• 0:04
  Speaker 1: First Thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Johonas first I think you really don't like.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Him with the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte Smith.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: That is absolutely true, Jewort said, steal me step.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: You have a day at least for work when my
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: son comes up, drops a kid to school. Joe has
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: everything a dream do all the Jreasure sudden needs no.
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: One that Joe's as smile.
• 0:33
  Speaker 6: He only is creag.
• 0:38
  Speaker 7: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to you.
• 0:41
  Speaker 7: You really do like me not like Hillary?
• 0:43
  Speaker 8: Right, Not only do I not like him, I don't
• 0:46
  Speaker 8: like him because of what he's doing to the United States.
• 0:49
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, if there has to be somebody who
• 0:51
  Speaker 7: doesn't like me.
• 0:53
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 0:53
  Speaker 7: And it has nothing to do with the fact that
• 0:55
  Speaker 7: I did an impression of her husband on the radio
• 0:58
  Speaker 7: with her on the phone with me. The god is
• 1:02
  Speaker 7: that it was in her senate run. So when she
• 1:06
  Speaker 7: was first running for the Senate, she came on our
• 1:09
  Speaker 7: show and at the end of it, you know, you
• 1:11
  Speaker 7: famed it. It's really my only impression and I've done
• 1:16
  Speaker 7: it with a friend Travelina, and I did a great bit.
• 1:19
  Speaker 7: Once I did this voice. He did his russel in
• 1:21
  Speaker 7: Ball voice in the interview that would never happen. Uh,
• 1:24
  Speaker 7: and and so we dropped into that. I forget the premise.
• 1:29
  Speaker 7: It was like we were doing Shakespeare.
• 1:31
  Speaker 9: What is this?
• 1:32
  Speaker 7: I see before me the handle towards my heart and
• 1:36
  Speaker 7: she snorked. And I think ever since then, I've been
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: worried about the I R S. Shoe falling on my head.
• 1:44
  Speaker 7: But she snorked right in the middle of it. Somewhere
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: I have audio of Hillary Clinton going laughing so hard
• 1:52
  Speaker 7: at the idea of her and Bill as the subjects
• 1:57
  Speaker 7: of the Scottish play. But that being said, inwards and
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: upwards so many folks. And it's not just Virginia, its
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: Florida's redistricting. It's this idea. And we talked about the
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: racist bias to it, and I want to explore this
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: some more because there's a real racism that's underpinning all
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: of this. Because once they passed the Permanent Reapportionment Act
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: of nineteen twenty nine, it created a way to divide
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: communities all and we're seeing it now in this whole
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: plan of Virginia's redistricting. They're cutting urban areas black communities
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: up so that they can spread their votes around. They've
• 2:49
  Speaker 7: come to count on them being reliably blue votes. So
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: they're cutting up black communities to take away their representation,
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: and there is a peril to it. Because I'm on
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: a about it, and because I did the arithmetic. If
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: you base the outcomes of the redistricting on different elections,
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: you get different results because in Virginia you don't register
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: by political parties, so you don't really know, you're just guessing.
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: The guestimate is based on an election result, and our
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: friends in the Democratic Party have chosen twenty twenty five's
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: election to be that which they want to point to.
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: It is Republicans were dispirited. There was very low Republican turnout,
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: so of course it looks like all these districts are
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: Democrat majorities. But if you go back to twenty twenty
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: one these when there was an enthusiastic Republican turnout, they
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: lose a bunch of these districts because they've stretched them
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: out so far so as to you know, get their
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: gerrymander on and to be able to say to Eric Holder,
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: look at what we've done for you, sir, like they're
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: a dobby the house elf. That's for the Harry Potter
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: heads out there are first things. This morning, Tom Holman
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: says there are just a small security force ready to
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: stay in Minnesota, Saint Paul and Minneapolis as thousands of
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: immigration agents have already left, with hundreds more to go
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: in the beginning of this week, and just a small
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: security force staying for a short period of time to
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: protect remaining immigration agents. Homan said, this unface the nation.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: Marco Rubio is getting lauded for and you know, an
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: outstanding eighteen minute speech at the Munich Security Conference in which,
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: in just a short eighteen minute address quelled a lot
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: of people's nerves about the US involvement in NATO and
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: remind them that it's a common civilization that could be
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: wiped out if they weren't careful and worked together. Speaking
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: of working together, US Senator Mike Lee of Utah has
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: rallied a coalition of fifty other US Senators to support
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: the Save America Act. It's the election integrity bill that
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: would mandate proof of citizenship to get on voter rolls.
