"The Trump Doctrine" (FTTxJT Mon 101226 hr3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: We'll do it live. Making mornings great again.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: We'll do it live.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: And we'll do it live.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Joe works at the steel mill.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: He's damn near every day.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Leaves for work when the sun comes up.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Drops a kid to school and all the way.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Joe has everything he dreamed of.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: All the treasures that he needs.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: No wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: He only aims to please you.
• 0:33
  Speaker 5: Happy Columbus Day. Coming to you live from the birthplace
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: of America and America's hometown, Charlottesville, Virginia, in the metropolitan
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: statistical area there. Also the birthplace of Woodrow Wilson. So,
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, you think about it, the birthplace of both
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: versions of America, the technocratic authoritarian state of Woodrow Wilson
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: and The Freedom of Thomas Jefferson. Luckily, we haven't thrown
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: out Thomas Jefferson's notes on it yet. So I think
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: we can reload the software. It might require a reboot,
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: but a quick note for those. And I appreciate everyone
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: who gathers with us each morning and we do what
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: we can to tell you what went on last night
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: and give you our analysis of it. But one of
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: the things that I commonly find myself caught into the
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: loop of doing is unwinding the narratives that are being
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: sold to you. And fiction is a wonderful thing. I
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: have spent quite a bit of my time reading works
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: of fiction. Unfortunately, these days, most of the good fiction
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: writers are working in newsrooms, and most of the good
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: comedy writers are writing insurance company ads. And the unfortunate
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: thing about the fiction writers is they're hired by somebody
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: just like, you know, the Medici family said to Michelangelo. Hey,
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: we'd like something on the roof of the church, something
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: depict something godly. And can you we'll pay you well
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: for it. Can you do that for us? So just
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: because something is paid for by someone else doesn't immediately
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: corrupt it. But as we've seen plenty of times along
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: our American press corps, that can be the case. And
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: President Trump has laid that bare for most to see.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: So excuse the press when they get fixated on things
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: like Kimberly Guilfoyle and her Amex bill. more than they
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: are about, hey, all that war stuff might be coming
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: to an end. And it has to do with President
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Trump and his doctrine of listening to everybody. The president
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: will take a phone call or a meeting with anybody.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: You know what the sad thing is? I think that
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: he has found that on the world stage, there are
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: more people tuned into his way of thinking than there
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: are in the American government, which is, hey, we need
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: to build a building here, and I don't want to
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: look bad if my part of the building fails. And
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: he plays on that. President Trump said Sunday Russia and
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: Ukraine have agreed on an energy ceasefire, but he didn't
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: go into any detail on what that meant. But it
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: followed the Ukrainian military strike on a diesel fuel depot
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: hours after President Trump announced that he and Vladimir Putin
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: of Russia had agreed to a donation or contribution of
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: hundreds of millions of tons of diesel fuel. Moscow did
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: not immediately comment on the announcement. Zelensky of Ukraine said,
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: and he was a busy guy with the president, We
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: discussed this ceasefire announced by President Trump and we support it.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: President Trump also told Volodymyr Zelenskyy, stop bombing the diesel
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: fuel infrastructure or we will cut off the NATO military supplies.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: And then announced that he thinks it's time that Zelenskyy left,
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: that he thinks there should be a different leader in Ukraine,
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: to which Zelensky told ABC's This Week, if Putin gives
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: us 60 days of total ceasefire, we will organize elections. Meanwhile,
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: the aforementioned President Putin of Russia called the president on Friday,
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: first announcing the donation of diesel fuel, but then also announced,
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: according to the Kremlin on Saturday, that Russia President Putin
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: has been talking with Iranian President Massoud Rajikian, where they
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: say that the two sides have come to a framework
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: to get an end to the conflict between the United
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: States and the Iranians. Pope Leo is facing a tough
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: go of it. Not only did the White Sox get
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: ousted from the playoffs by Cleveland, he has now been
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: apparently had lung nodules discovered. The Pope revealed the findings
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Sunday during his blessings at St. Peter's Square, said it
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: was detected at a very early stage and is well localized.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: He is scheduled for surgery within the next few days.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: And six U.S. Senators known for their public service in
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: our military, like Dick Blumenthal and Lisa Murkowski have signed
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: a letter to President Trump to immediately reverse course on
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: the plans to get diesel fuel from Russia. The United
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: States should not provide Putin with a financial lifeline while
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians, the chest-thumping Republicans said
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: in their statement. And those are some of our first
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: things this morning.
