• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: our state are like super overblown.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: And if you know the ones that.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Leave, like by first thing today on the Talk media
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Network by Joe Thomas, George.
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: Said, steal me.
• 0:18
  Speaker 5: At least for work.
• 0:20
  Speaker 6: When the sun comes up, drops a pet to school,
• 0:25
  Speaker 6: Joeys eying.
• 0:26
  Speaker 7: Dream do all the needs the one that Joe's smile
• 0:32
  Speaker 7: he only is.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: See, that's a bad Marxist right there.
• 0:42
  Speaker 8: That's what happens when you have one party rule in
• 0:45
  Speaker 8: a city for too long. That's Seattle's mayor, you know,
• 0:50
  Speaker 8: forgetting that you know of Marxist needs millionaires just as
• 0:54
  Speaker 8: much as the capitalist does. You know, somebody has to
• 0:57
  Speaker 8: pay the bills for all the social programs and and
• 1:00
  Speaker 8: everything like that, and so failing to have those, then
• 1:08
  Speaker 8: of course you wind up taxing the middle class, who
• 1:11
  Speaker 8: you've been vilifying all along every way, because they're the
• 1:14
  Speaker 8: mean people that make you go to work. They own
• 1:21
  Speaker 8: the store that you work at. Who were they to
• 1:24
  Speaker 8: own this store? These are the same nitwits that, if
• 1:29
  Speaker 8: not challenged more frequently, start thinking that people start businesses
• 1:33
  Speaker 8: simply to make jobs, because they wouldn't know what a
• 1:38
  Speaker 8: business person has to do anyway. We'll also talk about this.
• 1:42
  Speaker 8: So Amy Klowood Chars jumped into the Minnesota governor's derby
• 1:47
  Speaker 8: and a Republican has bailed out of.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: The race.
• 1:53
  Speaker 8: Because she says, I don't see a path. My consultants
• 1:57
  Speaker 8: with my people say they don't see a path to victory.
• 2:04
  Speaker 8: And this is what happened to Virginia Seattle. The Republican
• 2:09
  Speaker 8: Party of Virginia was trying to mount a campaign against redistricting,
• 2:13
  Speaker 8: yet the Republican National Committee felt it was more important
• 2:17
  Speaker 8: to give ten million dollars to the primary so John
• 2:24
  Speaker 8: Cornyn can run more ads against Attorney General Paxton. But
• 2:32
  Speaker 8: they didn't have any money for Virginia. And it's not
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: because they didn't have any money. They have more money
• 2:37
  Speaker 8: than anyone politically right now. They just decided that Virginia
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: wasn't worth it, and I'm sorry if that hurts people's feelings.
• 2:45
  Speaker 8: That was the calculus that it didn't matter whether Virginia
• 2:51
  Speaker 8: had a chance in hell of winning the referendum. They
• 2:56
  Speaker 8: didn't want the fight, so they did the math said
• 3:00
  Speaker 8: we're out of here. We'll get into that this morning.
• 3:06
  Speaker 8: Also deceptive language, again we talked about earlier in the
• 3:10
  Speaker 8: program how districts have to be drawn in a certain
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: way so that Democrats can win them. They also then,
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: failing that use deceptive language. But the search continues for
• 3:22
  Speaker 8: shooters that took potshots from the woods at a party
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: in Oklahoma City near Arcadia Lake.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Twelve people in the.
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: Hospital this morning after the shooting that happened about nine
• 3:34
  Speaker 8: last night. No arrests made and the manhunt continues. Meanwhile,
• 3:40
  Speaker 8: manhunts and Amarillo, Texas.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: For a shooter or shooters.
