1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Ah, Yes, indeed, and we roll along in our second

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: hour open line Friday. I'm Michael berrying for Clay and

00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Buck and they'll be back on Monday. It's one eight

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: hundred two eight two to eight eight two. Let's go

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: to Is it Andrea in Lubbock or Andrea? Is Andrea? Andrea?

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: Happy to have you? Yes, thank you, and happy new

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: year to you. I do hope that this next year

8
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: is so much better. Are you listening to in Kfyo? Yes, sir,

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: we're friends with Chad Hasty down there. I don't know

10
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: if you know Chad. He does the morning show and

11
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: person listen to him every day. Great guy, great guy.

12
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: Call into his show on Monday and tell him I

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: was bragging on him. He is a good dude. He's

14
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: he's my he's my expert on all things Lubbock. I

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: had to call him last week and ask him what

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: the mood of Lubbock was with with Mike Leach coming

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: back and playing Texas Tech. I'm a I love the Pirate,

18
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: I love Mike Leach, and I was kind of curious

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: if Lubbuck still supported Leach or if they'd gone with

20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: the university and that. But anyway, We love Michael Leach.

21
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: I appreciate the air raid that he instigated, but it

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: was so good to beat him. You know, well, Gus,

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: because you're a Tech partisan, guns up and all that

24
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. One of the best football games I

25
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: ever watched in my life was Texas Tech against the

26
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: University of Texas and Texas Tech. It was a shootout.

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: It was like forty eight forty seven at the end

28
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: of it, and as a result, UT was about fifth

29
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: in the country at the time and Texas Tech moved

30
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: all the way up to number two. And then they

31
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: lost the next week. But it was so incredible because

32
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: at the time Tech had eleven players on offense and

33
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: eleven players on defense against UT. Not one of those

34
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: twenty two starters had been offered a scholarship to play

35
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: at UT, which meant he had inferior players. He whipped

36
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: the University of Texas with inferior players, and it reminds

37
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 1: me of the old bum Phillips line, who was the

38
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: legendary coach of the Houston Oilers from Orange, Texas, which

39
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: is where I'm from too, And bum Phillips used to

40
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: say about Don Shula, he could take hisn and beat

41
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: Urin and then take Urin and beat his n And

42
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: that's Mike Leach. He can take any group of players

43
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: and beat your team, even though you have more talent.

44
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: What'd you call about, Andrea? Well? Number one, I wanted

45
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: to say thank you for last week and your tribute

46
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: to Rush. The way that you did it was it

47
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: made everybody cry, and it gave us a chance to

48
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: get ready so that we could record it and I can.

49
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: I have it now so I can listen to Rush

50
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: any time I want, And I just want to thank

51
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: you for that sensitivity and being aware of how a

52
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: great Rush still is. But the from my call is

53
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: to honor the heroes in my life. And they are

54
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: my three sons. They are contributing citizens. One of them

55
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: is a school teacher. We need men in the public

56
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: schools now more than ever, and he is doing a

57
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: wonderful job. And then my other son is a firefighter.

58
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: He is a master. His rank is Master Firefighter. And

59
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: the things they have to do, I have no idea,

60
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: and I'm so proud of him. He's got nine kids,

61
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: my gracious but and then my last, my oldest. His

62
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: name is also Michael, which you might like. He is

63
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: retired from the military after twenty years of service. He

64
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: did multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was a

65
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: combat instructor. He U. He came home ten fingers, ten toes,

66
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: praise God. But he has PPSD multiple pbis almost one

67
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: disabled because of injuries sustained in bomb blasts and stuff

68
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: being on the front lines. But all of my sons

69
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: are Christians, and they fight just like what you said

70
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: to that pastor before. They fight for what is right.

71
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: They fight for what is good, and whether it's what

72
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: you believe or what is appropriate or convenient at the time,

73
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. They they know instinctively, they know what

74
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: is right and what is good, and they fight for it.

75
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: And they are my heroes. You know, Andrea, I've only

76
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: known you for about three minutes, but I know everything

77
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: there is to know about you based on that. You know,

78
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: I was blessed with the best mother in the world,

79
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: and I know why those boys are who they are.

