1 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. The 2 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is on the air. While Jim Watts 3 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: was running for Vice President of the United States, the 4 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: state was collapsing, had been for years. We've seen this 5 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: happen across the country. It's not always Somali's, but it's 6 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: different communities. And the Democrats decide that they're going to 7 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: own a community, They're going to sap all the money 8 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: from their business owned, are going to feed government contracts 9 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: to them. And the dirty little secret is if you're 10 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: dealing with people from countries where corruption is widespread, those 11 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: people are more likely to engage in taking and giving 12 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: bribes and doing illicit things. So if you're a member 13 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: of the government and a Democrat, you say, if I 14 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: give that contract to the company they can do the 15 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: best job. They might not feel like they need to 16 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: kick enough of it back to me. But if I 17 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: give it to a company of a guy from Somalia, 18 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: who I already think is ready to do some bad dealings, 19 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: that'd be great. It be better for me. I can 20 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: make some of this government money. So The New York 21 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: Times actually stumbled on some journalism here, finding that Tim 22 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: Waltz is Minnesota. Fraud took root in pockets some Minnesota's 23 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: Somali diaspora, as scores of individuals made small fortunes by 24 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: setting up companies that build state agencies for millions of 25 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: dollars worth of social services that were never actually provided, 26 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: turning out to be more than a billion dollars in 27 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: fraud so far, and counting NBC's Meet the Press, dozens. 28 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 2: Of people of East African descent have been charged, convicted, 29 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: and sentenced for stealing more than a billion dollars in 30 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 2: taxpayer money from government programs during COVID. As you know, Governor, 31 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: that is more than Minnesota spends each year to run 32 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 2: its Department of Correction. So I want to give you 33 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,399 Speaker 2: a chance to respond to this. Do you take responsibility 34 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: for failing to stop this fraud in your state? 35 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 3: Well, certainly I take responsibility for putting people in jail. 36 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 3: Governors don't get to just talk theoretically. We have to 37 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 3: solve problems. And I will note it's not just Somali's. 38 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 3: Minnesota is a generous state. Minnesota as the prosperous days 39 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 3: a well run state or triple A bond rated, but 40 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 3: that attracts criminals. 41 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: Those people are going to jail. 42 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 3: We're doing everything we can, but to demonize an entire 43 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 3: community on the actions of a few, it's lazy. And 44 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 3: as you heard Senator Kelly say, this president has cut 45 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 3: a lot of inspector generals. He's cut programs that could 46 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: help us tackle us on. So we are we'll take 47 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 3: it on. We'll put folks in jail. I don't care 48 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 3: what your nationality is. I don't care who your religion is, 49 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 3: your color, if you're committing crimes. These are programs that 50 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 3: were meant to serve students with autism, to housing, and 51 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 3: to making sure people had enough to eat. There's a 52 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 3: reason Minnesota ranks as the top lowest childhood poverty, best 53 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 3: place for children to live. People are taking advantage that 54 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 3: they're going to prison. That is totally disconnected with demonizing 55 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 3: an entire group of people who came here fleeing civil 56 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 3: war and created a vibrant community that makes Minnesota in 57 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 3: this country better. 58 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: But that's Donald Trump. 59 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 3: Deflect demonizes, come up with no solutions. He's not going 60 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 3: to help fix anything. On fraud, my god, there's a 61 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 3: big difference between fraud and corruption, and corruption is something 62 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 3: he knows about. 63 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: So that's what you do. You just you just blame 64 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. You just keep going. I don't know if 65 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: it was the Morning Show or the Evening Show yesterday, 66 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: probably the Evening Show or Moon if you remember. I 67 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: saw the stats on the amount of money that was 68 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: being spent on autism in Minnesota, and it went from 69 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: three million dollars in twenty eighteen to three hundred and 70 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: ninety nine million dollars in twenty twenty four. And what 71 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: ended up happening was they made the argument that Somali's 72 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: had a special need that was not being served because 73 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: they are Somalis. So it started with three million dollars 74 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: and it grew by a multiple of one hundred and 75 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: thirty three in just six years. And it turned out 76 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: that some of these clinics never even turned the lights on. 77 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: It was just a payment to somebody. Now, why would 78 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: a politician allow this, Why would bureaucrats allow this? Three 79 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine million dollars dollars that were supposed 80 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: to go to poor children and instead are being ripped 81 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:49,799 Speaker 1: off by Somali's. Well, it was being pitched as these 82 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: people aren't getting their fair share. One of the great 83 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: displays of genius is to be a person in this 84 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: country who can manage to get fraudulent money on the 85 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: basis that you're a victim, and that's what you do. Really, 86 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: if you think about it, is you claim you're a 87 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: victim and you get more than everyone else. You ever 88 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: notice how much more people claiming to be victims in 89 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: our society, claiming that they have it so bad, how 90 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: much more they're getting from the government than you are. 91 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: You have no idea how much of all this is 92 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: being spent, because it's all underground until it's not. And 93 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: then it's Trump's fault because Trump wouldn't give us the investigators. 