  Speaker 7: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to you.
• 0:39
  Speaker 6: I want to be Joe.
• 0:44
  Speaker 7: Three four eight eight two four two one seven. That
• 0:47
  Speaker 7: is the multitasking phone line. You can use to text message,
• 0:53
  Speaker 7: which is by far the most popular way to contact
• 0:57
  Speaker 7: the program, or you can call into it if you
• 0:59
  Speaker 7: have time. But I know how mornings are. They are
• 1:02
  Speaker 7: an existential celebration. Let's call it just be positive. Call
• 1:07
  Speaker 7: it a celebration of all the things that you've put
• 1:09
  Speaker 7: off to the last minute. This is the suppository of
• 1:13
  Speaker 7: all last minutes, regardless of whether it's daylight saving time
• 1:18
  Speaker 7: or not. Tina asks at four three four eight eight
• 1:23
  Speaker 7: two four two one seven. Why do anyone even care
• 1:28
  Speaker 7: if the clock changes? Just change it? I again, we
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: do what we do. But isn't it the Socratic method
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: to say, why do we change the clock? And it
• 1:41
  Speaker 7: really has to do And I love the way they
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: blame farmers for this. Everybody always at ted Cruz. Everyone
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: always blames the farmers for it. But it was actually
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: the exchanges that sold the stuff for the farmers that
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: wanted a consistent you know time, because farmers needed to
• 1:59
  Speaker 7: do things, you know, by the sun, which is fair,
• 2:03
  Speaker 7: not grousing about that. But then the mercantile exchanges said, well,
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: we need a way for them to be able to
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: do this and not miss out on the sun, and
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: blah blah blah blah blah. So here come the sun
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: and you watch out for the Triple A. I love
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: my friends at Triple A. We've got some dear friends
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: who worked with Triple A and their trip ticks and
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: everything else. They've made it digital, they've adapted. But they
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: released all these stories about drowsy driving that they fall
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: into this category. And it's scare mongering a little bit,
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: because if you if you're an hour sleep deprived, okay,
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: you're you're not one hundred percent, but you're not dangerous
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: on the road. And the statistics they have are regarding
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: people who have only slept two hours Now, if you've
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: only slept two hours and you're getting behind the wheel,
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: that's a different matter. But that's not daylight savings times.
• 3:02

  Speaker 15: Exercise is hard, so is maintained a healthy diet. Of course,

• 10:08
  Speaker 15: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.

