"You (BEEP)ed Up, You Trusted Us." (Friday, January 16, 2026, Hour 3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Today, I'm thrilled to announce my plan to lower health
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: care prices for all.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Amount needs to know basis, because you need to know
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: the first thing today.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: George said, steal metem.
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: You have a day at least for work when the
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: sun comes up, drops a.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Pet at the school.
• 0:23
  Speaker 5: Not in the way.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Joe has everything, a dream, do all the treasures and
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: needs no one that Joe's all smiled.
• 0:33
  Speaker 6: He only is.
• 0:36
  Speaker 7: Let it be, Joe. Thank you for letting me be
• 0:39
  Speaker 7: of service to you this morning.
• 0:41
  Speaker 8: I want to be Joe.
• 0:45
  Speaker 7: You know the gig. I'll tell you what happened last night.
• 0:48
  Speaker 9: I'll tell you what my analysis of the debris field is. Oh,
• 0:53
  Speaker 9: you'll get that, no extra charge for that. It's like
• 0:57
  Speaker 9: onions on your hamburger.
• 1:00
  Speaker 7: And you got to ask me to take it off
• 1:02
  Speaker 7: if you do.
• 1:03
  Speaker 9: And then, of course I want to hear about how
• 1:05
  Speaker 9: it's impacting you where you are four.
• 1:07
  Speaker 7: Three, four eight eight two four to two one seven.
• 1:13
  Speaker 9: A couple of people triggered by things said already on
• 1:16
  Speaker 9: the program will reset those and give you a chance.
• 1:21
  Speaker 7: Let me see who this is.
• 1:22
  Speaker 9: We were just having issues with Mike driving through the
• 1:25
  Speaker 9: land of offensive cell phone towers. You know, you know, Mike,
• 1:29
  Speaker 9: I think this is Mike back with us, right, you're
• 1:31
  Speaker 9: telling me, Okay, Mike, you're back with us. You know
• 1:36
  Speaker 9: you know the county, the county that you live in
• 1:39
  Speaker 9: around Charlottesville, Virginia. I think if they designed their cell
• 1:42
  Speaker 9: phone towers to look like extended middle fingers, they might
• 1:46
  Speaker 9: do better.
• 1:49
  Speaker 10: Because they give the middle finger choot actual laws and
• 1:55
  Speaker 10: as the many of us voted to not in first search,
• 2:00
  Speaker 10: and laws they disagree with.
• 2:02
  Speaker 9: Yep, well you're yeah. President Obama told us we're allowed
• 2:06
  Speaker 9: to do that. So you know they're just getting on
• 2:08
  Speaker 9: with their Obama.
• 2:12
  Speaker 10: Yeah. Just choose sayings right quick? Three words you think
• 2:17
  Speaker 10: about abduction, capture, and what does the third one arrest? Okay,
• 2:25
  Speaker 10: relating to one person, because it depends on how you
• 2:29
  Speaker 10: view the matter. Think of like a president of a
• 2:33
  Speaker 10: foreign country or something. Second, saying before I lose this
• 2:38
  Speaker 10: serface going around another ben is farmers in France or
• 2:43
  Speaker 10: upset that they're actually going to how you compete in
• 2:47
  Speaker 10: the open ecomedy and so enjoy the fission. Thank you
• 2:52
  Speaker 10: for your service.
• 2:53
  Speaker 9: Well, we reported on that French story a couple of
• 2:55
  Speaker 9: days ago three hundred and fifty farmers surrounding the French parliament.
• 3:02
  Speaker 9: Honest to goodness, pretty much every week there's some other
• 3:06
  Speaker 9: segment of the French population that's striking to get the
• 3:11
  Speaker 9: government to pay attention to them. They're all intertwined. They've
• 3:14
  Speaker 9: managed to find ways to shut down. When you see
• 3:17
  Speaker 9: the indivisible crowd here in the United States take over
• 3:21
  Speaker 9: major thoroughfares and put themselves in great harm to stand
• 3:25
  Speaker 9: in front of oncoming traffic, they're trying to be like
• 3:28
  Speaker 9: the French, because the French will shut the whole government
• 3:31
  Speaker 9: down for weeks on end if it happens once every
• 3:35
  Speaker 9: seven years.
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: We soil ourselves.
• 3:38
  Speaker 9: The French shut down their government and shut down their
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: major cities every couple of weeks for somebody else's riot
• 3:48
  Speaker 9: because their particular self interest group isn't getting what they want.
• 3:57
  Speaker 9: And that's all of these governments have fallen.
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: And pray to it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 9: It's why I rail against democracy. You know, democracy is
• 4:05
  Speaker 9: not what everyone makes it out to be. You know, well,
• 4:08
  Speaker 9: democracy is how you wind up with guys like Vladimir
• 4:12
  Speaker 9: Putin elected democratically.
