You're damn right, because you. 8 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 5: Are going home. 9 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 6: We have seen one estimate that says it would cost 10 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 6: eighty eight billion dollars to deport a million people a year. 11 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's accurate or not. 12 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 5: Is that what American taxpayers should expect? 13 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: What price do you put on a national security? Is 14 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: that worth it? 15 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 5: Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without 16 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 5: separating families? 17 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 4: Of course, families can be deported together. 18 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: And I want to send a message to everybody who's 19 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: in this country illegally. While you've heard from Kamala Harris 20 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: that she's going to give you free Medicare benefits and 21 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: free healthcare benefits, She's going to give you free housing 22 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: benefits paid for by American taxpayers. 23 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 7: Donald Trump's gonna win the White House. 24 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 2: We all believe that, right. 25 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: So our message to illegal aliens who are in this 26 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: country without the consent of the American people. Is you 27 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: got four months pack your bags because you're going home. 28 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 6: So the Houston food scene is all a buzz because 29 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 6: Michelin finally decided to go down to this swampy by 30 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 6: you town and bestow a few awards on the peasants you. 31 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 6: He'll Billy Hayseeds, We'll give some one star Michelin ratings. 32 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 6: Now that y'all got air conditioning figured out, we'll come 33 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 6: down and bless you with a couple of awards. And 34 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 6: I must tell you, I think it's much ado about 35 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 6: nothing pretentious bs. However, our friend Grant Pinkerton won an award, 36 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 6: and we like Grant Pinkerton, and. 37 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 7: We like the idea. 38 00:02:52,520 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 6: Of barbecue being elevated to the same category as French Continental. 39 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 7: Because that's kind of. 40 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 6: More our populous belief anyway, And the fact that Grant 41 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 6: is being recognized for his hard work and talent and 42 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 6: accomplishment makes us very happy. Now back to how silly 43 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 6: these awards are for everybody else. So Ramona and I 44 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 6: were talking about the fact that the truth is most 45 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 6: of these restaurants that they're giving these awards to will 46 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 6: not be around in two years because they don't give 47 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 6: awards to restaurants that are established for a long period 48 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 6: of time and deliver on a quality meal, night in, 49 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 6: night out. 50 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 7: They don't do it. 51 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 6: The way you get these awards. And there's something interesting 52 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 6: about accreditation. Trump was talking about the problem with the 53 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 6: universities and how he's going to fix it because people 54 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 6: tell you can't fix it, You can't fix it. Yeah, 55 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 6: figured it out. He's a businessman. He's going to find 56 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 6: a way around it. He's going to find a loophole. 57 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 6: He's going to find some way in a cracker crevice. 58 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 6: The universities have an accreditation process, an ongoing accreditation process. 59 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 6: The problem is the accreditors are liberal. This is what 60 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 6: the Marxist communists understand. They understand how you bring about 61 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 6: the most change with the least number of people. So 62 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 6: when the accreditors go to the universities and say how 63 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 6: many gender studies programs do you have? Well, none, you're 64 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 6: going to lose your accreditation. Oh how many do we 65 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 6: need to have? Right A hat tip to uh Texas 66 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 6: A and M University. Their board decided last week to 67 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 6: do away with I think it's fifty two majors including 68 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 6: LGBTQ and fifteen more letters gender studies and all of 69 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 6: this nonsense. What you're seeing is people seeing the writing 70 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 6: on the wall. Texas A and M says, look, when 71 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 6: the hammer comes down on these gender studies programs, we 72 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 6: don't want to be on a list that shows that 73 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 6: we have one. By the way, credit to the board 74 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 6: for killing those programs. Credit to the board for telling 75 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 6: the faculty who, through their Senate pitch to fit. Credit 76 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 6: to the board for saying, you don't own this damn university. 77 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 2: We do. 78 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 7: The taxpayers. 79 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: Do you. 80 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 6: Faculty members are an expense, an operational expense, and every 81 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 6: single one of you can be fired immediately. 82 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 7: Now sit down. It s got up. Teach the class 83 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 7: and stop crying, and stop painting your hair blue. 84 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 6: You wear those You've got a systemic problem in higher 85 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 6: education and the infection. Hopefully, I'll tell you what. I 86 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 6: don't know if Michael Plank's still on the board. I 87 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 6: don't know if Beaver Applin is still on the board. 