  Speaker 2: Stuart said, steal men have a day at least for work.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: When the sun comes up, drops a pet.

  Speaker 6: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to
• 0:35
  Speaker 6: you this morning. I want to be Joe, get to
• 0:39
  Speaker 6: us as we tell you what went on in the world,
• 0:43
  Speaker 6: and then we'll give you our analysis, of course of
• 0:47
  Speaker 6: the evidence left behind in the debris field. But most importantly,
• 0:51
  Speaker 6: I want to hear how it's impacting you where you are.
• 0:55
  Speaker 6: I believe it is pronounced surock. It sounds like a
• 0:59
  Speaker 6: name you would give a vulcan in star Trek, but
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: the surock is the Russian word for groundhog, and Bob
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: in Moscow has a report on I didn't realize this
• 1:10
  Speaker 6: was an international event. Bob. How are you doing for
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: you this afternoon?
• 1:17
  Speaker 7: I'm doing good.
• 1:19
  Speaker 8: Little cold.
• 1:20
  Speaker 9: It's probably about minus well it's minus twenty two centigrade,
• 1:25
  Speaker 9: so probably about minus seventeen fahrenheit. It's cold.
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: That's that's why you get blackbread and vodka, don't you so?
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: So am I pronouncing it correctly? Surock?
• 1:41
  Speaker 9: I guess so I'm not. I'm not competent totally in
• 1:45
  Speaker 9: the Russian language.
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: Okay, all right, but I'm told by Google that that's
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: that's what the Russian word for groundhog is. Did they
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: see their shadowed in Moscow? Debsolutely?
• 1:59
  Speaker 9: We had bright sunshine the past few days. That's why
• 2:02
  Speaker 9: it's been extremely cold.
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: Is that the way it works? It's a cold sun.
• 2:10
  Speaker 9: I'm from northern Wisconsin. Yeah, we you know, when it's
• 2:14
  Speaker 9: a clear night, it's gonna be very cold in the
• 2:17
  Speaker 9: morning because of the watch.
• 2:19
  Speaker 10: You call it.
• 2:23
  Speaker 9: Warm airs, keeping up escapes two degrees fahrenheits.
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: So, so they do a groundhog tradition. That fascinates me
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: that this was not just an American thing.
• 2:36
  Speaker 9: Really do it? They don't really do it, but there's
• 2:38
  Speaker 9: enough people that the X Pass and may you know
• 2:42
  Speaker 9: in Europe to kind of all follow it practically. Originally
• 2:47
  Speaker 9: it was a Christian Christianity.
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: Thing, really okay, yes, I did not know it.
• 2:53
  Speaker 11: Happened, yeah, way way way back, something with Christianity with
• 2:59
  Speaker 11: them bring their candles to the church to be blessed,
• 3:02
  Speaker 11: and if the candle was really flaming, it meant one thing,
• 3:05
  Speaker 11: and if it wasn't, it meant something else.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 3:09
  Speaker 9: That's how grounds groundhogs stay evolved.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: Interesting, Okay, so you know, and I'm sure there was
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: a pagan ritual where they went hunting for groundhog, uh,
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: and that that had to be co opted into it.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: So what's on your mind before I have to run here?
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: Besides the groundhog?
• 3:24
  Speaker 9: What it was if you guys were going to have
• 3:28
  Speaker 9: a longer.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: Winter or the sun is just rising on the eastern seaboard.
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: So I don't know if Punk Satawni has come out yet.
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: It's usually shortly after seven o'clock, I think, And I
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: used to work in state college, so I should should
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: remember this off the top of my head. But I
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: believe that it is somewhere around seven twenty two or
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: seven twenty five that Punk Satni actually gets dragged out
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: and you know, hung out to dry in front of everyone.
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: So anyway, you have a great one.
