  Speaker 1: We've cut the cost of radio listening by, hell, it

  Speaker 1: didn't cost anything in the first place. So let's say.

  Speaker 2: $ 1 million.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: And call it even.

  Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: Joe works at a steel mill.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: He's damn near every day. Leased for work when the
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: sun comes up.
• 0:23
  Speaker 5: Drops the kids to school and all the work.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:34
  Speaker 6: He only aims to please you.
• 0:38
  Speaker 7: Let me be your Joe. Bless you for letting me
• 0:41
  Speaker 7: be of service to you this morning.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: I want to be your Joe.
• 0:45
  Speaker 8: Every morning I get up and say, how can I
• 0:47
  Speaker 8: be your Joe? That's where we take care of business.
• 0:50
  Speaker 8: That's what we do. We gird our loins and shoulder
• 0:54
  Speaker 8: our burdens and all the other things that we say
• 0:57
  Speaker 8: as we head into Labor Day weekend. Labor Day weekend
• 1:00
  Speaker 8: is here. And I feel like there's this weird, because
• 1:04
  Speaker 8: I feel like Labor Day should have been like two,
• 1:07
  Speaker 8: three weeks ago. And here we are just getting into
• 1:12
  Speaker 8: Labor Day weekend. And understand that this is a AFL-CIO situation.
• 1:19
  Speaker 8: And it was born and capitulated out of fear of
• 1:25
  Speaker 8: seeming to be too much in bed with the industrialists.
• 1:31
  Speaker 8: that the populists of the time, they were concerned with image,
• 1:36
  Speaker 8: because go figure, politicians concerned with their image, so they
• 1:41
  Speaker 8: wanted to pay lip service to the American labor movement.
• 1:46
  Speaker 8: And I think it's important to poke around in that.
• 1:49
  Speaker 8: What has that done? What has it done for you?
• 1:52
  Speaker 8: What has it done for us? And understand that its expansion...
• 1:58
  Speaker 8: was tied to and at about the same time as
• 2:04
  Speaker 8: the advancement and the march of Marxism during the time
• 2:12
  Speaker 8: because it was that time of industrialization. And there are
• 2:16
  Speaker 8: analogous points from then to now because here we are
• 2:22
  Speaker 8: in our next revolution, which is the digital revolution, the
• 2:27
  Speaker 8: artificial intelligence, what do we do with it, what are
• 2:30
  Speaker 8: we using it for, or what is it using us for,
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: is the argument, especially amongst those who want you to
• 2:38
  Speaker 8: turn everything over to the government because the government will
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: protect you, as it always has, right? So I think
• 2:45
  Speaker 8: it's important to unpack the labor movement and what it
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: was doing at the beginnings of Labor Day. and the
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: beginnings of the Industrial Revolution versus where we are right
• 2:58
  Speaker 8: now and the technological revolutions. We're going to get into
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: some of that this morning as the world unfolds before us.
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: Here are the first things, though.
• 3:08
  Speaker 8: These are the things that have caught our attention and
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: made us say we need to talk about these stories.
• 3:15
  Speaker 8: Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to reject an
• 3:19
  Speaker 8: order by a federal judge that stops it from implementing
• 3:22
  Speaker 8: New rules regulating mail-in ballots are the access to the
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: postal service by states that haven't cleared their voter rolls
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: of people who aren't citizens and or there to vote anymore.
• 3:36
  Speaker 8: The administration filed an appeal Thursday afternoon just before mail
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: ballots were scheduled to be sent out by North Carolina.
• 3:45
  Speaker 8: Speaking of North Carolina, a funeral was held the other
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: day for a 13-year-old football player who dropped dead of
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: a coronary attack, had a heart attack at the age
• 3:55
  Speaker 8: of 13 in the middle of a football practice. The
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: parents are calling for more cardiac screening and better health
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: oversight and perhaps a rollback of when football begins. No
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: other things to look at? Two Democratic lawmakers are demanding
• 4:12
  Speaker 8: that the Trump administration release $ 40 million in electronic security
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: funding ahead of the midterm elections. The Senator Alex Padilla
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: and Congressman Joseph Morrell, Padilla of California and Morrell of
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: New York, demand that Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen
• 4:31
  Speaker 8: release the funds. Missouri Supreme Court has unanimously blocked new
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: congressional districts for this year. However, it is said that
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: a statewide vote on them must be held before next
• 4:45
  Speaker 8: year's election. Justice Department is preparing... Election monitoring efforts that
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said is unprecedented.
