1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: After Paul Bosh died after a heart attack in his

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: home in Sugarland, IRV Marks at the memorial to him,

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: said this.

4
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: While we were making the commercials, we always had a

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: lot of fun. Uh. Mac was there. Uh, Doug Russell

6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 2: was there, and uh and myself, and we'd visit for

7
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: a while, and then Uh I'd bump into Mac and

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: I take the money out of his pocket. He'd do

9
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 2: his commercial jump up and down and look for his money.

10
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: It wasn't there. He'd go deserved. And we always had

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 2: a spare microphone. H pull there and sometimes I'd sort

12
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 2: of goose him while he's doing his commercially jump out

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: of his skin. He was a lot of fun and uh,

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: but that was the atmosphere that Paul created. Paul created

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: an atmosphere of comfort for the sponsors and and fun

16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: for us. And uh we sort of sort of miss

17
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: going down there. On Friday night, I saw them miss Paul.

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: As you know, Paul had uh huge cauliflower ears. I

19
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: guess that was his uh, his purple heart of the

20
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: uh wrestling ring. And Uh, every time we got to the dinner,

21
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: I'd always make fun of his ears. He loved when

22
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: I did it incidentally, and one time I told him, Uh,

23
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: and my wife lays claim to this that she asked

24
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: him to wearings and do an ad for for the store,

25
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: But it was really my idea, and Uh, I told him.

26
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 2: I said, Joe Namath did uh panty hose and Pavarotti

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: did first, whilst you gotta do earrings. Loved the idea.

28
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: We did a uh A newsprint Dad, and we took

29
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: the pictures right here in our store, in our employee lounge,

30
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: and UH one of the local magazines would run it.

31
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: They thought it was uh not too right for a

32
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: man to be wearing earrings. So we senate to Texas Monthly.

33
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: Texas Monthly published the ad was written up in ad

34
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 2: Week ad Age. Everybody was talking about it. I started

35
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: getting calls from ad agencies telling me how great it

36
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 2: was and they wish they thought of it. And we

37
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: lived on a gloria that print ad for quite a while.

38
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: IRV Marx passed away, I don't know, somewhere around twenty

39
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: years ago or so. His two sons took over the

40
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: business and it's a tough business and closed it some

41
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: years later. When I started in radio, I actually spoke

42
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: for I w. Marx, and I didn't have any money

43
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: to buy jewelry. I didn't know what jewelry costs. But

44
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: I remember going over for the first time to meet

45
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: Brad who was running the shop and his brother Daniel,

46
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: and going in the door and I thought, oh, buy

47
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: some for my wife, the right.

48
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 3: Thing to do, a nice thing.

49
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: And I come home and look what I bought for

50
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: you today. And I guess I was a little surprised

51
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: at what jewelry costs, or maybe they showed me the

52
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: stuff that wasn't entry level.

53
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: I don't know.

54
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: I just remember I don't even know what the amount was.

55
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: I just remember at the time feeling very small on

56
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: my city because I was new to radio and on

57
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: my city council salary, which was forty eight thousand dollars

58
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: a year. There wasn't Yeah, it wasn't gonna happen. They

59
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: were over on Holcombe slash bell Air at just about

60
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: the point where they where the two where the two

61
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: streets come together. And you know, if you're east of

62
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: say Stella Link, I think that's Holcombe and west that's

63
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: bel Air. That's kind of where I always considered it

64
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: at that It's an interesting intersection because I consider south

65
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: of that Holcombe bel Air intersection on Stella Link that

66
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: to be Stella Link and above that is Wesleyan. And

67
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: it's interesting because that's a four way where each one

68
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: of those legs is named a different thing where they

69
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: intersect there. So I looked up by the way interesting.

70
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: I started with IW Marx and I got crossways with

71
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: Brad Marx over can't remember what it was.

72
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 3: He didn't like that I had said what was it

73
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 3: I had said? And he didn't like it and like my.

