  Speaker 1: But the word of portability is a Democrat scam on
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: your to do list, putting the radio on is the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: first thing today. Jeord's that steal metamn have a day
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: at least for work. When the sun comes up, drops
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: a pet the Scooday, Joe has everything, a dream do
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: all the treasure needs no one that Joe's smile.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: He only as.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Joe.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: each morning. I want to be this year the radio
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: programming that will tell you what went on and will
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: tell you our analysis of it, for sure, and you
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: just trying to stop me player, but we also want
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: to hear how it's impacting you. Where you are at
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: four three four eight eight two four two one seven
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: is the President heads to Pennsylvania for his affordability tour.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: We've been kind of breaking down. One of the problems
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: with this is we didn't stop the Great Society before
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: it got out of the incubator.
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: And we've gone back to some of the things that
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: only one person, it seemed, had the ability. And I
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: was wrong. You're very very clear, uh, Jerry writes in
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: text message to four three four eight eight two four
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: two one seven. Don't be too hard on yourself. Joe.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: You don't have Milton Friedman writing your economic analysis for
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: you like Ronald Reagan did back in the day. Oh sure,
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: I mean he had Russell Kirk writing for him. He
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: had Can you imagine sitting in a room with Milton
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Friedman and Russell Kirk and how could you not? So
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: maybe not sixty four, but I really wish Reagan had
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: run in sixty eight instead of you know, Nixon. And
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: it's not because of the Watergate and all the other
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: stuff get into our first things. But Joel had a
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: thought on us while we were talking about the reality
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: of affordability, which is what does it cost to do something?
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: And it includes services? So you the thing about services
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: is you actually get to make your own rate cards.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: So I mean, Joel, you're a nurse, and I know
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: that it was very specified and it costs you quite
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: a bit to become a nurse. But you should, in
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: a free market be able to say, hey, here's what
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: I'm willing to do nursing services for in compensation. And
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: that's not where we are right now. And I think
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: that's part of what's killing affordability. Am I wrong? That's true?
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: And it depends on which state you live in. But
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: I wanted to say this. I don't know if this
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: will relate, but Matthew seven thirteen fourteen, enter through the
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: narrow gate. For why does the gate and broad as
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: the road that leads to destruction may enter through it
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: as small as the gate narrow the road that leads life,
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: and only few find it. And I think a lot
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: of people are thinking, hey, our economy is going to
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: get I know this doesn't probably relate parallel wise, but
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: the economy's got to be fixed within these ten or
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: eleven months.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Or our society's got to be fixed.
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: But I think as far as like what President Trump
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: is trying to do, he's trying to bring people together,
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: as far as it doesn't matter if you're a billionaire
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: or if you're a farmer, but he wants to put
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: real people in focus and show that what their hardships
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: are instead of just talking about it. I mean, you
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: used to be able to buy a refrigerator that it
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: lasts for fifty years. I mean it may not be
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: the best looking one after fifty years, but you can't
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: even buy a refrigerator it lasts maybe five years. And
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: he's trying to bring back reliability, and he's trying to
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: bring reliability back in America workers not workers that are
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: not workers that are imported and not that they're bad,
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: but courted to take away jobs, yep. To make things cheaper.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: And that's one of the things though we want inexpensive things,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: especially when our economy gets pear shaped, is we want
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: things to be affordable. And therefore one of those ways
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: is to ask people and then you run to that
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: point where you get to the tipping point, and then
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: not enough of us have jobs to buy the stuff
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: good stuff. Joel, thank you for the quote, and amen
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: to that. I appreciate it. Four three, four eight eight
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: two four to two one seven. Here go our first
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: things this morning, affordability to our Starting in Pennsylvania, President
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Trump touting the things like energy costs and gasoline costs
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: that have come down under his administration since the January
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: of this year. And I think part of it will
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: be reminding people that it has been ten months eleven
