"When at First..." (Thursday September 25, 2025, Hour 1) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I'll do it.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: The first thing today, media will do it lite.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: We try it again. What do they say about if
• 0:15
  at first.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: At least for work when the sun comes up?
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Drops a pet school? Apply it to if at first
• 0:26
  things first?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Right, Joe's smile as.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to
• 0:36
  you through it.
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: All.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: The trials and tribulations, connectivity, first world problems. On first
• 0:45
  thing today, Uh, storms in the mid Atlantic, and we
• 0:49
  haven't even had this confluence of these two And pardon
• 0:53
  me for a second, but here along the mid Atlantic
• 0:56
  storms you get garner attention. But every time there's some
• 1:01
  disturbance in the valls out in the Atlantic, it seems
• 1:07
  like earlier and earlier forecasters want to say, oh, oh
• 1:11
  it could be, could be something don't know. So now
• 1:16
  we're getting warnings about two storms that all they have
• 1:19
  are National Weather Service code designations. It's like I E
• 1:26
  seven eight seven three eight be afraid I eat I
• 1:31
  E seven eight three seven is coming. And their storms there,
• 1:35
  they are definitely storms. They've got, you know, winds twenty
• 1:38
  five thirty miles an hour in the Atlantic, and there's
• 1:41
  another one just south of it, and oh, what have
• 1:43
  they come? Together, you know, can we wait till it
• 1:46
  actually becomes a hurricane, just as a favor to all
• 1:51
  of the all of you who are rightfully so on
• 1:55
  probably your last good nerve on this Thursday morning. Yes,
• 1:59
  for a change, it is Thursday morning. Bless you for
• 2:01
  living the groundhog day for the last hour. And thanks
• 2:05
  again to the folks back at the Talk Media Network
• 2:08
  for getting us having a backup for when this went
• 2:13
  pear shape this morning. We're on a backup transmitter to
• 2:17
  our satellite, you know, the Mumford Tea firefly suck it
• 2:20
  from the sky down link antenna. So we're on a backup.
• 2:25
  So it may be a little scruffy. It's much better
• 2:29
  when you're in a city. This is the system we
• 2:31
  use when we're at places like the Consumer Electronics Show,
• 2:35
  which show will take a shameless moment to plug. We'll
• 2:38
  be at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, bringing you
• 2:42
  all the cool new stuff that's coming there, and finding
• 2:46
  all the folks who are peeing themselves over the idea
• 2:49
  of data centers in their town. Oh my gosh, the
• 2:54
  greatest scourge. Now i'd give you the phone number. I'll
• 2:56
  give it to you as a text message. Because with
• 2:59
  the the service down that we have, I'm not sure
• 3:02
  the phones are even working at this point, so best
• 3:06
  for you to try to text me with a question.
• 3:09
  Like I said, there's a lot of real stuff going
• 3:11
  on here, and if you missed the one moment we
• 3:14
  had live, I'm really really considering calling, you know, my
• 3:19
  press agent and saying we need to get a press
• 3:22
  statement out that I've been censored somehow, even though it
• 3:25
  has nothing to do with the government, but I want
• 3:27
  to claim that I was censored. I'm like Jimmy Kimmel
• 3:31
  hashtag Jimmy Kimmel. You know, never mind being the next Charlie.
• 3:35
  We are all Charlie. No, we are all Kimmel. We're
• 3:38
  being censored. That's sarcasm. By the way, if you can't
• 3:43
  tell through the backup transmitter, that's all. That's our sarcasm
• 3:49
  for the morning. As we get together for you on
• 3:52
  this morning where so much is going on, we can't
• 3:55
  wait to stay online and get it for you. But
• 3:58
  thank you for a living through the re plays of
• 4:00
  yesterday's and so we begin with our first things this
• 4:06
  morning so that we know what we're talking about when
• 4:09
  we talk, and hopefully at some point the main service
• 4:12
  to the transmitter gets back up and running. So the
• 4:18
  first things for you include White House Budget Office instructing
• 4:27
  federal agencies to prepare for reduction enforced plans mass firings
• 4:34
  during a possible US government shutdown. The Office of Management
• 4:38
  and Budget, according to a leak to Politico, is set
• 4:42
  to send a memo to federal agencies to prepare to
• 4:46
  permanently reduce the government workforce if there is a shutdown.
