Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: It's the purpose of SpaceX.
- 0:04Speaker 2: It's like we want to make Star Trek real.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Love.
- 0:12Speaker 4: First thing today on the Talk Median Network by Joe,
- 0:16Speaker 4: Thomas Stewart.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Said, steal me stem.
- 0:19Speaker 5: You have a day at least for work when the
- 0:23Speaker 5: sun comes up, drops a pet to school.
- 0:27Speaker 6: Joey is a thing a dream do.
- 0:29Speaker 7: All the treasure needs no one that Joe's smile.
- 0:34Speaker 8: He only eggs.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Joe, welcome to the nerd prom elon musk there yesterday
- 0:47Speaker 2: saying you was just trying to bring the Star Trek on.
- 0:50Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like we're not there.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Well, I was thinking about that statement after the scanners
- 0:57Speaker 2: that I saw at the Consumer Electronics Show. They were
- 1:02Speaker 2: able to just scan your face with a little bright
- 1:05Speaker 2: light and tell you what your blood pressure is and
- 1:09Speaker 2: your cholesterol level and so much going on. So we
- 1:16Speaker 2: aren't all that far away. Never mind the handheld communicators
- 1:26Speaker 2: and the medical beds that you lay on and can
- 1:30Speaker 2: tell you, you know, diagnostically, what's happening with the patient laying
- 1:34Speaker 2: on the bed and those sorts of things. We're most
- 1:39Speaker 2: of the way there. Even you look at the taser
- 1:45Speaker 2: technology and what does a taser do? It shoots an
- 1:49Speaker 2: electric current through you to disable an assailant, ostensibly as
- 1:57Speaker 2: the science of star trek as he teeters out on
- 2:01Speaker 2: the edge of sounding way too nerdy to be popular,
- 2:05Speaker 2: the science of the phase, the handheld phase pistol was
- 2:10Speaker 2: it would shoot an electric plasma at you that would
- 2:14Speaker 2: disrupt your electrical circuitry, knocking you out and or killing you,
- 2:18Speaker 2: depending on the intensity of it. So we're not all
- 2:22Speaker 2: that far from all this stuff becoming real anyway, Elon.
- 2:25Speaker 2: But he's talking about SpaceX and getting out there, and
- 2:29Speaker 2: I think a lot of that ties into the conversation
- 2:31Speaker 2: we had with doctor Alex and doctor Tierb Tierro from
- 2:39Speaker 2: Siemens and from Commonwealth Fusion. Because the secret to.
- 2:46Speaker 1: All of the.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Exploration mankind has ever done has been based on the
- 2:51Speaker 2: technology that we've reached. Columbus couldn't have he said Columbus
- 2:57Speaker 2: on the air, the explorers, Cortes, these folks. If the
- 3:02Speaker 2: shipbuilding technology and the ability to create energy movement out
- 3:11Speaker 2: of the wind wasn't there, we never would have explored anything.
- 3:17Speaker 1: So all of that has.
- 3:19Speaker 2: To start with some scientific pursuit. So I also want
- 3:25Speaker 2: to get back got this text message during the news
- 3:28Speaker 2: we were breaking down and if you missed it, we'll recap.
- 3:32Speaker 1: A little bit for you. But Joe, did you just
- 3:34Speaker 1: create a new word? Pope ularity?
- 3:37Speaker 2: I'll tell you the story coming up in our First Things,
- 3:40Speaker 2: but I wanted to discuss the pope out on a
- 3:43Speaker 2: rope on the subject of woke the woke ideology Max
- 3:52Speaker 2: also coming up the perhaps end of the Aaron Rodgers experiment,
- 4:00Speaker 2: many in the world saying, oh boy, some for Aaron
- 4:03Speaker 2: Rodgers to think about when he goes in communes in
- 4:06Speaker 2: the cave they're in a little bit. But all that
- 4:09Speaker 2: being said our first Things on this Tuesday morning, Iran
- 4:15Speaker 2: is still on fire as protests still go on. The
- 4:19Speaker 2: Ayatola has announced that executions will begin as they have
- 4:24Speaker 2: arrested protesters who have had the temerity to say we
- 4:27Speaker 2: don't think the government's doing what it's supposed to do,
- 4:30Speaker 2: and the executions will continue until morale improves in Iran. However,
- 4:36Speaker 2: they have started to allow some selected Iranians to make
- 4:39Speaker 2: phone calls out of the country. Still can't get internet service,
- 4:46Speaker 2: they say. The death toll is now six hundred and
- 4:49Speaker 2: forty six people killed. French farmers surrounded the French parliament
- 4:57Speaker 2: with three hundred and fifty tractors protesting a deal Paris
- 5:02Speaker 2: is made with the European Union and South America fears
- 5:07Speaker 2: that their live leihoods, already difficult.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Are going to go away.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Federal judge in Washington overturned an Interior Department directive halting
- 5:18Speaker 2: construction of a six point two billion dollar offshore wind
- 5:22Speaker 2: project serving several dozen houses in New England. The ruling
- 5:27Speaker 2: by the district Judge Royce Lambert marks a setback for
- 5:32Speaker 2: the President's effort to shut down the money flow to
- 5:35Speaker 2: these projects. According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessn't, three to
- 5:42Speaker 2: six billion dollars a year is just waste, fraud, and abuse.
