00:01:49.880 all right thank you let me uh let me start with joe scarborough joe scarborough yesterday came out

00:02:01.560 and was very upset that the the biden story the laptop story had been suppressed by twitter and

00:02:10.300 facebook he was very upset yesterday thought it was shameful here he is post comes out with it they're

00:02:17.260 the only one that comes out with it and then it is banned on social media that's bad yeah it's horrific

00:02:23.820 that's bad because again it is i think we have to you know you have to say it's a real it's a real

00:02:30.920 story oh wow that is big of you thank you dan abrams for for pointing that it is a real story and you

00:02:37.480 have to say it and it was horrific what facebook and twitter did according to joe scarborough now let

00:02:43.840 me take you back into the time tunnel tunnel tunnel tunnel tunnel to a time when joe scarborough's memory

00:02:52.300 has been wiped clean here's a super classic from the same guy who said it was horrific that's what

00:02:59.320 conservatives think they can lie through their teeth these right wingers think at wall street

00:03:03.860 journal editorial pacing they can lie through their teeth and talk about facebook having problems

00:03:10.900 and twitter having problems with a story that even the new york post knew was a lie

00:03:20.340 they knew it was such a lie we'll get to this but okay that they put a woman's name on the story

00:03:27.900 reportedly that didn't even know her name was going to be on the story the man who wrote that story

00:03:34.420 knew it was such a lie horrific the new york post knew it was such a lie that he refused to put his name

00:03:43.780 on that story they published a series of lies held to them by rudy giuliani who admitted that nobody else

00:03:53.020 would take it but rupert murdoch's new york post okay because all righty thank you joe it's weird

00:03:59.960 it's almost like what you were saying there is horrific is that the same person you're saying

00:04:05.600 no no no that you the first clip and the second clip the same person well it's the same person but

00:04:11.820 um he's kind of a chameleon he goes wherever the winds are going you know what i mean yeah i'm a

00:04:18.720 conservative i hate conservatives i love conservatives i hate conservatives you know

00:04:23.780 that's true that's not true that's definitely not true it's horrific it's an outrage you should go to

00:04:29.320 jail that seems to be totally true that's joe scarborough those two clips are almost like a

00:04:34.300 person who believes they can say absolutely anything and no one will ever notice yes they just

00:04:39.800 completely disagree with themselves and you know what it's true because no one watches msnbc

00:04:46.280 okay it's good reasoning then uh let me show you something that i was really kind of excited about

00:04:52.620 when i first heard i thought yeah and i'll tell you how it ends in a second but first here is cut

00:04:59.560 eight governor greg abbott from the great state of texas to help local officials whose communities are

00:05:08.080 being overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by the biden administration

00:05:13.340 texas is providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants who have been dropped off by

00:05:21.360 the biden administration to washington dc wow we are sending them to the united states capital where

00:05:28.640 the biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that

00:05:32.280 they are allowing to come across our border oh it's done with such compassion such i mean it was

00:05:39.700 almost a little ron desantis wasn't it and when i say a little i mean maybe like his pinky i mean on

00:05:47.780 his foot and i think you can walk without a pinky i think you could lose the pinky on your hands and

00:05:53.420 your feet and you're fine so when i say a little ron desantis i mean the appendages that you could lose

00:06:01.060 and still not notice that's how much of ron desantis he was okay okay why is that um because what he said

00:06:08.800 now listen carefully listen very carefully to what the governor said because it was revealed

00:06:17.360 later but he knows because listen to what he's saying play it again to help local officials help local

00:06:25.880 those communities are being overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by

00:06:31.100 the biden administration yeah texas texas is providing charter buses providing to send these

00:06:38.300 illegal immigrants who have been dropped off by the biden administration okay so that sounds what's

00:06:42.860 wrong with that what's wrong with that that sounds great doesn't it the key word here is providing

00:06:49.660 providing providing we're providing tour buses okay what are you we're upset about paying for it no no no

00:07:00.880 no no these illegal immigrants need to volunteer to get on to the buses texas is providing to send

