- 0:19pet to.
- 0:19Speaker 2: School, joys everything a dreamer, all the treasure needs.
- 0:27Speaker 3: No wonder.
- 0:28Speaker 4: Joe saw smile.
- 0:29Speaker 5: He only is sorry, not sorry, sorry, Internet.
- 0:36Speaker 1: I know you're all being.
- 0:42Speaker 6: Jumps being out of the camera gaze from nearly three
- 0:45days got the boom and bills churning like crazy. These
- 0:50pictures this morning with President Trump leaving the White House
- 0:53for the Sunday round of golf silent, some raging and
- 0:57bizarre theories.
- 0:59Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, we gotta love this on a Labor
- 1:01day morning. Don't poke your radio tickle ish. Hey, good
- 1:06to be back on State College, Pennsylvania. One of the
- 1:09favorite cities, Long Island. So you know back. So we're
- 1:14back Long Island WRCN, Long Island News Radio, State College.
- 1:19We're not back on Beaver one three, I don't think,
- 1:22but it is one of the stations there. Stop it.
- 1:26He was the governor at the turn of the twentieth century.
- 1:30There's a big plaque in front of Beaver Stadium. Don't
- 1:34tell me you're offended. You're like the people at Beaver College.
- 1:38You we can change your name, what do they change
- 1:41it to Philip Morris University or something like that. You know,
- 1:45let's pick something less offensive. But on this Labor Day morning,
- 1:50we are here and we are here to break all
- 1:53these crazy things down before you head to the cookout.
- 1:58And wherever you may be north of the Mason Dixon
- 2:01line where barbecue is a verb, and then south where
- 2:04it's a noun. Wherever, and that's your rule of thumb
- 2:07right there. If you're wondering, am I in the north
- 2:11or am I in the south? Just the simple test
- 2:14is is barbecue a verb or a noun? If it's
- 2:17a verb, you're in the north. I don't care what
- 2:21you could be in Missouri. And if barbecue is a verb,
- 2:26then you're in the north. If you're in Chicago, you
- 2:30probably need a kevlar vest because things have been violent
- 2:36up there. Six dead. More people died this weekend in
- 2:39Chicago than died in Minneapolis in the past week. It's
- 2:47just because of the narrative, because we need to quell
- 2:52the idea that, you know, violence is something even the
- 2:57pope get into this, Even the Pope the Pope of
- 3:01Chicago weighing in on arms. Hey, hey, your holiness, how
- 3:10about the sixth Commandment? How about we start with the
- 3:13sixth commandments. Don't tell me about arms, tell me about
- 3:16the sixth Commandment. You do that for me, your holiness,
- 3:21Holy cow. Well, I mean, you know, pun not intended, well,
- 3:27a little intended there. But those are amongst the things
- 3:30we're going to get into on this Labor Day morning
- 3:33live for you, because well, people try to hide stuff
- 3:36from you on these holiday weekends. So we'll break it
- 3:40all down. We'll tell you the news, and then we'll
- 3:42ask you how the news is impacting you where you
- 3:46are on this talk media network Monday morning. Here are
- 3:50our first things. And I don't know what that was,
- 3:54but that was not one of our first things. President
- 3:57Trump says he will issue an executive or or to
- 4:00require voter ID to vote and minimize mail in voting.
- 4:04According to a post on truth Social voter ID must
- 4:08be part of every single vote, no exceptions, he wrote.
- 4:12In another post, he pointed out six people killed over
- 4:15the weekend twenty four shot in Chicago and JB. Pritzker,
- 4:19the weak and pathetic governor of Illinois. The President wrote,
- 4:23just said that he doesn't need help preventing crime. He'd
- 4:26better straighten it out fast, or we're coming. Federal judge
- 4:32ordered an emergency stopped to a Trump administration plan to
- 4:36send more than six hundred unaccompanied Guatemalan children back to
- 4:40their home country after immigrant advocacy groups sued. In US
- 4:45District Court, Judge Sparkle Sukenin of Biden appointee issued the
- 4:50order shortly after four a m. On Sunday, stating exigent circumstances.
- 4:57Minnesota's laws would have prevented the man from shooting two
- 5:02children and injuring more than a dozen at Annunciation Catholic
- 5:06Church in Minneapolis, should have kept him from buying a firearm.
