Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning from Wyoming. It is currently a balmy minus
two degrees in the window of the country, and I'm
getting ready to pop some more corn and enjoying the
leptist tears. Have a great hump day.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
It is hump day.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Popcorn in this early though? What popcorn in this early?
Speaker 4 (00:25):
You know, popcorn is one of those things that you
could probably eat just about any time.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It was originally like a cereal, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Oh, I don't know, was sure?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Okay? You know, if there was a big month's big
cans of.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
You know, holiday popcorn popcorn out there, and.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
There's always one, you know, usually divided into either thirds
or fourth and there's always one that nobody ever touches,
and then the other was that disappeared quickly?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yeah, yeah, well.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I you know.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Popcorn right now. I I'd eat something right now. I
got up and shoveled the driveway on the sidewalk this morning,
so I'm, you know, I'm kind of ready to eat something,
kind of hungry.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I think there's still some chocolate out there.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Don't why nobodys touched the chocolate? Do you remember yesterday
I talked about we talked about Palestine for a while,
and we talked a little bit about how well I
often reference Ecclesiastes and there's nothing new under the sun. Well,
yesterday King Abdullah from Jordan was in the White House
(01:35):
and he had a few things to say which I
found kind of interesting, and I want to go back
and revisit just a little bit of that history of Palestine.
But before I do that, just an observation. And this
all started last night with I get some emails from Corproot.
(01:55):
In fact, let me just pull one up, because it's
just kind of funny how they how they do this.
The first so Angela, whom I have no idea who
it is, sends an email to sixty four different people,
four of whom are in this building, including yours, truly,
(02:15):
and it's.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
About it says.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
The subject line is meeting request join us in promoting
iHeart Okay, well all right, and then it's about we're
launching some exciting internal campaign and you want to feature
our top talent. Well, I'm glad to be on that
list of top talent. But maybe it's probably probably a
mistake and they didn't realize what they had done. So
(02:38):
I'm reading through this email and I'm thinking, okay, this
is some internal thing. It's you know, is it? In
other words, is it going to any moodlah in this
for Molah? And I'm thinking no, and join us in
promoting iHeart and exciting internal campaign. Well, okay, what to
(03:04):
to get more of us.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
To do a lot? I can't figure it out.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
But then that led me to this whole thought process
about how in eighteen to twenty years on. You know,
I always say eighteen twenty years. I don't know how
to count the first year that I was here where
they didn't really pay me, and it was just, you know,
I would come in on Saturdays in Koa and do
a couple of hours in Koa, and so I don't
(03:30):
know whether to count that or not. It's not part
of my official start date, but it's it's when I
started in radio, I guess you would say. So it
goes back, you know, nineteen twenty years. And I was
thinking about as I was driving in this morning, I'm
thinking about, oh, you know, dang it, now I've got
another meeting after the program, and then I've got this
other meeting that I've got to do. That's you know,
(03:51):
about this internal this I'm sorry, exciting internal campaign, and
so I'm thinking about I'm going to be in this building,
you know, only till probably, you know, early afternoon today
it's you know, it's only six ten ams, Like I
don't want to do that. And on the way in,
you know, it's, uh, I shovel the driveway, shovel the sidewalk.
(04:12):
Get a little bit of exercise in this morning. And
I'm thinking, remember when Peter Boyles sat in this chair,
Remember when did you ever did you ever listen to
Pete Dragon?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Not?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
No, Pe had this funny thing which it wasn't unique
to him. Local radio does it, did it and to
some degree, like Colorado Mornings, Colorado Morning News will still
do it. But because this audience, because you are scattered
(04:45):
all over the country, and do you really care what
this guy's kind of goes back like to the Network News,
which was on the news this morning, is like a man,
do you really care what the weather is other than
where you live or other than maybe someplace that you're
getting ready to go to, Like, you know, I plan
to go see my mom over the long upcoming weekend,
(05:10):
and so I kind of care about what the weather's
going to be like between here and Wallsenburg and Trinidad
and Ratone and finally getting into the Oklahoma panandle.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So I'm kind of I am kind of.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Watching that to kind of see what that looks like,
to see if I can actually make it this time.
But other than that, I don't really care because I
have no trips playing to the East coast, or to
the West coast, or to the Gulf of America coast
or to the Canadian border. I really have no trips planning,
so I really only care about what's the weather right here.
But as I'm driving in now, I have been switching
(05:41):
back and forth now between Fox Headlines and Fox the
Whatever Maria Botoromo calls her program over on Fox Business,
and sure enough, on both of them, they're giving the
National weather Report. And as I'm driving on the highway
at normal speed because it's just a dry it's champagne powder,
(06:03):
as we would call it in Colorado, they start giving
the National Weather Report. And that leads me to thinking
about I can remember when because I thought about doing
a weather report when I came in this morning. I
thought about, you know, because remember somebody got mad yesterday
dragon because they couldn't wait for nine o'clock to get
here so they could listen ton back and listen to
(06:23):
some real news as opposed to listening to whatever fall
to roll.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
We were talking about.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yesterday morning, we were Laurel Hardy, can't wait till Glenn
Beck gets yes.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
So you can listen to real radio.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
So I was thinking this morning, what can I cause,
you know, mister passive aggressive, what can I do to
piss off the listeners this morning? As I get here,
I mean, I'm I'm literally thinking that what can I
do that will irritate that one individual. I'm now focused
on that one individual? What can I do?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
And I thought, oh, I could give the weather report?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
And then that led me to thinking about thinking about
how Pete would come in and Pete would talk about
it's six twelve fifty five am in Denver, Colorado, and
it's you know, it's three degrees outside, and he'd be
looking out the window and it's foggy and it is
snowing a little bit, and he'd give a weather report.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
We got the weather report from the talkback from Wyoming,
so that's good.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yeah, And then that kind of reinforced, you know, the
whole idea that it's it's you know whatever, it was
below zero up there. Well, it was three degrees on
my driveway this morning, because I you know, I checked
when I walked out to shovel to drive it was
three degrees. And right now it is it's well, it's
three degrees. Yeah, it's three degrees. And there's a there's
a slight. I don't know whether it's actually snowing or
(07:30):
it's just the dry snow that's blowing around in the air.
And it's it's foggy and cloudy at and it's colder
than a well digger's ass. And it's now six thirteen
thirty nine in the Mountain time zone. That would be
like every five minutes, he'd be doing the weather and giving.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Us the time.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
That's beautiful and we and we need like a dog
like a dean like it's now six thirteen fifty three.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Dean thick and it's three degrees outside.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
And anyway, it's just how how drastically radio has changed.
Because Pete was speaking to and you know that I do.
