- 0:08Speaker 2: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
- 0:13Speaker 2: the second most famous Thomas and Charlottesville jewort.
- 0:17Speaker 3: Said, steal me stem. You have a day at least
- 0:22Speaker 3: for work. When the sun comes up, drops a pet
- 0:24Speaker 3: of the school. Joe is a end all the treasure
- 0:30Speaker 3: needs the one that Joe zais.
- 0:33Speaker 4: Smile.
- 0:34Speaker 5: He only as pleas lever be.
- 0:39Speaker 6: Joe, God bless you for letting me be of service.
- 0:45Speaker 6: And as far as I can tell, I am your
- 0:47Speaker 6: Joe at least for a little bit each weekday morning
- 0:50Speaker 6: and Saturdays as well. Saturday is a day in the
- 0:52Speaker 6: week as well. Emails come into JT in the morning
- 0:56Speaker 6: radio at gmail dot com Mark Wrights in. So I
- 1:00Speaker 6: can't really tell from your story, Joe, are you a
- 1:03Speaker 6: Hunter S. Thompson fan or not. I don't know if
- 1:08Speaker 6: it's you know, app one way or the other. But
- 1:11Speaker 6: the answer is no. And here's why. It's not that
- 1:14Speaker 6: Hunter S. Thompson's prose or anything like that. Is he's
- 1:19Speaker 6: a little bit like a journalistic rapper. All of his
- 1:22Speaker 6: songs are about him, but beyond that, he takes the
- 1:31Speaker 6: the thing that journalists traffic in which is we go
- 1:35Speaker 6: to where the story is and then we tell you
- 1:38Speaker 6: what we saw and perverts it or perverted it by
- 1:44Speaker 6: just making up stuff out of hold cloth, seeing let
- 1:47Speaker 6: me see what I can mess with next. So, you know,
- 1:52Speaker 6: he would say, here, I am on the campaign trail
- 1:54Speaker 6: with Edwin Muskie, and I think he's taking ib again.
- 1:58Speaker 6: He's addicted to it. You're like, oh my god, because
- 2:02Speaker 6: he's there and there's a there is a warranty associated
- 2:07Speaker 6: with that association that says, well, if you're there, you
- 2:11Speaker 6: must know. And he was just making it up out
- 2:14Speaker 6: of whole cloth. And I just find that to be
- 2:16Speaker 6: a great offense to the industry. Not that journalism is
- 2:19Speaker 6: one of those high callings at all, but you know
- 2:23Speaker 6: it is. It is, you know, a perversion of what
- 2:26Speaker 6: we do. Andy's on the line before we get our
- 2:28Speaker 6: first things out here, he's been patiently waiting to share
- 2:31Speaker 6: a thought. Well, this good morning, Andy, what's going on?
- 2:34Speaker 7: Hey, I've just you figgered me with that that Rolling
- 2:37Speaker 7: Stone story.
- 2:40Speaker 6: Oh rayp on campus.
- 2:41Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I was having breakfast with the first Lady,
- 2:46Speaker 7: the former first Lady of the University of Virginia, and
- 2:50Speaker 7: she was saying that happens all the time. After I
- 2:54Speaker 7: had commented, I said, there's no way that happens, and
- 2:58Speaker 7: she's like, of course it does. And you know, it
- 3:01Speaker 7: was like one of these interesting moments when you know,
- 3:05Speaker 7: I believe this story to not be true because somebody
- 3:10Speaker 7: had made up a story about getting raped on campus,
- 3:14Speaker 7: and probably a couple of years later, I actually reached
- 3:17Speaker 7: out to you to find out how to report the
- 3:22Speaker 7: sexual assault that was at the same residence there and
- 3:28Speaker 7: took them a long time. Bet you know, I didn't
- 3:30Speaker 7: even never.
- 3:31Speaker 6: Followed up on it.
- 3:32Speaker 7: The university might have, but there were twenty two people
- 3:36Speaker 7: or twenty three people that actually put signatures on a
- 3:41Speaker 7: document that was following up on Robert Tracy's trying to
- 3:47Speaker 7: make sure that if somebody is raped, whether it be
- 3:52Speaker 7: on the university campus, that they would know how to
- 3:56Speaker 7: handle the rapes better.
- 3:59Speaker 6: Well, and you raise it, Goby, and I'm pressed for
- 4:02Speaker 6: time here, Andy, and you've opened up, you know, and
- 4:04Speaker 6: it will have to probably revisit this on the other side.
- 4:07Speaker 6: But this is a Title nine story. And remember what
- 4:11Speaker 6: came out of this was a realization that most people
- 4:15Speaker 6: thought Title nine only was about making sure there were
- 4:17Speaker 6: female sports teams. But what Title nine also insists is,
- 4:21Speaker 6: rather than Robert Tracy, the man you mentioned who was
- 4:24Speaker 6: the Commonwealth's attorney sworn and elected by the voters of
- 4:28Speaker 6: the area to be the district attorney as most people
- 4:31Speaker 6: would call them, the university was tasked with doing their
- 4:36Speaker 6: own investigation into these allegations. Because that's what Title nine insists,
- 4:41Speaker 6: that all this stuff has to be handled in house.
