Real Talk, Real Freedom. All right, everybody, welcome to another episode of Life Liberty Happiness. I'm your host, Brian Slave. We are live in the David Honaker State Farm Studios like a good neighbor. David is there along with my compadre Emma, Hello, and Trent. I was not expecting. I know. That's why I did it. Wake up a little bit. I need to be awoken. Your eyes are going in way too many different directions because I'm trying to pick a monitor and stick with it, trying to make sure it looks right for you perfect. So the split screen and how we're doing YouTube. Last week we watched at my house. We watched some of the last episode up on the screen. Yeah, And for the first time I've been doing this show, I now realize Emma rolls her eyes behind me. And because I've only see this direction, it wasn't until I've been watching on video because I listened to the audio version at the time, that I actually saw her look up to you, like, like, what an a hole? I just now I'm gonna have to watch more often. Yeah, I will say it's l L H underscore podcast. Yes it's fire like I mean, air production is awesome. We're above seventy. Yes we have hit seventy one. Yeah, next week we need to be at eighty one. Might as well go for ninety. That's right. Hey, didn't you say our one hundredth subscriber will give them merch? Or do we not say? Yeah, sure, it's a good idea. We're saying that now. Well, don't hold out to be the hundreds though. Well, I feel like the hundredth of special. That is true, Like, yeah, we'll give you merch. We'll find something. Hey, we'll do this. I will give you a hundred dollars credit to the media squatch merch. Yeah, and then if you listen, if you're a listener and you are the one hundredth subscriber, guess what you get to even design your own merch if you would like. Depending on what you look like, I might take you out. Oh you didn't say what gender, just what you look like, right, I'm not going to the specifics, that's right. Yeah, so no way I don't get in trouble house anyway. The perks of listening to life, liberty, happiness, right, well, all right, on too, backwards and forwards? All right, all right. This past weekend, Trent and I both did some hunting. Yeah. I told your brother as I was coming through the woods, there was a time when we hunted that if you left the cabin and drove, whether it's behind the house or up to Schaeffer or over to Irenes, you were going to see something, whether it's a dough buck or something. It's dude, I swear they're abandoned, they're gone, but they're on the cameras. Yeah, Strea Wich, I haven't checked today. I mean, did you see anything the whole time you sat negative? And yet they were on your cameras when you left. Correct, It's uncanny how slick they are. Uncanny? Were you deer hunting? Yes, so there's a buck right there. Trent left or Sunday weekend, not early early, but early so Brad and I typically don't hunt on Sunday, but he said, if you want to ride around, I want to ride around and see if we see anything. Let me just tell you, Trent, coyote my heart sank. On the way up to the salt box, I was looking up the side of the ridge and I got too far right. Oh my god, let me just tell you. I caught it just in the nick of time and pulled off. When I came back down and I saw my tire prints, three inches is giving it a lot compared to what it really was. How it didn't just slide off the edge of the road, Oh, I have no idea. I'd have been a twenty foot drop easily, was Brad and the passenger sign. Yeah, and he I think he was like who I once too, man, but not would not have been good with thirty day tags on the truck. In fact, I didn't tell you this mainly because I kind of just forgot about it. So you just brought that up. But on the way down looking at a deer. But right now, on the way down, right there where remember where the cows were loose, there's little calves, yeah, right at that area. In fact, I didn't even know that rock was there. I hit it with both tires, front and back before I even knew. I hit it with the front and it made me hop out of my seat. I hit it so hard. I hate that rock. I'm gonna dig it up. I didn't even know it was there. Oh, usually I'm looking at the road. I guess enough to not do that. I don't know what I did. I don't know. It's just right there where you had your snare across the I know, I know that rock. Yeah, I've hit it a time or two. You know, I hit it with bow tires. But I got airborne one weekend. All that was good, had a great talb. I love going there. It's one of my favorite things to do. However, I will say this, and I don't know the reason why. I have a very comfortable bed, but I do not sleep well there. And I cannot figure out why I'm up at four am just staring at the ceiling. And what's funny, Emma, is we pass each other on the way to the bathroom in the. Mornings because we're in our fifties, and. It's funny how the bodies are like yep, I mean, it's not an hour difference, it's minutes. Yeah. And then my uncle feed's breakfast and he gets up at five in the morning to cook it at a minimum. Yes, it's already made by five thirty. Yep. And we're usually just sitting down there and drinking coffee. And I never get up at five thirty at my house. Correct, what time do you wake up on the weekends. At my house at the latest eight. I wish I could get extra sleep, it just doesn't come for me. I'm gonna get up at five six. Squad happens when you get older, it is, I. Think, so, which is nice. It's very peaceful in the mornings. Yeah. I mean, you know, there are many places that you can sit on a front porch and enjoy a place, and that's one. Oh, you just watched the river go bye. Just sit there even if it's cold, you know, you out there. And just it's one of my favorite that And there's usually going to be a great football game on or basketball game on, or it's just fun. Like there's nothing about it that's boring. It's just fun. So anyway, good weekend. Enjoyed the heck out of it. I am going Thanksgiving, so I'll be back down there. Your wife is making you go, oh, yes, she has a crazy story, Brian, if I can tell it the right way, because it made me laugh this weekend. Brian decides, I'm going to be a family man and tell my wife that I'm going to stick around longer for Thanksgiving. And she said, as Jason Bateman would the hell you are why she wants him to go. She's got in mind to enjoy her Thanksgiving. He's cat shopping, she's got decorations. You got get out of my way, get out, yees. So I'm excited upcoming weekend a lot. It starts tomorrow taking Marty and the boys, and we're heading to d C, which I haven't been to d C in a long time, and I don't know what we're doing, but I have decided. To just say, okay, perfect. There's a lot of good restaurants up there. Well apparently if you don't know that you have to take make a reservation at any of them. You can't get into any of them. I've been told, okay, go. Out, go outside the city because like my sister lives in the Herndon area and of those. Require that's not happening. I'm just gonna. Be in DC, I know, but it's not that far. So we're going to do that. I still don't know what we're doing. Let me have a story. My wife and uh man, we were on this strict diet and we were doing so well. Trent and beside look down from the White House. There was a place that used to be the post office and then it was renovated to be these little shops right, and we were there and it's just probably fifteen restaurants and there was just one restaurant that was healthy. And so we were looking at this other restaurant trying to figure out what to eat and the guy is like, what do you want? Like, it's busy, right, it's DC. And my wife is like, I don't know, I don't know, and he's just pressure yes, and she goes corn dog like and we walking to the table and I was like, how's that healthy? Say? She goes. He just started yelling she wilt it under pressure. It was so funny. I hate stuff that man, I do too. I'm not a fan, so here inside baseball information for me and this sounds like I'm so gay. I don't like going to a sports store Marksman Target, the Archery, the bows they call the tactical stores. Yeah, I can't stand going in them. It's like I don't know what I'm really looking at and oh, yeah, you know what I meant. And the guys know everything. So they're like asking you questions about the grains of bullets and all that stuff. Just I'm just wanting to bout that box right there that's forty bucks. I just want those number of bullets. And then you don't want the hornets. You would rather have you. Got the hornet days. Yeah, you know what I mean. And it's like all this stuff though, are you a hollow point fan? Just that green box right there just hand me that I saw. I'm not into that, so yeah, exactly. So I literally am sweating now thinking about how that makes me sweat. I don't want, like, I know, I need a crossbow. But when I saw them in that pro choice place because Grayson told me you should go to Pro choice choice is great. Okay, So there's fifteen of them on the wall. I'm afraid to look too long because somebody's gonna come ask me what I'm looking for, and I I got no idea. I will tell you that's a pretty one. The guy there, and obviously there's multiple people there, but the guy there. What I liked about him was I sort of broke the ice because same thing, I'm looking at handguns to which I had never. I wouldn't even try that, forget that. And I'm looking and I'm looking and I'm looking, and again he's asking me what caliber, what feels good on your rid, you know? And I look at him and I'm gonna dude, I've never owned a handgun in my life. I don't know what I want. And he goes, you want this cook one. He's like, I ended up buying the purple one, but it was for assent. But I ended up going back and getting what I want for me. But he was once he found out I knew nothing. He was very educational and took his time. Yeah, but let's say there had been an old time up there at the shelf, would you have just kept walking? Oh? Yes, see, that's what I'm saying. I don't. It's like trying to park a boat or a camper and somebody staring at you. Well, I feel the exact same. I did have an awkward moment because I told him. He's like, well, what is the most important thing to you? And I said, sick kill? I said safety. I said, and the guns that have been given to me, none of them have safeties on them. Huh. And he said on. A pistol like he's looking at me, like I'm the dumb one that would suggest that there should be a safety on a pistol. Huh, they're not. Oh, I didn't you know that exactly. So the only pistol you're going to get with a safety, per se is one with a cock on it, right, and then you will but there's no button. Huh, like you would. I did not do that. And he says to me, and I quote, the safety is you don't pull the trigger. True, okay, but I don't want that. Yeah, like what if my little grandkids in the middle of. The like, so, yes, I know the anxiety answer. That's why I don't go in. It's literally I do my research online and then I'll order something. This was my first five years at the river, sitting there listening to your dad and Brad and Joe and all of them talk caliber. Yeah, And I'm over there going, what's the difference between a thirty ought six? Yeah in a thirty thirty Yeah. Still don't know caliber, but at least I go yeah. Now, like the time I bought my thirty all to six rifle. Yeah, And your dad says, how did you like it? And I was like, oh, I love it, but I can't believe it only holds one bullet. Dude, he jerked that gun out of my hand. Still a famous story. Oh man, he. Was so mad that I don't even think that. Yeah, so I get it. I know what you're doing. So you know why I shoot open sights. I don't want to put a scope on I don't want to. I don't know what scope to put on it. I've just always been good with open sights and I haven't needed a scope. I mean, obviously have a couple of rifles with them on it, but I just don't want to do that. I will say it's different nowadays. Google changes everything. Yeah, Like you can google it and find out because I did buy a new scope from my thirty on six and it is night and day. Yeah, like the old one I'm searching, you know, and the new one. I'm just like, yep, there it is. Huh. Like it does make a massive difference. You know. Let's see you kill one. That gun has never missed. It just doesn't shot yet. Oh no, He's killed plenty. Okay, all right, This weekend for me is just birthday weekend. So Birthday week started Sunday. But nothing's happened yet, but we'll see how the week. It's your birthday. He doesn't celebrate birthdays. It's your birthday weekends. Don't let him fool you. It's a birth month. It's a week birth month. Uh it is Saturday, Yes, yes. Birthdays on Saturday. Why'd you have to look that up? I wasn't sure whether the twenty second wasday Sunday, Sundays days Honday. Oh. So to finish my weekend, I come back Sunday and my son you know, is coming early for Thanksgiving for the week. Yeah, so I'm picking him up Sunday and we're going hunting a couple of days before divorce Dad Wednesday, Thanksgiving nice and all. My family's going to be in for that. Please don't kill the deer, leave them for me. I'm killing everything. I see, great open sights. All right, moving on? Oh no, we need a quick presentation. Yeah, all about last Friday. Yeah, yeah, so you know last Friday I did the It was the school Board Members Association, Yes, school board member alliance, and I sat in on before I went hunting Friday, I sat in on the school board Member Alliance. Yeah, and it was so cool, man. So I just wanted to touch on that a little bit because it is it's a little bit of news here. But it was so eye opening to me to sit there. And so this group is they're out there trying to make school board members normal people. Right, They're not doctors, doctorates and all that. It's parents trying to get parents to be there. Yes, And