But we lost to very wonderful people in 63 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: the last few days. Last Friday night, at eight thirty 64 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 2: four pm, my favorite professor, Lawrence Curry passed. His son 65 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 2: Ted and I have gotten to be friends over the 66 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 2: years because we shared a love for his father. His dad, 67 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: Lawrence Curry was a professor at the University of Houston, 68 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 2: not for very long, just fifty four years. He turned 69 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 2: ninety one on wedness, so he was just four days 70 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: or so, five days from his ninety first birthday. He 71 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: was an old school teacher in the way that faculty 72 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 2: members are largely and mostly not anymore. He was a 73 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 2: tenured professor, but he wasn't trying to get grants. He 74 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 2: wasn't playing the game. They ended up making him, I think, 75 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: the associate dean of the Liberal Arts College at one point. 76 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 2: But he was just admired and revered as a teacher, 77 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: a person who actually taught classes. And he taught classes. 78 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: He didn't have one class and then a sabbatical one 79 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: class that took every class. He had American History forty 80 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 2: five to sixty, American History sixty to present, Civil War history. 81 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 2: And he was just so good to me. I applied 82 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: for a Truman scholarship. I didn't get it, but he 83 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 2: helped me with my application, helped me put together all 84 00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 2: my documents, and just a mentor to me. Wonderful, wonderful man. 85 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: And I kept up with him. I graduated college in 86 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 2: ninety three, but I kept up with him up until 87 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 2: he died. Went and visited him in the old Folks 88 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: Home and had dinner with him and Patricia, And the 89 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 2: funny thing is is a screaming mad liberal, not an 90 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 2: angry liberal, not a crazy liberal, but an old school 91 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 2: liberal democrat, kind of the gym high tower kind of liberal, 92 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 2: sort of a progressive populist. And I would talk about 93 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: him on the air and friends of his who were 94 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 2: on faculty at the University of Houston say, I heard 95 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 2: Michael Berry talk about you. He must not know your politics, 96 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 2: and he said, no, that's the beauty. He knows mine 97 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: and I know his, and we still love each other. 98 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't we Anyway, Professor Lawrence Gray was a teacher's teacher, 99 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: and I am the better because of it. I learned 100 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 2: a lot of history from him. But more importantly, what 101 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 2: did Keiths say, Ramone, education is not Education is not 102 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 2: filling a bucket. It's lighting a fire. And there's this 103 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 2: idea that you get a college degree or a high 104 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 2: school diploma or whatever it is, and now you've learned everything, 105 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 2: and then people are always disappointed. I didn't learn that 106 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 2: I went to college. I didn't learn that college is 107 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: not filling a bucket. It is lighting a fire. It 108 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 2: is a lifelong love of learning. And when you meet 109 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: people it's like people who are serial entrepreneurs. When you 110 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: meet people who love to learn and are always learning 111 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: new things, those people are happy people. They're not grumpy people. 112 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: When you meet someone who says, I don't want to 113 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: meet anybody who I don't want to watch a new movie, 114 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: I don't want to read a new book, I want 115 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: to see a new program, I want to hear a 116 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 2: new song, and none of it's interesting.

