• 1:40
  Speaker 6: of December. Wherever they are, they're coming to Youngstown and

• 2:50
  Speaker 6: in Charlottesville. But, Frank, you'll have to help me out

  Speaker 6: with the pronunciation. Frank Giudice, I'm going to guess with that,

• 3:09
  Speaker 6: appreciate you joining in on that. So now, moving on
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: to our first things this morning, the stories we're covering
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: for you. Who remembers the company Amway? Well, they still
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: have enough money to pay a $ 225 million loan to
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: resolve allegations it recruited new members by deceptive claims. Funny
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: how on the day Virginia starts voting for deceptively worded
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: constitutional amendment ballot measures, this would happen. Amway and its
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: affiliates Worldwide Group and Leadership Team Development told potential recruits
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: they could make $ 40, 000 or more, according to the FTC,
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: without any backing for that claim. Trump administration has approved
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: potential $ 24. 3 billion sale of up to 48 F-35 fighter
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: jets to Saudi Arabia. State Department approved the potential foreign
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: military sale on Thursday. Federal judge ordered the Kennedy Center
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: to provide 30 days notice before making any major physical
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: changes to the building, including demolishing it. This says activists
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: complain as fences went up around the now shuttered facility
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: that's been losing money for decades. Another judge's ruling in Richmond,
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: Virginia has given voting rights back to 200 plus thousand
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: felons who had not petitioned for or received any interviews
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: as by Virginia law. The judge said that that law
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: is punitive and has suspended it allowing these 220,000 felons
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: to vote In this year's elections, Virginia starts voting in
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: the midterms today, and on the ballot along with the
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: congressional races is three constitutional amendments. One of them would
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: automatically give felons the voting rights back as a matter
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: of our Constitution. The U.N. 's Human Rights Council has
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: been looking into, or apparently should have been looking into,
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: whether or not the United States... committed war crimes when
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: a missile strike on February 28th killed what Iranian officials
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: say were 178 civilians. The fact-finding mission reported yesterday could be.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: We don't know.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: Film at 11. Russia and China, meanwhile, at the United Nations,
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: vetoed a U.S. resolution to extend U.N. monitoring on sanctions
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: in Iran. Rand Paul said, blocked John Kennedy's attempt to
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: pass regulations that would give tech companies a kill switch
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: for artificial intelligence. Rand Paul said it risked moving too
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: quickly into opposing restrictions before lawmakers understood the technology. And
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: those are our first things this morning.
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: Trans-Siberian Orchestra, live in concert. Experience the power and magic
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: of the ghosts of Christmas Eve, the best of TSO,

• 7:18
  Speaker 9: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: their values and what they believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: MediShare works, too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 9: It's been around for 30 years now, and members have

  Speaker 12: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
• 8:07
  Speaker 12: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected

• 9:57
  Speaker 19: Exercise is hard.
• 9:59
  Speaker 16: So is maintain.
• 10:00
  Speaker 19: A healthy diet. Of course, neither is half as hard
• 10:04
  Speaker 19: as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke
• 10:09
  Speaker 19: kill nearly a million people a year. Even sadder, most
• 10:13
  Speaker 19: of these deaths are preventable with a few lifestyle changes,
• 10:17
  Speaker 19: including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to
• 10:22
  Speaker 19: your doctor about your risk for type 2 diabetes and
• 10:24
  Speaker 19: heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen.
• 10:30
  Speaker 19: The reason so many die is because not enough are
• 10:33
  Speaker 19: willing to change. You can stop it, starting right now.
• 10:38
  Speaker 19: It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:41

