You cannot 18 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: go into the voting booth and open your phone or 19 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: your tablet. You can. You may, however, go into the 20 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: voting booth with any printed materials and review or use 21 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: those printed materials to assist you in any election that 22 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: you choose to use. So just remember ahead of time 23 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: your phone will not be able to be opened while 24 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: you're in the voting booth. But any other materials you 25 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: wish to have and would want to have had when 26 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: you go in, you'll need to download. Oh, you'll need 27 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: to print ahead of time and carry them with you. 28 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: I would encourage you, as I always do, to vote early, 29 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 1: so that you are not left on election day March third, 30 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: you are not left with a sorry, this is not 31 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,119 Speaker 1: the week it's it starts on the seventeenth. I jump 32 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 1: the gun on that. I get excited. So a week 33 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: from tomorrow, week from tomorrow, so the seventeenth to the 34 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: twenty seventh, I believe, or the days in which you 35 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: can vote, and what they call election day is March third. 36 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: But as always I encourage you to vote early, when 37 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: the crowds are spread out, when the procrastinators are not 38 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: all stacked up and you're waiting for an hour, and 39 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: when you can go on your own time, when you're 40 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: not in a rush. If you can go during the week, 41 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: tends to be a little easier because a lot of 42 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: people cannot then know all that kind of control over 43 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: their schedules, and so they have to go on the weekend, 44 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: and that tends to make slightly longer lines. Probably not 45 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: the case that you're going to have much trouble in 46 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: a primary. And remember this is a primary. You'll only 47 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: be voting if you're in the Republican primary for other Republicans. 48 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: Democrats will be voting for their candidates. We'll be voting 49 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: for hours. That's the semifinal round. The super Bowl will 50 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: be in November where you'll have the Democrats and Republicans 51 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: face off. I know you know that, but some people 52 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: just need a little reminder as to how the process works. 53 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: There is. There are some new polling out in the 54 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: Senate race. JL Partners shows Paxton, Hunt, and Cornyan all 55 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: within one point five percent, with Paxton in first, Hunt 56 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: in second, and Cornan continuing to drag ass in the 57 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: rear at third. Uh's Hobby School of Public Affairs shows 58 00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett up by eight points over James Talerico in 59 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: the Democrat primary for the US Senate. Taller Rico is 60 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: just not able to get any traction and I'm enjoying 61 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: watching that a whole lot. I hope Jasmine Crockett is 62 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: the nominee. Because I want the Democrats thinking to be 63 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: on full display. I want them to see what kind 64 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: of I want I want. I want the entirety of 65 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: the state to be so scared that that woman go 66 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: to the Senate that they have to show up and vote. 67 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: Because the naive neighbor, the nice neighbor doesn't think it matters. 68 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: You end up with a Jasmine Crockett out there yapping 69 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: the way she's going to yap and trying to create 70 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: a race war, and her wig falling off, and that 71 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: will be the moment that a lot of people will realize, Oh, 72 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: I guess I have to show up and vote. I 73 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: don't I don't want to. I have to. On the 74 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: Republican side, the same poll has Paxton at thirty eight, 75 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: Corning at thirty one, Hunt at seventeen. I do believe 76 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: Paxton is in first place. I do believe there is 77 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: some distance between Paxton and Cornyn. I do believe that 78 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: Hunt is doing better than seventeen percent. That is something 79 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: of an outlier. He has fared better and been in 80 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: second place in the polls that have been coming out. 81 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if you know you have to be 82 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: careful with a single poll that what looks like an 83 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: outlier could be a question asked badly. You could ask 84 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: a question, who are you for in the US Senate race? 85 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: Ken Paxton the attorney general, John Cornyn, the current US senator, 86 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: Or Wesley Hunt who's a pedophile murderer who tortures children. 87 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: Oh amazing, Wesley Hunt came in a distant I mean, 88 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: you can ask questions in a way. It's called a 89 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: push poll. But you can see push poll elements to questions, 90 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: and sometimes some of you have noted that you got 91 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: asked for your opinion in a poll and that the 92 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: hole didn't really seem it seemed a little odd. That's 93 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: what's called a push pole. And what you're intending to 94 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: do is twofold number one. You're trying to get results. 