1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.

2
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: Till Michael Very Show is on the air.

3
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 3: What will we do with this moment? How will we

4
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 3: be remembered? Look at the opportunities before us.

5
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 4: We need to remember above and beyond that we must

6
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,959
Speaker 4: love our neighbors, That we must.

7
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: Treat other people as we hope to be treated.

8
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 5: The people dreamed this country, and it's the people who

9
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 5: are making America great again now at all.

10
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 6: Together, they crossed the oceans, settled the continent, tame the wilderness,

11
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 6: laid down the railroads, raised up those mighty skyscrapers, built

12
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 6: the highways, one two world wars, defeated fascism and communism,

13
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 6: and launched American astronauts.

14
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 7: To the moon.

15
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 6: It was hardworking patriots like you who built this country.

16
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 6: And now it's hardworking patriots like you who are going

17
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 6: to save.

18
00:01:52,680 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 8: Our country, don't you tomorrow?

19
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 9: Now we are one people, one family, and one glorious

20
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 9: nation under God.

21
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 6: We will never give in, We will never give up,

22
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 6: we will never ever back down, and we will never

23
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 6: ever ever ever surrender. Together, we will fight, fight, fight,

24
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 6: and we.

25
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: Will win win win.

26
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna win, win, win.

27
00:02:45,280 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: So tomorrow.

28
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 6: It is election days promise we will put America first

29
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 6: and we will take back the nation that we all.

30
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 8: Love right here, right now, right now.

31
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: The only thing missing, Dom and Dave. Early voting in

32
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: Texas will give you some Texas numbers. Over nine million

33
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: ballots have been cast. That's nearly half of the state's

34
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: registered voters, voters with a history of Republican primary participation.

35
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: We can't know how someone voted, but we can know

36
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: when we see voter John Smith has voted, we can

37
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: see that he voted, and we can cross tabulate, cross

38
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: reference and know that he's voted in one, two, three, five,

39
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: ten Republican primaries. The more Republican primaries he has voted

40
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: in in the past and never having voted in a

41
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: Democrat primary, the more that we call him a one

42
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: R means he's voted in one Republican primary, two R,

43
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: three R. Three rs are kind of shorthand for what

44
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: we would call him radio a P one. In the

45
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: old days, when you would push the button on your

46
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: radio and it would move the dial up and down,

47
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: you'd have your top three and then there were five.

48
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: You'd push it to your P one. That that button

49
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: was called a P one. That was your favorite station.

50
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: So when Ramon will be out at an event and

51
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: he'll say that guy over there's a p one. He's

52
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: been to three of our events. That means we're their

53
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: favorite show. A three R is a three time Republican

54
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: primary voter. If that guy showed up to vote, we

55
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: can pretty much presume he voted for Trump and Cruise.

56
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: There will be some Bush, Romney, McCain Republicans who have

57
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: been reliable Republican voters who will vote for Kamala because

58
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: they're butt hurt because they're going to lose their contract

59
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: and you know, we won't be in war, which is

60
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: what they want. There will be that. But and there

61
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: by the way, there will also be some Democrats who

62
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: will vote Republican see Tulsey Gabbard, Nicole Shanahan, RFK. I mean,

63
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: by golly, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Not just voting Republican,

64
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: but campaigning Republican voters with a history of Republican primary

65
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: participation led in turnout so far, with each passing day,

66
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: that difference between Republicans and Democrats who shown up so

67
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: far widened. Now I'll get a hundred emails by the

68
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: time I go to bre Michael, don't tell them that,

69
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: because then people won't vote. Please lose my number. That's

70
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: not how it works. People will show up to vote

71
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: when they believe we're going to win. Democrats will stay

72
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: home when I say that. High turnout areas were primarily

73
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: concentrated in Republican held congressional and legislative districts, reflecting a

74
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 1: pattern scene in previous election cycles. The data suggests strong

75
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: Republican engagement in early voting, with trends looking more like

76
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:37,119
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen than the Democrat surge of twenty twenty. Forty

77
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: eight point six of all registered voters in Texas voted early.

