  Speaker 1: republic might stand.

  Speaker 2: On your to do list.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Putting the radio on is the first thing today.
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: Jew Ward said, steal me stem a day at least.
• 0:20
  Speaker 5: For work, when the sun comes up, drops a kid
• 0:22
  Speaker 5: into school the night, the way Joey has everything.

  Speaker 6: A dream of all the treasures that needs.
• 0:30
  Speaker 7: No one that Joe's as smiled, he only aims.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Please let him be your Joe.
• 0:39
  Speaker 8: Thank you for letting me be of.
• 0:40
  Speaker 9: Service to you, those who died so that our nation
• 0:47
  Speaker 9: could live, those who gave up their sacred light on earth,
• 0:52
  Speaker 9: so that the sublime light of American freedom would shine forever.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: And ever name under that.
• 1:00
  Speaker 8: But there's an important point to that, And here is
• 1:05
  Speaker 8: the Orwellian twist of guys like Bernie Sanders. That's the
• 1:12
  Speaker 8: president yesterday at Arlington National so great address, hit all
• 1:18
  Speaker 8: the right spots. But you get this as much as anyone.
• 1:22
  Speaker 8: You call me and say, how do these guys not
• 1:26
  Speaker 8: burst into flames when they say I'm for freedom? You
• 1:31
  Speaker 8: know you can hear Bernie Sanders. Now I want American
• 1:34
  Speaker 8: people to be free. He means free from And it's
• 1:39
  Speaker 8: a real nuanced twist of the language. They promote freedom from,
• 1:45
  Speaker 8: we promote freedom for. And you may say, well, Joe,
• 1:51
  Speaker 8: that's no difference at all. It is an immense difference.
• 1:54
  Speaker 8: It's light side versus dark side of the moon. Bernie Sanders,
• 2:00
  Speaker 8: and if we want you to be free from obligation,
• 2:08
  Speaker 8: we want you to be free to find your own obligation.
• 2:17
  Speaker 8: We want you to create your own obligations. Bernie Sanders
• 2:20
  Speaker 8: wants you to be free from obligation. We want you
• 2:26
  Speaker 8: to be free to cut your own path. Bernie wants
• 2:30
  Speaker 8: the government to put a path together for you. And
• 2:37
  Speaker 8: it's I know, I get it. It's a difficult thing
• 2:44
  Speaker 8: to think about, but it is the most important battle
• 2:54
  Speaker 8: we're facing right now in the United States is how
• 3:00
  Speaker 8: do we navigate that narrative? And we have to and
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: if we do it successfully, the country survives. If we don't,
• 3:15
  Speaker 8: not so much. Anyway, Our first things this morning, you
• 3:18
  Speaker 8: hit the President and he gave his address and his
• 3:21
  Speaker 8: remarks along with Vice President JD. Vance at Arlington National
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: Cemetery yesterday. Meanwhile, the US military said it carried out
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: self defense strikes in southern Iran, including hitting some missile
• 3:36
  Speaker 8: launch sites and sinking some boats that had been laying
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: minds in the strait of horror movez. President Trump took
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: to social media and said, however, negotiations are proceeding nicely.
• 3:49
  Speaker 8: They strikes, he said, were to protect our troops from
• 3:52
  Speaker 8: threats posed by Iranian forces.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: The deal that is being discussed.
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: Isn't popular in the United States popular.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: In Israel either.
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: Yayir Lapede, who is the Israeli opposition leader trying to
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: build a coalition of enough people to oust Benjamin Netan
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: Yahoo from Prime Minister, says that the deal fails to
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: achieve any of Israel's goals for the war. Without context,
• 4:23
  Speaker 8: he pointed out that the deal is bad for Israel,
• 4:27
  Speaker 8: bad for the region, and bad for the city citizens
• 4:30
  Speaker 8: of Iran. So the runoff between John Cornyn and Ken
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: Paxton today three way contests yielded a forty one forty
• 4:41
  Speaker 8: edge to cornyin whoever gets to fifty wins the Republican
• 4:47
  Speaker 8: nomination to run for Senate from Texas. Pope Leo called
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: for regulation to handle the burgeoning artificial intelligence industry. In
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitis, Leo writes that the culture
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: of power has to be rained in and that regulations
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: need to be put together to make sure that AI
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: doesn't supplant humanity, and federal agencies, according to the Government
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: Accountability Office, send out one hundred and eighty six billion
• 5:45
  Speaker 8: dollars in improper or undeserved payments through Medicare, Medicaid and
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: other social programs.
• 5:53
  Speaker 10: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
• 5:56
  Speaker 10: the American story, but not every site is telling us
• 6:00
  Speaker 10: story honestly and fairly. That's why the Heritage Foundation created
• 6:04
  Speaker 10: the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips
• 6:08

