Who has good stuff right there? 22 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: I'll tell you a quick story, real quick. So my 23 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: friend Mark Lopez, my wealth manager, I like that term 24 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: better man. 25 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 2: It's too much. Don't hold it back. Mark. 26 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: There's three of them that worked together John Carolyn Adam, 27 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: Andy McGhee and Mark Lopez. And Mark's been my friend 28 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: for many years and his he and his wife met 29 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: when they were both competing in international taekwondo competitions, so 30 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: she's real fit. Also, I wanted my kids to learn 31 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: martial arts when they were younger. So Dagmar March's wife 32 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: teaches taekwondo, and she used to come to the house 33 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: to teach my kids. And when she would come, Mark 34 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: would drive her and hang out. And if I was there, 35 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: or when i'd get home in the evening, he'd hang 36 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: around and we'd have dinner, have a glass of wine, 37 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: we'd talk about this or that. But before I got home, 38 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: his wife would put him to work and he would 39 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: have to hold the bag for the kids to do 40 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: their training kicks and all, and he would have to 41 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: you know, he'd have to take the body blows and 42 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: stuff once she was teaching technique. And so he was 43 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: at the house at least twice a week for years, 44 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: and so when George came home, Mark was already there. 45 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: You know, she knew Mark as a member of the 46 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: family and he would always fuss over her loves dogs 47 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: and loves German shepherds, and so from the time she 48 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: was little, a little puppy that I brought her home, 49 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: he was petting on her and loving on her. Well, 50 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: they haven't been to the Mark hasn't been in that 51 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: capacity for the last few years, but he does come 52 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: to the house when I have guys over. He'll come 53 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: to the house, and you know, whether we're sitting outside 54 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: and smoking cigars and talking or whatever else. He's a 55 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: fitness nut, so he's not a big cigar smoker or 56 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: even much of a drinker, but he comes and everybody 57 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: likes him. But for the last few years, when I 58 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: have guys over, we always put Georgia up because you 59 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: just don't know with a dog like that, at what 60 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: moments she snaps because she thinks I'm under threat or 61 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: my wife is under threat. So we just put her 62 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: away when when friends come over who don't know her. 63 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: So it's probably been in three or four years since 64 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: Mark's been in the house that George was there. Well, 65 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,839 Speaker 1: last night next week, on the twenty fifth, I put 66 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: together an event because I've had several friends who've had 67 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: life events that planning would have helped them a lot, 68 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: including a business owner who passed. Two business owners who 69 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: passed unexpectedly, and the last thing you want is for 70 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: the government to take all your money instead of your family. 71 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: Someone who sold his business almost overnight, didn't expect, didn't 72 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: see that coming. 73 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 2: Could have made some changes. 74 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: Someone who had a tax event that was unforeseen that 75 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: took the business down after decades of working on it 76 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: and he didn't see it coming. And again planning, and 77 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: so that's been a focus. At fifty five, I focused 78 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: a lot more on strategy and planning for my health, 79 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: and strategy and planning for my time management. You know 80 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: how I spend my time, And I don't mean trying 81 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: to get more done, actually trying to get trying to 82 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: do fewer things. My ideal week is nothing on my 83 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: calendar and doing what I feel at that moment. And 84 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: so ramon, I'm looking at a new place for RCC 85 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: two and Moses said, let's go this afternoon, and so 86 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: I may. 87 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 2: I may. 88 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: If you're interested, email me or text me and I'll 89 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: tell you where it is and we may end up 90 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: just to get the feel for get other people's opinion anyway. 91 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: So there's there's my health, there is my time. So 92 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: that I'm focusing on family wellness, unplugging, and then there 93 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: is finances and really being more strategic. I invest more 94 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 1: aggressively now I look at I look at things differently, 95 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: and it also means that I spend less money because 96 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: I want to focus money at investing more. So we 97 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: put together this evening for next Weeklast night we were 98 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: going over everything of what we were going to talk about, 99 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: because we're pulling together my estate planning lawyer and my 100 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: CPAs and them and talking about for business owners because 101 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: we got eighty five show sponsors that are business owners 102 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: and they need to be thinking about what's going to 103 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: happen to your business. What happens to your business if 104 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: you down in a car wreck on the right home. 105 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: What happens to your business if the IRS says you 106 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: made a mistake on your interpretation of this and it's 107 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: going to hit you. It happened to me at the RCC, 108 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: ended up a million dollar bill, almost took me down, 109 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: took me five years to pay the damn thing off. 110 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: I had no idea I was and I am still 111 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: mad at Glenn Hagar over how they handled it. But 112 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: it turned out that I had a rogue employee who 113 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: wasn't handling the issue, and I did not know that. 114 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: And you find out something like that and it bites 115 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: you real bad and you go, WHOA, I'm going to 116 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: be better at minding the ship. 117 00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 2: You know. 118 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: When we started the RCC, my wife said, you can 119 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: