0:23
Speaker 7: That needs no one that Joe's anismile.
0:27
Speaker 5: He only ask.
0:32
Speaker 8: Joe here hold these truths. Bob in Moscow called in
0:40
justin before we headed to the news at the top
0:42
of the hour. We were talking about the millennial Saint Acutis. Bob,
0:46
thank you for hanging on the line with us this morning. Okay, Bob,
0:51
what was on your mind?
0:54
Speaker 9: Hey, it's just like the couple in Turkey that was
0:57
arrested because they were hugging on theroperty of a mosque,
1:01
and it's against the Islam to have any affection, including
1:06
a hug on the mosque. So this couple, not knowing
1:10
that that was the law, is now facing in jail time.
1:14
Speaker 8: Really, my gosh, you know, were they from Turkey or.
1:21
Speaker 9: The Americans?
1:22
Speaker 8: So you know, and and sure when you travel over
1:26
six but so so in Turkey it's illegal to show
1:30
affection on the property of a mosque.
1:33
Speaker 9: Any mosque in the United to any place it's illegal
1:38
and just to say that's the Islam law and that
1:43
is what's coming to the United States.
1:46
Speaker 8: Good point on that. And when were they arrested? Is
1:49
there a This fascinates me about this shot.
1:56
Speaker 9: Middle The other the other thing is that now you
1:59
talk about Russia, now you know what Russia is doing.
2:04
They're in the process in their state toomb of the
2:06
government proposing to outlaw he jobs.
2:11
Speaker 8: Really and that's the head piece there. But you know,
2:15
Zelenski was on his Sunday address saying that Russia was
2:18
had was waging war against Christianity itself.
2:24
Speaker 9: No, it's the other way around. Christianity is so big here.
2:30
Speaker 8: That's what I thought. I mean when I saw the statement,
2:32
I said, you know, because it seemed like that was
2:35
that was the secret sauce to Putin's power, was that
2:38
he allowed all the churches. He he didn't come in
2:42
and said, you know, we're going to be you know,
2:44
the Soviet Union again. We're gonna we're gonna celebrate the churches.
2:48
We're going to celebrate all the masses and and all
2:50
the and and that seemed to be what he got
2:53
his popularity. Yeah, to a point.
2:57
Speaker 9: But now with all the situation, the problems that have
3:01
been causing that. They're starting to get a little bit
3:05
stricter on the Muslim religion as far as they're not
3:10
gonna do what the United States is allowing Sarier course
3:13
to be set up in this in Russia.
3:16
Speaker 8: Oh going, yeah, we shouldn't have allowed it in the
3:18
United States either. I think if Minneapolis and a couple
3:21
of other places have had it and Russia's had their
3:24
own Trump, I mean we we suborn the Mouhajadeen who
3:28
rebranded themselves the Taliban after a bit. But you know,
3:33
so they're they're saying that even Hajib are not permitted
3:38
in Russia now, not.
3:42
Speaker 9: Though they're proposing in the State Duma, because there's been
3:45
so many terrorist attacks that they're saying there's no way
3:48
of knowing if only the eyes are showing if it's
3:51
a guy or a gal. So they're gonna they're proposing outlawed.
3:56
And the other thing is, right now, Russia is more
4:00
of a Christian nation than the freaking United States. And
4:03
that's sad. Yeah, it is.
4:05
Speaker 8: It really is good stuff, Bob, Thank you for chatting
4:08
with us. Yep, have a great chaser for our first
4:12
things this morning. Speaking of Russia, President Trump said Sunday
4:18
on his way to the US Open he's ready to
4:20
move into the second stage of sanctions against Russia, especially
4:24
on those who buy oil from them. Responding to criticism
4:29
that he's going to war with the city of Chicago,
4:32
the President said, we're not going to war. We're going
4:35
to clean up our cities. We're going to clean them
4:38
up so they don't have five dead people every weekend.
4:41
That's not war, that's common sense. He also said that
4:45
he's his administration anyways planning to target more businesses for
4:50
immigration enforcement. After the raid on the Hyundai facility in
4:54
Georgia led to hundreds of arrests, including three hundred South nationals.
