- 0:05Speaker 1: You're one side of quick at that much. Let's call
- 0:08Speaker 1: a question because I've had a hundred to do list.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Putting the radio on is the first thing today?
- 0:13Speaker 3: Jew words that steal me step you have a day
- 0:18Speaker 3: at least for work when the sun comes up, drops
- 0:21Speaker 3: a kid.
- 0:21Speaker 4: Into school at night.
- 0:22Speaker 3: The way I think Joe has everything a jam do

- 0:40Speaker 6: I want to be Joe.
- 0:44Speaker 1: You know what we do here. We'll tell you what
- 0:46Speaker 1: went on last night. We'll give you our analysis of it.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Surely don't call me Shirley, call me though at four
- 0:53Speaker 1: three four eight eight two four two one seven. And
- 0:57Speaker 1: also text message that I say all so almost ironically,
- 1:02Speaker 1: because nine out of ten participants in First Thing Today
- 1:07Speaker 1: by Joe Thomas do so by text message because it's
- 1:10Speaker 1: just a time constraint thing. I know how mornings are,
- 1:14Speaker 1: but I want you to participate. So we set up
- 1:17Speaker 1: a text line so you can haula backplayer, hit voice
- 1:21Speaker 1: to text however you want to do it. Be careful,
- 1:23Speaker 1: though voice to text doesn't always grock your regionalisms there,
- 1:29Speaker 1: so sometimes I might be getting the wrong implication of
- 1:33Speaker 1: what you're saying, So give it an eyeball before you
- 1:35Speaker 1: hit send. You can also send emails to JT in
- 1:39Speaker 1: the Morning Radio at gmail dot com at Kristin Welker
- 1:46Speaker 1: decided to air that clip on Meet the Press to
- 1:53Speaker 1: gain gravity for herself. The whole thing is, you know,
- 1:57Speaker 1: builds up to the crescendo of President Trump walking off
- 2:03Speaker 1: the set, but it all involves and revolves around her
- 2:07Speaker 1: questioning regarding the twenty twenty election, and if you'll finally
- 2:12Speaker 1: put aside this idea that the twenty twenty election was stolen, which, again,
- 2:20Speaker 1: to be fair, the president has used words like stolen
- 2:23Speaker 1: and rigged and all things that the press wants to
- 2:27Speaker 1: use as proof positive. If you will that he's lying,
- 2:33Speaker 1: he might not be using the same phrase a lawyer
- 2:35Speaker 1: would tell him to use. He's not lying, he is
- 2:40Speaker 1: the same thing. Have we gotten to a point where
- 2:44Speaker 1: everybody needs an attorney on retainer for anything you say?
- 2:49Speaker 1: I just came back from a conference of talk radio
- 2:53Speaker 1: show hosts, and it seems like everyone there does, because
- 2:59Speaker 1: a whole, a whole lot of the people there were
- 3:01Speaker 1: saying things to me that they don't say on the air.