74
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: Opinion on something, and so he called Eddie Martini and

75
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: he said, I don't like that. Michael said that I

76
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: don't want him saying that. And Eddie wasn't telling me

77
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: to say it or not say it, he was just

78
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: passing along that it had been said. And I said,

79
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Tell him he can kiss my ass.

80
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: And he said he's one of our biggest advertisers. And

81
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: I said, yes, but he's not my boss. He's not

82
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: telling me what to say. And so that was that,

83
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: and so I didn't speak for him anymore. And about

84
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: three months later I saw him in public and he

85
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: came up and he was like, because we've been buddies

86
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: before that, and he said, hey, what's going on? What

87
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: do you mean? But why where'd you fire us? And

88
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: I said, well, you told me I couldn't say that,

89
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: and we recovered all is well. But that gave me

90
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: an opportunity to meet Connie and Billy Stagner, who tomorrow

91
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: will have been in business for fifty years and have

92
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: become dear friends of mine. They're having an event at

93
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: their shop in friends with Robert Reis. Just told me

94
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: that Rick Flair got boots from Republic Boot Company. What

95
00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: do you think he got on his boots? Jim Martini glass,

96
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: They have had a good idea.

97
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh.

98
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: Kenny Duncan Junior goes to New York for I don't

99
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 1: know what it is, Comic con some baseball trading conventions,

100
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: some uh what is that thing? F what's it? What's

101
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: it called? I still don't't really even understand what the

102
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: damn thing is. Uh. You take an item and you

103
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: monetize it, and it's it's three initials, n FT, it's something.

104
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: It's something to do with one of those. And Kenny

105
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: Duncan Jr. Takes him to New York and they go

106
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: to these conventions and he said, man, it's like you're

107
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: walking with Donald Trump. People go crazy over Rick Flair. Well,

108
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: first of all, he's identifiable because he's got to look. Secondly,

109
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: he is as relevant today as he has ever been

110
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: because he's everywhere all the time. He is ubiquitous. He is,

111
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: he is, he is. I'm not going to say over exposed,

112
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: because I don't think he is. You got to make

113
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: a living, and that would be a judgment. It's not

114
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: a judgment against him. It is just to say that

115
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: to be relevant at his age and continue to do

116
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: that is amazing to me. You know, most people are

117
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: more or less forgotten shortly after their their heyday and

118
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: by the time they retire, and a few years later,

119
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: there might be a random person who kind of remembers

120
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: him to be this popular at this point in his life.

121
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: I love those stories. You know, Tony Bennett had had

122
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: a late life resurgence and d be I can't remember

123
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: who it was, Lady Gaga. So you're kind of dancing

124
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: around him and he would be standing out in the

125
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: middle and you know, crooning the same song in the

126
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: same dated style of you know, when he was at

127
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: his peak, which I'm here for. I love it, but

128
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: it's just fascinating that it kind of came back around.

129
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm always amazed when somebody who was big before I

130
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: grew up it's still around, or that their music or

131
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: art or film or whatever. My kids will mention their

132
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: name and how do you know that? How did that?

133
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: How did that show up on your screen or to

134
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: your mindset, because it's always interesting. One of the ways

135
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: that happened was Guitar Hero. Guitar Hero made millions of

136
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: dollars for I don't know, probably twenty bands or guys

137
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: who were in the twilight of not just their career

138
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,239
Speaker 1: in some of their lives, and Guitar Hero came out

139
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, their music was back. Some

140
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: of them took to touring again. They had a whole

141
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: new audience of people, and you know, irony is a

142
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 1: big thing for young people, so I think there was

143
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: also the you know, there was the idea of you know,

144
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: going to watch this eighty year old in concert, and

145
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: I think kids saw that was hilarious. Of course, Betty

146
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: White was damn near one hundred years old, and she

147
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: was still the toast of the town, and there would

148
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: always be this kind of cheeky way that she would

149
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: say she had a delivery, and it was always like, yeah, well,

150
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: when nobody's looking, you and I are about to get

151
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: it on whatever it would be in Betty White words,

152
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: and that was part of the charm to her. You

153
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: know who just died, Jim Hyacinth Missus Bouquet on keeping

154
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: up Appearances? Did you ever watch that show?

