"The Cost of Government" (Wednesday November 19, 2025, Hour 3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Find a morm Megan.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Now make America great again than I've ever done.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Amaze your friends here in first thing today by Joe Thomas.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: this morning on this Ted's D four three four eight
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: A two four two one seven. That is how you
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: get with us, because the you know the deal, right.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what went on. I will break it
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: down from where I said, but always allowing for the
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: fact that I might see something, or you're looking at
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: a different spot, you might see another piece of evidence
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: that needs to be brought up out and shared with
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: the class. Then that's what we do, is we gather
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: in there. We had Bob earlier. We were talking about
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: this and I got a little little push show back
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: on the statement. Hang on a second. With Steve, we
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: were talking about the fact that government policies raise taxes
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: and raise energy costs. Now you can play the This
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: is Steve Hayn from the Thomas Jefferson Institute. I talked
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: to him for my weekend program here in the Commonwealth
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: of Virginia covering the Virginia elections and how our electric
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: bills are going to go up because of policy.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: But this is all the consequence of having a governor's
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: election that wasn't about policy, but having a sein filled
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: governor's election election that was about nothing. And so we
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: didn't have the kind of debates and discussion that would
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: put governor's soon to be governor Spandberger on the spot
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: to tell us what she's going to do, because we
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: weren't putting forward contrary opinions. The Republican candidate was not
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: bringing up taxes except to say I'm going to cut
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: your car tax, which is a promise we've been making
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: for twenty years, has never been kept, and nobody believes
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: it anymore. Right, nobody believes the promise anymore. I mean,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: could find a promise that you know that someone might
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: actually keep. So again, I don't know exactly what she's
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: going to do. She's first going to take a look
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: and see what the budget shows her and if she
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: if she needs a whole lot of money, then that
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: I think there'll be a more of an inclination to
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: race and taxes.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Again, you look at what has passed.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Look what the governor. What the governor had veto, He
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: had to veto a local tax increase bill that would
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: have allowed all these localities to add a sales tax
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: one more penny on the sales tax, ostensibly for local schools.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: But again a local sales tax is very, very regressive
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: the poor folks buying groceries, buying clothes, buying school supplies.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: You know, that's a big tax on them.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: And so you know, again government creating higher costs for
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: the poor. And then they go back to the poor
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: and say, hey, you know what, you know, we can
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: help make it make you less poor if you vote
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: for us again this time around. We promise this time
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: we'll do it our first things this morning, the vote
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: almost unanimous and only in a couple of hours. The
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: House and Senate both did what they couldn't do for
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: forty five days, which would agree on something that they're
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: going to vote to order the files regarding Jeffrey Epstein
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: be released to the public. The one bump in the
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: road came when Jamie Raskin, in the midst of a
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: debate over whither a representative of Virgin Island should be
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: censured and taken off of the committee that oversees the
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: FBI and CIA, Stacey Plaskett being that representative for inappropriate
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: coordination with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, referring to a
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: twenty nineteen hearing that she would sitting on the dais
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: of getting questions fed to her from Jeffrey Epstein while
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: the testimony of Michael Cohen was going on. Department Oh
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Jamie Rashkin the part of that he comes in. He
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: dismissed the statement as just taking a phone call from
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: a constituent. He's being beat up pretty badly even in Maryland.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Over it.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Department of Homeland Security preparing to deploy two hundred and
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: fifty federal border agents to Louisiana in Mississippian Operations swamp
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: sweep set to begin December first, looking for non citizens there.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Project Graphite one is being heralded as perhaps breaking China's
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: grip on technology development and their possession of rare earth elements.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: This Graphite one site, just outside of Noam, Alaska, is
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: found to have quite a lot of not just graphite,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: but also rare earth elements. It says that the announcement
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: that the ries were discovered, in addition to the graphite
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: load portensas step up in the American energy dominance agenda
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: of the Trump administration. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: was at the White House yesterday and said Riyad would
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: ramp up its planned investments in the United States from
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: six hundred billion to one trillion dollars, striking a vote
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: of confidence in the US economy and the pro growth
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: agenda of the Trump administration. Mexican President Claudia Schinbaum rejected
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: the idea of US military strikes against cartels on Mexican soil,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: responding to President of Trump's statements on Monday saying he
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: would do whatever it takes to track down drug cartels
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: wherever they might be, she said her government's position is
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: against any US interventions there.

• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas.
• 13:18
  Speaker 25: Certain more friendham Time, look at more from Mountain, need

  Speaker 5: Oh I made you mad?
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: I made you mad? Dear mister Thomas writes, Julie got
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: my sister. She wouldn't call me, mister Thomas. Anyway, Julie
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: writes in to JT in the Morning Radio at gmail
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: dot com. I find defensive that you would somehow conflate
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: climate activism with Jeffrey Epstein. Your comments that while we're
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: on the subject of manipulating underage children, leading into a
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: column about the youth movement trying to protect the planet,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: they're going to inherit bothered me greatly. I hope your
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: employers who are listening and have the same problems. Maybe
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: they do, maybe they don't. They haven't called me in
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: on it. Julia, you're the first one in line. But
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: you tell me, I mean, let's engage the trouble with
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: the written word is I can't rejoined? You tell me,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: is it is there? Aside from the pedophilia, which is
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: a manipulation, but is it preying on a young person
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: who's just trying to find their way in the world.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: So it is the out come getting what you want,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: a group of young people saying we want to protect
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: our planet, convincing them that their very existence and this
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: is an offshoot of the same crazy You know you're
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: a racist if you're born with this color of skin,
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: whether you've ever done a racist thing in your life.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Just you existing is racist, which was Ibram Kendy's policies.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Not much of the same thing, Julia, You're falling prey
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: to this idea that education and indoctrination are the same thing.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Education is saying, Hey, dirty water is bad. Dirty water
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: is dangerous, dirty water is poisonous. Making the water dirty
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: is bad for your neighbors and your community and the
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: planet writ large. What they're doing at COP thirty, isn't that.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: What they're doing at COP thirty is taking that and
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: pretending that, you know, somehow, existing with electricity makes you
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: a criminal against humanity itself, puts you on a level that,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: you know, as we watch Nuurrenberg play out on the
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: big screen, and I'm seeing the know and stuff not
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: as great as they were hoping, considering, you know, all
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: star cast et cetera, et cetera. But while we're watching
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: this fictional retelling of the psychological investigations into a Nazi
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: war criminal, we're telling these kids that they're nothing more
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: than a war criminal against the planet if they use electricity,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: or they ride in an internal combustion car, or if
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: they allow their parents to And it's because Younger people
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: don't have the perspectives to say, hey, that's bunk and
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: look at how quickly, especially in the realm of climate alarmism.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk was able. This is why we were talking
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: with Nate from c FACT on this, because it doesn't
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: have to take a lot of socratic method to show
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: a kid, yeah, that doesn't make any sense. Actually, now
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: that you think about it. This is why they don't
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: want them to think about it. They don't want voices
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: like you and me. This is why they send attorneys
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: general like Jay Jones in Virginia after the financiers, the
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: money that supports people who question people just simply say,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: got a problem with what you're saying, because it doesn't
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: seem like there's any science in this ex for the
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: science of economics and how to move money from one
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: group to another, regardless of whether they actually wanted to
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: purchase the product or not. So we were in a
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: manipulative phase. And the fact that I tweaked you by
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: conflating the Tom Steyers of the world financiers, and I'm
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: going to bring Tom Steyer in this because he's a
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: big money financier of the Green movement. So therefore all
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: these young people that have been flown down.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: To Brazil.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: To do street theater about making money for Ge and
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Carborundum and all these other companies that have invested heavily
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: in Green New Deal science air quotes. I don't have
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: a problem drawing the parallels between what Jeffrey EPs was doing.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: And I'm sorry if that tweaks you. That was the point.