• 4:59
  Speaker 8: She said, we are observers similar to observers for campaigns,
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: observers for the League of Women Voters, the ACLU, and
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: other groups like that. NVIDIA, the chipmaker, is buying its
• 5:13
  Speaker 8: first AI company. NVIDIA has seen its profits go through
• 5:16
  Speaker 8: the roof as it is flourishing. one of the key
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: chip makers in artificial intelligence. They now own Hugging Face,
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: an open source clearinghouse for AI products for $ 12.
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: 9 billion.

• 9:09
  Speaker 12: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.

  Speaker 15: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:03
  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.

  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: and driving.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: If you're drinking, call a cab, a car, or a friend.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message brought to you

• 13:15
  Speaker 1: This is Independence from Virginia, again. First thing today, by
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the Talk Me.
• 13:25
  Speaker 22: So what do you charge?
• 13:26
  Speaker 19: What do you do?
• 13:27
  Speaker 14: What is it worth?
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: What is it worth to you?
• 13:29
  Speaker 9: Is it worth the same as somebody else?
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: As we go into Labor Day, this is because soft
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: core Marxism has been gripping at this country ever since
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: we allowed guys like Teapot Dome and the post-Civil War
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: Reconstructionalists start to create this regulatory state under the ideas of, oh,
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: we need to make sure the Civil War doesn't happen again.
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: So having seen the horrors in photographs for the first time.
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: We saw photographs of a war and death and destruction.
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: And so when the authoritarians marched across our stages and
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: pounded podiums saying, we need to make sure this never
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: happens again. they took more and more authority over the
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: marketplace so that the individual became less and less important
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: because you might do something that's not according to the plan.
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: And what nobody realized is that this was all being
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: done by the same people that owned the slaves and
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: now they wanted to control the business marketplace of where
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: these now free men and women would be able to
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: earn a living. They needed to regulate that. Oh, we
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: can't have these folks just making furniture for whatever somebody
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: might pay them for. We need to regulate this. And
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: some people actually were brazen enough to say things like,
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: it's for their own good. Some would point to Jefferson
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: back in the day and say, Jefferson warned us that
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: these folks had no access to education and upbringing, so
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: Just letting them free? Why, that's not fair to them.
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: So we're doing a kindness to these new freed people
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: by regulating how they can work. And the labor movement
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: was born. It was born as part of a way
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: to hide the industrialists who were now crony capitalists working
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: in the background. With the government, so, you know, while
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: that could get salty if people realized what we were doing,
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: so how about we create a labor movement and it
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: makes everyone feel like somebody is paying attention to us.
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: As we head into Labor Day, what do you charge?
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: What do you do and how much is it worth?
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: How replaceable is it?
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: These are all the actual factors in how much it
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: should cost you or cost somebody who you work for
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: to pay you. How unique are your services? How easily
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: can you be replaced? How much would it cost somebody
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: to replace you in instances? And, you know, we can
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: speak in a lot of analogies, but I mean, just
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: in the terms of this radio show, I guarantee we
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: charge less than other radio shows of its same size.
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: You know why?
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: I'm a simple man, and I pay my bills. And
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: we pay our bills, and we have wonderful friends who
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: helped us set this all up without the kind of
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: debt load that we see these nationally built networks with
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: Wall Street investors and stock market prices that are in
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: the sense.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Sense.
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: I mean, there are big corporations whose stocks in their
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: broadcast operations, they own own radio stations in every city
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: in America, and their stock is worth 50 cents, 60 cents,
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: 70 cents?
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: Really?
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: What do you do and what is it worth to
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: your community? Because that's the only guiding point to what
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: you should be paid. There were people who worked for
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: me when I ran Burger King in Floral Park, New York.
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: Our friend's Still listening out there in Greenwich. GCH gets
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: into Floral Park. So when I ran Floral Park Burger King,
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: there were people who made $ 7, $ 8 an hour. And
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: this was in 1982. You know why they made so much?
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: Because they had worked there a long time and they
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: were invaluable. They were doing the work of three other people.
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: And that's where we come to this discussion because the
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: labor movement as we celebrate it this weekend was born
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: of the industrial revolution. And the warning klaxon I want
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: to fire up this morning is the new labor movement.
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: The new labor movement of AI.
