0:08
Speaker 1: We got ourselves a brand new work week, not only
0:11
Speaker 1: that officially week two of our little live stream year officially,
0:14
Speaker 1: and I heard from a lot of you over the
0:15
Speaker 1: weekend with your responses. Thank you so much for that.
0:18
Speaker 1: Appreciate you very much. I'm Bill Adams and it is Monday, September,
0:22
Speaker 1: thirtieth days away from this election. Of course we're going
0:25
Speaker 1: to get to that. Of course we're also going to
0:27
Speaker 1: get to Hellash Helene. Maybe not lead off with it
0:30
Speaker 1: because it's just it's just too devastating to talk about
0:33
Speaker 1: for first thing, but we will definitely get to it,
0:34
Speaker 1: because that is a I've never seen anything like that.
0:37
Speaker 1: You probably haven't either. We'll talk about that. We'll talk
0:39
Speaker 1: about football America. Reacting to a couple of the Canada
0:42
Speaker 1: presidential candidates and the stark comparison between the two. JD.
0:46
Speaker 1: Vance got booted out of his own campaign event. That
0:49
Speaker 1: was fun, but he handled it like a champ. That
0:52
Speaker 1: was excellent, lost an American legend and Chris Christofferson and
0:54
Speaker 1: I have a very serious question for you. We'll get
0:57
Speaker 1: to it just a couple of minutes. What is it
1:01
Speaker 1: with the Democrats and trying to emasculate men I mean, honestly, here,
1:05
Speaker 1: I am dead as serious about this question. What is
1:08
Speaker 1: with that? All right, welcome to it, everybody. Ope, you
1:11
Speaker 1: had a great weekend. All right, we'll get to Helene
1:14
Speaker 1: and uh Western Carolina and Tennessee in just a second.
1:17
Speaker 1: But first of all, let's start it off with this.
1:20
Speaker 1: Let's go to football America. In fact, the University of
1:23
Speaker 1: Balabama Bryan Denny Stadium. What just under a tick under
1:27
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand people reacting to when they saw President
1:31
Speaker 1: Trump in the stadium. They knew he was coming and
1:34
Speaker 1: they put him up on the big screen. How'd that
1:36
Speaker 1: reaction go? You can guess? Yeah. And of course, chance
1:49
Speaker 1: if USA broke out and all that stuff, maybe they
1:52
Speaker 1: were just cheering for Kid Rock. No, I know it
1:55
Speaker 1: was all about Trump. That is that's real America. He
1:58
Speaker 1: gets it. He understands where to go. He's never lost that,
2:00
Speaker 1: by the way, He's only gotten better at it. Where
2:02
Speaker 1: to go to the places where his voting block, where
2:05
Speaker 1: his base is, where real America is, not just where
2:08
Speaker 1: the talking heads are, not just the World Economic Forum,
2:11
Speaker 1: not where all these globalist dorks are. He goes to
2:15
Speaker 1: Middle America. But to be fair, it wasn't the only
2:17
Speaker 1: one going to Football America over the weekend. Tim Walls
2:21
Speaker 1: went to the Big House, not jail yet, no, no, no, no,
2:25
Speaker 1: the football Big House, University of Michigan because his Minnesota
2:29
Speaker 1: Gophers were playing Michigan. So how'd that reaction go? How'd
2:34
Speaker 1: they feel about Tim? The guy at the end get
2:45
Speaker 1: out of here? All right? To be fair, I cherry
2:49
Speaker 1: picked that sound. I'm sure he got a better reception inside,
2:52
Speaker 1: but I did. But well, honestly though they did, they
2:55
Speaker 1: did boo his motorcade in his security, so judge that
2:58
Speaker 1: as you will. So that was That was Football America
3:01
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Just interesting. That's uh. I don't want
3:04
Speaker 1: to see it all the time. And I get that
3:05
Speaker 1: it's an election season. I understand that I wouldn't want
3:07
Speaker 1: to see politicians at football events, NFL crowds, NASCAR, UFC
3:13
Speaker 1: all the time. But right now, totally fine. And the
3:17
Speaker 1: reaction from Trump should have told you everything you needed.
