• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Your emails come into jtinthemorningradio at gmail.com. And most importantly
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: and most popular is the text message. hotline that you
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: can use 434-882-4217 as well this text message i guess
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: if you live in california and you're an illegal alien
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: and run a business you get free health care free
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: housing avoid taxes and can open bank accounts and have
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: a driver's license and get welfare Well, you can. You're
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: breaking several laws. Now, whether anyone outside of Chad Bianco
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: in California has the intestinal fortitude to, I don't know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: enforce those laws, I don't know. But it is the issue.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: And the expenditure of money, this is a couple of
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: text messages about the taxed enough already bill. of 2009-2010.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: This one, I think, is indicative of where we are
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: historically off of that. Bruce, listening to us this morning
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: at Cayman out in the Inland Empire, said, Joe, everything
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I recall about the Tea Party movement is racist. You
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: are only doing it because Barack Obama was black and
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: You wanted to reenact the American Revolution, winning the country
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: back for white men. And that's why the Tea Party failed. Bruce,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: and again, I appreciate you listening. I'm going to clarify
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: a couple of things. That's what everyone said about the movement.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: It's not what the movement was about. Trust me, I
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: was one of the founders of of the Charlottesville, Virginia
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Tea Party. We had 1,500 people gathering in downtown Charlottesville
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: on that first April 15th of 2009, gathering to hear
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: a message of, you've got so much money already in
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: your hands, why do you need more? I mean, we're
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: talking about billions of dollars that go to the federal
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: government every month, trillions every quarter, and yet they can't
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: live within it. And that was the whole point when
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Barack Obama suggested Obamacare and that it was going to
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: be a tax and we were going to all pay
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: the extra tax so that, pardon me, there would be
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: health care.
• 3:40
  Speaker 10: Hang on a second.
• 3:42
  Speaker 11: Hmm.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I tried to keep silent for you there, Tom and Celie,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: but all of a sudden I've got this dry spot
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: right there in the back where I need moisturizing. It's
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: like the hangy thing is dry, the umlaut or whatever
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: it's called there. But we had simply said that why
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: do you need more money if we've paid all this
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: into the federal government coffers already? Thus, the taxed enough already.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: You know, Bruce, I will bet you cash money that
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: you don't remember the fact that it was even called that,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: if it was ever even reported that. We were just
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: trying to reenact the Boston Tea Party or some such. So,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm glad to give you a history lesson
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: on what it really was. It's like, you know, the
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: very good people on both sides of the street. Scott
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Besant hit the TV talkers on Sunday saying that Iran
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: is less than two weeks away.
• 4:52
  Speaker 10: From bankruptcy.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: They have within the next two weeks, that's their final
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: deliveries of oil to China, and then they will have nothing,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: he said. Meanwhile, stories circulating that the Iranians have offered
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: a deal that would have hostilities between the nations ended.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: before the midterms. President Trump justified the pending U.S. arms
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: sale to Taiwan in a conversation with Chinese President Xi
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Jinping last week by saying, you can buy it from
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: us too if you want. This reported to the press
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: by Chinese Ambassador David Perdue. Russia and Ukraine exchanged strikes
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Sunday Eight people dead in Ukraine, one in Russia. Meanwhile,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: NATO nations are getting prickly after a CIA report saying
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: that Russia had developed plans to strike the NATO countries
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: for their support, tacit or not, over Ukraine. Germany asked
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Moscow to cool it, and the Russians said, you cool it.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Washington state voters are going to vote on a repeal
• 6:12

• 6:37
  Speaker 10: Dear friend had had.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Some real serious health issues and was trying to get
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: back into the swing of things on the golf course
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: and whatnot. And I said, you really have to try
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: this stuff. I gave him a free bottle out of

• 7:03
  Speaker 12: between something high quality or something that saves you money.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: But what if you could get both?
• 7:08
  Speaker 10: Why not?
• 7:09
  Speaker 12: Especially when it comes to health care, and that is MediShare.
• 7:12
  Speaker 10: You get both.
• 7:13
  Speaker 12: Many families save $ 500 a month with MediShare, and that's huge,
• 7:18
  Speaker 12: but it's also true that people wind up way more satisfied, too.

  Speaker 12: We know this from research of members. There's a lot
• 7:24
  Speaker 12: they like about MediShare, but especially they love being part

  Speaker 9: You were strolling along in goodwill. When just past that

• 9:08
  Speaker 9: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.