80
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: Matthew seven seventeen says, every so, every even so, every

81
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: good tree bringeth forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree

82
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth

83
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: evil fruit. Neither can a corrupt tree, bring forth, good fruit.

84
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: Good trees, bring forth good fruit. And that's you. A

85
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: teacher of firefighter, thank you, and a military man. What

86
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: a life of service. Thank you for the call. Sweetheart.

87
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: Let's good. You know why if they want, if you

88
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: want to get any closer for January six, you just

89
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: go to Nancy Pelosi and that's where it stops. Right there.

90
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: That right, Let's go to Jim in Trinity, Texas. Jim,

91
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: you're up, buddy? Yes? Or go ahead? Okay? Well, I

92
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: had a question followed by a special request. The question

93
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: is concerning something that I can't believe has not been

94
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: discussed because it's very pertinent to the nation. And I

95
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: guess the end the days ahead, not if, but when

96
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris takes her presidential oath of office and you know,

97
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: quote unquote makes history. Who on earth do you think,

98
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: based on what you've heard or what you think she's

99
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: going to choose for her VP? Yeah, I have a

100
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: thought on that. I don't know that anybody has said that,

101
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: but I spent a lot of years. I spent a

102
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: number of years as an office holder and working on

103
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: campaigns and watching this process, and based on what I

104
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: believe were the standards and what you want to accomplish

105
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: out of a vice presidential candidate. First of all, somebody

106
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: you can trust that won't embarrass you. But you want

107
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: somebody she's going to be up for reelection, and this

108
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: happens before twenty twenty four, so you know this is

109
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: going to happen, and she's going to be up for reelection,

110
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: and what you want is someone who adds who rounds

111
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: you out. Okay, Kamala Harris was chosen on the basis

112
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: that she was a black woman. They didn't need California,

113
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: California's going Democrat. Joe Biden basically said I'm going to

114
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: choose a black woman, and the list of candidates was paltry.

115
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean there aren't good black women in this country.

116
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: There are, but they're not Democrats, and they weren't candidates

117
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: who Stacy Abrahams, my goodness. I mean I won't, I

118
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: won't probably better not. But Kamala Harris has a number

119
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: of weaknesses she has to fill. First of all, she's

120
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: considered a very fringe leftist candidate. Her actual politics are

121
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: not as far left as she pretended to be. She's

122
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: more of a law and order person. But anyway, that's

123
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: the image, right, is that she's the progressive, she's not white.

124
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: That's gonna scare some white Southern Democrat Union voters. That

125
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: it just is, and it's it's gonna scare some old people.

126
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: What is she gonna do? Is she gonna be crazy?

127
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: She's a woman, she'll be the first woman to be

128
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: in that position. Is she gonna take crazy positions on that?

129
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: So what they're gonna need to do is have someone

130
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: who can be the person who rounds her out, who

131
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: puts people at ease. If you look at how people

132
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: choose their vice presidential running mate George W. Bush, the

133
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: thought was, you know, he doesn't have the experience. His

134
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: dad was just president a few years ago. So Cheney

135
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: was brought in to be the sort of caretaker you

136
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: know he'll be He'll be the one who does that

137
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: just as with Barack Obama, young black, inexperience. Oh well,

138
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: Biden is an old hand in DC. He'll be able

139
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: to guide him and advise him. With Trump, there was

140
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: always going to be some concern is he really going

141
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: to be supportive of the evangelicals? Is he a guy

142
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: that is going to live up to what? So you

143
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: bring in Pence who had the bona fide in that community.

144
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: My answer for this is who she should choose because

145
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: he helps her the most. Would be John Bell Edwards,

146
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: the governor of Louisiana. Why it's a red state that

147
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: he won. He's not a squish, He's not as much

148
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: a squish liberal as most of the other Democrats you're

149
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: going to choose from. He connects better with Southern voters.

150
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: He's a white male, and just as Biden needed a

151
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: black female or thought he did, she needs a white male.

152
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: It will be a white male. You can be assured

153
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: of that. She's not going in getting some other fringe

154
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: check the box intersectional candidate. I think they would be

155
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: wise to bring in a white Southern moderate, and as

156
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: close as you're going to find to that, they're not

157
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: many of them would be John Bell Edwards. You heard

158
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: it here. I'm Michael Berrian for Clay, Travis and Buck Sex.

