  Speaker 1: This is an.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Across on your to do list. Putting the radio on
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: is the first thing today.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: George said, steal me have a day.
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: At least for work. When the sun comes up, drops
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: a pet at the school the.
• 0:21
  Speaker 5: Night you you, I tell you don't let anything slip.
• 0:27
  Speaker 6: By Joe's smile, he only as.
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: you this morning, even if you have to call me
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: to the carpet. Hey, at least we vacuum the carpet
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: every now and then, or at least trim it. So
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: as we gather this Friday morning and we talk about
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: the affairs of state, the things that went on since
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: last night. We analyzed the evidence left at the crime scene,
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: and we'll tell you what we find in it. But
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: I also want to hear how it's impacting you. Where
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: you are at four three four eight eight two four
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: to two one seven. That's the multitasker. You can text message,
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: which is so much easier in the cacophony. That is
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: an early morning, because you've left everything that lies.
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: I'll get to that later.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: Now is later, so of course you don't have all
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: the time in the world to sit and have a
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: chat with some guy who's sitting inside your radio right now. However,
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: you can take a second and holler something at voice
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: to text and hit send to four three four eight
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: eight two four to two one seven. The bomber, after
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: five years of eluding, eluding the best and brightest in
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: law enforcement by living with his mom, has been caught.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: The bomber being the one who put the bombs outside
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: of the RNC and DNC headquarters. That became a subtext
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: to j six And interestingly enough, and we'll get into
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: the details of the story, some reactions to it and
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: that kind of thing. Many people aren't missing the fact
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: that they used the very same technology that they used
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: to round up all of those January sixth participants, every
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: one of them. Oh yeah, no, we caught everyone using
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: cell phone data. Oh yeah, we had the cell phone data.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: We had all of it, ping the cell phone towers,
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: We used security camera footage, and all of that was
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: what they used to find Brian Cole Jr. I know
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: it's tough to believe Pete hegseith the IG's reports out
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: that says he didn't do anything wrong. However, most of
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: the media to drive the AI to make you think
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: he did a whole bunch of stuff wrong, wrote headlines
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: that said he did stuff wrong, even though the IG's
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: report said he didn't. And meanwhile, the President's got a
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: longer list of no fly states, and the weekend is nigh,
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: and are you ready for Christmas? Christmas just three weeks
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: from now? Are you ready? Are you prepared? Because there's
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: bigger things afoot. I mean, if we forget those things,
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: then we forget why we're here. And we'll get back
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: into a couple of your emails holding me to account
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: for not technically answering the question. But you're going to
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: drag Bernie Sanders back on the air, and I guarantee
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: that'll make Matt call eventually. But I like hearing from Matt,
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: so that's not a bad thing. Our first things this morning.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: Brian Cole Junior, the bomber who who placed the bombs
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: outside of the DNC and RNC headquarters allegedly on January
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: fifth of twenty twenty one, has been identified and arrested
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: by the FBI yesterday at his mom's house, where he's
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: been living since then. Supreme Court Thursday said that Texas
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: can use its redrawn congressional map Republican celebrating because it
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: could add as many five GOP seats in the midterms.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: The Order Unsigned granted Texas's emergency request to block a
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: lower courts ruling that barred the map as an unconstitutional
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: racial gerrymander. Florida's entire US congressional delegation urged President Trump
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: to leave their state out of his plan to expand
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: oil and gas drilling in coastal areas in the Gulf
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: of America, saying it would threaten the state's military and
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: to some industries. Virginia Senator Mark Warner's reelection campaign has
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: renewed his gut well all right. Senator Warner himself has
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: renewed the call, but he didn't take any time to
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: remind people he's running for reelection. Calling for the resignation
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: of Secretary of War Pete Hegseith in the wake of
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: the IG report that says that he didn't do anything
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: wrong and didn't violate any rules, but probably should have
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: been better about how he conducted the signal app meeting.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome on Thursday said President Trump's
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: administration is moving to expand the number of countries covered
• 5:40

  Speaker 5: tell me. You know, Clyde Darrow couldn't have been tough
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: enough to live with his in laws in their basement.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: Might might have, you know, passed the test and gotten
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: away with it. After all, A couple of folks have said,
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: hold it, Joe, you said we need to know what
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: our way of life is, yet you didn't expound on
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: exactly what that should be. Isn't that your job? Well,
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: it is to an abstract Yeah, sure, fine, I'm supposed to,
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: you know, be the one. That's what you expect a
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: talk show host to do. But I thought we had
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: established the fact that in America, your way of life
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: is your way of life, not mine, and that we're
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: supposed to be allowed to live our lives the way
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: we see fit, as long as we don't violate the
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: rights of someone else, like taking all their money to
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: fund other stuff.
