Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: All we say to America is be true to what
- 0:07Speaker 1: you're saying.
- 0:07Speaker 2: On paper, and needs a no basis because you need
- 0:11Speaker 2: to know the first thing today you.
- 0:14Speaker 3: Word said, steal me step, you have a day at
- 0:19Speaker 3: least for work when the sun comes up, drops a
- 0:21Speaker 3: kid to school. Nay, Joey is everything a dreamer all
- 0:26Speaker 3: the treasure seven needs no one that Joe's as smiled.
- 0:32Speaker 2: He only AIGs. Please let it be Joe.
- 0:37Speaker 1: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
- 0:39Speaker 1: this morning.
- 0:40Speaker 4: I want to be.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Blessings to you and the talk media network that put
- 0:46Speaker 1: us together, so we can share some common sense for
- 0:49Speaker 1: a minute or six at four three four eight eight
- 0:52Speaker 1: two four two one seven, even if it isn't commonplace anymore,
- 0:58Speaker 1: it's commonplace versus common sense. And unfortunately the phrase common
- 1:05Speaker 1: sense causes us to believe that it is something that
- 1:09Speaker 1: we all just get. And it's a phrase that I
- 1:15Speaker 1: think we need to be careful with because kids are
- 1:17Speaker 1: not born with common sense. Kids are taught common sense,
- 1:22Speaker 1: kids are taught Socratic method. If kids are taught because
- 1:26Speaker 1: I said so, then they're going to fall prey to
- 1:30Speaker 1: the Marxists because that's their governing philosophy because I said so,
- 1:38Speaker 1: And on this Martin Luther King Junior Day, so much
- 1:41Speaker 1: controversy around somebody who was simply saying there was an
- 1:45Speaker 1: illegal law. And to that end, many people and I
- 1:52Speaker 1: may see them here. We're in the capital. We like
- 1:55Speaker 1: to call it the Capital of the Confederacy because it
- 1:58Speaker 1: tweaks people. Richmond, virgin for one of the biggest civil
- 2:02Speaker 1: rights rallies in the country. It's the vcdl Lobby Day
- 2:07Speaker 1: rally going on here. It goes on every year on
- 2:09Speaker 1: Martin Luther King Junior Day. Gun owner, Second Amendment supporter,
- 2:15Speaker 1: freedom fighter. And you know, we've had as many as
- 2:22Speaker 1: fifty thousand people in the streets of Richmond, never a problem,
- 2:25Speaker 1: never even an allegation of violence. Streets were cleaner after
- 2:31Speaker 1: they left. But because the press took pictures of them holding.
- 2:35Speaker 5: Scary black rifles over their heads.
- 2:38Speaker 1: People are concerned. Meanwhile, in Minnesota, this video is making
- 2:44Speaker 1: the rounds of an ICE agent pulling up to a
- 2:47Speaker 1: group of people like Renee Good, honking horns and warning
- 2:51Speaker 1: people Ice is coming. Ice is coming. Just like the
- 2:54Speaker 1: lady outside of the the Early Leaning Center, We're.
- 3:00Speaker 6: Here to arrest a child sex offendant. And you guys
- 3:05Speaker 6: out here, honky, and in keeping our investigations while we're
- 3:08Speaker 6: trying to arrest a child sex offender. That's who you
- 3:11Speaker 6: guys are protecting.
- 3:13Speaker 1: And you know it's allegations, sure, and several text messages
- 3:17Speaker 1: when we've played that clip, Joe, those are just allegations, yes,
- 3:20Speaker 1: but they're allegations being made against somebody in a country
- 3:24Speaker 1: where those allegations have to be investigated, don't they. And
- 3:27Speaker 1: if you're stopping somebody from investigating somebody from committing a crime,
- 3:35Speaker 1: then you're aiding and a betting charges could be filed. No,
- 3:39Speaker 1: the ICE agent wasn't interested in arresting these protesters, but
- 3:43Speaker 1: laying out the groundwork for exactly what it was they
- 3:47Speaker 1: were doing this morning on First Thing Today are broadcast
- 3:50Speaker 1: brought to you by Big Ridge Guns and Archery. Big
- 3:53Speaker 1: Ridgeguns dot Com is where you find them online. And
- 3:58Speaker 1: take a look at a brand new guns shop. Still
- 4:01Speaker 1: has that new gun shop smell. We're here at the
- 4:03Speaker 1: Virginia Capitol Building or the Virginia Government offices. It's a
- 4:07Speaker 1: brand new building as well. Still off gassing a little bit.
- 4:10Speaker 1: I think that's off gassing somebody, all right? Never mind,
- 4:15Speaker 1: is a caucus in session smells like a caucuses in session.