• 4:03
  Speaker 9: Where's Tita? I'm surprised Pita doesn't show up there complaining
• 4:06
  Speaker 9: that they're abusing the animal.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: Oh they do, Oh, oh, yes, they do. They are
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: there all the time and this is this is just
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: more exploitation of our four legged citizens. There. All you
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: really need for this is to have the guy the
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: mayor who with the top hat and everything done an
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: ICE vest and then you can really complete the leftist scene.
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: Thank you sir. You have a great morning.
• 4:33
  Speaker 9: Hey, have a great dare.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: Our first things. This morning, ICE was protecting an ICE
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: facility in Portland, Oregon, when a group of protesters gathered
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: outside Saturday, bringing their children in strollers with them, started
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: aggressively approaching the officers, who wanted to DICE disperse the crowds,
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: so they use tear gas and the The crowd immediately
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: went to the press saying that ICE officers teargased children
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: and strollers. The mayor of Portland is now demanding that
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement leave Portland in Toto.
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: The Department of Homeland Security meanwhile, is lashed out about
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: the doxing of their agents, giving out their home addresses.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: In a statement, they said DHS will never confirm or
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: deny attempts to dox our law enforcement officers. Spokesman went
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: on to say doxing our officers puts their lives and
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: their families in serious danger. Department of Homeland Department of
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: Transportation has released their plan. They've furloughed ten thousand FAA
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: employees as the government shutdown enters the first weekday, thirteen thousand,
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: just short of fourteen thousand air traffic controllers will be
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: required to keep working without taking a paycheck that will
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: be caught up with later on. The Republican National Committee
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: had a good year fundraising, so did the Democrats a
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: little bit less, but the Democrats spent a lot of
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: that money. According to Federal Election Commission filings, the RNC
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: collected one hundred and seventy two million dollars in twenty
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: twenty five and the Democrats collected one hundred and forty
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: five million dollars. The RNC still had ninety five million
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: of it on hand, the Democratic Committee only had fourteen
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: million remaining in their coffers. US futures and world shares
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: skidded this morning as worries over the new Federal Reserve
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: chair and their view of budget fiscal sanity brought jitters
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: to the international markets. And those are our first things.

  Speaker 12: between something high quality or.

• 7:22
  Speaker 12: from research of members. There's a lot they like about medshare,
• 7:26
  Speaker 12: but especially they love being part of something they believe in,
• 7:29

• 13:14
  Speaker 1: For you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
• 13:18
  Speaker 10: To five percent a bit too small?
• 13:25
  Speaker 23: Be thankful.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I don't take it.
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: Oh they're thinking about it. Oh, yes they.
• 13:31
  Speaker 23: Are because I'm the tax man.
• 13:35
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm the tax man.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: So across the country. You know, driven.
• 13:42
  Speaker 23: Con tax the street.
• 13:45
  Speaker 13: If you try to sit, tax your seat.
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: Truth get to cold, tax the heat.
• 13:52
  Speaker 22: If you take a tax, you.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: All of it coming to fruition in the United States,
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: including things like taxing the heat. Virginia has a series
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: of sales taxes that would cover so many things. Even
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: know your rent could wind up under the banner of
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: taxable expenditures if you purchase something. And controversial because a
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: couple of emails were received in the program so far
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: about sales taxes, because this was the premise of the
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: fare tax movement of what ten years fifteen years ago,
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: was that instead of an income tax, we would have
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: a consumption tax. We would tax the people and then
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: you know, the argument was that that would even cover
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: illegal activities. So if you had a drug dealer, obviously
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: they're not declaring their income as on their ten forty easy.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: If they buy a car, you'll get the tax revenue.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: If they buy cigarettes, you'll get the tax revenue. If
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: you buy a cheeseburger, you'll get the tax revenue from it.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: That was always the argument, and the point I was
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: always making is number one, you don't see it. And
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: that's also a problem with withholding taxes, and that's a
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: similar matter, is the less we see the taxes coming
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: out of our hands. The more like we are to
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: not even notice. We just think things are more expensive.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: And it's under that affordability banner that a lot of
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: people are angry about the governor of Virginia. See in California,
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: when Gavin Newsom announces that he's got a billionaire tax,
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: you're like, Okay, he's Gavin Newsom. That's kind of what
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: we expect Gavin Newsom to do. The governor of Virginia
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: campaigned on this moderation. Never once was really pressed, well,
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: what are your plans for taxes and things like that.
