1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 2: All right, well you heard the story. 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 3: But if you're not a football fan or you did 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 3: not hear what happened on Sunday night, it was incredible 5 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 3: high drama, absolute high drama, right down to the wire. 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens Pittsburgh Steelers. 7 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 3: I don't know if you're a Ravens fan or a 8 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 3: Steelers fan, or a football fan, but you gotta love 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 3: the high drama when you're down to the last second and. 10 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 2: A field goal is three points. 11 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 3: And you're down by two, so that's it, last play 12 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 3: of the game. All you gotta do is kick a 13 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 3: field goal and you win. And it's a must win 14 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 3: game for each team to make it into the playoffs. 15 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 2: And it sounded like this, well, final playoff, a regular season, 16 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 2: the final stop, the playoffs Tyler from forty four. 17 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 3: I mean, everybody was talking about it in the sports world, 18 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 3: and I mean it was incredible. 19 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: It was absolutely incredible. 20 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 3: I still couldn't really believe my line, my eyes and 21 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 3: you hear Tariko there the kick is no good. 22 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 2: It's wide, right. 23 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 3: So if you don't understand football, the yellow uprights for 24 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 3: a field goal or an extra point. 25 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,839 Speaker 2: You got to kick the ball in between the letter 26 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: H and it went wide right. Happens every once in 27 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: a while. 28 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 3: Not as good at the last play of the game 29 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 3: going into the playoffs, but there you have it. What 30 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 3: we didn't know at that moment was the end zone 31 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 3: was holy ground. Before the game, a priest from Pittsburgh 32 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: who I guess has been doing this regularly. 33 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: U his name is Father Maximilian Maxwell. 34 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 3: Oh, that's a good name for a father. If you 35 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 3: want a father that's absolutely going to win you the 36 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 3: football game, you want to go with a father whose 37 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 3: first name is Maximilian. Catholic priest, Father Maximilian Maxwell, from 38 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 3: Saint Vincent College sprinkled holy water on the field before 39 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 3: the game, part of a long standing tradition that dates 40 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 3: back to the stadium opening in two thousand and one. 41 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 2: So they've been doing this for a while. What happened, 42 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 2: I don't know. 43 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 3: God's been missing the games, but he was there Sunday, 44 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 3: that's for sure. The dramatic event the Ravens kicker Tyler 45 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 3: Lup missed the potential game winning forty four yard field 46 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 3: goal as time expired. The miskick occurred in the exact 47 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 3: space of the end zone that the priest had blessed 48 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: with holy water. And now there's a flurry of reaction, 49 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 3: speculation and everybody's concerned. Here again, here's a NBC television 50 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 3: to Mike Trico, I want to show you what happened 51 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 3: free game at six point fifteen localta. 52 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: This is a priest who's spreading holy water in that 53 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 2: end zone. 54 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: So it's not Tyler Luke's false. 55 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 3: As with everything in football, it's at a higher power. 56 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 2: You better believe it. Father Maximilian Maxwell. 57 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 3: He got the holy water on the end zone there 58 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 3: and that's exactly where the football landed, and it wasn't 59 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: where the football needed to be. 60 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: So a couple of things. 61 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 3: That we can deduce from this, and this is really 62 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 3: important because as a Catholic, this is a huge weight 63 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 3: off my shoulders. And if you're Catholic you can rest 64 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: easy now as well. This proves that God is Catholic 65 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 3: and that's good for us. 66 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 2: So that's really a big thing. 67 00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 3: Now that we know God is Catholic, the rest of 68 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 3: our lives are a lot easier because, like you, I 69 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 3: was worried. 70 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 2: I mean, you hope and you feel pretty comfortable. 71 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 3: I mean, everybody else in the church is pretty sure 72 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: God's Catholic, but you don't really know for sure because 73 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 3: you see all these other churches. And I mean, I 74 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 3: don't know about you, but I drive home from Mass 75 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 3: and I pass by, you know, the Protestant church and 76 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 3: everyone's getting in their car, you know. Then you see 77 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 3: that great, big spire on the LDS Temple and you think, huh, 78 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 3: that's a nice looking piece of architecture there, right, And 79 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 3: then you have Jewish people. 