Afford anything talks about how to avoid common pitfalls, how to refine your mental models, and how to think about how to think. How would a person buy their time? There are technology hacks. There's, of course, income hacks. There's outsourcing. If you got the means, now it's time to take the action and outsource. If you don't have the means, you can't afford to buy back your time. This is the whole point. We want you to stop buying silly objects and start saving so you can get to the position to do these things. Make smarter choices and build a better life. Afford anything, wherever you listen.
So here we go, one more hour on the four hour marathon otherwise known as Dixon and Vining. But if you train for a marathon, you can handle it. And I am certainly adept at talking for as many hours as necessary. So glad to have the opportunity to visit with all of you in this joyous Christmas season. If you're just tuning in here in our final hour, I hope everybody had a wonderful
Christmas celebration as I did looking forward to getting back to Birmingham this afternoon and really kind of getting cranked up for a brand new year with a lot of exciting opportunities. We will be.
Quinn and I over on our sister station here, Jock's 94-5. We will have game time for you, getting you ready for the weekend of bowl game action, including the college football playoff, which will be contested not on the weekend, but on Tuesday night, New Year's Eve, Boise State and Penn State.
and then a trio of games on New Year's Day, which includes some really good matchups, Texas and Arizona State, Ohio State and Oregon in the granddaddy of them all, the Rose Bowl out in Pasadena.
and the sugar ball in New Orleans, Georgia Bulldogs and the Notre Dame fighting Irish. Great games coming up. And also, of course, Alabama is an action on Monday. They play Michigan down in
See teams going to the post this week, including South Carolina at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. You've got Ole Miss playing in the Gator Bowl over in Jacksonville. And LSU will be playing Baylor in Texas. And I think it's just the Texas Bowl, but I'm not completely sure. But anyway, a lot of SEC action going on too. And it's funny in this state, always talking in the past about
football being such the king at Alabama and Auburn and when basketball season rolled around people would just kind of roll their eyes and say well you know Alabama is not really a basketball haven. Well guess what it is now because Auburn and Alabama both have phenomenal teams this year and both have a very good
regular conference season leading up to the March Madness and the NCAA tournament do not be surprised to see a championship banner come back to this state because Alabama Crimson Tide and the Auburn Tigers both capable of winning the whole shooting match.
The SEC Basketball Conference has gotten extremely good and both our in-state teams are just awesome. So a lot to look forward to for sports fans and a lot to look forward to for fans of our country.
talking in the last hour about the Trump administration being a lot more forward in their preparation for this second term, a lot better understanding of all of the the the the a myriad of traps and and
disguised obstacles that are on the treacherous path in what's known as Washington DC. I was talking about Jeff Sessions being kind of the key component to what happened to Trump in his first term because after Sessions supported Trump and was really the first name politician to do so, certainly the first person in the Senate,
Trump rewarded him by allowing him the appointment to his dream job. And that was to be the attorney general of the United States. Been the attorney general in Alabama previously and want to aspire to have that job. But it turned out to be a catastrophic
Sessions stepped into a DOJ that still was completely stocked with Obama-era people in
That is the name of my partner, Terry Quillian. Well, guess what? Sally Quillian Yates is Terry Quillian, my partner's only sibling, her younger sister. And Sally had gone on to a career more in line with kind of the family legacy. Her dad was a legal scholar and a long time appellate judge in Georgia.
