  Speaker 2: This Saint Patti's day. Top of the morning. I've always
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: been top of the morning, whether it's been Joe Thomas
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: in the morning, first thing today by Joe Thomas at
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: your service, where we tell you what went on last night.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: We'll give you our analysis of what went on last night,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: but most importantly I want to hear about how it
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: is impacting you where you are the single most important
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: local aspect of your radio station. And four three four
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: eight eight two four to two one seven that's the
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: text message line, or you can call in to that
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: number as well and share your thoughts verbally and we'll
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: get into that as well. Charles writes in Driving out
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the Snakes apropos of the day, and so today Saint
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Donald is driving the snakes out of the Middle East
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: on the day we celebrate the real life escaped slave
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: who found Christianity and found his faith was sustaining through
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: his trials and tribulations, and came back and taught that
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: to the Irish people. And they've been a pain in
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: the British rumpus ever since because they will not be subjugated.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: And one of these days, one of these days, Alice,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: one of these days Britain will get it and work
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: on unification. Ireland is still one of the is one
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: of the few prosperous spots in the European Union. And
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I mean I watched some of it happen. A lot
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: of it happened as they kind of set the troubles
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: aside and they got past shin Fein and the Ira
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and they moved into a landscape where, you know, educating
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: kids and becoming a tech hub. I mean, they're they're
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: like Silicone Valley of Europe. And you know, everyone talks
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: about Fred and Ethel Mertz in Germany and France, and
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: these are the folks who have good pr firms, but
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the substantive wealth that props up the European Union that's
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: coming out of Ireland, and I know there are you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: our friends in Great Britain don't love to hear that,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: but I mean it's the truth. So Happy Saint Patrick's
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Day to you and to all escaped slaves. However you
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: have escaped slavery, you've probably done it with some faith
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: at your back. Our first things this morning, just breaking
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: half hour ago, Iran's a top security official in the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: head of the Revolutionary Guards Basij militia were killed in
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: overnight missile strikes, according to Israel's defense minister yesterday or
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: just half hour ago. So Tehran is firing more salvos
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: of missiles wildly and blindly. It seems that Arab neighbors
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: and some even at Israel. But this comes as the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: word is out of Israel. That's security chief Ali Larijani
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and General goham Riza Soliamani were eliminated last night. Rockets
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and five drones at least came towards the US embassy
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: in Baghdad yesterday as part of the Iranian response to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the bombardment of their capital. The Sea Ram air defense
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: system shot down two of the missiles, by the third
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: struck inside the embassy compound. US allies say their Green
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: movements are more powerful than their national security, so they
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: are fine with the oil being cut off through the
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Strait of Hormuz and the higher energy costs, hopefully forcing
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: people to put solar panels on everything. Well all, they
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: didn't say it in exactly that way, but they also
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: declined President Trump's invitation to send naval support to help
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: ships through the Straits of Horn Moves. President Trump dismissed
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: a call Monday from one of his close advisors on
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency to pull the plug on the
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: conflict with Iran, David Sachs in his All In podcast,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Really did we get this from David Sachs PR Firm?
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is even a real news story. I
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: feel like we should be getting paid to read this story.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: It's like a promo for his podcast. We should try
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: to find an off ramp. Okay, great, thanks for playing, Steve.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Steve Whitkoff says the channels between the Iranian Foreign Ministry
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: have been reactivated and discussions are going on. Though Abasarachi,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the Foreign Minister, at least we think he still is.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: The foreign minister, says the two sides have not exchanged
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: messages directly. First thing, today by Joe Thomas, supported in

  Speaker 10: Exercise is hard, so was maintained a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:03
  Speaker 10: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 10: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 10: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 10: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 10: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36

• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Chalk Radio. Just the way your mother used to make
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: his first thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Media Network.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Have meant you saying Patrick's Day to you hamp down
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: in the Treasure Coast this morning, Zero Hedge. It was
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: a Taylor Tyler Durden has been on the program before.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I love what Tyler does. But he published this piece
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: pulling from something called Modernity. Boy. I can't imagine why
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I don't subscribe to modernity, but as published in Modernity,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: maga's scene.
• 14:06
  Speaker 11: Just sub stack.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know what modernity is. Modernity News. Nothing says
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: good more than a website called Modernity News. Irish President
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Catherine Connolly marked her first Saint Patrick's day in office
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: by taking down her skirt and peeing all over the
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: memory of the patron Saint of Ireland. What no, Actually?
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I added that part no? I said the story actually says,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: spent her first Saint Patrick's day in office with a
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: message that reframed Ireland's patron saint as a symbol for
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: open borders and global citizenship, urging the Irish to embrace
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: migrants amid ongoing surges in arrivals that have sparked nation
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: and wide tensions. Now I am by descent Scottish, so
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I'm going to codify this right now. I will remind
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: you of a couple of things. Upon arriving and first
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: coming across my ancestors, the Roman legions decided build a
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: wall and keep them behind it. So and we love
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: our brothers and sisters from the Emerald Isle. Whenever we
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: need to go fight the British, we know they're there
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: with us. So I look at our be kilted brothers
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: and our besashed maidens with pity as a young lady
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: who has obviously had too much bush Mills in her
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: baby formula growing up and severely retarded her development. And
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: perhaps as you're fallen on her head, it's maybe a
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: cte to so completely misunderstand and pervert Saint Patrick's story.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: And I'm not you know, if you're Irish and you
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: want the Scotsman to put down the sharp objects and
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: stop talking about by all means. But let me let
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: me start by pointing out that Patrick was enslaved by
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: an invading army of Romans who arrived saying, hey, we
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: have an organization. Would you like an organization? We can
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: organize things for you. You're going to have to let
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: us take a lot of your young men back to
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Rome with us to do things like die in war
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: and serve us. But it'll be great. So the Romans
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: took many, many Irish lads like Patrick into servitude. And
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: so great was this opportunity for Patrick to serve the
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: be oiled Roman legions that he escaped. He escaped thousands
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: and thousands of miles with nary a train, a plane
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: or an automobile, with nothing more than his sandaled feet
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: to carry him. He escaped in a place where he
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: was nowhere near his native land, and came back to
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Ireland having learned about Christianity, while you know, hiding out
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: and trying to avoid being killed by the Romans, who
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: are now pissed off that he ran away finding out
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: about Christianity, said I need to tell everyone else in
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Ireland about this. So Madame Connolly. And this is hard
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: for me because Connolly is one of those names, is
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: actually my wife's maiden name. But it's a Scottish branch.
• 18:38
  Speaker 22: Oh.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Conallay is Irish, but there's a there is a Scottish
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: aspect of it. Madame Connolly, you are so incredibly wrong,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: but she is. She is exemplar of a story. I
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: did want to bring up the abandonment of Western civilization
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: by a Western civilization. So the European leaders NATO, Fred
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: and ethel Mertz and their you know, German Republic and
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: France and all these folks who were asked by President Trump,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: can you help so afraid of the Islamists that have debated,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: that have migrated to their country, who were fleeing Syria
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: and the tyranny there, then decided, hey, you know, maybe
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: we could get on some of our own tyranny. It's
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: good to be the king. Robespierre taught us that French
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: ought to know. So these European leaders have abandoned President
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Trump's request to send naval ships to help shepherd one
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: fifth of the world's oil reserves or oil production. Pardon me,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: through the Strait of Hormuz until we can successfully behead
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: the Revolutionary Guard. And it sounds like an Israeli missile
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: may have done a bit of that this morning. But
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: right now the Revolutionary Guard has been bombarding ships and
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: threatening them, and a lot of ships don't want to
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: go because a tanker has got a lot of things
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: that will go boom if a missile strikes them. So
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: President Trump said to Germany and France and Italy and
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Greece and all the NATO nations in the European Union, hey,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: could you help, and all of them to a man
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: woman and British Prime minister said no, Why because the
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: green movement in their country is more powerful than even
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: the open borders movement in their country. And the green
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: movement in their European countries has seized upon the spike
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: and oil gasoline prices and electricity prices based on the
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: price of the fuel that they generate with as a
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: great opportunity. Force more people into hybrid cars, force more
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: people off the roads, force more people to put solar
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: panels on their backs. So you see how the green
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: movement and these these progressive Marxist agendas can be very
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: capitulating to a European you know, Western zivilation question mark.
• 22:01
  Speaker 23: Hey Brandt, and her name is Shary.
• 22:03
  Speaker 22: I love.
• 22:04
  Speaker 23: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 23: for because of a surgery. She just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 18: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  Speaker 18: talk about all the time, which.

• 22:17
  Speaker 23: and healthcare ability?

  Speaker 18: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
• 22:21
  Speaker 18: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was.
• 22:24
  Speaker 18: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 18: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 18: call in with your need that.

