Guys the Cardinals are five and oh for the first time since 1970 for their outscoring opponents by more than 12 points per game. It's the second best point differential in the league right now. Now as for the Browns they've been leaning heavily on their running back and Nick Chubb he's second in the league in rushing has five carries of at least 20 yards that is most in the NFL. Cleveland a three-point home favorite here. Dave you are alongside Andrew Filiponi sports radio host from Pittsburgh. You guys are going to bet this game and Dave I'm coming right to you first. What you got? Well remember the Cardinals season long win total was eight and a half so they're already five and oh they're going to lose this game by the way but when they're five and one after this game they should be doing back flips being so excited about where they're at. Look they've had back to back division games and now they're going to Cleveland who is going to run it down their throat. Not only is Chubb second cream hunt is 14th in the league as a backup running back. I mean that one two punch is incredible. The last four weeks the Cardinals have given up 152 rushing yards a game. I mean I just don't see Pony how they're going to be able to stop this running game from the Browns. Well you know real estate's location location location and I think that's what this game really boils down to. Where's the game being played. It's in Cleveland and for the Browns that's paramount because when they've lost it's been in places like Kansas City and Los Angeles this year. I think this location the dog pound behind Baker Mayfield going to prop them up and I think that's enough to get the Browns to win and the cover on Sunday. There it is Browns giving three. Thank you Pony. Time now to take our research to the next level here for that. We turn to next gen stats for analytical perspective on this matchup. The NFL analyzes the location speed and acceleration of every player on every play and then creates these various data sets that we get to tap into. So add your analytics guy give us a stat that you're using from that next level data set that's going to help us bet this Cardinals Browns game. Let's talk about last week and we had been waiting for some time for DeAndre Hopkins to become wide receiver one again since that week one performance and we got it last week against the Niners. Here's his route chart with most of his success happening outside the numbers. His catch rate over expected was an impressive 18.3 percent in part because a handful of his six receptions were deep. His air yards per target was 16 yards and again he was the primary target accounting for 74.3 percent of the Cardinals air yard share. Even if Hopkins has a quiet day Arizona has other weapons who can step up here. So I'm going to take Arizona to cover. There you go. Arizona likes to hear that awesome next level info from this next gen stats. If you want to tail head go ahead and take the Cardinals getting those points a winning fifty dollar bet means you will collect more than ninety two dollars.

Let's turn our attention now to the Los Angeles Chargers heading east to take on the Ravens in a matchup between two four and one teams two teams that look very good and are led by their quarterbacks for the Chargers. Justin Herbert coming off a career high three hundred ninety eight yards passing against Cleveland also tied a career high with four touchdowns in that game as well.  He's fifth in the league in passing yardage ranks eighth in rushing yards eighth. I am so excited for this game. The Ravens are giving three Pony reeling you back in here. Where's your money on this matchup. I'm going to go Baltimore. You know things have gone outside of Lamar Jackson's breakthrough as a passer. So many things have gone against them running back injuries in the preseason. Their offensive line has struggled their defense frankly doesn't look right for me. And yet here they are at four and one. The last time we saw the Chargers come east Dave they were very lucky to win against Washington. And we know the football team isn't on the same level as Baltimore. They don't have a quarterback like Lamar Jackson. So for those reasons I'm going to take the Ravens to cover.  Carson Wentz whose previous high passing this year was 251 yards hung up 402 yards against the Ravens secondary last week. I mean what is Justin Herbert going to do throw for 600 yards. I mean Carson Wentz getting 400 that is not a good thing. Baltimore has absolutely zero running game right now. All their best running backs got hurt before the season started. They're running on fumes there. Look Lamar just cannot do everything himself. Got away with it last week against this very very good talented Chargers team. I don't think he's going to be able to put the team on his back and carry them like he did two consecutive weeks. I'm going to go with the Chargers. Let's see whose performance shines through the most. Thank you guys. And hey if you like Lamar Jackson and the Ravens giving those points you got to do you.

