- 0:35Speaker 3: you four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
- 0:39Speaker 4: As you sit here basking in your amplitude or your
- 0:42Speaker 4: frequency modulation or whatever it is that modulates if you
- 0:46Speaker 4: listen to us online, Bless you for listening and being
- 0:50Speaker 4: part of it, allowing me to try to get your
- 0:53Speaker 4: day off to start. Some of the stuff you're going
- 0:55Speaker 4: to hear you're not going to hear anywhere else, because
- 0:58Speaker 4: I can only tell you the truth. It comes across
- 1:01Speaker 4: our desk if you have truth that you want to
- 1:03Speaker 4: share with us. Though we are not supporters of the
- 1:06Speaker 4: idea that your truth might be different than someone else's
- 1:09Speaker 4: truth on the same subject matter. But there might be
- 1:12Speaker 4: subject matter that you want to bring up that brings
- 1:15Speaker 4: the truth to the bear. That's well and good, because
- 1:18Speaker 4: how the news of the day is impacting you is
- 1:21Speaker 4: the cornerstone of what we do here. I'll tell you
- 1:24Speaker 4: what went on, I'll give you our analysis of it,
- 1:27Speaker 4: but I want to hear from you at four three.
- 1:29Speaker 5: Four eight eight to two four to two one seven.
- 1:33Speaker 4: It's a text message hotline as well as a phone call.
- 1:36Speaker 4: You choose whichever is easier for you. In the cacophony
- 1:41Speaker 4: that is this morning, as the Obamacare story, doctor Oz
- 1:47Speaker 4: dropping the bombs on Obamacare yesterday and how Star's Cove
- 1:52Speaker 4: two exposed it one of the things that drove and
- 1:56Speaker 4: this text message from Barry who said, what do you
- 2:00Speaker 4: mean that Obamacare caused the shutdowns? It was the virus.
- 2:07Speaker 4: It was making sure that we didn't spread the virus. Well,
- 2:10Speaker 4: why does it. See here's the thing. See, we had
- 2:13Speaker 4: already become well versed in treating the virus. We all
- 2:18Speaker 4: had already had multiple treatments for the virus when the
- 2:23Speaker 4: lockdowns happened. We already had plenty of indications that if
- 2:28Speaker 4: you got it early enough, hydroxychloric wind worked, and for
- 2:32Speaker 4: more acute cases, an application of ivermectin worked. We already
- 2:39Speaker 4: had that. We had already started firing doctors over that.
- 2:45Speaker 4: It was when the insurance companies started balking at paying
- 2:48Speaker 4: all of the bills for all the people that the
- 2:52Speaker 4: Affordable Care Act had forced them to take on. That's
- 2:55Speaker 4: when the lockdowns happened. That's when the vaccine cards happened.
- 3:00Speaker 4: That's when the jab after jab after jab happened.
- 3:03Speaker 5: I can gameplay some.
- 3:04Speaker 4: More of that out for you, but I appreciate the
- 3:07Speaker 4: text message on that. Our first things the primaries. Everyone's

- 4:45Speaker 4: is not a run off.

- 9:57Speaker 11: Exercise is hard, so was maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 10:02Speaker 11: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two
- 10:07Speaker 11: diabetes heart disease and stroke kill nearly a million people
- 10:11Speaker 11: a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable
- 10:14Speaker 11: with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating,
- 10:19Speaker 11: and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about your risk
- 10:23Speaker 11: for type two diabetes and heart disease, and if your
- 10:26Speaker 11: doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The reason so
- 10:31Speaker 11: many die is because not enough are willing to change.
- 10:35Speaker 11: You can stop it, starting right now. It's your life.

- 13:12Speaker 2: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
- 13:15Speaker 2: Joe Thomas.
- 13:45Speaker 21: A couple of things, and you know, the.
- 13:49Speaker 4: Spencer Pratt stuff is just getting funny at this point.
- 13:53Speaker 4: Chuck Schumer dancing in ways that I don't think he
- 13:56Speaker 4: has since his own brists. There's just so much going
- 14:00Speaker 4: on in this and so many places. Russia in its
- 14:08Speaker 4: bombardment of Ukraine last night and at least twenty two
- 14:19Speaker 4: dead in Ukraine, the issues that are going on there.
- 14:31Speaker 4: Kremlin had warned intense attacks, bombardment of Kiev, the capital
- 14:39Speaker 4: city there, long range missile attacks as Russia tries to
- 14:44Speaker 4: break the will of Ukraine's government. Bring them to heal
- 14:50Speaker 4: if you will. Yeah, and here, and we're all worried
- 14:54Speaker 4: about who won the jungle primaries.