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: She just kept saying, Oh, we're going to try to
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: make Virginia more affordable. It is the mantra you're going
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: to hear a lot going into the midterms. And I
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: hope that these congressional candidates, whether it be Florida or
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: Tennessee or wherever they may be, when they try to
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: sell you this idea that there's affordability at stake, you
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: realize that they're talking about both supply side and user
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: side subsidies which are going to be driven by higher taxes,
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: which are going to drive down the affordability. But it's
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: a money laundering scheme. And there'll be bureaucrats skimming off
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: the top, and there'll be NGOs that will have to
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: be paid to administer the applications for the aid that
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: will be necessary to see how the economy of government
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: aid works. Charles writes into JT in the Morning Radio
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: at gmail dot com. Have you quoted Margaret Thatcher yet
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: about socialism? It's the famous The problem with socialism is
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: that you eventually run out of other people's money. And
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: I think it's one of the things people forget about
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: Marxism and socialism in general, is that it's still about money.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: You have all these folks who are convinced, almost cult
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: like that it will become this agrarian utopia without any
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: money in it, because money corrupts. No, we're corrupt. We're
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: corrupt at the onset. I mean, you look at some
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: of the stuff that's in the releases of the Epstein
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: files and you're like, oh my gosh, Epstein corrupted all
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: these bod Now Epstein gave an opportunity to indulge they're
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: already existing corruptions, so that you have to remember, and
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: you know what a million pages or whatever it was
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: that they released on Friday still don't see whose decisions
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: were being corrupted. I mean Prince Andrew of England, Okay,
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: not really somebody who makes a lot of important decisions.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: Who was Bill Clinton? Where is the press curiosity outside
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: of the fact that Bill Clinton is in all these pictures?
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: To ask, Hey, Bill, what decisions did you make that
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: were specifically changed because you were concerned Jeffrey Epstein might
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: release these pictures. That's the key question. But as a distraction,
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: it certainly has eaten up a lot of people's time
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: from the real issues, just the way the Democrats who
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: run under the banner of affordability will keep you looking
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: over here and not asking, so, where's this affordability coming from?
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: How are you doing it? Are you going to raise
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: taxes to give people stuff? And then if you're raising
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: taxes on things like renting storage spaces, how is that
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: making life more affordable for a poor person that probably
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: has to rent that storage space because they only have
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: enough money for a one bedroom apartment and no storage.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: These are the cons that they go on there. Charles
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: goes on to write in his email to us the
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: famous line by former British Margaret Thatcher reminds us that
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: while government handouts may sound good, someone still has to
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: foot the bill. That became the issue with the gold
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: standard in the United States, Charles is the Great Society
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: of Lyndon Johnson's had put the US Treasury on the
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: verge of bankruptcy by nineteen seventy two, hadn't even been
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: around for eight years, and so Nixon had to unleash
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: the Federal Reserve and expand on their ability to put
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: out currencies based on the full faith and credit of
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: the US government, saying, as long as we're here, these
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: debts will be covered by someone somewhere down the line,
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: your grandkids most likely. But what you're seeing happening in
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: these states, I was just reading a piece in the
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: Colorado Springs Gazette. I get emails from them. Colorado is
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: having a massive out migration. People are leaving Colorado, I presume,
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: looking for places with lower taxes. I was told it
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: was seventy degrees in Denver. Today, I think most people
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: on the Eastern Seaboard would trade their right arm for
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: seventy degrees. So it isn't the weather, it's the tax structure.