  Speaker 10: for citizens to celebrate America to fifty this summer. From
• 6:34
  Speaker 10: Mount Vernon to Independence Hall to Gettysburg and more. Americans

• 13:20
  Speaker 14: Until first thing today.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: By Joe Thomas on the Tunk Media Bark in your time.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: We have the opportunity to move not only towards the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: rich society and the powerful society, but upward to the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: great society.
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: And here we are coming to you live from the
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: Great Society. Sixty years four times as many poor people
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: any other war that the United States has. And I
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: get this a lot from the pro drug crowds who
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: say decriminalization because our war on drugs is a failure. Well,
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: the war on poverty has been going on twenty years
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: longer than the war on drugs. Can we call that
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: a failure under the same premise, we have four times
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: as many people living under the poverty level. You tell
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: me how it's impacting you where you are. President Trump
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: talking about freedom in his address yesterday.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: To the folks at Arlington, the gathering there for Memorial Day.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: When our founding fathers put the ideas of the Declaration
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: of Independence to paper in Philadelphia, they signed and sealed
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: an oath that had already been written in blood by
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: patriots at Lexington Conquered and Bunker Hill their sacrifice birth
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the most incredible and exceptional nation in all of history.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: And our nation is doing better today that it's ever
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: done before.
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: And I know he talks about freedom in his address.
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: He talks about the freedom that we won. And the
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: question is, how do both sides get to use the
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: word freedom. See Bernie Sanders and AOC and Graham Platner
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: and all these folks and Karen Bass. They all believe
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: in freedom from that. As pandering populists, the best thing
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: they can do is offer you goodies so that you
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: will vote for them. I used to work in music radio,
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: and there's some ridiculous things that would just make you laugh.
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: But I'm sure your industry has some of the same
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: ridiculous things. So because we had to convince ratings services
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: that we were the most popular station in order to
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: I guess get easier add money, it was a con
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: we had already fooled ourselves. So those ratings books were
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: kept as diaries. People used to write down in diaries
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: when they listened and who they were listening to. So
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: it was important that you managed to get them to
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: say that they listened for eight minutes, because if you
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: got them to listen for eight minutes, you got credit
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: for fifteen I kid you not I'm kidding, sound like.
• 16:37
  Speaker 14: I always saying.
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: And the most important day to get them to listen
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: was on Thursday because the ratings diaries had to be
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: mailed back on Thursday. So you timed your big concert
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: ticket giveaway or your big cash giveaway for Thursday during
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: the most important day part So if you wanted to
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: really look like you had the most people listening to
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: the morning. You'd give away one hundred million dollars on
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: Thursday morning at seven twenty and you're, oh, well, they're
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: obviously dominating, And it was all a con job. It
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: was all stats, it was all manipulation. And that's what
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: Bernie Sanders and AOC and these folks are involved in.
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: They're they're pitching you the idea of being free from obligation.
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: And it's the same thing, sadly that Pope Leo is
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: pitching it as an incyclical on artificial intelligence. This is
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: the boss of the church, built on the Ten Commandments. Dude,
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: you already have the rule book for how to deal
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: with AI. Don't get lost in the complexity. Don't get
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: dazzled by your false complexity. We all want to look impressive,
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: don't we. Always people complain about me all the time
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: because I'm not bombastic enough about what I do, the
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: analysis that I provide on the stories, because I want
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: to hear how these stories are impacting you. Where you
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: is at four three, four eight eight two four two
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: one seven. And if you're a Catholic, you know you
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: say you can't say anything bad about the pope, or
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: if you're from Chicago, you can't say anything bad about
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: the Pope.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Or I didn't say anything bad. I said he was wrong.
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: And I understand why the Pope is wrong and is
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: encyclical because he's not speaking as a priest. He's speaking
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: as the head CEO of an organization. This is like
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: the cringey McDonald's videos where the guy takes a nibble
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: on a new hamburger.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: And says, oh boy, that's really good.
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: You expect the CEO of McDonald's to say anything else.
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: I want to find out who has done the new branding.
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: By the way, speaking of the Burger Wars, the new
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: branding for Burger King fascinates me and it makes me
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: wonder if the same ad agency that's working for Burger
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: King are the ones that helped rebrand hamas and Hasbola
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: as marginalized communities.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: And not terrorist murderers.
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: But Pope Leo and his encyclical said, we need government
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: to regulate how the internet is going to be so
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: it doesn't trample people.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Well, you're the.
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: Boss of the organization that is supposed to be uplifting
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: the people. Our ability to regulate the internet the Internet,
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: and AI included is nothing more than an inanimate object.
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: Until we push go, AI only spits out what we
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: ask it to. And I don't understand why I get this.
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: I'm not even a Catholic. I'm a Christian, So I
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: mean we can rage on that debate that will be
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: the one that consumes us. Can a Christian have an
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: opinion about the Catholic pope? But I was excited to
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: hear that the Pope was going to issue and incyclical
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: about how to deal with AI. It is the question
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: that's on everyone's mind, just like Bernie Sanders and is
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: encyclicals about poverty.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Poverty is real.
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: We were talking about it earlier, whether it's on the
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: riversidee in Charlottesville, Virginia, or on the highway side underneath
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: the overpasses in Los Angeles. We were talking about our
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: listeners in Greenwich on WGH, nine hundred some odd people
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: homeless in the city of Greenwich, supposedly the most one
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: of the most prosperous part of Connecticut. Hamp listening down
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: there on the Treasure Coast. Everyone says, Florida, Oh, Florida,
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: Great Florida. Great Florida's got a huge homeless problem. People
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: who haven't, you know, have figured out that it's on
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: them to get prosperity because every time somebody falls behind,
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: thirty thousand, thirty thousand people in Florida homeless, every time
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: somebody struggles, we conservatives should be there showing them the
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: way out. Like the AA story about the guy and
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: the hole. We've been down here before and we know
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: the way out. But the progressive so it's.
• 22:00
  Speaker 23: They Brandt and her name is Shary I love. She's
• 22:04
  Speaker 23: a friend of mine whom we were just praying for
• 22:07
  Speaker 23: because of a surgery. She just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 24: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:12
  Speaker 24: talk about all the time, which.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Is meta share.
• 22:14
  Speaker 14: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 23: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
• 22:17
  Speaker 23: and health care ability?
• 22:18
  Speaker 24: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
• 22:21
  Speaker 24: you're already nervous about a health issue which I was,
• 22:24
  Speaker 24: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 24: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 24: call in with your need that.
• 22:32
  Speaker 23: Is just refreshing.
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 23: I keep telling people. People love meda share and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 23: love saving money. The typical family can save five hundred
• 22:41
  Speaker 23: dollars a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 24: I am very thankful for Meta Share. It is so different,
• 22:46
  Speaker 24: and I mean different in a very very good way.
• 22:48
  Speaker 23: It is good different Call now. They're easy to talk

