  Speaker 4: The one that Joe's as smith, he only.
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: you again this morning. You know how we roll. We
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: will tell you what went on last night. We will
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: give you our breakdown of it. And then what I
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: want you to do is give me a call and
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: tell me how it's impacting you where you are, Because
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: a lot of this stuff is impacting you where you are,
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: like it or not. That's Lindsey Graham, really, And for
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: everyone who wants to argue with me about Donald Trump
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: and the conservative movement, or the libertarian movement, or in
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: any number of places where Donald Trump will show up
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: in some of his instances, He's pure in none of them.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: And I've said this from the get go. I mean,
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: he is somebody who will at certain moments espouse very
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: libertarian beliefs and try to take very libertarian actions, sometimes
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: very conservative, but in all things he has always seen
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: that the government needs to in some way, shape or
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: form be the answer right now, He's and if he's
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: anything else, he is a pragmatist. He always has been,
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: and he builds the building on the site he has,
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: as it were. So when people say, well, he's not,
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: you know, an arch you know he's endorsing Lindsey Graham.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: How's he doing that? I think Lindsey Graham is no conservative.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Lindsey Graham is somebody who has helped him get things done,
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: and therefore Donald Trump will endorse him. If you are
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: somebody that Donald has helped Donald Trump get things done,
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: he will endorse you. I mean, it really isn't any
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: more mystical than that. And I know that people want
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: to make it out to be. And is he is
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: he a conservative? Does he know who runs? He might
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: not even be able to identify Russell Kirk from James T. Kirk,
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: But he is somebody who has managed to bring in
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: some conservative principles into the governing. He stopped the tide
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: of out of control authoritarianism and for that we are good.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: But we you know, we'll get into that. It's just
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: one of those things that's itching on the back of
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: my itchy place. But right now, our first thing's for
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: you this morning. President Trump said yesterday the only that

  Speaker 5: buried nuclear sites, while maintaining that the strikes damage the

  Speaker 5: facilities out of any ability to recover them. He said

  Speaker 5: to the press and the Oval Office, we attacked their

• 14:15
  Speaker 5: mean to be fair to Charlie. Charlie Pride hasn't been
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: a staple of country wise. I mean even the classic
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: country stations. It's like they have two Charlie Pride songs
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: in rotation. I know that takes you inside the business
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: more than you wanted to know, so you know you're
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: hard pressed. I think you know some of the gospel
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: not gospel station, but the Christian music stations. He has
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: a lot there. If Charlie Pride is living anywhere, it's