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: months since he took office. The President, also before heading
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: out on this said that the second strike of a
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: drug boat in the Caribbean was because the suspected drug
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: smugglers were trying to right the vessel after it capsized.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: The President said he would leave the decision as to
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: whether to release the footage with Secretary Pete Hegseith. Congress, however,
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: is said they're going to withhold one quarter of the
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Secretary's travel budget until they turn over the videos to
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Congressional leaders. New York City mayor elect Zorhan Mamdani has
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: chosen a formerly incarcerated rapper to serve in a city
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: hall transition team. They've appointed Mysone Lennen, forty nine of
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: the Organization Until Freedom, where he's one of the leaders.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Congresswoman Nancy Mace has taken a parting shot at Mike
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Johnson as she leaves to run for governor. She said
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: in an op ed to The New York Times, would
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: opening up the floor lead to more concernative bills passing
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: or more bipartisan ones? The honest answer is it would
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: do both, she wrote, regarding the speaker's control over what
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: bills get debated on the House floor. Federal judge Monday
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: ruled the administration has failed to justify its decision to
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: suspend issuing leases and permits for new wind projects. The
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: raccoon that made national headlines for breaking a bunch of
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: liquor bottles, getting drunk and passing out in a Virginia
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Liquor Stoes bathroom last weekend has turned into an internet sensation,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: and the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Commission has released a menu
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: of raccoon inspired cocktail recipes online, including the Rye Rascal Sour,

• 13:13
  Speaker 8: Absolutely amaze your friends here in first thing today by
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: Joe Thomas.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: You should have been smart enough to know what was
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: real because the idea of getting some business degree and
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: you know, making tons of money and one of the
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: things we failed, maybe the millennials, maybe the gen xers
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: really were failed under the narrative of I want you
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: to have a better than I had. And one of
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: the cons in that is is that there is no
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: such thing is a better life than your mom or
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: dad had. We all have struggles, we all have trials
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: and travails, and honestly, as my kids get to adulthood,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: part of it is I feel like they didn't know
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: how hard my wife and I worked to keep things
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: even keel that you know, maybe they should have known
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: a little bit more about what we were struggling, as
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Michelle Obama calls it to do. And they got a
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: little bit of it as they got older and they
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: got into their teens, they were aware. They you know,
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: that we didn't have a lot of money to go
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: do stuff all the time, and that was okay. We didn't,
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: you know, we may do like I said, Grandma bakes
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: is going to be been a whole different thing in
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: my house. When when my wife has she's just getting this.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: She's getting this big. Follow me on Facebook and you'll
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: find all the stuff she's been baking, sourdough, bagels, scones.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, we'll get this one twenty seven coffee and
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: you know, we could do it ourselves. Our buddy Steve
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: has a coffee shop. We could start providing him the
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: bake goods for it. It's very cool. So anyway, my buddy,
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Charlie Hurt, was in the company of the Chief Advisor
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: to the President's Affordability tour on Sunday, Jeff Van Drew
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: of New Jersey, and Jeff told Charlie, Oh, the call
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: went great.
• 15:33
  Speaker 22: It's always good to speak with the president, you know.
• 15:36
  Speaker 22: I guess it's going to be going on seven years
• 15:38
  Speaker 22: that I changed and became a Republican, and always since
• 15:41
  Speaker 22: that time he was great and we've developed a friendship.
• 15:45
  Speaker 22: I am so happy that he's going out there. He
• 15:48
  Speaker 22: is a president of the people. He loves working people.
• 15:51
  Speaker 22: Let me be clear, Washington, d C. Is not the
• 15:55
  Speaker 22: culture of America.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Is this the advice he was giving him? Reading reading
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: your political problem to.
• 16:02
  Speaker 17: Him, and there you get the job.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, I get it. He's running for real action
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: next year.
• 16:07
  Speaker 22: He's got to get out on the street and talk
• 16:09
  Speaker 22: to real people, the doctors, the pipe fitters, the iron workers.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: To talk to the real people. But I mean the
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: real people who have to afford this stuff. So well,
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: we all remember the we want to hear what your
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: advice was on how you know he's going to make
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: things more affordable.
• 16:26
  Speaker 22: I love to see him out there. He does so
• 16:28
  Speaker 22: well with that.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Okay, so that's five minutes on how you love to
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: see him out there? Jeff, what's he going to tell us?
• 16:33
  Speaker 22: See him in Pennsylvania a neighboring state to me in
• 16:36
  Speaker 22: New Jersey, And I'm really looking forward to seeing this.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: Is there like a template? Does Microsoft word have a
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: template to write these speeches off? Bok.