I gotta say, man, it was so eye opening to me just sit there, and oh, it was so nice they had at the beginning, they had how many people stand up that has been elected just on the new school boards. And the lady that we helped indorse, Jill Dotson, was there. Yes, Okay, so I had never met her. I just knew about her, and so we talked a little bit and I think I got her book to come on the show. Nice. Yeah, it's really cool, very very cool stuff. Man. The ladies, the moms that are there, that are on school boards, the questions they were asking were so cool. I'm just glad that we have sensible moms that are, you know, juggling their family's lives. That's who you want on a school board. But here's some things. I am so disappointed. You never really think about this when you lose elections, but youngkin appoints people in positions that will now be gone. Right, And so this lady is the secretary of education for Virginia. Which she talked about what our education was like when she first got on board and the things that she changed that will now obviously go back to the way they were. So here's some of it. Fairfax during her tenure went from seventy percent reading proficiency to forty percent. And you would think you're bragging on that the. Scores were lies, right, It wasn't. It was never seventy percent. And she said, just this weekend, the school superintendent, which she said, if you want to know who the slimiest people are school superintendents, be careful of who you elect on your school boards or your school boards choose. He wrote an editorial that went into either the Washington Post or the Richmond Times saying how she had ruined the scores and that now that she's gone, they will get back to their seventy percent. Well, how do you think that's going to happen. Well, of course it'll happen, But how does that help the student that can't read? Exactly? And that's what was happening they had literally people that were graduating not being able to read. So during her tenure, Youngkin made Virginia a requirement to have a level of reading proficiency. Okay, now, hard to believe that we weren't like that before. Yeah, there's only six states that require that. Oh my god, Virginia is one of them. Reading. We're not talking about algebra and do you know who the culprit is and all these things the teachers unions? Oh of course yes. So here's some things that they've started requiring. Critical thinking that is so important. Man. Critical thinking is something that we used to take that is not had not been no chromebooks in elementary schools. Amen, no cell phones in any school. Remember how big that was. And by the way, chromebooks in elementary school. She asked us as parents, and to spread the word is to read a book, not to your kid, read a book so your kid sees you reading a book. Just to be that kind of a parent because it's so important. And find a color and book. She said, this thing, this is really cool. I mean you might like this. Being instill in education. They did a study where they did those little things to a kid's brain and like neurons measuring the activity of your brain. The same teacher gave the same essay that she was reading instructions to the kids. She did it on a screen and then she read this same thing in front of the kids in front of them, and the two readings were done. It's a seventy percent increase in activity by the teacher being in front of the teacher. So the point was, we're not going remote. It's the worst thing that we could have done. Absolutely, So that was cool. I had not heard this part of the problem international teachers. I had not heard this lack of teachers school boards. I mean superintendent's out there are hiring who they can hire. In one of the counties, one of the school board moms raised their hand and told this story. One of the teachers that they hired had only been in this country for five months. Wow, fondled a kid. Because background checks only could background someone that had been here five months. There was no way to check the international So they're trying to change that. So it was cool, really cool stuff. It was yep. And this was a forget that they gave us for sponsoring. You got that on the camera there, Emma, and I'll give that to Woody leave it here for him. Yeah. Yeah, cool, that's what it was. So that's awesome. Appreciate y'all. Let me do that and uh sponsoring it, and. That was associated life, liberty, happiness being there. Yep, all right, yeah, to stay in history, Stay in history. Nineteen seventy one. Yeah, they performed the US performed its first nuclear test at the Nevada test site. Do you remember in the eighties growing up, those movies of like showing what happens when a nuclear bomb goes donation? Yeah, it was Sean Ryan that first. I was watching his show when it first dawned on me when he said, you know what happened? How did the cameras stay there? Yeah? So I do think we were duped. Of course, some of that is some of it was production for sure. Because you remember how like it would explode and like the whole city just evaporated and you would see the wave come across. How did the camera Yeah, it never dawned on me and it was completely stationary. Yeah, yep, it's crazy. So you know what you did for me there right there? It's it's one of those words that I know is a definite division when I hear people talk. So for me, it's nuclear. You say it the way George Bush? Is it nuclear nuclear? Yeah? Yeah, nuclear, it's nuclear nuclear, not nuclear nuclear. Yeah, my god, it's hot, sweating. I probably wouldn't have it. Am I having to sit right before the show? Did she cut the hair? It was on heat? But I turned it. What the heat on? They all do? It's all on heat, all right? In nineteen eighty five, can't read your writing. It's my turn. The summit between Gorbachev and Reagan. Wow, yeah, that was uh yeah, that was terrific. That was the one where we got what we wanted because we were able to walk away and not agree. Yes. And Ronald Reagan actually killed something that weekend the house that they were staying in. He killed the fish, the goldfish. It's true story. It's in his book Never Heard Us. Oh, you should read his book. It's phenomenal. Huh. Literally, he had told his staff, if I can get Golbachev away and spend some time with him one on one, will will this will work out. So he was staying in a house on a lake, you know, a host family had had given their house or whatever, and the house had a little which called recreational house down by the lake. So Secret Service two things happened. Secret Service was supposed to go in, get the fire, going, get everything, and then he was gonna meet Goldchoff there separate on media. Nobody was supposed to know. You know, Secret Service set the damn place on fire, no joke. The chimney caught on fire. They had to put it out, They had to literally paint the room, read all this before they got it done. And it did happen. But while they were staying there that weekend, the fish died. So Reagan had Secret Service or whomever you know, go purchase a new fish and put it in the bowl. He gets a letter from the kid later on that says, how thoughtful you replace the fish that died? Like he found out about it, but it was just so it was in his book, as you know, one of the fun things. Yeah, it was a good dude, Reagan was, yes, yep. So anyway, that's that's cool. Moving on to drama. It's a State phe commercial on there. It will if you let a professional get to it. Oh, I just assumed in your syllabus when state Phone commercial was ahead of drama that we missed it. It was, but Eric cut off because you went long on your six hour presentation. Well so I'm trying to stay within the thinks here, Emma turns. An air on. At least it wasn't an interview. Of I'll come back. To that. Yeah what. At least it wasn't the interview of Sean Ryan. What do you mean that ten hour interview discussion you gave? I will stop this show right now. Landman is back. Yeah? Uh first episode? Did you watch it? Oh? It's all right back on. Yes. I can only do one thing at a time, so. Okay, yeah, so yeah, it's back, going out of it. But now you got to wait each week to watch one. Yes, No, I can't do that. I mean, does it say how many we're gonna have this season? It does? I don't think. So. Sometimes you can click on the episodes and I'll just say, you know coming soon, don't that please? I don't kill yourself? Yeah or me? I wish this is on video. Let's see if I can. What are we doing here? It's literally a button. You don't have to climb up to it. Well, it's gonna take a while to switch. You think you just hit a button and it goes from heat to cool. This isn't Southern Air it maybe it'd be nice to be sponsored by Southern Air. What he's doing, it will restart up. It has to as a compressor. You're a thermostat. Shout out to one of our loyal listeners, Adam. You need to have him on in Southern there you go, all right, Yes, it's no need to fix it. Hey, do we have a do we have a permanent Carolina Kevin picture to put on when Carolina Kevin calls? No, but Marty thought that was a great idea. Well, oh we wanted to do that. Yeah. Uh, anyway, Uh, I'll email Emma one. Yeah, we'll have to. Talk about our care packages later. Oh yeah, I can't I own a care package. He didn't send you one, no, nothing, So. Who was this? My brother? No? Oh he requested to follow me? You said, no, I forgot. Uh. Tucker had the Crooks thirty minute documentary right? Yeah? Was that good? It was riveting? Okay, it was exactly how Tucker does things, which you have to be a little careful right now because Tucker is getting slam by so many people right now, and it is absurd the things that they are getting that they're saying about him. Okay, because I'll watch almost all of them, I have a theory on that. Yeah, well I know what it is. What go ahead? Well, I mean Trent for years, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN, they're all fighting over advertising dollars, right, Yeah, now that the major networks have pretty much lost everything. Yeah, people are listening to Tucker Meghan Kelly absolutely, you know. And so you're still fighting over the same advertising dollars. Yeah, so when things aren't going your way, you're going to start knife in the person that's getting all the advertising dollars. True, And I think a lot of. That is that. And you, for some reason in today's day at age, you can't have a differing opinion on anything, no exactly or else You're done. Then he's crazy. Yeah, got an anti Semite, right, all that stuff, it's just stupid. So I've watched enough of him to know that he predicted around April that was going to start happening. It was going to be because of his stance about Israel. Sure, the anti Natya who stopped, Not that he's anti any of that. Just stop saying yes to everything, you know, don't get into war with Iran so that type of thing. Yeah, so and you can be wrong about that, yeah, and he can be right and he can be wrong. There's a he's got an hour long I start last night, but I just since I watched the Times Crooks one, I couldn't keep doing it. But it was the line was great. I am not fighting Mark Levin, I'm fighting not to be Mark Lovan. Sure, oh it was a great line. So but the Thomas Crooks thing, it will infuriate you. I am infuriated, and it gets and it's also upsets me that Dan Bongino and Cash Bettel keep coming up there and saying and we said this on the podcast, or I did I know? I did? Is Stop telling me there's a nothing burger there when you haven't told me what you've seen. Show me show me that it's a nothing burger. Stop telling me you've seen the stuff and there's nothing there. We'll tell me what you have. And the stuff that Tucker showed that he found, it was almost like Wiki Leaks was able to find the thing. They kept telling us that Thomas Crooks was not an online guy. He did not know online was. Yes, he definitely had it and he oh it was. It was a post after post after post that he showed you what it was, and then they're the guy that he was talking to. Who is the guy? You know what I mean? So it's so much of that stuff, but he hits some things and I don't want to give it up because it's a good thirty minutes. It's only thirty minute one versus two hour ones. Very very worth watching. Good yep, And tonight's the final episode of Who Lose Murdoch? Is that any different than the other ones? So much better? Oh, really, so much better because it fills in the blanks with dialogue, so it's it's an act and the people that are acting, you know how, they do a really good job of finding characters that look like the people and and it even says at the beginning of the show, this is fictitious, but it's based on their research. So certainly somebody was on the inside to have told him as much as they told him, it's really well done. Somebody brought up the point the other day, what was his motivation for killing them both? Like, what's the motive there? I don't think I'm giving up anything by saying this. When you're under a the drugs that he was taking, but be the stress that he was doing and the stress a lot of dude in a lot of stress that was put on him was outside of what his control was because of his son, which now he's under financial investigations because the people that are investigating his son are trying to sue them and he's trying to get out of the lawsuits and he can't get out of them. And so the day, the very next day is when he's supposed to give his deposition about his financials. So anger of his son that kept getting in trouble and b his wife was then going to find out that he was going to have to sell the house of the beach that she was at the exact time renovating because they had separated. Yeah, she only came back to that to the town to see his dad who was dying. I got you, So this was a chance to not have her find out about his issues. All right, Drahma is brought to you by State.

