  Speaker 5: to hear how it's impacting you where you are. You,
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: the singular most important local aspect of the radio station.
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: And nobody ever talks about that. It's you. I've worked
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: for a lot of people in a lot of places.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: and we all trumpet the things we do locally. And
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: we need to do more about pointing out that you're
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: the thing that we do locally. We get you. We

• 2:14
  Speaker 5: in a moment or two. We've been talking about the
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: German elections a little bit because it's really more about
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: the American press than it is the German elections, sorry
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: to say. So the German elections yesterday that everyone's freaking
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: out about, state elections, this would be like the rest
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: of the world trying to cover the Ohio governor's race.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: Are we on HTX this morning? I know we get
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: an hour with our friends in Youngstown, but we're going
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: to have our dear friend Rebecca from the Daily Signal
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: Ohio news desk to talk about the attack on the
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: gubernatorial candidate, the leftist. And we'll get into that in
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: a little bit as well, tell you the story, but
• 3:06

• 3:13
  Speaker 5: Our first things, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: any unauthorized settler outposts in the West Bank to be dismantled.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: The order applies to outposts established by settlers without official
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: authorization from the Israeli state. Tragedy in Miami yesterday as
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: an Amazon cargo plane crashed and caught fire after it
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: overran a runway at Miami International Airport yesterday afternoon. Five
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: crew members were killed, obviously contacting their next of kin,
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: A Boeing 767 cargo aircraft, flight 7598, had arrived from
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: San Juan, Puerto Rico when it overshot the runway. Ukrainian
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: President Volodymyr Zelensky spent Sunday with U.S. envoys, including Steve Witkoff,
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: said that it was an upbeat meeting but couldn't announce
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: any breakthroughs and expects the war with Russia to continue.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: into another winter. Billions of Iranian rial, I guess more
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: like quadrillions of Iranian rial, are flowing through U.S. banks
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: every year. Treasury Department has identified nine billion U.S. dollars
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: worth of potential Iranian shadow banking activity. Just to steal
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: the spotlight from college football's first weekend in the last-second
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: heroics that gave Ole Miss a victory over Louisville. And,
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: of course, a lot of early-season routes took place in
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: and around college football's official first weekend. Roger Goodell managed
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: to steal the headlines for the National Football League, or
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: as Howard Cosell called it, the league where they play
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: for pay. I guess that doesn't apply anymore. We're going
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: to talk about this with Mac, I guess, in a
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: little while. He's working as well. Roger Goodell signed a
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: four-year extension to his contract to remain the commissioner of
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: the National Football League, making his tenure by the time
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: the contract expires 25 years. The agreement will run through
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: March 31st of 2031. And tomorrow morning, hearing will be
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: placed in Belfont, Pennsylvania, over the recantation of one of
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Jerry Sandusky's accusers, the former Penn State defensive coach. You know,
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: the folks who help support the program at DailySignal.com, we
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: mentioned Rebecca and the Ohio team. We also have a team.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: in Texas and Georgia and California, and they're busy all
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: the time. And they get you all the state news
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: from all these places, and we cover here in Virginia.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: My latest piece went up over the weekend about the
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: gold rush for counties and cities to enact an extra
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: bonus tax because the multiple counties trillions of dollars the
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: state takes in isn't enough to fix a parking lot
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: at a school. I mentioned jcsgold.com. Our friends at the
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: Jefferson Coin Shop, they're off for the holiday, but you
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: can go to jcsgold.com anytime and see the gold and
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: silver prices.

  Speaker 8: You know, a lot of times you have to choose
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: between something high quality or something that saves you money.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: But what if you could get both? Why not? Especially
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: when it comes to health care, and that is MediShare.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: You get both.
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: Many families save 500 bucks a month with MediShare, and
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: that's huge.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: But it's also true that people wind up way.
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: More satisfied, too. We know this from research of members.
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: There's a lot they like about MediShare, but especially they
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: love being part of something they believe in. And MediShare works, too.
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: It has for more than 30 years. There are hundreds
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: of thousands of members involved. who love having telehealth if

