know three sheets to the wind is nautical term?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
The sheet? You want to know the history.
Speaker 8 (02:46):
The sheet is the line that controls the sales of
a ship.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I believe, I believe that's how they were.
Speaker 8 (02:52):
And if the line, if that line is not secured,
then the sail will flop in win as I understand it,
and the ship will lose.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Headway and then of course lose control.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:06):

Speaker 8 (04:05):
Our next caller is Paul Bayer, who tells a story
about his chance meeting with Elvis.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I'm an Elvis nutt. Many of you are as well.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
And if you missed the show recently, we celebrated his birthday,
his ninetieth birthday in grand fashion. And by the way,

(04:39):
podcast that you can download free wherever you get your podcasts,
So the iHeartRadio app, you can iTunes, Spotify, wherever you
listen to podcasts. You can listen to our show every
single show. You can go back and listen to shows
for quite some time anyway. So he met Elvis in
(05:00):
nineteen seventy two at the astral World Hotel, which was
a cool, funky hotel in Houston where we live.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
My name is Paul Bryer.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Nineteen seventy two, I was in the Astroyal Hotel. I
was taking the leaks on the second floor. A security
guard got me, took me downstairs, told me I had
no business on that floor. And I was in the
basement and the doors open and Elvis Presley was standing
(05:32):
right there shook my hand. And it was in nineteen
seventy two at the concert at the Astro Yal Hotel.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I'm at the Astro Hotel.
Speaker 8 (05:42):
This next fella is tickled about something that we played
on the show. It always I don't think he gives
his name.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I always.
Speaker 8 (05:51):
I always enjoy when we can make people laugh, because
if we can laugh, we can get through all this craziness.
And that's sort.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Of the goal of all this, Michael Mary.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I just listened to her.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Even showed Papa trop Friday, and I just got a
laugh and laugh, laugh. And somebody just called in and
talked about it. The ideal that got run over, my
damn law more and everything. And I listened to I
thing a couple of times. If I called in the
last time y'all played it, I guess it was no years.
(06:24):
It was somebody anyway. I just call every right now,
and I hope whoever listens this recording, I get a
laugh out of it. Y'all doing a damn good job.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Almost shut up.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Let somebody else talk now.
Speaker 8 (06:40):
Paul Ryan was on CNBC squad Box when the host
Joe Kernin had him on the verge of tears. Remember,
Paul Ryan was the leader of Republicans in the House
of Representatives and just like a lot of these people,
when they didn't get their way when Trump came in,
when the party began, these people ran. And now they
(07:04):
sound like Democrats, they act like democrats, they praise Democrats,
and they hate Trump because they hate you.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
So now you're calling for unity.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I am calling for unity.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
That's nice.
Speaker 10 (07:15):
Yeah, that would have been nice before the election.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
He won.
Speaker 10 (07:18):
Look, the other thing I thought was funny that you
said was when you said, hey, look I want Trump
to succeed. You know who that sounds like. It sounds
like a Democrat. It's like a democrat.
Speaker 11 (07:28):
Well, a lot of Democrats sound like that. Well, of
course you want Trump to succeed.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You're a Republican.
Speaker 11 (07:32):
Look, I'm a conservative Republican. I a free market limited
But you know what I'm saying, that's who I hear.
But my brand of conservatism doesn't always overlap.
Speaker 10 (07:41):
I understand, but it was. It was binary. But you know,
we argued about that. I know we are buying on
a binary all along. It was always binary, and a
vote not for Trump was a vote for Kamala Harrison.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And here's the paget. I know you want to get
age at this.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Here's the point.
Speaker 11 (07:55):
A lot of this agenda my kind of conservatism Trump populism.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
It overlaps. Disagree on trade and things like that.
Speaker 11 (08:01):
I'm not with trade fights on China, but I'm not
a big fan of all the terriss and our allies.
But the point is all this other stuff, the tax policy,
the deader policy, the deregulatory policy, very.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Good for America.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
It's so good for them.
Speaker 11 (08:15):
Only gets done, and I think it's important.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
That Republican state unify. I don't care if somebody dis
stakes shoot. You can't shoot Michael. It's been booked.
Speaker 8 (08:27):
President Trump old Don Dan Bongino that the hostages may
have never been released if his team had not gotten involved.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
And you know what, I believe that to be true.
I do believe that to be true.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
This AUDIOI is courtesy of the Dan Bongino Show, where
Donald Trump made the statement.
Speaker 12 (08:48):
If we weren't involved in this deal, the deal would
have never happened. No deal would have happened, and the
hostages would never have probably seen life again, but they
certainly wouldn't have been released for a long time. Now,
we changed the course out of it, and we changed
it fast, and frankly, it better be done before I
(09:10):
take the oaths of office, and I assume it is now.
You know, we shook hands and we signed certain documents, but.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
It better be done.
Speaker 12 (09:18):
But no, and it was so ungracious that Biden to said,
oh he did it.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
He didn't do anything.
Speaker 12 (09:24):
If I didn't do this, if we didn't get involved,
the hostages would never be out.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
They would have never come out.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Very much like the Jimmy Carter situation with Rega.
Speaker 8 (09:34):
Joe Biden's Attorney General, Merrick Garland addressed his prosecutors, the
people who work for him, the low lives who worked
for him, and told them that he was proud of
the work they did.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
With January sixth.
Speaker 8 (09:51):
These people, they don't want to put bad guys in prison.
They want to put patriots in prison, and I want
them to pay for it. I want retribution. I'm not
a forgive and forget kind of guy. I'm a vindication guy.
I'm a vengeance guy. I'm a justice guy. That's that's
(10:13):
what I am. I'm a justice guy.
Speaker 13 (10:16):
You protected our country's democratic institutions from violence and threats
of violence.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
You charge more.
Speaker 13 (10:23):
Than fifteen hundred people for criminal conduct that occurred during
the January sixth attack on the Capitol, as well as
in the days and weeks leading up to that attack.
You brought to justice those who kicked, punched, beat and
tased law enforcement officers who were protecting the capital that day.
(10:43):
And you pursued accountability for that attack on our democracy
wherever it led, guided only by your commitment to following
the facts and the law, I am proud.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Of the work you have done.
