As you know, I have suffered from 58 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 4: really debilitating migraines pretty much my entire life, and turkey 59 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 4: is real bad for people who suffer from migraines, the 60 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 4: chemicals and turkey. So I always off for a ham 61 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 4: every year, and everybody knows it come to my house 62 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 4: that they're not going to get turkey, They're going to 63 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 4: get Haim And it seems to be a fan favorite anyway. 64 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: I like that idea.

She is one of America's great swimmers and 75 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: great athletes. She's also a leader at the Leadership Institute. 76 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: She's our good friend Roddy Gaines, and she joins us now. 77 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: By the way, check out her podcast, Gains for Girls 78 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: is on OutKick, one of the best in the country. 79 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: Riley, Happy Thanksgiving. Thanks for joining us. 80 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 5: Well, happy Thanksgiving to you. And let me tell you 81 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 5: you introed me as a swimmer, John, I am a 82 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 5: swimmer nowadays. 83 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: I like that you are somebody fairly extraordinary. That shows 84 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: that if you just stand up for your values right, 85 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: if you just say something and say this isn't right, 86 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: this isnt America, you can start a movement. I just 87 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: think about the way this election played out. Are you 88 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: surprised how often the debate of transgenderism and women in 89 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: sports became an issue in the fall election. 90 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 5: Honestly, no, I'm not surprised at all, as someone who 91 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 5: has had pretty great understanding of, of course, what this 92 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 5: issue means, how it impacts women, how harmful it is, 93 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 5: how severe it is, the trajectory of where we were 94 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 5: headed as a nation, someone who is pretty tuned in, 95 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 5: I'm not surprised, and I'll tell you why it matters, 96 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 5: why it matters so much, to why it should matter 97 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 5: to every single person. And again, I think what we 98 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 5: saw in the different tolling demographics and numbers. It matters 99 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 5: because if you have leaders who are willing to look 100 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 5: at you and confidently say that men can become women, 101 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 5: then you shouldn't trust a ward that comes out of 102 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 5: their mouth on any single topic because their credibility has 103 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 5: been entirely compromised. 104 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: Great point, Riley. 105 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 4: I got a text the week after the election from 106 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 4: someone who I knew pretty well. I didn't know well 107 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 4: enough to know her political leanings. I kind of suspected 108 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 4: that she was on the left, but I got a 109 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 4: text from her and she said, I have voted Democrat 110 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 4: my entire life, but I don't want my thirteen year 111 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 4: old junior Olympian to be in a locker room with boys. 112 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 4: How many other moms out there do you think, leading 113 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 4: into this election voted on that issue because of their 114 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 4: thirteen or fifteen or nine year old daughter. 115 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 5: I can't even tell you how many people to your 116 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 5: point who have told me, you know, they described themselves 117 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 5: as lifelong liberals, even a lot of people who identify 118 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 5: as part of the LGBTQ community to say, look, this 119 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 5: has just gone way too far. We have abandoned common 120 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 5: sense and reality and objective truth and protecting women. You know, 121 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 5: how does this party who claims to be pro woman, 122 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 5: how can they claim to defend women when they can't 123 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 5: even define what a woman is? 124 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,239 Speaker 2: Isn't that amazing? It's just crazy. 125 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: Obviously, with all of the efforts, there is resistance. I 126 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: know there's been some boycotts saying did you tell us 127 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: what you've had to go through to get to this 128 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: point of victory and get this debate on the forefront 129 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: of the American consciousness. 130 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 4: Yeah? 131 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 5: Well, let me tell you a movement is now in 132 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 5: motion seeing these teams. I know the Conference Mountain West 133 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 5: Conference Championships is happening this week Thanksgiving week, Seeing San 134 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 5: Jose State University with a record of fourteen and five 135 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 5: going into this conference championships. But seven of these fourteen 136 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 5: wins are illegitimate given to their record because of forfeits 137 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 5: from other teams, which, let me just be very clear, 138 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 5: every win, every loss on their record is illegitimate because 139 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,239 Speaker 5: they have a man on their team. But to see 140 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 5: young women now at every level, I mean middle schoolers. 141 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 5: We saw it in West Virginia, we saw high school 142 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 5: teams in California, New Hampshire. Of course, college teams, even 143 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 5: professional athletes, all willing to hold the line to acknowledge 144 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 5: that some things matter more than victory, safety in the 145 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 5: integrity of sport being one of those things. To see 146 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 5: these women with such brave and leaderships defend not just 147 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 5: themselves but the next generation of women to come, we 148 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 5: wouldn't have seen this two years ago, which is further 149 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 5: proof that the culture is shifting and that cancel culture 150 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 5: is certainly losing its grip. 151 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 4: I certainly hope so for female athletes out there who 152 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 4: may not necessarily want to get directly involved because maybe 153 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 4: they don't feel like they have the station in their 154 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 4: sport yet to really speak out and have an impact 155 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 4: what's the best way that they can affect this movement. 156 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 5: Well, first of all, it's important to know that everyone, 157 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 5: regardless of how big your social media following is, regardless 158 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 5: of anything, really, everyone has a circle of influence. And 159 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 5: so my advice to everyone, old, young man, woman, black, white, gay, 160 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 5: shrade doesn't matter. My advice to everyone is to speak boldly. 161 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 5: To stop feeling like you have to walk on eggshells 162 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 5: when stating that men and women are different, or that 163 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 5: there are only two sexes, or that you can't change 164 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 5: your sex, or that each sex is deserving of equal 165 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 5: opportunity of privacy and of safety. So talk about this 166 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 5: number one, And I think secondly, something that people can do. 167 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 5: I think people think, you know, we only have the 168 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 5: ability to vote every four years, that's the only time 169 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 5: we can make change. No, you have the ability to 170 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 5: vote every single day, and you can do that with 171 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 5: your dollars. So some I'm giving money to organizations into 172 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 5: people that hate you quite frankly, yeah, that's good advice. 