• 0:52
  Speaker 5: area of the listening area as well affiliates right or
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: all around here. We're going to visit some on our
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: way to Dallas for seapack and so much to get into,
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: and so much of the news of the world to
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: get into. A couple of you text messaging on this
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: Charia Free America concus This one from Mike who says,
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: my God, please don't let my congressman be on this list.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: I like him and he's going to lose the next
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: re election if he's in this Well, why do you
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: say that, Mike, I mean to me, you know that
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: I'd like to think nobody is a one issue person.
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: I understand that the marshaled herds of those who will
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: claim care has already denounced this Sharia free concus Tom
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: Emmer's part of it, Byron Donald's, Randy Fine, Corey Mills,
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: Andy Biggs, some of them leaving Congress, Andy Biggs, and
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: Byron Donald's running for other stuff back home home. But
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: John McGuire and and Ben Klein from Virginia, Mike Carodopolis
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: from the Treasure Coast, Mike Kelly and Scott Perry from Pennsylvania,
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: Andy Ogles from here in Tennessee, Ralph Northam, not Northam,
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Norman from South Carolina, Andy Clyde from Georgia. And it's
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: not about and if you read some of the hate
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: mail about this Sharia free, it's not about whipping a
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: little Christianity on you. It's just the opposite, because you
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: understand it. Just like the fairness doctrine, which apparently is
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: catching steam again. A lot of Conservos want to bring
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: back the fairness doctrine because they think they can use
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: it against guys.
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: Like, uh, you picked the late night host who's still
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: got any viewers there, and I'm not here to promote them.
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: But that's what they think is going to happen, and
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: it's not. It's going to be used against conservative voices
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: and you're getting baited into a fight that we tried
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: to win years ago. Department of Education's Office for Civil
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: Rights opened too new investigations into Harvard University over allegations
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: of discrimination tied to admission practices and campus conditions regarding
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: anti Semitic rhetoric chanted at Jewish community members on campus
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: and the university's response to it. Ukraine says they have
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: irrefutable evidence that Russia continues to provide intelligence and support
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: to Iran that may have come from the video Vladimi
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: or Putin, the President of Russia, posted to social media
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: congratulating Iranian leaders on No Ruz and saying that Moscow
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: remained a loyal friend and a role liable partner to Tehran.
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: The Senate confirmed Mark Wayne Mullen as the new Security
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: Secretary of Homeland Security yesterday. Now he just needs a
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: budget to run the operations. Still without budget, the TSA
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: agents call out sick rather than work without pay as
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: long as they have comp time coming to them. ICE
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: officers trying to backstop that shortage, and Democrats still demigoguing
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: the incidents in Minneapolis as reasons for defunding ICE.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: A package that would have separated ICE ICE's budget from
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: the Department of Homeland Security was presented to Donald Trump,
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: who said he did not support that deal. President Trump
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: said Monday US was talking with a respected Iranian leader
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: that claimed that the Islamic Republic was eager for a
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: deal to.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: End the war.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: Trump told a gaggle of reporters that Aron wants to
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: make a deal and claimed US Envoy Steve Whitcoff and
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Trump's son in law Jared Kushner, had held talks with
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: the Iranian leaders on Sunday. Meanwhile, Vice President JD. Vance
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: held meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin netanyahuo Monday about
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: the efforts to renew war ending negotiations with Iran and
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: a big deal. US and Total Energies of France have
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: signed a deal that has the French wind turbine manufacturing
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: company repurpose one billion dollars in spending into natural gas
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: and oil production rather than building more wind farms, and
• 5:49

• 13:21
  Speaker 22: Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: this morning as we track the lunatic fringe who distant
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: continue to wrap themselves in plausibility. It is they've wrapped
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: their sucking chest wound of Marxism with plausibility gauze, and
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: they think that's going to be enough and you don't
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: have to. I mean, here's a great point of order.