Speaker 13 (11:00):
I am equally proud of the way you have done
that work.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Ceeing is.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
Jim Acosta says that journalists are not enemies of the people.
So Jim Acosta is the guy who accosts Trump constantly.
He stands at the back of the room and screams
out at Trump. He's absolutely obsessed with Trump. He's probably
secretly thrilled that Trump's coming back because now CNN will
maybe give him a little more airtime. He's a nut,
(11:28):
but anyway, he says, they are the protectors of the people.
You know what's funny about this. They hate the every man.
They hate the common man. They act like they're protecting
the common man from Trump.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
The common man loves Trump and hates this guy.
Speaker 14 (11:44):
I take a moment to talk about something President Biden
said during his farewell address. He warned the free press
is crumbling in this country. I would add that's only
if we, the people let that happen. Journalists exist to
seek the truth, to tell people's story, to lift up
voices that may not be heard otherwise, to shine a
light on injustice, and to hold the powerful accountable. We
(12:08):
are not the enemy of the people. We are the
defenders of the people. Walter Cronkite once said freedom of
the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy.
I want to take him on there to show you something.
A woman sent me this sign eight years ago. She
carried it here at a march in Washington. She wrote
on the back of the sign to me and the
(12:29):
press here in DC, you have our support to Nora
wherever you are. Right back at you, reporting from Washington,
I'm Jim Acosta.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
In the random news story category two win.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
A non binary.
Speaker 8 (12:50):
It's the term this person uses city councilor that means
you're confused.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
You don't know if you're a he or a she.
Maybe you're everything or maybe you're nothing. I don't know.
It's non binary. That's so silly.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
City councilor announced that she is taking a month long
leave because she feels unsafe after being.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Misgendered. City councilor.
Speaker 8 (13:19):
They call it a city councilor in Massachusetts, we call
it a councilman in Texas. The story is from ABC
five in Boston.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
That city councilor filing a complaint with Wooster's Office of
Diversity Equity, and inclusion, and they're taking a month long break.
They say it's for emotional and mental safety. Worster City
Councilor at Large to new end taking a month long
mental health break. Accusing the mayor and council of a
toxic culture. New En uses the pronouns they them and
(13:53):
says it's not safe to show up to meetings in person.
Speaker 15 (13:56):
I really really wish I fell safe enough to show
up on the council floor, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Last night, when talking about remote participation, Nwen accused the
mayor and another councilor, Kathleen Toomey, of using the wrong pronouns.
Newen also says Counselor Candy Marrow Carlson repeatedly called them it.
Speaker 11 (14:15):
I have face transphobia with being this gender and recently learned.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
That I have been.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Dehumanized to a point where I'm being referred to as
it by my colleagues on this council.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Counselor to me says, early on when the councilor was elected,
I did make an honest error in addressing the counselor,
and may have done so a few times, for which
I apologized. There has never been any intentional or consistent misgendering.
I have been mindful to address the counselor respectfully in
the manner in which they identify. Over the past three years, I.
Speaker 16 (14:47):
Have spoken with city staff who've confirmed that Councilor new
Yen was referred to as an it.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Buy a counselor, counselor Christian King troubled by what he's heard.
Speaker 16 (15:05):
I condemned to savow any sort of political host facility
based on someone's being.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Now councilor Merrow Carlson telling us. While I do not
recall making the statements in question, I acknowledged that it
was a challenging and emotional week where difficult conversations took place.
These claims, however, misrepresent my character, my record, and the
values I have consistently upheld. We did reach out to
the mayor and we also reached out to counsel Our
(15:35):
new In, but did not hear back from either. The
city Manager's office confirms and investigation is underway. We're live
in Wster Sharmanskady WCVB Newstterpun.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Add a little bit about these war houses. I know
all about.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Ramon wants to know what around the world is.
Speaker 11 (15:51):
Whistling bungholes, splen splitters, Whisker biscuits, Honkey riders, whoskerdoes Hohosker don'ts,
nips and dazers, whether without the scooter.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Stick or one single whistling kiddy Jason.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
Now, some people are just insecure, and so they tear
themselves down because that's how they feel about themselves.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
And then there are those rare people.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
Rodney Dangerfield perhaps comes to mind before anyone, maybe the
best of all time, who can make you like them
by making fun of them selves and you know they're
in on the act. Well, I gotta say Bob Buker
was great. Bob Uker is a is a cultural phenomenon.
(16:38):
He's a guy who became famous for being a longtime
professional baseball player who wasn't very good and pointed it out,
but pretended to think he was a really big deal.
You if as a man, I won't speak to the women.
If as a man, you have never in your life said, oh,
(17:03):
almost be done on the front row. If you've never
said that, and you're over the age of fifty, I
don't know where you grew up or who you are,
because I've said it a million times.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Bob Ucker passed away. I guess it was yesterday or
the day before. I can't recall. At the ripe old
age of ninety. He lived a long life and a
good life, and he enjoyed his life. He was the.
Speaker 8 (17:31):
Primary broadcaster for the Milwaukee Brewers for the last fifty
four years, and he loved baseball. Youke made his Major
League baseball debut as a catcher with the club back
in nineteen sixty two. Before the sixty four season, the
Braves traded Uker to the Cardinals out of Saint Louis.
(17:54):
He seldom played for the Cardinals, but he was a
member of the sixty four World Series champions with the Cards.
After the Sea five season, they traded Uker to the Phillies.
On June sixth, nineteen sixty seven, the Phillies traded Uker
back to the Braves, now based in Atlanta. His six
year major league career concluded in nineteen sixty seven. And
(18:15):
before you think that's not very long, that's a long
time to play in the pros.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Most guys don't get a chance.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
Almost nobody ever gets a chance to play one game,
much less six years. Bob Uker will be remembered for
his comedic wit. Here is Bob Yuker at his Hall
of Fame induction ceremony, telling a story about his dad
buying him a football.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I love this story.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
My dad wanted me to have everything that everybody else had.
I think the first thing that he ever bought me
was a football. And I was very young, and he
didn't know a lot about it. He came from the
old country, and uh, I mean we tried to pass
it and throw it and kick it, and we couldn't
do it. And it was very discouraging for him and
for me, and almost we almost quit. And finally we
(19:02):
had a nice enough neighbor came over and put some air.
