"Filibuster" (Tuesday September 16, 2025, Hour 3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:03
Speaker 1: But you also had people that were very five people
0:08
on butt side.
0:08
Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Tunk
0:13
Media Network by Joe Thomas, your word.
0:15
Speaker 3: Said steal men have a day at least for work.
0:20
Speaker 2: When the sun comes up, drops a pet to scoom.
0:25
Speaker 4: Joe is a thing agenda all the jos said, needs
0:30
no wonder Joe Zalis smile.
0:32
Speaker 5: He on the eggs.
0:37
Speaker 6: Joe, bless you for letting me be of service to
0:40
you this morning. Joe er Well, the Talk Media Network
0:45
will give you the news. We'll tell you what I
0:48
think of the news, as I said, and then find
0:51
out how the news is impacting us where you are,
0:54
as it said Mansion, we were talking about this couple
0:57
of reactions to Joe Manchin's statements. This one, Teresa writes
1:02
in from Lowell listening WCAP. She said, at least Joe
1:09
Manchin did something about it. I'm tired of these politicians.
1:13
What's the phrase you used, Joe laundering their reputations parentheses
1:18
love it by writing a book after the fact. It's
1:22
like Jake Tapper, Yes, I failed you as a journalist,
1:25
but please buy my book and accept my apology. How
1:28
many times are we going to let these abusive spouses
1:32
get away with it. Terri say, you're brilliant. I mean
1:35
not because it's it is the truth. I mean it
1:40
is the relationship we're in with these people. And I
1:44
said this earlier. Mike caught it. He said, I think
1:49
you're a Douglas Adams fan. Isn't only Knoufid the one
1:53
that wrote the book The Universe was a bad idea?
2:00
He also wrote the book who is this God person? Anyway?
2:04
But I think television as we're using it, and you know,
2:10
I am loathed to blame inanimate objects, but we have
2:13
to get control of ourselves. Like the Utah governor said,
2:17
just go touch some grass. My generation is the worst.
2:24
Oh I can have my own TV channel on YouTube.
2:27
Speaker 2: Ah.
2:28
Speaker 6: Man, You know, we grow up watching Bonanza reruns or
2:32
whatever and Star Trek, and now we get to have
2:35
our own TV station Glory, and we all want to
2:43
and our kids know that going forward. Hopefully by the
2:47
time Gen X gets around, they're so done with visual media.
2:53
I think there's a Spider Robinson short story about this
2:56
kid who gets runs off to this this counter culture
3:04
meet up where they all read books and talk about
3:09
the books and their parents are all there, all right,
3:14
you gonna sit with us and watch TV. I think
3:18
Spider Robinson wrote that like fifty years ago too, and
3:22
it's just become worse now. We all have our own
3:24
TV stations in our pockets. I have some woman who
3:30
keeps sending me advertisements telling me she can teach me
3:34
how to make great videos for my podcast with my smartphone. Like, lady,
3:41
I already know how to do that. Can you call Chucks?
3:44
You James Carville brother needs to know how to at
3:51
least sit near the inbound computer on his laptop. I said,
3:57
I've just got that. Over here. I can see the
3:59
TV and c my LSU highlights. It's a crazy world.
