1 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, luck and load. So Michael 2 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: Varry Show is on the air. So just to wrap 3 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: the story in the metro bus story where the woman 4 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: was shot and killed by probably some young gangbanger. I 5 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 1: have no idea what his color, what his skin color is, 6 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: I have no way to know. I know he's a 7 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: male six feet tall, seventeen to twenty years old, wearing 8 00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: a black hoodie and light gray shores, but no idea 9 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: what his skin color may be. A police officer listener 10 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: thirty three years of law enforcement experience call Channel thirteen 11 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: to ask, hey, you left out the most important detail, 12 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: the skin color. That would narrow it down to whether 13 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: he's only part of ten percent of the population or 14 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: a much larger part the other ninety And they said, no, No, 15 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: that would jeopardize the ongoing investigation if we told you 16 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: his skin color. So the investigation continues in earnest and 17 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: once they've apprehended him, then they'll tell the color. But 18 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: if they tell it too early, it'll give it away. 19 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: It'll show that they know some things that we don't know. 20 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: If they know or not, this guy could be anything. 21 00:01:53,160 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: He could be Eskimo could he could he could be Tie, 22 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: he could be Vietnamese. We just don't know. We have 23 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: no idea. It's totally an open question. They're not gonna 24 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: tell us, though they'd like to. They'd like to involve 25 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: us in the investigation. That's why they gave us every 26 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: other detail. They just don't want to tell that one. 27 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: And know everybody's waiting. I wonder what it is. I 28 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: really do. I wonder, I really do, I wonder. And 29 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: it's all by design because we don't want to upset 30 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: you See, you never want to go after the two 31 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine thousand, nine hundred Somalis because that 32 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: might upset the thirty law abiding Somalis. That's the meme 33 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 1: making its way around. You'd never want to upset Muslims 34 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: after nine to eleven by looking for Muslims or pointing 35 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: out this was Muslims, because you will upset those that 36 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 1: weren't there and didn't participate. So we don't want to 37 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: upset anyone else. Jim Norton had a great company bit 38 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:00,079 Speaker 1: on this. 39 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: And the media is the worst. They won't mention race 40 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: during certain suspect descriptions. That's how politically correct we are 41 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 2: as a country. I was reading in the New York 42 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: Daily News the description of a rape suspect, and they 43 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 2: didn't mention the guy's race. Now, once you're caught, I 44 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: don't care what you look like. But if we're still 45 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: looking for you, how about you mention all pertinent information 46 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: so we know who to avoid on the elevator. Not 47 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 2: that I'm the rape target, but I think you understand. 48 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 2: This was the politically correct. 49 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:32,839 Speaker 1: Description they gave. 50 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: They said the young man was in his twenty's, approximately 51 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: five 't nine one hundred and eighty five pounds, and 52 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: was wearing a red sweatshirt. Uh, you want to cut 53 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: the hunt in half? 54 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: Red sweatshirt? Really? 55 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 3: Why would you mention the thing he can change but 56 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 3: not the race, which he can't. What do you think 57 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 3: he's gonna leave the sweatshirt on until the manhunt is 58 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 3: over all his friends of town. 59 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: You might want to take that sweatshirt off. 60 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 2: No, No, I commit all the rapes in this. 61 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: This is my lucky sweatshirt. We made a parody on 62 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: the subject maybe five years ago, the non racial purp description, 63 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: and I'd say it holds up pretty well. 64 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 3: In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by 65 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 3: two separate and equally important groups, the police who investigate crime, 66 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 3: and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. 67 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: These are their stories. 68 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 4: All right, set it down, everyone, set it down now. 69 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 4: I'm positive at the description of a pup that assaulted an. 70 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: Old woman overnight. 71 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 4: This comeback is a black T shirt and cargo shorts. 72 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 4: He's approximately a large, extra large. He has Jordan's and 73 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 4: the Dodger's baseball cap. The Dodger's cap was a skew. 74 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 4: I repeat, the Dodger's cap was a skew. That's an 75 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 4: important identified people. It was running west on fifty third Street, 76 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 4: so concentrates to efforts on fifty third. 