78
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: When you take out twenty twenty, which had the highest

79
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: that's more votes that have been cast in any presidential

80
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: election in Texas history. Voters with previous Republican primary history

81
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: versus those with previous day Democrat primary history, Republicans led

82
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: by eight hundred sixty six thousand votes. If everybody held true,

83
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: Democrats would have to have an eight hundred sixty six

84
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: thousand vote majority on the people who vote today, which

85
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: is still possible. But if we all show up to vote,

86
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: they can't even cheat themselves to that. This looks much

87
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: more like twenty sixteen when we won than twenty twenty

88
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: when we struggled. Of the early votes cast in Texas,

89
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: fifty three percent were women, forty four percent were men.

90
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty, or perspective, women's share of the vote

91
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: was fifty two So women increased by one percent. It

92
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: was expected that they would increase by much more than

93
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: that because as commal as people have just been hammering abortion, abortion, abortion, abortion, abortion.

94
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: Now only a stupid woman would show up and vote

95
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: on the one issue of abortion, especially because it's not well,

96
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna waste so much time. Voters under thirty

97
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty they were fifteen percent. This year that

98
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: went down to thirteen percent. Voters seventy plus in twenty

99
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: twenty was seventeen percent. This year is nineteen percent. More

100
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: old people voted, fewer young people voted. One point eight

101
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: million voters aged seventy plus participated in early voting, which

102
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: is up from one point six million in twenty twenty.

103
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: Those are our vote.

104
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: The immigrant is not a criminal.

105
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: The Michael Arry Joe, do you have to correct course

106
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: in this conversation.

107
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 6: And this is the greatest political movement by far in

108
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 6: the history of our countries. Tried to stop it, but

109
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 6: that brush with death did not stop us. It only

110
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 6: made us more determined to finish the job that we

111
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 6: had only just started.

112
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 2: This is my THO take my life. I've still got

113
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: a lot of blast in me.

114
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 6: Many people say that God saved me in order to

115
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 6: save America. Many many people saying, and with your help,

116
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 6: we will fulfill that extraordinary mission.

117
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 7: Together, we're gonna fulfill it.

118
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 6: We're gonna save our country.

119
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: This is my son, take back my life.

120
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 7: Well, what Tusa?

121
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 10: I always say, I don't give her enough compliments, I

122
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 10: don't give her enough critic I don't tell her this

123
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 10: and that.

124
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 7: But what Tusa, I would like to pay you one

125
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 7: extremely truthful comment. Well that's a nice change.

126
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 10: Yes, So you are exactly more competent being an ad

127
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 10: liver cord than Kamakola Harris have ever been able to do.

128
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 7: And you don't even have no teleprompter. What dare you?

129
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 10: I don't know, I really don't, but uh, you come

130
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 10: across as there's a whole hell of all. I'm most

131
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 10: smarter than that in the asthe I really appreciate you

132
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 10: telling me that. Girl.

133
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go in there and sit on the floor

134
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 7: and eat me some. I'mon Joyce. You do you girl,

135
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 7: That's what I'm talking about. Bone hell. Well, see, net,

136
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 7: let's go back to the Mica bed program. How you dring.

137
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: Last detail on Texas and I'll get to your calls.

138
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: Top five largest counties in Texas accounted for forty percent

139
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: of all early votes in twenty twenty. That was forty

140
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: three percent the large counties tend to lean Democrat. In

141
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Across the large counties, Biden held fifty nine

142
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: percent of those votes. Hillary in twenty sixteen had fifty

143
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: five percent of those vote votes. Biden held nearly a

144
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: one million vote lead in the top five counties over

145
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in twenty twenty. So let's take, for instance,

146
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: Harris County. You're going to have your inner city vote

147
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: that's going to go pretty heavily Democrat in the past,

148
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: and that's where all your cheating is going to occur.