  Speaker 15: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a

  Speaker 15: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle

• 13:11
  Speaker 24: Quickly hundred to do list. Putting the radio on is
• 13:14
  Speaker 24: the first thing today.
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: this morning. Four three four eighty two four two one seven.
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: Coming up an expose blowing up the left narrative that
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: the rich don't pay their fair share of taxes there.
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: But first, someone A lot of folks are reacting. Uh,
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: this one, Louise writes in to the text message line
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: four three four eighty two four two one seven. Listening
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: Uh in Saint Augustine wfl y, she said, Nazi, Nazi everywhere?
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: It's Nazi this morning? What is going on? Okay, you
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: watched Nuremberg. Not everything is a Nazi. Then you have
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: to bring up Hitler and the Muslims stop blaming stuff
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: on the Germans. I see that's the difference. I didn't
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: the Nationals. I faced down Nazis here in our flagship
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: city in twenty seventeen. I mean, there's only like two
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: dozen of them, but it looked like a huge riot
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: because they catfished, just like the leftists in Virginia have
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: become very good at doing. Hey, maybe there's a connection there,
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: because the Nazis and Charlottesville catfished all my listeners into
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: showing up at a rally they thought was about free
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: speech and civil war monuments, but it wasn't. It was
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: about blood and soil. And they should have, you know,
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: And I warned them. I did because I smell a
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: rat running around in there. I was there though, covering
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: the events I've seen American Nazat Nazi and German. It's
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: like the scene from the movie Nuremberg, the punchline. You
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: had to have to wait almost three hours into the
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: movie to get to this scene.
• 15:00
  Speaker 25: I have to be honest, doctor Kelly, I find some
• 15:02
  Speaker 25: of the conclusions in your book quite unbelievable. You were
• 15:06
  Speaker 25: dealing with the Nazis, who you must admit are unique people.
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: They're not.
• 15:11
  Speaker 9: They're unique people.
• 15:12
  Speaker 26: There are people like the Nazis in every country in
• 15:16
  Speaker 26: the world today, Latin America as in America. The personality
• 15:21
  Speaker 26: patterns are not obscure.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: There are people who want to be in power.
• 15:26
  Speaker 9: And while you.
• 15:27
  Speaker 26: Say they don't exist here, I would say I'm quite
• 15:29
  Speaker 26: certain there are people in America who would willingly climb
• 15:33
  Speaker 26: over the corpses of happy American public if they knew
• 15:36
  Speaker 26: they could gain control of the other half.
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: Doctor, Please, and you know and why you know? I
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: don't I knew where this movie was going from the
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: onset when I saw the promo clip of Russell Crow
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: saying he made us feel German again. I mean, I said,
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: what was the original draft of that? He said he
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: wanted to make Germany great again? But Naziism is not Germanism.
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: I watched a lot of these guys were out of
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: you know, a couple of them, the real hand puppets
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: of David Duke.
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: I mean, there were more.
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: Clansmen than they were Nazis. But the Klan and the
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: Nazis are not all that indistinguishable from one another. Brown shirts,
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: white sheets, you know, blood purity in the whole bit.
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: So yeah, the idea, I mean, the point he was
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: making it was the book twenty two Cells at Nuremberg
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: was the book Kelly wrote. And by the way, as
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: I said earlier, several folks chuckled over the idea that
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: couldn't we find somebody who looked more like a guy
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: named Kelly than Raymie Mallick, who did a fine job.
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: I mean, like I said, the movie was put together
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: kind of slow, really plotted a lot of the way through.
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: Still would prefer judgment at Nurnberg. If you've got to
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: watch a Neuremberg movie this week? And do we ever
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: find out if there is a radio station w E
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: m Z that's the radio station he's being interviewed by
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: a radio show when he's making that statement. No, we
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: can't find one. All right, Well, at least we know
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: we're not getting onto an affiliate that might.
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: Be carrying this program.
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: But who is it.
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: I will turn back on you in the Socratic method?
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: Who is it that despises other people in the American culture?
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: Who is it that wants to make sure nobody gets
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: a chance to speak from certain ideological points of view?
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: Who is it that practices cancel culture?
• 18:09
  Speaker 9: Who is it.
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: That lies in obfuse skates in order to get their
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: hands on the levers of power, and then, when there's
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: no recompense, governs completely differently than they campaigned for your
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: votes on which they still need to a degree, that
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: wants to dilute other people's votes. Who wants to divide
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: communities to get their own political ways?
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: Who is it?
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: Because they are there?
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: I mean, the point is not ill taken. I get
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: where the producers were coming from regarding this, and I
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: reject the premise because the very people they're pointing at
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: are you and me? But I will take their premise
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: and see them the reality of the fact that, yes,
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: but they're in their mirrors. The people they're talking about
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: at the end of this movie are the ones in
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: the mirrors shaving and brushing the teeth of the faces
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: of the people who put this movie together to make
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: you and me go, uh, I don't want to talk anymore.
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: It's the same reason they put together the presentations to
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: make you not want to speak out about voting rights
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: or make sure only US citizens get under voting roles.
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: You're a racist, You're a Nazi nationalist Socialist Party of Germany.
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: You know any socialists out there? Am I one of
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: the socialists?
• 19:54
  Speaker 25: No?
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: Now Here's how America can inoculate herself from Nazis, Because, yeah,
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: that belief that you are elite and more capable to
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: organize life for the majority of the unwashed masses is real.
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: You know how you inoculate the American culture from that?
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: James Madison and George Mason and Patrick Henry, God bless him,
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: they all did it. And we've allowed our elected officials
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: to ignore the rules, right, rules that allow them to
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: circumvent the rules establish precedents that allowed them to circumvent
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: the rules for the greater good or whatever that means.
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: And you know who they are and they ain't maga.
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: Does that mean that you know David Duke and his
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: minions in Charlottesville on twenty seventeen in August of twenty
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: seventeen didn't put make America Great Again? Hats on the
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: sure as Elle, Did you know why? Because the person
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: who most embodies a destruction of the power structure that
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: the Nazis of America need is Donald J. Trump. So
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: what better way to get rid of Donald J. Trump
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: than to make him look like a Nazi because we
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: generally have ill feelings towards that kind of mindset, except
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: when it dresses itself up in nice clothes and goes
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: around to university campuses and says, you know you're a
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: racist just because you're white. Ibramex Kendy is an American
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: Nazi and everyone who flounces around behind his anti racism
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: that's Nazi propaganda. So yeah, there really are and I
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: appreciate the email. There really are Nazis in America, It's
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: just not the people who they make in this movie.

