  Speaker 9: some Greek phrase meeting the last minute. Oh, I'll get
• 1:04
  Speaker 9: to it later. I'll get to it later. Well, now
• 1:06
  Speaker 9: is later, and so I understand. So we set up
• 1:08
  Speaker 9: a text message hotline for you, so you can open
• 1:11
  Speaker 9: up your voice to text and holler some comment that
• 1:14
  Speaker 9: I've triggered you with and hit send, and we are
• 1:18
  Speaker 9: here at four three four eight eight two four two
• 1:22
  Speaker 9: one seven. You can also if you have the time,
• 1:25
  Speaker 9: maybe please hands free. Don't want to be distracted driving
• 1:29
  Speaker 9: dial us up and use it as a traditional phone
• 1:32
  Speaker 9: call as well, or you can email us JT in
• 1:35
  Speaker 9: the Morning Radio at gmail dot com and will never
• 1:41
  Speaker 9: to do our best Richard Burton and deliver your words
• 1:44
  Speaker 9: with all the gravity necessary there blaming the inanimate, we
• 1:52
  Speaker 9: do this because we don't like out of I guess,
• 1:57
  Speaker 9: out of politeness, out of this misunders standing of let
• 2:01
  Speaker 9: he who is without stone without sin cast out the
• 2:04
  Speaker 9: first stone. I don't know, but we are loathed to say,
• 2:09
  Speaker 9: don't do that because it's bad for you, until it's
• 2:15
  Speaker 9: bad for you and then we throw you in jail.
• 2:19
  Speaker 9: And it's the left who loves to say, oh, you
• 2:21
  Speaker 9: two pud him jail to school to pridging pipeline and everything.
• 2:25
  Speaker 9: And they'll be the first ones to hear Donald Trump
• 2:27
  Speaker 9: saying he's considering taking marijuana off the Schedule one list
• 2:37
  Speaker 9: and scream about it when this is one of those
• 2:40
  Speaker 9: things that becomes part of the school you preaching pipeline.
• 2:45
  Speaker 9: But we have to, as a free society, if we
• 2:49
  Speaker 9: are to remain a free society, break ourselves of the
• 2:54
  Speaker 9: addiction that we have to blaming the inanimate. Oh, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 9: the left is the master's class in this is mentioned
• 3:08
  Speaker 9: the word firearm to a member of the progressive left. Oh,
• 3:18
  Speaker 9: my god, guns we have the bad guns. Guns are bad.
• 3:21
  Speaker 9: Guns kill people. You know, people kill people. Sometimes they
• 3:24
  Speaker 9: use guns, sometimes they don't. Inebriates are all over the place,
• 3:30
  Speaker 9: people who ruin their lives becoming addicted to inebriates, whether
• 3:36
  Speaker 9: they be alcohol, and plenty of folks do that, or
• 3:40
  Speaker 9: marijuana or more serious drugs, and there's plenty of discussion
• 3:45
  Speaker 9: about gateway drugs. Abortion is an abomination on human history,
• 3:51
  Speaker 9: and there's a way to stop it that doesn't involve
• 3:55
  Speaker 9: just criminalizing it. All of these things have real answers.
• 4:00
  Speaker 9: I'm know the theologian. I'm just a guy who knows
• 4:05
  Speaker 9: what my seven vices are, knows which ones are pre
• 4:09
  Speaker 9: eminent amongst them, and knows to fight them because otherwise
• 4:13
  Speaker 9: things go sideways really fast in my life. We have
• 4:18
  Speaker 9: our first things this morning, and we can discuss that
• 4:21
  Speaker 9: abstract there. If you're joining us in progress, you're probably saying,
• 4:24
  Speaker 9: what the heck is he talking about. President Trump has
• 4:28
  Speaker 9: suggested that he will loosen federal restrictions on marijuana use
• 4:32
  Speaker 9: early next year. Marijuana is currently part of the Schedule
• 4:36
  Speaker 9: one narcotics, listing no acceptable medical use in the administration
• 4:42
  Speaker 9: is of the mind that there are medical uses for it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 9: Twenty House Republicans joined Democrats to defend federal unions on Thursday.
• 4:52
  Speaker 9: The bill, led by Congressman Jared Golden, Maine Democrat, got
• 4:57
  Speaker 9: to be voted on on the floor because he passed
• 5:00
  Speaker 9: a discharged pocision. Now it's on to the Senate and
• 5:05
  Speaker 9: then to the President's desk if it passes the Senate.