5:01
South Korea's foreign minister said they will travel to the
5:04
United States today to help secure their return. President Trump
5:10
said upon returning from the US Open that individual European
5:15
leaders will be coming to the United States today and
5:19
tomorrow to discuss with the president waste to end the
5:22
Russian invasion of Ukraine. And after weeks of mostly negative
5:27
news and commentary regarding the National Guard deployment in Washington,
5:31
a poll conducted by CBS and Yugov said fifty seven percent.
5:36
Some would say only fifty seven percent of the respondents
5:40
oppose President Trump's deploying the National Guard to the nation's capital.
5:46
Carlos Alcaraz won his second US Open title with President
5:50
Trump in attendance crowd mix of booze and cheers from
5:55
the smattering of people that had made it through heightened
5:58
security to get into the Arthur Ashe Stadium grandstand yesterday.
6:04
Wes Moores was asked on Face the Nation yesterday if
6:08
he intends to serve a full term as governor or
6:11
run for president in twenty twenty eight. He's up for
6:14
reelection in twenty twenty six. He said, yes, I'm going
6:18
to be serving a full term. I'm excited about reelection
6:22
and I'm excited about what I'm going to be able
6:24
to do to the people, I mean, for the people
6:27
of Maryland. President Trump defended Robert F. Kennedy Junior yesterday.
6:33
He said he's a different kind of guy. He's got
6:35
a lot of good ideas, but he's also got a
6:37
lot of ideas. He told reporters yesterday when asked about
6:42
the AHHS secretary and his positions on many things, and
6:46
those are our first things. This Morning brought to you
6:49
by Jcsgold dot com on the Talk media Network.
7:01
Speaker 6: You know a lot of times you have to choose
7:03
between something high quality or something that saves you money.
7:07
Speaker 5: But what if you could get both?
7:08
Speaker 8: Why not?
7:09
Speaker 6: Especially when it comes to healthcare, and that is meta share.
7:12
Speaker 8: You get both.
7:14
Speaker 6: Many families save five hundred bucks a month with meta
7:17
share and that's huge. But it's also true that people
7:19
wind up way more satisfied too, and we know this
7:22
from research of members. There's a lot they like about
7:25
meta share, but especially they love being part of something
7:28
they believe in. And Medashare works too. It has for
7:31
more than thirty years. There are hundreds of thousands of
7:35
members who love having telehealth if they need it. They
7:38
love the huge Ppo network. You could save a ton
7:41
and like it better. Imagine being happy with how you're
7:44
taking care of.

9:05
mid century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them
9:08
nestled in their display case, miniature donut earrings. Oh yes, yes,

Speaker 12: Exercise is hard, so was maintained A healthy diet. Of course,
10:03
neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
10:08
heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
10:12
Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
10:15
few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
10:21
Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
10:24
diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
10:27
changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
10:32
because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,

Speaker 2: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
13:16
the second most Famous Thomas and Charlotte's Good.
13:30
Speaker 18: Four three four eight eight two four two one seven multitasker.
13:44
Speaker 8: That line is to find out how the news is
13:47
impacting you where you are, text message or phone call,
13:51
or you can send an email to JT in the
13:55
Morning Radio at gmail dot com. Charles writes in could
13:59
we he started gofund me account to pay for the
14:02
electricity to electrocute the Charlottesville career criminal stabber based and
14:09
this is I haven't checked this morning, but last night
14:13
there was more money in his legal fund go fund
14:17
me than there was in the final funeral expenses. Go
14:22
fund me for the girl he stabbed and killed, which
14:27
should speak volumes, don't blame go fund myself. You know
14:34
that's that's not the thing. But he goes on to
14:38
ask he saw a story that stuck out to him,
14:41
knowing that we're flagged here in Charlottesville, and I'm famous
14:45
now for being in the middle of the melee that
14:50
was not President Melay, but the melee at the corner
14:57
of Fourth and Market Street in Charlottesville eight years ago.
15:04
And we went there, and i had all the intent
15:08
of doing the same thing and I'm not going to
15:10
fall prey to the same thing again. When my spider
15:13
sense says you need to be there to tell the
15:15
true story, we will go. But he found a story
15:26
published about was it about seven years ago? USA today?