• 14:56
  Speaker 19: For saying, wait a minute, sixty percent of us are
• 14:59
  Speaker 19: strong going to put food on the table, will living
• 15:02
  Speaker 19: paycheck the paycheck.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: In sixty years since Bernie Sanders kind elcted the Senate. No,
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: he wasn't there. He wasn't actually in the Senate at
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: the beginning of the Great Society, but it was closed.
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: Can afford healthcare, can't afford housing.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: And I've been a Senator for three hundred years and
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: I can't figure this out. And I never got a dinner.
• 15:21
  Speaker 20: And now you've got a government which is run by
• 15:23
  Speaker 20: billion other.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: Day like me, billionaires like me. I knew hearing the
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: you know, the smelling, the smell of maple syrup and
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: mothballs would draw Matt out, having covered Bernie Sanders from
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: when he had all the color in his hair. But
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: the Senate's greatest Q tip out there, you know, Hawking
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: his book, You rise up against the oligarchy. Trust me,
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: trust me, I know I'm one of them. How are
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: you doing this morning, Matt?
• 15:52
  Speaker 21: Oh, not too bad. I just wanted to raise the
• 15:55
  Speaker 21: point that Bernie Sanders and true capitalist tradition and has
• 16:00
  Speaker 21: turned himself into a cottage industry.
• 16:05
  Speaker 22: Oh.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: I hadn't even thought about it that way. It's you know,
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: it's the art of being Bernie.
• 16:12
  Speaker 21: Yeah, I mean, he's he's out there giving talks you know,
• 16:18
  Speaker 21: the the crusty, old friendly communist cremudgeon Bernie. And you know,
• 16:27
  Speaker 21: at his age, he's now doing his Greatest Hits tour, so.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: He's remastered them. He's remastered them though. That's the thing.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: It's like, you know, when they remastered all the Beatles collections.
• 16:39
  Speaker 21: Yeah, but it's still the same song. Yeah, it's got
• 16:45
  Speaker 21: different orchestration on it, but it's still the same song.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: We've added the Boston Pops to it.
• 16:51
  Speaker 21: There, and Bernie's out promoting his book. Why is he
• 16:57
  Speaker 21: promoting his book because he wants people to buy it?
• 17:00
  Speaker 21: Does he want them to read it? He doesn't care
• 17:02
  Speaker 21: as long as they buy it, exactly.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: It's exactly just like the pharmaceutical companies. They don't care
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: if you take the drugs, just buy it. Yeah.
• 17:12
  Speaker 21: But I mean, one of the other things that's kind
• 17:15
  Speaker 21: of annoyed me this morning is all these people griping
• 17:18
  Speaker 21: because this alleged bomber was living with his mother.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: I don't think we're griping. I think it's just kind
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: of funny.
• 17:28
  Speaker 21: How old is his mother and is it possible that
• 17:33
  Speaker 21: she is living with him?
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: I don't know. He was twenty one when he planted
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: the bombs. Allegedly he's twenty five. No, he's thirty now,
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: so it would have been twenty five at the time
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: in Woodbridge, Virginia.