80 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 2: And you have Southern Baptists, and. 81 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 3: You start thinking, wow, what are the odds that God 82 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 3: is my religion? I mean, it actually starts to dwindle 83 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 3: when you start thinking about all the religions on the earth. 84 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 3: So you try not to think about it, and you 85 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 3: just keep going back on Sunday and you hope the best. 86 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 3: And then something like this happens and you think, thank goodness, 87 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 3: God is Catholic and a Steelers fan apparently. But that's 88 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: good news. So for we Catholics, we're good to go 89 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 3: because this proves it. And for the rest of you, 90 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 3: I don't know what you're gonna do. All my LDS friends, look, 91 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 3: the family photos are beautiful, but you just missed it. 92 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 3: And for you all my Anglican friends, all you Protestants 93 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 3: out there, go ahead and say it with me. It 94 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 3: is Saint John, not John, Saint John, and the pope 95 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 3: is in fact in charge. So that's a win. But 96 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 3: now what's happening is people are taking this holy water 97 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 3: thing seriously and starting to take it from churches, and 98 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 3: why not, Like why at this point, why wouldn't you 99 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 3: grab yourself some extra holy water. I know that I'll 100 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 3: be getting some. I mean I'm going there with an 101 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 3: empty flask and filling up because you never know if 102 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 3: Look that football clearly went wide right, as if God 103 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 3: pulled it. 104 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 2: To the right. So that's enough for me. 105 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 3: And that a priest and the priest name Maximilian Maxwell 106 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 3: Saint Vincent College. Yeah, that's that's as pre sounding of 107 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 3: a name as you need. So I'm convinced that's good 108 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 3: enough for me. And other people now are trying to 109 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 3: bring in like their religious like helper. Like we Catholics, 110 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 3: we have holy water. We got that going for us. 111 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 3: I don't know what you Protestants use. I can only imagine. 112 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 3: I mean there's all kinds. I mean, the Jewish faith, 113 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 3: I mean they got the MESSUSA. They got a lot 114 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 3: going on with their with their with their end of 115 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 3: the equation, so they have some things that they can 116 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 3: bring into the equation. 117 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 2: So we'll see now. 118 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 3: But everybody is trying to bring the faith angle in 119 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 3: to the weekend games and we'll see whose team wins 120 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 3: and which side God is on at least this weekend. 121 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 122 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 3: Good to have you along with us talking about the 123 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 3: big Steelers win and the reason why they won, and 124 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 3: it was all about the Holy Water. And now people 125 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 3: are looking at like for Catholics, we're good, we'd picked 126 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 3: the right one. But people looking at their own religion 127 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 3: to see what they can put a tool they can 128 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 3: pull out of the toolbox. 129 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 4: Hey, lou, just hearved you talking about you know, the 130 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 4: put the Holy water on the end zone. You know what, 131 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 4: So no one's offended religious wise, Why don't we have somebody, 132 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 4: some children take about I don't know, four hundred rabbits 133 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 4: feet and put them around the perimeter of the end 134 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 4: zone and see if that helps anything. 135 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 2: Hop to it, hop to it. 136 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 3: I appreciate the call, very clever. So that's the that's 137 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 3: the difference here, the difference. You can take a rabbit's 138 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 3: foot to the game and that can be what works 139 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 3: for you and then root for your team. Here they 140 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 3: sprinkled the holy water on the field. I never had 141 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 3: access to the field, so this is this is a 142 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 3: little bit different. Like I don't know if the priest 143 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 3: was at the game, if he was in like that 144 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 3: section where the ball went, that would be pretty wild too. 145 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 3: But the ball went right to where he sprinkled the 146 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 3: holy water. So yeah, well, people be throwing rabbits feet 147 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 3: on the field. 148 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess there's a lot you can do. 149 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 3: If you were a voodoo person, you could make a 150 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 3: tiny little football stadium and stick pins in it. I 151 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 3: guess I don't know that that really works. I think 152 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 3: if the voodoo doll thing worked, people use it a 153 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 3: lot more Like that's a pretty effective little tool. All 154 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 3: you have to do is get a little doll and 155 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 3: stick a hatpin in it, and someone gets poked. That's 156 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 3: a If that really did work, I think people would 157 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 3: be employing that device. 