"Talking to People" (FTTxJT Fri 082826 hr3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: We've got to protect our phony baloney job, gentlemen.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: We must do something about this immediately. Immediately.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Immediately.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: For you, from Joe Thomas, it's First Thing Today. Joe
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: works at a steel mill.
• 0:14
  Speaker 4: He's damn near every day.
• 0:17
  Speaker 5: Leaves for work when the sun comes up. Drops the
• 0:20
  Speaker 5: kids to school and all the work. Joe has everything
• 0:23
  Speaker 5: he dreamed of.
• 0:25
  Speaker 6: All the treasures that he needs. No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:30
  Speaker 7: He only aims to please you.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Let me be your judge.
• 0:35
  Speaker 8: Oh, bless you for letting me be of service to
• 0:38
  Speaker 8: you this morning.
• 0:38
  Speaker 6: I want to be your judge.
• 0:41
  Speaker 8: As we gather in just absolutely beautiful sunrise on the
• 0:44
  Speaker 8: eastern seaboard. Our studios are not. they're in a basement.
• 0:49
  Speaker 8: And I know it's kind of a stereotype, but we
• 0:53
  Speaker 8: have a couple of windows. But you really only grasp
• 0:56
  Speaker 8: the fact that there is light out as it takes
• 1:01
  Speaker 8: charge of the day. You don't experience it as it
• 1:05
  Speaker 8: really gets the day begun. And it is something special
• 1:09
  Speaker 8: to be able to watch. It's one of the reasons
• 1:11
  Speaker 8: we love getting out. and doing these broadcasts on location.
• 1:15
  Speaker 8: We're going to be in Shanksville on September 10th, 11th, 12th,
• 1:19
  Speaker 8: brought to you by Big Ridge Guns and Archery and
• 1:23
  Speaker 8: our friends at the Heritage Guide to Historical Sites and
• 1:27
  Speaker 8: many other places. We're going to be all over the place.
• 1:30
  Speaker 8: We're still working on the Gulf of America tour. Don't
• 1:33
  Speaker 8: know if we're going to have to do a Lake
• 1:35
  Speaker 8: of America tour now that the president has decided that
• 1:41
  Speaker 8: calling it Lake Ontario was not sufficient. And so now
• 1:45
  Speaker 8: we have Lake of America. Curious question, though, having worked
• 1:49
  Speaker 8: in Buffalo, do you want the United States associated with
• 1:52
  Speaker 8: the lake that gives you lake effect snow? Because I
• 1:57
  Speaker 8: can see the leftists out there saying, see all the
• 2:00
  Speaker 8: snow that fell on Buffalo and Rochester and Syracuse because
• 2:04
  Speaker 8: of the Lake of America. And I can see the
• 2:07
  Speaker 8: Jimmy Kimmel's of the world. Well, no, actually, they're not
• 2:12
  Speaker 8: smart enough to make this joke. See, I would, if
• 2:16
  Speaker 8: I was somebody who just wanted to bash Donald Trump,
• 2:20
  Speaker 8: would have said, huh, a lake that covers all the
• 2:23
  Speaker 8: cities near it in feet upon feet of snow. Named
• 2:27
  Speaker 8: after the United States of America, huh? So, you see, yeah,
• 2:32
  Speaker 8: and I have to work hard to kind of think
• 2:34
  Speaker 8: of that stuff like that, but I'm just trying to
• 2:37
  Speaker 8: inoculate you. It's a little, you know, verbal vaccine for
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: you this morning. Great folks, emails, jtinthemorningradio at gmail.com, as
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: well as phone calls and text messages at 434-882-4217. This
• 2:51
  Speaker 8: text message, Danny, listening to us this morning on WGOWAM
• 3:00
  Speaker 8: in Chattanooga, says, don't you have some sort of limit
• 3:03
  Speaker 8: on how many phone calls you can take, Joe? I
• 3:07
  Speaker 8: know that some of my talk show hosts say that
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: they can only take phone calls in certain segments. I
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: don't know. That sounds an awful lot like classic rock
• 3:14
  Speaker 8: radio or top 40 radio to me. I didn't get
• 3:18
  Speaker 8: into this business to not talk to people on the phone.
• 3:21
  Speaker 8: I'm still here. I get what you're saying. You want
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: to hear my analysis of the news of the day? Well,
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: let's get on with it, doggone it, and tell you
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: what's going on. Iran is claiming that they are not
• 3:34
  Speaker 8: the ones who put together the plot to assassinate Barron Trump.
