Here is Bob Yuker at his Hall 321 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 8: of Fame induction ceremony, telling a story about his dad 322 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 8: buying him a football. 323 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 2: I love this story. 324 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 6: My dad wanted me to have everything that everybody else had. 325 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 6: I think the first thing that he ever bought me 326 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 6: was a football. And I was very young, and he 327 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 6: didn't know a lot about it. He came from the 328 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 6: old country, and uh, I mean we tried to pass 329 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 6: it and throw it and kick it, and we couldn't 330 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 6: do it. And it was very discouraging for him and 331 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:02,719 Speaker 6: for me, and almost we almost quit. And finally we 332 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 6: had a nice enough neighbor came over and put some air. 333 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 8: In it, and what a what a difference. He then 334 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 8: reminisced about being signed by the Braves for a whopping 335 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 8: three thousand dollars. 336 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 6: I signed a very modest three thousand dollars bonus with 337 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 6: the Braves in Milwaukee, which I'm sure a lot of 338 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,479 Speaker 6: you know, and my old man didn't have that kind 339 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 6: of money to put out, but the Braves took it. 340 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 2: I remember sitting. 341 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 6: Around our kitchen table counting all this money coins out 342 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 6: of jars, and I'm telling my dad, let's forget this. 343 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 6: I don't want to play. He said, no, you are 344 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 6: going to play beast Board. We're going to have you 345 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 6: make some money and we're going to. 346 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 2: Live with it. Good. My dad had an accent. 347 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 6: I want to be real authentic when I'm doing this thing, 348 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:52,719 Speaker 6: So I signed. 349 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 2: The signing took place at a very popular restaurant in Milwaukee. 350 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 6: And I remember driving and my dad's all all fired 351 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 6: up and nervous, and I said, look, it'll be over 352 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 6: in a couple of minutes, don't be uptight. We pull 353 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 6: in the parking lot, pull next to the Braves automobile, 354 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 6: and my dad screws up right away. He doesn't have 355 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 6: the window rolled up far enough, and our tray falls 356 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 6: off and all the food is on the floor. And 357 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 6: from there on it was baseball. It's all in his delivery. 358 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 6: That's why he was a great broadcaster. 359 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 8: Bob Youucker went on the Tonight Show again the Cultural Phenomenon, 360 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 8: and he taught Johnny Carson how to. 361 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 15: Catch a knuckleball. This this is another really good one. 362 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 15: I'm not quite sure what this is. This is a 363 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 15: series of montage. If your picture what does this show? 364 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 15: First picture? 365 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: Where up right? 366 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 7: Johnny? Remember when I talked about catching the knuckleball. 367 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: Right. 368 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 7: Uh, the easiest way to catch it was to wait 369 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 7: until it stopped rolling and just pick it up. 370 00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 2: I see there it is on the ground. You're looking 371 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 2: around for the ball there in the middle picture. 372 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 7: Then the umpire finally picked it up and gave it 373 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 7: to me, and I made you make throw. 374 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: You know. 375 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 8: Interestingly, after all those years and baseball and broadcast and 376 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 8: everything else, Bob Buker will probably most be remembered and 377 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 8: certainly was best known outside of baseball for the Miller 378 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 8: Like commercials that Miller ran for years that were so 379 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 8: darn good. You remember this, you. 380 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 6: Know, one of the best things about being the next 381 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 6: big leaguers getting previous to the game called the front 382 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 6: office bingo. And once these fans recognized me, I probably 383 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 6: won't even have to be for my life here from Miller. 384 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 2: I love them, these fans. 385 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 12: No, I'd drink like because it's less filling and it 386 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 12: tastes great. 387 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 2: Good seat, sir, wrong, say, buddy, almost be in the front. 388 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: Row my flight beer from Miller.

