  Speaker 7: to places where Ted cruz uh and Mary and Marcia
• 1:08
  Speaker 7: Kentwell can take over college education and regulate its athletics
• 1:12
  Speaker 7: department because that's what we need, because they'll do a

  Speaker 7: So much going on as yesterday given, you know, and
• 1:31
  Speaker 7: I want to get into the cabinet meeting our friends
• 1:34
  Speaker 7: from the City Elders, trying to put ethical people in office.
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: A big event coming up in our flagship city. The
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: founder of City Elders going to visit with them Cityelders
• 1:48
  Speaker 7: dot com. If you're interested, by the way, start your own,

• 1:55
  Speaker 7: group of faith based people out there trying to, you know,
• 1:59
  Speaker 7: put ethical people back in office.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: But it goes to the point I've made.
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: Before, Mary, that all the things that made America great
• 2:13
  Speaker 7: in the first place are buried under piles of stuff.
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: It's like walking into a beautiful Antebellum mansion that has
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: been inhabited.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: By a hoarder.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I like that one.
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: Can we say that's a good one, That's a good analogy,
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: some beautiful eighteenth century home. It would be like Thomas
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: Jefferson's Monticello has had one of those families from Help
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: my mother's a hoarder on the Learning channel move in
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: there and just start piling up stuff on these beautiful
• 2:52
  Speaker 7: pieces of furniture and newspapers and boxes and crackers, and
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: never mind the ones on the chair all there, you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: just covering up all the stuff that had made the
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: country great in the first place. So you know, that's
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: what we're dealing with here. That's all I'm trying to
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: bring out in that is that we are living in
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: a world where's that has happened, and we've got to
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: understand that we need to get a dumpster outside and
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: start shoveling all the newspapers that have been piled up on.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: The floor out.
• 3:29
  Speaker 7: Meanwhile, the stuff that means stuff to us, our first things.
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: Oil prices bounced up a dollar yesterday on the open
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: market after the military strikes targeted Iranian site in the
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: Strait of horror moves. Much of the press yesterday was
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: driven by the press agencies out of Tehran calling their
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: friendly ears at AP and Reuter's, including leaks from the inside,
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: allegedly from inside the administration, high ranking officials telling Reuters
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: that no money has shown up yet for the Board
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: of Peace, nor have more than a cursory amount of
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: soldiers been committed to the stabilization patrols. Also leaks from
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: within the Department of Justice claiming that the President has
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: told them to lay off President Delseriguez of Venezuela Department
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: of Justice spokesperson said in response to the allegations that
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: they were told to shut down investigations into her, they said,
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: quote there was never investigation into her to shut down.
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: Crews in Washington State in longview, continue to sift through
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: the rubble the devastation of the Nippon Dinah Wave Packaging Company,
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: where a tank ruptured and killed eleven so far, authorities
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: say Minneapolis Police Chief Brian o'harrow, who was hired after
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: the death of one his name, George Floyd, has resigned
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: rather than faced disciplinary action for his own actions. Mayor
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: Jacob Fry says, unable to substantiate allegations that O'Hara, along
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: with the Commissioner, have been calling Batman and Robin In
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: to help fight crime in their city, actual allegations against
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: Chief O'Hara or that he was having intimate relationships with
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: city employees, but failing to make those substantiated, they went
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: after O'Hara for saying he interfered with the investigation. Matthew
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: Perry's live in personal assistant has been sentenced to three
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: years in prison. Kenneth Iwamasa sixty year old assistant judge

  Speaker 3: At you Know, A little ignl.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Absolutely for you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: Our friends from City Elders on the phone with a
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: City Elders dot com if you want to find out.
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: And these are the folks who work hard to make
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: sure ethical people are in our representations, and we need
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: to make sure of that every day. Because I've said
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: this before, it's it's the idea that you could, you know,
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: in a debate somewhere figure out who's going to make
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: the right decisions at the right time, and you just
• 13:55
  Speaker 7: you can't gameplay all that out. You can't get to
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: a place where you say, hey, a bunch of Barbary
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: pirates start raiding American ships and taking American citizens hostage.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: What do you do?
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: Nobody could prepare George Washington for that. He understood that,
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: you know, and this was the flummixation when the Barbary
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: pirates started raiding our ships. Was Jefferson and Adams were
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: dispatched out to talk to the head of the Barbary pirates,
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: and they wanted to know what we did to them,
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: what had what offense had we committed to them? He said,
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: no offense outside of the fact that you're infidel, and
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: our and our teachings tell us that the infidels are,
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: you know, and must be dispatched. This is the point
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: I made earlier about you know, Iran has to be
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: that place that makes the determination that helps bring the
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: Islamist world into the twenty first century and to the
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: table of the world's faiths. And we've all done it.
