Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, he told a judge, did he fear going home? Now?
Three people are dead? Pick the three people in your family.
Just have three come to mind? There they are, They're
in your head. You had three. Imagine I'm not here anymore?
How upset would you be? Right now? This illegal in
the Florida crast was nearly deported, then allowed to stay
(00:21):
after he claimed he was afraid to return to India.
He illegally came here in twenty eighteen, was fast tracked
at a port in twenty nineteen, told the courts afraid
to go home, so they let him stay. He snuck
across the border into California in twenty eighteen. First Trump
administration one to depart him, but in a court he
claimed fear of being sent back to India to a
(00:43):
US Citizenship and Immigration services. He was released on a
five thousand dollars immigration bond and has been in proceedings
ever since. And he's like, ah, they won't call me
till twenty thirty eight future court date if they ever
got around to it. But no, californ you will step
into that whole process and give you a commercials driver's
license while you're waiting it out. Oh by the way,
(01:06):
Try not to kill anybody. Thank You're welcome. California loves you.
Trump administration clarified that he was in good health, that
he was unmarried, he had no kids, he was not
a victim of violence or human trafficking. He's not caretaking
for any sick relatives. No religious or other reason why
he should fear persecution if he returned back home. You
(01:30):
had one of these leftist loonies, and our court system
allowed him to stay. Now Here we go. Now do
us truck driver's citizens do bat Yes, yeah, yeah, because
people out there they always say that. But this should
have never happened because he shouldn't have been here. I
(01:51):
say the odds increase when you cannot read English. If
I was driving a eighteen wheeler India, I might have
some trouble with the directions. I could probably go along
with some of the arrows pointing me in directions. It's
kind of universal, but I probably couldn't read slow work
(02:17):
crew ahead.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I saw a warning on Fryant that said, like I thought,
oh here comes some more construction up here. I'm going
to be delayed a little bit. And it was for
some about a metal gate or something in the ground.
I don't know a warning for that. It just went
dude barely. And I'm like, man, they got potholes worse
than that. They need to put warning signs up for.
But President Trump did sign this into action. Let's listen here.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
President Trump signed an executive order on Monday that requires
commercial truck drivers in the United States to be proficient
in English. This comes just weeks after a video of
a truck driver went viral after he was given a
literacy test.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, this truck driver in Arkansas. You heard him say,
right there, he saw people being put in handcoff us.
He was asked to give a test. Can he read this?
You had to say it out loud, and then can
you write this? He had to write it down.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
I was like, what's going on? He goes, Oh, we've
come across now that if you cannot read or write
in English, that is a five thousand dollars fine. And
if you have a company in Arkansas that employees people
that can't read or write in English, it's a ten
(03:27):
thousand dollars fine paid on the spot. If you cannot
pay it, you're automatically arrested and lose your license.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
And I would Hope then deported, why are you doing this?
Ren We talked about this a few months ago. I
think it was yeah, Department of Homeland Security blaming Newsom
in the sanctuary policies because he was given his driver's
license here in California made that U turn killed three
Americans in Florida. He was here illegally from India. How
(03:59):
many more innocent people have to die before people like
Governor Satan stopped playing games with the safety of we
the people in this country and in this state in
driving ninety nine and I five and one on one
or wherever we're going across this state. The semi truck
(04:20):
driver in Florida failed an English language proficiency test failed
to identify highway traffic signs. Press release from the Department
of Transportation revealed that officials with the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration launched an investigation. During the interview with the driver,
this mister Seeing individual, they gave him an English language
(04:42):
proficiency assessment. He failed. The assessment only provided correct responses
to two of the twelve verbal questions. He only accurately
identified one of four highway traffic signs. Transportation Secretary Sean
(05:05):
Duffy said, if states had followed the rules, this driver
would never been behind the wheel, and these precious lives
would still be with us. Surge to the border and
get behind the wheel. There's Governor DeSantis, it happened in
his state.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
You shouldn't be giving illegals driver's license. We don't allow
that in Florida. California does. They've issued probably over a
million licenses to illegals in recent years. But to have
somebody like that on our roadways putting people in jeopardy, yes,
criminally prosecute him the illegal one hundred percent, But I
think it's got to go beyond that, and I think
(05:42):
we got to get tougher on this nationally. Ultimately, I
think you're going to need the Congress to use the
power of the person defund states like California that are
sanctuary states, and they're similar cities.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Should have already happened. Need to defund this guy. Listen,
this Democrat congressman, I'm breaking and that's not a crime.
What this scene guy did, that's not a crime. Yeah,
I guess making an illegal U turn that's a traffic violation.
But you know they're not criminals.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Different from going up to people without telling them what
they've done in masks and putting them into tention facilities.
And I think the people that are being approached did
not commit any crimes, did not you know, we weren't
even suspective any crimes.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
No, it's not illegal to break into a country. Two
illegals from Guatemala, Guatemala currently living in the US were
charged with let's see rape aggrevated SOD to mean kidnapping
of an Oklahoma woman from a casino earlier this week,
took her away, kidnapped her from Oklahoma to Arkansas City, Kansas.
Luis Barrio so i lego from Guatemala across the border
(06:44):
legally in twenty thirteen. Do you think this was the
first time he was a bad guy since twenty thirteen? Yeah,
he was released by the Obama administration to live in America.
Let's see. No, he wasn't knowing he's a good guy.
He'd have been arrested before for disorderly conduct, hitting a
(07:05):
woman around, domestic violence, threatening a law enforcement officer, and
that's what he got caught for. So imagine what else
he's gotten away with. Let's go see his buddy Jose
Morales illegal from Guatemala across illegally as an unaccompanied miner.
It's just those kids. In twenty eighteen, he is little Jose,
cute little guy. He's gonna help add to America in
(07:28):
he kidnap, right to pray people. Violent people no place
in this country. I remember a guy coming down an
escalator once making that statement, they're not sending their best.
President Trump talking about the borders success and rightfully so,
(07:48):
I will say, bravo.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
All you can do is make sure you get a
good president, not one of these wacos like in California,
but runs the worst state anybody seen her. That guy
in Illinois who his family threw him out of the
business because he was no good. Now he's running Illinois.
He wants to run for He's got zero chance. Maybe
maybe Newscombe has a little bit of a chance. I
(08:10):
don't know. It's hard to believe because his record's bad.
But what all you can do is hope you don't
get that as president. We have a great bench. As
you know that, we have great talent, and j D
and Marco and Scott Scott, Scott Besson's been great and
Howard They're all. I mean, we have such supersize. Remember this.
Take a look at take a look at the border.
(08:33):
The border was a disaster. Millions of people who are
pouring through open border. Within two months it was perfect
and within Now every week there, every every month they
say zero people, zero people are coming in illegally. We
were taking people from prisons all over the world, gang members,
insane asylum mental patients from the worst insane asylums in
(08:56):
the world dropped in to our place. So now we
have a very secure border, beautiful border. I built hundreds
of miles of.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Wood, Yes he did. I have the July twenty twenty
five US custom Border Protection stats here, and I would
say history being made. Numbers don't lie, well, unless hearing government.
You can lie about jobs and whatnot. But yeah, most
numbers don't like. Illegal crossings in July dropped to the
(09:26):
lowest level ever recorded. Look get that good job. Way
to go, voters. Twenty four thousand, six hundred and twenty
eight total encounters nationwide, sixty one hundred border patrol apprehensions,
forty six hundred Southwest border apprehensions one hundred and sixteen
on July twentieth. That's the lowest single day total in
(09:48):
the agency's history. How many have been released?
Speaker 7 (09:53):
Zero?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
How many released last year July twenty twenty four under
Kamala and Joe twelve thousand, three hundred and sixty five
in one day zero in July, nine hundred sixty eight
pounds a fetnel. I bet that's enough to kill the
(10:18):
world over. You know how they say they find enough
to kill like millions of people. Yeah, that nine hundred
and sixty eight pounds of that. Sure, heroin seizures have
gone up eighty six percent. There's some good happening. Look
at that a year ago, three hundred and sixty five.