  Speaker 23: Is just refreshing.
• 22:34
  Speaker 18: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 23: What I keep telling people. People love meta share and

• 22:41
  Speaker 23: hundred dollars a month.

  Speaker 3: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Can focus more on patients.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: But, as with any new technology, always keep a human
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare. AI

• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Finally, somebody of actual Irish descent on our Saint Patrick's day. Morning.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: He is mac McDonald, Good morning man, how are you, sir?
• 28:30
  Speaker 11: I love It's part Irish Port, Scottish. I went to
• 28:33
  Speaker 11: a Celtic festival.
• 28:34
  Speaker 26: A couple of years ago up in Ormond Beach and
• 28:37
  Speaker 26: I walked into a tent that had McDonald plaid, and
• 28:41
  Speaker 26: they had it spelled m ac And I explained to
• 28:44
  Speaker 26: this guy, who had a Scottish accident. I was very
• 28:46
  Speaker 26: very comfortable with explaining to him that with my mom
• 28:49
  Speaker 26: had looked at up years ago that John D. McDonald
• 28:53
  Speaker 26: moved from Scotland, spent some time in Ireland, and came
• 28:57
  Speaker 26: to the United States. But once he got here he
• 28:59
  Speaker 26: dropped the A and so my name became spelled mcdd
• 29:05
  Speaker 26: the man in the tent and I was ready to
• 29:07
  Speaker 26: buy this one hundred and twenty dollars McDonald plaid blanket.
• 29:10
  Speaker 26: But the man in the tent said, well, according to
• 29:13
  Speaker 26: you know, I can't do the accent. But he said,
• 29:14
  Speaker 26: according to history, the McDonald clan.
• 29:16
  Speaker 11: Was not very smart. Oh, and I said, oh, thank you.
• 29:21
  Speaker 11: I said, I'm going to cook you a beer.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: I'll think about the blank You must be a McDonald
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: yourself then, because you just blew a sale. Well they
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: did pretty good with a restaurant, but other than that, no,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: you know, so we might be well, you you and
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: my wife might be related because my my mother in
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: law is a MacDonald. Uh how about that?
• 29:42
  Speaker 26: Yeah, the blood, the blood is there. But anyway, I
• 29:45
  Speaker 26: will not celebrate today. I got too much going on.
• 29:47
  Speaker 26: So with all that being said, all right, NCAA playing tonight.
• 29:51
  Speaker 26: They don't call plan. They called first four the n
• 29:53
  Speaker 26: C two. I didn't want to shine on anybody. But
• 29:56
  Speaker 26: I'm going to take you through your A lot of
• 29:57
  Speaker 26: people will finish their brackets today, you know, trying to
• 30:00
  Speaker 26: figure out. All right, I'm gonna guide you just a
• 30:02
  Speaker 26: little bit now. So here's something to do. Begin with
• 30:06
  Speaker 26: a championship game and work backward. Okay, that consent, and
• 30:11
  Speaker 26: then become familiar with Ken Pomeroy That is known as
• 30:15
  Speaker 26: Ken Palm. He runs a database that goes back to
• 30:18
  Speaker 26: nineteen ninety seven. So twenty six of the last twenty
• 30:21
  Speaker 26: eight national champions have finished in the top twenty of
• 30:24
  Speaker 26: adjusted offense and defense.
• 30:26
  Speaker 11: Oh this, Oh my gosh, let me do yeah.
• 30:31
  Speaker 26: Yeah, here are the words you're gonna hear, like still
• 30:35
  Speaker 26: like all for the month of March. NET it stands
• 30:38
  Speaker 26: for NC double a evaluation tool.
• 30:43
  Speaker 11: Yeah I know.
• 30:44
  Speaker 26: It replaced RPI in twenty eighteen ranks. It ranks teams
• 30:49
  Speaker 26: on game results, strength of schedule, game location, scoring margin,
• 30:55
  Speaker 26: and net efficiency. So for all the people who say
• 30:58
  Speaker 26: college basketball sucks in November in December, well, when you
• 31:01
  Speaker 26: pull off an upset in Hawaii, it counts, Okay.
• 31:05
  Speaker 11: So then all right, shut it up.
• 31:08
  Speaker 26: The net is adjusted net efficiency net points per one