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: We've all all of our faiths, Jewish, Christian, have all,
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: you know, put aside parts of our doctrines over time
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: as we've grown as a world. And I think this
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: is that point. President Trump has pushed that point on
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: the Islamists. But you know, George Washington couldn't have been
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: asked before he became president, what are you going to
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: do if these people start raiding your ships for no reason?
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: He would It wouldn't have occurred to him that somebody
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: would just raid a ship and kidnap hundreds of people
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: simply because they disagreed with them religiously.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: So you need people of good faith.
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: Out there to make these decisions to sort through these issues.
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: George Bush and Al Gore were never asked, Hey, if
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: somebody hijacks four airplanes and starts flying him into buildings,
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: what do you do? You just hope that the person
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: who's in that position is ethical. Who's talking about this locally,
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: We've got a supervisor who's allowing a big university in
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: our area to just dump construction waste onto a farm
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: that had been given hundreds of thousands of dollars in
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: agricultural easements and now they're running a construction of contracting
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: dump depot on their farm near a critical stream, which
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: we were told the left and yes, she's a Democrat.
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: You know, we're told we're there to protect, you know,
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: the city elderscityelders dot org is a group that you know,

• 17:02

• 17:06
  Speaker 7: the excrement hits the air handler or when the deceiver
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: shows up with a great deal, we have ethnical people saying, no,
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: that's not what I'm here for. Kevin Harris, uh, founder

  Speaker 7: guys at City elders Dount.
• 17:32
  Speaker 20: Sort of struggling with you know, I loved him in
• 17:34
  Speaker 20: respecting him, but not you know, probably not in the
• 17:36
  Speaker 20: way that I needed to it. But but you know,

• 17:55
  Speaker 20: for a friend. And and he said, he said, you

  Speaker 2: Something I don't know, and I think it was it
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: was Veterans Day or something.
• 18:42
  Speaker 20: And I would always call him, and my wife it
• 18:44
  Speaker 20: was you know, they they were old school. They went
• 18:46
  Speaker 20: to bed at eight thirty, kind of a five thirty
• 18:48
  Speaker 20: every day, and I understand that, but yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 18:54
  Speaker 20: and but you know, I hadn't It was so late.
• 18:56
  Speaker 20: I think it was almost like a quarter to ten.
• 18:58
  Speaker 20: And and my wife if it's like you better call.
• 19:01
  Speaker 20: And I was like, honey, it's so late. They go
• 19:02
  Speaker 20: to bed early. I said, I don't I don't want
• 19:04
  Speaker 20: to wake them up. And and she said, honey, I
• 19:06
  Speaker 20: just think you better call.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: And I was like, okay, well I'm gonna call.
• 19:08
  Speaker 20: And you know, Joe, when I when I when I,
• 19:11
  Speaker 20: I only think the phone rang one time, I mean honestly,
• 19:13
  Speaker 20: like it was like he was like hello, and I
• 19:16
  Speaker 20: was like hey, Grandy, and and and he I heard
• 19:18
  Speaker 20: him in the background he goes he said.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I told you Pat he would call me. I told
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: you he wouldn't let me down. And it was just like, yeah,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: so you got it.
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: That is so good that you know when you hear that,
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: you know a little acknowledgment that it's it means something.
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: Do you find that the men and women who have served,
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: and especially in active duty, there's there's a struggle with that,
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: you know, faith, you know, because they've seen things that
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: you know, we leave you thinking how can God allow
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: this kind of thing to go on on his world?
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: And and it's hard.
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: I mean I've talked to a lot of veterans who
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: you know, come back from battlefields, you know, and their
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: scars are not early on the outside.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 20:03
  Speaker 20: Yeah, well, you know that's a perfect segue to the
• 20:06
  Speaker 20: next part of the of the story. Years later, Ronald
• 20:10
  Speaker 20: Reagan and had tapped George Bush Sr. Into making sure
• 20:14
  Speaker 20: that all of our World War Two veterans received their medals,
• 20:17
  Speaker 20: because most of them have never received anything.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Really got back, yes, sir.
