• 0:40
  Speaker 6: Joe.
• 0:40
  Speaker 7: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:43
  Speaker 7: this morning, like this text message. I appreciate the theme
• 0:48
  Speaker 7: you've been on recently. Say the blunt truth and quit
• 0:51
  Speaker 7: trying to sell us a load of minore. It's an
• 0:54
  Speaker 7: interesting that you mentioned Cincinnatis this morning. There's a monument
• 0:57
  Speaker 7: to him at Virginia Military Institute. Unless they've taken that
• 1:02
  Speaker 7: down already as well, I wonder to change. There's a
• 1:12
  Speaker 7: great album to this theme that came out fifty years
• 1:16
  Speaker 7: ago April first of nineteen seventy six. Daniel Buckspin has
• 1:21
  Speaker 7: written a book about twenty one twelve, and he's on
• 1:24
  Speaker 7: with us.
• 1:25
  Speaker 8: What brought it to you?
• 1:26
  Speaker 9: I think it's the right thing. And their world class
• 1:30
  Speaker 9: musicians and they should be out there playing.
• 1:32
  Speaker 7: In my opinion is there, you know, because Neil Pert
• 1:36
  Speaker 7: not only was so important in the sound of Rush,
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: but also into the lyrics of Rush. I mean just
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: the hardcore I mean iron rand, libertarian, you know, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 7: so much of that weaves its way through the imagery,
• 1:51
  Speaker 7: even especially in twenty one twelve and you get to
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: the story there, Can it be the same without him
• 2:03
  Speaker 7: with a pen in hand?
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: No?
• 2:05
  Speaker 9: No, well no, well that's easy to answer. No, And
• 2:10
  Speaker 9: you're right that it's mostly because of the lyrics.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 2:13
  Speaker 9: You know, people have asked me that over the years,
• 2:16
  Speaker 9: like would they ever get back together? And I always
• 2:18
  Speaker 9: said that, you know, the hard part is not finding
• 2:21
  Speaker 9: a good enough drummer, it's finding someone who can write
• 2:24
  Speaker 9: lyrics like that. Uh, And there isn't anybody. So you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 9: if they do go in and record something, I will
• 2:30
  Speaker 9: be very interested to see how they deal with that
• 2:33
  Speaker 9: piece of it.
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's you know, almost you know, Van Halen versus
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: Van Hagar and the different type of band that they
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: would become there, but certainly playing all those songs that
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: we've become so tuned into what made it. You know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: obviously the anniversary is key, but you know, your fascination
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: and your Love with twenty one twelve, which a lot
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: of people consider, you know, the hidden secret in rock
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: and roll history. I guess, you know, for a band
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: that kept getting snubbed by the Rock and Roll Hall
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: of Fame, that's not a hard thing to imagine. But this,
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: this work, so few people know it, and when they
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: hear it, they go, oh my god, I've never heard this.
• 3:14
  Speaker 8: This is amazing, Right, what drew you to it?
• 3:19
  Speaker 9: Uh? Well, I mean you're you know, you're right that
• 3:21
  Speaker 9: you know, for most people, the entry point to Rush
• 3:25
  Speaker 9: is Moving Pictures. You know, that's as Tom Sawyer on,
• 3:28
  Speaker 9: it was the biggest selling album that most of the time,
• 3:31
  Speaker 9: that's where people get in. The twenty one to twelve
• 3:33
  Speaker 9: was really you know, the time when it came out,
• 3:36
  Speaker 9: that was the entry point, and that was really where
• 3:39
  Speaker 9: a lot of people started getting on board. Uh you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 9: I mean you listen to it today and to me,
• 3:44
  Speaker 9: you know, it doesn't sound like a fifty year old album.
• 3:47
  Speaker 9: You know, it still sounds really fresh, and I you know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 9: I can't say that there's another album out there that's
• 3:55
  Speaker 9: come out since then that I could really compare it to,
• 3:57
  Speaker 9: you know, so uh, it's really you know, it's unique.
• 4:01
  Speaker 9: It's really a one off, and there's it's a perfect album.
• 4:05
  Speaker 9: There's no filler on it whatsoever. And you know, end
• 4:10
  Speaker 9: the twenty minute song at the beginning is the single.
• 4:14
  Speaker 9: So you know, it's really an oddity in a lot
• 4:17
  Speaker 9: of ways, but it works perfectly. And I don't know
• 4:21
  Speaker 9: that you know, other bands could really tick on something
• 4:24
  Speaker 9: that ambitious and come away with a product that good.
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: Hey, Daniel, hang on one second. He's the author of
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: the book about twenty one to twelve.
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: Here on the.
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: Fiftieth anniversary, technically April first, ironically it was the nineteen
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: seventy six twenty one twelve came out, but here we
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: must detail the things that have been going on since yesterday.