• 16:45
  Speaker 23: It's the most important thing that Republicans need to be
• 16:47
  Speaker 23: focused on right now to actually improve things.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: For And by the way, on YouTube, there's a little
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: bit of Charlie Hurt's early entrees into broadcast when he
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: and I and his brother Robert, who was an outgoing
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: congressman at the time, did what we called the Political
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Brothers from the twenty sixteen convention. And you know, and
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: Robert couldn't have been prouder for me to you know,
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: include Charlie into my broadcast. Now I can't get Charlie
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: to call me back anymore, but you know, he does
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: a good job for Fox, for for.
• 17:20
  Speaker 23: People who you know. Obviously we've got inflation down, but
• 17:24
  Speaker 23: the problem is you've got to catch up with salaries.
• 17:29
  Speaker 23: What can what do Republicans need to focus on.
• 17:33
  Speaker 22: Well, remember one thing, the Biden disaster, what he did
• 17:36
  Speaker 22: to this country.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: It must be it must be like a Microsoft word
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: template to write these speeches.
• 17:42
  Speaker 22: It's fix in next year.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: It's going to be amazing.
• 17:45
  Speaker 22: You know, no taxes on tips, or lower taxes on tips,
• 17:48
  Speaker 22: lower taxes on overtime. Eighty five percent of seniors not
• 17:51
  Speaker 22: paying any tax on Social Security. When you go and
• 17:54
  Speaker 22: buy a new American car, you're able to write off
• 17:58
  Speaker 22: on your taxes, the interest rate.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: All that is going to be here over fifty grand with.
• 18:02
  Speaker 22: Things we did with businesses. But here's what we must remember.
• 18:06
  Speaker 22: Don't argue with each other, stop being selfish. Make sure
• 18:10
  Speaker 22: that people understand we're with them. And healthcare, I've talked
• 18:14
  Speaker 22: about this before. We have to give people that bridge.
• 18:17
  Speaker 22: Obamacare is horrible, the ACA has been horrible and awful.
• 18:22
  Speaker 22: But if we're not able to immediately get rid of
• 18:25
  Speaker 22: it for a very short period of time, continue with
• 18:28
  Speaker 22: it while we come up with a much better comprehensive plan.
• 18:32
  Speaker 22: People cannot afford to have huge increases in their health care.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: That will be a mistake, you know, Okay, but the
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: reason their healthcare increased is because of Obamacare. You stop
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: guarantee ah, and you say, like Joe, come on, cheerlead, cheerlead,
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Come on, Joe. The President's going out there. He's going

• 19:10
  Speaker 4: of the Borsched Belt, which if you google it is

  Speaker 4: where all the New Yorkers used to go for the summers,
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: just mountain getaways full of these kind of Middle European
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: style chalet resorts, cabins. Dirty Dancing if if you've ever
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: seen the movie Dirty Dancing, that's the Borsched Belt, uh there?
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Or mister Saturday Night is another good one. If you
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: don't like the oh, okay, I won't do that anymore.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Mount Airy Lodge is one of the few surviving places
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: up there in the Poconos and the Catskills, and it's
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: survived because now they have gaming there. So people run
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: up there and they you know, get the beds with
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: the mirrors on the ceiling, and then and then they
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: go and pull the one arm bandit and they go
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: to the casino too. And President stop, you weren't supposed
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: to hear that. That was supposed to be But you
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: know this Van Drew, I mean, bless his heart for
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: switching from Democrat to Republican, but the style points are
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: the same. I get it. You're trying to run for reelection.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: I hope you paid Fox News some good money for that,
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: you know, free airtime. That's three minute commercial. That's got
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: to cost him a couple of hundred grand for that.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: And blessed Charlie Hurt, because Charlie Hurt was actually trying
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: to get back to Okay, how are we going to
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: make this more affordable? And it goes right back into
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: the pad answers of oh, the Affordable Care Act was
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: bad and the reason we need to subsidize the healthcare
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: insurance premiums is because we forced everyone onto Obamacare. Then
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: the Chinese Communist Party scientists said, hold it, we have
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: a bio weapon that could really screwed the American economy
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: if we let it loose on it allegedly and COVID
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: hit us, and all of a sudden, all the insurance
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: companies that we forced to ensure everyone in the United
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: States said, whoa, whoa, whoa. Everyone is going to the
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: hospital with this thing. Because the chiicoms realized tactically, you
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: don't have to you don't have to send tanks into
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Temin Square to have an assault from the child. This,
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: this wu flu was a bio weapon, asked doctor Malone.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: I'm going to have lunch with doctor Malone this next
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: week coming up. He'll tell you it was a bioweapon
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: used to fit under the Geneva convention, and it broke
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: us because we had already become addicted to Obamacare. That's
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: that's it, that's what you need to fix, and yeah,
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: it's gonna hurt. Hey.