- 4:19Speaker 1: But our first things on this Martin Luther King Day morning.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Trump administration is discussing the possibility of offering asylum to
- 4:29Speaker 1: Jewish people, which they didn't do during World War Two.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Britain's Jews, however, according to the UK Telegraph, would be
- 4:38Speaker 1: looking for asylum in the United States. The President's personal lawyer,
- 4:42Speaker 1: Robert Garson, told the newspaper he has held conversations with
- 4:45Speaker 1: the State Department about offering refuge to British Jews who
- 4:50Speaker 1: are leaving the UK, citing anti Semitism, running a monk
- 4:54Speaker 1: in cities like London. Hackers up to Iranian state television
- 5:02Speaker 1: satellite transmissions to air footage supporting the country's exiled crown print.
- 5:07Speaker 1: In a speech given here in Virginia at the end
- 5:10Speaker 1: of last week, Reza Pallavi called on security voices to
- 5:15Speaker 1: not point your weapons at the people. US Department of
- 5:19Speaker 1: Justice said Sunday it's investigating those protesters in Minnesota who
- 5:23Speaker 1: stormed a church where a local official with ice serves
- 5:27Speaker 1: as pastor. It was live streamed on Black Lives Matters
- 5:31Speaker 1: Facebook page. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is weighing a decision
- 5:36Speaker 1: on the president's authority. Pardon me. The Pentagon has ordered
- 5:41Speaker 1: fifteen hundred active duty soldiers in Alaska to prepare for
- 5:45Speaker 1: possible deployment to Minnesota tariffs. That was where I was
- 5:49Speaker 1: going with the Supreme Court story. The president's authority to
- 5:53Speaker 1: impose tariffs under the premise of rebalancing global trade and
- 5:58Speaker 1: serving US national security interests will be on the Supreme
- 6:02Speaker 1: Court docket this week. Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer
- 6:06Speaker 1: said that if the President carries out his threat of
- 6:10Speaker 1: tariffs against allies over Greenland, he says it's completely wrong.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Trump said Saturday he would in charge a ten percent
- 6:18Speaker 1: in port tax starting in February if anyone stood in
- 6:22Speaker 1: the way of their purchase of the Danish Protectorate. Senator
- 6:28Speaker 1: Ran Paul, reacting to press coverage that said the President
- 6:32Speaker 1: is going to invade with military force, has co authored
- 6:35Speaker 1: legislation with Virginia's learned scholar, Senator Tim Kaine that would
- 6:40Speaker 1: stop the President from doing something that the President has
- 6:43Speaker 1: never said he was going to do, although the press
- 6:46Speaker 1: asked him and he said it could certainly be on
- 6:48Speaker 1: the table. So now they have legislation on the floor
- 6:51Speaker 1: of the Senate that would keep him from doing that.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Those are some of your first things on this Martin
- 6:56Speaker 1: Luther King Day morning. Thanks for joining us here on
- 6:59Speaker 1: the media network.
- 7:01Speaker 7: You know a lot of times you have to choose
- 7:03Speaker 7: between something high quality or something that saves you money.
- 7:07Speaker 7: But what if you could get both? Why not, especially
- 7:09Speaker 7: when it comes to healthcare, and that is meta share.
- 7:12Speaker 7: You get both. Many families save five hundred bucks a
- 7:16Speaker 7: month with meta share and that's huge. But it's also
- 7:19Speaker 7: true that people wind up way more satisfied too, and
- 7:21Speaker 7: we know this from research of members. There's a lot
- 7:24Speaker 7: they like about meta Share, but especially they love being
- 7:27Speaker 7: part of something they believe in. And Medashare works too.
- 7:31Speaker 7: It has for more than thirty years. There are hundreds
- 7:34Speaker 7: of thousands of members who love having telehealth if they
- 7:37Speaker 7: need it. They love the huge Ppo network. You could
- 7:40Speaker 7: save a ton and like it better. Imagine being happy

- 10:27Speaker 10: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

- 13:54Speaker 1: this is all the creation of a fevered mind. But
- 13:59Speaker 1: it's all late out for you in four part harmony
- 14:02Speaker 1: and in most places stereo Rezapa Lavi, son of the Shah,
- 14:07Speaker 1: Crown Prince, if you will of Iran in depose as
- 14:12Speaker 1: the Ayatola was in nineteen seventy eight, gave a speech
- 14:17Speaker 1: in Arlington, Virginia on Friday, and my friends Joel and
- 14:23Speaker 1: On Sami and his partners in the America's Roundtable program
- 14:29Speaker 1: were there and sat down got with him and this
- 14:33Speaker 1: is a little of what he said. This is the
- 14:35Speaker 1: stuff that hackers playing out that beautiful See who was
- 14:40Speaker 1: it was? It was Frank Zappa's kid. It was Duesel
- 14:45Speaker 1: Zappa was the kid that with the hacker working for
- 14:49Speaker 1: Mick Fleetwood. Right in Running Man, if you've never seen
- 14:53Speaker 1: the original Running Man and you've only seen the current one,
- 14:55Speaker 1: I don't know anything about the current running Man. But
- 14:58Speaker 1: in the original with a the old and Richard Dawson,
- 15:04Speaker 1: the underground is led by Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood mac
- 15:09Speaker 1: Yes and his chief hacker is Dweezl Zappa, and they
- 15:13Speaker 1: hack in to the state run television stations in America
- 15:18Speaker 1: and broadcast what really happened in the butcher of Bakersfield incident.
