Speaker 19: that we're getting close to right now, this continuing resolution
18:03
Speaker 19: and all this other nonsense is you know, we've a
18:07
Speaker 19: limited or we've made them illegal here in Florida, but
18:10
Speaker 19: there doesn't appear to be any consistency to you know,
18:15
Speaker 19: prosecuting these sayings. Do it, you know, pressuring these people
18:19
Speaker 19: to do that is important. I want to do a
18:23
Speaker 19: tiny shout out to the whole world about your influence,
18:28
Speaker 19: not that you want to do anything but good with
18:30
Speaker 19: your influence, and that is that you're right for the
18:34
Speaker 19: Daily Signal. Right, but y'all are also on over a
18:40
Speaker 19: hundred radio stations.
18:42
Speaker 7: I'm not sure. We don't have an exact number. I
18:45
Speaker 7: know of the stations I'm aware of in places like
18:49
Speaker 7: Dallas and Sacramento and San Antonio in Norfolk, Virginia. I
18:55
Speaker 7: think we've tolded up that the potential audience of the
18:58
Speaker 7: show is somewhere around like fifty two million. But that's
19:01
Speaker 7: that's all well and good. Everyone is still listening one
19:04
Speaker 7: at a time, just like you are.
19:07
Speaker 18: Yeah.
19:07
Speaker 19: Well, I'm actually said my alarm for you know, four
19:11
Speaker 19: point fifty two to make sure that I don't miss
19:14
Speaker 19: this because here if you and O'Keefe and Lou Rockwell
19:17
Speaker 19: and you know Ron Ran Paul, you know they're a
19:22
Speaker 19: Thomas Massey. I think they're probably maybe a dozen people
19:26
Speaker 19: living on the planet that I did visit mar A
19:31
Speaker 19: Lago for the first time for.
19:34
Speaker 7: The O'Keeffe media group thing. Yeah, thank you for that
19:37
Speaker 7: picture of the winner, young fella. Right that you sent
19:40
Speaker 7: me a photograph of the winner of the award.
19:43
Speaker 19: Yes, and that's I'm probably my camera. There was something
19:47
Speaker 19: like funky going on with my camera, but I figured
19:49
Speaker 19: it out about that time of the evening.
19:52
Speaker 7: He had a lot of fun perfect.
19:54
Speaker 19: I've given up alcohol, so I'm, you know, just not
19:57
Speaker 19: doing stupid things.
19:58
Speaker 7: God bless you for that. I mean, you know, not
20:01
Speaker 7: just you know that. I mean there were people who
20:03
Speaker 7: do stupid things without alcohol involved either, So keep you
20:08
Speaker 7: keep on keeping on with that.
20:10
Speaker 19: So I did have a really cool side conversation with
20:13
Speaker 19: Trish Duggan, who is that well she's the founder of
20:18
Speaker 19: the Amagine Museum, but she's also the funding behind the
20:23
Speaker 19: truth about drugs, uh, the human trafficking stories, and I
20:29
Speaker 19: mean it was just unbelievable to be there with I've
20:33
Speaker 19: given she actually got the sixth of seven purple hearts,
20:36
Speaker 19: and this is just a sculpture that I've made out
20:39
Speaker 19: of purple heartwood. It's not disrespectful.
20:43
Speaker 7: To the military or it's just a different phrase using
20:47
Speaker 7: the same words, right.
20:50
Speaker 19: And so when we were coming, I actually left. I
20:54
Speaker 19: didn't sign it, but I left a.
20:57
Speaker 7: A cat in a little.
21:00
Speaker 19: Bag for President Trump, along with the purple heart story
21:04
Speaker 19: and also a I think it was two hundred and

23:06
Speaker 22: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
23:11
Speaker 22: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
23:16
Speaker 22: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
23:20
Speaker 22: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
23:25
Speaker 22: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
23:31
Speaker 22: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
23:34
Speaker 22: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
23:40
Speaker 22: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
23:44
Speaker 22: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
23:48

Speaker 9: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
24:07
Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
24:12
Speaker 9: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
24:18
Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
24:22
Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
24:26
Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
24:31
Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:36
Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
24:42
Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
24:45
Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

Speaker 1: Theology Quick Making Mornings Great Again. First Thing Today on
28:15
Speaker 1: the Tunk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
28:18
Speaker 24: Here's my experience based on thirteen years in the Senate.