94 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: You think Tim Walls wanted national investigators coming in and 95 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: investigating government spending in the city of Minneapolis, the largest 96 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: city under Tim Walls, where I suspect he knew exactly 97 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: what was going on. At a minimum, at a minimum, 98 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: they're trading votes for money at a minimum. Is it 99 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: possible they're trading way more than that? Is it possible 100 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: they're getting a kickback? And then you go back to 101 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: South Park, which always has a song for something. 102 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 4: We drink and we pay it and we do what 103 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 4: we please. We get all that we want for free. 104 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 4: We'll kick yours and rape your last Simoni Empirates, we 105 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 4: go with a damn it peepa, with a yafafo yo 106 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 4: and with a ye take to the African Sea.

Look how many of 113 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 6: y'all's old enough to remember this song that used to 114 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 6: play on the radio called My Girl Beier talking about 115 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 6: my girl Bill. Everybody thought it was homosesical, but it 116 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 6: was something else. 117 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: But uh Mica Bear or. 118 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 6: Ramonro Blails or Chad Newknesia, one of them gonna find 119 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 6: it and reference to it. But uh maca be really 120 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 6: pressure all of us to look at what they call it. 121 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 6: We love bum and my lover of bum. Bum is 122 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 6: a British English Canadian word for buthole. But I think 123 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 6: he's talking about bum. Phillips, who is from Range. You 124 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 6: are a n ge range Urge, Texas. And he's absolutely 125 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 6: right about the fact that they need to rename sixteenth 126 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 6: Street as bum Phillips Avenue. 127 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what this so hard to have? Getten dead? 128 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 7: No? 129 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 6: Hell, you know what would sound Betry is Bum Philip Boulevoid. 130 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: That's an excellent parent. 131 00:09:52,360 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 8: Oh so the movie that I was interviewed for, I'm 132 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 8: a tangential peace to it. 133 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to overstate my involvement, but I think 134 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: it's very well done. It's called Love You Bum, and 135 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: it is out and available now on Amazon Prime. LUV 136 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: Love You Bum. And I think it is absolutely a 137 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: fantastic film. I've watched it about ten times, and not 138 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: just because I'm in it. I watched it because I 139 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: didn't live in Houston in seventy eight seventy nine eighty, 140 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: but I feel like I did because I've known a 141 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: lot of the major players of that time, and you 142 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: get such a sense for the excitement of what was 143 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: happening at that time. We're talking about forty five years later. 144 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: So if you're sixty five today, you were really young. Then. 145 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: If you're eighty today, do the math you were thirty 146 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: five then. But the film is well, it's awkward for 147 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: me to promote the film as much as I have. 148 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: And I have to say this because when the film 149 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: was pitched and when I first agreed to be part 150 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: of it, it was on the basis that it was 151 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: going to be the three generations of Phillips coaches, and 152 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: that was Bum Phillips, his son Wade, who won a 153 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, his son Wes, who won a Super Bowl 154 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: and is still coaching. In fact, Wade was coaching up 155 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: until a year ago, so this was a unique thing. 156 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: Three generations of NFL coaches. Coaching is in their blood, 157 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: this is what unites their family. Is a really big deal. Well, 158 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: when the film was bought out before completion by private 159 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: equity group, it was then determined that the film has 160 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: to make money. It cannot just be a pass project 161 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: because we put up all this money to cover the expenses. 162 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: Now to recoup the expenses, so now it has to 163 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: be about just Bum Phillips. Well, for a lot of folks, 164 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: their involvement was because this was really a project highlighting 165 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: Wade and Wade's role as the bridge between Bum and Wes. 166 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: And there were some pretty hard feelings about this from 167 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: people who participated in the movie and who made the 168 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: movie because they did so for Wade, because this is 169 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: really Wade's story. 170 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 9: And. 171 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: I'll put it like this. So my wife watched it 172 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: feeling sorry for me, and my kids had to watch it. 173 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: And the next morning I was troubled. You know, why, 174 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: why did Bum leave his job in New Orleans with 175 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: three years left on the contract? Four hundred and fifty 176 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: thousand a year. There's a lot of money, a lot 177 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 1: of money in the early mid eighties. It was a 178 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: lot of money to him. He wasn't a wealthy man. 179 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: Four hundred fifty thousand dollars a year for three more years? 