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: Mohsen Rezaei, the security chief for the Islamic Republic, said
• 3:48
  Speaker 8: on Lebanon TV that that it was not their government
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: that did it. Meanwhile, he also said he and Oman's
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: military leaders have worked out a deal where the Strait
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: of Hormuz will have international waters down the middle of it,
• 4:06
  Speaker 8: ostensibly part of it being contributed by Oman, part of
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: it contributed by the Republic of Iran, and it would
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: be open to all because of international shipping laws. Chief
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: of Naval Operations says we need a bigger Navy. Now,
• 4:23
  Speaker 8: he's probably said that before, but in this case, he's
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: now pointing to our extended stay in the Middle East
• 4:30
  Speaker 8: as the USS Theodore Roosevelt brings its battle group and
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: its big stick to the Middle East. We're short of
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: carriers in Pacific Command, Admiral Darrell Caudill told a small
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: group of reporters in Norfolk, Virginia yesterday. The Treasury Department
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: is bringing its IRS inspectors to the Open Society Foundation,
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Council on American
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: Islamic Relations, nonprofits accused of abusing their tax-exempt status. We
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: mentioned this earlier. President Trump continues to troll his neighbors
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: to the north by saying that as far as American
• 5:10
  Speaker 8: maps were concerned, That which had been called Lake Ontario
• 5:14
  Speaker 8: is now to be known as Lake America because it's
• 5:17
  Speaker 8: in the United States. He has picked up an ally
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: from the Democratic Party, and it's not John Fetterman. Congressman
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: Jared Golden, Democrat of Maine, whose congressional district runs along
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: the Canadian border, said if Canada thinks they're better off
• 5:33
  Speaker 8: without our goods, I wish them luck. I suspect in
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: the long run. It won't go well for him. President
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: Trump will be going to the Pentagon on September 11th,
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: not to New York, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: the terrorist attacks on America.
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
• 5:57
  Speaker 9: the American story. But not every site is telling that
• 6:00
  Speaker 9: story honestly and fairly. That's why the Heritage Foundation created
• 6:04
  Speaker 9: the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips
• 6:08
  Speaker 9: American citizens with the tools they need to enjoy the
• 6:12
  Speaker 9: sites that depict some of the greatest moments in our
• 6:15
  Speaker 9: nation's history, analyzing them for historical accuracy, and provides resources
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: for families or educators planning a visit. It currently covers
• 6:24
  Speaker 9: over 45 sites in the 13 original colonies, but sites
• 6:28
  Speaker 9: from all 50 states will be added in time for
• 6:31
  Speaker 9: citizens to celebrate America 250 this summer. From Mount Vernon
• 6:35
  Speaker 9: to Independence Hall to Gettysburg and more, Americans deserve transparency
• 6:41
  Speaker 9: and sites that steward our history faithfully deserve our gratitude.
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites invites every American to
• 6:49
  Speaker 9: rediscover the places and stories that define our nation, whether
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: it's across the country or in your backyard. Visit historicsites.heritage.org.
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: to start your adventure today.
• 7:01
  Speaker 10: Let's see, if something costs less, a lot less, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 10: people are actually happier with it, that sounds like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: to look into, and that's Metashare. Maybe you've heard joining
• 7:11
  Speaker 10: Metashare can save you or your family up to 500
• 7:14
  Speaker 10: bucks a month, and that's huge, but it's also true.
• 7:17
  Speaker 10: People are just happier with it. They love being part
• 7:19
  Speaker 10: of something that reflects and promotes their values and what
• 7:22
  Speaker 10: they believe in, MediShare works too. It's been around for
• 7:26
  Speaker 10: 30 years now, and members have shared more than $ 7
• 7:29
  Speaker 10: billion of each other's bills. People love having telehealth and
• 7:33
  Speaker 10: a huge nationwide PPO network. So yeah, really, you can
• 7:36
  Speaker 10: save a ton and like it better. Imagine being happy
• 7:39
  Speaker 10: with how you're taking care of your health care, whether
• 7:41
  Speaker 10: you're self-employed or part of the gig economy, or you
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: just want a plan that you're happy with.
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: Here you go.

  Speaker 5: 855-S-H-A-R-E-40.

  Speaker 2: 855-SHARE-40.
• 8:02
  Speaker 11: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
• 8:05
  Speaker 11: feels like even a family road trip is taking a risk.
• 8:08
  Speaker 11: We don't want the feeling of being unprotected and vulnerable.
• 8:11

• 9:02
  Speaker 13: You were strolling along in goodwill. When just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 13: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them, nestled
• 9:09
  Speaker 13: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: Oh, yes!
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Yes!
• 9:16
  Speaker 13: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 9:20
  Speaker 13: favorite form of ear candy. Oh, my. Those bejeweled sprinkles
• 9:25
  Speaker 13: have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Shh.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Do you smell that?
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Shh.