4:04
We just need to stop kneeling at the cathode ray
4:09
or crt oracle. I know they most of them don't
4:15
have cathode ray tubes anymore. I get it. Let the
4:17
luddite have his moment, all right. First things this morning
4:20
on the Talk Media Network, this is good news for
4:25
our friends in western North Carolina. As we approached the
4:28
year anniversary of the devastation of Hurricane Helene, Department of
4:33
Homeland Security of all Places said Monday, it's releasing sixty
4:37
four point two million dollars in disaster relief to be
4:41
administered through FEMA, supporting more than two hundred state and
4:47
local projects. The FBI made the TV rounds faster than
4:55
you can say from Zimbalist. Junior Cash Betel, the director
4:59
of the FBI, told Fox News that authorities have the
5:04
suspect in Charlie Kirk's assassination's electronic devices. Quote, we have
5:11
the multiple electronic devices from the home of the suspect
5:15
and his romantic partner. We've got computers, we've got laptops,
5:19
gaming systems, cell phones, and one thing he did confesses
5:23
that there was a conversation about the assassination in one
5:27
of the discord channels in which somebody said why and
5:30
the suspect was applied. You can't debate with evil. Meanwhile,
5:35
his subordinate, Dan Bongino, was talking to Newsmax and said
5:40
there are significant developments in the investigation into online chatter
5:46
and the possibility of fore knowledge or a plot to
5:50
assassinate the founder of Turning Point USA. Meanwhile, White House
5:55
Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller was on the radio
5:58
program that used to be host by mister Kirk was
6:03
guest hosted by JD. Vance, Vice President of the United States,
6:07
in the wake of his killing, and the Vice presidents
6:11
in interrogating Miller, got him to admit that there's going
6:15
to be a concerted effort out of the White House
6:19
to move against networks contributing to political violence. Health Secretary
6:26
Robert F. Kennedy Junior, his new Executive Advisory Vaccine Committee
6:32
meets this week Thursday and Friday, with votes expected on
6:35
whether to change recommendations for shots against COVID nineteen, hepatitis B,
6:40
and chicken pox. President Trump signed in order sending the
6:46
National Guard to supplant and support the Police Department of Memphis,
6:51
saying it's a replica of our extraordinary successful efforts in Washington.
6:57
And I told you about the DHS already.
7:01
Speaker 7: You know, a lot of times you have to choose
7:03
between something high quality or something that saves you money.
7:07
Speaker 6: But what if you could get both? Why not, especially
7:10
when it comes.
7:10
Speaker 7: To healthcare, and that is meta share.
7:13
Speaker 6: You get both.
7:14
Speaker 7: Many families save five hundred bucks a month with meta
7:17
share and that's huge. But it's also true that people
7:20
wind up way more satisfied too, and we know this
7:22
from research of members. There's a lot they like about
7:25
Meta Share, but especially they love being part of something
7:28
they believe in, and metashare works too. It has for
7:32
more than thirty years. There are hundreds of thousands of
7:35
members who love having telehealth if they need it. They
7:38
love the huge Ppo network. You could save a ton
7:41
and like it better. Imagine being happy with how you're
7:44
taking care of your health care.
7:46

Speaker 5: You were strolling along in Goodwill when just past that
9:05
mid century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them
9:08
nestled in their display case, miniature donut earrings. Oh yes, yes,
9:16

9:58
Speaker 10: Exercise is hard. Maintaining a healthy diet, of course, neither
10:03
is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
10:08
heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
10:12
Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
10:15
few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
10:22
Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
10:24
diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
10:28
changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
10:33
because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,

Speaker 2: The first Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk
13:17
Media Network, All natural and free of artificial intelligence.
13:22
Speaker 11: All across America, talk radio and the voices of freedom.
13:28
Speaker 6: Don't stop talking, don't stop sharing, don't stop laughing, don't
13:34
stop Karen, who what Karen? You've got a voice, don't stop.
13:40
Don't even get me started on Karen. Okay, And speaking
13:44
of don't stop talking. Filibuster and the word has engendered
13:49
some commentary. First the esteem senator from South Carolina, Senator Cleghorn, boy.
13:58
Speaker 16: Head, but that's a joke. Boy mission went right past you.
14:01
Speaker 18: You gotta keep I say, you got to.
14:03
Speaker 16: Keep on your toes, toes that is, but the past
14:06
ones get right by you.
14:07
Speaker 3: Keep your ears open.
14:09
Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, I can't get a.
14:10
Speaker 16: Word it is.
14:12
Speaker 6: That's right. So the esteemed idea of the filibuster Bob
14:17
Wrights in agree talking about our excerptation of Joe Manchin's book,
14:26
in which he details the tipping point as to when
14:31
he was about to depart the Democratic Party. Schumer wanted
14:38
to Chuck Schumer wanted to blow up the filibuster so
14:42
he could prove his loyalty to the left, the radical
14:46
left of the party, even though Accordion didn't have any
14:51
concern or even interest in getting rid of the filibuster.
14:54
And we'll get to you on the phone in a second.