173 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: We do vote every day with our dollars, with our 174 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: eyeballs where we read, and those are important decisions we 175 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: have to start to think about. 176 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 6: Rally. 177 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: I want to ask a little bit about Title nine. 178 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: Obviously it's a little bit in limbo. And now that 179 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is a lame Doug and Kamala Harris is 180 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: leaving the White assume, what do you think will happen 181 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: after the first year when President Trump comes in? How 182 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: does the Title nine get back to protecting women's sports 183 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: instead of expanding into something it was never envisioned to beat. 184 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 5: Well, I'm hoping President Trump uses his executive power as 185 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 5: president to enforce Title nine as it originally stood, of course, 186 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 5: an active fifty two years ago, with the intention of 187 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 5: providing equal opportunities for both sexes. The word sex itself 188 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 5: has become entirely conflated and misconstrued, and we have unelected 189 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 5: bureaucrats and officials going through the back door and interpreting 190 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 5: this word to mean what they want it to mean. So, 191 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 5: along with enforcing Title nine, I would love to see 192 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 5: the President introduce federal legislation and again take executive power 193 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 5: in defining these sex based terms, words like woman, words 194 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 5: like man, male, female, mother, father, again, defining gender identity 195 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 5: versus the word sex. I think all of these things 196 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 5: are important in taking back our language, which in turn 197 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 5: is taking back our culture. 198 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 4: Absolutely, Riley, if Congress leads the way, because we now 199 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 4: have this conversation up on Capitol Hill about the bathroom, 200 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 4: because there is now a transgender congressman who's going to 201 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 4: be taking office in January. If Congress passes something that 202 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 4: not only clearly defines male and female, but says men 203 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 4: you can't go to the bathroom in the women's bathroom, 204 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 4: and vice versa, do you think that that will set 205 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 4: a precedent that maybe school systems will follow, possibly even 206 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 4: sports league. 207 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 5: I think so. I think these what we've been why 208 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 5: our nation is in decline, other than the fact that 209 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 5: we've become a godless society, is because we're led by 210 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 5: weak leaders. We have leaders who don't want to take accountability, 211 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 5: and they don't want to take responsibility they want to 212 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 5: It's like the whole finger pointing game. Everyone wants to 213 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 5: point the finger at someone else. Well, I'm just following 214 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 5: their rules, and I'm just following their rules, and they're 215 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 5: just following their rules. So I think if Congress, the 216 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 5: federal government, if they take decisive action in this way, 217 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 5: I think it allows for states, it allows for local governments, 218 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 5: It allows for school boards to even almost continue sitting 219 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 5: on their hands and say, sorry, we're just following what 220 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 5: the federal government is saying, which oftentimes I think these 221 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 5: people are looking for. They want to do the right thing, 222 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 5: they really do, but they're terrified. They're scared of losing 223 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 5: federal funding. They're scared of lawsuits, they're scared of any 224 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 5: sort of pushback that they might receive. So if they 225 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 5: can put that back on someone else, it gives them 226 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 5: the ability to do the right thing. So I think 227 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 5: if Congress says this, it will certainly set the standard 228 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 5: for other entities, other governing bodies and states to follow. 229 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, so important rally. 230 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: Two and a half years ago, big event in your life. 231 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: You've gotten married. 232 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: Your husband's had been on quite a journey trying to 233 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: get his US citizenship. Tell us a little bit about 234 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: what's been going on there. 235 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 5: It's been so funny because he has been just the 236 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 5: biggest supporter of me over these past two and a 237 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 5: half years. But as of this week, he's kind of 238 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 5: gotten some national attention himself because of actually a video 239 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 5: I made that Elon Musk tweeted out talking about our 240 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 5: immigration system. And so just a very brief background, he's 241 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 5: been in the country for six years. He came over 242 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 5: here for college, we got married two and a half 243 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 5: years ago, and has been crickets from USCIS or Immigration Services, 244 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 5: meaning and applying for his green card. They haven't, I mean, 245 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 5: we've received nothing. He's still here legally. Let me be 246 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 5: very clear. That doesn't mean he is here illegally. He's 247 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 5: here legally. There are other ways for residency outside of 248 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 5: a green card, whether that's visa, advanced parole, work authorization, whatever. 249 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 5: He's here legally. But I made the point in making 250 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 5: that video that our government has made it so hard 251 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 5: for legal immigrants who are hard working, who pay taxes, 252 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 5: who love this country, people like my husband. They've made 253 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 5: it so hard for them to be in this nation, 254 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 5: as opposed to how easy they have made it for 255 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 5: illegal immigrants to just walk across the southern border. They're 256 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 5: given housing, they're given a driver's license, they're given money oftentimes, 257 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 5: and they're given citizenship. And so, while we certainly need 258 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 5: to reform immigration services in terms of national security and 259 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 5: border security, of course we need to perform the legal 260 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 5: immigration process. So people like my husband, who do things 261 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 5: the right way again, who loves America, have the ability 262 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 5: to thrive and succeed. That's what makes America so great. 263 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 2: It's amazing, just amazing, Riley. 264 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 1: We're cooking for folks who want to follow your great 265 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: work as a director of the Riley Gains Center at 266 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: the Leadership Institute or your great podcast on OutKick. 267 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 2: What's the best way to stay in touch with it? 268 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 7: That's right. 269 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 5: You can check it out at the Rillyganinscenter dot org. 270 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 5: And also you can check out Gains for Girls, my 271 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 5: podcast with OutKick on OutKick dot com.