- 5:47Speaker 2: According to the Government Accountability Offices, this estimate of fraud
- 5:51Speaker 2: losses equal about ten percent of the federal budget. Supreme
- 5:57Speaker 2: Court begins hearing cases today challenging state laws that bar
- 6:01Speaker 2: males who identify as females from competing in girls athletics,

- 6:18Speaker 2: to get any criminal charges to stick against President Donald Trump,
- 6:22Speaker 2: will be called before the House Judiciary Committee January twenty
- 6:26Speaker 2: second to make public comments and answers to five minute
- 6:30Speaker 2: long questions, and during an address to members of the
- 6:34Speaker 2: Diplomatic Corps, Pope Leo warned that Orwellian style ideology is
- 6:40Speaker 2: taking root in the West, undermining free speech. He said
- 6:44Speaker 2: the language is developing in an attempt to be increasingly inclusive,
- 6:50Speaker 2: but ends up excluding those who do not conform to
- 6:54Speaker 2: the ideologies that are fueling it, and those are our
- 6:57Speaker 2: first things this morning.

- 13:51Speaker 2: or whatever it is. The door song sang about Charlie
- 13:55Speaker 2: wants to jump into the fray this morning, and I
- 13:58Speaker 2: love exploring this idea of pope eulism. And also Jack
- 14:03Speaker 2: writes in about populism versus scientism, So I want to
- 14:07Speaker 2: get into all that. But Charlie, thank you for hanging
- 14:10Speaker 2: on the line, my friend.
- 14:10Speaker 1: How are you doing, sir?
- 14:13Speaker 23: Good goodness, morning, Joe. Look again, the Republicans are so
- 14:18Speaker 23: frigging slow. There's a big hearing going on at the
- 14:24Speaker 23: Supreme Court today. Do you know about it?
- 14:27Speaker 2: About Title nine and the men and women's sports. Yeah,
- 14:30Speaker 2: we just had it in our.
- 14:31Speaker 23: News absolutely, so nobody remembers this but me. There's a
- 14:40Speaker 23: Supreme Court justice that should refuse herself, you.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Know why, go ahead and tell us.
- 14:48Speaker 23: Doing her nomination hearing, she stated she did not know
- 14:54Speaker 23: what a.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Woman was Contenjee Brown Jackson, and was asked specifically, yeah,
- 15:00Speaker 2: and she.
- 15:00Speaker 23: Said, I don't know what a woman is, so how
- 15:04Speaker 23: in the hell could she sit on a court hearing.
- 15:08Speaker 23: Now we don't have any Republicans that are smart enough
- 15:12Speaker 23: to bring that up, and that's why we lose.
- 15:15Speaker 24: All the time.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think you're right in the fact that
- 15:19Speaker 2: we don't suit up for the battle. And there's only
- 15:23Speaker 2: one guaranteed your soldier, Charlie, and the only guaranteed way
- 15:29Speaker 2: to lose a battle is to not suit up for it.
- 15:33Speaker 1: And if you're not.
- 15:34Speaker 2: Going to fight these battles. And we talked about this
- 15:36Speaker 2: with abortion yesterday. We were talking about this with the
- 15:41Speaker 2: folks from the Eagle Forum and the fact that the
- 15:43Speaker 2: Republicans are like, I don't know, maybe we should be,
- 15:47Speaker 2: you know, compromising on the High Amendment and maybe let
- 15:50Speaker 2: a little bit of federal money go to abortionists and
- 15:53Speaker 2: things like that, when that was a bipartisan bill passed
- 15:56Speaker 2: by Democrats and Republicans alike back in the eighties.
- 16:00Speaker 9: Uh.
- 16:00Speaker 1: And and now.
- 16:01Speaker 2: They are like, I don't know, maybe we should.
- 16:03Speaker 1: Give in on it.
- 16:04Speaker 2: It's the same I don't know if it's it's if
- 16:09Speaker 2: it's cowardice, or if it's too much concerned with how
- 16:15Speaker 2: something looks rather than and I guess that's a brand
- 16:18Speaker 2: of cowardice anyway.
- 16:20Speaker 23: Charlie, Well, it's she made the statement. Remember Paton said
- 16:27Speaker 23: generals don't win battles, Audacity wins battles.
- 16:32Speaker 2: This is true, and she was audacious about that. Although
- 16:36Speaker 2: she she you know, she had to be pressed into
- 16:38Speaker 2: making the statement.
- 16:40Speaker 23: No, no, but she made the statement. So she made
- 16:43Speaker 23: the statement. And I would say, how can you be
- 16:46Speaker 23: how can you listen to this case? You're not qualified?
- 16:50Speaker 23: You said so yourself.
- 16:54Speaker 2: I think it's it's a valid point. Now she could
- 16:57Speaker 2: probably counter and say, but the case is about whether
- 17:00Speaker 2: you know the freedom of a student. And they're gonna
- 17:03Speaker 2: use all sorts of generic terms in this pleading, Charlie.
