  Speaker 1: Not because they are easy, but because.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: They are hard.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: It is time for us to realize that we are
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: too great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I have a dream that one day this nation will

• 1:01
  Speaker 3: This is American Ground Radio. I'm Stephen Paul with Louis R.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Avalone. You know, this is the American spirit. Well, American
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Ground Radio certainly embodies the American spirit, but so does
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Donald J. Trump. So yesterday, or yeah, it was Thursday,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: he traveled from Washington to Texas, and he visited the
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Peterbilt truck plant in denton texas okay and he was
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: campaigning he was speaking he was working a schedule that
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: would exhaust plenty of people half his age sure and
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: then mother nature decided to rewrite the itinerary because of
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: all the rain trump was supposed to go from texas
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: to durant arkansas don't have a way to say arkansas
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: it's oklahoma durant oklahoma yeah for another rally. Except the weather,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: as you pointed out, was terrible. Heavy rain and storms. Yep.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: So the helicopter, you know, that travels with the president, yes,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: he's got a helicopter, Marine One, well, whatever helicopter he's on, Right.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: is going to be Marine One. Right. But the helicopter,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Marine One, couldn't make the trip to Durant because of
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the weather. The plane, it wasn't advisable for, you know,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Air Force One to make the trip because of the weather.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: So, Trump said, OK. And his people were like, we
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: may have to cancel going to Durant, Oklahoma. Now, this
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: is where the story gets very interesting. And I think
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: we've got a clip, Mr. Producer. We've got a clip
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: here of the president. Take a listen.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: And they said, sir, I think we're going to have
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: to cancel Oklahoma. The weather is terrible.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: You can't take the helicopter, sir.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: You can't take the plane.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: I said, what can I take? Well, it's a very
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: long drive. I said, how long? They said, it could
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: be long, sir.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I said, how fast does the beast travel? They said,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: we can go close to 100 miles an hour. I said,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: get your... Now, the president said, get your derriere into
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the car and let's go.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: And this is— It's a straight shot straight up I-35
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: from Denton to Durant.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: But forget for a moment whether you love Donald Trump
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: or you hate him or you voted for him or
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: voted against him or never want to hear his name again.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Just think about the mentality here. Here you've got an
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: 80-year-old man. It's been a long day. Yeah. You're the
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: president of the United States. The weather is awful. The air—
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Your aircraft can't fly.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: The event is already going to be late, obviously.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Obviously.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: And someone just handed you the greatest excuse in the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: world to cancel.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: To not go.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: And nobody would have blamed him.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Weather, can't control it. Sorry, folks. We'll reschedule. Go back
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to Washington. Instead, Trump said, how fast does the beast go?
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: They're like 100 miles an hour. He's like, let's go.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: You know what's in the car? We're going to Oklahoma. See,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: that is an American expression contained in just five words.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Get in the car. We're going. I mean, how quintessential
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: American is that? I'm just saying, get in the car.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: We're going. If it's a problem, we're going to figure
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: it out. If the plane can't fly, we'll fly another way.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: The helicopter's grounded. Okay, where's the car? Going to be late?