• 5:09
  Speaker 9: The man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk made his first
• 5:12
  Speaker 9: in person court appearance Thursday. He's been in court several
• 5:16
  Speaker 9: times in the past three months since he was taken
• 5:19
  Speaker 9: into custody, but they've always been closed door meetings, leading
• 5:23
  Speaker 9: to media outlets and even Erica Kirk herself calling out
• 5:28
  Speaker 9: for less secrecy and more transparency in the proceedings. President
• 5:33
  Speaker 9: Trump told reporters in the Oval Office yesterday that the
• 5:37
  Speaker 9: United States will soon begin strikes to interdict narcotic shipments
• 5:42
  Speaker 9: moving overland from Venezuela en route to the United States.
• 5:47
  Speaker 9: This coming during a Q and A on the seizing
• 5:50
  Speaker 9: of a Venezuelan freighter. Speaking of that Venezuelan freighter, serge
• 6:00
  Speaker 9: Russian foreign ministers, demanding that the Trump administration explained to
• 6:04
  Speaker 9: the world the US's unilateral actions at seizing this tanker.
• 6:11
  Speaker 9: The Russian foreign minister, who managed to keep a straight
• 6:14
  Speaker 9: face while making this statement, I really hope that the
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: United States, although they consider themselves entitled to conduct such operations,
• 6:22
  Speaker 9: will somehow explain, out of respect for other members of
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: the world community, what facts led them to take such actions.
• 6:32
  Speaker 9: President Trump signed an executive order Thursday aimed at blocking
• 6:35
  Speaker 9: states from crafting their own artificial intelligence regulations, saying that
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: such a hodgepodge of rules would stifle development here in
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: the United States, while Chinese competitors reign with sovereignty over
• 6:51
  Speaker 9: the industry. And those are some of our first things
• 6:54
  Speaker 9: on this Friday morning here all along the talk media network.
• 7:01
  Speaker 10: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 10: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: to look into.
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: And that's meta share.
• 7:10
  Speaker 10: Maybe you've heard joining metas share can save you or
• 7:12
  Speaker 10: your family up to five hundred bucks a month, and
• 7:15
  Speaker 10: that's huge, but it's also true. People are just happier
• 7:17
  Speaker 10: with it. They love being part of something that reflects
• 7:20
  Speaker 10: and promotes their values and what they believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Meta Share works too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 10: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 10: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
• 7:31
  Speaker 10: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide Ppo networks.
• 7:35
  Speaker 10: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
• 7:37
  Speaker 10: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care

  Speaker 27: Automatic Intelligence.
• 15:02
  Speaker 9: AI T Yeah, they say, go the red light comes

  Speaker 9: on like Aussie saying, so you know I was speaking
• 15:10
  Speaker 9: of But I mean there's spilled of wine and people
• 15:12
  Speaker 9: know that. But I mean when when Lowrider comes out
• 15:16
  Speaker 9: of the radio and I hear it on stations all
• 15:20
  Speaker 9: across the country still to this day, and and there's
• 15:23
  Speaker 9: something special about something that takes on that. Do you
• 15:26
  Speaker 9: guys ever sit back and think about that or is
• 15:30
  Speaker 9: it just you know, you're still writing new stuff. We've
• 15:33
  Speaker 9: got a whole new CD with the Christmas stuff titled
• 15:37
  Speaker 9: Yes It's Christmas, New Holiday single from you guys. But
• 15:40
  Speaker 9: do you ever stop and think that, you know, twenty
• 15:43
  Speaker 9: year olds are still listening to Lowrider the same way
• 15:46
  Speaker 9: they were the day it came out.
• 15:49
  Speaker 27: Well, well, actually, I'm just into the fact that, like
• 15:55
  Speaker 27: Jerry said earlier, the last year and the best news
• 16:00
  Speaker 27: and the music that I like and that he likes
• 16:03
  Speaker 27: is the music that we haven't even recorded yet. Read
• 16:08
  Speaker 27: the next one, Yes, our favorite.
• 16:10
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 16:10
  Speaker 28: So But as far as I called the googlers, the
• 16:14
  Speaker 28: young kids who uh, you know, look up our history
• 16:19
  Speaker 28: which you know, whereas back in the day when you
• 16:22
  Speaker 28: I would say, like maybe thirty or forty years ago,
• 16:25
  Speaker 28: you had to pick up a magazine, you know, Variety, Billboy,
• 16:28
  Speaker 28: cash Box, all.
• 16:29
  Speaker 27: That in order to find out the history of or
• 16:34
  Speaker 27: anything that's going on with the groups at that moment
• 16:37
  Speaker 27: or the week before. But now the googlers, which are
• 16:42
  Speaker 27: the young people, they can just google and find out
• 16:44
  Speaker 27: more information about.
• 16:46
  Speaker 25: Me than I can remember.
• 16:49
  Speaker 27: And I like that They come to me and say, hey,
• 16:51
  Speaker 27: did you guys do this?
• 16:53
  Speaker 22: Did you guys?
• 16:54
  Speaker 9: You guys met.
