• 0:02
  Speaker 1: On a need to know basis, because you need to
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: know the first thing today your.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Ward said, steal me stem you have a day at
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: least for work when the son comes up, drops a
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: pet to school. Joey has everything a jam do all
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: the treasure.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Seven needs no wonder.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: Joe's allies smile.
• 0:25
  Speaker 5: He on the eggs, let her be.
• 0:30
  Speaker 6: Joe, thank you for letting us be of service to
• 0:32
  Speaker 6: you this morning.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I want to be just.
• 0:36
  Speaker 6: Calling it out for what it is. We will tell
• 0:38
  Speaker 6: you what went on yesterday. Jennifer Harrison from the Victims'
• 0:44
  Speaker 6: Rights Reform Council going to be coming up with us
• 0:47
  Speaker 6: in a little while to talk about yesterday's hearing. Steve Descano, uh,
• 0:54
  Speaker 6: Jason Mires, Jim Jordan, all these folks looking into how
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: these progressive prosecutors across the country are coordinated in their
• 1:03
  Speaker 6: efforts of ignoring the rule of law. And it's a subtext.
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: And here we are on law enforcement pardon me, Peace
• 1:13
  Speaker 6: Officer Memorial Day and this email I think sums up
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: the issue at hand. It's not a bad one. Maria
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: writes into JT in the Morning Radio at gmail dot com.
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: She says, how can you conservatives continue to go on
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: about these issues. Don't you all believe that we have
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: God given rights? I do. This was why I used
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: to be a conservative once Trump got in there and
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: I realized it was just a money making schemes. Maria
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: has been watching MS NOW a lot, hasn't she, and
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: that you don't really stand up for the principles of
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: what our constitution stands for. People need to have their
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: rights defended, and prosecutors like Steve Descano are out there
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: defending their God given right to life, liberty, and the
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: pursuit of happiness. I appreciate Maria's email because it paints
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: the perfect picture of how their narrative is being told.
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: But Maria, the question I asked, and I continue to ask,
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: is if all of these things that these lawless prosecutors
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: won't prosecute, if they're so bad, so unjust, why are
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: they still on the law books. When Martin Luther King
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: Junior protested to Jim Rows, they got the Jim Crow
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: laws taken off the books. That's how it works, is
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: you find bad laws and you have them taken off
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: the books. But they won't do that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: Anyway.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: We got to we'll get into this further, Like I
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: said Jennifer coming up in a little while from the
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: Victims' Rights a Victims Rights Reform Council on this. But
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: let me give you the first things. President Trump on
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: his way back from China, saying, very successful meeting, including
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: for Boeing, who sold two hundred airplanes while they were there.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: They had a three hour lunch before. President Trump laughed,
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: telling reporters as he got on Air Force when it's
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: been a really great couple of days. He said, China
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: wants to help negotiate the end of the war between
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: Iran and the rest of the world and get the
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: Strait of Hormuz reopened. He also said that China promises
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: not to share any military equipment with Iran. Meanwhile, the
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: Strait of Hormuz remains contentious, as a ship anchored off
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: the United Arab Emirates coast was seized and taken to Iran,
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: and another cargo ship near Oman was sunk after being attacked.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: Supreme Court Thursday preserved access to a drug used in
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: mail order abortion MEFA pristone. Court order allows women seeking
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: abortions by mail to get the MEFA pristone at pharmacies
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: or through the mail while the case is being heard
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: by the Supreme Court and then they will issue a ruling.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: Head of the US Border Patrol announced his resignation yesterday.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: It's just time, Michael Banks and I feel like we've
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: gotten the ship back on course and it's time to
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: enjoy the family and life. US stock market rose to
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: records Thursday after Cisco announced larger profits than had been
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: expected for twenty twenty six s and P five hundred
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: climbed eight tenths of a percent to set another all
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: time high. Lawyers for Elon Musk and open Ai made
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: their final arguments Thursday in a trial over whether Sam
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: Altman broke agreement with Musk to start open Ai as
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: a nonprofit and then took it into the private market.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: And Honda racked up its first laws ever two point
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: seven billion dollars Thursday for the Japanese automaker, driven by
• 5:56

• 10:08
  Speaker 13: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 13: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 13: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 13: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
• 10:24
  Speaker 13: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 13: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 13: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,

  Speaker 1: Amaze your friends here in First Thing Today by Joe Thomas.
