1 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, Luck and load. The Michael 2 00:00:11,760 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: Very Show is on the air. Book paid somebody to 3 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: write a book and then got paid quelties on it, 4 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: and she did the book tour for it. It's called 5 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: one hundred seven days one to seven, one hundred seven days. 6 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: Do you know what that? 7 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 2: You know? 8 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: That book was named because she had one hundred seven 9 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: days from being the nominee of her party till election day. 10 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: That's not enough time to put together your own team, 11 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: not enough time to do much of anything. The way 12 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: a campaign works, because there are a lot of people involved, 13 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: you're going to have the right guy making the decision 14 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: on Let's just take something very simple but important, the creative. 15 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: Are you going to run an ad that says, Kamala 16 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: Harris is a saint, She's an accomplished fighter for you, 17 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: she's great. Here's the here's the spot. Are we going 18 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: to put our money behind that spot introducing Kamala Or 19 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: are we going to put our money behind this spot 20 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: attacking our opponent. He's a bad guy. You don't want 21 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: him back in. That could turn out to be a 22 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: pivotal question. Those sorts of decisions need to be made 23 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: by people. You trust you don't have any time in 24 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: one hundred and seven days to execute on all that. 25 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: That's one of the Kamala campaign was burning through cash 26 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: in a way I have never seen in my life. 27 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: They were paying millions of dollars for celebrity appearances, Meghan 28 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: the Stallion, Beyonce Knowles all who says Beyonce Knowles Beyonce, 29 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: I mean it was crazy money that they were paying 30 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: to people. They built a set for the girl that 31 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: has the Caller Daddy podcast in DC. Rather than just 32 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: fly out to the girls set in LA and tape, 33 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: they built the set. I forget what I read. I'm 34 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: going to make this number up, but this feels like 35 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: what I remember. And again I could be on It's 36 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: like two hundred thousand dollars to replicate that set so 37 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: that it would look like she was filming it on 38 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: the girl's usual set, but in fact it was a 39 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: complete replication that. Then they tore down, just burning through 40 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: cash millions at a time. Why why did they do that? 41 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: Why did she only get to be the nominee for 42 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: one hundred and seven days? Wasn't fair to her? That's 43 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: her argument. I didn't have time to put together campaign 44 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: don't write me off yet. I shouldn't get to come 45 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: back and be your nominee again, and this time have 46 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: a full eighteen months to put together a proper campaign 47 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: and run properly. I had to introduced myself at the 48 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: last minute. It wasn't a real campaign. I didn't have 49 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: the chance to get the people behind me to do 50 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: what's necessary to win this election because it was hastily 51 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: thrown together. Why was it hastily thrown together? Because do 52 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: you remember what happened? The Democrats realized that Biden can't 53 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: remember his own name. Sometimes he starts a sentence and 54 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: shot And you have to have some debates. The president 55 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: can't hide from every debate. He's got to have at 56 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: least one, maybe two, if not three. There's a historical 57 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: precedent you can hide from debates when you're leading. He's not. 58 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: You need the debate to talk to the samplers, the 59 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: independence and moderates of people that you could still win over. 60 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: But we can't put him out in front of a crowd. 61 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: So what did they do? They staged this is all 62 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: it is not The voters decided. Remember, they didn't allow 63 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: any primaries in twenty twenty four, the Democrats didn't allow 64 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: any primaries. Robert F. Kennedy was out trying to get 65 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: on the ballot in the primaries. The Democrats wouldn't let 66 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: him have one. There was no way in hell they 67 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: were gonna let him have a primary because he would 68 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: have beaten Biden and everybody knew it. So they just 69 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: decided we're not gonna have a primary. Now. They didn't 70 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: say we're not gonna have a primary because we're in 71 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: charge and you're not. You idiots, but vote for our 72 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: candidate in November. They didn't say that what they say 73 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: be distracting to the process. The nation needs to stay focused, 74 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: and Democrats, we need to make sure we win in November. 