Hey Lisa the first value this week he's only $5,200. I like Daryl Williams for the Kansas City Chiefs. Clyde Edwards Alair has an MCL sprain. He's going to be out a few weeks. Now we shouldn't expect Daryl Williams to step in and be a workhorse in this backfield but he's likely going to be the 1A in this offense. Last week he saw more work on the ground than back up Jerick McKinnon and he out targeted McKinnon five to two. This week the Chiefs get Washington and they have the highest implied team total on this slate by far. So with Williams you're getting a relevant piece in this offense who can see some goal line work in the offense. He's only $5,200 making him a really good value. Next there's Michael Pittman. Pittman finally found the end zone in week five after seeing tons of volume through the air over the first four weeks of the season. Pittman now has seen at least a 20% target share in each of his last four games. He's only one of 10 wide receivers with a share that high over the last four weeks against Houston. Pittman should pay off this $5,800 price tag.  Only Najee Harris and Alvin Kamera have a higher target share this season than DeAndre Swift does and that could come in handy against Cincinnati because this season the Bengals are allowing the highest target share per game to the running back position and that's even the case when you adjust for strength of opponent. So DeAndre Swift at $7,100 I think he's a pretty nice value. Well done. There you have it. Go to fandal.com, sign up for free DFS competitions right now and of course each week of the NFL season.

Hit up his podcast as well, the late round podcast on Apple Podcasts. Back to our game previews now and the four and one Cowboys are in New England. Dallas has won four in a row in those games. Guys, the Cowboys led the NFL in rushing yards with more than 800. They're second in yards per rush at five and a half. And you look at the other side, the Patriots snapped their two game losing streak with the win over the Texans last week, scoring those final 16 points of the game, including a game winning field goal with 15 seconds to go. The Cowboys a three and a half point road favorite. Ed, turning to you here. Who are you backing here? Well, one of the things that we've talked about for the Cowboys for a long time is the reason why they haven't been championship contenders is the defense, right? Well, now the defense looks pretty legitimate and now they're getting another good opportunity to take down say a rookie quarterback. And this is what's great about the Cowboys here. It's what they do vis-à-vis the Blitz quarterback pressure rate on Blitz is 41.3% 22.7% were not blitzing. That difference is the second best in football. When you look at the Patriots defense, their pressure when blitzing is 18.9%, but more than 26% when non blitzing. And so the Patriots actually get worse when they send that extra rusher. And so Cowboys are great with blitzing. The offense is absolutely stout with Dak Prescott. They are better in all three phases. So to me, that's an easy Cowboys cover. Well, I think that's Dan Quinn comes in and the Cowboys are lucky to get him. He's turned this defense around and they are pointed in the right direction. Great points. I just wanted to add that as I turn it over to you. They're doing great. And people are just going to think they're going to roll into New England and continue this. But I think both offensively and defensively, this is the team that thrives are so fast on turf and indoors and in domes. But when you take them outside the last 10 games they played outdoors, they won once. And that was against Cincinnati late last year that had two wins and also didn't have Joe Burrow. So they beat Brandon Allen and the Bengals last year. That's your only win in the last 10 games outdoors. You take them and it's an environment on the grass outdoors in New England. I don't think it's going to be the same result. I think this is an upset alert here with the Patriots. All right. Thank you, Dave. Time now to get to prime time. And we're starting with Sunday night football and digging right in. Seattle is in Pittsburgh, both teams two and three. Steelers working running back at Najee Harris had his first 100 yard rushing game last week, finished with 122 yards and a touchdown in that win against Denver. But Pittsburgh did lose Juju Smith Schuster to a dislocated shoulder. He's undergoing surgery expected to miss the rest of the season. Injuries for the Seahawks as well in a big one. Quarterback Russell Wilson underwent surgery on the middle finger of his throwing hand, meaning his 149 consecutive game streak will end. He's likely out at least four weeks. Geno