• 4:52
  Don't forget Later today, Chuck Schumer and Hakim Jeffries will
• 4:55
  be in the Oval Office to meet with President Trump.
• 4:59
  New home sales surged in August nationwide twenty percent increase
• 5:05
  in new single family homes a seasonally adjusted annual rate
• 5:11
  of eight hundred thousand units, The Commerce Department reported yesterday
• 5:16
  US District Judge William Smith of Providence again ruling against
• 5:21
  the administration, siding with twenty states led by Democrat attorneys
• 5:26
  general and the District of Columbia challenging conditions that the
• 5:30
  US Department of Homeland Security placed on their ability to
• 5:33
  obtain emergency rescue grant funding Trump administration as you're reviewing
• 5:40
  safety protocols surrounding the abortion pill. Mitha pristone as states
• 5:45
  continued to restrict access. In a letter sent this earlier
• 5:50
  this week, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F.
• 5:55
  Kennedy Junior and FDA Commissioner Marty McCarry stated the agency
• 5:59
  may change the risk evaluation in mitigation strategy requirements due
• 6:03
  to recent studies questioning the pills safety. In a related story,
• 6:10
  a Twitter post from the makers of tailanol from eight
• 6:16
  years ago suggesting that their product is not safe to
• 6:21
  take during pregnancy has been circulating the Internet and not
• 6:28
  questioned by the makers of tailanol. Former FBI Director James
• 6:33
  Comy is expected to be indicted in the coming days
• 6:36
  in the Eastern District of Virginia. The full extent of
• 6:40
  the charges against Komy are unclear, but at least one
• 6:43
  of the elements will be accusing him of lying to
• 6:47
  Congress in his testimony of September thirtieth, twenty twenty. And
• 6:52
  those are our first things. Thank you for letting us
• 6:55
  be of service to you on a talk media network.
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 7:08

• 9:37

  Speaker 12: If you came across someone struggling with hunger, how would
• 11:05
  you recognize them by their clothes, their age, the way
• 11:10
  they speak. Would you notice a sixteen year old boy
• 11:13
  who got his first.
• 11:14
  Speaker 13: Job for extra spending money about to help feed his
• 11:17
  little sisters.

• 11:22
  to bed hungry so her kids can have dinner. Or
• 11:25
  a fourteen year old girl who signs up to every after.

• 11:31
  something to eat.

  Speaker 18: A message from NITZA and the AD Councils Radio.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: It's on.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
• 13:17
  the second most famous Thomas and Charlotte Smill.
• 13:39
  Speaker 13: Why you see President contributes of that Prinsley he saw
• 13:45
  his rally recently said I hate my enemies.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: He is uh.
• 13:50
  Speaker 13: Stephen Miller said similar things. How can you support him
• 13:53
  when he contributed to what got Charlie killed?
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: That is from last night's turning point us A Proved
• 14:01
  Me Wrong rally that had been pre scheduled. Charlie Kirk
• 14:05
  was supposed to be at Virginia tex campus in Blacksburg
• 14:09
  for an event.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: This room and I see thousands of you.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: This also from it there that's a Governor Youngkin who
• 14:17
  was at the rally but wasn't taking the role on
• 14:21
  of Charlie not, and you can lay blame whatever. But
• 14:27
  I wasn't thrilled with Meghan Kelly and her response to
• 14:33
  the young fellow who was there with a lot of
• 14:35
  Snopes and left wing agit prop over a DOJ study
• 14:42
  done by the Biden and Merrick Garland Department of Justice
• 14:46
  into who does what violence. But he went on, assumes.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Facts, not in evidence. What you said is not true.
• 14:55
  Speaker 13: Seventy of political violence is committed by Republicans.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Now that's not what the Department of Justice reports said.
• 15:03
  And the report that was taken down by the Department
• 15:08
  of Justice on somewhere between September eleventh and September twelfth
• 15:12
  of this year was done by the commissioned by Merrick
• 15:16
  Garland and the Department of Justice and said, let me
• 15:20
  give you some of the background, because fair is fair.
• 15:27
  Since nineteen ninety far right extremists have committed far more
• 15:33
  ideologically motivated homicides than far left radical Islamist extremists. So
• 15:42
  some very specific words in there, and the young man
• 15:44
  is obviously getting something from Act Blue or whatever a
• 15:47
  press release that parses some of these. So I wanted
• 15:50
  to put the entire wording out in there because I
• 15:54
  believe this was the first actual turning point USA Proved
• 15:59
  Me Wrong event that had been scheduled since Charlie Kirk's
• 16:04
  assassination in Utah, and if there may have been others
• 16:07
  that were canceled, but this one. Governor Glenn Youngkin spoke
• 16:12
  at it. But then Megan Kelly took on the onus
• 16:16
  of doing the ask me anything part. Bless her for it.