- 3:10Speaker 1: But to that end, let us begin our first things, and,
- 3:14Speaker 1: believe it or not, our first things do not include
- 3:17Speaker 1: the President walking off the set of Meet the Press.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Seven point eight magnitude earthquake has rocked the Southern Philippines
- 3:26Speaker 1: earlier this morning. Death toll right now already at nineteen people.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Two hundred others injured in damaged buildings General Santo. The
- 3:41Speaker 1: city of General Santos was the center square of the
- 3:46Speaker 1: earthquake and most damaged there. A three foot tsunami was
- 3:50Speaker 1: started as well. Smaller waves measured in Indonesia and Palau,
- 3:55Speaker 1: as well as in southern Japan. Israel and Iran traded
- 4:00Speaker 1: missile fire Monday and retaliatory strikes that threatened to drag
- 4:05Speaker 1: the Middle East back into a regional war. Iran closed
- 4:08Speaker 1: the airspace around the Imam Khomeni International Airport after Israeli strikes.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Yemen's Huti Revel was also fired into Israel and that
- 4:21Speaker 1: Israel affiliated ships in the hail. Tehran has warned of
- 4:27Speaker 1: retaliation after Israel struck Beirut's southern suburbs at the end
- 4:32Speaker 1: of last week, approaching one week since the voting began
- 4:38Speaker 1: in California's primary, Nithya Raman has moved ahead by just
- 4:43Speaker 1: a scant few votes. As the curing process continues in
- 4:47Speaker 1: Los Angeles in the race for the second slot on
- 4:50Speaker 1: November's ballot in the race for Mayor of Los Angeles
- 4:55Speaker 1: against incumbent Karen Bass. Federal lawsuit looking to halt the
- 5:00Speaker 1: upcoming UFC fight cart on the White House South Lawn
- 5:04Speaker 1: in a mixed martial arts show timed for President Trump's
- 5:07Speaker 1: eightieth birthday and part of the celebration of the nation's
- 5:10Speaker 1: two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, was filed Saturday by the
- 5:14Speaker 1: Public Integrity Project on behalf of two Virginia residents contending
- 5:19Speaker 1: the Trump administration's authorization of the June fourteenth event was unlawful.
- 5:24Speaker 1: The lawsuit says such approved such approval violated the National
- 5:30Speaker 1: Park Service regulations prohibiting sporting events on federal parklands, and
- 5:38Speaker 1: before he walked off the set of meat the press,
- 5:41Speaker 1: he dismissed the argument by Kristen Welker that his missile
- 5:47Speaker 1: strikes in Iran betrayed his refrain of no new wars
- 5:51Speaker 1: during the campaign, and those are some of our First
- 5:55Speaker 1: Things this morning here on the talk media network.
- 6:07Speaker 7: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co host of Foster and
- 6:09Speaker 7: Friends and former Virginia Tech football coach.
- 6:12Speaker 1: When I brought the.
- 6:13Speaker 7: Fame lunch fail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
- 6:16Speaker 7: word win stood for what's important. Now, the Lunch Pail
- 6:20Speaker 7: Defense Foundation realizes the importance of helping others. Our foundation

- 7:01Speaker 8: You know, a lot of times you have to choose
- 7:03Speaker 8: between something high quality or something that saves you money.
- 7:07Speaker 8: But what if you could get both? Why not, especially
- 7:09Speaker 8: when it comes to healthcare, and that is meta share,
- 7:12Speaker 8: you get both. Many families save five hundred bucks a
- 7:16Speaker 8: month with meta share and that's huge. But it's also
- 7:19Speaker 8: true that people wind up way more satisfied too, and
- 7:21Speaker 8: we know this from research of members. There's a lot
- 7:24Speaker 8: they like about medshare, but especially they love being part
- 7:28Speaker 8: of something they believe in, and Metashare works too.
- 7:31Speaker 2: It has for more.

- 8:03Speaker 10: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13Speaker 10: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 10: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 10:00Speaker 6: It's always a boy growing up on a farm in Tennessee,
- 10:02Speaker 6: I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only in awe
- 10:05Speaker 6: of their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
- 10:08Speaker 6: Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
- 10:11Speaker 6: or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
- 10:14Speaker 6: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
- 10:17Speaker 6: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
- 10:20Speaker 6: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
- 10:22Speaker 6: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
- 10:25Speaker 6: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
- 10:28Speaker 6: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 10:32Speaker 6: they also perform life saving work every day.
- 10:34Speaker 12: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 6: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
- 10:39Speaker 6: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:41Speaker 6: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44Speaker 6: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
- 10:47Speaker 6: in need. So please join me an American Humane and

- 13:16Speaker 2: The First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk
- 13:23Speaker 2: Media Network.
- 13:24Speaker 21: I have an objection because ten of the twenty nine
- 13:28Speaker 21: electoral votes cast by Florida were cast by electors not
- 13:31Speaker 21: lawfully certified.
- 13:33Speaker 22: Mister President, I object to the certificate from the State
- 13:35Speaker 22: of Georgia on the grounds that the electoral votes would debate.
