Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Why are democrats not louder at that time about this release?
- 0:05Speaker 2: So a couple of things.
- 0:06Speaker 1: Number one, you have penny litigation.
- 0:08Speaker 3: From the home of the First Amendment. First thing today.
- 0:12Speaker 4: We're not letting any loss.
- 0:13Speaker 5: Avoiding prosecution.
- 0:15Speaker 6: Isn't the standard that I was shooting for, George.
- 0:17Speaker 7: Said, steal men, you have a day.
- 0:22Speaker 5: At least for work.
- 0:22Speaker 8: When the sun comes up, drops a pet to scoot.
- 0:27Speaker 9: Joe is a thing agenda.
- 0:29Speaker 10: All the jasu needs no one that Joe's smile.
- 0:34Speaker 7: He all the eggs be.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Joe.
- 0:40Speaker 11: Thank you for letting give service to you this morning.
- 0:43Speaker 12: I want to be Joe.
- 0:46Speaker 13: You know what we do here.
- 0:48Speaker 11: First thing today, we tell you what went on last night.
- 0:51Speaker 11: We will tell you how we see it playing out
- 0:54Speaker 11: and what we see in between the debris in the
- 0:58Speaker 11: crime scene. But mostly I want to find out how
- 1:01Speaker 11: it's impacting you where you are at. You do that
- 1:04Speaker 11: through the phone number four three four eight eight two
- 1:08Speaker 11: four two one seven. You can also text message into
- 1:12Speaker 11: there as well. We'll get back into We were just
- 1:14Speaker 11: breaking down before the news the issue of what's happening
- 1:19Speaker 11: with the Republican Party and data. And I don't mean
- 1:22Speaker 11: Brent Spiner either, for you star trek nerds. I mean,
- 1:26Speaker 11: why can't they use data very well to identify the voters,
- 1:30Speaker 11: get out the voters and do the things. I mean, really,
- 1:33Speaker 11: this is what a political party is supposed to do,
- 1:35Speaker 11: isn't it get the voters motivated for a candidate based
- 1:41Speaker 11: on their endorsement of him. But it's it's turned, it's
- 1:46Speaker 11: become perverted. I'm not looking forward to entertainment this weekend.
- 1:50Speaker 11: You're going to be inundated this weekend. It's Norenberg and
- 1:54Speaker 11: Oh he made Jumny great again? You know. And the
- 2:00Speaker 11: way they're portraying this is this is such a hamhanded
- 2:04Speaker 11: attempt to make Hitler sound like Trump, like the nineteen
- 2:10Speaker 11: thirties version of Oh he made us feel gentleman again.
- 2:15Speaker 11: I just so I have no interest. I mean, I'd
- 2:19Speaker 11: rather go watch William Shatner portray a lawyer in judgment
- 2:25Speaker 11: at Nuremberg, Carrie Grant in that. I mean, there's an
- 2:30Speaker 11: all star cast in that. I think you have Ken
- 2:33Speaker 11: Burns American Revolution documentary, and I've seen Ken Burns has
- 2:40Speaker 11: done some terrific things. His bit on cancer, the Emperor
- 2:46Speaker 11: of All Maladies, that's a terrific documentary but I'm just
- 2:55Speaker 11: this one, this timed this way, I get it. Sure,
- 2:59Speaker 11: it's two hundred fifty years we went up to conquered Massachusetts.
- 3:03Speaker 11: But once we were in conquered Massachusetts, boy, we were
- 3:08Speaker 11: assaulted and just overrun by the leftists claiming that Trump
- 3:13Speaker 11: was a tyrant. So I cannot see how ken Burns
- 3:16Speaker 11: documentary doesn't come out tainted along that angle that you know,
- 3:24Speaker 11: every time you know, an issue of King George will
- 3:27Speaker 11: come about, it'll be portrayed in a very similar milieu
- 3:31Speaker 11: to something that's happening right now. Oh well, you know,
- 3:37Speaker 11: King George just wanted to make the British umpire great
- 3:40Speaker 11: again and stuff like that. So I just I can't see.
- 3:45Speaker 11: And of course it'll be replete with all the racial
- 3:48Speaker 11: inequities that were hanging on. It'll probably completely avoid Jefferson's
- 3:54Speaker 11: call to end slavery through the declaration of Independence. It's
- 3:59Speaker 11: just forward to either one of these things this weekend,
- 4:03Speaker 11: So spend your Saturday morning with me instead. It'll be
- 4:06Speaker 11: a radio play and our first things this morning. Judge
- 4:13Speaker 11: in Chicago has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to
- 4:16Speaker 11: release more than six hundred illegal immigrants held at a
- 4:20Speaker 11: detention Center in suburban Chicago for repeated material violations of
- 4:27Speaker 11: a court approved to consent decree that limited who could
- 4:31Speaker 11: be detained under US immigration law. Judge Jeffrey Cummings then
- 4:37Speaker 11: taking the alliterative approach, saying, it's a pattern of unlawful arrests.
- 4:43Speaker 11: It's unconsent decree, aggress but lawful, and that will be
- 4:49Speaker 11: the challenges as it gets appealed. No word on where
- 4:52Speaker 11: the six hundred illegals be released, but we can rest
- 4:55Speaker 11: assured it's not going to be district Judge Jeffrey Cummings.