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: Rights.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: So Maria wrote into JT in the Morning Radio at
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: gmail dot com, and it's the it's the s o P.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: Don't you all, all you conservatives believe that all men
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: are created equal and endowed by your creator with unalienable rights.
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: We do. However, rights do not exist in a vacuum.
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: Those are called liberties. Liberties rights without responsibility are liberties.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: I'm taking liberty. I have no responsibility to you. I
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: just want your stuff. I'm going to take it in
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: my criminal justice system. In my head, you having things
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: that I don't have is sufficient for me to just
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: take them from you. And this becomes the question of,
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: you know, where a free society has to operate, that
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: friction between freedom to do as you see fit and
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: someone else's And I remember I was probably twelve or
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: thirteen when it was first explained to me that my
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: right to do as I see fit only goes as
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: far if it gets in the way of somebody else's
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: right to do as they see fit. If I feel
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: like I should have a bicycle to ride home on,
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: I can't take someone else's because that's their ride home.
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: So that's the magic formula in there. And in order
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: to manage that, you have laws that, for the most part,
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: in a free country, are about how you punish somebody
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: after they do a crime. And one of the little
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: abstracts about American life is, I would really like sunset laws.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: No law can be written, no law can be enacted
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: without a sunset provision. This law will only be in
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: effect because you have criminal code that was written in
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: the eighteenth century still on the books in the United
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: States because nobody ever took them off. So you could
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: make the case we can go back and and some
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: of it obviously would be essential, but we pile new
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: law on top of old law, creating these eddies and
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: currents and these crevices in between them, which are commonly
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: referred to as loopholes. So you'll see a giant volume
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: of law text dropped onto a pile of other law
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: texts and you think, wow, things must be pretty well
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: controlled here if we have all these laws, and it's
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: just the opposite. The more laws you write, the more
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: anarchy you have, because the more you create fox legalities,
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: paper legalities, paper rights, rights to housing. Right, you've heard
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: these things. People should have a right to health care. Okay,
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: read John Locke. John Locke is the philosopher that really
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: is the son source of this part of the Enlightenment,
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: the idea that a country can be governed by its citizens,
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: not by a sovereign. And one of Locke's treaties is
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: that if it requires someone else to perform a service
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: for you, it cannot be considered a right. He wrote
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: this long before Martin Luther King, or the Underground Railroad
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: or Jefferson. Jefferson knew this. You can't have a right
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: to own slaves if those slaves are people, and that
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: became the issue, much like abortion is the issue. When
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: does the baby become a person? When did the black
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: person become a person? It's what the argument was. Don't
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: look at me in agast, stricken by our commentary. I
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: just say the quiet part out loud, because at some
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: point our problems in this country have become driven by
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: the fact that we don't say the quiet part out loud.
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: We're all couching our opinions or our positions on things
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: based on what it may cost us or gain us,
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: depending on what it is we want to do. Discano
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: is the same way. Steve Discano, the Fairfax Commonwealth's Attorney
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: is what we call them here in Virginia. Most places
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: in America call them das our ducks. Ass I mean
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: d Discano from Fairfax.
• 18:50
  Speaker 20: You know, I was inspired by West Points credo of
• 18:53
  Speaker 20: providing a lifetime of selfless service to the nation.
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: And by selfless he means for himself. So it was
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: great to get elected. Keep in mind, Steve Descano ousted
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: a Democrat. He didn't beat a Republican for the office
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: of Commonwealth's Attorney. He beat another Democrat who had been
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: there forever. And Fairfax was considered the best of the
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: DC suburbs because the law enforcement community enforced the laws
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: even though they were Democrats. And this is going back
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: to something we discussed in the first hour. Where are
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: and what kind of frightening power to the Democratic Party
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: apparatus hold over these people? So desperate are they to
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: hold on to their precious office that they don't realize
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: the honesty of just hey, if you don't think something's
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: a good law change, it was what Martin Luther King
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: was pushing for. But Descano, see, he just liked being
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: the guy.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: It was cool. He was one of George Soros' favorites,
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: right after Tim Kane. Tim Kane was the very first
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: person the Soros family ever backed for an elected office.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: By the way, if you didn't know that this close
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: to being president, he's been in their pocket forever. Alex thinks.