- 13:38Speaker 23: And I object to the certificate from the state of
- 13:41Speaker 23: North Carolina based on violations.
- 13:44Speaker 13: Of no debate and there no debate by the Joint Session.
- 13:48Speaker 10: I object because people are horrified by the overwhelming.
- 13:51Speaker 13: Average in eighteen Title Tree of the United States Code
- 13:54Speaker 13: prohibits debate.
- 13:56Speaker 22: I object objected to the counting of the electoral votes
- 14:00Speaker 22: of the state of Ohio.
- 14:01Speaker 12: I object to the certificate from the State of Alabama.
- 14:04Speaker 1: The electors were not lawfully certified. So it's just a
- 14:07Speaker 1: smattering of people protesting the acceptance of electoral votes constitutionally
- 14:16Speaker 1: mandated to happen on January sixth of the or the
- 14:23Speaker 1: following January sixth, after a presidential election. That's right, they're
- 14:29Speaker 1: black and white, and apparently it's okay. And you heard
- 14:35Speaker 1: the voice of a far more lucid Vice President Joe
- 14:39Speaker 1: Biden presiding over this Senate hearing, gleefully gabbling out any
- 14:46Speaker 1: protests that would have perhaps challenged President Trump's election and
- 14:51Speaker 1: the elevation of Hillary Clinton back into position of power.
- 14:56Speaker 1: You say, well, why is Joe Biden excited about that?
- 15:00Speaker 1: Joe Biden at the time was trying to rest the
- 15:03Speaker 1: Democratic Party back for the quote traditional Democrats, trying to
- 15:09Speaker 1: rid the Democratic Party of the Clinton family and its influences.
- 15:18Speaker 1: What they did was they ushered in the Obama era.
- 15:21Speaker 1: But before they realized what they had done, they were
- 15:24Speaker 1: now stuck in the mire of either agreeing with Republicans,
- 15:29Speaker 1: and you can't do that if you're a Democrat, you
- 15:31Speaker 1: lose your decoder ring to point out that what they
- 15:39Speaker 1: thought was a mainstream, good looking, articulate storybook fella was
- 15:48Speaker 1: actually as hardcore a Marxist as anyone had been, and
- 15:52Speaker 1: was much more open about it than his political godfather,
- 15:55Speaker 1: Lyndon Johnson was back in the day, and Joe ought
- 15:59Speaker 1: to have known, because Joe learned everything he did. He
- 16:03Speaker 1: was the Senate arm twister that is listed in history,
- 16:09Speaker 1: is second only to Lyndon Johnson for being able to
- 16:12Speaker 1: if you didn't have skeletons in your closet, put some there.
- 16:24Speaker 1: So when you hear Joe Biden in there gabbling out
- 16:27Speaker 1: everyone who wants to protest the twenty sixteen election results,
- 16:34Speaker 1: it's because they didn't want the Clintons back anymore than
- 16:38Speaker 1: the well the voices you heard Jamie Raskin first off,
- 16:42Speaker 1: on that montage that was first played into the public
- 16:45Speaker 1: record in front of Liz Cheney and the January sixth
- 16:49Speaker 1: commission with Jamie Raskin there presiding over it. And that
- 16:54Speaker 1: was the reason Jamie Raskin, who, as was pointed out,
- 16:57Speaker 1: had only been in his position for days when he
- 17:01Speaker 1: took to the floor and said.
- 17:03Speaker 21: I have an objection because ten of the twenty nine
- 17:06Speaker 21: electoral votes cast by Florida were cast by electors not
- 17:10Speaker 21: lawfully certified.
- 17:13Speaker 1: You say, hold on a second here, mister Thomas, I
- 17:18Speaker 1: thought Jamie Raskin was from Maryland. You see, this is
- 17:21Speaker 1: the fun and frolic of these protests over the acceptance
- 17:26Speaker 1: of electoral votes. The protests over these electoral votes don't
- 17:34Speaker 1: have to be from representatives of the states being protested.