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: It's the social decay that they're seeing. It's the inability
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: of law enforcement to do things like simply, oh, I
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: don't know, arrest a drug gang before it has completely
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: taken over somebody's apartment complex. But there are only so
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: many states people can flee to. I mean, is it Tennessee,
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: is it Florida? Is it Texas? There's only so much
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: room in those places before they start putting up their
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: own immigration standards, and then maybe we'll all have to
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: be like the folks from El Salvador and Guatemala declared
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: I don't know refugees.

  Speaker 7: four thousand and six seventeen Wow. Watched the Lightning come

  Speaker 7: the question.
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: The overturned game winner.
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: He thought that he had the game winner in overtime
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: before they went to the shootout. I got called back
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: on a slash.
• 29:41
  Speaker 10: Pray on Pree.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: The overtime post the night off with.

• 29:57
  Speaker 8: Dad, I'm not really sure why what?
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: What's so dead?
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: At that point, I have no clue what happened. Honestly,
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: we got two on one referee as the arm up.
• 30:07
  Speaker 21: It's letting in ghost ways going to the bench to
• 30:09
  Speaker 21: finish the play, score Golan and all of a sudden.
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, all of a sudden we mumble out of it,
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: and of course it you know, I guess going back
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: so but it it was uh to see that, you know,
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: the Grammys are going on. I get it's just another
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: Grammys are another world for me now. I mean if
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: it wasn't for you know, just a couple of people
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: that were there, like Bruno Mars. Okay, I'm gonna identify
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: with Bruno Mars and you know, uh, Jelly Roll has
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: lost one thousand pounds and Teddy Swim's voice still moves me.
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: But boy, after that, it starts to get pretty thin.
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: As far as my my grammy knowledge, I think that just.
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: Might be showing my age. But anyway, all right, back
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: to sports.
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: So with that going on last night, over the weekend,
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: Tennessee's turnover problem has gotten so bad that Rick Barnes,
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: the head coach, he he was in his post game
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: and he was questioning his players competitive integrity. So the
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: Volunteers beat off in seventy seven sixty nine on Saturday, okay,
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: and then Rick Barnes did the unspeakable.
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: The Volunteers are four and two in the past six games,
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: but have lost the turnover battle in six games since
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: I lost to Florida in January. Since January tenth, they
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: have turned it over eighty six times in that stretch.
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: Not good for a college team.
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: So Rick Barnes in his postgame, Rick, are you kidding me?
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: He came up with s.
• 31:32
  Speaker 27: In the game, some of the passes that we throw,
• 31:34
  Speaker 27: and he just I don't know what to say other
• 31:36
  Speaker 27: than sometimes I wonder my guys are betting on games.
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: I shouldn't say that.
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: Oh boy, oh boy.
• 31:44
  Speaker 27: I just wonder what's happening. I mean, because I know there,
• 31:47
  Speaker 27: we're too good a players to do that.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Was that a bad.
• 31:50
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: Was that a bad thing to say?
• 31:53
  Speaker 27: Rick?
• 31:53
  Speaker 22: Yeah?
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: In this climate?
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: Yes, Well, you know, you know it's like you just
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: don't joke about it.
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but I want to.
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: I didn't see the video of the guy's press conference,
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: but so many of these guys, the step and fetch
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: it or whatever those banners are, they all stand in
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: front of now the standing delivers, you know, they they
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: they have the team logo and then some sponsor logo
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: on it. Correct half of them are either MGM Sports
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: Book or Draft Kings Hard Rock Cam. So was he
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: was he saying that in front of like an MGM
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: bet Sportsbook app?
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: I don't.
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: I don't think they had the MGM Grand App betting
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: app in back of them. But you know, it's funny
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: you say that I did just on a little sidebar.
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: I have these guys, there's like three or four guys
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: that we play golf with that are so competitive and
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: just they want to they want to beat me like
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: a drum. They can't stand it. And these guys couldn't
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: break a hundred on their best day.
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: I mean, they just and.
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: They don't know the rules and they don't know the terminology.