- 5:10According to House Majority web Tom Emmer, a Republican from Minnesota,
- 5:14said this young man was seriously mentally disabled deranged. Somebody
- 5:19had to know this, he told ABC News this week.
- 5:22Clearly this young man was crying out for help. Why
- 5:25was no one hearing him. Rudolph Giuliani is recovering from
- 5:30a car crash whose vehicle was rear ended in New Hampshire.
- 5:34According to Michael Ragusa, his head of security, and he
- 5:38suffered broken vertebra and an eleven year old boy was
- 5:42fatally shot in Houston after a ding Dong ditch prank
- 5:46on Sunday. Police have not arrested anyone, but they are
- 5:50still investigating. And those are some of our first things
- 5:54on this Labor Day, Monday morning on the Talk Media Network.
- 6:03At Fishburn Military School, there's no hiding here. They don't

- 8:03Speaker 12: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07bioavailable and highly absorbable Curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 10:01Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
- 10:03with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
- 10:05and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
- 10:08at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
- 10:11Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
- 10:14or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
- 10:17secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
- 10:20jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
- 10:22in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
- 10:25by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
- 10:28wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 10:32they also perform life saving work every day.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 14: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
- 10:39They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:41in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
- 10:47in need. So please join me an American Humane and
- 10:50supporting our heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals

- 11:01Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
- 11:05Speaker 10: And now a speech.
- 11:06Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 11:10heart and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 5: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 8: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and.
- 11:15Speaker 15: My brain is saying when it's time to go home.

- 13:17it A.
- 13:17Speaker 5: Lot You know it's done. Friends, We are here live
- 13:33because and quite honestly, could artificial intelligence recreate any of this?
- 13:41That's my own water marking. Is it? Just the leaps
- 13:45of faith and synapse should be enough to prove to
- 13:51the casual observer that this is not computer generated, nor
- 13:55is it a recording of some best of though we
- 13:58will have a couple of clips. As comes back around,
- 14:01Arabella advisors back in the press. As the left it
- 14:06begins to do a remarkable impression of Republican politics, as
- 14:11Democrats begin sniping at other Democrats. Well, and it's the midterms.
- 14:17They all want their gravitas for the midterms. But I
- 14:22want to pick up the Vatican. The Pope of Chicago,
- 14:29Pope Leo the was at the fourteenth fourteenth right, so
- 14:36many Leos who knew all before you and I were born,
- 14:43speaking over the weekend in his services about a pandemic
- 14:49of arms.
- 14:49Speaker 2: Our prayers for the victims of the tragic shooting during
- 14:54a school mass in the American state of Minnesota.
- 14:58Speaker 5: Not to mention the sick that were murdered in the
- 15:01weekend in your hometown, but.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Headlines include in our prayers the countless children killed and
- 15:11injured every day around the world. Let us plead God
- 15:16to stop the pandemic of arms, largege and small, which
- 15:21infects our world.
- 15:23Speaker 5: Our You know how I feel about teetering on the
- 15:31verge of sounding like Sunrise sermonette, And that as a Protestant,
- 15:42I come from the part of the faith that says
- 15:45printing a Bible in my native tongue and allowing me
- 15:48to read it for myself is important. And all these
- 15:55things could be and are frequently viewed as perversions and
- 15:59in versions, all detracting from the original Ten Commandments brought
- 16:04down by Moses to the Israelites that had been freed
- 16:08from slavery. But we're already starting to say, yeah, but
- 16:11I'm hungry. I think the Egyptians will take us back
- 16:20so understanding that all of those faiths still contain the
- 16:25Ten Commandments, whether it's the Only Testament or the Old Testament.
- 16:34And this is almost as controversial as you know, whether
- 16:37you should have a Bible written in your own tongue
- 16:41and be able to read it yourself or not. And
- 16:45I will get emails about Martin Luther, and I guarantee
- 16:49before today's done, there will be people looking to argue
- 16:52the point about Martin Luther and whether you should be
- 16:57able to read the Bible to yourself or whether any
- 17:00of us are smart enough to understand it, and therefore
- 17:02we need people like the Pondiff to explain it to us,
- 17:08whether the rabbi needs to tell us what scripture means.
- 17:14Although the Yeshivas are fascinating when the young and the
- 17:17old and they debate and they argue, it's fun to watch.