14:56
Hang on the line there, but Bob writes in a
15:01
generally regarding Schumer, but a repealing filibuster is not unconstitutional
15:06
in the slightest. It's inconsistent with traditional consent role of
15:10
the US Senate, but not constitutionally ordained. Brookings ms Pinder
15:17
testified before the Senate that most of the history of
15:23
the filibuster isn't even legislated. It's it's just an assumed
15:27
thing that you had to get to a certain number
15:29
of votes in the Senate, and that if you kept
15:32
talking then you couldn't get people to get to that vote.
15:38
And then you get into the nineteen hundreds when they
15:42
start to try to codify it, because once you put
15:47
something in law, then boy you know, you can really
15:49
have some fun with it. Let me get to you
15:51
at four, three, four, eight eight, two four to two
15:54
one seven. Good morning, You're on the air, first thing
15:56
this morning with Joe. Who's this? Hey, Joe Charles, good morning,
16:00
Good morning, Charlie. How are you doing my friend?
16:04
Speaker 5: Hey?
16:05
Speaker 19: Isn't it interesting that the University of Virginia's football team
16:12
had a night visual and paraded around the grounds with
16:17
candles to recognize George Floyd's untimely demise, But yet the
16:26
University of Virginia didn't say one thing about Charlie Clerk.
16:31
I think that tells you every week you need to
16:34
know well.
16:35
Speaker 6: I believe they actually stood in the way of a
16:37
vigil because there is a small turning point us a
16:42
branch at the University of Virginia. And I know this
16:47
because it was one of the reasons that, as a
16:49
program director, I tried to bring Charlie's radio program to Charlottesville,
16:53
and I did get it on the Aaron Blacksburg can't
16:57
get my own show on the air in Blacksburg, but
16:59
I'm working on it. But you know, and that's one
17:03
of the places Charlie was headed. He was going to
17:05
be there on September twenty fourth, and then he was
17:07
going to be at Liberty. And again, it's the idea
17:10
that unanimity of thought, Charlie, this idea that descending opinions
17:16
are bad and must be snuffed out, because if there
17:20
are descending opinions, then how can we ever get anything done?
17:25
And it's so anethema to what Jefferson wanted when he
17:28
fathered that university.
17:30
Speaker 19: So I did I misunderstand you.
17:33
Speaker 6: Did you say that.
17:34
Speaker 19: The university did recognize him going to football game?
17:38
Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, no no. But I believe that
17:40
the Turning Point Chapter was not given permission to hold
17:46
a vigil on grounds for him. There was, There were
17:51
several in the area, but none with the Turning Point
17:55
Chapter at University of Virginia, which is very small and
17:59
has come under great attacks, just like Young Americans for
18:02
Freedom and some of the other youth voices for conservative thought. No, no, no,
18:07
all don't no, they did not. I don't think they
18:10
acknowledged it at all.
18:12
Speaker 19: I believe in a very near future the United States
18:17
Department of Justice is going to have a few words
18:21
with the university again, and I think that it's going
18:27
to be substantial amount of money that they're going to
18:32
be asked to provide. But this just goes to show
18:36
you that they are not in favor of following the
18:42
constitution that the founder of the university.
18:47
Speaker 6: So how can we put together well? And it also
18:51
this is a bigger concern. I was at at an
18:54
event with the group Fire, which started as a college
18:58
campus pain to find these universities who would write free
19:03
speech rules that were actually the opposite so Orwellian. But
19:08
the University of Virginia, like so many, have rules regarding
19:12
free speech zones. So they establish legislatively free speech areas
19:18
on the campuses and then you have to get permission
19:22
from the board that oversees the free speech zone to
19:26
use the free speech zone. It's and I look at
19:31
the people who try to explain this to me, like
19:33
it's a good thing. That's a free speech Oh sure
19:37
it is. All you have to do is you have
19:39
to apply and get approved, and if you're not approved,
19:42
they tell you how you can come back, Like, no,
19:44
that's not free speech. And I feel so bad that
19:46
these kids have been gas lit into this idea that
19:51
free speech only happens when the government authorizes it.
19:56
Speaker 19: Yeah, well, you know, that people like Charlie, they didn't
20:00
exactly relish his thought process on their grounds.
20:06
Speaker 6: Oh no, no, I mean that's why he wrote the
20:09
book he did about academia and the corruption in academia,
20:13
specifically to all the kids in the Turning Point USA.