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: We're going to figure this out.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: We're going to be late. That's fine. But we're going
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: because people are waiting. Now look, before anyone says anything, no,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I'm not recommending that anybody listening to the program drive
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: 98 miles an hour through a rainstorm. Don't do that.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: But this was a presidential motorcade. operated by trained professionals.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: With Secret Service protection.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: And people are able to clear the highway out ahead.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: But you got to, look, it is dangerous to be
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: driving at high speeds on a wet road. So I
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: can't recommend going, as a meteorologist, I can't recommend going
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: 100 miles an hour.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know about that. But, you know, the beast weighs,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you know, a lot. So, I mean, it's not like
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: it was, It was going to hydroplane, necessarily. That's all
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. Well. You know what I'm saying. So Trump left.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: So this is how unusual that day became on Thursday
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: last week.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Or this week. Trump left the Peterbilt stop at, what,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: 547 Central Time.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: The rally in Durant, Oklahoma, had been scheduled for 6 o'clock.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: So he did not reach.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: We're going to make that.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: He didn't reach the Choctaw Event Center until like an
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: hour later. So he was just an hour late.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: It's about 7 o'clock.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Right, 7.02 to be exact.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: It's about right, because Denton's about an hour away from
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: the Texas border.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: 85 miles.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Durant's about an hour away from the Texas border on
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: the other side.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: 85 miles. And in Durant, Oklahoma, there were still people waiting.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: It was completely packed.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Many had been there for hours.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: You know... standing outside with umbrellas and tarps and all
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: sorts of things, just trying to stay dry. And basically
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: the message they got was President Trump saying, hey, don't leave,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I'm coming. And it wasn't an easy trip. He's right
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: about that. But that's what makes this such a great
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: American story to me. Because the obstacle becomes part of
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: the adventure. That's America. Think about the people who built
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: this country, crossing mountains, crossing rivers, building railroads, building highways,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: starting businesses with almost nothing. You know, farmers staring at
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: a broken tractor before sunrise and say, well, we've got
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: to get this figured out. But that is.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: That's the spirit. That's the American spirit.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: This is one of the differences, I think, between conservatives
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: and leftists when it comes to things like weather. Because
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: the leftists are like, the climate's going to change. We've
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: got to stop the climate from changing. And conservatives are like, yeah,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: the climate changes. We've got to adapt to the climate changing.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: The left is trying to control everything to sit into
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: their pre-held idea of what's perfect. And Republicans are like, look,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: the world is going to change. Change is a constant thing.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: It's never going to stay the same. You have to
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: be able to adapt to the world or the world
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: will crush you.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely right. And the other part is, and we
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: say it on the show in various different ways, is
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And here was an instance where he had an excuse.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: He could have checked out.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: He could have said, we've got to go back to Washington.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: But he did... literally what he did not have to
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: do in order to meet his commitment right and i
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: think character reveals itself when you have a perfectly acceptable
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: excuse uh to quit yeah or you know what i'm
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: saying when because everybody would understand nope and and well
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: except the left the left would They left would say, oh,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: he left all these folks up in Duran, Oklahoma.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: You left him standing out in the rain for another hour?
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: He didn't care. He was on his luxury Air Force
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: One flying back to Washington. Anyway, that would have been
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the narrative. But it just, you've got the sitting president.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: He's 80 years old.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: You don't see Joe Biden doing that. You never saw
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden when he was the president. Hey, let's just
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: go for a two-hour car ride and I'll be fresh.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: for a rally after that and he didn't have the
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: energy to do it he didn't have the mental acuity
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: to do it i don't think.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I'm making too much of this some folks may think
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: i'm fawning too much over what the president did but
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: it's a uniquely i say uniquely it's quintessential america it.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Gives you a night it gives you an insight into
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: what what he thinks is important.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: That when the original plan falls apart make another plan
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: let's get to the.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Top three things First thing you need to know, the
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: number of people saying they lost their job last week
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: fell to the lowest level in more than 50 years.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Labor Department says people filing for first-time unemployment benefits fell
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: to 197,000 people. That's the lowest number since 1969. Per capita,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: it's the lowest number in American history since there were
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: only 203 million people in the U.S. in the late 60s.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Jobless claims have been at historic lows all year long.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: But I don't think the president gets any credit for that. None.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: And the media doesn't report it.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: No, not at all.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: People aren't losing their jobs. That's historic. If the numbers
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: were the other direction... Oh, they'd be top story. Second
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: thing you need to know, a Washington State resident who
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: worked for the U.S. Department of Energy has been arrested
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: for attempting to help the Houthis in Yemen. 51-year-old Ashton
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Hamed El-Aboudi was arrested on Thursday morning. He's accused of
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: flying to Yemen to provide expertise to Houthi rebels in
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: improving their communications devices and building explosives. Ella Booty purchased
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: parts to make drones and precursor chemicals for making explosives.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Up to 20 years?