- 4:58Speaker 11: Neighborhood government employees had to survive the shutdown on promises
- 5:03Speaker 11: of receiving back pay. Some of them had the blue flu,
- 5:07Speaker 11: like air traffic controllers. Meanwhile, Congress was continued to be paid.
- 5:12Speaker 11: Rank and file members, earning four hundred and seventy six
- 5:16Speaker 11: dollars per day in their per diem, took home more
- 5:19Speaker 11: than ten million dollars combined during the shutdown. This because
- 5:23Speaker 11: Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts, do we need to say
- 5:26Speaker 11: as a Democrat blocked a bipartisan proposal to suspend congressional pay.
- 5:33Speaker 11: South Korean President Lee May j Mung said Friday that
- 5:36Speaker 11: South Korea and the US have a joint fact sheet
- 5:40Speaker 11: settled on that outlines how new agreements on trade, defense,
- 5:43Speaker 11: and technology will work. Meanwhile, the Trump administration said it's
- 5:47Speaker 11: also reached trade frameworks with Argentina, Ecuador, l Salvador, and Guatemala.
- 5:54Speaker 11: The frameworks will increase the ability of US companies to
- 5:57Speaker 11: sell industrial and agriculture products in those countries. US Coastguards
- 6:03Speaker 11: said that they missed the old days when they used
- 6:06Speaker 11: to pretend they were fishing boats. But they've caught a
- 6:09Speaker 11: Russian spy vessel off the United States. It's been there
- 6:12Speaker 11: for about two weeks. The VISHNYA class intelligence ship fifteen
- 6:16Speaker 11: miles off of Owahu and First Lady Melania Trump, along
- 6:21Speaker 11: with her husband, started a new initiative aimed at improving
- 6:25Speaker 11: career ad for children in foster care. Is your son

- 10:24Speaker 17: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 10:27Speaker 17: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

- 13:09Speaker 3: The first Thing today on the Talk Media Network by
- 13:15Speaker 3: Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas in Charlott's.
- 13:19Speaker 13: Mouth, that's always the question is that you know who's
- 13:32Speaker 13: calling the shots, who's pulling the strings.
- 13:34Speaker 11: The left will love to tell you that Vladimir Putin
- 13:38Speaker 11: is pulling the strings on Donald Trump. Whenever there's a
- 13:41Speaker 11: Republican president, there's always somebody pulling the strings. The late
- 13:46Speaker 11: Dick Cheney was the guy pulling the strings on George W. Bush,
- 13:51Speaker 11: Vladimir Putin. There's never anyone pulling the strings. There's never
- 13:54Speaker 11: any discussion of folks like Valerie Jarrett or such in
- 13:59Speaker 11: the Democratic brand new new No, no, no, that's uh.
- 14:03Speaker 11: They're they're they're just doing it for the love of
- 14:06Speaker 11: the game. So we were talking with Scott Pio, who's a
- 14:11Speaker 11: Republican Party chair, about the issues the Republican Party has
- 14:15Speaker 11: with data and and I said, so, why what, What's
- 14:20Speaker 11: what's the issue with the data? Who who could possibly
- 14:24Speaker 11: be getting in the way of that? And understand before
- 14:28Speaker 11: I played the clip here of my conversation with Scott
- 14:31Speaker 11: Pio who he's making the rounds everyone, UH is sharing
- 14:36Speaker 11: his content because he's calling for radical changes in the
- 14:40Speaker 11: Republican Party here in Virginia after its ignominious defeats on
- 14:43Speaker 11: a national stage, UH and beyond, and lots of national
- 14:47Speaker 11: outlets have picked them up on on this call to
- 14:51Speaker 11: to radically change and to take the turning point us
- 14:55Speaker 11: a model on how to overthrow the Republican Party. Remember,
- 14:59Speaker 11: Charlie led this insurrection if you will against Republican Party
- 15:04Speaker 11: leadership and wound up getting it changed. You know, Mitt
- 15:12Speaker 11: Romney's niece ousted, and Rona McDaniel and all the entrenched
- 15:19Speaker 11: folks who had other agendas than just winning elections. And
- 15:26Speaker 11: so I asked Scott, I said, is is it is?
- 15:30Speaker 5: There?
- 15:31Speaker 11: Is there a group? Is there a corruptive force in
- 15:35Speaker 11: this problem with the Republican Party?
- 15:37Speaker 2: And he told me is the Republican Party should be
- 15:40Speaker 2: providing services to our candidates for free, which the consultants
- 15:45Speaker 2: charged for. So if you're if you're doing social media,
- 15:50Speaker 2: the Republican Party should be able to do it free
- 15:52Speaker 2: or close to free, or at fast. If you're doing
- 15:55Speaker 2: text messages, if you're doing phone calls, the Republican Party
- 15:58Speaker 2: of Virginia should be able to do it at cost.
- 16:00Speaker 2: But when you have when you have a voter outreach
- 16:04Speaker 2: and a consultant comes in, you're talking about ninety percent
- 16:08Speaker 2: margin upticks. So if a single text message in reality
- 16:12Speaker 2: costs at cost is point zero zero eight cent, So
- 16:18Speaker 2: less than a cent is a single text message, that's
- 16:20Speaker 2: what it costs to send out a text message at cost?
- 16:23Speaker 11: Okay, And a.
- 16:24Speaker 2: Consultant will come in and charge between six to ten
- 16:28Speaker 2: cents per message.