• 9:32
  Speaker 13: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 9:38
  Speaker 13: And with every item you buy, you fund local job
• 9:41
  Speaker 13: training and more.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: So go forth.
• 9:45
  Speaker 13: Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home so much.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Good to your community.
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: Goodwill.
• 9:54
  Speaker 13: Bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 14: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 14: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 14: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 14: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 14: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 14: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:24
  Speaker 14: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 14: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 14: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 14: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 15: Eat better.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Get moving.

  Speaker 14: Diabetes Association.
• 10:50
  Speaker 16: My name is Jim. I'm a veteran, and I lost
• 10:52
  Speaker 16: both legs in Vietnam. My victory was proving that disability
• 10:56
  Speaker 16: is not a limitation.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I'm Julius.
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: I'm a veteran.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: My victory was going from homeless to home.
• 11:03
  Speaker 17: At DAV, we're on a mission, helping veterans of all
• 11:06
  Speaker 17: generations get the benefits they've earned.
• 11:09
  Speaker 15: I'm CeCe.
• 11:10
  Speaker 14: My victory was finishing my education.
• 11:12

• 11:16
  Speaker 17: more victories for veterans.

  Speaker 5: bound together and guaranteed. Think first. Learn more at thinkfirstamendment.org.
• 11:47
  Speaker 18: No word in the English language is less convincing.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Then probably.
• 11:52
  Speaker 15: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:55
  Speaker 15: first date?
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 19: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 18: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I can probably swim.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Cannonball!
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: Cramp!
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I have a cramp.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Probably. Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 12: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 18: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 18: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 18: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
• 12:45
  Speaker 18: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 12:47
  Speaker 15: You know the legal drinking age is 21. You may
• 12:50
  Speaker 15: also know this law protects teens. Find out more at DontServeTeens.gov.

  Speaker 15: the Federal Trade Commission.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: This is Independence from Virginia, again. First thing today by
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:24
  Speaker 8: I want to thank Barry, who sent this in. He says, Joe,
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: I know your affinity for guitar players. I don't know
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: if you've ever heard of Steve Morse, but since they're
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: complaining you take too many calls, here's a link to
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: a song called Too Many Notes.
• 13:52
  Speaker 20: Barry?
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Barry.
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: Toby Sweetheart. I've seen Steve Morse so many times in person.
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: He's one of our favorites. About the only artist that
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: we've seen more frequently than Steve Morse is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: But I can't talk about the Trans-Siberian Orchestra right now because, well,
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: it's not September 9th yet. I didn't say anything out loud.
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: You didn't hear me say that. I'll deny it. To
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: all ends, text messages and phone calls come in to
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: 434-882-4217 as we gather together with our friends at the
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: City Elders, cityelders.com. Start a group where you are and
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: maybe I'll come out to that too. It's not too
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: bad when it's only to Fishersville. But if you want,
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: I will come to your city elders group. I have
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: no compunction about that because I love hanging out with people.
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: And that may be why you may say, well, Joe,
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: you take an awful lot of phone calls. We take
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: more phone calls before 6 a.m. The most morning radio
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: shows take in a day. And part of that is
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: because I just find that adding your thoughts to mine
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: makes it better. Especially if there's a disagreement about something.
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: We were talking about the Eagle Forum and the John
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: Birch Society and a ton of emails and text messages
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: about that. One of the things that we have to
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: get back to is that there is a force multiplier
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: involved in joining groups like City Elders. But understand how
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: A carpenter rabbi from a little fishing village brought down
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: the Roman Empire. Did he do it by big groups
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: of coalitions and fundraising emails? Or did he just walk
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: around talking to people? And then after he was... killed
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: by the Romans for walking around and talking to people,
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: his friends, his apostles, went forth and talked to people
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: to the point where as the Roman Empire was predictably
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: consuming itself in its own debauchery, in its own unfaithful ways,
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: in its own self-indulgence, a desperate leader of what remained
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: of the Roman Empire, reached out to this carpenter rabbi
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: from a little fishing village, reached out to his followers
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: and said, how about we make a deal? And the
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: Catholic Church was born, even the one that includes Tim Kaine,
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: senator from Virginia. A couple other points, but a lot
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: of folks talking about, you know, well, this eagle forms...
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: every organization that is working towards conservative principles, which start
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: with your independence, your sovereignty, your ability to live your
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: life to the best of your abilities, and that you
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: know that there are hands at work behind you that
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: prop you up, that give you the wind beneath your wings,
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: that you know this, that your rights come from your creator.
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: But you need to have a creator. You need to
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: have that rooting, and that's sort of what the city
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: elders are all about. But if you reconstitute, if you
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: go back and look at why we haven't taken the
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: Constitution away, and we began the show with a survey.