Speaker 8 (19:05):
In it, and what a what a difference. He then
reminisced about being signed by the Braves for a whopping
three thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
I signed a very modest three thousand dollars bonus with
the Braves in Milwaukee, which I'm sure a lot of
you know, and my old man didn't have that kind
of money to put out, but the Braves took it.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I remember sitting.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Around our kitchen table counting all this money coins out
of jars, and I'm telling my dad, let's forget this.
I don't want to play. He said, no, you are
going to play beast Board. We're going to have you
make some money and we're going to.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Live with it. Good. My dad had an accent.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
I want to be real authentic when I'm doing this thing,
So I signed.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
The signing took place at a very popular restaurant in Milwaukee.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
And I remember driving and my dad's all all fired
up and nervous, and I said, look, it'll be over
in a couple of minutes, don't be uptight. We pull
in the parking lot, pull next to the Braves automobile,
and my dad screws up right away. He doesn't have
the window rolled up far enough, and our tray falls
off and all the food is on the floor. And
(20:17):
from there on it was baseball. It's all in his delivery.
That's why he was a great broadcaster.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
Bob Youucker went on the Tonight Show again the Cultural Phenomenon,
and he taught Johnny Carson how to.
Speaker 15 (20:30):
Catch a knuckleball. This this is another really good one.
I'm not quite sure what this is. This is a
series of montage. If your picture what does this show?
First picture?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Where up right?
Speaker 7 (20:43):
Johnny? Remember when I talked about catching the knuckleball.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Right.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
Uh, the easiest way to catch it was to wait
until it stopped rolling and just pick it up.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I see there it is on the ground. You're looking
around for the ball there in the middle picture.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
Then the umpire finally picked it up and gave it
to me, and I made you make throw.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You know.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
Interestingly, after all those years and baseball and broadcast and
everything else, Bob Buker will probably most be remembered and
certainly was best known outside of baseball for the Miller
Like commercials that Miller ran for years that were so
(21:35):
darn good. You remember this, you.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Know, one of the best things about being the next
big leaguers getting previous to the game called the front
office bingo. And once these fans recognized me, I probably
won't even have to be for my life here from Miller.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I love them, these fans.
Speaker 12 (21:50):
No, I'd drink like because it's less filling and it
tastes great.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Good seat, sir, wrong, say, buddy, almost be in the front.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Row my flight beer from Miller. Thing you always wanted
in the beer unless.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
Let's see, hey, buddy, he missed the tag.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
He missed the tag?
Speaker 2 (22:08):
How about this one.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
All right, Maybe I wasn't the greatest player of all time,
but fans may forgive and forget. When I go in here,
they'll be buying me my favorite beer light, beer familiar.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
You love you?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
How you doing about these fans?
Speaker 8 (22:22):
I love them.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
They know our sex.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
Big leaguers dreg light because it's less filling and it
tastes great.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
For well.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I can't keep the gang waiting.
Speaker 13 (22:31):
Joviller anything he always wanted in the beunless.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Wow, they're having a good time in there.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
And many folks will remember him outside of baseball in
a baseball movie that was very popular. You will remember
him as Harry Doyle in the movie Major League Again.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Everybody Harry Doyle.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
And you're welcoming all of you friends with the feather
to another season of Indians.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Based a lot of new faces in chief.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Wahoo's tribed this year as they take on the defending
American League champs, the New York Yankees, and hopefully we'll
have some of the names that go with those faces
before their first at back. Anyway, listen to the roar
of the crowd as the Indians take the field. Yes, sir,
(23:25):
they love this club here in Cleveland. Just a reminder
fans about Die Hard Night coming up here at the stadium.
Free admission to anyone who was actually alive the last
time the Indians won a.
Speaker 8 (23:36):
Penantve rest in peace. Bob Buker, you gave us a
lot of good memories. I just realized I'm looking through
my notes here as we close out the week. I
did not tell you earlier in the show. CNN was
found liable today for defamation of Navy veteran Zachary Young.
Jury found that Young was entitled to four million in
economic damages and one million in emotional DAMA images, as
(24:01):
well as punitive damages, and those haven't been determined yet.
Now remember, punitive damages are not related to your actual loss.
Punitive damages are damages as punishment, all right, after you
pay to make him whole, Now we're going to make
you pay an amount that will make you remember in
the future not to do this again. That's gonna be
(24:23):
the big one. That's gonna be a big number, and
I'm here for it. Congratulations CNN.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Michael Barry.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I would like to close the show to day with.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
Someone that I deeply admire talking about something that I
think is very important. The person I deeply admire is
Thomas Soule. He is an economist, He is a brilliant man,
and he, along with Clarence Thomas, should be held up
as great thinkers and writers and speakers in American society
(25:13):
who happened to be black. But instead they're called nasty
names because they shatter the myth that black people all
want welfare.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I love Thomas Sol, and so we closed for that reason.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
We closed the show with Thomas Sol explaining how Obama
fooled an entire.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Nation or intellectual in chief.
Speaker 17 (25:31):
Barack Obama got his BA from Columbia, his jd from Harvard.
He taught for a number of years at the University
of Chicago Law School. May I suppose that Thomas Sol
is duly impressed.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
You might say the road the hell is paid with
Ivy League degrees. All right.
Speaker 17 (25:52):
A few clips of the President of the United States
delivering his State of the Union address earlier this year.
Speaker 18 (25:58):
Clip number one, Education can't be a luxury. It is
an economic imperative that every family in.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
America should be able to afford higher education and imperative.
Speaker 17 (26:12):
All he's asking is that all young Americans should have
the same opportunity to get a really good education that
Tom Soul had.
Speaker 19 (26:19):
Tom I love the way the use of the word opportunity.
You know, I had as much opportunity to become an
NBA star as Michael Jordan had. It just happens that
there was some difference in skill. And so the same
thing with education. There is no point trying to run
people through institutions that they have very little interest.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
In and that they may not be suited for.
Speaker 19 (26:42):
In fact, I would argue that one of the problems
of American education is you have a lot of people
in college who have no interest in what a college
is supposed to be, nor is there any reason why
they should.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
And so the so you watered.