What if three hundred and sixty five of those twelve thousand,
(10:40):
three hundred and sixty five were Iranian terror cell sleep
or sell people. What if just sixty five of them
were What if just five of them wore You know
what I was thinking when all the world leaders were
there at the White House, sitting in the Oval Office
with President Trump this week earlier in the week, Who
I mean, could can you wheel up in a car
(11:02):
two football fields in the White House and get a
rocket propel grenade like Afghanistan on your shoulder, one of
those long things, and just I just think, like that
just seems so dangerous to me to have them all
right there in the same room. I was talking to
my mom and dad about My dad said he thinks
that way when he sees Trump and Dvance together, like
it's the boy you get hit there. I mean, that
(11:23):
just seems I don't know, risky in today's world. I'm
saying I had that thought right there. But let's see. Oh,
the border wall. I want to go back for a minute.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Why was this not thought of before?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
President Trump has ordered the entire southern border wall to
be painted black hot, hot to the touch.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
You know that.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I have a dark car with black leather inside it.
I know about hot with black. Big difference, big difference.
But it just looks cool. So that's fine. I'll deal
with the hot there. But yeah, you think about that
that border wall, that that would that that desert sun.
(12:10):
And he said that dark paint will extend the steels
lifespan by slowing rust and also discouraging anybody from touching it. Hey,
they got money to do that up with here forty
seven billion they got for continued wall construction and maintenance.
That's a that's a new stream of money. Mere When
Nancy would even give them a billion when she said
(12:30):
I might even get that a dollar, not even a dollar.
I wonder if they totalled up how much it costs
with the Joe and Kamala administration to have all that
sit there idle. I remember it was like six million
a day or something. I wonder what that that that
that cost ran up to be over those beautiful four years.
(12:50):
We remember what it was like.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
We have.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
A secure border. Yeah, we remember what it was like
while twelve thousand people were surging in than a day.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
What I would do as president, I would, in fact
make sure that we immediately surge to the border. All
those people are seeking asylum.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
They deserve to be heard.
Speaker 9 (13:09):
That's who we are where a nation says, if you
want to flee and you're faining oppression, you should come.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
This is the Trevor Terry Show. On the Valley's Power.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Talk, Paul Leffler I said, man, why don't you just
come on next. Let's just do it here because he
has the Coaches Show tomorrow. And he said, all right,
so I look a good idea. So I'm already ready
getting the football move. We'll have the voice of President
State Athletics. Paul Leffler. He'll be coming in at the
bottom of the hours. The Dogs take on the Jayhawks Saturday,
(13:40):
first game of the year, and I think this is
one of the earliest college games of the whole NCAA
season here, so there'll be a lot of hungry people
eyeball in this one more than usual due to the
fact that it's only going to be one of the few.
We'll talk to mister Leffler about that coming up next
here on the show. Can't believe that it's already that time.
(14:04):
Time I can't figure out. I guess I should just
stop trying to figure out time, right. You know, you
spend a few decades on the planet, you try and
figure it out. And I've talked to people that, you know,
twenty years ago, I was interested in time even and
I would talk to people in their seventies and eighties
even then, and they said it just speeds up. So
(14:26):
I was kind of prepared for life to speed up,
and yes, it has. I go back to that old
country song. Days go by slow, but years go by fast.
And that's a good statement right there. Country music has
some of the best statements. That's why we do country
music Monday around these parts trying to act all cheerful
(14:49):
before I got to go into a horrible story here.
Homicide investigation underway. Guy was killed during a fight yesterday
afternoon four o'clock Orchard Grant near Belmont. Police roll up
twelve people in a in a squabble. Scruff guy who's
found in the stab wound. Thirty year old man fell
to the ground. They you stab in the upper part
(15:12):
of the body and deceased. How quickly things like that happen?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Man?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Even the rough of the rough that are out there,
what gangbanging or you know periphcty hanging around people that
are doing it. They never think it's even in that world.
They never wake up thinking that that's going to happen
to them. Just why can't we Why can't we all
get along? Wouldn't it be a beautiful world? Why can't
(15:41):
we just walk on Christmas Tree Lane and everybody behave themselves.
Christmas Tree Lane has suspended the walk nights for twenty
twenty five since a Valley dot com said suspended this year.
It's going to open, but you can drive down it.
One hundred and third year And what's that it's our
early December. That's what I get Christmas. The Big Garden
(16:05):
Homeowners Association has suspended the walk nights. I would think
that would be people getting on people's grass and lawn
and all of that. They said part of it, though,
was the street vendor situation that was going on. And
as I stated back when this issue first arose, if
(16:26):
they'd listen to King carry here had all been settled.
You get a area, a parking lot down from from
Christmas Tree Lane, somewhere where you set up some vendors.
It's a place where you go buy for the food trucks.
It gets you a little snack. Now you don't want
people they'll be throwing wrappers down and all of that.
(16:48):
So it's the street vendors. Why can't you have Christmas
Tree Lane and not have any vendors? Why didn't the
city just say no, you can't be out here. That's
it done. So that leads me to believe it has
something to do with people messing with people's houses or something,
because you could easily snap and go you can't have
a street vendor fights breaking out all that. Oh there
(17:10):
were fights last year. Well then there you go. There
you go, kids, We just can't have anything nice it's
people not behaving themselves. They said the street vendors had
taken position on residence private property, block driveways and side roads,
and had been aggressive to residents who asked them to leave.
(17:35):
All right, I'm just gonna say people out hawking stuff
on a Christmas night like that, that's third worldish. It
has its place, and it has its time, but that's
neither the time nor the place. And being aggressive to
residents that ask them to leave, no, and getting rid
(17:56):
of tradition. Look at that. See, that's how culture changes. Yes, yes,
I'll say that. Yes, it's obvious, it's happening. That's sad
that people can't walk anymore up and down, but hey,
it's it's their property. It's private property. And I pulled
the people for one hundred and three years that have
given that gift back. And I know ninety five percent
(18:18):
of the people behave people from everywhere around the world
that walk up and down that street behave themselves. Isn't
it always the knuckleheads?
Speaker 7 (18:26):
This is the Trevor Chary Show on the Valley's Powered Talk.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
But I got to be honest. I figured out I
sent you Wednesday at four thirty and I sent to
Agent Squire's Thursday at four thirty. So it's me and
I called it, Joe bidiis.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
I'm just glad I'm not the only one who doesn't
know what day it is.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Well, speaking of days, can you believe how quickly this
this time period has arrived here?
Speaker 8 (18:51):
Here? It comes ready or not? You know, I kind
of can't believe it. It's it's been a shorter summer
because the Bulldogs play an earlier game than usual. Right,
most of the name won't play till next weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
A lot of eyes on it, then a.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
Lot at National TV Fox. Tim Brando's calling the game,
Big opportunity, first game in Kansas's newly renovated stadium. It's
sold out, first game for the new head coach, first
game for the new quarterback, whose dad is in the
Hall of Fame, and who's going to be there. Yeah,
there's a lot going on. And I get to hang
out with Pat Hill and Cam Worel and I haven't
(19:22):
gotten to do that in a long time, at least
not in a broadcast booth. So I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
It's kind of like you know, cowboy Rangers out there
waiting out the season. They finally get to saddle up
and get the leather chaps on and get out on
the range again. Is it kind of that feeling it
has to be the players have it, You gotta have it.