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: I just read two days ago that Vietnam's government, their
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: parliament is ninety seven percent Communist Party members. Again, this
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: was after falling off of Communism in parliamentary elections over
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: the last ten years. Yet at the same time they're
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: almost out of oil. And of course the argument is
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: but it's because Trump, because Trump and Iran and couldn't
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: leave well enough alone, and we had the grift figured out.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Speaking of grift, we told you the story earlier of
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: what happens when you have massive federal budgets or state
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: budgets or city budgets. This is Amy Davis KPRC in
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: Houston and issues.
• 15:05
  Speaker 23: Tools and equipment to public works employees from this warehouse.
• 15:09
  Speaker 23: But we found some employees buying the same tools and
• 15:12
  Speaker 23: equipment with their city issued credit cards, hundreds of thousands
• 15:16
  Speaker 23: of dollars worth.
• 15:17
  Speaker 24: There was a scheme a couple of employees that we're
• 15:20
  Speaker 24: aware of that for a series of years, we're using
• 15:23
  Speaker 24: a PEA card to make purchases of tools and then
• 15:28
  Speaker 24: selling those tools on their own and pocketing the money.
• 15:30
  Speaker 23: I wanted to talk to you about all the tools
• 15:31
  Speaker 23: that you purchased with your City of Houston pea card.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: And by the way, she's not in one of the
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: tonier suburbs of Houston. She isn't in Corpus Christie and
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: somebody's beach front house. I can't see the house, but
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: the billionaire Boys Club cut off T shirt the fellow
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: is wearing. And the fact that he is. He is
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: hidden amongst the shadows very easily should tell you all
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: you need to know about this store and the backgrounds
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: of the folks who are doing the grift.
• 16:03
  Speaker 23: Where did all those tools go?
• 16:05
  Speaker 14: Or?
• 16:05
  Speaker 20: This is my name is Ammy Davis.
• 16:06
  Speaker 23: I'm Recordable Channels.
• 16:08
  Speaker 18: Okay.
• 16:08
  Speaker 23: This post is from one of his Instagram accounts selling
• 16:11
  Speaker 23: three new Milwaukee Compact cordless drill sets. The post read's
• 16:16
  Speaker 23: original price was seven hundred dollars. He sold them for
• 16:19
  Speaker 23: four fifty. City credit card statements show he purchased this
• 16:23
  Speaker 23: cordless drill set one hundred and ninety times.
• 16:26
  Speaker 24: There is an active investigation with law enforcement right now
• 16:29
  Speaker 24: to continue to look into not only what has taken place,
• 16:32
  Speaker 24: but are there others involved? Where does it go from there?
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: So so far Channel two in Houston's figures, about three
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: hundred and forty six thousand dollars out of a seven
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: billion dollar city budget has been stolen by these grifters,
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: who've seen the fact that city has tons of money.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Seven billion dollar budget sounds like nobody's going to miss
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: three hundred and forty six thousand. And by the way,
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: you're a racist for saying that we stole because We're
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: just a couple of black guys who stole. Well, stealing
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: is stealing regardless, and don't blame other people for it.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: But that's part of the blame game stuff we were
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: talking about earlier there. But this one on the idea
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: of government grift private sector versus government grift. Government employees
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: have a huge advantage. Just last week, Labor Departments Inspector
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: General Charles wrights In said the Job Corps workers and
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: students had used their cash cards intended for travel stipends
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: to pay for personal items like phone bills, shopping sprees
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: at JC Penny, and trips to the hair salon, according
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: to The Washington Times. According to the report, the Pentagon
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: bureaucrats used their government credit cards more than eleven thousand
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: transactions at everything including casinos, nightclubs, and bars. James Comer
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: has finally said, hey, we better look into this. And
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: oh but James Comer is a friend of ours. He's
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: one hours Joe. Yeah. But the massiveness of the money
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: that's allocated to this grift is stunning. You're not going
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: to find everyone nipping a little bit off the sides
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: of a seven billion dollar city budget or a thirty
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: trillion dollar federal budget. Every time we get a court
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: clerk that was paying their mortgage with you know, their
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: per diem or something along those lines, and we hang
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: them up from the yard arm. But the city councilors
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: who set up these seven billion dollar budgets and then
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: you know, hand out patronage through it, through the slush
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: fund that is the capital expenditures budgets of these is stunning.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: It's stunning. I mean enough to stun a horse. So