- 17:25But one of the controversial things I point to is
- 17:28in the original telling, the sixth Commandment says thou shalt
- 17:32not murder. Now more modern printings say thou shalt not kill. Unfortunately,
- 17:43as somebody who plays with his words frequently, there's a
- 17:49profound difference between murder and kill. Linguistically, kill implies anything.
- 17:58Murder implies in old blood, without self defense or any
- 18:03of the other mitigating circumstances that might say, hey, it's
- 18:07you know, maybe me or him, and so it's with
- 18:15that I feel again dragged like there's so many people
- 18:20in my world, Joe Veroxa, who preaches the Gospel to
- 18:24prisoners in the jails of my hometown, or John Quesenberry,
- 18:31who holds tent revival services in the middle of the
- 18:35bluest most atheistic town, and well certainly the mid Atlantic,
- 18:42if not the entire Eastern seaboard. And those are just
- 18:52a couple of names I could pull out here that
- 18:56are are the biblical leaders of our community, the ones
- 19:04who work in the homeless communities and try to preach
- 19:07the Gospel through the helping hand of the Salvation Army.
- 19:12As we head into September and we start to think
- 19:15about the Red Kettle's showing back up, I found it interesting.
- 19:21I actually spend a little bit of time over this
- 19:23weekend apropos of nothing, just a quick tangent with a
- 19:26pin in it. I had no idea how many billions
- 19:30of dollars the Dallas Cowboys raised for the Salvation Army.
- 19:34That may not change your opinion of Jerry Jones or
- 19:37the Dallas Cowboys or not, but I had no idea,
- 19:40no idea. Mark DeLoach, great minister at local Baptist church.
- 19:50All of these folks are better suited to weigh in
- 19:53on the Gospel and whether or not Pope Leo is pandering,
- 20:00as too often are religious leaders, do they pander to
- 20:04the populars. This is how you wind up with churches
- 20:07that espouse biblical teachings, and there's Leviticus, and yet there's
- 20:16a rainbow flag outside the church and you can say welcome,
- 20:22Let's try to help you through whatever it might be.
- 20:25But you know, do you have a special reprinting of
- 20:29the Bible? Do you have a catechism? Can we have
- 20:32Leviticus lifted out? But more importantly, while the pope gets
- 20:40as populism on and more people are killed in his
- 20:45hometown in a day than we're killed at the horrific
- 20:49attack on the Catholic school in Minneapolis.
- 20:54Speaker 2: Our prayers for the victims of the tragic shooting during
- 20:59a schools in the American state of Minnesota, we include
- 21:05in our prayers the countless children killed and injured every
- 21:09day around the world. Let us plead God to stop
- 21:14the pandemic of arms large and small which infects our world.
- 21:20Speaker 5: And again I would like to remind His Holiness that
- 21:23when the law was written thou shalt not murder. There
- 21:32wasn't a hug and release program. If you murdered, you
- 21:37went to hell, eternal damnation of your soul. And there
- 21:44were no firearms. It was one thousand plus years removed
- 21:48from the invention of black powder, explosives, or the rifling
- 21:56of a tube to create arms.
- 22:01Speaker 19: Business owners, are you paying high phone bills for old

- 28:15Joe Thomas, all.
- 28:18Speaker 9: Across America talk radio and the voices of freedom.
- 28:23Speaker 13: Don't stop talking, don't stop sharing, don't stop laughing, don't
- 28:29stop caring.
- 28:31Speaker 21: As long as you've got.
- 28:33Speaker 5: A voice, don't have us. It's nice to think that
- 28:36Gunhill Roade the Band is being heard. Gunhill rode the
- 28:41streets w G H our friends there in Greenwich, and
- 28:51moment profound or at least profund, depending on how far
- 28:55you want to take it. Four three, four, eight eight
- 28:58two four to two won seven things on all the
- 29:01folks who pick us up. Whether part of the weekend lineup,
- 29:06we have a Saturday morning show, the show dedicated to
- 29:10the premise the eleventh commandment, thou shalt not get away
- 29:13with it. Oh, come on, I've seen the readership. More
- 29:18than a fair share of you have read the Remo
- 29:20Williams books. In any event, whether it's the Saturday crowd
- 29:26that's getting a bonus play today because it's a holiday
- 29:30or not, I appreciate you being along for the ride,
- 29:33and we get up and we do these things. It's
- 29:36not because I have something against three day weekends. But
- 29:43you know, when you own the bakery, you got to
- 29:45get up and bake the scones, you know. But the
- 29:50other part of it is, and this is part and
- 29:53parcel of the seventies eighties and the boom of retail.