  Speaker 18: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 18: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 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 2
• 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 checkupamerica.org or call 1-800-DIABETES, a

• 11:55
  Speaker 20: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 9: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 17: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 10: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 21: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 10: I can probably swim.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 10: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 21: Cannonball!
• 12:11

  Speaker 22: I have a cramp.

• 12:23

  Speaker 2: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 14: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 12:32
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 21: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 21: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 21: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
• 12:45
  Speaker 21: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.

  Speaker 4: We've cut the cost of radio listening by, hell, it
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: didn't cost anything in the first place. So let's say
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: $ 1 million.
• 13:20
  Speaker 23: And call it even.

  Speaker 4: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: If you drive a car, I'll tax the street.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: If you drive two seats, I'll tax your seat.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: If you get too cold, I'll tax the heat.
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: If you take a warm bath.
• 13:42
  Speaker 10: I'll tax your feet. Yeah, remember when that was fictional?
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Remember when that was considered, you know, crazy, hippie, rock
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: and roll radio? Well, it's generally, I mean, some of
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: it actually feels like There was some guy at the
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Infernal Revenue Service saying, remember that song? Remember that song
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: by the guys from Liverpool? Wouldn't it be cool if.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: What's the matter with taxing your feet? Got to pay
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: for that sidewalk. You didn't build that sidewalk, right? Oh,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: there I am being racist again. For statistical accuracy... $ 438.
• 14:30
  Speaker 10: Billion.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: That is, on average, what you and I generate for
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: the federal government of the United States by way of taxes.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: So they have tons of money. Where has it gone?
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: That was the simple question, Bruce, as you ask about
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: the Tea Party and what you had been told about
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: it through history. That if you have taken in $ 438
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: billion and tell us that that isn't enough, why? And
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: all we asked was give us an accounting as to
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: where all that went to. And we were called racist.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: We were called nut cases. Nobody ever answered the question.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: That was the joy. And it really taught them that
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: all you had to do was make it seem like
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: any congressperson that took the Tea Party movement seriously would
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: be immediately branded nutty. You would have a primary opponent
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: from the level-headed side of your own party, too. We
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: had Democrats at my first Tea Party meeting, libertarians. So,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: and the Democrats, I mean, the Democrat that I recall
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: most vehemently was the mayor of Charlottesville, Virginia, saying, you
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: know what? we keep giving more people more assistance, we've
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: reached the point where, wait for it, we can't collect
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: enough tax revenue to pay for the aid that we're
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: needing to give out. Each time an employer closes under
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: the yoke of taxation, it adds more people to the
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: roster of need and And the thing, again, more gaslighting
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: about the Taxed Enough Already campaign was that the idea
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: was that we didn't want to pay any taxes. Now,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: there may have been people here, and this was the
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: other thing they learned. If they could find some activist
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: that is on his Rumble account, well, it wasn't Rumble
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: at the time, you know, pick one. saying we shouldn't
