And then boom, 60 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 5: they do it again, and then they do it again, 61 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 5: and they do it. I've been through four marriages with 62 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 5: more than one friend married divorce, like I'm there for 63 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,839 Speaker 5: all of them.

Anyway? I don't know why I'm talking 68 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 5: about that. Oh oh, the guys that kind of there 69 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 5: were own worst enemy. So there's places where marijuana is 70 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 5: now legalized. If you haven't been to one of these, 71 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 5: and take my word for this, in Colorado. This happens. 72 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 5: You walk the streets and there is this stench, and 73 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 5: I mean stench of pot being smoked. Thing about it 74 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 5: is when I go somewhere to smoke cigars out in public, 75 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 5: I don't do it anymore. Now smoke at home. It's 76 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 5: just easier. I make sure I don't blow on anyone else. 77 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 5: I don't get near anyone else. But people will come up, 78 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 5: men and especially women, and I'll think, oh, they're coming 79 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 5: to bitch, and I'll say, I'm sorry, is this what? 80 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 9: No? 81 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 5: I love it, really, And it's always followed by a 82 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 5: my grandfather smoked cigars, my dad smokes cigars, or some 83 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 5: story of someone in their life that they loved who 84 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 5: smoked cigars. Now, some of them will tell you a pipe. 85 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 5: The problem with a pipe is a pipe can be 86 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 5: a delightful essence to waft through the air, but if 87 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 5: you're too close to it, it's a bit pungent. It 88 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 5: can be too sweet, can overpower you. What I'm trying 89 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 5: to tell you is that what I do is very good. 90 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 5: What everyone else do is very bad. But with the 91 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 5: pot thing, people whose parents smoke pot, people who themselves 92 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 5: smoke pot. Everybody says it reeks, it's awful. Stop it, 93 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 5: make it go away. But the pot smokers are so 94 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 5: thrilled to get to do it out in public, and 95 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 5: I think have to piss other people off. Okay, fine. 96 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 5: It's like the guy who rides through the downtown area 97 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 5: where the buildings are high and there's no room for 98 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 5: the sound to go, and he's on his harley and 99 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 5: he's right as loud as he can and in his mind, man, 100 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 5: he's getting over on everybody and this is great. And 101 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 5: then they come back because there's more of people that 102 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 5: are annoyed by that than are doing it, and they 103 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 5: put a noise ordinance in effect, and he gets arrested 104 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 5: the next time, and he talks about how everybody's uptight. 105 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 5: Why did you go and poke the bear? You've got 106 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 5: a thousand other places to do that. You're asking for it. 107 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 5: So I think if the weed smokers would stop smoking 108 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 5: in public, that it would it would die down a 109 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 5: lot of this this hatred of the weed smokers, because 110 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 5: the people who do gummies, first of all, you don't 111 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 5: know they do gummies, and they don't bother anybody, and 112 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 5: they go home, sit on the couch, fall asleep to 113 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 5: the wheel or Mattlock or Old Petticoat junction or something. 114 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 5: They don't bother anybody, and law enforcement officers will tell 115 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 5: you the same. So the idea on weed is not 116 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 5: what it used to be. I don't want to waste 117 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 5: today's show on this, but there will be some of 118 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 5: you who can't help it. You've been in doctorate and 119 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 5: you'll go. But Michael, people won't work hard.

Well, Michael, if they smoke at Nope, they 124 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 5: end up not caring about nothing. There nothing, and they 125 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 5: don't want to work. Why do you care? Listen, let's 126 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 5: focus on our priorities.

The day after President Trump 185 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 5: was shot, my guy who runs the site for me, 186 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 5: he put up a picture of that we had seen 187 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 5: online of Trump when he's got his teeth down on 188 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 5: his bottom lip, which is over bottom of his teeth, 189 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 5: and his top teeth are down, kind of beaver style, 190 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 5: and he's saying fight and it's just pure grit, is 191 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 5: just a guttural grit of survival, and the blood is 192 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 5: streaking down his face and he's got his hand clenched 193 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 5: and he's telling people over the shoulders of the Secret 194 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 5: Service are trying to get him out of there.

It transcended politics. And he posted that picture 201 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 5: with our logo on it, and that that shirt mug, 202 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 5: everything else was enough to give a bonus to our team.

Wait, I didn't I split that one 205 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 5: I thought would be I thought I had more impact 206 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 5: if we cut it down to two on that one. 207 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 5: But you folks make that happen.

