- 0:39Speaker 7: you the news, will break it down from where we said,
- 0:43Speaker 7: but I also want to hear how it's impacting you
- 0:46Speaker 7: where you are at four three four eight eight two
- 0:49Speaker 7: four to two one seven, And he writes in defunding
- 0:52Speaker 7: chemtrails is a primary benefit of the government shutdown. Federal
- 0:56Speaker 7: government is the worst steward of the environment and property.
- 1:02Speaker 7: Tough for you to come up with a thing the
- 1:04Speaker 7: federal government is a good steward of That's the thing.
- 1:09Speaker 7: It's the one thing they're supposed to be a steward of,
- 1:12Speaker 7: which is defending your God given rights against usurpation. And
- 1:18Speaker 7: they won't do that. And they have become addicts to
- 1:27Speaker 7: this idea that they can provide rights I've been talked
- 1:30Speaker 7: to you about this just an abstract, really kind of
- 1:33Speaker 7: deep thought stuff, but it's born of the same philosopher.
- 1:38Speaker 7: So John Locke is the philosopher behind Western civilization, really
- 1:43Speaker 7: codifying it, laying it out individual rights and liberties that
- 1:49Speaker 7: to secure all the stuff in the Declaration of Independence.
- 1:52Speaker 7: Jefferson was a huge John Locke scholar at William and Mary,
- 1:57Speaker 7: and he understood him up down left right and the
- 2:02Speaker 7: concept of that to secure these rights, governments are instituted
- 2:06Speaker 7: amongst men, deriving the just powers from the government is
- 2:10Speaker 7: the part that they misinterpret. Amongst the Democrats to give
- 2:14Speaker 7: themselves the right to create rights. Their mania, their psychosis
- 2:21Speaker 7: is that if they choose not to secure a right,
- 2:25Speaker 7: it is the same as taking it away without having
- 2:30Speaker 7: to actually take it away see the Second Amendment. And
- 2:36Speaker 7: if they choose to defend a right that's not listed
- 2:40Speaker 7: in John Locke's life liberty, property, and they decide to
- 2:44Speaker 7: defend access to healthcare or apartments or jobs or groceries
- 2:52Speaker 7: like Zorhan mad money, they can do that, and thus
- 2:58Speaker 7: they can invent rights out of whole cloth as well.
- 3:04Speaker 7: So you have to understand how they're thinking because they're
- 3:06Speaker 7: not thinking they're doing wrong. They think that they're doing
- 3:11Speaker 7: what John Locke said. At least that's their convincement. That's
- 3:16Speaker 7: that's what they convince themselves of while they're shaving in
- 3:20Speaker 7: the mirror. Women too, that somehow they're living up to
- 3:25Speaker 7: the Enlightenment and they understand it better than all the
- 3:28Speaker 7: folks who ad a life liberty property. That's oh my gosh,
- 3:33Speaker 7: you own land? Who can own earth? Have you not
- 3:37Speaker 7: seen Pocahontas? Or it's cgi remake Avatar? When does? When
- 3:45Speaker 7: does Avatar become a Broadway musical? And then we can
- 3:48Speaker 7: have a movie about the Broadway musical Avatar? Is it already?
- 3:51Speaker 7: I don't know. I don't do enough Broadway, But it's
- 3:53Speaker 7: just one of those Disney things that I would be
- 3:57Speaker 7: shocked if it hasn't already gone into pre per auction
- 4:00Speaker 7: as a musical abroad. Can you imagine? But they always
- 4:03Speaker 7: do that so they can separate you from one thousand
- 4:06Speaker 7: dollars a seat on Broadway and fund their leftist agendas.
- 4:11Speaker 7: Our first things this morning. Chuck Grassley has posted to
- 4:16Speaker 7: his ex account a letter a memorandum from the Department

- 4:33Speaker 7: investigation into efforts by the Trump campaign and associates to
- 4:38Speaker 7: obstruct Congress's certification of the twenty twenty election. Grassley says
- 4:45Speaker 7: it personally, So it proves that Biden personally approved the case,
- 4:52Speaker 7: which is referred to as Arctic Frost and unleashed unchecked
- 4:56Speaker 7: government power at the highest level. Yeah. Really, So why
- 5:00Speaker 7: hire Gordon Liddy and Howard Hunt to break into your
- 5:03Speaker 7: political opponent's office when you can just use the FBI
- 5:08Speaker 7: to do it. President Trump announced Thursday trade negotiations with
- 5:14Speaker 7: Canada have been terminated over an advertisement the Canadians had
- 5:20Speaker 7: made using excerpts from a speech Reagan made in nineteen
- 5:24Speaker 7: eighty seven regarding tariffs. The administration's statement is the Ronald
- 5:30Speaker 7: Reagan Foundation has announced that Canada has fraudulently used the advertisement,
- 5:36Speaker 7: which is fake, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs.
