  Speaker 1: all natural and free of artificial intelligence.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Stuart said, steal me step.

• 0:26
  Speaker 4: no one that Joe's as smiled he on the eggs.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Let them be, Joe, Bless you for letting us be
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: of service to you this morning.
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: I want to be yo.

  Speaker 2: That is our number. You can text message because I
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: know how crazy it is on a morning, especially a
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Monday morning. That's three days worth of stuff being put
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: off till the last minute at all coming down on
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: your head. So if you just want to holler something
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: into voice to text and hit send, we will read
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: your words into the public record. You can call us
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I love the conversation at four three four eight eight
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: two four two one seven, as well or emails to
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: JT in the morning radio at gmail dot com. Is
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: there a deal? President Trump apparently has sent a new
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: proposal to the Iranians. We'll get into there. Also the
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: weaponization of government fund. I've taken a controversial position, because
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: pandering will indicate to anyone who wants to well seek
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: popularity for not telling the truth, but for telling you
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: what you want to hear, you will say, Oh, the
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: taxpayer fund shouldn't be the weaponization of government fund, shouldn't
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: be funded by taxpayer dollars. It's not their fault. And
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I've taken a controversial position on that, and we'll get
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: into that a little bit more. Graham Platner has suggested
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: some compromising positions to some women in text messaging, and
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: apparently it's just gossip, although his wife did say being
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: married to Graham Platner as hard can you imagine being
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: represented by him in the US Senate. So squeeze back
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: into that story as well as all the other stuff
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: going on this morning. Palisades fire still going on. Apparently
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: ships have been getting through the strait of horror moves
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the question though, where's our oil, whar's our natural gas?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And why just cause is sufficient to raise everybody's oil
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and natural gas prices heading into the midterms, And who
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: is going to actually say, Hey, maybe we don't need
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: to charge you our gas taxes right now because you're
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: struggling so badly especially businesses. But we'll get into those
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: stories and more for you. Plus the Senate candidates that
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: aren't embroiled in sexting controversies all coming up, But let's
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: start with Iran and the US. Apparently, US Central Command
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: has been for the last three weeks shuttling ships through
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the Strait of Hormuz, seventy in total so far, leaked
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to The New York Times, the President has sent a
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: new proposal to Tehran response to the one that came
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: in last week from whoever it is running Iran these days.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Some say it's the IRGC, some say it's still the
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Committee of Experts, but maybe not so much specific Ayatolda
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: this time around. We don't know, but their chief negotiator
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: warned that the US is not to be trusted. Mohammed
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Bagheer Galibov's remarks came as the President sent a message
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: through an interview with his daughter Lara Trump. The one
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: guarantee I have is that there will be no nuclear weapon.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: They have agreed to that. President Trump also blasted The
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: New York Times for saying the departure of thousands of
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: federal government lawyers was a negative thing. Ivan sepaida candidate
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: for president of Colombia, is saying that there was voter
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: fraud and will not accept the result of the first
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: round of voting after falling behind outsider Aberaldo Della Esprella
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: in Sunday's election. Della Esprella is pro Trump and supported
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: by the administration in the United States, but CIPAIDA, the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: out to the candidate and President Patro Gustavo Petro are
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: saying they have doubts that the election was conducted honestly.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Steve Hilton has dropped a human trafficking bomb on Democrat
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Xavier Besserra. People say when he was Health and Human
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Services Secretary under President Biden, he lost eighty five thousand children. No,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: he didn't lose them. He pushed them out of a
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: system without caring where they went, dismantled vetting, and pushed
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: migrant kids into the arms of sex traffickers. And Corey
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Booker has joined the cacophony of Democrats, saying that he
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: has concerns over the kind of Senator Graham Platner would be.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Didn't say he wouldn't vote for him, but then again,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: he's not allowed to vote in the Senate race as
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: a resident of New Jersey. Correct. Many of you know
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I write a state based column on our events and
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: affairs here in Virginia. My most recent one, about the
• 6:00

  Speaker 20: Freedom just another word for nothing left.

  Speaker 17: Good Mobby Lord when Bobby sang the blue.
