I'd love the radio geek on things. 333 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,719 Speaker 2: I'd love to talk radio philosophy. I love it. 334 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 3: I love it. I love it, I love it. I can. 335 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 3: I can geek out for hours on it. But here's 336 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 3: the thing. The most important thing that we in media 337 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 3: have news media. 338 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: I'm speaking of news media is our credibility. The absolute 339 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 2: most important thing is our credibility. It is It is 340 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 2: to news media as a liquor license is to your 341 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 2: favorite bar. 342 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 3: Without that license, they don't have liquor. 343 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 2: They're not a bar. Without credibility, we don't have news. 344 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 2: We don't have we don't have a news station. That's it. 345 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 2: Credibility is the absolute currency that we use. Credibility. Unfortunately, 346 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 2: a number of our contemporaries don't look at it that way. 347 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 2: They look at the business in a more mercurial sense. 348 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 2: How do we make money off of people? How do 349 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,959 Speaker 2: we feed people the junk food that they desire for 350 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 2: their brains? In order to get them to listen longer, 351 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 2: to watch more, to click on our links. How do 352 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 2: we do that, because that's the most important thing. Our currency. 353 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 2: Their currency is views, clicks, shares, retweets. It's all about 354 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 2: the ratings. I'm more of the old school philosophy, and look, 355 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 2: I'm a dinosaur, and I get it. I one hundred 356 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 2: percent understand this. But I'm the old school philosophy that says, look, 357 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 2: if I got something good, do it right, do it well, 358 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 2: do it that way every single day, and people will 359 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 2: come back. That's that's been my philosophy my entire career. Right, 360 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 2: do it right, do it well, and do it consistently, 361 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 2: people will come back. It sounds simple, but it's hard. 362 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 2: We work out it every single day. Unfortunately, other people 363 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 2: don't look at it that way. They go, it doesn't 364 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 2: have to be quality it it has to elicit an 365 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 2: emotional response, which is important, but they're putting that above 366 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 2: everything else. That's why you see some of these incredible 367 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 2: news sources that spike. They have these big ratings and 368 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 2: then they do something stupid and then they get sued 369 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 2: for a billion dollars and then they vanish or they 370 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 2: upset the wrong talking head and then they vanish, whereas remarkably, 371 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 2: we're seeing a number of the mainstream media outlets who 372 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 2: the President identifies, points them out, says they are the enemy. 373 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 2: And yet it's still these mainstream media outlets that are 374 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 2: creating the content that the others are lapping up and 375 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 2: using to create their own content. If you're somebody who 376 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,479 Speaker 2: watches Fox News, I see this, I've got I've got 377 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 2: Fox on, I've got Fox News Nation, CNN, and then 378 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: sometimes one of the other hosts will put MSNBC on. 379 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 2: He just wants to see all of them on the 380 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 2: monitors in my studio for my day job, And so 381 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 2: I see Fox on there all the time. And I 382 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 2: can't tell you how much of Fox's content is made 383 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 2: up of criticizing their competitors content. Look what CNN did, 384 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 2: Look what MSNBC did, Look what they're doing today. Look 385 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 2: what they did today. Can you believe that? Look what 386 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 2: the New York Times did, Look what the Washington Post 387 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 2: is saying. So much of what they do is content 388 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 2: that is simply reaction to actual journalism. So if you're 389 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 2: a young person and you're being told Fox News is this, 390 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 2: and you're seeing that what they present as news is commentary, 391 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 2: and we don't necessarily do a very good job of 392 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 2: differentiating between commentary and news. And I'll tell you that 393 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 2: sometimes it's hard to see what you know, where's the line, 394 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 2: what is entertainment? What is news? Take a look at 395 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 2: the daily show, what is entertainment? What is news? Take 396 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 2: a look at last week tonight? What is entertainment? What 397 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 2: is news? And then that a lot of it tends 398 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 2: to fall into a category known as infotainment, which can 399 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 2: be very confusing to younger generations. But when you're seeing 400 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 2: news as commentary, or rather when you're seeing commentary presented 401 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 2: as news, yeah, it can feel like it doesn't have credibility. 402 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 2: It can feel like the facts are being then manipulated. 403 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 2: It can feel like it's not being fact checked, it 404 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 2: can feel like errors are not being corrected. We in 405 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 2: media need to do a better job of that. I 406 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 2: think mainstream media largely, and many of you are gonna 407 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 2: get mad at me for this, I don't care, but 408 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 2: I think many many mainstream media sources do a good job. 409 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 2: If they get it wrong, they correct it. Read an 410 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 2: article and see at the bottom where it says correction. 411 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 2: It'll be even something little. It'll be like you know, 412 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 2: earlier misspelled so and so's name, correction. 413 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 3: Take a look at the fact checking. Now you may 414 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 3: not agree with the. 415 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 2: Perspective, but from a journalists standpoint, purely analyzing the journalism, 416 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 2: is it wrong. Whether or not you agree with the 417 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 2: perspective is beside. The point is the journalism incorrect. Here's 418 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 2: where I think it's very difficult for the younger generation. 419 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 2: And again, these are teenagers aged thirteen to eighteen, and 420 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 2: eighty four percent of them don't trust news. A part 421 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 2: of that has to do with them thinking it's boring. 422 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 2: But one of the words that they use when they 423 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 2: talked about the news was fake. Ten years ago, we 424 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 2: didn't have a phrase called fake news. It didn't exist. 425 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 2: There was no such thing as fake news. It's an oxymoron. 426 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 2: And then somebody came along and said fake news, you 427 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 2: can't believe that, you can't trust it. And now we've 428 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 2: gone so far as to actually put together a government 429 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 2: sponsored website to identify news outlets that the administration doesn't like. 430 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 2: This is from the press briefing with Catherine Levitt. 