• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I've ever been.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Chunk
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: If you can, ah, here's Corey Bookery, always predictable.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: Take a look, and so what's happening today in America
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: that should outrage everybody. He's taking the very same agency
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: that has been bursting into our schools, into our churches,
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: into our hospitals, into our courts, and even into the
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: homes of Americans.
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: He's taking that agency that.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: Is reckless, out of control and bringing them to our
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: airports under the.
• 1:05
  Speaker 6: Lie that somehow this is going to help deal with
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: the long lines.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: That he created in the first place.
• 1:12
  Speaker 7: Tree.
• 1:12
  Speaker 8: But I want to say one thing. He's misleading American people.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: He's lying.
• 1:15
  Speaker 8: I want him to give me one example, just one
• 1:18
  Speaker 8: when ices went into a church to wrest somebody, or
• 1:21
  Speaker 8: we went into a hospital to rest somebody, or we
• 1:24
  Speaker 8: went into an elementary school to rest somebody. Just give
• 1:27
  Speaker 8: me one example.
• 1:29
  Speaker 9: As Tom Homan yesterday responding to criticism level by US
• 1:36
  Speaker 9: Senator New Jersey Senator Cory Booker about ice agents in
• 1:40
  Speaker 9: the airports. Meanwhile, four hundred and fifty ice agents have quit.
• 1:46
  Speaker 9: They've apparently run out of sick time to play the
• 1:49
  Speaker 9: blue flu game. They're approaching another payroll where they're going
• 1:53
  Speaker 9: to be asked to work without money and continue to
• 2:01
  Speaker 9: check in the passengers on our airlines. Four hour weights
• 2:09
  Speaker 9: we're hearing are common across the United States. So you
• 2:13
  Speaker 9: ask yourself a question though, and it's it's in different ways.
• 2:20
  Speaker 9: But a text message triggered me on this that the
• 2:24
  Speaker 9: TSA bleue flu as many of them call out sick
• 2:28
  Speaker 9: for shifts and leaving you know, those who remain behind
• 2:32
  Speaker 9: grievously shorthanded. Dnien asks, how is that different than what
• 2:40
  Speaker 9: Iran is doing in the Straits of Hormuz. Well, you
• 2:45
  Speaker 9: know it is an inconvenience based on trying to get
• 2:50
  Speaker 9: your way, yes, but is it necessary? There are deep
• 2:55
  Speaker 9: differences in what the TSA is doing of local airports
• 3:01
  Speaker 9: are coming up with very creative ways of helping the
• 3:06
  Speaker 9: TSA agents make sure they have food and everything else.
• 3:09
  Speaker 9: And we'll get into that coming up for you. But
• 3:12
  Speaker 9: before we get too far into discussing things, we should
• 3:14
  Speaker 9: tell you what them things are, because things is things.
• 3:19
  Speaker 9: The United States, reportedly, according to Reuters, has sent a
• 3:24
  Speaker 9: fifteen point piece plan through regional mediators as part of
• 3:28
  Speaker 9: a diplomatic effort to end the escalating conflict in Iran.
• 3:34
  Speaker 9: The fifteen point proposal includes requirements that Iran give up
• 3:38
  Speaker 9: its stockpile of highly riched uranium, to accept enhanced international
• 3:44
  Speaker 9: inspections and monitoring of its nuclear facilities, to limit the
• 3:48
  Speaker 9: range of its ballistic missiles, and to curb support for
• 3:52
  Speaker 9: regional proxy militias. Penticon ordered a couple of thousand paratroopers
• 3:59
  Speaker 9: while they consider that offer from the eighty second Airborne
• 4:03
  Speaker 9: Division to deploy to the Middle East. This is as
• 4:07
  Speaker 9: President Trump, when queried by reporters, wouldn't rule out US
• 4:12
  Speaker 9: troops engaging in Iranian on Iranian soil. Iran, meanwhile, is,
• 4:20
  Speaker 9: as you heard me mentioned, requiring a two million dollars
• 4:24
  Speaker 9: tribute for every ship that wants to pass through the
• 4:28
  Speaker 9: Strait of Hormuz. That number is nearly eight hundred ships
• 4:33
  Speaker 9: now backed up waiting to go through there because they're
• 4:36
  Speaker 9: concerned that Iran is going to start lobbing missiles at them,
• 4:40
  Speaker 9: certainly well within the target range there. The National Transportation
• 4:46
  Speaker 9: Safety Board is issued a report on the horrific crash.
