  Speaker 7: And you won't just be gone?
• 0:40
  Speaker 8: It's a it's a dangerous game to play. Merry Christmas
• 0:45
  Speaker 8: for those joining us already in progress. Uh, And we
• 0:49
  Speaker 8: are here, We are down here with the lumps of coal,
• 0:53
  Speaker 8: the big, beautiful, clean burning coal. And I said this
• 0:59
  Speaker 8: two months ago, didn't I say it two months ago?
• 1:02
  Speaker 8: This day and age cold not such a bad thing
• 1:05
  Speaker 8: to get in your stocking, throwing the furnace march.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:10
  Speaker 8: I don't say I was bad. Gonna keep us warm tonight.
• 1:26
  Speaker 8: But this Christmas morning of twenty twenty five, we gather
• 1:35
  Speaker 8: together for the same reasons we do every morning, just
• 1:38
  Speaker 8: to get the day started. And like I said, some
• 1:40
  Speaker 8: of you. And it's interesting I'm seeing in the text
• 1:43
  Speaker 8: message hotline of four three four eight A two four
• 1:46
  Speaker 8: two one seven a lot of the early regulars slept
• 1:49
  Speaker 8: in a little bit this morning. I see a player
• 1:56
  Speaker 8: and we appreciate you being there. And this is the
• 1:58
  Speaker 8: reason we're here is each day unfolds new things, and
• 2:03
  Speaker 8: there's always something that's trying to hide in the weeds.
• 2:10
  Speaker 8: And the very thing I was rebuking Brendan Carr and
• 2:14
  Speaker 8: President Trump for misunderstanding about a broadcast license is actually
• 2:19
  Speaker 8: why we're here this morning to serve you. And if
• 2:25
  Speaker 8: we're not serving you, and quick, quick note, and we'll
• 2:28
  Speaker 8: get our first things coming up here. I know, I know,
• 2:30
  Speaker 8: I know. We went late to it earlier and we
• 2:33
  Speaker 8: didn't have time for all the stories. And don't give
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: me grief. It's Christmas morning. Have another slice of the
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: rum cake. Okay, you want some of my son's kirschwasher filling. Yeah,
• 2:49
  Speaker 8: that's real Kirswharsher in it too, So wow, Yeah, Cherry's
• 2:54
  Speaker 8: never had it so good. But means we have to
• 3:01
  Speaker 8: give you what you need, what you want, what you're
• 3:05
  Speaker 8: looking for. If you go into your bakery, let's say
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: your bakery is opening and they've got the what's the
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: the Kringle, No, there's a there's a Germanic deal. That's
• 3:18
  Speaker 8: a it's amazing. My my brother in law introduced it
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: to Me's family is all German and it's just an
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: amazing confection and they get together and Christmas morning and
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: they're open for a few hours on Christmas morning so
• 3:34
  Speaker 8: people can come and get freshly baked. And maybe there's
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: a headshop in Colorado somewhere in Colorado Springs that's opened
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: this morning, so you can also come in and get
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: freshly baked out of You know, we don't well, we
• 3:49
  Speaker 8: judge a little bit, all right, a little bit more
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: than a little bit, but we must serve otherwise. It
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: doesn't matter what our license says. We're opt to do.
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: Are our advertisers, our supporters, that's who we're obligated to
• 4:06
  Speaker 8: do this for. And we can break this down a
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: little bit. But you know, President Trump doubling down on
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: this stuff yesterday before we went into his creator. It
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: was such a great Christmas message too. I don't want coal,
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: you mean clean, beautiful coal. And you know, you hear
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: the laugh in the President's voice when he said he
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: knows he's sticking a needle into himself. And that's one
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: of the things that's endearing about Trump. He used his
• 4:31
  Speaker 8: Christmas message to say Merry Christmas to all, including the
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: radical left scum that is doing everything possible to destroy
• 4:39
  Speaker 8: our country, but failing badly. New poll shows that Americans
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: prefer the way Milania Trump has decked out the White House,
• 4:47
  Speaker 8: then iterations done by Jill Biden and Michelle Obama by
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: about a two to one margin thousand registered voters, as
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: if that made a difference. Conducted by The Daily Mail,
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: sixty one percent shows Trump's decorations over Biden's forty just
• 5:06
  Speaker 8: under forty percent, and Arkansanian has one or our Kanson.