159
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: Michael Berrian for Clay and Buck. They'll be back on Monday.

160
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: I read earlier from a piece by Kaylee McGee white

161
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: that appeared in Washington Examiner under the title I was

162
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: wrong about COVID nineteen and she goes through you know

163
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: she defended Fauci, she thought masked where she But it's

164
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: important to understand not just where you've been wrong in

165
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: your life, it's important to understand why you were wrong.

166
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: I do a lot of interviews with successful people in business,

167
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: and I find it far more illuminating to ask them

168
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: what was their biggest failure than what was your biggest success.

169
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: Failure is where we have an opportunity to go back

170
00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: and recognize our own weaknesses. And it's to me more

171
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: important that you understand why you failed than that you failed.

172
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: Why did we trust Fauci? If you trusted Fauci because

173
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: he had all the trappings of the expert, And we

174
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: have been told for years that the experts know more

175
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: than we do. We're just commoners. But the experts have

176
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: degrees and sheep skins and offices and titles and conferences

177
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: and lectures and speeches and respects and respect and honorifics,

178
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: and so they can't be wrong. If you just think, well,

179
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: I trusted Fauci and he let me down, and you

180
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: don't understand why you trusted him and why you should

181
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: not have trusted him, or you should have at least

182
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: been skeptical, if not downright cynical about his supposed I'm

183
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: the science. Then it's going to keep happening again. I

184
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: think back to when Barack Obama was elected and Rush

185
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: told the story about I think it's New York Times.

186
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: I don't remember who it was. Dean can tell me

187
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: that they asked different people to opine as to you know,

188
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: their thoughts on Barack Obama becoming the president. At his

189
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: as Rush used to say, immaculation. And you'll remember what

190
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: dominated the media cycle at the time is that Rush

191
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: said quote, I hope Obama fails well immediately. The left

192
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of Republicans who will continually fall into

193
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: this trap, Republicans like the Mitt Romney Republicans all they

194
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: disavowed this. Oh my goodness, this is the kind of division.

195
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: We don't need this. This mean sperrited. We should all

196
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: he's the president, we should get behind him, we should

197
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: help him succeed. And Rush said no, no, And Rush

198
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: stood tall. He was the original target of cancel culture.

199
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: Dean carry In has posted a piece earlier this week

200
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: at clayonbuck dot com to that exact effect. When Harry

201
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: read in the group the phony soldier issue, they tried

202
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: to they tried to cancel Rush. They tried so many

203
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: times to cancel Rush. And he refused to apologize, and

204
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: he laid out the playbook that Trump ended up carrying

205
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: with him to the White House, which is you never apologize.

206
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: And that's why it was always so hard for the

207
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: Rhino Republicans, the establishment, the RNC, the suburban model. Well

208
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: did he have to be so mean? Yes, yes, you

209
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: cannot apologize. The minute you're apologizing, you're backtracking. When they

210
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 1: got you backtracking, they'll never stop. They'll chase you out

211
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: of town, they'll run you out. And Rush understood. You

212
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: have to fight them tooth and nail at every turn.

213
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: When he said I hope Obama fails, it is hard

214
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: to put into perspective today because of the debacle that

215
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: was the abomination of Obama's eight years. But at that

216
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: time there was such hope. And I'm not talking about

217
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: just Democrats. I'm not just talking about blacks, I'm not

218
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: just talking about college kids. I'm talking about Republicans who

219
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: believed that this was the moment, after that nasty period

220
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: of divisive politics of that mean old George W. Bush

221
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: who couldn't even say nuclear. He said nuclear and How

222
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: can we have a president that adds avowal in the

223
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: middle of two consecutive consonants. This is embarrassing. He's not sophisticated,

224
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: he's not smart, and on and on and on, and

225
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: George W. Bush was just he was an embarrassment to

226
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: the nation. And we needed this guy that we could

227
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: project to the world that look at us, we're not mean,

228
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: old white men. This is great. We're not going to

229
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: have We're not gonna have contested, nasty, bickering, rancor in

230
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: our politics anymore. We're all gonna get along, right. And

231
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: Obama was going to lead us through this. You remember

232
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: what the La Times editorial was. Rush got got criticized

233
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: for saying this Barack the magic Negro was not Russia

234
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: emboss statement. That was an editorial that the La Times

235
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: wrote that he simply quoted. But again, this keeps happening

236
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: again and again and again, where they misconstrue things. They

237
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: doctor a photo, they put it out there, they get

238
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: everyone to pile on to it, and by the time

239
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: the truth comes out, you've moved on down the road.