Smith will be under center. The Steelers are giving four and a half points. Ed, who do you have in this Sunday night matchup? The most important injury when analyzing this game is what's going on with Seattle's quarterback. So let's diagnose Geno Smith and actually figure out what we're dealing with here. When you look at his EPA in terms of different parts of the field on short throws, which is from zero to nine yards is totally PA is 6.2. Now keep in mind. This is a super small sample size. He only played in part of that Thursday night game on quick throws. Total EPA 5.1. That's less than two and a half seconds, which is not too shabby. Whenever he Geno Smith did not feel any pressure, meaning that there wasn't a rush or within two yards of him, his total EPA was 6.7. These are all decent numbers. They're not outstanding, but it does point to the game plan that Seattle will employ here. And that is super short, super quick throws. And for that reason, I feel like that Seattle can at least keep this close and cover the four and a half pony. Well, last time Geno Smith started a game in the NFL, Edward, his coach got fired. That was in New York. It was such a controversial move to go to Geno Smith over Eli Manning. The guy is a journeyman quarterback for a reason. And for the Steelers, TJ Watts, 100% healthy now that defense rebounded against Denver and played an excellent game for about two and a half quarters last week. And so there's no way with the stakes here with all that's on the line for the Steelers trying to get back to 500. I can't bet Geno Smith. The number is not big enough. Give me the Steelers minus four and a half. All right, guys, now moving on to the Monday night matchup. The bills travel to Tennessee to take on the Titans. Buffalo had a statement win last week, beating the Chiefs at Arrowhead, 38 to 21, the fourth straight week. The number one scoring offense in the league has scored more than 30 points. They are on fire, you guys. For the Titans, no surprise, workhorse running back. Derek Henry leads the league in rushing, but the next closest back trails him by more than 115 yards. Guys, the Titans are five and a half point home underdogs. Pony coming right back to you. Who do you have here? Remember last time we saw the bills in Titans? Didn't Derek Henry like steal a man's soul against the bills? He took Josh Norman out of commission with that stiff arm. It was incredible. I think it's too many points here. The bills have been excellent, but it's on the road. Can you slow down Derek Henry? And not only that, we're starting to see the Titans get their weapons back healthy. AJ Brown last week. I just think Buffalo, there's so much of a recency bias, Dave, because what they did in Kansas City, I think this is going to be the game of the year for the Titans. They might win this one outright. They haven't been this big of a home dog since Andrew Luck was still playing for the Colts back in 2018. You never see them getting five and a half at home. This is absolutely a mirror of what happened last year. Buffalo is on a four game winning streak. Head into Tennessee and you're right about that. Henry went for two touchdowns. Tannehill went for three and another on the ground. 42 to 16. Tennessee, I see this maybe happening again. Here's the other big factor. Is there a chance that Buffalo pushed all their chips in last week against Kansas City and left their game on the field there and could come up empty in this game? Another reason why I like the Titans. Love the numbers. Love the context. Do you know I'm here for it? Now I just need more. Let's sit back in on those next gen stats and Ed, you use these next gen stats to pick the Cardinals Browns game earlier in the show today. Now I want you to dip back into that bag and give us three bets that you think are good value right now in the Fandals Sportsbook. It's not the high profile games are always looking for. It's the ones where we can find the most value and Miami Jacksonville is one of those. Dolphins are off to a one and four start quarterback to a tag of Viola coming off IR, but will it be enough to salvage the season? Well, look at his quarterback grid from what little he's played so far. Not encouraging. You see a lot of red signifying his passer rating to those parts of the field below Lee Gavrange. It's led to a completion percentage over expected of negative 7.6 percent. The game plan for him is straightforward. Get rid of the ball quickly. More than 54 percent of his throws take less than two and a half seconds from the snap. The routes thrown to are largely in the flat or they are slant routes and those are some of the higher rates among starting QBs. Their