• 13:41
  Speaker 21: And feeling good both good enough for me, good enough.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Army and Bobby look so different, you know, It's It's
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: one of those things. So many versions of that, Chris
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Christophers and Biscuit that, but obviously most people have only
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: heard Jenis Joplin's version of it. It's like jarring almost
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: of the year, someone else do it there here email
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: on the controversial position, I staked out the steamed former
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: vice president, saying he's urging the president somehow, maybe through
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: going on national television to drop this victims of weaponized
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: government fund settlement fund there. And I said, I don't
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: have a problem with it being taxpayer money, because we,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: the taxpayers, are the ones who allowed these government officials
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: to be in there. Terry writes in too JT in
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: the Morning Radio at gmail dot com. Joe, you say
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: we voted these people in. I didn't vote for any
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: of these people. These are political appointees. Sure, I may
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: have voted for some of the people who appointed them,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: but at some point we need to be we oh,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: we need to be separated from this because we didn't
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: vote for them. And in your own words, Joe, only
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: fifty percent of us turnout to vote anyway, so we
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: is really more an abstract on what twenty six percent
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: of us have been fooled into believing. Well, yes, those
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: are my own words. I absolutely own the fact that
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I've pointed to the low voter turnout society that we're
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: in right now anyway. But part of that is because
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: we're given so few choices in who the hell we're
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: going to vote for anyway, we have these permanent ballot
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: slots for Republicans and Democrats, ostensibly creating the fourth and
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: fifth branches of our government. Can't find that the US
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Constitution can. You can't find a lot of the things
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: that the Commerce Department uses to regulate commerce in the
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Commerce Clause, which isn't even a whole sentence. I believe
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: the Second Amendment is actually longer than the Commerce Clause. Yet, boy,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: they sure don't like the Second Amendment as much as
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: they love to pervert the Commerce Clause. Anyway, thank you
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: for the email, Terry, appreciate it. Matt is on the
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: line at four three four eight eight two four to
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: two one seven. Good morning, Matt. What's going on, sir?
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I thought i'd call up and defend Clark's position.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's fine, you know, if you have a good hilltop.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Well, what I find galling here is that, Okay, the
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: taxpayers are going to end up paying for all of this,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: and at the same time, the purposeres are going to walk.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: And I understand that. This is why I'm fine with
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: his compromise proposal. Is then the US government goes after
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Komi struck Page, you know, and even those who appointed them.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I don't have a problem going after Hillary Clinton for
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: appointing these people, or Eric Holder or any of these people.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Lord knows, we discovered during this whole redistricting brew haha.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Eric Holder apparently has access to large sums of money.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't have a problem with going after
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: the people after the fact that did this. But if
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: do you get my point though, if we are ever
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: going to be back in our rightful position as owners
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: and operators of this enterprise known as the United States,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: we cannot at any point see that authority that oh no,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: that wasn't us. We didn't do that. Because there's a
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: bunch of other things that have to happen. We have
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: to restrict how much the government can do. We have to,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: you know, reinvigorate our representation in the government, even under
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: the limited auspices it's supposed to have constitutional authority. For
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: those are things that have to happen, as well as
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: making sure that the people who are victims of a
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: weaponized government are made whole. You get what I'm saying.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Well, I think one of the things that I find
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: unfair in this is that you are saying, we are
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: the ones who.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Did it, and we allowed it.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: We allowed for it, As your emailers said, only you know,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: fifty percent of the people vote. But it isn't just
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: we in that this is a process that started more
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: than one hundred years ago.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I mean you have to go back to.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Teddy Roosevelt, to Woodrow Wilson, to Franklin Roosevelt, all of
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: these people that were in government that convinced our parents,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: our grandparents that well, here, let me just take this
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: little bit of power here, and then a little while later,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: let me take this.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Little bit of power here.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: And it is something that's slowly evolved over time. And
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I'm beginning to feel like the guy at the party
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: who suddenly looks around and everybody's gone, and there's the
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: bartender standing there.