John and I are so happy to be 285 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 4: spending some of Thanksgiving. 286 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 3: Holiday with all of you. 287 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 4: However, there are some people in America who are not 288 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 4: very happy about Thanksgiving at all. 289 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 3: They say that it is a. 290 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 4: Holiday that glorifies everything terrible about our country, like genocide 291 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 4: and racism. And you guess what I'm talking about, Yeah, 292 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 4: the mainstream media, news and Hollywood too. Actually they don't 293 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 4: seem to like Thanksgiving very much. But why while joining 294 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 4: us now is a breakdown some of these examples. Is 295 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 4: the managing editor for NewsBusters over at the Media Research Center, Curtis, 296 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 4: Thanks so much for being here. 297 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 3: Happy Thanksgiving to you. 298 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 9: Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Amanda. Always pleasure likewise. 299 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 4: And you know, I love when I hear these talking 300 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 4: points from liberals about colonization and racism and genocide, and 301 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 4: I just think to myself, you know, they were just 302 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 4: refugees looking for a better life, looking to bring diversity 303 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 4: and inclusion. 304 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 10: Don't be a bigot, You're right, yeah, bringing fresh and 305 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 10: new ideas to a land that had not heard any 306 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 10: of these things before. 307 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 11: Now. 308 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 10: It's interesting how just a few different changes in different 309 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 10: time periods can change a liberal's perspective about what's going 310 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 10: on here in the power dynamics. I think the liberal 311 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 10: media's hatred of Thanksgiving goes to a deeper issue that 312 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 10: we're seeing this month following the election, Amanda, where it's 313 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 10: just a general emptiness from liberals. It's desperation and it's 314 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 10: really sad. You see people leaving Elon Musk's ex liberals 315 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 10: that is to go to this blue sky or Mastadon 316 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,239 Speaker 10: world where they can go and have their priors confirmed. 317 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 10: You know, we as conservatives and MAGA supporters, we have 318 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 10: to deal with people who don't think like us every 319 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 10: single day and we learn that like we're better for that, 320 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 10: like our ideas are actually challenged and buttressed, and we 321 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 10: get to really think about what it is that we believe. 322 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 10: And that goes for a lot of us also to 323 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 10: our faiths that you know, it's our differences are something 324 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 10: that should be celebrated and we can be brought together 325 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 10: and that there's more to life. And for liberals, their 326 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 10: entire identity is not Christ or another religion. It is 327 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 10: politics for many of them. So I think Thanksgiving is 328 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 10: part of that where level the idea and the spirit 329 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 10: of thankfulness kind of goes by the wayside, because if 330 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 10: the after politics they don't really have a ton to 331 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 10: be grateful for because their identity is based in their 332 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 10: skin color and their political views. 333 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, oh gosh, that's so true, and I love I 334 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 4: love that you said that because that gets into almost 335 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 4: the philosophy side of things. And I think that's that's 336 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 4: so desperately true that when it comes to politics, that's 337 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 4: really all they can. 338 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 3: Hang their hat on. 339 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 4: And you know, I actually love Thanksgiving because I too, 340 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 4: actually like to bring politics into everything, even so it 341 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 4: is in the core of who I am. 342 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 3: But I love to use Thanksgiving. 343 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 4: To have a conversation about the stolen land fallacy because 344 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 4: you know, you look at history back into antiquity and 345 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 4: the way that armies and warriors operated you acquire the 346 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 4: land of your defeated foe. And I mean this goes 347 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 4: back to the Persians, the Greeks, the Egyptians, the Chinese, 348 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 4: I mean, back into antiquity, and yes, even Native Americans. 349 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 4: And so I always tend to turn it political, but 350 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 4: when you have a real hard historical conversation with these 351 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 4: people about the facts, it's really hard for them to 352 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 4: stay on their side because it's you know, it's hypocritical. 353 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 10: Oh, because the white people did this, and the white 354 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 10: people had the guns, and these kinds of you know, 355 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 10: sort of grab issues, the sorts of hysterics that they 356 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 10: keep throwing up into the air instead of accepting the fact, 357 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 10: you know, looking at human behavior and psychology that no 358 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 10: matter where you are, or what kind of groups of 359 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 10: people you had, or the levels of technology that they 360 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 10: had or advancements, people at their core, this is kind 361 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 10: of how things have operated going back to antiquity, going 362 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 10: back to biblical times, that this is, unfortunately what happens. 363 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 10: And you know, if you look at Native American history, 364 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 10: that was what happened too. There were larger tribes that 365 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 10: would go to war against the smaller tribes and so 366 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 10: on and so forth. 367 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 11: So the left doesn't want to even have this conversation. 