- 0:03Speaker 1: I'm more mega now make America great again than I've
- 0:08Speaker 1: ever been.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
- 0:13Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 0:34Speaker 3: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
- 0:37Speaker 3: on this Ted's D the day we set aside, though
- 0:40Speaker 3: every day should be a Ted's D in abstract, but
- 0:43Speaker 3: we set it aside to draw attention to the idea
- 0:46Speaker 3: that you need to know what it is God has
- 0:48Speaker 3: gifted you to do. And this is the secret to happiness.
- 0:52Speaker 3: It's not the secret to not doing anything. It's a
- 0:55Speaker 3: secret to being happy working at what God has gifted
- 0:59Speaker 3: you on this planet to be able to do. Because
- 1:03Speaker 3: once you know what that is, it doesn't feel that way.
- 1:11Speaker 3: Constituency who reward you justly, and then you don't have
- 1:15Speaker 3: to worry about what the haters got to hate in
- 1:18Speaker 3: social media. And, you know, the people will flock to
- 1:23Speaker 3: you because they don't get it. What's his superpower? His
- 1:27Speaker 3: superpower is he knows what his superpower is. Because God
- 1:32Speaker 3: don't give you nothing if it ain't a superpower. 434-882-4217
- 1:39Speaker 3: is the number you're going to need because I'm about
- 1:42Speaker 3: to commence telling you what went on yesterday. And I'll
- 1:46Speaker 3: give you our analysis of it, certainly. But I want
- 1:49Speaker 3: to hear how it's impacting you where you are because
- 1:52Speaker 3: you are the singular most important local aspect of this
- 1:56Speaker 3: radio station. whether it's a teacher that was assigned to
- 2:04Speaker 3: counsel children with elementary school questions about, well, why is
- 2:09Speaker 3: everyone talking about my gender? So we can commit sexual assault.
- 2:15Speaker 3: Or a member of the U.S. House of Representatives getting wealthy,
- 2:19Speaker 3: not doing it the old-fashioned way, investing in stocks that
- 2:26Speaker 3: he or she knows are going to go up because
- 2:28Speaker 3: of legislation, but the old-fashioned way, just grifting off of
- 2:31Speaker 3: the government. And I want to go back because some
- 2:36Speaker 3: of the folks asking about the blue dress and whitewater
- 2:41Speaker 3: and all the other colors of Bill Clinton and why
- 2:44Speaker 3: I was comparing Ilhan Omar and this story to Bill Clinton,
- 2:48Speaker 3: it was just to warn you off the easily constructed
- 2:57Speaker 3: distraction off-ramp where we'll be more about beating her in
- 3:02Speaker 3: Congress than arresting her for the corruption and the theft
- 3:10Speaker 3: of all the money, which is what happened to Bill
- 3:13Speaker 3: Clinton as well. We got more interested in beating him
- 3:16Speaker 3: politically than we did in actually enforcing the law and
- 3:22Speaker 3: not allowing criminals to be successful at their crimes. But
- 3:26Speaker 3: our first thing, speaking of Department of Justice has escalated
- 3:32Speaker 3: their investigation. Subpoenas have been issued to members of her staff,
- 3:40Speaker 3: some of whom have been quoted in the media as
- 3:43Speaker 3: saying you need to look at her birth certificates and
- 3:48Speaker 3: her age when she emigrated. Pope Leo underwent lung surgery yesterday.
- 3:55Speaker 3: Doctors say they took off the lower lobe of his
- 3:59Speaker 3: right lung to address adenocarcinoma, this particular flavor of lung cancer.
- 4:05Speaker 3: There were no mentions from the Vatican of ongoing treatment.
- 4:10Speaker 3: Newly revealed text messages put into a different light, though
- 4:15Speaker 3: abstracted and only taken without context. Some of the text
- 4:20Speaker 3: messages between one of the male participants in the sexual
- 4:25Speaker 3: assault that is charged against Cornell's Chi Phi fraternity, and
- 4:30Speaker 3: the woman who was making the allegations. In one text,
- 4:33Speaker 3: she says, addressing rumors about the sexcapades, quote, it'll be
- 4:39Speaker 3: funny in a couple of months. Kimberly Guilfoyle, now former U.S.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Ambassador to Greece, acknowledged that her tenure is coming to
- 4:50Speaker 3: an end. She is resigning the position at the request
- 4:53Speaker 3: of the White House. However, she did say on social media,
- 4:56Speaker 3: Watchdog Group, the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington,
- 5:13Speaker 3: also known as CRU, wants to look at the work
- 5:17Speaker 3: product and the investigations into how the government would cut
- 5:23Speaker 3: money under Doge. They want to see how Doge came
- 5:27Speaker 3: to its determinations before advising the president. Supreme Court says
- 5:32Speaker 3: they will hear the administration's argument. A lower court said
- 5:36Speaker 3: the citizens for responsibility and ethics in Washington absolutely have
- 5:41Speaker 3: a right to see the process by which Elon Musk
- 5:45Speaker 3: and his team got the lists together. Saudi National is
- 5:52Speaker 3: apparently bugging the offices of OpenAI, according to charges filed
- 5:57Speaker 3: against Abdulrahman Alfazan, who worked as an engineer starting in
- 6:01Speaker 3: July of last year, finding listening devices in offices. and
- 6:07Speaker 3: a fall weather emergency has been called for the states
- 6:12Speaker 3: served by PJM Networks, including D.C., Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan,

- 7:02Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 7:07Speaker 6: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
- 7:12Speaker 6: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 7:17Speaker 6: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 7:22Speaker 6: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
- 7:27Speaker 6: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 7:31Speaker 6: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 7:35Speaker 6: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 7:38Speaker 6: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in

- 9:02Speaker 8: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
- 9:05Speaker 8: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
- 9:09Speaker 8: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
- 9:13Speaker 4: Oh, yes!
- 9:15Speaker 7: Yes!

