- 0:07Speaker 1: ever been.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
- 0:11Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 0:33Speaker 3: Oh, bless you for joining us on a Ted's Day,
- 0:36Speaker 3: the day that we set aside, and we really do
- 0:39Speaker 3: this every day, but you should, celebrate the gifts that
- 0:45Speaker 3: God has given you, whether you be a butcher, a baker,
- 0:48Speaker 3: or a guitar riff maker. Whatever you have been gifted
- 0:52Speaker 3: to do on this earth, if you know it and
- 0:54Speaker 3: you pursue it zealously, and you share it with your
- 1:00Speaker 3: neighbors unjealously, and they reward you for it considerably, and
- 1:10Speaker 3: then you don't have to worry about what the world
- 1:12Speaker 3: says about you. You don't. And look at Dolly Parton.
- 1:16Speaker 3: When she got assailed a few years ago for redoing
- 1:20Speaker 3: 9 to 5, the famous song from the movie with
- 1:24Speaker 3: Dabney Coleman, whatever, And she redid it for a commercial,
- 1:29Speaker 3: a Super Bowl commercial. And we use it here because,
- 1:33Speaker 3: you know, we're on the air from 5 to 9. So,
- 1:35Speaker 3: you know, when Dolly sings about 5 to 9, then,
- 1:40Speaker 3: you know, obviously, you know, I'm not the sharpest or
- 1:43Speaker 3: deepest end of the pool. Doesn't take a rocket scientist
- 1:51Speaker 3: to say, hey, Joe, maybe you should use that music
- 1:54Speaker 3: bit every now and then. Especially because it was about
- 1:58Speaker 3: figuring out what it is you do and following your
- 2:04Speaker 3: tetanus into the world. And everyone went after her. And
- 2:11Speaker 3: I couldn't believe I lived in a world... I lived
- 2:13Speaker 3: long enough to see the world turn on Dolly Parton,
- 2:17Speaker 3: who passed away yesterday at the age of 80. And
- 2:20Speaker 3: maybe she sat there in Sevierville thinking... Really? This is
- 2:25Speaker 3: what you're going to do? And they went after her
- 2:28Speaker 3: for racism, for patriarchy, saying that taking on a side hustle,
- 2:37Speaker 3: doing the thing that you love to do after you
- 2:39Speaker 3: get home from whatever it is you do to pay
- 2:42Speaker 3: the mortgage is wrong. It's racist. And you know what?
- 2:48Speaker 3: She learned the Tedness lesson that, you know what? If
- 2:52Speaker 3: you do what you do, and you do it for
- 2:54Speaker 3: the right reasons for the right people, you have a
- 2:57Speaker 3: certain inoculation, let's call it that, to the haters who
- 3:03Speaker 3: got to hate. In any event, I hope we all
- 3:07Speaker 3: have the strength to take that kind of heat. And
- 3:11Speaker 3: if you don't know what your tetanus is, I can
- 3:13Speaker 3: help you with that.
- 3:13Speaker 4: 434-882-4217.
- 3:13Speaker 3: First, here are our first things. A lot of runoff
- 3:16Speaker 3: elections yesterday. Senator Darlene Nardone won South Carolina's Republican U.S.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Senate runoff, defeating Congressman Ralph Norman 52.5 percent to 47.5 percent.
- 3:34Speaker 3: President Trump pushing and telling voters in South Carolina, pretend
- 3:39Speaker 3: I'm on the ballot. Annie Andrews waits for Senator Nardone
- 3:44Speaker 3: in the general election in November. In the Republican runoff
- 3:51Speaker 3: for Oklahoma governor, former Oklahoma State Senator Mike Mazzei won
- 3:59Speaker 3: the runoff over Attorney General Gentner Drummond, 50.3% to 49.7%.
- 4:06Speaker 3: President Trump also weighed in on the side of State
- 4:11Speaker 3: Senator Mazzei. His record right now in Senate primaries is unblemished.
- 4:18Speaker 3: On the Democrat side, Everton Blair won a special election
- 4:21Speaker 3: yesterday runoff to serve the remainder of Congressman David Scott's
- 4:26Speaker 3: term in Georgia's 13th congressional district, defeating his daughter, Marcy. Well,
- 4:32Speaker 3: not Marcy Scott. Democratic Socialist Nikila Jasmine Thomas won Oklahoma's
- 4:39Speaker 3: Democrat U.S. Senate runoff yesterday, defeating Minister Jim Priest. No irony.
- 4:46Speaker 3: to advance to a November matchup against Republican Congressman Kevin Hearn.