- 29:59I want over time as the percentage of population that
- 30:05had to work on the three day weekends because they
- 30:08were selling things to the percentage of population that was
- 30:11not working started to get over that tipping point to
- 30:18where one is larger than the other. And so bless
- 30:23you for having to hustle and saying, you know what,
- 30:27I'm going to celebrate Labor Day by laboring and appreciate that.
- 30:33It's not that the concept of three day weekends is
- 30:36flawed in and of itself. It's an idea that was
- 30:40born of the concept of taking time to reflect. It
- 30:44was the reason we were told in that Ten Commandments
- 30:48I was just referring to to keep the Sabbath day holy.
- 30:54Was that day to honor creation and God and to
- 31:01sit and be reflective and not feel like you had
- 31:04to be and ow and do. And it was important
- 31:10to that pursuit that you had time to think, that
- 31:18you had to had time to plan and time to
- 31:23organize yourself for the next step. And we took, you know,
- 31:27the idea of that and expanded and say, well, what
- 31:31if we had these days to celebrate the various things,
- 31:36whether it's Christopher Columbus's there you go again, Joe, you know,
- 31:43we don't celebrate him anymore, colonialism hashtag colonialism, and so
- 31:59we have these three day weekends that to my sitting
- 32:03in my arbitrage actually make us forget what it was
- 32:09we were celebrating, and there are some that are clinging
- 32:14to it more ardently than others. Memorial Day on the
- 32:17other end of summer, Veterans Day coming up. Those holidays
- 32:25seem to be holding on to the realities of and
- 32:32then Independence Day on July fourth or September eleventh. Those
- 32:37days are set by date Christmas Day, New Year's Day.
- 32:41These days don't get to move around and have a
- 32:43three day we can, oh dough, don't you ask some
- 32:47of these folks that don't think, well, maybe we should
- 32:49have our Winter Solstice eccentric holiday on the third Monday
- 32:56of December. Wouldn't that be easier for labor? There, Bob,
- 33:00we don't even laugh. I hear you laughing. Oh what
- 33:06ridiculous thought. I will bet to you if you have
- 33:09ten leftists in your friend group, or you know, ten
- 33:15members of government. There has been a discussion at some
- 33:18point of how it wouldn't it be easier just to
- 33:21have the third Monday of December be winter Fest or
- 33:25some such ridiculousness. And we forget whether it's Martin Luther
- 33:31King Junior or the mac daddy of all President's Day?
- 33:39Was it so wrong to celebrate Abraham Lincoln and George
- 33:43Washington separately and individually, and forget about James Buchanan. God,
- 33:49you walk the streets of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, you barely know
- 33:52you're walking past James Buchanan's home. For Heaven's sake, I
- 33:55live in Stanton, Virginia. I own a radio station five
- 33:59blocks away from the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Library. The man
- 34:02lived there for a year. Granted it was the first
- 34:06year of his life. But Stanton can barely lay claim
- 34:12to Woodrow Wilson. Yet it is the celebration of all
- 34:15celebrations of Woody, the progressive leader, the technocrat. Poohbah, Lancaster,
- 34:24You walked past James Buchanan's home, and there's a little
- 34:27science saying, yeah, pay no attention, but this is where
- 34:29James Buchannan lived. Never mind, I know Civil War, he
- 34:33was the president fiddled while the country burned headlong into
- 34:40the Civil War. So I mean it's fair, But I
- 34:43mean is that just part and parcel of us trying
- 34:46to forget that the Civil War ever took place? But
- 34:51do you want to celebrate him and George Washington. At
- 34:54the same time, James Buchanan's just as much a president
- 35:00it is Abraham Lincoln. So well, let's forget about Lincoln's
- 35:02birthday and let's just have a President's day. You know
- 35:07that includes Donald Trump twice? Now, Oh, I see your
- 35:11eye twitching, Inspector Dreyfus, Yeah, I got you with that one.