Speaker 19 (26:56):
Down the education of the people who they had to
get an education because of the people who are not
there for that purpose and who and who you're trying
to appease in some way.
Speaker 17 (27:06):
And is the impulse that we just saw of Barack
Obama and his supporters to in constantly more and more
people run them through college, run them into college. And
that's what that's to enhance the standing of intellectuals in society,
to teach more and more Americans, to defer to intellectuals
is that part of what's going.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
On is to win votes.
Speaker 17 (27:28):
Frankly, all right, straightforward is that President Obama once again.
Speaker 18 (27:33):
I will not seed the wind or solar or battery
industry to China or Germany because we refuse to make
the same commitment. Here we've subsidized oil companies for a century.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
That's long enough. This is pre Celendro courtse pre cylinder.
Speaker 10 (27:55):
You know.
Speaker 19 (27:55):
There's notion that picking out something and call it a
good thing, like education or affordable housing or whatever it
might be, everything is a.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Matter of trade off. Uh God, what did the band
say there?
Speaker 17 (28:09):
That if he will not seed wind or sol or
baddest battery, the battery industry to China or Germany because
we refuse to make the same commitment.
Speaker 19 (28:16):
It's amazing that here is a man talking about five
different industries, in none of which he has the slightest experience,
you know, But because he has these degrees from the
places you mentioned, he thinks, and people have told him
how clever he is, he now thinks that he can
can do this.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
So can you No human big on this planet could
do this.
Speaker 17 (28:35):
Can you explain, Tom the particular appeal to intellectuals of
the kind you describe here, of the green movement, of
the environmental movement.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Oh, it shows them again in the role of relish.
Speaker 19 (28:45):
They're they're the wise and noble forcing the rest, forcing
the rest of us poor dummies to do what's right,
you know, even though we don't want to.
Speaker 17 (28:54):
So it's what your old friend Carl Marx would have
described as the will to power. Yes, all right, you
don't want to cut them a little sleigh, that's I mean,
you're just saying it's ego and pride and vanity.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yes, all right.
Speaker 17 (29:09):
Once again, the president of the United States tax.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Reforms should follow the buffet rule.
Speaker 18 (29:14):
If you make more than a million dollars a year,
you should not pay less than thirty percent in taxes.
And my Republican friend Tom Coburn is right, Washington should
stop subsidizing millionaires. In fact, if you're earning a million
dollars a year, you shouldn't get special tax subsidies or deductions.
(29:34):
On the other hand, if you make under two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars a year, like ninety eight percent
of American families, your taxes shouldn't go up.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
I love it when people keep their own money. That's
called subsidizing them. I love it.
Speaker 19 (29:52):
That's their brillions of intellectuals that they can use words
in such a valuable way that they can. Obama has
an absolute out for saying things that make no sense
but not only sound plausible but inspiring. You know, we're
subsidizing the oil companies when they deduct the cost of
doing business in order to arrive at the figure out
(30:13):
how much net income they have.
Speaker 17 (30:15):
Everybody does that, right, So this notion though, that that
if you, if you're rich, you ought to pay more
straightforward enough. No, it is straightforward of us. It's also
straightforward nonsense.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Why is that? People don't.
Speaker 19 (30:35):
They often speak of people who are rich as people
who happen to have money. Right, extremely few people happened
to have money. There aren't that many Rockefellers. Well, but
Rockefeller didn't happen to have money, but his as happened
to have money.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
So you're doing rocket rocket Rockefeller.
Speaker 19 (30:52):
Rockefeller reduced the coil cost of oil to a fraction
of what it had been before him, benefiting millions of
people across the country. Therefore, they bought their oil from
Rockefeller rather than from people who had more expensive ways
of producing oil, for example, one of them being the
use of tank cars on the railroads. The progressives were
(31:12):
were livid that Rockefeller could ship his oil at a
cheaper price than the other producers. It never occurred to
them an Rockefeller shipped his oil in tank cars, which
are a hell of a lot cheaper to transport than
in barrels. I mean, we still measure oil in barrels today,
but we ship it in tankers, right, And that's how
he became a multi billionaire.
Speaker 17 (31:34):
So we know from the study of economic history that
wealthy people get wealthy by creating jobs, lowering prices, yes products,
Rather than Bill Gates, the richest man in America, one
of the richest men in the world, invented and invented
an entire industry that simply didn't All right, we know
all that. And we also know, as we mentioned earlier,
that cutting taxes worked to spur economic growth in the twenties,
(31:57):
again under John Kennedy and the six it was Johnson
who ended up most of the tax customer place, let's
call it under the sixties, and then again in Ronald Riggan.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
And George W. Bush and George W. Bush.
Speaker 17 (32:09):
So how is it that he can stand there in
the face of this overwhelming evidence and be taken seriously.
I'm not asking now about Barack Obama's an intellectual. I'm
asking about the people listening to him.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
That's the question of the hour. You have people who
don't stop and think you had.
Speaker 19 (32:26):
Dumbed down education, you had propagandistic education, and people he's
what he's saying, connects with all those with all those
kinds of things, all right.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
In fact, it goes the other way too.
Speaker 19 (32:36):
I was just doing some resrach On in Detroit and
his decline, and they kept raising the city income tax,
and every time they raised the tax rate, the tax
revenuees went down. In two thousand and eight, Charles Gibson
put this to Obama when he was a candidate.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
He said, why are you for.
Speaker 19 (32:53):
Raising the tax rate on the bridge because you often
get more revenue and lower tax rates than at the
higher tax rates. And he said, well, it's a question
of social dost others. He doesn't really care about whether
the governor raises more revenues. If he can get people
mad at the rich and they vote for him, then
the pop pop, then it's a success.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Els much for you, Thank you, and good night,
It's that time time time time lucking lower.

Are and where you're calling from, and then get into
your message. Robert and Saninton is, as often happens with
our voicemails, three sheets to the wind when he calls ramon,
did you know that is a nautical term? Did you
know three sheets to the wind is nautical term?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
The sheet? You want to know the history.
Speaker 8 (02:46):
The sheet is the line that controls the sales of
a ship.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I believe, I believe that's how they were.
Speaker 8 (02:52):
And if the line, if that line is not secured,
then the sail will flop in win as I understand it,
and the ship will lose.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Headway and then of course lose control.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
And if all three sails are loose.