• 5:12
  Speaker 8: I guess it's our Kanson has one point eight billion
• 5:16
  Speaker 8: dollars in Powerball. Now. The downside is they'll get about
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: eight hundred and thirty four point nine million of it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 8: It's the second largest jackpot ever won. By the way,
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: if you're looking, the ticket numbers were four, twenty, five,
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: thirty one, fifty two, fifty nine, with the Red power
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: ball at nineteen and the power play was at two x.
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: If you play, you know, just as Samuel Alito penned
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: the descent in the Supreme Court's majority ruling blocking President
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: Trump's use of the National Guard in Chicago, calling it
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: unwise and imprudent. Whatever one may think about the current
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: administration's enforcement of immigration, law, so the way ICE has
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: conducted its operation, the protection of federal officers from potentially
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: lethal attacks should not be thwarted. Alito wrote, two people
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: were injured after Immigration and Customs enforcement agents opened fire
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: on a van in Maryland on Christmas Eve when the
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: driver drove into them and tried to run them over
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: during the operation that was designed to bring them into custody.
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: Justice Apartment said on Wednesday that it may need quote
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: a few more weeks to release all of its records
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: on Jeffrey Epstein after finding a million more potentially relevant documents.
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: The Georgia Secretary of State says it wasn't the ballots
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: that were unsigned, it was the tapes regarding the three
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: hundred and fifteen thousand ballots in Fulton County that were
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: unsigned by an election official verifying that they had been
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: checked and verified.

  Speaker 17: The sound.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: From the Home of the First Amendment. First thing today.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: I'm still got a speeding bullet, more powerful, gonna look amotive,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: able to leap tall buildings at a single bound. Look
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: up in the sky. It's a bird in It's Superman. Yes,
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: it's Superman. Strange visitor from another planet who came to
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of Bob man.
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: Ah, And there is in lies what James Gunn and
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: all these people who retell all these stories don't get.
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: You know, when Ben Affleck sits there in the car
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: and is asked, what's your superpower? Batman, I'm rich.
• 13:55
  Speaker 22: No.
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: Guy, you lose the plot. What is such a blight
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: on storytelling? It really has become such a blight on storytelling.
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: Superman is idolized all over the world. The whole point
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: of Superman, the whole thing that made Superman heroic, just
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: like the kid who was born in a manger, is
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: that he had the power to do whatever the hell
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: he wanted to do, and he didn't. He helped people.
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: And when you use your power for good. And we
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: all have powers. We talk about teds D when we
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: get to teds D, and it's about your gifts and talents,
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: but we all have powers too, we all have superpowers.
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: We all have things that we do that your friends say,
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: oh man, I couldn't have done that, thank you, and
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: you use it to help them. You use it to
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: be a boon to your community. And that's what you're
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: supposed to do. However, it's easy because we live in
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: the world run. We don't live in God's world. We
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: live in the deceivers. We live in Satan's world. This
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: is his domain. And this is when people say, how
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: can bad things happen? Because we live in the world
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: of bad things. We're supposed to make it through this crucible.
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: Our reward comes later and we do the things we
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: can do to help one another. I mentioned as we
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: went into break in the last segment that I would
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: expound on this issue over FCC broadcast licenses. And there's
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: so much going on, and I'm fascinated by this piece
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: deal that apparently was a no go three weeks ago
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: when it was proposed by Witkoff and Rubio at al
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: to Voladimir Zelensky. And what happened in the intervening weeks.
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: Was it just the continued bombardment of Kiev or he's
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: now saying maybe this idea of a free economic zone
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: in don Bass might be interesting. But let's just finish
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: this point on Brendan Carr and Donald Trump, since President
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: Trump did drag it into the conversation yesterday heading to
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: to Mari Lango for Christmas.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Hoste on Edward Television.
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: There is a license but there you see, there's a
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: license to in this. It's a subtle thing, but that
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: we have to fight the license culture because we have
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: allowed the government and Donald Trump's just a purveyor of
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: government here. He's not inventing this idea. We've allowed this
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: to metastasize. If anything, he is exposing all the reasons
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: Democrat or Republican alike should be against this license culture.
