  Speaker 18: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 18: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:24
  Speaker 18: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 18: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32

  Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

  Speaker 2: We didn't make talk radio. We made it better. First
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:19
  Speaker 12: I'm afraid of the Russians.
• 13:22
  Speaker 15: I can't sleep at night.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: So afraid of the Russians.
• 13:29
  Speaker 15: Afraid we've got to fight.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Bob was on with us in Moscow, and I wanted
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: to finish up with him. Clark's hanging on the line
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: with us as well. And room for you at 434-882-4217.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Mac's going to go over college football week as people
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: drop in, drop out of the top 25 and Ole
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Miss gets some comeuppance for Lane Kiffin. But, Bob, you
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: were talking about the bombardment of Moscow. Before it even started.
• 14:00
  Speaker 23: Before it even started. There was talks to prevent it
• 14:02
  Speaker 23: from happening. The Ukrainian government, the military government, wanted to
• 14:07
  Speaker 23: stop it, but they were not allowed.
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: When all those Russian troops started gathering there, On the
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: border and around the world, people are like, is somebody
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: going to do something about this? And I think the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: answer was it's their own internal affairs. We trust Zelensky
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to do the right thing. And we're ready to advise
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: or whatever silly thing Biden said about it through Karim Jean-Pierre.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: But it was whistling while Rome burned or while somebody
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: walked up with a Molotov cocktail towards Rome anyway.
• 14:42
  Speaker 23: Right. So my ultimate question is right now, was Russia
• 14:46
  Speaker 23: the instigator and the cause of this or was actually
• 14:49
  Speaker 23: the United States and Barack Obama and Biden with all
• 14:54
  Speaker 23: the money Biden's family made? Who was the actual instigator
• 14:58
  Speaker 23: of this?
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Now, faster than you could say Burisma Holdings, I think
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: pattern recognition would say. But let's let's go back to
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the fall of the Soviet Union and something Nigel Farage
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: is in some great controversy for. because if you define,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: and I take this to the nth degree, if you
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: define yourself by only the things you're against, if your
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: defining moment is I'm against, I don't know, pick something, fascism, communism, conservatism,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, if all you do is define yourself
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: as the opponent of something, you're going to wind up
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: in trouble at some point because at some point that
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: thing is going to go away. It's just the nature
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: of things. And the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or as
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: our friends at CNN refer to it as, the North
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: American Treaty Organization, was only... They're so dumb. But they
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: were defined by being against the Soviet Union. So when
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the Soviet Union fell... And George Herbert Walker Bush cut
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the American defense budget. I was there. I watched Northrop
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Grumman's Calverton facility close within six months. F-16s flying, buzzing U.S.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: 25A and Riverhead, Long Island, too, closed in six months' time.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: But the North Atlantic Treaty Organization kept going, kept treating
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: North what was his name, Yeltsin, like he was Leonid
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Brezhnev or Joe Stalin. And this is something Farage has
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: called out for quite some time is that, you know,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: was our attitude towards the fallen Russian government the reason
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Putin was able to rise to power and recreate, you know,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: a kinder, gentler Soviet Union? Because, you know, that's the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: thing is you're like, hmm, What do we have, you know,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: who are we going to fight if the enemy has fallen?
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: You know, sometimes how you deal with victory is as
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: important as how you deal with defeat. Thank you for
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: hanging on the line, Clark. What's on your mind this morning, sir?
• 17:25
  Speaker 16: Well, Joe, I got to admit, I never thought about it.
• 17:27
  Speaker 16: But after your news story about the Converse ad.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 17:33
  Speaker 11: The KKK.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I got to say, yeah.
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 17:37
  Speaker 16: I got to say that a white canvas high top
• 17:40
  Speaker 16: would complete the regalia.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Of a Klansman?
• 17:44
  Speaker 16: Yeah, it'd go right with the whole outfit.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: White canvas from my head to my feet. I am
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Billy Bob.
• 17:56
  Speaker 16: So, you know, the president came out and said that
• 18:00
  Speaker 16: if Republicans held the House, he'd give every... Adult American, $ 5, 000.
• 18:04
  Speaker 16: Have you heard the Democrat response?
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, I can't air most of the Democrats' response because
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: it's full of bad words. Well, here's the best one. Oh, yeah?
• 18:16
  Speaker 16: If we win, we're going to take $ 5, 000 from every
• 18:19
  Speaker 16: adult American.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, you caught me with coffee in my mouth there, Clark.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: You've got to watch that. I've got to be careful.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I'm taking my life in my own hands.