- 9:57Speaker 10: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 10:02Speaker 10: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
- 10:08Speaker 10: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 10:12Speaker 10: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 10:15Speaker 10: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 10:21Speaker 10: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 10:24Speaker 10: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 10:27Speaker 10: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 10:32Speaker 10: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
- 10:36Speaker 10: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
- 10:40Speaker 11: Eat better. Get moving.

- 10:56Speaker 3: is not a limitation.
- 10:58Speaker 12: I'm Julius.
- 10:59Speaker 3: I'm a veteran.
- 11:00Speaker 2: My victory was going from homeless to home.

- 11:53Speaker 14: Should get matching tattoos on our first date?

- 12:29Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
- 12:32Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 12:35Speaker 3: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 12:39Speaker 3: and driving.
- 12:39Speaker 15: If you're drinking, call a cab, a car, or a friend.
- 12:42Speaker 18: Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message brought to you
- 12:45Speaker 18: by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
- 12:47Speaker 14: You know the legal drinking age is 21. You may
- 12:50Speaker 14: also know this law protects teens. Find out more at DontServeTeens.gov.

- 13:14Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 13:18Speaker 21: Everybody loves the American camp.
- 13:32Speaker 12: So in this issue with Ilhan Omar and.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Why am I so bent out of shape.
- 13:43Speaker 3: About it distracting from the corruption? From all the money
- 14:01Speaker 3: that was stolen for all the different things that it
- 14:04Speaker 3: was never intended for. Your taxpayer money. Bad enough they
- 14:08Speaker 3: laughably hand it to abortionists and people that you would
- 14:12Speaker 3: never give it to on your own. But then they
- 14:17Speaker 3: give it to people who just straight up steal it.
- 14:25Speaker 3: and send it off to Somalia or wherever they're sending
- 14:29Speaker 3: it to be used for whatever they're using it for.
- 14:36Speaker 3: This is the issue that, just like the blue dress,
- 14:45Speaker 3: Ilhan Omar is hoping, because she's committed a federal crime,
- 14:51Speaker 3: if she knowingly signed documents, Email here. Smithy4321 writing in.
- 15:07Speaker 3: One thing that is important in the Omar case is
- 15:09Speaker 3: that if she applied for a passport, she signed it
- 15:12Speaker 3: as true and correct under the penalty of perjury. So
- 15:15Speaker 3: the question becomes, when did she get the passport and
- 15:18Speaker 3: when was the last time it was renewed and what
- 15:21Speaker 3: birth date did she have on it? Well, that is probably...
- 15:26Speaker 3: going to be what hangs her out to dry if
- 15:29Speaker 3: she gets hung out to dry. But the beginning of
- 15:35Speaker 3: it is more phony baloney games being played to get
- 15:42Speaker 3: her U.S. citizenship. And this is where the pattern analysts
- 15:48Speaker 3: amongst us will stop and say, well, hold on a
- 15:50Speaker 3: second here. You know, marrying a questionable woman lineage falsifying documents.
- 16:01Speaker 3: Why was it so important to get this person.
- 16:06Speaker 4: U.S.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Citizenship? And that could be, you know, again, a smokescreen,
- 16:13Speaker 3: but the thing that she needs to go down for
- 16:16Speaker 3: is her implication in all of this Somali corruption in Minnesota.
- 16:24Speaker 3: Because what will happen is we will become fixated on
- 16:29Speaker 3: beating her politically by using this against her. Just like
- 16:34Speaker 3: we got distracted into believing we could use Monica Lewinsky
- 16:40Speaker 3: to beat Bill Clinton politically. That blew up in our face.
- 16:44Speaker 3: Rather than just simply using the existence of his lie.
- 16:54Speaker 3: to impeach his testimony regarding the McDougals and using his
- 17:00Speaker 3: office of governor of Arkansas to make him and his
- 17:03Speaker 3: family money. And it was because populists in the Republican
- 17:13Speaker 3: Party watching the media all of a sudden become fixated
- 17:18Speaker 3: because sex. on the story said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 17:23Speaker 3: forget Whitewater. Nobody gives a crap. Nobody gives a crap
- 17:26Speaker 3: about Whitewater. We're going to beat him politically by.
- 17:40Speaker 3: And you have to, we have to, because these political
- 17:45Speaker 3: types will do what they think we want them to
- 17:52Speaker 3: do so that they stay in their phony baloney jobs.
- 17:57Speaker 3: This is why I refer to Blazing Saddles as a documentary,
- 18:00Speaker 3: because if you want to understand what's going on, it's
- 18:02Speaker 3: all right there. So just like Bill Clinton, Ilhan Omar
- 18:11Speaker 3: is using her office to make her and her friends
- 18:13Speaker 3: lots of money. And by make, I mean take from taxpayers.
- 18:19Speaker 3: And not even really us, because the money Ilhan Omar
- 18:23Speaker 3: and the Somali pirates of Minnesota were stealing are really
- 18:28Speaker 3: our grandkids' taxes. I mean, they've long since spent any
- 18:37Speaker 3: money you and I can contribute to the government. So
- 18:46Speaker 3: they're busy spending our grandchildren's tax revenue collections. But, you know, Smithy,
- 18:55Speaker 3: you're right in the fact that there's document fraud, but
- 19:01Speaker 3: it begins with the application for citizenship because, and here's, yes,
- 19:07Speaker 3: the affidavit that's signed that say you swear the information
- 19:11Speaker 3: is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
- 19:18Speaker 3: is like Bill Clinton's lying under oath to Congress, the
- 19:23Speaker 3: criminal offense. But the beginning of it is lying on
- 19:27Speaker 3: the citizenship application, which begins this. And a quick reminder,
- 19:38Speaker 3: just as Barack Obama's birth certificate question was raised by
- 19:43Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton and her Pennsylvania campaign chair, Not by Donald Trump.
- 19:50Speaker 3: not by Newt Gingrich, not by Sean Hannity or Joe Thomas.
- 19:55Speaker 3: It was Hillary Clinton and her Pennsylvania campaign chair who said,
- 19:59Speaker 3: has anyone seen Barack Obama's birth certificate? This story begins
- 20:05Speaker 3: with Staffers from Ilhan Omar's own office dropping dime on
- 20:13Speaker 3: these inconvenient truths. Dropping dime on the fact that her
- 20:25Speaker 3: age was not what she purported it to be. The
- 20:29Speaker 3: documents don't match up. just like the Republican turned on
- 20:35Speaker 3: Kimberly Guilfoyle, what's his name, Tenney, because she had fumbled
- 20:44Speaker 3: the relationship with him, just as Ilhan Omar probably treats
- 20:51Speaker 3: her staff like serfs and minions, and after a while,
- 20:59Speaker 3: some of them decided they didn't like it, so they
- 21:03Speaker 3: called some people they have come to know in various
- 21:06Speaker 3: newsrooms and said, hey, you should look into... She lied
- 21:12Speaker 3: about her age because being 17 when she applied for
- 21:18Speaker 3: citizenship meant she just got it because she was semi-related
- 21:24Speaker 3: to a citizen. They're saying she was closer to 19.
- 21:32Speaker 3: when she actually filed that paperwork. Now, your relative opinion
- 21:39Speaker 3: of Ilhan Omar's politics, notwithstanding, she does have a baby face.
- 21:45Speaker 3: So I can see her passing off as two years
- 21:48Speaker 3: younger at the age of 19. Now, what that means
- 21:53Speaker 3: in the community she grew up in is a whole
- 21:56Speaker 3: different matter, but That's what they put down on her
- 21:59Speaker 3: immigration and naturalization.
- 22:02Speaker 6: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44
- 22:05Speaker 6: herbal supplements had no trace of the advertised herb. Don't
- 22:10Speaker 6: let that happen to you. Hi, this is Dr.