75 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: If we let y'all choose state by state the way 76 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: we've always done it, the way you've been led to 77 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: believe you are entitled to, so that you picked the nominee. No, no, 78 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: we'll pick the nominee. We've chosen Biden. You understand it 79 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: would be I mean, look, if we dragged this thing out, 80 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: it costs a lot of money and be a bunch 81 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: of we're going to do all that. We've already picked 82 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: our guy. Just just fall in. Okay, So that's who 83 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: the candidate was going to be, which kee Kamala and 84 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden and y'all don't need to do it, and 85 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: y'all a bunch of idiots anyway, And everybody knows this 86 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: is a top down party. We got a handful of 87 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: people you'll never see and they make the decisions and 88 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: don't worry about it. You just just focus on Trump 89 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: and he's bad and rich people. Bye, Okay, So then 90 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,559 Speaker 1: you move along. And one hundred days before one hundred 91 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: and seven to be exact, to quote her book, before 92 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: the election, they decide, well, wait, let me rewind a 93 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: couple of weeks before. How do we get Biden out? 94 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: He still wants to stay there and his wife loves 95 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: being first Lady. They're not going into the good night. 96 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: They asked him, will you step down and let Kamala 97 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: you can still get to be president. You know, I 98 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: still nap in your own bed every night through the 99 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: end of the year. And he said no, or she 100 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: said no. Actually it's the way that went. So what 101 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: did they do? They staged an early debate in June. 102 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: It's the first time we've ever had a presidential debate 103 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: in June. No he's paying attention to a November election. 104 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: In June, the Democrats staged that debate and Trump was 105 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: willing to do it. Why Trump wanted to go against 106 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, He was ready for that, and he didn't 107 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: want to appear to be scared. He always wants to 108 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: project strength smart. So they had the June debate remember this, 109 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: and that was the moment where the Democrats supposedly there 110 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: was a ground swell. The Democrats the next day all 111 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: we heard it was almost as if they were reading 112 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: from a script Nancy Pelote. They all said, Oh, everybody 113 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: wants Biden out. They're very concerned. Oh well, we'll give 114 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: you what you want, because because you're concerned, it's not 115 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: up to us, it's up to you, and you say 116 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: you want Biden out. So within a few weeks they've 117 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: smothered him and there's been a coup and they put 118 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: Kamala in. Why not have any still no primaries, still 119 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: no vote. Well, this looks bad. So they held a 120 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: virtual vote, a roll call vote. On I think it 121 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: was August seventh. They did a role call vote where 122 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: you could vote for your candidate and you had the 123 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: option of Kamala or well, nothing, and it turns out 124 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: Kamala won, and it turns out she had no mandate, 125 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: and it turned out the insiders had chosen her, and 126 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: it turned out that was wrong, and it turned out 127 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: we said it was wrong, and we don't do that 128 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: and go back to one of these women, Right, Michael Berry, 129 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: I think that there might. 130 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,239 Speaker 2: Because I got nothing going on down there, Probably. 131 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: It's time to ratchet up the fear machine. Fox News 132 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:45,599 Speaker 1: DHS Funding Fight. That's some top big letters on the left. 133 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: The fight has a red background like it's blood or something, 134 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: DHS funding fight, but the fight is in red and 135 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: it's aalicized slightly italicized the fall. That's most of the screen. 136 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: And then to the right there's an inset of a 137 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: live camera view of Capitol Hill. DHS funding fight and 138 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. They're battling it out. DHS Funding Fight, Capitol Hill. Well, 139 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: do we not have footage of the FBI driving over 140 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: to Nancy Guthrie's house or somebody who worked on a 141 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: previous case telling us what they don't know about the 142 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: Nancy Guthrie house. Let's go now to Bob Smith. You 143 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: remember the case, that famous case in the past Bob Smith, 144 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: who's now retired from the FBI and now in our 145 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: payroll to come and say drivel like this. He's here 146 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: to tell us, Bob, what do you think is happening? 147 00:09:54,080 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: What do we know? Well, Samantha, that's just it. We don't. 148 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. It could be that Nancy Guthrie has 149 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: been murdered in cold blood, But it could be that 150 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: Nancy Guthrie has wandered off. Old people do that? So 151 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: do we issue the silver alert or do we go 152 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: through a China cabinet and to discuss who's getting what? 153 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: These are the sorts of things the FBI, and I 154 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: can assure you, having been there, is working very hard 155 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: to figure out. Thank you, Bob. Okay, Now we have 156 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: Susie here. Susie's some guests that we cobble together because 157 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: we always need a panel because our hosts have nothing 158 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: to say of use. So Susie, what are your thoughts? Well, first, 159 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: let's just say that I think the nation has been 160 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: through a lot. We've all been through a lot. We're 161 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: spellbound by this case. I think that we all we 162 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: all want a conclusion to this case. I think we're 163 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: all very concerned, very worried. We don't know what we 164 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: don't know. We don't even know what we know, so 165 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: we don't know what we know nor what we don't know. 166 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: So it's hard to know what we don't know, since 167 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: some of what we don't know should be what we know, 168 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,359 Speaker 1: but it's something we don't know, and it's very complicated 169 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: right now. I know that that law enforcement is working 170 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: very hard. I know they're working very hard to get 171 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: answers to these sorts of things. Thank you very much, Susie. 