If you 171 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 2: took sixty two and turn left, you'd be going north 172 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: up East Texas and you'd go up all of our 173 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 2: rivals Buna, Newton, Kirbyville, Holidays at a Warren, all that, 174 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 2: and you could go up East Texas a the way 175 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 2: we used to go to visit my family and Tyler. Anyway, 176 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: you stay on ten if you were to exit just 177 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 2: past there. Now they've changed the exits now. But if 178 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 2: you were to exit just but they didn't have all 179 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 2: that cool stuff. When I was growing up, there was 180 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 2: just a Love's truck stop and you could get baloney 181 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 2: sandwich is about all they had. But now now they 182 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 2: got a water bird, they got all. They got a 183 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 2: waffle house. Oh man, we could have ridden their bike 184 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 2: something had so much cool stuff. We didn't have any money, 185 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 2: but we could have ridden up there and washed the 186 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 2: dishes for to get to eat there, which is what 187 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: we would have done. But anyway, if you were to 188 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 2: exit right there, and I forget where the exit is 189 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 2: on your right, there's a development right there. In my childhood, 190 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 2: doctor Marty Rutledge developed it and it's about I don't 191 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 2: know eight or ten homes, however, minute it's built after 192 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 2: I left, and then just past that next to it, 193 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 2: east of that is a Mueller still building facility. And 194 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 2: then just past that where the road starts to curve 195 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 2: off to the left, it tend starts to curve off 196 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 2: to the left, or if you go right, you go 197 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: into Orange. You know, you got off the feeder. There's 198 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: a little in an island dropped there. There's a little 199 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 2: barbecue joint, or was forever called JB's Barbecue. And it 200 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 2: was an institution. And JB would get up and go 201 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 2: in every morning at four o'clock and fire the pits 202 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 2: up and get them going, get them and he'd put 203 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 2: the ribs on and put the brisket on. And that 204 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 2: was every day. And he did that for a decade. 205 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 2: He did that for longer than I've been alive. And 206 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: he shut it down a few years ago, three four 207 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 2: years ago. And he said the reason was he just 208 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 2: he couldn't. They said, well, do you not want to 209 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 2: get up at three thirty and be there at four anymore? 210 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: And he said, no, I still get up at that time. 211 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 2: I just I don't want to start work that early anymore. 212 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 2: Because you know, he'd done it for I don't know, 213 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 2: sixty years. But anyway, in the midst of all this 214 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 2: JB was an AG teacher at Western. I'm sorry, So 215 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 2: there's a lot of people, and I would love to 216 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 2: hear from somebody who knew JB. Errington. Joe Harris, Jojo, 217 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 2: she was Jojo when we were school. Now she did 218 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 2: Joe and she owns the Farmer's Marchantil with her mama. 219 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 2: Jojo put something up that was really nice about JB. Arrington. 220 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 2: That was the best thing I read. But in any case, 221 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 2: he was a wonderful man. And when I would go 222 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 2: into Orange to visit my parents, he would always come 223 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 2: over and tell me how proud he was of whatever 224 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 2: I was doing at the time, city council. Well, when 225 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 2: I got my law degree, he was just proud that 226 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 2: I'd gotten my law degree. And then the fact that 227 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: I had a real estate company, and then I was 228 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 2: on city council. Should I go through my resume room, 229 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 2: he would always he always knew what was going on 230 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 2: with you. He'd ask my parents at church, so he'd 231 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 2: come up, I'm so proud of you. And then when 232 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 2: I got on the air, that was just off the charts, 233 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 2: just he could not believe it. He listened to me 234 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 2: on the radio every day and it was the greatest 235 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 2: thing ever. So the likes of JB. Arrington, they don't 236 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 2: pass this way again. 237 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 4: JB. 238 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 2: Errington and Lawrence Curry rest in peace. Two great men, 239 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 2: two wonderful men that I could only hope to be 240 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 2: more like. 241 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 6: Joe. 242 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 2: You got it real quick. You got a cabin in Tahlequah. 243 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 4: You're, sir, and sorry to hear about your last one. 244 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: No worries. 245 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 2: Hey, listen, one was ninety, one was one hundred. That's 246 00:13:58,559 --> 00:13:58,959 Speaker 2: a good run. 247 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 4: I'll take it, yes, sir. Yeah, well so, uh, I 248 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 4: don't know if you remember, but uh, a couple of 249 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 4: years back, they were telling some of us that if 250 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 4: you want essential, you know, you couldn't go to work 251 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 4: and all that.

And you know, 303 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 2: Bob Wills didn't exist, or Jimmy Rodgers didn't exist, or 304 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 2: Bill Monroe bringing bluegrass into mainstream country without anybody know assent. 305 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 2: Without him, you got no Ricky Skaggs, you got no 306 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 2: Keith Whitley, who started as a bluegrass artist Lefty Frizell, 307 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 2: the early George Jones.

