• 0:39
  Speaker 1: No fees.
• 0:43
  Speaker 9: I don't kick.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: That's right. But if you had the right districts, you
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: might have been able to so follow up to what
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: we were just talking about in the last segments. Taxation,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Oh we match.
• 1:00
  Speaker 10: On taxation is indep that in numb all my gist, gentlemen.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: We have to find something new to tax. And before
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: they go any further in the things that they might
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: want a tax. Of course, Nevada already taxes it. Follow
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: up on the story of rent in Florida, and the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: preceding and following is not brought to you by moved
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: to Florida dot org, but hamp down on the treasure coast,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: said sent me this effective October one, twenty twenty five.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: So Andy, last year, last October. It seems like so
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: long ago, doesn't it. October fifth of twenty twenty five?
• 1:44
  Speaker 9: What is that like?
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Ten years ago? So much happens. Thank you President Trump
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: for that. But effective October one, twenty twenty five, Florida
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: has repealed the state sales tax imposed on rent or
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: license fees for the use of property. No Florida state
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: sales tax or discretionary sales sir tax applies to rent
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: or license fees or rental occupancy periods beginning on or
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: after October one of twenty twenty five. Well, that's good news.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Yet more reasons why people say, Joe, why are you
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: still in Virginia? All these other talk show hosts moved
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: to Florida. You know what, I'm sitting here. I can
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: look at the place where Thomas Jefferson lived. I can
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: go sit in the office where James Madison wrote the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: original draft of the US Constitution. In like an hour's drive,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I can be in all of these places. Who wouldn't
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: want to be here? And it's the most important. I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's the water or the organics of
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: this area, but it just seemed to be where you know,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the freethinkers were, and in a world where I'd like
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to think of myself as a free thinker, where else
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: would you be? I get it, though, I mean fiscally,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a lot of people who'd say, jed,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: move away from there. They said, what did they say
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: in the Beverly Hill Billies And a phrase never uttered again?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: They said, California is the place you ought to be.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: But I appreciate the update on Florida and its taxation
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: fixation there, And there's got to be a way for
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: any place to make the money necessary. Me I am
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: an advocate of send me a bill, send me an invoice.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I get invoices all the time, owning a radio station
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and owning this show on this network. I get invoices
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: for stuff all the time. We're just doing a huge
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: process of moving our AM station from one tower to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the other. I've got invoices of all these parts of
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: watchers and buckles and all sorts of fanciful things that antennas,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and so just tell me what it is you've done
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and what I owe you for it. That's all. That's
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: how we should be doing taxation in the nation there.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: But our first things on this Tuesday morning, it's the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: night of the night that the Constitution the president shall
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: from time to time, and this is the time delivered
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to Congress a message upon the state of the Union
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that will also be a rebuttal speech given afterwards by
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger. At the insistence of what I'm
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: told is former President Barack Obama, who will give her
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: centrist views on the President's address that will be tonight
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: at nine. The US women's hockey team will not be there.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: In contrary throw the way the headline writers make it sound,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: they did not snub President Trump. They said, we are
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: sincerely grateful for the invitation, quoting from their statement. Due
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to timing and scheduled academic and professional commitments, the athletes
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: are unable to participate. Doesn't sound like a snub to me,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: but anyway. Today is the beginning of the fourth fifth
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: year of Russia's invasion into Ukraine. It began on February
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: twenty fourth, twenty twenty two, and since then, by the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: numbers from UN watchers, one point eight million dollar million
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: soldiers killed wounded or missing on both sides fourteen point
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: nine nine nine thousand. Can we just say fifteen thousand
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: or do the UN human rights people want to say
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: it's under fifteen thousand civilians in Ukraine killed and nineteen
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: point four percent of Ukrainian land now occupied by Russia.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Students in Tehran and Mashah, the two largest cities in Iran,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: have continued on campus protests against the Mullahs and the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Islamist regime ruling the country, and are vowing more today. Meanwhile,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the toll varies depending on who you ask regarding arrests
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and fatalities in these riots, but tens of thousands so far.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma says that he expects
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that Congress will get back to debating how to fund
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security quote once the State of
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the Union is over. And apparently Jeffrey Epstein bought a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: bunch of storage facilities, or at least rented them across
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the country to hide his hard drives and his photograph collections.