172 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: That also quite insightful. Let's go now to the next 173 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: big story. So we've got DHS funding fight and then 174 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 1: a live picture of the Capitol. Oh, they're battling it out. 175 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: I'll give you the money for DHS. No, I won't, Yes, 176 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: I will, No, I won't. 177 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. 178 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. You guys, y'all are just rolling up 179 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: your sleeves and governing. Good on you. Good play, Good effort, guys, 180 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: good effort. That's fine, good effort. Way to go. You're 181 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: doing your best. You're just rolling up their sleeves and 182 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: just getting in there and just governing government. 183 00:11:59,280 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: Government. 184 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: Look at them, look at him. Go. You got the capitol. 185 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: You've got DHS funding fight, and then below you've got 186 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: the chiron because something has to explain it to you. 187 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: National security concerns amid DHS battle. You know what this means, right. 188 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: You weren't paying enough attention over the arguments as to 189 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: whether the Department of Homeland Security was going to be 190 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: able to buy new jets or not. You weren't paying 191 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: attention as to how many billion dollars they're going to get, 192 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: and why why would you? You don't know where that 193 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: money goes. You just kind of generally want the border closed. 194 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: You don't know whether they're buying jets, whether Christy Gnome 195 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: is bonking Corey Lewandowski or he's bonking her in a 196 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: bedroom or not, and you don't care. Frankly, you don't 197 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: know whether they're getting new paper clips or new computers 198 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: or you just want the border security. And you have 199 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: no idea how much each side is asking for, and 200 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 1: you have no idea how many little riders are buried 201 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: into the bill so that John Cornyn can get this 202 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: and John Thune can get this, and Lindsey Graham Lord 203 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: knows he's got to have some war over there because 204 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: the porn supplies running low. Poor bastard. I worry about 205 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: our time in Iran because I feel like we've gone 206 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: way past the four hours and he needs to call 207 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: a doctor. So you've got this national security concern amid 208 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: DHS battle. My goodness. So what that means is you 209 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: weren't paying enough attention to the battle, and so now 210 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: we want you to know you're probably gonna die. So 211 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: we're ratcheting up the fear machine. Oh no, make it stop. 212 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: Hey guys, you'll work a deal, John Thune, work a deal. 213 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: John Cornyn, work a deal. Please, work a deal. What's 214 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: it going to take. Work a deal. Let's go now 215 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: to John Thune. He's having a press conference. Well, we're 216 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: doing the best we can and the Democrats are being unreasonable. 217 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: Be unreasonable. We're gonna do the best we can, but 218 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to be reasonable. Oh and by the way, 219 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: we really want John Cornyn here. Have you noticed that 220 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: John Thune has been on the record about five times 221 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: since Tuesday night telling us, as the Senate majority leader, 222 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: how important it is to the Senate that John Cornyn 223 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: be the nominee. Do you know that he has also 224 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: made statements that he's putting pressure on the President to 225 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: endorse John Cornyn. What the hell? What is the Senate 226 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: majority leader pressuring the president to get involved in an 227 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: election in a state John Thune is not from? Do 228 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: you see what's happening here? Our government is being held 229 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: captive over whether the president does what obviously he wasn't 230 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: naturally going to do. If he was already going to 231 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: endorse John Cornyn, he endorsed Alex Meeler. You didn't have 232 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: to hold the government up for that. Why did you 233 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: have to hold the government up and hold all of 234 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: this hostage in order to get him to do what 235 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: he was going to do? If he was going to 236 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: do it, he doesn't want to do it. So now 237 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: we've got Thune playing his best card, shooting his shot. 238 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: They're trying to break Trump's arm to get Trump to 239 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: do what Trump doesn't want to do, and we're all 240 