do it only two rules. Number One, family comes first, 120 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: so you can't miss any family events ball games, and 121 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: I never have ever. Number Two, you cannot bankrupt us. 122 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: You don't need to make any money, but you cannot 123 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: bankrupt us. Okay, Well, I damn near did the second 124 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: one because I had to end up paying we closed 125 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: the RCC, I had to pay off all the comptroller accounts, 126 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: all the past do taxes and all that. I had 127 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: to pay that off monthly, and it took me probably 128 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: two years. And I was very angry about that because 129 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: there were people to blame for that who knew better 130 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: and were behaving bad. Anyway, long story short, so last 131 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: night we're coming back into the house and George isn't 132 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: put up. My wife said, oh, put George up, and 133 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: I said, oh, don't worry about it, as you guys. 134 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 6: And George hasn't seen Mark in three or four years, 135 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 6: and she's always very aggressive towards people. She went right 136 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 6: up to him and sat on his feet and went 137 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 6: she remembered it. I loved those You ever see those 138 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 6: stories on TikTok or whatever. The animal hadn't seen their owner, 139 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 6: and it was beautiful. We crossed the one hundred station. 140 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: Threshold now at I think one hundred and four and counting. 141 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: You know, it's amazing. In twenty years of doing this, 142 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: I had built up to thirty two stations on my 143 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: own self, syndicating completely independent. Signed with Premiere in the 144 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: summer summer two years ago. We were supposed to go 145 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: live January first of twenty twenty five. 146 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 2: They had. 147 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: That companies that already wanted to sponsor our show, and 148 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: they said, can we go? Can we start early? It's 149 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: just flipping a switch for us, I'm talking into a microphone. 150 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: Ramon might have to do five minutes of work, but 151 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: within reason, it's just settings on a machine and where 152 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: it's going, and so all right, well, we'd like to 153 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: start the week before or the week of the election. 154 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: So it's going to be November of twenty twenty four, 155 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: so we'd like to start right before that. A couple 156 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: of days before that was going to be a great launch. Okay, 157 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: so we're going to start two months earlier. Fine, it's 158 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: not going to change what I say or how we 159 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: do it. And then they start getting calls from advertisers 160 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: is their word. I used the word sponsors, and they said, 161 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: could you start early again? I can start tomorrow. So 162 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: we started October seventh. Took me twenty years to get 163 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: thirty two affiliates between October seventh and I think February first. 164 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 1: Because now we had professionals doing it, we went from 165 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: thirty two to sixty four. We doubled in a few months. 166 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: And the difference is you show the way our business 167 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: works is you got some guy in let's say Hershey, Pennsylvania, 168 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: and somebody local dies or goes off the air or 169 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: gets laid off, very common in our business. Or a 170 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: show goes away. Maybe they carried Bongino and Bongino goes 171 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: into the government.

And I think he's already started the interview 221 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 3: process and have his has his agent working MSN NOW 222 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 3: or ms NOW and UH and CNN, because he'll be 223 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 3: that that guy, He'll be that Republican that'll be, you know, 224 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 3: in front of the folks with all of his wisdom 225 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 3: about how bad the Republicans are. 226 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: Maybe I do think they know they've I do think 227 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: he realizes that he's lost, and I do think I 228 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: do think he actually really doesn't want to do it anymore. 229 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 2: I don't think he enjoys it. 230 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: It's been three years, it's been three terms, it's been 231 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: six now seven years. I do think he realizes that 232 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to have to stand before working class 233 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: people in northeast Houston and answer for why he's sending 234 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: their money. 235 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 2: To Ukraine constantly. I think he's tired of that, and 236 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 2: that's okay. 237 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: What he should have done is gracefully step down and say, 238 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: you know what, this is a game for other people 239 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: to play. 240 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 2: I don't want to be part of it. I'd like 241 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 2: to go off and make some money. 242 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: There's no shame in wanting to make money. His problem 243 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: is he believes that members of Congress should be able 244 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: to trade stocks, and a lot of people like myself, 245 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: believe they shouldn't. That's an honest disagreement. In fact, by 246 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: the way, the president is going to make that a 247 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: big issue. It came out at their their meeting this week. 248 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: Mark Halpern was reporting on it. The meeting that Susie 249 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: wils hosted three nights ago.

You're not 262 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: going to get it done because Congress isn't going to 263 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: pass their own law restricting themselves. You know, these are 264 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: the people who exempted themselves from Obamacare. But look, I 265 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: don't wish ill On Van Crenshaw. He was once a friend. 266 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: I actually feel bad for him. I think he's in 267 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: a bad place and my prayer is that he find 268 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: a happier place to be. 269 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 2: But I cannot support him for Congress. 270 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: The first inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, 271 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: Chuck Berry, ny featured performance in nineteen eighty six at 272 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: the induction of the inaugural class that saw Elvis Little Richard, 273 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: James Brown, Ray, Charles Fast, Domino, Sam Cook, the Everly Brothers, 274 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: Buddy Holly, and just to have one white dude. 275 00:15:52,640 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 2: Jerry Lee Lewis.

