• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas head.
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: With every thread and.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: To my fellow citizens, America is back.
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: So that's a year ago. The President takes the oath
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: of office for term two and round two has been
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: just like round one, with one very notable exception. President
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: Trump hasn't allowed everything to get hijacked by the media.
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: The media will do what the media do, and President
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: Trump just keeps going forward. I don't know if it's
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: Susan Wiles or Stephen Miller or just the president. President
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: watched enough footage of your term one and said, I
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: kept spending all this time explaining to these people and
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: they never got it. I'm not going to bother this time.
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: We're going to do and we're going to go. And
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: this whole Greenland kerfuffle is a great example of it
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: because it all the things that kir Starmer and Emmanuel
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: Macron and all the congress people Republican and Democratic light
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: you brought to Tim Kaine and Rand Paul. They're responding
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: to the press assertions that Trump is going to invade Greenland,
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: and it's based on the fact that the President still
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: to this day cannot say no comment. The President does
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: not have a no comment.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Gene. He just doesn't.
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: If you ask him, mister President, if Greenland doesn't want
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: to play ball, or if Denmark doesn't, would you invade,
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: I guess we'd think about it. And that was his answer,
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: that was, I guess we would have to think about it.
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: And the President said Trump to invade Greenland, and the
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: echo Chamber went nuts over it, but the President just
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: chugs along. And you know, at some point, and this
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: may be the most brilliant change versus Trump one and
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: Trump two. Because remember another thing that everyone will tell
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: you about Donald Trump is that he has to get
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: the credit for it. There's a mania that you know,
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: he is a megalomaniac. Do you think he'll ever win
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: a Nobel Peace Prize? Hell know why? Because the press
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: continues to cover everything as if he's only doing it
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: to win the Nobel Peace Prize. I will guarantee that
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: the jury pool has been so tainted in this President
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: Trump himself could wake up in the middle of the
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: night invent the flux capacitor and a cure for cancer
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: and wouldn't win the Nobel Prize for Science or your
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: government or.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Whatever it is.
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: The jury pool has been so tainted by the press.
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: But here's here's my prediction. You know we like to
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: do this. I'm going to tell you something now here
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: on January twenty, twenty twenty six, and maybe by the
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: time we know we do short term time came capsules
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: here because you know how I loathe to say I
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: told you so. So let's put this in a six
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: month time capsule. No, let's make it a one year
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: time capsule with an option to open it early. At
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: some point, Greenland in the next year will become independent,
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: self governing from Denmark. Recall that most of the marches
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: in Greenland, not the ones in Denmark, but the marches
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: in Greenland are led by people saying we're not Americans,
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: We're not Danes either. Huh. Interesting that, and then they
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: will go about negotiating with the United States military base
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: there that will protect the northern shipping passages, which again
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: is why the United States sees Greenland as an important
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: tactical thing. Because there's a Russian base and there's a
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: Chinese base out there right in one of what is
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: growing to be one of the largest shipping lanes on
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: the planet. I wouldn't want to sail it because I
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: don't like cold.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: I'm not a wilting lily about it. I grew up
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: in the northeast, but if given my druthers, I don't want.
• 18:32
  Speaker 15: To be cold.
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: However, that being said, that's a voracious shipping lane up there,
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: and the Russians and the Chinese. I think the Russians
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: base is actually a submarine base too. Yeah, nothing to
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: be concerned with with that. No, no, not at all.
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: I mean they only invaded Ukraine to get Crimea back
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: and they're submarine base there. Yeah, Russia submarines under there. No, no,
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: no worries at all. But you mark my word on
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: this that this is where, this is where this is going,
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: and it's going to happen. And you know what's going
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: to happen. When Denmark, you know, signs the treaty or
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: whatever that gives Greenland its autonomy, They're all going to
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: say Trump's a loser, Trump's a loser. When't President Trump
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: didn't lose at all, but you know, any opportunity to
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: call him a loser they will. When President Trump has
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: said this all along, but they don't care about that. Now.