3:19
Speaker 1: Then he did at rally when he talked about his
3:21
Speaker 1: event after that, and he talked about the actual game.
3:23
Speaker 1: That's where Trump is so good where he talks about sports.
3:25
Speaker 1: I've said this for years now, I swear to you
3:28
Speaker 1: he wants to be more involved with sports in his
3:31
Speaker 1: retirement years. Let's hope he gets in in November. But
3:33
Speaker 1: after that, after these four years where he gets closer
3:36
Speaker 1: and closer to sports related Trump his presidential think of
3:41
Speaker 1: what the Trump Presidential Library is gonna look like. It's
3:43
Speaker 1: gonna look like a It's gonna look like a like
3:45
Speaker 1: a sports bar. Pick your favorite sports bar throughout the country.
3:49
Speaker 1: I mean, all the stuff he's collected from his first
3:51
Speaker 1: time in office, all the memorabilia they give him, and
3:53
Speaker 1: it's gonna look like you know, it's gonna look like
3:56
Speaker 1: a Hooters or something. I don't know. We'll see, We'll
3:58
Speaker 1: see how that goes, all right, enough joking around, got
4:00
Speaker 1: to get together the story of the uh I don't know.
4:02
Speaker 1: Story of the year so far, I have never seen.
4:05
Speaker 1: You probably haven't either, damage like what Helene did obviously,
4:09
Speaker 1: and this gets sad because you tend to forget. You
4:11
Speaker 1: tend to compete, like with catastrophes here and we should
4:15
Speaker 1: never forget who's devastated by this. Obviously, Helene left all
4:18
Speaker 1: kinds of damage in the Gulf Coast, the Florida Big
4:20
Speaker 1: Band area, but then moving inward, there are literally entire
4:25
Speaker 1: towns gone in western North Carolina. And it's not just
4:28
Speaker 1: it's not just North Carolina. It's Tennessee as well, parts
4:31
Speaker 1: of Mississippi, parts of Georgia all affected there. But some
4:34
Speaker 1: of the scenes coming out of North Carolina, I just
4:37
Speaker 1: have I've never seen anything like this. There's a town
4:41
Speaker 1: called Chimney Rock, North Carolina, or I should say that
4:46
Speaker 1: it there was, because it's gone. I don't mean like
4:51
Speaker 1: it's going to take a long time. It'll take months,
4:53
Speaker 1: years to recover. The town is gone. It's just completely
4:57
Speaker 1: gone because of the overflowing, raging river that destroyed that place.
5:01
Speaker 1: A lot of the attention is going to Asheville, North Carolina,
5:04
Speaker 1: but it's not only that, it's all of those areas
5:06
Speaker 1: were affected by this. Some of the most horrific scenes
5:09
Speaker 1: I have ever seen in my life. Here's a reporter
5:12
Speaker 1: on the scene in Asheville, North Carolina, in downtown talking
5:15
Speaker 1: with a couple of different people and giving his town.
5:17
Speaker 1: It's beyond anything I've ever seen in my lifetime. Parts
5:20
Speaker 1: of the town not underwater, completely cut off.
5:23
Speaker 2: Somebody on a Facebook post said something about having to
5:26
Speaker 2: fly out of Asheville because you can't drive out of Asheville.
5:29
Speaker 1: That extreme. Yeah, it's just I was just in Ashville,
5:33
Speaker 1: by the way, like in uh I think it was June.
5:37
Speaker 1: The overhead shot it doesn't even look like the same
5:39
Speaker 1: place there was now as of last night, this was
5:44
Speaker 1: the update from the governor of North Carolina where he
5:46
Speaker 1: said there are eleven deaths and he said and this
5:48
Speaker 1: is his quote, and he's exactly right. Tragically, we know
5:50
Speaker 1: there would be more ten to twenty nine inches of
5:52
Speaker 1: rain fell across the mountains of western North Carolina. Thirty
5:56
Speaker 1: inches of rain still any many thousands of people cut off.
