1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, luck and load. The Michael 2 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: Arry Show is on the air. 3 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 2: What's up, my people.

I've come today to give you your weather forecast. 5 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 2: You know today looks like one of those beautiful days. 6 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 2: You know, to be perfectly honest, they ain't a cloud 7 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 2: in the sky. 8 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 3: You know. 9 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 2: It's kind of weather that you take your girl to 10 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 2: the beach, lay it down and talk to him. Luther 11 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 2: stepped to the michaelphone. 12 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 3: Man. 13 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 4: I wake up in the morning and the sun night hurt, 14 00:00:50,440 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 4: smile and something strange with then, and yes, heavy on then, 15 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 4: I'm looking at you. 16 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 2: And the world is all. 17 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 1: I have maintained that I don't like comment in real 18 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: time as things are happening, despite the fact that the 19 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: media business loves to be the first to report the exclusive. 20 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: There is also in predictions or supposed reported news, a 21 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: bump in activity, more eyeballs, more ears, more clicks, whatever 22 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: your medium is for making a statement, whether true or not. 23 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: So I went to bed the night of the debate 24 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: Tuesday night, thinking, well, it wasn't what we wanted, which 25 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: was a knockout punch. I want this to be easy. 26 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: I don't want to have to work. I want it 27 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: to be obvious that Trump has won and she's lost. 28 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: I know it's naive, but in the back of my mind, 29 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: this thing is gnawing at me. And so I went 30 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: to bed Tuesday night trying to process. And my wife, 31 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: who never talks politics with me because I don't ever 32 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: want to talk politics when I'm off the air other 33 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 1: than reading and prepping, she said, what do you think? 34 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: And I said, I don't know what to think. I 35 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: really don't, because it doesn't matter how I viewed the debate. 36 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: What matters is whether the people who are for Trump 37 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: are willing to work harder to get more votes, whether 38 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: the people that, for whatever reason they're voting for Kamala 39 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: are no longer going to vote for her, and whether 40 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: undecided voters will now vote for Trump if in fact 41 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: they vote not voting is in a sense of vote, 42 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: and so what will happen sometimes, particularly with black voters, 43 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: is elections will be won and lost based on whether 44 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: black voters vote at all. Many black voters will say, 45 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: I don't like that guy, so I'm not going to 46 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: show up and vote. They may not vote Republican, but 47 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: their vote is a non vote. It is commissioned by 48 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: omission sort of thing. So I woke up yesterday morning, 49 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: fresh light of day, and I got to thinking hard 50 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: about what had happened, because it wasn't fresh in the moment. 51 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: The more I thought about it, now though nothing's really changed. 52 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: She put on a good performance, but nothing's really changed. 53 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: Trump was Trump, and Kamala wasn't the usual Kamala because 54 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: she was rehearsed and coordinated and she delivered I mean, 55 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: she delivered her lines. It was the role of a lifetime. 56 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: So the Tuesday Night numbers are the Tuesday Night anecdotal. 57 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: Now these aren't widespread polls just yet, but the Tuesday 58 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: Night numbers of the sit downs with voters that CNN 59 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: was doing, for instance, was showing that voters didn't like 60 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: what she had said. Her greatest problem is not a 61 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: lack of competence that comes up. She's never done anything. 62 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: She's not able to do anything. It is her dishonesty. 63 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: And I believe this dishonesty is rooted in something more 64 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: than a lie here and a lie there. I think 65 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: it's the Afghan which withdrawal. I think it's the vaccine lies. 66 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: I think it's the economic data lies. I think it 67 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: is the Oh Joe Biden's the smartest guy in the room. 68 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: These are cheap fakes. I think that has all piled 69 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: up to create such a cynicism in voters toward what 70 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: they've said that it finally manifested itself in an event 71 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: that we all watched at the same time. And now 72 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: the New York Times, New York Times, this is not 73 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: exactly a conservative outlet headline. Pundits said, Harris won the debate. 74 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: Undecided voters weren't so sure. Let me read that again. 