15:33
And I had to chuckle. Rebecca Coffer had a book
15:41
out called Putin's Playbook, Russia's Secret Plan to defeat America,
15:47
and one of her footnotes was to an article about
15:51
the Unite the Right rallies, which I hate the name
15:55
because there was nothing conservative about them, but because they
15:59
said they were people like me. Had to spend most
16:02
of that summer debunking that claim. But it quotes former
16:08
Congressman Tom Garrett, and I had to chuckle. I was
16:12
reading the USA Today article and they never credited me.
16:15
But I did the interview with Tom on the air
16:20
in which he said that he had been briefed by
16:23
FBI officials, and not just he, but Congress in general
16:27
had been briefed by FBI officials in twenty seventeen that
16:33
Russia had played a role in stoking the flames of
16:36
the Unite the Right rally. Garrett told this program my
16:40
prog well, I have to be careful because well, it's
16:44
like David Letterman when he moved to CBS. There's only
16:47
so much I can refer to before somebody files another
16:52
lawsuit against me. And I don't have the audio clip
16:56
because it was still at the other place. They might
17:00
have it, and by all means, if somebody there is
17:03
listening to monitor to see if I say anything about them,
17:06
feel free to email it to me. But Tom Garrett
17:08
on my program said, not only did Russia set up phony,
17:13
and how they did it is they set up multiple
17:16
cascating social media accounts, mostly on Twitter, to jump back
17:23
and recycle and retweet, so you would see a story
17:27
and this is quoting. And if Tom you're out there,
17:30
you can buy all means call and recreate the moment.
17:35
But Charles, he said, what they do is they create
17:38
these cascating social media platforms on multiple computer servers, using
17:44
spoofed web addresses to make it appear like something has
17:49
been retweeted tens of thousands of times, which at the
17:54
time and I'd like to think we're somewhat more inoculated
17:57
by it now would appear to give it some gravity,
18:01
you know, Oh, it's a ten thousand people have retweeted this.
18:06
And he said that the FBI report said they had
18:10
an equal number of pro Trump and pro Hillary Twitter
18:15
accounts designed to bring us to loggerheads at the corner
18:19
of Fourth and Market in Charlottesville that summer of discontent.
18:29
So yeah, Charles, no, without question. And the author was
18:32
her name Deirdrich. She's green. I mean, aside from not
18:39
crediting my radio show from where she heard it, and
18:42
maybe Garrett gave that interview to more people than just me,
18:45
but he was on the air with me and he said,
18:47
JT without question that they set up these bot farms,
18:56
and I will refer to Saint Petersburg, not the one
18:59
in Florida, as one of the sources to it, where
19:02
so many of these Russian tech companies set up their
19:05
bot farms. And it's just rose and rose and rows
19:10
of computers jumping back to one another, liking and re
19:16
liking and then retweeting something so that the algorithm of
19:20
X and Facebook falls prey to the amount of like
19:26
something has because then the presumption is it's got to
19:31
be good, and then retweets it. And so you had
19:36
people who were showing up looking for that kind of
19:42
fight that they wound up having. I means, it's, without question,
19:48
you know, one of the ugliest moments.
19:56
Speaker 14: In my time.
19:58
Speaker 8: But then it brings out one of the very most
20:01
important parts of the Trump presidency version one. You also
20:05
had people that were.
20:08
Speaker 1: Very fine people on both sides.
20:10
Speaker 8: And he's right, and when everyone lost their collective bowel
20:14
control over that statement, I said, hang on a second, here,
20:17
he's right, because there were listeners of my radio program
20:22
who I count on the list of very fine people
20:24
you included, who had shown up there because these tweets
20:29
and bots and whatnot had told them free speech rally
20:33
defend Robert E. Lee's statue. And then they got there.
20:39
I know this because they sought me out in the
20:41
crowd of pepper spray and tear gas to say, Joe,
20:45
what the hell is going on? David Duke is in
20:47
there giving a speech about blood and soil. I said,
20:50
go home, get out of here, now, this is not
20:55
going to end well. And by the time the police
20:59
broke up that riot and Charlottesville, there were like fifty
21:03
white supremacists there, which is the kind of crowd David
21:06
Duke deserves. I appreciate the email on that, Charles, but
21:13
it shows, you know, and this is why, going back
21:17
to our statement earlier about the Internet being an inanimate thing,
21:21
So the Russians using this technology, it's not the technology's fault.