• 16:23
  This is something that you know, standing on the stage
• 16:26
  without any sort of prep, dealing with these folks, these
• 16:30
  agitators who have been fed information is something that Charlie
• 16:36
  Kirk was brilliant at because he would let them scream
• 16:41
  and yell and then say he done. Can we tear
• 16:43
  apart what you were just saying? And he wouldn't you
• 16:46
  argue with him? This is the continues.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, look it up.
• 16:51
  Speaker 19: OJ just pulled it.
• 16:53
  Speaker 13: OJ just pulled it from their website.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Again a fact that is not questionable but also not
• 17:00
  necessarily relevant.
• 17:01
  Speaker 13: You just pulled the study from the website because they're delusional.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: That's not true, because.
• 17:08
  Speaker 9: The website, once you pull the crazies out of there,
• 17:10
  it is overwhelmingly left wing violence.
• 17:12
  Speaker 13: Google it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: We have had every single right. Now you know this
• 17:17
  is this is how we get here. So first of all,
• 17:21
  let me take on the first part of the premise
• 17:22
  of your question that it was.
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: President Trump's rhetoric that led to an assassin killing our
• 17:28
  friend Charlie Kirk.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: That's a blatant lie.
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: It's a defamatory blaspheam, and it's inappropriate in the setting.
• 17:34
  Speaker 13: That's not what I said.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: We know, yes it is. No.
• 17:36
  Speaker 13: I said, he contributed to the political he contributed.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: To the right. Now he's trying to go.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Back, Well, then you have no pension. Then your point
• 17:44
  is utterly empty. It's contributing to the atmosphere.
• 17:47
  Speaker 13: The present guy was.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Let's just make clear.
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: Let's just make clear this guy was motivated by leftist ideology.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: We know it from the bullet.
• 17:54
  Speaker 11: Casings, we know it from the Utah governor, we know
• 17:56
  it from his own price.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: But here's here's the problem with what's just transpired on
• 18:01
  this stage is Megan Kelly has accepted the premise that
• 18:08
  these you know, left and rights in combat for the
• 18:14
  big middle of the United States are the do all
• 18:19
  and all of this conversation. She's accepted the premise of
• 18:23
  the kid's point. Rather than bringing up the eric holders
• 18:28
  of the world. When they go low, we kick them
• 18:33
  the basket of deplorables. Why Hillary, the queen of the
• 18:36
  deplorable basket just said yesterday it was on the Morning
• 18:41
  Joe the other Morning Joe, aside from your humble host,
• 18:50
  she said, men, white men of a certain persuasion, a
• 19:00
  certain religion, a certain point of view, a certain ideology,
• 19:04
  want to turn back the clock and recreate a world
• 19:07
  that never was. So she's back doubling down on the
• 19:13
  basket of deplorables, dispatching entire groups of people simply because
• 19:20
  of their religious belief or the color of their skin.
• 19:23
  Does that sound like something that's ideologically substantial. So again,
• 19:30
  I feel for Megan Kelly, believe me, taking on that
• 19:33
  yoke is especially when they've had a week and a
• 19:36
  half to prepare this kind of stuff. But the report
• 19:42
  he's mentioning is about Islamic terrorism, not not communist manifesto
• 19:56
  swinging little red book, sleeping brown shirts. This is about
• 20:10
  the report was done to counteract Islamic terrorism versus supposed
• 20:18
  right wing terrorism. Now what they call right wing terrorism
• 20:23
  isn't one hundred percent clear in the report, but much
• 20:27
  of it has to do with the kind of stuff
• 20:29
  that we saw in twenty seventeen here in our flagship
• 20:32
  area of Charlottesville, where somebody who wants closed borders and
• 20:38
  to get rid of anyone that isn't a white Anglo
• 20:40
  Saxon Protestant is out there calling themselves conservatives. I've read
• 20:45
  Russell Kirk front to back up and down. There is
• 20:49
  nothing in the conservative world that closes borders and has
• 20:54
  a purity test for race or religious belief doesn't believes
• 21:00
  are trying to replace them. There's nothing in conservatism about that.