00:07:11.720 them to the hell hole of washington dc now i mean even if you don't speak a word of english

00:07:19.640 you hear washington dc as they're pointing to a bus i don't get on that bus i don't understand

00:07:27.900 though i've been told that illegal immigrants are treated terribly by texas and wonderfully by

00:07:32.260 yeah no we're just uh why wouldn't they want to go to washington dc immediately what wouldn't that

00:07:37.280 be their priority because even even if you're not in america you don't want to go to washington dc

00:07:43.260 i don't understand we're told over and over again by the media the people who treat illegal

00:07:48.220 immigrants fairly yeah are the people in the blue states and the blue communities who are embracing

00:07:52.980 them and giving them all these programs why wouldn't they want to go to washington dc i don't

00:07:57.160 understand so now ron de sant or rick de sant ron de rick ron ron de santis you're so well versed in

00:08:03.580 this story you almost know his name now we are getting to the point where i don't know what it is

00:08:07.720 by well i do know what it is by 2024 yeah election night yeah ron de santis wins the presidency

00:08:15.160 i call him you're gonna president de santis there you go that's that's how we solve this

00:08:21.440 you're never gonna get the rick and ron thing yeah i've never but eventually if he becomes president

00:08:25.380 you could say that you should you know you should do governor de santis governor de santis there you

00:08:29.240 go governor de santis so anyway governor r de santis uh governor i don't know i don't know why you

00:08:39.100 have a hang up on this i think it's rick santorum i don't know why i mean i never think of rick

00:08:46.080 santorum but that's the only thing i can well every time that you get this name wrong i think of one

00:08:51.380 specific thing yeah go ahead say it and there you have it another example of why glenn beck is in the

00:08:59.280 radio hall of fame there it is there it is you're exactly right exactly right do you do you get his

00:09:08.000 name wrong i don't get it are you in the hall of fame i am not in the hall of fame enough said

00:09:12.380 anyway anyway uh uh governor de santis you know he said that he was going to send people up to

00:09:21.660 delaware and it was great he didn't because he tied it to those ghost planes in the middle of the

00:09:27.580 night and he said we don't know when they're coming in we would have to be prepared to meet

00:09:33.260 them at the airport so i don't know if that was a loophole that helped him get out of it or not

00:09:40.420 but he did say when these ghost planes land we are going to bust them uh and send them to uh delaware

00:09:47.960 all right if the united states government can take illegals and just dump them into our border

00:09:57.000 towns these towns do not have the capability of doing it i for one as a texan am sick and tired

00:10:06.600 of what this government u.s government is doing to texas they are intentionally doing this to texas

00:10:14.660 and the entire country don't get me wrong because they're hitting every state they're hitting every

00:10:19.720 state so they're doing it to all of our communities but i really really don't

00:10:26.880 understand why we can't take people who the feds just dumped into a city have no connection to that

00:10:34.500 city i don't know why we can't pick them up put them in a bus and feed them well treat them well

00:10:41.400 they can all be singing the flintstone songs along with john candy and steve martin as they take their

00:10:47.260 train plane or automobile some other place a blue state that does seem logical to me though i will say

00:10:55.920 the the the legal aspects of uh of this are always an issue right like then don't say don't toy don't

00:11:03.640 don't dance around it then say then the governor shouldn't come out and say we're providing and then

00:11:09.600 reveal the details and oh by the way here are the details right but like is ron de santis doing this

00:11:14.700 by force no so so it might be no i'm i i know that i know that but um don't be a used car salesman

00:11:23.740 you're saying you didn't read the fine print right you're saying that he's the way he's announcing it

00:11:27.940 obviously i think the average person would hear that announcement and say he's when he finds an

00:11:32.300 illegal immigrant he he's going to put them on a bus and ship them to washington dc when in reality

00:11:38.580 finds them not when he finds them they're being dropped off at city i don't know if you've seen

00:11:44.200 the interviews with the mayors of these border towns oh they're they can't believe and they're a lot

00:11:48.060 of them are democrats right and they are pulling their their the united states government is pulling

00:11:52.840 these buses up and then just dumping them into these towns okay the town there are more illegals