  Speaker 15: Hi.
• 23:02
  Speaker 25: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
• 23:06
  Speaker 25: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
• 23:11
  Speaker 25: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
• 23:16
  Speaker 25: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
• 23:20
  Speaker 25: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
• 23:25
  Speaker 25: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:31
  Speaker 25: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
• 23:34
  Speaker 25: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
• 23:40
  Speaker 25: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
• 23:44
  Speaker 25: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
• 23:48
  Speaker 25: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
• 23:53
  Speaker 25: center of our profession. For more information on AI and

  Speaker 26: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 24:09
  Speaker 26: actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
• 24:13
  Speaker 26: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 26: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 26: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
• 24:28
  Speaker 26: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 24:33
  Speaker 26: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:36
  Speaker 26: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 24:40
  Speaker 26: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 24:42
  Speaker 26: your hands and feet. Well, our product, ultimate nitric oxide,

  Speaker 2: On your to do list.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Putting the radio on is the first thing today.
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: That is time for our sports director Mac McDonald opened
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: his reporter's notebook. I was looking this is a great mindset, Mac,
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: So just a list of things that didn't exist the
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: last time the New York Knicks were in the NBA Finals.
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: Things like social media. Yeah, things like the iPhone nineteen
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: ninety nine, the last time the Knicks were in with
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: the Latrell's free well wow, and they played San Antonio,
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: which they've got a fifty to fifty chance of playing again.
• 28:54
  Speaker 14: But exactly three teams left standing. I mean Cleveland just
• 28:58
  Speaker 14: quit last night. It was it wasn't even close.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: U thirty seven or something like that.
• 29:02
  Speaker 14: Yeah. But anyway, with all that happening, so if you
• 29:06
  Speaker 14: walked into a Barnes and Normle or a book.
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: Bind or whatever, you know your favorite bookstore.
• 29:11
  Speaker 14: If you walked in and if you see a book
• 29:13
  Speaker 14: called Leadership Behavior, that will probably be Greg Sankee's new book. Okay,
• 29:19
  Speaker 14: the Commissioner of the SEC because he spoke in Dustin,
• 29:22
  Speaker 14: Florida yesterday, which is going to be a vacation spot
• 29:25
  Speaker 14: for me in July. My wife wants to see Destin
• 29:28
  Speaker 14: and the Panhandle before we go to New Orleans, which
• 29:30
  Speaker 14: ought to be Yeah, that'll.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: Be great July.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 29:33
  Speaker 14: Anyway, So the numbers lesson is twelve, sixteen, twenty four
• 29:38
  Speaker 14: All right, now, Sanki told the type is yesterday that
• 29:42
  Speaker 14: the one thing the SEC had. I mean, this guy
• 29:44
  Speaker 14: could run for almost any office. The one thing we
• 29:47
  Speaker 14: have talking about the SEC and commissioners. And when is time?
• 29:51
  Speaker 14: He said? And nothing surprises him regarding the banter about
• 29:55
  Speaker 14: a playoff expansion. Naturally, the question came quickly when Sankey
• 30:00
  Speaker 14: took the dais.
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: Well we went from four to twelve. Remember we're out
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: in Santa Claara. I remember so vividly. I was the detractor,
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: or we were. We weren't looking for expansion. And then
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: when it came time to vote, we got three conferences
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: that flipped that you can go find the quotes where hey,
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: we need to expand. So the fact that people are
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: maneuvering back and forth is not surprising to me.
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: Okay, so a little bit of history before we move
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: on here.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 30:26
  Speaker 14: Twenty fourteen, a four team format, the CFP Board of
