- 0:35Speaker 5: Joe.
- 0:35Speaker 6: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
- 0:37Speaker 6: this morning. Four three four eight A two four two
- 0:43Speaker 6: one seven. That is our phone number. That is how
- 0:45Speaker 6: you interact with us once I tell you what went
- 0:48Speaker 6: on while you slept, and we give you our analysis
- 0:52Speaker 6: of it. You could even jump in before I give
- 0:54Speaker 6: my analysis of it. Lord only knows I get enough
- 0:58Speaker 6: time to tell you what I think of something. Q Q,
- 1:03Speaker 6: Bob and Doug for a second here, just.
- 1:06Speaker 2: This is dj Pox.
- 1:07Speaker 7: Don't say anything, okay.
- 1:10Speaker 6: Apro of well perhaps everything. My friend Nick fretis posted
- 1:16Speaker 6: a really really good, thoughtful approach to this, and Mark
- 1:20Speaker 6: Carney may have weighed in on it.
- 1:22Speaker 8: Good day, and welcome to our singer him Bob McKenzie.
- 1:25Speaker 6: And this is my brother Doug.
- 1:26Speaker 7: I've been going a.
- 1:29Speaker 2: Beauty.
- 1:30Speaker 9: Yeah, I like that.
- 1:31Speaker 6: So it has to do with the troubles in Minneapolis.
- 1:37Speaker 4: It's a beauty, way.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Decent saying your name. Yeah, it's good.
- 1:44Speaker 10: Okay, I think I have a compromise this whole Minnesota thing.
- 1:48Speaker 10: Not everyone's gonna be happy, That's what happens with compromises.
- 1:51Speaker 7: But just cher me out.
- 1:52Speaker 10: We give Minnesota to Canada and exchange for Alberta. Now wait,
- 1:57Speaker 10: just listen. Listen. Canada it's what it likes Marxists and
- 2:02Speaker 10: refugees which to fraud their welfare system, and America gets
- 2:05Speaker 10: what it likes, normal people.
- 2:09Speaker 7: And and oil, lots lots of oil. I'm just saying
- 2:12Speaker 7: it's with consider.
- 2:15Speaker 6: So you'd be able to go see an edmundton Euler's
- 2:17Speaker 6: game a little bit more frequently. There to that. But
- 2:20Speaker 6: I bring this up because Mark Carney is now saying
- 2:24Speaker 6: the US should stay out of Alberta's separatist movement. Old
- 2:29Speaker 6: is this starting to sound like the script of a
- 2:31Speaker 6: George Lucas space epic.
- 2:34Speaker 11: The Alberta Prosperity Project has received approval to collect signatures
- 2:40Speaker 11: in support of a referendum seeking to make the province
- 2:43Speaker 11: an independent country.
- 2:45Speaker 6: An independence vote would be held early this fall. I
- 2:50Speaker 6: want to get these people in with the Vexit movement,
- 2:53Speaker 6: the people in western Virginia that want to make the
- 2:56Speaker 6: John Denver song. Finally, apropos again, do you think do
- 3:00Speaker 6: you know Alberta for Minnesota. I mean, it would change Congress.
- 3:04Speaker 6: We wouldn't have to worry about redistrict thing, would we?
- 3:09Speaker 6: And I chuggle about this because for most of my
- 3:13Speaker 6: conscious life through teenhood, visited Montreal. My only international trip
- 3:21Speaker 6: I've ever taken, if you remember the Bush administration overseas,
- 3:27Speaker 6: but the only time I've ever been outside of the
- 3:31Speaker 6: United States was to go to Montreal and Toronto, and
- 3:35Speaker 6: some of those visitations when we lived in Buffalo, my
- 3:38Speaker 6: mother and I when I was a teenager, we went
- 3:41Speaker 6: up to Montreal on the train. It was great. Montreal
- 3:45Speaker 6: is a wild, weird city and a boy. They have
- 3:48Speaker 6: some fun with you if you're if you're the English,
- 3:50Speaker 6: as they say in Amish country. But they've been trying
- 3:55Speaker 6: to separate from Canada forever. This is why they continue
- 3:58Speaker 6: to have a second language over the rest of Canada.
- 4:04Speaker 6: How would they feel if Alberta successfully secedes from Canada
- 4:09Speaker 6: by popular vote? What would would the Mounties then have
- 4:12Speaker 6: to ride in and interesting times. Then we could work
- 4:17Speaker 6: out a deal. The President is a deal maker. Our
- 4:20Speaker 6: first things this morning, Department of Health and Human Services
- 4:23Speaker 6: overturned a Biden administration rule mandating that retail pharmacies receiving
- 4:28Speaker 6: any federal funding had to carry and dispense mifipristone or
- 4:33Speaker 6: misaprostall the methot treks eight. These are the drugs that
- 4:39Speaker 6: are called the morning after pills. HHS Office for Civil Rights,
- 4:43Speaker 6: which made the announcement in the Federal Register, said it
- 4:47Speaker 6: was rescinding the guidance quote to end the force use
- 4:50Speaker 6: of taxpayer dollars to fund and promote elective abortion. President Trump,
- 4:59Speaker 6: speaking of drugs, signed an executive order yesterday aimed at
- 5:03Speaker 6: coordinating a federal response to drug addiction and substance abuse,
- 5:07Speaker 6: which would create quote the White House Great American Recovery Initiative.
