[00:01:53]  Can you replace David Lee Roth?

=== Notice Your Health (03:07) ===

[00:01:57]  I'm just giving you an example.
[00:01:58]  I'm just saying.
[00:01:59]  With that other guy, or this guy.
[00:02:01]  It's weird.
[00:02:02]  There's a balance.
[00:02:04]  Something happened to Fox News.
[00:02:07]  And anybody who sees it can recognize this.
[00:02:11]  And I promise you, the people who are But first, Once you notice it, it's incredible.
[00:02:29]  It's the only thing you notice.
[00:02:31]  It's like when you're looking for something that's hidden and then you see it first, that's all you see.
[00:02:37]  I want to say something very, very quickly.
[00:02:43]  Your health, that which is your maintenance, is totally up to you.
[00:02:47]  Nobody can make you do it.
[00:02:49]  Nobody can make you eat right or supplement or exercise or do whatever it is.
[00:02:53]  It's a free country and that's the way it is.
[00:02:56]  And you know it and I know it.
[00:02:57]  And I have spent a long period of my life realizing that I'm going to give myself, at least, theoretically, every possible break I can.
[00:03:09]  Because fate is one thing, and there's not a lot you can do about genetics, but at least you can try not to harm yourself.
[00:03:16]  And one of the things that's critical is the amount of supplementation that you use and utilize if you're not eating right.
[00:03:26]  And let me say something, and I don't know you, and please don't take this the wrong way.
[00:03:30]  You're not eating right.
[00:03:31]  You're not.
[00:03:32]  You think you are.
[00:03:33]  You're on every kind of, well, not you, but they are on these weird kind of, you know, the Neanderthal diet.
[00:03:39]  Okay, that's nice.
[00:03:40]  But is that good for you?
[00:03:42]  Is that what you're made to be?
[00:03:43]  Well, supplements are critical.
[00:03:47]  And I'm going to talk to you about this one, and the link is there, and you can read the information, and this is why I love it.
[00:03:51]  It's called ZStack.
[00:03:52]  Why?
[00:03:53]  It's very simple.
[00:03:54]  Do not go into a vitamin store and start buying things off the...
[00:03:57]  Off the shelves, because you figure, well, the 500 milligrams is good.
[00:04:00]  2,000 milligrams is even better.
[00:04:02]  It doesn't work like that.
[00:04:04]  Is it water-soluble?
[00:04:05]  Is it fat-soluble?
[00:04:05]  And by the way, do you need certain things?
[00:04:08]  I don't want to go into it, because by the way, I'm not a doctor.
[00:04:10]  What I like about Z-Stack is very simply this.
[00:04:13]  Vitamin C, ascorbic acid, Linus Pauling, you know the truth.
[00:04:17]  Vitamin D, D3, which is really a miracle.
[00:04:20]  It's not, it's not, some say it's not even a vitamin, it's a hormone.
[00:04:24]  Zinc.
[00:04:25]  And quercetin.
[00:04:26]  What is quercetin?
[00:04:27]  Quercetin is a flavonoid.
[00:04:28]  What's a flavonoid?
[00:04:29]  These are the wonderful antioxidants that you normally find in fruits and vegetables that give it the pigment.
[00:04:34]  The pigment is what gives you the ability to fight off and to ward off the drastic effects of free radicals and the like.
[00:04:44]  Your endothelium, the coronary artery magic carpet, will thank you for that.

=== Watching The Evolution (12:06) ===

[00:04:51]  That's it.
[00:04:52]  No hard sell.
[00:04:54]  Zstock.
[00:04:55]  Look at the link.
[00:04:56]  Smart.
[00:04:59]  It's beyond wise.
[00:05:01]  Thank you.
[00:05:02]  Okay?
[00:05:03]  That wasn't that bad.
[00:05:05]  Now, I've been watching, I've been in one form or another, I guess, professional kind of information platforms since 1988.
[00:05:23]  And I've seen them come in radio stations and TV stations.
[00:05:31]  I was in really one of the first internet radio stations of all time.