- 5:40Speaker 7: Trump wrote on truth Social we have played for you
- 5:43Speaker 7: the actual address that Ronald Reagan made, and we may
- 5:48Speaker 7: go back and do that again. But Trump said Thursday
- 5:51Speaker 7: that his administration plan to brief Congress on military actions
- 5:55Speaker 7: he's been taking against drug cartels and plans to take.
- 5:59Speaker 7: He said, they may actually start to engage them on
- 6:03Speaker 7: land next. Well, it doesn't necessarily seek a declaration of war. Well,
- 6:07Speaker 7: I don't think we're going to necessarily ask for that.
- 6:10Speaker 7: I think we're going to kill people that are bringing
- 6:12Speaker 7: drugs into this country. Okay, we're going to kill them.
- 6:16Speaker 7: Foreign Relations Chair James Rish, senator from Ohio, said Thursday
- 6:22Speaker 7: he has no plans at this time to hold hearings
- 6:25Speaker 7: on the administration's strikes against drug runners. And those are

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

- 10:01Speaker 10: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 10: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 10: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:09Speaker 10: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 10: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 10: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:18Speaker 10: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 10: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 10: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:26Speaker 10: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are a wonderful
- 10:29Speaker 10: pets at home, but because of their acute senses, they
- 10:32Speaker 10: also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us
- 10:35Speaker 10: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
- 10:38Speaker 10: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
- 10:41Speaker 10: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
- 10:44Speaker 10: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
- 10:46Speaker 10: and help those in need. So please join me an

- 13:08Speaker 2: Is the challenge First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on
- 13:14Speaker 2: the Talk Media Network.
- 13:29Speaker 7: So have you got something to say, especially on how
- 13:32Speaker 7: the news of the day is impacting you? Four three
- 13:36Speaker 7: four eight eight two four two one seven. That's our
- 13:39Speaker 7: phone number. You also use it for text messaging. Very
- 13:43Speaker 7: popular in the cacophony. That is your normal morning routine.
- 13:57Speaker 7: So January sixth and all the things we talked about
- 14:03Speaker 7: this with Horace Cooper, we should keep that clip just
- 14:07Speaker 7: as a you know, someplace I can get to it
- 14:09Speaker 7: all so, because we're always going back to it, just
- 14:11Speaker 7: as just as a side note, can we make excerpt
- 14:14Speaker 7: that Horace Cooper clip. Horace Cooper, great constitutional attorney, black man,
- 14:19Speaker 7: leader of the Black Conservative Leadership Caucus at Project twenty one,
- 14:25Speaker 7: jurists who helped knock down parts of the Voting Rights
- 14:30Speaker 7: Act in the Supreme Court because they were unconstitutional. Much
- 14:34Speaker 7: of what you know is happening now is because we
- 14:39Speaker 7: were able to break the idea of setting up congressional
- 14:42Speaker 7: districts away from these Jim Crow era mandates. And yeah,
- 14:49Speaker 7: so it does happen that this, But there's other unconstitutional
- 14:53Speaker 7: things afoot in what's going on with the redistricting mania.
- 14:58Speaker 7: But January six and they're both connected because redistricting, the
- 15:06Speaker 7: nineteen twenty nine Permanent Apportionment Act, Jim Crow racism, they're
- 15:15Speaker 7: all interwoven in here. And January sixth, this this inflection
- 15:23Speaker 7: point in time, this norm busting event, as Horace referred
- 15:31Speaker 7: to it on this program has set off? And did
- 15:34Speaker 7: set off? And April is a year later, a year
- 15:38Speaker 7: and a couple of months later, Merrick Garland the Attorney General,
- 15:44Speaker 7: and didn't we talk and isn't there a piece that
- 15:47Speaker 7: I wrote up at Daily Signal dot com on the
- 15:50Speaker 7: awesome power We just talked about it yesterday with Virginia's
- 15:54Speaker 7: Attorney general. The awesome power of an attorney General's office
- 15:59Speaker 7: to go after political opponents. Merrick Garland and his deputy
- 16:07Speaker 7: Lisa Monico and FBI Director Christopher Ray approved FBI investigation
- 16:12Speaker 7: a year and several months later into private citizens to
- 16:21Speaker 7: see if they may have been involved in January sixth
- 16:24Speaker 7: in the quote insurrection, and they were using that word,
- 16:29Speaker 7: remember January seventh, five am. I came on the air
- 16:34Speaker 7: and I warned whoever was listening, beware the word insurrection.