- 17:39Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, they rarely are. And I
- 17:42Speaker 1: bring this up because President Trump's famous, now infamous if
- 17:48Speaker 1: you will walk out was over the simple fact that
- 17:53Speaker 1: he wanted some people to protest. And you have to
- 17:59Speaker 1: unpack the whole story. So who was the big winner
- 18:04Speaker 1: on January sixth, twenty twenty one? Was it Donald J. Trump?
- 18:10Speaker 1: If you think Donald Trump won, you have a very
- 18:15Speaker 1: broad definition of what winning means. You win the Charlie
- 18:19Speaker 1: Sheen Award for winning. You get a lifetime supploot of
- 18:25Speaker 1: tiger blood whatever that is. No people have for a
- 18:35Speaker 1: time in memoriam, used the proceedings of the certification of
- 18:40Speaker 1: the Electoral College votes on January sixth, following the November elections,
- 18:47Speaker 1: as an opportunity to do what young Jamie Raskin, the
- 18:52Speaker 1: new Rascal from Maryland, took to the floor along with
- 18:56Speaker 1: many folks to do.
- 19:00Speaker 21: Because ten of the twenty nine electoral votes cast by
- 19:04Speaker 21: Florida were cast by electors not lawfully certified.
- 19:08Speaker 22: Mister President, I object to the certificate from the State
- 19:10Speaker 22: of Georgia on the grounds that the electoral vote debate.
- 19:13Speaker 23: And I object to the certificate from the State of
- 19:16Speaker 23: North Carolina based on violations.
- 19:19Speaker 13: No debate, and there's no debate but the Joint Session.
- 19:23Speaker 10: I object because people are horrified by the overwhelming average.
- 19:27Speaker 13: In eighteen Title three, the United States Code prohibits debate.
- 19:31Speaker 4: I object objected to the counting of the electoral votes
- 19:35Speaker 4: of the state of Ohio.
- 19:36Speaker 5: I object to the certificate from the State of Alabama.
- 19:39Speaker 1: The electors were not lawfully certified.
- 19:41Speaker 8: I object to the fifteen votes from the State of
- 19:43Speaker 8: North Carolina because of the massive voter suppression and the
- 19:45Speaker 8: closing voting polling boots.
- 19:47Speaker 13: There's no debate, voter, there's no debate. Sixteen, there's no debate,
- 19:51Speaker 13: and the massive general suppression.
- 19:52Speaker 12: That occurs general was suspended.
- 19:56Speaker 1: I have an objection to the electoral votes.
- 19:58Speaker 24: The objection is in writing, and I don't that it
- 20:00Speaker 24: is not signed by a member of the Senate.
- 20:04Speaker 17: I do not wish to debate.
- 20:06Speaker 12: I wish to ask is there one United States Senator
- 20:09Speaker 12: who will join me in this letter?
- 20:11Speaker 1: No debate.
- 20:12Speaker 22: The objection is signed by a member of the House,
- 20:15Speaker 22: but not yet by a member.
- 20:16Speaker 10: Of the Senate.
- 20:17Speaker 1: It is over. And that was really what was gabbling
- 20:24Speaker 1: out all of those folks, is that they all had
- 20:26Speaker 1: House members protesting, but none of the Democrats in the Senate,
- 20:30Speaker 1: not Chuck Schumert, bok Warner, none of the US Senators,
- 20:44Speaker 1: not Kamala Harris, none of the US Senators were willing
- 20:49Speaker 1: to sign on to any of these protests of the ballots.
- 20:54Speaker 1: On January sixth of twenty seventeen, and that's just twenty seven.
- 21:00Speaker 1: I mean, let's go back to two thousand and one.
- 21:05Speaker 1: January sixth of two thousand and one, Oh my goodness,
- 21:10Speaker 1: that went on and on and on. So the press
- 21:19Speaker 1: continuing to press this big lie, as Chuck Schumer likes
- 21:24Speaker 1: to call it, is why finally, at the end of
- 21:28Speaker 1: it all, President Trump had had the halls he good stands,
- 21:32Speaker 1: and he couldn't stands no more and walked out of
- 21:35Speaker 1: the interview with Kristen Welker now famous. And the dishonesty
- 21:47Speaker 1: is that you continue to ask a question which plants
- 21:51Speaker 1: into somebody's head. Huh, there must be they're there when
- 21:54Speaker 1: there is no there there. As a matter of fact,
- 21:57Speaker 1: there's quite the opposite of their.