• 18:34
  Speaker 16: Where in the First Amendment does it say we have
• 18:36
  Speaker 16: to let communist agents in the White House?
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 18:41
  Speaker 16: So I'm just that part.
• 18:42
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: So the First Amendment guarantees your right to association. So
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I guess that would be strictly speaking under that. I
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: know you're speaking hyperbolically, but which communist agent? Because there
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: have been many in the in the White House.
• 19:03
  Speaker 16: Well, the ones from MSNBC and CNN and political matter
• 19:08
  Speaker 16: of fact, they can go associate with each other. How
• 19:11
  Speaker 16: about that?
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: You know what? Make the press pool a pool again.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: That's that's my slogan. Make the press pool a pool again,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: because underneath there is still the structure for a swimming pool.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I think FDR put the swimming pool in for aqua
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: therapy or whatever it was. But there is a swimming pool.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: underneath the floor of the White House press briefing room.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Pull the thing up. Make it a pool again. Get
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: rid of the press. Well, because I have found this
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: to be one of the real problems doing what I do,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: because these, quote unquote, journalists are basically just PR agents
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: for the White House.
• 19:56
  Speaker 11: Sure.
• 19:57
  Speaker 24: Sure.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: You know, they get to come on TV at four o'clock. Well,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: tell us what Karine Jean-Pierre told us at the press briefing.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, why would you do that? Why would you
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: want that beat? I mean, if you were honest to goodness,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: a journalist out there to unearth the worms that we
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: don't acknowledge are going through our garden, why would you
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: want to be assigned to the White House where All
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: you're getting is the agitprop that whatever administration it is
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: tells you they want to know.
• 20:30
  Speaker 24: Cue the Don Henley, Joe.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: You don't want to know, do you?
• 20:37
  Speaker 11: A bubble-headed bleach blonde.
• 20:39
  Speaker 23: And, you know, it tastes good.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Apparently. It's the way you advance in journalism is you
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: get assigned to the White House press corps. And I
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: guess that's the most high-paid... place. So, you know, what
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: is the reward doing what the administration wants?
• 20:59
  Speaker 24: Now, lastly, on my list here, early, early, you said
• 21:04
  Speaker 24: something about California ought to be ashamed when Russia can
• 21:07
  Speaker 24: have election results quicker. Joe, you know, Russia and California
• 21:14
  Speaker 24: can come up with election results at the exact same time,
• 21:18
  Speaker 24: which is before they ever let people go vote.
• 21:21
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 21:23
  Speaker 16: In how they pretend they came up with these results
• 21:28
  Speaker 16: after they.
• 21:29
  Speaker 11: Let the people vote.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I got you. And I agree. There is a hypocrisy
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to this attitude of the kabuki theater when you see
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: the baskets of ballots and all that stuff going around.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: And that's one of the things we have to get fixed.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I got a text message over the weekend about in-person
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: secret balloting, which I appreciate, and maybe we'll get to
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: when we come back. You have a good morning, sir.
• 21:58

  Speaker 26: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric

  Speaker 1: why is Iceland green and Greenland icy? He is the
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: great Mac McDonald at Full Sail University's Dan Patrick School
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: of Sportscasting and ACC legend to this day. Still, his
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: name carved in concrete walls around ACC arenas from.
• 28:50
  Speaker 11: Yeah, but I carved it.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I didn't say who carved it. Anyway, good morning, Mac.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: How was your weekend?
• 28:58
  Speaker 11: It was good.
• 28:59
  Speaker 21: Someday, remind me, the late Gene Arnett, who was the
• 29:02
  Speaker 21: quarterback of the 68 Virginia football team with Frank Quayle,
• 29:06
  Speaker 21: and Gene was my sideline guy. Remind me someday to
• 29:09
  Speaker 21: tell you the story of Gene Arnett going to Clemson
• 29:12
  Speaker 21: for the first time as a radio guy. We'll save
• 29:15
  Speaker 21: that for another episode. Another day because Gene was a
• 29:19
  Speaker 21: legend in every seven.
• 29:20
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 29:21
  Speaker 21: With everything that went on, the Ole Miss win, Boston
• 29:25
  Speaker 21: clinches on Sunday for the postseason.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: And who had that? I mean, they were behind the Nationals.
• 29:32
  Speaker 21: They were the worst team. June 24th, they were the
• 29:35
  Speaker 21: worst team in baseball, by the way.
• 29:38
  Speaker 11: It was just that time. of weekend.