• 31:13
  Speaker 26: hundred possessions.
• 31:14
  Speaker 11: Okay, Hey, I guess thetter. I love the computer guys. Now,
• 31:17
  Speaker 11: then there's the quad one system.
• 31:20
  Speaker 26: I still think if you picked by mascots or team college,
• 31:22
  Speaker 26: you'll probably be good. Then there's the quad system one
• 31:25
  Speaker 26: through four, Q one home wins versus one, thirty, Neutral, one.
• 31:30
  Speaker 11: Through fifty, Road one through seventy five, and then you
• 31:33
  Speaker 11: go through the you know.
• 31:34
  Speaker 26: So, UVa's net, as an example, in mid February, was
• 31:39
  Speaker 26: in the top twenty. They finished with an overall ranking
• 31:43
  Speaker 26: of what was it?
• 31:44
  Speaker 11: Oh, I just had it.
• 31:45
  Speaker 26: I was just looking at I think it's twelfth. I
• 31:47
  Speaker 26: think their twelfth and nets. When they got a three seed,
• 31:49
  Speaker 26: everybody was questioning, oh, well wait a minute, Yeah, yeah, Virginia's.
• 31:54
  Speaker 11: Twelfth overall net.
• 31:55
  Speaker 26: Duke Michigan, Arizona floor to the top four, top four nets.
• 32:00
  Speaker 26: So the committee really relies on the net stuff. Okay, So,
• 32:04
  Speaker 26: but Uvia's net was thirty six three quad ones, and
• 32:11
  Speaker 26: then so on and so forth. Because I heard yesterday,
• 32:14
  Speaker 26: you know, questing, how to Virginia get a three seed?
• 32:16
  Speaker 11: What about Vanderbilt top for league? Blah blah blah blah
• 32:20
  Speaker 11: blah blah blah.
• 32:21
  Speaker 26: Okay, now I want a little history, a little history
• 32:24
  Speaker 26: lesson before I play this sound by foth Joelenardi.
• 32:28
  Speaker 11: Of course, bracketology. Well where did he come from? All right?
• 32:32
  Speaker 26: He was born in Philly. He attended Saint Joe's Prep
• 32:35
  Speaker 26: School in Philly and Damien High School in California, and
• 32:39
  Speaker 26: he graduated from Saint Joe's. He was the sports editor
• 32:42
  Speaker 26: for the campus newspaper. He built a reputation in the
• 32:46
  Speaker 26: Blue Ribbon College Basketball yearbook.
• 32:48
  Speaker 11: This was a big deal in the eighties.
• 32:49
  Speaker 26: It was started by a future Celtic's GM, Chris Wallace,
• 32:53
  Speaker 26: who now scouts for the Rockets. To launch this guy
• 32:56
  Speaker 26: to the tournament ninety five, his team needed to preview
• 32:59
  Speaker 26: the potential teams.
• 33:00
  Speaker 11: YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 33:00
  Speaker 26: So he got involved and he started to pick. You know,
• 33:04
  Speaker 26: the first edition where he evaluated one hundred teams, only
• 33:07
  Speaker 26: sixty four made the tournament.
• 33:09
  Speaker 11: Well, he made hey in eight when he hit all
• 33:14
  Speaker 11: sixty five teams. There were sixty five teams in two
• 33:16
  Speaker 11: thousand and eight. Don't ask me why, but that was
• 33:19
  Speaker 11: the screwy year of it.
• 33:20
  Speaker 26: And then this year, this year, he hit all sixty eight. Okay,
• 33:25
  Speaker 26: So if you want to know, and I'm going to
• 33:28
  Speaker 26: give you a little like insight into this is Joe
• 33:31
  Speaker 26: Lenardi who is you know, he hasn't been.
• 33:34
  Speaker 27: Wrong of that incredible Big twelve semi final, which many
• 33:39
  Speaker 27: called the game of the year. Arizona and Iowa State
• 33:42
  Speaker 27: they do it again, and they face Duke for the
• 33:45
  Speaker 27: national championship on that first Monday night in April, and
• 33:48
  Speaker 27: we're going to put him in all caps the first
• 33:52
  Speaker 27: time since nineteen ninety seven, and Loud Olson and most
• 33:56
  Speaker 27: Tats standing player Miles Simon your national champion the Arizona
• 34:00
  Speaker 27: a while.
• 34:00
  Speaker 26: All right, And so that's Leonardi filling out is I
• 34:03
  Speaker 26: saw this last night, filled out his bracket.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: So can we say, mister Thomas, yeah, can we do
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: you know, like, as a public service, can we set
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: up like a grinder profile for Jill Lonardi and get
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: him a date? It sounds like he needs to go