95 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: It says, my candidate's being the other being the other 96 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: candidate because a lot of people like to support the 97 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: candidate who's in first place. So you want to get 98 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: those results, and you want to artificially skew those results 99 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: by the way you ask the question number two. Every 100 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: call that goes out becomes a campaign call because you 101 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: basically say, let's say your candidate is candidate X, and 102 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: you're running a Guess why and the push poll conducted 103 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: by your own campaign or somebody on your behalfs like 104 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: hiring an expert witness to say what you want to say. 105 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: You call the people and you say, are you for 106 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: candidate X, who has an amazing track record never missed 107 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: a vote, is absolutely beloved and is endorsed by these 108 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: five people you respect? Or are you for candidate why? 109 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: And you go, well, guess canadate X? Welly, I sound 110 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: like a bad dude. Would it affect your vote to 111 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: know that Canadate Why cheated on his wife, beat his children, 112 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: stole money, is a pedophile and a cannibal? Oh? Can 113 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: I vote? Can I go back and vote again? I 114 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: will be for X for sure? Now, well, then you 115 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: release that poll and show X is winning and next 116 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: is winning big. So it's a common trick that is played. 117 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: You just have to be careful on polled. So I 118 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: want to talk about the game last night. Why Michael? Why? Well? 119 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: There are a lot of reasons. I think it is 120 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: a touchstone in our culture to understood, to understand what 121 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: happened last night, why it happened, and to discuss how 122 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: people are going to react because you don't really know 123 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: how people are going to react. It takes some time 124 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: to figure that out. Now, before you say why I 125 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: watched TPSU, TPUSA, I watch that, I'm not just at 126 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: the halftime show. I'm talking about the entirety of the event. 127 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: And this will be for the first few segments a 128 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: call centered discussion more so than usual. But hear what 129 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: I have to say first. Yeah, yeah, Just hear what 130 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: I have to say, and then I'll open the phone 131 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: lines up. After that, I would like to hear from you, 132 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: even folks who loved it. If you loved it, you 133 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: thought it was great, let's discuss that too. King Ting 134 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: continues on the Michael Berry Show. Well, if for some 135 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: reason you were emotionally invested in that game, leaving aside 136 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: the cultural stuff, it can't be as bad as Mac. 137 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: He stood to gain millions. I always get people to say, well, 138 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: why would Mac want the team to win? He has 139 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: to give away the free furniture. First of all, if 140 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: Mac gets to give away millions of dollars free furniture, 141 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: do you know how much free publicity that is? You 142 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 1: have any idea how much free publicy that is? You 143 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: know how many people will buy in the future because 144 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: of the fomo. Honey, we should have bought that furniture. 145 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: You told me not to do it. We should have 146 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: bought it. We could have got it free. There's that 147 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: and that, well, what's the value of that. It's got 148 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 1: to be a lot. And number two, he always hedges 149 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: that with an actual bet that he places for what 150 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: he estimates his furniture sales to be. So he's happy 151 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: to win his money that way. Number Three, he's a gambler. 152 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: He is a pure gambler. So once he starts laying 153 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: down bets. You know, it was originally bet two to 154 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 1: win four for a total payback of six. Because he 155 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: betted early. He knew he was going to do this, 156 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: so when the Broncos and Patriots were still in the 157 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,719 Speaker 1: championship game, that's when he placed his bet. Well, when 158 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: you drop two million dollars, the line starts to move already, 159 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: so you begin betting against yourself. Not easy to place 160 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 1: a bet like that. I think he said, Caesar's did it. 161 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: Caesar's usually takes his action because they want all of it. 162 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: But a lot of people don't want to bet that big. 163 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: And I know you know this We've had this discussion. 