158 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 2: Far more frequently. But look, we'll see what happens. 159 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 3: I just think that it's great news that it turns 160 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 3: out that God is Catholic, I have a huge weight 161 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,079 Speaker 3: off my shoulder. 162 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: As a kid, I. 163 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 3: Worried about that a lot. I thought, what happens if 164 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 3: I die and God's not Catholic? What happens if I 165 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 3: die and I get up there and God is Lutheran? 166 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 3: And here I am going to church? Like, what's going 167 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 3: to be my excuse? As a kid, I literally thought 168 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 3: this through. What am I gonna say if my parents 169 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 3: took me? I didn't know, because God's definitely something I 170 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 3: don't know if he's Catholic. Well now I know he's 171 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 3: Catholic from the Holy Water on Sunday night. But he's 172 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 3: definitely he's either LDS or Protestant or Catholic or Eastern Orthodox. 173 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 2: That's a high likelihood. Could be Muslim, we don't know. 174 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 2: Uh could be Jewish. 175 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 3: That's gonna be earl shocker to a lot of people 176 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 3: in the Middle East. Or we could get blindsided all together. 177 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 3: And you know, he could be Shinto. So it's a 178 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 3: toss up, and that's the risk of take. That's you know, 179 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 3: the roll of the dice. When you choose a religion, 180 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 3: you got to you choose a religion and you stick 181 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 3: with it and you hope for the best, but it 182 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 3: really took a real weight off my shoulders as a 183 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 3: Catholic watching that Holy water cause that victory. 184 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 2: All right onward though, this Greenland story is not going away. 185 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 3: So Secretary of State Marco Rubio leaked tonight in a 186 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 3: news report that tomorrow and you heard Gary and Shannon 187 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 3: talk about this, they'll be talking about because Rubio and 188 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 3: the Secretary of warpete Hecksat, they're going to go on 189 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 3: Capitol Hill and testify it because members of Congress want answers. 190 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 3: So that should be a very exciting day. But Rubyo 191 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 3: leaked tonight that the President has the intent. 192 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 2: To purchase Greenland. 193 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 3: He's going to make them an offer, like literally buy 194 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 3: Greenland from the nation or the Kingdom of Denmark. There's 195 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 3: a couple of ways we can go on this. We 196 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 3: can just ask Denmark for it and buy it like 197 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 3: real estate. We've done that before. The Kingdom of Denmark 198 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 3: says it's not for sale, but you know there's a 199 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 3: price for any piece of real estate. Or you can 200 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 3: go directly to the residence of Greenland and say do 201 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 3: you want to have a revolution? Right like the colonists 202 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 3: in seventeen seventy six and get rid of the king 203 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 3: and become free, and then we we could do that. 204 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 3: I don't agree with this obsession over greenland. I don't 205 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 3: think they are the strategic necessity that the White House 206 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 3: seems to think. I have thought and I maintain that 207 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 3: the White House is just having fun. 208 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 2: But they're pushing it. There's no question about it. So 209 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 2: if they're serious about it. 210 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 3: I ran the comps, and it's hard to get comps 211 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 3: for large land masses, but there are comps in American history. 212 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 3: The Louisiana purchase was eight hundred and twenty six thousand 213 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 3: square miles and it cost US fifteen million dollars in 214 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 3: eighteen oh three dollars from France. Now it was for sale, 215 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 3: and I don't know what the negotiation was like. I 216 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 3: don't know what realtory you use, and was there a 217 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 3: broker's license involved? But the math works out to be 218 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 3: about four hundred and nineteen million dollars in twenty twenty 219 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 3: five dollars, So four hundred and nineteen million dollars not small, 220 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 3: but not a lot. It's half a billion dollars. It's 221 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 3: like nothing, And we got the Louisiana purchase and. 222 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 2: That's pretty big. The only other comp that I have 223 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 2: is Alaska. Alaska was a steal. 224 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 3: I mean eighteen sixty seven, five hundred and ninety one 225 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 3: thousand square miles. We got it from Russia for seven 226 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 3: point two million dollars adjusted. That's one hundred and twenty 227 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 3: nine million dollars in twenty twenty five numbers. 228 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 2: I mean, what a steal. 