240
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: Oh there wasn't Russian collusion, Oh okay, Oh Trump didn't

241
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: go to the hotel and have the prostitute. Oh he didn't.

242
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, Oh so Trump didn't do that.

243
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: Oh I had no idea. But it's too late. You've

244
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: moved on, like like Harry Reid said when he finally admitted, Yeah,

245
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: I didn't have the goods on met romnem. I lied

246
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: and he lost the election, and they said, what do

247
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: you feel bad about that? And he said he didn't win?

248
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: Did he? I say all that to say this, Rush said,

249
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: I hope Obama fails. And we all eventually chimed in

250
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: on that. But he was the lone ranger at that moment,

251
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: standing tall because he knew you could dress up the

252
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: pig that was Barack Obama, but a socialist America hater

253
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: lurked underneath and it was going to come through. And

254
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: if you supported him at his inauguration, if you gave

255
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: him his first hundred days, if you stood by and

256
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: allowed that, it would give him more line to run with,

257
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: to do more damage to the country. Rush understood, even

258
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: at this moment of such hope and optimism, you have

259
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: to stop him dead in his tracks, and he did.

260
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: We have to understand the state is waiting for another

261
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: COVID and its climate change and it's coming. I'm Michael

262
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: Berry in for Clay Travis and Buck Sexton, and an

263
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: honor it is to have Victor Lyle say my name

264
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: to you. The greatest audience in all of radio. Folks

265
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: have been sending along the kindest notes. It's been my

266
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: joyous indulgence when we finished the show every day to

267
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: then prepare for the next show, and a few hours

268
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: after that, my brain is absolutely mush. So I head home,

269
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: and the folks here in Houston to celebrate the getting

270
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: to guest host this show all pitched in and bought

271
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: me this beautiful ash tray. And the ash tray is

272
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: a picture of Rush with a cigar and this gold

273
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: trim around it and his signature on it. And so

274
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: that was my sort of communing with the great One

275
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: to prepare for this show. I don't I don't want

276
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: to overstate the nerves you get when you sit in

277
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: for this show. I really don't know how Clay and

278
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: Buck did it. I don't know. I can't imagine the pressure,

279
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: the stress the first day they sat in because nobody

280
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: you don't walk in and say, well, Rush isn't here.

281
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: The company paid him just and I don't know that

282
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: it's ever been done before. Julie Talbot would not allow

283
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: a show to be aired for a long time because

284
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: we had to show respect. We had to let this

285
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: situation breathe, We had to let people grieve. I don't

286
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: know that anybody's ever had a connection through the radio

287
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: airwaves to a nation, their their nation, their legion of

288
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: followers the way Rush did. And I reading the emails,

289
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: I mean people talking about last Friday that they were

290
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: they had to pull over and just weep thinking about

291
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: it was only a year ago. Imagine Clay and Buck

292
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: having to walk in and carry that torch. I mean

293
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: that you gotta cut you gotta cut them a lot

294
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: of slack. That was. You know, everybody in radio was

295
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: secretly quietly envious, but also sort of going, man, uh

296
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: that in some ways, yeah, you go do that because

297
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: everyone else would be scared too. And I think they've

298
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: done a wonderful job and they've been very kind of me,

299
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: and I'm looking forward to hosting them in Houston on

300
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 1: March fourth. We're gonna be do a big blowout with

301
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: my friend Jesse Kelly, who's also here in Houston. We're

302
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: gonna have a heck of a good time, all right.

303
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: One eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two.