368 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 10: They don't even want to look past that to the 369 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 10: spirit of Thanksgiving and what it is supposed to be about, 370 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 10: about bringing people together and enjoying amazing food. But you know, 371 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 10: they don't really want to have nice things, you know, 372 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 10: they want to be those perpetually annoying folks that you know, 373 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 10: I think really started you could say during the Obama era. 374 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's that's spot on, And I want to 375 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 4: use some of these examples because it's Thanksgiving and we 376 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 4: shouldn't laugh a little. So you're here's a piece of 377 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 4: MSNBC's joy read talking about the Thanksgiving myth and what 378 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 4: it washes away. 379 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 2: Check us out. 380 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 7: For millions of Americans, it's a day of Cherish traditions, 381 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 7: and as Americans, we certainly value those traditions, but it's 382 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 7: also important to unpack the myth of Thanksgiving. It is 383 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 7: a holiday riddled with historical inaccuracies, built on this myth 384 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 7: that the Indigenous welcomed their colonizers with open arms and 385 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 7: ears of corn, a simplistic, fairy tale interpretation of a 386 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 7: sixteen to twenty one encounter between Indigenous tribes and English 387 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 7: settlers that erases the genocide that followed. It's the truth 388 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 7: Republicans want banned from our textbooks, because here's the secret 389 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 7: they want so desperately to keep. We are a country 390 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 7: founded on violence. 391 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 6: Our birth was violent. 392 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 7: In sixteen nineteen, a ship with more than twenty enslaved 393 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 7: Africans landed in Virginia, ushering in two centuries of American 394 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 7: slavery that left millions in chains. 395 00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 9: Are dead. 396 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 7: Those humans in bondage were finally free a terrorist organization 397 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 7: that was a card carrying member of polite society. The 398 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 7: ku Klux Klan, picked up where the civil war ended. 399 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 3: Mmm. 400 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 4: Okay again, I'm going to go back to the notion 401 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 4: that to the victor goes the spoil. That's why that's 402 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 4: a thing. And I mean, I suppose that if you 403 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 4: want to talk about the violence aspect of this. Sure, 404 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 4: in the case of our country, it was black slaves, 405 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 4: but white people have been slaves in places like Macedonia 406 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 4: and Turkey, and the list goes on and on. It 407 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 4: seems to me, curtis that the one of the major 408 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 4: themes of this conversation of thanksgiving, of the mass migration 409 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 4: of Europeans across the Atlantic. 410 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 3: The good the best argument here. 411 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 4: This is an argument against open borders, isn't it. 412 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 11: Yeah, And it goes to religious persecution. 413 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 9: You know, like we're not gonna we're not going to 414 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 9: talk about that or anything like that. 415 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 10: You know, a couple of things with Jory Reid.

Do you have hope that maybe even 531 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 4: a little bit culturally, not just politically as we saw 532 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 4: on election night, but maybe culturally things will move in 533 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 4: a different direction, because again, I mean Donald Trump on 534 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 4: the popular vote. This is these are not unpopular ideas 535 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 4: to love your country and to cherish every aspect of 536 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 4: our history. 537 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 11: Yeah. 538 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 10: I feel like this goes wider to a wider issue, Amanda, 539 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 10: that sometimes for some of us to really get the 540 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 10: picture in our lives, sometimes you really got to sink low. 541 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 10: Sometimes you gotta hit rock bottom before you can build 542 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,959 Speaker 10: your way back up or rediscover who you are. This 543 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 10: goes to a lot of people's faith journeys as well. 544 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 10: And I think that's really a commentary to our country 545 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 10: as well, that the kind of things you just played 546 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 10: in those clips are just so far gone and just 547 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 10: so absurd when it comes to, you know, the shows 548 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 10: that we watch in the entertainment that we consume. That yes, 549 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 10: of course, those kinds of things teach us life lessons 550 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 10: and teach us about human behavior and that we're not 551 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 10: alone in having certain feelings, but that just the drumbeat 552 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 10: of constant politicization, especially network entertainment has been soundly rejected 553 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 10: based on streaming, and you know, angel studios shout them out. 554 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 10: The Bonhoffer film that just came out is just a 555 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 10: phenomenal film. 556 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 11: I just a plug to them. 557 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 10: But I think those kinds of things and other forms 558 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 10: of entertainment that we're seeing, you know, go to show 559 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 10: that there's options out there, while the internet's a good 560 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,239 Speaker 10: thing and censorship is bad, but also that you know, 561 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 10: the American people are kind of coming back to center 562 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 10: and that you would hope and pray that there's a 563 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,239 Speaker 10: revival in this country, not just politically but at a 564 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 10: more fundamental level in terms of you know, cohesion and 565 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 10: the importance of family and togetherness and community that we lost, 566 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 10: if not before then was exacerbated by COVID. 567 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, if anything, the election showed that the 568 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,719 Speaker 4: American people are tired of being told that they are evil, 569 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 4: that they are wrong for caring about, you know, not 570 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 4: being able to spend what they want on groceries and 571 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 4: gas when they're seeing illegal immigrants across the border getting 572 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 4: their little care packages and brand new backpacks with debit cards. 573 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 4: I think that it was probably a pretty steering indictment 574 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 4: on that attitude, and people are. 575 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 3: Ready to be told that America is good again. 576 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 4: And speaking of good, Emma MRC, you guys do a 577 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 4: lot of great work over there at NewsBusters.