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: have to pay any taxes. Yeah, no, I mean, we've
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: agreed that there are things like paying for law enforcement,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: and there are, whether or not it's immediately debatable or not,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: if you want a free society, you're going to have
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: to have law enforcement officers.
• 17:40
  Speaker 24: Why?
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Because at some point, somebody is going to violate someone
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: else's rights. So you want a legal system ready to
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: come in, collect the evidence, and then from that evidence collections,
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: then go off and find the SOB that did it,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: punish them publicly so that the rest of the community
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: at large says, oh, wow, I better not do that.
• 18:14
  Speaker 10: That's it. That's how a free society is supposed to work.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: So you already are guaranteed that you're going to have
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: to pay some taxes to pay these people. It doesn't
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: have to be huge. I mean, most counties in the
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: United States get by on a sheriff with a couple
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: of deputies and some volunteers. They're not an enormous law
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: enforcement division. They're generally elected, which makes them more responsive
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: to the voters. So the Tea Party was never about, no,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: we don't want to pay any taxes, not to the
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: black president, which was the gaslighting. I appreciate your email, Bruce,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: and I'm not picking on you. You just happen to
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: be the one that I saw first about the Tea
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Party movement. This goes back to this idea of we'll
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: vote for extra taxes. Washington State going to and amazingly
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: has put a referendum on the ballot driven, I can
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: only imagine, by the locals who realize that they work
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: for people who, quote, make, unquote, a million dollars a year.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Because individuals that appear to make a million dollars a
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: year are what we call small business owners. This is
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: the same campaign with a few more hinks and jinks.
• 19:49
  Speaker 10: Then Crystal. was.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Let's go after the small business owner. Big businesses, you know,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: the really wealthy, they were protected by the Marxists. It
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: was the little guys that we needed to vilify because
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: we wanted the public to to believe we were on
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: their side. And it's the same thing with wages. We
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: talk about mandated minimum wage, right?
• 20:18
  Speaker 22: Clark.
• 20:19
  Speaker 25: So 1977 summer construction job. I was making three 65
• 20:27
  Speaker 25: an hour.
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 20:32
  Speaker 25: Go to Burger King to have lunch. Reckon what my
• 20:38
  Speaker 25: meal cost with two whoppers, a fry, and a shake.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: I can tell you it was about $ 2. 85, maybe $ 2.
• 20:45
  Speaker 26: 90.
• 20:46
  Speaker 25: $ 2. 85, $ 2. 90. So about 80% of what I was getting
• 20:52
  Speaker 25: paid per hour as a minimum wage construction worker. Now,
• 21:00
  Speaker 25: I promise you, Joe, you increase the cost of labor
• 21:04
  Speaker 25: by you're going to get the cost of the meal
• 21:08
  Speaker 25: up to about 80%.
• 21:11
  Speaker 24: Oh, sure.
• 21:11
  Speaker 25: And it's just going to be across the board.
• 21:15
  Speaker 27: Right.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: And that's what I mean is it winds up being
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: self-consuming because then people get laid off from the restaurant
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: job because the businesses can't afford to keep up with
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: the cost. And then the construction costs, you know, then
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: fewer people are doing construction, which means there are fewer
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: construction jobs. And it's the point I made that Republicans
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: have done such a bad job messaging on this that
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: this Rasmussen poll that said the majority of Americans favor
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: socialism over capitalism now shouldn't surprise us considering the media
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: narrative over Wall Street and the CEOs that make all
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: this money.