- 16:30Speaker 11: Oh my god.
- 16:31Speaker 2: So if you want, if you want to the entire state,
- 16:35Speaker 2: and you're going to deal with consultant margins, you're only
- 16:38Speaker 2: going to be able to send one or two text messages.
- 16:40Speaker 2: But if you do it at cost, which the Republican
- 16:43Speaker 2: Party could provide to our candidates. And I squarely tell
- 16:47Speaker 2: you that the Louden GOP, the Louden Republican Committee does
- 16:51Speaker 2: provide at cost, but the Republican Party of Virginia does not.
- 16:56Speaker 2: You could send out ten text messages for the price
- 16:58Speaker 2: of one when going.
- 16:59Speaker 5: Through a consultant.
- 17:00Speaker 11: Right, that's amazing.
- 17:01Speaker 2: Reublic the Republican Party should have a print house. They
- 17:05Speaker 2: should be printing all the literature at costs for our candidates.
- 17:09Speaker 2: The Republican Party should have a sign warehouse and a
- 17:14Speaker 2: sign print shop that does it at costs for our candidates.
- 17:19Speaker 2: A sign will cost a dollar, and then the sign manufactures.
- 17:23Speaker 2: These vendors who print assigns will margin it out at
- 17:28Speaker 2: fifty to eighty percent margin, So a dollar sign plus
- 17:31Speaker 2: stake will cost at cost less than a dollar, and
- 17:37Speaker 2: they charge candidates four to five to six to seven
- 17:40Speaker 2: dollars per sign. And the Republican Republican Party of Virginia
- 17:45Speaker 2: was charging fifteen dollars. The Republican Party on their website
- 17:49Speaker 2: was charging fifteen dollars per sign to the candidate.
- 17:53Speaker 11: So the issue remains and you'll hear it. Hopefully the
- 17:57Speaker 11: entirety of the interview is going to be published as
- 17:59Speaker 11: a pie cast. Again, I'm I'm gonna get this is
- 18:03Speaker 11: good to border on. Ameya culpa because it sounds like
- 18:07Speaker 11: we're bashing the existence or the industry of consultant and
- 18:11Speaker 11: we're not. Because I will be the first to tell
- 18:14Speaker 11: you having somebody take an outside look at your insides
- 18:18Speaker 11: is worthwhile. It is worth doing. It is good business
- 18:24Speaker 11: to have somebody dispassionately come into your business and say, yeah,
- 18:30Speaker 11: why do you do that? There's not wrong with that. However,
- 18:36Speaker 11: as our great philosopher Eric Hoffer has taught us, every
- 18:42Speaker 11: movement becomes a business and then it becomes a racket.
- 18:48Speaker 11: And what Scott is detailing here is a consultancy racket.
- 18:54Speaker 11: So we're in with the in club, and the inn
- 18:58Speaker 11: club will make sure we make money for every candidate,
- 19:02Speaker 11: and then the candidates have to go out and fundraise
- 19:05Speaker 11: and then give the money to You see how this
- 19:08Speaker 11: becomes a self licking ice cream cone. And so really,
- 19:12Speaker 11: who's calling the shots? Is it the consultant who doesn't
- 19:15Speaker 11: want to lose? So do the voters get to choose
- 19:19Speaker 11: who the candidates are? Do the party elders get to
- 19:23Speaker 11: choose who the candidates are? And you have to look
- 19:25Speaker 11: at your own because this is not I asked Scott
- 19:28Speaker 11: about this letter. Is this isolated to Virginia? He said
- 19:33Speaker 11: absolutely not. He said New Jersey had the same issues
- 19:38Speaker 11: because these parties, especially in states that teeter on blueness
- 19:44Speaker 11: or are completely blue, have just gone into relying on
- 19:48Speaker 11: the national party, and the consultants come along and without
- 19:54Speaker 11: really needing to answer for their outcomes because it's New York,
- 20:00Speaker 11: or it's Connecticut, or it's California Portland, they shrug and
- 20:07Speaker 11: they say, hey, we ran a good race, and they
- 20:09Speaker 11: get they're the ones who walk home the winners. And again,
- 20:13Speaker 11: I am not saying consulting is a bad thing. As
- 20:16Speaker 11: I mentioned the Daily Signal itself, I'm good. I have
- 20:19Speaker 11: to go and do some donor meetings. I've never done
- 20:22Speaker 11: that before. So I called upon a friend of mine
- 20:26Speaker 11: who has and I said, so, what am I supposed
- 20:28Speaker 11: to do? How do I be successful in these donor meetings?
- 20:32Speaker 11: What is it? And he consulted with me, so you know,
- 20:39Speaker 11: a checkup from the neck up is not untoward. But
- 20:46Speaker 11: it's when the racket evolves. In Eric Hoffer's philosophy, once
- 20:51Speaker 11: it becomes a racket, once the consultants know, here's how
- 20:55Speaker 11: we can make sure that we make money at the
- 20:58Speaker 11: end of the day, that's when it becomes a problem.
- 21:05Speaker 11: That's when you know, the consultants say, we don't like
- 21:08Speaker 11: this guy. We want somebody else for a lieutenant governor
- 21:12Speaker 11: let's just say hypothetically, or we want somebody different for governor.