20:16
And look at how quickly and this is one of
20:19
those things we pointed out about Charlie Kirk's assassination at
20:22
Charlie is how quickly he would flip somebody. He'd find
20:27
some twenty year old on say the University of Virginia
20:31
or Oregon State or wherever they are, and he'd sit
20:35
down with them and in ten minutes he'd have them flipped.
20:39
He would deprogram you know, think about this, Charlie. This
20:42
is programming that starts getting laid in in kindergarten, if
20:46
not in preschool. So you're talking about eighteen nineteen years
20:50
worth of Marxist programming into a kid. And all Charlie
20:55
had to do was have a Socratic discussion with him
20:58
about the things he believed, and the guy would give up.
21:02
He'd realize it was like a light turning on. You know.
21:06
I know I've had a couple of friends saying, do
21:08
you think the Pope would deify Charlie Kirk watched him
21:12
flip kids in ten minutes. It's almost miraculous.
21:18
Speaker 19: Yeah, that's why he was such a threat to them.
21:20
Speaker 6: Joe, I agree with you. I agree with you, my friend.
21:23
You hanging in there, You're doing good.
21:26
Speaker 20: We got to get together.
21:27
Speaker 6: God bless you, God bless you. Sir Urah four three
21:30
four eight eight two four two one seven. I mean
21:33
it to you almost can understand the mania of somebody
21:38
on the left and the trillions of dollars that they
21:40
had spent on indoctrinating all these kids that Charlie could
21:45
deprogram just like that. You know. So if if you
21:50
had spent all that time and energy in building something
21:54
to watch it just disappear in the span of a
21:58
ten minute conversation, I think you'd be bent.
22:00

23:07
Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
23:12
better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
23:16
up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
23:21
veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
23:25
personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
23:31
and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
23:35
on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
23:41
a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
23:45
AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
23:48
your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
23:53
center of our profession. For more information on AI and
23:57
veterinary medicine, visit ABMA.

28:48
Speaker 6: Is that like a rule you know when you move

28:55
Speaker 3: That's it. Get your get you a couple of pair
28:57
of rees and call it to day. That's exactly right.
29:00
Speaker 6: Oh my goodness.
29:00
Speaker 3: All right, a lot of talk and I am not
29:03
and I'm gonna put my hand over the radio, raise
29:06
my right hand. I am not going to be the
29:09
guy who follows every day the head coach. Who's going
29:14
to be the next head coach at Virginia Tech. Okay,
29:16
I will tell you this a little surprise surface. UCLA
29:19
of course fired Sean Foster. And guess who is the
29:23
leader in the clubhouse, the one, the only, Why Spider,
29:26
Why Banana. John Gruden is being talked about to be
29:30
the next LA CLA. I don't think Gruden go to Blacksburg,
29:34
even though he's visited there, and.
29:36
Speaker 6: So he's much more of a UCLA guy that builds
29:40
his brand a whole lot.
29:41
Speaker 3: That'd be perfect, you know, he's an LA guy. He
29:43
would love it out there. Well I'm not, but again,
29:45
I'm not going to chase this every day. It's still
29:47
a little warm. So I'm just gonna tell you what's
29:50
surfacing now and then we'll watch it unfold. Okay, all right,
29:54
my perspective and I went back to our archives because
29:57
it was a year ago where and I on Foster
30:00
and friends. I had a chance to visit with Shane Beemer. Okay,
30:04
Shane Beemer to me is the leader in the clubhouse
30:06
and would be the perfect hire, and I think the
30:08
Virginia Tech folks would love it. Too. Uh, definitely. He
30:12
has learned a lot from his father, and I just
30:15
think that makes all the difference in the world.
30:21
Speaker 6: I'm not hearing him, Mac, I don't. I don't hear
30:23
his audio.
30:24
Speaker 3: Oh what did I do? I gotta check real quick.
30:29
I thought I had everything ready.
30:32
Speaker 6: Let me see, it's not my computer this morning.
30:35
Speaker 3: No, I got that clicked. I got that clicked, and
30:38
I got this clicked. I can hear it. Why can't
30:40
you hear it? Oh?
30:41
Speaker 6: I can't wait.