Terry had gone a little different direction being a communications expert. She ultimately got into government as well. As I told you, she worked in a couple of presidential administrations and has been heavily involved in political campaigns, educational communications services throughout her career. So they went similar paths, but they took a vastly diverse path
becoming conservative on Terry's side and very I won't call Sally a leftist but she kind of got in league with a lot of the legal proceedings and a lot of the attorneys that kind of lean left and in that case
have a lot more liberal kind of a theory of things. And so Sally and Terry became polar opposites pretty much politically, but still family. And when Sally was famously fired by Donald Trump before Jeff Sessions was even confirmed for announcing that she was not
It was not a travel ban. It was a travel delay, a travel hiatus for some of the most highly terrorist countries in the world. And one of those was North Korea that was not Muslim at all, but people started calling it Trump's Muslim ban. And Sally, of course, on that side of the ledger, announced that she would not direct the Department of Justice
following Leland live every night on jot 94 on 99 5 and of course the media got wind of the fact that Sally sister Terry was a conservative talk show host in Birmingham, Alabama And we had just an unbelievable flood of media attention even HBO and vice news sent down crews to follow us around and and and try and create some kind of
compelling story about the the the fired Sally Yates and and the conservative talk show host sister Terry Quillian and We had crews from all over the southeast of course local media in filming our shows that
the complete firestorm. So getting back to Sessions because he was ultimately confirmed a couple of days later and stepped in at the Department of Justice. But that turned out to be because even though Sally had departed, the entire DOJ he inherited were people that were
Attorney General he's supposed to come in and start to weed those people out and move in his own people and that Well before that happened sessions came in and immediately the media started playing up a lot of associate Had as a senator with certain operatives of the Russian government
to the United States, principally, a guy that sessions visited with often.
job. But at the same time, he was a surrogate on the Trump campaign. So the media started pointing fingers that this was a link that Donald Trump was really a Russian agent, that Donald Trump was was was the benefactor of this misinformation campaign. You remember the whole scandal that that Trump was helped into off
election that there was this big scandal and it had to be investigated. And but with the with Jeff Sessions position to squash any of that because it was all nonsense to start with. They used a lot of those allegations to get Pfizer warrants against Trump.
was discovered by the FBI and other agencies. Comey signed some of those. Sally Yates herself signed one to get the FISA court to continue to authorize them to conduct surveillance and a thorough investigation on the Trump
campaign and then presidency because he was already in the White House by this time. But Jeff Sessions should have been the insurance policy as the Attorney General. But guess what? All of a sudden, without even consulting with Trump, he calls a press conference about 10 days into his stint and announces that because he's been urged by his colleagues that it's inappropriate for him to be in charge of any aspect
of this Russia investigation, since he is implicated as part of it, that he needed to recuse himself from any involvement. He folded like a cheap suit and did that, which exposed Trump to special counsel Robert Mueller, because Rothstein, who was the next in line, took over the lead role
Once again, Rosting was left over from the Obama administration in the Department of Justice. So basically, Jeff Sessions turned over the ability to investigate the current president, and you know what happened.
American taxpayers $50 million and found absolutely nothing that linked Trump to the Russians at all. So the Jeff Sessions was the start of Trump's problems in his first administration.
We're clinkers this time. We're going to have the right people in these offices because what happened in my first presidency to get all of this angst and different situations, everybody in the government was working against me, not for me, this time that's not going to happen. We have a whole lot more. We've got another hour plus to go.
Dixon and Vining on Tuck 1995. It's Dixon and Vining on Tuck 1995. Keep for filling in on this Friday. I've enjoyed every minute of it as we get into the late stages of the program this morning. Stay tuned all day long. Great program.
We've been talking about the upcoming transition of the American government, which is a tradition that stems from the very foundation of this country. On January 20th at noon, the new administration officially begins. Donald Trump, for the second time, will take the oath of office. We are talking about some of the mistakes he made in the first administration, which he readily admits. I love the word clinker.
I hired some clinkers in that first time around. By not having clinkers that were political appointees that were future authors about what a terrible guy Trump is.
He is bringing in his own home team this time. People that he knows are on his side because being in business, even when you take over a business as the CEO or whatever Trump's experience was that those people.
their business to prosperity and success. That's not what he inherited when he became President of the United States in 2016. These people, as I keep saying, are an organism
success they want to attain, the power and control. And as an American, everybody should be agitated by the fact that so much of the regulation and policies and things that we have to adhere to and live by all the way down to consumer products and all the guidelines and everything on that.
prescription drugs that could help tens of millions of people that are just set on a shelf basically awaiting testing and certification, food equality. There's so many aspects of government that are not serving the needs of people but are enhancing the bottom lines and the control and power of those in unelected positions.