• 22:39
  Speaker 24: typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 20: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
• 22:46

  Speaker 25: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
• 23:44
  Speaker 25: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for

• 24:09
  Speaker 26: actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
• 24:13

• 27:56
  Speaker 2: It's one.
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: For you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: It is time for our sports director, Mac McDonald, a
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: man who is never found himself sleeping on the floor
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: of an ABC store in Ashland, Virginia, but he is.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: He is our sports director, chronicle at all in his
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: notebook for us, brought to you by the Lunch Pale Foundation.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Helping kids win. That's what's important. Now ask anyone at
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: Virginia Tech. I'll tell you. And you know, we never
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: really explored my I told you so moment. But why
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: the whole Brent Pry getting hired back by Virginia Tech
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: and and his incoming you know, James Franklin.
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we'll have Bud.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: It's a good thing to you know, Bud. This week.
• 29:00
  Speaker 30: Well, we'll certainly discuss the In fact, I should probably
• 29:02
  Speaker 30: call Button and see what he's doing, maybe like tomorrow
• 29:05
  Speaker 30: or Thursday morning, and he can come on with us,
• 29:06
  Speaker 30: because I'm tired of talking about you know, because yesterday
• 29:09
  Speaker 30: was a major sports talk day, and with everything that happened,
• 29:13
  Speaker 30: I'm going to try to explain one of the metrics
• 29:15
  Speaker 30: that's so screwed up. And this just shows you how
• 29:18
  Speaker 30: ridiculous things are when you start to look and break down,
• 29:22
  Speaker 30: because you can create a case, just like any attorney,
• 29:24
  Speaker 30: you can create a case for who should be in,
• 29:26
  Speaker 30: who should be out Notre Dame versus Miami versus Bama.
• 29:31
  Speaker 30: That was the big, big discussion yesterday. I've got sound
• 29:34
  Speaker 30: today with Pete Bavaqua, who, as I told you yesterday,
• 29:37
  Speaker 30: is one of the smartest guys in sports bar none,
• 29:41
  Speaker 30: and he was on the Dan Patrick Show yesterday and
• 29:43
  Speaker 30: he has got a little He's not happy with the
• 29:46
  Speaker 30: acc twenty Notre Dame is twenty four sports that compete
• 29:50
  Speaker 30: with the ACC football, they have to play five components.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: Opponents.
• 29:55
  Speaker 30: Well, Bavaqua feels that the AEC did not support them
• 30:00
  Speaker 30: and just talked about Miami and how Miami should get in,
• 30:03
  Speaker 30: and he had he had some words for Jim Phillips,
• 30:05
  Speaker 30: the commissioner, even though Phillips said, look, we got to
• 30:07
  Speaker 30: support our seventeen football members. Anyway, it's all right, I'm
• 30:10
  Speaker 30: going to talk about this. I just want to bring
• 30:12
  Speaker 30: this to the table real quick. One of the screwed
• 30:16
  Speaker 30: up metrics that they use is called the FPI. It's
• 30:19
  Speaker 30: a football Power Index. Okay, so the top thirty five,
• 30:23
  Speaker 30: Miami had four, the Irish had one. However, when it
• 30:27
  Speaker 30: was all said and done, Notre Dame Finish's third in
• 30:30
  Speaker 30: the FPI. Miami was seventh. Now, let me tell you
• 30:33
  Speaker 30: about the FPI. It's all these all these different divisions, right.
• 30:37
  Speaker 30: It measures on field results, opponents, strength, talent, recruiting, and
• 30:41
  Speaker 30: even travel distance to generate rankings and projections games, bawls
• 30:45
  Speaker 30: and playoffs.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: That's an It's an ESPN.