- 14:59Speaker 5: We had to Angelina.
- 15:02Speaker 4: Delphine, my co worker at the Daily Signal covers California
- 15:07Speaker 4: politics for it, and asked her specifically about the race
- 15:13Speaker 4: and if as we see, you know, of.
- 15:17Speaker 5: All things, Steve Hilton leading not.
- 15:21Speaker 4: Everyone was like, well, as long as we get you know,
- 15:24Speaker 4: get him into second place and get him into November
- 15:27Speaker 4: straight up leading. But still only it looks like forty
- 15:33Speaker 4: seven thirty eight percent of the votes went to a
- 15:38Speaker 4: Republican in this Does this translate into November?
- 15:42Speaker 5: I asked her It could be difficult.
- 15:45Speaker 4: What about disaffected? And you know, family is from California
- 15:50Speaker 4: and they talk about the business Democrat. Over the last
- 15:54Speaker 4: ten or twenty years, a lot of Republicans have become
- 15:57Speaker 4: Democrats just because they got tired of losing on a day.
- 16:01Speaker 4: So you have more conservative Democrats than a state like Virginia,
- 16:05Speaker 4: where it seems like every time we elect a new
- 16:08Speaker 4: Democrat they're closer to AOC than they are JFK. So
- 16:14Speaker 4: so are can can these voters in more red, more
- 16:20Speaker 4: agricultural parts of California, even if they're traditionally a Democrat voter,
- 16:25Speaker 4: vote for somebody like Steve Hilton and say we need change,
- 16:29Speaker 4: you know, And and if that happens, can he get
- 16:32Speaker 4: some help from business Democrats in the California General Assembly
- 16:37Speaker 4: to govern for four years?
- 16:41Speaker 25: That is the big question, you know, will Steve Hilton
- 16:44Speaker 25: be able to garner the intention of these of these Democrats?
- 16:47Speaker 25: And I don't think it's far fetched, but you know,
- 16:52Speaker 25: it's it's it's it's a hard call because when push
- 16:55Speaker 25: comes to shove, these Democrats are pressured like crazy to support,
- 16:59Speaker 25: you know, somebody like of a say, whichever Democrat candidate
- 17:02Speaker 25: makes it to the general election. So it's really difficult.
- 17:06Speaker 25: But rounding back to the LA mayoral race, I mean,
- 17:09Speaker 25: that's what we're seeing with Spencer Pratt is that he
- 17:11Speaker 25: is just getting an overwhelming amount of votes from Democrats
- 17:15Speaker 25: who say that they're fed up with the results. They're
- 17:18Speaker 25: fed up with what they've seen from Newsom, and they're
- 17:19Speaker 25: fed up with they've seen from the La mayor La
- 17:22Speaker 25: Mayor Karen Bass and so it's driven them the craziness,
- 17:26Speaker 25: the absolute absolute lunacy has driven them to vote for
- 17:29Speaker 25: somebody that they never would have before, a registered Republican,
- 17:33Speaker 25: you know, Spencer Pratt, even though it's a non partisan election.
- 17:38Speaker 25: So I think it's it's definitely possible. We've seen we
- 17:41Speaker 25: see that in the local election, and we could see
- 17:43Speaker 25: that on a statewide level.
- 17:45Speaker 4: Okay, sure, well that was our question yesterday. I grew
- 17:48Speaker 4: up in New York City and I lived through the
- 17:51Speaker 4: Rudolph Juliani election, and New York had to get really
- 17:55Speaker 4: really broken before they turned and said let's let's try
- 17:58Speaker 4: the Republican for a tue And it seems like La
- 18:02Speaker 4: is in that place, if not further down that we're broken.
- 18:05Speaker 4: Let's try something else. Paradigm. Angelina, last thoughts before we
- 18:13Speaker 4: let you go. I know it's been a long, long
- 18:15Speaker 4: day for you. You said something like it could be even
- 18:18Speaker 4: longer than today before we know the official results. Is
- 18:22Speaker 4: that what they're saying in Sacramento that you know, don't
- 18:25Speaker 4: don't count your chickens before they come home to roost.
- 18:30Speaker 25: Yeah, that's basically basically what everybody's saying. Of course, tomorrow
- 18:34Speaker 25: people will continue to follow it, and it might not
- 18:36Speaker 25: take a whole week for us to know how likely
- 18:39Speaker 25: it is.
- 18:41Speaker 5: Whole week Angelina, There, Angelina, these.
