  Speaker 3: he needs.
• 0:25
  Speaker 5: No wonder Joe's always smiling, he only aims.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: To please you.
• 0:34
  Speaker 6: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:36
  Speaker 6: this morning. Here's how it works. I will tell you
• 0:41
  Speaker 6: what went on last night. I will give you my
• 0:44
  Speaker 6: analysis of it. But I want to hear how it
• 0:47
  Speaker 6: or any other things are impacting you where you are.
• 0:50
  Speaker 6: The single most important local aspect of the radio station
• 0:54
  Speaker 6: is you. And if we don't have you, we don't
• 0:57
  Speaker 6: got nothing. Un gots is what they used to say
• 1:00
  Speaker 6: in my neighborhood growing up. So please let us know
• 1:06
  Speaker 6: how the news of the day is impacting you, and
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: we will add it to the coverage for all. And
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: you do that through 434-882-4217. That's the phone number. Emails
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: come in to jtinthemorningradio at gmail.com. Remiss to also point
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: out that when you make those comments, you can make
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: them to text message as well. at JoeThomas at 434-882-4217.
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: John McGuire asked to hang on because I had mentioned
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: right as we were finishing up with him the energy
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: prices and the energy costs and how much that is
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: hitting the American taxpayer, and he wanted to make a
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: point because he apparently has been listening. John, go ahead.
• 2:00
  Speaker 7: If we used to have 250 refineries in the United States,
• 2:03
  Speaker 7: now we have 130. Closed down a bunch of them
• 2:05
  Speaker 7: during the Biden administration.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: So I did the research.
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: If we had those 250 refineries open today, No matter
• 2:13
  Speaker 7: what happens in the world, no matter what happens in
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: the Middle East, we would have $ 2 a gallon fuel.
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: But we've weakened our ability to refine so much. We
• 2:23
  Speaker 7: shut down almost 50% of our coal plants. We are
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: producing more crude oil in the United States than Saudi
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: Arabia or Russia.
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: Nobody thought that would happen. But we can't refine it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: And Secretary Doug Berger and Secretary of Interior and I
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: had a meeting about a week or so ago.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: And I said, help me understand what's going on. And
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: he said, John, even if.
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: You tripled our crude oil production, because we're drilling now
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: for the first time in 50 years, we couldn't lower
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: the cost because we shut down our refineries.
• 2:50
  Speaker 8: It's like suicide.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: So we brought up many times, it's refined, baby, refined. McGuireVA.com. John,
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: thank you, sir. House Armed Services Committee, House Committee on

• 3:31
  Speaker 6: on Ilhan Omar's Washington, D.C., the Democrat from Minnesota. Under
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: the investigation of the Department of Justice, President Trump said

• 4:47
  Speaker 6: span multiple federal jurisdictions and involve alleged violations during the
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: 2022 and 2024 elections. They also include illegally obtaining U.S.

• 10:02
  Speaker 17: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 17: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 17: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 17: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 17: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:24
  Speaker 17: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 17: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 17: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 17: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 13: Eat better.

  Speaker 18: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:55
  Speaker 18: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 19: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 14: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: I can probably swim.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Cannonball!
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: Cramp!
• 12:13
  Speaker 12: I have a cramp.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: Probably.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 10: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 11: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 14: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 14: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 14: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
• 12:45
  Speaker 14: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.

• 13:12
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: But if you ever go back in the woody swamp, well,
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: you better not go at night.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: There's things out there in the middle of the woods that.
• 13:29
  Speaker 13: Make a strong man die to cry.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Things that crawl and things that fly, things creep around
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: on the ground. And they say the ghost of Lucius
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: Clay gets up and he walks around, but I.
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: Couldn't believe it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: No, you can't. I mean, some of the things that
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: walk around that swamp, you know, it's interesting. Kimberly Guilfoyle
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: in her pushback on these allegations that she wrote on
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: this guy Dieter's plane. I know that's not a metaphor
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: for something. She says, well, I cleared it with the
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: State Department. OK, these are the same State Department people
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: that said, you know, sure, General Flynn, you can go
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: ahead and make that phone call. These are the same folks.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: We get a couple of emails here and we have
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: folks on the phone. We were talking about what's happening
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: to the country and the swamp is over the last
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: generation or six have been piling legislation on top of
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: legislation until our country looks like a hoarder house, municipally anyway.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: The code of America is just piles and piles and
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: piles of books. Somewhere under there is the Bill of Rights.
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: Somewhere under there is the U.S. Constitution. We were talking
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: about you know, the First Amendment and all these things
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: that they're already beginning to make the case.