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: Was it tweak you.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: The point was to get you awake on the subject
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: of manipulating children because they've given up on trying to
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: manipulate adults. Apparently, manipulating adults like Oprah Winfrey with you know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: fake science like Michael Mann's hockey stick didn't work. So
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: now we'll go after the kids, just like McDonald's when
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: they when they were losing to Burger King's American style
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: have it your way liberty had to face, you know,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: the battle of oh, well, let's go get the kids
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: to go see Grimace. We'll give them cartoon characters, and
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: the kids would rather go where the cartoon characters are
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: than have it your way.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: Kids don't want to have it your way. Kids want
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: to be.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Told what it is and how it is and how
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: they're gonna like it, and to see a cartoon character.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: There's more marketing. You're getting a first entry level marketing degree.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: We're talking about New Coke, Burger King versus McDonald's. Hamas
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: is a marginalized community and the green agenda. Your marketing
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: degree here at the University of Chicago. So anyway, this
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: is authoritarianism on the march, this text message about the
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: New York Times release of the CIA operations going on
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: in Venezuela. Understand CIA as an intelligence gathering operation. If
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: we sailed the Jerry Ford into those waters without having
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: some intel on what's going on on the ground in Venezuela,
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: we're dumber than a bag of rocks. And I don't
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: believe we are. But the idea that the CIA has surveillance,
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: has phone records, can can see into your phones, can
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: can gather information on you, that's a that's a burgeoning
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: story continuing.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Through.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: And how Jeffrey Epstein ties into this is you look
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: at all the people who are his buddies. Do you
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: think anyone if you found out Donald Trump was text
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: messaging with Jeffrey Epstein during oh, I don't know, the
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: January sixth marches you think that'd be a big story.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: But this Stacy Hackett girl woman from Virgin Islands apparently
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: as bff's enough or was with the late pervert that
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: you could just text message with while in debating whether
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: or not Russia was colluding with the Trump administration.

  Speaker 26: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
• 23:14
  Speaker 26: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:17
  Speaker 26: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
• 23:21
  Speaker 26: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
• 23:23
  Speaker 26: the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
• 23:26
  Speaker 26: premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
• 23:29
  Speaker 26: is not just due to the octane rating. There are
• 23:31
  Speaker 26: better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too,
• 23:35
  Speaker 26: the vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
• 23:38
  Speaker 26: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
• 23:41
  Speaker 26: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
• 23:44
  Speaker 26: your fuel choices around say every third tank full, you
• 23:47
  Speaker 26: may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
• 23:50
  Speaker 26: are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.

• 24:09
  Speaker 7: actually three known gas is I I'm doctor Mitch, and

  Speaker 7: nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day

• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Morning Uh, to regale us the issues at hand in
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: the world of sports, and he coaches get hired since yesterday, Mac.
• 28:29
  Speaker 23: I'm just I'm just wondering today Castle Coliseum at ten am,
• 28:33
  Speaker 23: when he is introduced to the Virginia Tech Throng, which
• 28:35
  Speaker 23: by the way, it's an open door policy, and Virginia
• 28:38
  Speaker 23: Tech's marketing department is giving away a pair of season tickets.
• 28:42
  Speaker 23: I'm just wondering if they're gonna put down a red
• 28:44
  Speaker 23: carpet and rose petals as Franklin walks into the you know,
• 28:48
  Speaker 23: and of course everybody's taken you know, credit for the
• 28:51
  Speaker 23: hire and so on and so forth. During the break,
• 28:54
  Speaker 23: you know, behind the scenes, just so people know that,
• 28:56
  Speaker 23: you know, Joe and I communicate before we go live.
• 28:59
  Speaker 23: Joe brought up a great question. I looked at up
• 29:01
  Speaker 23: and I thought this was correct, and I had read that.
• 29:03
  Speaker 23: Joe said that somebody had, you know, whether it was
• 29:07
  Speaker 23: another school or whatever, thinks that the whole buyout situation
• 29:10
  Speaker 23: with Penn State and Franklin was an NCAA violation. But
• 29:14
  Speaker 23: it's not because I'm a mitigation clause, okay, So just
• 29:17
  Speaker 23: to walk you through it, a text biout of Franklin,
• 29:21
  Speaker 23: not the violation, because it was a negotiated settlement where
• 29:24
  Speaker 23: Penn State agreed to pay a reduced amount, with the
• 29:28
  Speaker 23: money being paid by Penn State, not Virginia Tech.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 29:32
  Speaker 23: So it's a standard contact, a contractual agreement between a
• 29:35
  Speaker 23: former employer and employee. So with the original contract, Franklin's
• 29:40
  Speaker 23: deal with Penn State would have required the university to
• 29:43
  Speaker 23: pay that significant buyout if he left. But the mitigation
• 29:46
  Speaker 23: clause is a clause that states his future earnings from
• 29:50
  Speaker 23: a new job would offset the amount that he is owed.