• 24:08
  Speaker 28: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 24:13
  Speaker 28: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 28: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 28: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 24:28
  Speaker 28: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 24:33
  Speaker 28: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:36
  Speaker 28: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 24:39
  Speaker 28: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in

  Speaker 4: Talk Media Network.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: It is time on this Monday morning as we try
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: to figure out what went on over the weekend. The
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: great one himself, Mac McDonald, you know, in the same
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: state as me.
• 28:33
  Speaker 10: Again, this morning. That is good.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: And the folks at RETS survived a conflagration of Mac
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: and me and Vinny.
• 28:42
  Speaker 10: All at the same time. What a place. What a place.
• 28:45
  Speaker 10: It was a lot of fun. And a lot of fun.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: And no charges have been filed. So that's always a
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: good sign.
• 28:52
  Speaker 10: No, that's true.
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't get stopped. I didn't get stopped on
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: I-64 yesterday. That's a good thing. We're in Richmond today.
• 28:59
  Speaker 26: Bud Foster's for his foundation, his Lunch Pail Foundation Foundation.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Which just– it was an amazing night last night. We
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: had the dinner.
• 29:07
  Speaker 26: It was kind of just a makeshift dinner at a
• 29:09
  Speaker 26: sports bar with just a lot of the Virginia Tech
• 29:13
  Speaker 26: people and former players and people that have known Bud
• 29:17
  Speaker 26: for years and years. It's just a collection of people.
• 29:21
  Speaker 26: Coming up in a week or so, I'll have a story.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: I met a.
• 29:24
  Speaker 26: Guy last night who actually– was part of the Herman
• 29:30
  Speaker 26: Boone era and told me that the Remember the Titans
• 29:33
  Speaker 26: movie is 95% correct.
• 29:36
  Speaker 15: Wow.
• 29:38
  Speaker 26: The names were correct. On top of that, he went
• 29:40
  Speaker 26: to T.C. Williams and He played for Herman Boone. He
• 29:44
  Speaker 26: was part of the camps. He talked about the racial
• 29:47
  Speaker 26: situation and the tension that's in that movie.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: And if you haven't seen it, you need to see
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: it and sit down with your kids or whatever.
• 29:53
  Speaker 26: Not only that, if you remember in the movie, the
• 29:56
  Speaker 26: daughter that was the assistant coach, Yost, and so there
• 30:01
  Speaker 26: was a daughter there named Cheryl who was the real
• 30:03
  Speaker 26: big football fan or whatever.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: He dated her.
• 30:07
  Speaker 26: And then she had, then I found out that just
• 30:12
  Speaker 26: not too long ago, well, it had to be, if
• 30:15
  Speaker 26: you do the math, but anyway, she died in her
• 30:18
  Speaker 26: twenties while feeding her baby, believe it or not, had
• 30:22
  Speaker 26: an infection.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: And so crazy stuff. But anyway, we'll have that story
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: in a, in a couple of weeks.
• 30:27
  Speaker 26: Cause I met him last night and, He listens to
• 30:30
  Speaker 26: the show all the time and listens to your show.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he can't get enough of Bud and us. And
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: he just was a terrific guy. So it was a
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: lot of fun.
• 30:38
  Speaker 26: So, all right, with everything that went on, of course,
• 30:42
  Speaker 26: college will, when I get back and get my feet
• 30:46
  Speaker 26: out of the golf.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Course sand, I'm not playing.
• 30:49
  Speaker 26: I'm just, I'm emceeing and doing an auction and doing
• 30:52
  Speaker 26: some stuff. I will get into the college weekend and
• 30:57
  Speaker 26: what really happened with the Texas thing and the Steve
• 31:00
  Speaker 26: Sarkeesian thing, talking about the display by the player who
• 31:06
  Speaker 26: was faking like he was going to the bathroom.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: There's a lot to cover from what happened.
• 31:12
  Speaker 10: Over the weekend.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: There was on the pros, too.
• 31:15
  Speaker 10: Sunday was full of that. I mean, the referees.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: It's not.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Supposed to happen in college.
• 31:21
  Speaker 10: You're right, Joe.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: And it's not supposed to happen in college. Right.
• 31:26
  Speaker 26: But, yeah, it's just totally getting out of hand. Well,