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: The technology movement that we had already had a lot
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: of the framework already built in. as computers and automation
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: started to replace jobs. So we've already built some of
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: the toolkit in. And you tell me if.
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: It's where you are.
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: I mean, have you had co-workers lose their job because
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: of automation and or artificial intelligence?
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: That when....
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: When that fear strikes, you're like, oh my gosh, might
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: get a job. And I was talking to a dear
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: friend of mine who does real estate, and apparently the
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: National Association of Realtors, you have to say it that way,
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: otherwise they come after you.
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: Don't want a dead name.
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: Was saying that there are realtors that are concerned about
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: being replaced by artificial intelligence. And I know this sounds harsh,
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: but if you can be replaced by artificial intelligence, you
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: are going to get replaced eventually.
• 19:49
  Speaker 23: And, and.
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: Couple of days ago and over the last few weeks,
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: I've used a phrase that gets people prickly, make Americans
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: great again. American exceptionalism was the idea of we could
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: choose who we worked for, based on a lot of factors.
• 20:07
  Speaker 8: Maybe we believed in the product they were making, or
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: we believed in them, or we liked their way of
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: doing things. And so we would go to work for them,
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: and we would work way harder than any other country's
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: workforce because we chose to work there, whereas a lot
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: of other countries, you don't choose to work somewhere. And
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: this is even under the onus of the labor movement.
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: But as the cronyism has become worse and worse and worse,
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: here we are 100, 150 years later, the cronyism has
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: become worse and worse. I'm not going to subject you
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: to Lee McGowan's stupid monopoly analogy from earlier in the week,
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: but the idea that there are fewer and fewer choices
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: because of less regulation?
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: Nah.
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: The more the government has tried to do to the
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: labor market the fewer jobs there have been. We have
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: four times as many people living under the poverty level
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: as a percentage of population as we did at the
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: very beginning of the war on poverty. We haven't eliminated poverty,
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: we've just added a whole lot of more people to
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: the list of the poor, so maybe it just doesn't
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: appear as you're that poor, because you're about as poor
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: as everyone else in your neighborhood. What do you do
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: How valuable is it? How replaceable is it? And if
• 21:38
  Speaker 8: the answer is too much, then you have to fix that.
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: You have to become more irreplaceable. You have to become
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: more unique in what you're able to do for your
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: employers or your customers because otherwise you will get replaced.
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: And that's not being said to be mean. As we
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: go into Labor Day weekend, it's a reminder.
• 22:01
  Speaker 21: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
• 22:05
  Speaker 21: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
• 22:08
  Speaker 21: at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a
• 22:12
  Speaker 21: week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes does
• 22:15
  Speaker 21: not need to be super intense. As a matter of fact,
• 22:18
  Speaker 21: it could just be you moving your body and doing
• 22:20
  Speaker 21: what you already love to do, like exercise. And a
• 22:22
  Speaker 21: stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right? It means also
• 22:26
  Speaker 21: infusing your workout routines with strength training as well. So
• 22:30
  Speaker 21: we are super excited to be launching our new plate-loaded
• 22:33
  Speaker 21: strength series in all of our gyms. It's already fitted
• 22:36
  Speaker 21: in 1,700 locations with the goal to have all 2,700
• 22:40
  Speaker 21: fitted by the end of 2025. So if you need
• 22:43

  Speaker 24: For decades, America's offshore oil industry has relied on Port Fouchon, Louisiana.

  Speaker 5: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,

• 28:20
  Speaker 8: i mean thank goodness the nfl doesn't decide to have
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: a week zero mac mcdonald's head would explode That's all right.

• 28:42
  Speaker 13: Well, as the Louisiana Attorney General said, it's just bacon
• 28:45
  Speaker 13: switch anyway.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: You know, so everything went on.
• 28:48
  Speaker 25: Okay.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe it was, I got a nice set of sound
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 28:53
  Speaker 13: Maybe it was linebacker Whit Weeks who plays for the
• 28:56
  Speaker 13: LSU Tigers who summed up the week better than anybody.
• 29:00
  Speaker 21: Yeah, I don't think it's really a distraction for us
• 29:02
  Speaker 21: in this building at all. And especially, I mean, with
• 29:04
  Speaker 21: the last four years, how college football has gone, you
• 29:07
  Speaker 21: kind of just got to be ready to expect anything.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so just be ready for anything.