• 17:48
  Speaker 21: Okay, maybe maybe his mother is in ill health.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: He's taking care of her and he's like, hey, mom,
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: stay in bed, take yours and I've got to go
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: out and drop off a couple of packages for my friends. Yeah.
• 18:05
  Speaker 21: But also you've been playing Mark Warner, who is getting
• 18:11
  Speaker 21: to be another trigger for me. And the thing, the
• 18:17
  Speaker 21: thing that gets me with Mark Warner, it's like he
• 18:22
  Speaker 21: is just sort of hovering in the shadows, waiting for
• 18:28
  Speaker 21: some kind of scandal to wander by so that he
• 18:32
  Speaker 21: can pounce on it.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: It happened.
• 18:35
  Speaker 21: It happened to be hag Seth right now. I don't
• 18:40
  Speaker 21: remember Mark Warner getting all upset when a member of
• 18:48
  Speaker 21: the Democrat Congress on the Intelligence Committee was found to
• 18:56
  Speaker 21: be sleeping with a Communist spy.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: No, as a matter of fact, isn't Bang Bang or
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: whatever her name is still canoodling with Eric Swallwell.
• 19:07
  Speaker 21: As far as I know, everybody's just said, oh, look
• 19:12
  Speaker 21: at that, now, let's look at something else. That's right,
• 19:16
  Speaker 21: nothing has ever been done, but then again, nobody has
• 19:20
  Speaker 21: ever done anything about the three Pakistani quote unquote computer
• 19:28
  Speaker 21: technicians the Debbie Wasserman Shultz brought into the House of
• 19:34
  Speaker 21: Representatives ten years ago, fifteen years ago, it had full
• 19:43
  Speaker 21: full run of the House computer system, and that they
• 19:48
  Speaker 21: just disappeared back into Pakistan.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: Well, and you know, you know, good for them, because
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: they're there trying to make Pakistan Islamist again. But the
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: the point you raise about all of these things being ignored,
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: this is why I started the program by saying, you know,
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: the magician's trick is not making the rabbit come out
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: of the hat. It's making you not notice where the
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: rabbit came from in the first place. And that's why
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: when Mark Warner's reelection campaign goes on a press conference,
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, well Mark Warner did it, but it was
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: his reelection campaign and said we need to get rid
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: of Pete Hexith right now. Regardless of what Lloyd Austin oversaw.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: Don't remember seeing any failures of the intelligence community when
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: we abandon Afghanistan. And where's Mark Warner on how all
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: of these enemies of our enemies have come up in
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: the United States here in Waynesboro practically down the road
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: from where you live, Matt, you know, living there, sending
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: lawyers guns and money back to Isis and his pop
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: back home. You want to talk about family matters, you know,
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: this guy's this guy's sending you know, rifles and money
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: to pop who's running an Afghan you know terror cell.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: It's but it's this is all the state craft they're
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: they're frantically trying to get us to not notice all
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: this stuff.
• 21:14
  Speaker 21: Yeah, well, I mean this is you know, pay no
• 21:16
  Speaker 21: attention to the man behind the curtain, noep exactly, And
• 21:22
  Speaker 21: with and again with with Mark Warner and so many
• 21:26
  Speaker 21: of these others. They will jump on anything that they
• 21:33
  Speaker 21: think is even slightly askew with the Trump administration because
• 21:39
  Speaker 21: it's Trump.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: Well, but to Bernie Sanders credit. At least, Bernie Sanders
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: has created his own news cycle as opposed to waiting
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: for somebody else to correct it for him. Good stuff, Matt.

  Speaker 5: Whizzard White, the Supreme Court justice used to say he
• 28:36

  Speaker 32: out of their briefcase and uh uh. You know Ron
• 29:08
  Speaker 32: Reagan who did Iowa for a lot of years. My
• 29:10
  Speaker 32: dad grew up in the morning course and he played

• 29:55
  Speaker 32: of things for you as we you know, get that
• 29:58
  Speaker 32: there's gonna be chaos at some point this weekend, and
• 30:01
  Speaker 32: then when the committee goes in Sunday and tries to.