• 16:55
  Speaker 27: Jimmy Henry hun On this year and that year and
• 16:59
  Speaker 27: blah blah, And I'm saying, oh.
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but never remembering better than your So that's the
• 17:05
  Speaker 9: joy of computers. But it's also the peril because it's
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: still infers that somebody actually remember it before it gets
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: entered in there. Well, I'm glad that they're still coming
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: up and they're still going with you guys.
• 17:20
  Speaker 29: So is it easier?
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: I mean, you know, you know, there was a story
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: just earlier in the week, young lady was at the
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: Golden Globe Awards complaining about corporate America and film. She
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: was speaking about film and is the capitalism is ruining
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: the film industry? And I said, you know, I remember
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: people saying that in the sixties and seventies as well.
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: And here we are in a world where, I mean,
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: anyone with an iPhone can shoot a movie if they
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: come up with a story. And and you look at
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: websites all over the place that have folks recording independent songs.
• 17:58
  Speaker 9: Is it better worse? I'm always about folks who have
• 18:01
  Speaker 9: seen a lot of different errors in entertainment. Is it
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: better or worse or just different?
• 18:07
  Speaker 27: Now, well, that is different. I think that every everything
• 18:14
  Speaker 27: that you see or hear is today a different form
• 18:21
  Speaker 27: of art because everybody, like you say, cell phones, rather
• 18:24
  Speaker 27: it be an.
• 18:25
  Speaker 11: Expensive camera or video camera whatever, it's just a different
• 18:29
  Speaker 11: form of art in order to capture the same essence
• 18:33
  Speaker 11: that you see on TV.
• 18:36
  Speaker 27: I don't even know what I see on TV. All
• 18:39
  Speaker 27: the movies I see on Netflix could be cell phones.
• 18:41
  Speaker 27: I don't know the difference anymore.
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: It's true, but.
• 18:45
  Speaker 27: Unless you see behind the scenes, you see all the
• 18:48
  Speaker 27: expensive cameras, but a lot of the maybe within the
• 18:52
  Speaker 27: middle of a movie, could be a cell phone because
• 18:55
  Speaker 27: they have like really high technology.
• 18:58
  Speaker 21: On me.
• 18:58
  Speaker 27: I say, AI, you know, come into play.
• 19:02
  Speaker 22: You know.
• 19:03
  Speaker 27: So I don't know him anymore, and it doesn't matter
• 19:05
  Speaker 27: because I like.
• 19:06
  Speaker 25: To be entertained, just like people like to be entertained.
• 19:10
  Speaker 27: And oh sure, and yeah, it's all just a different
• 19:12
  Speaker 27: form of art. But I'm sure Jerry has something more
• 19:15
  Speaker 27: to say about that, because he comes from the sixties fifty.
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: Well, you're in you're the manager anyway, you're the boss.
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: You're you're the one who's trying to record business.
• 19:28
  Speaker 30: Yeah, when the record business wasn't even a business, you know.
• 19:31
  Speaker 30: It's just a bunch of crazy people like us writing
• 19:34
  Speaker 30: songs and making records not knowing what the hell were
• 19:36
  Speaker 30: you doing. Okay, just we had to do it because
• 19:39
  Speaker 30: that was our drug, you know. And it was like
• 19:42
  Speaker 30: I didn't couldn't do anything else because he didn't want
• 19:44
  Speaker 30: to do anything else. He was wanting to do music
• 19:47
  Speaker 30: even though we weren't making a lot of money because
• 19:49
  Speaker 30: there wasn't a lot of money to make. It changed
• 19:51
  Speaker 30: a lot, you know, over the it involved. I watched
• 19:54
  Speaker 30: the whole thing about In fact, I am going to
• 19:56
  Speaker 30: write a book about, you know, when I started, Yeah,
• 20:01
  Speaker 30: at all of.
• 20:02
  Speaker 25: Us, that's the name of it, when I started.
• 20:04
  Speaker 22: You know, it's.
• 20:05
  Speaker 30: Interesting, Yes, it's it's all expressing art, you know, Yes,
• 20:11
  Speaker 30: it's Christmas is art.
• 20:12
  Speaker 26: You know.
• 20:13
  Speaker 9: No, that's interesting to me because you know a lot
• 20:16
  Speaker 9: is made about woke and what can and can't be
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: in a song anymore? Do you feel that? I mean,
• 20:24
  Speaker 9: you know, because I mean we've gone through ups and
• 20:27
  Speaker 9: downs of you know, what is permissible what isn't permissible.
• 20:32
  Speaker 9: Do you guys ever feel like, oh, we can't play
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: that song anymore, or we got to take that out
• 20:39
  Speaker 9: of the set list because it's a theme that we
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: don't want. Do you do you feel any of that?