28:21
Speaker 26: If we do something in the Senate that gains bipartisan support,
28:24
Speaker 26: and that's what we needed, it can't just be a
28:26
Speaker 26: democratic messaging document. Many Republicans in the House and Senate
28:31
Speaker 26: have said, we know we need to fix this. The
28:33
Speaker 26: Reconciliation Bill is responsible for jacking up people's healthcare costs,
28:37
Speaker 26: and if we don't fix it, we're going to face
28:39
Speaker 26: an angry electorate next.
28:41
Speaker 7: So that's a Virginia Senator Tim Keane on was it
28:46
Speaker 7: meet the press? Was he on this giving his two
28:49
Speaker 7: cents and explaining again why he flipped his vote to
28:53
Speaker 7: get all those federal bureaucrats their jobs back, Because that's
28:56
Speaker 7: really I guess at the end of the day what
28:58
Speaker 7: the shutdown was all about. But the deal. And listen
29:02
Speaker 7: to the way he phrased it. No, the healthcare costs
29:04
Speaker 7: were jacked up by COVID and by Obamacare. But I digress.
29:09
Speaker 7: Let me let's go to one of the folks who
29:11
Speaker 7: fills one of those five hundred and thirty five seats
29:13
Speaker 7: in Congress. He's been on the Budget Committee's, you know,
29:17
Speaker 7: the the overseer of the Pentagon as well. He is
29:23
Speaker 7: Congressman John McGuire. John, how are you doing, sir, Hey,
29:28
Speaker 7: good morning.
29:28
Speaker 17: I was telling you earlier this morning. Politics is not born,
29:32
Speaker 17: especially these days.
29:33
Speaker 7: No, not at all. So talk about the what's going
29:37
Speaker 7: to come in the House on the on this deal,
29:41
Speaker 7: you know, and the things that were sent over from
29:43
Speaker 7: the Senate in order to get to sixty votes. Is
29:46
Speaker 7: it going to just go back and go and did
29:50
Speaker 7: you see anything in there before it went to the
29:52
Speaker 7: president for his signature that was problematic to you, And
29:57
Speaker 7: what's your hope on coming to a better exc to
30:00
Speaker 7: fix for Obamacare.
30:02
Speaker 18: Well, so, first of all, there's always stuff problematic. I
30:06
Speaker 18: got to tell you.
30:07
Speaker 17: When I was in the state House, it was one
30:09
Speaker 17: issue per bill. It was Germaneus. So it was easy
30:12
Speaker 17: black or white to vote yes or no. But I
30:15
Speaker 17: think every build in Washington would have a reason you
30:18
Speaker 17: would like it or a reason you would not like it.
30:22
Speaker 17: But the thing is this clean CR that was we negotiated,
30:27
Speaker 17: We compromised, you know, the Democrats said, we don't compromise, negotiate.
30:31
Speaker 18: We compromised, negotiated, and really didn't like it.
30:33
Speaker 17: I think you and I are in the same vote
30:35
Speaker 17: and that we would rather just have a budget and
30:37
Speaker 17: not have a continued resolution, but the cheap things moving
30:40
Speaker 17: along in good faith. We passed this thing that the
30:43
Speaker 17: Democrats voted for thirteen times under the last administration, and
30:47
Speaker 17: they voted for this CR as recently as March, and
30:50
Speaker 17: they had this ridiculous shutdown for forty some days and
30:55
Speaker 17: now without any kind of a benefit, we went ahead
30:58
Speaker 17: and passed what they could have passed, you know, a
31:01
Speaker 17: couple of months ago.
31:02
Speaker 18: So they caused a lot of pain.