75 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: Pundits said, Harris won the debate. That's what we went 76 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: to bed having heard, uh big win for Kamala. They 77 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: had declared she on it before the debate ever happened. 78 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: That's the people that are already in the tank. Pundits said, 79 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: Harris won the debate. Undecided voters weren't so sure. Well, 80 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: the numbers started coming back, and the numbers are showing 81 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: that voters moved in Trump's direction. I'll confess I'm surprised. 82 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: I have a tendency to I have a tendency to 83 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: believe that undecided voters can tend to be kind of boobs, 84 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:53,559 Speaker 1: that they can be swayed. They're the people that buy 85 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: the red sports car they can't afford because in the 86 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: picture it has Tony Kataine, you know, splayed out on 87 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: the front of it, beckoning you to come hither, catch 88 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: me me, ma'am. And my thought is, you can dupe 89 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: people into doing things who don't make good decisions. But now, 90 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: to use the term the liberals use the lived experience 91 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: of undecided voters, of real Americans so far outweighs the 92 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: glossy brochure that was thrown in front of people that 93 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: they're not buying this time. Share the lies aren't working 94 00:07:53,320 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: this time, and that both surprised me, surprises me, and 95 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: delights me. We'll get into some of those We'll get 96 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: into some of those data points and what they're showing. 97 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: The most important movement was that Trump increased his polling 98 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: difference with Kamala Harris on the issue of the economy 99 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: to in some polls over twenty percent. This is significant. 100 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: We're at the sixty forty numbers now. The problem for 101 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: Democrats is the biggest issue right now for voters consistently, 102 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: the number one is not abortion, which they hope for 103 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: The number one issue is the economy, and voters believe 104 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: that rightfully, that Trump will have a better shot at fiction. 105 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: Michael mary By Diversity Money. I've always had to view 106 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: that if this late in the day someone is undecided 107 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: who they're voting for, we have to adopt the Democrat 108 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: position that we're dealing with an idiot, and you deal 109 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: with an idiot the way an idiot has to be 110 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: dealt with. You recognize that you're not appealing to their 111 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: rational side. These aren't the most cerebral folks in the world. 112 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 1: These are disinterested, if not downright dumb individuals. These are 113 00:09:51,600 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: people who willfully reject what's going on around them because 114 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: as they're either too neat, naive, or low capacity to understand. 115 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: That has always been my position, and there have been 116 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: several parodies over the years. Family Guy did one, SNL 117 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: did one to kind of point out what we're dealing with. 118 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: The family Guy undecided. 119 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 2: You West, if re elected, would you increase the frequency 120 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 2: of garbage pickup? 121 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 5: Well, citizen, that's an excellent question, and I thank you 122 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 5: for it. I think it's great we live in a 123 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 5: town where you can ask questions, because without questions, we 124 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 5: just have answers and an answer. Without a question is 125 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 5: a statement. 126 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: Oh I like him. 127 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 3: He looks me in the eye. 128 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: I'd like to have a beer with him. I'm voted 129 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: for him. I don't understand these people. He didn't even 130 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: say anything, and they're eating it up. 131 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 5: Lois undecids are the biggest idiots on the planet. 132 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: Try giving short, simple answers, sir, your question, please, Missus Griffin? 133 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: What do you plan to do about crime in our city? 134 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: A lot votes. 135 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 5: Because that's what Jesus wants. 136 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: Nine eleven was bad. 137 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 3: I agree with that. 138 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: I can't believe how easy this is, Missus Griffin. What 139 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: are your plans for cleaning up our environment? Nine eleven? 140 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: Missus Griffin? What about our traffic problem? Nine eleven? And 141 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: then there was Saturday Night Live. This election will determine 142 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: the future of our country. In this election will be 143 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 1: determined by the undecided voter. It seems that more than 144 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: ninety six percent of voters have already made up their 145 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: minds about this election. Well, I guess some of us 146 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: are just a little bit harder to please. We're not 147 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: impressed by political spen or thirty second sound bites. 