• 13:58
  Speaker 6: the drummer, Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Tickets go on sale later this morning.
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: But I want to ask, because we're going to segue
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: from this, there's an amazing song that you've worked into
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: the TSO second part of the show, I believe last
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: year was the first time, but in tribute to Paul O'Neill,
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: who we've spent a lot of time talking about, the
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: The impresario that thought of all this left us too
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: soon years ago. And there's a song from Sabotage's back
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: catalog called When the Crowds Have Gone. And you guys,
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: I'm going to do it again. I bawled like a
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: little girl when you played it as TSO.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, we never figured out the rules But I'm still alive,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: my fingers feel Gonna play on till the final reels
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: And read the credits from.
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: A different book Poor Paul, and it's still on all
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: my playlists and Spotify. because it's a gut-wrenching song for
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: anyone who does anything to feel that my time is gone,
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: whether you're an accountant, a radio show host, or a drummer.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: We all think about that at some point, no matter
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: how old you are. And you spent the summer touring
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: Europe under the banner of sabotage, and I saw a
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: picture on social media that you took from behind your
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: drum kit and some amazing locales, including some ancient amphitheaters
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: and things like that. Just a quick thing before we go.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: What was all that like? And as a friend of
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: mine said, yeah, when are they going to play the
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: States under that banner? I said, I don't want them
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: playing the States under the banner if that means TSO
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: takes a year off. But some of the places you
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: guys played were incredible places.
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we actually played the amphitheater at Pompeii with a
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: full orchestra.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: That's amazing.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: This has been recorded. This has been recorded.
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: It's been filmed. And, you know, hopefully we're going to
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: do something to this maybe later next year.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: The photograph of that was just stunning. I was just
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: sitting there thinking, yeah, how many people have performed there,
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: you know, thousands of years ago before the volcanoes? And
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: that's amazing.
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: Well, I tell you, man, just walking through the tunnel
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: and walking into the venue, it just really takes you back.
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: You know, it sets you back. You go, wow, I
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: just can't believe we're here doing what we're doing. But
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: here again, Sabotage, a true testament to the music, how
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: powerful and important this is to this fan base that
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: we have all over the world. We did Pompeii. We
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: played the largest metal festival in Europe, Wacken, in Germany.
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: We played in Bulgaria, Turkey. We did a lot of
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: places that we've never played before. It really is amazing
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: that after 23 years of hiatus that we were able
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: to come back last year to sold-out shows to this
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: fan base that's never given up on us. Now the
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: fan base has grown because these people have all grown up.
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: They have families. They're bringing their kids to the shows.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: It's unbelievable.
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: And you touched on this briefly, but the American audience,
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: be patient.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: You know, we hear them. We hear everybody.
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: You've got to understand how difficult it is to do
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: these tours.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: The overhead involved is a lot more than anybody realizes.
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: So we're going to figure it out. But right now,
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: everybody just sit back and chill out, and we'll get out.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: Here at some point. You gave us something to hang
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: our hat on if there's a film out there. And
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: you mentioned we shouldn't forget the Oliva– brothers and losing