• 6:51

  Speaker 14: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.

• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Amaze your friends here in first thing today by Joe Thomas.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you for letting me be of service to you.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: And we were talking about this jerry mandering all the
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: all the different states and that are trying uh. And
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: we've got court battles in Florida over Ron de Santis
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: and whether he has the authority to call a special session.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: And I find irony in that because he called a
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: special session and they say he doesn't have the authority to.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: But the Virginia General Assembly called a special session that
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: had that that was in suspension. I guess it had
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: never been closed out by the clerks, never gabbled out,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and it had been called to deal with budget amendments,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: specifically spending plans and how you were going to get
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the tax money and everything else, and they were unable
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: to resolve it, so that the session was still technically
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: going on. Nothing was happening, but it was going on.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: So they came out in December and said, hey, we're
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: convening that session. We're going to open that session up again,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: but we're not going to discuss the budget at all.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: We're going to discuss redistricting. So, I mean, just the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: way they have been doing this almost interpretive dance when
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: it comes to legal protections of citizens' rights to vote,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. And one of the loudest voices in this
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: whole battle about the craziness of redistricting is Virginia Senator
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Bryce Reeves, who has actually had him removed from at
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: least one committee in the General Assembly over his actions. Bryce,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Good morning, sir, How are you?
• 14:52
  Speaker 9: Good morning? Joe Thomas in the morning, How are you,
• 14:54
  Speaker 9: my friend?
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I'm always good, But I mean it's I'm shaking with
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the authoritarian that's on the march here. So because you
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: spoke out against the governor, shocked shocked somebody might be
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: or brought up something like her statements ten five years
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: ago against jerrymandering. Now you've lost committee assignments.
• 15:18
  Speaker 9: You got it.
• 15:20
  Speaker 20: She needs that narcissistic nutriment. And the problem is, you know,
• 15:24
  Speaker 20: people are surprised that she is what she is. You know,
• 15:28
  Speaker 20: I made a snippet quote for the New York Times
• 15:32
  Speaker 20: article she was not happy with, and I said, the
• 15:34
  Speaker 20: only difference between her and Mondamie is that Mondamie at
• 15:38
  Speaker 20: least has the strength admit that.
• 15:40
  Speaker 9: He's a socialist. And here's the thing.
• 15:42
  Speaker 20: She's been a CIA operative apparently in the field. She
• 15:45
  Speaker 20: talks about that in the article. And what's the job
• 15:47
  Speaker 20: of a CIA operative to gain.
• 15:49
  Speaker 9: Your confidence and trust and use that trust for your
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: own gain. And that's what she's done.
• 15:57
  Speaker 20: And I think she thought she had that with me,
• 16:00
  Speaker 20: and I just call her on the carpet.
• 16:02
  Speaker 9: I'm calling balls and strikes.
• 16:04
  Speaker 20: I said, she did a great job on her appointments
• 16:06
  Speaker 20: with regard to the adjuct in General and to the
• 16:09
  Speaker 20: Secretary of Veterans Defense Affairs, putting those in.
• 16:12
  Speaker 9: But I'm also going to call her out within.
• 16:13
  Speaker 20: Two hours of striking two eighty seven G and allowing
• 16:17
  Speaker 20: our law enforcement to work with their bederal partners to
• 16:19
  Speaker 20: enforce the law.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: And as we.
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: Continue to go on, she said it on ABC News.
• 16:25
  Speaker 20: She said it in the first lit sued I'm not
• 16:27
  Speaker 20: going to have her do this. Jerry Mannering's bat for Virginia.