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen was asked if he would
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: ever tell Donald Trump we're running out of money for
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: this incursion in Iran, and he said absolutely not. Iran's
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: unit UN ambassador said they haven't closed the straight of
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: horn Moves, but they might. He added, it is Iran's
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: right to preserve the security of this key shipping route,
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: as if somehow they owned it. A newly completed national
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: survey of likely voters done by the McLaughlin group says
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: fifty seven percent back President Trump's military action against Iran,
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: and also fifty nine percent say President Trump should finish
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: the job. Interestingly enough, eighteen percent of those who said
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: they voted for Kamala Harris for president said they support
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: President Trump in these efforts. Japan plans to inform the
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: United States next week that they're going to join us
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: under the Golden Dome. Prime Minister sene Takeiichi will make
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: the plans clear in a meeting with President Trump on
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: March nineteenth. Democrats failed in their bid to get the
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: TSA back funded as a separate funding stream off of
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: the Department of Homeland Security budget, but have not been
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: able to get that in either sense. Leaders of the
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: nation's largest reform synagogue said Thursday their congregation was the
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: victim of a terrorist gunman who drove in to the
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: synagogue and began shooting.
• 6:25
  Speaker 10: The FBI is here working with their state, local, and
• 6:28
  Speaker 10: federal partners to investigate this incident, and I can confirm
• 6:31
  Speaker 10: that we are leading the investigation.
• 6:34
  Speaker 11: Right now as a targeted act of violence against the.
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: Jewish community, though they went on to say that they
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: can't identify a motive for that, and those are some
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: of our first things on this Friday morning. Stocks fell
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: yesterday and oil is back at one hundred dollars per
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: barrel on early morning trading.
• 7:01
  Speaker 12: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 12: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 12: to look into. And that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
• 7:10
  Speaker 12: joining metashare can save you or your family up to
• 7:13
  Speaker 12: five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but it's
• 7:16
  Speaker 12: also true. People are just happier with it. They love
• 7:18
  Speaker 12: being part of something that reflects and promotes their values
• 7:22
  Speaker 12: and what they believe in. Meda Share works too. It's
• 7:25
  Speaker 12: been around for thirty years now and members have shared
• 7:28
  Speaker 12: more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills. People
• 7:31
  Speaker 12: love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network. So yeah, really,
• 7:36
  Speaker 12: you can save a ton and like it better. Imagine
• 7:38
  Speaker 12: being happy with how you're taking care of your health care,
• 7:41
  Speaker 12: whether you're self employed or part of the gig economy,
• 7:43

  Speaker 16: You were strolling along in Goodwill, when just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 16: mid century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them
• 9:08
  Speaker 16: nestled in their display case, miniature donut earrings. Oh yes, yes,

• 10:08
  Speaker 18: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 18: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 18: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 18: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
• 10:24
  Speaker 18: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 18: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 18: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 18: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor,
• 10:40
  Speaker 18: Eat better, get moving, Visit checkup America dot org, or

  Speaker 2: Joe Thomas Waitings.
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: This week Waiting, we're talking about twenty one to twelve
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: fiftieth anniversary of the album. My wife when I told
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: her this said fifty years.
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: Really?
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you can feel all those joints when you think
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: about fifty years since Rush released twenty one to twelve.
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: That's actually a song nobody ever talks about is called
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: something for Nothing. So we're talking about Neil Pert, the songwriter.
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: On this couple of text messages here, Mark writes in Wow,
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: I expected to hear nothing but politics all morning here.
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: This is very cool.
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: Well, you know twenty one twelve is politics. And you
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: know we talk sometimes about science fiction and George Orwell
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: or iin Rand or whatever. You know, these attempts to
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: make the point about individual liberty in the in the
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: the case of either a sci fi adventure, even something
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: as simple as when Star Trek took it on or
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: Star Wars. Even from that point, this one, great guest,
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: twenty one twelve is an amazing album. A good friend
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: of mine included it in his doctoral dissertation. His premise
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: was that it parallels Luke twenty one twelve. There, Well,
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: thank you for that, because sometimes you break out of
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: what you know people normally think is going to be
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: what you're going to get out of a talk radio show.
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: But the themes and the point is we can tell
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: these stories if we take it to heart and mister Bunksman,
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: thank you for sitting on with us this morning and
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: talking about it.
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: My wife and I, you know, are.
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: Both long hair headbangers from Long Island, so we sometimes
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: sit in the pool and we'll talk about the beginnings
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: of heavy metal. And I said, well, heavy metal began
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: with led Zeppelin because nobody was doing music like led
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: Zeppelin before it, and then afterwards it was a much
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: more commonplace.