• 31:30
  Speaker 26: so now the baseball situation is set. The Houston Astros
• 31:34
  Speaker 26: won their fifth West title in six years, despite finishing
• 31:37
  Speaker 26: with the worst record for a first-place team. They beat
• 31:40
  Speaker 26: the A's 9-0, and so they finished at 81-81. So
• 31:44
  Speaker 26: now it is set wild card Tuesday. Tomorrow we'll start
• 31:47
  Speaker 26: at 2 o'clock. So you're going to have, let's see, 2,
• 31:50
  Speaker 26: do the math, 10, carry the weight. You're going to
• 31:52
  Speaker 26: have about– That's 12. Almost 11 hours of baseball tomorrow.
• 31:57
  Speaker 26: Maybe even a little more. But Philly and Atlanta, 2
• 32:00
  Speaker 26: o'clock tomorrow. Chicago and Houston will be at 5. Boston
• 32:04
  Speaker 26: and New York at 8 tomorrow night. And then Chicago
• 32:07
  Speaker 26: and San Diego. will be at 10 o'clock and ends
• 32:10
  Speaker 26: the same schedule on Wednesday for the first two games.
• 32:13
  Speaker 26: Cause the, it's a best of three and the first
• 32:16
  Speaker 26: two games are at the, the higher seed. So anyway,
• 32:19
  Speaker 26: that'll be, you know, and then we get into a
• 32:22
  Speaker 26: Thursday when Philly, you know, if needed and so on
• 32:24
  Speaker 26: and so forth. So Philly is supposed to be in Atlanta,
• 32:26
  Speaker 26: if necessary, Chicago and Houston, Boston, you.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Know, there's a, there's a city that, you know, if
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: they had not made the playoffs and, This year, I
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: think I think there would have been some serious problems
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: in the city of brotherly love because they've lost patience
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: and they lose patience in a hurry. And Bryce Harper
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: will tell you how how many he he thought he
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: got a lot of batteries thrown at him in Philadelphia
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: when he played for the Nationals.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, so good. Well, I had– and so
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: yesterday while doing some work and trying to get.
• 33:04
  Speaker 26: Caught up with school and all kinds of stuff because
• 33:06
  Speaker 26: I had plenty of time, and it took almost all day,
• 33:09
  Speaker 26: but the President's Cup turned out to be really great
• 33:12
  Speaker 26: theater for a lot of reasons. If you go inside
• 33:14
  Speaker 26: the story, and I'll have more tomorrow on the Auburn 21-year-old,
• 33:18
  Speaker 26: former Auburn player Jackson Coivin, who.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Was the mentor, and I'll get to that in a second.
• 33:23
  Speaker 26: But Xander Schauffele was right in the mix too, but
• 33:27
  Speaker 26: the Americans won 8 of 10 games. eight of the
• 33:30
  Speaker 26: first 10 matches to make the comeback. They were three
• 33:33
  Speaker 26: points down. It's a record-setting comeback with how they performed,
• 33:38
  Speaker 26: and they end up winning the President's Cup for the
• 33:40
  Speaker 26: 11th straight time.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: And Xander Schauffele said.
• 33:44
  Speaker 26: A lot of it was because the team just loves
• 33:46
  Speaker 26: the coach, Brant Snedeker.
• 33:48
  Speaker 30: We love Snedes. He wears his heart on his sleeve.
• 33:51
  Speaker 30: We knew where he was mentally all week. We played
• 33:54
  Speaker 30: hard for him today, and that's all we could do,
• 33:57
  Speaker 30: regardless of the outcome. I think every one of us
• 34:00
  Speaker 30: took it personally, and we played our asses off.
• 34:02
  Speaker 26: Yeah, and then if that wasn't enough with everything that
• 34:07
  Speaker 26: went on, the Justin Thomas-Jackson Coivin mentorship, which happened on Thursday,
• 34:12
  Speaker 26: and Justin tells a great story because Jackson, this 21-year-old
• 34:17
  Speaker 26: in the President's Cup, he's already had a win.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: He's already beat Scotty Scheffler.
• 34:21
  Speaker 26: Uh, you know, everything there is to win in college,
• 34:24
  Speaker 26: this kid was so, and so he had a shot
• 34:27
  Speaker 26: on 18 yesterday. to try to close it against Siwoo Kim,
• 34:31
  Speaker 26: which at the time it gave the American team at
• 34:35
  Speaker 26: least a tie when he wins on 18. Bridgman actually
• 34:40
  Speaker 26: made the putt for the Cubs. Xander Schauffele was going
• 34:42
  Speaker 26: to probably wrap it up. He was three up and
• 34:45
  Speaker 26: going to 17, you know, after losing on 16. But anyway,
• 34:49
  Speaker 26: the mentorship of Justin Thomas and Jackson Koivin and how
• 34:54
  Speaker 26: much Koivin depended on Justin told this story.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: It's a great story.
• 34:58
  Speaker 16: He's really just he gets it he's very mature but
• 35:02
  Speaker 16: it just was really cool to to kind of just
• 35:04
  Speaker 16: watch him do his thing I mean I'll never in
• 35:06
  Speaker 16: my life forget like the smile he had on his
• 35:08
  Speaker 16: face when he put the tea in the ground on
• 35:10
  Speaker 16: Thursday morning and he was about to hit and I
• 35:13
  Speaker 16: think he kind of blacked out and like went to
• 35:14