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: The bill passed the House on a party line vote,
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: but Mike Lee is leading a push to get rid
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: of quote the zombie filibuster and he said he'll bring
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: that to the floor first thing this week. Controversy in
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: the Olympics involving curling, many of you said, controversy and curling,
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: Oh yes, hot temperate as Oscar Erickson of Sweden accused
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: Canada's Mark Kennedy of cheating by touching his stone twice. Well,
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: apparently that's the thing. You slide down the ice, they
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: call it the stone, and once you let it go,
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: you're supposed to let it go. But he let it
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: go and then grab the handle again, which is a
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: no no according to Olympic rules. There have been no
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: rulings yet on it. Ukrainians say that some drones fell
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: from the sky after they were shot down and damaged
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: some infrastructure near the Odessa region, knocking out power and
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: water supply after the drones were shot down. Meanwhile, their
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: own drones struck one of the Black Sea ports controlled
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: by Russia. As the anniversary of the nearly four year
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: old war, approaches and talks ushered in by the United
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: States were supposed to get started very soon, and a
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: glove containing DNA found two miles from Uguthrie's mother's homes
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: seems to be connected to the person that's seen on
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: the doorbell camera as the FBI continues their search. And
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: those are our first things this morning.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: You know, a lot of times you have to choose
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: between something high quality or something that saves you money.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: But what if you could get both? Why not, especially
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: when it comes to healthcare, and that is meta share.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: You get both. Many families save five hundred bucks a
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: month with meta share and that's huge. But it's also
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: true that people wind up way more satisfied too, and
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: we know this from research of members. There's a lot
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: they like about medshare, but especially they love being part
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: of something they believe in, and Metashare works too. It
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: has for more than thirty years. There are hundreds of
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: thousands of members who love having telehealth if they need it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: They love the huge Ppo network. You can save a
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: ton and like it better. Imagine being happy with how
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: you're taking care of your health care. So if you're
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: self employed, or you're part of the gig economy, or
• 7:48

• 7:50

  Speaker 10: Five five share.

  Speaker 7: Oversight Committee Congressman John McGuire just announced that amongst it all,
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: as if, as if the craziness involving uh, just that
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: one committee he serves on isn't enough to make him
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: run for the hills. He's running for re election to
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: the US House of Representatives. Good morning, John, how are
• 13:54

• 14:03
  Speaker 22: in Richmond. You remember what did the Spamburg and the
• 14:06
  Speaker 22: ticket run on affordability? All on the order and within
• 14:10
  Speaker 22: a week over fifty new proposed taxes going after your
• 14:14
  Speaker 22: second amendment, your first amendment, and reducing mandatory minimums for
• 14:20
  Speaker 22: dangerous criminals because they believe criminals are good and police
• 14:24
  Speaker 22: are bad and they don't care about victims.
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: Well, a dear friend of mine who's an angler, said
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: that you can catch a particular breed of catfish in
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: the James River called the blue catfish. And I said, boy,
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: that's appropriate, isn't it, because we have a lot of
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: blue catfish, and not just Spamburger, but all her supporting
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: members of the Virginia General Assembly all said, oh no,
• 14:47

• 14:53
  Speaker 7: lying because their lips are moving.

• 15:08
  Speaker 22: prayers and everything like that. It sounds like he's not
• 15:11
  Speaker 22: out of the woods, but he's doing better. So that's
• 15:13
  Speaker 22: good news from Matt Hall.
• 15:15
  Speaker 9: That would be much appreciated.
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: It's absolutely And if you follow John online you've seen
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: uh these posts and his social media as though. Yeah,
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: so last week, you know, you're you're just your one committee,
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: the House Oversight Committee was you know the BONDI you know,
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: and yeah, man, she threw some incendiary devices back at
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: the Democrats on the committee. But now this week you're
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: supposed to have Glaine Maxwell and the Clinton's coming and
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: it's all about Epstein. It's all don't you don't you
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: get frustrated that you know, maybe we could you know,
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: get onto you know, I don't know Congress people making
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: hundreds of millions of dollars. I just saw a thing
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: that said Hakeem Jefferies was broke forty thousand dollars in
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: debt when he went to the house, and now he's
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: got a portfolio worth thirty six million dollars. You know,
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: I do care about you know, guys being pedophiles, and
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: I do want to know what Jeffrey Epstein was doing
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: and what decisions he was influencing with his uh with
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: his corruptions. But there's other stuff down there too, don't
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: you You know, how do you feel about what went
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: on last week and is still coming this week?
