Speaker 1 (00:00):
Backing him with all the billions dollars, is the is
the Antichrist? Now, that's not what I'm saying. That podcaster
was asking Peter TiAl about, hey, and all your technology,
you know, like a law mushuse rockets up, Peter Till,
PayPal now palint big technology, military be able to like
track you down to see if you have a quarter
(00:22):
in your pocket or not walking across a parking lot.
I d you tell everybody what the mascot of the
high school you went to was. That kind of stuff.
I was talking about it a few a few days
ago about who backed jd. Vance. Well, yeah, Peter Till
took him down tomorrow Largo and said he probably calls
(00:43):
him Don. Yeah, Pete, yeah, Don hey Don, he's not
never Trumper anymore. Jad get in here, Hey, yeah, this
is this is the guy he's telling you about. Military
guy Ohio, Yeah, come on, introduced him to him. That's
well known. Nothing wrong with politicians having backers. You have to,
but it's in our job to go see who's backing who. Yeah, yeah,
(01:07):
it is. So when I spoke about this and talked
about his uh, his rise from poverty to riches, that's
an American story. And I'm not anti President Vice President Vance,
not at all, not saying this. I'm saying, we're looking
into the backer here, and even if he wasn't involved
with Vance, I would still be saying, this is an
(01:28):
interesting guy to look into here, the billionaire, and I
a little more curious. So I decided to go, look
at you be doing that job. Actually, you wouldn't do
that because you are No. I am, I am. I
looked into it, and I'm God.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
You should be doing that job.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I should have to be doing it.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I know I did look into it. I did my job,
and boy, I tell you, I went to the library
and poured through old newspapers in the microfilm room. Those
were the days, right, I remember those days. But no,
I went onto al Gore's WWW and found something interesting
(02:10):
here it is. It's an article at the Times dot
com by Luisa Clarence Smith and it said why the
tech gods of Silicon Valley have turned to Christianity? And
I said, well, I think I need to look into that.
What are they talking about? Because it was under a
search of Peter Till that this article came up, so
(02:31):
I started reading it. They said, there's been a revival
of interest in Christianity in Silicon Valley. Churches in San
Francisco are reporting swelling congregations. Wasn't it. Wow? Okay, I
hadn't heard about that revival. I've heard about some down
in southern California where like record amount of people were baptized.
They said, the interest in Christianity has been prompted in
large part by the question raised by the development and
(02:53):
use of AI. And at that point I went, Hmm,
sounds weird. I'm interested. Me let me go see this
weirdness here. And I kept an open mind to see
what they were talking about. And they said, some influential
entrepreneurs choosing to discuss their faith openly. Peter Till, co
founder of PayPal and Palantar, did a sold out series
(03:17):
of lectures starting next month on the Biblical Antichrist. Wow.
Now triple interested. What is going on here? You know
the guy that would, as you heard the podcaster, ask
everything that you've put together, it could get in here
and develop something like that. Let's listen to it again here.
(03:38):
Now that you know that Peter Till's going to be
start talking about the Antichrist.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
You're an investor in Ai, you're deeply invested in palanteer,
in military technology and technologies of surveillance and technologies of
warfare and so on. Right, it just seems to me
that when you tell me a story about the Antichrist
coming to power and using the fear of technico logical
change to sort of impose order on the world, I
(04:03):
feel like that Antichrist would be maybe be using the
tools that you think you are that you were building.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
All right, yeah, we think that, right, that kind of
technology trackability no matter where you are around the planet.
But wouldn't it kind of be easy to go No, No,
I'm not involved with Antichrist stuff. Listen to how long
the pause when he.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Said accidentally hastens his or her arrival. They're all they
are all these different scenario. I obviously don't think that
that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Okay, you're not the Antichrist, And in this podcaster said
I'm not saying you are the Antichrist. I'm not saying
that either. I'm saying I'm finding it rather interesting that
he is going to be holding sold out lectures next month.
They said it's called Act seventeen collective, that's the organization
(04:59):
Act stand for Ignore Edging Christ in Technology and Society,
and it was founded last year by a startup executive
and the wife of a partner of Peter Till's fund,
which sells autonomous weapons systems for military use. But he's warning.
Peter Till's warning of a one world totalitarian state. He's
(05:20):
been talking about the Antichrist. He warned about the emergence
of an individual or system that could exploit fears a
global catasrophe driven by AI to enforce a one world
totalitarian state that undermines human freedom. He said, if you're
the political solution to AI risk would be a push
for a one world government. I intensely kind of said
(05:42):
that real quick, just to blur over. I'm going to
go back and let you hear what you just heard
and make sure you heard it. He being Peter Till,
feared the political solution the AI risk would be a
push for a one world government, the fears driven by
(06:04):
AI to enforce a one world state that undermines human freedom.
All right, they said, this congregation at this church where
Acts seventeen, that's the group's name. Acts seventeen has gone
from three hundred to eight hundred, and they say Peter
(06:27):
Till has helped to normalize Christianity. All right, I'm gonna
now let you hear this man's words. I listened to
an hour of an interview that he did with this podcaster,
and he was asked about the how the world would submit.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
I'm just interested in how you get to will a
world willing to submit to permanent authoritarian rule will.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
But but again, there are these different gradations of this
we can describe.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
But come on, Connelle, is is this so preposterous?
Speaker 5 (07:08):
What I've just told you as a broad account of
the stagnation that the entire world has submitted for fifty
years to peace and safetysm, this is a first Thessalonians
five three. The slogan of the Antichrist is peace and
safety because and and we've submitted.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
We've already submitted to it, he's saying over the last
fifty years. But listen to him, say how you we
me you? How we transform ourselves? Nah, Now we don't see.
We gotta we gotta, we gotta listen to what this
man is saying. We we don't. God transforms us, that's
what happens.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
You also need to transform your soul and you need
to transform your your whole self. I think the word
in nature does not occur once in the Old Testament,
and so uh, you know, if you if you you know,
and that there is you know, there is a word
in which a sense in which the way I understand
you know, the you know, the Judeo Christian inspiration is
(08:09):
it is it is, it is. It is about transcending nature.
It is about overcoming things. And you know, and the
closest thing you can say to nature is that people
are fallen and that that's the natural thing. In a
Christian sense is that you're messed up.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yeah, we're sinful, We're in need of forgiveness. Listen, how
you can't answer this question?
Speaker 5 (08:33):
You know, there's some ways that you know, with God's help,
you are supposed to transcend that and overcome that. From
a Christian point of view, these people are not ambitious enough.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
What is the Antichrist?
Speaker 5 (08:43):
How much time do we have?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
We've got as long as much time as you have
to talk about the Antichrist?
Speaker 5 (08:50):
All right, Well, I have a but no, I think, uh,
I think there's always a question, you know, how how
do we articulate you know, some of these existential risks
some of the challenges we have. And because I would
say the political solution, the default political solution people have
(09:17):
for for all these existential risks is one world governance.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Again, I'm just playing you the words of the moneybacker
of the Vice President of the United States of America.
Not that Vice President Advance does everything this man tells
him to do. He's not beholden to him. Well, we
don't know how long the contract would say. Anyhow, here
he is stating, and he's not stating this, he's talking
about the people that do want a one world government.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
You know, what do we do about AI? And we
need global compute governance. We need, you know, a one
world government to control all the computer's log every single
key stroke to make sure people don't program a dangerous AI.