- 15:25Speaker 1: So in a reenactment of such moments, hackers broke into
- 15:29Speaker 1: Iranian state television to carry the speech of Reza Pahlavi
- 15:34Speaker 1: in which he told the militia, the police, the gen
- 15:38Speaker 1: domerie to not point their guns at their fellow citizens.
- 15:45Speaker 1: Official numbers four thousand, I'm hearing well in excessive ten
- 15:49Speaker 1: thousand people dead in these riots, and by the way,
- 15:53Speaker 1: proof that you don't need a gun to protest the government.
- 15:57Speaker 1: You just need crazy numbers in order to protest the government.
- 16:04Speaker 1: And you have to be willing to understand that some
- 16:06Speaker 1: of you are not coming back from the riots, if
- 16:09Speaker 1: you really understand how this works. They're not the same
- 16:12Speaker 1: kind of country we are. But we want these protests
- 16:17Speaker 1: and the uprising against the theocracy there. But anyway, here's
- 16:22Speaker 1: Reza Polavi from his speech on Friday.
- 16:26Speaker 25: The truth is now undeniable. The so called Islamic Republic
- 16:34Speaker 25: is not the government of Iran. It is a hostile
- 16:39Speaker 25: occupying force that's hijacked our homeland. After invading five neighboring
- 16:46Speaker 25: countries and throwing chaos across the region, this regime has
- 16:52Speaker 25: invaded Iran itself, using foreign terrorists, Hezbollah fighters, Iraqi militia
- 17:00Speaker 25: and other mercenaries to slaughter the Iranian people. This is
- 17:07Speaker 25: no longer mere repression, This is foreign occupation wearing clerical robes.
- 17:15Speaker 25: Just as Saddam Hussein drown the Marsians in blood and
- 17:19Speaker 25: Bashor Arasad turned battle bombs on his own children, Ali
- 17:23Speaker 25: Khamene and his thugs have committed mass crimes against the
- 17:27Speaker 25: Iranian people and against all of humanity. And just like
- 17:33Speaker 25: those other tyrannies, the Islamic Republic will fall, not if,
- 17:41Speaker 25: but when.
- 17:43Speaker 2: The world must hear this clearly.
- 17:46Speaker 25: The battle in Iran today is not between reform and revolution.
- 17:52Speaker 25: It is between occupation and liberation. And the Iranian people
- 17:57Speaker 25: have already chosen their side. Their heads are blooded, but
- 18:03Speaker 25: un bout yet the cost has been heartbreaking. The people
- 18:10Speaker 25: of Iran are being slaughtered in the streets and in
- 18:12Speaker 25: their homes by a regime that shows no mercy. More
- 18:18Speaker 25: than twelve thousand Iranians were massacred in forty eight hours,
- 18:24Speaker 25: one murder every fourteen seconds.
- 18:27Speaker 1: So it's raised a polavi. On Friday of last week,
- 18:31Speaker 1: speaking to a group here in Virginia, and again thanks
- 18:35Speaker 1: to Joel and the folks at America's Roundtable, who are
- 18:43Speaker 1: our partners in this, and I know that they're on
- 18:49Speaker 1: several of our affiliate stations, so appreciate them as well.
- 19:04Speaker 1: That anyone that carries America's Roundtable very good and even handed.
- 19:09Speaker 1: They go and get the newsmakers. And also I know
- 19:13Speaker 1: Alabama's got a few stations that carry both of us.
- 19:22Speaker 1: But you have to you know, when the words occupation
- 19:25Speaker 1: and understand that's a very specific word. And a lot
- 19:32Speaker 1: of people look at revolution and you talk about revolution.
- 19:36Speaker 1: Here in the United States, we did not hold a
- 19:38Speaker 1: revolution because of what happened two hundred and fifty years
- 19:42Speaker 1: ago here with the kid from Charlottesville. We had declared
- 19:55Speaker 1: Britain and occupying force. We declare that we no longer
- 20:05Speaker 1: recognize their authority over us, and therefore we viewed them
- 20:12Speaker 1: as an occupying force. So we were not revolting against them.
- 20:16Speaker 1: We were trying to rid our country of them. Now,
- 20:20Speaker 1: this is a key thing that was it to Baron
- 20:24Speaker 1: von Steuben for our friends listening, I think today in Altoona,
- 20:29Speaker 1: maybe State College as well, Steubenville, and you know, Baron
- 20:33Speaker 1: von Steuben comes to Valley Forge and convenes with George
- 20:40Speaker 1: Washington and explains to him very clearly, you don't have
- 20:45Speaker 1: to win. You just have to not lose because this
- 20:49Speaker 1: is your country. They're the invading force. You keep not losing,
- 20:55Speaker 1: they will eventually quit. And they did. The corses that
- 21:01Speaker 1: saw our declaration of independence as a button down legal
- 21:05Speaker 1: filing eventually won the day in Parliament. This is Edmund Burke,
- 21:10Speaker 1: the founder of modern conservatism. Everything we do here if
- 21:14Speaker 1: you go and read Russell Kirk, it all begins with that.