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: There's a whole lot.
• 16:26
  Speaker 22: You know, I really wish they would have released everything
• 16:30
  Speaker 22: last year January.
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: Just get it out there. Move on.
• 16:34
  Speaker 22: We need to focus on kitchen table things, you know, affordability,
• 16:38
  Speaker 22: housing shortages, costs. You know, we got to focus on
• 16:42
  Speaker 22: reducing the debt, and you know when in the midterms,
• 16:46
  Speaker 22: that's what we should be focused on.
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: That's what I'm focused on. That's why people say, what
• 16:49
  Speaker 9: are you running for?
• 16:50
  Speaker 22: I'm running for the reelection in the current fifth for
• 16:53
  Speaker 22: the amazing people that I've represented for the last year.
• 16:56
  Speaker 9: Well, you talk about on mission.
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: Talk about you're housing affordability, you know, the American Dream Act. Yeah,
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: how is that moving forward to you know, catch us
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: up on that, because I think that compelled a lot
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: of people the idea of uh suspending capital gains on
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: property sales to help encourage people to you know, make
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: you know, buying that first home a little bit more
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: affordable for people.
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: Well, yeah, it's great.
• 17:25
  Speaker 22: You know President Trump, I talked with him about it
• 17:27
  Speaker 22: as we were drafting it, and he's actually spoken about
• 17:30
  Speaker 22: it on national TV at least twice that I know of,
• 17:32
  Speaker 22: which is pretty exciting. We have Democrat and Republican support.
• 17:36
  Speaker 22: It's called the American Dream Act. What I did all
• 17:39
  Speaker 22: over the district. I spent three months. Anytime I saw
• 17:42
  Speaker 22: someone you know, twenty years old to thirty two years old,
• 17:45
  Speaker 22: then you know, the next generation.
• 17:47
  Speaker 9: I would ask them two questions. I would say, do
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: you own a home? Almost all of them said no.
• 17:53
  Speaker 22: And then the second question was does anyone you've graduated
• 17:56
  Speaker 22: you know, college or technical school with do they own
• 18:00
  Speaker 22: a home?
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: And the nationals almost always no.
• 18:02
  Speaker 22: And so I basically, you know, told the President, I said, look,
• 18:05
  Speaker 22: it's hard to be a socialist if you own property,
• 18:07
  Speaker 22: because you know, socialism and communism take your property. And
• 18:10
  Speaker 22: then I met a twenty four year old whose parents,
• 18:13
  Speaker 22: you know, literly twisted arm and said you need you
• 18:15
  Speaker 22: just graduated college, you need to buy a house. And
• 18:18
  Speaker 22: she said, that's my travel money. But she did it,
• 18:21
  Speaker 22: and it made hers get budget tight. But now she's
• 18:24
  Speaker 22: thirty years old and she is financially ahead of anyone
• 18:27
  Speaker 22: she graduated with.
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: This next the next.
• 18:30
  Speaker 22: Generation is becoming lifelong renters. And so then I ran
• 18:35
  Speaker 22: into a seventy two year old in the district. He
• 18:37
  Speaker 22: owns fifty five rental properties that value between two hundred
• 18:41
  Speaker 22: and fifty five hundred thousand dollars. And you know, when
• 18:43
  Speaker 22: you graduate uba or a trade school, you can't afford
• 18:47
  Speaker 22: a million dollar house, but you might be able to
• 18:49
  Speaker 22: afford a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, fix the
• 18:52
  Speaker 22: upper and start a family and start to build institutional wealth.
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: So here's the bill. He says, if your age sixty five.
• 19:01
  Speaker 22: And you sell your property to a first time buyer,
• 19:05
  Speaker 22: which is ninety eight percent of the time, somebody under
• 19:07
  Speaker 22: age thirty two.
• 19:08
  Speaker 9: You have a five year more touring on capital gains.
• 19:11
  Speaker 22: Now that's not for black Rock, that's not for China,
• 19:14
  Speaker 22: some other countries.
• 19:15
  Speaker 9: For an American citizen.
• 19:16
  Speaker 22: And I've had Democrat Republican staffers come up to me
• 19:19
  Speaker 22: in the hallway and say thank you for thinking about us.