Headlines ABC News Senate officially passes the release of the Epstein files. There's no other big news than that. It's ridiculous. NBC News Epstein files bill heads to Donald Trump's desk for.

I do think obviously we've handled it the way the wrong way. If you could let everything go, now, why couldn't we have done it five months ago when it was big? Who gives a damn? Let it go? Okay, I don't know what you're going to get, I guess, is what I'm saying. How would you know? I think, well, I think you're getting ready to and I think you're gonna go there. I don't care. There's got to be more. So why I hold it? Well, I think that's it. I think somebody's saying, it doesn't matter what you released, they're always gonna say they're not holding that's the case. You could have done it five months ago. Okay, why'd you make it a big story? Let it go, all right, that's what I'm saying. That's we handled it wrong. It's been. It's all we've given the dims for five months is bitching about Epstein. They literally ruined our government for Epstein thirty forty days and as soon as they went on a Sunday vote to put the government back on it's Epstein again. Sure, so tired of that story. He's on my not thankful list. Perfect, all right, moving on to sports. Yeah, it's time for sports. All right. Virginia Tech, that is a big story. Obviously, the deadlines everywhere. Virginia Tech got their man. James Franklin was introduced as the new Virginia Tech Hokies head football coach. I was shocked by that. Actually I was too. I was shocked that they were able to pull him from two SEC schools. I thought, for sure he's the guy that they should get. Yes, I just really thought with all the big openings that he would choose a bigger school or a you know, an SEC school or something like that. Yeah, and obviously I got a text from UVA fan yeah that said, you know, the first big ten job that opens up her SEC job. He's going there, and I'm like, well, wait a minute, he had an opportunity to go to an SEC school and he didn't. So I watched his press conference today. I was you put an f Yeah, like f oh, I thought you were saying this is a f higher like it's hell, I'm mad that they got him. Yeah, I think he's a good coach. Of course. I got a video from the same guy that you know, shows this guy talking about how horrible James Franklin is as a coach. Right, you mean the guy that won a Vanderbilt and the guy that took Penn State to top five. Look, I looked at him. I had no idea. In ten years they finished in the top ten every time, and then I think it was like five times, and then when they were outside they never finished outside the top twenty five. I'm pretty sure if you do that at Tech will have a lot of happy people. Yeah, I would think so. So I will say this though, unless it's got to be nil money, and maybe that's what they've promised him in order for him to show up, is to be able to spend more on players. That's what Virginia's secret was this year, so I'm sure that's the case. But I remember thinking, who's the last guy pry I thought he was. The perfect guy. Yeah, he talked a lot about which I loved. Got that they had such a long relationship. Prize started with him when Franklin first started. Brent Prize's dad was James Franklin's offensive coordinator when he was in college, so there's a long relationship between them two. So I think Brent had a lot. You would think the guy that just got fired wouldn't be suggesting, but I think he was the guy pushing James to go there too, which is great for Virginia Tech. If you've got to coach you fired, saying hey, it's a great place. With that being said, he said something in the in the press conference trend that may kind of contradict what you're saying about, and I he did mention in il, but what he said was, you've got to be careful. You're either going to be a transfer school that has to rebuild every year with transfers, or you're gonna or you're going to build a team off of high school and you're gonna plug in transfer first to be able to get your young people to the next level, right, And he said, I'm going to be the guy that recruits high school, so you know, we'll see how works. But I mean they had already announced that they were using more of their. Yes, yeah, he did say he you know, we'll have to go out and get pieces, but we're not. He's he stuff I never thought about. He said, if you're going to live by the transfer portal, you're basically going to die by it too, because you had these these kids aren't transferring in for three years, right, they're transferring in for one year and they're gone. So I saw a really good piece by It was on a real It was the Georgia coach Kirby. Did you see that where they asked him about kids who didn't want didn't like his tough practices, that they leave. Yeah, and then he said what do they think about What does he think about losing those kids to those schools? He said, well, that's who we schedule. Yeah, if that's the school that you're going to, yeah, that's who we want to go. That's exactly right. I thought that was a heck of a line, and it's true. That's the thing. And so I'm interested to see how he does there. He reminded us that he's had a few good players at Penn State that that weren't transfers, Saquon Barkley and Parsons Michael Parson. I mean, these are NFL Hall of famers probably heading in that direction. So anyway, this weekend, I. Just had Virginia can get one end before they get another twelve game losing streak to. Him, Tony Elliott might be the guy that the thing of it is is can you keep Tony? Yeah? Is he gonna end up leaving? You know? He says it's the school he's retiring. It could be this year. It would have been this year if he had schedule. Yeah, all right. Upset losses this weekend in college football. Alabama and Texas, both of them. Know, whendn't you say they were upsets? Didn't they lose Georgia Texas? Yeah, Alabama lost, but Texas lost as well. Upset losses. I know, I'm saying Georgia. Texas lost at Georgia, right. Yeah, you wouldn't say that's an upset? Yeah, well you wouldn't, not really? Wow, Alabama Oklahoma. I thought about that one too, And I don't know everybody's gonna lose. I mean, it's nobody's so good, So who's except for Ohio State. You don't think they'll lose Ohio State? Yeah, I mean, I guess I don't know enough about it, but it seems like they're murdering people. Well they only I mean, there's only two more games left in the season, so and then they'll lose the Michigan that's the thing. That's the one I was going to say, Yeah, really, the only tough and then you've got Indiana in the championship game. Yeah, so we at least get to see that matchup, right, Yeah, that's gonna be nice. Yeah. First of all, I don't know if you saw the clip. Pat McAfee had it on What an Idiot God. He was so good at the start at Pitt. Was so he was his show. They played the clip of the spokesman for the BOWLD Championship playoff picture or whatever it's called, an idiot justifying Notre Dame being ahead of Texas and Miami like that was the question that Rhys Davis had get asked him, right, and he said, well, we look at head to head, we look at losses, and since they hadn't played anybody in common. We just looked at Notre Dame schedule and it was tougher. That was his answer. Well, there's one major problem. They lost. They played each other. Yeah, yeah, that's ridiculous. And Pat's like, what are we doing, Like at some point in time, just say what it really is. Let just be honest. Hey, you know there's people in. This committee kind of favor Notre Dame more so than this, and we you know, there's twelve people, so we argue, and we came up with that why not just be honest? Why why lie and say we couldn't find a matchup in common when they freaking played each other? Ridiculous? This weekend Oklahoma Missouri, that could be a trip up for Oklahoma. Yeah, and USC at Oregon. That's where college game Day is going to be. I would have rather had Tennessee and Florida College game Day at Florida. Yeah, I guess Florida's just so down. Well, they've already been the Oregon this year. Oh yeah, that was that was a great college game day. That said, I kind of like that one because it's dark, yeah, and then it lightens up. So he said, it's like going into a bar at night and coming out. He's probably just left the bar. So anyway, college football should be fun. What is I got? Tennessee at Florida. It's been twenty two years since Tennessee has beaten Florida at Florida? Shut up? Yeah, was that T Martin? That's what I was going to ask you? What quarterback? Was it? T Martin? No? It was. Case Keenum, Casey Casey Well Casey. Shoot, now I forgot I looked it up. I was like, oh, I forgot about that guy. God, I don't know who t QB Casey Casey something Casey. Yeah, I had had it memorized. It ain't case Keenum, No, Well, case Casey Clawson, Clawson. You remember that guy. Yeah, he's kind of a backup service guy. Yeah, he's a coach somewhere now, huh. Anyway, that was the quarterback twenty two years ago. Yep, I guess T Martin would have been before that. I probably already got a text from Dave. Oh my god, he's mad. He's still mad about the loss. They're ready to fire h what's his name down there at Alabama, don't you think? Yeah? Well, I'm sure they are, like everybody at Alabama wants to fire the guy because he's not nick saving. But come on, they're going to still. Make the they always give you. He doesn't match the culture. Oh yeah right. Don't you think he's gonna make the playoffs anyway? Yes, of course, So just be happy this Thanksgiving gift. Thanks that's right, you should NFL. Do you think Case. Is in super Bowl? Super Bowl? Oh you got them making the playoffs? Yeah? Playoffs. Yeah, they're five and five. That's still they got seventeen games. Now, okay, some more I put you know, here are some of the surprises. I mean, that was one of the best games of the NFL season. Yes, I mean the they have a I mean, obviously they're in the same division, but man, it's like they're they're the primetime game every weekend. Yeah. So they've had a heck of a season, tough, tough season. The surprises for me have obviously been the Patriots Colts in the Denver Broncos. Yeah, but because Denver's winning it with defense. Yeah, that's what's so awesome about Denver. They haven't even hit their offensive. What I love is how much crap that coach took when he got there with the Russell Wilson thing Sean Baton, and then you know, I think of Michael Wilbond just chewing him out and hating them and all that stuff. The two people he ates the most is that coach and Aaron Rodgers. It's like and it's all political. Yep. So here's what I find interesting about Sean Payton. You went to Denver and the defensive coordinator that you got was the guy that Denver fired as a head coach, Yes, Vance Joseph, that Michael Wilbond hated because he didn't they only gave him a year. All right, Well he got him back to Denver to be a defensive coordinator. So how good is Sean Payton? That's pretty cool and by the way, to me, the best stephens in football right now? Yeah, I mean phenomenal. Yeah. When you said about who's surprises, I tell you there's one that when I looked at standings that kind of snuck up on them. The Bears are like the third best team in the or NFCZ and the Panthers they're like six and five. Really, Yeah, that's crazy, my'd you give him a look? I didn't see her justifying that I wouldn't have known, but shocked. Mean, I thought they were gonna be down there with the Redskins down there at the bottom. I didn't see that from the Redskins this year, to be honest. Well, the way I looked at it is maybe last year was the anomaly and they just still suck. That's the road going on. Yeah, and it ruined my fantasy league because I was so hoping that they were the next Chiefs. You know, they look like the last I know, Emma, and I fantasy league drafted all of them on my