77 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: Street, but only west of Maine. 78 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 4: In summary, I want you to be on the lookout 79 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 4: for a running black. 80 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: T shirt on. 81 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 4: Cargo shorts with Jordan's and an askewed Dodger's cap on 82 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 4: fifty third Street west of Maine. Don't waste her time 83 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 4: with anyone walking or sitting. Our purp is a runner 84 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 4: and he likes to run west. Now let's get this 85 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 4: piece of trash off the streets. 86 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: Be careful. 87 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 4: Outside. 88 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: The union representing POPO in Minneapolis, the Minnesota Police and 89 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: Peace Officers Association blasting Tampon, Tim and Jacob Fryar writing irresponsible, 90 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: reckless rhetoric from political leaders attacking law enforcement has real 91 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: and dangerous consequences for officers on the street. When officers 92 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: are vilified, demonized, or used as political props, it fuels hostility, 93 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: emboldens bad actors, and puts lives directly at risk. Think 94 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: about it, is this woman who created this situation who 95 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: is now dead. She did not go there, I suspect 96 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: having killed people before. She's not a gangbanger, she's not rough. 97 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: She's a believer. She's a left wing activist looking for 98 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: as many I guarantee you we will find if you 99 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: dig I guarantee you. She's in therapy, she's in mental 100 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: health counseling. She's had multiple breakdowns, because that's what white 101 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: women do now. White women liberals are mentally unstable. It's 102 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:58,679 Speaker 1: an epidemic. Pure research study, which is widely considered middle 103 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: of the road if not left leaning, to do such things, 104 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: conducted a study a couple of years ago that found 105 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: that forty percent of white women are in mental health counseling. Well, 106 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: you got to figure if you're in mental health counseling, 107 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: you're not cruising along and everything's going well. Why are 108 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: these women so unstable? What is wrong? You see it? 109 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: You see them out in the street, Angry that they 110 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: have a period and we don't, Angry that they menstruate, 111 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: Angry that they're women wearing a hat that is in 112 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: some way a representation of their reproductive and sexual organ 113 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: This is not this is not stable behavior. Angry at 114 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: Donald Trump on a level that is it's really psychotic, 115 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: and they have I've learned how to manipulate these women. 116 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: But there are a number of factors, number of ingredients 117 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: in this recipe. You've got public schools and private schools, 118 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: and media and the counseling institutions. That's who failed this woman. 119 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: She believed she could do this with no consequences. In 120 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: she FAFO and that's unfortunate, but it's going to happen again. 121 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: Put down. Nearly four hundred thousand dollars worth of lobsters 122 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: have been stolen from a shipping facility in Massachusetts. Investigators 123 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: say the thieves posed a posed as a trucking company 124 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: and hauled off the goods. The story from w JARTV 125 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: it not once but twice within the past month. 126 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 5: Multiple loads have been taken from this particular facility. 127 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 6: A massive shipment of lobsters, said to be trucked from 128 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 6: Taunton to various Costco locations across the Midwest, never made 129 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 6: it to their intended destination. Instead, the hall was intercepted 130 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 6: at the Lineage Logistics shipping facility off Constitution Avenue. 131 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 5: Kind of the scenario that happened with this case is 132 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 5: a froster or a criminal was impersonating a legitimate trucking company. 133 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 6: Chris Burrows is the President CEO of the Transportation Intermediaries Association. 134 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 6: He explains, like in the most recent lobster heist, the 135 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 6: scheme is simple. 136 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 5: Whereas a dash and the email address, that was the 137 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 5: only thing that was an addition. Everything else looked exactly the 138 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 5: same to the legitimate company. And then this this individual 139 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 5: came in, took the loads and off they went with it, 140 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 5: and who knows where it ends up. 141 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: He says. 142 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 6: The recent string of seafood thefts is likely linked to 143 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 6: an organized cargo crime ring. 144 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: This is not an isolated case. It's going on throughout 145 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: the country. 146 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 5: I think the latest estimates, you know, broughly thirty to 147 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 5: fifty billion dollars a year annual cost of the supply chain. 148 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 6: So why target perishables for profit? 