• 0:04
  Speaker 1: John in Virginia, Republican.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Let's hear from you on a need to know basis,
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: because you need to know the First Thing Today.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Jorge said, steal me.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: This is the worst decision having life.
• 0:23
  Speaker 5: Joe is everything a dream.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: All the jas needs the one that Joe's smiled.
• 0:30
  Speaker 6: He only aggs.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Let it be.
• 0:35
  Speaker 7: Joe Jack and Jack's getting agree with me?
• 0:38
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: But I don't know who Jack is. But I don't
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: necessarily agree with that everything and anything at all. And
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: that's become a raging debate. Now, is that as the
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: program director of the First Thing Today program, that if
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: I choose to put somebody on that disagrees with me,
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: and this is I I know there are hosts. I
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: think Mark Levin does this, but I will listen to
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: your point, I'll disagree with it, and I get the
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: final say. And that's, you know, to a lot of people,
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: they don't like that. They don't like that I might
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: have the final say in some statement you make and
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: that I should allow, you know, or and or I
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: shouldn't allow dissenting opinion at all because it's my show
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: and it should be my opinions and my opinions only.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: And there are different philosophies about that. But I believe
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: if you disagree with my opinion on something and I
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: come back with a better debut, that's just how it's
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: supposed to work in this country, isn't it. I mean,
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: think about it a second. Isn't eighty percent of our
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: problem the fact that we seem to think that if
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: my cousin disagrees with me, I have to stop speaking
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: to them. Ever again, how many family members don't want
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: to talk to you because they know you wear a
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: red ball cap that says maga on it, or that
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: don't that you don't wear a red ball cap that
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: says maga on it? And how many family members look
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: at this kid? Apparently, according to the news coverage that
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: I've seen, that this kid that showed up at Marilango,
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: twenty one year old from North Carolina, the news coverage,
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: the best they can do right now is his whole
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: family quote unquote, according to family friends, who are generally
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: people who live down the street stereotypically, the guys, I
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: don't know he was always quiet kid, never thought he
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: was always so quiet, these family friends have told the
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Charlotte Observer and some of the Fox News affiliates in Charlotte,
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: that all his family are avid Trump supporters. But there's
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: nothing that says this kid is You know, if there
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: was a picture of this kid at some Trump rally
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: in Charlotte, that it would already be front page news.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: But that doesn't change the fact that the rhetoric that
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: I agree with you and you have to either agree
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: with me or I'm disassociating myself from you is I
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: think how we wind up canceling people, and how we
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: wind up taking names off of elementary schools because somebody
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: didn't do enough, and that the witch hunt. You know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: if your name gets mentioned even third person in an
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: email from Jeffrey Epstein to John Podesta, you have to
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: lose your job, like the chef on Long Island. These folks,
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: you know, this witch hunt that Ron is almost McCarthy esque.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: And I know a lot of people like to use
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: McCarthy as an epithet in their news coverage. But I've
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: just watched this witch hunt for anyone who's even mentioned
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: tangentially in the Epstein files. Thank god Joe Thomas isn't
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: mentioned there. I was I was very nervous that he
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: was a fan of the old Cleveland Browns football player,
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: or that the old Cleveland Browns football player had gone
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: there and all of a sudden, they'd be people would
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: be going after my sponsors, saying, did you say, Joe
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: Thomas is all over the Epstein Files, Lose my job,
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: lose my house, lose my family, you know, and it
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: wouldn't even be me. So the news the first things

• 13:14
  Speaker 2: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Joe Thomas, it's not.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and we do cut a different path. I will
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: agree that it's probably difficult to listen in a world
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: of cookie cutter talking point shows, whether they be you know,
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: Tom Hartman or you know, I don't know who's the
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: avatar for the Sean Hannity. I guess you know, from
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: from the left or the right. And I say that
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: to our friends in Youngstown, who I know that Ms.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: Miller and Hartman will be following me in the lineup there.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: It's it's it's the ability to say yes, is Ukraine
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: a corrupt pile of manure in many ways? Yes? Does
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: that mean they get to be invaded by somebody else? No?