• 29:53
  Speaker 23: And that's what the Hokies were putting together. That's what
• 29:57
  Speaker 23: I was told at least last week. And you know,
• 30:01
  Speaker 23: so the settlement when when it got close and Franklin
• 30:04
  Speaker 23: wanted to you know, when the Bud Fosters of the
• 30:07
  Speaker 23: world were recruiting like crazy, which I'll talk to aboud
• 30:10
  Speaker 23: this week. He told me he's going to release some
• 30:12
  Speaker 23: details and maybe even we'll have write the book on
• 30:15
  Speaker 23: our show, but we'll find out, you know, more about that.
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: And then of course yesterday, so that with the press.
• 30:19
  Speaker 23: Conference, coming at ten and next hour, I'll talk about
• 30:22
  Speaker 23: the sports by.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: The way, real quick mech uh, you know, speaking conversantly.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: As a Virginia Tech football affiliate on our flagship station,
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: we were offered the option to break into regular programming
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: and carry the press conference live over the network. Were
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: you yes?
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: I was like, I don't know if we're.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Breaking into news coverage just to carry a press conference
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: with a you know, a story that we already know already.
• 30:47
  Speaker 23: Well, I'm hoping, I'm hoping the YouTube stream holds true.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna, you know, be there because.
• 30:54
  Speaker 23: The first well, the first twenty minutes are going to
• 30:56
  Speaker 23: be just thank you, and there's there's not going to
• 30:59
  Speaker 23: be a whole lot until final fifteen minutes really, and
• 31:01
  Speaker 23: I don't even know if the floor is going to
• 31:03
  Speaker 23: be opened. I'm guessing it will be at some point.
• 31:07
  Speaker 23: The writers will have a chance. But I mean it's
• 31:09
  Speaker 23: gonna be it's gonna be hokey, heaven. I mean, they're
• 31:12
  Speaker 23: gonna they're loving this right now. They should love it.
• 31:15
  Speaker 23: They should embrace it. It's a huge hire and everybody
• 31:18
  Speaker 23: talked about it. Well, we look at including of course,
• 31:22
  Speaker 23: my favorite Dabo Sweeney, who was on the level who
• 31:25
  Speaker 23: might be on.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: The move to Arkansas or Auburn.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Oh boy.
• 31:28
  Speaker 23: Anyway, Dabo said, yeah, he knows Franklin well, knows the
• 31:30
  Speaker 23: family well, and he says this is terrific for the ACC.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: He hadn't won the championship.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: He was a play away last year from being in
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: the national championship.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: But he's a proven football coach. I mean, I think
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: they made a great higher.
• 31:44
  Speaker 32: I think he'll do a great job again, great for
• 31:46
  Speaker 32: the league, great for Virginia Tech, you know, good for
• 31:49
  Speaker 32: the kids who have opportunity.
• 31:50
  Speaker 21: Coach.
• 31:50
  Speaker 23: Yeah, I can tell you one guy who could have
• 31:52
  Speaker 23: cared less yesterday was Tony Elliott UVA.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: We'll have more on that start.
• 31:55
  Speaker 23: Yeah, he was busy fours with the CFP thing. The
• 31:58
  Speaker 23: Miami pot is now boiling. I'll talk more about that
• 32:02
  Speaker 23: later too. So anyway, getting back to Penn State and Franklin,
• 32:05
  Speaker 23: he signed twelve straight top twenty five classes, and you know,
• 32:10
  Speaker 23: with Joe Paterno, Joe Paturno's classes were normally thirty to
• 32:14
  Speaker 23: forty five or whatever.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: But you know, he did a pretty good job.