When you probably think about the ratio of stories that
I do, it's probably seventy five twenty five at best,
seventy five twenty five national worldwide international news versus twenty
(08:21):
five percent say local news. And it was just the
opposite with probably Pete, it was probably ninety five percent
local stuff. Generally John been a Ramsey and that was
just about it, and then occasionally might throw in something that,
you know, because he hated George Bush, or something that
George Bush had done. And radio has just so drastically
changed that it's you know, you're now speaking whether you eat.
(08:46):
Local hosts everywhere are generally speaking to audience that is
all across the country, and nobody gives a round to
ask what the weather is. At the same time that
television has become so desperate to try to get eyes
and ears onto those TV screens that they're now giving
you a national weather report, which doesn't mean squat weather
(09:09):
is so localized. Think about how localized weather is because
while you might, for example, Dave Fraser last night's giving
the weather on KDVR, and he's showing the entire state
of Colorado and he gives the temperatures all around the
state and everything else. But then he does something that's
incredibly smart because we have what's called our DMA, which
(09:32):
is our marketing area and our marketing area is that
area upon which our ratings are calculated. And so while
Fraser will give the overall weather around Colorado, you know,
England and wood Springs is going to be this, and
Montrois is going to be this, and out in you know,
in Sterling it'll be this, and down in Springfield it
(09:56):
might be X. So he covers all four corners of
the state. But then he goes, now, let's talk about
where we are. That's that's designed to oh now, let's
pay attention, because unless I'm going to Montrose today, I
really don't care what the weather is in Montrose.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
So it's.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
They and of course it's a local stations are predominantly
local news, so they're even on the weather report. They
may start big, but boy, they zoom right in because
they want to tease you.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
And I've noticed this too about the weather.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
They will give you a short, very short synopsis of
kind of what it's going to do in very generalized
terms at the beginning of the newscast. But for the
detailed weather, you've got to stay through three or four segments.
And of course that's they're teasing the weather to get
you to stay to listen.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
To the weather. It's just fascinating to me about.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
How we consume all of this combination of news, weather, sports, entertainment,
everything that we talk about, and how it's flip flopped
and nobody cares anymore. How many times do I how
many times in a week dragon, do you think I
say that you're listening to the situation with Michael Brown
(11:12):
on six point thirty K How.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Hardly?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Never.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
I don't think I ever do. I don't think I
ever give the call letters to this station.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
We gave that tesk to the rules of Engagement people
and they do that top of the hour. So yeah,
it's and but you don't do it anymore, No, And we.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Only have them do it so that people listening other
places because now you're not listening. Just like the guy
in Wyoming, I don't know whether he's listening in, but
I don't know whether the signal, you know, based on
the weather today, is actually getting up to where he is.
And I'm going to assume, you know, Cheyenne or somewhere.
I don't know whether it's fully getting there or is he
(11:51):
listening on the iHeart app? Is he listening on his phone?
Because how many people have a transistor radio, you know,
in their in their house. It's as the world gets
more and more interconnected, all of the ways that we
consume news and the information that we want, and we
(12:16):
get to choose the information that we want by going
to particular places. The delivery of that news has changed dramatically.
And I come in here and I rarely, if ever,
Now I do have to every single day because we
have the Michael Brown Minute that plays over on Freedom,
(12:37):
the station right behind me that plays during the day,
and the management directive on that was because that is
a station that carries only nationally syndicated programming, put in
some local tidbits on your Michael Brown Minute every day.
(12:58):
So that forces me to go find some local tidbit.
So the local tidbit for today was about this. In
the United Kingdom, speed cameras are everywhere and they track
and I remember the first time that I drove outside
of London and I actually wasn't driving. I was driving
with somebody else and they were all they're all firefighters,
(13:21):
and they were all cursing because they were in a
hurry to get me the Heathrow to catch my flight.
After having talked to this group of firefighters somewhere out
in the they were having a conference out on the
countryside somewhere, and they were all upset because they could
not speed, unlike here where we just take our ch
If you want to speed, you just take your chances
(13:41):
you're gonna get caught. Well, they've taken the cameras, and
they put cameras at every I don't know how often
they have them, every mile, every two miles, every kilometer,
every two kilometers, whatever it might be. But what they
do is they take a photo of your license plate
and then the next camera takes the license of yournse
(14:02):
photo of your license plate, and they calculate the time
it took you to travel between camera A and camera B,
calculate your speed, and if you're above and I mean
if you're just like one mile above the speed limit, boom,
you get a ticket. So everybody is so focused on
their speedometer, so focused on the speed limit, that they're
(14:22):
really not paying much attention to anything else. Because if
you just barely surprise that you're going to get a ticket,
well guess what, Colorado's going to start doing it. And
it's all, of course, of the name of safety. Now
they say it's because in construction zones, there has been
a ninety percent increase in the number of deaths in
(14:44):
a construction zone. So when you think ninety percent increase,
you think, holy cow, there's too many people being killed
in construction zones. Now I think one person being killed
in the construction zone is too many. It's a dangerous
job and you should be careful in construction zones. But
you know what the actual raw numbers were. It went
from like I don't know, I forget the exact number.
(15:06):
I don't have the story in front of me, but
it went from like sixteen to thirty four whatever it was,
So you know, some some drastic increase. So now they're
going to start putting those cameras and they're called safety
cameras in construction and not in all construction zones, just
in the most heavily offended construction zones, which apparently happened
(15:29):
to be in Colorado Springs in Alpasso County. And as
your car passes one of these cameras, if I guess
you are, you remember how they show your speed and
you know speed limit is forty five and it shows
that you're doing forty seven or whatever. If you're above that,
it's going to create what they call a puck. Now
(15:52):
I said, puck with a p puck, it's going to
create a puck. Now you're going to get with an
f later, but it creates a pun. And then when
you pass the next camera, it's going to take another
photo of your because that puck travels somehow electronically travels
from the first camera to the second camera. And then
it's going to calculate your speed. And listen to this.
(16:14):
They will calculate your speed between cameras and issue either
a citation or a warning if you're traveling more than
eleven miles an hour above the speed limit. And I thought,
holy crap, mile, if you're speeding more than eleven miles
an hour through a construction zone, you probably do deserve
(16:36):
to get a ticket, you know, because one or two miles,
even five miles, but eleven miles now, mark my words
about this. They're going to take that, and they'll start
it with construction zones. Then they will expand it to
four seventy, the twenty five, and the seventy. You know why,
(16:57):
because they already have the cameras there for the express lanes,
so they'll just you'll take the cameras and they'll start
using those cameras to calculate your speed, and then the
next thing you know, they'll be all over the state
of Colorado and there will be no cops, no due process,
no exceptions. You'll get a ticket, you'll pay the fine,
(17:18):
and it'll be them making money through technology, not through
law enforcement. That's where we're headed. That's again how everything,
whether it's you're listening to Michael Brown on six point
thirty k out at twenty three thirty four on Wednesday,
February twive, February twelve, and it's currently three degrees outside,
(17:41):
we've gone from that to nobody ever mentions that to
oh you have to have a cop actually catch you,
from catch you speeding, to where now we're going to
have just like the Brits, we're going to have we're
going to control your speed through electronics, through cameras, and
you're going to get a ticket. And just like the
express lane tickets, it's not going to be the meet
there's no due process. You can get a hearing if
(18:03):
you want, but they're just gonna rubber stamp and you're
gonna get the ticket regardless of well I had to
swerve into that lane because somebody was about to swerve
into me, or there was as one person pointed out,
there was a there was something blocking the road and
I had to go around to stop the vehicle or whatever.