• 16:30
  Speaker 9: And what does she do She signs the bills. So
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: she's a hypocrite.
• 16:33
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 16:34
  Speaker 20: So, because I've been so outspoken that she called down
• 16:38
  Speaker 20: to the Senate, and because we had a new member,
• 16:40
  Speaker 20: they had the opportunity to put people back on committees.
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: Really that news centers should have just taken over where
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: having left off, but instead they.
• 16:50
  Speaker 20: Stripped me of a very powerful committee on commercial labor
• 16:52
  Speaker 20: and put me over in local government to try to
• 16:54
  Speaker 20: neuter me, and I got I'm going to tell you
• 16:57
  Speaker 20: right now, and if the governor's listening, I'm not going
• 16:59
  Speaker 20: to shut up.
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: I'm not going to.
• 17:00
  Speaker 20: Stop talking and calling the truth out. You are what
• 17:04
  Speaker 20: you are, and I'm going to call you out every
• 17:06
  Speaker 20: time I can, because that's the job of the minorities
• 17:09
  Speaker 20: to hold the majority party accountable. And if you look
• 17:12
  Speaker 20: at what they're doing, there's two judges now, two judges
• 17:16
  Speaker 20: show have issued conjunctions to tell them to stop my
• 17:20
  Speaker 20: question to the greater audience, and I can't seem to
• 17:22
  Speaker 20: get an answer from my colleagues that are constitutional lawyers
• 17:26
  Speaker 20: is and.
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: This applies to both sides.
• 17:28
  Speaker 20: So people who say Trump's gone way over uh, and
• 17:31
  Speaker 20: they need to get somebody engaged.
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: Who does that?
• 17:34
  Speaker 20: If if let's say Trump has complied with all the
• 17:38
  Speaker 20: legal terms that he's been given so far, but the
• 17:42
  Speaker 20: Democrats haven't, But who enforces that?
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: I would love to know from maybe some of your
• 17:47
  Speaker 9: folks that are listeners, who actually comes in and enforces
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: the law from a judge.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Well, this is the thing that I think you've touched
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: on a sore spot with my listeners for decades now, Bryce,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: is that we catch some but he committing voter fraud
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: or tax fraud or something, And it doesn't seem like
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: there's any punishment for an elected official that's caught doing it.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: They might get sanctioned all and I apologize and they
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: just keep going on along singing the song. One of
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the biggest, you know, political frauds in the twenty first
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: century was the Hillary Gate, the John Podesta emails about
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: screwing Bernie Sanders at Debbie Wasserman Schultz is still in Congress.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: She didn't fare, I mean, she lost the job of
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: chair of the DNC, But I don't know how much
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: money that made her. But she's still there writing policy,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: writing law and obscuring people's rights. You mentioned the Trump
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: effect and calling pauls and strikes. So Rono College just
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: put out a poll bryce and they asked their participants
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: if they supported Virginia's constitution and the way we set
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: up our political districts, and sixty two percent said yes,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: which tracks because when you know, four years ago, when
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Virginians voted for it, sixty five percent said yes. However,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: when they're asked if there was a vote about it
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: this year, how would you vote, the number goes down
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: to fifty two percent. And I think that's the never
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: ending Trump bashing that comes through the media, is like, oh, well,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: if it's to get Trump, I'm fine with tearing up
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the Virginia Constitution. But then who's next. If it's okay
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: to tear up the constitution for COVID nineteen and it's
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: okay to tear up the constitution because of Trump, what's
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the next thing? And then why even bother having a constitution?
• 19:44
  Speaker 20: Well, Joe, I couldn't agree more. I mean, I know
• 19:47
  Speaker 20: this is inside baseball, but Senator Stanley stood up in
• 19:52
  Speaker 20: our caucus the other day to rally some of my
• 19:54
  Speaker 20: colleagues about, Look, this is like, this is like somebody
• 19:57
  Speaker 20: taking over a bank, robbing it and saying they're going
• 20:00
  Speaker 20: to start shooting hostages.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: And I was the first hostage shot.