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: It's like, I think Tim Kaine is Alex Soros's godfather
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: or something real tight. But Descano was one of their
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: young guns, their young turks, and it was great for
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: Discano until the scrutiny came. And now he's whining about
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: being dragged into the scrutiny, into the limelight. And I'm
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: proud of what we have accomplished.
• 20:59
  Speaker 20: Fair fact he is one of the safest large communities
• 21:01
  Speaker 20: anywhere in the country. The public safety of Fairfax County
• 21:05
  Speaker 20: motivates all my work. Our office has successfully prosecuted thousands
• 21:10
  Speaker 20: of cases.
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: And ignored hundreds others. That's the thing is, he's pointing
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: to statistics rather than actually dealing in what's happening, which is,
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: I've put away hundreds of violent felons, okay, except for
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: the ones who you didn't put away because their immigration
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: status was murky. And he's offended that people are dragging him.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: Before Congress, he got heated with Jim Jordan over it. Well,
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: you know what, it was fun until somebody started questioning it,
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: until girls started getting hurt. Because the people you've allowed
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: into your community don't understand their rights or don't respect
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: their rights. So that's the thing about law enforcement and
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: why peace officers are so important.

  Speaker 6: there ready to deliver us news while I take care
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: of other things. Good morning, Mac. How are you doing
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: this morning? Sir?
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: Hey doing good? Joe, Good to see you. I'm on
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: this Friday. OK. You're having a good everything going, you know, coos.
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: All of a sudden, you know, everything when Catty Wampa
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: is back at our flagship station. So I was doing
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: that and all of a sudden, it's the red light
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: came on, and you know, like Ozzie Oscos, it's time
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: to begin.
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: All right, I got you, I got you covered, because
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: I got a lot of stuff to cover here. Well,
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: the spring meetings are always a good time to look
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: at what you know, what commissioners are thinking and whatever.
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: And of course the big discussion now, and I'll refer
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: to the ACC and the SEC. But the ACC is
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: all in with college football expansion to twenty four, but
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: there are so many obstacles in so many hurdles. Big
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: twelve Commissioner Brett Ormack confirmed that the Big twelve is
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: also interested in twenty four now. Last summer, the Atlantic
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: Coast Conference was not thrilled about an expansion proposal that
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: would have guaranteed more spots for Big ten and SEC.
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: And that's natural. So why has another Big ten brainchild? Now?
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: The Big ten wants twenty four, but they want to
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: control it right. One aspect is the format. Jim Phillips,
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: Commissioner of the a SEC, said this past week that
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: there must be some equity in a new system, and
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: a model at guarantees the same number of bids to
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: every power for conference. Okay, so he thinks he wants
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: opportunities for the Dukes and the Virginia's in the wake
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: forest and maybe, you know, find out what the playoff
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: is all about.
• 30:22
  Speaker 27: There is so much investment going on in the sport
• 30:26
  Speaker 27: of football in college athletics, and I'm not necessarily concerned
• 30:31
  Speaker 27: about schools that have traditionally found their way to the
• 30:35
  Speaker 27: college football playoff. I'm talking about those that would have
• 30:40
  Speaker 27: a chance that right now don't have a chance to
• 30:43
  Speaker 27: get into that playoff.
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: Okay, it's just so much POSI I couldn't stop my thread.
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: So it's so much more than because it's dollars and
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: cents in conference championship games. I'm gonna roll you some
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: numbers here. Virginia's upset loss to Duke and last year's
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: ACC title game costs league a second spot in the field.
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: That means dollars and cents. Now. Coach Norvil and Florida State, Davos,
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: Winny and Clemson say they love the conference championship games,
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: but something has to give. If you're gonna go to
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: twenty four because it expands the December schedule. It affects
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: the Army Navy game, it affects the portal. Greg Sankie
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: won sixteen. Why because the SEC can control it right
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: now for this year, all right, The CFP is at
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: twelve now. Media consultants gotta love this are working with
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: the CITFP committee and conferences. If the FBS conference championship
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: games are eliminated, that is a two hundred and fifty
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: million dollar nut. Okay. The SEC title game alone in December, okay,
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: is worth one hundred mil acc and Big twelve title
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: games north of fifty million dollars. Okay. Now, But here's
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: here's where we hang on.