• 14:50
  Speaker 10: You don't need that.
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: Hey, what do you need the First Amendment for? What
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: do you say that needs protection? You'd never get into
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: those kind of conversations. That's right. I just post pictures
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: of my lunch to Facebook. Well, as long as they're
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: approved lunches, right? USDA wants to. What do you mean?
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: What if I just grow some carrots in my backyard?
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: I don't know, USDA carrot farmer subsidies. So after pointing
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: that out, Charles writes in, pictures of your lunch? Can
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: you post pictures of your lunch as long as everything
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: is halal and there are no pictures of dogs?
• 15:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah, that's right.
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: Can I post pictures of my bacon, lettuce, and tomato
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: sandwich in New York City? while walking my dog. This
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: one about Ilhan Omar and the raid. Does anyone honestly
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: believe that Nun Zero Nada Zippo of the millions of
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: dollars of fraud perpetrated by Somali pirates in Minnesota made
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: its way to the pockets of Ilhan Omar? If so,
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: anyone wanting to sell a bridge in Brooklyn should track
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: down those believers. Well, you know, gullibility should be one
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: of our vices. Maybe we should petition to make an
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: eighth vice out of gullibility there.
• 16:21
  Speaker 10: Good morning.
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: You are on the air with Joe first thing this morning.
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: Who's this?
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: Hey, this is Moscow Bob. Let's talk about the oil situation.
• 16:31
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: If it wasn't for Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: Jeffries back when Trump was in office, when he wanted
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: to completely refill the reserves, when oil was under $ 30
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: a barrel, we wouldn't be in this situation right now.
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: The Democrats have not solved the Iran situation. If they
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: wouldn't have gave them all those billions of dollars, we
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: wouldn't be in this situation. If the Democrats took action
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: when they should have, instead of bowing to all the
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: Muslim ayatollahs, which Barack Obama is one of, he did it.
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: He converged, gave them what they wanted, and what has
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: it got us? Soldiers killed, high gasoline prices, all because
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: of the Democratic Party. All the Republicans should be asking
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: their politicians in these debates, Why did you vote against
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: refilling the.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: Reserves when Trump was in office?
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: It was just because it was Donald Trump doing something
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: good for.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: Our country once again.
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: Every time Donald Trump tries to do something good for
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: our country, the Democrats say no and don't let it happen.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: Well, and a coalition of Republicans like Lisa Murkowski. And
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: here's the thing about that is that I get emails
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: all the time. You just sound like you're a hack
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: for Donald Trump. You just sound like, you know, and
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: here's why I don't go out and, you know, when
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump says, I'm going to give everyone $ 5, 000 if
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: Republicans win and Republican friends of mine lose their bowel
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: control over it. They soil their pants almost immediately.
• 18:16
  Speaker 10: He can't do that.
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: Um, Why don't you let it play out? And what
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: I've learned since 2017 is you need to let what
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump is trying to do play out. And I
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: know people say, oh, it's dangerous because, you know, they
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: let Hitler's fascism play out and it was too late.
• 18:34
  Speaker 10: No, it wasn't. We beat him.
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: It took a lot, but we beat him. I have
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: more faith in American people than that. And whether you
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: think that's ill-placed or not. When Donald Trump says, I'm
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: going to give everyone $ 5, 000 if Republicans win, is that
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: a tax cut? Is it a tax rebate? Is it
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: Obamacare finally being repealed? You tell me where the money
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: is coming from, but nobody has questioned whether he can
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: or not. They just lose their minds over the fact
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: that he says it. So when Donald Trump says, I'm
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: going to end this war in Iran before the midterms,
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: I'm I kind of give him the benefit of the
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: doubt on him doing that. And I said this the
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: other day, Bob, that Donald Trump's doctrine, if you will,
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: his international affairs doctrine, and this is what has Tucker
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: Carlson and Candace Owens and all these people butthurt out there,
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: is that he has realized that Funny enough, I think
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: Barack Obama and Joe Biden both scolded us as conservatives
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: into thinking, well.
• 19:49
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: you've got to live in the world. This is a
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: world economy. So Trump has gone out there and saying,
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: if America is going to be great, we have to
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: have good relations with all these other pikers around the world.
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: And we have to have their respect more than just,
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: you know, their appreciation of our bags of money. And
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: so Trump's doctrine is, I will talk to anyone, Vladimir Putin,
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: Vladimir Zelensky, Kim Jong-un, Chairman Xi, Mahmoud Prezikian, all these folks.