00:11:59.760 in these towns than there are townsfolk okay right i don't understand why the state can't say

00:12:07.160 yeah this is out of control you're going over here and we're gonna dump you at 1600 pennsylvania

00:12:14.720 avenue logically i obviously agree with you on this but i mean i remember the arizona case where

00:12:19.280 arizona not not just had an announcement by the governor but passed a law that was going to enforce

00:12:24.040 immigration law and it got overturned in the supreme court yeah well so i don't i don't maybe there's

00:12:28.340 just no way i'm sorry but this the constitution is not a suicide pact no i don't but the government

00:12:33.840 does not abide by the laws itself when the government is is abusing the rights it was set

00:12:44.520 up to protect i don't i'm sorry i'm not leaving america joe biden's america left me i'm still in

00:12:55.320 america i still believe in the constitution and the bill of rights i believe in equal justice

00:13:01.980 i believe in the rule of law joe biden's administration and joe biden's america and the

00:13:08.600 left they don't so i'm still holding old glory i'm still here with my pocket constitution and

00:13:16.900 declaration of independence and i still abide by all of that but the government doesn't when

00:13:24.340 is it going to be enough for states and governors just to say i'm sorry but you're not going to

00:13:33.160 collapse my state and me just sit here and take it the good news though is if greg abbott were to lose

00:13:40.500 we can i'm sure beto will handle this more appropriately oh yeah he'll nail oh no he'll

00:13:44.860 nail this whole thing fantastic it'll be fantastic and by the way even if they do say oh you can't do

00:13:51.600 that supreme court how many buses could we get to washington dc before the court case and an

00:13:59.200 injunction i think we could get a lot so let's load up a lot of them and then we just let them go

00:14:07.400 in washington dc they'll have their smart phones so you can track them and then you know when the

00:14:13.460 when the federal government says hey you can't do that okay all right well tell us where they are

00:14:21.360 with their smartphone and we'll ask them to come back on the bus we'll give them optional buses

00:14:26.980 yes this is the best of the glenn beck program and we really want to thank you for listening

00:14:36.420 i am surrounded by a new family of people who have their life back because of relief factor

00:14:51.300 uh i'm one of them i was uh uh in pain and got to the point to where i just i couldn't do it

00:14:58.500 anymore i did anybody else feel like you know i just i can't get up another day um we have our life

00:15:06.160 back because of relief factor it's not a television commercial it's uh it's a group of real people

00:15:14.180 with real results that had real pain try it yourself relief factor this guy when he started

00:15:21.520 completely bald look at him now doesn't do anything for your hair but it will help you get out of pain

00:15:30.280 give it a shot try the three-week quick start doesn't work move on but we're here to tell you

00:15:35.780 it works relieffactor.com all right you sick twisted freak now i want to make sure that this is not

00:15:50.020 twisted around into something like um you know fear of the chinese you're just chinophobic

00:15:58.440 no no i'm not uh and i don't think uh the guy who is standing up and trying to fight against this

00:16:05.840 plant in north dakota in north dakota is either uh it's ben graduleski is that right that's yes that's

00:16:15.520 correct oh my gosh you have way too many letters in your name um ben uh first of all let me just ask

00:16:23.040 you a couple of quick questions just so i just so i know where you're coming from and we're really

00:16:28.560 clear on it um okay you don't have a problem with foreigners no okay you're not you're not uh

00:16:38.480 asia phobic you're not like chinese people i don't trust them oh no not at all okay good uh because that

00:16:46.680 that you know i'm sure is being said or could be said and uh i'd like to not repeat the uh 1940s

00:16:55.340 hey let's round up the japanese um the people are different than the uh than the country all right

00:17:01.380 so we've established that so there is this plant being built and as i understand it the community was

00:17:11.840 not uh consulted by this it's just going through the city council and they're trying to shut people

00:17:18.800 up who are against it right uh it appears to be that way yes okay tell me what's happening

00:17:25.780 well so apparently the city leaders have been working on bringing this project to town for

00:17:32.920 uh somewhere around two years before they even brought it into the public eye