• 24:09
  Speaker 25: actually three known gases. I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric oxide

• 24:33
  Speaker 25: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this

  Speaker 24: Uh.
• 29:11
  Speaker 29: Nick Saban opened up at the congressional hearings on Friday,
• 29:14
  Speaker 29: and I should have mentioned it on Friday, and I forgot.
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: You know, Trump and everything.
• 29:17
  Speaker 29: They're trying to fix college athletics, and you know, it's
• 29:21
  Speaker 29: one of those things where you get these huge committees.
• 29:24
  Speaker 29: You need like three people, Put three people in a room,
• 29:26
  Speaker 29: let them fix it instead of taking on one hundred
• 29:28
  Speaker 29: and twenty five people trying to make a decision on
• 29:30
  Speaker 29: what to do.
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: And it's a really really interesting stuff. Saban is just
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: the best.
• 29:35
  Speaker 29: I wish Saban would just rule college athletics. He does
• 29:38
  Speaker 29: need to be present, although it could be.
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: Well as the Council of Experts, I think we can
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: get eighty eight guys to make him eye a toll
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: of sports.
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: Exactly exactly so well.
• 29:48
  Speaker 29: Another guy who thinks he's God is uh is Dan
• 29:52
  Speaker 29: Hurley at the Yukon and now it's called the Hurley bump.
• 29:56
  Speaker 29: It's not a dance and it cost Yukon. I had
• 30:00
  Speaker 29: twenty five thousand dollars. Right, he's fifty three years old.
• 30:03
  Speaker 29: Fiery is ever Right. The coach of the Yukon Huskies
• 30:06
  Speaker 29: was ejected in the final second of fourth ranked Yukon's
• 30:09
  Speaker 29: lost to Shaka right and twelve and nineteen Marquette. They're
• 30:12
  Speaker 29: on a collision course now in the in the Big
• 30:15
  Speaker 29: East Tournament this week, Hurley unloaded a verbal burst on
• 30:18
  Speaker 29: official John Gaffney after there was no whistle against a
• 30:21
  Speaker 29: Marquette following against Marquette, following a silas to Mary's drive
• 30:25
  Speaker 29: to the hoop. The Husky's down sixty four to sixty
• 30:27
  Speaker 29: two and he didn't get the whistle.
• 30:29
  Speaker 9: He won it well.
• 30:30
  Speaker 29: Hurley yelled at Gaffney from behind and then circled a
• 30:34
  Speaker 29: little bit, leaned towards the official. I love the way
• 30:36
  Speaker 29: they penned this, and he said I didn't bump him.
• 30:39
  Speaker 29: I didn't bump anyway. He tried to explain it in
• 30:41
  Speaker 29: his press conference. Just perfect audio for this weekend.
• 30:44
  Speaker 30: And think I bumped the ref. I thought I got
• 30:46
  Speaker 30: close to like yelling at John. I'm at John thinks
• 30:48
  Speaker 30: I bumped them. Then he'll say I bumped them, But
• 30:51
  Speaker 30: I don't think that I bumped the official. I think
• 30:53
  Speaker 30: I yelled, you know, into you know, the back of
• 30:57
  Speaker 30: his head, foul, foul, And then yeah, I mean you're
• 31:00
  Speaker 30: you're listen the the officiating for us. You know, it
• 31:06
  Speaker 30: is what it is, you know, in this league. I'm
• 31:09
  Speaker 30: not going to comment, uh, you know on that.
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: Hey he did. Why do you think you're singled out?
• 31:16
  Speaker 9: Why do you think the officials are watching you?
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: Ever met?
• 31:18
  Speaker 29: You don't think the officials talk over a bear in
• 31:20
  Speaker 29: the hotel lobby. I have been in those meetings. I
• 31:23
  Speaker 29: have talked to officials about certain guys I like.
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: I like Dan Hurley's I like his practiced cadence.
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: There.
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: I almost wanted to quit smoking. He hypnotized me so
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: much there I was Gonnahoa, you're getting asleep.
• 31:36
  Speaker 29: He goes to a press conference and sounds like he's
• 31:39
  Speaker 29: off the eighteenth at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: Why does everyone think he's you know, I have at
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: least three friends that swear to me he went to duke.
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: It's maybe it's because he acts like a duke player.