229 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 3: So if you look at Greenland and use those same 230 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 3: numbers effectively, whether it was Louisiana purchase or Alaska, you're 231 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 3: looking at about five hundred and six dollars per square mile, 232 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 3: So that works out to be about four hundred and 233 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 3: twenty three million dollars for Greenland if we want to 234 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 3: make an offer. 235 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 2: Now, they may have their own comps, and I don't 236 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 2: know how. 237 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 3: Much time the listing has been on, but it's fortune 238 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 3: twenty three million dollars. Again, not a lot of money 239 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 3: in real dollars, I mean half a billion dollars. We 240 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 3: gave Zelenski eighty billion dollars for Ukraine, so that puts 241 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 3: things in perspective. We could buy Greenland for half of 242 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 3: one billion dollars, so it does seem like a real steal. 243 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 2: But they may Go big. 244 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 3: I have been arguing for a long time. I broadcast 245 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 3: out of San Diego. My home radio station is KOGO 246 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 3: in San Diego, and we're constantly fighting with Baja California 247 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 3: because they the Tiwana can't seem to get a sewer 248 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 3: system or wastewater treatment facility working, and so they dump 249 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 3: it all into the South Bay in San Diego. And 250 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 3: it's a real problem, and it's been going on for years, 251 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 3: and no amount of negotiation, no amount of talking ever 252 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 3: seems to solve it. 253 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 2: And I have said for the longest time. 254 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 3: Let's just buy Baja as a real estate transaction. Let's 255 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 3: just buy it all. It will solve so many problems. 256 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 3: Let's just take it and develop it and make it 257 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 3: like southern California, like Cabo already looks like Newport Beach 258 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 3: in Orange County. Let's just make the whole peninsula look 259 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 3: like that. It isn't that expensive. And you've run the 260 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 3: same comp numbers that I just did. We could get 261 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 3: Baja cheaper than we got the Louisiana purchase because it's 262 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 3: just so much smaller and uh, and we wouldn't have 263 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 3: any of these problems. That's always been my solution. 264 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 265 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 3: Big Special Tomorrow, La Fires one year Later, hosted by 266 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 3: Michael Monk. 267 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 2: How long Iste? 268 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 3: How how long has Michael been working on this? 269 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 2: This is a big deal.

Host sucks. 345 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 6: No, I hate Skinny believe mcgimme a normal woman, not 346 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 6: a big cow, but just a normal woman. 347 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it, don't want the cow. I appreciate 348 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,479 Speaker 3: the call. If you're listening live, you can call us 349 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 3: using the talkback mic. That's the way we do things 350 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 3: now in talk radio. It's all on the phone, but 351 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 3: you're not on the phone. You just hit a little 352 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 3: red microphone on the app and it goes right into 353 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 3: the studio here. It's pretty amazing, absolutely amazing. So the 354 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 3: Greenland purchase is being teed up, and again I'm not 355 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 3: a big fan of this. I find these stories to 356 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 3: be distracting from the good things that are happening out 357 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 3: of this administration. I don't know if anybody noticed, but 358 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 3: the Dow Jones industrial average closed above forty nine thousand today. 359 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 3: You didn't hear about it, right, because everybody's talking about Venezuela. 360 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 3: There's a lot of things that are going on that 361 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 3: are really really good. Retailers are reporting fantastic Christmas numbers. 362 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 3: They did really well. They made their they made their numbers. 363 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 3: You went out and bought Christmas gifts for everybody. Everybody 364 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 3: got the Christmas gift they wanted. Santa brought all the 365 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 3: right toys. Ever, he's happy. The retailers are happy, and 366 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 3: you didn't hear about it. You know why people are 367 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:33,199 Speaker 3: talking about Venezuela? And interest rates are down, price of 368 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 3: food is coming down, the price of fuel is coming down. 369 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 3: Your gas prices are coming down, even in California, even here, 370 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 3: I saw gas prices down. I was in Huntington Beach 371 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 3: down in Orange County on Saturday and I saw three 372 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 3: eighty nine at Beach and Warner in Huntington Beach. 373 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it. 374 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 3: Now, it was a gas station that I never heard of, 375 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 3: like the Flying Brothers or something. But nevertheless, three eighty 376 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 3: nine in OC for gasoline. 377 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 2: That's good. I can live with that. But is anybody 378 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 2: talking about how great the gas prices are? 379 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 4: No? 380 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 2: You know why they're talking about Greenland. 