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: Hang on to that number, hang on to that one number.
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: I have to I have to know those numbers. Are
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: they what the networks pay the league? Or is that
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: what the networks generated? Advertising? The conference game brings in
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: so they make advertising. That's how much advertising the networks make.
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: Okay, you know the revenue and everything, all right.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: ESPN is not in favor of anything past sixteen. Let
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: me explain. The four Letter pays one point three billion
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: annually as part of an agreement to televised the playoffs
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: through twenty thirty one, so ESPN holds ownership over the
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: playoff as long as the field doesn't expand past fourteen. However,
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: this is where it gets fun. Fox is telling the
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: colleague football playoff. Oh look, tell you what you go
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: to twenty four We got your back? And who and
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: who does Fox represent? The Big ten? All right? So
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: if you look at the NFL now, and now it's
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: hard to compare. You're almost talking apples and oranges. Okay.
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: Commercial time for the playoff games in the NFL is
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: around two million for a thirty second spot. The NFL
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: generates one hundred ten billion dollars from their current eleven
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: year contract. Overall, the expanded playoffs in the NFL bring
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: in one hundred and fifty million. With that being said,
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: all right, let's go back to mister Phillips. Now, the
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: overall calendar we know needs an overhaul, and Jim Phillips,
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: the commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference, is open to anything.
• 33:31
  Speaker 16: I'm really open to anything. I'm open to not automatic bids.
• 33:35
  Speaker 27: I'm open to automatic bids. There has to be some
• 33:38
  Speaker 27: equity to it, though, you know my position about what
• 33:41
  Speaker 27: was previously shared a four four to two two model.
• 33:43
  Speaker 27: I can never accept that whatever's best to get the
• 33:47
  Speaker 27: best twenty four in you know, we should be thinking
• 33:50
  Speaker 27: about that and use that as kind of the north star.
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: So when you've got the bullies of the big tenned
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: SEC in this in their neighborhood and they're going, no, no, no, no,
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: we're going to play at our field. We're going to
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: play with our format and you can you know, if
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: you don't, if you don't agree, just don't come and play.
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know, we had those people in the neighborhood.
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: If you don't like the rules of this game, you know,
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: don't play. So anyway, as far as the format and
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: what they're trying to do, and to me and see,
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: they're what they want to do is move everything back
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: as well because the expanded playoffs and what would happen.
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: You've got to go to week zero, which might be
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: the third week in August. You've got to protect the
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: Army Navy game. They're saying only one bye week for
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: colleges that normally get two. So now you're you're beating
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: the tar out of your players. You've already got thirty
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: million in football rosters, which is just a drop in
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: the bucket considering but the Cup. As far as the
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: ACC is concerned, the conference championship game has always been
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: really kind of a unless it's Clemson or Florida State.
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: I mean, who goes. I should have looked up how
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: many went to Charlotte last year to.
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: See the number of fans masquerading its empty seats and
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: show exactly I mean, the Carolina Panthers were drawing more
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: when they were one.
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: It's it's the same with it. Well, for years I've
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: been saying about the ACC Tournament, the basketball tournament, but
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: especially with a conference championship game. I mean when they
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: had you know, Coastal Division and Atlantic Division and okay,
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: but but you go a whole year. I mean, Virginia
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: goes seven to one in the regular season and Harley
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: gets recognized as a champion. I mean, you kidding me?
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: They should you know that that was a remarkable season
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: for UVA. And I'm not just on the UVA bandwagon
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: here because I used to work there, but I'm just saying,
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: and then all right, you go, Duke gets hot for
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: one game and their quarterback who was down in Miami,
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: you know, gets hot and all of a sudden, Duke wins.
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: But so but that knocked UVA. UVA was in the
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: bracket because it was gonna win. The UVA was in
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: the playoff bracket.