149
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: But you're still going to have your Cadis.

150
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 4: And your.

151
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 1: Kingwoods and your Clear Lakes and the like. Those big

152
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: counties obviously are Harris, Tarrant, Travis Bear, and I don't

153
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: know who would be fifth. I don't know if it's

154
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: Dallas County or not. I always think of Dallas being

155
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: in Dallas County, but obviously it's Tarrant County, and Tarrant

156
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: County tends to do well as a county. The city

157
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: does not, but the county does. Voters with Hispanics names

158
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 1: accounted for eighteen percent of early votes, which is less

159
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: than in twenty twenty when it was nineteen percent, and

160
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: exactly the same as twenty sixteen when it was eighteen percent.

161
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: But you can't know that much about Hispanic last names.

162
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: The way in the past blacks were reliably Democrat, that

163
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: will be less so this time as a higher percentage

164
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: of blacks. We're not talking about half. We're not even

165
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: talking about a third, although that would be amazing, but

166
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: we're talking about enough to make a difference. I don't

167
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: want to jinx it. We're talking about enough to make

168
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: a difference. And a lot of blacks are staying home,

169
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: and I think that is their protest vote. I'm hearing that,

170
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: I'm seeing that. It's consistent with the data. A lot

171
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: of blacks are staying home because they don't abide Kamala Harris.

172
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: They don't want to enable her and they don't believe

173
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: that Trump is so bad. After all, it's a second

174
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: step to vote for Trump. The first step is I'm

175
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: not voting for that bitch. I don't like her, I

176
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: don't like what Biden has done. I feel insulted, and

177
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm tired of these illegals coming in here because it's

178
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: hitting us hard. Truth is, inner city residents are hit

179
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: harder by illegal immigration than rural residents. Now, the Democrats

180
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: want to chase you down. They want to dump a

181
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: bunch of Haitians to eat your cats and dogs in Springfelle, Ohio,

182
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: or Belleville or bas Drop, Brenham, Burton. That's what they

183
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: want to do, and if they have their way, they will.

184
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: But for now, that's where we are. Rural voters will

185
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: save the day in Texas, and sixty percent of voters

186
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: are outside the top five counties, and that's where we

187
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: pick it up. That's East Texas, that's West Texas, that's

188
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: Central Texas. You drive those highways and you see what

189
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: people have on their fence out front, and how proud

190
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: they are to tell you who they're voting for. You

191
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: could be lulled into believing, oh, well, then everybody's for

192
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: Trump because all the signs are for Trump. Democrats don't

193
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: put signs. They live in apartments, they live in the

194
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: inner city, they live like in ant hills. They don't

195
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: put signs out front. People that put signs out front

196
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: are the people that you wish were all the people voting.

197
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: But it's hard to get a density of those people.

198
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: Let's go to Maria. Maria, you're on the Michael Berry Show.

199
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:42,239
Speaker 1: Go ahead, sweetheart.

200
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 11: Hi, good morning, Michael Berry. How are you today.

201
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm good?

202
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 11: Okay, So, first of all, I am a Hispanic. I

203
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 11: was raised here in Houston, Texas. My parents moved here

204
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 11: when I was two years old from that US.

205
00:15:58,520 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: You sound just cute.

206
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 4: As I.

207
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 11: Thank you. That's sweet. That's besides Trump winning, He's going

208
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 11: to win. You've made my day. So the other thing

209
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 11: is I have two kids. One's an adult. One's fixing

210
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 11: to be an adult in February, so he's not able

211
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 11: to vote. But I've been on my daughter letting her

212
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 11: know you need, you need to really focus and vote

213
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 11: for Trump because if you don't look at the what

214
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 11: could happen what we've been dealing.

215
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 4: With for the last four years.

216
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 11: So she's in Connecticut and she never received her ballot.

217
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 11: She ordered it, never received it. So she's trying to

218
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 11: vote today and I don't know if she's able to

219
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 11: do that. But it's sad.

