  Speaker 3: first things out, there. Good morning, Kareem. How are you
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: doing this morning, Ben Morton, Joel, I'm doing well.
• 1:25
  Speaker 8: I'm actually about to go over Afton Mountain and it's
• 1:27
  Speaker 8: a beautiful phone moon outside the windshield.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: That's why the phone system was weird. It's it's impacted
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: by the full moon.
• 1:38
  Speaker 9: Well, I'm glad it's the telephone system. About the other
• 1:40
  Speaker 9: drivers around me so far?
• 1:43
  Speaker 8: I want to call it because one of the national
• 1:45
  Speaker 8: news stories was about a lawsuit coolin in Shartsville about
• 1:50
  Speaker 8: a player who liked to seek a seventh year of
• 1:52
  Speaker 8: NCAA eligibility.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was well. I don't know if the national
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: news covered it, but that was in our local news. Yeah,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: it's a handler Morris who led UVA into the college
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: nearly into the college playoffs last year.
• 2:07
  Speaker 9: Tell you what that is?
• 2:08
  Speaker 8: No small feet byself, but I'm actually on his side.
• 2:12
  Speaker 8: I myself was a college athlete, but it turns out
• 2:16
  Speaker 8: I was only able to be an athlete in my
• 2:17
  Speaker 8: last semester of eligibility. Really, it took me ten Really,
• 2:22
  Speaker 8: it took me ten years to get my four year
• 2:24
  Speaker 8: degree because I had to work through school for the
• 2:27
  Speaker 8: last For the last four years I was driving round
• 2:31
  Speaker 8: trip one hundred miles every day to attend classes and work.
• 2:36
  Speaker 8: And that last ten year of eligibility went from when
• 2:39
  Speaker 8: I graduated high school and I had those ten years
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: of college. I think at that time it could have
• 2:44
  Speaker 8: been five years and ten semesters. That was the max
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: that a student could be an athlete. That was the
• 2:51
  Speaker 8: short window I was able to do track and field
• 2:54
  Speaker 8: in southern Arkansas. I do think that since there's so
• 2:59
  Speaker 8: few who make it to be professional athletes and so
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: many capable athletic students, young men will call them whatever
• 3:07
  Speaker 8: you want if they if that's a skill that gets
• 3:10
  Speaker 8: them into college, let them have that, not just oh
• 3:14
  Speaker 8: it's only for eighteen to twenty two year olds or.
• 3:16
  Speaker 9: Eighteen to twenty four.
• 3:18
  Speaker 8: I went to high school with the guy who during
• 3:21
  Speaker 8: football practice he was our extra point kicker.
• 3:24
  Speaker 9: He was also our starting defensive lineman.
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: At the end of kicking practice, he would turn the
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: tea around and kick it through the uprights. On the
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: other end of the field, he would put it through
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: the uprights on kickoff. He died doing construction. He died
• 3:40
  Speaker 8: a peacetroke at construction. Twenty years old. Couldn't get a
• 3:42
  Speaker 8: scholarship anywhere. So I do think we need more opportunities
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: for this and.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and I agree with you, and I'm going
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: to I will expound on this on the other side.

• 15:07
  Speaker 20: holding up pretty good. Silver's up one percent to eighty

  Speaker 9: James sounds great, Thanks, Joe four three four.

  Speaker 3: Nine seven nine. Coin is the number four jcsgold dot
• 17:07

• 17:14
  Speaker 3: So before the marching band takes the field, let's let's
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: re establish one of the things. And this is not
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: something anyone I've never heard Kurt herb Street or Lee
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Corso or even the late great Lou Holds say. But
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: because I come from the place where Thomas Jefferson, you know,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: based in John Locke said, you know, long established norms
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: are not easily nor should they be easily thrown over.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: As we look at esteemed folks with great resumes like
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: UVa's Tony Bennett or Alabama's nictator Nick Saban, getting out
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: of the collegiate athletic business because of the eruption that name,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: image likeness has been. And understand this is very much
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: a leftist style of things. So very smart lawyers found
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: very smart little holes in the laws governing collegiate athletics
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: and found a way to get their players paid because
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: what they saw were arenas full of screaming fans paying
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: you know, pretty good change to have that seat in
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: the football arena or the basketball arena or even the
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: baseball arena. And some of the SEC baseball's bigger than
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: like half the major league teams, probably could beat half
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: the major league teams. I'd put I would put Mississippi
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: State up against a lot of the and I'm not
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: saying that just for our friends in Pascagoula. Brian O'Connor
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: is a great coach, and I think they're ranked second
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: in the nation.