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: With the bill.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: That's that's a great analogy for it. You're you're not wrong,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: But what impetus is there for us to fight for
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: the change If the corruptions are at some point going
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: to be on our pockets. I know they already are
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: because the value of our dollar is ninety percent lower
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: than it was when the Great Society started. I know
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: we're already paying the price, but somehow, somewhere, the impact
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: of this mismanagement, this misrepresentative government has to become real.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Otherwise we're not going to see more than fifty percent
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: of the population turnout. And I would argue that it's
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: just as much the fault of the fifty percent that
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: didn't show up to vote because they didn't think it mattered.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I think in a lot of ways
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: it is slapping us in the face right now in
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: that I mean, you were talking before about this guy
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Platiner up in Maine. No, and do you mean to
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: tell me in the entire state of Maine, of all
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: all the people that live in Maine, the two best
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: people they have to send to Washington are Susan Collins
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: and grayham Platter.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: This proves my theory that I think our representatives in Congress,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: the Senate, and the House are the people that, for
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: the most part, we can do without. In our communities
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: were like, hey, send him to Washington, get him out
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: of the way. He's just a problem when he's back
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: here at home. Can you imagine what Vermonter's life would
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: be like if Bernie Sanders wasn't in the US Senate.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean this is when I first moved down
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: here from Vermont. People were asking me, you know, why
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: did Bernie, why did Vermont send a socialist to Congress?
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: And I said, oh, that's simple. They looked at the
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: example of Jim Jefferts. They said, we'll send Bernie to
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: We'll send Bernie to Washington, and we'll never see that
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: son of the bitch.

  Speaker 2: And it's time for our sports director Mac McDonald to
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: join us and to bring us into what happened over
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: the weekend. I don't know, do we need like four
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: segments for this. It's a busy weekend.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I can go.
• 28:33
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean, and I told you I think last
• 28:37
  Speaker 19: week or week before that. I get so enthralled by
• 28:39
  Speaker 19: the women's College World Series because I just love watching
• 28:44
  Speaker 19: women's soft phone how good they are, and they're fundamentals.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: They throw harder than a lot of major leaguers they
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: throw they bring it like one hundred.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Miles I know.
• 28:53
  Speaker 19: And the Texas Tech UCLA game last night was incredible.
• 28:58
  Speaker 19: The Red Raiders had a six to three league bottom
• 29:00
  Speaker 19: of the seventh, UH UCLA scores three to tie, and
• 29:06
  Speaker 19: then you know, Texas Tech takes the lead, and I
• 29:08
  Speaker 19: mean it was it was just an incredible finish. And
• 29:11
  Speaker 19: so now they get into their you know, double elimination
• 29:15
  Speaker 19: round brown robin play along with uh, you know, college
• 29:19
  Speaker 19: baseball today a lot of teams were eliminated with the
• 29:22
  Speaker 19: week in the course and Latin, but Saint Mary's, who
• 29:24
  Speaker 19: had beaten number one seed, used ce LA twice and
• 29:27
  Speaker 19: then they ended up getting beat by cal Poly. So
• 29:30
  Speaker 19: it was it was just in so many ways, it
• 29:35
  Speaker 19: was just an incredible weekend. Then you throw into Saturday
• 29:38
  Speaker 19: night because I decided to kick back and uh, you know,
• 29:40
  Speaker 19: silently rooting for San Antonio. Why okay, Tim Duncan played there. Secondly,
• 29:46
  Speaker 19: a very good friend of mine who died, Mark Fridingen,
• 29:49
  Speaker 19: was a scout for the Spurs.
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: I've always been.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: A Popovich fan anyway, U.
• 29:54
  Speaker 19: So there was always something about San Antonio that I
• 29:56
  Speaker 19: just like, my daughter and son in law lived there
• 29:59
  Speaker 19: for a while, and I don't know, it was just
• 30:02
  Speaker 19: it was one of those weekends that you're just watching
• 30:05
  Speaker 19: all this all this stuff, and yeah, I did get
• 30:08
  Speaker 19: time to get outside and put a golf club in
• 30:10
  Speaker 19: my hand and play in the sun and you know that.
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: Kind of thing.
• 30:13
  Speaker 19: So there was but all of all that, and then
• 30:16
  Speaker 19: Denny Hamlin wins the Nashville shootout last night, comes from
• 30:20
  Speaker 19: he got a penalty last place and ends up winning
• 30:23
  Speaker 19: like and it's his sixty second. I'll have more on
• 30:26
  Speaker 19: that tomorrow as we try to, you know, get through
• 30:28
  Speaker 19: the weekend. But if that wasn't enough, ladies and gentlemen,
• 30:31
  Speaker 19: bald guys can still play, okay. So Alex Caruso, who
• 30:35
  Speaker 19: is a Texas A and M guy at two time
• 30:36
  Speaker 19: NBA champion uh. He played with the Lakers for four years,
• 30:40
  Speaker 19: Bulls for three four hundred and seventy three career games,
• 30:44
  Speaker 19: only one hundred and thirty three starts.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: This is the guy that you know, I just I.
