  Speaker 1: The great ROBERTA. Flack and Donnie Hathaway. ROBERTA. Flack would
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: have been eighty nine. You ever watch the Grammys and
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: they do the in memoriam and they everybody that died,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and you go, WHOA forgot that person died?
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, sometimes and sometimes it's sometimes there's somebody really
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: prominent that they forget.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you didn't know the person was dead at all. Anyway,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Robert I kind of forgotten. We lost ROBERTA. Flack last
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: year in twenty five first.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Killing me softly with his song you used to love
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: that so awesome. All right, Well, she's she's no, she's
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: no bad bunny. Tell you that she's no bad bunny.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: You are correct.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Did you see the ratings? The ratings are starting to
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: come out, which is pretty impressive news for Turning Point.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: So it turned out forty eight point six million US
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: households turned in tuned into the game. That's a thirteen
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: percent decrease from last year's game. Twenty six point five
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: million watched the halftime show. Now, that's down thirty nine
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: percent from Kenner's Lamar.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: This is TV versus two, This all TV actual Super Bowl, right,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: that's right, This is a Turning one. There's the actual
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: game and actual Bad Buddy halftime go right.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Well, what I do know, I don't have the actual
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the exact Turning Point numbers. What I know is that
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: if forty forty eight point six million households turn tuned
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: into the game and twenty six point five million watched
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the halftime show, where does twenty two million go?
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I know I know where some I know where. I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: know where about five or six million of them went,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: because I've been looking at streaming numbers and it was
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: all at one point. I was watching it on Turning
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Point ussa's YouTube channel, and when you're on YouTube, it
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: shows you how many people are watching. Right now, I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: think it maxed out at about five. But they were
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: on One America's Voice, they were on TV, and they
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: were on One American news network, Real America's Voice, a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: few other platforms. They're Rumble, stream et cetera, et cetera,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: et cetera. They had a little problem with x. Twitter
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: couldn't run it for some copyright thing. Probably lost them
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a couple. But here's what's weird. Here's what I'd want
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to know again. You got to do apples and apples.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Let's go back any other prior Super Bowl and see
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: what happens to viewership for Super Bowl fifty, super Bowl
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: fifty one, super Bowl forty seven, and see what happens
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: at halftime, because I'm sure that's when America goes to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the bathroom or America goes and makes a sandwich or
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: something like that. For the most part, so but it
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: was it was an unbridled success. The turning Point USA
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: stream was. I loved it and I'm just so glad
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: they did it. A couple of questions, Should they do
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: that every year? I mean, let's say we have a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: halftime next year that doesn't get everybody all torked off.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Should Turning Point do one anyway? And why not? It
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: won't matter.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: It won't matter if they're going to have any shows
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: that get people torqued off. This is a model now
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: and the whole industry is talking about the fact that
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: this is now a game changer that right now NBC
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: or whoever holds the rights to the Super Bowl understands,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the NFL certainly understands that this has now across the rubicon.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: They're going to there will be al and not only
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Turning Point for that matter, I mean anybody could do
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: this if you've got an entity that says, look, we've
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: because this is the This is this new frontier of
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: streaming and over the top programming, much like what we
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: do on Salem News Channel every day every day, You
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and I we pop up on SNC dot TV, the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: M and M Experiences every morning streamed on X So
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: you know, we we our shows are now reached in
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: a variety of ways legacy broadcast media. That's a it's
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: a it's a changing world. And so yeah, it's gonna happen,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and it's gonna. Believe me, next year Turning Points Show
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: will be bigger and better than every because they're gonna
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: have a whole year to plan it out.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: So it's gonna be that will they? Should they? And
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: then listen, I don't pretend for a minute because the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: guy holding the reins of all of this decision making
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: is Jay Z. He apparently is now a guy who
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: just about being really will the NFL go? I think
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: we're good for the for them? A lot of pushback
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: there is, and let's say we get I'll tell you
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the one thing that and I would just love this
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: so very very much is Metallica. Oh that would just
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: be the just the past, and it'll Middle America will
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: be happy. You know, it's a broad appeal, and I mean,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I know there no matter who you pick, there'll be
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: millions of Americans who go, who's that? And I don't
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: like that? That's that's a given. There's nobody that everybody knows.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: But if it's something that sort of satisfied, satisfies Middle
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: America will Turning Point need, it won't really be an alternative.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I guess it will be an alternative alternative. I think yes,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: there's room. The world has learned that on Super Bowl Sunday,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: everybody is vegging and gathering and eating and just sitting
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: there consuming stuff. So why not get out there? If
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: there is a Metallica or sort of a country act
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: or something like that that that actual conservatives might actually watch,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: will there be a a liberal alternative show? Why not?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: And know what?