• 20:45
  Speaker 26: No?
• 20:46
  Speaker 27: No, we we first of all, when we first got
• 20:49
  Speaker 27: on the scene at the music theme, that is, we
• 20:53
  Speaker 27: never thought that any of our music would.
• 20:55
  Speaker 25: Be played on the radio.
• 20:56
  Speaker 27: Again, we don't have any issues about it music today
• 21:01
  Speaker 27: because I mean, if you think about the lyrics and
• 21:04
  Speaker 27: white can't be be friends. Some of the lyrics could
• 21:07
  Speaker 27: intimidate people today, right, we don't. We don't look at
• 21:11
  Speaker 27: that way because the people that know our music know
• 21:14
  Speaker 27: that we already had this music in play before any
• 21:18
  Speaker 27: politics started changing.
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: Well, so we have no issues about our music.
• 21:25
  Speaker 27: If they don't want to play it, don't live.
• 21:28
  Speaker 21: I like that.
• 21:30
  Speaker 27: We're gonna still perform it.

  Speaker 29: You got your little gift.
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: Yes, we have our we have our sound effect generator.
• 29:45
  Speaker 9: I had a.
• 29:46
  Speaker 35: Chance to visit with Budd yesterday at length and Bud
• 29:49
  Speaker 35: went to the National Football Foundation in Vegas. Uh you know, Uh,
• 29:53
  Speaker 35: Michael Vick was inducted into the National Football Foundation and
• 29:58
  Speaker 35: that's where I'm going to get to that here.
• 29:59
  Speaker 29: And just minutes so, Bud proceeds to tell me the story.
• 30:02
  Speaker 35: He flies out of Charlotte to go to Vegas and
• 30:04
  Speaker 35: he's on the same plane with Jim Phillips, ACC Commissioner,
• 30:07
  Speaker 35: and they had seen each other.
• 30:08
  Speaker 29: They knew each other and kind of waved. But when
• 30:11
  Speaker 29: they went to the baggage.
• 30:12
  Speaker 35: Claim together, Bud just kind of saundered over right next
• 30:15
  Speaker 35: to the commission.
• 30:16
  Speaker 29: And said, well, he goes that CFP thing was something else.
• 30:21
  Speaker 35: Was well as far as Pete Bvakowa. But anyway, Bud
• 30:25
  Speaker 35: told the story shameless plug. It'll be on fostering friends tomorrow.
• 30:29
  Speaker 35: Bud told the story about his little conversation with mister Phillips.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: He was like, you know, we didn't say anything negative
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: about Notre Dame, but we were just promoting Miami, you know.
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: And I said, well, it's just crazy. He said, well,
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: you know I was. I worked at that place for
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: five years. I have two children that went to school
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: there and graduated from there. He said, I am as
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: devout a Catholic as there is in as anybody. And
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: he said, but you know what, I know what who
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: Notre Dame is. You know, if they don't get their way,
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: they're gonna point finger. Is everybody else's fault, but theirs.
• 31:02
  Speaker 29: There it is from the commission. So yeah, anyway, Bud's
• 31:06
  Speaker 29: moment and it was, Yeah, it was terrific.
• 31:09
  Speaker 35: By Bud's flying to next week he'll be flying with
• 31:12
  Speaker 35: James Franklin and you know, doing a lot of stuff.
• 31:14
  Speaker 35: So anyway, with all that, Michael Vick, who turned his
• 31:17
  Speaker 35: life around following the dog fighting thing that followed him
• 31:20
  Speaker 35: and still follows him to this day, he learned to
• 31:22
  Speaker 35: be a heck of a player from a former Virginia
• 31:24
  Speaker 35: quarterback Aaron Brooks, was a couple of years older and
• 31:28
  Speaker 35: was his cousin. Aaron Brooks, who played at UVA of
• 31:31
  Speaker 35: course in the late nineties, but at TACK in ninety
• 31:34
  Speaker 35: nine and two thousand. That was the heyday. Frank Beemer
• 31:36
  Speaker 35: was in his thirteenth year. They beat Uva that year
• 31:41
  Speaker 35: thirty one to seven. They head back to back eleven
• 31:44
  Speaker 35: and one seasons. In ninety nine they played for that
• 31:46
  Speaker 35: national title game against Florida State. That was when the
• 31:49
  Speaker 35: BCS was rocket. They lost forty six to twenty nine.
• 31:53
  Speaker 35: But that year was a juggernaut. Not only did the
• 31:55
  Speaker 35: offense average forty three points a game, but Bud Foster's
• 31:58
  Speaker 35: defense and I think that my in the year he
• 32:00
  Speaker 35: won the Frank Broyles Award.
• 32:02
  Speaker 29: That defense only gave up ten points a game, and
• 32:06
  Speaker 29: they were terrific.