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Department of Energy employee.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: This is a U.S.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Government employee aiding and abetting terrorists in the Middle East
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: who are driving up oil prices.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: This is why we can't have nice things.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: And the third thing you need to know before tomorrow,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: the Department of Justice made another round of arrests for
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: illegal voting. On Wednesday and Thursday, the DOJ added another
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: 20 names to the list of people accused of illegally
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: voting in U.S. elections over the past several years. That
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: included 10 foreign nationals in Minnesota who allegedly voted during
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: this summer's primaries. Those 10 people came from Brazil, Ghana, Germany, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Liberia,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: and Canada. Of the others indicted for illegal voting, four
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: cases were in Pennsylvania, two were in Florida, two in
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: New Jersey, and one each in Texas and Kansas. That
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: brings the total election-related arrests in September to 50 nationwide.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Democrat Senator Alex Padilla called the arrests a desperate attempt
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: by Republicans to distract from their record of rising costs, chaos,
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: and corruption that are hurting the American people.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: And you know, while we have suspected that there were
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: great irregularities in our election system, it is comforting to
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: know that it's finally coming out and that there are
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: people that are being held accountable. I think it increases
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: confidence in our elections.
• 11:50

• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I'm Stephen Paul with Louis R.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Avalone. I'm going to keep talking about this because it
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: keeps coming up. Okay. And It's like we no longer
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: in this country and really maybe around the world get
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: the blues. You know, like when things just aren't going
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: right and folks are like, what's wrong? I don't know.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I just have the blues. You know, I'm just sad.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: But my point is nowadays it's so much more than that.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Now the consequences of having the blues aren't just feeling
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: blah and just kind of lounging around or just kind of–
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: just making your way through life in this comatose state
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: where you're like, well, I just feel so bad. Now
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: the consequences are murder or suicide. Do you see the story?
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Do you see the story where a Texas mom in
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Houston shot her four-year-old daughter in a murder-suicide just hours
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: after losing a custody battle with the girl's dad? Wow.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: And this is so sad.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: I think you find out why she should have lost
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: that custody battle.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Maybe. But maybe there was something else going on. You know,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of other issues involving mental illness.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: And I just don't remember growing up, folks, at this rate,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: there is a story literally each and every day across
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: this country where a young woman, 12-year-old, 13-year-old, 14-year-old loses
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: their temper, leaves a party, comes back with a gun,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: and the result is murder. Or a boyfriend breaks up
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: with his girlfriend, girlfriend breaks up with the boyfriend, and
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: the result is murder and suicide. Women killing their own
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: children because they feel like they're married to the wrong man,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: and they've got some boyfriend on the side that they
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: want to go start a whole new life with. It's
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: this narcissistic selfishness, but at the end of the day,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: it is some form of inability to process emotions.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: The comedian Jimmy Carr, British comedian, I really think he's funny,
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: but more than that, at his stand-up routines, people start
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: asking him philosophical questions, and he's got a lot of wisdom.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: One of the things he said is people talk about
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: how they have depression and they have anxiety. He says,
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I think we should reframe that. Why don't you just say,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: I'm sad and worried? Because when you have something like
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: a clinical diagnosis of, I have depression, I have anxiety,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: that means that is what you are. As opposed to,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I'm currently sad, I'm currently worried, that's something you can
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: go through.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Well, the thing is, just because you feel it doesn't
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: make it so. And a lot of times in life,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: and I don't know who needs to hear this, Sometimes
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: when things feel really good, they're really not that good.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: And the flip side of that is when things seem
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: completely unbearable and hopeless, they really aren't. It's somewhere in between.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: We got a question for American Mamas. Dear Mamas, what
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: do you think about the Cornell 7 case?
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American Mamas. Mamas. Mamas.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Mamas.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Mamas.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: And joining us now, our American mama, Terry Netterville. Okay,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: so this is a case out of Cornell University. Apparently
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: two years ago, there was a frat party. There was
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: a girl at the frat party. There was a guy
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: there that she liked. She was trying to get with him.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: He suggested in the process a threesome. She went, yeah, okay,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: we'll do that. There was drinking. There was drugs involved.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: At some point, the threesome happened. ended and other guys
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: came on in and now it becomes another threesome or
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: foursome or whatever eventually the girl two years later then
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: decides no wait uh i want criminal charges filed she's
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: filed lawsuits against the school against the students criminal charges
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: trying to get filed um the governor of new york
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: has decided that the local da is not handling it
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: so she went and got my gosh that paragon of
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: um A judicial restraint, Letitia James, is now in charge
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: of this case, which makes me think there's no way
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: justice gets done. But those are all my thoughts. This
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: is the Mama segment. What's your thoughts on this case?