- 23:06Speaker 9: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
- 23:11Speaker 9: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
- 23:16Speaker 9: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases. AI supports
- 23:20Speaker 9: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
- 23:25Speaker 9: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
- 23:31Speaker 9: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
- 23:35Speaker 9: on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
- 23:40Speaker 9: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
- 23:44Speaker 9: AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
- 23:48Speaker 9: your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the

- 24:03Speaker 10: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 24:12Speaker 10: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:41Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:23Speaker 1: It is our phone number. Emails come into JT in
- 28:27Speaker 1: the morning radio at gmail dot com. So this battle
- 28:33Speaker 1: over the UFC, and there's a great post by the way,
- 28:39Speaker 1: for those who appreciate the fun. The Babylon b gets
- 28:45Speaker 1: it that the Democrats are a gas that President Trump
- 28:51Speaker 1: would defile the same Hello grounds where Joe Biden's administration
- 28:56Speaker 1: held a transgender festival just a few years earlier, and
- 29:06Speaker 1: this filing against it by a couple of squinches from
- 29:11Speaker 1: my home state of Virginia. Now and no, by the way,
- 29:16Speaker 1: no they were not named Mark Warner and Tim Kaine.
- 29:22Speaker 1: But there has to be, you know, a filing and
- 29:25Speaker 1: standing and where's the judge saying you have no standing
- 29:28Speaker 1: in this? But the argument about this UFC fight is
- 29:37Speaker 1: that it's national park lands and therefore you can't hold
- 29:42Speaker 1: a sporting event on national park lands. And because the
- 29:50Speaker 1: lawyers liked the pylon stuff non germane to that, they
- 29:57Speaker 1: also want to add, and Congress did not can sent
- 30:00Speaker 1: for the arch that's already overhead and constructed already, and
- 30:10Speaker 1: no environmental review was conducted before the construction. So if
- 30:16Speaker 1: one doesn't work, maybe one of the second or third
- 30:19Speaker 1: ones might work. We want to stop this, Dana White,
- 30:22Speaker 1: Oh my god, they're going to be men wrestling with
- 30:26Speaker 1: other beating up other men on the Capitol lawn. Can't
- 30:32Speaker 1: we spare that kind of stuff for the halls of
- 30:35Speaker 1: the US Senate. The Public Integrity Project filed the suit
- 30:49Speaker 1: against this UFC battle, again, trying to protect the hallowed
- 30:53Speaker 1: grounds where the Biden administration had hosted the transgender celebrations.
- 31:01Speaker 1: It was easter, wasn't It wasn't that transgender egg roll
- 31:06Speaker 1: pun intended it was. It was quite the scene, and
- 31:10Speaker 1: I remember, you know, we covered it as much as
- 31:13Speaker 1: I could keep my breakfast down through same lawn. So
- 31:20Speaker 1: don't come and bless the Public Integrity Project for avoiding
- 31:27Speaker 1: the obvious lampooning that would come if they were going
- 31:33Speaker 1: to try to file suit against some desecration of important
- 31:39Speaker 1: American soil. The same places a bunch of trans activists
- 31:45Speaker 1: were holding Drag Queen's story Time Presidential edition reading Joe
- 31:53Speaker 1: Biden bedtime stories about why Johnny has two daddies, and again,
- 32:00Speaker 1: if Johnny has two daddies. I'm not saying that I
- 32:04Speaker 1: have a problem with you listening. I'm just saying call
- 32:08Speaker 1: it for what it is. Now. There are folks who
- 32:11Speaker 1: think this UFC fight on the White House lawn sets
- 32:15Speaker 1: a precedent that will have you know, the next president
- 32:19Speaker 1: doing something even bigger and more audacious on the White
- 32:22Speaker 1: House lawn. So you have to ask yourself the question
- 32:28Speaker 1: why not Presidents have been hosting champions until it became politics.