- 21:18Speaker 1: You know, MP from Belfast, Northern Ireland, and by the way,
- 21:22Speaker 1: on Northern Ireland. Real quick before we head to the
- 21:25Speaker 1: news Max coming up, and we're going to talk more

- 21:30Speaker 1: but Tony Blair of the committee that will oversee Gaza.

- 21:49Speaker 1: the troubles with the IRA, the only leader in the
- 21:54Speaker 1: free world to have actually done it, so you know,
- 21:57Speaker 1: and we'll get into that coming up in a little bit.

- 28:31Speaker 1: It is time too, As Howard Cosell once put it,
- 28:35Speaker 1: focus on the field where they play for pay. Of course,
- 28:39Speaker 1: he always used to say that in a reference to
- 28:41Speaker 1: the National Football League. Now it's pretty much anywhere people
- 28:45Speaker 1: take to a court with some balls in their hand
- 28:48Speaker 1: and try to score some points. How are you doing
- 28:50Speaker 1: this morning, mac McDonald?
- 28:52Speaker 30: What a crazy weekend When you throw in the Broncos,
- 28:56Speaker 30: the Broncos finish and the interception was it was it not?
- 29:01Speaker 30: And the bon knicks then the fractured ankle. What goes
- 29:04Speaker 30: around comes around, it seems, even though I think the
- 29:06Speaker 30: official got it right with the Jaquan McMillan, you know,
- 29:11Speaker 30: the McMillan and Shrucks securing.
- 29:13Speaker 1: The ball first.
- 29:14Speaker 30: With all that going on, we have another game tonight,
- 29:18Speaker 30: which is pretty big, and the Hoosiers are seven and
- 29:20Speaker 30: a half point favorites tonight. With all the with all
- 29:23Speaker 30: the talk and all the all the press conferences and
- 29:25Speaker 30: everything I went through, Uh, it was a matter of Okay,
- 29:29Speaker 30: the Miami guys are talking education, and so I thought, well,
- 29:32Speaker 30: that's great, Okay, I'll buy into that, especially when Carson
- 29:36Speaker 30: Beck admitted he hadn't been he hadn't gone to class
- 29:39Speaker 30: in two years.
- 29:40Speaker 27: I'll get to that just a second.
- 29:41Speaker 30: With all that being said, Mario christ of Baal said,
- 29:44Speaker 30: you know, he was asked about, how are you managing
- 29:46Speaker 30: the portal?
- 29:46Speaker 1: How are you getting things done? You know what?
- 29:49Speaker 30: Well, of course Mario said, you know, yeah, we.
- 29:51Speaker 1: Have a lot to fix. I can't hear Mario, Matt,
- 29:59Speaker 1: you can't hear that. Why can't you do that way? Manue?
- 30:02Speaker 1: Maybe it's because i'm recording it. I don't know.
- 30:06Speaker 27: Oh, I'm set there.
- 30:08Speaker 1: I'm good.
- 30:08Speaker 30: I'm good, I got it shared.
- 30:11Speaker 1: You know what, I may have screwed it up. I'm
- 30:12Speaker 1: going to tell you what. I'm going to stop that now,
- 30:14Speaker 1: all right. So now I was just trying to give
- 30:17Speaker 1: some my my webman some stuff to post online. But
- 30:21Speaker 1: forget it. See if that'll do it now, because maybe
- 30:24Speaker 1: now I.
- 30:25Speaker 30: Will record and I can send it to you.
- 30:27Speaker 1: I know that, you know that, I know that you
- 30:29Speaker 1: know that I know i'd see. If I'm still not
- 30:33Speaker 1: getting them. I screwed it up back, It's not It's
- 30:38Speaker 1: not there somehow. Let me see try it again, all right, Let's.
- 30:43Speaker 15: See in athletes to pursue their best opportunities while maintaining
- 30:49Speaker 15: the principles and values that come with college football, which
- 30:52Speaker 15: I think we all know.
- 30:52Speaker 1: We've lost that a little bit.
- 30:54Speaker 15: And then obviously we're up against a different clock being
- 30:57Speaker 15: that WORSTI playing, and all the focus for us is
- 30:59Speaker 15: on playing. And then all the extra time which you
- 31:01Speaker 15: have to make you have to cut into your own
- 31:03Speaker 15: time to continue to build your team for the future.
- 31:06Speaker 15: And you know, we feel we've done the best that
- 31:08Speaker 15: we can thus far, and.
- 31:09Speaker 30: We're going to keep going well, And that's a signed.
- 31:11Speaker 30: Reporters are really trying to you know, they're trying to
- 31:13Speaker 30: dive into any subject matter outside of x's and o's
- 31:16Speaker 30: and who's gonna win and the point spread and the
- 31:18Speaker 30: fact that Indiana could win big tonight. But it was Carson.
