Two thousand and four was the year 118 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 2: the Democrats were looking for a candidate to take back 119 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 2: the White House from the sitting President, George W. Bush 120 00:07:53,760 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 2: on January nineteenth of that year. The Iowa Caucus, the 121 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 2: Iowa Caucus more often than not, does not pick the winner. 122 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 2: Not only is it not dispositive of who the the candidate, 123 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: who the nominee is going to be of the party. 124 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 2: The Iowa Caucus very often is won by somebody who 125 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 2: doesn't actually win the nomination, much less the presidency. In 126 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, I delivered the address introduction of Ted Cruz 127 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 2: before he would go on to win Iowa the next day. 128 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: As you know, he didn't win the nomination. Trump did 129 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 2: and went on to be president. But often that's the case. 130 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: You'll have a candidate like a Pat Robertson who will 131 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 2: do very well in Iowa but not win. You're not 132 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 2: actually even getting any any caucus votes, or you're not 133 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 2: you know, actually you're not getting delegates. Delegates is the word. 134 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 2: Actually know, it's actually just a caucus. You know how 135 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 2: caucus works. It's a crazy thing. You got to go 136 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 2: at one point in your life go watch an Iowa caucus. 137 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 2: It's unlike anything else because for everybody else, the way 138 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 2: you vote for president is on primary day, you pick 139 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 2: your nominee. On election day, you go and vote at 140 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 2: a local school is the most probably the most common place, 141 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 2: or a governmental building, or depending on where your your 142 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 2: precinct is, somebody's garage. And so you go in and 143 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 2: there's always there're always old people. There's hopefully some sweet 144 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 2: little old person, and they're excited you're there, and they're 145 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 2: really really excited over the civic duty part. And then 146 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 2: there's somebody over there in her job is to give 147 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 2: you the stickers. A sticker giving lady has the job 148 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 2: because she's genuinely excited that you're voting. And so the 149 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 2: first people they're very nervous, and so they show you 150 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 2: your whole thing, and then you vote, and then you 151 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: take your ticket and you go and in Texas where 152 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 2: have voting machines, you go over and you get your 153 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: machine and you spend it and you pick it all 154 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 2: and you didn't print it out, and then you go 155 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: put it in there and you just secretly in the 156 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 2: back of your mind think they're gonna cheat somehow, they're 157 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 2: gonna cheat, and then the sticker lady, and if it's 158 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 2: done right. The people at the polling location are not 159 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: concerned with who you're voting for. They're just really excited 160 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 2: over this idea of voting as it should be right. 161 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 2: And so then you go on about your business. That's 162 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 2: you cast your vote, and then they count them up, 163 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 2: and that's how you determine who That's how you determine 164 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 2: who wins and loses. That is not what a caucus is. 165 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 2: A caucus is like something your kids or grandkids go to, 166 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 2: and it does tend to skew much younger. You go 167 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 2: into a high school gymnasium for your area, and there's 168 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: a sign up. There Ran Paul, there's Ted Cruz, there's 169 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 2: Donald Trump, there's Jeb Bush. And you go over to 170 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 2: the sign of the person you're supporting. So let's say 171 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 2: there's three candidates. To make it easy, you start. Each 172 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 2: Each of the three people has a count up. The 173 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 2: first round of the caucus vote, each of them has 174 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 2: thirty three votes. So then they go all right, and 175 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 2: it's like a game at some summer camp or elementary 176 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 2: school recess. Then everybody go and so a cute girl 177 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 2: goes over, and this does happen. A cute girl goes 178 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 2: over and she says, you're for Trump, but I'm with 179 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 2: Jeb Bush. Can I talk you into Jeb Bush? He's like, 180 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 2: you can talk to me into going home with you, 181 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 2: and well, we can talk about that and then to 182 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 2: go over. And now in the next one, it might 183 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 2: be forty thirty thirty until you get to the point 184 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 2: that you have your results. So you're so you're caucus 185 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 2: goers are not just voters, they're persuaders, they're influencers. Now 186 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 2: the reason that's important is because what you're doing now 187 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 2: is rewarding something other than just the aggregate vote. You're 188 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 2: creating super voters because in a caucus there are people 189 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 2: who have a magnetic personality or incredibly good looks, or 190 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 2: trust and respect, whatever that may be, credibility, and those 191 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 2: people can pull people over to you. And we know 192 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 