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: Do we still have the survey? A poll, Cato Institute
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: is still finding that the U.S. Constitution has an 85% favorability.
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: Breaks my heart that there's 15% that said no. But
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: that's after how many hours and how many trillions of
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: dollars spent on gaslight marketing trying to convince Americans that
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: the Constitution has failed them somehow. So it's still there.
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: We still know it. And this goes into why I
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: do what I do every day. Because while the campaigners
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: and the complainers are busy... making it out that the
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: government has failed you somehow, and they're not helping you,
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: and they're not covering your insurance or paying for your
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: medical bills or making sure you have an apartment. None
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: of that is in the U.S. Constitution. Your right to
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: live your life freely. And if a group is trying
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: to fight abortion, I have no problem with that. And
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: we might disagree on whether it should be done legislatively
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: or emotionally. I understand wanting to make sure that there
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: are no laws out there like the one here in
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: Virginia that would compel somebody to be complicit in the
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: abortion industry. America can't be about laws that compel you
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: to do something.
• 19:30
  Speaker 19: And.
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: I want to be the guy who's out there convincing
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: people to not have unplanned pregnancies, unwanted pregnancies. What a
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: heartbreaking expression. So this is what I mean when we
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: talk about groups that have agendas. I mean, the Family Foundation,
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: the Eagle Forum, the Birch Society, the Sid Elders, Convention
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: of States. Your freedom to join groups is, you want
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: to be in the Open Society Foundation? You want to
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: join the Southern Poverty Law Center? I have no constitutional
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: place to do anything more than say, take a look
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: at what they do. Take a look at what they
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: stand for and understand that at the end of the day,
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: when your ledger is laid out, you're the only one
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: who's going to be there. A lot of my friends,
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: Democrat voters, they think that doing good community work means
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: voting for a Democrat for Congress or governor or the statehouse.
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry. When you meet St. Peter, he's not going
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: to have your voting record there. If he does, I
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: will eat my hat. Other things we've been into this morning, obviously,
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: the who's in charge in Iran. Mike writes in, listening
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: to us on WGSO in New Orleans. Are we in
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: one of the WGSO windows? I know it's in and out.
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: But hopefully, Mike, you hear me read your text message about,
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: he says, Joe, who cares? They're still shooting things. at
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: the ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Fair cop. The
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: point being is, who are we trying to help get
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: in power? Because in the liberation of the United States
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: from the British occupiers in 1776, they had the guns.
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: They were shooting at people. And did that just give
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: them the authority? That's the thought I want you to
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: have on this. I also complained that now there's a
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: new guy in Britain, I guess does a British radio show,
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: and his name is Joe Thomas. And it's harder and
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: harder for people to find me through Google search. Joe
• 21:47
  Speaker 8: in Crozet says, I can find you on the Internet
• 21:50
  Speaker 8: by looking up, quote, the best looking Joe Thomas, and
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: then you pop up. I'll await the criticism that comes
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: from that next.
• 22:01
  Speaker 20: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
• 22:05

• 22:08
  Speaker 20: at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a
• 22:12
  Speaker 20: week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes does
• 22:15
  Speaker 20: not need to be super intense. As a matter of fact,
• 22:17
  Speaker 20: it could just be you moving your body and doing
• 22:20
  Speaker 20: what you already love to do, like exercise. And a
• 22:22
  Speaker 20: stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right? It means also
• 22:26
  Speaker 20: infusing your workout routines with strength training as well. So
• 22:30
  Speaker 20: we are super excited to be launching our new plate-loaded
• 22:33

  Speaker 1: So with everything that happened, and I'll have more next hour,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: with the ACC, of course, now finishing off the Power Four,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: and they had the resolution, you can't play pro and.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Then expect to be football, basketball, women's basketball. It's just
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: not going to happen.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: However, a Dallas judge signed an order yesterday that prohibits
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: the nc2a the sec and greg sankey from stopping players
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: from going back from the pros to their 41 players
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: involved their three play yeah so we knew we talked
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: about it yesterday so with all that being said i'll
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: have more i'll have more next you know who.
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: You know who's getting paid in all this Who?
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: The lawyers.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, yeah, that's exactly right. Yeah, the guys who
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: really play for pay. Yeah, that's exactly right. The hourly bill.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: So with all that being said, I'm going to talk
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: golf because the.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: End of story is just you're going to love it
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: from a business side. And I know it's probably something
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: you saw, but I don't want it to go unnoticed.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: First of all, Frank Nabilo was doing several interviews talking
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: about the Tour Championship.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Now, the announcement came this week.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: That Brian Rolap, the CEO of the PGA Tour, is saying, hey, look,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: we're going to we're going to change things in a
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: couple of years. We're going to, you know, the top tournament,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: top 32 advance that we're going to do match play
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: for four weeks. We're going to take it all over
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: the country to different golf courses and stuff. So they're
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: doing it to bring up 49. I think the stat
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: was Frank Nabilo said 49 million people are playing golf. But,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: you know, this time of year, we got college football,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: we got baseball, and the dog day's getting ready, you know,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: the playoffs and everything. So, with all that being said,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Nabila said the tour never really got this FedEx thing
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: correct as far as the playoffs, but now he thinks
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: the tour is moving in the right direction.