• 29:41
  Speaker 21: Virginia threw up on its shoes. The Hokies played really well.
• 29:46
  Speaker 21: you know, with everything else that, you know, was just going,
• 29:48
  Speaker 21: but I tried to find the best stories I could
• 29:51
  Speaker 21: for this Monday morning.
• 29:52
  Speaker 11: Well, the, the host of.
• 29:54
  Speaker 21: Our Ryan Blaney feud.
• 29:57
  Speaker 11: Is one of the best because of what happened. They
• 30:01
  Speaker 11: were in Saturday night. It was Bristol.
• 30:04
  Speaker 21: See, host of ours, this kid who, you know, he's,
• 30:07
  Speaker 21: he's had tangles with Bubba Wallace and Chase Elliott and
• 30:10
  Speaker 21: Brad Kozlowski. And then they said, they talked about, after
• 30:15
  Speaker 21: the Darlington race where he had that his day was coming. Well,
• 30:19
  Speaker 21: Blaney and Hasselbar were battling for second on Saturday night,
• 30:22
  Speaker 21: 43 laps to go on the final stage.
• 30:25
  Speaker 11: Blaney had just passed.
• 30:27
  Speaker 21: The Spire Star, when heading into the corner, the 77
• 30:31
  Speaker 21: Chevrolet made a crossover move to the inside.
• 30:33
  Speaker 11: Blaney moved down to defend the bottom. And guess what?
• 30:36
  Speaker 11: There was contact.
• 30:37
  Speaker 21: The number 12 Ford spun, hit the wall, came to
• 30:40
  Speaker 21: a stop. And, you know, Ryan Blaney, well, then they
• 30:44
  Speaker 21: got in the pits. And Blaney grabbed Hosovar's uniform. Hosovar
• 30:50
  Speaker 21: threw a couple of right-hands.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, it was right out of Mixed Martial Arts.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: I was waiting for Ronda Rousey to come out.
• 30:59
  Speaker 21: Yeah, so with all that being said, the reporters, of course,
• 31:03
  Speaker 21: wanted to know.
• 31:04
  Speaker 11: This is a reporter with Ryan Blaney.
• 31:05
  Speaker 25: Tell me what happened out there.
• 31:07
  Speaker 17: I crashed.
• 31:08
  Speaker 25: Is there anything that you could have done?
• 31:10
  Speaker 23: I don't know.
• 31:11
  Speaker 11: Understand who was beneath me, I guess.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: But, I mean, I protected pretty early.
• 31:16
  Speaker 25: And he just kept coming left and never lifted and
• 31:18
  Speaker 25: crashed me.
• 31:19
  Speaker 21: Yeah, and it was also a weekend, just kind of
• 31:21
  Speaker 21: as a sidebar, it was also a weekend of a
• 31:23
  Speaker 21: lot of people swearing.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, Tom Brady swore.
• 31:28
  Speaker 11: Everybody's swearing now.
• 31:30
  Speaker 12: Who?
• 31:31
  Speaker 11: Oh, Tom Brady.
• 31:31
  Speaker 21: He let out the S-word when Daniels went down in
• 31:36
  Speaker 21: the Cowboys game.
• 31:37
  Speaker 11: You know, so anyway.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Can I?
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 31:40
  Speaker 11: Joe Thomas.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: First off, Ryan Blaney, the 70s have called and they
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: want their mustache back. And I'm tired. But he admits
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: he was coming down across to stop him from passing.
• 31:55
  Speaker 23: Okay.
• 31:55
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: And guess what? You didn't make it in time. Suck
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: it up. He didn't wreck you. You wrecked yourself.
• 32:01
  Speaker 11: I hit the brakes. Look, I hit the brakes. I
• 32:03
  Speaker 11: tried to avoid it.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I'm tired of these NASCAR guys. Like, oh, I was
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: just trying to defend a line that I wasn't driving in.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: And I just pulled down in there to stop some
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: other guy. And he wrecked me.
• 32:15
  Speaker 11: What's the oxymoron? Clean racing?
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Dale Earnhardt. We miss you so much. It's like Joe
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: DiMaggio and Dale Earnhardt.
• 32:22
  Speaker 11: I don't know if.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: He tripped on something.
• 32:25
  Speaker 11: Yeah, so anyway, Josimar, sorry I bumped that early. So
• 32:28
  Speaker 11: here's Josimar's explanation.
• 32:31
  Speaker 9: I don't know if he tripped on somebody or got
• 32:33
  Speaker 9: a decent one in. I don't know what a good
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: one feels like.