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: when we round up guys who are working in the
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: public Works department and they decide, you know what, we're
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: gonna get a little something for himself. But I'm not
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: excusing it. Theft is theft. What they should have done is,
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: you know, work the system gotten you know, a position,
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: you know, as a director of one of these slush funds,
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: like the capital expenditure budget or one of the eddies
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: and currents. Maybe it's facilities maintenance, maybe it's plaques, parks
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: and playgrounds, you name it. That's where that's where the
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: real money is in the government grift. And I want
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: to hit this because we're going to get into school choice.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: After Max Swarts coming up, the Southern Poverty Law Center,
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: who on two different occasions has listed people I work
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: with closely as hate groups currently several Heritage Foundation, Virginia
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Institute for Public Policy. These folks are hate groups, and
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: so I feel for this. The Michigan Attorney General was
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: in court for the Michigan Attorney General's office was in
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: court and the judge was asked if the Attorney General
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: would commit to not using the Southern Poverty Law Center's
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: hate map as the state's source for who they considered
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: hate groups, your honor, Solicitor General. Solicitor General Kayla Barranco said,
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: on behalf of a g nessel, your honor, They don't
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: have any intention to. I can tell you that is
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: that a yes or no? And I can tell you
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: that the Attorney General will be out of office in
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: eight months. So let me ask you how long did
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: it take to round up most of the January sixth participants.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, I believe that most of them were in custody,
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: never to see the inside of a courtroom in less
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: than eight months. But you go go to the Southern
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: Poverty Law Center. If you want to give yourself AJDA
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: this morning, go to the Southern Poverty Law Center website.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: And look at who's a hate group. I don't have time,
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: you know, we're coming up on the news here, but
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: you'll see a lot of people associated with this program.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: You will see this program. Yet we're not big fish
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: enough for them, but they'll get around to us. And
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: I have been on their list at least twice. And
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: they have a big branch right in my hometown here
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: in Charlottesville. Oh, they're proud of Charlottesville. Maybe they'll take
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: up the case of the murderer Cornhole champion Brandt and
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: her name is Shary I love.
• 22:04
  Speaker 25: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 25: for because of a surgery. She just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 26: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  Speaker 26: talk about all the time, which.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: Is meta share.
• 22:14
  Speaker 26: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 25: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
• 22:17
  Speaker 25: and healthcare ability?
• 22:18
  Speaker 26: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is when
• 22:21
  Speaker 26: you're already nervous about a health issue which I was.
• 22:24
  Speaker 26: Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 26: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 26: call in with your need that is just refreshing. Yes,
• 22:34
  Speaker 26: that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: What I keep telling people.
• 22:36
  Speaker 25: People love meta share and they love saving money. The
• 22:39
  Speaker 25: typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 26: I am very thankful for Meta share. It is so different,
• 22:46
  Speaker 26: and I mean different in a very very good way.
• 22:48
  Speaker 25: It is good different Call now. They're easy to talk

  Speaker 27: Hi.

  Speaker 28: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
• 23:06
  Speaker 28: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
• 23:11
  Speaker 28: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
• 23:16
  Speaker 28: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
• 23:20
  Speaker 28: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
• 23:25
  Speaker 28: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:31
  Speaker 28: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
• 23:34
  Speaker 28: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
• 23:40
  Speaker 28: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
• 23:44
  Speaker 28: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
• 23:48
  Speaker 28: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
• 23:53
  Speaker 28: center of our profession. For more information on AI and

• 24:13
  Speaker 19: nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day

• 24:32
  Speaker 19: age and poor diet can lead to a loss of

  Speaker 20: It is time for.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: The great one. Mac McDonald, who a man you know
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: who has never uttered. The headline Champion cornhole winner arrested
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: outside Charlottesville hospital for murder is the headline. Yes, is real.