[00:05:35]  True!
[00:05:36]  Absolutely the first of all time.
[00:05:39]  And there is something that happens.
[00:05:42]  There is a groove.
[00:05:43]  There is a balance.
[00:05:44]  There is something that is so critical to the legacy.
[00:05:50]  Of the enterprise.
[00:05:52]  And right now, as I say, Fox News is retooling to more schmaltz, glitzy, entertainment-oriented pablum and schlock.
[00:06:01]  And I'm being kind.
[00:06:04]  They were spooked.
[00:06:07]  Spooked by Dominion, by the exit.
[00:06:14]  Theoretically, of Tucker.
[00:06:16]  And what's going to happen next?
[00:06:19]  There were a lot of folks who were happy he was gone.
[00:06:21]  A lot of folks there who were jealous.
[00:06:23]  A lot of folks who did not like him.
[00:06:25]  Did not like his star.
[00:06:27]  Did not like his fame.
[00:06:28]  Did not care for that.
[00:06:30]  Okay, I dig that.
[00:06:31]  That's the way that happens.
[00:06:32]  But what you also have to realize is something even more important.
[00:06:35]  And that is simply this.
[00:06:39]  The people...
[00:06:40]  Who run Fox News.
[00:06:42]  And I know we're all invested in it somewhat.
[00:06:45]  Because up to now, since the genius of Roger Ailes.
[00:06:49]  Say whatever you want about him.
[00:06:50]  His morality, his life.
[00:06:53]  I never met the man.
[00:06:54]  But in terms of his broadcasting prowess, second to none.
[00:06:58]  Second to none.
[00:06:59]  He's a genius.
[00:07:01]  And what he did was he created the preeminent standard.
[00:07:08]  For news.
[00:07:08]  Everybody wants to compare themselves.
[00:07:10]  And there was a balance.
[00:07:12]  And there was a balance.
[00:07:14]  It's interesting to see how people over time change.
[00:07:20]  When you see somebody at first, maybe there's a kind of a roughness.
[00:07:24]  Maybe there's an innocence.
[00:07:26]  Maybe there's an awkwardness.
[00:07:28]  But you know what they have?
[00:07:29]  There's a desire.
[00:07:31]  There's a verve.
[00:07:33]  A fire.
[00:07:36]  I want to make something.
[00:07:38]  I'm not complacent yet.
[00:07:40]  I'm not making millions.
[00:07:41]  I'm not fat and happy and phoning it in.
[00:07:44]  Because the worst is to ask yourself, am I changing?
[00:07:47]  Am I doing the same thing?
[00:07:51]  Listen, sometimes you do nostalgia, sometimes you don't.
[00:07:53]  Mike Love has been singing Help Me Rhonda since the prehistoric ages because frankly nobody wants to hear new Mike Love music.
[00:08:01]  That's okay.
[00:08:02]  I dig it.
[00:08:02]  Then there are tribute bands.
[00:08:04]  In many respects, there are some folks on, and I've said it before, there is some kind of a safety net.
[00:08:11]  Hannity has become a kind of a Ronald Reagan, Rush Limbaugh tribute band.
[00:08:16]  This is conservative talk of the 80s.
[00:08:21]  Brash, but not exactly powerhouse.
[00:08:24]  Very patriotic, pro-American, but no real...
[00:08:33]  Nothing really, no new areas covered.
[00:08:37]  Nothing opened up.
[00:08:39]  Nothing, what?
[00:08:41]  You will never say, what?
[00:08:43]  It's snark and overreaction.
[00:08:45]  You're also seeing it turning more into an establishment entertainment channel.
[00:08:54]  See what happens?
[00:08:54]  It works like this.
[00:08:56]  Imagine a device I have where I can turn the knob.
[00:09:02]  And I want to say, forget it.
[00:09:04]  I want it to be more mainstream.
[00:09:08]  You are going to be, you're always going to get more people watching it, listen to this, with the more people who watch it.
[00:09:19]  You can quote me on that.
[00:09:20]  If it's real right, and I'm going to use right, left, please forgive me, just as a shorthand for subject matter.