Speaker 8 (19:40):
Yeah, yeah, no, you do, and you just want to
make sure you're not forgetting some right now. And you know,
there's just a We've got a lot of moving pieces,
a lot of new people, so anything that you were
used to doing before is going to be different.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I was going to say, learning new players and names
and their numbers. Do you sit there and kind of
quiz yourself at night putting names and numbers together? How
much prep do you we got to do for a
season like that? Quite a bit.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
I was working on some of that earlier today. But
you know that I'm also working on on hometown heroes.
And we got two honor flights coming up, and we
got this and this. It's kind of I've been jugging
a little bit, but Trevor, I'm just I'm pumped because
we live in a special place, filled with special people,
and every day there's reminders of that. If we're looking.
We had to kickoff the end of the other night,
(20:22):
and you know, raised a ton of money to support
the football program first coaches shows tomorrow night out at
the point five point thirty. If people want to come
meet the coach. We'll have players there throughout the year,
but just every day, I think if we're if our
eyes are open, there's a reminder that this is a
pretty special place. And I will say that it feels
(20:43):
a lot more special and a lot more fun when
the Bulldogs are winning and everybody's excited.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
You know, I've had a couple occasions to hear coach
ents talked to just a group of people out there
and I know, uh, Presol State and all the Bulldogs
fan and you personally went through kind of a sadness
period with the coaching change and all of that happening.
And he's shown up on the scene and he's a
he's a people person. If he's that way with just
(21:10):
you know, people on the crowd, like myself, I could
see myself liking to be a player for a guy
that talks like the way he.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
Talks well and the proofs in the pudding his players
love him, right. I mean, there are some players that
were in the transfer portal that had offers from our
schools where they were going to get paid to leave
and talking to him convinced them to stay. I mean,
that says something about him right there. I had a
chance on Monday to hang out with the Fresno the
Rotary Club of Fresno, the Downtown Rotary, great crowd, and
(21:39):
got to do a little Q and A with him,
And it was neat to see him interact with that
group and see the impression he made, because you know,
that's one of those groups. Most of the people in
that room have been here for decades. They've seen a
lot of people come and go, and they know who's
for real and who isn't. And I was, you know,
I was asking questions but also kind of observing, and
(22:00):
I thought he struck a really genuine tone that resonated
in that room, and I know he's doing that everywhere
he goes.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
I like when he talked about because North Dakota he's
got that Midwestern an him and he said when they
were at USC for that year down in La kind
of a shock and how he's equated the valley more
of a Midwestern feel like that, and he said he's
used it in is out there promoting with players and recruiting,
that it's a different kind of place it is, and
(22:26):
if you know, say, think California. He said, like, oh,
it's crazy.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
You know, it's different, and it's all relative, right, I mean,
our perspective is everything. And if you're from La or
San Francisco, you have a different view of what California
is than we do here in the valley. If you're
from the Midwest and you've never been out here and
you come here and all you've heard is beaches and
earthquakes and you know the valley girl accent and what
(22:50):
some of the stereotypes are about Californians. I ran into
that when I went to college on the East coast, right,
everybody said, how do you live there? With all those earthquakes.
I'm like, well, you know where I live, They're really
not that bad.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
I was explaining earlier about the California dream, and you
don't understand it if you've grown up here, like in
Tennessee in nineteen seventy nine, I might as say we're
moving to California. Wow, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
And so in other parts of the country that's a
really big deal. And then when they come here and
they see what the people are like, and they see
how diverse our community is, you don't have that kind
of diversity in a lot of places in the Midwest, right,
I mean, I guarantee you just let's just take food
you like to eat. I like to eat. Most places
in the Midwest you might have three of the food
(23:35):
categories that we have here in Fresno, But how many
do we have here? Right? I mean, you're not going
to get Mexican food there like you get here, certainly
not going to get them at Mexican.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Mexican food in the Midwest is like putting hot sauce
on a pork chop. That kind of makes the Mexican life. Hey,
I ordered a burrito in New York City and a
Chinese man delivered it in a ball a ball burrito
ball burrito ball a burrito. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
Yeah, well, And so I mean there's it's a surprising place,
and I think sometimes we forget how special our area
is because we're here. We get desensitized to it, and
there is that tension between other parts of the state.
But it's been fun to see this coaching staff. So
many of them, the new guys, are not from this area.
(24:20):
They're from other parts of the country. A lot of
them from the Midwest, and they're fired up. You know,
they love it. They see the opportunity, they see the value,
they appreciate the community, and they are really motivated to
win for the valley. So we'll see. I mean, they're
big underdog Saturday, but it won't be surprised me at
all if this is a game in the fourth quarter
and they have a chance to pull it out.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Whonn't it Perdue first game of the year? Yeah, two
years ago.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
Yeah, that's a big win.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Right, It's all blurring, but I I remember it being
the first game of the years. Well, my guess is
Paul Lefler, voice of President State Athletics taking on the
Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday. I know it's not, is it?
We're what's your tall Kansas?
Speaker 8 (25:01):
Lawrence?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Lawrence Kansas or as they say there, Lawrence. It's one syllable, Lawrence, Lawrence.
We're talking about food, California being known, of course for
Mexican food, Kansas at Kansas City Barbecue. Out of that,
I can't think of anything that maybe you and the
coach and cam are looking for.
Speaker 8 (25:18):
Have you been to Have you been? I've never been
to Lawrence. I have been to Kansas City. I've been
to the World War One Museum in Kansas City, which
if anybody ever goes there, you've got to visit. It's conte,
it's heavy, it's powerful.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
That you're getting back into the on the road eating
that you I always ask you, like, what do you
have in Albuquerque? You know? Yeah, places like that. Is
there anything on your calendar that.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
You got I've received some recommendations from folks. I so,
you know, one of the baseball coaches at Fresno State,
Richie Price, was a great player for the University of Kansas.
He told me about a barbecue spot there. But we'll
see with Cam and coach in our travel schedule. Would
love to fit in a hike on Saturday morning like
we usually do, but now the new coach has moved
(25:59):
chapel to Saturday morning. That was always the night before.
So I'm still trying to figure out my own schedule
here trying.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I didn't know they did. That's that's good to hear. Oh,
it's great, great sports team, chaplains.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
Yeah, but yeah, and it's you know, it's voluntary, it's
not a mandatory thing.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
But how tended is it?
Speaker 8 (26:17):
You know, Historically I'd say maybe thirty percent of the
roster right and sounds like so far this year in
training camp, it's a lot higher percentage with their Chaplain's
a guy named cam Lamb Newsy who played for the Bulldogs.
Gave up his last year of eligibility to move into
that role, and I'd love to interview him sometimes. If
you can put us in touch, I'll send him over.
You'd love to talk to him. He's got a real
compelling personal story. But maybe more relevantly to our discussion,
(26:41):
he's got an incredible rapport with the team. They really
trust him, respect him, and his voice resonates with these
young people.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah, well, that's good to hear. Gonna be young people
in and out with name, image and likeness. I'm glad
to hear with the portal that a lot of them
decided to stay because of the coaching style of coach
Intz Here out there at the stadium. Thanks everybody that
allowed us to come out there and walk on the field.
That new turf. I don't know if I've ever been
(27:13):
on astro turf or as they call it, you know,
artificial grass, but it did feel different. Obviously, it felt different.
I know you probably know a lot more about it
out there, but that had to not be cheap to
put that whole field down, I would assume no.
Speaker 8 (27:30):
And part of that was a real generous donation from
the Astro Turf company itself. In fact, you'll see their
name on the turf. Now. I think some of that
turf had to be massaged a little bit after Shakira
got done with her big show there.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
But hey, you are did they cover it? Did they
cover it? Did they cover They did cover it all?
But yeah, that's pretty big production.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
And you know, I know there were a few little
hiccups with that that Fresno State has owned, but.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
They realized they weren't Bill Graham presents yet.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
But I just wanted though, you know, I want to
congratulate Garrett Klassley, the athletic director, because that was a gamble, right,
It was a It was a bold move to say
we're going to do this, and we're going to do
it in early August, so shorter notice than those concerts ever,
have less time to figure it out, and way hotter
weather than you would usually plan on. And you know,
(28:21):
everyone that I talked to that went had a great
time and it was big success and generated a lot
for a local economy.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Out of all the problems any kind of production can have.