381 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 3: So these ridiculous side stories detract from the really good news. 382 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 3: And if the concern is the upcoming midterm election, then 383 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 3: what people want to hear is the results of the administration, 384 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 3: and the results of the administration, at least in the first. 385 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 2: Three hundred and fifty one days, is good things. 386 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 3: Prices are coming down at the stores, the grocery prices 387 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 3: are coming down. When fuel prices come down, everything comes down. 388 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 3: The immediate way, the shortest line to bring making everything 389 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 3: more affordable, is by cutting the fuel cost. You know why, 390 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 3: if you have something, a truck brought it. Whatever it 391 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 3: is you have, I don't care what you have, Look 392 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 3: around you, around you, a truck brought it. Everything in 393 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 3: your house was brought by a truck. Everything in the 394 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 3: grocery store was brought there by a truck. Right All 395 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 3: your furniture in your house, the beds in your house, 396 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 3: the things on the kitchen counter in your house, it 397 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 3: was all. 398 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 2: Brought by a truck. 399 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 3: The car in your driveway was brought to the dealership 400 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 3: on a truck. So if you bring down the cost 401 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 3: of fuel, that brings down the cost of everything immediately. 402 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 2: And it happened, then you get. 403 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,239 Speaker 3: To work on inflation, and inflation is down, then you 404 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 3: get to work on unemployment. You fire a bunch of 405 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 3: federal workers and you make them go to work in 406 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 3: the real world. That's good. That's a double shot of 407 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 3: good because fewer federal workers means lower tax burden on 408 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 3: you don't have to pay the federal workers. Notice, we 409 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 3: fired an incredible amount of federal workers and everything's fine. 410 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 3: We've effectively eliminated the Department of Education and everything's fine. 411 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 3: We eliminated the Office of Usaid cut out for everything's fine. Right, 412 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 3: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is folded, and everything's fine. 413 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 3: It's really important to like quickly demonstrate how you can 414 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 3: close down entire federal agencies, get rid of all those 415 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 3: federal employees, and have everything be fine for the average taxpayer. 416 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 3: And the labor participation rate, that's really important. Labor participation 417 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 3: rates are really important number. You never hear about it. 418 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 3: You hear about unemployment benefit filings, which is people filing 419 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 3: for unemployment benefits. But the labor participation rate is the 420 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 3: amount of able bodied people who can work nothing wrong 421 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 3: with them, that are in the workforce. It was really 422 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 3: down during COVID, like in the low sixties, which is bad, 423 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 3: and it's rising again. That's really good. You didn't hear 424 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 3: about it. You know why people are talking about Venezuela. 425 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 3: So I don't want to talk about Venezuela, and I 426 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 3: don't want to talk about Greenland. And the sooner we 427 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 3: get I don't know whether they want to invade Greenland 428 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 3: or purchase it or flip it. 429 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 2: We'll get to, you know, Terrek and Christine to flip it. 430 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 2: I don't know. 431 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 3: Just just be done with the story and move on 432 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 3: and start talking about the good news, because there's a 433 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 3: lot of it out there. 434 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 435 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 3: Lou Penrose with you until ten George Norrian Coast to 436 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 3: Coast AM.

I'm not sure how it's going to 461 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 3: be set up, but it'll be covered for sure. 462 00:25:59,320 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 2: It's over. 463 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 3: It's in Palisade Village over Vie de la Pause. That's 464 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 3: where the speeches are going to be. 465 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 2: But a lot of people will be out there. 466 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 3: The mayor is up for reelection and I just don't 467 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 3: see how she survives this politically. Now, you can't beat 468 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 3: something with nothing, and right now there's nothing. But it 469 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 3: would not take much of a campaign to remind everybody 470 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,959 Speaker 3: in Los Angeles that they let us burn. I mean, 471 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 3: the narrative rights itself, and she doesn't, she doesn't push 472 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 3: back on that. Well, like it's not believable that she 473 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 3: was really competent that day. 474 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 2: It's just not believable to people that live in Los 475 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 2: Angeles and people watching from all. 476 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 3: Across southern California. And that's not cause you're not the 477 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 3: same political party. She's just not believable. She's not credible 478 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 3: at all. Like there are people that presided over terrible things, 479 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 3: natural disasters, man made disasters, terrorist attacks. There are leaders 480 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 3: that presided over those events, horrible events in their cities, 481 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 3: in their states. 