- 16:39Speaker 7: It's very intentionally. It stuck out because it's not a
- 16:43Speaker 7: word that was commonly used. Now you hear it all
- 16:47Speaker 7: the time. I mean little babies, ah ah, little Adolph's
- 16:52Speaker 7: first word is insurrection. Isn't that, sweet, dear?
- 16:58Speaker 17: What?
- 17:00Speaker 7: I don't have anything against the name, I mean history does.
- 17:05Speaker 7: So insurrection stuck out on January sixth, when they started
- 17:13Speaker 7: talking about insurrection because there are specific constitutional penalties for
- 17:19Speaker 7: such things, and it creates, in its usage a norm
- 17:24Speaker 7: busting event, as Horace Cooper, because then, well, if there's
- 17:29Speaker 7: an insert, they're trying to bring down the US government,
- 17:32Speaker 7: and their application of it after January sixth of twenty
- 17:36Speaker 7: twenty one, from where I sat, was problematic. You tell
- 17:39Speaker 7: me if you disagree, because technically running against an incumbent
- 17:46Speaker 7: could be seen as insurrective behavior. You're trying to tear
- 17:50Speaker 7: down the government. I'm part of the government. You're trying
- 17:53Speaker 7: to cost me my job by running against me. That's insurrection.
- 17:57Speaker 7: And I know it's not being used mostly right now,
- 18:00Speaker 7: but since twenty twenty one it has been used. Merrick
- 18:06Speaker 7: Garland himself opened dossier's on people who quote threatened school
- 18:12Speaker 7: board members. What were they threatened with losing their next
- 18:16Speaker 7: re election or having a recall posted for them? It
- 18:25Speaker 7: was a great threat. I went to the FBI and said,
- 18:28Speaker 7: oh my gosh, I've been threatened. My precious may be
- 18:30Speaker 7: taken away from me. Words have legal meanings, and insurrection
- 18:40Speaker 7: has now become this infection that if you challenge an
- 18:44Speaker 7: elected member of government, you could be seen if they
- 18:51Speaker 7: choose to apply this extra special layer that gives them
- 18:58Speaker 7: the right now to investigate private citizens accused of nothing
- 19:03Speaker 7: more than being there for high crimes and misdemeanors against
- 19:11Speaker 7: the state, that could get them put away for decades.
- 19:16Speaker 7: So that's why this story is important. It's like, oh, well,
- 19:18Speaker 7: we know, we know, yes, but now we have the
- 19:21Speaker 7: document that says the Attorney General of the United States said,
- 19:29Speaker 7: go after these people, investigate them. Where was the warrant?
- 19:33Speaker 7: Where was the indictment? Where was the grand jury saying yes,
- 19:37Speaker 7: we believe you've displayed enough evidence that would lead us
- 19:40Speaker 7: to believe that so and so may be guilty of something.
- 19:46Speaker 7: Wasn't there? They didn't have it. They just directed under
- 19:49Speaker 7: this Insurrection Act and all their January sixth mystical magical
- 19:55Speaker 7: powers that they gave themselves, just like they gave themselves
- 19:58Speaker 7: all these mystical magical powers during Sar's Cove two COVID nineteen.
- 20:04Speaker 7: For those playing along at home, they can just invent,
- 20:10Speaker 7: like you know what, I want to be a wizard.
- 20:13Speaker 7: I want to be able to lift things up just
- 20:15Speaker 7: by saying alohomra. But in government you can now because
- 20:23Speaker 7: we have all these emergencies, all these emergencies that don't expire,
- 20:29Speaker 7: they just get used by another guy later. That's why
- 20:35Speaker 7: when the FCC commissioner earlier this week, and again thank
- 20:39Speaker 7: you Teresa for sending me the email about it and
- 20:42Speaker 7: playing along at home and having heard his statement flying
- 20:45Speaker 7: directly in the face of me, somebody who actually owns
- 20:48Speaker 7: a license to own a broadcast over AM and FM
- 20:51Speaker 7: transmitters his idea that your permission to broadcast is a
- 20:58Speaker 7: government grant, that you've been gifted by the government, this
- 21:02Speaker 7: grand opportunity to broadcast, and they can throw you away
- 21:06Speaker 7: just as quickly as you say, Bob's your uncle. And
- 21:10Speaker 7: I speak on behalf of all the people, whether they
- 21:13Speaker 7: be big broadcasters or little guys, little individual guys who
- 21:18Speaker 7: own their radio stations that carry this program. He's wrong.
- 21:23Speaker 7: And I used to think Red Flag Pam might have
- 21:26Speaker 7: been the worst person that Donald Trump could pick for
- 21:28Speaker 7: her position. But if Brendan Carr thinks that your license
- 21:34Speaker 7: to broadcast is something that the government just gives out
- 21:37Speaker 7: of the goodness of their heart, you paid for that,
- 21:39Speaker 7: and it is a deed to your property. And this
- 21:43Speaker 7: is all the stuff that happens when you've got this
- 21:46Speaker 7: government out of control power. And I bring up Carr
- 21:49Speaker 7: specifically to point out that it's not just Democrats that
- 21:54Speaker 7: can do this. Enemies lists are dangerous.