- 4:45Speaker 6: And most college campuses don't have big police departments or
- 4:49Speaker 6: anything like that. So these kind of allegations Virginia, they
- 4:54Speaker 6: actually but not at the time. You've got to go
- 4:58Speaker 6: back in time. Was it seven eight years when that
- 5:00Speaker 6: story came out. I've got to run, Andy, But I
- 5:03Speaker 6: will get to that in a moment. Thank you, sir
- 5:05Speaker 6: for your story. And it is, but it is in
- 5:08Speaker 6: this discussion of Title nine. It's one of those forgotten
- 5:14Speaker 6: subtexts of it. Christine Nome, Homeland Security Secretary, said Monday
- 5:19Speaker 6: that federal of authorities have so far arrested more than
- 5:22Speaker 6: ten thousand criminal illegal aliens in Minneapolis. She added that
- 5:27Speaker 6: investigators have opened what she described as sweeping fraud probes
- 5:31Speaker 6: into fraud totaling nineteen billion dollars related to the immigration situation.
- 5:41Speaker 6: Treasury Secretary Scott bessen is in Davos telling European leaders
- 5:45Speaker 6: to quote take a deep breath and let the administration's
- 5:52Speaker 6: negotiations with Denmark and Greenland quote play out. I think
- 5:56Speaker 6: our relations have never been closer. Speaking about the European leaders,
- 6:02Speaker 6: federal judge refused on Monday to block the administration from
- 6:07Speaker 6: enforcing a new policy requiring a week's notice before members
- 6:11Speaker 6: of Congress can visit immigration detention facilities. President Trump is
- 6:16Speaker 6: on his way to Davos himself to join Secretary Bessant there.
- 6:21Speaker 6: Once he's there, he's going to make an announcement on
- 6:24Speaker 6: Wednesday about capital gains abatements in order to make housing
- 6:29Speaker 6: more affordable in well, all right, nobody else is supposed
- 6:32Speaker 6: to know that between you and me, because I know
- 6:34Speaker 6: the congressman that wrote the bill. Indiana is the national

- 10:08Speaker 1: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.

- 10:27Speaker 1: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

- 13:16Speaker 2: independence from Virginia again. First Thing Today by Joe Thomas
- 13:21Speaker 2: on the Tonk Media Network.
- 13:26Speaker 8: Nine number nine.
- 13:31Speaker 6: Title nine, and you know, if nothing else out of
- 13:35Speaker 6: this Hunter S. Thompson Award winning piece of fiction that
- 13:41Speaker 6: was published under the banner of Rolling Stone Magazine, which
- 13:46Speaker 6: ostensibly cost the magazine its existence after the accused sued
- 13:54Speaker 6: for this defamation. One of the things is it exposed
- 14:01Speaker 6: was what title nine actually does. So Yeah, it guarantees
- 14:07Speaker 6: that if a university spends a dollar on a football team,
- 14:10Speaker 6: there has to be a women's sports team that they
- 14:13Speaker 6: spend an equal dollar on that way, there's an equal
- 14:18Speaker 6: amount of women's sports. Great, but it also then takes
- 14:23Speaker 6: local police authority out of the hands of professional elected
- 14:31Speaker 6: constitutional officers like sheriffs and district attorneys or commonwealth attorneys
- 14:37Speaker 6: here in Virginia, as was the case, and puts it
- 14:40Speaker 6: in the hands of university bureaucrats, often times professors who
- 14:49Speaker 6: have been reassigned to the job of looking after the
- 14:52Speaker 6: Title nine requirements boards that have been populated with high
- 14:58Speaker 6: ranking university officials the vote on things. And what's been
- 15:04Speaker 6: discovered too frequently is that cya is more frequently what
- 15:10Speaker 6: they're looking at than justice, and so the universities have
- 15:15Speaker 6: since then struggled to in many cases come up with
- 15:19Speaker 6: a full police department run by professional police officers and
- 15:25Speaker 6: investigators so that they can they comply. They can comply
- 15:31Speaker 6: with Title nine requirements, which are that that internally they
- 15:35Speaker 6: have to investigate these allegations of student misconduct. They can't
- 15:40Speaker 6: call in the local share for the local district attorney.
- 15:45Speaker 6: Didn't know that, did you? But yeah, this was one
- 15:49Speaker 6: of those things, and that Hunter S. Thompson esque story
- 15:51Speaker 6: a rape on campus brought that to light. Oh maybe
- 15:56Speaker 6: there's some good came out of you know, the modern
- 15:58Speaker 6: version of Ibigain, which again and I think we're living
- 16:01Speaker 6: through the Denmark whoop de do. Mike's on the line
- 16:04Speaker 6: here at four three four eight eight two four two
- 16:07Speaker 6: one seven. Good morning, Mike. What's going on?
