  Speaker 3: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Tunk
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Media Network by Joe.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Tellas, Welcome to a Ted Steve the day we celebrate
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the gifts God has bestowed upon you and your application
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: of those gifts to a grateful constituency who reward you justly.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: And then you don't have to worry about the cancel culture,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the snowflakes that may swirl unless you're up by the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: other end of the mumfordtee firefly suck it from the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: sky down link antenna that we use here to distribute
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: this to you, because they're telling me it was seventy
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: degrees in Colorado, seventy degrees in Denver anyway, and you know,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: twenty something in central Virginia. And this is the stuff
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: that the Greta Thunberg's of the world will say, well,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: this proves, oh it doesn't. This proves it's warm right
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: now in the high desert. And of course if my
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: wife finds out about this, and she will live for
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: years in Bolder, Colorado. As a matter of fact, we
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: honeymooned in Bolder and survived, and it wouild every time
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: it's single digits in the morning. She looks at me
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and she says, and we moved south wy You know,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: winter is winter. You got to have four seasons. You
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: can't go someplace that only has one, maybe maybe two
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: if you're lucky. Anyway, so much going on this morning.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: We've discovered that the acronym for make America Affordable Again
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: is so every time you hear a member of the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party talking about making America affordable again, just here,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: because it's my contention, that's what they believe you to be.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Sheeps for the usage, whether it's slaughter or grass clipping
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: or whatever it might be. Also, the president's blockading Venezuela
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to keep these ghost tankers in port from the few
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: remaining oil refineries that exist because when Hugo Chavez fifteen
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: years ago nationalized the oil industry, their production ability is
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: very low compared to what it was before Chavez came along,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: because they have ruined their industry under nationalization. Just you know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a couple of quick points of order as we gather
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it up, and these are the first things for this morning.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention adopted its
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Advisor's recommendations allowing parents, in consultation with healthcare providers to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: decide whither infants born to hepatitis B negative mothers should
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: be forced to get the vaccine, ending the long standing
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: policy that all US newborns receive it regardless. For those
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: infants not receiving the birth dose, the agency recommends the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: initial dose be administered no earlier than two months of age.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I guess that's enough time for them to become an
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: intravenous drug user. President Donald Trump ordered a total blockade
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: of oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela, declaring Nicholas Maduro's
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: regime a foreign terrorist organization because of using stolen US
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: assets to finance rorism, trafficking, and other criminal activities, pointing
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to his now new listing of fentanyl as a weapon
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: of mass destruction. The illegitimate Maduro regime is using oil
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: from these stolen oil fields to finance themselves drug terrorism,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: human trafficking, murder, and kidnapping, he continued, For the theft
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: of our assets and many other reasons. The Venezuelan regime
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: has been designated a foreign terrorist organization. Homicide detectives investigating
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: after a forty seven year old professor at Massachusetts Institute
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: of Technology, Nuno Loriero, was found shot to death in
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: his home in Brookline. The administration will be on full
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: display as President Trump holds an address to the nation today.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: There are polls suggesting that voters are not happy with
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: his handling of the economy, at least after after three
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: or four weeks of candidates running on what has Trump
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: done to make things more affordable for you? They don't
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: hold those rallies, by the way at gas stations. A
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: federal judge in Washington said that he is not inclined
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to issue a temporary stay on the administration's work on
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the new White House ballroom while the hearing continues into
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a lawsuit that alleges the project abuses presidential power, has
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: brought before Judge Richard Leon in US District Court by

  Speaker 1: you go this one. Oh okay, this this from Andy.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Joel Salatin is one of my favorite people. Doctor Brad
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and doctor Malone are international heroes. We were talking about
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: a dinner I went to last night with doctor Robert
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Malone in which never did the subject of COVID come
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: up or vaccines. It was all about making you healthy
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: so you don't need them. And it's interesting. When I
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: was a dear friend of mine went to see it
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: get a check up. She was starting a business, I
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: guess in the insurance, needed to check up and the
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: doctor said to her said, okay, ma'am, please list the
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: medications that you're on and she said, well, I'm not
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: on any and he said, well, we're going to have
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: to fix that. And one of my closest friends who
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: were going to Trans Siberian Orchestra to see Trans Siberian
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Orchestra tomorrow in New York, she was told by a
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: physician she was given a pain medication. No, it was