• 19:23
  Speaker 22: That's our favorite bill. And one young girl said, you
• 19:26
  Speaker 22: know what you're doing. You're giving us a future. Now
• 19:29
  Speaker 22: we haven't passed it yet. You know, it's very partisan
• 19:31
  Speaker 22: up there, but I'm building bridges and trying to be
• 19:34
  Speaker 22: respectful and do what's best for our country.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: Well, and John McGuire is on with us. It's McGuire
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: dot house dot gov is his website. There. Last question,
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: you know all your compatriots are a big number of
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: your compatriots flew off to Munich over the weekend, not
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: like there was a deadline at midnight Friday for the
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: DHS shutdown. What is the latest on getting the Department
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: of Homeland Security at least extend it so there's more
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: time to debate? You know what ridiculous changes a keem
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: Jeffries ones. I don't even know if it's debatable, but
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: what's the latest on the shutdown?
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: Well, there's just so much hypocrisy in Washington.
• 20:17
  Speaker 22: You know, these guys have voted for this over, you know,
• 20:19
  Speaker 22: several times, and the biggest people affected is TSA, FEMA,
• 20:24
  Speaker 22: and the Coast Guard. And so they need to stop
• 20:26
  Speaker 22: playing politics, you know, political partments and games and focus
• 20:30
  Speaker 22: on taking care of the people that serve our country.
• 20:34
  Speaker 22: But we'll have to wait and see. You know you
• 20:36
  Speaker 22: I heard you talking earlier about the Save America Act. Yeah,
• 20:39
  Speaker 22: I mean everyone has to use an ID to do
• 20:41
  Speaker 22: everything they forced us to have. Now, I didn't get
• 20:44
  Speaker 22: the COVID shot, and I didn't never had a vaccine card,
• 20:47
  Speaker 22: but they forced everybody to show ID and everything to
• 20:49
  Speaker 22: get a shot or to get a card, or to
• 20:52
  Speaker 22: get an airplane or get your medicine. And they're trying
• 20:55
  Speaker 22: to say it's racist and people can't get a photo ID.
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: I mean, it's just crazy.
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: Meanwhile, what is race? Is this redistricting they're trying to
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: do in Virginia. Now, someone asked me about your district
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: announce you're running for reelection. But in Virginia, as I
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: read the law, you can still run for the fifth
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: district even if you know you're not technically a resident
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: of it. The congressional districts are just driven by being
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: a state citizen. But man, these ads, I don't know
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: if you got hit as hard as I did. Over
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: the weekend. These really misrepresentative ads that the Virginia Democrats
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: are running ran all through the Olympic Games. Have people
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: thinking that conservatives are trying to get the redistricting bill
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: passed because they've picked cute names that sound just like
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: conservative groups. They do all these things. So what your
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: thought on how these people are kind of again you
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: talk about bait and switch, This whole bait and switch
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: going on with this redistricting vote on April twenty first,
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: I guess gonna happen.

• 28:44
  Speaker 28: deep breakfast and twenty three to eat that number.
• 28:47
  Speaker 10: I'm sure you took. You know, that's just the way

  Speaker 28: Moments came into five hundred finish and Tyler Renick escaped
• 29:18
  Speaker 28: the lake collision, made a driver's.
• 29:19
  Speaker 10: Move that would have made any superstar proud.
• 29:22
  Speaker 28: And I love listening to the guys who I followed
• 29:27
  Speaker 28: the dayton coverage a lot this weekend, just because you know, pregame.
• 29:31
  Speaker 28: I watched a lot of the pregame pre race stuff yesterday.
• 29:34
  Speaker 28: But anyway, the finish shit couldn't have been much better.
• 29:37
  Speaker 10: On the bottom is Tyler Reddick.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: They come up single files Aine Smith's gonna have one
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: shot at Chase Elliott, NASCAR champion, most popular driver, trying
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: for the win, and Reddick to the top side.
• 29:50
  Speaker 10: He's got help Riley Herps, his teammate. Reddick drives to the.
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: Bottom alongside Elliott in the wall goes Herps and Tyler
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: Reddick comes to the line, a shower of sparks behind him.
• 30:02
  Speaker 10: Unbelievable. Yeah, great, great analysis. Unbelievable, Not unbelievable, it happened.
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: Uh you know, we big record Daytona. How unbelieved.
• 30:12
  Speaker 10: How rarely he does that.
• 30:13
  Speaker 28: Happen, Right, That's that's coverage, that's how that's how you
• 30:17
  Speaker 28: do it. And we were, you know, watching it yesterday
• 30:20
  Speaker 28: with a lot of people, uh Downtown Sports Bar and
• 30:22
  Speaker 28: Bubba Wallace. Uh, you know, I thought was gonna win
• 30:25
  Speaker 28: it and then he you know, when he when he
• 30:28
  Speaker 28: uh he won stage two.