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: You know, a lot of times you have to choose
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: between something high quality or something that saves you money.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: But what if you could get both?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: Especially when it comes to health care, and that is MediShare.
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: You get both.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: Many families save $ 500 a month with MediShare, and that's huge.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: But it's also true that people wind up way more satisfied, too.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: We know this from research of members. There's a lot
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: they like about MediShare, but especially they love being part
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: of something they believe in. And MediShare works, too. It
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: has for more than 30 years. There are hundreds of
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: thousands of members who love having telehealth if they need it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: They love the huge PPO network. You can save a
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: ton and like it better. Imagine being happy with how

  Speaker 13: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 13: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them, nestled
• 9:08
  Speaker 13: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: Oh, yes!
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Yes!
• 9:16
  Speaker 13: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 9:20
  Speaker 13: favorite form of ear candy. Oh, my. Those bejeweled sprinkles
• 9:25
  Speaker 13: have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 14: Shh.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Do you smell that?

• 9:57
  Speaker 10: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining health. a healthy diet.
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: Of course, neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly,
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a
• 10:10
  Speaker 10: million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths
• 10:14
  Speaker 10: are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
• 10:18
  Speaker 10: healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about
• 10:22
  Speaker 10: your risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease. And
• 10:25
  Speaker 10: if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: reason so many die is because not enough are willing
• 10:34
  Speaker 10: to change. You can stop it, starting right now. It's
• 10:38
  Speaker 10: your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40

  Speaker 3: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 21: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 11: We'll probably stay together.

  Speaker 3: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: I can probably swim.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 13: Okay, don't tell me what to do.

  Speaker 7: Cannonball!

• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message

• 13:12
  Speaker 1: News and analysis, now without artificial colors. First thing today,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: I'm afraid of the Russians.
• 13:24
  Speaker 13: I can't sleep at night.
• 13:27
  Speaker 16: So afraid of the Russians.
• 13:31
  Speaker 13: Afraid we've got to fight.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: And this goes into the whole xenophobic nationalist tack of
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: guys like Tucker Carlson who don't get the fact that
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: a world that we can interact with is better for America.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: Because we have better ideas. And part of their self-loathing
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: is they don't believe we have better ideas. They expose
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: themselves as shriveled up little needle agendas that are exposed
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: for all to see. And while we laugh at their
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: appendage and how little and insignificant it winds up being,
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: once it's opened up for all of us to see,
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: they have to run around and make everyone else seem
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: small and insignificant and incapable of satisfying their voters needs. What,
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: what do you think I'm talking about? I don't know
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: anything about that. My God, why would you think I'd
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: talk about Tucker Carlson that way?
• 14:40
  Speaker 14: Wow.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: Um, so, so their insignificance, their, their compensation for the
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: lack of the faith in the American system causes them
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: to believe that America first means America only. And that's
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: where these people who are being paid for by the
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: CHICOMs and the Soros's, even if it's through money laundering
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: channels like ActBlue and corporate sponsorships, they're out there trying
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: to demean an agenda that says, if people know us,
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: they like our way better. And I'm going to say
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: it this way, not to sound, you know, addled or anything,
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: but on a Sunday, while, you know, the other Washington
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: representatives on a Sunday afternoon seemed hell-bent on resting defeat
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: from the jaws of victory, the denizen of 1600 Pennsylvania
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: Avenue and his minions, especially within the State Department, have perhaps,
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: if you pick a day, picked that day to bring
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: at the very least the landing gear out on two
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: big conflicts where hundreds of thousands of people have died,
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: both in this last five years and the 240 years
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: this country has been in existence. And they've done it
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: by saying, sure, we'll talk to you. Stop shooting. Stop
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: funding people to run around with C4 vests on and
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: killing soldiers and that kind of thing. Stop funding terrorism.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: And you can have a seat at the table with us.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: Trump knows what we've talked about here on the program
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: time and time again. Most of our closest allies now
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: were our enemies, mortal at one point. Would you argue
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: that our biggest allies in the world, internationally speaking, economically,
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: certainly are Japan and Germany and England?
• 16:53
  Speaker 15: Really?