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: Put the bracket together.
• 30:05
  Speaker 32: The number today for Uba, I'll talk about it next hour,
• 30:08
  Speaker 32: but the number for.
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: Today is fifty seven percent.
• 30:11
  Speaker 32: Of Virginia beats Duke, they're going to be in. There's
• 30:14
  Speaker 32: another conference champion slot that they're looking at. BYU needs
• 30:18
  Speaker 32: to try to hold serve. See the Alabama Georgia game
• 30:21
  Speaker 32: means nothing. The Indiana Ohio State game, Yeah, it's going
• 30:25
  Speaker 32: to be made for TV, but you know a lot
• 30:27
  Speaker 32: of storylines.
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: With Indiana, of course.
• 30:29
  Speaker 32: But Kirby Smart, who has been really you know, a
• 30:33
  Speaker 32: saving disciple, believes in the process and also believes in
• 30:36
  Speaker 32: young guys. He played a lot of young players early
• 30:40
  Speaker 32: this year to get them the experience in building for
• 30:43
  Speaker 32: this moment. He goes, why, well, you know, when ask
• 30:46
  Speaker 32: the question, you prepare for moments like this.
• 30:48
  Speaker 19: Play the clip from a former coach who talked about
• 30:52
  Speaker 19: guys not being prepared and maybe not preparing the right way.
• 30:56
  Speaker 19: And these kids, whether they're freshman or sophomores, you know,
• 31:00
  Speaker 19: they're in a long season. You know, we've challenged them,
• 31:02
  Speaker 19: and uh, now it's time to reap some of the
• 31:05
  Speaker 19: rewards from guys having to step up and play, from
• 31:08
  Speaker 19: different guys being injured, different guys being out. You just
• 31:10
  Speaker 19: don't know when your number is going to be called.
• 31:12
  Speaker 32: Yeah, so you know preparation of course, you know Savan's
• 31:14
  Speaker 32: talk preparation till and everybody talks, you know, preparation, Yes,
• 31:18
  Speaker 32: Joe Thomas h Yeah.
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: Question question when when did coaches start using talk radio speak?
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: Play the clip of the you know, play play clip
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: forty two.
• 31:28
  Speaker 32: Please you know, yeah, Ted now they're no, they're doing
• 31:32
  Speaker 32: Ted talks now.
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: And uh, you know, naturally I think it's always I
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: call him OS.
• 31:37
  Speaker 32: But you know, the mentalist is showing up like everywhere,
• 31:40
  Speaker 32: and you know, nailing pin codes and their birth dates and.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, oh I hear you.
• 31:46
  Speaker 32: But anyway, so that I mean because if Alabama loses,
• 31:51
  Speaker 32: is there a chance that Alabama could not get in
• 31:53
  Speaker 32: the playoff?
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 31:54
  Speaker 32: Right, And so now the conspiracy theory is that, uh,
• 31:59
  Speaker 32: the accs to do everything. So if if Duke has
• 32:02
  Speaker 32: like twelve pass interference calls tomorrow night, you know, if
• 32:06
  Speaker 32: they get flagged twelve times for refer you know, get
• 32:10
  Speaker 32: ready for conspiracy on Sunday saying that.
• 32:12
  Speaker 33: Virginia had to get in or the ACC.
• 32:14
  Speaker 32: Doesn't have a Miami is on the outside looking in.
• 32:17
  Speaker 32: They still think that Miami might, you know, have a shot.
• 32:20
  Speaker 32: But here here was a great story that Tony told
• 32:22
  Speaker 32: this week. Tony Elliott, I'm talking about, by.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: The way, ACC Coach of the Year.
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: By the way, yeah, ACC Coach of the Year exactly.