- 18:45Speaker 25: Three days plus, so we all have to hold on
- 18:49Speaker 25: tight and cross our fingers and see where this all goes.
- 18:53Speaker 4: Angelina Delphine one of my coworkers. She writes for the
- 18:57Speaker 4: California Page. If you go to Daile Signal dot com
- 19:02Speaker 4: and go to state news departments, I lead the Virginia co.
- 19:09Speaker 5: Team.
- 19:10Speaker 4: If you will, I'm the columnist there. Obviously you know,
- 19:13Speaker 4: guys like vd H Victor Davis Hansen, uh lead a
- 19:17Speaker 4: lot of the nationwide stuff, a lot of Span Burger
- 19:21Speaker 4: stuff coming out of my keyboard there. But also our
- 19:26Speaker 4: YouTube channel, you'll see Angelina doing a lot of man
- 19:29Speaker 4: on the street kind of stuff, getting some amazing reactions
- 19:32Speaker 4: out of people about you know, the stories of the day,
- 19:36Speaker 4: because you know, she like I.
- 19:38Speaker 5: You know, we look like leftists.
- 19:41Speaker 4: And I didn't grow my hair long because I wanted
- 19:44Speaker 4: to camouflage my intentions. I grew my hair long because
- 19:49Speaker 4: I was a rock and roll DJ. And you know,
- 19:53Speaker 4: rock and roll DJ just is just just a guy
- 19:55Speaker 4: who wants to be a rock and roll singer. Without
- 19:58Speaker 4: the talent, I couldn't carry it too if you showed
- 20:00Speaker 4: me where the handles were or gave me a handtruck.
- 20:04Speaker 4: But you know, you rock and roll adjunct, if you will,
- 20:09Speaker 4: rock and roll adjacent. So I have long hair, and
- 20:14Speaker 4: so if somebody sees me doing a man on the
- 20:16Speaker 4: street interview, they presume, oh, left wing blogger, left wing
- 20:21Speaker 4: video blogger of blogger and the Angelina the same thing.
- 20:27Speaker 4: They look at her and say, she must be you know,
- 20:29Speaker 4: left wing university type. You know she's got to be
- 20:32Speaker 4: doing one of these left wing blogs, so they'll be
- 20:37Speaker 4: honest with her.
- 20:38Speaker 5: They just cut loose.
- 20:39Speaker 4: So one video there's a woman just laid into how
- 20:44Speaker 4: Charlie Kirk deserved to have his head blown off and
- 20:46Speaker 4: all this. It's just shocking stuff that she gets out
- 20:50Speaker 4: of people Daily Signal dot Com for that. So it
- 20:58Speaker 4: all works out for you get all that coverage. Plus
- 21:01Speaker 4: we've got Rebecca in Ohio for our friends in Youngstown,
- 21:06Speaker 4: and so many other places that are going to get coverage.
- 21:08Speaker 5: Texas and Georgia. We're building teams there as well. Illinois.
- 21:15Speaker 4: I understand they're they're working on a team to cover
- 21:17Speaker 4: Illinois conservative Illinois conservatives. But at some point you become
- 21:22Speaker 4: so broke, so the the the obvious failures, and I
- 21:28Speaker 4: wish it didn't have to be that way. But because
- 21:31Speaker 4: we are busy, and because because we rely too heavily
- 21:35Speaker 4: on elections to decide who's getting into these positions. It
- 21:47Speaker 4: if you have dogs, you understand what the phrase rub
- 21:50Speaker 4: their nose in it means. You know, at some point
- 21:53Speaker 4: you have to realize that it's it's come back for you.
- 21:56Speaker 4: It's the Martin Nimoler paradigm. They've come for you now.

- 23:10Speaker 16: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
- 23:14Speaker 16: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
- 23:16Speaker 16: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for,
- 23:20Speaker 16: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
- 23:23Speaker 16: the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
- 23:26Speaker 16: premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
- 23:29Speaker 16: is not just due to the octane rating. There are
- 23:31Speaker 16: better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too,
- 23:35Speaker 16: the vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
- 23:38Speaker 16: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
- 23:41Speaker 16: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
- 23:44Speaker 16: your fuel choices around say every third tank full, you
- 23:47Speaker 16: may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
- 23:50Speaker 16: are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.
- 23:53Speaker 16: Just don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them

- 28:25Speaker 4: going on to ask. He says, whispers in my ear.
- 28:29Speaker 4: I'm interviewing you this morning. I am so what am
- 28:32Speaker 4: I I'm interviewing You're we're opening the John Thomas A.