21:29
It's that we allowed ourselves to be victimized by it,
21:34
using our isolation, the silos that we hide ourselves in
21:38
in a world that gives us more chances to interact
21:41
with people than ever before, and we do less and
21:44
less and less of it every day, and that's a shame.
21:54
But that's not the Internet's fault. That's our fault. Four

Speaker 20: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association,
23:06
Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
23:11
better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
23:16
up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
23:20
veterinary teams in exciting ways.
23:23
Speaker 8: We're using AI to develop.
23:25
Speaker 20: Personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
23:31
and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
23:35
on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
23:40
a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
23:44
AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
23:48
your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
23:53
center of our profession. For more information on AI and
23:57

24:04
Speaker 17: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
24:08
Speaker 13: Yes?
24:08
Speaker 17: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
24:13
oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
24:18
to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
24:23
By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
24:28
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
24:33
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this

28:21
going to take us to his notebook and what he's
28:24
been scribbling down in there over a busy weekend of sports.
28:27
Good morning, brother Mac, how are you, sir?
28:31
Speaker 9: Mac?
28:31
Speaker 8: Good morning jud Joe.
28:33
Speaker 1: After a full, full weekend of a lot of hours
28:36
of studying offenses, announcers overreaction Monday, as we just termed it.
28:41
But quarterback Josh Allen rally Buffalo last night. If you didn't,
28:44
you know, if you're just waking up and going, well,
28:46
the Ravens must have won big, right, No, Buffalo scored
28:49
sixteen points in a final four minutes, the win over
28:52
the flock thanks to a late fumble by Baltimore running
28:56
back Derrick Henry, who just absolutely killed it. So I thought,
28:59
I I bring you know, he ran for one hundred
29:02
and sixty nine or whatever it was.
29:05
Speaker 8: Lamar Jackson locker room.
29:07
Speaker 1: Of course I had to have a little reaction from,
29:10
you know, from the Baltimore locker room.
29:12
Speaker 25: Sure, I let a linga for the night, you know,
29:16
because we all hate losing on our tune.
29:18
Speaker 22: You know.
29:18
Speaker 25: I feel like anybody who plan a competitive sport don't
29:20
hate losing, you know, but probably let a lingo to
29:23
night and don't forget about it becase we're gonna have
29:24
to get ready to get prepared for the Browns of Divisional,
29:26
you know, rival to let that go. You know, man,
29:29
he done did enough for us. You know, you scored
29:31
like what eight fifty yards one time, pought another.
29:35
Speaker 1: One like he was just going off, you know, but
29:36
things translation, Hey, Derek, don't worry about it. You know,
29:39
fumble's gonna happen. And by the way, it was the
29:41
first loss for the Ravens ever when they led, when
29:44
they scored over forty points. And then, of course, if
29:47
you want to go a little deeper than that, NFL
29:50
teams are three and three, thy two hundred and twelve
29:53
when trailing by fifteen or more in the final four minutes.
29:56
Speaker 8: Of the fourth real quick. Ever since they ever since
29:59
our odell packed the moving vans and ironically dragged the
30:03
moving vans back to Baltimore. How many times have the
30:07
Ravens scored forty points? I can't imagine that number is
30:11
going to fit on it more than my hand.
30:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would take me most of the morning, and
30:15
you know to find true.
30:17
Speaker 8: But I'm just saying conversationally, generally the Ravens have been agreed. Oh,
30:22
the Ravens won nine to six yesterday. Ray Lewis had
30:25
eighteen sacks. And you know it was always a h
30:28
what was his name, Turner the kicker, Tucker, justin Tucker
30:32
And yeah, Tucker, who.
30:34
Speaker 1: By the way, sitting on the sidelines and home watching Netflix.
30:38
The Bills became the first team in NFL history to
30:40
overcome a fifteen point deficit in the final four minutes
30:44
of the fourth quarter to win a season opener while
30:46
eating snow Cone in Buffalo. Now, the team extended its
30:49
twelve game home win streak and also won the turnover
30:52
battle for the twenty third consecutive game. That's for you
30:54
Bills fans. Then there's Matt Prater, the kicker six NFL team.