- 5:12Speaker 6: It would advise federal agencies on directing grants to support
- 5:16Speaker 6: addiction and recovery, and increase awareness about drug addiction. According
- 5:20Speaker 6: to the White House, President Trump and Senate Democrats late
- 5:25Speaker 6: last night struck a deal to avert another partial government
- 5:29Speaker 6: shut down today and fund the Department of Homeland Security
- 5:32Speaker 6: for two more weeks. Negotiations continue on whether or not
- 5:37Speaker 6: the Democrats will be successful in restricting what they're allowed
- 5:40Speaker 6: to do in immigration enforcement. Under the agreement, the Senate
- 5:44Speaker 6: would pass five of the six spending bills that have
- 5:47Speaker 6: already cleared the House, funding most of the federal government
- 5:50Speaker 6: for the rest of the fiscal year. Yes, I believe
- 5:53Speaker 6: that includes the tax breaks for Obamacare subsidies. And then
- 6:00Speaker 6: they would pass a two week extension for DHS so
- 6:03Speaker 6: that they could distract you with that while people say, wait,
- 6:06Speaker 6: you did what now. House Republicans are proposing sweeping changes
- 6:10Speaker 6: to the nation's voting laws. The Save Act is finally
- 6:14Speaker 6: in the can now. This would require proof of citizenship
- 6:18Speaker 6: and a photo ID to prove such both in place
- 6:22Speaker 6: by twenty twenty seven's elections, and it would prohibit prohibit
- 6:28Speaker 6: universal vote by mail or ranked choice voting. That would
- 6:32Speaker 6: happen immediately. President Trump said he plans to introduce his
- 6:37Speaker 6: choice for Chair of the Federal Reserve today later this morning.
- 6:41Speaker 6: Milania hits the Big screens the documentary about The First
- 6:45Speaker 6: Lady at its gala premiere at the Trump Kennedy Center
- 6:49Speaker 6: last night. Now at fifteen hundred theaters in the United States,
- 6:54Speaker 6: and those are some of our first things on this
- 6:57Speaker 6: Friday morning.
- 7:01Speaker 12: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
- 7:04Speaker 12: people are actually happier with it.
- 7:06Speaker 13: That sounds like something to look into.
- 7:09Speaker 6: And that's meta share.
- 7:10Speaker 12: Maybe you've heard joining meta share can save you or
- 7:12Speaker 12: your family up to five hundred bucks a month, and
- 7:15Speaker 12: that's huge, but it's also true.
- 7:17Speaker 13: People are just happier with it.
- 7:18Speaker 12: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes their.
- 7:21Speaker 13: Values and what they believe in.
- 7:23Speaker 6: Meda Share works too.
- 7:24Speaker 12: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
- 7:27Speaker 12: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
- 7:31Speaker 12: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
- 7:35Speaker 12: So yeah, really you can save a ton and like
- 7:37Speaker 12: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
- 7:40Speaker 12: of your health care, whether you're self employed or part
- 7:42Speaker 12: of the gig economy, or you just want to plan
- 7:45Speaker 12: that you're happy with.

- 8:02Speaker 14: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
- 8:05Speaker 14: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
- 8:07Speaker 14: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected

- 10:03Speaker 16: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
- 10:08Speaker 16: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
- 10:12Speaker 16: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
- 10:15Speaker 16: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
- 10:21Speaker 16: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
- 10:24Speaker 16: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
- 10:27Speaker 16: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is

- 12:30Speaker 4: I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
- 12:35Speaker 5: Probably okay? Isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
- 12:39Speaker 5: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,

- 13:13Speaker 2: Hundred to do list.
- 13:14Speaker 6: Putting the radio on is the first thing today. So
- 13:24Speaker 6: what's behind all these separatist movements? And I would take
- 13:41Speaker 6: a moment and ask John Galt because in this case,
- 13:55Speaker 6: as I'm reading it about Alberta, and it is is
- 14:00Speaker 6: the makers are growing tired, as they did in Atlas
- 14:05Speaker 6: Shrugged of having their work given to other people confiscated.
- 14:15Speaker 6: They've done it and this might be the beginning of
- 14:19Speaker 6: a series of flash points that began with the you
- 14:25Speaker 6: didn't build it comments by the American President. And I
- 14:31Speaker 6: know we have affiliates there along the Canadian border Sandpoint
- 14:35Speaker 6: cayl Spell. But Canada wants out of I mean Alberta
- 14:46Speaker 6: wants out of Canada, because Canada looks at Alberta as
- 14:51Speaker 6: this atm this automatic teller machine that they can just
- 14:55Speaker 6: go to for money because they are a prosperous province
- 15:06Speaker 6: and they're tired of having this happen. This goes into
- 15:10Speaker 6: you know, people talk about all sorts of cessational movements.