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: The narrative is Trump's going to invade Greenland. This is
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: the Falklands all over again, will minus the American students
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: being held hostage. We get to you at four three
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: four eight eight two four one seven. That is our
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: phone number. Text message come in there as well. Bob
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: in Portland, thank you for the cartoon. I'll detail it
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: when I come up with the best way to describe it.
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: For the gathering herd.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: Who's this.
• 20:12
  Speaker 16: Hey? This is Moscow, Bob, and I'll add one thing
• 20:15
  Speaker 16: to your time capsule.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, Greenland will.
• 20:19
  Speaker 16: Declare its independence. Then they will ask Donald Trump to
• 20:23
  Speaker 16: become the fifty first state to get all the support
• 20:27
  Speaker 16: they're losing from Denmark.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: Okay, so they'll use their new found independence to ask
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: to be Now, do they want to be the fifty
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: first state or do they want to be more like
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: Puerto Rico or Guam. No.
• 20:42
  Speaker 16: I think they want to become the fifty first date.
• 20:45
  Speaker 16: This way, they're getting all the financial support for their
• 20:49
  Speaker 16: people that they're getting from Denmark right now. And once
• 20:53
  Speaker 16: that happens, I think you'll see Canada think about the
• 20:58
  Speaker 16: same thing, because now they're squeezed.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: That's that's an interesting premise, you know, especially with the
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: rare earth minerals. I don't know if Donald Trump wants
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: them to be the.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Fifty first state.
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: He trolls the idea on occasion, but I think I
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: think honestly, Donald Trump would love to see an independent
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: Greenland and then cut a deal with them that you know,
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: expands America's military base kind of the way the Philippines
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: had for many years with the Navy base there in Manila.
• 21:28
  Speaker 16: And this is one time I disagree with you, because
• 21:32
  Speaker 16: if it becomes a fifty one fifty first state, then
• 21:35
  Speaker 16: they have total control of the North Sea, the North Atlantic,
• 21:40
  Speaker 16: and the Atlantic all the way down from Europe.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: It becomes a total control.
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: It becomes Alaska East, is what you're saying.
• 21:49
  Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, And it stops Russia from using the Siberian
• 21:54
  Speaker 16: Sea above Finland to get to the Atlantic Ocean.
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: It's a tactical wind for the president. Hey, I Brandt,

  Speaker 2: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

  Speaker 1: first thing today?
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah, rent free living. It's only been a year. This
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: text message from Sharon who writes in, Oh my god,
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: has it only been one year? I don't know the
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: angle you're coming from, Sharon, so I'm just going to
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: read it at that point and say, I don't know
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: if you're you know, pro Trump, whatever the situation is. Yeah,
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: it's been one year. I think more has occurred in
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: this one year of any presidency then you can recall
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: happening in any one year outside of the Watergate male
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: from around Richard Nixon, and that was really more internal,
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: like everyone was coming into the presidency. Here, everything's coming
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: out of the presidency. I mean it's like somebody gave
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: the US government of what's the stuff I used to
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: drink when I was in chemo magnesium cit trate, Yeah,
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: green bullet baby. You know, Bob, so I wanted to
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: ask you.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, do you get my point though?
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: Whether Greenland, as you said, you know, once they get
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: their independence from Denmark, will apply for statehood.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: In the United States.
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: But if it is as simple as I laid it out,
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: that Denmark will get its independence from Denmark at some
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: point in the next calendar year, the press will cover
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: it as Trump loses.
• 29:57
  Speaker 16: Right. They're always going to be the opposite and see
• 29:59
  Speaker 16: Trump's doing something bad. But you and I and all
• 30:02
  Speaker 16: the logical, intelligent people in the United States and the
• 30:06
  Speaker 16: world will understand Trump's brilliant tactical move.
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: I appreciate it, my friend. Things going well there in
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: Moscow going good.