• 21:04
  But the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland called that
• 21:09
  right wing ideology when really it's just racist, xenophobic Marxism
• 21:22
  because it marx is the one that wants totalitarianism and
• 21:26
  a purity and a cleaning out of the community of
• 21:28
  people that don't go along. So because Merrick Garland called
• 21:34
  it right wing, because these Dick Spencer's and David Dukes
• 21:41
  that soiled the streets of my hometown in twenty seventeen
• 21:46
  continue to claim themselves to be conservatives and wear maga hats,
• 21:51
  doesn't make them anywhere near conservative at all, and I'm
• 21:54
  not afraid to call them out for it. But that's
• 21:56
  what this kid's study is based on.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent
• 22:04
  of forty four herbal supplements had no trace of the
• 22:08
  advertised herb. Don't let that happen to you, Hi, this

  Speaker 18: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
• 23:14
  is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:17
  owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
• 23:21
  That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
• 23:23
  the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
• 23:26
  premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
• 23:29
  is not just due to the octane rating. There are
• 23:31
  better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too,
• 23:36
  the vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
• 23:38
  with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
• 23:41
  their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
• 23:44
  your fuel choices around say every third tank full, you
• 23:47
  may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
• 23:50
  are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.
• 23:53
  Just don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them

  Speaker 2: For you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Who will be the next Charlie to love us?
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: That to you and me, that's how it rolls. Everything
• 28:29
  we're doing to make that happen. We're a long long
• 28:34
  way from home, and I've said this before, and I
• 28:38
  want you to understand what's going on with this because
• 28:42
  it is a battle of opinion becoming dominion. This is
• 28:49
  exactly what Karl Marx wanted. These Americans turned on Americans
• 28:55
  because one group of Americans believes that there should be
• 29:00
  the coercive power of government helping people who couldn't possibly
• 29:06
  help themselves, never once thinking what what happened to me
• 29:12
  if I was designated as one of those people. It
• 29:18
  never occurs to these folks that they might be the
• 29:22
  ones on the outside. So when we have this first
• 29:26
  turning point USA event, hamp writes in from Treasure Coast,
• 29:32
  Meghan Kelly was getting emotional too, which is not something
• 29:36
  Charlie Kirk ever really became. And that was one of
• 29:39
  the things that made Charlie so effective at this and
• 29:41
  why I would not, as our governor asked in the preface,
• 29:48
  he was sort of the opening act to Megan Kelly
• 29:51
  coming out to do the prove me wrong segment of
• 29:54
  the program.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Who will be the next Charlie?
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: And if you know the rest of the story. He
• 30:02
  goes on to make a very clear point about who
• 30:05
  it will be.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: And as I look out in this room and I
• 30:08
  see thousands of you, I want to repeat the best
• 30:12
  answer that I have heard. You will be the next Charlie.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: All of you, and you know and what that entails
• 30:24
  is number one understanding that each of us comes into
• 30:28
  this world with rights. And it's not the right to
• 30:32
  a house, because that requires somebody to build it for you.
• 30:34
  It doesn't include right to healthcare because that requires somebody
• 30:38
  to provide it to you. It doesn't include the right
• 30:44
  to a job, because that infers that somebody is required
• 30:48
  to give it to you. These are conceits that are
• 30:54
  put forth by a country that, to be fair, has
• 30:58
  under Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, allowed the money
• 31:04
  changers to become more and more powerful, allowing and this
• 31:10
  is the great gag in all this. The Marxists sit
• 31:14
  there and watch Bill Clinton and George W. Bush and
• 31:17
  they relax, and they create eddies and currents that allow
• 31:21
  the money changers to sit on each other's boards and everything.
• 31:24
  And I know, for a moment that's going to sound
• 31:26
  like communism. But we've allowed the wealthy in this country
• 31:34
  to become an oligarchy.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: We are.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: A live action role play Marxism, and it started in
• 31:44
  the sixties when Lyndon Johnson foisted the Great Society on us.
• 31:49
  That created the toolkit where all those Marxists that McCarthy
• 31:55
  was right about. We now know that McCarthy was right
• 31:59
  about all communists in the apparatus in the forties and fifties.