• 31:06
  Speaker 20: Did they?
• 31:06
  Speaker 26: Ever get it right? 100% no. But we've had hole
• 31:09
  Speaker 26: outs at Eastlake and some crazy things. I just wish
• 31:12
  Speaker 26: that moved around. And I think when we got stuck
• 31:14
  Speaker 26: into this, I applaud BMW. They were the only ones
• 31:17
  Speaker 26: that really moved around. And you get exposed to different
• 31:20
  Speaker 26: courses because I think it allows these cities, these golfing meccas, really,
• 31:23
  Speaker 26: or areas that just love the game. And you start
• 31:26
  Speaker 26: moving a championship around. And I think you just draw
• 31:29
  Speaker 26: on that natural energy of newness.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: So that's what's going to happen, and that's where they're headed.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: And, of course, now they're trying to figure out what's
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: going to happen.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: They're laying off employees, and so that'll be another story.
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: Having money will help.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so with all the athletes and the LSU stuff,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: and just to add nauseam, the biggest story of the
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: week may have come from a company.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Called Good Good Golf.
• 31:53
  Speaker 16: Okay.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Good, good golf was.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: A startup company from a bunch of guys that, you know,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: created golf challenges.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: They, you know, had apparel.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: It was founded in 2020 by three guys, Garrett.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Clark and match.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, names that you would know the headquarters are
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: in Frisco, Texas.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: And so they developed a YouTube channel. And so now,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, so they decided.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: To work very closely on a commercial for Callaway Golf.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: And so Callaway and GoodGood.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Released an advertisement for a new co-branded driver. So there
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: was a commercial where Garrett Clark, who is the founder,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: a commercial. Just picture this because I've got a talk
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: show guy. I put this two together. The talk show
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: guy describes what he sees. I'm going to play just
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: part of the commercial, but you will hear a woman
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: being pushed to the ground.
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: What?
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Okay. That was part of the commercial. So she stands
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: over the golf. I'll describe.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: She stands over a golf bag. She sees this driver.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: She's in golf gear. She wants to play the driver.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: And the owner of Good Good Golf runs over and
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: knocks her to the ground.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, the fallout has been.
• 33:04
  Speaker 19: All right.
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: So here we.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Go.
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: Do not touch my new driver.
• 33:16
  Speaker 27: There's so many questions I have. Like, obviously, sprinting full
• 33:20
  Speaker 27: speed and hip-checking a woman across the turf seems like
• 33:23
  Speaker 27: not a great idea to put in an ad or
• 33:25
  Speaker 27: any time. What was the messaging, though, then, after that?
• 33:28
  Speaker 27: I was like, once I got over the shock of that, but, like,
• 33:30
  Speaker 27: what's the ad for?
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Reaction? Reaction has been Callaway canceled.
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Good Good is done with the PGA Tour. You're not
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: going to be any.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Part of this.
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: You and I have been in more than enough marketing meetings, Mac,
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: where somebody is pitching you an idea. You're a play-by-play
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: guy for UVA, Wake Forest, ACC Network. I'm sure you
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: guys are like, okay, here's what I want you to
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: do for our ad, for our concert. What I want
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: you to do is take a sip of this and
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: then do a spit-take all over your co-host and say,
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: that was awful. You know, I mean, what was the,
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: what was the idea? I agree with the guy. What was,
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: what was the, what were they trying to explain? Like
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: have this club and be an ass.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: The whole violence against women theme. Well, yeah, people reacted.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: So dicks.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: And so everybody had to, you know, it's kind of
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: like the power for leagues. This is the transition, the
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: power for leagues saying, look, you can't go.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Pro and come back.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: So they have all joint forces, uh, golf galaxy, uh,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Dick's Sporting Goods, Big Break, which is, you know, had
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: returned to the Golf Channel, all of that.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: And that got delayed. So all and Callaway announced, that's it.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: We have no more partnerships with Good Good Effective immediately.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: And the Callaway stepped up and said, we're going to
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: make a.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Million dollar donations to support organizations that participate in activism
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: against golf. violence against women and, uh, you know, and
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: then good, good announced it would, you know, it would
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: withdraw its sponsorship.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: They had a championship going on. So here was a
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: group of guys who tried to be creative and thought.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: This would be, you know, something really, really good, but
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: sometimes your excitement in, in, or your exuberance, I guess
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: is the word I'm looking for your exuberance of doing
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: something really good and being kind of cutting edge.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you got to kick back and breathe.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: And that's why I, to even to this day that
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I say, am I just being too old?
