Speaker 1 (00:00):
This Democrat polster. He was talking about the well, the
gender gap and the twenty year old white dudes are
now more right wing than seventy five year old white dudes. Interesting,
young males going conservative. And I got to say I
had a rather dismal feeling of the future based upon

(00:22):
the younger generation. And this is a very good sign
that I'm going to play some more audio here where
they're talking about how this is pulling around the world
as well. So that's really good news. And you can't
fight back that inner urge to be who you are,
isn't that what the left says? Well, men have an
inner urge. That's why bridges were built and skyscrapers were built,

(00:45):
and they were protected against wooly mammos because there were
guys with real big forearms that could take that piece
of wood that they I don't know if they had
iron or chiseled in the end of some kind of
animal sharp bone in the end to fight back. In
the early early early days, it's in us. I was

(01:06):
watching a segment of Joe Rogan where they were talking
about domesticated pigs on a pig farm, you release it
back out into the wild. Its hair gets really thick,
they'll even grow the antler things that will they will
adapt back to the wild. And I think that's what
we're seeing right here with men in America and around

(01:28):
the world. The sissification of America now has some fight back.
And when I say that, it means there are obviously males.
Some of them fake it, but there are some that
just had their traits are more effeminate. Doesn't mean you're

(01:48):
not a dude. And I don't mean that a dude
that you might go, well, he doesn't look all manly. No,
But it's what's inside a person. That's what we're talking
about here. And this is really good news to see
and to hear. This Democrat pollster David Shore, he was
on The Ezra Clines Show, a podcast they do.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
I didn't watch it.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I just saw the audio clip, but I had to
go look who, look up who Ezra Cline was, and
he's a New York Times columnist.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
And then lo and behold.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
A few stories later in my prep I see him
on with Bill Maher. Ezra Cline was on with Bill
mar talking about the demise of California. And he's a Democrat.
So you have those that obviously see that insanity has
seeped into the left, and they're saying something about it.
Young white men. They went through the whole school telling

(02:40):
them that they're less important, and I just assumed that
they had their minds. I guess, I guess I shouldn't
have thought that way. This doesn't mean that every young
person is not a radical leftist Marxist, but I think
it's been overplayed by social media, the news, maybe even
this talk show, to the extent that they're out on

(03:00):
the streets and I go, I know a few album
that aren't that way. Well, it seems like it's more
than a few album. And I'll give a lot of
credit to the example like a Turning Point USA. A
lot of credit to the local people here Turning Point
USA that worked at Fresno State. Been a lot of
young people, and I always tell them that what they

(03:21):
do is a lot more daring than what I do.
You're an old white guy doing a talk showing a
conservative thing. They expect that that's what you're supposed to do.
You know in college campus that no, that's not how
you're supposed supposed to do. So, Yeah, they've been out
on the front line and behind enemy lines here in California.
Listen to this Democrat polster talk about the gender gap here.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
This is to me the scariest chart in this entire presentation.
And again, you know something I'm very surprised by. But
what's crazy is if you look at people who are
under the age of thirty, the gender gap has exploded.
If you look at eighteen year olds, eighteen year old,
we're twenty three percentage points more likely to support you,
Donald Trump than eighteen year old women, which is just

(04:05):
completely unprecedented in American politics.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, good news. And the other good news this Democrat
Polster was talking about on this Klein Guy show, Klin Guy,
the New York Times columnists Cling Guy show here. But
are you talking about this happening around the world.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Doth What's interesting is that this is happening in other
countries as well. Obviously different countries have different political systems,
but I've seen similar patterns in Canada, in the UK,
in Norway. There's a lot of research you know, to
do here, but it's still very striking. A lot of
people talk about the democratic young men problem, and I
think it's still somehow underrated because the actual numbers are