30:42
Speaker 3: Can't you can't hear that?
30:43
Speaker 6: No, I'm not hearing that at all.
30:45
Speaker 3: So, oh, I have to go through all this stuff. Sorry,
30:49
let's see. I'm sorry while we're doing this has been anyway,
30:53
Shane Biemer, I'll have to I'll have to figure it out. Joe.
30:56
It's probably a It just probably a setting on my
30:59
end when you're doing with zoom.
31:01
Speaker 6: Apologies, fat, I mean we fixed, we fixed our computers
31:04
after yesterday's debacle, So you know, evidence not to the woodstanding,
31:10
but I you know, appreciate it, you know, with Shane Beemer,
31:13
obviously the sun of longtime Virginia.
31:16
Speaker 3: Okay, I just now I go all right there, I go,
31:18
got you back. Let me all right, let me try this. No,
31:22
it should be there.
31:23
Speaker 6: I don't know why I have to go through it
31:25
not playing at all now, so.
31:26
Speaker 3: Why anyway, the sound isn't that important. The content's more
31:30
important because I got everything checked at this end as well.
31:34
So let me let me try out one more time.
31:36
Let me see if you can hear this.
31:37
Speaker 6: Now. I see it playing and I'm not hearing it.
31:42
Speaker 3: Not hearing Okay, well, anyway, I'll go through all my
31:44
settings again. But the reason being that Shane Beemer is
31:48
the leader in the clubhouse is that he was extended
31:51
in January at South Carolina through twenty thirty eight point
31:54
one five mil and a one hundred thousand dollars a
31:56
year raise every year. I'm not sure what the buyout
32:00
would be in South Carolina. I'm sure somebody's posted that,
32:02
but I haven't seen it yet. But anyway, Shane Bieber is,
32:05
you know, definitely on the on the on the top
32:08
run all right, Bob Chesney and Jamie Chadwell. Chesney's a
32:11
JMU Chadwell at Liberty. They've done great jobs, but that
32:16
Tech needs a splash hire. These guys would be good.
32:20
They'd be good, but just not if Tech has got
32:23
to go big time somehow. Now Toleda head coach, Toledo
32:26
head coach Jason Kandall is his name is burning. I
32:32
had to say it just a little bit. John Somemrall
32:34
from Tulane. He had success at Troy. He's having really
32:38
a lot of success at Tulane. Alex Golish is the
32:41
hot name. I talked about him yesterday because of South Florida,
32:44
what they did at Florida, how they played with against
32:47
Boise State. They got busted at Miami. But Golish is
32:51
still the hot name out there now. As I talked
32:53
about John Gruden, UCLA has him targeted? Would that happen
32:59
in the blacks No, But even though it would be
33:04
a lot of fun. And so now here's the Philip
33:06
Montgomery question. Who was head coach at Tulsa. Uh. He
33:10
came in this year happy to be in Blacksburg. His
33:13
family loves it. He's been very vocal about that and
33:16
also very vocal about working with Brent pry and having to,
33:19
you know, a defensive guy like Brent Prye and having
33:22
the opportunity to you know, to talk to him as well.
33:26
So you know, with that, with that being said, that's
33:29
the Uh, those are the names now in the hot names,
33:32
and there will be more. I'm not gonna chase this
33:35
every day unless it gets closer. And of course I'm gonna,
33:38
you know, keep my head to the ground. Now what
33:40
i Bud Foster is gonna We're gonna talk with Mike
33:44
burn Up today, who is the legendary analyst for the
33:48
radio network of Virginia Tech, has been there for years. Football, basketball,
33:51
He bleeds Chicago maroon. Okay, So what what we're gonna
33:56
come up with and what Bud will tell you this
33:59
weekend and for hookey fans want to, you know, really
34:01
dive into this. What Bud's going to tell you is
34:03
that when you've got when you're competing with the Georgia's
34:08
and the Clemsons and the South Carolina and Oha State
34:10
and these billion dollar departments that are putting billion dollars
34:13
into Tenn City and so forth, unfortunately it becomes an
34:18
arms race. And Bud gave me a great example. He said,
34:22
for example, he says, there's a five star quarterback in
34:26
Sioux City, Iowa, you know, and he goes Alabama can
34:30
get a private plane in a matter of seconds and boom,
34:34
the coach can be there in an hour and they
34:37
have a chance to visit with this guy. Where other
34:40
departments like Virginia Tech. Virginia, I mean, Virginia has a
34:43
private plane too, John Oliver, God knows, he used to
34:46
take it all over the country to play golf and
34:47
look at scoreboards. I mean, so now you know, but
34:51
a lot of times the money in the budget does
34:54
not allow you to do that. But that's what Virginia
34:57
Tech is trying to do. What was it a month
34:59
ago we talked about the the with Babcock, you know,
35:03
it's the ad. We talked about his presentation to the
35:06
Board of Visitors there whatever he calls them, the Border
35:10
Regions Board of Visitors, and you know, they just basically said,
35:13
as an ad, we have to get in the upper echelan.