164 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: The House isn't betting against you. People don't understand that 165 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,599 Speaker 1: the House is not betting against you. The goal of 166 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: the House is to keep the big they want to bet. 167 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: They want to put, you know, one hundred thousand on 168 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: this side, one hundred thousand on this side. They can't lose. 169 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: Then the House does not bet against you. You don't. 170 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: They're not. If you put up a million dollars to 171 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: win two, they're not going to win or lose. But 172 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: what they have to do if you put up a 173 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: million that the Patriots are going to win, they then 174 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: have to, on that same line, find a million for 175 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: the Patriot for the Seahawks. And that is why they want. 176 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 1: A lot of them won't take big bets late in 177 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: the day because they don't want to be left absorbing 178 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: debts or risk. It's not their business. The House always 179 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: wins if the House has everybody equally balanced, that's what 180 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 1: they're looking to do. That's also why gambling odds change 181 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 1: closer to the day. That's not necessarily related to the 182 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: star quarterback pulled a hamstring. It's related to where is 183 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: the action coming in? Well, how do we get more 184 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: action on the other side to balance it out. I'm 185 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 1: not an expert in gambling, and there are lots of 186 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: gambling folks that are. Are they going to be very 187 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: keen to tell me I've gotten something wrong, the same 188 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: way that people if you mention a gun, they'll tell 189 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: you you're wrong. So they are a car or you know, 190 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: you know, you know the deal. I will leave that 191 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: at that, but I will say this, Mac is bummed 192 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: out because he wanted to win, and more importantly, he 193 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: wanted custom Us to win because that's the best thing 194 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: he can do. People love that. The next one would 195 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: even be bigger after that Astros deal when he gave 196 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: away all that furniture. Oh man, you know he won 197 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 1: seventy four million dollars, but the amount of furniture I 198 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 1: bet he sold as a result within the next year 199 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: because now people saw, oh it's possible, it could happen. 200 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: All right, So let's talk about what happened yesterday and 201 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 1: then we'll open the phone lines. Let me start with 202 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: a premise that the Super Bowl has never really been 203 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: a foot for a number of years. And I don't 204 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: know where you can go back to when when football 205 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 1: was just football, it was nothing more and football purists 206 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: loved it. Somewhere along the way, the Super Bowl became 207 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 1: a cultural event, a nationally unifying cultural event. Just think 208 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 1: back to a few years ago. You know that people 209 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,599 Speaker 1: they would be a move for Congress to declare the 210 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: day after the Super Bowl of national holiday. Do you 211 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: remember this? Why that wasn't for football fans. It wasn't 212 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: so long ago that couples would gather for the Super 213 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: Bowl to watch the game at Bob and Lindy's or whoever. 214 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: And they would come and they would all bring a dish, 215 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: and the girls would go in the kitchen and chat 216 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: and the men would all be in the living room 217 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: and they they'd have, you know, whatever kind of beers 218 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: you wanted, and maybe they'd made their special dip. And 219 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: everybody was enjoying getting together. In some families, that was 220 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: kind of a reunion everybody to get together and watch 221 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: the game together and had for years. And what was 222 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: coming out of the airways. We did a show one 223 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: year for the first two hours of the morning show 224 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: on it's been a long time, close to twenty years, 225 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: but on the ads, and we went ad by ad 226 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: and what you thought of it? And the ad itself 227 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: was where are we in the cultural zeit guests? Was it? 228 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: You know, let's say Hacky Sack was big that year, wasn't, 229 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: but you know there was an ad with Hacky Sack 230 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: and this was pre AI, but it would be you know, 231 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: who are the faces on there? Old Cab Callaway was 232 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: in an ad? Or Old Bob Hope was in an ad. Oh, 233 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: I'd forgotten about him, or Betty White or Snoop or 234 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: whoever the person was. And you would they would spend 235 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: more on the creative than on the actual placement of 236 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: these ads, which is crazy, because they wanted the ad 237 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: to have a viral life and be talked about, and 238 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: it was like a billboard in Times Square or on 239 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: the Vegas Strip. That ad may be watched one time 240 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: during the Super Bowl, and we would talk about the 241 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: price of the cost they paid, the price they paid 242 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: for one spot in the Super Bowl and how much 243 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: that was. And then people the next day would talk 244 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: about it, and there would be articles about the ads 245 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: that had played, and they would rank the ads and 246 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: there would be one that would be a tear jerker, 247 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: and there would be one that was dedicated to rural voters, 248 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: and we'd be so happy. Oh, we mattered it coming 249 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: after rural votes, right, But that was a uniquely American 250 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: expense experience. Now we'll move to the to what that 251 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: became and why that matters, and then open the phone lines. 