- 17:07Speaker 2: They're gonna call them student athletes. They're gonna do anything
- 17:11Speaker 2: to avoid gendering these men who want to play in
- 17:16Speaker 2: women's sports. And yeah, it's so cut and dry that
- 17:24Speaker 2: it's a violation of Title nine. I don't know how
- 17:27Speaker 2: this even got to the Supreme courts. I do because
- 17:29Speaker 2: of activist judges. But it should be just thrown out
- 17:34Speaker 2: on its face as a clear violation of Title nine.
- 17:39Speaker 23: No, that's right that there are so many liberal federal judges.
- 17:45Speaker 23: All they gotta do is get in front of one,
- 17:48Speaker 23: and they know they're going to get a ruling. I mean,
- 17:50Speaker 23: that's just the way it is.
- 17:52Speaker 2: I mean, to be fair. Is Title nine great legislation,
- 17:55Speaker 2: And I've railed about Title nine in the past. There
- 17:58Speaker 2: are parts of Title nine that we've seen here Charlie,
- 18:02Speaker 2: in our flagship city of Charlottesville, the University of Virginia
- 18:06Speaker 2: crippled because they don't they're not a police department. But
- 18:10Speaker 2: Title nine requires the university to investigate sexual assault charges,
- 18:16Speaker 2: not a bonded law enforcement agency. So either the university
- 18:23Speaker 2: has to go out and create a police department, which
- 18:26Speaker 2: then they get protested about. On top of it, Oh,
- 18:29Speaker 2: they have a police department, but by law, they have
- 18:33Speaker 2: to investigate the accusations of sexual assault in house. You
- 18:37Speaker 2: can't bring in outside council or a special prosecutor. If
- 18:42Speaker 2: somebody is alleging that somebody does sexual assault, whether it
- 18:45Speaker 2: be a professor or another student or somebody who just
- 18:48Speaker 2: sneaks in on campus. There and then on top of
- 18:53Speaker 2: it it, you know, it sets up kind of this
- 18:56Speaker 2: separate but equal system of male sports versus female sports.
- 19:01Speaker 2: But these were all left wing agenda points twenty five
- 19:05Speaker 2: years ago when Title nine first gets foisted up and
- 19:09Speaker 2: they've abandoned them in this crusade for wokeness.
- 19:15Speaker 23: When you sell your soul to the devil, Joe, you
- 19:20Speaker 23: go the way the devil wants you to go, and
- 19:22Speaker 23: that's exactly what has happened in the Democratic Party.
- 19:25Speaker 2: It seems like it definitely does. You have a blessed day, sir.
- 19:28Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
- 19:30Speaker 23: God bless you.
- 19:32Speaker 2: Four three four eight eight two four two one seven eurea.
- 19:35Speaker 2: I mean Title nine is a subject that we have
- 19:38Speaker 2: debated in the in the opposition of it, even when
- 19:44Speaker 2: it was first promoted and forgotten in this is Any
- 19:50Speaker 2: sort of sexual misdeed on a college campus has to
- 19:54Speaker 2: be investigated by the college, not by local law enforcement.
- 19:59Speaker 2: So I you have to have a big enough university
- 20:02Speaker 2: like Virginia to hire your own police department and have
- 20:09Speaker 2: a veteran police chief run it like they do, or
- 20:15Speaker 2: you wind up with some assistant dean of students who
- 20:20Speaker 2: has no investigative background whatsoever, probably is just part of
- 20:25Speaker 2: the English department and was picked because he missed a
- 20:28Speaker 2: meeting to be assistant dean, and they're supposed to investigate
- 20:33Speaker 2: claims of sexual assault while working for a university That
- 20:40Speaker 2: wouldn't want those things to come out in the press.
- 20:43Speaker 1: Let's just say.
- 20:46Speaker 2: All sorts of bad things happened with title nind but
- 20:50Speaker 2: part and parcel of why we debated it and not
- 20:54Speaker 2: the only reason was because it was a left wing
- 21:00Speaker 2: you know, give back. It was saying, oh, well, let's
- 21:04Speaker 2: if college campuses are male dominated, let's make sure female
- 21:08Speaker 2: athletes have an equal playing field.
- 21:10Speaker 1: And that was the one part that was.
- 21:11Speaker 2: Indebatable, is that the title nine said if a college
- 21:16Speaker 2: campus was going to provide these opportunities for men, they
- 21:21Speaker 2: cannot discriminate against women.
- 21:23Speaker 1: That part was.
- 21:25Speaker 2: Buttoned up. They should have stopped there. They went further,
- 21:30Speaker 2: and now the left has abandoned titled nine by the
- 21:33Speaker 2: side of the road, like so many cheeseburger rappers or
- 21:37Speaker 2: falaffel rappers in this pursuit of wokeness, which again the
- 21:45Speaker 2: Pope himself called out. I mean, he stopped short of
- 21:48Speaker 2: saying it was a mortal sin. But if you can
- 21:52Speaker 2: get more people doing a station of the cross for it,
- 21:55Speaker 2: maybe maybe then were actually getting somewhere this morning.
- 22:01Speaker 21: Hey Brandt, and her name is Shary I love. She's
- 22:04Speaker 21: a friend of mine whom we were just praying for
- 22:07Speaker 21: because of a surgery she just went through.
- 22:09Speaker 25: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
- 22:11Speaker 25: talk about all the time, which.