• 30:48
  Speaker 19: Like a lot because he comes up and just acts
• 30:51
  Speaker 19: like a jerk.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: You know, it's just the way he talks and.
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: Plays defense or whatever.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 30:57
  Speaker 19: Yeah, he's like a fly on a picnic. You get
• 31:00
  Speaker 19: this guy out and give them out of my face
• 31:02
  Speaker 19: or whatever. But and so when he was interviewed, they
• 31:05
  Speaker 19: had a you know, the what do they call the
• 31:08
  Speaker 19: escape interview or last day and you know everything's over
• 31:11
  Speaker 19: the getaway interview, I guess. And so Crusoe was, you know,
• 31:15
  Speaker 19: he was still pretty fired up that the Thunder did
• 31:19
  Speaker 19: not get to the finals against the Knicks.
• 31:21
  Speaker 23: You know, whether or not, you know, we thought they
• 31:23
  Speaker 23: were going to be you know who they've turned out
• 31:25
  Speaker 23: to be in a really good team. You know, there's
• 31:29
  Speaker 23: not much I can't like, I had no idea. I
• 31:32
  Speaker 23: didn't speculate or say that, just because so much happens
• 31:35
  Speaker 23: in the course of the season, you know, like one
• 31:38
  Speaker 23: injury changes the team's entire season.
• 31:40
  Speaker 19: Yeah, so bottom line, he was being asked you, do
• 31:43
  Speaker 19: you think that the Spurs are worth it? Get He well,
• 31:46
  Speaker 19: not really. He says we should have been there. So
• 31:48
  Speaker 19: the disappointment comes from, yeah, hey they're good. We lost
• 31:52
  Speaker 19: to them for out of five times during the regular season,
• 31:54
  Speaker 19: but we probably should be there.
• 31:56
  Speaker 23: That's just the confidence we kind of carry ourselves with,
• 31:58
  Speaker 23: and myself in particular. So yeah, that's probably the biggest
• 32:03
  Speaker 23: disappointment of that is just you don't always have a
• 32:06
  Speaker 23: team that can win it every year in your career,
• 32:09
  Speaker 23: and you know, I think this team this year was
• 32:11
  Speaker 23: good enough to do it and we didn't. So that's
• 32:13
  Speaker 23: that's probably the part that'll sit have you.
• 32:15
  Speaker 19: And so after signing with and he reunited with the
• 32:18
  Speaker 19: head coach because Mark Dagno coached him during his time
• 32:23
  Speaker 19: of the Oklahoma City Blue Okay, so when he was
• 32:26
  Speaker 19: so and now fans and media, so they debate the
• 32:29
  Speaker 19: all Bald team.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: All right, you know, bald.
• 32:34
  Speaker 19: Is one of those things like you know, Joe and
• 32:37
  Speaker 19: somebody's you're in a room and they go, where's Joe
• 32:39
  Speaker 19: Thomas And they'll go, he's the guy with what would
• 32:42
  Speaker 19: they say he's the guy with the glasses or would
• 32:45
  Speaker 19: they say he's the guy with the long hair, the
• 32:47
  Speaker 19: guy that's the way they identify you right Well, for me,
• 32:51
  Speaker 19: it's he's the ball guy.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: You know, it's normally or he's the But to.
• 32:55
  Speaker 19: Me, it's the bald guy, all right, all bald team,
• 32:58
  Speaker 19: Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant. Of course, when Kobe shaved his head,
• 33:02
  Speaker 19: Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Charles Barkley, and Caruso stands out as
• 33:07
  Speaker 19: the most recognizable now acting bald icon in the league.
• 33:10
  Speaker 19: As a matter of fact, they call him the bald
• 33:13
  Speaker 19: Mamba to.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Go with thee Bryan.
• 33:16
  Speaker 9: The Kobe Bryant.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: People aren't suing about that any way.
• 33:20
  Speaker 19: Caruso is gonna he's gonna be playing some golf now
• 33:22
  Speaker 19: and he goes to that big Lake Tahoe, big celebrity
• 33:24
  Speaker 19: thing with Barkley, and he'll be you know, he'll be
• 33:27
  Speaker 19: paired up.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: So I'm sorry. I always thought. I always thought if
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I was one of those guys that started to have
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: the receding hairline, I never wanted to be that guy with,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: you know, a bald head and a ponytail still growing
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: out of the back, like I've got to run my f.