- 22:31Speaker 1: Would your car perform better with premium gas or regular?
- 22:35Speaker 1: What do octane ratings mean? I'm Ron Ananyan, The Car Doctor,
- 22:38Speaker 1: your automotive prescription, right after this.
- 22:41Speaker 22: Increase fuel economy up to 7.9% with Hot Shot Secret
- 22:45Speaker 22: Gasoline Extreme, the solution to maximize your engine's performance and

- 23:10Speaker 1: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
- 23:14Speaker 1: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
- 23:16Speaker 1: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
- 23:20Speaker 1: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
- 23:23Speaker 1: the rule. Many high-end or luxury vehicles call for premium
- 23:26Speaker 1: or higher octane fuel. And the reason for this is
- 23:29Speaker 1: not just due to the octane rating. There are better
- 23:31Speaker 1: fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know, too,
- 23:35Speaker 1: that vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
- 23:38Speaker 1: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
- 23:41Speaker 1: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
- 23:44Speaker 1: your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful, you may
- 23:47Speaker 1: find better performance and miles per gallon because you are
- 23:50Speaker 1: cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive. Just
- 23:53Speaker 1: don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them anytime soon.
- 23:56Speaker 1: With your automotive prescription, I'm Ron Anany and the Car Doctor.
- 23:59Speaker 1: See you next time.
- 24:04Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,

- 24:42Speaker 6: tingling in your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate
- 24:46Speaker 6: Nitric Oxide, can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide.