I mean anytime they do smear 290 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 7: tactics and I mean you've pointed it. 291 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: Out, Well, that's not advertising, that's political speech. We have 292 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: always separated political speech, and we should. Let me suggest, 293 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: I get to understand. I get the frustration LANs. Let's 294 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: switch from advertising, which is by this vehicle for this 295 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: amount of money. It's great, it runs fast, you'll love it. 296 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: It has Corinthian leather. Now let's talk about political speech, 297 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: because political speech is very different. Now, when you say 298 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: I don't like when Canada X says it, Canada Y 299 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: is a bad dude. All right, so we're not going 300 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: to let him do that. You can't lie about your opponent. 301 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: That seems like a very reasonable thing to say. How 302 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: will we implement that. Let's pause this, just think this through. 303 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 2: The deep. All right, Candidate X. When you say of 304 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 2: candidate why. 305 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: He's a bad guy, and we say, you can't say 306 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 1: that unless he really is. Who is the person or 307 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: what is the entity that you will give the power 308 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: to say yes or no that is true or it's not. 309 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: The whole point of elections is to determine who was 310 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: lying and who was telling the truth. The people are 311 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: the jury. If you say Donald Trump, you cannot say 312 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 1: that Kamala Harris is unstable. We the FCC prevent you 313 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:55,239 Speaker 1: from doing that. We the Supreme Court. For anything that 314 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: we say we want to add as a regulation, you 315 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 1: must understand it. You are going to give someone the 316 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: power not only to regulate, but the power to abuse 317 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: the regulation power, and therein lies the problem. Sometimes the 318 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: solution is worse than the problem. Well, I'm just tired 319 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: of hearing them say I'm tired of all the negativity. 320 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: Everybody says I'm tired of the negativity. They also say 321 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: they hate it when people rubber neck next to an accident, 322 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: but they do it. I'm tired of Okay, do you 323 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: actually do it? Great example, people say we need term limits. 324 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: I'm tired of them people serving a long time. Okay, 325 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: let's do term limits. How many terms for Congress? 326 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 2: Three? 327 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: All right, we'll have three terms two years each. Okay, 328 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: I got it. What about your congressman? Well, he's one 329 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: of the few I actually like. All right, Well he's 330 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: been there for seven terms. 331 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. Are you going to vote for him? 332 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 4: Oh? 333 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 1: I see what you mean. Yeah, I mean, I guess. 334 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: But you know, if we don't have some terminims, I'm 335 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: gonna to vote for him. Well, no, impose your own 336 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: tournament vote against him. 337 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 2: But we don't do that, do we. 338 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: So sometimes we have to recognize that there are I 339 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: don't like injury, right, we hate the idea that people 340 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: get injured playing football, but we recognize that it's naturally 341 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: part of the process. I don't like the negative campaigning. 342 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you, having been a candidate, having 343 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: been around campaigns, everybody says they don't like negative campaigning. 344 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: People respond to negative campaigning like you would not believe. 345 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: I'll give you a great example, Don Hafein. Don Haffines 346 00:20:54,960 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: has run a very well funded campaign. He is supported 347 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: by everybody other than Greg Abbott, Huffin's former state senator. 348 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: There's nothing about his state Senate experience that anybody can say. 349 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: He's bonking girls, he's stealing money, he's been investing.

And if there is 468 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,479 Speaker 1: a problem, people will tell you to your face and 469 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: you will learn that. So there is this desire, and 470 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: God bless you for it. There is this desire that 471 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,959 Speaker 1: you're going to do a great job and you're going 472 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: to get great reviews and everything's going to be good. 473 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: But you realize that guy's review is not based on 474 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: the experience he had. His review is based on his 475 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 1: own level of unhappiness. And you can't fix that, goober. 476 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 2: You just can't. 477 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: It's a real hard thing, and I've had I've had 478 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: to try to learn this. It's a real hard thing 479 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: to let it go, because what you want to do 480 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: is battle that guy and destroy him. There are days 481 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,719 Speaker 1: I had one two days ago. I had a day 482 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: where I had to turn away from the Internet because 483 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: I was yelling at everybody, everybody. I was being an 484 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: ass for my wife. I was being unpleasant to George. 485 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: I was unhappy in my own skin, and I realized 486 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: that I just had too many things coming at me 487 00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: at one time, and that's on me. I had one 488 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: friend who sent me a message of him, a picture 489 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: of him and a person, no idea who it was. Okay, 490 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: thanks for sending this. I have no idea who this 491 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: is or why you send it or whatever is. But 492 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: what I wanted to say is don't text me ever again. 493 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: You've just wasted my time because all you needed to 494 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: do was say, hey, I'm with so and so. This 495 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: is how you know him. I don't tangentially because he's 496 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 1: with this group. Okay, but I let myself get bothered 497 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: by that.