6:02
Speaker 1: National Guard of North Carolina's rescued over one hundred people.
6:05
Speaker 1: There are five hundred North Carolina National Guard on scene,
6:09
Speaker 1: fifteen National Guard helicopters trying to get into the area.
6:12
Speaker 1: Now Governor DeSantis from my state in Florida has committed
6:16
Speaker 1: I think other states have too, but committed air and
6:17
Speaker 1: air guard support to try to get people out of there,
6:20
Speaker 1: because it's still at this point it's a rescue operation
6:23
Speaker 1: before they can start to recover property. They're still trying
6:25
Speaker 1: to rescue people. And if you've seen this on social media,
6:28
Speaker 1: but the it's heartbreaking too, it really it's tough to
6:31
Speaker 1: even talk about the amount of people who are just
6:33
Speaker 1: posting things begging for help to find their relatives with
6:36
Speaker 1: a description and a picture to try to help find them.
6:40
Speaker 1: Just absolutely awful. And it begs the question of one
6:43
Speaker 1: we have to ask, where's your president? No, no, strike
6:47
Speaker 1: that reverse it. Who's your president? Right now? Let me
6:51
Speaker 1: start with this. One of the guys running to be
6:55
Speaker 1: president is actually acting like the president right now. Trump
6:59
Speaker 1: posted that. Trump campaign posted this last night. President Trump's
7:03
Speaker 1: going to be in Valdosta, Georgia today, is going to
7:06
Speaker 1: get a briefing on the devastation of Helene, distribution of
7:12
Speaker 1: relief supplies, and deliver remarks to the press that will
7:16
Speaker 1: happen today. I've been looking, I promise you, I've been
7:20
Speaker 1: looking to see if there's anything coming from the Harris
7:22
Speaker 1: campaign or the actual White House. Joe said everything is committed.
7:26
Speaker 1: They caught him on a tarmac interview and they said,
7:27
Speaker 1: we've committed all the funds we can. We opened up
7:30
Speaker 1: emergency funds before that into all the areas, including the
7:33
Speaker 1: Gulf of the Big Band area of Florida and also
7:37
Speaker 1: the Carolinas and Tennessee. You're not going to see him
7:41
Speaker 1: there's no way you're gonna see him. And let me
7:43
Speaker 1: tell you something. If this lady is not on the
7:45
Speaker 1: ground at some point within the next i'll call it
7:48
Speaker 1: day and a half in any one of those areas.
7:52
Speaker 1: That's disqualifying. You can't be president and do that. You
7:54
Speaker 1: can't do it. Absolutely horrific. In fact, there are Democrat
7:58
Speaker 1: candidates down further down in the ticket campaigning raising money
8:01
Speaker 1: in areas of North Carolina, Eastern North Carolina not affected
8:05
Speaker 1: by this. You can't have it. You absolutely can't do it.
8:08
Speaker 1: Why can't you send Joe What else does he have
8:11
Speaker 1: to do? This is the part of the presidential job
8:13
Speaker 1: where you provide support, you know what I mean, They'll
8:18
Speaker 1: get money, all kinds of money's going to come to
8:20
Speaker 1: that area. That's not what's about right now. You have
8:22
Speaker 1: to be on the scene, show and support. They have
8:24
Speaker 1: said basically nothing except oh, okay, we're monitoring the situation. Great,
8:29
Speaker 1: who isn't Who in this country is not monitoring that situation.
8:34
Speaker 1: Money's one thing that's going to be desperately needed. You
8:36
Speaker 1: need to get there. You need to get on the
8:38
Speaker 1: ground as close as you possibly can. Well, we can't
8:41
Speaker 1: put Joe Biden anywhere near they're in floodwaters. Why not?
8:44
Speaker 1: What else is he doing? You know he's not acting
8:46
Speaker 1: as president right now. Get him somewhere there to show
8:49
Speaker 1: support for those people. Anybody Trump's going to Valdosta, Well,
8:52
Speaker 1: Valdosta is not anywhere near. It's closer than they are.