180 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: Why did he leave in the middle of the season, 181 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: toward the end of that season. And my wife said, 182 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: without being a football fan, without she said, I think 183 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: he did that to ensure that Wade got a head 184 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: coaching job, because the most natural fit was to slide 185 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: Wade into that job. That was him falling on the 186 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: sword because he knew Wade should be a pro coach 187 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: and it's hard to get that first head coaching gig. 188 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 1: But that would be Wade would be the head coach 189 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: and maybe he would stay or maybe he would go elsewhere, 190 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: but that would be it. And I thought to myself, Wow, 191 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: the ultimate dad moment, and I realize now she's right, 192 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: that was what he wanted. He saw that Wade had 193 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: had the chops to be a great head coach, as 194 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: he had been a great decordinator anyway. So there is 195 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: that part of the film that some of the people 196 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: involved with it were upset about. But it is my 197 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: hope that when they see it. I don't own the film. 198 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: I'm not a producer. I don't have a financial investment. 199 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: I just I love the story. You know, there's been 200 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: a bump, There's been a bum Phillips, bumb Phillips opera. 201 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: He's been profiled on NFL films. I think he was 202 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: named the fourth most interesting character in NFL history. You know, 203 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: I don't know that a man met his moment quite 204 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: like Boom. I don't know that a coach more reflected 205 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: the town in which they coached more than Boom at 206 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: that moment. It's really it's really a cool deal. There's 207 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: a moment in the movie where Jerry Jones says, I 208 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: wanted to get into coaching because of personalities like Boom Phillips. 209 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: That's what the NFL was to me. I wanted part 210 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: of that. And there's all these sorts of people. JJ 211 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: Watt talking about Wade Phillips seeing him for the first 212 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: time and saying, You're going to be a Hall of Famer, 213 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: when nobody believed JJ was anything at that point. He 214 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: wasn't a superstar yet, and he said, but he believed 215 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: that that was true, and of course it turned out 216 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: to be true. But really what it captures that I 217 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: love the most is that period of time and in 218 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: that time in Houston, and I lament that time that 219 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: I never got to see because I believe that that 220 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: city of Houston at that time was special what was 221 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: going on, and not just on the sporting field as 222 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: a community urban cowboy and I that was a special 223 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: times your photos. Crockett was watching the movie Love You Bum, 224 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: which is out on Amazon Prime now with me and 225 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: we were talking. You had a bunch of questions, and 226 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: I didn't think Michael was paying real close attention and 227 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: because he was texting his girlfriend. But at won point 228 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: he said, one of the themes of the movie was 229 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: that Bum Phillips h Dan Pastorini made the statement. He said, 230 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: players from around the league would ask me, what's it 231 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: like to play for that guy? Because he was different, 232 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: right he's wearing cowboy boots. And when it was an 233 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: outdoor stadium, as cowboy had on, he was dressed as 234 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: this cowboy. He's got kind of he's got a crew 235 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,479 Speaker 1: cut or flat top. We got these big old glasses. 236 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: You're not trying to look pretty. And Pastorini said it 237 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: was like playing for your dad, if you had a 238 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: nice dad. And then Earl Campbell says that, then Mike Barber, 239 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: Mike Barber says, Bum always said when nobody loves you, 240 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: Bum loves you. And there's a line in his autobiography 241 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: where phillips Is is he's in boot camp and he's 242 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: never gone west of Liberty County, born in Orange, raised 243 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,959 Speaker 1: in the Beaumont area, and he's he's been sent out 244 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: to California for boot camp for World War two where 245 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: he would be sent to the Pacific. And he said, 246 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: I never understand why my drill sergeant needs to spit 247 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: in my ear to yell at me to get me 248 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 1: to do my job. And so he said, when I 249 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: was a coach, I'm not going to do that either. 