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: He doesn't care. And this is how he's managed to
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: get Arab nations, more Arab nations than than ever before
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: working with Israel against countries like Iran and the Houthi rebels,
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: because he talks to people, he engages them. He doesn't
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: act like, oh, you know, like it's high school and
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: I just don't speak to you. I'm never speaking to
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: you again, because that's been our foreign policy under people
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: like Barack Obama. Trump's like, I'll talk to anybody. I'll
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: talk to anybody. Look, Greenland is a great example. Everyone
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: lost their bowel control over Greenland You let it play out. Oh,
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: hold it. There's a deal between Denmark and the United
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: States that United States takes over oversight and defense of Greenland.
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: Huh?
• 21:09
  Speaker 20: Really?
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: That's all Trump said he was going to do from
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: the get-go. Let it play out.
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: Very true. And that's the whole thing. It's just like
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: what's going on with Ukraine and Russia. Zelensky's never going
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: to have an election. The 60 days is just for
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: him to get time to rebuild everything and get more
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: Patriot missiles and more ammunition so he can continue the war.
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: He knows if there's an election, he will lose. Plus,
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: they will not let supposedly the Ukrainian citizens in Crimea
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: and the Ukrainian citizens in the People's Donetsk Republic vote.
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: So what good is the election?
• 21:47
  Speaker 21: It's a sham election.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: Well, the danger is you've got a lot of folks
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: with arms right now. And if he's that unpopular, That's
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: not going to turn out well for him either if
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: all those folks fighting Russian soldiers turn around, Bob.
• 22:01
  Speaker 19: Hey, I'm Brant, and her name is Sherry.
• 22:03

  Speaker 22: to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports veterinary teams
• 23:21
  Speaker 22: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,

  Speaker 22: as with any new technology, always keep a human in
• 23:40
  Speaker 22: the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: AI is a powerful tool.

  Speaker 23: And nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all
• 24:17
  Speaker 23: day long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the

  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: That is us. Time for our sports director, Mac McDonald.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: I was thinking of you last night because we have
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: this great affiliate who only gets the first hour of
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: the program. But I know some of the folks who
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: listen on my 1570 out of Youngstown do download the
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: podcast because I see where you're downloading it from. That
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: didn't creep you out, did it?
• 28:38
  Speaker 16: No.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: It's just cookies. It's just cookies. So I was watching
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: this rally in Youngstown last night, and John Gruden, I
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: don't know if he's trying to get his Tommy Tuberville
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: on and build on a career in politics or something,
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: but he's been doing all these Trump rallies in Ohio.
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: And I guess from what Trump said in the speech
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: last night, He played ball with John Husted, the Senate candidate. Oh, yeah,
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: he's my guy. He played ball with me. He was
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: an all pro or whatever. 32 spider wide banana. You know,
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: that's the call.
• 29:21
  Speaker 10: Thank you, sir. I got to go. Yeah, there was
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: a comment the other day. Sorry to interrupt you. There
• 29:27
  Speaker 10: was a comment that Gruden made the other day. Somebody
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: interviewed him. Are you just still itching to get back
• 29:33
  Speaker 10: to college? I don't have to coach. I have a
• 29:35
  Speaker 10: grade here, man. I got a grade here. I'm in Tampa.
• 29:38
  Speaker 10: I'm good to see. I've got it. I've got it all.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: So anyway, the quarterbacks come to him. He doesn't have
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: to go to the quarterbacks anymore.
• 29:44
  Speaker 10: I still got to find him. I think Bud knows
• 29:48
  Speaker 10: him or at least they've had interactions, but Foster. And
• 29:52
  Speaker 10: so I'm going to do everything I can to just
• 29:55
  Speaker 10: to shake his hand or say hello at least once.
• 29:57
  Speaker 10: He has no idea. how we cried together the night
• 30:01
  Speaker 10: of the tuck rule. All right. So anyway, we'll talk
• 30:03
  Speaker 10: baseball first. And then Dan Quinn, Dan Quinn says, yes,
• 30:07
  Speaker 10: I've heard the noise. I understand.
• 30:09
  Speaker 27: Okay.
• 30:10
  Speaker 10: Shohei has become the no show. Hey, last night, again,
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: to the Dodger icon went over for struck out twice.
• 30:17
  Speaker 10: And now Dodger skipper, Dave Roberts will speak with Otani
• 30:20
  Speaker 10: prior to game three tomorrow night. He has had knee
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: and biceps issues. Yes, could be an issue, but he
• 30:27
  Speaker 10: he possibly could be rested and actually benched. You know,
• 30:31
  Speaker 10: that's a strong word, but he could be benched. But
• 30:33
  Speaker 10: Dave Roberts says, wait, I know he's still still showing.