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: And and that's the difference is is I can't you
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: know people? Which side are you on? You can't be
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: on both sides. I'm on the side of Ukrainian farmers
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: who are fight facing a tank running down on them
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: and they're using some unspoken version of the Second Amendment
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: to shoot at tanks and Russian soldiers marching down their farm.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: Because I believe, you know, at the core of the
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: Ukraine thing, since you all brought it up, that that,
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: you know, the Ukrainian farmers and their guns are a
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: reminder of why we have the Second Amendment. And there's
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: so many hand ringing, squishy law and order Republicans to
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: go along with the Fabian Democrats that don't believe Americans
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: should have shotguns and rifles. And we're going to get
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: more of that after this kid showed up at Marri
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: a Lago with one that that don't believe in our
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: Second Amendment. Don't really believe in our Second Amendment. But
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: that's the first point on Ukraine. Second point is yeah, Ukraine,
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: faster than you can say, Bearizmo Holdings is a corrupt mess.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: Hunter Biden made a fortune off of the corruption and
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: the manipulation of our American government out of Kiev and
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: out of the out of the the the what's the
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: oil rich Bearisma's guard is? What are the the Asoff Battalion?
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: Are they fascist Nazis? Yet? Well, all the Nazis who
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: came to Charlottesville wound up on the Black Sea hanging
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: out with the Asoff Battalion, So I don't know. It
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: quacks like a dunk and it walks like a duck.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: Still doesn't mean Russia gets to invade them anymore than
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: it means we get to invade Iran. If we want
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: to support the freedom movement, if it's really a freedom movement, yeah,
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: I'm all for people wanting to be free. So, like
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: I said, it's about what the motive is. Bob in Virginia,
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: who I know, knows a thing or two about the law.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: Motive is right, What is the motive of a march?
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: What does the hands off, our handouts, march want what
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: is their motive? What is their goal? That's what we
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: look at here. And yeah, maybe we do sound different
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: than a lot of other places, because I can accept
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: I can see both sides. I can actually see Russia's
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: argument that they've yelts and screwed up and signing off
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: on Ukrainian sovereignty and they're trying to get it back. Okay,
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: you know, grow a set and it actually announced that
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: to the world. Don't say we don't recognize their borders
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: for some amorphous reason. Anyway, plenty of other stuff going
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: on today, Lake and Riley Day and all of that
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: to discuss with you. Good morning, you're on the air
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: with Joe. Who's this.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: A supporting cast member?
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Yeh was Mike. And of these folks, you know, are
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: these folks characters or not? They're regular people. They're all
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: just like you. This is a text message on that subject,
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Mike from Maureen, who said, I don't call, but I
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: appreciate how you talk to all of your callers, even
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: if they're the same every day, because someday I might
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: just call you and I want to be treated the
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: same way. I mean, that's just the way I was.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: I was raised that way. I'm not going to be
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: an ass to somebody who calls in you just because
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: we don't agree on something. Mike.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Anyway, I heard a story from a guy that was
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: attending college back in the thirties or maybe early parties
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: where you had Glynn Miller big fans playing you go
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: to a dinner in a dance. Well, he said when
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: he was in colleague in, his roommates would flip a
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: coin on a Friday night. If it landed heads, they'd
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: take their dates to a dinner, a dance. If it
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: landed tells, they go to a movie with their dates,
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: and if it landed on the edge, they'd stay home
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: and study. I don't recall it up for landing on
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: the edge, but it was a third op.