31:03
Speaker 17: Now, what we did do is we have nine budget
31:06
Speaker 17: bill spending bills that we have to pass every year
31:09
Speaker 17: for the budget. We passed three out of the House,
31:12
Speaker 17: and that's the Agricultural Bill, the Legislative Branch Bill, and
31:15
Speaker 17: the Military Construction Better an Affairs Bill. So then the
31:19
Speaker 17: Senate has their version of these bills, and then when
31:22
Speaker 17: they get to make the compromise or the deal to
31:26
Speaker 17: open the government. We passed the cr with eight Democrats
31:30
Speaker 17: and we added in there the Senate version consolidated with
31:36
Speaker 17: the House version of the Agricultural Bill, the Legislative Branch Bill,
31:40
Speaker 17: the Military Construction and Better Affairs.
31:42
Speaker 18: So those three out of the twelve are good for
31:44
Speaker 18: a year.
31:45
Speaker 17: So now that we've reopened the government, we've got between
31:48
Speaker 17: now and January thirtieth to consolidate and pass the next nine.
31:54
Speaker 18: So that's really all it really happened.
31:55
Speaker 17: I mean, we were going to do that anyway, and
31:58
Speaker 17: so it's just really it's really unfortunate, and it caused
32:02
Speaker 17: a lot of American people unnecessarily paying and it also
32:06
Speaker 17: cost our government a whole lot of money and trying
32:08
Speaker 17: to navigate and find other ways to pay for snap
32:12
Speaker 17: and military and everything else.
32:14
Speaker 7: Well, let's let's move, you know, from there. Because the
32:18
Speaker 7: government shut down costal you know, as you mentioned, the
32:21
Speaker 7: economy took a pretty big hit. And and I think
32:24
Speaker 7: some of those numbers are just from the amount of
32:26
Speaker 7: government spending that was going to come into the economy
32:30
Speaker 7: in general. But you know, we we were approaching Thanksgiving.
32:35
Speaker 7: The controversy right now is is a Thanksgiving dinner lower
32:38
Speaker 7: cost than it was? And it's funny because because everyone
32:42
Speaker 7: said the president was wrong, except he wasn't. And and
32:46
Speaker 7: it looks like the main driver of higher Thanksgiving costs
32:50
Speaker 7: are cranberries, apparently prepared cranberries. But but the the issues
32:56
Speaker 7: that the Democrats have been hammering on, the grocery bills
33:00
Speaker 7: haven't come down enough yet. Gas prices, my gas stations,
33:04
Speaker 7: you know, everything is like a dollar less than it
33:06
Speaker 7: was last year. So that's a that's a big swing.
33:09
Speaker 7: That's a thirty percent drop. John. Are people that you
33:14
Speaker 7: talk to in your representation feeling that the economy is
33:19
Speaker 7: turning around or is it just taking too long for them?
33:22
Speaker 17: Well, let's just get something straight. President Trump is right
33:25
Speaker 17: about everything and they can't stand it. You have you
33:28
Speaker 17: seen that hat that he made there said, I've.
33:30
Speaker 18: Read about everything.
33:31
Speaker 7: Yes, he's so funny.
33:34
Speaker 17: But now here's the thing that I'm starting to observe
33:36
Speaker 17: by talking to people and everything else. So you you
33:38
Speaker 17: would admit that he's he's basically opened up the pipelines.
33:43
Speaker 18: He's allowing people to offshore drill.
33:45
Speaker 17: He's bringing trains and trains of investments back into our country.
33:49
Speaker 17: As you remember after NAFTA back I think it was
33:51
Speaker 17: the nineties, ninety five thousand businesses and jobs and everything
33:56
Speaker 17: else left our country and devastated local economies in my
34:00
Speaker 17: congressional district. And now we're bringing you know, not billions,
34:03
Speaker 17: but trains of investments back into our country.
34:06
Speaker 18: We're doing everything to get this country going.
34:08
Speaker 17: We got the one big, beautiful bill that codified twenty
34:12
Speaker 17: eight Trump executive orders, which I don't know. We could
34:15
Speaker 17: talk about that another day. But that's a huge achievement
34:17
Speaker 17: for any president.