• 4:50
  Speaker 9: In between an Air Canada jet and a ground crew
• 4:55
  Speaker 9: fire truck at New York's La Guardian Airport. Apparently, the
• 5:00
  Speaker 9: truck did not have a necessary piece of equipment to
• 5:06
  Speaker 9: trigger a warning system before the crash. You also heard
• 5:11
  Speaker 9: me mention that there is a growing shortage of TSA agents.
• 5:23
  Speaker 9: Four hundred and fifty of them have quit since the
• 5:26
  Speaker 9: partial government shut down that affected their agency. On February fourteenth.
• 5:33
  Speaker 9: DHS said about fifty thousand TSA officers are going without
• 5:37
  Speaker 9: pay at the moment and are still at their posts,
• 5:41
  Speaker 9: but they are about to miss a second full paycheck
• 5:45
  Speaker 9: on Friday. Many area food banks, as well as the
• 5:49
  Speaker 9: airports these folks work at, are doing everything they can
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: to make sure that these folks have food on the table.
• 5:58
  Speaker 9: And those are some of our our first things for
• 6:01
  Speaker 9: this TEDS D morning.
• 6:10

• 7:07
  Speaker 3: actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric

  Speaker 12: You were strolling along in Goodwill, when just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 12: mid century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them
• 9:08
  Speaker 12: nestled in their display case, miniature donut earrings. Oh yes, yes,

• 9:57
  Speaker 15: Exercise is hard, so was maintained a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:03
  Speaker 15: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 15: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 15: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 15: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 15: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
• 10:24
  Speaker 15: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 15: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 15: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop
• 10:36
  Speaker 15: it starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor,

  Speaker 20: I'm pretty sober.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 19: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 19: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 19: or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving. A message

• 13:20
  Speaker 22: The sea.
• 13:41
  Speaker 9: That's where you find all the good stuff. Start going
• 13:43
  Speaker 9: around there, and believe me, if you find a lot
• 13:45
  Speaker 9: of cobwebs when you're searching the crevices of your mind.
• 13:49
  Speaker 9: That might be a warning flag for yourself. Four three
• 13:53
  Speaker 9: four eight eight two four two one seven. On the
• 13:55
  Speaker 9: program that tells you what went on last night, we'll
• 13:58
  Speaker 9: tell you our analysis of it. Faux show. But it's
• 14:02
  Speaker 9: not a monologue. I know it sounds like it, and
• 14:05
  Speaker 9: I've been told it is hypnotic. I don't know if,
• 14:09
  Speaker 9: as Kareem suggests, I sound like I'm nasally all the time,
• 14:14
  Speaker 9: or that's just what growing up in New York does
• 14:17
  Speaker 9: to you. I don't know one way or t'other. I
• 14:20
  Speaker 9: want to share with you a story of tradition, traditional roles.
• 14:26
  Speaker 9: We all have traditional roles, and supposedly the left is
• 14:30
  Speaker 9: about challenging those traditional roles. Right, men, you men can
• 14:36
  Speaker 9: be boys and boys can be girls. Some mixed up,
• 14:39
  Speaker 9: jumbled up, shook up world except for Lola. I'm going
• 14:43
  Speaker 9: to tell you the story of Rob Bonta, who is
• 14:51
  Speaker 9: the Attorney General for Riverside County. Pardon me, he's the
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: attorney general for this state of California, and then Riverside
• 15:01
  Speaker 9: County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who by the way, is running
• 15:05
  Speaker 9: for governor as well as a Republican. In a battle
• 15:09
  Speaker 9: over hundreds of thousands of ballots, six hundred and fifty thousand,
• 15:18
  Speaker 9: specifically a warrant that says the sheriff wants those ballots
• 15:24
  Speaker 9: to investigate whether they.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Were real or not.
• 15:27
  Speaker 9: And I love the Attorney General's point, and then we're
• 15:30
  Speaker 9: going to get to you on the phones. The Attorney
• 15:32
  Speaker 9: General's statement.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: Called this.
• 15:42
  Speaker 9: Where did his statement go? His statement there?