team. About how great of an off season I'm oh to ten. I know they brought in Deebo Samuel was going to be the year. Yeah. Is it half their team out there with injuries? Yes, that's what hurt. Of course. Listen, I mean if Mahomes wasn't on Kansas City, they would suck to So you can't lose Mahomes. Not that Jayden Daniels is that caliber, but still Michael Parsons, if he can't have the season that he had last year, then you can't be that good. If you're Michael Parsons, you left for the Packers. Yeah, what's their record? The Packers in the Cowboys. Cowboys say four, five. And one, and the Packers are I told you five when you were all upset about the trade. Is not to be upset about it, one person doesn't. Cowboys like four defensive players here recently and they still got all those draft picks. Did you watch Cowboys on Monday? Yes, they still looked pretty good. They do look good, no, I said. But as Trent always says, this is November. But also to see what they look like. Raiders didn't look that bout either, even though. Their records linked to the Raiders are awful. They Hey, I like their tight end. They're awful. Rocks perverted. Crosby too, He's awesome. Anyway, moving on, speaking of Vegas. Yeah, that's where f want will be this weekend. Kidding, Yes, I can't wait for that. You don't know anything about the NBA. So we didn't talk f one the last time, and I wanted to talk to you about it. So going into that weekend for Stapping is behind both McLaren drivers, right, still mathematically available or within the hunt. Uh. He goes into qualifying and qualifies eighteenth. Wow, So they change an engine, right, So he starts in the back midway through the race, Homie is leading the race. You're kidding, And I'm just like, this can't happen like this, something is wrong, like he hasn't done a pit stop or something. No, so he did have to pit again, but he cycles second. He ends up finishing second in the race. Now he has happened new engine. With the rest of the races, I don't think he can catch Lando, but I do think he will pass Piastree, which to me is an amazing feat compared compared to where he was because at the time Pastre was way ahead of everybody. He's just had an awful Yeah. Yes, So anyway, let's see how Vegas goes this weekend. It's going to be interesting. You're still racing the pig. That's what they call the track. If you look, you know how the you know how you look up at the corner. Yeah, if you look up the corner, it looks like a pig land down. No. No, I promise you type F one pig track and you'll see the track layout. F one pig Vegas track and I'll bet you'll see that. Let's go to Vegas. Pig track. There it is. See if it doesn't, Yeah, see if it's got a namage on it. Yeah, barely looks like a pig. Barely look the right, I said, it looks like a pig laying down. That barely looks what is the reddit? It's a pig laying down, all right? They even traced it out for you. There, Homer or Simpson holding up the. Pig that barely looks like a pig. You just want to argue it's a home. Anybody that saw that. If you went up to ten people the new animals and asked them if what that track look like, they would say a pig. Caitlyn might know what Sue? Yeah? What is her pigs names? Sue? Why do we have that scene? That has bothered me? Who this is? This is a similar Yeah, this is one of my clips. Yeah, we should have we're getting ready. We should have hit her though that that's not what I'm not thankful for. This will make you sick to your stomach. Yeah, do you ask what her pigs names were? Yeah, Sue, Poo Lou, Rue Tubby. Mm hm. They got four. Pigs Cherry Terry, Carry, Sue Poo, Lou Root, and. Jennifer sup Poore Lou. They should have five pigs. One's in the house. So my dad's family. What Brian is alluding to my dad is Jerry and then her Sherry, Terry, Perry and carry. Did you do Perry on purpose? Did I? Yeah? He named Perry, I named after my uncle. I didn't know, well, now you do. I meant like the theme is that an eye roll? All right? Moving on, what's happened? It's time news? All right? So I found this video which I found disgusting, but I wanted to talk about it because we oftentimes avoid the issue of abortion. Where I think Republicans make a massive mistake about and Christians is they think, you know, it's none of our business, we should just stay out of it. Right. Here's the problem. While you're doing that, you have a group of society that is constantly educating younger people that end up thinking like this girl and it just too I'm this is what happens when you change the conversation from is it a human being? If so, when does it become a human being? You know? They then they go to, well what about in cases of rape and insc. You know, we can have those discussions. Those are abortion discussions. The problem is they change the narrative to my body, my choice, right. And this is what happens when you educate a group of people with my body, my choice, they become numb to what a human being really is. There's a lot in our society is doing that. Oh oh yeah, not just this scares me when I hear that murder and death. And so this is a interaction between someone on a college campus talking to a person who is speaking against abortion. And if you listen to the person who's speaking against abortion, she's not saying you're a terrible person. She's saying, how can we help you? Okay, So Charlie's way cut one. So I've had an abortion. Do you think I'm an evil person for abortion? I'm not, and I'm not sorry. She felt like you didn't have to choose. No, I want to choose that you wanted to choose to have an abortion. Yes. Were you excited to have your abortion? No? It was the most painful process I've ever been through and I will do it again one thousand percent. What made you feel like you had to choose abortion? I chose it because it was my choice to make, and because I didn't want to bring a child into a world that's. Dying, that the world is dying. Yes, the world is dying. How is that going to help the world from not dying? Well? Why having a kid while I'm trying to go through college and support my family? How would that benefit me? Well? Do you think your life is just about you? Yeah, it is, because it's my life. Do you think you have any duty as a member of our society or do you think your body or your life is met for anything greater than just your own pursuits? No? Is there any points to this life? No? I feel really sorry for you. I don't, but I feel really bad that you have an abortion. I hope that's great for you. Standing with you dot org, you get resources, and if you ever find yourself pregnant again. I would afford it immediately. Again, I hope there wouldn't there seconds something less extreme that I'm. Gonna get sterilized next year. Actually, that's really sad. That's really sad. It's not sad. I'm sorry you feel that you have to do that. I'm ending my bloodline and I am. Proud of that. I feel I feel really I have nothing but simplest be for you, because I feel truly sorry for you. No, I mean they gave each other high five. That's but you and I both know that's indoctrination right there. Oh yeah, I mean she left there. Sad she left there. If she'd seen that film with her friends, they would be celebrating and calling the lady that was sympathetic a kook. Yeah. So sad that we've gotten to that point. I mean there's a lot of you know, there's a lot of people that have had to make a rough choice in that decision and it hauntsome the rest of their life. But for that, that's disgusting. Yeah, I mean that's disgusting. But and you tell you where where they hear it from. I don't know. If you saw the interview with Stevie Nicks, she basically said, I had to make a choice when Fleetwood Mac and I chose to have an abortion because the world wouldn't have gotten to seeing Fleetwood Mac. That was her I mean, and she's celebrating it. It would have ruined my career. Yeah, well, you would hope that when someone turns an older age can understand where she was wrong on that. Yeah. I hope she finds God and great and maybe Stevie Nick still can Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's that's sad. It is sad, yep. All right. So moving on from that depressing Yeah. Maybe I'm thankful my mom didn't have that. Yes, uh, the Unaffordable Care Act. Oh you didn't do Epstein files? Did I skip? That was your one? All right, I'll go back to that right now. We need to talk about it, okay, right now with the Unaffordable I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm watching commercials now from insurance companies that are saying, please contact your congressman to continue the tax credit. Maybe we have for profit companies now follow the dollar doing advertising to tell you to tell congressmen to take your tax dollars and give it to us, or else we're going to raise your tax bills or your interests. It's crazy. Now onto the Epstein files. My immediate theory on this piece of legislation that passed. You said you called it the mishandling, which that's perfectly fine. You can absolutely say that and be justified by saying it. However, politics sometimes there is legislation that I say absolutely does nothing, and like one of I'll give you a real quick example that I think of marijuana when people think it's legal to smoke marijuana now in Virginia, Right, they decriminalized it, but you still can be arrested and still given a citation for a fine for smoking marijuana. It's not legal. I don't know that, right, But your congressman can come back and go, hey, we legalize marijuana because we pass legislation that allows you to do it. Doesn't mean you can't be fine for it. But I mean, you know stuff like that. And I look at this legislation and I'm afraid that what you're going to find out is that you're going to get documents that mean and say nothing to you. There's nothing there or there's no smoking gun that we keep thinking is there. Well, first off, I don't understand the process. How does Congress and the President get to dictate what the Justice Department has to release? Like again, I still don't understand that. I don't understand. So they were holding onto this until the president tells them to release it. Well, the President told him earlier this week to release it, and now Congress passes a bill for him to sign to release it. I'm not understanding the whole situation. It makes. I thought that The reason we don't know anything yet is because there's a judge out there that won't let the documents get released. That is true, and that's still going to happen, by the way. So yeah, that's what I'm saying. So how does the President signing something change any of that? It doesn't. And that's what I'm afraid of is we have screamed for something that's not. Here's why I know one that this is bs. Yeah, they all agreed. Yeah, you can't tell me. If there was stuff to hide, there would be opposition. There was no opposition. So okay, I do agree with you that at the end of the day, everybody's going to be disappointed because, and this is my hunch on it, is that Trump wasn't implicated in anything, right, Okay. So the other reason I think that that's the case, well, obviously we've said this in the past. If it had earlier than the Biden administration would have done it, right, somebody in the FBI would have read and shown that he was the pedophile. However, if with him not in it, I'm already seeing people saying the Republicans are scrubbing the information to retract any Republicans from being in the documents, and I think this is like, here we go, there's nothing that's going to come of this that people are going to go, Okay, it's all transparent. They're going to keep saying it. So again, I will I rely on listening to Alan Dershowitz because he's been involved in all the trials. Right, So he said, here's the reason why this is a very bad thing. There's not this smoking gun that you're gonna find. However, here's