• 33:41
  Speaker 19: My favorite when I was trying to decide which way
• 33:43
  Speaker 19: to go because I lost everything on top and I
• 33:45
  Speaker 19: had the hair on the side. I'm trying to figure
• 33:47
  Speaker 19: out what to do, and I'm doing TV and Channel
• 33:49
  Speaker 19: twenty nine. I'm sorry, and so Jimmy, my little buddy,
• 33:52
  Speaker 19: you know, Casala said just shave it, just take it all.
• 33:55
  Speaker 19: So one day at Acac, I just took it all.
• 33:57
  Speaker 19: And I had to do TV the next day, so
• 34:00
  Speaker 19: I put I put in a tape in the old
• 34:02
  Speaker 19: VCR because I wanted to record the segment that I
• 34:05
  Speaker 19: was doing on Channel twenty nine every Friday. It was
• 34:07
  Speaker 19: called voice tracks, and I said, okay, I need to
• 34:09
  Speaker 19: so just to see what. So I dressed nice whatever
• 34:13
  Speaker 19: ball and I went home.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: I was in shock.
• 34:15
  Speaker 19: I looked at the tape. I went, I'm Uncle Fester.
• 34:20
  Speaker 19: The I am the Adams family Uncle Fester with this bald.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: You see. I think I don't think we can be
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: good judges. So, you know, I went through my loomphoma thing,
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: and I was hopeful that maybe I wouldn't lose my hair.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: But you know, the first shower I came back, well
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: yeah it came back. That's it, you know. But for
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: for about a year, I looked like Voldemort from the
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Harry Potter movies. I had, you know, all, because I
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: figured my head was shaped right for it. I have
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: my ears don't stick out. I figured if I had to,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, I just go. I would go, you know,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: white Jordan, and it's just it's not a good look.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: But then everyone I talked to said, no, you look great.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: You look great, Joe, you look great. And I think,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: you know, not to make you feel like I'm a
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: grand platiner text to you, but I think you know
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: you you get it going on with the So maybe
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: it's something you You cannot judge whether you look good
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: yourself with bald head.
• 35:19
  Speaker 9: You know, it's just one of those things.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: It's become the part.
• 35:22
  Speaker 19: And now you have to battle like if you've ever
• 35:24
  Speaker 19: seen Stuart Sink and so the golfers who are bald.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: So Stuart Sink plays on the scene in your tour.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Now his head is so white.
• 35:31
  Speaker 19: He looks like a pimple because his face is so tan,
• 35:35
  Speaker 19: but the head the top of it.
• 35:37
  Speaker 9: So I balance.
• 35:38
  Speaker 19: I go, and I know there's a skin cancer thing,
• 35:40
  Speaker 19: but I'm very careful. I try to balance the color
• 35:43
  Speaker 19: so I don't look like Stuart sinc to me, I
• 35:46
  Speaker 19: got this real phobia of white white dome. And I
• 35:51
  Speaker 19: don't want to take you know, because golfers never take
• 35:53
  Speaker 19: a lot of them, never take their head.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: But anyway, of course not.
• 35:56
  Speaker 19: It's just a fire when I look in the morning
• 35:58
  Speaker 19: and so and then you know, every other day or so,
• 36:01
  Speaker 19: you put the clippers to it, and you put a
• 36:04
  Speaker 19: razor to it. And uh, one day I was in
• 36:06
  Speaker 19: a hurry and I gashed my head so bad it
• 36:10
  Speaker 19: looked like Kennedy assassination too. And so you know, at
• 36:14
  Speaker 19: that point that was how I basically met my wife.
• 36:17
  Speaker 19: I was dating her and she had she was a nurse.
• 36:18
  Speaker 19: I had to come over and patch up my head
• 36:20
  Speaker 19: because I had this interview. It's just so anyway, I
• 36:23
  Speaker 19: can tell you a million hit. But for so, Alex Caruso,
• 36:26
  Speaker 19: thank you being the bald Mamba and playing so well.