34:18
Speaker 7: But here's what I've noticed. They can't just be get done.
34:21
Speaker 18: But here's what I've noticed. If you have to charge
34:24
Speaker 18: more money for tomatoes.
34:25
Speaker 17: Because gas prices are high, and then Trump lowers the
34:29
Speaker 17: gas prices, you don't lower your.
34:32
Speaker 18: Price of tomatoes.
34:34
Speaker 17: And so I've noticed that is when when when businesses
34:37
Speaker 17: have seen the effects of Stomp's economy, they have the
34:42
Speaker 17: opportunity to lower their prices, but they never do.
34:44
Speaker 7: What about So you brought up agriculture, and one of
34:47
Speaker 7: the things that you your region is very agriculture. The
34:51
Speaker 7: cost of fertilizer, because it requires natural gas to be created,
34:57
Speaker 7: that quadrupled in price. Under Biden, has that started to
35:00
Speaker 7: come down?
35:02
Speaker 18: Good point. Act.
35:04
Speaker 17: I'm getting ready to have a big summit where I'm
35:06
Speaker 17: bringing care of aagon to my.
35:07
Speaker 7: District and a home and farmers.
35:09
Speaker 17: It's the district and we're going to have a round
35:11
Speaker 17: table question and talk about the farm bill stuff. But yeah,
35:14
Speaker 17: I had a guy tell me he spent a million
35:16
Speaker 17: and he's a bigger farmer.
35:17
Speaker 7: He said he spent a.
35:17
Speaker 17: Million dollars on online for example, a couple of years ago,
35:23
Speaker 17: and a year later it went from a million to
35:25
Speaker 17: two million for the same amount of Gosh, it's just
35:29
Speaker 17: so hard for a farmer to make a profit. And
35:32
Speaker 17: these ridiculous regulations. I mean, you look at what they're
35:35
Speaker 17: doing to diesel and diesel fuel and I know it's
35:38
Speaker 17: not doesn't like that. I mean, he wants to get
35:40
Speaker 17: rid of red tape. He wants to double everybody's business
35:44
Speaker 17: and so less regulations and more partu So he's you know,
35:49
Speaker 17: he's making decisions to.
35:50
Speaker 7: Get us there. So what do you guys in Congress
35:52
Speaker 7: need to do to give him the tools to get
35:54
Speaker 7: that done.
35:56
Speaker 18: Well, we need to be rowing in the same direction.
35:59
Speaker 8: Mm.
36:00
Speaker 17: We have we only we only have a two vote
36:02
Speaker 17: majority in Congress. And it seems like some people want
36:07
Speaker 17: it to be about me, But it's not about me.
36:09
Speaker 17: It's about we, we the people. We got to be
36:12
Speaker 17: rowing in the same direction. And one of the biggest
36:14
Speaker 17: reasons I'm a supporter of President Trump is because my
36:17
Speaker 17: lifetime presidents have promised all kinds of things but never delivered,
36:23
Speaker 17: and he constantly delivers. I mean, I'll give you a
36:25
Speaker 17: couple of examples, you know, and I'm sure we're about
36:28
Speaker 17: similar age our whole life. You know, presidents said they're
36:31
Speaker 17: going to have a peace to even the lease. They
36:33
Speaker 17: got zero, and he got too in his first term. Uh,
36:36
Speaker 17: he's he's through strength. He's solved eight conflicts already. Everyone
36:42
Speaker 17: said they're going to move the embassy from the Israeli
36:46
Speaker 17: Embassy of Jerusalem.
36:47
Speaker 18: They didn't do it.
36:48
Speaker 7: Trump did it.
36:48
Speaker 17: I mean, he says what he means, it means what
36:51
Speaker 17: he says, and he gets the job done. And so
36:54
Speaker 17: he's not perfect. I'm not perfect. You're not perfect. But
36:57
Speaker 17: he gets results. And I think the American people are
36:59
Speaker 17: sick in time losing and they're sick and tired of
37:02
Speaker 17: not getting results. And people don't always understand what he's
37:04
Speaker 17: doing or why he's doing it, Like people.