- 22:01Speaker 1: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League Training for Planet Fitness,

- 28:14Speaker 2: First Thing today, catching up this Friday morning with your
- 28:30Speaker 2: former House Freedom CONCAS chair Bob Good, the host now
- 28:34Speaker 2: of the Good for America podcast.
- 28:38Speaker 7: Bob, you know, I wanted to ask you about the
- 28:43Speaker 7: Virginia redistricting the speaker yesterday, and we were talking to
- 28:48Speaker 7: your friend Tom Garrett earlier in the program, and he said,
- 28:52Speaker 7: what really is at foot here is they're going to
- 28:54Speaker 7: try to draw districts that will turn Virginia's, you know,
- 29:00Speaker 7: relatively purple legislative caucus into a nine to nine to
- 29:08Speaker 7: two overwhelmingly Democrat districts. What are you hearing and is
- 29:14Speaker 7: this a concern for twenty twenty six? And I hear
- 29:18Speaker 7: that they're trying to make it a constitutional amendment and
- 29:21Speaker 7: count the election that's been going on since September nineteenth
- 29:25Speaker 7: as the intervening election so they could bring it right
- 29:28Speaker 7: to a vote.
- 29:31Speaker 17: Well, Democrats are going to try to wield partisan power
- 29:36Speaker 17: to redraw the districts, apparently to their advantage, both on
- 29:40Speaker 17: the state level and the federal level. How much whether
- 29:44Speaker 17: or not they'll bill to succeed in doing that remains
- 29:46Speaker 17: to be seen. I certainly am in favor of Republicans
- 29:51Speaker 17: doing it in states where they have the power. It's
- 29:53Speaker 17: legal unless you're doing it in a discriminatory basis, and
- 29:57Speaker 17: Republicans ought to wield that power across the country. To
- 30:00Speaker 17: be expected, Democrats are kind of try to do it
- 30:03Speaker 17: as well, and Republicans ought to oppose it obviously, But
- 30:06Speaker 17: Democrats may succeed in doing it in the Commonwealth. To
- 30:09Speaker 17: what advantage can they draw those districts in Virginia. There's
- 30:12Speaker 17: not a whole lot of competitive districts in the General
- 30:14Speaker 17: Assembly or in the Congress for that matter. But I
- 30:17Speaker 17: guess Democrats are going to try to offset fears of
- 30:20Speaker 17: it happening in the Republican states. We're doing it in
- 30:22Speaker 17: Democrats states, but Democrats have been doing it. They've always
- 30:24Speaker 17: been ahead of Republicans in doing it. The Blue states
- 30:28Speaker 17: definitely reflect the Democrat power being willed in a partisan way,
- 30:31Speaker 17: and these districts much more than they do in red states,
- 30:33Speaker 17: and Republicans should be doing in the red states to
- 30:35Speaker 17: balance that the impact of what Democrats have done for decades.
- 30:39Speaker 17: But Democrats are apparently going to try to do it
- 30:42Speaker 17: in Virginia.
- 30:43Speaker 7: Well, what is your sense? And you have a lot
- 30:45Speaker 7: of friends in the business, you know of Virginia's state
- 30:51Speaker 7: wide races. We were talking, as I said earlier, this
- 30:54Speaker 7: this call for a special session will pull the GOP
- 30:57Speaker 7: gubernatorial candidate off the campaign trail while President Obama is
- 31:02Speaker 7: in Virginia Beach given a speech in Huggin, you know
- 31:07Speaker 7: Abigail Spanburger and saying you got to go to vote
- 31:11Speaker 7: for Douce people. I think this gamesmanship is even beyond
- 31:15Speaker 7: the pale for that. Uh. And I'm told it's because
- 31:19Speaker 7: they're losing. They're they're facing a massive amount of spending
- 31:24Speaker 7: and three losses statewide. What are you hearing out on
- 31:27Speaker 7: the campaign trail?