155
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: Oh man?

156
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,479
Speaker 1: There's two types of people, people who watch British sitcoms

157
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: and people who don't. And if you don't, you don't

158
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: give a damn And I get it, my apologies, I

159
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: fully understand. It's like when I talk about he Haw

160
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: and people haven't and they wish I'd stop talking about

161
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: he Haw, And it's hard for me to explain how

162
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: awesome he Hall was, how truly incredibly good he Hal was,

163
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: and people have he Haul kind of pigeonhole compartmentalized, as

164
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: you know. Two dudes coming up out of the cornfield

165
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: and saying I'm from wah population three hundred and forty eight,

166
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: Well that was one of them. But I love that,

167
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: by the way. I thought that was fantastic. But the music,

168
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: if you'd go to the YouTube machine and you put

169
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: in Conway Twitty place he Haul. They had a little

170
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:48,599
Speaker 1: little faux, a little shack over to the side. I

171
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: guess they'd roll it out when this scene would come on,

172
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: and they would have people come out and sing on

173
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: the front of it. You got George Jones, Conway, Twitty,

174
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: Dolly Parton, Porter Wagner, Waylon Jennings, Loretta Lynn, you name it.

175
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: Of that era they were on Hea Haul. The music

176
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: was great, the sketches were great. It was it was fantastic.

177
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: It was absolutely fantastic. But what I was going to

178
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: tell you is, so I went, Oh, Robert Reis reminded

179
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: me of what happened.

180
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 3: Let's see, let's see, let's see here, and.

181
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: Oh, here we go. Here's what happened. Robert Rees remembered

182
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: you were on the phone with a Jewish lady and

183
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: you were arguing with her, and she had just heard

184
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: you do a live spot for IW Marx and she

185
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: couldn't believe that they would support you, because she's mad

186
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: at me over what she's called in to argue with

187
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: me over you put her in her place on air,

188
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: but brought up IW mars. She was embarrassed and canceled

189
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: a thirty thousand dollars custom job with them. Brad Mars

190
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: got mad that you didn't apologize in a timely manner.

191
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: I met you over there for an apology. We had

192
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: a different person who was our sales director. Then he

193
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: pushed you to apologize. So you went over and you

194
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: were nice enough. But Brad was a not nice person

195
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: that day and walked right past us to his office.

196
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 1: It was a total blank move. Brad started using Milo Hamilton. Actually,

197
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: I thought Milo was great for them. Milo got it.

198
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: Do you remember Milo's spots for w Marsh okay anyway,

199
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: and also Walton Johnson. Oh anyway, he said. Corey Diamonds

200
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: came in a year later and the rest is history.

201
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: I love them. Tomorrow, starting at four o'clock is the

202
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: fifty year anniversary celebration, fifty years in business. They'll being

203
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: friends with love him Corey Diamonds. Jim pulled that from

204
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: a live from a live performance on he haw By Conway.

205
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: Are you looking at it right now? I remember correctly.

206
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: He's got his hair. It's it's not the kind of

207
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: more permed on the top. It's the combe straight back,

208
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: looks like a helmet. Yeah, and I think he's wearing

209
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: oh that one's all black, Okay, as an earlier one,

210
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: it's the all black suit and yeah, almost like a jumpsuit. Yeah,

211
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: heh yeah, that's a song right there, brother man. But

212
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: the United States has no obligation to host foreigners who

213
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: wish death on Americans. The State Department continues to identify

214
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk.