- 16:11Speaker 11: Well, I was looking to a moon the world instead
- 16:14Speaker 11: of come from my urs, but I was I was
- 16:20Speaker 11: thinking Dolly Perch and turned to eighty. I think about
- 16:25Speaker 11: sixty years ago she sung Gassan that said, just because
- 16:29Speaker 11: I'm blonde, you think I'm done? Well, this dumb blonde
- 16:34Speaker 11: that is no one full.
- 16:36Speaker 6: Yep right, um uh.
- 16:42Speaker 11: There's a science fiction and fantasy writers, and some of
- 16:45Speaker 11: them mattery make it big. But then you've got reporters
- 16:49Speaker 11: that are doing the same thing, creating worlds out of imagination,
- 16:54Speaker 11: a whole clop person there.
- 16:57Speaker 6: Yes, yes, they well, and to be fair, I think
- 17:00Speaker 6: they look at people like J. R. R. Tolkien or
- 17:03Speaker 6: Robert Heinland and think, gosh, couldn't I be a writer
- 17:07Speaker 6: like that. Nobody just wants to tell somebody what happened.
- 17:10Speaker 6: I want to create a whole world. I want to
- 17:12Speaker 6: create Middle Earth and then I can cover it for you.
- 17:17Speaker 11: You remember, well, what in marketing what sells?
- 17:25Speaker 6: What is sales or okay, well what sells? Okay?
- 17:30Speaker 11: What tribe cells? Number one is that number two is
- 17:35Speaker 11: a bons You get a game like Grand Safato from
- 17:40Speaker 11: A versions three onwards. And you can see why is
- 17:44Speaker 11: rock Start is rated one of the number one game
- 17:48Speaker 11: publishers in the world. So why not is that in
- 17:55Speaker 11: selling your journalism you can't. You have Bill Clinch and
- 18:01Speaker 11: he couldn't keep his Willem zip and so the blue
- 18:05Speaker 11: Dress sewed stories.
- 18:08Speaker 6: Sure, oh sure, I mean sex and violence and violency,
- 18:12Speaker 6: sex and all of that is you know, big news.
- 18:16Speaker 6: I mean it drives the clicks because you know, part
- 18:19Speaker 6: of it is our own schadenfreud Mike, because we build
- 18:24Speaker 6: people up. There's a wonderful scene. It's not a it's
- 18:27Speaker 6: an interesting movie, but I won't call it a great movie.
- 18:31Speaker 6: It's called Air and It and it's about how Nike
- 18:35Speaker 6: signed Michael Jordan to shoe contract. But the regardless, there's
- 18:39Speaker 6: a scene in it in which Matt Damon as the
- 18:43Speaker 6: guy who kind of convinces Mike to sign with Nike.
- 18:48Speaker 6: There's this wonderful monologue on how we build people up
- 18:53Speaker 6: just to tear them down again. And it's true. It
- 18:56Speaker 6: was what we do is we we build heroes and
- 18:59Speaker 6: then cheer when their clay heels are exposed. And I
- 19:05Speaker 6: think there's some of that that drives this as well.
- 19:08Speaker 6: We all want heroes and we all want to find
- 19:10Speaker 6: out when they've cheated us.
- 19:14Speaker 11: Yeah. So, uh no, just my cute sense. Oh uh,
- 19:20Speaker 11: something that I saw a week ago, the Department of
- 19:25Speaker 11: Justice in Justice Justice Mote, Department of Sunking or another
- 19:30Speaker 11: or uh executed the raid on the Washington Post home
- 19:35Speaker 11: and confiscated. Uh I I've got missed dependence of that.
- 19:43Speaker 19: But uh.
- 19:44Speaker 11: One thing that comes to mind is I don't care
- 19:48Speaker 11: if you're a reporter, don't share top secret stuff, don't
- 19:54Speaker 11: share public stuff. You can do like Tom Clancy did
- 19:59Speaker 11: find enough like information and how the FBI investigate you
- 20:04Speaker 11: because you're creating a story based on public knowledge.
- 20:10Speaker 6: All I know is all I can tell you about
- 20:13Speaker 6: this Washington Post rate and we reported I mean in
- 20:16Speaker 6: abstract just yes it happened. But everyone's got an opinion
- 20:19Speaker 6: on this, and oh it's gonna quell journalism. I don't know.
- 20:22Speaker 6: I'm still getting one hundred pages a minute from my
- 20:25Speaker 6: news feeds, so it doesn't seem like journalists have stopped journalizing.
- 20:30Speaker 6: But the one thing I can tell you about this
- 20:32Speaker 6: is the Washington Post has been pretty quiet about it
- 20:36Speaker 6: since then. And you know, where's the stream of editorials
- 20:40Speaker 6: demanding free speech. I think they know whatever it was
- 20:44Speaker 6: that this reporter had shared was beyond the pale. And
- 20:49Speaker 6: you know, and that's why we haven't heard more about it.