220
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: But it is sad, and we're going to hear a

221
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: lot of those stories. But we just have to stay

222
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: positive and get every vote in that we possibly can.

223
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: We're going to hear a lot of these. They're going

224
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: to keep coming in. I'm assuring you. Let's go ten ten.

225
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: You're on the Michael Berry Show.

226
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 4: Go ahead, hey, ten ten here, Thank you, Michael. This

227
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 4: is a great day to be alive. That was a

228
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 4: quote from my old football and baseball coach in high

229
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 4: school Graduatessul, who was I wanted to point out that

230
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 4: my father, Harry tray Big, he was probably one of

231
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 4: the most significant people in my entire life. After I

232
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 4: lost my father in high school, he became an immediate

233
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 4: Where did you go to high school? And I went.

234
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 4: I went to high school in Galison. It was O'Connell

235
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 4: High School. It was a private Catholic school. It was

236
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 4: probably the.

237
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: Well did you come over in seventy six?

238
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, that was me. I've called and talked to

239
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 4: you a couple of times.

240
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: You No, No, I just most of the boat people

241
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,239
Speaker 1: came over in seventy six, so I just assumed you

242
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: were probably part of that. And what year did your

243
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: dad pass?

244
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 4: He passed in nineteen ninety one, month before my high

245
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 4: school graduation.

246
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: Oh man, what did he do?

247
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 4: Yeah? It was I'm sorry.

248
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: What did he do for a living?

249
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 4: What was?

250
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 8: Uh?

251
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 4: He was a longshoreman. He worked on the docks in

252
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 4: gallop and pull on a second ten.

253
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 3: Now they have pledged to carry out the largest deportation,

254
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 3: a mass deportation.

255
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: With you imagine what that would look like us?

256
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 7: You trust.

257
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 6: I'm here tonight to ladd a vision for the whole

258
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 6: nation to every citizen, whether you're a young or old,

259
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 6: man or woman, Democrat, Republican or independent, Black or white,

260
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 6: Asian or Hispanic, I extend to you a hand of

261
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 6: loyalty and of friendship. Together, we will lead America to

262
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 6: new heights of greatness like.

263
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 7: The world has never seen before.

264
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 6: Under our leadership, the United States will be respected again.

265
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 8: No nation will question our.

266
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 7: Power, no enemy will doubt our might.

267
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 6: Our borders will be totally secure, our economy will soar.

268
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 6: We will return law in order to our streets patriotism

269
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 6: to our schools, and importantly, we will restore peace, stability,

270
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 6: and harmony all throughout the world. This will be the

271
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 6: most important election in the history of our country. Under

272
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 6: the current administration, we are indeed a nation in decline.

273
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 6: We have an inflation crisis that is making life unaffordable,

274
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 6: ravaging the end comes of working and low income families,

275
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 6: and crushing just simply crushing our people like never before.

276
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,719
Speaker 6: They've never seen anything like it. We also have an

277
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 6: illegal immigration crisis, and it's taking place right now as

278
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 6: we sit here in this beautiful arena.

279
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 2: It's the.

280
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 6: Inflation has wiped out the life savings of our citizens

281
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 6: and forced the middle class into a state of depression

282
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 6: and despair. That's what it is. It's despair and depression.

283
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 6: We cannot and will not let this continue. Less than

284
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 6: four years ago, we were a great nation, and we

285
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 6: will soon be a great nation again.

286
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 7: We're going to be a great nation again.

287
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 6: To our citizens. Starting on day one, we will drive

288
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 6: down prices and make America affordable again.

289
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 7: We have to make it affordable.

290
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 8: It's not affordable.

291
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 7: People can't live.

292
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 6: Like a Under my plan, income as will skyrocket, inflation

293
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 6: will vanish completely, jobs will come roaring back, and the

294
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 6: middle class will prosper like never ever before. And we're

295
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 6: going to do it very rapidly. I will bring back

296
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 6: the American dream.