(04:45):
just a lot worse than people think.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
That would be. The actual numbers are way better than
I thought.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Not what he wore.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
He's coming from, of course, Democrat polster site here. John
Joel Pollock at Breitbart had a great headline blue State's Blue.
He's not the governor Comma, but he plays one on TV.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
That's funny.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
And then he goes enlist everything that he doesn't have
to do. Wildfires, lost jobs, drought, state public health care system,
metic care nearly insolvent, homelessness, crimes, roads and disrepair, education
system failing the state's children, but he.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Plays one on TV.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
He may notice the decorative brick going on the side
of Highway forty one. Yeah, it's expanding now. It took
a little stall there for a while, but the back
to work. Does it look nice? Yeah? Why is it there? Well,
I learned that it's so that sparks and all don't
calls wild gat fires and along the way, and I thought, now,
those are the homeless doing encampments in the summer.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
That's what does that.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
But yeah, we got the decorative brick going in, but
we can't even cut the weeds back. Why don't you
you're worried about sparks some cars. That's what it's for,
is what it was stated. Well, maybe you get rid
of the wiz and you do. Anyhow, that's it's California.
Bill Maher was talking about California Democrats losing seats and

(06:10):
he uses the actual words. Listen here, guys, this isn't
coming from Joe Pollock or Breitbart or Hannity or Glenn
Beck or anybody like that. This is again Bill Maher.
I know they're calling him a coward now the left
is calling him a coward.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
But California is projected to lose three seats. New York
two also going to lose a seat. Minnesota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Illinois,
all blue states. Who's getting these Texas, Florida, Idaho and Utah.
I mean this looks like game over.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, I remember fifteen now twenty years let me think
is had to be fifteen years ago, actually thirteen. Anyhow,
a friend of mine started a business in California and
his words was that it's almost as if they don't
want you to because they put so many roadblocks and
so many irregulations, and said, you just get so frustrated

(07:02):
and discouraged. It's one of the most difficult things I've
ever dealt with in my life. He went ahead and
got it all going and became successful. But listen to
Bill Mahert here, and I guess he had some sign
up during his show that he can't get his solar
on his house. He's been trying, and the hell they
want everybody to go right California, go solar right.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
Boxes and regulation. I certainly been screaming about it forever.
I did three years with a sign here that said,
how long is it going to take me to get
my solar hooked up? Three years talking about it on
television in this state, you couldn't do it. This state
has almost four hundred thousand regulations. I just put in
a new roof because the fire. I thought, oh, let's

(07:42):
got a roof that's not going to burn up. Two inspections.
Why are you inspecting my roof? It's my roof.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
If it falls on me, that's my problem.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Again, these are democrats saying these kinds of things and
clapping out.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
What are you going to do about it? Though it's like.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Newsom, well, yes, it's unfair for a boy to play
in a girl's like, but what are you going to
do nothing. I wonder what they're by clapping yes, that's right.
Will they actually vote for a Republican that can change it?

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah? Right. Listen to the taxes.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
And we're tax more than any other state. People are
leaving these kind of states for places where they're not
led to feel the heavy breath of government on them.
It's just it's not that hard for Democrats to understand this,
but they seem to be incapable of doing anything about it.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Listen, I could sit here and I can talk about
all the issues and problems and quote conservatives and what.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
We're going to do.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
But I take delight in hearing Democrats saying what we
were saying years ago. So what it's about? Didn't we
always say? Nothing changes? We gotta change. We got to
recall what he did and what news did was wrong.
A lot of people worked hard to get the recall.
We got to change it. We got to do something.
Ye friend, this is New York Times columnists Ezra Climb.

(09:05):
When I stumbled upon him on Bill Maher's show, like
this Guy's Everywhere. Listen to him talk about how bad
is it Californe icepeed rail.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
It's a huge disaster, But nobody's ever done anything about it.
If you try to build it again, it would go
the exact same way. I speed rail, Yeah, California's hospeed rail.

Speaker 6 (09:21):
We I think we.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
First passed it in two thousand and eight. I think
they just voted about something about it again. It's it's projective.
Just give up.

Speaker 7 (09:30):
Just just a good idea from Bakersfield to Merced Who
the hell wants to go from Bakersfield to exactly exactly?

Speaker 1 (09:44):
But they're going to take our gas cars away, so
we're gonna need at least to be able to find
some way to get up and down the middle of
the state.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
That's what I've said from the gig.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Oh, that's why they switched it over, because we won't
be able to afford electric vehicles. Here I rid of
all the cars, all the environmental reviews again, here's Ezra.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
Look, this doesn't work if we don't do La to
San Francisco, and they don't have the money to do
La de San Francisco, and they don't have the regulatory
structure to do it. They have been clearing, they started
clearing the rail track through environmental review. The whole point
of high speed rails, it's good for the environment.