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Am I, am I, am I, if I age to.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: The fact that if I don't hear a thank you
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: or you're welcome, or if I don't open the door,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: you know, and especially a young kid who.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: I hold a door for like at a store. And
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: they don't say anything.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: You know, if I if somebody walks in front of
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: me in the grocery store, if I'm staring at like,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: you know, should I get chicken noodle soup or should
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I get creamy tomato?
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: And somebody walks like a young walks right.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: In front of me and doesn't say, excuse me, I'm sorry.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: I'm still old school. You know, I railed against, and
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm getting off on all this,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: just because of the age thing. I railed against a
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: group of kids who decided to grab the handicap scooters
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: at Publix grocery store and have an Olympic race.
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: And I stopped them in the middle of the store.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: And I said, take those back now. Who are you?
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Who are you? I said, I just made it up.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: I'm the manager.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: I said, I'm the manager. I work here. I'm off today.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: You take those back.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: And then the mother came to me and said, why
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: are you yelling at my child?
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: I said, because you're not a parent.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: And I said, because your kids wanted to ride a
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: handicapped cart.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: My mother was handicapped, I told them.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: I said, my mother was handicapped, and if I come
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: to the store and there are no carts.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Available, are you kidding?
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: It's like the guy, the time he parked, he left
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: a grocery cart in the handicapped parking space.
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: Nice.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: These are the same people who.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Block pumps at Wawa, get gas, and then go in
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: and order breakfast.
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: Oh, don't even start me with them.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so anyway.
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: What is the male, is there a male version of
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: the name Karend?
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's Mackie.
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: Kevin or something. I want to talk to your manager.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: The good, good thing, I wanted to make sure I
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: got that, you know, the whole good thing.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: It'll be curious.
• 37:29
  Speaker 8: I know we only have a second here, but it'll
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: be curious to see what happens to their sales. Next?
• 37:37
  Speaker 8: Are they right? Is this the kind of thing that
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: gets them selling?
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Calgary's going to probably have to change the name into
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: a whole thing. They're going to have to breathe. And
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: they're going to have to take a break and then,
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: you know, move on to something else. Enjoy your college

  Speaker 23: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 23: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long

  Speaker 23: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 23: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,

  Speaker 12: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:38
  Speaker 12: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 12: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 12: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 12: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 12: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 12: of an infection that can spread from person to person.

  Speaker 8: Doing well.

  Speaker 2: Happy Friday, my friend.
• 44:39
  Speaker 8: Absolutely, and a beautiful day. Your Liberty Flames playing this
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: weekend in the opening weekend of college football?
• 44:48
  Speaker 19: Liberty Flames don't play in week zero, but they have
• 44:51
  Speaker 19: a huge one next week at James Madison.
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: In a huge group of.
• 44:57
  Speaker 19: Six matchup of teams that have been among the better
• 45:00
  Speaker 19: group of six teams in recent years, and also obviously
• 45:02
  Speaker 19: a critical in-state rival as well.
• 45:04
  Speaker 8: You know, it's interesting, and I know this isn't necessarily
• 45:06
  Speaker 8: our milieu, but you've you Liberty university has done so
• 45:11
  Speaker 8: much towards, uh, you know, changing the direction of a
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: lot of young people in the world. And I know
• 45:17
  Speaker 8: you've done a lot for them, uh, yourself, you're an alum. Um,
• 45:20
  Speaker 8: but you know, even you go back to the sort
• 45:23
  Speaker 8: of the roots of turning point USA and Charlie Kirk. Um,
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: but you know, young people finding, you know, that rooted
• 45:29
  Speaker 8: American constitutional worldview, uh, coming from there. Um, And I
• 45:35
  Speaker 8: can't overstate the importance of appearing on a New Year's
• 45:39
  Speaker 8: Day bowl game or showing up in March Madness because
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: we think that that's trivial until you see enrollment spikes
• 45:49
  Speaker 8: and fundraising spikes and things like that that can come
• 45:52
  Speaker 8: from that. So there is a real benefit to having
• 45:56
  Speaker 8: a football team that plays into December and January.
• 46:01
  Speaker 19: As a friend of mine once said, a university is
• 46:03
  Speaker 19: just an excuse to have a football team. And those
• 46:05
  Speaker 19: of us who love college football, I tongue-in-cheek say that sometimes.