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: out on a Friday night.
• 34:19
  Speaker 26: He needs mister Lonardi probably needs a lot of stuff
• 34:22
  Speaker 26: because I think he just so is so absorbed in
• 34:25
  Speaker 26: this whole you know, bracket thing.
• 34:28
  Speaker 11: Mom, Yeah, here's something exactly. He's on a folding chair
• 34:32
  Speaker 11: in his basement, you know, posting things like who cares
• 34:35
  Speaker 11: all right?
• 34:36
  Speaker 26: Number twelve McNee stayed over number five Vanderbilt. That's a
• 34:39
  Speaker 26: forty one percent change. You want to pick a couple
• 34:41
  Speaker 26: episodes VCU to beat Carolina.
• 34:45
  Speaker 11: I love this, I love this pic.
• 34:47
  Speaker 26: VC was pretty good. I think Carolina, you know, Caleb
• 34:50
  Speaker 26: love I'm not sure. Number twelve high point over number
• 34:54
  Speaker 26: five Wisconsin at thirty five percent.
• 34:56
  Speaker 11: Number two high point can shoot it. They can score
• 35:00
  Speaker 11: Yeah with Lenardi's pick at, you know, over Arizona.
• 35:04
  Speaker 26: So that's your that's the inside for your brackets. So
• 35:08
  Speaker 26: have fun today. And as Joe was just talking about
• 35:10
  Speaker 26: the n i T starts tonight, Liberty and George Mason,
• 35:13
  Speaker 26: I mentioned in the headlines that Virginia Tech and Mike
• 35:16
  Speaker 26: Young said, and I like how they and and look
• 35:19
  Speaker 26: I love Mike Young. I love Mike Young. Uh you
• 35:22
  Speaker 26: know we've we've connected. But he said, Roster Health, uh,
• 35:28
  Speaker 26: you know, Team Health, Roster rebuild. They wanted to focus
• 35:31
  Speaker 26: on recruiting whatever, and they just said, we're not going
• 35:33
  Speaker 26: to do the n I T but Navy will be away,
• 35:36
  Speaker 26: forced Daton'll meet Bradley, and ACC member cow will host.
• 35:40
  Speaker 11: The University of Illinois Chicago. I didn't want to leave
• 35:42
  Speaker 11: the n I T out, mister tummas a.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Follow up, so as we expand on this field, and
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: you know, the National Invitational Tournament is the older tournament, right,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: it was the biggie Yeah, it was Madison Square Garden
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: and it was the whole thing. And the NC double
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: A said we don't like this is too arbitrary. We're
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: gonna do it ourselves. And so then the NC double
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: A sort of takes over the NIT and they run
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: it now themselves instead of this first four nonsense. Hold
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: the NIT at the beginning of March, like, finish up
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: your conference championships the first week of March. Then the
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: second week of March, have the National Invitational Tournament, sixteen
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: teams whatever championship game makes Yeah, championship game at Madison
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Square Garden. The winner gets a bid to the NC
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: double A tournament.
• 36:38
  Speaker 26: Okay, perfect, you're the guy that wants just like me
• 36:41
  Speaker 26: wants sixteen college football teams in the CFP.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, but I mean, you know, if you're then
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: if you're Virginia Tech or somebody like that, you're like,
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: you know what, Okay, so there's some skin in the
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: game here.
• 36:52
  Speaker 11: Yeah, you know exactly, you want something to do. It's
• 36:54
  Speaker 11: just like Terry Hollinson play every bowl game in August.
• 36:57
  Speaker 11: That to me makes more sense than anything in the
• 36:59
  Speaker 11: world because you're you're O and O and that's what
• 37:02
  Speaker 11: you know.
• 37:02
  Speaker 26: You're You've got a great chance to So anyway, I