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: You know, so why would you think that it's a
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: bad idea? What is it, he posits to you, ruminate
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: on this for a second. What is it that brought
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: the Soviet Union down? Was Ronald Reagan simply ignoring all
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: of his consultants and speechwriters and saying, Mr. Gorbachev, tear
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: down this wall? No, the wall was coming down whether Mr.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: Gorbachev tore it down or not, because in his attempt
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: to liberalize Russia, the Soviet Union, he exposed the Soviet
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: world to the Western world, a Western world that they
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: had been lied to about, for generations seeing it saying,
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: hold it, they have Billy Joel. I'm sorry, I picked
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: on Billy Joel. But they have all these things and
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: we don't. Well, I like their system better. And that's
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: what the world is afraid of. That's why the World
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: Economic Forum doesn't want America first, doesn't want America sitting
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: down with Russia, doesn't want America sitting down with Ukraine,
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: doesn't want America sitting down with Gaza and Hamas and
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: these people. They want us to have mortal enemies that
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: we never speak to and we never interact with and
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: they never know us and we never know them. And
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: Trump's foreign policy, at very least, is, sure, talk to them.
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: And I go back to his very first day in office,
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: January 20th. 2017. He's signing the letters asking Congress to
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: approve his first cabinet. And who is standing right next
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: to him in the camera shot? Chuck and Nancy. Not
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: the GOP leaders, not Mitch McConnell, not Paul Ryan. Chuck
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: and Nancy.
• 19:00
  Speaker 15: Why?
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: Because he wanted them on his team as well, even
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: though they were in a different political party. And these
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: political parties are flailing Because the only way you can
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: represent somebody is if we talk to each other. How
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: many businesses do you think that would survive five minutes
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: if they said no Democrats allowed in this store or
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: no Republicans allowed in this store? I mean, first off,
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: I believe it's a civil rights violation, but we have
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: to get the NAACP or the ACLU on that. Andy's
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: hanging on the line with us. Andy, good morning, sir.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: How are you doing today, my friend?
• 19:39
  Speaker 20: I survived another weekend.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Awesome.
• 19:43
  Speaker 22: I watched a lot of football.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: You guys in Sarasota, you guys made it okay through Isaiah's?
• 19:51
  Speaker 22: But it was nothing in– but the weaponizing of weather
• 19:55
  Speaker 22: and these Chinese voting systems are still two of the
• 19:58
  Speaker 22: things at the top of my list in terms of
• 20:01
  Speaker 22: exposing those things and just doing the best I can
• 20:05
  Speaker 22: for that.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: So if Ukraine holds elections within 60 days, do you
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: think they'll use Dominion voting machines?
• 20:12
  Speaker 22: Probably not. I think they'll probably use paper ballots. One
• 20:16
  Speaker 22: of the greatest– painter or not he's not the greatest
• 20:23
  Speaker 22: painter but one of the greatest restorers of paintings works
• 20:30
  Speaker 22: for me here not full time but you know his
• 20:34
  Speaker 22: sponsor here You know, there's a local art dealer that
• 20:42
  Speaker 22: connected me to this guy, and he's always trying to
• 20:44
  Speaker 22: do little side deals. But, you know, it's part of
• 20:48
  Speaker 22: the kind of the Russian kind of side deal kind
• 20:51
  Speaker 22: of thing. But he actually has two master's degrees here.
• 20:57
  Speaker 22: One is in art restoration and the other is art appraising.
• 21:04
  Speaker 22: And so he made a living mostly in like Germany.
• 21:09
  Speaker 22: And then, you know, all this nonsense started happening. He's probably,
• 21:13
  Speaker 22: I think he's 57. His mom's still alive. His dad
• 21:17
  Speaker 22: just died, but you know, they came.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: They grew up in the middle of it.
• 21:23
  Speaker 23: Well, yeah.
• 21:24
  Speaker 22: And, but, You know, he still has an apartment in Kiev.
• 21:29
  Speaker 22: I don't know if he owns it or not, but
• 21:31
  Speaker 22: they got his mom.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: But you have to be. I mean, you know, this
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: is the thing that Trump seems to get, which is
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: not talking to Russia, not talking to China, not trying
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: to get Russia and Ukraine to stop shooting missiles at
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: each other, not talking to Hamas or whoever is in
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: charge in Palestine, not talking to Israel, puts America in
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: greater peril than than it does if we do. And
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: that's why I think Washington, D.C. is so.