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Now I'm with you. Well, first of all, this is
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: a case of a woman scorned. A lot of people
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: do not know this.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: So.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: What they have in their possession are text messages from
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: her to the guy she had a crush on.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: We'll say guy number one.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: And then she goes to this party at 11 o'clock.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Or no, she goes to the frat house at 11
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: o'clock at night.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: 11 o'clock at night to see this guy.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: This guy then says, what do you think about a threesome?
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: That's when you say, I'm gone.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Out.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: What? No.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Like, that's crazy.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: No.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: But she's like, okay, let's go. So anyway, all the
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: stuff that you just said happened.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: And then this is what turned things. So a little
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: bit later, this fraternity was having a Halloween party.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: And word was already getting around about this. you know, slut.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: And she was, her, her tried out sisters were like, um, wait,
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: what's going on? And, and as she's telling them the
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: stories and she consented to all of this and all
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: of these text messages, it'll come out. She's going to
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: be Amber herded because now she's anyway, I'll get to that.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: So she's uninvited to this Halloween party.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: And when the president of that fraternity uninvited her to
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: that Halloween party and said, it's for your own good.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: She said, I knew this would happen. The girl always
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: gets the raw end of the deal or whatever. And
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: that's when she was like, she sent a message to
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: guy number two and said, just so you know, not
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: everything was consensual. I don't think that it was. So
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: you already see the shift, like that scorn.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: The change in that at the time.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, you're going to do this to me? Uninvite me?
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Watch what I'm about to do to y'all. And that
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: is what she's doing. So she took it to the
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: campus police.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: And then eventually— Not, by the way, the police police. Right.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: The campus police, security guards, right?
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: And they took their notes, and then the officers took
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: their notes. But what's happened— and there's so much in between—
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: We have those text messages. The boys kept those text messages.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: And by the way, the boys do not look good
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: in those text messages.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: The debauchery that happened, that is the grossest thing I've ever,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: ever heard of in my entire life. Right.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, these guys deserve a lot of shame for
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: their behavior.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: And they are being shamed. And that's another thing. They're
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: being shamed. They should feel shame. This should deter any
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: other college kid, girl, or guy. that's even thinking about this.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: Don't do this. This is vile. But their names are
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: out there. Her name should be out there. In the
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: text messages, she's saying how much she did drugs off
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: of one of them, anatomy of one of the guys.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: And she was saying, you know, she's the one that
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: told the officers, yeah, they wanted to ask if they
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: could do drugs off of my perfect, beautiful body. And
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: she said, I said, yes. All the things she told
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: the guy number two, nothing we did was illegal when
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: he was starting to get worried about it.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Well, except that, you know, the drugs. But other than that, okay.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, all of this was her words. My point
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: is she has... told her side of the story already
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: where she was absolutely complicit or implicit.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Complicit. She was at least compliant.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: I think she liked the guy number one.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: I do think the evidence suggests she had a crush
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: on a guy number one and went along with a
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: whole bunch of other stuff.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: With alcohol and drugs. She was there for hours and
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: hours that night. I feel sorry for her because this
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: will follow her Forever.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: And when everything comes out, because right now Hollywood and
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: the liberal media.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: They have.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: They've all taken her side.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: AOC.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Like these guys, they gang raped her. They drugged her. They,
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: you know, blah, blah, blah. And she's so brave. Well,
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: this is going to be kind of like Amber Heard
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: with Johnny Depp. Only her side was shared until the
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: court proceedings.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Until we got to see everything. And then as you watch,
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: you're going, wait a minute. What? She's a freak. She's
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: the one. And Johnny Depp was kind of, like, exonerated
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: of everything in public opinion.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: This is going to happen. These boys are going to
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: look bad forever. It's gross. But they are going to
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: be a little bit vindicated when the notes come out
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: of her consenting to all of it.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question,
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com slash Mamas, and click on
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: the Ask the Mamas button. Terry Nedville, thank you so much.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: You are listening to American Ground Radio. American Ground Radio.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Crafted with genuine American parts. Powered by patriots. Driven by
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the heart and soul of the American dream. And now, 100%
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: tariff free.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to American Grab Radio. I'm Stephen Paul with
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Lewis R.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Avalone. So the House of Representatives already passed permanent daylight
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: savings time.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: By a vote of 308 to 117. It's a pretty
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: good majority, right?