- 20:53Speaker 6: Did we lose Mike? The line's gone dark? Okay, well,
- 20:57Speaker 6: I appreciate it. Mike is always good. But you know,
- 20:59Speaker 6: that's to me, the tell in this Washington Post story
- 21:05Speaker 6: is that they're not running hot and cold free speech
- 21:09Speaker 6: First Amendment things you have a right to publish. And
- 21:14Speaker 6: what is national security? That becomes a really important part
- 21:19Speaker 6: of journalism. And so when these people take journalism cavalierly
- 21:26Speaker 6: to get clicks, to get views, whatever it is, it
- 21:31Speaker 6: hurts everyone because they should be trying to make sure
- 21:35Speaker 6: we are all aware of what is considered national security.
- 21:39Speaker 6: Even if you don't tell us the specifics. Where is
- 21:43Speaker 6: the boundary on what is national security? What is the boundary?
- 21:46Speaker 6: Don't just tell me Trump is implementing an executive order,
- 21:51Speaker 6: tell me what is his premise for it? So that
- 21:55Speaker 6: we can watch and make sure that our rights aren't
- 21:58Speaker 6: being violated. Don't just tell us that they are.
- 22:01Speaker 21: Hey, Brandt, and her name is Shrey I love. She's
- 22:04Speaker 21: a friend of mine whom we were just praying for
- 22:07Speaker 21: because of a surgery. She just went through.
- 22:09Speaker 22: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
- 22:11Speaker 22: talk about all the time, which.

- 23:06Speaker 23: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
- 23:11Speaker 23: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
- 23:15Speaker 23: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
- 23:20Speaker 23: veterinary teams in exciting ways.
- 23:23Speaker 6: We're using AI to.
- 23:24Speaker 23: Develop personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
- 23:30Speaker 23: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
- 23:34Speaker 23: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
- 23:40Speaker 23: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
- 23:44Speaker 23: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
- 23:48Speaker 23: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
- 23:53Speaker 23: center of our profession. For more information on AI and

- 24:09Speaker 24: actually three known gases. I'm doctor Mitch and nitric oxide

- 28:21Speaker 6: put down his voters Guide to Bloomington, Indiana and tell
- 28:26Speaker 6: us what's going on. So I was worried, especially when
- 28:31Speaker 6: it was like ten to nothing at halftime, and I'm like, oh,
- 28:34Speaker 6: this is gonna be one of those games. And then
- 28:37Speaker 6: I mean Miami got furious in the second half, and
- 28:40Speaker 6: I mean literally, I mean it was like, you know,
- 28:43Speaker 6: it was like some Indiana bunch of kids got lost
- 28:46Speaker 6: on South Beach and Miami was going, you know, ghetto
- 28:50Speaker 6: on him. But I would say, you know, the second
- 28:53Speaker 6: half was completely different. It was wild affair. Yeah.
- 28:56Speaker 28: The last one of the stats, the last to go
- 29:00Speaker 28: sixteen and oh in college football was Yale in like
- 29:04Speaker 28: eighteen ninety four something like oh yeah, So with all
- 29:07Speaker 28: this tuf all right, So just to give you a
- 29:09Speaker 28: little taste, all right, champions. This was the song in
- 29:13Speaker 28: the locker room following the Indiana wins, log.
- 29:17Speaker 24: Trying to take draft loggy, trying to say.
- 29:20Speaker 28: Oh try okay, that's take take over your trap. I
- 29:24Speaker 28: had two chains and whatever. I'm not as hip as
- 29:28Speaker 28: I used to be because this was the song playing
- 29:31Speaker 28: in the hard rock stadium after.
- 29:33Speaker 2: It was all over.
- 29:34Speaker 10: Any years the times.
- 29:37Speaker 12: What.
- 29:39Speaker 22: I remember.
- 29:43Speaker 28: We could forget Abba.
- 29:45Speaker 6: We were trying, I mean, you know, working on it.
- 29:50Speaker 6: Did I talk about that all the time?
- 29:52Speaker 28: You know, we you know, we we kid each other
- 29:54Speaker 28: all the time about okay Abba.
- 29:56Speaker 6: She loves Abba. Would you ever consider an ab a concert?
- 29:59Speaker 6: I went, oh, yes, you would, trust me, said, I
- 30:04Speaker 6: want to go see you will be there.
- 30:06Speaker 28: But so, there's so much to be written about Fernando.
- 30:11Speaker 28: He was a fourth number four quarterback on his high
- 30:14Speaker 28: school team. The other three quarterbacks were hurt. He gets
- 30:18Speaker 28: put in a game against their arrival, thirty five seconds
- 30:21Speaker 28: to go twenty yard line, throws an eighty year touchdown
- 30:24Speaker 28: past the first time he ever throws it pass in
- 30:25Speaker 28: the high school game.
- 30:27Speaker 6: Nice, and so he ends up. Yeah, I mean so
- 30:29Speaker 6: it's movie asking. I get it.
- 30:32Speaker 28: He was a two star. He was ranked one hundred
- 30:34Speaker 28: and fortieth by twenty four to seven.