  Speaker 24: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 24:08
  Speaker 24: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch. And nitric
• 24:13
  Speaker 24: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 24: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 24: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 24:28
  Speaker 24: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 24:32
  Speaker 24: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:36
  Speaker 24: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 24:39
  Speaker 24: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 24:42
  Speaker 24: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,

  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: Resting defeat from the jaws of victory all across the
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: sports landscape. Chronicling it all. He is Mac McDonald. That's
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: why there are a set number of innings, a set
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: number of minutes in a game. You've got to play
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: to the last one clicks, don't you?
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Well, you've got to understand, you know, situations.
• 28:39
  Speaker 27: I know teams supposedly, supposedly practice, practice, practice.
• 28:43
  Speaker 18: I mean, when you look at how.
• 28:45
  Speaker 27: The whole weekend, the non-call that Alabama got against Georgia,
• 28:51
  Speaker 27: the Oregon-UCLA game and Bob Chesney.
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: And they made up. They sure made up for those
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: non-calls in the Virginia Tech game against Cal.
• 29:02
  Speaker 27: Yeah, I mean, you could go– I just sat back
• 29:05
  Speaker 27: and could chronicle all this stuff. And maybe it started
• 29:09
  Speaker 27: yesterday in London because Nick Sirianni decides to kick off
• 29:14
  Speaker 27: to the Jags and let them run it back instead
• 29:16
  Speaker 27: of you've got the lead. So anyway, of course, we're
• 29:19
  Speaker 27: going to focus on the Commanders Giants because, all right,
• 29:23
  Speaker 27: 55 seconds. 55 seconds left.
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: It's overtime. 27 all. Commanders at the Giants, 26. After
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: recovering a fumble.
• 29:32
  Speaker 18: Correct.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Clock stopped.
• 29:34
  Speaker 27: Ran the ball once for two yards, and then huddled.
• 29:37
  Speaker 27: Clock running.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: Snapped it with 26. seconds left. They have no timeouts.
• 29:43
  Speaker 27: Jaden Daniels dropped back, ran left, and by the time
• 29:46
  Speaker 27: they lined up to spike the ball, the clock hit zero. Okay,
• 29:49
  Speaker 27: I bring to the table today, of course, how did
• 29:52
  Speaker 27: the radio guys handle it who actually... We're pretty much
• 29:56
  Speaker 27: on top of it. First, the commander's crew, Bram Weinstein
• 30:03
  Speaker 27: and London Fletcher.
• 30:04
  Speaker 26: If they're going to run the ball here, they've got
• 30:06
  Speaker 26: to get down, get set, and spike it.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: In motion, Ben Sitton, 15 on the clock.
• 30:10
  Speaker 18: Daniels.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Play action.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: Rolling to the left.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Goes down now at the 25-yard line.
• 30:16
  Speaker 27: There's only seven seconds on the clock.
• 30:21
  Speaker 18: There are no timeouts.
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: This is going to end up in a.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Tie if they don't spike it.
• 30:27
  Speaker 18: It ends up in a tie.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: See, what you're missing.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: This is the end of the game.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, great insight from London Fletcher.
• 30:34
  Speaker 22: No, no, no, no.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: What preceded that was. Ten minutes of broadcast time of
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: London Fletcher saying, will these people start doing something right
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: for a change? Because he gave up. He gave up
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: all pretense. This was the moment where London Fletcher actually
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: became a commentator for the people listening and not for
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: the people signing his paycheck. Because he was brutal on
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: the Commanders. And it begins with coughing up a 14-point lead.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: And feel for me. So our flagship station spent a
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: year watching the Washington Nationals score the third most runs
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: in Major League Baseball, only to cough up three-quarters of
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: them in the last two innings. And now the Virginia
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: Tech Hokies cough up a lead late. and lose it.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: The Commanders, I mean, thank God for the Ravens, were
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: on the radio last night. I mean, it's like somebody
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: knows how to actually, you know, put a finishing touch
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: on this game.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Handle things.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 31:37
  Speaker 27: So now the New York Giants, this is Bob Papa
• 31:39
  Speaker 27: and Carl Banks, as they had seen enough. I had
• 31:43
  Speaker 27: to present the other side.
• 31:44
  Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah.
• 31:44
  Speaker 26: Daniels calls signals.
• 31:46
  Speaker 16: Under center.
• 31:48
  Speaker 20: Play fake.
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: Daniels is going.