• 18:52
  Speaker 10: Now.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: I watched them, you know, you know, just beat up
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: on my Virginia Tech Hokies and a tournament last week,
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: and I'm thinking, you know, there's some teams out there,
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: some of these you know, rebuilding teams, like the Washington Nationals.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: I put Mississippi State up against them and give them
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: pretty good odds. But these collegiate athletes seeing these full
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: arenas were like, hey, and it starts with a perversion
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: of what their college diploma meant anyway. So I think
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: seventies the jokes started to be like, oh yeah, I'm
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: taking I'm taking remedial medieval basket weaving as my major.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: There was a period of time when you know, the
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: starting lineups for college football teams would announce what their
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: majors were. That stopped quickly. Rhetoric communications was a major
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: a lot of schools rhetoric communications. That's how they all
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: wound up being play by play analysts after their playing
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: careers were over. But the debasement of what college degree
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: actually means anyway has led to this name image likeness
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: stuff where players are playing for pay and it's just
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: this loop de loop around a stupid premise. In the
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: first place, there are college athletic programs that are simply
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: for the performance of the college athletics, but a lot
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: of them are either a feeders for Olympic activities like swimming,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: or are semi professional adjunct football, basketball, baseball, hockey, even
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Duluth in places like that. So let's stop being foolish
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: about what the college athlete does. The college athlete if
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: they win the national championship, there's a I think it's
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: twenty two percent boost in enrollment applications that those universities
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: that make the college football Playoffs or the NCAA field
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: of sixty four. It's big for the alumni who give money.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: But the same is true for professors. So let's stop
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: kidding ourselves. These athletes are like high ranking, well esteemed
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: professors with tenures and best selling textbooks, et cetera. So
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: let's stop having these athletes be student athletes and just
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: make them athletes for the university. Treat them like the professors,
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: hire them like professors there, and then they can stay
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: there as long as they want, and stop this foolish
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: patty cake game over amateur athletes and everything else. These
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: athletes are drawing attention to the university, just the way
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: a highly esteemed economics professor will or a biomechanics professor will.

• 22:09
  Speaker 21: and fifty minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a week's time.
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: But here's the thing that one hundred and fifty minutes
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: does not need to be super intense.
• 22:16

  Speaker 3: Yeah that's how we roll, say the quiet part out loud,
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: don't we? On First Thing Today? By Joe Thomas and
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: the Greenbacks.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: And there's not wrong with it.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, Joe, don't think I'm slagging that, you know,
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: the idea that college athletics is perverted or anything like that.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: But they've they've created this faux scenario of protectionism. And
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: that's why it's a leftist ideal, this idea of protecting
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: the sanctity and the student athlete. It's the same thing
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: that our friends in Western Albemarle here just outside of
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Charlottesville are trying to do with the Turning Point USA group.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: We're going to protect the students. We're not going to
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: let them fundraise. Well, we'll take any money they bring
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: in and we'll give it to them as we see appropriate.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: And I told this story. If you missed the early seating,
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: I get you play the schools and watch for this virus.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: This virus is going to spread like SARS Cove two.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: It's got gain of function in the Wuhan Institute of
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Political Insanity. Instead of banning organizations like Turning Point USA,
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: the school is going to take all their money because.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Their children.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: And in the effort to protect the children, the school
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: is going to take any money the group raises and
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: only give them only this burst of the monies that
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: the school deems appropriately expended. They also are no longer
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: going to be permitted to have speakers that don't have
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: anything to do with curriculum. That of course, you know,
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: the socialist Studies program will start a class called, you know,
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: how to be an anti racist, so they can bring
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: ibramex candy in. But they can. But the whole idea
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: of collegiate athletics is under that same monitor.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: We're protecting the children.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: And they're not. These these college athletes should be employees
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: of the college, just like a professor. Stop thinking of
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: the Some of them might be students, fine, all well
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: and good, but many of them could be thirty forty
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: years old. If it's helping the school get attention for
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: itself and therefore more people try to go to the university,
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: that's the purpose of college athletics on the marketing scale,
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: it's to get attention to your school. Do you think
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: that some kid in Queens, New York is thinking, hmm,
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: I wonder what Tuscaloosa is like this time of year. No,
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: But if they're a football player and they think Alabama,
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: well there you go, and the same is true with
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: kids who are looking to study engineering or biochemistry. They
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: wind up in schools. Two of my niece and one
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: of my nephews. One goes to West Virginia and the
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: other one to South Carolina. And I know for a
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: fact it's because you know, every now and then you
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: see South Carolina TV and it's like, hey, I'm looking
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: around for engineering programs. Oh, South Carolina has a good one,
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: and I've heard of South Carolina a lot of you know,
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: cool stuff to do on campus, like big time football
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: and basketball and baseball.