It's great to hear that. 609 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 2: You know. 610 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 16: It's interesting when Mark Joseph, who the record producer, called 611 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 16: me about that. It called me like a year and 612 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 16: a half ago before the film came out before I 613 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 16: even know who the actor was gonna play Reagan and 614 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 16: and I just kind of put it on the backshelf, 615 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 16: didn't worry about it. So Ronald Reagan and Mike Curb 616 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 16: evident we were sitting around having a sandwich or coffee 617 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 16: or something, and they tried to jop this song down 618 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 16: and it really I mean, you know, it was okay, 619 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 16: but it didn't have any merit. It just didn't go anywhere. 620 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 16: And I told Marcus, I'll tell you what, I'll rewrite 621 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 16: the song. I'll rewrite the lyrics, but I'll only lose 622 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 16: two lyric choices. And that's the title of the song, 623 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 16: which would responsible for the two artists, Reagan and Curb, 624 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 16: and it would be called Start the World Over Again. 625 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 16: And the second thing, I'm going to include the line 626 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 16: that the beacon of hope, that America is a beacon 627 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 16: of hope, because I remember Reagan saying that, and so 628 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 16: so that's all, you know. I recorded the master and 629 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 16: delivered it to him. I don't think it's been released yet, 630 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 16: but that's the first time I've heard it played since then. 631 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 2: Amazing, just amazing. 632 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: I know you've watched Hollywood have to adapt over the 633 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: years and it moved far to left, as did a 634 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: lot of country music even but it seems like the 635 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: Reagan movie the album, which I know is going to 636 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: do really well. The things John Rich is doing there 637 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: is an interesting countertug back to where country music fans 638 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: I think often find themselves. Are you seeing some changes 639 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: in the industry right now? 640 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 16: Well, it always turns over every five six years. It's 641 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 16: because of the younger generation. Adbuys most of the music, are 642 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 16: now in this case downloads most of the music. They 643 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 16: want to have their own stars, and each star produces 644 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 16: a new song that brings to another era. But it's 645 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 16: good music. I mean, it's fast paced. And just saw 646 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 16: the CMA show the other night. I don't know that 647 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 16: it was all country that much. It's a fantastic show, 648 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 16: and it represents a Country Music Association, which of course 649 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 16: is very powerful in Nashville. Time to see and we 650 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 16: all love that show. We love what it do, what 651 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 16: it does. 652 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 2: For the industry. 653 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 16: But country music just keeps turning over. I still have 654 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 16: to think that songs are great, but you won't have 655 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 16: very many ballads anymore. It kind of goes with a 656 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 16: fast pace of life and life is really quicker, and 657 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 16: that's why you've probably heard the new rock version of 658 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 16: God Bless the USA. 659 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 2: Yes, it's the same thing. 660 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 16: We're moving forward with time and playing for another generation. 661 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 3: I love it. 662 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 2: I love it. 663 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 3: We actually have a piece of that. 664 00:32:27,400 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 4: So let's let's play that now. That is awesome, awesome, 665 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 4: I love that so much, Lee. Two and a half 666 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 4: weeks ago before the election, I think a lot of 667 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 4: us were kind of on pins and needles, wondering what 668 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 4: the fate of this next administration was going to be, 669 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 4: if President Trump was going to have a second term 670 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 4: in the Oval office, and along with that, we were 671 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 4: all unsure about the patriotism of this country. But as 672 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 4: President Trump won the White House, he won the popular vote, 673 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 4: the Republicans kept the House, Republicans had the Senate. Does 674 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 4: it feel like patriotism maybe is making a comeback? 675 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 16: Well, without a doubt. I mean, there are a lot 676 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 16: of things that happened just to kind of bring focus 677 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 16: on that. After President Trump was an attempt at assassination 678 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 16: in Butler, Pennsylvania. He had about sixteen thousand people there 679 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 16: that I went back again to Butler on a rally 680 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 16: and I sang for him on stage. There, there was 681 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 16: at least forty thousand people. Then in the audience. It 682 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 16: showed to me people were like, not just concerned, but 683 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 16: they showed that they're like for him. They showed how 684 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 16: much strength he had to go fight, fight, fight. 685 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 2: You know. 686 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 16: It's like they tried to kill me. But I'm not 687 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 16: going away. You know, I believe in America and I'm 688 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 16: a patriot. I will tell you President Trump is a patriot. 689 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 16: I promise you. 690 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no doubt. 691 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: So I want to ask a little bit about staying power. 692 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: This song that you wrote on its fortieth anniversary, now 693 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: forty years for one song to constantly be relevant is remarkable, 694 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: and you yourself always being in the forefront of country music. 