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: Right, So at four.
• 4:17
  Speaker 9: Three four eight eight two four two one seven you
• 4:20
  Speaker 9: join in to the fray as you see fit. But
• 4:22
  Speaker 9: let's get our first things out on the periphery here first,
• 4:27
  Speaker 9: so that people know what's going on. President Trump, as
• 4:31
  Speaker 9: you heard the clip there, as we open the program,
• 4:33
  Speaker 9: has announced a direct to consumer subsidy program to help
• 4:37
  Speaker 9: you pay for your health care so that you can
• 4:41
  Speaker 9: make the choices rather than other people. He didn't announce
• 4:44
  Speaker 9: whether the other people's subsidies like the health insurance providers
• 4:48
  Speaker 9: would be stopped, and that's how it would be paid for.
• 4:51
  Speaker 9: But you know it's something. It ain't nothing as those say.
• 4:57
  Speaker 9: But now the devil will be in the detail. But
• 5:00
  Speaker 9: he wants consumers to be able to pick things like
• 5:03
  Speaker 9: direct primary care associations and helped savings accounts to help
• 5:08
  Speaker 9: them pay for their own medical care. Meanwhile, in the
• 5:12
  Speaker 9: United Nations, finally, Iran and the United States were face
• 5:18
  Speaker 9: to face as the Security Council debated whether the crackdown
• 5:25
  Speaker 9: on protests in Iran have killed twenty six hundred people
• 5:29
  Speaker 9: or more than twelve thousand. Mike Waltz, no relation to
• 5:34
  Speaker 9: the Minnesota governor, US ambassador to the UN, said quote, colleagues,
• 5:39
  Speaker 9: let me be clear, President Trump is a man of action,
• 5:42
  Speaker 9: not endless talk like we see here at the United Nations.
• 5:46
  Speaker 9: He has made it clear that all options are on
• 5:49
  Speaker 9: the table to stop the slaughter, and no one should
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: know that better than the leadership of the Iranian regime.
• 6:00
  Speaker 9: While President Trump met with the opposition leader from Venezuela,
• 6:05
  Speaker 9: Marina Maria Corina Machato, and she told the press afterwards
• 6:11
  Speaker 9: she gave President Trump her Nobel Peace Prize as a gift.
• 6:15
  Speaker 9: The Nobel Institute said Machado could not give her prize
• 6:19
  Speaker 9: to Trump, even if it was purely a symbolic gesture.
• 6:25
  Speaker 9: Canada has agreed to a tariff deal with China over
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: electric cars and canola oil seeds. Canada has agreed to
• 6:36
  Speaker 9: cut its hold on to your Hats one hundred percent
• 6:39
  Speaker 9: tariff on Chinese electric cars, and China has agreed to
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: cut its eighty four percent tariff on canola oil. I
• 6:47
  Speaker 9: thought the United States were the only ones with high tariffs, and.
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: Those are some of our first things this morning.
• 7:01
  Speaker 11: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 11: people are actually happier with it, that sounds like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 11: to look into. And that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
• 7:10
  Speaker 11: joining metas share can save you or your family up
• 7:13
  Speaker 11: to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but.
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: It's also true.
• 7:16
  Speaker 11: People are just happier with it. They love being part
• 7:19
  Speaker 11: of something that reflects and promotes their.
• 7:21
  Speaker 12: Values and what they believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 11: Meta Share works too. It's been around for thirty years
• 7:26
  Speaker 11: now and members have shared more than seven billion dollars
• 7:30
  Speaker 11: of each other's bills. People love having telehealth and a
• 7:33
  Speaker 11: huge nationwide PPO network. So yeah, really, you can save
• 7:36
  Speaker 11: a ton and like it better. Imagine being happy with
• 7:39
  Speaker 11: how you're taking care of your health care, whether you're
• 7:41
  Speaker 11: self employed or part of the gig economy, or you
• 7:43
  Speaker 11: just want to plan that you're happy with.
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: Here you go.
• 7:46
  Speaker 11: You can call right now and get a price within
• 7:48
  Speaker 11: two minutes, a very very smart use of two minutes.
• 7:51
  Speaker 11: Here's the number you need.
• 7:52
  Speaker 12: It's eight five to five share forty eight five five
• 7:56
  Speaker 12: Share forty eight five five share forty.