• 30:16
  Speaker 16: A little bit warmer today. We've had around zero degree celsius.
• 30:19
  Speaker 16: But that's winter, that's normal.
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: I saw some pictures of some crazy snow. Where is
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: that coming from. There's like feet upon feet of snow
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: somewhere in Russia.
• 30:29
  Speaker 16: We had a we had a crazy snowstorm in Moscow
• 30:32
  Speaker 16: about two weeks ago now, but it wasn't it wasn't
• 30:37
  Speaker 16: so much. There was a lot of snow, there was
• 30:40
  Speaker 16: strong winds for twenty four hours, so a lot of
• 30:42
  Speaker 16: It's drifts. Okay, like when you go walking, you'll take
• 30:45
  Speaker 16: a step and you'll sink down to your waist.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Yikes, all right, it's all up.
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: Well here, hey, you have a you too, Thank you, Bob.
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: The I bring it up because I saw these photographs
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: in conjunction with these folks here talking about snowpocalypse coming
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: to Washington, d C. This weekend, just in time for
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: more government shut down discussions, because there's apparently from Texas,
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: are you getting the same things in Dallas, San Antonio
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: that we're getting here in Virginia, which is this dire
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: It'll be thirteen And understand, thirteen inches of snow in
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: Virginia is snowpocalypse. One point three inches of snow in
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: Virginia is blizzard conditions. And food pantries are open to
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: help people because the grocery stores are empty. So anyone
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: listening in upstate New York is there saying, oh, come on, Joe,
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: grow up. You know, I know I lived in Buffalo
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: for a while and the amounts of snow are different.
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: But I saw that this this storm system is supposed
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: to reach from Texas into the mid Atlantic Tennessee and
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: all those areas being braced for big snowstorms. Of course,
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: it's on the heels of the Panhandle of Florida getting snow,
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: which freaked a lot of people out there as well.
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: I talked to my weather forecast or at our flagship station.
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: He said, really, it's going to, you know, be determined
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: by where the low pressure system comes in. Again, it
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: sounds like somebody with scientific knowledge I don't have, but
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: this is what the people with the scientific knowledge are
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: telling me. So if the if the low pressure system
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: is more north than north of Maryland and Pennsylvania, you know,
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: closer to Chica. Go in places like that, most of
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: the people will see cold rain.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Or ice storms. Not a pleasant choice.
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: But the precipitation is going to be cold rain and
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: or sleep. If it tracks further south, like south of Virginia,
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: like if the low pressure system comes down over Tennessee
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: and northern Georgia and the Carolinas, then it's snow apocalypse.
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: Maybe just you just get the shovels, hunker down, gas
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: up the generator, marge, and be ready for it. And
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: I understand the fragility. Every time we have one of
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: these snow events, I think back and I don't want
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: to sound like that guy heard my day. We walked
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: up here both ways in school bare feet, and we
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: were grateful. Oh no, that wasn't it. But I can't
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: recall a school closing. I think the first time my
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: elementary school was closed was the ice storms that gripped
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: the Northeast in nineteen seventy eight, and that was three
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: feet of snow on New York City, followed by cold
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: rain that froze everything under the tree, and trees were
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: coming down like crazy. I haven't seen that until I
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: think about four years ago. We had a foot and
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: a half of snow in central Virginia and all of
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: our pine trees just started snapping like matchsticks. And then
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: I didn't see another school closing after that until I
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: got into radio and then, oh my gosh, everything's in
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: school closing. We can't put the school and I get it.
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: School buses have insurance, and insurance companies call and say, no,
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: you're not putting the school bus out on the road,
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: and in some cases it's part of the school bus policy.
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: Everyone thinks it's about school kids and safety. It is,
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: because insurance policies are about safety. But most school divisions
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: are faced with massive school costs and look at the
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: cost of insuring school buses.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Think about it.
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: This is a big vehicle, unwieldy, full of young children.
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: You think you're going to get a low cost insurance rate.