215
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: Get them out, you know. I hope that the hope

216
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump can inspire some other people to grow

217
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: a set and find a spine and continue when he's gone,

218
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: because a lot of people are doing what they're doing

219
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: because Trump is president and they either work for him

220
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: or we live in in the Trump era. But they

221
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: would never of themselves, Sue Sponte, do the things that

222
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: they're doing now Trump makes them better. I just worry

223
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: that in the absence of Trump, how many of these

224
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: people will continue to do what he's doing. So there's

225
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: Trump in the Middle East being hailed by the leader

226
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: of Pakistan as he should win the Nobel Prize. The

227
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: Venezuelan opposition leader says he should win the Noble Prize.

228
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: He's got, he's got Hamas and Israel the parties at

229
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: the table in Egypt. This this is Jimmy Carter's camp,

230
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: David Accords twenty x. This is the most amazing thing

231
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: is this is this is history in the making. Who

232
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: would have believed he could do this? He's pulled it off,

233
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: and the whole world is watching and celebrating, and back home,

234
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: at exactly that moment, there's Chuck Schumer bent over, looking

235
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: like the evil, demonic spirit that he is, kind of

236
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: hunched over, looking like he's just he's shuffling into an

237
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: office to you know, push a button and have a

238
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: thousand more people murdered or starved to death. Just has

239
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: that look about him, just those evil eyes. And there

240
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: he is, while while President Trump is leading the world

241
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: in bringing peace the eighth conflict for which he is,

242
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: he has broken peace by sheer dent of personality. And

243
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: back home, the Schumer's shut down and they're they're talking

244
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: about the most absurd things ever. And then Jasmine Crockett,

245
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: who her staff says she never comes in the office.

246
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: Apparently she just goes from podcast to podcast and speech

247
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: to speech and probably picks up some checks in between.

248
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: And there's the President showing the greatest leadership we've seen

249
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: in modern America and perhaps of all time, and that

250
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: there's Trump displaying that to the world, and the world agrees.

251
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: And back home, Jasmine Crockett, they trying to tell me

252
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna end the shutdown. We're not gonna end the shutdown.

253
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: We're not. He ain't my bows, hain't the bows of me?

254
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: They don't. Then they're not gonna tell me what to do.

255
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: They they gonna tell me you what do I do?

256
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: I won't I do it. I won't. I'm I'm president

257
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: of mee. Okay, he don't even know, he don't know nothing.

258
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: We're not We're not gonna end the shut down, not

259
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: till I get what I want.

260
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 4: And you're just like, good lord, this, this absolute ghetto

261
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 4: creeting is out here just smacking her jaws, just bad, bad.

262
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 2: Bad bad ba.

263
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: And the worst part is the absolute worst part of

264
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: it all is if that was how she naturally, authentically spoke,

265
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: that might be acceptable, but it's not. We have tape

266
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: of her just a handful of years ago, speaking without

267
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: putting on all that all that that that performance, it's

268
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: a performance. It's worse than Mitt Romney going going to

269
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: to Alabama and I like the height of the trees

270
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: here the trees are the right size or Michigan, I

271
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: guess he was at that point.

272
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 3: It is.

273
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: It is completely performative. And when you when you stop

274
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: and think about it, because you can get blinded by

275
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: how much you dislike her and not be sufficiently analytical,

276
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: stop and think about what she is saying. In order

277
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: to be the queen of the poor black people, I

278
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: have to put on this this accent, this this pigeon English.

279
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: I have to speak in this manner that is not

280
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: authentic to me. This is this is not this is

281
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: not paying tribute to the people. This is pretending to

282
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: sort of dumb down that which you are and believing

283
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: they won't notice. And maybe they don't, but I think

284
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: they do. I think every member of our society has

285
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: really cottoned on to what's going on the difference between

286
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: the right and the left. Trump gave them options. You

287
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: will hear people say Republicans will say, well, I don't

288
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: know about those two, but you know Corning's only one

289
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: can win next November. You'll hear that a lot. Well,

290
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, I know you like.

291
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 3: Let's say take pass it.

292
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: I know you like paston, but he can't win in November.