- 28:36Speaker 5: Great, big, giant head is here. I thought of this
- 28:41Speaker 5: last night.
- 28:42Speaker 29: We'll get into some other things and in course with
- 28:44Speaker 29: the week because.
- 28:45Speaker 3: Of uh, you know the uh uh the n cua.
- 28:49Speaker 29: A Baseball super Regionals and you know teams like Troy
- 28:53Speaker 29: and Little Rock who have gotten it. I'm gonn I'm
- 28:54Speaker 29: gonna get into those.
- 28:55Speaker 5: Stories as well.
- 28:56Speaker 29: We've got a lot of time for the end of
- 28:58Speaker 29: the week.
- 28:58Speaker 5: But I got to talking about Foster uh.
- 29:01Speaker 29: And yesterday we got in a long conversation about everything
- 29:04Speaker 29: that's going on at Virginia Tech and the chase for
- 29:06Speaker 29: their new athletic director whatever. But then Buden mentions he
- 29:10Speaker 29: goes well with the issue with the rector, and I,
- 29:13Speaker 29: you know, I had seen the headline last week, but
- 29:16Speaker 29: I did you need to explain to me.
- 29:18Speaker 5: Here's why I'm interviewing you.
- 29:19Speaker 29: Can you explain to me how a governor can just
- 29:23Speaker 29: step in because it's a state university And I get that,
- 29:25Speaker 29: but there's just a lot of things that you know,
- 29:27Speaker 29: because first of all, my IQ is.
- 29:29Speaker 5: You know eighty something, So why why can't you?
- 29:32Speaker 29: I mean, how how can a governor control a university
- 29:37Speaker 29: and replace the rector.
- 29:39Speaker 4: So there's a great column at the website Daily Signal
- 29:43Speaker 4: dot com written by this guy named This guy named
- 29:46Speaker 4: Joe Thomas wrote this piece at Daily Signal dot com. Explain, okay,
- 29:51Speaker 4: Daily Record, no DA, Daily Signaled, Daily signal dot com.
- 29:56Speaker 4: But the hypocrisy is for for the latter part of
- 30:00Speaker 4: Governor Youngkins. Four years, every time an opening came up
- 30:03Speaker 4: on any of the governing boards of any of the
- 30:06Speaker 4: public universities in Virginia, he would appoint somebody to that board,
- 30:10Speaker 4: and the Senate wouldn't approve them, saying that he's going
- 30:15Speaker 4: to be out of office soon, so he shouldn't be
- 30:17Speaker 4: allowed to name someone. Which is funny because you know
- 30:21Speaker 4: Tim Kaine and Mark Warner and Ralph North, they were
- 30:23Speaker 4: always given a hall pass on that. But because they
- 30:27Speaker 4: didn't want these members of these boards running the universities
- 30:32Speaker 4: to extend their tenure past that of their horrible Republican governor,
- 30:39Speaker 4: they wanted to block all that. Now, Abigail Spanberger is
- 30:42Speaker 4: the governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and she wants
- 30:45Speaker 4: to fire all the holdover Republicans that Glenn Youngkin had appointed,
- 30:54Speaker 4: including the rector at the University of Virginia, John gen
- 31:00Speaker 4: John VI, who by the way, is the father in
- 31:02Speaker 4: law of Virginia sixth District Congressman Ben Klein. But I'm
- 31:06Speaker 4: sure that had no impact on Governor Spenberger's decision.
- 31:10Speaker 5: So it's a party. But it's not supposed to be. See,
- 31:15Speaker 5: it's not supposed to be. See, these appointments are supposed
- 31:18Speaker 5: to be like.
- 31:18Speaker 4: Six years long so or longer and and so you're
- 31:23Speaker 4: supposed to outlast the governor that appointed you. This is
- 31:26Speaker 4: supposedly so that there's some balance to it, so that
- 31:30Speaker 4: there's things. Now, she sent a letter to Rokovich and
- 31:34Speaker 4: telling him he needs to quit, to resign, resign. He refused,
- 31:39Speaker 4: so she fired him, claiming that he violated the code
- 31:43Speaker 4: of conduct.
- 31:44Speaker 29: Now, this batna was found to be in violation of
- 31:46Speaker 29: the state's code of conduct for state boards and commissions.
- 31:49Speaker 4: This opens her up for problems because this is a
- 31:52Speaker 4: public humiliation. This is alleged, without any evidence, without any statement,
- 31:56Speaker 4: that he's done something unethical. So she's open and herself
- 32:00Speaker 4: up to legal problems. He said, I'm not leaving, and
- 32:06Speaker 4: uh and come get me copper.