- 30:36Speaker 6: That's why.
- 30:37Speaker 28: That's why backing up Nick Saban, when Saban says, how
- 30:39Speaker 28: do the guys get stars when these guys who are
- 30:42Speaker 28: ranking them have never played football?
- 30:46Speaker 6: I saw something that said Indiana didn't have a single
- 30:49Speaker 6: four star recruit. You know, that's where Saban was going.
- 30:52Speaker 6: Yesterday I heard it.
- 30:53Speaker 28: You know, he was on the McFee show, and Saban
- 30:56Speaker 28: was great as always because Saban says, we did our
- 30:58Speaker 28: own stars, and he goes.
- 31:00Speaker 6: And that's what Kurt Signetti does.
- 31:02Speaker 28: And that's why Kurt Signetti does it because he was
- 31:04Speaker 28: on the staff and a recruiting coordinator for you know,
- 31:06Speaker 28: for Saban Okay, so he was Mendoza was the two thousand,
- 31:11Speaker 28: one hundred and forty ninth best high school prospect two thousand.
- 31:16Speaker 6: And one forty nine.
- 31:18Speaker 28: I mean, I'm I could have been in there somewhere.
- 31:20Speaker 6: Even Yeah, and that's when you point to those to
- 31:22Speaker 6: the statue on the shelf and yell scoreboard. Yeah, you
- 31:26Speaker 6: know so. But many moments.
- 31:28Speaker 28: Of course the twelve yard run, which we'll get to
- 31:31Speaker 28: in mendo But I mean, there were just so many
- 31:34Speaker 28: moments that you can talk about in the play call
- 31:38Speaker 28: anyway with on the title of credit where credit is due,
- 31:42Speaker 28: Coach Signetti.
- 31:42Speaker 29: His team really overcame a lot on the road and
- 31:46Speaker 29: a lot of tight games and found a way to
- 31:48Speaker 29: get it done. And we're sixteen and oh and we're
- 31:51Speaker 29: I guess we're twenty seven and two since Indiana, but
- 31:54Speaker 29: we're sixteen and o sixteen national champions at Indiana University,
- 31:59Speaker 29: which I know a lot of people thought was never possible.
- 32:02Speaker 29: It probably is one of the greatest sports stories of
- 32:04Speaker 29: all time. But it's all because of these guys and
- 32:07Speaker 29: the staff.
- 32:08Speaker 28: And talking about academian too. Because yesterday I just happened
- 32:11Speaker 28: to lock in. I was doing some other stuff and
- 32:13Speaker 28: I locked into the MACI show. Who had the president
- 32:16Speaker 28: of Indiana University, a lady who's been there and her
- 32:19Speaker 28: name escapes you know, Pat and Merritt, I think, or
- 32:21Speaker 28: something like that. But anyway, she was very instrumental in
- 32:25Speaker 28: supporting She says, look, we're an athletic university. People don't
- 32:28Speaker 28: realize it. And she goes, we do a lot of
- 32:30Speaker 28: things first class. But she goes, you know, we've been
- 32:33Speaker 28: all about athletics for a long long time, and so
- 32:36Speaker 28: rallying around the football team and what they're doing and
- 32:39Speaker 28: so on and so forth. Okay, so for the and
- 32:42Speaker 28: I listened to Don Fisher most of the night last night,
- 32:45Speaker 28: fifty years doing IU sports on a play by play.
- 32:49Speaker 28: Guy I met years ago in Salisbury. I mean, he
- 32:52Speaker 28: is one terrific guy, and.
- 32:56Speaker 6: He would remember me the things.
- 32:57Speaker 28: I haven't talked to him probably fifteen years, twenty years,
- 33:00Speaker 28: but I bet you if I called him, he.
- 33:01Speaker 6: Would remember me. I mean, that's who Don Fisher.
- 33:04Speaker 28: Don Fisher is one of the great But anyways, fun
- 33:06Speaker 28: to listen to him and I was going back and
- 33:07Speaker 28: forth with the Miami radio people and then the Indiana
- 33:11Speaker 28: radio people who go back and forth, and I was
- 33:13Speaker 28: able to do it real quick using the third but
- 33:17Speaker 28: I was able to do it real quick going back
- 33:20Speaker 28: and forth depending on who had the ball, what the
- 33:22Speaker 28: situation was. So anyway, because for example, the Carson back
- 33:27Speaker 28: interception was I was on the Miami call, thinking, Okay,
- 33:31Speaker 28: Miami scores the game winner. I want to get the
- 33:33Speaker 28: Miami radio and the championship. However, he throws the pick,
- 33:36Speaker 28: I immediately switched Indiana and there was such a delay
- 33:40Speaker 28: that I get the Don Fisher call of the of
- 33:43Speaker 28: the interception. All Right, we figure it out for Nando
- 33:47Speaker 28: Mendoza postgame.
- 33:48Speaker 30: Whether it's preseason, no one thinks we can make it.