31:00
The Cardinals were the last. He was a practice squad
31:03
guy in seven with three teams before he went to Denver.
31:07
Was a practice squad guy there, but then you know,
31:10
made their roster and then he kicked for the Lions
31:12
at Cardinals, and so now he's found a home. Okay,
31:15
So after the game, because you know, naturally fans are
31:18
gonna leave. I mean it's over right, four minutes, you know, Yeah,
31:21
you're down six, Sam, we come on, I gotta get
31:23
to the parking lot. I gotta work on Monday. Well,
31:26
Josh Allen had a message for the Buffalo fans.
31:29
Speaker 26: Tough, weird situation you don't see too often. He came
31:32
in prepared, ready to go. Our team didn't quit. I mean,
31:35
I think there's people that left the stadium. That's okay,
31:37
well we'll be fine, but have some faith next time.
31:40
Speaker 1: I have some faith, you know, family, faith, football, you know,
31:43
it all goes, it all goes handing in all right, now,
31:47
I don't want to spend my year the rest of
31:50
the football you're talking about Aaron Rodgers, depending on what
31:52
the Staelers do, because you know, it's just Aaron Rodgers
31:56
daily daily. Anyway, the Steelers escaped the Jets winning thirty
31:59
four to thirty two. Maybe the most entertaining gigs except
32:01
for me. The Raiders winning on the road, that's another story,
32:04
all right, the forty one year old through four touchdown passes,
32:08
he hit two and a fifty second span and then
32:11
Chris Boswell delivered a sixty year field goal with sixty
32:13
three seconds to go. So this duel with Justin Fields
32:18
and the Jets, and of course naturally the Jets fans
32:20
were you know, it was Steelers at New York Rogers
32:22
twenty two to thirty four tds. He was sacked four times,
32:26
Justin Fields sixteen to twenty two for two eighteen and
32:29
a score. Yes to me, the most entertaining, you know,
32:32
game of the day and Aaron Rodgers post game. Yeah,
32:36
took it to stride.
32:37
Speaker 27: I love beating everybody, so it doesn't matter who it is,
32:41
it doesn't come close to out. It's gonna feel playing
32:44
Green Bay because that was, you know, eighteen years of
32:47
my career. It was nice to win, especially hearing some
32:50
of the cat crawls out there and the boo birds.
32:53
I'm not sensitive about that. I expected that, you know,
32:55
I kind of liked that, but there were probably people
32:58
in the organization didn't think I could play anymore. So
33:00
it was nice to remind those people I still can't.
33:03
Speaker 1: So he's one year contract with the Steelers, and if
33:05
they have a you know, if they have a good
33:07
year and get to the super Bowl, if that's going
33:09
to happen. But I don't think that's going to happen. Okay,
33:11
the morning, he's been so busy with all this NFL
33:13
and it was opening weekend. Now we get ready for October,
33:16
and I wanted to give you a baseball update because
33:18
we get ready for October in a couple of weeks. Right,
33:21
you know, the postseason, the Yankees took two or three
33:23
from Toronto. They now trail by two and Boston is
33:26
three and a half back the Tigers comfortable eight and
33:29
a half game lead. Houston has lost four to six,
33:31
lead Seattle by two and a half. A good friend
33:33
of mine yesterday we were at a birthday party at
33:35
a sports bar that shows every game, every game. I mean,
33:39
if you're going to be a sports bar, what's this score?
33:41
What's the score?
33:42
Speaker 8: Anyway?
33:42
Speaker 1: He told me yesterday, And this is a player, Okay,
33:45
a big player, because he wanted to get me into
33:48
a twenty five dollars knockout pool where you could win
33:52
like thousands. You know, a knockout pool is you got
33:54
to pick a winner every week, and you can't pick
33:56
the same team twice.
33:57
Speaker 8: All right.
33:57
Speaker 1: With that being said, he in April, before the start
34:01
of the Major League Baseball season, he put a thousand
34:03
down on Houston to win the to win the World Series.