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Why not? And why not America?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: But let's but let's talk about the Turning Point USA
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: role for just a moment. There's been this real ugly
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: kind of backstory undercurrent battling with Candace Owens and she's
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: calling Erica Kirk out. Let's point out that this is
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: arguably one of the biggest successes of the Turning Point
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: us A story, and this happened after Charlie obviously was killed.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: And who's at the helm, Erica Kirk. So she she's
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: she's steering the ship right now. So to everybody who
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: says that she's not qualified, you know this fig your head, yep, yep.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Letting the wifey have it. Let's just be nice to her.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And I've got got it.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I've got it on good authority from people that I
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: know in the Turning Point family. She was incredibly hands
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: on with this. She was very much a part of
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the street, the planning and all that. So she's a
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: boss and she's going to be a force to be
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: reckoned with. Hey, let's talk about a couple of brands
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: that aren't are suffering a little bit right now. One
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: close to home in the metroplex. Southwest Airlines and Ring Cameras.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I'm just been dying to talk to you about these
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: two issues. First of all, are you watching the blowback
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: that Southwest is getting over the new seating arrangement and
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the pre boarding.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Southwest forever has been just the common folk airline. We
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: got it. We're having fun here the flight attendants have
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a sense of humor, sometimes a little too much of one,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: but it's just it's just a happy, gold lucky airline.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: And I've flown Southwest a bunch of times. I love it.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: And the bottom line is you show up and it's
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: it's cattle call. Show up early, get a seat, pick
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: your own seat. And there was a certain charm to that.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Then a few months ago they said, nope, we're going
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to go assign seating like every other airline. And most
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: people I know hate it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Everybody hates it. And here's what's happening. Because if you
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: get a seat in the front towards the front of
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the plane and instantly the way you characterize it isn't
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: quite true. When you book a flight prior to the
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: new seating, you can get into the call, the A zones,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: or the get it's not a total cattle call because
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: you go, you get a sign like little baby veal,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: you get into little pens cow.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but prodded in a little early.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: But you can get like you can pay extra. You
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: had always been able to pay extra for early boarding,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: which incidentally, the key with early boarding ticket from a
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: frequent flyer, it's the overhead bend space. That's all that matters.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: So now what's happening with the assigned seating project that
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Southwest is embarking upon. All the bins are getting filled
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: up even when people are getting into their seats, So
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: they got to go back twenty thirty rows in the
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: back to try to put up there. Everybody hates it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Southwest is really damaged its brand, and there's a lot
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: of executives on Wall Street saying, yeah, this is not
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: this is kind of like New Coke.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: The exactly what I was going to say, is it
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: like the New Coke? Something that a thought would be
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: a good idea until he realized it wasn't. I saw
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: an ad was I don't know if it was during
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl or soon after. I saw an ad
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: campaign that just completely savaged the way Southwest used to
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: do it the cattle call, making it look rough and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: unmanageable and terrible, and then making the modern new way
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to do it look great. And that company is Southwest Airlines.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: They literally had a plane, a bunch of airline airliner
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: seats in the middle of a jungle, and it was like,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: here's how it used to be, And everybody's fighting over
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: each other and where climbing over each other. It just
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: looked like chaos and then upping and now here it
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: is now and everybody just comes in and sits down
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: in their assigned seat. That struck me as Southwest willing
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: to throw their old system under the bus in order
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to make people please believe that the new way of
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: doing things is better.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a new wild West here with these startup airlines.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm in South Carolina today and I hopped
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: on a Breeze Airways flight last night from Tampa to Greenville,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: NonStop hour and eight minutes, beautiful jet, brand new plane,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: first class incidentally, which is and it's not real first
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: class fares. It was like two hundred bucks sit in
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: their first class.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: It's a great airline. And they remind me of the
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: way Southwest was when they first started out. It's kind
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: of that Southwest Jet Blue sort of happy, go lucky,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: we're gonna try harder. And Breeze. Joey Hudson here in
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: South Carolina just shared with me that Breeze has made
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: announcements that they're they're expanding all over the place, So