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 15:53
  Speaker 9: A politically biased appeals court is going to go in
• 16:01
  Speaker 9: allow this political charade. This is from the Attorney general
• 16:06
  Speaker 9: that is only designed to sow discord and to plant
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: the seeds that the elections are not secure. Now, you're
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: the attorney general. You're supposed to be the state citizen's
• 16:20
  Speaker 9: top lawyer. Isn't it your job to make sure these
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: things are buttoned up? If somebody says, there's six hundred
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: and fifty thousand phony, blowny ballots out there, and I've
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: got them here and I have a warrant for them,
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: wouldn't the Attorney General, unless this is a purely partisan issue,
• 16:38
  Speaker 9: actually be interested in resolving that question. Because of that
• 16:43
  Speaker 9: question exists, we see more interested in what happened to
• 16:48
  Speaker 9: the news anchor's mother in Arizona than what happened to
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: these six hundred and fifty thousand ballots, which acts way
• 16:57
  Speaker 9: more of us than some news anchor or some Today
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: show hosts mother and as much as the gut three
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: cases compelling this one, I think deserves more scrutiny and
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: more effort from an attorney general whose job it is
• 17:13
  Speaker 9: regardless of their political party. From where I said, anyway
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: to fix these kind of situations, to make sure the
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: constituency is confident that their vote is counted and is
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: not diluted either. But we've seen the opposite. Let me
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: get to you at four three, four eight eight two
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: four two one seven.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: Good morning. Who you're on the air with Joe.
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: First thing this morning?
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: Who's this.
• 17:38
  Speaker 23: Morning show?
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: It's Mike, Mike? How are you doing this? Ted?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: See?
• 17:43
  Speaker 23: Oh okay, at some point I'm going to have to
• 17:46
  Speaker 23: reading negotiate my contract with you. I'm not getting the
• 17:51
  Speaker 23: personal appearances in or the photo opportunities like I used
• 17:55
  Speaker 23: to when your show was hosted in in Charlottesville. So
• 18:02
  Speaker 23: as a bit player, I'm sure I don't we get
• 18:04
  Speaker 23: a bit part of the advertising campaign.
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: And well, what we'll do is I can get I
• 18:11
  Speaker 9: can guarantee you right now, I will double the amount
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: that I pay you for your appearances?
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: How how about that I get it?
• 18:20
  Speaker 23: So from nothing to I like that. But you and
• 18:26
  Speaker 23: Joe were talking earlier in the week. But because I'm
• 18:32
  Speaker 23: a founding member of my local club for the procrastinators, right,
• 18:39
  Speaker 23: I forgot around you talking about that.
• 18:42
  Speaker 9: I used to give away round to its that used
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: to be a contest prize. We used to give away
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: round to it's.
• 18:50
  Speaker 23: But I digress with a two on one side and
• 18:54
  Speaker 23: it on desert sounds just what I need.
• 18:57
  Speaker 9: It was a mouse pad or a jar opener. Anyway,
• 19:00
  Speaker 9: So what was it that he said that made you
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: want to call?
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 19:06
  Speaker 23: Well, it was just that the government. He didn't say personate,
• 19:12
  Speaker 23: but it seemed like the government procrastinates. It's kind of
• 19:16
  Speaker 23: like some guy back in the sixties, I think his
• 19:19
  Speaker 23: last name was Kennedy, said don't ask what your government
• 19:23
  Speaker 23: can do for you. And then some other guy was
• 19:26
  Speaker 23: the initials are are I say that stud for running Reagan?
• 19:30
  Speaker 23: I mean Ronald Regan or something like that. He said
• 19:35
  Speaker 23: something like get the government out of the way. And
• 19:38
  Speaker 23: then you talked with us. Who was that Charlie? Don't
• 19:43
  Speaker 23: call me Charlie about.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: The homeless, right?
• 19:47
  Speaker 23: You know, I'm just a little slow on picking up
• 19:53
  Speaker 23: on patterns, but I do know how to count. If
• 19:57
  Speaker 23: you want, I can go out to your chests and
• 20:00
  Speaker 23: take them. If it's more than one, it's true, unless
• 20:03
  Speaker 23: you run out of fingers than a three. And of
• 20:06
  Speaker 23: course everything is three out there.
• 20:10
  Speaker 9: Everything's larger in Texas, Yeah, without question. And we'll find
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: that out in just a little while as we traverse
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: across the Mississippi and head towards Dallas this morning. Uh so,
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: So your question about Joel's call was.
• 20:29
  Speaker 23: He was making an observation that the government was making
• 20:33
  Speaker 23: knee jerk reactions to you, right right, that's already happened.
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but that's always going to be the case. Because
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: they're trying to be popular with the next round of voters,
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: not sure that they can phony up enough ballots to
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: win the next election, they don't want to leave any
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: stone unturned, and they will and they will go out
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: and pander to the to those who sit there shocked
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: at some news story, and they'll they'll find their way
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: to a podium nearby so they can say, I will
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: make sure that this never happens again, which is always
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: the first sign that something bad is going to happen.