- 21:17Speaker 11: We don't like this candidate for whatever reason, and it
- 21:23Speaker 11: gets in between the voters and the people that they
- 21:27Speaker 11: might support in an effort to have, you know, authority,
- 21:35Speaker 11: to be able to go out and claim that look
- 21:37Speaker 11: at what I've done and pay my consultant firm this
- 21:41Speaker 11: much money. Because if you look at some of these
- 21:45Speaker 11: consultant firms, they're not selling victories. They're not selling their
- 21:49Speaker 11: one loss record. They're selling their ability to move data
- 21:53Speaker 11: and move points. And fewer and far between of them
- 21:56Speaker 11: actually ever tell you how many of these pieces they
- 21:59Speaker 11: actually one.

- 28:11Speaker 3: Question the first thing today on the Talk media Network
- 28:15Speaker 3: by Joe Thomas.
- 28:17Speaker 11: At this time on a Friday morning for Mac McDonald,
- 28:20Speaker 11: our sports striker, to open his notebook, and I imagine
- 28:24Speaker 11: some of it is setting the scene for the weekend
- 28:27Speaker 11: that will be Good morning, Mac. How you doing, buddy?
- 28:30Speaker 6: Yeah, you know it is going to be a great
- 28:32Speaker 6: weekend because you know, there are plenty of storylines and
- 28:35Speaker 6: not to over you know, of course, Virginia do close
- 28:39Speaker 6: to home, and there's so much talk about Chandler Morris.
- 28:42Speaker 6: He has been listed as questionable, which is perfect for
- 28:46Speaker 6: Virginia to do that forty eight hour The a SEC
- 28:49Speaker 6: requires a forty eight hour notice, so you list him
- 28:51Speaker 6: as questionable, it means yeah, he'll probably play. He was
- 28:54Speaker 6: back at practice Wednesday, so anyway, and then you know,
- 28:58Speaker 6: we've overlooked kind of the story line of Mike Norvial.
- 29:01Speaker 6: His last home game is against Virginia Tech, you know,
- 29:04Speaker 6: the head coach at Florida State. People are saying, will
- 29:07Speaker 6: he be fired, will he be changed?
- 29:09Speaker 13: Will he move on?
- 29:10Speaker 5: What's going to happen?
- 29:12Speaker 6: Because they have their last two games are going to
- 29:14Speaker 6: be on the road really meaning nothing, but they're trying
- 29:17Speaker 6: to become Bowl eligible, so you know, and where does
- 29:19Speaker 6: Virginia Tech fall so ANDWHI I'll get into all that,
- 29:22Speaker 6: but a little offensive talked today because the Cavs.
- 29:26Speaker 5: Have won eight of the last nine.
- 29:28Speaker 6: Normally Duke and Virginia games are shootouts because the offenses
- 29:32Speaker 6: are pretty good. Now Duke is four and one in
- 29:35Speaker 6: the ACC. It's their best mark in eleven years. Since
- 29:39Speaker 6: nineteen fifty three, four and one in the ACC has
- 29:42Speaker 6: happened just eleven times. Nineteen ninety four was the last
- 29:46Speaker 6: time Duke has gone five and one in the ACC.
- 29:50Speaker 6: So if you look at all that, and then of
- 29:51Speaker 6: course Virginia's got some credentials too, none of which I'm
- 29:54Speaker 6: telling you means anything. When they kick it off at
- 29:56Speaker 6: three thirty Wallace. Wait, Virginia in one on the road,
- 30:01Speaker 6: back to back seasons with three road wins. That's the
- 30:04Speaker 6: first time in twenty six years. So a lot has happened. Okay,
- 30:07Speaker 6: I give you those numbers. A lot has happened. But
- 30:10Speaker 6: as Tony Elliott explained this week, it just spoils down,
- 30:13Speaker 6: at least offensively and defensively too. It's eleven on eleven. Okay,
- 30:18Speaker 6: to simplify the game, it's mono a mono.
- 30:21Speaker 27: Don't wait on somebody else to make a play. You
- 30:23Speaker 27: had the intensity and the focus and the attention to detail,
- 30:26Speaker 27: and you go make the play. And you want to
- 30:28Speaker 27: be the guy in the game of football, Right, You're
- 30:30Speaker 27: gonna lose someone on once every every once in a while,
- 30:33Speaker 27: because really what it comes down to was eleven one
- 30:35Speaker 27: on ones right every single play, and we lost. We
- 30:38Speaker 27: lost a couple one on ones and in opportune times
- 30:41Speaker 27: that resulted in some some turnoffs. Let's go play to
- 30:44Speaker 27: our standard and not wait around.
- 30:46Speaker 5: Hey, Matt, that you know, and I have a feeling
- 30:48Speaker 5: this team's really you know, it is gonna be ready.
- 30:50Speaker 5: I have channel more will make a big, big difference.
- 30:52Speaker 11: Hey, I've got a question for you. I'm kind of
- 30:54Speaker 11: curious about this. This is more the social arbiter, the
- 30:58Speaker 11: armchair socil just that I am. How is Tony Elliott,
- 31:03Speaker 11: who you know, was a was the offensive or defensive
- 31:05Speaker 11: coordinator at Clemson during the offensive coordinator at Clemson during
- 31:10Speaker 11: all those championship runs there, so he knows what it
- 31:13Speaker 11: looks like when the media hordes descend on you. But
- 31:17Speaker 11: he's been in anonymity. He's been in the coaching witness
- 31:20Speaker 11: protection program at Virginia aside from the horrific murders that
- 31:25Speaker 11: took place three years ago to the day yesterday, what
- 31:29Speaker 11: he was kind of thrust into the spotlight a little bit.