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: But he know, yeah, and you got to you got
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: a feel for brother. I mean, how many other NCAA
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: basketball coaches are second fiddle to the women's team coach
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: at their school. I mean, so you got a feel
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: for brother a little bit.
• 32:10
  Speaker 9: And by the way Yukon played, they ripped.
• 32:13
  Speaker 29: They won one hundred to fifty one or something like
• 32:16
  Speaker 29: that the weekend, so they play.
• 32:17
  Speaker 9: They played tonight for the finals.
• 32:19
  Speaker 29: So all right, Well, the Ravens have maxed out a
• 32:22
  Speaker 29: great lead, great headline. How did Baltimore play moneyball? Well,
• 32:26
  Speaker 29: the trade won't prevent the organization from staying under the
• 32:28
  Speaker 29: salary cap, so and I won't get into all those
• 32:31
  Speaker 29: details because they normally make no sense. But Baltimore parted
• 32:36
  Speaker 29: ways with the number fourteen overall pick in April's NFL
• 32:39
  Speaker 29: Draft and first round pick in twenty twenty seven, and
• 32:42
  Speaker 29: Crosby signed a three year, one hundred and nine and
• 32:45
  Speaker 29: a half million dollar extension last March that made him
• 32:48
  Speaker 29: the highest paid pass rusher in the league.
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: Well he should be.
• 32:51
  Speaker 29: Now the Ravens will take on what is technically a
• 32:53
  Speaker 29: thirty five and a half million dollar hit. I don't understand,
• 32:57
  Speaker 29: but it affects their cap, and now their cap is
• 32:59
  Speaker 29: only of a ten million dollar issue. So again, if
• 33:03
  Speaker 29: you you'd have to put it on a white board
• 33:05
  Speaker 29: and let everybody explain it to me. I know what
• 33:07
  Speaker 29: they're trying to do, man, you know, and I can't.
• 33:10
  Speaker 29: I can't do Gruden. But according to uh and So,
• 33:13
  Speaker 29: Max stayed quiet. He didn't want to say anything for
• 33:16
  Speaker 29: the longest time. You know, he loved the Raider, loved
• 33:19
  Speaker 29: Raider Nation, but he wanted to stay mom And then
• 33:21
  Speaker 29: when when it was time to speak, then he spoke.
• 33:24
  Speaker 31: I know a lot of people have had questions concerns,
• 33:27
  Speaker 31: especially over these last couple couple of weeks, in a
• 33:30
  Speaker 31: couple of months. You know, I decided to be quiet.
• 33:33
  Speaker 31: There's so much noise. Ultimately, I'm a football player. That's
• 33:36
  Speaker 31: my job. It's to get healthy, to be the best
• 33:39
  Speaker 31: version of myself, not to be in the drama, not
• 33:42
  Speaker 31: to be involved with all the other stuff. And I've
• 33:44
  Speaker 31: learned from my mistakes in the past.
• 33:46
  Speaker 29: You know, who should be attorney attorney general. I mean,
• 33:49
  Speaker 29: that's somebody who should be in charge of our armed force.
• 33:52
  Speaker 9: Us right there.
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: We should have we should have washed him through the
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: cliche detector.
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: Though, yes, I the bell.
• 33:59
  Speaker 29: We could have, we could have anyway, five consecutive Pro
• 34:02
  Speaker 29: Bowl No.
• 34:03
  Speaker 9: Sixty nine and a half career sacks. He has had.
• 34:06
  Speaker 29: Double digit sacks in three of his last four years
• 34:09
  Speaker 29: and has just been has just been outstanding. So anyway,
• 34:12
  Speaker 29: I want to just take a couple of minutes, and Joe,
• 34:15
  Speaker 29: I appreciate it because you saw my Facebook post. A
• 34:18
  Speaker 29: very very good friend of mine and a guy that
• 34:20
  Speaker 29: I actually hired. And I'm not patting myself on the back,
• 34:23
  Speaker 29: don't get me wrong. In nineteen ninety I was hired
• 34:27
  Speaker 29: by Wake Forest and ended up working for just some
• 34:31
  Speaker 29: great people. Gene Hooks was the athletic director at the time.
• 34:34
  Speaker 29: Gene Overbee was a long time play by play guy
• 34:36
  Speaker 29: at Wake.
• 34:37
  Speaker 9: He died of cancer.
• 34:38
  Speaker 29: They had hired Wake had hired John Frickey for one year,
• 34:40
  Speaker 29: but he was a TV guy, didn't know anything really
• 34:42
  Speaker 29: about radio play by play, and I was blessed, blessed
• 34:46
  Speaker 29: to work six years with Dave Otum, Rickey, Stokes, Rodney Rogers,
• 34:49
  Speaker 29: who Wake just had a ceremony for on Saturday. Rodney
• 34:53