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: Kind of sound. But then Rush seemed to take.
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: What was going on in the prog rock world of
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: Genesis and all of that, and at twenty one twelve
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: to take this idea of this story that can be
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: told musically from start to finish. I mean, more so
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: than the whoever created a rock opera? Twenty one to
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: twelve is truly a rock opera that you know, everyone
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: should recognize and maybe that should be its next life.
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: We need to get this on Broadway.
• 16:06
  Speaker 23: Uh.
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: This one Rolling Stone writer who I quoted said it
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: will never be a Broadway show just just because it's
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: too like it's it's well, you know, the subject matters
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: is just too it's too much of a bummer, you know. Uh,
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: you know, they they when they did the Broadway show
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: of Tommy. You know, they changed the ending so it
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: was more up and you know, and it's and it's like,
• 16:29
  Speaker 9: if you're going to do that, then I mean, really,
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: what's the point, you know?
• 16:32
  Speaker 24: Uh, but.
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: I can't see Rush really being embraced by the kind
• 16:38
  Speaker 9: of people who put on Broadway shows in the first place.
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: So you know, uh, we we can maybe do it ourselves,
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: you know, you and me, we put on our own
• 16:46
  Speaker 9: you know, U charades level reenactment of the record. I
• 16:52
  Speaker 9: don't know. I just don't know. If you're going to
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: see uh, you know, Patty LuPone on stage doing temples
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: of searings.
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: Well, you don't know if you're going to that.
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: You know, if if def Leppard can put their money
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: behind Rock of Ages, you know, and we can get
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: you know, subjected to that. And I still I smile.
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: It's one of those guilty pleasures. But having worked in
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: rock clubs like The Whiskey for many years in the nineties,
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: I look at my kids when we watched it, I said,
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: it was very much like that. I mean, minus the
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: singing in between the making out, but there was there
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: was a lot of a lot of reality going on there.
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: How does it you come into this world of you know,
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: heavy metal and rock and roll and covering it for
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: you know, broadcast networks.
• 17:39
  Speaker 9: Oh, it just it's just kind of something I naturally
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: fell into because it's all I care about, and it's
• 17:45
  Speaker 9: all I talk about, you know, no matter what. And
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: you know, I mean I've been doing I've been doing
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: a lot of press rounds for this book since yesterday.
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: And what I learned is that you can wake me
• 17:57
  Speaker 9: up from a drunken stupor and I can be like
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: Rush formed in nineteen sixty eight and the members were
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: you know. So it's I'm you know, I'm just doing
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: what I just what I do naturally in life and
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: putting it in books. Well, so it's I'm kind of obsessive.
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: So you know, well that's okay.
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: It's a good obsession because I think it's part of
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: music history that needs to be you know, laid out,
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: you know, almost historically, but also so that you know,
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: when you look at where we go musically, you know,
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: generations cycle after each other, and you see some of
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: the newer bands kind of picking up where Rush was
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: and and finally getting that you know, not tribute but
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: bands who grew up loving Rush. Now they've got their
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: own bands and they're doing their own thing and it's
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: part of that tree.
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah. I got to say that Rush themselves are still
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: uh you know, kids today are still picking it up
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: every day and are into them as you know, as
• 19:00
  Speaker 9: they are. And you know, there are kids at this
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: minute getting drum lessons and guitar lessons and all that
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: sort of thing because they heard Rush. Like they're still
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: as relevant as ever. I would even argue that now
• 19:14
  Speaker 9: they may be more popular than ever, just because the
• 19:18
  Speaker 9: Internet and social media has given them a reach they
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: didn't really have when they were together.
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: I mean my son listens to them, it's they're still
• 19:29
  Speaker 9: out there, one hundred percent out there, and I just
• 19:32
  Speaker 9: think that's a real testament to the music and how
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: well it all holds up. You know, twenty one to
• 19:37
  Speaker 9: twelve absolutely holds up. I mean you put it on
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: any time, and every time it's like, wow, my god,
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: this is really good.
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: Well in the orchestration of it.
• 19:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I've probably listened like eight hundred times
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: or something or something like that, and every time I
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: listen to it, I pick up on something new. There's
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: some little detail I didn't catch before. Uh, you know,
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: then there's the story. I mean, there's just so much there. Yeah,
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: you can, you can really find new things in it forever,
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: and I think that's what new people coming to it
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: are finding. Also.
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's rock and roll meets science fiction in terms
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: of being able to tell somebody something and not have
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: it to be you know, something that's happening right now,
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: just a Clackson warning, you know, somewhere off in the
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: fog letting you know, to watch out for rocks below

• 21:19
  Speaker 7: from Speaks in nineteen seventy eight seeing them play to
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: actually hanging out with them, and it's it's been a
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: surreal world that only radio or publishing can give you
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: the opportunity to do. But it's amazing that these bands
• 21:34

  Speaker 2: Media Edworth by Joe Thomas.