• 32:17
  Speaker 23: But it's been fifteen years since the most recent of
• 32:20
  Speaker 23: Virginia Tech's four Atlantic Coast Conference titles. That's still far
• 32:24
  Speaker 23: more than Miami has. And of course, you know, he
• 32:27
  Speaker 23: just continually recruits and well, one of the jokes that
• 32:33
  Speaker 23: I read yesterday was really good. Just to repeat the joke,
• 32:36
  Speaker 23: if Franklin's problem is having to be top ten teams,
• 32:39
  Speaker 23: where he's four and twenty one, doesn't have to worry
• 32:42
  Speaker 23: about the a SEC will never have.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's gonna be Yeah, he's only got to
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: play Clemson once every two years.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: Right, yeah, all right, the.
• 32:51
  Speaker 23: Miami story and the CFP story. So I'll move on
• 32:54
  Speaker 23: from Franklin. We'll have more tomorrow from the press conference anyway.
• 32:56
  Speaker 23: So now the Miami story, because because people are going
• 32:59
  Speaker 23: back to the Miami win in September over Notre Dame,
• 33:02
  Speaker 23: Miami is now four spots. They moved up to thirteen,
• 33:05
  Speaker 23: and the CFP projections the ACC champion will.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: Get a spot in the CFP.
• 33:11
  Speaker 23: The CFP might not have room for two ACC schools,
• 33:14
  Speaker 23: even though Miami's making a case they could go ten
• 33:17
  Speaker 23: and two because they've got Virginia Tech this week and
• 33:19
  Speaker 23: then they got they go to Pitt. So but pitt
• 33:23
  Speaker 23: is also an a curious plan. They only have one loss.
• 33:26
  Speaker 23: But Pitt goes to Georgia Tech this week. Now, remember
• 33:29
  Speaker 23: I was playing the hilarity of Brent Kee last week,
• 33:32
  Speaker 23: the head coach of Georgia Tech.
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, not this week.
• 33:35
  Speaker 23: It's all serious, full practices, full pads, full tackling, full
• 33:39
  Speaker 23: you know, they have done everything to get ready. And
• 33:42
  Speaker 23: why well, Brent Kee game face already.
• 33:46
  Speaker 32: So this is a this is a championship game in
• 33:48
  Speaker 32: its own right. That's where we're viewing, it's where we're
• 33:50
  Speaker 32: approaching it. It's on everybody to get the job done.
• 33:54
  Speaker 31: Right.
• 33:54
  Speaker 32: That starts with me, And it's the coordinators, it's the
• 33:56
  Speaker 32: assistant coaches, and it's the players.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: We got to get guys.
• 33:59
  Speaker 32: Whatever whatever it takes, by any means necessary. We're in
• 34:03
  Speaker 32: championship football right now. Whatever it takes to get the
• 34:05
  Speaker 32: job done must be done.
• 34:07
  Speaker 23: Oh while they so while the SEC you know, battles
• 34:10
  Speaker 23: and you know rips everybody and still wants to know
• 34:12
  Speaker 23: what Lane Kivin is gonna do at all, Miss frank
• 34:14
  Speaker 23: k is saying, hey, this is where we are, this
• 34:17
  Speaker 23: is what we're going to do. You know, that's just
• 34:21
  Speaker 23: that's just the way it sits. But I I will
• 34:23
  Speaker 23: Talk Next Hour again. I just thought it was funny
• 34:27
  Speaker 23: that the Franklin hire, so the splash on Virginia Tech,
• 34:32
  Speaker 23: you know, Virginia Tech front page Hockey Sports dot Com
• 34:35
  Speaker 23: is huge, colorful Jersey, you know, beautiful AI produced stuff.
• 34:40
  Speaker 23: And I'm not knocking, don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing.