- 32:37Speaker 1: So now the champions, you know, the members of some
- 32:40Speaker 1: champion team that like the President will come and receive
- 32:44Speaker 1: some proclamation. But you know, for the you know, the
- 32:46Speaker 1: ones who don't, they'll sit somewhere in a bar near
- 32:49Speaker 1: the White House complaining to all the rest of the press.
- 32:56Speaker 1: I just thought the multiple layers of the suit were funny.
- 33:01Speaker 1: I just wish I had audio of the lawyer saying.
- 33:04Speaker 26: Your honor, This lawsuit we're filing here says the president
- 33:09Speaker 26: is administration in developing this has violated very clear National
- 33:13Speaker 26: Park Service regulations prohibiting sporting events at the federal park lands. However,
- 33:18Speaker 26: if that doesn't stick. Congress didn't consent to the tower anyway,
- 33:23Speaker 26: and beyond that, no environmental review was conducted. These these
- 33:27Speaker 26: are UFC fans. I mean, what kind of things that
- 33:31Speaker 26: could get in the groundwaters.
- 33:35Speaker 1: This is pile on as many things as you can.
- 33:39Speaker 1: So moving forward to the medical center. In a state
- 33:44Speaker 1: that was not interested in curing COVID nineteen, or at
- 33:49Speaker 1: least the COVID nineteen that was killing millions of their residents,
- 33:54Speaker 1: the Californians have managed to cure enough ballots to move
- 34:01Speaker 1: the socialist into second place in Los Angeles, and Karen
- 34:09Speaker 1: Bass better hope Spencer Pratt becomes the second place. And
- 34:16Speaker 1: it's a sign that Karen Bass isn't controlling Los Angeles
- 34:19Speaker 1: because her electoral board is curing enough ballots to put
- 34:25Speaker 1: the Marxist California's female vert, well more female version of
- 34:31Speaker 1: Zorhan Mamdani onto the ballot, of course, too close to
- 34:38Speaker 1: Carl Still, it's only been a week since voting began.
- 34:46Speaker 1: Nitya Rahman now just scant hundreds of votes ahead of
- 34:54Speaker 1: Spencer Pratt as they continue the curing process, going through
- 34:59Speaker 1: all the male in ballots that were rejected for some
- 35:02Speaker 1: reason or another and finding out, you know, and sometimes
- 35:06Speaker 1: just writing in the reasons, changing filling in, you know.
- 35:14Speaker 1: And let's go back to the whole January sixth thing.
- 35:18Speaker 1: So January sixth of two thousand and one, I think
- 35:24Speaker 1: it was Shila Jackson Lee protested the Florida vote because
- 35:28Speaker 1: of the hanging chads, and too many hanging chads weren't
- 35:32Speaker 1: accepted because the intent of the voter was to cast
- 35:37Speaker 1: that vote for Hillary for al Gore. And so now
- 35:47Speaker 1: here we've come, all these years later, quarter of a
- 35:54Speaker 1: century later, we are still talking about government officials determine
- 36:00Speaker 1: the intent of a voter. And I'm going to go
- 36:02Speaker 1: back to a book that I bring up. Very few
- 36:05Speaker 1: people talk about it except me. It's called Liquid Democracy.
- 36:10Speaker 1: Liquid Democracy is a philosophical text written by one of
- 36:15Speaker 1: the Lord High Mugwump technocrats of the late nineteenth and
- 36:20Speaker 1: early twentieth century. This one was about democratcy, or as
- 36:25Speaker 1: they called it at the time, democracy ways to treat
- 36:31Speaker 1: voting more expansively to make sure everybody's vote was heard.
- 36:38Speaker 1: And they were using the racism of the South that
- 36:41Speaker 1: they were suborning in the South post Civil War to
- 36:45Speaker 1: promote this idea that if you were not to vote.