• 20:04
  Speaker 20: Right, If the governor can come down and start stripping
• 20:07
  Speaker 20: senators of their committees to try to silence their vote,
• 20:10
  Speaker 20: what's next?
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Are we going to let this happen?
• 20:13
  Speaker 20: And so, you know, we're in a just a strange
• 20:17
  Speaker 20: world now. But my you know, we have two independent
• 20:22
  Speaker 20: judges who have come down with rulings of law the
• 20:26
  Speaker 20: Supreme Court and their weakness decided, oh, we're not going
• 20:30
  Speaker 20: to take it up, which that's their derelict of doing
• 20:33
  Speaker 20: their job. That's their job is to rule on matters
• 20:36
  Speaker 20: of law. And so now we have another judges come
• 20:41
  Speaker 20: through the legal process where people have had, you know,
• 20:43
  Speaker 20: attorneys from both sides got to argue the bills or
• 20:46
  Speaker 20: argue the matter before them and everything else, and they're
• 20:51
  Speaker 20: just snubbing their nose at it. And I just want
• 20:53
  Speaker 20: to know who comes down and enforces this stuff.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: So there's a stay if you will. I don't know
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: all the legal parlance, but there's a right now, a
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: hold on any voting until you know, after the Supreme
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Court rules. A judge has ruled that the voting cannot
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: begin on March sixth. Are you saying that there are
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: there are clerks of election officials who are going to
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: set up polling places on March six and start taking votes.
• 21:23
  Speaker 20: Anyway, My assumption and what I've heard is yes, there
• 21:27
  Speaker 20: will be some doing that.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 21:30
  Speaker 20: And my my thing is if they go ahead and
• 21:33
  Speaker 20: do that, are they going to be able to be
• 21:35
  Speaker 20: charged criminally for violating a judge's order? And I think
• 21:39
  Speaker 20: they should, and I think those commonwealth attorneys in those
• 21:42
  Speaker 20: districts should prosecute those registrars if they do it.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Well, you know that the state police are are under
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: a new under new ownership there, so I know there
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: would be officers who would want to do it, But
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: would they be given the order to with the Attorney General?
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Certainly he's busy planning political and violent.
• 22:00
  Speaker 22: Retroy Brandt And her name is Shary I love. She's
• 22:04
  Speaker 22: a friend of mine whom we were just praying for
• 22:07
  Speaker 22: because of a surgery. She just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 23: Yes, And I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:12
  Speaker 23: talk about all the time, which is meda Share.
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 22: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
• 22:17
  Speaker 22: and healthcare ability?
• 22:18
  Speaker 23: Honestly, brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
• 22:21
  Speaker 23: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
• 22:24
  Speaker 23: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 23: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
• 22:31
  Speaker 23: call in with your need that.
• 22:32
  Speaker 22: Is just refreshing.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: What I keep telling people.
• 22:36
  Speaker 22: People love meda share and they love saving money. The
• 22:39
  Speaker 22: typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 23: I am very thankful for Meta Share. It is so different,
• 22:46
  Speaker 23: and I mean different in a very very good way.
• 22:48
  Speaker 22: It is good different call now. They're easy to talk
• 22:51
  Speaker 22: to and you can get a price within two minutes.
• 22:53
  Speaker 22: Call eight five five share forty. That's eight five five
• 22:56

• 28:41
  Speaker 1: How are you, sir?
• 28:42
  Speaker 10: Uh?
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: You know Pete Gillen used to talk about his team.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: He goes, uh, man, I've got a lot of great shooters.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: What I needed are great makers.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: How was Pete doing? I haven't seen it. We used
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: to raise a ton of money for the UH Salvation Army.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Thinking about that the other day, and I got to
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: reach out, you.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Know, and you so many people more than leave it
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: to beaver Reround.