- 31:22Speaker 1: This was great.
- 31:23Speaker 30: So this female reporter said, Carson, how have you been
- 31:26Speaker 30: able to manage your classes with all the excitement of
- 31:30Speaker 30: a championship game, all the hyper on campus? And Carson
- 31:35Speaker 30: Beck was very, very honest.
- 31:38Speaker 1: No, class.
- 31:39Speaker 31: I graduated two years ago, so obviously I've been working
- 31:44Speaker 31: towards other degrees now that I've gotten to Miami. But
- 31:46Speaker 31: these programs take a little longer than just a year
- 31:48Speaker 31: to finish. So obviously I'm not enrolling again next semester,
- 31:53Speaker 31: so I'll be after this season.
- 31:55Speaker 1: Yeah, man, why would you want to go to hang
- 31:57Speaker 1: on your honor? The prosecution would like to admit exhibit
- 32:03Speaker 1: as to walk back.
- 32:04Speaker 30: I had to double check that that wasn't an AI,
- 32:07Speaker 30: you know, sure sure inscribe fits because so many of
- 32:10Speaker 30: that stuff is, And I had to look at it,
- 32:12Speaker 30: look at it sure enough, it's uh.
- 32:14Speaker 1: It made it made the rounds a lot graduated two
- 32:17Speaker 1: years ago.
- 32:18Speaker 30: So, oh my Carson, he told the media when he
- 32:22Speaker 30: was at Georgia, he didn't. He goes, I don't like football.
- 32:24Speaker 30: I don't even like to watch it. Okay, well, now
- 32:27Speaker 30: you're in the National championship game.
- 32:29Speaker 1: He's going to be a top draft choice. Just here the.
- 32:32Speaker 30: Indiana guys who are average age twenty three and a
- 32:34Speaker 30: half who were playing tonight. Uh, they're gonna after the
- 32:38Speaker 30: first sack, they're gonna.
- 32:39Speaker 1: Go, how much fun is this? You watching this?
- 32:41Speaker 32: You know?
- 32:42Speaker 1: So it's just because it happens. It just happens, all right.
- 32:45Speaker 30: So the big course of all all the discussion from
- 32:48Speaker 30: Saturday the Bills in Broncos pass play, referring to the
- 32:51Speaker 30: overtime play in the recent game with QB Jaquan McMillan
- 32:56Speaker 30: intercepting a d pass from Bill's QB Josh Allen, which
- 32:58Speaker 30: would have given the Bills they were at the twenty
- 33:00Speaker 30: yard line, they would have kicked the field goal and
- 33:03Speaker 30: they would have won in overtime, all right. So, and
- 33:06Speaker 30: then officials ruled it an interception because Cooks didn't maintain
- 33:10Speaker 30: control through the ground. And when you watch it, because
- 33:14Speaker 30: the way the rule is now you have to almost
- 33:18Speaker 30: stand up and hand the ball to the referee.
- 33:20Speaker 2: I got it.
- 33:21Speaker 30: It's mine to be at well, of course, Sean McDermott
- 33:24Speaker 30: not happy.
- 33:25Speaker 24: It would seem logical to me that it make a
- 33:27Speaker 24: lot of sense that the head official would walk over
- 33:31Speaker 24: and want to go and take a look at it,
- 33:32Speaker 24: just to make sure that everybody from here who is
- 33:35Speaker 24: in the stadium to there are on the same page.
- 33:38Speaker 24: That's that's too big of a play. And I've had
- 33:40Speaker 24: a chance to look at It's hard for me to
- 33:42Speaker 24: understand why it was ruled the way it was ruled.
- 33:45Speaker 24: What went on is not that is not how it
- 33:47Speaker 24: should go down.
- 33:48Speaker 32: Yeah, so anyway, depending on the and again, and I
- 33:52Speaker 32: I am to the point and I've complained about past
- 33:54Speaker 32: interference for years because past interference is one of the
- 33:58Speaker 32: most inconsistent calls, you know.
- 34:00Speaker 30: And you just see especially now with replaying whatever, as
- 34:03Speaker 30: long as you're not holding I would just let dvs
- 34:06Speaker 30: and receivers each other.
- 34:08Speaker 1: I've watched the whole weekend and and and it just
- 34:11Speaker 1: looks like what's going on now is like two centers
- 34:14Speaker 1: in the NBA, you know, elbowing each other and grabbing
- 34:18Speaker 1: each other's arms and you know, just let go.
- 34:21Speaker 30: I mean, yeah, as long as you don't hold or
- 34:24Speaker 30: even like just grab an arm. I think I would say,
- 34:26Speaker 30: don't grab an arm and don't hold.
- 34:27Speaker 1: Other than that, it seems like even swatting at an
- 34:31Speaker 1: arm is okay. Just don't close your hand on it.
- 34:34Speaker 30: Just don't hold, right I I because pass it and
- 34:37Speaker 30: then they know and.