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: them as well as part of it. But I appreciate
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: what you guys have done to keep that going as
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: well and the musicianship of it. And can't wait to
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: see you here in our flagship city of Charlottesville. And
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: I hope that all my listeners in all these places
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: that we're going to give a chance to go see
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: the show bask in the amazement as well. But, Jeff,
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: thank you so much for everything. And, you know, look
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: for me. I'll be that guy backstage. You know, the
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: hair is grayer, but I'm still there with you all
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: these years later.
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: Sounds good, Joe.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: Always good to talk to you.
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: And, you know, this is the, you know, we were
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: talking about that song, and this is one of the
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: best lyrics ever.
• 19:02
  Speaker 18: You know, how many of us can say that?
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: You know, I wasted my time till time wasted me.
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know, there are lyrics in the world, obviously,
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: you know, all you need is love, whatever you want.
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: But when I heard that lyric, I just, you know,
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: I've wasted my time till time wasted me. And if
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: you've ever sat in a doctor's office or have you
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: ever been in an infusion center thinking about God, but
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: I still haven't. And we talk about this a little bit.
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: And I don't mean for it to sound nihilistic, but
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: to me, it's a motivating factor. So if you realize
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: that the one thing that the progressive medical industry wants
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: to try to convince you of is that somehow you
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: can cheat death, that somehow you don't have to go. No,
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: that's the one thing. One guarantee. So the point is
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: not to bemoan the fact that there is a checkout
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: time for all of us, is that since, as God
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: tells us in Scripture, you will not know the time,
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: don't waste any of the minutes before then. So when
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: I first heard that song, When the Crowds Are Gone,
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: I said, it's a great song all the way through
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: the whole arc, but that line, I wasted my time
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: till time wasted me, that puts it home for you.
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: Because all the, what did Shakespeare call it? The significant
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: sound and fury signifying nothing. The trumpets and the drums
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: and all of that that go on and are governmental.
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: I mean, keep in mind, we're a blink of an eye.
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: 250 years, we're a blink of an eye on the planet.
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: And the human cycle of liberty to tyranny to tyranny
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: to liberty to and and we've done it multiple times
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: through recorded history who knows how many times it happened
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: before recorded history um that we've allowed ourselves to fall
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: into the jackboot of tyranny no matter what the plausible
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: reasonings are for it we fall prey to tyranny and
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: then we have to spill our blood or our children's blood,
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: to win our liberty again. Because we know in our
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: hearts we're supposed to be free. This is why Jesus
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: was able to walk the earth and do nothing more
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: than visit with people and talk to them and win
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: them over. Because we knew it. He was not telling
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: us something we didn't believe already, that we should be free.
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: He wasn't trying to sales pitch us. He was saying, no,
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: you've been right all along. You should be free. and
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: behave in such a way.
• 22:01
  Speaker 24: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
• 22:05
  Speaker 24: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
• 22:08
  Speaker 24: at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a
• 22:12
  Speaker 24: week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes does
• 22:15
  Speaker 24: not need to be super intense. As a matter of fact,
• 22:17
  Speaker 24: it could just be you moving your body and doing
• 22:20
  Speaker 24: what you already love to do, like exercise. And a
• 22:22
  Speaker 24: stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right? It means also
• 22:26
  Speaker 24: infusing your workout routines with strength training as well. So
• 22:30
  Speaker 24: we are super excited to be launching our new plate-loaded
• 22:33
  Speaker 24: strength series in all of our gyms. It's already fitted