• 32:07
  Speaker 35: Anyway, it was Michael Vick who said at the National
• 32:11
  Speaker 35: Football Foundation, and he was inducted into the football the
• 32:16
  Speaker 35: National Football Foundation Hall of Fame, said that all he
• 32:19
  Speaker 35: tried to do during his career was stay true to
• 32:22
  Speaker 35: himself as a player.
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: You know, I just stayed true to who I was
• 32:26
  Speaker 9: a player.
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: I knew that running the football and passing the football
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: wasn't you know, ideal, you know at certain times, but
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: you know, why not be a trendsetter, why not do
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: it your way? In my offensive coordinator Ricky Bussell, always
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: told me to be myself and let the chips fall
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: what they may.
• 32:41
  Speaker 35: Well he had, you know, he went twenty two and
• 32:43
  Speaker 35: two as a starter, So yeah, I think he you know,
• 32:46
  Speaker 35: because he red shirted that first year. Well, his NFL
• 32:49
  Speaker 35: career broke off in O seven after he pleaded guilty
• 32:52
  Speaker 35: for his involvement in a dog fighting ring. He spent
• 32:54
  Speaker 35: twenty one months in federal prison. His arrest and subsequent
• 32:58
  Speaker 35: conviction garnered him notoriety of course with the general public.
• 33:02
  Speaker 35: It lasted really throughout the rest of his career, and
• 33:04
  Speaker 35: we'll always follow him for sure. And now at press conferences,
• 33:08
  Speaker 35: you know, there's always like, if vick is holding a
• 33:10
  Speaker 35: press conference, we're not going to talk about that. I'm
• 33:12
  Speaker 35: not going to cover that. And he did enter the
• 33:14
  Speaker 35: coaching ranks this year with Norfolk State one and eleven.
• 33:19
  Speaker 25: So it's you know, the.
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: Total flip, right And ironically, you know, and I want
• 33:23
  Speaker 9: to have brought this up when you told me about
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: him taking that job. Norfolk, if you're checking, is the
• 33:30
  Speaker 9: headquarters of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
• 33:33
  Speaker 9: as well.
• 33:34
  Speaker 29: So a very good point.
• 33:36
  Speaker 9: No, it's a very good point.
• 33:37
  Speaker 35: So after and he served a sentence, he signed with
• 33:40
  Speaker 35: the Eagles and O nine and he was a member
• 33:43
  Speaker 35: of the Eagles for five years. He had his greatest
• 33:45
  Speaker 35: statistical season and led the team to the division title
• 33:47
  Speaker 35: in twenty ten. So anyway, with all that being said, uh,
• 33:51
  Speaker 35: he wanted to credit coach Beemer, but sometimes words can fall,
• 33:55
  Speaker 35: you know, when you say a coach tells you just
• 33:58
  Speaker 35: you know, be a good guy, then you have to wonder. Okay,
• 34:01
  Speaker 35: So it naturally surfaced yesterday and a couple of stories.
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: I wish I had the record the coach beingahead, but
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: you know, Frank beingmer being my head coaching being such
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: a huge mental on my life for so many years,
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: I just remembered everything that he told me. And you know,
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: the one thing you always said was do things the
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: right way. You know, it stuck with a lot of
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: my teammates and we all became very successful by just
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: doing things the right way. So just that small message,
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: you know, always translated in our lives, especially in football
• 34:30
  Speaker 8: character whoops.
• 34:31
  Speaker 35: So anyway, he division titled in twenty ten Comeback Player
• 34:36
  Speaker 35: of the Year, fourth Pro Bowl at at that time.
• 34:38
  Speaker 35: In his final two years he played for the Jets
• 34:40
  Speaker 35: and Steelers, primarily as a backup, and of course thanking
• 34:43
  Speaker 35: coach Beemer, you know at that ti end.
• 34:45
  Speaker 29: Yeah, Frank Biemer meant a lot to a lot of people.
• 34:48
  Speaker 35: But you know, so he turned things around, he put it,
• 34:52
  Speaker 35: you know, and those believe me, I'm not casting stones,
• 34:55
  Speaker 35: and I don't mean to do that, but it was.
• 34:58
  Speaker 35: My point is it was a big part of his life.
• 35:01
  Speaker 35: No matter what he where he goes, what he says.
• 35:04
  Speaker 35: And there were some people that that jumped on that
• 35:06
  Speaker 35: SoundBite and said, oh, well, you know, he wasn't that
• 35:11
  Speaker 35: good of a guy, wasn't you know? And so it's
• 35:13
  Speaker 35: it's easy to do that. It's easy to knock somebody.
• 35:16
  Speaker 35: But Michael Vick has you know, has certainly moved on
• 35:18
  Speaker 35: and has certainly done the.