88 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 6: I don't know if my old friend John White was 89 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 6: on the board there. Ross Margraves, I've known some good 90 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 6: people serve on that Aggie board over the years. And 91 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 6: I will tell you they are not the kind of 92 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 6: people who would tolerate this nonsense. We're talking about Texas 93 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 6: A and M University. Look, I love the University of Texas, 94 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 6: but we all know that while it's got the history, 95 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 6: and it's got the heritage, and it's got the big 96 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 6: money and the big corporations and the big names and 97 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 6: the Texas history, we've all known that it's also got 98 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 6: the little brother who crossed dresses right all known, and 99 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 6: it's got some dirt under its nails that you don't 100 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 6: want to walk on Guadaloupe too long with your four 101 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 6: year old kid because you might see something We've just 102 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 6: always kind of thought, well, you know, and the little Bohemian, 103 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 6: you know, it's still I mean, the University Texas a 104 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 6: little Bahaemian. 105 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 7: It's okay though, it's little funky, right. 106 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 6: We got some we got some Jim High Tower with 107 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 6: our conservatism, but Texas A and M. 108 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 7: Man. 109 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 6: When Texas A and M falls, you got real problems. 110 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 6: So anyway, what I was gonna say is this once so, 111 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 6: the kind of people who pick a Michelin Star, the 112 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 6: kind of people who give these awards, are the kind 113 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 6: of people who say Hey, we want a bunch of 114 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 6: the latest thing is the transgender stuff. 115 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 7: We don't want you to serve regular food.

This is 121 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 6: going to be a Houston version of an La this 122 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 6: and it's it's just a little La light because people 123 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 6: in Houston so desperately want to be told you're okay, 124 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,119 Speaker 6: You're as good as La in New York. So Ramona 125 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 6: and I were talking about he said, I'll go eat 126 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 6: it Pinkerton's, but what I'd really like is a potato 127 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 6: salad sandwich like my mom makes. And we start talking 128 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 6: about Michael Berry Show awards. That are the opposite kind 129 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 6: of the anti Micheline awards, and that is a food 130 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 6: that you eat and love, that is the opposite of 131 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 6: high brow.

For Ramone, 133 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 6: it's a potato salad sandwich. By the way, is there 134 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 6: anywhere in town that makes a potato salad sandwich like 135 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 6: Mama Martha, all right, your phone on, I want your 136 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 6: low brow food that you love. Seven one three, nine, nine, nine, 137 00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 6: one thousand chance to claim reports onto the subject line 138 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 6: odd capitalization by President Trump. This is not necessarily for 139 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 6: the show, but something that I know you'll find interesting. 140 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 6: Have you ever noticed how President Trump seems to randomly 141 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 6: capitalize words in his social media posts. This is his 142 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 6: most recent post, and he's put the post below. I've 143 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 6: noticed it before, and it's often much more distinct, particularly 144 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,599 Speaker 6: on truth. Truth is the alternative to Twitter or x. 145 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 6: Now that Trump has a percentage interest in that, he's 146 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,719 Speaker 6: going to get rich over, they're going to sell that 147 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 6: and it's going to be billions. Anyway, I saw that 148 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 6: clip a few days ago from a documentary about the campaign. 149 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 6: I'm sure you saw it, where he dictates his thoughts 150 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 6: and tells his assistance to post them. That means they 151 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 6: have some set of instructions on how and what to capitalize. 152 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 6: I went and looked at our founding documents and it 153 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 6: turns out out that only capitalizing proper nouns is a 154 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 6: newish behavior. Back then, with important documents, they would selectively 155 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 6: use capitalizations to shift attention to keywords and phrases, like 156 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 6: there is a hierarchy that seems to go all caps 157 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 6: is better than front caps. 158 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 7: Oh, all caps. 159 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 6: He put in all caps, and then front caps, which 160 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 6: is the first letter of the word, and then first cap, 161 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 6: which is the first letter of first and then not 162 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 6: cap and then no caps. 163 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 164 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 6: I've been on this Thomas Jefferson kick lately, and it's 165 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 6: fascinating when you study the history of English goes through this, 166 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 6: when you study that the Declaration of Independence that we 167 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 6: read today is not the exact letters that were used 168 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 6: because of the f's as vs. 169 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 7: And there are a lot of they didn't. 170 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 6: Use the same letters we use in the same patterns 171 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 6: that we use them today, or to reflect the same 172 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 6: sounds that we do today.