  Speaker 28: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 24:09
  Speaker 28: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 24:14
  Speaker 28: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 28: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 28: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 24:28
  Speaker 28: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 24:33
  Speaker 28: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:36
  Speaker 28: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 24:40
  Speaker 28: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 24:42
  Speaker 28: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,

  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: It is time. Prescribed by, well, me to check in
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: with Mac McDonald and see what he's got scribbled down
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: in his sports reporter's notebook for this Friday morning. I
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: just don't know how sports guys do it these weekends
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: because sometimes I have to write headlines down and things
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: like that. And I'm trying to get it done in
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: 30 seconds. And then it's a minute, then it's two minutes.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: It's like, I'm going to college football. It's crazy stuff.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: This with everything that's going on this weekend, as good
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: as things are. Okay. You got, you know, Carolina going
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: to Clemson. You got the Ole Miss return with Lane Kiffin.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: You You've got Virginia and West Virginia. You've got tech
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: going to Maryland with all the great stories and sidelines
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: we have to put up. And really, I feel a responsibility.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: I have to put up with another another Carolina story.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Do you remember 11 years ago, 11 years ago, bogus classes,
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: inflated grades? Let's put it this way. If I ever
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: get in whatever kind of trouble and, you know, God
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: knows what that would be. But I, you know, whatever
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: it might be, I'm calling Chapel Hill.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Never.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: And I would like to borrow an attorney from your
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: athletic department. I would like to borrow a lawyer if
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: I could, because the Carolina attorneys have to be the
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: best in the entire, you know, where they could have.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: probably convicted OJ, you know, they probably, so the results
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: from the investigation, oh, they would, they would have been
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: super probably because they have protected the Belichick's and the
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: Carolina football gun once again, because after they managed to
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, 11 years ago, with the academic thing, with
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: the African-American classes and all the athletes that were getting
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: beat up, it was amazing, never going to class and
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: having to write one paper that they got an A
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: on automatically. The lady got fired who was teaching the class,
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: if you remember what happened 11 years ago. They avoided
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: the lack of institutional control somehow in Chapel Hill. I
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: don't know how, but they did. So now this internal investigation.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: So we got sex, drugs, and NCAA issues.
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: No, man.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: Steve Belichick resigned. All right. The son of Coach Bill.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: And the statement was, quote, certain actions demonstrated a disregard
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: for Carolina's values and standards of conduct.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: Included more than 60 people. There were stories, as I said,
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: of staffers and recruits and all this going on. The
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: UNC brass said they, this was a quote, they think
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: the matter is resolved.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Of course they do.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the UNC General Counsel, Paul Newton, noted, and he
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: comes forward and goes, but the door is never closed. Now,
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: if that wasn't enough, let me throw in this before.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Pat Welter is this young reporter from WRAL who has
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: done a masterful job every day having to cover this.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: He's done a really, really good job. Okay, so two
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: players Tuesday. had a traffic stop, third ticket for speeding,
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: and a concealed weapon.
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: Oh, gosh.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: And so they were good players. They would have played
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: against Clemson, but now, of course, they're not.
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: What was the phrase they used about Steve Belichick not
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: living up to the standards of something?
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: Certain actions demonstrated a disregard for Carolina's values and standards
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: of conduct.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Gotcha.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Because the fact that he was probably passing a little
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: weed from his desk or whatever.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Allegedly.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: I'll use the word allegedly because we don't know. Pat Welter,
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: interviewed by everybody. This is a Boston radio take from
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: the reporter from Raleigh, North Carolina.
• 32:04
  Speaker 15: And ultimately what they said is that they had reached
• 32:05
  Speaker 15: a point in the evidence. where they found that they
• 32:08
  Speaker 15: had enough to take corrective action. They deemed the investigation
• 32:13
  Speaker 15: now to be over. And I think something that's important
• 32:17
  Speaker 15: to keep in mind here is that Bill Belichick has
• 32:20
  Speaker 15: not been specifically tied to a specific allegation at this point.
• 32:26
  Speaker 15: But contractually, he is— On the hook for the behavior
• 32:30
  Speaker 15: of his staff and players.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: Well, you think anyway, it's on to Clemson and we'll
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: see what happens. But it's just it's just amazing to
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: me because now they're looking into basketball recruits and they're
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: talking about the Roy Williams program. And Roy is one
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: of the greatest. one of the greatest college coaches ever
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: just from a class act and everything, but it's been following.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: So anyway, the guys, if you need an attorney, uh,
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: you know, because the Carolina is going to, you know,
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: get off of this whole thing and it's just going
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: to be a little slab.
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: Correct me if I'm wrong. Correct me if I'm wrong, Mac, but, uh,
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: Bill Belichick used to have Aaron Hernandez as his tight
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: end in New England, right? Correct. Out of Florida. Yeah.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: How did that work out?