And look, I think 315 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 7: Steve Toath is walking into a perfect storm. And uh 316 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 7: and I truly believe that this is the year that 317 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 7: old Crenshaw will be primary. 318 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 2: We'll see. I mean, look, it's it's a tough it's 319 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 2: a tough ho to it's a tough road to ho 320 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 2: I'm all in for Toath, but you know, there's a 321 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 2: lot of money coming out of DC that he's in 322 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 2: trouble now. I noticed that when I posted a picture 323 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 2: of me and Steve Toath and and Eddie Gallagher at 324 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 2: the event last night, his campaign staff started, you know, 325 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 2: saying the crowd wasn't big enough, or saying all these 326 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 2: different things, which is what you do when you're scared. 327 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 2: You're trying to diminish the momentum. You see your opponent 328 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 2: having you're you're you're gunking up the works, and and 329 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 2: that's how you know that they're sitting on internal polling 330 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 2: that's in trouble. The fact is whether Dan Crenshaw wins 331 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 2: or not. I said this last night, and I'll say 332 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 2: it every time, whether John Cornyan wins or not, I don't. 333 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 2: I don't want either one of them to win. I 334 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 2: don't believe either one of them will win. But I've 335 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 2: been around this process long enough. My three heroes in 336 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 2: life from my childhood have been Robert E. Lee, Jesus 337 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 2: christ In, Davy Crockett. 338 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 4: I do not. 339 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 2: It doesn't cause me discomfort to lose if I believe 340 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 2: the battle is worthwhile. And that's how I look at everything. 341 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 2: So when people would say to me, when people have 342 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 2: said to me over the years, when I endorsed a 343 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 2: candidate or supported a candidate or a campaign, and you're 344 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 2: gonna lose, Okay, okay, that doesn't I don't. I don't 345 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 2: get involved because I think someone's gonna win. That's a week. 346 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 2: That's why you never saw me wearing a New England 347 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 2: jersey New England Patriots jersey when they were winning the 348 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 2: Super Bowl, but you saw a lot of people in 349 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 2: Houston who were latter day Patriots fans, because if they're winning, 350 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 2: they support them. But let me say this's about Dan Crenshaw. 351 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 2: I think what Eddie Gallagher revealed on our show yesterday 352 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 2: and what we talked about last night is a darkness 353 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 2: that surrounds Dan Crenshaw. And you know, Eddie Gallagher and 354 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 2: his wife both said something that maybe losing the election 355 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 2: would mean that Dan would end up in a better 356 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 2: place that he could find some healing. I think that 357 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 2: everybody who has watched the career of Dan Crenshaw, let's 358 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 2: leave politics aside, everybody who has watched him since he 359 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 2: would elect it to Congress would say he's very angry. 360 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 2: There are allegations that were printed. I don't know if 361 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 2: they're true or not about the drinking in Mexico and 362 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 2: all the problems that you know, whether he was told 363 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 2: he couldn't show up in an event for thirty days. 364 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 2: That may be a lie, I don't know, but it's 365 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 2: out there rather widely. I know that there are a 366 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 2: number of people with whom I've had conversations that have 367 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 2: talked about his anger. I know that on an open mic, 368 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 2: he said that if he ever catches took Across and 369 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 2: he would kill him. You know, it's one thing to say, 370 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 2: I'd kick his ass. He clearly has some very very 371 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: deep seated anger. You saw it when he yelled at 372 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 2: the little seventeen year old girl at the time hall meeting, 373 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 2: and the crowd just at first they were a gas 374 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 2: You hear them gasping, and then they said, wha, it's 375 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 2: a seventeen year old little girl asking you a question. 376 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 2: When you call Jesus Christ a superman archetype, you should 377 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 2: expect when you come back home to the district where 378 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 2: you don't live, you should come back. You should expect 379 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 2: to come back home to Kingwood and Montgomery County and 380 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 2: answer for that. Because you're not in DC anymore, you're 381 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 2: not at the parties anymore. And when you have an 382 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 2: amazing track record, you know you're a top five stock 383 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 2: picker in the entirety of Congress, just behind Nancy Pelosi, 384 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 2: you should expect people to ask questions about how you 385 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 2: got so good at being a stock picker. Once you 386 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 2: went to Congress and instead of blowing up at everyone 387 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 2: and saying. 388 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 5: Well, what are you gonna do. 389 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 2: Just make it so we can't trade stock. They don't 390 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 2: make any money. You know, you look real guilty when 391 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 2: you do that, real guilty when you start sending desist 392 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 2: letters to me and Sean Ryan, because we're not supposed 393 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: to be asking questions about whether you're trading stocks on 394 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 2: in that you learn as a congressman. I don't know 395 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 2: if you are or not. But it's a question we 396 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 2: get to ask. It's a question we should ask, and 397 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 2: you should be able to answer it. And the answer 398 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 2: shouldn't be to drop an f bomb when the free 399 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 2: press asks you the question and say, we haven't had 400 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 2: a cost of living increase in twenty years. Do people 401 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 2: know that can't make any money here, can't make any money? 