Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: I'm more mega now make America great again than I've
- 0:08Speaker 1: ever been. Making mornings great again. First thing today on
- 0:12Speaker 1: the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 0:35Speaker 2: Oh, the blessings of a Tedstee upon you and your kin.
- 0:39Speaker 2: I sit here before you to tell you what went
- 0:43Speaker 2: on last night. I will, of course, dissect it for
- 0:47Speaker 2: you into easily digestible gummies. But as the after effects
- 0:52Speaker 2: of that start to wear off, I want you to
- 0:54Speaker 2: call me and tell me how the news of the
- 0:56Speaker 2: day is impacting you where you are because you... are
- 1:00Speaker 2: the single most important local aspect of the radio station.
- 1:04Speaker 2: And if you're not involved, then it ain't a local
- 1:07Speaker 2: radio station. So please dial in 434-882-4217 is the phone number.
- 1:16Speaker 2: It's also a text message hotline where you can text
- 1:20Speaker 2: message in like this one from Scott. We heard this
- 1:25Speaker 2: yesterday talking about building things and being entrepreneurial. He said,
- 1:30Speaker 2: did you build your microphone? Didn't I just explain in
- 1:33Speaker 2: the last hour, Scott, about my scientific education? I was
- 1:39Speaker 2: not going to engineering school. No, no, no, no, no. And,
- 1:44Speaker 2: you know, as I got older, we started to do
- 1:47Speaker 2: some research and we discovered part and parcel as to
- 1:49Speaker 2: why my processing speed was slow. I was the Intel
- 1:58Speaker 2: old Intel processors, the Celeron. I'm a Celeron in an
- 2:02Speaker 2: i7 world. That's always my problem. I've done some things
- 2:07Speaker 2: to fix it. That's why I mentioned, my friends, that
- 2:09Speaker 2: the LearningRx is a program that actually tries to help
- 2:13Speaker 2: you process information faster to help you remember it in
- 2:18Speaker 2: different ways and such. That was what they discovered my problem.
- 2:23Speaker 2: I had a pretty bad case of CRS, and they...
- 2:28Speaker 2: They said, well, we can try and fix it. And
- 2:30Speaker 2: they figured out that my problem with CRS was the
- 2:32Speaker 2: fact that it just went past me too fast. Went
- 2:37Speaker 2: past me too fast. The world was just going at
- 2:41Speaker 2: a breakneck pace. And I wasn't able to snap up
- 2:45Speaker 2: enough of it to have total recall or even partial recall.
- 2:50Speaker 2: So they said, we can fix that. And believe me,
- 2:53Speaker 2: it was arduous. If you've ever done calisthenics... or chair
- 2:58Speaker 2: Tai Chi. Anyone do that chair Tai Chi thing I
- 3:01Speaker 2: keep seeing in my pop-ups? I don't know about this stuff.
- 3:06Speaker 2: But calisthenics for your mental processing, it will exhaust you
- 3:12Speaker 2: in ways you never thought possible. But here are the
- 3:15Speaker 2: first things. The National Transportation Safety Board announced yesterday that
- 3:19Speaker 2: according to flight recorder data on the Amazon Prime air
- 3:24Speaker 2: cargo plane that crashed in Miami yesterday, The pilots had
- 3:29Speaker 2: considered aborting the landing of the 32-year-old jet before it
- 3:34Speaker 2: overran the runway. Jennifer Homady said the investigators would continue
- 3:40Speaker 2: with interviews with both pilots today. The American Bar Association
- 3:45Speaker 2: announced it's going to eliminate diversity requirements on law schools
- 3:50Speaker 2: as a requirement for their enrollment. They said that if
- 3:58Speaker 2: they continued to endorse such program, it could jeopardize their
- 4:01Speaker 2: role as an accreditor overseeing the 200 Juris Doctor programs
- 4:08Speaker 2: that it accredits. Iran launched some of those missiles that
- 4:14Speaker 2: Russia and China have been sending them. Apparently, they didn't
- 4:17Speaker 2: send enough targeting information, though, because they fell short of
- 4:21Speaker 2: The targets, luckily, they shot several intercontinental ballistic missiles at U.S.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Navy ships yesterday. Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy then shot at
- 4:33Speaker 2: and hit five Iranian oil tankers tied to the Islamic
- 4:37Speaker 2: Revolutionary Guard Corps. Our border skirmish with Canada continues as
- 4:44Speaker 2: President Trump has announced that three weeks from now, buying
- 4:49Speaker 2: Canadian dairy products, alcoholic beverages, and motorcycles will be banned
- 4:55Speaker 2: in the United States. But they do say that that
- 4:57Speaker 2: three weeks will give us time for negotiation. Head Start
- 5:02Speaker 2: is getting $ 225 million more if they upgrade the quality
- 5:08Speaker 2: of nutrition that the young children in their care gets,
- 5:12Speaker 2: including increasing access to garden-fresh vegetables. President Trump asked U.S.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Supreme Court yesterday to allow it to use a revamped
- 5:22Speaker 2: immigration database for checking accuracy of state voter rolls. This
- 5:27Speaker 2: all part of the battle over whether or not the U.S.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Postal Service can be forced to send fraudulent documents to
- 5:34Speaker 2: residents that don't exist anymore. And the Live Golf League
- 5:38Speaker 2: has filed for bankruptcy. We'll get into this a little
- 5:41Speaker 2: bit more with Mac McDonald coming up. In about half hour,
- 5:45Speaker 2: and former Senator John Sununu is back, winning the primary
- 5:50Speaker 2: in New Hampshire to face Chris Pappas.