• 20:21
  Speaker 20: And my grandmother got all the paperwork in and she
• 20:24
  Speaker 20: filled out my grandfather, didn't She filled it all out
• 20:26
  Speaker 20: and confirmed that he was who he was, And so
• 20:29
  Speaker 20: here it was.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, I was.
• 20:30
  Speaker 20: Probably in my late twenties early thirties at this point,
• 20:34
  Speaker 20: and and and all these medals came in, and I
• 20:36
  Speaker 20: remember I was. It was Christmas time one year, and
• 20:38
  Speaker 20: I went into my grandfather's library and study and we
• 20:43
  Speaker 20: just started talking and and and uh. And I went
• 20:46
  Speaker 20: over to his medals and I said, I said, Grandy,
• 20:48
  Speaker 20: that's what we called him, Grandy. And uh And I
• 20:51
  Speaker 20: said what I said, I said, what was this one about?
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I said?
• 20:54
  Speaker 20: And and you know, Joe, for over an hour and
• 20:56
  Speaker 20: a half he told me story after story after story
• 20:59
  Speaker 20: about the conflict, about about what was going on. He
• 21:02
  Speaker 20: told me how he said that you know that basically
• 21:05
  Speaker 20: they are the history books for rewriting history, And then
• 21:08
  Speaker 20: they were saying things that weren't accurate. They were changing history,
• 21:11
  Speaker 20: and to be careful, you know, be very careful in
• 21:15
  Speaker 20: my future. But he just he shaid, I remember about
• 21:17
  Speaker 20: a year, about an hour and a half in, I
• 21:19
  Speaker 20: walked around the corner. And when I walked around the
• 21:22
  Speaker 20: corner and my grandmother grabbed me by my shirt and
• 21:24
  Speaker 20: pulled me in the kitchen. I was going to get
• 21:25
  Speaker 20: a drink. And she says, I hope you understand how
• 21:28
  Speaker 20: important this is. And I said, yes, ma'am, I do.
• 21:30
  Speaker 20: And then she says, no, you don't. And I said,
• 21:32
  Speaker 20: she said, I hope you understand how important this is.
• 21:34
  Speaker 20: And I said, I said, yes, ma'am, I'm going back in.
• 21:36
  Speaker 20: I just want to get a drink. She said, no,
• 21:37
  Speaker 20: you don't, and she still was holding onto my shirt.
• 21:40
  Speaker 20: And she's never, she's never. She was a wonderful grandmother.
• 21:42
  Speaker 20: She never treated me like this. And I was like,
• 21:44
  Speaker 20: what in the world And she said, she said, he
• 21:47
  Speaker 20: has been home from the war for forty some years
• 21:49
  Speaker 20: and she said she said, he is never one time,
• 21:51
  Speaker 20: to my knowledge, ever spoken.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: About any of this to anyone. Really, Oh, my God,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: it was like yes, and I mean there's cold chills,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: like you know, like the blood.
• 22:01
  Speaker 22: Let's see if something costs less but people are happier
• 22:05
  Speaker 22: with it. That sounds like something to look into. And
• 22:07
  Speaker 22: that is meta share. Maybe you've heard switching to meta
• 22:10
  Speaker 22: share to pay for healthcare can save many families up
• 22:13
  Speaker 22: to five hundred bucks a month, and.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: That is huge.
• 22:15
  Speaker 22: But it's also true that people are way more satisfied
• 22:18
  Speaker 22: after making the switch too. The members satisfaction rate for
• 22:21
  Speaker 22: meta share is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Double.
• 22:25
  Speaker 22: Meta share works too. It's been around for thirty years.
• 22:28
  Speaker 22: Members have shared more than five billion dollars of each
• 22:31
  Speaker 22: other's bills. People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide
• 22:34
  Speaker 22: PPO network. So yeah, really you can save a ton

• 28:19
  Speaker 7: join us and hit us up with all the things
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: that have been going on on the field of play.
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: This Thursday morning, Happy Thursday, Macros. I know people in
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: your circle used to call it Little Friday. So how
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: are you doing this morning?
• 28:37
  Speaker 26: There's a Yeah, there's a friend of mine who makes
• 28:40
  Speaker 26: this thing.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: He makes these little shots.
• 28:42
  Speaker 26: Called little Beers Anders, Yeah, little Beers, and it's got
• 28:46
  Speaker 26: Bailey's in it, and it's got this some liqueur called
• 28:49
  Speaker 26: look for forty three or something like that. Okay, I
• 28:52
  Speaker 26: did my homework last night, and I hope my video.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: I hope my audio is doing okay. I could shut
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: down my videos my audio okay, you yeah, you're so
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: good to me.