  Speaker 11: It feels like even a family road trip is taking

  Speaker 12: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 12: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them, nestled
• 9:09
  Speaker 12: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes!
• 9:15
  Speaker 13: Yes!
• 9:16
  Speaker 12: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 9:20
  Speaker 12: favorite form of ear candy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 14: Oh, my.
• 9:24
  Speaker 12: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Shh!
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Do you smell that?
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Shh!
• 9:32
  Speaker 12: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 9:38
  Speaker 12: And with every item you buy, you fund local job
• 9:41
  Speaker 12: training and more.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: So go forth.
• 9:45
  Speaker 12: Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home so much
• 9:49
  Speaker 12: good to your community.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: Goodwill.
• 9:54
  Speaker 12: Bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 15: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 15: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 15: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 15: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 15: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 15: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:24
  Speaker 15: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 15: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 15: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 15: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 10: Eat better. Get moving.

  Speaker 5: I'm a veteran, and I lost both legs in Vietnam.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: My victory was proving that a disability is not a limitation.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: I'm Julius.
• 10:59

• 11:50
  Speaker 5: Then probably.
• 11:52
  Speaker 13: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:55
  Speaker 13: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 11: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 13: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 20: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: I can probably swim.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Cannonball!
• 12:11
  Speaker 21: Cramp!
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: I have a cramp.
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: I can probably hit the green from here.

  Speaker 5: Probably.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 22: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 20: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 20: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 20: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
• 12:45
  Speaker 20: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.

• 13:47
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: Sorry about that there. We were looking at the wrong
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: clock there. It's a bad executive function there. And that
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: awkward silence, though, we'll use to our advantage. That's what
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: the world would be like if the FCC has its
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: way with radio. Just saying. I'm just saying. They want
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: to let everyone kind of mush radio together. And this is,
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: just to finish up the arc on workforce and localization.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: What is your career ladder? What is the next rung
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: on your career ladder? If you're in accounting, is your
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: next rung becoming the boss of the accountants? And is
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: that the only way to be successful? And that's one
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: of the things that we've lost in American unionist, the
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: post-unionist movement in America is the only way to move
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: up is to move out. We see it in the schools.
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: We see it so many places. The only way to
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: be higher paid, better compensated, both benefits and everything, is
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: to move out of the thing that you do. So
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: you start working for a company, you work there for
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: a thing, and we reward you for not doing it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: We reward you for getting the hell out of the
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: way of who? And we centralized and centralized. And I
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: remember when Bank of America merged with MBNA. I forget
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: what MBNA stood for. It's an acronym. But MBNA was
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: almost as big in Delaware as DuPont or AstraZeneca. And
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: a lot of people made really good wages, really good earnings,
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: working in middle management, kind of. making sure the documents
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: are all filed in the right place. And believe me,
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: when you're talking about banking, documentation is important. And then
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: they merged with Bank of America out of North Carolina.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: And they laid off everyone without any conditions from MBNA
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: and kept everyone from Bank of America.
• 16:32
  Speaker 16: Yes.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: And there were— I mean, you want to talk about Black Friday.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: There were six-figure earning middle managers who all of a
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: sudden had to come up with what their next chapter
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: was going to be at the age of 50 or 55.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: And there was a huge hit to the economy. Obviously,