37:06
Speaker 18: Are really upset about the tariffs, and the tariffs aren't perfect.
37:09
Speaker 18: And it's taken a while, but.
37:10
Speaker 17: Think about this, for the first time in ten years,
37:14
Speaker 17: we have a surplus.
37:15
Speaker 18: I mean, not as big as we'd like.
37:17
Speaker 17: It's getting bigger every month, though, And I think a
37:19
Speaker 17: couple of months ago it was two billion dollars. I'm sorry,
37:23
Speaker 17: it was that. Two hundred million dollars in just one month. Yeah,
37:26
Speaker 17: And if he keeps going, we're going to be bringing
37:28
Speaker 17: in the trade. And I think about this. We've been
37:29
Speaker 17: spending more every month than we make every month for
37:31
Speaker 17: ten years, and now all of a sudden, we're bringing
37:34
Speaker 17: in more than we're spending.
37:36
Speaker 18: And think about this. A year ago or so, zero.
37:38
Speaker 17: Countries wanted to negotiate the unfair trade they had with
37:42
Speaker 17: the United States now two hundred countries plus, or hey,
37:47
Speaker 17: we want to work out a deal.
37:48
Speaker 18: We want to negotiate.

38:05
Speaker 20: He's a hard working entrepreneur. He's young, he's got a
38:08
Speaker 20: young family. Suddenly, though, he develops a rare medical condition
38:11
Speaker 20: where he lost the use of both of his arms.
38:14
Speaker 23: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer,
38:16
Speaker 23: couldn't type, couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold
38:18
Speaker 23: my son, who was about a month old.
38:20
Speaker 20: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
38:23
Speaker 20: but they're so thankful that they're members of Meta Share.

38:33
Speaker 23: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which

38:42

38:44
Speaker 23: some type of medical problem that is such a huge
38:46
Speaker 23: blessing to us.

44:12
Speaker 1: For you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
44:26
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I love I've seen Billy Joel more times
44:29
Speaker 7: than I can count. I still don't know why somebody
44:33
Speaker 7: in Allentown wouldn't have known that was all.
44:39
Speaker 1: You know.
44:39
Speaker 7: What they didn't tell you was that the job killing
44:43
Speaker 7: regulations and things that were done as kickbacks to labor
44:47
Speaker 7: unions and the labor laws in America were why the
44:52
Speaker 7: jobs left Allentown. And I remember that first moment when
44:58
Speaker 7: in the Trump administration, when Bethlehem Steele said, Hey, we're
45:02
Speaker 7: going to start making more steel in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I said,
45:06
Speaker 7: what never happens? Visiting with one of the members of
45:11
Speaker 7: the US House of Representative McGuire, who represents a part
45:16
Speaker 7: of our flagship state of Virginia, and I have to ask, John,
45:20
Speaker 7: your state is one of those states that's facing redistricting.
45:24
Speaker 7: Virginia is right in the center square of it. It
45:28
Speaker 7: seems like Eric Holder has paid for quite a redistricting
45:32
Speaker 7: model where it looks like they've taken the fairly large
45:39
Speaker 7: Democrat majority congressional districts and stretched them out across the
45:45
Speaker 7: Commonwealth of Virginia to try to create nine out or
45:49
Speaker 7: ten out of eleven congressional districts that are at least
45:53
Speaker 7: a little bit Democrat majority. What have you talked to
45:57
Speaker 7: the people who are going to be making these decisions
46:00
Speaker 7: and Richmond and what is your feeling on what your
46:03
Speaker 7: congressional district may even look like in twenty twenty six?
46:07
Speaker 17: Well, what it does that shows you black and white
46:10
Speaker 17: playing this day. Democrats don't care about we the people.
46:14
Speaker 17: They want elected partisan politicians to choose your representative and
46:19
Speaker 17: not the people that actually live in the districts in
46:21
Speaker 17: the parts of Virginia. That's what they're about. It's about them.