00:17:37.280 and it came into the uh public eye late last fall uh early early winter and and then since then

00:17:45.520 they've just been pushing it through there was never any you know question to the the citizens of

00:17:50.340 the town hey do we want this manufacturing plant uh is this something we want to put our tax dollars

00:17:55.920 towards to to entice to come here there was never anything like that um and there just seems to be a lot

00:18:02.220 of issues with it that are coming along with this plant and and we don't have a say in it so let's

00:18:08.120 go through some of the issues i i would have to say even though i asked those first two questions i do

00:18:12.580 believe this is different is this a i mean i'm sure it is a uh a communist party uh owned or at least

00:18:22.400 partially owned company from china well the they they say it that it is not they assure us it is not

00:18:31.660 uh but however there's been studies done that show otherwise by independent analysis okay analysts

00:18:39.180 rather um you know so okay i guess and the people trying to sell us the plants assure us that everything

00:18:47.560 is uh a-okay though yeah there's no such thing as that in a communist country um all right so so tell

00:18:55.000 me what the other problems are you're putting out taxes i assume this is going to cost you guys

00:18:59.840 in tax base so there there's a close to 100 million dollars worth of taxpayer dollars that

00:19:08.160 is going to entice this company you know through infrastructure roads gas pipelines water pipelines

00:19:14.560 uh sewer and water um and and there is a 20-year payback program from this company okay that that is

00:19:21.900 what they are telling us how it's going to be so you know theoretically at the end of the day if

00:19:26.640 everything works out in 20 company comes down and in 20 years and they stay we should have our money

00:19:31.900 paid back you know and then some and the property task i would assume that it's going to create jobs

00:19:38.640 how many jobs is it going to create they're talking 233 direct jobs and 500 or something indirect jobs

00:19:48.780 okay is what they're saying all right you know and the average wage on the direct jobs is is not that

00:19:56.220 high i mean it's 50 it's in the mid 50s but that's average across the board so you know when you start

00:20:03.180 getting your executives and top high dollar earners in there i don't think at the end of the day they're

00:20:07.300 going to be real high paying right quality jobs and then you have a problem because of the not you but

00:20:15.660 the the the people who are standing up um you had a water problem recently and they're using this

00:20:21.920 plant will use more water than the entire town in a day it will use slightly less we use about seven

00:20:30.280 and a half million gallons a day on average as a city they're going to use about six and a half

00:20:34.600 million gallons a day okay and do you have the water uh according to their studies yes but last summer

00:20:42.760 they were requesting that the citizens reduce their water usage because we were running out of

00:20:49.000 water and and i have found several different reasons why and i've got several different answers as to why

00:20:55.280 that was last summer uh but they don't all really necessarily line up with each other so that that's

00:21:00.560 kind of a big red flag for me um what are the other problems uh well there's pollution smell smell is a

00:21:09.960 big concern for a lot of people um they're situating this plant on the north kind of north northwest side

00:21:17.020 of town and that's where the prevailing winds come from around here so any anything that they produce

00:21:22.700 uh exhaust or dust or any of that will all be blowing right across town okay so this so so what's

00:21:31.300 happening you're you're putting a petition out because you you're just asking for people to vote on it

00:21:36.480 don't leave this up to the city council right that's exactly right uh we went around we needed

00:21:42.800 about 3,617 signatures to to get it to a vote uh it was 15 percent of the last voting population last

00:21:49.920 gubernatorial election uh and we collected 5,318 i believe it was and turned them in um to which the

00:21:58.440 city leaders the city attorney and the city leaders immediately went to work to as as i said earlier it

00:22:05.860 seems like they are trying their hardest to disqualify the whole thing and how are they doing

00:22:11.060 that well they they first off they have a police detective had a police detective uh calling around

00:22:18.360 calling petitioners calling the signers with a with a couple different questionnaires depending on who

00:22:23.100 they were talking to with a list of i i don't need to 10 10 questions each or something um you know

00:22:28.920 just trying to ascertain exactly what they were shown how they were asked if they were pressured