35:15
And it goes. It's as far as student fees. It
35:18
has to do with all this other stuff.
35:21
Speaker 6: Listen to put.
35:21
Speaker 3: Money in the coffers to enable you to recruit like
35:24
you have to recruit. And that's unfortunately, that's the and
35:28
it's not really about and that's what Babcock says. It's
35:30
not about facilities anymore. It's not about bricks and mortar.
35:34
It's about being able to do that maybe to have
35:37
I mean, if you and I've said this a million times,
35:40
you want to have fun, go to the Alabama website today.
35:42
Go to Crimson Tide dot com whatever, the official athletic
35:47
website for Alabama. Look at the football staff. I mean,
35:51
I bet they have a dozen people. And I haven't
35:54
looked at it in a year or so. I bet
35:56
they have twelve people, not coaching, but in charge of recruiting.
36:01
We're working in the recruiting. You know, letter question, the
36:04
question ask okay, go ahead, but.
36:06
Speaker 6: The question still remains is I think the reason people
36:09
don't want to come go to Blacksburg is because they
36:13
don't think they're going to play on Sundays and that
36:16
I don't care about name, image, likeness, all this. I
36:19
understand that, and that's what they need to develop as
36:22
a guy who they You know, when a kid sits
36:24
down and says, I want to play somewhere, where am
36:27
I going to build my career? It's just like going
36:29
to MI I T do I want to get an
36:32
engineering job with some big firm building bridges and infrastructure,
36:36
I'm going to go to MI I T or Cooper Union.
36:40
You know, if I want to play football, I'm going
36:44
to go to Alabama, Georgia, maybe Tennessee because they play
36:49
against them. Or maybe I'll go to South Carolina because
36:51
they play against him. Uh, play against play play the characters.
36:55
And and that's the thing that they're losing. It's not
36:59
people say, oh, Blacksburg is a little town. Nobody wants
37:02
to go there. So it's Tuscaloosa, I mean outside.
37:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's too.
37:06
Speaker 26: He says, We've got the perfect college town. It's right,
37:08
it's it's it's the same thing. Yeah, So it's that idea.
37:12
Is my coach going to help me in my career,
37:16
you know? And the same way is the biomass major
37:20
that the engineering program that I'm taking going to help
37:23
me get a job making bio futures correct.
37:27
Speaker 3: And if you look back in history Beemer's first three years,
37:29
I mean it was it was touch and go. They
37:31
wanted Beamer out of there after the first three years.
37:34
And you know, Bud was there there, you know, but
37:36
once they started to recruit the state, you know, guys
37:39
like Bruce Smith, a lot changed, you know. Guys, Michael
37:43
tell me you three of their twenty two players were
37:46
from Virginia. That was it and now there's just it's
37:49
things have changed. That's uh, you know, it's it's just
37:53
a different ballgame for sure.
37:54
Speaker 6: Well, you appreciate you keeping up brother in college coach.
37:57
I guess if it could happen to the.
38:01
Speaker 12: According to a new report from Discovery Education, ninety two
38:05
percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
38:08
and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
38:11
critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
38:15
but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
38:19
student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
38:22
students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
38:26
forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
38:29
principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
38:33
the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
38:37
said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
38:42
while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
38:45
assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
38:49
students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
38:52
Yet fewer than half of teachers report using AI themselves
38:55
to complete tasks. Visit Discovery Education dot com to learn

40:38

illnesses that can cause misdays of work, hospitalization, and even death.

