  Speaker 3: joining us on this TEDS D and letting me be
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: of service to you as we all sit and bask
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: in the knowledge that God has gifted us with amazing
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: things that we can contribute to our community. Not everyone
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: as a butcher, a baker, or an electric guitar player,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: but whatever it is God has gifted you to do,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: do it. Do it with all the zeal and passion
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: of somebody who would do it without compensation. And guess what,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: you will be compensated justly by a grateful constituency. There,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Tom Speciale years in the Intel community knows, Joe Kent knows,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: the people, knows the players. We're getting some insight into
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: that he's on hold in the green room for us
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: the resignation of the head of the counter Terrorism Task Force,
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: and we'll get to all that. If you've missed any
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: of our visit, apologies, we'll get it all up online
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: later on this afternoon, so you can download it at
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Joe Thomas in the Morning dot com. But mostly what
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I want you to do when you go to Joe
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Thomas in the Morning dot com is to pick a
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: distribution system, whether it's Apple Podcasts or Spotify, Audible, iHeart,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: even our host site, Spreaker, whatever it might be, Deezer
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: or on all these different distribution hubs for podcasts, so
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: you can have it just sent out to you as
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: soon as it comes out there. All you need is
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: a little push and you can get this stuff. So
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: we've covered a lot of ground. I want to talk
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: about the people of Iran and what I have not
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: seen yet. They're also want to get into the primaries.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: We were talking about our friend Sheriff Page from Rockingham County,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: North Carolina. He's one unseating the head of North Carolina's
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Senate in a primary the Illinois primaries as well. So
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: far we're checking area pubs to make sure there are
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: no ballots stashed in any of the back rooms there
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: like they used to do in the sixties. But so
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: far we have that going on as well. So much
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: to get into this morning. Mac is coming up with
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: his sports notebook. In the opening rounds of the NCAA tournament.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: He's a happy man. The one guy he wanted to
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: see ousted from marchd got it yesterday. So we'll get
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: all that for you and you and me at four three,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: four eight eight two four to two one seven our
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: first things. Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, our friends up
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: at kfar so proud, I'm sure, has reaffirmed her opposition
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: to the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which would require
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: American citizens to prove their American citizens before getting onto
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: a ballot roll. Murkowski said of the bill, I am
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: not prepared to go down this uncertain and ill defined
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: path that we're looking at, specifically talking about forcing a
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: standing filibuster to get the bill onto the floor to
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: get a vote there. But that is enough, she said.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: She along with Mitch McConnell, are opposing this and Tom
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Tillis of the aforementioned North Carolina top Iranian official that
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: many believe was running they since that fateful Saturday when
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: the missiles started landing and one of them took out
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Ayatola Kamini Ali Larijani was killed in a missile strike yesterday,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: confirmed by Iranian officials, by shooting missiles at pretty much
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: anyone within the range of their missiles. Yesterday, Joe Kent,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: the former director of US National Terrorism Center, has announced
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: his resignation, saying he cannot in good conscience back the
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: administration's war in Iran, saying that they posed no imminent
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: threat to our nation. It is clear that we started
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: this war due to pressure from Israel. Iran's judiciary reported
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: an attack on their courts in the Fars province, missile
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: strikes there, killing and wounding civilians and judicial staff. The
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: newspaper Mizan said Trump administration ofials are on the hill
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: to face Congress today, Tulsa gabbert at al, including the
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: war in Iran, the premise for the war in Iran,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: the deadly strike on a school, as well as the
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: FBI's capacity to prevent terror attacks inside the United States.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: One insider commented that it seems coincidental that this happens
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: right after Joe Kent's resignation. Ukrainian President of Voladimir Zelenski
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: said Monday that he's ready to help the United States
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: battle Iran's drones, saying that he has had quite a
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: bit of experience on how to counteract these shah Head drones.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: During Russia's invasions since it's what they use, and the
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Trump administration is going after Florida for details on possible
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: medicaid fraud in that state, along with states like New York, Minnesota, Maine,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: and California. Not entirely unlike mel Brooks in History of
• 6:06

• 13:12
  Speaker 1: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Thomas speciality is with us on the newsmaker's line, talking
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: about the things he knows about Iran, having been in
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: the government, studying Iran for years and years and years.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: And we've talked about the folks who want to be
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: in the government, folks who are currently in the government.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I want to focus then to the future because you
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: have such you know, deep knowledge of the Iranian situation.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: I've asked because we watched tens of thousands of people
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: gunned down in the streets and protests over the collapsing
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: over the past few months before the missile strikes are
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: they still there? I see yeah, I mean now, and
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: then I see a video, soy and hey, Joe, here's
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: somebody who's celebrating what's going on here. I think there
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: may have been some people expecting these folks to say, Hey,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: they killed the Ayah Toola, let's storm the castle and
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: take back our country. And that hasn't happened yet. I
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: think the American people may have a short attention span
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: on this. What is happening with the Iranian people taking
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: back their government. Never mind these folks in Paris and
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: the United States that claim some authority. What do you
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: see and what do you know about the Iranian citizens?