293
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: I don't love Corning. I mean, there's a lot of

294
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: things that I don't like, but I think he's got

295
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: the better chance to win in November. That is what

296
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: they tell people who who are people who would watch

297
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: a fight but never help, never save anybody, drive past

298
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: the situation and say, well, that's unfortunate, but keep going.

299
00:19:55,119 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: Allow their kid to be maligned in school and write

300
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: an email to somebody unrelated, but never go to the

301
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: school and do anything about it. These are people driven

302
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: by fear. These are people who paint within them. They

303
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: stay within the lines at all times because they don't

304
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: want to step out of line. They don't ever want

305
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: to be called out. They don't ever want to be

306
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 1: the point of the spear that everyone turns to. So

307
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: what they do is they keep their head kind of down,

308
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: but in their minds, they don't see it that way.

309
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: In their minds, that's the smart thing to do, because

310
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: you don't want to have to get into the fight,

311
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: you don't have to get into the argument over it.

312
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: And what Trump did is he said no, no, no, We're

313
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: going to paint in bowl colors, not pale pastels. To

314
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: quote Ronald Reagan, and he forces people to pick one

315
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: or the other, and that has turned out more voters.

316
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: Texas Southern University has announced a curfew at the school's

317
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: homecoming tailgate in the hopes of her being more violence.

318
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: Students and alumni are very upset. They said this was

319
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: due to gun violence at other historically black colleges and universities.

320
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: Here's a rundown of violence at HBCU events. Last weekend,

321
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: a child was injured at Jackson State University in Jackson, Mississippi,

322
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: after a shooting outside a homecoming tailgate area. There are

323
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: just things that white people don't do. Drive bys is

324
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: one of them. This is nuts and everybody knows it,

325
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: and nobody wants to speak of it, which is a

326
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: really powerful thing. It's also how you ensure that it continues.

327
00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: People will not speak up about problem plaguing some parts

328
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: of the black community, which by the way, mostly harms

329
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: other blacks. But nobody wants to speak up about it

330
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: for two reasons. The people who are not black democrats

331
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: representing that district, They're like, well, i'll just call it.

332
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: I'll be called a racist if I point out the

333
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: problem and discuss ways to solve it. Which is true,

334
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: by the way, doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. You

335
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: should still do it. Or the people within that community

336
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: who are in positions of authority are almost every time

337
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: to the person idiots and enablers. They have learned the

338
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: victim card. Who's to blame for somebody shooting up the

339
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: homecoming tailgate? Because I guarantee you wasn't a white guy

340
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: for five miles. Well, that's systemic slavery. It's the repercussions

341
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: of slavery.

342
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 2: You see.

343
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: One hundred and sixty years later, we find ourselves in

344
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: a situation where sometimes we must get in the car

345
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: and go boys in the hood. So we drive down

346
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: the street and we shoot through the windows at other

347
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: black people's homes hopes that someone might be killed. And

348
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,239
Speaker 1: it's not our fault, it's your fault. Okay, Well, how

349
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: about this. I never owned slaves and you never were

350
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: a slave. And for whatever reason, for the last one

351
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty years since slavery, for one hundred and

352
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 1: forty of them, this nonsense was not being engaged in,

353
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden this just comes up. We

354
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: didn't always have black people driving through black neighborhoods shooting

355
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: the place up. That didn't happen. But when's the last

356
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: time you heard a black politician talk about it? Won't

357
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: do it, and so so they'll find something to hyper

358
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,959
Speaker 1: focus on that is the exception to the rule, and

359
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: they'll look past this. It's a diversion technique. Rodney Ellis

360
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: said something out the other day or somebody lives in

361
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: his district, send it to me, And it was reimagining.