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: Institutional memory right here. And I've read his book.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: I've read his two books. And I read the book
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: on management and winning and everything. And I get, you know,
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: his ideals, he and Saban, you know, I live and
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: die by the process. I try to teach our kids,
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: not my kids, but, I mean, the students at Dan Parrott,
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: I try to teach them about the process and how
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: it can help you if you focus on today and
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: not the ultimate.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: And having Tom Brady helps.
• 33:49
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: So I'm going to turn a page in the notebook
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: because there's an interview that I– A couple of years ago,
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: and I need to circle back. Graham Benzinger did an
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: interview with us a couple of years ago. I called him,
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: went through his PR guy. Graham Benzinger is one of
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: the smartest guys in the world. I think one of
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: the best interviewers in the world. He's got all he
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: always has these great people. And he recently interviewed Joe Gibbs.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: And now I know your love for Joe Gibbs. And
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: that's why I thought about this last night.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I got it.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: Because Joe Gibbs goes back into his life with the Redskins.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: And if you want to look up something that was
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: really neat, because You know, his first season with the Redskins,
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: he lost his first five games.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: And see, it was remember the.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Jack Kent Cooke. And he said, you know, here's my guy.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Bobby Beathard was there, you know, all these names. And
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: they declared at that time the team was going to
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: finish eight and eight, which they did. And then it
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: was the strike here the next year. But that was
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: the year that the Skins won the Super Bowl. They
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: go eight and one.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's right.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: In the regular season, and they beat the Dolphins the
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: next year, right? Well, anyway, Joe Gibbs just, you know,
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: with all he's done in his life is just win. Now,
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: you know, with his successful racing team, goes back with
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: Graham Benzinger talking about the early days of being with
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: then the Redskins.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Very close.
• 35:10
  Speaker 23: It was traumatic for our entire family. You know, Coy, JD,
• 35:13
  Speaker 23: we all moved there and started our new life.
• 35:16
  Speaker 13: I said, man, this is going to be awesome.
• 35:18
  Speaker 23: And I really didn't understand, I think, a lot about
• 35:21
  Speaker 23: getting a chance to be a head coach because I
• 35:22
  Speaker 23: looked at it as.
• 35:24
  Speaker 16: I'm going to get my chance.
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: You got the Mr.
• 35:27
  Speaker 23: Cook who had taken a gamble with me who had
• 35:29
  Speaker 23: never been a head coach. You got Bobby Bethard who's
• 35:33
  Speaker 23: putting his career on the line. And then you start
• 35:35
  Speaker 23: out 0-5. I kidded everybody. I said I was just
• 35:38
  Speaker 23: looking for a different way home at night.
• 35:40
  Speaker 27: I see.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: So anyway, it's a great interview, but you know what?
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: Hang on one second before you do the resume, you
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: know what he said there, how many of us can
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: say that about our bosses? You know, where, where, if
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: you're struggling, your concern is for the bosses who hired you.
• 35:58
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's, that's profound. I mean, that, if that
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: doesn't give you, well, I.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: Became family with two legends and you know, the names
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: I became family right away with Larry Richardson and Colin
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: Ross and, Two, you know, just legendary names in radio
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: in the state of Virginia. So, but they, and they love,
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: they love the skins. Just like, you know, we've talked
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: about it for so long. And I, so we have this,
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: and I've mentioned it before. We have a sports bar downtown,
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: New Smyrna Beach. It's called Peanuts. And that's the gathering
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: place for all the Redskins fans. I say Redskins fans
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: because they're wearing all the old jerseys. Then they say
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: after every field goal.
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: They're the new jerseys now. I mean, the team's.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Back in them.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: But they sing Hail to the Reds. The whole bar
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: is singing.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Hail to the Reds.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: It's one of the funniest things in the world. But anyway,
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: go to YouTube. Uh, Friday, you're sitting, you know, sitting
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: at work today. You want a little something to do, but,
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: but go find the Joe Gibbs interview because it's, um,
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: he's just, you know, I've read his book and he just,
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: you know, and now with a racing team and his management,
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: he's just, God, I'd like to sit down with him.
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: When you think about it, I've said this before. This
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: is a guy who's won with John Riggins and Kyle Busch.
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: Rest in peace, Kyle. But, you know, these are not
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: the kind of people who are easy to manage.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: Great point.
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: No, that's a great point. Three different quarterbacks win the
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: Super Bowl. You know, could Belichick say that? I mean,
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: you know, as Belichick's management style is like, seven-minute process
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: and have Tom Brady.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Bobby Labonte.
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what I mean. He's got all these different
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: guys winning championships. You know, and just putting the team
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: underneath them that can do it and the changes and
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: the rules and all of that.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: Anyway, have a great week. Monday's going to be fun
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: because of the overreaction Monday.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: You want two segments on Monday?
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, could we go over a half hour on Monday?
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: All right, but have a great weekend.