• 36:29
  Speaker 19: But we'd also like to thank you for participating because
• 36:33
  Speaker 19: naturally the Spurs now we're in spurs Neck. Spurs are
• 36:37
  Speaker 19: favorite now. And but the people at the New York
• 36:40
  Speaker 19: people I talked to yesterday, we were at a sports
• 36:43
  Speaker 19: bar yesterday in the rain, and uh, and boy, the Knicks,
• 36:46
  Speaker 19: the Knicks fans are coming out of the woodwork. People
• 36:49
  Speaker 19: that eve they just lived in New York a little bit,
• 36:51
  Speaker 19: and I go, come on and one time it went
• 36:53
  Speaker 19: ninety nine and whatever.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: My cousin sent me this knowing that my dad was
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: in c and ticket holder at Madison Square Garden. It's
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: a list of things that didn't exist the last time
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: the Knicks were in the NBA Final. About that, the iPhone,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: You know, half the Knicks roster didn't exist in nineteen
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: ninety nine, the last time they made it in. It's
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: just it's a it's a wonderful ass you think about
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: all those things that didn't exist. Social media. Facebook didn't
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: come along until two thousand.
• 37:27
  Speaker 28: What was cast like a dollar forty seven in ninety
• 37:30
  Speaker 28: You know we were complaining about that then too, but
• 37:34
  Speaker 28: you know it was somebody then sent me a video
• 37:37
  Speaker 28: of and it was Larry Johnson Grandmama, uh and then
• 37:41
  Speaker 28: Latrell spree Well and Marcus Camby and I'm like, these

• 38:04
  Speaker 13: percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
• 38:08
  Speaker 13: and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
• 38:11
  Speaker 13: critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
• 38:15
  Speaker 13: but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
• 38:19
  Speaker 13: student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
• 38:22
  Speaker 13: students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
• 38:26
  Speaker 13: forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
• 38:29
  Speaker 13: principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
• 38:33
  Speaker 13: the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 13: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  Speaker 13: while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
• 38:45
  Speaker 13: assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
• 38:49
  Speaker 13: students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
• 38:52
  Speaker 13: yet fewer than half of teachers report using AI themselves

  Speaker 20: Baby and gonna pay a little bit along me You
• 44:24
  Speaker 20: ever getting you off of my mind?
• 44:29
  Speaker 9: Baby?
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Gonna pay a little.
• 44:32
  Speaker 11: Bit alongeng.
• 44:36
  Speaker 20: I've been love in you a long long time.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, baby, And I'm not even gonna start thinking
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: about that yet. It's four three four eight a two
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: four two one seven, And I don't mean that in
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: that pejorative Grand Platner style of baby. By the way,
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: on the subject of grand Platner, hamp in Vero Beach
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: down the Treasure Coastway, rights in the Wife is the
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: one that made it known. The texts were first reported
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: by The Wall Street Journal, which wrote that Girtner Platner's
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: wife had told the campaign in August about the messages
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: she had found on Platner's phone earlier in their marriage.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Times published a story on Saturday about the text named
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: the former ad Genevieve MacDonell as one of the then
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: campaign staffers who confirmed the messages. Both newspapers reported that
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Gertner said she wanted to ensure that these texts didn't
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: pose a political liability to her husband. The novice candidate
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: out cursed spot. It's like American retelling of the Scottish
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: play Shakespeare's Scottish Play, where it the king himself was
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: not so much more than just doing his wife encouraged
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: him to you should run for Senate. You should run
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: from Senate because all those people who don't like Susan
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Collins would vote for you. You should run for so
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: you're smarter than everyone. You shouldn't be hanging around sticking
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: yard signs in for these other people. You should be
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: the senator and I should be the senator's wife. And
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: I said that from the onset of today's program. This
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Girtner woman is and she's out there, and I'm sure,
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: just like all things in a marriage, she tells the press,
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: being married is hard. Being married to Graham Plattner is
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: apparently hard, and most of us get it. And we
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: don't know him nearly as well as you do, Miss Gertner.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: But the salacious sexting texts that would have already scuttled
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: the campaign of a Republican are just gossip, just so much,
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: you know, salaciousness. But well, why don't we talk about
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: real things? Do we have the do we have the
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Platner couple? And they were they so they were gotten
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: a hallway of probably a tractor pull or something. Uh,
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: they were on their way to and the press. I
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: don't know if this is somebody who's actually in the
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: main news media or if This is just somebody who
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: was working for the Platner campaign. Maybe Missus Girtner, missus
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: Gertner had paid this guy to ask this. I can't
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: even necessarily call it a question.
• 47:46
  Speaker 17: Heard these videos, side these video last night about this situation.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: This situation, Grant, we've heard these videos. No, just say, hey,
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: did you send the text?