- 22:13Speaker 1: Is meta share.
- 22:14Speaker 25: That is right.

- 23:01Speaker 26: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
- 23:06Speaker 26: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
- 23:11Speaker 26: better care for pets from AI assisted radiographs that speed
- 23:15Speaker 26: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
- 23:20Speaker 26: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
- 23:25Speaker 26: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
- 23:30Speaker 26: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
- 23:34Speaker 26: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
- 23:40Speaker 26: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
- 23:44Speaker 26: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
- 23:48Speaker 26: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
- 23:53Speaker 26: center of our profession. For more information on AI and

- 24:04Speaker 24: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 24:08Speaker 24: actually three known gases. I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric oxide
- 24:14Speaker 24: is a gas that's readily made all day long to
- 24:18Speaker 24: keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 24:23Speaker 24: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
- 24:28Speaker 24: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 24:32Speaker 24: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 24:36Speaker 24: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 24:39Speaker 24: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 24:42Speaker 24: your hands and feet well. Our product Ultimate nitric Oxide
- 24:47Speaker 24: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

- 27:56Speaker 8: It's one.
- 28:11Speaker 1: Hundred to do list.
- 28:12Speaker 4: Putting the radio on is the first thing today.
- 28:16Speaker 2: It is time for our sports director Mag McDonald, who
- 28:20Speaker 2: thought Title nine was just a chapter in one of
- 28:23Speaker 2: John Grisham's page turning legal thrillers.
- 28:27Speaker 1: But maybe it will be.
- 28:29Speaker 2: Now that it's in front of the Supreme Court. Who knows,
- 28:32Speaker 2: but he is Mag McDonald. And do you ever think
- 28:35Speaker 2: that Title nine would be controversial?
- 28:40Speaker 29: No, I mean not really at the time. It was
- 28:42Speaker 29: in the seventies too, in the early seventies. When I'm
- 28:44Speaker 29: just now kind of stepping into the business because my
- 28:46Speaker 29: first job was seventy five. My first professional job, I was,
- 28:50Speaker 29: you know, a college are doing games, and.
- 28:53Speaker 1: We were doing you know, we were doing.
- 28:54Speaker 29: Girls basketball and I were doing play by player girls basketball.
- 28:57Speaker 1: And I was six on six.
- 29:00Speaker 29: The Iowa Girls Athletic Union was not going to switch
- 29:03Speaker 29: to five on five. And then the girl from oak
- 29:06Speaker 29: it was Oakridge, Tennessee. I remember it because my mom
- 29:09Speaker 29: grew up in Tennessee playing six girls basketball split in thirds.
- 29:15Speaker 29: There were two girls in each third of the court.
- 29:18Speaker 1: My mom played. It was three and three, so yeah,
- 29:21Speaker 1: my mom.
- 29:21Speaker 29: But my mom was a running center is what she
- 29:24Speaker 29: called it. But yeah, but the games in Iowa were
- 29:27Speaker 29: you know, the championship game is sixteen, no matter what class,
- 29:30Speaker 29: no matter two hundred girls in school or two thousand,
- 29:33Speaker 29: made no difference. And we would do the Sweet sixteen
- 29:37Speaker 29: every year and it was like it was like a
- 29:40Speaker 29: super Bowl. The tickets were sold out the previous year.
- 29:43Speaker 29: I mean, you could not get a ticket to the
- 29:45Speaker 29: women's you know that's audatorium in Des Moines.
- 29:47Speaker 1: So getting back to your original thing.
- 29:49Speaker 29: But when the girl from Oakridge sued and said I've
- 29:53Speaker 29: been denied a chance to play. And I remember a
- 29:55Speaker 29: conversation I had with Debbie Ryan about that back when
- 29:58Speaker 29: so I get the Virginia joh An eighty and I
- 30:01Speaker 29: one of my first conversations with Debbie. I said, Debbie,
- 30:04Speaker 29: do you recruit any girls from ILM? And she goes, hell, no,
- 30:08Speaker 29: you know they know they're two, it's two dribbles. You know,
- 30:12Speaker 29: their skills are not ready for you know, the women's
- 30:14Speaker 29: game at that time. And that's when, of course Debbie
- 30:17Speaker 29: Steam was putting flowers in urinals because Jeane Corgan had
- 30:19Speaker 29: them in a men's locker room. So anyway, with all
- 30:23Speaker 29: that being said, but now the talk with what happened
- 30:26Speaker 29: last night in the Texans. So, so, by the way,
- 30:29Speaker 29: follow script fourteen teams, fifteen years, no team below seventeenth
- 30:34Speaker 29: ranked offense, Eagles, Steelers, Chargers, Carolina.
- 30:37Speaker 1: Thank you for participating. So the first set.
- 30:39Speaker 29: Is done to remind you, all right, But then now
- 30:42Speaker 29: the discussion Aaron Rodgers does he deserve and a Hall
- 30:46Speaker 29: of Fame? Okay, fifth all time in yards over sixty
- 30:49Speaker 29: six thousand, four MVPs, a Super Bowl win, a Super Bowl.
- 30:54Speaker 1: MVP, ten Pro Bowls.