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: a steroid she was given and she said, I don't
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: want to take steroids, and he said, well, listen, just
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: fill this prescription and you don't have to take them.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: This is what's passing as medical advice. Now we're filling
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: out scripts. And then people say, well, you know, why
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: are we so angry at the pharmaceutical companies? And here's why.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: This is the game of So when the Abigail span
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Burghers of the world tell you they're going to make
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: life in your state more affordable again, when Gavin Newsom says, please,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: they're around, and I will tell you how we're going
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: to America affordable again. They're going to do it by
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: paying your bills for you. What is that called? What's
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: that called when somebody at very least it's a sugar daddy,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: if not pimp, and you might not have to perform
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the same kind of business that colloquially gets associated with
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: the word pimp. But these are the same people who
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: wanted to fight against the freeing of the slaves. Was
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: it this week end of last week when I pointed
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: out that they're wrong when they claim we're on track
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: for a second American revolution? It was Oh, it was
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the Indiana state senator that said it. Right after they
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the Republicans joined with the Democrats to stop the redistricting,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: which again is another one of those Brier patches that
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I'm probably not one hundred percent aligned with you on.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I want to make our districts constitutional again. I want
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to eliminate the Permanent Reapportionment Act of nineteen twenty nine,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: and I'm not going to didolve it into them.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: You can google Permanent Reapportionment Act of nineteen twenty nine.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: But I said that we aren't fighting a new revolution
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: in civil war. We're still fighting the last one. It's
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: the same people with the same agenda, just a slightly different,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: maybe expanded crowd of people that they want on the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: plantation picking their cotton. It's the same political party. It's
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the same attitude towards your intellectual pursuits and your intellectual capability.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: It's the same people that wanted Lincoln shot, that wanted
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Trump shot. It's the same political party. The kid in Butler,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Pennsylvania is no different than John Wilkes Booth because it's
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: still that civil war. If you live in a forested
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: area like I, do you know that when the winds blow,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: or if you're in southern California and the Santa Anas
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: start blowing. Just last year, wildfires in southern California are
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: a great example. They were lit on New Year's Eve
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: and then they flared up two months later almost because
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the embers had not completely gone out, so when the
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: winds whipped up, the fire flared up all over again.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: And that's what's happened with our civil war. And it
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: didn't begin in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen with the movement
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: to get rid of Civil War memorials. It just gained
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: a loud voice with reparationists like Ibram Kenny. And these
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: are the people who will take an Ibram Kenny and like, oh,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: what was I forget? Samuel L. Jackson's amazing character in
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Django Unchained just does a beautiful job. Might as well
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: be portraying Ibram Kendy the house insert derogatory term for
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: a black person who serves the white man's agenda. And
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: these are the folks who are out there trying to
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: push you back onto the plantation because we're still fighting
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: that civil war, the civil war of you couldn't possibly
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: take care of yourselves, you're just not intellectually capable of it.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: So it's up to us to pay your bills for you,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: provided that you do the things for us and I
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: know it's not something anyone else says. And if you
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: listen to this program for five ten minutes a day,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: you know that I'm not rolling off of some talking
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: points that you know, some big corporate media giant with
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: a bunch of conservative hawk show hosts has said, here's
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: what they are, Here's what the chairman of the network
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: wants you to say. I was on the phone with

  Speaker 1: civil war, were you getting? Joe? I can be an
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: appomatics in an hour. I could broadcast live from the
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: place where they signed the treaty ending the last civil war,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: but they didn't put out all the embers, and it
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: has reignited. That's the civil war you're sensing, not a
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: new one. This isn't anything different than you know, partying
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: like it's eighteen sixty five all over again. And Joe
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Biden is playing the role of James Buchanan in this
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: particular play.

  Speaker 20: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
• 23:14
  Speaker 20: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:16
  Speaker 20: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
• 23:20
  Speaker 20: That's what you should use, but there are exceptions to
• 23:23
  Speaker 20: the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
• 23:26
  Speaker 20: premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
• 23:29
  Speaker 20: is not just due to the octane rating. There are
• 23:31
  Speaker 20: better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too,
• 23:35
  Speaker 20: the vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
• 23:38
  Speaker 20: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
• 23:41
  Speaker 20: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
• 23:44
  Speaker 20: your fuel choices around, say every third tank full, you
• 23:47
  Speaker 20: may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
• 23:50
  Speaker 20: are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.