  Speaker 5: and he knows what we all go through, and he
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: knows what's winning for us. And all I can do
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: is tell you the truth. And a couple of folks
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: triggered about my commentary as brief as it was on
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: President trump endorsement of Lindsey Graham yesterday. And it's it's
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: fun to me to watch the things that get us
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: worked up. You know, Iran's quote Supreme Leader in almost
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: what could be a scene from a Woody Allen movie.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: You know, some guy comes out and says, hey, I've
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: recorded this. We went to the closet that the Iatola
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: is in and he gave us this. And by the way,
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: there's a scurrilous report circulating the internet that the that
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: there is there there are a lot more homosexuals in
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: Tehran than mahmudamadinuzhad realized. But most of them have figured
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: out it's easier to hide under clerical gowns. That this
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: this band of brothers, the Council of Experts counseling. All right,
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: in any event, it's fun and frolic for a Friday morning.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: President Trump, the pragmatist. President Trump, you and me and
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: believe me. I can sit here and quote Russell Kirk.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: I can talk about conservative principles. I can talk about
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: why Edmund Burke was the forebearer of it. But understand
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: that we live in the now. And this is one
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: of the things that I think befuddles, you know, people
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: like the folks at National Review, who, to be fair,
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: always felt like they were the keepers of the flame
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: of conservatism. Trump is a pragmatist and he understands that.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: You know, we live in a world where he wants
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: us to feel good about being American. So he does
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: things like saying, Hey, I'm going to build a pavilion
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: they want to call it the Trump Pavilion. I who
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: am I to say, not that anyone had a problem with,
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: you know, the way you walk along the reflecting pool
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: or that kind of thing. I think it's going to
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: be a little bit more towards the river side, so
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: you can look at the Potomac and that's fine, well
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: and good. Is it something I want taxpayer dollars for? No,
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: did we need a ballroom. No, we didn't need a ballroom.
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: We needed to upgrade the bunker underneath the east wing.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: So see, it's just the stuff that gets lost in
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: all the demagogurey, the construction project that became the ballroom.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: Let's say, you know, that construction project needed to happen,
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: and it was going to happen more efficiently if we
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: tore down the whole East wing, keeping in mind the
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: east and West wings weren't added until I guess that
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: was it to Teddy Roosevelt was the first president to
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: ever sit in the Oval office, so you know, this
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: was not in the US Constitution or the Declaration of
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: Independence or anything of that. Front's tavern in New York
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: City was more likely to be a place to find
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: George Washington than a white House in Washington. He's a
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: foggy bottom. Don't call a city, you know, And there
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: are things like George Washington would have been a ghast
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: at the idea of a city named after him the
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: seat of the government. He would probably put that on
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: the shelf next to the idea of giving him a
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: crown and calling him the King of America. But Trump
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: is a pragmatist. He understands where we are right now.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: And I do believe he understands conservative principles and that
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: they color his decisions. But he also understands where we
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: are now, and he may be the closest thing to
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: a Republican Kensian out there. He is finding ways to
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: get money into the economy and while trying to clot
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: back and what he's doing is at all instances trolling
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: the guys like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. The Trump
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: derangement syndrome sufferers. So I get it. You know a
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: lot of people not big Lindsey Graham fans, but Trump
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: knows that he helps him get stuff done as much
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: as it does get done in the Senate. Probably would
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: like Lindsay Graham to be in charge of the Senate
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: rather than John Thune. But you know, of all the
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: things that triggered us this morning, I've received more than
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: my fair share of what I expected to see in
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: the ways of emails and text messages. Lindsey Graham, what
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: the hell? This is the quote from one of the
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: emails that came in while we were traveling here to
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: the island of long this morning for this talk radio conference.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: I'm doing a presentation on non corporate ownership. Which is
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: funny because for the better part of my life I've
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: worked for corporate ownership. But because I was you know,
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: somebody who is crazy enough to buy my own and
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: start our own radio program. You know, not nobody at
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: CBS or ABC said you should do a morning radio show.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: I've been doing a morning radio show since the nineties.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: I've been waking people up for longer than you want
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: to admit, probably longer than some of you have been alive.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: And we're getting pretty good at it and almost.

• 22:13
  Speaker 19: one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to be
• 22:16