297
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 8: That's what we're going to do.

298
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 6: You don't even hear about the American.

299
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 7: Dreaman and then, with great humility, I am.

300
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 6: Asking you to be excited about the future of our country.

301
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 7: Be excited, Be excited.

302
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: I was just sent a clip from a few minutes

303
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: ago on CNN. It is a clearly low tee man

304
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: and he's very proud. He's just voted for Family Harris.

305
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: And the woman asked him, why did you vote for

306
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris? And he said, I have three daughters. Women's

307
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: rights is pretty important to them and my daughters. I'm sorry,

308
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: I'm getting a little emotional. I didn't think I was

309
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: going to do that. Their bodies, their choice kind of mentality.

310
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: You've got three daughters, young daughters. He's a pretty young guy.

311
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: What are they six, eight and ten? And you're terribly

312
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: concerned how easy it'll be for them to get abortions,

313
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: You jackass. Why don't you teach them how people get pregnant.

314
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 1: Why don't we have a conversation about personal accountability. Stop

315
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: laying down with men if you're not gonna use protection

316
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: and then waking up pregnant and running around like a

317
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: chicken with your head cut off multiple times in your lifetime,

318
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: And dare I bring up you're gonna end up with

319
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: an STD. Good grief, that's never discussed, you nutjob. What

320
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: about your three daughters getting raped by illegal aliens? What

321
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: about the country being overrun, bankrupted by illegal aliens? Well,

322
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: at least they'll still have the abortions. You know, people

323
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: like this, This is what's wrong. If this guy worked

324
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: for me, i'd fire him. But I'd never hire him

325
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: because I'd spot him when he walked in the door.

326
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: The lisp dead giveaway. Ten, I'm sorry, you're up. Tell

327
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: me about your dad. What was his name?

328
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 4: My dad? His name was Don Meehan. He was Irish

329
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 4: and he married an Italian mom. I was separated from

330
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 4: both of my parents during the evacuation of Vietnam, and

331
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 4: I didn't see either one of them again until I

332
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 4: was almost twenty years old. But I was a five

333
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 4: year old when he took me in, and he was

334
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 4: already in his sixties and my mom was already in

335
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 4: her fifties, so you know, they they were not the

336
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 4: conventional parent settings that would have a five year old.

337
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 4: They already had grown kids of their own. But you

338
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 4: never know, my.

339
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: This guy's got a fascinating story, and you never would

340
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: have known that unless you ask really awkward questions. Yeah,

341
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: so what served agency? What organization placed you with them?

342
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 4: Well, actually I was. I was kind of a toss

343
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 4: back and forth between my dad's side of the family.

344
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 4: So my dad I had separated from my mom after

345
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 4: they found out that she was pregnant, and my father's

346
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 4: side never approved of their courtship because of the I guess,

347
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 4: the different classification, the different education. My dad's side of

348
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 4: the family was very rich and very educated and my

349
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 4: mom was totally opposite. So my dad's father never approved

350
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 4: the relationship. My dad, in fact, his family encouraged my

351
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 4: mom to have me aboord it, and thank goodness that

352
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 4: didn't happen, you know, thanks to the love of my mother.

353
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 4: It's why I'm still here today. And you know, I

354
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 4: don't talk about this often, but I always love to

355
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 4: share it when the topic comes up. So I was

356
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 4: kind of tossed back and forth between my dad's side

357
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 4: of the family between you know, his brothers and sisters.

358
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 4: We made our way to Texas, where I made my

359
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 4: way to Texas back in seventy six by way of

360
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 4: France because I was over there with one of my

361
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 4: dad's sisters. And when we came to Texas, I stayed

362
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 4: in Nebraska for a few months with one of his brothers.

363
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 4: Then we made our way down to Galveston to where

364
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 4: I stayed with another one and two sisters. They already

365
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 4: had a bunch of kids, so they were trying to

366
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 4: basically find another house for me, and she was going

367
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 4: to a nursing school with a friend of hers as

368
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 4: one of her friends. If they would be wait.