- 30:56Speaker 29: So, and I didn't write this, this comes from the
- 30:58Speaker 29: athletic quote.
- 30:59Speaker 1: It's all most.
- 31:00Speaker 29: Inarguable that Rogers is one of the five best quarterbacks
- 31:03Speaker 29: to ever play, which should relay the gravity of the farewell.
- 31:07Speaker 29: At his peak, Rogers play was simply art, a master
- 31:11Speaker 29: manipulator of defenses with the arm of a superhero.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Oh my god, Well.
- 31:16Speaker 2: You sure Aaron's wife didn't write that, or whoever whoever
- 31:20Speaker 2: runs his.
- 31:22Speaker 1: Danica may have penned that.
- 31:23Speaker 29: It's some time between anyway, But yesterday last night, and
- 31:27Speaker 29: he walks out of the press conference, you know, just
- 31:30Speaker 29: he did not want to talk about his future. He
- 31:32Speaker 29: did all but he did answer questions about Matt Lafleur,
- 31:35Speaker 29: who's on the hot seat, the Packers, and also Mike Tomlin.
- 31:38Speaker 10: You know, the Twitter experts and all the you know
- 31:41Speaker 10: experts on TV now who you make it seem like
- 31:45Speaker 10: they know what they are they're talking about. To me,
- 31:47Speaker 10: that's an absolute joke. More than that that when you
- 31:50Speaker 10: have the right guy, uh and the culture is right,
- 31:54Speaker 10: you don't think about making a change. There's a lot
- 31:56Speaker 10: of pressure that comes from the outside and obviously that's
- 32:00Speaker 10: he's decisions from time to time, but it's not how
- 32:02Speaker 10: I would do things, and not Oteleague used to be.
- 32:04Speaker 1: There you go.
- 32:05Speaker 29: And if if I'm Aaron Rodgers, I'd look into an
- 32:07Speaker 29: FM station in Arkansas. Maybe you can do late night
- 32:10Speaker 29: you know, progressive rock radio.
- 32:12Speaker 2: No, he'd be doing you know, he's going to replace
- 32:15Speaker 2: George Nori on Coast and Coast AM so so alien aductions.
- 32:20Speaker 2: Tell me about what the cattle mutilations in Iowa, and.
- 32:26Speaker 29: Well, those are details that we hide.
- 32:31Speaker 1: Those are details that we hide.
- 32:33Speaker 2: That's right, those those are the images. Not no, so
- 32:37Speaker 2: did he actually he didn't say he was done. We're
- 32:39Speaker 2: just all hopeful that this is you know.
- 32:42Speaker 29: Yeah, everybody, you know, they're saying he'll turn forty three
- 32:44Speaker 29: in December.
- 32:45Speaker 2: So you know, fourteen points off a fumble and an interception.
- 32:50Speaker 29: Twenty four points in the fourth quarter, yeah, fumble, yeah,
- 32:53Speaker 29: fumble and a scoop, I mean a scoop and score
- 32:56Speaker 29: and a pick and.
- 32:57Speaker 1: So there you go, pick six.
- 32:59Speaker 29: I'm not sure now as we get ready for the
- 33:01Speaker 29: hype and next Monday night, of course, long way to go,
- 33:04Speaker 29: and I'm gonna try not to overdo it, but I'm
- 33:07Speaker 29: not sure. There's a press coverage, yes, today with Crystal
- 33:10Speaker 29: Ball and Kurt Signetti. I just don't think there's anything
- 33:13Speaker 29: else you can ask Kurt Signetti now from the process
- 33:16Speaker 29: in preparation to blueprint and plan. His pressers now are
- 33:20Speaker 29: becoming half tos rather than want twos. You know, they
- 33:24Speaker 29: did get into Hey, Curt, do you ever smile anymore?
- 33:27Speaker 29: But Kurt Signetti is all business right now until he
- 33:29Speaker 29: wins this thing on Monday night. By the way, upper deck,
- 33:34Speaker 29: upper deck, nosebleeds three grand and hard rock stadium, three
- 33:41Speaker 29: thousand dollars mold downstairs.
- 33:43Speaker 2: It's twelve to fifteen thousand dollars for this anyway.
- 33:46Speaker 29: But Kurt Signetti press conference, and he got the question
- 33:49Speaker 29: from an ACC reporter and Andrey Aidelson, who actually lives
- 33:52Speaker 29: in Florida.
- 33:53Speaker 1: She lives in Orlando.
- 33:55Speaker 29: And Andrea, you know, post the question, do you feel
- 33:57Speaker 29: like you are a Cinderella? Don't ask Kurt Signetti if
- 34:01Speaker 29: you feel.
- 34:02Speaker 30: You're well defined Cinderella's story in the context of Indiana.
- 34:06Speaker 30: I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. I
- 34:07Speaker 30: don't even able to sort of enter every Saturday, uh
- 34:11Speaker 30: prepared with the right mindset and then putting it on
- 34:14Speaker 30: the field. So it's all about people. And then you
- 34:17Speaker 30: gotta have a blueprint in a plan and I think
- 34:21Speaker 30: you know, there's no question about it. That's what's gotten
- 34:23Speaker 30: us to this point.