• 35:19
  Speaker 9: Right thing now.
• 35:20
  Speaker 29: So uh, anyway, nasty, but he's in the Hall of Fame.
• 35:24
  Speaker 25: Goes in.
• 35:24
  Speaker 35: At the same time that Nick Saban was inducted into
• 35:27
  Speaker 35: the National Football Foundations, they were out at the hotel.
• 35:31
  Speaker 35: That's where the dinner was. And so anyway, that's why
• 35:34
  Speaker 35: I was just wrapping up. Bud had to travel today.
• 35:37
  Speaker 35: I said, you want to spend some time tomorrow morning,
• 35:39
  Speaker 35: but I think next week I'm going to try to
• 35:40
  Speaker 35: grab him. Uh, next week, because there's a there's just
• 35:43
  Speaker 35: a ton going on the you know, the Brent pry
• 35:46
  Speaker 35: hiring Franklin, putting his staff together, and and now Franklin's
• 35:49
  Speaker 35: flying all over Hokey Land, and Bud says, really, it's
• 35:53
  Speaker 35: almost like he's watching his computer from a cash standpoint.
• 35:57
  Speaker 35: He goes, it's like watching the stock market, he goes,
• 35:59
  Speaker 35: because the hookies are on board, uh financially as far
• 36:04
  Speaker 35: as supporting James Franklin and what you know what that
• 36:06
  Speaker 35: hire meant to the school.
• 36:08
  Speaker 9: I mean, I know we're living in the moment but
• 36:10
  Speaker 9: I still worry about where this is because I feel like,
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: and you know, this is where my world comes to
• 36:15
  Speaker 9: your world. But I feel like these, especially these schools
• 36:18
  Speaker 9: like Virginia and Virginia Tech, these land grant schools and
• 36:23
  Speaker 9: these public universities, at some point the money is going
• 36:27
  Speaker 9: to run out and they're going to turn to their
• 36:30
  Speaker 9: state governments and say, hey, we need more money, and uh,
• 36:36
  Speaker 9: it's going to fall on the taxpayer. So I just
• 36:39
  Speaker 9: can't shake me.
• 36:40
  Speaker 29: You know, you're you're you're not.
• 36:43
  Speaker 35: You're not wrong very often, so you know, you could be,
• 36:46
  Speaker 35: you could be you know, den right, Well, anyway, can
• 36:49
  Speaker 35: you send that to my wife please? I can't absolutely lack.
• 36:53
  Speaker 35: Tomorrow Army Navy and that'll be at three o'clock. And
• 36:58
  Speaker 35: that's that's just worth watching from start to finish, all
• 37:01
  Speaker 35: the all the pregame and you know, the pageantry.
• 37:05
  Speaker 9: My favorite part of that is when they all get
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: together in the middle of the field at the end
• 37:09
  Speaker 9: and they hung and the Army guys and the Navy guys.
• 37:12
  Speaker 9: So worth watching.
• 37:13
  Speaker 29: So and by the way, Joe got his Christmas present yesterday.
• 37:17
  Speaker 9: It was something that Joe and I used to do.
• 37:20
  Speaker 9: Ladies and gentlemen.

  Speaker 29: That is the official cliche.
• 37:23
  Speaker 35: Bell that we Joe and I as a team years ago,
• 37:27
  Speaker 35: used to ring when we felt that there were too
• 37:29
  Speaker 35: many cliches.

• 44:43
  Speaker 9: for you, and that there's lots of decorations and warm
• 44:46
  Speaker 9: feelings and hopefully there's going to be lots of family

  Speaker 26: celebrate the Savior's birth comes faster every year, isn't it
• 45:00
  Speaker 26: it does?
• 45:01
  Speaker 9: I think, I think you know, that's just my shopping
• 45:04
  Speaker 9: list talking, however, but there's so much to give, give
• 45:08
  Speaker 9: thanks for, and a reminder that our liberties and our
• 45:12
  Speaker 9: rights don't come from government. Despite what Tim Kaine said
• 45:17
  Speaker 9: on the Senate floor once these these come from God,
• 45:20
  Speaker 9: and it's just up to the folks like you who
• 45:23
  Speaker 9: swear an oath to the government to protect them, at
• 45:25
  Speaker 9: least in this.
• 45:29
  Speaker 25: Constitution.
• 45:30
  Speaker 9: Yep. Absolutely, So I wanted to ask you about the
• 45:35
  Speaker 9: Affordable Care Act extensions, these subsidies, and that we've had
• 45:42
  Speaker 9: a good bit of discussion this week about subsidy, and
• 45:45
  Speaker 9: that there isn't anything you can point to in human history,
• 45:49
  Speaker 9: never mind American history, where subsidizing something makes it less expensive.