They don't care, my Everything changes, Everything changes now, everything changes,
(18:25):
except when it comes to Gaza. Really nothing changes. Let's
go back in time to the New York Times nineteen
fifty three.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Official weather report from little Thing, Colorado. Snow cold, KINGO,
but you forgot to give your call signs. You got
to give your call signs. So yesterday King Abdullah shows
up at the White House, and King Abdullah's talking about
(19:03):
what they're willing to do in terms of refugees, because
Trumps announced that, you know, he wants to and I
just want to use the language of the cabal. Trump
wants to buy up, take over, uh confiscate, you know,
imminent domain, whatever you want to turn however you want
to phrase it. He wants to take over the Gaza
(19:23):
Strip and build it into a big, beautiful, giant, beautiful resort,
you know, a lovely place for people to live.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
It'll just be fantastic. He'll be wonderful. And of course,
as I said yesterday. Don't take Trump literally, but do
take Trump seriously to.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Take it under one authority.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
It is so.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I think you see to personally develop property in Gaza
after the.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Gas you know, I've had a great career in roast No.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
I'm not going to go over there and develop I've
I've had a great career in real estate. I'm not
going to go over there and do that. And as
as they continue these discussions, uh, King Abdullah decides that
you know, probably I might want to say something about
this plan.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
To follow up with one on that for King of Dullah,
can you clarify aga answer?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
How do you feel about the US taking Gaza? As
the President said, well, again, this is something.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
That we as Adams will be coming to the United
States with something that we're going to talk about later
to discuss all these options.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
We're you know, we're gonna talk other words, I'm not
going to give an answer. Uh, We're gonna We're gonna
have these discussions about what we'll do or what we'll
not do. And uh, you know, well we'll have these discussions.
The other thing that Abdullah said that I thought was
kind of interesting was the idea about what are you
going to do with the the Palestinians so called Palestinians
(21:00):
that are in the Gaza strip and King Abula kind
of gets stuck.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
Many people in the regium especially good and I'll worry
about the aleixation of the spine.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Will you get the macialcy the king guarantee that you
want to know Israel to Ano Spain. And I think
that's going to work out very well.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
That's not really what we're talking about today.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I think that's something that's going to work out automatically,
and it's in good shape. And we discussed that. Other
people have discussed it with us and with me.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
That's going to work out.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
West Bank is going to work out very well.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Why should the king take in the Palestinian people.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
He's made clear he doesn't want to.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Well, I don't know, but he may have just something
to say because we discussed just briefly.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
I think maybe you want to say it now.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
Or well, mister President, I think we have to keep
in mind that there is a plant from Egypt and
the Arab countries. So we're being invited by having been
sent mind to discussions and riad I think the point
is is how to make this work.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
In a way that is there was a slight reference
there to you know, there's this plot of land and
there's you know, we got some discussions in about what
we could do in Egypt, and we're having discussions in
riodd you know. So there, you know, this is having
the effect that Trump wanted it to have. The Arabs
(22:23):
are now like, uh oh, the new sheriff in town, oh,
Yosemite Sam has shown up and he's got his barrels blazing,
and he's like, you know what, We're gonna completely shift
the paradigm here. We're not gonna keep doing the same
thing over and over and over and expecting a different result.
And the King is like, yeah, you know, we're having discussions, and.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
I'm good for everybody. Obviously, we have to look at
the best in dress of the United States, of the
people in the region, especially to my people of Jordan,
and we're going to have some interesting discussions today. I
think one of the things that we can do right
away is take two thousand children that are either cascid
children or in very hill state to Jordan as quickly
(23:03):
as possible and then wait for I think the Egyptians
to present their time on how we can work with
the president to work on a cause of chilches.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Now, this is wonderful. This is wonderful because here the
king is saying, So what we're gonna do is and
talk about a great chess move. We're gonna take two
thousand so called Palestinian children that have medical issues. We're
gonna take them immediately while Egypt, which is the obvious
(23:33):
place for them to go, while we figure out and
give Egypt time for them to have discussions with the
United States about what we're they're going to do. So
Jordan has set themselves up as you know, hey, we're
we're not going to do anything. So okay, we'll take
two thousand and six children Egypt. We're taking the sick kids.
What are you doing now? Just to prove that there
(23:58):
is nothing new under the sun. This is early similar,
not not entirely, but it shows that Trump I think
or somebody on Trump's team knows their history. Because this
plan for Gaza was essentially proposed in nineteen fifty three
(24:19):
by the United States and the United Kingdom with the
support of the United Nations at the time, managing a
population of one hundred and fifty thousand in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
The United Nations World Relief Agency that.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
UNRA they wanted to build a new city in Egypt
Sinai Desert in order to really relocate all the Gazan
residents into this new city. Water for this new city
would have been diverted from the Nile River. The US
and the World Bank would have spent about thirty million
dollars at the time to fund water diversion and also
(24:54):
fund building the Aswan Dam for Egypt, whose leader at
the time Nasser, was fully on board with this plane them. However, however,
the Muslim Brotherhood and the Communist Party operatives bet Matt
They actually got together at the UNRU schools of the
(25:15):
United Nations Schools in Gaza in nineteen fifty five and
organized a mini Intafada against NASA and the Egyptian ruler
of the Strip. NASA security agencies responded with live ammo
and they killed a few protesters. The politics was never
about Gaza, but part of the competition over who's going
(25:36):
to govern Cairo at the time. Now fearing that the
Islamist could outflank him on the right and the Communists
on the less left, Naser, through the leaders of both
of them, in prison, but also stopped any gas and
relocation to the Sinai. In response to that, President Eisenower
at the time froze the finds. Oh, that's a familiar phrase.
(25:58):
Where are we about that? President Eisenhower froze the funds
that were going to go that had been appropriated by
Congress to fund the Aswan dam But later NASA got
the Communists in the Soviet Union to.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Build the damn for him. So what's the point here?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
The bottom line is, back in the fifties, like it
is today, politics, it's not about the Gosins. It's not
about their interests or their living standards. Because if it
was about that, a brand new city would have been
a huge upgrade from the tent city that is in
Godsen now, and particularly since Israel's destroyed most of it,
as they rightfully had a right to do. But NASA
at the time in nineteen fifty three and his opponents
(26:38):
what were they doing. They were jocking for their own positions,
and the Gosins were, like they are today, just pawns
in this big game that cares little about them. They
don't care about them. So that led me to be
to dig around and see if I could find any
other evidence of this, and oh lo and behold The
New York Times July one, nineteen fifty three, headline you
(27:03):
in and Egypt Map Refugees project KI dateline Cairo, Special
to The New York Times, June thirty, published July one.