• 47:57
  Speaker 17: What?
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: Why did you send the text? You know, were you
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: trying to cheat on your wife? What was the deal?
• 48:04
  Speaker 17: Where? We heard Amy's video Siamese video last night about
• 48:07
  Speaker 17: this situation, the story of the Times and the Journal.
• 48:10
  Speaker 9: What would your statement be at this.
• 48:12
  Speaker 11: Point, it's no surprise to me that the established media
• 48:16
  Speaker 11: outlets are just going to run gossip.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: By the way, isn't it funny how they get the
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: establishment media Jesus when it's all of a sudden somebody
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: questioning them, and I believe. I mean, if you're a Democrat,
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: you just presume the press is going to be on
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: your side. So I can understand Platner being a little
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: off put that the press wasn't taking his side in
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: this story. But then he goes.
• 48:42
  Speaker 11: On instead of wanting to talk about the things that
• 48:44
  Speaker 11: actually matter in this race, which are the material realities
• 48:49
  Speaker 11: that the maners.
• 48:49
  Speaker 9: Are working with.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I and one would presume that he was
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: about to go into those material realities, right.
• 48:57
  Speaker 9: And these people are going to try to make this
• 48:59
  Speaker 9: race about anything but.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: What it's supposed to be about, including me, because I'm
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: still talking about what apparently it's not supposed to be about.
• 49:07
  Speaker 9: Which is policy. I never want to talk about policy.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: So one would presume then that the erstwhile Senator of
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: Maine would then start talking about policy.
• 49:17
  Speaker 11: Right, Amy and I have a very loving and very
• 49:20
  Speaker 11: happy marriage.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: It's okay that that's not policy unless you You also
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: didn't address whether you sent the text or not. Maybe
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: she was in on it. Maybe you know, swingers got
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: a swing.
• 49:35
  Speaker 9: You know, they would very much like to try to
• 49:37
  Speaker 9: rip that apart.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: We're going to why would we care if you're married
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: to her or not? You know how many senators or divorced?
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Do you have much money? The US House and Senate
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: pays in non disclosure agreements for people who are sexually
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: harassed by better people than you. Graham.
• 49:54
  Speaker 9: We're going to come after us in every awful way
• 49:56
  Speaker 9: that they possibly can.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Still haven't heard any of this policy? Want to talk
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: about and.
• 50:01
  Speaker 9: We're just gonna keep talking about the fact that the
• 50:02
  Speaker 9: hospitals are.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: Closing, you mean because of Obamacare.
• 50:05
  Speaker 9: The fact that child care facilities.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Are closing because they can't afford the money that isn't
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: coming in. That's worth ten cents to the dollar on
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: what it was worth at the beginning of the Great Society.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: And besides, when did it become the government's job. Oh,
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: that's right, Joe Biden said two years old, we'll take
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: your kids from you.
• 50:27
  Speaker 9: The fact that teachers and nurses aren't paid enough.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: So the head of the teachers union isn't on your
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: speed dial yet, Graham, I'm sure you have enough Democrat
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: operatives around you where you can get the head of
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: the teachers' union on the phone and say, why aren't
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: the teachers getting paid more? I like it when they
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: start to talk about policy because you can point out
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: their hypocrisy. But the ethics of somebody who will so
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: open themselves up to that kind of compromise. And keep
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: in mind Bill Clinton had quite a cadre of people
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: running interference, so nobody would ever find out about what
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: apparently was famous in Arkansas, which was his philandering. And
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: why is philanderings a thing I couldn't care less about
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: what you and your wife's relationship is. Graham. However, if
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: you put yourself in a position of doing something that
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: you feel like needs to be kept a secret, now
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: you're into this Clintonian era of corruptibility. You are now
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: no longer simply basing a decision on what you think
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: is right and what you think is wrong. You're basing
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: your decision based on what you think is going to
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: keep you out of trouble. So I mean, as much
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: as I don't trust Graham Platner as far as I
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: can throw him, I trust lady Macbeth even less in
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: this because she is, as you point out, Hamp very
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: clearly the one who wants to be a senator's wife,
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: much more than perhaps even Graham wants to be a senator.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Which is always also a very good combination. Oh no,
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: that's always always when you get the best representation, when
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: it's you know, when I ran for Congress because my
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: wife wanted me to. Oh my goodness, you can't make
• 52:42