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Bipartisan support.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: So President Trump wants the United States Senate to finish
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: the job.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Guess who's not going to finish the job?
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: The United States Senate.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Well, part of it is.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Because I don't think they come back in session until
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: after daylight savings changes.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: It's November the 9th, I believe. Yeah.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: But.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: It's Tom Cotton, who is a faithful Republican and supporter
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: of President Trump, who is standing in the way, apparently. Why?
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: He opposes it because of dark winter mornings. And President
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Trump singled him out, saying, you know, what are you doing? Dude,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: why are you standing in the way of this?
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Well, because there are parts of the country where if
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: you go to permanent daylight saving time, That it does not,
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: the sun will not rise in winter. And I'm not
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: talking about parts of Alaska, I'm talking about parts of
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: the continental U.S. Where the sun will not rise until
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: after 930 in the morning. So you will have kids
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: walk into school in darkness. Which makes it more possible
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: or more likely that they would be hit by a
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: car that never sees them.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Right. And Senator Cotton, his point is basically, I know
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: everybody hates changing the clocks.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: But he says he would rather tolerate changing the clocks
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: than send millions of Americans out the door on winter
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: mornings before the sun even comes up. So that's the disagreement.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Trump says, give me daylight at the end of the day. Right.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Tom Cotton says, don't take it away from the beginning
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: of the day.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: There is actually a different solution to this problem.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Just do away with time altogether. No, no, no. The
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: timeless community.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Right now, we have four time zones across the continental U.S., right?
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: You've got eastern, central, mountain, and pacific.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Well, you left out hammer time.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because that's a little further over. So you've got
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: those four time zones. If you were to move the
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: time zones and actually create a fifth time zone. Oh, my.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: So you have five time zones in the U.S.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Move it over a little bit. I'm going to need
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: a pen and paper to keep.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Up with this. Yeah, because you've got to see on that.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: But if you actually have, if you had five time
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: zones across the continental U.S.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: What?
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: What do you mean?
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: What do you take.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: who's going to lose part of their time zone? Everybody's...
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Do you shift all the lines? Yeah, you'd shift the lines.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: The lines were drawn arbitrarily back in the 1800s anyway.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: So move the lines over, because it's not like they
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: were placed there by God. They were placed there by man.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: You can move them. If you were to move them over,
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: you would get to a point to where You would
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: have daylight savings, and there would be no part of
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: the country where the sun would rise after, I think
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: the time, when I was looking at it, after about 830.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: So there is a solution by adding a fifth time
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: zone into the U.S., simply by shifting them over from
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: where they are, that you can solve all this problem.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: But, like my calendar solution, it's not going to happen.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: No, but.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: It would solve the problem, but it's not going to happen.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: But I think the issue here... largely, is that folks
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: just are tired of changing the clocks twice a year,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: back and forth, back and forth.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: There's a spike in deaths.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: There is a spike in deaths.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: When you lose an hour and when you gain an hour,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: there's a spike in deaths because our circadian rhythms, especially
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: for folks as they get older, it messes with your
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: heart rate.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Right. And so you've got these major medical organizations that
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: are favoring a permanent standard time yeah and and i
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: get that.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: I i like permanent standard time because i want things
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: to be true and if it's if it says noon
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: on my watch and the sun should be overhead.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: So president trump uh he called out or i guess
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: he name dropped to some degree he said the pga
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: commissioner you know the the head of of the professional
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: golf association says that he needs this he needs more
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: time at the end of the day For golf. For
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: golf because they run out of sunlight.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: So everybody in the country should change what they do
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: because of golf.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Well, I think President Trump just used that maybe as
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: an example.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: We need better examples. Let's dig deep.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: So Gallup did a survey recently on courage.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: They defined courage as deciding to do what's right in
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: the face of personal cost. I think that's a pretty
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: decent definition of courage.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: All right? So they gave a list of occupations, and
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: they told people, hey, pick three out of this list
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: of 16 that you personally identify courage with. Which occupations
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: do you think are the most courageous, according to that definition,
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: willing to do.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Most courageous.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right? So the ones that most people associate
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: with courage. Top of the list, first responders. 60% of
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Americans say firefighters... Police officers and other emergency personnel are courageous.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Paramedics.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Gotcha. I think that makes sense. Number two on
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: the list, military personnel, 41%. I probably would have put
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: military personnel higher than first responders.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: What about coal miners? Are they on the list?