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: But but the sanky clip you played first, which is
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: which he that was Phillips? Okay, his his point A
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: little snuck out there. The amount of money these schools
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: spend to get a football product. So so you're saying,
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: because it's expensive to put a football team together, we
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: should let everyone have a playoff game. We should just
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: let let everyone in the playoffs. Then it becomes the
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: regular season. But he raises another specter because if if
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: the networks are still generating this kind of ad revenue.
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: And that's why I asked the question because sometimes you know,
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: these statistics are, Oh, ESPN paid a billion dollars for
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: the rights, but are they recouping it. ESPN has been
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: laying off people faster than Ford Motor Company, and you know,
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: so have they have they bitten off more than they
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: can shoot? Are they losing money in the deal?
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, And because of the NDC, you bring up a
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: great point as always, But the Big Ten in February
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: detailed the model with no automatic qualifiers, twenty three at
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: large spots, and a guaranteed spot for the group six.
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: In a twenty fourteen bracket, the top eight seeds would
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: likely earn first round buys and then they get to
• 37:19
  Speaker 7: host a second round game. And if they're on campus,
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: naturally they're going to generate because people don't have to
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: travel well, I mean, you know, they will travel small,
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: you know, a couple hours for their home game, but
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: the campus sites can certainly generate a lot of money
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: as well. So it's kind of a dollars and cents thing,
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: and they got to put a pencil to the paper
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: and see where the budget is. But ESPN is saying, no, no,
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: we can't. We're not going to do that many games.
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: That's not you know. But right now the stickler will
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: be the conference championship games. And that's my story and

  Speaker 6: Johnny is now from the offices of Good for America,
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: which is an admonition, a campaign slogan, you name it.
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: It's also a very good podcast. He is a former congressman,
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: former chair of the House Freedom Caucus. Bob Good, Good morning, Bob,
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: Happy Friday. How are you doing, sir?
• 44:41
  Speaker 19: More than Joe doing well? Great to be with you again.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Hope you are well.
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: Also, I got an email and I don't know what
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: the answer to this is. Is why Steve Discano of
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: all the progressive prosecutors in America is the one that
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: got dragged in front of the Congressional committee to answer
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: for these crimes committed by illegals in the country. But
• 45:07
  Speaker 6: I know you've spent a good bit of your congressional
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: time trying to help the southern border get firmed up
• 45:13
  Speaker 6: and well protected. And the only answer I have is
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: Fairfax is very close to where Jim Jordan's office is
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: and such. But a lot of my listeners were enjoying
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: watching Jim eviserate Steve Discano, the Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney,
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: on TV, but a lot of the listeners in other
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: parts saying, Hey, our prosecutors just as bad. Why isn't
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: he up there? I guess, as an avatar for every
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: progressive prosecutor in the country, he's this is at least
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: a congressional look into what's happening with these ignorances of
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: law and allowing people to continue to commit crimes because
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: their immigration status might cause a problem.
• 45:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 45:58
  Speaker 19: Fair fact I certainly had its proportionate share as a
• 46:02
  Speaker 19: huge county, and unfortunately a huge county in the news
• 46:05
  Speaker 19: for all the wrong reasons, so often on the education
• 46:08
  Speaker 19: system and their resistance to proper immigration authority in this country,
• 46:15
  Speaker 19: particularly as it applies to Trump administration the past year
• 46:17
  Speaker 19: and a half, and so they are sort of ground zero,
• 46:21
  Speaker 19: if you will. But I'm concerned, Joe, that we're not
• 46:25
  Speaker 19: hearing enough about the border invasion or the impact of
• 46:29
  Speaker 19: the border invasion, and the long term policies that should
• 46:34
  Speaker 19: be put in place to try to insulate or protect
• 46:38
  Speaker 19: us from a future Democrat president. You know, it's sort
• 46:40
  Speaker 19: of out of site, out of mind. The president stops
• 46:43
  Speaker 19: the flow, but we don't have a long term remediation
• 46:48
  Speaker 19: in place to protect it from a future Democrat who
• 46:50
  Speaker 19: wants to open the flow again the next time they
• 46:52
  Speaker 19: have opportunity.
• 46:53
  Speaker 7: And we also have to.
• 46:56
  Speaker 19: Deport every illegal that's here, in my view, and make
• 47:00
  Speaker 19: them come in through the lawful legal process. And we
• 47:02
  Speaker 19: shouldn't be talking about amnesty either.