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: That started open firing on an apartment complex around two
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: Saturday morning. Police are asking any residents to look at
• 3:57
  Speaker 8: doorbell cameras and surveillance cameras. The US Army is still
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: looking for two soldiers who went missing in Morocco on
• 4:06
  Speaker 8: a recreational hike at the end of the day's exercises,
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: according to a US Defense Department official who spoke to
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: the Associated Press under the condition of anonymity. Iran has
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: sent a new proposal to the United States to settle
• 4:23
  Speaker 8: the issues between the two countries. President Trump said he's
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: reviewing it but isn't holding out hope. Opak nations have
• 4:30
  Speaker 8: agreed to an oil output hike for June as news
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: rattled through the world that the United Arab Emirates left
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: the group. As of May one, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: says that energy prices are expected to decline later this year.
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: Speaking on Sunday Morning Futures, Bessons said oil prices could
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: fall once the conflict in Iran subsides. Pennsylvania Governor Josh
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: Shapiro is facing scrutiny over a report that he went
• 5:06
  Speaker 8: to a key backer the I'm sorry, we just lost
• 5:16
  Speaker 8: the screen there. The governor had asked fire the firefighters Union.
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: That's the union he went to. He went and asked
• 5:24
  Speaker 8: the firefighters Union to back a Republican candidate, Stacy Gaarerty
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: over Democrat Aaron McClelland in a race. Alabama's General Assembly
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: meets today to begin redrawing state congressional districts. Mississippi may
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: do the same in a couple of weeks. Florida has
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: passed THEIRS and the governor has signed it. However, Georgia
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: and South Carolina have determined they won't because primary voting
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: had already begun in those states, and said one twenty

• 7:09
  Speaker 9: when it comes to healthcare, and that is meta share,
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: you get both. Many families save five hundred bucks a

  Speaker 13: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.

  Speaker 13: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
• 10:24
  Speaker 13: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 13: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 13: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,

  Speaker 3: independence from Virginia again. First Thing Today by Joe Thomas
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: on the Tunk Media Network.
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: So you gotta be So here's my question for the Republicans.
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: What are you saving the money for? Is it to
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: weigh in on primary elections where the stand up guys
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: in your particular organization need a bailout against insurgent conservative
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: like Paxton. Because when Republicans are bailing in Minnesota, Minnesota
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: a state you know, bless our friends out there. You
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: know on kd iz if you can't make a case
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: for a Republican to win in Minnesota, ilhan Omar is
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: facing a deadline on the two hundred and fifty million
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: dollar nutrition scam that led to the you know, the
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: Leering Center feeling like she's probably under attack like nobody
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: has seen since World War eleven. I'm sorry it was
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: a cheap shot, but it's worth every penny. And Republicans
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: are bailing on the governor's race in Minnesota because the
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: Republican Party doesn't think there's a path victory.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Based on what.
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: I would love to because I've heard this before, Mitt
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: Romney bailed on Virginia after several of my friends, dear friends,
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: you know, big local business people contributed went all in
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: on Mitt Romney's twenty twelve presidential run, only to have
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: the Republican Party and Mitt Romney's campaign saying, yeah, you
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: know what, we don't think we can win Virginia, so
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: we're pulling out in August. They pulled out in August,
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: and they took all their money with them, saying we
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: don't see a path to victory. You know what, The
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: only thing I know about victory is the only way
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: to secure a victory is to be in the game.
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: And we talked about this politically speaking, not that I
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: care one way or another about either political party, but
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: right now they're the ones with the guaranteed ballot access.
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: So and we talked about how they've gerrymandered their districts
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: into making them completely unwinnable. And the peril that Virginia's
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: Democrats have gone into is such in an effort to
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: make Eric Holder happy, they've taken districts that were forty
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: percent more Democrat than Republican and stretched them into two percent.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: Maybe three if the voter turnout's right.