- 4:52Speaker 3: China flexing yesterday, first pushing back against U.S. sanctions on
- 4:58Speaker 3: their partners and friends in Tehran, saying it will take
- 5:01Speaker 3: steps to protect its own economic interests. Then going and
- 5:08Speaker 3: reaching out to Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine saying, and pledging
- 5:14Speaker 3: strong diplomatic role in ending Russia's invasion of Ukraine. President
- 5:23Speaker 3: Trump said Tuesday the U.S. Navy has cleared all mines
- 5:26Speaker 3: from international waters in the Strait of Hormuz and said
- 5:30Speaker 3: that there would be military consequences if mines started appearing
- 5:36Speaker 3: there again. Congress has received the draft agreement between the
- 5:41Speaker 3: United States and Saudi Arabia on a civil nuclear energy program,
- 5:45Speaker 3: insisting the PAC, President Trump insisted the PAC would be
- 5:49Speaker 3: approved only if Saudi Arabia normalized relations with Israel. And
- 5:58Speaker 3: he's ordered President Trump has American flags to fly at
- 6:01Speaker 3: half-staff in honor of music icon Dolly Parton, who passed
- 6:05Speaker 3: away yesterday. At the age of 80, Canada introduced $ 19. 94
- 6:12Speaker 3: billion in tariffs as well. Our friends at Mesa Verde
- 6:17Speaker 3: Hemp have a great tonic. And I never had tried
- 6:25Speaker 3: CBD oil. And it's one of those things they tell
- 6:30Speaker 3: you about this when you go to the chiropractor the
- 6:32Speaker 3: first time and you didn't know something hurt until he
- 6:35Speaker 3: made it stop hurting. You know, when I started taking
- 6:39Speaker 3: the stuff that Celie sent to us from MesaVerdeHemp.com, I
- 6:43Speaker 3: was like, oh, I knew there were places like my knees,
- 6:47Speaker 3: my shoulders that hurt just from years of abuse. But
- 6:51Speaker 3: there were spots, you know, in my ankles and things.
- 6:53Speaker 3: I didn't know they hurt. I didn't know that it happened.
- 6:56Speaker 3: So anyway, check them out, MesaVerdeHemp.com.
- 7:02Speaker 5: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 7:07Speaker 5: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
- 7:12Speaker 5: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 7:17Speaker 5: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 7:22Speaker 5: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
- 7:27Speaker 5: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 7:31Speaker 5: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 7:35Speaker 5: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

- 9:02Speaker 8: You were strolling along in goodwill. When just past that
- 9:05Speaker 8: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them, nestled
- 9:09Speaker 8: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
- 9:13Speaker 3: Oh, yes!
- 9:15Speaker 9: Yes!
- 9:16Speaker 8: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your

- 9:27Speaker 6: Shh!
- 9:29Speaker 3: Do you smell that?
- 9:30Speaker 9: Shh!
- 9:32Speaker 10: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.

- 9:45Speaker 8: Bring home those donut earrings.
- 9:48Speaker 10: And bring home so.
- 9:49Speaker 7: Much good to your community.
- 9:53Speaker 11: Goodwill.
- 9:54Speaker 8: Bring good home.
- 9:57Speaker 12: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
- 10:02Speaker 12: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
- 10:08Speaker 12: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 10:12Speaker 12: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 10:15Speaker 12: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 10:21Speaker 12: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
- 10:24Speaker 12: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 10:27Speaker 12: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
- 10:32Speaker 12: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
- 10:36Speaker 12: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
- 10:41Speaker 8: Eat better.

- 10:56Speaker 3: disability is not a limitation.

- 11:50Speaker 3: Then probably.
- 11:52Speaker 17: Are you sure we.
- 11:53Speaker 18: Should get matching tattoos on our first date?
- 11:55Speaker 19: Sure.
- 11:57Speaker 20: We'll probably stay together.

- 11:59Speaker 16: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
- 12:03Speaker 3: I can probably swim.
- 12:05Speaker 18: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
- 12:07Speaker 3: Okay, now tell me what to do.
- 12:09Speaker 7: Cannonball!
- 12:11Speaker 19: Cramp!
- 12:12Speaker 7: Oh, I have a cramp.
- 12:16Speaker 13: I can probably hit the green from here.
- 12:19Speaker 3: Probably....
- 12:23Speaker 13: Can I get a mulligan?
- 12:26Speaker 21: Ready to go?
- 12:27Speaker 22: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 12:29Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 12:35Speaker 16: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 12:39Speaker 16: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
- 12:42Speaker 16: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

- 13:12Speaker 2: This is Independence from Virginia, again, first thing today, by
- 13:17Speaker 2: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 13:23Speaker 3: On this Ted's D, Ted Nugent shared this as he
- 13:28Speaker 3: shared the stage with Dolly Parton on the Mike Douglas show,
- 13:33Speaker 3: circa 1980. Oh, I'll be standing on the corner.
- 13:36Speaker 23: Close, straight and by.
- 13:38Speaker 24: Oh, I'll be standing on the corner.
- 13:41Speaker 7: Close, straight and by.
- 13:58Speaker 3: Tedness knows no bounds. And God bless you, Dolly, for
- 14:03Speaker 3: being an example to people who made it. Got us early,
- 14:08Speaker 3: early on in the show. I think this was the very,
- 14:10Speaker 3: very first minutes of today's broadcast. I spent a little
- 14:15Speaker 3: time and I've been rebuffed a little bit. Charlene... was
- 14:21Speaker 3: listening to us at that moment on, was it the
- 14:29Speaker 3: Answer in San Antonio at the time? And she didn't
- 14:34Speaker 3: think it was appropriate. She didn't disagree with me, but
- 14:38Speaker 3: she didn't think it was appropriate that I connect Dolly
- 14:45Speaker 3: Parton to Hayden Panettiere. And, yeah, 9.30, the answer. Okay.