- 34:39Speaker 1: This in this interception call, you know, for every time
- 34:42Speaker 1: this is called the other way where a receiver like
- 34:45Speaker 1: comes down with the ball but then the ball pops
- 34:47Speaker 1: out as he's rolling over and they say incomplete ground
- 34:51Speaker 1: and everyone's arguing, well, that was the reason the rule
- 34:54Speaker 1: was put into places that you have to control the
- 34:56Speaker 1: ball through the end of the catch and all.
- 34:59Speaker 30: The no no, all these basement wannabes and they post
- 35:02Speaker 30: things on social media.
- 35:03Speaker 1: Well there's no NFL. They don't have any golf to
- 35:07Speaker 1: call the PGA and say, yeah, you know, Bruce Kapka
- 35:10Speaker 1: touched the poul that ball move by one hundred and
- 35:14Speaker 1: eighty kill a byte TV just but you got it
- 35:18Speaker 1: with me last night with the Chicago fans.
- 35:20Speaker 30: I've got a real good friend who who I teach
- 35:22Speaker 30: was a big Bears guy. And uh uh with Caleb
- 35:25Speaker 30: Williams throwing that hail Mary from the forty yard line
- 35:29Speaker 30: after he retreated twenty some of yards, you know, just
- 35:32Speaker 30: trying to get free, and he hits his uh you know,
- 35:34Speaker 30: Cole commet, he hits his tight end. Uh and then
- 35:37Speaker 30: to lose it to throw the pick h and then
- 35:39Speaker 30: have Matthew Stafford go you know, and and I I
- 35:42Speaker 30: mean that was just I mean, it was amazing theater.
- 35:45Speaker 30: But again, of all the things that have happened, you
- 35:48Speaker 30: can just count them off one through ten. The bone knicks,
- 35:51Speaker 30: fractured ankle. I mean, it was the third play before
- 35:53Speaker 30: they kicked the field goal, and he.
- 35:56Speaker 1: Even what's gonna happen.
- 35:57Speaker 30: He took a knee, He got up, hobblin and he
- 36:00Speaker 30: went to the sideline and Sean Payne went to say, hey, congratulations,
- 36:03Speaker 30: big fella.
- 36:04Speaker 1: Nice job.
- 36:05Speaker 30: Whenever he goes, well, no, no, no, don't touch me.
- 36:09Speaker 1: But that's gonna be a big disue. Here here's the
- 36:12Speaker 1: thing Sunday, and and this is going to start all
- 36:15Speaker 1: the people's and we all need dome stadiums and blah
- 36:18Speaker 1: blah blah. Because there was so much snow, there were
- 36:20Speaker 1: more turnovers than the coffee shop has you know, you know,
- 36:24Speaker 1: and Buffalo, Buffalo, Oh we lost it. You should not
- 36:28Speaker 1: have even been close. They had the ball ten minutes
- 36:31Speaker 1: longer than the Broncos did, but they coughed up what
- 36:35Speaker 1: three fumbles and two interceptions? Uh you know, Okay, that's
- 36:39Speaker 1: how you let a team. I mean a bow knicks
- 36:42Speaker 1: through I think, more picks than than you know, an NBA.
- 36:45Speaker 30: Center CJ Stroud through four I think, yeah, yeah it.
- 36:50Speaker 1: So everyone's complaining about the weather being an impact to it.
- 36:53Speaker 1: I said, I'm sorry, you play in Denver, in Chicago
- 36:56Speaker 1: and New England and you're complaining about snow.
- 36:59Speaker 30: Really, if I'm a Patriots fan now, Jared Stidham was
- 37:04Speaker 30: signed by the Broncos as a free agent twenty twenty three.
- 37:07Speaker 30: He took just four snaps this year, boy, and he
- 37:09Speaker 30: appeared in one game in twenty twenty four. He just
- 37:11Speaker 30: played in three games. So over two years, four games,
- 37:18Speaker 30: and he's going to get the start in the AFC Championship.
- 37:22Speaker 1: Can they get Peyton Manning to suit up? I mean,
- 37:24Speaker 1: this is the year of like fifty four year old quarterbacks.
- 37:27Speaker 30: Right, Broncos fans, immediately, we want Philip rivers, one more
- 37:33Speaker 30: for phillipy one more for Philip.
- 37:35Speaker 1: Oh gods, I know, can we get rivers?
- 37:38Speaker 30: Can we get you know?
- 37:39Speaker 1: So anyway, there it goes, so anyway.
- 37:40Speaker 30: The conference championship games are set three and six thirty.
- 37:44Speaker 30: If you want to play in your it's one of
- 37:45Speaker 30: the better Sundays of the year.