• 8:02
  Speaker 13: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
• 8:05
  Speaker 13: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
• 8:07
  Speaker 13: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
• 8:10
  Speaker 13: and vulnerable. We found GETCCL dot com. Get CCL dot

  Speaker 14: You were strolling along in Goodwill when, just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 14: mid century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them
• 9:08
  Speaker 14: nestled in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 15: Oh yes, yes, your favorite half breakfast pastry, half all
• 9:18
  Speaker 15: day dessert food made into your favorite form of ear candy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 15: Oh my, those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger
• 9:27
  Speaker 15: within you.
• 9:29
  Speaker 14: Do you smell that? That's the sugary center of shopping.
• 9:34
  Speaker 16: Success for this is goodwill, And with every item you buy,
• 9:40
  Speaker 16: you fund local job training and more so, go forth,
• 9:45
  Speaker 16: bring home those donut earrings and bring home.
• 9:49
  Speaker 14: So much good to your community. Goodwill bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 17: Exercise is hard, so is maintained a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 17: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 17: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 17: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 17: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 17: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
• 10:24
  Speaker 17: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 17: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 17: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 17: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor,
• 10:40
  Speaker 17: eat better, get moving, Visit check up america dot org,

• 11:52
  Speaker 22: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:55
  Speaker 22: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Sure? We'll probably stay together.

• 12:07
  Speaker 7: Okay, Now tell me what to do?
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Can it bar.
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: Cramp?

• 12:27
  Speaker 22: Are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 14: Yeah?
• 12:30
  Speaker 11: I'm pretty sober.
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 21: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 21: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 21: or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving. A message

  Speaker 2: The First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Media Network, All naturally and free of artificial intelligence.
• 13:28
  Speaker 9: One of the consuming issues at the Consumer Electronics show
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: in and amongst the robot lawnmowers and the big, big, big,
• 13:37
  Speaker 9: big big TVs that I think were larger than the
• 13:40
  Speaker 9: one that was at the ballpark I used to go
• 13:42
  Speaker 9: to when I was a kid, was what and where
• 13:46
  Speaker 9: do we go with artificial intelligence? Barna along with Glue,
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: have found that more than two and five adults regularly
• 13:57
  Speaker 9: use smart home devices in devices, assistance and facial recognition,
• 14:02
  Speaker 9: all driven by artificial intelligence and joining us to talk
• 14:07
  Speaker 9: about the guardrails and things that might come about in
• 14:11
  Speaker 9: This is Brian Shaw of Glue. Good morning, Brian, how
• 14:16
  Speaker 9: are you Ri?
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: Thanks for having me. I'm great.
• 14:19
  Speaker 9: So Virginia's General Assembly, as are about thirty other General Assemblies,
• 14:25
  Speaker 9: are all beginning their sessions in either last week or
• 14:30
  Speaker 9: next week, and a lot of them are trying to
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: grapple with the idea of what should the law that
• 14:37
  Speaker 9: governs the land look like when it's trying to govern
• 14:43
  Speaker 9: artificial intelligence and its uses. You know, where does your
• 14:48
  Speaker 9: research fall. It certainly seems like it's becoming a relatively
• 14:52
  Speaker 9: commonplace product, whether people realize it or not.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: Yes, AI is absolutely everywhere.
• 14:58
  Speaker 23: You know.
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: It is the most powerful and transformative technology that humanity
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: probably will ever see, and there is really an urgent
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: need for us to steward it responsibly, and so Gloom.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: We've been working on several things, but one of the
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: things that we recently launched was called the Flourishing AI Benchmarks,
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: and essentially it's a it's an effort in research to
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: score AI, artificial intelligence and its large language models against
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: dimensions of human flourishing. We define human flourishing is promoting
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: the human well being, whether it's in the area of finance,
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: or faith or relationships. And so what we saw with
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: our latest scoring is that nearly all of the AI
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: large language models had a score of a C or
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: a D. And that really isn't a passing score. Yeah,
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: and so we you know, we have begun work on
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: wrapping these large language models with security and ethics and
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: values so that those scores could be more in the
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: passing grades. Because we know that AI is speaks based
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: on what is trained on. So we need to be
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: people who are aware of the AI that we're interacting with.
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: So big news story this first couple of days of
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: the week is about groc x ai and I guess
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: putting the x in. XAI has been caught by several
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: ironic countries like Malaysia and Indonesia being banned from their
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: platforms because people were using them to take clothes off
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: of photographs and create nude pictures there. I've made the
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: analogy that it's like a kid with one hundred and
• 16:48
  Speaker 9: sixty IQ drawing naked girls in his school book instead
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: instead of doing math equations.
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: You know, how much of that.