And I've been wondering if that's sort of a you know,
going from the frying pan into the fire. And so
(10:07):
the atheist philosophical framing is one world or None. That
was a short film that was put out by the
Federation of American Scientists in the late forties. Starts with
the nuclear bomb blowing up the world, and obviously you
need a one world government to stop it. One world
or none, and the Christian framing, which in some ways
(10:30):
the same question is Antichrist or armageddon?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
All right, he says a lot. You have to really
listen in very closely to try and even figure out
what he really said. I'm picking up on the fact
that he's talking about it will be a fear, fear fear,
that's how he's talking about because he's asked, how does
the Antichrist take over the world?
Speaker 5 (10:55):
How does the Antichrist take over the world. He gives
these demonic, hypnotic speeches and people just fall for it,
and so it's this plot hole, it's.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
This demonium, and it's totally it's implausible.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
It's a very implausible plot hole, right, But I think
we have an answer to this plot hole. The way
the Antichrist would take over the world is you talk
about armageddon NonStop. In our world. The thing that has
political resonance is the opposite. It is it is the
thing that has political resonances. We need to stop science.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Stop science. Hmm. Let's go back in here. When he
was asked this.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Wouldn't the Antichrist be like, great, you know, we're not
going to have any more technological progress. But I really
like what Palanteer has done so far, Right, Isn't that
Isn't that a concern? Wouldn't that be the you know,
the irony of history would be that the man publicly
worrying about the Antichrist accidentally hastens his or her arrival.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
H They're all Look, they're all these different scenario. I
obviously don't think that that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Okay, let me sweep all this together if I can.
I'm still trying to make sense of where it's all
headed here. But we have a news article about Christianity
surging in the Bay Area with all these technology people.
Peter till is giving speeches on the sermons or whatever
he's doing, holding events about the Antichrist. This guy's asking
(12:29):
him about are you putting together the kind of things
that could bring an Antichrist into be with all the
technology and the power that you're using here? And you
heard his words and what he stated, But don't we
have to really pay attention to these next statements here?
Let me ask you real quick, director Ryan Nigel, does
God control history? He nodded, yes, Yes, I would answer
(12:53):
that quickly as well.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Do you think God is in control of history.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
I man, this is again like we I think that
I think there's always room for human freedom and human choice.
These things are, you know, or at least where we
are today, these things are you know, they're they're they're
(13:21):
not you know, they're not absolutely predetermined one way or another.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Let me remind you when the Disciples asked Jesus about
the end times. Jesus is flume. I call fum first
words out of mouth, woom first words. Be careful that
nobody deceives you. Many will come in my name saying
I am Christ. They're going to mislead many and to
(13:47):
recap a guy with billions, with a business attracting people
with technology. It's funded the guy next in line to
be the president. And he's telling us at fearing AI,
I guess will lead to a one world government. And
he say this in church, No, I fear it. Be careful.
That's that's not my words.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
This is the Trevor Terry Show on The Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You hate to say this after what happened yesterday in Minnesota.
Nobody got shot, nobody got hurt here, But this is
the your Central Valley dot Com. Just a few hours ago,
Elementary school in Freside placed on lockdown follow a report
of a suspect on campus. Wilson Wilson Elementary School, Ashlin
and Hughes lockdown around one fifty report of a suspect
on campus believed to be carrying a Firearmed parents were
(14:34):
seen entering the campus. Police opened the gates for them.
No further information been provided by Fresnel police on this.
I'm just hearing in my headphone. A kid was arrested
twenty two minutes ago. What sixth grader? Did he have
(14:55):
a weapon? An armed sixth grader? You're you're okay? Well
that's up to the minute update there. Thank you appreciate that. Well, wow,
all right? Did he buy it in an alley? Sure
could have done that. I'm gonna guess maybe it came
(15:16):
from a home. It actually made me feel a little
bit better about society if it came from my home
and they didn't. Kid didn't buy it in the alley.
But that's an issue, and that's a problem I guess
they'll be. We'll just leave it at that. We'll see
what the information and details are on that one. Whoo
all right, uh, Peter Tiel, they're talking about AI and
(15:39):
the the oncoming. We're in such early stages of this.
We are in like nineteen late nineteen ninety three. Oh
you got an email?
Speaker 6 (15:48):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I'll find out in a few years when I go
down to office depot and get my AOL disc and
get knocked off online because call waiting happened and I
you know, we'd all be on the dialogue thing. You
couldn't be on the phone in the Internet at the
same time. Let me email you a picture. All right,
I'm gonna go to bed. I'll send an alarm for yours.
Get up and it'll print out. Yeah. Uh, that's kind
(16:12):
of the stage we are with AI right now. Yeah,
there's some cool fun things and funny laughs and wow,
that looks so real. How would you know? Of the deference?
But they're not just building big power centers to power this.
You hear the money that President Trump is talking about
that's coming in for AI. They're not doing it so
(16:35):
that we're going to be entertained. There's way way more
to this. But right now, just in the opening innings here,
parents are suing open AI said chat GPT help their
sun commits, say gave him advice on how to tie
a knot. They said he got around the program by
(16:58):
asking for a fictional story that he was is how
I guess they they got around that all the conversations
weren't all suicide related. The dad said they got in
and found out everything that he had been talking about
the conversations. He said, it was everything under the sun.
He said, I want to leave my noose in my
(17:19):
room so somebody finds it and tries to stop me.
He wrote. Chat GPT said, please don't leave the news out.
Let's make this space the first place where someone actually
sees you. Wow, guys see Uh well, maybe I guess
what it's doing is sweeping everything up around the world,
and is it going into the dark web and sweeping
(17:42):
into that as well. A man accidentally poisoned himself with
bromide after taking chat gpt advice. And in other news,
a woman has announced her engagement to AI chatbot after
a five month romance. So we're gonna have all different
kind of stories. We have no idea where this is
going to lead us to.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
This is the Trevor Cherry Show on The Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
So glad that he's here. Paul Leffler, the voice of
President State Athletics.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Welcome in almost kind of like you were singing there.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I almost was there to the whorrest in Jesus, baby'd
be speaking of talent. Have you been swimming in the lake.
This is the kind of weather I would think it'd
be the best time to jump in a lake.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
I was out there last week. I didn't make it
this week, but last week the water was still nice
and warm.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Kill everybody where you go and what you do. They're
like what lake.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Lakes right outside of Presno, right, I mean it's it's
an easy drive and early in the morning at sunrise,
you gets see that sun peeking up over the mountains
illuminating the water. You might see a rattlesnake. You might not.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
You might get a leech on your thigh. You know,
it's worth it.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
It's it's you know, it's a good way to start
a day. I'll say that.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I bet it's a wake. There's no there's no sleepy
feel left after you do that, right, what's that?
Speaker 6 (19:03):
You feel refreshed? You know? It gets your lungs going
a little bit. You know.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I have heard enough stories that people that do stuff
like that that I can now almost feel what it
might feel like Alma, yeah, Alma. I remember Lake Isabella though,
jumping in up there way too early in the season
as I was a teenager from Ridgecrest going up there.
Oh sure, that was like no, that was like not fun.