The person I deeply admire is 441 00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 8: Thomas Soule. He is an economist, He is a brilliant man, 442 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 8: and he, along with Clarence Thomas, should be held up 443 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 8: as great thinkers and writers and speakers in American society 444 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 8: who happened to be black. But instead they're called nasty 445 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 8: names because they shatter the myth that black people all 446 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 8: want welfare. 447 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 2: I love Thomas Sol, and so we closed for that reason. 448 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 8: We closed the show with Thomas Sol explaining how Obama 449 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 8: fooled an entire. 450 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 2: Nation or intellectual in chief. 451 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 17: Barack Obama got his BA from Columbia, his jd from Harvard. 452 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 17: He taught for a number of years at the University 453 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 17: of Chicago Law School. May I suppose that Thomas Sol 454 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 17: is duly impressed. 455 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: You might say the road the hell is paid with 456 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: Ivy League degrees. All right. 457 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 17: A few clips of the President of the United States 458 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 17: delivering his State of the Union address earlier this year. 459 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:03,439 Speaker 18: Clip number one, Education can't be a luxury. It is 460 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 18: an economic imperative that every family in. 461 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: America should be able to afford higher education and imperative. 462 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 17: All he's asking is that all young Americans should have 463 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 17: the same opportunity to get a really good education that 464 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 17: Tom Soul had. 465 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 19: Tom I love the way the use of the word opportunity. 466 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 19: You know, I had as much opportunity to become an 467 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 19: NBA star as Michael Jordan had. It just happens that 468 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 19: there was some difference in skill. And so the same 469 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 19: thing with education. There is no point trying to run 470 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 19: people through institutions that they have very little interest. 471 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: In and that they may not be suited for. 472 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 19: In fact, I would argue that one of the problems 473 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 19: of American education is you have a lot of people 474 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 19: in college who have no interest in what a college 475 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 19: is supposed to be, nor is there any reason why 476 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 19: they should. 477 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: And so the so you watered. 478 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 19: Down the education of the people who they had to 479 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 19: get an education because of the people who are not 480 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 19: there for that purpose and who and who you're trying 481 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 19: to appease in some way. 482 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 17: And is the impulse that we just saw of Barack 483 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 17: Obama and his supporters to in constantly more and more 484 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 17: people run them through college, run them into college. And 485 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 17: that's what that's to enhance the standing of intellectuals in society, 486 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 17: to teach more and more Americans, to defer to intellectuals 487 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 17: is that part of what's going. 488 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: On is to win votes. 489 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 17: Frankly, all right, straightforward is that President Obama once again. 490 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 18: I will not seed the wind or solar or battery 491 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 18: industry to China or Germany because we refuse to make 492 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 18: the same commitment. Here we've subsidized oil companies for a century. 493 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,479 Speaker 1: That's long enough. This is pre Celendro courtse pre cylinder. 494 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 10: You know. 495 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 19: There's notion that picking out something and call it a 496 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 19: good thing, like education or affordable housing or whatever it 497 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 19: might be, everything is a. 498 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: Matter of trade off. Uh God, what did the band 499 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: say there? 500 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 17: That if he will not seed wind or sol or 501 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 17: baddest battery, the battery industry to China or Germany because 502 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 17: we refuse to make the same commitment. 503 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 19: It's amazing that here is a man talking about five 504 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 19: different industries, in none of which he has the slightest experience, 505 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 19: you know, But because he has these degrees from the 506 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,239 Speaker 19: places you mentioned, he thinks, and people have told him 507 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 19: how clever he is, he now thinks that he can 508 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 19: can do this. 509 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: So can you No human big on this planet could 510 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: do this. 511 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 17: Can you explain, Tom the particular appeal to intellectuals of 512 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 17: the kind you describe here, of the green movement, of 513 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 17: the environmental movement. 514 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: Oh, it shows them again in the role of relish. 515 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 19: They're they're the wise and noble forcing the rest, forcing 516 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 19: the rest of us poor dummies to do what's right, 517 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 19: you know, even though we don't want to. 518 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 17: So it's what your old friend Carl Marx would have 519 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 17: described as the will to power.