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So when you say two sides of a coin,
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: it's kind of like a it's kind of like a
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: scrolls coops as nutty as it eat.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: So I get I get it. As a math major. Yes,
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: you're right, Yes, there is technically a third side to
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: a coin. You're right, you're very well pointed out.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Uh second, you after your little intro to this segment,
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure you're going like this, not one, but
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: why don't we purchase or Anne's Greenland so we can
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: be more competitive with Norway in the Winter Olympics and
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: its time.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: That's a good reason for it is as half the
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Northeast region. And if you watch national news, it's all
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: about snow apocalypse again, you'd think that we have already
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: annexed Greenland and moved it into the New York metropolitan area.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Uh yeah, But the one thing I really wanted to
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: head on was just well, as mentioned last week, wards
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: or the lack of wards or the choice of wards matter. Yeah,
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: but also the basis of the person like me, I'm conservative,
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: maybe independent. I leave myself open to a choice or debate.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: But if you've got a far laughter a far right person,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: what is that influencing how speak and communicate and what
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: information they share? If nine ow ten people believe this,
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: what does the tenth person believe? For it's like nine
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: now ten people who die do not breathe anymore. The
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: tenth person is from rom Co and gets up and
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: goes on to the next tvad series or the next
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: movie to die again.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: Well, in AI, you don't need that. But to your
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: point and also because we were coming up on the news here.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: But to your point on that, you know, it's I
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: was asked this about a prosecutor. A prosecutor texted me
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: and said, what is the motive of a caller? And
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: frequency the caller is either triggered by something I said
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: because they agree with it, triggered by something I said
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: because they don't think I went far enough with it,
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: triggered by what I said because they disagree with me.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: So you know, there's plenty of motive, but it's usually
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: in some way, shape or form because either I haven't
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: said enough, I missed something, or I or they disagree
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: with me. Uh.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: And it's no fun yelling at my computer. If I
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: listen to a podcast, the computer is not going to
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: respond form shut off.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: But exactly well said Mike. Well said later, all right,

• 28:16
  Speaker 5: There's time on this Monday morning open the lunch pail.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: I know it seems early unless you're listening on the
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: West Coast, and then uh, it might be just about
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: time to open your lunch pail and find mac McDonald there.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: He's like the he's like that toy that came in
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: the lunch box and the happy meal. Uh it's a
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: mac McDonald bobblehead, of which I know there are some
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: out there.
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: So others not h Yeah, I never had bobblehead night.
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: You know that bald head needs more doesn't mean any
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: more attention at all. Remember the Remember the peanut butter
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: stale smell that your lunchbox used to have. You know,
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: mom never washed it or whatever it had that sandwich
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: peanut buttered. Oh god, I remember that's wrong.
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: Now mine was liver worst. That was what stays. I
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: loved liver worst, but man, it would leave a linger.
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: Then, well before I before I take you in the
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: Jack take you inside the Jack Hughes press conference, which
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: was really good. Just honor Connor Hellbuck today. In fact,
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: I may go online and order Odessa Texas and Jacoalope's
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: gear because that's where Connor Helbuck, who got his start
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: for the Winnipeg Jets.
• 29:30
  Speaker 25: He was.
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: He was drafted one hundred and thirtieth overall and only
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: had forty one saves out of forty two shots yesterday,
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: including a performance for the agents. So while everybody's talking
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: about Jack Hughes, who, by the way, whose father was
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: an assistant coach with the Orlando Solar Bears.
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: For a while, that's a real team I love.
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: Yes, yes they are, and Jack Hughes, of course, became
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: the toothless hero. He took a stick to the face
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: in the thirty. He actually saw his teeth on the ice.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: Oh and it was a four minute double minor for
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: Sam Bennett. So the explanation and what really happened.
• 30:07
  Speaker 27: My first thought was I draw the penalty. Actually my
• 30:10
  Speaker 27: first thought was I looked down the ice and saw
• 30:12
  Speaker 27: my teeth. I was like, like, here we go again.
• 30:15
  Speaker 27: I know the last time that happened, it wasn't very fun.
• 30:18
  Speaker 27: But yeah, like I just thought, you know, we got
• 30:21
  Speaker 27: an elite first power play four minutes. I thought they
• 30:24
  Speaker 27: were going on the ice and gonna score, and that
• 30:27
  Speaker 27: was gonna be the gold medal game.