For a concert of that level there, I would say
that's way down the list that they would want to have,
like the sound didn't work, or the artists didn't show
up on time, you know what I mean, to have
long lines? All right, Well that's kind of expected at times.
But I've heard the talk of a course. Everybody would
love a you know, renovation, but i've heard a talk
(28:48):
of a new stadium actually and it being a valley draw.
And I think that concert just showed. I think it
brought extra what two million into the city from out
of towners.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Yeah, uh, And I I think you're right. I think
you put a new stadium in this community, and you
can times that by fifty, right, and the proofs in
the pudding. Now, San Diego has a different climate. We
all understand that bigger population base. But since the Aztecs
have gotten their new stadium, they've used that for a
professional soccer, for concerts, for all kinds of things. You
(29:21):
imagine something like that state of the art here in
the valley, which would probably be really you know, either
slightly more expensive, maybe even less expensive, or just tantamount
to redoing Valley Children's Stadium. It could be a game
changer and it could yield dividends for decades to come.
So whatever that model's going to be, to fund it,
(29:43):
wherever you're going to have to find to put it,
and what kind of you know, contingencies or trade offs
that'll require, I think investigating that plan is absolutely worth it.
And again tip my cap to Garrett class C, the
athletic director, because he hasn't shied away from that conversation.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Well, uh, you're way better talking in meetings and in
front of people than I am, so I want to
channel this through you. Here's my idea, Valley Children's Fresno Colisseum.
It's the colisseum they built that the Romans did in
eight years, so we need to do it in four.
And they have these big tart things that they would
when it would be hot, cloth like tarps they would
(30:21):
roll out over to almost make it look like where
the Cowboys used to play with a circle in the
middle Texas Stadium. So we half dom it with cloth
or whatever they roll out and roll back when we
don't need it. So here's my idea. Well, a couple things.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
I mean, first, you said coliseum, and I'm thinking lions
versus Christians. We've got a lot of Christians in our community,
but only a couple of lions at the zoo, So
maybe the odds will be better.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Already not succeeding in my meeting, I had a guy,
a Christian man, stand up in the back and bring
this up.
Speaker 8 (30:52):
All right, then, But then you said half dome, and
of course I thought of Yosemite.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
What if you made Valley Children's resne Valley Children's half Dome?
Speaker 8 (31:02):
Could you have a replica half dome on one side
of the stadium that the retractable roof comes out of.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I don't think you need a retract We're giving out
too many ideas we need. We need to get a
consultancy fee for this. So let's stop giving out these
great ideas. I will.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
You ought to hear what I think is a great idea.
I'm not saying yours. Isn't you mentioned? You know I've
mentioned half dome. I think it would be awesome to
see a college basketball game in Yosemite. They are all
these college basketball teams around the country. In the offseason,
they'll take their their players to Italy or Canada or
wherever for an educational experience, and really it's to build
(31:40):
camaraderie and get the team going. We've got Yosemite right there,
there's a you know, there's a hockey rink there in
the winter in Curry Village. You put a basketball court
on that footprint. You make that a national TV event
and you have a couple of college teams, maybe it's
a girls women's men's double header, and those teams get
to spend a week in the national parks learning about that,
(32:01):
and then they play a made for TV basketball game.
I think that would be a hit.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Well, they play hockey at Fenway Park in the middle
of the winter.
Speaker 8 (32:09):
That's exactly what I think it would be like. It
would be like the Stadium series. It would be a
visual you know, spectam inside outside in the summer. Okay,
you can't do it during basketball season.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
It's you could have Olympic pre pre stuff for the
Olympic team to come up and do a little exhibition
as well before they head off to wherever.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
Yeah, and then you know, you can bring the Harlem
Globetrotters and the cast of Gilligan's Island. We can get
a moll And Ball is.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Danny Bonaducci still around. You get him to fight somebody
up there or something.
Speaker 8 (32:41):
Yeah. See, don't get me started on crazy ideas.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Trevor Leffler and Carrie, what are we going to call
our company here? We got we got the idea, so
we okay to sum it all up, it's the half
domee stadium, that's what we're calling it, because with the
circle in the middle, with the close that come out,
and then we're gonna take the idea up to usemody
as well. So it's a two pronged plan.
Speaker 8 (33:04):
And on the other side you could have bridal veil
falls running red for the Red Way.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
You're good. I'm glad I went into business with you. Man.
Speaker 8 (33:13):
Our slogan is better than AI, better than AI.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Well, you got the coach A show tomorrow night at
five point thirty at the point I expect you to
probably start it out with telling coach Ns the idea.
Speaker 8 (33:24):
I think I really should. I think that should be
his top priority this week.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
I'll get the podcast over to him beforehand so that
he will be well versed on it, so you don't
have to go through the whole explanation. Good, Paul, I'm glad.
We're back in action here. Man. This is gonna be
good stuff. And I hope you get some good food there,
and Lawrence I'll report.
Speaker 8 (33:42):
Back to And thanks for bringing some light to my
Wednesday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
You did good, all right. The pre pregame at one
thirty with CK and the crew, the pregame with Paul
Leffler and Coach Hill and Cam RL and then the
kickoff at three point thirty.
Speaker 8 (33:55):
And you know CEK on that pregame and postgame they're
gonna be hanging out up at Table Mountain, knowing the
official watch party there with the blue Oak grill. So
if you're not going to the game and you don't
have a place to watch it, go hang out with
c K.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Who knows that you're from now that you can say,
hanging out with CK up at half Doma Yosemite at
the This Zipline.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
And Trevor Cherry show on the Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Thanks to Paul Lefler, voice of friendso Sate Athletics. I'm
glad he came in today. Indeed, great ideas there were
Leffler and Kerry consulting. We'll see how how far as
those go. First game of the year, of course you
can hear it right here on Power Talk and iHeartRadio
app and Fox Sports thirteen forty and up and down
(34:39):
the valley. We'll start our pre pregame with c K
one thirty and then Leffler, Coach Hill and cam Orel
with your pre game two thirty to three thirty with
the kickoff, and Paul's talking about how it's going to
be nationally broadcast on Fox as well TV on mute.
Listening to it on radio, do that sometimes when I coloring,
(35:00):
I do. I really like to hear Paul and Coach
and Cam way more than any national person because the
knowledge of the team and the game and past stuff
that's going on. I love all the here in the
history with it and their camaraderie. I tell you, Paul
Leffler is and I rank people with interviews. Some of
(35:21):
them are like, so is that you grew up in Pittsburgh?
Speaker 8 (35:25):
Did you?
Speaker 7 (35:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Okay, that's in Pennsylvania. So yeah. Paul's like sitting down
eating a Grand Slam at Denny's just having a conversation
as well. And I understand getting in front of a
microphone it's difficult for some people, and they're nervous, and
I get that, but Paul's just such a joy to
talk to him. We're very fortunate to have him here.
(35:48):
The old area President's not here anymore. He called him
the the Bob Costas of the Valley. He really is
his style like that, such knowledge of the game. And
I put Leffler above Bob Costas because Costa's kind of
my nerve. And he tell me back in the day,
turning your lights off at halftime for green energy. I
don't like you anymore ever since then he told me
(36:10):
what to do in my living room. Come on, Bob,
But I still go hug a tree, Bob. But I
still love what he does those ESPN shows about baseball.
He's still the best to go back and talk about it.
When he brings in the you know, the eighty six
Mets and Red Sox to sit on the barstools and
have a conversation. There's nobody better, I think than Bob Costa.
Speaker 7 (36:32):
The assistant Trevor Jerry Show Mondo Valley's Power Talk
Well, he told a judge, did he fear going home? Now?