34:09
He will make one hundred and twenty thousand on that
34:11
vet if Houston wins the World Series. Anyway, they've lost
34:16
four of the last six.
34:17
Speaker 8: Yeah, but who had Detroit? You know, Detroit's been one
34:20
of the most I mean, the only thing more woe
34:23
be gone than the Detroit's baseball team was Detroit City.
34:27
And I know they showed a little sign of life
34:29
last year. But who had them like dominating the division
34:33
this year?
34:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, well nobody, and so they have. All right, So
34:37
the Phillies in Milwaukee comfortably sitting atop their divisions, Dodgers
34:41
a one game lead over San Diego. Now the wildcard picture,
34:44
which is really because they you know, they've gone to
34:47
the twelve team format. Now Yankees and Red Sox lead,
34:50
the Al Mariners are holding third, Royals on the outside
34:54
looking in by a bunch. National League Cubs, Padres and
34:57
the Mets are two back, so they're trying to go
35:00
that third wild card. And as I said, the twelve
35:02
team format six and six, which will you know, start
35:05
first of October. So I gotta, yeah, I gotta stay
35:08
on top of that because first of all, I love
35:10
this time of the year.
35:11
Speaker 8: Yeah, sure of all the football.
35:12
Speaker 1: And then how about all right, so the two things,
35:15
and Joe and I were talking over the weekend. Virginia
35:19
Tech had the big lead twenty to ten and only
35:24
had twenty one yards of offense in the second half.
35:27
Speaker 8: Unbelievable.
35:28
Speaker 1: And Brent Prye, the seat got a little hotter. And
35:31
I hate to say that because he's one of the
35:33
nicest guys in the world. Bud's phone, Bud Foster, are
35:36
good friend Foster. Bud's phone is going to ring off
35:39
the wall today, all the big time, all the donors,
35:42
all the people.
35:43
Speaker 23: You know.
35:44
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago was Brent Babcock saying, look,
35:46
we got to up the money. We got to have
35:48
more money in the kiddy. We got to become a
35:50
player financially across the whole board.
35:54
Speaker 8: And now you're zero and two.
35:55
Speaker 1: And yes, granted it was two SEC teams. I get
35:58
that Vanderbilt's hot. But Vanderbilt they were down twenty to
36:02
ten at half and scored thirty four straight.
36:05
Speaker 8: Yeah, but you know, from Vanderbilt's standpoint, I mean, you know,
36:08
if you want to get to the college football playoffs,
36:10
moved to the ACC I mean, my god, you know,
36:13
I mean because one of the thirteenth best SEC team.
36:17
Speaker 2: Yeah.
36:18
Speaker 1: So so anyway, there you go.
36:21
Speaker 8: And now a beautiful campus. By the way, if you've
36:24
ever been to Nashville, they have they have a replica
36:27
of the Parthenon on there.
36:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I love no Vanderbilt. You know, our good
36:33
friend Mark Byington is coaching there. You know, the basketball
36:36
coach from you know, Jmu. So Virginia had I mean
36:40
Chandler Morris, I was really rooting for the kid. It
36:44
was just a shootout. Either neither Jeams State or Virginia
36:48
could guard a phone booth. And they you know, they
36:52
had the final drive and it was a terrific drive
36:55
and they got to the like nine yard line or whatever,
36:57
and Chandler just didn't see this corner from and he
37:00
stayed kind of cut off his wide receiver almost pulled
37:02
off the win in the final seconds, but they ended
37:05
up losing the like five hundred yards of offense. So anyway,
37:09
you're one and one, you do come back home to
37:11
play Mike London and William and Mary and so they'll
37:14
probably be two in one, you know after this week
37:16
and then again pick up the piece. Oh yeah, Virginia
37:19
Tech's got Old Dominion, so that makes a big difference too.
37:21
Speaker 8: Yeah, they've lost a few times to Old Dominion. Old
37:24
Dominion likes beating Virginia Tech.
37:26
Speaker 1: So yes, they beat him twice in Norfolk. That's exactly right.
37:30
Speaker 8: Matt mcdonald'll be coaching the team if they lose that.
37:33
Speaker 1: Well, anyway, Bud might be. Bud might be back in
37:36
the box very soon, you know, to get away from coaching.