- 5:53Speaker 3: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
- 5:56Speaker 3: the American story. But not every site is telling that
- 5:59Speaker 3: story honestly and fairly. That's why the Heritage Foundation created
- 6:03Speaker 3: the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips
- 6:07Speaker 3: American citizens with the tools they need to enjoy the
- 6:11Speaker 3: sites that depict some of the greatest moments in our
- 6:14Speaker 3: nation's history, analyzing them for historical accuracy, and provides resources
- 6:19Speaker 3: for families or educators planning a visit. It currently covers
- 6:23Speaker 3: over 45 sites in the 13 original colonies, but sites
- 6:27Speaker 3: from all 50 states will be added in time for
- 6:30Speaker 3: citizens to celebrate America.
- 6:32Speaker 4: 250 this summer.
- 6:33Speaker 3: From Mount Vernon to Independence Hall to Gettysburg and more,
- 6:37Speaker 3: Americans deserve transparency and sites that steward our history faithfully
- 6:42Speaker 3: deserve our gratitude. The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites invites
- 6:47Speaker 3: every American to rediscover the places and stories that define
- 6:51Speaker 3: our nation, whether it's across the country or in your backyard.

- 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

- 9:02Speaker 7: You were strolling along in goodwill. When just past that
- 9:05Speaker 7: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them, nestled
- 9:09Speaker 7: in their display case.
- 9:11Speaker 8: Miniature donut earrings.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Oh, yes!
- 9:15Speaker 9: Yes!
- 9:16Speaker 7: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
- 9:20Speaker 7: favorite form of ear candy.
- 9:22Speaker 8: Oh, my.
- 9:24Speaker 7: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
- 9:27Speaker 9: Shh!
- 9:29Speaker 2: Do you smell that?
- 9:30Speaker 9: Shh!
- 9:32Speaker 7: That's the sugary scent of shopping success.
- 9:35Speaker 8: For this is Goodwill.
- 9:38Speaker 7: And with every item you buy, you fund local job
- 9:41Speaker 7: training and more. So go forth. Bring home those donut earrings.
- 9:48Speaker 8: And bring home so much.
- 9:49Speaker 4: Good to your community.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Goodwill.
- 9:54Speaker 7: Bring good home.
- 9:57Speaker 10: Exercise is hard.
- 9:59Speaker 11: So is maintainability.
- 10:00Speaker 10: A healthy diet. Of course, neither is half as hard
- 10:05Speaker 10: as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke
- 10:09Speaker 10: kill nearly a million people a year. Even sadder, most
- 10:13Speaker 10: of these deaths are preventable with a few lifestyle changes,
- 10:17Speaker 10: including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to
- 10:22Speaker 10: your doctor about your risk for type 2 diabetes and
- 10:24Speaker 10: heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen.
- 10:30Speaker 10: The reason so many die is because not enough are
- 10:33Speaker 10: willing to change. You can stop it, starting right now.
- 10:38Speaker 10: It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
- 10:41Speaker 8: Eat better.
- 10:42Speaker 4: Get moving.

- 10:53Speaker 1: both legs in Vietnam. My victory was proving that a
- 10:56Speaker 1: disability is not a limitation. I'm Julius. I'm a veteran.
- 11:00Speaker 1: My victory was going from homeless to home.

- 11:06Speaker 12: generations get the benefits they've earned.

- 11:48Speaker 18: No word in the English language is less convincing.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Then probably.
- 11:52Speaker 19: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
- 11:55Speaker 19: first date?
- 11:56Speaker 9: Sure.
- 11:57Speaker 4: We'll probably stay together.
- 11:58Speaker 16: Probably?
- 11:59Speaker 18: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
- 12:03Speaker 2: I can probably swim.
- 12:05Speaker 20: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
- 12:09Speaker 17: Cannonball!
- 12:12Speaker 21: Cramp! Oh, I have a cramp.
- 12:16Speaker 16: I can probably hit the green from here.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Probably.
- 12:26Speaker 17: Ready to go?
- 12:27Speaker 4: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
- 12:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 12:35Speaker 18: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 12:39Speaker 18: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
- 12:42Speaker 18: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
- 12:45Speaker 18: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
- 12:47Speaker 19: You know the legal drinking age is 21. You may
- 12:50Speaker 19: also know this law protects teens. Find out more at DontServeTeens.gov.
- 12:56Speaker 19: A message from the We Don't Serve Teens program and
- 12:58Speaker 19: the Federal Trade Commission.
- 13:02Speaker 20: We exactly hear what the.
- 13:15Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 13:21Speaker 2: Thank you for joining us on this Ted's D morning.
- 13:24Speaker 2: I appreciate it. People freaking out. Supreme Court has agreed
- 13:34Speaker 2: to hear the case out of Connecticut on AR-15s. And
- 13:43Speaker 2: normally in a court that's six to three, supposedly, or
- 13:47Speaker 2: at least appointed by Republicans, you probably shouldn't be concerned.