00:22:33.680 um it's it's kind of bizarre it feels like they're going way above and beyond what they actually need

00:22:39.880 to do to verify signatures uh see i think this is where people always get in trouble i mean if there's

00:22:46.760 if there's nothing unseemly about it just let the people know just give them all the information trust

00:22:53.520 the people but i mean even apparently in grand forks how big is grand forks um it's about 60 000 people

00:23:03.220 60 000 people and they don't trust the community um evidently not it sure is not looking that way

00:23:13.400 it's uh i don't know it maybe there's a ulterior motive here it's it's strange though i mean we've

00:23:22.080 had petitions done in this town in the past and they have never used police police detectives anything

00:23:26.840 like that i mean sure the city city auditor has called folks you know randomly to check but i think

00:23:32.700 a phone call from a city auditor is much different than a phone call from a police detective so if the

00:23:38.680 petition when will you know if the petition is going to be deemed valid or not um that's a little up in

00:23:44.600 the air they had said at the last city council meeting that they were hoping to have it done

00:23:48.880 by tomorrow hoping to have us an answer by tomorrow and if it is valid then it goes for the election

00:23:56.920 it should go to the june the june election okay and if it's if it's not then what do you do if they

00:24:04.360 say it's not valid uh i i honestly don't know the answer that i know if it's thrown out based on

00:24:11.020 invalid signatures you know if they cross off too many signatures we will have seven days to go get

00:24:17.200 those signatures rectified um and get them returned in if it's if it's due to invalid paperwork which is

00:24:24.080 what they were indicating at the city council meeting i don't know if we have a recourse i i'm

00:24:30.840 not sure honestly so um how can we help you well uh we can use all the support we could get on our

00:24:40.040 facebook group okay which is uh grand forks community awareness of fufang of fufang f yes

00:24:48.300 it's actually spelled f-u-f-e-n-g but it's pronounced fufang okay so it's like fufang fang correct yeah

00:24:57.180 with an e um okay grand forks community awareness of fufang project yes yes just rolls right off the

00:25:06.320 tongue uh all right well best of luck is this surprising ben how long have you lived in grand

00:25:11.960 forks uh most of my life i spent about a year and a half elsewhere but uh 30 37 years and is this

00:25:20.480 surprising that this is happening in your small town like this absolutely you know back to the

00:25:25.680 petitions we've had petitions in the past that were done on the wrong paperwork and the city attorney

00:25:30.000 actually helped them to get it to vote uh and now it seems like we are going in 100 the opposite

00:25:37.400 direction here so yeah it's it's very disappointing that they're trying to suppress the citizens having

00:25:42.500 a say and it sounds very un-american please let us know what uh what happens and and hopefully

00:25:49.460 there will be a little ground shake in uh in your town appreciate it we appreciate it you having us

00:25:56.820 on thank you very much you bet uh again you can find a facebook grand forks community awareness of

00:26:02.420 fuf fufang uh fufang uh project you know the only reason why i have that is this such a small community

00:26:09.160 and such a local thing that um why would you be interested i mean we have debated this story in

00:26:17.900 our production meetings and our produce with the meeting with the producers for a few weeks we've been

00:26:23.800 talking about it and uh it just keeps coming up because of a couple of reasons i think it's

00:26:30.080 important because you don't know what's happening in your own town you really don't and people it's so

00:26:36.620 easy for people to say oh well it's not happening here it probably is it probably is you would be

00:26:44.260 surprised at the size of the towns that are part of the agenda 2030 project from the united nations

00:26:51.780 which falls right into the great reset you'd be surprised money doesn't talk it screams

00:26:59.420 and there's been a lot of these towns that are roped into it now and you would have no idea

00:27:05.120 the things that are going on in our schools you think that it couldn't happen here it's not being

00:27:12.420 taught it is it is and the people who you think are really good people and they probably are

00:27:18.400 but they are part of it they are part of it doesn't make them a bad person just makes them

00:27:25.320 wrong uh and a lot of those people are teachers no matter what a teacher says to you

00:27:31.260 i firmly believe if you are in the teacher's union and you know what's going on you are part of the