• 29:04
  Speaker 27: He was.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: He was on CBS for a year. March Madness meant
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Pete Gillen was coming on TV. And they would always
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: give Pete the games that needed a little entertainment factor,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Like it was that he always did the one sixteen games,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Like all right, Pete, you know you gotta liven it
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: up when it's forty points.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: But he uh got his story. Nobody could.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: Nobody could tell a story or weave a weave a
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: story better than he got. Well, I'm gonna I'm playing
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: catch up, So I'm getting rid of some things in
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: my notebook I had from Sunday because I was loading
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: it up the Tony Bennett tribute last Saturday. I did
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: want it to go unnoticed because I know from a
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: local point of view in the state of Virginia and
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: the Cavalier fans, it meant a lot. Fifteen seasons, the
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: twenty nineteen National title couple a SEC tournament titled six
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: regular Season Trophies YadA, YadA YadA, nine times honored as
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: coach of the Year. He retired at the age of
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: fifty five, and that was eighteen days before the opening
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: tip off in twenty twenty four. At that time, it
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: certainly the program back. But Ryan Odum, of course, just
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: you know, he went around the world and put a
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: roster together that is now right on the brink of well,
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: a top three finish in the ACC and a top
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: four seed in the NCAA tournament.
• 30:15
  Speaker 28: Well.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: On Saturday, UVA dedicated the JPJ floor to Tony.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: Tony said, at the time, you know, he was no
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: longer equipped to coach modern college basketball. In twenty twenty four,
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: he was hoping the new aspects of the college game
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: would be better regulated and then maybe, just maybe he
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: would return. But that's so far in the future. It's
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: not going to happen. But of course, in Tony's way
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: in the speech, and I didn't grab the whole speech,
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: but in Tony's way, nobody can. And we're talking about
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: weaving a lyric. Nobody can talk like Tony Bennett to
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: a crowd.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: My heart is full, man.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I am overwhelmed by this.
• 30:53
  Speaker 29: My goal always was to honor the Lord as a coach,
• 30:56
  Speaker 29: and I pray that this program and how we did
• 31:00
  Speaker 29: it was a bright light to all of you. I'm
• 31:02
  Speaker 29: so thankful this. I feel like this is more than
• 31:05
  Speaker 29: I deserve. But we're all in this together. It's about us,
• 31:09
  Speaker 29: never about me. Thank you, guys. I appreciate everyone. Go
• 31:13
  Speaker 29: get them fell us. Go Who's blessings?
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, blessings. I mean nobody, I said.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: And Tony will probably be watching tonight from home in
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: the home fire since it's a little cold in Virginia.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: I understand that, but it'll be NC State. It's ten
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: and Ford. Let's not sleep on the wolf found. I'm
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: not a Will Wade fan, but right now you know
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: the who's got their work cut out for him because
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: Duke is sitting there on the horizon.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: The other story from Sunny, of course, was the Jack
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: Hughes toothless goal in overtime that the Game of America,
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: the win. There was so much comparison to the nineteen
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: eighty team, which really wasn't fair. Yeah, it was a
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: big win. They hadn't had a win in forty six years,
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: and I get that, but you really can't compare what
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: happened in nineteen eighty when it was a Soviet Union
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: team that just beat than the United States ten nothing
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: in Madison Square Garden, just days before they headed to
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: Lake Placid. Right, well, it was Connor Helbuck that really.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: He stopped forty one or forty two shots. He was
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: as good as it gets. And I don't want to
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: overlook the fact that he probably was more deserving of
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: the attention. But he's a low key guy, right, a
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: Michigan guy from Commerce Township, Michigan. He was the one
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: hundred and thirtieth pick in twenty twelve. He played for
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: UMass Lowell River Hawks. He moved to the Saint John's
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: Ice Caps, and then in twenty sixteen he finally got
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: the start for Winnipeg. And somebody wrote it on Sunday
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: that they called him the secretary of Defense. Okay, well
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: that's a pretty good one, but we saw that coming.