• 30:30
  Speaker 14: Managers voted in twenty twenty three to expand the playoff
• 30:33
  Speaker 14: to twelve teams. That paperwork is good now through twenty
• 30:37
  Speaker 14: twenty seven. That's why Sankie's not in a hurry. From
• 30:39
  Speaker 14: ninety eight to twenty thirteen, it was the BCS and
• 30:43
  Speaker 14: the poll computer system, thank you, Gene Corgan.
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: Then the four team.
• 30:48
  Speaker 14: Selection committee system went into effect twenty fourteen through twenty
• 30:52
  Speaker 14: twenty three. In other words, now we're going to put
• 30:54
  Speaker 14: a committee together to vote, all right, sank told his
• 30:57
  Speaker 14: ads in schools yesterday. He goes, let fulfill the SEC's responsibilities,
• 31:02
  Speaker 14: meaning the conference championship game in December will more than
• 31:07
  Speaker 14: likely stay because his quote was, there are contracts involved,
• 31:11
  Speaker 14: and two let's once again study metrics of the CFP expansion.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: Basically, the SEC is not jumping into anything.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: What I've encouraged them to do is to fulfill our
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: leadership responsibility to understand before we commit it, don't just
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: pick a number. So I remember last year when we
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: were here, the focus was all on sixteen with AQS.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: That was it, and we dug in and I shared
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: some metrics that we use to inform our position. I
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: think that's the kind of leadership behavior we want this week.
• 31:43
  Speaker 14: Yeah, leadership behavior and of course the conference championship game
• 31:46
  Speaker 14: when it makes one hundred and fifty million every year
• 31:48
  Speaker 14: played in Atlanta. And you know, so the SEC is saying, wait,
• 31:52
  Speaker 14: not so fast, all right? So according to Sanki, he goes,
• 31:55
  Speaker 14: we have time. There's no panic. Just because Conference AA
• 31:59
  Speaker 14: or Conference B is ready to jump to twenty four,
• 32:03
  Speaker 14: the ACC the big ten, and the SEC is not
• 32:06
  Speaker 14: turning around and voting on the number over a breakfast
• 32:09
  Speaker 14: buffet and a couple of sessions in Destin, Florida on
• 32:12
  Speaker 14: the golf course.
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: Oh let's take a vote. You know, my team just
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: won the SEC scramble.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: Right, we have time for decisions about there. We committed,
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: we started, and nobody followed immediately. It did over time,
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: and it set us apart. So that's not something you
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: just walk away from because in the moment there's a
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: little bit of pressure. You want to be thoughtful about
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: how you do that. And I take that back to
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: our view of the playoff. I don't know how other
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: people inform their perspectives. You know, one of the conference meetings,
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: I saw one day at commitment to this number, and
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: the next day a report why it wouldn't work. I'd
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: like to avoid that kind of thing.
• 32:48
  Speaker 14: Yeah, exactly. Well, so here's the here's what's going to happen.
• 32:51
  Speaker 14: There's going to be a lot of talk, a lot
• 32:53
  Speaker 14: of rhetoric, and a lot of opinions. And Sankey says,
• 32:56
  Speaker 14: it's okay for all, you know, our staffers and our
• 32:58
  Speaker 14: ads and our coaches. It's okay to have opinions, but
• 33:02
  Speaker 14: that's not going to sway a vote or what the
• 33:05
  Speaker 14: SEC is going to do. He goes, you know, we
• 33:07
  Speaker 14: have contracts, and of course, the biggest contract is with ESPN.
• 33:11
  Speaker 14: And I don't care what Fox is going to do
• 33:13
  Speaker 14: with the Big ten, but the biggest contract is the
• 33:16
  Speaker 14: ESPN contract, which is good through twenty thirty one. And Sanky,
• 33:21
  Speaker 14: you know, and every the experts that's so called are saying, okay,
• 33:25
  Speaker 14: there's a chance that the SEC, I mean that the
• 33:29
  Speaker 14: ESPN would say, okay, sixteen is fine, but this jump
• 33:33
  Speaker 14: to twenty four is gobbledy goot. We're the College Football
• 33:37
  Speaker 14: Playoff is not going to twenty four anytime soon, okay.
• 33:40
  Speaker 14: And I don't care how many conference I don't care
• 33:42
  Speaker 14: what Tony Battitis avro, I don't care what the Big
• 33:45