- 32:08Speaker 5: Basically is what he said.
- 32:09Speaker 29: Now you maybe, yeah, you may be wondering why. Sorry
- 32:12Speaker 29: to interrupt you, but you may be wondering why. Okay,
- 32:14Speaker 29: or it's our favorite athletic segment. Least it's mine athletics segment.
- 32:18Speaker 29: Every morning we get about eight minutes to you know,
- 32:20Speaker 29: cover a lot of sports stuff. But see Virginia Tech
- 32:23Speaker 29: with a rector like that that's running the board. They're
- 32:26Speaker 29: looking for athletic directors, right, and so this is why
- 32:30Speaker 29: I transition into guys like Matt Roan, who's a JAMU
- 32:36Speaker 29: Chance Miller at Coastal Carolina, Julie Cromer from l s U.
- 32:41Speaker 29: You know they're they're interested in the Hokies. However, yeah, why.
- 32:47Speaker 5: Would you go?
- 32:47Speaker 21: What Bud was That's right.
- 32:49Speaker 29: What Bud was telling me is, so is this a say,
- 32:52Speaker 29: is Blacksburg a safe haven for ads? Depending on because
- 32:58Speaker 29: rectors I guess they they will rule or pretty much
- 33:02Speaker 29: take care of athletic departments. And does that create a
- 33:05Speaker 29: problem then for Virginia Tech. I'm gonna find out more today.
- 33:08Speaker 4: But ny are I guarantee you just look at Luis
- 33:11Speaker 4: you mentioned LSU, look at all the problems that happened.
- 33:15Speaker 4: We'll take it and go the other side point, Greg Landry,
- 33:18Speaker 4: Republican governor, starts messing around in the operation of LSU.
- 33:23Speaker 4: For our friends listening at WGSO in New Orleans, you
- 33:27Speaker 4: know what I'm talking about.
- 33:28Speaker 29: Yeah, yeah, And coach Waite has gone, so coach Wade
- 33:31Speaker 29: gets hired. This is why this is a great coach
- 33:33Speaker 29: Wade has gotten hired. He is filling his run. He's
- 33:36Speaker 29: just he's running wild and everyone is ripping him because
- 33:40Speaker 29: he's now got G League players and twenty four year
- 33:43Speaker 29: old European players and just going crazy with nil and
- 33:47Speaker 29: spending money like crazy. And his starting lineup the average
- 33:50Speaker 29: age will be like twenty four years old.
- 33:52Speaker 21: No, yeah, so he.
- 33:55Speaker 29: He's gone, you know, totally over the top.
- 33:58Speaker 5: But that's why.
- 33:59Speaker 29: So yeah, yesterday when all this surfaced, I said, okay,
- 34:02Speaker 29: I'm asking Joe. You know, now I'm going to go
- 34:04Speaker 29: to the daily sting. I'm going to read because I
- 34:07Speaker 29: know that. You know, when when Rokovic got elected rector
- 34:12Speaker 29: and he's had service you know, from Virginia time for
- 34:14Speaker 29: sixteen years, no other nominees were available and he was
- 34:17Speaker 29: willing to serve. And then Sam's announcement the president that
- 34:21Speaker 29: he's stepping down and then when Babcock steps down and
- 34:26Speaker 29: resigns and now becomes an assistant to the president. I mean,
- 34:30Speaker 29: so to me, not knowing all the inner workings of
- 34:34Speaker 29: a colleague system as it spills into athletics and but
- 34:38Speaker 29: and presidents. That's why when when we yesterday with Buden,
- 34:42Speaker 29: I mentioned this and said I got to talk to Joe.
- 34:44Speaker 5: I said, I got to find.
- 34:45Speaker 29: Out where this is going, because Rokovich was also correct
- 34:50Speaker 29: me if I'm wrong. A donor to the Republican Party.
- 34:53Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, a big time you know. And like
- 34:57Speaker 4: I said, is his his daughter is married to Congress
- 35:00Speaker 4: Ben Klein, So I mean know he's in that family
- 35:04Speaker 4: of certainly. But sixteen years he's been on the board
- 35:07Speaker 4: of visitors at Virginia Tech. It's not like this guy
- 35:11Speaker 4: dropped in out of the sky because he gave a
- 35:13Speaker 4: lot of money to Glenn Youngkin or Donald Trump. He
- 35:16Speaker 4: proceeds both of them in this world. But here's the thing. See, now,
- 35:21Speaker 4: what does this do? Everyone's favorite story and if anyone
- 35:25Speaker 4: listening to us across the country knows of Virginia Tech,
- 35:28Speaker 4: it's because of Coach Franklin. It's exactly he gets hired
- 35:34Speaker 4: before all this starts, everyone's talking about top ten class,
- 35:39Speaker 4: could be a top you know, could be a playoff
- 35:41Speaker 4: team CFP, and all of this the quarterback drunk Meyer
- 35:45Speaker 4: or whatever his name is. Sorry that sounds like national miller.
