Great podcast today.

We talk a little bit about being prepared, what you need to do to be prepared for anything that might come your way, like, I don't know, zombies or,

you know,

economic breakdown of everything in the entire Western world.

You know, things like that.

That'll never happen here.

We also

are sharing with you our

lovely thoughts about the border.

And I think we wish everyone, all of those people that are involved politically in making the border what it is today, I'd say it was a love fest.

Oh, yes.

Nothing but hearts and hugs.

Yeah, yeah.

All that and so much more on today's podcast.

What's the baseline?

Where are we starting at?

What are we looking at going forward?

Are we okay?

Oh, we're totally screwed.

No, I mean, you know, I mean,

there's some positive things to look at here if the Republicans don't screw it up, which they will.

But maybe we'll get into that a little bit on tomorrow's radio program as well.

But don't miss it on Studoz America tonight.

Five stars is the appropriate number of stars.

Here's the podcast.

You're listening to the best of the Blenbeck program.

All right.

Thank you.

Let me start with

Joe Scarborough.

Joe Scarborough yesterday came out and was very upset that the

Biden story, the laptop story, had been suppressed by Twitter and Facebook.

He was very upset yesterday, thought it was shameful.

Here he is.

Post comes out with it.

They're the only one that comes out with it.

And then it is banned on social media.

That's bad.

Yeah, it's horrific.

That's bad.

Because, again, it is, I think we have to, you know, you have to say it.

It's a real real story.

Wow, that is big of you.

Thank you, Dan Abrams, for pointing that.

It is a real story, and you have to say that.

And it was horrific what Facebook and Twitter did, according to Joe Scarborough.

Now, let me take you back into the time tunnel, tunnel, tunnel, tunnel, tunnel.

To a time when Joe Scarborough's memory has been wiped clean.

Here's a super classic from the same guy who said it was horrific.

That's what conservatives think they can lie through their teeth.

These right-wingers think at Wall Street Journal editorial page think they can lie through their teeth and talk about

Facebook having problems and Twitter having problems with a story

that even the New York Post knew was a lie.

They knew it was such a lie.

We'll get to this, by the way,

that they put a woman's name on the story reportedly that didn't even know her name was going to be on the story

the man who wrote that story knew it was such a lie horrific the new york post knew it was such a lie that he refused to put his name on that story

They publish a series of lies peddled to them by Rudy Giuliani, who admitted that nobody else would take it but Rupert Murdoch's New York Post.

Okay.

All righty.

Thank you, Joe.

It's weird.

It's almost like what you were saying there is horrific.

Is that the same person?

You're saying that person that you, the first clip and the second clip, the same person?

Person?

Well, it's the same person, but

he's kind of a chameleon.

He goes wherever the winds are going.

You know what I mean?

I'm a conservative.

I hate conservatives.

I love conservatives.

I hate conservatives.

You know, that's true.

That's not true.

That's definitely not true.

It's horrific.

It's an outrage.

You should go to jail.

That seems to be totally true.

That's Joe Scarborough.

Those two clips are almost like a person who believes they can say absolutely anything and no one will ever notice.

Yes.

They just completely disagree with themselves.

And you know what?

It's true because no one watches MSNBC.

It's good reasoning then.

Let me show you something that I was really kind of excited about when I first heard it.

I thought, yeah.

And I'll tell you how it ends in a second.

But first, here is cut eight.

Governor Greg Abbott from the great state of Texas.

To help local officials whose communities are being overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by the Biden administration, Texas is providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants who have been dropped off by the Biden administration to Washington, D.C.

Wow.

We are sending them to the United States Capitol where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border.

Oh, it's done with such compassion, such

I mean, it was almost a little Ronde Santis, wasn't it?

And when I say a little, I mean maybe like his pinky.

I mean on his foot.

And I think you can walk without a pinky.

I think you could lose the pinky on your hands and your feet, and you're fine.

So when I say a little Ronde Santis, I mean the appendages that you could lose and still not notice.

That's how much of Ron DeSantis he was.

Okay.

Okay.

Why is that?

Because what he said, now listen carefully, listen very carefully to what the governor said because

it was revealed

later,

but he knows because listen to what he's saying.

Play it again.

To help local officials

are being overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by the Biden administration.

Yeah.

Texas

is providing charter buses

to send these illegal immigrants who have been dropped off by the Biden administration.

Hey,

what's wrong with that?