• 46:09
  Speaker 19: But Liberty University has done far more for me than
• 46:12
  Speaker 19: I could ever do for Liberty. Tracy and I met
• 46:14
  Speaker 19: there as students. It represents so much of what we believe,
• 46:19
  Speaker 19: what we stand for, our heritage, if you will, our faith.
• 46:22
  Speaker 19: I was honed there at Liberty University. Our kids went there.
• 46:25
  Speaker 19: As you know, I had the privilege of working there
• 46:27
  Speaker 19: for 15 years in the Athletics Administration. Liberty, to your point,
• 46:31
  Speaker 19: is the largest evangelical Christian school in the world, some 100,000
• 46:37
  Speaker 19: students online, the largest school in the country for military
• 46:43
  Speaker 19: personnel and veterans to attend, has about 16,000 students on
• 46:47
  Speaker 19: campus where they have to really limit enrollment on campus
• 46:50
  Speaker 19: because they have outstanding facilities, but just, you know, you
• 46:53
  Speaker 19: want to grow that in a smart way and and
• 46:55
  Speaker 19: be careful about that and make sure that you're not
• 46:58
  Speaker 19: overcrowding the school, if you will, with the demand. But
• 47:02
  Speaker 19: to your point, the question at hand, yeah, you cannot
• 47:05
  Speaker 19: buy the degree of advertising that comes with a Final
• 47:08
  Speaker 19: Four run at a school like George Mason or a
• 47:12
  Speaker 19: New York Six Bowl like Liberty University. The athletics program
• 47:16
  Speaker 19: is in many ways the front porch or the front
• 47:19
  Speaker 19: window through which people view your house, your home, which
• 47:22
  Speaker 19: is your university. You know, there's a reason why the
• 47:25
  Speaker 19: sports page in the traditional old newspaper sense for guys
• 47:29
  Speaker 19: like us is the first page that so many read,
• 47:31
  Speaker 19: and you don't have a science page or a history
• 47:34
  Speaker 19: page that's read like a sports page is. So it
• 47:36
  Speaker 19: is an important part of a university in terms of
• 47:38
  Speaker 19: marketing and uniting the campus and bringing the alumni back
• 47:41
  Speaker 19: to campus and a common cause.
• 47:44
  Speaker 8: If you will. Well, and I want to tie it in.
• 47:46
  Speaker 8: Of course, I'm here at Common Ground in Fishersville with
• 47:49
  Speaker 8: our friends at City Elders. You were just here a
• 47:51
  Speaker 8: couple of weeks ago speaking publicly. to the group, you know,
• 47:54
  Speaker 8: and maybe it's the offshoot of the wokeness that had
• 47:59
  Speaker 8: gripped this country for so long is that groups of
• 48:02
  Speaker 8: people are standing up and saying, no, no, no, no, no.
• 48:05
  Speaker 8: I have my rooted faith and it comes to you,
• 48:08
  Speaker 8: whether it's a university like Liberty saying we're evangelical Christian
• 48:11
  Speaker 8: here or city elders saying, you know, we're governing the
• 48:15
  Speaker 8: city gates with the morality that was insisted upon when
• 48:19
  Speaker 8: we were founded. I think there's a real reason why
• 48:23
  Speaker 8: these groups are seeing an ascendancy, don't you, Bob?
• 48:27
  Speaker 19: Yes, there are two, as you know, widely disparate visions
• 48:32
  Speaker 19: for the future of our country, which is sort of
• 48:34
  Speaker 19: illustrated or exemplified by or expressed through our politics, if
• 48:40
  Speaker 19: you will, the two very different visions for the country.
• 48:43
  Speaker 19: A little side note, tongue-in-cheek, I did read on a
• 48:46
  Speaker 19: Twitter ex-post a couple of days ago that the Democrat
• 48:49
  Speaker 19: party Party has become the new Communist Party. The Republican
• 48:53
  Speaker 19: Party has become the new Democrat Party. And true conservatives
• 48:56
  Speaker 19: don't have a political home. We're homeless. And I do
• 48:59
  Speaker 19: sort of identify and relate to that to some degree.
• 49:02
  Speaker 19: But it is important for all of us to take
• 49:05
  Speaker 19: ownership and responsibility for our country, for our community, for
• 49:09
  Speaker 19: our future, for what we leave to our children and
• 49:12
  Speaker 19: our grandchildren. And groups like City Elders, to your point,
• 49:15
  Speaker 19: we were together there a couple of weeks ago, where
• 49:17
  Speaker 19: you're broadcasting from today, I guess. But I was also
• 49:20
  Speaker 19: able to speak just yesterday to the Albemarle version, which
• 49:23
  Speaker 19: is not as large as the one in Stewartville, Fishersville,
• 49:28
  Speaker 19: where you're at today.