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: just sitting here watching this. What the hell is the 241 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: Senate doing putting pressure on the president to get involved 242 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: in a race in Texas against his natural wishes? Again, 243 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: if he naturally wanted to do this, they wouldn't have 244 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: to pressure him. What are they pressuring him with? We'll 245 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: taunt you, We'll say you have small hands size your hair? 246 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: What do you what leverage do you think they have? 247 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: Because Thune has said they are pressuring the president. What's 248 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: the only pressure John Thune has that he can apply 249 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: to Donald Trump. What's the only thing that would get 250 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: Trump's attention? So that's what they're doing. So if there 251 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: is a Cornin endorsement, just no, your government was sold 252 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: out so that John Cornyn can continue to be in 253 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: your government and your vote for Ken Paxton doesn't matter. 254 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: Just remember that. 255 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 4: From morning suits to coordinating accessories. 256 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: I have often lamented that because we do terrestrial radio, 257 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: we don't get the opportunity to really lay out and 258 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: explore a subject at length in a way that takes 259 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: especially me a long time to get to because we 260 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: have to do our show at a nine minute packets. Now, 261 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: get off my lazy ascid. Just do a podcast when 262 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: we're finished. But after five hours a day most days, 263 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: I'm not willing to do that. When I do, it's 264 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: always little brief ten minutes because it's something I wanted 265 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: to get to and we didn't get to that day. 266 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: It is a different beast when you do the show 267 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: in nine minute packets because you can't number of emails 268 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: coming in, who's loss of vita? Okay, so it's hard 269 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: to explain who the players are when people are coming 270 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: in and going constantly, and they don't do that with podcasts. Now. 271 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: The flip side is podcasts are boring and they're not interactive, 272 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: whereas the immediacy of live radio, which is how most 273 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: of our listeners it's actually about fifty and fifty now. 274 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: But the immediacy of being able to interact with people 275 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: in real time as you are going about your day 276 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: and letting us come with you is very different than 277 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: a podcast. And that's how I came up, and I 278 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: wouldn't trade that, but that's just that's the difference. But 279 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: I have decided of late that I will try to 280 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 1: do more of a podcast type discussion when it is 281 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: something I feel passionately about, whereas I normally just kind 282 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: of make a point and move on. So if I 283 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: have felt a little more tedious of late, it is 284 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: because this is an issue of great importance to me, 285 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: whether it is to you or not. And that's okay. 286 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: It's okay that we don't always agree on what you 287 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: care about. And yes I am aware that I repeat myself. 288 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: There is a requirement to do that in a terrestrial, 289 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: that's radio based environment, because people are constantly coming and going, 290 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: and otherwise you only make your point to a small 291 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 1: percentage of your audience. So if you've noticed that to 292 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: be the case, that's why. But speaking of immediately, let's 293 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: go to Ken and then packs Ken, and then Pat 294 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: and then Rahul. What's that? 295 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 4: It's Ken? 296 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: Okay? Ken? You say Ken with two syllables. 297 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 4: I like it. I'm for Patton, and as far as 298 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 4: I'm concerned, one of them gets elected to Washington. They're 299 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 4: working for the people here. They're not working for the President, 300 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 4: the Speaker or anybody else. Now, they can work with them, 301 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 4: but if they don't do what we want them to 302 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 4: do down here, as their constituents, we the next election, 303 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 4: we need to vote them out and give them their 304 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 4: term limits. 305 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know how we can vote them out 306 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: if we've decided that the president will pick our nominee 307 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 1: based on the deal he's cut with the Senate Republicans 308 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: and we only get to vote every six years. But yes, Ken, 309 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: I get your point, and I agree with your point. 