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: Rock on.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: So hamp Hamp on the Treasure Coast wrote is, come on, Joe,
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: let's be real. The athletes are drawing more attention to
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: a university than any professor. That's my point. Let's stop
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: the foolishness of treating them differently and say these are
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: employees of the university. Their job is to entertain the
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: student body on Saturday afternoons and draw attention to the
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: university otherwise. So job, and then you don't have to
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: deal with this foolishness of who's got eligible or not.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: It play till they're done with you. That's why the
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: NFL works. And you know what the NFL would hate
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: that because these college programs are going to draw much
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: more attention than the NFL programs are, and the NFL
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: is going to have to deal with the SEC or
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: the Big twelve. And then you'll see the legal battles.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: It's mine, it's my, and then you'll then you'll have
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: congress people coming in and saying we need to protect
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: the sanctity of that, and the Marxists will march again.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: But this name, image, likeness, patty cake game, it's all
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: going to end at the feet of your congressman calling
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: for a bailout of your university because they can't afford
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: to pay the athletes what their market rate is. So
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: let's stop being silly about it and start looking at it,
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: you know, from a reality standpoint. That's all we ever
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: do here. Good morning. You're on the air with Joe.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: First thing this morning at four to three more eight
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: eight two four two one seven.
• 34:02
  Speaker 27: Who's good morning, ju It's Joel.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Hey Joel, how are you sir?
• 34:07
  Speaker 28: Oh?
• 34:07
  Speaker 25: I'm okay.
• 34:08
  Speaker 27: I just got some things going on, But I wanted
• 34:10
  Speaker 27: to say this. My father taught Xavier when he was alive,
• 34:13
  Speaker 27: and you know, forty four years and pre med predonal
• 34:16
  Speaker 27: histology compared to anatomy. And there were two things that
• 34:21
  Speaker 27: he dealt with and he and he wasn't a complainer,
• 34:24
  Speaker 27: but he told he told me some things when we'd
• 34:26
  Speaker 27: be driving in the car and stuff like that, or
• 34:29
  Speaker 27: probably even my sister or brother. But it wasn't anything secret.
• 34:32
  Speaker 27: It was this thing's feelings that he was expressing. And
• 34:34
  Speaker 27: he goes, he is, you know I have and we'd
• 34:37
  Speaker 27: watch him great papers and stuff and he and and
• 34:40
  Speaker 27: he goes, you know, I have student athletes in here
• 34:43
  Speaker 27: that are gonna be going be doctors and do this
• 34:46
  Speaker 27: and do that. And then he said that there's two
• 34:49
  Speaker 27: things they battle with he as I battle with this too.
• 34:52
  Speaker 27: Number one for himself, he said. And he wasn't saying
• 34:56
  Speaker 27: this having regrets to be regretful in that sense, just
• 35:00
  Speaker 27: lately regretful. But he said, you know, these coaches are
• 35:02
  Speaker 27: making more than any of us professors here on the campus.
• 35:06
  Speaker 9: And he goes, I just don't feel that's right.
• 35:08
  Speaker 27: Yet We're we're we're educating students that are going to
• 35:12
  Speaker 27: be making probably a good salary too, and and and
• 35:16
  Speaker 27: you know we're not getting any anything, you know, back
• 35:19
  Speaker 27: from the programs for for basketball, and at time I
• 35:24
  Speaker 27: think there was football exavier, but that I think did
• 35:26
  Speaker 27: away in like seventy three. But he also said that
• 35:30
  Speaker 27: these student athletes had to maintain a certain grade point
• 35:34
  Speaker 27: average at the same time they had to be producing,
• 35:37
  Speaker 27: you know, scoring and being athletes for the university. And
• 35:42
  Speaker 27: he said if the ones that make it through, that
• 35:45
  Speaker 27: make it through the program, because he just didn't give
• 35:48
  Speaker 27: people grade or or you know, give them the answer.