369
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 7: Don't you think socialist cool?

370
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 12: To win with every single facet. We're gonna win so

371
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 12: much you may even get tired of winning. And you'll say, please, please,

372
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 12: it's too much winning. We can't take it anymore. It's

373
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 12: too much, and I'll say, no, it isn't. We have

374
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 12: to keep winning. We have to win more. We're gonna

375
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 12: win more. We're gonna win so much.

376
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 7: Doing we win.

377
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 3: I mean, no matter what, looking money on my mind,

378
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,239
Speaker 3: I can't never get it up.

379
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 7: And every time I fell up in the beauded.

380
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: Everybody hand go.

381
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 4: It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of

382
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 4: Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in

383
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 4: our country, because you'd be in jail.

384
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 7: And they stayed there and they.

385
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 13: Say and they pay their w's the standard line for them.

386
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 13: Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. I'm just the opposite.

387
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 13: I'm the one that fixed our military. I'm the one

388
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 13: that knocked out isis. I'm the one I did so much.

389
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 13: I also took a bullet.

390
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 3: Now they just said it this just winning, baby, we

391
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 3: do it.

392
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 7: Win, we win, no.

393
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 2: Matter what fuck out money on my man. I can

394
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 2: never get it up.

395
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 7: And every time I step up in the.

396
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 2: Beauded everybody had.

397
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 6: The attacker in Pennsylvania wanted to stop our movement.

398
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 9: But the truth is, the.

399
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 6: Movement has never been about me. It has always been

400
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 6: about you. It's your movement. It's the biggest movement in

401
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 6: the history of our country by far. Can't be stucked.

402
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 6: It can't be stucked.

403
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 12: And they stay there and they say hell, and they say,

404
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 12: now down, down, it's.

405
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 4: All I do with please, please, and then you.

406
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 2: Go in in any complain.

407
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: Friends of mine brought home their baby a few days ago.

408
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: They'd been trying to get pregnant for about fifteen years.

409
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 1: Those friends of ours, they've come to the house. They're younger,

410
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: a bit younger than we are, ten ten twelve years

411
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: younger than than us, and they know our kids very well.

412
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: And we didn't know they were trying or had been

413
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: trying for a number of years, which can be very

414
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: stressful in a marriage. Women tend to put a lot

415
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: of pressure on themselves. They feel like they failed when

416
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: they think they may be pregnant and they haven't told

417
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: their husband yet, and then they see some spotting and

418
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: they realize, Okay, it didn't work again, and that's just

419
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: very traumatic. You know, it can be tough, and so

420
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, you do this ten twelve times a year

421
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: or so over the course of years. So one day

422
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: they asked us if they could talk to us, and

423
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: they wanted to talk about adoption, obviously knowing our story

424
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: and that is a passion of mine. Speaking of which

425
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: you had to pick which they were doing our adoption

426
00:29:53,240 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: special this year that's usually mid November, so we advise

427
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: them when he sent them to some different people. They went,

428
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: they took all the classes and it's been a couple

429
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: of years, they finally just broke down and said, yeah,

430
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: we got to do this, and so they did, and

431
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: the baby was born. I think the baby was born

432
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: on Monday, and they brought it home. And they brought

433
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: the baby home on Tuesday. I think that's right. Anyway,

434
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: they're just extraordinarily happy. And if you follow me on Twitter,

435
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: they shut down my Facebook page. They won't let me

436
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: post anymore there. But I'm still on Twitter because Elon

437
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: owns it and he doesn't mind me posting a picture

438
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: of Trump's event or whatever. Anyway, there's a picture of

439
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: the little boy, and my goodness, if you want to

440
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: see the face of God, this little boy is such

441
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: a precious miracle. It is just glorious. He's got his

442
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: eyes closed and his hand up under his chin, kind

443
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: of curled up, and Mama is holding him. You can't

444
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: see her, you can just see her beautiful hands and

445
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: it just if you want to see something glorious and

446
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: uplift your day, there it is.