• 34:43
  Speaker 23: But what I just had to laugh at was right
• 34:46
  Speaker 23: underneath renew your twenty six twenty twenty six season tickets,
• 34:50
  Speaker 23: now Franklin blah blah blah. And and then of course
• 34:54
  Speaker 23: it included the whole public thing of the invest to
• 34:57
  Speaker 23: win campaign. And then Tim Sands and Hit Babcock and
• 35:01
  Speaker 23: this were Cocovich or whatever, this guy who headed up
• 35:03
  Speaker 23: the committee. They're splashed on the front page, the three
• 35:06
  Speaker 23: of them, like it was the three amigos that got
• 35:08
  Speaker 23: the deal done, and now they're they're heroes because Franklin's
• 35:11
  Speaker 23: coming to to me, it's just I don't know, maybe
• 35:14
  Speaker 23: I'm getting cynical in my old age.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: Like, you know, Virginia Tech.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: At least of the ACC schools outside of Clemson. I
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: think Clemson is, you know, is an SEC school in
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: that way, and Virginia Tech very much was a Big
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: ten school when they were playing in the Big East.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, when they left the Big East,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: there was some question whether they would go to the
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Big Ten, you know, because they were getting recruited by
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: the Big Ten. They wanted a southern school to claim.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: But they still don't have that kind of game day
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: where fifty thousand people show up in southern Virginia, not
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: even to go to the game, just to be there
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: outside the stadium, sitting there if they get there. I mean,
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: and I'm watching these kids all announce, oh yeah, now
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: I'm going to recommit. You know, those guys who decommitted
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: from Virginia Tech are now recommitting. And all these penn
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: State guys who had pulled out of their commitments, all
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: these five star kids from western Pennsylvania and Ohio, which
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: was the recruiting area out there, you know, corn fed
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: and everything. You know, that's where your offensive line comes from.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: You know, they're all recommitting to Franklin to come to Blacksburg. Now,
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: so he may already have a top twenty five class exactly.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: You just brought the late great Sammy Beal.
• 36:35
  Speaker 23: And for people in Virginia, they know Sammy Beal. He
• 36:37
  Speaker 23: was a Virginia baseball coach and then Leed Miller school.
• 36:41
  Speaker 23: You know, before Billy Wagner, Sammy Beal was just baseball.
• 36:44
  Speaker 23: He was just and we love Sammy. Sammy was my
• 36:47
  Speaker 23: first color man in nineteen eighty when I was doing
• 36:49
  Speaker 23: high school football. When I got you know, I was
• 36:52
  Speaker 23: doing Virginia of course, and then you know it was
• 36:53
  Speaker 23: doing high school football and Sammy in our very first game,
• 36:57
  Speaker 23: we were talking. We were comparing the Midwest and we're
• 37:00
  Speaker 23: r Ginia.
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: We were talking about, you know, Iowa High School because
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: I had just moved.
• 37:03
  Speaker 23: There, and Sammy came up with the line that I've
• 37:05
  Speaker 23: always remembered, Well, you might be corn fed, but we're
• 37:08
  Speaker 23: corn bread and all of these I'll just always remember
• 37:13
  Speaker 23: that corn fed versus you know that stays there and
• 37:16
  Speaker 23: God rest him and rested peace. Had a couple of
• 37:19
  Speaker 23: years ago and it is truly one of the one
• 37:22
  Speaker 23: of the greats.
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: And also real quick. So a guy who who literally watched.
• 37:27
  Speaker 23: Sopranos with me for a full year the final season, Hunter,
• 37:30
  Speaker 23: you're a check who's the ad at Arkansas who has
• 37:33
  Speaker 23: done really well in college athletics. He is the new
• 37:36
  Speaker 23: because of Mac Rhodes and the Baylor blunder on the sidelines.
• 37:40
  Speaker 23: Hunter is now the spokesperson, he's on the he's the
• 37:43
  Speaker 23: CFP chair. And I'll have more with Hunter. I'm gonna
• 37:46
  Speaker 23: I'm going to find him a Tony Sopranos quote this week,
• 37:49
  Speaker 23: you know, talking about committees and.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: So I got to have low friends and high places
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: right there.
• 37:54
  Speaker 23: Yeah, well that's what you do, you know. So I'll
• 37:57

  Speaker 18: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
• 38:09
  Speaker 18: the police.
• 38:11
  Speaker 25: At a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of
• 38:14
  Speaker 25: police the most, some elected officials would rather create more
• 38:17
  Speaker 25: chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of elected officials
• 38:21

• 44:25
  Speaker 3: I appreciate you being there and taking some time with us.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: Don't let me forget. We've got to get into this
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: court ruling on the Texas redistricting and what it might
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: even mean to some of the other states that are
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: running down this path. But it is our carrying beyond
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: cancer segment. And a medical professional I've known since before
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: I knew I had a lymph gland the size of
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: a white Castle Hamburger. Her name is Kathleen Hayden. She's
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: a nurse practitioner, and we're gonna talk a little bit
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: about pancreatic cancer. But Kathleen, good to catch up with you.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: How are you doing this morning.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: I'm well, thank you, I'm glad you're wealth.