252 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: Coming up. The Michael Berry Show is nationwide. When you 253 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: first visit another country, you will often notice that their 254 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: culture is an inch wide and a mile deep. I 255 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: found that to be true in Puerto Rico, in Japan, 256 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: in the Middle East, in Africa. So when you go 257 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: to Puerto Rico, for instance, there are a handful of 258 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: dishes that are primarily eaten and is it fhongo or muffongo? 259 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: Is a muffongo? I forget what it's called. But there 260 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: are dishes that they're very, very proud of, kind of 261 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: the national dish, and everyone eats it, and you talk 262 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: about that dish, and Puerto Ricans in New York or 263 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: Miami or wherever they end up, we'll talk about They're 264 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: going home. I can't wait to eat mom's mufhongo. I 265 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: can't wait to get because that's mother's milk. It's it's 266 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, my mom's turkey and dressing it at Thanksgiving 267 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: And they want to go back to their home and 268 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: eat that dish that they grew up. In Ethiopia, it's 269 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: in Gera, in India, it's the all chravel, it's a 270 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: it's a it's a lentil and rice. Most cultures could 271 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: be couscous most most countries have this thing. I think 272 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: about it. The United States doesn't really have this one thing. 273 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: It might be something in your family, it's something else 274 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: in another family. Now there is in those cultures a 275 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: thing that you cling to. There is the national square. 276 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: Everyone agrees something big happens. You go to the national square. 277 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: There is the article of clothing. There is that sports 278 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: star that launched beyond our country and became big internationally. 279 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: And usually that means in the United States, whether that's 280 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: Pele or Hale selasse A or Imran Khan or whoever 281 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: that is Ronaldo. And so your culture is very strong, 282 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: but very narrow. That's not an insult. That's my description, 283 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: and I think it's a fair one. I think it's accurate. 284 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: And everything that is done reinforces that the concept of diversity, 285 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: as we are told we should embrace in this country, 286 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: is not embraced in other countries. They don't want to 287 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: add to the national dish or the national dress or 288 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: the national song or the national fill in the blank. 289 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: They don't want to. They like that, they're proud of it. 290 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: It's historic, it's tradition, it's comfort, it's mother's milk, right, 291 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: and every country has that, and there's no disagreement what 292 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: it is. They all would say that left right, young 293 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: old Cuba's been singing Jose Martis songs for one hundred years, 294 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: just means different things to different people. The same song, 295 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: same composer. So each of those countries has this very distinct, 296 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: very concentrated culture. The United States doesn't. That's a strength 297 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: and a weakness all balled up in one. But because 298 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: we don't have a nationally unifying culture, sometimes people just 299 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: want to wrap themselves in the American flag and wrap 300 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: themselves in this unique, crazy, quirky culture that is ours. 301 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: This somehow works, we feel connected to it, to our 302 00:19:54,480 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: American ness, and sometimes, ever so often, we just kind 303 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: of want to roll around in our americanness. And to 304 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: the NFL's credit, their big game to crown their champion 305 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: had become that moment, probably more so than any other 306 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: annual event, because of inaugurations, every quater anyal this was 307 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: that I can think of nothing else. Christmas is an 308 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: international holiday. Thanksgivings an American holiday. I guess you could 309 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: argue that, yeah, family gathering together, and that's why Thanksgiving 310 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: came under attack. But this was where kind of our 311 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: pop culture was on was on full display, and we 312 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: would say, you know, kind of who the people were 313 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: that kind of it might be a Martha Stewart or 314 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: a Snoop Dogg or Tony Bennett or whoever that would be. 315 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: And so that's what the super Bowl was, and there 316 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: was talk about it before and after. Where are you going? 317 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: There had to be a party? What are they going 318 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: to serve? That was a big part of it. What 319 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: are the ads that are going to be on? Don't 320 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: talk during the ads? We want to see because that 321 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 1: was Madison Avenue. That was the creative apex. You saved 322 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: your best work, you put all the time and energy 323 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: into this spot. Then it might be Paul Harvey's The Farmer. 