Three people are dead? Pick the three people in your family.
Just have three come to mind? There they are, They're
in your head. You had three. Imagine I'm not here anymore?
How upset would you be? Right now? This illegal in
the Florida crast was nearly deported, then allowed to stay
(00:21):
after he claimed he was afraid to return to India.
He illegally came here in twenty eighteen, was fast tracked
at a port in twenty nineteen, told the courts afraid
to go home, so they let him stay. He snuck
across the border into California in twenty eighteen. First Trump
administration one to depart him, but in a court he
claimed fear of being sent back to India to a
(00:43):
US Citizenship and Immigration services. He was released on a
five thousand dollars immigration bond and has been in proceedings
ever since. And he's like, ah, they won't call me
till twenty thirty eight future court date if they ever
got around to it. But no, californ you will step
into that whole process and give you a commercials driver's
license while you're waiting it out. Oh by the way,
(01:06):
Try not to kill anybody. Thank You're welcome. California loves you.
Trump administration clarified that he was in good health, that
he was unmarried, he had no kids, he was not
a victim of violence or human trafficking. He's not caretaking
for any sick relatives. No religious or other reason why
he should fear persecution if he returned back home. You
(01:30):
had one of these leftist loonies, and our court system
allowed him to stay. Now Here we go. Now do
us truck driver's citizens do bat Yes, yeah, yeah, because
people out there they always say that. But this should
have never happened because he shouldn't have been here. I
(01:51):
say the odds increase when you cannot read English. If
I was driving a eighteen wheeler India, I might have
some trouble with the directions. I could probably go along
with some of the arrows pointing me in directions. It's
kind of universal, but I probably couldn't read slow work
(02:17):
crew ahead.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I saw a warning on Fryant that said, like I thought,
oh here comes some more construction up here. I'm going
to be delayed a little bit. And it was for
some about a metal gate or something in the ground.
I don't know a warning for that. It just went
dude barely. And I'm like, man, they got potholes worse
than that. They need to put warning signs up for.
But President Trump did sign this into action. Let's listen here.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
President Trump signed an executive order on Monday that requires
commercial truck drivers in the United States to be proficient
in English. This comes just weeks after a video of
a truck driver went viral after he was given a
literacy test.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, this truck driver in Arkansas. You heard him say,
right there, he saw people being put in handcoff us.
He was asked to give a test. Can he read this?
You had to say it out loud, and then can
you write this? He had to write it down.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
I was like, what's going on? He goes, Oh, we've
come across now that if you cannot read or write
in English, that is a five thousand dollars fine. And
if you have a company in Arkansas that employees people
that can't read or write in English, it's a ten
(03:27):
thousand dollars fine paid on the spot. If you cannot
pay it, you're automatically arrested and lose your license.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
And I would Hope then deported, why are you doing this?
Ren We talked about this a few months ago. I
think it was yeah, Department of Homeland Security blaming Newsom
in the sanctuary policies because he was given his driver's
license here in California made that U turn killed three
Americans in Florida. He was here illegally from India. How
(03:59):
many more innocent people have to die before people like
Governor Satan stopped playing games with the safety of we
the people in this country and in this state in
driving ninety nine and I five and one on one
or wherever we're going across this state. The semi truck
(04:20):
driver in Florida failed an English language proficiency test failed
to identify highway traffic signs. Press release from the Department
of Transportation revealed that officials with the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration launched an investigation. During the interview with the driver,
this mister Seeing individual, they gave him an English language
(04:42):
proficiency assessment. He failed. The assessment only provided correct responses
to two of the twelve verbal questions. He only accurately
identified one of four highway traffic signs. Transportation Secretary Sean
(05:05):
Duffy said, if states had followed the rules, this driver
would never been behind the wheel, and these precious lives
would still be with us. Surge to the border and
get behind the wheel. There's Governor DeSantis, it happened in
his state.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
You shouldn't be giving illegals driver's license. We don't allow
that in Florida. California does. They've issued probably over a
million licenses to illegals in recent years. But to have
somebody like that on our roadways putting people in jeopardy, yes,
criminally prosecute him the illegal one hundred percent, But I
think it's got to go beyond that, and I think
(05:42):
we got to get tougher on this nationally. Ultimately, I
think you're going to need the Congress to use the
power of the person defund states like California that are
sanctuary states, and they're similar cities.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Should have already happened. Need to defund this guy. Listen,
this Democrat congressman, I'm breaking and that's not a crime.
What this scene guy did, that's not a crime. Yeah,
I guess making an illegal U turn that's a traffic violation.
But you know they're not criminals.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Different from going up to people without telling them what
they've done in masks and putting them into tention facilities.
And I think the people that are being approached did
not commit any crimes, did not you know, we weren't
even suspective any crimes.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
No, it's not illegal to break into a country. Two
illegals from Guatemala, Guatemala currently living in the US were
charged with let's see rape aggrevated SOD to mean kidnapping
of an Oklahoma woman from a casino earlier this week,
took her away, kidnapped her from Oklahoma to Arkansas City, Kansas.
Luis Barrio so i lego from Guatemala across the border
(06:44):
legally in twenty thirteen. Do you think this was the
first time he was a bad guy since twenty thirteen? Yeah,
he was released by the Obama administration to live in America.
Let's see. No, he wasn't knowing he's a good guy.
He'd have been arrested before for disorderly conduct, hitting a
(07:05):
woman around, domestic violence, threatening a law enforcement officer, and
that's what he got caught for. So imagine what else
he's gotten away with. Let's go see his buddy Jose
Morales illegal from Guatemala across illegally as an unaccompanied miner.
It's just those kids. In twenty eighteen, he is little Jose,
cute little guy. He's gonna help add to America in
(07:28):
he kidnap, right to pray people. Violent people no place
in this country. I remember a guy coming down an
escalator once making that statement, they're not sending their best.
President Trump talking about the borders success and rightfully so,
(07:48):
I will say, bravo.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
All you can do is make sure you get a
good president, not one of these wacos like in California,
but runs the worst state anybody seen her. That guy
in Illinois who his family threw him out of the
business because he was no good. Now he's running Illinois.
He wants to run for He's got zero chance. Maybe
maybe Newscombe has a little bit of a chance. I
(08:10):
don't know. It's hard to believe because his record's bad.
But what all you can do is hope you don't
get that as president. We have a great bench. As
you know that, we have great talent, and j D
and Marco and Scott Scott, Scott Besson's been great and
Howard They're all. I mean, we have such supersize. Remember this.
Take a look at take a look at the border.
(08:33):
The border was a disaster. Millions of people who are
pouring through open border. Within two months it was perfect
and within Now every week there, every every month they
say zero people, zero people are coming in illegally. We
were taking people from prisons all over the world, gang members,
insane asylum mental patients from the worst insane asylums in
(08:56):
the world dropped in to our place. So now we
have a very secure border, beautiful border. I built hundreds
of miles of.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Wood, Yes he did. I have the July twenty twenty
five US custom Border Protection stats here, and I would
say history being made. Numbers don't lie, well, unless hearing government.
You can lie about jobs and whatnot. But yeah, most
numbers don't like. Illegal crossings in July dropped to the
(09:26):
lowest level ever recorded. Look get that good job. Way
to go, voters. Twenty four thousand, six hundred and twenty
eight total encounters nationwide, sixty one hundred border patrol apprehensions,
forty six hundred Southwest border apprehensions one hundred and sixteen
on July twentieth. That's the lowest single day total in
(09:48):
the agency's history. How many have been released?
Speaker 7 (09:53):
Zero?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
How many released last year July twenty twenty four under
Kamala and Joe twelve thousand, three hundred and sixty five
in one day zero in July, nine hundred sixty eight
pounds a fetnel. I bet that's enough to kill the
(10:18):
world over. You know how they say they find enough
to kill like millions of people. Yeah, that nine hundred
and sixty eight pounds of that. Sure, heroin seizures have
gone up eighty six percent. There's some good happening. Look
at that a year ago, three hundred and sixty five.