• 32:06
  But by the sixties, when Lyndon Johnson creates all of
• 32:09
  the programs under the Great Society, now they have the
• 32:12
  toolkit in which to establish this schism between wealthy, middle
• 32:18
  class and poor. See, in order to qualify for the
• 32:22
  government aid, you actually have to be poor. You can't
• 32:25
  be middle class. And therefore we now have the ability
• 32:32
  to point to the middle class and say, look, they're
• 32:36
  wealthy and you're not. You're poor. Let's storm the bass steel.
• 32:44
  This is the gas lit street you're walking down right now,
• 32:48
  and you're tuned into me, hopefully because we're a beacon
• 32:52
  of sanity in this. Is it understandable that somebody says
• 32:58
  medicine is too expensive and I can't afford it if
• 33:01
  I was to get sick. Sure the question isn't wrong,
• 33:07
  it's what's presented is the solution conscripture of medical professionals
• 33:12
  to force them to serve patients that can't possibly pay them.
• 33:19
  That's slavery. Forcing home builders to build homes for people
• 33:23
  and landlords to operate homes for people who can't afford
• 33:28
  to pay for them, that's communism. That's Marxism. And so
• 33:34
  when all these people talk about the New American Rights,
• 33:37
  they're talking about creating an American Marxism. And really I
• 33:42
  shouldn't say creating, because they're just putting the finishing touches
• 33:48
  on it. And this is one of the things that
• 33:51
  I think we lose sight of is that it's not
• 33:55
  about my party, your party. It's one party has bought
• 33:59
  all in on the idea of reparational socialism, and that
• 34:05
  you know, there are people who are poor and the
• 34:08
  only way to keep them from being poor is to well,
• 34:11
  they'll tell you, is to take money from the wealthy,
• 34:16
  see the middle class, not the wealthy. And you're going
• 34:19
  to take the money from the wealthy middle class and
• 34:22
  give it to the poor, who are now going to
• 34:25
  be just about as poor as the newly created poor
• 34:28
  that had been middle class. And that's the secret of Marxism.
• 34:33
  All the bells and whistles and all the professorial gobbledegook
• 34:38
  that surrounds Marxism. It's about creating an equity of poverty,
• 34:42
  an equity of destitution, an equity of despair. Then, because
• 34:48
  humanity has jealousy built into it, well now I don't
• 34:51
  see anyone who's doing better than me, so I must
• 34:54
  be doing better. That's how it works, and that's what
• 34:57
  this kid is talking about. Missed the earlier clip. There's
• 35:01
  a clip from the first turning Point, USA, ask me
• 35:06
  anything proved me wrong? Event Megan Kelly taking up and
• 35:11
  like I said, a task I would be loath to do.
• 35:15
  The text messages coming into four three four eight eight
• 35:18
  two four two one seven Bill, I that, like Joe,
• 35:22
  you should do it. It's it's about having empathy to say,
• 35:25
  I look at this kid who's there, and he's all
• 35:29
  of nineteen. And one of the things that made Charlie
• 35:35
  Kirk special was he would look at this kid and
• 35:39
  understand the bravery that he is showing to stand there.
• 35:45
  Two days ago, I received an email uh questioning my
• 35:49
  position that Charlie Kirk was doing what everyone has been
• 35:52
  told to do since twenty seventeen, which is you need
• 35:55
  to listen to each other more well, Charlie Kirk was
• 35:59
  doing and got himself shot for it. Because the Marxists
• 36:03
  couldn't deal with that. No longer could they say Conservatives
• 36:06
  aren't listening, they have closed minds, because the first thing
• 36:11
  Charlie would say to this kid is he appreciated the
• 36:13
  bravery it took to stand there in this crowd and
• 36:18
  say this.
• 36:19
  Speaker 13: Oh, why you support a president whose contributes to the
• 36:22
  rhetoric got got your friend Charlie killed.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: And the first thing I would do in this situation
• 36:27
  is debunk the idea that it's about one president or another.
• 36:31
  This is bigger than one president or another. But it
• 36:36
  goes all the way back to the establishment of Marxist toolkit,
• 36:42
  a toolkit that says, you know, in its foundation, we
• 36:47
  are going to be dehumanizing, demoralizing, centralized, planned state where
• 36:59
  you will be signed each and everything that you get,
• 37:02
  and if you don't think you deserve it, we have
• 37:05
  a prison for you to re educate you because obviously
• 37:08
  you're insane. It has nothing to do. See what makes
• 37:14
  the left mad about Donald Trump is that he goes
• 37:18
  in there and starts blowing up some of these agencies
• 37:21
  that are part of the Marxist toolkit that Lyndon Johnson's started.