• 32:34
  Speaker 11: I've never thrown one.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Just trying to stop my bleeding.
• 32:36
  Speaker 9: I got loose there and was trying to just cross
• 32:38
  Speaker 9: him over and get back to second because I knew
• 32:39
  Speaker 9: that was going.
• 32:40
  Speaker 11: To be important.
• 32:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know if he made a poor decision or,
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: you know, they were telling me that Aspar said inside, so...
• 32:47
  Speaker 9: I don't know, but I think everybody saw the intensity
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: of the chase. I don't know if he's mad at
• 32:51
  Speaker 9: me or just mad at the situation or both or
• 32:53
  Speaker 9: if I'm an easy punching bag, but I don't know.
• 32:56
  Speaker 11: Yeah, he just reminds me of the kid at lunch.
• 32:59
  Speaker 21: He's got that baby face, and he's a kid at
• 33:02
  Speaker 21: lunch that everybody gets on.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: And he drives for the— and as much as I love
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Joe Gibbs as a man, whoever's running his race organization
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: right now, I have, because of my, quote, history— received
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: because people think I want to see stories about intellectual
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: property and lawsuits from one employer to another. For some reason,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: they think I'm into that stuff. You know, this whole,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: you know, you stole intellectual property from us because you
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: were a crew chief and a director of competition. And
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: then you went to work for the other guy. And
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: now we don't like it. And we want to sue
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: you to keep you from working. You know, the Aspire
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Motorsports company, As hard as it is for me to
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: say that there's some taint on the legend of Joe Gibbs,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: this is doing it. I don't know who's running his organization.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I know he wanted it to be Ty, and Ty
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: did for a while. But whoever's running it is making
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: bad decisions, and it is a bad PR scene.
• 34:09
  Speaker 11: I get it.
• 34:09
  Speaker 21: So the Ole Miss win, it was exciting.
• 34:13
  Speaker 11: Lane goes out the whole day, the whole coverage, all
• 34:16
  Speaker 11: of that stuff.
• 34:17
  Speaker 21: The North Carolina State-Vanderbilt game will go down in history.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: What happened in this?
• 34:22
  Speaker 11: I'm going to explain.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, please.
• 34:25
  Speaker 21: I'm going to explain because it deserves plenty of explaining
• 34:30
  Speaker 21: to do.
• 34:30
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 34:31
  Speaker 11: The Pack was a three-and-a-half-point underdog.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 34:36
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: They're right.
• 34:37
  Speaker 21: NC State, fourth and seven, its own four-yard line, six
• 34:42
  Speaker 21: seconds to go.
• 34:42
  Speaker 11: Okay, it's 31-28.
• 34:46
  Speaker 21: So Dave Dung tells C.J. Bailey, get in the end zone,
• 34:50
  Speaker 21: go down, kneel, whatever, let's take the safety. That didn't happen.
• 34:55
  Speaker 13: Six seconds to burn here. Bailey is tackled with the ball.
• 35:11
  Speaker 23: All right.
• 35:12
  Speaker 21: So State tried to run out.
• 35:14
  Speaker 11: The attention was saved. The quarterback, C.J.
• 35:16
  Speaker 21: Bailey, took the snap, went backwards, fumbled the ball. Vanderbilt recovers.
• 35:21
  Speaker 21: And so now here's. So imagine this in college football.
• 35:25
  Speaker 11: So it's 34-31. no time on the clock.
• 35:30
  Speaker 21: But wait, wait, the video replay guys went into the,
• 35:36
  Speaker 21: went into the booth and said, whoa, whoa, there's one
• 35:39
  Speaker 21: second left on the clock. So, so they made Vanderbilt
• 35:43
  Speaker 21: kick the extra point. 35, 31 Vanderbilt covers.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: No, there's no connection there.
• 35:55
  Speaker 11: No, nothing. Cause the guys in the replay booth. Can
• 35:58
  Speaker 11: you see, you say, did you have money on Vanderbilt?
• 36:00
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 36:00
  Speaker 11: There's gotta be a second left, right?
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Where's my draft Kings thing.
• 36:04
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 36:04
  Speaker 21: We got, we got, we got to kick this. Um,
• 36:08
  Speaker 21: it was, as I said, this will be talked about
• 36:11
  Speaker 21: forever and ever and ever. Uh, Dave Doran post game
• 36:14
  Speaker 21: just simply said, um, You know, it is what it is.
• 36:17
  Speaker 21: What are you going to do? He goes, we called
• 36:19
  Speaker 21: for the. We called for a safety, you know, to
• 36:22
  Speaker 21: go back.