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: I think Virginia, if the Supreme Court falls on its
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: head or decides the doggate its homework and leaves these districts,
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: could see a Republican insurgency if they don't blame the
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: Republican Party for allowing it to happen. But all these people,
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: they're taking authority already away from you and me. We
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: should have districts surrounding our communities and only our communities,
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: not communities three hours drive away. But that's where we
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: are now. And on top of the gerrymandering, then then
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: when they bring something out to the world, they use
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: deceptive language. Josh Hertzler from the Family Foundation and the
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: Founding Freedom's Law Center talking about some of this deceptive
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: language and something as simple as abortion, how do you
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: know you don't want to tell the truth about what's
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: really going on there.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: John.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: You can agree or disagree on whether it's a good policy,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: but I think we should all agree that if you're
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: going to go to the polls and you're going to
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: read the question about here's how we're going to change
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: our amendment, people should be given the truth. And the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: things that I'm about to say are all things that
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: you would not know if you read the ballot question.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: So this amendment would eliminate parnal notification and consent before
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: a minor has an abortion. It would eliminate parental notification
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: and consent before a minor undergoes a sexual sterilization procedure,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: which often occurs in transgender related surgeries, so parental consent
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: notification is gone. It would allow any person, not just
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: someone who's licensed medical professional, to do an abortion, so
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: back all abortions are a thing again, and that person
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: cannot be penalized by the state. It will eliminate Virginia's
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: statutory rape laws because it eliminates any sense of age limitations.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: It will effectively eliminate all reasonable health and safety standards
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: for abortions. It will get this it will allow for
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: probably require sexual conjugal visits for prisoners now because it
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: just becomes a fundamental right for everyone.
• 18:53
  Speaker 21: And lastly, I'll.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Mention it doesn't allow Virginia to regulate anything regarding the
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: assisted reproductive technology industry, such as sarahenacy or human genetic engineering,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: the creation of designer babies, all of these new emerging technologies.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: There there will be no guardrails on any of this,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: and it will be a fundamental right to do whatever.
• 19:17
  Speaker 21: You want with that embryo.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: So we're very concerned. These are again, all the things
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: that I mentioned are things that are true about the amendment,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: but the voter would never know if they read the ballot.
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: So how do they hide some of these horrific ideas?
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: I mean, this is straight out of Eldous Huxley. I
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: mean this is science fiction here. So you know, J Jones,
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: the Attorney General, you know, said issued in a statement
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: said reproductive healthcare is still healthcare. And I see how
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: they're parsing their words, and and you know, even his
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: response is deceptive. How do they hide this kind of stuff?
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: What is is this fairness? Come back? Is this sexual fairness?
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: How do they bury this so that the voter doesn't
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: know what they're voting A or NA for.
• 20:09
  Speaker 21: Well, if we look, if we consider them in the
• 20:11
  Speaker 21: most positive way, you might say that some of this
• 20:15
  Speaker 21: they have not contemplated, they have not thought through all
• 20:18
  Speaker 21: of the consequences.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: And that may be true for some of them. Well, look,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: these people also know what they're doing when they write words.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: When they create a new fundamental right to quote reproductive freedom,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: and then they don't define what reproductive freedom is. They
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: just leave it wide open to be anything relating to reproduction.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: And they and then they say, you know, they define
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: what a basically strict scrutiny is within the definition, and
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: they say, you know, you can't regulate it for virtually
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: any reason at all. They know what they're doing. It's
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: really disheartening. And again, part of the reason for this
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: lawsuit is so that we can educate people about those
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: things they're actually doing.
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: Well, Josh, And one of the things when you talk
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: about the right to reproductive freedom, what does that do
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: to a rape prosecution? I mean, if I can, if
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: I can claim that I have the right to reproductive freedom.
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: This is the same thing I said when I said,
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: you know you have a right to an apartment. You
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: have a right to a place to live. Well, okay,
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: how does that get adjudicated? It's just like they talk about,
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: you have a right to fairness. What's the what does
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: the criminal code look like? What is what is defined as?
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: What is unfair? And whose job is it to provide
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: the fairness? And can I be arrested for not providing
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: housing to somebody even if I was never asked for it? Really,
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: like you said, the ambiguity is, you know, stun an ox.
• 21:56
  Speaker 8: It's so profoundly, you know, gobsmacking this idea.