what you are going to find. You're going to find a witness that now has documents that are going to be released that say Donald tru I have video of Donald Trump, I have video of Bill Clinton all with underage girls. Those videotapes were given to Russia to hold on to for my safety. That's been testified under oath. You're gonna get that document, and what's going to happen with CBS News. They'll say that there's Russia's holding back to information. And they're going to run with that, and that's going to be the next scandal. Yeah, here's a problem with that. That same person also was charged because they lied under oath and retracted every bit of that saying all that was made up. There's no such thing that's not going to be released because the moves me is not gonna Why would you run that? So he said, that's the problem. What has been kept back are those unverifiable stories, and now those unveri verifiable stories are going to be out. Yeah, so we've just opened up Pandora's box. I just I'm just hoping that this thing goes away because there's nothing there and people need to move on. But not good example. Not doing it has made it horrible. Did you get all the Martin Luther King files released? Apparently? I thought we had, right. Did anything come of that? Right? Exactly? You know, I just right. If the government was holding stuff back, they're not going to release it even if they're told to release it. Yeah. I mean that's I know. So that's why I quit. Asked like ores at this point? Yeah. Uh so. Last so the I guess she saw the news where the black lady congresswoman was interviewing somebody on a House committee and Epstein is texting her. I cannot believe that. Okay, So she's up there and she's getting text messages. She's literally saying the things that he tells her to say, it's corroborated. It's on a few news stations about it. So last night they go to censure her. Yes, right, stupid, it's the whole thing. We're going to censor you. That's our penalty. And it doesn't pass. Correct. Three Republicans okay, stopped it. Do you know why the three Republicans stopped it? Now? Three voted against it, three voted in absentia, right, like I'm not there. So it was enough that she's not going to that dude. I love this guy from Tennessee. I talk about him all the time, did Tim Burchett? Okay? I follow him on TikTok and he always tells hear what's going on. And the reason that they voted not to censor her is because there was a Republican that had an Ethics Committee investigation going on. And guess what got dropped. Oh, of course they dropped the Ethics committee violation. So now enough Republicans didn't vote for the censor. I'm so tired of that stuff. Yep. It's politics, Yeah, and it's ridiculous. Yep. All right, moving on to a refreshing story that's not refreshing. Yeah, I got a phone call from a person who lives in Raleigh. Okay, okay, they said on the this week, on the way to work, they got a radio message that there were winter weather advisory huh in Raleigh, and that this was also being reported on some TV stations. When you go to the weather, there's no winter weather advisory. Went to weather, right, Yeah, She's like, wait a minute, there's nothing on my app that says it's supposed to snow or anything. Why is there being an advisory Trenton, You're gonna think I'm lying? Okay, local news media, what's going on in Raleigh? In Charlotte right now? The ice yes raids? This is them alerting neighborhoods that ice is coming to your neighborhood. You're kidding, I'm not joking. So when the weather says it's a snow, it means ice is coming. This is what was going on this week in Raleigh. Wow, she said, I I know this because the story that came on after that was that localities are blowing whistles now in the neighborhoods where the ice raids are coming to warn people like Paul Revere. What advantage do you have of that? I don't understand it either. Oh man, but we have local news media being a part of this. My daughter, who lives in Charlotte, texted our group today Ice raate. She lives in Charlotte, she says, and you know she's an engineer. She does what I do. You know, she's twenty six. She said, ice rays are halting industry in Charlotte. This week was on a construction call for one of my projects. That site typically has eleven hundred employees on the site every day. Today there's five hundred, okay, And I replied back, higher americans. That's exactly what I told my sister. Yeah, because what you got. My sister got a text message alert or something. At work. There will be ice agents. You know, you may see them in the hospital, right, yeah, if they have, they've been pre approved with some type of warrant. Blah blah blah, this that and the other. It just was a protocol to go by, right, what are we doing? Like? And she said this same thing. People were saying, well, productivity might be down. No productivity is fine, Yeah, like we should we should be hiring Americans. Yeah, exactly, increase wages. So she did say one of her friends is an immigrant that is here legally and is infuriated of those who are here illegally exactly because. She works to get here. Yes, to do it right. It's almost like working and paying taxes and other people who don't work get your tax money. Yeah, that's the same. Yeah, I thought you would be interested in the weather alert in North Carolina right now. That is unbelievable. It goes along with the video I saw this week of ice agents that were staking out a house and a a guy shows up in a backpack and starts taking pictures of their van. Within minutes, here shows the ABC News CBS, and then here comes the protesters. Yeah, it was like clockwork. And he said, they follow us. That's what I say, man, Just keep doing the right thing, keep throwing them out, keep your blinders on, and just keep working all right. Moving on to post of the week by an idiot. I actually saw this TikTok, and I thought I would insert this into the post of the week only because I found it very entertaining. Yeah, and this describes New York, right, What's going on in New York with Mom Donnie. So this is a cut too. It's on Mom Donnie's married New York. So everything's free now can I get there? Mom Donnie's special one free hot dog and I'm Denny. Let's I'm Denny free. Hot dog special. Everything's free now almost that'll be a four sixty eight. No, no, it's supposed to be free. It's mom Donnie's New York. Now, everything's free. Who well, I'm not gonna play for it. Just get one of these. I'll get these and i'll gotta keeck cut. Thank you? What are you doing? Everything's free now? Nothing because this is one of the those Mum Donnie grocery stores where everything's free. No, no, so I have to pay New mayor, they said, they told. Me, whatever it is, it's not a government. Oh it's not. Can I get a free rode to Central Park? There you go, it's free. Transport Southwest free so runs in New York City. Come on, jump over and get the door for me. Okay, there we go, Thank you, thank you. It isn't that what you would think? Yeah, it's coming free. Everything's free, free. You have to pay for nothing. Oh so that was my post of the week. Cool Now to a little more refreshing win win win. We're gonna win, win, win and we're gonna make America great again. I love when we get like he has to go down as the funniest president of all time? Does he not easily? Hands down? Yeah? All right, so let's see what we're in store for. Cut three. I love the FED job to be it's easiest job in the world. You play golf for twenty eight twenty nine days, then you go and make a little speech tell everybody, in the case of the current guy, the wrong information because he has no clue. But if you have good instincts, you know it's all based on instincts. I see they want to hire three thousand economists, three thousand to report to the FED chairman. What are they going to take all this in? Three thousand economists? That's why they're spending four billion dollars on renovating a building that should have cost twenty five million bucks to do. That's awesome. So yeah, hey, by the way, back to the illegal immigrant. Yeah, okay, there's two things that probably the hottest topics the eight months that are eleven months that we've been in under Trump. Okay, tariffs and the illegal immigrants, or two of the top ten for sure, two of the top five, maybe all right. The great thing about both of them is you can adjust. Yes, For example, if you kick out all the ice people and you lost all the workers and you hired the Americans that you could hire. What you could do is legally do an import like you could change the number like, hey, we will have this many documented workers. Yep, but you got to do through a documented process. Sure. Listen, I don't think anybody it's cared yeah about immigration being legal like that. We if you want to make it right, you can't just walk across the damn border idiots. Such one thing we all agree could happen better with today's technology is it shouldn't be a twenty year process, right, you know we can shave this down to a year or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, So that is something that we should be able to fix. Yeah, but we won't because we'll do all the smoke and mirrors and immigration and this and we care so much about you. So tariffs too, is the same exact thing. Who tariffs gets you to the negotiation table? Correct, you can release them? Then who what did they say? Who will pick our fruit? It's one of the most racist things you ever said. And yet what are the racist people? What is wrong with you. But that's what they say. Yeah, yeah, the view talks about it. That's just come on, who's going to pick. Who's gonna lay our brick? All right, we're moving on to Mount rushmore of thankful things in my life. Yeah, in honor of uh, Thanksgiving Day next week because we most likely will be off. Trent has divorced dad Wednesday. Yeah, that's part of my whirlwind. I never got to finish that parent now go hunt two days and then with divorced dead Wednesday, Thanksgiving and then we had to Thanksgiving done, and Raleigh today Sunday. Talk about what we're thankful for, although apparently he has not come up with the list. He's come up with what he doesn't isn't thankful? No, I got that too, Okay, you give up both, then I scan it and send it one. He is the one up. Yeah. I can't just be thankful's got to be not thankful. I need. Just emma, don't don't be a follower, don't. Yeah, yeah, okay, get going. Did we do the idiot post of the week? Yeah? What was your idiot? What is he really serious? Right now? What was it? Yeah? Look at his face? So you weren't paying attention. No, he did. He said he liked that, or he said. That I know, but now he's quest talking about the weather thing. No, what was the post? I never got to do mark, Yeah, because you didn't talk. About the clip. Oh okay, I thought I I thought it was a MIMI. I was waiting for a mimi. Plus, I don't see cut three written anywhere. It's on my sheet. Thank you. You got to cut three. Two and then it to come three. Where do you see cut three? Spoop on, show me your sheet. The show's cut three. You're an idiot. She's got it too, got it right here, man, you are sabotage in my show. So to see the sabotage to see my show? What did you want to hear? Mine YouTube dot com search at l l H Underscore podcast. So you can see there's a three on a click on subscribe. Yeah, make sure you do that. That way you can watch this. Idiot literally literally not pay attention at all. No, I was waiting for a post, usually the post. Of the week. Even explained he didn't do a post of the week. He literally was asleep. I was not to watch the whole damn thing. The best one is we get to go back and watch this to figure out what you were doing. When I explained I watched it, I know you watched it, but you apparently didn't hear what I said. I heard all you got to go back and see a