• 16:57
  Speaker 9: Is our fault for what we're asking AI to do,
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: and how much of it is just naturally where AI
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: is going to go and can we define it.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: With all technology, there is a huge upside and there's
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: a huge townside, right, So if we think historically all
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: the way back to the printing press, the mention of
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: the roads, which were a powerful technology at the time,
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: there's always an upside with the upside of increased trade
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: or the upside of increased networking, But there's always a downside.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: We've seen out of the social media revolution some really
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: negative social implications on the youngest of our generations, and
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: the same is true with AI. But these things that
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: we're seeing that are sad, that are harmful to society,
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: we need to be very very aware that this is
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: very possible and at the same time there will be
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: very big upsides. And it's as the upsides come we
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: have to be more aware and more clear and train
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: our children and our families and our people to practice
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: the serve and to be a part of this conversation
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: around what is AI, what AI am I using, and
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: how am I interacting with it?
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: Is there a reasonable place in AI artificial intelligence to
• 18:14
  Speaker 9: you know, at the risk of not wanting, you know,
• 18:17
  Speaker 9: a nanny that's ready to call the authorities. If somebody
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: asks or something wrong to still say I don't think
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: we should do this, or sort of sort of you know,
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: a consulting attorney if you will. But you know, I say, hey, AI,
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: can you take that picture of Joe Thomas and take
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: all his clothes off and generate a nude picture? In
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: the AIS response would be I don't really think we
• 18:41
  Speaker 9: should do that.
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: Is there a programming? Is there a way? It seems
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: like that's what you're talking about.
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: With this flourish AI that Glue is trying to put
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: together is to teach AI. You know that at very
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: least the seven Deadly Sins and the seven Profound virtues,
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: so that it can say I don't think we should
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: do that when you ask it to yes.
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: So the AI that we are working on is wrapped
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: with exactly what you're talking about. It's these you know,
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: if I had an analogy, it's the parent who says
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: you can't go here and you can't do this. All
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: AI is trained on data, and then it's trained on prompting,
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: so it's saying, here's what we want you to do.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: And so we have developed a series of tools that
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: have allowed us to help these models, to align these
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: models towards values and ethics and standards, and we've seen
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: these scores increase near the passing grades and so we
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: know this works. We know that it is possible, and
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: we would encourage anyone building AI tools to be aware
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: of the tools that what they're building on. You know,
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: you need to be building with AI and large language
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: models that are wrapped with security and ethics and standards.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: That is something you absolutely need to be doing well.
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: Brion I appreciate Brian Shaw as a director at Glue.
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: You can find them online at glue dot com. Can
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: people take a look around or test out your flourish
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: AI model and see how it works, to see if
• 20:12
  Speaker 9: it still does the things that we wanted to do,
• 20:14
  Speaker 9: like research like crazy without going off the rails.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: Absolutely. You can check out our leaderboard and where the
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: scores are listed at glue dot com, g l oo
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: dot com, slash fai and then there's plenty more resources
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: on there as well that you can check out.
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: Well, thank you so much for doing this and also
• 20:33
  Speaker 9: for joining us to talk about it brand and you
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: have a wonderful weekend. Thank you so much. Four or
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: fourth three four eight A two four two one seven is.
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: It's a couple of quick notes here, and I like
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: this one because it sets up further conversation Max coming
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: up with sports obviously after the news, but I want
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: to delve into this thought because we were talking about
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: President Trump and his healthcare proposal yesterday, which is to
• 21:12
  Speaker 9: give money to citizens and then let them choose, and
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: many many folks indicative in this tax from Terry saying
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: yet more taxpayer funded subsidies. Do I get to choose
• 21:28
  Speaker 9: which people get the money from my taxes? And that's
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: again fair Hide Act. We talked about that earlier in
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: the week. But Barry writes in this one and this
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: is just a killer, he said, Joe, It's a simple
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: law to fix. Make it so insurance companies, when they
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: deny certain coverage levels, the patient can't be held accountable
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: for it. Stop the hospitals from turning around when the
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: insurance company bails on coverage and charging the patient in instead.

  Speaker 2: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: Thank you for letting us be of service to you.
• 28:19
  Speaker 9: It's time for our sports director Mac McDonald to join
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: us from a land where it's so cold that they're
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: putting parkas over their cargo shorts. This morning thirty degrees
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: in Florida, as all the milk and bread has been
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: taken from every pigly wiggly in the sunshine, Cily.
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: Some somewhere there's a book waiting to be written Crocs
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: and Parkers, you know, park Is and Crocs somewhere.
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: I used to laugh.
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: So I lived in Hyenas, Massachusetts for a while, and
• 28:49
  Speaker 9: you see all these pictures of the Kennedys and they're
• 28:53
  Speaker 9: all wearing like sweatshirts and shorts out on the boat,
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: you know, and they're out there and the compound whatever,
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: and I'm like, what a dumb thing. If you're wearing sweatshirt,
• 29:06
  Speaker 9: why are you wearing shorts? And then I lived in
• 29:08
  Speaker 9: Hyannas and I realized that that's appropriate. Believe it or not,
• 29:12
  Speaker 9: it actually works because we do.