• 29:01
  Speaker 26: Okay, good, all right, because my video is kind of
• 29:04
  Speaker 26: jumping around a bit, I thought I want to make.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Sure we're okay.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 29:07
  Speaker 26: I did my homework last night because we were talking about, uh,
• 29:12
  Speaker 26: you know, where does where? Where does college athletics sit?
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Is one of the major industries.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Well okay, wait, I'm way off all right.
• 29:20
  Speaker 26: To put size into perspective, the US healthcare industry is
• 29:23
  Speaker 26: a four point seven trillion dollar industry. Real estate three
• 29:28
  Speaker 26: point nine trillion. Total US sports industry four hundred and
• 29:33
  Speaker 26: seventeen billion in the NCAA subsector college athletics whatever it
• 29:39
  Speaker 26: is like at twelve.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: To seventeen and a half billion.
• 29:41
  Speaker 26: So while it's powerful in the world of sports, it
• 29:45
  Speaker 26: doesn't I made one of these things call where does
• 29:48
  Speaker 26: it sit as far as industry in the world in America?
• 29:51
  Speaker 26: Well way down anyway, I was, I was way off. However,
• 29:56
  Speaker 26: just what we needed was more government. Joe Just I
• 30:00
  Speaker 26: know he loves this, and the Democrats and the Republicans
• 30:03
  Speaker 26: are actually trying to work together. Senators Maria Canwell who's
• 30:08
  Speaker 26: from Washington, the Democrat Ted Cruz who's been talking for
• 30:12
  Speaker 26: a year, and all this stuff unveiled yesterday the Protect
• 30:16
  Speaker 26: College Sports Act on Wednesday, a bipartisan tech to provide
• 30:20
  Speaker 26: some sort of protection for the NCAA it's member schools. Okay,
• 30:24
  Speaker 26: so a group of US Senators introduced this wide, sweeping
• 30:28
  Speaker 26: legislation now that aims to address many of the current issues.
• 30:32
  Speaker 26: It boils down to the Protect College Sports Act. Maybe
• 30:35
  Speaker 26: we'll call it the PCSA.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 30:37
  Speaker 26: Written after months of negotiation because Ted Cruz and Cantwell
• 30:42
  Speaker 26: just they met, they talked, They told the NCAA Look,
• 30:46
  Speaker 26: we're going to talk anti trust exemptions for you. We're
• 30:49
  Speaker 26: going to enforce several rules that have been challenged. But
• 30:52
  Speaker 26: here's what it boils down to, pretty much limiting athletes
• 30:55
  Speaker 26: to transferring schools only one time without penalty, okay, good,
• 31:00
  Speaker 26: Limiting athlete eligibility to five years maximum five that's it.
• 31:06
  Speaker 26: Prohibiting former professional athletes from playing in college. By the way,
• 31:10
  Speaker 26: put an asterisk next to that, because I'm going to
• 31:13
  Speaker 26: address Will Wade tomorrow, the basketball coach at LSU. I
• 31:17
  Speaker 26: have'n't talked about in a couple of weeks, and I
• 31:19
  Speaker 26: kind of missed my Will Wade slam, all right. Also
• 31:22
  Speaker 26: prohibiting schools from poaching a coach from another school during
• 31:26
  Speaker 26: their sports season. That is called the Lane Kiffin rule.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Which we will also get.
• 31:33
  Speaker 26: You know, so when you talk to now Back in
• 31:36
  Speaker 26: April before this became, when Cruise was in the middle
• 31:39
  Speaker 26: of this, Ted Cruz said that one of the things
• 31:42
  Speaker 26: he noticed that he said, loyalty in college athletics was
• 31:46
  Speaker 26: an issue.
• 31:47
  Speaker 27: You've got a situation where athletes are engaged in a
• 31:53
  Speaker 27: fight for the top bidder. Many of them are not
• 31:57
  Speaker 27: remaining with their schools. They're not necessarily loyal to their schools.
• 32:00
  Speaker 27: They switched school through the transfer portal year after year
• 32:03
  Speaker 27: after year, and I think we're at a real risk
• 32:06
  Speaker 27: of saying college athletics permanently damaged.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, so everybody helped me.