310 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: I do find it interesting how many people, because I 311 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: see the names come across my email, how many people say, 312 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: I'm tired of the swamp. The swamp runs our lives, 313 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: the swamp runs the government. I've had enough of it. 314 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: I've had enough of it. All right. You just put 315 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: a candidate up who had a name ID never happens, 316 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: who raised enough money past at three dollars at ninety 317 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: cents per vote. Corn's been one hundred and thirty dollars 318 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: per vote. Do you know why? Because Paxton didn't have it, 319 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: and Paxton didn't need it. Cornyn had it because DC 320 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: wants him, and Cornyn needed it because you don't like him. 321 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: So now all these people who tell me all I'm 322 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: tired of DC, they're out of touch. We need to, 323 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: we need to, we need to. They got all these 324 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 1: different things we need to do so we can take 325 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: back our government. We didn't take back our government because 326 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: I'm tired of DC running everything and not paying attention 327 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: to what we want. Okay, you're gonna run off, You're 328 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: about to win it. You got your guy. Well, maybe 329 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: let's let John Thune cut a deal where he'll give 330 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: the President what he wants. The President will use all 331 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: the capital he's built up with us for being a 332 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: good guy. Sacrifice. Ken Paxton put Corning in for six years, 333 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,719 Speaker 1: which means he'll be there for four years after Trump's 334 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: even gone. That's how bad this mistake is. And we'll 335 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: do it just this one time. We'll let the swamp 336 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: rule us without us getting to vote, because that's what 337 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: we're talking here. We're talking about shutting this thing down. 338 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: We're talking about the pressure on Paxton to get out 339 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: of the race because Trump cut a deal with food. 340 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: That would be that's the logic that's being used here, 341 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: whether that's true or not, because you don't need to 342 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: vote for this person. The fact that you voted for 343 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: this person and caused a primary to go into a 344 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: runoff has DC in a panic, and the fact that 345 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: they're about to lose means they're ready to negotiate. They 346 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: want to negotiate because they are going to lose and 347 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: they know that. So what they're trying to do is 348 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: prevent this thing from coming to a vote at the 349 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: end of May because they won't win. But they can't 350 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: say that our guy can't win. Y'all don't like him. 351 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: Four terms he's been there. He called the very people 352 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: who were about to vote radicals this week, he called 353 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: them that he stabbed Trump in the back and told 354 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: Trump not to run. That pissed people off. He said 355 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: the border wall was ridiculous, and I'm surd and silly, 356 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: and we wanted the border wall. He's for red flag laws, 357 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: non starter. You don't want him Texas. So Paxton needs 358 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,719 Speaker 1: to get out of the race. Wait what Why does 359 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: Paxton have to get out? Because you don't want Trump, 360 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: because you don't want Corning. So it'll cost a lot 361 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: of money for us to try to convince you you 362 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: want Corning against your wishes, and you don't want us 363 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: to spend all that money to you. I don't give 364 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: a damn honestly, don't. You can spend every penny you want, 365 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 1: every penny because it's a game to you people anyway. 366 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: The consultants are going to get all the money, no 367 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: matter what. They're going to make a fortune off this. 368 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: By all means, spend all the money you want. Blow 369 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: it all, ain't my money, blow all your money that 370 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: you spend so that you can own John Cornyn. But 371 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: what I won't do is help you get there. I'll 372 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: do everything in my little power, in my little corner 373 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: of the world to remind people that if you give 374 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: your power to DC. And if they use Donald Trump 375 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 1: to get you to do it, it doesn't make it 376 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: any more noble. But Donald J. Trump, Michael, he loves 377 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: me in America. He does. Sometimes he has to cut deals. 378 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: Are you ready for him to cut a deal? If 379 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 1: that's where we get are you ready for him to 380 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: cut a deal so that you don't get to check 381 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: to choose your Senate candidate? And if you are, wow, 382 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: just wow? Well, Michael, you know, sometimes we got to 383 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 1: be pragmatic, Michael. Sometimes we got to do the right thing. 384 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: You don't put our pride aside? Why can't Corny put 385 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: his pride aside? If we recognize that a primary is 386 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: supposedly going to hurt the donors and supposedly hurt Ken Paxton, 387 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: how about John Cornyn not do all the things that 388 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: would hurt Ken Paston? Well, Paston can't win in November. 