- 28:18Speaker 2: by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 28:21Speaker 3: I'm Ted Steele, morning. It is time for our sports director,
- 28:26Speaker 3: Mac McDonald, to open his notebook. And these are always
- 28:30Speaker 3: fun days because Mac spends most of his time in
- 28:34Speaker 3: between helping raise money for the Lunch Pail Foundation, who
- 28:37Speaker 3: sponsors his events here, his visits with us, brought to
- 28:41Speaker 3: you by the Lunch Pail Foundation, lunchpalldefense.com, and give money
- 28:47Speaker 3: and help them raise money for scholarships so kids can win,
- 28:50Speaker 3: as in what's next.
- 28:53Speaker 12: Shameless plug. Sorry, Joe, stepping all over you. Shameless plug
- 28:57Speaker 12: for this weekend. I met a guy at Bud's Golf
- 28:59Speaker 12: Tournament who was part of the T.C. Williams Remember the
- 29:05Speaker 12: Titans after Herman Boone arrived. He actually dated the daughter
- 29:12Speaker 12: of the assistant coach that is in the movie. It's
- 29:15Speaker 12: a great story. I talked to him last night. We're
- 29:18Speaker 12: doing a Remember the Titans... Flashback in real life. It's
- 29:24Speaker 12: going to be great because he attended the camps. You know,
- 29:28Speaker 12: he knows the whole story about Gary Pateer and the
- 29:31Speaker 12: guy who died and so on and so forth. All right,
- 29:34Speaker 12: first things first, the big story coming out of baseball,
- 29:39Speaker 12: slumping an injured child. Otani is going to play in
- 29:42Speaker 12: game three tonight. Dave Roberts, of course, talking to the
- 29:45Speaker 12: media and saying, look, we've talked to him. Shohei told
- 29:48Speaker 12: his manager, the skipper Roberts, he's close to finding something
- 29:53Speaker 12: with his swing and he wants to play.
- 29:56Speaker 9: So.
- 29:57Speaker 12: Roberts, a little history, even though Nick, you know, Nick
- 30:01Speaker 12: Saban told us success is momentary. And if you focus
- 30:05Speaker 12: on history, you'll never do anything in the future. However,
- 30:07Speaker 12: it worked for Freddie Freeman.
- 30:09Speaker 27: To be clear, it was never a benching. It's kind
- 30:12Speaker 27: of what we did with Freddie in 2024. In 2024,
- 30:16Speaker 27: he was ailing, wasn't feeling great. Give him a couple
- 30:18Speaker 27: of days potentially to then reset. He If you're not
- 30:23Speaker 27: feeling good enough that you can feel like you can
- 30:25Speaker 27: perform up to your ability, then we'll pivot. We'll give
- 30:28Speaker 27: you a couple days. And was close yesterday in finding
- 30:31Speaker 27: something mechanically. With that, I'm excited.
- 30:34Speaker 12: Yeah, whether he's in the leadoff spot or not, when
- 30:37Speaker 12: they introduce the roster card, we'll find out.
- 30:39Speaker 3: It was interesting because that relates to when the Phillies
- 30:42Speaker 3: decided that their resurrection needed to be imploded. And they
- 30:48Speaker 3: moved Bryce Harper back to the outfield. Yeah, the trading deadline.
- 30:53Speaker 3: And he said, I'll do it. But my production is
- 30:55Speaker 3: going to go down because I guess his argument is,
- 30:57Speaker 3: is playing the outfield was killing his legs by the
- 31:00Speaker 3: end of the season. So he was, you know, needing
- 31:03Speaker 3: more time off to rest his legs, you know, 33.
- 31:06Speaker 3: I mean, your legs just, you know, they, they're not
- 31:09Speaker 3: like they were when you were younger.
- 31:11Speaker 2: Okay.
- 31:12Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- 31:14Speaker 3: But no, I get it though. I get it though.
- 31:17Speaker 12: I'm saying, I'm saying overall the way the, the way
- 31:20Speaker 12: these guys, you know, this whole show, Hey thing is,
- 31:23Speaker 12: you know, I just think now because of the media,
- 31:25Speaker 12: there's just so much drama. There's just so much drama.
- 31:27Speaker 28: All right.
- 31:29Speaker 12: Last Friday, the CFP and the four letter reached the
- 31:33Speaker 12: end of a contract driven 30 day window in which
- 31:36Speaker 12: the network had exclusive negotiating rights to whatever the conferences
- 31:41Speaker 12: say the playoffs management committee. The field, I'm bringing this
- 31:45Speaker 12: up today because we've talked about it. The field of
- 31:49Speaker 12: 24 for 2027 is still in play. Now, I wrote a,
- 31:53Speaker 12: I told a talk show yesterday that the four letter
- 31:56Speaker 12: is holding the cards, but college football has pocket aces.
- 32:00Speaker 12: I was so proud of that line. I write three
- 32:02Speaker 12: lines a year. Anyway, Tony Patini said, now look, don't
- 32:05Speaker 12: worry about it. He says, whatever we do with expansion
- 32:07Speaker 12: is fine. He says, the bowl games are, are going
- 32:10Speaker 12: to be just fine.
- 32:11Speaker 20: But at the end of the day, I think there's
- 32:12Speaker 20: enough opportunities, enough good football teams, and there's enough interest
- 32:16Speaker 20: where people still want to watch at that time of year.
- 32:17Speaker 20: So I think those things will drive it. You know,
- 32:20Speaker 20: it has evolved a lot over the years, whether there
- 32:23Speaker 20: are other conference tie-ins and how you create matchups around
- 32:26Speaker 20: it and, you know, who survives going forward and how many,
- 32:29Speaker 20: you know, time will tell all of that. But there's
- 32:31Speaker 20: real interest, I can tell you from the Big Ten's perspective,
- 32:33Speaker 20: to support that system as hard as we can.
- 32:36Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah. So let's not worry about the field of
- 32:40Speaker 12: 24 when we put that together. You know, Greg Sankey
- 32:43Speaker 12: and the SEC, they're against it because of their playoff game.
- 32:48Speaker 12: The ACC is going, you know, 20,000 people in Charlotte,
- 32:51Speaker 12: we could do away with our championship game. So that's
- 32:54Speaker 12: the real sticking point. That is the argument. And that is,
- 32:58Speaker 12: you know, where we stand.
- 33:01Speaker 9: Okay.
- 33:01Speaker 12: One of my most despised people, and I'm on the
- 33:03Speaker 12: outside looking in, If I had dinner with him, maybe
- 33:08Speaker 12: I would think differently. I don't think I would because