• 23:53

• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch. And nitric
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.

• 28:38
  Speaker 1: You know, springtime is the worst when the pine trees
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: are blowing off all the green dust. And I just
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I come on, this is what I found.
• 28:49
  Speaker 14: Yeah, people in Florida handle pollen with a shovel.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: You know. That's why they sell snowshovels down there.
• 28:56
  Speaker 14: It loves, Yeah, they You know. I wanted to give
• 29:00
  Speaker 14: you some numbers yesterday and I forgot, so I'm gonna
• 29:02
  Speaker 14: give him today. This is for no rhyme or reason,
• 29:05
  Speaker 14: but I just thought they're pretty good numbers because people
• 29:07
  Speaker 14: talk about you know, if you want to talk, you know,
• 29:09
  Speaker 14: discuss education with your kids today, you might want to
• 29:13
  Speaker 14: write some of these down, or at least remember thirty
• 29:16
  Speaker 14: three college quarterbacks have over one million dollar evaluation this year. Okay,
• 29:22
  Speaker 14: as far as noil. Last year it was sixteen. Okay,
• 29:24
  Speaker 14: so things look bright. Ten five star recruits went undrafted
• 29:28
  Speaker 14: in twenty twenty four. Eleven five star recruits went undrafted
• 29:32
  Speaker 14: this year. One point six percent of college players go
• 29:36
  Speaker 14: to the NFL. The average career in the NFL is
• 29:40
  Speaker 14: three point three years, shoe be's last on average four
• 29:44
  Speaker 14: and a half. The average age of retirement in the
• 29:47
  Speaker 14: NFL twenty seven years old.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: All right man.
• 29:50
  Speaker 14: Sixteen percent of NFL players declare bankruptcy within twelve years

  Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal.
• 29:58
  Speaker 14: And you know so if you if your son is,
• 30:02
  Speaker 14: you know, it's getting ready to go. Yes, mister Thomas
• 30:04
  Speaker 14: from Stanton.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Is that why the acronym NFL actually stands for not
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: for long?
• 30:11
  Speaker 24: Not for long?
• 30:11
  Speaker 14: That's exactly right. Jerry what's his name? Uh, the guy
• 30:16
  Speaker 14: who coached the Oilers?
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, Jerry Glanville. That's right, Jerry Gale.
• 30:20
  Speaker 24: Thank you?
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Not for what his name?
• 30:22
  Speaker 19: Yeah?
• 30:22
  Speaker 16: All right.
• 30:23
  Speaker 14: So regarding the CFP, the conference commissioners have not given
• 30:27
  Speaker 14: up hope on expanding for next year. With January twenty
• 30:30
  Speaker 14: third is the deadline now to form the four they've
• 30:33
  Speaker 14: got to inform the four letters.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: Oh oh oh, I.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Have the answer. Just give Notre Dame a permanent slot
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: that nobody will complain on that it is about it right? Yeah?
• 30:42
  Speaker 24: Right?
• 30:43
  Speaker 14: Well, January eighteenth meeting of Miami setting up as a
• 30:46
  Speaker 14: last stand of sorts. The options are to stay with twelve,
• 30:49
  Speaker 14: but I think there's gonna be a big push for sixteen. Now,
• 30:53
  Speaker 14: if you're Tony Fetiti with a big ten, you want
• 30:56
  Speaker 14: twenty four, which is absolutely ridiculous. Somebody had a flash
• 31:00
  Speaker 14: fact that was talking about the old BCS.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: And to give you a little piece of.