  Speaker 28: The you know, the Celtics throwing up on their shoes,
• 30:03
  Speaker 28: I mean, you know, the Pistons finally you know, getting
• 30:05
  Speaker 28: win on side. So with everything going on, but there
• 30:07
  Speaker 28: was probably the greatest thing had to be.
• 30:11
  Speaker 14: Uh.
• 30:11
  Speaker 28: And I know it's a horse golden tempo from last
• 30:15
  Speaker 28: to first to give Sherry Devaux her first training win
• 30:19
  Speaker 28: at the Derby, first woman to win the Derby as
• 30:23
  Speaker 28: a trainer ever fifty years.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: So I mean it's pretty good all right.
• 30:27
  Speaker 28: On top of that, every year I wait for you know,
• 30:31
  Speaker 28: I hear some of the race. But the derby is
• 30:32
  Speaker 28: that Travis Stone is an accomplished play by play horse guy,
• 30:37
  Speaker 28: and I downloaded the whole room. We're not gonna listen
• 30:39
  Speaker 28: to the whole through mant, We're just gonna listen to
• 30:40
  Speaker 28: the finish. But Travis Stone is so good, and I
• 30:44
  Speaker 28: did there were you know, I wanted to call a
• 30:47
  Speaker 28: horse race at some point. I wanted to call because
• 30:50
  Speaker 28: I had the art for him. And he's got this,
• 30:53
  Speaker 28: you know, because we just love play by play. But
• 30:56
  Speaker 28: he's got a it's like a reporter's notebook attached to
• 30:59
  Speaker 28: his chest on up. Remember the old microphones we used
• 31:02
  Speaker 28: to wear where we used to have the harness around
• 31:03
  Speaker 28: our neck and then the mic would kind of sit up,
• 31:06
  Speaker 28: you know, you remember, remember those.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: Horse That's what he has.
• 31:09
  Speaker 28: He's got binoculars, and he's got because I'm I'm just
• 31:13
  Speaker 28: intrigued to watching him. He's all alone in the booth,
• 31:16
  Speaker 28: and he's got this pad of paper sitting right below
• 31:19
  Speaker 28: his chin that sticks out a little bit like a
• 31:21
  Speaker 28: reporter's notebook, and it's got all the information of the
• 31:24
  Speaker 28: horses whatever. He doesn't really he's got a law memorized
• 31:27
  Speaker 28: and then he's got his spotting board on a table
• 31:31
  Speaker 28: next to him, but he really doesn't have a chance
• 31:32
  Speaker 28: to It's like doing basketball. If you we tell our
• 31:35
  Speaker 28: guys all the time, if you're looking down at names,
• 31:37
  Speaker 28: you're gonna miss two plays, you know, So you've gotta
• 31:40
  Speaker 28: you gotta know your stuff.
• 31:41
  Speaker 27: Well.
• 31:41
  Speaker 28: Anyway, the Finnish Troutlestone golden tempo.
• 31:46
  Speaker 29: Handan Bourban trying to fend off Selly renegade and here's
• 31:50
  Speaker 29: golden tempo gold then tempo from off the pace to
• 31:54
  Speaker 29: win the derby and the career defining a racing defining wino.
• 32:01
  Speaker 28: Yeah, so anyway, a lot of and they, you know,
• 32:04
  Speaker 28: they made a big deal out of it. But she's
• 32:06
  Speaker 28: from sarah Tooga, New York. She grew up her own horses.
• 32:08
  Speaker 28: She was immersed in med school but didn't embrace the paths.
• 32:12
  Speaker 28: She called herself a wild child. She partied like crazy,
• 32:15
  Speaker 28: and she she didn't want to take organic chemistry.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: She told her visor, I'm done. She's gonna go I'm done.
• 32:20
  Speaker 28: With med school whatever, and her mom said, what are
• 32:23
  Speaker 28: you gonna do?
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: She goes, well, I don't know.
• 32:26
  Speaker 28: She goes, well, there's a barn across the street, why
• 32:28
  Speaker 28: don't you start like walking horses or doing something like that.