- 15:14Speaker 6: What does it mean to have a nation? What is Canada?
- 15:19Speaker 6: What is the United States?
- 15:27Speaker 3: What is the.
- 15:30Speaker 20: What is the.
- 15:32Speaker 6: Merit of it? The director of the University of Virginia
- 15:43Speaker 6: Center for Politics, Larry Sabado, you've seen him on the
- 15:47Speaker 6: cable news, not so much anymore. He's getting up there
- 15:49Speaker 6: in years. He has people like Kyle Condick and folks
- 15:52Speaker 6: like that going out and reading his crystal balls to you.
- 15:59Speaker 6: He wrote a book some twenty years ago about America
- 16:04Speaker 6: being too big to be one country, to have one government.
- 16:15Speaker 6: His argument was that you should at least have four,
- 16:19Speaker 6: if not six, regional governments. It sort of starts to
- 16:23Speaker 6: sound like, you know, every time these sports leagues get
- 16:26Speaker 6: so big because they've expanded.
- 16:31Speaker 21: Well, you know, Tampa Bay is never going to win
- 16:33Speaker 21: in a one least. We need a South division and
- 16:36Speaker 21: a North division, and a West division and a you know,
- 16:41Speaker 21: it becomes crazy.
- 16:43Speaker 6: But that was his theory was that you would have
- 16:46Speaker 6: four to six internal countries and that we like the
- 16:50Speaker 6: European Union and we've seen how well that's working, would
- 16:56Speaker 6: interact as partners in economic zone. But internally we could
- 17:03Speaker 6: you know, have the Northeast doing their rust belt redistribution
- 17:08Speaker 6: of somebody's wealth. I guess they like the European Union.
- 17:11Speaker 6: The Northeast country would take all the money out of
- 17:14Speaker 6: the Southwest country. And that's what's happening in Alberta is
- 17:22Speaker 6: they're tired of being the makers that are supporting the takers,
- 17:34Speaker 6: and it's going to happen eventually. This is what Anne
- 17:37Speaker 6: Ran was talking about, was the idea that eventually that
- 17:44Speaker 6: the takers are going to push too far. And you
- 17:48Speaker 6: saw it even in the Soviet Union, you know, beyond
- 17:52Speaker 6: just the fanciful Atlas Shrug references we've watched did it
- 18:00Speaker 6: actually play out in the collapsing of the Soviet Union,
- 18:05Speaker 6: the collapsing of Poland before the Soviet Union collapsed, the
- 18:14Speaker 6: election of and then the dismissal of people who campaigned
- 18:17Speaker 6: on the idea of breaking up the big centralized government
- 18:21Speaker 6: in Britain. And the problem in Britain was Nigel Farage
- 18:24Speaker 6: convinced the Brits that you could break away from Europe,
- 18:31Speaker 6: and then they did. And then those same people kept saying, hey,
- 18:35Speaker 6: what do we need to be part of Great Britain for?
- 18:38Speaker 6: Why can't we just be England? Why can't we just
- 18:40Speaker 6: be Scotland? And we've seen these movements Scotland, you know,
- 18:44Speaker 6: the national or the international zeitgeist is oh Sean Connery
- 18:50Speaker 6: wanted to be independent. Yeah, And every time it came
- 18:53Speaker 6: to a vote in Scotland it failed because the British,
- 19:01Speaker 6: who owned all the broadcasting, would send in commercials saying
- 19:05Speaker 6: wouldn't it be scary to not have England controlling all
- 19:08Speaker 6: your money? When the Scottish were actually gonna try to
- 19:12Speaker 6: join OPAK because they would have had the North Sea
- 19:15Speaker 6: And then that became the battle, And then there was
- 19:18Speaker 6: the question as to whether there would actually be armed
- 19:20Speaker 6: conflict if Scotland had voted to leave the United Kingdom
- 19:25Speaker 6: and tried to keep control over the North Sea oil.