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: I don't know what it is about, you know, Charlottesville.
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: But this guy apparently he's a quadruple amputee and became
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: you know, overcame all that, became a cornhole champion. I'm
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: not sure how that works, if there's a field of
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: sixty four or anything, but had become a cornhole champion,
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: apparently got into an argument Sunday night in his tesla
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: in some part of La Plata, Maryland, shot shot his
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: friend in his tesla or I presume you know, some
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: some physical place. I mean he was sitting in his
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: tesla and then dumped the body and drove to Charlottesville.
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure why, but where people.
• 29:16
  Speaker 20: Only the second dumbest sport besides Cornell. That's only the
• 29:19
  Speaker 20: second dumbest sport, maybe the third, that I have seen
• 29:22
  Speaker 20: in my lifetime. We have a there's a place up
• 29:24
  Speaker 20: in Daytona, about twenty minutes from where I live, where
• 29:27
  Speaker 20: they you know, where they throw axes, you know, at
• 29:30
  Speaker 20: the bar where they flip the axe into the you know,
• 29:32
  Speaker 20: and I know that takes a little skill.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: Now, you go to a good Celtic games, they try
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: to catch the ashes. That's that's the ones you gotta
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: watch out.
• 29:40
  Speaker 20: And I told you my Celtic story. But the guy
• 29:41
  Speaker 20: made fun of the McDonald's plan. So I'm not a
• 29:44
  Speaker 20: real Celtic guy anymore, you know, proud of the heritage
• 29:47
  Speaker 20: or whatever. And maybe the third and one day I'll explain,
• 29:50
  Speaker 20: was an Irish bar in Milwaukee where they were they
• 29:53
  Speaker 20: were walking the length of a bar which had look
• 29:56
  Speaker 20: real long bar where they were dropping quarters out of
• 29:58
  Speaker 20: their backsides into metal buckets.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: And that was a team event on.
• 30:02
  Speaker 27: A Monday night.
• 30:03
  Speaker 20: So I've seen I think I've seen it all, you know,
• 30:07
  Speaker 20: as far as Okay, i've heard it all too after
• 30:10
  Speaker 20: what happened and what I saw. First of all, I
• 30:13
  Speaker 20: want to give congrats, kudos coach Max. They're in the
• 30:16
  Speaker 20: Sweet sixteam for the first time since two thousand. Talking
• 30:19
  Speaker 20: about the University of Virginia and they were down nine
• 30:21
  Speaker 20: in the fourth quarter. They were dead buried. I got
• 30:25
  Speaker 20: in my car after class, I turned on the game
• 30:28
  Speaker 20: and sure enough got it to overtime in Virginia ends
• 30:31
  Speaker 20: up beating Iowa in Iowa, you know, in Iowa City,
• 30:35
  Speaker 20: which is not easy to do without play three seed
• 30:38
  Speaker 20: TCU Saturday and Sacramento. Anyway, Kamara Johnson and a little
• 30:42
  Speaker 20: coach Marx with a little postgame.
• 30:44
  Speaker 34: I think we had confidence going into the Georgia game,
• 30:46
  Speaker 34: going to the Arizona State game. I mean, just coming
• 30:48
  Speaker 34: into March. You know, we're a confident team, and I
• 30:51
  Speaker 34: think we believe in all the work that we put in.
• 30:53
  Speaker 34: Not a lot of people have and they've written us off.
• 30:55
  Speaker 34: But you know, we came into March trying to show
• 30:58
  Speaker 34: what Virginia's about.
• 30:59
  Speaker 35: The fact that we didn't fold this season, even when
• 31:02
  Speaker 35: we had ups and downs, even the way that we
• 31:04
  Speaker 35: ended the regular season, things like that. That's growth and
• 31:08
  Speaker 35: that's going to help them. You know, when this bas
• 31:09
  Speaker 35: stops bouncing.