Speaker 8 (10:19):
Right.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
They started clearing it through environmental review in twenty twelve.
By the end of twenty twenty four, when I was
fact checking the book, it was almost done.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
I don't even know if they've even done all the
imminent domain that they have to. I don't understand it.
I always go back to hell on wheels, that train
track we built across America right after the Civil War,
And don't we always say, California, we learned that it
didn't work this way, but then they do it again

(10:48):
and it doesn't work, and then they do it again,
and it's just like we call it the California way,
the infection that does not need to spread across America.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
And the thing that bothers me about it and didn't
ge high speed rail is they didn't change it. Right, Okay,
huge failure. Learn something, make it so it won't happen again.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Ezra, That's what we believe. Come on over, say you're
a liberal Republican. At least give them Republican a chance
to come in and do it correctly, to show some
fruits of effective government. That's not my line, that's his line,
and I love that line, and I'm going to steal
that line in the future. Our tax paying money deserves

(11:29):
some fruits of effective government. We take things back to
the counter in fact that this is defective. No, this
is not what we deserve to have something for what
we're spending. And if it's not, we need to turn
it back in.

Speaker 5 (11:48):
You got to offer people the fruits of effective government. Hey,
the places you govern are not advertisements for your governance.

Speaker 6 (11:54):
You are going to lose.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yes, when those came out and you started hearing all
the waste and fraud, how many of you thought in
your mind, man, that's what we should do to California's government,
and then said, well, we should do that to like
the Fresno's government and to the county's government. Let's get
in and see. Hey, guys, they're coming around.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
We need an Elon Musk who would do to California
what he's doing to the government.

Speaker 9 (12:24):
In a sane way.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
I mean, if you have four hundred thousand regulations and
you cannot build a high speed rail that started in
two thousand and eight, you need somebody to come in here.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Who is this person? Who is this person? Who is it?

Speaker 1 (12:44):
I can't We got to have somebody stuff up in California.
Don't we a true leader? You know what a true
leader would do. They would go into all the cities
and say, all right, not a warning. Oh you're illegally camping,
and it's obvious that they're homeless. We that profiling. Yes,
yes it is, that's exactly what it is. We go
in and we say, you're illegally camping. We gave you

(13:06):
two weeks to get into a shelter. Yes it's not
a redone motel, but it's a place where we're going
to give you a cot, a roof over your head
in a camp style place in three squares a day.
And you refused it. So you're going to jail. And
if we we're going to drug test you in jail,
and if you're on anything, we're going to send you
to rehab. It's force rehab. There you go. That's what

(13:28):
we need in California. Somebody that would come in and
do exactly that. Governor Bill Maher, are you going to
go to the White House? Yes, he's going to the
White House to meet President Trump. Could somebody like that win?
Could he win in California? I?

Speaker 2 (13:44):
He said, some?

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Of course I disagree with a lot, but I'll take
seventy percent of agreeing with somebody and disagree with them
thirty percent over disagreeing with somebody ninety nine point seven percent.
Hi here in California, that would be of victory. Now
I could think of a lot more people. Mel Gibson,

(14:06):
he came into to mind. I think somebody's talked about
him doing it, and he said, he's not interested whatsoever.
He's doing the Michelle Obama, I'm not interested in what
James Woods huck Y app that's a good win. I
thought about that one as well. But Mill Maher is
going to go visit the White House. He's going to
go meet President Trump. You know who arranged that, Kid Rock.
We live in such a weird world. Imagine ten years

(14:29):
ago if I said, well, that would have been okay,
pre Trump coming down the escalator, Hey Trump, everything that's
gone through his life, and he's the president for the
second time, and Kid Rock's inviting Bill Maher to come
to the White House.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
What you'd be like?