• 30:48
  Speaker 30: Some nerd put this computer model together. Now, it has
• 30:51
  Speaker 30: a metric called beyond Talent. It emphasizes performance and adjusts
• 30:58
  Speaker 30: for things like rest and travel.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Oh man, So they're just making it up. They've come
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: up with a mathematical equation to say, we're just making
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: this up.
• 31:06
  Speaker 30: If they stay in a five star instead of a
• 31:08
  Speaker 30: four star, does that lower them in the FPI? I
• 31:10
  Speaker 30: mean so anyway, the Canes had to strength to schedule seventeen.
• 31:13
  Speaker 30: Notre Dame had thirteen. Miami beat Notre Dame, FSU and PITT.
• 31:18
  Speaker 30: All right, those are the three ranks. FSHU and Pitt
• 31:20
  Speaker 30: were wins on the road, good wins, Miami losses louis
• 31:23
  Speaker 30: Villeenholme and SMU. Notre Dame lost to number ten Miami
• 31:27
  Speaker 30: and number sixteen Texas A and M, and then reeled
• 31:29
  Speaker 30: off ten in a row by an average of thirty
• 31:31
  Speaker 30: three points per game. Again, you can look at all
• 31:34
  Speaker 30: the metrics and given the ten game winning streak, their
• 31:37
  Speaker 30: pair of one in three point losses to CFP teams,
• 31:41
  Speaker 30: it's fair to believe that Notre Dame is probably the
• 31:44
  Speaker 30: better team today than Miami. However, it just went back
• 31:48
  Speaker 30: to head to head. And so Petelevakua yesterday said a
• 31:53
  Speaker 30: lot of things. He said right now and he told
• 31:55
  Speaker 30: the committee, I have no answers.
• 31:57
  Speaker 31: You know, we and Miami were both six too. They
• 32:00
  Speaker 31: had obviously already beat us the first game of the year.
• 32:03
  Speaker 31: They were eighteenth. We were tenth. The only thing that
• 32:05
  Speaker 31: we did since that point was win every game by
• 32:08
  Speaker 31: over an average of over thirty points. And you know,
• 32:11
  Speaker 31: all of a sudden, we're eleventh and on the outside
• 32:13
  Speaker 31: looking in. And when we talked to our team, we
• 32:16
  Speaker 31: don't have any good answers for that, so we just
• 32:18
  Speaker 31: we're just really frustrated that we had the rug pulled
• 32:20
  Speaker 31: out from underneath us.
• 32:21
  Speaker 30: And by the way, it was the Dan Patrick Show
• 32:23
  Speaker 30: that had the interview. Okay, one other sound body I got.
• 32:26
  Speaker 30: I listened to this whole thing. But Vakua made a
• 32:30
  Speaker 30: great point on Dan Show yesterday. Rankings have got to
• 32:33
  Speaker 30: mean something.
• 32:34
  Speaker 31: We take this seriously, as do other universities, and you know,
• 32:39
  Speaker 31: the rankings can't just be musical chairs at some you know,
• 32:43
  Speaker 31: fifth grade birthday party. They have to mean something. And
• 32:46
  Speaker 31: to me, what happened to us really kind of was
• 32:51
  Speaker 31: alarming because he said, look, everybody was saying and all
• 32:54
  Speaker 31: during the rankings release parties on Tuesday nights and all
• 32:57
  Speaker 31: the things he goes, the Irish was being told you're
• 33:00
  Speaker 31: in good shape.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: You're in good shape. You're in good shape. Just keep
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: you know, playing whatever. So now we.
• 33:05
  Speaker 30: Get into this ACC squabble. So Bavakua said a lot
• 33:09
  Speaker 30: of things, and he was upset. Jim Phillips represented Miami.
• 33:13
  Speaker 30: He felt more, but Phillips said, look, we love everybody
• 33:18
  Speaker 30: in the ACC. We appreciate Miami's participation. However, Miami was
• 33:23
  Speaker 30: one of our seventeen playing football schools. So it's like
• 33:25
  Speaker 30: Jim Phillips says, hey, Notre Dame, we asked you a
• 33:28
  Speaker 30: couple of years ago to come into the ACC. And
• 33:30
  Speaker 30: I think the independence did hurt Notre Dame, and so
• 33:34
  Speaker 30: they're perceived as being on this perch that they don't
• 33:36
  Speaker 30: have to play in a conference. If Notre Dame was
• 33:38
  Speaker 30: in the ACC, it would have been no, they would
• 33:40
  Speaker 30: have been in a probably conference championship game.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: Sure won it.