• 31:10
  Speaker 20: See here's the thing, and I'm going deeper. Here's the
• 31:13
  Speaker 20: thing about the NCAA Tournament. I don't care if it's
• 31:15
  Speaker 20: men's or women's a lot of things can happen to
• 31:18
  Speaker 20: a program, but if one thing is for sure, you
• 31:21
  Speaker 20: can showcase what you are building. Win or lose if
• 31:25
  Speaker 20: you lose, you know, like like and I'll have more
• 31:28
  Speaker 20: on Kenny Brooks, Waynesboro native Kenny Brooks. You know JMU
• 31:32
  Speaker 20: Virginia Tech now Kentucky back to back Sweet sixteen's at Kentucky.
• 31:37
  Speaker 20: They beat West Virginia by one last You know, you
• 31:40
  Speaker 20: can really showcase what the heck you're doing with your program.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: When do you win or lose?
• 31:45
  Speaker 20: You know what you're doing now? Yes, Joe Joe Thomas
• 31:49
  Speaker 20: w t O.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: But you can do that if you hold on to
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: your damn players. If like what happened to Mike True,
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: Mike Young last year, as soon as the team struggled,
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: everyone was heading for the transfer portal. And that's the thing.
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, if you if you go out in the
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: field of sixty four, but you made it. I mean,
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: look at we talked about Gonzaga. Does Goodzaga become a
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: national powerhouse basketball team in the era of even one
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: and done? Never mind the transfer.
• 32:21
  Speaker 20: Portal because and I've heard coaches say, and you bring
• 32:25
  Speaker 20: up a great point as always, because your IQ is fishing.
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: Point higher than mine, Donny.
• 32:31
  Speaker 20: And you bring up a good point by saying, because
• 32:33
  Speaker 20: I've heard coaches say we have to recruit harder, especially now,
• 32:38
  Speaker 20: within our program than you do outside the program.
• 32:43
  Speaker 27: You know you're.
• 32:43
  Speaker 20: Recruiting harder to get kids to stay. Well, you're gonna
• 32:46
  Speaker 20: love this story last night when I saw the score,
• 32:48
  Speaker 20: when I saw the halftime score last night, Syracuse head
• 32:51
  Speaker 20: coach Felicia Lega Jack and I'll talk more about it
• 32:54
  Speaker 20: next hour is very disturbed about the committee and where
• 32:58
  Speaker 20: because her team drew Yukon again in Hartford second round
• 33:03
  Speaker 20: last night. I looked at my phone checking scores, which
• 33:06
  Speaker 20: is what I do at night this time of year.
• 33:08
  Speaker 20: Sixty five twelve oh half, oh sixty five.
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: Twelve and half.
• 33:14
  Speaker 20: So Syracuse loses to Gino Yukon thirty six and oh
• 33:19
  Speaker 20: ninety eight forty five. So Alicia Legga Jack had a
• 33:24
  Speaker 20: few and she's you know, she's a legend and there
• 33:28
  Speaker 20: so she had a few words.
• 33:29
  Speaker 36: We I thought deserved a little more respect after being
• 33:33
  Speaker 36: in his business for thirty seven years and to have
• 33:36
  Speaker 36: to come and be in this particular bracket every freaking
• 33:41
  Speaker 36: year is unacceptable.
• 33:42
  Speaker 22: It's wrong for.
• 33:44
  Speaker 36: Us to continue to come to Connecticut year after year
• 33:48
  Speaker 36: after year.
• 33:49
  Speaker 22: It's a personal.
• 33:50
  Speaker 20: Attack, personal attack on the program.
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: She sounds like some committee member of Has she been
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: dating Jim Beheim because that sounds like what happened what
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: he says when he loses same thing.
• 34:02
  Speaker 20: You know, it's that Syracuse uh snub. You know, you
• 34:05
  Speaker 20: would have been better if you stayed in the Big East.
• 34:07
  Speaker 20: Probably so anyway, but South Carolina won by forty last night.
• 34:10
  Speaker 20: Maybe USC by forty.
