In this episode we discuss the article found in the Washington Blade, DC's LGBT newspaper and website, written by a former acquaintance (at best) named Peter Rosenstein. The article, "Say No to DC Ranked Choice Voting, Open Primaries," is his Op-Ed on why HE wants you to vote "No" on both measures - with no sound reason provided....

Do You Support Trump?

In this episode, Yergz shares with us his method to Self-Educate, and the seven steps that provided him with a wealth of success and knowledge.
First, Yergz recommends setting a goal and sticking to it. Remove distractions and start your education (or any other project) with the end goal in mind.
Then do a generic search; Google, major websites, human sources are, literally, your friends.
Third, move to a more focused search. Take your broader search and pinpoint the info your wanting to learn about.
Then collate, and build your content according the the timeline that you've established.
Finally, Yergz help you evaluate, and realize how much you suck, as you look objectively at your own work, and ask others for their opinion, as well.
Ultimately, Yergz advises to repeat this process to establish a rhythm and maintain consistency as you continue to learn additional information.

7 Steps to Self Educate

With the success of his video birthday tribute to Paul Harvey, Yergz decided to feature another great broadcaster that he admires; Howard Stern. Yergz starts off with Howard's early beginnings in New York as a child in his father's production studio, before moving on to Boston University and WTBU and "The King Schmaltz Bagel Hour." 
Next, it's off to the Developmental Years for Howard, beginning in Briarcliff, New York, at WRNW, followed by WCCC in Hartford, where he first meets "Frightening" Fred Norris. It was here that he got to do his first talk show - on Sunday Mornings! 
Then it was off to Detroit, where his station, WWWW, decided,
literally overnight, that they were making the move to Country Music. Howard decided that he didn't want to be "Hop Along Howie," so he packed up again and this time landed in Washington, DC. 
He next landed at WWDC - DC 101, where he'd eventually meet
Robin Quivers, and reunite with Fred Norris. But it wasn't before DC 101 management didn't know what to do with him, so he was fired, but after he already signed a contract with WNNNNBC - The Major Leagues of radio! 
He wasn't even settled in, and there was already trouble. NBC
hired him strictly on his numbers; he got great ratings in DC. But they didn't HEAR him. It wasn't until he appeared on NBC Magazine's feature on "Shock Radio" that upper management at NBC realized what they've done. Still alone, and with Robin pissed, Howard eventually talks NBC into hiring Robin and Fred. 
This is also where Howard started getting national exposure,
like "Late Night with David Letterman," and "People Magazine," all thanks to his new "Super Agent," Don Buchwald. But from simply doing his job, NBC fired all three of them in September of 1985. One month later, Howard and Company would sign with Infinity Broadcasting and stay in New York to "Kick NBC's ass!" 
Howard signed a five-year $500,000 deal with Infinity. Soon
after, he arrived at the coveted morning slot, followed by syndication to Philadelphia. Then back to DC, Baltimore, and Los Angeles! 
Howard also worked on other projects. He created a pilot to
replace Joan Rivers at Fox, but it didn't work out. Then he created
"Howard Stern's Negligee and Underpants Party," as well as a TV show what was filmed in New Jersey. He also did "Crucified by the FCC," a box set containing the bits that Howard couldn't do on the air. 
Back in the spotlight, Howard appeared in "Rolling Stone," who said he was fast tracked to multimedia stardom." He also appeared on the E! network, and as "Fartman" during the 1992 MTV Music Video Awards.

Yergz and Howard Stern Go UTM

In this episode, we take a look at historical comparisons of poll numbers to fund raising. While Yergz reminds you that the only poll that counts is the one of Election Day.
Yergz suggests that you "follow the money." Not like in a fraud investigation, but the totality of the individual campaign contributions for each quarter. This is a challenge to the traditional amount of weight placed on polling.  But due to some outside influence, Yergz suggests that a more organic or authentic view is from the hard earned money donated by individuals.
Next, Yergz goes back as far as 2008 and looks at "normal" presidential campaigns, but also looks at the anomaly known as Donald Trump, and MAGA.
Has voting for Presidents come back to the age of "lesser of two evils"?  Currently, more people find all of the candidates less favorable, than favorable.  But President Biden holds the slight edge...
Does that mean that he's disliked less, so we like him more?
Do you think that the financial advantage is a political advantage?  Do you think that it is indicative of the American People?

Who's Really Leading; Polls vs Fund Raising

Going into Friday's interview, and confirmed then, and with things I've learned, after, I expected to not get the whole truth.


This description is short, in the interest of time, so that I can get it dropped and available. That being said, I've already been accused of slander and defamation; a tactic the Skelton campaign used before. Nevertheless, my 20+ pages of show notes will show otherwise.


For your review....