(19:27):
Shocked to the body. I don't know what that temperature was.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
But you're just ahead of your told, you know. Now
cold plunge is the big thing. You're just ahead of
your time.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Have you seen those daredevils off those cliffs that go
through the holes in the ice?
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Oh no, I haven't. I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
It makes my knees just watching it. I feel them
like when I was on top of the Empire State Building,
that same sensation in my knees, that weak feel. Yeah,
well imagine, well, Paul, sometimes when you're I guess, willing
to go play anybody, you face some major opponents. They
saw one in Kansas. They you know, a big opponent Perdue,
(20:02):
and that two years ago had momentum on the side.
I guess, how's it not to look at it as deflating.
It would have just been you roll the dice sometimes
with that with that that mission, right.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Yeah, and it's about matchups. Trevor and I think, you know,
anybody that really knows football knows why the quarterbacks get
paid the big bucks. You know, And that's true at
the NFL level. It's true at the college level now
that they let people get paid. There was an article
last week that said, you know, the going rate for
a Power conference quarterback is like one to three million
dollars Resno State might pay its whole team, you know
(20:38):
that total. And Jalen Daniels, the quarterback they ran into
for Kansas, couldn't have played much better than he did
a sixth year yearleven year, but polished, comfortable, composed, They
never rattled him. He had a masterful game. And I
think Kansas, if they keep him healthy's gonna win a
lot of games this year, and that loss may be
seen a little differently down the road. We'll see. That's
(20:58):
if he stays healthy. And you know, on the other side,
you had a bulldog making his first started quarterback and
he wants some of those plays back. And so this Saturday, EJ.
Warner gets to play at Valley Children Stadium for the
first time, hopefully a sold out crowd. You know, the
Valley filled that stadium six times last year, six times
the year before. It led the non power schools and
(21:19):
attendance nationally two years in a row. So it's a
chance at a three peat this year, and Saturday is
the first chance for the Red Wave to show up
and create that imposing environment.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I want to go back to EJ. Warner, but before
I Joe Biden forget, I want to tell all you guys,
and I told I listened from the very start up
until the very end when I was too sad, and
that whole everything before the game started, I'm just going
to say, like them being at the casino, you guys
(21:48):
be in there. Tim from Fox TV, Yeah, coming on,
and you all sounded like you were in the same room.
You weren't over talking, which if that's difficult to do
for those that do not know, like you and I
have eye contact right now, we can almost see when
the body's gonna talk. It sounded like CBS Radio Sports
covering the Cotton Bowl. It was. It was flawless. And
(22:08):
everybody that ran the audio, because you know, I'm an
audio kind of, I know, it just sounded smooth, sposed
to be flawless. It just sounded great.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
So until the game, well, well the.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Score, hey, it was seven to seven. At one point,
I was like, there was they scored, Okay, we scored,
let's keep this up, let's go boy. That was a
ramp up and then little air came out of the balloon.
But let me ask you, I want to go back
to EJ. Warner.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Uh, he's a veterer and he's faced pressure for years
and he didn't perform up what people thought. But coach
in did not replace him. I know there was some
probably some questioning of Okay, we're down this much, let's
give the next guy a shot. But that's a message.
I guess you're you're gonna be my guy.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
Well for now, right. I think he probably knew that
if he brought someone else in late in the game,
it would just invite the questions or you know, do.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
We have a quarterback controversy after game one?
Speaker 6 (23:03):
Right? Pat Hill is still stung by that term, and
he was sitting next to me and I understand, you know,
that's the quarterback that they've chosen to be the leader.
It was a close competition. I still won't be surprised
if the others get a chance to play at some point,
but I want I think they wanted EJ. To get
as much experience with his teammates as possible, and even
when the game looked like it was out of hand,
(23:25):
those reps are valuable at live game speed against that
kind of competition. It's almost like, you know, the best
practice for this week was toward the end of that
game last week. Yeah, you can never really replicate and
practice what you're seeing, especially against those opponents. Because keep
in mind, you know, Kansas, if the new revenue sharing
policy in college sports, Kansas is going to pay that
(23:47):
roster twenty million dollars this year, right, I mean that's
there's a discrepancy here in the resources one school has
versus the other.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
We are to the rich and not rich leagues, aren't
we We talked about it few years ago or.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
So spoiled Trevor because the Bulldogs forever have been the
team that they don't care about, that they're gonna go
beat you anyway, right, and they've done it so many times.
So I know fans expectations are high, and you want
them to be high. And this week, you know, this
is a tougher game than people realize. Georgia Southern one
eight games. Last year they almost beat Boise with one
of the best teams Boise States ever had. And you know,
(24:22):
they've got a veteran coach in Clay Hilton, who led
USC to a record that I think the Trojan fans
would take back. Now, a guy's been around the game forever, well,
coached team, a lot of talent.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
So Georgia's southern coach, he used to be at USC.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
He was. Yeah, Clay Helton beat Fresno State twice. This
is gonna be a good game. It's gonna be a
tough game. And if Fresno State doesn't improve from that
effort last week, if they aren't sharper, if they don't
cut down on penalties, if they aren't more disciplined, if
they don't have better decision making from the quarterback, if
the defense isn't more physical and more consistent, Bulldogs could
(24:58):
easily be owing to So this is a it's a
big game for them, they know it, and it's a
big game for the Red Wave to show up and
give them that support and prove once again that this
is who Fresno State is, this is who the Valley is.
And you know, this whole season is going to be
a little bit of a ramp up to this new
PAC twelve, and you know, every day that goes by,
we're getting a little clearer picture of what the PAC
(25:19):
twelve is going to be like. There may still be
some other teams coming in eventually, but the television package
is coming into view, right. CBS was the first one.
Now the CW is on board. I think there's still
more to come with that. We're learning more about the
PAC twelve network and some of the streaming opportunities that
are going to be there. There's a lot of excitement coming.
(25:40):
But what happens on the field this year, I think,
is what's really going to wet people's appetites.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Wow, yeah, let's uh the unis that was a big
deal thereby won't that back to the car days? I am,
I wasn't around them. That's what we're talking about, right, Yeah.
Did you like the look?
Speaker 6 (25:57):
I did? Yeah? I thought it looked good. And I
just I think the hard thing was I'm sitting next
to Pat Hill and Cam worel Well, Cam's on the field,
but Cam wore that helmet and hit people really hard
in that helmet. And I think the defense is going
to be a really good defense this year and going
to be a physical defense didn't live up to its
(26:19):
potential in that game against Kansas and has a message
to send against Georgia Southern Saturday night, and I think
these players are going to be really motivated. We'll hear
from one of them tonight on the coaches show out
at the point. We'll be there from five thirty to
six thirty, and we have some prizes to give away.
But cam Broca, one of the team captains, senior safety
from right here in the valley, played at Buchanan heih
and Fresno City College. He's going to be out there
(26:40):
with us along with coach Enz tonight.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
What percentage, I don't know. If you have a number,
you can just ballpark it new from last year, all
the new names that you've had to believe.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
It's forty nine new players. So that's almost half the
entire team.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Let's talk about we're talking about the rich league, in
the not rich leagues. You're talking about that Kansas team.