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: And you know, I have to tell will you mark
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: your ball? No, that's a red line, that's lateral. You know,
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: I have to tell them that you know, no, you
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: can't ground your club and bunker. I mean, these they
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: love the game. They're a ball to play with, but
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: they know nothing. Okay, So it's it's just it's fun
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: for me. Well, anyway, they were giving me a bunch
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: of crap about my declining. You know, they think that
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: I'm on a decline and that they can beat me up.
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: They're like, I'm like twenty.
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: One and one against them. And you know, in the last.
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: Year and so I built a Tito's background and I
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: held a press conference and sent it to them and
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: they thought they thought it was the greatest thing since
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: sliced bread.
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: They so I built.
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: You could build those pretty easily, and AI will also
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: help you build. If you want to do a fake
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: press conference, Joe, it'll be pretty easy to make it.
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: All right, Well, background it.
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: Then then the first thing we have to do is say, uh,
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: sponsorships available by emailing JT in the morning radio at
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: Gmail's back gun. Because I'm not going to put up
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: a step and fetcher or whatever it's called, even an
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: artificial one until I have there's guy.
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, no exactly, And there's a guy and you would
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: you would be great at it because of all that
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: you do and you stay up, you would be awesome,
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: I think. But there's a guy on on social media
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: who does the press conference as a local hacker, and
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: but he imitates he imitates the PGA post game where really.
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: They just say nothing.
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: And this guy's really funny and he says, you know, well, yeah,
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: it was a big day for me.
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: I broke ninety eight. The twelve I made on six
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: did not help. I mean, he's just and he's real serious.
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: The beverage cart was was a little too, because.
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: You know that the hot dog at the turn and
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: the beer girl just you know, ruin my day. I mean,
• 34:41

• 35:22
  Speaker 7: And then Sunday, Teddy Swims, who, as I said, one
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: of the one of the great voices now in music,
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: will be in a tailgate concert. And the Green Day
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: is going to play at six. And of course Bad
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: Bunny last night jumped all over Ice. The first thing
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: he said, Ice is out got you know, standing ovation.
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: So Bad Bunny, I'm waiting for him to be booed
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: at halftime of the Super Bowl game on Sunday.
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: You know, I just think, you know, I don't know.
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: I just have a feeling that this is not a
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: very popular selection as far as Super Bowl Sunday. In
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: the halftime, I was watching the old Michael Jackson. When
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: Michael Jackson appeared in the Super Bowl the time I
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: forget the Super Bowl that it was Michael Jackson at
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: the top of the stadium comes out of a video board.
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: At least it was a Michael Jackson look alike and
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: then he and then he comes out of center stage.
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: I mean it was that was a show. You know,
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: those those are the shows that were really you know,
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: you know.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: What the hard part is now mac In in radio,
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: we narrow cast so much. Everything is so focused grouped.
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: One person becoming ubiquitously popular exactly is almost an anachronism.
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: There is nobody who was Who's the one? Uh, I
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: think it's not Bruno Mars, is it that did the
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: halftime show?
• 36:41
  Speaker 16: That?
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: I think Timberlake with No No No, with Jenna Jackson,
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: I mean stripping on stage, that might be, you know,
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: something to get the crowds back. But you know, I
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: just I don't see one person that's so, you know,
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: unless you're going to get Taylor Swift to play and.
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: No, no, no, well it's yeah, it's a different it's a
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: different era. Of course.
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: The greatest Super Bowl halftime ever was you two right
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: after nine to eleven. There will never be another halftime
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: as good as that. And when you think back at
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: some of the you know, zz Top played a halftime
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: Aerosmith played a halftime you know that.
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: But I mean I'm saying, just bring the two best
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: marching bands in the country out, have them each perform.
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: You know what?
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: That true? The Who? Remember the Who Who played a
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: Super Bowl half time.
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: They also played Altamont too so San Francisco and all that.
• 37:35
  Speaker 7: Lady Gaga off the swing coming down from the sky.
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: I mean there's anyways.