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Whoa The left is calling Bill Maher though a sellout coward.
Wouldn't it have been miserable during Joe and Commins four
years if you'd have voted your life to their downfall.
Sure we opposed it, and we worked hard to get
Trump back in, but we kept living our lives, didn't we.
I decided not to go to Target or Taco Bell

(15:06):
over their little nas Satan shoe endorser, and I continue
my lifelong ban of bud Light just because I never
drank it. If I ever was going to drink a
beer would be a Corse light.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
So we didn't go crazy like they've done. Do we.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
No, we have it, but they have, and I'm going
to say, as long as we can keep it under control,
I think we got enough young people now in America
to come back so that I think these words areing true.

Speaker 10 (15:34):
I see America not in the setting sun of a
black night of despair. I see America in the crimson
light of a rising sun, fresh from the burning creative
hand of God. I seen great days ahead for men
and women of will and vision. I've never felt more
strongly that America's best days and Democracy's best days lie ahead.

Speaker 9 (16:00):
This is the Treportary show on the Valley's Power Talk.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
I realize why I like shopping in all these and
I set it to an older Asian woman there who
was shopping next to me. When I realized that, I said,
excuse me, I go. Do you enjoy shopping with no music?

Speaker 9 (16:21):
On?

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Ah?

Speaker 1 (16:24):
I cannot stand when, especially early in the morning, when
I will shop where it's not really filled up and
it's you know, seven eleven am on a Saturday morning,
and I'm trying to think what is it I want
to buy? And I hear what is love?

Speaker 2 (16:39):
You know, like quit sah.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
I don't tone it down at least, it's just some
stores are so why do they think we want they
choose what we want to listen to see music? To me,
it puts me in a mood. That's why I think
we listen to music, but.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
We choose that.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Why do you need to be in a grocery store
with them blasting the music? Saying thing of gas stations.
I told the guys at the Valeros, we're up where
I bounce around town. But when I was up there,
I'm like, you guys, realize you got loud speakers playing
a radio station, real loud, and then your gas prompts
start talking and playing jingles and music. I'm like, it's

(17:22):
conflicting sound. It's not a nightclub. I'm just there to
pump my gash. Why do they think we want that?
Why did they think when we're on hold, we don't
want to hear every sixty seconds you will hear to
let you know you're on hold. That's all I need,
one moment, Please want that on hold music? And I

(17:45):
don't know why it's overmodulated all the time, but I
realize I like shopping in all these because it's quiet.
Now you're gonna start paying attention to that, and some
of you, if you're like me, it'll start really getting
on your nerves again. Not a paid not a paid
endorsement from all these, but it almost feels like shopping

(18:07):
forty years ago with prices. I don't know how they
I talked to them on the stock guys. You notice
a lot of the brands off brand, and a lot
of them come from Europe and they buy in huge quantity.
My mom and dad were shopping at one back in
Tennessee and I was like, man, I wish we had
one here. She goes, I mean, look, I think you do. Yeah,

(18:29):
there's two in town. I had no idea, but yeah,
no music shopping. I think they should advertise that The
California Center for Job and the Economy released a report
how Governor podcast net job growth in January was exactly zero.

(18:52):
Texas added twenty seven nine hundred jobs, Florida sixteen thousand,
five hundred. We had the second highest unemployment rate of
all fifty state more than one million Californian's unemployed for
the thirteenth straight month. Hey, I got an idea. I'll
do a podcast. We're only one of five states that
haven't recovered to pre COVID levels. Hey, he did a

(19:14):
good job. Remember spinning the wheel and making all those
color coded charts and making us cut hair outside and
eat outside, then eat inside, then eat outside, then eat inside,
and then school cafeteria kids. No, no, no, go eat outside.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
It's raining, missus, Stevenson.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
I know, but Governor podcasts to be told us we
need to go sit out there.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Who do you think you are?

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Put that mask on and get out in the rain
and say stay healthy, don't forget your code.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
It's cold.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
The proportion of Californians receiving unemployment payment double the national average.
Speaking of money that goes to states, Kentucky gets two
billion in education funding and Brennan on CB she was
on there with Senator Rampaul Love his father, love him,

(20:05):
Love how they stand up to these individuals, and they
do it in such a way because they're highly intelligent.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
But it's so simple. Aren't you worried about the two
billion in education funding?

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Listen to how Senator Paul responded, it's so good.

Speaker 6 (20:21):
Do you have a guarantee that the federal government, federal
taxpayers will still provide two billion in education funding that
seems important to your state? Well, no, what I'd rather
as a guarantee that my kids can read and write
and do math. The amount of dollars.