He's a twenty million dollar price tag on it, and
we're maxing out at three basically at all Park. Okay,
those are kind of the parameters. But when you think
back to the old days, and I mean, what four
years ago. Yeah right, you had a team like here,
(27:16):
a new coach. Almost half the players are new. If
you were zero and two or zero and four an
end of the season maybe you know, wherever not a
great you learn and you grow, they become you know,
especially when become sophomore, junior, they learn and grow together
as a team. Now, you know, if you're not winning,
(27:37):
you know, a star player and be like I'm out
of here, bam, it kind of takes away that, Hey
we were I remember when Troy Akman with the Cowboys.
I think they won one game of first year. A
few years later they won the Super Bowl. Yeah, you
know that kind of mentality of a new coach getting
to grow the team. It takes that a little. It's
a big hit, there, isn't it. Oh Am? I thinking
(27:57):
right on that sports guy.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
And even if you do win, you may lose your
top talent anyway because other programs can pay him more.
That's it's created a completely different We need to drill
for oil right now in this valley, right right here.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
We need to have the football players dedicate some time
out there. We'll have millions slowing in man baby drill. Yes,
that's right.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
There was some news from Fresno State today. And you know,
I know a lot of Bulldog fans. They've had season
tickets forever and they have exactly the spot where they
want to sit, and it's kind of a legacy and
they want to support the program. And maybe some of
them see this deal and they say, well, why can't
I have that deal with what I already have? But
(28:39):
Presno State a new idea. It's really creative. Kind of
takes me back to the heyday of the Bulldog Foundation
when they would do their annual fund drives. To me,
I mean, the reason we have the facilities at Fresno
State that are there is that this was a grassroots effort.
The community built that stadium, the community built the baseball park,
and the Bulldog Foundation fund drives were where everybody is.
(29:00):
You know, it's multi level marketing. It's this grassroots thing.
You're calling all your friends getting them to support the program.
And part of that, well you're going to get tickets
to all these sports too. So it's got an element
of that. This new initiative. I don't know if you
heard about it today, you did.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
The Bulldog director Ryan Nigel gets credit for handing me this.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Yes, so there you go. So it's the price was
ninety nine dollars, but until kickoff on Saturday, they're doing
it for seventy four bucks. I almost couldn't believe it
when I read all the details. So for seventy four dollars,
you can actually go to any Fresno State home game
in any sport all year long.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
That's a that's a that's a backstage Beyonce pass. He
just rolled right through anything you want to go to. Yeah,
I just say, Shakira, excuse me.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
So I mean that that's a pretty good deal that
would make I guess you'd have to give it to
him now so they wouldn't miss any it's being early Christmas. Yeah,
but seventy four bucks. I mean you could somebody right now,
you know.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
That somebody right now has somebody has a birthday coming
up next week, and they went go, that's the ticket.
They're a big fan. They would love that, and it
only costs me seventy four I'm out the door, bam.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
And I don't know if they're doing this or not,
but you'd be kind of cool as if they had
a competition with that to see who can go to
the most. Because I bet you could get it down
that on the dollar an event.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Start that on the air.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Then if you did football, basketball, women.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Put it up on YouTube and the film it and
you'll you'll I'll promote it, you'll promote it. We'll get
everybody watching.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Them, baseball, softball, equestrian, tennis, whatever.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
I think he just raised his hand in there, ying
like polo or are you raising your hand? He was diving.
He wasn't raising his hand.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
But you could make it to seventy four home events
this year if you tried really hard, well, they couldn't
out do you. Well, I only do the three sports.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I might well other events attributed to sports and veterans,
World War two in Vietnam, and the and the church
and your family.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, you out doing man. I can guarantee that. I
got one more question for you. Now that we're in
this new world where they can act like in a
players and get and get money, can the university say, hey,
we're going to sign you, but you're going to give
us a two year commitment. You can't go to the portal.
Can they lock them in like that?
Speaker 6 (31:10):
You know, that's what's going to be interesting if some
things like that get standardized I know a lot of
people are talking about it, and if a player were
to agree to that, sure, I think you're also though,
if those deals start happening, there's going to be this
pushback from the player side, right, There's going to be
somebody who signs that wants to get out of the
(31:31):
Oh my word is going to be like the pros.
It's going to take some time before all the dust
settles on this. But you know, I would love to
see it get back to the purity of the sport.
And you know, and that for me, I don't know
about you, Trevor, and I know I don't have a limited,
unlimitless soapbox here to keep blabbing. But what everyone loves
(31:52):
about sports is that you see the power of when
people put their own priorities aside for this greater priority
of a team, that you can do exponentially more.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I want you to say more. I know you get
to get to the point later, can you We've got
a few minutes when we come back. Would you finish that? Absolutely?
All right? I love that.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
This is the Tremor Chary Show on the Valleys Power.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Talk Your in depth now was I like what you're
saying and the purity of it.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
Yeah, sorry for the soliloquy, but I think that I
think you know your listeners are feeling this too. One
of the reasons everyone loves sports is you see those stories.
The team gives individuals opportunities to grow. They're the you know,
the personal redemption and comeback stories. But ultimately, the common
denominator in all of it is life. Lessons are taught
(32:44):
through sports, and the most fundamental lesson any of us
who played sports or have been involved in sports have
learned is that when you're part of a team and
you sacrifice for the good of the team, you put
the goals of the team and the overarching mission above
your temporary personal priorities. You never regret it. There's always
(33:07):
something greater that comes of it. You know that old quote,
it's amazing what you can accomplish when no one cares.
Who gets the credit. Well, now it's not just I
want my credit, it's I want to get paid before
I ever do anything. I'm going to take my ball
and go elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Coach needs to take you and sit down in the
living room and give that speech right there. But it
is a Yeah, it is about making some but it's
it's not the whole point of it.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
And I think, you know, ultimately, what's what we've lost
is the strength of that connection between fan and program, fan,
enfranchise fan and player, because it's distasteful when what you
loved about it is eroded and you get these other
things that it's all about me, me, me, all this.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
The tree agency do that to baseball, where teams would
be you know, players would be.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
There for a decade. Absolutely, it did right that connection
to this and we've seen the results. And now you know,
free agency has come to college sports because of transfer
portal and nil and revenue sharing. If there's a cap
on it, you know, consistently over time, and they have
some more consistency across the board. I do think there'll
be a time where things settle in, but for now,
(34:17):
you know, you can't flip the whole world upside down
and tell people just deal with it. I understand why
some people are like, oh, it just doesn't feel the
same any.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Well, they call it the Wild wah West. At least
in the Wild wah West they had a sheriff.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
Who's the sheriff?
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Do we have any sheriffs?
Speaker 6 (34:30):
So it makes the job of someone like Matt ans Harder, right,
and he is an old school coach, and I think
the culture that he's building there, the way he's leading,
is more like it used to be. And it's going
to be fun to see how much success he can
have by say, yeah, you know, there is an NIL
component here, there's revenue sharing. I understand the portals there,
(34:52):
but if you're part of this program, these are the
things you're going to care about. And we're in this together.