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: all the businesses that served these middle managers who were
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: making good wages— And it became a wake-up call for, well,
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: what do you do for the bank? And so, you know,
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: the FCC wants to allow more centralization of broadcast. And
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: you'll have fewer and fewer people like me when that
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: happens because big corporations eventually, and this is always the case,
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: they look for the part of the business that costs
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: them money. You're forgetting the part that says, you know,
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: in a balanced business, the part that costs you money
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: costs you money so that you can make the money
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: on the other end. And this is why I say
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: Labor Day should be about how to be a good boss.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: But I want to get back into the story of
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: the Alternative für Deutschland. I'm told it's Alternative for. For Deutschland.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: Spelled like, and I imagine it's one of those, it's
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: one of those words that came along after the Dutch,
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: the Germanic languages had all metastasized. So, I don't know,
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: was ist los alternative? So it just became the German
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: word for alternative is alternative. Alternative. So what do they
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: stand for? Because your press is telling you that ostensibly
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: Hitler has risen from the dead and was elected to
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: the German chancellery. That's how they're reporting it, sloppily. And, oh,
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: we only have a couple of lines of space, so
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: we have to really just hit the high notes. High
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: notes being that they didn't even win a majority in
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: the state that they targeted, this Saxony.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Ahold.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: But they have the largest single block of government members
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: of the elected local parliament, so they should be able
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: to insist that whoever the governor is is going to
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: have to answer to some of their agenda items. So
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: what are those agenda items? Because the press, you know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: is making it sound like they want trains running to
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: Buchenwald and to make Buchenwald great again. AFDs got, you know,
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: a nationalist bent regarding non-citizens. They want the government to
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: stop spending money on refugees. Remember, Germany got hit long
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: before Joe Biden got a hold of the key to
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: the candy shop. They were getting the Syrians 2009, 2010,
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: all promoted and lauded by Barack Obama. Remember, like that
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: little corporal failed artist, you know, in in the beer
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: gardens of Bavaria, you know, somebody in the Nationalist Socialist
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: Workers Party of Germany said, I mean, you got.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: The first sort of mainstream.
• 20:21
  Speaker 13: American who was articulate and bright and clean and nice
• 20:28
  Speaker 13: looking guy.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's a storybook, man.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the storybook turned out badly for the Nationalist Socialist
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: Workers Party of Germany. much in the same way, because
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: that corporal had other ideas, or at least his buddies did.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: And that's where, you know, the failures of history, we've
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: left that whole chapter, because we know Hitler was not
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: the founder of the Nazi party, although I'm sure many
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: of the people you'll run in today believe that to
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: be how the Nazi party came to be, and that
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: Nazi is just a word, a word that these days
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: means stop talking to me. They want the non-citizens returned
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: to their home countries, remove the constitutional right of foreigners
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: to seek asylum in Germany. I might have a question
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: with that. Certainly, Bayer is looking into how it's being applied.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: And they want to ostensibly ban the religion of Islam.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: And this is because the hand-wringers, was her name Merkel,
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: and all the folks who bent over forwards for the
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: Obama administration, said, sure, give them this whole city and
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: it'll be okay. We promise. We'll even let them have
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: Sharia law because they say they'll be stand-up folks.