  Speaker 29: years in the na FELL but with Tim Duncan and
• 35:03
  Speaker 29: just a lot of really really you know, fun players
• 35:05
  Speaker 29: and whatever. But Mark Fridinger was my color man for
• 35:10
  Speaker 29: the six years that I was there before I came
• 35:12
  Speaker 29: back to Virginia. Mark Fridinger was a coach with Larry
• 35:15
  Speaker 29: Brown at Kansas.
• 35:16
  Speaker 9: He coached Danny Manning. He's a Rollins Hall of Famer.
• 35:21
  Speaker 9: He just loved baseball.

  Speaker 29: San Antonio Spurs and.

  Speaker 9: Popovich absolutely coach.
• 35:30
  Speaker 29: Popovich loved love, Love Dinger and his nickname, you know,
• 35:34
  Speaker 29: was Dinger, and Mark was so he just had a
• 35:38
  Speaker 29: big laugh, a big heart, loved the game so much
• 35:42
  Speaker 29: and loved the fact that he had a chance to
• 35:44
  Speaker 29: do radio.
• 35:45
  Speaker 9: He loved being a good analyst. He wanted to be
• 35:49
  Speaker 9: a good analyst.
• 35:50
  Speaker 29: I'm still still searching for this sound bite that was
• 35:52
  Speaker 29: one of the most special ones ever when Rodney at
• 35:55
  Speaker 29: the ACC Tournament in Charlotte. Rodney exploded off a missed
• 35:59
  Speaker 29: free throw and just he came with one hand and
• 36:02
  Speaker 29: threw down a dunk that stunned the entire coliseum. And
• 36:06
  Speaker 29: I'm still looking for the call because it was one
• 36:08
  Speaker 29: of Dinger's best calls ever. Anyway, my phone lit up
• 36:12
  Speaker 29: yesterday with all the people that in and around the
• 36:15
  Speaker 29: acc who remembered you know, he he stepped down a
• 36:17
  Speaker 29: couple of years ago and retired at the age of
• 36:20
  Speaker 29: thirty five. Dinger was going through some you know, health
• 36:22
  Speaker 29: issues and just a beautiful family and and uh cow,
• 36:27
  Speaker 29: it's just when I I mean I stopped for I
• 36:29
  Speaker 29: stopped everything I was doing yesterday for like thirty minutes
• 36:31
  Speaker 29: and just you know, went outside and sat and stared
• 36:34
  Speaker 29: at the sky because uh Dinger was Uh Dinger was
• 36:37
  Speaker 29: one of my just closest friends and and uh and
• 36:40
  Speaker 29: then you you know, when we get an age, uh
• 36:43

  Speaker 29: and not keeping in touch. I mean, I got a
• 36:49
  Speaker 29: couple of people now that you know, I keep in

• 36:59
  Speaker 29: Uh salute Mark frighting Er, thank you for giving me

  Speaker 18: According to a new report from Discovery Education, ninety two
• 38:05
  Speaker 18: percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
• 38:08
  Speaker 18: and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
• 38:11
  Speaker 18: critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
• 38:15
  Speaker 18: but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
• 38:19
  Speaker 18: student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
• 38:22
  Speaker 18: students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
• 38:26
  Speaker 18: forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
• 38:29
  Speaker 18: principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
• 38:33
  Speaker 18: the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 18: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  Speaker 18: while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
• 38:45
  Speaker 18: assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
• 38:49
  Speaker 18: students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
• 38:52