• 37:28
  And I could point to a dozen instances where I
• 37:30
  don't think he's been particularly conservative either, but he never
• 37:35
  ran on being a conservative. He appreciates the conservatives support.
• 37:46
  But if you want to stop something, and this goes
• 37:49
  back to the idea of are you for something or
• 37:51
  against something? And sometimes you have to be against something.
• 37:57
  And in our world of hashtags and bumper stickers, we
• 38:00
  don't get deep enough. Can you believe?
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: With all the recent violent protests, looting, and destruction, some
• 38:06
  areas are considering either defunding or abolishing the police. At
• 38:11
  a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of police

  the most, some elected officials would rather create more chaos
• 38:18
  by playing politics. If you're sick of elected officials caving

  bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 39:13
  I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 39:19
  optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 39:23
  nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 39:27
  reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 39:32
  The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 39:37
  has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 39:43
  cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 39:46
  in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

• 44:40
  thanks for taking some time out with us. How are
• 44:42
  you doing this morning?
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: I'm great, Jill, Thanks for having me.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, I was just trying to tick off a list. Corvallis, Oregon, Charlottesville, Virginia, Harrisonburg, Pennsylvania.
• 44:54
  We're We're in an awful lot of college towns, Saint Augustine, Florida.
• 44:59
  So and then we're in Daytona, where all the college
• 45:02
  kids go in spring break. So that said, where where
• 45:06
  are you finding? And over the years that US News
• 45:10
  is world US News and World Report has been putting
• 45:13
  it out. I think it's since the mid eighties you've
• 45:16
  been doing this report, you know it has has the
• 45:20
  ranking nuanced and have you started to you know, look
• 45:23
  at different categories as time marched.
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: Yes, the rankings have evolved over the forty decades. The
• 45:32
  US News that we've been ranking colleges over the years,
• 45:35
  we've added rankings not just the best national universities, of
• 45:40
  best national liberal arts colleges, but also be colleges for veterans,
• 45:44
  best value schools, the public schools, and historically black colleges
• 45:49
  and universities. So our methodology bill has it has evolved
• 45:55
  to refine the process. It really takes a good look
• 45:58
  at what might be the best bit for a particular student.
• 46:01
  And then of course you know very from students to student.
• 46:04
  So you've got a legwork of aggregating data, apples comparisons
• 46:09
  to help up at a great starting point in the
• 46:11
  college search.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: Right. No, and certainly it's the case. You know, I
• 46:16
  found that I have a dear friend who's an elected
• 46:21
  official but a lawyer. I don't hold it against him,
• 46:25
  but he did say that his his law degree from
• 46:29
  the University of Richmond only got him his first job,
• 46:32
  and all the other ones after that were based on
• 46:35
  his performance in those So I guess you know there's
• 46:38
  a point. But it's a trajectory too, isn't it that
• 46:41
  that you know, once you get that first job, you've
• 46:44
  you've accomplished enough toolkit building, uh to keep that trajectory going, Lawrence?
• 46:50
  Is that is that a thing that to use your
• 46:52
  guide for?
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: Well, yes, was a good privilege equipped students to do,
• 47:01
  to be able to get out, get a job, succeed
• 47:04
  in that, and continue to improve there, whether it's social
• 47:07
  mobility or their income, their career satisfaction, their life satisfaction.
• 47:14
  You know, what we do after high school, particularly college,
• 47:17
  cannot be divorced from the rest of our lives. So
• 47:20
  US News takes it quite seriously in terms of looking
• 47:23
  at outcomes. In fact, about half of the methodology relates
• 47:27
  to outcomes of students, whether it's graduating, those factors, getting
• 47:33
  a job within your field in a certain amount of time.
• 47:36
  These are all important students, so they're important elements.
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: In our rankings and they and you do a lot
• 47:42
  of different degrees of schools in there. What about the
• 47:47
  modern technology Lamont, because there are schools like here in
• 47:52
  our flagship area just south of US Liberty University is
• 47:56
  you know, one of the gold standards in online outreach
• 48:01
  and classes available, full degree programs available online. Do you
• 48:05
  get do you get into stuff like that as well?