149 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 5: You know, TVs things like that have serial numbers. Again, 150 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 5: those are targeted as well, but a bit easier to 151 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 5: track obviously. 152 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: You know, Lobster doesn't have a QR code on it. 153 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 5: Lobster, we just have QR code onto, you know, track 154 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 5: it down. 155 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 6: And while the losses are incurred by the seller, in 156 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 6: the end it's the consumers who take the hit, as 157 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 6: those company costs are offset by products being priced higher 158 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 6: at the store. 159 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: There was the story of in I don't know, September 160 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: October maybe maybe October, of the restaurant in Midtown where 161 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: they were receiving their morning deliveries. And during a time 162 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: like that, a restaurant doesn't look like it looks when 163 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: you go in as a customer. The staff is you know, 164 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: the deliveries are all coming in the morning so they 165 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: don't disrupt the operations. And so you got your produce coming, 166 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: your drink's coming, your meat's coming, and various folks and 167 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: that the chef is arguing with him because he wants 168 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: people to come at a certain time and they never 169 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: arrive at the right time, and so it messes things 170 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: up and he says, I'm not going to take you, 171 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: and I'm not going to pay for it. It's just it's 172 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: the battle of a kitchen. It goes on at every restaurant, 173 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: it has since the beginning of time. And chefs are 174 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: very artistic and these companies are you know, it's like 175 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: you sitting around and they give you a four hour 176 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: window of when the cable company will arrive. It's just 177 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: it's a daily battle. And so it's kind of a 178 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: little bit chaotic, and everybody's hungover and so they're all 179 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: drinking their coffee and saying, don't bother with me, don't 180 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: bother me till I've had my second cup of coffee. 181 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: So there's kind of a grumpy mood and on. So anyway, 182 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: so old boy comes in and I don't know if 183 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: he's in a cisco or glazier or what what what 184 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: uniform he's in, but he's kind of loosely resembling a 185 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: delivery guy. Walks in the back. The door's wide open 186 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: because the deliveries are coming in and out. Nobody's going 187 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: to steal anything at this hour. It's you know, mid morning, 188 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: they're not even open yet, and that'd be weird and anyway, 189 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: but he does. He walks in and he grabs a 190 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: thirty forty pounds of shrimp and goes out the door 191 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: and starts down the street. Somebody kind of notices it 192 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: and the every man should be bringing shrimp in, not 193 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: taking shrimp out, and so someone tells the owner of 194 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 1: the restaurant. So we read the story and the restaurants 195 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: called Winnies is a thirty six twenty two Maine. It's 196 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: in midtown, and come to find out, Graham Laboard, the 197 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: owner of the place, is friends mutual friends with a 198 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: number of people we know, like Morgan Weber that has 199 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: Cultivari and eight Row Flint and Easy's and all sorts 200 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: of other concepts. Good friend of mine. So anyway, we 201 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: tracked the guy down, we had him on and we 202 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: enjoyed the conversation. And so my wife and I used 203 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: to live a few blocks from there, as I mentioned earlier, 204 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: and we had finished an event on the northwest side 205 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: of some family members and it was a near northwest 206 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: and it was too early for well no, actually they 207 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: hadn't served dinner, it was just a cocktail party. So 208 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: we left there. We were both hunger and I said, oh, 209 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: let's go to this place, Winnies. And we very rarely 210 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: try new restaurants because I'm old and sort of set 211 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: in my ways and I don't want to have a 212 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: bad experience. So this was a big deal. We're going 213 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: to try a new restaurant. So it's at this place 214 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 1: called Whinnies. And we haven't driven into Midtown or downtown 215 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: in a while, other than going to a ball game. 216 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: I don't go into downtown, which is odd because I 217 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: worked at a downtown law firm, and I worked at 218 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: city Hall downtown, and she worked for over twenty years 219 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: at law firms downtown, and so we never thought we 220 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: wouldn't go into downtown. Now we never go into downtown. 