- 31:29Speaker 17: The momentum is definitely the Republican's favor. The race has
- 31:32Speaker 17: clearly tightened. All the polls seem to indicate that. And
- 31:36Speaker 17: so it's it's obviously a legend suspected that is a
- 31:40Speaker 17: side benefit of the Democrats' efforts on redissecting is to
- 31:43Speaker 17: get when some series have to be in session in
- 31:45Speaker 17: Richmond rather than on the campaign trail. But the momentum
- 31:48Speaker 17: is definitely on the Republican side. I think with the
- 31:51Speaker 17: Jay Jones being exposed for the mindset, for the mindset,
- 31:54Speaker 17: for the exposed mindset the radical left and the Democrat
- 31:56Speaker 17: Party in general, and then Abigail Spanberger, I think they've
- 31:59Speaker 17: done a good job of exposing how radical she is
- 32:02Speaker 17: on her views, and so I hope that momentum will
- 32:04Speaker 17: continue over the next week and a half and Republicans
- 32:07Speaker 17: will prevail in the race on November four and in
- 32:10Speaker 17: the voting that continues up until that's Virginia has early voting.
- 32:13Speaker 7: Bob last question for you actually comes in as a
- 32:16Speaker 7: text message. Does this have to do with Kevin McCarthy's
- 32:19Speaker 7: power over the congressional representation right now? Is responding to
- 32:24Speaker 7: your point about the Republicans caving on Obobaincare subsidies Texas.
- 32:31Speaker 7: I know Bob went to battle with Kevin McCarthy when
- 32:34Speaker 7: he was speaker. Does he think McCarthy's power within the
- 32:37Speaker 7: administration is what's swaying Congress to lean towards extending the subsidies.
- 32:45Speaker 17: I think the bottom line is Republicans are weak. Republicans compromise.
- 32:49Speaker 17: Republicans are going to be afraid that letting the Obamacare
- 32:53Speaker 17: subsidies expire, which just means people have to shoulder more
- 32:56Speaker 17: of their own health insurance costs. Letting those expire will
- 33:01Speaker 17: cost them in the midterms because they're popular with some folks. However,
- 33:04Speaker 17: you've got forty percent of those who get the enhanced
- 33:07Speaker 17: subsidies who haven't even filed acclaim, haven't even used those benefits,
- 33:10Speaker 17: but they're enriching health and insurance companies and they're costing
- 33:15Speaker 17: American taxpayer in the bottom line is we don't have
- 33:17Speaker 17: the money. We've got a two trillion dollars annual deficit.
- 33:19Speaker 7: That's an interesting stat I didn't know that it was
- 33:21Speaker 7: that high of the number of people who don't even
- 33:24Speaker 7: use them. Bob, what's coming up on the Good for
- 33:26Speaker 7: America podcasts?
- 33:28Speaker 17: Well, we'll continue to focus on the fiscal situation, on
- 33:31Speaker 17: the Schumer shutdown, and what Republicans should be doing and
- 33:34Speaker 17: how they ought to be capitalizing on to reduce the
- 33:36Speaker 17: federal workforce and reduce spending and not making a bad
- 33:39Speaker 17: deal with the Democrats and doing what Democrats want. We
- 33:41Speaker 17: only Republicans who vote the way democrats do.
- 33:44Speaker 13: Well.
- 33:44Speaker 7: I appreciate your visit, sir, and we'll talk to you
- 33:46Speaker 7: again next week.
- 33:47Speaker 17: Thank you, Joe.
- 33:49Speaker 7: The premise of this too, and to follow up on this,
- 33:52Speaker 7: this idea of well it's here, this was the point
- 33:57Speaker 7: in two thousand and nine of stopping a bombacare in
- 34:01Speaker 7: the midst of the whole, Well, we have to vote
- 34:04Speaker 7: for it before we can see what's in it. And
- 34:08Speaker 7: then the thirteen times while Barack Obama was president that
- 34:12Speaker 7: the congressional leadership in Congress. Earlier, guest Tom Garrett got
- 34:17Speaker 7: into a yelling match with Donald Trump in the Oval
- 34:20Speaker 7: Office because he was trying to engage a discharge petition,
- 34:25Speaker 7: which is a congressman's only real tool to bring a
- 34:33Speaker 7: bill to the floor if the speaker doesn't allow it,
- 34:36Speaker 7: and he was running a discharge petition and getting a
- 34:39Speaker 7: lot of support for it to bring the most I
- 34:44Speaker 7: guess the latest, the thirteenth of the thirteen Obamacare repeal
- 34:48Speaker 7: and replace bills, he had said, well, listen, we all
- 34:52Speaker 7: voted for this six months ago. Donald Trump's president. Now
- 34:55Speaker 7: let's vote for it, pass it, give it to the man,
- 34:58Speaker 7: and we will repeal replace Obamacare. And Paul Ryan wouldn't
- 35:02Speaker 7: let it come to the floor. So Tom Garrett, who