  Speaker 2: First thing today by joe thomas on the talk media
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: network i.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: Want to be careful you know we have a roster
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: of fine folks that pick up the program for holiday
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: fill-ins and i believe some of them may be in
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: south carolina so mac is your report on college football
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: this weekend you know and i know the flagship is
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: in charlottesville where half the press is saying, oh, that's it.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: They're going to hire Tony Elliott away. You know, Tony
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: Elliott beats North Carolina State. And next thing you know, he's,
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: you know, apparently everyone's like, well, Tony gets the modern
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: NCAA and Dabo will not adapt.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Well, and the worst loss.
• 28:52
  Speaker 21: And, you know, it's just so much bizarreness, which carried over.
• 28:57
  Speaker 21: And I'm going to play for you. And thank goodness
• 29:00
  Speaker 21: we do have Now, when you can watch a game,
• 29:04
  Speaker 21: but the Western Michigan, Michigan game was in Lance Taylor.
• 29:09
  Speaker 21: The coach of the Broncos was so he he couldn't
• 29:14
  Speaker 21: have handled this with more class. The clock, the clock
• 29:18
  Speaker 21: didn't sink.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: It's not right.
• 29:20
  Speaker 21: Quote, the lesson here is not making excuses for the
• 29:23
  Speaker 21: outcome of the game. Ultimately, the refs did not cost
• 29:26
  Speaker 21: this game.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: You're right. The replay guys did. For some reason, the
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: clocks did not match.
• 29:34
  Speaker 21: And Taylor said if they use that as an excuse,
• 29:38
  Speaker 21: it allows us to question get bitter instead of get
• 29:41
  Speaker 21: better about that.
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: That's a boss. There's somebody who could be a boss
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: on Labor Day.
• 29:47
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 29:47
  Speaker 21: And even the Western Michigan president stood tall and said,
• 29:50
  Speaker 21: you know what? We talked to the big 10 handled it.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: They did. They did right now. I, with all that
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: being said, And we all know about the Hail Mary.
• 29:58
  Speaker 21: You're going to get the Hail Mary call here, and
• 30:00
  Speaker 21: you're also going to get the behind the scenes. So
• 30:02
  Speaker 21: if you don't know what happened, Michigan had two cracks
• 30:05
  Speaker 21: at the Hail Mary because they said the first Hail
• 30:06
  Speaker 21: Mary that a kid from Western Michigan stepped on the line,
• 30:10
  Speaker 21: came back inbounds, and hit the ball. But clearly, the
• 30:14
  Speaker 21: stadium clock hit zero before the ball even hit the
• 30:17
  Speaker 21: guy's hands on the first Hail Mary call. So what
• 30:21
  Speaker 21: looked like should have been a win, but then they
• 30:22
  Speaker 21: replayed it. But here's... here's the just listen to this
• 30:27
  Speaker 21: confusion now this is the replay guys trying to get
• 30:30
  Speaker 21: this right okay and thank goodness we have you know
• 30:33
  Speaker 21: opportunities to have this kind of audio all right here
• 30:35
  Speaker 21: we go okay.
• 30:36
  Speaker 13: He's jumping from out of bounds so when 18 is
• 30:39
  Speaker 13: touching the football now do you see.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: That it's dead when he touches the ball when 18 is.
• 30:43
  Speaker 13: Touching the football we've got one second on the clock.
• 30:46
  Speaker 16: No no i'll just keep it on because i do
• 30:49
  Speaker 16: but just hold on.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: And we've got him Is this a program feed?
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: Jim, are you with me?
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: Can you hear me, guys?
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Sounds like a rocket launch. I hope not.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: NASA needs more engineers.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: It's just all the confusion. And so the clock in
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: the control center said.
• 31:09
  Speaker 21: One second left, so they put it back. And then,
• 31:12
  Speaker 21: of course, if you were on a planet over the
• 31:14
  Speaker 21: weekend or doing something productive, which a lot of us
• 31:19
  Speaker 21: should have been doing, this is how it sounded.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: A Bryce Underwood magical moment to throw away the hope
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: for the Broncos.
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: On third down, deep drop, going.
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: To unload it towards the end zone, into the car,
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: and it's caught!
• 31:44
  Speaker 21: And when you get, when you give a player, you know, any,
• 31:47
  Speaker 21: any talented player quarterback, you give him a second chance.
• 31:50
  Speaker 21: Cause he threw the first hail Mary basically out of bounds.
• 31:52
  Speaker 21: He threw it in the back of the end zone