- 13:53Speaker 2: But Supreme Court, especially with John Roberts.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Taking up the case of the AR-15s and whether they
- 14:13Speaker 2: are something you have a constitutional right to possess. And
- 14:17Speaker 2: this becomes a danger for Second Amendment advocates or constitutionalists
- 14:24Speaker 2: in general because it is in a lot of ways,
- 14:30Speaker 2: like Dobbs, a seminal case regarding how much authority we
- 14:36Speaker 2: give the government over the existence of rights, never mind
- 14:40Speaker 2: the protection of it. And this is the Keynesian view
- 14:48Speaker 2: of the rights that we have You know, God doesn't
- 14:58Speaker 2: necessarily give us our rights. Government does. And it's a
- 15:03Speaker 2: perversion of what John Locke said, because John Locke does say,
- 15:09Speaker 2: as we see it depicted in our Declaration, that to
- 15:16Speaker 2: ensure these rights, governments are instituted amongst men, deriving their
- 15:22Speaker 2: just powers from the governed. And the twisted logic that
- 15:33Speaker 2: guys like Tim Kaine use is, well, then, therefore, ipso
- 15:38Speaker 2: facto and to it, if I choose not to protect
- 15:42Speaker 2: that right, I have ostensibly taken it away from you. Therefore,
- 15:48Speaker 2: if I do accept my responsibility to protect it, I
- 15:53Speaker 2: am giving it to you. I know, I know. You
- 16:03Speaker 2: probably need a checkup from the neck up, right? But
- 16:08Speaker 2: that's the belief structure. When Tim Kaine, former vice presidential candidate,
- 16:20Speaker 2: says during a Senate hearing, I don't believe that God
- 16:26Speaker 2: gives us our rights, and that's what they believe in Iran.
- 16:29Speaker 12: Mr.
- 16:30Speaker 23: Barnes, I was struck by your opening comments, and I
- 16:34Speaker 23: asked to get a copy of them so I could
- 16:36Speaker 23: read them and make sure I quoted them correctly. You state,
- 16:40Speaker 23: and this is a quote from Secretary Rubio, our rights
- 16:43Speaker 23: come from God, our creator, not from our laws, not
- 16:46Speaker 23: from our government. I find that very, very troubling. I'm
- 16:51Speaker 23: a devout person. I was a missionary in Honduras. We've
- 16:54Speaker 23: got other devout folks in this room, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, American.
- 16:58Speaker 2: He leaves the word Catholic out of it.
- 17:00Speaker 23: Rights don't come from laws and don't come from the government,
- 17:04Speaker 23: but come from the creator. That's what the Iranian government believes.
- 17:08Speaker 2: No, the Iranian government believes that you don't have any
- 17:11Speaker 2: rights anyway.
- 17:12Speaker 23: It's a theocratic regime that bases its rule on Shia law.
- 17:17Speaker 2: And again, it is such a convenient mischaracterization. Their Bible
- 17:23Speaker 2: is the law. Their Koran is the law book. It's
- 17:26Speaker 2: what Jefferson, who I also believe represented Virginia in the U.S. government, Tim,
- 17:34Speaker 2: was so fascinated by. But our Constitution insists that your
- 17:42Speaker 2: job is to protect those laws, not give them to us. But,
- 17:48Speaker 2: you know, people are concerned about this Supreme Court case
- 17:51Speaker 2: because it puts us in that place. Jim Wood, our
- 17:55Speaker 2: friend from Big Ridge Guns and Archery, one of our sponsors,
- 18:01Speaker 2: was talking to me about it. He's one of the
- 18:03Speaker 2: highest-ranking gun trainers in Virginia.
- 18:07Speaker 24: Well, you know, everybody has their conspiracy beliefs and thoughts.
- 18:10Speaker 24: You know, with the Supreme Court coming out and saying
- 18:13Speaker 24: in their fall session that they would kind of definitively–
- 18:17Speaker 24: But where the AR or semi-automatics type rifles, where they're
- 18:22Speaker 24: at in American history as the most popular firearm in
- 18:26Speaker 24: America right now, that's going to take all the wind
- 18:31Speaker 24: out of the sails of the anti-gun lobby saying that
- 18:33Speaker 24: it is a military weapon.
- 18:36Speaker 20: So I think because of that.
- 18:37Speaker 24: A lot of the state officials and all have kind
- 18:41Speaker 24: of backed off on it a little bit until we
- 18:43Speaker 24: exactly hear what the Supreme Court has to say.
- 18:47Speaker 2: And it probably will not be until the spring of
- 18:50Speaker 2: next year when we have that ruling on this. But
- 18:59Speaker 2: they'll address the question of whether assault weapon bans are
- 19:04Speaker 2: consistent with the Second Amendment. And I think most of
- 19:09Speaker 2: us would sit here and say, duh, of course they're not.
- 19:13Speaker 2: Of course they're not because... They're based on ridiculous things
- 19:19Speaker 2: like what the weapon looks like because the AR-15 looks militaristic,
- 19:25Speaker 2: looks serious. It's not something you'd see on the riflemen
- 19:30Speaker 2: or something like that. Does, for the most part, the
- 19:34Speaker 2: same thing. They're going to hear a pair of cases,
- 19:44Speaker 2: restrictions put in by Cook County, Illinois and Connecticut. whether
- 19:51Speaker 2: the Second Amendment guarantees the right to possess AR-15s and
- 19:55Speaker 2: or semi-automatic rifles. And this is why the Bill of
- 19:59Speaker 2: Rights was so brilliant from where I sit. You can
- 20:03Speaker 2: tell me they were wrong. You can tell me because
- 20:08Speaker 2: they didn't write the word gun in the Bill of Rights.
- 20:15Speaker 2: Second Amendment does not say the word gun in it anywhere.