What if three hundred and sixty five of those twelve thousand,
(10:40):
three hundred and sixty five were Iranian terror cell sleep
or sell people. What if just sixty five of them
were What if just five of them wore You know
what I was thinking when all the world leaders were
there at the White House, sitting in the Oval Office
with President Trump this week earlier in the week, Who
I mean, could can you wheel up in a car
(11:02):
two football fields in the White House and get a
rocket propel grenade like Afghanistan on your shoulder, one of
those long things, and just I just think, like that
just seems so dangerous to me to have them all
right there in the same room. I was talking to
my mom and dad about My dad said he thinks
that way when he sees Trump and Dvance together, like
it's the boy you get hit there. I mean, that
(11:23):
just seems I don't know, risky in today's world. I'm
saying I had that thought right there. But let's see. Oh,
the border wall. I want to go back for a minute.
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Why was this not thought of before?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
President Trump has ordered the entire southern border wall to
be painted black hot, hot to the touch.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
You know that.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I have a dark car with black leather inside it.
I know about hot with black. Big difference, big difference.
But it just looks cool. So that's fine. I'll deal
with the hot there. But yeah, you think about that
that border wall, that that would that that desert sun.
(12:10):
And he said that dark paint will extend the steels
lifespan by slowing rust and also discouraging anybody from touching it. Hey,
they got money to do that up with here forty
seven billion they got for continued wall construction and maintenance.
That's a that's a new stream of money. Mere When
Nancy would even give them a billion when she said
(12:30):
I might even get that a dollar, not even a dollar.
I wonder if they totalled up how much it costs
with the Joe and Kamala administration to have all that
sit there idle. I remember it was like six million
a day or something. I wonder what that that that
that cost ran up to be over those beautiful four years.
(12:50):
We remember what it was like.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
We have.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
A secure border. Yeah, we remember what it was like
while twelve thousand people were surging in than a day.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
What I would do as president, I would, in fact
make sure that we immediately surge to the border. All
those people are seeking asylum.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
They deserve to be heard.
Speaker 9 (13:09):
That's who we are where a nation says, if you
want to flee and you're faining oppression, you should come.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
This is the Trevor Terry Show. On the Valley's Power.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Talk, Paul Leffler I said, man, why don't you just
come on next. Let's just do it here because he
has the Coaches Show tomorrow. And he said, all right,
so I look a good idea. So I'm already ready
getting the football move. We'll have the voice of President
State Athletics. Paul Leffler. He'll be coming in at the
bottom of the hours. The Dogs take on the Jayhawks Saturday,
(13:40):
first game of the year, and I think this is
one of the earliest college games of the whole NCAA
season here, so there'll be a lot of hungry people
eyeball in this one more than usual due to the
fact that it's only going to be one of the few.
We'll talk to mister Leffler about that coming up next
here on the show. Can't believe that it's already that time.
(14:04):
Time I can't figure out. I guess I should just
stop trying to figure out time, right. You know, you
spend a few decades on the planet, you try and
figure it out. And I've talked to people that, you know,
twenty years ago, I was interested in time even and
I would talk to people in their seventies and eighties
even then, and they said it just speeds up. So
(14:26):
I was kind of prepared for life to speed up,
and yes, it has. I go back to that old
country song. Days go by slow, but years go by fast.
And that's a good statement right there. Country music has
some of the best statements. That's why we do country
music Monday around these parts trying to act all cheerful
(14:49):
before I got to go into a horrible story here.
Homicide investigation underway. Guy was killed during a fight yesterday
afternoon four o'clock Orchard Grant near Belmont. Police roll up
twelve people in a in a squabble. Scruff guy who's
found in the stab wound. Thirty year old man fell
to the ground. They you stab in the upper part
(15:12):
of the body and deceased. How quickly things like that happen?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Man?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Even the rough of the rough that are out there,
what gangbanging or you know periphcty hanging around people that
are doing it. They never think it's even in that world.
They never wake up thinking that that's going to happen
to them. Just why can't we Why can't we all
get along? Wouldn't it be a beautiful world? Why can't
(15:41):
we just walk on Christmas Tree Lane and everybody behave themselves.
Christmas Tree Lane has suspended the walk nights for twenty
twenty five since a Valley dot com said suspended this year.
It's going to open, but you can drive down it.
One hundred and third year And what's that it's our
early December. That's what I get Christmas. The Big Garden
(16:05):
Homeowners Association has suspended the walk nights. I would think
that would be people getting on people's grass and lawn
and all of that. They said part of it, though,
was the street vendor situation that was going on. And
as I stated back when this issue first arose, if
(16:26):
they'd listen to King carry here had all been settled.
You get a area, a parking lot down from from
Christmas Tree Lane, somewhere where you set up some vendors.
It's a place where you go buy for the food trucks.
It gets you a little snack. Now you don't want
people they'll be throwing wrappers down and all of that.
(16:48):
So it's the street vendors. Why can't you have Christmas
Tree Lane and not have any vendors? Why didn't the
city just say no, you can't be out here. That's
it done. So that leads me to believe it has
something to do with people messing with people's houses or something,
because you could easily snap and go you can't have
a street vendor fights breaking out all that. Oh there
(17:10):
were fights last year. Well then there you go. There
you go, kids, We just can't have anything nice it's
people not behaving themselves. They said the street vendors had
taken position on residence private property, block driveways and side roads,
and had been aggressive to residents who asked them to leave.
(17:35):
All right, I'm just gonna say people out hawking stuff
on a Christmas night like that, that's third worldish. It
has its place, and it has its time, but that's
neither the time nor the place. And being aggressive to
residents that ask them to leave, no, and getting rid
(17:56):
of tradition. Look at that. See, that's how culture changes. Yes, yes,
I'll say that. Yes, it's obvious, it's happening. That's sad
that people can't walk anymore up and down, but hey,
it's it's their property. It's private property. And I pulled
the people for one hundred and three years that have
given that gift back. And I know ninety five percent
(18:18):
of the people behave people from everywhere around the world
that walk up and down that street behave themselves. Isn't
it always the knuckleheads?
Speaker 7 (18:26):
This is the Trevor Chary Show on the Valley's Powered Talk.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
But I got to be honest. I figured out I
sent you Wednesday at four thirty and I sent to
Agent Squire's Thursday at four thirty. So it's me and
I called it, Joe bidiis.
Speaker 8 (18:42):
I'm just glad I'm not the only one who doesn't
know what day it is.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Well, speaking of days, can you believe how quickly this
this time period has arrived here?
Speaker 8 (18:51):
Here? It comes ready or not? You know, I kind
of can't believe it. It's it's been a shorter summer
because the Bulldogs play an earlier game than usual. Right,
most of the name won't play till next weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
A lot of eyes on it, then a.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
Lot at National TV Fox. Tim Brando's calling the game,
Big opportunity, first game in Kansas's newly renovated stadium. It's
sold out, first game for the new head coach, first
game for the new quarterback, whose dad is in the
Hall of Fame, and who's going to be there. Yeah,
there's a lot going on. And I get to hang
out with Pat Hill and Cam Worel and I haven't
(19:22):
gotten to do that in a long time, at least
not in a broadcast booth. So I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
It's kind of like you know, cowboy Rangers out there
waiting out the season. They finally get to saddle up
and get the leather chaps on and get out on
the range again. Is it kind of that feeling it
has to be the players have it, You gotta have it.