362
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: I hate the word reimagining, not as much as I

363
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: hate reinventing. I don't want any part of government reinvented

364
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: or reimagined. I hate that word and the people that

365
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: use it. But anyway, so it was reimagining the criminal

366
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: justice system five years after George Floyd was murdered. Huh,

367
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: faulty pretense, Sorry, faulty premise. George Floyd wasn't murdered unless

368
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: you consider his practical suicide, which is effectively what it was,

369
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: a murder by George Floyd of George Floyd. And to

370
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: think now will never cure cancer. So here is this

371
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: guy who's a career criminal who overdoses again, he'd just

372
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: done it shortly before that, gets rested again, arrested again,

373
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: doesn't want to get caught with more dope, go back

374
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: to prison. So he ingests it all, which is not

375
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: uncommon actually, and then he probably really couldn't breathe. But

376
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: the point at which he said he couldn't breathe, he's

377
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: sitting in the back of the car, in the air

378
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: conditioned car, in the back seat, while the officers got

379
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: out and called this in to try to figure out

380
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: what was going on. Nobody was pinning him down, all

381
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: that nonsense. Nobody was hurting him. I can't breathe. I

382
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: can't breathe, he was saying, I can't breathe for the

383
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: back of the car. The reason he died had nothing

384
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: to do with Derek Chouvain, who now rots in prison,

385
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: because he's another person that nobody wanted to stand up

386
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: for and speak out on, because it's better to let

387
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: this one white guy just let's give him over to

388
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: the crowd, like how the Aztecs were doing it. Let's

389
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: sacrifice him to the gods of racism. Oh okay, good,

390
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: we got our trophy. We got a white boy. And

391
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: so he's in prison, and cops are all bad.

392
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 3: M h.

393
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: Cops are all bad. And he's in prison and George

394
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: Floyd was murdered and Rodney Ellis is doing a day

395
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: a conference on reimagining the criminal justice system, and it

396
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: was a group of people on there who are all

397
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 1: of the opinion apparently that cops are bad and we

398
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: shouldn't enforce the law, and this kind of nonsense is

399
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: why crime is so bad in black communities. This is

400
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: the reason because, as I've told you a million times,

401
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: for every thousand shootings, there aren't a thousand shooters. There's

402
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: like seven. You get that guy off the streets, he's

403
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: a super spreader. Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book called Tipping Point,

404
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: and he compared movements, whether it's patriotism or MAGA or

405
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: socialism or all sorts of movements. He compared them to

406
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: infectious diseases and he used AIDS as one of the cases.

407
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: And what doctors began to figure out once they got

408
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: in and did these one on one interviews, they realized,

409
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: for every thousand people who were infected by AIDS, there

410
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 1: weren't a thousand separate people who had had sex with them.

411
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: There were like three. They were super spreaders, promiscuous, They're

412
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: out sleeping with loads of people. And so you take

413
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: one of those guys out of production, you shut the

414
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: whole thing down. That's also true of crime. But when

415
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: you've got an a an apparatus, a governmental apparatus that

416
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: is absolutely protecting this, that is decriminalizing this, you are

417
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: creating a situation where there is no law in order.

418
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: There's chaos, reins, and it's survival of the fittest. And

419
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: this is an incubator, a petri dish for really bad guys.

420
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: Because now that really bad guy who can't keep it together,

421
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: who won't show up to work, who beats his baby,

422
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: mama's absent the cops, Now he becomes a warlord like

423
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: in Somalia. And so you create an environment where you're

424
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: actually incentivizing bad guys and punishing those who are law abiding.

425
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: So who hurts little old ladies, little men, children. That's

426
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: why so many children grow up and get into the

427
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: gang life, in the criminal life is that's a form

428
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: of protection. And yet we continue on. Texas Southern University

429
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: announces a curfew schools homecoming tailgate in the hopes of

430
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: curving more violence. Well, that's a great recruiting tool, isn't it.

431
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: How would you like to be applying to the Texas

432
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: Southern and you find out that they have to have

433
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: a curfew on tailgating because of drive by shootings. So

434
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: wonderful academic environment, isn't it? Probably racisn't your something