389 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: That's the next argument. If we get through these next 390 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: few days, the next argument is, well, passion can't win 391 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: in November really, because then head to head poles, he's 392 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: doing better than corn is number one in number two. 393 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: This is exactly what you said in twenty sixteen. Don't 394 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:38,479 Speaker 1: vote for Trump, don't trust your heart Trump Trump. You 395 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: want to vote for Trump today, but you don't want 396 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: Trump in November. Wait what Yeah, so vote for who 397 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: you don't want today because that way who you don't 398 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: want will be who you don't want in November. But 399 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: have to vote for it because that's all you left with. Wait, 400 00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: this doesn't make sense. Yeah, exactly, Yeah from Erica. Yeah, 401 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: because remember, we don't want the Democrats to win. Just 402 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: focus on how much you don't want the Democrats to 403 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 1: win so that you'll do really stupid things and then 404 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: wonder why, even when you have the House, the Senate, 405 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 1: in the White House, you can't get to save Act pastor. Oh, 406 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: because they're holding it hostage so they can keep power. Oh, 407 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: let me help in that. Just so you know, this 408 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: is in my top five all time of most underrated song. 409 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: Absolutely it is. Let me go to the phone lines 410 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 1: with you want to imagine this, Let me give you 411 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: the roadmap ahead. April twentieth through April twenty eighth. Coming 412 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: up pretty soon will be early voting for local non 413 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 1: county political subdivisions, so school board elections. See, we have 414 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,719 Speaker 1: to do the school board elections on a day that 415 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: nobody is ever voting, because that way the teachers and 416 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 1: the administrators can be the only people who vote, which 417 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: is what happens, and that way they can keep voting 418 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: themselves in and raising your taxes and spending more money. 419 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: So that's why we have to hold a special election 420 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: just for them, because if they did that when we 421 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: just voted the other day, or if they did that 422 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: in November, which would be the reasonable time to vote. 423 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 1: If they did that, then then everybody would show up. 424 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: And if everybody'd show up, they'd go, wait, I'm not 425 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: voting for the people that keep raising our taxes. But 426 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: when you have it on a day that almost nobody votes, 427 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: the majority of the voters are the teachers and administrators themselves. 428 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: So that'll be April twentieth through the twenty eighth, and 429 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: then May second will be the date of the election. 430 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: And then you've got May eighteenth through the twenty second. 431 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: You've got the runoff for the for the primary that 432 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: we just held. So that'll be the Paxton versus Cornin 433 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: unless John Thune determines who our nominee will be, and 434 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: maybe you'll that's what y'all want. And in June eighth 435 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: through the thirteenth, we'll have the Texas Republican convey and 436 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: then October nineteenth through the thirtieth we'll start our early 437 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 1: voting for the midterms, and then November third we'll have 438 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: the general election. So for those of you who are 439 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 1: really really bothered that in your mail you've, in addition 440 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: to the leaf gutter company and the landscaping company and 441 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: the dentist company, there's also a mailer for some politicians, 442 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: and that's really just warn you out. Sorry, but we 443 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: got a little wayte to go, and then when that's done, 444 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: we'll start over with city elections, and we've got lots 445 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: of fun, lots of fun to be had. Rick, you're up, 446 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: go ahead. 447 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 2: Hey, I know you're very humble. You don't want to brag, 448 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 2: but just want to congratulate show on the outcome for Steve. 449 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: So. 450 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 2: I don't know much about him. I only know the 451 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 2: negative campaign adds that I heard from his adversary, but 452 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 2: just wanted to ask if you could do us a 453 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 2: favor and hold his feet to the file, to make 454 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 2: you an assistant conservative. Let him know that I got 455 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 2: you in this office and I can get you out. 456 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 2: Do you know, Steve, I do not I do not 457 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 2: don't know anything about him, Well. 458 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 1: Call him and ask him what I texted him afterwards. 459 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: Ask him if it sounded like a threat or a 460 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 1: call to action. I guess it could be called either one, 461 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: but safe to say that holding an office holder's feet 462 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 1: to the fire is kind of my thing. So yes, 463 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: I agree with you. And by the way, I didn't 464 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: do anything, I just talk on the air. A lot 465 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: of people work their butt off in that race to 466 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: get Steve Toath elected. A lot of people have worked 467 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: their butt off to help Alex Meeler lead the first 468 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: round going into the runoff in the newly created ninth 469 00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: congressional district that goes East Harris County over through the Port, 470 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: which is the important economic engine of our region and 471 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: really our country over all, the way into Liberty, and 472 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: I think Liberty County will end up determining that race. 473 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: And I like that because they like Meeler, and I 474 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: like Meeler, so I like our chances there. But look, 475 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that work very hard to 476 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: win these elections because they're passionate about it, not because 477 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: they are personally financially invested. The way the consultants and 478 