• 35:51
  Speaker 27: He wanted people to be good doctors or dentists. And
• 35:55
  Speaker 27: but he said that's that's the if they can pass
• 35:58
  Speaker 27: their course and get through the program, that they're they're
• 36:04
  Speaker 27: even you know, better than some of the people that
• 36:07
  Speaker 27: have other degrees, because they're battling, you know, they're they're
• 36:11
  Speaker 27: fighting all the time.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: They've gone through a crucible of trying to do two
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: slave to two masters. If you will, not to borrow
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Ibram x Kendy's rhetoric, there a couple of quick thoughts
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: on that though, is that I think the coaches salaries
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: and the coaches contracts are part of the reason we
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: wind up in this silly name image likeness game that
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: is just you know, a band aid on a sucking chest.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Wound because you're not you're fairly looking at the only
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: reason I know where Xavier is or how to pronounce it,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: is because of the NCAA tournament. And you know, I'm
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: sure it is a boon. And by the way, I
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: always wanted to study comparative anatomy when I was in
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: college too, but I don't think it was a a
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: credit course where I went to school. What all right,
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: Apparently I was too cute by half, you know, I meant,
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: you know, never mind. I don't know it was distracting, Joel.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: But but this idea, it's it's about promoting the school.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: These big time college athletics is about promoting the school.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: It's about somebody saying, hey, that looks like a nice
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: place to go to study engineering, to study comparative anatomy,
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: you know, to study you know, rhetoric communications, whatever it
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: may be, because I've seen them on TV. And so
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: we should allow them to do that and stop the
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: silliness of pretending these athletes are separate from the student
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: body or a special member of the student body. Let
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: them be what they are and and have club teams
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: for the student athletes to play football, lacrosse or or
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: anything like that. That's all I'm saying is let's stop kidding.

  Speaker 3: the calendar? I don't know, but I wanted to thank
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: and and again go over. Bob wants to talk about
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: the tariff's lawsuit. And I was just looking at where
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: we are because so many of these cities and these
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: states that have this law suit. I mean, we're on California, Oregon. Oh,
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: we love you know Oregon. You guys must be so
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: proud of your attorney general and of our friends in Sacramento.
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: You're you're in on it to you're the leaders of
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: the pack. But our friends down Greenwich and Colorado Springs
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: and Fort Collins, UH and Cortees. You know, your your
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: attorney general is in on this too. And Illinois, all
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: our friends in Joliet and UH, Minnesota there's no surprise.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: And and then of course Virginia, so proud we are
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: of two taps. Our attorney general there, Wisconsin, of course,
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: the governors of Kentucky and Pennsylvania. Bob, you had a
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: fix for this lawsuit where the states are saying we
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: lost all this money because of Trump's tariffs. We want,
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: you know, we want, and they're they're setting the scene
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: for what will eventually be race based reparations, but they
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: want reparations for the monies they supposedly lost in tax
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: collections because of the tariffs. Bob, you have a fix
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: for it.
• 46:45
  Speaker 32: Yes, I would, as Donald J. Trump, this is what
• 46:49
  Speaker 32: I would say American citizens, as a president of the
• 46:53
  Speaker 32: United States, I had imposed tariffs to create extra cash
• 46:58
  Speaker 32: flow for the peace of the United States our military.
• 47:02
  Speaker 32: But as usual, the Democratic Party and the Democratic justices
• 47:08
  Speaker 32: have overruled the needs of our country's people. So, since
• 47:13
  Speaker 32: all the money said has already been allocated to the soldiers,
• 47:17
  Speaker 32: heard the Democratic governor's lawsuit and the court's ruling that
• 47:22
  Speaker 32: the money must be refunded, we will have to dock
• 47:26
  Speaker 32: your salaries for the next month and withdraw the money
• 47:30
  Speaker 32: that was transferred to you because of the Democratic Party
• 47:34
  Speaker 32: and the governors that sued because I was trying to
• 47:38
  Speaker 32: help our government workers and have much more our militaries
• 47:44
  Speaker 32: and our veterans. But once again, the Democratic Party just
• 47:47
  Speaker 32: showed you how much they hate our military and our
• 47:51
  Speaker 32: American citizens. God Bless America.
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and that's not something that I would be
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: surprised to see Donald Trump doing POB which is call
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: them out for what they've done they are regarding tariffs.
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: There is there is part of me, and I hate
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: to be pedantic about it, but that to me is
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: not what tariffs are. For tariffs, you know, and I
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: know they do. I'm not saying that I'm a Pollyanna,
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: and I don't think that tariffs generate tax collections. But
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: you sort of play into the leftist's hands when you
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: say that the tariff was just a tax, because it's
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: just like every other business tax. What I'd like to
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: see Donald Trump do is go after all the business
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: taxes that the Democrats love that get passed on to
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: the consumers. Every time Chuck Schumer says these taxes are
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: test taxes that make things less affordable for the people
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: of America. I want the President to walk up behind them,
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: give them a jeth Row Gibbs in the back of
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: the head and say, just like all the corporate income
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: tax that you apply to every business in America, making
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: us less likely to be able to compete in the
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: marketplace anyway, I must run Bob, good stuff, my friend.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: Thank you for it. Yep, let's see we got folks
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: ringing in here at four three four eighty two, four
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: to two one seven and get you to get you
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: there and get your thoughts in here. On a busy morning.