- 14:54Speaker 3: So I appreciate it. She just said San Antonio. But
- 15:01Speaker 3: she didn't say I was wrong to point out that
- 15:04Speaker 3: Dolly certainly had, you know, at some point been marginalized.
- 15:09Speaker 3: And you got to go way back. I mean, we're
- 15:12Speaker 3: talking about a career that's lasted 60 plus years. So
- 15:20Speaker 3: think about the world we were in 60 years ago.
- 15:23Speaker 3: We had just started the Great Society. Who knew we
- 15:26Speaker 3: had become a Marxist country, one of the few remaining
- 15:29Speaker 3: now on the planet, right? We were just in the
- 15:32Speaker 3: early days of the Great Society. The Woodstock hadn't happened yet.
- 15:41Speaker 3: And here's this 18-year-old blonde girl in Nashville. What do
- 15:46Speaker 3: you think she's getting treated like? And a lot of
- 15:49Speaker 3: people made a lot of hay about how and those
- 15:52Speaker 3: who remain behind in the female, young female acting world,
- 15:58Speaker 3: like was the one we were talking about yesterday. Not relevant,
- 16:02Speaker 3: but there's eight, nine, ten of them now. We're all
- 16:05Speaker 3: coming out saying the Hollywood industry is to blame for
- 16:09Speaker 3: whatever issues Hayden Panettiere was having.
- 16:12Speaker 22: Right.
- 16:15Speaker 3: Which, along with the fact that there was Narcan in
- 16:17Speaker 3: her house, makes you wonder about what went on on
- 16:21Speaker 3: her last days. But Dolly Parton faced the same kind
- 16:24Speaker 3: of headwinds, that typecasting, pigeonholing that you always get. I
- 16:32Speaker 3: remember the first time I sat down behind a microphone
- 16:35Speaker 3: on a talk radio station and I chuckled about the
- 16:38Speaker 3: fact that I had always been criticized by the programmers
- 16:43Speaker 3: in my music career for talking too much. I would
- 16:47Speaker 3: take a phone call from a listener that went on
- 16:50Speaker 3: longer than they thought. Just ask him what song he
- 16:53Speaker 3: wants to hear and play the song. Well, I mean,
- 16:55Speaker 3: he was doing something interesting. Whatever. I always had been
- 16:59Speaker 3: criticized by my bosses in music radio for talking too much,
- 17:03Speaker 3: but now all of a sudden, I didn't have eight
- 17:07Speaker 3: or six songs an hour to hide behind. If something
- 17:11Speaker 3: wasn't working on the air, I couldn't just play the
- 17:14Speaker 3: latest Matchbox 20 song and hide behind it. You have
- 17:19Speaker 3: to challenge yourself and do those things because otherwise people
- 17:23Speaker 3: are like, oh, he can't do talk radio. He's a
- 17:25Speaker 3: rock and roll DJ. And you face it, too. There's
- 17:31Speaker 3: a lot of times in industry and business, somebody says, oh, well,
- 17:35Speaker 3: Joe's very good at paperwork. So just keep him in
- 17:39Speaker 3: jobs that paper don't make him an executive. He doesn't
- 17:42Speaker 3: know how to manage people because you've never been asked
- 17:45Speaker 3: to manage people. And it's hard. It's hard because there
- 17:49Speaker 3: are people who are good leaders and are people who
- 17:51Speaker 3: are good followers. And the nature of a free market
- 17:54Speaker 3: is you find that place where you are. And follower
- 17:57Speaker 3: has a bad connotation, and I'm sorry that it does,
- 18:01Speaker 3: because not everybody invents the better mousetrap. Most of us
- 18:06Speaker 3: are going to live our lives working for the guy
- 18:08Speaker 3: or gal who invented the better mousetrap, because in a
- 18:13Speaker 3: free market, that's our choice. Hey, I like what this
- 18:18Speaker 3: guy does, or he does something everyone else does, but
- 18:21Speaker 3: I like the way he does it, and I'm going
- 18:22Speaker 3: to choose to go work for him. And this is
- 18:25Speaker 3: what drove the social aspect of American exceptionalism, our American
- 18:33Speaker 3: exceptionalist economy was driven by the fact that we could
- 18:37Speaker 3: choose who we worked for. And we are breakneck pace
- 18:42Speaker 3: towards losing that. Good morning. You're on the air with Joe.
- 18:45Speaker 3: First thing this morning, who's this?
- 18:47Speaker 25: Good morning, Joe.
- 18:49Speaker 3: It's Joel.
- 18:49Speaker 15: I had my, uh, five cents today, but, uh, I
- 18:53Speaker 15: just wanted to say this out of respect for Dolly Parton.