Speaker 8 (03:11):
Obviously the ship is out of control and so.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, that he's three, She's to win.
Speaker 8 (03:19):
Robert from San Antone is grateful for Ramone's love of
Johnny Carson. And Ramone does love Johnny Carson. To be clear, yes.
Speaker 9 (03:29):
Are the bac might be a little bit higher, But
thank God for Mamone and his love for Johnny Carson.
Uh the clip Johnny Carson, Ronald Reagan, Milton Friedman, none
of them. Erico Ott of Style. It's forty years ago
and he was talking about the over the bloated gureaucracy.
(03:54):
I think he said it was one point four million
at that time. Hominey we got Now forty years ago,
it's still the same problem. Love you, Michael.
Speaker 8 (04:05):
Our next caller is Paul Bayer, who tells a story
about his chance meeting with Elvis.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I'm an Elvis nutt. Many of you are as well.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
And if you missed the show recently, we celebrated his birthday,
his ninetieth birthday in grand fashion. And by the way,
if you ever miss one of our shows, and you
are a loyal listener who listens to every one of
our shows, each and every show is loaded as a
(04:39):
podcast that you can download free wherever you get your podcasts,
So the iHeartRadio app, you can iTunes, Spotify, wherever you
listen to podcasts. You can listen to our show every
single show. You can go back and listen to shows
for quite some time anyway. So he met Elvis in
(05:00):
nineteen seventy two at the astral World Hotel, which was
a cool, funky hotel in Houston where we live.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
My name is Paul Bryer.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
Nineteen seventy two, I was in the Astroyal Hotel. I
was taking the leaks on the second floor. A security
guard got me, took me downstairs, told me I had
no business on that floor. And I was in the
basement and the doors open and Elvis Presley was standing
(05:32):
right there shook my hand. And it was in nineteen
seventy two at the concert at the Astro Yal Hotel.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I'm at the Astro Hotel.
Speaker 8 (05:42):
This next fella is tickled about something that we played
on the show. It always I don't think he gives
his name.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I always.
Speaker 8 (05:51):
I always enjoy when we can make people laugh, because
if we can laugh, we can get through all this craziness.
And that's sort.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Of the goal of all this, Michael Mary.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I just listened to her.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Even showed Papa trop Friday, and I just got a
laugh and laugh, laugh. And somebody just called in and
talked about it. The ideal that got run over, my
damn law more and everything. And I listened to I
thing a couple of times. If I called in the
last time y'all played it, I guess it was no years.
(06:24):
It was somebody anyway. I just call every right now,
and I hope whoever listens this recording, I get a
laugh out of it. Y'all doing a damn good job.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Almost shut up.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Let somebody else talk now.
Speaker 8 (06:40):
Paul Ryan was on CNBC squad Box when the host
Joe Kernin had him on the verge of tears. Remember,
Paul Ryan was the leader of Republicans in the House
of Representatives and just like a lot of these people,
when they didn't get their way when Trump came in,
when the party began, these people ran. And now they
(07:04):
sound like Democrats, they act like democrats, they praise Democrats,
and they hate Trump because they hate you.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
So now you're calling for unity.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I am calling for unity.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
That's nice.
Speaker 10 (07:15):
Yeah, that would have been nice before the election.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
He won.
Speaker 10 (07:18):
Look, the other thing I thought was funny that you
said was when you said, hey, look I want Trump
to succeed. You know who that sounds like. It sounds
like a Democrat. It's like a democrat.
Speaker 11 (07:28):
Well, a lot of Democrats sound like that. Well, of
course you want Trump to succeed.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You're a Republican.
Speaker 11 (07:32):
Look, I'm a conservative Republican. I a free market limited
But you know what I'm saying, that's who I hear.
But my brand of conservatism doesn't always overlap.
Speaker 10 (07:41):
I understand, but it was. It was binary. But you know,
we argued about that. I know we are buying on
a binary all along. It was always binary, and a
vote not for Trump was a vote for Kamala Harrison.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And here's the paget. I know you want to get
age at this.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Here's the point.
Speaker 11 (07:55):
A lot of this agenda my kind of conservatism Trump populism.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
It overlaps. Disagree on trade and things like that.
Speaker 11 (08:01):
I'm not with trade fights on China, but I'm not
a big fan of all the terriss and our allies.
But the point is all this other stuff, the tax policy,
the deader policy, the deregulatory policy, very.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Good for America.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
It's so good for them.
Speaker 11 (08:15):
Only gets done, and I think it's important.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
That Republican state unify. I don't care if somebody dis
stakes shoot. You can't shoot Michael. It's been booked.
Speaker 8 (08:27):
President Trump old Don Dan Bongino that the hostages may
have never been released if his team had not gotten involved.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
And you know what, I believe that to be true.
I do believe that to be true.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
This AUDIOI is courtesy of the Dan Bongino Show, where
Donald Trump made the statement.
Speaker 12 (08:48):
If we weren't involved in this deal, the deal would
have never happened. No deal would have happened, and the
hostages would never have probably seen life again, but they
certainly wouldn't have been released for a long time. Now,
we changed the course out of it, and we changed
it fast, and frankly, it better be done before I
(09:10):
take the oaths of office, and I assume it is now.
You know, we shook hands and we signed certain documents, but.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
It better be done.
Speaker 12 (09:18):
But no, and it was so ungracious that Biden to said,
oh he did it.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
He didn't do anything.
Speaker 12 (09:24):
If I didn't do this, if we didn't get involved,
the hostages would never be out.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
They would have never come out.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Very much like the Jimmy Carter situation with Rega.
Speaker 8 (09:34):
Joe Biden's Attorney General, Merrick Garland addressed his prosecutors, the
people who work for him, the low lives who worked
for him, and told them that he was proud of
the work they did.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
With January sixth.
Speaker 8 (09:51):
These people, they don't want to put bad guys in prison.
They want to put patriots in prison, and I want
them to pay for it. I want retribution. I'm not
a forgive and forget kind of guy. I'm a vindication guy.
I'm a vengeance guy. I'm a justice guy. That's that's
(10:13):
what I am. I'm a justice guy.
Speaker 13 (10:16):
You protected our country's democratic institutions from violence and threats
of violence.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
You charge more.