482 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 2: And their credibility precedes them. Right, Mayor Bass is the opposite. 483 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 3: I mean, it looks like she's hiding more so, I 484 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 3: don't know how she politically recovers. But again, the political landscape, 485 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,199 Speaker 3: not just in the mayor's race in Los Angeles, but 486 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 3: the governor's race so fascinating to me in California really 487 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 3: is I've been doing politics for a long time. I 488 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 3: worked for three members of Congress, all from the State 489 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 3: of California Deputy chief of staff for fifteen years and 490 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 3: involved in political races, state wide political races and in 491 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 3: state assembling, state Senate races, congressional races. And I worked 492 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 3: on a number of presidential campaigns, so I know politics, 493 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 3: and I know California, and California is a really great 494 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 3: place to launch a national campaign. So being the governor 495 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 3: of California really good thing to be. And if you're 496 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 3: a Democrat in California, it's pretty easy. 497 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's made for you. 498 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 3: Hard for an independent, hard for a Republican, but if 499 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 3: you're a Democrat, it's pretty easy. And there is just 500 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 3: no Democrat lined up to be governor, not even close. 501 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 2: The field is. 502 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 3: I mean, it's bizarrely vacant. Katie Porter, that's going nowhere. 503 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 3: She's a class A bach and now everybody knows it. 504 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 3: Antonio Viragoza, that is a retread. I mean, if it 505 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 3: was twenty ten, maybe, but that's not happening. And well 506 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 3: Eric swawall forget about it. He would have broken through 507 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 3: by now. The Republican candidates are leading the pack as 508 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 3: we speak. Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton both ahead of 509 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 3: all the Democrats Tom Steyer, it's like the tree hugging guy, 510 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 3: like none of them are breaking through. 511 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 2: So and TikTok, TikTok. 512 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 3: It is only three hundred and one days until the 513 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 3: November election, so something has to break through or what's 514 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 3: going to happen? And if their Democrats don't coalesce around 515 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 3: one candidate, it will it will be a Republican on 516 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 3: weak Democrat race. 517 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 2: Now that still advantages Democrats, but I think. 518 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 3: LA is going to be an interesting component because I 519 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 3: think the Democrat vote for Karen Bass is going to 520 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 3: be depressed. I think she will drag down the Democrat vote. 521 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 3: There's nothing exciting about re electing Karen Bass. 522 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 2: Agreed. 523 00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 3: Nobody is racing out to cast their ballot for Karen Bass. 524 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 2: Now, you might be a good Democrat soldier. 525 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 3: And you're gonna go out there and vote for the 526 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 3: Democrat candidate because you're a good Democrat. 527 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 2: And I get that right. I'm a partisan too. 528 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 3: I'll vote for the letter are regardless of the candidate 529 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 3: because I am a partisan so and I expect Democrats 530 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 3: to do the same. So they'll always be that factor. 531 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 3: But that's not enough. Not in a city the size 532 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 3: of Los Angeles. So what happens is that causes a depression. 533 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 3: Democrats just basically sit home. That's what happened in the 534 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 3: national election. That's how Trump won the popular vote. It 535 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 3: wasn't that. I mean, he did run a very good campaign, 536 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 3: but the Democrat nobody was racing out to vote for 537 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris. The good Democrats foot soldiers just went out 538 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 3: and voted for whoever the Democrat was, and the rest 539 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 3: of the Democrat party was depressed, not suppressed, depressed, self depression. 540 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 2: They said, Eh, I don't know anything about this. 541 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 3: Kamala girl doesn't seem exciting to be I'll just sit 542 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 3: this one out and let everyone else decide. 543 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 2: And guess what everyone else did. 544 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 3: And Trump won the Electoral College, all seven battleground states 545 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 3: and the popular vote. 546 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 2: So two things happen in elections. 547 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 3: You have excitement for the winner and you have depression 548 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 3: for the loser. And I think Karen Bass drags down 549 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 3: the Democrat vote in LA which has a huge impact 550 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 3: on the statewide. 551 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 2: Vote for governor. 552 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 3: We'll see, it'll happen in less than three hundred and 553 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 3: one days from today.