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: And I will bring up your favorite time in history
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: COVID nineteen. How many of your governors stood behind a podium.
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: Mine stood behind a podium and said, we are closing
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: your businesses. And I have no authority to close your business,
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: but I have the Department of Health commissioner on my
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: right and Alcoholic Beverage Commissioner ond my life. Now, your
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: state may have a different law regarding alcohol, but these
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: two people were going to go and shut your business
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: down because if you didn't shut down, they were going
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: to take away your permits to operate your business. That's
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: not what your license is there to do. Your license
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: is there to provide you protection against somebody else stealing
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: your business. Maybe we've gotten sloppy with language. Instead of
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: calling it a registration, we're calling it a license. So
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: we have a license to broadcasts. No, we have a
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: protection against somebody stealing our broadcast. Oh Joe, that's just yeah,
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: your slice and to belong to you South then it's perjuto.
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: And it's a difficult conversation to have now, but see
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: if you can do this. We have a little time
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: before everyone shows up for the early morning You know,
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: do you do the shortbreads?
• 19:14
  Speaker 22: Oh?
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: The shortbreads. That's one of the sadnesses about my mother
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: in law descending into Alzheimer's. But my wife has picked
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: up the shortbread. Oh the shortbreads so good and bad
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: at the same time. I'm like, Oh, I'm not gonna
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: eat the fruitcake, but I'll eat eighty five shortbreads because
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: I'm looking out for my weight. Oh so good. But
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: maybe before people come over for the shortbread and coffee
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: and just get the Christmas thing all started early. Maybe
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: you're going to Sunrise mass whatever your plans are today,
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: take a minute and imagine for a second Joe Biden
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: or Barack Obama or Gavin new or Oh and here
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: in Virginia, they live here in this Abigail Spaanburger saying this, well,
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: late night.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Host is on network television. There is a license. I'll
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: give you an example. I read someplace that the networks
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: were ninety seven percent against me. I get ninety seven
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: percent negative, and yet I won and easily won all
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: seven swing stains popular, but won everything. And if they're
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: ninety seven percent against, they give you only bedwood listening
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: or the press. I mean they're getting a license. I
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: would think maybe their license should be taken away. It
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: will be up to Brendan.
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: Carr, and that would be perhaps true if you gave
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: the license. You're like, Hi, I'd like to broadcast radio
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: here or television, And you're like, all right, fill out
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: the form. I'll give you a license. Go put your
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: transmitter up. It costs a lot of you know, costs
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: of d amount of money, not really a ton of
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: money to get your FCC broadcast license through the federal government.
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: I know this now because I am the owner of one.
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: But the license was designed to protect my storefront, the
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: channel of my TV station, or the frequency of my
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: radio station from being stolen by someone else. Now the
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: government is using that protection against me. It's the same
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: thing that they've done about the free speech on campuses.
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: They've taken your free speech and they've weaponized it against
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: free speech right in front of us. And it's like
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: David Copperfield doing an amazing magic trick. We didn't see
• 21:50
  Speaker 8: the Bengal tiger walk off stage because we were looking
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: at the pretty girl in the sequin costume, which is
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: always the trick of the magician. Let's see if.
• 22:02
  Speaker 23: Something costs less but people are happier with it, that
• 22:05
  Speaker 23: sounds like something to look into, and that is meta Share.
• 22:09
  Speaker 23: Maybe you've heard switching to meta share to pay for
• 22:11
  Speaker 23: healthcare can save many families up to five hundred bucks
• 22:14
  Speaker 23: a month, and that is huge. But it's also true
• 22:16
  Speaker 23: that people are way more satisfied after making the switch too.
• 22:19
  Speaker 23: The members satisfaction rate for meta share is double that
• 22:23
  Speaker 23: of the typical health insurance plan.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Double.
• 22:25
  Speaker 23: Meta share works too. It's been around for thirty years.
• 22:28
  Speaker 23: Members have shared more than five billion dollars of each
• 22:31
  Speaker 23: other's bills. People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide
• 22:34
  Speaker 23: PPO network. So yeah, really you can save a ton
• 22:37
  Speaker 23: and like it better. Imagine being happy with how you're
• 22:40
  Speaker 23: taking care of your healthcare. So if you're self employed

• 29:06
  Speaker 22: Well?