- 33:10Speaker 12: I watched what Will Wade did to Boo Corrigan at
- 33:14Speaker 12: North Carolina State. how LSU rehires him after they fire
- 33:19Speaker 12: him for four years, and then they rehire him. Well, anyway,
- 33:23Speaker 12: the SEC, it made it clear yesterday in a 41-page
- 33:28Speaker 12: filing in federal court that they have accused LSU again
- 33:32Speaker 12: of lacking institutional control and having a, quote, stubborn refusal
- 33:37Speaker 12: to follow the conference's rule prohibiting former professionals from playing. Now,
- 33:42Speaker 12: The other day against McNeese State, LSU won an exhibition game,
- 33:46Speaker 12: which schools do. They won by three, 63-60 or whatever
- 33:50Speaker 12: it was. So now the league said it does not
- 33:53Speaker 12: have a meeting plan to discuss, you know, booting the
- 33:56Speaker 12: Tigers or getting rid of LSU or whatever. But now
- 33:59Speaker 12: because of what Will Wade is doing with his basketball roster,
- 34:03Speaker 12: He started with four guys, and he went all over
- 34:06Speaker 12: the country, whether they played pro or not, okay? And
- 34:10Speaker 12: the big story is R.J.
- 34:12Speaker 3: Lewis Jr., St.
- 34:13Speaker 12: John's, former NBA contract, even though they said he never played.
- 34:17Speaker 12: Here we go again at LSU and Baton Rouge. He's
- 34:21Speaker 12: got a UCLA transfer involved in an eligibility issue. Sky Clark,
- 34:27Speaker 12: a UCLA transfer involved in eligibility. He has gone all
- 34:31Speaker 12: over the world. Michael Ruzick, an international recruit. He was
- 34:35Speaker 12: cleared and he did play.
- 34:37Speaker 3: And it goes on.
- 34:37Speaker 12: This roster reconstruction goes on and on and on. And
- 34:42Speaker 12: then in the meantime, Will Wade continues to stand out.
- 34:46Speaker 12: and just literally snow the reporters and talk about Airbnbs
- 34:51Speaker 12: and Ubers that weren't invented, but now we're going to
- 34:55Speaker 12: continue to do what we do. Will Wade, to me,
- 34:58Speaker 12: is an absolute joke. He made fun of Lane Kiffin.
- 35:02Speaker 12: He goes, well, at least I'm not the most evil
- 35:04Speaker 12: now on campus.
- 35:05Speaker 4: Just because it's unconventional doesn't mean it's not going to work. Now,
- 35:08Speaker 4: it may not work. If it doesn't work, write about
- 35:10Speaker 4: what an idiot I am. I understand that.
- 35:13Speaker 19: But just because it's unconventional, like I told our guys,
- 35:15Speaker 19: we're going to be unconventional. We're going to be unapologetic
- 35:17Speaker 19: about it.
- 35:18Speaker 4: It is what it is. We're going to be unapologetic.
- 35:19Speaker 4: This is who we are. This is what we're doing.
- 35:21Speaker 4: This is the path that we charted. We're going to
- 35:23Speaker 4: go down it. And that's fine.
- 35:25Speaker 19: But, you know, just because it's unconventional and, hey, look,
- 35:27Speaker 19: I got it. When you do stuff that's unconventional, they're
- 35:29Speaker 19: waiting for you to fail. Everybody's waiting for us to fail.
- 35:31Speaker 4: That's fine. If we fail, I own it.
- 35:35Speaker 12: I have never wanted a basketball program in college to
- 35:39Speaker 12: go 10 and 18 in my entire life. I hope
- 35:42Speaker 12: Will Wade trips on his tongue, the way he handles.
- 35:45Speaker 12: I mean, I watched it all during, and again, not
- 35:48Speaker 12: the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I do know
- 35:50Speaker 12: something a little bit about coaches and how they work
- 35:52Speaker 12: with assistants and how they, you know, the class of
- 35:55Speaker 12: Ryan Odom. and the cesspool that is Will Wade and
- 35:58Speaker 12: his program. Okay, there's just a giant, giant, you know, difference.
- 36:02Speaker 3: Mac, don't hold back. Let us know what you really think.
- 36:05Speaker 4: No, I hope.
- 36:06Speaker 12: I hope Will Wade wins eight games.
- 36:09Speaker 3: They won't.
- 36:09Speaker 12: They'll probably be pretty good. But they played about, I
- 36:14Speaker 12: don't know, six of the guys that were– they played
- 36:17Speaker 12: them in the McNeese exhibition. And they've got another guy
- 36:20Speaker 12: who was a 2025 NBA draft pick, 58th, a European
- 36:25Speaker 12: named Yang, international target. So he's trying to get SEC clearance.
- 36:31Speaker 12: Bryce desert undrafted Europe international played pro, you know, and yes,
- 36:36Speaker 12: I understand that a lot of people are doing it.
- 36:38Speaker 12: Virginia did it too. Ryan Odom, you know, they, you know,
- 36:41Speaker 12: all of these other coaches, but it is will Wade's
- 36:45Speaker 12: ability just to step up and go, I'm going to
- 36:48Speaker 12: do it my way. I don't care what the sec says,
- 36:50Speaker 12: and I'm going to get this guy. We're going to
- 36:51Speaker 12: get this guy and we're going to play all these
- 36:53Speaker 12: pros and I don't care. I mean, he is just
- 36:56Speaker 12: an absolute.
- 36:57Speaker 3: If he's found a loophole, I mean, what's his job?
- 36:59Speaker 3: What is his job? And just, and I don't care.
- 37:02Speaker 12: Well, Wayne is the head basketball coach.
- 37:03Speaker 3: Well, but I'm saying, but what is his job is
- 37:05Speaker 3: to win basketball games to make people at the university happy.
- 37:09Speaker 12: That's what he says. That's what he keeps saying. I know,
- 37:11Speaker 12: you know, hey, my job is to win, you know, da, da, da, da, da. Uh,
- 37:15Speaker 12: we've got a pretty, his quote was, we've got a
- 37:17Speaker 12: good idea who we're going to play.
- 37:18Speaker 3: We're going to be okay.
- 37:19Speaker 12: November 3rd, we play new Orleans. That's a wheel for you.
- 37:21Speaker 12: He just, but I just, every time I hear will
- 37:24Speaker 12: Wade step up to a microphone, my skin crawls.
- 37:27Speaker 3: So I'm just, when he says he's playing new Orleans
- 37:30Speaker 3: on November 3rd, does he mean the, the, the. NBA
- 37:33Speaker 3: team or no.
- 37:34Speaker 12: LSU, New Orleans, November 3rd, the season.
- 37:37Speaker 3: Just want to make sure. I mean, you know, if
- 37:39Speaker 3: you want to play pros, play pros, you know.
- 37:42Speaker 12: Anyway, a great college football weekend is ahead. We start
- 37:45Speaker 12: to look at it tomorrow, Indiana. Ohio State, 12 noon Saturday.
- 37:50Speaker 12: Be there, be square.