  Speaker 14: Ten commissioner is saying, or what you know.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: Jim Phillips says, oh, well, we'd like toy.
• 33:49
  Speaker 14: Well, of course, Jim Phillips is going to say, because
• 33:51
  Speaker 14: the ACC is of the lower tier and once a
• 33:55
  Speaker 14: duke in a Virginia and Virginia tac to get into the.
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah, bray, yeah, here's the thing. And please educate me
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: because I don't understand sports. You know, this is me
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: and my dad sitting on the couch watching Dick shap
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: and me finding out decades later that he went to
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: school with a guy and he never said anything.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: This is my sports world. Why are the football.
• 34:23
  Speaker 8: Gods trying to recreate what works for basketball? Because they're
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: all They want to sweet sixteen, they want, sixty four,
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: they want and it becomes unwieldy and ridiculous to the
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: point that you have one hundred and fifty guys on
• 34:45
  Speaker 8: a football team, you have ten on a basketball team.
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: So coordinating sixty four teams in four regions works. You
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: can't do this kind of size with teams that are
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: one hundred and thirty five players.
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: Steep well, okay exactly because.
• 35:03
  Speaker 14: You with your walk ons and your roster, your roster
• 35:05
  Speaker 14: limits still lady five, and now they're adding walk on.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: So it's like one of fight Joe, you are so right,
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: but I'm going to give you two words. Two words
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: chi ching, Okay, I can't think it too better.
• 35:17
  Speaker 14: Ones, Well, why would why.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Would a network pay for this mess?
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: Why would the network pay to see you know, Alabama
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: play Temple.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: I just don't understand they're not going to pay to
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: see it.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: In the opening of the season.
• 35:34
  Speaker 14: You bring up a great, great point. Why did the
• 35:37
  Speaker 14: NCAA Basketball committee say, all right, let's add eight more
• 35:41
  Speaker 14: to create two more?
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: I don't know in basketball in the.
• 35:45
  Speaker 14: College basketball tournament. Now, I saw a thing last week
• 35:49
  Speaker 14: with Ja Billis and and I love Jay and Jay
• 35:52
  Speaker 14: is really one of the smartest guys in the world.
• 35:54
  Speaker 14: He goes, you know, more basketball Tuesday Wednesday night as
• 35:56
  Speaker 14: part of the tournament. He goes, it's really not the tournament.
• 35:59
  Speaker 14: He says, I don't care what the NCAA says. It's
• 36:01
  Speaker 14: they're playing games, and so the playing games are fine.
• 36:04
  Speaker 14: He goes, The tournament starts Thursday, you know, the nc
• 36:08
  Speaker 14: DOUAA tournament. It's Thursday, sixty eight teams, let's go for it.
• 36:11
  Speaker 14: Everything else is playing and got you know, it's saying
• 36:14
  Speaker 14: so it's so football really is the same. But to
• 36:17
  Speaker 14: do it with the football schedule and trying to balance
• 36:20
  Speaker 14: when you're balancing semesters and all that. The problem is
• 36:23
  Speaker 14: you you got to get rid of the conference championship games.
• 36:27
  Speaker 14: The ACC has no problem with that. And you're only
• 36:30
  Speaker 14: gonna have one bye week instead of two. Why would
• 36:33
  Speaker 14: you want to Why would you want you know, college
• 36:36
  Speaker 14: kids to stay healthy or at least get you know,
• 36:38
  Speaker 14: get healthy. So that's where this whole thing at twenty four,
• 36:41
  Speaker 14: they can't come up with a schedule unless they want.
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: To start August eighth.
• 36:44
  Speaker 14: Well what I mean, and I say that tongue in cheek,
• 36:47
  Speaker 14: but that's where that's where the craziness starts. Said, Okay,
• 36:50
  Speaker 14: well we'll start, you know, we'll just start playing a
• 36:53
  Speaker 14: whole bunch of games. They call it's it's even ridiculous
• 36:55
  Speaker 14: because they call it week zero week.
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: You know, brought to you by you know, I could
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: see the marketing, brought to you by Coke zero.
• 37:04