695 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,760 Speaker 1: What's the key to that longevity? How have you managed 696 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: that for both this song and also for all the 697 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: great work your body work is done? 698 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 2: Well? 699 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 16: Thank you for saying that. I think one of the 700 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,359 Speaker 16: things that people have to recognize is that even though 701 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 16: my song God Bless the USA has resisted to go away, 702 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 16: I still sing it and I sing it live, and 703 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 16: so I'm the same artist. And until I stopped singing it, 704 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 16: I don't think it go away. Now it may go 705 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 16: down in history as America, The Beautiful God Bless America 706 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 16: and other songs that did adore America's history and what 707 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 16: it stands for. But I wrote purposely to be for 708 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 16: all time. If tomorrow all the things were gone, I'd 709 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 16: work for all my life. That is like an American dream. 710 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 16: That is what Americans do. And when immigrants come here 711 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 16: from another country and they're looking for that beacon of freedom, 712 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 16: there's a place here that they can start their life, 713 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 16: no matter how destitute they were. I've been down in 714 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 16: my life. I've been in Los Angeles and had nothing 715 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 16: for a couple of years, and I said I'm going 716 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 16: to start again, and I did and rose to success. 717 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,280 Speaker 16: And so that's possible because this country is free. Second 718 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 16: thing is God bless us say stands for the military, 719 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 16: and early on after nineteen eighty three, four and five 720 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 16: and six, I've did a lot of USO tours, sixteen 721 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,720 Speaker 16: in all. I toured with Bob Hope around the world, 722 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 16: and I love being with the military. I would have 723 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 16: been a great soldier. I love discipline, but I love 724 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 16: the military, and they love what I said in the 725 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 16: song I won't forget the men who died, And I 726 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 16: wrote that about all of those men and women who 727 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 16: have sacrificed for our freedom. You never can forget that. 728 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 3: That's right, Lee, before I let you go. 729 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 4: In President Trump's first term, he signed the Music Modernization Act, which. 730 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 3: Despite the fact that most of the music. 731 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 4: Industry in Hollywood hates him, he still was fighting for 732 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 4: that industry and for fairness and compensation and digital ownership. 733 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,279 Speaker 4: What do you think it says about President Trump that 734 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 4: he took an industry like that that is so vic 735 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 4: reoal acwards him. 736 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 3: And even fought for them. 737 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 4: And what will that look like in his next administration 738 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 4: for other groups. 739 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,799 Speaker 16: Well, he's going to fight for everybody. He's going to 740 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,760 Speaker 16: fight for every American citizen that has anything that's not fair. 741 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 16: And by the way, I did want to mention the 742 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 16: fact that he promoted the Bible that we've first promoted, 743 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 16: and that's God Bless the USA Bible.

Listen to Jim Schultz tell. 764 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 6: You how great to be with you, Amanda and John. 765 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,359 Speaker 4: Hey, I got to say a staggering figure, thirty nine 766 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 4: million turkeys come from Minnesota. 767 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 3: By the way, we have the same amount of turkeys 768 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 3: in California. They just have two legs. I guess turkeys 769 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 3: have two legs too. Our zon't have wings. Definitely not wings. 770 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 4: But with respect to those concerns, what. 771 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:17,760 Speaker 3: Are you tackling? 772 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right. 773 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 17: You know, so forty million turkeys roughly produced every year 774 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 17: here and we're very proud of that, and we've got 775 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 17: a huge agriculture industry here in Minnesota. But around the 776 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,919 Speaker 17: country there's huge pressures on the agriculture industry, everything from 777 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 17: kookie states like California you mentioned, imposing regulations there that 778 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 17: end up applying to the rest of the country because 779 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 17: farmers want to sell into California, and then from the 780 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:45,919 Speaker 17: Biden Harris administration as well, these really robust mandates around 781 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 17: crop enhancement tools things like that that make it incredibly 782 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,840 Speaker 17: difficult for our farmers to continue to produce the quantity 783 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 17: of food at the prices that we need and so forth. 784 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 17: And so there's really been a slow ratchet at the 785 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,400 Speaker 17: state level, states like California, and then at the federal 786 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 17: level as well on a variety of different spots, and 787 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 17: when it comes to just the regulations that apply to 788 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 17: farming in the United States. 789 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:12,359 Speaker 2: Just remarkable. 790 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,399 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have not been kept 791 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: keeping abreast unless they watch this show on the food 792 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,760 Speaker 1: race in the world, China buying up farmland, China trying 793 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,240 Speaker 1: to take agricultural domination of the world, we've had some trouble, 794 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 1: particularly in the regulatory environment in America keeping our farms 795 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: up and running. Talk a little bit about how I 796 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: change in policy with Broke Rollins and the Agriculture Department 797 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,720 Speaker 1: could be of a sudden boon for farming in America. 798 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 6: Well, it could be immensely valuable. 799 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 17: I mean, for one thing, just all the you know, 800 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,440 Speaker 17: the fringe left stuff that has happened during the Biden administration. 