We're a family. We have a group mission that supersedes
how you're feeling today. And I think, you know, if
he's able to hold to that and build that kind
of toughness and focus and really a reflection of who
we are in the Valley, as he says, and the
athletic director says, and I think some really good days
(35:13):
are ahead for the Bulldogs. Hopefully Saturday night is one
of them.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
The insistent Trevor Jerry Show on the Valley's Power Dog
Backing him with all the billions dollars, is the is
the Antichrist? Now, that's not what I'm saying. That podcaster
was asking Peter TiAl about, hey, and all your technology,
you know, like a law mushuse rockets up, Peter Till,
PayPal now palint big technology, military be able to like
track you down to see if you have a quarter
(00:22):
in your pocket or not walking across a parking lot.
I d you tell everybody what the mascot of the
high school you went to was. That kind of stuff.
I was talking about it a few a few days
ago about who backed jd. Vance. Well, yeah, Peter Till
took him down tomorrow Largo and said he probably calls
(00:43):
him Don. Yeah, Pete, yeah, Don hey Don, he's not
never Trumper anymore. Jad get in here, Hey, yeah, this
is this is the guy he's telling you about. Military
guy Ohio, Yeah, come on, introduced him to him. That's
well known. Nothing wrong with politicians having backers. You have to,
but it's in our job to go see who's backing who. Yeah, yeah,
(01:07):
it is. So when I spoke about this and talked
about his uh, his rise from poverty to riches, that's
an American story. And I'm not anti President Vice President Vance,
not at all, not saying this. I'm saying, we're looking
into the backer here, and even if he wasn't involved
with Vance, I would still be saying, this is an
(01:28):
interesting guy to look into here, the billionaire, and I
a little more curious. So I decided to go, look
at you be doing that job. Actually, you wouldn't do
that because you are No. I am, I am. I
looked into it, and I'm God.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
You should be doing that job.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I should have to be doing it.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I know I did look into it. I did my job,
and boy, I tell you, I went to the library
and poured through old newspapers in the microfilm room. Those
were the days, right, I remember those days. But no,
I went onto al Gore's WWW and found something interesting
(02:10):
here it is. It's an article at the Times dot
com by Luisa Clarence Smith and it said why the
tech gods of Silicon Valley have turned to Christianity? And
I said, well, I think I need to look into that.
What are they talking about? Because it was under a
search of Peter Till that this article came up, so
(02:31):
I started reading it. They said, there's been a revival
of interest in Christianity in Silicon Valley. Churches in San
Francisco are reporting swelling congregations. Wasn't it. Wow? Okay, I
hadn't heard about that revival. I've heard about some down
in southern California where like record amount of people were baptized.
They said, the interest in Christianity has been prompted in
large part by the question raised by the development and
(02:53):
use of AI. And at that point I went, Hmm,
sounds weird. I'm interested. Me let me go see this
weirdness here. And I kept an open mind to see
what they were talking about. And they said, some influential
entrepreneurs choosing to discuss their faith openly. Peter Till, co
founder of PayPal and Palantar, did a sold out series
(03:17):
of lectures starting next month on the Biblical Antichrist. Wow.
Now triple interested. What is going on here? You know
the guy that would, as you heard the podcaster, ask
everything that you've put together, it could get in here
and develop something like that. Let's listen to it again here.
(03:38):
Now that you know that Peter Till's going to be
start talking about the Antichrist.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
You're an investor in Ai, you're deeply invested in palanteer,
in military technology and technologies of surveillance and technologies of
warfare and so on. Right, it just seems to me
that when you tell me a story about the Antichrist
coming to power and using the fear of technico logical
change to sort of impose order on the world, I
(04:03):
feel like that Antichrist would be maybe be using the
tools that you think you are that you were building.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
All right, yeah, we think that, right, that kind of
technology trackability no matter where you are around the planet.
But wouldn't it kind of be easy to go No, No,
I'm not involved with Antichrist stuff. Listen to how long
the pause when he.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Said accidentally hastens his or her arrival. They're all they
are all these different scenario. I obviously don't think that
that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Okay, you're not the Antichrist, And in this podcaster said
I'm not saying you are the Antichrist. I'm not saying
that either. I'm saying I'm finding it rather interesting that
he is going to be holding sold out lectures next month.
They said it's called Act seventeen collective, that's the organization
(04:59):
Act stand for Ignore Edging Christ in Technology and Society,
and it was founded last year by a startup executive
and the wife of a partner of Peter Till's fund,
which sells autonomous weapons systems for military use. But he's warning.
Peter Till's warning of a one world totalitarian state. He's
(05:20):
been talking about the Antichrist. He warned about the emergence
of an individual or system that could exploit fears a
global catasrophe driven by AI to enforce a one world
totalitarian state that undermines human freedom. He said, if you're
the political solution to AI risk would be a push
for a one world government. I intensely kind of said
(05:42):
that real quick, just to blur over. I'm going to
go back and let you hear what you just heard
and make sure you heard it. He being Peter Till,
feared the political solution the AI risk would be a
push for a one world government, the fears driven by
(06:04):
AI to enforce a one world state that undermines human freedom.
All right, they said, this congregation at this church where
Acts seventeen, that's the group's name. Acts seventeen has gone
from three hundred to eight hundred, and they say Peter
(06:27):
Till has helped to normalize Christianity. All right, I'm gonna
now let you hear this man's words. I listened to
an hour of an interview that he did with this podcaster,
and he was asked about the how the world would submit.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
I'm just interested in how you get to will a
world willing to submit to permanent authoritarian rule will.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
But but again, there are these different gradations of this
we can describe.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
But come on, Connelle, is is this so preposterous?
Speaker 5 (07:08):
What I've just told you as a broad account of
the stagnation that the entire world has submitted for fifty
years to peace and safetysm, this is a first Thessalonians
five three. The slogan of the Antichrist is peace and
safety because and and we've submitted.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
We've already submitted to it, he's saying over the last
fifty years. But listen to him, say how you we
me you? How we transform ourselves? Nah, Now we don't see.
We gotta we gotta, we gotta listen to what this
man is saying. We we don't. God transforms us, that's
what happens.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
You also need to transform your soul and you need
to transform your your whole self. I think the word
in nature does not occur once in the Old Testament,
and so uh, you know, if you if you you know,
and that there is you know, there is a word
in which a sense in which the way I understand
you know, the you know, the Judeo Christian inspiration is
(08:09):
it is it is, it is. It is about transcending nature.
It is about overcoming things. And you know, and the
closest thing you can say to nature is that people
are fallen and that that's the natural thing. In a
Christian sense is that you're messed up.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yeah, we're sinful, We're in need of forgiveness. Listen, how
you can't answer this question?
Speaker 5 (08:33):
You know, there's some ways that you know, with God's help,
you are supposed to transcend that and overcome that. From
a Christian point of view, these people are not ambitious enough.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
What is the Antichrist?
Speaker 5 (08:43):
How much time do we have?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
We've got as long as much time as you have
to talk about the Antichrist?
Speaker 5 (08:50):
All right, Well, I have a but no, I think, uh,
I think there's always a question, you know, how how
do we articulate you know, some of these existential risks
some of the challenges we have. And because I would
say the political solution, the default political solution people have
(09:17):
for for all these existential risks is one world governance.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Again, I'm just playing you the words of the moneybacker
of the Vice President of the United States of America.
Not that Vice President Advance does everything this man tells
him to do. He's not beholden to him. Well, we
don't know how long the contract would say. Anyhow, here
he is stating, and he's not stating this, he's talking
about the people that do want a one world government.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
You know, what do we do about AI? And we
need global compute governance. We need, you know, a one
world government to control all the computer's log every single
key stroke to make sure people don't program a dangerous AI.