• 30:29
  Speaker 10: He led more laps than any other driver Sunday.
• 30:31
  Speaker 28: He was part of a three white Toyota blockade at
• 30:34
  Speaker 28: the front of the pack for much of Stage three
• 30:37
  Speaker 28: and the field was trying to save fuel, you know,
• 30:40
  Speaker 28: anticipation in that final pit stop, and but after the
• 30:43
  Speaker 28: final round of green flag pit stops and a late
• 30:45
  Speaker 28: race caution, Wallace was just on the edge of the
• 30:48
  Speaker 28: frame during the white flag lap. And then after William
• 30:52
  Speaker 28: Byron went down into the apron, it came back up
• 30:54
  Speaker 28: on the track in front of him. He faded to
• 30:55
  Speaker 28: the back half and ended up ten. So that's the
• 30:57
  Speaker 28: way it finished.
• 30:59
  Speaker 10: Another Jordan's Tyler Reddick, his son.
• 31:01
  Speaker 28: You know, he and his wife last May two sons,
• 31:05
  Speaker 28: Bo and Rookie George Reddick.
• 31:08
  Speaker 10: Rookie.
• 31:09
  Speaker 28: You love having a name Rookie when you go to school,
• 31:11
  Speaker 28: Oh boy. Rookie George was born last May and the
• 31:14
  Speaker 28: family experienced a challenging twenty five because he had a
• 31:18
  Speaker 28: heart he had a tumor in his chest, oh gosh,
• 31:20
  Speaker 28: and there were a lot of health issues. But anyway,
• 31:22
  Speaker 28: for Tyler Redick, it snaps a thirty eight race losing streak,
• 31:25
  Speaker 28: and I hate when you say it's a losing streak
• 31:28
  Speaker 28: and racing, you know, but he hadn't won in thirty
• 31:32
  Speaker 28: eight races, so it turned out to be a lot
• 31:34
  Speaker 28: of fun. So there was a lot of stuff going on,
• 31:38
  Speaker 28: and of course pitchers, catchers and almost everybody else are
• 31:42
  Speaker 28: getting ready to report.
• 31:43
  Speaker 10: We'll have more on that tomorrow.
• 31:45
  Speaker 28: Bryce Harper not happy with management and Kansas State is
• 31:48
  Speaker 28: parting ways with coach Jerome Tang days after he criticized
• 31:52
  Speaker 28: his players following a blowout law saying, quote, they didn't
• 31:57
  Speaker 28: deserve to wear the uniform so apparent, and there's language
• 32:01
  Speaker 28: in his contract that addresses certain things that can can
• 32:05
  Speaker 28: potentially be an embarrassment. What for saying his players don't
• 32:09
  Speaker 28: deserve that because they're playing soft. Tang was in the
• 32:13
  Speaker 28: middle of his fourth season, one of the worst. The
• 32:16
  Speaker 28: Wildcats are ten and fifteen. They were last place in
• 32:18
  Speaker 28: the Big twelve, and they got blown out by Cincinnati
• 32:21
  Speaker 28: on Wednesday, ninety one sixty two. So Jerome Tang, this
• 32:25
  Speaker 28: is what he told the media.
• 32:26
  Speaker 29: This was embarrassing. These dudes do not deserve to wear
• 32:30
  Speaker 29: this uniform. There will be very few of them in
• 32:32
  Speaker 29: it next year. I'm embarrassed for the university. I'm embarrassed
• 32:36
  Speaker 29: for our fans, our students, section. It means something to
• 32:39
  Speaker 29: wear Case State uniform means something to put on this
• 32:42
  Speaker 29: purple everything this university is about and all that it's
• 32:45
  Speaker 29: been about.
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: Why I love this place.
• 32:46
  Speaker 18: Man like they they don't love this place, so they
• 32:49
  Speaker 18: don't deserve.
• 32:49
  Speaker 10: To be here. Hey, Case State, get a life.
• 32:52
  Speaker 28: Okay, you're gonna you're gonna fire a coach for that
• 32:57
  Speaker 28: because he doesn't feel what they have fired Tom.
• 32:59
  Speaker 10: Tom has been fire years ago. Yeah, Tom, that's that's wild.
• 33:05
  Speaker 28: You're gonna fire him for that because there's language in
• 33:07
  Speaker 28: the contract that says you if you bring embarrassment. You know,
• 33:12
  Speaker 28: he's been fired for cause the quote was from the ad.