Speaker 7 (20:37):
Look, the number of dollars has caught up exponentially, and
our scores have gone the other way.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
He sounds like his dad. The older that he's getting
and we're all getting. He's sounding more like his father.
Think of the dining room conversations he sat around that
psorbed as a kid, a teenager, a young man, middle
aged man. I'd rather my kids can read, write, and
do math. Guys, we all possess that wisdom.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
We know that.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
And if you got any Republican in your life going, well,
Trump's done okay, But I don't know about this Apartment
of Education cuts. Go back to the podcast queue. It
up to this point three point thirty three on March
twenty fourth, and just playing.

Speaker 10 (21:19):
This, I propose and would have already started if your
hypothesis is correct, a planned and orderly transferred back to
the states and local communities of functions the federal government
as usurped and which it has proven it is incapable
of operating. And one of the first of those would
be welfare. One of the second would be in the

(21:40):
field of education.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Imagine that. Look at that.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Look at Trump acting just like Ronald Reagan. President Reagan,
President Trump realizing local contro.

Speaker 9 (21:51):
This is the Trevor Cherry Show on the Valley's Power
Talk Box.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Or George Foreman dead at seventy six. He passed away
on Friday, and a lot of people remember him as
really being a preacher. That's what he was after boxing.
He was a great grandfather as well. President Trump had
good things to say about him. George Foreman, that's a
bygone are Mohammad Ali, Joe Fraser, George Foreman, Howard co

(22:20):
Soo at the call. I was more into boxing in
my first twelve years of life than the remaining ones.
That's when it was a big deal, well a little
bit later with Sugar Ray Leonard Roberto Duran. But yeah,
I mean maybe a Tyson one every now and then
I might have watched, I think, But yeah, it's just

(22:43):
really changed, really really changed. But passing away. George Forman
dead at seventy six years old. This video here, and
of course you'll be here in the audio because it's
on the radio of RFK Junior Secretary of Health and
Human Services recognizing World Down Syndrome Day, and it's gonna

(23:06):
touch your heart. It really is here. I mean, I
can talk about cold blooded murderers and no tears hit
by so my hit by a train, I don't have tears,
killed by her husband, I don't have tears. But yesterday
when I was recording this in to a playback on
the show here, it really got me.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
And it's.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
I guess because I went back to the doctor's office
in nineteen ninety six, which I'll tell after we listen
to this ody.

Speaker 11 (23:36):
Let's bring this petage order. Today's World Down Syndrome Day.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
I'm Robert F.

Speaker 11 (23:41):
Kennedy. I am the Secretary of Health and Human Services
and of my wife, Cheryl Hines. We're celebrating with our
beautiful kids and their parents. I get here here, I'm
trying to pretty love these kids. They're incredibly adorable and precious.

Speaker 8 (23:58):
I love him. I am so grateful and amazed that
he took time and it was busy scheduled to spend
time with these children and to show that they really matter.

Speaker 6 (24:12):
These children are such a joy. They bring so much
to your lives. They reach your lives in so many ways.

Speaker 11 (24:19):
To the pregnant mothers expecting a child with Down syndrome,
I would just say, you're in store for an incredible journey.

Speaker 7 (24:26):
Don't be afraid.

Speaker 6 (24:27):
It's a lifeful, just unexpected joy.

Speaker 12 (24:30):
This intifation really is behind individual's disabilities and families, and
really I think understands some of the struggles that we
have and the supports that we need.

Speaker 11 (24:42):
Our jobb here at HHAs is to make sure that
these kids fulfill their entire potential. They're supported by incredible
families and we want to support them.

Speaker 6 (24:53):
We're celebrating World Down Syndrome Day.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
With our friends Seryl Hines, his wife right there, Rka
Junior Good and I couldn't help sit there but think
about I don't, I can't. I don't want to accuse
the country. This art because I can't think of it
right now, but it's one of the Nordic countries over there.
They've talked about how they've eradicated Down syndrome from their
society because they genocide them in the womb. That's what happens.