What's wrong with that?

That sounds great, doesn't it?

The key word here is providing.

Providing.

We're providing

tour buses.

Okay.

What are you upset about paying for it?

No, no, no.

no.

No, no.

These illegal immigrants need to volunteer to get on to the buses Texas is providing to send them to the hellhole of Washington, D.C.

Now,

I mean,

even if you don't speak a word of English, you hear

Washington, D.C., as they're pointing to a bus.

I don't get on that bus.

I don't understand, though.

I've been told that illegal immigrants are treated terribly by Texas and wonderfully by Washington, D.C.

Yeah, no, we're just...

Why wouldn't they want to go to Washington, D.C.

immediately?

What?

Wouldn't that be their priority?

Because

even if you're not in America, you don't want to go to Washington, D.C.

I don't understand.

We're told over and over again by the media, the people who treat illegal immigrants fairly are the people in the blue states and the blue communities who are embracing them and giving them all these programs.

Why wouldn't they want to go to Washington, D.C.?

I don't understand.

So now, Ron DeSantis, Rick DeSantis, Ron DeSantis, Rick, Ron DeSantis is so well versed in this story, you almost know his name now.

We are getting to the point where

we think by the time

by 2024,

election night, Ron DeSantis wins the presidency.

We call him

President DeSantis.

There you go.

That's how we solve this.

You're never going to get the Rick and Ron thing.

Yeah, I've never.

But eventually, if he becomes president, you can say that.

You know what you should do?

Governor DeSantis.

Governor DeSantis.

There you go.

Governor DeSantis.

So anyway, Governor R.

DeSantis.

Governor, I don't know why you have a hang-up on this one.

I think it's Rick Santorum.

I don't know why.

I mean, I never think of Rick Santorum, but that's the only thing I can.

Well, every time that you get this name wrong, I think of one specific thing.

Yeah.

Go ahead.

Say it.

And there you have it.

Another example of why Glenn Beck is in the Radio Hall of Fame.

There it is.

There it is.

There it is.

You're exactly right.

Exactly right.

Do you get his name wrong?

I don't get his name wrong.

Are you in the Hall of Fame?

I am not in the Hall of Fame.

Enough said.

Anyway, anyway,

Governor DeSantis,

you know, he said that he was going to send people up to Delaware, and it was great.

He didn't because he tied it to those ghost planes in the middle of the night.

And he said, we don't know when they're coming in.

We would have to be prepared to meet them at the airport.

So I don't know if that was a loophole that helped him get out of it or not.

But he did say, when these ghost planes land, we are going to bust them and send them to Delaware.

All right.

If the United States government can take illegals and just dump them into our border towns, these towns do not have the capability of doing it.

I, for one, as a Texan, am sick and tired of what this government, U.S.

government, is doing to Texas.

They are intentionally doing this to Texas and the entire country, don't get me wrong.

Because they're hitting every state.

They're hitting every state.

So they're doing it to all of our communities.

But I

really,

really don't understand why we can't take people who the feds just dumped into a city, have no connection to that city.

I don't know why we can't pick them up, put them in a bus, and feed them well, treat them well.

They can all be singing the Flintstone songs along with John Candy and Steve Martin as they take their train, plane, or automobile some other place, a blue state.

That does seem logical to me, though I will say

the legal aspects of this are always an issue, right?

And

don't toy, don't dance around it.

Then say, then the governor shouldn't come out and say, we're providing, and then reveal the details.

And, oh, by the way, here are the details.

Right.

But, like, is Ron DeSantis doing this by force?

No.

So

it might be.

No, I know that.

I know that.

But

don't be a used car salesman.

You didn't read the fine print.

Right.

You're saying that he's the way he's announcing it.

Obviously, I think the average person would hear that announcement and say, He's when he finds an illegal immigrant, he's going to put them on a bus and ship them to Washington, D.C.

When in reality, he finds them, not when he finds them, they're being dropped off at city.

I don't know if you've seen the interviews with the mayors of these border towns.

Oh, they're they can't believe a lot of them are Democrats, right?

And they are pulling their

the United States government is pulling these buses up and then just dumping them into these towns.

Okay,

the town, there are more illegals in these towns than there are townsfolk.

Okay.

Right.

I don't understand why the state can't say, yeah, this is out of control.

You're going over here and we're going to dump you at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Logically, I obviously agree with you on this.