An agricultural development project in the Gaza Strip in the
northern coastal area the Sinai Peninsula. Same area we're talking
about now Philadelphia Crossing, which may ultimately provide livelihood for
(27:24):
fifty thousand of the two hundred and eight thousand Palestinian
refugees there was a subject of an agreement signed today
by the Egyptian government and the United Nations Relief and
Works Agency UNRA. The project, expected to take at least
four years to complete, will get thirty million dollars out
of two hundred million dollars approved by the un last
year for a plan looking toward the integration of refugees
(27:47):
a resident in all Arab countries, in other words, the
Arab back then we're trying to find.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Hey, listen, Egypt, We'll get you a damn built.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
And what we'll do is you will, in exchange with
this dam, you will provide a place for all these
crazy palastatings that nobody wants, that nobody anybody anywhere. Once
you'll provide that in the Sinai Desert and they can
go live in the desert and will have even a
water supply for them. Because we've gotten two hundred million
dollars out of all these other countries, including the United States,
(28:18):
to build a dam. The United States assessment amounts to
about three quarters of the funding. The agreement is actually limited,
as according to The New York Times, the agreement is
actually limited to a survey of the area's agricultural and
to a lesser extent, industrial possibilities. The survey will cost
about five hundred thousand dollars will take about.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
A year to do.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Subsequent agreements will be necessary correct to carry out the
recommendations of the survey, such as building roads, canals, wells,
and land reclamation and planting. Few, if any, refugees from
the Gods of Camps will be employed in the technical survey.
When the construction and reclamation projects begin, they will be
employed in increasing as laborers, and is hoping up to
(29:02):
fifty thousand of them will ultimately accept temporary settlement as farmers,
thus enabling their removal from the United Nations relief roles.
There truly is nothing new under the sun. So when
you hear all of this screaming about and again, don't
take Trump literally.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
He doesn't want to own Gaza, but.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
He does want to say, you know what, let's return
Gaza to the Israelis and let's tell the Arabs you
got to do something with these Palestinians. We're not going
to you know, we're not going to rebuild Palestine or
not going to rebuild the Gaza strip and allow the
so called Palestinians to move in, because they'll just allow
(29:45):
Hamas to come back in. Hamas is already coming back in.
And whether it's a year from now or two years
from now, or I don't know, ten minutes from now,
ha moths will do exactly the same thing and we'll
just you know, lather rents and repeat, repeat over and
over and over. So Trump's taking a lesson from history,
(30:06):
and Trump is saying to the Arabs, this time you're
gonna take them. You know what, I give him a
better than fifty to fifty chance that this time what
they tried in nineteen fifty three gets done.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
This is done from Union City, Tennessee on the little
white microphone button, leaving the talk back for the situation
with Michael Brown on six point thirty khow and Denver.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Well, now wait a minute, you can't just do that.
I was fully expecting.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
To hear the weather report game here.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
I was ready to hear what the temperature in the
weather was. Good grief. You know, we make it so easy.
We play to the lowest common denominator in this audience.
So we play to all of you that have an
IQ of about twenty five, and then you do that,
and you can even you can't even get up to
a twenty five IQ.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
They always do seem to underwhelm.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
They just underwhelmed complete that. It's so disappointing when you
think about the work that you and I put in
and that's the best they can do.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Holy crap. You know, why do we even try, dragon,
Why do we even try?
Speaker 6 (31:18):
So?
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Just go home for the week. Yeah, And I'd like
to know, are you doing commercials for my patriots?
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Supply I don't recall hearing any now.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You don't recall like getting a check for doing that?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Oh me personally?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah? You?
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Oh oh yeah me either. Gooble number fifty eight eleven. Michael,
did you know that one of the commercials you and
Dragon make to put on the app is my Patriots
supply offering a three month supply of emergency food.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
I've never recorded anything.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
I don't see that anywhere in my notebook here of endorsements,
I don't do that.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
So, I mean, if they're looking for somebody, say you.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Guys are looking for somebody, you know, I'd be more
than happy to I think I think several years ago
I did one for out of Utah. I forget who
it was, but I did one for somebody out of Utah.
But here's the rest of the text message, offering a
three month supply of emergency food that delivers two hundred
and fifty calories per day.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
That's a little low.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
That seems a.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Little low to me too, Like that's kind of what
I get if I eat just a third of a Crumble.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Cookie, right, yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yeah? Do you know I've had two Crumble cookies in
the past, say, ten days? Nice, I just I don't
know why. I've just had a craving for Actually, I've
had three cookies in the past ten days, two Crumble
cookies and an Eileen's cookie.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
It's been a good week.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Yeah, and no weight game either. Now I won't check
my blood sugar, but you know, no weight game. I
mean they continue A Snickers bar probably gives you more
than that. You might want to look into that one.
Now we're not going to into it now. I love
this one. Eighty two sixty five rights Michael in Georgia.
See this's my point, guys, somebody listening in Georgia. In Georgia,
(33:09):
where I lived, the legislatures proposing banning cameras in school
zones due to municipalities leaving the cameras running during non
school hours. There's also a law in Georgia that prevents
local police and deputy sheriffs from using their radar for
speeders less than ten miles an hour over the posted
limit because of abuse. And you think that's ever going
(33:33):
to happen in Colorado where the money grubbing, you know,
bastards out of the Colorado Pullit Bureau. You know, I
learned yesterday that we have something called the Office of
Saving Colorado's Money. I forget the exact name of It's
something like, I'm not exaggerating, literally, the Office of Saving
(33:55):
taxpayers money? And do you know who the direct that
office is, the Colorado Lieutenant governor, and the governor, Jared Polis,
is paying her in addition to her ninety three thousand
dollars a year salary to be the lieutenant to be
on standby. That's what lieutenant governors do, they're on standby.
(34:20):
He pays her to run, he pays her to run
the office of saving the taxpayers money. Yes, that's how
stupid speaking of low IQs, that's exactly the kind of
IQ that Jared Polis and the communists out of the
polit bureau think that you and I have. So she's
made some six hundred thousand dollars additional in addition to
(34:43):
what she makes as Lieutenant governor running the office of
State of saving taxpayers money. He can't make this crap up.
He cannot make it up. And we're all upset about,
well about we, but they are all upset about Doge
and Elon Musk. By the way, did you see X
his son picking his nose on national TV yesterday in
(35:04):
the Oval office.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
As a kid does it was glorious, Absolutely glorious.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Wait till he gets to be old enough to understand
and his friends say, who look what you did, you dummy,
Good morning from Wyoming. It is currently a balmy minus
two degrees in the window of the country, and I'm
getting ready to pop some more corn and enjoying the
leptist tears. Have a great hump day.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
It is hump day.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Popcorn in this early though? What popcorn in this early?