2: that an election is about people influencing other people, but 193 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 2: typically when you go into vote, it's one man, one vote, 194 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 2: and that's it. So that's what happens with a caucus. Well, 195 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 2: Howard Dean, the governor of Vermont, who was a doctor, 196 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 2: he was what they were looking for. The Democrats and 197 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: he was kind of hand picked from Central Casting. He 198 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 2: was going to be their nominee. His big knock was 199 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 2: he was short and a little spastic, but his spasticity 200 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: was on full display on Yesterday, June nineteenth of two 201 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 2: thousand and four. He was supposed to win Iowa. He 202 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: had devoted a lot of resources there. They go there 203 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 2: and he got whipped. So with Tom Harkins standing behind him, 204 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 2: an absolute socialist Democrat who claims he's for the Iowa farmer, 205 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 2: but he's part of this farmer populist movement that are 206 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 2: really deep down socialists. So Howard Dean gets his lunch 207 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 2: hand into him. He's whipped, and so he decides, I 208 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 2: have to fire up the troops. I've got to give 209 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 2: a great inspirational speech. So he takes a microphone and 210 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 2: he's going to show him, Hey, guys, it doesn't matter 211 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 2: that we didn't in Iowa. We're going to go to 212 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 2: this state, in this state, and in this state, and we're 213 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 2: going to win. And it was so contrived, manufactured, silly, fake, 214 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: artificial that it ended up destroying his campaign. It finished 215 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: him off. It's very rare that you see someone have 216 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: their entire political career collapse in one twenty three second clip. 217 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 2: But it happened. Now. We saw it happen to Jimmy 218 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 2: the Greek. We saw it happened to Howard Cosel. You 219 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 2: see a guy, what was the baseball announcer that got popped. 220 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 2: You see it happen on a hot mic or whatever. 221 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 2: But very rarely does something does someone do something where 222 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 2: their intention is so at odds with how it comes 223 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 2: off that it destroys their career. He thought this was 224 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: a good idea from the archive, from the vault. Enjoy 225 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 2: this moment. 226 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 7: You know something, Not only are we going to New Hampshire, 227 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 7: Tom Harken, We're going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and 228 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 7: Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico. We're going to 229 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 7: California and Texas and New York. And we're going to 230 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 7: South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan, and then 231 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 7: we're going to Washington, d C. To take back the 232 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 7: White House. 233 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 2: Cold weather swooping its way through Texas, and we here 234 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 2: in Houston, and I'm gonna go ahead and tell you, 235 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 2: I know y'all are gonna laugh if you know our 236 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 2: New Yorkers our East Coast folks, our Chicago folks, our Iowa, Kansas. 237 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 2: You know y'all have real cold weather. Hell, all you 238 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 2: Yankees are gonna laugh, the ones in Dallas, the ones 239 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 2: in Oklahoma, all you Northerners as we call y'all. But 240 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 2: it doesn't get cold in Houston, and when it does, 241 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 2: we freak out because we don't know what to do. 242 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 2: It's like, you remember in Florida a few years ago, 243 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 2: they the big debate was whether they had snowplows. You 244 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 2: remember that Ramon. So it's a big deal when it 245 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: gets cold here. And so we always laugh on the 246 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 2: show because every year it never snows. Just so you know, 247 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 2: when I was a kid growing up in Southeast Texas, 248 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 2: I always wanted snow. It never snows, and we did 249 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 2: have snow a few years ago, and it was the 250 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 2: snow apocalypse. It was the end of the world. Everybody 251 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 2: was going to die. And it's funny because people in 252 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 2: the Northeast when they see how our folks are behaving 253 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 2: there laughing, going like I wear shorts out in that weather. 254 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 2: What are y'all doing? So anyway, the weather reports every 255 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 2: year they'll say, you know, here's the weather, and they'll 256 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 2: do the Arctic, you know, they'll have the snow dripping down. 257 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 2: And then everybody told me, ah, bring the animals in. 258 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 2: It's a big deal. And they'll say, and there's a 259 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 2: chance of snow. This is true in Houston. There's a 260 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 2: chance of snow on Sunday. So we want to repeat 261 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 2: that there's a chance of snow because apparently everybody dies 262 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 2: if there's snow, and they do. You know, the news 263 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,959 Speaker 2: can no longer just be the news. They have to 264 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 2: act like they're improving your life. Right. That's why what 265 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 2: used to be money tips or finance tips are now 266 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 2: your money like they're here to help you. Everything they 267 