- 31:33Speaker 11: How is he handling as somebody who has seen a
- 31:35Speaker 11: lot of this, you know, how do you feel like
- 31:37Speaker 11: he's handled the scrutiny of being you know, the flavor
- 31:41Speaker 11: of the month now as the sports world says, who's Virginia?
- 31:45Speaker 5: I've never heard of Virginia. So that's a great question.
- 31:48Speaker 6: A lot of people probably haven't talked about it, but
- 31:50Speaker 6: you know, he's done some national interviews now, similar to
- 31:53Speaker 6: Tony Bellady Tony Bennett, he has talked about the pillars
- 31:56Speaker 6: of the program, how he did it when he got
- 31:59Speaker 6: there right first. But what happened was when Virginia is
- 32:03Speaker 6: front office and this has to happen when I say
- 32:06Speaker 6: the front office now, but you know the athletic office
- 32:08Speaker 6: and the athletic director and the you know, the board
- 32:10Speaker 6: of visitors and your board of trust. Now, you know,
- 32:12Speaker 6: when you say, okay, here's thirty mil right now, programs
- 32:17Speaker 6: are developing nil basic basic basics, I guess is the
- 32:24Speaker 6: best way to say.
- 32:24Speaker 5: I was trying to think, but nil money.
- 32:28Speaker 6: And it is so big and recruiting now that when
- 32:32Speaker 6: you and so Tony Elliott, you know, fifty four new players,
- 32:35Speaker 6: thirty transfers, but they said, okay, here, we're going to
- 32:40Speaker 6: give you thirty million now and then. But you know,
- 32:42Speaker 6: so they put money into the football program. It's made
- 32:45Speaker 6: a huge difference. They got a good quarterback, they got
- 32:47Speaker 6: a couple of really good offensive linemen, a couple of
- 32:50Speaker 6: good running backs. I mean, you know, you go up
- 32:52Speaker 6: and down the roster on how it happened, and so
- 32:56Speaker 6: that has just made a big difference. Plus, the Virginia
- 32:59Speaker 6: schedule wasn't a gauntlet really, you know, it's not like
- 33:02Speaker 6: they had Notre Dame on the schedule this year. It's
- 33:04Speaker 6: not like they had uh, you know, Clemson and uh,
- 33:08Speaker 6: you know, the really good ACC teams.
- 33:11Speaker 5: So, but Duke, Duke just surprises everybody.
- 33:13Speaker 6: They're five and four, Duke is but they're four and
- 33:17Speaker 6: one in the ACC and Duke's you know, Duke.
- 33:20Speaker 5: Hasn't uh you know, they haven't played anybody really.
- 33:24Speaker 22: You know.
- 33:25Speaker 11: Uh, that's the problem with the ACC, isn't it. The
- 33:28Speaker 11: problem with the ACC, with the with the exception of
- 33:30Speaker 11: Miami and Clemson.
- 33:32Speaker 6: Absolutely up and down because you got Louisville, you got Clemson.
- 33:35Speaker 6: Miami was supposed to be good. I mean they've fallen
- 33:37Speaker 6: on our times. You know, Carson Beck couldn't hit the ocean.
- 33:40Speaker 6: So I mean, there's just yeah. So it's a great
- 33:44Speaker 6: question about Tony Elliott. Tony Elliott's the same he really is.
- 33:47Speaker 6: It's just okay, we're going to work. We're gonna see
- 33:49Speaker 6: what happens. You know, Hey, Caylon, get in there, next
- 33:52Speaker 6: man up. Don't fumble. He fumbled twice, you know, three turnovers.
- 33:56Speaker 6: They hadn't fumbled all year. So just to be the problem,
- 34:00Speaker 6: you're in headlights and they still almost won, you know, so.
- 34:03Speaker 11: Still to be the problem causer. So let's say they
- 34:06Speaker 11: make the playoffs. So let's say they get to the
- 34:08Speaker 11: A SEC championship game, they win it, and then they
- 34:11Speaker 11: go to the NC Double A playoffs and they maybe
- 34:14Speaker 11: they win a game and they make it into the
- 34:16Speaker 11: next round. How quickly does a school like Penn State
- 34:22Speaker 11: or or you you you name some school that's been
- 34:25Speaker 11: struggling to get over the hump, Arizona State or Texas.
- 34:31Speaker 6: You know, except for when you look at I mean,
- 34:33Speaker 6: look what Kurt Signetti did in Indiana. They're the flavor
- 34:36Speaker 6: of the month, right, and they've done it back to
- 34:38Speaker 6: the back years. Why well, Signetti said, I gotta have ABC,
- 34:43Speaker 6: I gotta have no money.
- 34:44Speaker 5: It's it's not so much facilities now. It used to.
- 34:47Speaker 6: You know, you would take a kid on a tour
- 34:49Speaker 6: and hey, look at our weight room and by god,
- 34:51Speaker 6: we you know, we eat stake every night.
- 34:53Speaker 5: And no, it's not it's not facilities anymore. It's how
- 34:58Speaker 5: much am I gonna make?