221 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: So we go down to Winnies in Midtown, on the 222 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: south end of Midtown, and we park and start walking in, 223 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: and we realize the whole world of Midtown has changed 224 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: without us even knowing it in all the time that 225 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: we don't go there anymore. There is a whole new scene, 226 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: there's a whole new crop of restaurants. There's a whole 227 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 1: new hot concept, and you know, it's kind of like 228 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 1: hot Wings. I don't know where hot Wings came from. 229 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, Nashville hot wings were the 230 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: big thing, and there's one on every corner, and Crockett's going, hey, hey, 231 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: you know, hey, Crockett, what do you want to eat? 232 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: You get to pick today hot wings? What the hell 233 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: is that? No idea what that is? And so there 234 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: we are. Anyway, so there's all these new places. So 235 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: we go to winniess So I text him. I kept 236 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: his number. I text him. I said, hey, can my 237 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: wife and I are coming down. It's say nine o'clock, 238 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: maybe eight thirty nine o'clock. Can we can we get 239 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: a table? Or no? Can we just get a seat 240 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: at the bar. So the point was I was being 241 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: as unobtrusive as I could, because a seat at the 242 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: bar you can ask for stuff right there. We've gotten 243 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: to where we like to sit at the bar because 244 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: you don't need reservations. Usually you get in and get 245 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: out and you don't have to wait on a waiter 246 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: because whatever you need ask the guy right there. And 247 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: he comes back in about five minutes. He says, the 248 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: bar is jammed, but I can give you a table, 249 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: and I give you a table out of the way. 250 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: Well he must have that we were outside his demo 251 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: because we sit down and my wife said, for the 252 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: first time in my life, I feel old because this 253 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: was a bar. This wasn't a bar for college kids. 254 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: This was a bar for late twenties, investment bankers, marketing directors, 255 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: single people. You know, four girls to meet up and 256 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: then there's three guys down there well to do driving 257 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: BMW's thirty years old, twenty eight years old, and for 258 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: the first time ever, we weren't in that crowd. We 259 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: were the old married couple. Food was fantastic, environment was fantastic, 260 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: staff was fantastic. We had a great experience. But it's 261 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: one of those moments where I'm not eighty, but I'm 262 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: not thirty either, and you felt it cool concept and 263 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: we'll go back, But yeah, we felt old. It's called Winnies, 264 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: midtempen lifeless black eyes. It's like a doll's in case 265 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: I was trying to remember. South of Houston was Nassau Bay, 266 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: where a thug named Tavoris Henderson who's now been sentenced 267 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: to fifty eight years in prison, ran over Nassau Bay 268 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: Police Sergeant Kayla Sullivan. She didn't go home to her 269 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: family because he chose to use his vehicle as a 270 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: weapon to run her over. A vehicle can be a very, 271 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: very dangerous weapon. Kills people happens all the time, and 272 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: an officer should not have to wait to be seriously 273 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: injured or killed to be able to defend themselves. That 274 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: makes no sense. Officer Richard Keith Martin. On May eighteenth, 275 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, HPD officer a vehicular assault in the nine 276 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: hundred block of North Kirkwood about three am. His final 277 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: resting places climbed Memorial Park. It was only forty seven 278 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 1: years old. He'd be fifty seven today, just about my age. 279 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: He was intentionally struck and killed by a vehicle as 280 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: he was setting up spike strips at the intersection of 281 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: North Kirkwood and Saint Mary's Lane during a vehicle pursuit. 282 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: At approximately two thirty am. Officers from the HPD were 283 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: pursuing the U haul van after it had been carjacked 284 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: in North Houston. The driver of the vehicle fired several 285 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: shots at officers during the pursuit before bailing out, carjacking 286 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: a second vehicle fleeing again. Officer Martin was in the 287 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: process of deploying spike strips when the driver intentionally struck 288 00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: him with the stolen vehicle. Vehicle continued to flee until 289 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: stopping on the forty five North Freeway. The suspect attempted 290 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: to commit suicide by shooting himself as officers initiated feloning 291 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: traffic stop. If a fellow is trying to kill himself 292 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 1: and he's just killed cops, I say, hey, hold on, 293 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: discretion is the better part of valor. Let's give him 294 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: a minute, and said, let's not take away his agency. 