• 29:12
  Speaker 13: Nine hours yesterday in Baton Rouge, and when the day ended,
• 29:16
  Speaker 13: Daquan Wright, Xavier Harris, and 40 other athletes were in
• 29:20
  Speaker 13: various sports.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: You can go pro, and you can come back, and
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: if you don't.
• 29:24
  Speaker 13: Make the NFL camp, I know it's a 2022 case,
• 29:28
  Speaker 13: but does this just literally open the door?
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead.
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: So, sir, Joe Thomas with the Fluvanna Review and Intelligent. So,
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: I had a question that bemused me yesterday. What happens,
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: so we have these cases. Now, you say this is
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: five for five. This is about the COVID year. But
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: you know somebody's going to extrapolate this premise out to
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: something else. What happens when the kids goes pro and
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: just doesn't like the deal. Maybe, maybe he's assigned to
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: the practice squad. He's going to get paid, but he's not,
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: he's not playing in on Sundays, you know, or, or he's,
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: you know, third on the depth chart on an NFL team.
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: Can he say, yeah, I don't like my deal. I
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: think I'm going to make more money back at, you know,
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: in Columbus, Ohio.
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: Let's just say, if.
• 30:24
  Speaker 13: He tears, if he tears example, If player A tears
• 30:29
  Speaker 13: an ACL and misses a year, but then plays two years,
• 30:33
  Speaker 13: so he played freshman year, tears his ACL sophomore year,
• 30:37
  Speaker 13: and now plays.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Junior year and senior year.
• 30:41
  Speaker 13: Because you've got to have at least three years of
• 30:45
  Speaker 13: football before you can declare for the draft.
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: That's the NFL rule.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Now he goes to camp, gets cut. It's five for five.
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: He can go back.
• 31:00
  Speaker 13: So that's one of the things that, yeah, everybody in
• 31:02
  Speaker 13: the world is going to talk about now. Now, so
• 31:04
  Speaker 13: Judge William Jordan issued the injunction. The SEC turns around
• 31:08
  Speaker 13: and sues him. That's a whole other story. But Daquan
• 31:11
  Speaker 13: Wright and Zabian Harris were cleared to play. Harris is
• 31:16
  Speaker 13: a lineman. He's not going to be ready. He's going
• 31:18
  Speaker 13: to wait for the Ole Miss game in a couple weeks. However,
• 31:22
  Speaker 13: Daquan Wright, Ready to go.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Crazy to see, just crazy to be in that situation
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: for real. But I think it was a great judge.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: He ruled in my favor, which makes him even better.
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: Do you expect to be on the roster tomorrow? Oh,
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: most definitely. Do you expect to play Saturday? Most definitely.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to be on the roster.
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: I'm going to play.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: And boy, did we have a good judge. So anyway,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: William Jordan issued the injunction.
• 31:47
  Speaker 13: And so administrators at the NCAA, SEC, and a lot
• 31:51
  Speaker 13: of the schools are now opposed to it. The injunction
• 31:54
  Speaker 13: prohibits the NCAA and SEC from punishing any school that
• 31:58
  Speaker 13: puts them on the field. And the ruling does not
• 32:00
  Speaker 13: apply to all athletes, only those named in the lawsuit.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: But, of course, there are athletes all over.
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: You have to make money for lawyers.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: They're going to sit up and take notice.
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: Lawyer employment plan.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: And so while the SEC files an appeal.
• 32:15
  Speaker 13: The Southeastern Conference filed a separate lawsuit against LSU, Kiffin, administrators,
• 32:21
  Speaker 13: athletic directors, president, you know, the cook at the training table,
• 32:25
  Speaker 13: yesterday morning asking a federal judge in Alabama to give
• 32:29
  Speaker 13: the SEC a clear path. So the SEC played its
• 32:31
  Speaker 13: cards this way. Sankey shows up in Baton Rouge to
• 32:35
  Speaker 13: testify with William Jordan and have a little morning outing
• 32:38
  Speaker 13: in the courtroom.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Well, in Alabama....
• 32:43
  Speaker 13: The SEC suits and ties got the lawsuit against LSU
• 32:48
  Speaker 13: before there was any decisions.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: We don't care how this is going to go. We're
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: going to sue. It's just that simple.