46:24
Speaker 17: It's about power and control. You know, the Bipartisan Commission,
46:29
Speaker 17: the Democrats put millions of dollars into advertising.
46:32
Speaker 18: It passed in a referendum.
46:33
Speaker 17: I think seventy percent are close to seventy percent, yes sir, yeah,
46:37
Speaker 17: and now they want to change yeah, so yeah, so
46:41
Speaker 17: now they want to change that when they have power, right,
46:44
Speaker 17: and so even the people that people in the Commission
46:46
Speaker 17: or complaining like wait minute, you know, you guys totally
46:49
Speaker 17: lie to us. You're not holding you're not you're not
46:52
Speaker 17: standing by your word. But you know, I'm a fighter
46:54
Speaker 17: and Trump's a fighter, and we got to fight, fight, fight,
46:57
Speaker 17: and you know I've had I've won seven races and
47:00
Speaker 17: Virginia now and almost everyone they say John, they keep
47:03
Speaker 17: calling me the new guy and saying I don't have
47:04
Speaker 17: a chance, but we keep getting it done by the
47:08
Speaker 17: grace of God and a lot of amazing volunteers. So
47:11
Speaker 17: whatever the situation is, we're just going to fight, fight, fight,
47:13
Speaker 17: and win and serve the people as in Virginia as
47:17
Speaker 17: best we can for as long as we can.
47:19
Speaker 7: Well. And that's an interesting thing. I wrote this column
47:21
Speaker 7: for the Daily Signal. I don't know they've published this one. Yeah,
47:24
Speaker 7: it was. It's titled counting Chickens because the way they
47:28
Speaker 7: stretched these districts out, they took several very safe Democratic
47:33
Speaker 7: districts and made them all closer to like fifty two
47:36
Speaker 7: forty eight. And it's it's my contention that that's close
47:40
Speaker 7: enough where you could somebody like yourself or a Ben
47:43
Speaker 7: Klein or Morgan Griffith, you know, could Rob Whitman, could work,
47:47
Speaker 7: you know, really hard, have a great turnout and flip
47:50
Speaker 7: more seats and have you know, seven of the eleven
47:53
Speaker 7: seeds be Republican because they've sacrificed their safe Democratic districts
47:59
Speaker 7: for a whole bunch of Yeah, closer to the margin
48:02
Speaker 7: of error. You know, Democrat majorities, you're.
48:06
Speaker 18: Making a really good point.
48:07
Speaker 17: You know they might you know, they might actually accidentally
48:09
Speaker 17: hang themselves. And also I would say this, you know,
48:11
Speaker 17: it takes a while to move an ocean liner our country.
48:15
Speaker 17: You know, Trump inherited a major mess and he's only
48:18
Speaker 17: been there ten or eleven months.
48:20
Speaker 7: And yeah, that's a while. That point too.
48:23
Speaker 17: But this working family tax cut, it really puts jet
48:27
Speaker 17: fuel on our economy. And it's probably going to be
48:29
Speaker 17: April May when the ship you start to say, the
48:32
Speaker 17: ship is really turning. And I can tell you in
48:35
Speaker 17: the fifth Congressional District, I did not know this until
48:38
Speaker 17: I got the Congress. But as a member of Congress,
48:40
Speaker 17: I'm meeting with dignitaries. I'm meeting with CEOs of American
48:45
Speaker 17: companies and international companies actually come visit me in DC
48:48
Speaker 17: and talk about where they want to bring their factories,
48:51
Speaker 17: their manufacturing jobs. And I had one very large company
48:55
Speaker 17: say to me, John, I was going to bring my
48:58
Speaker 17: factory to a different state, but after talking with you,
49:02
Speaker 17: I've decided to bring my factory to the Virginia fifth
49:04
Speaker 17: Congressional District. Now we've announced four I think we've got
49:08
Speaker 17: eight on the hook now. So we've announced Hatachi and Nexlnburg.