295 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: Let's give him the opportunity to do what he thinks 296 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: he needs to do. Now, if he turns the gun on, 297 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: you go ahead and blast him. But if he's going 298 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: to do us all the favor of killing himself, I'm 299 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: all for that. Former University of Texas Longhorned Star wide 300 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: receiver Jordan Shipley, as you know, was burned in a 301 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: bad acxigen accident on his ranch, and his sister has 302 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: posted a video of him giving the thumbs up from 303 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: his hospital bed with his arms and hands bandaged up. 304 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: She said that he whispered to them, God's not done 305 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: with me yet. I have been told by people who 306 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: know him that he is a farming ranch broker out 307 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: in that part of the state and that he was 308 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: working on his ranch. I think it's out somewhere outside 309 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: of Austin, but yes, our prayers for Jordan Shipley should 310 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: be an interesting story to watch from the college football world. 311 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: A few days ago, University of Washington quarterback Demand Williams 312 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: Junior signed a new NIL deal to return next year 313 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: to the University of Washington, or so it was reported, 314 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: and then he announced a couple days later he's entering 315 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 1: the transfer portal. Now. Washington has vowed quote to pursue 316 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: legal avenues end quote because they say he signed quote 317 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: a legally binding revenue share contract with the school. Yahoo's 318 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: Sports says it's not clear what sparked Williams's decision to 319 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: transfer and walk away from a deal that ESPN reported 320 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: was near the top of the market, but CBS Sports 321 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 1: reported Tuesday night that Lane Kiffen and LSU are expected 322 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: to pursue Williams in the nascent world of NIL. It's 323 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: also not clear what legal standing Washington has to enforce 324 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: the original agreement and whether the pursuit will be worthwhile 325 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: with a player who doesn't want to be there. Wherever 326 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: Williams plays next season, he'll do so as one of 327 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: the top quarterbacks in the country. In thirteen games last season, 328 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: he completed sixty nine point five percent of his passes 329 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: for three thousand sixty five yards with twenty five touchdowns 330 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: and eight interceptions for a Washington team that finished nine 331 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: to four and in seventh in the Big Ten. I 332 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: had heard that Lane Kiffin was trying to bring Trinidad Chambliss, 333 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: who is presumed to be able to get one more 334 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: year of eligibility because of the way his career has 335 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: worked out, to LSU. And the rumor is that Pete Golden, 336 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: who people think I look like and I don't see it, 337 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 1: said if you want to play in the next round 338 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: of the playoffs, then you commit. Now, if you want 339 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: to go to LSU, you're not playing in the next game. Now. 340 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: I think Chambliss could have played chicken in one if 341 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: he said, I don't know what I'm going to do, 342 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: but if you don't want me, who's one of the 343 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: hottest players in the playoffs, to be your starting quarterback, 344 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: you explain that to the Rebel nation. You do that. 345 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: But he didn't. He didn't, So what did Lane kiffn do? 346 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: Put the thumbs up with the Mississippi flag, which I 347 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: guess was some sort of slight toward them. I will 348 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: say this. I know I won't win any friends by 349 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: saying it, but it's the truth, and at some point 350 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: there should be some respect given for the fact that 351 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm telling you the truth in when I don't think 352 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: you're going to want to hear it. Number One, the 353 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: ratings are the highest they've been since nineteen ninety eight 354 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: for following college football. That report just came out. More 355 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,479 Speaker 1: people are watching college football than ever before. I had 356 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: dinner with Eddie Martini last night and he said, I 357 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: just don't like it because players don't have any affinity 358 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: for the school, to which I said, you think Eric 359 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 1: Dickerson had any affinity for A and M when he 360 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: went to SMU. You think he went to SMU because 361 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: he really wanted that Methodist education? Do you think he 362 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: went to SMU because he went to SMU because they 363 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: paid more? There been schools paying players for a very 364 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: long time in one way or another. Well, money has 365 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: I hear These are the things I hear. Well, money 366 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: has corrupted the game. Nick Saban was getting paid more 367 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 1: than any coach in the country. If he's the best 368 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: and he commands the most money. How is that not 369 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: a disparity between other schools that can't afford that kind 370 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,959 Speaker 1: of coach? What about playing facilities? The donors have been 371 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: given money to have a winner for a long time. 372 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: They just gave money to the stadium, They gave money 373 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: to the workout facilities, They gave money to the coach. Right, 374 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: the money has quote unquote corrupted the game? Does money 375 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: corrupt your workplace? Do you work there for free? Do 376 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: you want more than you do? Did you come to 377 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: the job you're in right now because they paid you 378 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: more than the last one. Did you leave the job 379 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: over there where you really like the people because you 380 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: got paid more? I thought we believed in capitalism. Oh no, 381 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: these kids need to go there and really love the university. 