  Speaker 5: ready for it yet. Many of you are sitting there saying, no,

• 0:49
  Speaker 5: there claiming that you're not finished with the month of
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: May yet, we probably have a scheduling issue we need

  Speaker 5: your day started amongst a cacophony of things that you're
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: sure you had more time to do. You're finishing them
• 1:24

  Speaker 5: line because I know that the stories of the day

• 1:43
  Speaker 5: on the air with Joe. First thing this morning. You've
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: got to put aside a few things. You don't want
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: to try to be multitasking, putting away the laundry or
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: something like that while having a conversation about something you
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: find to be very important. You want to give it
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: the gravity it deserves. So you know, open up voice
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: to text, holler your point and hit send and we

• 2:07
  Speaker 5: does a pretty as long as you don't have a
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: heavy regionalism. And by heavy regionalism, many of you can say,
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: not raised in the South, this guy. But believe me,
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: voice to text misunderstandafize quite a few things that I
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: try to tell it. So just be careful before you
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: hit send, because I will read your words into the
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: public record, whatever it may be. That's how we do it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: We tell you what went on last night and then
• 2:34

  Speaker 5: lot of Charlie Pride this month as we celebrate Pride

  Speaker 5: Month here for you for your dining and dancing pleasure
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: as well. Sure Sure College Small so our way of
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: just having a little fun with the cancel culture and
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: the label technologies that we just try to put everyone
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: in little buckets because certainly individuality has got to be
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: something the authoritarians are against. So from our first things
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: this morning, US military has been quietly providing escorts for
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: ships trying to get through the Straits of hor Moves.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Central Command has apparently been coordinating the passage so far
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: about seventy ships out of the Persian Gulf in the
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: past three weeks. The New York Times is reporting Iran's
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: chief negotiator Sunday warned that the United States was not
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: to be trusted, saying they would not agree to any
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: deal with Washington unless it fully secured Iranian rights. Momar
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: pardon me, Muhammed Bagger. Gallibov's remarks came as reporters asked
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: him about a deal that President Trump had sent back
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: to Iran. President Trump on Sunday night said on Fox News,
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: the one guarantee I have is that there will be
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: no nuclear weapons. They have agreed to that, and it
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: was very interesting. President Trump Sunday also blasted The New
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: York Times for portraying the departure of thousands of federal
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: government lawyers as a negative development. President Trump's Saturday night
• 4:37

• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Many families save five hundred bucks a month with meta

  Speaker 8: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

• 9:05
  Speaker 9: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 9: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 9: will be arrested if you don't make payments. Or provide
• 9:17
  Speaker 9: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: are not from US. Real solid security employees will never

  Speaker 9: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: call like this, hang up. Never give the call of

  Speaker 9: your personal information like your solid security number or bank account,
• 9:37
  Speaker 9: or send money in any form cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: enforcement on the Office of the Inspector General at OIG

• 9:56
  Speaker 9: and family.
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: Hi, everybody, I'm Jackhannah. It's always a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 10: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15
  Speaker 10: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 10: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 10: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:25
  Speaker 10: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 10: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 10: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 10: from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
• 10:41
  Speaker 10: a change.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: In their blood chemistry.
• 10:43
  Speaker 10: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
• 10:45
  Speaker 10: contribute to society and help those in need. So please
• 10:48
  Speaker 10: join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
• 10:51
  Speaker 10: dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
• 10:54
  Speaker 10: inhabit together. Go to American Humane dot org to learn more.

  Speaker 11: Bruh, that's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:05
  Speaker 11: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 9: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: art and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
• 11:15
  Speaker 12: brain is saying when it's time to go home.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 13: Love that guy, me too, know your buzzed warning signs,
• 11:23
  Speaker 13: call for a ride when it's time to go home.