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: You know, we played golf the other day, sixty degree day,
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: and yeah, I wear shorts and a golf sweater. Sure
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: it just it happened. So all right, it's the last
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: day of the portal. Okay, Indiana and Miami. They've got
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: a five day window following their championship game. So anyway,
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: Indiana is already the number one school or one of
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: the top three anyway, I'll show you that in a minute.
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: But here here was the catch this week that prompted
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: me and I said, I had a Mintlona, I said, Friday,
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: I'm going to talk to Joe about the portal because
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: of the numbers, you know, the rankings, what's going on?
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: Sure?
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: And so the states, the states that where there's not
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: a state income text, I e. Florida. Okay, it was
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: one of them. So it was used. And they have
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: their uh because they're the Knights, and their mascot is
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: called Nitro. So they took pictures of Nitro holding bags
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: of cash above his head. Nice, and they took to
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: social media and exit and said, come to Florida, come
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: play for UCF. There's no state income tax. So they
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: so these other schools, Houston UNLV, the UTEP miners, the
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: panthers at Florida International, they're all, you know, copying what
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: UCF was doing, going, oh, what a recruiting thing that is.
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: Uh So anyway, all right, they never had to think
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: about that before, did you.
• 30:39
  Speaker 8: I know, Well, just one of the many caveats, right, Well,
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: let's thanks to Europe. It's the final countdown the banded Europe.
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: And if you remember Europe. God bless you. I just
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: I looked at some of the I just was looking
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: at numbers today. Okay, because Joe had been saying, uh,
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: you know, we've been talking all weak like Virginia Tech. Okay,
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: Virginia Tech lost twenty two. They picked up twenty players,
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: ten from Penn State. Okay, so Joe had that question,
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: how many nitty lyons are going to blow? Okay? So,
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: so of the twenty two that have left the program,
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: nine have new schools. And Christian ellis with a defensive
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: back and he's driving up the interstate. He's gonna play
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: at Virginia. He'll be checking into the UVS. At Carolina,
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: for example, eighteen players are headed to Chapel Bill. Thirty
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: one left, including quarterback ge Lopez who headed to Wake Forest.
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: Now a tight end from Carolina's coming to UVA Connor Cox.
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: Nine of the guys who entered the transfer portal are
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: staying in the ECC. But that's it. So of the
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: thirty one that are leaving right now, there's only twelve
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: of the county that have jobs. Now, I say that
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: to tell you, to tell you this. We talked about
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: it this week. As far as the Cavaliers nineteen they
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: lost twenty one. They got nineteen, and of the twenty
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: one who pack boxes, only seven have found new places
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: to play.
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: All right, the chances.
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: Most tonight it's going to be a big haul today,
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: and so on and so forth. Josh Pate is an
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: ESPN insider. He's a really good college football guy, does
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: his homework. I like listening to him. Talking about the
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: agents is part of the problem now, of course, and
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: the NC TWOA at some point will address it because
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: the uncles and the cousins are. All you have to
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: do is post agent on your Facebook page. You don't
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: have to have a license. Well, I love it, Josh Pate, Yeah,
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: Josh pay with some words.
• 32:34
  Speaker 30: So it's just a bunch of uncles and a bunch
• 32:36
  Speaker 30: of cousins and a bunch of dudes who call themselves agents,
• 32:39
  Speaker 30: who have given advice to every player.
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: Go in the portal.
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: Man.
• 32:43
  Speaker 30: At worst, you'll just be able to go back to
• 32:45
  Speaker 30: where you were, and in some cases that happens. In
• 32:48
  Speaker 30: other cases, once you go in the portal, i'm your head, coach,
• 32:51
  Speaker 30: I'm your GM. I'm looking and saying no, you said
• 32:53
  Speaker 30: goodbye to us.
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: Hey, hey, coach, XYC. I had a chance to go
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: to app State. They've now rescinded the offer. Could I
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: come back for three hundred thousand dollars and block for
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: your quarterback? Is there any chance now? Because we've recruited
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: two offensive tackles, it's not going to happen. So it
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: couldn't be such a scrant in the post. And I
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: hope somebody and I will. I'm going to try to
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: keep my uh you know, eyes on it, ears on
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: it and everything because of the players that are going.
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: So when it started, all of football, all divisions one, two, three, FCS, FBS,
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: there were ten thousand football players who went into the portal.