8:56
Speaker 1: Somebody has to show support for these people and offer
9:00
Speaker 1: anything you possibly can. And you always see this happen.
9:03
Speaker 1: There are private rescue missions happening right now for people
9:06
Speaker 1: flying in private helicopters into the areas like Ashville and
9:10
Speaker 1: other places north and in western North Carolina to try
9:13
Speaker 1: to rescue people. Why are their private rescue missions happening
9:17
Speaker 1: before the federal government has stepped in most obvious question
9:20
Speaker 1: of all, What is it gonna take? How about Asheville
9:23
Speaker 1: or the entire state? Maybe North Carolina should change its
9:26
Speaker 1: name to Kiev, Ukraine. They'll be There'll be ten billion
9:30
Speaker 1: dollars and immediate presidential support within like five hours. No,
9:35
Speaker 1: I'm kidding there, but it's just absolutely ridiculous. And God,
9:37
Speaker 1: I pray for those people. I really do. All Right,
9:40
Speaker 1: a little bit lighter but still kind of swampy, because
9:42
Speaker 1: we're getting closer and closer to the election. Meagine if
9:44
Speaker 1: you had a campaign event that was approved we know
9:46
Speaker 1: this now and he got kicked out of it. This
9:51
Speaker 1: happened to Jdvan's at a place called Pramonti Brothers. He
9:54
Speaker 1: probably saw this in North Versailles, Pennsylvania. I don't know
9:57
Speaker 1: exactly where that is. I think it's closer to pitt
10:00
Speaker 1: Burg because there were a lot of people in Steelers,
10:02
Speaker 1: Jersey stillers outside waiting to see him. Now, for those people,
10:06
Speaker 1: even though they didn't get to see him inside, those
10:08
Speaker 1: that hung out got to hang out with him in
10:09
Speaker 1: the parking lot, which actually is probably the closest you're
10:12
Speaker 1: ever going to get to the guy, you know. All
10:14
Speaker 1: things considered, that worked out pretty well for him. Now
10:18
Speaker 1: they're saying it was a misunderstanding. They the Vance campaign,
10:22
Speaker 1: the Trump Vance campaign says they got complete approval and
10:25
Speaker 1: permission to be at this Primati Brothers Italian and you
10:28
Speaker 1: know pizza place whatever. The staff inside was completely overwhelmed
10:32
Speaker 1: and there was some very some very young manager. She
10:35
Speaker 1: couldn't really handle it. So she said, no, we're not
10:36
Speaker 1: going to do political events. You can't you can't come outside,
10:39
Speaker 1: you can't come out of the car. Senator Vance understandable. Okay,
10:45
Speaker 1: that's one thing. I will say this though, and this
10:47
Speaker 1: is what I think. The takeaway is this guy handled
10:49
Speaker 1: it like a champ. First of all, he didn't he
10:52
Speaker 1: didn't rage fit like probably Tim Walls would have. He
10:57
Speaker 1: handled it outside. He talked to the people that were
10:58
Speaker 1: there and he said, don't take it out on this restaurant.
11:02
Speaker 1: We'll handle it on our own, and let's just focus
11:05
Speaker 1: on what really matters. Let's win this thing in November.
11:07
Speaker 1: In fact, instead of me talking about it, let's hear
11:08
Speaker 1: from Jdvan Gay for everybody's food.
11:10
Speaker 3: We gave a nice Tim, and of course when I
11:12
Speaker 3: gave a nice tip, I said, no taxes on Tim.
11:19
Speaker 1: It's all right, don't hold it against her. She just
11:22
Speaker 1: got a little nervous. But it's a great local business.
11:24
Speaker 1: But let's keep on supporting and most importantly November fifth,
11:28
Speaker 1: or before go vote, let's go win this thing.
11:30
Speaker 2: Yeah.
11:31
Speaker 1: I think that's perfect. I think that's where he's so good.
11:33
Speaker 1: Didn't rage fit, calm cool, collected somebody that's actually been
11:37
Speaker 1: in the service, and he's he's actually seen action overseas.