431 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 9: The White House today launched a new fake news quortal, which. 432 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 3: I found interesting what is your objective. 433 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 9: With that ultimately, and are you going to name the 434 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 9: news networks and are you also going to name some 435 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 9: of the correspondents so which maybe here today, Yes. 436 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 5: We are. 437 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 3: I'm glad. 438 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 11: I'm glad you noticed, much to the dismay of some 439 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 11: of your colleagues in the room, John, and I think 440 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 11: it goes. 441 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 3: To our original Wow, she just called out that reporter 442 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 3: by name. Wow. 443 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 11: You rational promise on day one to hold the media 444 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 11: accountable because unfortunately, and we deal with this all day 445 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 11: every day around here, there are so many fake stories 446 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 11: that are unfortunately written, have inaccurate and characterizations of meetings 447 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 11: that took place, and it's all based on anonymous sourcing. 448 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 11: And you know, the standard for journalism unfortunately has dropped 449 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 11: to such a historic low in this country. And again, 450 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 11: we deal with it every day where you can have 451 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 11: an anonymous source who has no idea what they're talking about, 452 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 11: zero credibility, call up a reporter in Washington and say hey, 453 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 11: I heard this, and then the next thing you know, 454 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 11: it's on the front page of the New York Times. 455 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: Okay, So she's accusing the journalistic standards of dropping. Now, 456 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 2: that is a spokesperson for the highest office in the world. Now, 457 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: if you're a fourteen year old and that's what you 458 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 2: hear about news media, what are you to think. You're 459 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 2: being told that the journalistic standards in this country have 460 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 2: dropped to an all time low, that they're biased, that 461 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 2: it's fake, that it's confusing, that they don't check their facts, 462 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 2: that they manipulate their facts, that they don't correct their errors, 463 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 2: that they're not doing the due diligence. Unfortunately, with the 464 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 2: fourteen year old can't necessarily rationalize is that what you're 465 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 2: hearing from the spokesperson is not gospel truth either. That's 466 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 2: the opinion of the White House, which is why if 467 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 2: you're a teenager, you also don't trust government. You don't 468 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 2: trust the administration, not this administration, any administration. In other words, 469 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 2: I think we're at I've always considered what I thought 470 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: would be the most dangerous threat to my industry is 471 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 2: a credibility crisis, and I think we're there. I don't 472 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 2: think that authority figures, be it media, be it celebrities 473 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 2: on TV, be it celebrities on TikTok, be it celebrities 474 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 2: in the White House. I don't think they have the 475 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 2: credibility that they've had in the past. And I think 476 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 2: in many cases that's because we've all been chasing clout 477 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 2: and not credibility. 478 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 3: And that's on us, all right. You gather, you gather 479 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 3: for the holidays, You take a deep. 480 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 2: Breath, you smell that turkey, you hold hands with the 481 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 2: family as you get ready to sit around that table. 482 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 2: Maybe you did it last week, maybe you're planning on 483 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 2: doing it coming up in a couple of weeks. And then, 484 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 2: oh god, it's the winter vomiting bug. 485 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. 486 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 2: Boy, if you haven't tried this before, you got to 487 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 2: give it a shot. You'll find out what the winter 488 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 2: vomiting bug really is.

We do expect that we're gonna 525 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 2: crest a million dollars because we're waiting on the numbers 526 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 2: from our partners Wendy's and UH and UH Smart and 527 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 2: Final stores and the casino and all the others too. 528 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 2: So yeah, looking forward that you guys are amazing those 529 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 2: of you that made those donations. 530 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 3: There is a bug going around. Oh it's going around. Oh. 531 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 2: I used to work with the old lady. Every day 532 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 2: she talked about, oh that was going around. It didn't 533 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 2: matter if it was spring, summer, fall, winter. Somebody would 534 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 2: have a sniffle and she'd go, Wow, it's going around. 535 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 2: And that's because she always knew somebody that was sick, 536 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 2: so that it's always going around. So I guess the 537 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 2: neurovirus is exploding. According to the CITC, I don't know 538 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 2: how they know anything since we cut their budget done 539 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 2: to nothing, but evidently somebody is still in there reading 540 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 2: their voicemails or something. The neurovirus, they say, is exploding 541 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 2: ahead of schedule this winter, cases of doubling in recent weeks. 542 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 2: Test positivity last December hitting twenty five percent, meaning if 543 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 2: you are suspected of having the neurovirus and they test 544 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 2: you for it, then it's twenty five percent. It's not 545 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 2: as the twenty five percent of us have it. It 546 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 2: strikes fast, they say, twelve to forty eight hours after exposure, 547 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 2: intense vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration, especially for children and older adults. 548 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 10: Yeah. 549 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the one. 550 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 2: Where well it's going around and they always say, well, 551 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 2: it's coming out of both ends. 552 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 3: Thank you. 553 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 2: That's pleasant. That's absolutely wonderful. Appreciate that visual. They call 554 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 2: it the winter vomiting disease for obvious reasons. Isn't this 555 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 2: the one that they're always terrified of, this ending up 556 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 2: on the cruise ships. That's exactly right, Yeah, because you're 557 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 2: stuck on the cruise ship and then all of a 558 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 2: sudden they end up with the bathrooms backing up from 559 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 2: people having problems, and it spread so quickly, right. That's 560 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 2: the other one too, is that it just spread so 561 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 2: fast that it's not if you're on a cruise ship, 562 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 2: your your host. Remember the first COVID outbreak here in 563 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 2: the in the US was came in on a cruise ship. 564 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 2: Because once you're in a confined space, and what are 565 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 2: you gonna do? 566 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 3: I guess open a window.