It's about two thousand and seven, maybe earlier, 249 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 5: and he said he wanted a band and put our 250 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 5: heads together and did Charlie Robinson And so my buddy 251 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 5: Patrick Pacheco and I went up for it, and we're 252 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 5: gonna get to hang out with Charlie. And it's this 253 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 5: big event and he spent all this Money's a big 254 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 5: Deloitte event, all hundreds of thousand dollars on this party 255 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 5: for Deloitte employees and their families, probably a thousand people there. 256 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 5: Charlie takes the stage. Bill brings him up. This is 257 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 5: Charlie Robinson. Andybody's like he starts the song in thirty 258 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 5: seconds in They all leave and go to the family 259 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 5: activities and eat there. And Patrick and I sat there 260 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 5: and Charlie points at these two chairs. They're probably eight chairs, 261 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 5: but two of them, uh plastic chairs, and he points like, 262 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 5: get those and bring them over here, and he directed us. 263 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 5: We got the chairs and we went and we plopped 264 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 5: down right in front of him, about thirty feet away, 265 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 5: and they did a rehearsal, because when you do a 266 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 5: show that nobody attends, you just make it a rehearsal. 267 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 5: And we sat there and I'm the biggest Charlie Robinson 268 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 5: fan there is and I'm sitting there singing along and 269 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 5: he's just smiling and he's like. I asked him afterwards, 270 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 5: I said, does this just break your heart? He goes, no, 271 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 5: this is why we make people pay more for private events, 272 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 5: because they're horrible to do. People never understand and say, hey, Michael, 273 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 5: I'm trying to get Robert o' keen to play my house. 274 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 5: But he's charging all this money. I know you didn't 275 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 5: pay him that much. No, because I provided a venue 276 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 5: where he could perform music to people who are fans 277 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 5: of his, and that gives that's artistry. Otherwise it's like, 278 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 5: you know, you're getting going to the dentist. And he said, 279 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 5: why is it so much? Because the people at your 280 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 5: party are not fans of his. They won't know the songs, 281 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 5: and they won't listen, and they'll probably talk the whole time. 282 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 5: And artists don't want that. They want to commune with 283 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 5: the audience and sing along with the audience who's enjoying 284 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 5: what they're doing. And so if I'm gonna have to 285 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 5: do something I don't want to do. It's why I 286 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 5: charge a lot more money to travel and speak than 287 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 5: to speak locally, because I don't want to be away 288 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 5: from my family. It's the same thing. And so anyway, 289 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 5: I said, man, this has got to break your Heart's 290 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 5: got to be awful, and he said, no, you just 291 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 5: get paid a lot of money. But I felt bad 292 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 5: for Bill because Bill goes and gets a great band. Anyway, 293 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 5: he's on the bord of Texas Traditions Bank. Michael Durski 294 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 5: Do you know him?

Jim, who called 327 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 5: in the first hour, said he didn't like that. He 328 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 5: wanted JD to pummel him, wanted him to leave his 329 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 5: dead carcass, his political carcass in the middle of the room, 330 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 5: show no patience, no mercy, which would be great, except 331 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 5: we know very clearly it would cost you the election. Remember, 332 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 5: you're only as good as your weakest link, and a 333 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 5: small percentage of women, but enough to swing the election. 334 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 5: Doesn't mean you ladies out there are dumb dums. You're not. 335 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 5: But some of the other people with your same reproductive 336 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 5: organs are, and some of those are undecided, and we 337 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 5: got to get them to vote the right way. And 338 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 5: it was a delicate, nuanced knockout. Did it appeal to 339 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 5: my buddies who drive around in a jacked up truck 340 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 5: with big wheels, big knobby wheels, blowing Dixie out of 341 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 5: their horn with a Confederate flag out the back. No, no, 342 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 5: they wanted a knockout, but we don't have enough to win, 343 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 5: So you got to go in and get some people 344 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 5: who like to think of themselves. It's very sophisticated. Even 345 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 5: the New York Times headline Vance's dominant debate performance shows 346 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 5: why he's Trump's running mate. When you've lost the New 347 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 5: York Times, I was just thinking about the Righteous Brothers. 348 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 5: I went into that scene with Goose and Maverick. That 349 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 5: was back before Tom Cruise was just real weird. He 350 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 5: wasn't so weird back then. Let's go to Carol, Carol, 351 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 5: You're on the Michael Berry Show.