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: Hey, by the way, just got a text message saying
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: hold it. They're playing hockey already. Uh so people, people
• 37:48

• 38:05
  Speaker 18: percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
• 38:08
  Speaker 18: and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
• 38:11
  Speaker 18: critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
• 38:15
  Speaker 18: but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
• 38:19
  Speaker 18: student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
• 38:22
  Speaker 18: students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
• 38:26
  Speaker 18: forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
• 38:29
  Speaker 18: principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
• 38:33
  Speaker 18: the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 18: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  Speaker 18: while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
• 38:45
  Speaker 18: assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
• 38:49
  Speaker 18: students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
• 38:52

  Speaker 27: The question the.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: First Thing today on the Talk Median Network by Joe Thomas.
• 44:21
  Speaker 17: When the Soviets use the phrase ideological subversion, what do
• 44:26
  Speaker 17: they mean by it?
• 44:27
  Speaker 29: Ideological subversion is the slow process which we call either
• 44:33
  Speaker 29: ideological subversion or active measures actively miropriatia in the language
• 44:38
  Speaker 29: of the KGB, or psychological warfare. What it basically means
• 44:42
  Speaker 29: is to change the perception of reality of every American
• 44:48
  Speaker 29: to such an extent that, despite of the abundance of information,
• 44:53
  Speaker 29: no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in
• 44:57
  Speaker 29: the interests of defending themselves, families, their community, and their country.
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: And it's your imbuagement off KGB agent defector who came
• 45:08
  Speaker 6: to the United States and told us in nineteen eighty
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: four that this had been going on for three generations,
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: starting with elementary school, teaching our children that having something
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: was wrong and that giving it away was right, and
• 45:28
  Speaker 6: inserting a secular view of community rather than a holistic one.
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: And this is how you wind up with the riots
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: like they had in Portland, Failing as they were to
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: have this great nationwide shutdown. On Friday, they gathered outside
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: of an ice facility in Portland, Oregon, and started aggressively approaching.
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: The ice officers, attempting to disperse the crowd, used tear gas. Now,
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: the news coverage that you'll see talks about how the
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: ice officers tear gased young children, some so young they
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: were in strollers. See, this is how the ideological subversion works.
• 46:15
  Speaker 6: Nobody stops and says, or if you do, like us,
• 46:21
  Speaker 6: you're a ghoul for asking why did you bring a
• 46:24
  Speaker 6: toddler to an event like this? What were you bringing
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: your children to this to be other than fodder for
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: the news media to say, oh my gosh, they tear
• 46:37
  Speaker 6: gas children. Why did the parents bring children to an
• 46:41
  Speaker 6: event that would bring tear gas out? And understand, I
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: will be the first one to tell you that these
• 46:48
  Speaker 6: officers are in incredibly stressful situations. But we need to
• 46:54
  Speaker 6: work very hard at not falling prey to the bait
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: and switch. Because Mac was talking about the hockey game
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: the Bruins and the Tampa Bay Lightning outdoors in Tampa.
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: Go figure, Florida actually was cold enough to have a
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: hockey game outdoors in Tampa. But in hockey, there's an expression.
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: It's called a goon. Have you ever heard maybe your
• 47:21
  Speaker 6: favorite hockey team has a goon? Is somebody who has
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: hundreds of penalty minutes and maybe a goal or two.
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: Their whole purpose on the game, in the game is
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: to go after the other team's best player and harass
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: them and annoy them and frustrate them to the point
• 47:40
  Speaker 6: where they drop the gloves and both their best player
• 47:44
  Speaker 6: and your goon get five minute fighting majors, and now
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: their best player is off the ice for five minutes.