opponent in the Jaguars. They play about as much base defense as anyone. So that personnel issue could be a concern and it could be a great matchup for Jacksonville. So I had the Jags covering next Vikings running back to Alvin Cook missed another game. So Alexander Madison came on in week five. His box score numbers were humongous, but if you look at his carry chart, his next gen stats, they were a little more muted. He was used a lot, but notice the number of yellow lines signifying short games. His rushing yards over expected was only 12. Not a large number, but not a bad one either. From this chart, you can see that a lot of those runs were to the right side. 72 percent of the strong side to be more precise. Credit the big guys in front of them for that. Madison spent on average 3.02 seconds behind the line of scrimmage. Good small numbers showing once he got the rock, he was ready to roll. Vikings run game. Yeah, it's solid, but there is room for improvement and the challenge is real against a tough Carolina front. So I'm leaning Panthers there. Finally, Detroit is winless so far. Jared Goff has had a lot of mediocre performances, but Sunday that was a clunker. Here's his pass chart from week five against the Vikings. So far, Minnesota isn't even the toughest pass defense the Lions have faced, but it was stout enough to help Goff to a completion percentage over expected. A negative 1.2 percent Goff largely kept his throw short. Average depth of target was only 6.7 yards. That's one of the shallower marks of any starter this season. He only threw deep or beyond 20 yards, 5.7 percent of the time. What's interesting is in LA, Goff was a play action machine. Now the Lions run play action just 19 percent of the time. One of the lower marks in football, unless the infrastructure improves, Detroit is not keeping up in a track meet against the surging Bengals. So I'm taking Cincinnati to cover as one of my favorite bets of the week. Oh, well played. That's a mess there in Detroit. Thank you, Ed. Awesome stuff there. Take that info, use it to place your bets right now on the Fandals Sportsbook app. You can place a wager on the bets we just talked about or hundreds of others. They are available right now. It's the Fandals Sportsbook app. Let's move on here in time to speed things up and hit our betting markets with some quick picks here. We're shouting out your local teams as we rip through the rest of the week six late here. Guys, I give you the game. You have 10 seconds to give me your pick. Let's roll. Dave Denver hosting the Raiders in an AFC West showdown. Obviously news this week, John Gruden stepping down as Raiders head coach that continues to play out both teams here three and two Broncos are giving three and a half. How do you play it? I think the coaching change actually helps the Raiders in this game, but I don't think they're good enough to beat the Broncos. We've seen that the Raiders just cannot defend these teams that have a pass for us like the Bears and the Chargers last two weeks. I think Denver gets to Derek Carr enough, 27-17 Broncos. All right, Ed. Washington hosting the Chiefs both teams two and three. Washington getting six and a half at home. Nice little bitterness there.  Well, here's the deal. Washington's defensive success rate ranks 18th out of 32 NFL teams. You'd expect it to be a lot better by this point, and this defense is having trouble getting secondary sacks, and now they're getting Pat Mahomes and company, and they're a little ticked off. KC covers big time. Let's get to you, Pony. Four and one Green Bay at three and two Chicago Bears getting four and a half. I mean, there's a lot of value in the Bears because it's hard to set a line right now on Justin Fields. He makes that Bears offensive line better, and their defense is rounding into four. I'm going to take Chicago. All right, Dave, one and four Giants getting nine and a half points at home against the four and one Rams. It's the biggest spread of the week, which you think? Well, the Giants obviously have some major injury problems on offense, but there are some teams like the Rams that just don't get up for these bad teams. Last year, they lost at home to the Jets as a 17 and a half point favorite, and they didn't cover against the Giants as a big favorite last year either. So I say the Rams come a little bit flat and do not cover. I'll take New York. It's a big line. All right. And the Giants are home this week, as I mentioned, which means the party returns to New Jersey and the Fandals Sportsbook at the Meadowlands is the place to be. The Fandals Sportsbook opens seven days a week. Come watch Wager and win with your favorite teams and players.