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: The bombing continues in the in the Tehran area, but
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: also Israel has been going after Hesbola in the in
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: Lebanon as well, so they're going to continue to work
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: on that. Good morning. You're on the air with Joe.
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: First thing this morning. Who's this.
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: Eight?
• 49:47
  Speaker 15: This is Sam Dorman from the Epoch Times.
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: Sam, how are you, Sarah? I was trying to get
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: through to you a little earlier. I'm sorry we got
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: a late start on that. But Sam has been covering
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: the Supreme Court and a bunch of rulings this week
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: on on you know, restrictions and that, so catch us
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: up on what's going on.
• 50:09
  Speaker 15: Yeah, well, we have a lot of different Supreme court
• 50:11
  Speaker 15: decisions still coming down the pike, right, I mean, they
• 50:13
  Speaker 15: heard the firing the Federal Reserve governor, for example, in January,
• 50:19
  Speaker 15: so it's been we just had the tariff's decision come down,
• 50:22
  Speaker 15: and there's going to be a decision about birthright citizenship
• 50:26
  Speaker 15: with her if you wish. They're hearing in April.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: But yeah, let me let me pick on that the
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: tariff one, because that was kind of what we were
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: just talking about with the caller that was on when
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: you were trying to get through.
• 50:38
  Speaker 14: Is that.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: Now, as soon as the Supreme Court ruled this way,
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: you've got all these governors claiming that there needs to
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: be reparations. Is there anything in the Supreme Court ruling
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: that would give them standing to ask for reparations from
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: the president's administration.
• 50:58
  Speaker 15: Yeah, it's hard to say. I mean, President Trump was
• 51:00
  Speaker 15: complaining or criticizing the court because they didn't say much
• 51:04
  Speaker 15: about how the reimbursement process would work. And it looks
• 51:07
  Speaker 15: like it's going back to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals,
• 51:09
  Speaker 15: So they're going to end up having to handle that.
• 51:12
  Speaker 15: I mean, at a basic level, though, you know, this
• 51:14
  Speaker 15: fru Court is saying that this was an illegal these
• 51:18
  Speaker 15: were these terrorists were illegal and basically a way that
• 51:21
  Speaker 15: Trump impeded on executive or sorry, legislative authority. And so
• 51:25
  Speaker 15: in that sense, I think that there is sort of
• 51:27
  Speaker 15: a legal basis to say that there's a wrong.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, and talk about the ruling on that
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: because President Tump Trump's argument was it was under emergency orders,
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: you know, established in nineteen seventy five. How did the
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: justices see that that was not a legitimate stand?
• 51:50
  Speaker 15: Well, it's so, it's basically because then there were a
• 51:55
  Speaker 15: couple of different sort of avenues. I guess that the
• 51:58
  Speaker 15: justice took the liberal justice is taking more of a
• 52:02
  Speaker 15: traditional approach of saying, you know, the statute just doesn't
• 52:05
  Speaker 15: work here. But then you had people like Roberts and
• 52:07
  Speaker 15: Barrett and kavanall saying that this thing called the major
• 52:11
  Speaker 15: questions doctrine, which is this judicial doctrine that the Supreme
• 52:15
  Speaker 15: Court used to strike down the student loans under Biden,
• 52:18
  Speaker 15: or sorry, the student loan forgiveness under Biden.
• 52:21
  Speaker 32: It just basically it says that, you.
• 52:23
  Speaker 15: Know, if there's a major question or a major issue
• 52:26
  Speaker 15: of political or economic significance, then Congress has to be
• 52:30
  Speaker 15: very clear in saying what and sort of authorizing the
• 52:34
  Speaker 15: action that the president is trying to take. And so
• 52:36
  Speaker 15: in this case, the Chief Justice John Roberts was saying
• 52:40
  Speaker 15: that Congress, in this law that was passed some some
• 52:43
  Speaker 15: emergency power. As law did not specifically say tariffs were
• 52:47
  Speaker 15: an option that the president could take during.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: Times of My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: lost my leg to a roadside bomb. My victory was
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: going from a wheelchair to becoming a weightlifting champion. I'm Sam.