- 34:59Speaker 11: Right show?
- 35:00Speaker 5: Milling up and down the rock.
- 35:02Speaker 6: That's why Nick Saban's not coaching, because you know, he
- 35:05Speaker 6: he couldn't stand that they kids didn't want to be developed.
- 35:08Speaker 5: They just want to know what's in the bags.
- 35:11Speaker 11: As Dean Sanders, you know, at some point, at some
- 35:13Speaker 11: point there's going to be a research like make make
- 35:16Speaker 11: money now or later, because certainly Saban's point was play
- 35:20Speaker 11: at Alabama. Start at Alabama. You'll get paid on Sunday,
- 35:24Speaker 11: you know, at the end of your time here.
- 35:26Speaker 6: You Yeah, that was Saban's philosophy for sure. And that's
- 35:30Speaker 6: why I had the I laughed and I told you
- 35:33Speaker 6: about this a couple of days ago when Jimmy Sexton,
- 35:36Speaker 6: who represents every great foot college football coach in America. Uh,
- 35:41Speaker 6: you know, And Nick Saban said, Jimmy Sexton calls miss
- 35:45Speaker 6: Terry Wow, I'm gonna tell her, and that's his wife.
- 35:49Speaker 5: Of course, I'm gonna tell her. Do not talk to
- 35:52Speaker 5: Jimmy six. I'm not listening. He's being rumored for l
- 35:55Speaker 5: s U And I know everything. Kiffen has been great.
- 35:58Speaker 6: That's why I've been so absorbed in these press conferences
- 36:01Speaker 6: all all week because Lane Kiffin has been great. He's
- 36:05Speaker 6: been getting all the questions, what about your team whatever?
- 36:08Speaker 6: And Kiffin says, look, this is what happens. This is
- 36:11Speaker 6: why it's happening. And it's you know, it's the it's
- 36:14Speaker 6: the programs now that decide. Okay, we got to put
- 36:16Speaker 6: together and what happens is your Indiana's, your Oregon's, your
- 36:20Speaker 6: Ohio States, your you know, the teams that are really
- 36:23Speaker 6: even Alabama, they've been ahead of the curve, like when
- 36:26Speaker 6: Neil hit right away they knew like Alabama's staff years
- 36:31Speaker 6: ago went with you know, they.
- 36:33Speaker 5: Had a dozen recruiting experts, not just two or three,
- 36:37Speaker 5: they had a dozen.
- 36:39Speaker 6: If you looked at the Alabama staff, I mean it
- 36:41Speaker 6: was remarkable which Saban had put together. And that's why
- 36:46Speaker 6: Alabama's ahead of the curve. And you know some of
- 36:48Speaker 6: these other schools are just like because schools were just late.
- 36:51Speaker 6: They didn't have the money for and that's why, well
- 36:54Speaker 6: it's a perfect example.
- 36:55Speaker 5: Why did wit.
- 36:56Speaker 6: Babcock go to the Board of Visitors and say we
- 36:58Speaker 6: need two hundred and thirty million for Virginia Tech. Why
- 37:01Speaker 6: is James Franklin getting rides around campus and talking about Okay,
- 37:06Speaker 6: I don't care about houses right now, what's your NIL
- 37:09Speaker 6: program look like?
- 37:10Speaker 5: And how can I can I get player? I recruit?
- 37:13Speaker 5: And he's a great recruiter.
- 37:14Speaker 6: That's one of the reasons that Franklin and that could
- 37:16Speaker 6: surface today, could surface Monday, or it could fall on
- 37:19Speaker 6: his face so that you know, I check my phone
- 37:21Speaker 6: and every time it buzzes, I go, okay, you know
- 37:24Speaker 6: I'm waiting for that phone call.
- 37:25Speaker 5: But that's just the way we see.
- 37:26Speaker 6: So anyway, Virginia Tech Florida State text three and three
- 37:29Speaker 6: under Montgomery and you know so, and the Noles have
- 37:33Speaker 6: lost five of the last six.
- 37:35Speaker 5: They're favored by by thirteen and a half and Duke
- 37:38Speaker 5: the Duke line drop by the way, they're they're favored

- 44:19Speaker 3: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
- 44:23Speaker 3: Media Network by Joe Thomas, and it.
- 44:30Speaker 11: Begins, you know, I don't think most Americans were ready
- 44:35Speaker 11: for twenty twenty six to begin yet, but the gauntlet
- 44:39Speaker 11: is already being thrown down about twenty twenty eight. MTG
- 44:43Speaker 11: versus JD and I don't know anyone whose name doesn't
- 44:47Speaker 11: begin with initials or as an acronym. I guess could
- 44:50Speaker 11: be in the fraid help us make sense of it all.
- 44:52Speaker 11: The host of the Good for America podcast and former
- 44:57Speaker 11: House Freedom Concuss chair, and a man who's seen it
- 45:01Speaker 11: from the business side, from the political side, and now
- 45:05Speaker 11: working on our side of the street trying to make
- 45:07Speaker 11: sense of it all. He is Bob Good, Good morning, Bob.
- 45:09Speaker 11: How are you, sir?
- 45:11Speaker 1: Good morning, Joe. I hope you're well. I'm doing well.
- 45:13Speaker 11: Also, absolutely these mornings a couple of weeks until Thanksgiving
- 45:18Speaker 11: and remind us of the you know, the better things.