[00:09:28]  You know what I'm talking about.
[00:09:29]  But if it's really right-wing, so to speak, or conservative, you're going to get absolute praise, beyond praise, from your Republican friends, but you're not necessarily going to enjoy anything even remotely welcoming from the rest of the world.
[00:09:50]  So what you do is you dial it more towards the middle.
[00:09:54]  And you see, is there any result?
[00:09:56]  No.
[00:09:57]  In fact, Provided you can dial it.
[00:10:01]  But you're dialing it.
[00:10:03]  And you might say, you know what?
[00:10:05]  We still have the hardcore fan base.
[00:10:07]  But we got a few from this group.
[00:10:11]  They're kind of sampling it.
[00:10:12]  Remember, Rush Limbaugh at his prime.
[00:10:16]  Rush Limbaugh at his prime, at his peak, had more liberals listening to him than you could imagine.
[00:10:23]  They'll never tell you that, but it's true.
[00:10:25]  So you dial it more left.
[00:10:26]  More left.
[00:10:28]  And you do it as far as you can.
[00:10:30]  It's almost like titrating, you know, a base or an acid or something.
[00:10:36]  You're titrating it until you get that color change.
[00:10:40]  You're titrating it.
[00:10:42]  And you're moving it, and then you say, okay, now we've gone far enough.
[00:10:46]  Now we're starting to lose the right, and we've already hit critical mass.
[00:10:49]  So this is the new balance.
[00:10:51]  It's the same thing when you run for office.
[00:10:54]  You pivot left or right during the primaries and you tack towards the middle for the general.
[00:10:58]  It's axiomatic.
[00:11:00]  But that's what they're doing right now.
[00:11:03]  And the reason why is multifold.
[00:11:05]  Number one, shareholders' derivative lawsuits, either in actuality or in theory.
[00:11:13]  What does that mean?
[00:11:13]  That means that you're a shareholder.
[00:11:16]  You own stock and you say, hey, you just gave away over three quarters of a billion dollars to some company.
[00:11:23]  Because you didn't reel in your team.
[00:11:26]  You didn't, Murdoch, you didn't pay attention to what was going on.
[00:11:29]  I don't like that.
[00:11:31]  We want you and the board to be either personally liable or bounced or whatever it is.
[00:11:37]  Very serious stuff.
[00:11:38]  That's number one.
[00:11:41]  Number two.
[00:11:43]  Forces from behind the curtain that you may not necessarily know.
[00:11:49]  Not necessarily forces from the shadow government or the invisible empire or whatever you want to call it.
[00:11:56]  But maybe social.
[00:11:58]  Maybe some of the Murdoch boys in their circles.
[00:12:01]  Maybe people were saying, we don't want this.
[00:12:04]  There are other people who might say, listen, I remember one radio person in particular who could not stand Rush Limbaugh but loved him as a product.
[00:12:14]  Had him on his station and instructed all his people, you say anything about Rush Limbaugh and you're out of here.
[00:12:18]  Yeah, but you hate him.
[00:12:19]  It doesn't matter what I hate.
[00:12:20]  I love this.
[00:12:21]  I love this.
[00:12:23]  I might have a McDonald's franchise and never eat there.
[00:12:28]  You know what I'm saying?
[00:12:29]  So there are people who may say, I don't like this model anymore.
[00:12:33]  I'm not crazy about this.
[00:12:34]  This is not worth my...
[00:12:35]  This is big, but...
[00:12:39]  Also keep in mind the issue, which is very important.
[00:12:43]  Their carriage fees are already paid right up front.
[00:12:46]  So don't expect people to say, wow, Tucker Cross, where's all this money going?
[00:12:51]  Well, that's nice, but they've already made their money.
[00:12:54]  That's the way cable works.
[00:12:56]  It doesn't work like a radio station in Des Moines where, hey, this last book was bad.
[00:13:01]  Look at this.
[00:13:02]  We lost that.
[00:13:03]  No, no, no, no.
[00:13:04]  It doesn't work like that.