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: You think the general is going to give you a
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: couple of hundred buck insurance rate on the school was now,
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: So they have to cut costs where they can. And
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: a lot of it has to do with riders saying,
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: you know, when the buses are not going to be
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: allowed to be out on the road under what weather
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: conditions and things like that, and that's understandable, that's not
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: slagging the schools. So for every time somebody says, why
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: are schools closed all the time because the insurance company,
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: I mean, the best scenario I ever saw in these
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: weather conditions. I was working in southeastern Pennsylvania and all
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: of the school divisions in our area used the same
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: bus company. Yeah, a lot of schools own their own buses,
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: but in this area of southeastern Pennsylvania, it was a
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: bus company. Like they had Greyhound buses and then they
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: also had big yellow buses. And so the bus company
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: would call me in the morning and say, yeah, buses
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: aren't rolling today, okay, And I'd hang up the phone
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: and go right onto the air and say, all right,
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: schools are closed today, and the school principles would lose
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: their bowel control over that, and they call me frantically.
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: We didn't make that announcement yet. No, but the school
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: bus company just called and said their buses aren't running. Whoa, whoa,
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: We haven't made that decision yet. You're going to have
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: school even without having school bus routes. Well, no, can
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: I go now? It's just washroots repeat. Every time it happened.
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: They would get so bent out of shape because the
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: bus company would call me. And I just found it
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: to be the easiest way to do it. If the
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: buses aren't rolling, the schools ain't opening, the glove don't fit,
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: you must have quit.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: But you know so.
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: Brace And I guess that's what we're going to be
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: watching for, my forecaster friends, is we will know better
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: by Wednesday afternoon what this low pressure system that could
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: bring snow from Dallas to Norfolk and all points in
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: between will do. And it'll put like six inches of
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: snow on Washington, d C. And that will be the
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: news story because that will impact the press. If it
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: doesn't snow in Washington, d C. They I won't care.
• 38:02
  Speaker 12: Hi.
• 38:02
  Speaker 23: It's Mark Falter, hosts of the Financial Fitness Show. I
• 38:05
  Speaker 23: strongly believe that no one should ever pay one penny
• 38:08
  Speaker 23: more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately, for
• 38:13
  Speaker 23: most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case. Why
• 38:17
  Speaker 23: because most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway
• 38:21

  Speaker 20: type two diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a
• 41:10
  Speaker 20: million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths
• 41:14
  Speaker 20: are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
• 41:18
  Speaker 20: healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about

  Speaker 20: your risk for type two diabetes and heart disease, and
• 41:26
  Speaker 20: if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The
• 41:30
  Speaker 20: reason so many die is because not enough are willing

  Speaker 1: Sundlogu for you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
• 44:30
  Speaker 7: Right neck po dunk isn't just a statement of rurality.
• 44:34
  Speaker 7: I mean I grew up in Queen's and my neighborhood
• 44:37
  Speaker 7: was po dunk. I mean, as much as you know,
• 44:39
  Speaker 7: you pretend it isn't. But you know a lot of
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: blue collar, a lot of no collar in my neighborhood
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: in Queens. And I bring this up as Sandy texts
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: in at four three four eighty eight two four two
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: one seven. Sandy apologies if I if you misunderstood what
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: I saying for crassness or uncaring about blizzard conditions Sandy's
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: text reads, mister Thomas, your cavalier attitude towards snowstorms is
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: bellying your concern for the workforce of America. I'm not
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: sure have we done a workforce for America.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, I just.
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: Listened to the new governor of Virginia go on and
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: on and on about how she's going to help the
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: workforce of Virginia while quietly one of the members of
• 45:35
  Speaker 7: her political party filed a bill that would expand sales
• 45:40
  Speaker 7: tax to include like a million more things like computer
• 45:45
  Speaker 7: web design and massage therapy and landscaping. If somebody comes out,
• 45:54
  Speaker 7: you know, all the ads clean your gutters, you'd pay
• 45:57
  Speaker 7: sales tax on that.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: And I know some places do all right, say have
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: you crime my d But this.