- 20:19Speaker 2: It doesn't say firearm. It doesn't say muzzle loading. It
- 20:25Speaker 2: doesn't say anything about rifled or silenced or muzzled or
- 20:30Speaker 2: anything like that. It says you have a God-given right
- 20:35Speaker 2: to keep and bear arms. As a matter of fact,
- 20:40Speaker 2: it says your right to keep and bear arms shall
- 20:45Speaker 2: not be infringed. And the fascinating thing is, to me,
- 20:52Speaker 2: number one, that it's so clear that it survived this
- 20:55Speaker 2: long in its clarity. And I get it. You don't
- 21:00Speaker 2: want somebody pulling a gun on you. That's a different issue.
- 21:05Speaker 2: And the conflators on the left want you to mix
- 21:10Speaker 2: whether or not you want somebody to pull a gun
- 21:13Speaker 2: on you with whether or not you should be able
- 21:17Speaker 2: to pull a gun back. And I know I've got
- 21:22Speaker 2: plenty of people arguing the Martin Luther King, violence only
- 21:25Speaker 2: begets violence. I've got plenty of Sixth Commandment emails. I
- 21:32Speaker 2: testify on the Sixth Commandment that says thou shalt not
- 21:35Speaker 2: murder Because I think if somebody is threatening my life
- 21:44Speaker 2: or my wife or my family, I'm going to defend myself.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Just as a warning to you. Before you think about it.
- 21:54Speaker 2: But the clarity of that Second Amendment should be obvious.
- 22:02Speaker 5: In a study, it was found that 33% of 44
- 22:05Speaker 5: herbal supplements had no trace of the advertised herb. Don't

- 23:10Speaker 16: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
- 23:14Speaker 16: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
- 23:17Speaker 16: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
- 23:21Speaker 16: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
- 23:23Speaker 16: the rule. Many high-end or luxury vehicles call for premium
- 23:26Speaker 16: or higher octane fuel. And the reason for this is
- 23:29Speaker 16: not just due to the octane rating. There are better
- 23:31Speaker 16: fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know, too,
- 23:35Speaker 16: that vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
- 23:38Speaker 16: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
- 23:41Speaker 16: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
- 23:44Speaker 16: your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful, you may
- 23:47Speaker 16: find better performance and miles per gallon because you are
- 23:50Speaker 16: cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive. Just
- 23:53Speaker 16: don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them anytime soon.

- 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

- 28:35Speaker 2: do you, Have you ever noticed, I don't know if you,
- 28:39Speaker 2: I'm sure a lot of your students know who Annie
- 28:41Speaker 2: Agar is. No, please. But he's being facetious with me
- 28:49Speaker 2: now here. I noticed that she just, and this is
- 28:53Speaker 2: when advertising runs amok. So, you know, I'm all for branding,
- 28:57Speaker 2: and Mac's reports are brought to you by the Lunch
- 28:59Speaker 2: Pail Foundation. As a matter of fact, I've got a
- 29:01Speaker 2: lunch pail right behind me here in the studio. I
- 29:03Speaker 2: see that.
- 29:04Speaker 17: It looks good.
- 29:05Speaker 2: What's important now, getting kids scholarships, and I have nothing
- 29:08Speaker 2: against sponsorship, but just do your reports with a twisted
- 29:14Speaker 2: T sitting next to you. Don't dedicate an entire report,
- 29:19Speaker 2: every third report, to just you hanging out with a
- 29:21Speaker 2: twisted T. I can do that. I get it. I
- 29:24Speaker 2: understand branding. I'm not being negative.

- 29:40Speaker 2: And you're like, oh, Jerry.
- 29:43Speaker 17: You know, in movie placement, they do that all the time.
- 29:45Speaker 17: They battle for which.
- 29:48Speaker 2: Part, so it's good. Can you imagine how much more
- 29:51Speaker 2: they could have paid Steve McQueen if they went to
- 29:53Speaker 2: the Ford Motor Company and said, you want to use
- 29:55Speaker 2: a Mustang?
- 29:55Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 29:56Speaker 17: We saw, you know, the Mecham car auction. We saw
- 30:00Speaker 17: a buddy of mine, a fraternity brother who lives in Claremont,
- 30:04Speaker 17: not far from me. And we go to the Mecham
- 30:05Speaker 17: auction every year. And it was a couple of years
- 30:07Speaker 17: ago they had the Mustang for sale, the Steve McQueen Mustang.
- 30:10Speaker 17: And it was, it was, it looked like it sat
- 30:12Speaker 17: in a junkyard for, I mean, it was awful. It
- 30:14Speaker 17: was rusted. But it was the actual car. Yeah, but
- 30:18Speaker 17: it was the actual car used in the movie. And
- 30:20Speaker 17: it went for like $ 1. 5 million, you know, in the
- 30:23Speaker 17: Mecham auction. So it was, yeah, it was crazy. All right.
- 30:27Speaker 17: The Mecham auction sold Elvis' plane. They had it sitting
- 30:32Speaker 17: on a runway. Yeah, they flashed a picture.
- 30:36Speaker 2: There was a reality show around that auction for a while.
- 30:39Speaker 17: Oh, the auctioneers are the best, though. I go to
- 30:43Speaker 17: listen to the auctioneers. They're too good. All right. A
- 30:47Speaker 17: lot has happened over the last 24 to 48 hours.