00:27:41.180 problem you're part of the problem because you are funding the group of people and the union that is

00:27:49.980 trying to sever us from our children it is happening it's happening everywhere in america

00:27:59.320 even a small town that now seems to have something funky going on with this chinese plant that is coming

00:28:08.160 in more in a second the best of the glenn beck program

00:28:14.880 stew i read something today that i thought no this can't be true and then and then as i read it i

00:28:31.120 thought definitely can't be true and then by the time i finished i thought ah i'm pretty sure this

00:28:38.640 is actual oh no okay this is a new york times editorial okay today okay opening day of major

00:28:44.880 league baseball season which falls on thursday after being delayed for a week by labor dispute

00:28:50.380 is as good of an occasion as uh as any for fans of the game to come to terms with certain hard facts

00:28:57.560 i'm talking of course about the inevitable future in which professional baseball is what

00:29:03.780 the inevitable future that baseball is um gosh uh woke um that it's uh nah nationalized

00:29:22.420 the inevitable truth that baseball is nationalized and put under some authority of some federal entity

00:29:31.080 why why on earth would that occur attendance at the games have declined steadily since 2008 and

00:29:39.080 viewership figures are almost hilariously bleak an ordinary national primetime mlb broadcast such as

00:29:45.960 espn's sunday night baseball attracts some 1.5 million pairs of eyes each week which is to say roughly

00:29:52.300 the number that are likely to be watching a heavily censored version of goodfellas on basic cable

00:29:58.760 movie channel at the same time in the same time slot even the world series attracts smaller audiences than

00:30:05.660 the average thursday night football broadcast the dregs of the national football league's weekly

00:30:10.540 schedule in 1975 the world series had an average of 36 million viewers per game in 2021 it barely

00:30:17.660 attracts 12 million per game casual wait we're gonna okay 12 million a game we're gonna nationalize

00:30:26.120 oh he's can he hasn't started yet okay casual observers may assume the that despite the lack

00:30:32.340 of popularity baseball is still somehow insanely valuable this illusion major league baseball generated

00:30:38.660 around 11 billion dollars in revenue in 2019 but this figure does not accurately reflect the demand

00:30:44.620 for its product mike trout's 426 million dollar contract is effectively being paid by millions

00:30:51.360 of grandparents who just want to tune in to anderson cooper or the antiques roadshow stop as uh that

00:30:58.060 audience dies off and younger generations of cord cutters take their place baseball's revenue will

00:31:03.920 plummet culturally the game is increasingly irrelevant the average age of a person watching baseball on

00:31:10.760 television 57 and one shutters to think what the comparable figure is for radio broadcasts typical american

00:31:17.820 10 year olds or is likely to recognize jorge solar solar yes uh who was named the most valuable player of last

00:31:26.360 year's world series as they are their local congressional representative college athletes drafted by

00:31:32.200 that's such a that's a ridiculous point in some parts of the country participation in little league has decreased by

00:31:40.460 nearly 50 percent in the past decade and a half when my wife and i signed up our five and six year old daughters for

00:31:46.100 t-ball a few weeks ago we did so partly out of the grim sense of obligation we might we might have been irish parents

00:31:53.600 enrolling our children in step dancing classes this is your heritage and you're gonna learn it and you're gonna love it

00:31:59.760 oh um so much i don't think i'm like super bullish on the future of baseball as compared to maybe some

00:32:06.780 other sports i love baseball but i mean cut this is a ridiculous piece that you're taking out a guy from

00:32:13.880 the the mlb mvp who yes he wouldn't be highly recognized but like there are a lot of players in

00:32:19.380 baseball who would be and those are the guys that win the mvp for the entire season i think it's worth

00:32:24.400 being honest up front come on about what nationalizing baseball would entail well i'd like

00:32:31.440 to think that the biden administration could just take all the 30 teams and dissolve the league by

00:32:36.960 executive fiat citing language wrote this this is pathetic this is wrote this this is written by

00:32:44.420 matthew walther he's an editor of the lamp a catholic literary literary journal he writes frequently about