• 32:16
  Speaker 26: Many in the allright, Hold on a second, Many in
• 32:18
  Speaker 26: the nation's richest teams attempting to circumvent the cap, you know,
• 32:23
  Speaker 26: driving the football rosters, as we talked about yesterday, in
• 32:27
  Speaker 26: excess of forty million. And the new bill would provide
• 32:31
  Speaker 26: legal protection for the College Sports Commission too, which was
• 32:35
  Speaker 26: formed to work very closely on nil and trying to
• 32:39
  Speaker 26: close some loopholes that schools if you used to.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: Pay players above the cow.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Oh gee, you think that's still going on?
• 32:44
  Speaker 26: So so Ted Cruz final second second SoundBite.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Here and then Joe, I'll let you.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Go crazy, Cruise.
• 32:51
  Speaker 26: He just did not like this rich getting richer thing
• 32:55
  Speaker 26: in college athletics.
• 32:56
  Speaker 27: I'm seeing a handful of giant super schools with all
• 33:00
  Speaker 27: the money recruiting all the top talent, and the.
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: Rest of the schools being left in the dust.
• 33:04
  Speaker 27: And that's not good for the fans, that's not good
• 33:07
  Speaker 27: good for the sport. And I think there's a real
• 33:09
  Speaker 27: need for Congress to act and set some uniform rules.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: So there we are. I can't wait for the I
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: can't wait for the debate.
• 33:17
  Speaker 26: I know we have a lot more issues in college
• 33:19
  Speaker 26: athletics in the world, but the bill does not address
• 33:23
  Speaker 26: whether college athletes should be considered employees of their school.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: The n C two A has.
• 33:28
  Speaker 26: Asked Congress to prohibit athletes from being employees. Uh, it's
• 33:32
  Speaker 26: a classification that would make it possible for athletes at
• 33:35
  Speaker 26: the former union, maybe they bargain their additional rights as
• 33:39
  Speaker 26: part of that. But Cruz said, look, banning employee status
• 33:43
  Speaker 26: was critical to building of a sustainable future for college.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Health mankets, because that's that's the role of the US
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: sent them. That's right, That's that's their job to do
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: all that. That's what we hired them.
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: Exactly said, yeah, that's that's you know, just my musical accompaniment.
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: You know how I loathe to say I told you so,
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: but you know, you know, And and not to slag
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: on Ted Cruz and how close he came to being president,
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: but he sure sounds like some like a Marxist there,
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: I mean, if he didn't sound like Ted Cruse, so
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: obviously I would have sworn that was Bernie Sanders.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: You got a bunch of millionaire schools, there's super.
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: Schools, and and I'm just sad that's very Oh yeah, yeah,
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: well you hear him enough, you know, it's it's actually
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: it's actually our what's the ard vark from Saturday Morning Cartoons,
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: which I believe was Jackie Mason. So it's actually me
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: doing Jackie Mason's version of an ardvark who just happens
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: to sound like Bernie Sanders.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: You're going to age, well, you know it's too.
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: Late, but I mean that's what Ted crew says, like
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: We've spent probably a reasonable portion of this program in
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: an abstract to this story, because as soon as I
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: saw it, I said, you know, oh goodness gracious, and
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: and this is this is the perversion of the commerce clause.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: It's it's cronyism. You know, it is Ted Cruise.
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: And at first I thought he went to University of Texas,
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: which would make all of the pontification about super schools.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: But he went to Princeton.
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: So okay, you know, does this does this mean Princeton's
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: guaranteed a spot in the college football playoffs if they
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: win the Ivy League.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know, it's just, you know, please get out
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: of this.
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: You know, haven't haven't these people ruined enough industries in
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: the United States?
• 35:46
  Speaker 26: Well, here's the here's also the here's also the BS yesterday,
• 35:49
  Speaker 26: because the scribes and even Paul Feinbaum, who I just despise,
• 35:53
  Speaker 26: I think he's I think he's so on the surface
• 35:57
  Speaker 26: trying to cover everything.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Heather Dinnis is really good, she's a good reporter, but.
• 36:00
  Speaker 26: Paul Fireman runs the worst talk show.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: And you happen anyway. Uh, that's for another day. But
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: what I thought was because.
• 36:08
  Speaker 26: They jumped all over this little comment that Kirby Smart
• 36:11
  Speaker 26: said when he goes, well, I'm talking to my president.
• 36:13
  Speaker 26: We're thinking about just the SEC just moving away from
• 36:16
  Speaker 26: the NC double A.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: You know what, that ain't gonna have.