There are essential and there are an overwhelming majority of non-essential folks and the fact that Trump is coming in with this kind of attitude that it's time to literally it's not a campaign slogan this time.
drain the swamp this time is the edict from the american people and there is panic in the streets uh... in our nation's capital the doge org outfit which is uh... basically
legislation like we talked about in the first couple of hours, the 2500 page, actually I'm enhancing that, 1500 page bill that was presented to be voted on 24 hours later that had 100 pages addressing continuing to fund the government, that was allegedly the purpose
100 pages that included all kinds of policy, all kinds of changes to protect and enhance the bottom lines of people that are in the legislative area, pay raises for them, protection from confiscation of materials that are being investigated and are demanded by
committees and other agencies. All of that in there along with millions, hundreds of millions of extra dollar, extra spending on every pet project and every special interest group that really supports these people. And this has got to stop. What that really shows us is that
They still are in denial that Washington is going to be fundamentally changed. They're going to resist it all they can. But this time, you've got a lethal force of two of the most. You've got Trump appointees in all of these key bureaus departments and agencies like Cash Patel coming into the FBI. He's already said the FBI building in Washington, which has
thousands of employees. He says a lot of those people are going to be almost the the overwhelming majority are going to be sent out into the field to do an amazing thing for the federal Bureau of Investigation investigate and solve crimes instead of just being this bureaucratic politicized agency that's been run by the
pointy another clinker after James Comey was fired Chris Christie of all people who was in charge of his transition team that didn't happen this time Chris Christie was not working in
strongly recommended Christopher Ray who pulled off a successful interview with Trump and got the FBI director's job that he still has. He has been an absolute nightmare. The FBI really representative of the kind of corruption in our government. They had the Hunter Biden laptop three months before the election. They knew.
And yet they were sending agents physically. Mark Zuckerberg with Facebook has testified to Congress that the FBI weekly came to meet with them, the Google executives, the people that then Twitter that's now ex
Bureau of Investigations sent agents to warn them that there was going to be Russian misinformation coming in the form of allegations against Joe Biden and Joe Biden's son when they knew damn well exactly that that information was not allegations. It was substantiated on the computer that
This is what was going on. The politicization of all of our branches of government is just what the forefather's biggest fear was, and it's got to be reversed, and it's got to be stopped. And let's see if this administration can pull it off. Bottom of the hour, another break coming up. 30 minutes to go. We will finish strong here. Stay with us. You're listening to Dixon and Vine and Kip Kiefer filling in on this Friday.
I'm an old track announcer from way back when I did horse at Greyhound Racing early in my career as I was supposed to be the next great play by play man on network TV, Al Michaels and all those guys would have had to take it.
but my old horse racing and Greyhound racing announcing leads me to tell you that and down the stretch we come here on Dixon and Vining this morning as we wind it down the final 30 minutes of a four hour show that I hope you've been able to catch a lot of we've been covering a wide range of subjects but I cannot leave you without my take on something that everybody's been
What's going on? That's intentional. And I'll tell you my theory of what I think is why. Talking about drones. Yes, drones, the new flying devices. It was in Best Buy doing some Christmas shopping the other day. Solid display of drones on sale on your store shelves.
Um, they becoming, they're becoming more and more commonplace. The guy who took a shot or several shots at Donald Trump, who did not end well for him in Butler, Pennsylvania had not won, but. A day in Butler, uh, he had actually flown one around prior to the, uh, the event of where he got up.
totally undetected by all of the Secret Service who is now brilliant administrator Alejandro Mayorkas Secret Service was its own entity had its own operational situation for many many years as part of the Department of Treasury
treasury but because of what happened on 9-11 the secret service got land security and the reason for that looking back is that one of the things
to be hit on 9-11-2001 was the fact that we had all kinds of agencies and all kinds of different intelligence operations not working in conjunction.
competition and a turf war of who had jurisdiction and priority in all these different areas, which is absolutely mind boggling and stupid and back to the inefficient, which is of course the doge mission, is to find efficiency in government. And here we are, all these years later, 23 years after that fact,
where I don't see major improvement in coordination of all these agencies and all of these intelligence operations.
where the determination of failure was made a quarter century ago. But that being said, you know, the drone thing is really maddening and baffling
and frustrating because you've had these massive drone sightings, particularly over New Jersey and New York, but it's not limited to there. There's been a report recently that in San Francisco, there was at a military installation there that there was a drone activity and a rest was made of an illegal in the country of
come off on my head because figure skating popped into my mind.