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah. So it's a one to one time, we're in
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: the third, and now all of a sudden, it's a
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: four minute double minor. So Hughes goes back to the ice,
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: then was assessed a high sticking minor on bo Horror
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: vat with forty nine seconds to go in a four
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: minute US power play in the third, and so that
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: really negated the image.
• 30:47
  Speaker 27: Obviously, I come on the ice and I take a penalty.
• 30:50
  Speaker 27: I think we had two good looks too. I think
• 30:52
  Speaker 27: Jake Anseil had a good look in the slot, and
• 30:54
  Speaker 27: I think even my shot from the point was a
• 30:57
  Speaker 27: good look. It was like a he couldn't really see
• 30:59
  Speaker 27: it there so much traffic in front of the net.
• 31:01
  Speaker 27: So like I thought, those are two pretty good looks,
• 31:04
  Speaker 27: and obviously I take the penalty, and I just like
• 31:07
  Speaker 27: I pictured myself on barstool being like the thing that
• 31:10
  Speaker 27: the guy that America hates because Canada scores in the
• 31:13
  Speaker 27: power play.
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: He just knew, you.
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: Know, I'm that bad way to get the promo in
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: there for weird cans at the TV. Well, of course,
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: then there was the play three on three the OT
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: and a grudge match called by Hughes Connor Helbuck forty
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: one saves and he gets an assist on the golden goal.
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: Not to mention the stick save, but boy was it?
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: How good was this?
• 31:36
  Speaker 27: Glad we we got out of that that pick I
• 31:38
  Speaker 27: put us in. And then obviously overtime anything can happen.
• 31:42
  Speaker 27: I mean they have very skilled players. We have various
• 31:45
  Speaker 27: skilled players. It's just up and down the rink, you know,
• 31:49
  Speaker 27: kind of like a little grudge match, like who's gonna
• 31:51
  Speaker 27: make the first mistake, who's going to give up the
• 31:53
  Speaker 27: first odd man rush and just a good play by
• 31:56
  Speaker 27: Larks and Z getting up the ice and then obviously
• 31:59
  Speaker 27: Z found me.
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: So anyway, I think the headline was forty six years
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: in the making for sure. And let me tell you
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: once again. You know the call and Kenny Albert, and
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: you know their coverage yesterday couldn't have been better. Just
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: one more time. If you haven't heard it, you're driving
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: a word on what happened yesterday.
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: Adams Warenski now Tacoos puts her around the park. The
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: United States with numbers Blackaclosset comes Jack.
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: Gooz Winchet the Golden Gold for the United.
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: States for the first time since the night Gen eighty
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: Barra Gole in United States.
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: Takes the goll Jack Goos, Ben and.
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: Jordan Penny Tenna.
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: Here you go twenty three seconds of joy. And by
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: the way, just another note which I've been telling the
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: University of Virginia for I don't know how many years.
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: Notice that the horn they use in the Olympics, and
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: how great a hockey horn sounds. We even get together
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: with this idiot group at the beach and play left
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: right center. I bring a hockey horn sound effect.
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: So if somebody.
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: Wins left right center and the you know, sixty dollars pot.
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: Since we play three chips for five bucks, I always
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: play the hockey horn. The hockey horn deserves to be
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: in almost every I mean an Aaron Judge home run,
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: can you. I mean, you know, they blow the whistle
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: at NAT's Park, right, They've got the the the navy
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: whistle from the shipyard or whatever.
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: It should be a local thing, but there needs to
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: be a celebratory thing. But the hockey horn, I mean,
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: that's the signal play stops the pucks in the net.
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: I feel for the understand, but for a college touchdown
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: needs the hockey horn, you know, it just it needs
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: to be there. It's just so it's so good. But
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: I had I had more fun, you know, I you know,
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: saw the women's final and got to see that on Friday,
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: and then of course the you know, the men's on Sunday. No,
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: it was a Thursday. Now, the women's final was Thursday.
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: I was dry and home, uh, and so it was
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: just it was a terrific weekend. You know, I haven't
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: even looked at the total medal count this morning.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: I've been three. Norway had forty one, We had thirty three.