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: And somewhere at the ACC headquarters in Charlotte, they're thinking, hey,
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: we could add LSU.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:02
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 33:02
  Speaker 13: So let's forget last night that Colorado scores with a
• 33:07
  Speaker 13: minute to go and then blocks a Georgia Tech field
• 33:10
  Speaker 13: goal for the win.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Buffs 14-2.
• 33:12
  Speaker 13: Ramblin' Wreck 13. Let's just forget that. Let's talk about
• 33:16
  Speaker 13: Rutgers and UMass, all right? Rutgers, Big Ten, favored by 29,
• 33:21
  Speaker 13: a 97% chance to win.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Well, UMass pulled off the.
• 33:28
  Speaker 13: First win over a Power Four conference opponent since moving
• 33:31
  Speaker 13: up to the FBS in 2012, and it was the
• 33:34
  Speaker 13: first major conference win since 1978. And in the words
• 33:39
  Speaker 13: of Vin Scully, UMass led 24-7 at half. Oh, by
• 33:45
  Speaker 13: the way, the Minutemen got 1.5 mil to play the game. Oh,
• 33:51
  Speaker 13: and by the way, the Rutgers marketing department said, this
• 33:56
  Speaker 13: is a layup.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: We're going to have fireworks night.
• 33:59
  Speaker 13: Nobody was in the stadium for fireworks night when it
• 34:02
  Speaker 13: was all said and done.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Now, even better, this.
• 34:05
  Speaker 13: Team went 0-12 last year, did not score more than
• 34:10
  Speaker 13: 26 points.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: The final was 37-21.
• 34:13
  Speaker 13: Oh, and by the way, Pop Watson spent three years
• 34:18
  Speaker 13: in the Virginia Tech.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Program as the quarterback.
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: Oh, my gosh.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: He threw one.
• 34:22
  Speaker 13: Touchdown pass in three years in Blacksburg. He had three
• 34:26
  Speaker 13: TD passes last night. Oh, and by the way, this
• 34:30
  Speaker 13: team led 24-7 at half. So, when Bob Watson, who
• 34:35
  Speaker 13: was under the spotlight, was asked by the reporters.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: How did you know? How did you know? Take this answer.
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: Pre-game.
• 34:44
  Speaker 20: I seen a look in our guys' eyes versus their guys,
• 34:48
  Speaker 20: and I could tell they was taking it slightly.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: I was like, that was fine.
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: I understand.
• 34:52
  Speaker 21: I've been in that position where you need to hire
• 34:53
  Speaker 21: your team and Like, all right, all week, like, all right,
• 34:56
  Speaker 21: what bar are we going to go to after the game?
• 34:57
  Speaker 20: You feel me? But our guys was ready.
• 34:59
  Speaker 16: They wasn't scared.
• 35:00
  Speaker 25: And I knew what type of team we had as
• 35:02
  Speaker 25: soon as they came out that first draft. He responded.
• 35:06
  Speaker 19: Nice.
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: I like that. I like his answer, by the way.
• 35:08
  Speaker 8: You know, this is this is just one of those,
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: you know, any given free game.
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: I know we looked.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: In their eyes.
• 35:15
  Speaker 13: We know they were thinking this is going to be
• 35:18
  Speaker 13: a layup. It took me back to one of my favorite,
• 35:21
  Speaker 13: favorite stories. There's a dentist in Raleigh, North Carolina. His
• 35:24
  Speaker 13: name's Jeff Calamos. His nickname was Spade.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: No, it was not racist. His nickname was Spade.
• 35:30
  Speaker 13: And he was a wide receiver, and he wore high-top
• 35:34
  Speaker 13: tennis shoes. So they went to Purdue, Virginia at that time,
• 35:40
  Speaker 13: not a very good program, went.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: To play Purdue on the road, okay?
• 35:44
  Speaker 13: So Purdue's players ran out on the field in pregame warm-ups.
• 35:48
  Speaker 13: Virginia was out doing jumping jacks and getting ready to go.
• 35:51
  Speaker 13: And Spade looked across and told one of his teammates,
• 35:54
  Speaker 13: this is no big deal.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Purdue, the Big Ten, these guys aren't that big.
• 35:58
  Speaker 9: Well.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: That was just the kickers that ran out of the field.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: They had enough that it looked like a team.
• 36:06
  Speaker 13: Yeah, 54 points later, whatever the score was, Purdue got
• 36:10
  Speaker 13: the win. Anyway, getting back to the Rutgers game. So
• 36:14
  Speaker 13: Greg Sciano, of course, spoken like a true college coach.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Back to the drawing board.