- 19:29Speaker 6: There might have actually been battles that we haven't seen
- 19:32Speaker 6: since Longshanks took on William Wallace. So this Alberta situation
- 19:46Speaker 6: is something that you have to watch because this is
- 19:50Speaker 6: something that might happen again here. Remember we're talking about
- 19:54Speaker 6: not a new civil war. We're talking about fighting the
- 19:57Speaker 6: same old one where people want a permanent underclass. The
- 20:02Speaker 6: same political parties want a permanent underclass. Democratic Party wants
- 20:08Speaker 6: to defend the people who want to own these permanent
- 20:11Speaker 6: underclass members. And there are many who think they're doing
- 20:16Speaker 6: a kindness for these poor souls who couldn't get by
- 20:19Speaker 6: on their own without them, just like the slave owners
- 20:22Speaker 6: used to argue. And in this case, we'll pay them
- 20:27Speaker 6: a shekel or two, we'll pay them a pittance, but
- 20:29Speaker 6: they won't make as much as a regular American. Maybe
- 20:32Speaker 6: we'll just guarantee to pay them three fifths because that
- 20:37Speaker 6: worked before. You see, what I'm getting at is that
- 20:43Speaker 6: this battle hadn't gone away. There were embers left glowing
- 20:47Speaker 6: in the brush outside of Appomattox Courthouse when Generals Lee
- 20:52Speaker 6: and Grant walked away. And it's now perfectly clear why
- 20:59Speaker 6: they want us to start taking down statues to the
- 21:03Speaker 6: Civil War, including Abraham Lincoln. Lest we actually realize, we're
- 21:10Speaker 6: not fighting a new civil war. We're not facing a
- 21:13Speaker 6: new civil war. We're facing an ignition of the old one.
- 21:19Speaker 6: The Democrat Party defending the permanent underclass, the slave trade,
- 21:26Speaker 6: Republicans at least the president trying to undo it. And
- 21:34Speaker 6: will there be a cessation? Will Texas say I'm not
- 21:37Speaker 6: paying for this anymore? Will Florida say I'm not paying
- 21:39Speaker 6: for this anymore? Ron DeSantis is out there working the
- 21:45Speaker 6: phones for a convention of States, that's the better answer.
- 21:49Speaker 6: There were three attempts at a Convention of States before
- 21:52Speaker 6: the first battles in this American Civil War took place
- 21:57Speaker 6: back in the early eighteen forty.
- 22:01Speaker 22: Hey, guys, I'm Teddy Savage. National League Training for Planet
- 22:04Speaker 22: Fitness and the American Heart Association recommends that we all
- 22:07Speaker 22: get at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate
- 22:10Speaker 22: aerobic activity in a week's time.
- 22:12Speaker 4: But here's the thing that one hundred.
- 22:14Speaker 22: And fifty minutes does not need to be super intense.
- 22:17Speaker 22: As a matter of fact, it could just be you
- 22:18Speaker 22: moving your body and doing what you already love to do,
- 22:21Speaker 22: like exercise. And a stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right,
- 22:25Speaker 22: it means also infusing your workout routines with strength training
- 22:29Speaker 22: as well. So we are super excited to be launching

- 28:42Speaker 6: which will be what the NFL stands for you know,
- 28:45Speaker 6: I after my crash comments about that the other day, Mac,
- 28:50Speaker 6: it was it was interesting that the several folks took
- 28:56Speaker 6: issue with with my depiction, saying that that football is
- 29:01Speaker 6: football and tackling is just not necessarily part of it,
- 29:04Speaker 6: and the athleticism of the receivers and the runners and
- 29:09Speaker 6: the quarterbacks should be on display, not the ability to
- 29:13Speaker 6: be brutal to one another. And I thought that was
- 29:15Speaker 6: an interesting sidebar to that.
- 29:17Speaker 7: But well then again, yeah, what do you think rugby?
- 29:20Speaker 20: Does you know? Now?
- 29:22Speaker 28: Now all I see are scantily clad women having their
- 29:25Speaker 28: underwear pulled as they not that I sit there and
- 29:29Speaker 28: study it.
- 29:29Speaker 6: No, No, just as a sports arcause is my.
- 29:32Speaker 7: Social media path of rugby too.
- 29:36Speaker 28: And I bring today because there's so much, so many
- 29:41Speaker 28: little things I could cover, like the Koepka return he
- 29:43Speaker 28: was one over, Justin Rose going ten under right now
- 29:46Speaker 28: Jonnick Center and Novak Djokovic are in a duel to
- 29:51Speaker 28: face Carlos Okra.
- 29:52Speaker 7: There's just so many other things I could talk about.
- 29:54Speaker 28: But yesterday it was a classic Dan Levatard, who's I've
- 29:59Speaker 28: been a really have liked him as a sports talk
- 30:02Speaker 28: host for a long time and followed all his different
- 30:04Speaker 28: formats and everything you know from ESPN or whatever. He
- 30:07Speaker 28: had al Michael's on yesterday, and I want to bring
- 30:09Speaker 28: to the table to end everybody's Friday on an up note,
- 30:12Speaker 28: because most of our audience, I would think, remembers Howard Cosell.
- 30:16Speaker 7: I sat next to Howard's grandson one year.
- 30:20Speaker 28: It was after the passing and I sat next to
- 30:22Speaker 28: him on a bus in Salisbury, North Carolina.
- 30:25Speaker 7: It was the awards weekend or whatever, and Howard was
- 30:27Speaker 7: being honored. But anyway, Howard.