• 31:55
  Speaker 21: from 40 plus or whatever the, you know, the yardage was.
• 31:57
  Speaker 21: So when it was all said and done, it just,
• 32:01
  Speaker 21: it turned into be a Michigan victory.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: They were celebrating.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: Can I point something out there?
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sure.
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: So our flagship station is a Virginia Tech Hokie affiliate.
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: Hold it.
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: They just scored again.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: And I received more emails from people who were gnashing
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: teeth over the fact that they beat Virginia Military Institute,
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: which is basically what you would consider a Division II school.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: 73-6 or something like that.
• 32:28
  Speaker 13: 73-3.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: And they're like, oh, I don't feel good about this. Yet,
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: over the last 10 years, when Virginia Tech would play
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: a school like Virginia Military Institute and struggle to beat them,
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: if they did beat them several times, Old Dominion's whole
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: College football program was based on upsetting Virginia Tech in
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: these opening.
• 32:53
  Speaker 21: And you had the years ago you had the JMU
• 32:56
  Speaker 21: win when they were trailing and so on.
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: And so, you know, doing what Alabama does to Alabama
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: A & T now has everyone like, oh, I don't
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: know if I'm happy about that. I'm like, listen, this
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: is why you schedule.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Well, sometimes, yeah.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: Smaller schools.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: You've heard me say it a thousand times.
• 33:14
  Speaker 21: Dave Odom, Dave Odom used to tell me, you know,
• 33:17
  Speaker 21: he used to say the three most important things in
• 33:19
  Speaker 21: being a coach is scheduling, recruiting and scheduling.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: You know, because it really, you have, and so.
• 33:26
  Speaker 21: The schedule really falls perfectly for a new coach, James Franklin,
• 33:32
  Speaker 21: to get the things, you know, and I think, you know,
• 33:34
  Speaker 21: they're going to be better. They could win eight games,
• 33:37
  Speaker 21: maybe nine.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think, you know.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: But you look at, you know, what happened to Michigan,
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: you know, if you take it for granted.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, exactly.
• 33:47
  Speaker 21: Well, then, okay, all right, so let's talk, because we,
• 33:50
  Speaker 21: You know, I'm going to close the book eventually on
• 33:52
  Speaker 21: Lane Kiffin, but I have a feeling this is going
• 33:54
  Speaker 21: to be an ongoing.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Narrative, you know, during the whole season. So what does
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Lane do? They're up 31, what was it, 31-7 at
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: half the other night. And, you know, it was rain delay.
• 34:08
  Speaker 21: And it didn't get started until 9 o'clock. And so, anyway,
• 34:11
  Speaker 21: he had a halftime interview, and they wanted to talk,
• 34:16
  Speaker 21: the writers wanted to talk to Lane about why did
• 34:20
  Speaker 21: you say what you said?
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: And I'll read it.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: Well, I just said that to Shelly afterwards. Like, what
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: would it look like if they didn't let us have
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: those players, too?
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: That's just my personality.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: So, it is what it is. And then I said,
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: did you actually, like, put that on our studio? Yeah,
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: I said, So what's the difference? Everybody hates you. They
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: can't hate you that much more.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 34:40
  Speaker 21: Everybody hates me anyway because he said, you know, just think, yeah,
• 34:44
  Speaker 21: she says, how do you feel about your 31-7 lead?
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Did you, you know, blah, blah, blah.
• 34:49
  Speaker 21: He goes, just think if we had the other players.
• 34:51
  Speaker 21: You know, so because he sat the, you know, he
• 34:53
  Speaker 21: sat Daquan, you know, after everything that happened, you know,
• 34:58
  Speaker 21: last Thursday, he did not put them on the roster Friday.
• 35:00
  Speaker 21: And then, you know, the anticipation, you know, they had
• 35:03
  Speaker 21: the lightning delay and, you know, weather was such.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: A, You know, such a plug.
• 35:07