• 30:39
  Speaker 20: It's not what. We all expect what he expects from himself.
• 30:42
  Speaker 20: But I do feel that just the talent, the care,
• 30:47
  Speaker 20: it's going to happen. So I think it's just up
• 30:48
  Speaker 20: to all of us to keep winning baseball games. And
• 30:51
  Speaker 20: then at some point.
• 30:53
  Speaker 10: He's going to come to life. Yeah, he was striking
• 30:54
  Speaker 10: twice last night. He waved at a third strike. In
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: six games, the show is– postseason now. The show is
• 31:01
  Speaker 10: three for 20. 151. On-base percentage of just 261. No dingers,
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: no RBIs, seven strikeouts. So when you've got a guy
• 31:11
  Speaker 10: of that magnitude and that talent, you know, that's the way.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: Who was the guy? Steinbrenner went after Dave Winfield for that.
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: Yes, exactly.
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: He's no Reggie.
• 31:24
  Speaker 10: Yeah, well, Reggie didn't have the best until he hit
• 31:27
  Speaker 10: the three home runs. Anyway, to be or not to be, Fired.
• 31:32
  Speaker 10: Dan Quinn is facing questions about his job security now
• 31:35
  Speaker 10: following the Washington Commanders meltdown on the final play of
• 31:38
  Speaker 10: Overtime Sunday. If you know how YouTube works, if they
• 31:41
  Speaker 10: have a press conference or press conference live, you have
• 31:44
  Speaker 10: a chance to interact. The fans yesterday, they spoke. Oh,
• 31:50
  Speaker 10: they spoke. So Dan Quinn facing questions about his job,
• 31:54
  Speaker 10: of course. And we'll be talking about this for a
• 31:56
  Speaker 10: long time. Not me, but the sporting world about the
• 32:00
  Speaker 10: The Commanders meltdown, final play, overtime Sunday. And Dan Quinn
• 32:05
  Speaker 10: trying to answer the Boo Birds saying, look, we understand
• 32:09
  Speaker 10: it's all about execution. I wonder how he uses that word.
• 32:12
  Speaker 16: I got that across. The resilience, the toughness, they're able
• 32:15
  Speaker 16: to handle adversity. We've got to get our execution nailed down.
• 32:19
  Speaker 16: We have to be the team that we can be
• 32:21
  Speaker 16: and we're capable of being that. And that was the
• 32:24
  Speaker 16: message that was loud and clear today. That has to
• 32:27
  Speaker 16: be a number one top of the pile.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:29
  Speaker 10: And I, you know, Dan, I'd be worried about execution too.
• 32:32
  Speaker 10: Not so much on the field.
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: Wasn't that your buddy, the UVA basketball coach that was
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: asked about it? you know, what do you think about
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: your team's execution? And he said, well, I'm thinking it
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: might be a good idea.
• 32:44
  Speaker 10: Yeah, Pete Gillen. Pete Gillen always said, you know, he
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: had the great, he goes, I got a lot of shooters.
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: What I need are makers. So I did, yeah, he's
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: the best. Okay, so that's the same way with Dan Quinn.
• 32:58
  Speaker 10: He understands the noise and he understands, you know, his
• 33:03
  Speaker 10: interview with Josh Harris, the owner. He understands what people
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: are mad about.
• 33:09
  Speaker 16: You want this execution to be what we work at,
• 33:12
  Speaker 16: what we, you know, emphasize during the week. So, um, look, man, my,
• 33:17
  Speaker 16: my number one responsibility is like help the players and
• 33:20
  Speaker 16: the coaches be at their best, man. And when we don't,
• 33:23
  Speaker 16: I'm pissed about it too.
• 33:24
  Speaker 20: So that's where I'm at.
• 33:26
  Speaker 10: Well, he also should understand that one, three and one
• 33:29
  Speaker 10: ain't going to get it done. And he also should
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: understand that a quarterback has been in the league three years.
• 33:33
  Speaker 10: I'd understand the time. and just be a little smarter
• 33:37
  Speaker 10: at that point. Dan Quinn said that early in the drive,
• 33:40
  Speaker 10: before that final drive, we talked about everything, the execution
• 33:44
  Speaker 10: of the clock, all that stuff. How could it be
• 33:46
  Speaker 10: so badly botched? Anyway, I won't beat a dead horse.
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: We will move on. All right, James Madison is going
• 33:54
  Speaker 10: to leave the Sunbelt Conference and join the American Conference
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: no later than... Then July 1 of 2028. So the
• 34:01
  Speaker 10: school made that announcement yesterday. JMU joined the Sun Belt
• 34:04
  Speaker 10: in 2022 because they went to the FBS from Division
• 34:08
  Speaker 10: I's football championship subdivision. So the Dukes found immediate success.