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: At the Bowl FBS level, there were three thousand, thirty
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: eight actually thirty eight hundred I think was the number. Okay,
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: so now where are all these the schools are stocking
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: up with the best and here and here's the other thing.
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: Schools are not you know when you look at the
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: scoreboard and how the according to on three dot com. Okay,
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: the top five schools Indiana, Texas Tech, Texas A and
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: M Louisville and Virginia Tech heading into the final days.
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: So Virginia Tech makes the top five Thumpson is fifteenth,
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: Uva is twenty six. This really means nothing, but I
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: know fans are gonna have fun with these numbers and
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: probably someday they'll be a Commonwealth Cup.
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: For who won at the portal between Smithfield sponsor.
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah, the Hokies are number five in the country because
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: they got three four stars. They have twenty three stars.
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: Uva got one four star and seventeen threes, Clemson one
• 34:32
  Speaker 8: four star, nine threes. And in the ACC just the
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: league itself, Carolina under Chapel Bill Right is ranked sixteenth
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: out of seventeen schools in the transfer Hall zero four
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: stars and they picked up sixteen threes. It's all about development,
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: you know.
• 34:53
  Speaker 9: You know, Yeah, Bill's Bill wants to teach. But here's
• 34:56
  Speaker 9: the thing. See, and everyone wanted freedom. One wanted freedom.
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: I know, until they got it.
• 35:03
  Speaker 9: And now it's like, oh, somebody needs to do something
• 35:06
  Speaker 9: about this. We need to have I was reading one
• 35:09
  Speaker 9: thing about this mag somebody was positing the idea of
• 35:13
  Speaker 9: some sort of draft board so that you could be
• 35:16
  Speaker 9: guaranteed a spot if you entered the transfer portal.
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: Oh, I think I think college. I think college draft
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: night and the transfer portal night like the NFL Draft night.
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: I think it's coming in January. No, I think I
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: think somebody will sponsor it. And I think that's you know,
• 35:32
  Speaker 8: and you know, selecting at number four hundred and sixty one. Yeah,
• 35:38
  Speaker 8: it takes defensive van from Appalachian State, you know, McNee.
• 35:44
  Speaker 9: You know, if that's the case, can't we just put
• 35:46
  Speaker 9: another Jake Paul beating on TV and call that entertainment police.
• 35:52
  Speaker 8: Well anyway, it's just it just got me kind of
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: scratching my head and looking at at what is happening.
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: So uh with all of that, and and if you.
• 36:01
  Speaker 9: Want to, you know, and and go back to something
• 36:04
  Speaker 9: something that the nctators said. So the transfer portal final
• 36:08
  Speaker 9: day quote unquote is a week before the National Championship game.
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: So anyone, well it's a.
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: Couple of days. Today's the last day, all right, but
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: not a full week.
• 36:19
  Speaker 9: But but so if you're in the National title game,
• 36:23
  Speaker 9: people can be filtering your players could be but you
• 36:27
  Speaker 9: can't go get new ones because you're trying to prepare
• 36:30
  Speaker 9: for the National title.
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, because they are. They have a five day window.
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: Now that's a good question. If Miami loses, how many
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: guys can exit and I'm thinking they have a chance.
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: Then they have a five day window both in and out.
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: I'm going to guess that, and.
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: You're probably right in that it's so ludicrous.
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and uh, you know Chandler Morris, quarterback of Uba,
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: wanted a seventh year.
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: Who doesn't want to be a thirty year old college student.
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: You know, the NCAA A, the n C two A
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: yesterday just told five guys who had played four years
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: out of five. The n C two A said, we
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: have a resured rule. No way. Three of them were
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: from the University of Wisconsin. I'll talk about it next hour.
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: But yeah, federal judge looked at the paperwork and said,
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: not not gonna happen. And then, of course the gambling
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: case happened in basketball.
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, we have talked about that. I figured that
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: would be totally crazy. Fixing game.
• 37:26
  Speaker 8: You know, somebody's picking the second half against Buffalo. You'll
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: you know, shady characters Friday. Monday will hype the big game,
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: of course. And by the way, here your teams are
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: going to bow out this weekend. The Bills the Texans.
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: Are going to lose.
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: That's probably look for those two to lose at least
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: as the countdown continues.
• 37:48

  Speaker 9: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 44:23
  Speaker 9: as we break down the news, and our friend Bob
• 44:26
  Speaker 9: from the Good for America podcast going to join us
• 44:29
  Speaker 9: in a moment, but Down has been hanging on the
• 44:31
  Speaker 9: line from Kalmuth Falls. It's got a couple of things,
• 44:34
  Speaker 9: and one of them is such a center square issue.
• 44:38
  Speaker 9: Don How are you doing this Friday morning. Good to
• 44:40
  Speaker 9: hear from you again.