• 33:16
  Speaker 28: Basically his comments about the student athletes, and the negative
• 33:19
  Speaker 28: reaction to those comments from a lot of sources nationally
• 33:21
  Speaker 28: and locally is where I thought we needed to make
• 33:24
  Speaker 28: a decision.
• 33:24
  Speaker 10: Well, I got an idea.
• 33:26
  Speaker 28: Why don't you make a decision to be above board
• 33:28
  Speaker 28: and say we support our head coach because our players
• 33:31
  Speaker 28: are not hustling our players are, you know, and you.
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: Can blow players we paid for. Well, you know, here's
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: here's the thing, and there's a little bit on this
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: this guy too. Any any contract that says you can
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: be fired if you bring embarrassment or disrepute to the
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: organization is problematic to me. Not because I would be
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: in favor of being bringing disrepute to somebody, but it's
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: such a uh what's the word I'm looking for all
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: of a sudden, speaking of disrepute, I only work with words.
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: It's it's, it's it's one of those ambiguities that's the world.
• 34:09
  Speaker 10: Yes, it's.
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: You can't put such an ambiguity in a contract and
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: sign it. I mean I wouldn't have signed that deal.
• 34:17
  Speaker 28: Look, getting caught whizzing on flowers outside the arena, that's embarrassment.
• 34:22
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 34:23
  Speaker 28: But but addressing to the media, he took two questions.
• 34:27
  Speaker 28: But addressing to the media and say, look, these guys
• 34:30
  Speaker 28: are they don't deserve the uniform right now. It's been
• 34:32
  Speaker 28: set a million times, a million coaches they've done this anyway,
• 34:37
  Speaker 28: I'm not gonna make you know.
• 34:38
  Speaker 10: Is this is this?
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: Is this the new era of name in the players
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: are running the assilums. Okay, you know, what do you.
• 34:47
  Speaker 10: On your side of the fence, Joe, what do they
• 34:49
  Speaker 10: call it? Snowflakes? I don't use that word very often,
• 34:53
  Speaker 10: But are you kids?
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 34:55
  Speaker 9: I mean it's just that's you know.
• 34:59
  Speaker 10: Just it blows me away.
• 35:01
  Speaker 28: But anyway, with the All Star Game last night, the
• 35:03
  Speaker 28: NBA All Star Game, it was actually kind of fun.
• 35:05
  Speaker 10: I like the format.
• 35:07
  Speaker 28: I like what they're doing. Old guys, young guys and Euros,
• 35:11
  Speaker 28: you know. And so the young guys ended up winning
• 35:13
  Speaker 28: last night. Anthony Edwards was MVP, and I just I like,
• 35:17
  Speaker 28: I just like the way the format goes. You know,
• 35:20
  Speaker 28: you're playing a twelve minute game and then you move on,
• 35:22
  Speaker 28: and then you move on, and so they're questioning the
• 35:26
  Speaker 28: format or whatever, but I actually think it's a pretty
• 35:28
  Speaker 28: good formult.
• 35:28
  Speaker 10: I think they should play street ball.
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: I think they should be Winter Winner.
• 35:31
  Speaker 10: Keeps side like the hockey guys.
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, play on a play on some tarbia
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: do something different. So you watch the same state NBA thing.
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: Go or if you want to use the arena, bring
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: in you can do it. You bring in all sorts
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: of stuff, bring in an asphalt half court, just like
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: these guys grew up playing on and you know, you know,
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: shirts versus skins or whatever you know with it, you know,
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: and do it.
• 35:58
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, go school, crank up the crank up the music.
• 36:02
  Speaker 10: Yeah what was the touring week you'll read about a
• 36:06
  Speaker 10: kid by the name of TJ. Finley.
• 36:09
  Speaker 28: Last month he left Georgia State and he entered the
• 36:11
  Speaker 28: transfer portal for the sixth time. What he's headed to
• 36:17
  Speaker 28: FCS Incarnate Word, his seventh program in seven years of
• 36:22
  Speaker 28: a career that began at LSU twenty.
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: I think he's going the wrong direction. I mean, if
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: you start at LSU and now you're at the FSU
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: Incarnate Word or what.
• 36:35
  Speaker 28: And they interviewed Finley about his seventh school in seven years.
• 36:39
  Speaker 10: He goes, it's been crazy, right.
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: Do you think it's just self inflicted?
• 36:44
  Speaker 10: I love that.