- 36:49Speaker 1: One of the pretexts of it is if you were
- 36:52Speaker 1: to not vote, you could assign your vote to someone
- 36:57Speaker 1: else as a proxy. And that beyond that, if you
- 37:02Speaker 1: didn't vote and the government didn't receive a proxy from you,
- 37:05Speaker 1: the government could take your vote allegedly using your previous
- 37:12Speaker 1: voting records and determined who you were going to vote
- 37:15Speaker 1: for if you were not somehow otherwise inclined, just so
- 37:21Speaker 1: that they could say, look, one hundred percent of our community,
- 37:25Speaker 1: maybe one hundred and ten, just to be safe, has
- 37:28Speaker 1: voted in this election. Sounds crazy, doesn't it. Keeping in mind,
- 37:34Speaker 1: the same adult absinthe drunk mind of Charles Dodgson is
- 37:46Speaker 1: the same mind that gave us Alice in Wonderland under
- 37:49Speaker 1: his nom de guerre of Lewis Carroll. And to be fair,
- 37:56Speaker 1: I think the Queen of Hearts ran the country better
- 37:59Speaker 1: than liquid democracy.
- 38:01Speaker 15: According to a new report from Discovery Education, ninety two
- 38:04Speaker 15: percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
- 38:08Speaker 15: and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
- 38:11Speaker 15: critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
- 38:15Speaker 15: but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
- 38:18Speaker 15: student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
- 38:22Speaker 15: students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
- 38:26Speaker 15: forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
- 38:28Speaker 15: principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
- 38:33Speaker 15: the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
- 38:37Speaker 15: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
- 38:41Speaker 15: while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
- 38:44Speaker 15: assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
- 38:48Speaker 15: students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
- 38:52Speaker 15: yet fewer than half of teachers report using AI themselves
- 38:55Speaker 15: to complete tasks. Visit Discovery education dot com to learn

- 46:09Speaker 1: or on my program even I don't want them calling
- 46:13Speaker 1: the Talk Media Network and threatening whatever or all the
- 46:18Speaker 1: stations like WTTV and Treasure Coast or KLUP in San
- 46:23Speaker 1: Antonio or WTAR in Norfolk threatening their license because they
- 46:31Speaker 1: carry this program. That kind of thuggery has no place
- 46:37Speaker 1: in a country where we the people are the title
- 46:42Speaker 1: holders to the country. And I brought up the fact
- 46:44Speaker 1: that I just want the FCC to be like the
- 46:47Speaker 1: clerk of the courts in your county, in your community.
- 46:53Speaker 1: The court of the clerk is the one that guarantees
- 46:58Speaker 1: your deed is on record as yours. These are the people.
- 47:02Speaker 1: As much as there are ads for title protection, title
- 47:07Speaker 1: theft insurance and all of those other folks who will
- 47:10Speaker 1: spend cash money to advertise on programs like this one.
- 47:16Speaker 1: The only thing the FCC's job is is to make
- 47:19Speaker 1: sure that nobody shows up in my property and squats
- 47:24Speaker 1: on it. I've paid cash money for the transmitter frequencies
- 47:33Speaker 1: that my company owns as to have the folks in
- 47:36Speaker 1: the Salt Lake City and Portland and Evanston, Illinois have
- 47:44Speaker 1: paid for the signals that carry the show there, and Eloy,
- 47:49Speaker 1: Arizona and past Google of Mississippi and Gulf Shores, you
- 47:55Speaker 1: name it, you got it. You paid cash money for
- 47:59Speaker 1: this forquency, You paid cash money for the transmitters that
- 48:03Speaker 1: put the audio out on these frequencies, and for the
- 48:07Speaker 1: Federal Communications Commission to act like they've granted you something.