304
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to Tom in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, just because

305
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: I've never taken a call from Oak Creek, wiscon What

306
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: is Oak Creek, Wisconsin famous for? Um? Well, we had

307
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: we had the sixth Temple shooting. Um I remember a

308
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: few years ago. Um, A sick temple. Is that what

309
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: you said? The sick temple shooting? Remember? I do? Yeah,

310
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: I do, I do? And our officer took like what

311
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: twenty five bullets to his body still living? Oh wow?

312
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: Oh that was Oak Creek. Yes, okay, Well, you know

313
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: what's interesting when you said sick temple. Sikhs the Sirdars.

314
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: My wife's from India and um and Indra Gandhi had

315
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: who was Nehru's daughter. She was the first female head

316
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: of state in India. And she had these bodyguards who

317
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: were these just bad, bad dudes. And they're from this

318
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: particular group called the Sikhs or six or Sirdars. They're

319
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: also none. They're the ones who wear the turbans and

320
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: they're they're kind of a warrior class and they're big

321
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: and strong and most of them of them cool people.

322
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: So they're great people, they're great entrepreneurs, they're hard working.

323
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: Most of them are from Punjab. A lot of them

324
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: ended up in Delhi. But just a quick story, Indira

325
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: Gandhi had these had these uh these bodyguards and there

326
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: was a Sikh leader or sick leader and he was

327
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: holed up in the Golden Temple, which is like their

328
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: vatican for this particular group. And the military went in

329
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: there and raided the thing and there was a shootout

330
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: and it was this sacred site and the six were furious,

331
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: how do you do this? And so they wanted into

332
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 1: the Gandhi to fire her her bodyguards because look that

333
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: you know you you're the one who ordered this, and

334
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: you've you've defaced their you know, their holy place. And

335
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: she said no. And a day later, as she's walking

336
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: across the ground and say turned the guns on her

337
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: and killed her. And then there was an atrocity against

338
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: the sick people. But that is emblazon that that sort

339
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,719
Speaker 1: of a Kent State moment for every Indian. It's just

340
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: it's an ugly moment. So when you said the sick Temple,

341
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: I thought that's but I do remember that story that

342
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: was Oak Creek. Okay, are you called that up pretty fast?

343
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,239
Speaker 1: I think that was back in twenty thirteen. Ye are you?

344
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: Are you from Oak Creek? No, I'm actually from Chicago,

345
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: but I moved up her business? What's your business? Wisconsin?

346
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: All right? I used to I used to run autopart stories,

347
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: but now I'm a truck driver. I'm a truck driver

348
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: from Wisconsin. Okay. I always ask truck driver. I always

349
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: ask truck drivers how much they make, and it tends

350
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: to vary quite dramatically. I understand short haul, long haul,

351
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: whether you sleep in your own bed or whatever. So

352
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: I have to ask you, what do you What do

353
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: you think you made this year? Listen, I could have

354
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: made over one hundred grand this year, but I don't

355
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: want to work that hard, you know, at this time

356
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: in my life. No, I've been with my forty forty

357
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: five weeks instead of working sixty hours a week. No,

358
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that anymore. Is that what

359
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand looks like? Sixty sixty hours a week? No,

360
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: they're fifty five sixty Yeah. Okay, so what does that

361
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: look like? Is that six days of ten hours a day?

362
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,239
Speaker 1: Or is that fourteen hours five times or what is that?

363
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: Five days at Saturdays at twelve? Okay, give me give

364
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: me a tip here, Tom, occasional Saturday here and there,

365
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: all right, give me a tip. I drive from Houston

366
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: to Colorado every summer. I do the show from the

367
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: from Colorado every summer and then we come back and

368
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: I love that drive. But it's about it's a it's

369
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: a long drive. If I'm driving more than ten hours

370
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: and it can be seventeen eighteen in one day. What

371
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: is a tip to stay awake, stay healthy, stay alert?

372
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: Give me a couple of little tips other than speed.

373
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: UM liquefied hydrate you want, you want to put hydrate

374
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 1: big times. I'm not talking about drinking coffee. That's that's artificial.

375
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: You'll come down from that within two hours. To just

376
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: hydrating with juices, um, fruit juice, whatever you whatever you

377
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: want to put together. I usually have UM golle red

378
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: h grat fruit juice. I love gret fruit juice. You

379
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: know what's interesting, Tom, I went on a health kick

380
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: this year, and I feel better than I ever have.