• 31:05
  Speaker 14: History, one of my mentors, the guy who hired me
• 31:08
  Speaker 14: in nineteen eighty, a guy who I loved forever, who
• 31:12
  Speaker 14: passed away a couple of years ago, Gene Corrigan, who
• 31:15
  Speaker 14: was the AD at Virginia. He was the AD at
• 31:20
  Speaker 14: Notre Dame and then became the ACC commissioner. He was
• 31:23
  Speaker 14: the one that came up with the BCS with a
• 31:25
  Speaker 14: guy named Tom Michel who was at Duke. And yes,
• 31:28
  Speaker 14: just like Lincoln's address, they drew it up on a
• 31:31
  Speaker 14: cocktail napkin at dinner. So if you were talking BCS
• 31:36
  Speaker 14: this year Indiana versus Texas, Tech, Ohio, State, Georgia.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: We probably live with that, you know, that would be good.
• 31:43
  Speaker 14: But the plan now and the talk is one of
• 31:47
  Speaker 14: the mini plans, and everybody you know is five plus
• 31:50
  Speaker 14: eleven sixteen teams. It's essentially the current format with four
• 31:55
  Speaker 14: additional at large teams. So anyway, enough about the CFP,
• 31:58
  Speaker 14: we'll get into more about OK. I'm in Alabama coming
• 32:01
  Speaker 14: to Friday, and then we'll have the three games on Saturday,
• 32:03
  Speaker 14: as far as the CFP. Now the NBA Cup, which
• 32:07
  Speaker 14: I hyped a little bit because I thought the matchup
• 32:10
  Speaker 14: was really really good and all the things that go
• 32:11
  Speaker 14: into the third NBA Cup. But guys like Charles Barkley
• 32:16
  Speaker 14: are not happy with the NBA Cup of the tournament
• 32:19
  Speaker 14: that goes to Vegas with painted floors. The championship game
• 32:23
  Speaker 14: won by the Knicks last night does not count in
• 32:25
  Speaker 14: the standings, but all the Knixt players total five hundred
• 32:29
  Speaker 14: and thirty thousand in their take. I bet they had
• 32:32
  Speaker 14: had some great times at the tables last night.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Charles Barkley not happy.
• 32:38
  Speaker 24: Number one. I think the Cup thing is somewhat embarrassing.
• 32:42
  Speaker 24: I'm disappointed in my players, number one. God blessed them
• 32:46
  Speaker 24: for making money. Okay, I'm disappointed that we have to
• 32:50
  Speaker 24: make an end season tournament to make these guys more
• 32:54
  Speaker 24: money so they won't do load management. To have to
• 32:58
  Speaker 24: pay these guys the money and make them play a
• 33:02
  Speaker 24: game they usual to play basketball and they're well compensated
• 33:05
  Speaker 24: to play basketball. Come on, man, that's that that's a
• 33:09
  Speaker 24: little bit ridiculous.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: I love a come on man, I love a com man.
• 33:14
  Speaker 14: That's why. That's why Charles Barkley is Charles Barkley, and
• 33:17
  Speaker 14: that's why we love him.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Chief TP.
• 33:20
  Speaker 14: Yeah, with with Adam Silver, the commissioner who holds a
• 33:24
  Speaker 14: press conference in Vegas's guess what we're looking at expansion.
• 33:28
  Speaker 14: We've got to decide if eleven million or eleven billion,
• 33:32
  Speaker 14: whatever it is, is going to be divided in revenues
• 33:35
  Speaker 14: by two more teams.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Got it?
• 33:36
  Speaker 14: Looking at Vegas and a return to Seattle.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: I've got it. Mac would take both stories, combine them.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: No more, no more postseason college football championship. Just do
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: something in the middle of the season, like in October.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Everyone go out to Vegas play something, Las play the tournament,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: and then then by New Year's Day they're all home
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: with their families. There you go and have to laugh
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: and funny, it's funny you say that.
• 34:01
  Speaker 14: And I'm going to take a little diversion from that
• 34:03
  Speaker 14: because I had to laugh yesterday and just shows how
• 34:06
  Speaker 14: old I'm getting. Some young kid who's doing a video
• 34:09
  Speaker 14: blog and there's are millions of them on Instagram. And
• 34:12
  Speaker 14: the kid said, you know what we ought to do.
• 34:14
  Speaker 14: We had to hold all the bowl games in August,
• 34:16
  Speaker 14: and I had to chuckle. Terry Holland told me that.