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: But these are important.
• 49:31
  Speaker 19: These are important for us to take ownership and responsibility
• 49:34
  Speaker 19: for our community, for the things that we believe in,
• 49:36
  Speaker 19: to stand up and be counted. And that's particularly important.
• 49:39
  Speaker 19: in our home state of Virginia with what we're facing.
• 49:41
  Speaker 25: On the ballot in November.
• 49:42
  Speaker 8: Well, and I know my friend John Quisenberry is just,
• 49:45
  Speaker 8: you know, one of the best. And I had no
• 49:47
  Speaker 8: idea until I, you know, he walked into the door
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: at a meeting and I said, you? Because I had
• 49:52
  Speaker 8: always tried to help him with his ministry and his work,
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: you know, bringing young people back into the fold. And
• 49:59
  Speaker 8: then to find him at a city elders meeting, I said,
• 50:02
  Speaker 8: that's just a sauce for the goose, I guess, or
• 50:05
  Speaker 8: to be expected. Bob, how is your campaign to get
• 50:10
  Speaker 8: voter turnout against this constitutional compilation where people will be
• 50:16
  Speaker 8: compelled to do things that they might not believe in?
• 50:21
  Speaker 8: And I'm going to leave it at that because I
• 50:22
  Speaker 8: understand that they're about other things as well. But at
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: the end of the day, as you pointed out so eloquently,
• 50:28
  Speaker 8: these constitutional amendments are about compelling people to do things
• 50:32
  Speaker 8: that they wouldn't do otherwise. How has the campaign been
• 50:36
  Speaker 8: so far?
• 50:38
  Speaker 19: Yes, for those who aren't as aware, and I'll briefly
• 50:40
  Speaker 19: just summarize that, in Virginia on the November 3rd ballot,
• 50:43
  Speaker 19: with early voting starting just in a few weeks on
• 50:45
  Speaker 19: September 18th, particularly the two moral issues that I'm concerned
• 50:49
  Speaker 19: about are the elevation of abortion up to the moment
• 50:52
  Speaker 19: of birth without any restrictions based on the age of
• 50:54
  Speaker 19: the baby in the womb or any restrictions on the
• 50:57
  Speaker 19: age of the mother, a minor child. But these become
• 51:00
  Speaker 19: a constitutional right in Virginia that cannot be, quote, directly
• 51:05
  Speaker 19: or indirectly burdened, restricted, or infringed upon or denied, with
• 51:10
  Speaker 19: consequence of those who are deemed guilty of denying, burdening,
• 51:14
  Speaker 19: or infringing directly or indirectly. And then, of course, marriage
• 51:17
  Speaker 19: being elevated between any two people to a constitutional right
• 51:20
  Speaker 19: that cannot be treated differently or discriminated against and with
• 51:24
  Speaker 19: no religious freedom protection. We're just one voice, one group,
• 51:28
  Speaker 19: Virginia Conservative Action that I'm leading that's trying to elevate
• 51:31
  Speaker 19: the awareness of this, to try to get folks to
• 51:34
  Speaker 19: register to vote, come out and vote, vote no on
• 51:36
  Speaker 19: these amendments, the consequence which will live far beyond any election.
• 51:39
  Speaker 19: And then also even to appeal to maybe... Left-leaning voters
• 51:44
  Speaker 19: or Democrat-leaning voters who don't want these, even if they
• 51:47
  Speaker 19: might vote for the Democrat Party, they might vote for
• 51:49
  Speaker 19: a Democrat candidate, not all of them want abortion on
• 51:52
  Speaker 19: demand without restriction for children, minors, and protection for people.
• 51:57
  Speaker 19: Think about someone who, again, a young girl who gets
• 52:00
  Speaker 19: pregnant without her parents' knowledge through whatever horrific thing that
• 52:05
  Speaker 19: happens to her, and then people are protected with helping
• 52:08
  Speaker 19: talk her into and taking her to get an abortion
• 52:10
  Speaker 19: without the parents' knowledge. Most people don't want that.
• 52:13
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 52:13
  Speaker 19: And so we're trying to build that awareness to vote
• 52:15
  Speaker 19: against that.
• 52:18
  Speaker 8: To me, that's the most important part is people don't
• 52:20
  Speaker 8: realize what it is. As the column I wrote about
• 52:23
  Speaker 8: your sit down with me is it's it's this real
• 52:27
  Speaker 8: bait and switch that they're using, you know, cunning linguists
• 52:30
  Speaker 8: to twist words and to make things seem to be
• 52:33
  Speaker 8: what they're not, which is never, ever a good sign.
• 52:36
  Speaker 8: I think there's some biblical passages about that as well.
• 52:40