37:40
So there's your there's your Monday morning over reaction to everything.
37:44
Speaker 8: So and Carlos, this week we'll ride the wave and
37:47
is this this week's the Ryder Cup starts right, Beth Paie,
37:51
No no, no, not to the six twenty six and
37:53
then Alcarez wins the US Open and all that good stuff. Mac,
37:57
thank you man.
38:01
Speaker 28: According to a new report from Discovery Education, ninety two
38:04
percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
38:08
and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
38:11
critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
38:15
but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
38:19
student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
38:22
students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
38:26
forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
38:29
principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
38:33
the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
38:37
said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
38:41
while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
38:45
assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
38:49
students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
38:52
Yet fewer than half of teachers report using AI themselves
38:55
to complete tasks. Visit Discovery education dot com to learn

Speaker 16: When might you be buzzed when you suddenly love everything
43:31
you guys?
43:32
Speaker 3: I love this song, I love these notchas, I love
43:38
Archite fall League. Oh, I love this guy.
43:42
Speaker 5: What's your name?
43:43
Speaker 23: You know what?
43:44
Speaker 3: I'd love a ride when it's time to head out.
43:47
Speaker 16: If you see a buzzed warning sign, call for a
43:49
ride when it's time to go home. Buzz driving is
43:51
drunk driving. A message from NITZA and the AD Council's radio.
43:56
Speaker 5: It's on.
44:11
Speaker 2: On a need to know basis, because you need to
44:15
know the first thing today.
44:33
Speaker 8: I'd said on a Monday morning far up. I want
44:36
to before the Standards and Practices, Omissions and Errors Department
44:43
gets a hold of me. I want to correctify a
44:45
couple of things I said earlier regarding the sweet, sweet
44:49
smell of jasmine wafting from inside your hard drive. I
44:56
had made it out that the grounded pod cast was
45:01
Jasmine Crockett's podcast.
45:03
Speaker 23: It is not.
45:04
Speaker 8: It belongs to a young lady and former Senator John Tester.
45:16
So and I want to spend a moment. I'm going
45:22
to post this picture. I've screencapped a little of John
45:26
Tester from this podcast, and we went and delved into
45:30
the morass that is substack to find it. And I
45:34
have some sweet musings to prove what I was saying
45:39
about Jasmine Crockett. Though you can't see her in her
45:43
shoe closet, and we'll post some pictures of that too.
45:48
But John Tester is wearing an orange sweatshirt because it's
45:52
chili in Montana. John Tester is wearing a sweatshirt that
45:56
says get out the Vote, and the graphics are of
46:02
three what I imagine are Halloween characters, Pirate Skeleton, Pumpkinhead skeleton,
46:10
and Frankenstein. John, what are you inferring there? You all
46:15
tell me? At four three, four eight eight two four
46:17
two one seven you see a series of ghouls that
46:21
appear to be the undead over the slogan get out
46:25
the Vote. What do you think John Tester is trying
46:29
to infer I'm just curious. I know what it says
46:34
to me, But he's as he says during the podcast,
46:38
he's just a dirt farmer on tattooine. Oh no, that's
46:43
a moisture farmer on tatooine. I'm not sure what John
46:46
Tester means when he says he's a dirt farmer, but
46:49
it's certainly, you know, seems to be more lucrative, or
46:54
at least lucrative enough to force him at to have
46:56
to do these substack pages. Anyway, Young Jasmine of Austin, Texas,
47:01
soon to be out of work, you know, trying to
47:04
get her swerve on from inside her shoe closet says.
47:08
Speaker 30: This we know, and I don't want anybody to mistake
47:11
what I'm saying. Just because you are impoverished does not
47:15
mean that you will be a criminal. But I do
47:18
want to be clear that there is a direct link
47:21
between poverty and susceptibility to having to engage in certain things.
47:29
And this is something that I know up close and
47:32
personal as a public defender.
47:35
Speaker 8: This is like ilhan Omar saying that September eleventh, two
47:38
thousand and one was when some people did some things.