• 44:42
  Speaker 33: I'm good this morning. How about you, Joe?
• 44:44
  Speaker 9: I'm always good, you know, And this is my happy
• 44:48
  Speaker 9: space these four hours. Everything else, you know, puts more
• 44:51
  Speaker 9: gray hair on my chin. But you know, these these
• 44:54
  Speaker 9: four hours are when the fun happens. So you you
• 44:57
  Speaker 9: mentioned a couple of things you wanted to get into
• 44:59
  Speaker 9: and and one of them, you know, don't even.
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: Start me on mail in balloting.
• 45:03
  Speaker 9: And I've talked to folks in Oregon and they're like, oh, no,
• 45:06
  Speaker 9: it works great, and no it doesn't and the fraud
• 45:10
  Speaker 9: is crazy. But you were talking about road taxes not
• 45:12
  Speaker 9: paying for the roads. Explain what you mean for that,
• 45:15
  Speaker 9: because this happens so often.
• 45:21
  Speaker 33: Well, they've they've put out taxes here and there. Cigarette
• 45:26
  Speaker 33: tax was one of them, a gas tax with another
• 45:29
  Speaker 33: one that didn't. When that didn't go through that, you know,
• 45:35
  Speaker 33: that's taxation without representation. They don't ask us to vote
• 45:39
  Speaker 33: on that, and even if they did, we have that
• 45:42
  Speaker 33: mail in ballot that is already proven to be fraud well.
• 45:47
  Speaker 9: And the other thing is is when they start breaking
• 45:50
  Speaker 9: up these taxes, they don't want to give you an
• 45:52
  Speaker 9: honest accounting of what it costs to, you know, maintain
• 45:56
  Speaker 9: these things. So they so here in Virginia, it's a
• 45:58
  Speaker 9: gasoline tax on each gallon of gasoline. And then after
• 46:04
  Speaker 9: the leftists pushed the idea of buying more electric vehicles,
• 46:08
  Speaker 9: the Department of Transportation said, oh gosh, we don't get
• 46:11
  Speaker 9: we don't have enough money for our budget because all
• 46:14
  Speaker 9: these electric vehicles aren't buying gasoline.
• 46:17
  Speaker 7: And they saw a huge dip in.
• 46:19
  Speaker 9: Their gas tax. So now you have to pay a
• 46:22
  Speaker 9: fee if you own an electric car or even a
• 46:26
  Speaker 9: hybrid car, to make up for the money you would
• 46:29
  Speaker 9: have paid for if you had paid the gas tax
• 46:33
  Speaker 9: that they told you not to pay because they didn't
• 46:35
  Speaker 9: want you using fossil fuels. And you know what their
• 46:38
  Speaker 9: answer to it is done and be careful of this.
• 46:40
  Speaker 9: In Oregon as well, they want to they want to
• 46:42
  Speaker 9: institute a miles driven tax, and you know how they'll
• 46:46
  Speaker 9: figure that one out.
• 46:47
  Speaker 7: They'll put a track.
• 46:48
  Speaker 33: They're already talking about doing that here too.
• 46:52
  Speaker 7: Don't let them. Don't let them.
• 46:54
  Speaker 33: They've already proven that O DOT is stealing the funds
• 46:57
  Speaker 33: and using it to pay for what ho for personal
• 47:01
  Speaker 33: items that they've got going on.
• 47:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, one of the worst departments of transportation.
• 47:06
  Speaker 33: So the roads aren't fixed.
• 47:08
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 47:10
  Speaker 33: They never did fix the daylight savings time. There were
• 47:13
  Speaker 33: all kinds of polls seeing what do you think about
• 47:18
  Speaker 33: this or that or the other, but nothing was ever
• 47:20
  Speaker 33: done about it. Right, and the ICE agents, I welcome
• 47:26
  Speaker 33: them here. This is also a sanctuary town and kudos
• 47:33
  Speaker 33: to them for doing their jobs. If you're not part
• 47:36
  Speaker 33: of the problem, you know, if you're not part of
• 47:39
  Speaker 33: the solution, you are the problem.
• 47:41
  Speaker 9: Well, and that's one of the things and they always
• 47:44
  Speaker 9: so conveniently avoid this. On is actually admitting that there
• 47:48
  Speaker 9: is a law that's being broken that these police officers.
• 47:51
  Speaker 9: I saw a story I think it was Time magazine had.
• 47:54
  Speaker 9: You know, can ice officers be held to account? You know,
• 47:57
  Speaker 9: if a police officer, any kind of law enforcement officer,
• 48:01
  Speaker 9: arrests somebody without merit, without just cause, they can be
• 48:07
  Speaker 9: held accountable. Yet the press is acting like ICE agents
• 48:11
  Speaker 9: are just rounding up people for the giggles of it,
• 48:14
  Speaker 9: and there's no right of hearing or anything like that.