[00:13:05]  It doesn't work like that.
[00:13:07]  Okay?
[00:13:08]  But there are other factors involved here.
[00:13:11]  So what you're seeing, what you're seeing is a couple of things.
[00:13:17]  Somebody could have done one of two things.
[00:13:19]  First is to go get everybody, to bring everybody in, into the conference room, as they say, and to have Rupert and the boys say, I want you to hear it from me.
[00:13:29]  What made Fox News great, we're not going to veer from.
[00:13:32]  We're going to be more Fox than ever.
[00:13:34]  And whether it's Dominion or Tucker or lawsuits or...
[00:13:38]  Disgruntled or whatever, past employees or producers, we don't care.
[00:13:44]  We're going to keep going.
[00:13:46]  We're going to always improve.
[00:13:47]  We're going to try to make things better.
[00:13:49]  We want this to be a safe workplace, obviously, but we're moving ahead.
[00:13:54]  I want more Fox.
[00:13:56]  This is what brought us to the dance.
[00:13:57]  We're not going to abandon it now.
[00:13:59]  They could do that, or by either expressly stating this or tacitly suggesting it.
[00:14:06]  They could be saying, This isn't working anymore.
[00:14:09]  Watch what you say.
[00:14:11]  We're not going to go through this anymore.
[00:14:13]  The days of Fox, as you knew it, are over with.
[00:14:16]  It's a new world, a new sheriff, a new consideration, a new sensibility.
[00:14:21]  Do you understand what I am saying?
[00:14:23]  That is what I suspect, and that is what you, put it this way, the results of that are what you're most likely and probably seeing.
[00:14:34]  It's not the same.
[00:14:36]  It's just not the same.
[00:14:38]  There's no bite.
[00:14:40]  There's nothing...
[00:14:41]  The one who is really pushing it the most in terms of going after some very serious subjects is Maria Bartiromo.
[00:14:51]  But it's more China.
[00:14:53]  It's still really hard against Biden.
[00:14:57]  Watch what she's doing.
[00:14:58]  She is it.
[00:15:00]  Not only in substance, but in volume and in address.
[00:15:03]  The others...
[00:15:05]  Specifically Nideside?
[00:15:06]  Oh, and the people, they are trying out for Tucker.
[00:15:11]  Anybody who said, you're trying somebody out?
[00:15:13]  Trying out?
[00:15:14]  What is this?
[00:15:15]  The minor leagues?
[00:15:18]  Put it this way.
[00:15:19]  They are the lightest of the lightweights.
[00:15:26]  Seriously.
[00:15:27]  It's almost like they're sending a message.
[00:15:28]  Don't worry.
[00:15:29]  We're going to try to replace Tucker with...
[00:15:32]  You know, Maude Frickert or somebody.
[00:15:35]  For you Jonathan Winters fans.
[00:15:36]  I mean, this is, this is, this is, and B. This is, this is, this is him.
[00:15:42]  With all due respect, these people are nice, but they're just.
[00:15:44]  What is this?
[00:15:46]  What is this, an experiment?
[00:15:48]  Apparently so.
[00:15:49]  Well, guess what?
[00:15:49]  The experiment failed.
[00:15:52]  Watch what happens.
[00:15:53]  Also watch concomitantly how social media is rising to a level When I say social media, I mean streaming and alternative citizen and civilian and foreign news platforms.
[00:16:05]  Watch how they are burgeoning.
[00:16:08]  You are seeing the death now, the last gasps of heritage, conventional, traditional cable news platforms.
[00:16:17]  It's over.
[00:16:18]  Period.
[00:16:20]  They're not going to turn the lights off right now, but it's over, and you can tell it's over.
[00:16:24]  By the subject matter, the volume, and the sting.
[00:16:28]  It's not dangerous anymore.
[00:16:30]  It's middle of the road.
[00:16:32]  It's like watching Kiss.
[00:16:35]  It's like watching a tribute band.
[00:16:37]  A tribute band to themselves.
[00:16:39]  Okay?
[00:16:40]  Alright.