381
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: My wife's told me for years that Americans are all dehydrated.

382
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: And since I've focused with COVID and all this. It's true.

383
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: We don't get enough hydration, and most people are dehydrated,

384
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: and it causes all sorts of problems. And if you

385
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: just hydrate, you'll lose weight, you'll feel better, your organs

386
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: will be better, your skin will be healthier. But I

387
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: took up all your time with tom and which I said,

388
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: you'll stay more awake during the day and you'll sleep

389
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: better at night. Yes, it's true. I sleep much better hydrated.

390
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: What did you call about, budd I called you to

391
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: tell you I love you to death. I've been listening

392
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: to all week. Okay, I have a problem with you

393
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: bringing up the bell Edwards. Don't give democrats any logical ideas. Okay.

394
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if any liberals are listening to the show.

395
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: But my rule is when I talk to my liberal friends,

396
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: I give them false ideas so that they latch onto them. Yeah,

397
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: there's a problem. I got what Babylon to be is

398
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: that put something out. They can't catch up with you

399
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: with the liberals because what they put out that's outrageous.

400
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: The liberals are already thinking about it, and they put

401
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: it up twenty four hours later, seven days later. You

402
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: know what's amazing about the Babylon be is what they

403
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: offer up as far like a money python forrest ends

404
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: up being prophetic, and they'll go back and show they'll

405
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: come up with some crazy idea that that's meant as

406
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: as pure parody, and three months later it turns out

407
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: to be true. But let me let me answer that question,

408
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: tom or let me answer that statement on John Bell Edwards.

409
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: John Bell Edwards is the most strategic choice for Democrats

410
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: to make. He won't be their candidate because for all

411
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: the think pieces about how the Republican Party has lost

412
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: its way and Trump split the party and the base

413
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: is angry at the party and there's in fighting. Actually

414
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: that's not true. It's the establishment versus the rest of us.

415
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: And we learned how to channel that that power, and

416
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: we learned how to win elections, and we're not giving

417
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: it back. We're not going back to Jeb Bush and

418
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: John McCain and Mitt Romney as our nominees. We're never

419
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: doing that again. We won't do it. And that makes

420
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: them angry. But the left has a real problem. They've

421
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: got a Bernie Sanders problem. They've got a Bernie Sanders

422
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: problem that they don't know how to fix. They've got

423
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: an Alexandria Cassio Cortez problem that they don't know how

424
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: to fix. They have a Rashid Taliban store problem. They

425
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 1: have an ilhan ilhan Omar hates Jews, she hates Liberals,

426
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: and she hates America. Rashida Taliban wants to defund every

427
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: law enforcement agency. AOC is playing in Florida today and

428
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: she's become the bell of the ball for their their goofiness.

429
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: They've got a real problem on their hands. Nancy Pelosi

430
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: is the most powerful Speaker of the House America has

431
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: ever seen. She is a strategic genius. You don't have

432
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: to like her. She is a genius at getting things

433
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: done and she's gotten more done than any speaker ever has.

434
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: But she's too old, and they don't have a next

435
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,239
Speaker 1: next level. And the influential sources, the influential elements they

436
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: have are very far left and they know it. And

437
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: that scares the people who want to win elections because

438
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: they're way, way, way out of line with the rest

439
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: of the population. I'm Michael berryan for Claytrap. It's some

440
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: Buck Sexter Clay and Buck will be back on Monday.

441
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: I'm Michael Berry in the meantime, Wall Street Journal Editorial

442
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: Board has a wonderful piece today entitled the Conformity crack

443
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: Up of twenty twenty one. From COVID lockdowns to crime

444
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: and cops. The political media consensus was wrong, and they

445
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: lay it out, point by point by point that lockdowns

446
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: were supposed to stop COVID nineteen. Of course that wasn't true.

447
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: The Steel dossier, the Russia collusion narrative, vilifying the police,

448
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: and how that hurt crime and how many people suffered

449
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: as a result of it. It's really really well done,

450
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 1: fantastically well done. What does the cow say and what

451
00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: does the cats say? Yow? And what do the sheep say? Well,

452
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: I guess I'll get the vaccine if I have to.

