• 2:55
  Speaker 2: eighteen seventy nine honoring George Washington, who's birthday was already
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: informally celebrated nationwide. The holiday was moved to the third
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: weekend of February way back nineteen seventy one. I was
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: one years old, placing it between the birthdays of Washington
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and Abe Lincoln, creating that three day weekend. Most schools
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: are closed on President's Day. My Little Girls is wide
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: open today, but yeah, federal holiday, so that means generally
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the public schools, many of which are closed, along with banks,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: post offices. By the way, George, Washington and Abe really
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: didn't make a big deal about their birthdays at all.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: They could really like kind of give a crap about them.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: They were too busy to be caring or worrying about
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: their birthdays or blowing out candles and eating cake. Thanks

  Speaker 2: The games are on Sundays from eight am until one
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: pm at the Edmunds Middle School. And yeah, it's one
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty bucks. I know a guy who would
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: be perfect for this, not myself, not myself, but a
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: good friend of mine, neighbor of mine, who would absolutely
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: love this. So yeah, if you would, if you'd like

• 13:22
  Speaker 2: about this. This is the men's League.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, our men's league. We do. We try to do
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: about three or four of them a year, depending on
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: timeframe and and availability. But this is our first one
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: of twenty twenty six. It'll be our spring league starting
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: March twenty ninth, and.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: We actually are full.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: I know you just mentioned it on the air, but
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: we actually just got full this morning. Eighty players have
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: signed up already, and yeah, and we're hoping to possibly
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: add another eight.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: So we can put another team into the to the league.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: But we you know, we got to just figure out
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: you know, the logistics of time and and and availability
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: and stuff. But yeah, just exciting already full.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Wow, man, dude, that's fantastic. You know. I I saw
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: yesterday had like three or four spots left. But man,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: that's that's remarkable. So, uh, we don't even have to
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: talk about the deadline being March first, because it's it's
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: it's going man.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know this is uh, usually after the New year,
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: we take we usually take the winter off, so guys
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: are really anticipating the next league to kick off, and
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: you know, they're they're itching.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: To get out there and play again.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure they're trying to get you know, get
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: that winter time wait off of them and start sweating it.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Out so I get there. I bet they're excited to play, dude.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: So this starts up the end of.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: March, correct, Yeah, March twenty ninth.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Will there be another one on the on the back
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: side of this.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So I like to I don't like to, you know,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: wait too long because it honestly, the years go by
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: so fast for us, and it is a ten to
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: twelve week program, so we try to take maybe like
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: a week or two off and then we'll get back
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: into it. So I think the championship for this league
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: is going to be June.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Like the second week of June, barring.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Any you know, hopefully not any thing happens where we
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: have to reschedule any games, but then.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: We'll start again. Then we'll start again.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Probably the back end of June, going into our next season,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: which would be the Burlington ABA.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Do tell please.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: So this year, we're gonna be starting our first semi
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: professional basketball team in Chinning County. It will be hosted
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: at Burlington High School, the new new, brand new facility,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: and we're gonna be starting our inaugural season October twenty
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: twenty six.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: And yeah, we're excited for that. We're gonna give locals
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: a platform to even play at a higher level.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Damn fella, that is freaking awesome.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: News man, good for you, Thank you, first, Thank you,
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: first ABA team in Chittenden County, Yep.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well the Vermont Frost Seeds did start their play
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: when they were about.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: They did start in Burlington.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: They played out of the Burlington Memorial Auditorium, which no
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: longer exists.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: But then they moved out to Burry Auditorium and you know,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: left Burlington without a team, and we're bringing it back.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I think this is fantastic. Man, And listen, let's give
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: some some props because I know that Revolution Basketball has
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: had some help from the Altar Group. Keller Williams, you
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: guys have had some great community response that is teaming
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: up on you.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, the Altar Group. I mean a lot of guys
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: they play in our leagues. They see the camaraderie, they
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: see the support that we get from the community, and
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: you know, it really helps when we try to reach
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: out to sponsors because we already have a following and
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: we have support within the community. So we just locked
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: up a partnership with the Windjammer Best Western Plus. So
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: that's a huge, huge one for us, a good partnership.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Hopefully that that can be a good starting point for
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: our Burlington ABA and continue to you know, partner with
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: some local local businesses that support our Wow.