No, that's I know that 387 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 5: sounds good to you right now, but that's really not 388 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 5: what he needed to do. You know what jd Vance said, 389 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 5: he was I was in warning you wouldn't I'm gonna 390 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 5: kick your ass, and he'd one, No. I don't think 391 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 5: that would have done it either, But thank you. Everybody 392 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 5: can tell jd Vance what one line that they wish 393 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 5: he had said that he didn't say, and how that 394 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 5: would have won it, offer him because that would have 395 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 5: made that person happier, but it wouldn't have actually tested 396 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 5: well jd Vance's performance, every single part of it, the 397 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 5: stupid stuff that I study that you have no reason 398 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 5: to need to study and does not matter or shouldn't matter, 399 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 5: but does. The way he walked to the podium technically elected, 400 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 5: the way he exited, the way his delivery, his cadence 401 00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 5: is pacing when he had to disagree, and he had 402 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 5: to disagree firmly, sternly, but not over the top with 403 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 5: the quote unquote fact checkers who weren't supposed to be 404 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 5: doing that and we're wrong. He did it with a 405 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,959 Speaker 5: plumb and it's a balancing act. It's so delicate. And 406 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 5: the thing that he did was when Waltz was really 407 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 5: doing his jazz hands and getting really creepy, he'd kind 408 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 5: of lean in like that's all pholk, sporky pig and 409 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 5: kind of looked at you in the audience, and he 410 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 5: spoke directly to you with his eyes and it was 411 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 5: your master. 412 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 6: Did you change your position? 413 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 4: Wide? 414 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 3: Michael Barry had become friends with school shooters. 415 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 2: Governor Walls, you said you were in Hong Kong during 416 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 2: the deadly Tenemen Square protests in the spring of nineteen 417 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 2: eighty nine, but Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets 418 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 2: are reporting that you actually didn't travel to Asia until 419 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 2: August of that year. Can you explain that discrepancy? 420 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, and the folks out there, it didn't get 421 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 3: at the top of this look. I grew up in small, 422 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,959 Speaker 3: rural Nebraska, a town of four hundred. 423 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 4: I joined the National Guard at seventeen, and then I 424 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 4: use the GI Bill to become a teacher. 425 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 3: My first year out, I got the opportunity in the 426 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 3: summer of eighty nine to travel to China and then 427 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 3: started a program to take young people there. But I've 428 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,239 Speaker 3: not been perfect and I'm a knucklehead at times, and 429 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 3: in Congress, I was one of the most bipartisan people, 430 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 3: working on things like farm bills that we got done, 431 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 3: working on veterans benefits. So look, my commitment has been 432 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 3: from the beginning to make sure that I'm there for 433 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 3: the people. I will say more than anything. Many times, 434 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 3: I will talk a lot. I will get caught. 435 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 4: Up in the rhetoric. 436 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 3: I would make the case that Donald Trump should have 437 00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 3: come on one of those trips with US. I guarantee 438 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 3: you you wouldn't be praising chijingping about COVID, and I 439 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 3: guarantee you he wouldn't start a trade war that he 440 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 3: ends up losing. 441 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 4: So this is about. 442 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 3: Trying to understand the world. It's about trying to do 443 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 3: the best you can for your community. My commitment, whether 444 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 3: it be through teaching, which I was good at, or 445 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 3: whether it was being a good soldier orlways being a 446 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 3: good member of Congress, those are the things that I 447 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 3: think are the values that people care about. 448 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 4: Governor. 449 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 2: Just to follow up on that, the question was, can 450 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 2: you explain the norepancy. 451 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 3: All I said on this was is I got there 452 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 3: that summer and misspoke on this so I will just 453 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 3: that's what I've said. So I was in Hong Kong 454 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 3: and China during the democracy protests went in and from 455 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 3: that I learned a lot of what needed to be 456 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 3: in governance. 457 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 9: Mister Madison, what you just said is one of the 458 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 9: most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point 459 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 9: in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to 460 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 9: anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in 461 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 9: this room is now dumber for having listened to it. 462 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 9: I award you no points, and may God have mercy 463 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 9: on your soul. 464 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 5: This is important. There is a wonderful thirty for thirty. 