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: Time for our sports director Mac McDonald to join us
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: and actually directly at early classes this morning at the
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: Dan Patrick School of Sportscasting, where he's program director there
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: at full Sale University. Good morning, Mac, How are you doing, sir?
• 28:36
  Speaker 23: Good morning jud job But everything sounds okay. I am
• 28:39
  Speaker 23: in a conference room just steps from our main Dan
• 28:43
  Speaker 23: Patrick studio. We have an early class today. I certainly
• 28:46
  Speaker 23: didn't want to miss this Friday because of on Sunday
• 28:49
  Speaker 23: and of course Monday. As we take a look at
• 28:51
  Speaker 23: what's happening in college basketball. We would First, I would
• 28:55
  Speaker 23: like to thank Auburn for participating. Thank you Steve Pearl.
• 29:00
  Speaker 23: Appreciate it because Miami, Ohio said, all right, what's more
• 29:03
  Speaker 23: important we get into the tournament or lose, and so
• 29:07
  Speaker 23: they you know, you mass beat him yesterday. So oh,
• 29:09
  Speaker 23: I'm so sorry that cost Auburn. So I just want
• 29:13
  Speaker 23: to take a quick look and also a real good
• 29:15
  Speaker 23: breakdown of, you know, talking about the little guys too,
• 29:19
  Speaker 23: because I started to look at like the teams that
• 29:21
  Speaker 23: are probably going to get in Sienna, Howard, Utah State, VCU,
• 29:25
  Speaker 23: Troy Akron, Tennessee State, Utah Valley. You know, you see,
• 29:31
  Speaker 23: we do have some of the little guys that are
• 29:33
  Speaker 23: going to be in there. But Anthony Grant last week
• 29:36
  Speaker 23: was interviewed. Now he's been a Dayton since twenty seventeen.
• 29:40
  Speaker 23: He coached at VCU and.
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: A ten. The Flyers were twenty one and ten.
• 29:46
  Speaker 23: They lost to VCU in the tournament twelve and six.
• 29:48
  Speaker 23: But Anthony Grant had a lot of great things to
• 29:50
  Speaker 23: say about the tournament, the little guy, the numbers in
• 29:54
  Speaker 23: the math and how things are supposed to work right. Well,
• 29:57
  Speaker 23: as far as Anthony Grant, should we go to six
• 30:00
  Speaker 23: more teams and maybe with Miami of Ohio. You know,
• 30:04
  Speaker 23: but this was before of course the RedHawks lost.
• 30:07
  Speaker 27: They're not perfect. Hey, somebody else from a power four
• 30:10
  Speaker 27: or five leagues should get in ahead of them because
• 30:13
  Speaker 27: their league is Oh man, it's like, okay, is that
• 30:15
  Speaker 27: what we're doing? So if that's what we're doing, all right,
• 30:18
  Speaker 27: are we really going to move this thing to six
• 30:21
  Speaker 27: more teams get in?
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: Like?
• 30:22
  Speaker 27: What are we trying to do with this? It's an
• 30:24
  Speaker 27: invitational tournament, right, So if they get to pick whoever
• 30:27
  Speaker 27: they want to go into it, and.
• 30:28
  Speaker 23: If the basketball thing doesn't work out for Anthony Graham,
• 30:31
  Speaker 23: maybe you know a very white.
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: Uh love songs, nothing but love songs, Hello, darling.
• 30:40
  Speaker 23: So the automatic qualifiers versus the at large as you know,
• 30:44
  Speaker 23: we we want to get because SMU is going to
• 30:47
  Speaker 23: get in, all right, Oklahoma is going to be the
• 30:49
  Speaker 23: first team out. The last four in will be VCU, Missouri,
• 30:54
  Speaker 23: SMU in Texas. First teams out Auburn, Indiana, and New Mexico.
• 30:59
  Speaker 23: And I'll give you the cop and breakdown in just
• 31:01
  Speaker 23: a little bit as we get ready for Sunday. As
• 31:03
  Speaker 23: far as the men's and women's picks, but it's according
• 31:06
  Speaker 23: to Coach Grant, it's automatic qualifiers versus at large. Does
• 31:10
  Speaker 23: the math work out?
• 31:12
  Speaker 27: The math doesn't. It just doesn't work out, and there's
• 31:15
  Speaker 27: no way to cut it. So you can talk all
• 31:18
  Speaker 27: around it, you know, but at the end of the day,
• 31:21
  Speaker 27: it's set up for that. Like just even the talk
• 31:24
  Speaker 27: that VCU. If they lose today, they're not in You're
• 31:27
  Speaker 27: kidding me. You watch those guys play this year. Come on, man,
• 31:31
  Speaker 27: if a Power four five league can get ten teams,
• 31:35
  Speaker 27: then you just got to do the math. Like so
• 31:39
  Speaker 27: if you're not in a power four league, you almost
• 31:41
  Speaker 27: have to be perfect, you know.