453
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci now draws the distinction with children in the

454
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: hospitals at increasing numbers. He draws the distinction that we

455
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: should have drawn when this thing started. There is a

456
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: huge difference between being in the hospital with COVID and

457
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: being in the hospital because of COVID. But the other

458
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: important thing is that if you look at the children

459
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: are hospitalized, many of them are hospitalized with COVID as

460
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: opposed to because of COVID, and what we mean by

461
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: that if a child goes in the hospital, they automatically

462
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: get tested for COVID and they get counted as a

463
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: cod hospitalized individual, when in fact they may go in

464
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: for a broken leg or appendicitis or something like that.

465
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: So it's overcounting the number of children who are quote

466
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: hospitalized with COVID as opposed to be cause of COVID.

467
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: There was a large county in California that when an

468
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: audit was done afterwards, and I'm impressed they actually did

469
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: the audit, they realized that over twenty five percent of

470
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: the people who supposedly died in the hospitals from COVID

471
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: instead died with COVID. The difference being if you go

472
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: in with the heart attack and they do the autopsy

473
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: after you die, and you had the COVID virus, you

474
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: had the infection. The COVID didn't kill you. You just

475
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: happen to have it. I mean, let's take an extreme example,

476
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: which happens to be true. George Floyd, it was learned

477
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: in his autopsy had COVID. Well, how about we say

478
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: that COVID killed George Floyd, and then we can let

479
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: the police officer free. Right. We could say that that

480
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: George Floyd died from COVID instead of with COVID. But

481
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: that won't do, will it? Because it was very important

482
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: that we make law enforcement out to be the enemy.

483
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: Law enforcement are bad, bad people. That's cops, and they

484
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: all hate black people. And if we play on a

485
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:24,719
Speaker 1: long held suspicion by many urban blacks that cops are

486
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: all out to get them, then we can use that

487
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: to mobilize people to vote. And guess what, it worked.

488
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: They do it because it works. Let's go to Nick

489
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Go ahead, Nick, Hey, how's

490
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: it going, brother? I just wanted to call in and

491
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: talk to you about the sixth. You know, I'm an

492
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: independent owner. I watched all the legislative hearings in the

493
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: Swing States, and I just saw a massive overflow of

494
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: evidence of fraud, you know, and it brought me to

495
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: tears a few times. Well. I went to DC with

496
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: a former military friend and a former law enforcement friend,

497
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: and when we got there, we walked down to the

498
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: rally at six in the morning, and the car that

499
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: was parked next to us was a car full of

500
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: black men, and they understood what was going on, and

501
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: we walked down there together, you know. So to hear

502
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: Pelosi talked about white supremacists, you know, it breaks my heart.

503
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: There was so many Chinese people out there, and so

504
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: many Black and Asian people there. You know. Um, misinformation

505
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: just you know, it just hurts, you know, And I

506
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: just wanted you to know. You know that there was

507
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: the most peaceful gathering of a million people you'll you'll

508
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: ever see. You know, people walk through the crowd with

509
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: f Trump masks on and nobody said anything to them.

510
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: You know. Um, if you had to walk through a

511
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: BLM rally with a Trump had on, you wouldn't make

512
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: it out the other side of a hundred people, you know.

513
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: And we witnessed the DC police escort buses of supporters

514
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: into DC. Um when they shut the whole city down,

515
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: you know, so I'd be curious to see who paid

516
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: for those buses and who was on those buses. I

517
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: was from them when they were getting off, and it

518
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: looked like they went to a homeless shelter, packed these

519
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: people up with gear, and unloaded them there in DC. So, UM,

520
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: there's definitely conspiracy. I'm not saying that. Um, there wasn't

521
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: some mad patriots there, but there was some you know,

522
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: there was a conspiracy, you know, to you know, to

523
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: make this worse um than it than it actually was.

524
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: You know, Nick, what do you do for a living?

525
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm I'm on a telecom technician. I've been doing that

526
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: for about twelve or thirteen years. You're alignman for the county.

527

528

Speaker 1: I do residential and commercial fiber optics and I've been

531
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,959
Speaker 1: good to me and my family. We've been able to