- 30:51Speaker 17: from the sports world. First of all, just a delightful
- 30:55Speaker 17: moment because Aaron Judge is really a good guy. You
- 30:58Speaker 17: got to root for him. 60-day rehab on his rib
- 31:00Speaker 17: cage after he tried to catch a fly ball in
- 31:03Speaker 17: late May. He went 0-3 last night. He played six
- 31:06Speaker 17: innings against the Rockies. Was not happy he got pulled.
- 31:10Speaker 17: The Yankees won 5-3. Judge in his first outing wanted
- 31:13Speaker 17: to stay in the game, Aaron Boone, and he went 0-3.
- 31:16Speaker 17: He had a warning track fly ball. He struck out twice.
- 31:18Speaker 1: No big deal.
- 31:19Speaker 17: But judge, you know, say, yeah, I got to get
- 31:22Speaker 17: my timing back.
- 31:23Speaker 2: A lot to do. I feel great.
- 31:24Speaker 25: I just haven't, haven't been a live game or seen
- 31:27Speaker 25: live pitching.
- 31:28Speaker 2: You know, three months.
- 31:29Speaker 21: So it's kind of like, you know, the start of
- 31:31Speaker 21: the year, but I got work to do, you know,
- 31:32Speaker 21: I got to improve and we'll keep improving as this
- 31:35Speaker 21: goes along.
- 31:36Speaker 2: Cause we got ball games to win. So that's the
- 31:37Speaker 2: most important thing.
- 31:38Speaker 17: Okay. I almost hate to return to the plight of
- 31:42Speaker 17: LSU and this documentary that is SEC football, but I, I,
- 31:47Speaker 17: I have to, I have to, because in an amended
- 31:51Speaker 17: complaint filed in the U S district court, For the
- 31:53Speaker 17: Northern District of Alabama, the SEC is arguing it has
- 31:57Speaker 17: the authority now to remove LSU from the conference. LSU
- 32:02Speaker 17: officials have already called the Atlantic Coast Conference.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Didn't I tell you this yesterday?
- 32:08Speaker 17: This is Joe Thomas.
- 32:09Speaker 2: Yo, never mind Kalshi. You should just bank me.
- 32:15Speaker 17: Yeah, the Kalshi story is a whole other thing. So
- 32:18Speaker 17: the request for a temporary restraining order. seeks to protect
- 32:21Speaker 17: the SEC Thursday meeting, it's tomorrow, and the vote on
- 32:25Speaker 17: the future of LSU's residency in the league. Josh Pate
- 32:29Speaker 17: is the four-letter college football insider who's really, really good.
- 32:32Speaker 17: He was on the Rich Eisen show yesterday, and he
- 32:35Speaker 17: just said, look, I know the SEC wants to flex
- 32:39Speaker 17: its muscles. There's another word for it I'm not going
- 32:43Speaker 17: to use on the airwaves. However, Josh Pate says, now
- 32:46Speaker 17: this really can't happen.
- 32:48Speaker 27: I just think what it is is threatened to be
- 32:51Speaker 27: grounded for a year so that when I ground you
- 32:53Speaker 27: for six months, whatever that means here, figuratively, you kind
- 32:57Speaker 27: of wipe the sweat off your brow a little bit,
- 32:59Speaker 27: but there's a reassertion of authority and there's a resetting
- 33:03Speaker 27: of the hierarchy of who's really in charge. It's, it's
- 33:05Speaker 27: the SEC trying to do the, the look at me.
- 33:09Speaker 27: I'm the Somali pirate.
- 33:10Speaker 2: I'm in charge. So, so, so this is, If I
- 33:18Speaker 2: understand the metaphor correctly, this is the SEC saying to
- 33:24Speaker 2: LSU basically what the NCAA says to the SEC. No, no,
- 33:29Speaker 2: you think you're in charge here.
- 33:31Speaker 17: You think you're in charge, but you're really not. And
- 33:34Speaker 17: all the paperwork and everything, because the SEC is saying, look,
- 33:37Speaker 17: we have every right. I mean, attorneys have looked at it.
- 33:40Speaker 17: These attorneys got to be laughing at lunch every day.
- 33:44Speaker 17: In an article from the USA Today, the amended complaint
- 33:47Speaker 17: fills in what happened in the five days between the
- 33:49Speaker 17: original filing and now. This attorney said, you know, you've
- 33:53Speaker 17: got to look at September 3rd, the injunction, all over
- 33:56Speaker 17: these two players. By the way, LSU's new roster added
- 34:00Speaker 17: two guys, and it's not Daquan Wright and Zabian Harris.
- 34:04Speaker 17: Those two guys are not on the roster now because
- 34:07Speaker 17: the LSU people are telling the brass, they're telling Lane Kiffin, no,
- 34:12Speaker 17: you can't. They're taking the threat from the SEC.
- 34:17Speaker 2: You know who should tap into this? I think he's
- 34:22Speaker 2: got eligibility. Johnny Football. Johnny Manziel.
- 34:27Speaker 1: Oh, that's what we need.
- 34:28Speaker 17: Yeah, we need Johnny Manziel. Yeah, he was a model citizen, too,
- 34:33Speaker 17: wasn't he? You know, gets the assignment with the Browns,
- 34:35Speaker 17: goes to a wedding and stays four days. He gets
- 34:37Speaker 17: laid for a game.
- 34:38Speaker 28: All right.
- 34:39Speaker 17: Anyway, the informal meeting of the 15 SEC presidents on
- 34:43Speaker 17: September 4th without the LSU president in the room where
- 34:47Speaker 17: they reached consensus that the membership was no longer tenable.