• 34:21
  Speaker 14: I mean probably in nineteen, I don't know, ninety six,
• 34:25
  Speaker 14: ninety seven. Terry Holland said, you know what we ought
• 34:28
  Speaker 14: to do. And I think we were in Hawaii because
• 34:30
  Speaker 14: Terry and it might have been the ninety eight when
• 34:33
  Speaker 14: Terry was trying to put together who's going to coach
• 34:35
  Speaker 14: when when he hired out grow and he was going
• 34:36
  Speaker 14: to coach he was going to hire at that time
• 34:39
  Speaker 14: Jerry Sandusky and Jim Cole co head coaches. Jim Caldwell
• 34:43
  Speaker 14: was at Wake Forest ended up in the NFL, and
• 34:46
  Speaker 14: of course Jerry Sandusky, we know, you know he's playing,
• 34:50
  Speaker 14: you know, he's coaching the longest yard team. So with
• 34:53
  Speaker 14: that being said, but Terry Holland said, you know what
• 34:56
  Speaker 14: we had to do, and Terry was brilliant at this.
• 35:00
  Speaker 14: We ought to hold every bowl game in August. People
• 35:02
  Speaker 14: who are on vacation, people that are excited, teams are
• 35:04
  Speaker 14: oh and oh, it's not a six and sixteen that
• 35:07
  Speaker 14: nobody wants.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: To see again.
• 35:08
  Speaker 14: You know December with Christmas and everybody track. You know,
• 35:12
  Speaker 14: let's we can still hold the four like the four
• 35:14
  Speaker 14: or five major bowls, you know, Sugar Rose Cotton whatever,
• 35:19
  Speaker 14: hold those going let's hold those in December. But as
• 35:22
  Speaker 14: far as the gasparilla and the staff, DNA and the
• 35:26
  Speaker 14: cure and the you.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Know, which were all either last night or tonight, he goes,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: let's the boker at top.
• 35:33
  Speaker 14: Let's have those in August and all these great matchups
• 35:37
  Speaker 14: because your team, so your bonanza in August from like
• 35:40
  Speaker 14: the middle of August and would be huge, I would
• 35:43
  Speaker 14: think to kick.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Off the season.
• 35:45
  Speaker 14: And it's like, but anyway, naturally extremity that doesn't, you know,
• 35:49
  Speaker 14: grow legs, and that's not going.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: To be I like the idea, you know, I think,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, why do you have to have
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: the sugar bowl at New Year's Day? I mean, I
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: get it. We're not doing anything. We're all kind of
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: feeling our oats on New Year's Day anyway, or I
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: guess you know some of us are. Yeah, so you know,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: we do something to show and find the backside. With
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: either hand, let's say thank you for that visual, Mac.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I remember, Joe, not.
• 36:14
  Speaker 14: That I hate to sit here and go I'm older
• 36:17
  Speaker 14: than dirt, but remember what New Year's Day was. First
• 36:21
  Speaker 14: of all, my dad always played New Year's Eve. He
• 36:23
  Speaker 14: was a Moonlight musician. So he was out of bed
• 36:25
  Speaker 14: like eleven thirty, twelve o'clock, just the time of the
• 36:28
  Speaker 14: Rose Parade because he loved, loved, loved the Rose Bowl Parade.
• 36:32
  Speaker 14: And then but to have the you know, the sugar
• 36:35
  Speaker 14: and the cotton and the you know, and then the
• 36:38
  Speaker 14: Rose Ball at four o'clock in the afternoon and the
• 36:40
  Speaker 14: orange bullet night and I mean it was that was
• 36:44
  Speaker 14: and that meant Nebraska and Miami or you know, that's
• 36:48
  Speaker 14: that's what I wish we could, you know, go back
• 36:50
  Speaker 14: to at least and you know.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Do everything in New Year's Day.
• 36:53
  Speaker 14: And granted the cfp's involved, and I know, you know,
• 36:56
  Speaker 14: we we've just moved that direction. So pardon me why
• 36:58
  Speaker 14: I reminisced, But boy, how how great was it that?