  Speaker 21: But anyway, with all that being said, the first college
• 35:10
  Speaker 21: weekend is in the books, and there's just so much that,
• 35:13
  Speaker 21: you know, that played out. And then last night, you know,
• 35:17
  Speaker 21: Ole Miss, they were up two touchdowns with less than.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: Five minutes to go.
• 35:22
  Speaker 21: And the new kid who came from Ohio State, Lincoln Keinholz,
• 35:28
  Speaker 21: hit a 54-yard pass, a seven-yard touchdown run.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: All of a sudden, the game's tied. but they had,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: they had no timeouts. Yeah.
• 35:34
  Speaker 21: An Ole miss. I mean, they had a chance to
• 35:38
  Speaker 21: win it by two touchdowns. Then they couldn't get a
• 35:40
  Speaker 21: first down. I mean, you know, it's just, and Kirby smart.
• 35:44
  Speaker 21: I'll have more of this as the week goes on
• 35:46
  Speaker 21: because there were just some classic comments and, you know,
• 35:51
  Speaker 21: everything from the heat Notre Dame one big last night.
• 35:54
  Speaker 21: You know, so with all that, but don't, Hey, don't,
• 35:57
  Speaker 21: don't look past the Cubs now. It's because I, this
• 36:02
  Speaker 21: is the dog. This is a great time of year.
• 36:04
  Speaker 21: I love, love, love this time of year. You got
• 36:06
  Speaker 21: your baseball races. You got your, you know, the, the,
• 36:10
  Speaker 21: the September push with just a couple of weeks left, right?
• 36:13
  Speaker 21: Pete Coral Armstrong hit his 40th for the Cubs. He
• 36:17
  Speaker 21: became the first Cub to, 40 home runs, 30 steals.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: And so, you know, in Boston.
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: Ernie Banks didn't do that?
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, Ernie Banks did not do it. You know, Mr. Cabo.
• 36:29
  Speaker 21: So anyway, and then the Padres take two out of
• 36:31
  Speaker 21: three against the A's. So the races and the wildcard
• 36:33
  Speaker 21: races are getting, you know, good. People are, do you
• 36:37
  Speaker 21: not realize Cleveland leads.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: For the final wildcard spot? They have a game lead.
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: The Chicago White Sox. The Chicago White Sox were last place,
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: weren't they, just last year?
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: They shelled the Twins 10-1. I know.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: So that's what I said. It's going to be a
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: lot of fun.
• 36:54
  Speaker 21: Also, I will get into, you know, this week, Christopher
• 36:57
  Speaker 21: Bell got the win also at Southern. So the chase,
• 37:01
  Speaker 21: you know, the chase begins. But, you know, weather played,
• 37:06
  Speaker 21: you know, it played in the hands of a lot
• 37:08
  Speaker 21: of delays.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: And a lot of, you know.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: And there's a great Labor Day arc. We spent a
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: bit of time in between the German elections and what
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: makes a good boss. We talk about executive function and
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: putting people in the right place. Can we establish that
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: there's Joe Gibbs and then everyone else?
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, when you consider football and racing, yes.
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: Are they the same? Do you do the same thing?
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: No. Does Christopher Bell have an.
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: Offensive line in front of him as he's going around Darlington?
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: No.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: You've got to have the boys in the shop.
• 37:49
  Speaker 21: You've got to have the boys in the shop.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: But you've got to build that, you know, and he
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: gets it. I mean, there's the book that somebody should write.
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: I know they've written some books about him, but good stuff, Mac.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: All right, bub.
• 38:00
  Speaker 16: See you.
• 38:01
  Speaker 18: According to a new report from Discovery Education, 92% of
• 38:05
  Speaker 18: students say that engaging lessons make school more fun, and
• 38:08
  Speaker 18: more than 90% of educators said engagement is critical for
• 38:11
  Speaker 18: student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning, but gaps
• 38:16
  Speaker 18: remain about how to achieve, measure, and sustain students' interest
• 38:19
  Speaker 18: in the classroom. Although 63% of students agreed that students
• 38:24
  Speaker 18: are highly engaged in school, Only 45% of teachers and
• 38:27
  Speaker 18: 51% of principals surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators
• 38:32
  Speaker 18: disagreed on the top indicators of engagement. 72% of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 18: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  Speaker 18: while 54% of superintendents rate performing well on assessments as
• 38:45
  Speaker 18: a top engagement indicator. Also, two-thirds of students said they
• 38:49
  Speaker 18: believed that AI could help them learn faster, yet fewer
• 38:52
  Speaker 18: than half of teachers report using AI themselves to complete tasks.