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: Well, I said earlier in the week, the world needs
• 47:06
  Speaker 6: more Tom Homans in the world. Whatever it is you do,
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: you got to know what your job is and be
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: unabashed about it. No, it's righteous, you know, to that end.
• 47:16
  Speaker 6: I think we were talking about this earlier. There's a
• 47:19
  Speaker 6: court hearing on President Trump's executive order regarding voter lists
• 47:27
  Speaker 6: and Citizenship Registration. Judge is being asked by the NAACP
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: to block the executive order which President Trump enacted just
• 47:39
  Speaker 6: simply because for some reason, we still can't pass an
• 47:42
  Speaker 6: article through Congress that between seventy five and eighty percent
• 47:46
  Speaker 6: of all Americans support this Save Act? Bob, what do
• 47:51
  Speaker 6: you hear from these people? What is their problem with
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: the Save Act? I've looked. I was trying to find
• 47:56
  Speaker 6: some poison pill buried on page four hundred and eighty five,
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: and I can't find one that would cause these folks
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: to be so against something that everyone in America is supporting.
• 48:07
  Speaker 19: I think this simple negative truth is the truth, and
• 48:11
  Speaker 19: that is this. Democrats believe that they cannot win elections
• 48:15
  Speaker 19: with native born Americans, they cannot win elections with a legal,
• 48:20
  Speaker 19: fair process of only US citizens. And the bottom line is, Democrats,
• 48:24
  Speaker 19: there's only one reason you would be against voter ID.
• 48:27
  Speaker 19: There's only one reason why you would be against proof
• 48:31
  Speaker 19: of citizenship or restricting US elections to only US citizens.
• 48:37
  Speaker 19: And that would be, of course, if you wanted to
• 48:38
  Speaker 19: allow people to cheat and vote when they weren't who
• 48:40
  Speaker 19: they were claiming to be, or you wanted to allow
• 48:42
  Speaker 19: those who are not citizens to vote. And the Democrats
• 48:45
  Speaker 19: of course cast everything in racist terms, as they have
• 48:48
  Speaker 19: for the past sixty years, and so pretend that if
• 48:51
  Speaker 19: you want an ID or you want proof of somehow
• 48:54
  Speaker 19: you're racist, of course. But these are undocumented Democrats who
• 48:58
  Speaker 19: they want to vote, and they want to vote illegally,
• 49:01
  Speaker 19: and that is who the base the Democrat Party that's
• 49:04
  Speaker 19: driving the Democrat Party in policy. And so it is
• 49:08
  Speaker 19: as simple as the apparent reason for it. There's no
• 49:12
  Speaker 19: other reason for it.
• 49:13
  Speaker 6: Well, even the NAACP attorney I like this in his
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: filing yesterday. The president can't rewrite election rules to give
• 49:20
  Speaker 6: himself and the Republican Party a partisan advantage. So apparently
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: only allowing citizens to vote as a Republican party partisan advantage.
• 49:29
  Speaker 19: Pop Well, I think that it is because of the
• 49:34
  Speaker 19: Democrat position on it, because the Democrats supporting policies that
• 49:38
  Speaker 19: facilitate cheating. I mean, it's the Democrats, of course, who
• 49:42
  Speaker 19: want unsolicited mass mail ballots. There's the Democrats who want
• 49:46
  Speaker 19: drop boxes everywhere that are unsecured and not at polling places.
• 49:49
  Speaker 19: The Democrats who want third party ballot harvesting, ballot handling.
• 49:53
  Speaker 19: Is the Democrats who want people to be able to
• 49:55
  Speaker 19: go into nursing facilities and help people vote for the
• 49:59
  Speaker 19: candidate of choice by the person who's helping them vote.
• 50:02
  Speaker 19: It's the Democrats again who don't want proof of citizenship,
• 50:05
  Speaker 19: who don't want voter ID because they want to have
• 50:09
  Speaker 19: the ability to cheat and fraudulently rig elections, just like
• 50:13
  Speaker 19: they tried to recently fraudulently rig the next congressional election
• 50:17
  Speaker 19: in Virginia with these illegal and constitutional, hyper partisan jerry
• 50:22
  Speaker 19: mandering schemes that thankfully the Virginia Supreme Court courageously overturned.