• 45:55
  Speaker 9: Incoming governor who you served with in Congress, keeps saying
• 45:59
  Speaker 9: she's going to make everything more affordable by basically subsidizing it,
• 46:04
  Speaker 9: either on the supply side or the retail side of it.
• 46:09
  Speaker 9: This is a bad formula economically for Virginia and I
• 46:14
  Speaker 9: think any state that undertakes it, Bob, and the United
• 46:17
  Speaker 9: States in general. And I hope it seems like the
• 46:21
  Speaker 9: President teeters sometimes on these kind of subsidy discussions, especially
• 46:26
  Speaker 9: when he's getting hit about affordability. You know, what was
• 46:29
  Speaker 9: your view about the Senate vote on the Affordable Care
• 46:32
  Speaker 9: Act subsidy in first place, But in the grand or
• 46:34
  Speaker 9: abstract what I'm saying about, you know, what we have
• 46:37
  Speaker 9: to be afraid of regarding just giving into the inclination
• 46:41
  Speaker 9: to subsidize.
• 46:43
  Speaker 26: It's really concerning how many Republicans don't fully recognize the
• 46:48
  Speaker 26: harm of government subsidies, government control, price controls, and that
• 46:52
  Speaker 26: sort of thing. But first off, we had four hundred
• 46:55
  Speaker 26: and sixty billion dollar deficit in the first two months
• 46:58
  Speaker 26: of this year. So the first two months of the
• 47:01
  Speaker 26: fiscal year October and November, four hundred and sixty billion
• 47:04
  Speaker 26: dollar deficit. Administrate, the White House spends things and says, hey,
• 47:08
  Speaker 26: revenues up, We've got record revenue. And that's true. Tariffs
• 47:12
  Speaker 26: and tax revenue receipts are up because of the economy
• 47:15
  Speaker 26: is improving in Trump's terror policies, but the spending is
• 47:18
  Speaker 26: out pacing the revenue. So four hundred and sixty billion
• 47:21
  Speaker 26: in the first two months, just multiply that out time
• 47:24
  Speaker 26: six you're on track for two and a half to
• 47:26
  Speaker 26: a three twenty dollars deficits here. So number one, were bankrupt.
• 47:29
  Speaker 26: Number two, let the subsidies that were expanded. Against subsidies
• 47:33
  Speaker 26: are bad. They never work, They make things worse, they
• 47:35
  Speaker 26: make things more expensive, or they make them more scarce.
• 47:38
  Speaker 26: As private producers get out of the markets, but let
• 47:42
  Speaker 26: them expire at the end of day. That's the first thing.
• 47:44
  Speaker 9: Do no harm.
• 47:45
  Speaker 26: Democratic go first, do no harm. These were enhanced by
• 47:48
  Speaker 26: Biden during COVID. They were temporary when the Democrats did it,
• 47:51
  Speaker 26: they were supposed to be temporary. Let those expire, and
• 47:55
  Speaker 26: then let's work on market based reforms that get the
• 48:00
  Speaker 26: government out of the healthcare business, which we can do gradually,
• 48:02
  Speaker 26: but first let them expire.
• 48:04
  Speaker 9: Well it certainly you can't drive around any town of
• 48:07
  Speaker 9: any size and not see these clinics, these walk in
• 48:12
  Speaker 9: clinics and things like that. I just can't help but
• 48:14
  Speaker 9: think this is the answer. It's kind of hiding in
• 48:18
  Speaker 9: plain sight almost. It's living within the subsidy nation. But
• 48:22
  Speaker 9: if we were to get out of the business of
• 48:25
  Speaker 9: subsidizing everything, I think these clinics certainly could be part
• 48:29
  Speaker 9: of a real free market answer. Am I wrong about that? Bob?
• 48:34
  Speaker 26: You said the key word there, free market answer. We
• 48:36
  Speaker 26: don't have true competition, we don't have price transparency, we
• 48:41
  Speaker 26: don't align the interests of the individual with the federal dollars.
• 48:46
  Speaker 26: If you will, again, when you hide and cover up
• 48:48
  Speaker 26: the cost of things, and you don't have an assenten
• 48:50
  Speaker 26: to shop for it or to or to compare prices
• 48:54
  Speaker 26: and that sort of thing. Then again you get what
• 48:56
  Speaker 26: we have here. And so there's a lot of good
• 48:58
  Speaker 26: ideas coming out of the Republican side that you be
• 49:00
  Speaker 26: cobbled together. I have some confidence that hopefully they bring
• 49:03
  Speaker 26: some of those to the floor next week as the
• 49:05
  Speaker 26: Senate apparently it is going home, but the House will
• 49:07
  Speaker 26: be in session next week. There's a lot of good
• 49:09
  Speaker 26: market driven, incentive type solutions from people like Rand Paul
• 49:14
  Speaker 26: and Rick Scott and Chip Roy and so forth. But
• 49:17
  Speaker 26: the first step is don't make it worse. Don't betray
• 49:21
  Speaker 26: the trust of the American people by Republicans extending these
• 49:24
  Speaker 26: Democrats subsidies that are bankrupting the country, that have made
• 49:27
  Speaker 26: healthcare more expensive, that don't work, and that they voted
• 49:30
  Speaker 26: against when the Democrats did it.