250 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: I don't need to spit in a guy's ear and 251 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: yell at him if he's a winner, if he cares 252 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: about this team. And if you read his autobiography and 253 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: watch the movie and hear anything said about Boom Phillips, 254 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: he talks about how we're not going to build a 255 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: team here. Everybody's got a team. We're going to build 256 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: a family, because when you are a family, you do 257 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: anything for the people out there, and so there the 258 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: theme of all of this is is that this is 259 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: a group of misfits. You got Tony Fritch, this guy 260 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: that hadn't played football and hadn't really done anything for 261 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 1: I think nine years. He got a bill belly and 262 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 1: they talk about he was voted the worst body in 263 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: the NFL. He said, well, that's not what I'm judged on, 264 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: is it. And you know, there's just different groups of 265 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: people that he cobbled together as a team, which became 266 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: a family, which became in history, if not the most 267 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: famous team to not win a Super Bowl. I don't 268 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: know what is the Buffalo Bills went four times and 269 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: didn't win, But I don't think anybody thinks of them 270 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: in that in those terms. This is a beloved team 271 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: for the city of Houston that really was to see 272 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: if Houston. You know, I was talking the other day 273 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: about how much money we spend on professional sports, and 274 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: I enjoy sports much in this guy, I just don't 275 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: believe the taxpayer should pay for it. And I had 276 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: a listener I can't remember his name, but take a bow, 277 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: whoever you are, because you deserve it said, the most 278 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: genius thing professional sports ever did was put the city's 279 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: name in their name. Because we tend to believe that 280 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: the Houston Astros, Houston Olders, Houston Rockets, that these people 281 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: that they're one of us. But really they're just guys 282 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: that are hired to come here and run up and 283 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: down the field. What I think made the Oilers so special? 284 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: Is it Trump? I mean, is it Trump? Bum really 285 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: was Houston, And even when he went to New Orleans, 286 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: he stayed here. And when his career was over, he 287 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 1: stayed here. When Wade Wade was coaching Philly, Los Angeles, Denver, 288 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 1: he stayed here. And I think that says a lot 289 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: I have said over the years. I think it says 290 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: a lot that Mark Chestnuts stayed in Beaumont, that Tracy 291 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: Bird stayed in Beaumont, that Clay Walker came to Houston 292 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: State in Houston, I think it says a lot about 293 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: their careers in who they are and the music they made, 294 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: that they didn't go to Nashville, that they stayed in Beaumont, 295 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: Texas or Katie, Texas in the case of Clay and 296 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: I just get the sense that that was a team 297 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: that reflected Houston. And I made mention of Nolan Ryan 298 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: in a movie. Nolan Ryan was a guy that was 299 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: from Alvin, goes to play for the Mets, goes to 300 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 1: play for the Angels, but when he came to Houston, 301 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: that was the moment, right that was the moment that 302 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: the Houston connection was made. I remember when Clyde left 303 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: to go to Portland. I was a big Clyd Drexler fan, 304 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: and he goes to Portland. I remember thinking at the time, man, 305 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: if only we could watch him in our local stadium 306 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: play because this was a kid from the Third Ward. 307 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: I mean, his mother had the little barbecue joint right there. 308 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: This was a kid from the poor streets of the 309 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: Third Ward and went to the University of Houston and 310 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: he should be playing for the Rockets and then finally 311 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: for the second championship he did. It was just special. 312 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: You know, there's moments like that that are just special. 313 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: Of course, I'm such a dork. I thought it was 314 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 1: really cool when Brandon Backy had that great season and 315 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: there would be his parents up about ten rows back 316 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: right behind the catcher when he was pitching, and I 317 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: thought it was the coolest thing ever. Of course, I 318 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: thought it was cool when he and his buddies got 319 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: arrested out in from the San Louis fighting with the 320 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: Galveston Police Department, because it just kind of added to 321 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: the Galveston trash element that I found so charming about him. 322 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: But whatever, that was a moment. That was a moment 323 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: in time. Anyway, It's just such a good time for me. 324 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: And you know because when my mom died, I went 325 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: through all the photos and there's all these photos of 326 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 1: me wearing Dan Pastornis jersey or him wearing mine. I 327 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: don't know which one. But and you know, my brother 328 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: and I were in our we're in our oilers gear. 329 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: And then here I am at the open house at 330 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: the school and wearing my Oilers gear and everything was 331 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: about the Oilers to us, and right behind them the Astros, 332 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: but those Oilers teams. Oh my goodness, was that ever 333 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: a special time? And I don't know that a movie 334 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: had ever been made. To my liking, that captured what 335 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: was going on at that time and how special Houston was, 336 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: because that was really where Houston was becoming a major 337 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: city on the national scene. You know, you'd had Humble 338 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: Awe move into downtown. You had Urban Cowboy about to happen, 339 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: you had the Astrodome, you had to do it oilers, 340 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: you had Nolan Ryan coming here. That's big time ramon. 