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: They didn't make the list.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: They didn't make the list.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Still number two. I don't understand why less than half
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: the population think military personnel are courageous, but look, it's
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: number two on the list.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: What about the folks that climbed to the top of
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: those radio antennas and changed the light bulbs?
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: That was not on the list.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Nurses came in third, 27%. Look, I'm not sure that's
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: necessarily courage. It's dedication. It's certainly an honorable profession to,
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: I just don't know if it takes courage to be
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: a nurse.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Or dedication to be a nurse. Oh, I think it does.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Commitment.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: You're seeing people at their absolute worst, and you take
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: that home with you. A lot of folks have what's
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: called first responders, compassion fatigue.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'll give you that. Teachers next, 22% say teachers.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Courage, yeah.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Journalists. Journalists, 21%. Now, for me, that really depends upon
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: the journalist. The ones working for mainstream media saying things
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: that the left wants to hear?
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: No.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Jim Acosta has zero courage. The independent journalists who are
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: getting assaulted by Antifa and other leftist groups and threatened
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: with jail time by the state of California if they
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: report on Frog? Yeah, that's pretty courageous. So for me,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: it depends upon the journalist.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, but I guess how are we defining courage?
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: I told you. We're defining courage by deciding to do
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: what's right in the face of personal cost.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Deciding to do what's right in the face of personal cost. Okay.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: All right. Now, so those are the most courageous careers.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Because there's some physical cost. There's mental cost.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Sure. And that's why I come with nursing. There's other
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: costs that could come.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: All right. So what do you associate with the least
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: courageous professions in the U.S.? The least courageous? Least courageous.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: You know what? Well, I know you're not necessarily asking me. Politicians.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: That was number one.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Was that number one?
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Elected leaders in the U.S. government, 54% said that's the
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: least courageous profession. Ouch.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Ouch.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Now, again, you go back to the definition, deciding to
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: do what's right in the face of personal cost. How
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: many politicians have you seen change their view on things
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: if their convictions might have cost them an election? I
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: think it's part of why some Republicans right now are
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: running for office and they say, oh, I'm against data centers. Man,
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: that's the opposite of courage. It's cowardice. Next, social media influencers. 48%
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: say they are the least courageous people. They're just following
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: the trend. They call themselves cowards. you know, influencers, but
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: they are highly influenced themselves.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: That's true. Right? That's true. By clicks and likes.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Then they go business leaders. 27% say business leaders. Look,
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: I think Elon Musk has a ton of courage, but
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: I can also think of a lot of CEOs who don't.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of times they're thinking of those
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: fat cats in the C-suite. Not that whole C-suite executives
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: are fat cats. But you've got a.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Whole bunch that just kowtowed to HR when it was wrong.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: It's an image. It's a stereotype.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: And then journalists at 24%. So journalists made both a
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: list of the most courageous and the least courageous. So
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: more people think journalists are among the least courageous than
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: the most courageous, which I do find as interesting.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Well, it's fair and balanced reporting there.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But I come back to it again. There are
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: a lot of journalists who I think have absolutely zero
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: courage to report the truth. They simply want to report
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: what is politically convenient. And then there's some reporters who
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: are willing to go get the story even at significant
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: threats to their life and their body. I thought that's
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: an interesting story.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good stuff. We'll be back.