• 12:32
  Speaker 3: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased

• 13:48
  Speaker 5: nevil when you get back home. Four three four eight

  Speaker 5: A two four two one seven. And with that, Pride
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Month begins here on First Thing Today by Joe Thomas.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: And you know by all means you have one. Let
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: us know anthems, whatever it may be, obscurities, whatever rarities, whatever, uh,
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: you know, any way to celebrate Pride Month. We're all
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: about it here on First Thing Today. A couple of
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: quick point outs from the weekend. What do you think
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: would be the media's reaction if there was a Republican
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: candidate for I don't know, a federal office, Senate House,
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: even a nominee for a cabinet position with the sort
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: of backstory that Graham Platner has. Do you do you
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: think there would be any time to tell you anything else, like, oh,
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: I don't know the tennis scores from Rollan got all?
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: You know what? There would be no time there would
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: be outside of perhaps the argument over expanding the NCAA
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: football tournament. There'd be no time for any other news
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: except for unending panel coverage if Graham Platner's backstory was
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: associated with a Republican. But they are bending over forwards
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: pun intended to try to make it out that Graham
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: Platner is misunderstood, or it's the voters in Maine and
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: they decide they, oh, it's democracy in action. This is
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: the guy that is their guy. Apparently Democrats in Maine
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: have some interesting personality traits. And do you ever hear
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: that when let's say a Republican had an accountant whose
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: last name might have been, oh, I don't know Epstein
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: and immediately shows up on somebody's Google search as being
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: associated with somebody named Epstein. And I don't even mean Jeffrey,
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: it could be Leon Epstein. Oh well, he shows up
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: in one of the Epstein files. And I just I
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: watched as much of the Sunday Talkers as I could
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: and it's just a person after a person trying to
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: explainify Graham Platner, and inevitably became a story about how
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: Susan Collins not popular with Republicans. Oh, she's not maga,
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: she's in a real battle. Susan Collins might lose. Polls
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: are close. And I just after the third or fourth one,
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: I said, I can't take this anymore because I know
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: what a Republican with one tenth of the backstory Graham
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: Platner has would be treated like in the press Newsweek
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: reporting this morning, Susan Collins trails Graham Platner in Maine
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: Senate race after mills exit, Governor Janet Mills leaving the race,
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: new poll out showing the Democrat extending his lead. And
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: this is the story. It has nothing to do with
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: all the backstory in the text messages. And now he's
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: a complex figure with a rich backstory. Good golly, How
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: obvious do you want to be? A phrase you don't
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: often hear at the beginning of Pride Month, How obvious
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: do you want it to be? You're like Nathan Lane
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: in the bird cage, dressed in a business suit, sits
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: down and he looks at Robin Williams and says, I
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: know what you're thinking. Dressed like this, I'm even more obvious.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, can you imagine a US Senate with Graham
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: Platner and John Fetterman in it dress code? We're lucky
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: they are dressed suit and tie. They wear wood suits
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: them and then they tie up their sweatpants. And I
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: don't care. I mean, I don't even want to begin
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: to tell you what sometimes I'm wearing in the studio.
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: The joy of an audio medium. But just be consistent.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: If you're going to ride roughshod over a conservative that
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: might have even just one iota of the questionable backstory
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: that Graham Platner has, do the same to Graham Platner,
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: or just put a little logo saying paid for by
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: the Democratic National Committee. That's okay. Let us know, Billy
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: May's never made a secret of the fact that he
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: was trying to sell you oxy clean. Good morning. You're
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: on the air with Joe. First thing this morning. Who's this?
• 19:52
  Speaker 16: Good morning Joe from Pennsylvania.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: It's Karen. Good morning, Kareem Howarth. And now Pennsylvania is
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: nothing like Pennsylvania. Number one is much smaller, and Number two,
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: it's also a much more politically indiverse place. But other
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: than that, I mean, there are similarities. What's going on
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: this morning.
• 20:12
  Speaker 16: I'll just enjoin the news and the views. Will the
• 20:16
  Speaker 16: FCC allow you to share some of the details of
• 20:19
  Speaker 16: Platner's rich and what was the rich and very past?
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: I will? I mean, I just don't to me, the
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: guy is allowed to be the Democratic Party nominee. This
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: is a choice Democrats get to make, and they can
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: vote in their primary and choose him as their standard bearer,
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: you know, And let's let's have an issue by issue
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: breakdown of character. I mean, whether you like or dislike
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: Susan Collins, because she, you know, will generally say if
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: the more Donald Trump wants something, the less I'm going
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: to vote for it. That's one thing to discuss. But
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: you know, when character becomes an issue, and I said
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: this last week on the program, I know a lot
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: of people like I'd rather talk about the issues, not
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: my character. Well, no, because we don't know what things
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: are going to be decided based on the vote of
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: mains senator. So when the door closes on that Senate
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: Office building, office of Theirs and somebody from K Street
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: is sitting there offering bags of money to you know,
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: get you to vote, maybe against your own belief structures,
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: and offering you kickbacks et cetera, or campaign contributions, whatever
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: it may be. That's that's where character does matter. That's
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: why I've always said character and I never used to
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: be that guy. I was like, now, let's not get
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: into a character debate, mostly because I know that you
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: could dredge up things from my past that. You know,
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: if you're explaining, as they say, you're.