• 32:44
  Speaker 27: Now.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: Helbuck and his wife Andrea, they have two kids. Joseph
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: is four, a two year old daughter as well, and
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: Joseph is running around the house already learning the art
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: putting on a helmet, and Connor, I mean Connor is
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: watching his son Joseph play goalie already downstairs in their house.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Listen to this sound bite.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: I don't love the idea of becoming a goaltender.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: It's a tough business.
• 33:11
  Speaker 20: Yeah, guys are shooting harder and harder and fucking hurts sometimes.
• 33:17
  Speaker 29: But obviously, if he.
• 33:18
  Speaker 30: Would want to become a goaltender, I want him to
• 33:20
  Speaker 30: do whatever he wants to do.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: And obviously know a lot about it, so I would
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: definitely help him. But at the end of the day,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I just want him to do whatever he finds passion
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: for him.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: You know, he he's not gonna stop it. However, son,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: you have to be a goalie, you know. Anyway.
• 33:38

  Speaker 4: The cold weather that she needed a snort or two

• 36:44
  Speaker 1: said this is this is his weekly order. And it
• 36:47

• 36:57
  Speaker 1: of Bailey's, which obviously was to cream his coffee in

• 38:06
  Speaker 1: believe that no one should ever pay one penny more
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately, for most
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: hard working Americans, this just isn't the case. Why because
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway than
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: trying to ensure they're going to pay less than taxes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: My Financial Fitness team has put together some materials that
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: I know are going to help you. It's the Tax
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: top ten ways to pay less than taxes, and an
• 38:38

  Speaker 8: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas. Yes,
• 39:09
  Speaker 8: actually three known gases. I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric oxide
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: is a gas that's readily made all day long to
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
• 39:28
  Speaker 8: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 39:40
  Speaker 8: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 39:42
  Speaker 8: your hands and feet. Well, our product, ultimate nitric Oxide,

• 44:23
  Speaker 1: So I was before we leave the Olympiad. There's a
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: one story and I wanted to get it in before
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: we were done a kate uh kfka up and Ford
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Collins so uh and I saw this and I just
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: I thought this was a neat sidebar. By the way,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: uh this text message, uh, Joel writes in Pete Gillen
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: was a great basketball coach at Xavier, where my dad
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: to for years before he became nationally famous. Pete's Pete
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: is an entertainer. We were talking about Phil Rizzuto, the
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: old former Yankee shortstop. And I think most people would say,
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: you mean the guy from the meat love song, Holy Cow.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: I think he's gonna make it, and I think it's
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: it was. I think he actually sued meat Loaf after
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: he heard what Paradise by the Dashboard Light came out
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: because he just read a script and it was play
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: by play of Paradise by the Dashboard Light.