  Speaker 16: pick up the tea didn't pick up the tea it
• 35:16
  Speaker 16: was just laying right there when I went to go
• 35:18
  Speaker 16: put my tea in the ground so it was it's
• 35:20
  Speaker 16: kind of cool to get to experience those moments with
• 35:22
  Speaker 16: someone so But, yeah, it was cool to watch.
• 35:24
  Speaker 26: Yeah, so he's being called now the future of golf
• 35:29
  Speaker 26: at 21 years old.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Isn't golf always better when you've got crazy guys from
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Alabama and Mississippi and such?
• 35:39
  Speaker 10: Absolutely.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: You know, these buttoned up guys from Pennsylvania, like Palmer
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: and stuff. I mean, you know, and Ohio and Nicholas,
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: you know, ho-hum.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you want the Godderups. See, that's what the future goes.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: You want the Chris Godderups.
• 35:53
  Speaker 26: And, you know, Justin Thomas has been, you know, really,
• 35:55
  Speaker 26: really good and so great for the tour. But now
• 35:58
  Speaker 26: this Coivin kid, just to watch him. So he hits
• 36:02
  Speaker 26: this fabulous shot. On 18, he's going to sew up the,
• 36:06
  Speaker 26: you know, the, the win. He went to Owen one
• 36:09
  Speaker 26: in his first president's cup.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 36:11
  Speaker 26: So he had a win and a tie with Justin
• 36:13
  Speaker 26: in the four ball sessions and then ended up winning
• 36:16
  Speaker 26: his singles match, but he twirled when he hits Tiger
• 36:21
  Speaker 26: had a tour when Tiger knew he flushed an iron.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: He used to twirl it, just had this, you know,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: just special twirl of the club. And he did the
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: same thing yesterday.
• 36:30
  Speaker 26: He flushes an iron and twirls a club with his
• 36:34
  Speaker 26: arms extended, just like Tiger.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: And I went, oh, that's so cool. I mean, just
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: because the kid.
• 36:40
  Speaker 26: Is, he's very, very humble, very down to earth. And,
• 36:45
  Speaker 26: you know, his parents raised him right. And now he's
• 36:47
  Speaker 26: so mature. And in all that pressure and the heat,
• 36:50
  Speaker 26: you know, I know the President's Cup is not the
• 36:51
  Speaker 26: Ryder Cup. But it was just great to see him
• 36:54
  Speaker 26: perform and to do that.
• 36:56
  Speaker 10: God, it was amazing.
• 36:57
  Speaker 26: Okay, the Commanders, what a win yesterday for them with
• 37:02
  Speaker 26: Marcus Mariota. And they're back up three touchdown passes. We'll
• 37:06
  Speaker 26: have more on him this week. And also, I would
• 37:09
  Speaker 26: be remiss. If I didn't watch the Raiders come back
• 37:13
  Speaker 26: down 11 in the second half, of course, Denver had
• 37:16
  Speaker 26: a 16 point comeback too. They were getting smoked last night,
• 37:19
  Speaker 26: but ended up coming back to win.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: But the Raiders, a.
• 37:23
  Speaker 26: Couple of turnovers late and you know, So they're three
• 37:27
  Speaker 26: and oh, and the best start in five years for
• 37:30
  Speaker 26: the silver and black.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: So Kirk Cousins, at least right now, Kirk Cousins is
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: found out.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: They're doing it. They're doing it just to promote the movie.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: You understand this. This whole thing is Bill Graham.
• 37:45
  Speaker 10: Who is it?
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Christian Bale is playing Al Davis and, you know. Talk
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: about the dark night rises.
• 37:51
  Speaker 10: It's not going to be good.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: Come on, it's a big name cast.
• 38:01
  Speaker 31: According to a new report from Discovery Education, 92% of
• 38:05
  Speaker 31: students say that engaging lessons make school more fun. And
• 38:08
  Speaker 31: more than 90% of educators said engagement is critical for
• 38:11
  Speaker 31: student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning, but gaps
• 38:16
  Speaker 31: remain about how to achieve, measure, and sustain students' interest
• 38:19
  Speaker 31: in the classroom. Although 63% of students agreed that students
• 38:24
  Speaker 31: are highly engaged in school, only 45% of teachers and
• 38:27
  Speaker 31: 51% of principals surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators
• 38:32
  Speaker 31: disagreed on the top indicators of engagement. 72% of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 31: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement.
• 38:41
  Speaker 31: while 54% of superintendents rate performing well on assessments as
• 38:45
  Speaker 31: a top engagement indicator. Also, two-thirds of students said they
• 38:49
  Speaker 31: believed that AI could help them learn faster, yet fewer
• 38:52
  Speaker 31: than half of teachers report using AI themselves to complete tasks.