  Speaker 7: leave it open to you at four three four eight
• 44:48
  Speaker 7: eight two four two one seven And for a moment here,
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: I want to debunk myths. One of the great researchers
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: I know, and you know it's been hard pressed and
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: it's been done by many, many folks who have done
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: what they can to find the bottoms of a lot
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: of things, and Socratic method has come up a lot
• 45:12
  Speaker 7: this morning. And one of the folks who does this
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: better than anyone I know is John Suttz. And John
• 45:20
  Speaker 7: has done some amazing research on one of those one
• 45:24
  Speaker 7: of those tropes that just gets under your skin and
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: irritates you. And we finally have weaponry to blow up
• 45:32
  Speaker 7: the myth that wealthy people are the bane of society
• 45:36
  Speaker 7: and they're just milking us for all our money and
• 45:40
  Speaker 7: laughing all the way to the bank. John, Good morning, sir.
• 45:42
  Speaker 7: How are you doing today?
• 45:44
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Joe. I'm doing well. Thanks for having me out.
• 45:47
  Speaker 7: I mean not to say that somebody might not be
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: caught laughing at the bank, but I don't think it's
• 45:52
  Speaker 7: the intent of their talk about the research you did
• 45:56
  Speaker 7: into wealthy people and the taxes that they pay into
• 46:01
  Speaker 7: the American government system.
• 46:06
  Speaker 33: Well, you and I are of an earlier generation where
• 46:10
  Speaker 33: in general, in school, if we hear a claim being made,
• 46:15
  Speaker 33: someone's going to say, well, what's the source for that?
• 46:18
  Speaker 33: Where are you getting that? But younger generations have not
• 46:22
  Speaker 33: been taught that, and they often don't have that skill.
• 46:26
  Speaker 8: So what they've been taught.
• 46:27
  Speaker 33: In essence, and along with a lot of other people
• 46:30
  Speaker 33: who just harbor great resentment towards America free market capitalism,
• 46:36
  Speaker 33: et cetera, is that the wealthy don't pay their fair share.
• 46:42
  Speaker 33: The wealthy pay a lower tax rate than the average American.
• 46:47
  Speaker 33: And this is a claim, word for word that has
• 46:51
  Speaker 33: been made by everyone from the Washington Post, CBS News,
• 46:55
  Speaker 33: Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, AOC, Joe Biden's, etc. This is
• 47:01
  Speaker 33: not some crank conspiracy. They are indicting the entire US
• 47:06
  Speaker 33: tax code and the entire US government by claiming that
• 47:11
  Speaker 33: our system of government is rigged to take money from
• 47:15
  Speaker 33: the poor and middle class to subsidize the ultra wealthy
• 47:21
  Speaker 33: lifestyles of the super rich. It is a complete lie.
• 47:26
  Speaker 33: It is based on absolutely no provable facts. And I
• 47:33
  Speaker 33: got so fed up with it that I submitted an
• 47:36
  Speaker 33: unsolicited proposal to a free market thing tank in DC
• 47:41
  Speaker 33: to look into it. And if the facts that I
• 47:44
  Speaker 33: uncover proved to be what I suspect they are, then
• 47:48
  Speaker 33: I would produce a short infographic report that consolidates those
• 47:53
  Speaker 33: facts into a format that the average nine year old
• 47:56
  Speaker 33: could understand.
• 47:57
  Speaker 7: And that's where we are today. It published yesterday, this
• 48:02
  Speaker 7: infographic report blowing this up, and it's something you know
• 48:06
  Speaker 7: as soon as it came out of the mouth of
• 48:07
  Speaker 7: Focahontas and Kirby your enthusiasm, Bernie Sanders, you know, you
• 48:15
  Speaker 7: just know patently it's not true. But there was no evidence.
• 48:20
  Speaker 7: There was like, oh, prove it. This is what the
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: left loves to do. John, They're oh, well, prove that
• 48:24
  Speaker 7: it's happening. So you have, So what did you find