43:44
Speaker 6: You know what?
43:44
Speaker 16: I'd love a ride when it's time to head out.
43:47
Speaker 13: If you see a buzzed warning sign, call for a
43:49
ride when it's time to go home. Buzz driving is
43:52
drunk driving. A message from NITZA and the AD Council's radio.
43:56
Speaker 6: It's on.
44:11
Speaker 2: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
44:19
Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas and charlotte'smitter.
44:23
Speaker 6: Now we're going to take the silver metal on that
44:25
one and be happy. Whether I do want to thank
44:27
Mark down in the Treasure Coast for an email he says,
44:32
we love listening to your segments talking about the support
44:36
of the Alzheimer's Association. I will reach out to Julia
44:40
Keenan down there about that down on the Treasure Coast
44:44
there and continue to spread the word because I think
44:48
we are getting to that point, and we're getting to
44:51
a place where I think people realize the seriousness of this.
44:56
And Olivia Hansen is joining us from the Alzheimer's Association
45:01
to continue the talk about a program for do what
45:06
you love to end alz Olivia, thank you so much
45:09
for taking a little time out this morning. How are
45:12
you doing.
45:13
Speaker 20: I am good, Thanks to you. Thank you so much
45:15
for having me.
45:16
Speaker 2: Joe.
45:17
Speaker 6: Well, you know, and it's interesting because the Alzheimer's Association
45:21
is almost flies in the face of convention where traditional
45:26
fundraisers will tell you, you know, you have to have some
45:30
very structured things, and you know you have to specific
45:32
and call in. I mean, I just did a telethon yesterday.
45:35
Was still doing telethons and radiothons and things like that,
45:39
But the Alzheimer's Association really threw the paradigm up in
45:42
the air with the Longest Day and some of that,
45:46
And so is that sort of the impetus of this
45:49
do what you love to end Alzheimer's rebranding of the
45:54
Longest Day.
45:56
Speaker 20: I love your viewpoint on that, really alternative view on
46:00
undraising and raising awareness. Yeah, I totally agree. The Longest
46:03
Day was always a fill the gaps kind of program.
46:06
We deal with an unconventional disease and an unconventional population,
46:11
so why not give those folks and the folks that
46:14
care for them the opportunity to raise money and awareness
46:17
in an unconventional way. Right, The Longest Day was around
46:21
for the better part of a decade, and it was
46:22
really in response to that kind of endurance event fundraising
46:28
that got really popular about ten years ago. But now
46:31
we're seeing that, you know, while that is still popular
46:34
and there's still a place for it in fundraising, people
46:36
really just want an opportunity to create community around the
46:40
hobbies and the activities that they enjoy. So the next
46:44
evolution of the Longest Day is do what you love
46:47
to end alls. And we are working with people whose skydive,
46:51
We are working with people who play majong, We are
46:53
working with people who run marathons, play pickleball, turn into artists,
46:58
turn into singers, all for a common cause, to raise funds,
47:03
awareness for care and support for Alzheimer's.
47:06
Speaker 6: Well, you know, if you don't mind the wordplay here,
47:09
you could you could even brand it a little bit
47:11
more glibly, do all to end alls. You know something, you.
47:17
Speaker 20: Know they should have called you up during this rebrand process.
47:21
I told them that nobody knows, but it's not.
47:24
Speaker 6: Just do what you love. And because the Longest Day,
47:27
and one of the things that I liked about it
47:29
from the moment it was first presented to me was
47:32
that it also bears honor to those who care for
47:38
their loved ones, whether it's a spouse or a parent
47:41
or child even And now we're seeing these early onset
47:44
cases of folks suffering Alzheimer's descending that each day is
47:52
like the longest day. My wife and her sister, I mean,
47:55
it's just, you know, there are days it just feels
47:58
like there's no more energy in the tank and you
48:01
keep going on because you love the person who you
48:05
care for. And that was one of the things I
48:07
always loved about The Longest Day, But one of the
48:10
things that grew out of it were some of the campaigns.