We move from ponies to dogs in time to give some underdogs a little love here. Cole Wright is off this week, but he's hit his last six moneyline picks. You guys, he's six for six in the last four weeks. Got the Eagles over the Panthers last week. So guys, I'm just going to say this now, big shoes to fill here. Give me one moneyline moneymaker for week six. Dave, I'm going to come to you first. What you got? Well, I'm going to go with the Patriots. I just think the Cowboys are a completely different team. Outdoors versus indoors is an outdoor game, an environment that will be hostile. So give me the Patriots to upset the Cowboys. I am taking Las Vegas to upset Denver. There have been a number of situations where we've seen teams deal with a lot of adversity, overcome those challenges and then look absolutely fantastic and come out with an upset win. And I think given what Derek Carr has shown throughout his entire pro career and the remaining leadership with Las Vegas, I trust this group to knock off Denver. Yeah, I'm going to go bigger go home here. Sorry, Lisa. I'm going to take Washington at home against Kansas City. The Chiefs remind me of like a former heavyweight champion boxer that almost like needs to get to the end of a round here or something. They need a bi-week, something to kind of get them back recalibrated. I just don't get it with them. The turnovers on offense, the defense has been abysmal. And I think Heineck, he's actually okay up and down. He might get hot this game. Give me Washington. Big moneyline play. You know, Pony, I'm not even mad about that to be completely honest with you. And Clyde Edwards-Hilaire, he just went on IR as well. So now they're without him a little bit of a mess in Kansas City. Maybe they can go on the road and fix this. I don't know. But go ahead and tail those upset picks or, hey, make any other bet on the Fandalsportsbook app right now. Risk-free up to $1,000. All you got to do is sign up for a Fandalsportsbook account.

So let's give some props to Dave here. Dave, you hit your 14 parlay last week. A $1,000 risk-free bet collected $5,150. Pony, virtual fist bump to YouTube, by the way. You parlayed the bucks minus 10 and the over. Your $1,000 risk-free bet paid out more than $3,500. If I was back there and could make graphics and stuff and put some music to it, I would. But anyway, let's do it again for week six. Dave, you're up first. Give us something that's going to hit. Yeah, I mean, I know these weekly winning parlays are really boring pony, but I'm going to give you another one here, pony. I'm going to go $1,000 parlay. Patriots on the money line. The Broncos on the money line as a favorite. And then the over in the Browns and the Cardinals. Reminiscent of last week, the Browns are going to open up a huge lead. Like, did they get this to Chargers? Except they didn't hold on. They'll hold on this week, but Arizona will get their share of points as well. So three team parlay gets me back almost seven grand. The weather is getting a little cooler here. And, you know, the one way that I like to warm up the best is with the same game parlay. So that's what I'm going to do here. In the Cowboys Patriots game away team total over 26 and a half points. I think Dak Prescott runs away with it. Alternate total for the game under 55 and a half points. And so I'm expecting a blowout here with Dak scoring a lot of points. $1,000 gets me a total of $44.60 and 10 cents. Something I'm happy I didn't end up interrupting you, Ed, because I'm feeling the same game parlay to after last week.  I like Minnesota minus one at Carolina, and I like the game to go under. Both teams are in a similar situation. They're both dealing with running back injuries, McCaffery and Cook. Minnesota beat Detroit last week and Carolina lost to Philly at home. I don't think they deserve to have such a small spread in this spot. So give me that parlay. You're going to collect more than three grand on it too. I don't think Ed's done one of these that he hasn't used an alternate spread or an alternate total or alternate something. Gamblers, go ahead and do your thing.