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 2: do is design. We love you and we're here to 268 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 2: help you. It's your traffic, it's your weather you got, 269 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 2: we're helping you prepare. You can't live without us. We 270 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,719 Speaker 2: love you. It's so silly, but that's what they do. 271 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 2: So when there is the chance of snow it's five percent, 272 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 2: I think it is it five percent wrong. There's a 273 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 2: five percent chance of snow in Houston this weekend on 274 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,959 Speaker 2: one day, which means it's not going to snow, but 275 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 2: that way everybody, So all anybody's talking about is snow. 276 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 2: And let me tell you something. If you want to 277 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 2: watch something funny, watch a Houston broadcast, Houston local news 278 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 2: broadcast this week and hear them talk about snow in Houston, 279 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 2: because snow in Houston is going to be the end 280 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 2: of the there is and then the snow never comes, 281 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 2: and miraculously it always ends up being seventy five degrees, 282 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: and so all this hullabaloo and nothing ends up happening. 283 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 2: Today's tough story. 284 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 8: Massive snowstorms blanket much of the country, and more is 285 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 8: expected in the coming days. White out conditions stretching over 286 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 8: two thousand miles from Sexes to May. Frigid temperatures causing 287 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 8: freezing rain and ice, downing trees and power lines.

So I started asking around Ramo and 342 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 2: I we're talking about I started making phone calls to 343 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 2: people I respect and plumbers and and they all said, yeah, 344 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 2: it's a great product. So I mentioned it on the 345 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 2: air and I got this was earlier this morning. I 346 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 2: got a I got emails from listeners saying I use 347 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 2: the freeze Miser. It's fantastic. So I'm looking at this 348 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 2: thing and best I can tell you screw it into 349 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 2: the spigot. So you know, we've got these faucets around 350 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 2: the exterior of our house, most of us do, and 351 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 2: we might we might put a hoe, we might screw 352 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 2: a hose into that. That's it, I think, probably the 353 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 2: most common thing that took to water the lawn. And 354 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: even if you have an irrigation system, you need a 355 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 2: hose to hose stuff down. So you got these bigots. 356 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 2: But the problem is when it gets cold, then the 357 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 2: water freezes cracks. That's when you have pipe proms. So 358 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 2: I was looking at this thing. It's only thirty bucks, 359 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 2: and I was asking Ramona, how does that work? Because 360 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 2: I assumed, being the idiot I am, that it must 361 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 2: warm up and that way the water wouldn't freeze. Because 362 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 2: I'm not very smart in technical things. As I said, well, 363 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 2: come to find out. It's a drip technology, and so 364 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 2: I guess you turn the water on and it lets 365 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 2: a steady drip out, so you don't have just a 366 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 2: continuous flow of water that runs your bill up and 367 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 2: floods to place. But you get enough of a drip. 368 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 2: You know, you turn your water on to drip. Everybody 369 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 2: knows this to keep your your pipe from freezing. But 370 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 2: your external pipe is exposed like your fingers or your 371 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 2: ears in the cool weather. So come to find out 372 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 2: there is something manufactured in America. There is America, no how, 373 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 2: and this company's called Freezemeister. So I spent today making 374 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 2: calls and asking people. The reason it came up is 375 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 2: I have a show sponsor in Houston called Ace Hardware 376 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 2: Texas and it's the different Ace hardwarees. And the owners 377 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 2: were emailing me. I said, what's your best product? What 378 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 2: do you sell the most of when it's cold outside 379 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 2: like this when there's snow coming, And they said, the 380 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,239 Speaker 2: freeze Meiser. Everyone's coming to the Freezemeiser. So anyway, I 381 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 2: tracked the company down there in South Texas. They're actually 382 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 2: near sent In Tone. They're called South Texas. I don't 383 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 2: really consider that South Texas. But anyway, and I have 384 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 2: one of their top officials on the phone, and I 385 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 2: thought it would be fun to have a conversation about 386 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 2: something that's made in America that works, it's not overly expensive. 387 00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: So we'll talk to the national sales director of Freeze, 388 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 2: which I just learned about today coming up. America is 389 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 2: a nation that can be defined in a single word. 390 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 2: I was going to foot him. 391 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: Not only was it offending frontier gibbery. 