00:32:51.460 sports he should stop writing frequently about sports i don't think he's ever heard of sports so

00:32:55.900 listen to this uh it's more realistic to assume congress would have to be involved legislation would

00:33:01.180 authorize purchasing the teams at their current although absurdly inflated market valuation players

00:33:06.940 coaches and other staff members would become federal employees general manager would be appointed

00:33:11.360 uh blah blah blah i mean this has got to be a joke right it's okay what was it april 1st that it was

00:33:16.460 it was uh posted i think this i just got this today in my show prep so no april april 7th it's today

00:33:23.860 maybe he's just late by six days maybe come on why would we first of all we shouldn't nationalize it

00:33:31.020 even if it collapses this can't be true it is not we should not be involved in that in any way

00:33:36.880 we should not nationalize anything i would also note that one of the teams plays in canada so i don't

00:33:42.560 know why how you'd be nationalizing uh the toronto blue jays that would be an interesting trick

00:33:48.140 no we came out april 6th april 6th that is one of the guest essay opinion new york times april 6th now

00:33:56.140 they've been writing these pieces about how how the sport is dying for so many years i can't even

00:34:01.460 right them they've been doing it since i was a kid uh and look it's it has dropped in attendance a

00:34:06.080 little bit now you look at last year obviously was a covid year i mean many some of these parks

00:34:09.820 weren't even open at the beginning of the year uh so it was down last year but i mean you know

00:34:13.740 their numbers are fine if you can't build a business around 68 million people in the parks in 2019

00:34:22.000 68 million you can't build a bit you need to be nationalized forget it not to mention the tv and the

00:34:29.540 digital deals on top of the merchandise and all the other crap that goes on yes at times these these

00:34:35.740 teams spend so much money that they can get themselves into trouble and there's some issues

00:34:42.740 with income inequality uh between the los angeles dodgers and every other team in the league but

00:34:49.480 still there's no reason there's not even an argument that it would fail let alone be nationalized it's

00:34:55.340 completely ridiculous i find it interesting that he says the average age of people watching it on tv is

00:35:01.440 57 what's the average person of people that are watching tv right i mean the cable news average

00:35:07.300 audience is like 72 right three yeah but they would think about nationalizing that no they would

00:35:13.800 probably nationalize that but i mean again to you yeah you're right the tv average age is i mean people

00:35:20.280 are really watching digital and then they shudder to think what it is on radio well most likely it's on

00:35:26.120 am radio and unless you're a conservative you don't even know where a what am radio even means yes

00:35:34.300 there's just there's just am there's news talk radio and sports radio yeah that's it that's all am

00:35:39.620 that's it is uh so i mean this is just you know this is none this is like basically the uh we're gonna have

00:35:47.240 700 million people get displaced by by global warming next year like it's like one of those type of pieces

00:35:53.100 i don't want to be like there's people that are are are uh posting on instagram and facebook and stuff

00:36:01.660 my apology to george soros yes last april fools okay and they're like gladbeck sold out he apologized

00:36:08.360 i called him i have sincerely apologized to mr pepperoni eyes does that sound like a sincere apology

00:36:17.500 for the love of pete people are so stupid um but uh i don't want to be one of those people when i read

00:36:24.460 this i'm like i don't i don't know anymore i don't know anymore i don't know is this guy serious or not

00:36:32.740 does he really because it's probably i guess it's serious the only reason i think it's serious is

00:36:37.760 because this type of piece has been written for a long time minus the nationalization that's a new wrinkle

00:36:43.020 like i the baseball is going to fail it's not our national pastime anymore it's well behind football

00:36:48.840 and basketball now and there's truth to some of that for sure i mean certainly football is the number

00:36:53.360 one sport but still this is a pretty freaking healthy business hang on maybe he's being sarcastic and he's

00:37:03.660 actually writing an a pro baseball piece okay saying oh you know yeah it's so bad it's horrible it's

00:37:12.000 horrible maybe we should naturalize we gotta get him on the phone and if he doesn't come on the show

00:37:17.680 well we know

00:37:18.460 you

00:37:25.040 you

00:37:25.780 you