• 21:11
  Speaker 23: Well the common A local commonwealth attorney in Virginia reminded
• 21:16
  Speaker 23: me just the last year. They're a commonwealth attorney. They
• 21:21
  Speaker 23: work for the state, not the people. Even though the
• 21:25
  Speaker 23: state is supposed to be for the people, there's a
• 21:28
  Speaker 23: separate entity.
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: By the state running. You go ahead, get to work, Mike,
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: You go ahead and get to work. I appreciate it.
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: But by the state. What the attorney, the commonwealth attorney
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: means is when he says the state, he means the
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: political party that he's a member of. That's the state
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: that he's referring to. Coming to you live from Vicksburg,

  Speaker 1: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: That's what you should use, But there are exceptions to
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: is not just due to the octane rating. There are
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: the vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: your fuel choices around say every third tank full, you
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.

  Speaker 9: Vicksburg? Vicksburg, Mississippi. Right on the middle we went. We
• 28:36
  Speaker 9: went from the Tennessee River to the Mississippi River in
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: one fell swoop. I don't think there are any other rivers.
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: I don't think the Colorado is in our travel patterns,
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: although it's a cold river in Austin, Texas. But anyway,
• 28:49
  Speaker 9: how are you doing this morning, sir?
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: I'm doing good. John I'm gonna let the listeners know that.
• 28:54

• 28:56
  Speaker 6: tax Joelson.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: You know it? Ay, you see this or you know

• 29:04
  Speaker 6: a text last night to picture this the sign of
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: Tuscaloosa three.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: Miles or whatever was that?
• 29:10
  Speaker 29: Go?
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: Where on earth are you?
• 29:12
  Speaker 9: Well Tuscaloosa?
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: It should have been self evident. I configure that? Is
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: it all right?
• 29:18
  Speaker 9: Seeing if I had any eligibility to play for the Tide?
• 29:21
  Speaker 29: Yeah, against her before.
• 29:22
  Speaker 18: She's a great player.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: Sorry, I hit the mouse. Okay, well you heard the
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: voice of Kamora Johnson.
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: Uva became the first first four to reach the regional
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: semi finals in the women's tournament eighty three seventy five.
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: The doublet went over Iowa earlier this week.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: Okay, on Monday, the Cavaliers won three games in five days,
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: beating you know, Arizona State and the overtime went over
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: Georgia and then beat the Hawkeyes in front of fourteen
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: thousand in Iowa City. So pretty tough stuff to do.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: It's also the first time a ten seed has reached
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: the Sweet sixteen since Creighton did it in twenty twenty two. Now,
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: Kamara Johnson has played one hundred and thirty three of
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: one hundred and thirty five minutes and only the fourth
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: player in Virginia history with back to back twenty five
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: plus point games. She went back to back twenty eight
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: and twenty eight. Oh, that puts her in a category
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: of Don Staley, Monica Wright, Heather Burge.
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know some pretty big names of Virginia lore.
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: Anyway, I wake up this morning, I'm doing the work,
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: you know, getting ready for Joe's morning and my morning
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: and everything, and there's Kamara Johnson being featured on the
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: four Letter.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: I mean, a one on one. It just doesn't happen often,
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: you know. And so anyway, I mean.
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: Chandler Morris last fall, I think was featured on the
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: four Letter. Anyway, she's got the match up with TCU,
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: She's got the match up with Olivia Miles.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: Looking forward to all this hoopla.
• 30:52
  Speaker 18: I played against her before. She's a great player. She
• 30:55
  Speaker 18: can literally do everything. But I'm just really excited to
• 30:57
  Speaker 18: have the opportunity to play in the Sweet sixteen. Virginia
• 31:00
  Speaker 18: hasn't been here in twenty six years, so to just
• 31:02
  Speaker 18: be able to be in the conversation alongside her name,
• 31:05
  Speaker 18: she's a great player. It's just so special.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, grew up close to the Cavalier campus,
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: wasn't sure if she was going to go to Virginia.
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: A great story and I'll tell it later tomorrow about
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: getting thrown off an AAU boys team. She was ten
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: years old and AAU said no girls allowed, and she
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: was can we do it?
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: Five?
• 31:24
  Speaker 9: And we're not allowed to do that anymore?
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: No, not anymore, school, not anymore. Okay.
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: The big story, of course, came last night when the
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: North Carolina Athletic brass said, okay, that's it, mister Davis.
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: We'd like to thank you for participating after five years
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: and one hundred and twenty five wins, a first round
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: exit in this year's dance, after your team threw up
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: on her shoes blowing a nineteen point lead to VCU,
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: we would like to congratulate you for a job well done.