• 46:05
  Speaker 7: Governor's like, oh, I'm gonna help the Virginians, you know,
• 46:09
  Speaker 7: everything be affordable while they're instituting sales taxes on you know,
• 46:16
  Speaker 7: storage facilities, auto repair in the Commonwealth. So you know,
• 46:24
  Speaker 7: I get the whole pandering to the workforce. And I
• 46:27
  Speaker 7: would never pander to you, Sandy, but I get what
• 46:32
  Speaker 7: you're saying. So Sandy goes on to say that every
• 46:34
  Speaker 7: snowstorm that closes the business I work for cuts into
• 46:39
  Speaker 7: my money because I work hourly, and I can't make
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: up those hours.
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: Because we are a service.
• 46:46
  Speaker 7: Business, we can't just work overtime to make up for
• 46:50
  Speaker 7: the things we didn't make. You know, and that's fair.
• 46:54
  Speaker 7: I've said for years, and you may not have heard it, Sandy,
• 46:57
  Speaker 7: that I concern myself with how much of America's economy
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: has become service oriented, where if you ain't working, you
• 47:05
  Speaker 7: ain't eating. Now, there's nothing wrong with that paradigm. But
• 47:12
  Speaker 7: if your business closes down, and it's not something like
• 47:16
  Speaker 7: a manufacturing facility, you know, obviously a manufacturing facility has.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: Orders to fulfill.
• 47:22
  Speaker 7: So when the snow is cleared, you know, it's overtime
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: for all, and everyone hands to the grindstone and let's
• 47:30
  Speaker 7: get the work done.
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: Because we've got orders to ship.
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: But if it is a service sector business where you
• 47:38
  Speaker 7: know you can't make up for lost time, I get it.
• 47:42
  Speaker 7: But you weren't going to be getting any customers anyway.
• 47:45
  Speaker 7: If it's a restaurant or something like that, you didn't specify,
• 47:48
  Speaker 7: but it sounds sounds like a restaurant or a coffee
• 47:51
  Speaker 7: shop or something like that, they probably weren't going to
• 47:53
  Speaker 7: see a lot of folks. Anyway, I used to have
• 47:56
  Speaker 7: this happen all the time. I used to manage a
• 48:00
  Speaker 7: Burger King restaurant in my hometown, and you know, the
• 48:05
  Speaker 7: GM would call and say this too much snow, close
• 48:07
  Speaker 7: the store, don't open the store this morning.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: And it happened.
• 48:11
  Speaker 7: I think it only happened two or three times. One
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: of those times he changed his mind about two hours in.
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: I had to go run in and grab all my friends.
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: He said, I can't get my crew in here. So
• 48:25
  Speaker 7: all my friends helped me open up the store. But
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: we were busy like crazy. I think some of these
• 48:30
  Speaker 7: service sector places that especially diners, coffee shops and places
• 48:34
  Speaker 7: like that, if you can arrange to get your crew in.
• 48:39
  Speaker 7: You would be surprised how many people are out there
• 48:41
  Speaker 7: plowing snow. The Department of Transportation workers in the city
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: maintenance folks out there with snowplows on, the contractors who
• 48:52
  Speaker 7: were out there taking their landscaping trunk and putting the
• 48:57
  Speaker 7: plow on the front, and clearing people's parking lots. There's
• 49:00
  Speaker 7: a lot of people out there and just presuming that
• 49:04
  Speaker 7: all right, we're a coffee shop or a diner. We're
• 49:07
  Speaker 7: not going to be busy. You may not be busy,
• 49:10
  Speaker 7: but you're going to make money. So you bring in
• 49:12
  Speaker 7: as many people as you can get in and you
• 49:14
  Speaker 7: make do you make eggs? Because when it snows there
• 49:21
  Speaker 7: are people out there. And I know that the insurance
• 49:26
  Speaker 7: industry of America doesn't want me saying, you know, but
• 49:30
  Speaker 7: I learned to drive in November and December in the snow.