11:42
Speaker 1: Tim Walls, by the way, they have a debate tomorrow night.
11:44
Speaker 1: We got to talk about We'll be talking about that
11:46
Speaker 1: a lot tomorrow. Hear this. I always take these things
11:48
Speaker 1: with a couple of grains of salt. Is it true?
11:49
Speaker 1: I don't know you hear rumblings out of these campaigns.
11:52
Speaker 1: A lot of this stuff is made up because we're
11:53
Speaker 1: so close. We're like in the red zone to the election.
11:56
Speaker 1: The word out of the Harris camp is Tim Walls's
12:00
Speaker 1: quote nervous about facing jd Vance. It would make sense
12:04
Speaker 1: that he is. He's kind of like a quirky, nervous
12:06
Speaker 1: guy anyway. But Jade Vance is a smart debater. I
12:10
Speaker 1: think normally I would. I will be completely honest with you,
12:12
Speaker 1: and you might be the same. I'll have zero interest
12:14
Speaker 1: into any vice presidential debate. I just now didn't interest me.
12:18
Speaker 1: I never thought it moved the needle either way. Nah,
12:21
Speaker 1: I think this one might tomorrow night. I think it
12:23
Speaker 1: actually might. Now we're all looking for jd Vance to
12:27
Speaker 1: just send Walls into a rage fit, right because we
12:29
Speaker 1: know he has a temper like just stay calm, stay cool.
12:32
Speaker 1: Say some things that'll send him over the edge and
12:35
Speaker 1: Walls will start waving his arms again always and they
12:39
Speaker 1: had the nerve to call other people weird. Right, Yeah, sure,
12:42
Speaker 1: we'll see. All right, we got to get to something
12:45
Speaker 1: that and I kind of tease this in the intro
12:47
Speaker 1: and I am dead as serious about this question. I
12:50
Speaker 1: am not kidding you. I have my theories we'll get
12:52
Speaker 1: to in a second, but they're just theories. You may
12:55
Speaker 1: have noticed it. What is with the Democrats and trying
13:00
Speaker 1: to emasculate men? Honest question, I mean, honest to god, Well, Bill,
13:07
Speaker 1: that's not really happening. Oh it's not. I'm gonna play
13:10
Speaker 1: for you a clip from the most cringey, just unsettling
13:15
Speaker 1: interview you could ever possibly see or hear. In this case,
13:19
Speaker 1: MSNBC jen Zaki remember her as the press secretary. We'll
13:22
Speaker 1: circle back to. Then she interviewed the First Gentleman, Doug
13:27
Speaker 1: Amhoff over the weekend. Yeah, Kamala's guy. First of all,
13:33
Speaker 1: I don't know any guy. And this is just my life,
13:35
Speaker 1: this is just my sample size. I don't know any
13:37
Speaker 1: guy that would want to be called the first gentleman
13:39
Speaker 1: or second gentleman anything gentleman. Like I'd say, just don't
13:43
Speaker 1: give me the title. Wait, can you just call me?
13:45
Speaker 1: Like Like if I was him, I was like that,
13:46
Speaker 1: just call me, Doug, you know that'll work. But this
13:49
Speaker 1: is what she asked him. Now go back to my
13:51
Speaker 1: original question, why they're trying to emasculate men. You tell
13:55
Speaker 1: me that this isn't by design. This is what it
13:57
Speaker 1: sounded like.
13:59
Speaker 2: Important part in an end. Interesting part of how people
14:01
Speaker 2: have talked about your role here is how your role
14:03
Speaker 2: has reshaped the perception of masculinity. And I'm not sure
14:07
Speaker 2: you've planned on that, but you are an incredibly supportive spouse.
14:10
Speaker 2: Has that been an evolution for you? And do you
14:12
Speaker 2: think that's part of the role you might play as
14:16
Speaker 2: first gentleman?
14:17
Speaker 1: Oh, I should have played his response. He actually came
14:20
Speaker 1: back after that and he goes, what I've been thinking
14:22
Speaker 1: about this a lot. Oh, okay, yeah, I have my theories.