- 35:49Speaker 4: Drunken drunken miller, right, you know is you know they're
- 35:54Speaker 4: all saying that Virginia Tech could be a top ten
- 35:56Speaker 4: team all season. But he was hired, brought in before
- 36:00Speaker 4: all this tumult started.
- 36:01Speaker 5: So what is he.
- 36:02Speaker 4: Thinking if if Alabama all of a sudden needs a
- 36:05Speaker 4: head coach or LSU or one of the big SEC schools,
- 36:09Speaker 4: is he jumping ship for that?
- 36:11Speaker 20: All?
- 36:11Speaker 23: Right?
- 36:11Speaker 5: Now, I'm on the outside.
- 36:12Speaker 29: I'm on the outside looking in, and and Bud has
- 36:15Speaker 29: really not gone into detail because he's in a tough position.
- 36:18Speaker 5: He's an assistant to the.
- 36:19Speaker 29: Athletic director in charge of first raise understood, and so
- 36:22Speaker 29: they have an alumni weekend coming up and and a
- 36:25Speaker 29: lot of stuff. So Bud, Bud doesn't tell me a lot.
- 36:27Speaker 29: So I'm on the outside looking in. David Teal talks
- 36:29Speaker 29: a lot on the Tech podcast. Uh, he communicates all
- 36:33Speaker 29: the time about you know, what's happening in that in
- 36:35Speaker 29: that arena. The other night Franklin went to Richmond, six
- 36:40Speaker 29: hundred see the Virginia Tech for people outside the Commonwealth, okay,
- 36:43Speaker 29: that we have across the country. Virginia Tech is a
- 36:47Speaker 29: very The fan base is as loyal as it gets.
- 36:50Speaker 29: So the other night to hear James Franklin speak, over
- 36:53Speaker 29: six hundred fans showed up, uh for their presentation and
- 36:57Speaker 29: their you know, their dinner. It's you know, they're on
- 37:00Speaker 29: the chicken circuit right now because of the you know,
- 37:04Speaker 29: all the fundraising things that you have to do and
- 37:07Speaker 29: where you have.
- 37:07Speaker 5: To travel or whatever.
- 37:08Speaker 29: But anyway, so you brought up what does James Franklin think,
- 37:12Speaker 29: Which is a great question because I think Franklin is
- 37:16Speaker 29: asking a lot of questions. I'm on the outside looking
- 37:18Speaker 29: in and saying that, but I have a feeling that
- 37:21Speaker 29: and it's not that. I mean, I'm not wreaking havoc
- 37:24Speaker 29: or saying that he's gonna leave it, you know, turn
- 37:26Speaker 29: around his cond that's not going to happen. But there
- 37:29Speaker 29: it's just interesting now how politics and presidents and regents
- 37:34Speaker 29: and all that are is spilling over in that water.
- 37:38Speaker 29: That water is spilling into the athletic department now and
- 37:41Speaker 29: our athletic directors that are very highly qualified. Joe and
- 37:45Speaker 29: I know it's conversation for another day. We're running short,
- 37:47Speaker 29: but are they saying.
- 37:49Speaker 5: Okay, I have to take a look at this well.
- 37:51Speaker 4: And it comes down to their playing politics with how
- 37:54Speaker 4: the schools teach the kids.
- 37:55Speaker 5: And that's when it comes down to good stuff. Mac,

- 43:56Speaker 7: It's one.
- 44:13Speaker 2: For you from Joe Thomas it's first thing today.
- 44:32Speaker 4: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
- 44:34Speaker 4: this morning. Four three four eight eight two four two
- 44:38Speaker 4: one seven. That is our phone number and you can

- 44:49Speaker 4: Couple of different things, Uh, the brokenness of a city?
- 44:54Speaker 4: This one from Mike writes into JT in the Morning
- 44:57Speaker 4: Radio at gmail dot com. Joe, determine what a broken
- 45:02Speaker 4: city is. Your conversation about how spread out LA is
- 45:07Speaker 4: inoculates it from ever falling prey to the things you
- 45:11Speaker 4: mentioned in New York. Your caller was one hundred percent right.