Back in, and I don't remember the year, the two top figure skaters in America were Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding. Tonya Harding had come from a rather non-descript background where Tonya Harding, Tonya Harding came from that. Nancy Kerrigan came from more
families that could get their kids the best in training and whatever. Tanya Harding was kind of the underdog who had overachieved to attain her skill and fame. But right before, about three months before the Olympics, after finishing a practice session at a rink, Nancy Kerrigan came off the ice only to be attacked by some gigantic,
code turned out his name. I forgot his last name was Shane somebody. But anyway, he hit her knee with the baseball bat force with like a crowbar, a tire tool. And it made no sense. Why would somebody attack Nancy Kerrigan and hit her with a metal object on her knee? And
All this speculation about what could have caused this and why this guy had this resentment for her and would do such a thing. My mind immediately went to the obvious solution. Tonya Harding, because Nancy Kerrigan had been beat.
David to win the gold medal and it turned out that just a few days later, the whole thing unraveled her boyfriend, a guy named Jeff Gluley, his friend Shane Eckert, I think his last Eckhart was his last name, went and
the obvious suspects uh... who was going to benefit you have to ask yourself that question and in this case i went back to that uh... solution
that Tanya Harding could possibly have had him to do with it. She still denies that she even had knowledge of it, that it was all done by her boyfriend, Galloulli, although she did say that the night of that happening, they were so exhilarated that they conducted all kinds of passionate activities in celebration.
was innocent in that situation. I digress back to the current drone discussion because if you look at the situation practically of all of these increased drone sightings, you have to ask yourself who benefits from this and who is the likely suspect. And the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party stands out like a sore thumb.
They have already, of course, floated the gigantic balloon over American military installations and power sources and infrastructure, and President Joe Biden ignored it basically until he was pressured that it needed to be shot down, but they waited till
the continental United States. There have been more incursions and recently the Chinese which is not a country where there's freedom of movement in this gigantic of migrants and they're not immigrants. Immigration is a legal process. These are migrants
Chinese have come into the United States. All of them, military-aged, good-shaped men wearing similar costumes, carrying almost the exact same satchel or backpack or whatever it was.
I mean, this is an organized operation. These aren't bedraggled migrants coming from China. You don't just stroll over here from there. These people are in this country for a purpose. It is elementary, if you think about it. The Chinese are obsessed with charting and learning as much through technology. TikTok is a front for mining information from Americans across the country.
And these 35,000 children, certainly, basically in uniform, are a military incursion, in my opinion, that have developed this drone program and is kind of blending it in with the commercial success of drones now, where every hobbyist is flying them.
and also corporations are experimenting with drones for things like deliveries and Amazon has been working on that program for a long time. So the increase of drone activity around American military installations.
uh... it it's pretty elementary to me that a lot of this is being perpetrated by this invasion force of chinese migrants in the united states and i don't i think the government knows that i think they are well that to you the american people because that's another just unbelievable failure if that
he stopped, and they're just trying to kind of cover it up and make it go in a way and not alarm you of another major failing that this administration, not the Biden administration, the de facto third time around for the Barack Obama administration with all of his operatives and all of his security advisors, that to me is a
phone mystery is all about one final segment to go we will be back with that and wrap it up on this Friday morning right after this
Well, one thing I've always believed, this is Kip Kiefer by the way, if you're just tuning in, I've been filling in for Dixon and Vining for all four hours of the show. And I've always functioned under the belief of Finnish Strong. So here's the theme for the last few minutes of the show this morning. Woke is up in smoke. That's one thing that needs to be reverberated all around this country.
track. We need to partner up with all of our American brothers and sisters of all persuasions, all colors, all creeds, all religions, all sexual inclinations. Anything, everything American is what we need to emphasize.