392 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 8: Phineas Preston coverage scene of this data Michael Berry Show. 393 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 2: Jeffy u Belo is the national sales director of a 394 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 2: little family owned company that started a little sideline product 395 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 2: that has taken off, and it's a product you can 396 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 2: put on your spigot. You can get it at ACE 397 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 2: Hardware Texas dot com. You can get it in a 398 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 2: lot of places. But they're a show sponsor and I 399 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 2: like it and I love the concept because I don't 400 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 2: know if you know the deal, but ACE Hardware Texas 401 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 2: dot com is a website for the Ace Hardware that 402 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 2: support our show. But the concept behind ACE Hardware is 403 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 2: if you've ever thought to yourself, well, Walmart came in 404 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 2: and put all of the Bob's Hardware and Susie's Hardware 405 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 2: and Thompson Family Hardware out of business, and not only hardware, 406 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 2: the small gift shops, electrical shops, barbecue pit shops, gardening shops, 407 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 2: bird feed shops. So these families that wanted a family 408 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 2: run business, they went to Ace Hardware and said, you know, 409 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 2: Ace Hardware does the buying for you. That's how their 410 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 2: model works. So otherwise, you know, home Depot might buy 411 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 2: a hammer for a dollar and you got to pay 412 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 2: six dollars for it. Well, you can't stay in business 413 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 2: because the consumer says, you're charging me six dollars and 414 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 2: twenty cents for this hammer, and you know, yeah, I'm 415 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 2: only making twenty cents, but the home depot makes five 416 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 2: dollars and twenty cents. You can't compete. So small businesses 417 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 2: had to kind of pool together. It's like building a 418 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 2: militia when the Red coats are invading. You all got 419 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 2: to pitch in together because if I'm defending my farm 420 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 2: and you're defending yours, we're all going to get plowed over. 421 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 2: So anyway, I sent my assistant Emily to Ace Hardware 422 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 2: today and she picked up six of them and it's 423 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 2: the easiest thing in the world. And I thought it 424 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 2: was extremely cool. But I loved the small American business 425 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 2: solving a problem angle and I asked them to join 426 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 2: us for a minute. So, jeff U Beola tell me, 427 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,719 Speaker 2: first of all, the Freeze Miser was not as I 428 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 2: understand that y'all are a railroad company. What do y'all 429 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 2: do as your primary business? 430 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 9: Well, the primary business was pat Baker Company, which worked 431 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 9: the train the railments, and they expanded the business to 432 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 9: do something else besides the train wrecking business and started 433 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 9: Baker Products, which consisted of a product called a microsweeper, 434 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 9: which is mainly used in the cattle industry, and that 435 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 9: works below the surface of the water and it keeps 436 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 9: ice from a reforming in a water tank. And so 437 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 9: what they did is they took that same technology and 438 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 9: developed the freeze Miser back in twenty seventeen. And initially 439 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 9: it was rolled out for a faucet protection, so it 440 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 9: protects all your exterior waterfalls and the supply line in 441 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 9: the walls. And that's one of the main things, right 442 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 9: is we've had these styrofoam faucet covers forever and that's 443 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,719 Speaker 9: all they are is a cover well. The freeze miser 444 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 9: protects not only your faucet, but that supply line in 445 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 9: the wall up to one hundred and fifty feet. But 446 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 9: along in those lines, we found out that the freeze 447 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,479 Speaker 9: miser can be utilized on many different things other than 448 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 9: the exterior faucet. So that's one being one of them. 449 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 9: The other one being you can put them on one 450 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 9: hundred and fifty foot of water hose where it protects 451 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 9: the water hose and the stigt from freezing. So you 452 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 9: have folks that have animals that need to water their 453 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 9: animals a year round, and they're tired of draining the 454 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 9: hoses every time they get done using them and roll 455 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 9: them up and bring them in the house. Now they 456 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 9: put the freeze miser in the water hose and it 457 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 9: keeps the hose from freezing up as well. Then you 458 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 9: get the ranchers that put them on top of their 459 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 9: float valves for their water tanks for the cattle, and 460 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 9: that keeps them ever having to shut the water off, 461 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 9: and it drips thirty seven degree water in the tank 462 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 9: and if they don't to bust hardly any ice. And 463 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,479 Speaker 9: then we found that it also works on our so 464 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,120 Speaker 9: you have folks that use their RVs during the winter time. 465 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 9: They can go spend one hundred and thirty dollars on 466 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 9: a heated hose, or they can spend thirty dollars on 467 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 9: a freeze miser and twelve dollars on a wive valve 468 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 9: and they have water to their RV without having to 469 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 9: use electricity. Another utilization we found out is pressure switches 470 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 9: on your water wheels. So if you get folks out 471 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 9: in rural areas they have to use heat lamps to 472 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 9: keep their pressure switches from freezing up. You use a 473 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,959 Speaker 9: freeze MisOr and you don't have to use electricity. So 474 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 9: we ended up finding out there's all these other benefits 475 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 9: and uses that the freeze miser can be used on. 476 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,239 Speaker 9: It are currently being used. So over the course of 477 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 9: you know, eight years, we've found all these other applications 478 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 9: that they can be used on as well, So. 479 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 2: That is fascinating. I want to go back you started. 