465 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 5: It's one of the last ones to come out as 466 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 5: maybe two thirty thirty four thirdays ago. It's on Michael Chang, 467 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 5: and Michael Chang's parents came here from China and here 468 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 5: was a young man. He's my I think he's my 469 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 5: exact same age, and he's coming up through the ranks 470 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 5: in tennis, and there were no Asian kids playing tennis 471 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 5: at the time. Now it's all Asian, it's all Indians 472 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 5: because their parents want them to be more well rounded 473 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 5: so they can get into Harvard and Yell and Stanford 474 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 5: and so they are dominant and as players because the 475 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 5: white and black kids all play baseball, basketball, football, and 476 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 5: so there weren't that many kids playing tennis the Indian 477 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 5: kids because you don't have to be on a team. 478 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 5: The fact that your mother who's making you spend four 479 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 5: hours a day a drilling for spelling bee, can also 480 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 5: make you spend four hours a day because you don't 481 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 5: need to sleep that much playing tennis. Well, Michael Chang 482 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 5: comes up through the ranks and he's playing to be 483 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 5: the youngest French Open champion in history, which he did, 484 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 5: and Teneman Square is going on at the same time. 485 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 5: This was a major moment. I remember, I was obsessed 486 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 5: with this moment. The Chinese people were willing themselves to freedom. 487 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 5: We had never seen anything in the modern world quite 488 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 5: like this. This was bigger than Leck Willessa in Poland. 489 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 5: This was bigger than the freeing of Hungary Romania. This 490 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 5: was the freeing. 491 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 8: This was. 492 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 5: Potentially as big as the fall of the Soviet Union. 493 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 5: And I was obsessed because of the importance of it. 494 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 5: Maybe China could could no longer be the heel, but 495 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 5: could be the baby face in the world. Maybe they 496 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 5: could be our ally, Maybe they could be a force 497 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 5: for good and most of all, the Chinese people could 498 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 5: finally have a life to be proud of, a life 499 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 5: of hope, which they hadn't. That's very important. This was 500 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 5: a this was a major, major thing, and it talks 501 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 5: about Michael Change's kind of relationship to all of that 502 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 5: and wishing for the best for the Chinese people for 503 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 5: his anyway. It's a great watch. So Tim Walls has 504 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 5: had students and colleagues who've come out and said Tim 505 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 5: Waltz is an avowed communist and he worships Communist China's 506 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 5: government a CCP. We've seen this disturbing trend before. We've 507 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 5: seen it in Lee Harvey Oswald, whose wife Marina he 508 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 5: married in Russia and he was trying to get back 509 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 5: to Russia but he couldn't get a visa when Kennedy 510 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 5: was assassinated, whoever did it, He tried to get to 511 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 5: Russia through Mexico City, through the Cuban embassy there, in 512 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 5: the Russian embassy there. He had been to Russia on 513 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 5: his honeymoon. Bernie Sanders obsession with Russia. He honeymooned in 514 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 5: Soviet Union Russia. Now think about where your head is 515 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 5: you're so caught up in this cult, this ideology, Tim Waltz, 516 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 5: is that for China. But what he's done is he 517 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 5: has reframed that as if to say I was at 518 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 5: Tieneman Square because I am so passionate about freedom. 519 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 8: In China. 520 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 5: Quite the opposite. He is a huge supporter of the CCP. 521 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 5: I am certain he's a controlled asset for them. And 522 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 5: I don't say that lightly. I am certain of it. 523 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 5: I'm certain of it based on things I've seen. I've 524 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 5: not been told that by an inside person. I don't 525 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:43,959 Speaker 5: want to give you the wrong idea, but I am 526 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 5: certain of it. I feel certain. I suspect it strongly. 527 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 5: Let me say that he's made thirty trips to China. 528 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 5: He's not in the corrugated box business. He doesn't have 529 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 5: a manufacturing facility there. He's never been in the private sector. 530 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 5: Why is he going to China so much? He can't 531 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 5: tell you. People who've been around him say he worships China. 532 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 5: And he got caught. He claimed he was at Tenneman Square, 533 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 5: and he lied. I misspoke sometimes I'm a knucklehead. You 534 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 5: lied here he was in twenty nineteen, twenty five or month. 535 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 4: When did you live in China about late eighties? Okay, 536 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 4: so you know I was there. I see this happening 537 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:33,439 Speaker 4: in Hong Kong. 538 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 3: As as a more serious note, I was in Hong 539 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 3: Kong on not on June fourth, nineteen eighty nine, when, 540 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 3: of course Tenneman. 541 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 4: Square happened, and I was in China after that. 542 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 3: It was very strange because of course all outside transmissions 543 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 3: were blocked Voice. 544 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,879 Speaker 4: Of America and of course there was no phones or email. 545 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 3: Or anything, so I was kind of out of touch. 546 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 3: It took me a month to know the Berlin Wall 547 00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 3: had fallen when I was living theres