• 34:13
  Speaker 10: The American Conference, the richest of the group of six
• 34:17
  Speaker 10: with full football playing members. Now you're talking about Army, Charlotte,
• 34:23
  Speaker 10: East Carolina, Memphis.
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: Navy too, yeah.
• 34:26
  Speaker 10: Florida Atlantic. I'm thinking, yeah, Tulsa Temple, Tulane. I remember
• 34:29
  Speaker 10: the T's. South Florida. I think Navy. Yeah, Navy's in
• 34:32
  Speaker 10: the American rights. So anyway, with all that being said,
• 34:36
  Speaker 10: JMU is thinking about making a move. And yeah, they're
• 34:39
  Speaker 10: having that kind of year.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: Well, it's also a major market. I realized how much money.
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: So the TV rights is four times or three, a
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: little bit more than three times as much for the
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: American because you're in Philadelphia.
• 34:54
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: You're in San Antonio. You're in Charlotte. I mean, these
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: are major metropolitan TV markets for this. This has actually
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: got better TV markets than the ACC.
• 35:06
  Speaker 27: Yeah.
• 35:06
  Speaker 10: No, no, no, no.
• 35:07
  Speaker 27: I know.
• 35:07
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 35:08
  Speaker 10: When you, when you look at the schools, I just,
• 35:10
  Speaker 10: I just talked about, cause you got the whole metro area, Washington, DC, right.
• 35:14
  Speaker 10: So that you got, you got Charlotte, Carolina, a lot
• 35:17
  Speaker 10: of Florida. I mean, Florida Atlantic and South Florida and
• 35:22
  Speaker 10: so on and so forth. So one of the things that,
• 35:25
  Speaker 10: because I know the commission of a major league baseball
• 35:27
  Speaker 10: has been doing some, you know, talking and with press conference,
• 35:31
  Speaker 10: you get it. We try to, because they're trying to
• 35:33
  Speaker 10: avoid the arbitration and all the, you know, the strike
• 35:36
  Speaker 10: talk as you know, we, and I, and I've been enjoying,
• 35:39
  Speaker 10: you know, again, if I can sit down at five
• 35:41
  Speaker 10: o'clock and tell my wife to hold off dinner until seven,
• 35:44
  Speaker 10: seven 30, we're okay. I just turned the sound down once,
• 35:47
  Speaker 10: you know, she'll be talking to me and I'll be going, Oh,
• 35:49
  Speaker 10: wait a minute. There's a guy on third. What she,
• 35:51
  Speaker 10: you know, you know, anyway, major league baseball wants to
• 35:54
  Speaker 10: cut the number of regular season games from one 62
• 35:57
  Speaker 10: to one 54. That would not start until 2029. That
• 35:59
  Speaker 10: would also expand the, The round of postseason. And that's,
• 36:07
  Speaker 10: of course, you know, let's take another model from the
• 36:10
  Speaker 10: NFL and from NHL and the NBA. And so the
• 36:14
  Speaker 10: division series, the second playoff run will become a best
• 36:18
  Speaker 10: of seven. But this is the round would not be
• 36:21
  Speaker 10: best of five. It would be best of seven.
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: So, yeah. But, you know, the other thing is they
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: want a hard cap. Again, they're back with the hard cap.
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: And I think the worst thing for this offseason's baseball
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: negotiations is to watch the Dodgers get ousted by Milwaukee
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: in the NLDS. Because then all of a sudden you
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: come and say, we want a hard salary cap.
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: Really?
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: What do you need that for? Milwaukee just ousted a
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: team that spent four times their payroll.
• 36:48
  Speaker 10: I know.
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: Especially if it's something like a sweep or 4-1. Because
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: Milwaukee's playing with house money right now.
• 36:57
  Speaker 27: Yeah.
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: And and they're in there. And, you know, it's like
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: watching Jameis Winston, you know, negotiate the Giants against the
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: and Dan Quinn, you say what you want. He made
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: his bones as a defensive coordinator. Stop a Giants team
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: that has like, you know, a skater boy or whatever
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: his name is, the running back. And you've retreaded Jameis
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: Winston for the fourth time. And they're running down the
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: field like it's Tom Brady and Gronk. And, and, and
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: I'm like, and you're the, his bones are built as
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: a defensive guy.
• 37:28
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 37:29
  Speaker 20: All right.
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: Maybe not so much.