- 45:20Speaker 11: Hopefully our families don't get torn asunder in political discussions.
- 45:25Speaker 11: I know the next two weeks will probably have all
- 45:28Speaker 11: sorts of pieces on the news about how to avoid
- 45:30Speaker 11: political fights at Thanksgiving.
- 45:34Speaker 1: What you do is you raise your kids to appreciate
- 45:36Speaker 1: the Constitution. The founders are Judeo Christian principles, have a
- 45:40Speaker 1: biblical constitutional worldview, and you don't have this kind of
- 45:45Speaker 1: a tough situation around Thanksgiving.
- 45:48Speaker 11: Well, sure it sounds easy when you say it that way, Bob,
- 45:52Speaker 11: so let me. I want to talk about a deal
- 45:54Speaker 11: or no deal as the government, although if you go
- 45:58Speaker 11: to the Federal Communications Commissions website ain't open yet, but
- 46:02Speaker 11: the signing of the deal. But I want to ask
- 46:04Speaker 11: about the beginnings of twenty twenty eight already, as you've
- 46:08Speaker 11: got Marjorie Taylor Green, who I know that you've worked
- 46:12Speaker 11: with and then kind of had prickly moments with in
- 46:14Speaker 11: the day, and JD. Vance, all sort of trying to
- 46:17Speaker 11: mark their territory for a presidential election that I was
- 46:22Speaker 11: hoping we could at least get to twenty twenty seven
- 46:24Speaker 11: before we had to start talking about.
- 46:28Speaker 1: Well, yeah, there's no time like the president, I guess
- 46:30Speaker 1: for politicians. But it's you know, we had the consumer
- 46:34Speaker 1: shut down for what forty three days, records shut downs,
- 46:37Speaker 1: absolutely shut down by the Democrats.
- 46:39Speaker 28: It was their fault.
- 46:41Speaker 1: Republicans, whether you agree or disagree, or like or dislike
- 46:44Speaker 1: what they did. They did pass, at least out of
- 46:47Speaker 1: the House, the Biden Budget continue it a continuing resolution.
- 46:51Speaker 1: Both you and I bemoaned that and criticize that appropriately,
- 46:54Speaker 1: but they did fund the government of the House, and
- 46:56Speaker 1: the Republican in the Senate all but one we're voting
- 46:58Speaker 1: to continue that.
- 47:00Speaker 11: The deal was.
- 47:01Speaker 1: Made which on the whole, at least Republicans did not
- 47:06Speaker 1: cave on extending the Obamacare subsidies at which would have
- 47:10Speaker 1: cost half a trillion dollars over ten years. At least
- 47:13Speaker 1: the cave on reversing the reasonable Medicaid cuts that don't
- 47:17Speaker 1: go into effect for a couple of years that were
- 47:19Speaker 1: part of the big bill that would have cost a
- 47:20Speaker 1: trillion dollars. And at least they didn't push the cr
- 47:25Speaker 1: into the holiday season, Thanksgiving, November, Christmas season, where you
- 47:29Speaker 1: and I have seen this movie so many times where
- 47:32Speaker 1: Congress sticks it to us with a bad deal at
- 47:34Speaker 1: the end of the year. They pushed it to January thirty,
- 47:36Speaker 1: so that would be the good. However, the three spending
- 47:41Speaker 1: bills that are for a full year increase spending by
- 47:45Speaker 1: four percent, which may not sound like a lot, but
- 47:48Speaker 1: it's a lot when you're borrowing two trillion a year
- 47:52Speaker 1: and we've got thirty eight trillion in debt heading to
- 47:55Speaker 1: forty trillion by the midterm. So the three bills of
- 47:57Speaker 1: the twelve, which were military can instruction in VA or
- 48:01Speaker 1: milkon VA, the AG bill AGG Department by Bad Culture,
- 48:07Speaker 1: and the third one Legislative break Funding of Congress essentially
- 48:14Speaker 1: put them together. They increase funding by four percent instead
- 48:17Speaker 1: of cutting funding.
- 48:19Speaker 3: H and again the.
- 48:22Speaker 1: CR through January thirty. For the other nine bills, we're
- 48:25Speaker 1: theoretically they're going to work on. That's keeping Biden level
- 48:28Speaker 1: funding in place, BIVIDD Biden COVID spending. They didn't you know,
- 48:32Speaker 1: all the federal workers who were declared non essential and
- 48:35Speaker 1: got the vacation, they're all going to get paid. There's
- 48:37Speaker 1: no reductions in force, no layoffs. They eliminated pay go,
- 48:43Speaker 1: really critical thing that's supposed to be in place where
- 48:45Speaker 1: you know, when you increase spending, you have to offset
- 48:47Speaker 1: it with other spending cuts in the future, which Congress
- 48:49Speaker 1: waves all the time, but they just want ahead waive that.
- 48:52Speaker 1: And of course they didn't reform food stamps. They got
- 48:56Speaker 1: extended for a year till September thirty, with no reforms,
- 49:00Speaker 1: spend one hundred million dollars a year, forty million Americans
- 49:04Speaker 1: on food stamps, twelve percent of thirteen percent of our population.
- 49:07Speaker 1: So it really is not good what Republicans did, But
- 49:11Speaker 1: at least they didn't even make it worse other than
- 49:13Speaker 1: the four percent increase into spending on the three pills
- 49:15Speaker 1: that were pa.