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: Got yeah, I woke up in five thirty all excited,
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: ran to the living room in the tree in hopes
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: that my wife had you know, hooked up a golf
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: simulator overnight. That did not happen, by the way, So
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: that's all right, little surprise for you, just a little
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: bit as we get ready to wrap up the year
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: and of course next year, as I said, we're gonna
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: do uh, you know, top five rants. We're gonna you know,
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: top all my five stories this h this week, as
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: a matter of fact, is the top five Foster and
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: Friends top five and twenty five, and it's just, you know,
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: it's a I don't know. I guess I'm sentimental about
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: radio and the recapping the year and everything because everybody
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: else is doing it, so why not I'm watching it.
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: I'm watching an E's sixty now that I haven't seen
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: this morning on the life and legacy of Jim Abbott,
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: and it is such a terrific story. The one arm,
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: you know, he had the missing hand and yeah, could
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: move that gloverly quaky through left and it's it's a
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: great story. So all right, of all the stories though,
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: just bringing a couple of things to the table, including
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: my annual Christmas poem, which I want you to hear
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: that I think you'll enjoy. Yes, it's fully produced and
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: I will get to it. It's not six minutes long,
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: it's only I don't know, a couple of minutes.
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: It doesn't begin there. Once was a man from Setaukat doesn't.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: No, yeah, no, no, yeah, Once was the man from Boston. No,
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: it's not that, but anyway, John Daily interviewed this past
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: week with I think it was hard rock Bets Audio whatever,
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: because he's been representing them and not ever being involved
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: in a Writer Cup in any capacity, which is he's
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: the only man from either the United States or Europe
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: to have won two major championships and not be in
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: the Writer Cup. He thought he had a chance, and
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: that since nineteen twenty seven. He thought he had a
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: chance in ninety one, then four. Now, I when I
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: saw the headline yesterday, I went, oh, you know what,
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: if there's ever been somebody we should make captain that
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: team room would be.
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: The loosest best.
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, Daily would be he would be great.
• 31:06
  Speaker 20: And he sold.
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: He said, you know, I screwed things up because it's
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: nobody's fault, but mine.
• 31:12
  Speaker 12: Ninety one was a heartbreaker. It was the first year
• 31:14
  Speaker 12: the p Give America decided not to have their champion
• 31:17
  Speaker 12: be on the Rider Cup.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Two thousand and four, I think it's one. Those are
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: the two years that I know I could have really
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: really helped the US.
• 31:24
  Speaker 19: In the early nineties.
• 31:25
  Speaker 12: Some of the things I did probably didn't earn the
• 31:27
  Speaker 12: respect from the players. Don't blame them. The two thousand
• 31:30
  Speaker 12: and four I thought I was doing pretty good.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well you were for a while. But anyway, John
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: Daily the next Rider Cup captain. After all that did
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: happen the King in Bradley, and you know, and and
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: look what happens when you try to play it straight.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: You know, we got to just throw, you know, because
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: because Tiger more than likely will be the next rider captain. Okay,
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: enough about golf. It comes over your work. I have
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: to have a vision, I have to have something in
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: my head. And I looked at my phone. I had
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: written twas the Night for Irma, and all through the
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: high it was it was a tribute to the hurricane
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: it was going to run.
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: I had been in Florida very.
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: Long and it was a tribute to Irma, the hurricane
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: that rolled through. And the story was about a neighbor
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: and about how he was, you know, throwing down bud light,
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: was not scared of the hurricane.
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: I won't I won't read the whole thing, but it
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: always prompts me to say, Okay, at the end of
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: the year, I need twas because I had the opening line,
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: twas the night before Christmas, and all through the gym
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: not a player was tackling or hanging on the rim.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: So anyway, with a little music, thanks to the Peanuts collection,
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: just a little Christmas cheer for you, Joe. It's recorded
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: twas the night before Christmas, and all through the gym
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: not a player was tackling or hanging.
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: On the rim.
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: The sweat socks were hung from the lockers with care
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: in hopes of a nil deal that's up in the air.
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: The college players were nestled snug in their beds while
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: visions of endorsements danced in their heads. And Mama in
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: her sweatshirt and I in my cap had just scored.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: A box of more logoed crap went out in our mailbox.