- 18:55Speaker 15: I know I sent you right away, oh, you know,
- 18:57Speaker 15: Dolly Parton passed, and I know you're connected to the news,
- 19:00Speaker 15: but I know sometimes you're probably doing a lot of
- 19:02Speaker 15: other things, and that's why I sent that to you
- 19:04Speaker 15: in the afternoon. But I think, and I'm not saying
- 19:09Speaker 15: I think, but Dolly Parton was part of showing what,
- 19:15Speaker 15: not just carrying the cross, but she held it up,
- 19:19Speaker 15: and her life was an example of.
- 19:22Speaker 3: How to be.
- 19:25Speaker 15: A person that is an example of Jesus in the
- 19:30Speaker 15: sense that with her troubles in her past, she didn't
- 19:34Speaker 15: let it ruin her. She brought her music. She brought
- 19:41Speaker 15: her music. She brought enlightenment to people. And I love
- 19:44Speaker 15: the blues.
- 19:44Speaker 24: I love the.
- 19:45Speaker 15: That was great. Kareem sent that. you know, with.
- 19:48Speaker 3: Yeah, I had no idea. Actually, Ted Nugent posted it from,
- 19:52Speaker 3: I guess, his archives there. But you're right about it.
- 19:55Speaker 3: And I want to extrapolate on that because there are
- 19:58Speaker 3: people who believe that you have to go El Cabang
- 20:02Speaker 3: on your faith. And I used the guitar because Dolly
- 20:06Speaker 3: used a guitar like El Cabang used to, the cartoon character.
- 20:10Speaker 3: If you don't know who El Cabang is, you have
- 20:12Speaker 3: to go. Well, you do. But I would say Google
- 20:15Speaker 3: El Cabang and you'll see that his weapon of choice
- 20:19Speaker 3: was whacking you over the head with his guitar. But
- 20:26Speaker 3: it's leadership by example. She didn't sit there and say
- 20:30Speaker 3: you have to believe in Jesus and this is the
- 20:33Speaker 3: way to do it. She said, this is how you
- 20:35Speaker 3: believe in Jesus and watch me do it and pattern
- 20:40Speaker 3: in your own way how you walk in those footsteps.
- 20:44Speaker 3: And I think that's a great point, Joel, is that
- 20:48Speaker 3: that's the example that we should be having, taking from
- 20:52Speaker 3: her life is that this is how we should be
- 20:55Speaker 3: striving to be when it comes to following our faith.
- 21:00Speaker 15: And one of the things I didn't know, Because I
- 21:02Speaker 15: don't try to I mean, I try to learn and
- 21:05Speaker 15: understand people. But one of the things I heard yesterday
- 21:08Speaker 15: was on Live Fox. They were talking about how I
- 21:11Speaker 15: guess her and her husband were married 59, 60 years.
- 21:15Speaker 15: But during that time, she couldn't have any children. And
- 21:17Speaker 15: I don't want to get into all the examples of
- 21:19Speaker 15: what the reason was, but but for her to try
- 21:23Speaker 15: to help. youth by education, because once you with books
- 21:28Speaker 15: and learning and, and, and Dollywood and having fun and
- 21:31Speaker 15: experiencing happiness, which I think a lot of times, I mean,
- 21:35Speaker 15: I struggle with it, but with happiness and finding and
- 21:39Speaker 15: finding meaning in life, not just, not just by, by, by, by,
- 21:44Speaker 15: by show, by shows, you know, by, by, by example,
- 21:47Speaker 15: but you can't take away an education and the, and
- 21:50Speaker 15: having a book because now everything's electronic.
- 21:53Speaker 19: Right.

- 23:10Speaker 21: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
- 23:14Speaker 21: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
- 23:17Speaker 21: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
- 23:21Speaker 3: That's what you should use.
- 23:22Speaker 7: But there are.
- 23:22Speaker 21: Exceptions to the rule. Many high-end or luxury vehicles call
- 23:26Speaker 21: for premium or higher octane fuel. And the reason for
- 23:29Speaker 21: this is not just due to the octane rating. There
- 23:31Speaker 21: are better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know, too,
- 23:35Speaker 21: that vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
- 23:38Speaker 21: with carbon deposits. so they pack more cleaning power into
- 23:41Speaker 21: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
- 23:44Speaker 21: your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful, you may
- 23:47Speaker 21: find better performance and miles per gallon because you are
- 23:50Speaker 21: cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive. Just
- 23:53Speaker 21: don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them anytime soon.
- 23:56Speaker 21: With your automotive prescription, I'm Ron Anany and the Car Doctor.
- 23:59Speaker 21: See you next time.
- 24:04Speaker 5: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 24:09Speaker 5: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
- 24:14Speaker 5: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 24:18Speaker 5: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
- 24:23Speaker 5: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
- 24:28Speaker 5: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 24:33Speaker 5: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 24:36Speaker 5: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 24:40Speaker 5: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
- 24:42Speaker 5: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
- 24:47Speaker 5: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

- 28:28Speaker 3: the ThinkPad, it is... It is a Mac, actually, kind of, yeah.
- 28:32Speaker 3: There's irony in that. But anyway, he's got all the
- 28:37Speaker 3: sports news. And, you know, it's interesting, and I'm sure
- 28:41Speaker 3: there is. I just, I went looking for different milieus
- 28:44Speaker 3: that Dolly Parton's life had, you know, touched and... You know,
- 28:48Speaker 3: the sports world, not so much. I mean, I expected, like,
- 28:51Speaker 3: she owned a sports team or something, I thought, at
- 28:54Speaker 3: some point. Yeah, she had college football appearances.