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: And will they come back to the uprising?
• 14:44
  Speaker 19: I think they will absolutely step into the power vacuum
• 14:48
  Speaker 19: once once the US and the Israeli government removes this brutal,
• 14:53
  Speaker 19: bloodthirsty death cult of a regime in Iran. I think
• 14:56
  Speaker 19: they will. They'll have to because ultimately, and this is
• 15:00
  Speaker 19: you know, this would be my advice to the president
• 15:02
  Speaker 19: is keep bombing the i RGC, avoid striking the ARTEESH.
• 15:07
  Speaker 19: The RTESH is the Iranian military. They have compulsory military
• 15:10
  Speaker 19: service in Iran, so you don't want to strike the
• 15:13
  Speaker 19: you don't want to strike the units that are full
• 15:16
  Speaker 19: of conscripts, okay, because they are forced to serve. Many
• 15:19
  Speaker 19: of them do not want to serve the regime, but
• 15:21
  Speaker 19: they are forced to because it's compulsory. So keep bombing
• 15:24
  Speaker 19: the i r GC until the IRGC begs him to
• 15:29
  Speaker 19: stop killing them and destroying them. At that point, once
• 15:34
  Speaker 19: the Iranian regime, you know, people say you can't, you
• 15:36
  Speaker 19: can't do regime change from the air, Well tell that
• 15:40
  Speaker 19: to the Japanese.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: No, yeah, that's a great point. But you know, and
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: we killed the IRGC commander yesterday or the Israelis.
• 15:49
  Speaker 19: That's never that's yeah, that this is the The IRGC
• 15:52
  Speaker 19: are ideologically aligned to the IOTOLA, so they will be
• 15:58
  Speaker 19: they will be very, very very angry about this situation.
• 16:02
  Speaker 19: But only the Iranian people can put them back in
• 16:05
  Speaker 19: the box. Only the Iranian people can do that. And
• 16:08
  Speaker 19: I think that this is and Trump, you know, Trump
• 16:10
  Speaker 19: said it from the very beginning. He said, this is
• 16:14
  Speaker 19: going to be their one chance in a lifetime to
• 16:18
  Speaker 19: re seize their country from this brutal death cult of
• 16:24
  Speaker 19: the Iranian regime. And if they are willing to do that,
• 16:28
  Speaker 19: this is sort of the problems we had with the Kurds.
• 16:30
  Speaker 19: They're not willing to fight for their independence. You can't
• 16:33
  Speaker 19: make them do it. But at the same time, you
• 16:36
  Speaker 19: also cannot continue to tolerate a regime that is threatening
• 16:41
  Speaker 19: global economic oil reserves with you know, every time somebody
• 16:46
  Speaker 19: goes through the Straits of Hormus, they've got to pay
• 16:48
  Speaker 19: insurance against the Iranian regime potentially.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Bombing the oil the oil.
• 16:55
  Speaker 19: So if if what I have said from the very beginning,
• 16:59
  Speaker 19: and I said this, I also said the exact same
• 17:01
  Speaker 19: thing with regard to Iraq, and I said the exact
• 17:04
  Speaker 19: same thing with regard to Libya. This is just an
• 17:07
  Speaker 19: opportunity for them to modernize, to rejoin the Western world.
• 17:15
  Speaker 19: But if they're not going to modernize, we have to
• 17:18
  Speaker 19: prevent them from threatening.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Everyone, you know, the.
• 17:25
  Speaker 19: Correct and they've been doing it all over the Middle
• 17:27
  Speaker 19: East for forty seven years and threatening every one of
• 17:30
  Speaker 19: the world leaders. It's just they are they worshiped that
• 17:35
  Speaker 19: the regime. The regime, the regime, not the Iranian people.