• 32:31
  Speaker 28: So anyway, she took the suggestion ran with it, and
• 32:35
  Speaker 28: so she met a guy with the name of Chuck
• 32:38
  Speaker 28: Simon who was a legendary trainer. He died a couple
• 32:40
  Speaker 28: of years ago from cancer, and so Simon set these
• 32:43
  Speaker 28: boundaries for Devaux, and Shari got her license in twenty nineteen,
• 32:47
  Speaker 28: won her first race in her twenty ninth start. Since then,
• 32:51
  Speaker 28: three hundred wins, including the twenty twenty four Breeders a mile. Yeah,
• 32:55
  Speaker 28: Devau has managed twenty one wins this year prior to
• 32:59
  Speaker 28: the Derbys. So to say that, you know, she was
• 33:02
  Speaker 28: the first time, yeah, a twenty three to one shot
• 33:06
  Speaker 28: from last to first to win.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was pretty good.
• 33:10
  Speaker 30: I started my career here twenty two years ago as
• 33:13
  Speaker 30: a bright eyed, bushy tailed exercise rider, and I would
• 33:16
  Speaker 30: not believe that I would be sitting up here today,
• 33:20
  Speaker 30: Never in my life I think I would. And Chuck
• 33:23
  Speaker 30: I am here because of him, because he pushed me.
• 33:26
  Speaker 30: He pushed my boundaries, he gave me direction. He was
• 33:29
  Speaker 30: always proud of me. But I just think this definitely
• 33:31
  Speaker 30: would have put him over the top.
• 33:32
  Speaker 28: And there was a YouTube video somebody took her at
• 33:35
  Speaker 28: the rail. You know, she's watching it, like the emotion change,
• 33:38
  Speaker 28: you know, especially if it's your horse.
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: Okay, that's well, you know, and you know there's a
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: great overhead shot. I think that must have been a
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: drune or something. You ever had that overhead shot of
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: the race. I mean it's not like he's you know,
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: half a lap down. I mean he is at the
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: back of the pack.
• 33:54
  Speaker 28: I got it, But I mean the turn and then
• 33:57
  Speaker 28: taking the outside now it's you know, it's it's pretty.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: And he did it in a short period. It was
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: like one corner.
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: And it was last you know, rounding clip turn three
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: and by the time the fish like gammy, it was first.
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: I said, this guy must have just been catfishing.
• 34:11
  Speaker 28: Everyone and Bill Belichick was there and so they interviewed
• 34:14
  Speaker 28: him and he says, well, I guess it's.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: On to Pimlical.
• 34:18
  Speaker 28: I guess it's on to Baltimore. All right, So here's
• 34:20
  Speaker 28: the other story of the coffee this week, And just
• 34:22
  Speaker 28: prepare yourself because Joe, you you love to talk finances
• 34:26
  Speaker 28: and college eles or whatever.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: Amazon I ran this as a headline this morning.
• 34:31
  Speaker 28: Amazon has partnered with Duke to air three Marquee men's
• 34:35
  Speaker 28: games during the twenty six to twenty seventh season. Okay,
• 34:39
  Speaker 28: it marks the first time a major collegiate program has
• 34:42
  Speaker 28: signed an exclusive streaming deal with the streaming service. For Amazon,
• 34:46
  Speaker 28: it's the first venture into college sports. And now for Duke,
• 34:49
  Speaker 28: it becomes a huge recruiting tool for the overseas market.
• 34:53
  Speaker 28: Now they got Yukon in Vegas, Michigan, Madison Square Garden
• 34:57
  Speaker 28: in December, and the Gonzaga in February. All right, so
• 35:00
  Speaker 28: three really really.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: Good matchups for them. Okay.
• 35:03
  Speaker 28: The partnership not only expands the reach of Duke's basketball program,
• 35:07
  Speaker 28: but it creates the nil opportunities to the tune of
• 35:10
  Speaker 28: And this is what they can do now they can take.