Speaker 4 (00:25):
You know, popcorn is one of those things that you
could probably eat just about any time.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It was originally like a cereal, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Oh, I don't know, was sure?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Okay? You know, if there was a big month's big
cans of.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
You know, holiday popcorn popcorn out there, and.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
There's always one, you know, usually divided into either thirds
or fourth and there's always one that nobody ever touches,
and then the other was that disappeared quickly?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yeah, yeah, well.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I you know.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Popcorn right now. I I'd eat something right now. I
got up and shoveled the driveway on the sidewalk this morning,
so I'm, you know, I'm kind of ready to eat something,
kind of hungry.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I think there's still some chocolate out there.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Don't why nobodys touched the chocolate? Do you remember yesterday
I talked about we talked about Palestine for a while,
and we talked a little bit about how well I
often reference Ecclesiastes and there's nothing new under the sun. Well,
yesterday King Abdullah from Jordan was in the White House
(01:35):
and he had a few things to say which I
found kind of interesting, and I want to go back
and revisit just a little bit of that history of Palestine.
But before I do that, just an observation. And this
all started last night with I get some emails from Corproot.
(01:55):
In fact, let me just pull one up, because it's
just kind of funny how they how they do this.
The first so Angela, whom I have no idea who
it is, sends an email to sixty four different people,
four of whom are in this building, including yours, truly,
(02:15):
and it's.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
About it says.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
The subject line is meeting request join us in promoting
iHeart Okay, well all right, and then it's about we're
launching some exciting internal campaign and you want to feature
our top talent. Well, I'm glad to be on that
list of top talent. But maybe it's probably probably a
mistake and they didn't realize what they had done. So
(02:38):
I'm reading through this email and I'm thinking, okay, this
is some internal thing. It's you know, is it? In
other words, is it going to any moodlah in this
for Molah? And I'm thinking no, and join us in
promoting iHeart and exciting internal campaign. Well, okay, what to
(03:04):
to get more of us.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
To do a lot? I can't figure it out.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
But then that led me to this whole thought process
about how in eighteen to twenty years on. You know,
I always say eighteen twenty years. I don't know how
to count the first year that I was here where
they didn't really pay me, and it was just, you know,
I would come in on Saturdays in Koa and do
a couple of hours in Koa, and so I don't
(03:30):
know whether to count that or not. It's not part
of my official start date, but it's it's when I
started in radio, I guess you would say. So it
goes back, you know, nineteen twenty years. And I was
thinking about as I was driving in this morning, I'm
thinking about, oh, you know, dang it, now I've got
another meeting after the program, and then I've got this
other meeting that I've got to do. That's you know,
(03:51):
about this internal this I'm sorry, exciting internal campaign, and
so I'm thinking about I'm going to be in this building,
you know, only till probably, you know, early afternoon today
it's you know, it's only six ten ams, Like I
don't want to do that. And on the way in,
you know, it's, uh, I shovel the driveway, shovel the sidewalk.
(04:12):
Get a little bit of exercise in this morning. And
I'm thinking, remember when Peter Boyles sat in this chair,
Remember when did you ever did you ever listen to
Pete Dragon?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Not?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
No, Pe had this funny thing which it wasn't unique
to him. Local radio does it, did it and to
some degree, like Colorado Mornings, Colorado Morning News will still
do it. But because this audience, because you are scattered
(04:45):
all over the country, and do you really care what
this guy's kind of goes back like to the Network News,
which was on the news this morning, is like a man,
do you really care what the weather is other than
where you live or other than maybe someplace that you're
getting ready to go to, Like, you know, I plan
to go see my mom over the long upcoming weekend,
(05:10):
and so I kind of care about what the weather's
going to be like between here and Wallsenburg and Trinidad
and Ratone and finally getting into the Oklahoma panandle.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So I'm kind of I am kind of.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Watching that to kind of see what that looks like,
to see if I can actually make it this time.
But other than that, I don't really care because I
have no trips playing to the East coast, or to
the West coast, or to the Gulf of America coast
or to the Canadian border. I really have no trips planning,
so I really only care about what's the weather right here.
But as I'm driving in now, I have been switching
(05:41):
back and forth now between Fox Headlines and Fox the
Whatever Maria Botoromo calls her program over on Fox Business,
and sure enough, on both of them, they're giving the
National weather Report. And as I'm driving on the highway
at normal speed because it's just a dry it's champagne powder,
(06:03):
as we would call it in Colorado, they start giving
the National Weather Report. And that leads me to thinking
about I can remember when because I thought about doing
a weather report when I came in this morning. I
thought about, you know, because remember somebody got mad yesterday
dragon because they couldn't wait for nine o'clock to get
here so they could listen ton back and listen to
(06:23):
some real news as opposed to listening to whatever fall
to roll.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
We were talking about.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yesterday morning, we were Laurel Hardy, can't wait till Glenn
Beck gets yes.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
So you can listen to real radio.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
So I was thinking this morning, what can I cause,
you know, mister passive aggressive, what can I do to
piss off the listeners this morning? As I get here,
I mean, I'm I'm literally thinking that what can I
do that will irritate that one individual. I'm now focused
on that one individual? What can I do?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
And I thought, oh, I could give the weather report?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
And then that led me to thinking about thinking about
how Pete would come in and Pete would talk about
it's six twelve fifty five am in Denver, Colorado, and
it's you know, it's three degrees outside, and he'd be
looking out the window and it's foggy and it is
snowing a little bit, and he'd give a weather report.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
We got the weather report from the talkback from Wyoming,
so that's good.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yeah, And then that kind of reinforced, you know, the
whole idea that it's it's you know whatever, it was
below zero up there. Well, it was three degrees on
my driveway this morning, because I you know, I checked
when I walked out to shovel to drive it was
three degrees. And right now it is it's well, it's
three degrees. Yeah, it's three degrees. And there's a there's
a slight. I don't know whether it's actually snowing or
(07:30):
it's just the dry snow that's blowing around in the air.
And it's it's foggy and cloudy at and it's colder
than a well digger's ass. And it's now six thirteen
thirty nine in the Mountain time zone. That would be
like every five minutes, he'd be doing the weather and giving.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Us the time.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
That's beautiful and we and we need like a dog
like a dean like it's now six thirteen fifty three.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Dean thick and it's three degrees outside.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
And anyway, it's just how how drastically radio has changed.
Because Pete was speaking to and you know that I do.