- 30:29Speaker 28: Cosell was one of the great and one of the
- 30:32Speaker 28: just colorful, colorful people in the business. So there's a
- 30:36Speaker 28: great story that al Michael has in his book and
- 30:39Speaker 28: he told it yesterday in Levatory. So I'm gonna set
- 30:42Speaker 28: it up for you because it's so good. Howard Cosell.
- 30:45Speaker 28: They were going to dinner. They were in Atlanta, and
- 30:48Speaker 28: they always had.
- 30:49Speaker 6: The same.
- 30:51Speaker 28: A limo driver name was Peggy. He always had the
- 30:53Speaker 28: same limo driver, and Howard always went to dinner. He
- 30:56Speaker 28: brought one jacket on trips and he had the yellow
- 30:59Speaker 28: jacket on his ABC blazer, and so he put They're
- 31:03Speaker 28: at a corner at a stoplight and a fight breaks
- 31:06Speaker 28: out in this Atlanta area.
- 31:08Speaker 7: There's these guys is fighting.
- 31:10Speaker 28: So anyway, Cosell tells Peggy stop the car and he
- 31:14Speaker 28: gets out von katonic in hend because he's at a
- 31:16Speaker 28: roadie its gets out of the limo and well, all
- 31:20Speaker 28: these guys, you know, all these kids.
- 31:21Speaker 7: There's two guys fighting, there's kids cheering or whatever. There's
- 31:24Speaker 7: a group of kids. Cosell lets him have it and
- 31:28Speaker 7: he goes.
- 31:29Speaker 29: It's quite apparent to this trained observer the young south
- 31:32Speaker 29: Poard does not have a jab requisite for the continuation
- 31:35Speaker 29: of this free further them, his opponent is a man
- 31:38Speaker 29: of inferior in diminishing skills.
- 31:39Speaker 28: So after he delivers this coverage of this fight, they stopped.
- 31:45Speaker 28: The fight stops and everybody, the kids, their mouths are open,
- 31:49Speaker 28: they got hats. So he's signing a couple of autographs
- 31:52Speaker 28: and you know, talking to him whatever.
- 31:54Speaker 7: So he gets back.
- 31:55Speaker 28: He gets back in the limo and there's silence, and
- 31:57Speaker 28: al Michaels doesn't know what to say. So they drive
- 32:02Speaker 28: about two blocks in total silence, and Peggy is in
- 32:05Speaker 28: another light.
- 32:06Speaker 7: She stops the limo and she's well.
- 32:09Speaker 9: Let ol Michaels tell the story and says, mister Cochell,
- 32:12Speaker 9: I've been driving for thirty years. I thought I'd seen everything.
- 32:15Speaker 9: I have never seen anything like that. And Howard leans back.
- 32:20Speaker 9: Howard leans back and says to her, PEGARO, just remember
- 32:25Speaker 9: one thing I know who.
- 32:28Speaker 20: I am.
- 32:32Speaker 28: Is that to me is probably one of my top
- 32:35Speaker 28: ten top t top ten sports stories of all time.
- 32:39Speaker 6: And you know, meaning you know and of course meaning
- 32:41Speaker 6: knowing how important he was to the sport of boxing,
- 32:45Speaker 6: you know, you know he and Ali This was why
- 32:49Speaker 6: you know, he and Ali became inseparable because he was
- 32:52Speaker 6: the voice of televised boxing for what a generation?
- 32:57Speaker 28: Yeah, absolutely, and they created the relationship and the friendship
- 33:01Speaker 28: and uh, uh you know it was uh, it was
- 33:05Speaker 28: it just anyway. I was talking about everything under the sun,
- 33:08Speaker 28: talking about uh, the Amazon games that he gets all
- 33:11Speaker 28: the time, and how much he still loves you know,
- 33:13Speaker 28: broadcasting and doing the games and so on and so forth.
- 33:16Speaker 7: So it was a great interview. You can find it
- 33:18Speaker 7: on YouTube. Why did that year is just one of
- 33:20Speaker 7: the absolute legends in our in our industry?
- 33:23Speaker 6: Why does so many people in the internet festering cesspool
- 33:28Speaker 6: want to drag him down? Every time I opened my
- 33:31Speaker 6: phone after a Sunday night. I think he took al Michaels.
- 33:34Speaker 6: Dude did this and al Michaels offended that.
- 33:37Speaker 7: Yeah, because they think he stole the pay check going
- 33:39Speaker 7: to Amazon. And why would you go to Amazon when you've.

- 35:01Speaker 6: And I was like, it looks permanent to me. I
- 35:05Speaker 6: know there are some pro soccer teams that play in
- 35:08Speaker 6: New York City, but this is I mean they said
- 35:11Speaker 6: this twenty five thousand seat Oh I.
- 35:13Speaker 28: Know, yeah.