Speaker 8 (19:40):
Yeah, yeah, no, you do, and you just want to
make sure you're not forgetting some right now. And you know,
there's just a We've got a lot of moving pieces,
a lot of new people, so anything that you were
used to doing before is going to be different.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I was going to say, learning new players and names
and their numbers. Do you sit there and kind of
quiz yourself at night putting names and numbers together? How
much prep do you we got to do for a
season like that? Quite a bit.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
I was working on some of that earlier today. But
you know that I'm also working on on hometown heroes.
And we got two honor flights coming up, and we
got this and this. It's kind of I've been jugging
a little bit, but Trevor, I'm just I'm pumped because
we live in a special place, filled with special people,
and every day there's reminders of that. If we're looking.
We had to kickoff the end of the other night,
(20:22):
and you know, raised a ton of money to support
the football program first coaches shows tomorrow night out at
the point five point thirty. If people want to come
meet the coach. We'll have players there throughout the year,
but just every day, I think if we're if our
eyes are open, there's a reminder that this is a
pretty special place. And I will say that it feels
(20:43):
a lot more special and a lot more fun when
the Bulldogs are winning and everybody's excited.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
You know, I've had a couple occasions to hear coach
ents talked to just a group of people out there
and I know, uh, Presol State and all the Bulldogs
fan and you personally went through kind of a sadness
period with the coaching change and all of that happening.
And he's shown up on the scene and he's a
he's a people person. If he's that way with just
(21:10):
you know, people on the crowd, like myself, I could
see myself liking to be a player for a guy
that talks like the way he.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
Talks well and the proofs in the pudding his players
love him, right. I mean, there are some players that
were in the transfer portal that had offers from our
schools where they were going to get paid to leave
and talking to him convinced them to stay. I mean,
that says something about him right there. I had a
chance on Monday to hang out with the Fresno the
Rotary Club of Fresno, the Downtown Rotary, great crowd, and
(21:39):
got to do a little Q and A with him,
And it was neat to see him interact with that
group and see the impression he made, because you know,
that's one of those groups. Most of the people in
that room have been here for decades. They've seen a
lot of people come and go, and they know who's
for real and who isn't. And I was, you know,
I was asking questions but also kind of observing, and
(22:00):
I thought he struck a really genuine tone that resonated
in that room, and I know he's doing that everywhere
he goes.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
I like when he talked about because North Dakota he's
got that Midwestern an him and he said when they
were at USC for that year down in La kind
of a shock and how he's equated the valley more
of a Midwestern feel like that, and he said he's
used it in is out there promoting with players and recruiting,
that it's a different kind of place it is, and
(22:26):
if you know, say, think California. He said, like, oh,
it's crazy.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
You know, it's different, and it's all relative, right, I mean,
our perspective is everything. And if you're from La or
San Francisco, you have a different view of what California
is than we do here in the valley. If you're
from the Midwest and you've never been out here and
you come here and all you've heard is beaches and
earthquakes and you know the valley girl accent and what
(22:50):
some of the stereotypes are about Californians. I ran into
that when I went to college on the East coast, right,
everybody said, how do you live there? With all those earthquakes.
I'm like, well, you know where I live, They're really
not that bad.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
I was explaining earlier about the California dream, and you
don't understand it if you've grown up here, like in
Tennessee in nineteen seventy nine, I might as say we're
moving to California. Wow, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
And so in other parts of the country that's a
really big deal. And then when they come here and
they see what the people are like, and they see
how diverse our community is, you don't have that kind
of diversity in a lot of places in the Midwest, right,
I mean, I guarantee you just let's just take food
you like to eat. I like to eat. Most places
in the Midwest you might have three of the food
(23:35):
categories that we have here in Fresno, But how many
do we have here? Right? I mean, you're not going
to get Mexican food there like you get here, certainly
not going to get them at Mexican.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Mexican food in the Midwest is like putting hot sauce
on a pork chop. That kind of makes the Mexican life. Hey,
I ordered a burrito in New York City and a
Chinese man delivered it in a ball a ball burrito
ball burrito ball a burrito. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
Yeah, well, And so I mean there's it's a surprising place,
and I think sometimes we forget how special our area
is because we're here. We get desensitized to it, and
there is that tension between other parts of the state.
But it's been fun to see this coaching staff. So
many of them, the new guys, are not from this area.
(24:20):
They're from other parts of the country. A lot of
them from the Midwest, and they're fired up. You know,
they love it. They see the opportunity, they see the value,
they appreciate the community, and they are really motivated to
win for the valley. So we'll see. I mean, they're
big underdog Saturday, but it won't be surprised me at
all if this is a game in the fourth quarter
and they have a chance to pull it out.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Whonn't it Perdue first game of the year? Yeah, two
years ago.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
Yeah, that's a big win.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Right, It's all blurring, but I I remember it being
the first game of the years. Well, my guess is
Paul Lefler, voice of President State Athletics taking on the
Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday. I know it's not, is it?
We're what's your tall Kansas?
Speaker 8 (25:01):
Lawrence?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Lawrence Kansas or as they say there, Lawrence. It's one syllable, Lawrence, Lawrence.
We're talking about food, California being known, of course for
Mexican food, Kansas at Kansas City Barbecue. Out of that,
I can't think of anything that maybe you and the
coach and cam are looking for.
Speaker 8 (25:18):
Have you been to Have you been? I've never been
to Lawrence. I have been to Kansas City. I've been
to the World War One Museum in Kansas City, which
if anybody ever goes there, you've got to visit. It's conte,
it's heavy, it's powerful.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
That you're getting back into the on the road eating
that you I always ask you, like, what do you
have in Albuquerque? You know? Yeah, places like that. Is
there anything on your calendar that.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
You got I've received some recommendations from folks. I so,
you know, one of the baseball coaches at Fresno State,
Richie Price, was a great player for the University of Kansas.
He told me about a barbecue spot there. But we'll
see with Cam and coach in our travel schedule. Would
love to fit in a hike on Saturday morning like
we usually do, but now the new coach has moved
(25:59):
chapel to Saturday morning. That was always the night before.
So I'm still trying to figure out my own schedule
here trying.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I didn't know they did. That's that's good to hear. Oh,
it's great, great sports team, chaplains.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
Yeah, but yeah, and it's you know, it's voluntary, it's
not a mandatory thing.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
But how tended is it?
Speaker 8 (26:17):
You know, Historically I'd say maybe thirty percent of the
roster right and sounds like so far this year in
training camp, it's a lot higher percentage with their Chaplain's
a guy named cam Lamb Newsy who played for the Bulldogs.
Gave up his last year of eligibility to move into
that role, and I'd love to interview him sometimes. If
you can put us in touch, I'll send him over.
You'd love to talk to him. He's got a real
compelling personal story. But maybe more relevantly to our discussion,
(26:41):
he's got an incredible rapport with the team. They really
trust him, respect him, and his voice resonates with these
young people.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah, well, that's good to hear. Gonna be young people
in and out with name, image and likeness. I'm glad
to hear with the portal that a lot of them
decided to stay because of the coaching style of coach
Intz Here out there at the stadium. Thanks everybody that
allowed us to come out there and walk on the field.
That new turf. I don't know if I've ever been
(27:13):
on astro turf or as they call it, you know,
artificial grass, but it did feel different. Obviously, it felt different.
I know you probably know a lot more about it
out there, but that had to not be cheap to
put that whole field down, I would assume no.
Speaker 8 (27:30):
And part of that was a real generous donation from
the Astro Turf company itself. In fact, you'll see their
name on the turf. Now. I think some of that
turf had to be massaged a little bit after Shakira
got done with her big show there.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
But hey, you are did they cover it? Did they
cover it? Did they cover They did cover it all?
