Relationships matter because people buy people. And that’s why I buy Eddie Zuran

0:14
Insurance of the Zuran Insurance Agency in Pensacola, Florida. A family-owned business with over 50 years in the

0:22
business, and they treat people the right way. From homeowners insurance to contractor’s insurance, condo insurance, commercial insurance, all the different

0:31
coverages that are out there, and of course, auto insurance. They’ve got you covered. They worry about you first.

0:39
You’re more than a policy number. You’re a person who they’re watching out for, not when the sun is shining, but after

0:47
the hurricane has left. If you want real service with real savings, contact Eddie

Give them a call today. You’ll be glad you did when you do.

I’ve got friends in low places, but in addition

1:10
to friends in low places, I have friends in high places like Gene Valentino. Good morning, Gene.

1:17
Good morning, Ted. Good morning, Pine Belt.

1:19
Yeah, it’s… you know, this one thing about it, win, lose, or draw, whatever happens in this world, it’s going to be a gorgeous weekend. And

1:27
Saturday night, the temperature in Hattiesburg is… it’s supposed to go down to, let me see, Saturday 47° and northerly

1:36
wind. So, it’s…

Yeah, you know, they say some of the best flying is right after the storm. We have a lot of sport flying over

1:44
here, and we take the plane up right after things like storms or hurricanes because of the convective currents, as they

1:52
call it. It’s like a vacuum or a flushing out of humidity, and weather kind of clears the air,

2:01
and sure enough, after this recent hurricane we had, you could see clear skies for a few days, and that’s what we’re experiencing. Hopefully it’ll hold

2:10
through the weekend. You going to try to do any flying this weekend?

2:14
I am. I’m trying to get up today or tomorrow. I may do so. I got a few things to handle, but oh boy, you’re

2:22
keeping me busy. There’s a lot of new stuff going on. Wondering what’s coming next at that.

2:27
You know, I was thinking about that, Gene, when we were talking about the program today. I can remember years ago a Republican running against a Democrat for

2:35
anything. Somebody says, “I don’t know if I’ll vote or not. It doesn’t really matter—they’re both about the same.” Or the others say, “Well, if Joe gets

2:43
elected instead of Frank, it’s not the end of the world.” We no longer enjoy anything like that. There’s the biggest contrast, to me, between parties that

2:51
I’ve ever seen in my life. And even for my good Democratic friends, if you’re out there, your party is going downhill. I don’t know what

3:00
happened. Has this been a slow trend or all of a sudden just big time?

3:04
No, I think it’s the confluence of so many issues converging at the same

3:12
time. You have a sentiment in the United States right now that’s looking seriously at the future of this

3:20
nation, as it should. You have some people who would like to complain and

3:27
have things handed to them because they figure the whole system is so rigged, so let me just blow it up and change it.

3:37
You have another group of people that seem to think that they’re being simply denied the right to advance in the

3:45
economy and society, and are on the outside looking in. And then you have another group of people that basically

3:52
say, “You know, let’s just follow along and get back to normal. Let’s change

4:01
things.” One of the single biggest game-changers that God has given this society

4:09
is a guy by the name—you’re going to think I’m going to say Donald Trump—is a guy by the name of Elon Musk.

4:19
Elon Musk: a guy who builds an electric automobile on a scaled basis nationwide;

4:30
a guy who, in parallel, puts rockets into orbit and even saves some astronauts who

4:38
are stranded up there; a guy who has his Starlink telecommunication system now

4:45
being expanded to handle not only the communication of your voice and mine, but the communication of data; who’s talking

4:54
about portals in space or centers of data, labs, and data centers. And guess what? People complaining here on Earth about whether they’re going to be taking too much water or too much

5:11
energy… in my words, he’s got it all set up to be self-running in these little satellite modules low-orbiting around the Earth in outer space. He is a man who, by any standard,