• 39:14
  Speaker 28: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long

• 40:49
  Speaker 25: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,

  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: We are here at our weekly meeting of the City
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: Elders Group, and wherever you are basking in the amplitude
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: or frequency modulation goodness of the program, I want you
• 44:29
  Speaker 6: to understand something. There's about eight states in the union
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: that have branches of city elders in it so far.
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: My goal is to have that be 51 states or
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: 57 states if you Remember Barack Obama and his 57-state
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: solution there. But I hope you start one if you
• 44:48
  Speaker 6: don't have one in your neighborhood. It's very easy. Kevin,
• 44:51
  Speaker 6: our host here at the City Elders of Virginia, said
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: you can e-mail him directly, kevin at cityeldersva.org. Joining us now,
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: former chair of the Freedom Caucus, but now out there
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: on the campaign trail trying to fight these lying, cheating,
• 45:08
  Speaker 6: stealing issues. constitutional amendments. He is the great Bob Good.
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Bob. How are you doing this morning, sir?
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Joe.
• 45:15
  Speaker 18: Doing well.
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: Thanks for having me again.
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: Well, I know you're doing good and doing well, pun
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: intended there. Today's program, Winsome Sears is here, as you
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: were a few weeks ago. We also have Victoria Cobb
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: is joining us from the Family Foundation on the phone
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: because it's the day we begin voting on this stuff.
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: And I cannot shake this lying, cheating Board of Elections
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: allowance for taking this language and putting it onto a ballot.
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: Aside from the offense of all the different amendments that
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: are out there, the lies that are being perpetrated under
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: the form of a ballot is almost mail fraud since
• 45:58
  Speaker 6: we send ballots to people's house, Bob. What do you
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: think on that?
• 46:02
  Speaker 22: Yes, it's illegal in Virginia to use deceptive, dishonest language
• 46:08
  Speaker 22: on a referendum on a ballot question like this but
• 46:11
  Speaker 22: there's no real teeth behind the law to bring consequence
• 46:14
  Speaker 22: to the majority party the democrat party who is perpetrating
• 46:17
  Speaker 22: this offense on the people of virginia and so that's
• 46:20
  Speaker 22: why it's so important for all of us to do
• 46:22
  Speaker 22: our best to try to get the word out to
• 46:24
  Speaker 22: inform folks that number one these amendments are on the
• 46:27
  Speaker 22: ballot they're dishonestly worded and what great harm they would
• 46:30
  Speaker 22: do if they were to pass.
• 46:32
  Speaker 6: Well, and talk about that to a great degree. I
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: know that your group, and give the website so people
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: can visit you online, the group that you're campaigning with,
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: that you're president of, to try to fight these unconstitutional amendments,
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: let's call them that.
• 46:51
  Speaker 22: Yes, virginiaconservativeaction.org, virginiaconservativeaction.org. And, of course, resources that are provided
• 46:58
  Speaker 22: to us through our website enable us to do more
• 47:01
  Speaker 22: social media ads, to print up more yard signs, to.
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: Do more information flyers.
• 47:06
  Speaker 22: We're distributing thousands around the Commonwealth to do billboards and
• 47:09
  Speaker 22: so forth because it's going to take the collective effort
• 47:12
  Speaker 22: of all of us to combat, again, the effort by
• 47:15
  Speaker 22: the Democrats to force these constitutional amendments on the people.
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: I was looking at the Virginia Public Access Project website, Bob,
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: and it looks like $ 2. 8 million have been contributed to
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: the Vote Yes campaigns to just under $ 500, 000 to the
• 47:32
  Speaker 6: aggregate Vote No campaigns. But that's where we've always been.
• 47:38
  Speaker 6: We always seem to be in that spot where we're
• 47:41
  Speaker 6: three runs down with two outs to go in the
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: ninth inning.
• 47:45
  Speaker 22: It is, and it was overwhelming the same way with
• 47:47
  Speaker 22: the same kind of dishonest language. The funding was overwhelming,
• 47:52
  Speaker 22: disproportionate back in the spring with the referendum on the gerrymandering,
• 47:57
  Speaker 22: the hyper-partisan, unfair, dishonest redistricting efforts, and yet it barely
• 48:02
  Speaker 22: passed by about 100,000 votes out of 3.1 million. Now,
• 48:05
  Speaker 22: it did pass, but it barely passed. And it would help, though,
• 48:09
  Speaker 22: if the Republican Party at large, if the state Republican
• 48:12
  Speaker 22: Party would engage on this issue and take more of
• 48:16