• 37:11
  Speaker 26: Will Wade continues, He's just a smart He's just a smart,

  Speaker 26: three letter okay smart. But by the way, the NIT
• 37:18
  Speaker 26: is now termed the Nobody Interested Tournament. By the way,
• 37:21
  Speaker 26: for all of you sit around the coffee shop. But

• 38:13
  Speaker 17: for most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case.
• 38:16
  Speaker 17: Why because most people spend more time planning next weekends
• 38:20
  Speaker 17: getaway than trying to ensure they're going to pay less

• 39:09
  Speaker 24: actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 24: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 24: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.

  Speaker 24: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 39:33
  Speaker 24: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this

• 43:56
  Speaker 6: It's on.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: We didn't make talk radio, we made it better. First
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the TUNK Media Network.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: You know, it has been my contention for some time
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: that we are not facing the beginnings of a new
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Civil war. We're actually facing the conflagration, the reignition of
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: the last one. We thought it was put out in appomatics.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: We thought it was put out. No, there were embers there,
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: and just like a wildfire on the side of a hillside,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: when the wind picks up, it's going to recatch. And
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: now we know why they wanted to take down all
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: those Civil War memorials, because they knew that it was
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: coming back, and they didn't want us to have reference points. Sorry,
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: not playing that game. And one of the points of
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: order after the Civil War was the nineteen twenty nine
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: Permanent Reapportionment Act, which was passed by the Dixiecrats who
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: were afraid of the growing prosperity in the black community.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: This is, of course, before they were able to tear
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: it all up in Oklahoma City, and so they said,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: we need to stop this or we're going to have
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: too many prosperous black communities with Congress people if we
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: don't cap the size of Congress. And ever since then
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: we've been in this redistricting nightmare and joining us to
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: get into how all of these states doing all of
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: this redistricting, whether it's Maryland or California, and you know,
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: even the court ordered Texas one. And certainly the hypocrisy
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: of the Democrats in Florida saying ron Desandis can't violate
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: the Florida constitution, but then the Democrats in Virginia saying,
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: what constitution, We're going to do what we want anyway.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: Is Melanie Collette from the Amazing group Project twenty one
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: out of the National Center for Public Policy. How are
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: you doing, Melanie. It's good to catch up with you.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: How are you doing this morning?
• 46:28
  Speaker 22: Oh well, how are you?
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 46:30
  Speaker 11: Fired up?
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: You know, it's just it never seems like we have
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: enough water in the fire hose to put it out.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: But you know, I want to begin with that, you know,
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: because I look at some of the players, and I
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: look at some of the way they're treating permanent underclasses
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: of people coming across the border. I listened to to
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: take Jake, the mayor of Minneapolis, talk about how he's
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: just protecting his residents that work as a builas and
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: bus boys in their restaurants, and I'm thinking, this is
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: the same. You know, these are the servants of a
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: new generation and uh. And it's the same rhetoric they
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: were saying about not ending slavery in the eighteen hundreds
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: is you know, well, well, who's gonna who's gonna work
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: our farms? If if you free the slaves?
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: Am I wrong? Am I overstating it? Am I being
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: too salacious to say that about this this battle we're
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: facing with redistricting and.
• 47:28
  Speaker 11: Voter I d no, No, I don't.
• 47:31
  Speaker 22: I don't think you are saying that incorrectly at all
• 47:36
  Speaker 22: or even exaggerating. But the part, the part that continues
• 47:40
  Speaker 22: to blow my mind about the redistricting debate, if you will, uh,
• 47:48
  Speaker 22: is the number of black folks that absolutely say the
• 47:53
  Speaker 22: same thing you just said, Well, you know, who are
• 47:57
  Speaker 22: we gonna uh? Used to work the farms and you know,