• 36:44
  Speaker 28: So a lot of social media comments about, hey, hey, TJ,
• 36:49
  Speaker 28: why not just get a job?
• 36:50
  Speaker 10: You know, as we try to clean up?
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: Can you imagine him becoming ahead? Can you imagine him
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: becoming a head basketball coach somewhere and then all of
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: a sudden being a you. These guys don't deserve to
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: wear the uniform, like do you remember your playing career?
• 37:06
  Speaker 9: Everywhere else?
• 37:07
  Speaker 10: So Finley said his quote was great.
• 37:09
  Speaker 28: He said, uh, it's draining new apartments, new houses, but
• 37:15
  Speaker 28: I've adapted the ability to.
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: Relocate crime a river. Oh my goodness.
• 37:20
  Speaker 9: I hope this love.
• 37:21
  Speaker 10: Meeting new people.
• 37:22
  Speaker 28: Well, if your career continue, you know, if he gets
• 37:26
  Speaker 28: in the G league, all the all the best to him.
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: You know, you know what.
• 37:31
  Speaker 10: Story for you. Yeah, the men's hockey team won again.
• 37:34
  Speaker 28: And uh and where's the curling holding?
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: What happened to the curling controversy?
• 37:39
  Speaker 20: Mac?
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: Where's the the profanity laced curling ranch?
• 37:44
  Speaker 10: Well, I'm not a real follower of curling, so that's
• 37:47
  Speaker 10: all right. I appreciate it.
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: It's like the one controversy in the Olympics and Mac,
• 37:51
  Speaker 7: of course, brought to you by the Lunch Pail Foundation,

  Speaker 17: According to a new report from Discovery Education, ninety two
• 38:04
  Speaker 17: percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
• 38:08
  Speaker 17: and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
• 38:11
  Speaker 17: critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
• 38:15
  Speaker 17: but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
• 38:19
  Speaker 17: student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
• 38:22
  Speaker 17: students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
• 38:26
  Speaker 17: forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
• 38:29
  Speaker 17: principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
• 38:33
  Speaker 17: the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 17: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  Speaker 17: while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
• 38:45
  Speaker 17: assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
• 38:49
  Speaker 17: students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
• 38:52
  Speaker 17: yet fewer than half of teachers report using AI themselves

  Speaker 1: on the Talk media Network Virginia.
• 44:25
  Speaker 31: Here, we believe in fairness, especially when it comes to
• 44:29
  Speaker 31: our elections. But right now, fair elections are under unprecedented dread.
• 44:34
  Speaker 8: Bresident Trump called on red states to redraw congressional maps
• 44:37
  Speaker 8: to give Republicans an advantage in next year's midterm election.
• 44:41
  Speaker 11: People think all of this is cheating.
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: By the way, both of those this is from the
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: commercial that Virginians were inundated with during the Olympic broadcast.
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: Neither of those voices are actually from any newscasts. They
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: are actors hired to sound like a netw work news
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: anchor and some commentator, but neither of them are attached
• 45:04
  Speaker 7: to real people because they're not. They're actors.
• 45:09
  Speaker 31: Trump and Maga Republicans are trying to rig the midterm
• 45:12
  Speaker 31: elections so they can lock in power. But we can
• 45:15
  Speaker 31: restore fairness with an amendment that gives Virginians the power
• 45:19
  Speaker 31: to level the playing field the best. And it's temporary,
• 45:22
  Speaker 31: reaffirming our commitment to bipartisan redistricting.
• 45:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, temporary. Nothing says commitment more than temporary, just until
• 45:30
  Speaker 7: we're done with Trump. John McGuire is a member of
• 45:33
  Speaker 7: the US House of Representatives. We were talking about the
• 45:35
  Speaker 7: Oversight Committee, but John, I want your view of this
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: mania to try to stretch Virginia's blue areas out so
• 45:44
  Speaker 7: far as to cover up all the red ones in
• 45:46
  Speaker 7: the states well as well.
• 45:47
  Speaker 22: Judge said they broke six laws, at least three statutory laws.
• 45:52
  Speaker 22: So how do you overcome breaking the laws. You have
• 45:55
  Speaker 22: to lie and deceive. If you remember, they had the
• 45:58
  Speaker 22: Affordable Care Act, but it raised your insurance premiums twenty
• 46:03
  Speaker 22: six percent every year, and it gave insurance companies a
• 46:07
  Speaker 22: two thousand percent pay raise, so they say one thing.
• 46:10
  Speaker 9: Is the other.