• 32:29
  Speaker 32: Going and going back to the Florida State game which
• 32:33
  Speaker 32: launched the season. Really Florida State was ranked I think
• 32:36
  Speaker 32: they were in the top five, way fourth or something
• 32:38
  Speaker 32: like that. Uv A pulls off the upset, the rush
• 32:40
  Speaker 32: of the crowd and everything. Well, UVA has a when
• 32:44
  Speaker 32: they come into their stadium, they walk down the steps
• 32:46
  Speaker 32: and the defense locks arms and they walked the width
• 32:49
  Speaker 32: of the field. Well, Florida State had to wait in
• 32:51
  Speaker 32: the tunnel before UVA got done walking the field.
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: You know, Florida State wanted to hit the field.
• 32:57
  Speaker 32: But so now Tony said that his guy so Florida
• 33:00
  Speaker 32: States taunting, they're yelling, hey, b Well, Tony said that
• 33:04
  Speaker 32: he watched his defense. He goes, nobody flinched. It was like,
• 33:09
  Speaker 32: you know, a Western show. Nobody flinched, and he goes,
• 33:12
  Speaker 32: I knew then that we might have something special. Well,
• 33:15
  Speaker 32: the same thing happened in Virginia Tech the according to Tony. Now,
• 33:19
  Speaker 32: I'm not but of course the Hokies got pretty mouthy.
• 33:22
  Speaker 32: I mean, even Kyron drones had a statement that said,
• 33:25
  Speaker 32: we live rent.
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: Free in the between in the space between their ears.
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: Nice Kyron, what kind of game do you?
• 33:32
  Speaker 32: We'd like to thank you for participating for having a
• 33:34
  Speaker 32: very average two years. Anyway, with all that being said,
• 33:37
  Speaker 32: Tony said, with the Florida's State game, he knew that
• 33:41
  Speaker 32: he had something special.
• 33:42
  Speaker 34: So I was waiting to see how our guys responded
• 33:45
  Speaker 34: to that. And when they didn't pay any attention to it,
• 33:48
  Speaker 34: and they walked right through it, and they kept their focus.
• 33:51
  Speaker 34: I said, Okay, you know this team right here is
• 33:53
  Speaker 34: past the first test.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: And when you when you.
• 33:55
  Speaker 34: Start talking about those championship caliber games, man, when there's
• 33:59
  Speaker 34: a lot on the line, you can easily get distracted
• 34:02
  Speaker 34: by things that don't matter. And I saw that that
• 34:05
  Speaker 34: similar look in their eye last night.
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: So his mantra, it don't matter.
• 34:12
  Speaker 32: That's the three words, always don't The first game with
• 34:15
  Speaker 32: Duke doesn't matter, the first game, don't you know, it
• 34:18
  Speaker 32: don't matter? All the noise and whatever and so, but
• 34:21
  Speaker 32: the line moved to four. It was like two and
• 34:24
  Speaker 32: a half. But now Virginia is favored by four. Uh,
• 34:28
  Speaker 32: with probably all the money in the world going on
• 34:30
  Speaker 32: Uva following, you know, the game from a few weeks ago.
• 34:33
  Speaker 32: So with all that being said, there's just so much
• 34:36
  Speaker 32: talk about you know, Ole Miss will probably get in
• 34:39
  Speaker 32: and if if Virginia holds serve, UVA could be playing
• 34:43
  Speaker 32: a first round game at ole Miss.
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: Okay, so if you know, if it gets that far.
• 34:49
  Speaker 32: I even hate to speculate like that because so much
• 34:51
  Speaker 32: can happen and it so there are enough storylines with
• 34:56
  Speaker 32: the CFP and everything and all the you know, the debating,
• 35:00
  Speaker 32: what's going on. Don't forget Carla Williams is on the
• 35:02
  Speaker 32: committee and so people.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: Complain athletic ad for.
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: UVA is on the committee. Okay, so uh anyway, well.
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: And it's made for TV too, you know, with you know,
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: and especially if they're playing you know, old miss you know,
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: it's Lane Kiffin and the carpet bag has left the
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: building and and you know, and it's the team rallying there.
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: But it's UVA and the three dead football players and
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: you know, you know, you don't have to have EESP
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: or N in your radio stations call letters to figure
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: that one out.