  Speaker 2: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Joe Thomas Man Good bad.
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: Things talking in the same thinking the well, you know,
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: once they started putting all the funky stuff in the
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: burgers and fries. When when French fried potatoes have an
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: ingredients list, you know you're in trouble. As we celebrate
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: Pride Month this morning, a couple of points and kareem
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: on the line with us asking about, you know, whether
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: we have the permission to read some of Graham Platner's texts.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: My favorite part, though, of the grand Platner's story is well,
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: aside from the fact that the media is bending over
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: forwards to avoid the kind of coverage they would give
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: a Republican with similar indiscretions, then this one associated Press.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: Graham Platner's wife called the media reports that her husband
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: had previously exchanged sexually explicit text messages with several women shameful.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: Over the weekend, the Oyster farmer and combat veteran veteran
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: posted a video taken by his wife, Amy Gertner, who
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: told campaign who reportedly told his campaign of the text
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: messages last year in a five minute video. Girtner avoided
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: speaking directly about her husband's reported texts, dubbing the broader
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: coverage as gossip and saying that being married is hard.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: So let's expand. Since mss Gertner has decided that she
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: wants to play a role, are you saying that being
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: married to Graham Platner is hard? I find it really shameful.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: She said that there's a group of media outlets and
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: people who are willing to spread gossips. She said, leaving
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: out the word about a Democrat, because if this was
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: Susan Collins sending little hey, you know, quoting quoting Lisa
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: Left Eye Lopez shoop shoop shoop lyrics, I want to
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: thank your mama for a butt like that kind of
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: texts me messages to guys in her office first off
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: at her age. Wow. But if it was Susan Collins
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: doing this, you don't think Ms Gertner would be stomping
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: up and down saying, you know, the ethics of a
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: US senator need to be held to the highest standard.
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: No marriage is perfect. Ms Gertner goes on to say,
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: and I don't want a perfect marriage. I want my
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: marriage because I'm going to get to be a US
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: senator's wife. And trust me, I've seen way too many
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: instances where being a senators or a congressman's wife will
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: get you to say lots of let's just say creative things,
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: and that's okay. Your words are your words. Just you know,
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: we we try to hold them, you know, hold you
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: to them anyway, because, like I said, character is the thing.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: I never used to be that guy, so so I'm
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: just not that. You know, I used to not be
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: that guy who would say no, character is the issue.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: But more and more as I got older, I realized
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: that when the door closes, character does matter, because that's
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: how we know you're going to do the right thing
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: when nobody is watching. Does that make any sense? It does, Joe.
• 32:33
  Speaker 16: But I've got a few mirrors at home, and I
• 32:36
  Speaker 16: turn the lights on, So I'm a big fan of
• 32:39
  Speaker 16: looking at the every truth.
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: Joe.
• 32:41
  Speaker 16: I know you come up on a break, but I'll
• 32:44
  Speaker 16: try to make it brief before I head off. Also
• 32:47
  Speaker 16: the second subject I'll bring up before I go, but again,
• 32:51
  Speaker 16: hold up the maritory to ourselves. Rick Scott from Florida
• 32:55
  Speaker 16: was guilty or CEO or play out of the largest
• 32:58
  Speaker 16: health care fraud at that time in Florida history. And
• 33:02
  Speaker 16: then we also had a Senator Mail who posed for
• 33:05
  Speaker 16: playgirl in his younger days. We tell you what even
• 33:12
  Speaker 16: a rich and stword passed. We've already had it go
• 33:14
  Speaker 16: through Congress. The second so jail bread for a tech
• 33:17
  Speaker 16: off is local Virginia News. There's a thirty spam makers
• 33:23
  Speaker 16: asking for federal relief because a lot of the farmers
• 33:26
  Speaker 16: are losing their crops.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: Anyway, have a great day, Joe, thank you. Absolutely there's
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: more than that. She's done over the weekend. And you
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: know the story, by the way, Daily Signal my column
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: posted about how she has raised political retribution to an