• 46:11
  Speaker 22: And then the Inflation Reduction Act actually raised inflation out
• 46:16
  Speaker 22: of control, and now they have this what they call
• 46:19
  Speaker 22: fair Redistrict ten.
• 46:20
  Speaker 9: But if you remember non Partisan.
• 46:26
  Speaker 22: Redistrict Commission passed in twenty twenty, I think at twenty
• 46:30
  Speaker 22: one Democrats nineteen voted yes and all the Republicans voted yes.
• 46:34
  Speaker 22: I think it was forty eight to two in twenty twenty.
• 46:36
  Speaker 22: Now that they have power, they said, wait minute, we
• 46:39
  Speaker 22: can change our mind. We the people shouldn't choose who
• 46:41
  Speaker 22: represents us. It should be partisan Democrats that shoes who
• 46:45
  Speaker 22: represent you. So they're trying to trick you. I would
• 46:47
  Speaker 22: ask everyone to just get out the vote, get out
• 46:50
  Speaker 22: of the vote, get everybody to vote. Know the people, We
• 46:53
  Speaker 22: the people should choose who represent us, not partisan Democrats.
• 46:58
  Speaker 7: Well is it also yeah, I think it's It was
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: a chicken maneuver by the Virginia Supreme Court to kind
• 47:04
  Speaker 7: of say, well, we'll take We'll take the forty five
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: days that we are going to be voting for this
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: thing to decide on it. They're going to do. They're
• 47:13
  Speaker 7: not even going to finalize their decision until after the
• 47:18
  Speaker 7: election the voting is done. I can't get anyone to
• 47:21
  Speaker 7: agree to to put a gag order on the in
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: the Virginia Board of elections to make sure they don't
• 47:29
  Speaker 7: announce the results before the Supreme Court rules. But I
• 47:33
  Speaker 7: think this is crazy that they couldn't come up with
• 47:36
  Speaker 7: something before the voting even started.
• 47:41
  Speaker 22: I have some information on that so and again I'm
• 47:44
  Speaker 22: not a lawyer, so you know, with as much as
• 47:47
  Speaker 22: you can trust different lawyers.
• 47:48
  Speaker 9: They said it.
• 47:49
  Speaker 22: Actually it should have caught the attention of the Democrats
• 47:53
  Speaker 22: because the fact that they said we're not going to
• 47:55
  Speaker 22: hear this until two days have to referendum. But they
• 47:57
  Speaker 22: didn't say anything about the sixth vile relations that task
• 48:01
  Speaker 22: Well identified as s talent and that said, that's got
• 48:05
  Speaker 22: to make the Democrats very nervous.
• 48:07
  Speaker 9: Because normally, if they're going to.
• 48:11
  Speaker 22: Possibly overturn Task Well, they would have mentioned it in
• 48:14
  Speaker 22: their statement and they did not.
• 48:16
  Speaker 9: So it's a good sign.
• 48:17
  Speaker 22: But the Democrats might be spending a lot of money
• 48:19
  Speaker 22: and run around. But we can't take a chance to everybody.
• 48:21
  Speaker 22: So we got a call, text email, get out the
• 48:24
  Speaker 22: vote and it'll be a win win if we could
• 48:27
  Speaker 22: do that, because we need to grow our volunteer army
• 48:30
  Speaker 22: and turn Virginia read again.
• 48:32
  Speaker 9: We need all hands on this division. Where I'm with
• 48:35
  Speaker 9: this group and I'm with this group.
• 48:36
  Speaker 22: Of Republicans and that group of Republican The Democrats love that,
• 48:40
  Speaker 22: you know, as a Navy seal, as a special ops
• 48:43
  Speaker 22: better and they taught us to go behind enemy line,
• 48:45
  Speaker 22: divide your enemy into little pieces, surround them, and kill
• 48:49
  Speaker 22: them all. And the Democrats are dividing the Republican party
• 48:52
  Speaker 22: with all this ridiculous infighting. Some people think they're winning,
• 48:55
  Speaker 22: they think it's funny, but what it's doing is it's
• 48:57
  Speaker 22: given our country to these communists. So I don't care
• 49:01
  Speaker 22: if you like me or not. Put your differences aside.
• 49:03
  Speaker 22: Let's row in the same direction. It's not about me,
• 49:06
  Speaker 22: it's about Virginia. It's about our country. It's about the future.
• 49:09
  Speaker 22: And I'm everything I can and make sure.
• 49:11
  Speaker 9: We went well.
• 49:12