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: They outcoached us. They outcoached me. They outplayed our players.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: We got licked tonight, and there's no other thing to
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: say about it. But there's a lot of things we
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: have to do, and we will.
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: You think?
• 36:36
  Speaker 8: Is this one of those things where the coach is like, Good.
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: This is exactly what you deserve to have happen.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's what we needed.
• 36:43
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Do you rant and rave? Do you scream?
• 36:46
  Speaker 21: No.
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: Because sometimes the team, you know, you're a Big Ten
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: school and you know why you think you are who
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: you are.
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: You rule New Jersey.
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: You know, you're the only real college that, you know,
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: people pay attention to on television in New Jersey. You're
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: the only New Jersey college that shows up on SportsCenter.
• 37:05
  Speaker 8: And so so you think you are who you are.
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: You're going to play Penn State. You're going to play
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: the Ohio State University. And, you know, maybe maybe this
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: was a good because I swear some of these preseason games,
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: these early season games against, quote, lower opponents are there
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: specifically to to shock some, you know, some of these
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: high school kids into like, oh, you need to take
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: this seriously.
• 37:28
  Speaker 14: Yeah. Yeah.
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: What was it? What was it?
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Dennis Green said the Cardinals Cardinals that year. They are
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: who they thought they were. They are who we thought
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: they were.
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
• 37:38
  Speaker 20: Playoffs.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: And then, of course, playoffs. OK, so Rutgers is out.
• 37:42
  Speaker 13: We don't have to worry about Rutgers in the CFP spot.
• 37:45

  Speaker 8: Bob Good.
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Bob.
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: Happy Labor Day Friday.
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: How are you doing, sir?
• 45:03
  Speaker 19: Morning, Joe.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Doing well.
• 45:04
  Speaker 7: Great to be with you.
• 45:05
  Speaker 8: So I wanted to ask you about Labor Day a
• 45:09
  Speaker 8: little bit. Having worked in finance, we talk about the
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: abstract of labor And ever since cronyism started to creep
• 45:18
  Speaker 8: in and mostly to protect the cronyist economy from being
• 45:23
  Speaker 8: caught out, they create this labor movement, the AFL-CIO and
• 45:29
  Speaker 8: these folks who really have done nothing to advance people's lives.
• 45:36
  Speaker 8: They often will take dues from members and then leave
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: them without work and things like that. But I look
• 45:44
  Speaker 8: back at the history of the establishment of the labor
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: movement during the Industrial Revolution, and I wonder, as we
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: look at the technological revolution, are we going to see
• 45:53
  Speaker 8: a different kind of labor movement start and perhaps even
• 45:58
  Speaker 8: a more dire one, a more Marxist one than the
• 46:01
  Speaker 8: one we even have?
• 46:02
  Speaker 7: What do you think?
• 46:04
  Speaker 20: Well, Joe, as you may recall, I served on the
• 46:06
  Speaker 20: Education and Labor Committee all four years during my time
• 46:09
  Speaker 20: in Washington.
• 46:09
  Speaker 19: That's right.
• 46:11
  Speaker 20: And I was the chair my last two years on
• 46:13
  Speaker 20: the subcommittee on health, employment, labor, and pensions, HELP, health, employment, labor,
• 46:20
  Speaker 20: and pensions. And when I ascended to that position my
• 46:23
  Speaker 20: second term, the radical leftists attacked me and said, hey,
• 46:28
  Speaker 20: we've got the most anti-union guy in Congress who is
• 46:33
  Speaker 20: now the chair of the committee that has jurisdiction over
• 46:36
  Speaker 20: labor policy. And they meant that as an attack and
• 46:40
  Speaker 20: as a slight and a criticism, of course.
• 46:42
  Speaker 19: And my team and I, we trumpeted that.