But I mean, I remember the Arizona case where Arizona not just had an announcement by the governor, but passed a law that was going to enforce immigration law, and it got overturned in the Supreme Court.

Yeah, well.

So I don't, maybe there's just no way.

I'm sorry, but the Constitution is not a suicide pact.

No, I don't believe it.

When the government does not abide by the laws itself, when the government is

abusing the rights it was set up to protect,

I don't, I'm sorry.

I'm not leaving America.

Joe Biden's America left me.

I'm still in America.

I still believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

I believe in equal justice.

I believe in the rule of law.

Joe Biden's administration and Joe Biden's America and the left, they don't.

So I'm still holding old glory.

I'm still here with my pocket Constitution and Declaration of Independence, and I still abide by all of that.

But the government doesn't.

When is it going to be enough for states and governors just to say, I'm sorry, but you're not going to collapse my state and me just sit here and take it.

The good news, though, is if Greg Abbott were to lose, we can, I'm sure Betto will handle this more appropriately.

Oh, yeah.

He'll nail it.

Oh, no.

He'll nail this.

It'll be fantastic.

It'll be fantastic.

And by the way, even if they do say, oh, you can't do that, Supreme Court, how many buses could we get to Washington, D.C.

before

the court case and an injunction?

I think we could get a lot.

So let's load up a lot of them and then we just let them go in Washington, D.C.

They'll have their smarts phone so you can track them.

And then, you know, when the federal government says, hey, you can't do that, okay,

all right.

Well,

tell us where they are with their smartphone and we'll ask them to come back on the bus.

We'll give them optional buses to come back.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program and we really want to thank you for listening.

I am surrounded by a new family of people who have their life back because of Relief Factor.

I'm one of them.

I was

in pain and got to the point to where I just couldn't do it anymore.

Anybody else else feel like, you know, I just can't get up another day?

We have our life back because of Relief Factor.

It's not a television commercial.

It's a group of real people with real results that had real pain.

Try it yourself, Relief Factor.

This guy when he started, completely bald.

Look at him now.

Doesn't do anything for your hair.

But it will help you.

Get out of pain.

Give it a shot.

try the three-week quick start doesn't work move on but we're here to tell you it works relief factor.com

all right you sick twisted freak now i want to make sure that this is not twisted around into something like um

you know fear of the chinese you're just chinophobic no no i'm not And I don't think the guy who is standing up and trying to fight against this plant

in North Dakota is either.

It's Ben

Gradjaleski.

Is that right?

That's correct.

Oh, my gosh.

You have way too many letters in your name.

Ben, first of all, let me just ask you a couple of quick questions just so I just so I know where you're coming from and we're really clear on it.

Okay.

You don't have a problem with foreigners.

No.

Okay.

You're not

Asiaphobic.

You're not like Chinese people.

I don't trust them.

Oh, no, not at all.

Okay, good.

Because that, you know, I'm sure is being said or could be said.

And I'd like to not repeat the 1940s, hey, let's round up the Japanese.

The people are different than

the country.

All right, so we've established that.

So

there is this plant being built.

And as I understand it, the community was not

consulted by this.

It's just going through the city council and they're trying to shut people up who are against it, right?

It appears to be that way, yes.

Okay, tell me what's happening.

Well, so apparently the city leaders have been working on bringing this project to town for somewhere around two years before they even brought it into the public eye.

And it came into the public eye late last fall,

early winter.

And then since then, they've just been pushing it through.

There was never any

question to the citizens of the town, hey, do we want this manufacturing plant?

Is this something we want to put our tax dollars towards to entice to come here?

There was never anything like that.

And there just seems to be a lot of issues with it that are coming along with this plant, and we don't have a say in it.

So let's go through some of the issues.

I would have to say, even though I asked those first two questions, I do believe this is different.

Is this a, I mean, I'm sure it is,

a communist party-owned or at least partially owned company from China?

Well,

they say that it is not.

They assure us it is not.

I don't.

However, there's been studies done that show otherwise by independent analysis.

Okay.

Analysts, rather.

You know, so

I guess

the people trying to sell us the plants assure us that everything is

a-okay, though.

Yeah, there's no such thing as that in a communist country.

All right, so tell me what the other problems are.

You're putting out taxes.

I assume this is going to cost you guys in tax-based?

So

there's close to $100 million worth of taxpayer dollars that is going to entice this company through infrastructure, roads, gas pipelines, water pipelines,

sewer and water.