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: There came a new letter and a promise from the
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: ad that our team would get better. Then what, to
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: my wondering eyes did appear a text on my phone
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: from Nick Saban, Oh dear, with words of wisdom and
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: a process. So quick I began listening to the one
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: and only Saint Nick. Coach Saban explained, we all had
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: to plan and make sure our system was the best
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: in the land. On Georgia, on Bama, the Buckeyes and
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: Kurt Let's now bracket sixteen.
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: What could hurt?
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: The text went on, making it clear the portal could work.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: Have no fear. As I drew in my head and
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: turning around, Coach Saban explained the process can be sound.
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: His eyes, how they twinkled, his dimples, How Mary, his
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: cheeks were red as he spoke of Miss Terry. I
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: finished the text and had nothing to dread. The old
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: coach was right. It was time for bed. I sprang
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: to my roku to check one more score, and the
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: entire bowl system had become such a bore. As I
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: went to my phone and one last wife, Coach Saban
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: wrote again, forget the hype. His message was gone, but
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: I knew just as well, Saint Nick would fix things
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: and the system would gel. Hello Mary, thank you Peanut's
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: YouTube music, you know, the tribute to the real Saint Nick.
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, you know, if anybody is going
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: to save this screwed up system, it's going to be
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: uh St Nick.
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: So can you imagine? I mean, you know, if you
• 34:56
  Speaker 8: ever wondered how Saint Nick can deliver all those toys
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: in one night and get them built all in one
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: calendar year, uh you know, there's got to be a system,
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: and it's got to be you know, set the next
• 35:08
  Speaker 8: seven seconds. That's it.
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, sevens exactly right. My wife has been so
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: caught up and you know, the holiday movies and you know,
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: all the all the stuff she watches, love actually every year,
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: loves the it's got everybody in it. Loves the you know,
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: the soundtrack, and so on and so forth. And then
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: she was she came back from the hospital last time.
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: She was, so she's a nurse, and so she was
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: so worn out that we only got halfway through another one.
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: And I said, God, thank goodness, the season's almost over,
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: because if I if I go through one more Christmas movie,
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna put a gun to my head, you know.
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: So it's pretty fine.
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: I said, well, we need to watch Christmas Story, you know.
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: And she goes, well, we've already seen that. I go, babe,
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: you've seen all of them, well once or twice. You know,
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: the Christmas Chronicles with Kurt Russell.
• 35:55

• 43:56
  Speaker 24: It's only the.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: This text message comes in from Cheryl who writes in
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: she said, Joe, we have never stopped being able to
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: make fun of Nazis, just people are afraid to broadcast
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: the jokes.
• 44:37
  Speaker 8: I don't know. We've got to get over this idea.
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: And I think in this world where we're basking in
• 44:46
  Speaker 8: this glow of Nuremberg, and I'm sorry, I just there's
• 44:50
  Speaker 8: too much and I'm guilty as charged. Frequently I'll get
• 44:55
  Speaker 8: the promos of a movie, and we used to do
• 44:57
  Speaker 8: a feature out of this. We would get promotional announcements
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: for new movies coming out, and then my partner and
• 45:06
  Speaker 8: I would go see the movie and we'd give away
• 45:09
  Speaker 8: some tickets to listeners and such. And we should try
• 45:11
  Speaker 8: to do this again, because it's actually I think getting
• 45:14
  Speaker 8: worse where the promotional announcements for these big movies bear
• 45:23
  Speaker 8: very little connection to what actually goes on in the movies.