- 48:13Speaker 1: I fell short of using a phrase that I learned
- 48:16Speaker 1: growing up, something about taking your teeth and biting a
- 48:19Speaker 1: part of my body. I pulled up short of that,
- 48:23Speaker 1: but I got arousing at some point. I hope they
- 48:26Speaker 1: post the video of it, because the crowd really got
- 48:31Speaker 1: into the idea that the FCC is way out of
- 48:34Speaker 1: its lane. And later on I was approached by somebody
- 48:38Speaker 1: saying thanks for standing up to the Trump administration, said,
- 48:42Speaker 1: do you think this is the Trump administration? Doing this.
- 48:45Speaker 1: This is every administration doing this, and part of it
- 48:51Speaker 1: is this idea of authoritarianism. The government wants to control
- 48:56Speaker 1: what you and I say and do, and sometimes they
- 48:59Speaker 1: do it passive aggressive ways. They hold events talking about
- 49:03Speaker 1: open mindedness and bipartisanship and open you know, open hearts
- 49:11Speaker 1: and open ears and oh you hear all the different
- 49:14Speaker 1: slogan earring and it can be crazy making. And now
- 49:19Speaker 1: we have to go back to another group of broadcasters,
- 49:22Speaker 1: this one just specifically in Virginia. So we should call
- 49:25Speaker 1: tar see if we can use their studios on Friday morning.
- 49:31Speaker 1: I know it's early and their guys have got to
- 49:34Speaker 1: get set up. I don't want to be an intrusion,
- 49:35Speaker 1: so but we'll be live from Virginia Beach on Friday.
- 49:39Speaker 1: So another group of broadcasters all gathering around to talk
- 49:43Speaker 1: about how open minded they are and how all opinions matter,
- 49:48Speaker 1: and they do, they do, but they don't make programming.
- 49:51Speaker 1: And this was part of what came up at this
- 49:54Speaker 1: Talkers conference. And I got some eye rolls. But you
- 49:59Speaker 1: tell me, you tell me out in Youngstown, Ohio. You
- 50:11Speaker 1: tell me whether or not a radio station has a
- 50:16Speaker 1: certain position in your world, a place to have conversation. Certainly,
- 50:20Speaker 1: our formats on all of these stations is conversation. It's
- 50:26Speaker 1: news analysis. Even when the sports guy shows up, we'll
- 50:32Speaker 1: give you the news, but we'll also take you further
- 50:35Speaker 1: into it with some analysis. But the idea that we
- 50:45Speaker 1: have to, in some way, shape or form, spend any
- 50:50Speaker 1: amount of time in Doctor doorenating you two ideas that
- 51:01Speaker 1: you might not hold to be yours, is I think
- 51:08Speaker 1: a detriment to our advertisers. You're demanding somehow, and the
- 51:12Speaker 1: FCC is demanding or tottering around demanding that we spend
- 51:20Speaker 1: time doing things that our advertisers haven't paid us to do,
- 51:25Speaker 1: which is analyze the news and a fashion consistent with
- 51:30Speaker 1: conservative principles or liberal positions. But one of the things
- 51:39Speaker 1: I brought up was if the listener is the most
- 51:42Speaker 1: important person. And I don't want to tell you how
- 51:47Speaker 1: many people who smirked at that statement this weekend. It's
- 51:54Speaker 1: bothersome to me. The eye rolls that I got when
- 52:00Speaker 1: I brought up that you were supposedly the most important
- 52:03Speaker 1: person in the determination of what this radio program and
- 52:07Speaker 1: what this radio station you're listening to. It almost going
- 52:10Speaker 1: to do well, I'll sure fine for this sake, but
- 52:16Speaker 1: we're being menches here. We're just we're here at an
- 52:20Speaker 1: industry conference. You can you don't have to pander to
- 52:23Speaker 1: your listeners, said, did you think what I was doing
- 52:26Speaker 1: was pandering? That's how I programmed this program. It's not
- 52:33Speaker 1: about me, it's about you. It's about telling you the
- 52:36Speaker 1: truth as I've chopped it up to see it. And
- 52:43Speaker 1: it is a tough couple of weeks because I'm going
- 52:45Speaker 1: to be elbow deep around more of these people for
- 52:48Speaker 1: this week, so I need a hug.