- 28:57Speaker 24: She appeared with Peyton Manning at a Tennessee game and
- 29:00Speaker 24: sang Rocky Top. She did halftime shows. She had a
- 29:03Speaker 24: sponsorship of Tyler Reddick during the Xfinity years.
- 29:08Speaker 3: Really?
- 29:10Speaker 24: Yeah, he put her Dollywood in a pink paint scheme
- 29:16Speaker 24: or whatever. In 20, what was it, 2023, the Dallas
- 29:20Speaker 24: Cowboys Thanksgiving, 77 years old, she put on an iconic
- 29:25Speaker 24: full cover Cowboys cheerleader outfit.
- 29:28Speaker 3: No way.
- 29:29Speaker 24: Yeah, if you find that picture. Yeah, if you find
- 29:32Speaker 24: the photo. Yeah, Dolly was, yeah, Dolly, she likes sports, whatever.
- 29:37Speaker 24: You know, I was thinking.
- 29:40Speaker 24: The attorney, we're talking about the attorneys now stepping into this.
- 29:44Speaker 24: It's going to be a big attorney day for the
- 29:45Speaker 24: next couple of days. Totally overshadowing week zero and what's
- 29:48Speaker 24: really happening in college football. And so can you imagine
- 29:52Speaker 24: being the handling the Dolly Dolly Parton estate?
- 29:57Speaker 3: You know, being an attorney, you know, you know, I
- 29:59Speaker 3: kind of have a feeling that Dolly was the kind
- 30:01Speaker 3: of person where there's not a lot of lawyering up.
- 30:05Speaker 3: I'll bet you she had a living trust.
- 30:07Speaker 24: Yeah, she had a couple guys probably.
- 30:08Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'll bet you her estate takes about five
- 30:11Speaker 3: minutes to close.
- 30:13Speaker 25: Yeah, maybe.
- 30:13Speaker 3: You could be right. My dad was that way. Everything was,
- 30:19Speaker 3: when he passed away, we walked into the funeral home office.
- 30:23Speaker 3: The guy put a date on the form, notarized it.
- 30:26Speaker 3: He says, there, that's it. It's done. Everything had been
- 30:30Speaker 3: figured out. You know, all the arrangements, it was just
- 30:33Speaker 3: left for us to sit.
- 30:35Speaker 24: Yeah, my dad, my dad, my dad had two things
- 30:37Speaker 24: that I that I really, really wanted. He had a
- 30:40Speaker 24: golf digest autographed by Bob Hope because he played a show.
- 30:44Speaker 24: He played a show with Bob Hope in the Iowa
- 30:46Speaker 24: State Fair. And then when I got pushed away as
- 30:50Speaker 24: a 12-year-old kid by Mickey Mantle in the lobby, nine
- 30:52Speaker 24: years later, I eventually got Mickey's autograph, put it on
- 30:55Speaker 24: an Amana hat, which used to be the first major
- 30:57Speaker 24: sponsorship in golf. And my mom gave both of those
- 31:01Speaker 24: away to a neighbor. And I was just– I was
- 31:04Speaker 24: so freaked. What are you going to tell your mom, right?
- 31:08Speaker 3: She just lost– Her husband, yeah. 60 years and so anyway.
- 31:12Speaker 5: All right.
- 31:12Speaker 3: The SEC– Lawyers. Yeah, lawyers.
- 31:15Speaker 24: Let's talk lawyers because they're going to be working today
- 31:18Speaker 24: over time. The SEC has come forward now. Commissioner Greg Sankey,
- 31:23Speaker 24: full power authority to enforce guidelines. And following the Big
- 31:26Speaker 24: Ten's lead, the Southeastern Conference presidents and ADs unanimously said, no,
- 31:32Speaker 24: NFL players cannot return.
- 31:34Speaker 3: To college sports.
- 31:35Speaker 24: Now, however, the SEC took it a step further talking
- 31:38Speaker 24: about basketball guys because of the R.L.
- 31:41Speaker 3: Ruiz Jr. thing I discussed yesterday. So now, because.
- 31:45Speaker 24: The ACC is meeting today, the Big 12 is going
- 31:49Speaker 24: to issue a statement today. And so Greg Sankey is there.
- 31:53Speaker 3: With full power going, look, we have– A ton of issues.
- 31:56Speaker 27: Whether we like it or not, Congress does have the
- 31:59Speaker 27: ability to set national standards. Now, whether it will or not,
- 32:02Speaker 27: that's a pretty tough proposition in this political environment. And
- 32:05Speaker 27: so it's the then what. We have roughly 21 different sports.
- 32:10Speaker 27: And people will suggest, hey, let's just separate one out
- 32:12Speaker 27: and everything else will be fine. That's not the reality
- 32:16Speaker 27: we occupy. So the ability to have national standards really
- 32:20Speaker 27: becomes a central conversation because some of these sports... are
- 32:25Speaker 27: not going to go quietly when you say, let's just
- 32:27Speaker 27: separate out football and we'll deal with these others under
- 32:31Speaker 27: some old model.