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: You know, college football seems so simple then? And actually
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: well it was actually you know, a whole different thing.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: You know, college football wasn't driving the bulls. The bulls
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: were driving college football, and the communities were driving the bulls.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: And we've lost that. I mean, I was looking at
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: some photographs. We were in a couple of parades coming
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: up into Christmas. But the attendance in these Christmas parades
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: are low. I don't see anyone covering the Rose Bowl
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Parade on New Year's Day anymore. But I'm told that
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: the spree decors about it is flailing because twenty somethings
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: don't care. They don't care about the town they live in.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: It's transitory. But now I'm on my soapbox. Maybe I'll
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: save this for a little bit.
• 37:46
  Speaker 14: Easy to do that, all right, next day we'll get
• 37:49
  Speaker 14: into the CFP Thursday and Friday and start to hype
• 37:52
  Speaker 14: what's going on. And Bob Chesney was back. He had
• 37:54
  Speaker 14: his press comfortce Yes today, Jamie. So anyway, all right,
• 37:57
  Speaker 14: we will see you tomorrow morning, bright and early.
• 38:01
  Speaker 10: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting
• 38:05
  Speaker 10: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Abolishing the police.
• 38:11
  Speaker 10: At a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of
• 38:14
  Speaker 10: police the most, some elected officials would rather create more
• 38:17
  Speaker 10: chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of elected officials
• 38:21
  Speaker 10: caving in to demands of.
• 38:23

• 38:25

• 38:28

  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Actually three known gas is. I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric

  Speaker 12: When might you be buzzed when you suddenly love everything
• 43:31
  Speaker 12: you guys?
• 43:32
  Speaker 19: I love this song, I love these notchos, I love
• 43:38
  Speaker 19: archidefall League. Oh, I love this guy.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: What's your name? You know what? I'd love a ride

• 43:56
  Speaker 1: It's on for you.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: From Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Certain more, Sam, look at Mountain.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: Need a printed tamble.
• 44:30
  Speaker 19: Don't do the visit.
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: I can do with the spear.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: Rod and breed.
• 44:43
  Speaker 19: The spar.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, real quick. And then I opened this can of
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: worms with Mac a moment ago and a quick note.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Mac's sports reports supported by the Lunch Pail Foundation helping
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: kids win as in what's important now that scholarships. Find
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: out more at lunch paildefense dot com. But I opened
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: up the can of worms about parades and community enthusiasm.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: And we see this in so many manifestations. Younger people
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: don't care about their community, and some of them, if
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: you press them, we'll say, well, some community doesn't care
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: about me and there's no buy in. It's one of
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: the reasons that you see flailing attendance at some of
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: these holiday parades and even biggies like the Rose Parade
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: and things like that, where it might not be noticeable
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: right off the bat. But it is an important thing
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: to get back because your community is your home. And
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: I don't want to sound like some hackneyed lyric in
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: a bad Bruce Springsteen song, trying to sound like he's
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: doing Nebraska Part two. But the sense of place, the
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: insufferable homer in all of us. Somebody was teasing me
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: about sports teams that I grew up liking. I said,
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: I understand pain and suffering. I grew up a New
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: York Mets fan in the seventies, and they were bad.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, they were active, they would go out of
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: their way. If you've ever watched the movie Major League,
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: it seemed like the New York Mets in the mid seventies.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: That's how they were put together. Here these people are
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: going to be so bad. I mean, I was once
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: part of a baseball crowd of five hundred people, which
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: is a lot for a high school game. But it's
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: packed house for a high school or college game. It's little,
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: little dodgy when your stadium's fifty five thousand seats and
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: there's only five hundred of us, So you know that
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: whole those holes. I can't watch Major League without getting
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: wistful a little bit for the bad old days of
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: their but sports teams, you know, do you root for
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: the home team anymore? Or do you care? You don't
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: care anymore. There's no sense of place, there's no importance
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: of this is where I'm from. Not enough, not as
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: much as it used to be, and we've lost it
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: in this centralization of everything. My father in law being
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: a union founder, you had the prerequisite comes with the
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: swearing in the license plate frame that said I spend
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: it where I make it, until we pointed out the
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Pontiac he was driving was made in Mexico, and he
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: freaked out, what I bought a Honda as it was
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: made in the United States. But that feeling of this
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: is my place. My daughter is getting ready to move