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: keep an eye out for breeze. So good for them
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: and too bad. I hope Southwest can can can pivot
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: here and figure this out. And let's talk about Ring
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: because we miss this this huge controversy. So there's and
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: it did dawn on me when I saw the commercial
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: at the Super Bowl, I thought, hmm, that seems a
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: little Orwellian so Ring, So all right, well look up,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: look it up online. There's a lot of controversy right now.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Ring cameras. You know this. It's kind of like what
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: poor Nancy Guthrie, I guess had in the front door.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Right right.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: And by the way, my new rule here on the
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Mike Gallagher Show, and I'm sure you're doing it too,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: no updates until there's an actual update. There's Fox News
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: has gone bonkers on his Nancy Guthrie coverge.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Sit somebody down, Mike com up and talk to him
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: for ten minutes of people who don't know anything any Hannity.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Last night I was in the hotel room. It was
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: like a half hour watching Hannity just interview people speculate
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Dan Bongino and they got nothing to say. I mean, well,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: there's no communication between the the police don't have a clue.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Oh the oh there's police active. What there's nothing to
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: this case. It's really weird and so we're not going
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: to just do the mindless speculation. But anyway, in the
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl was this ring commercial and it said,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: you know there's millions of dogs that are lost every year.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I did see this go ahead?
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Okay and now controversial? Oh how's it controversial?
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: AI?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: As I will do. Here's what everybody has. Millions of
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: people have ring cameras, uh constantly watching the street. Correct
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: the ring ceo walking along and says, hey, if you've
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: lost your dog, we right ring for free, will write
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: download picture of your dog and put it out there
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: in the universe and maybe we'll find your dog.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: And then every camera in the neighborhood is now looking
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: for the dog, and AI powered to be able to
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: identify the dog on every single ring camera in an
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: entire city. So that if well, well guess what if
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: they can do that with dogs, they can do that
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: with people.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: That is absolute.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Orwellian Big Brother nineteen eighty four crap. And people are
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: saying throw away your ring cameras, pals because it's a
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: bad idea.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, And it was known I mean, I've got
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: another brand. What you've known what no I got I've
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: known that they could do that they.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, you knew that they could focus on your on
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: your wife and the whole city is looking for your
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: wife or your kid.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: This is like license plate readers. Is it's creepy if
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: it's a privacy invasion or if they're tracking you as
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: you go to the gun store or the liquor store.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: But it's awesome if it finds Nancy Guthrie.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Well here's yeah, it's awesome if it finds Nancy Guthrie.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: This is yeah, I mean, this is surveillance. This is
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: closed circuit surveillance on steroids. This is taking your camera
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: and turning your camera into a tool for a community
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: to try. And what are we going to do if
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: you get a bad guy who's the mayor of a
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: city and wants, oh, let's find those conservatives. There's a
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: mega guy out there that it'd.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Have to be with a consult Would if I had
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: a ring camera, would you can opt out with my consensus?
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: You can opt out. You can opt out if you want. Well,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: then you got yeah, so they say, and you got
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: to go to settings, and you got to figure out
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: where the settings are. No, no, it's this is not
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: good on any people. But isn't it interesting? There was
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: an ad that was intent and here was the takeaway
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: that blew my mind. If you remember the commercial, the
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: guy said, I think he said, like seventy million dogs
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: a year go missing in the United States. Well, thanks
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: to this ring camera technology where AI can find we're
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: returning about one dog a day, one dog a day
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: against seventy million. And you're bragging about that.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not so sure.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, put the brakes there, skippy, I'm not I mean
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: something a long walk. I'm glad one dog a day
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: in America is being returned so that we can have
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: this gigantic big brother you know, a and and it's
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: a hurting ring big time right.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Good, Yeah, you're on your own.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Put the put a flyer up for your dog on
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: the on the telephone pole like we used to do.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Do it the way you have.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Here's Fluffy Fluffy Bido's missing fifty dollars reward. Keep my
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: camera out of it.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: All right, we got that figured out. Happy Tuesday, Loveday,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Mike Ballagher. He will rock at ten o'clock on six
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: sixty am. The answer