• 18:01

• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Thank you for having me Andy Bussano right there talking
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: about Revolution Basketball's Men's League, which just filled up this morning.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: It starts tail end of March and it's going to
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: be massive. Be on the watch, beyond the listen for
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: the next one. I'll make sure that you know about it.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: It is Yeah, it is Monday. It is President's Day.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: You know. One of the questions that I posted a
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: few days ago the Facebook Question of the Day, and
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: it garnered some pretty interesting response that I finally had
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: a chance to sit down and thumb through a little
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: bit over the weekend. It was a busy weekend, but
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: nonetheless a chance to read some of the comments from Vermonors,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: which were very interesting and put things into a little
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: bit of a perspective for me. This is what I
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: wrote for the Facebook Question of the Day. By so
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: many different measures, the economy looks good and I'm sure
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: you've heard about it. Stock market hit new highs, Inflation
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: is going down, gas prices are going down, there's low unemployment.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: So why are Americans hurting? And even more specifically, why
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: are Vermonors hurting so much? And I started clicking a
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: little bit and found a study that I would like
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: to share with you, and I'll post it up on
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: the page that the typical American worker has nine hundred
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: and fifty five bucks saved for retirement. And what I
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: want to ask you is, do you know what you
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: have saved for retirement? There's two ways of thinking here.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I think that one way is very much the philosophy
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: that my my brother heeds, which is safe, safe, safe,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: put it aside. And the other is live life right now, uh,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: tomorrow is not guaranteed. Enjoy life while your time is here,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: because it could expire at any time. And I want
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: to ask you about that. How you feel about those
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: two different philosophies. This study by the National Institute of
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Retirement Security, by the way, found that among all workers
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: between the ages of twenty one and sixty four, including
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: those who haven't saved anything for retirement again, the median
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: amount saved in a defined contribution plan nine hundred and
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: fifty five bucks as of twenty twenty three. Is that
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: is that something that you think is concerning that Americans
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: don't have a nest egg or that the average has
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: a nest egg of nine hundred and fifty five bucks.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know. This is something that I would like
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: to learn more about, and I would like to hear
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: more from you about what your thought process is with this.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: If it scares you to even think about this kind
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: of stuff, I don't know. I'll tell you what it
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: has done is it's had me. It's forced me to
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: think about this, and it's forced me to ask the question,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: what do I have? What do I have other than
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: some liquid assets? What do I have put aside? Anyway,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: we'll be talking about it soon right here on aired out,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: and I am going to be looking for a professional
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: to come in here and sit on the couch and
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: break it all down. Check in sports. Tyler Reddick win
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: in the Daytona five hundred yesterday for the first time
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: with a shower of sparks behind him, the fourth driver
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: effort to do so without leading a single lap. That's amazing.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Dramatic season opener that saw plenty of action, plenty of crashes,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: some pretty good strategy that we could see on the
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: track and one of the most exciting dayton of five
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: hundreds in history, sixty five lead changes among twenty five
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: different leaders. Ricky Stenhouse Junior finished second, followed by Joey
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Logano in third. But Tyler Reddick, who was what runner
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: up last year, finally gets it. He's thrilled. Aliyah Milanin,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: who arrived in Milan, Italy as the man to beat,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: left with a teen gold medal and an eighth place
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: finish in the event that was supposed to be his
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: defining career event. I generally don't watch the figure skating
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: in the Olympics. I note that there are several several
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: people that that's all they do watch in the Olympics
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: is the figure skating, diehard fans of this stuff to
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: watch that though, which I did, to watch this twenty
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: one year old amazing skater, the quad god, who has
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: unmatched ability. To watch him fall not once but twice,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: completing just three of seven planned quadruple jumps was hard.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: It was I don't know, man. It's like, no matter
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: who it is, no matter what country they represent, what sport,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: it is to see anyone like Lindsay Vaughn too to
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: see anyone I know, I'm thinking of the same words
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: you are, the agony of defeat. That was tough to watch.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: That I felt so bad for this guy twenty one
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: years old. He said he felt like he had no control,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: describing a wave of pressure and negative thoughts that hit
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: him as he took his opening pose. He says, I
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: just felt like all of the traumatic moments in my
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: life really just started flooding my head. I just did
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: not handle them. Honestly, I still haven't been able to
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: process what just happened. Really, what a bummer, this guy
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: who seemed like he was carrying the weight and the
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: pressure just fine leading up to it. What do you think?