- 34:50Speaker 2: You know, that's one of those legal words.
- 34:52Speaker 13: I love it.
- 34:52Speaker 17: So anyway, they'll talk tomorrow. A lot of people will
- 34:56Speaker 17: start to cover it, and it'll be, you know, a
- 34:59Speaker 17: big thing. So if that wasn't enough for sports, I
- 35:02Speaker 17: told you, I should have the game.
- 35:04Speaker 2: The Atlantic Coast Conference has already reached out to LSU.
- 35:07Speaker 14: No, no, no, no.
- 35:08Speaker 17: LSU reached out to the ACC.
- 35:09Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
- 35:10Speaker 17: Yeah, so that's the report. Thank you for listening. It
- 35:13Speaker 17: wasn't Jim Phillips going, look, I know we got power
- 35:15Speaker 17: problems in Tallahassee. To hell with that. We'll get LSU,
- 35:18Speaker 17: and they won't.
- 35:19Speaker 9: All right.
- 35:19Speaker 17: So now if that wasn't enough. The NCAA is issuing
- 35:24Speaker 17: new guidance now, quote, to establish a standard timing protocol
- 35:30Speaker 17: that ensures consistency in the administration of a college football game.
- 35:34Speaker 17: I'm telling you, I've got to build the Parker Brothers game,
- 35:38Speaker 17: roll the dice, go around the square, because who would
- 35:40Speaker 17: believe you draw a card and says, well, guess what?
- 35:43Speaker 17: Timing screwed up a whole game. Western Michigan should have...
- 35:48Speaker 17: I mean, and really... The people have said, hey, Western Michigan,
- 35:53Speaker 17: just play better or just make the play. Forget about
- 35:55Speaker 17: the clock. Never control the clock. So anyway, now, but
- 35:58Speaker 17: here's the sentence. You've got to love this guy. Western
- 36:02Speaker 17: Michigan president who is named Russ Cavaluna. And he said, look,
- 36:08Speaker 17: we have to move on. I think I used the
- 36:10Speaker 17: quote yesterday. Don't be bitter, be better, right? All right,
- 36:14Speaker 17: here's the president.
- 36:16Speaker 22: But this is a remarkable opportunity for us to look
- 36:19Speaker 22: forward and to say to these people, these young men,
- 36:22Speaker 22: and frankly, influence everyone around us that when this kind
- 36:25Speaker 22: of thing happens, you take a hard look. And then
- 36:27Speaker 22: if the system is set such that you can't review it,
- 36:30Speaker 22: then you use this as.
- 36:31Speaker 2: An opportunity to learn.
- 36:32Speaker 22: Because the truth is, If this team is great, and
- 36:35Speaker 22: I believe we can prove we are great, then this
- 36:37Speaker 22: will make us stronger.
- 36:40Speaker 17: You've got to love a president who says, you know what?
- 36:42Speaker 2: Okay. We were the Palooka.
- 36:44Speaker 17: We were Rocky Balboa. We had a sinking problem. If
- 36:47Speaker 17: we make the play in the beginning or even the second,
- 36:50Speaker 17: you shouldn't have been a second Hail Mary anyway. So
- 36:53Speaker 17: it still.
- 36:54Speaker 2: Should have been.
- 36:54Speaker 17: You're Michigan.
- 36:56Speaker 2: Who was it that lost? It was Michigan that lost
- 36:59Speaker 2: to App State.
- 37:00Speaker 17: You lost to App State. That's exactly right. And then
- 37:04Speaker 17: the Michigan kids, they stormed the field with a win
- 37:08Speaker 17: over Western.
- 37:08Speaker 2: Oh, I know what it is now. Nobody was stealing signs.
- 37:14Speaker 2: They kicked the guy out of the stands. He didn't
- 37:16Speaker 2: have the plays.
- 37:18Speaker 17: Western Michigan knew it was going to be a Hail Mary.
- 37:20Speaker 17: And so that's exactly right. And that's why, yeah. Anyway,
- 37:23Speaker 17: it just gets better. and better and better. And not
- 37:27Speaker 17: to mention Ben Shelton with a, if you've, I watched
- 37:30Speaker 17: the highlights of Ben Shelton and Alcaraz last night in
- 37:34Speaker 17: the U S open. My goodness. What tennis three 33
- 37:39Speaker 17: in the morning, four and a half hours. And Ben
- 37:41Speaker 17: Shelton moves on to the semifinals. It was Alcaraz his
- 37:45Speaker 17: first loss.
- 37:46Speaker 2: I want to point out Mac has made me a liar.
- 37:48Speaker 2: I don't. And for those who think we script this beforehand, I,
- 37:52Speaker 2: I thought we were going to talk about the live
- 37:53Speaker 2: golf collapse.
- 37:55Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
- 37:55Speaker 17: Bankruptcy. We'll talk about that tomorrow. We'll cover that tomorrow.
- 38:01Speaker 15: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting
- 38:05Speaker 15: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding.
- 38:08Speaker 4: Or abolishing the police?
- 38:11Speaker 15: At a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of
- 38:14Speaker 15: police the most, some elected officials would rather create more
- 38:17Speaker 15: chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of elected officials
- 38:21Speaker 15: caving in to demands of the radical left, you're not alone.
- 38:25Speaker 15: It's time we stand up and declare our support for
- 38:28Speaker 15: local police. The majority of police officers are important partners

- 39:09Speaker 5: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
- 39:14Speaker 5: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 39:18Speaker 5: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.