- 32:32Speaker 24: Yeah, so because of the 2022 ruling, lacrosse, softball, soccer,
- 32:40Speaker 24: they're also welcoming back People who have committed to professional
- 32:44Speaker 24: rosters and may not be playing right now because of
- 32:47Speaker 24: the 2022 rule. Lane Kiffin was on the talk show
- 32:51Speaker 24: circuit yesterday. And Lane said, look, we didn't do anything
- 32:55Speaker 24: that any other coach is doing because of, and it's
- 32:59Speaker 24: a one-time thing. It'll never really happen again because of
- 33:03Speaker 24: what the judges said about 2022.
- 33:06Speaker 23: And I said to our staff, I said, whoever the
- 33:09Speaker 23: first player commits to is going to be the poster
- 33:12Speaker 23: child for this, for, for following this injunction. And so,
- 33:17Speaker 23: you know, the player chose us and a lot of
- 33:19Speaker 23: people were recruiting them. A lot of people were offering
- 33:20Speaker 23: them a lot of money and he decided to come
- 33:22Speaker 23: play for us. And so, You know, we were happy,
- 33:25Speaker 23: but I realized this was going to come with it too.
- 33:27Speaker 24: Yeah, and I love college football coaches who'd love to
- 33:30Speaker 24: talk morality, especially in the name image like this, and
- 33:34Speaker 24: that's what Manny Diaz, he came forward yesterday during his
- 33:37Speaker 24: weekly press conference, and he said that the roster limit
- 33:40Speaker 24: of 105 makes a difference, and there is a morality
- 33:43Speaker 24: issue to the kids who have worked and have a
- 33:47Speaker 24: roster spot.
- 33:48Speaker 26: I think there's morale issues. You know, there's real life consequences.
- 33:51Speaker 26: This is not pro sports where we just, you know,
- 33:53Speaker 26: we checked the waiver wire and we just cut a
- 33:55Speaker 26: dude and bring a dude in. That's just not, it's
- 33:57Speaker 26: not why anybody, in my opinion, signed up to be
- 33:59Speaker 26: a college football coach. And I said, there's a lot
- 34:01Speaker 26: of things that have changed over the course of time and,
- 34:04Speaker 26: you know, not all bad, but, but at our, at
- 34:07Speaker 26: our core, there are certain things we just have to
- 34:08Speaker 26: believe in.
- 34:09Speaker 3: It's not pro sports. Did I just hear that? Does
- 34:13Speaker 3: he not have a name image like his director?
- 34:16Speaker 24: I mean, you know, he got involved in that Darryl
- 34:19Speaker 24: Mensah deal who ended up in Miami.
- 34:21Speaker 3: You know, he had Mensah first. They didn't pay him enough.
- 34:24Speaker 24: He transferred to Miami for a boatload.
- 34:27Speaker 3: And, you know, so.
- 34:29Speaker 24: We're just still in the whole discussion of we're trying
- 34:33Speaker 24: to keep college athletics like, you know, hey, win one.
- 34:37Speaker 3: For the Gipper. I found out, and I'm not going
- 34:42Speaker 3: to name names, but I found out that there was
- 34:45Speaker 3: a major college sports program that has decided that they're
- 34:50Speaker 3: going to start where I guess that the rights for
- 34:55Speaker 3: their broadcast or association with their team were just something
- 35:00Speaker 3: that was worked out in exchange for that.
- 35:03Speaker 25: No, no, no.
- 35:04Speaker 3: Now it's just straight commerce and you've got to pay
- 35:06Speaker 3: up front for access to the team to call yourself
- 35:09Speaker 3: the official blah, blah, blah. This is the goose that
- 35:16Speaker 3: lays the golden egg is not feeling good right now.
- 35:19Speaker 3: She's bedridden. Yeah, exactly.
- 35:25Speaker 18: The goose is looking for a bottle of goose.
- 35:28Speaker 24: So that's probably exactly what.
- 35:32Speaker 3: She's gone from the golden goose to the gray goose.
- 35:34Speaker 24: Golden goose to gray goose.
- 35:36Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
- 35:37Speaker 24: So just trying to figure things out.
- 35:38Speaker 3: And I think.
- 35:41Speaker 24: The whole thing now is interesting to.
- 35:43Speaker 3: Me regarding the whole 2022. Look, a judge said.
- 35:48Speaker 24: These people deserve a fifth year. And so, but it's just,
- 35:52Speaker 24: it's gone on and on and on.
- 35:53Speaker 3: Yeah, but that was a specific because they lost a
- 35:56Speaker 3: year in COVID. So, you know, it's like those lacrosse
- 36:00Speaker 3: players in Duke. And I understood that they were given
- 36:03Speaker 3: an extra year because the girl made up a lie
- 36:06Speaker 3: and they got persecuted for nothing. But that didn't turn
- 36:10Speaker 3: into a precedent where all these other people were going
- 36:13Speaker 3: around getting it. It was clearly understood. It's this bunch
- 36:17Speaker 3: of guys from this team. It doesn't expand to everyone else.