• 31:42
  Speaker 23: And I feel for the guys, like coach Grant, because
• 31:46
  Speaker 23: they they tried to schedule, all right, They beat Marquette,
• 31:50
  Speaker 23: they beat Georgetown, and it depends a lot of times,
• 31:53
  Speaker 23: you know, how tough your conference is. They played though
• 31:56
  Speaker 23: they scheduled Cincinnati byu u v A Florida State. No,
• 32:00
  Speaker 23: those are their losses as far as the power for teams.
• 32:04
  Speaker 23: And I've said this one hundred times, and if you're
• 32:08
  Speaker 23: new to our program, you know, I repeat myself a lot.
• 32:11
  Speaker 23: But Dave Odom and I used to spend a lot
• 32:13
  Speaker 23: of times in the front seat of a car going
• 32:15
  Speaker 23: to a TV show, and Dave used to break down
• 32:18
  Speaker 23: things and say things that I tried to like remember ever,
• 32:22
  Speaker 23: like the End Is, which became the title of his book,
• 32:25
  Speaker 23: The End Is Not the Trophy, which I had to
• 32:28
  Speaker 23: decipher for like two months before I figured out what
• 32:30
  Speaker 23: he meant, but got I was so good. But he
• 32:33
  Speaker 23: used to say, and I heard him say it at banquets,
• 32:36
  Speaker 23: the three most important things in coaching, and this is
• 32:39
  Speaker 23: football all sports actually is scheduling, recruiting and scheduling, you know,
• 32:46
  Speaker 23: and probably in that order, because you have to build.
• 32:50
  Speaker 23: And when Dave was at Wake it was the same thing.
• 32:53
  Speaker 23: You probably were going to be in a bubble. You
• 32:55
  Speaker 23: probably weren't going to win the ACC. But they ended
• 32:58
  Speaker 23: up doing it with Duncan and y six and I
• 33:01
  Speaker 23: get that. But to schedule and to figure out, okay,
• 33:05
  Speaker 23: are you going to be because the last couple of
• 33:07
  Speaker 23: years and I forgot to look exactly what. But this
• 33:11
  Speaker 23: is one of the bigger years for the ACC in
• 33:14
  Speaker 23: quite some time. The SEC is going to get ten,
• 33:16
  Speaker 23: the Big ten will get nine, more than likely the
• 33:20
  Speaker 23: ACC is going to get eight this year, and the
• 33:22
  Speaker 23: Big twelve is going to get eight teams, so that's
• 33:26
  Speaker 23: nineteen and sixteen is what thirty five? And then you
• 33:29
  Speaker 23: put together the rest of the tournament with your uc
• 33:32
  Speaker 23: R Vines and your Furman's and your Queen's College in
• 33:35
  Speaker 23: Long Island and you know, Bamigi State. So but that's
• 33:40
  Speaker 23: that's just the nature of the beast. It is the
• 33:43
  Speaker 23: nature of where we are as far as the NCAA tournament.
• 33:47
  Speaker 23: So kick back, get ready, because it's going to be
• 33:51
  Speaker 23: a blast.
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: I mean I always sort of appreciated the fact that
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: you win your conference and you're in. I think that's
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: fair if you're an instrument all. Yeah, absolutely, it's an
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: nc DOUBA conference. If you don't want them, don't list them,
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: tell them, I'm sorry, you're too small Division two for you.
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: No suit in one year.
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: But as long as they're going to play play, I
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: imagine there's admissions fees to these tournaments because that's where
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: their trophies come from. So you know, the schools are
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: going to have to buck up to win, which means
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: donors are going to be hit up saying, hey, help
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: us get to where's it this year is Indiana? What's
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: that the tournament? Where's the final four? This year Indiana.
• 34:35
  Speaker 23: Oh you know what, I haven't even looked at it,
• 34:36
  Speaker 23: and I should know that, and I apologize I even know.
• 34:39
  Speaker 23: But no, the n C two A pays for everything.
• 34:42
  Speaker 23: Oh do they They pay for transportation. They put you
• 34:46
  Speaker 23: in an NC DOUBLEA hotel. Wow, yeah you get you
• 34:49
  Speaker 23: get ninety percent. Yeah, you get most of your stuff covered.