space. When he said, did you do a post of the week? I have to do it back to that because he's like, so dumbfound. My sheet doesn't say cut to Okay, you sabotaged me. What's your post of the week? I know what. I just asked. The post of the week is before win win win on my sheet. But we already did that, correct, and we're not in that order? Someone, Yes we did. We literally did it in that order. Then we did when when when I think we need. To pause the show, go back and all right, move on Mount rushmore a thankful thing Trump sudden release of the Epstein files. What I was reading my post of the week? Oh my god, that's what this is all about. Yeah, I didn't get it. We're cutting into have that At time. Hive was just mad because I brought an eight minute segment for the end of the show. We're never going to get to the end of the show. It was Rush Limbaugh's the meaning of Thanksgiving? Go ahead with your damn mount Rushmore, No, what is your Mimi of the week. Trump's sudden release of Epstein File's reversal isn't bold leadership. It's panic dressed up as strategy. He flipped only after losing control of the vote and then tried to gain the process from both ends. Americans see it. The con is loud, sloppy, and not fooling anyone. They can't win. Well, let me ask you this. Do you think maybe the Republicans flipped once Trump flipped, or you think the Republicans flipped before Trump? No idea. But what I think is funny is they what they're really mad at is he does this all the time? Right? He just this reminds me. Do you remember the time, Yeah, he's playing three dimensional chess like Kamala said. Do you remember the time where they said that he had said something that they were going to impeach him because of a phone call, And do you remember what he did? He released the transmit. Same here. Yeah, That's what I'm saying. It's the same thing. Every time they think they have something, right, he just says, okay. Here it is nothing. Would be better, as if there was a videotape of Bill Clinton and the Democrats released it, like that would be great. Yeah, of the cigar. I wonder if Trouble put that in the New ballroom. Oh my god. Yeah, all right, But I am thankful for yeah number one. Yeah, my parents raising me in a Christian home. It's very good. It is one of the most important things in my life. Okay, my family, Obviously, I am thankful for them. I'm thankful that I get to work where I do. Like There's a lot of people that don't get that choice, right, they have to do it to make ends meet and hate their job, and I get to work at a place that I love working at. Yeah, I am thankful that I love sports like I mean, honestly, I could have, you know, been a nerd or something they read books, and. But then you would like I like both. Okay, that was a shot at Emma, Why are you on his side? Then? What for? What? Dumbfounded? Face? Like it was a sheet went. Over and face. Whatever? Uh? And then let's see last, but not least, my friends and colleagues. And the reason I say both is there are times I'm sitting in meetings and I go. Man, if I didn't go through what I went through with different friends and colleagues, there's no way I'd be prepared for this. So I'm very thankful for my mentors, my friends, colleagues and everything. Yeah, that is my mount rushmore of thankful things. So I want me to do Chris's sure, I was gonna pull it up. The listener of the week of the year, the listener of the every week, the listener of the week of the century. His number one is he's thankful for his grandparents' Christian values.

You know, like Thanksgiving we had corn and tobacco and not this one. Coffee I'll wake up. Caffeine gets me through Monday. What coffee do you drink? Uh? Just cold brew with a little bit of creamer like black? What do you do hot? You know, all the all the young kids, none of them drink hot coffee. They all are. It's not strong enough for me when you do, Joe Beans, what do you notice if an old guy like us comes up to pull up, what are they likely to ask for at versus a kid a black coffee? There is one guy that gets like an iced mocha with cold. Foaming Brian French. That's he knows all that stuff. He's the guy that never orders. They just told. It's just not strong enough for me. That's why I drink. I don't drink a lottes like milk. Give me some. What do the what do the like young girls get? What's the typical order? Because my daughter exactly, that's disgusting. I don't understand that. Give me a black ice coffee with a little bit of creamer. That's why I like. The things I'm thankful for. Are you done? Guess, commander? Look at him over there. I think you broke it. I did not want probably. Number one family, what mode is it on? Is it on the little frost? The drip? Oh? Wait for you all to finished?

Oh no, there's a lot of that. Number three my health. That's actually good. I love that I have my health. And you know, I just lost my friend to leukemia, and I just think about, man, how thankful I am that I. Don't have that yet. What did you have something on your foot or something? Me? Yeah, I had gout. No, I think you're talking about. Me and my No, I was talking about him because he's talking about his health, but. Yeah, he's got like one less My ticker is still good and I can still get around and. I've got one less foot. Do what I want to do. You both are losing feet over there. I am very happy and I don't want to step on toes here with Brian, but since he's not listening, he on theirs. My parents are still around. Oh yes, I love that me and my dad went hunting and had that little together moment, you know what I mean. And so my mom she's actually gonna stay at my house and dog sit for us next week at Thanksgiving since Emma couldn't do it over Thanksgiving people everybody else just. Mom's location and get a little hey, but I'll take. Obviously, I'm thankful for God, and I know I didn't write that down. And and then I got kids that well, you know, I can pray and and are happy I'm one of them. I wish was a little more diligent towards that, but I'm still praying for her too. And then work, man, I love that I chose what I did for work, and I love the people I work with, even if it's high stress and very hard to get something done. Sometimes I still love that we build things, and it's I'm very thankful for that things. I'm not thankful for liberal white women, dude, like the one that I know liberal white women. I love white women. White women, all the conservative white women's. Uh, I got Epstein on my list. You remember which that guy had never lived? You remember being at my house, my prayer. You remember being at my house and there was a liberal there and somehow we get to talk about It's like, it's like, I'm going to remember. I don't know if they you're. Talking about, if you will as this conversation. Okay, but you made it sound like a red star outside my house. One time a liberal came into my house. Yeah, and we got on the conversation of Liberty University and that person said, I can't believe that they would allow a university to indoctrinate people like that, And you were like, your answer was, can we not have one place? Oh? Let us thought of that? You remember? No, you don't remember this conversation. I didn't even remember you just doing the post of the week. Yeah, don't you take your pills. That's right. I actually kicked up the mill grams. The opposite of. All right, what is yours? What is happening? What are y'all not thankful for it? Let's something that just would make you that you just irritate you. There's a couple of things. You have a longer list than me. Everything. Yeah, I cannot stand being at an event and a little kid being near me crying. Kid, it doesn't have to be crying. They could just be aggravating. Just go away. I don't like it. That's not of getting old there, Yeah, I. Don't like it at all. Idiots driving, idiots driving, that's Brian's to I can't robe with Brian. He's yelled at everybody. Because I almost get hit all the freaking times because people are idiots. They're on their phone, they're just idiots. So, Emma, as I've gotten older, I've tried to get patient over that by just enjoying my life and letting that person that's rushing so hard just get going. Well, they like are swerving into my lanes. Someone rode my tail so close, like I can't even see their headlights, Like. Why are you guys? Because sometimes when he looks up or when I look up, he's looking at me, and I don't know what are you looking at and then I but I just looked up and he's staring at me, and I know why, but I'm like, okay, I'm gonna act like he's not looking at me, but I can't help it. And then then he starts laughing, and I know what it's about. Nothing, It was nothing. What is happening. You're the idiot? Honestly, No, not you. I don't know. You can't say I'm an idiot, but. No, no, you're not an idiot. But he is an idiot. Like I mean, yeah, there's no reason to laugh. Just really is. I've never seen a lat. This is like when we go home, commments are going to be so brutal. I will say. I think after you turn the age of like seventy, you should have to take your driver's test every. So that is true, though, you should should have to turn it in just. For safe well, because they scare me. My parents drive just fine. No I know, but like just in generally some yeah should not be driving. Your I do agree with you, you should have to take it. There's only like one time ever that I wanted to call the police on one lady because I thought she was going to kill herself. Wow, that's scary. Yeah there, all right, do we have time for Yeah, you've got all right now. I just got three things to say. God, bless our truth. He's got a breath up. Bless America. God like Tanya. Okay, what are we laughing at? Can some explain? No? We cannot inside Joe and the other person's laughing. Yes, And I just and I wondered, what's he staring at me about? And it was just here we go. I had a look like, why are you staring at me? Sort of like I thought, is he looking at me? I hope he's not looking at me. We had this moment at the room. The name he doesn't remember at all, see. Gets the same face, Chris. I looked at you were hiding below the window the wheel will because oh, some months ago, I thought you meant this weekend. Yeah, several months ago. Oh yeah, what. Is? He makes a joke and then hides. Staring at the guy like you laughing, And that person's probably like, what is he laughing? What would he be laughing about? Yeah, so I'm thankful for a sense of humor. All right. Hey, earlier, like two hours ago, I had that ten minute discussion of the education last week. Yes, all right, the dissertation. Yeah, the dissertation. Uh so, listen to this lady, Emma, Emma, let me ask you at your age, did you ever think this about what Apple pay is. Listen with this lady what she found out. Oh my god, if you use Apple pay, honestly, just be so careful. This is a little embarrassing. If this could help one person, then I'm really willing to share what my experience was. I'm just gonna lay it out like this. When you use Apple pay, that's real money. That's true American dollars from your credit card, if you if you have your credit card connected, that's where the money is being sourced from. It's not like a. Special form of Apple pay Apple dollars. Why they don't just say this is real money while you're paying, I don't know, because I thought that I had accumulated a bunch of Apple dollars to use for Apple Pay by you know, spending so much time on my phone, giving my data very freely and willingly to any place that asks, like whatever they say, our cookies, Okay, I say yes, yes, yes, because I thought that's how I was getting prize, is getting awards getting Apple dollars. So I didn't think that was real money to I check my credit card bill. I've been spending money like I'm a freaking millionaire. I got hair moves, I'm straight hair. My hair doesn't