• 48:19
  Speaker 7: That's not the case.
• 48:20
  Speaker 9: These are all people who came in under the Biden
• 48:23
  Speaker 9: mysterious app to manipulate our sanctuary, not our asylum laws.
• 48:32
  Speaker 9: And it's the Bob you know, the host of the
• 48:35
  Speaker 9: Good for America podcast when he was the chair of
• 48:37
  Speaker 9: the Freedom Caucus. He was down on the border and
• 48:40
  Speaker 9: he was watching these flood of people come across. We
• 48:44
  Speaker 9: have a guy on trial here in Charlottesville that raped
• 48:48
  Speaker 9: a sixteen year old girl repeatedly after he got her
• 48:52
  Speaker 9: quote this is from the police testimony. He'd said that
• 48:56
  Speaker 9: she was so drunk she couldn't stand up. And this
• 49:00
  Speaker 9: is a twenty five year old El Salvadoran national, and
• 49:05
  Speaker 9: he's probably going to get decades worth of free food
• 49:08
  Speaker 9: and board from our criminal justice system rather than just
• 49:11
  Speaker 9: being sent back there where maybe you know that's how
• 49:14
  Speaker 9: you pick up girls on a Saturday night.
• 49:16
  Speaker 33: I don't know, But yeah, why are we are we
• 49:20
  Speaker 33: so broken? We can't be fixed?
• 49:22
  Speaker 7: Nope?
• 49:22
  Speaker 9: Never, never, ever, Because the documents that set us on
• 49:27
  Speaker 9: this course are still there. They haven't had the guts
• 49:29
  Speaker 9: to take him out, Dawn. But you have a great weekend.
• 49:32
  Speaker 7: Okay, there's one last.
• 49:35
  Speaker 33: Thing, there was a drunk thing coming up. They were
• 49:41
  Speaker 33: going to use drone surveillance to go after the criminals.
• 49:47
  Speaker 33: My thought is, who is going to be deciding who
• 49:50
  Speaker 33: the criminals are?
• 49:52
  Speaker 7: Well, that's the biggest problem, your governor.
• 49:55
  Speaker 33: Yeah, you know it, just thought anyway.
• 50:02
  Speaker 7: And here's the thing.
• 50:03
  Speaker 9: You see, you know, if you're out on the street,
• 50:06
  Speaker 9: that's one thing, but drones can see over fences and
• 50:09
  Speaker 9: that requires a warrant and they.
• 50:11
  Speaker 7: Can't do that. Just remember that, okay, don.
• 50:15
  Speaker 33: Well, and they're going to take that pilot program is
• 50:18
  Speaker 33: going to start in Portland. And this is where they
• 50:21
  Speaker 33: held a police station captive for over a month and
• 50:25
  Speaker 33: no consequences.
• 50:27
  Speaker 7: Nope, No, absolutely not.
• 50:29
  Speaker 9: But you know, this is the issue with elections and
• 50:33
  Speaker 9: there has to be a pushback. There has to be
• 50:35
  Speaker 9: a conservative pushback. And I've looked at some of Oregon's
• 50:39
  Speaker 9: voting records. It's not up like you guys are getting
• 50:41
  Speaker 9: ninety percent voter turned out and sixty percent of them
• 50:44
  Speaker 9: are leftists. The Republican Party has to get some oomph
• 50:50
  Speaker 9: back to it and the conservative movement because it can
• 50:53
  Speaker 9: be won back. Florida was a reliably blue state until
• 50:57
  Speaker 9: two thousand so hang in there. Everything can be brought back.
• 51:01
  Speaker 7: Don.
• 51:01
  Speaker 11: Okay, thank you, Joe.
• 51:03
  Speaker 33: You have a great day.
• 51:04
  Speaker 9: You do the same, have a great weekend. He is
• 51:06
  Speaker 9: the host of the Good for America podcast, and he
• 51:09
  Speaker 9: is the great Bob Good and he is done with
• 51:13
  Speaker 9: us this morning.
• 51:14
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Bob. How are you doing, sir, morning, Joe?
• 51:17
  Speaker 7: Doing well? I hope you are as Oh? Absolutely, you know.
• 51:20
  Speaker 9: And one of these things, you know, the Ice Don
• 51:23
  Speaker 9: brought up the ICE agents and you know, you see
• 51:27
  Speaker 9: the video, and I noticed how the press doesn't want
• 51:30
  Speaker 9: to show the video of this ICE agent being beaten
• 51:32