- 36:22Speaker 3: But I guess you can... This is why we can't
- 36:25Speaker 3: have nice stuff is the expression.
- 36:27Speaker 24: And so that's why it's so refreshing. And the Phoenix City,
- 36:31Speaker 24: Alabama girl, Kenley Rasmus, who plays shortstop maybe better than
- 36:36Speaker 24: Derek Jeter ever thought about. She made a couple of
- 36:40Speaker 24: she had a couple of tough ground balls, but she
- 36:43Speaker 24: made a couple of great plays yesterday. She got her
- 36:45Speaker 24: fifth hit. which no girl in Little League World Series
- 36:49Speaker 24: has ever done it. She got the question yesterday, just
- 36:52Speaker 24: like out in the open, are you excited about playing
- 36:56Speaker 24: high school and college softball?
- 36:58Speaker 3: And she said, I can't wait.
- 37:01Speaker 24: But they have people who don't even know Kenley Rasmus
- 37:05Speaker 24: from Phoenix City, pitcher, shortstop, who don't really even know
- 37:08Speaker 24: who she is. I mean, they know her because they're
- 37:10Speaker 24: traveling to go to Portsmouth, and it's the team, and
- 37:15Speaker 24: they're still in the elimination round.
- 37:16Speaker 3: The team has a slogan, win one for the bow.
- 37:20Speaker 24: Bow power because of the bow in her hair.
- 37:23Speaker 9: Nice.
- 37:23Speaker 24: And people in the stands who really are not part
- 37:26Speaker 24: of Phoenix City, they're wearing bows.
- 37:28Speaker 3: These little girls are wearing what Kinley is.
- 37:30Speaker 24: And Kinley is just an absolute sweetheart handling interviews and
- 37:36Speaker 24: whatever and plays great. play shortstop like you've never seen. Anyway,
- 37:40Speaker 24: they play again today. Iowa plays at 3 o'clock, so
- 37:43Speaker 24: I'm glad I'm absorbed with this. The true future of, well,
- 37:47Speaker 24: at least for now, they're.
- 37:49Speaker 3: 12 years old. And no 25-year-old Cubans pitching in?
- 37:52Speaker 24: No, not right now.

- 40:33Speaker 22: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
- 40:38Speaker 22: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
- 40:42Speaker 22: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
- 40:45Speaker 22: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
- 40:50Speaker 22: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
- 40:53Speaker 22: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
- 40:57Speaker 22: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
- 41:00Speaker 22: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
- 41:05Speaker 8: I'm Dr.
- 41:05Speaker 22: Susan Rehm of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. When
- 41:08Speaker 22: I speak with my patients, I urge them to get
- 41:10Speaker 22: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
- 41:14Speaker 22: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
- 41:18Speaker 22: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
- 41:20Speaker 22: adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,

- 43:15Speaker 13: Which freedom can you live without? Fortunately, the First Amendment

- 43:53Speaker 18: from NHTSA and the Ad Council.
- 43:55Speaker 25: Radio. It's on.
- 43:57Speaker 9: It's on.
- 44:21Speaker 2: For you, from Joe Thomas, it's first thing today. Don't
- 44:24Speaker 2: you dare, don't.
- 44:28Speaker 17: You tread.
- 44:33Speaker 3: On me.
- 44:41Speaker 19: Don't.
- 44:44Speaker 3: So a couple of folks have asked, are you going
- 44:46Speaker 3: to talk about the primary results, the runoff election, Joe? Yes, yes. Well,
- 44:52Speaker 3: it's in our first things. And I said at the onset,
- 44:58Speaker 3: I said mea culpa. I was incorrect in my assumption
- 45:02Speaker 3: that Darlene Nardone would fall to Congressman Norman.
- 45:08Speaker 25: I mean, it's a fact. I'm not being critical.
- 45:10Speaker 9: It's just.
- 45:11Speaker 25: The PACs that were against, to me, freedom. It's Democrats.
- 45:18Speaker 25: They wanted their, they got what they wanted. I get that. But,
- 45:25Speaker 25: you know, the president got involved. He has that right.
- 45:28Speaker 25: That's his prerogative. As I told, I never, well, y'all,
- 45:34Speaker 25: his policies are good. I never understood why he got
- 45:38Speaker 25: in this race to beat, you know, but. It is
- 45:43Speaker 25: what it is, and I'll accept it. We will— something good— and
- 45:48Speaker 25: I've always said something good will come out of this.
- 45:51Speaker 25: I don't know what it is, but something good will
- 45:55Speaker 25: come out of it.
- 45:56Speaker 3: You know, I appreciate the congressman saying that because that's
- 46:01Speaker 3: what— unfortunately, life doesn't get portrayed that way. And if
- 46:06Speaker 3: you watch a lot of coverage of his speech— They
- 46:10Speaker 3: play the clip where he talks about Trump and the
- 46:12Speaker 3: crowd boos because that's what the press likes. They don't
- 46:17Speaker 3: want to hear a guy saying something good will come
- 46:19Speaker 3: of this. And an independent person running for Congress is
- 46:25Speaker 3: not a problem. And Darlene Nardone may have that outsider's
- 46:37Speaker 3: ability to tell the swamp creatures that run around D.C.