324 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: It might be the Clydesdale's Budweiser bringing the Clydesdales back. 325 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: Brands would attach their most legacy American moments. Coca Cola 326 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: might do the I talked, I just I like Tesse 327 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: the world of sing Ad. Those were moments of americanness 328 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: that Americans were proud of. And it wasn't until people 329 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: who resented am America for who and what America is. 330 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: There were always those people, always, there were always the 331 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: people who hated the English for who and what they were. 332 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: But it wasn't until those people started coming here and 333 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: keeping company with people here who themselves had white guilt 334 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: and self loathing and all the things that they decided 335 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: that we shouldn't have uniquely American moments that they felt 336 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: left out. If they weren't Christian, they didn't feel comfortable 337 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: with Christmas, if they didn't have family here, they didn't 338 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: know where to go on Thanksgiving, if they hadn't been 339 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: raised here, they didn't have these moments that we had. 340 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: And so there became this sort of whiny, contentious, nasty, 341 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: ugly desire, and it was all rooted supposedly in there 342 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: were people who came to this country who didn't feel 343 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: as comfortable as they did in their home country because 344 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: we don't speak a bit here, or Spanish, or do 345 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: or Chinese, and they didn't feel comfortable. Well, I don't 346 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: feel comfortable when I go to Japan or Africa, that 347 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: I don't fit in. I stick out like a sore thumb. 348 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: People spots you from a mile away, but I don't 349 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: ask them to change to accommodate me. This concept became vogue. 350 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: The university started preaching in nobody should feel uncomfortable when 351 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: we come here. Well, you can't change something and retain 352 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: what you had if you do it wholesale overnight. And 353 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: that's what we're witnessing. What we're witnessing could have been 354 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: in Arabic last night, and it will be by the way. 355 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: It could have been an Arabic last night. It could 356 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: have been in Chinese, Mandarin or Cantonese. It will be 357 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: by the way. And what you witnessed could have been 358 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: in Hindi, it will be by the way. Or do 359 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: it was that, I think more than anything else. Not 360 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: that it was Spanish, not that whatever he was, whoever 361 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: the guy was, not the things he said. I think 362 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: Americans felt like they didn't have their Thanksgiving. They lost 363 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: a loved one, A piece of them has died, and 364 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: that's okay. Americans get to legitimately feel that way. Have 365 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,719 Speaker 1: you ever seen the situation? Sometimes they'll play it out 366 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 1: in movies. I've seen it played out in real life 367 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 1: where a fellow will be married, wife, kids, kids get 368 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: to be teenagers, they get divorced, he goes off and 369 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: gets married to a much younger woman. Very common or 370 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: a common fact. Better. He gets married to a younger 371 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: woman and they have their own children. The first kids 372 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: are left. It's kind of this feeling of, you know, 373 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 1: we're not dad's only kids anymore, and different people process 374 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: that differently. Some people struggle with it, and oftentimes it 375 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: can be a little difficult to watch because when dad's 376 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: on his first family, he's building the business. He's at 377 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: work all the time. He never makes a little league 378 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: game or a recital, he's rarely there. Doesn't make him 379 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: a bad guy. He's busting his ass to build something 380 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: for this family and provide nice things, which he eventually 381 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: succeeded and did. And then the relationship goes a different 382 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: direction and it gets stale. They get old, and their 383 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: habits are you know, contentious, and so he moves on 384 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:56,479 Speaker 1: and she moves on, and that's hard enough. But then 385 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: he starts over and he gets a bit of a 386 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: do over, and now he's super dad, and now he 387 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: begins realizing, hey, I like this. I like being a 388 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: dad that gets to go to Little League. I like 389 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: coaching Little League. I like hosting the pool party for 390 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: the class. And now he's got money. He didn't have 391 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,239 Speaker 1: that when the first generation of kids were growing up. 392 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: And then they have a family event, whatever that may be. 393 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 1: Maybe Dad's being honored seeing this. Maybe Dad's being honored 394 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: now he's seventy and it feels like pride of place. 395 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: At the head table around him is his new family, 396 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: not the old one. The kids are still his kids, 397 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: but it's like they're almost an awkward appendage from a 398 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: different time that just sort of hung around his new kids. 399 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: He's dedicating this word to his new kids and his 400 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: new wife, and there are the kids who were his kids, 401 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: and they can very naturally legitimate feel left out. There's 402 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: a certain feeling happens a lot, or at his funeral. 