49:12
Speaker 18: You probably heard.
49:13
Speaker 17: About that, yes, sir Eli Lilly, I believe that's five
49:17
Speaker 17: billion dollar investment in Gooshen County, Astra Zenega, Admiral Morra County.
49:22
Speaker 17: That's close to five billion dollar investment. We've got Amazon,
49:26
Speaker 17: and we've got quite a few more all around the district.
49:29
Speaker 17: And you know, I want to I want to make
49:31
Speaker 17: up for and correct the problems of NAFTA, and that's
49:34
Speaker 17: what Trump wants to do. And obviously I love all
49:36
Speaker 17: the districts in Virginia, and I love all the districts
49:39
Speaker 17: in America, but my number one district. Some fighting can
49:44
Speaker 17: bring jobs and opportunity and economic development and freedom.
49:47
Speaker 7: And I think when.
49:48
Speaker 17: People see that the success that we're having, that we
49:52
Speaker 17: can govern, you might find those independents and those people
49:56
Speaker 17: that aren't so diehard Democrat saying, you know what, these
49:59
Speaker 17: people are adults, they know how to govern, and I
50:04
Speaker 17: think the Democrats might hang themselves with the decisions I'm making.
50:07
Speaker 7: Well, you have a great morning, sir, Thank you for
50:08
Speaker 7: checking in with us there, and keep fighting the good fight.
50:11
Speaker 7: It's McGuire, dot House, dot Governor we'll talk to you
50:14
Speaker 7: very soon.
50:15
Speaker 18: All right, God bless you, Joe Babbah and.
50:18
Speaker 7: For you four three four eight eight two four to
50:20
Speaker 7: two one seven that's our phone number, and text messages
50:24
Speaker 7: as well come into that line as well. Obviously, the
50:29
Speaker 7: story that's consumed a bit is this story out of Ukraine,
50:32
Speaker 7: because I wanted to kind of foretell to you what
50:35
Speaker 7: you're going to hit with, especially if you've been standing,
50:39
Speaker 7: you know, in that position of trying to have a
50:42
Speaker 7: fair arbitration over our involvement there and you're hearing, oh, well,
50:47
Speaker 7: Trump is a Putin puppet, and that's why he doesn't
50:50
Speaker 7: like Zelenski and all of this stuff. He wants killing
50:56
Speaker 7: to stop, he wants war to stop. And at some
51:03
Speaker 7: point or another, we have to stop and realize, you know,
51:10
Speaker 7: when we talk about our international entanglements and we talk
51:13
Speaker 7: about the story of Ukrainian corruption and selling, you know,
51:17
Speaker 7: access to their nuclear facilities and contracts to their nuclear plants,
51:22
Speaker 7: because that's never been a problem in Ukraine before that
51:29
Speaker 7: we need to as leaders be trying to bring our
51:35
Speaker 7: allies to where we are in the world. But that
51:38
Speaker 7: requires us first to go back to where we should
51:41
Speaker 7: be looking at things like the commerce clause and the
51:44
Speaker 7: bureaucracy and the autocracy and really the government oligarchy that
51:49
Speaker 7: we've created out of this perversion, this nanny state, this
51:56
Speaker 7: permission society. And you know they're not going to do
51:59
Speaker 7: it on their own. This is why Convention of States
52:02
Speaker 7: dot com is where y'all got to go join me there.
52:08
Speaker 7: And it's not just this particular call for a Convention
52:11
Speaker 7: of States. It's getting back to a place where, you
52:13
Speaker 7: know what, the states can rule the roost. Maybe we
52:17
Speaker 7: can put the Senate back into the hands of the states.
52:20
Speaker 7: Maybe we can get rid of the seventeenth Amendment, Maybe
52:23
Speaker 7: we can get rid of the sixteenth Amendment, so that
52:25
Speaker 7: the senator's job is actually when they get a budget
52:28
Speaker 7: from the House, to go back to the States and
52:30
Speaker 7: say here's our cut. Can we do it? AnyWho, it's
52:35