• 35:37
  Speaker 32: Yeah, so we've had this great season. Two days, nine conferences,
• 35:43
  Speaker 32: eighteen teams, twelve college football spots. The slate is full
• 35:48
  Speaker 32: of chaos, upsets and uh, you know your hard rock
• 35:52
  Speaker 32: cafe app if you you know, you want to play
• 35:55
  Speaker 32: the ponies.
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: But it's it's a lot of shots.
• 35:57
  Speaker 32: And Saturday, I think Saturday during the day and I
• 36:01
  Speaker 32: didn't look up the time UVA plays basketball, Yes, Saturday
• 36:05
  Speaker 32: in Charlotte.
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: So with their great win.
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: You know, and by the way, at least at least
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: the ACC is back to dominating in basketball, I mean
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: for a little while. It looked like the SEC was
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: going to wind up being a big because they had
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: what three of the fine final four last year.
• 36:21
  Speaker 32: And I think that, I think college football, with all
• 36:23
  Speaker 32: the mess and stuff, you know, the calendar, I think
• 36:26
  Speaker 32: they're going to take a long look after this year
• 36:29
  Speaker 32: that you know, you're how much do the conference championships mean?
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: Do they do?
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: They really tell the tale?
• 36:35
  Speaker 32: And I think probably yes, they're still because like for example,
• 36:39
  Speaker 32: the ACC championship game means everything.
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: Virginia's got to win their end.
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: If they lose, you know, well then why have conference
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: you know, just have East, you know, to divide the
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: league like you do the NHL. You've got you know,
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: the Northeast, Southwest, you know, and or the NFL, you know,
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: six conferences.
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: So that's what they're talking about.
• 36:56
  Speaker 32: Because of the tiebreaker that Miami, you know, the you know,
• 37:00
  Speaker 32: Coastal versus the Atlantic Atlantic, you would have had Miami
• 37:04
  Speaker 32: in Virginia playing for the conference title.
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: And that's what you know.
• 37:07
  Speaker 32: So the TV people are looking at this going, oh
• 37:10
  Speaker 32: my god, a JMU first round game against they don't
• 37:15
  Speaker 32: want that as good as JMU is and.
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: The Garrisonburg Where's Arisenburg Conference?
• 37:22
  Speaker 32: Conference USA starts it all Kennesa State against the Jacksonville
• 37:26
  Speaker 32: State Gamecocks. So it's uh, you know, that's that's where
• 37:30
  Speaker 32: we are, and it's gonna be a fun It's gonna
• 37:32
  Speaker 32: be a fun couple of days.

  Speaker 32: Storylines and an hours hours of conversation.
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I'm sure you've got you know, snowstorms and
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: Harrisonburg for Troy and JMU today. So it's it ain't

  Speaker 36: Good morning Joe. Enjoying a nice snowy Friday in central Virginia.
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: Great to be with you.
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: I understand that you know the snow you're further south
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: than I am, is deeper down that way. Usually the
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: snow is much deeper in Washington, but it's more metaphorical
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: snow than otherwise.
• 45:00
  Speaker 36: Yeah, we got about four inches here in Farmville. It's
• 45:02
  Speaker 36: still coming down and so it's a pretty snowy morning.
• 45:06
  Speaker 36: I'm going to get out in it as soon as
• 45:07
  Speaker 36: I finish.
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: Up with you. Had lunch in Farmville yesterday at Charlie's
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: by the River. There was having a meeting and enjoyed
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: a little of Farmville's finance. And by the way, kids,
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: it's not like the one you used to find on
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: Facebook at all. So I made the case. And you've
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: been around for all this, you know, the hysteria over
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: this report from the Inspector General and how the press
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: is writing narrative by way of the headlines that don't
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: even match their own stories regarding what was in the
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: Inspector General's report, basically saying Pete Hegseth did nothing wrong
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: and if he released something, he has the authority to
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: release it anyway because he's the Secretary of War. I mean,
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: part one is this is just General Flynn all over again.