148 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 5: Before you get our vote, you're going to have to 149 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 5: answer some questions, questions. 150 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: Like when is the election? How soon do you have 151 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: to decide? What are the names of the two people running? 152 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: And be specific, who is the president right now? 153 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 3: Is he or she running? Because if so, experience is 154 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 3: maybe something we should consider. 155 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 5: How long is a president's term of office? 156 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 3: One year, two years, three years or life? It's my life. 157 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: Frankly, we're not comfortable with that. We don't need to 158 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: be electing a dictator. What happens if the president does? 159 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 2: Has anyone thought about who would replace him? 160 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: What's your plan? Gentlemen? 161 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 5: Can women vote? 162 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: Because if not? As a woman, I've got a big 163 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: problem with that. And by the way, if men can't vote, 164 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 1: in my opinion, that's just as wrong. We hear a 165 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: lot about our dependence on foreign oil, but just what 166 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: is oil? What does it used for? 167 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 5: Can a woman have a baby just from French kissing 168 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 5: a few herd fart. 169 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 3: And sneeze the same time we die? 170 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: Where's the power cord? We are America's undecided voters. There's 171 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,359 Speaker 1: still a lot we don't know, and we want answers. 172 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 4: Low information Voters of America is responsible for the content 173 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 4: of this advertising. 174 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: So for undecided voters to presently comprise. Such a small 175 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: percentage of the overall electorate means that people have come 176 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: to a conclusion and nothing that can be thrown at 177 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: them so far has been able to move them. That 178 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: was the best possible performance Kamala Harris can put on. 179 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: She can't do any better than that. She is a 180 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: C minus student that delivered an A plus performance. I 181 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: know you don't want to hear me say that, but 182 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: for her, that was the best she could possibly do. 183 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: I know you know, but you can't tell me she 184 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: walked onto that stage and delivered the worst performance of 185 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: her life. You can't tell me you've seen her perform better. 186 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: She looked good. Whoever did her makeup and her appearance. 187 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: That's the best she's ever looked. She was extraordinarily rested, 188 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: so that's a smart thing. She delivered every line. There 189 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: is a credible conspiracy theory there that she was wearing 190 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: the Novo hearing aid rings. I don't know if it's 191 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: true or not, but her performance was so unlike anything 192 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: she's ever done that it's certainly credible. You do have 193 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: to raise questions because there's nothing beyond the pale for 194 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: these Democrats. What they've been able to do what they've 195 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: been willing to do, how they've been willing to lie, 196 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: their complete lack of any conscience, and yet despite all 197 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: of that, they threw everything they had at this and 198 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: it didn't work. What we just cannot know. And this 199 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: is the great paradigm. The great paradox is that we 200 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: tend to project onto the views of that which we 201 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: personally believe. And that's why we're shocked by election returns. 202 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: That's why we're frustrated, because surely everyone believes the way 203 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: we do. And to see that she didn't move the 204 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: needle with black voters, she didn't move the needle with 205 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: women voters, she didn't move the needle anywhere she needed to, 206 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: those moderators quote unquote could not have been more egregious. 207 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: We've got some audio and we'll be getting to it 208 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: on the show today. We've got audio from CNN Jake Tapper, 209 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: of all people, absolutely eviscerting ABC for the way they 210 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: handled that debate. We now find out that was her name, 211 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: Davis is Kamala Harris's sorority sister, and that they've made 212 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,679 Speaker 1: a big deal out of that in the past. Of course, 213 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: we know that the head of ABC is Kamala Harris's 214 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: best friend. She introduced Kamala Harris to her husband, insisted 215 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: that she go out with this guy. Their husbands are 216 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: best friends. And this has been going on for thirty years. 217 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: The Trump people knew this. It's not a secret. So 218 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: you asked the question, why do you do the debate anyway? 