• 36:23
  Speaker 11: When actually he could have taken a knee at the
• 36:25
  Speaker 11: four-yard line.
• 36:26
  Speaker 21: They could have gone victory. See, Vanderbilt had no timeouts left.
• 36:30
  Speaker 21: So I don't know why he was worried about, I mean,
• 36:32
  Speaker 21: go under center, take the knee, game over. I still
• 36:35
  Speaker 21: don't get that part. Why do we have to take
• 36:38
  Speaker 21: a safety four yards deep? So CJ tried to get,
• 36:41
  Speaker 21: and a guy came up from behind and knocked the
• 36:42
  Speaker 21: ball out.
• 36:43
  Speaker 11: I don't know.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: It's what you're supposed to do. That's what they coach
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: him up. You know, I don't.
• 36:48
  Speaker 11: I don't know. Sometimes coaches try to overthink things.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: As a man who understands that the New York Giants
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl victory in 1986 was born the day Joe
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Pizarchik mistakenly tried to hand the ball off to Larry
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Zonka and Herman Edwards picked up the bouncing ball and
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: ran into the end zone. They still call it the
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: miracle of the Meadowlands. You know, I just don't understand,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: you know, game awareness, whatever it is.
• 37:17
  Speaker 11: I know. I got you sometimes.
• 37:20
  Speaker 21: But, hey, managing my survivor pool, I'm out, got knocked out.
• 37:27
  Speaker 21: I was thinking about two other teams, 1-1. I was
• 37:30
  Speaker 21: going to go Ravens. They got beat anyway.
• 37:32
  Speaker 11: Yeah. I went with Tampa Bay.
• 37:35
  Speaker 21: The Browns, Deshaun Watson decides to throw a fourth-quarter touchdown.
• 37:38
  Speaker 11: I'm done after two weeks.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Well, Deshaun Watkins remembered, hold it, I'm Deshaun Watkins. I
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: can do this. You know, you remember, you know, the
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: hell with what the uniform says. There you go. It
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: was a fun sports weekend. The Nationals took two out
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: of three from St.
• 37:54
  Speaker 9: Louis.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: They get, you know, they, you know, you know, some
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: of the backbenchers in the league, you know, there's.
• 38:01
  Speaker 20: According to a new report from Discovery Education. 92% of
• 38:05
  Speaker 20: students say that engaging lessons make school more fun, and
• 38:08
  Speaker 20: more than 90% of educators said engagement is critical for
• 38:11
  Speaker 20: student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning, but gaps
• 38:16
  Speaker 20: remain about how to achieve, measure, and sustain students' interest
• 38:19
  Speaker 20: in the classroom. Although 63% of students agreed that students
• 38:24
  Speaker 20: are highly engaged in school, only 45% of teachers and
• 38:27
  Speaker 20: 51% of principals surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators
• 38:32
  Speaker 20: disagreed on the top indicators of engagement. 72% of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 20: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  Speaker 20: while 54% of superintendents rate performing well on assessments as
• 38:45
  Speaker 20: a top engagement indicator. Also, two-thirds of students said they
• 38:49
  Speaker 20: believed that AI could help them learn faster, yet fewer
• 38:52
  Speaker 20: than half of teachers report using AI themselves to complete tasks.

  Speaker 26: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 26: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 26: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 26: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,

  Speaker 26: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 26: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

  Speaker 6: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: of an infection that can spread from person to person.

  Speaker 2: This is Independence from Virginia, again, first thing today, by
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:22
  Speaker 17: Bum, bum, bum, bum, bummering.
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: Bum, bum, bum, bum, bummering.
• 44:28
  Speaker 25: Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bummering.
• 44:30
  Speaker 7: Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bummering.

  Speaker 4: What country's got a feeling really into stealing bummering?
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: So the weekend, because the president knows how to play
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: these folks. So on Wednesday at a rally, President Trump
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: said the gas prices are a small price to pay
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: for what we're doing in Iran. Here's the problem. And
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: it's only, you know, in a sense, he's understanding that
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: that length of a soundbite was about the attention span
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: of the average news director, not news consumer. No, no, no.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: You'd listen longer. But the news director wants to move
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: on with some other story about climate change or such
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: that they've been paid to insert or pharmaceuticals, you name it.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: So we only have just that. Just use that. And
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: so President Trump speaks in these truncated punch outs so
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: that they can be easily digested as clicks and clips.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: And if you've ever heard the president go on at
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: a rally, you know, he can talk for an hour
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: on what color the sky is. And I'll tell you,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: it was the most amazing, whatever, you know, he doesn't
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: have a problem going on at length about things, but
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: he has understood that in order to get heard in
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: the news media, he speaks sometimes in these bumper sticker platitudes.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: They'll fit behind a hashtag. They'll fit on the chromium pulpit.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: I guess I shouldn't call it that anymore. When was
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: the last time a bumper was made out of chrome?