(25:24):
I think back to nineteen ninety six in La Third
Child on the way, we're in the doctor's office and
they did the amnio synthe I think that's the word,
something like that, where they go in and see what's
you know, make sure everything's going along. And they said, well,
they came back, cut us down, said a chance of
Down syndrome has showed up. And the nurse started into
a conversation about options. And when it sunk into me,

(25:45):
I was like, hold on, I stopped turn their tracks.
I said, stop it. Our baby boy has Down syndrome.
Then I'll have a buddy for life. And I actually,
I you know, we didn't talk about it out loud.
We talked about when I got them a little bit,
but I was like, I actually though internally way more
than we ever discussed. I prepared myself And when Pastor

(26:10):
Andre at Trinity Community Church was in there last was
that last week? Yeah, talking about the class services on
Sunday morning for those with special needs and the joy
of those that have Down syndrome. I remember the Shaw family.
Remember they used to live here. Now they're back in Tennessee.
They used to come in here and sing on the show,
the Shaw Family Band. They're like, I don't know, ten kids,

(26:31):
and the youngest had down syndrome. And when they would
I'd see the videos when he got a little older
there he would go out on stage and sing his
a little song man. I mean, way to go RFK Junior.
And I know there's a lot of people that said
they would oppose him, but I'm impressed with what he's done,

(26:52):
what he's been able to do so far, really good.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
You want to.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Hear how actually insane the dumbing down of America has been.
I saw it studyfines dot org. That's kind of a
cool site if you'd like to go look at that.
Sometimes they got a lot of studies online and they
were talking about you're not imagining it. People are indeed
getting dumber. University of Michigan's annual Monitoring the Future study

(27:24):
used benchmarks across the country. Things not looking good, they said,
even compared to something as recent as the twenty tens,
intelligence markers like basic comprehension, reasoning, and problem solving have
taken a dive, So the average person capacity to process
information use reasoning has fallen since around mid two thousand
and ten. The explanation is that people no longer read

(27:47):
from books or I'll even say magazines. I was saying,
I don't have a magazine in the house. You know,
it's getting ready to cut out one of those notes
where every letter is from a different article and pace
sit down, and you know, and I thought, I don't
have a magazine. Do you have magazines in your house? Excellentation.

(28:09):
We just read little blits of information like social media posts.
And you've actually had college professors in elite schools shock
that students have never graduated from high school, went on
to college, and haven't read a single book.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
They say.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Math and reasoning is on the decline. Share of adults
and high income countries who are unable to use mathematical
reasoning when evaluating simple statements or who struggle to integrate
multiple bits of information from a piece of text has
climbed twenty five percent. I hate to say this, but

(28:48):
if you're seen a younger person get confused with giving
change back.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Change.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
He probably didn't deal with it that much. The cursive
for that's not anybody's fault. It doesn't mean they're dumb.
They just weren't taught. If I was never taught that,
if I was never taught math, I would be the
dumbing down would happen as well. And believe me, I
don't even know how I got into geometry. I just
faked the funk through algebra somehow.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
I was.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
I was in there, like, yeah, I said, anyhow. But
they're all saying social media and the internet and how
we you know, connect with everybody. They said, it's, uh,
it's a change in a relationship between how our brains
and our information and the smartphones and the media changing

(29:38):
and everything so much quicker. Do you think that that
it's been dumbing down? Well I got proof for you.
I can't remember this young lady's name. I quoted her
a few weeks ago. She's on YouTube. She's a conservative,
she's young. She goes out. She went to like an
LGBTQ plus Pride rally, and she had on where she

(30:00):
looked like she had in her rainbow stuff. But she'd
go up and ask questions. They'd be like, huh, what
the you know, the the gotchas. But listen, she went
down on spring break here and she's talking to college
students that have have majors that they're going to be
going into. Listen to this, Listen to this.

Speaker 6 (30:21):
Who did the colonists fight in the Revolutionary War? And
there were? It was I don't know if this is right.
I mean to sound so stupid. Was it the Spanish?

Speaker 9 (30:30):
Wait?

Speaker 6 (30:30):
What are your majors? Business? Biology? Okay, elementary education? Oh?
What shape is the US Pentagon building?

Speaker 11 (30:41):
Do you?

Speaker 6 (30:42):
Isn't it just a square?

Speaker 8 (30:44):
How many US Senators are there? How many amendments are
in the Bill of Rights?