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, doing great. Eleven years now. It just
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: struck me the other day it's been over over a
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: decade since I discovered that, and and the you know,
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: so I almost feel like I can't bear testimony any more.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: Although I can't I can't give blood either but uh,
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: and that was and and you know, I kid you not,
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: I know, I have this you know industry that uh,
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: you know, guilt by association. People in radio tend to exaggerate,
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: but I had I had one lymph planed and said
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: it was interesting how they managed to figure out what
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: rare lymphoma I had only impacted one gland, but man
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: it was it was huge, enormous and uh and great
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: doctors and nurses and diagnosticians who finally were able to
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: figure it out with with some incredible technology, which I
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: assume in eleven years has gotten better. Uh, Kathleen, fear
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: folks like you to help. You know, somebody coming in
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: saying I don't know what this thing is on me,
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: and you can help them figure it out even better, right,
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 46:07
  Speaker 34: I mean I've been in the field of oncology since
• 46:09
  Speaker 34: nineteen eighty five and I just forty years. It's my
• 46:12
  Speaker 34: fortieth year anniversary working in the field.
• 46:15
  Speaker 35: Happy And it's just remarkable how science has evolved and
• 46:21
  Speaker 35: how important science is, of course, and yeah, the accomplishments
• 46:26
  Speaker 35: we've made in the disease.
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, there are different specialties. But when
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: you talk ab whether it's breast or you know, limph
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: or in this case, you know, we're going to talk
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: a little bit about pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. These gland
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: based cancers are some of the deadliest potentially because they
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: move so fast, don't they.
• 46:51
  Speaker 34: Yeah, I think, well, with pancreatic cancer, you know, it's
• 46:54
  Speaker 34: it's relatively rare. It affects men and women equally. There's
• 46:59
  Speaker 34: only about sixty eight thousand cases a year, so it's
• 47:03
  Speaker 34: not as high as you know, breast and long pole
• 47:07
  Speaker 34: and prostate. But the problem is the majority of those
• 47:11
  Speaker 34: people die. So it's actually by twenty thirty, they think
• 47:15
  Speaker 34: it's going to be the second leading cause of cancer deaths.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 47:18
  Speaker 34: And with the pious, which is a hormone organ that
• 47:21
  Speaker 34: makes our digestive juices and our insulin. Sits deep behind
• 47:25
  Speaker 34: our stomach, close to the back. It's just a really
• 47:29
  Speaker 34: persnicity organ and we don't really know the exact causes
• 47:33
  Speaker 34: of it. We know obesity associated with it, definitely, smoking, diabetes, yeah,
• 47:41
  Speaker 34: and people that have chronic pancreatitis. And so the problem is,
• 47:48
  Speaker 34: you know, how can we find it early? And UBA
• 47:51
  Speaker 34: is a Pancreatic Cancer Center of Excellence. We have great
• 47:54
  Speaker 34: pancreatic surgeons. We have great gastronurologists that help diagnose and
• 48:01
  Speaker 34: help us follow these diseases. And because of that, at
• 48:04
  Speaker 34: Emily Kirk, you know who our cancer center is named of,
• 48:08
  Speaker 34: unfortunately passed from the disease back in two thousand and.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: One, and.
• 48:14
  Speaker 34: I was asked and charged with starting a high risk
• 48:18
  Speaker 34: pancreatic cancer screening program because we want to learn, like,
• 48:22
  Speaker 34: can we prevent it? Can we screen for this and
• 48:25
  Speaker 34: and change the five years survival which is now only
• 48:28
  Speaker 34: about ten percent? You know, can we increase that five
• 48:32
  Speaker 34: year survival? Can we find it early? And so I've
• 48:35
  Speaker 34: been running this clinic since twenty thirteen. We have lots
• 48:39
  Speaker 34: of good information to take a risk assessment on UVA Health.