• 17:39
  Speaker 19: Most of the Iranian people are so fed up with
• 17:42
  Speaker 19: the regime. That's why you had thirty to forty thousand
• 17:44
  Speaker 19: of them had to be killed in the streets, and
• 17:47
  Speaker 19: these people are unarmed protesters that are trying to get
• 17:50
  Speaker 19: the regime to modernize and change, and they refuse to
• 17:53
  Speaker 19: do so. And I honestly think that the trigger point
• 17:56
  Speaker 19: for Trump was when the Iranian negotiators for the nuclear
• 18:00
  Speaker 19: negotiations basically said, you know, f Off, We're going to
• 18:03
  Speaker 19: continue to do this until we get a nuclear weapon.
• 18:06
  Speaker 19: And Trump said, well, you know what, We're.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Done talking to you guys.
• 18:09
  Speaker 19: We've tried for forty seven years to be you know,
• 18:11
  Speaker 19: humanitarian about this, and now we're going to use the
• 18:14
  Speaker 19: full force of the US military to remove this regime
• 18:16
  Speaker 19: from the world.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: But Tom, Tom specially, it's Thomas Specially dot com intel
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: expert there. And I appreciate your insight into this, I
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: really do. And I hope twenty twenty six has been okay.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: I know, I know your head is spinning over Abigail Spanburger,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: the governor of Virginia, because you've you've had much more
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: personal interaction with her. Is she has defiled you publicly?
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: And are are you making any headway in that case?
• 18:47
  Speaker 19: The well, the the interesting thing, Joe is is that
• 18:51
  Speaker 19: Abigail Spamberger was deposed in my defamation case in writing
• 18:56
  Speaker 19: because she was too she was too intimidated to face me.
• 18:59
  Speaker 19: You know, she's our governor, but she was too intimidated
• 19:01
  Speaker 19: to face me directly. So she answered her deposition in
• 19:04
  Speaker 19: writing after being compelled by the judge to provide the deposition.
• 19:10
  Speaker 19: Then days after she was compelled to provide the deposition,
• 19:14
  Speaker 19: they hired Don Scott, the speaker of the Virginia House.
• 19:17
  Speaker 19: It's so good, And there's a special there's a special
• 19:20
  Speaker 19: law that allows that if your lawyer happens to be
• 19:23
  Speaker 19: serving in the state House, that you get basically all
• 19:27
  Speaker 19: of their cases get put on hold until they're out
• 19:31
  Speaker 19: of session.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: And they're never of session because they have no budget,
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: so they're going to be in special session. Oh this
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: is this is so good, such state craft.
• 19:41
  Speaker 19: Yeah, and so what what I would argue is this
• 19:44
  Speaker 19: that first of all, they tried to get her deposition
• 19:46
  Speaker 19: sealed after she has said, she has said and sworn
• 19:50
  Speaker 19: affidavit that she didn't know anything about the article that.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: They defamed me.
• 19:55
  Speaker 19: That's what she said in Affidavid when she was when
• 19:58
  Speaker 19: she was forced to be deposed, they to get her
• 20:00
  Speaker 19: written deposition under seal. Why would you put your deposition
• 20:04
  Speaker 19: under seal if you didn't know anything about the article,
• 20:09
  Speaker 19: and then after being forced to give the deposition, then
• 20:14
  Speaker 19: in writing because she was too scared. But for some reason,
• 20:16
  Speaker 19: she's supposedly like this great CIA case officer, spy woman
• 20:20
  Speaker 19: like James Bond, and she's too scared to sit down
• 20:23
  Speaker 19: with the pro say attorney Tom specially of course they
• 20:25
  Speaker 19: found out real quickly that I was a professional interrogator,
• 20:28
  Speaker 19: and they weren't.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: They didn't know who they were messling with.
• 20:31
  Speaker 19: But then but then hiring Don Scott to avoid the
• 20:35
  Speaker 19: deposition coming out in the lead up to the governor's race,
• 20:39
  Speaker 19: I suspect, I suspect that her deposition when it comes out,
• 20:43
  Speaker 19: is going to be damning.
• 20:45
  Speaker 21: Let's just put it that way. I am happy to wait.
• 20:50
  Speaker 21: They've already defamed me. And you wouldn't go to these extents.
• 20:55
  Speaker 21: You wouldn't go to this extent.
• 20:58
  Speaker 19: Abigail wouldn't be going to this extent if they weren't very,
• 21:01
  Speaker 19: very concerned about the outcome of this case.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: And by the way, you were defamed by being alleged
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: to have been part of the Capital riots. And now
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: I find it interesting this cold well, not.