Aunt Tijuana says the only way to make 464 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 6: tuna salad proper is to use both sweet relish and 465 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 6: deal relish, which I disagree with. I prefer only the 466 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 6: sweet relish for a tuna salad. Now, let me go 467 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 6: back and read Mama Martha's comment again.

Well then, so we we're 543 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 6: close to figuring it out. And he had hypo hypo calcima. Basically, 544 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 6: he had elevated calcium in his body. And the number 545 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 6: was like fourteen or it was a crazy number and 546 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 6: it's not supposed to be. That's over two times what 547 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 6: it's supposed to be. So or time and a halfway 548 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 6: is specially anyway. So they put him on some drugs 549 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 6: and he starts getting better and something happens. I forget 550 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 6: what all the combination and cocktail of these drugs was, 551 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 6: but now he's low on. 552 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 7: Sugar, I mean on salt. 553 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 6: Well, a little background here, mister Martha. When I was little, 554 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 6: my grandfather, Monroe P. Seber, was a big, burly man 555 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 6: and he was a great cook. But he salted everything 556 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 6: and he ate very spicy foods. And when he got 557 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 6: the high blood, the doctor said you have to cut salt. 558 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 6: And he came home and he was in an absolute stupor. 559 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 7: He was depressed. How am I going to live without salt? 560 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 7: He loved salt. 561 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 6: And I was about eight or nine years old, and 562 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 6: I remember making the decision, little nerdy weirdo that I was, 563 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 6: I said, if I don't learn to love salt, and 564 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 6: I cut all the salt out of my diet at 565 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 6: eight years old, then when I'm seventy two, like Papa, 566 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 6: I won't have to cut the salt out, right. So 567 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 6: I decided I wouldn't eat salt. And I have always 568 00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 6: been very mindful because I grew up around big people, 569 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 6: all of whom had the high blood, and they would 570 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 6: the doctors would take them off of the salt. So 571 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 6: Uncle Jerry and I went for a meal the other 572 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 6: day at Cafe Piquette, little Cuban restaurant we eat, and 573 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 6: he puts so much salt on his food, and I said, Jerry, 574 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 6: what are you doing? You can't He said, no, I 575 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 6: can't get enough salt in me. I'm having to drink gatorade. 576 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 7: And and it was just, I don't know when you 577 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 7: were growing up if y'all salted things, but people have removed. 578 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 7: Like I grew up eating food that was heavily heavily salted. 579 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 7: People just don't do that anymore, right, right, And I'm 580 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 7: missed you. 581 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 6: And my wife being from Indian Ama, Martha, the first 582 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 6: time I ate with her family, she didn't appreciate this, 583 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 6: but I described it as eating sweat because Indians in 584 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 6: Indiana put so much salt on their food. 585 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 7: And I didn't. 586 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 6: I wasn't used to that in our in our family, 587 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 6: we didn't eat that amount of salt, even though our 588 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 6: family were for salt use. But I went through a 589 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 6: large part of my life like I still to this day, 590 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 6: I don't put salt on anything. I'm still conscientious of that. 591 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 7: Now I wear some black pepper out right. Was there 592 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 7: anything else you wanted to share? 593 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 5: Uh? 594 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 9: No, But usually I don't salt everything. But usually I'll 595 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 9: do just the potatoes out as the salt in it, 596 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 9: I guess because the potatoes are so bland. 597 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 2: Yeah,