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: art form, while you know, first and foremost firing a
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: guy from an appointed post to oversee the operations of
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: a major university, but also doing it in some way,
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: shape or form, to stick it to a fellow Congressman
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: Ben Klein, whose father in law was the one she fired.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's just, you know, this is the kind
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: of stuff. And she runs hot and cold, and then
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: she goes out there and says, I think it's scurrilous
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: that Democrats would be trying to put the marijuana legalization
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: into the budget and regardless of your state. We used
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: to think it was a good idea to put requirements
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: on state spending plans. I remember, oh gosh, was it
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: Mark Scousen and Freedom Fest somebody was the first one
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: as we were talking about balanced budgets. This is ten
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: height of the Tea Party movement. And it was pointed
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: out that a lot of states like New York have
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: balance budget amendments that require them to balance their budget.
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: So every year they raised this spending by thirty or
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: some odd percent and then raise taxes by the same amount,
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: pointing to the constitutional requirement that they balance the budget
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: never requires that they restrain their spending or anything. This
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: is how you get so many businesses leaving New York
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: and guys like zayfad mad money the mayor saying we'll
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: find a way to tax you anyway, and don't shrug
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: and think they won't. But you know, an idea of
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: you know, making sure that budget requirements have caps on
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: how much you can grow by GDP is always been
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: a good one as far as I've been concerned, are
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: well and good, But one of the things we've noticed
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: Washington does this as well as all of the state
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: capitals now are learning that if you can't pass something
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: legislatively because you have constitutional requirements to get a budget passed,
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: if you can somehow come up with the way to
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: make it a budget issue, then you can pass it
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: without it actually being legislated. Just say, well, it's in
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: the budget now, and it's back engineered so that you
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: can say, here's the funding for something that we haven't legislated,
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: but because we've put it in the budget now you've
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: got to do it. And it's one of those things
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: when you talk about character issues like Graham Platner, and
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: you think about what happens when the door is closed. Okay,
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: so we don't have the legislative heft or ability to
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: get this particular proposal. Let's pick on legalizing marijuana. So
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: we can't legalize marijuana legislatively, So what if we just
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: create a budget line that funds the department that we
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: can't create through general legislation, and then because we have
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: constitutional mandates on the budget, I've got to pass it
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: because we need to have the budget by the end
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: of the month, and if we don't, state police are
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: going to go home and the teachers and kids are
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: going to be running a monk in the streets, and
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: dogs and cats living together in sin real wrath of
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: God stuff with a nod to the Great Bill Murray,
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: and It's sleazy. It may be the ultimate and sleazy.
• 38:01
  Speaker 12: According to a new report from Discovery Education, ninety two
• 38:04
  Speaker 12: percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
• 38:08
  Speaker 12: and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
• 38:11
  Speaker 12: critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
• 38:15
  Speaker 12: but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
• 38:19
  Speaker 12: student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
• 38:22
  Speaker 12: students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
• 38:26
  Speaker 12: forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
• 38:28
  Speaker 12: principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
• 38:33
  Speaker 12: the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 12: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  Speaker 12: while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
• 38:45
  Speaker 12: assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
• 38:49
  Speaker 12: students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
• 38:52
  Speaker 12: yet fewer than half of teachers report using AI themselves