• 45:30
  Speaker 8: So when you see all the promos for Nuremberg and
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: they're like, well, we made us feel jumming again, I'm like,
• 45:36
  Speaker 8: all right, I get this. This is gonna be two
• 45:39
  Speaker 8: hours of Trump bashing Trump's hitler, you know, and I
• 45:48
  Speaker 8: just I just don't feel like going through that. And
• 45:52
  Speaker 8: this is my point about the FCC is, if I
• 45:55
  Speaker 8: don't have to go see it, do I want more
• 46:01
  Speaker 8: people like Angels Studios going out there and telling amazing,
• 46:04
  Speaker 8: uplifting stories. Yes. And you're seeing the success of those
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: movies indicative of something that the TV stations in all
• 46:13
  Speaker 8: those places are probably a little slow to pick up on,
• 46:16
  Speaker 8: but they do because eventually somebody says, hey, what if
• 46:20
  Speaker 8: we put on programs like this, What if we build
• 46:25
  Speaker 8: a network around just making jokes about stuff going on
• 46:30
  Speaker 8: in the world on our late night show. What is
• 46:32
  Speaker 8: the point of our late night show? What was the
• 46:35
  Speaker 8: point of the Tonight Show when it started? Steve Allen
• 46:40
  Speaker 8: started the Tonight Show as a way to kind of
• 46:43
  Speaker 8: have fun at the end of the day. It was
• 46:45
  Speaker 8: like a refresher It was actually closer if you go
• 46:49
  Speaker 8: back and watch some of the tapes of the old
• 46:51
  Speaker 8: Tonight Show Steve Allen hosting it, it was closer to
• 46:54
  Speaker 8: Saturday Night Live than it is what it is today.
• 46:58
  Speaker 8: It was Jack Parr that really turned it into a
• 47:00
  Speaker 8: talk show and then then then there's Johnny. But it
• 47:10
  Speaker 8: was a it was a It was a d frag
• 47:13
  Speaker 8: for your hard drive at the end of the day.
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: So is that what we're doing with it? What is
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: the purpose? Again? We go back to these FCC licenses
• 47:21
  Speaker 8: and you know what the what they're for is, But
• 47:24
  Speaker 8: what's your broadcast for? Never mind what your FCC license
• 47:27
  Speaker 8: is for. What is your broadcast for? To tell people
• 47:32
  Speaker 8: what's going on this morning so they can get started
• 47:35
  Speaker 8: with it. Answer their damn phone calls at four three
• 47:37
  Speaker 8: four eight A two four two one seven. Sure, let's
• 47:40
  Speaker 8: let's do that. Good morning, you're on the air with Joe.
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: Who's this.
• 47:45
  Speaker 12: Merry Christmas?
• 47:46
  Speaker 8: Joe.
• 47:46
  Speaker 12: This is Kareem from Virginia.
• 47:48
  Speaker 8: How good Kareem? How are you sir? Merry Christmas?
• 47:51
  Speaker 12: Well, I'm thank you. Currently driving on I eighty one
• 47:55
  Speaker 12: sparse traffic, but if I say the wrong word, problem
• 48:00
  Speaker 12: be a t today.
• 48:01
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, I ey one is like that. It's
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: good traffic until it's not because there's lots of Are
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: there a lot of trucks out there? Or have the
• 48:09
  Speaker 8: trucker's got a little Christmas break too?
• 48:13
  Speaker 12: It's evenily mixed. The truck stop I left that was
• 48:16
  Speaker 12: near Knoxville was slammed full. So now some of them
• 48:20
  Speaker 12: may be parked there just because that's where they park
• 48:22
  Speaker 12: over a break, yeah, or they may just be on
• 48:25
  Speaker 12: a road rowing. But I thankful the truck stops are open,
• 48:27
  Speaker 12: and I'm thankful for them doing that.
• 48:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah, God bless them for it. Anyway, what's on your mind, sir.
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: There's a whole bunch of stuff.
• 48:34
  Speaker 12: I'll try to keep it brief and limit show yesterday. Again,
• 48:39
  Speaker 12: each show that you have is a rich feature of facts,
• 48:42
  Speaker 12: and I'm just calling back to the separation of church
• 48:45
  Speaker 12: and state. You mentioned Martin Luther and how you know
• 48:50
  Speaker 12: that was a that was a big, big change. That
• 48:53
  Speaker 12: Reformation was was huge because you when you learn about
• 48:56
  Speaker 12: what the people in charge of the church at the time,
• 48:59
  Speaker 12: we're doing to people that they considered to be heretics.
• 49:03
  Speaker 12: It wasn't it was It was a dark, dark time.
• 49:06
  Speaker 12: And at the same time that Martin Luther was alive,
• 49:09
  Speaker 12: Penr the eighth was separating from the church, creating his
• 49:12
  Speaker 12: own Church of England because he's, you know, wanting a
• 49:14
  Speaker 12: different wife.