even hold moves. I call Apple to straighten things out. Okay, I please pick with mister Steve Jobs. They go, he's no longer with us. Er is she actually serious? My mouth was open that entire time. What did she think? What is Apple money? She thought, so you know what and yeah, you got an iPhone? Right? Yes? But like, what does she think is the money? What she thought was and this is what Marty does. Whenever you go to McDonald's. What's the thing they ask you? As soon as you go, they ask you, did you order on the app? So she thought if she uses her iPhone as much as she can, that Apple was rewarding her with points. So she was converting those points. And when it said did you want an Apple pay? She was saying, yes, mar you thought this this girl, Well you said Marty's name. Now, who's not paying attention? I was? But you said Marty Marty, I said, when Marty goes to mcdonald'. So that's the first thing they say, they ask you if you want to use your app, you want to use your mobile app? And I, Nope, don't do that at all. But she does because she gets points. Okay, this girl thought it was like that, like if she uses her phone enough that she's getting Apple points, that that's what she was paying with all this stuff. I like, don't think I've ever that's such ana. And she was doing a TikTok about it to educate others education. I wonder how many people think that. Oh man, I wish there was comments on it. First one Democrat all the school is homeschooler. Yeah, that's that is hilarious. I hope she's strolling. I don't know she was really crying about it. Oh man. Comments. I'm not a big fan of, especially the ones on our show. You get that picture things are getting out of hand. I didn't get it. I didn't. I can't really see at this angle either. It's a glare, but I don't know what it was right there. So they wrote part of things and then part of things on a. Piece of paper. Things are getting out of hand. That's pretty good, all right, dude, have you seen this on cut twelve? Have you have you heard these people talking to the military personnel. Listen, listen to this. This will infuriate you. I'm Senator Alissa Stocke, Senator Mark Kelly, Representative Chris Delusio, Congress Representative Chrissy. Who, Congressman Jason Crowe. I was a captain in the United States. Navy, former Army ranger. Former intelligence officer, Air Force. I don't want to speak directly to members of the military. And the intelligence community who. Take risks each day keep Americans safe. We know you are under enormous stress, and perhaps. Americans trust their military. If that trust is. At risk, this administration is pitying our uniform military. And intelligence community professionals. Against American citizens like us. You all swore an oath to protect. And defend this constitution. Right now, the threats to our constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but right. Here at our raws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our constitution. We know this is hard and that it's a difficult time to be a public servant. But whether you're serving in the CIA, the army or Navy, the air Force. Your vigilance is critical. And know that we have your back, because now more than ever. The Americans dis infuriates me. Stand up for our laws, for our constitution, and who we are as Americans. Don't give up, don't give up, don't give don't. Give up the ship. Oh my god. Now, why would you think I'm infuriated? Go ahead? Maybe because I know people immediate family that were kicked out of the military for refusing to get a COVID shot. That's right, And they applauded that where were you? That was their game plan actually because they wanted the Trump Trumpsters, because let's face it, who didn't get the shot? Right? It was people that were paying patriots that like us, that didn't want to get the shot. So you don't get the shot, you get kicked out of the military. Yeah, exactly. And to sit there on your little high horse, yeah, and say you don't have to take illegal orders while you stupid son of oh my god man. Yeah, And they're former members of the military themselves. And for you to say something like that, a is you don't understand. You're not upholding the counst who is the commander in chief exactly right, there's a there's an order of law there, order of orders. Actually right, let me ask you a question. If you're in the military and you do not like your sergeant, right, does that give you the right to disobey him? No? So, And they're also hiding behind the words illegal orders. So for example, your your sergeant can't go tell you to murder someone, obviously, right, So they're hiding behind that word. But you know what the whole innu window is. Of course, don't do what Trump tells you to do, don't go into these cities and arrest illegal Americans. But what military is doing that? And what orders? What orders is he giving that is illegal? You know what they're saying, Well, they're not, I mean they're not saying that. They're just trying to innuindow it. Hey, it's time we need you to revolt because if we can get enough of those stories, we can we can change things. While that infuriates me, it also warms my heart. Do you know why they're on your struggling They're on the edge. Yeah, they know they're this close to losing. Yeah, everything they had put into place. Yeah. Oh, so let's play did they vote for Trump. So before which, by the way, I love that we're doing this on YouTube so much at LH Underscore podcast because you can see the people that I'm talking about here. Did she vote for Trump? But actually listen to what she has to say in the math that she's given. Tell me if you even understand what she's trying to. Say, people getting snapped need to work. You need to get a job and work. So you agree, So you agree that a person who's working deserves to feed their family and themselves. So you agree. It is absolutely wild to me that you think that a person who is working deserves to feed their family on the dime of a government subsidy instead of through being paid a fair wage by a corporation that they work for. Like, is this is this? Like it's like a mass delusion. I feel like I'm losing my fucking mind. You are, I'm losing my fucking mind. I don't get what what could she possibly think the argument for snap was there, She's not. She's saying that she is working and she makes such little money she still has to rely on snap, that we live in such a horrible society that she can't make enough money to pay for the groceries. Man, I did not get that at all. Which she is correct, except you're making it worse when you have a society that taxes you so much that you can't afford groceries. It's good thought. But what's worse about everything I just saw there is we live in a free market society. And this is the part I never understood about people. Trent. My first which you know this Wiley and Wilson was in the basement. I made a whopping thirteen thousand dollars a year. I don't know what that averages out to be. Dollar Wow, I could still be I could still be in that job, yes, yeah, Or I could choose to do something different. You could be delivering the mail today. Nobody would say anything. Charlie Grubs did it for thirty plus years. So if you don't like the wage that you're making, go somewhere else. By the way, you could go somewhere else if the illegal wasn't taking the job. True. Yeah, sorry, Okay, So I'm heading to DC this weekend. Yes, okay. This lady on the left is making fun of what's going on in the right. On the right, the Vietnam War Memorial with a guy on his hand on here, listen to this woman and tell me, guarantee you she's a parent. Imagine her telling her kid. This steel good about yourself. Like when you're walking around and you see someone with like military dog tags or some stupid fucking vet hat or whatever, and you go. Oh, thank you for your service. What are y'all doing? What are y'all doing? What are you doing? And then you're like, you're so disrespectful. You would never be in the military, you could never know shit, Why would I do that? I also don't want to be a garbage man, a ballerina, an NBA player. There's a million things that I would not do. What about it? But I'm gonna walk up to thank you. For your service, sir, Thank you for your service. Dude, white liberal women I am. It's the one thing part of my. Mission is what I heard today is what is changing in our country is young men never joining the Democratic Party. I hope that is what I hope that we do with this show is keep showing how dumb they are. That right there is the most disrespectful thing I think I could hear. All Right, if Carolina Kevin is he calling in. He's got you got two minutes, okay, fifty. See do you think any of these people voted for Trump? And but they are training to stop ice? Oh? Here we go go ahead. Could they have found a level of service. That's a man? Why are you on the brook in his ground? You can? They were so for those that I guess you have to watch on the episode, but there was definitely the gayest damn village people ever stretching. I don't know what you call those kalistenics. The girl in the back with the cougar shorts on. Yeah, all right, so all right, this last one quickly, dude. I loved this TikTok and people would do this. So all the people that we just played, the liberal a holes that we just listened to, tell me that the people that are in this clip are not the three or four baddest dudes that you've ever run into. This is where the granddaughter was trying to get the grandfather to help them get a scholarship from the Democratic Party. Yes, and the grandfathers didn't know it, so they have to say something good about the Democratic part I love these things. Cut forty seven, excusing me to be in the drawing for the twenty twenty five Democratic Great Scholars Awards. Democratic. Yes, they're Democrats. We have to be Democrats. When Trump won this year, we were very disappointed and sad. We're not doing I'm not doing this. I was out in the streets when President Trump won the election. And we are thanking Joe Biden for everything he's done. Paul. It's your money, Paul, Paul. My papa is gonna share with you today some of the great things that the Democratic Party. Influenced the Democrat myself, I ain't gonna do it. Man, you think I'm going along with this crap. I wouldn't even sit down here. Just God damn. Democrats. You said say we were going for the demofrontic party, and from started I would have been William, were prepared for. God going, my Paul, thanks the Democratic Party for everything they do for America. But a lead lying in the morning, Wiki, it's for ten thousand dollars, a thank you ten thousand Yeah, okay, okay, I.

So what's funny about that? Kevin is? Do you know Trey? Yeah? You do. I figured of all people you would know him. So before you started, uh, Trent, there was a TikTok trend of it was two black guys fishing at a pond and this old guy pulls up and asks him if they had permission to fish and he said permission and he's like, yeah from Crew Tractor, right, And he says, we thought this was State pond and he said state. You know, it just goes on right. It took off like it was just a video and it became this trend that was freaking ridiculous. What was the point, What was the point of the him yelling state yeah? Just him and Jim all. I guess I don't know. Why does any TikTok take off? But this one blew up. Well it's Crew Tractor in Crewe, Virginia, huh. And the place has gone nuts like he's turned it. The owner, Trey Taylor, has turned it into something positive to where people literally are going by there getting autographs. No kidding, that was his father that stopped him. Is this a new trend? I'm gonna pull it up so he can see the video real quick. Yeah, I got it. Video. Just put in not paying. Attentions, No, I am, but I don't know what type in. Just type in crew tractor.