And I've been wondering if that's sort of a you know,
going from the frying pan into the fire. And so
(10:07):
the atheist philosophical framing is one world or None. That
was a short film that was put out by the
Federation of American Scientists in the late forties. Starts with
the nuclear bomb blowing up the world, and obviously you
need a one world government to stop it. One world
or none, and the Christian framing, which in some ways
(10:30):
the same question is Antichrist or armageddon?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
All right, he says a lot. You have to really
listen in very closely to try and even figure out
what he really said. I'm picking up on the fact
that he's talking about it will be a fear, fear fear,
that's how he's talking about because he's asked, how does
the Antichrist take over the world?
Speaker 5 (10:55):
How does the Antichrist take over the world. He gives
these demonic, hypnotic speeches and people just fall for it,
and so it's this plot hole, it's.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
This demonium, and it's totally it's implausible.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
It's a very implausible plot hole, right, But I think
we have an answer to this plot hole. The way
the Antichrist would take over the world is you talk
about armageddon NonStop. In our world. The thing that has
political resonance is the opposite. It is it is the
thing that has political resonances. We need to stop science.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Stop science. Hmm. Let's go back in here. When he
was asked this.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Wouldn't the Antichrist be like, great, you know, we're not
going to have any more technological progress. But I really
like what Palanteer has done so far, Right, Isn't that
Isn't that a concern? Wouldn't that be the you know,
the irony of history would be that the man publicly
worrying about the Antichrist accidentally hastens his or her arrival.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
H They're all Look, they're all these different scenario. I
obviously don't think that that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Okay, let me sweep all this together if I can.
I'm still trying to make sense of where it's all
headed here. But we have a news article about Christianity
surging in the Bay Area with all these technology people.
Peter till is giving speeches on the sermons or whatever
he's doing, holding events about the Antichrist. This guy's asking
(12:29):
him about are you putting together the kind of things
that could bring an Antichrist into be with all the
technology and the power that you're using here? And you
heard his words and what he stated, But don't we
have to really pay attention to these next statements here?
Let me ask you real quick, director Ryan Nigel, does
God control history? He nodded, yes, Yes, I would answer
(12:53):
that quickly as well.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Do you think God is in control of history.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
I man, this is again like we I think that
I think there's always room for human freedom and human choice.
These things are, you know, or at least where we
are today, these things are you know, they're they're they're
(13:21):
not you know, they're not absolutely predetermined one way or another.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Let me remind you when the Disciples asked Jesus about
the end times. Jesus is flume. I call fum first
words out of mouth, woom first words. Be careful that
nobody deceives you. Many will come in my name saying
I am Christ. They're going to mislead many and to
(13:47):
recap a guy with billions, with a business attracting people
with technology. It's funded the guy next in line to
be the president. And he's telling us at fearing AI,
I guess will lead to a one world government. And
he say this in church, No, I fear it. Be careful.
That's that's not my words.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
This is the Trevor Terry Show on The Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You hate to say this after what happened yesterday in Minnesota.
Nobody got shot, nobody got hurt here, But this is
the your Central Valley dot Com. Just a few hours ago,
Elementary school in Freside placed on lockdown follow a report
of a suspect on campus. Wilson Wilson Elementary School, Ashlin
and Hughes lockdown around one fifty report of a suspect
on campus believed to be carrying a Firearmed parents were
(14:34):
seen entering the campus. Police opened the gates for them.
No further information been provided by Fresnel police on this.
I'm just hearing in my headphone. A kid was arrested
twenty two minutes ago. What sixth grader? Did he have
(14:55):
a weapon? An armed sixth grader? You're you're okay? Well
that's up to the minute update there. Thank you appreciate that. Well, wow,
all right? Did he buy it in an alley? Sure
could have done that. I'm gonna guess maybe it came
(15:16):
from a home. It actually made me feel a little
bit better about society if it came from my home
and they didn't. Kid didn't buy it in the alley.
But that's an issue, and that's a problem I guess
they'll be. We'll just leave it at that. We'll see
what the information and details are on that one. Whoo
all right, uh, Peter Tiel, they're talking about AI and
(15:39):
the the oncoming. We're in such early stages of this.
We are in like nineteen late nineteen ninety three. Oh
you got an email?
Speaker 6 (15:48):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I'll find out in a few years when I go
down to office depot and get my AOL disc and
get knocked off online because call waiting happened and I
you know, we'd all be on the dialogue thing. You
couldn't be on the phone in the Internet at the
same time. Let me email you a picture. All right,
I'm gonna go to bed. I'll send an alarm for yours.
Get up and it'll print out. Yeah. Uh, that's kind
(16:12):
of the stage we are with AI right now. Yeah,
there's some cool fun things and funny laughs and wow,
that looks so real. How would you know? Of the deference?
But they're not just building big power centers to power this.
You hear the money that President Trump is talking about
that's coming in for AI. They're not doing it so
(16:35):
that we're going to be entertained. There's way way more
to this. But right now, just in the opening innings here,
parents are suing open AI said chat GPT help their
sun commits, say gave him advice on how to tie
a knot. They said he got around the program by
(16:58):
asking for a fictional story that he was is how
I guess they they got around that all the conversations
weren't all suicide related. The dad said they got in
and found out everything that he had been talking about
the conversations. He said, it was everything under the sun.
He said, I want to leave my noose in my
(17:19):
room so somebody finds it and tries to stop me.
He wrote. Chat GPT said, please don't leave the news out.
Let's make this space the first place where someone actually
sees you. Wow, guys see Uh well, maybe I guess
what it's doing is sweeping everything up around the world,
and is it going into the dark web and sweeping
(17:42):
into that as well. A man accidentally poisoned himself with
bromide after taking chat gpt advice. And in other news,
a woman has announced her engagement to AI chatbot after
a five month romance. So we're gonna have all different
kind of stories. We have no idea where this is
going to lead us to.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
This is the Trevor Cherry Show on The Valley's Power Talk.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
So glad that he's here. Paul Leffler, the voice of
President State Athletics.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Welcome in almost kind of like you were singing there.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I almost was there to the whorrest in Jesus, baby'd
be speaking of talent. Have you been swimming in the lake.
This is the kind of weather I would think it'd
be the best time to jump in a lake.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
I was out there last week. I didn't make it
this week, but last week the water was still nice
and warm.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Kill everybody where you go and what you do. They're
like what lake.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Lakes right outside of Presno, right, I mean it's it's
an easy drive and early in the morning at sunrise,
you gets see that sun peeking up over the mountains
illuminating the water. You might see a rattlesnake. You might not.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
You might get a leech on your thigh. You know,
it's worth it.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
It's it's you know, it's a good way to start
a day. I'll say that.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I bet it's a wake. There's no there's no sleepy
feel left after you do that, right, what's that?
Speaker 6 (19:03):
You feel refreshed? You know? It gets your lungs going
a little bit. You know.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I have heard enough stories that people that do stuff
like that that I can now almost feel what it
might feel like Alma, yeah, Alma. I remember Lake Isabella though,
jumping in up there way too early in the season
as I was a teenager from Ridgecrest going up there.
Oh sure, that was like no, that was like not fun.