14:28
Speaker 1: We all have our theories, right, I'll never be able
14:29
Speaker 1: to prove this, I don't think anyway. My theory is
14:34
Speaker 1: you may think this is insane. My theory is if
14:36
Speaker 1: you emasculate men, they're much less likely to fight. They're
14:39
Speaker 1: much less likely to fight against what tyranny, stand up
14:43
Speaker 1: against a regime. Question things, it's my theory, anyway. What's
14:48
Speaker 1: with that?
14:48
Speaker 4: Why?
14:48
Speaker 1: By the way, what's built in her question. You're a
14:51
Speaker 1: you're a very supportive husband. Well, you can't be like
14:53
Speaker 1: a mascular a dude that can fix things, work with
14:57
Speaker 1: his hands, maybe be a blue collar guy. He can't.
14:59
Speaker 1: You can't be that and uh not be a supportive husband.
15:05
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I'm going full conspiracy theory
15:08
Speaker 1: on this. I think it's by design. I really do.
15:11
Speaker 1: The second gentleman and possibly the first gentleman, good Lord
15:16
Speaker 1: John Kerry. That's right, he's back, Frankenstein, that corrupt pilot sticks.
15:21
Speaker 1: He looks like a tree. Now have you seen him?
15:23
Speaker 1: He was at the World Economic Forum over the weekend.
15:25
Speaker 1: That's right. It's like the h It's like the Legion
15:28
Speaker 1: of Doom. Is like the epicenter for all the globalists.
15:31
Speaker 1: And it's amazing. They do these, yeah, the most out
15:33
Speaker 1: outlandish things said at these things. They do these these forums.
15:37
Speaker 1: And Hillary was there on Friday, I think it was,
15:40
Speaker 1: and then he was there and they do these sit
15:42
Speaker 1: down forums and they ask him these questions and they
15:44
Speaker 1: say it out loud. The World Economic Form is where
15:47
Speaker 1: they say all of this stuff that you accused the
15:51
Speaker 1: globalists of and they actually say it, Like John Kerry,
15:56
Speaker 1: I I my jaw drop when he heard him say this.
15:59
Speaker 1: He is actually coming out and saying out loud the
16:03
Speaker 1: first Amendment that that's a that's a problem. That's a
16:06
Speaker 1: problem we need to fix because people are seeking out
16:10
Speaker 1: their own answers. Now. We can't have that everything you
16:13
Speaker 1: ever accused them of, they're actually saying out loud now,
16:16
Speaker 1: so we should believe them. This is long, but you
16:19
Speaker 1: got to listen to the whole thing. Here's John Kerrey
16:21
Speaker 1: at the World Economic Forum just this weekend.
16:25
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable, and people go and that people self select
16:30
Speaker 3: where they go for their news or for their information,
16:33
Speaker 3: and if you just get into a vicious cycle.
16:35
Speaker 4: So it's really really hard, much harder to build consensus
16:39
Speaker 4: today than at any time in the forty five to
16:41
Speaker 4: fifty years I've been involved in this. And you know,
16:45
Speaker 4: there's a lot of discussion now about how you curb
16:49
Speaker 4: those entities.
16:51
Speaker 1: Curb those entities, says John Kerrey in other words, that
16:55
Speaker 1: censorship that means these for that free speech thing, Well,
16:59
Speaker 1: that's a serious problem. People seeking out their own self
17:03
Speaker 1: selecting what information they find. That's a problem. Now. To
17:06
Speaker 1: be sure, is there a lot of misinformation out there?