- 33:50Speaker 30: Whether it's figuring it out in situations like Oregon, Penn
- 33:53Speaker 30: State and Iowa, We'll always figure it out. And whenever
- 33:56Speaker 30: it coached Signetti, coach Anahan, you know they called that play.
- 33:59Speaker 30: We knew, hey going to better ourselves one more time
- 34:01Speaker 30: in the biggest stage of the game. I took the
- 34:02Speaker 30: drop and I wasn't the perfect coverage for it, but
- 34:04Speaker 30: I trust my lineman and everybody in that entire offense
- 34:08Speaker 30: and entire team had a gritty performance today, and we're
- 34:10Speaker 30: all putting our boys on the line.
- 34:11Speaker 6: So at least I could do for my brother.
- 34:12Speaker 28: Yeah, and on that path, you know, because that put
- 34:14Speaker 28: them up ten with nine minutes to go, and with
- 34:16Speaker 28: a fourth down and four call, And so Signetti explained,
- 34:20Speaker 28: we just put that play in. He talked about, we
- 34:23Speaker 28: just put it in for the game. I st of
- 34:25Speaker 28: a Bill Belichick moved too, and so there it was
- 34:29Speaker 28: just that, you know, the play call, and then when
- 34:32Speaker 28: Miami holds him to the field goal. I mean, it's
- 34:34Speaker 28: twenty seven to twenty one, and you still got a
- 34:37Speaker 28: minute forty in Miami at the time had three timeouts
- 34:40Speaker 28: and then they burned a couple but had one time
- 34:43Speaker 28: out remaining at least trying to get to the end zone.
- 34:46Speaker 28: They had to score a touchdown, but they could have won.
- 34:48Speaker 28: It could have, should have would have, but Carson Back,
- 34:51Speaker 28: of course, giving credit where credit is due, even though
- 34:54Speaker 28: Carson Back walked off the field and shook no hands
- 34:56Speaker 28: and didn't congratulate one person.
- 34:59Speaker 6: Wait to go a person, nice job.
- 35:00Speaker 28: Yeah, his Beck looks throws it down before here's the
- 35:03Speaker 28: ending call with Don Fisher ill that it is.
- 35:06Speaker 6: Intercepting by.
- 35:09Speaker 4: Whoa what a play and it is Jafari shirt who
- 35:13Speaker 4: comes up for the big and he runs into the
- 35:16Speaker 4: end zone.
- 35:16Speaker 16: They're gonna call penally and it's not gonna matter.
- 35:20Speaker 31: I was saying that in a moment, you react and
- 35:23Speaker 31: you know that's what happened. He made a really good
- 35:26Speaker 31: play on it. You can sit back and think of
- 35:27Speaker 31: every if and a butt situation after, but you know
- 35:31Speaker 31: that's what happened, and it sucks, but you know it's
- 35:34Speaker 31: it's kind of staying for a while.
- 35:36Speaker 6: Yeah, there you go. So with all that, you know,
- 35:39Speaker 6: go ahead. Yeah, so any and it begins.
- 35:41Speaker 28: As the losingest major program in the history of college football.
- 35:45Speaker 28: They had seven hundred and fifteen loss or something like that.
- 35:47Speaker 28: So the losingest franchise in college football. A remarkable two
- 35:52Speaker 28: year turnaround twenty seven to two is signetty just pointed out,
- 35:56Speaker 28: and the first team in modern college football to finish
- 35:59Speaker 28: the season sixteen and oh, the first time national title
- 36:02Speaker 28: winners since Florida in ninety six, and the Hoosiers are
- 36:06Speaker 28: the third consecutive Big Ten team to win the national title.
- 36:09Speaker 6: So they're bragging.
- 36:10Speaker 28: Of course, Greg Sanki the SEC office, probably calling an
- 36:13Speaker 28: emergency meeting.
- 36:15Speaker 6: Where were we?
- 36:16Speaker 28: Yeah, what's going on here? We need to expand, Sankie,
- 36:20Speaker 28: you'll be calling Patini.
- 36:21Speaker 6: You know, you were right.
- 36:22Speaker 28: Maybe we should expand to sixteen more.
- 36:24Speaker 6: Let's get Miami in here. They play like you know what.
- 36:27Speaker 6: But it was great to see, you know, and to everyone,
- 36:31Speaker 6: and one dear friend and really one of the great
- 36:35Speaker 6: heroes of my careers in Indiana alumni. And I know
- 36:39Speaker 6: Dennis was watching in Charlotte where he was and he's
- 36:44Speaker 6: probably still jumping up and down and yelling and drinking
- 36:48Speaker 6: his apple cider, but you know he's you know, it's
- 36:52Speaker 6: just it's fun for folks who have been long suffering
- 36:55Speaker 6: having you know, grown up a long suffering sports fan
- 36:58Speaker 6: of the teams I rooted for. You know, you kind
- 37:01Speaker 6: of feel that feeling like if the Jets ever won
- 37:04Speaker 6: the Super Bowl again, you'd feel for those long suffering
- 37:07Speaker 6: Jet fans, you know, the Indiana alumni who are like, well,
- 37:11Speaker 6: oh yeah, men's basketball season start, you know, and Tom Brady.