• 34:52
  Speaker 23: Plus they're still doing the units game where you know,
• 34:57
  Speaker 23: your conference gets so many units and then you get
• 34:59
  Speaker 23: paid aid per unit. You know, when they start to
• 35:02
  Speaker 23: break down as far as when they start to look
• 35:04
  Speaker 23: at all the TV money and everything.
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: Interesting.
• 35:07
  Speaker 23: Yeah, so I mean it's still it's still a major,
• 35:10
  Speaker 23: major money grab. And what Anthony Grant was saying, and
• 35:13
  Speaker 23: it and they've been talking about this for quite some time.
• 35:15
  Speaker 23: Expanding the tournament. I don't you know, going to see
• 35:19
  Speaker 23: you know, uh, we're sixty eight. Do we take it
• 35:22
  Speaker 23: more to more than that? And with the six metings,
• 35:25
  Speaker 23: the four plane, you know, the playing game, even though
• 35:28
  Speaker 23: the first four.
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: Well, but I mean you know, at some point, you know,
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: at some point when you've got the Fugazi Brothers of
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: Mercy you.
• 35:35
  Speaker 8: Know playing in the you know, first four, you know
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: you got that That's where my friends in Pennsylvania.
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: But you know, when you've got you got small schools,
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: and it's great because some schools, if you do it right.
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: What's the one in the Northwest that was always an outsider,
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: was never a big power conference. Always Gonzaga the Zags.
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: Now they're considered, you know, one of the legacy you know,
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: big power teams in the country because they built, they
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: got on TV.
• 36:05
  Speaker 8: People like, what the heck is a Zag?
• 36:08
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: I'm sure there were some college kids that like say, hey,
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: I like saying, you know, go Zags, but they recruited
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: and this is one of those instances where it works
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: for the colleges. And this kind of makes my case
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: about it's a promotional activity for the schools. When my
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: daughter said I want to go to Virginia Commonwealth University,
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: I'm like, you mean.
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: The basketball school. You don't like basketball, you know.
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: And she's like, it's one of the pre eminent art
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: programs in the country and it's the pre eminent public
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: art school in the country, and like, really, I had
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: no idea, but I knew it because Shaka Smart and
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: the Final Four and everything else. But it is it
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: does help these schools recruit students for other things besides basketball.
• 36:58
  Speaker 23: Yeah, and when you and so now and grabbing the
• 37:01
  Speaker 23: number one seeds in the two season. So Virginia has
• 37:03
  Speaker 23: nailed down a four seed. Duke is going to be
• 37:05
  Speaker 23: a number one seed even though Duke got pushed. How
• 37:08
  Speaker 23: about and then Carolina got beat? How about that Duke?
• 37:11
  Speaker 23: Duke Florida State and then Carolina Clemson. Both those games
• 37:16
  Speaker 23: last night had the same score, eighty seventy nine. Roll
• 37:19
  Speaker 23: those dice you know today, So if you feel like
• 37:22
  Speaker 23: playing a lottery. But anyway, on Sunday, when it all
• 37:25
  Speaker 23: you know breaks down and Joe Lonardi normally hits sixty
• 37:29
  Speaker 23: three of the sixty four, the teams that are you know,
• 37:32
  Speaker 23: that are in and ready to rock, we'll have it
• 37:34
  Speaker 23: certainly Monday. And by the way, World Baseball Classic tonight Canada.
• 37:37
  Speaker 23: Jack Hughes, the Olympic gold medal winner and score the

• 44:37
  Speaker 4: I hope you are.
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: Oh, you know, very very well.
• 44:40
  Speaker 7: So I received a text message earlier and we read
• 44:42
  Speaker 7: it into the public record, but I want to read
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: it to you regarding the Save America Act. Clark down
• 44:51
  Speaker 7: in Alabama wrote into me, he said, he said, and
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: I'm going to para. Oh there it is okay. I
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: was going to paraphrase him. For a second failure. The
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: passage of the Save Act will doom the Democrat Party
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: to permanent minority status. Failure to pass the Save Act
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: will doom the Republican Party to the same political relevance regardless.
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: And it's sad to think that a political party could
• 45:20
  Speaker 7: be rendered irrelevant if we just make sure only citizens vote.
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: But this inability to get out.
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: Of their own way, John Cornyn and deals and I'll
• 45:32
  Speaker 7: drop out if this happens, and all of this, all
• 45:36
  Speaker 7: the shenanigans that go around simply saying only citizens should
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: vote on our election just seems so ludicrous to me. Bob,
• 45:44
  Speaker 7: take us inside what you know and what can we
• 45:47
  Speaker 7: expect with this.
• 45:50
  Speaker 24: It is incredible that a party is staking everything on
• 45:54
  Speaker 24: trying to prevent the Save Act or trying to fight
• 45:59
  Speaker 24: what is an eighty percent issue. The vast majority of Americans,
• 46:04
  Speaker 24: including the majority of Democrats and the overwhelming majority of Independents,
• 46:08
  Speaker 24: obviously only want citizens to vote in our elections.