• 37:08
  Speaker 14: college football because that's what it's called week. So anyway, uh,
• 37:13
  Speaker 14: Sankie The bottom line is, and my point is that
• 37:16
  Speaker 14: Sankei is shrewd. He is one of my the current
• 37:19
  Speaker 14: twelve teams. He had the format features for the first
• 37:21
  Speaker 14: time the first round of playoffs. The paperwork is in place,
• 37:24
  Speaker 14: don't look for and and that paperwork is through twenty
• 37:27
  Speaker 14: twenty seven too, by the way, so there's not going
• 37:29
  Speaker 14: to be a change like right away.
• 37:31

• 38:13
  Speaker 33: for most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case. Why
• 38:17
  Speaker 33: because most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway
• 38:21
  Speaker 33: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less than taxes.

  Speaker 26: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: Yes?
• 39:09
  Speaker 26: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 26: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 26: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 26: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
• 39:28

  Speaker 26: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

  Speaker 7: playing a Yoda whole crewel actor, work to your moms.

  Speaker 14: I came to drop bombs.

  Speaker 7: I got movies and the bobles got songs and just

  Speaker 7: like the Barnacle.

  Speaker 6: Sun Oppertune, I came to get down. I came nig

• 44:40
  Speaker 8: He is the host of or the creative juice behind
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: the Tom Drops Bombs.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Video series.
• 44:49
  Speaker 8: On YouTube, and a documentary filmmaker.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Is the hat.
• 44:55
  Speaker 8: I want him to grab out of his closet for
• 44:57
  Speaker 8: this one. He's been in houses of the Holy he's
• 45:01
  Speaker 8: been in the houses of representation and he's lived to
• 45:05
  Speaker 8: tell the tale. But Tom Garrick of Morning shir how
• 45:09
  Speaker 8: are you?
• 45:11
  Speaker 21: I'm doing well? How are you doing?
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: Joe?
• 45:13
  Speaker 6: Doing good?
• 45:14
  Speaker 8: So I want to tap into the man that I
• 45:17
  Speaker 8: watch and believe me, someday somebody is going to get
• 45:21
  Speaker 8: their head out of their arse and finish that documentary
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: that you have filmed in the can called Exile. And
• 45:29
  Speaker 8: it's about religious persecution in the world. It's about genocide,
• 45:34
  Speaker 8: it's about you know. And what makes me laugh is
• 45:37
  Speaker 8: this is what everyone wants to talk about. And I
• 45:39
  Speaker 8: know there's one particular eight hundred pound panda in the
• 45:42
  Speaker 8: room that nobody wants to talk about, which is hanging
• 45:45
  Speaker 8: it up. And maybe we'll grow us at one day.
• 45:48
  Speaker 8: That being said, saying the quiet part out loud, I
• 45:51
  Speaker 8: want to talk to the guy who's been to all
• 45:53
  Speaker 8: these hell holes to see the indomitable spirit of people.
• 45:57
  Speaker 8: Because one of the things I hear a lot about
• 45:59
  Speaker 8: in the Iran situation is that we can't just go
• 46:04
  Speaker 8: into these countries and whip freedom on them because they
• 46:08
  Speaker 8: don't understand freedom. They've never lived in freedom, they don't
• 46:11
  Speaker 8: know what freedom is. I believe the human spirit knows
• 46:14
  Speaker 8: what freedom is. They just may not know what it
• 46:19
  Speaker 8: feels like. What has your experience been in that case,
• 46:22
  Speaker 8: because I'm sure you've heard the same rebuke of American
• 46:25
  Speaker 8: foreign policy in other countries.
• 46:29
  Speaker 21: Well, Joe, the metaphor that immediately comes to mind is
• 46:32
  Speaker 21: have you And it's an interesting question to ask you,
• 46:35
  Speaker 21: have you ever gotten to wake up on your own
• 46:37
  Speaker 21: as opposed to having an alarm go off?
• 46:39
  Speaker 32: Right?
• 46:40
  Speaker 21: And the point is that maybe people don't understand the
• 46:43
  Speaker 21: freedom too, you know, the freedom to transition, or the
• 46:48