- 34:24Speaker 29: Oh okay, so anyway, just push a button, grab it
- 34:27Speaker 29: on the Miami What information director should just show up
- 34:30Speaker 29: with a with a what was one of those old
- 34:33Speaker 29: soundboards you know, used to using radio?
- 34:35Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, hot keys, the generator generates. We're on
- 34:39Speaker 1: to Miami.
- 34:40Speaker 2: We're focused on the process of getting ready for Miami.
- 34:44Speaker 29: Get five sound bites and then we'll you know, we'll
- 34:47Speaker 29: be fine.
- 34:47Speaker 1: So we'll move on tomorrow. Not the plug already, but tomorrow.
- 34:52Speaker 29: The NASCAR is making the change now sixteen drivers in
- 34:56Speaker 29: the Hunt tweet.
- 34:57Speaker 1: They're going to tweak their playoff format, you know, and this.
- 35:01Speaker 2: Is just the dumbest thing because you know what they've
- 35:03Speaker 2: done now, so you've got you know, how many more
- 35:06Speaker 2: championships would Jeff Gordon have won into the old system?
- 35:11Speaker 1: You know?
- 35:11Speaker 2: And you know, when Jimmy Johnson won his seventh, it's like,
- 35:15Speaker 2: would Jeff Gordon have won seven under the old system?
- 35:18Speaker 2: And then it becomes you know, Matt Kensith and who
- 35:21Speaker 2: you know, how many would of Carl Edwards would have
- 35:25Speaker 2: run won? Never mind, you know, the late Greg Biffel.
- 35:29Speaker 2: These are guys who you know, the system, and every
- 35:31Speaker 2: time they change the system, it becomes, oh, that's just
- 35:34Speaker 2: to benefit this team or another team.
- 35:36Speaker 1: Just sir, race the races.
- 35:39Speaker 2: The you know in NASCAR, Flag and Go and golf
- 35:43Speaker 2: is a lot of the same way. They're they're trying
- 35:45Speaker 2: to pretend to be the stick and ball sports where
- 35:48Speaker 2: there's a defined champion at the end of a season,
- 35:53Speaker 2: and you know, the FedEx Cup and golf, it's like
- 35:56Speaker 2: these touring championships come out, play this horse. This course
- 36:01Speaker 2: maybe is better for this player than that player, so
- 36:03Speaker 2: they're gonna win it. And then they're in the playoffs
- 36:05Speaker 2: and it's.
- 36:05Speaker 1: Just come stop it all.
- 36:08Speaker 2: Just race the races. It'll make them interesting.
- 36:12Speaker 1: You know, good T shirt, a T shirt for you?
- 36:16Speaker 2: Are you helping the sponsors? Are you helping the guy
- 36:19Speaker 2: you know in the US Army that sponsors a team
- 36:22Speaker 2: that didn't make the playoffs because he's never going to
- 36:24Speaker 2: be on camera in the playoffs. After that, does NASCAR
- 36:28Speaker 2: start to guarantee how many times somebody's hood logo shows
- 36:32Speaker 2: up on a Fox broadcast and it's it's just it's
- 36:36Speaker 2: becoming silly.
- 36:38Speaker 1: It just just race the races. I get you. I'm
- 36:41Speaker 1: gonna close with this today.
- 36:43Speaker 29: Totally understand Ever since the days of Ralph Sampson wearing
- 36:45Speaker 29: Adidas and shunning Adidas for Puma, and when Ronald Curry
- 36:49Speaker 29: decided to go with Nike and not signed with UVA
- 36:52Speaker 29: because UVA was not a Nike.
- 36:53Speaker 1: School at that time.
- 36:55Speaker 29: Stephen Curry and Caitlin Clark have plenty in common, certainly
- 36:58Speaker 29: when it comes to deep three. Isn't scoring the basketball
- 37:01Speaker 29: right now? There is another thread shoes. Curry's under armored
- 37:06Speaker 29: deal ended in November, and this past Sunday, the Golden
- 37:10Speaker 29: State guard wore a pair of Caitlin's Nike Kobe six
- 37:13Speaker 29: Player exclusives. I just love the names. Steph is not
- 37:17Speaker 29: signed with Nike yet. He did score thirty one against Atlanta.
- 37:21Speaker 1: But now the shoe that.
- 37:22Speaker 29: Caitlin is endorsing Curry is wearing, That's where we.
- 37:26Speaker 1: Need to be.
- 37:27Speaker 2: Is it the shoe?
- 37:28Speaker 1: Is it the shoe? Is it the shoe?
- 37:30Speaker 2: I was just I think the shoe, Michael, is it
- 37:32Speaker 2: the shoe?
- 37:34Speaker 28: You know?
- 37:34Speaker 2: I go back to that movie you know Air, you know,
- 37:37Speaker 2: with Matt Damon, and it's just, you know, we made
- 37:41Speaker 2: the shoe for you.
- 37:43Speaker 29: Yeah, written by That movie was written by Ben Affleck
- 37:45Speaker 29: and Matt Damon, by the way, and so they have
- 37:47Speaker 29: they have a new one coming up on Netflix Friday.
- 37:49Speaker 1: So anyway, there you go. I can't do any better
- 37:52Speaker 1: than that. That.
- 37:53Speaker 2: That's it movie reviews and and everything else.