801 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 17: When it comes to restrictions on the use of you know, 802 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 17: area surrounding wetlands by our farmeries. When it comes to 803 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 17: restrictions on the use of various crop enhancement tools that 804 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 17: ensure that our food can grow adequately without you know, 805 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 17: the problems with that, pasts and so forth. When it 806 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 17: comes to things like you know, our labor, our labor 807 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 17: challenges because of all these heavy handed employer mandates and 808 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,320 Speaker 17: things like that. So what I think we'll see is 809 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:15,920 Speaker 17: a lot of great policy, but then we'll see an 810 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 17: and a lot of the bizarre policy that has made 811 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 17: it so difficult for our farmers. You know, over the 812 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 17: past couple of years, farm income in the United States 813 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 17: has declined by twenty five percent, and it really is 814 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 17: that heavy handed regulation that's made it so difficult for 815 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 17: our farmers, And. 816 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 1: That's with inflation going up and actually the buying power 817 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: of the farmer goes down even further. 818 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 6: Right, yep, yep, one hundred percent. That's exactly right. 819 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 4: Wow, Jim, there's this horrifying dynamic that we have seen 820 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 4: across America where you have a family owned farm and 821 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,880 Speaker 4: they are trying to produce, but obviously with the cost 822 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,399 Speaker 4: weighed against their revenue, it just. 823 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 3: Doesn't make sense. 824 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,800 Speaker 4: And then you have some big ad conglomerate who comes 825 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 4: in and offers them a really nice price, and then 826 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 4: they take over and then they start producing with some 827 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,720 Speaker 4: pretty nasty practices regarding hormoneans, an antibiotics and all sorts 828 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,320 Speaker 4: of chemicals. Is that reversible in one term under President Trump? 829 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 17: Well, I think, you know, you know, it's it's a 830 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 17: you know, it's taken a long time to get to 831 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 17: our the current spots, and you know that with the 832 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 17: current challenges in agriculture and so forth, and of course 833 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 17: accelerated during the time of the Biden administration. But I 834 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 17: think you'll see as the ball moved in the right 835 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,839 Speaker 17: direction on a lot of different spots, when it comes 836 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,920 Speaker 17: to just reducing that regulatory burden, making it dramatically easier 837 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 17: for those family, family farms in our country to make 838 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 17: a living. When it comes to just the ability of 839 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 17: the average farmer out there to do what they do 840 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,919 Speaker 17: best and put food on our tables and food around 841 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:39,840 Speaker 17: the tables of folks all around the world. 842 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 6: So I think it's going to get dramatically better. 843 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 17: And there's of course, you know, a lot of work 844 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 17: to be done there by Brooke Rawlins and many and 845 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,279 Speaker 17: many others within the administration. 846 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I know you'll be a big voice at 847 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,359 Speaker 2: that table. Is very important what you're doing. There's about 848 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:52,919 Speaker 2: a minute left. 849 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 1: I just want to ask if there was one message 850 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,239 Speaker 1: that farmers could deliver to President Trump tonight, what's the 851 00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 1: what's the single biggest thing they. 852 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 2: Need right now? Start twenty twenty five on the high note. 853 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 17: They just need the freedom to do what they do best, 854 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 17: you know, put food on the table. And you know, 855 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,400 Speaker 17: when it comes to just the importance of prioritizing, you know, 856 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,760 Speaker 17: taking the foot off the neck of the American farmer 857 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 17: when it comes to those regulations that I'm talking about here. 858 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 17: You know, I think, you know, there's just such an 859 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 17: immense opportunity with this new administration. I would encourage the 860 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,239 Speaker 17: President to go big for our farmers and for the 861 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 17: average person out there who's you know of course, you 862 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,760 Speaker 17: know been felt the inflation and that at the grocer, 863 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 17: grocery store in otherwise these past years. And with that 864 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,480 Speaker 17: that deregulation, that smart regulation, and our economy as opposed 865 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 17: to the bizarre stuff that we've had, well, there'll be 866 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,359 Speaker 17: a lot of opportunity. 867 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 6: For our farmers and for all Americans going forward. 868 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 4: Good advice, Jim Schultz, President of the Minnesota and Business Council. 869 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,280 Speaker 4: You guys keep cranking out those turkeys, because the American 870 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 4: people are desperate for them, and we all know that 871 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 4: it's not going to be the bureaucrats and the politicians 872 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 4: and the celebrities who don't get their turkeys, So it's 873 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,399 Speaker 4: going to hurt all of us little people first. 874 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:57,240 Speaker 3: So you guys keep. 875 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 4: Doing what you're doing, and we look forward to hearing 876 00:42:58,640 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 4: more from you in the future. 877 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 6: Thanks so much, appreciate a manner. John. 878 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,320 Speaker 4: All right, everybody, and coming up, we have some final 879 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 4: thoughts that don't go anywhere. 880 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:06,479 Speaker 3: We'll see on the other side. 881 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,720 Speaker 4: Welcome back, everybody, all right, let's hit it. Those turkeys 882 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,360 Speaker 4: over there in the media. I want to show you 883 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,960 Speaker 4: guys and get John's reaction. On the other side, this 884 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:35,760 Speaker 4: is MSNBC talking the truth about Thanksgiving. Just very cerebral 885 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 4: thoughts from MSNBC. 886 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 16: Check it out. 887 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 6: My name is Jossy Ross. I come from the homstap people, 888 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 6: Cunning nation. 889 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 13: The mythology of Thanksgiving closely mirrors the mythology of America. 