341 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,479 Speaker 1: You don't know it was on this day in nineteen 342 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: fifty seven, Been All Pretty, a disc jockey at our Portland, 343 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: Oregon affiliate k e X, our first affiliate outside Houston, 344 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: was fired for playing the Elvis Presley version of White Christmas, 345 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: which the station had explicitly banned from being played on air. 346 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,360 Speaker 1: The program manager said it desecrates the spirit of Christmas 347 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: and transgresses the composer's intent. The whole debacle would make 348 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: national news, but it turned out to be a brilliant 349 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: publicity stunt. Pretty would be back on the air two 350 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: weeks later after a nice vacation with a station claiming 351 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: letters were pouring in to support the DJ. As part 352 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: of the stunt, he recorded the general manager calling in 353 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: to fire him for playing the song and played the 354 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: conversation on a show before he left Old Time Radio. 355 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: You gotta love it, You gotta love it, the story 356 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: about the Afghan national who was brought to this country 357 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: as part of this relocation of terrorists here in what 358 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: will turn out to be the death of our civilization, 359 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: shaming us, calling us racist, calling us awful people. Senator 360 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: Mark Kelly from Arizona saying, y'all just don't want more 361 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: brown people here. No, we just don't want more people 362 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:28,239 Speaker 1: killing our national guardsmen. How about Norm MacDonald had an 363 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: amazing joke with Margaret cho and she wasn't in on 364 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: the joke. She didn't get it, but he made his 365 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: point in that dry wit manner in which he always did, 366 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: where people who get Norm got the joke, and that 367 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: joke turns out to be as true today as it 368 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: ever could have been back then. Listen to this clip 369 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: number nine. Roman. 370 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 7: I can't say my friend's name, but he said his 371 00:24:54,320 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 7: biggest fear is that isis or some terrorist group like 372 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 7: that will get a hold of a dirty bomb and 373 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 7: exploded over a major city within the United States and 374 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 7: kill tens of millions of people, because then the blowback 375 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 7: against innocent Muslims would be absolutely terrible. 376 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: Yes, that's right, that's true. Let's do some jokes. He's 377 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: just clowned them and they don't know it. Fifty million 378 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: Americans stead and he's worried about the Muslims. That's the joke. Well. 379 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: USA Today had a story about the Afghan community in 380 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: the United States living in fear. They're living in fear 381 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: after our National guardsman one was killed, the others critically injured, 382 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: quoting one Afghan who says, there's a lot of fear 383 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: within the community that there will be collective punishment because 384 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: of the act of one individual. They don't fear one bit, 385 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: They don't fear one moment. His family won't be harmed, 386 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: his countrymen won't be harmed, and anyone who dares suggest 387 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: they would or should would be canceled and destroyed in 388 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: this country. But what about the young lady who's dead, 389 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: who feels for her? What emotion is there for her? 390 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: And that's what our country has become. A bunch of 391 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: self loathing white people so afraid of being called a racist, 392 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: a xenophobe, a transphobe, that they will hand over everything 393 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: they have and eventually commit suicide to please their invaders, 394 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: and that's the fact. And anyone who says otherwise, anyone 395 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: who dares do anything about it, is an awful human being. 396 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: Call me whatever you want. It's coming up on a 397 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: year since President Trump was sworn in for his second 398 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: term as president, and this media continues to play the 399 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: same tired game of if it's something good, Biden did it. 400 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: If it's bad, it's Donald Trump's fault. Never Mind, those 401 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: silly facts seemed to keep getting in the way. The 402 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: media will always remind you that Trump is hitler. Good 403 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 1: Evening America. 404 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 9: Tonight's big story, two National guardsmen have allegedly been shot. 405 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 9: We don't have any details at this point, but sources 406 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 9: tell us the shooter is a white supremacist. 407 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 8: Oh wait, John, we're getting news that the shooter is 408 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 8: an Afghan national. 409 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 9: Well, Trump probably brought him to kill us, all to 410 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 9: make brown people look bad, because Trump is literally hitler. 411 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: No, John, we're getting reports that Biden brought him in. 412 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 9: Well, that's very doubtful, because Biden vetted the terrorist he 413 00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 9: brought in. I'm sure of it. Biden said he vetted them. 414 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 9: And if I trust anything, I trust Joe Biden. 415 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 1: John, Wait, hold. 416 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 4: On, we're getting confirmation by the CIA and the Department 417 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 4: of Defense that Biden did not. 418 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 6: Vet those terrorists. 419 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 2: Lots of pedophiles and murders were brought here by Biden. 420 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 9: Oh well, I doubt the man intended to shoot National guardsmen. 421 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: He probably thought they were Ice, and we know ice 422 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 1: deserves it. 423 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 9: Okay, Well, you know, Julie, this is just the environment 424 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 9: Trump is caused with all his hate and racism.