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: You think there's something that can come from that where
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: the Virginia Supreme Court. Now, of course J Jones trying
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: to convince the US Supreme Court that there's some federal
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: abstract to this. But when they said election day is
• 50:41
  Speaker 6: every day that there's a citizen going into a polling
• 50:43
  Speaker 6: place and voting, not just the day you count, I
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: think is important because that's going to, at some point,
• 50:51
  Speaker 6: I hope, get used as a tool to shorten these
• 50:53
  Speaker 6: voting periods. We're talking about your friend and mine, Tommy
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: Massey in Kentucky, our friends Ka WHI r out there
• 51:02
  Speaker 6: in Danville three days I think it's just three days
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: the end of this week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday this week
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: and then they vote on Tuesday. That's way more civilized
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: than a month and a half of voting.
• 51:16
  Speaker 19: Well, I just want to pivot for a moment to
• 51:18
  Speaker 19: what you just reference to Thomas Massey election. I think
• 51:20
  Speaker 19: it's a tritically important election on Tuesday. I think it
• 51:23
  Speaker 19: will tell us a lot about the country, not just
• 51:25
  Speaker 19: about his district. Is the Republican Party? Is the Republican
• 51:29
  Speaker 19: elector are they still conservative? Do they still believe in
• 51:32
  Speaker 19: fiscal responsibility and limited government and the constitution and holding
• 51:37
  Speaker 19: people accountable for their actions, especially the wealthy, the well connected,
• 51:42
  Speaker 19: the elites and so forth among us? Or would they
• 51:44
  Speaker 19: just obey whom they're told to vote for or to
• 51:48
  Speaker 19: vote against? With they elect a guy like Ed Galleran
• 51:50
  Speaker 19: who won't even debate, can't debate, who is really a
• 51:53
  Speaker 19: joke of a candidate, and turn out, turn away someone
• 51:57
  Speaker 19: like Thomas Massey, who's been a courageous conservative leader for
• 51:59
  Speaker 19: now fourteen or so years. That's a critically important election.
• 52:03
  Speaker 19: I do hope the Supreme Court will reign back these
• 52:06
  Speaker 19: forty five days type of election cycles that we have
• 52:09
  Speaker 19: like that is.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Here in Virginia.
• 52:10
  Speaker 19: But to Virginia, the Democrats in Virginia, Joe, how are
• 52:14
  Speaker 19: they respond? This is what Democrats do. They want to
• 52:17
  Speaker 19: They're reportedly considering lowering the retirement age for Supreme Court
• 52:22
  Speaker 19: justices in Virginia from seventy three to fifty four so
• 52:25
  Speaker 19: they can get rid of all seven. Right now, the
• 52:26
  Speaker 19: seven makeup is three who were elected by Republican state legislatures,
• 52:32
  Speaker 19: three who were elected by bipartisan or split legislatures, divided legislatures,
• 52:37
  Speaker 19: and only one was elected by a complete Democrat legislature.
• 52:40
  Speaker 7: So they want to get seven elected.
• 52:41
  Speaker 19: By Democrat legislators by getting rid of all of them.
• 52:45
  Speaker 19: That's what Democrats try to do.
• 52:46
  Speaker 6: And by the way, voting started today in Kentucky. My
• 52:52
  Speaker 6: name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my leg
• 52:54
  Speaker 6: to a roadside bomb.
• 52:55
  Speaker 16: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
• 52:58
  Speaker 16: weightlifting champion.
• 53:00
  Speaker 18: I'm Sam.
• 53:01
  Speaker 7: I'm a veteran.

  Speaker 5: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
• 53:09

• 53:14
  Speaker 5: At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: the benefits they've earned.
• 53:19
  Speaker 8: I'm a veteran, and my victory was finishing my education.
• 53:23
  Speaker 5: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: for victories great and small.
• 53:29
  Speaker 6: My victory was proving that disability is not a limitation.
• 53:33
  Speaker 13: My victory was getting my service dog and new best friend.
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: We help more than a million veterans every year as
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: they face and conquer their challenges.
• 53:41
  Speaker 12: My victory is being able to be there for my family.