219 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: People are now running around like chickens with their heads 220 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: cut off. Oh my god, they were sorority sisters. Then 221 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: Kamala's best friend runs the network. Then they built a 222 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: electron smaller for her, and then all but Trump knew 223 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: all this. And the gamble was despite all of that, 224 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: if she is shown to be who she is, the 225 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: voters will respond. And you know what, maybe that's going 226 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: to happen this time, on this day in nineteen fifty nine, 227 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: your parents' favorite TV show, Bonanza book premiere. Most notable 228 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: at the time that it was the first regularly scheduled 229 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: television program presented in color. It amazes me how recently 230 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: some things happen that you would have expected to have 231 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: started earlier. Bonanza would run for fourteen years from this 232 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,959 Speaker 1: date September twelfth, nineteen fifty nine to January sixteenth, nineteen 233 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: seventy three fourteen seasons, four hundred and thirty one episodes. 234 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:53,719 Speaker 1: It is NBC's longest running Western, the second longest running 235 00:18:53,800 --> 00:19:00,719 Speaker 1: Western series on US network television behind CBS's Gun Smoke, 236 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: and one of the wrong longest running live action American 237 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: series of all time. The show continues to this day 238 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: to air in syndication. Set in the eighteen sixties, and 239 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: it centers you know, when you watch Jeopardy or any 240 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: trivia game, or if remember the old trivial pursuit, Did 241 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: you ever play trivia Pursuit? We played Trivia Pursuit so 242 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: much that a question would be asked that I didn't 243 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: know the year before, but I would know because I 244 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: remembered it from the last And then they finally made 245 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: an updated game, and all that that was back pre computer. 246 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 3: You know. 247 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: Now, it's just I love trivia, love, love love it. 248 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: But it's funny, isn't it. How when you're playing a 249 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: trivia game or someone asks you a trivia question, if 250 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: it's something you know, you're insulted by how easy it is, 251 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: because that's something you know. And if it's something you 252 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: don't know, which is not necessarily a more difficult fact 253 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: to have determined and recalled. You think that's unfair or 254 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: that's a really tough question. It's all based on whether 255 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: you know it or not. So I'm going to let 256 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: some of you feel very smart with a couple of questions. Okay, 257 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 1: can I get the bonanza thing again? To get people 258 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: in the right mindset, get the minimum right mood. All right, 259 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: there's some little old ladies, and even if you little 260 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: old men out there right now, we're about to crush 261 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 1: this trivia sentiment. This segment is called trivia for old people. 262 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: I just came up with a name off the top 263 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: of my head. I didn't really hire a consultant or 264 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: any of the game show personally. All right, all right, yeah, 265 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: small budget the sacond so little known fact. I didn't 266 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: know it. The term bonanza is a Spanish word meaning 267 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: a body of rich ore. I did not know that. 268 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: When a large vein or depositive silver ore was found 269 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: that was referred to as a bonanza. The mother lord 270 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: the big hit BOI la. 271 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 3: So. 272 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: What ranch on what ranch?

But let's not 276 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: beat up on Ramon today with his lyrics in it. 277 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: What is that man's name? J Evans? J Evans? Is 278 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: his name? A nice Jewish fellow? That too? Yep, let's see. 279 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: Bonanza was ranked number forty three on TV Guide's fifty 280 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: Greatest TV Shows of All Time, one of the sixty 281 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: greatest dramas of all time. The time period for the 282 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: television series is roughly between what We'll say, what decade? 283 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: What decade eighteen sixty one to eighteen sixty seven, shortly 284 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: after the American Civil War. Coinciding with the period, the 285 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: Nevada Territory became a US state. During the summer of 286 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: seventy two, NBC aired reruns of episodes from the sixty 287 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: seven to seventy period in primetime on Tuesday under the 288 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: title Ponderosa. All right, here we go. Here's here's your 289 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: trivia for you old folks to seem smart again. Just 290 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 1: when you think all that used, this information you've retained 291 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: over all these years, nobody cares about I do. I'll 292 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: start easy.

Old people slap their their 296 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 1: knee when they miss up. So there's probably a lot 297 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: of little old ladies slap their knees right now. Maybe 298 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: some little men too.