• 41:07
  Speaker 11: type two diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a
• 41:10
  Speaker 11: million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths

  Speaker 11: are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
• 41:18
  Speaker 11: healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about

• 41:26
  Speaker 11: if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The

  Speaker 2: Hundred to do list. Putting the radio on is the
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: first thing today?
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: You know? Is this?
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: It's I always love you know, pointing out that you know,
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: of all the things. John Tesh has contributed to the zeitgeist,
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: this is the one that will probably live forever. But
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: I wanted to as a as a basketball fan and
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: an embarrassed in New Yorker when my cousin said, hey,
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: it's the first time he sent me this wonderful list
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: of all the things that didn't exist the last time
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: the New York Knickerbockers were in the NBA Finals, And
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: I was sadly surprised to see that it was nineteen
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: ninety nine. I thought it was much longer ago than that.
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: And I mean, my dad had season tickets to Madison
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: Square Garden and we went to lots and lots of
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: all games. And I'm I will tell you, I'm old
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: enough to say I watched Walt Fraser and play basketball.
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: I even saw Bill Bradley play basketball in front of me.
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: Phil Jackson, I've watched Phil Jackson actually play basketball, not
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: just coach basketball. But it was when Phil I thought
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: it was when Phil Jackson didn't have Michael Jordan playing
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: for him. Was the last time the Knicks had made
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: it to the NBA Finals when they had to face
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: Fi Slam a jama and the University of Houston for
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: pay A Keem and Everyone Drexler Company. But apparently it
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: was nineteen ninety nine, and here we go again. We're
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: going to party like it's nineteen ninety nine and San Antonio,
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: uh and the Knicks. And but can I ask a
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: question real quick, because I have this deep affinity for
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: somebody like Greg Popovich and every shot and obviously emeritus legend,
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: can we get a shot of Greg Popovich for the
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: newspapers where he doesn't look like Captain Christopher Pike from
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: the original Star Trek series in the chair with the
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: mouth open. I mean, maybe it's not possible. I don't
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: know if it's maybe it's just, you know, he's had
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: health issues. But every picture I've seen of Greg Popovich,
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: and I'm thinking of this guy that nobody gives any
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: credit to. Everything's oh it's Phil Jackson. It's all these legends,
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: coaching legends, and Greg Popovitch just kept winning and nobody
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: sits there and says, oh, pat Riley, you mentioned these
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: red hourback. Obviously, But I was always one of those
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: guys that just wished Greg Popovich was coaching the teams
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: I was rooting for. See, just always knew how to
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: reload and on a grander scheme, the things that we're
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: supposed to pick up from our athletic enjoyments are life lessons.
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: If you've ever listened to our friend, our sports director
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: Mac McDonald does his show with Bud Foster, and it's yeah,
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: there's sports as the undergird, but the point of the
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: show is to learn leaders ship skills and the things
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: that we're supposed to take from athletics and bring into
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: the quote real world. And one of the things about Popovitch,
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: just like Joe Gibbs, Joe Gibbs another one of these guys,
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: regardless of the fact, I mean Gibbs does it in
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: the NFL, then he goes and does it in NASCAR,
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: took the podium all three for top three positions in
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: last night's NASCAR race and Nashville. And it takes people
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: like Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch and John Riggins and
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: gets them focused on team. You know, that's to me,
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: that's leadership. Can win super Bowls with guys from Doug
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: Williams who apparently had always been a black quarterback, to
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: Mark Rippin. And people wonder why Joe Iisman can sometimes
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: seem salty if you listen to him talk about the NFL,
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: I mean you know, the Washington NFL football entry has
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: got a long, storied history, and not nearly as much
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: of it involves Joe Heisman as Joe Iisman would want
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: it to be. But guys like that the leadership you learn.
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: Since I just feel like we need to cleanse our
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: palette a little bit after talking about Graham Platner, I mean,
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: because well, first off, you don't find Greg Popovich or
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: Joe Gibbs sending out, you know, sexy textes to you
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: know people. They you know, hey, you know, I want
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: to thank your mama for a butt like that kind
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: of text messages. But they understood what their job was.
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: And that's an important business application. If you run a business.
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: Oh it's good to be the boss. Well, now the
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: boss has a job, just like the employees have a job.
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: And this is one of the perversions of free market capitalism.
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: If you will, everybody has a role in an enterprise.
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: You might invent the better mouse trap, but unless you
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: want to only sell them at the farmer's market on
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: Sunday morning, you're going to need some people to help
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: you make enough of those better mouse traps to get
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: them into people's homes. And so, you know, through the
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: twentieth century. The development of what was called American exceptionalism
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: was this baffled economic class who couldn't understand why the
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: American world work, not forced to, not complied, not conscripted
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: into a workforce, could work so much better than so
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: much more ardently quote conservative workforces like Japan's. And it
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: was because Americans at the time, and this is something
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: we need to get back, regardless of who the president
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: is or what tariffs we charge on overseas goods, we
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: have to get back to the idea of everyone has
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: a job in an enterprise. You may have invented the
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: better mousetrap, but you better also find and support the
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: people who are going to help you make those better mousetraps.
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: Your job, once you've invented it is to make sure
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: the people who are making them for you have everything
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: they need to be in their world successful, including a
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: pretty clear definition of what's successful means and why what
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: they're doing for you is important. We were playing it's
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: Charlie Pride Month here on first Thing today, and we
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: were playing burgers and fries for years. My father was
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: a founding father of Burger King Corporation, and with that
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: in mind, I sort of appreciate their whole ad campaign
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: of God, did we screw this up badly? Because they did.
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: I mean, there was a point when my dad was
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: running along with a bunch of other folks that they
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: were actually more successful than McDonald's, and they screwed it
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: up because nobody, and by the time I came into
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: the business, people thought it was a crap job. So
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: providing something for somebody that they're paying for is a
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: crap job. See, this is where we're losing our economy
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: in today's troubled world.