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: And want voter ID and why.
• 46:16
  Speaker 24: To the point of the text, gentleman who texted you,
• 46:19
  Speaker 24: why would anyone fight that unless they wanted non citizens
• 46:23
  Speaker 24: to vote, unless they wanted to facilitate cheating. The arguments
• 46:27
  Speaker 24: the Dems are tired and ridiculous about, you know, minorities
• 46:30
  Speaker 24: can't get IDs, and women can't get IDs, and it's
• 46:33
  Speaker 24: going to disenfranchise people and so forth. While I don't
• 46:36
  Speaker 24: know that it's the panacea that's going to cure all
• 46:39
  Speaker 24: ills and save all elections and ensure that the Republican
• 46:42
  Speaker 24: Party is going to be the dominant party going.
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: Forward in the future if it passes.
• 46:46
  Speaker 24: Obviously, laws are only as good as the enforcement of
• 46:48
  Speaker 24: the laws and the application of those and the susustenance
• 46:53
  Speaker 24: of those going forward.
• 46:54
  Speaker 7: Nor should that be That shouldn't be the goal of
• 46:57
  Speaker 7: it either politically, I mean, it's not about jo guaranteeing
• 47:00
  Speaker 7: a political party. It's just guaranteeing citizens.
• 47:03
  Speaker 24: Yeah, absolutely, and everyone ought to support it, and that's
• 47:06
  Speaker 24: why the vast majority of people do. But it just
• 47:08
  Speaker 24: tells a lot about the Democrat Party, who frankly does
• 47:14
  Speaker 24: get a minority of native born Americans don't vote for Democrats.
• 47:24
  Speaker 24: Foreign born individuals overwhelmingly vote for Democrats, and obviously Democrats
• 47:29
  Speaker 24: are not just trying to have generous, lawful, legal immigration policies,
• 47:33
  Speaker 24: but they want to have illegal right open border policies
• 47:37
  Speaker 24: as well, and then let the vote whether their citizens
• 47:40
  Speaker 24: or not.
• 47:41
  Speaker 7: So Florida, though, your friend Ron DeSantis, they just passed
• 47:45
  Speaker 7: in the General Assembly down there, basically their their version
• 47:50
  Speaker 7: of the Save Act where only citizens can get onto
• 47:53
  Speaker 7: the Florida voter role. You'll have to prove citizenship to
• 47:56
  Speaker 7: the Florida election officials anyway. Does it have to come
• 48:00
  Speaker 7: grassroots on up from the states, then maybe, Bob.
• 48:04
  Speaker 24: Once again, Florida continues to lead the country. Florida continues
• 48:07
  Speaker 24: to be the model for the country. The greatest governor
• 48:09
  Speaker 24: in the country, I believe, is the one in Florida.
• 48:13
  Speaker 24: But yeah, states should be able to you know, as
• 48:16
  Speaker 24: you know, the Constitution gets primary jurisdiction for running elections
• 48:19
  Speaker 24: to the various state legislatures. It does give Congress a role.
• 48:23
  Speaker 24: Congress can step in as well. But yeah, states across
• 48:27
  Speaker 24: the country ought to be implementing their own voter integrity
• 48:30
  Speaker 24: laws for voter id and only citizens and so forth
• 48:34
  Speaker 24: ought to be eliminating unsolicit mass balloting, ballot harvesting, drop boxes,
• 48:41
  Speaker 24: and others at any place other than polling places that
• 48:43
  Speaker 24: are secure, and so forth, to try to obviously do
• 48:46
  Speaker 24: everything possible to ensure the integrity and the fairness and
• 48:50
  Speaker 24: legitimacy of our elections.
• 48:52
  Speaker 7: On that subject, Florida Virginia, you know, well you used
• 48:57
  Speaker 7: to represent Virginia in Congress. I find it hysterical as
• 49:01
  Speaker 7: I watch and I listened to the Democratic Party of
• 49:04
  Speaker 7: Florida say exactly what the Republican Party of Virginia is
• 49:09
  Speaker 7: saying about what the Democrats in Virginia are doing. It's like,
• 49:13
  Speaker 7: you know, if you took the two Democratic parties, the
• 49:16
  Speaker 7: Democrats of Florida and the Democrats of Virginia, they'd be
• 49:19
  Speaker 7: in court against one another. The Florida Democrats are saying
• 49:23
  Speaker 7: Ron de Santis is breaking the constitution and he can't
• 49:26
  Speaker 7: call a special session on redistricting. And that's exactly what
• 49:30
  Speaker 7: the Republican Party of Virginia is saying about the Democrats.