- 37:56Speaker 1: Is it the shoes? Who are you wearing? Mac? Who
- 37:59Speaker 1: are you wearing? It's the red carpet?
- 38:02Speaker 20: Hi, It's Mark Falter, hosts of the Financial Fitness Show.
- 38:05Speaker 20: I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
- 38:08Speaker 20: penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately,
- 38:13Speaker 20: for most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case.
- 38:16Speaker 20: Why because most people spend more time planning next weekends
- 38:20Speaker 20: getaway than trying to ensure they're going to pay less
- 38:23Speaker 20: than taxes. My Financial Fitness team has put together some
- 38:26Speaker 20: materials that I know are going to help you. It's
- 38:29Speaker 20: the Tax Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit includes three things,
- 38:33Speaker 20: free tax analysis, top ten ways to pay less than taxes,
- 38:37Speaker 20: and an investor's guide to taxes. Now, how do you
- 38:41Speaker 20: get it? Simple? Eight six six seven six four six
- 38:45Speaker 20: three five and eighty six six seven six four two
- 38:50Speaker 20: six three five. I'm Mark falter. This is financial fitness,
- 38:54Speaker 20: making personal finance profitable.
- 39:04Speaker 24: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas. Yes,
- 39:09Speaker 24: actually three known gases. I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric oxide
- 39:15Speaker 24: is a gas that's readily made all day long to
- 39:19Speaker 24: keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 39:23Speaker 24: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
- 39:28Speaker 24: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 39:33Speaker 24: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this

- 40:38Speaker 31: than from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
- 40:42Speaker 31: the one for new macccle disease can protect adults from
- 40:44Speaker 31: illnesses that can cause mistays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
- 40:50Speaker 31: New macccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
- 40:54Speaker 31: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
- 40:57Speaker 31: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
- 41:00Speaker 31: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

- 42:06Speaker 28: you recognize them by their clothes, their age, the way
- 42:10Speaker 28: they speak. Would you notice a sixteen year old boy
- 42:14Speaker 28: who got his first.
- 42:15Speaker 19: Job for eks, for spending money, but to help feed
- 42:17Speaker 19: his little sisters.
- 42:19Speaker 28: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes
- 42:22Speaker 28: to bed hungry so her kids can have dinner. Or
- 42:26Speaker 28: a fourteen year old girl who signs up to every
- 42:28Speaker 28: after school activity not to make friends, but just to
- 42:31Speaker 28: get something to eat.

- 43:10Speaker 16: the press, freedom to peaceably assemble, freedom to petition the government.
- 43:15Speaker 16: Which freedom can you live without? Fortunately, the First Amendment

- 44:37Speaker 2: The first one to think of playing this song in
- 44:39Speaker 2: relation to Popo Leo to shoot him. I'm sure I
- 44:44Speaker 2: can't be the first person.
- 44:47Speaker 32: Into the other and all the queen Peaches les it baked,
- 44:55Speaker 32: so h Popo Leo.
- 44:58Speaker 2: Takes wokesm out behind the metaphorical woodshed, not from the pulpit.
- 45:06Speaker 2: I'd probably give him a little bit more grave gravitas
- 45:09Speaker 2: if he actually did it from the pulpit One Saturday,
- 45:13Speaker 2: you know, the he gets out into the parapets over
- 45:19Speaker 2: Saint Peter's Square and says, all y'all got to get over.
- 45:23Speaker 1: This woke crap. But as.
- 45:33Speaker 2: His point though about the wokeism being used as a
- 45:38Speaker 2: weapon to silence people is so spot on, He says,
- 45:48Speaker 2: it is painful to see, especially in the West, the
- 45:51Speaker 2: space for genuine freedom of expression is rapidly shrinking. Six
- 45:56Speaker 2: emails to JT in the Morning Radio Gmail dot with
- 46:00Speaker 2: various references to moments in history where the Catholic Church
- 46:06Speaker 2: has engaged in that but not under Pope Leo's leadership,
- 46:10Speaker 2: not today, and we all have them. You know, if
- 46:15Speaker 2: you went and asked every girl I ever dated in
- 46:18Speaker 2: my life, you think you'd get a great picture of
- 46:21Speaker 2: what the kind of person I am because some pimple
- 46:26Speaker 2: faced fifteen year old at the Flushing YMCA was a dork.
- 46:31Speaker 2: I mean, I may still be a dork. The pimples
- 46:33Speaker 2: have mostly gone away, and that's a bad look when
- 46:36Speaker 2: you're my age anyway, Pope Leo goes on to say.
- 46:39Speaker 2: At the same time, the new Orwellian style language is developing, which,
- 46:44Speaker 2: in an attempt to be increasingly inclusive, ends up excluding
- 46:49Speaker 2: those who do not conform to the ideologies that are
- 46:53Speaker 2: fueling it. And of course one text message from somebody
- 46:57Speaker 2: who claims to be a member of a Wiccan covenant.
- 47:03Speaker 2: At this moment in history, Pope Leo goes on to say,
- 47:06Speaker 2: at this moment in history, and reminding us that we're
- 47:09Speaker 2: talking about January thirteenth, twenty twenty six, freedom of conscience
- 47:16Speaker 2: seems increasingly to be questioned by states, even those that
- 47:21Speaker 2: claim to be based on democracy and human rights.