• 35:13
  Speaker 28: It's like the twenty two million dollar hit normally for
• 35:17
  Speaker 28: name image lightness for the basketball program. Amazon provides now
• 35:21
  Speaker 28: this funding because they see they don't have to share this.
• 35:25
  Speaker 28: They don't have to share it with the ACC. This
• 35:28
  Speaker 28: is a non ACC network.
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: Deal, right because these are non games, these are out
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: of league games.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: Wow, yeah, I mean.
• 35:38
  Speaker 28: Correct, Amazon did not buy I'll just make this point quick.
• 35:40
  Speaker 28: Amazon did not buy the games from the ACC. The
• 35:43
  Speaker 28: service went straight to Duke Duke and Amazon cut the deal.
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: What about the other schools? I mean, if I'm a Gonzaga.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: They're behind right now. What's going on here?
• 35:54
  Speaker 28: So everybody's having a meeting this morning, the ad Carlo,
• 35:59
  Speaker 28: you know, they're all having the meetings this morning, going damn, what.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: Are we gonna do?
• 36:03
  Speaker 27: Where?
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: Where are we going to cut that deal? What streaming service?
• 36:06
  Speaker 28: So don't be surprised if U v A three games
• 36:09
  Speaker 28: on Hulu coming up with you know, because and the
• 36:12
  Speaker 28: a c C will probably have to step in. My
• 36:14
  Speaker 28: guess on the outside looking in, the a CC is
• 36:16
  Speaker 28: gonna have to step in and go whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. Okay,
• 36:19
  Speaker 28: let's let's back off here. Yeah, you know, when we
• 36:24
  Speaker 28: we share our network funding, we share our n Cuba funding,
• 36:28
  Speaker 28: we share all the money that you know they make
• 36:30
  Speaker 28: from postseason play. So now we're but this was a
• 36:34
  Speaker 28: direct marketing deal. When does marketing stop? And when does
• 36:38
  Speaker 28: you know, uh, network rights begin of the way this
• 36:42
  Speaker 28: is put together? And so but Amazon, so again, I repeat,
• 36:46
  Speaker 28: Amazon did not cut this deal with the a CEC.
• 36:49
  Speaker 28: They cut the deal with Duke, and Duke says, all right,
• 36:51
  Speaker 28: we got three games. You know these are these are
• 36:54
  Speaker 28: non network games. Blah blah blah.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, go ahead and cut that.
• 36:56
  Speaker 8: What is what is the AC? See, the ACC has
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: this weird like deal with the devil with Notre Dame.
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: You know, because I'm sensing that Duke has pulled on
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: some proviso that allows Notre Dame to do its own thing.
• 37:12
  Speaker 28: Well because for years and you're right, Joe, good point,
• 37:15
  Speaker 28: great point, as always, because your IQ was through the roof.
• 37:18
  Speaker 28: It's because exactly Notre Dame, though, has had the thing
• 37:21
  Speaker 28: with NBC. That's why Notre Dame football never like you know,
• 37:25
  Speaker 28: all their other sports are in the ECC and Notre
• 37:27
  Speaker 28: Dame say, no, no, no, we got this lucrative deal
• 37:29
  Speaker 28: with NBC.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: We're exclusive to the NBC.
• 37:31
  Speaker 28: Now we're not gonna, you know, not gonna stay there.
• 37:33
  Speaker 28: It's just this is something now kind of a new trend.
• 37:36
  Speaker 28: And after it broke, I went, I just read the
• 37:38
  Speaker 28: story and went, oh, this is crazy, this is this
• 37:41
  Speaker 28: is the best. So anyway, keep I'll keep an eye
• 37:45
  Speaker 28: on it. Everybody, just you know, but it's just going
• 37:49
  Speaker 28: to be fun to watch to see what the commission

  Speaker 16: According to a new report from Discovery Education, ninety two
• 38:05
  Speaker 16: percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
• 38:08
  Speaker 16: and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
• 38:11
  Speaker 16: critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
• 38:15
  Speaker 16: but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
• 38:19
  Speaker 16: student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
• 38:22
  Speaker 16: students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
• 38:26
  Speaker 16: forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
• 38:29
  Speaker 16: principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
• 38:33
  Speaker 16: the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 16: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  Speaker 16: while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
• 38:45
  Speaker 16: assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
• 38:49
  Speaker 16: students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
• 38:52
  Speaker 16: yet fewer than half of teachers report using AI themselves

  Speaker 8: Oh satirize for your protection, because, let's face it, the

  Speaker 8: worst thing you can do to some of these puffed
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: up puffy bags is not take them as seriously as
• 44:47
  Speaker 8: they want you to. And they've made themselves too serious.