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: Trump's hired people who don't know what they're doing and all.
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: And I do want to get into the story about
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: how we all of a sudden were able to find
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: the guy who planted the bombs at the RNC. But
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: this stuff about you know, Pete Hegsith and Mark Warners
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: out there getting his fifteen minutes of fame again about
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: it is also about driving AI's coverage of the story.
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: So if all the headlines say the IG's report said
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: Hegesith broke the law, AI, if you search the Internet
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: is going to tell you ninety percent of the population
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: Pete Heggsath broke the law and they're going to want
• 46:34
  Speaker 5: him fired when that's not what happened at all.
• 46:38
  Speaker 36: Now and where this really comes from, as you know,
• 46:40
  Speaker 36: the attacks on Pete haig Sith. They hate what President
• 46:43
  Speaker 36: Trump and Secretary hegg Seth are doing with respect to
• 46:47
  Speaker 36: refocusing our military on force readiness, effectiveness, lethality, getting out
• 46:53
  Speaker 36: the DEI and the woke and the transgenderism in our military,
• 46:57
  Speaker 36: raising the standards in terms of performance standards and physical
• 47:00
  Speaker 36: fitness standards and those sorts of things being you know,
• 47:04
  Speaker 36: calling it the Secretary excuse the Department of Warrants and
• 47:06
  Speaker 36: the Department of Defense putting the focus offensive versus just defensive.
• 47:11
  Speaker 36: And they hate what Heggszeth and Donald Trump represent in
• 47:15
  Speaker 36: terms of recognize who the purpose of our military is,
• 47:17
  Speaker 36: which is to be the most effective, efficient, lethal fighting
• 47:21
  Speaker 36: machines that no one wants to challenge us. That should
• 47:23
  Speaker 36: be used sparingly only when necessary. But we're at the
• 47:26
  Speaker 36: ready to defend our nation, defend our nation's strategic interests
• 47:29
  Speaker 36: in our national security. That's what they hate, and all
• 47:32
  Speaker 36: the rest of it is just opportunities for them to
• 47:34
  Speaker 36: try to attack and to undermine and to diminish what
• 47:38
  Speaker 36: President Trump and Hegseth they're doing, which has been excellent,
• 47:42
  Speaker 36: outstanding with respect our military.
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: How many times in your years in Congress, Bob, did
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: somebody bring up, you know, the war powers. And we
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: took a little war powers reality tour yesterday for the
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: listeners who hear it, and they're like, well, I guess
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: it's in the Constitution and all and the reality versus
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: the bloviations and most of it going back to nineteen
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: seventy three in Vietnam. They're regarding the actions that might
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: happen in Venezuela. Are you watching any of this and
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: what are your takes on this rhetoric about the war powers.
• 48:25
  Speaker 36: Well, you know, there can be competing truths or dual truths,
• 48:28
  Speaker 36: and truth is you know, it should be applied irrespective
• 48:31
  Speaker 36: who's in office and what party is in power, what
• 48:34
  Speaker 36: have you. And so, yes, we talked a lot about
• 48:37
  Speaker 36: the constitutional limits of the executive branch and the congressional
• 48:41
  Speaker 36: authority and responsibility as describing the constitution of some very
• 48:45
  Speaker 36: important tasks such as declaring war, committing our troops into
• 48:49
  Speaker 36: battle and those sorts of things, and how important that
• 48:52
  Speaker 36: was for Congress to exercise that authority, whether it was
• 48:55
  Speaker 36: Biden in office, who I served with unfortunately, or my
• 48:58
  Speaker 36: four years, or whether it's the current president, President Trump.