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: And you know, if you have empathy, you can try
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: to imagine yourself in this guy's skates, shoes, how he
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: must feel. What can we all learn from this? What
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: can we all learn about mental focus, restraint, control, not
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: caving under pressure? What about mental health? It's one thing
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: to have a strong sense of mental performance and knowing
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: how and when to turn it on. But at the
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: end of the day, as an athlete, no matter how
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: talented you are, you're still a human being. And ah, well,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: I think we have to remember that that there's something
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: that's that's much bigger here beyond an Olympic performance, beyond
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: a metal. Whether it's gold, bronze, silver, it doesn't matter.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: There's a lot to be learned here by this. A
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: lot different situation, different scenario than Lindsey Vaughn, but defeat
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: is his defeat, and man, it's got a really ugly
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: face to it, and my heart broke for this kid
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: watching that. Over the weekend, we have Canada's men's curling
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: team accused of cheating on Friday night, with Sweden claiming
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: the Canadian player Mark Kennedy touched the curling stone after
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: its release. Kennedy flipped out and responded with all kinds
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: of explicatives which I can understand, and accused the Swedes
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: of intentionally filming and premeditating the conflict. Then less than
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: twenty fi four hours later, the Canadian women's team was
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: accused of the exact same violation. Wow, things can get
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: real hot there on the ice. Holy crap, we're fighting
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: over curling. Italy. By the way, who's six and zero
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: is going to be facing Sweden in the semi finals today.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: The Italians generally don't fuck about. And I'm wondering what's
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: gonna happen between Italy and Sweden today. I'm going to
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: be trying to pay attention to that one. I saw
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: something over the weekend and I don't know if you've
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: you've heard this or seen this. I'm gonna post up
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: the link. I know there's a lot of a lot
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: of you that enjoy eating healthy. I don't know if
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: you remember girl kibble, but this was something that exploded
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: on TikTok and now it's coming back this time boy kibble.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: You know, and I know that this is the kind
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: of stuff that's shown up in feeds everywhere, especially now
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: that I'm talking about it and my phone's listening, it'll
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: be all over my phone. Historically, TikTok has really, let's
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: just be honest here, not really come up with some
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: great recipe ideas and doesn't necessarily have the best reputation
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: for eating healthy. But is this diet gonna be different?
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: This is boy kibble, and I ask you health or hype.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: It's basically you ground beef over rice to sum it up,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: maybe throw in some vegetables in there, lean protein, some carbs,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: some vegetables. I know, Jim, people have been eating this
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: stuff for ages. I understand, And I wonder if Josh
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: is listening this morning, because I know he kind of
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: does something that's similar. I don't think he calls it
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: boy kibble. I'll put up some some recipes. Matty Matheson
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: has a version of boy kibble that I'm going to
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: share with you. Yeah, the big chef there way. Do
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: you see this? It's intriguing, or at least I'm intrigued
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: by it. Maybe I'll make some of it and share
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: it on the air Friday morning with Gee. I don't know.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Vermont headlines that are trending this morning. Vermonts Day police
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: investigating what they describe as a suspicious death in the
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Orange County town of Corinth. Many of you are familiar
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: with the story. You saw it unfold Saturday night into
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Sunday morning, please say. The investigation began about eleven fifteen
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Saturday night, dispatchers received a nine to one one call
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: reporting that a man had been shot at a home
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: on Richardson Road. Troopers responded to the residents located a
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: man unresponsive inside the home. Emergency medical Services pronounced the
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: man at the scene. Authority say that death is considered suspicious.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: According to the preliminary investigation, the incident stemmed from a
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: domestic dispute involving people who knew each other. Please say
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: that everyone connected to the case has been accounted for
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: and there is no identified danger to the public. Disturbing
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: story for sure, And does that hit close to home?
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: You bet. And I don't know anything more than that
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: right there, But it's hard to hear that this kind
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: of stuff happens in our local rural communities. Our thoughts
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: and prayers are with everyone in anyone that is connected
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: to that case, that situation on Saturday night in Corinth,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: small beautiful town and good people out that way too.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: So I hope, I hope we get some more information
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: and we have some closure here and we can we
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: can find out more and help those in the area
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: that that needed. Speaking of rural communities, I saw something
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: on PTZ that got my attention. It says, year after year,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Vermont is ditching the way it gets its Wi Fi
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: with copper wires and replacing them with fiber optic cable.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: According to the Vermont Department of Public Service, cable providers
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: reported seventy three percent of Vermont Holmes access Wi Fi
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: speeds at one hundred megabits or more per second. Less
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: than one percent of communities were considered underserved. Really, there
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: are still homes that have yet to be covered, you think.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Recently the National Telecommunications and Information Administration approved of funding
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: proposal that would unlock ninety three million dollars to go
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: toward Vermont homes that are still without fiber. What was
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: that again, less than one percent of communities were considered underserved.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: That really doesn't seem accurate. I wonder who's running that survey,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: because there are still so many areas still that are
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: struggling with connectivity. And I see the trucks. I see
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: the the EAC fiber trucks. But still there's there's a
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: lot of work that needs to be done in this state.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: And let's get this ninety three mil kicked into gear
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: here and close this gap. And of course this gets
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: me thinking about and gets me worked up about sell
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: coverage in our state. And I know that the two
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: things are not really related, but it still gets me
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: worked up about it, really does. I had a friend
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: this weekend who called nine to one one and the
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: call was dropped three times because he was in a
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: rural area between Rygate and through Grotten three times on
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Route three O two. And if you're a parent, maybe
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: you've had the same thoughts that I've had that at
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: some point your young child is going to be driving
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: and might get a flat tire or something in an
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: area where there's no cell service and it's and I've heard, well,
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: you just have to make sure your kid knows how
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: to change the tire, obviously, but there's a lot more
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: to be said about this. We need universal sell coverage
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: through this whole state badly. And I'm tired of people
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: saying to me, jd Well, you've got to get at
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: and t that's the only way to go. It's the
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: only way to I'm tired of that. When I don't know,
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: I'll bite my tongue here on that. What else we
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: have going on this weekend? Burlington voters heading to the
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: polls next month can expect to see a tax increase
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: on the ballot. Did you hear about this? It's all
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: part of an effort to close a twelve million dollar
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: budget gap in the city. Aren't there concerns about affordability?