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: In any event, so he's right, but he's incomplete. So
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: then the weekend is consumed with people Oh, and it's
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: every Rick Wilson's wet dream to go out there and say,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: this is why this guy is wrong for Republicans. Okay,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: first off, I want to know what happened to the
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: 97 billion gallons of crude oil that we got from Venezuela.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: Can somebody explain that to me? See, the president needs
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: to do some longer form stuff on what we're doing
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: in Iran. Obviously, he doesn't want to give it all
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: away because he knows they get CNN at whatever cave,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: whatever closet the Ayatollah Jr. is in. At some point,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: he'll come out of the closet. I'm pretty sure.
• 47:18
  Speaker 9: What?
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, I mean, you infer what you will. I
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: can't hold warranty on just what you infer. I mean
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: that they've got him sequestered somewhere and At some point,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: he'll have to re-enter this. What did you think I mean?
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: So Ayatollah Jr. is in hiding, but wherever he is,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: he gets CNN. So if President Trump talks at great length,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: then it undermines the mission. What is the mission? Americans
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: during World War II were told what we were doing.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Americans currently are not being told what we're doing. They're
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: being told your life sucks and he's why. Vote Democrat.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: The preceding was provided as a public service message from
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: your local broadcaster. But this is a battle that You
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: and I have spent more than enough time. I'm not
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: getting paid by the president to, you know, explainify things.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: But I do it to a degree because I know
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: you get inundated with friends and family and, you know,
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: folks who are not Trump supporters who were Republican friends
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: of yours. What do you think of this? Make of this?
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: Says it's a small price to pay. points out that
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: the prices were higher under Biden and there was no
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: attempt to end an unending funding stream for terrorists who
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: just want to come and blow you up just to
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: say they did. And when George W. Bush said we're
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: going to go after the state sponsors of terrorism, I
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: think you and I rightfully believed at the time he
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: meant Iran and Afghanistan and all these places that were
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: using Al Qaeda and Hamas and Hezbollah as cheapy armies
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: on the fly mercenaries if you will I think mercenaries
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: have it in their mind to come home at the
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: end of the day. Not so much these terrorists seeking
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: to weaponize the very things that we do against us.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: So the president could spend more time on this, but
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: the press wouldn't cover it. They'd pick some other part
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: of the statement out. And maybe this is Susie Wiles
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: and the staff saying, listen, If we keep them on
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: these message points, then there won't be that glib, off-the-cuff
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: comment that the press will get distracted with and run
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: off into the woodshed. Because the president's not dumb. He
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: does listen to people. I know the caricature that you
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: have of Donald Trump is that he doesn't listen to people.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Last time I checked, He doesn't know a darn thing
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: about laying sod at a golf course or mixing drinks
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: for a full clubhouse at a golf course or dealing
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: blackjack or managing an office park or making wine. But
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: he does and his family do all of those things.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: And the caricature of Donald Trump as somebody who just
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: does everything himself because he's a, I don't know, maniacal,
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: self-aggrandizing thug. He built the building by himself. He built
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: the golf course by himself. He built the casino by himself.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: He built the winery by himself. And to be fair,
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: President Trump brings some of that on by the way
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: he talks about himself. But the gas prices being what
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: they are, are the gas company's fault. There is plenty
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: of gas out there. It's OPEC. It's allowing this world
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: hostage taker at OPEC to dictate costs. It would be
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: if you're a farmer, as if Cargill or Smithfield could
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: come in and say, this is what you have to
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: charge for your chicken parts. Or this is what you
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: have to charge for your seeds. And they do. They do.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Especially the GMO special seeds that only grow once. Which
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are frustrated by, but as I've said,
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: started with the best intention of fighting blight. You get
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: a new genome each time out of the wheat so
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: that it's less blight or it's more blight tolerant. But
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: it gets, you know, as with all things, eventually they
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: get turned and perverted.
• 52:51
  Speaker 13: In today's troubled world, our USA Armed Forces stand ready
• 52:54
  Speaker 13: to protect you and our American way of life. When