• 31:49
  Speaker 26: To run to his left. Cuts back and dives ahead
• 31:52
  Speaker 26: to the 25th. Now they've got to down the football.
• 31:55
  Speaker 26: We're down to four, three, two, one. Game should be over.
• 32:02
  Speaker 26: And we're going to have a tie.
• 32:04
  Speaker 15: That was a bad choice by the quarterback. They called
• 32:07
  Speaker 15: a play, thought they were going to get the Giants fooled.
• 32:10
  Speaker 15: They had him corralled, and he could not get up.
• 32:13
  Speaker 15: and spike the football.
• 32:15
  Speaker 27: Okay so of course now i'm gonna get i'm just
• 32:19
  Speaker 27: guessing in watching it that that dan quinn had told
• 32:22
  Speaker 27: jen daniels here's the situation uh no timeout blah blah
• 32:26
  Speaker 27: blah but naturally uh you know the the he's not
• 32:29
  Speaker 27: going to throw a quarterback under the under the bus.
• 32:32
  Speaker 21: Like the sequencing of that um does not fall on
• 32:35
  Speaker 21: him um it's an outside throw or a clock You know,
• 32:38
  Speaker 21: those are the two, you know, out of bounds throw
• 32:39
  Speaker 21: or a clock that has to come from me. I
• 32:41
  Speaker 21: don't have to put him into that spot. I can
• 32:42
  Speaker 21: do that earlier and we can finish the kick early.
• 32:46
  Speaker 21: We don't need to gain more yards. So that's on me.
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's on me. Well, it's also on the defense.
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: They couldn't stop anybody for the last 12 minutes of
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: the game. And they just it made it made Jameis
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: Winston look like a college kid again. He even ran
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: for 20 yards.
• 33:02
  Speaker 27: And he threw for, yeah, he threw for 354, 374.
• 33:05
  Speaker 27: And most of it in the second half.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he was.
• 33:10
  Speaker 27: And then the Eagles fans, they've seen enough of Nick Sirianni.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: He botched the end of their game. The Eagles lost 1917.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: It was in London.
• 33:20
  Speaker 27: Where kicker Cam Little hit a walk-off 57-yard field goal
• 33:23
  Speaker 27: where I was having a nice tea and a couple
• 33:25
  Speaker 27: of onion rings. The place just went crazy. The Eagles
• 33:29
  Speaker 27: thought they had won the game with a field goal
• 33:32
  Speaker 27: of their own, eight seconds to go. The team inexplicably
• 33:36
  Speaker 27: gave Amir Abdullah a chance to return the ensuing kick
• 33:40
  Speaker 27: and so on and so forth. Then the Big Ten
• 33:42
  Speaker 27: steps forward, getting back to Bob Chesney and UCLA. There
• 33:46
  Speaker 27: was a face mask penalty and a two-point play. They
• 33:49
  Speaker 27: were supposed to market from the end of the run
• 33:52
  Speaker 27: instead of just half the distance to the goal. It's
• 33:55
  Speaker 27: an officiating error, and the Big Ten had reacted to that.
• 33:59
  Speaker 25: And.
• 34:00
  Speaker 27: uh alabama will be sending all their tape into in
• 34:03
  Speaker 27: one most egregious pass interference calls helmet to helmet in
• 34:07
  Speaker 27: the end zone would have made a difference i'm not
• 34:10
  Speaker 27: sure and i'm not like going alabama one side or
• 34:14
  Speaker 27: another but boy oh boy kaylin devore ought to be
• 34:16
  Speaker 27: talking to.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: The sec officials today too.
• 34:19
  Speaker 27: I don't know how they missed you know i i
• 34:22
  Speaker 27: didn't count i meant to count because i had a
• 34:24
  Speaker 27: An iced tea bet with a good friend of mine
• 34:26
  Speaker 27: who's a Patriots guy. And the Raiders were playing the
• 34:29
  Speaker 27: Patriots last night. And I don't know how many pass
• 34:31
  Speaker 27: interference calls that the Raiders got flagged for. But I
• 34:36
  Speaker 27: just kept telling him, I go, well, let's just. And
• 34:38
  Speaker 27: somebody produced a yellow hanky at the bar yesterday.
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: Oh, nice.
• 34:43
  Speaker 27: And so I.
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: Was throwing it off.
• 34:47
  Speaker 27: Oh, let's throw another flag. Oh, he touched his shoulder pad.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Oh my God.