• 24:31
  Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

  Speaker 4: don't really want to know. Just for all the haters,

  Speaker 4: got a hate.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: I gotta tell you something. I'm around here at zero
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: thirty in the morning, actually zero thirty four and forty
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: three seconds in the morning Eastern Seaboard time, surrounded by
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: at least forty five eighteen to twenty two year olds
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: who work as students. You know, they do work at
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: the employees of but they work for this college radio station.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: Winner of Marconi Awards is probably it's the Harvard of
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: radio broadcast. But for everyone who says radio is dead,
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: we are the cockroaches of media. We you know, you
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: keep dropping bombs on us and and everything else is obliterated.
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: Newspapers or substack accounts now, you know, and at some
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: point somebody who's going to start aggregating substack columns the
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: way newspapers used to aggregate reporters work, and we're going
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: to reinvent you know, the newspaper and TV stations are
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: YouTube channels now, and none of them have any of
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: the impact that radio does. I'm sorry if I blow
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: my own horn for a moment, it's because I took
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: a little of Sealy's CBD oil to relax me. But you, oh,
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: my wife, Bless my wife's heart. When we're going to
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: these things, I am a ball of stress. So our
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: buddy Seely out in the four corners shared with me
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: some of the CBD oil he presses, and he's got
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: a CBD farm there. And as far as the pain
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: in my shoulder that's been tendinitis and ever since my
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: chemo ended, and that kind of stuff works wonders on it.
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: But I said, you know what my wife said, did
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: you bring the CBD oil? Yeah? Yeah, tell Seely I did.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: But I want to pick up on the dirty laundry story.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: So Scott Pelly drops bombs as he walks out and
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: is out at CBS. Is the head of sixty minutes.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: What is the job of a news magazine? I host
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: a news magazine. I produce it for a think tank
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: that I work for called the Virginia Institute for Public Policy. Sorry,
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: I write a I produce a radio news magazine. It's
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: supposed to go further in depth into stories that you're
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: already tuned into. So you know, okay, the Trump promenade.
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: What is the precedent of the Triumphal arch that kind
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: of thing, and it had become campaign literature. But all
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: TV has sixty minutes isn't different. As a matter of fact,
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: the one thing I can say that will be insulting
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: to sixty minutes is they were no different than anyone
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: else on TV. But now the new chief vows that
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: sixty minutes will have independence. Memo from the executive producer
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: of sixty minutes, they will have independence. That's a lie
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: because a program has to have a folk a format.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: Guy can't just walk in on Thursday with a video
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: cassette and say here's here's my package for Sunday night
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: and just expect that to fly. You have you have meetings,
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: You have editors that say, here's what our agenda is,
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: and if you're lucky, you have ones that say, okay, Joe,
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: whatever you send us out of Virginia is fine. It's
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: like my editors at the Daily Signal, nobody gives me
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: grief if I say, hey, I'm running down this story
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: of sexual assault in the Virginia General Assembly between two
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: General Assembly members, Oh, by the way, and their Democrats. Yeah,
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: They're like, all right, great whatever. When you're done with it.
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: Bring it on in. Nick Bilton, appointed last week by
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: Barry Weiss to run sixty minutes. They will never the
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: news magazine, will never take marching orders from the owners
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: of CBS. So this guy is already lying to his staff.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: This is a great way to get started. They might
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: not hear the marching orders. He will filter them. A
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: good editor for a magazine or a radio station or
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: anything else. It's going to tell you. You tell me
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: what you're going to do, and I'll green light it