- 46:43Speaker 3: and get themselves hired in rotation with various... Oh, I
- 46:47Speaker 3: was the chief of staff of this committee. I was
- 46:52Speaker 3: chief of staff for this congressman. I ran the Office
- 46:55Speaker 3: of Legislative Affairs for this group. And they circle... They
- 46:59Speaker 3: just recycle each other.
- 47:01Speaker 9: And.
- 47:12Speaker 3: So they are the ones that you need to protect
- 47:18Speaker 3: yourself from. And I wanted to take a quick special
- 47:29Speaker 3: point to go back into the results because I had
- 47:44Speaker 3: said that Darlene Nardone might have capped out at her
- 47:49Speaker 3: 32% of the votes from the special primary. And she
- 47:53Speaker 3: received 109, almost 110,000 votes. Ralph Norman got 82,627 votes.
- 47:55Speaker 3: That was in the jungle runoff primary with, you know,
- 47:57Speaker 3: Russell Frye and all the other folks, Mark Sanford and
- 47:58Speaker 3: Mark Lynch and bunch of other people not named Mark
- 48:14Speaker 3: that were all in, there were three Marks. But she
- 48:25Speaker 3: did actually increase by, I think, about 80,000 votes. She
- 48:31Speaker 3: did receive 80,000 more votes than she did in the original,
- 48:36Speaker 3: because that was a question I had. So she won
- 48:38Speaker 3: the runoff. Did she get more votes? And the question
- 48:45Speaker 3: for South Carolinians is, will she stand up to the swamp?
- 48:50Speaker 3: And Ralph Norman's been in the swamp a long time.
- 48:53Speaker 3: And somebody said, well, how do you campaign against that
- 48:57Speaker 3: kind of thing? You say, well, here's all the instances
- 49:00Speaker 3: I stood up to the career politician. But if you
- 49:05Speaker 3: don't have a lot of those, then you sort of
- 49:08Speaker 3: just go with the I know how to get things
- 49:10Speaker 3: done here argument. And it hasn't really turned into anything good,
- 49:19Speaker 3: this whole recycling people. I know how to get things
- 49:22Speaker 3: done here. I'm fine with sending outsiders. Don't misunderstand. I
- 49:27Speaker 3: didn't think that Darlene Nardone was that kind of outsider.
- 49:38Speaker 3: President Trump obviously disagreed with me. And nobody, bar nobody,
- 49:44Speaker 3: we saw it in the Georgia runoff where the Congressman's
- 49:50Speaker 3: daughter had been appointed to run in his seat and
- 49:56Speaker 3: the voters in 13th district said, nah, I don't think so.
- 50:03Speaker 3: We don't go with the in lieu of flowers, send votes.
- 50:14Speaker 3: But if Darlene Nardone is going to stand up for
- 50:17Speaker 3: South Carolinians, then let's give her a round of applause
- 50:24Speaker 3: because the Senate needs more people like this. Mazzei in Oklahoma,
- 50:29Speaker 3: another presidential Trump endorsee, wins. And Ted Cruz said something yesterday, interesting,
- 50:38Speaker 3: he was talking about a reformation of the Republican Party
- 50:47Speaker 3: after President Trump is gone, done with his term. And
- 50:57Speaker 3: I think you're seeing it happening, whether anyone organizes it
- 51:05Speaker 3: or not. He told supporters the Republican Party could embrace
- 51:10Speaker 3: a directional shift, Cruz ally of the president and all,
- 51:19Speaker 3: said that the 2028 election is going to make the
- 51:24Speaker 3: party do some soul-searching to find its way forward. Going forward,
- 51:29Speaker 3: he said, we're in the midst of a debate about
- 51:31Speaker 3: who our party is and what we believe. And I
- 51:35Speaker 3: think economically we've got to debate, and are we small government,
- 51:40Speaker 3: free market, conservative party, or are we the big government,
- 51:43Speaker 3: nanny state party? And Cruz is right about calling this
- 51:50Speaker 3: out because there are Republicans who are quite fine with
- 51:56Speaker 3: big government as long as it is doing the things
- 51:59Speaker 3: that are emblazoned on the planks of their party ticket.
- 52:05Speaker 3: And I think there are Democrats who look for the
- 52:10Speaker 3: free market as well. And maybe that's where if there
- 52:15Speaker 3: was to be a new party, you get those people.
- 52:18Speaker 3: It becomes an economic party rather than an ideological party.
- 52:29Speaker 3: And he warned, he said that the battle for the
- 52:33Speaker 3: GOP nomination in 2028 is going to really strain the
- 52:38Speaker 3: binds and the bounds that are already teetered in the
- 52:43Speaker 3: Republican Party often because there are people who don't like
- 52:47Speaker 3: Donald Trump and they don't want him as their standard bearer.
- 52:51Speaker 3: You know, it's true.
- 52:52Speaker 20: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
- 52:55Speaker 20: to think about what matters most when it comes to
- 52:57Speaker 20: our spending, our healthcare. This is why so many people