  Speaker 21: freedom to you know, sort of create holidays around your
• 46:53
  Speaker 21: desired sexual activities. Maybe they'll understand the freedom too, but
• 46:56
  Speaker 21: they do understand the freedom from from someone telling them
• 47:00
  Speaker 21: what they have to do, that alarm going off and
• 47:02
  Speaker 21: saying now's the time that you must get up. That's
• 47:05
  Speaker 21: just inherent in the human nature, right. And I'm not
• 47:08
  Speaker 21: saying there's anything wrong with the freedom too as it
• 47:11
  Speaker 21: relates to individuals who aren't harming others. But it's a
• 47:14
  Speaker 21: very human concept, the freedom from and that doesn't even
• 47:18
  Speaker 21: exist in certain places. The things that are forced upon
• 47:21
  Speaker 21: people and things that people simply aren't allowed to do.
• 47:25
  Speaker 21: I've spent a whole bunch of time in a wonderful place.
• 47:27
  Speaker 21: Actually in northern Iraq, Iraqi Kurdistan. It's a very free
• 47:31
  Speaker 21: region relative to their neighbors, meaning anything south of Iraqi Kurdistan,
• 47:37
  Speaker 21: east of Iraqi Kurdistan, west of Iraqi Kurdistan, or sorry, Turkey,
• 47:42
  Speaker 21: north of Iraqi Kurdistan. But you go out to the
• 47:46
  Speaker 21: night market or or you know, or you're enjoy in
• 47:49
  Speaker 21: hookah and chai, and it's wonderful atmosphere and it's just
• 47:54
  Speaker 21: vibrant and alive. And then you look around and you go,
• 47:57
  Speaker 21: wait a second, ninety nine out of hundred people here
• 48:00
  Speaker 21: are men, right, And that's even in that most liberal spot.
• 48:08
  Speaker 21: You've taken fifty to fifty one percent of the population
• 48:10
  Speaker 21: and said, hey, you're not leaving the house. And that's
• 48:14
  Speaker 21: crazy for Americans to see, right, and to appreciate or
• 48:19
  Speaker 21: or I don't appreciate the wrong word. So we kind
• 48:23
  Speaker 21: of have all these freedoms from and freedoms too, to
• 48:28
  Speaker 21: the point where our freedom becomes I think sometimes our enemy,
• 48:32
  Speaker 21: the enemy of our happiness and our eternity for primary
• 48:36
  Speaker 21: for the theological reference. And they don't have any freedom too,
• 48:41
  Speaker 21: and they don't have a whole lot of freedom from
• 48:43
  Speaker 21: in most of the world, and so they don't get
• 48:47
  Speaker 21: to wake up without an alarm every so often. And
• 48:51
  Speaker 21: it's pretty nice sometimes to get up without you A
• 48:53
  Speaker 21: lot of.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: Your body is ready to do. It's things, you see.
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: I bring this up because yesterday, certainly President and Trump
• 49:00
  Speaker 8: delivered one of his better speeches in Arlington talking about freedom,
• 49:05
  Speaker 8: and then Bernie Sanders was out, I guess campaigning for
• 49:08
  Speaker 8: AOC who's coily saying she's I'm thinking about running for
• 49:12
  Speaker 8: president maybe, But he's talking about freedom and trying to
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: square how both, you know, ideological sides could talk about freedom.
• 49:21
  Speaker 8: And I always bring up the fact that Bernie Sanders
• 49:24
  Speaker 8: is talking about a different kind. I use the phrase
• 49:28
  Speaker 8: freedom from meeting, freedom from obligation, freedom from want, freedom
• 49:34
  Speaker 8: from need.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: It's that Marxist freedom.
• 49:37
  Speaker 8: You no longer need to worry about paying your medical
• 49:40
  Speaker 8: bills because somebody will pay it for you. You need
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: Zorhan mom, Donnie, you no longer need to pay your
• 49:46
  Speaker 8: grocery bills because somebody will pay them for you.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: That kind of freedom.
• 49:51
  Speaker 8: It's dangerous, but they do, in their twisted minds, get
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: to use the word freedom when they're meeting collectivism.
• 50:00
  Speaker 21: Sure, and that's how the less been winning arguments at
• 50:04
  Speaker 21: least for my entire life, and that is by redefining
• 50:08
  Speaker 21: the meaning of words. Right, I'll never lose an argument