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: No, I'm so sick. I'm so sick of pass interference.
• 34:54
  Speaker 27: I'm so sick of, of, of, of nondescript pass interference explanations.
• 34:59
  Speaker 18: Let them play.
• 35:00
  Speaker 27: Let's get rid of pass interference. It's like Terry Holland
• 35:02
  Speaker 27: had one of the greatest ruled Terry. I've said many times,
• 35:06
  Speaker 27: Terry Holland, was the greatest brain when it came to
• 35:09
  Speaker 27: sports and I don't care sports. He says, let's just
• 35:11
  Speaker 27: get rid of the block charge. Let's take it away
• 35:14
  Speaker 27: from the officials because if a guy wants to fall
• 35:18
  Speaker 27: down in the lane and flop, then the guy scores,
• 35:21
  Speaker 27: then that's his fault. You know, let's just get rid
• 35:23
  Speaker 27: of the block charge. And I thought, you know, and
• 35:26
  Speaker 27: he's the one that wanted all the bowl games to
• 35:28
  Speaker 27: be played in August, which makes, you know, a ton
• 35:30
  Speaker 27: of sense too.
• 35:30
  Speaker 14: Sure, sure.
• 35:31
  Speaker 27: So with all that, I mean, there's going to be,
• 35:34
  Speaker 27: for really all week long, there's going to be just overreaction.
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: Overreaction, overreaction. Of course.
• 35:40
  Speaker 27: The sports talk guys are licking their chops today. The
• 35:42
  Speaker 27: sports talk guys can't wait to get on there. I
• 35:45
  Speaker 27: can't wait to hear.
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: Mad Dog today. Oh, no, I can. Believe me. But
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: let me point out to you that this is, you know,
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: and we're supposed to, sports is supposed to translate. You know,
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: the same way we're supposed to spend Sunday mornings, learning
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: things that translate into our day-to-day jobs in our lives.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: Then Sunday afternoons are also supposed to be. Preparation, knowing
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: what's going on around you, knowing what's happening in the game,
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: controlling what you can control and managing the things you can't.
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: These are all lessons that we're supposed to carry, whether
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: it's into a boardroom or the front seat of our
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: work truck or wherever we're going.
• 36:30
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: This is what sports is supposed to teach us. Spending
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: three times as much money as your opponent isn't going
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: to get you a win, Los Angeles. I'm sorry for
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: our friends in San Bernardino, but Milwaukee.
• 36:44
  Speaker 27: I love Pat Murphy so much. I just think he
• 36:48
  Speaker 27: brings all his kids to the press conference.
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: Can you imagine? I would not want to have been
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: around Magic Johnson yesterday. Here is Magic Johnson watching his
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: football team cough up a 14-point lead at halftime to
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: a team that they had held to under 100 yards
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: of total offense. And then his $ 400 million payroll Dodgers
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: lose to the $ 100 million payroll Brewers 2-1. You know,
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: Magic had a cocktail or two last night, I'm pretty sure.
• 37:21
  Speaker 27: And for the people who follow the NBA, which is
• 37:24
  Speaker 27: getting ready to open, the Karl-Anthony Town story. What's that?
• 37:28
  Speaker 27: I'll probably touch on it more this week. They're 70
• 37:30
  Speaker 27: million apart. The Knicks have said, you know, you just
• 37:33
  Speaker 27: play for us this year.
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: We're 70 million apart. We're going to table your extension.
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: That's so easy. We are professional and even semi-professional counselors.
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: We specialize in pulling defeat from the jaws of victory.
• 37:49
  Speaker 27: I don't know what would be more frustrating, following politics
• 37:53
  Speaker 27: or following sports.
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: Joe knows the difference. The answer is yes. I'll see
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: you tomorrow morning.

  Speaker 19: According to a new report from Discovery Education, 92% of
• 38:05
  Speaker 19: students say that engaging lessons make school more fun, and
• 38:08
  Speaker 19: more than 90% of educators said engagement is critical for
• 38:11
  Speaker 19: student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning, but gaps
• 38:15
  Speaker 19: remain about how to achieve, measure, and sustain students' interest
• 38:19
  Speaker 19: in the classroom. Although 63% of students agreed that students
• 38:23
  Speaker 19: are highly engaged in school, Only 45% of teachers and
• 38:27
  Speaker 19: 51% of principals surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators
• 38:32
  Speaker 19: disagreed on the top indicators of engagement. 72% of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 19: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  Speaker 19: while 54% of superintendents rate performing well on assessments as
• 38:45
  Speaker 19: a top engagement indicator. Also, two-thirds of students said they
• 38:49
  Speaker 19: believed that AI could help them learn faster. Yet fewer
• 38:52
  Speaker 19: than half of teachers report using AI themselves to complete tasks.