• 21:12
  Speaker 19: That Joe, not that they said that I was involved
• 21:15
  Speaker 19: in beating and bloodying law enforcement on January.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, but you know the blanket, you know, and
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: now this cold kid wants exoneration under the blanket amnesty
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: the President gave. So maybe that can attach to you
• 21:29

  Speaker 22: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
• 23:14
  Speaker 22: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:16
  Speaker 22: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
• 23:20
  Speaker 22: That's what you should use, But there are exceptions to
• 23:23
  Speaker 22: the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
• 23:26
  Speaker 22: premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
• 23:29
  Speaker 22: is not just due to the octane rating. There are
• 23:31
  Speaker 22: better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too.
• 23:35
  Speaker 22: The Vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
• 23:38
  Speaker 22: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
• 23:41
  Speaker 22: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
• 23:44
  Speaker 22: your fuel choices around say every third tank full, you
• 23:47
  Speaker 22: may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
• 23:50
  Speaker 22: are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.

  Speaker 27: Wade publicly, all right to the writers.
• 29:45
  Speaker 28: Okay, disappointing into a pretty disappointing season for us. Well,
• 29:49
  Speaker 28: I look at it, and we hadn't been very good
• 29:51
  Speaker 28: in close games. We hadn't earned the right to win
• 29:53
  Speaker 28: close games. And our season ended very similarly to the
• 29:56
  Speaker 28: reason we're sitting in Dayton. You know, you are who
• 29:59
  Speaker 28: you are in pressure moments, and we tried to mask
• 30:01
  Speaker 28: some stuff and we couldn't do it. And so that's
• 30:04
  Speaker 28: why we're here, and that's why we're heading home.

  Speaker 27: Pete Gillen, a lot of people you win. Coaching and
• 30:16
  Speaker 27: going over late game situations is just very very critical.
• 30:20
  Speaker 12: If you're losing all these games, well, don't.
• 30:22
  Speaker 27: Look at your bench, don't look at your players, look
• 30:24
  Speaker 27: at what you're doing on the whiteboard, you know on
• 30:26
  Speaker 27: Monday and Tuesday. Okay, just take a look at But
• 30:29
  Speaker 27: here's here's the comment that blew me away.
• 30:31
  Speaker 12: This winning. All right, you're ready for this?
• 30:33
  Speaker 27: Okay, So in the hallway then after his post game,
• 30:37
  Speaker 27: this is what he tells a reporter.
• 30:39
  Speaker 12: I've been working on this perfect last six weeks.
• 30:41
  Speaker 28: We had a good plan and what we're gonna do
• 30:43
  Speaker 28: with the.
• 30:44
  Speaker 19: Type people who're going to target at each position, and
• 30:47
  Speaker 19: we're gonna go find some guys fit our profiles.
• 30:51
  Speaker 27: Six weeks, you've been working on the six weeks you
• 30:54
  Speaker 27: were hired last summer. You know you said he had
• 30:57
  Speaker 27: a comment during the year that he won. I wanted
• 31:00
  Speaker 27: to go through a year of ACC first to see
• 31:03
  Speaker 27: what level the player are. You really you need a
• 31:07
  Speaker 27: whole year of just I mean, all right, you won
• 31:09
  Speaker 27: twenty games. You want a couple of good games, so
• 31:12
  Speaker 27: on and so forth. You end up in the first four.
• 31:13
  Speaker 27: You can put NC Double A on your resume or whatever.
• 31:17
  Speaker 27: But if you're just now looking at the portal and
• 31:20
  Speaker 27: this and that over the last six weeks, how long
• 31:22
  Speaker 27: do you think Ryan Odam, just as a comparison, how
• 31:25
  Speaker 27: long do you think Ryan Odam went to work Immediately,
• 31:28
  Speaker 27: he went to work and built He had to totally
• 31:30
  Speaker 27: rebuild a roster, and they scoured the world and put
• 31:34
  Speaker 27: together a team that now he's the three seed in
• 31:36
  Speaker 27: the NC Double A tournament. Hey will it takes a
• 31:38
  Speaker 27: little more than six weeks, That's all I'm saying. Okay,
• 31:41
  Speaker 27: So with that, with that, and then Texas, So Texas
• 31:45
  Speaker 27: is on the way. It'll be ut and Bau Thursday
• 31:47
  Speaker 27: in the West Regional. But this weekend on Foster and Friends,
• 31:51
  Speaker 27: Bud and I tell some NC Double A stories. Okay,
• 31:54
  Speaker 27: it's tournament time and so we and one of the
• 31:56
  Speaker 27: great ones is about Kenny Blakeney. Now I'm at Kenny
• 32:00
  Speaker 27: way back. He won two NCAA championships with Mike Kizhevski
• 32:04
  Speaker 27: and Duke one in ninety two.