• 44:53
  Speaker 8: Their determination to create value for themselves rather than to
• 45:01
  Speaker 8: make themselves valuable is I think, really one of the
• 45:08
  Speaker 8: cornerstones of everything we do here in the morning, a
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: couple of emails on the idea of Duke's deal with Amazon.
• 45:18
  Speaker 8: Why does Duke need another team to play? Just put
• 45:21
  Speaker 8: them on and let them scrimmage. Well, you get to
• 45:25
  Speaker 8: that point, and you know, one of the problems with
• 45:27
  Speaker 8: our marketing world is that we're all visually stimulated. So,
• 45:34
  Speaker 8: you know, an ad that pops up for a charity
• 45:37
  Speaker 8: walk or something like that, you know, oh, because you're
• 45:41
  Speaker 8: scrolling your Instagram feed or blue Sky or whatever it is,
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: and you get hit with these ads and somebody going
• 45:53
  Speaker 8: to where the eyeballs are with an advertisement is not
• 45:57
  Speaker 8: corrupt and the ads only go to the places we're
• 46:04
  Speaker 8: going to watch anyway, So which comes first? And every
• 46:17
  Speaker 8: program has that jump the Shark moment? And I will
• 46:22
  Speaker 8: guarantee that they had those moments before they had a
• 46:25
  Speaker 8: name for it. Jump the Shark comes from the old
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: TV program Happy Days, when Henry Winkler's character jumps over
• 46:33
  Speaker 8: a shark in a motorcycle and everyone realizes, Okay, okay,
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: you've run out of ideas. Sadly they had run out
• 46:41
  Speaker 8: of ideas like a season and a half earlier, but
• 46:44
  Speaker 8: at that point it became a flashpoint moment of it.
• 46:52
  Speaker 8: You marvel at programs like Survivor how many different ways
• 46:58
  Speaker 8: can you put twelve people on up a sight and
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: have them battle each other? At how many different ways
• 47:05
  Speaker 8: can you expose our seven deadly vices on a TV
• 47:11
  Speaker 8: and have us go, oh, man, did you see that?
• 47:15
  Speaker 8: Did you see what she did to him? So stagged him,
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: stabbed him, didn't even stab him in the bag, It
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: stabbed him right in the face. You marvel at you
• 47:28
  Speaker 8: know how they you know what Mark Burnett can come
• 47:31
  Speaker 8: up with new ways to make our inhumanity to one
• 47:34
  Speaker 8: another entertaining. Television and athletics is just, you know, the
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: the original form of this kind of stuff. Let's watch
• 47:46
  Speaker 8: two teams have at it and see who wins. But
• 47:52
  Speaker 8: at some point it all becomes the Harlem Globetrotters, doesn't it.
• 47:57
  Speaker 8: And that's where Maureen goes with her email to in
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: the Morning Radio at gmail dot com. Why have leagues anymore?
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: Joe?