- 39:28Speaker 5: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age

- 40:33Speaker 28: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
- 40:37Speaker 28: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
- 40:42Speaker 28: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that

- 44:14Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
- 44:18Speaker 2: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
- 44:24Speaker 2: on this Ted's Day, the day where we celebrate your
- 44:27Speaker 2: inner Tedness. That is the knowledge of what God has
- 44:31Speaker 2: put you here on earth to do, the expertise to
- 44:34Speaker 2: apply it vigorously to a grateful constituency who then rewards
- 44:39Speaker 2: you justly. And then you don't have to care about
- 44:42Speaker 2: what they say about you on Facebook or whatever, Instacart
- 44:49Speaker 2: or whatever social media platforms are these days. You don't
- 44:53Speaker 2: have to worry about it. The people who know, know.
- 44:58Speaker 2: And those who don't, you feel for them. You want
- 45:01Speaker 2: them to know. But it's not going to keep you
- 45:04Speaker 2: up at night saying, gosh, I don't know. And that's really,
- 45:07Speaker 2: you know, abstract. One of the bigger problems in our
- 45:09Speaker 2: country is because we have convinced ourselves that everything is
- 45:13Speaker 2: a popularity game. This is why the mean girls that
- 45:17Speaker 2: never grew up from high school, the cliques that used
- 45:22Speaker 2: to eat up everyone's high school lives are still what
- 45:26Speaker 2: we're feeling these days. Got to go get rid of it. Dr.
- 45:32Speaker 2: Clark is on the line with us, says he wants
- 45:34Speaker 2: to talk about the Live Golf Tour collapse. Really, Clark?
- 45:38Speaker 2: I didn't know you were into that. Or is it
- 45:40Speaker 2: just the fact that, hey, we found out where Saudi
- 45:44Speaker 2: money runs out?
- 45:46Speaker 20: No, I'm not into golf. But here's the thing. The
- 45:51Speaker 20: reason why did they go bankrupt, Joe?
- 45:55Speaker 2: The Saudis pulled their money.
- 45:56Speaker 20: People were watching their product, right?
- 45:59Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because eventually it stopped being just a vanity
- 46:02Speaker 2: exercise for, you know, some sheiks of Arabic. And what?
- 46:07Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I was told that was a racist comment.
- 46:10Speaker 2: I thought they were a marginalized community. I'm sorry. I digress.
- 46:14Speaker 2: But anyway, so, yes, they stopped just giving it money
- 46:18Speaker 2: and said, hey, now turn a profit. And they couldn't
- 46:21Speaker 2: do it.
- 46:22Speaker 20: And they couldn't do it.
- 46:23Speaker 29: And the reason they couldn't do it is because you
- 46:25Speaker 29: got pretty limited fan base there. it's either people that
- 46:29Speaker 29: do or did play golf is primarily going to be
- 46:32Speaker 29: your fan base.
- 46:33Speaker 20: And they tend to televise these things.
- 46:35Speaker 29: When Joe on the weekend, when people that do play
- 46:39Speaker 29: golf are probably out playing it and not watching it.
- 46:42Speaker 20: And it's got a very limited appeal to non golfers.
- 46:45Speaker 2: Well, but here's the thing. Here's the interesting thing is
- 46:48Speaker 2: that pro golf PGA golf will broadcast on the weekends and, and,
- 46:53Speaker 2: Because it's a weekend long thing. If you go out
- 46:56Speaker 2: and play golf and one of the reasons I enjoy
- 46:59Speaker 2: golf and I was not half bad at it, but
- 47:02Speaker 2: I just never had four or five hours to just
- 47:07Speaker 2: cut out of my weekends, especially once my kids were born.
- 47:11Speaker 2: I'm like, I can't just disappear for five hours. And
- 47:16Speaker 2: then come back and have everyone say, oh, we missed
- 47:19Speaker 2: you so much. I mean, I got stuff to do. So,
- 47:21Speaker 2: you know, a lot of, you know, even the people
- 47:24Speaker 2: who play golf are only going to play for four
- 47:26Speaker 2: or five, six hours on a weekend. So they'll watch
- 47:29Speaker 2: a pro tournament. They'll sit down after or around Saturday
- 47:33Speaker 2: morning and say, hey, let me see what Scotty Scheffler did.
- 47:36Speaker 29: What are we constantly being told about baseball? We need
- 47:39Speaker 29: to do this, that, and the other thing to speed
- 47:41Speaker 29: the game up.
- 47:42Speaker 20: So let's see.
- 47:44Speaker 29: How could we get more people to watch the golf?
- 47:47Speaker 29: Let's just call it the three D's, Joe. Do you
- 47:51Speaker 29: ever go to UFC stuff or watch any kind.
- 47:55Speaker 2: Of in the octagon? Yeah, I've watched it. I mean,
- 47:58Speaker 2: great fascination.
- 47:59Speaker 21: Yeah.
- 47:59Speaker 20: They have ring card girls. Okay.
- 48:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 48:04Speaker 20: Now, if we say whole card girls, that's going to
- 48:08Speaker 20: sound bad. So let's go with the card girls.
- 48:11Speaker 27: Okay.
- 48:11Speaker 20: Okay.
- 48:13Speaker 29: Go to the local club, get some females scantily clad,
- 48:18Speaker 29: and they'll tell us what P they're on with a.