- 49:16Speaker 11: It was interesting when Senator Kane gleefully told everyone that
- 49:20Speaker 11: it was his part of the deal to get all
- 49:22Speaker 11: the federal workers rehired. You know, and I've been in
- 49:26Speaker 11: Russ Vote's position. I was a restaurant manager and had
- 49:29Speaker 11: I had fired a girl and I came in the
- 49:31Speaker 11: next morning and she was back at work and I
- 49:33Speaker 11: had been and I was told by my director that
- 49:36Speaker 11: I didn't have the authority to fire anyone. I mean,
- 49:39Speaker 11: and I walked out. I'm not one to walk out
- 49:41Speaker 11: of jobs, but I did walk out of that job because, well,
- 49:46Speaker 11: if I don't have the authority what I do. So
- 49:48Speaker 11: I'm not saying Russ Vote has to walk out, but
- 49:51Speaker 11: I mean, what good was the whole doze Kabuki theater?
- 49:56Speaker 6: Then?
- 49:56Speaker 11: If we were just going to give in and just
- 49:59Speaker 11: hire everyone to these positions.
- 50:02Speaker 1: Well, as I've said many times, it's always and only
- 50:05Speaker 1: about the money in Washington, and he who cares most loses,
- 50:09Speaker 1: who cares most about the shutdown loses. You've got to
- 50:12Speaker 1: care less than the other side does. I think Republicans
- 50:15Speaker 1: slightly had the advantage here where Democrats eventually came and
- 50:19Speaker 1: voted to reopen the government without anything except for status
- 50:22Speaker 1: quo if you wrote, which is what they had forty
- 50:24Speaker 1: three days ago. But Republicans could have held out and
- 50:28Speaker 1: not been willing to reopen the government with that condition,
- 50:31Speaker 1: with the condition that they had to retain all the
- 50:33Speaker 1: federal employees seven hundred and fifty twenty five percent of
- 50:37Speaker 1: the non military federal workforce, So seven and fifty thousand
- 50:41Speaker 1: other three million or so were declared not essential.
- 50:44Speaker 5: We're not working.
- 50:45Speaker 1: They were not the TSA folks and the national security
- 50:47Speaker 1: and national defense folks that were coming to work every day.
- 50:50Speaker 1: These were declared non essential. They could have fought to
- 50:53Speaker 1: reduce that workforce, not pay those folks they didn't have
- 50:57Speaker 1: and because they weren't working, and Republicans didn't weren't willing
- 51:01Speaker 1: to fight to do that, And so Tim Kaine and
- 51:03Speaker 1: the Democrats had won, if you want to call it
- 51:05Speaker 1: a win in that respect, by getting like that workforce
- 51:08Speaker 1: and attacting. It's a valid point to ask, well, what
- 51:10Speaker 1: was the point of dos and all that to identify
- 51:12Speaker 1: the people we need to cut if we're not going
- 51:14Speaker 1: to be willing to actually fight to cut them.
- 51:15Speaker 11: Well, when you look at Abigail Spanberger, almost the exact
- 51:19Speaker 11: number of federal employees, you know, increase Terry mccaulliff's vote total.
- 51:24Speaker 11: I guess that's the fear, is that if we don't,
- 51:26Speaker 11: you know, give them all their jobs back, Virginia's loss
- 51:29Speaker 11: to the midterms. It may be anyway with the redistrict thing.
- 51:33Speaker 11: Although I wrote a column that says, let's not count
- 51:36Speaker 11: our chickens yet, Bob. But as we now transition into
- 51:41Speaker 11: the congressional mid terms, who enters this race in a
- 51:45Speaker 11: better position. It looks like the Democrats.
- 51:49Speaker 1: If the Republicans don't give the voters a reason to
- 51:54Speaker 1: vote for them by doing what they said they would
- 51:56Speaker 1: do a year ago. If the Republicans cave, and even
- 52:00Speaker 1: though they haven't done it yet, I predict they will
- 52:02Speaker 1: that they're going to make a deal on the Obamacare subsidies.
- 52:05Speaker 1: The extensions. They're going to make a deal to extend
- 52:08Speaker 1: those subsidies that expired at the end of the year
- 52:10Speaker 1: because Republicans will operate out of fear intimidity looking into
- 52:14Speaker 1: the midterms, and I think that will backfire and hurt them.
- 52:17Speaker 1: They will be trying to, you know, survive the midterms
- 52:20Speaker 1: by caving, but instead they will hurt themselves if Republicans
- 52:22Speaker 1: don't shrink government, cut spending, deal with the affordability crisis
- 52:27Speaker 1: which is caused by this spending and the higher interest
- 52:29Speaker 1: rates and the inflation of the housing crisis. That if
- 52:32Speaker 1: they have stupid ideas like you know, two thousand dollars
- 52:35Speaker 1: stimulus chefs, which is what Biden did during COVID, and
- 52:38Speaker 1: stupid ideas like fifty year mortgages, fifteen year car loans,
- 52:42Speaker 1: those kind of things will make things worse. And they
- 52:45Speaker 1: don't give and they run next year on forty trillion
- 52:47Speaker 1: in debt and keeping two trillion dollar deficits. I think
- 52:50Speaker 1: Republicans will.
- 52:51Speaker 3: My name is Bobby.