- 35:14Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 35:15Speaker 28: And in nineteen ninety four, which I've talked about before,
- 35:18Speaker 28: the ESPN thirty to thirty, it was in their first season,
- 35:22Speaker 28: and it's called June seventeenth, nineteen ninety four is the
- 35:26Speaker 28: name of the documentary, and there's no there are no interviews.
- 35:29Speaker 6: But that was the O. J.
- 35:30Speaker 7: Simpson Bronco Chase.
- 35:31Speaker 6: Yeah, it was during It.
- 35:32Speaker 28: Was during the Rangers parade. It was during a big

- 35:53Speaker 28: Playoffs between the Rockets and Knicks, and.
- 35:55Speaker 6: Yeah, New York was in the place. I was trying
- 35:57Speaker 6: to watch that game, and I'm like, what.
- 35:59Speaker 28: Is this cost us to trying to you know, it's
- 36:02Speaker 28: if you really want to see what like media coverage
- 36:05Speaker 28: was like during that if you because you know a
- 36:07Speaker 28: lot of our listeners probably said, what happened in the
- 36:09Speaker 28: mid nineties with.
- 36:10Speaker 7: That whole thing, it was crazy real quick before we go.
- 36:15Speaker 28: Speaking of the NFL and the second Hall of Fame
- 36:17Speaker 28: voter who left Belichick off his ballot, CBS four sports
- 36:20Speaker 28: reporter in Indianapolis, Mike Chappell, he made his reasoning public
- 36:24Speaker 28: now he was the second guy. He said he wanted
- 36:26Speaker 28: to vote for Robert Kraft and that's why Belichick didn't
- 36:29Speaker 28: get the vote. He said, quote, there's no erasing the
- 36:32Speaker 28: stain of spygates from his bio. This wasn't alleged behavior
- 36:36Speaker 28: with the NFL. Find Belichick five hundred thousand the maximum
- 36:39Speaker 28: allowed along with docking the Patriots two hundred and fifty
- 36:42Speaker 28: K and a first round draft pick for illegally videotaping
- 36:46Speaker 28: New York chests signals, you know, seven chet and he
- 36:50Speaker 28: wrote down that.
- 36:50Speaker 7: But that's not why I did.
- 36:51Speaker 28: I wanted Robert Kraft to make sure that he got
- 36:54Speaker 28: the vote, you know, hey, So in other words, it
- 36:57Speaker 28: was spitulations.
- 36:58Speaker 7: Mike, you came forward preciate that I'll tell you what
- 37:02Speaker 7: do the right time.
- 37:02Speaker 6: I mean, well, but it's it's again, it's a manufactured crisis.
- 37:06Speaker 6: If the Hall of Fame hadn't said three only you know,
- 37:10Speaker 6: you're you're Belichick's on there with Craft, and then it's
- 37:14Speaker 6: an acclamation. If anything, it's like, here's the guy and
- 37:17Speaker 6: the guy he hired. He didn't have to hire Belichick.
- 37:19Speaker 6: Belichick was there with with you know, it was Parcels
- 37:25Speaker 6: that suggested Craft. We had Belichick back in there because
- 37:29Speaker 6: remember Parcels had gone to the Patriots and the whole
- 37:31Speaker 6: drew bled cell mess right.
- 37:34Speaker 28: But well, anyway, how crazy is it today? Denver is
- 37:37Speaker 28: warmer than Central Florida. So that's that's so anyway, keep

- 40:32Speaker 30: Station every year, more American adults die from vaccine preventable
- 40:37Speaker 30: diseases than from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines
- 40:42Speaker 30: like the one for new maccle disease can protect adults
- 40:44Speaker 30: from illnesses that can cause misdays of work, hospitalization, and
- 40:48Speaker 30: even death. New maccle disease is an infection that can
- 40:52Speaker 30: lead to pneumonia, meningitis, or even a severe blood infection.
- 40:56Speaker 30: That's just one example of an infection that can spread
- 40:58Speaker 30: from person to person. Getting vaccinated can help protect you
- 41:02Speaker 30: and those close to you. I'm doctor Susan Reem of

- 44:41Speaker 6: the Good for America podcast and some great insights available,
- 44:46Speaker 6: I hope on things the things going on in the
- 44:51Speaker 6: House of Representatives going on there, Bob, Good morning, sir.
- 44:55Speaker 6: How are you doing. No, we lost him, We lost
- 45:00Speaker 6: him there, so we'll get him here. We'll get them
- 45:02Speaker 6: on the backup line there. He is a host of
- 45:05Speaker 6: the Good for America podcast, Take two, and he is
- 45:09Speaker 6: Bob Good. Good morning, Bob. How are you doing, sir?
- 45:12Speaker 26: Good morning, Joe doing well.
- 45:13Speaker 6: I hope you are absolutely as well. Sorry for whatever
- 45:17Speaker 6: issues we're going on technologically, but I'm glad you're here
- 45:20Speaker 6: because of the late night deals on avoiding a government shutdown.
- 45:25Speaker 6: And I misspoke. Let me before we get Bob involved here.