• 49:35
  Speaker 7: You can do it. It is possible. You need to
• 49:38
  Speaker 7: be way more careful. You need to give yourself way
• 49:42
  Speaker 7: extra time to do it. And I know that my
• 49:44
  Speaker 7: friends at TRIPAA will be on the phone saying this
• 49:47
  Speaker 7: is how people get stuck in gullies, and well, hopefully
• 49:52
  Speaker 7: people as I said, you be careful and cautious and
• 49:55
  Speaker 7: you know what you're doing. This requires responsibility. You can't
• 50:01
  Speaker 7: just get on the highway and say it's just like
• 50:03
  Speaker 7: any other morning.
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: It's snowing, so I just this.
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: The world closes for twenty four to forty eight hours
• 50:15
  Speaker 7: has never sat very well with me, and part of
• 50:18
  Speaker 7: it is because of those days when we would be
• 50:20
  Speaker 7: open at the restaurant I managed, and we'd be busy
• 50:25
  Speaker 7: as crazy, people wanting coffee, people coming in. Can I
• 50:31
  Speaker 7: just get a cheeseburger please, Oh, I've just been working
• 50:33
  Speaker 7: for twenty hours. I mean, if you're in a service business,
• 50:39
  Speaker 7: it seems to me, and I know it sounds uncaring
• 50:43
  Speaker 7: or whatever, but if your business is to serve customers
• 50:51
  Speaker 7: and people are out there working, I think it does
• 50:54
  Speaker 7: you more good than ill to open on those snowy
• 50:58
  Speaker 7: days and be an away in the wasteland. That's just me,
• 51:06
  Speaker 7: and you know I'm not Scott Bessen or Stephen Moore
• 51:11
  Speaker 7: or any other sort of economic expert. It just strikes
• 51:14
  Speaker 7: me that if you're out to serve people, and our
• 51:17
  Speaker 7: friends on the left, bless bless those leftists like Governor
• 51:21
  Speaker 7: Spanberger who think you start a business just to hire people.
• 51:27
  Speaker 7: We want to log this business for starting up and
• 51:30
  Speaker 7: hiring ten people.
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: That's not why you start a business.
• 51:33
  Speaker 7: You start a business to serve a need and if
• 51:37
  Speaker 7: there's truly a need. And I've said this to all
• 51:43
  Speaker 7: of my kids growing up. A veil ability still has
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: the word ability in it. You know, you're talk about
• 51:52
  Speaker 7: all of my abilities we do. This is our Ted's
• 51:54
  Speaker 7: Day theme a day early, but what are my abilities? Well,
• 51:59
  Speaker 7: avail Ability is an ability, just like door ability and predictability.
• 52:10
  Speaker 7: They all include the word ability for a reason. And
• 52:14
  Speaker 7: if you run a business and you're the one everyone knows,
• 52:17
  Speaker 7: oh yeah, Joe always opens his coffee shop in the snow,
• 52:21
  Speaker 7: you're probably gonna have busier days in the snow than
• 52:25
  Speaker 7: you are otherwise. Just make sure your sidewalks are clear
• 52:28
  Speaker 7: and your parking lot is clear. That might take a
• 52:32
  Speaker 7: little work. You bring yourself home some of these things.
• 52:35
  Speaker 7: I saw Bobcat has these, you know, AI driven plows
• 52:40
  Speaker 7: and things like that. Maybe get yourself one of them
• 52:43
  Speaker 7: AI driven Bobcat plows and you just have it like
• 52:46
  Speaker 7: a roomba. Keep cleaning your parking lot.
• 52:51
  Speaker 22: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:55
  Speaker 22: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: It was metiche that came through for us, and there
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: was there's no hassles, there was no problem.