• 49:14
  Speaker 8: And it was a great example of why we wanted
• 49:17
  Speaker 8: to separate church from state.
• 49:21
  Speaker 12: Indeed, idiot was now this morning, though, I do know
• 49:26
  Speaker 12: that you're focusing on the suicide bombers that are current
• 49:28
  Speaker 12: in Russia, and we.
• 49:30
  Speaker 8: Haven't focused yet. We haven't really delved into the story
• 49:33
  Speaker 8: very much, but I mean, we want to acknowledge that
• 49:35
  Speaker 8: it's happened, and and you know there's more to come.
• 49:38
  Speaker 8: I'm sure it will be.
• 49:41
  Speaker 12: I'm if you're called back. A couple of years ago,
• 49:44
  Speaker 12: there was a very bad incident at a concert and
• 49:48
  Speaker 12: two hundred people lost their lives, Yes, citizens and now
• 49:53
  Speaker 12: no granted Ukraine. I call it a war. Anytime you
• 49:55
  Speaker 12: got military is going against each other, I'm calling that
• 49:57
  Speaker 12: a war. But the four people that they captured on
• 50:02
  Speaker 12: the road, who perpetrated that attack, the four survivors, they
• 50:05
  Speaker 12: caught them on the way. So my guess is since
• 50:09
  Speaker 12: from now on, they don't want survivors, so they're going
• 50:11
  Speaker 12: to make sure that whoever does attacks. They know they're
• 50:14
  Speaker 12: going in full tilt Bookie.
• 50:16
  Speaker 8: Well, yeah, I mean that's that's sort of what the
• 50:18
  Speaker 8: terrorists do, is I mean, they're the eighty percent of
• 50:22
  Speaker 8: the terror is the idea of, oh my god, this
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: person's gonna is willing to blow themselves up in an
• 50:28
  Speaker 8: effort to rend us under everything that we hold precious
• 50:33
  Speaker 8: in the world. And and that's half their half their
• 50:36
  Speaker 8: business model.
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 50:39
  Speaker 12: Well, job, I better go catcha You have a good
• 50:43
  Speaker 12: rest of the year.
• 50:43
  Speaker 8: You do the same, kareem, thank you sir, God, bless
• 50:46
  Speaker 8: merry Christmas, and do all the hands free. Uh and
• 50:50
  Speaker 8: thank you for that. Four three four eight eight two
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: four two one seven. Text messages come in there as well.
• 51:00
  Speaker 8: Emails come to JT in the Morning radio at gmail
• 51:03
  Speaker 8: dot com. The latest out of this, and some news
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: agencies are connecting the suicide bombers to the war in
• 51:12
  Speaker 8: between Russia and Ukraine, and some are not. And that's
• 51:19
  Speaker 8: the interesting part of this is that depending on the
• 51:22
  Speaker 8: news agency, you can find different things. Russian authorities said
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: two officers were among those who were found dead. The
• 51:29
  Speaker 8: other was thought to have been a bystander. Ukraine's military
• 51:38
  Speaker 8: said its forces had pulled out of the embattled eastern
• 51:41
  Speaker 8: zone of Seversk. The invaders were able to advance due
• 51:47
  Speaker 8: to a significant numerical advantage and constant pressure from small
• 51:51
  Speaker 8: assault groups, the Ukrainian General Staff said. But the story
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: of these attack bombings. Investigators say the blast occurred close
• 52:10
  Speaker 8: to the site where a Russian general was killed on Monday,
• 52:17
  Speaker 8: two officers another person killed by a car bomb. Russia
• 52:24
  Speaker 8: is claiming the car bomb was planted by Ukrainian intelligence
• 52:30
  Speaker 8: and that's new to the story is that the third
• 52:33
  Speaker 8: person dead isn't the bomber but a bystander, and that
• 52:36
  Speaker 8: the car bomb was just in the car. The question
• 52:41
  Speaker 8: is was it in the patrol car? Had they wired
• 52:44
  Speaker 8: up the patrol car? And is this war or is
• 52:49
  Speaker 8: this terrorism.
• 52:51
  Speaker 29: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  Speaker 29: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  Speaker 29: California based chiropractor with more than third years of experience,
• 53:01
  Speaker 29: this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
• 53:05