- 38:01Speaker 17: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting,
- 38:05Speaker 17: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
- 38:09Speaker 17: the police? At a time when America's neighborhoods need the
- 38:13Speaker 17: protection of police the most, some elected officials would rather
- 38:17Speaker 17: create more chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of
- 38:20Speaker 17: elected officials caving in to demands of the radical left,
- 38:24Speaker 17: you're not alone. It's time we stand up and declare

- 39:04Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 39:09Speaker 6: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
- 39:14Speaker 6: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 39:18Speaker 6: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 39:23Speaker 6: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
- 39:28Speaker 6: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 39:33Speaker 6: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 39:36Speaker 6: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 39:40Speaker 6: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 39:42Speaker 6: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric oxide

- 40:33Speaker 23: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
- 40:37Speaker 23: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
- 40:42Speaker 23: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
- 40:45Speaker 23: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
- 40:49Speaker 23: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
- 40:53Speaker 23: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
- 40:57Speaker 23: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
- 41:00Speaker 23: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

- 41:14Speaker 23: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
- 41:17Speaker 23: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for

- 42:07Speaker 11: By their clothes, their age, the way they speak? Would
- 42:11Speaker 11: you notice a 16-year-old boy who got his first.
- 42:14Speaker 14: Job, not for extra spending money, but to help feed
- 42:17Speaker 14: his little sisters?
- 42:19Speaker 9: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes
- 42:22Speaker 9: to bed hungry so her kids can have dinner?
- 42:25Speaker 11: Or a 14-year-old girl who signs up to every after-school
- 42:28Speaker 11: activity not to make friends but just to get something
- 42:31Speaker 11: to eat. Or a retiree who fell ill and.
- 42:35Speaker 2: Had to choose between getting medicine or groceries.
- 42:40Speaker 11: I am the one in.
- 42:41Speaker 9: Eight Americans who struggle with hunger. People you pass by
- 42:45Speaker 9: every day but never knew were hungry.
- 42:48Speaker 11: I am hunger in America.