• 32:07
  Speaker 12: And then, you know, after.
• 32:10
  Speaker 27: Tommy Emicker was in Howard Well, Kerry Davis as the
• 32:13
  Speaker 27: a D Kerry Davis hired Kenny Blakeney. They went through
• 32:18
  Speaker 27: the COVID year, only had one win. But now all
• 32:20
  Speaker 27: of a sudden, Howard is a force in the miac Okay,
• 32:24
  Speaker 27: they advanced to the NCAA tournament bracket, holding on against
• 32:28
  Speaker 27: UNBC eighty six eighty three. It's only part of the story.
• 32:31
  Speaker 27: So now the Bison get Michigan as a reward, you.
• 32:34
  Speaker 12: Know, and it's gonna be.
• 32:35
  Speaker 27: But anyway, it was Kenny Blakeney who learned right away
• 32:39
  Speaker 27: and especially the you know, the DC area school, the
• 32:43
  Speaker 27: HBCU school, learning about culture. And the great thing about
• 32:48
  Speaker 27: Kenny Blakeney is he has got idea.
• 32:50
  Speaker 12: He wakes up.
• 32:50
  Speaker 27: Every morning, he tells the story. He wakes up every
• 32:53
  Speaker 27: morning with ideas. And now, like some of the folks
• 32:56
  Speaker 27: talking about, well, I'm gonna sell our basketball franchise to somebody,
• 33:01
  Speaker 27: you know, the Papa John's Howard advis and whatever it
• 33:03
  Speaker 27: might be. Now, Kenny Blakeney understanding the Howard culture.
• 33:08
  Speaker 29: I didn't understand how to build culture. I understood how
• 33:11
  Speaker 29: to follow culture. And there's a huge difference. I had
• 33:15
  Speaker 29: to learn how to build a culture and that took
• 33:19
  Speaker 29: some time. And you know, he was nurturing, he was loving,
• 33:24
  Speaker 29: he was tough when he needed to be. But he
• 33:27
  Speaker 29: was right by my side as a partner.
• 33:30
  Speaker 27: That's when an ad and a coach, when they're on
• 33:32
  Speaker 27: the same page, all is right with the college sports world.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: I don't care, you.
• 33:37
  Speaker 27: Know, if you're playing Tindley Wings or squads like UVA
• 33:41
  Speaker 27: is you know, from a club standpoint. So the operation,
• 33:44
  Speaker 27: the last little bit, the operational budget for Howard is
• 33:48
  Speaker 27: one point five to two million dollars.
• 33:50
  Speaker 12: A year somewhere in that neighborhood.
• 33:52
  Speaker 27: The Power fives spend seven to ten and sometimes some
• 33:55
  Speaker 27: of the bigger programs spend thirty million in there.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: In basketball, the name image likeness money for one center.
• 34:03
  Speaker 27: You know, yeah, yes, anyway, if you enjoyed it, if
• 34:07
  Speaker 27: you're a baseball fan, we'd like to we'd like to
• 34:10
  Speaker 27: thank the United States for participating. I'll give you some
• 34:13
  Speaker 27: of these numbers next hour. But you talk about through
• 34:16
  Speaker 27: seven innings last night, the Americans were just nine and
• 34:20
  Speaker 27: fifty six with twenty one strikeouts. Over two games, they
• 34:23
  Speaker 27: were scoreless and seventeen of eighteen innings. Okay, you got
• 34:29
  Speaker 27: the best players in the world. I don't care anyway, Harper,
• 34:33
  Speaker 27: I'm so glad to hear it. I heard it on
• 34:34
  Speaker 27: radio last night. Driving home from the airport. I had
• 34:36
  Speaker 27: to pick up my wife and bright, you know, Bryce
• 34:39
  Speaker 27: Harper finally did something. He was five for twenty seven
• 34:42
  Speaker 27: of eight strikeouts, the two home run dinger with two
• 34:46
  Speaker 27: outs and then but the US did not place a
• 34:49
  Speaker 27: runner in scoring position all.
• 34:50
  Speaker 12: Night except for the brace Harper home run. Pitching in
• 34:53
  Speaker 12: defense wins.