And after I 348 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: read books, I give them away and I've played the 349 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty three clip that you're talking about on the air. 350 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: I'll make it easy for you, and then you you 351 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: won't even have to send it. 352 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 3: H Okay, all right, Well, it's one of those things 353 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 3: that you also have to look at a guy by 354 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 3: the name of Frank Marshall Davis. Do you know him? Yes, 355 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 3: Marshall Davis? 356 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: Yes? 357 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 3: Okay, you look at him, and then you know Bill Airs. 358 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 3: Are you familiar with him? Yep? Okay? And uh if 359 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 3: you look at those two, you can add battery Jarrett 360 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 3: to it, and you will start to see something building up. 361 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 3: And it all starts with Frank Marshall Davis. And that 362 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 3: includes Barack Obama. He was Barack Obama's mentor. 363 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: Sure. 364 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 3: And when when they talk about uh, community organizing, it's 365 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 3: community organizing for communism. 366 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I Frank, I mean Richard, I don't know 367 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: about the show. I've been talking about these things since 368 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: all the way back in two thousand and seven. I 369 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: one hundred percent agree. Yes, this is not a secret. 370 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: We've told these stories, We've explained these stories. A lot 371 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: of people understand these stories. Many people don't want to 372 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: hear it. They don't want to pay attention. It is 373 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: easier to call someone a Jesus freak or a conspiracy freak, 374 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: or a diet freak, or a workout freak, or a 375 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: patriotism freak or whatever else than to actually listen to 376 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: what they're talking about. But none of what you're talking 377 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: about is new to me or anyone else who has 378 00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: been paying attention in this country for the last or 379 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: far more than that number of years. I one hundred 380 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: percent agree. I don't mean to diminish what you're saying. 381 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, these are things I have learned, These 382 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,239 Speaker 1: are things we have talked about. These are things that 383 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: people either choose to understand or willfully choose to reject. 384 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: And they don't reject it on the merit of the 385 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: argument or the vacancy of the argument that has been made. 386 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: They reject it on the basis that they don't want 387 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: to have to think about it. And the best example 388 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: I can give in the modern era is Eric Snowden. 389 00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: When he revealed the things he revealed, people chose one 390 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: of two options. One was, he's a trader, he he's 391 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: a spy. It was nothing of the sort. He revealed 392 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: what our government was doing to us. There was one option, 393 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: which was, he's a trader, he's a spy. He should 394 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: be hanged. You should be ashamed that what he revealed 395 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: is true. You would not have known it otherwise, and 396 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: he's being treated like a criminal. The second option was, oh, 397 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: nothing he revealed is useful. We already all knew that anyway. Well, 398 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: which one is it? Did he reveal to the public 399 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: that which we already knew hu hum, that was widely understood. 400 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: In that case, why does he need to be treated 401 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: like a trader or The other option is he revealed terrible, 402 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: horrible things that never would have been revealed, should they be. 403 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: Shouldn't it concern you that but for this one man, 404 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: we wouldn't know what our own government is doing to us. 405 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: Shouldn't it concern you that members of the Senate at 406 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: the time expressed concern that these were details not known 407 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: to them, and that they themselves feared our security apparatus. 408 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: Shouldn't that worry you just a little? Now? Now, I 409 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: was trying to get tickets to the game, and also 410 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get trying to figure out which cable 411 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: package I'm going to do. And it is easier for 412 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: people to focus on personal physical indulgences, buying the next 413 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: best thing, vacationing, partying, whatever else, because if you ever 414 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: had to confront the simulation you're living through, it would 415 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: be too much to bear. And that's why people. If 416 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: you ever wonder why people don't want to hear what 417 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: you have to say, it's because it's too painful, it's 418 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,719 Speaker 1: too difficult, so they choose to pretend they're not living 419 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: in a prison. And that's a very very depressing fact 420 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: when you consider it on that level, That is that 421 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: is depressing to realize that many people are thiefs living 422 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: in a fiefdom with overlords of their making, and it's 423 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: just easier not to revolt.