And after last week, guys, here it is, Bill's quarterback, Josh Allen. Now the favorite at plus 450 followed by Kyler Murray, Dak Prescott and Justin Herbert tied there for the third shortest odds. Let's get all your MVP picks here.  Who do you think? Am I seeing that right? Patrick Mahomes, 15 to 1. He leads the league in touchdowns with 16. When he goes to Washington and thrashes that defense with five touchdowns and he has 21, he'll be half of these odds next week. That's a crazy price. The GOAT is fifth at plus 800. The GOAT has value here. When are we ever going to say this again? The Buccaneers are fourth in point differential among all teams in the NFL, but Brady is fifth. The schedule is going to get a lot easier for Tampa Bay and that value is going to dissipate. Grab it now. Josh Allen, he was a high riser after the Vils beat Kansas City in prime time. Everybody jumped on that bad wagon. I think the same thing can happen if Tennessee beats Buffalo. Derek Henry's, I think 80 to one right now is incredible odds. If they win that game, you're going to see the Titan star running back shoot up. And I think they will upset Buffalo. I think you can see that happening. No doubt about it. Great stuff, you guys. Let's do the same drill with your super bold picks. Buffalo, same story. Now followed by Tampa Bay and the Chiefs. Dave, who do you like to win at all? You know, I'm going to stick with the team that I had before the season started because I think the Rams really aren't getting much respect here and still offer good value. I think there are somewhere around 16 to one when the season started. I think the price they're at right now is still worth a bet. Right City, wrong team, Dave. I'm going with the LA Chargers at 17 to one. You think about point differential where they are here, but also they're leading a really tough division. So all of a sudden they make a run. Chargers lose that value. Take it now. I'm still wondering how the only undefeated team in the NFL is so low on the list. All the Cardinals have done is one. Tyler Murray's look fantastic. They've got JJ Watt now on defense, and yet they're still 13 to one to win the Super Bowl. I think there's a ton of value there in the five and no Cardinals. Can you imagine the Chargers Rams here at SoFi in LA? Great stuff guys. What a show. What a show from game picks to best bets to DFS. We absolutely covered it all. We do it every single week.

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, accompanied by Senator and Mrs. John Hines. Mr. President, your Eminence Cardinal Crow, ladies and gentlemen, this is a great historic day for Philadelphia and America. Mr. President, we are all so pleased and thank you for coming here to Philadelphia and joining us. Your visit, of course, makes this a special occasion and on a personal note. It will remain for Theresa and me an extraordinary and always memorable day. But this day would have been impossible without the hard work of some special people. I'm thinking especially of the co-chairs of this event, Herb Barness. Good. Lunch is about to be his Eminence, the Cardinal Archbishop of Philadelphia, John Cardinal Crow. May I ask you to place yourself in the presence of God, Lord creator of the universe, source of all life and all rights. We are people in the United States and we are people gathered here for the Pennsylvania Presidential Salute. Commemorate the signing of our nation's Constitution, where the document makes no direct allusion to the deity. Nonetheless, the government structure it designs rests on the vital concepts transmitted through the Judeo-Christian traditions, namely the unique dignity and worth of each human individual in the sight of God, the higher law to which all laws are accountable and universally applicable to all members of the community, and the national self-governing community food which through your bounty we are about to eat. Please be seated, enjoy the meal. You know, the more we get done, the more we realize how much more we need to do for our unemployed, a job for the young, a good education for our seniors, security for minorities, a chance for as long as we maintain our commitment to a better America and the hard-won freedoms commemorated by today's celebrations. I believe we will meet the challenges of today and tomorrow, and we will overcome. In 19, better off now than you were four years ago, and since I guess Jimmy Carter was president, the answer to that question was fairly obvious. In 1984, President Reagan asked that same question again, and the American people with... Let's applaud him right now, ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank all of you. And Senators Hines, Specter and Congressman Coughlin, John Cardinal Kroll, Earl Baker and all of you. I came to Pennsylvania to be a part of the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Constitution of the United States. I can't think of a member of the United States Senate who has fought harder to put the ideals of our Constitution into practice than the man we honor today, Senator John Hines. Pennsylvania can be proud of its two senators, and believe me, I'm grateful for the job they're doing. There's a story, you knew I'd have one of these, about a fella who always wanted to work with animals. And he applied to the zoo, and they had to add out, they needed someone there. And then he found out to his dismay that the job they had immediately open was dressing in a gorilla outfit, taking the place of the gorilla who just died until a new one could be delivered. And then they promised that he'd have a regular job at the zoo once that took place. Well, he put on the suit and he got in the cage. He got a little board sitting around, so particularly when the children were there, he began doing tricks and showing off for them. And finally he got so interested in that he got carried away one day. He was swinging on a rope and he swung so far that he landed in the lion's cage that was next door. And the lion came roaring at him, and he started screaming for help. Somebody get me out of here.  