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: You know, that's an interesting one. So if u v A,
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: who for a year has there's a sports reporter named
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: what's his name, it's it's he's got an alliterative, it's
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: m M. His initials has been all over uv A
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: basketball for not hiring Don Staley, who is a legend
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: at uv A. Oh yes, that might have been me,
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: It might have been you. But that's that sets up
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: a matchup between u v A and and South Carolina.
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: If u v yeah beats TCU this weekend.
• 34:42
  Speaker 20: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's exactly that's exactly right. So
• 34:45
  Speaker 20: in anyway you're looking, I'm looking for the South Carolina
• 34:50
  Speaker 20: Yukon returned to the final in a way, Okay, So
• 34:54
  Speaker 20: the headline last night. I don't know if you've watched
• 34:57
  Speaker 20: any of the tg L, it's the Door Tiger Golf League.
• 35:02
  Speaker 20: I did see they play in Jupiter. One of our
• 35:05
  Speaker 20: one of our instructors, was a producer last night for
• 35:07
  Speaker 20: a production company. They're doing a documentary in this tgo.
• 35:11
  Speaker 20: It's half stupid, half fun, half expensive. It's like three
• 35:15
  Speaker 20: hundred dollars a ticket, but they're hitting into this eighty
• 35:18
  Speaker 20: foot uh simulator indoor golf.
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: Now where where? Because the video I saw it looked
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: like it didn't look big enough to be like a
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: college basketball arena. It's big, but it was Yeah, it
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: looks big enough to have been like, you know, one
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: of those Renaissance Fair restaurants where they joused on the
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: floor or something like that.
• 35:38
  Speaker 33: Exactly.
• 35:38
  Speaker 20: No, that's that's well, that's well said. Okay, So last night,
• 35:43
  Speaker 20: Tommy Fleetwood's LA team wins. So it's a three game
• 35:46
  Speaker 20: championship series. So Tiger has been coaching, but he's been

  Speaker 20: And now the speculation is that Tiger may make a
• 36:11
  Speaker 20: go at the Masters, which isn't gonna happen. But how
• 36:14
  Speaker 20: about this story on the Rich Eisen Show from Max Homa,
• 36:16
  Speaker 20: who's on the Jupiter Links team, and tells the story
• 36:20
  Speaker 20: about when Tiger He was a three time winner at
• 36:23
  Speaker 20: the time, when Tiger had some words for Max Homa
• 36:26
  Speaker 20: a few years.
• 36:27
  Speaker 37: Ago, and he very seriously looked at me and said,
• 36:30
  Speaker 37: you know, it should be a lot more, and it
• 36:31
  Speaker 37: just kind of kept walking. And I was like, all right,
• 36:33
  Speaker 37: I'm gonna remember that one because I think things that
• 36:35
  Speaker 37: could be winning more, I should probably also believe that.
• 36:38
  Speaker 37: So it was a really cool thing. And also in
• 36:40
  Speaker 37: a very Tiger way, you know, very very very sincerely
• 36:43
  Speaker 37: and aggressively told me I am underachieving.
• 36:46
  Speaker 20: Oh so Tiger. Tiger casts the shadow everywhere with you,
• 36:52
  Speaker 20: whether he praises you or saying and he looked at
• 36:54

  Speaker 38: strongly believe that no one should ever pay one penny
• 38:08
  Speaker 38: more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately, for
• 38:13
  Speaker 38: most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case. Why because
• 38:17
  Speaker 38: most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway than
• 38:21
  Speaker 38: trying to ensure they're going to pay less than taxes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 38: My financial fitness team has put together some materials that
• 38:27
  Speaker 38: I know are going to help you. It's the Tax
• 38:29
  Speaker 38: Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
• 38:35
  Speaker 38: top ten ways to pay less than taxes, and an

  Speaker 18: Yes?
• 39:09
  Speaker 19: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
• 39:13
  Speaker 19: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 19: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 19: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
• 39:28
  Speaker 19: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 39:33
  Speaker 19: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 19: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

  Speaker 19: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in

• 44:46
  Speaker 5: Coffee Shops, so we're gonna head up there for coffee.