- 37:15Speaker 28: Tom Brady shows up and his Vegas Raiders hoodie un

- 37:21Speaker 28: whole thing because in April and the Las Vegas Raiders
- 37:25Speaker 28: take from the from University of Indiana Fernandez.
- 37:28Speaker 6: And yeah, well and then.

- 37:33Speaker 28: becomes the number one draft pick.
- 37:37Speaker 6: Can't anyone here play this game? You know what happened
- 37:39Speaker 6: to my offensive line? Good stuff? Mac A lot of

- 38:05Speaker 18: strongly believe that no one should ever pay one penny
- 38:08Speaker 18: more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately, for
- 38:13Speaker 18: most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case. Why
- 38:17Speaker 18: because most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway
- 38:21Speaker 18: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less than taxes.
- 38:24Speaker 18: My Financial Fitness team has put together some materials that
- 38:27Speaker 18: I know are going to help you. It's the Tax
- 38:29Speaker 18: Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
- 38:35Speaker 18: top ten ways to pay less than taxes, and an
- 38:38Speaker 18: investor's guide to taxes. Now, how do you get it
- 38:41Speaker 18: simple eight six six seven sixty four six three five
- 38:46Speaker 18: and eighty six six seven six four two six three five.

- 39:04Speaker 24: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
- 39:08Speaker 19: Yes?
- 39:09Speaker 24: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch and nitric
- 39:13Speaker 24: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 39:18Speaker 24: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 39:23Speaker 24: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
- 39:28Speaker 24: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 39:33Speaker 24: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this

- 44:27Speaker 2: by Joe Thomas, I'm the talk writing a network.
- 44:33Speaker 6: Oh and then you start in and then you know,
- 44:36Speaker 6: somebody says abba, and then you start everyone and defending abba.
- 44:41Speaker 6: You know, and you don't get any bigger than that.
- 45:00Speaker 6: And you don't have to understand it. I mean you really,
- 45:04Speaker 6: but there is a point to this, and you have
- 45:07Speaker 6: to when you want to try to understand the unhinged
- 45:12Speaker 6: political crowds indivisible, et cetera. This has metastasized on a
- 45:23Speaker 6: society that has grown disinterested in our own selves. And
- 45:32Speaker 6: we gain meaning from the external. What band we like,
- 45:41Speaker 6: what team we root for, what political party we vote for,
- 45:46Speaker 6: and we put the yard signs and we get And
- 45:49Speaker 6: it's not like any of these things are trappings of
- 45:51Speaker 6: something that just started but fifteen or so years ago,
- 45:55Speaker 6: in the beginnings of the Internet, when the Internet was
- 45:59Speaker 6: mostly molten LoVa in Internet one point zero, in the
- 46:07Speaker 6: early days when it was chat rooms, Facebook hadn't been invented,
- 46:11Speaker 6: or maybe Facebook had kind of just started. There were
- 46:17Speaker 6: a lot of people because I was doing radio at
- 46:20Speaker 6: the time, I was doing maybe more than fifteen years ago,
- 46:25Speaker 6: maybe we're talking twenty five years ago. As the Internet
- 46:30Speaker 6: really started to dominate and social media started to become
- 46:35Speaker 6: a thing, isolation became. All the talking points of all
- 46:40Speaker 6: these psychologists, educational psychologists out of you name the Ivy
- 46:46Speaker 6: League Institution, go on and on and on about the
- 46:53Speaker 6: isolation that was being created by and some of it.
- 47:02Speaker 6: So you have to you can't discount that norm busting
- 47:06Speaker 6: event of September eleventh. September eleventh took the United States
- 47:10Speaker 6: and very clearly pulled the rugout from under us, just
- 47:14Speaker 6: the same way Pearl Harbor did. We were no longer
- 47:18Speaker 6: immune to the stuff. Terrorist bombings were things that happened
- 47:25Speaker 6: over there. Terrorist attacks happened over there. So in the
- 47:37Speaker 6: wake of this norm busting event, that's a phrase our
- 47:40Speaker 6: friend Horace Cooper from Project twenty one in the National
- 47:43Speaker 6: Center coined for US years ago, comes social media and
- 47:50Speaker 6: an opportunity for us to both indulge our desire to
- 47:58Speaker 6: not be around PA anymore lest we put ourselves in peril.