• 49:02
  Speaker 36: Uh and and you and I have talked many times,
• 49:05
  Speaker 36: and it's a much larger broader discussion about the Article
• 49:08
  Speaker 36: one power of the legislative branch being continued to be
• 49:12
  Speaker 36: surrendered and to the to the executive branch, the legislative
• 49:16
  Speaker 36: branch surrendering its power to check the president, to again
• 49:21
  Speaker 36: be the House of Representative, in particular, to be the
• 49:24
  Speaker 36: ones responsible for committing our troops to war and answering
• 49:26
  Speaker 36: to the American people as a result of doing that.
• 49:29
  Speaker 36: So that can be true even with what I just
• 49:32
  Speaker 36: said a few moments ago about how important it is
• 49:36
  Speaker 36: the work that President Trump and PEX are doing with
• 49:38
  Speaker 36: respect to refocusing our military where it should be. But
• 49:42
  Speaker 36: the bottom line is it is Congress who has already
• 49:45
  Speaker 36: to declare war. And so therefore also when it applies
• 49:48
  Speaker 36: to Venezuela, the president is talking about regime change, he's
• 49:53
  Speaker 36: talking about attacking or invading Venezuela, going on land, not
• 49:56
  Speaker 36: just doing what they're doing with the drug boats at sea.
• 49:59
  Speaker 36: That's that that's a responsible of Congress to make those decisions.
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: Well, isn't this also part And I brought this up
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: because you know, I know that a lot of the
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: quote War on drugs has been you know, speech making
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: and that kind of thing, but there have been laws
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: and there have been legislations that empower this under the
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: banner of the war on drugs. President Trump has talked
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: about going after these drug manufacturing facilities. I mean, if
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: there was somebody building missiles in Venezuela and sending them
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: to Cuba to point at the United States, wouldn't that
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: be something? And if they're sending if they're just brewing
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: fentanyl there to send to the Issates, or cocaine or heroin,
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: isn't that you know, an interest as well, especially if
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: the administration in Venezuela seems to be either complicit or
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: wilfully ignorant of it.
• 50:54
  Speaker 36: Well, you make a valid point. And while there is
• 50:56
  Speaker 36: constitutional tension there, and it is true what someone like
• 51:00
  Speaker 36: rand Paul has the courage to speak and a rare
• 51:03
  Speaker 36: lone voice seemingly on this issue from a congressional standpoint,
• 51:07
  Speaker 36: But what I think the administration would be well suited
• 51:10
  Speaker 36: is to provide to first of all, make sure we're
• 51:13
  Speaker 36: focused on eliminating the threat, and we're eliminating and focused
• 51:17
  Speaker 36: appropriately protecting the United States, our national security interests, our
• 51:20
  Speaker 36: safety and our security, our national defense and so forth.
• 51:21
  Speaker 36: And the President is right to focus on that. However,
• 51:24
  Speaker 36: we be well served to bring forth the proof and
• 51:27
  Speaker 36: the evidence for you know, for example, the boats that
• 51:30
  Speaker 36: are headed this way, a can they reach our shores
• 51:33
  Speaker 36: be you know, what is the proof that everybody on
• 51:37
  Speaker 36: board was an actually drug smuggler was guilty. Rand Paul
• 51:41
  Speaker 36: has made the point out about twenty five percent of
• 51:43
  Speaker 36: the arrests near our shores by Coastguard for drugs proof
• 51:47
  Speaker 36: end up not being true, not being accurate, and that's
• 51:51
  Speaker 36: you know, obviously much greater consequence when you're actually just
• 51:53
  Speaker 36: balling up and killing everybody on board if you have
• 51:55
  Speaker 36: a twenty five percent inaccurate rate, if you will. So,
• 52:02
  Speaker 36: while we want to protect the United States, we want
• 52:04
  Speaker 36: and you know, protect from from these drug smugglers who
• 52:07
  Speaker 36: are coming on our shore, I think the White House
• 52:10
  Speaker 36: would be better serve in the administration meta serf. They
• 52:11
  Speaker 36: would go ahead and bring the evidence forward to Congress
• 52:14
  Speaker 36: and to the public, so we could it's not questioned
• 52:18
  Speaker 36: from a secretive standpoint point.
• 52:20