And there is a 20-year payback program from this company.

That is what they are telling us how it's going to be.

Theoretically, at the end of the day, if everything works out

the company comes down and in 20 years and they stay, we should have our money paid back, you know, and then some

do the property task.

I would assume that it's going to create jobs.

How many jobs is it going to create?

They're talking 233 direct jobs and 500 or something indirect jobs,

is what they're saying.

All right.

You know, and the average wage on the direct jobs is not that high.

I mean, it's 50, it's in the mid-50s, but that's average across the board.

So, you know, when you start getting your executives and top high-dollar earners in there, I don't think at the end of the day, they're going to be real high-paying quality jobs.

And then you have a

problem because of the, not you, but the, the, the people who are standing up.

You had a water problem recently, and they're using, this plant will use more water than the entire town in a day.

It will use slightly less.

We use about 7.5 million gallons a day on average as a city.

They're going to use about 6.5 million gallons a day.

Okay.

And do you have the water?

According to their studies, yes.

But last summer they were requesting that the citizens reduce their water usage because we were running out of water.

And

I have found several different reasons why, and I've got several different answers as to why that was last summer.

But they don't all really necessarily line up with each other.

So that's kind of a big red flag for me.

What are the other problems?

Well, there's pollution, smell.

Smell is a big concern for a lot of people.

They're situating this plant on the north, kind of north-northwest side of town, and that's where the prevailing winds come from around here.

So

anything that they produce,

exhaust or dust or any of that, will all be blowing right across town.

Okay.

So this, so so what's happening?

You're putting a petition out because you you're just asking for people to vote on it.

Don't leave this up to the city council, right?

That's exactly right.

We went around, we needed about 3,617 signatures to get it to a vote.

It was 15% of the last voting population last gubernatorial election.

And we collected 5,318, I believe it was, and turned them in,

to which the city leaders, the city attorney and the city leaders immediately went to work to, as I said earlier, it seems like they are trying their hardest to disqualify the whole thing.

And how are they doing that?

Well,

first off, they have a police detective, had a police detective calling around, calling petitioners, calling the signers with a couple different questionnaires, depending on who they were talking to, with a list of, I don't know,

10 questions each or something,

you know, just trying to ascertain exactly what they were shown, how they were asked, if they were pressured.

It's kind of bizarre.

It feels like they're going way above and beyond what they actually need to do to verify signatures.

See, I think this is where people always get in trouble.

I mean,

if there's nothing unseemly about it, just let the people know.

Just give them all the information.

Trust the people.

But

I mean, even apparently in Grand Forks, how big is Grand Forks?

It's about 60,000 people.

60,000 people, and they don't trust the community?

Evidently not.

It sure is not looking that way.

I don't know.

Maybe there's an ulterior motive here.

It's strange, though.

I mean, we've had petitions done in this town in the past, and they have never used police, police detectives, anything like that.

I mean, sure, the city auditor has called folks, you know, randomly to check, but I think a phone call from a city auditor is much different than a phone call from a police detective.

So, if the petition, when will you know if the petition is going to be deemed valid or not?

Um, that's a little up in the air.

They had said at the last city council meeting that they were hoping to have it done by tomorrow, hoping to have us an answer by tomorrow.

And if it is valid, then it goes for the election?

It should go to the June, the June election, yeah.

Okay.

And if it's not, then what do you do if they say it's not valid?

I honestly don't know the answer to that.

I know if it's thrown out based on invalid signatures, you know, if they cross off too many signatures, we will have seven days to go get those signatures rectified

and get them returned in.

If it's due to invalid paperwork, which is what they were indicating at the city council meeting, I don't know if we have a recourse.

I'm not sure, honestly.

So, um, how can we help you?

Well, uh,

we can use all the support we could get on our Facebook group,

which is uh Grand Forks Community Awareness of Foo Feng.

Of Fu Feng?

F yes, it's act F it's actually spelt F U F E N G, but it's pronounced Fu Feng.

Okay, so it's like Fu Fang.

Feng.

Correct.

Yeah.

E with an E.

Okay, Grand Forks Community Awareness of Fufang project.

Yes.

Yes.

Just rolls right off the tongue.

All right.

Well, best of luck.

Is this surprising?

Ben, how long have you lived in Grand Forks?

Most of my life.

I spent about a year and a half elsewhere, but

37 years.

And is this surprising that this is happening in your small town like this?