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: That's what these people in Portland are. They are the
• 47:57
  Speaker 6: goons who come into the corner at start getting you
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: with the stick and the kidneys until you turn around
• 48:04
  Speaker 6: and you drop the gloves. And I'm not saying the
• 48:07
  Speaker 6: ice officers were not justified in trying to disperse the
• 48:11
  Speaker 6: crowd with tear gas, but this is why the agitators
• 48:16
  Speaker 6: brought children in strollers to this And there are other
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: groups on the planet, perhaps you've heard of some of
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: them that hide behind children. Kareem wrote a great essay
• 48:34
  Speaker 6: quoting gold in my Ear earlier texting us at four
• 48:38
  Speaker 6: three four eight A two four two one seven because
• 48:41
  Speaker 6: you know, most of these groups who hide behind children
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: are by their names like Hamas and Hezbola and Kareem's
• 48:52
  Speaker 6: text quoting gold in my Ear. We can forgive the
• 48:57
  Speaker 6: Arabs for killing our children. We can and not forgive
• 49:00
  Speaker 6: them for forcing us to kill their children. We will
• 49:04
  Speaker 6: only have peace with the Arabs when they love their
• 49:08
  Speaker 6: children more than they hate us. And what we're facing
• 49:13
  Speaker 6: is a group of agitators, many of them in the
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: same group that would go out and protest on behalf
• 49:21
  Speaker 6: of Hamas and Hasbola and other quote unquote marginalized communities. Still,
• 49:27
  Speaker 6: to me, one of the great moments in marketing is
• 49:30
  Speaker 6: how you can rebrand Hamas as a marginalized community. But
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: in any event, that's who hides behind children, Just like
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: this group in Portland hid behind children as they protested there,
• 49:48
  Speaker 6: and it was designed to take your eye away from
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: the fact that their quote unquote nationwide shut down protest
• 49:56
  Speaker 6: wentw showed up. I think twelve people showed up in
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: Harrisonburg and marched up and down in front of stores
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: that were still open, hollering at them, berating them, most
• 50:10
  Speaker 6: of them sitting there saying, I just need to sell sandwiches.
• 50:17
  Speaker 6: But the ideological subversion has been so thorough in this group.
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: And understand that Marxism, socialism in general requires there to
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: be a class warfare. And so the best way to
• 50:34
  Speaker 6: get these agitator groups together is to convince them that
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: they are fighting on behalf of an underclass that just
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: wants the opportunity to come and clean up our dishes
• 50:49
  Speaker 6: after we leave the restaurant. They want to be seen
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: as caring, but they're missing the holistic view of what
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: caring looks like. If you get somebody away from the crowd,
• 51:10
  Speaker 6: and you have to do this the hard way. You
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: can't go up to these folks when they're in this frenzy,
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: this almost Manson like frenzy of chanting and hey hey
• 51:21
  Speaker 6: ho ho ice officers got to go. And when they're
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: in this dark zen, you can't talk to them because
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: they're just quoting hey hey ho ho I've been. You
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: get them away from it and maybe you're having a
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: cup of tea and somebody says, hey, I was at
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: that thing, and you're like, okay, So how many folks
• 51:43
  Speaker 6: have you hired at your job that are non citizens?
• 51:47
  Speaker 10: Oh?
• 51:48
  Speaker 6: No, no, we don't do that. I mean we just
• 51:50
  Speaker 6: we want them to have an opportunity. But I mean
• 51:53
  Speaker 6: I can't I can't hire them, or if they do,
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: their low pay, low wage staff in some position that
• 52:04
  Speaker 6: these activists, these agitators don't want to pay more for.
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: So the foe concern that they're presenting, the virtue signaling
• 52:15
  Speaker 6: that they're engaging in, has to be called out, and
• 52:19
  Speaker 6: it's being distracted away under the news headlines of oh,
• 52:23
  Speaker 6: the ice officers tear gased children and strollers. Their parents
• 52:30
  Speaker 6: were the ones that brought them there. The parents said, hey,
• 52:34
  Speaker 6: let's pack up Junior, get some sippy cups and head
• 52:40
  Speaker 6: down to the Ice detention center for a picnic. But
• 52:46
  Speaker 6: it's the ice officers fault for tear gassing their parents.