• 31:52
  Speaker 30: Well.
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: The last couple of years, the Heels lost thirteen games
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: in the ACC, but Davis was just twenty six and
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: four in quad won games during his tenure. Now the
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: replacement list is growing.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: I'll talk about that in a second.
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: Naturally, you know, the internet ran wild, talk shows, Ran Wild,
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: Jeff Goodman, Pat Forty, all these national reporters talking about
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: the issue.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: What happens now? Pat Forty said, you know.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: Billy Donovan coaching the Bulls, he could be the guy.
• 32:24
  Speaker 30: This is not a job where a lot of people
• 32:27
  Speaker 30: are looking outside saying what's on our alignment. No, they're
• 32:30
  Speaker 30: saying that's North Carolina. Man, give me that job. And
• 32:33
  Speaker 30: I think if you get Billy Donovan, and I had
• 32:35
  Speaker 30: always heard this when he was at Florida, Florida was
• 32:38
  Speaker 30: not worried about losing him to anywhere other than the
• 32:41
  Speaker 30: NBA or North Carolina. And then I heard when he
• 32:44
  Speaker 30: was in the NBA the only place he might want
• 32:46
  Speaker 30: to leave to come back was North Carolina. So if
• 32:49
  Speaker 30: you can get Billy Donovan, who's one of the greatest
• 32:51
  Speaker 30: coaches in recent college basketball.
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: History, go get him, Go get him.
• 32:56
  Speaker 23: This will work.
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: Yea wait wait, wait, wait.
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: Wait and yeah no, no, no, no, I knew this was
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: we're opening discussion here.
• 33:03
  Speaker 9: North Carolina has a pattern. So if they're if they're
• 33:06
  Speaker 9: gonna go to the NBA. Why not do what they
• 33:08
  Speaker 9: did with their football team and just go hire Greg
• 33:11
  Speaker 9: Popovitch away from San Antonio. Say, you know, he's won
• 33:14
  Speaker 9: a lot of NBA championships.
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: That's gonna happy.
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: Fella, check and Popovich heading up the two major programs.
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: It's now that it makes sense. So and of course,
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: on the eve of all right.
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: The proposal, university leaders are evaluating replacing the twenty one
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: thousand seat Dean Dome with a smaller, more profitable and
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: modernized facility of about sixteen thousand seats. Now I have
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: been there. Apparently there's a site called Carolina North. It's
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: a a campus extension there in Chapel Hill, about one
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: and a half two miles from the main campus. So
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: now and now it is created. It's a seven hundred
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: million dollars deal there with renovations also, you know, other renovations.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: But the debate is a.
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: Among stakeholders, of course, some advocating for a modern income
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: generating facility, while others include former player Tyler Hansborough, who said, whoa, whoa, whoa,
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: let's renovate the current you know, let's renovate, don't relocate,
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: you know, the Dean Dome and where it is to
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: maintain the tradition of you know, on campus facilities and athletics.
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: So naturally, anything you do like that's going to be
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: you know, controversial, it's going to And ever since I
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: saw zz Top in the.
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: Dean Dome, I knew this would be a great place.
• 34:32
  Speaker 9: Interesting, Okay, But so the North Carolina because it is
• 34:38
  Speaker 9: the blue bloods, the Carolina blue bloods of basketball. They
• 34:41
  Speaker 9: have a twenty one thousand seed arena, which is bigger
• 34:45
  Speaker 9: than a lot of NBA plays. The Madison Square gardens
• 34:48
  Speaker 9: only about sixteen thou And so their issue if I
• 34:53
  Speaker 9: want to be that guy, because I generally do have
• 34:57
  Speaker 9: to be that guy, is not the it's not profitable.
• 35:01
  Speaker 9: It's that they're not filling it. See if you're filling
• 35:05
  Speaker 9: a twenty one thousand seat arena for battle.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: The twenty three thousands eight arena, but you're also being
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: profitable if you're not if you can't, so I think
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: a the problem is you're not filling a twenty one
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: thousand seed arena.
• 35:18
  Speaker 9: This happens to my friends in the eighties and nineties
• 35:21
  Speaker 9: hair bands. They'd rather play a five thousand seed auditorium.
• 35:25
  Speaker 9: They're a half empty you know coliseum. Correct, So get
• 35:31
  Speaker 9: a better basketball team, which it sounds like they're trying
• 35:34
  Speaker 9: to do. Get a better basketball team, and you don't
• 35:37
  Speaker 9: have to worry about all those empty seats at the
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: Dean Dome. That seems to be the issue.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah what And of course every program now naturally is
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: going through it. And if you look at the sweet
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: sixteen in the NCAA Tournament, what you're going to see
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: in the sweet sixteen is just a lot of a
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: lot of teams that have put major dollars, just like football,
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: and we're seeing it.