48:13
Some of the Longest Day things were built around stuff
48:17
that the loved one you used to love to do,
48:20
whether it's play bridge or a bike. You know. I
48:25
talked to a guy who did a marathon bike tour
48:27
and he hated being on a bicycle, but his wife
48:31
loved bicycling, so he said, you know what, I'm going
48:33
to do a bike tour because my wife loved bicycling.
48:37
And I think that's one of the most poignant parts
48:39
of the Longest Day. Now, the do what you loved
48:43
and alls drive is that is that it's often driven
48:48
by the things that your loved one, your charge has
48:52
lost the most dearly.
48:54
Speaker 20: M Yeah, And something that we see that's really interesting
48:57
is people who have hobbies who were regularly engaging in them,
49:02
especially when they're social hobbies that involve some sort of
49:05
strategy with other people, engagement with other people, they're significantly
49:09
reducing their risk of Alzheimer's in all other forms of
49:12
dementia through engaging in that activity. So it's really a
49:16
twofold campaign. Not only are we supporting Alzheimer's care support
49:19
and research through raising funds and raising awareness, we're supporting
49:24
these creations of communities who were actively reducing their risk.
49:27
And I think that's something really special with this campaign.
49:30
Speaker 6: That's a great point. I hadn't even thought about that,
49:32
and for me to woul admit something like that, Olivia,
49:35
I mean, that's pretty profound. So one of the things
49:40
that had been happening with the Longest Day was people
49:42
were expanding what that meant. It wasn't only on the
49:46
summer solstice, but it was it was whenever they had
49:50
an opportunity, whether it was the Saturday before or at
49:53
a convenient point. So does that also fold into why,
49:57
you know, the rebranding do what you Love to end
50:00
All kind of opens it up to whenever you can
50:03
do it, do it.
50:05
Speaker 20: Yeah, exactly. And it's not to say that The Longest
50:08
Day wasn't an accessible program. It really was, down to
50:11
its core, it was always about doing what you want
50:14
to do, when you want to do it, all for
50:17
the sake of Alzheimer's care supportive research. But Unfortunately it
50:21
made the elevator pitch a little long. Right, of course,
50:23
you know this. Just because the programs called the longest
50:27
day doesn't mean you have to do your event on
50:29
the longest day. Even though the longest day is a summersault,
50:31
isn't it. The elevator pitch is definitely shortened. We really
50:35
love the name of this new campaign. It is not
50:38
necessarily the shortest, but it is the sweetest, and that
50:41
it is exactly what we want this campaign to emanate.
50:44
It is accessible, It is for you when you want it,
50:47
when you need it, exactly how you want it to be.
50:49
Speaker 6: Well, and the Alzheimer's Association has suffered. As I've said,
50:53
you've probably not heard it, Olivia. You're much younger and
50:56
have been spared this story. But I'm going to subject
50:58
my listeners to it. In that in nineteen ninety nine,
51:03
when I first became involved with my local Alzheimer's Association
51:07
chapter and we did what we then called the Memory Walk,
51:10
now the Walk to End Alzheimer's, we had to spend
51:14
forty five percent of the airtime explaining what Alzheimer's was
51:20
and why we're doing You talk about making an elevator pitch,
51:24
you know, difficult, you know, you mean sinility and well
51:28
you know, and so it was, it was just it
51:31
was very challenging there. So I appreciate that. So where
51:35
do people find out more about, you know how you know,
51:38
maybe this inspires them to do something this weekend or
51:42
next weekend.
51:43
Speaker 20: Absolutely, they can learn more at alz dot org slash
51:49
do what you Love.
51:50
Speaker 6: All right, there you go do what you love? Why not?
51:53
You know who wouldn't do what you love? Even if
51:56
it's listening to this program. Although I don't know how
51:58
you monetize that, but to raise the money and talk
52:01
about we have about a minute left, half a minute,
52:04
you know, the monies and what it does to raise
52:07
this money. Olivia.
52:10
Speaker 20: Yeah, well, if if you want to monetize your show, Joe,
52:12
we could do a telethon since it sounds like it's
52:15
your favorite, your favorite thing.
52:17
Speaker 6: Oh I've done I just did this one, yeah, yeah, yesterday.
52:20
But I mean this money to go to the research,
52:22
to go to the support groups and to the twenty
52:27
four hour helpline. Olivia, thank you so much alz dot