402 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 2: You make almost two hudred thousand dollars. Ninety percent of 403 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 2: your district would trade places with you tomorrow. You ran 404 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 2: for this office, you keep running for more of it. 405 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 2: Why are you so angry? What are you so mad about? 406 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 2: Who has pissed you off so badly? Is it that 407 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,719 Speaker 2: people dare to question a person who is a public servant. 408 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 2: You're in the wrong business. You are there in people's stead. 409 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 2: You are there as their agent, as there literally as 410 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 2: their representative. People get to ask questions. If you hire 411 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 2: somebody to go into a meeting and represent you, when 412 00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 2: they come out of the meeting, you want to know 413 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 2: what they said because they said it on your behalf. 414 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 2: That's what you're there for. It's nothing personal. I honestly 415 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 2: think that the man is is is in a very 416 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 2: very dark place. That's what I read of it. This 417 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 2: this extends beyond being questions and the question and beyond politics. 418 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 2: And you know what, in a certain sense, I feel 419 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 2: sad for him. I really actually do, because I liked 420 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 2: the guy. I said, work my ass off to get 421 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 2: him elected, and now and do everything I can to 422 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 2: reverse that and get Steve Toade elected. 423 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 4: He was one, I said, dog cloudy in this with 424 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 4: the dream at his line, and. 425 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 2: Gotta carry on the back on the black line. You 426 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 2: are next on the Michael Berry Show. What you got sir? 427 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 4: Hey, Hey, Michael. 428 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 5: You know Dan Chrisshaw has slipped. He's gotten into politics. 429 00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 5: He may have been an honest man. I heard you 430 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 5: and interviews with him. You talk about him, you always 431 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 5: say that you know, we thought, but when he got there, 432 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 5: he figured out the inside of part inside. 433 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 4: Of trading the way he can get rich. He flipped. 434 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 4: That's the only reason. 435 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 5: That is the only reason. 436 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 4: You know, as the congressman, you don't. 437 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,959 Speaker 5: Make a whole lot of money. But when they show him, 438 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 5: just be on our side, and we're going to show 439 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 5: you how to make this money. 440 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 4: And he flipped. 441 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 5: He changed all everything about him has flipped when he 442 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 5: got inside Congress and he figured out, Hey, this is 443 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 5: how it's done. Let's make some money. Shut up, do 444 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 5: what we told you, just like the Corners, all the 445 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 5: rest of them Democrat Republicans. When they figured that out, Amen, 446 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 5: they go turn coat. And that's what it's happened. Harry. 447 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 2: I don't know that he's inside of trading. I don't 448 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 2: know that. I don't have confirmation of that. I do 449 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 2: know that other people have alleged it. I know that 450 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 2: if you if you search up the subject on YouTube, 451 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 2: you'll see a number of people who've tracked his trades. 452 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 2: I know that Tucker Carlson had a guest who called 453 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 2: him the worst offender or one of the worst offenders 454 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 2: or whatever. And this is a data analytics guy, which 455 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 2: I am not. And this guy ran the numbers. You 456 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 2: know they've got these They got a Pelosi stock trader, 457 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 2: So sorry, Pelosi stock tracker. Where you can track, you 458 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 2: can trade the same stocks that Pelosi trades because she's 459 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 2: an amazing stock picker. And I think they've got a 460 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 2: Crenshaw stock picker. Now I don't know tracker. I don't 461 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 2: know if that's if that's the case. I know there 462 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 2: was talk about it, you know, but look, there's a 463 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 2: lot of things on YouTube that may or may not 464 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 2: be true, but it sure is out there a lot. 465 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 2: And you don't know if where there's smoke, there's fire 466 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,719 Speaker 2: or people are just saying it. But people have been 467 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 2: saying this long before he had an opponent, and people 468 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 2: have been saying this who are not affiliated with his 469 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 2: current opponent. It's people who just follow what they consider 470 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 2: to be corruption in public office. One hundred and seventy 471 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 2: four thousand dollars a year is not nothing for a congressman. 472 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 2: I know you're making the point that they want to 473 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 2: make a lot more. But when Rubio got to the 474 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 2: Senate and he was complaining that he was broke after 475 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 2: a couple of years of being in the Senate, my 476 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 2: point was, hey, look, man, why'd you take a job? 477 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 2: There's a lot of people that would trade one hundred 478 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 2: and seventy four thousand dollars for worth they're making today, 479 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 2: and they work a whole hell of a lot harder 480 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 2: than a congressman. These people think they're the hardest working 481 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 2: people ever. Are you kidding me? Not even clothes. It's 482 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 2: not grueling, grinding work the way so many people do. 483 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 2: It's the arrogance is shocking. 