- 45:28Speaker 6: I misspoke because I was asked about Obamacare subsidies, and
- 45:33Speaker 6: I know that there are still Democrats out there talking
- 45:36Speaker 6: about bringing them back, but they did expire. They aren't
- 45:39Speaker 6: part of this deal between Chuck Schumer and Tim Kaine
- 45:43Speaker 6: and the President to extend the government for the rest
- 45:49Speaker 6: of the fiscal year till the end of September, except
- 45:52Speaker 6: for ice, Right, Bob, the deal sounds okay except for
- 45:58Speaker 6: how they're going to work out the DHS funding restrictions.
- 46:02Speaker 6: What are you hearing?
- 46:05Speaker 26: Well, apparently they have an agreement between the President and
- 46:08Speaker 26: the Senate Senate Democrats. I guess to, as you said,
- 46:12Speaker 26: to fund all but Department of Homeland Security for the
- 46:17Speaker 26: remainder of the fiscal year through September thirty. And then
- 46:20Speaker 26: they've got a deal to fund Department Homeland Security or
- 46:23Speaker 26: DHS ice the most partiversial part of it, for two weeks,
- 46:29Speaker 26: and to give them two weeks to negotiate to any
- 46:32Speaker 26: reforms or changes to the policy with DHS. But they've
- 46:36Speaker 26: got a problem in the House. Will the Conservatives, the
- 46:40Speaker 26: Freedom Caucus members agree to the changes? I suspect they
- 46:44Speaker 26: probably will, as they're pressured by the President to take
- 46:46Speaker 26: the deal that he is obviously promoting and announcing last night,
- 46:50Speaker 26: this morning, and so forth. I suspect they will do so.
- 46:53Speaker 26: But what the conservatives may be concerned about doing it?
- 46:57Speaker 26: First of all, they would be concerned about keeping Biden's
- 47:00Speaker 26: budget place. That's going to be a two trillion dollar deficit,
- 47:02Speaker 26: but and it's got three thousand ear marks for six
- 47:05Speaker 26: billion dollars in it. But they'll also be concerned that
- 47:09Speaker 26: they may not like the deal that's ultimately made with
- 47:11Speaker 26: Ice or the part of homeland security after they went
- 47:14Speaker 26: ahead and agreed to funding a lot of stuff they
- 47:17Speaker 26: don't want to fund in the overall package.
- 47:19Speaker 6: Well, let's go back to the ear marks again, because
- 47:22Speaker 6: they made a big deal of how long ago was
- 47:24Speaker 6: it that they made this big chest pounding deal that
- 47:27Speaker 6: they had eliminated ear marks, and then quietly, not to you,
- 47:32Speaker 6: you called it out for what it was, they put
- 47:35Speaker 6: those back in. They didn't make a big press conference
- 47:38Speaker 6: about we've returned ear marks to the federal spending plan.
- 47:42Speaker 6: But man, you know, like you said, it's a big,
- 47:46Speaker 6: big pork parrel.
- 47:49Speaker 26: Interesting point, well made. They didn't do some big announcement,
- 47:53Speaker 26: some big press conference, some big disclosure on hey, we're
- 47:57Speaker 26: voting to bring ear marks back. Why didn't they do that?
- 48:00Speaker 26: I can remember, by the way, as a side note,
- 48:02Speaker 26: during my time in Washington, when I would complain about
- 48:05Speaker 26: how some Republicans voted, how the rhinos, the moderates this
- 48:09Speaker 26: voted on things, they would get mad at me for
- 48:12Speaker 26: tweeting or posting about how they were voting. And I
- 48:15Speaker 26: was like, well, don't you want me to help your
- 48:17Speaker 26: constituents know how you're representing them. Aren't you proud of
- 48:19Speaker 26: how you're voting? If you're not proud of how you're voting,
- 48:21Speaker 26: but maybe you should vote differently because I don't mind
- 48:24Speaker 26: at all how you I want you to help tell
- 48:26Speaker 26: my constituents how I'm voting, because I'm proud of my
- 48:28Speaker 26: voting records. But to your point, the Republicans the last
- 48:32Speaker 26: time when they had full control of government did away
- 48:35Speaker 26: with ear march. It was about fifteen years ago or so,
- 48:38Speaker 26: and then the Dems brought them back during the Biden,
- 48:40Speaker 26: Pelosi Schumer regime. But during my time in Washington around
- 48:46Speaker 26: I want to say twenty twenty two or twenty twenty three,
- 48:49Speaker 26: I forget the exact time. I think it was twenty
- 48:50Speaker 26: twenty two, but we had a Republican conference meeting to
- 48:53Speaker 26: vote on whether or not we as Republicans would begin
- 48:57Speaker 26: to do ear marks too, because the Democrats were going
- 48:59Speaker 26: to do them. Unfortunately, two thirds of the Republicans voted
- 49:03Speaker 26: to join Democrats in doing ear marks.