• 33:43
  Speaker 30: And he and Vakua said the same thing I said
• 33:46
  Speaker 30: yesterday before I play this final bite. He said, this
• 33:50
  Speaker 30: crazy playoff thing needs to go to sixteen. You take
• 33:54
  Speaker 30: it to sixteen, then you got your your powerfil you know,
• 33:57
  Speaker 30: you can go power for.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: Group five and you.
• 34:01
  Speaker 30: Can go all these at large teams that you know
• 34:03
  Speaker 30: probably deserve to be in and more than likely you're
• 34:05
  Speaker 30: going to solve a lot of issues. Oh g really,
• 34:08
  Speaker 30: the SCS, I mean, the SCS has been doing this
• 34:11
  Speaker 30: for years. Division two and Division three have been doing
• 34:13
  Speaker 30: it for years. And maybe get rid of the chat
• 34:16
  Speaker 30: or oh my god, lose one game, play only eleven
• 34:20
  Speaker 30: instead of twelve where it is. Oh my god, really,
• 34:22
  Speaker 30: I mean college football teams now when the players, they're
• 34:24
  Speaker 30: gonna play seven, they're gonna play an NFL schedule. All right,
• 34:27
  Speaker 30: that's for another day, all right, Pete Vakua said yesterday,
• 34:31
  Speaker 30: and yes he was not happy with the Atlantic Coast Conference.
• 34:34
  Speaker 31: We have no no gripes about any of the schools
• 34:37
  Speaker 31: in the ACC, but we were mystified by the actions
• 34:41
  Speaker 31: of the conference to attack, you know, their biggest really
• 34:44
  Speaker 31: business partner in football and a member of their conference
• 34:48
  Speaker 31: in twenty four of our other sports. Wouldn't I wouldn't
• 34:52
  Speaker 31: be honest with you if I didn't say that they
• 34:54
  Speaker 31: have certainly done permanent damage to the relationship between the
• 34:57
  Speaker 31: conference in Notre Dame.
• 35:00
  Speaker 30: That uh he said, Yeah, Butvaukua told the damn the
• 35:03
  Speaker 30: relationship is strained.
• 35:05
  Speaker 28: Uh.
• 35:06
  Speaker 30: Butbaqua said the league had done and you just heard
• 35:08
  Speaker 30: a permanent damage in the relationship.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: So okay, I have to ask, I don't think Jim
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: Phillips can spend the winter.
• 35:14
  Speaker 30: I don't think I haven't worry about calling Pete Lebaccua go.
• 35:16
  Speaker 30: How about entrance into the ACC?
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: I have to ask, So what conference does he go into?
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: Is he Big twelve? Does Notre Dame join the Big twelve?
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Are they big being talked about?
• 35:27
  Speaker 30: Yeah, when a couple of years ago, when that was
• 35:29
  Speaker 30: all being talked about, I mean the Big ten, everybody
• 35:31
  Speaker 30: was making a case for their league.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: SEC.
• 35:34
  Speaker 30: Certainly no Big ten, you know, had had its parameters.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: And you look about Big twelve has got by us?
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: You should come and play the ACC schools.
• 35:43
  Speaker 30: I mean you probably dominate in the league for you know,
• 35:47
  Speaker 30: for so long. And so Alabama and then Alabama started
• 35:50
  Speaker 30: to falter. And the one thing about you know, they
• 35:53
  Speaker 30: lost to Oklahoma, they blew a seventeen point lead to Auburn,
• 35:57
  Speaker 30: uh and then one by a touchdown. Uncompared it even
• 36:00
  Speaker 30: the SEC championship against Georgia. But Bama's got the brand,
• 36:04
  Speaker 30: Bama's got the SEC.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: And so that's why, and that's why.
• 36:08
  Speaker 30: I hate this Petiti, who's the commissioner of the Big Ten.