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: We had that. Okay, thank you for the bailout, because
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: I've been looking up you know, the Odessa Jackalopes and uh,
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: you know, just because of what happened.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: And but actually a caller, a caller in the last
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: segment suggested that this is more reason we should annex
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: Greenland because some of the you know, and I don't
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: know how many people who live in Greenland won medals
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: for Norway. But anyway, of.
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: Course, yeah, of course it's uh, it's political. But you'll
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: in the next few days and see, Unfortunately, those guys
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: you know, can't go on a week week vendor. They
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: can't go to the golf course and drink. It's not
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: like the end of the year because they they're back
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: to hockey Tuesday Wednesday, you.
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: Know, they're all star break.
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and so they've got to they gotta get busy.
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: But man, oh man, how it was just special. It
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: was It was certainly a lot of fun. And if
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: that wasn't enough, And I'll get into more of this tomorrow,
• 35:08

  Speaker 7: played under him in the signature that's.

  Speaker 7: Tony Bennett signature on the floor for Tony Bennett Court
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: is is uh, you know, in blue broad blue. But

• 35:41
  Speaker 7: small type the names of every player that played under
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: coach Bennett, and of course a lot of them were
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: there on Saturday, and it was another dramatic win for

• 35:58
  Speaker 7: by but Tony Speed. I'm gonna I'll get into more
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: of that tomorrow. But Tony Bennett's seech couldn't have been
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: he could it could have been better, you know. It's
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: just Tony Bennett is so endearing and so I'm gonna
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: I gotta find out how to contact him, which I will.
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna I'm gonna reach out and make some calls

  Speaker 7: today to find out.
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: I got to it was a yeah, a local bagel
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: shop during the during the period in between the start
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: of this show and the end of my nearly twenty
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: year relationship with my previous employer that shall not be
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: named because I don't need any more FedEx letters being
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: delivered from any law firms. But there was a there
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: was a two or three month period of you know,
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: not being on the air, and my wife and I
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: walked into a local Charlottesville bagel place of repute and
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: and they're sitting, you know, about three tables away was
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: Tony Bennett and his wife and he had just started
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: his his non coaching period as well. And everyone in
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: the place was like looking most a Tony and not
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: really at me, but it was it was not many
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: people know this, but I'm a very famous kind of moment.
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think you, I think you owe
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: the share of that, because that's to be fair. It
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: was a little relief there.
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: Somebody came up and said hi to me. Nobody came
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: up and said Hi to Tony, probably because they're intimidated.
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: You know, if you win an NCAA championship, you.

• 38:05
  Speaker 16: percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
• 38:08
  Speaker 16: and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
• 38:11

• 38:26
  Speaker 16: forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
• 38:29
  Speaker 16: principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
• 38:33
  Speaker 16: the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 16: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  Speaker 16: while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
• 38:45
  Speaker 16: assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
• 38:49
  Speaker 16: students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,

  Speaker 17: need to know the first thing today.
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: So a couple of quick things and again warning. As
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: much fun as people have. I love the smell of
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: face pome in the morning. When I do math on
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: the air usually leads to hysteria because I'll miss something
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: because I'm talking and trying to do math at the
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: same time. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: Has nothing to do with my graduation from the New
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: York City Public school system. No, please, please, don't infer
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: that at all. But the one real ignominity of my
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: New York City Public school career was the fact that
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: saved the fact that I had passed the state mandated
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: exam at the end of my senior year, therefore requiring
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: that i'd be given a diploma endorsed by the what
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: was it regents? I guess the Board of regents in
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: New York. This is like the highest, the highest high
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: school diploma just a regular student could get. Aside from
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: cumlaud A or real loud a or whatever. Was the
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: fact that for six years I took Spanish each year
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: trying to come up with a way to pass so
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: I would get credit for all the other years that
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: I didn't pass, and the grades up getting lower and
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: lower and lower. I think I was averaging a fifty
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: five in my senior year and the and I was
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: in a class with the head of the department, and
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: he just I was useless. I was a mess. And
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: then when I received a seventy five on the state
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: test and he had to pass me, he took an
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: entire day's lesson to complain about the state bureaucracy. I
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: appreciated it, because even even back then, in the early eighties,
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: I didn't necessarily like the state bureaucracy, and I was
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: going to use it. I wasn't going to deny the grade.