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: or not. And they may run interference in between the reporters,
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: but at some point the story must be sold to someone.
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: We will never built and wrote in the memo be
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: instructed by the ownership of the company on these stories,
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: and that the show should chase news without fear or favor. Now,
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: of course this is the problem, and the left wants
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: fear and favor to be in the newsrooms, and the
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: sponsors want advocacy. So how do you run that? You know, Joe,
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: you you're here at this talk radio conference. You're supposed
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: to be given a speech about independent radio. Well, how
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: does it hard? How hard is it? I'm a New
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: York City public school educated guy who found the place
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: that he could call home and has done it and
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: has become expert at it by working at it. But
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: I have no degree from some esteemed marketing school about
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: how to do an ad for somebody. I all I
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: do is I say, hey, listen, here's here's somebody I like.
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: And it's what they do. And you know what, it's
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: exactly what Trump. I can break a microphone with the
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: best of them, but that's what Donald Trump does. I
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: like this guy. I like him because he does good
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: stuff for me. And I don't know why you have
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: to come be cute. Well that's a lie as well.
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: I do know why they have to play cute footsies
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: with their sponsors that want advocacy pieces done for them.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: General Electric brings you this segment of Magazine's magazine where
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: we'll tell you all the good stuff that's being done
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: with the green energy movement independently, of course, and you
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: chuckle about it, and most of us get it. I
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: think a lot of your friends fall prey to it.
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: If it's on TV, it must be news. They didn't
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: say it was a commercial for GE hydro Electric or
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: GE wind farms. Well no, they didn't say that. But
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: There was an ad for ge W Farms right after
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: the piece about how America needs new green energy. Huh
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: funny that. Let me get to the phones at four
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: three four eight eight two four two one seven. See
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: how the news of the day is impacting you. You're
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: on the air with Joe first thing this Friday morning.
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: Who's this?
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: This is Matt?
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: Hi, Matt, how are you doing? My friend?
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm old and tired, but I'm getting used to it.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: Now. You've worked in a few newsrooms, if I, if
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: I may not, you know, expose the fact that I
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: know a little bit about Matt's life before he comes
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: to the phone this morning. You you you have a
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: good deal of India ink under your fingernails, and you've
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: been in some new films. Is my characterization of how
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: an editorial room works in a newspaper or a TV station.
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: Are even accurate a little bit?
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: I will point out that what I worked for was
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: the legitimate printed press. It was not television.
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: Okay, very far, very fair.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I mean when I was laid up in the hospital
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: for a while several years ago, and there was a
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: television in the room, and I decided, okay, at least
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: I can keep up on the news. And I hadn't
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: watched television in a long time up to that point,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: and I started looking at it, and I realized that
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: television news is ten percent news and ninety percent television.
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it is a new you know show is
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: the more important part of the phrase news show there,
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: you know? And yeah, with all the irony, and so
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: can you hang on with me for a second, because
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: I have to pay a couple of bills here, because
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: Dominion is going to raise my electric rates soon, especially
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: when they merged with that new company.
• 38:02
  Speaker 8: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: of forty four herbal supplements had no trace of the
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: advertised herb. Don't let that happen to you. Hi, this
• 38:12