Speaker 6 (30:53):
There's a lot, I know, I know seventeen. Who won
the Civil War? Oh? Shoot it's East or West? Right, Well,
it's the Civil Wars, so it's the civilians versus whoever
was in power. How many justices are on the Supreme Court?

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Justices?

Speaker 6 (31:07):
So got like when you say that, like you mean
like that bi who was only one hundred dollars bill?

Speaker 5 (31:15):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (31:16):
Goncoln.

Speaker 6 (31:22):
That's the first amendment? What's the second? Right to vote?

Speaker 8 (31:25):
Name three states that border Canada? Where just do one
per person?

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Oh? Asia.

Speaker 6 (31:31):
You know, I didn't know Canada to border.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
I missed the nineteen hundreds.

Speaker 9 (31:36):
This is the Trevor Cherry Show on the Valley's Power Talk.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah, let me just forget what I was going to
talk about and tell you my Rick D's the weekly
Top forty. Many people grew up hearing him in the
eighties and nineties two thousands. When I was it would
have been twelve thirteen, right before we moved to California.
He was on fifty six WHPQ in Memphis when Disco

(32:03):
Duck was out. He was the big morning DJ in Memphis,
and I would record I on My dad had this
those remember those square or kind of rectangle cassette players flat.
He'd set them down, had a microphone on the side.
I'd go in the closet, turn my radio on WHBQ,
set the microphone out there. Some of the recordings you'd

(32:24):
hear like, wow, get out, quit I'm recording. And my
friends never understood on my cassette tapes why I would
cut off certain songs. If I really liked the song,
I'd record the song, but it would just be Rick
D's and the other DJ's talking because I was recording
them because I that's what I kind of wanted to do.
I thought, you know, after I was a major League

(32:46):
Baseball player and was in the Hall of Fame, then
I would go, do you know, maybe sports radio and
be a DJ, because I'd still be young or enough to.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Do it at all.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
And then when I was in Chico and got a job,
my first FM job when I was eighteen, I ran
the Rick D's Weekly Tought forty Countdown and they even
gave me a station jacket. And I met somebody in
Chico who said that they interned for Rick D's over
the summer. His name was Leo Quanonas, and he's like,
come on down, man, I'll get you in. And so

(33:19):
I went down and he wasn't there, and the security
guard let me up to the eleventh floor or whatever,
and after waiting an hour, the lady came out, you're
still here. I said yes, he said, come on in,
and he was so kind to me, and I got
a picture.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
I'll post that tomorrow. We'll post that up.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
I got a picture Rick Dy's sitting there at kiss FMLA.
I had my kmv R Chico T shirt on and
he let me sit in there for a few breaks,
and I knew enough to be like, hey, thanks for
your time.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
I'm going to leave you alone. Thanks.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
You know, I didn't overstay, probably stayed fifteen minutes. So
I him do the traffic and all the sound effects
and talk over a few records. And then years later,
when I was working at a record company there in LA,
I was having a music meeting at Kiss FM. Coming
down the elevator. Who was I on there with just
Rick and myself? And I said, Rick, ten years ago,

(34:09):
you were so kind to me when I came here
and I was a young DJ. And he's like, oh, good,
what Trevor's your name? Okay, good to meet you again, Trevor.
And when we got out the elevator, there were some
people standing around, some guys and they're like, hey Rick,
Rick knew him, and we walked up and he's like.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Hey, it's my friend, Trevor.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
See just act kind like that, right, Don't you love
to hear stories about people like that? So yeah, go
listen to rig D's on there. I asked somebody a
few months ago if they'd heard what he was doing.
They said, well, he's still I think doing something. Living
in the South somewhere as well, yeah, he got out
of California, but he was in LA during a great time.
I just remember he'd be like seventy seven D's Grease,

(34:46):
one D Grease. It was D's Grease. I still have
in my record collection the nineteen eighty six I think
it was the summer of eighty six, the whole Countdown
on vinyl, and it's pristine. It was probably only played
once and a few times I put it on to
listen to the Countdown and it was good stuff. That's

(35:08):
classic stuff. I don't know if my four oh one
K will be as impressive when I pass away, but boys,
some stuff they're going to find in my house.