  Speaker 28: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 39:09
  Speaker 28: actually three known gases.
• 39:11
  Speaker 23: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 39:12
  Speaker 28: Mitch and nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made
• 39:17
  Speaker 28: all day long to keep our arteries open by relaxing
• 39:21
  Speaker 28: the blood vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased,
• 39:26

  Speaker 32: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:37
  Speaker 32: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 32: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 32: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 32: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 32: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 32: of an infection that can spread from person to person.

  Speaker 4: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: He is the host of the Good for America podcast.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: And I was a friend of mine said, what a
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: great name. And I don't know if you realize that
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: as you were growing up, that a name like Bob
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: Good would turn into a good podcast name. but find
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: it on all the usual distributors and subscribe, get it
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: downloaded to you every week. Bob Good, former chair of
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: the House Freedom Caucus.
• 44:47
  Speaker 10: Good morning, sir. How are you doing this Monday?
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Joe. Great to be with you on Monday
• 44:51
  Speaker 6: for a change.
• 44:52
  Speaker 10: Yeah, well, you were busy.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: You're touring, you're barnstorming, you're around trying to make the
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: case against some ugly precedent-setting constitutional amendments. And I was
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: at an event, pro-life event on Sunday, LifeWalk, huge turnout
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: of folks. And I think to a man, woman, and child,
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: I think the thing that they find most troubling is
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: this bait and switch kind of language that's going on
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: on these. I don't want to overstate it, but I
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: feel like this needs to be a stand made against
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: these kind of ballot referendums.
• 45:36
  Speaker 10: It's one thing to.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: Say, well, Bob Good is this guy and so-and-so is
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: that guy, and you can vote against them. But when
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: you've got these referendums, you really need to make sure
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: that the referendum is clearly displayed to the voters and Bob,
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: because this con game they're playing is dangerous on multiple levels.
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: Indeed it is.
• 46:03
  Speaker 22: At a bare minimum, obviously, the referendum, the language that's
• 46:06
  Speaker 22: on the ballot, the questions on the ballot ought to
• 46:08
  Speaker 22: accurately convey what the voters are voting on, what they're
• 46:13
  Speaker 22: saying yes or no to. But it's typical of the
• 46:15
  Speaker 22: Democrat Party of the left. They recognize and know that
• 46:18
  Speaker 22: if they are honest or truthful or open with the
• 46:22
  Speaker 22: American people or the people of Virginia in this case,
• 46:24
  Speaker 22: on what they believe and what they want to do,
• 46:26
  Speaker 22: they could never win another election.
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: And so they have to use deceit. They have to
• 46:30
  Speaker 6: use deception.
• 46:32
  Speaker 22: They have to try to fool people into what they're
• 46:35
  Speaker 22: actually trying to do, what their agenda is. Incidentally, by
• 46:37
  Speaker 22: the way, I'm going to be in your neck of
• 46:39
  Speaker 22: the woods this evening at Cross Life Community Church at
• 46:42
  Speaker 22: a homeschooled Turning Point USA event at five o'clock this evening,
• 46:46
  Speaker 22: speaking about the constitutional amendments that are on the ballot.
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: But you're exactly right.
• 46:50
  Speaker 22: How they're worded in the question on the ballot do
• 46:52
  Speaker 22: not convey the harm that they would do and the
• 46:55
  Speaker 22: change that they would make here in the Commonwealth.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Listen, if there's a fair vote, and it's above board,
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: and everyone gets to know, and only citizens of the
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: community get to vote, I will accept whatever outcomings there are.
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: But when you play these kind of games, I think
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: there's an intent to the gamesmanship on a subtext to
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: spread this message dissatisfaction with the American process so that,
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: you know, maybe we would go along with scrapping it and,
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: you know, pretending like what was done in Virginia is
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: indicative of just, you know, the failures of the American system.
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: Is there a danger of.
• 47:39
  Speaker 10: That too, Bob?
• 47:41
  Speaker 22: Well, there certainly is a threat, as stated by many
• 47:44
  Speaker 22: Democrats today. where they want to assault the Constitutional Republic
• 47:48
  Speaker 22: that we have. As you know, they don't believe in
• 47:50
  Speaker 22: the Constitution in terms of its original intent or its
• 47:54
  Speaker 22: original purpose, number one. Number two, they've said openly that
• 47:57
  Speaker 22: they want to eliminate the Electoral College, the process for
• 48:00
  Speaker 22: which we have to elect.
• 48:04
  Speaker 6: Our presidents, rather. They want to eliminate the U.S. Senate.
• 48:07
  Speaker 6: They've talked about that, which is obviously outlined in the Constitution.
• 48:11
  Speaker 22: And they want to obviously pack the Supreme Court so
• 48:14
  Speaker 22: that they make the Supreme Court an extension of the
• 48:16
  Speaker 22: legislative body, if you will, instead of a separate and.
• 48:22
  Speaker 6: Equal. It's not really supposed to be co-equal.