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: That's why not, I mean, why do we need to
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: you know, I just well, at some point you still
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: have to have somebody.
• 36:26
  Speaker 26: You got to have a governing body somewhere.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: You do, you know, you do.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: You're going to make that case, make that case for me.
• 36:34
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: You know this is we were talking about the Commerce Clause.
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: Because the Commerce Clause uses the word regulate and in
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: seventeen eighty nine, the word regulate meant to keep regular.
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: So if if there was collusion going on, say there
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: were ten schools that were colluding for TV rights over
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: other all the other schools and not maybe maybe you
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: could bring a case for that to the Congress about
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: violating the commerce clothes.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: But that was it.
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: It didn't give you the right to get in there
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: and start mucking around and saying super schools can't get
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: all the best talent. And this is the same stuff
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: they did with Napster back when. Remember Napster was the
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: file sharing software and people you know, downloading songs and
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: sharing it, and people were talking about copyright infringement. You
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: know what, Sony said, hold it, we could sell singles
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: for a dollar. We used to do that back in
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: the fifties. And they started doing it, and Apple invented
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: this thing called the iPod, and you know what, Napster
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: went poof without a single government action, you know, so
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: stop it. Can you send me that Ted Cruz clip.
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: I've never heard a Republican sound more like Bernie Sanders
• 37:47
  Speaker 7: before in my life.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, God, you know.
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: And for our friends in Beaumont, Texas, I'm sorry he's

  Speaker 7: I thank you for letting it's be of service to
• 44:19
  Speaker 7: you this morning, some great reaction Max Report, and especially
• 44:25
  Speaker 7: given the fact that the last day or so we've
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: kind of been harsh on Republicans a little bit. Mike
• 44:31
  Speaker 7: writes in good God, you're right Ted Cruz just sounds
• 44:35
  Speaker 7: like a slightly less ethnically diverse Bernie Sanders.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: I think I know where you're going with that there.
• 44:43
  Speaker 7: City Elders founder Jesse Leon Rodgers is going to be
• 44:47
  Speaker 7: visiting our friends here in our flagship city Friday morning
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: over Zoom to kind of talk about, you know, the
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: history of City Elders founded out in Oklahom Watchmen on
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: the Wall network leading to the beginnings of the City Elders,
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: and he's going to be getting them fired up. Kevin
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: Harris is my friend and a minister himself, and I've
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: said this in the past. Kevin, tell me if I'm
• 45:16
  Speaker 7: mis representing. You know, when people talk about the bad
• 45:21
  Speaker 7: things that are going on in the world, how can
• 45:23
  Speaker 7: God let this happen, especially after a Memorial Day where
• 45:27
  Speaker 7: we talk about all the families that have been rend
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: asunder and war. This isn't God's realm per se he
• 45:34
  Speaker 7: created the world, but this is the devil's dominion here
• 45:38
  Speaker 7: and that's how these bad things happen, and it's on
• 45:41
  Speaker 7: us to persevere over them. Am I am I right
• 45:46
  Speaker 7: about that.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: No, I think you're doing a good job.
• 45:48
  Speaker 20: I mean, I think I think the misconception is this
• 45:51
  Speaker 20: is that, you know, the the enemy, which the Bible
• 45:54
  Speaker 20: says in Ephesians, that we wrestle out against flesh and blood,
• 45:57
  Speaker 20: but against principalities and powers and spiritual wickedns and the
• 46:00
  Speaker 20: heavily realms. And that's a that's a really challenging concept
• 46:04
  Speaker 20: for for non believers or you know, educated individuals who
• 46:09
  Speaker 20: have never really delved delved into that, dove into that and.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: That theology and that teaching. But and but what it
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: says is real. John since and Jesus said.
• 46:18
  Speaker 20: This, he said, he said, he said, the thief comes
• 46:20
  Speaker 20: only to steal, to kill, and to destroy. But I
• 46:23
  Speaker 20: have come that they might have life and have it
• 46:24
  Speaker 20: to the full, or have it abundantly. And you know,
• 46:27
  Speaker 20: and and held he also told his disciples that they
• 46:30
  Speaker 20: came to and said, Lord, how do we you know?
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Teach us to pray? And he said, pray this our Father,
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: which aren't heaven?
• 46:35
  Speaker 20: Which you know, that was a really really really big
• 46:38
  Speaker 20: deal in Jesus' culture because Jewish people and that they
• 46:41
  Speaker 20: were not even allowed to whisper God's name, right, I mean,
• 46:44
  Speaker 20: it was it was so holy that they wouldn't they
• 46:47
  Speaker 20: They came up with other names for God.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: Other than his one name because of their their fear
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: and their honor of him.