Now, this story is not to suggest that John's been working in a zoo, although at times Washington does look a little that way. John was first elected to the Senate in 1976. And since 1981 he's been a part of a team that has held a special interest at Bay, brought taxing and spending under control, and put America's house, economic house, back in order. I think we Republicans can be proud of what we've accomplished, and we couldn't have done it without energetic and responsible senators like John Heinz and Arlen Specter. Believe me, having worked with these two, I can fully appreciate that saying about having a friend in Pennsylvania. Together we took on one of the toughest jobs in the world, cleaning up after the other party had been in total control of the United States government. They'd held a majority in both houses of Congress almost continuously since the 1930s. And in the last four years of the 1970s, they'd also captured control of the White House and every federal department and agency. Our country ended up with double digit inflation, economic stagnation, sky high interest rates, and unprecedented national pessimism. These maladies which brought such suffering to our people, as much as liberal Democrats would like us to believe otherwise, were not the result of a natural disaster, a plague, or even the celestial influence of Halle's Comet. The mess we found ourselves in was a result of bad policies of haywire liberalism. And let us reaffirm today that whoever is the Republican presidential nominee in 1988, our candidate will be a darn sight better than any one of the PAC that is vying for the other party's nomination. If you listen to what they're saying, they want to take us back to the failed policies of the past. But with responsible policies, we revived our nation's economic vitality, just as John has told you, put the country back on its feet.  We are, if we can make it all the way to Thanksgiving, on our way to achieving the longest period of peacetime growth in the country's history. Employment is at an all-time high. And since the recovery began, our economy has created 13.6 million new jobs. And poverty, which started increasing in 1979, has begun to decline. Prime interest rates, which were beating the life out of our economy at 21 percent when we got in Washington are now under 9 percent. Inflation, which was public enemy number one in 1980, has been put in a cage and kept under control. Together we pulled America back from the edge of an economic catastrophe. Having done that, we moved forward to tackle some of the severe problems that were crying out for responsible action. High on the list was reform of our social security system. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Senator Heinz for the terrific job that he did as a leading player on the National Commission on Social Security Reform. He helped rescue that system from bankruptcy, even though the one-time speaker of the House denied it was true when we said it. We would have been bankrupt in that particular program by July of 1983. He denied that, but after the 82 election was over, then he came to see me about seeing what we could do to rescue social security. Partly as a result of his exemplary effort in this commission, he was named by the National Seniors Magazine, 50-plus, as one of the most effective legislators on behalf of the elderly, and as one of those, thank you. John was also instrumental in eliminating the mandatory retirement age of 70, and you bet I'm happy about that. He also was a driving force behind reforms that protect our citizens private, pension coverage. I might add here that a side benefit of a strong growing economy is an expanding stock market. By creating the conditions in which our stock market has flourished, we've been part of a process that has dramatically strengthened the pension funds of the American worker. And the same is true for the endowments of many of our institutions of higher learning, which have also been major beneficiaries of the expanding stock market. There's no way the federal government could have contributed so much to America's retirees or to higher education through government grants and spending programs. This just goes to show you the program that will do more good for more people is a strong growing economy, and that's a platform all Republicans can stand upon. In the last six and a half years, we've proven to the American people that it is the Republican Party that best represents their interests. Instead of trying to curry favor from the special interests that have flocked to the nation's capital, Republicans