Speaker 13 (10:23):
Than fifteen hundred people for criminal conduct that occurred during
the January sixth attack on the Capitol, as well as
in the days and weeks leading up to that attack.
You brought to justice those who kicked, punched, beat and
tased law enforcement officers who were protecting the capital that day.
(10:43):
And you pursued accountability for that attack on our democracy
wherever it led, guided only by your commitment to following
the facts and the law, I am proud.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Of the work you have done.
Speaker 13 (11:00):
I am equally proud of the way you have done
that work.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Ceeing is.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
Jim Acosta says that journalists are not enemies of the people.
So Jim Acosta is the guy who accosts Trump constantly.
He stands at the back of the room and screams
out at Trump. He's absolutely obsessed with Trump. He's probably
secretly thrilled that Trump's coming back because now CNN will
maybe give him a little more airtime. He's a nut,
(11:28):
but anyway, he says, they are the protectors of the people.
You know what's funny about this. They hate the every man.
They hate the common man. They act like they're protecting
the common man from Trump.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
The common man loves Trump and hates this guy.
Speaker 14 (11:44):
I take a moment to talk about something President Biden
said during his farewell address. He warned the free press
is crumbling in this country. I would add that's only
if we, the people let that happen. Journalists exist to
seek the truth, to tell people's story, to lift up
voices that may not be heard otherwise, to shine a
light on injustice, and to hold the powerful accountable. We
(12:08):
are not the enemy of the people. We are the
defenders of the people. Walter Cronkite once said freedom of
the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy.
I want to take him on there to show you something.
A woman sent me this sign eight years ago. She
carried it here at a march in Washington. She wrote
on the back of the sign to me and the
(12:29):
press here in DC, you have our support to Nora
wherever you are. Right back at you, reporting from Washington,
I'm Jim Acosta.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
In the random news story category two win.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
A non binary.
Speaker 8 (12:50):
It's the term this person uses city councilor that means
you're confused.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
You don't know if you're a he or a she.
Maybe you're everything or maybe you're nothing. I don't know.
It's non binary. That's so silly.
Speaker 8 (13:03):
City councilor announced that she is taking a month long
leave because she feels unsafe after being.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Misgendered. City councilor.
Speaker 8 (13:19):
They call it a city councilor in Massachusetts, we call
it a councilman in Texas. The story is from ABC
five in Boston.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
That city councilor filing a complaint with Wooster's Office of
Diversity Equity, and inclusion, and they're taking a month long break.
They say it's for emotional and mental safety. Worster City
Councilor at Large to new end taking a month long
mental health break. Accusing the mayor and council of a
toxic culture. New En uses the pronouns they them and
(13:53):
says it's not safe to show up to meetings in person.
Speaker 15 (13:56):
I really really wish I fell safe enough to show
up on the council floor, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Last night, when talking about remote participation, Nwen accused the
mayor and another councilor, Kathleen Toomey, of using the wrong pronouns.
Newen also says Counselor Candy Marrow Carlson repeatedly called them it.
Speaker 11 (14:15):
I have face transphobia with being this gender and recently learned.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
That I have been.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Dehumanized to a point where I'm being referred to as
it by my colleagues on this council.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Counselor to me says, early on when the councilor was elected,
I did make an honest error in addressing the counselor,
and may have done so a few times, for which
I apologized. There has never been any intentional or consistent misgendering.
I have been mindful to address the counselor respectfully in
the manner in which they identify. Over the past three years, I.
Speaker 16 (14:47):
Have spoken with city staff who've confirmed that Councilor new
Yen was referred to as an it.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Buy a counselor, counselor Christian King troubled by what he's heard.
Speaker 16 (15:05):
I condemned to savow any sort of political host facility
based on someone's being.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Now councilor Merrow Carlson telling us. While I do not
recall making the statements in question, I acknowledged that it
was a challenging and emotional week where difficult conversations took place.
These claims, however, misrepresent my character, my record, and the
values I have consistently upheld. We did reach out to
the mayor and we also reached out to counsel Our
(15:35):
new In, but did not hear back from either. The
city Manager's office confirms and investigation is underway. We're live
in Wster Sharmanskady WCVB Newstterpun.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Add a little bit about these war houses. I know
all about.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Ramon wants to know what around the world is.
Speaker 11 (15:51):
Whistling bungholes, splen splitters, Whisker biscuits, Honkey riders, whoskerdoes Hohosker don'ts,
nips and dazers, whether without the scooter.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Stick or one single whistling kiddy Jason.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
Now, some people are just insecure, and so they tear
themselves down because that's how they feel about themselves.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
And then there are those rare people.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
Rodney Dangerfield perhaps comes to mind before anyone, maybe the
best of all time, who can make you like them
by making fun of them selves and you know they're
in on the act. Well, I gotta say Bob Buker
was great. Bob Uker is a is a cultural phenomenon.
(16:38):
He's a guy who became famous for being a longtime
professional baseball player who wasn't very good and pointed it out,
but pretended to think he was a really big deal.
You if as a man, I won't speak to the women.
If as a man, you have never in your life said, oh,
(17:03):
almost be done on the front row. If you've never
said that, and you're over the age of fifty, I
don't know where you grew up or who you are,
because I've said it a million times.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Bob Ucker passed away. I guess it was yesterday or
the day before. I can't recall. At the ripe old
age of ninety. He lived a long life and a
good life, and he enjoyed his life. He was the.
Speaker 8 (17:31):
Primary broadcaster for the Milwaukee Brewers for the last fifty
four years, and he loved baseball. Youke made his Major
League baseball debut as a catcher with the club back
in nineteen sixty two. Before the sixty four season, the
Braves traded Uker to the Cardinals out of Saint Louis.
(17:54):
He seldom played for the Cardinals, but he was a
member of the sixty four World Series champions with the Cards.
After the Sea five season, they traded Uker to the Phillies.
On June sixth, nineteen sixty seven, the Phillies traded Uker
back to the Braves, now based in Atlanta. His six
year major league career concluded in nineteen sixty seven. And
(18:15):
before you think that's not very long, that's a long
time to play in the pros.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Most guys don't get a chance.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
Almost nobody ever gets a chance to play one game,
much less six years. Bob Uker will be remembered for
his comedic wit. Here is Bob Yuker at his Hall
of Fame induction ceremony, telling a story about his dad
buying him a football.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I love this story.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
My dad wanted me to have everything that everybody else had.