• 48:24
  Speaker 22: The legislative body was supposed to be the most dominoes,
• 48:26
  Speaker 22: powerful branch, but an independent branch.
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: Let's say it that way.
• 48:29
  Speaker 22: They don't want the Supreme Court to be an independent
• 48:30
  Speaker 22: branch of the legislative body anymore.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: I was looking and this came up in conversation earlier
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: in the show. And I know that with your financial background,
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: you have been a hawk on spending value of the dollar.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: You name it, Bob Good's been trying to square it
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: up with folks. And a lot of your tenure at
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: the Freedom Caucus in Congress was based on spending and
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: trying to fix that issue. Rasmussen reports 53% likely U.S.
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: voters aged 18 to 39 would like to see a
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: Democratic socialist candidate win the 2028 presidential election. And I
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: blame Republicans' inability or disinterest in talking about the economy
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: outside of the pandering populism of, we'll make it easier
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: for you, we'll find a way to make it easier,
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: and just coming up with conservative types of government funding
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: rather than saying a free market is going to create
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: more jobs, create more prosperity, and lower the cost of
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: things for you. Why is it so hard for Republicans
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: to message on this, Bob?
• 49:47
  Speaker 22: Well, they don't really have a message based on their
• 49:49
  Speaker 22: first two years with full control of government. The Republicans
• 49:52
  Speaker 22: have massively failed the American people as it pertains to
• 49:55
  Speaker 22: the number one threat to the country, the fiscal threat,
• 49:58
  Speaker 22: the debt, the spending, the deficit, and so forth. So
• 50:00
  Speaker 22: they've maintained Biden's COVID-level spending. They've maintained $ 2 trillion deficits.
• 50:05
  Speaker 22: They've taken the debt to a record $ 40 trillion. They
• 50:08
  Speaker 22: increased the debt limit by a record $ 5 trillion. They
• 50:10
  Speaker 22: failed to meaningfully cut spending. So they failed to address
• 50:14
  Speaker 22: the number one cause of the affordability crisis. They can't
• 50:17
  Speaker 22: run on addressing the affordability crisis and addressing the persistent inflation,
• 50:21
  Speaker 22: addressing the persistently high interest rates because they haven't cut spending.
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: Number two, they've made it even worse. You had J.D.
• 50:27
  Speaker 22: Vance just a couple of weeks ago propose to pay
• 50:31
  Speaker 22: mothers to stay home to take care of their children.
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: You've got Trump proposing more recently he's.
• 50:35
  Speaker 22: Going to give $ 5, 000 away to every American adult, every
• 50:39
  Speaker 22: citizen adult, if Republicans win the election, which there's got
• 50:42
  Speaker 22: all kinds of problems with that beyond the spending piece
• 50:45
  Speaker 22: of it. And so they're making it worse rather than
• 50:47
  Speaker 22: making it better. And it seems to me they're trying
• 50:50
  Speaker 22: to carve out this Republicans, this moderate, populist, you might
• 50:55
  Speaker 22: say socialist middle. So they're depressing turnout on the conservative
• 50:58
  Speaker 22: side because of their lack of action or addressing the issue.
• 51:01
  Speaker 6: And then the center swing voter.
• 51:04
  Speaker 22: The independent, the moderate, so forth, they're not speaking to
• 51:07
  Speaker 22: the issues that matter to them because they haven't addressed
• 51:09
  Speaker 22: the causes of the affordability crisis.
• 51:11
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: The affordability crisis is tangible. I mean, nobody is denying that.
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: It's just show me the answer. I mean, show me
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: lifting the regulations. Show me the taxes on a gallon
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: of gasoline and how much the state is taking and
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: the federal government is taking in gas taxes. We're here
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: in Virginia. Not only do we have a referendum on
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: a lot of cities to raise extra taxes for schools,
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: which I thought we were already paying, but just last week,
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: the Department of Transportation said yeah, we're going to have
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: to cancel all of our projects because we're $ 1. 7 billion
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: behind on our gas tax collections. And I'm sitting here thinking, well,
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: where the heck? And we've spent a bit of time
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: talking about the Tea Party, the history of the taxed
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: enough already campaign. And Bob and you and I didn't
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: know each other in 2009, 2010, but I was there.
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: I was one of the founders of a Virginia based
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: taxed enough already movement. And the ability of the left
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: to blow that up.
• 52:23
  Speaker 10: Needs to come.
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: We need to bring that back because these government organizations,
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: whether it's the state, the federal, the local, are all
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: turning their pockets out after, I think we looked up
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: $ 470 billion goes into the federal government on a monthly basis,
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: something along that lines. I know you had those numbers
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: at the tip of your tongue when you're in Congress.
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: But I mean, at some point, you know, what are
• 52:49