  Speaker 5: for you. Of course, I'll love you in the morning.
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: Don't call me after ten o'clock, though, because you're not
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: going to get anything but my voicemail. Matt's tried that
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: in the past as well at four three four eight
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: eight two four two one seven. Oh stop. You know
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: you're trying to put something over the radio because you
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: think I can see you. I can't see you through
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: the radio. But you might want to think twice about
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: that color combination. Matt. We were talking about new rooms
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: and you know, and how a TV news show is
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: more show than it is news. And I have an
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: old friend, Larry Kane used to he wrote the first
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: book about the Beatles. He actually toured with them in
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: nineteen sixty four in their American tour and then wrote
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: a book about it. But he was a Philadelphia news
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: anchor for a very very long time, claims to be
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: the first guy to use picture in picture technology as
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: he sat at the news desk. But that's where the
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: news has gone. It's become more let's melt some skittles
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: on your eyeballs than it is than a guy sitting
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: at a desk saying, here's what happened last night, and
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: then let you go on about your day, because you
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: can cram a whole lot more stories if you just
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: sit there and do forty seconds on the who, what, Where, when?
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Why? I think part of it has to do with
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: the nature of the medium itself. I mean you were
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: talking before about radio as the cockroach of all mediums.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Now I can turn the radio on, I can listen
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: to what you're talking about, or Glenn Beck or whoever else,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: and I can putter around my kitchen, I can fix
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: a meal. I can be doing something else while the
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: radio is on. Television is a medium that compels you
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: to watch it. You know, here is film footage of
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: a fire, and your head just swivels around. Hey, I
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: gotta see this. Television is one of these mediums that
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: ideally they want you just sort of sitting on yourselfa
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: staring at the television.
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: But you know that's an untapped him. And if there's
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: a rebuke about guys, you know, like this new guy
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: at sixty minutes who's already patently lied to his staff
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: that they're going to be completely independent, and CBS is
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: going to have no say over anything that gets programmed.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Well, the thing, the thing that startled me about this
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: whole business with sixty minutes when I heard that they
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: fired Scott Pelley was I didn't realize that they were
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: still on the air.
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: Great pr stunt, hold it sixty minutes it is still on?
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I mean, you know it's it's it's
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: almost like they're begging you to watch the Nostalgia Channel today.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: It's going to be on me TV. That's right.
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, but this is the the waste if
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: there's waste, and and I hate the idea of wasting
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: any of the minutes that of listening has for us.
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: I know that the average commuters anywhere between fifteen and
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: thirty minutes to share with a program like this. Not
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: every radio station that carries us carries all four hours
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: of it. I know. I know you're staring at the
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: radio just like my wife does, saying you do this
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: for four hours? Yes, what would four hours of this
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: sound like? Well, we podcast it all, we post it
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: up online for you to check it out. But there
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: is so much that is there that can be done
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: with that time that isn't being done with that time,
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: either in volume or in depth that I feel like
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: they're missing the opportunities that that compilation that need to
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: watch is being wasted.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: Well, but it's also I mean, how often do they
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: go in depth on something that doesn't matter? How often
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: do they go in depth on some kind of nonsense.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: I remember I read a thing many many years ago
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: that it was basically complaining about Time magazine because they'd
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: had a photograph of Bruce Springsteen on the cover, And
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: the question was, how can you take seriously a news
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: magazine that features a celebrity on the cover.
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: That must have been a long time ago, Oh.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: It was, it was, but that stuck with me, and
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: the idea here is, how do you take seriously something
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: that purports to be a television news program that is
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: interviewing celebrities? And I'm not saying they do it all
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: the time, but they.
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a point. You've probably run into this. You've
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: worked in print journalism as long as I've worked in
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: radio broadcast journalism, and some fitful moments where people think
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: it's a good idea to put this face on television.
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: But for the most part, I I you know, radio
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: is my thing. Prince been your thing. There is a
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: problem when you put a guy like Bruce Springstein on
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: the cover of your magazine and it sells more copies
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: than you've ever sold before that this is an inverse
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: lesson being taught to the publisher of the newspaper. We
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: need to put more celebrities on the cover. And even
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: if Bruce Springsteen was a news story like currently, he's
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: you know, put covering himself in gasoline like some Buddhist
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: monk and immolating his career on the temple of I
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: Hate Trump of Trump Derangement Radio. Okay, so that might
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: be newsworthy. You know how many people have stopped buying
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: Bruce Springsteen albums now that he's made his political views
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: even more ardent' that's a news story, just that he's
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: got a new album out and it's selling really well,
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: isn't This was one of my problems with Kimmel. Kimmel
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: wasn't a late night talk show like Johnny Carson. He
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: was the pr wing of Disney cap Cities. If Disney
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: had a new movie, Oh hey, Dwayne Johnson is going
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: to be on Jimmy Kimmel tonight. Guess he'll be talking
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: about Moana four or whatever, so they stopped being You know,
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: there's a portion, like I said, when I had to
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: go to commercial break. We went to a break. We
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: marketed a little bit, a couple of things, cheap airfares,
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: gassy blood, whatever, and we sell a couple of things.
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: We do a little dance, a little seltzer in your pants,
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: and we come back, we talk about CBS or Lindsey
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: Graham's Trump endorsement, or the Trump promenade, or any of
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: the things that are really happening as well that we'll
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: get into. And there's a borderline. TV has blurred that
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: line so badly that you can't tell everyone, you know,
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: you can't tell where the news ends and the entertainment begins. Yep,
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: I think we lost Matt there a second with thirty seconds, Matt,
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: if that's you again, go ahead. You know, the blurred
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: lines between news and entertainment.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And you get these people and you give them
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: all sorts of publicity, whether it's Bruce Springsteen or whether
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: it's Walter Cronkite being called the most trusted man in America,
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: but it gives them the impression that their opinion matters,
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't.
• 52:40
  Speaker 5: Yep. That's why I don't call what we do opinion.
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: I call it analysis. And you can know an analysis
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: can be wrong, it can be challenged. It's the scientific process.
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Matt.
• 52:51
  Speaker 18: My name is Bobby.