- 35:05Speaker 7: was on the show earlier, start filed a discharge petition
- 35:10Speaker 7: on it, and Donald Trump dressed him down over circumventing
- 35:14Speaker 7: House leadership and that they had a plan. What was
- 35:19Speaker 7: the plan. The plan was to screw up the midterms
- 35:23Speaker 7: and Paul Ryan's out and Kevin McCarthy's in, and its
- 35:27Speaker 7: status quo because the businesses, and remember Republicans are supposed
- 35:31Speaker 7: to be pro business, so you don't want to go
- 35:34Speaker 7: against an insurance company that says they like the Obamacare subsidies,
- 35:39Speaker 7: and then COVID strikes and the insurance companies turn their
- 35:41Speaker 7: pockets inside out and say, whoa, whoa, way too many
- 35:45Speaker 7: Americans are asking for us to cover way too much
- 35:47Speaker 7: medical stuff, so outcome the subsidies. And as Bob was saying,
- 35:56Speaker 7: you know, probably one of the worst kind of virtue
- 36:01Speaker 7: signaling politicians policies that have been enacted and it's costing
- 36:06Speaker 7: us fortunes and it's not doing anything. Just like our
- 36:09Speaker 7: spending on public education, we spend a crap ton that
- 36:14Speaker 7: is a political term and a mathematical term, a metric
- 36:17Speaker 7: crap ton of money and get very little in the
- 36:20Speaker 7: way of results. We want the greatest education system, so
- 36:23Speaker 7: we're going to spend fifteen thousand dollars per student, and
- 36:27Speaker 7: our kids continue to know less and less and less
- 36:30Speaker 7: after each year of school. We want the best America
- 36:35Speaker 7: should afford the best healthcare system, and we spend more
- 36:37Speaker 7: and more and more of it, and we get worse
- 36:39Speaker 7: and worse and worse. Why are we engaging in this mania?
- 36:45Speaker 7: Good morning, you're on the air, first thing this morning
- 36:47Speaker 7: with Joe Thomas. Who's this.
- 36:50Speaker 22: Hey, this is pharmacist Bob. And what you're talking about?
- 36:53Speaker 22: Why the United States is paying for it? It's called capitalism.
- 36:57Speaker 22: The drug companies, the university. Why is the US government
- 37:03Speaker 22: sending billions of dollars every year to the universities to
- 37:07Speaker 22: have researchers who are professors who are supposed to be
- 37:11Speaker 22: teaching that are there developing new drugs, new treatment to
- 37:16Speaker 22: turn around and get loyalties, but the United States government
- 37:21Speaker 22: gets absolutely zero.
- 37:22Speaker 7: Well, here's the capitalism is only part of the phrase
- 37:27Speaker 7: you were looking for, Bob. It's crony capitalism, it's it's
- 37:31Speaker 7: it's faux capitalism. It's live action role playing in a
- 37:35Speaker 7: capitalistic way. It's capitalism only in the fact that some
- 37:39Speaker 7: people make money. It is. It is as Marxist as
- 37:44Speaker 7: actual Marxism is worse though, because it uses all the raiments.
- 37:49Speaker 7: It's it wraps the wolf in sheep's clothing so that
- 37:52Speaker 7: you don't know that it's Marxist, just like you know
- 37:55Speaker 7: it's Grandpappy. The Great Society Bills of the early sixties did.

- 42:55Speaker 20: first date.
- 42:56Speaker 5: Sure, we'll probably stay together.
- 42:59Speaker 6: Probably, it's been twenty three minutes since I ate.
- 43:03Speaker 14: I can probably swim.
- 43:05Speaker 4: You should wait thirty minutes.
- 43:07Speaker 14: Okay, Now tell me what to do?
- 43:09Speaker 23: Can it ball?
- 43:12Speaker 6: Cramp?
- 43:12Speaker 8: Oh?
- 43:13Speaker 7: I have a cramp. I can probably hit the green
- 43:18Speaker 7: from here? Probably? Can I get a mulligan ready to go?
- 43:27Speaker 22: Hey?
- 43:27Speaker 20: Are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 43:29Speaker 14: Yeah?
- 43:30Speaker 7: I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 43:35Speaker 6: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 43:39Speaker 6: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
- 43:42Speaker 6: or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving. A message

- 44:15Speaker 9: But I'm afraid of the Russians.
- 44:20Speaker 21: I can't sleep.
- 44:22Speaker 7: Bob and Moscow on with us.
- 44:24Speaker 21: Afraid of the Russians.
- 44:27Speaker 7: Are talking about the inability of Congress to do the
- 44:33Speaker 7: right thing, even though it's screaming in their face because
- 44:35Speaker 7: they're not working. And this is the corruption of it
- 44:38Speaker 7: is it becomes patently obvious they're not working for the
- 44:41Speaker 7: people they're supposed to be working for.
- 44:44Speaker 22: Bob right, No, I understand, I just was careful how
- 44:48Speaker 22: I phrase.