17:08
Speaker 1: Of course, there is. Let me ask you what's worse
17:11
Speaker 1: being just subjected to as we were, by the way,
17:15
Speaker 1: in this country for decades, sixty full years of regime
17:20
Speaker 1: approved messaging from all the major mainstream networks. They'll tell
17:25
Speaker 1: you they'll force feed you all this information and lied
17:27
Speaker 1: to us all for decades and decades and decades, or
17:30
Speaker 1: just being able to seek out your own information and
17:32
Speaker 1: will say it again, God, please protect Elon Musk. This
17:36
Speaker 1: is a completely different situation we're talking about if he
17:39
Speaker 1: hadn't bought Twitter turned into x and you have at
17:41
Speaker 1: least a shot of free information. John Carrey doesn't want
17:45
Speaker 1: you to make up your own mind again. It's like
17:49
Speaker 1: a theme when they tell you what they are. Believe
17:52
Speaker 1: them all, right, sad news, But really, you know what,
17:55
Speaker 1: you can't call it sad because this is one of
17:56
Speaker 1: the most amazing lives of all time. This is a
17:58
Speaker 1: life live my friend. We lost Chris Christofferson. Yeah, a
18:02
Speaker 1: country star songwriter, but a lot more than that is
18:04
Speaker 1: we're about to find out over the weekend. He was
18:06
Speaker 1: eighty eight. Families said no cause of death, and I
18:08
Speaker 1: hope they don't give any I hate when they delve
18:10
Speaker 1: into exactly what the problem was or for you were sick.
18:12
Speaker 1: Just just let us enjoy his life and everything he contributed.
18:15
Speaker 1: You know, Chris Christopherson, A star is born in that
18:19
Speaker 1: Me and Bobby McGee wrote that Sunday Morning coming Down,
18:21
Speaker 1: all the great songs, he wrote so much more. And
18:24
Speaker 1: this is a great collection of everything this guy did
18:26
Speaker 1: in his life that you may not be aware of.
18:28
Speaker 1: And I just was made aware of it just a
18:30
Speaker 1: few years ago. Chris Christofferson was a Rhodes scholar. First
18:34
Speaker 1: of all, he attended the University of Oxford. He excelled
18:39
Speaker 1: at academics, boxing, rugby. Okay, right, there would be a
18:44
Speaker 1: pretty fulfilling life, right.
18:46
Speaker 4: Oh no.
18:47
Speaker 1: He attended the rank of captain in the US Army,
18:49
Speaker 1: served in Korea. He completed ranger school. He was a
18:52
Speaker 1: helicopter pilot. Okay, he had those three items right there.
18:56
Speaker 1: That's another life lived. Then he moves to Nashville, as
18:58
Speaker 1: we all know, in nineteen six and he seeks out
19:01
Speaker 1: Johnny Cash. Just wanted to get his demo tapes and
19:04
Speaker 1: his songs that he had written to Johnny Cash and
19:05
Speaker 1: get some attention. Right, So he gets a job. This
19:08
Speaker 1: is a guy that is a Rhodes scholar and a veteran,
19:11
Speaker 1: could have probably could have worked at IBM if he
19:13
Speaker 1: wanted to. Gets a job sweeping the floors at Columbia
19:16
Speaker 1: Recording Studios in Nashville. Meets June Carter, you know, closely
19:21
Speaker 1: connected to Johnny Cash, gives him the tape of him singing,
19:24
Speaker 1: gives it to Johnny and throws it at a pile
19:27
Speaker 1: with a bunch of the others. Rests his history because
19:29
Speaker 1: the song's shone through, and he actually gets a recording
19:33
Speaker 1: contract you probably know about later on The High Women
19:38
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty five. Put that group together with Willie Whalen,
19:42
Speaker 1: Johnny Cash, and Chris they all formed The High Woman,
19:44
Speaker 1: which is amazing development. And he also was a prolific actor.
19:48
Speaker 1: You know about a star is born, but he was
19:49
Speaker 1: also in one hundred TV shows and films, and of
19:54
Speaker 1: course he got the Country Music Lifetime Achievement Award every
19:58
Speaker 1: ward you can possibly imagine, even though he wasn't really
20:00
Speaker 1: a Nashville industry kind of guy. Amazing amazing life. So yeah,
20:04
Speaker 1: sad that we lost somebody like that, but man, what
20:08
Speaker 1: an incredible life. We should all hope to achieve what
20:11
Speaker 1: that guy did. Chris Christofferson. Pour one out for him
20:13