• 34:54
  Speaker 27: And by the way, Venezuela now will get about one
• 34:57
  Speaker 27: hundred thousand K for each player. And the WBC, now
• 35:02
  Speaker 27: there's talk about where do we play it.
• 35:04
  Speaker 12: Do we play at mid season? When do guys?
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 35:06
  Speaker 12: Now, there's a lot of discussion about where the next.
• 35:09
  Speaker 27: I think it's on a four year cycle now, and
• 35:11
  Speaker 27: I think the next WBC is going to be in
• 35:13
  Speaker 27: twenty thirty so we don't.
• 35:15
  Speaker 12: Have which is really.
• 35:18
  Speaker 17: The rider.
• 35:19
  Speaker 12: It should be every other year. I mean, four years
• 35:22
  Speaker 12: is a long time to wait.
• 35:23
  Speaker 27: And Bryce Harper is still hoping that the major leaguers
• 35:26
  Speaker 27: can play in the Olympics.
• 35:27
  Speaker 12: I mean he told the me, he goes, look, I.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Want to you know, I want to be real quick Olympics,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: you know, real quick for you know who's the super
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: agent that basically told Washington d C. Yeah, I'm never
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: signing any of my players with you. Is it Nutsorrows?
• 35:42
  Speaker 29: Oh?
• 35:42
  Speaker 12: Yeah, no, okay, of course, excuse me.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: The big baseball did the guy Jerry maguire work for whatever,
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: you know when he when he said that and took
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Bryce Harper onto the market, and I just announced it.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: I said, listen, I hope. And it's a horse race
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: to see which great player of this era is never
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: going to never gonna sniffle World Series Mike Trout or
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: Bryce Harper. And it couldn't happen two nicer guys. Uh,
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: you know Trout, I guess I hear Trout is a
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: good guy. Uh, but you know, the Angels have just
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: been like, oh, we'll just build a team around Mike.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: The Phillies are now I'm reading the Philly Press. They're
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: ready to trade Bryce Harper.
• 36:23
  Speaker 25: Uh.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Somebody suggested they trade them back to the Nationals because
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: they need a first baseman. Wouldn't that be nice? But
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: you know, I said, this is crazy, and you know,
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: and that's the kind of thing about these small town teams.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: And I hate people who say DC's know a small
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: time it is. It's it's like it's like a small
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: southern town surrounded by the US government. It's it's not
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: a big city. But you know, these these guys who
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: do you know who just jump for the money. It's
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: just come on, good luck with it. You know, have
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: a nice day. You know, James Wood and Dylan Cruz
• 36:59

  Speaker 1: his first thing Today by Joe Thomas on the talk
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: media network The Doctor rod It.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: I regularly scheduled a segment we love to call Caring
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: Beyond Cancer because so much is known about obviously the
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: nursing and the medical professionals that help somebody throw a
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: cancer diagnosis, and certainly right from the headlines. I feel
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: for Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff. I worked.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: I didn't miss eight months of chemotherapy, didn't miss a
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: single radio program, and I have to get up at
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: two thirty in the morning, so I had to make
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: sure that I wasn't having the morning sickness and everything
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: else in My wife created an amazing diet that kept
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: me perpendicular through it all. But I know what it
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: means to a family when this happened. So our special
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: guests here to talk about the work they do at
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: Camp Kessem is about the kids. Now, my kids were
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: a little bit older, my son it was twelve years ago,
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: but my daughter was in middle school. My son was
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: in high school when this happened. And I'm not super dad,
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: I'm not the Great Santinia or anything, but you could
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: see in their eyes there was a little bit of
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: what do you mean, Dad's sick? Dad can't be sick,
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: Dad's never sick. And I hope that my journey through
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: cancer redefined in their mind what sick meant, because I
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: know that sometimes people apply that word and it can
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: be daunting to a child of a parent that's going
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: through cancer treatment. And that's why the folks have put
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: together the camp for those kids to have some normalcy,
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: some release. Sarah Brennan is on with us. Sarah, thank
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: you for everything you do. Thank you for doing this
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: and thinking of the kids of parents who are going
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: through cancer treatment. How are you doing this morning?
• 46:18
  Speaker 31: I'm great.
• 46:18
  Speaker 18: Thank you so much for having me.
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: Am I wrong about that kind of that. It's not
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: a ten mile stare like a military veteran might get,
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: but that moment of dad's sick, Wait, mom's sick. We're
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: counting on mom. You know that moment where twelve or
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: thirteen or twenty even a twenty year old can be
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: like that pulls the rug out of you, out from
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: under you a little bit.