Okay, right over again. I'm his daddy. He was daddy and a man just called me and called Trey and said, trade the efficient pawn. He said a lot. Come up up, oh man, lock up up. I tell you. They don't got no trespassing sign. So how somebody will get locked up. That's good. That's good because that's the that's pretty much the win viral right there. That's it. But it blew up. Huh. I figured you. Print would do up, print would do up the cabin. No, I'm friendly to everybody. Lick up up. I don't get bothered by stuff like that. Boys and girl. Hey, how's your week? Oh man? We tagging along, bro. I want to thank you for your care package. Yes, although Emma is very upset that she did not get. A care package, it was very upset. Yes, she doesn't know what it is yet though. Baseball cards and football cards and basketball cards. Some really really good ones. Anny, which ones you get? You get? Cowboys? What or what kind of I got? I tell you? Out of I kept like five out. I meant to bring them today because I had no clue that Tony Bennett played for the Charlotte Hornets oh you didn't know that, No clut So I got that card. Dion Sanders card was pretty cool. His Rookie card from Atlanta, Pete Rose. There was a couple others I can't remember off top of my head. But Kevin, you want to explain how you came across some cool all those cool cards. Well, I told Trent and the text message this guy had a listed for like fifteen dollars, but his wife, it told him, said look we're moving again, and if we got to lug these cards around, I'm divorcing you. So like the day they were moving out, he contacted me and he's like, look, I'll take what you what you offered me, just come pick them up. And literally I went and picked him up. He had them in five totes and I paid him the money and I got home and I got to look and him like, good lord, it's like I just sold one today on eBay for ninety five dollars a Michael Jordan card. Wow. Like there was cards that he had to kill O'Neill's Rookie card. It's just it's just unbelievable, all these cards. And I said, well, look can I sell them? Yeah, make some profits but what would I be able to do to make somebody's day? And I said, Trent and Brian liked sports, they would probably appreciate them more than if I was to sell them to somebody that's gonna try to make money on And I said, Trent, take the cards I sent you, give them the perry or give them to your grandkids, because they will appreciate it more than I than I would sell them to somebody that's gonna give me some money for them. They just gonna take them and get them graded for CSA and they turn around flip them and make money off of them. So I figured y'all would enjoy them better than anybody else. And I really appreciate us. It was a huge deal when I was growing up in the seventh grade. I never will forget. You're Ken Griffy, right, that's the story. Yeah, I love the story. I was. I was part of a card club. Yeah, and I traded for King Griffy. You suckered guy, right, I think a traded Rusty Stop or something like that. It was. It was awful card. Yeah, And like Ken Griffy was new at but I was. Kevin can tell you I used to get this little book that was like eight and a half by eleven book. It came weekly and it was Baseball Digest I think was the name of it. Yes, dude, my head was in it daily, the. One that gave you the prices of what the cards the values were, Yes. And every statistic of every player. Like that was me. That was my life. I was too exact, samely. And this joker comes there, you know, he this Ken Griffy kids, way overrated. Okay, I'll take that. Yeah, yeah, do you have it today? I have no clue where that is. Yeah, that's I know. I do hate that. I wasn't a responsible kid that kept up with that stuff. So I told Kevin that I was going to save it for the show to tell him this so he doesn't know this about me. So nineteen eighty seven, I'm seventeen years old and my best friend in Preuit's dad, Harold Prewitt, was a truck driver with my dad and so they were buddies. Uh. He was a huge Oriole fan and I am. So he said, hey, do you want to go with me and Kevin to spring training baseball down in Florida? And I was like, oh my god, that's a dream come true. So I rode with them down to Florida to go down there. And before we left, we were in a store and I stopped. We stopped and there was the entire There was a box there of Tops, Tops, Team O, P p s.

So this emma is worth listening to, even if it's a little long, but it is the real meaning. Like we all think Thanksgiving was Pilgrims feeding Indians or Indians bringing Pilgrims food. That's what we always are told, right, Yes, so this is a story of what it really is about. Go to uh YouTube Yeah, search at LLH Underscore podcast in you two If you click subscribe, can watch this video of the late great one and Only bring Us friend Paul in his Thanksgiving Yeah, have a good holiday, we'll see on the flip side. Time for the Traditionals. True story of Thanksgiving written by me in my second bestseller two and a half million copies in hardback see I Told You So, Chapter six, Dead White Guys, or what the history books never told you? The true story of Thanksgiving. The story of the Pilgrims begins in the early part of the seventeenth century. The Church of England, under King James the First was persecuting anyone and everyone who did not recognize its absolute civil and spiritual authority. Those who challenged ecclesiastical authority and those who believed strongly in freedom of worship were hunted down, imprisoned, and sometimes executed for their beliefs. A group of separatists first fled to Holland and established a community. After eleven years, about forty of them agreed to make a perilous journey to the New World, where they would certainly face hardships, but could live and worship God according to the dictates. Of their own consciences. On August first, sixteen to twenty, the Mayflowers set sail. It carried a total of one hundred two passengers, including forty Pilgrims, led by William Bradford. On the journey, Bradford set up an agreement, a contract the established just and equal laws for all members of the new community. Respective of their religious beliefs. Where did the revolutionary ideas expressed in a Mayflower Compact come from? They came from the Bible. The Pilgrims were a people completely steeped in the lessons of the. Old and New Testaments. They looked to the ancient Israelites for their. Example, and because of the biblical precedent set forth in scripture, they never doubted that their experiment would work. But it was no pleasure cruise. The journey to the New World was a long and arduous one, and when the Pilgrims landed in New England in November, they found, according to Bradford's detailed journal, a cold, barren, desolate wilderness. There were no friends to greet them, he wrote, There were no houses to shelter them, there were no inns where they could refresh themselves, and the sacrifice that they had made for freedom was just beginning. During the first winter, half the Pilgrims, including Bradford's own wife, died the meter starvations, sickness, or exposure. When spring finally came, Indians taught the settlers how to plant corn fish for cod and skin beavers for coats. Life improved for the Pilgrims, but they did not yet prosper. And this is important to understand because this is where modern American history lessons often end. Thanksgiving is actually explained in some textbooks as a holiday for which the Pilgrims gave thanks to the Indians for saving their lives, rather than as a devout expression of gratitude grounded in the tradition of both the Old and New Testaments. Here's the part that's been omitted. The original contract the Pilgrims had entered into with their merchant sponsors in London called for everything they produced to go into a common store, and each member of the community was entitled to one common share. All of the land that they cleared and the houses they built belonged to the community as well, and they were going. To distribute it equally. All the they cleared, the houses they built belonged to the community. Nobody owned anything, they just had. A share in it. It was a commune. It was the forerunner to the communes we saw in the sixties and seventies out in California. And it was a complete with organic vegetables, even just like the communes of today are. Cod no there's no question it was organic vegetables. Bradford, who had become the new governor of the colony, recognized that this form of collectivism was as costly and destructive to the Pilgrims as that first harsh winter which had taken so many lives. He decided to take bold action. Bradford assigned a plot of land to each family to work and manage, thus turning loose the power in the marketplace. Long before Carl Marx was even born, the Pilgrims had discovered and experimented with what could only be described as socialism, and what happened. It didn't work, but it nearly stop. It never has worked. What Bradford in his community found was that the most creative and industrious people had no incentive to work any harder than anybody else unless they could utilize. The power of personal motivation. But while most of the rest. Of the world has been experimenting with socialism for well over one hundred years, trying to refine it, perfect it, and reinvent it, the Pilgrims decided early on to scrap it permanently. What Bradford wrote about this social experiment should be in every school child's history lesson, if it were we might prevent such needless suffering in the future, such as that we are enduring now. The experience that we had in this common course and condition, This is Bradford, the experience we had in this common course and condition, tired or tried Sunday years, that by taking away property and bringing community into a commonwealth would make them happy and flourishing, as if they were wiser than God. Bradford wrote for this community, so far as it was was found to breed much confusion and discontent, and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort. For young men that were most able and fit for labor and service, did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men's wives and children without being paid for it. That was thought injustice. Why should you work for other people when you can't work for yourself? What's the point, That's what he was saying. The Pilgrims found that people could not be expected to do their best work without incentive. So what did Bradford's community try next? They unharnished the power of good old free enterprise by invoking the undergirding capitalistic principle of private property. Every family was assigned its own plot of land to work, and permitted to market its own crops and products. What was the result, Bradford wrote, this had very. Good success, for it made all hands industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been. Is it possible that supply side economics could have existed before the nineteen eighties. Yes. Read the story of Joseph and Pharaoh in Genesis forty one. Following Joseph's suggestion, Pharaoh reduced the tax on Egyptians of twenty percent during the seven years of plenty, and the earth brought forth in heaps well. At no time the pilgrims found that they had more food than they could eat themselves. This this is where it gets really good if you're laboring under the misconception that I was as I was taught in school. They set up trading posts, they exchanged goods with the Indians. The prophets allowed them to pay off their debts the merchants in London, and the success and the prosperity of the Plymouth settlement attracted more Europeans and began what came to be known as the Great Puritan migration. But this story stops when the Indians taught the newly arrived suffering and socialism pilgrims how to plant corn and fish for cod. That's where the original Thanksgiving story stops. Story basically doesn't even begin there. The real story of Thanksgiving is William Bradford giving thanks to God for the guidance and the inspiration to set up a thriving colony that socialism caused near starvation. The bounty was shared with the Indians. They did sit down, they did have free range turkey and organic vegetables. But it wasn't the Indians who saved the day. It was capitalism in scripture which saved the day, as acknowledged by George Washington in his first Thanksgiving Proclamation in seventeen eighty nine.