Absolutely.

You know, back to the petitions.

We've had petitions in the past that were done on the wrong paperwork, and the city attorney actually helped them to get it to vote.

And now it seems like we are going in 100% the opposite direction here.

So, yeah, it's very disappointing that they're trying to suppress the citizens having a say.

It sounds very un-American.

Please let us know

what happens, and hopefully, there will be a little groundshake

in your town.

Appreciate it.

We appreciate you having us on.

Thank you very much.

You bet.

Again, you can find it on Facebook, Grand Forks Community Awareness of Foof, Fu Feng, Fu Feng Project.

You know, the only reason why I have that is this is such a small community and such a local thing that

why would you be interested?

I mean, we have debated this story in our production meetings and our producers with the meeting with the producers for a few weeks.

We've been talking about it.

And it just keeps coming up because of a couple of reasons.

I think it's important because

you don't know what's happening in your own town.

You really don't.

And people, it's so easy for people to say, oh, well, it's not happening here.

It probably is.

It probably is.

You would be surprised at the size of the towns that are part of the Agenda 2030 project from the United Nations.

which falls right into the Great Reset.

You'd be surprised.

Money doesn't talk, it screams.

And there's been a lot of these towns that are roped into it now.

And you would have no idea the things that are going on in our schools.

You think

that it couldn't happen here.

It's not being taught.

It is.

It is.

And the people who you think are really good people, and they probably are,

but they are part of it.

They are part of it.

Doesn't make them a bad person.

It just makes them wrong.

And a lot of those people are teachers.

No matter what a teacher says to you, I firmly believe if you are in the teachers' union and you know what's going on, you are part of the problem.

You're part of the problem

because you are funding the group of people and the union that is trying to sever us from our children.

It is happening.

It's happening everywhere in America.

Even a small town that now seems to have something funky going on with this chinese plant that is coming in

more in a second

the best of the glendbeck program

stu

i read something today that i thought

no this can't be true and then

and then as i read it I thought, definitely can't be true.

And then by the time I finished, I thought, ah,

I'm pretty sure this is actual.

Oh, no.

This is a New York Times editorial today.

Opening day of Major League Baseball season, which falls on Thursday after being delayed for a week by labor dispute, is as good of an occasion

as any for fans of the game to come to terms with certain hard facts.

I'm talking, of course, about the inevitable future in which professional baseball is

what?

The inevitable future

that baseball is

gosh

woke

that it's

nationalized.

The inevitable truth that baseball is nationalized and put under some authority of some federal entity.

Why on earth would that occur?

Attendance at the games have declined steadily since 2008, and viewership figures are almost hilariously bleak.

An ordinary national primetime MLB broadcast, such as ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball, attracts some 1.5 million pairs of eyes each week, which is to say roughly the number that are likely to be watching a heavily censored version of Goodfellas on basic cable movie channel at the same time in the same time slot.

Even the World Series attracts smaller audiences than the average Thursday night football broadcast, the dregs of the National Football League's weekly schedule.

In 1975, the World Series had an average of 36 million viewers per game.

In 2021, it barely attracts 12 million per game.

Casual observers.

Wait, we're going to.

Okay, 12 million a game.

We're going to nationalize.

Oh,

he hasn't started yet.

Okay.

Casual observers may assume that despite the lack of popularity, baseball is still somehow insanely valuable.

This illusion.

Major League Baseball generated around $11 billion in revenue in 2019, but this figure does not accurately reflect the demand for its product.

Mike Trout's $426 million contract is effectively being paid by millions of grandparents who just want to tune in to Anderson Cooper or the Antiques Road Show.

Oh, stop.

As that audience dies off and younger generations of cord cutters take their place, baseball's revenue will plummet.

Culturally, the game is increasingly irrelevant.

The average age of a person watching baseball on television is 57, and one shudders to think what the comparable figure is for radio broadcasts.

Typical American 10-year-olds are as likely to recognize Jorge Soler, Solair,

who was named the most valuable player of last year's World Series as they are their local congressional representative.

College athletes drafted by.

That's a ridiculous point.

In some parts of the country, participation in Little League has decreased by nearly 50% in the past decade and a half.

When my wife and I signed up our five and six-year-old daughters for t-ball a few weeks ago, we did so partly out of the grim sense of obligation.

We might have been Irish parents enrolling our children in step dancing classes.

This is your heritage, and you're going to learn it and you're going to love it.