- 45:15Speaker 4: New Yorkers couldn't escape the problems that the left wing
- 45:19Speaker 4: had left the city with. Most Los Angelinos don't go
- 45:24Speaker 4: anywhere near where the trouble is. They just know what
- 45:27Speaker 4: their taxes do, and ninety percent of them feel like, well,
- 45:32Speaker 4: it keeps me from having to do anything about it myself. Well, Mike,
- 45:37Speaker 4: I don't know if you're in LA or you're listening
- 45:39Speaker 4: to us down k Met and San Bernardino or anything,
- 45:42Speaker 4: but at some point, see here's the problem economically, and
- 45:46Speaker 4: we're heading out to freedom. Fest'll be out there in
- 45:49Speaker 4: a month's time. In a month's time, we're going to
- 45:51Speaker 4: be celebrating the first two hundred and fifty years of
- 45:53Speaker 4: this country.
- 45:55Speaker 5: This country was.
- 45:56Speaker 4: Not founded on the idea of the government handing out
- 46:01Speaker 4: the help you need. This country was founded on being
- 46:07Speaker 4: a self governing opportunity. And I can hear the keyboard
- 46:12Speaker 4: warriors already, clickity click, click click. What about slavery, Joan,
- 46:16Speaker 4: does it? Clickity click click click.
- 46:17Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I get it. We made mistakes.
- 46:20Speaker 4: Read Thomas Jefferson's wonderful treaties against slavery in the day.
- 46:27Speaker 5: I believe.
- 46:28Speaker 4: Do we have the history, but I remember several years
- 46:31Speaker 4: ago we did somewhat of the history of this whole scenario.
- 46:35Speaker 5: He was already.
- 46:38Speaker 4: Ensconced in his little boarding house room in Philadelphia at
- 46:44Speaker 4: this point, trying to come up with the declaration. Am
- 46:49Speaker 4: I correct? It was it was early June. They were
- 46:52Speaker 4: already beginning the process of somebody better do something, and
- 46:56Speaker 4: it better not be John Adams, because we all hate John.
- 47:05Speaker 5: But this country.
- 47:06Speaker 4: Has decided that money replaces everything, and unfortunately, too many
- 47:16Speaker 4: conservatives might go along with this because they have allowed
- 47:22Speaker 4: the gas lighters to make capitalism equal money and I
- 47:30Speaker 4: know capital in most senses means money, but it really
- 47:38Speaker 4: means value, it means it means tangible asset. It doesn't
- 47:44Speaker 4: mean cash.
- 47:46Speaker 5: But the.
- 47:50Speaker 4: Politicians that use Professor Ken's observations of human behavior now
- 47:58Speaker 4: known as kenzianek eComics, determined that since Professor Keinges observed
- 48:07Speaker 4: that people with money generally spend money, they took that
- 48:12Speaker 4: to mean that if the government gives them money, that's
- 48:15Speaker 4: good for the economy. And I know that's a colloquialization,
- 48:22Speaker 4: and plenty of people will say, I don't think that's right,
- 48:25Speaker 4: but it is a course grind of what Kensian economics
- 48:32Speaker 4: as a governing process. But Barack Obama a Kensian mercantilist.
- 48:37Speaker 4: It's a bad combo. He believes that there's a finite
- 48:41Speaker 4: amount of wealth and that if you have a dollar,
- 48:44Speaker 4: it's because somebody else doesn't, and that's not fair. What
- 48:51Speaker 4: Barack Obama's economic view of the world is, if there's
- 48:55Speaker 4: a dollar, the government will take that dollar rather than
- 48:59Speaker 4: you have the dollar, give you twenty five cents, give
- 49:02Speaker 4: somebody else twenty five cents, and they'll keep the other fifty's.
- 49:07Speaker 4: That is it in a nutshell? Is the government will
- 49:10Speaker 4: give instead of you having that one dollar, you greedy capitalist,
- 49:18Speaker 4: They'll take the dollar from you, give you back twenty
- 49:21Speaker 4: five cents, give the poor person who would not have
- 49:24Speaker 4: had a dollar otherwise twenty five cents, and keep fifty
- 49:27Speaker 4: for themselves. When a free market capitalist says, hey, I
- 49:34Speaker 4: made a dollar, but I also employed all these people.
- 49:37Speaker 4: We brought this up yesterday as well as an economic conversation,
- 49:41Speaker 4: not that i'm you know, believe me. Put the sharp
- 49:43Speaker 4: objects down, just as a qualifier. My wife and my bookkeeper, Donna,
- 49:52Speaker 4: the women in my life. Joe doesn't touch money. Joe
- 49:56Speaker 4: doesn't touch money. Joe doesn't spend money without clearing it
- 50:01Speaker 4: on anybody.