• 46:45
  Speaker 20: We took their attacks in social media and broadcast them
• 46:48
  Speaker 20: ourselves because, to my knowledge, I was the only member
• 46:52
  Speaker 20: of Congress who openly and explicitly and definitively declared how
• 46:58
  Speaker 20: much I was against labor unions, how I believe they
• 47:01
  Speaker 20: have outlived their usefulness and have long ago helped to
• 47:05
  Speaker 20: right the wrongs and the ills that plagued our workforce policies,
• 47:11
  Speaker 20: our labor policies, if you will, in the U.S. 150
• 47:14
  Speaker 20: years ago or whenever those times existed, and how much
• 47:18
  Speaker 20: harm that unions are doing now with hurting artificially inflating costs,
• 47:25
  Speaker 20: hurting our competitiveness, saddling companies, large companies in particular, with
• 47:31
  Speaker 20: the inability to compete and to survive and to to
• 47:35
  Speaker 20: do the things that we need them to do or
• 47:37
  Speaker 20: that they need to ultimately do particularly that's prevalent in
• 47:40
  Speaker 20: our auto.
• 47:40
  Speaker 19: Industry as you know sure oh my gosh labor unions.
• 47:43
  Speaker 20: Have long outlived their usefulness and become a harm plus
• 47:47
  Speaker 20: they create this you can't overstate the negative impact of
• 47:51
  Speaker 20: an us versus them mentality in the workplace that management
• 47:55
  Speaker 20: and ownership is against you and trying to harm you
• 47:58
  Speaker 20: if it weren't for these union bosses standing in the
• 48:01
  Speaker 20: gap for you how much harm these These companies were
• 48:04
  Speaker 20: perpetrated upon their workforce because they don't want satisfied, happy, healthy,
• 48:09
  Speaker 20: fulfilled workers that are loyal to the organization. Of course
• 48:13
  Speaker 20: they don't want that. So that's why we need labor unions. And,
• 48:16
  Speaker 20: you know, there's this line of demarcation where, you know,
• 48:20
  Speaker 20: you're crossing the management. You become part of the enemy.
• 48:23
  Speaker 20: You become, you know, part of the man keeping down,
• 48:26
  Speaker 20: you know.
• 48:27
  Speaker 19: The people, if you will.
• 48:28
  Speaker 20: It's a very terrible, unhealthy thing. And I stood against
• 48:32
  Speaker 20: unions and openly and explicitly declared.
• 48:35
  Speaker 19: How much harm they're causing.
• 48:36
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, we talk about American exceptionalism and how
• 48:39
  Speaker 8: our economy was so amazing during the 40s, 50s. You know,
• 48:42
  Speaker 8: we won the war and then we created more prosperity,
• 48:46
  Speaker 8: more prosperous families than ever before on the planet based
• 48:50
  Speaker 8: on the fact that we could choose who we worked for.
• 48:53
  Speaker 8: And that vibrant marketplace of a lot of choices led
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: us to work harder than anyone else on the planet
• 49:00
  Speaker 8: because we bought in. I went to work for somebody
• 49:03
  Speaker 8: because I liked what you made, I liked who you were,
• 49:07
  Speaker 8: because most of us are not going to invent, quote,
• 49:09
  Speaker 8: the better mousetrap, but we can sure choose to work
• 49:12
  Speaker 8: for the guy who did. And I think this cabal
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: of the unions and the K Street lobbyists have created
• 49:20
  Speaker 8: such a lack of choice right now that they're fearful
• 49:26
  Speaker 8: of anything that creates entrepreneurialism, creates this wild, wild west
• 49:33
  Speaker 8: where you can go work for yourself. Bob Good doesn't
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: need He can go and start a podcast and feed
• 49:39
  Speaker 8: his family without having to go work for someone else.
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: And that scares them, I think, Bob, because I think
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: AI and technology has created a scenario.
• 49:50
  Speaker 7: Where we can do for ourselves again.
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: And they're trying desperately to come up with ways to
• 49:57
  Speaker 8: stop that.
• 49:59
  Speaker 7: What should we be watching for?
• 50:01
  Speaker 19: You're exactly right.
• 50:02
  Speaker 20: You have to look no further than when the Democrats
• 50:04
  Speaker 20: last had control in Washington, how they passed the PRO Act,
• 50:08
  Speaker 20: voted for by all Democrats, including Abigail Spanberger, our current governor.
• 50:14
  Speaker 19: But the PRO Act would.
• 50:16
  Speaker 20: Have essentially forced unionization all across the country, eliminated right
• 50:21
  Speaker 20: to work all across the country. So states like Virginia
• 50:24
  Speaker 20: would have suffered. Red states, which are prospering under right
• 50:29
  Speaker 20: to work laws, would have been forced into Democrat-like policies,
• 50:34
  Speaker 20: blue state policies that would have essentially eliminated any ability
• 50:38
  Speaker 20: for an employer to resist the formation of a union.