- 48:04Speaker 6: And I'm not saying it was ninety percent of the population,
- 48:07Speaker 6: but there was enough of the population that had become agrophobes,
- 48:14Speaker 6: had become anti social. And I don't mean it in
- 48:19Speaker 6: that like just a jerk to people, but they were
- 48:21Speaker 6: against being social. And the Internet probably tail wagging the
- 48:29Speaker 6: dog or whatnot. The Internet comes along and says, well,
- 48:35Speaker 6: if you are afraid to go out and be around
- 48:37Speaker 6: real people, how about use us and Facebook and all
- 48:42Speaker 6: this stuff becomes like a strip of mercury or aluminum
- 48:48Speaker 6: just burns like crazy. Magnesium, that's the stuff that burns
- 48:58Speaker 6: like crazy. I'm sorry, I was I was sleeping during
- 49:01Speaker 6: science class. So this strip of magnesium burns and conflats
- 49:08Speaker 6: like crazy because we were already at too frequent an interval,
- 49:14Speaker 6: afraid to be outdoors. So here comes the Internet saying,
- 49:18Speaker 6: guess what, you don't ever have to be around people
- 49:21Speaker 6: you don't already approve of. We will give you. We
- 49:23Speaker 6: have this system now where you only have to talk
- 49:26Speaker 6: to people you approve of and that agree with you
- 49:30Speaker 6: and approve of you. And it becomes the and psychologists
- 49:33Speaker 6: at the time where this is dangerous for kids, it's dangerous.
- 49:36Speaker 6: But you know, the free speech advocates said, you can't
- 49:40Speaker 6: stop a kid from having free speech. Argument was made saying,
- 49:44Speaker 6: well they're not eighteen yet, so are they. Wow, you
- 49:48Speaker 6: can't and you start to get in the minor attracted
- 49:51Speaker 6: politicians and all of that, because every mom has a
- 49:55Speaker 6: vote and we've watched it through the trans movement got
- 49:58Speaker 6: even nuttier once the trans movements started. So just smiling
- 50:08Speaker 6: and saying, oh, jose Ah Metz fan, which I was
- 50:11Speaker 6: growing up, and taking pity on me because we routinely
- 50:15Speaker 6: lost one hundred games a year. Now you have to
- 50:18Speaker 6: dislike me because I don't agree with you. You can't
- 50:23Speaker 6: be part of my club because I am a Yankee
- 50:26Speaker 6: fan or I am Indiana Hoosier fan, and therefore I
- 50:32Speaker 6: only surround myself. Oh, you went to Penn State, Oh crucibles,
- 50:36Speaker 6: get the crucifix out. You went to Michigan, ohs And
- 50:47Speaker 6: this should explain this mania that a lot of us
- 50:51Speaker 6: who are old enough don't recall being politically active, being
- 50:56Speaker 6: manic the way it's become with Indivisible. Some of these
- 51:00Speaker 6: folks yesterday at the Second Amendment rally, the Black Panthers
- 51:08Speaker 6: were there saying, you know what, we're Second Amendment supporters.
- 51:13Speaker 6: I brought up what you and I got into with
- 51:16Speaker 6: Kareem and the speech that Karl Marx gave in eighteen
- 51:20Speaker 6: fifty about the workers should have guns. You can't take
- 51:25Speaker 6: away the worker's right to keep arms. So this idea
- 51:38Speaker 6: that everything is just a black or white issue and
- 51:42Speaker 6: you're either in my club or out of my club.
- 51:44Speaker 6: This drives this mania because people are gaining their own
- 51:52Speaker 6: meaning from these external pyrrhic sources, like what political party
- 52:01Speaker 6: am I in? And did we win? That's the more important.
- 52:04Speaker 6: It's not what political party I'm in, but did we win?
- 52:08Speaker 6: And did we get to make everyone else live the
- 52:10Speaker 6: kind of world we want them to live in? And
- 52:16Speaker 6: I don't know what the fix is for it. I
- 52:19Speaker 6: know what I see the problem is. I guess that's
- 52:22Speaker 6: three quarters of the battle. Knowing what the tumor is
- 52:28Speaker 6: made out of is the best way to know how
- 52:30Speaker 6: to beat it. But this is what is creating these
- 52:34Speaker 6: individual indivisible protests and the no Kings protest, all those
- 52:41Speaker 6: my team versus your team. I listened to it with
- 52:43Speaker 6: my new governor. She gave her first address to the state,
- 52:46Speaker 6: and it was all about my team one.
- 52:48Speaker 15: So a few years ago, my youngest son had something
- 52:54Speaker 15: minor turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 52:57Speaker 6: It was Mediicare that came through for Uce.
- 53:00Speaker 7: There's no hassles, there was no problem.
- 53:02Speaker 15: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
- 53:05Speaker 15: of such an incredible ministry.
- 53:07Speaker 13: Meta Share is a Biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
- 53:11Speaker 13: share each other's medical expenses.
- 53:13Speaker 27: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
- 53:17Speaker 27: with you through the hardest times of your life.
- 53:20Speaker 13: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years old,
- 53:25Speaker 13: and members have shared over eight billion dollars of each
- 53:27Speaker 13: other's medical bills.
- 53:28Speaker 4: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
- 53:31Speaker 2: You can focus on on supporting other people.
- 53:33Speaker 1: Medashare is affordable.
- 53:35Speaker 13: Medishare is Biblical.