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: They only just opened a little while ago. Anyway, we're
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: gonna bother them, and like, hey, can we have three
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: or four of your tables that you know. I'm sure
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: you're busy with us, but I'm told it's just great
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: coffee and and bake goods and stuff up there up there,
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: up on Lookout Mountain. But enough about me, let's talk
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: about you. What do you think of me? No, I'm sorry,
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: it's silliness. Joining us a special guest. He's just written
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: a book called Let Our Children Go, Ray Moore, one
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: of the great voices in the idea of parents having
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: authority over how their kids learn, is on with us. Ray,
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: is an honor to have you on the program. How
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: are you doing this morning, sir?
• 45:29
  Speaker 27: Thank you.
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: I'm no, no, no, this is Joe Thomas. Hang on
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: a second. That's that's all right. You can hang on
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: one second. Here, We've got your your your line is
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: not coming through, so let me just get you here
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: so that we can we can all hear you because
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: I heard you in the studio. So Ray, And if
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: you met Bob Jones, the golfer, I'll take that because
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: I'm sure he has a better retirement fund than I do.
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: But just I thought we were making such great headway
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: about four or five three to five years ago, as
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: we went through the school choice movement, perhaps flashpointing with
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: the Virginia Governor Terry mccaulliffe saying, you know, parents have
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: no right to you know, know what their kids are
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: learning in school. And since then, is it because the
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: conservative parents, choice minded folks walked away and thought we
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: had done our business, or or have the tactics of
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: the authoritarian left, you know, regrouped and come up with
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: new ways to get our children away from us.
• 46:46
  Speaker 27: No, we're continuing to make enormous strides. So you might
• 46:51
  Speaker 27: be reading the situation improperly. The opposition that were recently
• 46:57
  Speaker 27: gotten from the left with these anti home school bills
• 47:02
  Speaker 27: is a sign of progress. Now pushing back. They're pushing
• 47:07
  Speaker 27: back because of all the gains at homeschooling and private
• 47:11
  Speaker 27: Christian schools are making. We don't know how big homeschooling
• 47:18
  Speaker 27: is because it's growing so rapidly and is fluid, but
• 47:22
  Speaker 27: there may be five, even up to six million children.
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: Being homeschool Now that's great news for the future.
• 47:31
  Speaker 27: Yeah, and so it's know that the pushback or the
• 47:35
  Speaker 27: opposition is an indication of progress. And of course they're
• 47:40
  Speaker 27: the left can't sit still when we're stripping away millions
• 47:44
  Speaker 27: of children from their influence. Private Christian schools are growing
• 47:54
  Speaker 27: rapidly as well, and the Atholetic parochial school system, which
• 47:58
  Speaker 27: was in decline for years, is sort of turned around
• 48:01
  Speaker 27: and is starting back on the upswing.
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: So well.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: We've also.
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: We've also seen these go ahead. You know, we've seen
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: these micro schools starting. Virginia's got a huge micro school
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: program where it's almost like the one room schoolhouse of
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: the old days, where you know, a dozen or two
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: dozen families in a community say hey, we're going to
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: pitch in and you teach this, I chieve that, and
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: for the stuff we don't know, we can hire someone.
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: It's been a great boon for teachers because you know,
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: they actually have a free market now to work in
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: where they can say, hey, I'm a really good math teacher.
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: Why don't you hire me there? But talk about these bills,
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: because I think it's is it six or seven states
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: that have tried to pass legislation restricting the ability of parents,
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: all with that same demagoguey you know, images of you know,
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: Ruby Ridge and places like that say oh you want
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: these parents taking these kids, you know home and they're
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: teaching them crazy stuff like oh, I don't know independence,
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: Roy Ray, I'm sorry. So talk about these states where
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: they're trying to pass.
• 49:10
  Speaker 27: This name all of them, but some would be Hawaii
• 49:16
  Speaker 27: has tried to do this. It's mostly what we would
• 49:18
  Speaker 27: call the blue states. It's not happening in red states
• 49:23
  Speaker 27: as much, but Hawaii, Connecticut, New Jersey in particular. Let's see,
• 49:32
  Speaker 27: I'm trying to think maybe Illinois and Kansas, and also
• 49:38
  Speaker 27: West Virginia, which is really not.