• 31:27

• 32:15
  Speaker 3: I'm Stephen Park with Lewis R.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Avalone. Look, I get it. He needed to be fired.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: He absolutely needed to be fired. And what I'm talking
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: about is the Blazers, the NBA team, they had a–
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: the Portland Trail Blazers, that is. Yeah. They had a
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: 29-year-old broadcaster that they had hired as their new play-by-play broadcaster. Right.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure that was a dream job for this guy. Absolutely.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's probably something since he was a kid,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: you know, big fan– Of sports of all kinds.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: And here he's got the chance for an NBA team
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: to be the play-by-play announcer. And I say it was
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: probably a dream of his since he was a kid. Well,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: when he was also a kid, he made some tweets
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: and some texts that were inappropriate. I'm not going to
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: get into it.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: A kid making inappropriate texts.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: He was 15 years old. All right. And they were
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: somewhat sexist, maybe racist. It was about some sort of
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Chinese person.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: It was dumb things for a 15-year-old.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: It was dumb.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: It was ugly.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: It was stupid. It was offensive.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: He's 29, so we're now talking 14 years ago.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Okay. And again, the trailblazers had the right to fire him.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: And from a business perspective, I think it was the
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: right thing for them to do. Because as a business,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: why face all of that, the questioning and the backlash
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: and maybe protests and all of that, when... It's out there.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: And I guess I bring that up. And I know
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of folks that might say, well, wait
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: a minute. His employer should have stood behind him. No, no.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Or beside him.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. You should be fired at age 29 for
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: something you did at age 15? They hired him.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying it was... I'm not saying that... I'm
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: saying it from a business perspective. The amount of hassle
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: and the amount of bad publicity and the bad press...
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: That has a cost to it. At some point, you
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: just got to say, you know what? I don't want
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: to deal with it. I'm going to have to let
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: you go.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: But then all you do is you feed the monster
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: that did this in the first place.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: And I guarantee you, I said stupid stuff at 15.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: No way should I be fired. There are things. I mean,
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: but you know what the other part of this is,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: is that there's no more youthful Indiscretions. There is no more,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: I did this.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: This is mob rule, and the Portland Trailblazers were cowards.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: They were cowards for kowtowing to mob rule.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: It's a business decision.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: It's kowtowing to mob rule. It's cowardice, and I will
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: never support the Trailblazers as long as they don't have
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: a spine. Let's get to Fake News Friday. You are

  Speaker 2: when I... You kind of listen to a politician and
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: you're like, he has absolutely nothing substantive to say.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: We're going to be doing the work because the work
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: has got to be done and we're the only people.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: only people who can do that think about that think
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: about that for a minute we're the only people who

  Speaker 2: you know what your paycheck buys you know what it
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: bought five years ago and what it buys today. And
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: this Michigan Senate candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, I mean, he injects
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: race into everything. Well, now he was asked, how are
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: you connecting with black voters, right?
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, how's it going?
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Okay. I mean, he could have said, I mean, there
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: could have been a thousand answers he could have given.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: You know, I want better schools. I want safer neighborhoods.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: I want more jobs, et cetera. Instead, he says that, well,
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Arab men like them some black women, apparently to the
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: preference over white women or Asian women or any other.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: That was his answer.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: That was his answer.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: What are you doing to connect with the black voters?
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: I'm going to go hit on the honeys.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: He says that Arab men tend to catcall black women
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: more so than any other type of woman.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. Whoa. When I say whoa, I mean whoa.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: A police officer in Leawood, Kansas was patrolling a neighborhood,
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: a residential neighborhood one night when he saw a dog
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: just standing in the middle of the road. Maybe that
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: wasn't too unusual, but this dog was wearing a collar
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: with a leash and the leash was just dragging on
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: the ground. As his patrol car pulled up, the dog
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: turned around and started walking the other way, so the
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: officer just followed. The dog led the police directly back
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: to the dog's home, where the garage door was up
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: and a door to the house was wide open. The
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: officer found the dog's owner on the floor, unable to
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: get up. Paramedics were called, and the owner is expected
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: now to make a full recovery, thanks to a very
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: loyal puppy who went looking for help.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: What a great story.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