But yeah, that's pretty big production.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
And you know, I know there were a few little
hiccups with that that Fresno State has owned, but.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
They realized they weren't Bill Graham presents yet.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
But I just wanted though, you know, I want to
congratulate Garrett Klassley, the athletic director, because that was a gamble, right,
It was a It was a bold move to say
we're going to do this, and we're going to do
it in early August, so shorter notice than those concerts ever,
have less time to figure it out, and way hotter
weather than you would usually plan on. And you know,
(28:21):
everyone that I talked to that went had a great
time and it was big success and generated a lot
for a local economy.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Out of all the problems any kind of production can have.
For a concert of that level there, I would say
that's way down the list that they would want to have,
like the sound didn't work, or the artists didn't show
up on time, you know what I mean, to have
long lines? All right, Well that's kind of expected at times.
But I've heard the talk of a course. Everybody would
love a you know, renovation, but i've heard a talk
(28:48):
of a new stadium actually and it being a valley draw.
And I think that concert just showed. I think it
brought extra what two million into the city from out
of towners.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Yeah, uh, And I I think you're right. I think
you put a new stadium in this community, and you
can times that by fifty, right, and the proofs in
the pudding. Now, San Diego has a different climate. We
all understand that bigger population base. But since the Aztecs
have gotten their new stadium, they've used that for a
professional soccer, for concerts, for all kinds of things. You
(29:21):
imagine something like that state of the art here in
the valley, which would probably be really you know, either
slightly more expensive, maybe even less expensive, or just tantamount
to redoing Valley Children's Stadium. It could be a game
changer and it could yield dividends for decades to come.
So whatever that model's going to be, to fund it,
(29:43):
wherever you're going to have to find to put it,
and what kind of you know, contingencies or trade offs
that'll require, I think investigating that plan is absolutely worth it.
And again tip my cap to Garrett class C, the
athletic director, because he hasn't shied away from that conversation.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Well, uh, you're way better talking in meetings and in
front of people than I am, so I want to
channel this through you. Here's my idea, Valley Children's Fresno Colisseum.
It's the colisseum they built that the Romans did in
eight years, so we need to do it in four.
And they have these big tart things that they would
when it would be hot, cloth like tarps they would
(30:21):
roll out over to almost make it look like where
the Cowboys used to play with a circle in the
middle Texas Stadium. So we half dom it with cloth
or whatever they roll out and roll back when we
don't need it. So here's my idea. Well, a couple things.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
I mean, first, you said coliseum, and I'm thinking lions
versus Christians. We've got a lot of Christians in our community,
but only a couple of lions at the zoo, So
maybe the odds will be better.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Already not succeeding in my meeting, I had a guy,
a Christian man, stand up in the back and bring
this up.
Speaker 8 (30:52):
All right, then, But then you said half dome, and
of course I thought of Yosemite.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
What if you made Valley Children's resne Valley Children's half Dome?
Speaker 8 (31:02):
Could you have a replica half dome on one side
of the stadium that the retractable roof comes out of.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I don't think you need a retract We're giving out
too many ideas we need. We need to get a
consultancy fee for this. So let's stop giving out these
great ideas. I will.
Speaker 8 (31:17):
You ought to hear what I think is a great idea.
I'm not saying yours. Isn't you mentioned? You know I've
mentioned half dome. I think it would be awesome to
see a college basketball game in Yosemite. They are all
these college basketball teams around the country. In the offseason,
they'll take their their players to Italy or Canada or
wherever for an educational experience, and really it's to build
(31:40):
camaraderie and get the team going. We've got Yosemite right there,
there's a you know, there's a hockey rink there in
the winter in Curry Village. You put a basketball court
on that footprint. You make that a national TV event
and you have a couple of college teams, maybe it's
a girls women's men's double header, and those teams get
to spend a week in the national parks learning about that,
(32:01):
and then they play a made for TV basketball game.
I think that would be a hit.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Well, they play hockey at Fenway Park in the middle
of the winter.
Speaker 8 (32:09):
That's exactly what I think it would be like. It
would be like the Stadium series. It would be a
visual you know, spectam inside outside in the summer. Okay,
you can't do it during basketball season.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
It's you could have Olympic pre pre stuff for the
Olympic team to come up and do a little exhibition
as well before they head off to wherever.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
Yeah, and then you know, you can bring the Harlem
Globetrotters and the cast of Gilligan's Island. We can get
a moll And Ball is.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Danny Bonaducci still around. You get him to fight somebody
up there or something.
Speaker 8 (32:41):
Yeah. See, don't get me started on crazy ideas.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Trevor Leffler and Carrie, what are we going to call
our company here? We got we got the idea, so
we okay to sum it all up, it's the half
domee stadium, that's what we're calling it, because with the
circle in the middle, with the close that come out,
and then we're gonna take the idea up to usemody
as well. So it's a two pronged plan.
Speaker 8 (33:04):
And on the other side you could have bridal veil
falls running red for the Red Way.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
You're good. I'm glad I went into business with you. Man.
Speaker 8 (33:13):
Our slogan is better than AI, better than AI.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Well, you got the coach A show tomorrow night at
five point thirty at the point I expect you to
probably start it out with telling coach Ns the idea.
Speaker 8 (33:24):
I think I really should. I think that should be
his top priority this week.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
I'll get the podcast over to him beforehand so that
he will be well versed on it, so you don't
have to go through the whole explanation. Good, Paul, I'm glad.
We're back in action here. Man. This is gonna be
good stuff. And I hope you get some good food there,
and Lawrence I'll report.
Speaker 8 (33:42):
Back to And thanks for bringing some light to my
Wednesday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
You did good, all right. The pre pregame at one
thirty with CK and the crew, the pregame with Paul
Leffler and Coach Hill and Cam RL and then the
kickoff at three point thirty.
Speaker 8 (33:55):
And you know CEK on that pregame and postgame they're
gonna be hanging out up at Table Mountain, knowing the
official watch party there with the blue Oak grill. So
if you're not going to the game and you don't
have a place to watch it, go hang out with
c K.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Who knows that you're from now that you can say,
hanging out with CK up at half Doma Yosemite at
the This Zipline.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
And Trevor Cherry show on the Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Thanks to Paul Lefler, voice of friendso Sate Athletics. I'm
glad he came in today. Indeed, great ideas there were
Leffler and Kerry consulting. We'll see how how far as
those go. First game of the year, of course you
can hear it right here on Power Talk and iHeartRadio
app and Fox Sports thirteen forty and up and down
(34:39):
the valley. We'll start our pre pregame with c K
one thirty and then Leffler, Coach Hill and cam Orel
with your pre game two thirty to three thirty with
the kickoff, and Paul's talking about how it's going to
be nationally broadcast on Fox as well TV on mute.
Listening to it on radio, do that sometimes when I coloring,
(35:00):
I do. I really like to hear Paul and Coach
and Cam way more than any national person because the
knowledge of the team and the game and past stuff
that's going on. I love all the here in the
history with it and their camaraderie. I tell you, Paul
Leffler is and I rank people with interviews. Some of
(35:21):
them are like, so is that you grew up in Pittsburgh?
Speaker 8 (35:25):
Did you?
Speaker 7 (35:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Okay, that's in Pennsylvania. So yeah. Paul's like sitting down
eating a Grand Slam at Denny's just having a conversation
as well. And I understand getting in front of a
microphone it's difficult for some people, and they're nervous, and
I get that, but Paul's just such a joy to
talk to him. We're very fortunate to have him here.
(35:48):
The old area President's not here anymore. He called him
the the Bob Costas of the Valley. He really is
his style like that, such knowledge of the game. And
I put Leffler above Bob Costas because Costa's kind of
my nerve. And he tell me back in the day,
turning your lights off at halftime for green energy. I
don't like you anymore ever since then he told me
(36:10):
what to do in my living room. Come on, Bob,
But I still go hug a tree, Bob. But I
still love what he does those ESPN shows about baseball.
He's still the best to go back and talk about it.
When he brings in the you know, the eighty six
Mets and Red Sox to sit on the barstools and
have a conversation. There's nobody better, I think than Bob Costa.