• 36:11
  Speaker 30: That's why I hate this, the Petiti model. He thinks
• 36:14
  Speaker 30: the Big ten should get four every year. And that's why,
• 36:17
  Speaker 30: all right, if you go to sixteen, because he thinks
• 36:19
  Speaker 30: the SEC and the Big tenshould have four each, that's
• 36:21
  Speaker 30: eight of the you know, now you got eight. So
• 36:24
  Speaker 30: I mean, you know, we're gonna be talking about this
• 36:26
  Speaker 30: for a whole night before anything gets done and they
• 36:29
  Speaker 30: go to a sixteen team model. This I'm going to
• 36:32
  Speaker 30: predict they will not go to sixteen until twenty twenty eight.
• 36:35
  Speaker 30: You know, I think they're play this out there, try
• 36:38
  Speaker 30: to do it another year.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: And just as you know, is it's part of this
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: this parochial attachment. It's the same thing with the Bulls.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: So that they wouldn't they wouldn't give up on the
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: bowl game. So they had to come up with a
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: playoff system that incorporated the bowl games because the Rose
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: Bowl and all these things was still going on, right,
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: and now you've got these leagues where it it's getting silly.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: You know, when when Stanford and when Oregon is a
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: Big ten team and Stanford is an ACC team, it's like,
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: all right, guys, can we stop and we lost all? No, no, no, no,
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: that's all. So just break it out like the NHL,
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: does you know two North and South conferences in the Midwest,
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: the East and the West. You play regionally for the season.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: Drop all this silliness about leagues and just go go
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: play ball.
• 37:32
  Speaker 30: Yeah, Dan Patrick said to Bovakua yesterday. He goes, so
• 37:35
  Speaker 30: you did not want to be in the Pop Tarts Bowl,
• 37:37
  Speaker 30: And Bovakua said, I love pop Tars. He goes, we
• 37:41
  Speaker 30: should be, you know. Anyway, Virginia got the Gator Bowl.
• 37:45
  Speaker 30: It's an hour and fifteen minutes from my house. So there,
• 37:48
  Speaker 30: Virginia's in my backyard. So I might be heading up
• 37:51
  Speaker 30: and tailgating with I don't know, Mike and Sidney profrator.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: So oh ye, guys, you guys have a great tattoosday.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: Well you guys, you guys, you guys.

  Speaker 28: Hi.
• 38:02
  Speaker 19: It's Mark Falter, hosts of The Financial Fitness Show. I
• 38:05
  Speaker 19: strongly believe that no one should ever pay one penny
• 38:08
  Speaker 19: more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately, for
• 38:13
  Speaker 19: most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case. Why
• 38:17
  Speaker 19: because most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway
• 38:21
  Speaker 19: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less than taxes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 19: My financial fitness team has put together some materials that
• 38:27
  Speaker 19: I know are going to help you. It's the Tax
• 38:29
  Speaker 19: Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
• 38:35
  Speaker 19: top ten ways to pay less than taxes, and an
• 38:38
  Speaker 19: investor's guide to taxes.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: Now, how do you get it? Simple?

  Speaker 26: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes?
• 39:09
  Speaker 26: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 26: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 26: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 26: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
• 39:28
  Speaker 26: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 39:33
  Speaker 26: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 26: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 39:40
  Speaker 26: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 39:42
  Speaker 26: your hands and feet. Well, our product, ultimate nitric oxide,
• 39:47
  Speaker 26: can easily.
• 39:48

  Speaker 2: Doctor Doctor Didn't Lose. I Gotta.
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: Loving you, So read read doctor Robert Malone's book If
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: you want to know about all of you know Why,
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: And it explains why they had to do the m
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: R n A vaccines because they needed a quick, deploy,
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: plug and play template vaccine that they could roll out
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: into a battleground. It's like meatball surgery. It's meatball vaccination.
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: Once you knew what kind of bioweapon your opponent was
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: using against it, you say, but Joe, the war crimes
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: and you can't use Well, yeah, actually you can. Apparently
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: there's a loophole in the prohibition of bioweapons that if
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: it's just a weapon that makes you really, really sick,
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: you can use it if it's something that kills. You know,
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: we have a strict prohibition on deadly bioagents. But if
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: you just use something that makes your opponent's army really sick,
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: a big loophole for that in the Hague. But seely
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: out of four corners rights in Good Morning Joe. So
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: what should President Trump and the Republicans do about healthcare?