- 35:17Didn't see it coming. Should have heard it thundering up
- 35:21the road behind you. But this is so we are.
- 35:24We generally work on these three day weekends on the
- 35:31Monday because there's news. I mean, how else would we
- 35:34be breaking down by Tuesday? President Trump alone will have
- 35:37generated enough conversation points to have given us no reason
- 35:42or no place to talk about Pope Leo's pandemic of
- 35:47arms shot at the United States, and our Bill of Rights,
- 35:55which says God gave us the right to keep in
- 35:59bear arms. That is a God given right. Your holiness,
- 36:05are you? Are you calling on God to take that
- 36:08right away from us? Wonder what God would say to
- 36:13such a request. I mean, you are you are His
- 36:17voice on earth? Did He come to you in the
- 36:21in your in your dorm room that you're now sharing
- 36:23with four other people? Say Leo, this is God stop.
- 36:35First off, I'm a Cubs fan anyway. Four three four
- 36:41eight eight two four two one seven. As you labor
- 36:44on this Labor day, we will break down the news
- 36:47stories for you, including that crazy Trump is dead stuff
- 36:51that was going on over the weekend. But I want
- 36:54to get into ilhan Omar battling it out with with
- 36:58one of my favorites, seb Gorka, who you know, if
- 37:03you want to ask. I've had people say whatever happened
- 37:05to Sebastian Gorka. I mean he left his radio show
- 37:09and nobody heard from him again. He's like he disappeared
- 37:12into the White House, said maybe he's working. Deputy Assistant
- 37:18and Senior Director of counter Terrorism was on State of
- 37:22the Union with il han Omar. Well, you knew she'd
- 37:27be out there if Tom Emmer's out there, and at
- 37:33least finally they're saying the disquieting part out loud, that
- 37:40Bobby the murderer of Minneapolis and if you're joining us.
- 37:46Generally there's a policy on the show not to mention
- 37:49these people's names because they just want notoriety. But I
- 37:52think calling him Bobby the murderer of Minneapolis is just fine,
- 37:57we'll get into that coming up.

- 44:12Speaker 1: The first thing today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk
- 44:16Media Network sell natural and free of artificial intelligence.
- 44:20Speaker 5: So this is interesting. So I actually happened to see
- 44:25some of the videos of Ilhan Omar on CNN's State
- 44:30of the Union program. Fascinating fun fact. And I'm sure
- 44:37they'll just claim intellectual property or whatnot, but all the
- 44:41videos of her on CNN's Face the or State of
- 44:47the Union have been removed from YouTube. Can't imagine why
- 44:54did she think she didn't do well? Did she call
- 44:57CNN and say get those damn things off of there?
- 45:00Or could it have been her opening the door to
- 45:03this now? To be fair, I think Emmer and Gorko
- 45:06were wrong about leaning on the trans part of this,
- 45:10because there's a bigger flag that. As I said on
- 45:15Friday and again on Saturday, we're going to say the
- 45:17disquiet in part out loud Omar's quote from the program.
- 45:24These people are all over the place because they want
- 45:27to deflect from the reality. Okay, Congressoman Omar, squat up.
- 45:38Let's not deflect from the reality. Let's talk about what
- 45:42he said in his manifesto about Hamas and all the
- 45:47groups that he wanted to kill except for people who
- 45:50supported Hamas. You want to talk about reality, don't open
- 45:56the door, Squatty, squid word, I'll I'll take you out
- 46:02behind the krabby Patty and we'll have at it if
- 46:05you want. And maybe that's why they've taken the videos
- 46:08of her saying that down off of the interwebs. Matt's
- 46:12on the line with us at four three four eight
- 46:14eight two four two one seven under the heading proving
- 46:17that you know not everyone is sleeping in on a
- 46:20three day weekend. Good morning, Matt, how are you doing?
- 46:24Speaker 21: Own up?
- 46:24Speaker 5: Too bad?
- 46:25Speaker 9: Joe?
- 46:26Speaker 21: I did want to point out that for years I
- 46:31worked as a farmer, which is a seven day a
- 46:35week fifty two week a year job to the point
- 46:40where it isn't even really a job. It's a lifestyle. Sure,
- 46:46But when you're doing that kind of work, you never
- 46:48think in terms of, hey, this is a lifestyle.