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: as you started to dig into this, Well.
• 48:31
  Speaker 33: I would preface it by saying that the one thing
• 48:34
  Speaker 33: that I discovered along my research is is that many
• 48:38
  Speaker 33: conservatives think that, you know, writing an article that appears
• 48:41
  Speaker 33: in a conservative journal or doing a one minute, forty
• 48:45
  Speaker 33: three second segment on Fox News is fighting back. But
• 48:50
  Speaker 33: it's not fighting back because main street America generally does
• 48:53
  Speaker 33: not see any of that.
• 48:55
  Speaker 8: So what I created is the resource that will hopefully
• 48:58
  Speaker 8: travel among honest Americas. And what I found.
• 49:01
  Speaker 34: Is is that the issue again is well, the specific
• 49:06
  Speaker 34: issue I focused on is the claim that billionaires pay
• 49:10
  Speaker 34: a lower tax rate than the average American.
• 49:13
  Speaker 33: So here are the facts. There are two types of
• 49:16
  Speaker 33: taxes that working Americans pay. There's the income taxes, and
• 49:21
  Speaker 33: then there's the payroll taxes, the payroll tax of being,
• 49:24
  Speaker 33: social Security, and Medicare. On the income side, the billionaire
• 49:30
  Speaker 33: the super wealthy pay roughly a three times higher tax
• 49:35
  Speaker 33: rate than the average American who's defined as a single
• 49:40
  Speaker 33: forty two thousand dollars a year salary person with no
• 49:44
  Speaker 33: special deductions or anything, just a regular working person. But
• 49:48
  Speaker 33: when it comes to the actual cash that they pay
• 49:51
  Speaker 33: at the end of the year is a proportion of
• 49:54
  Speaker 33: the money that they take in, the top one percent
• 49:57
  Speaker 33: roughly pay in more than four times as the what's
• 50:01
  Speaker 33: called the effective tax.
• 50:03
  Speaker 8: Rate than the average American.
• 50:05
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 50:06
  Speaker 33: Then when you get to the total amount of income
• 50:09
  Speaker 33: taxes paid as a proportion of all income tax received
• 50:13
  Speaker 33: by the Treasury, the top one percent receive twenty two
• 50:19
  Speaker 33: point four percent of all income, but they pay in
• 50:23
  Speaker 33: forty point four percent of all income taxes.
• 50:27
  Speaker 8: The top ten powice the top.
• 50:30
  Speaker 33: The top ten percent receive forty nine point four percent
• 50:34
  Speaker 33: of all income, but they pay seventy two percent of.
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: All income taxes.
• 50:40
  Speaker 33: The bottom thirty percent, the lowest fifty percent of wage earners,
• 50:45
  Speaker 33: pay a total of three percent of all income taxes,
• 50:49
  Speaker 33: but forty percent of them, four to ten of the
• 50:53
  Speaker 33: lowest fifty percent pay no income taxes at all.
• 50:58
  Speaker 8: This is the reality. Yeah, this is the reality.
• 51:02
  Speaker 33: And yet no one has shoved this in the face
• 51:04
  Speaker 33: of AOC Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, The Washington Post, CBS News.
• 51:10
  Speaker 33: But now there are three infographics that explain it in
• 51:14
  Speaker 33: a very clear form, and it's all backed up by
• 51:18
  Speaker 33: a resource page that's linked at the lower left of
• 51:21
  Speaker 33: these resource of these graphics, so that anyone can go
• 51:24
  Speaker 33: see the evidence for themselves.
• 51:26
  Speaker 7: Well, that's the most important thing about everything you have
• 51:28
  Speaker 7: ever done, John, is that it's all backed up, cross referenced,
• 51:34
  Speaker 7: double source, triple source. Whatever you know, especially the more
• 51:37
  Speaker 7: controversial things that you've investigated, has definitely fallen under the
• 51:43
  Speaker 7: you know, over resourced because you just want to make
• 51:49
  Speaker 7: sure that you're buttoned up on it. So when you
• 51:52
  Speaker 7: told me you had finish this, I wanted to share it.
• 51:55
  Speaker 7: We only have a minute before the news here, but
• 51:57
  Speaker 7: I want to get into this a little bit more.
• 51:59
  Speaker 7: But I need you to tell people where they can
• 52:02
  Speaker 7: find it.
• 52:04
  Speaker 33: Sure, the the easiest way for the introduction of this