• 48:02
  Speaker 22: clean the rooms and all that stuff. Like it's one
• 48:06
  Speaker 22: thing for racist white people to say that.
• 48:08
  Speaker 9: I'm kind of used to that.
• 48:11
  Speaker 22: It's an entire other thing when you see black people
• 48:15
  Speaker 22: co signing that message. Now I understand it. Black liberals
• 48:19
  Speaker 22: have that same argument. This is radio so well, I'm
• 48:23
  Speaker 22: from Project twenty one, so they may realize that I'm black.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: Your audience may know that, but you're smart. That's all
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: I care about your smart.
• 48:31
  Speaker 22: Appreciate you. But what I'm saying is, you know, as
• 48:36
  Speaker 22: someone who has melanated, that argument is particularly disturbing because
• 48:41
  Speaker 22: now you are taking something that happened to you know,
• 48:45
  Speaker 22: us as a race and trying to visit that upon
• 48:50
  Speaker 22: another quote unquote lesser race. You're co signing doing doing that,
• 48:57
  Speaker 22: and it's patently wrong. I actually had a debate on
• 49:00
  Speaker 22: TV not too long ago with another melanated woman who
• 49:05
  Speaker 22: was on the left, and she said that very thing,
• 49:08
  Speaker 22: and I absolutely scorched her because I was, like, I said,
• 49:11
  Speaker 22: why would why am I sitting here looking at another
• 49:14
  Speaker 22: melanated woman cosigning the indentured servitude of other people of color?
• 49:20
  Speaker 22: Make that make sense for me?
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: And she goes like now, and she couldn't, of course.
• 49:27
  Speaker 22: Not like, so now you're on to come up, right,
• 49:30
  Speaker 22: black folks are doing well in this country, which they
• 49:32
  Speaker 22: also won't admit, right, they refused that, right, So now,
• 49:37
  Speaker 22: but you want to keep your indentured servants in a
• 49:41
  Speaker 22: form of people who are here illegally, who are at
• 49:44
  Speaker 22: a disadvantage. It's it's morally wrong, it's constitutionally wrong.
• 49:48
  Speaker 26: It's legally wrong.
• 49:50
  Speaker 22: It is just simply wrong.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: It's it's amazing to me as I watched the debate
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: over the Save Act and I listened to white men
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: say that it's ra to ask somebody to prove they're
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: a citizen of a country that they're that they live in,
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: and they use phrases they like to call residency and
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: things just to obscure the fact that we're talking about
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: people who don't know the laws, don't know their rights.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: And this is a part of the civil rights issue
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: over open borders that I think has missed. I mean,
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: we're opening the door to people who don't understand what
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: their rights are because the countries they came from haven't
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: committed themselves to that over there. As doctor King once said,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: so they come in here thinking, well, you know the guy,
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: the guy tells me what to do, when I do
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: it for him, whether it's actually something he has any
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: right to be forced to do or not.
• 50:43
  Speaker 22: That's exactly right. That's right for sure, And doctor King
• 50:47
  Speaker 22: is a very good reference on that as well.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 50:50
  Speaker 22: But that's one hundred percent correct. And listen, the left
• 50:57
  Speaker 22: side of the aisle has been redistricting for years and
• 51:01
  Speaker 22: Republicans really didn't respond to that very well. So you
• 51:05
  Speaker 22: now have a president who's like, you know, we're gonna
• 51:08
  Speaker 22: fight fire with fire, and we should redistrict as well.
• 51:11
  Speaker 22: I think at the end of the day, we win
• 51:13
  Speaker 22: the redistricting fight. But also, you know, and there's a
• 51:18
  Speaker 22: few things that are up in the air, like, for example,
• 51:20
  Speaker 22: in Virginia, they have to vote on whether or not
• 51:22
  Speaker 22: they're going to even allow them to redistrict. And of
• 51:25
  Speaker 22: course the mantra or i should say, narrative that they're
• 51:30
  Speaker 22: using us basically, well, it's different now, Like I know,
• 51:34
  Speaker 22: we said this wasn't a good idea before, but it's
• 51:36
  Speaker 22: different now because Trump is doing it. Yeah, and you
• 51:40
  Speaker 22: know that's not even how moral lines work, you know
• 51:45
  Speaker 22: what I mean, that's not it's not how it works.
• 51:49
  Speaker 22: Like really, if you're going to take that kind of
• 51:50
  Speaker 22: moral stance, so to speak, then the moral stances, the
• 51:54
  Speaker 22: moral stances are supposed to let the loader take care
• 51:55
  Speaker 22: of it. But here what we are doing is a
• 52:00
  Speaker 22: white fire with fire, and well it's not wrong because
• 52:03
  Speaker 22: we have to beat the Republicans and that's just not
• 52:06
  Speaker 22: how it is supposed to work. Like I said, I
• 52:08
  Speaker 22: think at the end of the day with the numbers
• 52:11
  Speaker 22: that maybe we beat them at that game. But I
• 52:14
  Speaker 22: also think when you look at Congress and people like
• 52:18
  Speaker 22: Tom Massey and.
• 52:21
  Speaker 26: What's the sixth name.
• 52:22
  Speaker 22: Out of Alaska, Lukowski Rakowski out of Alaska, like those
• 52:28
  Speaker 22: of those aren't guaranteed just because those n R behind
• 52:31
  Speaker 22: your names.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, interesting right.
• 52:34
  Speaker 22: So I think that both sides of the aisle are
• 52:37
  Speaker 22: playing a really dangerous game with redistricting.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: And very melody co is on with this Nationalcenter dot
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: org and of course Project twenty one is the Black
• 52:48