480 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 2: Your first answer was that you're in the train wrecking business. 481 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 2: And I read that when I was doing background research 482 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 2: on y'all, and I had to look it up because 483 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 2: you both use that term, and it says a train 484 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 2: wrecking business refers to specialized railroad contractors who provide emergency response, recovery, 485 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 2: and clean up for train derailments and other rail accidents. 486 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 2: I've never heard the term train wrecking business ever. 487 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And it was started by you know, 488 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 9: there's brother two brothers, Steve and David Baker, whose grandfather 489 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 9: started that company back I believe in the forties. And 490 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 9: they had two divisions, one in Kingsbury, Texas, another one 491 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 9: is actually in Houston, and they've been in that for 492 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 9: forever and they decided to expand, you know, do something, 493 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 9: try to do something else, which was the Freezemeiser in 494 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 9: the in the microsweeper, to have another part of that business, 495 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 9: a different type of business, I should say, so, Yeah. 496 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 2: Spring Paul interest in the This had nothing to do 497 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 2: with the train wrecking business. They just got tired of 498 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 2: their their their faucete bursting or what was it. 499 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 9: Yeah, David's not around it to talk about this right now, 500 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 9: but yeah, it's just something they wanted to, you know, 501 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 9: they were focused on the train business. They thought it 502 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,959 Speaker 9: was it would be nice to try to have something 503 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 9: else beside the trains wrecking business. So David kind of 504 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 9: spun off of the train wrecking business and focused on 505 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 9: developing the micro sweeper that they had been working on. 506 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 9: Him and another guy, Robert Dowan, who is the chief 507 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 9: engineer behind it, and they worked side by side developing 508 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 9: those products as another business opportunity other than a train 509 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 9: record business. 510 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 2: And how has this business done for y'all? 511 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 9: Oh the twenty twenty armageddon that we had here in 512 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 9: the state of Texas. Once that happened in twenty twenty, 513 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 9: it kind of started growing and leads some bounds year 514 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 9: over year. And so since that, you know, our business 515 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 9: has greatly expanded. 516 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 2: Well, I think we. I sent my assistant. I sent 517 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 2: my assistant to ACE Hardware, and I think she bought 518 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 2: I don't know the exact number, but she counted on 519 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 2: my house and on our studios. I think she counted 520 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 2: twelves figots all in because there's there's properties that have 521 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 2: buildings on them, and she and I said, put it 522 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 2: on every one of them. I think it was twelve 523 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 2: of them. So obviously, once somebody knows about it, if 524 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 2: they want it, then they're going to buy a whole 525 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 2: lot of them. And what I loved was this product 526 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 2: is completely American made, right, Yes. 527 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 9: Sir, they're made in Kingsbury, Texas, and all the parts 528 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 9: are sourced in the US, from the brass to the 529 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 9: casings that's in Austin and the brass of San Antonio. 530 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 9: And we have another local machine shop right down the 531 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 9: road from us that makes our plugs and our rods 532 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 9: that we put into the Freeze Miser, and all of 533 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 9: them are machines that we use. Were made by Robert Doolan, 534 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 9: who's our chief engineer for a company. So he developed 535 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 9: to some machines as well. So the employee write at 536 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 9: about seventeen people that work day in, five days a week, 537 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 9: making them year round. 538 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,479 Speaker 2: So I love this. You know what I tell you 539 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 2: when I give speeches. I tell business people who are 540 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 2: looking to transition careers. I tell businesses who are starting up. 541 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 2: I tell young people coming out of school. Solve people's problems. 542 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 2: Don't worry about what you're making, how much money you 543 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 2: can make, how much you can charge. Solve people's problem. 544 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 2: This is a solution to a problem, and therefore there 545 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 2: is a market for it. I love it.