• 49:32
  Speaker 21: Well.
• 49:33
  Speaker 9: We've seen though, both in the US House and in Indiana,
• 49:37
  Speaker 9: Republicans fearing, you know, backlash from TV news anchors or whoever.
• 49:42
  Speaker 9: The banklash is supposedly coming from giving in on things
• 49:47
  Speaker 9: the discharge petition against you, allowing for and to take
• 49:53
  Speaker 9: down to the President's Executive Order on government unions, something
• 49:57
  Speaker 9: even FDR was against nowadays, all the Democrats are for them,
• 50:01
  Speaker 9: and apparently thirteen Republicans who were scared enough of retribution
• 50:07
  Speaker 9: in their district. And now you know the Indiana Senate
• 50:11
  Speaker 9: voting against their redistricting proposal and all the Republicans turning
• 50:16
  Speaker 9: on that lest they face heat at home as well.
• 50:19
  Speaker 9: I know we're supposed to be representing our constituents, but
• 50:22
  Speaker 9: are we worried more about the five percent they get
• 50:25
  Speaker 9: on the evening news Bob too much and not the
• 50:28
  Speaker 9: real people who have real issues? And wasn't that the
• 50:32
  Speaker 9: lesson from Virginia's election that you know, there are real
• 50:36
  Speaker 9: things that we can talk about and message better on.
• 50:41
  Speaker 26: Well, there's four senators Republican senators. I believe it was Ford.
• 50:45
  Speaker 26: I don't want to say their names. I may get
• 50:47
  Speaker 26: wrong exactly who they were, but there are four liberal
• 50:48
  Speaker 26: Republican senators who voted with the Democrats to extend Obamacare
• 50:52
  Speaker 26: subsidies last night. Where is the call by President Trump
• 50:56
  Speaker 26: to primary them? Where is the commitment he's going to
• 50:59
  Speaker 26: primary these liberal Republicans instead of going after conservatives Number one?
• 51:03
  Speaker 26: Number two? Joe Sadly, I'm going to predict uspite of
• 51:06
  Speaker 26: what we've said already today and other times, Republicans are
• 51:09
  Speaker 26: going to make a bad deal. Trump's going to call
• 51:11
  Speaker 26: for them to make a bad deal. They're going to
• 51:13
  Speaker 26: extend the Obamacare subsidies. If not next week, they'll do
• 51:16
  Speaker 26: it soon or by the end of the year or
• 51:18
  Speaker 26: in January, because they will wrongly fear the midterms for
• 51:23
  Speaker 26: not doing what Democrats want, instead of giving the American
• 51:26
  Speaker 26: people a clear choice by doing something that will actually
• 51:29
  Speaker 26: help them.
• 51:30
  Speaker 9: It's it is concerning because I think, you know, we're
• 51:33
  Speaker 9: seeing populism, and you know, it's fun when what is
• 51:38
  Speaker 9: conservative is popular, but sometimes it people don't realize how
• 51:43
  Speaker 9: popular it is, Bob, and we have to we have
• 51:47
  Speaker 9: to get the silent majority engaged. We were talking about messaging.
• 51:51
  Speaker 9: You've you've been through this mill. You know, we don't
• 51:55
  Speaker 9: message well on the economy. We we talk like think
• 51:58
  Speaker 9: tank professors rather than Hey, things are expensive, and here's
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: my plan to fix it. You know, you and Chip
• 52:08
  Speaker 9: Roy your your friendship UVA alumni as well, and I'm
• 52:13
  Speaker 9: sure you and he battled over liberty versus uv A
• 52:16
  Speaker 9: over time, but you you two were two of the
• 52:19
  Speaker 9: real leaders, you know, in a Congress that seems to
• 52:23
  Speaker 9: bereft of that Reagan ability to say here's what's going on,
• 52:28
  Speaker 9: and here's here's the better solution for it, and uh,
• 52:33
  Speaker 9: you know, I feel like Republicans just you know, we
• 52:35
  Speaker 9: need you. Never mind the digital media consultants. We these
• 52:39
  Speaker 9: tire more messaging consultants because we're getting our clocks cleaned
• 52:43
  Speaker 9: on things like h stuff being expensive, even if it's
• 52:47
  Speaker 9: the Democrats that have made it expensive.