  Speaker 23: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 39:09
  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
• 39:18
  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,
• 39:28
  Speaker 23: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 39:33
  Speaker 23: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 23: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 39:40
  Speaker 23: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in

  Speaker 22: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:38
  Speaker 22: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 22: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 22: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 22: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 22: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 22: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 41:00
  Speaker 22: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

  Speaker 13: Got his first job, not for extra spending money, but
• 42:17
  Speaker 13: to help feed his little sisters?

  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: We were talking about bosses on being Labor Day there
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: and what makes a good boss. And I brought up,
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: you know, the fact that I'm happy for Gary Cole,
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: the actor, to finally take over a role where he
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: doesn't have to be the doofus. So typecast.
• 44:41
  Speaker 13: In.
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: In office space, and unfairly, because he's not the only goofus.
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's not the only avatar of all the
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: things that we do wrong in our big corporate structure.
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: And I think it was Steve sent me this clip
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: to make the point.
• 44:58
  Speaker 6: What you do in Inateck is you take the specifications
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: from the customers and you bring them down to the
• 45:04
  Speaker 6: software engineers.
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, that's right.
• 45:07
  Speaker 22: Well, then I just have to ask, why couldn't the
• 45:10
  Speaker 22: customers just take them directly to the software people, huh?
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you why.
• 45:18
  Speaker 22: Because engineers are not good at dealing with customers.
• 45:23
  Speaker 13: So, you physically take the specs from the customer?
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: Well, no.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: My secretary does that. All the facts.
• 45:38
  Speaker 15: So then you must physically bring them to the software people.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: Well, no.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, sometimes.
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: This is such a great treatise and everything.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: And it is.
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: Humor is the way we shine a mirror on ourselves.
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: And when you have a guy like Lumberg or even
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: Vice President Bob Russell, and you say, well, why is
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: this guy in charge? Probably because nobody else wanted to be.
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: What do they say about elections? Elections are decided by
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: the people that show up. Sometimes your positions of leadership
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: are that way. But we owe it to this country
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: because we are any country, all countries are an economic abstract.
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: We are a group of people often connected by ethnicity
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: or the fact that we have no native ethnicity, all
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: kind of bumping around doing stuff for each other. That's
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: what a country is politically. And so the countries that
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: are prosperous are the ones where the people are doing
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: things for each other at their own volition, right? Tell
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: me I'm wrong at 434-882-4217. You wouldn't need all the
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: body bags for communism. And I had mentioned Joe Gibbs
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: in the segment with Mac and Jerry texts in. He says,
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: what is it with you guys and football coaches? You
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: all love your football coaches. I don't love all football coaches, Jerry.
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: I just think Joe Gibbs as an example of leadership
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: is a pretty good one because you go from one
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: milieu to the other. You're successful with guys like John.
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: You can get John Riggins rowing in the same direction
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: as everyone else. And you can get Kyle Busch to
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: row in the same direction as everyone else. And I've
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: never had to manage either one of them, but I
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: have had to manage mercurial souls, and they're not the
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: easiest to get rowing in the same direction as everyone else.
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: So there's a leadership message in that, is that you've
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: got to tailor, and this is the part, you know,
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: because there's no one answer, but everyone needs to be
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: managed differently. A great sports analogy, and we had years ago,
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: we had Daryl Strawberry on, and I'm not going to
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: torture you with sports metaphor all morning, but he talked,
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: and I brought this up, I was old Longtime Met fan,
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: grew up in Queens, and knew people, my dad knew
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: people in the front office who said the worst thing
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: that ever happened to the 1986 New York Mets was
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: that the general manager didn't understand the role that Ray
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: Knight played.
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: Now, can you imagine?
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: In mind, Ray Knight was given the MVP award of
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: the World Series. He was the guy who, at that point,
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: the most notable thing was he was the first guy
• 49:29
  Speaker 5: to play third base for the Cincinnati Reds, not named
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: Pete Rose in a very long time. It's like who
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: took over at shortstop from Cal Ripken Jr. or first
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: base from Lou Gehrig. So they get rid of Ray
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: Knight because they had this young guy who could hit
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: a lot of home runs and he ran really fast.
• 49:59
  Speaker 5: So they said, we're going to bring up this other guy.
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: And what nobody took into account was that Ray Knight's
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: main job on the team was to go on the
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: road and be Daryl Strawberry's roommate.
• 50:10
  Speaker 23: Why?
• 50:11
  Speaker 5: Because the manager, Dave Johnson, knew that Daryl liked to
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: go out at night. And if he had a soft-on-crime
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: kind of roommate, he'd get into all kinds of trouble
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: on the road. So he wanted somebody rooming with him
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: to watch over him. Is it fair? Is it babysitting? No,
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: but Ray Knight understood that was his job, was to
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: keep this superstar from ruining his career up his nose
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: or down his liver or wherever. And I brought this
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: up to Daryl years ago. He now goes out in
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: ministry and talks about drugs and addiction. And again, he goes, man,
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: it was, he said, as soon as my watchdog was gone,
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: Me and Dwight were out. You think about these guys.
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: They could have been in the Hall of Fame first ballot,
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: the way they were playing by 1987. The wheels were
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: coming off. They'd only been in the league two or
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: three years, and the wheels were coming off because management
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: took away some of their tools, which were trying to
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: get a young person to be responsible to the rest
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: of the team and putting someone there that can help
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: teach them that. mercurial talents come about, whether you're running
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: a shipping business or a restaurant, because they're important to
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: the team, but they have to be part of the team.
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: And that's, you know, one of the things, here I go,
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: I'm going to bring up Michael Jordan now. This is
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: why Michael Jordan was an awful head coach, because he
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: didn't have Michael Jordan playing for him. So how do
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: you do that? How do you get all the parts
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: in place? How do you get your radio station or
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: your auto repair shop? And how do you get people
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: to understand their roles, even if they're a mercurial, once-in-a-lifetime talent?
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: Some guy can bring in a 1967 Fairlane and have
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: it running, not burning oil in a couple hours. That's
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: mercurial in the auto repair industry. How do you manage that?
• 52:21
  Speaker 5: Because not all of your mechanics are going to be
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: able to do that. See, that's why being the boss,
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: even if it's middle management, lower management, store management, is important.
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: And we just give these jobs to people without saying,
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: all right, show me what your executive ability is. Why
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: is George Washington better than other presidents? Because of his
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: executive ability.