• 48:05
  Speaker 8: It doesn't make any sense to me. If teams can
• 48:08
  Speaker 8: just make their own deals with providers, why should I
• 48:15
  Speaker 8: bother playing a league? Just do scrimmages and schedule tune ins,
• 48:21
  Speaker 8: and then if it's an internal scrimmage, you can This
• 48:24
  Speaker 8: is what gave me thought about Survivor. You can have
• 48:27
  Speaker 8: interviews with the players about their inter team rivalries. Some
• 48:33
  Speaker 8: stars starting forward is thinking that the rookie that just
• 48:36
  Speaker 8: came in is trying to steal his playing time, and
• 48:39
  Speaker 8: we'll get an interview with him as he, you know,
• 48:41
  Speaker 8: throws an elbow in the scrimmage and puts the kid
• 48:44
  Speaker 8: down for a few hours. Hey, no, that's that's where
• 48:49
  Speaker 8: we're heading. Who remembers the movie Rollerball? The story Rollerball?
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: The corporations have replaced the country, and the corporations sponsor
• 49:01
  Speaker 8: these roller ball teams and it's basically, uh, you know,
• 49:09
  Speaker 8: an extreme version of Roller Derby. Who was it James
• 49:13
  Speaker 8: Kahn and a couple other people in it, And it's
• 49:19
  Speaker 8: our bread and circuses. It's the Roman emperors throwing some
• 49:23
  Speaker 8: Christians in front of the lions until they realized it
• 49:27
  Speaker 8: was actually inspiring some Romans saying, we got to brave.
• 49:30
  Speaker 8: These people are there and there and it's just them
• 49:32
  Speaker 8: and a lion, and they're brave.
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: They're praying and who is this Jesus guy?
• 49:37
  Speaker 8: And that's when the Romans stopped throwing Christians to the lions,
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: because yeah, they were dying. But you know what's the
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: line from the Lion and Winter? When the fall is
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: all you have left, it matters very much, but it's
• 49:56
  Speaker 8: you know, shall we be entertained? But what is the
• 50:02
  Speaker 8: entertainment doing? And this is where I think a lot
• 50:04
  Speaker 8: of our mass media falls by the wayside. What is
• 50:08
  Speaker 8: it doing? At its original inclination, Seinfeld was there to
• 50:17
  Speaker 8: show the vapidity of the modern American man and woman,
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: the trivialities that dominated our thoughts and therefore making us say, oh,
• 50:35
  Speaker 8: I don't want to be like that. But it jumped
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: the shark when Jerry became just as vapid as everyone.
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: Else all in the family.
• 50:47
  Speaker 8: When Archie Bunker started to have character traits that people
• 50:52
  Speaker 8: empathized with, it lost its point. Everything does have a point.
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: It's not that everything needs to have one. Everything has
• 51:09
  Speaker 8: a point. Everything that exists in God's creation has a
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: reason for being there. Comedy, drama, athletics, talk radio. What
• 51:21
  Speaker 8: is the point so that you can get on with
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: your day, plug into something real, and get on.
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: With what you're doing.
• 51:32
  Speaker 8: And we are definitely going through an electronic period of
• 51:36
  Speaker 8: bread and circuses. This is how we wind up with
• 51:40
  Speaker 8: mischaracterizations in the zeitgeist of what the American dream is
• 51:46
  Speaker 8: because a thirty second TV ad for a home insurance
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: company makes it look like, oh, that's what I want,
• 51:53
  Speaker 8: when it may not be what you want, but all
• 51:56
  Speaker 8: the ad makes it look compelling. Man, how many people
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: have spent what is the average new car cost? Fifty dollars?
• 52:08
  Speaker 8: Nobody buys new cars anymore. They lease them. Just a
• 52:13
  Speaker 8: funny sidebar, So many cars now are leased. Driving around
• 52:17
  Speaker 8: New York City in the ways that people whose new
• 52:21
  Speaker 8: Lexus or whatever they're trying to protect the back bumper,
• 52:24
  Speaker 8: they have these flack jackets that hang down in front
• 52:28
  Speaker 8: of their bumper. I actually saw somebody who had welded
• 52:34
  Speaker 8: or maybe bolted a chrome pipe across their bumper to
• 52:39
  Speaker 8: protect it from being damaged and then therefore hurting their
• 52:43
  Speaker 8: lease value. Because we don't own anything anymore, so we're
• 52:46
  Speaker 8: all trying to protect someone else's stuff.