- 44:50Speaker 7: But you see, but yeah, here's why I pushed back
- 44:53Speaker 7: on it. And the only reason I did it is
- 44:55Speaker 7: not because I wanted to correct you. But there are
- 44:57Speaker 7: the narrative makers. I want people to hate capitalism, so
- 45:02Speaker 7: they say our problems with our healthcare system are because
- 45:06Speaker 7: of capitalism. They aren't. The problems with our medical system
- 45:10Speaker 7: are because of cronyism. And the same thing that's wrong
- 45:14Speaker 7: with our international trade. It's cronyism. It's leaning on scales
- 45:18Speaker 7: to help you know, businesses back in the district and
- 45:21Speaker 7: stuff like that. So it's I'm just I hate to
- 45:24Speaker 7: be pedantic about it, but somebody hears that, and so see,
- 45:28Speaker 7: Joe Thomas thinks capitalism is bad. No, I think what
- 45:31Speaker 7: we're doing pretending it's capitalism is bad.
- 45:35Speaker 17: Joe.
- 45:36Speaker 22: Theoretically, what's going on with all these big companies and
- 45:40Speaker 22: the board of directors where you have the few very
- 45:43Speaker 22: wealthy people that sit on these board of directors. That's
- 45:47Speaker 22: called not capitalism, that's called communism.
- 45:50Speaker 7: Right, And it's well, it's it's like, it's like we
- 45:54Speaker 7: tried to invent a way to make communism not look
- 45:58Speaker 7: like communism, which you know, if you go back and
- 46:01Speaker 7: read Marx, what Marx did was he looked at all
- 46:04Speaker 7: the dictatorships of all of humanity and said, what's their
- 46:08Speaker 7: problem is people get mad at the dictator eventually, So
- 46:11Speaker 7: what if we fragment the dictator and make them think
- 46:14Speaker 7: that it's not a dictator even though it is a dictator.
- 46:17Speaker 7: And and we'll pretend that it's not a dictator for
- 46:21Speaker 7: a little while. Uh And and that's what Marxism was
- 46:25Speaker 7: was this was this faux uh com faux dictatorship, just
- 46:31Speaker 7: wrapping it in sheep's clothing.
- 46:35Speaker 22: And just like with the educational system, why is it
- 46:38Speaker 22: that private schools don't have to follow the same requirements
- 46:44Speaker 22: as public schools.
- 46:46Speaker 7: Well, you do if you do if you take federal money.
- 46:52Speaker 22: Well, they don't follow the DEI requirements to transgender all
- 46:57Speaker 22: that other stuff. You show me a I've at school
- 47:00Speaker 22: in the United States that follows the woke idealism that
- 47:05Speaker 22: all these people are promulgating, propagating, talking about saying it's
- 47:11Speaker 22: so good, but yet their own kids don't get it
- 47:14Speaker 22: in school because they go to private schools.
- 47:18Speaker 7: And to a degree, I see that, and it's the
- 47:21Speaker 7: old expression, you know. I was we were joking about
- 47:24Speaker 7: the Babylon B earlier this morning, and I went and
- 47:28Speaker 7: I just wanted to take a look and see what
- 47:30Speaker 7: they were talking about on the Babylon B and one
- 47:33Speaker 7: of their headlines, where do they go?
- 47:36Speaker 17: Ahead?
- 47:37Speaker 7: Right here the headline just a picture of Hakeem Jeffries.
- 47:41Speaker 7: Congress reassures the nation government shutdown will not affect paychecks
- 47:45Speaker 7: for Congress. But that's what it is is it's, you know, well,
- 47:49Speaker 7: we're gonna punish you all, but not us, and we're
- 47:53Speaker 7: not going to live under the same guidelines we're making
- 47:55Speaker 7: you live under, and you're gonna like it because we're special.
- 47:59Speaker 7: And that's the problem that we have with all of
- 48:02Speaker 7: this right now, is that we're we're allowing this stuff
- 48:05Speaker 7: to happen.
- 48:08Speaker 22: And unfortunately we're following the same footsteps us in the
- 48:13Speaker 22: United Kingdom. Everything going on in England right now, we're
- 48:17Speaker 22: following the same steps that the Roman Empire went through
- 48:21Speaker 22: sure and the former Soviet Union went through under Stalin.