382 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: Their daddy didn't go to the school and their granddad 383 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 1: before it. They're not third generation SIGAP. They have no 384 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: connection to the school. They're poor black kids from the 385 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: inner city who play ball well and want to make 386 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: it to the NFL. Can you blame them? Is is 387 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: there anything wrong with that? Well? The transfer portal they 388 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: keep moving. Yes, that means the best players are on 389 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 1: the yield playing for the dude, look at Look at Indiana, 390 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: Look at Tech. Look how well A and M did. 391 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: This was a great year of college football, big league 392 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: ball players. There, Tucky Michael Berry A forty days till 393 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: early voting begins in the Texas Republican Party primaries, the 394 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: Democrat primaries as well. Forty days and then fourteen days later, 395 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: fifty four days from today will be election day. Most 396 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: of us, or most of you, probably don't even know 397 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 1: who's running yet, And there's nothing wrong with that. Primaries 398 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: are a funny thing because the way they were is 399 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: in a down ballot race, which means not the top 400 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: of the ballot, not the president per se, or even 401 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: the governor. You've got a filing toward the end of 402 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: the year calendar year. But I don't know about you. 403 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: I every year wake up when we start back to 404 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: work after the Christmas holiday, whether that's January first, or 405 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 1: you know, January seventh, whatever that is that year, and 406 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: I wake up, show up to work on that day 407 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: and start playing catchup. Oh my goodness, what did I 408 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: put off? Because back in November someone said, hey, we 409 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: should work on and you say, yes, I got a 410 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: lot going on. Let me get through the holidays. Let's 411 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: push that to January. So you do push everything to January. However, 412 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: all the new stuff gets pushed, but now the old 413 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: stuff because you've been away for a while, your messages 414 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: haven't been read, your projects need updating. Some folks fired 415 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,479 Speaker 1: up and they got new stuff coming at you. You've 416 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 1: got inter yew reports, you got to start thinking about taxes, 417 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: pulling the other you documents. So there's this sort of 418 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: lost period of time where you put blinders on because 419 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: you had to buy presents and you had to attend 420 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: parties and you had to do this, and you had 421 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: to do this, and you had to if you traveled, 422 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: and then you disconnected. So now you're starting back having disconnected, 423 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: you're starting back on uh, you know, on your life, 424 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: and so you're a little sluggish because you're getting back 425 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: in the routine. So those first two weeks of January 426 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: are almost written off. So if you're a candidate, you're 427 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: sort of of trying to get the public's attention, voting 428 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: public's attention, but it's very hard because they might not 429 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: even be in town. If they are, they got a 430 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: lot going on. And then we wake up and we 431 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 1: race to the finish on the primary, and a lot 432 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: of people just choose I don't know, I can't, well, 433 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: I just voted because you did just vote. You just 434 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: voted when they started campaigning in the fall, where a 435 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: lot of people are not paying attention. It's been less 436 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: than a year since you voted for president, and that 437 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: took everything you had. So now you've woken up a year. 438 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: And by the way, it's been way less than a 439 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: year since the new president has taken office, and then 440 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: there's his first one hundred days. So why am I 441 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: having to think about an election when the president still 442 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: we just finished an election, even though it's an every 443 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: two year election. And that is because the more important 444 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 1: election in Texas anyway is in March, in the primary. 