• 46:54
  Speaker 20: And so when Jesus came out, he starts telling men, women, lepers,
• 46:58
  Speaker 20: I mean the lowest of Hey, this is how you pray.
• 47:02
  Speaker 20: You say, my Father, And you're like, wait a minute,
• 47:04
  Speaker 20: that that that makes it personal, Like, you know, who
• 47:07
  Speaker 20: aren't in heaven. Hallow be thy name, your kingdom, come,
• 47:11
  Speaker 20: and your will be done on earth. And I think
• 47:13
  Speaker 20: this is the conflict that the Church and is struggling
• 47:16
  Speaker 20: with even in its own identity today, is you know, yes,
• 47:20
  Speaker 20: we live in a fallen world. Yes the enemy has
• 47:23
  Speaker 20: control of a lot of the systems of this world.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: But that's why it's so important.
• 47:28
  Speaker 20: I get a lot of pushback from pastors and Christians
• 47:31
  Speaker 20: about being involved in politics, and I'm like, but but
• 47:35
  Speaker 20: but if if if Christians aren't there, then there is
• 47:38
  Speaker 20: no there's no light.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: According to the Gospel, you know, we're the salt and
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: light of the world, and we've got to be in.
• 47:46
  Speaker 8: Well.
• 47:46
  Speaker 7: I mean, that is the City Elders, isn't it. That's
• 47:50
  Speaker 7: saying no, no, no, no.
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: We can't.
• 47:52
  Speaker 7: You see this ground to the enemy, we can't. We
• 47:55
  Speaker 7: can't allow him to do all these things because we've
• 47:59
  Speaker 7: seen what happened is when they round up the voices
• 48:03
  Speaker 7: and the priests and the and the faithful in history,
• 48:07
  Speaker 7: and we know what they do and they don't win
• 48:10
  Speaker 7: in the long run, but they cause a lot of
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: pain in the short run. And that's why it's so
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: important to have the City Elders afoot, as it were.
• 48:19
  Speaker 7: So what's coming up on Friday at common Grounds, Kevin.
• 48:25
  Speaker 20: Yes, sir, Yeah, we're really blessed this week we actually
• 48:28
  Speaker 20: have the founder and the president of the City Elders nationally,
• 48:31
  Speaker 20: it's going to be zoom calling in with us and
• 48:33
  Speaker 20: so just to share, you know, what's going on nationally
• 48:36
  Speaker 20: and going on in Oklahoma that's where the the you know,
• 48:40
  Speaker 20: it was founded. And Jesse Leon Rogers, he's a very dynamic,
• 48:44
  Speaker 20: very powerful speaker, and so we're excited to have him
• 48:47
  Speaker 20: and be with us on Friday morning. And and you know,
• 48:50
  Speaker 20: we we've got just a it's an amazing group. If
• 48:52
  Speaker 20: you're out there and you're you're a Christian, you know,
• 48:56
  Speaker 20: you know, you know, and you want to be involved
• 48:58
  Speaker 20: with a group of people that really want to make
• 49:00
  Speaker 20: change and want to want to get involved, and we
• 49:03
  Speaker 20: you know, the sort of visual concepts you know, is
• 49:08
  Speaker 20: that you know, we we were trying to rebuild the
• 49:10
  Speaker 20: walls and the gates spiritually around our communities that you know,
• 49:13
  Speaker 20: our families are protected, that life is protected, and you know,
• 49:16
  Speaker 20: the families can sort of you know, flourish.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: You know, our businesses thrive. You know, we you know,
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: that's that's what we're supposed to pray. We're supposed to
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: pray according to the Word of God. We're supposed to
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: pray for for God's blessings on our nation. Well.
• 49:26
  Speaker 20: Righteousness exalts the nation. Sin is a approach standing people.
• 49:30
  Speaker 20: The Bible says when the when the righteous rule the
• 49:32
  Speaker 20: people rejoice, and the wicked rule the people more.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: And so it is it's.
• 49:36
  Speaker 20: Very very important, you know, to get people who have
• 49:41
  Speaker 20: a moral compass about them. That's the problem we have
• 49:44
  Speaker 20: in in all of our politics today. There's so many
• 49:47
  Speaker 20: people are are you know, controlling the lever levers of
• 49:51
  Speaker 20: power that don't have a don't really have a moral
• 49:54
  Speaker 20: compass that matches the belief of the majority of Americans,
• 49:57
  Speaker 20: you know.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: And we're a representative government.