• 45:38
  Speaker 9: There.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: But and Pete Gillen, though, is a terrific, you know,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: just entertaining guy. Just strap in, grab a rope and
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: hang on till the bell rings if you're having a
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: conversation with Pete Gillen, the basketball coach there. But this
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: story out of the Olympiad, because hockey has got everyone's attention,
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: Americans win gold medals and all of a sudden we're
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: all big hockey fans again, which is, you know good.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: I think the sport has its place. My uncle played
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: hockey for years out on the Mayennas River for the
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: folks listening on WGH and Greenwich. The Miennas River used
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: to freeze enough that they would play hockey in a
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: league on the Mianas River in Greenwich. Can you imagine.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know do they still allow that. I know
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: that Dorothy hamil Pond in Old Greenwich it has been
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: has had skating prohibited ironically four years because everything's got
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: to go to the municipal rink now where insurance will cover,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: and blah blah blah blah blah. I know, it's just
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: it's a debasement of society. But nobody wants to pay
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: if there's an injury, so somebody's got to be made
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: to pay. But hockey is one of those games where
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: you just keep seeing the same names over and over again.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: You know, Patrick Patrick is one of those names. There's
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: always somebody named Patrick in the front office of at
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: least a half a dozen hockey teams, and if you look,
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: they're all related to the you know, the original Patrick
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: and all these you know, Campbell and smythe and these
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: family names, and I thought this was just an interesting
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: bit of I don't know if it's trivia Amazer friends.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Probably in Fort Collins. You already know about brock Nelson
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: place for the Avalanche. Used to play for my childhood team,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: the Islanders, and the Minneapolis Native. It's thirty four. Its
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: not like he's a rookie, but playing center for the Avalanche.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Coming back to it, his family has been on the
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: only three Olympic gold medal hockey teams. His grandfather and
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: his great uncle were on the nineteen sixty gold medal
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: winning high hockey team, his father was on the Miracle
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: on Ice nineteen eighty team, and now he just won
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: gold in Milan. I mean, that's just one of those
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: kind of things that's like, I know how families do hockey.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: And Mac was talking about the kid that wants to
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: be a goalie because he's you know, two, and you
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: know things it's cool or whatever, and that's bless him
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: for it. I just, you know, families in hockey, that's
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: what they do. I remember living in Buffalo and we
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: would drive along and I would go to parties at
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: people's houses, and their entire backyard was a skating rink,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: and they would put the hard plastic you know that
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: hard plastic boundary stuff that you can get at Low's,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: and they would hammer it into the edges of their
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: backyard and literally flood the backyard with water until it
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: all froze over. And if it snowed early enough in
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: the area, you'd pack that down then you didn't have
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: to start it off with your own hose, and they
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: would keep up a skating rink in their backyard. So,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, kids, this is why Minnesota. I guess this kid,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: this kid Nelson, grew up in Minneapolis. That's why all
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: these places in Canada is obviously a hotbed of it,
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: which is why there were such good sports at the
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: end of the hockey game. I mean, it looked like
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: the Canadian hockey team and the Canadian curling team were
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: all having the same snit. Donald Trump wasn't there. This
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: was in Italy. This wasn't Donald Trump beating Mark Carney
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: for the Olympic gold. It wasn't a shootout between Mark
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Karney and Donald Trump. You know, most of you guys
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: are going to wind up playing on the same team
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: back in the in the you know NHL. So don't
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: get all bent out of shape and don't be bad
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: sports when you know when the game is over, you
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: know is your favorite president.
• 50:16
  Speaker 32: And I just wanted to congratulate team USA Hockey on
• 50:21
  Speaker 32: the gold medal victory over Canada or as I like
• 50:24
  Speaker 32: to call them, Snow Mexico. But I got off the
• 50:27
  Speaker 32: phone with Prime Minister Carney and she's very upset about it.
• 50:32
  Speaker 32: She's not happy about it, but she'll get over it.
• 50:35
  Speaker 32: I told the quiet Piggy, shut the Kachuck up and
• 50:38
  Speaker 32: be quiet because the winners are here. You look at
• 50:41
  Speaker 32: the Kachuck brothers. They did a fantastic job.
• 50:44
  Speaker 27: You know.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Sean Farrish and his famous Trump impressions. Now Sean Farrish.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: If you find it was follow him on YouTube at
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: Sean Underscore Parish. It's Sean with an H and a
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: W and thenar versus faar as H doesn't look a
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: darned thing like Donald Trump. This is where we need
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: AI to animate, you know, get a good animation of
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump that Sean can voice, because Sean doesn't look
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: anything like Donald Trump. He's you know, done the impression
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: long enough, he's starting to a little bit. Uh, but
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: for the most part does not look anything like him,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: but sounds so good in this and no, I have
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: it on good authority. He is not the one that
• 51:28