When you probably think about the ratio of stories that
I do, it's probably seventy five twenty five at best,
seventy five twenty five national worldwide international news versus twenty
(08:21):
five percent say local news. And it was just the
opposite with probably Pete, it was probably ninety five percent
local stuff. Generally John been a Ramsey and that was
just about it, and then occasionally might throw in something that,
you know, because he hated George Bush, or something that
George Bush had done. And radio has just so drastically
changed that it's you know, you're now speaking whether you eat.
(08:46):
Local hosts everywhere are generally speaking to audience that is
all across the country, and nobody gives a round to
ask what the weather is. At the same time that
television has become so desperate to try to get eyes
and ears onto those TV screens that they're now giving
you a national weather report, which doesn't mean squat weather
(09:09):
is so localized. Think about how localized weather is because
while you might, for example, Dave Fraser last night's giving
the weather on KDVR, and he's showing the entire state
of Colorado and he gives the temperatures all around the
state and everything else. But then he does something that's
incredibly smart because we have what's called our DMA, which
(09:32):
is our marketing area and our marketing area is that
area upon which our ratings are calculated. And so while
Fraser will give the overall weather around Colorado, you know,
England and wood Springs is going to be this, and
Montrois is going to be this, and out in you know,
in Sterling it'll be this, and down in Springfield it
(09:56):
might be X. So he covers all four corners of
the state. But then he goes, now, let's talk about
where we are. That's that's designed to oh now, let's
pay attention, because unless I'm going to Montrose today, I
really don't care what the weather is in Montrose.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
So it's.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
They and of course it's a local stations are predominantly
local news, so they're even on the weather report. They
may start big, but boy, they zoom right in because
they want to tease you.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
And I've noticed this too about the weather.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
They will give you a short, very short synopsis of
kind of what it's going to do in very generalized
terms at the beginning of the newscast. But for the
detailed weather, you've got to stay through three or four segments.
And of course that's they're teasing the weather to get
you to stay to listen.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
To the weather. It's just fascinating to me about.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
How we consume all of this combination of news, weather, sports, entertainment,
everything that we talk about, and how it's flip flopped
and nobody cares anymore. How many times do I how
many times in a week dragon, do you think I
say that you're listening to the situation with Michael Brown
(11:12):
on six point thirty K How.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Hardly?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Never.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
I don't think I ever do. I don't think I
ever give the call letters to this station.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
We gave that tesk to the rules of Engagement people
and they do that top of the hour. So yeah,
it's and but you don't do it anymore, No, And we.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Only have them do it so that people listening other
places because now you're not listening. Just like the guy
in Wyoming, I don't know whether he's listening in, but
I don't know whether the signal, you know, based on
the weather today, is actually getting up to where he is.
And I'm going to assume, you know, Cheyenne or somewhere.
I don't know whether it's fully getting there or is he
(11:51):
listening on the iHeart app? Is he listening on his phone?
Because how many people have a transistor radio, you know,
in their in their house. It's as the world gets
more and more interconnected, all of the ways that we
consume news and the information that we want, and we
(12:16):
get to choose the information that we want by going
to particular places. The delivery of that news has changed dramatically.
And I come in here and I rarely, if ever,
Now I do have to every single day because we
have the Michael Brown Minute that plays over on Freedom,
(12:37):
the station right behind me that plays during the day,
and the management directive on that was because that is
a station that carries only nationally syndicated programming, put in
some local tidbits on your Michael Brown Minute every day.
(12:58):
So that forces me to go find some local tidbit.
So the local tidbit for today was about this. In
the United Kingdom, speed cameras are everywhere and they track
and I remember the first time that I drove outside
of London and I actually wasn't driving. I was driving
with somebody else and they were all they're all firefighters,
(13:21):
and they were all cursing because they were in a
hurry to get me the Heathrow to catch my flight.
After having talked to this group of firefighters somewhere out
in the they were having a conference out on the
countryside somewhere, and they were all upset because they could
not speed, unlike here where we just take our ch
If you want to speed, you just take your chances
(13:41):
you're gonna get caught. Well, they've taken the cameras, and
they put cameras at every I don't know how often
they have them, every mile, every two miles, every kilometer,
every two kilometers, whatever it might be. But what they
do is they take a photo of your license plate
and then the next camera takes the license of yournse
(14:02):
photo of your license plate, and they calculate the time
it took you to travel between camera A and camera B,
calculate your speed, and if you're above and I mean
if you're just like one mile above the speed limit, boom,
you get a ticket. So everybody is so focused on
their speedometer, so focused on the speed limit, that they're
(14:22):
really not paying much attention to anything else. Because if
you just barely surprise that you're going to get a ticket,
well guess what, Colorado's going to start doing it. And
it's all, of course, of the name of safety. Now
they say it's because in construction zones, there has been
a ninety percent increase in the number of deaths in
(14:44):
a construction zone. So when you think ninety percent increase,
you think, holy cow, there's too many people being killed
in construction zones. Now I think one person being killed
in the construction zone is too many. It's a dangerous
job and you should be careful in construction zones. But
you know what the actual raw numbers were. It went
from like I don't know, I forget the exact number.
(15:06):
I don't have the story in front of me, but
it went from like sixteen to thirty four whatever it was,
So you know, some some drastic increase. So now they're
going to start putting those cameras and they're called safety
cameras in construction and not in all construction zones, just
in the most heavily offended construction zones, which apparently happened
(15:29):
to be in Colorado Springs in Alpasso County. And as
your car passes one of these cameras, if I guess
you are, you remember how they show your speed and
you know speed limit is forty five and it shows
that you're doing forty seven or whatever. If you're above that,
it's going to create what they call a puck. Now
(15:52):
I said, puck with a p puck, it's going to
create a puck. Now you're going to get with an
f later, but it creates a pun. And then when
you pass the next camera, it's going to take another
photo of your because that puck travels somehow electronically travels
from the first camera to the second camera. And then
it's going to calculate your speed. And listen to this.
(16:14):
They will calculate your speed between cameras and issue either
a citation or a warning if you're traveling more than
eleven miles an hour above the speed limit. And I thought,
holy crap, mile, if you're speeding more than eleven miles
an hour through a construction zone, you probably do deserve
(16:36):
to get a ticket, you know, because one or two miles,
even five miles, but eleven miles now, mark my words
about this. They're going to take that, and they'll start
it with construction zones. Then they will expand it to
four seventy, the twenty five, and the seventy. You know why,
(16:57):
because they already have the cameras there for the express lanes,
so they'll just you'll take the cameras and they'll start
using those cameras to calculate your speed, and then the
next thing you know, they'll be all over the state
of Colorado and there will be no cops, no due process,
no exceptions. You'll get a ticket, you'll pay the fine,
(17:18):
and it'll be them making money through technology, not through
law enforcement. That's where we're headed. That's again how everything,
whether it's you're listening to Michael Brown on six point
thirty k out at twenty three thirty four on Wednesday,
February twive, February twelve, and it's currently three degrees outside,
(17:41):
we've gone from that to nobody ever mentions that to
oh you have to have a cop actually catch you,
from catch you speeding, to where now we're going to
have just like the Brits, we're going to have we're
going to control your speed through electronics, through cameras, and
you're going to get a ticket. And just like the
express lane tickets, it's not going to be the meet
there's no due process. You can get a hearing if
(18:03):
you want, but they're just gonna rubber stamp and you're
gonna get the ticket regardless of well I had to
swerve into that lane because somebody was about to swerve
into me, or there was as one person pointed out,
there was a there was something blocking the road and
I had to go around to stop the vehicle or whatever.