• 37:33
  Speaker 10: Anyway, with the, uh, the post season would have what
• 37:37
  Speaker 10: they're trying to do. They're trying to have more off days, uh, more,
• 37:41
  Speaker 10: you know, more games and national, they said, they think
• 37:44
  Speaker 10: that the national media money would, uh, with a 154
• 37:47
  Speaker 10: game schedule make a big difference, especially, uh, as they
• 37:50
  Speaker 10: get into September and October.
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: So there you go. The thing I read is they
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: want to nationalize all the local media contracts as well.
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: That's scary.
• 38:02
  Speaker 28: Hi, it's Mark Falter, host of the Financial Fitness Show.
• 38:05
  Speaker 28: I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
• 38:08
  Speaker 28: penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately
• 38:13
  Speaker 28: for most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case.
• 38:16
  Speaker 22: Why?
• 38:17
  Speaker 28: Because most people spend more time planning next weekend's getaway
• 38:21
  Speaker 28: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less in taxes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 28: My financial fitness team has put together some materials that
• 38:27
  Speaker 28: I know are going to help you. It's the tax
• 38:29
  Speaker 28: savings kit. Tax savings kit includes three things. Free tax analysis,
• 38:35
  Speaker 28: top 10 ways to pay less in taxes, and an
• 38:37
  Speaker 28: investor's guide to taxes. Now, how do you get it?
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: Simple.
• 38:42

• 39:04
  Speaker 23: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 39:09
  Speaker 23: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 23: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 23: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 23: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 39:28
  Speaker 23: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 39:33
  Speaker 23: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 23: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 39:40
  Speaker 23: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 39:42
  Speaker 23: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric oxide
• 39:47
  Speaker 23: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

  Speaker 29: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:37
  Speaker 29: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 29: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 29: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 29: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 29: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 29: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 41:00
  Speaker 29: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

  Speaker 29: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 41:17

  Speaker 25: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes
• 42:22
  Speaker 25: to bed hungry so her kids can have dinner?

  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:26
  Speaker 10: Work to your moms, I came to drop bombs. I
• 44:28
  Speaker 10: got more rhymes than the Bible's got songs. And just
• 44:31
  Speaker 10: like the prodigal son, I've returned.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: I came to get down, I came to get down.
• 44:35
  Speaker 10: So get out your seat and jump around.
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: Yes, he is known on the tube of you as
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: Tom Drops Bombs on YouTube. Also find him at Delegate
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: Tom Garrett. I don't know what we delegate to him,
• 44:51
  Speaker 6: but most people trust him with a good bit. So
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: I guess you get delegated a lot. Tom, good morning, sir.
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: How are you doing? Documentary filmmaker, exile, one of these days.
• 45:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know, one of these one of these
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: days we.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Won't be afraid of these days.
• 45:06
  Speaker 21: I'm just talking to you.
• 45:08
  Speaker 6: But, you know, one of these days we will stop
• 45:10
  Speaker 6: being afraid of China and actually put that amazing documentary
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: you made, you know, Exile. Because Netflix was ready to
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: green light it if it wasn't for that episode about
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: the Uyghurs in China. And you were talking about Netflix.
• 45:28
  Speaker 21: Well, that's a great story, right? So they said, well,
• 45:31
  Speaker 21: what are they? So we were doing a documentary film
• 45:33
  Speaker 21: series on Netflix. oppressed minorities specifically, but not exclusively religious
• 45:38
  Speaker 21: minorities around the globe. And they said, can you do
• 45:40
  Speaker 21: this thing without speaking yellow of China? And my exact
• 45:43
  Speaker 21: response was, we could do this without speaking yellow of China,
• 45:46
  Speaker 21: as well as we could do a Beatles talk without
• 45:47
  Speaker 21: mentioning John. And that was the end of that. So
• 45:52
  Speaker 21: you look like the most patriotic commercial on TV, the
• 45:55
  Speaker 21: only anti-communist commercial on TV that doesn't have Trump's fingerprints
• 45:59
  Speaker 21: all over it is for a video game. We're fighting
• 46:01
  Speaker 21: the North Koreans because that's plausible. You know, because you
• 46:07
  Speaker 21: can't fight the Chinese since they have 1.3 billion people
• 46:10
  Speaker 21: who purchase product. So you've got these people who won't
• 46:13
  Speaker 21: tell the truth because they know that it might hurt
• 46:16
  Speaker 21: their bottom line. And so, too, goes it with the
• 46:19
  Speaker 21: abortion industry and so many other things, big pharma. So
• 46:26
  Speaker 21: it is what it is. You know, our job is
• 46:27
  Speaker 21: to do the best we can with what we have individually,
• 46:30
  Speaker 21: the Lego stuff we can't control. And I'm 54 years
• 46:32
  Speaker 21: old and I still haven't gotten there yet. But at
• 46:34
  Speaker 21: least I know what I'm supposed to be trying to do.