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: We have separate rankings those will be in the first
• 48:11
  half of next year for online education. Oh, we do
• 48:14
  rank online program because, as you mentioned, technology has become
• 48:18
  so important. Uh, it's such a convenience for people to
• 48:21
  be able to go online for those who deed that flexibility.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: So, you know, when when you look at things like
• 48:28
  value and it was so much conversation is centered these
• 48:32
  days around does a kid need a college degree? Are
• 48:37
  you factoring that in, you know, to what a kid's
• 48:41
  looking for? For example, my son went to ECPI, but
• 48:45
  he it was the former Culinary Institute of Virginia and
• 48:50
  their branch in Norfolk because that's what he wanted to learn.
• 48:53
  And it was a former branch of Johnson and Wales
• 48:56
  and all the professors were there, and so when he
• 48:58
  saw it, he saw that as a great value for
• 49:02
  the fact that it wasn't it wasn't Johnson and Wales anymore,
• 49:05
  but it was all the professors that had been at
• 49:08
  Johnson and Wales. Are those are the kind of things
• 49:10
  that you can if you dig hard enough in the
• 49:12
  US News and World Report rankings, you can find.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: And that's that's a great point to make there, Joe.
• 49:21
  What we do in US News is we cannot We
• 49:25
  do not look at subjective measure teams that can't be
• 49:28
  objectively valued and objectively verified with data. But there are
• 49:33
  objective ways based on data to get to some of
• 49:36
  those issues of value in terms of being relative to
• 49:40
  what may be more prioritized to a student in that
• 49:42
  family than another. For example, student teacher ratio may be
• 49:45
  more important to a family, whereas the faculty salaries or
• 49:52
  borrower diet. How much did student come out of a
• 49:55
  school with for lower income families, for example, how well
• 49:59
  is school does admitting students who get a federal pil
• 50:04
  grant which is for lower income persons, keeping them in school,
• 50:07
  them graduate, wating, and getting a job. So again, those
• 50:10
  outcomes measures are so important and their raid value. When
• 50:13
  you talk about value, it's not just cost, but cost
• 50:16
  is a huge factor. How much will I come out with?
• 50:19
  How much will I have to pay out of pocket?
• 50:21
  Can I even afford this school? So our content also
• 50:24
  urges students their family don't just look at a sticker price.
• 50:27
  It's like buying a car. Most students, the vast majority,
• 50:30
  will not pay the sticker price. That's before any aid
• 50:34
  is added scholarships, grants, federal work study, federal student loans,
• 50:38
  et cetera. So out of pocket is almost always less
• 50:42
  than what the sticker price is. So value is important.
• 50:45
  There are ways to get at it. And our rankings.
• 50:47
  Do you know we have us for listing of best
• 50:50
  value schools.
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and looking I was jumping I was jumping ahead
• 50:56
  because I looked at that list and I was a
• 50:58
  little surprised because you know, you expect to see schools
• 51:02
  and I know my friends in Charlottesville will say, well,
• 51:05
  where's u v A on that? In a public it's
• 51:07
  the public IVY they love to call themselves. But you
• 51:11
  you have as the top schools. I guess the top
• 51:15
  three are all IVY League schools and your best value
• 51:20
  programs Princeton, Harvard, and Yale and then M I T.
• 51:25
  So value is not necessarily inexpensive.
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: Well, that's a great point. And that's what people can
• 51:33
  see when they look at our rankings and data. As
• 51:36
  you mentioned, uh, you know, the best value schools Princeton,
• 51:40
  Harvard and Yale first, second and third for the best
• 51:42
  national universities, m I C Is fourth, rights Over in
• 51:46
  Texas has fifth over the Liberal arts colleges. Berea College
• 51:49
  in Kentucky is number one. Then you get to that's
• 51:53
  a public school. You get to Williams and Amherst in
• 51:55
  Massachusetts two and three. How we figured though that how
• 51:59
  we calculated them, because it's pretty important. We determine this
• 52:02
  value by this. We consider us. We consider academic quality
• 52:07
  and that's indicated by a school's Best Colleges ranking plus
• 52:12
  the next cost of attendance for an out of state
• 52:15
  student who receives the average level of need based financial aids.
• 52:20
  So that's very specific. So the higher program quality and
• 52:23
  the lower the cost the bit of the deal. So
• 52:26
  that power mesty.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you, Lamanda, I appreciate it. And US News
• 52:30
  World Report Colleges ranking, they're on their website. I thank