(19:27):
Shocked to the body. I don't know what that temperature was.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
But you're just ahead of your told, you know. Now
cold plunge is the big thing. You're just ahead of
your time.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Have you seen those daredevils off those cliffs that go
through the holes in the ice?
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Oh no, I haven't. I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
It makes my knees just watching it. I feel them
like when I was on top of the Empire State Building,
that same sensation in my knees, that weak feel. Yeah,
well imagine, well, Paul, sometimes when you're I guess, willing
to go play anybody, you face some major opponents. They
saw one in Kansas. They you know, a big opponent Perdue,
(20:02):
and that two years ago had momentum on the side.
I guess, how's it not to look at it as deflating.
It would have just been you roll the dice sometimes
with that with that that mission, right.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Yeah, and it's about matchups. Trevor and I think, you know,
anybody that really knows football knows why the quarterbacks get
paid the big bucks. You know, And that's true at
the NFL level. It's true at the college level now
that they let people get paid. There was an article
last week that said, you know, the going rate for
a Power conference quarterback is like one to three million
dollars Resno State might pay its whole team, you know
(20:38):
that total. And Jalen Daniels, the quarterback they ran into
for Kansas, couldn't have played much better than he did
a sixth year yearleven year, but polished, comfortable, composed, They
never rattled him. He had a masterful game. And I
think Kansas, if they keep him healthy's gonna win a
lot of games this year, and that loss may be
seen a little differently down the road. We'll see. That's
(20:58):
if he stays healthy. And you know, on the other side,
you had a bulldog making his first started quarterback and
he wants some of those plays back. And so this Saturday, EJ.
Warner gets to play at Valley Children Stadium for the
first time, hopefully a sold out crowd. You know, the
Valley filled that stadium six times last year, six times
the year before. It led the non power schools and
(21:19):
attendance nationally two years in a row. So it's a
chance at a three peat this year, and Saturday is
the first chance for the Red Wave to show up
and create that imposing environment.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I want to go back to EJ. Warner, but before
I Joe Biden forget, I want to tell all you guys,
and I told I listened from the very start up
until the very end when I was too sad, and
that whole everything before the game started, I'm just going
to say, like them being at the casino, you guys
(21:48):
be in there. Tim from Fox TV, Yeah, coming on,
and you all sounded like you were in the same room.
You weren't over talking, which if that's difficult to do
for those that do not know, like you and I
have eye contact right now, we can almost see when
the body's gonna talk. It sounded like CBS Radio Sports
covering the Cotton Bowl. It was. It was flawless. And
(22:08):
everybody that ran the audio, because you know, I'm an
audio kind of, I know, it just sounded smooth, sposed
to be flawless. It just sounded great.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
So until the game, well, well the.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Score, hey, it was seven to seven. At one point,
I was like, there was they scored, Okay, we scored,
let's keep this up, let's go boy. That was a
ramp up and then little air came out of the balloon.
But let me ask you, I want to go back
to EJ. Warner.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Uh, he's a veterer and he's faced pressure for years
and he didn't perform up what people thought. But coach
in did not replace him. I know there was some
probably some questioning of Okay, we're down this much, let's
give the next guy a shot. But that's a message.
I guess you're you're gonna be my guy.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
Well for now, right. I think he probably knew that
if he brought someone else in late in the game,
it would just invite the questions or you know, do.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
We have a quarterback controversy after game one?
Speaker 6 (23:03):
Right? Pat Hill is still stung by that term, and
he was sitting next to me and I understand, you know,
that's the quarterback that they've chosen to be the leader.
It was a close competition. I still won't be surprised
if the others get a chance to play at some point,
but I want I think they wanted EJ. To get
as much experience with his teammates as possible, and even
when the game looked like it was out of hand,
(23:25):
those reps are valuable at live game speed against that
kind of competition. It's almost like, you know, the best
practice for this week was toward the end of that
game last week. Yeah, you can never really replicate and
practice what you're seeing, especially against those opponents. Because keep
in mind, you know, Kansas, if the new revenue sharing
policy in college sports, Kansas is going to pay that
(23:47):
roster twenty million dollars this year, right, I mean that's
there's a discrepancy here in the resources one school has
versus the other.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
We are to the rich and not rich leagues, aren't
we We talked about it few years ago or.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
So spoiled Trevor because the Bulldogs forever have been the
team that they don't care about, that they're gonna go
beat you anyway, right, and they've done it so many times.
So I know fans expectations are high, and you want
them to be high. And this week, you know, this
is a tougher game than people realize. Georgia Southern one
eight games. Last year they almost beat Boise with one
of the best teams Boise States ever had. And you know,
(24:22):
they've got a veteran coach in Clay Hilton, who led
USC to a record that I think the Trojan fans
would take back. Now, a guy's been around the game forever, well,
coached team, a lot of talent.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
So Georgia's southern coach, he used to be at USC.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
He was. Yeah, Clay Helton beat Fresno State twice. This
is gonna be a good game. It's gonna be a
tough game. And if Fresno State doesn't improve from that
effort last week, if they aren't sharper, if they don't
cut down on penalties, if they aren't more disciplined, if
they don't have better decision making from the quarterback, if
the defense isn't more physical and more consistent, Bulldogs could
(24:58):
easily be owing to So this is a it's a
big game for them, they know it, and it's a
big game for the Red Wave to show up and
give them that support and prove once again that this
is who Fresno State is, this is who the Valley is.
And you know, this whole season is going to be
a little bit of a ramp up to this new
PAC twelve, and you know, every day that goes by,
we're getting a little clearer picture of what the PAC
(25:19):
twelve is going to be like. There may still be
some other teams coming in eventually, but the television package
is coming into view, right. CBS was the first one.
Now the CW is on board. I think there's still
more to come with that. We're learning more about the
PAC twelve network and some of the streaming opportunities that
are going to be there. There's a lot of excitement coming.
(25:40):
But what happens on the field this year, I think,
is what's really going to wet people's appetites.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Wow, yeah, let's uh the unis that was a big
deal thereby won't that back to the car days? I am,
I wasn't around them. That's what we're talking about, right, Yeah.
Did you like the look?
Speaker 6 (25:57):
I did? Yeah? I thought it looked good. And I
just I think the hard thing was I'm sitting next
to Pat Hill and Cam worel Well, Cam's on the field,
but Cam wore that helmet and hit people really hard
in that helmet. And I think the defense is going
to be a really good defense this year and going
to be a physical defense didn't live up to its
(26:19):
potential in that game against Kansas and has a message
to send against Georgia Southern Saturday night, and I think
these players are going to be really motivated. We'll hear
from one of them tonight on the coaches show out
at the point. We'll be there from five thirty to
six thirty, and we have some prizes to give away.
But cam Broca, one of the team captains, senior safety
from right here in the valley, played at Buchanan heih
and Fresno City College. He's going to be out there
(26:40):
with us along with coach Enz tonight.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
What percentage, I don't know. If you have a number,
you can just ballpark it new from last year, all
the new names that you've had to believe.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
It's forty nine new players. So that's almost half the
entire team.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Let's talk about we're talking about the rich league, in
the not rich leagues. You're talking about that Kansas team.