- 47:25Speaker 1: England. Of course, England and.
- 47:27Speaker 2: The Catholic Church have already had their run ins in
- 47:30Speaker 2: the past. This freedom, however, establishes a balance between the
- 47:36Speaker 2: collective interest and the individual dignity. It also emphasizes that
- 47:41Speaker 2: a truly free society does not impose uniformity, but protects
- 47:47Speaker 2: the diversity of consciences, preventing authoritarian tendencies and promoting an
- 47:54Speaker 2: ethical dialogue that enriches the social fabric. He also went
- 48:01Speaker 2: on to condemn jihadist violence, addressing the persecution of Christians,
- 48:12Speaker 2: especially called to the many victims of violence, including religiously
- 48:16Speaker 2: motivated violence in Bangladesh, in the Sahel Region and in Nigeria,
- 48:22Speaker 2: as well as those of the serious terrorist attack last
- 48:26Speaker 2: June on the parish of Saint Elias in Damascus. Nor
- 48:31Speaker 2: do I forget the victims of Jihadis violence in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique.
- 48:39Speaker 1: But this is so.
- 48:42Speaker 2: What a lot of Catholics are scratching their head about.
- 48:45Speaker 2: This is a kid who grew up in a world
- 48:50Speaker 2: where you're guaranteed the right to worship as you see fit.
- 48:55Speaker 1: There is no state religion.
- 49:00Speaker 2: Probably why we've never had a pope that grew up
- 49:04Speaker 2: in the United States before. A lot of conservative leaders
- 49:09Speaker 2: in the Catholic Church view America's independence, the separation of
- 49:14Speaker 2: church and state, et cetera as y, let's just say, problematic,
- 49:21Speaker 2: and that they want a pope who's going to be
- 49:23Speaker 2: all Catholic all the time, not accepting the idea that
- 49:28Speaker 2: somebody might not conform the idea was conformity by that?
- 49:35Speaker 2: And is this just Pope Leo's version of trying to
- 49:39Speaker 2: fill more pews by seeing seemingly more open to ideas
- 49:45Speaker 2: or is it getting back to Jesus's doctrine Like when
- 49:50Speaker 2: he visited with the fallen woman outside of Samaria. Remember,
- 49:58Speaker 2: even his boys, even the apos, ran into the city
- 50:01Speaker 2: to go find the elected officials and the leaders of
- 50:05Speaker 2: the community. And he sat down and he did his work.
- 50:09Speaker 2: This is why the books about him more than it
- 50:12Speaker 2: is about Peter and Paul. And it was refreshing to
- 50:20Speaker 2: hear the Pope say this, and you know and I
- 50:26Speaker 2: get the fact and more. Almost as much as telling
- 50:29Speaker 2: you the story of the Pope's comments, I wanted to highlight,
- 50:35Speaker 2: without being mean spirited, the fact that the trouble with
- 50:40Speaker 2: leading an organization like the Catholic churches. There are plenty
- 50:44Speaker 2: of places where the Catholic Church hasn't lived up to
- 50:47Speaker 2: what Pope Leo is talking about. So do you live
- 50:50Speaker 2: in the now or do you live in the debt?
- 50:52Speaker 2: Then do you throw the baby out with the bathwater,
- 50:56Speaker 2: or do you acknowledge that every now and then the
- 50:58Speaker 2: baby needs a bath? I stole that line from a
- 51:03Speaker 2: fellow doing a Thomas Jefferson presentation.
- 51:06Speaker 1: I was trying.
- 51:07Speaker 2: I scrubbed everything I had about Jefferson's writing. I never
- 51:11Speaker 2: could figure out if that was his point or if
- 51:13Speaker 2: that was something Jefferson once said. Seems like a much
- 51:19Speaker 2: more modern phrase. I don't think the eighteenth century Enlightenment
- 51:24Speaker 2: crowd was talking about throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
- 51:27Speaker 2: But I don't know. I just know evidence to one
- 51:31Speaker 2: side or the other.
- 51:37Speaker 1: But you have.
- 51:37Speaker 2: To look at words as a weapon. And I think
- 51:42Speaker 2: this is what Pope Leo was getting at in this,
- 51:46Speaker 2: you know, call it screed if you will, is that
- 51:54Speaker 2: those followers of Jesus are supposed to be about loving
- 51:58Speaker 2: one another, not using words as weapons against them. And
- 52:11Speaker 2: you know, hopefully this becomes a plank that we can
- 52:15Speaker 2: use to fight wokeism as well, because that's that's the
- 52:20Speaker 2: bigger issue, is this whole woke agenda is pushing us
- 52:27Speaker 2: further and further away from each other rather than closer together.
- 52:32Speaker 2: And we need to be together because otherwise Jesus is
- 52:49Speaker 2: still bringing it from Chicago.
- 52:51Speaker 17: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 52:55Speaker 17: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 52:57Speaker 1: It was metisry that came through for us, and there
- 53:00Speaker 1: there's no hassles, there was no problem.
- 53:02Speaker 17: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
- 53:05Speaker 17: of such an incredible ministry.