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: Well, you mentioned we have the abortion. the trial balloon
• 46:41
  Speaker 6: of abortion amendments for every state in the union going
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: on right here, misrepresentative, classic bait and switch. It's about
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: women's health care. No, it's about arresting people that don't
• 46:53
  Speaker 6: give somebody an abortion. If you want to criminalize crisis
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: pregnancy centers and anyone who might say, hey, have you
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: thought about adoption you know adoption clinics are now going
• 47:10
  Speaker 6: to be criminalized we're going to raid send the department
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: of justice in uh to shut down adoption facilities and
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: that kind of thing you can't.
• 47:19
  Speaker 21: Have a crisis pregnancy center because that might tell someone
• 47:21
  Speaker 21: that there's an option aside from abortion it's that bad
• 47:24
  Speaker 21: and this is the one that crushes me as a
• 47:26
  Speaker 21: former prosecutor for 10 years um You've just created a
• 47:33
  Speaker 21: constitutional defense for a boyfriend who, quote, unquote, accidentally kills
• 47:38
  Speaker 21: his girlfriend because he was trying to render abortion aid.
• 47:42
  Speaker 21: He's got a complete criminal defense. We can't prosecute people
• 47:45
  Speaker 21: who are who have failed abortion attempts. So all he
• 47:48
  Speaker 21: has to do, didn't we just people who aren't abortion?
• 47:51
  Speaker 21: That's how broadly it's written.
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: Didn't we just have a case in I don't know
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: if it was Virginia, but it was certainly in the mid-Atlantic.
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: where a guy was caught giving mifepristone to his girlfriend,
• 48:04
  Speaker 6: pregnant girlfriend, in a beverage, like in a glass of water.
• 48:09
  Speaker 6: In an effort without her knowledge, you know, and the.
• 48:13
  Speaker 21: Democrats should love it. Not even she has given consent.
• 48:16
  Speaker 28: Right.
• 48:16
  Speaker 21: We get rid of parental consent. There's no need to
• 48:19
  Speaker 21: inform parents when their 13 year old who is being
• 48:21
  Speaker 21: sexually molested by their Albemarle County school teacher is not
• 48:27
  Speaker 21: making this stuff up. No, you're not good for them.
• 48:29
  Speaker 24: I mean.
• 48:30
  Speaker 21: The school can just slip them the Mifepristo. And I
• 48:33
  Speaker 21: love saying words I can't say. And they don't even
• 48:36
  Speaker 21: need to know because you can't be prosecuted for rendering
• 48:39
  Speaker 21: abortion aid. That's how crazy this is. Can I do
• 48:42
  Speaker 21: something weird? Let me just quote something from 1985 to you.
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 48:47
  Speaker 21: There comes a time when we heed a certain call
• 48:50
  Speaker 21: and the world must come together as one. There are
• 48:52
  Speaker 21: people dying and it's time to lend a hand to life,
• 48:55
  Speaker 21: the greatest gift of all. Now, Those are lyrics from
• 48:59
  Speaker 21: the ubiquitous We Are the World, in which we recognize
• 49:03
  Speaker 21: that life is the greatest gift of all and that
• 49:05
  Speaker 21: there are people who are dying and that we need
• 49:07
  Speaker 21: to come together as one and do something about it.
• 49:12
  Speaker 21: Let's lay those on top of the current ballot referendum
• 49:15
  Speaker 21: in Virginia, ensuring the right to abortion up until the
• 49:18
  Speaker 21: moment after birth. Literally, Ralph Northam.
• 49:22
  Speaker 24: Sure.
• 49:22
  Speaker 21: So it is mind-numbing.
• 49:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it is. And it is, to me, when people
• 49:30
  Speaker 6: realize what they're being told on the ballot is entirely
• 49:34
  Speaker 6: different than what the law actually says. And there's just
• 49:40
  Speaker 6: I don't know if we can make it blow up
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: in the authoritarians face that they're supporting this because because
• 49:48
  Speaker 6: of the issue that it is, there are Republicans who
• 49:50
  Speaker 6: are like, I just don't want to talk about it.
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: Don't I get yelled at at home? I just don't
• 49:53
  Speaker 6: want to talk about it. I have I have female constituents.
• 49:56
  Speaker 6: I don't want to be the guy. Because we act
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: like men have no say in it. And then we
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: complain that the men that are actually involved in creating
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: the pregnancy don't want to have a say in it
• 50:08
  Speaker 6: because we're told that men shouldn't have a say in
• 50:12
  Speaker 6: this issue. I find to be ludicrous and part and
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: parcel of how we wind up in this problem.