They don't care, my Everything changes, Everything changes now, everything changes,
(18:25):
except when it comes to Gaza. Really nothing changes. Let's
go back in time to the New York Times nineteen
fifty three.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Official weather report from little Thing, Colorado. Snow cold, KINGO,
but you forgot to give your call signs. You got
to give your call signs. So yesterday King Abdullah shows
up at the White House, and King Abdullah's talking about
(19:03):
what they're willing to do in terms of refugees, because
Trumps announced that, you know, he wants to and I
just want to use the language of the cabal. Trump
wants to buy up, take over, uh confiscate, you know,
imminent domain, whatever you want to turn however you want
to phrase it. He wants to take over the Gaza
(19:23):
Strip and build it into a big, beautiful, giant, beautiful resort,
you know, a lovely place for people to live.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
It'll just be fantastic. He'll be wonderful. And of course,
as I said yesterday. Don't take Trump literally, but do
take Trump seriously to.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Take it under one authority.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
It is so.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I think you see to personally develop property in Gaza
after the.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Gas you know, I've had a great career in roast No.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
I'm not going to go over there and develop I've
I've had a great career in real estate. I'm not
going to go over there and do that. And as
as they continue these discussions, uh, King Abdullah decides that
you know, probably I might want to say something about
this plan.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
To follow up with one on that for King of Dullah,
can you clarify aga answer?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
How do you feel about the US taking Gaza? As
the President said, well, again, this is something.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
That we as Adams will be coming to the United
States with something that we're going to talk about later
to discuss all these options.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
We're you know, we're gonna talk other words, I'm not
going to give an answer. Uh, We're gonna We're gonna
have these discussions about what we'll do or what we'll
not do. And uh, you know, well we'll have these discussions.
The other thing that Abdullah said that I thought was
kind of interesting was the idea about what are you
going to do with the the Palestinians so called Palestinians
(21:00):
that are in the Gaza strip and King Abula kind
of gets stuck.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
Many people in the regium especially good and I'll worry
about the aleixation of the spine.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Will you get the macialcy the king guarantee that you
want to know Israel to Ano Spain. And I think
that's going to work out very well.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
That's not really what we're talking about today.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I think that's something that's going to work out automatically,
and it's in good shape. And we discussed that. Other
people have discussed it with us and with me.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
That's going to work out.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
West Bank is going to work out very well.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Why should the king take in the Palestinian people.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
He's made clear he doesn't want to.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
Well, I don't know, but he may have just something
to say because we discussed just briefly.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
I think maybe you want to say it now.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
Or well, mister President, I think we have to keep
in mind that there is a plant from Egypt and
the Arab countries. So we're being invited by having been
sent mind to discussions and riad I think the point
is is how to make this work.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
In a way that is there was a slight reference
there to you know, there's this plot of land and
there's you know, we got some discussions in about what
we could do in Egypt, and we're having discussions in
riodd you know. So there, you know, this is having
the effect that Trump wanted it to have. The Arabs
(22:23):
are now like, uh oh, the new sheriff in town, oh,
Yosemite Sam has shown up and he's got his barrels blazing,
and he's like, you know what, We're gonna completely shift
the paradigm here. We're not gonna keep doing the same
thing over and over and over and expecting a different result.
And the King is like, yeah, you know, we're having discussions, and.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
I'm good for everybody. Obviously, we have to look at
the best in dress of the United States, of the
people in the region, especially to my people of Jordan,
and we're going to have some interesting discussions today. I
think one of the things that we can do right
away is take two thousand children that are either cascid
children or in very hill state to Jordan as quickly
(23:03):
as possible and then wait for I think the Egyptians
to present their time on how we can work with
the president to work on a cause of chilches.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Now, this is wonderful. This is wonderful because here the
king is saying, So what we're gonna do is and
talk about a great chess move. We're gonna take two
thousand so called Palestinian children that have medical issues. We're
gonna take them immediately while Egypt, which is the obvious
(23:33):
place for them to go, while we figure out and
give Egypt time for them to have discussions with the
United States about what we're they're going to do. So
Jordan has set themselves up as you know, hey, we're
we're not going to do anything. So okay, we'll take
two thousand and six children Egypt. We're taking the sick kids.
What are you doing now? Just to prove that there
(23:58):
is nothing new under the sun. This is early similar,
not not entirely, but it shows that Trump I think
or somebody on Trump's team knows their history. Because this
plan for Gaza was essentially proposed in nineteen fifty three
(24:19):
by the United States and the United Kingdom with the
support of the United Nations at the time, managing a
population of one hundred and fifty thousand in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
The United Nations World Relief Agency that.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
UNRA they wanted to build a new city in Egypt
Sinai Desert in order to really relocate all the Gazan
residents into this new city. Water for this new city
would have been diverted from the Nile River. The US
and the World Bank would have spent about thirty million
dollars at the time to fund water diversion and also
(24:54):
fund building the Aswan Dam for Egypt, whose leader at
the time Nasser, was fully on board with this plane them. However, however,
the Muslim Brotherhood and the Communist Party operatives bet Matt
They actually got together at the UNRU schools of the
(25:15):
United Nations Schools in Gaza in nineteen fifty five and
organized a mini Intafada against NASA and the Egyptian ruler
of the Strip. NASA security agencies responded with live ammo
and they killed a few protesters. The politics was never
about Gaza, but part of the competition over who's going
(25:36):
to govern Cairo at the time. Now fearing that the
Islamist could outflank him on the right and the Communists
on the less left, Naser, through the leaders of both
of them, in prison, but also stopped any gas and
relocation to the Sinai. In response to that, President Eisenower
at the time froze the finds. Oh, that's a familiar phrase.
(25:58):
Where are we about that? President Eisenhower froze the funds
that were going to go that had been appropriated by
Congress to fund the Aswan dam But later NASA got
the Communists in the Soviet Union to.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Build the damn for him. So what's the point here?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
The bottom line is, back in the fifties, like it
is today, politics, it's not about the Gosins. It's not
about their interests or their living standards. Because if it
was about that, a brand new city would have been
a huge upgrade from the tent city that is in
Godsen now, and particularly since Israel's destroyed most of it,
as they rightfully had a right to do. But NASA
at the time in nineteen fifty three and his opponents
(26:38):
what were they doing. They were jocking for their own positions,
and the Gosins were, like they are today, just pawns
in this big game that cares little about them. They
don't care about them. So that led me to be
to dig around and see if I could find any
other evidence of this, and oh lo and behold The
New York Times July one, nineteen fifty three, headline you
(27:03):
in and Egypt Map Refugees project KI dateline Cairo, Special
to The New York Times, June thirty, published July one.