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: the media buyers and the DC swamp aar. So yeah, 479 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: I think that's pretty damned impressive that people like you 480 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: care that much. It's a good thing. That's the only 481 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: check to the system. Chris, you're up, go ahead, Ah right, 482 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: thanks for taking the call. 483 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 3: I'd like to remind voters that when we step into 484 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 3: the boot to vote for the Senate position, this is 485 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 3: a six year play, and whoever wins this race, they 486 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 3: will be installed. Really, the term will begin next year, 487 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 3: it's my understanding, which means will only have two years 488 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 3: of Trump. So what's going to happen the four years 489 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 3: you know of the term when Trump is no longer 490 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 3: in office. You know, if Corning or whoever, if they're 491 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 3: making backwards these back to office deals to be a 492 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 3: good soldier and follow in line with Trump, that's fine. 493 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 3: But again, that's only a two year of the six 494 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 3: year term. Do that makes sense? 495 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: It makes all the sense in the world, and it's 496 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: a good reminder for people. You know, what happens is 497 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: it's funny, that's funny. It's odd to me how many 498 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: people now instead of like you have these rotissary leagues. 499 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: My kids are in them, and so Crockett will come 500 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: down stair. Crockett is big into this. Rott he knows 501 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: every player stats, every quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and 502 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: defense and kicker because it's all a stats based game. 503 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: And so I don't know if you know how this 504 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: game is played, but a fantasy league is called, and 505 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: so you build your team, but your team is not 506 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: a cohesive team in any sense. You have a quarterback 507 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: and they're all on different on it and it's all 508 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: based on stats. And then you play against each other. 509 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: So Crockett will come down and say, I'll say, hey, 510 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: crock why don't you go watch this game? The Eagles 511 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: are playing the Saints. It's a good game. I don't 512 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: know how any players. Well that's okay. It's a team 513 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: playing a team, and that's fascinating. Now my players aren't. 514 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: I'll meet you. I'll come down at three and we 515 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: can watch the Vikings game because I got JJ. But 516 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: what about this game? No players in it? I don't care. 517 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: And all he cares about And this is the way 518 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: young people, a lot of young people watch sports is 519 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: they watch sports based on a player and their stats. 520 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: They don't care about the score of the game. They 521 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: care that their player if the Bills are losing forty 522 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: nine or nothing. But Josh Allen scrambles for ninety nine 523 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: yards and scores a touchdown. That's a win because I 524 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: got Josh Allen and we're gonna get the ninety nine 525 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: yards rushing the touchdown. Well, we've lost sight of the game. 526 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: The concept of teamwork, the concept of execution, the concept 527 00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: of the strategy. All that's gone. It's just about the stats. 528 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: And so what we've been left with is a lot 529 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: of people who have forgotten the reason we have a 530 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: political system. This isn't a game, This isn't someway. We 531 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: even we can run this guy over here, and then 532 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: we'll put this guy in this position, and we gotta 533 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: hear over here, and we got this, We've got the 534 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: votes over here, and we'll do this. We put some 535 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: money over there, and then, well, well, what about whether 536 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: your kid gets sent to Iran or not? What about 537 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: whether your taxes are rare? What about whether you lose 538 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: control of your healthcare? What about whether we're gonna have 539 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: a border or not. What about whether there's gonna be 540 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: billions of dollars a fraud? And what about that? Because 541 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do is we're gonna move this over here, 542 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna move there. That's ridiculous. This is crazy. This 543 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: is our lives, this is our country, and this is 544 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: why so many people when you go, they're too stupid 545 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: to vote. People tell me it's all the time. I'll say, look, 546 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: do you realize how low vote are trying to? Yeah, 547 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: because people's too stupid to vote? Are they are? They? 548 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: What about the process has anything to do with their lives. 549 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: They're just trying to pay their bills. They're just trying 550 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: to get through today. And when they do, for just 551 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: a moment, stop and pay attention to the process because 552 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: they know John Cornyn is evil. You say, well, yeah, 553 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: but our guy needs to drop out so Cornyn can 554 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 1: stay there so that we can get something else that 555 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: they told us they were for, but they're not for 556 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 1: unless we give them the other things we want. Do 557 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: you hear yourself