I think the first thing that he ever bought me
was a football. And I was very young, and he
didn't know a lot about it. He came from the
old country, and uh, I mean we tried to pass
it and throw it and kick it, and we couldn't
do it. And it was very discouraging for him and
for me, and almost we almost quit. And finally we
(19:02):
had a nice enough neighbor came over and put some air.
Speaker 8 (19:05):
In it, and what a what a difference. He then
reminisced about being signed by the Braves for a whopping
three thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
I signed a very modest three thousand dollars bonus with
the Braves in Milwaukee, which I'm sure a lot of
you know, and my old man didn't have that kind
of money to put out, but the Braves took it.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I remember sitting.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
Around our kitchen table counting all this money coins out
of jars, and I'm telling my dad, let's forget this.
I don't want to play. He said, no, you are
going to play beast Board. We're going to have you
make some money and we're going to.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Live with it. Good. My dad had an accent.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
I want to be real authentic when I'm doing this thing,
So I signed.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
The signing took place at a very popular restaurant in Milwaukee.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
And I remember driving and my dad's all all fired
up and nervous, and I said, look, it'll be over
in a couple of minutes, don't be uptight. We pull
in the parking lot, pull next to the Braves automobile,
and my dad screws up right away. He doesn't have
the window rolled up far enough, and our tray falls
off and all the food is on the floor. And
(20:17):
from there on it was baseball. It's all in his delivery.
That's why he was a great broadcaster.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
Bob Youucker went on the Tonight Show again the Cultural Phenomenon,
and he taught Johnny Carson how to.
Speaker 15 (20:30):
Catch a knuckleball. This this is another really good one.
I'm not quite sure what this is. This is a
series of montage. If your picture what does this show?
First picture?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Where up right?
Speaker 7 (20:43):
Johnny? Remember when I talked about catching the knuckleball.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Right.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
Uh, the easiest way to catch it was to wait
until it stopped rolling and just pick it up.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I see there it is on the ground. You're looking
around for the ball there in the middle picture.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
Then the umpire finally picked it up and gave it
to me, and I made you make throw.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
You know.
Speaker 8 (21:14):
Interestingly, after all those years and baseball and broadcast and
everything else, Bob Buker will probably most be remembered and
certainly was best known outside of baseball for the Miller
Like commercials that Miller ran for years that were so
(21:35):
darn good. You remember this, you.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Know, one of the best things about being the next
big leaguers getting previous to the game called the front
office bingo. And once these fans recognized me, I probably
won't even have to be for my life here from Miller.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I love them, these fans.
Speaker 12 (21:50):
No, I'd drink like because it's less filling and it
tastes great.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Good seat, sir, wrong, say, buddy, almost be in the front.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Row my flight beer from Miller. Thing you always wanted
in the beer unless.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
Let's see, hey, buddy, he missed the tag.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
He missed the tag?
Speaker 2 (22:08):
How about this one.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
All right, Maybe I wasn't the greatest player of all time,
but fans may forgive and forget. When I go in here,
they'll be buying me my favorite beer light, beer familiar.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
You love you?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
How you doing about these fans?
Speaker 8 (22:22):
I love them.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
They know our sex.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
Big leaguers dreg light because it's less filling and it
tastes great.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
For well.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I can't keep the gang waiting.
Speaker 13 (22:31):
Joviller anything he always wanted in the beunless.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Wow, they're having a good time in there.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
And many folks will remember him outside of baseball in
a baseball movie that was very popular. You will remember
him as Harry Doyle in the movie Major League Again.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Everybody Harry Doyle.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
And you're welcoming all of you friends with the feather
to another season of Indians.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Based a lot of new faces in chief.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Wahoo's tribed this year as they take on the defending
American League champs, the New York Yankees, and hopefully we'll
have some of the names that go with those faces
before their first at back. Anyway, listen to the roar
of the crowd as the Indians take the field. Yes, sir,
(23:25):
they love this club here in Cleveland. Just a reminder
fans about Die Hard Night coming up here at the stadium.
Free admission to anyone who was actually alive the last
time the Indians won a.
Speaker 8 (23:36):
Penantve rest in peace. Bob Buker, you gave us a
lot of good memories. I just realized I'm looking through
my notes here as we close out the week. I
did not tell you earlier in the show. CNN was
found liable today for defamation of Navy veteran Zachary Young.
Jury found that Young was entitled to four million in
economic damages and one million in emotional DAMA images, as
(24:01):
well as punitive damages, and those haven't been determined yet.
Now remember, punitive damages are not related to your actual loss.
Punitive damages are damages as punishment, all right, after you
pay to make him whole, Now we're going to make
you pay an amount that will make you remember in
the future not to do this again. That's gonna be
(24:23):
the big one. That's gonna be a big number, and
I'm here for it. Congratulations CNN.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Michael Barry.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I would like to close the show to day with.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
Someone that I deeply admire talking about something that I
think is very important. The person I deeply admire is
Thomas Soule. He is an economist, He is a brilliant man,
and he, along with Clarence Thomas, should be held up
as great thinkers and writers and speakers in American society
(25:13):
who happened to be black. But instead they're called nasty
names because they shatter the myth that black people all
want welfare.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I love Thomas Sol, and so we closed for that reason.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
We closed the show with Thomas Sol explaining how Obama
fooled an entire.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Nation or intellectual in chief.
Speaker 17 (25:31):
Barack Obama got his BA from Columbia, his jd from Harvard.
He taught for a number of years at the University
of Chicago Law School. May I suppose that Thomas Sol
is duly impressed.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
You might say the road the hell is paid with
Ivy League degrees. All right.
Speaker 17 (25:52):
A few clips of the President of the United States
delivering his State of the Union address earlier this year.
Speaker 18 (25:58):
Clip number one, Education can't be a luxury. It is
an economic imperative that every family in.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
America should be able to afford higher education and imperative.
Speaker 17 (26:12):
All he's asking is that all young Americans should have
the same opportunity to get a really good education that
Tom Soul had.