• 50:00
  Speaker 20: So you know, if seventy percent of the nation or more,
• 50:03
  Speaker 20: or you know, or maybe just a little less, you know,
• 50:05
  Speaker 20: are Christians, then you know, no, I don't want a theocracy.
• 50:08
  Speaker 20: You know, we don't want you know, a preacher in
• 50:11
  Speaker 20: charge of everything.
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: You know, like you know, like, but you want moral people,
• 50:14
  Speaker 7: I mean, you want people, We want moral people, Yes,
• 50:18
  Speaker 7: Kevin Harris. City Elders dot Com is the main website.
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: Start one.
• 50:23
  Speaker 7: If you don't have a City Elders in your town,
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: start one.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: It ain't hard.
• 50:28
  Speaker 7: They would get together here in our flagship city, great
• 50:30
  Speaker 7: coffee shop called common Grounds, uh uh.
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: And that's all.
• 50:35
  Speaker 7: They get together Friday morning and they pray for a
• 50:38
  Speaker 7: little while and they have, you know that, a prayer meeting,
• 50:43
  Speaker 7: and then they get together and they start talking about
• 50:46
  Speaker 7: putting moral people in these places. Hold the levers of power. Kevin,
• 50:50
  Speaker 7: as you said it, there and a lot of this.
• 50:53
  Speaker 7: Madison baked this into the cake that there wasn't supposed
• 50:56
  Speaker 7: to be so many levers of power in there. I
• 51:02
  Speaker 7: want to thank Mack. He sent us. Several of you
• 51:05
  Speaker 7: are like, please, please don't play that Ted Cruz clip. Ever, again,
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: you've got a situation where athletes are engaged in a
• 51:16
  Speaker 7: fight for the top bidder.
• 51:18
  Speaker 27: Many of them are not remaining with their schools.
• 51:21
  Speaker 7: They're not and in that let's let's break that piece out.
• 51:25
  Speaker 7: First off, that's that's free market if if I and
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: this there's the reason that name image likeness came into being.
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: Because if you're an engineering student at I don't know,
• 51:42
  Speaker 7: small college somewhere and you get a chance somebody says, hey,
• 51:47
  Speaker 7: come to esteemed engineering school Cooper Union and you get
• 51:51
  Speaker 7: a chance your grade, somebody says, you know, I want
• 51:53
  Speaker 7: to give you a chance to go to Cooper Union
• 51:56
  Speaker 7: and work with the greatest engineering professors and the greatest
• 52:00
  Speaker 7: engineering students in the country. You're going to take it
• 52:05
  Speaker 7: because that's going to make you a better engineer. And
• 52:07
  Speaker 7: so again government saying we don't want to do something
• 52:10
  Speaker 7: about their schools.
• 52:11
  Speaker 27: They switch school through the transfer portal year after year
• 52:14
  Speaker 27: after year.
• 52:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's that's called I want to go to a
• 52:16
  Speaker 7: different school. Now, it might not be for reasons you
• 52:20
  Speaker 7: want to support, but it's it's your right to transfer schools.
• 52:25
  Speaker 27: And I think we're at a real risk of saying
• 52:27
  Speaker 27: college athletics permanently damaged.
• 52:33
  Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, we have the Bernie Sanders soundalike coming
• 52:37
  Speaker 7: up in a little while, And I'm sorry. You know,
• 52:39
  Speaker 7: if you're in Texas, you know, like, well, Ted Cruz
• 52:41
  Speaker 7: is better than Bido or Roorke. Well yeah, but if
• 52:44
  Speaker 7: he's going to talk like this, how much different is
• 52:46
  Speaker 7: he than Bido.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: Or roorc.
• 52:51
  Speaker 12: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  Speaker 12: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  Speaker 12: California based chiropractor with more than three years of experience,
• 53:01
  Speaker 12: this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
• 53:05
  Speaker 12: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:09
  Speaker 12: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:12
  Speaker 12: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
• 53:16
  Speaker 12: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
• 53:20
  Speaker 12: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:24
  Speaker 12: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher traction devices are
• 53:27
  Speaker 12: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:30
  Speaker 12: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:33
  Speaker 12: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:36
  Speaker 12: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your
• 53:38
  Speaker 12: home and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful
• 53:41