I don't think I'm like super bullish on the future of baseball as compared to maybe some other sports.

I love baseball, but I mean, this is a ridiculous piece.

You're taking out a guy from the MLB MVP who, yes, he wouldn't be highly recognized, but like there are a lot of players in baseball who would be.

And those are the guys that win the MVP for the entire season.

I think it's worth being honest up front

about what nationalizing baseball would entail.

Well, Well, I'd like to think that the Biden administration could just take all the 30 teams and dissolve the league by executive fiat, citing language.

Who wrote this?

This is pathetic.

Who wrote this?

This is written by Matthew Walther.

He's an editor of The Lamp, a Catholic literary journal.

He writes frequently about sports.

He should stop writing frequently about sports.

I don't think he's ever heard of sports.

Oh, listen to this.

It's more realistic to assume Congress would have to be involved.

Legislation would authorize purchasing the teams at their current, although absurdly inflated market valuation.

Players, coaches, and other staff members would become federal employees.

General manager would be appointed.

Blah, blah, blah.

I mean, this has got to be a joke, right?

Was it April 1st that it was posted?

No, I think this, I just got this today in my show prep.

So, no,

April 7th.

was today.

Maybe he's just late by six days.

Maybe.

Come on.

Why would we, first of all, we shouldn't nationalize it even if it collapses.

This can't be true.

It is not, we should not be involved in that in any way.

We should not nationalize anything.

I would also note that one of the teams plays in Canada, so I don't know how you'd be nationalizing the Toronto Blue Jays.

That would be an interesting trick.

No, we can't.

Can we show

April 6th?

That is one of the guest essay opinion, New York Times, April 6th.

Now, they've been writing these pieces about how the sport is dying for so many years, I can't even keep them.

They've been doing it since I was a kid.

And look, it has dropped in attendance a little bit.

Now, you look at last year, obviously, it was a COVID year.

I mean, some of these parks weren't even open at the beginning of the year.

So it was down last year.

But, I mean, you know, their numbers are fine.

If you can't build a business around 68 million people in the parks in 2019.

68 million.

You can't build a bit.

You need to be nationalized.

Forget it.

Not to mention the TV and the digital deals on top of the merchandise and all the other crap that goes on.

Yes, at times these

teams spend so much money that they can get themselves into trouble.

And there's some issues with income inequality between the Los Angeles Dodgers and every other team in the league.

But still, there's no reason.

There's not even an argument that it would fail, let alone be nationalized.

It's completely ridiculous.

I find it interesting that he says the average age of people watching it on TV is 57.

What's the average person of people that are watching TV?

Right.

I mean, the cable news average audience is like 72, right?

But they would think about nationalizing that.

No, they would probably would nationalize that.

But I mean, again,

yeah, you're right.

The TV average age is, I mean, people are really watching digital audience.

And then they'd shudder to think what it is on radio.

Well, most likely it's on AM radio.

And unless you're a conservative, you don't even know where

AM radio even means.

Yes, there's just, there's just AM radio.

There's news talk radio and sports radio.

Yeah, that's it.

That's all AM

is.

So, I mean, this is just, you know, this is nonsense.

This is like basically the, we're going to have 700 million people get displaced by global warming next year.

Like, it's like one of those type of pieces.

I don't want to be

like, there's people that are

posting on Instagram and and Facebook and stuff, my apology to George Soros,

last April Fools.

And they're like, Glenn Beck sold out he apologized.

I called him, I sincerely apologized to Mr.

Pepperoni Eyes.

Does that sound like a sincere apology?

For the love of Pete, people are so stupid.

But

I don't want to be one of those people.

When I read this, I'm like,

I don't know anymore.

I don't know anymore.

I don't know, is this guy serious or not?

Does he really because it's probably, I guess it's serious.

The only reason I think it's serious is because this type of piece has been written for a long time, minus the nationalization.

That's a new wrinkle.

Like,

baseball's going to fail.

It's not our national pastime anymore.

It's well behind football and basketball now.

And there's truth to some of that for sure.

I mean, certainly football is the number one sport.

But still, this is a pretty freaking healthy business.

Hang on.

Maybe

he's being sarcastic and he's actually writing a pro-baseball piece

saying, oh, you know, yeah, it's so bad.

It's horrible.

It's horrible.

Maybe we should naturalize.

We got to get him on the phone.

And if he doesn't come on the show, we know.