• 46:43
  Speaker 31: Oh absolutely, and we see that in our campers all
• 46:45
  Speaker 31: the time. That's why we're here. We serve kids six
• 46:49
  Speaker 31: through eighteen, so really see that all across the spectrum.
• 46:52
  Speaker 31: And we see I mean, we see that as the
• 46:53
  Speaker 31: kids as young as six who can't even quite conceptualize
• 46:56
  Speaker 31: what cancer means, all the way through kids that are
• 46:59
  Speaker 31: eighteen and taking care of their parents and working for
• 47:01
  Speaker 31: everything and their siblings, and so it's having a place
• 47:06
  Speaker 31: for them to really be kids again is super super
• 47:08
  Speaker 31: important wherever their parent is in a cancer diagnosis, treatment, remission,
• 47:14
  Speaker 31: or kind of whatever that looks like for them.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Kessim dot org, I don't want to bury the lead
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: if you want to find out more about this kind
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: of program. When did you get the idea to start
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: this to to help kids deal with trying to have
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: some normalcy while their family might be going through some
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: fairly abnormal stuff.
• 47:36
  Speaker 20: Absolutely.
• 47:37
  Speaker 31: So, we are actually a chapter of a national nonprofit.
• 47:39
  Speaker 31: We are run entirely through UVA through student volunteers. So
• 47:43
  Speaker 31: I'm a fourth year at UVA. I've been involved in
• 47:45
  Speaker 31: KESSIM for four years. We undergo super vigorous training leadership
• 47:49
  Speaker 31: from our national organization. We have over one hundred chapters
• 47:52
  Speaker 31: throughout the country and the VA chapter was actually established
• 47:55
  Speaker 31: over twenty years ago, so we've served over a thousand
• 47:58
  Speaker 31: campers in our time here.
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: Well, I see you all through the footprint of this
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: program up there, and I think that's northern Georgia all
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: the way through Tennessee and all the places you can
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: get us Lexington, Kentucky, there, Long Island, Nevada. It looks
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: like Reno there, Sacramento, so you know, great opportunities, Utah,
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: Salt Lake City, Colorado, and Fort Collins and it looks
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: like Colorado Springs both homes to this program. So I
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: appreciate what you're doing for these kids in forty one
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: different states, ten thousand plus children served. What are the
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: qualifications for a kid to get into Camp Kessum and
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: when does is it like any other camp? You know,
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: starting soon enroll now summer you know, collect camp begins
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: that kind of thing.
• 48:50
  Speaker 31: Yeah, So we in Roment has open now. We still
• 48:52
  Speaker 31: have spots available. There's spots available throughout the country. There's
• 48:55
  Speaker 31: multiple chapters in Virginia that work on different dates. Our
• 48:59
  Speaker 31: camp will be happening August third through eighth at Crossroads
• 49:01
  Speaker 31: Campground in Lowsville, Virginia, and we do still have some
• 49:04
  Speaker 31: spots open. Kids are qualified through having a parent or
• 49:07
  Speaker 31: guardian with cancer. That can be a previous diagnosis, a
• 49:10
  Speaker 31: current diagnosis, a past diagnosis, and whatever the end result
• 49:14
  Speaker 31: of that treatment is. It doesn't We have some campers
• 49:17
  Speaker 31: who their parents had cancer when they were super little
• 49:20
  Speaker 31: and they barely remember it, but it still impacts their
• 49:22
  Speaker 31: daily lives. And then we have some campers whose parents
• 49:25
  Speaker 31: are still undergoing treatment, so it really runs the whole spectrum.
• 49:29
  Speaker 31: And registration is completely free. Camp is completely free for
• 49:33
  Speaker 31: all of our campers, so we just ask for registration
• 49:36
  Speaker 31: and then we'll take care of the rest.
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: Are all the Keessum chapters associated with universities. It looks
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: that way. I was just looking VCU just here in
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: Virginia and James Madison College of William and Mary. Is
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: that part of the process is to find great folks
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: like yourself fourth year here at UVA to help these
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: kids through. Is that the the planet KESSM.