stress enough that all of this attempt by the whole woke crowd for the last two decades needs to just be completely eliminated they have tried and tried to divide us to put us in different buckets to try and classify people of different persuasions as something
that have people that have nothing in common when in fact we have everything in common and the greatest thing is we are americans and have the greatest opportunity on earth to live in the greatest country ever conceived the audacious experiment called the united states of america the key word in the woke is up in smoke movement
deportation. And I know what your mind goes to right away. When I say that, it is shipping out millions of these people that have come into this country illegally that have been
intentionally imported into the country, particularly people coming from around the world. They didn't get here by walking to America and they didn't cross the border, be dragged and bloodied and battered from their ordeal. Most of them came in new clothes carrying cell phones and had information on what to do and who to contact.
by illegal Mexican cartel operations at the border, which is a threat that Donald Trump is going to need to address because we watch what happens in Israel with these terrorist organizations on their border.
This is not that much different because the more you let these cartels make billions of dollars, importing drugs, killing our young people with fentanyl, bringing all of these people into our country, including people that are convicted felons, violent criminals. We've got major gangs in our country like Trendy Augway from Venezuela, which was a prison gang.
This was a group in Venezuelan prisons. Uh, their secret societies that open up and develop in incarceration situations were prison gangs kind of terrorize everybody else in the population, other prisoners, guards, et cetera. And now they were let out and imported to America. We've got a Venezuelan prison gang.
is now infesting of much of our major cities and they are conducting criminal operations and they are cruel and they are heartless and they are relentless. They need to go. So yes, that is what I'm talking about with deportation. But the other deportation that I'm talking about is thousands of people working in the federal government in the DC deep
back to wherever they came from and resume normal jobs in regular life because as we've stressed over these last couple days they say essential employees in the government will be maintained and compensated but they don't mention the other group of employees which obviously if they're not a sense if they're not called essential they're not essential and they need to be deported from washington and sent back across the country to pursue
and me and everybody else in this country already $35 trillion in debt do not need to be subsidizing the basic freelancing of people by the tens of thousands that are in our federal government and are being compensated every week. Not even going into the office. They're still operating under 2020 COVID emergency procedures. It's got to stop folks. Elon Musk
by that grandma swami godspeed and fixing it all up that's what we've been talking about the last couple of days let's see if this is going to be the great transformation of america back on track the direction we want it all to go again it's been a privilege and a pleasure
to always come to 99 five listeners. Again, I have so much respect for all of you and all the folks at Cumulus Birmingham that put on the show every day.
This is a unique operation in this country. I travel extensively. There are not many stations anymore that have live local programming from start to finish in their broadcast day. And I am proud to say that I was the founder of the six to seven hour
with the original show in that time slot the ride home. We extended it from 12 hours 6 to 6 to 6 to 7. Always thought that was still drive time and it should be extended. So I'm kind of the father of that basic inclusion in the schedule. So I've got a little history here, but I admire everybody who puts on the show every day.
and all of my great friends there who honor me by allowing me to come and appear and talk to you all on a regular basis. All the time, over on the sports side, 94-5 Jock's FM, tomorrow morning 8 a.m. Terry Quill, you and I will be here for Jock for
the big weekend games start talking about the quarter final round of the college football playoffs SEC team still involved Texas and Georgia Alabama plays Michigan on Monday in the rely quest bowl down in Tampa
And as I mentioned, basketball looks really exciting this year as both Alabama and Auburn have fantastic teams both capable of winning a national championship. So from a sporting standpoint, lots to do. We're also on ABC 3340 every Saturday morning. You can see myself.
The legend from the Paul Feynbaum Show, the illustrious first lady of SEC football, my partner, Terry Quillien, and casekeeper right here from Las Vegas.
country, we come to you with the starting lineup and we're talking to ABC 33 40 about extending that beyond football season and just becoming more of a general kind of weekend show that you can tune in and see all kinds of interesting celebrities. We recently had Taylor Hicks on, Paul Feynbaum, James Spann, the weather guru, the most popular face in Alabama.
Thank you all so much for listening on these last couple of days. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. Let's hope it's the greatest year ever for you and for our country. Have a face. You met Lala Kent on Vanderpump Rules. Now, Lala and her friends share everything on Give them Lala. First time that I've been away from Sosa. Day one of being called. Tell her the phone calls. So how far are you? Well, she's just like really hungry. All right.