- 37:47Speaker 1: Well, and I hope tonight lives up to I'm rooting
- 37:50Speaker 1: for signetti. You know our stations in person for a game. Yeah,

- 38:01Speaker 14: According to a new report from Discovery Education, ninety two
- 38:04Speaker 14: percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
- 38:08Speaker 14: and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
- 38:11Speaker 14: critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
- 38:15Speaker 14: but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure, and sustain
- 38:19Speaker 14: student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
- 38:22Speaker 14: students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
- 38:26Speaker 14: forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
- 38:29Speaker 14: principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
- 38:33Speaker 14: the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
- 38:37Speaker 14: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
- 38:41Speaker 14: while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
- 38:45Speaker 14: assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
- 38:49Speaker 14: students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
- 38:52Speaker 14: yet fewer than half of teachers report using AI themselves
- 38:55Speaker 14: to complete tasks. Visit Discovery education dot com to learn

- 40:37Speaker 20: than from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
- 40:42Speaker 20: the one for newmic coccle disease can protect adults from
- 40:44Speaker 20: illnesses that can cause mistays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
- 40:49Speaker 20: New macccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
- 40:53Speaker 20: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
- 40:57Speaker 20: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
- 41:00Speaker 20: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

- 42:06Speaker 19: you recognize them by their clothes, their age, the way

- 43:02Speaker 13: Think about this. There are five freedoms guaranteed in the
- 43:05Speaker 13: First Amendment. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of
- 43:10Speaker 13: the press, freedom to peaceably assemble, freedom to petition the government.
- 43:14Speaker 13: Which freedom can you live without? Fortunately, the First Amendment
- 43:19Speaker 13: doesn't make you choose. It protects all five freedoms equally.

- 43:47Speaker 4: If you see a buzzed warning sign, call for a

- 43:56Speaker 2: It's only the first thing today by Joe Thomas on

- 44:43Speaker 1: Times, not a firearm in sight, Late ninety three, Times
- 44:56Speaker 1: September eleventh, two thousand and one, box us and just
- 45:02Speaker 1: balls to the wall courage of Americans who said not
- 45:05Speaker 1: on this airplane. And it's a reminder as we rally
- 45:10Speaker 1: here in Virginia's capital for one of the biggest civil
- 45:14Speaker 1: rights rallies in America, and we're going to probably see
- 45:18Speaker 1: quite the counter protesters as well. And I'll guarandamn to
- 45:21Speaker 1: you two out of every three news stories will be
- 45:24Speaker 1: about the counter protesters protesting against Second Amendment rights. But
- 45:34Speaker 1: one of my favorite stories told by you know, not
- 45:37Speaker 1: necessarily the greatest order in the world kind of halting.
- 45:40Speaker 1: Not always a great story, but John Fitzgerald Kennedy told
- 45:44Speaker 1: this story once and it'll lead us into a text
- 45:46Speaker 1: exchange I had with our friend Kareem at four three
- 45:50Speaker 1: four eight eight two four two one seven, same place.
- 45:53Speaker 1: You can text message us, you can call us at
- 45:55Speaker 1: the number as well as we continue to ramp up
- 45:58Speaker 1: towards this Second Amendment and free speech and property rights
- 46:02Speaker 1: and all the other things that are protected by the
- 46:04Speaker 1: Second Amendment rally. Kareem earlier on had asked about Marxism
- 46:12Speaker 1: and Democratic Socialists of America supposedly supporting the Second Amendment,
- 46:20Speaker 1: and then I pushed back saying I don't see it,
- 46:23Speaker 1: and we didn't do it in a way that was like, oh,
- 46:27Speaker 1: I was just concerned that he was seeing something that
- 46:30Speaker 1: I didn't see from the Democratic Socialists of America. There
- 46:33Speaker 1: would be a surprise, and he realized, He said his
- 46:36Speaker 1: follow up was my mistake, these socialists and Marxist believers,
- 46:41Speaker 1: and he clips to Karl Marx's address to who is
- 46:47Speaker 1: this again? This is Karl Marx and Frederick Engels addressed
- 46:50Speaker 1: to the Central Committee of the Communist League in eighteen fifty,
- 46:57Speaker 1: in which he says, quote, under no preteil should arms
- 47:00Speaker 1: and ammunition be surrendered. Any attempt to disarm the workers
- 47:05Speaker 1: must be frustrated by force if necessary. So you know there,
- 47:09Speaker 1: I mean. Even Marx said, in order to fight tyranny,
- 47:13Speaker 1: you need the Second Amendment. Let's not forget he was
- 47:16Speaker 1: also a newsman.
- 47:17Speaker 33: The burdens of present day events bear upon your profession.
- 47:22Speaker 33: You may remember that in eighteen fifty one New York
- 47:27Speaker 33: Carol Tribune, under the sponsorship and publishing of Horace Greeley,
- 47:34Speaker 33: employed as its London correspondent an obscure journalist by the
- 47:38Speaker 33: name of cal Marx. We are told that foreign correspondent
- 47:42Speaker 33: Marx Stone, broke and with a family ill and undernourished,
- 47:47Speaker 33: constantly appeal to Greeley and managing editor Charles Dana for
- 47:53Speaker 33: an increase in his munificent salary of five dollars per installment,
- 47:57Speaker 33: a salary which he and Ingalls gratefully label as the
- 48:01Speaker 33: lousiest petty bourgeois cheating. But when all his financial appeals
- 48:06Speaker 33: were refused, March looked around for other means of livelihood
- 48:11Speaker 33: and fame, eventually terminating his relationship with the Tribune and
- 48:16Speaker 33: devoting his talents full time to the cause that would
- 48:19Speaker 33: bequeath to the world, the seeds of Leninism, Stalinism, revolution,
- 48:24Speaker 33: and the Cold War.