  Speaker 22: a robust, aggressive stance against it to defeat all three.
• 48:21
  Speaker 17: Of these amendments.
• 48:23
  Speaker 6: And I think if people get a full telling of
• 48:26
  Speaker 6: what's in these amendments, and I want to highlight this
• 48:30
  Speaker 6: for folks, this is a litmus test, Bob. I think
• 48:34
  Speaker 6: you were the first person to say this, that if
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: here in, quote, purple Virginia, they can pass amendments like this,
• 48:43
  Speaker 6: It's Johnny Bar the Door in California and Connecticut and
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: New York and Illinois and places where, I mean, this stuff,
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: you know, people probably would be surprised they weren't already
• 48:53
  Speaker 6: in the Constitution.
• 48:56
  Speaker 22: And I think it's critically important for people to understand
• 48:58
  Speaker 22: what the harm that would be done. Yes, abortion is
• 49:01
  Speaker 22: already legal in Virginia and homosexual marriage is the law
• 49:05
  Speaker 22: of the land in our country. However, this would elevate
• 49:09
  Speaker 22: abortion up to the moment of birth without restriction, without
• 49:11
  Speaker 22: any age restriction for a child to a constitutional right that, quote,
• 49:16
  Speaker 22: cannot be burdened, denied or infringed upon.
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: Directly or indirectly without consequence.
• 49:23
  Speaker 22: It eliminates parental rights to know, let alone to consent.
• 49:27
  Speaker 22: It protects those who would help a young girl have
• 49:29
  Speaker 22: an abortion without her parents knowledge. And it could make
• 49:32
  Speaker 22: criminal those who work in crisis pregnancy centers, who counsel
• 49:36
  Speaker 22: people against what's wrong with abortion. It would put in
• 49:39
  Speaker 22: the hands of Jay Jones the ability to bring consequence
• 49:43
  Speaker 22: to those who were found to be, again, burdening, infringing,
• 49:49
  Speaker 22: or denying abortion directly or indirectly.
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: And the same thing with homosexual marriage.
• 49:53
  Speaker 22: What it would do is eliminate religious freedom protection and
• 49:56
  Speaker 22: put pastors and churches and Christian businesses and organizations in
• 50:00
  Speaker 22: legal jeopardy if they're unwilling to participate in or to
• 50:07
  Speaker 22: participate in a homosexual marriage. It says that you must
• 50:11
  Speaker 22: treat equally and you cannot discriminate against marriage based on sex.
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: Well, if you think about that great case out of
• 50:17
  Speaker 6: Colorado that took forever to get to the Supreme Court,
• 50:20
  Speaker 6: but eventually the baker won, this would eliminate their ability
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: to win that battle because it would be elevated to
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: a constitutional right that you have to participate in these things.
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: I think about these folks here at Common Ground, this
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: great event space that we're in for the weekly city
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: elders meeting. They couldn't say no. But we talked to
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: a young lady who runs an organization promoting crisis pregnancy centers.
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: And she said, absolutely, this is about targeting the people
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: who run these crisis pregnancy centers who work day in
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: to try to help young ladies make a pro-life choice.
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: If they do that, they could go to jail and
• 50:59
  Speaker 6: be shut down, face fines and all of that, Bob.
• 51:02
  Speaker 6: And that's horrific to me in the United States.
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 51:06
  Speaker 22: Democrats want to put you in jail for opposing abortion
• 51:10
  Speaker 22: and for opposing homosexual marriage, for believing in biblical marriage
• 51:13
  Speaker 22: as God designed and created, for believing in the sanctity
• 51:16
  Speaker 22: of life in the womb. Democrats want to put you
• 51:18
  Speaker 22: in jail. Their model, their example is Merrick Garland. Their
• 51:23
  Speaker 22: person now is Jay Jones and prosecutors like him across
• 51:27
  Speaker 22: the Commonwealth. And Jay Jones, as we know, was revealed
• 51:29
  Speaker 22: to believe that his political opponents ought to die along
• 51:32
  Speaker 22: with their children.
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: And this is the point I was making about the
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: purple Virginia. You know, this this is ready to go.

  Speaker 6: This is ready to roll out in other places because,

  Speaker 6: you know, they want to, but they want to be
• 51:45
  Speaker 6: able to say, look, we did it where there were Republicans.
• 51:48
  Speaker 6: Glenn Young can point to all these folks to say it.
• 51:51

• 51:55
  Speaker 6: getting traction as you go around talking about this?
• 51:59
  Speaker 5: Yes, I'm speaking in different church every Sunday. I'm speaking in.
• 52:03
  Speaker 22: At midweek events, I'm speaking in Campbell County tonight at
• 52:06
  Speaker 22: a sort of a picking and grinning fish fry event
• 52:10
  Speaker 22: out in the field tonight. I was speaking at a
• 52:13
  Speaker 22: pastor's luncheon yesterday. But yeah, I'm busy almost every day
• 52:18
  Speaker 22: speaking on this issue. We're doing social media things as well,
• 52:21
  Speaker 22: trying to elevate the issue and trying.
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: To get the word out.
• 52:23
  Speaker 22: And most people don't know it's on the ballot. If
• 52:26
  Speaker 22: they do know it's on the ballot, they don't know
• 52:28
  Speaker 22: the actual harm that these amendments would do.