484 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 4: You know. 485 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 2: I said to the crowd last night at Grace Church, 486 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 2: Grace Woodland's, I said, let me ask you this, when 487 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 2: you have truly a representative four hundred the country is 488 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 2: broken into four hundred and thirty five districts, and the 489 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 2: person you send there is your representative. I wonder how 490 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,959 Speaker 2: many people who live in the second Congressional District think 491 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 2: to themselves, Yeah, Dan Crenshaw, he could live next door 492 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 2: to me. When he is in DC, when he was 493 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 2: in the House, he is voting the way I would vote, 494 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 2: acting the way I would act, saying the things I 495 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 2: would say. I don't think a lot of people in 496 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 2: that district would say that we don't need professional politicians, 497 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 2: We don't need people. This isn't a movie where you 498 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 2: cast someone to go up and play the role. We 499 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 2: need to get back to the idea of the farmer, 500 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 2: like the outlaw Josie Wales who puts his plow down, 501 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 2: and you know Davy Crockett. People that leave the farm 502 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 2: and go in and give their time and then go 503 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 2: back the way George Washington did. They go their surveyors. 504 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 2: They go back to surveying. They're they're running a farm. 505 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 2: They go back to running a farm. They're a doctor, 506 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 2: they go back to being a doctor. What is it 507 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 2: about Congress that people leave? Not just Dan Crenshaw, people 508 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 2: leave their job. I don't know that Crenshall had a 509 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 2: job when he got elected, for the record, I don't know. 510 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 2: Maybe he did. I didn't know of him having a job. 511 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 2: But so people get these get this job and they 512 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 2: have no money. And let's look at ilan Omar. All 513 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 2: of a sudden they have a lot of money or 514 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 2: aoc a lot of money. Where's all this money coming from? 515 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 2: What are they doing to make all this money? And 516 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 2: why is it that so many of them are eighty 517 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 2: or ninety years old and they won't leave the place. 518 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 2: What is it about being in Congress that those people 519 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 2: go there and they can't leave. They just won't leave. 520 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 2: There are professional athletes who retire when they still got 521 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 2: a little gas in the tank and talk about a break. 522 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 2: I mean when you go for being a professional athlete, 523 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 2: the teammates, the camaraderie, the competition, and then you got 524 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 2: to then what do you do? Go sell insurance, Go 525 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 2: sell cars, go sell all dignified, wonderful positions. But you've 526 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 2: been a professional football player. But they'll leave when they 527 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 2: could still play longer because it's time, because you can't 528 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 2: do something forever. Why can't they leave DC? Why can't 529 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 2: they leave those shops? You ever asked that question? What 530 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 2: is it about it? What is so intoxicating about it? 531 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 2: What is so powerful about it? What is so rewarding 532 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 2: in whatever way they want to be rewarded? I don't 533 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 2: know something, though, I'll tell you that there's something about it, 534 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 2: there's something real about it. Let me close with the 535 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 2: little admonition that some of you won't like to hear, 536 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 2: and that's okay. We make a little suggestion. You didn't 537 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 2: know who Nancy Guthrie was a week ago. If you 538 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 2: are right now in a tizzy and people were to say, well, 539 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 2: don't ask Samantha her opinion, because she's really upset about that, Samantha, 540 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 2: about the Nancy Guthrie case. I just want you to 541 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 2: understand that your entire focus in life, your emotions, how 542 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 2: you spend your time, is being dictated by a news director. 543 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 2: But Michael, that case is that. Okay, here's what you 544 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 2: don't know. You don't know all the other cases of 545 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 2: people who are missing, compelling cases of little children, of 546 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:05,479 Speaker 2: elderly people. I hope they find Nancy Guthrie and return 547 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 2: her safely to her family. But is this really worthy 548 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 2: of this much of your attention? And please spare me 549 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 2: the well, we got to hear it, we've got to 550 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 2: have it on TV twenty four to seven because one 551 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 2: of us is going to crack the case. In almost 552 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 2: every case like this, the police already have their prem suspect. 553 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 2: This is all just entertainment for you. When I asked 554 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 2: people to stop watching the school shooting video because the 555 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 2: school shooting is over, well, if that was your child 556 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 2: in there, if that was my child in there, I 557 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 2: would not want the networks making sport of my child's death. 558 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 2: I can damn sure tell you that. Stop thinking that 559 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 2: in some way by rubbernecking at the accident on the 560 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 2: side of the road. You are in any way contributing 561 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 2: to the overall compassion level. But I'm not mad at 562 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 2: you for it.