like John Hines are out meeting and talking with the citizenry, the taxpayers, the working men and women to whom America owes its greatness. I understand that John has had more than 350 town hall meetings across the width and breadth of this state since being elected to the Senate. Our greatest challenge is to make certain that the people hear our message so they can look at the facts and decide for themselves which direction America should go. In these next 15 months, public support and party unity will be essential, and there's much left to do confirming Bob Bork on the Supreme Court, accomplishing real credible budget reform, seeing to our national security, and supporting those who struggle for freedom. As we can see by the high-pitched opposition to Judge Bork, our job is not going to be easy. But let me remind you, since coming to Washington six and a half years ago, our critics have been proven wrong time and time again. In the case of Judge Bork, the American people, I'm certain, are finding him to be intelligent, prudent, firm believer in the Constitution and a strong defender of individual rights. I predict he will be confirmed by the Senate, and over his career in the Supreme Court, he will make great contributions to the American way of life. And let me suggest that Americans have every reason to be confident about the future. We have been at the helm during a pivotal moment in our history. First, we had to take care of the problems we inherited. Then we put America on the path that is carrying her into the 21st century, and we're well on our way. Less than a decade ago, one could hear gloomy predictions about how bad things were going to be. Our young people were being told to lower their expectations. Do you remember that? It was even being said that America's best days were behind her. Well, we've proven the pessimist wrong. We've unleashed an entrepreneurial surge that is changing the face of American enterprise. High technology and computers are being put to work throughout our economy, increasing the efficiency of business large and small. Productivity has been in the increase, and government, business and labor are working together as never before. We are telling young people to lower their expectations. We're challenging them to set their sights high. That's why they're flocking to our banner as never before. They aren't looking for the easy way out, or interested in promises of what government will do for them. They're interested in opportunity, and in being free to build the kind of lives they want to build to accomplish things for themselves. Yes, there's every reason to be proud of what we've achieved, and to be optimistic about the future. And if we can get our message to the people, and I know we will, I have three predictions. The next president of the United States will be a Republican. Senator Heinz will be re-elected, and the GOP will recapture control of the United States Senate. I would just like to interject here. We couldn't have accomplished, even with all your help, and it was your help that did it. What was accomplished in these last several years? Had we not for six of those years had that majority, slight as it was in the Senate? How many of us are conscious of the fact that in my administration, we've had one house for six years? Now for two years they'll have both houses, and for eight years they've had the House of Representatives. But from 1931 through 1980, the Democrats controlled both houses of the Congress for 46 of those 50 years. And Republican presidents, up until my term, only one had a Republican Congress for a mere two years out of his eight in office. The Democrats present only had a Republican Congress for two out of those 50 years. The rest of the time they had the whole show, so that meant that for a half a century they've been in charge of redistricting reapportionment. We're going to have to fight awfully hard to break the gerrymandering that's been going on for half a century. I was sitting here a little while ago and mentioning that in 1984 I've been told that a half a million more people voted for Republican congressional candidates than voted for Democratic candidates. But they elected about 40 more representatives in the House than we did. I was governor when California reapportioned, and I can tell you that I think the only good district they left us was somewhere south of the border. But just remember those three predictions here and determine that you're going to make them come true. I want to thank each and every one of you for what you're doing to make them come true. And I'm going to thank you in advance for sending this man back to the United States Senate where he is so desperately needed. It wouldn't make any sense at all to send a senator back there of the other party who would then cancel out the vote of Senator Specter. So keep it the way it is. Thank you all and God bless you. Thank you very much, Mr. President. Senator Hines just asked that those thanks be extended on behalf of Senator Hines. And I thank the President on behalf of all of those assembled. And I thank the President on behalf of all America for his great contribution to our country and to the world. I have the honor of presenting concluding remarks, but I think that the President has said it all. Thank you for coming, ladies and gentlemen.