Speaker 19 (26:19):
Tom I love the way the use of the word opportunity.
You know, I had as much opportunity to become an
NBA star as Michael Jordan had. It just happens that
there was some difference in skill. And so the same
thing with education. There is no point trying to run
people through institutions that they have very little interest.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
In and that they may not be suited for.
Speaker 19 (26:42):
In fact, I would argue that one of the problems
of American education is you have a lot of people
in college who have no interest in what a college
is supposed to be, nor is there any reason why
they should.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
And so the so you watered.
Speaker 19 (26:56):
Down the education of the people who they had to
get an education because of the people who are not
there for that purpose and who and who you're trying
to appease in some way.
Speaker 17 (27:06):
And is the impulse that we just saw of Barack
Obama and his supporters to in constantly more and more
people run them through college, run them into college. And
that's what that's to enhance the standing of intellectuals in society,
to teach more and more Americans, to defer to intellectuals
is that part of what's going.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
On is to win votes.
Speaker 17 (27:28):
Frankly, all right, straightforward is that President Obama once again.
Speaker 18 (27:33):
I will not seed the wind or solar or battery
industry to China or Germany because we refuse to make
the same commitment. Here we've subsidized oil companies for a century.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
That's long enough. This is pre Celendro courtse pre cylinder.
Speaker 10 (27:55):
You know.
Speaker 19 (27:55):
There's notion that picking out something and call it a
good thing, like education or affordable housing or whatever it
might be, everything is a.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Matter of trade off. Uh God, what did the band
say there?
Speaker 17 (28:09):
That if he will not seed wind or sol or
baddest battery, the battery industry to China or Germany because
we refuse to make the same commitment.
Speaker 19 (28:16):
It's amazing that here is a man talking about five
different industries, in none of which he has the slightest experience,
you know, But because he has these degrees from the
places you mentioned, he thinks, and people have told him
how clever he is, he now thinks that he can
can do this.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
So can you No human big on this planet could
do this.
Speaker 17 (28:35):
Can you explain, Tom the particular appeal to intellectuals of
the kind you describe here, of the green movement, of
the environmental movement.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Oh, it shows them again in the role of relish.
Speaker 19 (28:45):
They're they're the wise and noble forcing the rest, forcing
the rest of us poor dummies to do what's right,
you know, even though we don't want to.
Speaker 17 (28:54):
So it's what your old friend Carl Marx would have
described as the will to power. Yes, all right, you
don't want to cut them a little sleigh, that's I mean,
you're just saying it's ego and pride and vanity.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yes, all right.
Speaker 17 (29:09):
Once again, the president of the United States tax.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Reforms should follow the buffet rule.
Speaker 18 (29:14):
If you make more than a million dollars a year,
you should not pay less than thirty percent in taxes.
And my Republican friend Tom Coburn is right, Washington should
stop subsidizing millionaires. In fact, if you're earning a million
dollars a year, you shouldn't get special tax subsidies or deductions.
(29:34):
On the other hand, if you make under two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars a year, like ninety eight percent
of American families, your taxes shouldn't go up.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
I love it when people keep their own money. That's
called subsidizing them. I love it.
Speaker 19 (29:52):
That's their brillions of intellectuals that they can use words
in such a valuable way that they can. Obama has
an absolute out for saying things that make no sense
but not only sound plausible but inspiring. You know, we're
subsidizing the oil companies when they deduct the cost of
doing business in order to arrive at the figure out
(30:13):
how much net income they have.
Speaker 17 (30:15):
Everybody does that, right, So this notion though, that that
if you, if you're rich, you ought to pay more
straightforward enough. No, it is straightforward of us. It's also
straightforward nonsense.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Why is that? People don't.
Speaker 19 (30:35):
They often speak of people who are rich as people
who happen to have money. Right, extremely few people happened
to have money. There aren't that many Rockefellers. Well, but
Rockefeller didn't happen to have money, but his as happened
to have money.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
So you're doing rocket rocket Rockefeller.
Speaker 19 (30:52):
Rockefeller reduced the coil cost of oil to a fraction
of what it had been before him, benefiting millions of
people across the country. Therefore, they bought their oil from
Rockefeller rather than from people who had more expensive ways
of producing oil, for example, one of them being the
use of tank cars on the railroads. The progressives were
(31:12):
were livid that Rockefeller could ship his oil at a
cheaper price than the other producers. It never occurred to
them an Rockefeller shipped his oil in tank cars, which
are a hell of a lot cheaper to transport than
in barrels. I mean, we still measure oil in barrels today,
but we ship it in tankers, right, And that's how
he became a multi billionaire.
Speaker 17 (31:34):
So we know from the study of economic history that
wealthy people get wealthy by creating jobs, lowering prices, yes products,
Rather than Bill Gates, the richest man in America, one
of the richest men in the world, invented and invented
an entire industry that simply didn't All right, we know
all that. And we also know, as we mentioned earlier,
that cutting taxes worked to spur economic growth in the twenties,
(31:57):
again under John Kennedy and the six it was Johnson
who ended up most of the tax customer place, let's
call it under the sixties, and then again in Ronald Riggan.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
And George W. Bush and George W. Bush.
Speaker 17 (32:09):
So how is it that he can stand there in
the face of this overwhelming evidence and be taken seriously.
I'm not asking now about Barack Obama's an intellectual. I'm
asking about the people listening to him.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
That's the question of the hour. You have people who
don't stop and think you had.
Speaker 19 (32:26):
Dumbed down education, you had propagandistic education, and people he's
what he's saying, connects with all those with all those
kinds of things, all right.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
In fact, it goes the other way too.
Speaker 19 (32:36):
I was just doing some resrach On in Detroit and
his decline, and they kept raising the city income tax,
and every time they raised the tax rate, the tax
revenuees went down. In two thousand and eight, Charles Gibson
put this to Obama when he was a candidate.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
He said, why are you for.
Speaker 19 (32:53):
Raising the tax rate on the bridge because you often
get more revenue and lower tax rates than at the
higher tax rates. And he said, well, it's a question
of social dost others. He doesn't really care about whether
the governor raises more revenues. If he can get people
mad at the rich and they vote for him, then
the pop pop, then it's a success.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Els much for you, Thank you, and good night,