403 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: There are a lot of occasions where you see this. 404 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: Christopher Hitchins wrote a book called Hitch twenty two, and 405 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: hitch was very liberal for most of his career. He 406 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: started changing, particularly socially later in his life, and he 407 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: died too early. Died here in Houston. M d Anderson 408 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: throw cancer. But Hitch talked about the neighborhood that he 409 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: grew up in, and he went back to the neighborhood 410 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: and it wasn't guys named Christopher and Ian and Peter 411 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: any longer. It was guy's name Mohammad and Muhammad and 412 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: Muhammad and Muhammad, and the neighborhood had changed. The feel 413 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: of the neighborhood had changed, and it didn't feel safe, 414 00:27:52,440 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: it wasn't clean, it lacked its charm. And he wrote 415 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 1: about the fact that that trend had reached a critical 416 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: mass where it's never going back, and it only gets worse. 417 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: We've seen since that a Muslim mayor of London. We've 418 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: seen policies coming out that were authoritarian. They were not 419 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: from the British tradition, certainly not the English tradition. Things 420 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: have changed and they continue to change. We've seen in 421 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,199 Speaker 1: this country where Minneapolis became Mogadishu and what happens as 422 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: a result, and there is a sea change that occurs, 423 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: and there is a feeling to many Americans that we're 424 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: not welcome here anymore. At a minimum, there is a 425 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: feeling that the way things used to be they're not 426 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: any longer. And I missed the way they used to be, 427 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: and the left is very clever. Rather than arguing that 428 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: we're going to steal your memory, we're going to replace you, 429 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: they make the expression of that very idea No, no, 430 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: they make the experiencing of that very emotion in and 431 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: of itself into something evil. How dare you? How dare 432 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: you resent that you've been replaced in your workplace Disney 433 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: employee who has h one B visa programmers coming here 434 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: who make ten cents on the dollar that you're required 435 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: to teach and train so that you can then be 436 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: let go in three months, and you will do it 437 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: or you won't get your severance? How dare you be 438 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: angry at that? You racist? How dare you be angry 439 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: that your school now no longer has a homecoming football game, 440 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: a great tradition at your school for fifty years, and 441 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: has replaced it with soccer? How dare you? How dare 442 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: you that your local church is no longer a Christian church, 443 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: but is now a mosque, or is now a Buddhist temple, 444 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: or whatever that may be? That services are no longer 445 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: offered in English, but are now in Spanish? How dare you? 446 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: How dare you resent that your little rural community is 447 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: now seventy five percent Hispanic kids, and the white families 448 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: have all moved out, and the classes are taught in Spanish, 449 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: and it feels like you're in a different country. How 450 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: dare you feel that way? What an awful person you are? 451 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: Those are the most natural, authentic, understandable emotions a human 452 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: can feel, a dog can understand when they're being replaced 453 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: and be sad about it. It is incredibly natural, and 454 00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: I would say to you, it is natural to the 455 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: human spirit if you moved into another country. And that's 456 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: basically the argument that the residents of Gaza are making, 457 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: that they were replaced by these people who were brought in. 458 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: They were replaced by the Balfour Compact and the relocation 459 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: of people into land. They feel their own. That's their argument, 460 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: and that they don't belong there anymore. But that's a 461 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: great thing, the fact that they feel that, that's a 462 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: very legitimate argument. We should all understand that argument, be 463 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: sensitive to it because they're from Gaza. So what I 464 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: saw last night was not outreach to Latin America. What 465 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,959 Speaker 1: I saw last night was an NFL and National Foreigners 466 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: League just lost its way. It reminded me of Alyssa 467 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: Hammerscheid's moment at bud Light when Dylan mulvaney paraded around 468 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: like a twelve year old girl at her slumber party, 469 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: and the reaction was anger, backlash, and I don't think 470 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: anybody expected it to that extent. That was bigger than 471 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: bud LIGHTE. I think that was a lot of people saying, 472 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm a straight, white male Christian and I'm tired of 473 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: everything that I hold dear changing and I don't want 474 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: it to change. And guess what, that's okay. We all 475 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: get to have our own emotions, we all get to 476 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: have our own legitimate feelings. Your costs coming up seven 477 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: one three nine nine nine one thousand seven one three 478 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: nine nine nine one thousand, including if you thought it 479 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: was great, I'm happy to hear from you,