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: I wasn't going to hand in my diploma and say no, no, no,
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: no no. The bureaucracy is the reason I'm receiving this.
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: But I'm going to translate some Mexican and thanks to
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: our friends at Alphabet and I guess they're anthropic. AI.
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: It's easier to come up with things. And it's driven
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: mostly by this text message from Danny, who writes in
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: mensh when you talk about Claudia Shinbaum and the mensch,
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: what's going on in Mexico, I had to laugh. They're
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: the idea that a big drug lord's nickname was the
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: mensch just is going to stick with me all day.
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Joe. Well, it doesn't mean that, but you
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: know that's that's what most people in Spanglish would say. Well,
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: El menscho must mean he's the mensch. I mean, oh,
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: he's a mensch. It actually derives from the word nemesio,
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: and then you go and you translate nemessio. It comes
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: from the Greek nemesis sol el tucco or whatever his
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: nickname was. El mencho is meaning he's the little He's
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: the little Nemesis is basically what his nickname means if
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: you were to take it into English, the little Nemesis.
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: But it's fun to think of him being this guy
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: at a deli saying I'm looking for the locks, you know,
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: like a George Costanzo almost. But the chaos that has
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: been erupted in Mexico when he was blown up by
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: from what I understand, drone strikes from the Mexican military
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: is concerning because it shows you, first and foremost how
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: much control this stuff has, these these groups have over
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: places like Mexico, and that you can't you know, if
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: your president Shinbaum taking on people like the Little Nemesis
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: is perilous. And now the press is all saying she's
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: just doing it because Trump's making her do it, and
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: that he wants to this would stick to math and
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: forget the language class. Please, Well, I believe it or not,
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: that's actually you know, Google AI or whatever anthropic, anthropomorphic,
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: whatever their AI company is is. That's what I looked
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: up nemesio, and it's telling me that it is Nemesis.
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: So eld Mensho is little Little Nemesis, if you'll the
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: fact that it's supposed to be the dominion diminutive of it.
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: But the point here is the chaos that has come
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: from his demise, and that now there's chaos amongst rival
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: little factions within his group that he was keeping order
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: with by being a thug, because now he's gone and
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: people who live in this area of Mexico that he
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: was running are all trying to get theirs and every little,
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: many many, many want their turn and want to be
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: the boss of bosses. And the US Embassy has said
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: shelter in place, has suggested that Americans visiting Mexico right
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: now might want to come home. And the question is, so,
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: if Donald Trump has an encourage Claudia Shinbaum to do this,
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: what guarantees are we giving her? Because I've watched floaters
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: here in Central Virginia who have run a foul of
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: various Mexican drug cartels. So I don't think Claudia Shinbaum
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: coming to the United States makes her any more or
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: less safe than if she was to stay in Mexico.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: Maybe a little bit, because El Mencho probably has friends
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: in the government. But this has to happen because these
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: drug cartels are running these areas. They're dictatorial, but it
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: doesn't mean they're going to stop. And this is the
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: thing that Americans have to understand is the drugs that
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: El Mencho was sending to the United States are still flowing.
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: I mean, there may be a bump in the road,
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: you might have to pay some more for your crack.
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I mean, your neighbor is gonna have to
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: pay someone because certainly in Dale, but they will keep
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: making it as long as we keep buying it. And
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: as much as this has become a kinetic war on drugs,
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: with more boats being interceded over the weekend and el
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: Mencho getting blown up, we're still buying this stuff. And
• 52:44
  Speaker 5: that's the part of this war on drugs that we've
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: got to get back to. And even Trump said that
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: in today's troubled world, are USA Armed forces stand ready
• 52:55