In fact, if you're earning a million 529 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 18: dollars a year, you shouldn't get special tax subsidies or deductions. 530 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 18: On the other hand, if you make under two hundred 531 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 18: and fifty thousand dollars a year, like ninety eight percent 532 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 18: of American families, your taxes shouldn't go up. 533 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: I love it when people keep their own money. That's 534 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: called subsidizing them. I love it. 535 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 19: That's their brillions of intellectuals that they can use words 536 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 19: in such a valuable way that they can. Obama has 537 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 19: an absolute out for saying things that make no sense 538 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 19: but not only sound plausible but inspiring. You know, we're 539 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 19: subsidizing the oil companies when they deduct the cost of 540 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 19: doing business in order to arrive at the figure out 541 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 19: how much net income they have. 542 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 17: Everybody does that, right, So this notion though, that that 543 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 17: if you, if you're rich, you ought to pay more 544 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 17: straightforward enough. No, it is straightforward of us. It's also 545 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 17: straightforward nonsense. 546 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: Why is that? People don't. 547 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 19: They often speak of people who are rich as people 548 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 19: who happen to have money. Right, extremely few people happened 549 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 19: to have money. There aren't that many Rockefellers. Well, but 550 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 19: Rockefeller didn't happen to have money, but his as happened 551 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 19: to have money. 552 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: So you're doing rocket rocket Rockefeller. 553 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 19: Rockefeller reduced the coil cost of oil to a fraction 554 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 19: of what it had been before him, benefiting millions of 555 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 19: people across the country. Therefore, they bought their oil from 556 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 19: Rockefeller rather than from people who had more expensive ways 557 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 19: of producing oil, for example, one of them being the 558 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 19: use of tank cars on the railroads. The progressives were 559 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 19: were livid that Rockefeller could ship his oil at a 560 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 19: cheaper price than the other producers. It never occurred to 561 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 19: them an Rockefeller shipped his oil in tank cars, which 562 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 19: are a hell of a lot cheaper to transport than 563 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 19: in barrels. I mean, we still measure oil in barrels today, 564 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 19: but we ship it in tankers, right, And that's how 565 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 19: he became a multi billionaire. 566 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 17: So we know from the study of economic history that 567 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 17: wealthy people get wealthy by creating jobs, lowering prices, yes products, 568 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 17: Rather than Bill Gates, the richest man in America, one 569 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 17: of the richest men in the world, invented and invented 570 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 17: an entire industry that simply didn't All right, we know 571 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 17: all that. And we also know, as we mentioned earlier, 572 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 17: that cutting taxes worked to spur economic growth in the twenties, 573 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 17: again under John Kennedy and the six it was Johnson 574 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 17: who ended up most of the tax customer place, let's 575 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 17: call it under the sixties, and then again in Ronald Riggan. 576 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: And George W. Bush and George W. Bush. 577 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 17: So how is it that he can stand there in 578 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 17: the face of this overwhelming evidence and be taken seriously. 579 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 17: I'm not asking now about Barack Obama's an intellectual. I'm 580 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 17: asking about the people listening to him. 581 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: That's the question of the hour. You have people who 582 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: don't stop and think you had. 583 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 19: Dumbed down education, you had propagandistic education, and people he's 584 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 19: what he's saying, connects with all those with all those 585 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 19: kinds of things, all right. 586 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: In fact, it goes the other way too. 587 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 19: I was just doing some resrach On in Detroit and 588 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 19: his decline, and they kept raising the city income tax, 589 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 19: and every time they raised the tax rate, the tax 590 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:49,479 Speaker 19: revenuees went down. In two thousand and eight, Charles Gibson 591 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 19: put this to Obama when he was a candidate. 592 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: He said, why are you for. 593 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 19: Raising the tax rate on the bridge because you often 594 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 19: get more revenue and lower tax rates than at the 595 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 19: higher tax rates. And he said, well, it's a question 596 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 19: of social dost others. He doesn't really care about whether 597 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 19: the governor raises more revenues. If he can get people 598 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 19: mad at the rich and they vote for him, then 599 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 19: the pop pop, then it's a success. 600 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 2: Els much for you, Thank you, and good night,