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: And I hate to beat a dead.
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: Horse, and you know, be that guy as you talk
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: about being that guy.
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: But the.
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: Schools that spend the money and provide the resource, because
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: you'll hear a coach their.
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: Favorite line is, well, you know.
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: They helped me provide the resources of you know, so
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: on and so when they provide the resources, and you
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: can ask. And now there are Alabama football players and
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: I'm not just knocking Alabama, but there are Alabama football
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: players who for the last three four years, especially with
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: NIL and the portal, have come forward and said, I
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: don't know what all the debate is about.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: He goes they gave me ten thousand dollars in the
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: car when it was like Reggie Bush. It's like, you know,
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: tell us something that.
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: And by the way, if you want to read a classic,
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: go back and read Dan Jenkins Life its own Self
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: or Dan Jenkins predicted the demise of the Old Southwest
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: Conference with you know, the likes of TCU and Houston,
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: all these schools.
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: It's a great book.
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: Not to get off the rails here, but so we
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: you know, we'll move forward now, it'll be another story
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: to chase. And if you know who Carolina is gonna get,
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: Dusty may at Michigan's being mentioned, as I said, and
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: a lot of they're probably three or four Todd Golden
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: in Florida.
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: A lot of the guys that.
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: Are in the Sweet sixteen, well not Florida, but a
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: lot of the guys that are into Sweet sixteen are
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: now being mentioned.
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: Say hey, that could be the you know, the Carolina reveal.
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: You know, it would be interesting. And I again to
• 37:33
  Speaker 9: be that guy. What was Dean Smith's pedigree before he
• 37:36
  Speaker 9: became the head coach of North Carolina. I was not
• 37:41
  Speaker 9: much exactly, So why are we you know, I'm just
• 37:45
  Speaker 9: that guy. But Max efforts brought to you by a
• 37:48
  Speaker 9: legend on the coaching sidelines himself, Bud Foster and the
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: lunch Pale Foundation. What's important now getting kids scholarship and
• 37:57
  Speaker 9: getting them with the education Lunch Pale Defense. Thanks.
• 38:01
  Speaker 31: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting
• 38:05
  Speaker 31: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Or abolishing the police.
• 38:11
  Speaker 31: At a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of
• 38:14
  Speaker 31: police the most, some elected officials would rather create more
• 38:17
  Speaker 31: chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of elected officials
• 38:21
  Speaker 31: caving in to demands of the radical left, you're not alone.

• 44:20
  Speaker 9: Go on this Tedsday. Let's get back to Banta and Bianco.
• 44:39
  Speaker 9: I love this story because it is If you want
• 44:44
  Speaker 9: a field guide to the American Left, and I you know,
• 44:47
  Speaker 9: we we like to claim that kind of responsibility here
• 44:49
  Speaker 9: on this program, to be a field guide to the
• 44:53
  Speaker 9: American Left, so you can easily identify them when they're
• 44:56
  Speaker 9: skulking in the scrub brush underneath in your back, before
• 45:00
  Speaker 9: you step on them and realize the rattler is out there.
• 45:05
  Speaker 9: The story between Bonta and Bianco, the Attorney General, has
• 45:13
  Speaker 9: been denied in court a petition to block the Sheriff's
• 45:18
  Speaker 9: investigation into the six hundred and fifty thousand ballots. In
• 45:23
  Speaker 9: the petition filed with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal, Bonta,
• 45:27
  Speaker 9: the Attorney General for the citizens of California, wrote that
• 45:31
  Speaker 9: the Sheriff's misguided investigation Pardon Me, threatens to so distrust
• 45:37
  Speaker 9: and jeopardize public confidence in upcoming elections. The investigation, he
• 45:43
  Speaker 9: also called sweeping and unprecedented, never once said there's no
• 45:48
  Speaker 9: there there, And it's nice to see a judge saying no.
• 45:52
  Speaker 9: The Sheriff wants to make sure that there isn't six
• 45:55
  Speaker 9: hundred and fifty thousand phony baloney ballots that actually in
• 46:00
  Speaker 9: confidence in our elections, that when people are filing phony
• 46:05
  Speaker 9: elections and this is part of what the left does
• 46:08
  Speaker 9: all the time, is they throw straw men arguments out
• 46:13
  Speaker 9: to distract from the actual argument. They do this David Copperfield,
• 46:18
  Speaker 9: look at the girl in the bikini while you don't
• 46:22
  Speaker 9: notice my stage hand walking the Bengal tiger off the set.