- 50:08Speaker 5: But I understand the economics of.
- 50:09Speaker 4: Why they don't want me to have my access to
- 50:13Speaker 4: my money, the money that the company makes. But a
- 50:21Speaker 4: free market capitalist, like we talked about yesterday, says, okay,
- 50:26Speaker 4: Steve Jobs invents the iPod. Okay, let's start with the iPod.
- 50:32Speaker 4: Let's not even get all the way to the iPad.
- 50:34Speaker 4: Let's just talk about the iPod. How many artists, recording
- 50:40Speaker 4: artists became wealthy because you no longer were pirting your
- 50:44Speaker 4: records off of Napster but you were buying them for
- 50:48Speaker 4: ninety nine cents downloading the MP three onto your iPod.
- 50:54Speaker 4: Famous meetings, Steve Jobs said to all the recording company executives,
- 51:00Speaker 4: join in. You have advantaged opportunity to sell your stuff
- 51:04Speaker 4: on my iPod for ninety nine cents. Kids can download
- 51:08Speaker 4: it and it's there on there and only if you.
- 51:11Speaker 4: Sony was one of the first ones saying, hey, didn't
- 51:13Speaker 4: we used to sell singles for ninety nine cents? Killed
- 51:20Speaker 4: Napster almost overnight, and lots of new artists were able
- 51:26Speaker 4: to make money selling their records. So did Steve Jobs
- 51:31Speaker 4: become wildly wealthy?
- 51:33Speaker 5: Sure did.
- 51:35Speaker 4: The people who started Motorola in I think the thirties
- 51:40Speaker 4: or forties down there in Texas. They've sold since to Lenovo.
- 51:45Speaker 4: But I'm sitting here with what will used to be
- 51:48Speaker 4: known as a Motorola computer, I, Motorola cell phone, Motorola.
- 51:53Speaker 5: All this stuff.
- 51:54Speaker 4: A lot of people in Texas made a lot of
- 51:56Speaker 4: money working for Motorola or investing in Motorola. See the
- 52:04Speaker 4: thing about capital is wealth is generated not necessarily money,
- 52:08Speaker 4: but wealth Mackenzian only sees things as currencies. So I'll
- 52:16Speaker 4: take that dollar from you because as a mercantilist, I
- 52:20Speaker 4: believe that there's only there's only so many dollars. And
- 52:23Speaker 4: if you have more than I think your fair share
- 52:27Speaker 4: is tell me you haven't heard that phrase before. You
- 52:30Speaker 4: have more than what I've determined is your fair share,
- 52:33Speaker 4: I will vilify you until you give me more of it,
- 52:36Speaker 4: and then I will keep half and give the remaining
- 52:39Speaker 4: half to the poor who I've now ginned up and
- 52:43Speaker 4: are marching in front of your house with pitchforks and torches.
- 52:47Speaker 4: We're dangerously close to the French Revolution more than the America.
- 52:51Speaker 24: You know.
- 52:51Speaker 5: It's true.
- 52:52Speaker 20: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
- 52:55Speaker 20: to think about what matters most when it comes to
- 52:57Speaker 20: our spending our healthcare. This is why so oh many
- 53:00Speaker 20: people are joining meta share right now. Metas Share is
- 53:04Speaker 20: a trusted way to save up to fifty percent on
- 53:06Speaker 20: your monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred thousand people
- 53:10Speaker 20: have already made the switch. It's pretty obvious why too,
- 53:13Speaker 20: especially now during this challenging season with health care costs
- 53:17Speaker 20: and out of pocket.
- 53:18Speaker 5: Expenses going up.
- 53:19Speaker 20: Metas Share can save you a lot of money. The
- 53:21Speaker 20: typical family saves five hundred dollars a month. Meda Share
- 53:25Speaker 20: works too. It's been around for thirty years. Members have
- 53:28Speaker 20: shared more than five billion dollars of each other's bills.
- 53:31Speaker 20: There are different options to choose from to fit your budget.
- 53:33Speaker 20: I'll give you the number here in a second, and
- 53:35Speaker 20: if you call, you can get a price within two minutes.
- 53:38Speaker 20: Maybe now is the perfect time to make the switch
- 53:41Speaker 20: and start saving. Here you go call eight five five
- 53:44Speaker 20: share forty. That's eight five five share forty, eight five
- 53:49Speaker 20: five share forty