He's a twenty million dollar price tag on it, and
we're maxing out at three basically at all Park. Okay,
those are kind of the parameters. But when you think
back to the old days, and I mean, what four
years ago. Yeah right, you had a team like here,
(27:16):
a new coach. Almost half the players are new. If
you were zero and two or zero and four an
end of the season maybe you know, wherever not a
great you learn and you grow, they become you know,
especially when become sophomore, junior, they learn and grow together
as a team. Now, you know, if you're not winning,
(27:37):
you know, a star player and be like I'm out
of here, bam, it kind of takes away that, Hey
we were I remember when Troy Akman with the Cowboys.
I think they won one game of first year. A
few years later they won the Super Bowl. Yeah, you
know that kind of mentality of a new coach getting
to grow the team. It takes that a little. It's
a big hit, there, isn't it. Oh Am? I thinking
(27:57):
right on that sports guy.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
And even if you do win, you may lose your
top talent anyway because other programs can pay him more.
That's it's created a completely different We need to drill
for oil right now in this valley, right right here.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
We need to have the football players dedicate some time
out there. We'll have millions slowing in man baby drill. Yes,
that's right.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
There was some news from Fresno State today. And you know,
I know a lot of Bulldog fans. They've had season
tickets forever and they have exactly the spot where they
want to sit, and it's kind of a legacy and
they want to support the program. And maybe some of
them see this deal and they say, well, why can't
I have that deal with what I already have? But
(28:39):
Presno State a new idea. It's really creative. Kind of
takes me back to the heyday of the Bulldog Foundation
when they would do their annual fund drives. To me,
I mean, the reason we have the facilities at Fresno
State that are there is that this was a grassroots effort.
The community built that stadium, the community built the baseball park,
and the Bulldog Foundation fund drives were where everybody is.
(29:00):
You know, it's multi level marketing. It's this grassroots thing.
You're calling all your friends getting them to support the program.
And part of that, well you're going to get tickets
to all these sports too. So it's got an element
of that. This new initiative. I don't know if you
heard about it today, you did.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
The Bulldog director Ryan Nigel gets credit for handing me this.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Yes, so there you go. So it's the price was
ninety nine dollars, but until kickoff on Saturday, they're doing
it for seventy four bucks. I almost couldn't believe it
when I read all the details. So for seventy four dollars,
you can actually go to any Fresno State home game
in any sport all year long.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
That's a that's a that's a backstage Beyonce pass. He
just rolled right through anything you want to go to. Yeah,
I just say, Shakira, excuse me.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
So I mean that that's a pretty good deal that
would make I guess you'd have to give it to
him now so they wouldn't miss any it's being early Christmas. Yeah,
but seventy four bucks. I mean you could somebody right now,
you know.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
That somebody right now has somebody has a birthday coming
up next week, and they went go, that's the ticket.
They're a big fan. They would love that, and it
only costs me seventy four I'm out the door, bam.
Speaker 6 (30:06):
And I don't know if they're doing this or not,
but you'd be kind of cool as if they had
a competition with that to see who can go to
the most. Because I bet you could get it down
that on the dollar an event.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Start that on the air.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Then if you did football, basketball, women.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Put it up on YouTube and the film it and
you'll you'll I'll promote it, you'll promote it. We'll get
everybody watching.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Them, baseball, softball, equestrian, tennis, whatever.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
I think he just raised his hand in there, ying
like polo or are you raising your hand? He was diving.
He wasn't raising his hand.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
But you could make it to seventy four home events
this year if you tried really hard, well, they couldn't
out do you. Well, I only do the three sports.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I might well other events attributed to sports and veterans,
World War two in Vietnam, and the and the church
and your family.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, you out doing man. I can guarantee that. I
got one more question for you. Now that we're in
this new world where they can act like in a
players and get and get money, can the university say, hey,
we're going to sign you, but you're going to give
us a two year commitment. You can't go to the portal.
Can they lock them in like that?
Speaker 6 (31:10):
You know, that's what's going to be interesting if some
things like that get standardized I know a lot of
people are talking about it, and if a player were
to agree to that, sure, I think you're also though,
if those deals start happening, there's going to be this
pushback from the player side, right, There's going to be
somebody who signs that wants to get out of the
(31:31):
Oh my word is going to be like the pros.
It's going to take some time before all the dust
settles on this. But you know, I would love to
see it get back to the purity of the sport.
And you know, and that for me, I don't know
about you, Trevor, and I know I don't have a limited,
unlimitless soapbox here to keep blabbing. But what everyone loves
(31:52):
about sports is that you see the power of when
people put their own priorities aside for this greater priority
of a team, that you can do exponentially more.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I want you to say more. I know you get
to get to the point later, can you We've got
a few minutes when we come back. Would you finish that? Absolutely?
All right? I love that.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
This is the Tremor Chary Show on the Valleys Power.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Talk Your in depth now was I like what you're
saying and the purity of it.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
Yeah, sorry for the soliloquy, but I think that I
think you know your listeners are feeling this too. One
of the reasons everyone loves sports is you see those stories.
The team gives individuals opportunities to grow. They're the you know,
the personal redemption and comeback stories. But ultimately, the common
denominator in all of it is life. Lessons are taught
(32:44):
through sports, and the most fundamental lesson any of us
who played sports or have been involved in sports have
learned is that when you're part of a team and
you sacrifice for the good of the team, you put
the goals of the team and the overarching mission above
your temporary personal priorities. You never regret it. There's always
(33:07):
something greater that comes of it. You know that old quote,
it's amazing what you can accomplish when no one cares.
Who gets the credit. Well, now it's not just I
want my credit, it's I want to get paid before
I ever do anything. I'm going to take my ball
and go elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Coach needs to take you and sit down in the
living room and give that speech right there. But it
is a Yeah, it is about making some but it's
it's not the whole point of it.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
And I think, you know, ultimately, what's what we've lost
is the strength of that connection between fan and program, fan,
enfranchise fan and player, because it's distasteful when what you
loved about it is eroded and you get these other
things that it's all about me, me, me, all this.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
The tree agency do that to baseball, where teams would
be you know, players would be.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
There for a decade. Absolutely, it did right that connection
to this and we've seen the results. And now you know,
free agency has come to college sports because of transfer
portal and nil and revenue sharing. If there's a cap
on it, you know, consistently over time, and they have
some more consistency across the board. I do think there'll
be a time where things settle in, but for now,
(34:17):
you know, you can't flip the whole world upside down
and tell people just deal with it. I understand why
some people are like, oh, it just doesn't feel the
same any.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Well, they call it the Wild wah West. At least
in the Wild wah West they had a sheriff.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
Who's the sheriff?
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Do we have any sheriffs?
Speaker 6 (34:30):
So it makes the job of someone like Matt ans Harder, right,
and he is an old school coach, and I think
the culture that he's building there, the way he's leading,
is more like it used to be. And it's going
to be fun to see how much success he can
have by say, yeah, you know, there is an NIL
component here, there's revenue sharing. I understand the portals there,
(34:52):
but if you're part of this program, these are the
things you're going to care about. And we're in this together.
We're a family. We have a group mission that supersedes
how you're feeling today. And I think, you know, if
he's able to hold to that and build that kind
of toughness and focus and really a reflection of who
we are in the Valley, as he says, and the
athletic director says, and I think some really good days
(35:13):
are ahead for the Bulldogs. Hopefully Saturday night is one
of them.