445 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 1: So then a lot of people that don't vote in 446 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: primaries but make care what's going on. They watch Fox 447 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: every day, they listen to out radio every day, but 448 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: they're not primary voters. They don't understand why it's important. 449 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: They just want to beat to Democrats. And this is 450 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: what the establishment hopes for. They want to keep you vote, 451 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: they want to keep you focused on. We just got 452 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: to beat to Democrats. Not sure why, because we're going 453 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: to act just like them, because that's what the establishment 454 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: candidates are going to do. There's not a dimes worth 455 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: of difference between Corning and a Democrat. Oh, he'll make 456 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: a speech, he'll say things, he'll promise things, he'll you know, 457 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: when it's election time like this, he'll come out and 458 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: say things that he's never said before that are contrary 459 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: to everything else he said. But he's counting on the 460 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: low information voter and yes, we have him at our party. 461 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: He's counting on the fact that they won't know the difference. 462 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: They won't know what he said and done in the past. 463 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: They won't know that he told Donald He said to 464 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: a press gaggle that he called but like they called 465 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: him off off guard. He called a press conference to 466 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: say that Donald Trump should not run for president. Last year, 467 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: that the nation needs to move on beyond him. Now, 468 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: you'd think that he and Donald Trump were best friends. 469 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: Trump cannot stand him. But Trump's problem is that if 470 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: Trump comes out against him today, Trump would endorse Hunt 471 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: and or Paxton. He'd rather either one of them than 472 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,959 Speaker 1: Cornyn for Trump's last two years as president. But if 473 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: he does that, then he leaves Cornyn no room to 474 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: maneuver and Cornyn becomes just like Mitch McConnell, a reliable 475 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: vote for the Democrats. And imagine that Kentucky one of 476 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: the most conservative state, it's one of the reddest states. 477 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: And now you've got you've got their senator, former Republican 478 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: majority leader, working against Trump at every turn. So this 479 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: becomes a very important time. And if I can tell you, 480 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: if I can, if I can, I was gonna say admonished. 481 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: Admonish not the word. If I can coax you to 482 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: do one thing, it is to vote in the Republican primary. 483 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: Because so few people vote in the Republican primary that 484 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: every vote takes on a greater weight than in the 485 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: general election. I'm not going to say your vote's not 486 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: important in the general election, but there are plenty of 487 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: other people that will show up in the general election 488 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: because they have a good, healthy fear of the Democrats. 489 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: And that's fine. I'm all for that. I'm ready to 490 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: stoke that. But the Republican Party sort of like when 491 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: you go to the football game and you root for 492 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: your team to win against the other team, but sometimes 493 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: you notice our team is not not very good. Well, 494 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: there's better players on the bench, but the coach doesn't 495 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: like them. Well, yeah, we want our team to beat 496 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: their team. But before our team can beat their team, 497 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: we have to decide who's going to be on our team. 498 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: The choice of who's going to be on our team 499 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: for too long was decided by the establishment. These are 500 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: scary times for the establishment, make no mistake about that. 501 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen and Jeb Bush getting dugged the way he 502 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: did that was a real, real, horrifying wake up call 503 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: for Karl Rove and his crew. For the billionaires who 504 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: just want the government to continue the way it is. 505 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: They don't like all these changes. They don't like Trump, 506 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: they don't like disruption. They want things to go along 507 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: the way they always were. We'll do our forever wars, 508 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham can lather up over that. We'll send money 509 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: to Ukraine, kick some of it back to us. We'll 510 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: have our positions in the Middle East, we'll have a 511 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and we'll make some money 512 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: off that. They don't like that. So you have a 513 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: huge opportunity in this upcoming primary. You have an opportunity 514 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: to oust a sitting senator who is a rhino establishment 515 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: Trump backstabber in John cornet. You've heard from Wesley Hunt earlier, 516 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: and you'll hear from the Attorney General Ken Paxton coming 517 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: up