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: A Yeah, that's surprising.
• 49:43
  Speaker 27: But in some of the more rural states of the
• 49:49
  Speaker 27: public school system is more embedded in the culture and
• 49:54
  Speaker 27: the egregious and really diabolical things that are happening in
• 49:59
  Speaker 27: some of the inner city public schools may not be,
• 50:03
  Speaker 27: you know, in the rural schools. So explain that.
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: Isn't that part of what's made them so existentially concerned
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: about passing laws that would restrict homeschooling, because the inner
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: city parents are the ones who are standing up saying
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: not just yes, but hell yes to the idea of
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: something other than the government mandated failing schools.
• 50:27
  Speaker 27: Right, And what's interesting about the whole phenomena, there's sort
• 50:31
  Speaker 27: of a belief that homeschooling is a white, conservative, Republican phenomena,
• 50:39
  Speaker 27: but that is totally false. Maybe up to forty percent
• 50:44
  Speaker 27: of homeschoolers now a minority groups Hispanic, African American and Asian.
• 50:49
  Speaker 27: So it's really growing everywhere. We work very closely with
• 50:54
  Speaker 27: a group in Baden Rouge, Louisiana called the National Black
• 50:59
  Speaker 27: Home Education Leaders, and I'd urge your listeners to look
• 51:03
  Speaker 27: that sit up. And they have ten thousands of Black
• 51:09
  Speaker 27: families that are paying views to join this homeschool group.
• 51:14
  Speaker 27: And some believe that maybe eighteen percent of African American
• 51:18
  Speaker 27: families are homeschooling. So we see this.
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: That is a heck of a thing.
• 51:23
  Speaker 27: It is.
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: Talk about Connecticut. We have a great affiliate Greenwich, Connecticut. WGH.
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: What about how spilled fifty four sixty eight in Connecticut?
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: That makes it particularly stint I know you said that
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: was one of the first ones you were called, you know,
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: talk about what they're trying to do in Connecticut.
• 51:41
  Speaker 27: This is a bill that's probably the most egregious and
• 51:47
  Speaker 27: it's making progress, is actually get working its way through
• 51:51
  Speaker 27: the legislature right now, and I believe it's passed out
• 51:54
  Speaker 27: a committee twenty six to twenty, but homeschool families showed
• 51:59
  Speaker 27: up in ass Hundreds of them, maybe more showed up
• 52:03
  Speaker 27: to protest the bill, and three thousand homeschool families submitted
• 52:08
  Speaker 27: written testimony against House Bill fifty four sixty eights. Basically,
• 52:16
  Speaker 27: it says that they have to register with the local
• 52:18
  Speaker 27: school district. Well, people are homeschooling because they want to
• 52:22
  Speaker 27: escape from the local school district. They don't want to
• 52:26
  Speaker 27: be come under the supervision of those that are harming
• 52:28
  Speaker 27: the children and come under the control. So that's one
• 52:33
  Speaker 27: of the harmful things of the bill. Provide instructional curriculum
• 52:38
  Speaker 27: information aligned with state standards. Well, homeschoolers are mostly Christians
• 52:43
  Speaker 27: and traditional value people. They want to get away from them.
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: Ray Moore is on with us.
• 52:51
  Speaker 16: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:55
  Speaker 16: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: It was Medicare that came through for us.
• 53:00
  Speaker 32: There was no hassles, there was no problem.
• 53:02
  Speaker 16: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:05
  Speaker 16: of such an incredible ministry.
• 53:07
  Speaker 15: Meta share is a biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
• 53:11
  Speaker 15: 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 15: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years
• 53:24
  Speaker 15: old and members have shared over eight billion dollars of
• 53:27
  Speaker 15: each other's medical bills.
• 53:28
  Speaker 18: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 53:31
  Speaker 18: You can focus on on supporting other people.