• 50:42
  Speaker 20: An employer would be forced to embrace a union or
• 50:45
  Speaker 20: close their doors, quite frankly. And the American people have
• 50:48
  Speaker 20: voted essentially with their feet as red states have grown
• 50:52
  Speaker 20: and prospered and blue states have shrunk and so forth.
• 50:55
  Speaker 19: We've got these union laws that are in place.
• 50:58
  Speaker 20: And now you've only got 6% or 7% of the
• 51:00
  Speaker 20: workforce that is part of a union, 6% or 7%
• 51:03
  Speaker 20: are part of a union. And so they have less
• 51:07
  Speaker 20: power than ever apart from the help of the Democrats.
• 51:10
  Speaker 20: And you can also look, Joe, at what happened again
• 51:12
  Speaker 20: while Democrats had power with how the teachers' unions put
• 51:17
  Speaker 20: their interests ahead of children with the way they implemented
• 51:21
  Speaker 20: and executed the COVID policies.
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: I think we should also point out that that 6%
• 51:25
  Speaker 8: or 7%, if I'm not mistaken, are mostly government union
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: workers now. They're not private sector unions. These are folks
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: like SEIU and AFSCME and these government employees who they
• 51:39
  Speaker 8: don't have to worry about their employer going out of business,
• 51:42
  Speaker 8: do they?
• 51:44
  Speaker 7: Great point.
• 51:44
  Speaker 19: Thanks for bringing that up.
• 51:46
  Speaker 20: It ought to be illegal for government employees to organize
• 51:51
  Speaker 20: against the taxpayer, against the interests of those who pay
• 51:54
  Speaker 20: their salary When you make the decision to go work
• 51:57
  Speaker 20: in the public sector, you give up some rights that
• 52:02
  Speaker 20: you would have in the private sector in that sense
• 52:04
  Speaker 20: because you're not– it's no longer a free enterprise system.
• 52:07
  Speaker 20: You're actually milking the taxpayer, and they ought not to
• 52:10
  Speaker 20: be able to organize against the taxpayer when they're a
• 52:12
  Speaker 20: federal or government employee.
• 52:14
  Speaker 8: Not your traditional Labor Day weekend treaties, but that's why
• 52:19
  Speaker 8: we love Bob Good. Good for America is his podcast.
• 52:23
  Speaker 8: We only have a second here before the news comes.
• 52:25
  Speaker 8: What do you have coming up this week? But I
• 52:27
  Speaker 8: do want to talk about some other things with you.
• 52:30
  Speaker 19: Well, there's so much to talk about.
• 52:32
  Speaker 20: And, you know, I sort of resist following this for
• 52:35
  Speaker 20: a while, but it's become, you know, all encompassing now,
• 52:38
  Speaker 20: this Clancy trial thing. And what I'm struck by is
• 52:41
  Speaker 20: how it illustrates the moral divide.
• 52:44
  Speaker 19: In our country, the divide on the value of life.
• 52:47
  Speaker 20: The preciousness of life in a country where half the
• 52:49
  Speaker 20: people think it's OK.
• 52:50
  Speaker 19: To kill your.
• 52:51
  Speaker 16: My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my
• 52:54
  Speaker 16: leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:55
  Speaker 27: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
• 52:58
  Speaker 27: weightlifting champion.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: I'm Sam.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: I'm a veteran.
• 53:02
  Speaker 18: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
• 53:04
  Speaker 18: of and supporting my family.
• 53:06
  Speaker 14: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
• 53:09
  Speaker 14: of their lives.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: I'm a veteran. My victory was going from homeless to home.
• 53:14
  Speaker 14: At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get
• 53:18
  Speaker 14: the benefits they've earned.
• 53:19
  Speaker 15: I'm a veteran, and my victory was finishing my education.
• 53:23
  Speaker 14: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support
• 53:27
  Speaker 14: for victories great and small.
• 53:29
  Speaker 16: My victory was proving that disability is not a limitation.
• 53:33
  Speaker 15: My victory was getting my service dog a new best friend.
• 53:36
  Speaker 14: We help more than a million veterans every year as
• 53:38
  Speaker 14: they face and conquer their challenges.
• 53:41
  Speaker 18: My victory is being able to be there for my family.
• 53:44
  Speaker 14: When America's veterans win, we all win. Help us support
• 53:47
  Speaker 14: more victories for veterans.