- 44:12Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:20Speaker 3: Our segment that we put before you for, I think,
- 44:26Speaker 3: expansion of knowledge is our Caring Beyond Cancer segment, where
- 44:30Speaker 3: we talk about not just the treatments and the things
- 44:33Speaker 3: that make headlines in the battle against the emperor of
- 44:37Speaker 3: all maladies as cancer, Ken Burns called it in his
- 44:41Speaker 3: great documentary about cancer. But, you know, and sometimes it's
- 44:48Speaker 3: just a mindset reset on, you know, where we are
- 44:53Speaker 3: with these. Dr. Carrie Rockman is on with us. It's
- 44:56Speaker 3: Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A lot of pink, a lot
- 45:00Speaker 3: of pink ribbons around. Dr. Rockman, thank you for taking
- 45:04Speaker 3: some time out. Good to hear from you again. How
- 45:05Speaker 3: are you doing?
- 45:06Speaker 15: Hi, Joe.
- 45:08Speaker 16: Good morning.
- 45:08Speaker 28: I'm good.
- 45:08Speaker 12: How are you?
- 45:09Speaker 3: Excellent. Now, I bring this up because news headlines out
- 45:13Speaker 3: of the Vatican, Pope Leo underwent, from what they say,
- 45:17Speaker 3: a successful lung surgery, removed a lobe of one of
- 45:22Speaker 3: his lungs with lung cancer, and his breast cancer. Sometimes
- 45:27Speaker 3: we start talking about these less well-known cancers, and we
- 45:33Speaker 3: forget that breast cancer, lung cancer, all these ones that
- 45:37Speaker 3: we've known about, and we've talked about a lot since
- 45:41Speaker 3: as far back as I can remember, are still very,
- 45:48Speaker 3: very prevalent and causing a lot of harm and a
- 45:51Speaker 3: lot of damage to people if we're not aware of them.
- 45:54Speaker 3: Am I overstating that?
- 45:57Speaker 16: No, I think you're exactly right.
- 45:59Speaker 28: I think You know, breast cancer is really common in
- 46:03Speaker 28: women in the United States.
- 46:04Speaker 16: It's one in eight of us gets breast cancer.
- 46:06Speaker 28: So if you just think about your family and friends
- 46:08Speaker 28: and think of eight women, it happens to a lot
- 46:12Speaker 28: of us.
- 46:12Speaker 16: It's very common.
- 46:13Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 46:14Speaker 16: And sometimes it can happen to men. It's unusual for men,
- 46:16Speaker 16: but it certainly can happen to men, too.
- 46:18Speaker 3: I have a personal friend who had breast cancer. And ironically,
- 46:23Speaker 3: the two men that I know that had them were
- 46:25Speaker 3: both drummers in rock and roll bands. So I don't
- 46:28Speaker 3: understand the connection there. But that's okay. But yeah, it's
- 46:32Speaker 3: a gland and men have mammary glands just like a
- 46:35Speaker 3: woman does for different, you know, they don't do the
- 46:38Speaker 3: same things, but they are there and they fall prey
- 46:41Speaker 3: to this. Talk about how the knowledge base has to
- 46:47Speaker 3: have grown, though, over time into where they come from,
- 46:51Speaker 3: you know, what we can do to fight them. Certainly
- 46:55Speaker 3: the ability to catch them early. My grandmother... Once the
- 46:59Speaker 3: autopsies were done, they said, well, her cancers probably started
- 47:03Speaker 3: in her breast and spread to her lymph glands and
- 47:06Speaker 3: then to her bones. And by the time anyone caught
- 47:09Speaker 3: it in 1976, it was everywhere. And just 10 years later,
- 47:17Speaker 3: her daughter feels a lump because the world had started
- 47:21Speaker 3: being told about self-exams and things like that. Goes in,
- 47:25Speaker 3: finds breast cancer. That's treated as an outpatient surgery. It
- 47:30Speaker 3: was done in the office. She didn't have to go
- 47:33Speaker 3: into the hospital, just a couple of radiations afterwards. But
- 47:37Speaker 3: they did a lumpectomy, took it out, and she was
- 47:40Speaker 3: fine for three decades longer. So just in the blink
- 47:46Speaker 3: of an eye, our knowledge base about early detection and
- 47:50Speaker 3: a thing like that. But talk about what we've known
- 47:52Speaker 3: and what we've learned about breast cancer and some of
- 47:55Speaker 3: these prevalent cancers and beating them.
- 47:58Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 48:00Speaker 28: Even though the cancer rates aren't going down, it's still
- 48:03Speaker 28: really a common and prevalent cancer, as you say. Our
- 48:07Speaker 28: ability to treat it and detect it early has really improved.
- 48:10Speaker 28: And every decade, we make just incredible strides. And what
- 48:15Speaker 28: we've noticed over time and one thing that we've really
- 48:17Speaker 28: learned is that breast cancer is not one disease.
- 48:20Speaker 16: There's so many different types of tumors.
- 48:22Speaker 7: Wow.
- 48:23Speaker 28: And so all of our treatments are becoming much more
- 48:25Speaker 28: individualized for the patient.
- 48:27Speaker 16: And then so are our screening recommendations.
- 48:30Speaker 28: You know, my risk might be totally different than my
- 48:32Speaker 28: best friend's risk. And so what we look at is
- 48:35Speaker 28: our history, what our breast density is, what the breasts
- 48:39Speaker 28: are made of, if you've had prior history of biopsies,