- 48:27Speaker 7: Well, it's it's in the United States, and it's it's
- 48:30Speaker 7: voting for self interest. That Lawrence Lawrence, Oh gosh, what's
- 48:34Speaker 7: the Lawrence's last name now? Lawrence Reid. Lawrence read for
- 48:38Speaker 7: the Foundation for Economic Education FEE FEE dot org. I
- 48:43Speaker 7: think is their website. It wasn't prepped to talk about
- 48:46Speaker 7: it at this moment, but you triggered me. He wrote
- 48:48Speaker 7: a book. It's it's a very small book. It's called
- 48:51Speaker 7: are We Rome And it talks about all the things,
- 48:53Speaker 7: including diluting the currency until there was ten percent gold
- 48:59Speaker 7: in the gold coins. Uh. And it was talking about
- 49:02Speaker 7: voting for that special indulgences and things like that's voting
- 49:07Speaker 7: for self interest. All the things that we're doing today,
- 49:11Speaker 7: we ROAM did in its day as well. And uh.
- 49:15Speaker 7: And when I say we all voted for it, I
- 49:17Speaker 7: mean like twenty percent of us voted for it, because
- 49:20Speaker 7: we had forty percent voter turnout in the past. But
- 49:23Speaker 7: I hope you're having a good afternoon there in Moscow
- 49:26Speaker 7: and uh, and I hope you.
- 49:28Speaker 22: Have beautiful weather today. It feels it's weird this autumn season.
- 49:33Speaker 22: Here is felt more like spring than autumn. It's very
- 49:38Speaker 22: strange weather this.
- 49:39Speaker 7: Year, springtime for Putin in Saint Petersburg. I don't know now,
- 49:46Speaker 7: somebody's gonna call and yell, all right, thank you, Bob.
- 49:50Speaker 22: Hey, you have a great weekend.
- 49:53Speaker 7: Four three four eight eight two four two one seven
- 49:56Speaker 7: Text message from Terry in the Errors and Omission Department.
- 50:00Speaker 7: Two months a job in the Arizona Joe. What Bob
- 50:04Speaker 7: was describing there is in communism, it's fascism. It's where
- 50:07Speaker 7: the government controls but doesn't own the manners of production.
- 50:12Speaker 7: And you're right, I sit corrected there. Yes, the control
- 50:18Speaker 7: the government holds over the manners of production and industry
- 50:23Speaker 7: is fascism, and it's promoted by the very party that
- 50:27Speaker 7: is out there saying I'm anti fascist. Gosh like or
- 50:32Speaker 7: Well or Well lives. There's a ball cap. You can
- 50:41Speaker 7: get it online some of the places selling and you
- 50:44Speaker 7: can see it in some of the choskey shops of
- 50:46Speaker 7: the thing make nineteen eighty four fiction again, But is
- 50:51Speaker 7: what we've allowed to happen because we want things that
- 50:54Speaker 7: we want and we just find that it's easier to
- 50:59Speaker 7: buttonhole Hungersman to say, hey, I don't like it when
- 51:02Speaker 7: this happens. This is like we were talking yesterday about
- 51:06Speaker 7: the radios in Tesla's. I don't want the government mandating
- 51:10Speaker 7: that there be radios in Tesla's. But I also don't
- 51:13Speaker 7: want Tesla making it out that they're not putting radios
- 51:17Speaker 7: in their cars because they don't believe in a radio.
- 51:23Speaker 7: It's not the reason. It's because electric motors are bad
- 51:27Speaker 7: for radios. Go get an electric generator and put your
- 51:32Speaker 7: radio next to it. And that's what basically is the reason.
- 51:35Speaker 7: And they don't want to spend thirty five dollars on
- 51:37Speaker 7: a part. Just like we were talking about yesterday morning.
- 51:41Speaker 7: So many things the government insists they can fix by
- 51:44Speaker 7: their insertion and they only make it worse. But we
- 51:49Speaker 7: allow them to because we see an issue and we
- 51:52Speaker 7: want that issue fixed. So and conservatives are as guilty
- 51:56Speaker 7: of that. You know, we'll vote for a congressman that
- 51:57Speaker 7: says he'll end abortion, and then you know we'll get
- 52:00Speaker 7: mad because he hasn't ended abortion. You know, blessings to
- 52:05Speaker 7: those who march around planned parenthood centers. But I really
- 52:10Speaker 7: want to work hard at eliminating not abortion, but unwanted pregnancies.
- 52:15Speaker 7: What a horrible thing. You want to know why a
- 52:18Speaker 7: society is bad is because there's a majority, or at
- 52:22Speaker 7: least a large minority of the population it doesn't want.
- 52:25Speaker 7: It's a child. That's when you know your society is
- 52:28Speaker 7: going to getting in the basket. At least Saturday morning.
- 52:33Speaker 7: I hope your station is carrying our live Saturday morning
- 52:36Speaker 7: so they can't vou shalt not get away with it.
- 52:39Speaker 7: Will be here tomorrow morning at six. Until then, I
- 52:43Speaker 7: am Joe Thomas Talk Media Network. Thank you for joining
- 52:46Speaker 7: us until tomorrow morning or Monday, so long and thanks