- 48:26Speaker 1: My favorite stories ever. If you think, if you think
- 48:29Speaker 1: the journalists of the twenty first century are the first Marxists, Eh, sorry,
- 48:35Speaker 1: onto the next round for you and see if you
- 48:37Speaker 1: can do better in double jeopardy. There it is. But
- 48:42Speaker 1: even Karl Marx understood what the Second Amendment stood for
- 48:47Speaker 1: and that if you're fighting tyranny, and it was a
- 48:51Speaker 1: point where you can say, well, I don't agree with
- 48:53Speaker 1: Marx on a lot, but Marx was putting together a
- 49:02Speaker 1: pushback against authoritarianism that he viewed. He viewed the authoritarianism
- 49:10Speaker 1: of the capitalist, of the bourgeois business owner. But even
- 49:18Speaker 1: he understood that the individual rights of the workers, in
- 49:22Speaker 1: his case, had to be defended by guns. I challenge
- 49:27Speaker 1: you to find another conservative talk show host this morning.
- 49:30Speaker 1: And I want to thank you for this, Kareem. And
- 49:32Speaker 1: it's a master's class. And why when you discuss things
- 49:36Speaker 1: with one another, you don't go scorched to earth. If
- 49:39Speaker 1: you see something or hear something that strikes an odd chord,
- 49:45Speaker 1: don't just say ah, that's crazy talk, because magic happens.
- 49:50Speaker 1: I had never seen this quote from Marx and I
- 49:53Speaker 1: appreciate you sharing it with me, Kareem, But if Kareem
- 49:58Speaker 1: had just a typical talk, it blew me off. It's
- 50:03Speaker 1: not true. And to his credit, he found what it
- 50:07Speaker 1: was that he was thinking about. He had heard somebody
- 50:10Speaker 1: somewhere say there were some Marxists that were in favor
- 50:14Speaker 1: of Second Amendment rights. And if you think about it,
- 50:19Speaker 1: it actually makes sense because Marx was talking about the
- 50:24Speaker 1: workers in Europe being oppressed by these capitalist overlords. In
- 50:34Speaker 1: Russia it was, you know, armed civilians. Now as soon
- 50:40Speaker 1: as Lenin got power, he disarmed them all and thus
- 50:43Speaker 1: begins this march to authoritarianism that I you know, honestly,
- 50:49Speaker 1: you wonder because people ask me this all the time
- 50:51Speaker 1: about Thomas Jefferson and those sorts of people, the founding
- 50:57Speaker 1: fathers of the United States. People ask me all the time, well,
- 51:00Speaker 1: what would Jefferson think of today? What would what would
- 51:03Speaker 1: James Madison think of Donald Trump?
- 51:05Speaker 2: Ha ha ha.
- 51:07Speaker 1: It's always the argument, what would Carl Marx think of
- 51:12Speaker 1: the movement today? What would Carl Marx think of Bernie Sanders?
- 51:19Speaker 1: What would Carl Marx think of Alexandra occasional Cortex? What
- 51:23Speaker 1: would Carl Marx think of ilhan Omar and her multiple
- 51:26Speaker 1: million dollar bank account. What would Carl Marx say to
- 51:30Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi and her multiple million dollar bank account?
- 51:35Speaker 5: Hmm?
- 51:37Speaker 1: I mean for everyone who asked me, what would what
- 51:39Speaker 1: would Thomas Jefferson say about Donald Trump?
- 51:41Speaker 29: Ha?
- 51:42Speaker 19: Ha?
- 51:44Speaker 1: You think about it and you look at some of
- 51:45Speaker 1: these statements, and again, kareem, I thank you for sharing
- 51:49Speaker 1: and giving me something to add to my pensive. That's
- 51:54Speaker 1: one for the Harry Potter geeks out There is a
- 51:59Speaker 1: thought that I hadn't seen or heard. And certainly the
- 52:02Speaker 1: Marxists of today, the Democratic Socialists of America aren't talking
- 52:06Speaker 1: about this stuff. And maybe it's because they control all
- 52:12Speaker 1: these levers in government that they don't feel like they
- 52:15Speaker 1: need to. They've got the guns that they need. They're
- 52:17Speaker 1: in the hands of the authoritarians already, So why would
- 52:23Speaker 1: we want citizens to be armed against the government we
- 52:25Speaker 1: control the government. There's a reasonable thought for that as well.
- 52:30Speaker 1: We are here for the biggest civil rights rally it's
- 52:33Speaker 1: certainly on the in the mid Atlantic today. Virginia Citizens