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Officials say the potential tax increase is about keeping essential
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: services fully staffed and operating. Oh Burlington leaders are urging
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: voters to support a five cent police and fire tax
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: increase on town meeting day. Five cents. Thoughts on this, feelings,
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: anything that you think other communities. I won't mention any
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: names should incorporate why or why not. We had an
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: earthquake last night near Keyesville, about ten minutes before eight o'clock,
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: two point zero magnitude, Really small, but enough that the
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: US Geological Survey received seventy calls on no damage reported.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Everybody's fine, but just on the other side of the pond,
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: and plenty of ver honors calling in too, saying something's rattling.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Not sure what's going on, but that was last night,
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: and I don't think we should be overly surprised about that,
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: because there's you know, little minor earthquakes in the Adirondecks.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say all the time, but it
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: does happen. Last night national headlines here. Savannah Guthrie took
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: to social media again another attempt to plead to the
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: kidnapper of her mother, Nancy, saying it's been two weeks
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: since she was kidnapped from her home in Tucson, Arizona,
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: eighty four years old. Yesterday, the FBI said that DNA
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: recovered from that black glove near Nancy's home appears to
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: match the glove worn by the suspect in the video.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: When I read that, I said, wait a minute, hang on,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: how do we know what the DNA of the suspect?
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Is there something that I'm missing here? Did you have
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: the same question in your mind? Or am I dropping
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: the ball here on a part of the story that
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: I should know about. I don't know. Please enlighten me.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of stuff that's super weird here. Super
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: weird doesn't smell right on so many different levels. Former
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: CNN anchor Don Lemon pleading not guilty to federal criminal
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: charges over coverage of the immigration related protests inside the
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: Minnesota church. That's one of the headlines this morning. Seven
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: US states have missed the federal deadline for a second
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: time to agree on sharing Colorado River water amid the
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: ongoing drought and shrinking water supplies. Seven states missed the deadline,
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: then they shouldn't complain. We have opening statements expected today
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: in the trial of this man whose teenage son is
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: accused of killing two students and two teachers at that
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: high school in Georgia back in September of twenty twenty four.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Y'all remember that one. The case is one of several
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: around the country where prosecutors are now trying to hold
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: the parents responsible after their children are accused of fatal shootings.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: Colin Gray, who now faces twenty nine counts, including two
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: counts of second degree murder, two counts of involuntary manslaughter,
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: and numerous accounts of second degree cruelty to children related
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: to the shooting because not only did he supply the
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: gun gave it to his son, but also the AMMO,
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: which makes me want to say, there are so many
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: parents who are so unbelievably disconnected and irresponsible with their
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: decisions and their connectivity to their own children. It's unbelievable,
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: it's sad, it's disgusting. You have to exhaust every mean
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: possible to connect with your kid, and even then tragedy
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: could happen, of course, but step up, dial in and
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: make your kid a priority. World News US military saying
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: that it struck more than thirty Islamic state targets in
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: Syria just in the last fifteen days, all in retaliation
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: for the ambush that killed two American soldiers and a
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: US civilian. When was that December? How do you feel
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: about that? Thirty targets in fifteen days. Israel is going
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: to start land registration in the West Bank for the
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: first time since the late sixties. Is this going to
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: be interesting? You bet? Can only imagine this is all
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: critics say, going to deepen control and create more intention,
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: more uncertainty. I don't know. First time since nineteen sixty
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: seven got a history unfolded right in front of us.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: Pay attention to this stuff that's happening in other parts
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: of the world before you are forced to pay attention.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: President Trump. By the way, his Board of Peace, which
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: is going to be meeting on Thursday in Washington, DC,
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: is going to be providing five billion dollars to rebuild Gaza.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Any thoughts on that do you dare? It's okay. You're
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: entitled to your opinion no matter what it is. But again,
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: the Board of Peace is meeting on Thursday in DC.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they'll be getting the pen out

  Speaker 2: talented athletes get into a cage and discuss over their
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: primal side. It is unreal. It is an electric experience.
• 54:07

• 54:34
  Speaker 2: how can I get involved? How can I do this?
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: This has got to be I don't know. Maybe for