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: out of Richmond and she's going to move to Philadelphia,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: and we got a little bit into the conversation about
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: you know, how does a place like Philadelphia have a
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: hometown feel if it's such a big city. So the
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: hometown bit is the area in the big city you
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: live in. So these big cities used to be especially
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: very much like small towns in any other rural part
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: of America. There's just not the big gap of you know,
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: an hour's drive in between each one, and they generally
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: were known by at very least a high school nearby,
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: so you know, this high school would have its town
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: around it, and this high school would have its town
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: around it. Even within a big city. You don't have
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: that anymore, or we're in peril of losing it, I
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: think is a better way to put my concern. It's
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: not that I'm slagging anyone, or I'm not saying that
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: the parades or these things, the fireworks shows on Independence
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Day and Memorial Day and Veterans Day. We are losing
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: this to the centralized world of retail and business, and
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: we don't work for somebody who is known in the town.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: And maybe this is the sensitivities of somebody who just
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: bought a radio station and is suffering the trials of job,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: never mind the trials of job, the trials of job
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: just to keep her on the air. And Lord only knows.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: I've been in radio long enough that I don't think
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen some of the things that have been
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: tried to, you know, impale this radio station. So if
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: we survive this, we're gonna survive anything. But that being said,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: what's the service to the local community is what is
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: the get out and parade and do these small events
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: that the big multinational corporations don't do. And it's not it.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: We touched on this and we're gonna have some fun
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: in the next hour. Do you know that the New
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: York Times actually used the phrase school choice and not
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: derisively either in a headline and as a matter of fact,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: that it's the whole premise of a column in the
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: newspaper of record saying that the problem in America may
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: be solved by school choice. Go figure. And we'll get
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: into that coming up in a little bit. But the
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: micro schools and those things, maybe that's the rebirth of
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: this movement of local the farm, the farm to table,
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: the homesteading. What we were at yesterday we had dinner
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: an event with doctor Robert Malone and his wife and
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: several other folks who were in the homesteading movement, along
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: with Joel Salatin, nearly the FDA chief also lives in
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: this area. It's the big factories of you know, centralized
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: makings and takings that we're losing touch with the country
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: doctor versus the HMO. Every aspect, every facet of life,
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: and it's just a manifestation when you see a Christmas
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: parade and there's you know, a smattering compared to what
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: had been the kind of attendance they get. It's not
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: like Christmas didn't come, and it's not like people don't
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: care that it's Christmas. People don't care that it's Christmas
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: in their town because it's not their town. They're passing through.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: They're transitory, even if they grew up there. They're trying
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: to get out. There's no sense of purpose in place,
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: and that is the danger. And one of the struggles
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: conservatives have is that that is an essential part of
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: conservatism is local first, because local is best, because local
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: is in touch with the people who are making the decisions.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: They're not off somewhere and you never see them again.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Get emails all the time. Can you get this to
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: my congressman? You should be able to give it to
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: your congressman. You know, It's true.
• 52:52
  Speaker 13: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
• 52:55
  Speaker 13: to think about what matters most when it comes to
• 52:57
  Speaker 13: our spending our healthcare. This is why so many people
• 53:00
  Speaker 13: are joining meta share right now. Metashare is a trusted
• 53:05
  Speaker 13: way to save up to fifty percent on your monthly
• 53:07
  Speaker 13: healthcare costs. More than four hundred thousand people have already
• 53:10
  Speaker 13: made the switch. It's pretty obvious why too, especially now
• 53:14
  Speaker 13: during this challenging season with health care costs and out
• 53:17
  Speaker 13: of pocket expenses going up. Metas Share can save.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: You a lot of money.
• 53:21
  Speaker 13: The typical family saves five hundred dollars a month.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Meda Share works too.
• 53:26
  Speaker 13: It's been around for thirty years. Members have shared more
• 53:28
  Speaker 13: than five billion dollars of each other's bills. There are
• 53:31
  Speaker 13: different options to choose from to fit your budget. I'll
• 53:34
  Speaker 13: give you the number here in a second, and if
• 53:35
  Speaker 13: you call, you can get a price within two minutes.
• 53:38
  Speaker 13: Maybe now it is the perfect time to make the
• 53:40
  Speaker 13: switch and start saving. Here you go call eight five
• 53:44
  Speaker 13: five Share forty. That's eight five five share forty eight
• 53:48
  Speaker 13: five five Share forty