• 48:43
  Speaker 34: You just google the high Risk Pancreatic Screening program, and
• 48:47
  Speaker 34: so we're actually screening those at high risk. We know
• 48:50
  Speaker 34: there's potentially an hereditary relationship, meaning did I you know
• 48:56
  Speaker 34: inhertaging from mom or dad that increases my risk of
• 49:01
  Speaker 34: developing the disease. So there is a part of genetics
• 49:05
  Speaker 34: as well that we're exploring. And for people with two
• 49:09
  Speaker 34: or more family members or one of these genes, we
• 49:12
  Speaker 34: offer screening.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: Well, and that's part of the investigative process to figure
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: out not just best treatments, but best ways to catch
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: it early because like with all but the problem with
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: pancreatic cancer is it probably gets to stage four more
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: frequently than any other cancer. I hear from people telling me,
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: you know, oh I found out I have pancreatic cancer.
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: It's for stage four. I've got you know, six months,
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: rather than saying, hey, I caught it early and it's
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: all you know, lum back to me or a little radiation.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: So we really have to get there, don't we.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
• 49:50
  Speaker 34: And I think I always stress the importance of prevention
• 49:53
  Speaker 34: by looking at our diet and exercises needs preventing most
• 49:57
  Speaker 34: cancers and heart disease. But yeah, I'm very excited that
• 50:02
  Speaker 34: last spring I joined sixty two other high risk pancreatic
• 50:06
  Speaker 34: screening programs around the world.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: It's called the.
• 50:09
  Speaker 34: Precede Consortium, and we are working together and doing research
• 50:14
  Speaker 34: to say are we making a difference. We do a test,
• 50:17
  Speaker 34: either an MRI of r abdomen or a proceed you're
• 50:20
  Speaker 34: called endoscopic ultrasound. I work closely with doctor Vanessa Shami,
• 50:23
  Speaker 34: and we screen patients who are candidates. I just went
• 50:27
  Speaker 34: to an exciting meeting with the Proceed Consortium last week
• 50:30
  Speaker 34: and it's just so exciting to see the scientist and
• 50:34
  Speaker 34: the gaser, neurologists, the surgeons, just all these people working
• 50:39
  Speaker 34: together to increase that five year survival.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: And we know there's inklings if we do.
• 50:44
  Speaker 34: Screen we are finding it early in some studies. But
• 50:48
  Speaker 34: this is a data research collection. The hope is to
• 50:52
  Speaker 34: perspectively study this over ten years. Already we have ten
• 50:55
  Speaker 34: thousand people enrolled, so we want to follow these people
• 50:59
  Speaker 34: and say, hey, are we making a difference doing this?
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: So how do people how do people join if they're listening,
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: you know, and maybe they can't get to the core accenter,
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: but they're listening somewhere where they would want to join
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: in or at least want yes.
• 51:13
  Speaker 34: Yeah, so that you can look at our website and
• 51:15
  Speaker 34: look if you're a candidate, if you have a mom,
• 51:18
  Speaker 34: you know, one family member with pancreatic cancer, typically not
• 51:21
  Speaker 34: a candidate for screening. So again it's two or more
• 51:24
  Speaker 34: family members, one being a first degree a sibling, mom
• 51:27
  Speaker 34: or dad, or you know, do we look at the
• 51:30
  Speaker 34: family history and say, hey, there looks to be some
• 51:34
  Speaker 34: genetic thing going on. We see breast cancer, we see
• 51:37
  Speaker 34: colon cancer, we see you know, pancreatic cancer of course,
• 51:40
  Speaker 34: and we send them to our genetic counselors to do
• 51:45
  Speaker 34: these germline tests to see if they carry a gene.
• 51:49
  Speaker 34: People don't realize Bracket two, which is b r C,
• 51:52
  Speaker 34: a two gene that increases the risk of breast and
• 51:55
  Speaker 34: ovarian cancer, is a very common gene we're seeing in
• 51:59
  Speaker 34: patient and that actually increases your risk of pancreatic cancer
• 52:03
  Speaker 34: as well. So you know, it's so we look to
• 52:07
  Speaker 34: see is there a gene. So yeah, there's a very
• 52:11
  Speaker 34: specific population that we do screen. And the Precede Consortium