47:44
So here she is talking about how understandable it is
47:46
if you're in poverty. From inside a very large shoe
47:51
closet and you can see four shelves full of shoes
47:55
of various styles. Emil de Marcos is on the phone
48:00
wanting her act back. Jazz couldn't John Tester have said
48:08
to her as she was logging into the zoom call, Hey,
48:12
can you can you pick a different spot than a
48:15
giant closet full of dress shoes? Jazz not not really
48:20
making your case about being the hero of the republic.
48:27
Give her credit, as a Texter wrote in earlier. Not Tester.
48:30
Texter wrote in earlier that at least she didn't say,
48:34
let them eat cake. Jay corrected, as I believe Marie
48:39
Antoinette said, why don't they eat cake? But she says
48:46
a bunch of stuff in here about, you know, poverty
48:49
and law enforcement and the Trump administration, and she goes
48:52
on and on and on about it. But you know,
48:55
this is the key takeaway, this this bit about poverty.
49:03
And I love the qualification.
49:05
Speaker 30: We know, and I don't want anybody to mistake what
49:08
I'm saying.
49:09
Speaker 8: Which which means what Jazz we played it in it's
49:14
entirely I did not excerpt it anymore. I don't like
49:17
it when the left excerpts Donald J. Trump, and I
49:19
wouldn't excerpt Jasmine D. Crockett or whatever middle name is.
49:24
Speaker 30: We know, and I don't want anybody to mistake what
49:27
I'm saying. Just because you are impoverished does not mean
49:31
that you will be a criminal.
49:33
Speaker 8: So nobody has said that. But then she goes on
49:35
to say, but if you are impoverished, the odds are
49:38
you could become one.
49:40
Speaker 30: But I do want to be clear that there is
49:42
a direct link between poverty and susceptibility to having to
49:51
engage in certain things. And this is something that I
49:53
know up close and personal. As a public defender, so no.
50:00
Speaker 8: On the wake of the discovery over this weekend of
50:03
the security camera video of this guy on the Charlotte
50:07
transit train stabbing a Ukrainian refugee in the neck, and
50:13
I believe Jasmine somewhere in her shoe closet has a
50:17
Ukrainian flag. Can't see it in the video or not?
50:30
And as we learn about the carjacking that turned into
50:33
a murder of a veterinary professor in Auburn, Alabama, And
50:40
as everyone loses their pumps over I'm sorry, it's a
50:45
shoe joke. Everyone vacates their bowel control over Donald Trump
50:50
tweeting Chicago Chicago Opolis or Chicago Apocalypse, Chicago gobbol its.
51:01
It's impossible, but if you saw the graphic, you'd be
51:05
and then gets asked this, okay that Joey. Let's say, kid,
51:11
are you going to go to war with Chicago? And
51:15
young Jasmine gets into this and talks about how the
51:22
US government is going to war. This is the narrative
51:25
that you'll be inundated with at the water cooler or
51:28
at the donut shop. Oh hell no, I'm just a
51:31
dirt farmer out standing in my field. So Jasmine, let
51:35
me let me ask you what do you think about
51:37
all that stuff?
51:38
Speaker 2: Is it good? Is it bad? And why is it good?
51:40
Or why is it bad?
51:42
Speaker 30: I think it's terrible.
51:44
Speaker 3: First of all.
51:45
Speaker 30: You know, I'm like, how is it that we have
51:49
a government that is hostile towards its people?
51:54
Speaker 8: It's people? Are we is the US government? This is
51:58
we have just a moment or two, but for the
52:00
news at the top of the hour, you tell me,
52:02
are we being hostile to our people? Or are we
52:05
being hostile to the people who are being hostile to
52:09
the other people? And that's the argument, and it goes
52:17
into the due process argument over the Venezuelan vote. And
52:25
somebody needs to take rand Paul, who I like immensely,
52:28
but take them into the skiff and show them all
52:30
the data that said this was a boat full of drugs.
52:35
Somewhere Mark Warner is arguing that Donald Trump promised to
52:38
make life better for poor Americans, yet here he is
52:42
making crack more expensive. I mean, you don't have to
52:47
write for the Babylon b to write some of these headlines.
52:51
Speaker 14: In today's troubled world. Are USA armed forces stand ready
52:55
to protect you and our American way?
52:57
Speaker 2: Of life.