- 46:52Speaker 5: You just have to get up and do it, because
- 46:54you're so far into it you don't have time to
- 46:56think about that kind of stuff.
- 46:58Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah, you're You are the fish that is not
- 47:01aware he is in water. But and and later on,
- 47:08I was working for newspapers, and the thing with when
- 47:14you're working for a daily newspaper, there's that word daily,
- 47:21somebody's somebody's picking it up. Yeah, and and they expect
- 47:25it to be there on Saturday and Sunday and Monday,
- 47:29which means they expect somebody to be working Friday, Saturday
- 47:33and Sunday.
- 47:34Speaker 5: So they can pick that paper up the next day,
- 47:36you know. And here's an interesting question for you in
- 47:40the world of internet delivered news. And I was talking
- 47:43to a young lady who goes to Hillsdale College and
- 47:45she's studying journalism, to which I told her she was
- 47:48making a grievous mistake. And after after she finished chuckling,
- 47:54I said, no, no, no, I said, study journalism you know,
- 47:57as as a second major, or as a minor, or
- 48:00whatever you want to. I said, but you've got to
- 48:02spend your last year at Hillsdale getting a marketing you know,
- 48:05getting marketing classes at least. And she said why, I said,
- 48:09because the news world is substacks and blogs that you
- 48:16have to fund yourself, which means, you know, and it's
- 48:19a lot easier you get a couple of sponsors and
- 48:22you make sure they're sponsors. You're not going to have
- 48:24to write bad stories about it at some point. And
- 48:28you get a couple of sponsors and you can survive
- 48:31and pay your bills as a journalist. I think it's
- 48:33a brave new world. But it's also that world that,
- 48:37unlike the newspaper, which was like there's a deadline at
- 48:40five pm and we've got to go to print, you
- 48:45could get a story at two in the morning on
- 48:47a Saturday and have it out there first thing in
- 48:50the morning. And people on the internet, the consumers of
- 48:53news are expecting that. They're expecting that if I follow
- 48:57you on substack, that I'm going to get a tweet
- 49:00that says you've just posted some new story. Uh, and
- 49:03I can open it up and read it well.
- 49:06Speaker 21: And this this kind of loops back to some of
- 49:10what you were talking about before. I mean, yes, in
- 49:13the internet world we live by mac McDonald's dictum of
- 49:20first and wrong is still first. But you were you
- 49:25were talking before about the holidays as a rest time
- 49:35when we were farming. When we were farming, that was winter, and.
- 49:40Speaker 5: Even then you had to do stuff as you still
- 49:43have to do stuff as a farmer in winter to
- 49:45prepare the soil for the summer in the spring.
- 49:50Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 49:50Speaker 21: But but but winter, winter is I mean, when you're farming,
- 49:55you're working with nature, and winter is a time of dormancy,
- 50:01and so you have, yes, you have the daily things
- 50:04that you have to do, but you're just letting nature
- 50:08take care of nature. But even even to get back
- 50:12to the bit about the news cycles, even with a
- 50:17daily newspaper, I mean, we had to get we had
- 50:21a press deadline of midnight and if there was some
- 50:25crisis going on weekend, touch it all the way to
- 50:29twelve thirty. But then those presses were rolling, the paper
- 50:36was out, it was in the hands of the delivery people.
- 50:40Speaker 5: And you could stop.
- 50:43Speaker 21: Yep, you could stop, and you could think because you
- 50:46had twenty four hours before you had to put out
- 50:50another one.
- 50:52Speaker 5: Sure, and you weren't.
- 50:54Speaker 21: You weren't dealing with this constant our, our minute by
- 51:02minute addiction to the news cycle where oh this this
- 51:07thing happened over there, won't fine, We've got time to
- 51:11sit down and think about it. And you could write
- 51:14out a news story and you could sit there at
- 51:17your typewriter and you could read it over and you
- 51:21could think, okay, does.
- 51:22Speaker 5: This even make sense?
- 51:25Speaker 21: What is there here that is still nagging at me?
- 51:29And you you don't have to just oh, okay, it's written,
- 51:32put it out on the web.
- 51:34Speaker 5: Well, but there is time. See I believe you know,
- 51:36I write in the internet news world now for the
- 51:39daily signal, and aside from the shameless plug, you know,
- 51:44I have deadlines. My editor needs my stories in by