• 50:02
  Speaker 31: Yes, that is the whole concept. It was founded out
• 50:04
  Speaker 31: of Stanford University as a way to empower student leaders
• 50:09
  Speaker 31: and looking at people who really wanted to make a
• 50:11
  Speaker 31: difference in their communities. So it's awesome because we have
• 50:13
  Speaker 31: our kids as soon as they qualify for camp, they
• 50:15
  Speaker 31: always qualify for camp. So we've had campers who have
• 50:18
  Speaker 31: been at our Camp Cassum chapter for more than ten years,
• 50:20
  Speaker 31: who they've seen counselors come and go, and they are
• 50:23
  Speaker 31: really the continuity for it. But yes, every chapter is
• 50:26
  Speaker 31: run through a university, and we've got new ones that
• 50:28
  Speaker 31: are one or two years old, and then you've got
• 50:30
  Speaker 31: chapters like us that have been here for over twenty years.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: So what does a counsel or get out of this?
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: If you're hearing this and thinking, hey, I could you
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: know or my kid or my grandkid could do this?
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: What did you How did you grow out of working
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: with these kids?
• 50:48
  Speaker 31: I have absolutely I've always said that Camp was the
• 50:51
  Speaker 31: most impactful thing I've done at my time at EVA.
• 50:53
  Speaker 31: I have met the most incredible kids and just gotten
• 50:56
  Speaker 31: a much larger perspective on life and even what it
• 50:59
  Speaker 31: means to be a kid. For so many of my kids,
• 51:01
  Speaker 31: I especially worked the first couple of years with some
• 51:04
  Speaker 31: of our teenage girls and seeing so much of the
• 51:07
  Speaker 31: burden and the load that they carried, but also how
• 51:09
  Speaker 31: they still wanted just to be kids, and so seeing
• 51:13
  Speaker 31: how valuing all of those moments and how the value
• 51:17
  Speaker 31: of play and being able just to be a kid.
• 51:19
  Speaker 31: We do cancer specific programming and allowing kids the opportunity
• 51:22
  Speaker 31: to share if they choose a camp, but so much
• 51:24
  Speaker 31: of we do is so much of what we do
• 51:26
  Speaker 31: is simply high quality programming and working on games and
• 51:31
  Speaker 31: fun and teamwork and arts and crafts and everything in between,
• 51:34
  Speaker 31: and so allowing kids that opportunity to do both.
• 51:37
  Speaker 23: And hopefully what we get from.
• 51:38
  Speaker 31: Most of our kids is they tell us they go
• 51:40
  Speaker 31: to other camps throughout the summer, but this is their
• 51:42
  Speaker 31: best week of the summer because they are really allowed
• 51:45
  Speaker 31: to feel seen and heard with people. They don't even
• 51:48
  Speaker 31: need to talk about it, but they know that everyone
• 51:50
  Speaker 31: there just gets it well.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: And that's the thing. I mean, never underestimate the power
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: of some paper mache or a lanyard there, but you
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: go climb a rock is so important for kid because
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: they do and they take burdens on that their parents
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: didn't even expect them to do because they want to help,
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: and I think having a camp like Kessum available is
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: so important. It's so great to meet you, Sarah. Thank
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: you for joining us and all the folks who do
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: it here in Virginia and everywhere across the country. Thank you.
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: So is there a window for people to sign up?
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: Generally before March is done or April?
• 52:31
  Speaker 31: Registration is open all the way through camp even if
• 52:34
  Speaker 31: registration closes. For our camp, we have a wait list
• 52:36
  Speaker 31: that can sometimes move quickly just based on we have
• 52:38
  Speaker 31: a ton of counselors that are ready to come to
• 52:40
  Speaker 31: camp if we have more campers. So registration can happen.
• 52:44
  Speaker 31: Just at kessom dot org. There's a page specifically for
• 52:46
  Speaker 31: Virginia chapters. You can see which dates were best for you.
• 52:51
  Speaker 32: You know, it's true, difficult times have a way of
• 52:54
  Speaker 32: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
• 52:57
  Speaker 32: when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is
• 52:59
  Speaker 32: why so many people are joining meta share right now.
• 53:03
  Speaker 32: Metashare is a trusted way to save up to fifty
• 53:06
  Speaker 32: percent on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred
• 53:09
  Speaker 32: thousand people have already made the switch. It's pretty obvious
• 53:12
  Speaker 32: why too, especially now during this challenging season with health
• 53:16
  Speaker 32: care costs and out of pocket expenses going up. Metas
• 53:19
  Speaker 32: Share can save you a lot of money. The typical
• 53:22
  Speaker 32: family saves five hundred dollars a month. Meda Share works too.
• 53:26
  Speaker 32: It's been around for thirty years. Members have shared more
• 53:28
  Speaker 32: than five billion dollars of each other's bills. There are
• 53:31