An agricultural development project in the Gaza Strip in the
northern coastal area the Sinai Peninsula. Same area we're talking
about now Philadelphia Crossing, which may ultimately provide livelihood for
(27:24):
fifty thousand of the two hundred and eight thousand Palestinian
refugees there was a subject of an agreement signed today
by the Egyptian government and the United Nations Relief and
Works Agency UNRA. The project, expected to take at least
four years to complete, will get thirty million dollars out
of two hundred million dollars approved by the un last
year for a plan looking toward the integration of refugees
(27:47):
a resident in all Arab countries, in other words, the
Arab back then we're trying to find.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Hey, listen, Egypt, We'll get you a damn built.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
And what we'll do is you will, in exchange with
this dam, you will provide a place for all these
crazy palastatings that nobody wants, that nobody anybody anywhere. Once
you'll provide that in the Sinai Desert and they can
go live in the desert and will have even a
water supply for them. Because we've gotten two hundred million
dollars out of all these other countries, including the United States,
(28:18):
to build a dam. The United States assessment amounts to
about three quarters of the funding. The agreement is actually limited,
as according to The New York Times, the agreement is
actually limited to a survey of the area's agricultural and
to a lesser extent, industrial possibilities. The survey will cost
about five hundred thousand dollars will take about.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
A year to do.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Subsequent agreements will be necessary correct to carry out the
recommendations of the survey, such as building roads, canals, wells,
and land reclamation and planting. Few, if any, refugees from
the Gods of Camps will be employed in the technical survey.
When the construction and reclamation projects begin, they will be
employed in increasing as laborers, and is hoping up to
(29:02):
fifty thousand of them will ultimately accept temporary settlement as farmers,
thus enabling their removal from the United Nations relief roles.
There truly is nothing new under the sun. So when
you hear all of this screaming about and again, don't
take Trump literally.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
He doesn't want to own Gaza, but.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
He does want to say, you know what, let's return
Gaza to the Israelis and let's tell the Arabs you
got to do something with these Palestinians. We're not going
to you know, we're not going to rebuild Palestine or
not going to rebuild the Gaza strip and allow the
so called Palestinians to move in, because they'll just allow
(29:45):
Hamas to come back in. Hamas is already coming back in.
And whether it's a year from now or two years
from now, or I don't know, ten minutes from now,
ha moths will do exactly the same thing and we'll
just you know, lather rents and repeat, repeat over and
over and over. So Trump's taking a lesson from history,
(30:06):
and Trump is saying to the Arabs, this time you're
gonna take them. You know what, I give him a
better than fifty to fifty chance that this time what
they tried in nineteen fifty three gets done.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
This is done from Union City, Tennessee on the little
white microphone button, leaving the talk back for the situation
with Michael Brown on six point thirty khow and Denver.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Well, now wait a minute, you can't just do that.
I was fully expecting.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
To hear the weather report game here.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
I was ready to hear what the temperature in the
weather was. Good grief. You know, we make it so easy.
We play to the lowest common denominator in this audience.
So we play to all of you that have an
IQ of about twenty five, and then you do that,
and you can even you can't even get up to
a twenty five IQ.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
They always do seem to underwhelm.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
They just underwhelmed complete that. It's so disappointing when you
think about the work that you and I put in
and that's the best they can do.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Holy crap. You know, why do we even try, dragon,
Why do we even try?
Speaker 6 (31:18):
So?
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Just go home for the week. Yeah, And I'd like
to know, are you doing commercials for my patriots?
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Supply I don't recall hearing any now.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You don't recall like getting a check for doing that?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Oh me personally?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah? You?
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Oh oh yeah me either. Gooble number fifty eight eleven. Michael,
did you know that one of the commercials you and
Dragon make to put on the app is my Patriots
supply offering a three month supply of emergency food.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
I've never recorded anything.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
I don't see that anywhere in my notebook here of endorsements,
I don't do that.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
So, I mean, if they're looking for somebody, say you.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Guys are looking for somebody, you know, I'd be more
than happy to I think I think several years ago
I did one for out of Utah. I forget who
it was, but I did one for somebody out of Utah.
But here's the rest of the text message, offering a
three month supply of emergency food that delivers two hundred
and fifty calories per day.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
That's a little low.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
That seems a.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Little low to me too, Like that's kind of what
I get if I eat just a third of a Crumble.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Cookie, right, yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yeah? Do you know I've had two Crumble cookies in
the past, say, ten days? Nice, I just I don't
know why. I've just had a craving for Actually, I've
had three cookies in the past ten days, two Crumble
cookies and an Eileen's cookie.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
It's been a good week.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Yeah, and no weight game either. Now I won't check
my blood sugar, but you know, no weight game. I
mean they continue A Snickers bar probably gives you more
than that. You might want to look into that one.
Now we're not going to into it now. I love
this one. Eighty two sixty five rights Michael in Georgia.
See this's my point, guys, somebody listening in Georgia. In Georgia,
(33:09):
where I lived, the legislatures proposing banning cameras in school
zones due to municipalities leaving the cameras running during non
school hours. There's also a law in Georgia that prevents
local police and deputy sheriffs from using their radar for
speeders less than ten miles an hour over the posted
limit because of abuse. And you think that's ever going
(33:33):
to happen in Colorado where the money grubbing, you know,
bastards out of the Colorado Pullit Bureau. You know, I
learned yesterday that we have something called the Office of
Saving Colorado's Money. I forget the exact name of It's
something like, I'm not exaggerating, literally, the Office of Saving
(33:55):
taxpayers money? And do you know who the direct that
office is, the Colorado Lieutenant governor, and the governor, Jared Polis,
is paying her in addition to her ninety three thousand
dollars a year salary to be the lieutenant to be
on standby. That's what lieutenant governors do, they're on standby.
(34:20):
He pays her to run, he pays her to run
the office of saving the taxpayers money. Yes, that's how
stupid speaking of low IQs, that's exactly the kind of
IQ that Jared Polis and the communists out of the
polit bureau think that you and I have. So she's
made some six hundred thousand dollars additional in addition to
(34:43):
what she makes as Lieutenant governor running the office of
State of saving taxpayers money. He can't make this crap up.
He cannot make it up. And we're all upset about,
well about we, but they are all upset about Doge
and Elon Musk. By the way, did you see X
his son picking his nose on national TV yesterday in
(35:04):
the Oval office.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
As a kid does it was glorious, Absolutely glorious.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Wait till he gets to be old enough to understand
and his friends say, who look what you did, you dummy,