- 48:21Speaker 20: Card when it starts on each hole. Okay.
- 48:24Speaker 29: Number one, number two, let's introduce some kind of defensive play.
- 48:30Speaker 29: Now I'm thinking you got a guy out there.
- 48:33Speaker 20: If he could catch your drive in the air, he
- 48:37Speaker 20: gets to check it in the woods.
- 48:40Speaker 26: Or something.
- 48:43Speaker 20: And thing number three, the dog.
- 48:47Speaker 29: Once that ball hits the green, from where the tee was,
- 48:52Speaker 29: they're turning loose the Malinois. Your gate to get the
- 48:56Speaker 29: hell off of that green opens when you put the
- 49:00Speaker 29: ball in the hole, and the dog's coming. That's when
- 49:04Speaker 29: you squeeze the game up and add an element of excitement.
- 49:10Speaker 2: It's really danger, peril. Make this putt or the dog
- 49:15Speaker 2: gets you.
- 49:17Speaker 29: He's hit the wedge. The ball is on the ground.
- 49:20Speaker 29: The dog is loose. Look at it go. Look at
- 49:22Speaker 29: it go.
- 49:22Speaker 8: Look at it go.
- 49:23Speaker 2: I think it adds a whole new sponsor level, too,
- 49:28Speaker 2: because now you can get Purina and, you know, Imes
- 49:32Speaker 2: and all these other companies to sponsor golf that never
- 49:35Speaker 2: did before.
- 49:36Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 49:38Speaker 2: It's just like, I like, I don't know about the
- 49:42Speaker 2: defensive end of it. The, the whole, you know, I,
- 49:45Speaker 2: I would say, you know, if, if you don't get
- 49:47Speaker 2: to your ball in time, you know, both golfers get
- 49:50Speaker 2: to run down the fairway and you get to choose.
- 49:53Speaker 2: Do you hit your ball or the other guy's ball?
- 49:56Speaker 2: And you have to make the choice. Do I hit
- 49:58Speaker 2: my ball towards the green or his ball into the woods?
- 50:01Speaker 20: Or if you get to the other guy's ball first,
- 50:04Speaker 20: you can whack it over in the rough. I don't care. Something.
- 50:08Speaker 2: Make it more of a spectator sport. Well, good. You've
- 50:11Speaker 2: saved live golf now. Now we just need money because
- 50:14Speaker 2: from what I'm told, they're in between $ 500 million and
- 50:18Speaker 2: $ 1 billion in the hole. My goodness. in a year.
- 50:28Speaker 2: I thought I was having tough times financially in my business,
- 50:31Speaker 2: and I just have a capital expenditure issue. We're earning,
- 50:35Speaker 2: but we've got to fix stuff. As somebody said a
- 50:41Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, there's apparently a website for automobiles
- 50:45Speaker 2: called Ran When Parked. I guess it's a joke site
- 50:50Speaker 2: because that's a thing you advertise an automobile. Ran When Parked?
- 50:55Speaker 2: and there's a tree growing through the engine block or
- 50:59Speaker 2: some sort of thing. But that was what somebody said. Joe,
- 51:03Speaker 2: you should just say that your flagship station ran when
- 51:06Speaker 2: it was parked, and now you're just sort of out
- 51:09Speaker 2: there trying to replace all the parts and try to
- 51:13Speaker 2: get it back to what it was. It sounds almost
- 51:15Speaker 2: like it was somebody saying earlier that Steve McQueen's Mustang
- 51:20Speaker 2: was all rusted and rotted out and still went for $ 1. 5 million.
- 51:26Speaker 20: You know, that car, wow. Was that a 68 or
- 51:32Speaker 20: a 69?
- 51:32Speaker 2: It was a 68. It was smaller. 69 was a bigger.
- 51:36Speaker 2: That was when they started to get real nose-heavy.
- 51:39Speaker 20: That's when they ruined it and stretched it out, wasn't it?
- 51:41Speaker 2: Yeah, they got real nose-heavy and everything. Yeah, yeah. If
- 51:47Speaker 2: you owned Steve McQueen's Mustang, why would you leave it
- 51:51Speaker 2: out in the yard? It's just... did you not know?
- 51:56Speaker 20: You gotta wonder about that.
- 51:59Speaker 29: And the thing is, is like, you get you a
- 52:00Speaker 29: JC Whitney catalog, you can buy that whole car.
- 52:06Speaker 2: Oh, just for parts. I guess so.
- 52:07Speaker 29: But I think, I think like aftermarket parts for that car. Oh,
- 52:15Speaker 29: at least now look, I'm talking like 35 years ago. Um, But, yeah,
- 52:22Speaker 29: that was easier to get aftermarket parts for.
- 52:24Speaker 20: Than a VW or something, you know?
- 52:29Speaker 2: Ford will do that. Anyway, Clark, good stuff there. And
- 52:32Speaker 2: thank you for saving the live golf tour.
- 52:35Speaker 20: There you go. Just think about the T-card girls when
- 52:37Speaker 20: you get bored or whatever.
- 52:39Speaker 2: Don King used to have them for boxing matches, whatever
- 52:41Speaker 2: happened with that. I'm glad they're still around for the
- 52:44Speaker 2: squared circle. No, no, the octagon. The octagon.
- 52:48Speaker 20: Memory of Bill Vick.
- 52:51Speaker 8: You know, it's true.
- 52:52Speaker 30: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
- 52:55Speaker 30: to think about what matters most when it comes to