• 49:33
  Speaker 7: How is it the same political party?
• 49:35
  Speaker 8: Can you know?
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: Does Eric Holder have this much money and sway over
• 49:41
  Speaker 7: Democrats to get them to be this bipolar about the
• 49:45
  Speaker 7: issue of redistricting.
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: Well, parties are partisan by definition.
• 49:50
  Speaker 24: Parties are inconsistent based on their opportunistic view of what
• 49:55
  Speaker 24: will achieve political gain.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: However, you ought to at least have to fall all
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: the law of.
• 50:00
  Speaker 24: Your respective stay and in respect the constitution of your
• 50:03
  Speaker 24: respective state, of course, and in Virginia's case, again, my
• 50:07
  Speaker 24: problem isn't so much with Democrats trying to use power
• 50:12
  Speaker 24: for political purposes when they can do it to gain
• 50:14
  Speaker 24: their advantage.
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: I think we ought to do that in states where
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: we have that kind of an advantage.
• 50:19
  Speaker 24: But they ought not to go to cheat and count
• 50:21
  Speaker 24: an election where a million people had already voted as
• 50:23
  Speaker 24: an election that had not taken place, and they ought
• 50:26
  Speaker 24: to have to give the proper notification, the ninety day
• 50:28
  Speaker 24: notification and so forth. But I think the people of
• 50:31
  Speaker 24: Virginia may reject with the special election reverendum on this anyway,
• 50:36
  Speaker 24: if it does proceed to April, as it's currently scheduled
• 50:39
  Speaker 24: to do so.
• 50:40
  Speaker 7: He had a friend asked me, He said, does it
• 50:42
  Speaker 7: tell you a little bit about where the Democrats are
• 50:44
  Speaker 7: if they're trying to fool you into thinking Donald Trump
• 50:47
  Speaker 7: supports the referendum on suspending Virginia's constitution by the way
• 50:52
  Speaker 7: they're building their billboards.
• 50:55
  Speaker 24: Yeah, I hadn't heard that claim that Donald Trump supposedly,
• 51:00
  Speaker 24: it's not the case.
• 51:00
  Speaker 7: Big billboards on the side of Interstate eighty one with
• 51:03
  Speaker 7: Donald Trump's facing vote yes on the referendum. And I
• 51:07
  Speaker 7: guess their premise is they want the referendum so that
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: they can fight Donald Trump, but they don't make that
• 51:13
  Speaker 7: clear in a billboard.
• 51:15
  Speaker 24: It's just imagine that deceptive, deceptive advertising by the Democrats.
• 51:19
  Speaker 7: Shock, you're shocked.
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 51:20
  Speaker 7: That'll make you ruin your breakfast, Bob, I know, because
• 51:23
  Speaker 7: you have such faith in consistency there.
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: So you know.
• 51:28
  Speaker 7: Iran is saber rattling over the Strait of Horror moves.
• 51:32
  Speaker 7: Their youn ambassador says, we haven't closed it yet.
• 51:37
  Speaker 8: You know, if there is.
• 51:39
  Speaker 7: More than just the bombardment to try to weaken the regime,
• 51:42
  Speaker 7: and we're still here we are a week later. I
• 51:44
  Speaker 7: haven't seen the uprisings from within the Iranian people yet.
• 51:49
  Speaker 7: But does the international community need to do something to
• 51:52
  Speaker 7: make sure the Strait of Horror Moves stays open?
• 51:57
  Speaker 18: Yeah?
• 51:57
  Speaker 24: They obviously Iran continue us to attack its neighbors who
• 52:01
  Speaker 24: are not involved in the war that are not participating
• 52:04
  Speaker 24: in the attack on Iran, and Iran is trying to
• 52:08
  Speaker 24: just cause as much pain as suffering as they can.
• 52:10
  Speaker 24: They are a wounded, severely wounded animal that's going to
• 52:15
  Speaker 24: continue to lash out. They've got the incentive to continue
• 52:17
  Speaker 24: to fight from a terrorist like tactics or guerrilla type
• 52:20
  Speaker 24: tactics and so forth. And you've got reports on attacks
• 52:24
  Speaker 24: on ships, on tankers and so forth. And while President
• 52:28
  Speaker 24: Trumps has said, hey, it's safe to transgress through there,
• 52:34
  Speaker 24: and he's said we've removed a lot of the minds
• 52:37
  Speaker 24: that have been put in place, and he's threatening Iran
• 52:39
  Speaker 24: if there are further attacks or further harmed une to
• 52:42
  Speaker 24: ships and so forth. Yeah, I think Iran's going to
• 52:45
  Speaker 24: continue to try to do it because they kind of
• 52:47
  Speaker 24: have nothing to lose, at least as far as leadership.