• 46:27
  Speaker 9: It's all about misdirection, sleight of hand, and bonta is
• 46:37
  Speaker 9: I believe impeachable. I mean these kind of statements from
• 46:40
  Speaker 9: an attorney general to me are impeachable offenses because your
• 46:45
  Speaker 9: whole job as attorney general, regardless of the state, is
• 46:49
  Speaker 9: to make sure that your citizens' rights are not violated.
• 46:54
  Speaker 9: There's a similar story regarding the Save America Act where
• 47:01
  Speaker 9: Hakeem Jeffries was on a podcast. It must have been
• 47:04
  Speaker 9: podcast Tuesday in the house, as Jeff Shapiro's on a
• 47:09
  Speaker 9: podcast yesterday. Everyone's doing somebody's podcast on Tuesday. Is that
• 47:13
  Speaker 9: why Thursday is always such a big day? We post
• 47:17
  Speaker 9: this show to podcast channels on Spotify and Apple all
• 47:21
  Speaker 9: the time, but Thursday seem to be the most voracious downloads.
• 47:26
  Speaker 9: So maybe everybody produces their podcasts on Tuesday and then
• 47:31
  Speaker 9: they all go up on Thursday. It's like friends or something.
• 47:34
  Speaker 9: I don't know, it's such a circular firing squad or
• 47:39
  Speaker 9: a circle of men doing something I don't know, and
• 47:42
  Speaker 9: in a shower with bathing suits on, drinking beer, whatever
• 47:45
  Speaker 9: it might be.
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: Whatever rows your boat.
• 47:50
  Speaker 9: But to me, you know, this rhetoric about the Save
• 47:53
  Speaker 9: Act that falls into the same category. So Hakim Jeffries
• 47:58
  Speaker 9: on this podcast said, this is it's a states rights issue. No,
• 48:02
  Speaker 9: it's a civil rights issue. And this is what makes
• 48:04
  Speaker 9: it coming from a guy like Hakeem the dream so stunning,
• 48:09
  Speaker 9: is it's a civil rights issue. Hakeem Jeffries is making
• 48:15
  Speaker 9: the same argument. I was at a rest area, the
• 48:18
  Speaker 9: Welcome to Alabama rest area. You heard Max talking about
• 48:21
  Speaker 9: the photograph I sent him, you know, as we were
• 48:23
  Speaker 9: driving through Tuscaloosa yesterday. But when we got to Alabama,
• 48:29
  Speaker 9: we stopped at the welcome center to take the obligatory
• 48:33
  Speaker 9: picture Welcome to Alabama and everything, and they're on the
• 48:37
  Speaker 9: plaque and the entrance to the Alabama rest area is
• 48:40
  Speaker 9: a tribute to George Wallace. And I'm thinking, you know,
• 48:45
  Speaker 9: George Wallace and Hakeem Jeffries made the same argument about
• 48:48
  Speaker 9: different things, but in the same this is a states
• 48:51
  Speaker 9: rights issue and Eisenhower said, no, it's a civil rights issue.
• 48:59
  Speaker 9: You cannot deny somebody education. You cannot deny somebody that
• 49:03
  Speaker 9: their vote will be counted as one full vote, not
• 49:07
  Speaker 9: diluted in half by somebody who's not supposed to be
• 49:09
  Speaker 9: voting voting. It's a civil rights issue, which is the
• 49:13
  Speaker 9: federal government's purview. It is it is written into the
• 49:17
  Speaker 9: US Constitution that the whole entire job of the US government,
• 49:23
  Speaker 9: and this, by the way, is part of why they
• 49:25
  Speaker 9: want you to forget. All the things that the government
• 49:27
  Speaker 9: is supposed to do is to protect your god given rights,
• 49:33
  Speaker 9: and one of them is that your citizenship shall not
• 49:37
  Speaker 9: be diluted by people who are not citizens, be they
• 49:40
  Speaker 9: non citizens or just imaginary people, or perhaps decedents who
• 49:49
  Speaker 9: are continuing to vote, diluting your vote. It's a civil
• 49:53
  Speaker 9: rights You tell me I'm wrong if you if you
• 49:56
  Speaker 9: like at four three, four eight eight two four two
• 49:59
  Speaker 9: one seven. But you can tell that Hakeim Jeffreys and
• 50:03
  Speaker 9: Chuck Schumer and the ILK are losing the battle over
• 50:06
  Speaker 9: the Save Act because they are more and more trying
• 50:09
  Speaker 9: to get Republicans to turn on John Thune and Mike
• 50:14
  Speaker 9: Johnson and President Trump rather than actually try to make
• 50:18
  Speaker 9: the case to the American people that making sure that
• 50:21
  Speaker 9: anyone who's on a voter roll is just a US citizen.