  Speaker 24: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 39:09
  Speaker 24: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 24: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 24: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 24: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 39:28
  Speaker 24: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 39:33
  Speaker 24: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 24: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 39:40
  Speaker 24: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in

  Speaker 11: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:37
  Speaker 11: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 11: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 11: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:48
  Speaker 11: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 11: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 11: of an infection that can spread from person to person.

  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: You're the best.
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: Absolutely. Thank you for letting me be of service to you.
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: This email, I love this so much. Teresa writes in
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: from our flagship city of Stanton. She said, so Joe,
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: explain this to me. How is a sexual predator who's
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: accused of sexually abusing nine elementary school students and faces
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: over 20 charges of 20 different instances of same not
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: a danger to the community? If I understand the story
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: your local news told, this guy has been let out
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: on bond because he's not a danger to the community.
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: How does this get justified? Well, Teresa, I'm not a lawyer.
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: I know a lot of them. Some of them have
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: even stood with me in court and defended my sorry carcass.
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: So I know a little bit about the importance of defense.
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: And we believe in a world where you're innocent until
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: proven guilty. That being said, I don't know what the
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: argument is. There are some heavy restrictions on this guy,
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: Michael Sweeney Jr., and his bond that he's out on.
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: First and foremost, scratching together $ 50, 000. I don't know what
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: world you're in, but I can't do it that easily,
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: believe me. Building a new transmitter tower for our flagship
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: station would have been a lot easier if I could
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: just scratch up 50 grand. I guess bail bondsmen exist
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: in central Virginia, too. But there's conditions on he has
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: to have an adult. It doesn't say there has to
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: be some supervision no matter where he is in his house.
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: I'd like it to be an armed police officer, but
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: I don't get to make that decision. Or perhaps the
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: judge was convinced that Sweeney didn't sexually assault all the
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: children that came into his office as the transgender coach, recruiter,
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: whatever you call whatever his position was. So therefore, he
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: only targeted, I guess, these nine and he's not allowed
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: to see them. which, you know, you're really sad that
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: this is the kind of stuff that has to happen.
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: But he's only allowed to meet with people supposedly, allegedly,
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: with court approval, and they can only be about legal
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: defense matters. So I don't know how much of that
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: is being out. Sure, he's sleeping in his own bed,
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: and he doesn't have to worry about, you know, taking
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: a shower. And maybe that's the bigger concern is, believe me,
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: the Graybar Hotel can be a harsh place for a
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: child sex predator because a lot of the people who
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: were in there for the rest of their lives started
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: out being sexually abused. That is statistical. And they don't
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: take kindly to finding out that the guy in the
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: cell next to them has been doing this to small
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: children because they remember when they were a small child
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: and having somebody in authority abusing them. So generally, these
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: people wind up eating the business end of a urinal,
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: one of those, and it's just jailhouse justice. I don't
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: mean to sound harsh about it, but I'm sure his
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: defense attorney's like, listen, this guy needs protection in the jailhouse,
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: though he's been there since June, I believe, and nobody
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: has made him eat a urinal yet, but maybe he
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: just felt like it was dire and he'd be safer
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: near his spouse, who I can't imagine doesn't want to
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: smother him with a pillow too, but That's just me.
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: Joel is on the line, hopefully with more pleasantries to
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: share with us this morning. Good morning, Joel. And I
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: suffer with this because people are expecting me to get
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: their day started and be a little upbeat and everything.
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: And then the world hands you these moments where you're like, okay, well,
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: how do I explain that a judge decided, aside from
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: just saying judges can make mistakes too, that a guy
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: who stands accused of 20 counts of sexual liberties with
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: elementary school children isn't a danger to the community.
• 48:45
  Speaker 20: First, they have to be judges.
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: Unless their definition of what a danger is is different
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: than mine.
• 48:54
  Speaker 20: Well, my whole point is kind of parallel.
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: To all this stuff. Okay, all right, go ahead.