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: They have to do a better job messaging first and foremost,
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: because I'm tired of being you know, talk radio should
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: be tired of being the only place that has a
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: reasonable conversation about this. Why do you need the Obamacare subsidies?
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: I can be honest enough to say that it's because
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: we forced all the insurance so well, it was great
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: fun when the insurance companies were being guaranteed all these
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: keen new customers because you know, you were going to
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: be fined if you didn't purchase the dime. Sorry, it
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: was a tax. Congress only has the right to make
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: a tax, so we would tax you if you didn't
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: buy health insurance. So all these insurance companies and then
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: they said, well some of these people are really not
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: in great health, Barry, Well, let's, you know, give them
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: all the whatever insurance you can't and then what happened
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: to a lot of insurance companies started to cut back
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: on what was available or left the insurance the healthcare
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: insurance industry altogether, leaving just a couple at I think
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: and Blue Cross Blue Shield, which I think a lot
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: of people believe is just government healthcare. And I think
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: that is where we're headed. This is what they want.
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: They want eventually to just say, you know what, Blue Cross,
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: Blue Shield is going to become government healthcare. It's a
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: little bit of what the Republicans proposed last week, seely,
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: which was this fifty individual states of Obamacare. But we
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: have to first be honest that healthcare, insurance and healthcare
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: are not the same thing. And it's a mania that
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: I've lived under since two thousand and nine. Every time
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: somebody talks about, you know, the accessibility of healthcare, I'm like,
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: there's no inaccessibility of healthcare. There's hospitals everywhere, there's minute
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: medic clinics, and the pharmacies now can get there's no
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: inaccessibility of healthcare. There are some rural communities that the
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: insurance industry has driven out of the healthcare business, where
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: the old country DOCTA has to hang up their shingle
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: because they can't afford the insurance it costs to operate
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: a medical facility in Backwash, Indiana. So you fix that,
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: you fix the amount of doctors that are out there,
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: You fix the insurance industry. And I don't mean to
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: make it out like the insurance industry is the grand
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: villain in all of this, but understand that in insurance companies,
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: one job is to make sure it pays out as
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: little as possible. It will take the risk, and when
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: the risk is called, they will make sure they are
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: liable for as little as possible. That's their actuarial responsibility
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: to their shareholders. Seely there's a place to go. Should
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: insurance companies be publicly traded companies? You tell me? Should
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: should ensure and providers be able to sell shares, which
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: then adds a whole new level of customer to the
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: insurance company. And which customer is more important? It's a
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: regulation that changed in the nineties, along with the regulation
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: that kept investment firms and banks from merging. That went
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: away too, So there are some fixes on that side
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: of the coin. But shouldn't you be able to walk
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: into a doctor's office, and I will guarantee you seely
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: if you find the right doctor, because I have and
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: I'm not a great investigator, but in your community there
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: will be a doctor that as long as they're sure
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: you're not some investigator from the insurance companies. If you
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: just say, hey, doc, I needed to take a look
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: at this thing on my arm. What'll it cost and
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: give me a hundred bucks. You give them a hundred
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: bucks and they'll take a look at what's on your arm.
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: If they're caught doing it, they can be kicked out
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: of the health insurance marketplace and therefore lose all of
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: their customers. So you've got to be careful with this.
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: It's a fragile thing. These are the things that you
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: need to fix. And yes, a lot of them wind
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: around health care insurance. Why because the politicians have convinced
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: us that having health care insurance is the same as
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: having health care. So then when COVID comes in and
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: the insurance company said, whoa, everyone's going to the hospital,
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: what the hell, we can't afford that, And everyone's premiums
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: went up because they were all going to the hospital.
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: Because that's what premiums do when you start calling in
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: your insurance policy all the time. We went in and said, ah,
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: we can't fix that, so just send them money, send
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: them money, and that'll make it all better. And then
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: the insurance company said, well, if they're just going to
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: guarantee us the the premium, I'm good to go with that. Again,
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: you have to understand the Hoffer paradigm. The movement of
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: creating an insurance industry was righteous. The business of being