- 48:43Speaker 28: and all of those things can go into a really
- 48:45Speaker 28: personalized study. risk model so we can help find the
- 48:48Speaker 28: right screening strategy to catch it early, but not do
- 48:52Speaker 28: over-screening or over-treatment for folks that may never get cancer.
- 48:57Speaker 3: And that's one of the things that I think is
- 48:59Speaker 3: most important about this is that, I guess, you know,
- 49:04Speaker 3: back in the 1970s, we thought cancer was one thing.
- 49:08Speaker 3: And I often compare cancer to something like homelessness. And
- 49:12Speaker 3: politicians will talk about fighting homelessness like it all comes
- 49:16Speaker 3: from the same place. And there's just this one thing, well,
- 49:19Speaker 3: if we stop doing that one thing, we'll stop having homelessness.
- 49:22Speaker 3: The same is true about cancer. It seems to be
- 49:25Speaker 3: the more we know, the more we don't know.
- 49:29Speaker 16: That's very true. That is very true.
- 49:31Speaker 28: And I love, though, in medicine that we really have
- 49:33Speaker 28: moved to this personalized approach. You know, there are sort
- 49:36Speaker 28: of general screening guidelines, get screened once a year, get
- 49:38Speaker 28: your mammogram, but we can do better than that. We
- 49:41Speaker 28: have different types of mammograms. We also have other tests
- 49:44Speaker 28: like breast MRI. And so we can make it really individualized.
- 49:48Speaker 28: And that, I think, has really helped us tremendously.
- 49:51Speaker 3: Yeah. And so you talk about the prevalence of its occurrence,
- 49:55Speaker 3: but it's the statistics regarding its your survival rate and
- 50:00Speaker 3: that kind of thing have gone way up, haven't they, Dr. Rockman?
- 50:05Speaker 28: Yes, survivals are so much better. And if you look
- 50:07Speaker 28: at the 70s, 80s, 90s, mortality continues to decline. So
- 50:11Speaker 28: fewer people die of breast cancer, which means survival is
- 50:14Speaker 28: going up.
- 50:15Speaker 16: And that's very reassuring.
- 50:17Speaker 28: Treatments are getting better, early detection getting better, and patients' benefits.
- 50:22Speaker 3: And some of this month is designed to help the
- 50:26Speaker 3: support systems. Those are better as well, aren't they?
- 50:31Speaker 16: Absolutely.
- 50:31Speaker 28: And I think that's one of the things I really
- 50:33Speaker 28: love about being able to live and work in Charlottesville
- 50:37Speaker 28: and with UVA is we have so many great services.
- 50:40Speaker 28: It's not just the doctors that find the cancer and
- 50:42Speaker 28: treat the cancer, but everything around it.
- 50:45Speaker 16: Nutrition, genetic counselors.
- 50:48Speaker 28: Physical therapists, folks that get you back on your feet
- 50:51Speaker 28: and back to normal as quick as possible.
- 50:54Speaker 3: And knowing that and being able to target that, that's
- 50:58Speaker 3: also important as well. But we know some of the things,
- 51:01Speaker 3: and we talk about this for a lot of things,
- 51:03Speaker 3: the better health you are going into a scenario of
- 51:07Speaker 3: cancer treatment, the better your chances are of having an
- 51:11Speaker 3: easy or an easier recovery, correct?
- 51:15Speaker 16: Absolutely, yes. And, you know, these things are stressful. They're
- 51:19Speaker 16: hard on the body.
- 51:21Speaker 28: And the better shape that we're in going into it,
- 51:23Speaker 28: the better we can deal with it and the better
- 51:25Speaker 28: we can bounce back. So it's not just about getting
- 51:28Speaker 28: your mammogram in October. It's also just taking care of yourself.
- 51:31Speaker 28: Maintain a healthy weight.
- 51:32Speaker 16: Be active. Eat well. Sleep well.
- 51:35Speaker 28: All of those things will help you. So if it
- 51:37Speaker 28: does happen, you've got the best chances.
- 51:39Speaker 3: Well, and definitely take advantage. I know so many hospital
- 51:43Speaker 3: systems now have mobile devices. units that go out into
- 51:47Speaker 3: the communities at large around them and more opportunities. You mentioned,
- 51:51Speaker 3: you know, easier without having to go into the much
- 51:54Speaker 3: more intrusive mammograms, but ways to do it. Dr. Rockman,
- 51:59Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Anything breaking on the horizon? Anything, you know,
- 52:04Speaker 3: that's about to break through that we're going to find
- 52:06Speaker 3: out about soon?
- 52:09Speaker 28: In my world in breast imaging, it's how to take
- 52:12Speaker 28: care of women that have that dense breast tissue. And
- 52:14Speaker 28: we're doing a type of mammogram called a contrast enhanced
- 52:17Speaker 28: mammogram that shows us where blood flow goes and it
- 52:20Speaker 28: shows us what the anatomy looks like. And that really
- 52:23Speaker 28: is the best tool that we have for women with
- 52:26Speaker 28: dense breast tissue. A couple other tests we also have
- 52:28Speaker 28: that we offer if women can't have a contrast mammogram,
- 52:32Speaker 28: but we're really excited about that technology and we're excited
- 52:35Speaker 28: to see it reach more women.
- 52:38Speaker 3: Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Dr. Rockman, thank you so much
- 52:41Speaker 3: for taking some time out with us this morning.