• 50:26
  Speaker 9: And that's where you get back to this case between
• 50:30
  Speaker 9: Sheriff Bianco and Attorney General Bonta. So Bianco's going through
• 50:35
  Speaker 9: six hundred and fifty thousand ballots just from Riverside County,
• 50:40
  Speaker 9: and one of Bonta's arguments as well, that's not enough
• 50:45
  Speaker 9: votes to have changed the outcome of the election.
• 50:48
  Speaker 19: Tell me if you've heard any of these before.
• 50:54
  Speaker 9: Bianco's point as well, if there's six hundred and fifty
• 50:57
  Speaker 9: thousand in Riverside County, many are in Los Angeles County?
• 51:02
  Speaker 9: How many are in Sacramento? How many all through the state?
• 51:07
  Speaker 9: Do the math? If you've got six hundred and fifty thousand,
• 51:12
  Speaker 9: do you just extrapolate as a mathematical equation, or do
• 51:15
  Speaker 9: you go county by county going through the ballots to
• 51:19
  Speaker 9: see how many are there? Interestingly, just as a student
• 51:24
  Speaker 9: of human behavior, I'll bet you you'll find that the
• 51:27
  Speaker 9: percentages will pencil out pretty equally. Maybe more so. You'll
• 51:33
  Speaker 9: you'll probably see more so in the heavily Democrat counties
• 51:38
  Speaker 9: of California. There are, believe it or not, conservative counties
• 51:42
  Speaker 9: in California. But if there is an essential right to
• 51:51
  Speaker 9: an American citizen, and it's interesting because he Keem the Dream,
• 51:54
  Speaker 9: et cetera, and Rob Bonta and his boss Gavin Newsom,
• 51:59
  Speaker 9: there all the promoters of democracy. It's an existential threat
• 52:06
  Speaker 9: to democratsy except maybe six hundred and fifty thousand votes
• 52:12
  Speaker 9: in just one county, just one county. Granted it's a
• 52:15
  Speaker 9: big populace county. But how is six hundred the possibility?
• 52:22
  Speaker 9: Let's just say the sheriff has a reasonable enough as
• 52:25
  Speaker 9: the judge has decided reasonable enough doubt that these six
• 52:29
  Speaker 9: hundred and fifty thousand ballots our phony. Isn't that an
• 52:34
  Speaker 9: existential threat to democracy? Not the existence of Donald Trump
• 52:39
  Speaker 9: or the fact that he won an election the second
• 52:42
  Speaker 9: time around. And where's your arguments about that election?
• 52:45
  Speaker 18: Huh?
• 52:45
  Speaker 9: Interesting how they managed to lose that zeal for the
• 52:49
  Speaker 9: twenty twenty four election.
• 52:51
  Speaker 33: You know, It's true, difficult times have a way of
• 52:54
  Speaker 33: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
• 52:57
  Speaker 33: when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is
• 52:59
  Speaker 33: why so many people are joining meta share right now.
• 53:03
  Speaker 33: Metashare is a trusted way to save up to fifty
• 53:06
  Speaker 33: percent on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred
• 53:09
  Speaker 33: thousand people have already made the switch. It's pretty obvious
• 53:12
  Speaker 33: why too, especially now during this challenging season with health
• 53:16
  Speaker 33: care costs and out of pocket expenses. Going up Medashare
• 53:19
  Speaker 33: can save you a lot of money. The typical family
• 53:22
  Speaker 33: saves five hundred dollars a month. Medashare works too. It's
• 53:26
  Speaker 33: been around for thirty years. Members have shared more than
• 53:28
  Speaker 33: five billion dollars of.
• 53:30
  Speaker 21: Each other's bills.
• 53:31
  Speaker 33: There are different options to choose from to fit your budget.
• 53:34
  Speaker 33: I'll give you the number here in a second, and
• 53:35
  Speaker 33: if you call, you can get a price within two minutes.
• 53:38
  Speaker 33: Maybe now is the perfect time to make the switch
• 53:41
  Speaker 33: and start saving. Here you go call eight five five
• 53:44
  Speaker 33: share forty. That's eight five five share forty eight five
• 53:49
  Speaker 33: five share forty