- 49:05Speaker 6: Do they I was curious to do members of the
- 49:09Speaker 6: Fabian Society wear a special ring with the wolf in
- 49:12Speaker 6: sheep's clothing crest on it. We've we've spent a good
- 49:15Speaker 6: bit this week trying to explain to folks that these,
- 49:18Speaker 6: you know, some of some of the angst in Minnesota
- 49:21Speaker 6: are the Leninists who have lost patients with the slow,
- 49:26Speaker 6: incremental fabians about taking over the establishments and turning us
- 49:31Speaker 6: Marxists this way. But Bob, on this subject of the
- 49:35Speaker 6: Ice negotiations that are going to go on these two weeks.
- 49:39Speaker 26: Are we at one point on the wolves in sheep's
- 49:42Speaker 26: clothing for second, one of the big problems in Washington, Joe,
- 49:45Speaker 26: and why things don't change is so many of the
- 49:47Speaker 26: Republicans are really Democrats, but none of the Democrats are
- 49:49Speaker 26: really Republicans.
- 49:50Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, You've said that before, but on this ice thing,
- 49:55Speaker 6: and maybe adjunct to that as well, this ice negotiation,
- 50:00Speaker 6: and I'm worried that this is going to become another
- 50:02Speaker 6: one of these I'm just telling enforcement officials not to
- 50:06Speaker 6: enforce the law the way Obama did regarding marijuana possession,
- 50:10Speaker 6: you know, because it sounds like that's where they're heading.
- 50:13Speaker 6: They're going to you know, defund ice. They may even
- 50:16Speaker 6: shudder it as as a branch of the Department of
- 50:19Speaker 6: Homeland Security altogether with you know, leaving just the local
- 50:24Speaker 6: leos to enforce if they're mayors and governors approof of it,
- 50:29Speaker 6: immigration laws. Should you come across it like the five
- 50:32Speaker 6: twenty sevens.
- 50:34Speaker 26: I am a little concerned. I share your concern. I
- 50:37Speaker 26: should say that there may be some drawing back, some
- 50:40Speaker 26: backing down, some reduction and enforcement efforts. We need to
- 50:44Speaker 26: be full steam ahead with that. You can be tough,
- 50:46Speaker 26: and you can be firm, and you can be aggressive
- 50:49Speaker 26: while of course following the law and doing it with
- 50:51Speaker 26: the confines.
- 50:51Speaker 2: Of the law.
- 50:52Speaker 26: And we shouldn't take one isolated incident of question and
- 50:56Speaker 26: change all policy because of it. Got eight hundred thousand
- 51:00Speaker 26: that's a law enforcement officer across the country. You don't
- 51:03Speaker 26: want to have one bad cop change your policy for
- 51:05Speaker 26: all eight hundred thousand law enforcement officers, for example. But
- 51:09Speaker 26: ICE is flush with cash, cash, Department home Land Security
- 51:13Speaker 26: is flush with cash. They got over one hundred billion
- 51:15Speaker 26: dollars in the big ugly bill that was passed back
- 51:17Speaker 26: in the summer. And that's one of the things I
- 51:19Speaker 26: did support, was more funding for Homeland Security. But they're
- 51:21Speaker 26: flush with cash, even the Dems get some agreement to
- 51:24Speaker 26: cut back their budget, which I hope Republicans don't do.
- 51:28Speaker 26: They won't change their ability to operate. A side note
- 51:31Speaker 26: on that we're not building the wall. Times report just
- 51:37Speaker 26: came out that we've only built twenty seven miles of
- 51:39Speaker 26: the wall in the first year of Trump's term, after
- 51:42Speaker 26: he was averaging a mile a day in the last
- 51:44Speaker 26: year of his term. That's a permanent impact that needs
- 51:48Speaker 26: to be completed during his three years remaining of his term,
- 51:51Speaker 26: or we're going.
- 51:52Speaker 9: To suffer as a result of it.
- 51:53Speaker 6: In twenty twenty nine, should christineome step down or be
- 51:59Speaker 6: removed at the DHS? From where you said, I know
- 52:01Speaker 6: a lot of folks on both sides of the isle
- 52:03Speaker 6: in Congress are saying, so, do you agree with them
- 52:07Speaker 6: that she should be taken out and replaced at DHS.
- 52:13Speaker 26: Well, I won't go so far as to say that.
- 52:15Speaker 26: I will say I was not a fan of her appointment.
- 52:17Speaker 26: I didn't see anything in her background that made her
- 52:19Speaker 26: particularly a good fit for that position. I think it
- 52:22Speaker 26: is telling they brought in Tom Holman to fix the problem.
- 52:25Speaker 26: Reports are they don't like each other, and I don't
- 52:29Speaker 26: know if that's true. I've heard concerning things about people
- 52:32Speaker 26: who've worked under her, so I certainly wouldn't have a
- 52:35Speaker 26: problem the president was to replace her.