• 49:01
  Speaker 20: All the stuff the Democrats do against... Republicans, and then
• 49:06
  Speaker 20: the RINOs is they're beta testing us because we had COVID.
• 49:12
  Speaker 15: You go to.
• 49:13
  Speaker 20: California, you would go to when I lived in Charlottesville,
• 49:17
  Speaker 20: that they beta tested us to see how much they
• 49:20
  Speaker 20: could control. And right now we have the House, we
• 49:23
  Speaker 20: have the Senate. Yeah, we have Murkowski and then the
• 49:27
  Speaker 20: other kook lady. And a lot of those women just
• 49:31
  Speaker 20: vote on Collins and they vote on emotion. They don't
• 49:34
  Speaker 20: necessarily vote on the You know, there are differences in
• 49:38
  Speaker 20: men and women. I'm not being prejudiced, but a lot
• 49:41
  Speaker 20: of women react first with emotion versus the thought.
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: Of what actually happened. You've got to remember, Lisa Murkowski's dad,
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: you know, she inherited that Senate seat from her dad,
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: who was a banker, you know, who, from what I understand,
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: you know, couldn't successfully operate a bank where people gave
• 49:59
  Speaker 5: him money and said, look after it. So, you know,
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: I'm sure... that Alaska is safer to have the Murkowski
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: family in the Senate, which they've had since I think
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: the 70s, was when her dad first got elected to
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: that Senate seat, and then she inherited it from him. So,
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: you know, I wouldn't even prescribe the fact of gender
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: to it. I think it's just, you know, lifelong D.C.
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: swamp creature.
• 50:31
  Speaker 20: But my point is right now, we have the House,
• 50:33
  Speaker 20: we have the Senate, and the Democrats are talking about.
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: Who is we? First, we have to... I've heard that
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: phrase so many times, and one of the questions that
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: always bothers me, who is this we that owns the
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: Republicans in the House and Senate?
• 50:49
  Speaker 20: Well, I'm saying if you're not leaning as a Democrat,
• 50:52
  Speaker 20: but you're leaning as a Republican, even though it's hard
• 50:56
  Speaker 20: to say which party is the best, but... At least
• 51:00
  Speaker 20: we know that the control is in the House and
• 51:04
  Speaker 20: the Senate right now. It may be very slim, but
• 51:07
  Speaker 20: there's people in there that could act. I don't mean
• 51:10
  Speaker 20: being actors. They could actually pass the SAVE Act. They're
• 51:18
  Speaker 20: against President Trump right now because the majority of people
• 51:21
  Speaker 20: want to do it for their own self-interest, their own emotion.
• 51:25
  Speaker 20: And it wasn't about it wasn't about diesel. It was
• 51:28
  Speaker 20: about boundaries and keeping America first, because he's sick and
• 51:33
  Speaker 20: tired of all these wars, even though even though they
• 51:36
  Speaker 20: say he started a war in Iran, he didn't start
• 51:39
  Speaker 20: a war in Iran. He's ending it. And and that
• 51:42
  Speaker 20: but they get out there with their media, their fodder,
• 51:45
  Speaker 20: their fodder shovelers. they're poop shovelers or they're, you know,
• 51:49
  Speaker 20: cause you can't say coal cause coal is big and
• 51:51
  Speaker 20: beautiful and we need coal back in, in Virginia and
• 51:55
  Speaker 20: other places to operate. Energy plants have been closed by
• 51:58
  Speaker 20: windmills and solar.
• 51:59
  Speaker 5: We need to start reopening them cause we got dozens
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: of them.
• 52:04
  Speaker 20: And they're, and they're, and they're testing us and they're,
• 52:07
  Speaker 20: and the market that they have right now are 18
• 52:09
  Speaker 20: to 35 year olds. And those are the people that
• 52:12
  Speaker 20: are going to be out voting white women, the crazy
• 52:14
  Speaker 20: white women with the green hair and, you know, and
• 52:17
  Speaker 20: getting out and making their loud mouths, you know, and
• 52:22
  Speaker 20: then there are people.
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: Sitting on their hands not voting. Well, that's the thing is,
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: it's not even so much who's voting, it's who can
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: we convince to not vote. And this has always been
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: the campaign against Trump, is don't vote for Trump because
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: he is, and then insert some deplorable, if you will,
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: use that phrase, character trait. He's misogynist. He's sexist. He's
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: a blowhard. He's a braggart. He's a bully. You name it.