890 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 13: That mythology is the image that white Americans love to 891 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 13: see of themselves. White settlers come to a strange land 892 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 13: in good faith, bringing something of great value that enriches 893 00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,399 Speaker 13: the people who are already here. The natives also something 894 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:05,279 Speaker 13: of immense value, equal exchange that closely mimics the mythology 895 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 13: of white America. It is how America wants to see itself. 896 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,920 Speaker 13: The truth, of course, of Thanksgiving is much different. The 897 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 13: truth is Pilgrims did not bring turkey, sweet potato pie, 898 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 13: or cranberries to Thanksgiving. 899 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 2: They could not. 900 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 13: They were broke, they were broken, their hands were out, 901 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 13: they were begging. They brought nothing of value, but they 902 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 13: got fed, they got schooled Thanksgiving. It makes sense there 903 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,719 Speaker 13: is much for white Americans to be thankful for. But 904 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,440 Speaker 13: I'm still trying to figure out what Indigenous people received 905 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 13: of value. Instead of bringing stuffing and biscuits, those settlers 906 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 13: brought genocide and violence. That genocide and violence is still 907 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,320 Speaker 13: on the menu, as state sponsored violence against Native and 908 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,840 Speaker 13: Black Americans as commonplace and violent. Private white supremacy is 909 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 13: celebrated and subsidized. From Stone Child Chief Steak to Mike 910 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,840 Speaker 13: Brown to Renee Davis to Breonna Taylor to Eric Gardner, 911 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 13: Indigenous and Black people are still being murdered by those 912 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,960 Speaker 13: paid to protect us. From Ahmad Arbery to Trayvon Martin. 913 00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 13: White Americans are still killing Native and Black Americans with 914 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 13: no fear of reprising. They brought chattle slavery to Africans 915 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 13: and Native people. That still happens. Stop the killing. 916 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,440 Speaker 4: We should have an inconvenient fact stinger like we do 917 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:29,760 Speaker 4: for breaking news. Unfortunately for him and his narrative, Donald 918 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,360 Speaker 4: Trump won more Black votes than any other Republican in 919 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 4: forty eight years, and Native Americans voted for Donald Trump 920 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 4: by sixty five percent. John, I wonder if he took 921 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,279 Speaker 4: those numbers into account when he wrote that essay. 922 00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,800 Speaker 1: I think you should get reparations for his college education. 923 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:46,360 Speaker 1: They ought to give him his money back. He's just 924 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 1: I mean really, I mean, if you're in a Turkey coma, 925 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 1: that wakes you up right, It just wakes hup, like 926 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,239 Speaker 1: who is this guy? And then you realize I'd rather 927 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,479 Speaker 1: watch The Peanuts and Lucy pull the football from Charlie 928 00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,239 Speaker 1: Brown than watch that. He is the epilogue of of 929 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: this education system that we talked about on Wednesday, right, 930 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,960 Speaker 1: which is division and victimization. We treat this ideology that 931 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 1: you're a victim and we're divisive, and you're either white 932 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 1: and oppressor, or you're not white and you're oppressed. It's 933 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,480 Speaker 1: so on American and I think most Americans will hope 934 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:18,879 Speaker 1: they tune that out, and I hope they go watch 935 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:19,360 Speaker 1: the Peanuts. 936 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:20,319 Speaker 2: It will feel a lot better. 937 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of that division that I think, by and 938 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,280 Speaker 4: large is an idea of the left and a motive 939 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,880 Speaker 4: of the left. John, you weren't here yesterday, but I 940 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,960 Speaker 4: told a story about a friend who I saw at 941 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 4: church on Sunday and I hadn't seen her in a while. 942 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,279 Speaker 4: She is Hispanic, as is her husband, as is their 943 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 4: very large gaggle of children, beautiful, beautiful children. And I 944 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,200 Speaker 4: had not seen her in a couple months. She and 945 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 4: her husband are very big in the missions field. 946 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 11: For our church. 947 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,120 Speaker 4: And she saw me across the courtyard and she said, oh, 948 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:51,799 Speaker 4: my goodness, great to see you. I said, I haven't 949 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 4: seen you in forever, and she said, I've been seeing 950 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:54,839 Speaker 4: you on social media. 951 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,440 Speaker 3: And of course I'm thinking, oh, oh, because I don't. 952 00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,080 Speaker 4: Know where she stands on politics, and she said, and 953 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,759 Speaker 4: she's Hispanic again. She said, I have never been more 954 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,640 Speaker 4: hopeful about what is about to happen in this country 955 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,840 Speaker 4: under Donald Trump. And she's the type of person with 956 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 4: brown skin, her husband with brown skin, their children with 957 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 4: brown skin. 958 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 3: The Democrats would say. 959 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 4: You're a victim, you you are oppress, you should hate Republicans. 960 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,920 Speaker 4: And yet she is so hopeful going into this Thanksgiving holiday. 961 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,400 Speaker 4: And I loved seeing that, and it just reminded me 962 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,800 Speaker 4: that we have so much to be thankful for in 963 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 4: this country. And speaking of peanuts and Lucy and football 964 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:29,759 Speaker 4: games for. 965 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 3: Thanksgiving, what are some of your favorite traditions? For me? 966 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,319 Speaker 4: Obviously, the Saturday after Thanksgiving is always the Iron Bowl, 967 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,279 Speaker 4: so the Auburn Alabama game. This time it is in Tuscalousa, which, 968 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,879 Speaker 4: by the way, I just learned an interesting fact. Alabama 969 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:48,240 Speaker 4: under a non Saban head coach has never beaten Auburn 970 00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:49,200 Speaker 4: in Tuscaloosa. 971 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 3: How's that? 972 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:55,000 Speaker 2: Wow? Well, make care right now? 973 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:55,800 Speaker 9: Whither are we? 974 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 2: I put my money on Auburn.