• 50:20
  Speaker 21: I mean, the cash compensation for the president of Planned
• 50:23
  Speaker 21: Parenthood last year was $ 712, 000. The senior VP made $ 431, 000.
• 50:25
  Speaker 21: The chief health care officer made $ 420, 000. The executive vice
• 50:27
  Speaker 21: president made $ 411, 000. The CFO made $ 404, 000. The second executive
• 50:28
  Speaker 21: VP made $ 400, 000.
• 50:28
  Speaker 10: I can keep going.
• 50:29
  Speaker 21: So this is a for-profit industry, and these people have
• 50:32
  Speaker 21: big money, and it's designed to ensure that we can
• 50:34
  Speaker 21: terminate innocent people. human life as easily as possible.
• 50:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 50:53
  Speaker 21: They will do anything they can to further their grasp
• 50:56
  Speaker 21: on the murder of innocence. And I could go into
• 51:00
  Speaker 21: all sorts of theology and various faiths, et cetera, beyond Christianity,
• 51:04
  Speaker 21: but I won't. Again, this is not, you have the
• 51:09
  Speaker 21: right to get an abortion in Virginia through the second
• 51:11
  Speaker 21: trimester with almost no holds barred right now. And it's
• 51:13
  Speaker 21: not going anywhere. I'm pretty familiar with the composition of
• 51:16
  Speaker 21: the General Assembly and who occupies the governor's mansion.
• 51:19
  Speaker 8: They love that.
• 51:20
  Speaker 21: So that's not going to that's not at risk. But
• 51:22
  Speaker 21: we're going to ensure the right of what the sexual
• 51:25
  Speaker 21: revolution did was enslave women and empower men for its promiscuity.
• 51:29
  Speaker 21: Psychological research shows that women who have sex without attachments
• 51:33
  Speaker 21: tend to have a far greater likelihood of psychological trauma.
• 51:37
  Speaker 21: of diminished self-worth, et cetera. But when abortion becomes birth control,
• 51:43
  Speaker 21: you've devalued the most valuable thing that there is, which
• 51:46
  Speaker 21: is life, innocent life. So, you know, and of course,
• 51:49
  Speaker 21: I'm not allowed to have an opinion on this because
• 51:51
  Speaker 21: I'm male, which is the stupidest.
• 51:52
  Speaker 10: Thing ever, right?
• 51:53
  Speaker 6: And people say, well, Joe, you can't talk about this
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: on the air. You know what I talk about? I
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: talk about ending unwanted pregnancies. I find that to be
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: the most offensive word that the English language has ever
• 52:04
  Speaker 6: strung together is unwanted pregnancy. If we can eliminate the
• 52:08
  Speaker 6: concept of even an unwanted pregnancy existing, and I'm not
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: saying criminalize an unwanted pregnancy, but raise good young men
• 52:17
  Speaker 6: and women who cherish life before they jump in the
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: sack and try to create it, I think we've made
• 52:25
  Speaker 6: a dramatic change into this. Tom drops bombs. I'm not
• 52:30
  Speaker 6: even sure if this is ever going to wind up
• 52:32
  Speaker 6: being a video. This is just me and Tom. Delegate
• 52:36
  Speaker 6: Tom Garrett on Facebook there. I do know what I
• 52:40
  Speaker 6: do know that the light at the end of the
• 52:42
  Speaker 6: tunnel is the top of the hour newscast. They're coming
• 52:46
  Speaker 6: after us. But think about that for a second. Think
• 52:48
  Speaker 6: about eliminating the concept of unwanted.
• 52:51
  Speaker 27: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:54
  Speaker 27: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 14: It was MediShare that came through for us and there
• 52:59
  Speaker 14: was no hassles.
• 53:00
  Speaker 10: There was no problem.
• 53:02
  Speaker 27: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:05
  Speaker 27: of such an incredible ministry.
• 53:07
  Speaker 26: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
• 53:11
  Speaker 26: share each other's medical expenses.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 53:20
  Speaker 26: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old,
• 53:25
  Speaker 26: and members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
• 53:27
  Speaker 26: medical bills.
• 53:28
  Speaker 10: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 53:30
  Speaker 10: You can focus on supporting other people.
• 53:33
  Speaker 12: Metashare is affordable. Metashare is biblical.
• 53:36
  Speaker 11: Metashare is family.
• 53:37
  Speaker 26: Join thousands of Christians who can help you save on
• 53:40
  Speaker 26: your health care and support your family when you need it.