447
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 2: Go check that out.

448
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 4: Ten.

449
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: Tell me about the reunion with your parents when you

450
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: did connect with them at twenty.

451
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 4: Well, after many years of my father knew where I

452
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 4: was at the whole time, that he never bothered to

453
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 4: contact me. My mother had been looking for me for

454
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 4: probably over ten years. She had actually met some friends

455
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 4: that were mutual friends of my aunt on my dad's

456
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 4: side in Hawaii after she left Vietnam. So that friend

457
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 4: put her in contact with my aunt, and my mom asked, hey,

458
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 4: you know, you know where my son's at. Please put

459
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 4: me in contact with him. And for some reason that

460
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 4: I cannot explain, but I hold no grudge, my aunt

461
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 4: would not divulge my local and so my mom tried

462
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 4: for many more years, and then finally, I want to say,

463
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 4: I was I'm twenty years old and my aunt called

464
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 4: me out of the blue and she says, hey, we

465
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 4: found your mom. Do you want to meet her? And

466
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 4: of course I said yes. I mean because I had

467
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 4: no recollection of my father, because I never saw him.

468
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 4: But I always wondered where I was always wondering where

469
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 4: my mom was. And so I got in contact with

470
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 4: my mom. She was in San Diego, she had remarried.

471
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 4: She had two other daughters and three other sons, which

472
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 4: I'd never met before in my life, and so we arranged,

473
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 4: you know, for me to fly out there was shortly

474
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 4: after Christmas. I can't remember what year. I want to

475
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 4: say it was early two thousands, No, I'm sorry, or

476
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 4: mid nineteen ninety. So I flew out there and all

477
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 4: my brothers and sisters were there, my mom with her husband, David,

478
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 4: you know, and I just gave my mom a hug

479
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 4: right away. You know. It was like we were never separated.

480
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 4: We instantly bonded. You know, I could see the love

481
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 4: in her eyes. Sorry, I'm trying to hold it together,

482
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 4: but you know, it was it was great. I mean,

483
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 4: I fell in love with San Diego. I love the weather.

484
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 4: They I think we went to disney World or Disneyland,

485
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 4: whatever it was over there, and you know, I spent

486
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 4: the time, got to know my little brothers and sisters,

487
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 4: and you know, I spent about a week out there.

488
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 4: But then I had to come back to Texas because

489
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 4: my mom was still here, she was still alive. There

490
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 4: was a situation to where I went up to Santa Anna,

491
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 4: where there's a big Asian community, and one of my uncles,

492
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 4: the one that I actually lived with Nebraska for a few months,

493
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 4: wanted to see me. So my mom asked me if

494
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,959
Speaker 4: I wanted to go see him and go out to dinner,

495
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 4: and of course, I went, and because I remembered him,

496
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 4: so I went to this dinner and there was probably

497
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 4: over twenty people there, nobody that I recognized except for

498
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 4: my uncle and his family. And after that dinner, my

499
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 4: mom told.

500
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 1: Me ten, I want to have you back to tell

501
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: your story. I'm up against her break. The show's almost over.

502
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: I would be remiss if I did not remind people,

503
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: this is it right here, right now. You've got eight

504
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: hours in Texas. The poles close at seven. Get there

505
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: before seven. Just had a woman she was getting color

506
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: done at her hairstylist, and her stylist said she was

507
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: going to get off at six tonight and then rush

508
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: over and vote. And she said, if you'll go vote

509
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: right now, I will sit here and wait. The woman left,

510
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: her hairstylist, left, went and voted and came back, and

511
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: when she came back, everybody in the salon gave her

512
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: a standing ovation. Just had it move me to tears.

513
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: She said, no, do not wait till six o'clock. We

514
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: don't know what will happen. It might be raining. This

515
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: is it right here right now.

516
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 4: Go vote.

517
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: Get someone else to go vote. Let's do this