• 50:10
  Speaker 21: if I get to pick the meaning of the terms.
• 50:15
  Speaker 21: You know that, no surprise there. And the problem is
• 50:20
  Speaker 21: if you say we should do this instead of that,
• 50:22
  Speaker 21: then I'm willing to say, show me any example where
• 50:25
  Speaker 21: the this that you're advocating for has worked. And the argument,
• 50:30
  Speaker 21: you know, the argument always seems to be, well, we'll
• 50:32
  Speaker 21: do it differently this time. And that, my friends, is
• 50:35
  Speaker 21: the definition of you.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: We were just talking about I was thinking about Hubrius
• 50:41
  Speaker 8: and Odysseus and in reference to college football, uh, and
• 50:46
  Speaker 8: of course Ethaica doesn't play college foot well, they have,
• 50:49
  Speaker 8: they do play college football, but I don't think they're
• 50:51
  Speaker 8: getting invited to the NCAA tournament anytime soon. Tom Well,
• 50:56
  Speaker 8: I appreciate that because I believe that in all of
• 50:58
  Speaker 8: the things I've seen in all filming that you've done,
• 51:01
  Speaker 8: in the film that I've seen from the cutting room floor,
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: if you will, and sizzle reels for for exile, is
• 51:11
  Speaker 8: that look in people's eyes saying I want to be free.
• 51:15
  Speaker 8: I want to be free to do what I think
• 51:17
  Speaker 8: I can do for my community without waiting for permission
• 51:20
  Speaker 8: from somebody, uh in a building somewhere that I may
• 51:24
  Speaker 8: have been my rival in high school.
• 51:27
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 51:28
  Speaker 21: And I want to be free from telling someone telling
• 51:32
  Speaker 21: me where I have to work, not that I have
• 51:35
  Speaker 21: to work, I get a job. I want to be
• 51:37
  Speaker 21: free from somebody telling me whether I can worship, where
• 51:41
  Speaker 21: I'm allowed to live, right and and so and so.
• 51:48
  Speaker 21: You know, the freedom from from want promised to buy
• 51:51
  Speaker 21: government programs so big that everyone is equal. It's a
• 51:56
  Speaker 21: guarantee that we've now disincentivized work. I need people from
• 51:59
  Speaker 21: the form or Eastern Europe, and this fascinated me. Good
• 52:03
  Speaker 21: people who you could trust alone in your house. But
• 52:07
  Speaker 21: they advocated for stealing from their bosses and from the
• 52:10
  Speaker 21: government overtly and with a straight face. And the concept
• 52:14
  Speaker 21: was that if you're not stealing from the government, you're
• 52:16
  Speaker 21: stealing from your family. And that was undergird by the
• 52:19
  Speaker 21: idea that the government was stealing from them. And that
• 52:23
  Speaker 21: is a recipe for societal collapse and corruption. You know,
• 52:30
  Speaker 21: because if you're stealing from the government in a free society,
• 52:32
  Speaker 21: which you're doing is stealing from your neighbor. But if
• 52:34
  Speaker 21: you're stealing from the government a totalitarian society, the government's
• 52:38
  Speaker 21: already stolen everything and you're just taking something back. Right,
• 52:41
  Speaker 21: and the Robin had concept with the left sort of espouses.
• 52:44
  Speaker 21: He robbed from the rich and gave to the poor,
• 52:47
  Speaker 21: robbing from the rich who was robbing from the government.
• 52:50
  Speaker 18: That a few years ago, my youngest son had something
• 52:54
  Speaker 18: minor turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 24: It was mediicere that came through force and there was
• 53:00
  Speaker 24: no hassles, there was no problem.
• 53:02
  Speaker 18: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 53:05
  Speaker 18: of such an incredible ministry.
• 53:07
  Speaker 34: Meta Share is a Biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
• 53:11
  Speaker 34: share each other's medical expenses.
• 53:13
  Speaker 31: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 53:17
  Speaker 31: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 53:20
  Speaker 34: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years old,
• 53:25
  Speaker 34: and members have shared over eight billion dollars of each
• 53:27
